Void Sutra and Void Mirror

"Thump, thump, thump~"

The moment Ling Xuan broke through to the Star Level, his heart beat like the roar of war drums, each pulsation sending ripples through space.

The surrounding world instantly shed all its color, leaving only a tapestry of black and white between heaven and earth, as if time and space had frozen, with all things witnessing this metamorphosis.

Cosmic energy, like thousands of stars responding to an ancient summons, dragged brilliant tails of light as they swarmed out from rifts in the void. Ignoring distance and dimensions, they converged madly toward the location of Ling Xuan's heart, carving gorgeous trajectories of energy through the air.

Thump—thump-thump—thump-thump-thump—the heartbeat grew more and more vigorous, sounding like the roar of an ancient desolate beast or the chaotic resonance of the world's creation.

Under the impact of this vast energy, a blinding golden light ignited at Ling Xuan's heart, and matter condensed and compressed frantically.

In the blink of an eye, an Origin Core radiating a mysterious luster took shape within the light, its surface flowing with profound, arcane patterns.

The moment the Origin Core was born, countless stars dimmed and then brightened once more.

An ancient aura, spanning endless time and space, descended from the depths of chaos, carrying with it the shattered prestige of an emperor.

A streak of purple light tore through the firmament and plunged directly into the center of Ling Xuan's brow.

In an instant, Ling Xuan's consciousness was dragged into an infinite, dark void, and a vicissitudinous yet majestic whisper echoed in his ears: "I use the void to attain the Dao, invincible across the past, present, and future..."

A massive influx of information surged into Ling Xuan's sea of consciousness like a tidal wave, and an ancient scripture titled Void Sutra slowly unfolded in the depths of his mind.

This was the enlightenment scripture of the Void Emperor from the Shrouded Heavens World, recording supreme secret techniques for traversing the void and tearing through space. Between the lines flowed the magnificent will of the Void Emperor, who had traversed the universe, battled heaven and earth, and pacified the dark forbidden zones.

At the same time, the light within the Origin Core flared, and a primitive, simple mirror slowly emerged.

The mirror's surface was hazy, as if covered by a thin mist, yet it faintly radiated a terrifying pressure capable of devouring the void. The edges of the mirror were engraved with ancient inscriptions; it was the supreme imperial weapon of the Void Emperor—the Void Mirror.

Chaotic currents seemed to churn within the mirror, occasionally flashing with scenes of the Void Emperor battling in forbidden zones against dark supreme beings.

"So that's how it is..." Ling Xuan snapped out of his shock, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I never imagined that this Heart of the Martial God would be so heaven-defying, capable of linking to infinite worlds and seizing the fortune of the myriad realms to nourish me alone!"

His heart surged with emotion; recalling the moment the Void Emperor's inheritance descended, it still felt like a dream.

"The combat power of the Void Emperor is comparable to the top-tier Lords of the Universe in this cosmos. If the Void Mirror were to fully awaken, it might truly possess the strength to contend with a Lord of the Universe!"

Ling Xuan muttered to himself. This was information obtained from the Heart of the Martial God, so he didn't need to rely on his own memory to judge whether the Void Emperor's strength would hold up in this universe.

At this moment, the Void Mirror was quietly nourishing itself within the newly born Origin Core inside his body, like a dormant primordial beast.

The innate secret technique granted by the Primal Universe's origin will during its last descent had also been recorded onto the Origin Core, forming a secret pattern, though the pattern now seemed significantly more complex.

One only needed to activate this pattern to unleash the innate secret technique.

This Void Mirror could serve as his ultimate trump card against powerful enemies, but the energy required to make it fully awaken was astronomical.

With his current Star Level strength, using the Void Mirror would only allow him to hold it above his head to save his own life.

To truly ignite the supreme imperial prestige, he would likely have to rely on the deity of the Void Mirror to awaken on its own.

Ling Xuan attempted to communicate with the deity of the Void Mirror, but the reply he received was to stop bothering it and go play elsewhere.

Fortunately, it was capable of responding, so he wouldn't be left without a path to call for help.

Meanwhile, Ling Xuan keenly sensed that the fluctuations of the Law of Fire, which he had faintly perceived back at the Planetary Level, were now becoming increasingly clear.

If it had previously felt like being separated by a thick stone wall, catching only a faint trace of the law's aura, now, after breaking through to the Star Level, it felt as if only a thin veil separated them. He could intuitively feel the rolling heat waves emitted by the Law of Fire—a near-tangible scorching sensation, as if he could reach out and touch the contours of the law.

"No time to lose, strike while the iron is hot, and strive to comprehend a trace of the Law of Fire in one go!" Ling Xuan's gaze was burning. Without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged, his aura retracting as he immersed his entire mind into the perception of the Law of Fire.

He closed his eyes, resonating with the faint, ethereal fluctuations of the Law of Fire in the outside world, tightly grasping the scorching path hidden within the cosmic space.

Time passed quietly as Ling Xuan immersed himself in the world of law perception, completely forgetting himself.

In that mysterious spiritual world, fire was no longer just a burning element, but transformed into vivid scenes: perhaps in the ancient era, raging flames swept across the world, leveling mountains and rivers; or in the microscopic world, fire particles danced and collided along exquisite trajectories, releasing endless energy.

Every scene contained the mysteries of the Law of Fire, and Ling Xuan, like a treasure hunter, searched for that crucial clue within this bizarre and colorful world of fire.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xuan's body trembled slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

In his space of consciousness, an extremely fine golden thread quietly took shape, radiating a scorching aura as if it had been condensed from endless flames.

This was a trace of the origin Law of Fire, finally successfully comprehended by Ling Xuan after a long period of exploration and perception.

"Success!" Ling Xuan opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes filled with irrepressible joy.

He stood up, his aura climbing once more. He released his Flame Domain instantly; the already powerful domain now carried a hint of the mysterious charm of the Law of Fire, as if he had merged with the flames and become their master.

Carrying this joy and excitement, Ling Xuan couldn't wait to head to the temple to find the Temple Envoy.

Stepping into the temple, the magnificent hall was filled with dappled light and shadow.

The Temple Envoy was standing in front of a giant crystal ball, seemingly deducing something.

Noticing Ling Xuan's arrival, he turned around slowly, his eyes carrying a hint of anticipation: "Ling Xuan, seeing your expression, have you had a major breakthrough?"

Ling Xuan suppressed his inner excitement, bowed respectfully, and said: "Lord Envoy, I have not failed your expectations. I have successfully broken through to the Star Level and comprehended a trace of the Law of Fire!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, releasing his Flame Domain, and that trace of the Law of Fire flashed within it.

A flash of pleasant surprise crossed the Temple Envoy's eyes as he nodded slightly: "Good, very good! You have completed the first stage of your training goals so quickly; you are truly worthy of being the genius in whom my Zhulong lineage places such high hopes!"

He waved his hand, and a glowing stone platform slowly rose. Resting quietly on the platform was a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear with a primitive design and a sharp aura, its blade flowing with mysterious runes. It was the top-tier Grade 5 force weapon promised earlier.

"This is your reward—the Fire God Absolute Domain Blade. The accompanying secret technique has also been sent to your Virtual Universe email for you to study in detail later."

Ling Xuan stepped forward and solemnly received the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear with both hands. It felt heavy, yet it seemed to be in perfect harmony with his thoughts.

"Many thanks, Lord Envoy! I will certainly not fail your expectations and will continue to cultivate diligently!"
