The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3187 - 3182: One Month Later_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
This treacherous environment was forged by rule intensities that varied by tens of multiples. These rules possessed a terrifying power, far exceeding what any common cultivator could hope to endure.
Conversely, while the intensity of these rules was extreme, the potential rewards were equally vast. Cultivating within such an atmosphere allowed one's progress to double in speed,
and this rate of advancement would only continue to scale linearly.
Taking a long breath, Yang Chen realized that he had truly managed to transform a disaster into a stroke of luck.
For any other person, submerged in this lake water would mean certain death. Forget about Cultivation; they would be fortunate just to survive the ordeal.
Yang Chen, however, was a unique case. Since he could navigate the depths without hindrance, Cultivation was a natural possibility.
"If I am permitted to undergo Cultivation in this lake for an extended period, even though I have just reached the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm, pushing my cultivation level to the very bottleneck of the Heavenly Leaving Realm would be simple," Yang Chen thought with immense joy.
Once he reached that stage, he could depend on the Xuan Jie and Liuli stones to facilitate his breakthrough into the Heaven-separated Realm.
Despite this, Yang Chen did not rush to begin his Cultivation.
Instead, he first utilized his Space-Time Dao Intent to shield his form, moving steadily toward the lake's epicenter. He could sense a formidable power radiating from the heart of the water.
"The rule intensity increases as one nears the center. Senior Han Bo once mentioned that the secret behind Bi Shuangxing's uniqueness likely resides at the bottom of this very lake..."
While Yang Chen lacked interest previously, now that he was inside the water, he felt a natural urge to uncover the truth.
As he progressed, the pressure intensified with every step he took toward the middle.
"How frightening... The rule intensity here at the center is even more overwhelming than in the Outer Area."
Based on the calculations from the edge, the pressure doubled and then quadrupled as one moved inward.
At this moment, even before reaching the absolute center, Yang Chen estimated that the rule intensity had already surged to eight times the strength of the outermost layer.
The concentration of rules in this specific zone was likely hundreds of times greater than that of Bi Shuangxing itself.
"This is bad, my Space-Time Law is beginning to struggle..." Yang Chen noted the mounting strain.
The protection offered by the Space-Time Law was not invincible. It sufficed for the Outer Area, but it was being steadily eroded the closer he drew to the core.
Through the water, Yang Chen could see a massive vortex spinning on the lake floor. This swirling mass appeared to be the origin of the surrounding power.
This sight only served to deepen his curiosity.
Ultimately, however, Yang Chen regained his composure: "With my current strength, reaching the center is too difficult. I should focus on Cultivation in the Outer Area first to return my power to its peak before I try again!"
Having made his decision, Yang Chen retreated quickly to the Outer Area.
By staying in this section, his law protection remained perfect, granting him the freedom to practice his Cultivation as he pleased.
Attempting the same in the Inner Area was currently impossible.
During this period of Cultivation, Yang Chen felt his depleted laws being restored rapidly. His strength surged, closing the gap toward the legendary Heavenly Leaving Realm.
Furthermore, his ten varieties of Dao Intent were being tempered into true laws.
Yang Chen was confident that if he were granted another decade here, he could not only achieve the Heavenly Leaving Realm in one go but also manifest a full set of ten Laws from his Dao Intent.
The thought of being guarded by ten complete Laws was staggering even to him. Regrettably, time was a luxury he did not possess.
Reaching Mo Xin Lake had already consumed a month. He was only permitted to remain beneath Bi Shuangxing for a total of three months.
With two months remaining, and one month required for the return trip, he was left with only a single month for his Cultivation...
Yang Chen let out a heavy sigh but quickly dismissed the thought: "I am being too greedy. To turn a crisis into such an opportunity for Cultivation is already a massive blessing. What more could I ask for?"
Emptying his mind of distractions, he plunged into deep Cultivation.
Thus, a month went by in the blink of an eye.
To Yang Chen, a month felt far too brief, as no amount of time in such a sacred land would ever feel sufficient.
Nevertheless, Yang Chen was radiating with satisfaction.
Under normal circumstances, even after reaching the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm and having Liuli Stones and other treasures, it would take decades of stabilization before attempting a breakthrough.
Advancing to the Heavenly Leaving Realm was a monumental challenge.
Yet, thanks to Mo Xin Lake, he had reached a state of total readiness in every category.
Specifically, his Thunder and Lightning Laws had peaked within the lake, nearing the status of complete laws. Once he departed from Mo Xin Lake and stabilized his foundation, he could use the Liuli Mine to force a breakthrough into the Heavenly Leaving Realm.
"My time for Cultivation here is done, and it is time to return. But before I leave, I must inspect the center of the lake bed one last time," Yang Chen whispered.
He felt he would regret it if he left without investigating the truth.
Yang Chen waded toward the center once more, fighting against the crushing weight of the water.
The rule pressure continued its exponential climb, especially as he drew near the vortex on the floor...
"This is not good. Even at my peak and with law protection, I cannot withstand this if I keep going. What exactly is hidden at the lake's heart?" Yang Chen’s eyes widened in shock; the scale of it was beyond his imagination.
However, he was unwilling to simply walk away.
After a moment of hesitation, he began to chant a low spell. Suddenly, the dormant Dao Fetus within him opened its eyes. As its small mouth moved, the law power surrounding Yang Chen surged to an entirely new level.
A faint smile touched Yang Chen’s lips as he pushed forward into the center of the vortex.
With the pressure significantly lightened, he successfully reached the heart of the lake floor.
But the moment he arrived, Yang Chen’s pupils constricted. He recoiled in terror, not daring to stay a second longer.
As he touched the edge of the vortex, he realized the rule pressure had reached an inconceivable level.
One more step and the sheer intensity of the rules would have obliterated him instantly, regardless of the boost to his Space-Time Law.
"It is too horrifying. What is concealed within this vortex? From what I can see, the rules within this vortex actually alter the Heavenly Dao, making the rules of the entire Bi Shuangxing plane far more potent than other worlds!" Yang Chen whispered, now only willing to watch from a safe distance.
"I lack the cultivation level required to solve this mystery. I will have to wait until I attain the Heavenly Leaving Realm in the future. Though, I don't know if I will ever get the chance to return to this place!"
Though filled with a sense of regret, Yang Chen did not dwell on it. With a powerful surge, he leaped out of Mo Xin Lake!
