87: One source breaks all laws

"This is the power of the Myriad Laws Realm..." Lin Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the surge of new energy within his body. Moreover, he could feel his vitality had greatly improved, and his lifespan had reached at least a million years! In his Sea of Consciousness, the one-meter-tall Chaos Dharma Body floated quietly, radiating a purple-gold Chaos light. The profound dao patterns on the surface of the Dharma Body resonated with the Laws of Heaven and Earth at every moment.

With such strength, he could easily crush all second-Rank Soul Spirits. Lin Yuan looked at Blue Thirteen and suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "How about you take me to meet your Soul Blue King?"

Blue Thirteen's body instantly froze, and the blue halo fluctuated violently: "M-Master! The Soul Blue King has at least 20,000 Feather combat power, and..."

"What, you don't believe in my strength?" Lin Yuan gently stroked the hilt of the chaos heavenly extreme sword. The purple dao patterns on the sword flickered with his movements, as if breathing.

Blue Thirteen looked at this divine weapon that had devoured countless of its kin and suddenly shivered. It realized that this human in front of it was probably far more terrifying than it had imagined.

"This one... obeys." Blue Thirteen bowed its head deeply, making a gesture of submission with its hands, "But Master needs to disguise himself, so Master will have less trouble along the way..."

Just then, Lin Yuan noticed a special item in the System Mall:

[Soul Spirit Mask]

[Effect: Can disguise as a second-Rank Soul Spirit at most, actual combat power is equal to the wearer]

[Exchange Requirement: 8 Golden Soul Crystals]

"Exchange." Lin Yuan thought, and eight Golden Soul Crystals disappeared. A translucent mask appeared in his hand, cool to the touch like water, with strange soul fire dao patterns flowing on its surface.

The moment he put on the mask, Lin Yuan's aura suddenly changed. The purple-gold Primordial Dao Body's radiance was completely concealed, replaced by a dense Soul Spirit fluctuation. Even the chaos heavenly extreme sword transformed into the crystal weapon form unique to the Soul Spirit race.

He listened to Blue Thirteen's plan, dangerous light flickering in his eyes. Vaguely, he felt that this trip to the Soul Ruins Secret Realm might bring him far more rewards than expected.

The Void-Traversing Boat traveled under the blood-colored sky. Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back at the bow, the purple halo formed by the Soul Spirit Mask flowing on his body. Blue Thirteen, kneeling behind him, dared not make a sound, fearing to disturb this terrifying existence's contemplation.

"The path of Cultivation in the Myriad Laws Realm... Myriad Laws Realm, 'Myriad' refers broadly, 'Laws' refers to Dharma Body, not Law. Every Martial Artist, when their divine sense tree transforms into a Dharma Body, will form various Dharma Bodies of different Ranks due to the different Ranks of their divine sense tree, different Law Comprehension, and different Lightning Tribulation Ranks, hence it's called the Myriad Laws Realm. After forming a Dharma Body, all the Laws comprehended by the Martial Artist will form various Law dao patterns within the Dharma Body. The more dao patterns, and the more complex they are, the higher the bonus combat power." Lin Yuan gazed at the Chaos Dharma Body in his Sea of Consciousness. As his thoughts turned, the one-meter-tall purple-gold Chaos Dharma Body revealed a more intricate structure within it—

At a microscopic level invisible to ordinary people, the Dharma Body was covered with translucent Law dao patterns resembling Meridians. Each dao pattern shimmered with different colored light spots, representing the Comprehension nodes of the Chaos Origin Law. In the future, the higher the Comprehension of the Chaos Origin Law, the more complex dao patterns would be generated within the Dharma Body.

"An ordinary Myriad Laws Realm Cultivator can only gain 10 Feather combat power after comprehending one lower-Rank Law to Perfection," Lin Yuan recalled the records in the Grand Hall Master's Jade Slip, "whereas an Origin Law Cultivator only needs to comprehend one lower-Rank Origin Law to Perfection to gain a 100,000 Feather combat power bonus. This is the legendary One Origin Breaks Myriad Laws!"

This numerical gap made all of Lin Yuan's pores tremble. 10 Feather versus 100,000 Feather, that was a difference of a full ten thousand times! No wonder the inheritors of those great forces in Taichu Divine Continent would rather waste their lives stuck before the Feather Transformation Realm than easily switch to Cultivating ordinary Laws.

"One Origin Breaks Myriad Laws..." Lin Yuan murmured to himself, as if stars were flickering in his eyes. He finally understood why those top Prodigies disdained ordinary Laws—it was like a strand of hair refined from ten-thousand-year-old profound ice, capable of easily cutting through a thousand feet of refined iron; while ordinary Laws were like loose sand, no matter how high they were piled, they were difficult to use for great purposes.

But then, his brows furrowed again. More information appeared in his Sea of Consciousness: although ordinary Cultivators gained little from a single Law, they could compensate by comprehending more Laws. Theoretically, if one could comprehend ten thousand ordinary Laws, they could also reach 100,000 Feather combat power. It's just that... "The difficulty increases with each additional Law comprehended..." Lin Yuan gasped. According to the Jade Slip, ordinary Cultivators who could comprehend ten Laws were considered Geniuses, and those with over a hundred were Prodigies. However, the threshold for comprehending Origin Laws was so high that ninety-nine percent of Prodigies would be deterred.

The Jade Slip given to him by the Grand Hall Master recorded: on the most renowned "Feather Transformation Stele" in Taichu Divine Continent, the top-ranked were basically all Origin Law Cultivators!

"This is a qualitative gap." Lin Yuan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. But then he showed a bitter smile—the Cultivation of Origin Laws was far more brutal than imagined.

The Jade Slip explicitly mentioned: at least ninety percent of the Prodigies who comprehended Origin Laws ultimately wasted away in the Dharma Domain Realm. This was because the Comprehension of Origin Laws became increasingly difficult in the Late Stage. Many people spent millions of years and could only remain at the "just getting started" stage. In contrast, those Cultivators who chose ordinary Laws, though their combat power was average, could steadily advance.

"No wonder those great forces constantly use various trials to screen their inheritors..." Lin Yuan pondered. Without Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability and peerless Opportunity, forcibly comprehending Origin Laws was akin to cutting off one's own Dao path!

At this moment, the Dharma Body within him suddenly trembled. Lin Yuan looked inward and saw the illusory shadow of the Nine Heavens faintly appearing above the Dharma Body. Each layer of the Nine Heavens emitted a heart-palpitating fluctuation—this was the mark of the Myriad Laws Realm. Each solidified layer of the Nine Heavens meant a Breakthrough in one Realm, the Dharma Body would grow one meter taller, and combat power would double.

"My current Chaos Dharma Body... only at the first layer of the Nine Heavens already has 100,000 Feather combat power!"

Based on this baseline, when he Breaks through to the Peak of the Myriad Laws Realm, his combat power will reach a terrifying 1,000,000 Feather!

"This... thinking of Bai Li's mention of 'Myriad Feathers Condensing Wings,' referring to Feather Transformation Realm Cultivators needing to reach 10,000 Feather combat power to have a chance to transform into wings." Lin Yuan's throat was dry. One must know that his current combat power, merely at the first layer of the Myriad Laws Realm, already exceeded 200,000 Feather, allowing him to instantly kill Feather Transformation Realm Martial Artists across two major Realms!

Even more terrifying, this was only his base combat power. He hadn't yet comprehended Law Secret Techniques from the Chaos Origin Law. At that time, his combat power would be many times stronger than it was now!

However, thinking about the energy needed to solidify the Nine Heavens, the only thing Lin Yuan could do was to kill, kill, kill!
