Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 592 The Great Luo, A Fortuitous Encounter

Upon catching sight of the old man before him, the projection of the Time Dao Ancestor, Wu Hui, showed no emotion whatsoever.

"A rat from the gutter, actually deigning to come out today? It seems that person is once again the only hope for you remnants?"

Wen Shao shook his head:

"It's not that I hope for anything, nor am I a remnant of the Underworld. My actions are merely to fulfill a promise."

Wu Hui simply ignored the latter's words.
"Enough. No matter what your origins are, I have no interest in you petty villains."

"Today I intend to strike down my enemy. Since you are blocking my way, you may come along with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless threads of law immediately spread out from his robes.

In an instant, it covered the surrounding void, sealing off the space and imprisoning Wen Shao within it.

Then several threads of time transformed into long spears, surging towards Wen Shao from all directions.

Before the latter could even react, its decaying body was pierced by the threads of law, instantly corroding and turning into a handful of dust.

Only half of the Reincarnation Disc remains in place.

Wu Hui still wanted to retrieve that half of the Wheel of Reincarnation.

Unexpectedly, the thread of the law of time passed through, as if piercing through a bubble.

Wu Hui suddenly looked up and saw that a Reincarnation Disc had appeared above his head at some unknown time. It was half real and half illusory, like a parasol completely covering Wu Hui.

Behind the Wheel of Reincarnation, a young child appeared, his face fair and tender, but his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life.

With a pair of fleshy palms moving, the Reincarnation Disc rotates like a millstone, pressing down in sync.

It seemed as if the projection of no return was to be completely erased here.

"Little tricks!"

Wu Hui wore a mocking expression, slowly raised his finger, and the power of the law condensed and swirled between his fingers, resembling a drill, which shot out at high speed like a bullet.

It came into contact with the center of the Reincarnation Disc, and the two collided violently, the aftershocks stirring up their robes.

The Wheel of Reincarnation trembled incessantly, and a clanging, trembling sound came from the wheel and from between the teeth of the young boy, Wen Shao.

If he persisted for even a moment, the illusory half of the Reincarnation Disc immediately shattered, leaving only the remaining half flying backward, smashing Wen Shao into the sky.

Wen Shao was struck hard and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood fell into the air and quickly turned dark and rotten. Then it expanded and transformed into a phoenix of hellfire, which raised its head and swallowed Wu Hui whole.

Wen Shao landed upright, looked ahead, and showed no joy on his face.

Suddenly, a silver line appeared on the body of the Netherfire Phoenix, instantly cutting it in two.

The projection of Wu Hui walked out of it, without even a tear in the hem of its clothes.

"The power of the Time Dao Ancestor, even as a projection, is indeed far superior to those trash."

Wen Shao sighed, his eyes focused, and he gripped the half of the Reincarnation Disc tightly...

Kyushu Boundary
Wei Zhong's projection grew larger and larger until it completely covered the entire Nine Provinces Realm.

Only at this moment did the Nine Provinces truly become the "lotus platform" beneath Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong's aura had become solid and had reached its peak.

It suddenly opened its eyes, divine light flashing within them, various laws intertwining and converging into a primordial light.

Once fired, it instantly annihilated a large number of void creatures, and also pierced through the tidal phenomena created by them.

Murong Liyang looked at the void ravine beside him, his body trembling uncontrollably, whether from fear or excitement, it was hard to tell.

He tried to move, but found his body stiff and unable to move.

Until Wei Zhong's voice transmission reached:

"I have advanced to a higher level, and this place is fraught with danger. Fellow Daoist Murong, you should leave here."

Murong Liyang felt a sense of relief throughout his body. He then bowed in the direction of Wei Zhong's projection and flew away along the void ravine beside him.

Wei Zhong then looked up at the sky, where the projection of the River of Laws was located.

"The paths of Xuanxian, Taiyi, and Daluo are divergent."

"The three paths to immortality: human immortal, earth immortal, and celestial immortal."

"I have been on the path of human immortals for a long time now. I am merely borrowing the fortune of this world to pretend to walk the path of earth immortals and practice the path of human immortals."

"Besides that, there are celestial beings..."

Wei Zhong's eyes shone with layers of law-based brilliance, and the projection of the long river of laws seemed to resonate with Wei Zhong, its light flashing.

"As long as I choose the path of the Long River, I can become a Celestial Immortal. Within the Immortal Realm, I will enjoy the blessing of the Long River's power, and in terms of combat strength, I will be several levels stronger than ordinary Earth Immortals and Human Immortals."

"The important thing is that it is stronger than a human immortal, but it is not limited by the spiritual land like an earth immortal..."

"Indeed extremely tempting, but unfortunately..."

"I am no ordinary immortal."

Wei Zhong had already made up his mind about his future path.

Looking up at the long river projection in the sky, the enormous immortal being rose from the Nine Provinces Realm.

"The only path now is to become a human immortal."

"A human immortal is one who absorbs the great power of heaven and earth into himself."

"The Taiyi Realm is the contemporary projection of the laws, while the Daluo Realm is the laws themselves."

"Human Immortals and Great Immortals refine the laws to achieve the Great Dao."

"This long river projection should serve as nourishment for my Great Dao."

Wei Zhong stretched out his palm and grabbed the projection of the long river.

The latter seemed to possess some kind of instinct, sensing Wei Zhong's ill intentions, and thus retreated. At the same time, the projection of the long river gradually became illusory, about to disappear from this realm.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhong smiled slightly, and the various laws within his body began to stir.

Each of these laws acts as an anchor point, resonating with the long river. There seems to be an invisible chain connecting the two, pulling the long river back from illusion to reality.

If Wei Zhong had only cultivated one law power, he might have let the River of Laws escape. However, Wei Zhong cultivated the Primordial Chaos Method and the Life Essence Refining Technique.

They followed the path of all methods.

One chain of laws is easy to break, and so are two, three...

However, Wei Zhong was pulling on thousands upon thousands of threads.

Such a large number immediately prevented the projection of the River of Laws from escaping.

Wei Zhong pulled him close, and with both hands he tried to knead the entire projection of the long river into a dough and stuff it into his mouth.

The River of Laws resisted fiercely, tearing several cuts in Wei Zhong's palm.

However, this projection was also made of the power of laws, and it was instantly healed by Wei Zhong's power of laws.

After kneading for a long time, the tenacity of the River of Laws far exceeded Wei Zhong's expectations.

He frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally sighed.

"I can't swallow it, I can't swallow it..."

"In that case..."

Wei Zhonghua transformed his palm into a blade, and the laws beneath the palm blade were stacked and compressed, forming densely arranged serrations.

Wei Zhong used his palm as a saw, pressed it against the middle of the long river, and was about to cut off half of it.

Unexpectedly, the River of Laws struggled even more violently at this moment, almost breaking free from Wei Zhong's palm.

Wei Zhong sighed again:
"Fine, fine, how about we take thirty percent of yours?"

Seemingly understanding Wei Zhong's meaning, the River of Laws' struggle suddenly weakened.

Wei Zhong moved the saw to the right, placing it at the 30% position, rubbed it up and down, and started sawing.

The laws collided constantly, producing a chilling friction sound.

One after another, the long rivers of laws were ruthlessly sliced ​​apart by Wei Zhong.

The low-position rule is fast, the high-position rule is slow.

A series of snapping sounds rang out, the sound of the saw teeth breaking under Wei Zhong's palm.

Fortunately, this saw was formed from the power of laws, so if the saw teeth broke, they could be repaired using its own laws.

Wei Zhong, who enjoys the power of a single world within the Middle Thousand Worlds, currently has an inexhaustible supply of laws within his body.

There is absolutely no risk of depletion.

Wei Zhong struggled to cut, when suddenly the Rebirth Mirror inside his body activated on its own, projecting a scene of fighting.

The void shattered, and immortal techniques flew incessantly, but Wei Zhong could not see the figures within.

It was as if a thick fog had enveloped and covered it. "Quickly!"

The single word landed on the mirror, making Wei Zhong tense.

Without needing to think too much, Wei Zhong understood the trouble behind it.

"It seems the Celestial Palace is about to make its move!"

Wei Zhong has cultivated for many years, but every time he advances in his cultivation level, he encounters obstacles.

When they are weak, they are subject to strange lightning tribulations; when they are slightly stronger, they are subject to the presence of true spirits from the lower realm or immortals descending to the lower realm.

Even after ascending to the celestial realm, troubles continued to arise.

When he was promoted to Taiyi, he was almost killed by a single glance from the Dao Ancestor.

Now that he intends to break through to the Great Luo realm, apart from the weak void tide, there seems to be no other trouble around him.

But now it seems that there was no trouble at all; someone had clearly shielded Wei Zhong from the trouble.

I wonder what kind of extraordinary person could possibly be able to block the Immortal Palace, or even possibly the Dao Ancestor.

Knowing that the other side couldn't hold out for long, Wei Zhong quickly sped up his actions.

The power of the laws was mobilized exponentially, and Wei Zhong's palm saw expanded, greatly increasing its cutting speed.

The river of laws kept breaking under Wei Zhong's palm.

As they pushed the saw back and forth, time continued to pass.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Zhong looked tired, and even his own divine projection became blurry.

"Another point!"

Wei Zhong looked at the fracture point in the projection of the River of Laws.

Most of the long river was cut off by Wei Zhong, leaving only a few high-level law rivers.

Time, space, calamity, fate, reincarnation...

Etc., etc……

Wei Zhong activated the power of time within his body, and the river of time wore him down, resolving the issue in a short time.

The same applies to the long river of space and the long river of calamities.

The River of Fortune encountered some trouble, but as soon as Da Jin activated his power, Wei Zhong's Law of Fortune was immediately strengthened, and it was cleanly severed.

The other rivers also broke apart one after another under Wei Zhong's power, leaving only the last River of Reincarnation intact.

No matter how Wei Zhong tried to cut him, he couldn't cut him off.

"How could this happen?"

When it comes to the laws of high positions and the way of reincarnation, these are indeed Wei Zhong's weaknesses.

The power of time and space were the pillars that enabled Wei Zhong to become a Taiyi Jade Immortal. Wei Zhong also mastered the other Great Daos for a long time.

The path of reincarnation, however, is the weakest, as it is understood only from the Mirror of Rebirth.

This weakness has now become the biggest obstacle to Wei Zhong's advancement to the Great Luo realm.

Wei Zhong struggled to saw and slash, but the latter remained as still as steel, completely unmoved.

As time dwindled, a thought popped into Wei Zhong's mind:
"Should we just give up on the path of reincarnation?"

The moment this thought arose, Wei Zhong shook his head violently to extinguish it.

"No, absolutely impossible!"
"There's always a way out. Can I really be stopped by a mere cycle of reincarnation?"

Wei Zhong's consciousness surged as he pondered:

"Blessed by the power of the Great Jin Dynasty's fortune, the cycle of reincarnation merges with all paths, or perhaps it stimulates the power of life essence..."

Wei Zhong tried every method he could think of.

The result, however, filled Wei Zhong with utter despair. Gazing at the unmoving River of Reincarnation, Wei Zhong murmured:
"Could it be that reincarnation... requires reincarnation to resolve?"

Wei Zhong lowered his head, and the light of the Law of Reincarnation flickered in front of him.

Nearby, a black light flashed, and the Mirror of Rebirth appeared.

"Although this mirror is only a half-step sacred item, there are some strange things inside."

Looking at the blurry projection on the mirror and the gradually distorting character "速" (speed) in the lower right corner.

Wei Zhong hardened his heart and squeezed the Mirror of Rebirth into his palm.

The myriad laws erupted, like a millstone turning them into a whirlwind, leaving only a mark of reincarnation within them.

Wei Zhong combined it with his own laws of reincarnation, and the two transformed into a large sword, which he then slashed down.

When the River of Reincarnation came into contact with the blade, it immediately emitted an irregular trembling sound.

The waves surged and then broke apart.

At the moment Wei Zhong destroyed the Mirror of Rebirth, both Wu Hui and Wen Shao, who were in the midst of battle, paused.

The half of the Reincarnation Disc in Wen Shao's hand suddenly trembled, then returned to calm.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by horror.

The projection of Wu Hui then took out the other half of the Reincarnation Disc from somewhere.

The celestial patterns on it are outlined, and starlight occasionally shines through, resembling a star map.

The star chart flickered, and then all went out at once.

The projection of Wu Hui showed a hint of annoyance and cursed:

"Cunning boy!"

His tone was light and casual, but Wen Shao's junior was sweating profusely.
'That was close, that was close...'

He originally intended to help Wei Zhong, but unexpectedly almost sent him into the tiger's den.

Thanks to Wei Zhong's "wit," the plan that had no chance of return was thwarted.

Little did Wei Zhong know that all of this was a matter of chance; he could never have imagined that the Mirror of Rebirth in his hand would be both a blessing and a curse.

Wei Zhong still regrets destroying the Mirror of Rebirth and thinks he must create a similar immortal artifact in the future.

"Crack!"

Wei Zhong's broadsword broke, but fortunately, the River of Reincarnation also broke.

The complete projection of the River of Laws thus split into two halves, with three-tenths on the right and seven-tenths on the left.

Seventy percent of them wanted to escape, but a large, iron-like hand gripped them tightly:
"After some thought, I believe that 70% is more suitable for me."

The River of Laws struggled fiercely, seemingly cursing Wei Zhong for breaking his promise.

Wei Zhong, however, was extremely firm in his stance, grabbing the object directly in his hand and then tossing the three-year-long river into the air.

This sudden shift from tension to relaxation instantly brought Changhe's bewildered instincts to a standstill.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Zhong clenched the Seven Rivers of History tightly, then tilted his head back and swallowed it.

The light of all laws shone from Wei Zhong's mouth, like an abyss.

Once the long river falls into it, it quickly disappears.

The die was cast, and the three rivers immediately vanished as phantoms.

Before Wei Zhong could capture him, he vanished into the void.

"pity!"

Wei Zhong sighed softly, cleared his throat, and swallowed the River of Laws.

He let out a burp, and a surging wave rose in the void, eliminating all kinds of void anomalies, and the creatures that roamed within it also vanished.

The divine projection of Wei Zhongxian became increasingly dazzling.

Replenished by the River of Laws, Wei Zhong felt as if he had become the very essence of the River of Laws.

A book floated inside Wei Zhong's body, its pages flipping, attempting to completely refine this section of the long river within it.

The latter struggled, but being inside Wei Zhong's body, it couldn't make a ripple.

After examining his divine body, Wei Zhongxian knew that he was destined to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After glancing at the empty void and remembering the threat posed by the Immortal Palace, Wei Zhong grabbed towards the Nine Provinces Realm.

The Void Bracelet was placed on his wrist, containing a mustard seed within Mount Sumeru, and the Nine Provinces transformed into a small island that fell into Wei Zhong's palm.

Tearing through the void, Wei Zhong entered the Boundary River and disappeared.

All that remains is an empty void behind.
