Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

The Great Dao encompasses three thousand laws, each different and possessing its own profound mysteries. Among these laws, the laws of time and space are special; they are inescapable for any living being, yet they are among the most difficult laws to comprehend.

Lei Ming has traveled through several worlds and met countless cultivators. Few have achieved success in the laws of time and space, and only the legendary Great Immortal Yang Mei has reached the Hunyuan realm.

Even an old monster like Hongmeng could only suppress Leiming in terms of the laws of spacetime by borrowing the power of a spiritual treasure.

When Lei Ming attained enlightenment, he proclaimed himself the master of time and space, which was his pride. But now, this pride has been shattered by Hongjun.

"Of the three thousand laws, space reigns supreme, and time is the most important," said Ancestor Hongjun. "How could I, Ancestor, not master such profound laws?"

"Cultivating the laws of time and space requires special talent. Although I don't know your true form, I do know that you are not a demon god who controls these two laws." As Lei Ming spoke, he focused on healing the injuries in his body.

Hongjun Laozu knew that Lei Ming was stalling for time, but he didn't care at all.

"Talent?" Ancestor Hongjun shook his head with a smile. "Only low-level cultivators rely on talent. To reach the Heavenly Dao Realm, one must break free from the shackles of aptitude. Talent and aptitude are essentially the shackles that the Heavenly Dao has placed upon all living beings. Without breaking these shackles, how can one stand alongside the Heavenly Dao?"

"From what you're saying, it's as if you've already achieved the Heavenly Dao Realm," Lei Ming mocked. "Even if the primordial world shatters, you won't have that chance."

Hongjun Ancestor shook his head and said, "I will not argue with you. You have mastered the Body of Space and Time, which is your talent, but it is also your shackle. Unfortunately, you no longer have the chance to break it."

"I don't believe you're invincible." Lei Ming remained defiant, stretching out his right hand, and the Heaven-Opening Axe flew from afar. The returning Heaven-Opening Axe was unchanged, still as sharp as ever.

"The Nine Forms of Creation that Pangu used to create the primordial world can't hurt you, so I'll use the tenth form that I've comprehended myself!"

Lei Ming was never one to stick to the old ways. Whether it was a skill or a supernatural power, he would always transform it into his own and then innovate upon it.

Lei Ming had been studying the Nine Forms of Opening Heaven for countless years. Although he could perform them completely, he didn't consider them his own until he combined the previous nine forms to deduce the tenth form...

The Tenth Form of Creation is Lei Ming's own understanding of the creation of heaven and earth. This form is still based on Pangu's Nine Forms of Creation, but it has evolved into something new.

Lei Ming's face remained expressionless, and the Heaven-Opening Axe fell slowly, but this time, Hongjun Ancestor was much more serious.

Without any unusual phenomena, the Heaven-Opening Axe simply cleaved down, only uttering a thunderous roar as it reached its lowest point. Immediately afterward, chaos seemed to be disrupted, as waves of chaotic energy spread outwards from the Heaven-Opening Axe.

"That move is quite impressive." Hongjun Patriarch nodded. "You received the complete inheritance of Pangu's primordial spirit from the Three Pure Ones and mastered the true Nine Revolutions Profound Technique. But even if you rely on these to reach the pinnacle of Hunyuan, you are still no match for Pangu, because you are following his path. Seeing this move, you are already attempting to break Pangu's influence on you. Not bad!"

Hongjun the Ancestor seemed to be giving Lei Ming pointers, but Lei Ming didn't see it that way. Hongjun the Ancestor gave him the feeling that everything about him was exposed, that he had no secrets.

"So what if you're incredibly powerful! Now, there's only one path left: battle."

Lei Ming didn't think about anything. He merged all his mind with the Heaven-Opening Axe, and the Heaven-Opening Axe unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful force.

As the Heaven-Opening Axe fell, Hongjun Ancestor still wielded his whisk. This time, Lei Ming saw clearly that the whisk in Hongjun Ancestor's hand was not a magic weapon, but rather his understanding of the laws. Every thread on the whisk was a thread of law, forcibly drawn from the Heavenly Dao by Hongjun Ancestor. In the eyes of other Primordial Chaos Realm experts, this was simply unimaginable, but Hongjun Ancestor had accomplished it.

Not only that, but the Hongjun Ancestor also refined the extracted Law Threads into a magic weapon!

The threads of law struck towards the Heaven-Opening Axe, but this time the axe wasn't knocked away as before. The axe spun and struck the threads of law, severing one of the threads with a resounding clang.

Hongjun Laozu was also surprised to see this. In its complete state, the Heaven-Opening Axe could destroy the laws. Otherwise, Pangu would not have been able to kill the three thousand Chaos Demons.

However, the Heaven-Opening Axe has not yet reached its peak, and it is not Pangu who is using it but Lei Ming, which puzzles Hongjun Ancestor.

"Our ancestor comprehended three thousand laws, achieving a 70% mastery over one thousand of them, and even an 80% mastery over some. Even with the weakest law, our ancestor still controlled over 50%. Yet, you were able to sever the threads of law with the Heaven-Opening Axe." With a flick of his finger, the severed threads of law were reconnected.

Lei Ming felt immense pressure; the Hongjun Ancestor was simply too powerful. Any one of those threads of law was comparable to a supreme innate treasure, let alone so many connected together.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out, and the Heaven-Opening Axe was once again blasted away by the immense force. This time, Hongjun Ancestor did not give Lei Ming a chance, and directly entangled Lei Ming with the whisk in his hand.

"You separated the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Celestial Realm, causing a flaw in the Heavenly Dao. Then use your Spacetime World to mend it." Ancestor Hongjun held Leiming, who had no power to resist. "I know that the Spacetime World once had the Heavenly Dao you created, and now you are the Heavenly Dao of the Spacetime World. If your primordial spirit is extracted and integrated into the Spacetime World, and then merged with the Celestial Realm, this is equivalent to recreating the Primordial World."

After Hongjun the Ancestor finished speaking, he took Leiming back to the Primordial World. Leiming was still racking his brains for a way to escape when he saw Pingxin Niangniang and Luo Hou blocking Hongjun the Ancestor's way.

"You actually dare to come here." Hongjun Patriarch looked at Luo Hou. "Luo Hou, you were suppressed by me back then, and now that you've finally regained your freedom, you still dare to linger in the prehistoric world? Do you think I can't kill you?"

"Hongjun, stop talking big. If you could kill me, would you still be alive?" Rahu laughed loudly.

"Back then, our ancestor was held back by the Heavenly Dao, but now the Heavenly Dao has been refined by our ancestor. Why don't you run away?" said Ancestor Hongjun.

"Run away? If anyone's going to run, it's you! Don't be fooled by your immense power, Hongjun, which seems to be able to suppress the entire prehistoric world. In reality, there are people you're afraid of!" Luo Hou said.
