Chapter 157: Deep Blue, Add Points!

【You arrived at the core region of the Law Secret Realm. Merely at its outer edge, you discovered quite a few Law Avatars comparable to Spirit Transformation Great Perfection.】

【After seeing you, these Law Avatars actually launched attacks on their own initiative! This was something that had not happened in any of the other locations!】

【“Interesting.” Facing the attacks of several Law Avatars comparable to Spirit Transformation Great Perfection, you felt no fear whatsoever. Law power surged in your hand as you met them head-on!】

【As you fought, you carefully comprehended these strands of law power, familiarizing yourself with them, understanding them, controlling them!】

【A week later, you grasped three more strands of law power!】

【You began to delve deeper into the core region. Law power at the level of Spirit Transformation Great Perfection could no longer satisfy you. You needed stronger law power!】

【“The Return-to-Void realm!” You discovered a Law Power Avatar at the Return-to-Void realm, and secretly lurked in hiding.】

【A day later, having found no other Law Power Avatars nearby, you decisively revealed yourself and clashed with the Return-to-Void Law Power Avatar!】

【Law power flooded the entire battlefield. Through this battle, your command of law power grew ever more proficient.】

【In order to raise your control over law power, you did not use your physical body’s strength in this fight. Instead, you clashed with it using only law power.】

【The greater part of the law power you commanded was comparable to Spirit Transformation strength. Only a small portion of law power, which you had comprehended quite deeply, had reached the Return-to-Void realm.】

【To raise all the law power you commanded to the Return-to-Void realm as quickly as possible, you began battling it with the law power you were least skilled in.】

【At first, you were beaten into a wretched rout. Without using other means, you were no match for it at all.】

【You absorbed the experience, ceaselessly perfecting your control over law power. Three days later, you could fight the Return-to-Void Law Power Avatar blow for blow.】

【A week later, you gradually seized the upper hand and began to press the attack.】

【Ten days later, as you unleashed a single strike, the Return-to-Void Law Power Avatar was blasted to death by you, dissolving into motes of starlight that sank into your body.】

【You grasped another strand of law power. Though it could not compare to the opponent’s peak state, it was not far off.】

【After summarizing your gains, you set out once more, seeking out isolated Return-to-Void law power.】

【You took up residence in this core region, battling law power all day long. The insights brought by these battles gave you abundant harvests.】

【In the first month, you grasped three more strands of law power comparable to the Return-to-Void realm!】

【By the third month, after successive battles, you had grasped six more strands of law power.】

【Half a year later, the law power you commanded had already reached eighty strands.】

【The more law power you grasped, the more you felt that comprehending new law power grew difficult, as if some kind of shackle were preventing you from continuing to comprehend new law power.】

【You could not find the reason, but your steps in comprehending law power did not halt.】

【A year later, the law power you commanded had reached eighty-five strands.】

【“Half a year, and I actually only grasped five strands of law power. It’s getting slower and slower!” Having grown accustomed to rapidly increasing your strength, suddenly slowing down left you somewhat unable to adapt.】

【In the second year, the law power you commanded reached eighty-six strands.】

【“A whole year of effort, and I actually only grasped one strand of law power. What on earth is going on?” You were deeply puzzled.】

【You pondered for a moment, then temporarily gave up on grasping new law power. Instead, you raised the law power you already commanded one by one.】

【In the fifth year since you entered the core region, all eighty-six strands of law power you commanded had reached the standard of the Return-to-Void realm.】

【Your entire cultivation stirred restlessly, as if you could break through to the Return-to-Void realm at any moment.】

【You were unwilling to accept it. You felt that eighty-six strands of law power was not your limit. You forcibly suppressed your cultivation that wanted to break through, and continued to comprehend law power.】

【“According to what Lan Shang said, in the history of the past ten thousand years, the cultivator who grasped the most law power at the Spirit Transformation stage grasped a full ninety strands!”】

【“The moment this person broke through to the Return-to-Void realm, he was directly hailed as invincible among his peers! And he could even fight early-stage Fusion realm cultivators for three hundred rounds without losing!”】

【“Though his final fate was somewhat miserable. He was stuck at the Fusion realm his entire life, never broke through, and died when his lifespan ran out.”】

【“This old man has cheats. If I’m going to do it, I’ll do it the best!”】

【“Deep Blue, add points!” An aura of refusal to concede erupted from within you. Your will was firm, resolved to reach the limit!】

【This time, you no longer fought one-on-one, but chose to fight a group alone!】

【You seized three isolated Return-to-Void Law Avatars and charged straight in!】

【Without using your physical body’s strength, fighting one against three was still too much for you. After holding out for just over three hundred rounds, you were forced to temporarily withdraw and recover.】

【Moments later, having fully absorbed the insights from the great battle, you threw yourself into combat once more.】

【The unceasing battles made your improvement extremely rapid. A year later, you grasped another strand of law power and raised it to the Return-to-Void realm.】

【Your foundation grew a bit more formidable. You did not grow complacent, and continued to fight.】

【Five years later, through your day-and-night bitter cultivation, you finally grasped a full ninety strands of law power! Reaching the pinnacle of the past ten thousand years of history.】

【You did not break through just yet, because you felt as though you could still improve further.】

【Just then, a tribulation cloud appeared beyond the heavens, sending down a powerful Lightning Tribulation.】

【You gazed into the distance. You knew someone had broken through to the Return-to-Void realm!】

【As the first tribulation cloud appeared, more and more tribulation clouds followed. Within the entire Law Secret Realm, more and more cultivators began breaking through to the Return-to-Void realm!】

【You knew the days of peace were numbered!】

【According to what Lan Shang said, you knew that before long, that group of cultivators who had broken through to the Return-to-Void realm would come flocking over.】

【Within the core region, the numerous powerful strands of law power were, to cultivators who had just broken through to the Return-to-Void realm, a great tonic.】

【To avoid being disturbed, you began delving deeper, seeking powerful Law Avatars to battle.】

【Your gaze began turning toward Law Avatars at the mid-stage Return-to-Void level!】

【“You… are quite good!”】

【Your heart violently trembled. You stared with disbelief at the Law Avatar you had beaten to the verge of dissipating.】

【“The Law Power Avatar… spoke?” This exceeded the scope of your understanding of law power.】

【“You are…” You halted your attack, looking at the Law Avatar that was gradually beginning to dissipate, and asked.】

【“A wisp of fragmented will, nothing more…” A smile appeared on the Law Avatar’s face, a trace of spirituality within its eyes.】
