Chapter 2872 Divine Rank Law

That same day, at the southeast region of Heaven Demon Realm, tribulation clouds swarmed the skies as lightning poured from the heavens, filling the area with the aura of destruction.

In the air, Ji Shanhai fought the tribulation lightning with picturesque grace and an almost divine demeanor. Despite her gradually accumulating wounds, her expression remained calm as ever, while her presence grew increasingly vast and powerful. Although she was a woman, she fought with the grandeur of one who ruled over heaven and the earth!

Four hours later, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and Ji Shanhai successfully reached the Transcendence Stage. In contrast to Yuan Changtian's pitiful post-tribulation appearance, she had maintained her usual unparalleled elegance until the final moment. She was simply in a different class than him.

Similarly, she also sensed the mysterious opportunity— a complete Divine Rank law power had been born in the Heaven Demon Realm! However, she didn’t move right away. After all, she had just entered a new realm and needed to first stabilize her cultivation.

"Everyone, be at ease and meditate. Here, your chances to prove your dao and ascend to the next realm is thirty percent higher than the outside world." Ji Shanhai offhandedly reminded the others before she sat down to meditate.

......

Rumble!

Heaven and earth trembled as the tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. Upon seeing that Elder Li Zhen had successfully broken through to the next realm, Lin Xun couldn't help but smile and cup his hands together. "Elder, congratulations on your success!"

Although Li Zhen looked exhausted and his clothes were in tatters, he couldn't hide his joy as he replied, "Lin Xun, the Heaven Demon Realm is indeed different from the outside world. It feels as if you’re being blessed by heaven and earth during your cultivation breakthrough!"

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Ultimately, it's still due to Elder’s strong foundation. Your success is only to be expected."

Li Zhen couldn’t help but chuckle before he sat down to meditate. Meanwhile, Lin Xun, who had witnessed the entire tribulation process, fell into deep thought.

Blessed by heaven and earth?

If so, it would mean that cultivating here in the Heaven Demon Realm would give one a much greater chance of ascending to the next stage than the outside world!

Soon after, he shook his head. How could he not feel envious after seeing Li Zhen achieve a breakthrough? However, Lin Xun also understood his own path and knew that he couldn’t rush things.

One shouldn’t force things nor be lazy. Instead, one should pursue diligence and allow one’s hard work to gradually accumulate while maintaining a calm mindset.

Lin Xun took out a divine law fragment and resumed his cultivation. Over the past few days, he had refined three divine law fragments, and personally experienced how wondrous they were. Not only did they consolidate and polish one's cultivation, but they were also incredibly effective in tempering one’s immortal law.

In fact, his immortal law seemed to have acquired some hints of artistic charm belonging to the Nirvana law! After stepping into the Heavenly Longevity Stage, his immortal law had essentially been derived from the Nirvana law. At present, his immortal law had grown unbelievably strong, far surpassing others in the same realm.

However, it was only recently, after refining the divine law fragments, that his immortal law began to exhibit some of the artistic charm belonging to the Nirvana law. This change surprised Lin Xun and gave him a bold idea.

When his immortal law became more similar to the Nirvana law, would he be able to completely refine the Nirvana law? For this reason, he tirelessly refined the divine law fragments day and night.

As a result, he also grew increasingly unconcerned about achieving a cultivation breakthrough in the Heaven Demon Realm.

A few days later, Li Zhen had completely consolidated his cultivation. Upon seeing this, Lin Xun immediately said, "Elder, don’t worry about me and go find the complete Divine Rank law power. Such an opportunity cannot be allowed to fall into Yuan Changtian's hands."

Li Zhen hesitantly said, "But if Yuan Changtian..."

Lin Xun interrupted with a smile, "For someone like him, a complete Divine Rank law power is far more important than dealing with me. Moreover, I still have the Seal of Temporal Restriction, so I won’t be afraid even if he does come."

Li Zhen nodded and turned to leave, while Lin Xun closed his eyes again and continued to cultivate. He was completely focused on refining the divine law fragment.

......

Several days went by.

Two months had passed after the Heaven Demon Realm had first opened.

Amidst the towering mountains at the central region...

Rumble!

A fist-sized, shining bronze seal hovered in the air, emanating unimaginable supreme power as if it represented the majesty of the heavens. Heaven and earth trembled, while the mountains and rivers quivered, making it seem as if all things were displaying their submission!

Its aura was simply terrifying, and the sprinkling light from it revealed the essence of the grand dao. It was as if the seal was the sole ruler of this land.

"A complete Divine Rank law!"

Yuan Changtian's heart filled with unprecedented excitement at this scene.

As someone from the Eternal Divine Yuan Clan of the Ninth Heaven Domain, he had been comprehending the mysteries of Divine Rank laws since young. How could he not recognize that the fist-sized bronze seal was the Divine Rank law power born in the Heaven Demon Realm?

"I, Yuan Changtian, am the first to find you, you are destined to belong to me!" He took several deep breaths to compose himself, restraining the excitement and fervor in his heart.

Unlike other law powers, brute force wasn’t enough to subdue a Divine Rank law. A cultivator needed to first match and resonate with it through their heart, will, and cultivation, and obtain its approval before they could take it away!

Yuan Changtian naturally understood better than most how to subdue a Divine Rank law. He quickly cast aside all distractions and quietly released his cultivation, heart, and will, attempting to sense and resonate with the bronze seal’s aura.

Moments later, however, he couldn't help but frown. He had already shown everything he had, but was blocked by its law aura whenever he tried to connect with it.

Could the method taught by the clan elder be wrong?

His expression flickered with uncertainty.

Before entering the Ten Directions Demon Domain, Yuan Xiliu had given him a jade slip. The jade slip contained a secret method passed down by an Eternal Stage elder of the Eternal Divine Yuan Clan, and detailed how to connect and resonate with a divine law through one’s aura, heart, and will.

However, it failed.

Yuan Changtian mulled over it for quite some time. In the end, he took a deep breath and banished all distractions until his mind was completely cleared out and spotless. Only then did he continue his attempt.

After several more attempts, his expression darkened.

It’s still not working!

How can this be?

A hint of irritation arose in his heart. The greatest opportunity in the Ten Directions Demon Realm was right before him, yet he couldn't obtain its approval and take it away. This was practically the cruelest torment in the world.

After a long time, Yuan Changtian decided to try once more. He cut off all desires and thoughts, entering a state of pure focus.

At that moment, however, a clear yet ethereal voice rang out, "You won’t be able to take it no matter how much you try."

Yuan Changtian's expression changed slightly. When he turned his head, he saw Ji Shanhai approaching from far away like a fairy descending from the heavens, her simple wide-sleeved dress fluttering around her.

Yuan Changtian smiled and said, "It's Miss Shanhai."

However, his heart sank, realizing that the situation had become problematic.

"You’d best leave now if you still want to maintain relations." Ji Shanhai's clear eyes glanced at Yuan Changtian before turning to the bronze seal floating in the air.

His eyes flickered in thought as he said, "Miss Shanhai, although I’m not talented, I won’t give up just like that. Moreover, if a fight does break out between you and me, it will only allow others to take advantage of the situation."

Ji Shanhai asked, "Are you referring to Wen Qiaoshui and Cang Fufeng?"

Yuan Changtian didn’t deny it. "Indeed, given the current situation, the longer time drags on, the more competitors there will be. When that happens, it will be difficult for any of us to obtain this opportunity."

Ji Shanhai's lips curled into a small smile. She said, "They aren’t coming."

The lighthearted declaration made Yuan Changtian's pupils shrink. He quickly forced a smile and said, "Miss Shanhai, don't joke around. I know full-well about their capabilities. No matter who it is, the chances of beating either of them isn’t high."

Ji Shanhai couldn't help but sigh before she said, "It seems that you really know nothing. If you’re so insistent on waiting for someone to come disrupt the situation even more, then go ahead and keep waiting here. However, I might as well tell you that the longer you wait, the more disadvantageous it will become for you."

Yuan Changtian frowned slightly as uncertainty arose in his heart. He tried to probe, "So, is Miss Shanhai determined to obtain this opportunity?"

Unexpectedly, she shook her head. "Someone needs it more than I do."

"Who?" Yuan Changtian was surprised.

Ji Shanhai casually answered, "Lin Xun."

Yuan Changtian’s eyes widened, almost unable to believe his ears. "Lin Xun!? Miss Shanhai can’t be planning to hand over this opportunity to him, right?"

"Why not?" Ji Shanhai asked back as if it were the most reasonable thing in the world.

Yuan Changtian could no longer keep his composure and said, "Miss Shanhai, this joke isn’t funny at all. Lin Xun is a disciple of Fangchun Mountain. You can’t be unaware that his master, the Lord of Fangchun Mountain, isn’t welcome in the Ninth Heaven Domain, right?"

Ji Shanhai nonchalantly replied, "What does his master have to do with me?"

Yuan Changtian nearly went crazy.

What do you mean by what does that have to do with you?!

Ji Shanhai thoughtfully remarked, "Speaking of which, you and Lin Xun are both from the Origin Sect. You should be happy for him that I’m willing to hand it over."

The corners of Yuan Changtian's mouth twitched violently, feeling so frustrated that he wanted to cough blood.

Happy for Lin Xun?

Happy my foot!

If it weren't for the strong mental fortitude he had cultivated over the years, Yuan Changtian would have already cursed out loud. What virtue and ability did Lin Xun have to make him qualified to have such an opportunity?

However, from Ji Shanhai's expression, it didn't seem like she was lying, which made Yuan Changtian feel even more uneasy. He said, "Miss Shanhai, are you certain you want to do this? This is a Divine Rank law, a treasure beyond measure even for the clans behind us..."

Ji Shanhai interjected, "I’m certain, but you’re clearly reluctant. Since that’s the case, there's no need to beat around the bush any more, why don't we fight right here and now?"

It was impossible for her to be more straightforward or blunt. Yuan Changtian was speechless as his expression changed indeterminately. Although he wasn't confident in facing Ji Shanhai, he was confident that he would be able to hold out for quite some time if he didn't retreat!

He took a deep breath and was about to say something, only to be interrupted by the sounds of something rapidly approaching from a distance.
