Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

The behemoth remained silent.

But it slowly lowered its head, and the five-colored wheel stopped spinning in its eyes, as if confirming something.

Then it turned and walked deeper into the passage.

The silver-gray figure strode through the void, each step steady and powerful.

After taking a few steps, it turned back and glanced at Chen Xing—

There was no hostility in that glance, only a sense of relief, as if a mission had been accomplished.

It's like a wait of ten thousand years has finally come to an end today.

Then its figure disappeared into the depths of the void.

The light of the Five Elements Laws slowly faded in the direction in which it disappeared.

When Chen Xing returned to the deck of the Liming, the other battles had already ended.

Su Tao's peach petals are slowly closing, and the golden light on the petals is gradually fading away.

Lei Qingyue's lightning ring re-entered her body, and the six-colored electric arcs jumped a few times at her fingertips before extinguishing.

The greatsword of Sword Without Trace still retained the warmth of the battle, and the blade was slightly hot.

Shen Yan was dealing with the remaining ancient beasts, his ice spear in hand, each shot hitting a vital point with pinpoint accuracy.

They finished work quickly.

The Liming continued forward, passing through the Ancient Beast Corridor.

The view ahead suddenly opened up—a wasteland composed of huge, broken stone slabs stretched out in the void.

The stone slab is covered with ancient characters eroded by time.

Like an inscription weathered by wind and rain for millennia, some characters are already blurred and illegible.

Only marks of varying depths remain.

In the center of the wasteland stood a stone tablet several times taller than the other stone slabs.

The monument soars into the clouds, its surface as smooth as a mirror.

It stands in stark contrast to the surrounding heavily weathered stone slabs.

The stele is inscribed with a line of large characters written in an extremely ancient common language, the characters vigorous and powerful.

It looks like it was carved stroke by stroke with a knife:

"The core area of ​​the Myriad Ruins Starfield is only open to those who have passed the 'Trial of the Heart'."

Below the inscription was a seal of law, within which flowed an aura of law never seen before—

It's like a new substance born from the mixing of all known laws.

Both familiar and strange, standing before this seal.

You can feel a gentle yet irresistible sense of scrutiny.

Mu Xiyan walked to the stone tablet, carefully read the inscription, and then...

There was a rare hesitation in her voice; her usually composed tone held a hint of uncertainty.

"The trial of the heart... is not a trial of strength."

The entrance to the Myriad Ruins Starfield has not only a strength threshold—there is another kind of threshold.

It doesn't care about your cultivation level, your weapon, or your battle record.

It only cares about what's in your heart.

Our clan's ancient texts mention that some powerful individuals possessed cultivation levels that reached the heavens.

But this seal kept them outside, because their hearts were filled with too many things they shouldn't have.

She looked at Chen Xing.

"This law seal will adjust according to your state of mind."

They will decide whether to let you pass.

If your heart is filled with greed, obsession, and hatred—

The seal will bounce you away and may even trigger a counterattack.

But if what's on your mind is...

She didn't finish speaking because she saw Chen Xing already place his hand on the seal.

His palm was pressed against the surface of the seal, and the light of laws flowed in his palm.

The seal beneath his palm first trembled violently, like a struggling living thing.

The patterns on the surface surged wildly, as if trying to discern something.

Then it gradually calms down, and the patterns change from violent disturbances to a smooth flow.

The large characters on the stone tablet began to change; the original characters gradually became blurred.

Then it coalesced again, becoming a new line of text with only four characters: "For the sake of others."

The seal of that law on the stone tablet slowly cracked, like two doors sliding open to the sides.

A path of light was revealed, leading into the depths.

A bluish-white light flowed along the path of light, leading to the end of the line of sight.

Su Tao stood behind Chen Xing, peach petals swirling gently between her fingertips.

Golden light danced on the petals. When she spoke, her voice held a hint of curiosity:

What were you thinking just now?

Chen Xing didn't turn around. His voice came from ahead, not loud but clear.

Echoing along the path of light:

"Thinking about how far we can go on the road ahead."

I'm wondering what the people in the Qitian Palace will eat for dinner.

I'm wondering if there are any opportunities in the Myriad Ruins Starfield that could help everyone become stronger. I've thought about it a lot.

He paused for a moment, then added, "But the most numerous item is the road."

The five of them stepped into the path of light at the same time—ahead lay the core area of ​​the Myriad Ruins Starfield.

An entire ancient city is suspended in the void, awaiting their arrival.

The outline was faintly visible in the light.

Like a colossal beast that has slept for millennia, it has finally found someone to open the door.

……

The path of light stretched out beneath our feet for about fifteen minutes.

The five arrived at an ancient city that was suspended in the void.

The city was built of a grayish-white stone.

The surface has been eroded by the wind laws of millennia, leaving countless fine lines etched into the wall.

Like a history book that has been turned over countless times by the wind.

The outline of the city remains intact, and the city gates are wide open.

An ancient inscription is carved above the lintel; the characters are vigorous and powerful, yet carry an indescribable sense of loneliness:

"The Fallen City - the last city in the Myriad Ruins Starfield with living creatures."

The walls on both sides of the city gate were densely covered with countless messages of plea for help and farewells.

Some of the handwriting is neat like an inscription on a monument, while others are messy like a final message left on one's deathbed.

The handwriting was clear and neat:

"The wind has changed. The laws are devouring us."

We tried everything, but the wind outside the city gates no longer protects us.

Another line of text trembled and twisted:

"We can't get out. If anyone sees these words,

Please remember—the vacuum is not the enemy; it is alive. It is waiting for us to leave.

There was also a line of writing that looked like it had been carved with a fingernail.

Every stroke carries a bone-chilling despair:

"In the second millennium, I still haven't found my way home."

The ancient city of Fengfei is a prison.

Su Tao's peach petals trembled slightly as she approached the city gate.

Golden light danced on the petals, and she whispered:

"These words... seem to have been written a very, very long time ago, so long ago that the person who carved them is no longer around."

How desperate they must have felt when they wrote these words.

The five people passed through the city gate and entered the interior of the ancient city of Fengyun.

Most of the buildings in the city were intact, the streets were neatly paved, and all the doors and windows were tightly closed.

The streets were deserted, with only the wind blowing through the alleyways.

It emitted a low, mournful sound, like the breath of an empty city.

The flagstones on the road were worn smooth and shiny, showing that many people had walked on them in the past.

But those footprints have long been blown away by the wind.

Mu Xiyan's gaze swept across the walls on both sides of the street, and she reached out to run her hand over the patterns on the walls.

His voice held a hint of contemplation: "The patterns of laws on these walls were not formed naturally."

They were forcibly altered by some external force—

Someone is using the law of vacuum to reshape the city's legal structure.

It's like turning a once vibrant city into an empty shell.

Lei Qingyue's lightning ring glowed faintly behind her, arcs of electricity leaping in the air and emitting a soft crackling sound.

"I felt something was watching us from the shadows."

It's not an illusion—it's a feeling of being locked in.

It was as if something in the darkness was focusing its attention on us.
