Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 647

The red-clothed girl glanced around, trying to locate the source of the pressure, but the world felt vast and unfathomable, as if it could not be looked upon directly.

Infinite Void had existed for countless ages, passed down through generations of cultivators, some of whom had cultivated it to the fifth layer, attaining the level of Invincible Supreme Saints who towered over the entire chaotic void.

She knew very well the pressure such beings could emanate, yet compared to what she felt now, it still fell short.

"What exactly is going on?"

Her mind raced as she observed. Her first thought was—had Lin Yuan become an Invincible Supreme Saint?

But she immediately dismissed it. First, Lin Yuan hadn't even reached the Chaos Realm yet—how could he be an Invincible Supreme Saint?

Second, the internal universe she sensed hadn't undergone the kind of microscopic structural reorganization that would indicate mastery of the third layer of Infinite Void.

Clearly, he hadn't achieved that yet.

Given that, she was curious as to what exactly had caused this transformation—one so intense that even she could feel its pressure.

Had he mastered a second thirteenth-rank legacy?

But by "mastered," she didn’t mean mere initiation—she meant cultivation at least to the fifth layer, like Infinite Void.

Yet that was nearly impossible. Thirteenth-rank legacies weren’t roadside cabbages one could pick at will. Each came with stringent prerequisites.

That much was evident from how Lin Yuan, despite years of cultivating Infinite Void, was still at the second layer.

Besides, the red-clothed girl faintly sensed that this pressure wasn’t born of some legacy’s power surge.

It had to do with the transformation of his life essence or a breakthrough in his personal Dao—something like the ultimate leap from eleventh-rank to twelfth-rank life, or the complete sublimation of one's Dao.

The giant egg composed of chaos rule veins was now shattering inch by inch, and massive flows of interwoven black-and-white energy spilled out, converging before Lin Yuan.

"This… is the chaos power path I’ve been evolving?"

Lin Yuan gazed at the black-and-white energy before him, feeling both unfamiliar and deeply familiar.

This was a completely new kind of rule-based power he had never grasped before, yet he felt as if it had always been part of him.

The vast black-and-white energy fused and twisted together. Every strand contained the essence of rules Lin Yuan had mastered across the ages. Eventually, as the chaos egg fully shattered, all the black-and-white energy condensed into a single black-and-white Tai Chi diagram.

The white half contained infinite Yang energy—unyielding and pure.

The black half flowed with vast Yin energy—endless and boundless.

Yin and Yang were perfectly balanced, constantly merging and separating every moment.

Rumble～～～

As Lin Yuan looked upon the Tai Chi diagram, even his consciousness seemed to quake. In the instant the diagram formed, a miniature Tai Chi mark appeared at the center of his forehead.

Not just on this avatar in his internal universe, but also on his true body and all his soul avatars scattered across the chaotic void—each bore a Tai Chi mark between their brows.

"Chaos Tai Chi?"

Lin Yuan’s gaze became deeper and more distant than ever. The black-and-white Tai Chi diagram before him instantly expanded countless times, fusing seamlessly with his internal universe.

Though his internal universe spanned trillions of light-years, the Tai Chi diagram covered and merged with it in less than an instant—the very moment Lin Yuan formed the thought.

A thought was all it took.

In the moment the boundless Tai Chi diagram fused with his internal universe, the entire cosmos within began to transform. Space-time grew more perfect, Dao rules rapidly advanced, and the size of the universe began to expand at a furious rate.

Why are those who evolve a chaos power path called Chaos Great Saints, rather than just Venerables?

Because the strength of a Chaos Great Saint far surpasses that of a Chaos Venerable in every way, due to the evolved power path.

When a Chaos Great Saint evolves a power path, their entire being receives a feedback effect—from body and soul to mind, will, and internal universe—everything gets an immense upgrade.

Though Lin Yuan hadn’t reached the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, the evolution of the Chaos Tai Chi Dao alone triggered a comprehensive transformation.

The internal universe's change was immediately sensed by the red-clothed girl.

"This change…?"

She was shocked.

This transformation wasn’t like the restructuring from cultivating Infinite Void.

Infinite Void essentially restructured the most microscopic components of the internal universe—like turning carbon into diamond, the particles were still the same.

But now, the transformation was on the most direct level: from one to two, from a hundred to a thousand to ten thousand.

Everything was ascending and evolving—like rising into the clouds in broad daylight.

"A chaos power path… He’s evolved one?"

The girl finally deduced the key point. Few things could cause this level of transformation in the internal universe—entering the Chaos Realm or evolving a chaos power path were among the only possibilities.

"But what kind of chaos power path is this? How can it cause such a commotion?"

She took a deep breath. She had no doubt Lin Yuan could evolve a chaos power path, given his talent.

But now—

The sheer magnitude of the transformation, and the immense pressure she felt, made her question everything she thought she knew.

What kind of path could carry such power at the very moment of its birth?

Outside, deep in the Milky Way Chaos Continent—

Lin Yuan was immersed in the full-body transformation, feeling the Chaos Tai Chi Dao taking root like a great pillar holding up all of reality.

"Hmm?"

The Tai Chi mark on his brow slowly rotated, and an unknown ripple spread from him—

In all directions, through heaven and earth, across the chaotic void.

"Is this the process of imprinting my Dao into the chaotic void?"

Lin Yuan's expression turned contemplative. Every Chaos Great Saint, upon their emergence, would go through this: marking their Dao within chaos.

"It's like an anchor or a beacon." Lin Yuan didn’t resist. Imprinting one’s Dao into chaos created a connection—should he ever fall into a time loop, this anchor might help him break free.

Whether it was imprinting one's Dao into chaos, or spreading offshoots of one’s evolved path—the purpose was to establish anchors and waypoints.

But breaking through time loops ultimately depended on oneself—these measures could only help.

Still, Lin Yuan would not miss a single opportunity to aid that breakthrough. He would push every external condition to its peak.

The Chaos Tai Chi Dao quickly fused into the infinite void.

At that moment—

Hidden beings in various secret corners of the chaotic void seemed to sense something. They turned to gaze distantly toward the Milky Way Chaos Continent.

"A Chaos Great Saint is being born, imprinting his Dao into chaos?"

"A new chaos power path is emerging. But is this really new? How can it be more terrifying than some Supreme Saints?"

These special existences found it hard to believe.

As thirteenth-rank-related entities—such as the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws, or the spirits of mysterious lands—they were unimaginably ancient, having witnessed countless Chaos Great Saints, Supreme Saints, and even Invincible Supreme Saints rise and fall. A typical Dao imprinting couldn’t attract their attention.

But now, as the Chaos Tai Chi Dao expanded and etched itself into chaos, it caused subtle yet massive changes throughout the chaotic void—so significant that even they were shaken.

"That’s the Milky Way Great Saint. Not long ago, he suppressed several other Chaos Great Saints in the Mysterious Emperor Universe. At the time, his strength was only close to that of a Supreme Saint."

One special being immediately recognized Lin Yuan—it was that broken two-part longsword. "This Milky Way Great Saint must have cultivated the thirteenth-rank legacy that represents that being’s foundational strength. That’s how he swept other Great Saints without a power path."

"That legacy? It’s remarkable. But if he was near Supreme Saint level without a power path, and now he’s evolved one—one this powerful—doesn’t that make him a Supreme Saint immediately?"

The special beings conferred with one another. They had lived too long to care about ordinary Saints. But an Invincible Supreme Saint? Only one appeared every few cosmic eras. Each left an indelible mark upon the chaotic void—worthy of their attention.

Especially someone like Lin Yuan—an unconventional Invincible Supreme Saint? To be one the moment his power path evolved? That level of transformation might never have occurred since the chaotic void’s birth.

"This Milky Way Great Saint... If nothing goes wrong, and he keeps growing, he’ll rank top five—maybe top three—among all Invincible Supreme Saints in our chaotic void’s history."

One special being sighed in awe.

To become an Invincible Supreme Saint, one had to defeat all Saints of their era, commanding full submission. Thus, theoretically, there shouldn’t be direct clashes between them.

But in the minds of these special beings, they had still ranked them all. And Lin Yuan’s current display was so dazzling, it was unbelievable—even among Invincible Supreme Saints.

"Milky Way Great Saint…"

Among them, the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was deeply moved. He had always believed Lin Yuan would at least become an Invincible Supreme Saint. But this day had come far too soon.

And if Lin Yuan kept growing? Top five—top three—in the entire chaotic void’s history?

Don’t underestimate that. The chaotic void had existed for endless ages and birthed countless monstrous geniuses. To rank in the top five or three?

That was staggering.

Especially considering certain eras when thirteenth-rank time-beings personally took interest and trained disciples.

Deep in the Milky Way Chaos Continent—

After evolving his power path, Lin Yuan’s perception soared. In the moment he imprinted his Dao into chaos, he sensed subtle gazes upon him.

"Those special beings?"

He didn’t pay them much mind. Whether it was the Lord of the Devil Jade Tower or His Majesty the Mysterious Sovereign, they merely held a level of wariness toward such entities—not fear.

Those beings couldn’t act on their own. As long as you didn’t provoke them, nothing would happen. Even if you did, it might not attract the attention of the thirteenth-rank being behind them.

"My current strength..."

Lin Yuan calmed his thoughts. The violent surge at the beginning had slowed somewhat. But even slowed, his growth was still far beyond the reach of ordinary Chaos Great Saints.

The boost from a chaos power path depended on the path itself. Most paths differed only slightly—so the power-ups were similar.

But Lin Yuan?

Just the prerequisite for evolving the Chaos Tai Chi Dao—peak second-stage chaos rule comprehension—was already unreachable for nearly all Chaos Great Saints.

And for anyone but Lin Yuan, without Unrivaled Insight, even third-stage comprehension wouldn’t be enough.

Internal universe—

Beside the jade gourd, the red-clothed girl stood still, feeling the changes in the Dao of time and space every instant. She didn’t know what to say.

Buzz.

Lin Yuan’s form condensed nearby. He smiled at the red-clothed girl.

"What kind of chaos power path did you evolve?" she couldn’t help but ask.

"What kind?" Lin Yuan paused briefly, then said, "I call it Chaos Tai Chi."

As soon as the words left his mouth—

The red-clothed girl saw Lin Yuan raise his right hand. Black and white energy swirled at his fingertips. Though confined to just his hand, its influence rippled through layers of space-time.

"Chaos Tai Chi? That might be the most powerful chaos power path I’ve ever seen."

Then, as if remembering something, she quickly added, "Excluding my old master."

By "old master," she meant the creator of Infinite Void, that thirteenth-rank time-being.

"Of course, I can’t compare to such a great time-being."

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head. The further he cultivated, the more he felt the gap between himself and thirteenth-rank life.

He had studied the thirteenth-rank weapon Tianxu Cauldron, and from its residual imprint, he sensed that even a sliver of power from a time-being could obliterate tens of thousands—hundreds of thousands—of void realms.

"Do we still have any Immortal Essence Gold?"

He looked at the red-clothed girl and asked.

Immortal Essence Gold was a special metallic material used to measure the strength of one’s internal universe.

Earlier, when Lin Yuan reached the second layer of Infinite Void, he had used this metal to gauge his universe's tier.

"There’s still a little left," the girl nodded. "But what do you want it for?"

With a calm voice and a faint smile, Lin Yuan replied, "I want to see just how strong I am now."
