Chapter 169: The Forbidden Truth of the Great Laws
The Forbidden Truth of the Great Laws
And to those crimson eyes, all of them were nothing more than...
Delicacies!!!
Victor’s face gradually became grim.
"The Great Laws of World... is wrong!!"
His voice echoed through the endless void.
For the first time since entering this strange place, genuine disbelief appeared in his eyes.
He felt an invisible shadow looming over all the realms.
The nine heavens.
The ten earths.
The three thousand great domains.
Countless worlds.
Endless star fields.
Every era had produced peerless prodigies.
Every generation had birthed unmatched geniuses.
There were cultivators who had devoted their entire lives to comprehending the Great Laws of World.
There were beings who had sacrificed everything in pursuit of higher realms.
There were emperors who believed they had reached the absolute summit.
But...
All of it was nothing more than a feast.
A feast prepared for that shadow seated above the Great Laws of World.
Victor’s mind raced.
And from the voices of those ancient corpses, he finally formed a terrifying hypothesis.
Even he felt a chill run down his spine.
"The Great Laws of World is twisted. All techniques are false. Could it be... that the current path of cultivation is entirely wrong?!"
His voice was low.
But the question itself felt like a thunderclap.
"Mortal Forging, Spiritual Awakening, Arcane Meridian Realm, Celestial Gate Realm... all of these realms are WRONG!!"
Countless star rivers seemed to shift within Victor’s eyes.
The cultivation path walked by countless beings.
The paths extended by countless prodigies.
The foundations upon which entire civilizations had been built.
Could all of it truly be wrong?
The realization was horrifying.
If anyone else learned what Victor had just discovered, the shock would be immeasurable.
Everything across the nine heavens, ten earths, and three thousand great domains would be overturned in an instant.
The entire cultivation system would collapse.
The foundations of countless sects would become meaningless.
The pride of countless ancient clans would turn into dust.
The path of cultivation had been twisted.
What despair.
What terror.
Even Victor had walked this wrong path.
Yet there was one difference.
Unlike every other cultivator...
Victor had a chance to start over.
That chance was the Forbidden Art—
Ninefold Reversal of the Zenith.
As the vast flood of understanding continued pouring into his mind, the true nature of the Forbidden Art gradually revealed itself.
It could reshape everything.
It could forge a path unique to its user alone.
A path that had never existed before.
A path unprecedented throughout history.
The only...
"Correct" path.
Victor’s breathing gradually steadied.
The changes within him became clearer.
Every mystery he had once struggled to understand suddenly appeared before him like a transparent page.
Then a realization surfaced.
"The realms below Stellar Sovereign are not wrong. They lay the foundation for what comes after. What is truly wrong begins at Stellar Sovereign!"
Victor’s eyes flashed.
Stellar Sovereign.
That was the turning point.
After reaching Stellar Sovereign, cultivators condensed stars within their bodies.
They forged fragments of law upon each star.
Only at this stage did one truly step onto the deeper path of cultivation.
And it was precisely at this stage...
That everything became twisted.
An unspeakable and terrifying existence perched above the Great Laws of World.
Corrupting everything that followed.
Victor’s expression darkened.
"What should I do..." Victor whispered.
His voice sounded strangely small within that endless wasteland.
Then—
The void trembled.
Towering figures manifested before his eyes.
They stretched across countless star rivers.
Suns and moons were nothing more than ornaments beside them.
The Great Laws of World itself hung beneath their feet like obedient pets.
Victor stared at them.
It was impossible to imagine what kind of beings could wield such power.
Their very existence seemed capable of crushing reality.
Then one of those ancient figures spoke.
"You who come after... all rests upon you."
Victor’s eyes narrowed.
Another voice followed.
"Between heaven and eternity, only you have reached this place."
The figures stood like eternal monuments.
"Witness our... paths..."
"And then... become the One!!"
One by one, those terrifying figures became clearer.
Yet their faces remained hidden.
Some invisible force concealed their features.
Something beyond rules.
Beyond the Great Laws of World itself.
Victor could not see them.
But he could feel their power.
Then—
One figure stepped forward.
Stars fell around him like rain.
Every movement he made caused endless brilliance to gather.
He forged his Great Law of World into stars.
One star.
Then another.
Countless stars.
Until he became the Lord of Stars himself.
All brilliance resided within him.
The figure stood at the center of the star river like an eternal sovereign.
Then he slowly faded.
Another being appeared.
This one possessed an immense physical form.
No grand phenomenon surrounded him.
No stars revolved around his body.
No divine light illuminated his arrival.
There was only his flesh.
Yet Victor’s expression changed the instant he sensed him.
Every wisp of his blood and spiritual energy thundered with countless laws.
His body rivaled heaven and earth.
A single strand of his hair could annihilate all creation.
He had perfected his own form.
He did not control the Great Laws of World.
He...
WAS the Great Laws of World.
All worlds bowed before him.
Then the figure disappeared.
A mysterious pattern emerged in the void.
Victor’s eyes locked onto it.
In that instant, as though some forbidden power had been triggered, endless divine patterns and Great Laws of World rhythms surged wildly through the darkness.
The towering figure vanished.
In his place appeared a figure dressed in white robes.
He walked beyond the star river.
Wherever he passed, divine formations paved his way.
Countless gods wailed.
Stars and worlds were reduced to mere corners within his array.
Victor watched in silence.
One terrifying existence after another appeared before him.
Each revealed a completely different path.
Each path was terrifying.
Each path seemed to represent the ultimate possibility of existence.
And one after another...
They displayed their paths before Victor.
