What a sword strike this was! This strike pursued the Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate relentlessly. The Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate already knew he absolutely could not block this sword; its sharpness was too terrifying, too keen, too peerless.

At the very last instant, the Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate unleashed his final resort: Ghostly Phantom Peerless! He instantly transformed into something akin to a ghostly phantom. His Ghostly Phantom Peerless was an exceedingly refined movement technique.

Check Baidu for Huashan Immortal Sect updates. It allowed for unimpeded stealth in the darkness, making him virtually untraceable. The Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate had stumbled upon this Ghostly Phantom Peerless in the Lost Lands; it was not a technique from the Evil Sword Civilization.

After mastering it, no one could ever find his true form in the dark, and if they could not find his true form, they naturally could not defeat him. This was Ghostly Phantom Peerless! A method that rendered one virtually invincible in darkness.

The Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate was already a renowned master of the Blindfolded Sword Hall, but among the others in the Blindfolded Sword Hall, there were many formidable experts. Previously, the Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate could manage one against three of the top figures in the Blindfolded Sword Hall, but after mastering Ghostly Phantom Peerless, he could actually face fifteen opponents simultaneously in the dark. This demonstrated just how exaggerated the power of Ghostly Phantom Peerless was; those who engaged him could never locate his real body.

Now, the Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate activated Ghostly Phantom Peerless, and his form instantly vanished. And Lu Yuan’s sword light almost solidified in mid-air. His opponent was gone; this strike, having lost its target, naturally could not complete its arc.

But this strike was not finished. This strike was nearly the strongest he could unleash. It was this very strike that now hung suspended.

How to find the opponent? Lu Yuan contemplated in the darkness. If he could not find his foe, once this strike passed, he would be utterly finished, as this sword intent could not persist indefinitely.

Fortunately, within the scope enveloped by this strike, time was nearly stagnant, allowing Lu Yuan a moment to focus his thoughts. Lu Yuan suddenly felt that if this sword strike could grow stronger, evolving into the true unity of the Six Great Iron Laws, it could become truly vast and unmatched. Then, this boundless sword could envelop the entire Blindfolded Sword Hall, meaning no matter where the Evil Extreme Heavenly Venerate hid within the hall, he would be struck if he remained inside.

In essence, he needed to complete the Six Great Iron Laws. But completing the Six Great Iron Laws was no easy feat; both the Order Iron Law and the Great Karma Iron Law were profoundly difficult to complete. In comparison, he would first complete the Order Iron Law.

The Order Iron Law was missing the Sword Intent of Glory and the Sword Intent of Descent. Lu Yuan manifested the characters "" (Dùn - Pause/Sudden) and "" (Wù - Enlightenment), while a fierce fighting spirit erupted from the depths of his heart. He refused to believe that a Sword Intent of Glory and a Sword Intent of Descent could defeat him.

The two characters, Dùn Wù, radiated endless light. In that instant, Lu Yuan truly pushed his entire potential to the limit. In the time when existence was almost frozen, Lu Yuan did not waste much time before grasping a sliver of the Sword Intent of Glory—the vitality of growing things, the density of flourishing woods; this was Glory.

Glory is similar to Prosperity, but Prosperity lies in the quantity of abundance, whereas Glory lies in the beauty of that flourishing state. Glory is more splendid, more precious, brighter, more graceful, more moving than Prosperity. Sword Intent of Glory, be achieved.

Now, only the final Sword Intent of Descent remained. Descent! What is Descent?

Where there is ascent, there must be descent. When heaven and earth first separated, the pure sank to form the earth, and the turbid rose to form the sky—wait, the clear ascended to form Heaven, and the turbid descended to form Earth. The existence of Earth, fundamentally, is to better nurture and cultivate all things.

Correct, only those strong enough to survive in the environment of the sky could endure, but the majority of the weak could not. A flower falls to the earth, merging into the soil, for the sake of new life. What is called Descent is the sacrifice of the self for new life, for new vitality—this is Descent.

As for the decline of a clan, that decline aside, focusing only on the word Descent: when a family falls, the position it vacates adds to the standing of other families—this is Descent. In the void, another ancient talisman rose, bearing the character for Descent. At this moment, Lu Yuan realized that the twelve great sword intents required for his Order Iron Law were all assembled: War!

Strife! Peace! Prosperity!

Decline! Descent! All!

Return! In that instant, Lu Yuan seemed to see a great gate between Heaven and Earth, and passing through this gate, he could observe the entire world. Yes, the entire world.

Everything, absolutely everything, was arranged according to a certain order. All things in the universe, subject to the arrangement of order. Humanity seems chaotic, marked by constant conflict and slaughter, yet overall, humanity also moves through the cycle of war, peace, prosperity, and decline.

At this moment, Lu Yuan felt his swordsmanship advance another step, truly achieving the complete Five Great Iron Laws. The Order Iron Law was successful. Now came the troublesome Great Karma Iron Law.

The Great Karma Iron Law was exceedingly troublesome, difficult to comprehend. His Great Karma Iron Law lacked the Sea of Universal Salvation. What exactly was this Sea of Universal Salvation?

Lu Yuan could now be considered well-traveled, but he had never heard of a Sea of Universal Salvation. Check Baidu for Huashan Immortal Sect updates. The name suggested a connection to the Buddhist Ancient Civilization, but he was an enemy of the Sumiya Buddha, who was now a Civilization Realm figure.

And at this moment, the momentum of Lu Yuan’s sword strike was almost spent. Time was running out! Where was the Sea of Universal Salvation?

Lu Yuan frantically searched through his accumulated treasures. He had luckily found a Tai Sui once, mastering the Dragon of Earth Swallowing. Could he be that lucky again?

But Lu Yuan searched everywhere for anything related to the Sea of Universal Salvation, yet he could conjure nothing. It seemed his luck had run out this time; he could not locate the Sea of Universal Salvation. Wait!

As Lu Yuan lamented his failure to find the Sea of Universal Salvation, he suddenly noticed a semi-transparent image slowly materializing within his Sword Space. Yi? Was this not the Buddha Sword Cultivator?

The Buddha Sword Cultivator clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, young friend, we meet again." Lu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised: "How are you here?" The Buddha Sword Cultivator looked at Lu Yuan: "Since I transmitted the Great Karma Iron Law, the Minor Karma Iron Law to you, along with various ultimate techniques and World-Ending Sword Arts, it is only natural that I should be here." Seeing Lu Yuan’s displeasure, the Buddha Sword Cultivator continued, "This is merely a remnant of my soul. The reason I am here is quite simple: I was testing your character. Years ago, while preaching in the Hundred Swords Tomb of the Hidden Sword Sect, I discovered your unparalleled talent for the Way of the Sword, unmatched in the world.

Thus, I taught you the Minor Karma Iron Law and the method to achieve the Great Karma Iron Law. However, I also wanted to test your character, so this remnant soul has followed you all this way." "When choosing a successor, character is paramount." "Having followed you, I found your nature benevolent and worthy of being my successor. Therefore, I have brought you the Sea of Universal Salvation that you require." At some point, a vast ocean appeared in the Sword Space, radiating an aura of saving all sentient beings and universal salvation.

Standing beside this ocean, Lu Yuan faintly felt the resolve rising within him to save countless worlds. "Actually, the location of the Sea of Universal Salvation is simple: in every person's heart. With the heart set on saving the world, the Sea of Universal Salvation naturally appears.

You already possessed the heart to save the world; the residual soul of the old monk merely catalyzed it, allowing your Heart of Universal Salvation to expand into the true Sea of Universal Salvation. Of course, if your character were corrupt, you could never obtain it, and the Great Karma Iron Law would remain forever unattainable." "This remnant of my soul is almost depleted. I have nothing more to give you.

Farewell." With a crash, the final sliver of his soul completely dissipated. Check Baidu for Huashan Immortal Sect updates. This sword-wielding monk, who was close to the Civilization Realm many years ago, finally vanished entirely.

For a moment, it seemed as though boundless heavenly flowers rained down from the sky. Lu Yuan knew the Buddha Sword Cultivator had died long ago, so he felt little regret. After briefly collecting his emotions, he began to condense the Great Karma Iron Law.

The Great Karma Iron Law now only lacked the final component, the Sea of Universal Salvation. After all that effort, the Sea of Universal Salvation was in every person's heart—possessing supreme compassion and the desire to save others manifested the Sea of Universal Salvation. Finally, the process was complete!

Lu Yuan began to refine the Great Karma Iron Law. At this time, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged upon the immense Disk of Great Karma. Now, his eyes were tightly shut, his Buddha-like posture solemn, all traces of his usual indolence gone.

He appeared like a Buddha descended to the mortal realm, stirring an impulse deep within one’s soul to bow down in reverence before a great sage. Lu Yuan opened his eyes. In that opening, his eyes shone with boundless Buddhic nature; the causes and effects of all affairs unfolded within the void.

He had finally mastered the Great Karma Iron Law. The Great Karma Iron Law was an extraordinarily useful law. He recalled that karma was divided into three levels.

The first level was Seeing Through Karma; with the Minor Karma Iron Law, one could see through any injury anyone had ever suffered—though this failed if the opponent's cultivation was far superior or if they concealed it with special artifacts. The second level was Seeing Through the Flaws in one's spirit; once a spiritual weakness existed, it could be seen through. This technique was virtually unbeatable.

As for the third level of karma, Slaying the Past Life's Calamity, it was even more invincible: assassinating a powerful figure during their weak childhood. However, this ability to slay past life calamities had reportedly never been mastered by anyone yet. Lu Yuan had only reached the second level, Spiritual Causality.

Lu Yuan felt a sense of great perfection; now the Six Great Iron Laws were truly perfected. Lu Yuan returned to that same sword strike, the one that had paused earlier, and now it resumed. The first half of the strike had been brilliant and dignified, but the latter half was now complete, peerless, sweeping away everything!
