“Dulu, how did you manage to do it?” John asked, looking at Dulu in confusion.
Dulu scratched his head, his expression naive as he responded, “I don’t know… it just felt very smooth, like it happened naturally. I perfectly fused with World-in-Hand without any problems.”
“Is this what they mean by ‘fools have their own luck’?” Gaka glanced at him, feeling a bit off-balance.
He could accept that he couldn’t compare to John.
But now, even this big fool had surpassed him. It was a serious blow to his ego.
The others nodded in agreement.
Dulu didn’t seem to care, even looking a bit smug, which only made the others more annoyed.
Merciless spoke up, “I feel like I’ll be able to perfectly fuse with World-in-Hand soon, too.”
“I feel the same,” Nine Phoenix and the others nodded in agreement.
John interrupted them, saying, “Time is of the essence. You can focus on your breakthroughs later. It’s time to refine Kaos’ Sea of Laws.”
Now that he had formed the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws and his World-in-Hand had been significantly enhanced, he was confident he could refine the Sea of Laws.
He looked at Thoublade, waiting for him to speak.
Thoublade, looking confused, asked, “Why are you looking at me? It’s you who is refining the Sea of Laws, not me.”
John replied, “Senior, where is the Sea of Laws?”
“This?” Thoublade was stunned. He knew the Sea of Laws was in the Godslayer Monument Forest, but he didn’t know the exact location.
John felt speechless. “Senior, you don’t know?”
Thoublade, somewhat embarrassed, answered, “It’s definitely in the Godslayer Monument Forest.”
John fought the urge to curse. He was feeling so confident, yet he couldn’t even find the Sea of Laws.
He furrowed his brow and said, “When I was slaughtering the giant beasts, I practically explored the entire Godslayer Monument Forest, but I didn’t find anything unusual.”
The others fell silent, all looking just as confused.
“Dad, it’s below us,” Leisian suddenly spoke up.
The others were drawn to the little girl’s words.
“Below us?” John remembered what Leisian had said earlier, that there had been the wailing of vengeful souls beneath their feet.
At the time, he hadn’t paid much attention, but now it seemed that beneath the Godslayer Monument Forest, there was an entire hidden world—the Sea of Laws must be there.
With a thought, he descended into the Godslayer Monument Forest.
The others followed closely behind.
Since they had gained partial authority over John’s World-in-Hand, they could now come and go freely.
Whoosh…
The endless black mist howled, and the Corrosive Path Black Mist descended.
Luckily, Leisian was with them. Her body glowed with fire, easily dispersing the surrounding black mist.
Roar, roar…
The sounds of furious roars filled the air as Emperor-level beasts appeared, drawn to their presence.
“Let’s take care of these guys first,” John said decisively. With his current strength, dealing with these giant beasts was no problem.
Thoublade and the others reformed their World-in-Hand and, having perfectly fused with it, were back to their full strength, easily slaughtering the beasts.
Soon, the surrounding giant beasts were slaughtered, and everyone turned their attention to Leisian.
John asked, “Leisian, are you sure there are Vengeful Souls below?”
“Mm,” she nodded firmly. “And there are many of them.”
Hearing her words, Thoublade was now certain: the Sea of Laws was underground.
The Sea of Laws devours the power of laws from countless Overseers and gathers numerous Vengeful Souls.
“But how do we get in?” Highshield asked, looking at the hard ground and finding no entrance.
“Just break it. Step back a little,” John advised. Seven Golden Wheels of Laws appeared, slowly spinning, as powerful waves of laws surged.
The group quickly retreated to the edge of the black mist.
Whoosh…
John flew into the air. Several Golden Wheels of Laws howled, striking the ground beneath with force.
Boom!
The sound of rumbling echoed as the entire space violently trembled.
Crack, crack…
The sound of breaking stones filled the air as the surrounding stone tablets cracked open, and a large amount of Corrosive Path Black Mist surged out, sweeping toward them.
Leisian furrowed her brow, struggling to hold it back, and quickly warned, “Dad, these black mists are stopping you. I can’t hold them off much longer.”
Whoosh!
The winds howled as the black mist rushed toward them, breaking through the barriers she had set, and the group was enveloped by it.
The black mist entered their bodies, devouring their power of laws and life force.
John’s expression changed as he quickly warned, “Hurry, get into World-in-Hand!”
Everyone reacted immediately and dove into World-in-Hand.
John’s World-in-Hand was guarded by the Tree of Life, so the Corrosive Path Black Mist couldn’t invade.
He and Leisian didn’t leave, though. The black mist compressed around them with full force, and the little girl gave everything she had, managing to keep just enough space for one person to stand without being consumed by the black mist.
That was her limit.
John looked at Leisian, whose face showed pain, and said, “Leisian, you should go into World-in-Hand too. The black mist won’t affect me.”
“Okay,” she nodded obediently, and with a thought, she entered World-in-Hand.
Whoosh!
Without the suppression, the terrifying black mist instantly engulfed John’s form.
He had a powerful resistance to the Corrosive Path Black Mist and wasn’t afraid of it eroding him, but his strength and the power of laws within him were still slowly being devoured by the black mist.
“Heaven and Earth Transformation!” He shouted angrily, transforming into a giant towering over the landscape. His power surged dramatically, and he manipulated several Golden Wheels of Laws again, smashing them into the ground beneath him.
Boom!
With a loud crash, a small crack appeared in the ground, and even more intense black mist surged up. It was pitch-black, so thick that one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face, wildly devouring the power within his body.
He gritted his teeth and immediately took out The Immortals’ legacy sword, using the divine skill Creation and Destruction.
The Sea of Laws was also a spatial area, so Creation and Destruction should be able to destroy it.
A massive sword beam howled through the air, shattering and collapsing the space in its wake, and it slammed violently into the ground.
Boom!
The boundless black mist trembled, and the wind howled, like the wails of a thousand ghosts. A huge crack appeared in the ground, dark and deep.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, countless black figures surged forth—those were the Vengeful Souls, their claws bared and reaching toward him.
“Get away!” He sneered and shouted, unleashing a soul attack skill—Dragon Soul Storm. The sound of a dragon’s roar echoed through the air.
These Vengeful Souls, being in a soul state, feared soul attacks.
Moreover, with his Soul Technique reaching a terrifying two hundred million, these Vengeful Souls had no way to resist. The massive dragon’s roar resonated throughout the space, and in an instant, countless Vengeful Souls were wiped out, dissipating like smoke.
The surroundings fell into complete silence, and the endless black mist cleared away. Only a massive crack remained on the ground, stretching for hundreds of miles, dark and deep, resembling a giant beast that would devour anything in its path.
Powerful waves of the laws flowed out from the crack.
At that moment, a spatial power fluctuation occurred, and Thoublade and the others appeared.
He looked at the enormous space crack and the surging power of laws and said, “This must be the Sea of Laws beneath us.”
“Could it be dangerous?” Chaos walked to the edge of the crack, spreading out his spiritual power, but he couldn’t penetrate deep enough to investigate.
The massive crack felt even more eerie and terrifying than the Godslayer Monument Forest.
“We’ll find out once we go in,” John said, his body surrounded by golden light. He used his golden light shield and summoned the massive White Jade City to protect himself, then jumped into the crack.
The others followed closely behind.
Whoosh!
The cold, eerie wind howled, and the power of laws surged. The world around them spun violently as they were thrust into an unknown space.
“What kind of place is this?” Nine Phoenix exclaimed as she looked around in horror, her scalp tingling.
The others also looked around in terror, a chill running down their spines.
In the vast space, countless corpses were piled up, forming mountains of bodies and seas of blood. Broken, half-rotten bodies floated in the blood sea.
Within the blood sea, streams of energy gathered, floating upward like specks of star dust, eventually converging into a flowing river.
Sea of Laws!
John sensed the long river, sparkling like star dust, radiating vast and pure power of laws.
Such powerful laws did not excite him; on the contrary, they filled him with disgust.
These laws were formed from the slaughter and devouring of countless Overseers’ corpses.
“F-father…” A cry of shock echoed as Highshield trembled and fell to his knees in front of a broken, decaying corpse.
The body was barely recognizable, rotting beyond repair, with a rusted chain lying beside it.
But he recognized it immediately. This was his father, the Heavenly Domain Emperor.
The chain beside the body was his father’s weapon, the Heavenly Treasure, the Heavenly Domain Chain.
“Bastards! Kaos, Abyss, I will make you pay for this with blood!” His eyes turned crimson as he looked at the starry dust shimmering above, roaring in fury.
Boom, boom…
Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out, and the starry dust river above them began to twist and tear apart, creating a space crack.
On the other side of the crack was the endless Void. Terrifying energy rippled through, and Kaos appeared, battered and bloodied, with countless vines from the Void creeping toward him.
“Get away!” He shouted angrily, the Heavenly Fire surging around him, forcing the incoming vines back. His cold eyes fixed on John and the others.
“Human, you actually managed to enter my Sea of Laws. You will die!” He roared, a terrifying aura spreading as a massive hand reached through the space crack, descending toward them.
“Not good, get back!” John’s expression shifted slightly as he sensed the deadly threat. The White Jade City howled through the air, smashing toward the enormous hand.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the White Jade City shattered, and overwhelming pressure flooded the area, causing the space to tremble. The enormous hand rapidly descended toward them.
“Seed of Fire!” A shout rang out as two figures appeared, shattering the massive hand and rushing toward Leisian.
“You dare!” Kaos growled in fear. These two were Creator Gods, and if they breached his Sea of Laws, it would be destroyed.
He gritted his teeth, blocking the two of them with sheer force and quickly closing the space crack.
But in the moment the crack closed, a Nine-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast was kicked into the void.
“Kill these people,” his cold voice echoed, and the space passage was completely sealed.
Boom!
A colossal and terrifying beast emerged into the blood sea, instantly stirring up massive waves of blood. An immense pressure spread out, and its huge, crimson eyes glared coldly at John and the others.
“A Nine-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast!” Thoublade exclaimed, taking a step back in terror.
