After grasping the general framework of the laws governing the Destruction Palace, Chen Rui finally realized that this Destruction Palace should have been derived from a source origin—or rather, the Destruction Palace itself was an illusion conjured by that source origin.
Of course, this "illusion" was not meant to bluff anyone. It was meant to kill.
The source origin was within the palace. It might be hidden anywhere, or perhaps nowhere at all. But as long as he broke the laws of this palace, he would be able to find where the source origin lay.
However, even false gods could not withstand the power of the Destruction Palace's laws, much less break them.
The law of destruction was not singular; it could evolve into countless transformations. Everyone understood it differently, yet all paths ultimately returned to the same source, and that source origin remained the same. With Shura, this special incarnation, Chen Rui could touch upon a portion of the source origin's power. Unfortunately, his comprehension and understanding were still at a relatively rudimentary stage, far from reaching the true height of "source origin."
The Destruction Palace was a tangible manifestation born from the source origin laws. At Chen Rui's current level, it was impossible for him to crush the palace's law power. But he did not need to suppress it with absolute strength. A thousand-mile dike could collapse from an ant hole. In theory, he only needed to affect a few critical points for the palace to collapse on its own.
Only source origin power could "affect" the critical points of a source origin. Thus, Chen Rui needed Shura's power. Shura was a body of destruction derived from another Silver Casket and itself represented part of the source origin. Of course, theory and practice were worlds apart. Chen Rui
