At this moment, Gu Chuan is coiled in the central dojo of Chaos City, protected by the Restrictions formation of Chaos City, and no demon god can disturb Gu Chuan's practice.
Of course, given his current prestige, no reckless devil who valued their life would dare to act foolishly.
"Time, Space, Five Elements, Creation, Yin & Yang, Karma, Chaos..."
Gu Chuan coiled his massive serpent body on the ground, reaching a state of complete stillness. His consciousness was wholly immersed in his mind, merging with the Source of Chaos as he comprehended countless laws.
In the depths of his sea of consciousness, law runes emerged. Each law had reached a state of absolute perfection. The runes rotated one after another, resembling celestial bodies orbiting through the vast cosmos, illuminating his mind with a dazzling brilliance.
"Chaos Eight Trigrams!"
In an instant, Gu Chuan activated the Chaos Eight Trigrams technique within the depths of his sea of consciousness. It functioned like an optical brain, continuously deducing the countless possibilities of various laws, exploring the path to the Dao.
He felt an endless stream of information flooding into his consciousness—so vast and profound that it could easily shatter the mind of an ordinary demon god.
Only a being as terrifyingly powerful as Gu Chuan could withstand such high-speed calculations. If an ordinary demon god attempted such a feat, their mind would overheat and explode within a single breath.
"Not enough."
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Chuan's eyes. The countless laws within him had reached their peak, yet to transcend from laws to the Dao required a moment of insight—an opportunity.
The Chaos Eight Trigrams technique in the depths of his sea of consciousness was precisely deducing that opportunity.
"Faster. Faster. Faster!"
Gu Chuan pushed the Chaos Eight Trigrams technique to its absolute limit. His computational ability skyrocketed, yet he felt it was still insufficient—he had to surpass all limits.
Only by transcending the limit could he truly calculate the path to the Dao.
For ordinary demon gods, such an act was nearly impossible. Even for someone as strong as Gu Chuan, going beyond his natural limits was a near-unattainable feat. However, he possessed the Light of Merit, a divine blessing granted by the Source of Chaos.
This virtuous light was boundless in mystery, akin to a universal panacea—an omnipotent treasure.
Rumble!
In an instant, the Light of Merit merged into the Chaos Eight Trigrams technique. The technique underwent a fundamental transformation, as if integrating with the essence of Chaos itself.
This caused Gu Chuan's computational power to soar by billions of times.
At this moment, his soul fully merged with the Source of Chaos. It was as if he had replaced the Source itself, governing the operations of the entire chaotic cosmos. Countless laws now obeyed his will.
His thought process reached an unfathomable level, beyond the scope of light-speed.
To the outside world, only a second had passed, yet within his sea of consciousness, eons had unfolded.
"I found it."
He did not know how much time had passed—perhaps hundreds of epochs. But after an infinite number of calculations, he finally discovered the singular path to transcendence among the endless forks.
Boom!
At that moment, Gu Chuan's soul, magic power, and the body of the Primordial Ancient Serpent trembled in unison. It was as if all three had synchronized with the rhythm of the Dao itself, emanating strange, divine resonances.
"It is time to break through."
A surge of excitement coursed through Gu Chuan. After an infinite series of calculations, he was finally about to ascend from the realm of laws to the realm of the Great Dao. This was an earth-shattering transformation—akin to the leap from mortal to immortal.
It was the inevitable culmination of countless years of cultivation.
Rumble!
In the depths of his sea of consciousness, the law runes began to transform. They spun slowly, devouring endless streams of law information from the primordial chaos.
Then, the first law rune—Yin & Yang—underwent a profound metamorphosis.
The once black-and-white sphere rapidly reshaped into a black-and-white tome. This tome was inscribed with countless profound truths of the Yin & Yang Law, densely packed with ancient runes and divine scriptures.
This was no ordinary book—it was a Dao Scripture, something only possible when one fully grasped a Dao.
Throughout history, Saints recorded their enlightenment in Taoist scriptures after attaining transcendence. Daode Tianzun's Tao Te Ching, Lingbao Tianzun's Yunji Qiqian, Yuanshi Tianzun's Yuanshi Zhenjing, and Zhunti and Jieyin Saints' Ten Thousand Buddha Sutras—these scriptures embodied their Dao.
And now, Gu Chuan was creating his own.
Yet, this was only the beginning.
With the transformation of the first law rune, the second—Karma—morphed into the Book of Karma. The third—Chaos—became the Book of Chaos. The fourth—Time—transformed into the Book of Time.
Clatter!
One after another, the law runes deep within Gu Chuan's sea of consciousness underwent a frenzied metamorphosis, evolving from law runes into sacred Dao scriptures.
Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine...
The transformation of each law rune signified the mastery of an entire path.
For most beings, mastering a single Dao was an arduous journey spanning countless lifetimes. But for Gu Chuan, his foundation was far too overwhelming. When he ascended to the realm of a Saint, all of his laws transformed simultaneously—making his breakthrough exponentially more difficult.
The sheer magnitude of his ascension sent shockwaves through the void.
With the Primordial Ancient Serpent Body as the center, the chaotic void across hundreds of millions of light-years boiled, forming a terrifying vortex of primordial chaos. Boundless chaotic energy surged towards Gu Chuan, increasing the energy density of Chaos City a billionfold.
"What's happening?!"
The demon gods of Chaos City were in utter shock. Even though they had witnessed Gu Chuan's divine sermons three times before, they had never seen such a cataclysmic phenomenon.
"Could it be that a Chaos Supreme Treasure has been born?" one demon god speculated.
"No, this isn't the aura of a Chaos Treasure. This... This is the Chaos City Lord cultivating!"
"Damn it! Just cultivating alone is causing such terrifying visions?!"
"Wait... is the Chaos City Lord breaking through again?!"
"Impossible! He's already heaven-defying as he is! If he becomes even stronger, how can we possibly survive?! How powerful does he intend to be before he finally stops?!"
Countless demon gods trembled, staring at the apocalyptic sight before them. Their hearts wavered in awe and dread, witnessing firsthand the terrifying might of the Chaos City Lord's metamorphosis.
