Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 258 Acknowledging the Origin of the Laws of Space
A 'surrounding star cluster' composed of countless floating continents, deep within a mountain range on one of the continents.

Below the 10,000-kilometer waterfall lies the bottom of a vast, unfathomable pool.

In the vast expanse of a hundred kilometers, two treasures exuding a profound and mysterious aura floated in the air.

With his blood-red hair flowing down his shoulders, Minghai sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused his mind on the two treasures, trying to comprehend and carefully study the mysterious laws and runes within them.

The treasure on the left is a dull, silver-gray ancient battle armor.

On the right is a pair of boots with a unique design, interwoven with gold and silver, covered with layers of exquisite patterns, each pattern exuding a profound and mysterious aura.

'Shadow Armor' and 'Swift Boots'!
Three years have passed since the Lord of Ice Peaks last appeared in the arcane space.

For the past three years, Minghai has maintained this posture, focusing on comprehending the laws and secret patterns inside the 'Shadow Armor' and 'Swift Boots'.

The law patterns inside the treasure are all manifestations of the fusion of laws. The aura of the laws is profound and mysterious, and it is difficult to comprehend. Even the Nether Sea finds it extremely difficult to understand.

After three whole years of trying to comprehend it, Minghai still couldn't get the hang of it.

In fact, Minghai did not truly comprehend these laws and secret patterns.

After all, he didn't understand the laws of fusion. Without a foundation in cultivating the laws of fusion, it was impossible for him to comprehend the profound mysteries of these runes.

Therefore, for the past three years, Minghai has only used his mind to cover the area, merging his own understanding of the laws with these law runes, allowing them to reflect each other, and gaining inspiration by drawing on the aura of these law runes.

It has to be said that Minghai's cultivation talent is too strong, given his perfect compatibility with the laws of the universe and his comprehension at the level of "one in a hundred billion yuan".

Just from this fusion of energy, he had a special feeling that he couldn't quite put into words.

As time goes by, this feeling becomes deeper and clearer.

Minghai, who had been sitting in meditation for three years, suddenly opened his eyes.

"I see!"

Minghai opened his eyes, his mind still immersed in the profound and complex mysteries of the laws and patterns. He slowly traced his fingers in the air, then smiled.

A wisp of consciousness separated, logged into the virtual universe, and was teleported to the secret space.

'Roar'

A monster, eight hundred meters tall, covered in hard scales and with two horns on its head, roared to the sky and pounced on the Nether Sea that had appeared in the secret space.

The 501st enemy.

After defeating the 500th enemy and verifying that he had indeed created a top-tier secret technique, this is the first time that Minghai has challenged the secret technique space.

brush!
In a fleeting glance, a flash of sword light appeared, and the enormous monster was cleaved in two, dying instantly. Its corpse turned into specks of light and slowly disappeared.

'Roar'

Another monster appeared, roaring as it lunged at the Nether Sea.

brush!
A flash of sword light, and death.

The 503th enemy, the 504st enemy, the 505nd enemy...

The 600th enemy, the 601st enemy, the 602nd enemy...

Sweep all the way.

Finally, when facing the 612th enemy, Minghai was no match for him and was torn apart and killed by the giant hooves.

"hehe!"

After re-forming his body in the secret space, Minghai let out a long breath and then chuckled.

After three years of studying the 'Shadow Armor' and 'Swift Boots', he finally created the second top-tier secret technique, defeating more than a hundred enemies in one go.

"The laws and secret patterns on this treasure are indeed extremely compatible with my cultivation path!"

Recalling the past three years of arduous training, Minghai nodded in satisfaction.

If it weren't for the Lord of Ice Peak allowing him to comprehend the laws and secret patterns on the treasure, even if he had already created the first form and broken through the cultivation bottleneck, it would have taken at least twenty years to succeed in creating the second top-tier secret technique.

However, comprehending the secret runes of the supreme treasure's laws can be accomplished in three years!
Leaving the virtual universe, Minghai put away the 'Shadow Armor' and 'Swift Boots', took out the spatial origin treasure 'Ring of Space', and began to comprehend the laws of space.

With the breakthrough of the secret technique, the bottleneck in comprehending the laws has been broken, and one can once again freely improve the realm of comprehending the laws.

Ten days later, having reached his current limit in comprehending the laws, Minghai put away the 'Spatial Ring' and once again devoted himself to comprehending the law runes of the two supreme treasures, the 'Shadow Armor' and the 'Swift Boots'.

The unique and profound laws, along with the secret techniques that aligned perfectly with his own cultivation path, inspired Minghai frequently. Six years later, he created the third top-tier secret technique and defeated the 709th enemy in the secret technique space.

Thirteen years later, he created the fourth supreme secret technique and defeated the 802nd enemy in the secret technique space.

Thirty years later.

The space at the bottom of the deep pool.

After sitting cross-legged in meditation for decades, Minghai opened his eyes again, his eyes radiating a brilliant light, as dazzling as the sun in the night sky.

Rumble~~~
The space trembled slightly.

A drop of transparent water, faintly radiating a heart-palpitating aura, appeared out of thin air above.

Tick ​​tock!

Transparent water droplets fell directly onto the head and seeped into the body.

Shortly after, the mark between his brows, symbolizing the original recognition of the Law of Water, was replaced by a brand new star mark.

The fundamental law of space acknowledges this imprint!

At this moment, the Dark Sea received the recognition of the very source of the laws of space!
After creating the fifth top-level secret technique, his understanding of the laws increased dramatically, and he gained the recognition of the original source of the universe!

A soul-stirring call resonated deep within the depths of the underworld.

Subconsciously following this call, my consciousness arrived at a boundless ocean.

The origin of the universe!

An endless aura of laws permeated the area, and any one of them could easily suppress a cosmic venerable!
However, the consciousness of the Nether Sea, which had already gained the recognition of this ocean of laws, remained unaffected and easily merged into a single drop of water in the ocean.

Boom~~
The waves surged and rolled endlessly.

Consciousness merges into this drop of water, drifting with the ocean, as the endless laws of space come rushing towards it.

The origin of the spatial laws is profound and surging, more than billions of times stronger than the primordial energy within the 'Ring of Space'!
Immersed in the boundless origin of spatial laws, Minghai's understanding of the laws rapidly improved.

In an instant, it reached its current limit.

After gaining the recognition of the origin, consciousness comes into contact with the origin of the universe, and the speed of understanding the laws increases countless times faster than comprehending the 'Ring of Space'.

It seems like only a moment has passed, yet it also feels like millions of years have gone by.

'boom'

The mind leaves the origin of the universe and returns to the body.

"hehe!"

As his thoughts returned to the source of the universe, feeling the close connection between his mind and the origin of the universe, Minghai couldn't help but chuckle.

Having gained the recognition of the origin of the laws of space, even if he now advances to immortality, his efficiency in comprehending the laws of space is about the same as when he was a realm lord.

"Ok?"

After laughing, Minghai suddenly realized that he seemed to have mastered a special secret technique, a technique he naturally learned when his mind entered the place of origin.

blockade!

One of the three major branches of the laws of space!

"Unexpectedly, the first branch of spatial laws I comprehended wasn't teleportation, but rather sealing?"

Minghai was somewhat surprised.

His secret techniques have always emphasized movement and speed. In addition, compared to 'blockade' and 'strangulation', 'teleportation' is a relatively easy branch of spatial laws to master. Logically, 'teleportation' should have been the first technique he mastered.

But it doesn't matter.

The three branches of spatial laws—'teleportation,' 'blockade,' and 'strangulation'—are not ranked in any particular order. Mastering any one of them first is the same; they all represent gaining recognition from the origin of spatial laws.

"I wonder which level I'll be able to get to now!"

Muttering to himself, a wisp of consciousness separated from the Nether Sea and logged into the virtual universe.

Since creating the fourth top-level secret technique and defeating the 802nd enemy in the secret space, he has not entered the secret space for seventeen years.
