In just a short month, a hundred miles of unobstructed space appeared before Joe Di. Yet, this entire expanse had been transformed into the domain of his own Grand Law. Joe Di was overjoyed; using his Grand Law and his own Dao to assimilate this ambiguous space proved to be incredibly swift.
At this rate, if luck was on his side, he might reach the Lawless Cradle in just a few years. Even if fortune failed him, it likely wouldn't take more than a century.
Joe Di's guess was accurate. Although he did not know this was the Lawless Locking Chaos outside the Lawless Cradle, as the area governed by his Grand Law expanded, his speed increased dramatically.
It was only in the sixteenth year that Joe Di finally stopped. Ahead of him was a thin, hazy layer. His divine sense swept over it, but he could not discern anything. However, Joe Di was certain that beyond this layer lay the Lawless Cradle.
Within the Genesis Cradle, it was rare to find someone who hadn’t heard of the Lawless Cradle. Yet, those who had actually seen it were just as scarce.
Joe Di had only heard that the Lawless Cradle was a treasure, but he had no idea how to use it to reach the Creation Realm.
One thing Joe Di was certain of: the moment he tore through the final layer of ambiguous space, the Lawless Cradle would be exposed to the outside world. Once revealed, it could no longer be called the Lawless Cradle, for it would be invaded by Heaven-Earth Law and become a Cosmic Cradle. Though still precious, it would no longer be on the same level as the Lawless Cradle.
After only a brief moment, Joe Di made up his mind. Once he opened this hazy barrier, he would immediately use his universe to envelop the Lawless Cradle. After all, since entering, the surrounding space had been completely governed by his Grand Law. Within his own domain, could he not claim the Lawless Cradle?
The reason he dared not delay any further was Joe Di’s worry that the imminent exposure of the Lawless Cradle would attract the attention of powerful cultivators.
Dao resonance surged and divine essence erupted as Joe Di raised his hand and tore open the final fragile, hazy barrier.
A vast, elliptical gray nest, stretched like a star river, appeared before Joe Di. Without hesitation, Joe Di unleashed his Grand Law, and almost at the instant he saw the nest, enveloped it completely.
Joe Di’s intention was to draw the gray nest into his own universe. But as his Dao aura wrapped around it, he was shocked to discover he could not move it at all. The next moment, an immense, boundless aura swept over him.
This was no ancient Dao aura. Instead, it instantly fused with the Dao laws of his universe, and the vast Dao resonance enveloped Joe Di. At this moment, how could he still focus on pulling the Lawless Cradle into his world? That overwhelming Dao aura had already led him into a new realm, opening a broad new path before him...
All elemental laws of the world began to transform. His Dao evolved from the Origin Ninth Dao to constructing his own universe beyond Joe Di’s Dao, and now, once again, it transformed into something vast and boundless.
Joe Di’s Grand Law continued to evolve, generating more rules he had never encountered before. These rules became cosmic Dao laws, further stabilizing his world.
Time passed slowly, and Joe Di sank deeper into this profound, boundless transformation of Dao resonance. His universe’s Grand Law kept ascending, divine essence multiplied wildly, and his sea of consciousness expanded exponentially...
......
Five hundred years was but a brief nap for the cultivators within the Lawless Cradle. Five hundred years ago, a lowly Convergence Realm ant used a deathtrap array to drive away Damon Tai, hoping to refine the Lawless Cradle.
Yet no one had faith in this Convergence Realm cultivator, for no matter how powerful the array, it could not withstand those true powerhouses who coveted the Lawless Cradle. The reason those elites hadn’t arrived yet was because they were still preparing their methods, or simply knew it was pointless to come early.
If the Lawless Cradle could be taken just by snatching it, everyone would try their luck. But the Lawless Cradle could not be claimed so easily, and that was why few bothered to fight for it. Everyone understood that even if you occupied this place, sooner or later you’d be making wedding clothes for someone else.
Even someone as powerful as Damon Tai could not endure the Lawless Cradle, let alone anyone else.
At this moment, in the location where Joe Di was secluded within the Lawless Cradle, two figures suddenly stepped out of the void. As they appeared, the cultivators watching from afar saw clearly: Damon Tai had returned. And he hadn’t come alone—he brought a helper.
The cultivators who had long remained in the Genesis Cradle all recognized Damon Tai’s companion: Wu Zhenyuan, the top array master of the Genesis Cradle.
It was obvious that Damon Tai had returned to reclaim the Lawless Cradle that belonged to him. With drama unfolding, some cultivators once again gathered to watch.
On the surface, everyone was here for the spectacle, but in truth, each knew exactly why they had come.
Back then, a lowly Convergence Realm ant used a deathtrap array to scare off Damon Tai, which in turn drew out the Yin-Yang Buckle brothers. Unexpectedly, the Convergence Realm ant managed to use the array to kill the Yin-Yang Buckle. To slay the Yin-Yang Buckle, the Convergence Realm cultivator must have wielded extraordinary power with the deathtrap array.
But that wasn’t the most important thing. What mattered was that the Convergence Realm cultivator, ignorant of treasure, actually tossed out the corpses of the Yin-Yang Buckle brothers, ultimately benefiting others. Rumor had it that the two cultivators who obtained the Yin-Yang Buckle had already restored the Yin Buckle and Yang Buckle. Both artifacts reappeared in others’ sight, and each was a Genesis treasure.
Unfortunately, these Genesis treasures were claimed by two people. If one person had obtained both, the Yin-Yang Buckle’s power would have been even greater.
Today, Damon Tai’s return surely meant he was fully prepared. If the Convergence Realm cultivator could not escape using the array, his world might be shattered. For someone capable of setting such a grand array, if his world collapsed, there would undoubtedly be a trove of treasures.
"Brother Tai, is it here?" The man accompanying Damon Tai was a short, beardless individual—Wu Zhenyuan, the top array master of the Genesis Cradle. He glanced at Joe Di’s location and asked.

Damon Tai nodded. "Yes, Brother Wu. But this person's deathtrap array is very peculiar. I’m confident that ordinary arrays couldn’t trap me, but his array actually locked some of my vitality. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been forced away by that arrow of time and space."
Wu Zhenyuan laughed heartily. "Rest assured, Brother Tai. The traces of array formation here are extremely faint. It’s likely he used spatial array foundations as a method."
Damon Tai, however, was not entirely convinced. "Brother Wu, I doubt I’d be troubled by spatial array foundations. The array that trapped me back then was likely a brand new array technique..."
Wu Zhenyuan smiled slightly, just about to speak, when suddenly another hearty laugh rang out. "Daoist Tai, Daoist Wu, I didn’t expect you two to arrive ahead of me."
With this voice, a fat elder descended, appearing before Damon Tai and Wu Zhenyuan.
Damon Tai’s expression shifted slightly, then he clasped his fists and said, "Daoist Qiang, what brings you here?"
The newcomer, this fat man, was called Qiang Waijiang—a notoriously troublesome expert. Damon Tai wasn’t afraid of him, but the real concern was the unpredictable Joe Di.
Qiang Waijiang laughed again. "I heard that the Lawless Cradle in my Genesis Cradle was taken over by a foreign Convergence Realm ant. I, Qiang Waijiang, have lived in the Genesis Cradle for millions of years—how could I let such a thing fall into an outsider’s hands for nothing?"
Hearing Qiang Waijiang’s words, Damon Tai found himself momentarily at a loss for a retort. How could he refute Qiang Waijiang? Claim it belonged to him? Even he wouldn’t believe that himself.
Damon Tai instinctively glanced at the periphery; by now, more than a dozen cultivators had arrived. But Damon Tai paid them no mind—at best, they were just bystanders, mere onlookers. Only someone like Qiang Waijiang posed a real threat to his claim over the Lawless Cradle.
"Haha, I hope I’m not too late." Another voice rang out, and with it, two figures simultaneously stepped out from the void.
Seeing these two, Damon Tai abandoned his previous confidence and could only sigh inwardly. It seemed claiming the Lawless Cradle really wouldn’t be so easy. He could only regret that he hadn’t managed to refine the Lawless Cradle within a thousand years.
Looking once more at the location of the Lawless Cradle, the Dao resonance above it was surging and the laws were in chaos—clearly, the Lawless Cradle was about to emerge. Damon Tai felt deeply frustrated; after more than a thousand years, he was still far from the Lawless Cradle, while this Convergence Realm cultivator had somehow arrived in just five hundred years, drawing so many powerhouses ahead of time.
"Good, good! It’s been ages since we’ve all gathered together. Who would’ve thought we’d meet again like this—hahaha..." Another hearty laugh echoed from afar, and a figure approached rapidly, appearing before the crowd in an instant.
(That’s all for today—good night, friends!)
