Chapter 309

Chapter 309: The Height of the Woman in the Plain Skirt!

ARanking of one’s own!

Unprecedented in all of history!

Some civilizations from beyond actually looked forward to this quite eagerly. If someone could establish a newRanking outside the Great Dao Ranking, that would not be a bad thing for them at all.

It would essentially mean one more path forward!

Because Ye Tianming had already made the Law of All Beings public, meaning they could actually study it themselves.

And with the Law of All Beings being so extraordinarily powerful, who could resist that temptation?

If you had no interest in studying the Law of All Beings, that was fine too.

You could always forge your ownRanking!

After all, someone had already blazed that trail!

For the entire universe, this was truly a monumental blessing.

But those who could make it here were naturally no ordinary people, so they tended to look at things a little more deeply.

Someone this monstrous would surely not be tolerated by the current top powers — take, for instance, the Yang family and the Divine Realm.

In fact, some sharp-eyed individuals had already picked up on something off about the identity of this so-called “Young Lord” before them.

The hostility that Miss Ding showed toward this “Young Lord” was entirely undisguised at this point.

Either something was wrong with Miss Ding, or something was wrong with this Young Lord. But given the current situation, it was clearly the “Young Lord” who had a problem — after all, the core members on the Guanxuan Universe side were all standing with Miss Ding.

Something is wrong with the Young Lord!

Everyone turned their gaze toward Ye Tianming, all filled with curiosity. If this person before them was not Yang Jia, the Yang family’s Young Lord, then who could he be?

Although the Yang family had not made another move, Jidian and the others remained on high alert, the Ji clan in particular having already burned through all of the spiritual veins in their clan, since the consumption demanded by the guardian formation was utterly terrifying. Even so, not a single member of the Ji clan raised any objection.

By this point, everyone in the Ji clan understood that Ye Tianming and the Yang family had torn all pretense of civility away, and their Young Lord and Ye Tianming were brothers bound by life and death. The Ji clan had no way out at all — if Ye Tianming failed to break through, the Ji clan was absolutely finished!

As things stood, the Ji clan stood no chance against the Yang family. The Yang family had far too many powerful elders from the older generation, and there were likely more who had yet to show themselves.

So there was only one option: fight with everything they had.

At this moment, some people’s gazes drifted toward the man with the blade on his back.

Everyone was curious whether this blade-bearing man was a new god. After all, the strength he had displayed when he first appeared had been absolutely terrifying.

At this moment, the blade-bearing man’s eyes were locked intently on the distant figure of Ye Tianming, who was under protection. In that instant just moments ago, every trace of his blade force had been shattered in an instant by Ye Tianming’s power of Order.

A truly terrifying Great Dao of Order!

Gathering the strength of all living beings!

In his entire life, among those of the same age, he had only ever encountered one other person who could shatter his blade force so effortlessly.

Though his blade force had been crushed in an instant, the blade-bearing man was not discouraged. On the contrary, a boundless fighting spirit blazed to life in his eyes.

A hunger for battle!

Witnessing this, the wild man restrained by iron chains in the distance felt a flicker of admiration pass through his eyes.

His people had known defeat, had known death, but had never known cowardice.

As if something had come to mind, the wild man slowly turned and looked toward the distant figure of Ye Tianming being kept under protection, a trace of surprise and shock crossing his eyes as well.

He had not expected that the young man before him would actually attempt to establish a newRanking of his own!

A newRanking forged outside the Great Dao Ranking!

This was simply…monstrous.

Since ancient times — or rather, since the Great Dao Ranking first came into existence — no one had ever accomplished this, not even that unrivaled old god of a bygone era.

Of course, this young man had not truly succeeded yet, and judging by the current situation on the scene, establishing aRanking of his own was not going to be anything close to simple.

With that thought, he could not help but glance over at the Xutianzhu not far away.

The Xutianzhu was also staring at Ye Tianming at this moment. He had lived for a very, very long time and had witnessed countless geniuses — he himself was a peerless genius — and yet this Ye Tianming before him had still managed to leave him stunned.

The Law of All Beings!

When Ye Tianming had announced the Law of All Beings, he had already seen this law for himself. Now everyone in the entire universe could study it, and all who studied it would share whatever they learned, comprehended, and gained with Ye Tianming.

In other words, the moment you cultivated the Law of All Beings, Ye Tianming could mobilize your power and use it for himself at any time!

If all living beings were to study it…

Even the Xutianzhu himself, just thinking about it, could not help but feel his expression change.

This path had no ceiling!

And it was a ceiling-less path that anyone could see with their own eyes!

Not only the Zhongsheng Ranking, but the Law of All Beings itself was also extraordinarily overpowered!

The Xutianzhu kept his gaze fixed on Ye Tianming, the killing intent in his eyes growing denser by the moment.

And behind him, that blood-red road suddenly transformed into an endless abyss. Then, as though something had been awakened, one terrifying aura after another silently surfaced, carrying with them boundless pressure and dread. The next moment, countless powerful warriors came surging out from the depths of that blood-red road.

Their figures flickered through the void like streaks of black lightning.

Every single one of them was at the peak of the Chengzu realm!

These warriors were all clad in black robes, each wielding a long blade, numbering in the thousands. As they converged together, they instantly formed a black ocean, their auras vast and terrifying.

The Xutian Guards!

This was the most elite military force of the Divine Realm.

Originally, they had been cultivated by the previous Xutianzhu for the current generation’s Xutianzhu, with the purpose of protecting the Dao and combating the Outer Dao Heavenly Demons.

Seeing that the Divine Realm had directly summoned the Xutian Guards, Jiyuan nearby felt his expression instantly become unbearably grim.

He knew that the Divine Realm had clearly set its killing intent on Ye Tianming as well.

The Divine Realm!

The Yang family!

Two of the world’s absolute top powers joining forces against them!

He had to admit, even Jiyuan himself felt a surge of despair in this moment.

Not just him — beside him, the Emperor of Beizhao and the two women from the demon clan’s Great Shaman faction also wore expressions of utter grimness. The three of their factions were not weak, but there was simply no way to stand against both the Divine Realm and the Yang family.

Of course, by this point, they had no way out.

They all turned to look at the distant figure of Ye Tianming being kept under protection. Right now, the only thing they could do was place their hopes in him.

As long as Ye Tianming succeeded in establishing the ranking, perhaps the tide could still be turned.

Jidian was also watching Ye Tianming, his expression grave.

Jiyuan suddenly laughed and said, “What are you thinking about?”

Jidian looked around, then looked back at the Ji clan members behind him, lowering his head in silence.

Jiyuan gently patted him on the shoulder and said warmly, “Don’t overthink it. You haven’t dragged the Ji clan down. On the contrary, as your father, I’m genuinely happy that you’ve made a friend as monstrous as this. Truly.”

Jidian looked at Jiyuan, his eyes growing a little red. “Dad, you spoil me too much.”

Jiyuan laughed heartily. “I’m your father. If I don’t spoil you, who will?”

Jiyuan turned to look at the distant Ye Tianming and said softly, “I don’t regret helping this brother. I’m just afraid — afraid for our Ji clan……”

Jiyuan patted his shoulder once more. “In this life, things can rarely be perfect. When perfection is out of reach, just follow your heart…….”

As he said this, he looked toward the distant Ye Tianming. “Your old man here believes that if you ever find yourself in danger, your brother would stand by your side even if it meant standing against the whole world.”

Jidian broke into a loud, hearty laugh.

On the other side, Miss Ding had been watching Ye Tianming all along, and at some point without anyone noticing, several mysterious and concealed auras had appeared behind her.

No one in the scene could see them, but they could all feel them!

Extremely powerful!

Not in the least bit inferior to those Xutian Guards!

Her gaze grew calmer and calmer.

Inside the timeless space beyond the Dao.

Yinian suddenly stopped. She looked toward Zhuang Weiran not far away and said, “Miss Zhuang, the Yang family’s perspective truly should not be this narrow-minded!”

Zhuang Weiran stared at her. “You are also a member of the Yang family.”

Yinian shook her head. “If this is the kind of Yang family it is, then I have no wish to be part of it.”

Zhuang Weiran’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Yinian stared at her. “That child has done nothing wrong.”

Zhuang Weiran said softly, “Miss Yinian, you don’t understand. We are only trying to give the Yang family a chance to survive…….”

Yinian was somewhat puzzled.

But she asked nothing more.

In her mind, right was right and wrong was wrong!

If they couldn’t see eye to eye, there was nothing more to say!

Yinian suddenly burst into flames!

It was the Heaven-Treading Fire!

She transformed directly into a streak of flame and charged straight at Zhuang Weiran.

In the distance, Zhuang Weiran knew Yinian’s strength well. She had never considered defeating Yinian — all she needed to do was stall her.

The next moment, she too charged straight toward Yinian.

Inside that golden dragon, Ye Tianming raised his head and looked up into the void, watching the Zhongsheng Ranking take shape bit by bit.

From a very long time ago, deep within his heart, there had been one idea — a wild, almost mad idea.

That was that he, Ye Tianming, had to forge a Great Dao of his own…one that would reach the heights of that woman in the plain white skirt!

Because Qianqian jie had once said that there was someone who could bring the dead back to life.

He knew that who Qianqian jie was referring to was that woman in the plain white skirt.

He, Ye Tianming, had to walk this Great Dao!

He would resurrect his teacher!

He would resurrect his eldest brother, Ye Nan, Ye Zong!

He would resurrect his senior sister, Fuzang!

He would resurrect Qianqian jie!

He would resurrect everyone in the Ye family……and all those who had died because of him, Ye Tianming!!

Ye Tianming’s gaze grew more and more resolute. Suddenly, he raised both hands into the air and roared, “Rise!”

Boom!

In an instant, billions upon billions of faith power surged toward the heavens, rushing straight toward the Zhongsheng Ranking!

And in that very moment, the Zhongsheng Ranking rapidly condensed. One after another, terrifying auras of Order spread across the heavens and earth like a tide, on the verge of completion.

But just then, Miss Ding suddenly stepped forward. She did not make a move — instead, she turned her gaze toward the Zhongsheng Ranking.

Jiyuan and the others seemed to sense something and spun around to look at the Zhongsheng Ranking. The next moment, his pupils abruptly contracted. “No good! Something’s wrong! A mysterious powerful figure is making a move…the Yang family is trying to forcibly seize the Zhongsheng Ranking…….”

The words had barely fallen.

Above the Zhongsheng Ranking, a phantom figure suddenly appeared.

It was Yang Jia!

The real Yang Jia!

At this moment, Jiyuan and the others finally understood why Miss Ding had not tried to stop things earlier!

It turned out that their plan all along had been to steal the fruits of Ye Tianming’s labor and forcibly claim this Zhongsheng Ranking for Yang Jia.

Seizing the Great Dao!
