To be honest, when Xiao Chen was comprehending the nine laws, he didn't think so far ahead. It was purely because he cultivated the Spirit Cultivation Technique and to increase his strength!
In reality, he didn't know the cultivation path after becoming a Ruler. Some things were only fully understood when he reached the supreme realm!
This was like a rule. Without reaching the corresponding level, one couldn't come into contact with the corresponding things and things.
He didn't expect that he would have a chance to make a leap after reaching the seventh layer of the King realm!
This was a leap of an entire layer. Moreover, it wasn't imprinting the laws, but penetrating them, making the laws of the five elements and one's own small world become one!
Just how stable was the basic laws of a world like this? Other Rulers would go crazy if they knew about it. When a Ruler intercepted the laws of the heavens and imprinted them on the small world, they had to face the rebellion and backlash of the laws, and even the pressure of the heavens!
However, Xiao Chen had already finished condensing the basic laws of the world of the five elements when he became a Ruler. Perhaps he had experienced too many dangers, but he had survived them all!
Moreover, such a leap in cultivation didn't even bring about the slightest instability. This was because this foundation had already begun before he became a Ruler. It was incomparably solid!
The nine laws penetrated the soul, ushered in the great calamity of the world, and endured countless dangers. However, everything in the world was predetermined.
The dangers he endured were beginning to pay off at this moment!
In reality, Xiao Chen knew very well that all of this was because of the divine techniques he cultivated. He cultivated the mind, not the martial arts.
This was just the beginning. In the future, his cultivation method and the cultivation method of the Desolate Royal Path would be as different as heaven and earth!
The divine path was vast, encompassing the universe, and the heavens were one. The martial path was born from the divine path!
In the grand scheme of things, it was nothing more than intercepting a branch of the divine path and passing it down. He was using the divine path to feed back the martial path, so naturally, it would erupt. Everything he had done before would be put to use!
The small world gathered the power of the five elements. It was a foundation for the seventh layer to cross eight layers. The eighth layer of the King realm was the yin and yang mixed together!
This belonged to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the King Realm. Moreover, with the gathering of the Seventh Heavenly Layer's five elements, it formed the foundation of the small world's operation. With the framework of the world's natural laws, a new transformation began.
More accurately, it was to divide the small world into night and day, Yin and Yang!
However, this was still a little far for Xiao Chen because he still had some laws in the seventh layer of heaven that had yet to penetrate through the small world.
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing. Now that his cultivation had increased, he naturally needed to stabilize it before he could break through the Laws again!
…
Just as Xiao Chen was stabilizing his cultivation, the purple-robed Sovereign King, who had appeared in the Gu Yuan Tribe, used the Void Transference Formation and finally appeared in the extreme north of the Eastern Wasteland's northern region.
In the area adjacent to the Eastern Barren Land and the Northern Sea, there was no Falling Dragon Mountain Range like in the Southern Li Land. Instead, there was a vast ocean.
The land belonged to the Eastern Barren, while the ocean belonged to the Northern Sea!
At the border between the Eastern Barren Land and the Northern Sea, there were a few very famous places. One of them was naturally the Fire Water Domain where the Flood Dragons lived. This was a large domain that spanned between the Northern Sea and the Eastern Barren Land.
Because the Flood Dragon branch in the Wasteland relied on the human race to reproduce and thrive, the human race had given the Flood Dragons great convenience in the vast land of the Fire Water Domain.
There was another domain called the Dragon King Bay. However, this Dragon King Bay had nothing to do with the Flood Dragon clan in the Fire Water Domain because it was a place of great danger!
The Dragon King Bay was a vast ocean that belonged to the Northern Sea. However, this vast ocean made more than ten human domains in the Eastern Barren Land miserable!
Since the beginning of this era, tsunamis would erupt from the Dragon King Bay almost every once in a while. The vast ocean was like a furious Dragon King, rushing towards the earth and drowning the mountains and rivers!
Moreover, it was not ordinary seawater that rushed in. A single eruption was enough to destroy several or even more human domains. Even the monarchs did not dare to face the surging waves.
This was why the Dragon King Bay was called the Dragon King. Every time a tidal wave erupted, it meant that the Dragon King in the water was angry!
It was not that there were no Kings of the human race who came to investigate, but they all returned without any results. Therefore, it was said that this Dragon King Bay was a product of the great calamity at the end of the last era.
The Dragon King Bay was calm and tranquil. The sun shone brightly and the waves sparkled like the scales of a dragon. The gentle waves rippled, creating a calm scene. No one could tell that this was a place of great danger that would drown the human domains in the event of an insurrection!
A hundred miles away in the vast ocean, there was a small island made up of scattered reefs. It was about ten thousand feet in size. Because of frequent floods, there was no other vegetation on this island besides some moss.
However, there was a young martialist sitting cross-legged in the middle of this small island. He was wearing a purple battle robe with dragon patterns. Although his eyes were closed, an imposing aura that seemed to be superior to all living beings emanated from his bones.
Xiu!
In the depths of the distant land, a purple light pierced through the void, heading towards the purple-robed figure.
Ta!
Ta!
Ta!
The light landed on the island and revealed a purple-robed figure. It was Zi Feng, who had appeared at King Gu Yuan's tribe.
Zi Feng smoothed his messy battle robe and looked at the purple-robed figure sitting in the center of the island with a look of respect in his eyes.
"My Lord, I'm back!"
He stood 30 feet away from the purple-robed figure respectfully and shouted in a deep voice.
However, the young man did not wake up. Zi Feng's expression did not change at all. He just stood there and waited!
Xiu!
Xiu!
After a long time, the purple-robed young man opened his eyes. Immediately, two rays of lightning pierced through the void and struck out two black holes.
"I'm back. How is it?" the young man said. Zi Feng even straightened his back.
As a follower of the person before him, only he knew how powerful and terrifying the young man before him was.
"My Lord, the Forbidden Saint has already advanced to the Seventh Heaven. When I came, he was undergoing the Seventh Heaven Thunder Tribulation."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes. Then, he said in a deep voice, "His speed is quite fast. The last time he killed my clone, he was barely at the late-stage of the Sixth Heaven!"
"Then what's the quality of his Small World?"
All of a sudden, the young man asked again.
"When I looked from afar, there were flames boiling. It was a Small World penetrated by the Laws of Fire and triggered the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation!"
"Interesting. He actually learned to be opportunistic."
The young man shook his head and chuckled. He stretched out his slender fingers and covered the sun in the sky.
"My Lord, why do you care so much about this person? No matter how talented that person is and how he is known as the Forbidden Saint, he is still far from being able to compare to my Lord!"
All of a sudden, Zi Feng asked with some hesitation.
"Do you think that his strength is far from mine?"
Hearing this, the young man chuckled and looked at Zi Feng. Instantly, Zi Feng shuddered.
However, the young man did not get angry at all. His originally dim eyes instantly became burning hot. In Zi Feng's eyes, it even surpassed the sun in the sky.
"In my eyes, he is even more of a threat than that person from the Taihao family!"
What!?
Zi Feng was instantly shocked. He did not believe that Xiao Chen actually had such great power to make his Saint so fearful!
Could it be because Xiao Chen had slain one of his Lord's avatars!?
"My Lord, I also admit that the Forbidden Saint is powerful, but his cultivation level is not at the same level as my Lord's. Even if he ascends to the Seventh Heaven, it's just a Small World formed by ordinary Laws of Fire. Could it be that he can overturn the heavens?"
Although the young man said so, Zi Feng still did not believe it and defended himself.
"What does one Law of Fire penetrating the Small World mean? Don't forget that he has nine Laws. In the entire heavens, no one can beat him in terms of the number of Laws!"
The young man shook his head lightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.
"But my Lord, even if he has nine Laws, it is still unknown whether he can completely penetrate the Small World with the Laws. Perhaps his Small World will not be able to withstand it and explode first!
"That's why you don't understand our world. He and I are the same kind of people. As long as there is a chance to increase our battle prowess, we will not let go of even the slightest bit. I am like this, and he is also like this!"
At this point, the young man paused and said with a resolute gaze, "That's why I'm certain that he will definitely penetrate the Small World with all nine Laws. Even if the Small World cannot withstand it, he would rather delay the speed of his ascension and stabilize the Small World before penetrating the Laws!
"But time waits for no man in the Battle of Saints. Even if he succeeds in all of them, my Lord might have already ascended to the Thearch Realm or even broken through to the Thearch Realm by then. What's the point then?
"You don't understand. What he cultivates is the path of divinity. His foundation is too solid. Only when he truly steps into the Seventh Celestial Layer will he soar. Who knows, he might catch up very quickly!"
"Divine Dao?" This made Zi Feng feel a little puzzled. He did not understand the young man's words.
However, seeing that the young man had no intention of explaining, he did not dare to ask again.
Suddenly, the young man shouted, "Alright, apart from the increase in strength, is there an illusion of the Saint?"
"He has not condensed the Saint's Fruit Throne, and the aura of the Saint's Fruit Throne on his body is still very scattered. It can be said that it has not taken shape at all."
Zi Feng became solemn when they talked about serious matters. He had been ordered to go to King Gu Yuan's camp to check whether Xiao Chen had condensed the Saint's Fruit Throne or not.
"My Lord, this Taboo Saint was born in a barren land. Without the support of a large clan, how could it be so easy for him to obtain merits? I'm afraid that by the time my Saint's Fruit Throne completely condenses, it would already be pretty good if he can condense an illusion."
Hearing this, the young man did not feel excited at all.
