298: Original law!

Soon, Chen Fan finished reading the second volume of "Time Restriction" as well.

At this moment, only four words remained in his mind—

“Incredible!”

It was clearly a secret art about time, yet it was intertwined with some secrets of space, multiplying its power.

And in the first two volumes, there were a total of thirty-seven powerful secret arts, all of which Chen Fan mastered one by one.

“You don’t know until you see it; once you see it, you’re shocked. I wonder which senior created this collection of three volumes of time and space secret arts!” Chen Fan closed the third metal book, his mind inexplicably excited.

The "Time Restriction" left behind by Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord opened a door to a new world for Chen Fan,

and even made Chen Fan’s comprehension of the seventh and eighth forms of the "Blood Blade Manual" loosen slightly.

If the first volume of "Time Restriction" was slightly inferior to the "Blood Blade Manual",

then the subsequent second volume far surpassed what Blood Blade Venerable left behind, reaching an inconceivable level.

“This is truly amazing!” Chen Fan couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

The second volume of "Time Restriction" not only contained theoretical explanations but also descriptions of practical combat, detailing how to better utilize time and space to defeat opponents.

Therefore, after reading these two volumes, Chen Fan had many new insights.

Possessing the memory soul crystals of Blood Blade Venerable and Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord, his combat experience was incredibly profound.

However, these experiences needed to be absorbed and integrated by him before they could truly become his own.

Otherwise, no matter how much combat experience he had, it would just be a treasure mountain standing in front of him, isolated.

“Secret arts, they can actually unleash different powers through the combination of various weapons!”

“I wonder what realm that great existence is in, a Universe Lord? Or even a Universe Strongest?” Chen Fan pondered silently in his heart.

Next, he placed the second volume of "Time Restriction" beside him, picked up the heaviest third volume, and began to read it with full concentration.

The level of the third volume of "Time Restriction" far surpassed the "Blood Blade Manual" left by Blood Blade Venerable; its profundity was clearly dozens or even hundreds of times greater than the second volume.

So, even with Chen Fan’s top-tier comprehension, after reading it the first time, he only understood about sixty to seventy percent.

This time, Chen Fan felt that the secret arts revealed in the third volume were incredibly profound, and most of them even required reaching the realm of an Undying Spiritual God to be able to be cast with divine power.

The current Chen Fan couldn’t even get started.

Once he encountered chapters that required divine power, Chen Fan skipped them directly and continued to browse other secret arts.

“So, Origin Power can be released like this!”

“My previous power exertion was only superficial?”

“Oh, I understand.”

Chen Fan flipped through the thickest third volume of the book, completely immersed in it.

Chen Fan only spent most of a day to fully learn the 37 secret arts in the first and second volumes.

However, among the more than seventy secret arts recorded in the third volume, less than half were suitable for the current Chen Fan.

The other secret arts all required divine power to activate, and could only be cast after Chen Fan reached the Undying level at the very least.

Chen Fan didn’t care about this at all.

These secret arts were all very precious to him.

Because these profound secret arts all pointed directly to the depths of the laws, and Chen Fan’s study of secret arts was actually an enlightenment of the Origin Laws.

So, this is why so many strong individuals in the universe desperately vie for powerful secret arts; it’s all for the sake of comprehending the origin and enhancing their combat power.

With this thought, Chen Fan selected two top-tier fifth-rank Origin Power weapons from his moon of destiny space—the Fiery Evil Blade and the Azure sea Saber.

These two Origin Power weapons, imbued with water and fire attributes respectively, were placed on either side of Chen Fan, their overflowing aura helping Chen Fan better comprehend the two major Origin Laws.

Previously, under the guidance of Liu Qiyue, Chen Fan had already gained an initial understanding of the fire attribute law; next would be the initial understanding of the water attribute law... Hmph!!

Exhaling a long breath of turbid air, Chen Fan put down the third golden book in his hand.

“What an excellent book, I should let Ma Liang and the others study it too!” Chen Fan looked at the three ancient golden books, imbued with an ancient aura, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

“As expected of "Time Restriction"; just looking at the cover makes one feel as if they are trapped in a time cage, with nowhere to hide.”

Looking back at the cover of the book again, Chen Fan was filled with emotion.

At the same time, he also noticed the terrifying aspect of this secret art—"Dimensionality Reduction Strike!"

Hmph!

Exhaling another large breath of turbid air, Chen Fan stood up and walked to the window of the Inheritance Hall.

Looking down from a hundred meters high, all that met his eyes was a lush green bamboo forest.

Rustle rustle rustle!!

The gentle breeze caressed the boundless bamboo sea, swaying with the wind, like a woman adorning herself, graceful and dignified!

“Qi Yue, how long have I been reading!” Chen Fan placed the three volumes of books onto the counter behind him one by one and asked.

“Counting today, it should be the sixth day,” Liu Qiyue said, circling the pillar of inheritance left by Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord.

“Six days? I didn’t expect it to take so long.” Chen Fan nodded.

“Is six days a long time?”

Liu Qiyue asked, and then, without waiting for Chen Fan’s reply, she answered to herself: “You know, once ‘time’ or ‘space’ are involved, these higher laws,

even the time it takes to gain an initial understanding is calculated in tens of thousands of years. You, on the other hand, are a prodigy, born close to time and space…”

“Tens of thousands of years?” Chen Fan was puzzled, then shook his head: “That’s impossible!”

“There are only a mere fifty secret arts; it shouldn’t take that many years!”

Liu Qiyue smiled and did not continue.

“Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord also rose to prominence because of this "Time Restriction". For you now, integrating the Time Law with any of the three major Origin Laws of Water, Fire, and Metal is actually somewhat inappropriate, as it is the Space Law that governs the five lower laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.”

“Hmm?” Chen Fan’s eyes widened suddenly.

“But right now, I’ve only gained some understanding of the two major Origin Laws of Water and Fire, and even that is just barely an introduction. Is there any way to quickly improve?”

Chen Fan asked, somewhat perplexed.

In his current state, when his combat power erupted, he could sweep aside all Universe Rank strong individuals.

But to break through further, he not only needed his domain to advance to the ninth level, but also to deepen his comprehension of the laws.

And now, besides Liu Qiyue and these secret arts of Time Restriction, Chen Fan could only rely on the memory soul crystals of the two Universe Overlords.

As for anything else, even if he wanted to learn, he had no way to do so.

“Hahahaha, little master, look at your dejected state!” Liu Qiyue smiled charmingly and said: “If you want to find a teacher, then work hard to break through in the Blade Hell Corridor. After the hundredth floor,

for every ten floors you pass, you can choose a powerful existence who specializes in a certain Origin Law to teach you. The duration will depend on your performance in clearing the levels!”

“Don’t underestimate the Blade Hell Corridor; its existence is much, much older than Blood Blade…”

“Okay, I’ll digest these secret arts first, then I’ll challenge the Blade Hell Corridor again right away!!”

“Mm.”

“…”
