Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

The myriad laws, each possessing its own clear radiance and distinct colors, reflected and cascaded down in a dazzling display. The scene was truly magnificent.

The disciples finally realized what was happening and erupted in a thunderous, heart-stirring cry.

"Holy crap! What is that?! Can anyone tell me what that thing is?! Hahaha!"

"566...567...568..."

"Stop counting this junior brother! Quickly cheer for Chu Xinghe! Go, Junior Brother Xinghe! Beat that idiot Dugu Wentian to a pulp!"

"Hahaha, sixteen Great Dao Laws can't defeat the Taixu Sword Sect. So let's directly unleash ten thousand of them now. How would you possibly deal with that? I can't even begin to think of how we could possibly lose! Hahaha!"

"Damn it, didn't they say the Haoran Immortal Sect was full of charlatans? Didn't they say we were just a bunch of chickens and dogs? Screw that again! Come on, you try and yell at me!"

"..."

"Junior brother, calm down. Don't celebrate at halftime. Even if Junior Brother Xinghe can beat Dugu Wentian, no one in our Haoran Immortal Sect can beat Nangong Chi. In the end, we will most likely still lose."

"Moreover, before Junior Brother Xinghe defeats Dugu Wentian, even if we trigger the resonance of all the Dao, it won't be of much significance."

"Forget about this and that, let's just rant and rave first! Dugu Wentian, you son of a bitch!"

"..."

The disciples were so excited that they could hardly contain their emotions.

Chu Xinghe's actions resonated with all the Dao, which, while not bringing about any substantial change to the ending, provided them with an opportunity to vent their anger.

They're not stupid. They wouldn't have started hurling insults halfway through the game if they weren't confident. Since they did, it means they were sure of what to do.

Imagine.

Li Ziqiang could resonate with sixteen Daos and fight Dugu Wentian for five days and five nights. How could Chu Xinghe, who could resonate with ten thousand Daos, possibly lose?

Totally impossible.

You can tell just by looking at Dugu Wentian's expression.

Upon witnessing Chu Xinghe's ability to resonate with all the Dao, even the arrogant Dugu Wentian felt a pang of guilt. Was this truly something a human could accomplish?

Before even engaging in battle, he already felt a sense of dread. This left him in a state of turmoil, and he was unhappy that he was experiencing such emotions.

Even Kong Jian, the sect leader of the Taixu Sword Sect, had an unusually solemn expression. He stared at Chu Xinghe with a gloomy gaze, his thoughts unreadable.

Ordinary disciples, witnessing the resonance of ten thousand paths, might only marvel at its awesomeness. But those who reach his level understand its terrifying power.

The resonance of ten thousand paths represents the approval of ten thousand ancient masters. What does that mean?

In this sense, each strand of the Great Dao descending from the sky represents a powerful figure who once stood at the pinnacle of the continent. Those powerful figures... were no weaker than him.

Such powerful individuals already possess their own established doctrines. The differences between them are so vast that they cannot coexist. And the inability to coexist means the inability to resonate.

Previously, Li Ziqiang was already considered a top genius for being able to resonate with sixteen Great Dao Laws. Now, Chu Xinghe has directly resonated with ten thousand. This is inconceivable.

Intuition and cognition both told him that this was impossible.

But the myriad strands of the Great Dao descending from the heavens cannot be faked. Whether it's possible or not, this has already happened, and no one can question it.

"Haha, you old dog Kongjian, weren't you laughing quite heartily before? Keep laughing."

Xing Feng seized the opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack. He had been holding back for a long time, and he was ready to vent first.

The other peak masters remained relatively calm and kept silent until the matter was definitively concluded.

"Celebrating before the game even starts?"

Kong Jian looked at Peak Master Xing Feng and snorted coldly, "Don't end up with nothing but fancy moves that are all show and no substance, making you a laughing stock in the end."

"That's none of your concern. Let your arrogant underling clean up and get ready to get a beating!"

Peak Master Xing Feng was not to be outdone and had great confidence in Chu Xinghe.

"Are you kidding me? Those are the myriad Great Daos collected by the Dao Peak Ancestor. Even if he doesn't trust Chu Xinghe, what reason does he have to question the Dao Peak Ancestor's judgment?"

"hehe."

Kong Jian laughed, "So what if you win one match? Can anyone win a second one for you?"

"Exactly, this match is a best-of-three series. What are you smug about?"

The high-ranking members of the Taixu Sword Sect rallied to lend their support.

Xing Fengfeng's words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out; he held them in.

What they said is correct.

Even if Chu Xinghe can defeat Dugu Wentian, no one from the Haoran Immortal Sect can defeat Nangong Chi, so they will still lose in the end.

Chang Wen watched this scene with a sense of empathy.

"If only someone from the Haoran Immortal Sect could defeat Nangong Chi."

That's what he was thinking.

There was much discussion and differing opinions in the room. But the feedback from the Great Dao did not stop because of these discussions.

Ten thousand beams of light hovered in mid-air, swirling and converging. They stirred up a gentle breeze, dispelling any turbid air in their path, leaving only a refreshing coolness.

As it rotates to a certain speed, all paths merge into one, converging into a massive beam of energy thousands of feet long. It carries a profound celestial sound, like a great Confucian scholar preaching, causing one's soul to tremble.

Auspicious light descended from the heavens. The light transformed into gentle rain, silently sliding down the pillar of light and slowly forming a protective shield that enveloped Chu Xinghe perfectly.

The beam of light roared, and its energy lingered for a long time.

Before long, Chu Xinghe floated half a meter in the air, and ten thousand beams of light energy frantically converged at his feet, forming a huge vortex hundreds of feet long that engulfed his figure.

Half an incense stick later, Chu Xinghe's figure became clear again.

The myriad beams of light vanished, transforming into ten thousand-petaled lotuses of light, which floated silently beneath his feet. They rotated slowly, crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.

The lotus petals unfolded one by one, and with each unfolded petal, an auspicious aura rose into the sky.

A few breaths later, auspicious energy filled the sky, transforming into a boundless auspicious haze. Heaven and earth were serene, with only the endless echoes of countless celestial sounds remaining.

"With countless paths standing side by side, who can rival them?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chu Xinghe slowly opened his eyes and murmured something to the heart.

Unlike Dugu Wentian, his words, though arrogant, did not convey any arrogance. This was because his words were not directed at any particular person, but rather questioned the entire world.

In this prosperous world, where all traditions flourish, who can rival me? How confident I am!

Everyone fell into deep thought, even the holy sons of each peak were moved. As the leaders of their respective peaks and the pioneers of the times, they felt ashamed in the face of such sentiments.

While they were still racking their brains over their rankings on the Hundred Heroes List, Chu Xinghe was unmatched, his Dao Heart was worlds apart.

of course.

Having confidence is certainly a good thing, but one must also have the corresponding strength and means; otherwise, one will only become a laughing stock. It remains to be seen whether Chu Xinghe's future achievements will match his unparalleled confidence.

People are watching with bated breath.

As Chu Xinghe stood up, all the strange phenomena transformed into absorbable energy, frantically pouring into his body. Like rivers flowing into the sea, they returned to silence.

Next, a familiar scene unfolds.

The auspicious sky turned into a thick cloud cover, and thunder rumbled.

The tribulation of the Golden Core realm has arrived.

It has two more layers than Li Ziqiang's, making it a full five layers.

Five layers of tribulation lightning!

This means that Chu Xinghe directly went from the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm to the peak of the Golden Core Realm!

Great achievements are often accompanied by great tribulations; this is the law of nature. Countless people looked at Chu Xinghe with worry in their hearts, fearing that he would be struck by lightning.

But then, something happened that left them speechless.

Chu Xinghe looked up at the sky and uttered a single word: "Disperse."

People blinked, wondering what was going on. Talking to the lightning tribulation? Seriously?!

But they soon found out.

The lightning bolt seemed to understand the single, light word, and vanished from the clouds in mere moments. The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a clear, bright sky. It was as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was stunned, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a goose egg.

What's going on? One word drove away five layers of Golden Core tribulation lightning?

No buddy! This lightning tribulation is like a bolt from the blue for your family!

Even ancient beings like Lin Baoding, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, were dumbfounded and incredulous.

Having lived for so many years, this is the first time I've ever known that tribulation lightning could be overcome in this way. It's truly an eye-opening experience.
