95: Thunder Law

“Xiao Zhuo entered our Yao-Mo territory, massacred several cities, and even killed our Blood Demon Clan’s Grand Elder. Does the Human Race wish to declare war on my Yao-Mo Clan?” Blood Ancestor’s face was clouded with gloom, dark red Devilish Qi coiled around his fingertips, and a Blood Wind (bloody wind) blew forth.

“Declare war?” Azure Heaven’s lips curled into a playful smirk. “How much fighting strength do your Three Demon Ancestors of the Yao-Mo Clan have left?”

During this time, he had already gained some understanding of many things in this world. Earlier, he had already discerned that Blood Ancestor had long been affected by Devilish Qi, so it wasn't difficult to guess why the Three Demon Ancestors of the Yao-Mo Clan hadn't annihilated the Great Chen.

These Three Demon Ancestors of the Yao-Mo Clan should all have achieved Ancestor Level by leveraging the Devilish Qi from the Demon Abyss, but how could Devilish Qi be easy to deal with? These three demons were made by Devilish Qi, and ruined by Devilish Qi.

It was likely that the three demons had to resist the Devilish Qi’s erosion of their minds at all times.

If a great war were truly to erupt, and the three demons fought against him and Prince Hong, it was questionable whether they could even maintain their sanity.

Blood Ancestor’s pupils suddenly constricted, but in an instant, he burst into maniacal laughter: “Azure Heaven, old ghost, can you bear the lives and deaths of the Great Chen’s tens of millions of living beings?”

“I naturally cannot manage the Great Chen! But Yuyang Sect is a subordinate sect of my Taiyi Sect, and Xiao Zhuo is also my Junior. I will protect him, what will you do?” Immortal Master Azure Heaven sneered, taking a half-step into the air, and the cloud heaven mirror appeared in his hand.

“Good! You are very good!” A vein throbbed slightly on Blood Ancestor’s forehead. He raised his arm slightly, and dark red Devilish Qi surged, causing the overwhelming pressure to intensify once more.

The dark red blood mist swirling around Blood Ancestor erupted, sending Xuan Wei and the others stumbling backward from the shockwave.

The earth veins wailed under the pressure of the two supreme powerhouses, and the entire Yuyang Mountain trembled incessantly.

Immortal Master Azure Heaven’s eyes narrowed slightly. Xuan Wei and the other Yuyang Sect members, having regained their footing, watched Blood Ancestor with tense expressions.

If these two started fighting, the Yuyang Sect would likely be completely destroyed.

However, under everyone’s anxious gazes, Blood Ancestor’s expression suddenly returned to calm, and the surging Devilish Qi on his body also receded.

From the reactions of the Yuyang Sect members and Azure Heaven, he had already guessed that Xiao Zhuo truly hadn't returned. Instead of fighting Azure Heaven to a mutual destruction here, it would be better to return and wait for him.

Although he didn't know why Xiao Zhuo would go on a killing spree in Yuzhou, he speculated that he must still be in Yuzhou, simply using some secret method to evade his perception.

After figuring this out, Blood Ancestor turned and swept his arm horizontally, and a rift reappeared. After a cold glance at Azure Heaven and the many Yuyang Sect Disciples, Blood Ancestor stepped into the rift and vanished.

After the spatial rift opened by Blood Ancestor completely closed, Xuan Wei then flew to Immortal Master Azure Heaven's side, bowed, and thanked him: “Thank you, Sect Master, for saving my Yuyang Sect.”

“No matter! However, Blood Ancestor will certainly not let this rest. You are still too weak! In two days, my Taiyi Sect will reopen its mountain gate. You may come to listen to the Dao.” Azure Heaven, seeing Blood Ancestor disappear, scanned the high-ranking members of the Yuyang Sect, waved his hand, and instructed them.

“Yes, Sect Master!” Everyone responded in unison.

Immortal Master Azure Heaven nodded, a rift opened before him, and then he stepped through it.

In an underground space beneath a certain lake in Yuzhou.

A lightning imprint had just formed between Xiao Zhuo’s eyebrows.

Intense lightning instantly bloomed around his body, like a wandering Dragon, circling the entire underground space, constantly moving. After more than ten breaths, Xiao Zhuo slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was dark and profound, with occasional flashes of electricity deep within his pupils.

“I’ve finally grasped a trace of the Law of Thunder!” Xiao Zhuo gently exhaled a turbid breath, feeling a sense of relief wash over his entire being.

He no longer knew how long he had been comprehending the Law of Thunder in his Sea of Consciousness, only that his entire mind was now exhausted to the extreme.

The complexity and profundity of the Law had forced him to exhaust his mental energy just to barely grasp a fraction of it.

He had now at least reached the true Prodigy level, his Comprehension Ability no weaker than Xiao Changkong’s, and with the assistance of his Heaven-Observing Divine Eye, he could see through parts of the Law of Thunder’s structure. Yet, comprehending this fraction of the Law of Thunder had nearly depleted his Divine Soul.

It was unimaginable how Immortal Master Azure Heaven and Prince Hong managed to control the Law.

Was that truly something a human could accomplish?

The extremely fatigued Xiao Zhuo only wanted to sleep at this moment.

So he did exactly that.

He slept for three days and three nights. When he awoke, the fatigue originating from his Soul had vanished, and he felt that his condition was better than ever before.

He shifted his consciousness to the panel.

Because the Purgatory Demonic Mark had fused with the Grand Beginning Glazed Indestructible Body, the Purgatory Demonic Body was no longer its original version, and its progress had directly reached the eighth layer’s limit.

The Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture also stopped at the eighth layer’s limit because Xiao Zhuo was not yet able to control the Law. The Grand Beginning Glazed Indestructible Body was merely a prerequisite for cultivating the ninth layer, while comprehending the Law was the beginning of the Shattering Realm (Cultivation Class).

His Divine Soul had also unknowingly advanced another stage, reaching the sixth-order level. At this level, in Xiao Zhuo’s understanding, it was already comparable to the Shattering Realm (Cultivation Class).

It must be due to the qualitative change in his Divine Soul brought about by successfully comprehending a trace of the Law, but this was only the beginning.

The True Explanation of Soul Refining could now be upgraded again, and most importantly, the Law deduction, which Xiao Zhuo could finally begin.

However, he still patiently upgraded the True Explanation of Soul Refining first.

He had already deeply experienced the benefits of a powerful Divine Soul; if his Divine Soul hadn’t been strong enough, he probably wouldn’t have been able to successfully comprehend this trace of the Law of Thunder, even if he had exhausted his Divine Soul.

After consuming over ten thousand Attribute Points, the True Explanation of Soul Refining’s cultivation reached a thousand years, and the panel indicated that this Cultivation Technique had reached its limit.

In other words, the limit of the True Explanation of Soul Refining could only be a thousand years of cultivation, but as the True Explanation of Soul Refining reached its limit, Xiao Zhuo felt that his Divine Soul had also reached a critical state on the verge of transformation.

He had a premonition that as long as his Law of Thunder improved, his Divine Soul would very likely undergo a tremendous change.

soul infant! These two words appeared in Xiao Zhuo’s mind. This was the highest Realm of Divine Soul mentioned in the True Explanation of Soul Refining.

And at this moment, he had clearly reached the threshold of touching the soul infant Realm.

Collecting his thoughts, Xiao Zhuo mentally touched the Law deduction on the panel.

Immediately after, Xiao Zhuo once again entered the White Mist Space.

That profound power reappeared, only this time, it transformed into tangible thunder runes.

It began to constantly evolve before Xiao Zhuo’s eyes. Xiao Zhuo’s spirit was unconsciously drawn to it, and he began to immerse himself in the evolution of this thunder rune.

Xiao Zhuo’s shallow understanding of the Law made him realize that the guiding force of the White Mist Space was showing him the birth and evolution of the Law of Thunder. What he needed to do was to follow the evolution of the rune before him to evolve his own Law of Thunder rune.

This was the first time the profound power did not directly guide Xiao Zhuo in his Cultivate. Perhaps this was the difference between Law deduction and Cultivation Technique Cultivate.

Thus, Xiao Zhuo sat cross-legged in the White Mist Space, beginning the day-in, day-out, year-in, year-out deduction of the Law.

The progress of the Law of Thunder also began to slowly increase.

Each Law deduction consumed ten thousand Attribute Points, allowing Xiao Zhuo to perform one year of Law rune evolution in the White Mist Space, following the guiding force.

This function did not consume anything else; the only consumption was Attribute Points.

As Xiao Zhuo comprehended tirelessly day and night, the Law of Thunder rune had already been initially constructed successfully. At the same time, Xiao Zhuo felt a sudden tremor in his Divine Soul.

He understood in his heart that his Divine Soul was about to advance...
