Four hours later. In the inner world of Chaos, above Purple Mist Palace, countless mystical phenomena appeared.
Purple energies came from the east, enveloping the sky.
Golden lotus surged from the ground, dazzling with golden light, tremendously beautiful.
Three thousand divine demons raced, howling towards the sky, shaking ancient times and space.
Three thousand paths crisscrossed the heavens and earth, suppressing the endless chaotic void, supremely terrifying.
And all beings knelt...
What scenes of Saints breaking through, what signs of Unity Realm breakthroughs, compared to this, are like small witches meeting great witches.
And this.
Is merely the beginning of the breakthrough.
The real concern lies with Rule Power.
When breaking through Dao Saint Realm, divine and demon shadows are elicited.
Upon breaking into Unity Realm, the great way can be elicited.
When breaking through to Unity Realm Stage, Rule Power will be elicited.
Moreover, the amount of Rule Power directly affects the breaker’s potential and combat power.
Boom!
Under the gaze of all, the heavens of the inner world of Chaos and the underworld began to sink, countless mystical phenomena being crushed to the ground, lying prostrate outside Purple Mist Palace.
Above the ninth heavens, dazzling rays flickered, revealing lines of Rule Power filled with Rhymes in Dao.
This rule is named Enslavement!
Under the rule, all creatures of the inner world of Chaos and the underworld are slaves to the rule!
Any creature defying the rule will become heretical and suffer heavenly retribution.
"I wonder how much Rule Power the mysterious figure breaking through rule domain will elicit!"
In Xuan City, Elder Lian exited the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, looking towards the myriad worlds, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Rule domain!
Martial Artists of this category in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion can become masters of a division.
Even in the Tianhe cosmos, they are not considered weak, but are a mainstay, capable of serving as middle-ranking military officers when joining the army.
"If one can elicit a thousand lines of Rule Power, it would be worthy of Elder Lian personally inviting them to join the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!"
Elder Lian murmured softly.
A thousand lines!
This is the difference between a genius rule domain Martial Artist and an ordinary rule domain Martial Artist!
Generally, a Martial Artist able to elicit a thousand lines of Rule Power has at least an eighty percent chance, with regular cultivation, to break through to Creation Realm.
As for Martial Artists eliciting two thousand lines of Rule Power, history in the Tianhe cosmos has never seen one.
Even the Supreme Entrepreneur of Tianhe cosmos, at the time of breakthrough to rule domain, only elicited one thousand nine hundred lines of Rule Power.
"Five hundred lines of Rule Power!"
In the Nine Provinces Heavenly Great World, Qin Wudao looked towards the inner world of Chaos, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He also knew the more Rule Power elicited, the stronger the Martial Artist’s strength.
As an enemy of Hongjun, he naturally did not wish for Hongjun to be too strong.
"I wonder when Xuanzang will emerge!"
Qin Wudao turned his head to look at Endless Palace, presently entirely enveloped in Buddhist rules, Buddhist sounds echoing, purifying the hearts of all beings.
Now, twenty years have passed since Xuanzang obtained the ’Buddha Enlightened Throne’, yet until today there are no signs of emergence.
Just inadvertently, a very terrifying aura would emanate, suppressing the great way.
Time flowed, dark night passed.
The dawning light added a touch of color to the dark earth.
At this moment.
Above Hongjun’s head, Rule Power reached an astounding nine hundred and ninety-nine lines.
Just one line short of breaking through to a thousand, becoming a prodigy among rule domain.
"My goodness, could a prodigy emerge from the barren Xuan cosmos?"
Elder Lian gasped, his eyes filled with even greater anticipation.
Meanwhile, from a nearby black hall not far from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, a dreadful energy fluctuation emanated.
"Even these cold-blooded guys can be excited?"
Elder Lian glanced at the black hall, then withdrew his gaze.
Deep down, he was already planning how to draw the mysterious prodigy into the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
And his eagerness had reason.
Performance assessments within Immortal Treasure Pavilion are diverse; if he can bring in a prodigy with potential for Creation Realm breakthrough, it counts as a major achievement, earning him rich rewards, maybe even transferring back to headquarters.
Another hour passed.
The sky above the inner world of Chaos added another line of Rule Power!
Thus, Hongjun elicited one thousand lines of Rule Power!
As the thousandth line of Rule Power appeared, the heavenly phenomena dissipated.
"Prepare gifts, go visit the future prodigy of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!"
Elder Lian smiled slightly and loudly ordered.
Nearby in the black palace, several figures clad in black robes emerged, exuding chilling murderous aura, tearing through the starry sky.
"A thousand lines!"
Within Purple Mist Palace, Hongjun opened his eyes, dazzling with light, seemingly containing sun, moon, and stars, incredibly profound, discerning all.
Breaking through rule domain should be a joyous event.
Yet, not a hint of a smile was seen upon his face, instead, he was deeply gloomy, filled with rage and killing intent.
"Damn Qin Dynasty!"
Hongjun cursed inwardly.
Had the Qin Dynasty’s rise not occurred, he would not have prematurely broken through rule domain, but waited until the Human Emperor’s seal was lifted, to establish rules throughout the myriad worlds, then proceed with the breakthrough.
He only established rules in the inner world of Chaos and the underworld during this breakthrough.
If he also included the outer world of Chaos and the myriad worlds, he was confident in eliciting two thousand lines of Rule Power, becoming a monstrous prodigy among rule domain.
Thinking of this, Hongjun’s heart bled.
The difference between one thousand and two thousand lines of Rule Power is akin to the gap between a Saint and an Immortal!
Simultaneously, his killing intent towards the Qin Dynasty grew even heavier!
"Congratulations, Master, for breaking through rule domain!"
"Congratulations, Lord, for breaking through rule domain!"
"Congratulations, Dao Ancestor, for breaking through rule domain!"
"Congratulations, Old Master, for breaking through rule domain!"
At this moment, sounds of worship echoed from outside Purple Mist Palace.
Upon hearing, Hongjun deeply inhaled, his expression returned to calm, his aura transcended, towering above heaven and earth.
"Enter!"
Speaking, he withdrew the formation.
A group of people bowed as they entered.
Leading were six Saints, followed by the Celestial Emperor, the Celestial Empress, the Clan Leaders of the Eight families protecting Heaven, the Daoshou of Heavenly Path Realm, and thirty-six disciples bearing honorary titles.
As for the others, they waited outside Purple Mist Palace.
"Still haven’t broken through Unity Realm Stage?"
Hongjun looked at the crowd, his gaze fixed upon six direct disciples, his brow slightly furrowed.
"The disciples are dull!"
Daosheng Taihong, Dao Saint Guhao, Dao Saint Tianyuan, the six hung their heads, faces showing remorse.
Within them, Rule Power existed, enough to break through Unity Realm Stage.
But now, the Dao Ancestor broke through, yet they linger at the Peak of Dao Saint Realm, really quite unjustifiable.
"Out!"
Hongjun pondered briefly, pointed a finger, six lines of Rule Power flew out from Daosheng Taihong and the others, coiling above the great hall.
"Master, calm down!"
The six were aghast, thinking Hongjun intended to strip away their hope of Unity Realm Stage, trembling in fear.
But soon, they realized their mistake.
"Go!"
Hongjun grasped the six lines of Rule Power, infused them with powerful strength, then implanted them into Daosheng Taihong and the others.
