118: A suicidal furnace opening! [Thanks to '该溜子1087' for the update reminder]
"Damn it!"
"Isn't this just setting a trap for the treasure?!"
Su Jue understood immediately.
Elizabeth, that cheap mother of his, never intended for him to complete the trial smoothly!
Gathering a hundred Laws was not the end at all!
It was merely the start of another, far more perilous, near-Death trial!
How to survive this desperate situation of internal and external attack!
This was the true core of the trial!
"Dead System, calculate quickly!!"
Su Jue's consciousness sank into the Everything Analysis System.
"Calculate all feasible survival plans under the current conditions!"
[Performing Superluminal Calculation...]
[Plan One: Immediately activate the 'hourglass of time' to reset your state to three seconds ago. Success Rate: 100%. However, this does not solve the fundamental problem. Three seconds later, you will face the same desperate situation again.]
[Plan Two: Forcibly detonate the 'fragment of the annihilation demonic sword'. There is a 73% probability that its Law of Destruction can temporarily neutralize the Law Riot within your body and the energy of the 'world tree fruit'. However, there is a 99% probability afterward that you will suffer a backlash from the 'Law of Destruction' and be reduced to nothingness.]
[Plan Three: ...]
A series of plans popped up, but following every single one was a bloody "Death Rate."
Not a single one offered a true path to Life!
"Damn it!"
Su Jue gritted his teeth, feeling the acceleration of his body's collapse.
Large chunks of his skin had already begun to peel off, exposing the bones beneath, which flowed with golden light.
Within the dimensional world, the heavens were collapsing and the earth was tearing apart.
The crack in the world tree fruit was growing wider and wider, and the leaking Law of Life energy had formed a green storm that swept across the entire world.
The bottle of star river mother spring was also swept up by the storm; its stopper loosened, and the spring water containing the Power of Creation spilled out. When it collided with the Law of Life energy, it immediately triggered an even more violent Space Oscillation!
The earth was cracking, and the sky was shattering.
His world was heading toward Destruction.
"Is there really... no other way?"
Even Su Jue's consciousness couldn't help but waver.
Just then.
an icon he had overlooked appeared in the corner of the system panel.
It was a small furnace icon.
The law furnace!
A new feature updated in System Version 2.0!
"It can fuse and derive different Laws mastered by the Host..."
The introduction of this function immediately flashed through Su Jue's mind.
An utterly insane idea began to sprout in his heart!
Since he couldn't block them... since he couldn't suppress them... then... he would throw all one hundred Laws, along with the out-of-control Saint King Level treasures, into this furnace!
Let them tear at each other! Let them devour each other!
And finally, fuse into a brand new power, one that belongs uniquely to Su Jue!
The moment this thought appeared, his heart began to pound wildly.
"System!"
"Immediately evaluate the success rate of forcefully fusing all Laws in my body and all out-of-control energy within the dimensional world by throwing them into the law furnace!"
[...]
The System remained silent for a full three seconds.
Three seconds later.
A line of blood-red warning text, accompanied by a violent flashing effect, popped out.
[WARNING! This action is categorized as 'Suicide'!]
[Success Rate: 0.00001%!]
[Consequence of Failure: The Host's Divine Soul and Physical Body, along with the 'dimensional world', will be melted by uncontrollable Laws and completely return to Chaos within 0.01 seconds! Host, please think twice!!!]
0.00001%?
Seeing this number, Su Jue actually laughed.
"Heh."
"If there's a probability, doesn't that mean success is possible?"
Since falling into the Space-Time Wormhole, when in his Life had he not been dancing on the edge of a knife?
Fortune is sought in danger!
Power, too, can only be squeezed out between Life and Death!
Furthermore... "I possess the Potential of a Great Emperor!"
"A mere Law Riot wants me dead?"
Su Jue no longer hesitated in the slightest.
His will, like a Monarch's Decree, roared down within the system space!
"System!"
"Activate the law furnace for me!"
"Pull the power to maximum!"
"Throw everything that can be burned into it!"
"Today!"
"Either I refine an ability that surpasses all others through the ages!"
"Or, I'll be cremated on the spot and give myself the most brilliant funeral!"
Buzz—!!!!
Following the issuance of Su Jue's will.
Deep within his Divine Soul, the ancient law furnace roared to Life!
The furnace lid opened with a "boom"!
A terrifying suction force erupted from the furnace opening!
In an instant.
Su Jue felt as if his Divine Soul was being simultaneously torn by ten thousand hands, then kneaded into a ball and forcibly stuffed into a scalding iron can!
The intense pain originating from the essence of his soul prevented him from even screaming!
Immediately following.
The hundred rioting Law Origins within his body were forcibly dragged by the suction force, turning into streams of multicolored torrents that screamed as they rushed into the law furnace!
Flame Law, Ice Law, Law of Gravity, Space Law, Law of Death, Law of Life, Law of Deception... even the Saint King Level treasures—the world tree fruit, the star river mother spring, the Source Crystal of the Annihilation Demon God... their uncontrolled energies were also forcibly extracted, transforming into thicker, more dazzling beams of light, and were swallowed whole!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire furnace trembled violently!
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple... countless colors frantically intertwined, collided, and annihilated inside the furnace!
Ultimately, all colors vanished.
Only one thing remained... pure "Chaos"!
Pain!
Deep into the marrow!
Burning the Divine Soul!
Su Jue's consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred within the "Chaos" torrent.
Inside the law furnace.
The hundred Law Origins had completely lost their original forms, transforming into the most primitive energy particles, like a pot of boiling Chaos porridge.
They no longer had attribute distinctions, only the instinctual mutual devouring and confrontation.
This was the most savage and primitive gladiator match!
The winner would devour everything and become the new sovereign.
And the loser would completely perish, leaving not a single trace behind.
"This won't do..."
"I can't let them mess around like this..."
Su Jue desperately maintained his last shred of clarity, enduring the intense pain of his Divine Soul being torn apart.
He knew that if he allowed these Law Origins to grow wildly, the result would only be the birth of a deformed, uncontrollable monster.
Furthermore, the entire furnace might explode completely because it couldn't withstand this level of confrontation.
He must provide guidance!
But what could he use to guide them?
These were Law Origins! They were the embodiment of the Universe's Rules!
With his current strength, he simply couldn't interfere in this kind of Battle of the Gods!
"Wait..."
"Guidance..."
Just as Su Jue's consciousness was about to be swallowed by the Chaos, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind.
