Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 793

The slaughter did not cease with Lord Wanwei's “accidental entry.” No matter how the terrifying beings from other timelines struggled, they were swiftly wiped out under the sweep of the formless aura—every trace of their existence across past, present, and future timelines erased.

“What… what is happening? I've never heard of this! So many lords perishing at once—and perishing completely. Has this been covered up by the will of the Supreme Rule Dao?”

Lord Wanwei stood frozen, terrified. He had observed countless timelines, roamed many future epochs, yet never heard of a massacre where even legendary lords who’d survived a hundred million tribulations were slaughtered like dust.

Shhhhhh—

In the distance—

Ripples of formless aura spread, forcing a figure into visibility. It was Lord Return to Ruin.

Faced with the formless aura, even beings at the edge of the path to transcendence were barely clinging to life—let alone Return to Ruin.

His body, soul, will were being rapidly annihilated. All of his life-saving methods across past, present, and future were compromised. The feeling of approaching total death sent Lord Return to Ruin into a panic.

“Supreme Rule Dao Will! Are you not going to act?! This is the target you told us to stop?! Hahahaha! Damn you, Supreme Rule Dao Will!”

In his final moments, Lord Return to Ruin lost all restraint, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, cursing the Supreme Rule Dao Will.

Indeed—

This tribulation test, even if failed, would not bring destruction from the Supreme Rule Dao Will.

It had sounded like a good deal.

But with Lin Yuan's current strength—

There was no need for the Supreme Rule Dao Will to erase them. The Milky Way Lord wiped them out directly.

And Return to Ruin was not alone in his resentment—many other legendary lords and terrifying beings felt the same.

What Lin Yuan did to them was understandable.

After all, they had done the unthinkable first—using Lin Yuan’s kin, family, and friends as leverage.

So his retaliation was perfectly justified.

But the Supreme Rule Dao Will?

These terrifying beings from other timelines had endured billions of tribulations. They knew from past experience that no matter how brutal the tribulations the Supreme Rule Dao Will imposed, there was always a sliver of hope.

No matter how slim that hope, there was always a chance of survival.

But now?

Faced with the Milky Way Lord seated atop time and space, they were like fish on a cutting board—no way to stop him, no way to flee.

How were they supposed to pass this trial?

With what?

Under such circumstances, the Supreme Rule Dao Will naturally became the outlet for all the dying lords’ rage and despair.

“I don’t understand. Why would the Supreme Rule Dao Will set down a tribulation with zero hope of success? Was it just to kill us?”

“Or maybe… the end of the ‘Endless Tribulation’ path is a dead end, and every lord who reaches the edge is sent here to be erased by the Milky Way Lord?”

One by one, the terrifying entities vanished with infinite resentment and unwillingness.

Lord Return to Ruin was no exception. Before being completely erased, he detonated his remaining life-saving anchors across other timelines, scattering them as pure resentment and obsession.

These traces couldn't revive him—but they could carry a message, a warning to future lords—

“...Don't go! Whatever you do, don't go!!!”

The slaughter continued. Lord Wanwei, still dazed in a corner of the battlefield, faintly heard the dying curses and laments of the others.

“The Supreme Rule set down this tribulation?”

“The Endless Tribulation path is a dead end?”

“All final tribulations lead the tribulation-taker here?”

Wanwei’s soul trembled. He thought of himself—if he continued down the Endless Tribulation path, would he too have to face that figure seated atop all of time?

Buzz buzz buzz— The formless aura continued to spread, finally sweeping over Wanwei's corner of the battlefield.

Wanwei gave a bitter smile—he couldn’t even muster despair.

And he had been worrying about the future?

From what he’d just seen, anyone touched by that aura was utterly erased. Wanwei, having stumbled into this space and been cut off from his origin timeline, knew his fate was sealed.

He would vanish here, just like the others.

“Maybe it's better this way.”

“Dying later or now makes no difference.”

Wanwei's thoughts churned. If he was destined to face that being in the future, he’d rather be erased now than suffer again later.

He did not want to walk into this space again.

Just then—

Lin Yuan, seated atop time and space, seemed to sense something. He glanced down at a corner of the battlefield.

Looking upon the frozen Lord Wanwei, Lin Yuan instantly understood why he was here.

With Wanwei's level of strength, he wasn’t qualified to be summoned by the Supreme Rule Dao Will to oppose him.

“Accidentally fell into this time-space?”

Lin Yuan immediately grasped the situation.

In fact, he had once benefited from Wanwei’s timeline—so he wouldn’t act against him. Instead, he gently summoned a wisp of power to return Wanwei to his original timeline.

At that moment—

The formless aura sweeping toward Wanwei dissipated.

And the prison-like time-space—sealed from all exit—was quietly torn open.

A gentle force wrapped around Lord Wanwei, pulling him into the tear and far away from this dimension.

The slaughter continued.

The entire Infinite Dimensional Multiverse had become Lin Yuan’s killing ground.

Every legendary lord of the current timeline who had participated in the assault was being wiped out.

They had used any means necessary to threaten him—so he had no need to hold back.

“What’s going on?”

“Why are all the legendary lords dying?”

The remaining lords were parched with fear. Over ninety percent of the hundred-million-tribulation lords in this timeline had joined in trying to stop the Milky Way Lord’s ascent up the White Jade Steps.

But a cautious ten percent had abstained—and unknowingly avoided this calamity.

“Milky Way... Has the Milky Way Lord transcended?”

“Those terrifying beings from other timelines—they’ve survived over three hundred million tribulations, some nearly at the very end of the path—and they were all completely annihilated?”

“Too terrifying.”

“If this isn’t transcendence, then what is?”

From a distance, many legendary lords watched the massacre unfold, their hearts filled with awe and fear.

“So this is the Milky Way…”

The Violet Light Lord swallowed hard. He recalled the scene from Wanwei's timeline, where Lin Yuan had summoned a future self.

That image showed an endless White Jade Stairway—with only one figure ascending: Lin Yuan of the future.

“So... I had already seen the end of this tribulation,” the Violet Light Lord murmured.

At that time, Lin Yuan's future self had still been climbing, unimpeded.

Meaning this tribulation—the attempt to stop his climb—was doomed to fail from the start.

But no one had expected it to fail in such a brutal fashion.

Every participating lord, without exception, had been completely annihilated.

“Milky Way…”

In a remote location, the twelve-eyed beast who ran the Time-Space Shop also watched.

It wasn’t even a legendary lord, and could barely perceive the battle, but it still sensed that all the terrifying beings and legendary lords who had attacked had been crushed by the Milky Way Lord.

Too many had died—just the current timeline alone had lost over ten thousand legendary lords who had passed a hundred million tribulations.

Ten thousand legendary lords…

That was the accumulation of countless ages, all wiped out in Lin Yuan’s purge.

Those who watched from afar were untouched, but no less terrified. For the legendary lords of this era, a dark age was beginning.

They had witnessed it with their own eyes—once-mighty lords falling like ants, slaughter flooding all of heaven and earth.

Time passed.

To completely wipe out every participating legendary lord, Lin Yuan spent several days slaughtering.

The greatest challenge was the terrifying entities from other timelines. Their life-saving methods were simply too numerous. Even with the overwhelming power of the new Dao formed from the five Chaos Origin Daos, tracking and eliminating every method took effort—especially those that involved the mind, where even a single living being remembering their name could serve as an anchor for their return.

Lin Yuan had to expend considerable effort to eliminate those anchors.

But it was only effort. After a few days, the slaughter was complete.

“Disperse.”

With a thought, the time-space that had been sealed like a prison was released.

Maintaining such a seal had been draining—even for him. Now that the battle was over, there was no need to sustain it.

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan glanced toward the Infinite Dimensional Multiverse.

More precisely, he looked toward the Supreme Rule Dao Will that ran through it all.

RUMMMMBLE— The Supreme Rule Dao Will stirred—then quickly receded.

It was not a sentient being, but a force that upheld the infinite dimensional order. It had no thoughts, no consciousness. It could not act against an individual directly.

Even now, with Lin Yuan climbing the White Jade Steps, the Supreme Rule Dao Will had never struck him. Instead, it had summoned the strongest lords from other timelines.

“It doesn't want a transcendent being to arise in the Infinite Dimensional Multiverse... The Endless Tribulation path likely doesn’t lead to true transcendence.”

Lin Yuan was nearly certain.

The Endless Tribulations originated from the Supreme Rule Dao Will. If it did not want a transcendent to appear, then that path could never lead to transcendence.

Whoosh!

Lin Yuan flipped his right hand.

The Chaos Void reappeared in its original place.

He took a step and returned to the Chaos Void.

“Milky Way.”

“Milky Way.”

“Milky Way.”

Mo-Xu-Jun and the other time-beings watched Lin Yuan appear not far away, their expressions filled with both shock and reverence.

Though Lin Yuan had stored the Chaos Void inside his inner universe, and only now released it...

Mo-Xu-Jun and the others had left avatars outside, between the cracks of space-time.

The battle between the Milky Way Lord, over five hundred terrifying entities from other timelines, and ten thousand legendary lords of the current timeline—how could they not sense the aftermath?

Even beings of the first realm of time could detect the echoes of that war.

“It’s all over.”

Lin Yuan nodded toward Mo-Xu-Jun and the others.

“All over?”

Mo-Xu-Jun and the others exchanged glances, scalp tingling.

Before the Chaos Void was stored, they had felt the pressure of the approaching enemies. And now, all those terrifying beings were... gone?

“Milky Way, those enemies…”

Rahu asked hesitantly.

He already had suspicions. And because of Lin Yuan, he’d made contact with some time-lords who’d shared almost unbelievable information.

“All dead.”

Lin Yuan glanced at Rahu and said casually, “Completely dead.”

At those words—

Mo-Xu-Jun and the others were struck with a strange sense of confusion.

They had all prepared to die—prepared to erase themselves to prevent enemies from threatening Lin Yuan.

But now, it was the enemies who had all been wiped out.

A long while later—

Mo-Xu-Jun composed himself and couldn't help but ask, “Milky Way… have you transcended?”

The other time-beings of the Chaos Void perked up.

They all wanted to know the answer.

In fact, so did all the remaining legendary lords in the Infinite Dimensional Multiverse.

Though many guessed that the Milky Way Lord had transcended, it was still just speculation.

“Transcended?”

Lin Yuan’s expression remained calm. He didn’t answer directly.

Instead, he looked beyond the Chaos Void, to the infinite dimensional heights.

It was as if he were watching his true self still climbing the White Jade Steps. Having comprehended the final Chaos Origin Dao, Lin Yuan had undergone a complete transformation. Even after days of slaughter, his true body had never stopped ascending.

He looked back at Mo-Xu-Jun and the others and smiled faintly.

Then he gave his answer:

“On the path.”
