Chapter 10 The Tenth Directional Cosmos, Lingering Star Domain, Ye Yun, whose eyes were tightly shut, suddenly opened them. An infinite imperial might erupted from his body.
Sun Xiaoshan, carrying this supreme heavenly might, entered the Southern Wilderness. He eventually triggered the heavenly might in the largest settlement of the demon race. The Southern Wilderness, extending for hundreds of thousands of miles, was flattened under that heavenly might. Sun Xiaoshan also perished under this heavenly might, and that divine sense returned to Ye Yun once more.
At this moment, Ye Yun's body exuded an ancient and desolate aura. In the thousand years within the eleventh directional cosmos, the thousands of divine senses he had separated had all returned. The overlap of countless years and epochs made Ye Yun appear like an eternal, unchanging existence standing in the river of time.
Figures overlapped behind Ye Yun, merging with him across the barriers of time and space. Simultaneously, strands of Dao rhyme bloomed in his sea of consciousness. Infinite divine senses transformed into dragons, carrying specks of starlight, churning within his sea of consciousness.
This is...
Ye Yun raised his right hand, gazing at the circulating halos between his fingers, his eyes flashing with a terrifying sharpness.
The Law of Time!
The specks of starlight accompanying the divine sense dragons in his sea of consciousness were the Law of Time! Although it was only a superficial grasp, it was undeniable that the divine senses he had withdrawn from the eleventh directional cosmos carried the aura of the Law of Time, and even his own body bore a faint imprint of the eleventh directional cosmos.
"What a treasure! If this happens a few more times, can I completely control the Law of Time?"
Ye Yun himself had been comprehending the Law of Time for a while, but he had never managed to get past the beginner stage. Among the three great laws, he had already achieved enlightenment in the Law of Space, and the Law of Life was perfected. Only the Law of Time remained elusive. For this, Ye Yun had spent thousands of law fragments, yet there had been no progress.
Without hesitation, Ye Yun once again divided his divine senses into ten thousand streams, dispersing them into the star domains within the eleventh directional cosmos, separated from the Lingering Star Domain. He then took out hundreds of law fragments and consumed several comprehension pills, falling into deep contemplation of the Law of Time.
The law starlight within his sea of consciousness would dissipate if not comprehended and absorbed quickly. Ye Yun naturally did not want to miss such an opportunity. As for matters within the game, with the Golden Crow's speed, it would take at least eight hours to fly to the next destination.
Law fragments emanated halos, spinning around Ye Yun. Strands of Dao rhyme seeped into Ye Yun's skin like energy, creating ripples.
Within his dantian, the starry river shimmered with specks of starlight, and countless true essence surged. The Dao of Space, the Dao of Sword Body, the Law of Life, the Law of True Fire, the Law of Thick Earth, and the Law of Weak Water seemed to have generated some kind of linkage at this moment, all manifesting within his dantian.
Except for the recently initiated Law of Weak Water, all other laws were beyond perfection.
"All members of the Poison Sting, clear all beings within a hundred thousand miles of the Emperor Lord's vicinity. Ten breaths later, any beings remaining within this range will be directly killed!"
Zhou Ningdong looked at Ye Yun, who had fallen into a state of comprehension, with a mixture of amusement and helplessness. He then turned to make arrangements. Although no one dared to oppose the empire in the tenth directional star domain, being disturbed during cultivation was still quite annoying.
Time ticked by. Starting from the tenth minute, divine sense projections began to emerge from the vortex, then entered Ye Yun's sea of consciousness.
This state lasted for nearly half an hour before ending. However, Ye Yun only opened his eyes ten hours later. By the time Ye Yun awoke from his meditation, over three hundred law fragments had lost their original luster and turned to dust.
"Impressive. Comprehending the Law of Time is far more difficult than comprehending the Law of Space and the Law of Life combined."
The Laws of Time, Space, and Life were known as the three most powerful and most difficult laws to comprehend in the Ten Directions Heaven and Earth. However, Ye Yun had no idea that the difficulty of comprehending the Law of Time would be so great.
Back then, a mere dozen or twenty law fragments were enough to initiate his understanding of the Law of Space. Now, he had consumed nearly two thousand law fragments on this single law, and he could only barely be considered to have initiated it.
"Zhou Ningdong, you and the Poison Sting will guard this domain gate from now on. Report any anomalies in this world to me immediately."
Ye Yun said to Zhou Ningdong, then flashed back into the Imperial Palace and entered the game.
His primary task now was to raise his level to one hundred. Only then could his talent be further enhanced, and only then could many of his subsequent plans proceed.
By this time, the Golden Crow had flown nearly two hundred thousand kilometers away from the previous area, far beyond Ye Yun's skill range. Therefore, Ye Yun found a place and plunged down with the Golden Crow, unleashing his skills and summoning the Little Golden Dragon.
Boom...
Infinite flames surged into the sky. Countless Age Beasts became experience points and various items under this great inferno.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for defeating 280,000 Level 2 Age Beasts and 360,000 Level 3 Age Beasts, gaining 20.8 trillion experience points, 388 million spirit stones, and 640 Age Geng. Pet 'Little Gold' gains 0 experience. Talent skill cooldown reduced by 72 days."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for obtaining 38.8 million points, current total points 100 million, ranking first on the points leaderboard."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for obtaining the item 'Spirit of the Beast God'."
These three system prompts directly pushed Ye Yun's experience bar for the next level past the halfway mark. He was at most one more "World of Fiery Refinement" away from the next level.
In the area between Zone 1 and Zone 2, all players, whether from the Moonlit Faction or the Futian Faction, were stunned by the changes on the points leaderboard.
"Captain, that guy has already taken first place on the points leaderboard. Do you think we need to report this to His Majesty in reality?" a squad leader asked dazedly, looking at the leaderboard. As "veterans" who had survived here for four or five years, they understood the implications better than anyone.
"Do I need to tell you? The main captain has already gone to report. Our main objective now is to guard His Majesty's hiding place. We must not let anything happen to His Majesty before he logs in," the company commander said coldly, glancing at the squad leader.
To accumulate such a massive amount of points in a short period required not only the ability to instantly kill everything but also a sufficient number of Age Beasts to kill, or Age Beasts of sufficiently high levels.
The update of this leaderboard was not real-time. Generally, it updated every six hours. Only when there were significant changes, such as an increase of over a million points at once, or a change in ranking, would it update in real-time.
Just as everyone was intently watching the leaderboard, a wooden stake sitting on a stone suddenly moved and then stood up. Upon seeing this, the players immediately knelt down in worship.
