Chapter 441: The Space-Time Great Way
"These prices..."
Fang Xing scanned the area, feeling a bit dumbfounded.
"Even the slightly higher-level heritages are priced at several dozen Pan Gu Tokens, and the lowest-grade Imperial Weapons are going for a hundred tokens... If we kill all the Emperor's Sons who enter the secret realm, it might just be enough."
"However, the Imperial Armaments are quite cheap, one token for one piece... but they're of no use to me."
Not to mention that his current body was almost comparable to an Imperial Armament, and even if it wasn't, after the Pan Gu Mystic Realm concludes, Fang Xing could go to the Blue and White Small World and claim his master's legacy...
'It seems that the Blue and White Master was indeed kind, actually leaving behind an Imperial Weapon for me... It's just a pity that I can only obtain it after reaching the Celestial Demon Emperor Realm.'
'Could her downfall be related to this Imperial Weapon?'
Fang Xing pondered for a moment, then exchanged it for a jar of Chaos Wine.
Clang! With a thought, the surrounding void suddenly flickered, and a wine jar appeared, floating in the air before landing on the ground.
"Is this a jar? Hmm... That's right, since everyone has different body sizes, our understanding of jars might differ..."
Fang Xing walked forward and sniffed, but he couldn't detect any wine aroma; it was sealed extremely well.
"Chaos Wine... Not only does it taste excellent enough to intoxicate Celestial Immortals, but it can also replenish Immortal Essence... In other words, it's the 'Soul Core Elixir' for Celestial Immortals... And there are other benefits as well."
"Let's take a jar of wine as insurance, and I'll have something to say when I meet the Heaven-Defying Great Sage after the secret realm ends."
As for the Imperial Weapons?
Obviously, he was just joking; Fang Xing wasn't that foolish!
"Then... the Heaven Arena?"
Fang Xing walked into the grand hall, and in an instant, he was teleported to a different place.
The sky was dim, and the ground was covered in scorching lava.
A flame demon stood up, "You're the next opponent of the great Geroeng... So small!"
Fang Xing couldn't help but feel speechless.
Who would've thought that his true form's combat power would be so high? He had to endure it for now.
"Remember my name—Flame Spirit 'Geroeng'. You will fall to my hands..."
Boom!
The lava demon stood tall and proud, with lava slowly flowing down its body like human meridians.
A terrifying flame world formed, reaching the level of Willborn Law!
But in the next instant, a black meteor flashed by.
'Geroeng' lowered his head in a daze, only to see a fist-sized hole in his chest.
Compared to his massive body, this hole was barely a needle prick, but 'Geroeng' could feel his life force rapidly draining away, "I... the great 'Geroeng', am I really going to lose here?"
His face showed disbelief as the lava on his body quickly cooled, and his massive body suddenly split into four pieces...
"Hmm, another Pan Gu Token, making it five now!"
Fang Xing nodded, "The strength of this flame spirit is probably around the powerful prince level in the ninth layer of the Soul Core Realm... In other words, if Ao Xin were here, she might not even make it past the first challenge, as her cultivation hasn't reached the ninth layer yet, and she'd be at a severe disadvantage against such an opponent..."
As for why princes at the ninth layer of the Soul Core Realm could wield the 'Willborn Law'?
It was because those demon princes, after condensing their soul cores, had greatly enhanced comprehension of laws, and most of them could push their understanding of laws to the fifth layer. The difference was only in the initial understanding and the level of proficiency or mastery.
If a demon prince hadn't comprehended the fifth layer of the law at the ninth layer of the Soul Core Realm, then they should be ashamed to commit suicide, as they wouldn't live up to the title of 'prince'!
But for demon emperors, at the ninth layer of the Soul Core Realm, they would also reach the fifth layer of law comprehension!
It could be said that before fully comprehending a single law, this was the best stage for countless geniuses to catch up to monstrous talents!
However, there were some monstrous talents who, despite not yet comprehending a single law, had found their own paths, possessing Celestial Immortal or Celestial Demon-level combat power. These were the 'Supreme Essence Sovereigns'!
"Even at the ninth layer of the Soul Core Realm, there's still a significant gap, and it might even be greater than the gap between the Mortal Realm and the eighth layer of the Soul Core Realm."
Fang Xing sighed, silently approaching the second hall.
This hall was located in a grassland, where a tall man in a sheepskin coat stood holding a saber, looking at Fang Xing, "A demon? I don't kill nameless demons with my saber... State your name!"
In response, a black meteor flew towards him.
Puff!
The meteor collided with the saber light, which was thick and fierce, carrying a flavor of the Earth Law.
Alas... it was still pierced through, followed by the sheepskin coat and the man's chest!
"I..."
He lowered his head, looking at the huge hole in his chest, "I... lost? But I've killed Emperors before..."
"Indeed, the combat power of a Soul Core Realm Emperor is... a bit difficult to defeat."
Fang Xing shook his head, looking at the two Pan Gu Tokens he had just obtained, a hint of solemnity in his dragon eyes.
There were differences even among Soul Core Realm Emperors.
For example, Empress Green was at the bottom of the hierarchy.
While the powerful ones, like the Sky Sovereign, had comprehended extremely formidable laws, and their combat power was enough to crush ordinary Emperors.
Fang Xing was already feeling a bit strained, "The enemy in the third hall is probably at the level of the Sky Sovereign, or even higher... But the rewards are also quite rich."
...
A moment later, outside the Heaven Arena.
A flash of light appeared.
A palm-sized black-winged Stone Dragon Son materialized, lying on the stone tablet.
"Impressive!"
"I barely managed to pass the Third Pavilion by trading injuries... But the opponent in the Fourth Pavilion is a little too strong."
"Fortunately, the trial in the Heaven Arena doesn't kill people..."
Fang Xing stuck out his tongue and looked at his Pan Gu Token, "Eleven Pan Gu Tokens?"
After passing the third pavilion, the reward doubled again.
The subsequent challenges were obviously even more daunting.
"I wonder how far those who have challenged in history have gone?"
Fang Xing looked at the inscription on the stele, and he had already figured it out.
The trial in the Heaven Arena is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.
Now that he had reached a bottleneck, he should calm down, enlighten himself on the Dao Tablet, and exchange various treasures to improve himself.
Then, he could go back to the challenge!
If he could make enough progress before the time limit was exhausted, and satisfy the Overseer in the Pan Gu Mystic Realm, he should be eligible to enter the Core Zone.
"Exchange the Dao Tablet for enlightenment!"
With a thought, Fang Xing connected with the stele.
After consuming a Pan Gu Token, he found that there were even more options.
【Please select the Dao Tablet to enlighten: Heaven and Earth Great Way, Space-Time Great Way, Slaughter Great Way, Chaos Great Way...】
"Different Daos indeed have their unique qualities."
Fang Xing glanced at the Heaven and Earth Great Way, which he originally favored. However, after his journey in the Blue and White Small Realm and refining the essence blood of the Flame Dragon, he had already achieved the Flame Dragon Essence Spirit. Continuing on the path of Heaven and Earth Great Way would be somewhat inappropriate.
As for the Slaughter Great Way, if the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace's Seven Slaughters Daoist were here, he would definitely spare no effort to enlighten it. However, it had nothing to do with Fang Xing.
"I choose... Space-Time Great Way!"
With a thought, Fang Xing made his choice.
At least, in the Qingyuan Great World, the Black Dragon's body followed the path of the Void and Time simultaneously.
Whoosh! A flash of light, and Fang Xing was teleported to a void.
In front of him, a towering stele instantly filled his entire field of vision, making him reluctant to shift his gaze even slightly.
"This is... the Space-Time Great Way? It's wonderful... It seems to encompass everything in the universe..."
Enlightening the Space-Time Great Way stele made Fang Xing feel as if he could see the past, present, and future... vast and grand, including countless Great Worlds and Cosmic Seas...
"Perfect!"
"Astonishing!"
"Flawless!"
Fang Xing couldn't help but exclaim, but then he felt a bit foolish, "...Such a perfect Dao, yet I don't know how to comprehend it?"
Compared to the Space-Time Great Way, the Void and Time Laws he had mastered were like insignificant specks of dust.
Even using these two laws as a foundation to enlighten the Space-Time Great Way had become an unrealistic wish!
"I need a breakthrough... otherwise, it's impossible to comprehend the Space-Time Great Way stele!"
Fang Xing's dragon face turned slightly pale, "The Dao is good, but I haven't fully understood even a single law... To comprehend the Dao is like trying to explain it to a madman..."
He realized that at this moment, enlightening the Space-Time Great Way stele was even more difficult than the Void Demon Tablet he had enlightened in the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace!
'But... the Heaven Arena doesn't have a lower-level stele to exchange.'
Fang Xing was speechless, yet he couldn't bear to give up, so he could only continue his enlightenment.
Unknowingly, several hours passed.
"Ah, in the Space-Time Great Way, time and space are perfectly integrated. To comprehend it... I must 'separate' them..."
"But I can't do that at my current level..."
"If this is the case for space and time, wouldn't it be even harder to understand the Heaven and Earth Great Way?"
Fang Xing suddenly felt a bit ridiculous.
Before the Dao, all beings are like ants!
"But... since the Dao Tablet is here, there must be a reason for it!"
"Many geniuses who underwent the trial must have been able to enlighten the Dao Tablet and gained many benefits!"
"The opportunity I need... could it be hidden in those heritages?"
Fang Xing thought of the heritages he had seen before.
Although each one was expensive, if he wanted to find something related to 'space-time fusion', there must be one among them.
That would be the key to enlightenment!
"But it's too expensive... Even if I split it up and only buy the first volume, it would almost deplete my Pan Gu Tokens..."
Fang Xing recalled the information he had checked earlier, and his expression turned grim, "However, to enter the Space-Time Great Way, it's worth spending any amount."
"It's just a pity... During today's enlightenment time limit, I can't go back to purchase it, but I can't waste this opportunity either."
He calmed down and devoted himself to enlightening the Space-Time Great Way stele.
Time passed, and the one-day time limit was approaching.
Fang Xing completely detached himself, cutting off all negative emotions like frustration and agitation. As he observed the vast Space-Time River from a holistic perspective, he felt it becoming more and more profound.
"The vast Space-Time River encompasses countless Cosmic Seas and Great Worlds... Those Great Worlds are no less magnificent than the Qingyuan Great World..."
"Cosmic Sea... Could it be like the Great Xia World?"
"On some level, the macro and micro can be unified..."
"The cultivation methods of the Great Xia World might be the key to breaking into the Space-Time Great Way of this world!"
Fang Xing's eyes lit up, "Space-Time... Gravity... Black Hole! I've understood it!"
