The first arrow blasted into the rift at exactly the same time as Ning Cheng’s shot, while the second arrow was in conjunction with Ye Mo’s Purple BLADE Curtain to tear the rift even wider.
At the peak of the furious tearing aura, the third arrow complemented it just right.
A crack of at most two feet long and half a foot wide appeared in the void, but the naked eye could clearly see that the crack began to shrink rapidly once it appeared. It was conceivable that in a few more breaths of time, the crack that had just appeared would disappear once again.
“Go!” The three of them rushed out almost at the same time. It took the simultaneous bursting of the four creation treasures, coupled with the powerful impact of the Bursting Formation, and the full strength of the three of them to blast open such a large gap, and if they waited for this gap to close up again, it would be almost impossible for them to tear open this side of space again.
In any spatial realm, if it is torn for the first time, that is when it is easiest. Once it has been torn once, a spatial realm with rules will automatically make up the rules and the next time it is torn, it will require some more effort. A spatial realm without rules will automatically diffuse just as much, making the realm stronger.
Besides, it is without these factors that the treasures of creation are not some rotten street that exists as much as it wants.
The three of them disappeared into that rift as three lines of shadows, and the next moment the rift was back to its original state once again.
……
As soon as Di Jiu rushed out of the crack he was frozen, it was the first time he had experienced a space where there was nothing, no, not even space.
He was really unable to feel the existence of space, he obviously existed in space, but he had a strange feeling, as if he himself did not exist, let alone space. Where could there be space if he himself did not exist?
Here the rules, the space-time, the colours, the clay everything was absent. It was not blackness, but an emptiness that transcended blackness. Yes, Di Jiu felt that empty was too apt a description, everything here was empty, or perhaps one should say that everything here was nothing.
If there was anything left, it was that his mind still existed. He could not cast his dao, he could not stretch his divine mind, he could not open his eyes including his dao pupils, yet his mind could still move.
Di Jiu huddled in place, feeling uncomfortable all over. He wanted so badly to stand up straight, and he found no space around him to stand up. If there was something in the way, he couldn’t feel what was in the way, it was an extremely uncomfortable feeling of emptiness.
As soon as he broke out of the rift, he seemed to be constantly being compressed, and Di Jiu suspected that after a little longer, his whole being would be compressed into nothingness and finally disappear.
What made him thankful was that he still existed after he rushed out of the crack.
Initially, Di Jiu even thought that it was the space that was compressing, and since the space was compressing, it meant that there was space here. But once he curled up, he understood that it wasn’t space that was compressing, but his meridians, his flesh and blood, his organs and bowels ……
It was everything in his own body that was automatically contracting and then most of it began to dissipate. One can imagine that his mind should be the last to dissipate.
“Ye Mo …… Ning Cheng ……” Di Jiu wanted to scream, and then he realized that he was unable to open his mouth, he was like a baby still in its mother’s body, helpless to the He was like a baby in its mother’s body, helpless to the extreme.
In just a short time, Di Jiu calmed down. Perhaps, this was where the real Chaos was. Chaos was not something that could be walked in, nor was it something that could be proved, nor was it something that could be cultivated.
Chaos, which could not survive any life at all, but a place that seemed to exist and seemed not to exist at the same time.
If the three of them had not rushed in, the chaos he was in would not have existed at all; just because the three of them had rushed in, the three of them existed here, or rather, the three of them existed in their place. When they disappeared, everything disappeared with them.
Once he had calmed down, Di Jiu quickly began to construct new rules of heaven and earth through his mind. He did not work through his own circumference, but through his mind to construct rules of heaven and earth outside where the chaos did not exist at all, through his understanding of the rules.
Time slowly faded away as Di Jiu built them again and again. No matter how many times he built it, it was as if it was mud into the sea, lifeless. But Di Jiu was not half anxious, as he continued to build the rules he understood over and over again. Under such circumstances, it was useless to rush. This kind of construction was the only thing he could do until he fell.
It was a way of building without using his divine essence, without using his divine thoughts, and without using his meridian circumference.
Perhaps, even if he wanted to use it, he would not be able to do so.
Day after day, year after year!
Di Jiu’s physical body was almost compressed to the extreme, and the whole person occupied not even a foot square, and his thoughts were gradually starting to blur.
Di Jiu still struggled to maintain a trace of lucidity, using his own thoughts to repeatedly and continuously construct the rules of the Great Dao as he understood them, constructing the rules of the universe of heaven and earth in his imagination ……
Perhaps one day he will die without being able to construct a complete rule, no, he will not even be able to construct a law, but he has no regrets. In one’s life, one must eventually face something that must be done, whether success or failure whether life or death, it was not something he could choose.
When Di Jiu’s consciousness was beginning to blur, he felt a hint of vitality, as if a small gra*s that was about to wither was starting to grow with the help of his rules.
After this hint of vitality was sensed by Di Jiu, his intention slowly cleared up from blurred once again. After Di Jiu caught the survival of this small gra*s with certainty, his heart was excited, he was sure that this was Ye Mo’s Avenue of All Creatures starting to diffuse.
If Ye Mo wanted to diffuse all things, if he was anywhere else, even any corner, he could quickly build a whole new world of all things. Just like his rule dao in general, if he wanted to reconstruct a universe rule world, it would also be swift and simple. This was because they could draw on the rules of the universe that already existed, only that the rules of the universe that existed were not theirs.
Unfortunately in this place, he could not build his own universe rule world with the help of the rules, just as Ye Mo could not diffuse his universal dao with the help of the universal diffusion.
The darkness only needed a match, and when a ray of light appeared, everything slowly became clear. All that was done next was just to add something else to this flame.
Just like Di Jiu, Ye Mo likewise did not use his own cosmic world to derive the life of all things, he was just as likely to derive that one that did not exist at all through his own intention.
This rootless place wanted to diffuse that completely impossible existent one. At this moment, Ye Mo could only hope that Di Jiu could construct new rules of heaven and earth at the same time, without the rules constructed by Di Jiu, he could only die here in the end. Without the rules constructed by Di Jiu, he could only end up here, and if he died, he would not be able to create the One.
When the One finally appeared out of thin air, Ye Mo’s almost sinking intention shook abruptly, and he knew that he had succeeded.
With one, everything became easy.
One gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, three gave birth to everything, all that was missing was just time.
At the same time, Ning Cheng had almost given up, the Avenue of Returning to One that he had constructed through his own intent was like water without a source, a wood without a foundation. No matter how many Dao thoughts his intent constructed, they ended up being swallowed up by this place where everything was not.
This devouring was like devouring his body, rapidly being compressed and then gradually dying out.
What excited Ning Cheng was that when he had no way to hold on any longer, it was as if a clear spring had been poured into his intent, and he came over with instant clarity. Immediately afterwards, he felt a hint of rule, he felt a hint of life.
The Avenue of Returning to One instantly had a root, and was no longer that rootless weed.
The rules of the Dao went from simple to complex, and all things went from one to more ……
All transcendent rules, all things, are bound up and then wither away to be transformed into new life again. And the rule of return that binds all things will disappear without a trace as soon as it goes beyond this newly constructed simple world.
