Outlaw

Outlaws are people who have cultivated certain Daos that are deemed too powerful and unique. As such, they have to pass a trial to prove that they are worthy of cultivating that Dao. For example, people who cultivate the Dao of Time, Karma, Samsara, Destruction and so many others. However, there are still the Supreme Outlaws, who are people who want to cultivate the 5 Supreme Hidden Dao (Chaos, Creation, Fate, Destruction and Heaven).

### Trial

The trial an Outlaw has to pass is called a Human Tribulation, which is considered very unpredictable. In this Human Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao will scheme against you, using the people close to you or your own actions. For example, the trial could be in the form that one of your best friends becoming jealous of your power and success and planning to assassinate you. Or, through many circumstances, your sect turned against you and they began to hunt you down, forcing you on the run. The scary part of this trial is that it is personal, tailored to each specific individual's life, strength and relationship.

It is said that strength is the least valuable aspect needed to pass this test. This trial is essentially having a Great Emperor calculating and scheming against you to lead you to your demise.

#### Differences

Against an Outlaw, the scheming 'Great Emperor' uses only 1% of his power. As against Supreme Outlaws, that becomes closer to 50%.

*'This person must be a Unique Supreme Outlaw,' thought Evil Eye.*

*He knew that there was a difference between Supreme Outlaws. Some of them have reached the best state of mind, Dao Heart, are extremely intelligent and cunning, have a strong background, and, more importantly, have a high chance of discovering the existence trial on their own.*

*Heavenly Dao will take time and effort to plan the trial for these types of Outlaws. True Heavenly Dao may even bestow some of its power upon the Heavenly Dao of the world where a Unique Supreme Outlaw appears.*

*As such, their trials will often involve other World Communities or Heaven Will Worlds.*

*As a matter of fact, there was once a rumor that the Innate-Acquire War was the trial of an Outlaw. Of course, the Evil Eye did not believe such nonsense, but these rumors alone proved how crazy these trials could be.*

#### Passing the trial

The Dusk Emperor, a Supreme Outlaw of the Destruction Dao, survived his trial only because he changed his Dao to a lesser form of Destruction—Dusk. One way to pass the trial is by either entirely changing your Dao or transforming it into a lesser form. Another method is to have an innate treasure carry your main Dao. It was later revealed that to pass the trial, one must also overcome the cognitive barrier imposed on all living beings by the Grand Dao.

However, those with the Absolute Chaos Physique can cultivate an Outlaw or Supreme Outlaw Dao without undergoing a trial, though the Greater Chaos Dao remains an Outlaw to everyone. Attempting to circumvent the Outlaw Trial, for example, by cultivating destruction qi without adhering to any laws, would result in a heavenly tribulation with a 99.99999% chance of death.

For those who have already proven the Dao with a lesser version of a Supreme Outlaw but seek its evolution, the process is exceedingly difficult and is met with Immemorial Tribulations.

#### Aftermath

Upon passing the Outlaw Trial, numerous benefits are given to the individual. First, they receive the title of Dao Overlord if they undertook the Supreme Outlaw Trial, or the title of Dao Lord if they took the normal Outlaw trial. This title holds great value throughout the upper and lower realms, as it can only be held by those who are truly intelligent, strong, and fully aware of their weaknesses. Dao Lords have the right to use any normal Outlaw Dao, while Dao Overlords have the right to use all Supreme Outlaw Daos and Normal Outlaw Daos. The trial-taker also gets the right to use any Outlaw Dao after passing the trial. Additionally, they receive numerous random artifacts, treasures, and other things that will help the trial-taker.

The Grand Dao imposes a Cognitive Barrier on every individual. It's essentially the Grand Dao's way of ensuring that people don't go out of line. Dao Overlords and Dao Lords are individuals who have broken this barrier. This enables them to create new innovations that normal people would never be able to conceive due to the Cognitive Barrier.
