Hongmeng Law, Yellow-Center Plum!

No wonder Zhao Gongming's composure had cracked. The origins of the ancient little ruler before him were simply too astonishing!

When Pangu created heaven and earth, cleaving apart the Chaos World and evolving the Primordial World, the Great Dao was moved and bestowed astonishing Heaven-Opening Merit.

Thirty percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit went to the Three Pure Ones.

Twenty percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit went to the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Pangu Temple, which had transformed from Pangu's heart.

Five percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit entered Minghe's body as he presided over the Boundless Blood Sea.

Twenty-five percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit scattered across the Primordial World.

The remaining twenty percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit evolved into two postnatal Merit Supreme Treasures. Ten percent merged with Mystic Yellow Mother Qi to form the postnatal Merit defensive Supreme Treasure, the Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. Its defenses were boundless; once deployed, one stood innately undefeated. It was Taiqing's accompanying Supreme Treasure.

The remaining ten percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit evolved into a postnatal Merit slaughter Supreme Treasure—the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler before him.

In terms of slaughter, the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler was in no way inferior to any slaughter Supreme Treasure!

More than that, killing with it incurred no karma.

That was truly astonishing.

As the saying went, mortals feared causes, while immortals and gods feared consequences. In the Primordial World, even Heavenly Dao Sages were unwilling to lightly entangle themselves in karma.

Red Cloud had been a mighty Quasi-Sage, even under Zhen Yuanzi's protection, yet he had still fallen during the Tribulation. It was because he had yielded the Saint Fruit Position in Purple Cloud Palace, incurring karma far too great, and had even become bound by immense karma to the Two Western Sages. If he had not fallen, how could the Two Western Sages have repaid the karma of their Saint Fruit Positions? In the end, he met a fate of self-destruction and death!

Under ordinary circumstances, incurring karma was nothing much.

But once a Tribulation erupted and Sha Qi eroded one's mind, one had to settle all karma to safely pass through the Tribulation.

With the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler, however, one could slay living beings without incurring karma, naturally eliminating the need to worry about such matters.

Moreover, as a postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure containing Heaven-Opening Merit, the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler could suppress one's own Fortune. Its many benefits were simply beyond words.

"Good treasure!"

With a sweep of his hand, Zhao Gongming seized the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler. Clang, clang, clang! Its terrifying slaughter intent carved countless bloody gashes across his palm. He immediately focused his mind and began refining it directly. As a postnatal Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler contained a full forty-nine restrictions. The moment he refined it, numerous insights surged into Zhao Gongming's mind.

[You refined 2 restrictions of the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler and gained slight insight. You comprehended Hongmeng Law. Current Hongmeng Law: 15%]

[You refined 12 restrictions of the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler. Your Hongmeng Law has greatly improved. You comprehended the Great Divine Ability—Golden Light Traversing Earth.]

"Hongmeng Law? Golden Light Traversing Earth?"

Zhao Gongming awoke from his comprehension. A spiritual treasure concealed its brilliance; as the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler underwent preliminary refinement, it had already retracted all its sharpness, transforming into an ancient little ruler that hovered before Zhao Gongming. It appeared utterly ordinary, but only Zhao Gongming knew just how terrifying the power of this postnatal Merit slaughter Supreme Treasure would be once activated.

The gains from this refinement were equally substantial.

Hongmeng Law seemed not to be one of the Three Thousand Great Daos. It possessed no functions such as slaughter or defense. Its sole effect was the perfect fusion of all Law powers. If the Law of Strength drew in and gathered every Law, then Hongmeng Law perfectly fused all of those Laws together. The power it unleashed was no longer as simple as mere addition!

"This?"

Zhao Gongming blinked, then instantly understood just how powerful Hongmeng Law truly was!

Each of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws could lead to Primordial Unity. Why had Pangu been so powerful? It was because the Great Dao of Strength he created was conceptual power. It could draw in all power and gather all power. One axe strike was equivalent to the descent of three thousand Great Daos. Whether one reversed time, leapt through space, or altered fate, Pangu could do all of it—and his comprehension ran even deeper than theirs. Naturally, the Chaos Gods and Demons had been annihilated in an instant.

Yet different Great Daos still repelled one another.

The Great Dao of Light and the Great Dao of Darkness, the Great Dao of Fire and the Great Dao of Water...

If the difficulty of comprehending a Great Dao was one, then the difficulty of fusing Great Daos was ten thousand!

Most importantly, even a Great Dao with weak power would undergo a massive increase in might once fused. The Great Dao of Water and the Great Dao of Fire, for instance, likely ranked near the bottom among the Three Thousand Great Daos. Yet once fused into the Water-Fire Great Dao, they could probably soar into the top thousand Great Dao Laws. When water and fire complemented each other, and if one went further by fusing the Great Daos of Earth, Wood, and Metal, it could even directly transform into a top-ten supreme Great Dao—the Five Elements Great Dao!

This showed just how formidable Hongmeng Law was, capable of perfectly fusing all Great Dao Laws!

If all Three Thousand Great Dao Laws were perfectly fused into it, then even without attaining Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, a single strike could likely make a Saint bleed!

"If I use the Law of Strength to draw in all power, then gather it into Hongmeng Law..."

Zhao Gongming's eyes shone brightly. The Law of Strength could draw in all power.

And Hongmeng Law could perfectly fuse all power. If the two were combined, then evolved into the Great Dao divine ability, Creation-Heaven Strike, what kind of power would it unleash?

The thought alone made Zhao Gongming secretly tremble.

Though he had not yet attained Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, with the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler in hand, he already possessed the strength to threaten Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

Apart from Hongmeng Law, Golden Light Traversing Earth was also among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Great Divine Abilities passed down by Hongjun during his sermon in Purple Cloud Palace. It had been deduced from the Golden Crow Clan's Golden Crow Rainbow-Transformation Art. Once used, one transformed into golden light. Upon comprehending it to perfection, one could even reach the speed limit of the Primordial World. In his previous life on Blue Star, the speed of light had been the limit. Yet how vast was the Primordial World? Its ultimate speed was even more unimaginable. This showed just how astonishing Golden Light Traversing Earth was.

"Not bad!"

After taking stock of all his gains,

Zhao Gongming immediately activated Golden Light Traversing Earth, transforming into a streak of golden light. In an instant, he crossed countless miles and flew directly toward the core region of Fangzhang Immortal Isle.

Experience told him that the good things in a Grotto-Heaven Paradise were all found in its core.

"What is this?"

Very quickly, Zhao Gongming came to a stop. This was already the core region of Fangzhang Immortal Isle. Spiritual roots and spiritual materials covered the ground, while the spiritual qi was so dense that it condensed into spiritual rain and fell from the sky.

Before him now stood a Mystic Yellow tree. It was only three zhang tall, yet its appearance was strange. Its flowers resembled lotuses, while its fruits resembled pearl stamens. Nine ripe fruits hung upon it, releasing an enticing fragrance. Both its flowers and fruits bore the two characters "Yellow Center." One glance was enough to make Zhao Gongming unable to look away.

"Yellow-Center Plum?"
