Xuan Ming said coldly, "Four kinds of power? That restriction is no simple thing. Pan Xuan's younger brother, can you break it?"
Pan Xuan did not answer immediately. With a thought, a streak of dark-yellow light flew out from between his brows.
Within that light, a ruler slowly emerged.
The ruler was roughly three feet, six inches, and five fen long, its entire body the color of chaos. It was neither metal nor jade, neither wood nor stone, yet it radiated an indescribably profound aura.
Xuanhuang Qi faintly flowed over the ruler, Merit Golden Light flickered, and an essence of standards and measurement spread outward.
It seemed that everything in the world-length and breadth, height and depth, good and evil, right and wrong-could be measured by this single ruler.
It was none other than the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler.
Pan Xuan reached out and grasped the Heaven-Measuring Ruler. The Xuanhuang Merit Light upon it resonated with his Vast Righteous Qi, kindling a layer of golden radiance.
He stepped forward, stood at the edge of the clearing, raised the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and lightly drew it across the invisible restriction.
Where the ruler's edge passed, a streak of Xuanhuang Merit Light slashed into the restriction like a sharp blade.
The restriction shook violently, the runes on its surface flashing wildly. The four powers of earth, water, fire, and wind tried to resist, but before the Heaven-Measuring Ruler's power of standards and measurement, their resistance proved futile.
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler inherently possessed the ability to establish standards and measure. It could measure the lengths and heights of all things in heaven and earth, and discern the weak points of all illusory restrictions.
The Xuanhuang Merit Light upon it was also a potent weapon against all sinister powers, complementing the Vast Righteous Qi perfectly.
