After fifty years of research and combat, he had formed a prototype of the secret method and wondered how powerful it would be when finished.

• Zhou Hao chose to study the Life Law Secret Method because his other possible secret methods would offer little immediate improvement.

• Fortress Master Fan Nuo fled after Zhou Hao's attacks cost him a tenth of his divine body, then reported that Sword River Lord had Universe Master-level combat power.

He resolved to develop his Fourth Style of Space-Time before continuing to perfect the Chaos Law.
