Chapter 510 Refining the Laws

"Cough... cough..."

Lu Ye spat out mouthfuls of blood, his aura fully suppressed, his body fracturing and regenerating over and over.

A single blow had shattered him completely.

Great Dao Realm!

Still, it was exhilarating. Lu Ye hadn’t felt the feeling of being overpowered in a long time.

So, it proved he still wasn’t strong enough!

He was at the Void Realm. Before, he could fight opponents two realms above him, but now, with his Primordial Power only able to exert 90% of its strength—barely over 70%—he had been reduced to this state.

The higher the realm, the wider the gap!

But the opponent must’ve been charging that strike too. It was to be expected.

An Yuaner trailed Lu Ye like a specter. That Great Dao Realm cultivator hadn’t even noticed her—or perhaps was completely unaware of her existence.

"Ding! Simulation complete!"

The system’s prompt rang out.

A surge of knowledge flooded Lu Ye’s mind. He was used to this by now and immediately began analyzing it.

Understood!

The moment a zombie was killed, the laws would briefly falter, letting him intercept and refine them.

But these were a Celestial Lord’s laws. Snatching them wouldn’t be easy.

Fortunately, Lu Ye’s Great Dao was formidable enough.

He could use YinYang Dao to create a closed loop, then grind them into something of his own.

Let’s try it!

Lu Ye had no intention of going back for revenge. He couldn’t win, and it wasn’t worth it.

They had just entered, and the guy probably hadn’t looted anything yet.

But Lu Ye had already memorized their aura. If they met again under circumstances where he could win, he’d make sure to end them.

Once his injuries healed, Lu Ye pulled out a map.

A map of the Eternal Ancient Kingdom, along with some books.

He quickly familiarized himself with the kingdom’s situation. The most-mentioned names were surely the richest.

Next target—Tianliang City!

Lu Ye’s figure vanished.

Soon, he encountered a zombie.

He struck and killed it.

Yin and Yang energies swirled, coalescing into a Taiji symbol. The zombie’s laws eventually fell into the diagram, and as it continuously transformed, the laws inside were ground to pieces.

The Taiji diagram was absorbed into Lu Ye's body.

The relentless cracking of bones filled the air.

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes in satisfaction as his physical body gained a marginal boost.

Though the improvement was minimal, that was only because Lu Ye's foundation was already formidable.

Moreover, this zombie was weak by comparison.

An Yuaner watched the scene, a chill running down her spine.

So this is Nine Lives?

With the strength of the Void Realm, he shattered and devoured the Celestial Lord's laws.

How did he do it?

No—who even comes up with a method like that?

She had actually been enemies with such a monster before. Whoever opposed him was simply asking for a death wish.

Fortunately, she had surrendered now.

An Yuaner let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding.

He was her ally, her master! Well, no worries then. The stronger Nine Lives was, the better.

She hoped he could shatter all the ancient parasites haunting her body, freeing her from their burden.

In the original Immortal Ancient Kingdom, Tianliang City cracked the top hundred cities.

As a faction with a Celestial Lord, an Emperor was a given, and there were likely a solid dozen Quasi-Emperors, easy. The number of Emperors could easily exceed ten, possibly even a hundred, let alone the swarms of Great Dao Realm cultivators.

Tianliang City had at least one Great Dao Realm expert guarding it—likely more.

As for whether there were any Emperors... who knew?

Hopefully not!

By the time Lu Ye arrived at Tianliang City, the roar of battle drowned the sky.

Over a thousand attackers were assaulting the city.

But Tianliang City had a population of over a million, and a tide of zombies poured forth, unflinching.

The battle had reached its peak of carnage.

The massive city, fortified by cosmic laws, was now battered to ruins.

The ground was a graveyard of severed limbs.

No Emperors? Thank the heavens!

Though there were no Emperors, eight Great Dao Realm titans were duking it out, quaking the world.

No questions asked, Lu Ye plunged into the slaughter and cut loose.

The interplay of yin and yang radiance swirled, imbuing his swordplay with yin-yang energy, akin to the Taiji Sword.

In truth, it was a simultaneous act of slaughter and absorption of principles.

The stone sword hummed.

This time, it could go all out—after all, these zombies had no blood!

Lu Ye slaughtered with such ferocity that many couldn’t help but glance his way repeatedly.

Damn, no wonder this guy seemed so terrifying—he was a born killer, reveling in the carnage. Though killing these zombies yielded no tangible benefit, just watching Lu Ye go wild showed how much he loved it.

Despite the zombies’ formidable strength, they had one big weakness—they weren’t too bright.

After a solid hour of fighting, the first Great Dao Realm zombie fell, and the others swiftly followed.

The battle ended.

In such a short span, Lu Ye’s body had toughened up by about 20%—the gains were insane.

The Great Dao Realm warriors paid no heed to these weaker zombies, storming into the city and going wild...
