Chapter 937: Willpower as Blade
The power of Yun Yao's will seeped into the Heavenly Dao Compass like a gossamer thread, and the runes on the surface of the Book of Laws suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light. The Spacetime Hunter Leader's pupils suddenly contracted, and the twelve suspended divine images behind him began to crumble piece by piece. This was his innate magical power, which he had spent thousands of years to condense!
"Impossible! Cultivators below the Rule Realm simply cannot shake the laws of the Divine Realm!" The leader roared in a rage tinged with undisguised fear. He raised his hands and formed seals, attempting to recall the dissipating power of the Dharmakaya, but saw the golden dots drawn to the Book of Laws in Yun Yao's hand as if drawn by a magnet.
Chu Mochen held the Guardian's Oath in his hand, and a colorful halo emanated from his sword, syncing with Yun Yao's. He keenly sensed that Yun Yao's aura at this moment was completely different from when she broke through the Hongmeng Secret Realm. Back then, the Hongmeng purple energy carried the vastness of the beginning of creation, but now it surged with a fresh warmth, as if the heartbeats of millions of living beings were resonating.
At this moment, the system's warning suddenly sounded in Yun Yao's sea of consciousness: "It has been detected that the leader of the time and space hunters is burning his origin and trying to activate the forbidden technique of the divine realm, 'Judgment of Falling Stars'!" Before the words fell, the sky suddenly became as dark as night, and countless meteorites emitting a breath of destruction tore through the void, falling with a pressure that was enough to annihilate a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm.
"In my name, may all beings be safe!" Yun Yao bit her tongue and sprayed her blood, brimming with the power of her will, onto the book of laws. A rainbow stretched from the pages, transforming into a curtain of light that obscured the sky. The moment the falling meteorite touched the curtain, it strangely blossomed into harmless starlight, like dazzling fireworks at a festival.
Seeing this, the other members of the Spacetime Hunters summoned their respective divine weapons. For a moment, the void was stained a mottled blood-red, as the power of various laws intertwined into a deadly strangulation. At this moment, Yun Yao closed her eyes, and her spiritual awareness spread like a tide across the entire Yunlan Realm.
She saw Xiao Cui, the Life Priestess, using her healing arts to heal injured monks. She saw the Patriarch of the Tempering Body Sect leading his disciples in a defensive formation. She also saw Liu Yan'er standing atop the Hall of Karma, her fingertips entwined with interwoven gray-black and pure white threads, weaving a web of causality that defied the laws of the divine realm. A gentle smile played upon Yun Yao's lips. These vibrant lives were the source of her strength.
When she opened her eyes again, they were no longer a single purple or gold hue, but a riot of color. Yun Yao gently waved the Book of Laws, and a beam of light imbued with the power of countless faiths shot up into the sky, condensing in the air into a gigantic "Protect" character. The whistling divine artifacts lost control the moment they touched the inscription, suspended in the air and beginning to disintegrate and reassemble, ultimately transforming into tiny streams of light that merged with the laws of the Yunlan Realm.
"This is impossible..." the leader's voice was already tinged with tears. His proud hunting team was now unable to even break through the enemy's defenses. Even more terrifying was the feeling that his connection to the laws of the divine realm was being severed by some force.
At that moment, Yun Yao suddenly appeared before him. Her figure seemed illusory, yet it held an undeniable reality. "You say that those below the Rule Realm cannot challenge the laws of the Divine Realm?" Yun Yao's voice was gentle, yet it made the leader tremble uncontrollably. "But you've forgotten that faith and love transcend all rules."
The leader suddenly grinned: "Even if you can stop us, the army of the God Realm will be here soon! Do you think that a small Yunlan Realm can fight against the entire Three Thousand God Realms?" His body began to swell, and he was obviously preparing to inflict heavy damage to the Yunlan Realm by self-destructing.
At the critical moment, a gray shadow flashed by. Liu Yan'er had appeared behind the leader without anyone noticing, the thread of karma in her hand precisely piercing his vital point. "Unfortunately, your causal thread has reached its end," Liu Yan'er said coldly, a complex glint in her eyes. Once, she too had been a puppet controlled by the Void Heavenly Dao, but now she had personally ended the fate of another soul bound by the laws.
The leader turned in disbelief. "You...you actually betrayed the divine realm?" His body began to become transparent, gradually dissipating into the air. Liu Yan'er looked at her hands, as if confirming this hard-earned freedom.
The moment the battle ended, the Yunlan Realm fell into an eerie silence. Chu Mochen sheathed his sword and walked over to Yun Yao. He could sense that Yun Yao's aura had undergone a fundamental shift—she no longer relied solely on the Primordial Purple Qi or the power of nothingness, but had found her own path.
"Yao'er, you just created a miracle." Chu Mochen said softly.
Yun Yao shook her head and looked at the monks who were cheering in the distance: "This is not a miracle created by me alone, it is created by every life in the Yunlan Realm." She raised the book of laws, and the pages automatically opened. A line of glowing words emerged: The law of willpower, based on the wishes of all living beings and guided by the heart of great love, can transform all things and protect all living things.
At this moment, a majestic divine sense suddenly enveloped the entire Yunlan Realm. Yun Yao's heart was shocked. This aura... was her father, the Lord of Heaven!
"My son, it seems you've truly grasped it." The Lord of Heaven spoke with a touch of relief. "The Law of Willpower is one of the most fundamental powers in the universe, but it was so difficult to control that it was sealed away. I never expected you to awaken it in such a short time."
Yun Yao was about to respond when she suddenly sensed a hint of pain within the Heavenly Dao Master's consciousness. Alarm bells rang in her heart: "Father, are you injured?"
After a brief silence, the voice of the Lord of Heaven rang out again: "The war in the Three Thousand Divine Realms has reached a fever pitch. The remnants of the Void Heavenly Dao are wreaking havoc everywhere. I... am afraid I can't hold out for much longer."
Yun Yao clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms: "Father! I will bring the power of the Yunlan Realm to support you!"
"No need." The Lord of Heaven spoke with unquestionable resolve. "The Yunlan Realm is the hope of the future, and we must not take risks lightly. Just remember, protecting the world you created is the greatest comfort to me."
The moment her consciousness dissipated, Yun Yao felt a sharp pain in her heart. She had never imagined that her once almighty father could have such a fragile side.
"Yao'er, don't worry." Chu Mochen held her hand. "Our current strength is enough to cope with many challenges. And..." He looked at the monks from the Yunlan Realm who were gathering in the distance. "We are never fighting alone."
Yun Yao took a deep breath and pulled herself together. She raised the Book of Laws and said loudly, "People of the Yunlan Realm! The crisis of the Divine Realm may be imminent, but as long as we work together, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome! From today on, we must not only protect our own homeland, but also become the hope of the entire Hongmeng Universe!"
A tsunami-like response echoed, and the power of wishes converged like a tidal wave. Yun Yao felt this power, and an unprecedented determination surged in her heart. Once, she was just an ordinary person who had traveled through time; now, she carried the hopes of countless lives. Perhaps this was the mission bestowed upon her by Heaven.
Liu Yan'er stepped forward and handed a wooden box to Yun Yao. "This is the first novel you wrote in the world of cultivation. I've kept it. It says in it, 'True strength is to give every life the freedom to choose.' Now it seems that you have achieved it."
Yun Yao took the wooden box, her thoughts returning to the days when she first arrived in the world of cultivation. Back then, she struggled for survival; now, she was fighting for the fate of the entire universe. The trajectory of fate was truly marvelous.
"Let's go." Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen, "Let's go and reinforce the defenses of the Yunlan Realm. No matter how many challenges lie ahead, I believe that as long as we are together, there is nothing to fear."
Chu Mochen nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. The two walked side by side toward the temple, followed by the cheering people. Above them, a rainbow of auspicious clouds lingered, a beautiful testament to the Law of Will. And outside the Yunlan Realm, a greater storm was quietly brewing...
