Yuan's Ascension

At this moment, within the Path of Ancients, all Legends of the River who had their Dao traces inscribed had awakened. The last to arrive were also the three most powerful since the Primordium.

"Destruction and Genesis!" Wu Yuan's body refiner self fought with all his might, feet upon the Abyss and head against the universe, once again unleashing his strongest killing move as his nine arms transformed into sabers.

In this pivotal moment, Wu Yuan's battle intent surged to an unparalleled zenith, his entire being ignited with raw, unbridled power as he waged a savage battle against Eldritch Progenitor Di Jiang, Great Emperor Yan Tuo, and the nine other formidable Legends of the River.

The sight was heart-shaking—nine Legends of the River, beings considered the pinnacle of sempiternal existence since the Primordium, found themselves utterly suppressed by a single individual.

This was merely the beginning.

"Dao pioneering!" Wu Yuan's laughter rang out, composed despite the chaos surrounding him. From the battle's first moments, he had been crystal clear about his goal: to pioneer a Dao amidst blood and conflict.

Nine guardians? Thirteen guardians? Even the imminent arrival of the Heavenly Imperator, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, and Goddess Nüwa could not shake his resolve.

My strength knows no equal! This was no empty boast, but a reflection of Wu Yuan's inner self—the culmination of hundreds of thousands of years of preparation. He had fully comprehended all Laws on the Path of Will, cultivated a thousand years on the Path of Ancients, and learned a thousand different ultimate techniques. Each experience, each battle had been a stepping stone, allowing him to draw from countless sources and establish a foundation of unimaginable depth.

These bloody battles were the final crucible, breaking through his last shackles and revealing his true potential. The moment of metamorphosis had arrived.

"Nüwa and the others have come."

"The Heavenly Imperator approaches."

"Kill! Defeat this challenger!"
