355: The Laws Belong to Me (Final Chapter)

Half a year later.

A giant python, as thick as a water vat, surged along the river current and charged into the sea.

Even with the abundant resources of the great river and its countless fish, Xu Le's appetite remained unsatisfied.

He was originally supposed to enter the sea a month ago.

However, he was intercepted by a terrifying giant shark, and the two fought a great battle.

Fearing that a third party might take advantage of the situation, Xu Le ultimately chose to retreat back to the river.

Just as he reached the estuary, a terrifying dark shadow rushed over.

"Get lost! This is my territory!"

"Back off, or I'll kill you!" Xu Le replied.

The shark was taken aback, remembering that last time the other party had politely asked for passage, even stating that he would forage at least a hundred thousand miles away.

This time, he actually started cursing directly!

Xu Le thought to himself that since he had been given face last time and didn't take it, if he were to be polite again this time, wouldn't he just be asking for trouble?

Moreover, compared to a month ago, he was nearly twice as strong; his own strength had almost reached its peak.

At the very least, the small fish and shrimp in the river could no longer provide him with sufficient energy.

In the mountain forests, he would have to go hungry nine times for every three days.

Glancing down at his status panel, his confidence swelled.

[Name] Xu Le

[Race] Wuhua Giant Python

[Cultivation] 999 Years

[Physical Body] 99.99

[Skills] Python Tail Whip, Constricting Strangle, Evil Python Devour, Mad Python Force Discharge, Water Manipulation

[heart power] 1

Not many skills, but absolutely practical!

"You seek death!"

The shark roared and pounced directly at Xu Le.

Both were colossal creatures; as they fought, they instantly stirred up stormy waves, sending the river water spilling onto the banks.

Small animals in the vicinity fled one after another; any that were not fast enough were caught in the crossfire, their lives and cultivation extinguished.

The shark flicked its tail, its body like an arrow released from a bowstring as it slammed into Xu Le's body.

The muscles all over Xu Le's body writhed, discharging the massive impact force, and he bit toward the giant shark's belly.

The giant shark likewise opened its terrifying maw and bit toward Xu Le.

The battle between the two was simple and unadorned; they went for the kill immediately without any probing.

Roar! Roar!

The bodies of the giant shark and the giant python collided, instantly kicking up wild waves ten chang high.

The clash of power was full of violent beauty.

On land.

A Shadow Leopard hid in the shadows, its massive body merging with the darkness until it was completely invisible.

A pair of cold, ghostly eyes watched the estuary quietly; it was waiting for an opportunity.

Perhaps an opportunity that would allow it to take a step further.

It wasn't just the Shadow Leopard; many colossal creatures were lurking in the dense forests or the sea, waiting for a fatal strike.

At their level, it was too difficult to progress.

If they could take one more step, they would directly transcend into sainthood.

Countless pairs of eyes waited quietly... Xu Le finally saw an opportunity and coiled around the giant shark. His muscles bulged, and his muscle fibers made a cracking sound like a bowstring being pulled.

The giant shark was in pain; its neck actually twisted nearly 50 degrees, and it bit into the python's body, performing a death roll.

The massive physical body carried terrifying power; even with Xu Le's formidable physique, a large chunk of flesh was torn away.

Blood splattered, quickly dyeing half the estuary red.

Xu Le was not afraid but delighted; his massive body writhed, directly coiling around the shark's neck, forcing it to maintain that 50-degree bend.

Gurgle, gurgle... Even for the giant shark, which was close to being a demon, maintaining its head at a 50-degree tilt for a long time was unbearable, and it began to struggle desperately.

Then, the giant python that Xu Le had become showed no mercy; even as the giant shark bit into its body, it did not loosen its grip at all.

The situation fell into a stalemate; both were peak giant beasts, and by now they were fueled by rage, each wanting to devour the other.

The spectating giant beasts were restless, but they were still waiting.

Under the sea.

A sea python secretly slipped into the battlefield of the python and the shark. Seeing that the strength of the two giant beasts was beginning to wane, it could no longer wait and opened its huge mouth to bite toward Xu Le's "seven-inch" vital spot.

Being a python itself, it was more familiar with the weaknesses of its own kind.

Just as it was about to succeed, the python and the shark suddenly let go and simultaneously attacked the sea python.

It was a trap!

This wasn't a case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits. It was clearly the snipe and the clam cooperating to fish for the old fisherman!

The sea python avoided Xu Le's sneak attack and tightly protected its vitals; as another python, this was its greatest enemy.

Just as it was thinking this, it suddenly felt a pain in its midsection, and more than half of its strength vanished.

Xu Le was about to devour the snake's head when he found that the giant shark was not keeping its word; it was actually devouring from the waist up, directly snatching the snake's head.

Xu Le whipped his tail, sending the giant shark flying, then opened his large mouth, swallowed the lower half of the sea python's body into his belly, and then headed upstream back home.

The surrounding giant beasts left the scene in disappointment.

Half a day later.

Because of the half-section of the python's body, Xu Le's heart power increased; after assigning points, he directly broke through the 100-point threshold.

His physical body was tempered to the extreme, and a sliver of the true Law of Heart materialized.

His dormant talent was finally activated.

Eon Divinity

You are the past, you are the present, you are the future. Eternal and indestructible, untouched by karma.

In an instant!

That sliver of the Law of Heart surged.

To be precise, it didn't even take an instant.

From the moment he truly birthed a shred of heart power and activated his talent, that shred of the Law of Heart directly ascended to the realm of perfection.

Unlike the small world opened by the gate of flesh and blood, this place was the Return to Ruins, the endpoint of all worlds; compared to the God Realm, it was half a level higher.

The Law of Heart he comprehended reached perfection immediately.

So, this is the power of the heart!

Xu Le pointed a finger toward the giant shark that had played him.

At this moment, the giant shark was still thinking about how it had just snatched the upper half of the water python to prevent Xu Le from obtaining the venom sac; seeing the finger pointing down from the sky, it was suddenly filled with terror.

The shadow of death loomed over its heart.

Unfortunately, that finger was like divine might; it simply could not resist.

It watched helplessly as that finger descended.

"What happened to me?"

The giant shark began to check itself and found no problems; not only that, it felt the water python in its stomach beginning to digest rapidly.

Soon, a thread of the Law of Heart was born.

"I've finally broken through!"

The giant shark was pleasantly surprised.

Not only that, countless mysteries of the Law of Heart drilled into its brain; its cultivation surged as if something were force-feeding it.

Xu Le didn't look at the giant shark clone again; thanks to the upgraded versions of the "All Ascend to Heaven" and "Heart of Competition" traits, the giant shark clone would soon reach his realm.

Not just the giant shark, but the other contracted entities in his Contract Space could also reach his realm.

The prerequisite was that his main body had to comprehend the corresponding rules.

In any other place, this would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

But in the Return to Ruins world, laws were the easiest things to comprehend.

Xu Le was about to leave the world constructed by the Law of Heart when his heart stirred, and he sent the Blood Marshal and the Nebula General out.

The two returned to Blue Star; hearing Xu Le's voice transmission, their hearts were shaken to the core.

"Oh no, if he knows what we were planning, we're likely dead."

With a single look, the two understood each other's intentions.

Flee!

"Report to the Devil Emperor, atone for our crimes with merit!"

Their eyes met again.

Without saying a word, the two made a decision with two glances, fleeing Blue Star at high speed and heading toward the Devil Emperor's palace.

After two teleports, their bodies turned to ash and dissipated.

In his final thought, the Blood Marshal took out all the formation flags; before the array could be set up, it turned to ash and vanished.

"This is the Law of Karma..."

"How did he comprehend it, and even reach such a realm..."

The Blood Marshal would never get an answer; his soul simply dissipated.

Xu Le had not only comprehended the perfection-level Law of Karma, but also the perfection-level Law of Fire, Law of Water, Law of Devouring... any law the world possessed, as long as he had it, it would be directly revealed within the Return to Ruins.

He could comprehend them rapidly, and once comprehended, with the boost from the Eon Divinity talent, they would directly be in a state of perfection.

Once possessed, it was the peak.

On this day, he stepped into the world constructed by the Law of Reality.

Placing a blade of grass in his hand, he refined it rapidly; a thread of the Law of Reality was born, and then it was directly perfected.

There was no process, only the result.

Just as he was about to leave.

An angry voice came through.

"How dare a fellow Daoist invade my Divine Domain!"

Xu Le looked over; the newcomer was precisely the Devil Emperor.

The Law of Reality he had comprehended was nearly perfect.

Seeing that Xu Le did not answer, the Devil Emperor roared and directly deployed his Divine Domain of the Law of Reality.

Within the Divine Domain, those with laws weaker than his could not use a shred of law power; they could only be like an ordinary peak god-level expert, their life and death dependent on his single thought.

"I only took a single thread of law, why must you be so aggressive, fellow Daoist?"

"Hahaha, all under heaven belongs to the King. Within my Divine Domain, every blade of grass and every tree belongs to me. You took a blade of my grass; how about you serve me for a billion years?"

The Devil Emperor laughed loudly; having ruled the Xiyi Continent for billions of years, he had long ago developed a disposition that looked down upon the world.

Xu Le frowned: "But this is the Return to Ruins."

"So what? I control the passage into this place; I am the master of this world! Don't like it? Then kill me, otherwise, submit!"

The Devil Emperor laughed, his overbearing aura matchless.

This confidence was not arrogance, but a self-assurance born from being invincible in the God Realm for billions of years, nearly becoming a law itself.

It was just that there didn't seem to be a Law of Confidence in the world.

But it also made his strength a notch higher than experts of the same level; the god of light next door was a notch weaker than him.

"Good idea," Xu Le replied.

?

The Devil Emperor doubted if he had heard correctly.

However, he was confident he wouldn't hear wrong.

Even if he had heard wrong.

The person who made him hear wrong should be the one to die!

Because he was the Devil Emperor!

The Devil Emperor who swept through the world and was invincible under heaven!

The Devil Emperor threw a punch, the Law of Reality erupting; everything returned to the starting point, and things returned to their essence.

The spiritual energy in the air even vanished, turning into the original chaos.

Xu Le pointed a finger!

The Devil Emperor's Law of Reality dissipated!

"What?"

The Devil Emperor was shocked and wanted to withdraw from the Return to Ruins world immediately, but unfortunately, his own divine power turned into reality, and the Devil Emperor became a mere mortal.

"No!"

The Devil Emperor's consciousness let out a wail, and along with his physical body, he was reduced to ash... Xiyi Continent.

The Demon Palace.

A figure appeared out of thin air on the dragon throne; the Devil Emperor took a deep breath, his heart filled with fury: "I almost really died. Fortunately, I have resurrection methods. Who was that beast?"

"No, I must notify the others; an existence above the absolute peak has appeared in this world."

"Could it be that above God, there is an even higher realm?"

He was about to reach out when he suddenly sensed a threat of death; just as he was about to flee, his soul and body suddenly collapsed, turning to ash and dissipating.

Countless versions of the Devil Emperor resurrected, followed immediately by death.

"What exactly is this?"

"Why do I die as soon as I resurrect?"

"What kind of freak is this?"

After dying time and again, the Devil Emperor completely lost his temper; of his tens of billions of resurrection methods, every time he resurrected, he would die immediately, as if it were predestined.

The Devil Emperor broke down; he was no longer willing to trigger his resurrection methods.

But those resurrection methods still took effect one by one, and then failed one by one.

Resurrection was the cause, death was the effect; this was the Law of Karma.

Until the last shred of karma ended, the Devil Emperor was completely reduced to ash.

Within the Xiyi Continent.

The demons were terrified.

In the entire Xiyi Continent, not only had the Devil Emperor vanished, but his blood relatives and confidants had all disappeared without a trace, as if they had gone into hiding.

Everyone began to suspect if the Beidian Continent and the other continents had joined forces and were about to attack, and the Devil Emperor had taken his family and fled.

When the other continents also came over to inquire for news, the God Realm completely panicked.

A Return to Ruins passage sat in the Xiyi Continent, but no one dared to lay a finger on it.

Those with strength fled one after another.

But all were intercepted.

If they offended some high-dimensional big shot, wouldn't the other continents also be in trouble?

Slaughter broke out everywhere.

The Xiyi Continent was about to turn into the most terrifying purgatory.

But people found that anyone who dared to take action would immediately have their lives and cultivation extinguished; everyone calmed down.

In the face of death, there is nothing that cannot be calmed.

The other continents became even more convinced of the existence of the big shot and became even more low-key... Ten years later.

Xu Le walked to the last place of law.

Over these years, he had already comprehended 129,599 laws.

By comprehending the last one, he could complete the Great Cycle of the One Yuan number.

The last one was Time.

Xu Le stepped into the small world and became a student attending school.

The next day, Xu Le found himself back to yesterday.

The entire world seemed to stay on the same day.

Time was indeed the strongest law.

Even in the Return to Ruins, it was very difficult to comprehend its mysteries.

Three years later, Xu Le finally decoded the Law of Time, only to find that the next day was the end of the world.

All the nuclear bombs in the entire world exploded simultaneously.

That was a world without magic; the impending destruction was a dead end.

Xu Le naturally wouldn't die; his 129,599 laws were not just for show; he couldn't die even if he wanted to.

Unless all worlds in the universe were destroyed, all laws collapsed, and the Return to Ruins itself returned to ruins, ending everything.

But that was impossible.

Countless worlds were being destroyed, and countless worlds were also being born.

Xu Le stepped back into the small world of time.

Repeating again and again, through cycle after cycle; he didn't know how many years had passed, as time had no meaning at all.

On this day, during yet another decoding of the rules of time, Xu Le finally comprehended a sliver of the Law of Time.

At the same time, the Law of Time reached perfection.

With 129,600 laws returning to his body, Xu Le's soul began to transcend.

The Eon Divinity talent evolved along with it... In the land of chaos.

A giant suddenly woke up.

His gaze turned from dazed to clear.

"I am the One!"

"The sole existence in chaos."

"Did I wake up so quickly again this time?"

"Sigh! My talent is simply too strong!"

"If I don't seal this talent, I can't sleep soundly at all."

"But I have no way to seal it!"

"Should I create another character obsessed with women?"

"Forget it, those dreams are too unsightly. I'm only 15 trillion years old; I'm still a virgin."

"The last dream where the whole world was filled with my sons and daughters was too terrifying!"

"This time, I'll create a 'salted fish'!"

"The background will be a super powerful second-generation; the father is an upright top official, the mother is a business tycoon, the sister is a brother-obsessed genius, a top-tier esper, while he himself is addicted to games, doesn't do any proper work, and has no interest in women..."

"Setting complete, start the dream!"
