Chapter 390: Cooperation

He raised his hand, and his fingertip made a gentle slash in the Void.

In an instant, an inscrutable rune coalesced in the air, woven from black and white dual Qi, evolving Yin Yang, spawning creation, and exuding a rich Dao Rhythm.

"This is the overarching rune of the 'Yin Yang Creation Technique', containing the true meaning of the method. Ye Saint Son's spirit is powerful; by viewing this rune, one can immediately comprehend its mysteries," Xuan Yi said, giving a gentle push, and the black‑white rune drifted slowly toward Ye Wuque.

Ye Wuque's Divine Sense swept over, confirming the rune was harmless, then incorporated it into his Sea of Awareness.

In a flash, a massive influx of information surged in!

Yin Yang Rotation, creation's birth and death, the rise and fall of all things… profound truths of the laws unfolded within the Sea of Awareness; it was indeed an extremely advanced refinement method, directly pointing to the source of creation.

Although it was only a fragment, the profound principles it contained already deepened Ye Wuque's understanding of the Way of Creation considerably.

In just three breaths, Ye Wuque had fully digested the information within the rune.

He opened his eyes, looked at Xuan Yi, and nodded: "The method is flawless."

Xuan Yi smiled: "If so, let's begin."

The moment the words fell, the atmosphere between them changed abruptly!

Though a temporary cooperation agreement was reached, everyone knew that once they truly approached the Holy Law Origin, the competition would already have begun.

That so‑called reliance on one's abilities includes both insight into the Way of Creation and… actions at critical moments!

Almost simultaneously, the two moved.

Ye Wuque's body was suffused with golden light, his Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body operating at its limit, his feet stepping out mysterious strides; his whole form seemed to merge with the Void as he slowly walked toward the Chaos Light Sphere deep within the secret realm.

Xuan Yi, with a single step, had a Yin Yang Taiji diagram appear beneath his feet, black and white dual Qi encircling his body, evolving the mysteries of creation.

His steps appeared slow, but each footfall landed on a node of the cosmos' veins, and his speed was in no way inferior to Ye Wuque's.

A Hundred Zhang distance, for Dark Cultivators of their level, should be traversed in an instant.

Yet at this moment, both moved unusually slowly and cautiously.

Because as they drew nearer to the Holy Law Origin, the surrounding creation Dao Rhythm grew ever denser, and the pressure increased accordingly.

That pressure was not physical oppression, but a Tiandao‑level "repulsion."

The Creation Saint Method Origin, like an arrogant monarch, scrutinized the subjects attempting to approach it.

If it does not grant approval, an invisible Dao Rhythm barrier will block them outside, making any advance impossible.

Within Ye Wuque, the Battle Sage Method Origin and the Time‑Space Saint Method Origin trembled simultaneously, emitting vibrations unique to the Holy Law Origin.

That vibration resonated subtly with the creation Dao Rhythm, easing the pressure he felt considerably.

On the other side, Xuan Yi's surrounding Yin Yang Dual Qi manifested various creation phenomena.

Withered plants, seasonal cycles, the birth of life… these phenomena resonated with the creation Dao Rhythm, allowing him to advance steadily.

Fifty Zhang.

Thirty Zhang.

Twenty Zhang.

The distance closed, and the true form of the Chaos Light Sphere became increasingly clear.

The sphere's diameter was about three zhang; its surface swirled with countless colored glows, and within, faint shadows of innumerable worlds could be seen in cycles of birth and death—stars forming, life evolving, civilizations rising, and all things withering… all the mysteries of creation lay within.

Ten Zhang!

At the instant both stepped into the ten‑zhang range of the Holy Law Origin—

A sudden anomaly erupted!

Boom!

The Chaos Light Sphere suddenly burst forth with unprecedented dazzling light!

That light was not a blinding glare, but a warm, all‑encompassing hue of chaos.

Wherever the light passed, the Void was tinted with a wash of chaotic color, and the concepts of Time and Space grew fuzzy.

More terrifying, an indescribable Great Power of Creation, like an awakened ancient deity, erupted from deep within the sphere!

That power was not an attack, but… a test!

Ye Wuque and Xuan Yi simultaneously felt as if they had been cast into a world wholly composed of creation laws.

Everything around vanished, leaving only endless creation Dao Rhythm, flooding them like a tide.

In the next instant, their consciousnesses were drawn into a strange illusion…
