The power of a cultivator is divided into three types.

Realm Power, Power of Laws, Soul Power.

Realm Power encompasses the physical body, barbarian force, and spiritual consciousness; Wang Xu's Realm Power is exceptionally strong. With the realm of Duality Saint Venerable Realm, he can rival the Four Elements Saint Venerable Realm, and using the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, he can even kill ordinary Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm cultivators like Chi Lu Saint Venerable in one strike.

But Wang Xu's accomplishments in the Power of Laws are quite ordinary.

Upon advancing to Saint Venerable, he fused with the Law of Light, and then began the path of "Reversal Law." Wang Xu did not deeply comprehend it, not even possessing a trace of Law Power containing the essence of reversal, let alone reaching a certain realm. Even Chi Lu Saint Venerable, who died by his hand, was much stronger than him in the Power of Laws.

As for the Soul Power, it is elusive and untraceable, and Wang Xu first recognized and encountered it in the Profound Dragon Room.

Among the three great powers, as long as a cultivator can achieve something in any one of them, they are considered top tier in the chaos.

However, Dark Night Saint Venerable can cultivate all three powers to their peak. Isn't that what a monster is?

...

Screech!

Dark Night Saint Venerable was once again attacked by the sharp claws of the Golden Dragon and had to transform into crimson mist to dodge.

But every use of his Law of Body Transformation consumes a large amount of Law Power, which, unlike primordial qi, is not easy to replenish. With repeated consumption, his law attacks grew weaker, unable to even break the scales of the Golden Dragon in the end!

The battle lasted for three days.

Dark Night Saint Venerable heavily injured one of the Golden Dragons, intending to use the Chaos Primordial Technique to enslave it.

But he failed.

Soul enslavement does not have a one hundred percent success rate and is full of uncertainties. If any step goes wrong, failure is inevitable.

Unable to enslave the Golden Dragon and under siege by several other Golden Dragons, Dark Night Saint Venerable's life force waned day by day.

Finally—

"I give up," Dark Night Saint Venerable shouted.

Roar!

Instantly, the Golden Dragons that were about to charge forward were trapped by an invisible cage, unable to advance any further.

"Go back," Lan Ji waved his hand, and the despondent figure of Dark Night Saint Venerable returned to the Dragon Circle of the White Dragon; he slowly flew back to the isolated island.

"Alas, he failed."

"Indeed, though this trial poses almost no threat to one's life, it's because of that the difficulty of passing is exaggeratedly high!"

"With Dark Night Saint Venerable's power being already monstrous, yet still failing, when will we be able to leave here?!"

The Saint Venerable Ancestors shook their heads and sighed.

Dark Night Saint Venerable is the most gifted among the thousands of people here, having only been in the Profound Dragon Room for a short period, yet his realm in 'Zheng' has already surpassed everyone, reaching the Fifth Level, making him the most hopeful of passing.

But now that even he has failed and returned, the crowd inevitably feels disappointed and desolate.

Wang Xu's eyes focused on Dark Night Saint Venerable, noticing a trace of disheartened melancholy in his expression, understanding that he too was troubled by this failure.

Dark Night Saint Venerable returned to his place, sitting cross-legged in silence, re-entering a state of cultivation.

"He still has a chance. The highest realm in 'Zheng' is the Sixth Level. As long as Dark Night Saint Venerable reaches the Sixth Level, he can successfully enslave a Golden Dragon!"

Wang Xu thought to himself, understanding that Dark Night Saint Venerable's failure was due to the realm of 'Zheng,' not a lack of power.

Dark Night Saint Venerable had already managed to heavily injure one Golden Dragon amidst the onslaught of ten. Once he enslaves that Golden Dragon, his side's power increase will provide the confidence to handle the remaining nine Golden Dragons.

Defeating all ten Golden Dragons at once is impossible; the only viable strategy now is to enslave them one by one, weakening the Golden Dragon group and strengthening his side's power.

"It seems what I need most now isn't the Chaos Primordial Technique, but the Law Realm," Wang Xu thought.

Since enslaving the Golden Dragon is crucial, Wang Xu needs at least to ensure his survival under the assault of these ten Golden Dragons.

As for Wang Xu's current strength, even a single Golden Dragon can easily kill him.

"Luckily, the Law Origin is surging here, which makes it a perfect place for cultivation. I can slowly comprehend the Law Origin here."

The surge of Law Origin is merely an added advantageous condition.

Cultivating the "Reversal Law" at the Saint Venerable Realm crucially depends on comprehension; without it, one might struggle to achieve perfection until even the Chaotic Cosmos is destroyed.

But if one possesses exceptional comprehension, as Dark Night Saint Venerable does, with a higher realm in the Chaos Primordial Technique than the Ancestor Realm, the Reversal Law can be mastered to the utmost in a short time.

The Reversal Law is divided into four realms.

First Realm, Reverse Touch.

Touching upon the profound meaning of the Reversal Law, able to wield its power.

Second Realm, Inversion.

Able to fuse the comprehended Reversal Law with Secret Technique Secret Scripture, causing one's power to soar.

Third Realm, Reverse Movement.

To use the most illustrative analogy, the first two realms are like fetching water bucket by bucket from a well, whereas reaching the Third Realm is like having a tap, freely using water.

This is the watershed of the Reversal Law Realm; those with mediocre comprehension at the Saint Venerable Realm may never grasp the Third Realm in their lifetime.

Fourth Realm, Reverse Extremity.

When a Saint Venerable Realm cultivator surpasses the power of the Third Realm in the Reversal Law, Reverse Extremity marks the endpoint of Law Reversal, where the law no longer proceeds in the original trajectory.

For instance, the Law of Fire.

Upon reaching the extreme, achieving the Reverse Extremity Realm can give rise to the attributes of the Law of Void, Law of Time, Law of Water, Law of Light, etc. The Flame Burning Sword will surge with massive waves, cause void to collapse and compress, and time to stop... all the wonders will manifest in the Reverse Extremity Realm.

However, what many cultivators crave is still the near-undying "Law of Body Transformation."

After mastering the Law of Body Transformation, one possesses an Undying Body. Even if an Ancestor Realm individual attacks, as long as they don't use the Power of Origin, they can't be killed!

The Power of Origin is extremely precious. Unless there is a vast and irreconcilable enmity, an Ancestor Realm individual would never recklessly use the Power of Origin.

...

He sat in meditation for ten thousand years.

In the blink of an eye, after ten thousand years, Wang Xu barely reached the Reverse Touch Realm, still a vast distance from the Second Realm of Reversal Law Power.

But during this time, Wang Xu witnessed an Ancestor Realm individual challenge.

The conditions for passing for an Ancestor Realm are different from those for a Saint Venerable Realm individual.

A Saint Venerable must enslave ten Golden Dragons, while an Ancestor Realm must enslave the last Seven-Colored Dragon.

The Golden Dragon is at the Ancestor Realm; as for the Black Dragon, it definitely surpasses the Ancestor Realm, and the Seven-Colored Dragon completely crushes Ancestor Realm existence.

The chances are slim.

Thus, as expected, the challenge failed.

Moreover, to Wang Xu's regret, this Ancestor Realm individual didn't even last half a day under the siege of ten Golden Dragons before choosing to give up.

"This Copper Dragon Ancestor's strength is still too ordinary." Wang Xu shook his head.

The Dark Night Saint Venerable, though just a Saint Venerable, could last a full three days under the siege of ten Golden Dragons, yet he gave up in less than half a day.

If it really came to a one-on-one fight, this Copper Dragon Ancestor wouldn't be a match for the Dark Night Saint Venerable.

"Observing the battle of Ancestor Realm individuals has been immensely beneficial to me." Each Ancestor Realm individual is a great figure who has passed through Reincarnation, an existence insurmountable to Wang Xu. Observing their battles naturally allows Wang Xu to gain enlightenment.

As time passed, Wang Xu had been in this Profound Dragon Room for fifty thousand years.

He had also sat in meditation on this small island for fifty thousand years.

"Whew!"

Opening his eyes, Wang Xu let out a long breath, "The Reversal Law Power has reached the Second Realm 'Inversion'. It seems my comprehension is quite good."

In such a treasure land where the Law Origin surges abundantly, and with the battles of Saint Venerable Ancestor Realm experts to observe, Wang Xu gained a lot of insights.

Coupled with his strong comprehension, otherwise, how could he have become a top genius from a slum rat on Earth to a prominent figure in the Genetics Academy?

All these factors combined, Wang Xu's Reversal Law Power soared, reaching the Inversion Realm in just fifty thousand years.

"The Third Realm of the Reversal Law is a watershed, not easily reached. It's time to cultivate 'Zheng'."

For fifty thousand years, ever since Wang Xu arrived at this Profound Dragon Room, he had been comprehending the Law, never having cultivated the Chaos Primordial Technique 'Zheng' left by the Great Profound Dragon Emperor.

Immediately, in his mind, Wang Xu reviewed the cultivation methods described in 'Zheng', practicing according to the instructions.

...

Another fifty thousand years passed.

Inside the Inner Cosmos.

"Heart Capturing!"

In the void, Wang Xu in a black robe raised his palm, black light gleaming from his body, the gloomy black light falling like torrential rain.

All the billions of mortal creatures below fell into a daze, as if they were mere walking corpses.

The First Level of 'Zheng', Heart Capturing, makes the soul of the person under the spell go completely blank, equivalent to losing spirituality.

In battle, this causes the enemy to become momentarily dazed, and the outcome of the battle is self-evident.

"Soul Control!"

With a thought, Wang Xu made all the billions of mortal creatures below raise their right hands.

The Second Level, Soul Control, after controlling the soul, allows the caster to manipulate the souls of living beings. A single thought can make them do anything.

The First Level, Second Level, do not demand too much from Soul Power. As a Saint Venerable, and with understanding much stronger than an ordinary Saint Venerable, Wang Xu naturally cultivated at an extraordinary speed.

"Next, attempt the Third Level, Mind Crossing."

Scene shifting, Wang Xu was amidst a battlefield filled with smoke and shattering cries.

The two warring sides were two countries, with millions of mortal soldiers and cultivators of various realms fighting desperately.

The most crucial battleground was ten thousand meters above the air, where several Eternal Generations Celestial Gods were fiercely battling.

Wang Xu's figure was beside them, yet none looked at him, as if he were as invisible as air.

Several Eternal Generations Celestial Gods fought fervently.

Wang Xu whispered softly, "Sleep, fall into a deep sleep..."

Like a hypnotic illusion, the black streaming light drifted out lightly.

Instantly, the battle ceased; several Eternal Generations Celestial Gods all closed their eyes, falling into a deep slumber.

The Third Level, Mind Crossing, makes the enemy, under no precaution, enchanted by the illusionary sound and completely lost.

Wang Xu's Mind Crossing put several Eternal Generations Celestial Gods to sleep. If it aimed at slaughter, they would have gone mad and chosen to self-detonate!

The Mind Crossing succeeded on the Eternal Generations Celestial Gods, but when Wang Xu tried it on the Billion Era Celestial God, it merely made them dizzy for an instant and had no other effect.

"My Soul Power is not strong enough yet."

The stronger the Soul Power, the greater the power of Mind Crossing.

But Wang Xu couldn't even control the Billion Era Celestial Gods now, let alone the White Dragon of the Saint Venerable Realm?

Thus, Wang Xu sighed and left the Inner Cosmos to continue cultivation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on qidian.com; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
