Chapter 2359: Chapter 2257 Understanding the Rules

Although the Sands Beasts were powerful, they had absolutely no ability to counterattack when facing Peter Brown, instantly falling into the domain of rules, where the special Earth Rules completely stripped away any power to resist.

First came the Earth Trap, followed by Ice Knives and Ice Arrows.

In that area, there were also a large number of various means of earth-based or water-based destruction.

No Sands Beast could hold out for very long.

Tens of thousands of Sands Beasts arrived, but within 10 minutes, everything changed, with each Sands Beast turning into nothingness.

Yikes!

Peter Brown’s gaze intensified as he noticed that when the Sands Beasts died, a power of the Rule of Gold emanated from them.

Without much thought, as Peter Brown formed a Hand Seal, the Devouring Technique was already unfolding.

As the devouring technique expanded, Peter Brown had already swallowed those strands of rules’ power into his Elixir Sea.

So strong!

Peter Brown was a bit surprised; this power of rules was much stronger than the rules’ power he had previously obtained, which made it easier for him to comprehend them.

If he could obtain more of this power of rules, it would be immensely beneficial to him.

In the ensuing time, Peter Brown used his two types of rules to the fullest, and the Sands Beasts trapped in the rules’ domain died one by one.

Just as the last Sands Beast perished and Peter Brown devoured the last power of rules, he began sitting cross-legged here.

All around was the flickering of rules’ power, yet Peter Brown was plunged into a state of comprehension.

Time passed little by little, and Peter Brown’s insights increased.

Whereas before there were many unclear aspects of the Rule of Gold, they now became clearer.

Still not enough!

After a long while, Peter Brown opened his eyes, with a more intense aura emanating from his entire body.

However, there was a hint of bitterness on Peter Brown’s face; despite comprehending so much, it still fell short by a lot.

It seems I must enter the core area.

As Peter Brown cast a Water Technique, his whole body was cleansed, and then he changed into another set of clothes.

After using the Water Technique to form a protective barrier, the desert’s power weakened.

Glancing around, Peter Brown saw no more beast species and with spreading Divine Sense, he noticed a large number of Sands Beasts still far ahead.

This place is no longer a difficult situation for me!

Peter Brown embarked again, continuing inward.

It appears the most formidable part of the sands layer is indeed the Sands Beasts!

After walking for a few days, Peter Brown confirmed this fact.

Another day later, Peter Brown was sitting cross-legged on a giant Sands Beast, whose speed was far faster than Peter Brown’s own running speed.

Of course, there were Sands Beasts along the way, many smaller ones were scared off by the giant Sands Beast, and Peter Brown himself killed many Sands Beasts.

If an ordinary person entered here, their life would likely be in grave danger, but to someone like me, it is as if I’m taking a leisurely stroll, nothing too difficult.

After discovering the situation here, Peter Brown lost interest in staying and urged the Sands Beast to continue moving forward.

Of course, along the way, Peter Brown spent more time comprehending rules’ power, feeling a deeper understanding of the Rule of Gold.

Thus, Peter Brown moved forward while gaining insights and soon exited the sands region.

Upon emerging, Peter Brown was surprised to find that the area ahead was not as others had described; it only took the Third Level to enter the core zone.

With Divine Sense surveying again and again, Peter Brown sensed that the rules’ power here was genuinely strong, with no Illusion Beasts or any threats whatsoever.

No one could reach here!

After examining all around, Peter Brown confirmed his suspicion that this was an uninhabited area.

But, the outside world claims this is a Fifth Layer region; why did I enter after only three layers?

Peter Brown pondered over this matter with some difficulty.

Illusion Land!

After some thought, Peter Brown had some realization, estimating that he truly entered an Illusion Land, where every rules’ power manifests various transformations, changing as he moved through. For ordinary people, each area would be so difficult they couldn’t proceed further, thus increasing the difficulty, but the places Peter moved through couldn’t confine him, naturally not employing the most common illusionary landscapes against him.

When thinking of this, Peter Brown’s gaze sharpened, sensing that his next experiences might be even more illusionary and powerful, perhaps trapping him for life.

Rules’ power!

Reflecting on his insights and the situations encountered, evil spirit, poisonous gas, desert…

Peter Brown realized all he had gone through were special areas testing his mind’s resolve—only those lacking a firm will would die of fear or madness if they got trapped. Therefore, within this Rule of Gold, it might well test his resolve.

Upon this realization, Peter Brown hesitated to take the next step, deeply understanding that the test might begin once he entered.

After some time, Peter Brown gritted his teeth and proceeded inward.

When Peter Brown stepped out of this zone, he indeed knew he had entered a special Space Domain.

This was a space Peter Brown had never seen, filled entirely with the Iron Blood Qi, Sword Qi Horizontal and Vertical, and Golden Ge Iron Horse!

A kind of Aura of Killing, seemingly eradicated all in its path.

At this moment, Peter Brown understood that his cultivation to this point meant fighting others wasn’t an issue; the test was for his mental character.

Here, rules’ power surged in abundance, so Peter Brown found a place to sit cross-legged. Knowing this was the core zone of Gold Mountain, he realized that only by truly comprehending the rules’ power here would he leave alive; otherwise, he’d die here of old age.

With Divine Sense sweeping once more, Peter Brown was shocked to find this place was not indeed void of people, as dozens sat cross-legged here, each in extreme lifelessness, seemingly trapped in some kind of illusion.
