Chapter 400: Choice of the Holy Law Origin

"Five… Extreme Realm…"

Geshu Wenyue's voice was hoarse and dry; each syllable seemed to require all his strength, yet he persisted in speaking, his tone filled with incredulous and bitter enlightenment.

"So… the legend is actually true… there really are people… who can achieve the Extreme Realm in all five great foundational realms…"

"No wonder… no wonder my Eight Wilderness Jiemie Slash… my Return‑to‑void Blade Intent… my dual Extreme Realm power… before you… is like child's play…"

He gave a wretched smile, coughing up a mouthful of dark‑golden blood laced with fragments of internal organs, yet his gaze gradually became clear and calm:

"I was defeated… defeated… convinced in heart and mouth…"

"Five Extreme Realm… Ye Wuque… you are the one truly born of this great age… the most radiant among that tiny cluster of WorldShatteringExistence… destined to walk the Absolute Peak of Zhutian Wanjie, to overlook the Wan Gu Lun Hui as a supreme figure…"

"Compared with you… I am… still far behind… far behind…"

In Geshu Wenyue's tone there was no longer any resentment, no longer any grievance, only a calm that came from seeing reality clearly, and awe toward the truly Absolute Peak existence.

Ye Wuque listened quietly, offering neither words of comfort nor humble refusals.

At their level, false politeness was meaningless.

Strength is the best language.

Geshu Wenyue gasped for a moment, laboriously bracing the ground with his blade, and slowly rose.

His body swayed, yet he stood upright.

He swiftly sat cross‑legged in the Void, closed his eyes, and formed a strange blade seal with both hands.

At once, a faint yet exceedingly pure blade intent rose from deep within his broken body, like a spark of a star, beginning to laboriously combat and disperse the lingering Chaos Qi at the wound, while also mobilizing the remaining Primordial Power within to repair the severely damaged flesh and spirit.

His healing speed was extremely fast, revealing the depth of his foundation and the subtlety of his technique.

Ye Wuque did not intervene, merely waited quietly, his gaze again turning to the nearby ever‑floating, radiating the vast Creation Dao Rhythm and otherwise motionless Chaos Light Sphere—the Creation Saint Method Origin.

About the length of an incense stick's burn.

The faint blade intent surrounding Geshu Wenyue gradually grew stronger; though far from its peak, it had become stable and resilient.

The most dreadful wound on his chest had its peripheral Chaos Qi completely expelled, and flesh began to writhe, grow, and heal at a visibly rapid pace.

A hint of color returned to his pallid face.

He slowly opened his eyes; the blood vessels in his pupils faded considerably, becoming sharp as before.

Although the injuries had only recovered sixty‑to‑seventy percent, his basic mobility and combat power were essentially unhindered.

He looked at Ye Wuque; the complex emotions in his gaze had faded, replaced by a pure, settled battle insight and calm.

"To be able to clash with a WorldShatteringExistence like Brother Ye… to witness the true great power of the Five Extreme Realm… is my fortune." Geshu Wenyue spoke, his voice still hoarse but much steadier, "From this battle I have benefited greatly. The long‑standing bottleneck in my blade path shows signs of loosening. Given time, I may advance further."

This is sincere. To fight to the death with a transcendent powerhouse like Ye Wuque, though a crushing defeat, the displayed Tiandao trajectory, power usage, and law confrontation gave him great enlightenment. Such a gain is, in some sense, more precious than obtaining a Divine Weapon.

Ye Wuque heard this, a faint smile appearing on his face, and nodded: "You are not lacking either. Your Jiemie Return‑to‑void Blade Intent has already touched the source of Destruction and End, and if in the future you can incorporate more of Creation's rebirth intent, yin and yang in mutual aid, the Cycle of Life and Death, its power will surely ascend further."

He paused, his tone sincere: "Later, I hope there will still be a chance to discuss Dao and spar with you."

This was Ye Wuque's respect. He acknowledged Geshu Wenyue as a worthy opponent. Not only because he is the son of Geshu Wuyou, but also because Geshu Wenyue himself is an exceptionally pure, resilient‑hearted, Dark Heart‑steady, unparalleled blade cultivator.

Such a person, regardless of victory or defeat, deserves respect.

His future achievements are boundlessly limitless.

A flash of light passed through Geshu Wenyue's eyes, and he solemnly nodded: "It is indeed my wish, I dare not ask further."

And at that moment—

Buzz!

The Chaos Light Sphere that had been silently hovering, emitting only the Creation Dao Rhythm and otherwise motionless, suddenly quivered lightly!

That tremor, though seeming slight, appeared to trigger a resonance of the remaining laws of the secret realm!

The shattered Void rippled, the chaotic energy flow paused for an instant, and even the bottomless black hole seemed to contract slightly.

Ye Wuque and Geshu Wenyue simultaneously felt something, their gazes instantly focusing forward.

They saw that Chaos Light Sphere, about three zhang in diameter, its surface swirling with myriad rosy lights suddenly became unusually lively, flowing merrily as if it possessed life.

Within the sphere, the endless scenes of worlds' birth and death, the evolution of all things, became unprecedentedly clear, as if ready to reveal all mysteries.

Then, under the two's gaze.

That sphere, representing the ultimate mystery of Creation, rare through ages, capable of driving Titans of all ages to madness, the Holy Law Origin…

moved.

It was no longer merely drifting in place, but like a sentient being, slowly yet resolutely… floated toward Ye Wuque's direction.

There was no earth‑shaking clamor, no dazzling radiance.

Only a sense of things falling into place, natural and effortless.

The Holy Law Origin, ancient and majestic, unfathomably mysterious, involving the universe's most core primordial mysteries.

From antiquity to the present, there has been a consensus.

The Holy Law Origin is an unsurpassable divine artifact that cannot be forcibly seized.

They seem to possess their own will and preferences, always the Holy Law choosing sentient beings, not the other way around.

One's own brilliance, fortune, talent, Tiandao compatibility… even the unseen destiny, all affect the Holy Law Origin's selection.

If one lacks sufficient qualification, even with the Holy Law Origin before them, they cannot refine its grasp, and may even be back‑fired upon.

And now, evidently, the earlier peak duel between Ye Wuque and Geshu Wenyue, Ye Wuque's display of the supreme potential of the Five Extreme Realm, the inclusive Chaos Great Dao, the indestructible Invincible Dao Heart, and his demeanor and respect when battling a strong opponent… has completely moved the spirit of this Creation Saint Method Origin.

This unsurpassable divine artifact made its own choice.

It chose Ye Wuque.
