When the Yanzhu King quietly descended upon Earth, Zhang Junbao finally arrived at the Core Land.
This is a void where even spacetime is completely distorted. All eight distinct Law converge here, gradually merging into a distorted spacetime. Countless void faces fly across the entire void, resembling incredibly distorted faces that send chills down one's spine.
"Is this the true form of Senior Brother Luanshen Shen's Innate Secret Technique? The entire void is filled with Soul Splitting. Most of the lives that have disappeared from the Chaotic God Demon Domain over the past billions of epochs are probably here, right?"
Although the Chaotic God Demon Domain is a secret realm, it is extremely vast, equivalent to the area of a Universe Country. Although the density of life within it is far less than that of a normal Universe Country, there are still trillions of life forms.
Millions of years ago, when the Void Face erupted, it swept across almost the entire Chaotic God Demon Domain, bringing legendary Great Terror, with less than one percent of the lives surviving.
" Senior Brother Luanshen, I saw the Great Terror that swept through the Chaotic God Demon Domain countless eons ago in the divine city with the eight Law Core. It must have been your Soul Splitting that erupted back then."
But why did you return here again, and only Soul Splitting when the Eye of the Abyss mutated once more?
Zhang Junbao asked, puzzled.
He had identified the source of the Great Terror annihilation of all life in the Chaotic God Demon Domain Realm as the Demon Venerable Luanshen beside him. But if the Demon Venerable Luanshen's Soul Splitting lacked a central consciousness, why had it taken so many years for it to reappear?
"This involves the mysteries of the Chaotic God Demon Domain. Only when the Eye of the Abyss undergoes an anomaly and shifts again can my Soul Splitting leave the Core Land. At other times, a peculiar force will imprison me here."
"Another unknown force?" Zhang Junbao discovered that there were too many secrets hidden in the Chaotic God Demon Domain. Even the Demon Venerable Luanshen, a peak Universe Venerable, could not completely figure out what else this secret realm was hiding.
With his current strength, it's simply impossible for him to completely uncover the true nature of this secret realm.
Despite having countless doubts, Zhang Junbao knew that the most urgent task at hand was to help the Demon Venerable Luanshen recover his strength.
" Senior Brother Luanshen, I'm ready and can begin at any time." Zhang Junbao took a deep breath, looking at the countless illusory faces in the void, and understood that what must be faced would eventually have to be faced.
If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the Demon Venerable Luanshen's Soul Splitting, Zhang Junbao might have come here himself to find a way to leave.
"All the Immortal Expert within the eight divine cities have left and come here. They haven't been found yet; if we haven't found a way to leave, they're probably in grave danger."
Zhang Junbao paid some attention to the eight divine cities' King-level Immortal, as he didn't want to have to guard against at least eight Immortal Expert while facing countless Soul Splitting.
"Senior brother, I heard in the Divine City that eight King-level Immortal from the Divine City came here to find a way to leave. I wonder if you have found them?"
"Eight King Rank?"
The Demon Venerable Luanshen squinted, casually grabbed a Soul Splitting that floated beside him, and swallowed it. Not long after, he opened his eyes again, and a memory had appeared in his mind.
"Those few were lucky enough to figure out how to fuse the eight Law and forcibly use the secret technique of spacetime to barely resist the erosion of the Soul Splitting."
It was all in vain. Soul Splitting was Soul Attack, and ordinary spacetime techniques weren't very effective against it. They probably wouldn't last long before losing themselves.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen said expressionlessly, in his eyes, eight King-level Immortal were no different from eight chickens.
"This secret realm is extremely unique. If you include the chaotic and distorted Space-Time Law in the Core Land, it actually possesses Ten Great Laws."
Furthermore, the Eight Great Fundamental Laws in the outer area are clearly distinct, seemingly intended to allow powerful individuals who enter this place to specialize in one of the Law, but in reality, it can also be seen as a way to enable them to cultivate other fundamental Law as well.
"That's right. Not only is there a special relationship between the fundamental Law and the Space-Time Law, but the Eight Great Fundamental Laws themselves also have a very mysterious connection."
The Eight Great Fundamental Laws can be practiced alone to achieve Immortal, while the Space-Time Law can be combined to become Universe Venerable.
"What would happen if one cultivated the eight basic Law and the Space-Time Law at the same time?" Zhang Junbao nodded, agreeing with the Demon Venerable Luanshen's view; he shared the same feeling.
"I never expected that you, junior brother, not only possess such a high level of mental cultivation, but also have such a unique understanding of the fundamental Law."
You're right. Simultaneously cultivating the Ten Great Laws, using the eight basic Law as a foundation, and deriving the Space-Time Law through integration, although it takes a long time and requires extremely high talent from the cultivator, once completed, the combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level.
"Didn't you question why I, a mere Soul Splitting cultivator, possess such overwhelming power comparable to an ordinary Universe Master? It's because I cultivate all Ten Great Laws simultaneously," the Demon Venerable Luanshen said confidently.
"What? Senior Brother Luanshen, you also cultivate the Ten Great Laws simultaneously?" Zhang Junbao looked at Demon Venerable Luanshen in surprise. Although he knew that Demon Venerable Luanshen was exceptionally strong, he never imagined that he would cultivate the Ten Great Laws simultaneously.
Special Lifeform in the universe all possess their own Innate Secret Technique. Generally, these Innate Secret Technique have unique Law attributes, and Special Lifeform will choose the Law to cultivate based on their own Law attributes. Even a born Innate Beast God who is the Universe Master will have an attribute bias. For example, Gold Beast God would not choose to cultivate the Law of Fire or the Law of Water.
"That's right. Other Special Lifeform ' Innate Secret Technique all have a bias towards Law, but my Innate Secret Technique is Soul Secret Technique, which has no distinction of Law."
"Moreover, my teacher is a super strong being who has mastered the Ten Great Laws. As his disciple, I naturally must follow in his footsteps." The Demon Venerable Luanshen Lord nodded and said matter-of-factly.
The words of the Demon Venerable Luanshen stirred up a storm in Zhang Junbao's heart. The Chaos City Lord had said that those who once cultivated the Ten Great Laws were no longer there. So that's how it is.
The Original Ancestor was suppressed, and the Demon Venerable Luanshen, who inherited the Original Ancestor's path, also disappeared without a trace. Although the Chaos City Lord followed the path of Time-Space Fusion, it was still different from the path of fusion with the Ten Great Laws.
As a super-powerful being capable of suppressing the Original Universe and the Universe Ocean, the Original Ancestor must have fully analyzed the Ten Great Laws in order to be able to unleash the Strongest Secret Technique, the Virtual Universe, if he wanted to seize the Universe Origin.
In the Virtual Universe, even the secret techniques of the Universe Master can be simulated. A powerful cultivator of any Law can reproduce their own secret techniques in the Virtual Universe. No one would believe that the Original Ancestor did not have a complete grasp of the Ten Great Laws.
"I also cultivate the path of the fusion of the Ten Great Laws. I once bought a book called ' Detailed Explanation of the Ten Great Laws ' from the Virtual Universe Company. It contains my insights into the Ten Great Laws. Are you aware of it, senior brother?"
The Demon Venerable Luanshen was silent for a while before saying, "That was something I did on a whim. Originally, I wanted to find a suitable successor for my teacher's path."
At that time, I made up my mind to find a way to save my teacher myself, so I left behind a secret manual, and there will be a continuous stream of successors in our lineage.
I never imagined that after waiting all these years, the person I would finally meet would be you, my junior brother.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen looked at Zhang Junbao, his eyes filled with surprise and satisfaction.
At the Domain Lord Level, one can awaken their own consciousness through his Soul Splitting Secret Technique, and their mental cultivation is even more terrifying. Even after being impacted by the memories of countless powerful souls, they can still maintain their inner purity and adhere to their own path. This is originally an ability that a top-tier expert should possess, and Zhang Junbao, at the Domain Lord Level alone, already possesses the heart of a powerful being.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen now understands why the Original Ancestor chose Zhang Junbao as his successor.
"A practitioner who integrates the same Ten Great Laws as your teacher—is this your choice, teacher?"
My junior brother is outstanding. I see your shadow in him. Perhaps the hope of our lineage will rest on his shoulders.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen looked at Zhang Junbao and smiled. In his eyes, the shadows of the Original Ancestor and Zhang Junbao were gradually merging.
As for the Chaos City Lord, although he was also a disciple of the Original Ancestor, the Demon Venerable Luanshen was so stubborn that he did not believe that the Chaos City Lord was of the same lineage as himself.
They haven't even cultivated the fusion of the Ten Great Laws like their teacher, yet they dare to claim they're from the same lineage? This is probably one of the reasons why the Demon Venerable Luanshen dislikes the Chaos City Lord.
"So, the remnant soul I encountered in the Ganwu Universe Country Secret Realm was you, Senior Brother Luanshen, and the first manual I bought from the Virtual Universe Company was also written by you, Senior Brother. We really are kindred spirits!" Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
He had actually been in contact with the Demon Venerable Luanshen for a long time, but neither of them knew it.
"Hahaha, so it seems we're destined to be fellow disciples!" The Demon Venerable Luanshen was very satisfied with his junior brother Zhang Junbao. There was always a special quality about him that attracted people to follow him, just like their Original Ancestor master.
"Enough with the nonsense, Senior Brother. Watch as I retrieve the Heart of Time and Space to awaken your full consciousness!"
"Alright, I'll leave everything to you, Junbao!"
After saying that, Zhang Junbao flew out of the Void Whale Spaceship and headed towards the Heart of Time and Space, which was enveloped by countless illusory faces, without looking back.
"Waaah"
Those ethereal faces, sensing the arrival of other life forms, gathered together, yearning for outsiders and anyone who could answer their questions about the Law.
What exactly is spacetime?
"How to merge space and time..."
Seeing countless illusory faces closing in, Zhang Junbao instantly activated his Triple Domain: the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword, the Space-Time Domain, and the Reverse Eight Trigrams Array Formation, all stacked together to form a space-time barrier around his body, blocking the incoming illusory faces.
" Senior Brother Luanshen's Innate Secret Technique is truly terrifying. Such a massive number of Soul Splitting, and this is only the result of his instinctive use. Without his own conscious control, this secret technique probably wouldn't even be able to unleash one-tenth of its power."
Even so, some powerful individuals with weaker mental cultivation would likely perish instantly in his presence.
Zhang Junbao felt as if he had entered the deepest hell, surrounded by Soul Splitting filled with obsession, like wronged spirits, their eyes filled with desire and greed.
"My soul has been tempered, and with the cultivation of Senior Brother Luanshen's Soul Secret Technique ' Divine Transformation,' my Mental Power Amplitude has now reached over 4800, comparable to the strength of an ordinary Universe Venerable. Ordinary soul memories can be completely ignored; only a Soul Splitting that has fused with the souls of multiple powerful beings is worth paying attention to."
Zhang Junbao was extremely fast. The Soul Splitting had no physical form; as long as Zhang Junbao could withstand the Soul Splitting's attacks, he could proceed unimpeded.
However, he is still only on the outskirts, and most of his fragments are scattered Soul Splitting. There has been no terrifying existence like the giant face that fused multiple Soul Splitting before.
However, as he approached the Heart of Time and Space, the Soul Splitting he encountered became increasingly powerful. Many of these Soul Splitting possessed extremely strong obsessions and had also devoured the souls of many powerful individuals, gaining profound Law Comprehension.
If Soul Splitting hadn't been submerged in his own consciousness and hadn't been unable to actively use secret techniques to attack, relying solely on instinct to continuously merge souls, he would have been blasted into dust before Zhang Junbao even got close.
Even though it was only a Soul Splitting, the secret technique unleashed by the Soul Splitting of the Demon Venerable Luanshen, a peak-level Universe Venerable, was something that Zhang Junbao, Domain Lord Level, could not withstand.
At this moment Demon Venerable Luanshen is in the outer region, 100 million kilometers away from the Core Land, slowly devouring those scattered Soul Splitting. With each Soul Splitting he merges with, his strength increases. When all the Soul Splitting merge into one, the Demon Venerable Luanshen's original consciousness will be fully restored.
However, now that his Soul Splitting has finally regained consciousness, he dares not rashly merge with other massive Soul Splitting Soul Splitting. If he is not careful, his consciousness will be lost again. At that time, Zhang Junbao will probably have to face an even larger and more complete Demon Venerable Luanshen.
Once a certain consciousness takes control of the rift and can use secret techniques, Zhang Junbao will be in constant danger of being blasted to death.
Therefore, the Soul Splitting of the Demon Venerable Luanshen ruins, which regained consciousness, could only hide far away and devour the scattered Soul Splitting.
Zhang Junbao covered his body with his Space-Time Domain. He could feel that not only was the density of the Soul Splitting increasing, but the surrounding spacetime was also becoming more and more chaotic.
Even without the erosion of countless Soul Splitting, this chaotic spacetime alone is enough to pose a tremendous threat.
" Reverse Eight Trigrams Array and suppress!"
This is when the Reverse Eight Trigrams Array shows its power. Even the most chaotic spacetime is essentially created by the Space-Time Law. The chaotic Space-Time Law within the range of the Reverse Eight Trigrams Array Formation are gradually smoothed out, transforming into Eight Great Fundamental Laws.
Zhang Junbao's body transformed into a flash of light, constantly weaving through it.
Suddenly, he felt a dangerous aura erupt from the bottom of his heart, and a terrifying sense of crisis rushed from the soles of his feet to the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head. Zhang Junbao quickly struck out with his palm, changing the shape of the space in front of him and forcibly changing the position of his body.
