Ancient Space-Time, Law Power, One Shot to the Soul!

Chapter 45: Ancient Space-Time, Law Power, One Shot to the Soul!

"What the hell is this?!"

Su Mu stared at the marble-sized, bone-like object in his hand and voiced his confusion.

This thing looked like a fish bone, but based on his experience from slaughtering fish at Da Runfa for ten years in his previous life, he knew every bone a fish had like the back of his hand.

There was absolutely no bone shaped like this.

At that moment, his teeth began to ache faintly. That bite just now had nearly shattered his old teeth, and in a fit of anger, Su Mu was about to toss it straight into the river.

But the next second, he noticed something was off.

Su Mu inspected it closely and discovered that the jet-black bone was engraved with dense runes that seemed to be writing.

After studying it for a long while, Su Mu's face showed surprise. The black color on the surface of this fish bone was not the bone's original color at all—it was formed from layer upon layer of tiny, densely packed words overlapping into blackness!

The more he looked at those words, the more familiar they seemed.

Suddenly, he thought of something and pulled a green leaf from his sleeve.

He had robbed this green leaf from one of the River Crossing People some time ago. After carefully studying it afterward, he discovered that the leaf was far from ordinary—it was a treasure.

More importantly, it too was inscribed with dense writing.

He placed the fish bone beside the green leaf and compared them carefully. The more he compared them, the more alarmed he became!

The words on the fish bone and the green leaf seemed to share the same origin. Though the two passages differed, they were tightly connected.

It was like a cultivation art: the fish bone contained the first volume, while the green leaf contained the second.

Yet after examining them carefully, they did not seem like a cultivation art. They seemed more like a kind of rule! Some time ago, Su Mu had tried cultivating the text on the green leaf, but after several attempts, every one had ended in failure.

Now that he had obtained this fish bone, he found that he seemed to understand a little of it. The two parts linked together, carrying on from one another.

Su Mu ate boiled fish while studying the writing.

Before he knew it, he had finished every last piece of fish in the pot.

The next moment, he felt the immense energy within his abdomen on the verge of erupting!

Su Mu hurriedly stopped his research and began circulating his cultivation arts to absorb the energy within his body.

However, Su Mu had underestimated the energy contained in this treasure fish. Even while running both the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art at once, he still found it exceedingly strenuous.

Just as that energy was about to spiral out of control.

The second heart on Su Mu's right side, along with the Supreme Bone and Golden Bone in his body, began exerting their strength. They assisted Su Mu in digesting this surging energy, and only then did he slowly suppress the rampaging power.

It took more than ten hours to completely digest and absorb the energy. Thanks to the golden heart, the Supreme Bone, and the Golden Bone, the absorption rate reached a terrifying ninety percent, with only ten percent of the energy wasted.

At that moment, Su Mu's aura began to surge wildly! The final divine treasure instantly condensed! He had now cultivated the most perfect Transformation Spirit Five Treasures throughout all of ancient and modern times! He was only a single step away from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Su Mu exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi and felt incomparably clear throughout. He could feel every inch of flesh and every cell in his body undergoing sublimation.

This treasure fish had directly allowed him to cultivate the final divine treasure. It was clear just what an unparalleled great medicine this Treasure Silver Carp was.

However, such treasure fish were simply too rare.

After successfully cultivating the Transformation Spirit Five Treasures, Su Mu continued studying the writing on the fish bone and green leaf.

Without realizing it, Su Mu entered a state of intoxicated enlightenment. Everything around him became exceptionally quiet, while each character flowed through his mind. This was the state of enlightenment cultivators dreamed of. Just like that, Su Mu forgot the passage of time and sat in meditation for seven whole days.

When he opened his eyes, faint Immortal Light containing Dao essence gleamed within his pupils.

He waved a hand toward the space before him, but nothing happened.

Su Mu was dumbfounded. Was it really this weak?

After seven full days of enlightenment, he had finally learned what cultivation art was recorded on the fish bone and green leaf.

No, it was not a cultivation art. It was a law known as Space Law Power.

However, after comprehending it for so long, Su Mu had only grasped a tiny bit of its surface.

When in doubt, add points first!

Law of Space: Level 0 (0/1000)

Su Mu was dumbfounded at the sight.

What the hell? Raising it from Level 0 to Level 1 actually required a full thousand Favor Points! Wasn't that a little too outrageous?

He opened his Favor Points panel.

River Favor Points: 25360

During this period, he had barely spent any and had saved a total of over twenty-five thousand Favor Points. But taking out a thousand at once still made his heart ache somewhat.

Same as always—he would raise River Affinity first.

Favor Points -20000

River Affinity: 0.2% → River Affinity: 0.4%

With the increase of 0.2%, Su Mu's connection to this river deepened by another small measure.

Since he had to refine this river first in order to leave this damned place, he could not simply use all his Favor Points on draws.

Five thousand Favor Points remained, so he would use some to improve his strength first.

Favor Points -1000

Law of Space: Level 0 (0/1000) → Law of Space: Level 1 (0/10000)

After spending a thousand Favor Points to raise Law of Space to Level 1, countless insights flooded Su Mu's mind. For one brief instant, he felt as if he could crush the space before him with a wave of his hand!

His eyes narrowed as he clenched his hand at the void before him.

Forget crushing space—he could not even make it distort. There was not the slightest change.

Su Mu was dumbfounded. Was it really this weak?? This place's space was probably more stable, he could only console himself like that.

Raising this Law of Space from Level 1 to Level 2 actually required a full ten thousand Favor Points. Su Mu balked at the price, so he would not consider it for the time being.

He would raise it later, once it had been granted.

There were 4,360 Favor Points remaining.

Su Mu opened his attribute panel.

Host: Su Mu

Cultivation: Transformation Spirit Five Treasures

Controlled Divine Abilities: Water Manipulation (Level 2), Swimming (Level 2)

Mastered Cultivation Methods: Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art (Third Layer), Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength (Third Layer)

Mastered Laws: Law of Space (Level 1)

Controlled Water Beasts: No-Loach Dragon, Boundary Ray Beast, Stone Yue Beast

River Affinity: 0.4%

River Favor Points: 4360

Su Mu spotted the key point. His attributes now had an additional Mastered Laws category, and the Law of Space he had just comprehended belonged under laws. It seemed to stand a level above cultivation methods.

In that case, he might as well raise the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art and Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength too.

Favor Points -1500

Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength: Third Layer (0/1500) → Fourth Layer (0/2000)

Favor Points -500

Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art: Third Layer (0/500) → Fourth Layer (0/1000)

As the two cultivation methods improved, Su Mu's insights into them rose to an entirely new level.

After the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength rose to the fourth layer, a full one million flesh particles transformed into Divine Elephant Particles!

Adding the previous 110,500 Divine Elephant Particles, he now had a total of 1,110,500 Divine Elephant Particles!

After he unleashed the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, the phantom divine elephant behind him became several times stronger.

With the improvement of his cultivation methods, Su Mu's cultivation also rose accordingly. He was now infinitely close to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Since Water Manipulation and Swimming required his affinity to reach 1% before they could be raised further, he would not consider them for now.

After raising everything that needed raising, he still had 2,360 Favor Points left.

His gambling itch flared up again!

Let's gamble once!

Spending 1 Favor Point. Performing ordinary draw...

The next second, golden light flashed. When Su Mu saw the item before him, his eyes went wide.

Ah... ah? One shot to the soul?!
