Fragment of Law?
What is that thing?
Both Da Huang and Xiao Yao found this term unfamiliar—it was a level they had never encountered before.
"What is the Law?"
"Sounds like something incredibly powerful," Da Huang said excitedly.
"Exactly, it truly is."
"The power of Law is no small matter."
"Da Huang, remember how every time I fused a Pearl of Origin, I gained a new ability?"
"Back then, I only knew the ability was strong but didn’t understand what it was."
"Now, I finally know."
"It’s the power of Law."
"However, this Law power is still weak, and I haven’t been able to fully unleash its true potential."
"And that fragment just now was a Fragment of Law—one that perfectly matches the Law power I obtained myself."
"This Chen Tian is truly formidable. He even knew what Law power I gained from the first Pearl of Origin and left behind a matching Fragment of Law here."
Hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Da Huang was stunned. Just how monstrous was this Chen Tian?
Da Huang wasn’t entirely clear about the abilities Chen Chang'an had obtained, but it knew they were all ridiculously overpowered.
So, the energy contained within the Pearls of Origin was actually the power of Law? If Chen Chang'an had fused nine Pearls of Origin, did that mean he possessed nine different Law powers?
From the looks of it, Chen Tian had probably also left behind nine Fragments of Law in the Primordial Immortal Realm—each matching Chen Chang'an’s own Law powers.
"What exactly is your relationship with Chen Tian? How could he leave such incredible treasures for you?" Da Huang asked curiously.
"I’d like to know that too. Why would he leave behind something so precious?" Chen Chang'an was also puzzled. Chen Tian’s treatment of him was almost too generous.
"So, what’s this Law power about?" Da Huang pressed.
"The Law of Wisdom."
"But I’ve never really understood what it does."
"Back in the Grand Profound Realm, I couldn’t figure out its purpose."
When Chen Chang'an fused his first Pearl of Origin, the energy gathered in his forehead. At the time, he only felt that his comprehension and soul had grown stronger, with no other noticeable effects.
It wasn’t until he fused this Fragment of Law that he realized—this was the power of the Law of Wisdom.
"So, what does the Law of Wisdom actually do?" Da Huang asked eagerly.
"Aside from granting immense comprehension and strengthening the soul, as its name suggests, it bestows infinite wisdom. If mastered, it allows one to perceive the past and future, even deduce events spanning millions of years. Most importantly, it greatly enhances the comprehension of other Law powers."
Perceive the past and future?
"Do you think Chen Tian also possesses the Law of Wisdom? Is that how he knows so much?"
"Could he have deduced every step you’d take?"
"That ability is seriously broken," Da Huang said, shocked.
"He must have it," Chen Chang'an nodded.
"That’s terrifying!"
"You two are both monsters—each more absurd than the other."
"By the way, what other Law powers do you have? Didn’t you fuse nine Pearls of Origin?" Da Huang looked at Chen Chang'an expectantly.
"Right now, aside from the Law of Wisdom, I can confirm the Law of Life, the Law of Death, the Law of Time, and the Law of Space."
"There’s also an ability that lets me amplify my strength a thousandfold in an instant—I suspect that’s the Law of Force."
"As for the ability to place restrictions on any object, I’m not sure what Law that is."
"The Pearl fused into my heart—I still don’t know what ability it gave me. It feels like it’s dormant inside me."
"But the Law power from the last Pearl of Origin? I’m certain it’s the Law of Destruction."
"Back in the Crimson Moon Secret Realm, I could sense that the destructive energy there was identical to the ability I gained last."
Hearing this, Da Huang couldn’t help but feel envious. A single person possessing nine different Law powers—and all of them so overpowering?
How was anyone else supposed to compete?
Aside from the unknown ability from the heart-fused Pearl, the other eight had been identified.
Chen Chang'an decided to define the ability to place restrictions on all things as "Law Entanglement"—meaning he could wrap the power of Law around anything.
"Wait, doesn’t it feel like we’re retreading old ground?"
"In the Grand Profound Realm, we searched for Pearls of Origin. Now, in the Primordial Immortal Realm, we have to hunt for Fragments of Law?"
"Are we just destined to spend our lives chasing after things?" Da Huang grumbled.
"We have to. The power of Law is immense—unbelievably so."
"Back in the Grand Profound Realm, even though I had these abilities, every time I used them, it felt like there were limits—like I couldn’t unleash their full potential."
"Otherwise, with the Law of Life, I could’ve completely healed Yao Niming’s injuries back then."
"But after fusing this Fragment of Law, that restriction is gone."
"Chen Tian left these behind because he knew the Law powers within me were incomplete or constrained."
"Say what you will about him, but the things he left behind are undeniably useful," Chen Chang'an said with a laugh.
"Tch, look at you, so pragmatic now."
"Weren’t you the one saying you didn’t like following the path he laid out?"
"What happened?"
"Got a taste of the benefits and couldn’t resist, huh?" Da Huang sneered.
"What do you know? This is called assessing the situation and weighing the pros and cons."
"Maybe it’s because I fused the Fragment of Wisdom—I feel like my mind’s been enlightened."
"If there’s something good to be gained, why not take it? Let him arrange things however he wants. In the end, the benefits are mine."
"What would a dog’s brain like yours understand?" Chen Chang'an shot Da Huang a dismissive glance.
"Yeah, I don’t get it. You do."
"‘Enlightened,’ my tail. You’re just making excuses to save face. You think I don’t know you?" Da Huang retorted with a look of disdain.
Whack!
"Getting a little too bold, aren’t you?"
"Forgotten who’s in charge here?"
Chen Chang'an smacked Da Huang on the head, sending the dog stumbling.
"Fine, Chen Chang'an, you’re something else."
"Oh, you’re so great now, is that it? This is how you treat me?"
"Ten thousand years of friendship—gone, vanished, over."
"From today onward, you and I go our separate—"
"Hehehe, Bro, you giving me money?"
"See, I knew you were the best!"
Da Huang had been about to deliver a few more cutting remarks, but the moment Chen Chang'an pulled out a pile of immortal spirit stones, its eyes lit up.
Were these just ordinary immortal spirit stones?
No—this was funding!
