First Layer of Fusion Laws

"Are geniuses who comprehend Origin Laws all this terrifying? I couldn't even withstand a single sword strike. I didn't even know how I had just died. Isn't the gap far too great?"

After everyone left the Decisive Battle Space and returned to the Slaughter Arena lobby, they sat in a circle. Recalling how Yue Ming had instantly killed them with a single sword strike, Thor could not help but sigh.

"Brother Ming, you didn't use your full strength just now, did you? Could you tell us roughly how much strength you used? At least then we'll have some idea of just how great the gap is between us and geniuses who comprehend Origin Laws..."

After learning from Bebeth that Yue Ming had not used his full strength at all—perhaps not even one-tenth of it—Luo Feng felt somewhat shaken, but he was also immensely curious about how powerful Yue Ming truly was.

"I indeed didn't use my full strength just now. As for exactly how much strength I used, there's no need for you to get to the bottom of it. You only need to know that the strength I displayed was roughly comparable to that of a genius who has crossed the threshold of Origin Laws. If you want to achieve good results in the Peak Genius Battle, or even break into the top thousand of the finals, then while you needn't defeat the me from just now, you must at least possess the strength to rival him."

In the Peak Genius Battle, geniuses who possessed domains were practically everywhere. Yet even geniuses with Ninth-Level Domains found it difficult to reach the top thousand of the finals.

To make it into the top thousand of the finals, one had to at least cross the threshold of Origin Laws. If one was unlucky, even a genius who had crossed that threshold risked being eliminated.

"The strength you displayed just now was only comparable to that of a genius who had crossed the threshold of Origin Laws? I thought that receiving a six-star evaluation in the Decisive Battle Space made me something of a genius even in the universe. Now it seems that I was merely looking at the sky from the bottom of a well..."

Hong had received a six-star evaluation in the Decisive Battle Space. He had originally thought that he counted as a genius among those at the Stellar Level, but now he realized that the gap between himself and true geniuses was unimaginably vast.

"There are basically no truly noteworthy experts in the Decisive Battle Space right now, because the real geniuses are all in seclusion, cultivating in preparation for the upcoming Peak Genius Battle. So I suggest that you don't waste your time in the Decisive Battle Space. Hurry up and cultivate in seclusion instead! Try to comprehend Origin Laws before the Peak Genius Battle..."

Those experts rated nine stars in the Decisive Battle Space appeared extremely powerful. Most possessed domains, and there was no shortage among them of experts with Eighth-Level or even Ninth-Level Domains. Within their own rank, they could be called invincible.

But before true geniuses—before geniuses who had comprehended Origin Laws—the number of domain levels one possessed was useless. It was only because those true geniuses were currently cultivating in seclusion and preparing for the Peak Genius Battle.

Only when the Peak Genius Battle drew near and those true geniuses emerged from seclusion would the Decisive Battle Space become somewhat interesting. Unlike now, when it was completely a case of 'when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.'

That was precisely why Yue Ming advised Luo Feng and the others not to waste time in the Decisive Battle Space. If they encountered any doubts in their cultivation, they could simply spend money to enter the Slaughter Space. After all, none of them lacked such a small amount of money now.

"We really should devote more of our energy to comprehending Origin Laws..."

"Once I log off, I'll begin cultivating in seclusion. I won't emerge until I've comprehended Origin Laws!"

"Since everyone is preparing to enter seclusion, I can't fall behind either!"

After chatting for roughly half an hour, everyone logged off one after another. Their enthusiasm was running high, and none of them had much interest in chatting anymore. They all wanted to return and cultivate in seclusion, striving to comprehend Origin Laws before the Peak Genius Battle and then make a name for themselves in it.

After leaving the Virtual Universe, Yue Ming also began cultivating in seclusion. This time, he intended to comprehend a Space Element divine spark and raise his comprehension of the Space Origin Laws to 15% in one push, then cultivate the first layer of the Water-Void Fusion Law.

"My comprehension of the Space Origin Laws has only reached 10%, and this divine spark is already no longer effective? Looks like I need to replace it again..."

"Sell divine spark."

"Congratulations, you have obtained 32 billion Points."

When Yue Ming had purchased the Space Element divine spark, he had spent a full 40 billion Points. Yet selling it back to the Chat Group Mall only earned him 32 billion Points, meaning he had lost a full 8 billion Points.

After selling the Space Element divine spark, Yue Ming used the search function in the Chat Group Mall to look for a new one.

There were many Space Element divine sparks in the Chat Group Mall, originating from different worlds. The truly frustrating part was that before buying one, there was no way to know how similar the Space Laws contained within it were to the Space Laws of the Swallowed Star world.

In other words, buying divine sparks was like opening blind boxes. If he was lucky, the Space Laws contained in the divine spark would have a high degree of similarity with the Space Laws of the Swallowed Star world. If he was unlucky, the divine spark he bought might be completely useless.

"My comprehension of the Space Origin Laws has finally risen to 15%."

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. There were roughly two and a half years left until the Peak Genius Battle began. After replacing his Space Element divine spark eight times, his comprehension of the Space Origin Laws had finally risen to 15%.

"The Golden Finger, the Law Fusion Device, is finally no longer just for show. It finally has a use."

Over the past two years, aside from comprehending the Space Origin Laws, Yue Ming had also raised his cultivation to Stellar Level Ninth Rank.

If he wished, he could even break through to the Universe Level at any time. But in order to participate in the Peak Genius Battle, he could only suppress his cultivation.

"Fuse the Water-Space Origin Laws!"

"Ding! Fusion successful."

Yue Ming activated the Law Fusion Device. This was the first time he had used his Golden Finger. As the Water and Space Laws continuously fused, countless insights into fusion laws flooded into his mind...

Level: Stellar Level Ninth Rank (Third Order)

Realm: Water Origin Laws 15%, Space Origin Laws 15%, Water-Void Fusion Law 15% (First Layer)

Genes: 100 times

Force Amplification: 30 times

Secret Techniques: Water Sky One Line, Sevenfold Space, upper volume of Primordial Saint Body

Yue Ming opened the Attribute Panel and discovered that the Chat Group's evaluation of his level had changed from Second Order to Third Order.

It should have been because he had cultivated the first layer of the Water-Void Fusion Law, causing his strength to barely meet the Third Order standard. Though he might be relatively weak among Third Order existences, he was still Third Order nonetheless.

Furthermore, the Chat Group's rankings were not evaluated according to one's realm, but according to one's combat strength—or rather, one's destructive power. Having cultivated the first layer of the Water-Void Fusion Law, Yue Ming already possessed Third Order combat power.

In other words, ordinary Universe Level warriors were no longer Yue Ming's match. It would not be an exaggeration to say that killing Universe Level warriors was as easy as killing chickens. His combat power had definitely reached the Domain Lord level.

As for what stage his combat power stood at among Domain Lords, Yue Ming had no idea. After all, he had never fought a Domain Lord level warrior.
