Primordial Era: Starting with Self-Created Mythical Great Luo Law

The pressure was immense. He exerted all his strength to activate his magic, but the demonic mist grew stronger and stronger, like an endless black raging tide crashing down.

The Jade Emperor could no longer care about Chen Yu; he focused all his attention on locking down the Demon-Refining Pot.

Just then, the shattered black coffin suddenly flung open its lid!

A boy leaped out and stood in mid-air.

He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fiery red hair, a face like jade, and extremely handsome and striking features. His eyes, in particular, were clear as an inverted galaxy, and with just one glance, they seemed capable of stealing a person's soul.

Dressed in black robes that fluttered in the wind, he stood silently in the void, yet seemed to be the center of all things, causing the very energy of heaven and earth to stagnate and submit to him.

"Who are you?" The Jade Emperor's gaze was like lightning, piercing straight at the youth.

The young man's gaze, sharp as a blade, swept across the Jade Emperor's face, then he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and said coldly, "You—are not worthy to ask!"

The Jade Emperor's pupils contracted, his face tightened abruptly, and his anger exploded: "You're courting death!"

"Ha!" A short, sharp whistle burst from the boy's throat, and his body suddenly shot up! His right foot slammed down—

The magical power beneath his feet surged forth like molten lava bursting through the earth's crust, and crimson flames erupted from the soles of his feet, instantly incinerating the void! The entire sky was burned crimson, as if a fiery fiery hole had been torn open in the heavens.

Amidst the raging flames, a colossal fiery cloud descended from the sky! The footprint was as massive as a collapsing mountain, its edges burning with eerie blue flames, and the space around it distorted and the air hissed as it stepped on it.

That was no ordinary flame, but a Purgatory Seal that condensed ten thousand kinds of burning Dao true meanings and contained billions of fire laws—if a saint entered it, he would be turned into ashes in an instant, and even his primordial spirit could not escape being burned for three breaths.

Chen Yu's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them. He recognized the ferocity of the fire; even he wouldn't dare to be reckless and take it head-on.

In a flash, he raised both palms to the sky and unleashed the Thunderclap of the Nine Heavens!

In an instant, the sea of ​​clouds shattered, purple lightning surged wildly, and the thunderclouds outside the nine heavens churned like boiling water. A silver-white lightning bolt, thicker than a water bucket, tore through the sky and struck the giant foot of the fire cloud!

Boom—Crack!

Fire and thunder collided, the explosions were deafening, and crimson light and electric snakes clashed and churned, cracking the void inch by inch, as if the heavens and earth were being ripped apart by a pair of giant hands.

The boy's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately sneered. Instead of retreating, he shook his arms, causing the fire to rise three more times, and he withstood the thunderous impact head-on!

Chen Yu snorted coldly, his body exploding with golden light, and a sixteen-foot-tall golden body rose from the ground!

With the golden wheel in hand, golden light poured down like a waterfall as it spun. The golden radiance crashed into the fire seal, steadily supporting and dissolving the scorching force.

The onlookers were all frozen in place, their throats tightening, and they even forgot to breathe—no one had expected that this young man could actually fight Chen Yu head-on and be evenly matched!

The Jade Emperor was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "Chen Yu has indeed lived up to expectations! With such a talented disciple, what is there to fear from the evil forces?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already raised the Crown of Creation, and the divine light surged like the rising sun. He unleashed his innate divine power and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chen Yu. The two forces combined to firmly suppress the giant foot of the fiery cloud!

The boy's expression darkened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly swallowed up by an even more intense fighting spirit. He gritted his teeth, his throat bobbed, and he actually spat out three ancient bronze coins!

Three coins pierce the air, swift as a shooting star, landing in formation—in an instant, yin and yang flow, and tai chi arises spontaneously!

The copper coins were divided into three parts, subtly locking the aura of the Jade Emperor and Chen Yu, isolating their magical powers from the outside.

"The cycle of Yin and Yang continues endlessly!" the young man roared like thunder.

The Tai Chi symbol suddenly spun, the two fish swam like living creatures, black and white energy swirled wildly, and suddenly burst out with dazzling white light!

Boom—!

Caught off guard, the Jade Emperor and Chen Yu felt an overwhelming force of chaos crash into their chests. Before they could even finish their groans, they were sent flying backwards like kites with broken strings, crashing into several floating stone platforms before barely managing to regain their footing.

The qi and blood surged wildly through the meridians, causing a turbulent upheaval in the internal organs, which only gradually subsided after a long time.

"This lad... he actually possesses such profound hidden power?" The Jade Emperor was both shocked and furious. Suppressing his surging bloodlust, he clasped his hands and turned to the white-robed middle-aged man, his voice trembling slightly: "May I ask, senior... are you the Tongtian Sect Leader?"

The middle-aged man nodded, his voice like a clear spring striking stone: "This humble Taoist is none other than Tongtian."

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly, his eyes unfathomable as he swept across the entire audience, sending chills down everyone's spines and causing them to hold their breath.

His voice was deep and slow, yet each word was sharp and resonant: "You are all disciples of my Jie Sect, and should be of one heart and mind, working together to unravel the mysteries of the universe. Yet now you turn against each other, fighting amongst yourselves. Does this not shake the very foundation upon which my Jie Sect was founded?"

The Jade Emperor and Chen Yu were shocked and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the blue bricks, their voices solemn: "Disciples know their sins and beg Master to punish us."

The Tongtian Sect Leader's gaze was sharp as a blade, fixed on Chen Yu's face for a moment, and his tone was slightly somber: "Chen Yu, you have exceptional talent, and you are my direct disciple who was personally enlightened and taught the true secrets. But cultivation is not only about refining bones and muscles, but also about refining the mind and tempering character—in that battle just now, you won the battle, but you almost lost your true self."

Chen Yu lowered his head and remained silent, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He knew very well that he had been swept up in the exhilaration of defeating his enemy in one move, forgetting to stop, forgetting his sense of proportion, and even forgetting the vow he had made when he knelt before Biyou Palace.

The cult leader turned to look at the red-haired youth, his expression softening slightly, but his voice was like a clear spring striking a stone: "Young man, you have extraordinary strength and astonishing combat power, but in the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is arrogance. If you don't suppress your pride, even the strongest supernatural powers are nothing more than a tower on the sand."

The red-haired youth's expression froze slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes. He had thought he had already entered the ranks of masters, but unexpectedly, the phrase "high tower on the sand" seemed to puncture all his vain confidence.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Tongtian Sect Leader pointed his finger towards the sky, and a vast and boundless voice pierced the heavens: "The Great Dao is simple; only by upholding one's original intention can one truly understand. If the mind is still as water, all laws will naturally become clear; if thoughts are clouded, even with extraordinary abilities, one will find it difficult to even glimpse the path to sainthood."

As if struck by a sudden enlightenment, everyone bowed in unison, their voices unified and devout: "Disciples will remember your teachings and dare not forget them!"

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Chen Yu standing silently in place.

He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and lowered his head, his posture respectful and composed.

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Not bad, even more stable and resilient than I expected. I only hoped you would steadily enter the True Immortal realm within fifty years, but who would have thought that in just a few years you would have already climbed to the pinnacle of True Immortal, with the gate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal just a step away. In terms of the firmness of your will, even Yang Jian, who split the mountain with an axe back then, would probably be three points inferior to you."

He paused slightly, then sighed softly, "Do you think I've been too harsh on you? Actually... I set my bottom line very low long ago, just hoping you'd walk steadily. But you've been speeding ahead, even I can't keep up."

Chen Yu hurriedly said, "This disciple is terrified, fearing I will fail in my duty. But... Master, is the innate spiritual treasure bestowed upon me by the Goddess Nuwa truly willing to lend it to this disciple?"

The Grand Master of Heaven laughed loudly: "If I didn't believe you could control it, why would I have placed it on your desk?"

Chen Yu's brows immediately relaxed, and he replied loudly, "Since Master has entrusted me with this task, I will not refuse! I will repay you with my life and live up to the prestige of the Jie Sect!"
