Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 485 - 478 Space Law

Once this kind of Space Fragment solidified by the pouring of space laws acquired spirituality, it would slowly form a Space Spirit.

The Space Fragment solidified in his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe was, in fact, a Space Spirit.

However, this Space Spirit was fragmented for some reason and locked deep within the Soul Devouring Ring.

It was only when he had refined the 107th Prohibition of the Soul Devouring Ring that the locked fragmented Space Fragment burst forth.

Because he was refining the World Ring, the fragments surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

Ding Huan was overjoyed. If it truly was a Space Spirit, then he had struck it rich.

The Space Spirit was nearly impossible to capture, but now, it was confined within Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, with nowhere to escape.

Ding Huan didn't lock up the Space Spirit. Instead, his Divine Will landed upon the Space Spirit.

That extreme sense of being simultaneously there and not there surged up once again, and Ding Huan quickly immersed himself in it.

Mysterious space laws were perceived by Ding Huan, which then merged as his own laws into the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe.

In that moment, the vast universe under Ding Huan's thoughts seemed as if it was within his grasp.

Simultaneously, the Tao Universe in Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness became even more vast and magnificent, with the starry sky growing clearer.

Beneath the starry sky, the Star System, Star Bridge, and Milky Way were distinctly visible, as if something indescribable had been added to them.

The space also gained a sense of hierarchy, no longer appearing as empty as before.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Ding Huan opened his eyes.

Although the space he was in spanned only four to five meters, with a wave of his hand, the soil four to five meters away was grasped in his hand.

He hadn't used Divine Will or Immortal Essence, yet he could do things that previously required Divine Will.

As his hand reached out, the space before him seemed to vanish.

No, it was rather like it was under his control; he felt he could compress that spatial distance.

So this is the Space Law...

Ding Huan took a deep breath, he had finally touched upon the second Law, the Space Law.

The Space Spirit Fragment had disappeared, but Ding Huan had gained a wealth of information.

This Space Spirit was not only intact but also possessed intelligence.

Originally, the Space Spirit was not like the various Space Fragments that Ding Huan had previously perceived; it was a true spiritual entity created from space laws over infinite years and opportunities.

More precisely, it was the spirit of treasures like the Soul Devouring Ring.

But its first owner, AI, was defeated in a great battle and sought to flee to a Boundary, only to be caught before tearing through the Boundary.

In desperation, AI used the Soul Devouring Ring to block an attack from his pursuer, leading to the Ring Spirit shattering into a handful of Space Fragments, with its spirituality gradually fading.

If it hadn't been locked within the 107th layer of prohibitions, the Space Spirit's spirituality might have disappeared long ago.

After countless years, this Soul Devouring Ring fell into the hands of a person known as Emperor Wukong...

Wait a minute...

Ding Huan suddenly remembered, wasn't Emperor Wukong one of the Four Great Emperors of the Immortal Court?

It turns out this Soul Devouring Ring was an item belonging to Emperor Wukong, one of the Four Great Emperors.

Everything gradually became clear; Emperor Wukong must have known that after refining the Soul Devouring Ring to the 107th prohibition, the terrifying spatial coldness released by the prohibition would devour everything.

To put it another way, the physical body would turn into nothingness, while the soul could merge into the Space Spirit's fragments and regenerate a new Space Spirit.

So, Emperor Wukong was looking for a Space Spirit?

This guy really was not a good bird.

If it weren't for his iron pot and Body Refining Techniques, Emperor Wukong would have succeeded.

Ding Huan's Divine Will landed on his Sea of Consciousness, and sure enough, within it were two marks of Divine Will.

These marks of Divine Will must have been left by Emperor Wukong.

Emperor Wukong had offered the Soul-Eating Realm Ring as a reward precisely because he was well aware that the Immortal Sect, sure to produce the first place winner, absolutely had the most top-tier genius disciple.

The likelihood was that the Soul-Eating Realm Ring would be granted as a reward to that genius disciple by the Immortal Sect.

If a cultivator, not even at the rank of an Immortal King, could refine the Soul-Eating Realm Ring up to the one-hundred-and-seventh Prohibition Patterns and manage to resurrect the Space Spirit.

Then they would undoubtedly be a genius among geniuses, and such a prodigy would be most fitting as the Ring Spirit.

It was certain that if after some time, the Soul-Eating Realm Ring had not been refined up to the one-hundred-and-seventh Prohibition Patterns, Emperor Wukong would definitely come to retrieve the ring.

Ding Huan sneered inwardly. Emperor Wukong still wanted to take back the Soul-Eating Realm Ring? Dream on.

He even knew why Emperor Wukong insisted on having the Ring Spirit of the Soul-Eating Realm Ring; without it, Emperor Wukong simply couldn't refine the one-hundred-and-eighth Prohibition.

That is to say, the Soul-Eating Realm Ring was useless in the hands of Emperor Wukong, as he couldn't refine the final prohibition.

Ding Huan slightly frowned. Currently, he didn't have the Ring Spirit of the Soul-Eating Realm Ring either.

If he also couldn't refine the one-hundred-and-eighth Prohibition, then the Soul-Eating Realm Ring would be just as useless in his possession.

No matter what, he had to give it a try first.

Thinking this, Ding Huan quickly stripped away the Mark of Divine Will that Emperor Wukong had left in his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe and set it aside.

It would be bad if Emperor Wukong couldn't sense his Mark of Divine Will and came chasing after him.

But how could he refine the one-hundred-and-eighth Prohibition?

After pondering for a while, Ding Huan slapped his own head. He wasn't Emperor Wukong. Just because Emperor Wukong couldn't refine it, didn't mean he couldn't.

In terms of Cultivation Techniques, what could be stronger than the Great Universe Technique across the vast universe?

The Great Universe Technique, which comprehends the All Things Principle, could refine the Soul-Eating Realm Ring given time. As long as he grasped the prohibitive laws within, he would be able to refine it.

Ding Huan knew that time was of the essence; he had to pick up the pace.

He immediately used the Great Universe Technique to bring the Soul-Eating Realm Ring into the Cycle, with his Divine Will landing upon the one-hundred-and-eighth Prohibition Pattern of the ring.

Complicated and vast Prohibition Patterns flooded in, overwhelming even Ding Huan's powerful Divine Will.

Various Space Laws intertwined within, and if it were an ordinary cultivator or even a Great Emperor, they might not be able to make sense of it.

Because the laws within the space were too chaotic and disordered—once you understood one Law, another that you could sense just a moment ago would have already disappeared.

Unlike other prohibitions, these Space Law prohibitions were chaotic and shifting.

Unless you had mastered the Space Laws.

Ding Huan chuckled coldly, "Emperor Wukong was too clever for his own good."

It seemed Emperor Wukong had encountered the Space Laws but not comprehensively enough.

If he could fully comprehend the Fragmented Laws of the Space Spirit, he estimated that he might just barely be able to refine the one-hundred-and-eighth Prohibition.

The reason it was 'barely' was because Emperor Wukong lacked the Great Universe Technique.

The Great Universe Technique was not only a supreme cultivation method; it also aided other Great Daos.

Refining was one of them.

With the first Prohibition Pattern of the one-hundred-and-eighth Prohibition captured by Ding Huan, the subsequent ones became increasingly simple.

Under the Circulation of the Great Universe Technique, Ding Huan locked in and refined one Law Prohibition after another, and he wouldn't miss any of the Space Laws in his comprehension.

It didn't matter if there wasn't enough Divine Will to go around; he had a Sea of Consciousness as vast as the universe.

Back in the Gray Sea when he had used his Divine Will to carve out a safe route, the continuous operation of his Divine Will had endured for a year.

Even though the current situation was more complex, his strength had also greatly increased.

A month later, the Soul-Eating Realm Ring in Ding Huan's hands became suddenly clear under his intent, and everything within the World Ring appeared precisely in Ding Huan's perception.

Endless various Space Laws crisscrossed within, and Ding Huan took a long breath.

He had completely refined the ring.

Because he had completely refined the World Ring, all of Emperor Wukong's marks within the ring clearly appeared under Ding Huan's Divine Will.

The Mark of Divine Will that he had previously found on the fragment of the Space Spirit was merely one ten-thousandth of Emperor Wukong's marks.

Emperor Wukong had attached his Mark of Divine Will to every single layer of the ring's prohibitions, and these did not disappear even with refining.

Impressive.

But no matter how impressive, they were about to become water for Mr. Huan's foot-washing.

Ding Huan took out an ordinary ring and attached all these prohibitions onto it.

After double-checking everything to ensure there were no mistakes, Ding Huan knew he could leave.

He now wore the Soul-Eating Realm Ring on his hand. Going out to slaughter Immortal Demon Beasts, all their souls would be devoured by the Soul-Eating Realm Ring.

The more souls the Soul-Eating Realm Ring devoured, the stronger its sense of the Boundary's Space would become. Maybe one day, he really could leave this universe with the help of this Soul-Eating Realm Ring.

He reached up and removed a pile of Prohibition Patterns and Array Patterns; he hadn't needed to use those.

Emerging from underground, Ding Huan landed on the surface, his Divine Will sweeping out.

Where his Divine Will traveled, demon qi soared, but he didn't see a single Human Tribe cultivator.

(Goodnight, fellow Daoists!)
