Death… and me

Chapter 2670  First Sublaws

The month passed without much happening for the twins. However, things weren’t as calm to those trying to approach the tower. The more people that arrived close to it, the more they saw that there were too many Wonder beasts. 

Without another choice, everyone could only focus on Chaos Cultivation, trying to grow stronger for when they decide to attack the tower. The Semi-Celesitals obviously had a huge advantage. Their far-above comprehension allowed them to improve their Chaos Cultivation at a very fast pace. They would definitely be the main force when it came to entering the tower.

Kafan watched all of that, already spending his time doing pretty much nothing. The Chaos Laws he experienced in the past made it much easier for him to cultivate them. He was already at his peak, being just behind Loporrits in this regard. Well, he would also fall behind the twins’ group in Chaos Cultivation alone, but that’s because the twins have the Purple Crystal.

Nonetheless, the cultivation difference would make up for it. That’s why Roan mentioned they would have a strength equivalent to the Semi-Celestials, not above.

“Another one trying to bite more than he should,” Kafan’s perception caught another cultivator dying to the Chaos laws. He was only in the Initial Stage of the Space-Time Realm and ended up having to fight a Wonder Beast on his own. Normally, it wouldn’t be a helpless situation. However, this guy was feeling he was falling behind, so he dove deeper into the tower’s direction. He couldn’t keep the Chaos Laws at bay and fight the Wonder Beast at the same time. Finally, the Chaos Laws entered his body, messed everything up, and the Wonder Beast finished the job.

Kafan ignored that guy, having seen such situations happening a few times. He was rather surprised, though. The number of experts able to reach this place was much higher than he initially expected. From the numbers alone, it wouldn’t be too long before the Semi-Celestials called everyone to attack the tower.

Back in the underground cave, the last spec of the Purple Crystal disappeared, being absorbed by the twins’ group. Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky’s bodies now emanated a pressure similar to what Kafan and the other Semi-Celestials did. Sure enough, they managed to get their Chaos Cultivation complete, being even above Kafan.

“That Big Purple Crystal will definitely be a huge boost,” Rean couldn’t help but comment as everyone nodded.

In the end, they didn’t need the entire small Purple Crystal to reach that level of Chaos Cultivation. Only half of it was enough to get to this stage. The rest of the Crystal was then used in their sublaws’ comprehension, just like Celis initially desired.

Roan wasn’t kidding when he said the crystal could easily get them to comprehend their first sublaws. In the end, the remaining half of the small Purple Crystal was enough for their group to finish comprehending their first sublaws of a single element.

Celis, Kentucky, and the twins had two laws they had to comprehend. Light and Dark Laws for the twins and Kentucky, while Celis had Wood and Absorption. Rean finished the first sublaw of Light, which is light itself.

Let’s not forget the four sublaws of Light are Light, Recovery, Life, and Yang. In the Divinity Realm, Rean could merge these laws in the Major Law of Light.

Roan got his first sublaw of darkness, which was obviously dark, too. The other three were Corrosion, Death, and Yin.

Kentucky had to set for one of the two as well, so he chose Light first since he found it better to keep himself alive.

Last but not least, Celis finished his comprehension of his first sublaw of Absorption, which was Sense. The other three were Attraction, Circulation, and Integration.

Roan was satisfied with everyone’s results. “So, Rean and Kentucky need the first sublaw of darkness, I need the first sublaw of light, and Celis needs the first sublaw of wood. It went way better than expected.”

Celis was the most excited. His sense towards all types of energy increased several times. With that alone, he could feel even Bunbun all the way back at the entrance of the tunnel. In a world like this, where Divine Sense and Spatial Perception were highly impaired, that was a huge advantage. “We absolutely need that Big Purple Crystal!”

Kentucky sighed. “It is time to go to the tower, isn’t it?”

The others didn’t even look at him as they walked outside the cave. “Just accept it, let’s go.”

Sometime later, they emerged back in the ruined palace. Bunbun, obviously, was there waiting for them. He looked at the twins’ group and couldn’t help but nod in approval. “I can feel it. Your Chaos Cultivation has reached the maximum level, only behind us, Loporrits. Perhaps you can truly get the Purple Crystal in the tower.”

Kentucky changed back into his Minokawa form. “Everyone, jump on.” They all sat on Kentucky’s back before Kentucky shot into the distance. 

On the way, Rean asked Bunbun something that had been bothering him all this while. “Bunbun, answer me one thing. Your Loporrit Race has a higher Chaos Cultivation thanks to your Bloodline. You are obviously stronger than even the Semi-Celestials as long as you are in this world. So… why do you need us to take the Purple Crystal of the Tower? Wouldn’t it be much better for your Loporrit Race to do it instead?”

“Hmph!” Bunbun snorted. “Do you think we haven’t thought about that? It is impossible for our Loporrit Race to enter the tower.”

“Why?” Everyone got curious and asked back.

“The tower rejects us,” Bunbun began to explain. “Do you remember the formation we used to try to close the Spatial Distortion? The tower marked the Loporrits as a threat to its existence because of that event. As long as you have a Loporrit Bloodline, that layer of Purple Energy will keep you away. Believe me, we tried to enter… countless times…”

“I see…” Rean now understood the issue. “Don’t worry; we will try our best to bring it back to you.”
