Chapter 673: Genesis Creation, Supreme Law (II)

From within a seclusion chamber, An Fuqing, who carried four swords on her back, couldn't hide her amazement. "Has he successfully created the world?"

However, while the masses gazed in awe at the heavens, believing Chen Chu had succeeded, the Bright Blade King and Heavenly King Jiuyou grew increasingly solemn.

This was because they knew that world creation was never that simple. For instance—

Boom!

The heavens trembled. High above in the sky, deep within the rift of the heavenly eye, the grand ancient palace descended from the skies, pressing down upon the world, the heavens and earth, and all existence. With a thunderous crash, it landed on the planar world projection.

The tremors intensified—far greater than before. Most notably, the barrier separating the two halves of the world, a construct of World Force formed by Chen Chu’s halberd strike, began to fracture under the palace’s oppressive might.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the weight of the ancient palace bearing down, the world quaked violently. The ascending ethereal energy wavered, while the descending chaotic energy roiled, showing signs of merging once more.

"You think you can stop me from creating a world? Impossible!"

Chen Chu’s roar echoed through the heavens. His halberd became a pillar propping up the sky. At the same time, his six arms stretched out, lifting the descending sky and preventing it from collapsing.

Boom!

Chen Chu’s body shuddered violently as an indescribable weight bore down upon him. Even he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

So heavy!

Hah!

Letting out a deep, dragon-like roar, Chen Chu exploded with an infinite surge of power, pushing back against the crushing force above.

Crack! Crack!

As his body reached its absolute physical limit, a layer of thick black-and-red dragon scales surfaced across his skin, with faint, fine scales spreading across his face.

Simultaneously, a pair of fearsome, branching dragon horns grew from his forehead, followed by the emergence of a massive dragon tail behind him.

Boom!

The entire world shuddered. The descending sky, which had already sunken slightly, trembled violently before being forced back upward by Chen Chu in his Battle Demon God Dragon Emperor Form.

Despite the relentless pressure of the ancient heavenly palace, it could no longer suppress him. That unyielding, ten-thousand-meter colossus stood immovable, as if a divine mountain was piercing the heavens.

Huff! Huff!

Chen Chu exhaled deeply, his breath turning into tempestuous gales.

As he held the sky aloft once more, the planar world resumed its separation and evolution. The entire realm expanded, enlarged, and its crystalline walls thickened.

Simultaneously, as his true form held the sky, a resonance occurred. His soul, his true form, and his consciousness fused completely with the world, and he entered a supreme state of oneness.

In that moment, he saw them—the sequence chains of the principles. These incomprehensible, omnipotent chains pierced through the mythical world, through the endless void of chaos, through billions of worlds.

Each sequence chain radiated an ancient, mysterious aura, emitting an indescribable brilliance.

Though they were called chains, in truth, they had no true form—their appearance was merely how Chen Chu perceived them in this moment.

Each of these brilliant chains represented a supreme law—time, space, causality, reincarnation, creation, destruction, yin and yang, light and darkness...

Right now, these principle powers were slowly seeping into the planar world, shaping it into a real world.

As the one who created these heavens, Chen Chu needed only to reach out, and he could comprehend these divine forces, grasping a supreme law that belonged solely to him.

This was why world creators could wield supreme laws.

However, though Chen Chu could see these supreme principles, truly comprehending them was an immense challenge, and he had only one chance to touch them. He had to choose the supreme path that resonated with him before the world fully evolved.

A single wrong choice would limit his future. Even if he managed to grasp a supreme law now, it would be difficult to advance it beyond the intermediate stage, let alone reach the advanced stage, when fusion of laws would occur.

As he gazed at the countless supreme principles permeating the heavens and earth, Chen Chu remained calm, and didn’t rush his decision. Instead, he turned inward—analyzing himself, his path, and his Dao.

What do I need?

His physical body was unrivaled, akin to a mythical colossal beast compressed into human form. Besides, he also had divine abilities such as Vacuum Supremacy, Heaven-Stepping Divine Movement and Absolute Barrier.

In terms of true martial arts, he had already comprehended the laws of death, void, Great Heavenly Sun Flame, and Divine Thousand-Tribulation Lightning, along with the unformed soul law.

With the addition of Void Death Pupils, Apocalypse Purgatory and the True Soul Emperor Form, every aspect of his power was balanced and overwhelming, allowing him to shatter limits and unleash power far beyond his cultivation realm.

So then, which supreme law was most compatible with his path?

***

As Chen Chu contemplated his path, deliberating which supreme law to choose, Zhulong arrived at the Blue Planet’s world passage.

Being a draconic colossal beast, it possessed speed rivaling that of flying creatures. Without the Single-Horned Kunpeng slowing it down, it had taken only a single day to traverse hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

On the Blue Planet, more than three thousand meters below the surface of the ocean, a massive blue vortex over six hundred meters high rotated slowly. The invisible world power surrounding it created a vacuum zone spanning over a thousand meters.

Not far from the vortex, a sixty-five-meter-long black orca swam leisurely. Its body emanated the formidable aura of a level 8 being, causing countless smaller mutated fish to flee in terror.

Beside it, a forty-meter-long female orca followed closely. A white "backpack" several meters in size hung from the black-and-white dorsal fin on its back.

Watching the black orca drifting about so casually, the female orca let out a soft call.

Leader, you are a cavalry general of the Dragon Palace. Why did you choose to guard this passage?

The female orca was puzzled. It didn’t understand why their leader had abandoned the duty of commanding a vast army of mutated colossal beasts, choosing instead to remain here as a passage guardian.

Compared to leading dozens of level 7 and 8 colossal beasts in patrols across the ocean, being stationed here with just the two of them felt lonely and desolate.

Faced with its mate’s curiosity, the black orca let out a series of proud squeaks.

Little Hime, you don’t understand. This is the place where Uncle left.

The female orca tilted its head with a confused squeak.

What does that have to do with Lord Thunder Fiery leaving?

Noticing his mate’s bewilderment, the black orca patiently explained,

Think about it. If one day Uncle returns, and we’re the first ones to welcome him, how do you think he’ll feel?

Little Hime cocked its head again, still unable to grasp his reasoning.

Seeing this, the black orca shook its head with a sigh.

Forget it. You won’t understand even if I explain it. You’ll see when the time comes.

Oh.

Little Hime obediently nodded.

The distant blue vortex suddenly trembled violently. The black orca’s eyes lit up with excitement, and it let out an eager cry.

Quick! We need to hurry over! It must be Uncle returning!

Boom!

The blue vortex shuddered, and a colossal red beast, over 350 meters long, burst forth. It resembled a majestic eastern dragon, and the moment it appeared, a mythical-level aura surged outward, terrifying and vast.

As a domain rippled through the surroundings, the black orca, now airborne, felt a heavy pressure, but still enthusiastically swam closer.

Uncle Zhulong! You’re back! Oh, is Uncle Thunder Fiery back too?

Zhulong hesitated for a moment at the black orca’s enthusiastic approach. It remained silent for nearly a few minutes before responding with a slow, guttural growl.

No... Thunder... Fiery... did... not... return. Hu San... why... are... you... here?

The black orca, wagging its tail, let out a series of cheerful squeaks.

After you left, Uncle, I worried that enemies might destroy the passage. If that happened, you wouldn’t be able to return. So, I personally requested to guard it.

A glimmer of appreciation flickered in the colossal red beast’s eyes. After several more minutes, it slowly rumbled.

Well... done.

As it spoke, a glow flashed beneath Zhulong’s reverse scale, and a massive blue crystal emerged, three meters in diameter and radiating immense energy.

This... is... a... high-level... divine crystal. It... strengthens... colossal beasts... and... purifies... bloodlines.

Since Zhulong had returned, as an elder, it naturally had to reward its juniors.

Fortunately, it still had some leftover divine crystals from its battle alongside the Single-Horned Kunpeng. Having already absorbed enough of them to develop a resistance, it decided to offer one as a gift.

Sensing the law-infused energy within the blue crystal, the black orca let out a series of excited squeaks.

Thank you, Uncle Zhulong! Oh, by the way, Little Hime is here with me, guarding the passage too!

Turning around, the black orca called toward the ocean.

Little Hime, hurry and greet Uncle Zhulong!

Bang!

From a distance, the water exploded, and Little Hime’s head emerged. As it gazed upon the massive red beast radiating overwhelming might, its eyes filled with awe. With reverence, she let out a respectful call.

Little Hime greets Lord Zhulong!

Zhulong paused, staring at the small level 6 female orca in the distance. After a long silence, the glow beneath its reverse scale shimmered slightly, and a divine fruit, about several meters in size, appeared.

You... are... too... weak. A... high-level... divine artifact... is... too... much... for... you. Here... take... this... ordinary... divine fruit.

The black orca let out a delighted call.

Little Hime, hurry and thank Uncle Zhulong!

T-Thank you, Lord Zhulong!

Little Hime was trembling with excitement. At that moment, it finally understood why its leader had chosen to guard the passage.

As expected of my leader!

The female orca's gaze shifted toward the floating black orca, who stood proudly within its domain. A light of fanatic admiration shone in the female orca's eyes.
