After dismissing Bi Xiao, who was overflowing with gratitude and practically ready to offer herself to him, Lin Feng immediately immersed his consciousness into the system.

Qiong Xiao's [Heavenly Dipper Formation], Bi Xiao's [Great Cutting Law].

One specialized in construction and sealing, the other in destruction and cutting.

These two completely different, even somewhat mutually restraining powers of law now lay within his primordial spirit consciousness sea like two docile little dragons.

For anyone else, obtaining even one of them would have been an immense stroke of fortune, enough to serve as the foundation for attaining the Dao.

Yet as Lin Feng looked at these two powers, a notion that outsiders would consider utterly insane arose in his mind.

Could he... fuse them together?

Use the stability of formations to control the sharpness of cutting.

Use the sharpness of cutting to break through the limits of formations.

The moment this idea surfaced, it spread like a prairie fire and could no longer be suppressed.

"System, how many points are needed to deduce the fusion of [Great Cutting Law] and [Heavenly Dipper Formation]?"

Lin Feng muttered inwardly.

"Ding! Two laws with extremely high fusion potential detected. However, their law levels are exceedingly high, and the deduction process will consume vast resources. The initial deduction requires 10,000 points. Confirm?"

Ten thousand points!

Lin Feng's mouth twitched.

The five thousand points he had just wrung out of Bi Xiao had not even had time to settle before he had to throw in another five thousand himself.

This system was even more ruthless than a crooked merchant.

"Confirm."

Though he grumbled inwardly, Lin Feng did not hesitate in the slightest.

Points could be earned again, but if he missed an opportunity capable of causing a qualitative leap in his strength, he would truly have missed it.

Buzz—!

As Lin Feng's confirmation took effect, his entire consciousness seemed to be instantly pulled away, falling into an endless Chaos Void.

Within the System Space, ten thousand points ignited with a roar, transforming into the most fundamental energy to support a terrifyingly massive deduction!

Two masses of light appeared before Lin Feng.

One consisted of hundreds of millions of black threads, countless times finer than hair. Every tremble and every crossing emitted a terrifying sharpness capable of severing all things and cutting through everything.

It was the manifestation of the origin of the [Great Cutting Law]!

The other was composed of countless rice-grain-sized golden runes. These runes linked together, forming one intricate Formation Diagram after another and radiating an aura of stability, heaviness, and absolute sealing.

It was the manifestation of the origin of the [Heavenly Dipper Formation]!

The deduction began!

With a thought, Lin Feng attempted to press a golden rune onto a black thread.

He wanted to use the power of formations to "wrap" the cutting law.

However, the instant the two came into contact.

Riiip!

That golden rune, capable of constructing a sturdy grand formation, was sliced through the middle by the black thread like paper. It split in two, its spiritual glow dimming as it completely lost its effect.

The first attempt had failed!

Lin Feng frowned slightly and changed his approach.

If wrapping would not work, then he would build a cage and imprison it within!

He mobilized thousands upon thousands of golden runes. Using the [Heavenly Dipper Formation] as its foundation, he instantly constructed a miniature trapping formation in the void and sent it enveloping the mass of black threads.

Buzz!

The trapping formation took shape and was just about to lock down the cutting law entirely.

But at that moment, the mass of black threads suddenly erupted!

Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!

Hundreds of millions of black rays burst forth at once, like a hedgehog made of countless blades, cutting madly outward from within!

In only an instant!

That sturdy cage constructed from the [Heavenly Dipper Formation], capable of trapping a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, was shredded from the inside out into the finest dust beneath that violent cutting power!

The second attempt had failed once again!

Lin Feng's expression turned grave.

It was better to guide than to block.

Forcible suppression would only provoke an even stronger backlash.

These two laws were like water and fire, naturally opposed.

If he wanted to fuse them, conventional thinking simply would not work.

What exactly should he do?

Lin Feng's consciousness raced at high speed within the System Space, countless thoughts arising and perishing in an instant.

Failure after failure rapidly consumed the energy transformed from system points.

Nine thousand points...

Eight thousand points...

Five thousand points...

When more than half the points had already been consumed and the deduction still showed no progress, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Lin Feng's mind!

Frame and edge!

His thinking had been wrong from the very beginning!

Why did he have to use formations to suppress and restrain the power of cutting?

Formations were the framework!

Cutting was the blade!

The purpose of a framework was not to lock down a blade, but to support it, allowing it to unleash its greatest power in the most stable and effective manner!

Just like a blade needed a handle to be held and a spine to support it!

Having understood this, Lin Feng felt as though everything before him had suddenly opened up!

He no longer tried to construct a cage, nor did he attempt to wrap anything.

Instead, with a thought, he mobilized one golden formation rune after another and actively, precisely branded them onto the "nodes" of those black threads in an incredibly profound manner!

Not opposition, but "attachment"!

Not confinement, but "guidance"!

Buzz!

When the first golden rune successfully attached itself to a black thread, the originally violent and unruly cutting sharpness, which had been darting wildly in every direction, miraculously stabilized!

No longer did it scatter its power chaotically in every direction. Instead, it concentrated all its sharpness at the very tip of the thread!

It worked!

Lin Feng was greatly invigorated. Both hands moved at once, as though he had become the most precise craftsman.

Golden runes fluttered like living butterflies, attaching themselves with incomparable precision to the key nodes of the black threads.

Gradually, the originally chaotic mass of black threads began to undergo a qualitative transformation!

Guided and linked by the golden runes, they began arranging and combining themselves in an orderly fashion.

In the end, hundreds of millions of cutting threads actually condensed under the integration of the [Heavenly Dipper Formation] into an illusory blade as thin as a cicada's wing and nearly transparent!

This blade was formless and insubstantial, yet it emitted a supreme sharpness capable of effortlessly cleaving even space apart!

The formation runes composing its blade were like veins along its edge, firmly restraining and guiding its violent power into a perfect whole!

Success!

"Ding! Law fusion successful! Congratulations to the host for creating the divine ability—[Blade of Space]!"

Outside, on the Three Immortal Islands.

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao gazed worshipfully at the cross-legged figure before them, speaking quietly.

"Second Sister, what supreme Dao do you think Master is comprehending now?"

"I don't know, but it must be another heaven-defying method beyond anything we can imagine. Let's quietly stand guard and not disturb Master."

Bi Xiao gripped the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl in her hand. Feeling the vast power within it, her reverence and worship for Lin Feng had reached an unprecedented peak.

Just then.

Lin Feng opened his eyes.

Whoosh!

At the instant he opened his eyes, a sharp divine light, almost solid in form, flashed from the depths of his gaze!

That single glance made both Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao feel a stabbing pain between their brows, as though their primordial spirits were about to be split apart alive by his gaze!

The two women paled in shock and hurriedly lowered their heads, no longer even daring to meet Lin Feng's eyes.

What terrifying sharpness!

Lin Feng slowly rose to his feet, ignoring the two little maidservants behind him.

He raised his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together into a sword finger.

Then, he lightly swiped at the empty void before him.

The movement was utterly casual and understated, like brushing away dust before his eyes.

There was no earth-shaking display, no Mana Fluctuation capable of destroying heaven and earth, not even the slightest ripple of spiritual energy.

Yet a bizarre sight appeared.

Hiss.

A nearly inaudible sound rang out.

The void before Lin Feng was sliced open like tofu beneath the sharpest scalpel. A straight black fissure roughly the height of a person silently emerged.

The edges of the fissure were smooth as the most flawless mirror, without the slightest wrinkle or distortion.

Through the fissure, they could see violent spatial turbulence churning within, enough to instantly tear apart a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Yet when that terrifying turbulence reached the edge of the fissure, it was firmly blocked by a network of faintly glowing golden runes, unable to spill out in the slightest!

A spatial rift capable of destroying everything had been forcibly stabilized, becoming an absolutely stable "gateway" to an unknown place!

Silence.

Deathly silence.

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's beautiful eyes widened round, and they clamped their hands over their mouths to keep themselves from screaming aloud!

What had they just seen?

Tearing through space?

No, that was nothing remarkable. Once one reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, a full-force strike could barely shatter space.

But that was "shattering" it! It was crude, uncontrolled, and would create a massive spatial storm!

But what had Master done?

He had "cut" it open!

It was precise, controllable, perfect artistry!

Especially the golden runes at the edges of that fissure, restraining the spatial turbulence—they were all too familiar to the sisters!

That was... the power of the Heavenly Dipper Formation!

And Bi Xiao could sense a trace of the same origin within the supreme sharpness that had cut open space!

That was... the Great Cutting Law!

Boom!

An absurd thought so shocking that it made their primordial spirits tremble exploded in both sisters' minds at once!

Master... had actually fused two completely different, even mutually restraining supreme laws?!

And fused them into an entirely new supreme divine ability whose power surpassed the limits of their comprehension?!

"How... how is this possible..."

Bi Xiao stared blankly at the stable spatial fissure, murmuring to herself as her entire mind went blank.

More than anyone, she knew the violence and destructive nature of the Great Cutting Law, and more than anyone, she understood how difficult it was to control!

Meanwhile, Qiong Xiao stared fixedly at the runes stabilizing the spatial fissure. Within them, she saw another supreme realm of formations that she had never even dared to imagine!

Using formations to construct space, to define laws!

What kind of heaven-defying comprehension was this? What kind of terrifying method was this?

Even when a Saint expounded the Dao, he merely explained the profound principles of a single great Dao.

To melt two different great Daos into one furnace and create an entirely new "Dao"...

Was this truly something a living being could accomplish?

At this moment, as the two sisters looked at Lin Feng's ordinary, even somewhat slender back, the last trace of reason in their eyes was completely swallowed by a fire known as "fervor."

They felt as though they had glimpsed some supreme truth beyond the power of words to describe.

Submitting to such an existence was the most correct, and also the luckiest, decision they had ever made in their lives!
