Chapter 695: Yang Shi and the Rice!

The hero of the Second Stage was mainly a practitioner from the era of system development, with talent that was simply too low. Yun Ye shook his head upon seeing him.

Now, the top ten stages of the Heavenly Path had recalibrated talent levels not based on regions, but on the entire Red Heaven realm.

Even so, the talent of the Second Stage heroes remained low, almost equivalent to the average talent in Baishi Town.

Therefore, what happened was unexpected yet logical.

The figure facing Shui Chonghuang stepped forward, revealing itself.

The figure carried a long staff and wore plain clothing, exuding an extraordinary aura. With disheveled black hair, the young man looked remarkable.

As soon as Shui Chonghuang laid eyes on this hero, he felt a sense of familiarity and quickly reacted, revealing an expression of joy.

Clearly, he recognized who had arrived!

In fact, it wasn’t just him; almost all the practitioners present recognized this young man, worshipping him for his achievements and showing immense respect. He could easily be called the most heavyweight pioneer of the Second Stage—unmatched by anyone!

The words and sounds of the Heavenly Path echoed softly.

"From the late Spiritual Law Era, at the dawn of the New Heaven Era, we have ‘Yang Shi.’"

"Born into obscurity, with low talent, yet he created an unparalleled law that established the philosophy of Tomorrow."

"He trained for less than twenty years, halting at the spiritual realm, yet opened the Tomorrow Dao, awakened the Tomorrow Dao Weapon, and perished in battle against the ruling Dao…"

Flashes of past events blazed like flames, as everyone recalled Yang Shi’s battle against the two chief judges.

After merely gaining a spiritual body, he overcame the law realms with Extreme Spiritual Law and shattered his opponent’s Dao Weapon with a final sword strike, facing death with calmness.

The Founder of the Tomorrow Society, the beginning of the New Heaven Era—a truly great figure beyond words.

"Without Extreme Spiritual Law, there would be no current New Heaven Celestial Empire. The power of the ruling Dao is immense, and only the power capable of unraveling the mysteries of Spiritual Law could overturn everything."

Someone whispered.

"Indeed, Extreme Spiritual Law deserves that achievement, but what astonishes people most is still the Founder, who created Extreme Spiritual Law without any teaching, whose philosophy is extraordinarily complete, clearly marking the direction—just develop step by step…"

A powerful Honored Being felt ashamed, realizing that such a feat, if approached differently, would still be hard for one individual to accomplish. After all, Yang Shi’s talent was only at the Second Stage, far from being able to foresee the future or simulate a vast tableau in his mind.

"Many pioneers possess such wisdom. Whether it be Physical Law, Spirit Law, or Spiritual Law—what stage lacked remarkable individuals? This Founder could integrate everything, opening Extreme Spiritual Law that encompasses the three laws; thus, it was historical inevitability. The only difference is that he accomplished what everyone else could not, directly entering a mature phase."

"This is the remarkable aspect of Chief Yang Shi—the first page of the textbook, the first page of New Heaven Era history, what an honor, what a feat! He surely did not anticipate that we could reach this point, completely overthrowing the ruling Dao!"

"Yes, yes! Think of the past—the ruling Dao was so formidable, and now? It can only remain silent in the outer heavens, terrified to face the Celestial Empire’s majesty!"

People sighed endlessly, resonating with each other.

The Celestial Empire indeed has the flaw of being unable to control all multiverses, but its foundation lies in the Red Heaven realm. Regarding the Red Heaven realm, the Celestial Empire has already realized most of the Tomorrow Society’s visions, creating a world that could be called perfect, where all people are free from worry and can live without labor, enjoying good health until death.

…

"You stand in the sky overlooking everyone, not because your strength is invincible, but because you were born at the finish line!"

Yang Shi declared, three-colored flames surged forth, signaling that the battle was about to begin.

"Indeed, that’s the statement; the Founder lost due to his background. If his talent matched, the mere law realm of Baishi Town is nothing more than feathered fowl and mud dogs!"

Shui Chonghuang grinned with excitement, as history was being replicated—it was simply spectacular!

"Kill!"

The ethereal young man was just a projection and could not exhibit the strong consciousness like that of the Red Heaven.

He threw his long staff, which was engulfed by dark flames, and he himself vanished under the coverage of three-colored flames, rushing rapidly toward Shui Chonghuang.

However, the outcome was without suspense. Shui Chonghuang stood firm, unleashing immense spirit energy. The terrifying pressure crushed everything, making it nearly impossible for Yang Shi to move, and continuing to apply pressure would be enough to kill Yang Shi.

As a practitioner who had perfected Extreme Spiritual Law, every strand of Shui Chonghuang’s spirit energy possessed unimaginable Power, far beyond the initially rough Extreme Spiritual Law. Not to mention that the Second Stage Yun Ye only utilized Single Spiritual Roots in Extreme Spiritual Law, the weakest phase.

Yang Shi did not give up. Dark cracks spread as a flash of black light zipped past.

Boom!

The explosion spread over Shui Chonghuang’s surface, waves of air rolling forth, the killing move arriving suddenly.

"The legendary ‘Heavenly Phenomenon’ is indeed entirely consistent with the textbook! As expected of the Founder of the Tomorrow Society, he can think of using this method to reverse the gap!"

Shui Chonghuang exhaled, calming the waves of air. The high temperature disappeared in an instant, and Yang Shi rapidly turned to dust as a result.

An absolute gap in strength!

There was nothing to be done; although Yang Shi was strong at the Second Stage ‘Branching’ due to Extreme Spiritual Law, the four top finalists from Zixue Academy were no doubt invincible at the Ninth Stage, so no surprises could occur.

The opponents faced by the other three were all stronger than Yang Shi but lacked fame, drawing little attention as they entered the trials of the Third Stage.

In the Third Stage, Shui Chonghuang was also extremely eager. The reason was simple; in the past, if practitioners encountered the Founder, they would basically also face the second Chief of the Tomorrow Society, ‘Dao.’ Some debated whether their strengths were truly comparable or if the Heavenly Path secretly hid an attraction rule based on philosophy.

In any case, Shui Chonghuang was very excited.

"Is it really Shui Chonghuang who meets Chief Yang Shi next? Is the next one that ‘Dao’? Although this Chief may not be particularly legendary, he did cultivate and save important figures, allowing the Tomorrow Society to establish itself… How wonderful to confront a legend!"

Gong Haili felt a tinge of envy, pulling at her Silver Hair in frustration.

"…"

Chi Xue fell, beside her, let out a deep sigh. This should have been his honor, but unfortunately, he faced Tiankai and helplessly lost.

Tiankai’s strength was simply on a different level. If it were any of the other three, he might have defeated them, but not Tiankai.

He simply closed his eyes, choosing not to see and not to worry.

Then, amid countless voices and gasps, Shui Chonghuang’s third opponent stepped forward.

"Third Stage Heavenly Path, cultivation level ‘Mortal Realm Perfect,’ talent ‘All Beings,’ trial begins."

"From the late Spiritual Law Era, at the dawn of the New Heaven Era…"

"’Dao!’"

Upon seeing that it was from the late Spiritual Law period at the New Heaven’s start, the crowd sighed inwardly, as expected!

This period certainly had immense talents, but the talent level at the Third Stage was too low; it could not possibly come from a noble family, as they would not cultivate such worthless qualities.

The only possibilities for someone with great strength at the Third Stage were those from the Tomorrow Dao!
