Chapter 263: Fallen Immortal Grass

Jiang Yan used the [Time Law] to restore himself to peak condition and even gained an extra hour of cultivation time for free.

“The Life and Death Law has actually improved!”

Jiang Yan was pleasantly surprised. Did this mean there were dense fragments of the Life and Death Law here?

He carefully examined his surroundings, and with his Spirit Eye, he indeed saw fragments floating in the air.

“Unfortunately, there’s only Life Qi. Death Qi is too sparse.”

The difficulty of gathering fragments of two opposing laws like Life Qi and Death Qi in one place was unimaginable.

This world remained empty of people. Jiang Yan wouldn’t expend his own energy to transmigrate to another Small World until the [Time Law] cooldown was ready.

“They say the Four Directions Realm is full of dangers, so why haven’t I encountered any living beings?”

An hour later.

The surroundings were completely calm.

A day later.

Jiang Yan withdrew from his cultivation state. The spatial tremors around him made him uneasy, fearing something major was about to happen.

“This world is very unstable, showing signs of collapse at any moment.”

Jiang Yan wasn’t particularly panicked. When the crisis arrived, he could simply teleport away.

Just then, a black hole appeared before Jiang Yan, and a tall metallic construct emerged from it.

Jiang Yan took a step back, cautiously observing the Mecha.

“A God-grade Mecha. It’s him.”

This person was none other than that wealthy Young Master from the Myriad Realms Company, equipped with a God-grade Mecha and God-grade Armament, and even had a Martial God as his butler. He was truly in the spotlight.

The ten-meter-tall Mecha, though not particularly imposing among the myriad beings of the Universe, should not be underestimated in terms of its power.

The dark mechanical head shifted slightly, paying no attention to Jiang Yan. After a soft murmur from the man inside the cockpit, the Mecha’s chest emitted a beam of light, piercing a black hole ahead.

“The law fragments here are too sparse. Let’s search elsewhere.”

With that, the Mecha entered the black hole.

Jiang Yan looked at the still-lingering black hole and thought, why not take this opportunity to hitch a ride?

It would save him from expending energy using the [Space Law].

Thus, Jiang Yan also slipped through the crack into the black hole before it dissipated.

After traversing a path of nothingness, Jiang Yan entered another world.

Boom!

Almost as soon as he arrived in this world, Jiang Yan heard deafening clashes of laws, so immense that it seemed a Martial God-level battle was unfolding.

The Young Master Lyon Gaga, piloting the Mecha, used its scanning function, his gaze sharp as he looked ahead.

“It’s actually a ten-thousand-year-old Fallen Immortal Grass? Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

The Mecha leaped into the air and flew straight into the fray.

Jiang Yan swept his Spiritual Power forward and also discovered the Fallen Immortal Grass, though he didn’t know its exact age.

Jiang Yan had read quite a few books and wasn’t the kind of clueless Newbie who knew nothing.

Legend had it that the Fallen Immortal Grass wasn’t an Immortal Plant but was formed from fragments of dark and ominous laws. A single stalk of Fallen Immortal Grass was far more valuable than painstakingly collecting law fragments.

For example, the Death Qi Jiang Yan needed had a chance of being found within the Fallen Immortal Grass.

The Martial Gods, Tenth Rank Transcendents, and Lyon Gaga fighting over it ahead likely also sought laws related to dark and ominous forces.

Ahead, after Lyon Gaga entered the battlefield in his God-grade Mecha, the atmosphere suddenly turned tense.

“Young Master of the Myriad Realms Company, we have no intention of offending the Myriad Realms Company. We ask that you refrain from interfering in our dispute!”

“Indeed, a battle between Tenth Rank experts can claim lives in an instant. Even if you possess a God-grade Mecha, you might still get bruised or injured. When that happens, don’t throw a Young Master’s tantrum.”

Although these Tenth Rank experts held some reservations about the Myriad Realms Company, their own statuses were equally noble. Wasting a Heaven-Defying opportunity like the Fallen Immortal Grass over a pampered young master was not something they wanted to see.

“Hahahaha, if you want to fight, then let’s fight! I, Lyon Gaga, will never use my status to bully others!”

The man inside the Mecha shouted loudly, clearly not the type of arrogant young master who relied on his influence to oppress others.

“Good! The Young Lord of the Myriad Realms truly lives up to his reputation!”

Upon hearing this, the experts immediately felt reassured and began competing for the Fallen Immortal Grass with all their might.

This world was far larger than the two Jiang Yan had previously stayed in, though the fragments of Laws around were sparse. Only the Fallen Immortal Grass at the edge of the world bloomed brilliantly.

“The Fallen Immortal Grass possesses immense corrosive power. Once it appears, not a single plant or tree within a radius of a million miles remains, and all Laws are drained dry by it.”

It is said that some modern Secret Realms that store Law fragments were designed based on the structure of the Fallen Immortal Grass.

Unfortunately, their effectiveness was minimal, as evidenced by how sparse the Laws were in the Secret Realms Jiang Yan had visited.

While observing from the shadows, a clash of Laws from the front happened to land on Jiang Yan. The Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit trembled slightly, exposing a trace of its Aura.

The battle of Martial Gods covered an extremely wide area, and Jiang Yan was not naive enough to think he could rely on the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit to toy with the Tenth Rank experts as he had when seizing the Origin Source last time.

“Heh, I didn’t expect there to be a rat trying to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.”

A pale-faced creature sneered and instantly cast a barrier, trapping Jiang Yan within it.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to draw the Myriad Soldier Talisman.

Since it had come to this, he would fight.

“With such a low Realm, you dare covet a treasure like the Fallen Immortal Grass?”

The pale-faced Transcendent closed in on Jiang Yan first, attacking him at a speed too fast to react to.

“So fast!”

That was Jiang Yan’s first thought.

Then, the long-unseen Trait finally showed its power.

[Truth of Desperation]

Jiang Yan reacted swiftly, condensing the War Ruins Engraving behind him.

Boom!

The engraving shattered, and amidst the explosion, Jiang Yan had already retreated ten thousand meters.

The pale-faced creature stared at its blackened hand, covered in dust and grime, then shook its body, causing debris to fall to the ground.

“Interesting, you actually have a way to break through my defense.”

“Could it be some kind of Advanced Law?”

The so-called Advanced Law was merely the mechanism of [Heaven Rewards Diligence] making contact with the Physical Body to break through defenses, an effect similar to [Weapon True Understanding].

Jiang Yan’s expression turned grim, for once the opponent realized he had a means to break through defenses, they would surely not give him another chance to make contact with their Physical Body.

Sure enough, ten layers of barriers rose before the pale-faced Transcendent, firmly protecting them within.

In battles between experts, a single probing move could reveal many of the opponent’s cards.

The pale-faced Transcendent seemed to have taken an interest in Jiang Yan, abandoning the competition for the Fallen Immortal Grass and charging straight toward him.

Teleportation.

“Sever Space!”

Under the 53% enhancement of the True Word Leveling Method, the pale-faced Transcendent paused, staring at Jiang Yan in astonishment.

“Two Laws?”

Clearly, the opponent had not seen through the four Laws Jiang Yan possessed at a glance, but that strange bird named Gu Jin…

“Hahahaha, fool, do you really think more Laws are better? Just wait until you hit the Tenth Rank Bottleneck—you’ll realize how foolish your current decision is!”

The white figure charged forward once more. “However, there’s no need to wait any longer. I shall send you to your grave right now!”

A white sphere, immense as a natural chasm, came crashing down toward Jiang Yan.
