But no matter how you put it, Dao Zhun's actions could definitely be described as earth-shattering and shocking, and breaking his own Law was akin to committing suicide. Regardless of whether Dao Zhun could succeed this ti or not, his downfall was inevitable. Even at his peak, shattering his own Law wouldn't kill him but would still result in a severe decline in Cultivation and serious injuries. Moreover, Dao Zhun first exhausted the Cultivation of most people with that mystical technique during his confrontation with the Annihilation Demon Nation and then sent them away, which had already reduced his power from the Domain Lord Peak to the Interdiate Grade Domain Lord.
Although Dao Zhun didn't show it, the forceful decline in his Cultivation by an entire Minor Realm inflicted significant trauma on him. He simply hadn't shown it. Later, to avoid the self-destruction of the World Suppressing Stele from the Annihilation Demon Nation, Dao Zhun had self-destructed a low-grade Domain Instrunt as well. This Domain Instrunt, despite being low-grade, was connected to Dao Zhun's spirit, causing him to sustain further injuries. By the ti he reached the stronghold of the Underworld God Army, in a last-ditch effort to break out, the tri-colored Light Barrier contained the might of the Underworld God Army's combined Unique Skill, so Dao Zhun was injured yet again.
Luckily for Dao Zhun, with a profound foundation, he didn't suffer too much damage after several instances of injury. Not until he was directly hit by the Thunder Fire Scorching Fla Cannon. This strike not only injured Dao Zhun but also triggered the injuries he had been suppressing. All of his wounds burst forth at once, leaving Dao Zhun hanging by a thread. Had it not been for Ye Zi continuously using her own Life Force to keep Dao Zhun alive, he would have probably perished at that mont.
After the revival of the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, Dao Zhun felt the threat it posed and once again stepped forward. This ti, he burned the remainder of his Life Force to gain the power necessary to seal the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent. Xi Zhao had ntioned before that to seal the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, the sealer's power must greatly surpass that of the serpent. The Patrolling Celestial World's super Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent was definitely at the Heavenly Venerate's strength, so at that mont, the power Dao Zhun unleashed was very close to his original strength. However, that was just a montary eruption. Moreover, Dao Zhun concentrated all his power on sealing the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, otherwise, it would certainly have drawn the attention of the Law Enforcers and the Cosmic Rules.
The remaining seven Law Enforcers were all at the Heavenly Venerate's Peak. Even the Heavenly Patroller and several others were super-powerful beings with one foot out of the Heavenly Venerate Realm. So, had the Cosmic Rules detected that Dao Zhun's power had surpassed the Heavenly Venerate's, they might have directly cast him out of this universe. Hence, Dao Zhun's previous actions were truly a gamble with his life. As everyone watched on, dumbfounded, Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes.
As he did so, two streams of bloody tears were already rolling down his eyes. If Zhibei's loss of an arm to block Xi Zhao's attack for him had moved him, then Xing Dian sacrificing his life to shield him from a certain fatal blow filled Sun Wukong with guilt and pain. As for his master Dao Zhun's current actions, they left Sun Wukong utterly heartbroken. When he awoke, the ninth Law of his forehead, the Ti Law, had already successfully condensed.
There was no earth-shattering might when his ninth Law, the Ti Law, silently ford, and not only did it recover Sun Wukong's Divine Consciousness, but it also made him a true Nine Patterns Supre. He was a genuine Nine Patterns Supre, both in strength and Realm. If Sun Wukong now were to trigger the Five Elents Power inside his body and forcibly reach the strength of the Heavenly Venerate, he could maintain it much longer than before. However, the increase in strength and the absorption of the ninth Law brought no joy to Sun Wukong's heart. On the contrary, Sun Wukong was in extre pain at this mont.
If not for the extre pain, how could he shed bloody tears?
At that mont, within Sun Wukong's mind, a very kind yet exceedingly weary voice rang out. Naturally, it was Dao Zhun's. "Wukong, your master has so things to say now. You need to listen quietly and rember well. Do not grieve; all this is Master's own choice. When you reach Master's age, you will understand – it is better than living a lingering, wretched life to pave a broader and easier path for the younger generation. So, you must not be sad. Alright, the next things I have to say are very important. Listen well."
Having said that, Dao Zhun's voice paused, seemingly waiting for Sun Wukong to calm down. Perhaps this was the only chance for Dao Zhun, there were things he must say to Sun Wukong personally, this disciple whom he had only t recently but was most satisfied with. Although Sun Wukong was so hurt that he could hardly breathe, after listening to Dao Zhun's words, he forcibly suppressed his sadness, nodded his head, and collected his thoughts.
"You truly are the disciple I value the most, Wukong," said Dao Zhun. "Previously, you existed in a state where you were missing one of the Cosmic Laws—a fact you are well aware of. Furthermore, you should also know that with only Eight Cosmic Laws, you could never beco the Nine Patterns Supre, much less ascend to higher levels. Just now, your master has completed your ninth Cosmic Law; feel it for yourself. Now, you are truly a Nine Patterns Supre. Once you fully integrate these Nine Laws, you will beco a Domain Lord. Moreover, Wukong, you should note that in a while, your master will manipulate your Divine Sense to continue absorbing at least three more Cosmic Laws. However, these three Cosmic Laws will be sealed within the deepest part of you. Only when your strength reaches a certain critical point will my seal release these at least three Cosmic Laws corresponding to your state, allowing you to absorb them and elevate yourself to even higher levels."
At this point, Dao Zhun's voice bore a heavier tone of exhaustion. Sun Wukong had long been unable to hold back his tears, although his eyes no longer shed bloody tears. After a pause, Dao Zhun spoke again, "Wukong, your master has done all that he could. Now, the two crucial keys to the Supre Path lay in your hands. Whether you can make it to that gate depends on you, but your master has faith in you. Additionally, I have fully passed on my small world to you. When you have ti, you can familiarize yourself with it. Inside, there's also a big fellow—that body likely belongs to the Underworld Venerate, secretly resurrected by the Underworld God Army. It should be of help to you in the future. Also, always rember that the Fangcun Spirit Realm is your strongest support. Although the Domain Lord of the Fangcun Spirit Realm is Dongsheng, rest assured, I will tell Ling Yi everything. If you ever need anything, just go to the Fangcun Spirit Realm."
"One does get more talkative with age. It feels like there's still so much I haven't told you. Alas, Wukong, you are your master's pride. I hope that you can truly reach the end of the Supre Path. Perhaps by then, even your master might have a chance at resurrection!" After these words, Dao Zhun's voice disappeared. Throughout, Sun Wukong hadn't said a word, hadn't managed to call out "Master" one last ti, hadn't said goodbye, and hadn't even managed to express his gratitude. Although Dao Zhun did not need these things.
At that mont, Sun Wukong suddenly felt utterly useless, as if he were a jinx, a harbinger of death. In his vicinity, friends and family would always die—so for him, others because of him. Perhaps his very existence and appearance were a mistake, one that led to the deaths of so many people.
Just as Sun Wukong's internal agony was about to turn into a demon, a jolt coursed through him. Following the completion of absorbing the Ti Law, Sun Wukong began absorbing the tenth Law. However, he couldn't discern what this Law specifically was, as it vanished imdiately upon absorption, eluding his perception.
Because this tenth Law didn't manifest after absorption, Sun Wukong absorbed it much faster than the ninth. Once the tenth Law was complete, the eleventh was next. When the tenth Law was fully absorbed, provided his cultivation could keep up, Sun Wukong would surely reach the peak of the Heavenly Venerate Realm. The eleventh Law was quickly absorbed, and by then, Sun Wukong had already acquired the qualifications and potential that exceeded those of a Heavenly Venerate.
After the absorption of the eleventh Law, Sun Wukong felt a brief pause, but then it continued—the twelfth Law began to be absorbed.
It took much longer to absorb this twelfth Law compared to the previous two, but without any surprises, it was successfully absorbed. At this point, Sun Wukong had the qualifications and abilities to reach the end of the Supre Path. Just when Sun Wukong thought it was over, the pulling force hesitated a mont before starting to absorb again—the thirteenth Cosmic Law!
If Sun Wukong successfully absorbed this thirteenth Law, even Dao Zhun wouldn't know what heights of achievent Sun Wukong's future held. (To be continued.
