Chapter 3366: Laws of Life

Jian Chen slowly drifted through the stone door excitedly.

The Heaven Fighting Ruler was still breaking through, but he did not wait for him. Instead, he left behind a spatial barrier to protect the Heaven Fighting Ruler and entered the stone door alone.

The seven newly-broken-through Chaotic Primes and the Jade Heaven Ruler followed closely behind Jian Chen.

In the blink of an eye, only the Heaven Fighting Ruler remained outside the stone door.

Stepping through the stone door, they seemed to enter an entirely different space. Their field of vision opened up and brightened.

All they saw was an idyllic world. A lush carpet of green covered the ground with birds twittering in the air. The entire world was filled with vitality, teeming with life and activity.

Whether it were the birds in the air or the venomous insects and vicious beasts lurking within the sea-like green, they were all extremely puny, ordinary existence.

They hunted one another, eating the weak to fill their bellies, before breeding through various methods.

In this place, who knew how many lives were lost with each day and who knew how many lives were created too.

They lived and died like this, following the cycle, on and on…

It was as if this brand-new world manifested the truth of the world in the simplest manner possible.

Jian Chen shut his eyes and stood where he was. With his powerful senses, he could clearly detect how the surroundings changed even without using the senses of his soul, but he immediately shuddered inside when he sensed the laws here under the special environment.

"This is the truth of life!" Jian Chen's heart shook. He could sense that behind the deaths and even births of every life here, there was a paramount truth.

This was a law, a way, an undeniable truth.

If this occurred in the outside world, it would seem ordinary with nothing special. The strong preying on the weak had always been a pattern of nature.

However, if he observed it through this world, it was vastly different. It became very easy to comprehend the laws of the world.

Suddenly, Jian Chen became extremely calm. He remained in a seated posture with his eyes shut, hovering in the air. His mind had already merged with the world, unable to help himself as he became engrossed in the comprehension of the Laws of life.

At that moment, he gained an entirely new understanding towards life. As this understanding deepened, it upheaved his previous beliefs regarding life.

Just as Jian Chen was engrossed in comprehending the Laws of Life, a faint layer of green light appeared around him. He seemed to have made contact with the ways of life, achieving resonance with the laws. A thin strand of the Laws of Life appeared in the world, like a bridge that connected heaven and hell, joining Jian Chen with the Laws of Life.

As he comprehended the Laws of Life, his Chaotic Body changed in subtle ways too. Energy filled with life appeared in his body, filling every cell in his body with vitality.

Of course, the energy of life was extremely puny. It was no different from an ant to an elephant when compared to his Chaotic Body.

However, after gaining this energy of life, the regeneration of his Chaotic Body seemed to increase slightly.

Only after three whole days did Jian Chen open his eyes again. At that moment, he had comprehended one additional law.

The Laws of Life.

Of course, he had only just made contact with the Laws of Life. His current comprehension was still very low, equivalent to recently reaching Godhood.

"The Laws of Life are tremendously helpful for healing." The moment he opened his eyes, Jian Chen immediately sensed the changes in his body. His eyes immediately twinkled.

His Chaotic Body had always regenerated very quickly. If he had the Laws of Life as well, that was basically overkill.

"But my comprehension of the Laws of Life is still very low right now. Given my current level, it won't have a particularly obvious effect on my Chaotic Body. If my Laws of Life ever reach the same height as the Chaotic Body, then that'll be when it really shines," Jian Chen thought before turning towards the others.

When he looked over, the seven new Chaotic Primes and the Jade Heaven Ruler opened their eyes as well. Their eyes all shone brightly, clearly having comprehended something from those three days.

"Hahaha, I've finally caught up with you. I'm not late, am I?" The Heaven Fighting Ruler's voice ran out. He had not managed to withdraw all of his presence yet. Having just broken through, he was in a hurry to catch up to them, so he did not have the time to consolidate his cultivation.

Afterwards, they continued onwards, but what they saw along the way left them very disappointed, as all the plants and creatures in this world were ordinary. They were the most basic of lifeforms. There was not even a single heavenly resource here.

Very soon, they arrived at the centre of this world. From afar, they discovered a small hill covered with grass and a wooden hut standing there quietly.

The wooden hut was extremely small. It was square and only three metres wide.

A series of figures faced the wooden hut at the bottom of the hill, maintaining kneeling positions as if they were petrified. They did not move at all.

Every single figure gave off a tremendous presence. There were so many of them that they reached into the hundreds.

And the closer to the front, the more terrifying their presences were. The invisible pressure was extremely startling, even leaving Jian Chen shocked.

"T-t-they're actually all our predecessors…"

The Jade Heaven Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler could not help but tremble when they saw the familiar figures at the end. Their expressions changed rapidly.

"Ancestor, it's actually the ancestor of our Yongxi clan. Ancestor, we've searched for you for countless years. We never thought… we never thought you'd actually be here…" Among the seven rulers, the ancestor of a peak clan suddenly became emotional and arrived behind one of the figures immediately.

However, as soon as he made contact, the figure turned to dust and dissipated in the wind.

That left everyone present stunned.

"Don't ever touch them. They perished a long time ago. Their bodies have eroded away, and they'll disperse from the slightest touch," Jian Chen said sternly.

He could tell with a single glance that these people were Chaotic Primes at the very least when they were still alive.

After reaching such a cultivation, even a droplet of blood could remain intact for millions or even tens of millions years.

Yet, their entire bodies had directly been eroded away by time, which was far too rare.

The expert from the Yongxi clan was stunned. He gazed at his ancestor who had turned to dust sorrowfully.

At this moment, the Jade Heaven Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler arrived behind a few figures. They gazed at the kneeling figures on the ground with extremely mixed emotion, afraid to touch them. They were even afraid to get too close to them.

"They are all seniors of our race, all supreme experts who once reigned over the Wood Spirits World, except they vanished afterwards for some reason. I never thought they'd actually all be here," the Jade Heaven Ruler murmured with mixed emotions.

She glanced past the figures before her and discovered that all the predecessors they could recognise only knelt in the last row of people.

In front of them were even more experts. The closer to the front, the stronger they were.

Most importantly, all of these people were Wood Spirits.
