"I was just short on money, and here it comes."
Linley looked at the spatial ring in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. In hell, no legitimate business could compare to the pure, raw profit of killing and plundering.
The strong at the top of the pyramid would only become stronger and richer, while the weak could only become nourishment. It was cruel, but it was the reality.
A Seven-star Demon only had this much wealth, much less than he had expected. However, his experience was based on the memories from the original work.
The timeline had diverged significantly now, and the number of God-level powerhouses was even smaller. Thinking about it this way, it was actually normal.
Linley suddenly remembered something. He took out a Low-level Divine Spark from the spatial ring and held it in his palm. As he flew, he activated his Magnetic Field ability, and specks of light blue light surrounded the Divine Spark.
This continued for a full year, but the Divine Spark in his palm showed no signs of softening or damage.
Linley silently put away the Divine Spark. He wasn't disappointed; it was a bold experiment and practice for his Magnetic Field ability. Unknowingly, he entered a subtle state of enlightenment.
"Magnetic Field... Element... Life Force..."
Linley's flying speed gradually slowed, and he finally landed on an island covered by a red forest. Beside a dense gravel beach, he closed his eyes and fully deduced that faint, elusive feeling. His entire body was enveloped in a faint blue light, drawing the magnetic field vortex to continuously compress energy, heat up, fissure, and temper his physical body, strengthening it bit by bit!
"Urmi, you're going too far!"
"Fox, pay back my brother's life!"
"None of you will leave the Star Mist Sea alive today!"
Shouts of killing echoed from the red forest, along with residual Divine Power ripples. The air currents stirred the leaves and sand, blowing them towards the beach.
"It's a High-God Demon!"
The two sides fighting fiercely had not paid attention to their surroundings. Now that they discovered this High-God Demon, they stopped fighting in unison. Feeling Linley's powerful aura imbued with lightning, the expressions of both groups changed. One group, a Night Elf Race with black skin, was pushed to a desperate situation. After quickly exchanging telepathic messages, they charged forward directly.
Just at this moment, Linley's enlightenment state faded, and his consciousness returned to clarity. The instant he opened his eyes, an urge for release erupted, and he instinctively threw a punch forward.
"Boom!"
A thunderous force was unleashed, and the space, as fragile as paper, cracked open, forming a fist-sized, ten-meter-long fissure!
This group of Night Elves, who wanted to shift the blame, died without even having time to react. Including their Divine Avatars and true bodies, they were all annihilated by the turbulent currents!
"Good luck!"
Linley laughed heartily.
He had already fully fused the Lightning Element, Lightning Speed, and Electromagnetic Space, three profound mysteries. His fusion progress with other profound mysteries varied. This enlightenment allowed the Lightning Element and the Lightning Marsh to fully merge!
The difficult part of fusing profound mysteries was the beginning and the end. Without opportunity, one might not be able to cross that threshold even after a long time.
Linley sighed inwardly, "The life force of the Lightning Law is to flourish amidst destruction. The stronger the accumulated energy, the more violent the explosion. Life force that surpasses the limit of endurance is equivalent to destruction, death!"
If he were to be severely injured now, whether his body or soul, his recovery efficiency would greatly increase.
Of course, Linley didn't want too many opportunities to experience this.
As the saying goes, if you master one thing, you master all.
Although it wasn't that magical in reality, it could definitely be called understanding by analogy. Just like now, the three major rules Linley was cultivating had advanced further, with more or less new insights.
Inside Linley's mansion in Red Stone City.
"Buzz—!"
Heaven and Earth rules descended, and Linley's Life God Avatar broke through to the Mid-level God realm.
His Death God Avatar was also in seclusion, digesting the insights shared from his Saint Domain true body. Although he hadn't broken through yet, he was not far off.
The Life God Avatar adapted to his new power and said with a smile, "The Lightning God Avatar's recent trip for cultivation has yielded tremendous results. It's much more efficient than cultivating in seclusion within the city."
"Splash..."
On the island covered by the red forest, pale purple waves lapped against the rocks, and a cool sea breeze carrying mist blew over.
This was the edge of the Star Mist Sea, only a few hundred miles from the Blood Peak Continent.
"My lord, spare us!"
"We harbor absolutely no ill will towards you, my lord!"
The group fighting the Night Elf Race were Druids. Seeing Linley's decisive strike that created a spatial rift, they immediately realized he was a super powerhouse of Seven-star Demon level. Their expressions changed, and they bowed their heads respectfully and fearfully, begging for mercy, their hearts trembling and unable to calm down.
Seven-star Demon!
They were the rarest of the top existences in the entire hell. To encounter one filled them with immeasurable fear, overshadowing any surprise.
There was no chance to escape, and resisting would be suicide. Thus, they could only kneel!
This wasn't a choice, but a life-or-death question!
"Where is this? How far is it from the Blood Peak Continent?"
Linley frowned, surveying the surrounding environment. He was still in the Star Mist Sea, that was certain.
When he entered the state of enlightenment, his perception of non-threatening external matters was greatly reduced, and he had unknowingly arrived here.
While asking, Linley also casually collected some Divine Sparks and spatial rings from the beach. He never gave benefits to others.
The leader of the group, a burly Druid with glossy dark green hair, immediately pointed in a direction and respectfully said, "My lord, departing from this Fire Maple Island, you are only a few hundred miles from the Blood Peak Continent."
Linley's magnetic field sensed that the other party was not lying. He nodded, took out a Metal Life, threw a God Crystal into the control room, and activated it. It transformed into a black shadow and rapidly disappeared into the sky.
Linley opened up a room, and his Lightning Element High-God Avatar began refining the Soul Gold Beads one by one. The High-God soul, having completed its transformation, greedily absorbed these nutrients to grow stronger.
His Saint Domain true body and his Destruction Mid-level God Avatar cultivated together.
"Zzzt..."
Tendrils of black energy flowed like arcs of electricity across Linley's body. His eyes were tightly shut as his two bodies sat cross-legged facing each other.
The power of the Destruction Rule collided and fused, sometimes predictably, sometimes unpredictably.
Linley's body began to blur and twist, and the surrounding space rippled faintly.
Cultivating rules was different from cultivating laws; there were no clear divisions of profound mysteries.
His method was similar to that of most rule-based God-level powerhouses: he imitated the classification of profound mysteries in laws to achieve fusion.
The number of categories varied from person to person, but most had six, and he was no exception.
Influenced by the Lightning Law, while comprehending the Destruction Rule, his mind would connect to the destructive power of lightning, the impact of electromagnetic waves on matter, and so on.
The sea of his soul began to churn...
Linley sank into thought, musing, "Destruction isn't just a concept on the material level; it also exists on the mental and spiritual levels! It can destroy not only the body but also annihilate the world of the mind!"
The black energy resembling electric arcs that had been lingering around his body gradually became deeper and purer, rather than a rigid imitation of the Lightning Element Law.
Subtle changes occurred silently, and sparks of comprehension merged into the depths of his soul sea, deepening Linley's understanding of the Destruction Rule bit by bit, steadily moving him toward becoming a High-God.
