47: Void Relics, Enlightenment of the Laws

With the fall of the Annihilation Lords Branch Spirit, the heavy darkness and sense of oppression permeating the canyon gradually dissipated. Although the overall desolation and deathly silence of the Myriad Worlds Battlefield remained unchanged, it felt as if a great weight had been lifted from everyone's hearts, making even their breathing much smoother. The joy of victory briefly washed away the fatigue and tension of the past few days.

Lin Fan hovered in the air, feeling the Innate Chaos Qi within his body grow slightly stronger, along with the Power of Annihilation being slowly refined and transformed into pure Origin energy within his Chaos Domain. Defeating the Divided Soul had not only eliminated a massive threat but also deepened his understanding of the Law of Annihilation by several degrees, making the Foundation of his Chaos Dao increasingly stable.

"We shouldn't stay here long; the fall of the Annihilation Lords Branch Spirit will surely be sensed by its main body," Lin Fan said to the group, restraining his aura. Despite his great increase in strength, he did not become complacent, knowing full well that compared to the main body of the Lord of Annihilation, he was still insignificant.

Everyone nodded, preparing to evacuate this place of conflict. However, just as they were about to move, a strange and subtle fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the canyon, the core area where the Annihilation Lords Branch Spirit had originally been perched. That fluctuation was not dark or evil; instead, it carried an ancient, pure rhythm that seemed to originate from the world's Origin.

"Hmm?" Lin Fan was the first to notice, his gaze like lightning as he looked toward the direction of the fluctuation. It was at the very bottom of the canyon, a pile of rubble that had completely collapsed due to the previous battle.

"There's something down there." Ethereal Moon sensed it too; her Power of Reincarnation was particularly sensitive to this kind of Origin fluctuation.

The Primordial Void Dragon's eyes lit up. "Such pure spatial and Origin fluctuations... could it be a void legacy?"

"void legacy?" Everyone looked at her.

"Legend has it that the Myriad Worlds Battlefield was once the core of the ultimate ancient battle. Countless mighty beings fell here, and their personal Immortal Caves, Small Worlds, and even their own insights into the Great Dao sometimes drifted into the Void Realm due to spatial shattering, or manifested under specific conditions. These are known as Void Legacies," the Primordial Void Dragon explained. "This place was once the lair of the Annihilation Lords Branch Spirit. Its presence here might not have been just to guard the portal, but also to suppress or absorb the power of this Legacy?"

Hearing this, everyone was moved. The Legacy of an ancient mighty being was of incalculable value!

"Let's go take a look," Lin Fan decided immediately. If they could obtain an ancient Legacy or treasure, their chances of opposing the Annihilation would increase.

The group arrived before the pile of rubble. With a wave of Lin Fan's hand, currents of Chaos Qi acted like invisible giant hands, easily moving aside the mountain of boulders. Below, a spatial rift flickering with faint silver light was revealed, just wide enough for one person to pass through. The pure Origin fluctuation was coming precisely from this rift.

The rift was extremely unstable, its edges constantly twisting and emitting dangerous spatial cutting forces.

"I'll go down first to scout the way." Lin Fan, bold due to his skill, had his Chaos Domain shimmering around him, protecting him perfectly as he stepped into the spatial rift.

The scene before his eyes shifted as if he had passed through a layer of water, and he appeared within a strange independent space.

The space was not large, about a hundred feet in diameter, surrounded by flowing spatial barriers that looked like liquid silver. In the center of the space, three items hovered:

On the left was an ancient scroll that was neither silk nor metal, emitting a soft white light.

On the right was a strange piece of metal about the size of a human head, constantly shifting with rainbow-colored lusters, with what seemed to be liquid flowing inside.

But the most eye-catching thing was a chaotic orb of light hovering right in the center, constantly flickering and seemingly composed of countless tiny runes. The pure Origin fluctuation originated from here!

"Is this a Great Dao Law Origin Fragment?!" Lin Fan's pupils constricted as waves of shock rose in his heart. The feeling the chaotic orb gave him was similar to the Law of Annihilation fragment he had obtained before, but it was purer, more ancient, and its attribute was not Annihilation, but a kind of power full of vitality and creativity!

He suppressed his excitement and first extended his Divine Sense toward the ancient scroll.

The moment his Divine Sense made contact, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind—the Compendium of Void Artifact Refining! It wasn't a specific Cultivation Technique, but a record of the ancient Void God Race's knowledge of various Heaven And Earth Treasures, methods of tempering, and numerous blueprints and insights for refining divine Sharp Weapons! It even included inconceivable methods for using Chaos Qi, Power of the Stars, and even Power of Annihilation for Artifact Refining! For Lin Fan, who possessed the star pagoda, Chaos Qi, and was about to collect a large amount of Materials, its value was beyond measure!

Next, he looked at the strange metal—myriad law source gold! This item was a strange metal born alongside the Origin Laws at the beginning of the world. It was naturally attuned to all Laws and extremely malleable, capable of perfectly carrying and amplifying powers of various attributes. It was an excellent material for refining a lifebound divine weapon! Lin Fan almost instantly thought of his own lifebound tool that had yet to take shape!

Finally, his gaze fell upon that most precious chaotic orb of light. He cautiously extended his Divine Sense into it.

"Creation vitality, world-making..." intermittent fragments of intent containing endless mysteries drifted over. This was not a complete Creation Law, but a Creation Law Origin Fragment! Though only a fragment, it contained the supreme true meanings of "creation," "life," and "evolution," perfectly matching the parts of Lin Fan's Chaos Dao related to "opening the heavens" and "evolving all things"! If he could refine it, his Chaos Domain would no longer just be a simulated prototype of a world, but would truly begin to nurture life, moving toward becoming a real world! This was of vital importance for opposing the Annihilation that represented the "end"!

["System," Lin Fan suppressed his wild joy and checked in at this location, "Check in at the void legacy."]

[Ding! Check-in location detected—void legacy (containing ancient Legacy and Law Origin), meets special check-in conditions. Check-in successful!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Time Dust (one wisp)!]

A wisp of light, so faint it was almost unnoticeable and seemed to exist outside of time, merged into Lin Fan's Sea of Consciousness. Time Dust: Contains a trace of the mysteries of the Time Law. After refining, one can gain a preliminary perception of differences in the flow of time, which has miraculous effects during Cultivate, enlightenment, and combat, though it is extremely difficult to control.

Time Law! Lin Fan's heart was shaken once again! Space is respected, but Time is king! The gains from this void legacy and the System check-in far exceeded his expectations! Without hesitation, he immediately stowed away the Compendium of Void Artifact Refining, the myriad law source gold, and the Creation Law Origin Fragment. As for the Time Dust, he didn't dare touch it easily for the time being.

When he stepped out of the spatial rift with his gains, the people outside immediately surrounded him.

"How was it?" Zi Linger asked impatiently.

Lin Fan briefly explained the situation and shared the information from the Compendium of Void Artifact Refining with everyone. Such a sacred text of Artifact Refining would be of great benefit to the overall strength of the team.

Hearing "Creation Law Origin Fragment" and "myriad law source gold," everyone gasped, their eyes filled with envy but no greed. They knew clearly that these treasures would only reach their maximum value and help oppose the Annihilation in Lin Fan's hands.

"The Legacy here has been collected, and the space is about to become unstable. We must leave immediately," Lin Fan said, sensing that the spatial rift behind him was starting to fluctuate violently.

The group quickly evacuated the canyon and stopped at a relatively safe hill dozens of miles away.

"I need to enter secluded cultivation for a while to refine the Creation Law fragment and perform preliminary processing on the myriad law source gold," Lin Fan said to the group. "During this time, Alliance affairs will be temporarily managed by Mo Yuan and Fairy Su. You all can also take this Opportunity to study the Compendium of Void Artifact Refining and increase your strength."

Having obtained such an Opportunity, he had to convert it into actual combat power as soon as possible.

Mo Yuan and Su Zhiqing looked at each other and nodded. "Agreed."

The others had no objections either, and they all began looking for places to start studying the profound Artifact Refining manual.

Lin Fan found a secluded spot, laid down layers of Chaos Restrictions, and began his secluded cultivation.

He first immersed his mind into the Creation Law Origin Fragment. In an instant, he felt as if he were in an ocean where all things were sprouting and full of vitality! The growth of plants, the nurturing of life, the evolution of stars—all kinds of Profound Truths regarding "creation" and "life" crashed against his Divine Soul like a tide.

His Chaos Domain unfolded involuntarily. Within the grey currents of Qi, those wisps of Annihilation's black light seemed to be stimulated and became restless. But Lin Fan kept his mind steady, using the inclusive nature of Chaos as the core to guide the fragment's power of the Creation Law, slowly merging it into the domain.

This was an extremely slow and delicate process. Creation and Annihilation, like the poles of Yin and Yang, began a difficult process of Fusion and balancing under the mediation of Chaos.

Time passed bit by bit. Within Lin Fan's Chaos Domain, subtle changes began to occur. The earth, which was originally just a phantom, seemed to gain a trace of heavy texture; within the flowing Chaos Qi, a spark of emerald light full of vitality would occasionally flash; even beside the miniature star phantoms, tiny points of light representing seeds of life began to faintly appear.

His aura rose steadily, and his understanding of the Chaos Dao became increasingly profound. His Late-stage World Lord was completely stabilized, and he moved steadily toward the Peak.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes, and a scene of the birth and death of all things seemed to flash through them. He had successfully performed the preliminary refining of the Creation Law fragment. Although he was still far from truly controlling Creation, his Chaos Domain now possessed preliminary "vitality" characteristics, becoming more complete and powerful!

He could feel that even his lifespan had increased significantly during this refining process, and his Physical Body and Divine Soul seemed to have undergone a baptism akin to a rebirth.

"Next, it's time to consider a lifebound divine weapon." Lin Fan's gaze fell upon the myriad law source gold shimmering with rainbow light within the System space. With the Compendium of Void Artifact Refining, the myriad law source gold, Chaos Qi, Power of the Stars, Power of Annihilation, and even the trace of Creation vitality he had just grasped, he now possessed all the conditions to refine an unprecedented lifebound divine weapon exclusive to his Chaos Dao!

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with expectation. When he emerged from seclusion, it would be time to refine his lifebound divine weapon and see his strength take another leap! And the overall strength of the Alliance would also welcome a qualitative improvement under the nourishment of the Compendium of Void Artifact Refining. The capital to oppose the Annihilation was accumulating bit by bit.
