Creating Heavenly Laws

Nine-story Black Tower.

First floor.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared.

The surroundings were incredibly spacious, with only the black staircase in the center standing out.

Lin Yuan understood that only by reaching that black staircase could he be considered to have passed the first floor of the Black Tower.

Following the black staircase, one could also enter the second floor of the Black Tower.

Buzz.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan strode towards the black staircase in the center.

The next moment, a heavy pressure enveloped him from all directions.

Lin Yuan felt his mental will start to collapse; the intangible and immaterial pressure almost tore him apart.

"Right now, I don't have a physical body or even soul power. To withstand the pressure, I can only rely on law comprehension or cosmic power."

Lin Yuan thought to himself as he tried to operate the spatial laws, compressing the space around him, but unfortunately, Lin Yuan's comprehension of the spatial laws was limited, and the intangible pressure soon penetrated through space, descending upon him once again.

"No wonder Senior Shen Ji said that at least complete mastery of spatial laws is required to pass the first floor."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, realizing that only with complete mastery of space could one stretch and shorten the length of space at will, making it difficult for any external attack to land on oneself.

"An eighth-Rank life form trying to pass the first floor is too difficult." Outside the nine-story Black Tower, a humanoid statue watched Lin Yuan's every move inside the tower.

"Master initially set the requirement that those at the peak of the eighth Rank can enter here to train."

"But out of tens of thousands or even millions of eighth-Rank peaks, perhaps only one might pass the first floor."

The humanoid statue Shen Ji thought to himself. When Lin Yuan operated the spatial laws, he knew that the other party had not mastered the complete spatial laws.

Under such circumstances, the probability of passing the first floor of the Black Tower decreased again.

"Hmm?"

"Cosmic power? This little guy indeed mastered a type of cosmic power."

The humanoid statue Shen Ji watched with great interest, "This cosmic power, Yin and Yang merging into one, is advanced cosmic power? And it has been cultivated to the third realm?"

"Interesting, but just relying on these, it's still very difficult to pass the first floor."

The humanoid statue Shen Ji speculated, but at this moment, his interest was already piqued. Having mastered an advanced cosmic power cultivated to the third realm, Lin Yuan could at least hold out on the first floor for a long time.

First floor of the Black Tower.

Lin Yuan noticed that the spatial laws could not block the heavy pressure enveloping him.

Without hesitation, he activated the power of Tai Chi.

The black and white Yin-Yang Tai Chi power formed a barrier on his body surface, blocking all the pressure outside.

"Finally stabilized."

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid he couldn't even pass the first floor.

Although with the Devil Jade Mark, Lin Yuan had unlimited chances to try again.

But if he couldn't pass the first floor at the beginning, the difficulty of the subsequent floors could be imagined.

"The training in the Black Tower relies only on oneself. Either master complete spatial laws or other pillar laws, or master powerful enough cosmic power."

Lin Yuan concluded.

What he didn't know was that there was a third way, which was to use external power.

Some special treasures could be brought into the mind, but the Devil Jade Tower's master disliked relying on external power during training, specifically having the humanoid statue Shen Ji supervise the training process.

Lin Yuan continued walking towards the black staircase in the center.

As he approached the target, the pressure enveloping him grew heavier.

But Lin Yuan could barely resist it with the power of Tai Chi.

Until—

Whoosh.

The intangible pressure almost solidified, forming terrifying creatures that charged at Lin Yuan, eventually crashing into the Tai Chi barrier and turning into dust.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan frowned.

As a terrifying creature collided with the Tai Chi barrier, he clearly felt the barrier shake.

"This won't work."

Lin Yuan realized that he couldn't let those terrifying creatures touch the Tai Chi barrier.

"Limitless power."

"And the power of destruction."

Lin Yuan used four or five kinds of advanced cosmic power in succession, actively hunting those terrifying creatures formed by the intangible pressure.

Rumble.

The vast limitless power spread around, and the power of destruction began to cleanse.

During this time, Lin Yuan interspersed the use of other cosmic powers, occasionally using dozens of ordinary cosmic powers.

"This is much easier." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. The combination of various cosmic powers often produced greater effects.

The Immortal King Lingxu of the spirit realm had only comprehended one advanced creation power and six ordinary creation powers, but the latter, when combined, was no less effective than the advanced creation power.

Lin Yuan mastered more ordinary cosmic powers, and their combination was even more perfect. Along the way, he almost crushed his way to the black staircase in the center.

"Senior Shen Ji said that the faster you pass the first floor, the richer the rewards."

Lin Yuan quickened his pace. The intangible pressure around him grew heavier, and more and more illusory creatures condensed, but under the sweeping cooperation of the active cosmic powers, Lin Yuan didn't even stop his steps.

Soon.

When he was a hundred meters away from the black staircase in the center.

A nearly substantial black eight-legged creature condensed, and its terrifying aura covered the sky.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan finally stopped his steps.

He felt a faint threat from the black eight-legged creature.

"Quick battle, no holding back."

Lin Yuan didn't want to waste time on the black eight-legged creature and just wanted to pass the first floor quickly to see what rewards there would be.

So he went all out without hesitation.

Rumble.

Dozens of cosmic powers mixed.

Among them, a trace of cosmic power was incredibly profound, vaguely exuding a primordial aura, which was the primordial power that surpassed advanced cosmic power.

In the spirit realm, for over nine hundred years, if it weren't for the help of the primordial stone that fell from the Ninth Heaven, even with Unrivaled Insight, it would have been difficult for Lin Yuan to comprehend this mysterious power that surpassed advanced cosmic power.

The first realm of primordial power, its might almost surpassed the third realm of advanced cosmic power.

Whoosh.

The nearly substantial black eight-legged creature, in its last moment of life, let out a furious roar, and then under the crushing of various cosmic powers, turned into dust.

"Quickly go."

Lin Yuan continued to stride towards the black staircase in the center.

The first floor of the Black Tower had spatial restrictions, making teleportation or space compression impossible, and even flying was not feasible. Lin Yuan could only walk to reach the target.

"There shouldn't be any more blocking creatures, right?" Lin Yuan kept walking, but he was a bit worried.

Now, he had revealed all his cards, even using primordial power. At least in terms of mental will, he had no stronger means.

In fact, thinking carefully, there was still one.

That was the physical divine ability 'enhancement'.

Once Lin Yuan activated this divine ability, his physical body, soul, mental will, and everything else would be enhanced tenfold.

At this moment, even with only mental will, it would be enhanced by 'enhancement'.

But this divine ability was a last-resort card, and after using it, there would be a short period of weakness. Lin Yuan wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

Outside the nine-story Black Tower.

The humanoid statue Shen Ji, who had been watching Lin Yuan's training with great interest, had fallen silent at some point.

He watched Lin Yuan, who was charging towards the black staircase in the center like a hot knife through butter, and his just-awakened brain turned into mush again.

What did he see? An eighth-Rank life form charging through the training of the tower?

This was unbelievable to the humanoid statue Shen Ji. He had guarded the nine-story Black Tower for countless years, witnessing the most brilliant geniuses during the peak of the Devil Jade Tower.

But even the strongest geniuses in the eighth-Rank life form, when trying to pass the first floor of the Black Tower, had to be extremely cautious and progress slowly.

Even those who mastered complete spatial laws were no exception.

As for 'charging'? Indeed.

The faster one passed the training, the richer the rewards.

The humanoid statue Shen Ji would inform each trainee.

But it was just a notification.

It was like saying 'If you work hard, you might become the strongest one someday.'

Just words of encouragement.

Passing the first floor as an eighth-Rank life form was already very difficult.

Who cared about 'speed'?

"One cosmic power, two cosmic powers, three cosmic powers..."

The humanoid statue Shen Ji was numb from counting. The cosmic powers that Lin Yuan used fell into his eyes one by one.

But the more he saw, the more shocked he was.

Where had there ever been an eighth-Rank life form that mastered dozens of cosmic powers at the same time? Was this even reasonable?

Was this still an eighth-Rank life form?

The humanoid statue Shen Ji fell into self-doubt.

He even speculated whether some earth-shattering changes had occurred in the outside world while he was asleep, making the comprehension of cosmic power easier?

But no matter how much easier, it was still cosmic power!

"Hmm?"

"That cosmic power?"

The humanoid statue Shen Ji's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes fixed on a certain floating cosmic power.

This cosmic power exuded a primordial aura, precisely the primordial power.

"Advanced cosmic power? No, this is not advanced cosmic power!" The humanoid statue Shen Ji was stunned.

Cosmic power is divided into two types.

One is ordinary cosmic power.

The other is advanced cosmic power.

In fact, even within ordinary cosmic powers and advanced cosmic powers, there are strengths and weaknesses.

Some ordinary and advanced cosmic powers are simply stronger than others of the same level.

But the difference is limited.

Now, the primordial power that the humanoid statue was watching was fundamentally above all advanced cosmic powers.

"Primordial cosmic power, this is Primordial cosmic power."

The humanoid statue Shen Ji's mind was blank.

Primordial cosmic power is legendary for eighth-Rank life forms.

Eighth-Rank life forms might comprehend cosmic power, but it generally referred to ordinary or advanced cosmic power.

Even advanced cosmic power is rare.

As for an eighth-Rank life form comprehending Primordial cosmic power, even though the humanoid statue had followed the Devil Jade Tower's master, he had only heard of it.

Such a monstrous talent, even in the peak period of the Devil Jade Tower, would immediately be taken as a personal disciple by the master and cultivated with utmost effort.

But Lin Yuan not only did it, but also comprehended dozens of other cosmic powers, including more than ten advanced cosmic powers.

"Master, if only you had disappeared later..." The humanoid statue Shen Ji trembled inside. A being who comprehended Primordial power at the eighth-Rank life form, with a bit of cultivation, would probably be able to dominate a region in less than a million years.

First floor of the Black Tower.

The worries Lin Yuan had didn't happen.

After crushing the black eight-legged creature, there were no more substantial obstacles.

Lin Yuan easily arrived at the central staircase.

Whoosh.

The humanoid statue Shen Ji appeared there.

He stared straight at Lin Yuan as if looking at a rare treasure.

"Senior Shen Ji," Lin Yuan tentatively asked, "Did I pass the first floor quickly?"

Knowing that the faster one passed the tower, the richer the rewards, Lin Yuan had almost given his all just now.

Except for the physical divine ability 'enhancement,' he had gone all out.

"Quick?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji fell silent again.

This wasn't just quick; among eighth-Rank life forms, Lin Yuan's speed on the first floor was indisputably the fastest, with a gap as vast as the sky between him and the second.

"Very fast."

The humanoid statue Shen Ji took a deep breath, calming his inner shock.

"That's good."

Lin Yuan felt relieved. Going all out, he believed no eighth-Rank powerhouse in the main world universe could match him.

But the Devil Jade Tower wasn't a force of the main world but came from outside the universe, so Lin Yuan was still humble.

"With your potential, you can choose three rewards from all the rewards on the first floor." The humanoid statue Shen Ji said.

Normally, passing the first floor of the Black Tower would grant one treasure, with the value determined by the speed and potential shown.

Lin Yuan's mastery of Primordial cosmic power, along with over ten advanced cosmic powers and dozens of ordinary cosmic powers, far exceeded Shen Ji's limits.

So he simply listed all the treasures on the first floor for Lin Yuan to choose from, increasing the quantity from one to three.

This was the maximum authority Shen Ji had.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan was expectant.

"But before choosing the treasures, there's one more process." The humanoid statue took out a black mirror.

"This mirror can sense the traces of time and roughly estimate your true age."

The humanoid statue said.

This was also a measure of potential. The same passing speed, the younger the age, the higher the potential.

"But don't worry, it's just a formality. With your mastery of cosmic power, even if you're five million years old, it won't affect the final rewards."

The humanoid statue said.

The lifespan limit for eighth-Rank life forms is five million years.

This five million years is the maximum lifespan after all kinds of life-extending methods.

Ordinary eighth-Rank life forms would live about a million years before reaching the end of their life.

What Shen Ji meant was that no matter how old Lin Yuan was, just mastering Primordial cosmic power was enough to overlook everything else.

After speaking, the humanoid statue activated the black mirror.

Immediately, a hazy light enveloped Lin Yuan, and some ancient characters appeared on the mirror.

The humanoid statue glanced casually, to him, determining Lin Yuan's age was meaningless.

If it weren't for the rules set by the Devil Jade Tower's master, he would have already listed the rewards for Lin Yuan to choose from.

While Shen Ji was thinking about which three rewards Lin Yuan would choose,

He glanced casually at the ancient characters on the black mirror.

In an instant, his expression froze again.

He carefully examined the characters on the mirror, then turned to Lin Yuan with disbelief.

"You're only two thousand years old? An eighth-Rank life form at two thousand years old? Comprehending dozens of cosmic powers at two thousand years old? Comprehending Primordial cosmic power at two thousand years old?"

The humanoid statue Shen Ji felt his understanding of the world collapsing.
