Best novel online free at LatestNovel.Net or NovelTeam.Net

What was happening was absolutely shocking. The white flame has always protected Yan Zaizen lifeforce, especially when he was practicing the Immortal Herculean Method. At that time, he should've died several times over, but the white flame kept a tinge of his lifeforce alive and helped it grow. This is what enabled him to develop his Herculean Physique.

”How did you…? How am I…?” He looked at his physical body that was just as perfect as new, and even the ripping force of space didn't affect him much. He looked towards an orb of complete blackness.

Siphoning Shadow of Death?!

It was viciously siphoning the chaotic space in the vicinity, trying to resist the white flames dominance, but the white flame only grew more powerful as a result. One could feel a deep sense of competitive unwillingness coming from it.

”Do...laws have sentience?” This was his first thought after seeing these events. It was like his two concepts were alive, and in truth, laws were not dead. They truly had their own thoughts and intentions, but typically restricted to the concept itself. If they didn't, how could they grow? How could they return back to their beginning? They needed the ability to search, and with the support of cultivators, they have the potential to do so until they become one with their originators or evolve into something independent.

They may not be considered truly alive, but they certainly were not dead.

He gulped at this discovery. He felt like intent could develop something similar to this, especially when he felt his own dao formulating. It was a sort of intent, but one that originated from himself. Perhaps his current developing dao was just a concept trying to become a law. His eyes were filled with the wonders of the world and how great it was.

If his dao became a law, could others comprehend it? Could they develop conceptual laws? This…

There was definitely a difference between a dao and a law, one felt internal while the other felt external.

He decided to put all of these thoughts into the back of his mind. Right now, he needed to figure out a way to escape while he had the chance. ”How can I escape?!” He tried using his spiritual sense, but he found an odd discovery.

His soul form was inactive!!

It seemed to have been put into a hibernation state, and albeit he could think, and use a little of his spiritual sense, he couldn't use any of his soul energy. It was odd. The black dot on its forehead was still normal, but he could tell it was likely undergoing some unknown transformation. He wasn't knowledgeable enough to know what was happening, so he decisively decided to try to find another way.

Looking around, all he saw was black darkness. He assumed space was silver, like the light from the formation, but instead, it was completely black with no sign of anything. ”Perhaps...this is what chaotic space was? So much chaos that nothing can exist within it, only space itself.” He came to this conclusion, but that didn't help him.

Wait.

Shit!

He tried accessing his Meteor Ring, but without soul energy, he couldn't take anything in or out of it. This left him feeling helpless. If he took out an essence crystal or two, he would have more time to think. He regretted not thinking of doing so earlier.

Wait.

Think.

He looked towards the chaotic space. After which, he looked at the white flame and black orb that were competing fiercely. His next idea exploded like a bout of madness. What if he comprehended the laws of space! If he could develop a conceptual law of space then perhaps he could use it to open space and exit. If he couldn't, then it's likely he'll never be able to escape under these circumstances.

”Okay Zai, you have this. You've comprehended two world laws already, what's a third?” He said, trying to comfort himself. He knew that space laws were incredible and to gain comprehension towards it would be as difficult as life or death. Luckily, he had the chaotic space around him to help.

Comprehending the laws and developing a concept required communication and spiritual opening. When he conceptualized his two current laws, he felt his every existence enter the vast world of laws and grab the one most suited for himself at the time. Firstly, it was the white flame. Secondly, it was a black orb.
