Silver-white spatial fragments littered the path ahead. The pressure before him was vast and mighty, so powerful that even Zhou Lin's Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body made his scalp tingle.
Without relying on the Talisman Token to enter, even he would not be able to endure it.
"My remaining energy isn't enough to reach the deepest part." Zhou Lin frowned tightly. Yet after finally arriving at such a treasured place, merely perfecting the Law of Space would not mean much.
He was an unparalleled prodigy. Even without coming to this Space Corridor, deducing the laws to the fourteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge would only be a matter of time.
At most, Zhou Lin would reach that point within a few decades.
A place regarded as a treasure by that race could not possibly be as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"I'll try the Void Realm." Zhou Lin's physical body began to turn illusory. Outside, when he fully unleashed his domain, it could cover an area of ten million miles.
Yet within the Space Corridor, he could only maintain it across several hundred miles.
Once his body had completely undergone Void Transformation, the surging energy no longer exerted pressure on him. At most, only one ten-thousandth of it, or even less, could seep in.
One ten-thousandth of the energy was like a gentle breeze brushing his face for Zhou Lin, who had mastered the Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body.
It was not that the energy here was not powerful enough, but that no one was controlling it. One had to know that comprehending complete Space True Intent allowed one to permeate the Void Realm.
Even naturally radiated energy could penetrate one ten-thousandth of the way inside.
He advanced deeper step by step. At Zhou Lin's speed, he soon entered the region where King Immortals cultivated.
The Primordial region contained only layer upon layer of space. Its profundities were simple, and its power was not particularly strong. Even talented Realm Lords could occasionally enter to cultivate.
The middle region was covered in silver-white spatial fragments. With the aid of Talisman Tokens, Marquis Immortals could remain there for a long time.
But upon reaching the depths, the power that seeped in made Zhou Lin feel immense pressure. Even after turning himself into particles, he found it somewhat unbearable.
"The first level of the Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body is still too weak." Zhou Lin looked unwillingly toward the front. Staying here made it difficult for him to calm down and cultivate.
The pressure on his body was immense, like an ordinary person being roasted over a fire.
Only because Zhou Lin's Mental Will was not weak did he endure such pain without crying out.
"Kid, what kind of place is this?" The Azure Cloud Bracelet suddenly spoke. Even in his voided state, it could remain attached to Zhou Lin's body.
It could then enter the Void Realm along with him.
"You can think of it as a Tiandi Secret Realm," Zhou Lin explained. Though his tone was calm, a careful listener could detect a slight tremble in it.
He was clearly enduring tremendous pain.
Zhou Lin was unwilling to accept this. If he could calm down and comprehend the mysteries here, he would gain enormously, but it was difficult for him to do so.
The rules of heaven and earth were fair. Areas where laws were easy to comprehend were often accompanied by immense difficulty.
Even though the Honored Lords had painstakingly refined Talisman Tokens, they could only allow those geniuses to enter for one year. Even they did not know the secrets of the deeper regions.
"This place is rather interesting." The Azure Cloud Bracelet suddenly left Zhou Lin's body, and the Artifact Spirit manifested in the form of an old man.
Zhou Lin asked in astonishment, "I can barely move here, yet you don't feel any pressure at all?"
Artifact Spirits themselves were not particularly strong. They had to be wielded by their masters to unleash their full strength. There was no way the Artifact Spirit of a World Divine Artifact could rival a Realm God.
Likewise, a True God Artifact could not rely on its Artifact Spirit alone to rival a True God.
The Cangyun Artifact Spirit snorted and said arrogantly, "How could a bit of spatial power place any pressure on me? Kid, although you cultivate a Realm God Secret Art, you rely entirely on your Divine Body to resist it. Naturally, you find it uncomfortable."
Zhou Lin froze. He seemed to have gained some insight, yet it was still unclear.
"You're hopeless. And you call yourself a First Grade True Meaning Transcendent?"
The Cangyun Artifact Spirit said irritably, "Have you not studied Space True Intent at all? The essence of this power is spatial power."
Zhou Lin suddenly understood. Though he had studied the Law of Space for many years, he had never considered the essence of that power.
Within the Rule Profundity System, it could be further divided into Space Cutting True Meaning, Space Rift True Meaning, and complete Space True Intent.
For example, the spatial fragments scattered throughout the middle region belonged to the power of Space Cutting. They were incomparably sharp, enough to effortlessly slice apart planets one after another.
But here, the power of space was another kind entirely.
Zhou Lin's comprehension was monstrously high. With only a slight bit of guidance from the Cangyun Artifact Spirit, he understood everything. Whether he traveled through the Void Realm or concealed himself within it, he had actually been resisting by force.
A certain race quickly came to mind.
The Demon Killer Clan, darlings of the Law of Space and reputed to be the race most skilled in assassination, could use Teleportation through their Talent Secret Skill.
"If members of the Demon Killer Clan were here, they would definitely endure it better than I could." After realizing this, Zhou Lin began to create a Void Realm clone.
Whenever he explored, he used a Void Realm clone to scout ahead.
Normally, his Void Realm clone should have collapsed the instant it appeared in this region. Yet now, it unexpectedly maintained a strange balance.
A full three seconds passed.
Bang!
Only then did the Void Realm clone explode, and delight appeared on Zhou Lin's face.
"Your comprehension is fairly decent." The Cangyun Artifact Spirit nodded in satisfaction.
The pressure on Zhou Lin's True Body also eased considerably. Once he could analyze the essence of the power, he knew how to deal with it.
That was how the Rule Profundity System worked. It excelled at analyzing the rules of heaven and earth. Since Zhou Lin's comprehension of space was already high, he could naturally adjust with ease.
"Space?" A thought suddenly arose in Zhou Lin's mind. He felt deeply stirred, as though he was about to comprehend complete Space True Intent at any moment.
Then the Cangyun Artifact Spirit suddenly said, "Kid, do you want to take a look at the deepest part?"
Zhou Lin was abruptly pulled out of that feeling, but he was not annoyed. Even if he did not comprehend Space True Intent in one go, he could still do so after leaving and spending some time on it.
"The deepest part? I'm afraid only Realm Gods can enter there, or perhaps even Realm Gods might not be able to reach it." Zhou Lin frowned.
The information Zhou Ming Wang had given him did not record the scene at the deepest part.
"Think about it. What am I?" The Cangyun Artifact Spirit cursed in exasperation. "I'm a Spacetime Dao World Divine Artifact. How could mere spatial power affect me?"
The spatial layer and the spacetime layer were vastly different.
The spacetime layer was like a thousand-layered pastry. Different spacetime dimensions existed at different levels and were extremely difficult to find.
As for the spatial layer, methods such as Zhou Lin's Void Realm World or Shadow World were, in essence, merely different distributions within the same space.
They possessed no dimensional difference whatsoever.
Just as Universe Venerables who completely merged into space could still be easily discovered by a Universe Master who controlled a region of spacetime.
Of course, if one's power reached a sufficiently high level, it could make up for such differences in laws. Top Universe Overlords were like this.
But at the very least, the power of this Space Corridor should still be unable to threaten the Cangyun Artifact Spirit, which controlled spacetime.
