Pure Luck

Soul Gold Beads are the essence of a powerful soul itself; they can be absorbed with ease and do not require refining.

Inside this Space Ring, there were a full ten Soul Gold Beads.

In Hell, a single Soul Gold Bead is worth 100,000 Ink Stone, meaning ten of them are worth a million Ink Stone!

Kolan was incredibly excited, not just because of the monetary value of the Soul Gold Beads, but because he felt his soul power had not yet reached its limit; absorbing these beads could strengthen his soul.

The soul is the foundation of a person.

The stronger the soul, the faster one can cultivate the Laws and Rules.

Kolan took out a Soul Gold Bead and inspected it, discovering that the bead was formed from condensed golden mist.

This golden mist was, in fact, Soul Essence.

Refining, purifying, and compressing this Soul Essence is a type of divine ability belonging to the Death Rules.

Kolan discovered that while his Battle Qi and magic power could not interact with the Soul Essence, his spiritual energy could. Once his spiritual energy drew near, it would automatically absorb the golden mist to strengthen his own soul.

Soon, Kolan had absorbed an entire Soul Gold Bead.

Hiss—! After my soul mutated, my soul power increased greatly, and the bottleneck for my soul power also rose significantly. Even after absorbing a whole Soul Gold Bead, it still hasn't reached the limit. Kolan gasped.

The amount of Soul Essence contained in a single Soul Gold Bead was immense, yet absorbing so much of it still hadn't pushed his soul power to its limit.

Following this, Kolan took out another Soul Gold Bead.

Only after absorbing this second bead did Kolan feel a sense of saturation.

This indicated that he had finally reached the limit of his soul power.

To make his soul power grow stronger, he would have to break through that limit.

And for that, Kolan would need to become a god!

"What a treasure; my soul power has become so much stronger!" Kolan's eyes shone with excitement.

With stronger soul power, his cultivation of the Life Rules and Death Rules would become much easier, and his comprehension would improve as well.

At the same time, his soul attacks would become terrifyingly powerful.

Just by refining two Soul Gold Beads, the power of his soul attacks had increased by at least three or four times.

He estimated that other Saint Realm mages, unless they possessed a Soul Defense Artifact, would be unable to withstand his soul attacks.

"There are still three artifacts; the power radiating from these is so strong!" Kolan swallowed hard.

A saber, a sword, and a suit of armor.

All of them radiated an aura of death; they were clearly artifacts with the death attribute.

It seems the owner of this Space Ring was a god-level expert who cultivated the Death Rules! Kolan thought to himself.

Kolan dripped his blood onto the three artifacts to claim them as his own. For the current Kolan, these artifacts were very important and could significantly boost his strength.

"I've really hit the jackpot this time!" Kolan was extremely excited.

This could be considered a stroke of incredible luck.

He took out several books. There were books introducing the Netherworld, books on the Seven Elemental Laws and the Four Rules, and even cultivation notes.

There were twenty books in total.

"Hiss—! This is a massive and precious fortune!" Kolan exclaimed in awe.

He had already realized that the original owner of the Space Ring came from the Netherworld.

Otherwise, the books would not have focused on the Netherworld rather than other Supreme Planes or Divine Planes.

As for these books, they would greatly broaden Kolan's horizons.

After steadying his mind, Kolan began to search the Mist Valley.

Although there were many Magic Beasts in the Mist Valley, none of them dared to act recklessly under the pressure of Kolan's Saint Realm aura.

Unfortunately, there was nothing else in the Mist Valley that caught Kolan's eye.

Perhaps during some great battle, the original owner of the Space Ring had died or lost the ring during the conflict, causing it to be blown away by the aftermath of the battle and land in the Mist Valley.

Regardless, Kolan had made a huge profit.

Kolan returned to the cave and began to read the books carefully.

Kolan started with the book introducing the Netherworld; it was quite thick.

The Netherworld had two teleportation points: one was the Undead Holy Mountain, and the other was the Nethergod Holy Mountain. The Undead Holy Mountain was located at the border between the Netherworld and the Undead Realm. To the north of the Undead Holy Mountain lived endless undead; this area was also known as the 'Undead Realm'. The region to the south of the Undead Holy Mountain was the so-called 'Netherworld', which was an ocean of experts!

The entire Netherworld was a single continent, and beyond the continent lay the vast and endless Nether Sea.

In the Netherworld, there were 81 prefectures in total, each with ten cities. Each prefecture had a Prefect, and these Prefects were all super-experts.

The Netherworld also had a super-organization called the 'Fiend Castle'. Fiend Castles were spread throughout every city in the Netherworld. As long as one passed the assessment of the Fiend Castle, they could become a Fiend. Fiends were the elite of the Netherworld; they did not need to pay Nether Stones to enter the cities of the Netherworld. Nether Stones were the common currency of the Netherworld.

Fiends were ranked from One-Star Fiend to Seven-Star Fiend.

Kolan read with great interest. The data even included a map of the Netherworld continent. It wasn't extremely detailed, but it was enough to let one know just how vast the Netherworld continent truly was.

Afterward, Kolan looked through the other books, all of which opened his eyes to a new world.

The Seven Elemental Laws were each introduced with detailed explanations of their profound mysteries.

As for the Four Rules, they were also introduced, though without such detailed breakdowns of their mysteries.

"Hiss... terrifying, truly terrifying. This book actually contains the refining methods for Soul Gold Beads, God-Slaying Arrows, Death God Puppets, and Soul Venom." Kolan gasped as he looked at the final book.

Without a doubt, these were all items that would be used by god-level experts of the Death Rules.

And once one learned even a single one of these, it was easy to imagine that even a Lowgod of the Death Rules could live quite comfortably.

After all, a Lowgod of the Death Rules could hunt Saint Realm experts to collect souls and refine them into Soul Gold Beads. A single Soul Gold Bead could be sold to the castle for seventy thousand Nether Stones, which was far more valuable than what Lowgods of other elements could earn by crafting Lowgod Artifacts.

It was likely that the wealth possessed by a single Lowgod of the Death Rules far exceeded that of a Midgod of any other element.

No wonder that book said the wealthiest group among god-level experts are those of the Death Rules! Kolan thought to himself, finding the statement highly credible.

Soul Gold Beads, God-Slaying Arrows, Death God Puppets, and Soul Venom—none of these things were cheap.

Take Soul Gold Beads, for instance; selling one for seventy thousand Nether Stones was easy!

This was far more profitable than selling artifacts or godheads!

Kolan began to read with great focus, as this was, to him, an invaluable treasure.

Once he mastered these, he would be able to live very comfortably in the Supreme Plane or the Divine Plane by relying on his specialized skills.

In his view, the most precious items were this book, the introductions to the cultivation of the Death Rules and Life Rules, and those Death Rules Cultivation Notes.

That was the cultivation record of a High-God of the Death Rules, which was incredibly precious to someone like Kolan who was also cultivating the Death Rules.

It could save him from taking many wrong turns; after all, fumbling alone in the dark could never compare to the speed of having a lamp to light the way forward.
