Comprehending the Law of Time

If there had been any living beings on the Sun Star, they would have discovered that time on the Sun Star had vanished.

Even the slightest change in the Sun Star would have a considerable impact on the Primordial World. Yet now that time on the Sun Star had disappeared, it had no effect on the Primordial World at all. This was truly strange.

Whether they were living beings nurtured upon the vast sea of Archaic Stars, Immortal Birds wandering the Heavenly Realm, or strange beasts roaming the earth, none noticed that time had vanished from the Sun Star.

Even Quasi-Sage Great Experts such as Hongjun, Rahu, Ancestor Dragon, and Ancestor Yin Yang failed to notice.

Within the Core Space of the Sun Star, a faint Power of Law emerged.

Different laws possessed different Powers of Law.

Now, this faint Power of Law represented time.

It was precisely the Power of Time Law.

That was right. Lu Yang had comprehended the Law of Time.

Judging by the Power of Law, his comprehension of the Law of Time was clearly still shallow.

But time was, after all, one of the Ten Great Laws.

Even an initial comprehension of the Law of Time was extraordinary.

It was precisely because he had comprehended the Law of Time that his own time vanished without affecting the outside world.

If someone were to peer into the Primordial Time River now, they would be astonished to find that the Sun Star had disappeared.

Not long after, Lu Yang withdrew his Power of Law as well.

The Circulating Light Wheel Fragment transformed into a streak of flowing light and entered Lu Yang's Primordial Spirit.

He had obtained the Circulating Light Wheel Fragment only a few years ago, yet he had successfully comprehended the Law of Time. Lu Yang was naturally in high spirits.

In the current Primordial World, fewer than five beings had likely comprehended the Law of Time.

If not for the Circulating Light Wheel Fragment, even several Cosmic Epochs might not have been enough for Lu Yang to comprehend the Law of Time.

At this moment, Lu Yang took stock of the laws he had already comprehended.

First was the Law of Fire, the law he had comprehended most deeply. Next came the Law of Light, followed by the Law of Wind, the Law of Gold, the Law of Wood, the Law of Water...

As his comprehension of the Law of Fire deepened, he could draw inferences from it. Laws such as Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, as well as the Five Elements, would not be too difficult.

But apart from the Law of Fire and the Law of Light, he had only initially comprehended the other laws.

Although laws had their relative strengths and weaknesses, the one best suited to oneself was the best.

Therefore, after comprehending multiple laws, one needed to choose a primary law.

His foundation was the Sun Star, so the Law of Fire suited Lu Yang better than even the Law of Time.

In truth, the Sun Star contained many laws, but the most powerful among them was undoubtedly the Law of Fire.

In a mountain wilderness somewhere in the Primordial Era, birds sang amid fragrant flowers, green grass scented the air, and a clear stream burbled along.

Lu Ya lived on the wind and dew, carefree and unrestrained.

He casually bit into a spirit fruit when water splashed from the stream nearby and a water snake shot out.

The water snake had originally been less than a meter long, but it grew with the wind, reaching over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Its azure-green scales reflected a metallic gleam beneath the sunlight.

When the water snake opened its blood-red maw, its fangs were terrifying as it spewed black poisonous mist.

The poisonous mist spread out, covering a vast area and forming a Poison Domain.

Amid sizzling sounds, the flowers, grass, fish, and insects within the Poison Domain were corroded into black water.

In terms of magical power, this water snake was close to the Heavenly Immortal level.

Lu Ya merely glanced at it.

The moment it met Lu Ya's gaze, the water snake's body became unable to move, and its consciousness froze as well.

Time upon the water snake had stopped.

Having initially comprehended the Law of Time, a mere thought allowed him to stop time across a range of countless billions of miles.

Now, the water snake was trapped within time's restraint.

If the water snake's magical power had been strong enough, it could have broken free of time's restraint.

But this water snake was far too weak.

At close range to Lu Ya, a Golden Immortal level being could still break free of time's restraint.

But if it were countless billions of miles away from Lu Ya, even a Mystic Immortal level being could break free of time's restraint.

Those unable to break free would be affected by time.

The passage of years was like a blade.

This water snake had yet to attain immortality. If Lu Ya accelerated time, it would rapidly age and eventually die of old age.

And if he used Time Regression, the water snake would grow younger and younger, its cultivation steadily declining until it became a snake egg, perhaps even regressing to before it was an egg.

When others cultivated avatars, their avatars' traits found it difficult to perfectly align with their true bodies.

But the Golden Crow contained the Sun Star's origin.

Since they came from the same source, their compatibility was naturally extremely high.

A Golden Crow powerful enough could transform into a sun. That alone proved the point.

Thus, once the Sun Star comprehended a law, the Golden Crow avatar could use it without restriction.

Although Lu Ya had a general understanding of the Law of Time he had initially comprehended, it was still necessary to test its effects.

Looking at the water snake imprisoned by time, Lu Ya thought, Time Regression!

At once, the time restraining the water snake ceased to be still and began to flow backward.

This was the reversal of years, the retracing of time.

The might of the Law of Time had already begun to show itself.

Yet Lu Ya's actual application of the Law of Time was still crude, far from refined.

If he wanted to strengthen his use of the Law of Time, he could only slowly explore it on his own.

However, advancing his Dao attainment could improve his use of laws.

As for the level of cultivation, it could affect a law's strength.

Whether a law was powerful naturally depended on the Power of Law, which was inherent to the law itself. But with powerful magical power, its might would naturally become greater.

It was like an Innate Spiritual Treasure. The treasure's inherent power was one aspect, but its user's magical power was also extremely important.

Although the Power of Time Law was still faint, Lu Ya's magical power was not weak.

Across the Primordial World, there were not many below the Quasi-Saint level who could compare with Lu Ya in magical power.

If he borrowed the Sun Star's power, Lu Ya's magical power could surpass even Ancestor Dragon's for a short time.

The water snake struggled, its eyes filled with terror.

Unable to break free of the restraint, its magical power drained away under Time Regression, while its body grew younger.

If an aged and decrepit being were subjected to Time Regression, it could regain its youth and would surely be overjoyed.

Therefore, the Law of Time was also a Longevity Method.

Under the Heavenly Dao, Longevity Methods were neither abundant nor scarce.

Aside from the Law of Time, some other laws could also grant longevity.

In moments, all of the water snake's magical power vanished. Its body shrank, becoming a snake egg.

Yet Lu Ya still had plenty of strength to spare.

He had used less than a tenth of his magical power.

"Even a true Dragon, so long as its cultivation is below the Golden Immortal level and it isn't too far from me, can be 'harvested' into a Dragon Egg through the Law of Time."

After this small test, Lu Ya understood the limits of the Law of Time more clearly.

Honestly, it was not of much use to Lu Ya.

The main reason was that the Power of Time Law was still far too weak.

But to strengthen the Power of Law, he needed to deepen his comprehension of that law.

With a Grand Unity Primordial Spirit and a Grand Unity Dao Fruit, deepening his comprehension of the Law of Time was difficult.

Therefore, the Power of Time Law would find it difficult to achieve any major breakthrough in the short term.

Relying on his own strength alone, Lu Ya still needed to be nearby to use the Law of Time against a Mystic Immortal level opponent.

This was no longer merely a useless ability.

But on second thought, comprehending the Law of Time was not a bad thing.

Perhaps it would prove greatly useful someday.

With a flash of golden light, Lu Ya had already fled countless billions of miles away.

Some time after Lu Ya left, an old Daoist arrived on evasion light.

The old Daoist wore a yellow robe. He was Ancestor Huang Tian.

Ancestor Huang Tian possessed around six billion years of magical power and already had one foot through the gate of Quasi-Sainthood.

The Power of Time Law... could it be Shi Chen? Huang Tian wondered.

Huang Tian had once been one of the Chaos Demon Gods of the Primordial Chaos Era. He had been killed for obstructing Pangu's Creation, but his Primordial Spirit had luckily escaped and reincarnated in the Primordial World.

Yet Huang Tian had no intention of reforging a Chaos Demon God. He wished to become a saint in the Primordial World, then seek Pangu's Dao Fruit.

Pangu shattered Primordial Chaos, created heaven and earth, died, and transformed into all things. His Dao Fruit remained within the Primordial World.

If Huang Tian could obtain all of Pangu's Dao Fruit, proving the Great Dao would surely become a smooth road.

Thinking of this deep within his heart, Huang Tian could not help but grow excited.

There were quite a few Great Experts who harbored the same thoughts as Huang Tian.

Among the first batch of Innate Beings in the Primordial World, Huang Tian's foundation was also quite exceptional. As the saying went: the Nine Qi of the east, with Azure Heaven as their first sovereign; crimson mist and lush ramparts, dividing Heaven by degrees.

Although Huang Tian had comprehended multiple laws, the Law of Time was not among them.

After all, the Law of Time was not the law best suited to Huang Tian.

Upon sensing the Power of Time Law, Huang Tian's first thought was Shi Chen.

In the Primordial Chaos Era, Pangu had undisputedly been the strongest Chaos Demon God. But there was controversy over who ranked second, and Shi Chen was one of the contenders.
