Absurd Divine Ability: Words Become Law?

The Chen Family prodigy who possessed the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart had remained seated cross-legged ever since the sermon ended.

His eyes were tightly shut, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Why hasn't Musen woken up yet?"

"Yeah, Big Brother Yuanba and Sister Qingshuang both comprehended Greater Divine Abilities. Big Brother Musen's comprehension should only be higher than theirs, so why is he the slowest instead?"

"What do you know? The more powerful the insight, the longer it takes! Big Brother Musen must be holding back something even bigger!"

"Bigger? What could be bigger than a Greater Divine Ability?"

For a time, everyone's eyes focused on Chen Musen.

Chen Yuanba and Chen Qingshuang had already awakened one after another, each comprehending a Greater Divine Ability. Now, only Chen Musen remained.

Time slowly passed, from day to night, then from night to day.

Above Purple Sun Peak, the purple sun condensed by the formation flickered three times.

Three days and three nights quietly passed amid the silent waiting.

The Chen Family members watching went from holding their breaths at first, to some quietly sitting cross-legged to regulate their breathing, to others unable to resist speaking in low voices.

Yet no matter how time passed, Chen Musen remained as motionless as a stone statue.

No one left, nor did anyone grow impatient.

What a joke. Chen Yuanba and Chen Qingshuang had both comprehended Greater Divine Abilities. How could Chen Musen, the one with the highest comprehension among the three, possibly return empty-handed?

Who could help but look forward to it?

"He's awake!"

A startled cry suddenly erupted from the crowd. Everyone perked up and looked over in unison.

Sure enough!

Chen Musen's eyes, which had been closed for three full days and nights, finally slowly opened.

There was no spell-light pillar shooting into the heavens, no vast Dao aura sweeping in every direction, not even the slightest phenomenon.

He merely opened his eyes calmly and rose to his feet calmly, as though he had only taken a short nap.

"Holy crap, after three days and nights, Chen Musen finally woke up!"

"I wonder what Divine Ability he comprehended this time?"

The Chen Family members stretched their necks, their eyes brimming with anticipation.

Chen Yuanba and Chen Qingshuang had both comprehended Greater Divine Abilities. As one of the Chen Family's foremost prodigies, Chen Musen could not possibly be worse than them.

Yet his utterly calm appearance made everyone unable to stop muttering to themselves.

Why was there no commotion at all?

No way, had he failed to comprehend anything?

That shouldn't be possible!

Then—

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Musen unhurriedly straightened his robes and respectfully bowed toward the figure in green on the viewing platform. His voice was calm and gentle. "Junior Chen Musen thanks Ancestor for the guidance of your sermon."

"Fortunately, I did not fail your expectations, and comprehended the Divine Ability—Words Become Law."

Oh, so he had comprehended a Divine Ability!

That was good!

The Chen Family members collectively let out a breath of relief.

Thank goodness. They had truly been on edge just now.

Words Become Law?

It sounded like a spell-type Divine Ability. It suited Chen Musen's usual style quite well, considering he normally loved tinkering with spells.

"Eh... wait."

"Something's wrong..."

The smile on a Sequence Prodigy's face suddenly froze. He slowly turned his head, his voice dry. "What did Chen Musen just say? Words Become Law?"

"Words Become Law? Fuck, don't tell me... it's literal again?"

The atmosphere around them instantly froze solid.

Everyone present recalled something at the same time.

Chen Yuanba's Ancestor Blesses Me, taken literally, meant asking the Ancestor for protection.

Chen Qingshuang's Sword, Come!, taken literally, meant Myriad Swords Pay Homage.

Then Chen Musen's Words Become Law...

For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces changed from relief to astonishment, then from astonishment to disbelief.

Chen Yuanba and Chen Qingshuang both widened their eyes.

They exchanged a glance and saw the very same thought in each other's eyes—could Chen Musen really be that absurd?

Damn it!

Don't pull something like this. They were all the Chen Family's top prodigies; could he at least leave them some dignity?

Chen Changqing paused slightly as well, a rare flicker of surprise passing through his eyes.

"Words Become Law? He actually comprehended such a Divine Ability?"

Even the old ancestor, Chen Haotian, could no longer sit still.

He sprang to his feet and urged impatiently, "Quick, quick, quick! Show us!"

He refused to believe something so outrageous.

Could a casually spoken sentence really become reality?

If this Divine Ability was truly real, wouldn't that be far too absurd?

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

Chen Musen clasped his hands and answered, his expression still calm and composed.

He turned around, swept his gaze across Purple Sun Peak, pondered briefly, then softly uttered two words. "Sword, Come!"

Buzz—

A longsword formed from pure spell power appeared out of thin air in his palm. Its blade was translucent like glazed crystal; it truly was a Dharma sword created from the very word "sword."

Chen Qingshuang's pupils abruptly contracted. She could sense that this was a sword born from nothing!

Unlike her Divine Ability, Sword, Come!, he had directly constructed a sword from thin air.

Chen Musen did not pause. He raised a hand and pointed toward the rolling clouds high above, speaking calmly. "Lightning, Come!"

Boom!

A bolt of purple lightning as thick as a water barrel struck down from the clear sky without warning, viciously blasting an expanse of wasteland and leaving behind a scorched crater so deep its bottom could not be seen.

All the Chen Family members were instantly dumbstruck.

"That mountain range, shift three zhang."

Chen Musen pointed toward a towering mountain peak in the distance.

As soon as his words fell, the mountain, thousands of zhang high, seemed to be seized by an invisible giant hand and rumbled three zhang sideways.

"Sun and moon, lose your light."

Chen Musen looked up at the sky. The instant those four words left his mouth, the heavens seemed to have their light covered by an invisible curtain.

For dozens of li around, darkness descended briefly.

Though the light returned after only a few breaths, it was enough to make every person present feel their scalps go numb.

Chen Musen continued. He turned around, his gaze settling on a Chen Family member whose cultivation was at the Elixir Origin Realm.

The clan member shuddered all over beneath that gaze. Before he could react, Chen Musen said, "You, break through to the Dharma Form Realm immediately."

The moment his words fell.

That clan member's entire body shook violently, and an immense aura burst uncontrollably from within him.

Spiritual energy poured into his body like a mad vortex, and he truly broke through to the Dharma Form Realm on the spot!

The man was shocked and overjoyed, trembling with excitement until he could not even speak.

The entirety of Purple Sun Peak fell deathly silent.

Everyone stood there stupidly, their minds completely blank.

Some had their mouths hanging open and forgot to close them, while others rubbed their eyes, thinking they were dreaming...

"Fuck... there really is such an absurd Divine Ability in this world?"

"Whatever he says appears—who could possibly beat him?"

"I thought Chen Yuanba and Chen Qingshuang's Divine Abilities were already absurd enough. I never expected Chen Musen's Divine Ability to be this outrageously strong too!"

"Chen Musen held back for three days and nights, and he really did hold back the biggest one!"

"This is way too absurd, isn't it? Doesn't that make him invincible?"

Forget the ordinary clan members—even Chen Yuanba and Chen Qingshuang wore complicated expressions at this moment.

Chen Changqing sat on the viewing platform, lightly tapping the armrest with his fingers. His reaction was not nearly as exaggerated as everyone else's.

During that brief demonstration, his terrifying comprehension, stacked over a million years, had already thoroughly analyzed the Divine Ability Words Become Law from beginning to end.

This Divine Ability was indeed incomparably powerful. It communicated with the origin of the Great Dao through speech, directly turning one's thoughts into reality.

But it was not truly invincible!
