Chapter 2557: Primordial Realm Laws
As soon as the faint, golden flames appeared in Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness, they turned into a roaring sea of fire. It formed a blanketing, dazzling golden fire that flooded Jian Chen’s entire soul.
Jian Chen did not resist at all. At that moment, he understood that his fate was completely up to the expert who controlled the Laws of Fire.
They would only need a single thought to annihilate his soul.
This was because the flames were just too powerful. They contained the power of laws, the presence of ways. At their level, they could basically incinerate anything.
“Grand Prime!” This thought appeared in Jian Chen’s head. Only Grand Primes could possess such terrifying comprehensions of the Laws of Fire.
However, even though Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness was filled with terrifying, golden flames, they did not cause him any harm at all. As a matter of fact, he did not even feel any heat.
If it were not for the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor gradually growing faint under the golden flames, he might have misunderstood and thought the flames were only an illusion.
Very clearly, the Scarlet Emperor’s grasp over fire had reached an unbelievable level. It was beyond perfection.
Jian Chen immediately felt like it had become much easier for him to refine the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor now that the golden flames had appeared. He could barely absorb it now.
The beast soul contained fragments of the Laws of s.p.a.ce. The fragments came naturally with Spatial Insects and were firmly rooted within their souls. It was impossible for any cultivator or s.p.a.ce beast to absorb them.
However, Jian Chen was an exception. His soul had fused with a strand of true Chaotic Force, breaking the logic of the world. It had already undergone an unbelievable transformation. Chaos was a supreme power that could contain anything and everything, so what was impossible for others was not necessarily impossible for Jian Chen.
After being refined by the flames, Jian Chen absorbed the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor bit by bit.
Immediately, strands of profound, complicated comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce appeared in Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness. Jian Chen immediately felt like his own comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce had been increased drastically.
This filled Jian Chen with uncontainable joy. In reality, refining the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor and obtaining its comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce had only been a concept the entire time. After all, no one had managed to benefit from a shortcut like this throughout the history of the Saints’ World.
As a result, he did not hold too much hope in refining the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor. He had been ready for failure.
Now that he discovered that he could directly absorb the Spatial Insect Emperor’s comprehension, he naturally ravished with joy.
This was a fortuitous encounter that was almost impossible for him to come across in his life.
He discovered that absorbing the Laws of s.p.a.ce from the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor was not like the situation with the seven golden cores of laws he previously obtained, which required further comprehension.
The soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor directly increased his comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce.
As he absorbed the soul, it was equivalent to directly absorbing the comprehension of Laws of s.p.a.ce.
Jian Chen knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately suppressed his joy and began to focus on absorbing the soul.
As the soul was slowly absorbed by Jian Chen, he could clearly sense his comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce rapidly increase. It had gone from early G.o.dking to mid G.o.dking, and then to late G.o.dking…
Completely submerged in the joy of absorbing the soul, Jian Chen forgot about time and forgot about himself. The only thought he had was to increase his strength as much as possible.
His comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce seemed to increase without stopping. It inched from late G.o.dking towards the Primordial realm like it was unstoppable.
…
After who knows how long, the golden flames in Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness vanished. The Scarlet Emperor had already let Jian Chen out from the Heaven-scorching Furnace. He clasped his hands and said, “Abbess, the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor has been completely refined.”
The Rain Abbess suddenly arrived next to Jian Chen. She stared right at Jian Chen’s forehead with her cold eyes as a strange light appeared in them.
“You really haven’t disappointed me,” the Rain Abbess murmured. At that moment, her gaze towards Jian Chen changed slightly. It was as if she was looking at a monster.
“This child can actually directly absorb the Laws of s.p.a.ce from the Spatial Insect Emperor. I’ve never seen or heard of anything like it. However, it seems like his soul is rather special,” the Scarlet Emperor said as he stared at Jian Chen in a strange light as well.
“It’s exactly because his soul is different that he can achieve this,” the Rain Abbess said coldly, but her gaze remained fixed on Jian Chen’s forehead.
With that, the Rain Abbess waved her hand gently.
The Scarlet Emperor naturally understood what the Rain Abbess was trying to convey. She was telling him that he had completed his purpose here and could leave now.
The Scarlet Emperor did not show any displeasure towards the way the Rain Abbess treated him. He stowed his Heaven-scorching Furnace away and clasped his fist at the Rain Abbess before leaving where she cultivated.
Time pa.s.sed silently. Unknowingly, it had already been half a month.
During this half a month of absorption, Jian Chen’s comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce had formally reached the Primordial realm.
After reaching the Primordial realm, he advanced one more step, reaching the Second Heavenly Layer.
After reaching the Second Heavenly Layer, Jian Chen finally stopped, as he discovered that he was unable to absorb the comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce anymore.
It was as if his soul had become full, unable to hold anymore fragments of the Laws of s.p.a.ce. If he wanted to absorb more, he needed to strengthen his soul.
“A shortcut is still a shortcut in the end. It’s not as reliable as comprehending it personally,” thought Jian Chen. He knew his soul was definitely not only as strong as a Second Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime’s. It had reached the Third Heavenly Layer at the very least.
However, his comprehension of the Laws of s.p.a.ce just happened to stop at the Second Heavenly Layer.
Regardless, he was satisfied, as he had elevated the comprehension of another law, aside from the Way of the Sword, to the Primordial realm.
If he used the two laws together, his battle prowess would increase significantly.
Of course, the most important aspect was that the Laws of s.p.a.ce could be used in ways beyond fighting.
“It’s a pity that I can’t absorb the energy in the Spatial Insect Emperor’s soul, or my soul will definitely reach a whole new level.” Jian Chen felt a sense of pity.
Jian Chen’s attention returned to his body. He discovered that he was still lying in the wooden bucket, but the green liquid in there had become cloudy. The medicinal effects had been completely absorbed by him.
Jian Chen leapt out from the wooden tub and looked at the beautiful, white figure nearby. He immediately bowed and said, “Thank you for your bestowal, abbess!”
