Tilted Peak Realm.
The Inheritance Space within the Mirror King Tower.
While the other clones were out there venturing out to gain experience, the Nine Images Clone was diligently studying secret techniques.
The towering Nine Images Luo Ao sat cross-legged on the ground, and within his eyes, various strange phenomena such as wind, thunder, water, and fire were faintly displayed...
Various interpretations of the eight fundamental Laws seemed to flutter in his mind like countless butterflies flitting among flowers, beautiful and enchanting, and he could vaguely see strange beasts of different shapes wandering among them.
The first Sixth-Order Secret Technique he intended to create was based on the ' Eight Beast God Paths '. Because he himself possessed the Eight Beast God Hearts, Creation Secret Technique by combining the Eight Beast God Paths was actually simpler than directly combining the Eight Lower Laws.
At the same time, he was multitasking, also comprehending the guiding secrets in the Mirror King Inheritance.
Countless secret techniques flashed through his mind...
When the heart stirs, the eight free-spirited beast gods also change... moving with the heart...
The deeper he analyzed, the more profound mysteries he discovered about the Path of the Beast God...
A single Path of the Beast God is merely a basic prototype of the Fusion Law, but when the Eight Beast Gods are combined, they form a Heaven-Piercing path that points directly to the ' Chaos Law '!
This doesn't mean that the Path of the Beast God itself is of a high level. Rather, these Eight Beast God Paths are like eight basic 'puzzle pieces,' each corresponding to a product of the fusion of two of the Ten Origin Laws. As long as the puzzle pieces are combined cleverly, one can reach a much deeper level!
Not long ago, Luo Ao finally mastered the eight Fusion Law: 'metal, void', 'wood, void', 'water, void', etc.
It was only after he had truly mastered these eight 'puzzle pieces' that he discovered that even in a simple assembly process, he could glimpse the points of convergence when multiple Laws were integrated.
"Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult for a powerful individual to fuse more than three different Laws. However, if one simultaneously masters two Path of the Beast God, using the natural connection between the two different Path of the Beast God as a link, it becomes much easier to create a secret method to fuse three Laws."
To give a simple example, directly fusing the three Laws 'metal, wood, and void' might feel incredibly difficult, but if you have already mastered the Path of the Beast God 'Path of the Beast God metal and void' and 'wood and void' respectively, fusing the three laws of 'metal, wood, and void' will be much easier.
The reason for this is that the Eight Beast God Paths were originally one, but they were separated one by one when the beast gods were born in the Primal Universe.
"Even so, without possessing the Beast God Heart, it is still difficult to achieve anything." Although different types of beast gods are related, they also have their own 'personalities'.
Normally, a strong person can only 'awaken' one kind of Beast God Heart at most.
In the First Reincarnation Era Divine Eye Clan, there was a Universe Master named the ' Lord Wu Hun ' who followed the path of fusing the 'Five Great Beast Gods'. However, although he sensed the natural connection between the five Path of the Beast God, he only 'awakened' the Beast God Heart.
Without different ' Beast God Heart ' acting as mediums and intermediaries, even if one discovers the secret that the 'Five Great Beast Gods' are originally one, it will ultimately be like 'scratching an itch through a boot', making it difficult to truly comprehend the profound mysteries within.
"This cultivation path of transforming into an ' Ancient Demon God ' is actually mentioned in the Mirror King Inheritance. However, to completely 'transform' into Ancient Demon God, one also needs to comprehend the profound 'Heart of the Ancient Demon God.' The path of the Beast God is more suitable for me."
On the Origin Continent, there are also many unique creatures that are born with the Fusion Law, generally known as ' Ancient Demon God ', such as ' Desolation Demon God ', ' Nine Peaks God ', ' Golden Claw God ', and so on.
These creatures, individually, might be stronger than the Eight Beast Gods, since some were born with the fusion of three or more Laws. However, in terms of potential, Luo Ao felt that they were actually inferior to the combined path of the Eight Beast Gods.
"I had always thought of taking the path of fusing the ' Eight Beast Gods ' all at once, but I actually fell into a small misconception." In fact, according to common sense, he should have succeeded long ago, but at the moment when he had mastered the Eight Beast God Paths, he suddenly realized that he was missing something.
"Although the Eight Beast God Paths can be naturally integrated, they are still divided into two major categories."
The five spatial beast gods belong to one category, and they are also more closely connected with each other.
The three beast gods on the time side belong to another category, and they are also closely connected.
"Conversely, when the Path of the Beast God Space and Time are combined, the point of convergence becomes even more difficult to find." It's not that they can't be combined, but that the point of convergence is more elusive when the two categories are combined.
"Unless one successfully embarks on the path of combining 'time and space,' it is impossible to achieve complete mastery of the Eight Beast Gods..." He previously thought this path was the simplest, because a Starry Sky Behemoth Progenitor of the cosmos had already traversed it.
In reality, it is not so. Without finding the point of convergence in 'time and space', it is difficult to integrate the eight Path of the Beast God at once.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering before how the Progenitor Starry Sky Behemoth Beast could control the Eight Beast God Hearts at the same time. It turns out he didn't rely on that at all." Luo Ao's ability to control the Eight Beast God Hearts at once was aided by the Universe Origin Will, something that normal cultivators simply could not do.
The Progenitor the Starry Sky Behemoth did not use the ' Beast God Heart ' as a hub to connect the eight Path of the Beast God, but rather roughly integrated the Eight Beast God Paths by combining the points of convergence of 'time and space'.
This method requires considerable research into the Path of the Beast God and the combination of 'time and space,' and it is indeed not simple. Sure enough, none of those who can break through to Universe Supreme Master through their own efforts are simple people.
"My understanding of the combination of 'time and space' is only so-so, and there's no need for me to take such a difficult path from the start." The combination of time and space can certainly be successful; the Chaos City Lord the Human Race actually followed this path.
However, compared to the fusion of other Laws, the fusion of the two superior Laws is the most difficult. It is no wonder that even with the comprehension of the Chaos City Lord, he has been unable to break through to the level of the Universe Supreme Master.
"In that case, the most suitable path for me is undoubtedly the one that combines the Path of the Beast God." This is the path that the Lord Wu Hun of the Divine Eye Clan are walking.
Previously, Luo Ao had already created a secret technique based on the five great Path of the Beast God, which had already reached the level of the opponent's ' Five Beasts Great Annihilation '. Now, he only needed to deduce it to a deeper level.
This might be an impossible task for the Lord Wu Hun, but for Luo Ao, it was far from difficult.
While integrating the Path of the Beast God, he also cultivated the secret manual on the fusion of the ' Five Elements Laws ' in the Mirror King Inheritance.
The Path of the Beast God are all centered on the ' Space Laws ' and are directly integrated with the ' Five Elements Laws,' which are actually quite similar in principle.
One year in the outside world is a full 100,000 years in the Inheritance Space.
With continuous comprehension and evolution, the bodies of the Nine Images Clone also began to undergo different changes.
Sometimes it transforms into a giant unicorn lizard, sometimes into a winged bird entwined with vines, sometimes into a mysterious fox with nine tails, and sometimes into a fiery lion king covered in scales...
These five transformations also represent the five Innate Beast God born from the Primal Universe!
Luo Ao had already comprehended the Space Laws, and now he had completely mastered the Way of the Path of the Beast God. In addition, with the implicit connection between the five spatial Beast God Heart, he naturally and effortlessly integrated the five Path of the Beast God.
Different Path of the Beast God evolved within him, as if the five Innate Beast God from the early universe had been reborn.
Joy, happiness, anger, roaring, madness!
At this moment, Luo Ao perfectly captured the essence of the five beast gods.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a brand new beast emerged from the void, raising its head and uttering five sounds, some deep, some high-pitched, and some hoarse, all containing madness and joy!
This new beast has four thick hooves, three pairs of wings, and nine tails. It also has five heads: a bizarre head entwined with vines, and a dragon head surrounded by a proud and menacing unicorn lizard!
" Five Beasts Tread the Void!"
A strange beast with five heads, a strong lion-like body, four hooves, six wings, nine tails, and rolling magma on its body suddenly roamed freely in the universe. Its four hooves pounded the void, and each step could cause the void to shatter and emit a mournful cry!
This ferocious beast can be called the " Five Beast Gods "!
The paths of the ' Five Beast Gods ' and the Starry Sky Progenitor are not the same. If he so desired, he could even break through to become the Universe Supreme Master right now!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The roars of the Five Beast Gods rose and fell, yet there was a strange sense of harmony among them.
The Space Laws, the five lower Laws metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—the six major Laws— are perfectly combined!
If one were to follow the normal path of Fusion Law, how difficult would it be to fuse all six Laws at once? Yet, by using the Path of the Beast God, he succeeded in one fell swoop!
"Just as I thought, even with just a rough fusion, many more Profound Mysteries changes naturally arose within the Five Beast Gods..." If he were to delve deeper into the research, he might be able to make even greater progress.
However, the moment he created the " Five Beasts Tread the Void " move, he had already met the requirements for the first stage of the Mirror King Inheritance.
Within the Inheritance Space.
"Congratulations on becoming Black-Robed Disciple the Mirror King Lineage black robes!" A cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his ears. Luo Ao sensed something and turned to look into the distance. He saw a figure flying in from afar, but it was no longer the expressionless blue-armored knight from before.
This is a valiant general, dressed in silver armor with countless golden meteor-like rays, wearing magnificent boots and a helmet, exuding elegance and high spirits.
"Who are you?" Luo Ao was also wondering if this was the remaining memory image left behind by the Mirror King.
"I am merely a wisp of remnant spirit left behind here by His Majesty the Mirror King." The silver-armored warrior smiled slightly. "You may call me Yin Feng, or you may address me as Sect Master."
Sure enough, this silver-armored warrior was indeed related to the ' Mirror King '.
"Now that you have completed the first stage of the trial, you are qualified to become Black-Robed Disciple of the Mirror King Lineage. Follow me." Yin Feng pointed to the sky above, instantly creating an entrance to the upper level above the Inheritance Space. Luo Ao followed him, and the two flew up to the upper space one after the other.
We have just entered this space.
Luo Ao discovered that they had appeared in a world that was hundreds of millions of kilometers long and wide. At the very center of this world was a majestic mountain peak, and in other places there were rivers, lakes, flowers, trees, etc. Except for the lack of real life, it was no different from some life-bearing planets in the Primal Universe.
Of course, the most eye-catching feature is the three gates of light at the end of the world.
Different portals lead to different worlds.
From left to right, they are written with 'Treasures', 'Secret Transmission', and 'Void'. The meanings of the first two are obvious: one is for storing treasures, and the other is for storing inherited secret techniques. As for the last one, 'Void', Luo Ao could only guess at its purpose.
