Death Rules, Highgod

Chaos, slaughter!

These were the eternal themes of the Plane Prison.

The Plane Prison was vast. It had no oceans, only land, and its area was astonishingly large.

The Ice Prison accounted for roughly one-fifth of the entire Plane Prison, making it about forty times the size of the Yulan Continent.

In the Ice Prison, there were very few people below the Saint Realm—very, very few. Most were at the Saint Realm, while god-level experts accounted for roughly one percent.

The only safe place in the Ice Prison was Ice Prison City. It was the only place protected by the Ice Prison King, and the safest place to be. Outside Ice Prison City, nowhere was truly safe.

Chaos and slaughter had never ceased.

Kolan's killing of Andy had made his reputation even greater.

After all, Highgods were considered strong even in the Plane Prison.

And now, Kolan had already killed twenty Highgods.

Kolan had always felt a sense of danger, so after killing Andy, he went back to cultivating.

Even his Saint Realm True Body was cultivating alongside him.

In his Soul Ocean, the scepter representing the Life Law and the scythe representing the Death Rules were rapidly evolving.

His powerful soul gave Kolan an advantage in comprehending the Life Law and Death Rules.

His soul was even stronger than that of an ordinary Highgod.

The stronger the soul, the greater the advantage in deducing the Laws.

On the Yulan Continent, as long as one was at the Saint Realm, it was almost impossible to feel a sense of danger. But the Plane Prison was different. Even with Kolan's strength, he felt threatened, as if he might be killed if he didn't keep striving to improve.

Just like the Highgods who had died at his hands!

This made Kolan treasure every moment of cultivation, all so he could grow stronger.

There was no room for the mediocre in this kind of environment, because they never lived long.

To live comfortably in the Plane Prison, one had to become strong.

There was no other path.

Death Castle!

This was the largest power in the entire Ice Prison, second only to Ice Prison City.

It had more than a hundred Highgods alone!

More than a thousand Mid-Gods!

As for Low-Gods, there were only women!

Death Castle had no need for anyone below Mid-God!

For thirty thousand li in every direction, the land was deserted, almost completely swept clean.

"Buzz~~"

That day, the Laws of the World descended.

They came straight to the cultivation chamber where Kolan was and enveloped him.

Kolan rose into the air, unable to control himself.

A faint smile appeared on Kolan's face.

After all these years of hard cultivation, his comprehension of the Death Rules had finally reached its limit, drawing down the Laws of the World.

Under the influence of the Laws of the World, Kolan's Death Midgod Divine Spark flew out and began to transform. It was changing from a Midgod Divine Spark into a Highgod Divine Spark!

A moment later, the divine spark, now radiating gray light and a far more powerful aura, spun back into Kolan's body.

The Laws of the World faded away.

Kolan turned his hand over, took out a large number of Soul Gold Beads, and began absorbing them.

After reaching the Highgod level in the Death Rules, the upper limit of Kolan's soul power had risen considerably.

After a long while, he had absorbed all the Soul Gold Beads he had accumulated.

There still aren't enough Soul Gold Beads. Looks like I'll have to keep refining more! Kolan thought.

His Saint Realm True Body's soul power had reached its limit, but he felt that his Death Highgod Clone was still some way from reaching its maximum soul power.

Whether for his Death Highgod Clone or for when his Life God Clone reached the Highgod level, Soul Gold Beads were indispensable.

As for slaughtering living beings, that concept didn't exist in the Plane Prison.

That was simply the kind of world the Plane Prison was!

If there weren't so much chaos and slaughter here, perhaps there wouldn't be enough room for everyone in the entire Plane Prison.

I should nurture my artifacts into Highgod Artifacts and strive to bring the Life Law to the Highgod level! Kolan thought. Now that I've reached the Highgod level in the Death Rules, I'll wait until I'm accustomed to the power of a Highgod, then head to Azurefire City.

Reaching the Highgod level in the Death Rules had made Kolan's overall strength nearly ten times greater.

The one disappointing thing was that fusing divine power no longer increased his strength.

He would have to wait until the Life Law reached the Highgod level.

Still, there was no problem with nurturing the artifacts used by his Death Rules Divine Clone into Highgod Artifacts.

"Hm? This damaged Soul Defense Highgod Artifact—I thought it would take a few more years to repair, but it's already fixed." Kolan had tried to repair the Soul Defense Highgod Artifact, only to find it had been restored in an instant. "This Soul Defense Highgod Artifact will be perfect for my Life God Clone."

He now had two Soul Defense Highgod Artifacts.

That was just right: each of his two Divine Clones could use one.

With Kolan's mastery of the soul, he could also refine Soul Defense Artifacts. But there was no way to do that in the Plane Prison, because none of the available materials met the requirements for refining them.

Although the process of nurturing an artifact was the main factor in refining one, the material itself was also very important.

Soul Defense Artifacts had much stricter material requirements than Material Attack Artifacts or Material Defense Artifacts.

It's a pity the Plane Prison is so barren. Otherwise, I could try refining Death Puppets, Kolan thought.

Kolan also knew a few secret techniques used by powerful Death gods.

For example, he had refined Soul Venom that could even poison Highgods to death.

He had also refined a pink poisonous mist specifically meant to stir up the desire to kill in the soul. Anyone whose spiritual force or soul touched the mist would be in serious trouble.

As for Death Puppets, Kolan knew how to refine them, but he had never made one because he lacked the materials.

The Plane Prison was vast, but its material resources were scarce. What a Highgod could enjoy here was even less than what an ordinary Saint Realm expert on the Yulan Continent had.

No wonder that whenever a living being escaped from the Plane Prison to the Yulan Continent, the first thing they did was enjoy themselves.

If even Highgods were like that, one could only imagine how things were for Mid-Gods and Low-Gods.

After getting used to the power of a Death Highgod, Kolan finally left the chamber.

Compared to before, the castle was now much larger and grander.

One of the Earth Highgods under him had built it using the Laws of the Earth.

"Master!"

The others all bowed when they saw Kolan.

They were all under Kolan's control. They couldn't resist him and were utterly loyal to him.

Kolan remained expressionless.

"Hmm? This Gobada Plane Prison really is enormous. Even my soul power can't cover the entire continent." Kolan released his divine sense and found that it couldn't even completely cover the Ice Prison.

"There really are a lot of Highgods here. There are more than thirty thousand in the Ice Prison alone," Kolan thought.

Thirty thousand Highgods was an astonishing number.

After all, this wasn't a Divine Plane or a Material Plane.

But then again, most of the Highgods he'd killed had become Highgods by refining Godsparks. He guessed that more than half of these thirty thousand Highgods had probably done the same.
