Chapter 1169
"If you want to divide every region into a world, then the forces that make up this world are the forces and the rules that naturally arise under the influence of those forces. All these years, I have been doing things that break the rules. These rules are like the rules of heaven and earth now. What I want to do, what suits me, is to break these rules that have formed, to break the … rules of heaven and earth."
Zi Chen's words were very straightforward and easy to understand. Xing Dao Li completely understood. However, these words had undoubtedly completely overturned his outlook on life.
As a Divine Prime expert, he naturally knew that this sentence was not absolute. However, at the same time, he also knew that there were rules in heaven and earth, and it was these rules that maintained this world.
But now, Zi Chen said that he wanted to break the rules.
How to break the rules? How to break them?
After breaking the rules, would he break this world? At that time, what realm would he be in?
Earth Prime.
Divine Prime.
Xing Dao Li was very puzzled because this had completely overturned his understanding.
Zi Chen looked up at the sky and said, "I don't know if there is a rule called destruction among the thousands of rules, but if there isn't, I think that from today onwards, there will be one more rule in heaven and earth, and that is the rule of destruction."
"Rules are everywhere."
As soon as he finished speaking, rules flickered around Zi Chen's body. The rules of heaven and earth began to surge, and black clouds appeared above Zi Chen's head. This was a sign of tribulation transcendence.
When the rules appeared in the sky, an extremely mysterious aura suddenly appeared on Zi Chen's body. In Xing Dao Li's perception, Zi Chen seemed to have become an Earth Prime expert at this moment.
Just as the rules were about to reach him, Zi Chen smiled. He formed a sword with two fingers and slashed at the rules in front of him.
A ray of light flashed. This was a light of energy with an extremely mysterious power. He cut open the void, cut through the rules, and then destroyed the complete rules.
These broken rules turned into an incomplete power of the rules and fused into Zi Chen's body, being absorbed by Zi Chen.
The laws disappeared, and the tribulation clouds in the sky dissipated. The strange and inexplicable aura on Zi Chen's body also disappeared.
Xing Dao Li's eyes widened as he looked at Zi Chen in disbelief. He lost his composure and exclaimed, "You … you just used the power of Earth Essence. You severed the rules and even absorbed them. Could it be that you broke through?"
To be able to make Xing Dao Li lose his composure, it was clear how shocking Zi Chen's finger light was.
In fact, at this moment, not only Xing Dao Li, but all the people at Earth Prime and above would be shocked by what they had just seen. Because this scene went against the rules of the world and defied common sense. This feeling was like a cultivator saying that he could still cultivate without the help of the cultivation methods of this world, without the help of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and without the Spiritual Qi of this world.
It was also like an ordinary person holding a woodcutter and saying that he could chop an Earth Prime to death. In the end, he really did chop an Earth Prime to death with the woodcutter.
Xing Dao Li lost his composure because of Zi Chen's actions. However, in Zi Chen's eyes, this was a matter of course. He shook his head and said, "I haven't transcended the tribulation, nor have I broken through. I just temporarily borrowed the power of Earth Prime."
The power of Earth Prime was the power of rules. Unfortunately, Zi Chen did not believe in rules, so there were no rules in his power. It was just pure Earth Prime.
Xing Dao Li's shocked expression took a long time to recover. He sighed and said, "Terrifying, really terrifying. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that a strange monster like you would appear in this world?"
Zi Chen had said a lot today, and Xing Dao Li could understand all of it. However, understanding and completely understanding were two different things.
It was just like how many years ago Zi Chen had known that the chicken came first. Back then, he had been very sure, and now he was still sure. However, the former and the latter were completely different.
And now, Zi Chen had comprehended the law of destruction. Xing Dao Li had personally seen it. Could it be that he could also be like Zi Chen, raising his head and shouting the word 'destruction', and the law of destruction would appear?
That required him to personally comprehend it.
Zi Chen's explanation was very clear. However, Xing Dao Li did not understand. That was because his path was completely different from Zi Chen's.
Previously, Zi Chen had said that everyone had the right to choose a law that suited them. However, that was not absolute.
The Martial Heaven Continent's Earth Prime, as well as the Earth Primes of another world, were probably countless. However, out of all those Earth Primes, how many people's laws suited them the most?
After comprehending their first law, they no longer had the right to choose. They could only passively accept it.
The reason Zi Chen had a choice was because he had the ability to resist the law. That ability was the perfect essence, qi, and soul created by the three pages of the Heavenly Book.
Seeing Xing Dao Li sit at the peak and sink into thought, Zi Chen didn't disturb him. Instead, he walked into the distance.
If he wanted to, he could continue comprehending the world's myriad laws. He could comprehend them all in a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years.
However, to Zi Chen, who didn't care about the law, comprehending these laws was meaningless.
The old ox appeared over the horizon, pulling a carriage. After following Zi Chen for hundreds of years, he had been shocked time and time again by Zi Chen. Now, he felt even more admiration for Zi Chen.
"Boss, where are we going now?" asked the old ox as he walked over to Zi Chen.
"To the eastern continent."
Zi Chen was already used to the old ox calling him boss. There was no way around that. He had called him boss for hundreds of years. Even if he wasn't used to it, he had to.
"Why are we going there? Shouldn't we be returning to the southern continent?"
The old ox was very confused. For hundreds of years, the two of them had often chatted. He naturally knew that Zi Chen's foundation was in the southern continent.
"We're going to get something that belongs to me. That way, my success rate of passing the lightning tribulation will increase by ten percent," said Zi Chen calmly.
Although Zi Chen's explanation to Xing Dao Li was clear and logical, and he had indeed reached this step and even deceived the heavens, this was only temporary. If he wanted to break through to the Earth Yuan Stage, he would still need to be recognized by the heavens and earth and undergo the baptism of the lightning tribulation.
And for this kind of existence that went against the will of the heavens, the lightning tribulation would definitely not be polite. Therefore, before going through the tribulation, Zi Chen had to be fully prepared.
The old ox followed Zi Chen and saw how extraordinary he was. Naturally, he also knew that his lightning tribulation would be unusual. However, finding something that could increase the success rate by ten percent made him very curious. Therefore, he asked, "Boss, what is it?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Zi Chen sat in the carriage. The old ox pulled the carriage through the air and headed straight for the eastern continent. Of course, they didn't go in a straight line. When they passed by a city on the way, they would use the teleportation formation there.
Ten days later, the old ox crossed the continent and arrived at a human city.
After that, the old ox received Zi Chen's instructions and walked out of the city. Many people noticed the carriage that came out of the teleportation formation. Immediately, their faces were filled with curiosity and curiosity. They were all guessing who it was that actually spent so much effort to teleport a carriage.
After a thousand years of fighting, the area where the city was located was already the last pure land. The rest of the area was occupied by the demons.
And the place Zi Chen was heading to this time was the demons' territory.
Just as they entered the demons' territory, some demons discovered the unique old ox. Many black figures came from afar and surrounded the carriage.
"Who is it? Come down."
"This is the demons' territory. Come out quickly."
All of the devilish beings yelled at the sight of this unfamiliar carriage.
"Is the princess in the Demon Sect City?" Zi Chen's voice came from the carriage.
Hearing the princess, the demons' expressions changed. Then, weapons appeared in their hands. Their expressions became serious and solemn.
"Let's go." The demons' attitude was clear. Zi Chen signaled the old ox to go forward.
But the demons blocked the way. One of them shouted, "If you don't state your purpose, don't blame us for being impolite."
As soon as the demons finished speaking, the old ox was furious. He shouted, "Scram!"
A thunderous roar sounded, and a sound wave spread out in all directions. The demons flew back and coughed up blood. After falling to the ground, they looked at the old ox in shock.
With just a roar, they were defeated. Naturally, they knew how terrifying this person was. So, without another word, they fled toward the Demon Sect City.
The old ox began to walk slowly. Not long after, streams of light appeared. Many demons had arrived.
But after the old ox glanced at the demons, he said angrily, "Scram, trash. Go and find the princess. Tell her that Lord Zi Chen is here. Ask her to come and welcome him personally."
This attitude made the demons furious. As for the name Zi Chen, they only felt that it was familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had heard it from.
But the wild old ox had a terrifying aura. They didn't dare to get close. They could only retreat again.
"Zi Chen." In the Demon Sect City, the princess raised her eyebrows when she heard this name.
A thousand years had passed, and this name had disappeared from the cultivation world. But she didn't expect that this person would appear again after a thousand years.
But why did he come here? And at this time, shouldn't he be in the Wuji Sect?
The princess was very puzzled. But since Zi Chen was looking for her, she had to go out and take a look. Of course, if possible, she didn't mind leaving this person behind forever. Because the princess had a feeling that this person would be a great enemy of the demons.
After the princess appeared, five powerhouses of the Earth Prime Demon Clan appeared outside the city. They stood in the air and looked at the old ox warily.
As for the old ox, his eyes were full of disdain when he glanced at them.
He had followed Zi Chen for a thousand years, and he had also grown. He wasn't afraid of this kind of trash even if they joined forces.
Zi Chen didn't appear in the carriage until the princess brought people over.
The curtain was lifted, and Zi Chen walked out. He was still dressed in black, and he didn't seem to have changed much from a thousand years ago.
As for the princess, she was also dressed in tight-fitting black clothes. Her tall figure was accentuated by the black clothes. She was still noble and cold.
"It's you. I didn't expect you to appear again after a thousand years. You actually came to find me," the princess said to Zi Chen.
