Chapter 156: with translation of chapter title

Primeval Plane, Demon Realm.

Primeval Plane, Demon Realm.

A cyan lotus emanating chaotic divine light stood firm in the void, its petals blooming, within which countless chaotic qi surged, and a vague silhouette appeared.

Make sure to keep meaning.

This silhouette wore a green robe, tall and slender, with black hair flowing over the shoulders, bearing an extraordinary demeanor, yet faintly exuding an invincible, self‑centered conviction, as if a supreme heavenly emperor had descended to the mortal realm.

Translate: "This figure wore an azure robe, was tall and slender, with black hair flowing over the shoulders, possessing an extraordinary demeanor, yet faintly exuded a belief of sole supremacy that made him invincible, as if a Supreme Heavenly Emperor had descended to the mundane."

At the same time, his body contained a supreme qi capable of cleaving heaven and earth, as if he were the one who split chaos and void.

Translate: "At the same time, his body contained a heaven-splitting, earth-splitting supreme aura, as if he were the creator of the Chaos Void."

"Qing Emperor? No, Pangu."

Translate: '"Azure Emperor? No, Pangu"'

Gazing at this familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Feng Yi's mind unconsciously conjured those two names, and his heart jumped.

Translate: "Gazing at this familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Feng Yi's mind subconsciously conjured those two names, and his heart jumped involuntarily."

Indeed, the green‑clad figure before him was virtually identical to the primordial spirit of the Qing Emperor he had once seen, and the heaven‑splitting qi within him closely resembled the Pangu Dao contained in the Heavenly Stele Mystic Law.

Translate: "Indeed, the azure-robed figure before him was almost identical to the primordial spirit of the Azure Emperor he had once seen, and the heaven-splitting, earth-splitting supreme aura within him closely resembled the Pangu Great Dao contained in the Heavenly Stele Profound Law."

After a moment, Feng Yi seemed to sense something; information flowed through his eyes, and a hint of realization appeared in his gaze.

Translate: "After a moment, Feng Yi seemed to sense something; information flowed in his eyes, and a hint of realization appeared in his gaze."

The green‑clad figure within the Chaos Azure Lotus was neither the Qing Emperor nor Pangu, but rather a divine‑like entity corresponding to this supreme treasure, the Chaos Azure Lotus.

Translate: "The azure-robed figure within the Chaos Azure Lotus was neither the Azure Emperor nor Pangu, but rather a divine-like entity equivalent to the Chaos Azure Lotus as a supreme treasure."

Having absorbed the Dao laws of the universe's Fourteenth Chief God, the originally incomplete Sovereign‑Immortal Dao within the Chaos Azure Lotus was partially completed and perfected, giving rise to this illusory figure through the evolution of its principles.

Translate: "Having absorbed the Dao laws of the Fourteenth Chief God of this universe, the originally incomplete Immortal King's Dao within the Chaos Azure Lotus was partially supplemented and perfected, also causing its Dao principles to evolve into this illusory figure."

Because the Chaos Azure Lotus is essentially the Qing Emperor's true form, containing all of his information and Dao, this figure naturally resembles the Qing Emperor almost exactly.

Translate: "Because the Chaos Azure Lotus is essentially the Azure Emperor's true form, containing all his information and Dao principles, this figure thus closely resembles the Azure Emperor."

Moreover, since the Chaos Azure Lotus now co‑exists with Feng Yi's Wheel‑Sea World and has gained the Pangu Dao from his insight into the Heavenly Stele Mystic Law, the born figure also carries Pangu's heaven‑splitting intent.

Translate: "Moreover, since the Chaos Azure Lotus now coexists with Feng Yi's Wheel Sea World, it has gained the Pangu Dao contained in his comprehension of the Heavenly Stele Profound Law, so the born figure also possesses Pangu's heaven-splitting, earth-splitting Dao intent."

As thoughts turned in Feng Yi's mind, a whoosh sounded, and the roots of the Chaos Azure Lotus retracted directly from the skull of the Fourteenth Chief God.

Translate: "As thoughts turned in Feng Yi's mind, a whoosh sounded, and the root system of the Chaos Azure Lotus directly retracted from the Fourteenth Chief God's skull."

The next moment, a humming sound rang out, the entire cosmic void trembled, and the Fourteenth Chief God's skull turned directly into nothingness.

Translate: "The next moment, a humming sound rang out, the entire cosmic void trembled, and the Fourteenth Chief God's skull directly turned into nothingness."

The entire Primeval Plane fell silent; all human powerhouses who witnessed this seemed to lose the ability to speak.

Translate: "The entire Primeval Plane fell silent; all human powerhouses who witnessed this seemed to lose the ability to speak."

Especially the Indra deity beside Feng Yi, who now wore a look of bewilderment and stupor, as if everything before him were an illusory dream.

Translate: "Especially Di Shi Tian beside Feng Yi, who at this moment wore a look of bewilderment and stupor, as if everything before him were an illusory dream."

Their clan, since its inception, had exhausted countless members' bodies, souls, and origins, causing countless to fall merely to barely suppress the Fourteenth Chief God's skull; now it vanished before his eyes into nothingness, completely dissipated!

Translate: "Their clan, since its birth, had exhausted countless members' bodies, souls, and origins, allowing countless to perish merely to barely suppress the Fourteenth Chief God's skull; yet now it turned to nothingness right before his eyes, completely dissipating!"

So casual, so effortless, it seemed like nothing more than a trivial trifle!

Translate: "So casual, so effortless, as if it were merely a trivial trifle!"

Before this Azure Lotus treasure of the Patriarch, the Fourteenth Chief God's skull offered no resistance at all!

Translate: "Before the Forefather's this azure lotus supreme treasure, the Fourteenth Chief God's skull actually had no power to resist!"

If this were not truly happening before his eyes, he would likely think he had been invaded by inner demons and was hallucinating.

Translate: "If not for all this truly happening before his eyes, he would likely think he had been invaded by inner demons, producing hallucinations."

At the same time, in the hidden sanctums of the Primeval Plane—Holy Mountain, North Sea, Nine Abysses, Snowy Realm, Blade Domain, and others—cultivating human experts all stared in shock at the slender figure wrapped in chaotic qi within the Azure Lotus, their hearts trembling uncontrollably.

Translate: "At the same time, Holy Mountain, North Sea, Nine Yi, Snow Region, Blade Region, and other hidden places of the Primeval Plane, all the cultivating human powerhouses there gazed in horror at the tall figure within the azure lotus entwined by chaos qi, their hearts and spirits trembling uncontrollably."

Although the figure did not actively emit a terrifying aura, its very presence felt like an boundless, immortal universe, instinctively making one feel infinitesimally small.

Translate: "Although that figure did not actively emit a terrifying aura, his very presence felt like an boundless, immortal universe, causing an unconscious sense of insignificance to arise in people's hearts."

As human powerhouses born at the dawn of the cosmos, they had witnessed the four supreme beings and understood their might.

Translate: "As human powerhouses born at the dawn of the universe, they had all witnessed the Four Supreme Sovereigns and understood their might."

Yet now, the figure within the Azure Lotus, encircled by chaotic qi, gave them a sensation surpassing even the four supreme beings—an entity that transcended the human supremes.

Translate: "But now, the figure within the azure lotus entwined by chaos qi gave them a feeling even greater than the Four Supreme Sovereigns, absolutely a mighty existence surpassing human supreme sovereigns."

"Chief God!"

Translate: '"Chief God!"'

A supreme, unparalleled name rose in the hearts of many human powerhouses, making their spirits tremble incessantly, and some even burst into tears.

Translate: "A supreme and exalted name rose in the hearts of many human powerhouses, making their spirits tremble incessantly, and some even burst into tears."

Has humanity given birth to its own Chief God?

Translate: "Has humanity given birth to its own Chief God?"

This notion, which they had never dared to contemplate before, now spread like wildfire in their minds, causing their gazes toward the green‑clad figure in the Azure Lotus to become fervent.

Translate: "This notion, which they usually dared not even think of, now spread like wild weeds in their hearts, causing their gazes toward the azure-robed figure within the azure lotus to become fervent."

But just then, Feng Yi's spiritual sense twitched; illusory yin‑yang trigrams flowed in his eyes, countless hexagrams appeared, and he instinctively looked toward the universe's most fundamental source.

Translate: "But just then, Feng Yi's spiritual sense twitched slightly; the illusory Yin-Yang Bagua turned in his eyes, countless hexagram images surfaced, and he subconsciously looked toward the cosmic origin."

"The Law of Balance."

Translate: '"Balance Principle."'

A thought arose in Feng Yi's mind, causing his gaze to suddenly become unusually bright.

Translate: "A thought rose in Feng Yi's heart, causing his gaze to suddenly become unusually bright."

The Law of Balance is the foundation of everything in this universe, permeating every corner, sustaining the cosmos's operation, checking and balancing all laws and rules, even regulating time and space.

Translate: "The Balance Principle is the foundation of everything in this universe, pervading every corner, sustaining the cosmos's operation, checking and balancing all laws and rules, even time and space are kept in check by it."

It is a supreme law that even the twenty‑six light‑and‑dark Chief Gods cannot reach, only able to gaze upon; in a sense, it is the fundamental Dao of this universe.

Translate: "This is a supreme law that even the twenty-six Light and Dark Chief Gods cannot reach, only able to look up to; to some extent it is the foundation of the Great Dao of this universe."

However, while the gods cannot grasp the Law of Balance, humanity's four supreme beings have touched it and comprehended part of its mystery—the Four Symbols Grand Formation.

Translate: "However, while the gods cannot touch the Balance Principle, humanity's Four Supreme Sovereigns have grasped it, comprehending part of its mystery: the Four Symbols Grand Formation."

The four holy beasts of the Primeval Plane are offspring of the Law of Balance, their very origin being that law.

Translate: "The Four Sacred Spirit Beasts of the Primeval Plane are offspring of the Balance Principle, and their origin is the Balance Principle."

Thus, when humanity's four supremes unite with the four spirit holy beasts and set up the Four Symbols Formation, they can imprison or even slay a Chief God.

Translate: "Thus, humanity's Four Supreme Sovereigns united with the Four Sacred Spirit Beasts; after setting up the Four Symbols Grand Formation, they could seal and even slay the Chief God."

All this is not due to the prowess of humanity's four supremes, but the effect of the universe's supreme Law of Balance.

Translate: "All this is not the credit of humanity's Four Supreme Sovereigns, but the effect of the Balance Principle, this universe's supreme law."

For Feng Yi, he himself wields the Four Phases Dao of the Lingbao Celestial Venerable and possesses four immortal divine herbs that grow with him; he could therefore, via the Primeval Plane's four spirit holy beasts, reverse‑control this realm's Law of Balance and turn it into nourishment for his own Dao.

Translate: "For Feng Yi, he himself masters the Four Phases Dao of the Lingbao Heavenly Sovereign, and also possesses four immortal divine elixirs that coexist with him; he might thus, via the Primeval Plane's Four Sacred Spirit Beasts, reverse-control this realm's Balance Principle and turn it into his own Dao foundation."

Roar!

Translate: "Roar!"

Chant!

Translate: "Chant!"

Cry!

Translate: "Cry!"

Howl!

Translate: "Howl!"

Before Feng Yi's thought had fully settled, four beast cries—some deep and resonant, some clear and lofty, some distant and mournful, some fierce and violent—suddenly erupted from the azure depths, echoing directly in the hearts of every member of the Primeval human race.

Translate: "Before Feng Yi's thought had fully settled, four beast cries—either deep and resonant, clear and lofty, distant and mournful, or fierce and violent—suddenly echoed from the depths of the azure abyss, directly resonating in the hearts of every person of the Primeval Plane humanity."

In an instant, four utterly distinct divine powers swept across heaven and earth, flowing according to some mysterious principle, forming a vast, boundless yin‑yang fish.

Translate: "In an instant, four utterly different divine powers swept across heaven and earth, flowing according to some mysterious Dao principle, forming a vast, boundless Yin-Yang Fish."

The yin‑yang fish continually spins, like a mysterious Taiji diagram, representing the root of the Dao.

Translate: "The Yin-Yang Fish continually rotated, like a mysterious Taiji diagram, representing the foundation of the Dao."

Boom—

Translate: "Boom—rumble—rumble"

Just as the black‑and‑white Yin‑Yang Fish carrying the Balance Principle was about to descend upon the Chaos Azure Lotus, ready to erase this anomaly whose operating rules differed utterly from this universe's, a phantom humming sound suddenly rang out.

A timeless, vast law seemed to manifest through the yin‑yang fish, making the gods tremble and shaking the entire universe.

Translate: "An eternal, vast law seemed to manifest in the world with the Yin-Yang Fish as its carrier, making all gods tremble and the entire universe shake."

The ocean of light, the gazes of the thirteen Light Chief Gods turned toward the Primeval Plane, while in the dark abyss the thirteen Dark Chief Gods also looked over.

Translate: "In the ocean of light, the gazes of the thirteen Light Chief Gods turned toward the Primeval Plane; in the dark abyss, the eyes of the thirteen Dark Chief Gods also looked over at the same time."

At this moment, the Law of Balance, which had lain silent since the dawn of chaos, reappeared in the world, showing its supremacy over all laws of this realm—so formidable that even the light‑and‑dark Chief Gods could not withstand its awesome might.

Translate: "At this moment, the Balance Principle, which had lain silent since the dawn of Chaos, reappeared in the world, showing its supremacy over all laws of this realm, a terrifying might that even the Light and Dark Chief Gods could not withstand."

Gazing upon the yin‑yang fish bearing the Law of Balance, Feng Yi's eyes filled with countless turning hexagrams, his mind and spirit shaken uncontrollably.

Translate: "Gazing at the Yin-Yang Fish bearing the Balance Principle, countless hexagram images flowed in Feng Yi's eyes, his heart and spirit shaking uncontrollably."

This is absolutely a transcendent supreme power surpassing even the Ultimate Ancestor Gods; even if it has not reached the Sovereign level, it is certainly at the quasi‑Sovereign tier.

Translate: "This is absolutely a supreme power surpassing the Supreme Ancestral God; even if it has not reached King-level, it is definitely Quasi-King tier."

No wonder the light‑and‑dark Chief Gods of this realm, comparable to the Ultimate Ancestor Gods, are as insignificant as ants before the Law of Balance, unable to offer the slightest resistance.

Translate: "No wonder the Light and Dark Chief Gods of this realm, comparable to Supreme Ancestral Gods, are like ants before the Balance Principle, possessing no ability to resist at all."

Although the Law of Balance's power is immeasurably great, Feng Yi's eyes showed no worry; he calmly gazed at the Chaos Azure Lotus beneath the yin‑yang fish, as if about to be erased by it, and in the depths of his pupils a phantom river of fate appeared, displaying various scenes.

Translate: "However, although the Balance Principle's might is immeasurably great, Feng Yi's eyes showed no worry; he merely calmly gazed at the Chaos Azure Lotus beneath the Yin-Yang Fish, as if about to be erased by the Fish, and in the depths of his pupils a phantom River of Fate appeared, displaying different scenes."

Hum

Translate: "Hum"

Just as the black‑and‑white yin‑yang fish bearing the Law of Balance was about to descend onto the Chaos Azure Lotus, ready to obliterate this anomaly whose operating rules differed utterly from this universe's, a phantom humming sound suddenly rang out.

Just as the black-and-white Yin-Yang Fish carrying the Balance Principle was about to descend upon the Chaos Azure Lotus, ready to erase this anomaly whose operating rules differed utterly from this universe's, a phantom humming sound suddenly rang out.

The next moment, the figure within the Chaos Azure Lotus instantly transformed into countless Dao runes, resembling a phantom Dao fruit, and merged directly into the Lotus.

Translate: "The next moment, the figure within the Chaos Azure Lotus suddenly transformed into countless Dao principle runes, like a phantom Dao Fruit, directly merging into the Chaos Azure Lotus."

The Chaos Azure Lotus bloomed again, endless spiritual light emanating from its petals, drifting into the cosmic void, where it became a special Dao principle that merged into the whole universe.

Translate: "The Chaos Azure Lotus bloomed again, endless spiritual light rising from its petals, directly dissipating into the cosmic void, becoming a special Dao principle rationale, merging into the whole universe."

At the same time, the Lotus's roots spread into the void, as if taking root in the cosmic origin, becoming part of the universe itself.

Translate: "At the same time, the Chaos Azure Lotus's roots spread directly into the void, as if taking root in the cosmic origin, becoming part of the universe itself."

Boom

Translate: "Boom—"

As if the roar of heaven and earth being split apart sounded, echoing throughout every corner of the cosmic void, the entire universe was constantly trembling.

In an instant, within the entire universe, whether it was the lofty main gods or ordinary sentient beings, their minds and spirits felt a faint joy from deep within, as if it were an instinct emanating from the universe itself.

In a haze, the entire universe seemed to undergo some expansion; the void grew increasingly weighty, the planes became ever broader, and the Dao principles and laws grew ever more profound.

"It truly is the true form of Qingdi."

With a calm expression, he watched this scene, sensing the changes in the entire universe, and Feng Yi's mind subconsciously rose with this thought.

Qingdi embarked on the path of evolving the immortal realm within the barren pagoda, and now the Chaos Green Lotus, to avoid being erased by the balance law, also chose to temporarily merge with this universe, using its Dao principles of opening and evolving worlds to help the entire universe transform.

At this moment, the Chaos Green Lotus seemed to become the source of this universe's creation; its Dao principles also merged into this universe, causing tremendous changes in the universe's Dao principles and laws, as if it were continually evolving.

Hum

As Feng Yi's thoughts turned, with the Chaos Green Lotus merging with this universe's Dao principles, it became an important thing that greatly aided the universe's evolution; the black-and-white yin-yang fish that had originally been emanating endless destructive intent suddenly halted in place.

The balance law is merely a kind of instinctive rule of how this universe's Great Dao operates; it has no true consciousness, and thus naturally would not do anything harmful to this universe.

Now the Chaos Green Lotus is beneficial to this universe's evolution, so the balance law could not possibly harm it.

After a good while, the black-and-white yin-yang fish suddenly trembled and directly transformed into four streams of divine power with differing breaths, merging into the Chaos Green Lotus.

The Chaos Green Lotus swayed slightly, as if it had received some important supplement; its originally deficient Dao principles became ever more complete.

At the same time, four Dao marks of different shapes appeared on the lotus petals of the Chaos Green Lotus, resembling the forms of the Four Spirit Sacred Beasts, as if they contained this universe's most fundamental Dao principles and laws.

Whoosh!

After an unknown amount of time, a figure reappeared upon the Chaos Green Lotus, and a vast, boundless aura rose from his body, sweeping across the entire Primeval.

In an instant, throughout the Primeval plane, whether hidden cultivators among humanity or ordinary human beings, their hearts trembled, and they could not help but kowtow toward the direction of the Chaos Green Lotus.

That was a mighty aura that towered above all, making it impossible for anyone to gaze directly upon it.

"Immortal"

Sensing the mighty aura emanating from the Chaos Green Lotus, Feng Yi's mind subconsciously rose with this thought.

Originally, the Chaos Green Lotus was a top-tier Daoist imperial weapon, capable of briefly clashing with the Heavenly Blade without defeat.

As it became a companion spirit of Feng Yi's Wheel Sea World, transforming together with him, it also received the completion of the laws of the Longevity Realm, nearly reaching a point where it would completely surpass the level of Daoist imperial weapons.

And now, having absorbed the law fragments of the Fourteenth Main God and received the gift of the balance law, it was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, granting the Immortal King Dao principles contained within the Chaos Green Lotus a certain completion, thoroughly reaching a new level—Immortal!

Moreover, given the Immortal King nature of the Chaos Green Lotus, even among Immortal artifacts, it now counts as one of the very best.

"When I return to the Shrouding Heaven World next time and see Qingdi again, he probably won't dare believe that this stalk of Chaos Green Lotus is his true form!"

With that thought subconsciously rising in his mind, Feng Yi couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile on his face.

After a while, he gathered his scattered thoughts, gazed upon the Chaos Green Lotus standing in the void, and lightly extended his hand.

Swish

In an instant, the Chaos Green Lotus transformed into a beam of chaotic divine light, falling directly into his hand, continually swaying its lotus leaves and scattering specks of powerful chaotic qi.

Gazing at the Chaos Green Lotus in his hand, blooming with endless divine light and sensing the vast aura it contained, Feng Yi's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.

Not only had he obtained a top-tier Immortal artifact, but more importantly, through the performance of the Chaos Green Lotus at this moment, Feng Yi completely confirmed that the deficient Immortal King Dao principles contained within the Undying Divine Medicine could be made whole.

In that case, the remaining Undying Divine Medicine in his hand could gradually be restored to the level of Immortal King Divine Medicine, adding tremendous aid to his future cultivation.

As his thoughts turned, Feng Yi felt a stir in his mind, and the Chaos Green Lotus in his hand vanished outright, returning to the very center of his Wheel Sea World.

Hum

In an instant, Feng Yi's entire Wheel Sea World shuddered, as if it had gained some crucial support, becoming ever vaster and more unfathomable.

At this moment, although his own cultivation had not undergone much change, his physique and the aura emanating from his body began to rapidly increase.

At the same time, strands of law fragments and this realm's most special law insights merged into Feng Yi's mind and spirit, causing him to stand dumbfounded in place.

"Time Law."

Countless law fragments continually circulated within Feng Yi's mind and spirit, resonating with his comprehension of the Great Dao of fate and prophecy, allowing him to instantly understand what kind of law these fragments were.

This was precisely the Time Law mastered by the Fourteenth Main God when he was born in accordance with the Great Dao.

"Fate, Time, Prophecy"

Countless insights arose in Feng Yi's mind and spirit, as if transformed into this realm's supreme Great Dao principle, letting him arrange the Eight Trigrams in the void, and the path to becoming a main god that he had once comprehended resurfaced in his thoughts.

Some supreme law manifested between heaven and earth, guiding him to almost instinctively circulate the insights and power within his body, beginning to rise toward a realm above the supreme.

Suddenly, lines of silver-white appeared on Feng Yi's body, like the manifestation of the source of the Great Dao's law, continually converging toward his brow, gradually forming a diamond-shaped mark imbued with a power that towered over all things, mysterious and unfathomable.

In a haze, Feng Yi's whole person seemed to become the embodiment of the Great Dao's rules, and his demeanor grew ever more indifferent and weathered.
