Chapter 237: Demon Race Taboo

Not many creatures could perceive the signal of the Boundary Stone; it seemed only those who had reached a certain level of strength could sense it, as if filtering the number of people.

At present, everyone following Jiang Yan was a powerful figure in their own right.

Most people did not know the origin of the Four Directions Boundary Stone, but they sensed its signal from afar, believing it to be a kind of mysterious guidance, likely some precious treasure.

Thus, they chased after it in groups, determined to investigate whatever treasure was emitting the signal.

Jiang Yan spread his Spiritual Power and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the strength in this Star Domain was generally low, and few could comprehend the power of Laws like Qiao Yi. Dealing with them shouldn’t be too difficult.

“Since you’ve come, don’t think about leaving.”

More and more Transcendent Creatures gathered on the planet.

At that moment, the signal emitted by the Four Directions Boundary Stone weakened further before disappearing without a trace.

Boom!

A white worm descended upon this uninhabited planet, its pair of green eyes glaring fiercely at Jiang Yan.

“Gurgle, gurgle—”

Several more figures landed, varying in size, but without exception, their Auras were exceptionally powerful. It seemed the Boundary Stone only attracted the attention of the strong.

And Jiang Yan, holding the Boundary Stone, was like someone carrying a Jianghu bounty notice—everyone fantasized about killing him and seizing the treasure.

“Kid, the treasure’s signal cut off right here. I advise you to hand it over obediently, or else…”

Someone questioned Jiang Yan in the universal language, taking a step forward, the greed in their eyes barely concealed.

Something that could attract so many powerful beings must be a Heaven-Defying treasure!

Jiang Yan calmly looked at the bizarre-looking creature and slightly raised a finger.

His gaze swept into the distance, seeing that enough people had arrived, and he began to chant silently.

“Chaotic Void World.”

A black-and-white intertwined barrier rose over most of the planet.

Blood mist filled the sky, and wails echoed continuously. All those who attempted to covet the Boundary Stone became part of the “World.”

This time, he used a small portion of the Heaven Demon Origin, its power directly overwhelming this group of weaklings who hadn’t even comprehended Laws.

The blood lingered, but there was not a trace of pity in Jiang Yan’s eyes—only a hint of regret.

He left a few survivors, but unfortunately, none knew the origin of the Boundary Stone, so he silenced them.

“The origin of the Boundary Stone is truly intriguing…”

A treasure that even the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit couldn’t obscure—it was hard to imagine how powerful its origin must be.

Outside the blood-stained planet.

Several powerful beings who arrived a step too late, intending to kill and seize the treasure, felt a sudden chill, sensing the rapid disappearance of life on the planet.

“Not good, there’s a super-powerful being here. Let’s run!”

The unknown treasure ultimately couldn’t outweigh their lives, so they fled in all directions as fast as they could.

“Yan Thunder Destruction Slash!”

A chant echoed from within the planet.

Countless Saber lights descended.

A few seconds later, a few more mutilated corpses floated in the Starry Sky.

“From the looks of it, staying in this vicinity is the right choice for now. If I were near a major star like Tianyuan Star, it might attract the covetous eyes of Ninth Rank or even Tenth Rank powerhouses.”

Jiang Yan looked at the Four Directions Boundary Stone lying quietly in his hand, pondering silently.

For now, he didn’t know whether the Boundary Stone would emit signals again like this time, so he decided not to return to Blue Star for the time being.

If the matter involved Blue Star, Jiang Yan would have more concerns. But here, he only needed to worry about himself. Even if the Boundary Stone emitted a signal here, he was confident he could handle any strong experts who came to investigate.

Storing the Boundary Stone back into his spatial storage, Jiang Yan moved to another uninhabited planet and continued his cultivation.

Although the Four Directions Boundary Stone was intriguing, without sufficient strength to match it, it ultimately remained as elusive as the moon reflected in water.

These past few days, he had been unable to comprehend the Law, realizing that the path of the Martial Way must be taken steadily and solidly. It was too rash to try to grasp a complete Law just after reaching the Seventh Rank.

The books he bought a few days ago explained that Eighth Rank Martial Artists would awaken a certain Spirit Eye. With the support of the Spirit Eye, Martial Artists would be able to see things beyond ordinary perception.

For now, he should focus on cultivating as quickly as possible to reach that realm.

Expanding his Chaotic Void Domain, Jiang Yan enveloped himself within it, ensuring no one would disturb him.

Then, he summoned the Heaven Demon Origin and began quietly absorbing it for cultivation.

The Heaven Demon Origin almost covered all the cultivation resources Jiang Yan needed before reaching the Eighth Rank. As long as he slowly absorbed the energy contained within it and continuously perfected his Domain, he believed he would soon reach the Perfection stage of the Seventh Rank.

Cultivating both spirit and body, time passed like years.

One month later.

The surrounding Origin Source energy had dimmed slightly but was still remarkably resilient.

The “Chaotic Void World” became increasingly perfected, but Jiang Yan had been trying to incorporate the Life and Death Law Embryo into his Domain without success.

A Domain without the support of Laws was nothing more than a toy in the hands of Ninth or Tenth Rank experts.

Jiang Yan deeply understood this after his battle with Qiao Yi.

“Heaven Rewards Diligence is taking effect, which means my idea is correct.”

He had never heard of anyone being able to fuse Law power into their Domain at the Seventh Rank.

This was a paradox because it was impossible for anyone to comprehend a Law at the Seventh Rank.

And those strong experts who had already comprehended Laws had more powerful methods at their disposal, looking down on the mere power of a Domain.

Thus, Jiang Yan’s actions were entirely unfamiliar throughout the entire Galactic Domain.

“So difficult. It feels like I’m just a step away.”

The later the stage of a Martial Artist, the longer their lifespan, but correspondingly, the time required for cultivation also increased. Fortunately, Jiang Yan had the support of [Heaven Rewards Diligence], so he wouldn’t need to spend hundreds of years just to refine a Domain.

One week later, a two-colored beam of light shot into the sky from an uninhabited planet.

Life and death intertwined, the fusion of rebirth and annihilation!

“The Patriarch once said that our Demon Race does not need to comprehend Laws on our own. We only need to devour Flesh and Blood Essence, and at a certain stage, we will awaken the Legacy of our ancestors and naturally comprehend the power of Laws.”

“We comprehend Laws earlier than other beings. This is why the Demon Race stands as the strongest in the world.”

In his memory, the lingering words of the Life and Death Patriarch echoed in the Sky Demon’s mind.

“Patriarch, Patriarch, I also want to comprehend the Life and Death Law power like you!”

As a child, the Sky Demon idolized the Life and Death Patriarch.

Because he carried the bloodline of the Life and Death Demon Skeleton, he had the chance to awaken the Life and Death Law!

He had the opportunity to become as powerful as the strongest of the Demon Race.

However, mating between Demons of different bloodlines was an absolute taboo within the Demon Race.

If Demons of different races mated, the bloodline of their descendants would gradually dilute, eventually becoming no different from ordinary races, unable to naturally awaken the power of Laws.

Thus, the Demon Race places immense importance on the purity of their Bloodline.

Yet his mother and the Life and Death Demon Skeleton had committed precisely that forbidden act…
