Chapter 208: Supreme, Law and Order

Inside Yu Liang’s Sea of Consciousness, the seventy first Heavenly Dao Rune was slowly imprinting by the System.

The rune was named Supreme.

It did not shine with dazzling golden light like the previous runes. Instead, it was completely dark, like a black sun hanging above the Soul Palace.

Around it, there were faint golden edges, as if the Heavenly Dao itself had been forced to outline something it did not want to exist.

The moment this rune touched the central space of the Soul Palace, the entire palace shook violently.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The walls trembled and the pillars trembled.

The Dao runes already imprinted on the Soul Palace also trembled, as if they were subjects sensing the arrival of an emperor.

Yu Liang’s expression changed slightly, but before that pressure could truly affect him, the alredy Imprinted runes formed a natural connection.

The next moment, the terrifying pressure was forcibly pressed down to nothing.

The seventy first rune smoothly sank into the center of the Soul Palace.

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 71 ]

Yu Liang let out a deep breath. Even with the runes protecting him, he could still faintly sense that something changed.

The seventy first rune was not just one more rune. It was like... he had stepped across a boundary that the had been set for all living beings.

Before seventy runes, he was still inside the rules.

After seventy runes, he was already walking outside them.

The System immediately began the next imprint.

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 72 ]

The seventy second rune appeared like a golden crown. It fused into the upper beam of the Soul Palace, and an invisible imperial pressure spread through Yu Liang’s foundation.

This was not the pressure of a mortal emperor.

It was the pressure of a ruler standing above the Thousands of Daos.

Then came the seventy third.

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Will" successful ]

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 73 ]

The Rune of Will entered the main hall of the Soul Palace. In an instant, Yu Liang felt his Dao heart become firmer. His own will, his own desire, his own path, all became clearer.

The heavens could suppress him even the laws could reject him.

But his wil, it would not bow.

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Seal" successful ]

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 74 ]

The seventy fourth rune turned into countless thin golden chains, wrapping around the outer walls of the Soul Palace.

These chains did not restrict Yu Liang. Instead, they stabilized the palace, sealing the overflowing Dao fluctuations inside.

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Law" successful ]

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 75 ]

The seventy fifth rune was like a golden scroll. It unfolded above the Soul Palace, and all the other runes seemed to become more orderly.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Sword, Saber, Space, Time, Life, Death, everything started to arrange themselves according to a deeper law.

[ Ding! Deducting 20,000 System Points. ]

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Order" successful ]

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 76 ]

The Rune of Order entered the palace foundation. The chaotic shaking reduced slightly, but the pressure coming from outside became even more terrifying.

It was as if the Heavenly Dao realized that this cultivator was not going to stop.

[ Ding! Deducting 20,000 System Points ]

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Destruction" successful ]

A black red rune burned itself onto the western side of the Soul Palace. Wherever its light passed, cracks appeared in the void, as if the palace itself was being tested by the force of annihilation.

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 77 ]

[ Ding! Deducting 20,000 System Points. ]

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Creation" successful ]

Immediately after destruction came creation.

A green gold rune bloomed like the first lotus of the world. The cracks started repairing themselves. The palace became even stronger than before.

Destruction and creation formed a terrifying cycle.

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 78 ]

[ Ding! Deducting 20,000 System Points. ]

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Silence" successful. ]

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 79. ]

The seventy ninth rune was colorless and as as expected soundless.

The moment it entered the Soul Palace, all the roaring Dao sounds disappeared. Yu Liang’s Sea of Consciousness became extremely quiet.

The noisy atmosphere instantly calm down, even he himself found himself with advantage of going into mediation state extremely easy.

Then the eightieth rune descended.

[ Ding! Deducting 20,000 System Points ]

[ Imprinting Heavenly Dao Rune "Boundary" successful ]

Boom!

The eightieth rune fused into the outer perimeter of the Soul Palace.

At this moment, Yu Liang’s Soul Palace seemed to form a complete domain of its own. It was no longer just a palace inside his consciousness. It was like a small world embryo, separated from the outside heavens.

[ Current Soul Palace Rune Count: 80 ]

And outside, the world once again changed greatly.

Above Jade City, the calamity clouds that originally covered fifty miles suddenly expanded at terrifying rate!

Seventy miles!

The black red cloud vortex spread across the sky like a monstrous mouth swallowing the heavens even the mountains outside Jade City became dim, as if someone had placed a huge black bowl over the world.

The spiritual energy in the air became chaotic.

Flying cultivators lost control of their artifacts and fell from the sky.

Spirit beasts in the forest lay on the ground while trembling, not even daring to move.

The mortals in the outer city were even more miserable. They could not understand cultivation, but their instincts told them that the end of the world had arrived. Many people knelt on the ground and prayed to the heavens, crying bitterly.

In the Inner City, the Zhao Family estate shook violently.

The Second Elder rushed out of the hall and looked at the sky. His face was as ghostly.

"Seventy miles... the calamity cloud expanded to seventy miles! What kind of disaster is this?!"

Zhao Wuji also stood in the courtyard as his whole body trembled in fear.

His eyes were filled with horror too.

As the Master of the Formation Peak of the Sect, he understood more than ordinary elders.

This was not your average normal tribulation cloud as normal tribulation clouds gathered because the heavens tested a cultivator.

But this cloud... it was not testing, It’s as if trying to destroy something.

"This is Heavenly Dao killing intent," Zhao Wuji whispered hoarsely. "Something impossible has appeared and The heavens want to erase it."

After saying this, his own heart trembled.

What kind of existence could make the heavens want to erase it directly?

At the same time, in the Heaven’s Table, Mei Hua stood on the upper balcony.

The reconstruction drawings were still spread out on the table behind her, but her attention was completely on the sky.

Xiaoxiao stood beside her, her face slightly pale.

"Madam... is this related to that Heavenly Phenomenon?"

Mei Hua’s eyes flashed with terrifying light.

She could faintly feel a connection from the private courtyard. That aura was extremely hidden, but because of her bond with Yu Liang, she could sense that the center of all this terrifying pressure was her husband.

Her heart tightened. But soon, she clenched her fists and calmed down.

’My husband is doing something important,’ Mei Hua thought. ’No one is allowed to disturb him.’

Then her Nascent Soul aura spread out fully.

"Activate all defensive formations of the Heaven’s Table. Comfort the customers. Tell the managers to stabilize their shops. Anyone who panics and causes chaos will be punished."

Xiaoxiao immediately bowed.

"Yes, Madam!"

Mei Hua looked at the private courtyard again, her were eyes gentle but firm.

"Husband... I believe in you."
