Time spent cultivating always passed quickly, and Qin Hao had already spent ten years on the Third Layer of the Ancestral God Tomb.
During these ten years, Qin Hao spent half his time in the Jiang Lan Realm, and the other half was spent continuously comprehending Time Law and Space Law within the Ancestral God Tomb.
After all, the Jiang Lan Realm was a relatively independent world, and the clarity of Time Law and Space Law in the Ancestral God Tomb far exceeded that within the Jiang Lan Realm.
For Qin Hao, the Jiang Lan Realm was more of a place to accumulate understanding.
Over these ten years, Qin Hao's strength also made great progress, and his comprehension of the Third Layer's Nine Heavens Palace gradually entered its final stage.
He was only a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending Space Law's Instant Movement and Time Law's Time Acceleration.
However, it was this slight difference that trapped Qin Hao in the final stage.
If he comprehended it, then Qin Hao's understanding of law would reach the King-Level.
“It seems I need to change my cultivation plan,” Qin Hao thought as he looked at the Nine Heavens Palace in the center of the Ancestral God Tomb’s Third Layer.
Qin Hao's talent in Time Law and Space Law was unquestionable; he had long ago fully analyzed the 108 essences of Time Law and Space Law.
Furthermore, over the many years, Qin Hao had continuously conducted deeper research into the essences of Time Law and Space Law.
Coupled with the blessing of his Second Clone, it could be said that his comprehension of Time Law and Space Law had always been smooth sailing, but now he had entered the first major hurdle of law comprehension.
Qin Hao also knew that if he continued to comprehend in this manner, he would eventually, through the accumulation of time, wait for a flash of insight to fully grasp the first direction of the two superior laws.
However, how much time it would ultimately take was unknown.
After all, there were many Undying who had been trapped on this Third Layer for over tens of thousands of epochs.
After much deliberation, Qin Hao decided to enter the Fighting Arena to seek new opportunities for breakthroughs.
On one hand, he would accumulate combat experience in the Fighting Arena, stimulating his comprehension of Time Law and Space Law through extreme battles.
On the other hand, it was also to accumulate the number of times he comprehended the Nine Heavens Palace.
After all, the situation beyond the Fourth Layer was still unknown.
However, the opponents he would face would be at least King-Level existences.
Currently, his strength allowed him to cope with, and even defeat, Marquis-level Immortal, but he had no chance of resisting a Champion.
To face a Champion, he would at least need the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram to advance further, or his law comprehension to far surpass a Champion.
Evidently, Qin Hao did not possess either of these conditions now.
The Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram had only recently broken through, and to break through again would require at least ten thousand years of accumulation.
Even though Qin Hao had dedicated some effort to cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram over the years, he still lacked nearly five thousand years of accumulation.
In terms of law, the gap in law comprehension between trial-takers on each layer was not as great as imagined.
Especially in the upper six layers, the gap in each layer was shrinking, similar to the comprehension level between the 18th and 20th layers of the Heavenly Bridge.
However, even with the same layer, the gap remained incredibly vast.
The difference in strength among Champion could even exceed the entire stage from Undying to Champion.
After making his decision, Qin Hao did not hesitate; he directly connected to the Fighting Arena and appeared in its virtual world.
It was still an extremely simple room; pressing the combat button, Qin Hao's figure quickly disappeared and reappeared in a vast world.
Compared to the Fighting Arena of the First Layer and Second Layer, this one was hundreds of times larger, a world spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers, with a heavy pressure that made Qin Hao's body feel somewhat heavy.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect it to be an outsider, and a new face at that.
Today, this lord will show you how cruel this world truly is.” Across from Qin Hao, a giant snake several thousand kilometers long looked at Qin Hao, its vertical pupils filled with cruelty and mockery.
All the Undying on the Third Layer had been comprehending here for at least tens of thousands of years, with the longest reaching tens of thousands of epochs.
They were all very familiar with each other, and when fighting, while they claimed to fight to the death, it was often more out of exhaustion.
Their weaknesses, law comprehension, secret methods, and so on were all known to each other, making it impossible to take anyone by surprise.
Most of the time, the weaker party would simply retreat.
Now, seeing a new face, he was naturally very pleased.
In his opinion, a newcomer's strength would at most be that of someone who had just passed the Second Layer, with limited law comprehension.
Furthermore, he was an outsider, a Human Race, and Human Race generally did not have high genetic levels.
What's more, the Human Race boy in front of him was only about three meters tall; with such a weak divine body, his divine power would also be very limited.
He seemed to have already seen the scales of victory tilting towards himself, his long tongue flicking out, as if ready to enjoy the delicious meal before him at any moment.
Qin Hao observed his opponent, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
After all, it was his first time facing an Undying, and a Marquis-level Immortal at that, a Marquis-level Immortal of the Monster Race.
His powerful physique, divine power, and not-weak law comprehension all warranted Qin Hao's full devotion to the battle.
While Qin Hao was observing his opponent, the long snake Undying had already launched an attack, directly striking at Qin Hao.
Its long tail swept across, and the surrounding space constantly trembled; the snake tail's speed was extreme, appearing before Qin Hao as if by instant movement.
As the massive snake tail attacked, Qin Hao showed no panic; his body rapidly expanded, and in an instant, a giant over a thousand kilometers tall appeared in his place, grasping the giant tail in his hand, pulling hard, and directly flinging the long snake Undying's body away.
After flinging it away, a long sword appeared in Qin Hao's hand.
Wielding the long sword, Qin Hao's figure quickly appeared at the long snake Undying's landing spot.
The power of his three great worlds and thirty-three small worlds was fully mobilized, the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram circulated, and strange patterns appeared on Qin Hao's body.
With surging power filling his entire body, Qin Hao's attack directly struck the long snake Undying's body, severing the snake tail.
At the same time, World Power enveloped the snake tail, and the powerful force rapidly ground it down.
“How is this possible? Just one strike obliterated 5% of my divine body!” The long snake Undying felt his divine body being ground down, his heart filled with shock.
Even among the top powerhouses on the Third Layer, there were very few who could obliterate 5% of his divine body in an instant.
After all, with similar cultivation levels, it was impossible to quickly kill the opponent.
In previous battles, most Undying's combat times were very long, and it was precisely because of this that, after multiple encounters, their strengths were mutually understood, and when outmatched, they more often chose not to resist to reduce the combat time.
Now, a newcomer actually possessed such formidable power.
“Who exactly are you?!” the long snake Undying roared, continuing to attack Qin Hao.
However, the outcome of the battle did not change.
Although the strength of the native Monster Race Undying was decent, his secret methods, talent, and comprehension of law were far inferior to Qin Hao's.
In battle, he was more like a bull in a china shop; his application of law seemed very crude to Qin Hao.
However, an Undying was an Undying after all.
After an hour of battle, Qin Hao finally ground down the long snake Undying's divine body to the point where he fell into a deep sleep.
Once in a deep sleep, the long snake Undying became a lamb to the slaughter.
Qin Hao held nothing back, his strength erupting.
The One Thought Creates the World secret method was unleashed, and the powerful World Power and destructive force instantly obliterated the long snake Undying's divine body completely.
