425: Chapter 416 The Sixth Incarnation: The Celestial Venerable (104)

Xu Yuan's calm words were like the gentlest wind, yet they carried a kind of unquestionable, absolute meaning—as if expounding the ultimate truths of heaven and earth—clearly echoing within the Void Realm that was filled with the light of the "throne of the dao" and the Dao Monarch of Destiny's wild words.

This simple sentence was like an invisible yet razor-sharp key, suddenly puncturing the Dao Monarch of Destiny's illusory bubble of self-confidence, which had expanded to the extreme due to his skyrocketing power!

The wild laughter and killing intent on the Dao Monarch of Destiny's face instantly froze.

In those gray eyes, which seemed to carry the light of thousands of Great Dao runes, a trace of confusion and... unease appeared for the first time.

This unease did not stem from the content of Xu Yuan's words, but from... his own resonance with the throne and the vast Dao Rhyme madly surging into his body, which seemed to... stagnate for a split second the moment Xu Yuan spoke those words?

No, it's impossible!

It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!

The Dao Monarch of Destiny forcibly suppressed the sudden palpitation that had flashed through his heart and caused him extreme unease, and his eyes were once again filled with madness and obsession.

In a hoarse voice, the Dao Monarch of Destiny said, "Nonsense! Bluffing! I am already seated upon the throne, ten thousand daos pay homage, and Soul Transformation is imminent! You..."

The next moment, his words came to an abrupt halt.

Because, while he was speaking, Xu Yuan's naturally hanging right hand had already made a gentle beckoning gesture toward the void.

There was no world-shaking Aura eruption, no brilliant divine light blooming, and even the most basic mana fluctuations were minimal.

However—

Under Xu Yuan's casual gesture, heaven and earth changed.

Buzz—!!!

The River of Ten Thousand Daos Resonance and the River of Ten Thousand Treasures, which had been quietly flowing and humming beside Xu Yuan, at this moment seemed to receive a monarch's call, letting out unprecedented sounds of cheering and worship that shook the heavens and all worlds!

It wasn't just these two rivers!

Centered on the point where Xu Yuan stood, from the infinite heights, the endless depths, all directions, and the past and future...

All manifestations of the "Dao", the source of all Laws, and all tangible and intangible rules and concepts seemed to awaken from the deepest slumber, responding to his call from the most fundamental level!

Within the Void Realm, endless brilliant light emerged out of thin air!

It was not a single light, but an ocean of light and a torrent of Dao, woven from an infinite variety of colors and forms of Great Dao runes, Law chains, and Origin Aura!

The Yin and Yang Qi transformed into black and white fish, circling head-to-tail to evolve into the Taiji!

The light of the Five Elements rotated incessantly, generating and overcoming each other to build the world's Foundation!

The phantom of the River of Time and Space emerged, where the past and future seemed to converge at this moment!

Threads of Karma interlaced, weaving an invisible web of destiny!

The Power of Creation and the Aura of Destruction emerged alternately, enacting the cycle of life and death!

The sharp edge of the Dao of the Sword, the overbearing intent of the Saber Dao, the solitary desolation of the Dao of the Spear, and the ultimate rigidity of the Dao of the Fist... thousands of Divine Intents of the Way of Weapons manifested, humming incessantly!

The dense mist of the Dao of Alchemy, the mystery of the Dao of Formations, the miraculousness of the Dao of Talismans, and the spiritual light of the Dao of Artifacts... various miscellaneous studies and profound principles presented themselves, each showing their prowess!

Throughout the heavens and all worlds, from ancient times to the present, all "Dao" and "principles" that have existed, currently exist, or could possibly exist, responded to Xu Yuan's gentle gesture in their most original, pure, and glorious states, manifesting from nothingness, gathering from time and space, flowing toward him, coming to pay homage, and coming to surrender!

This was the true Ten Thousand Daos Paying Homage!

It was a Supreme recognition and worship originating from the Great Dao's Origin, transcending all Divine Abilities, all mana, and all Realms!

That vast and endless, brilliantly boundless torrent of the Great Dao madly converged, compressed, interlaced, and condensed above Xu Yuan's head, at a higher and more central point than the Dao Monarch of Destiny's "throne of the dao"!

They intertwined and resonated with each other, following a Supreme, perfectly harmonious rhythm to build, shape, and manifest!

The light grew brighter, the Dao Rhyme grew thicker, and an indescribable, ineffable Supreme Aura that stood above all else—as if it were the source, destination, and "King" of all "Dao"—began to spread!

In the reflection of the Dao Monarch of Destiny's suddenly constricted gray eyes, which were filled with unparalleled shock and disbelief, and in the perception of the Nine Ancient Venerables, who had almost stopped thinking and were left with only pure awe and confusion—

A true "throne of the dao," whose brilliance could not be described even in part and whose entire body seemed to be condensed directly from the purest, most original, and most brilliant "Dao" and "principles," slowly took shape and descended behind Xu Yuan!

This throne was ancient and majestic in its design, as if it carried the weight of the heavens and all worlds; every dao pattern upon it was the ultimate manifestation of a Great Dao, and every ray of light it emitted contained world-shattering power!

Simply by floating there quietly, it naturally became the center of the entire universe, the source of ten thousand daos, and the final destination for the worship of all Laws!

And Xu Yuan stood before this Supreme "throne of the dao," which was spontaneously formed by the interlacing, resonance, and worship of ten thousand daos, representing the recognition and surrender of the Great Dao itself.

Xu Yuan's figure remained ordinary, his green robes remained simple, and his face remained plain.

But at this moment, against the backdrop of that true "throne of the dao" that connected heaven and earth and was condensed from the manifestation of ten thousand daos, he appeared incomparably tall, majestic, and profound!

It was as if he were the center guarded by ten thousand daos, the Supreme worshiped by the heavens, and the manifestation of the "Dao" itself in the mortal world!

Compared to the true, brilliantly radiant "throne of the dao" behind him, which was formed by the spontaneous convergence and worship of ten thousand daos—

The "throne of the dao" beneath the Dao Monarch of Destiny, which had previously seemed grand and brilliant with vast Dao Rhyme, making him feel self-satisfied and believe he had reached the heavens in one step...

At this moment, it appeared so dim, so flimsy, and so... fake.

Like a ridiculous, crude, and clumsy imitation, it exposed all its paleness and weakness before the true Supreme throne personally "crowned" by the Great Dao's Origin!

The Dao Monarch of Destiny was stunned.

He sat stiffly on that "throne" whose light had already dimmed and whose Dao Rhyme was becoming unstable, looking up at the true "throne of the dao" behind Xu Yuan that commanded the worship of ten thousand daos and made his very Soul tremble, then looking down at his own "throne" that seemed like its radiance would dissipate at any moment and even faintly conveyed a sense of rejection; his face instantly lost all color, becoming as pale as paper.

destiny's gray eyes, which were previously filled with wild joy, majesty, and killing intent, were now left with only boundless dullness and confusion, as well as a kind of...

Cold, bone-piercing...

Despair, from having suddenly fallen from the clouds into an endless abyss.
