501: The founder of Taoism emerges from seclusion

Seeing that Xie Nanqiao's offensive was fierce, Bai Guang knew he could not underestimate her. He immediately activated the spirit wood leaf, concentrating the vast majority of its power on defending against Xie Nanqiao's fierce attacks.

Consequently, he had no time to attend to others.

In an instant, Xie Nanqiao's sword moves fell like raindrops. Although Bai Guang resisted with all his might, he was still forced to retreat step by step, clearly at a disadvantage.

Ye Mao's mouth curled into a sinister grin, his cold gaze locked onto Xun Xiuyuan, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect a junior like you to have such strong power; it actually surprises me a little. Today, I will properly face you and let you witness true power."

If it were the Ye Mao of the past, Xun Xiuyuan might have been able to handle him easily, but his opponent at this moment was no longer the original person.

However, the one currently controlling Ye Mao's Physical Body was the Supreme Realm Peak expert, Kun Xu.

Despite being limited by the Physical Body, Kun Xu could only unleash ninety percent of his power. However, his rich combat experience and exquisite use of the Law made this ninety percent far superior to Ye Mao's original self, with astonishing power.

Xun Xiuyuan frowned, sighing inwardly that the gap between the Hongmeng Realm and the Supreme Realm was truly like a chasm.

Coupled with the fact that his Five Elements Law had not yet formed a closed loop, he was unable to exert its maximum power, causing his combat strength to be greatly discounted.

Although he relied on his formidable physique to struggle and hold on, he was far inferior to his opponent in the exquisite application of the Law, and he was constrained at every turn.

The spirit of the myriad things cauldron sensed the urgent summons of its main body. As soon as Xun Xiuyuan arrived in the Blue Star Universe, it had quietly broken free from his control, transforming into a ray of spiritual light and speeding towards the direction of Blue Star.

While traveling through the vast Void Realm, the spirit avoided many spatial-temporal turbulences and accelerated forward.

Just as energy surged in the Void Realm and a great battle broke out, the spirit arrived in time beside the myriad things cauldron and instantly merged into the cauldron. The cauldron's body suddenly radiated light, its power surging as if it had been reborn.

Coincidentally, if it weren't for Xun Xiuyuan and Xie Nanqiao traveling through the Universe at the last critical moment and arriving at Blue Star in time, Ye Mao would probably have already begun refining the myriad things cauldron, attempting to absorb its infinite power.

It was precisely this subtle timing error that caught Ye Mao off guard, leaving him no time to set up a refining Formation, forcing him to deal with the changing situation in haste and miss the opportunity.

The spirit's voice was crisp and distant, as if it had traveled through endless time and space, suddenly ringing out: "Master!"

This voice was filled with excitement and loyalty, echoing deep within the core of Blue Star.

The Dao Law Progenitor, deep within the core of Blue Star, was sitting quietly in a piece of scorching magma, surrounded by ancient Dao patterns.

Upon hearing the spirit's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, a glint of gratification flashing in them, and he laughed heartily: "You have finally returned."

His laughter carried a hint of vicissitudes and anticipation, as if he had been waiting for this moment for ten thousand years.

With the end of this sentence, the myriad things cauldron shook violently. Runes flowed on the cauldron's body, erupting with ten thousand rays of light. That light was dazzling and bright, illuminating the entire core world.

Immediately after, the myriad things cauldron transformed into a stream of light, carrying an invincible Aura, and teleported deep into the underground, its speed so fast that it was difficult to capture.

Ye Mao, no, it should be said Kun Xu, was floating in the outer space of Blue Star, his Aura surging all over his body.

After sensing the drastic changes of the myriad things cauldron inside Blue Star, his expression changed again. He frowned, his eyes revealing shock and unease.

He could clearly feel that powerful energy fluctuation, which far exceeded his expectations.

He knew that something he could not control must have happened.

A sense of urgency welled up in his heart, his thoughts flying, trying to speculate what this sudden change meant, but everything seemed to be beyond his calculations.

After the myriad things cauldron entered the Dao Law Progenitor's glabella, it instantly merged with the core energy within, triggering a violent resonance.

The Dao Law Progenitor sensed all this and stood up immediately. His figure was like lightning, carrying a resolute Aura, and he rushed towards the surface of Blue Star.

His movements were swift, and wherever he passed, the rocks of the core gave way, as if welcoming his return.

This commotion was enormous. Not only did Kun Xu clearly perceive it, but even Bai Guang, who was fighting hard nearby, felt a shock in his heart and vaguely sensed it.

Bai Guang's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted to Ye Mao: "It's the breath of that old thief Dao Law! He has probably come out of seclusion; if we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

At this time, Kun Xu was entangled with Xun Xiuyuan. Although he had the upper hand, and every move was fierce, Xun Xiuyuan defended very steadily, and it was difficult to completely defeat him for a while.

He was originally fighting calmly, intending to slowly wear down the opponent's spirit and then sacrifice the Ling Tian Pagoda at a critical moment to decide the victory in one fell swoop.

However, human plans cannot keep up with heaven's changes. The powerful and familiar Aura of the Dao Law Progenitor suddenly appeared, not only interrupting Xun Xiuyuan's plan but also making Bai Guang and Ye Mao feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing that it was difficult to take down Xun Xiuyuan for a moment, Kun Xu made a decisive decision, feinted a move, and his figure flashed to Bai Guang's side like lightning.

At this time, Bai Guang was besieged by several people, struggling to fend them off, and was in constant danger.

Kun Xu did not hesitate, grabbed Bai Guang, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!"

Their figures suddenly blurred, space fluctuated, and they instantly disappeared from the spot.

Even as strong as Xun Xiuyuan was, although his Divine Sense was fully open and his Laws were fully displayed, he still could not stop them in time and could only watch helplessly as the other party escaped.

After all, a Supreme Realm expert had already comprehended all the main laws, and if they were determined to leave, it was extremely difficult for even someone of the same realm to force them to stay.

Before the Dao Law Progenitor arrived at the battlefield, Kun Xu had already taken Bai Guang and rushed out of the Blue Star Universe at an incredible speed. That speed was as fast as a stream of light or lightning, as if transcending the shackles of time and space, leaving people stunned.

Xun Xiuyuan watched the figures of Bai Guang and his companion disappear into the depths of the Void Realm, then felt a powerful Aura descend, and turning his head, he saw the Dao Law Progenitor stepping through the air.

Although the Dao Law Progenitor was currently incarnated as a young, bald man with a handsome face and faint Dao light flowing around him, Xun Xiuyuan instantly recognized his identity by his familiar silhouette and deep eyes.

The Dao Law Progenitor stood quietly beside Xun Xiuyuan, not speaking immediately, but gazing distantly in the direction where Ye Mao and Bai Guang had left, as if pondering the variables of the Universe.

At the same time, the experts of Blue Star saw this and knelt down in the Void Realm one after another, their voices like waves, shouting in unison: "Welcome, Old Ancestor Dao Law!"

The sound echoed between the stars, filled with incomparable piety and reverence.

The Dao Law Progenitor did not glance at them, but said indifferently to Xun Xiuyuan: "Ye Mao has advanced to the Supreme Realm; this is a big trouble."

His words carried a hint of imperceptible gravity, as if foreshadowing a greater storm.

Xun Xiuyuan was currently deep in regret, thinking that if he had sacrificed the Ling Tian Pagoda earlier, he might have been able to stop Ye Mao's escape and not let the situation become so troublesome.

Just at this moment, a clear voice rang out in Xun Xiuyuan's mind: "Master, Youming says that Ye Mao should have been possessed by Kun Xu, the leader of the Soul Beast Great World, and the current Ye Mao is actually equivalent to a Clone of Kun Xu."
