Now, I Lack Nothing
The pure silver-white hue in my eyes quietly faded away, replaced by an all-encompassing, supreme color—lapis lazuli!
As his gaze shifted, the [Great Luo Heaven] phenomenon that had manifested behind Qi Yun and supported the Star River Firmament suddenly froze!
An indescribable, vast and boundless power, commanding all laws and determining the fate of heaven and earth, suddenly rose from the deepest part of that chaotic halo!
[Supreme Divine Ability Great Luo Edict]!
This was a divine Divine Ability bestowed by Heaven when Qi Yun achieved the Supreme Dao Foundation.
This Divine Ability can directly elevate a Law Technique's realm by one level, transforming Qi Refining Law Technique into Foundation Establishment Law Technique through a major update, or even allowing Foundation Establishment Law Technique spell to be upgraded by a level out of thin air.
What Qi Yun needs to upgrade now is the [Human Emperor Banner].
He brought his index and middle fingers together, and with a flick of his fingertips, a pure, golden light shone forth. He pointed it at the dark [Human Emperor Banner] that had been hanging beside him, its surface fluttering and shimmering with a ghostly glow.
"Imperial Edict!"
With a single, softly uttered word, the imperial decree was laid to rest.
Buzz-!!!
That wisp of azure-gold divine light flew out from the finger, seemingly slow but actually rapid, and instantly disappeared into the pole of the Human Emperor Banner's Banner.
The next instant -
The entire [Human Emperor Banner] trembled violently!
On the banner, the dark gold patterns of mountains, rivers, and the state seemed to come alive, radiating a more profound and weighty Daoist intent than before!
The original jet-black banner suddenly deepened in color, becoming almost black, with countless tiny soul lights flickering like stars within, conveying a seemingly faint yet profound message of prayers from all Divine Soul, of war and conquest, and of dynastic change.
[Human Emperor Banner 5.0: New Mechanism - Human and Banner as One!]
Ancient characters quietly appeared on the Law Technique Panel in the corner of Qi Yun's field of vision.
Almost at the same moment these words appeared, the Human Emperor Banner hanging above Qi Yun's head emitted a bright, eerie light!
On the banner, three figures with solemn auras and respectful expressions appeared simultaneously.
These were none other than Xuan Ping, Mo Shou, and Xuanheng, the three Foundation Establishment True Person who were refined into the Main Soul of the scroll!
At this moment, the Three Hun Souls stood separately in the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and simultaneously raised their hands, their ten fingers blooming like lotus flowers, forming a series of complex and mysterious Method Formula.
As they moved, the vast, ocean-like space within the banner suddenly boiled over!
All the true spirits cried out in unison!
They converged into a magnificent and awe-inspiring aura.
Boom!
The Human Emperor Banner itself, the black banner pole made of some strange material, was the first to emit a humming sound as it struggled under the weight, and fine, dark golden patterns, like blood vessels, appeared on its surface.
Then, the entire banner, from tip to heel, began to melt!
It randomly transformed into a magnificent divine light, condensed to its extreme, with a color as deep as the eternal night, yet containing endless dark golden Flowing Light within!
With unstoppable momentum, it crashed into Qi Yun's chest!
There were no obstacles, no rejection.
The black-gold divine light entered Qi Yun's body without any hindrance.
"Uh one"
Qi Yun's body suddenly trembled.
He felt a vast, heavy, cold, yet ancient and fanatical power surge into his limbs and bones, through his meridians Dantian, and straight to the Purple Mansion Divine Soul!
Rumble!!!
Deep within the Foundation Establishment Realm, the boundless void where the [Great Luo Heaven] Dao Foundation resided suddenly underwent a dramatic change!
A black and gold [phantom of mountains and rivers], seemingly woven from countless miniature mountains, rivers, cities, territories, and scenes of battle, suddenly appeared from the void below!
Like an unparalleled solid foundation, it begins to slowly rise—lifting!
As the [illusory image of mountains and rivers] lifted him up, Qi Yun felt his originally stable Early Foundation Establishment Stage Dao Foundation foundation begin to be affected by a powerful external force.
Keep rising!
Buzz!
Qi Yun's aura, which had been somewhat weakened due to the depletion of his Law Power, suddenly surged wildly, as if he had been thrown into a raging fire of boiling oil!
The deep blue Daoist robe billowed without wind, its fluttering sound like a battle flag, and every pattern on it seemed to be tinged with a faint black and gold halo.
The gray cliff beneath his feet could not withstand the sudden pressure and silently collapsed, shattered, and turned into dust.
Centered on him, a terrifying pressure, as heavy as ten thousand mountains pressing down, swept outwards in all directions like a tangible tide!
Within a radius of ten or a hundred miles—the dust in the air was frozen in place, and the chaotic thoughts were forcibly smoothed out.
At the same time, the strange phenomenon of [Great Luo Heaven] behind Qi Yun also underwent an astonishing change.
The previously somewhat illusory phenomenon began to solidify rapidly under the enhancement of Qi Yun's Dao Position!
The edges of the halo became clearer, and the scenes of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind within became more realistic and vivid, as if they were no longer just a manifestation of an anomaly.
Rather, it is about truly breaking through the boundary between reality and illusion, and truly "descending" from the realm of Tao in the the Unseen to this real world!
An even more vast and primal aura emanated from the gradually solidifying [Great Luo Heaven], intertwining and merging with the surging pressure emanating from Qi Yun.
This gave him an aura that was both unbelievable and terrifying.
Pretending to be in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!
The power achieved by borrowing the power of the myriad souls of the Human Emperor Banner, the original essence of the three True Person 'Main Soul, and the [Great Luo Edict] elevating the banner's magical realm.
The state of "Human and Banner as One".
At this moment, Qi Yun temporarily possessed immense power comparable to, or even slightly surpassing, that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Middle Stage True Person!
He slowly raised his head, his eyes reflecting a blend of cyan and silver starlight. The silver vertical mark between his brows had been covered by a deep black-gold, making him appear even more mysterious and majestic.
Feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed capable of tearing apart the sky and overturning mountains and rivers, Qi Yun gently clenched his fist, his knuckles making a crisp sound like gold and jade striking each other, causing ripples to spread throughout the surrounding space.
"Now----"
He took a step forward, and black-gold lotus flowers with Dao patterns naturally condensed in the void beneath his feet, supporting his figure and slowly rising into the air.
"I have everything I need."
He clasped his hands together in front of his chest with a resounding thud!
At the moment Qi Yun's fingers and palms clashed, there was no thunderous explosion, but it was as if two invisible worlds were violently colliding within a small space.
Buzz!!!
A tremendous roar, piercing the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible, resounded throughout the land.
The chaotic halo of light that had been floating behind Qi Yun, constantly arising and ceasing, suddenly collapsed and condensed inward!
The Infinite Light recedes, and all the myriad Daoist principles return to their source.
In an instant, a real yet transcendent "heaven" descended!
Within this "heaven," countless indescribable, ever-changing "laws" and "principles" floated, Sword Qi crisscrossed, talismans rained down, array patterns covered the ground, and stars Lunzhuan—
Various Daoist images, whether contradictory, different, grand, or mysterious, coexist harmoniously, transform into one another, and are endlessly regenerating.
This is precisely the signature technique of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage— True Person Foundation Establishment Realm Heaven]!
As soon as this Domain Heaven descended, within a hundred feet, all laws were present and all principles existed.
Although it is a "false attainment," its foundation is not as solid and perfect as that of a true Foundation Establishment Middle Stage True Person has broken through through arduous cultivation, and its existence is also limited.
However, the immense status and unparalleled potential originating from the [Supreme Dao Foundation] make the Daoist aura emanating from this [Great Luo Myriad Laws Domain] far surpass that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators.
"Pretending to be in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage? This kid actually possesses such abilities?!"
Almost the instant the [Great Luo Myriad Laws Domain] completely solidified.
Several gazes, as if piercing through layers of void and mist, all converged upon him!
"The 'False Domain Heaven' — Dao Position comparable to Great True Person —truly worthy of this rare [Supreme Position]."
Northeast of Lifeless Valley, outside the central command tent of the World-Suppressing Army.
Celestial Master Chen, who had been standing quietly observing the battle from the sidelines, raised his head slightly and looked up at the distorted and chaotic scene in the sky, which contained endless Daoist laws of birth and death.
For the first time, a clear expression of emotion appeared on his usually calm and composed face, and countless afterimages flickered in his eyes, as if he were rapidly deducing something.
Immediately, his hands, which had been tucked into the wide sleeves of his robe, seemed to move very slightly.
With his fingertips, he subtly and almost imperceptibly formed the starting gesture for a Method Formula.
However-
Just as his fingers twitched slightly, and the Method Formula was about to begin, at that very instant!
Boom!
Four indescribable gazes, like four ancient divine mountains descending from the void, simultaneously fell upon the area where Celestial Master Chen was located!
Within a ten-zhang radius of Celestial Master Chen, the light suddenly dimmed and the air completely froze.
It was as if if he dared to make the slightest move, an unimaginable and terrifying attack would strike in the next instant.
Celestial Master Chen's expression faltered slightly for a moment, then returned to a state of utter calm.
With utmost naturalness, she relaxed the fingers that had just been raised slightly from her sleeve, letting them fall back down.
It was as if that fleeting feeling of excitement had never happened.
Then he raised his head, a slightly helpless smile appearing on his face, and nodded slightly in the direction from which the four invisible yet omnipresent gazes were directed.
"Alright, alright, I am not someone who doesn't understand the rules."
"When juniors compete, they each rely on their own methods, and they bear the consequences of their own actions."
"Old folks—don't get involved."
"Fellow Daoists, please don't be angry, please don't be angry----"
He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he were advising several hot-tempered old friends.
However, those four terrifying gazes, which seemed almost tangible, did not immediately dissipate because of his words.
It remained there, silently and coldly pressing down.
It was as if four ancient gods were silently proclaiming some insurmountable boundary.
Celestial Master Chen's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes grew increasingly profound as he silently confronted the invisible pressure.
After a few breaths.
The immense pressure, like a receding tide, slowly subsided.
The void returned to normal, and the light flowed again.
It was as if the suffocating scene just now was merely an illusion.
Celestial Master Chen let out a soft sigh, the faint smile still on his face. His gaze once again turned to the distant sky, to the location of the [Great Luo Myriad Laws Domain], and to the center of the Domain Heaven, to the young figure in the fluttering dark blue Daoist robe, surrounded by a halo of black gold and silver.
"Supreme Dao Foundation, Falsely Holding the Middle Realm----"
"This game is getting more and more interesting."
He muttered to himself, then his gaze shifted slightly, looking towards a certain direction deep within the Lifeless Valley.
The gray fog there was exceptionally thick, and the deathly stillness almost materialized.
"In the grand scheme of Imperial Weapon, the oriole unaware of the bird behind—now, another unexpected dragon has emerged from the fray."
"Unexpected changes, entangled causes and effects—"
"This pool of water is getting muddier and muddier."
After speaking, he once again resumed his detached and unconcerned demeanor, standing with his sleeves tucked in, as if he were truly just a pure bystander.
