137: Chapter 137 A Fantasy Experience

"What kind of fantasy-like experience is this?" Chi Anlin was a bit bewildered.

Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?

He had only bluffed casually, but a remnant soul of an Ancient Rank Emperor had appeared and, in a matter of moments, submitted to Xiao Yue.

Chi Anlin looked at the floating Ancient Rank Emperor's remnant soul before him and gave Xiao Xing a flick on the forehead: "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Xing was flicked so hard it almost cried, clutching its head and glaring at Chi Anlin with a pout, wearing an expression that clearly said, 'You're done for.'

"I was just checking to see if I was dreaming. I'll give you an extra female mouse when we get back."

The next second, Xiao Xing chuckled happily and even stretched its head out, looking as if to say, 'Feel free to flick me again.'

Now that the Ancient Rank Emperor had submitted to Xiao Yue, Chi Anlin had no more reservations and began to discuss things with his two beasts.

"What kind of crazy luck is this today? To think I'd encounter such a good thing!"

On the side, listening to Chi Anlin's words, the expression on Prison Emperor's face shifted from initial confusion to agonizing despair.

What the hell am I doing!

Prison Emperor wore a bizarre expression, as if he had just eaten dung; he had actually submitted to a First Realm cultivator.

For a moment, he even wanted to destroy this remnant soul; he had no face left to continue living.

Damn it, if this kid isn't a Supreme Expert, how does he have so many points worthy of complaint!

He had lived for thousands of years and seen countless beings, yet this was the first time he had encountered someone so bizarre. Who would believe he wasn't a Supreme Expert!

Yet, as it happened, he really was just an ordinary cultivator.

Prison Emperor checked his bone age and found he was only eighteen. Why didn't he... but it seemed that even if he had checked just now, he would have thought Chi Anlin was deliberately showing it to him.

"Alright, alright, he is an Ancient Rank Emperor after all; it's inevitable he might have some tricks up his sleeve. Let me use Fusion on him!"

Chi Anlin activated the Fusion system, preparing to use it on Prison Emperor.

"Ding, Fusion failed."

He had still overestimated himself.

Chi Anlin abandoned the idea; it was better to have Prison Emperor possess an Ant Soldier for double security.

Not far away, Prison Emperor's remnant soul was stunned.

This power of Laws...

For a moment, Prison Emperor's heart was filled with mixed emotions. What kind of person was this? He had already submitted, yet this person still wanted to trick him, making him doubt his existence.

Perhaps this was the wicked sense of humor of a Supreme Expert...

Chi Anlin was unaware of Prison Emperor's internal thoughts. After the Fusion failed, in order to understand Prison Emperor better, Chi Anlin used Appraisal on him.

[Name]: Ming Yu

[Race]: Nether Race

[Physique]: Nine Nether King Body (Rank 1210)

[Realm]: King Realm Second Stage (Remnant Soul, original strength Ancient Rank Second Stage)

[Attribute]: Fire, Dark

[Description]: Remnant soul entity. Every attack consumes soul power. If a physical body is not obtained, it will completely vanish once the soul power is exhausted.

Hmm? It's a War Body?

After thinking for a moment, Chi Anlin asked: "Why do you think I am very strong?"

Hearing this question, Prison Emperor showed an 'as expected' expression: "Because you have mastered two types of Laws, sir."

"Two types of Laws?"

Is there no end to this! Prison Emperor felt somewhat desperate, but he still wore a smile on his face. Since his strength was inferior, he could only play along with Chi Anlin's act.

"One of your Laws, sir, should involve Fusion. I didn't sense the other Law clearly, but in that moment just now, it felt as if all my secrets had been discovered."

One was the synthesis system, the other was the Appraisal function.

It seemed the system level was still not high enough if the feeling of being peeped at could be detected. Chi Anlin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He had originally planned to use Appraisal Technique on his master, but it seemed he would let that go for now.

"Can Monarch Rank detect Laws?"

Prison Emperor shook his head: "Laws are a transformation of Rules, so only Ancient Rank experts who have mastered Rules can sense Laws."

"In other words, to become a Saint Rank Expert, one must master Laws?" Chi Anlin asked.

Prison Emperor's expression was a bit strange. Even if he was powerful, he shouldn't tease him like this!

However, he still answered honestly: "To become a Saint Rank Expert, one must possess a world."

Chi Anlin looked at Prison Emperor with some confusion, and Prison Emperor continued to answer: "Saint Rank Experts will create a world within their bodies. Many of the remaining Great Worlds today are what was left behind after a Saint Rank Expert died."

Chi Anlin was stunned. Didn't that mean he had unintentionally created the seed of a Saint Rank Expert?

The Queen Ant had a Small World inside her body.

"Then are worlds like the Lesser Beast Realm also worlds left behind by Saint Rank Experts?"

Prison Emperor shook his head: "These Small Worlds are not considered true worlds. Once the connection to the main world is severed, they will collapse. Even an Ancient Rank expert can create such worlds."

Main world? Could it be the current universe?

"Then why is the Human Realm a planet?" Chi Anlin asked next.

"Small Worlds connected to the main world are unstable after all. If the main world trembles, the Small World is very likely to be destroyed. The method to prevent destruction is to completely become a part of the main world."

"Therefore, places like the God Realm or Demon Realm are just teleportation channels above the Human Realm; they have already merged into the main world and transformed into planets."

So that was it. Chi Anlin suddenly realized the truth; his long-standing doubts were finally resolved.

Therefore, without these teleportation points, it was very difficult for Blue Star to find other planets with life, because there were too few Great Worlds that had merged into the universe like this.

"Then what does 'Laws' mean?"

"Laws are something only Supreme Experts above the Saint Rank, that is, the Emperor Rank, can possess. An Ancient Rank Emperor's Rules can only be treated as a type of personal domain. After breaking through to the Saint Rank, they can be utilized within one's world. But for Great Emperors, their Laws are equivalent to the rules of the main universe."

So that was it. Chi Anlin suddenly realized that cultivators at the Great Emperor level could possess the Laws of the universe.

No wonder this guy was so afraid of him that he signed a life-and-death contract directly. It turned out he had mistaken him for a Great Emperor.

This was actually a pretty good method, but it couldn't be used often; after all, not everyone could be bluffed.

After understanding these realms, Chi Anlin began to order Prison Emperor around with satisfaction.

"Get my sword and coffin... this thing is really bad luck!"

However, bad luck aside, Chi Anlin would still go inside to cultivate; after all, this was a treasure that could allow him to accelerate his comprehension of the Great Dao.

"What's going on with all this blood?"

The protective shield vanished, and Prison Emperor brought Chi Anlin down to the ground.

"This is my blood," Prison Emperor said with a sigh.

"You have this much blood?"

Here we go again. Prison Emperor replied: "The Nether Race is small in number. When not shrunk, my body at my peak was half the size of the Human Realm."

"Then where do you live? Is your world very big?"

"We generally shrink our size to survive. The Nether Race below the King Realm doesn't have such exaggerated sizes; they are only over a hundred meters."

The corner of Chi Anlin's mouth twitched slightly. 'Only over a hundred meters'—it reminded him of that old dragon he met in the Fire Domain before.

He could let Blood Devouring King absorb some of this blood to increase its strength, and later synthesize a suitable physical body for Prison Emperor, so he would have two special Ant Soldiers.

Chi Anlin decided to name this type of Ant Soldier 'Ant Tribe Hero'.

One day, he would turn all those King Realm alien races that were hostile to him into Ant Soldiers!
