Chapter 398: Chapter 293: Comprehending the Blood and Slaughter Laws, Sacrifice

When the Blood Law within the True Intent Immortal Fruit was activated, the Blood Demon Curse in Su Yu’s soul was also triggered and manifested.

The Blood Dao Law contained in the Law Immortal Fruit surged into the Blood Demon Curse, perfectly merging with the blood mark within the curse, instantly drowning his soul in blood. An infinite mystery related to the Blood Law spontaneously appeared from thin air.

When these laws and mysteries reached a certain level of fusion, the Blood Law was automatically comprehended.

After refining one True Intent Immortal Fruit of the Blood Law, Su Yu immediately took out another True Intent Immortal Fruit of the Slaughter Law to continue refining.

Just like the previous refining of the Blood Law Immortal Fruit, infinite mysteries of the Slaughter Law surged and poured into the Blood Demon Curse. Once the Law Immortal Fruit was fully refined, the Slaughter Law was naturally mastered.

When the Blood Law and the Slaughter Law were completely mastered, the demonic nature hidden in the curse was evoked. An invisible force steadily controlled his soul, now transformed into that of a Blood Demon, twisting and changing. His body and soul synchronized, turning entirely scarlet as blood seeped from his pores, exuding a terrifying aura that made hearts clench.

At this moment, Vast Sea appeared behind him and embraced him, enveloping them both with a Magical Robe woven from the currents of countless laws.

Substantial spiritual light rained down, submerging Su Yu, infiltrating his body, sweeping over his sea of consciousness like a tide. The omnipresent Blood and Slaughter Laws were suppressed by a more powerful Power of Law.

Vast Sea couldn’t remove the Blood Demon Curse from his soul, but suppressing the demonic nature erupting from it was no problem.

No matter how strong Su Yu was, he couldn’t surpass the will of an innate Demon God. The demonic nature was tightly suppressed by Vast Sea, unable to explode.

At this point, Su Yu came back to his senses, took out the Blood Law Immortal Fruit and the Slaughter Law Immortal Fruit, and refined them one by one again.

With the refinement of each one, Blood Law +1, Slaughter Law +1, and successfully controlling two Divine Techniques: Blood Body and Slaughter Heart.

Through such repetitions, the mastery of both laws continuously improved, which in turn spawned new Divine Techniques.

After approximately two incense sticks of time, having refined all the Blood Law Immortal Fruits, his Blood Law was +8 and Slaughter Law was +6.

Blood Manipulation, Life Drain, Blood Transformation, Blood Fury

Slaughter Sword Intent, Slaughter Feast.

When both laws reached this level, the power of the Blood Demon Curse also grew significantly. But as long as it didn’t exceed +10, Vast Sea could easily suppress it.

"The next step is sacrifice."

Su Yu took a deep breath, slowly closing his eyes.

"Supreme Immortal Treasure Peerless List!"

He decisively used an enlightenment opportunity he gained from being on the Supreme List, borrowing the Human Race’s fortune for protection, directly sacrificing the Blood Law and Slaughter Law to the Law of Time.

Before he comprehended the Blood Law and Slaughter Law, the Blood Demon Curse entangled his soul, making it difficult to separate.

But once he successfully mastered the Blood Law and Slaughter Law, the curse matured and bore fruit.

Under normal circumstances, if left uncontrolled, he would be engulfed by blood and slaughter, turning into a creature of pure carnage.

Even if he managed to control it, he would gradually descend into becoming a demon.

But the person who cast the curse never imagined that Su Yu could find a protector with mastery of laws rivaling that of an immortal, like Vast Sea, nor did they foresee his ability to join the Supreme List and gain the Human Race’s protective fortune.

With various factors combined, he could maintain his self amidst the curse’s maturation.

Upon enlightenment, he controlled the mature curse, offering it alive as a sacrifice to the Law of Time.

Waves of mysterious vibrations of law spread out from him, showing three light spheres in his sea of consciousness. The two below represented the Blood and Slaughter Laws, continuously fracturing into shimmering fragments that ascended and were absorbed by the Time Law light sphere suspended in the depths of Su Yu’s sea of consciousness.

Countless star-like lights steadily descended from above, constantly attracted and merging into the Time Law light sphere.

Meanwhile, deep within Su Yu’s True Spirit, where his awareness couldn’t reach, that rarely manifesting Undying Spiritual Light ignited once more, with luminous streams occasionally descending and merging into the Time Law.

As time passed, the light spheres representing the Blood and Slaughter Laws shrank, while the light sphere representing the Time Law expanded.

Until both the Blood and Slaughter Laws were completely absorbed and no more stars fell from above, leaving only the Time Law light sphere suspended in mid-air, at level +21.

"Hiss, how did this increase so much?"

Su Yu, upon awakening and seeing this scene, was astounded.

Law comprehension has a bottleneck every 10 levels, with power increasing the further you go. Previously, the Time Law was at +10; the culmination of 8 levels of Blood Law and 6 levels of Slaughter Law should logically equate to an increase of at most +3. Even with the boost from enlightenment, it should only reach +5 at best.

Yet now it’s increased by 11 levels, directly surpassing the 20-level threshold. This is simply outrageous.

"Could it be the Golden Finger acted again?"

This is the only explanation.

Setting aside indecision when facing unforeseen events, Su Yu, after less than three seconds of hesitation, ceased pondering on these matters and immediately focused on the panel, eager to see the great changes wrought by another advancement of the Time Law.

"Tip: Your mastery of the Time Law is +15, comprehending the Divine Technique—Time Domain."

"Temporal Divine Technique—Time Domain: Enclose a 3-kilometer diameter zone in an absolutely static time domain, lasting 12 seconds. During this period, all units within the domain, except you, cannot make any movements. All your attacks and spell effects will be time-frozen, accumulating until the domain ends and they are settled as one."

"Mana Cost: 100,000 points, Cooldown Time: 30 days."

"Tip: For every +5 points beyond the current Time Law level of +20, the Time Domain duration increases by 1 second."

"Tip: Your mastery of the Time Law is +20, comprehending the Temporal Divine Technique—Law Suppression."

"Temporal Divine Technique—Law Suppression: Suppresses opponents whose law grade and level are inferior to one’s own, weakening their law effects."

New mastery of two powerful Divine Techniques.

Moreover, the power of the existing Swordsmanship and Divine Techniques based on the Law of Time has all been enhanced, and the enhancement from Law of Time +20 compared to +10 has upgraded by one major tier, with a substantial increase in power.

Time Sword - Overdraft Future (Dao Foundation): Utilize the power of time to borrow strength from the future, increase attack power and attack speed by 3,000,000, last for 135 seconds, mana consumption of 50,000, cooldown time of 15 days.

For every +1 based on the current Law of Time +20, attacks increase by 200,000, duration increases by 5 seconds.

Time Sword - Temporal Erosion (Dao Foundation): Utilize the power of time to intercept the target’s lifespan, intercepting 1000 years within the same realm, varies with the difference in power between the two sides, mana consumption of 50,000, cooldown time of 24 hours.

For every +1 based on the current Law of Time +20, the basic lifespan interception increases by 50 years.

Time Sword - Instant Time (Dao Foundation): Allows one’s state to return to any node 1050 seconds ago, mana consumption of 50,000, cooldown time of 24 hours.

For every +1 based on the current Law of Time +20, time reversal increases by 50 seconds.

Time Sword - Time Stagnation (Dao Foundation): A sword sets sight on time, suspending for 8-24 seconds, mana consumption of 30,000, cooldown time of 24 hours.

For every +5 based on the current Law of Time +20, suspension time increases by 2-6 seconds.

Time Divine Technique - Manipulate Time: Able to step along the river of time, striking targets 63 minutes before or after, mana consumption of 100,000, cooldown time of 10 days.

For every +1 based on the current Law of Time +20, maximum strike time increases by 3 minutes.

Time Divine Technique - Step Time: By stepping on the river of time, becoming Immune to All Skill, invincible for 5 seconds, in this state refreshing all skill cooldowns, cooldown time of 30 days.

For every +5 based on the current Law of Time +20, invincibility time increases by 1 second.

"Excellent!"

Without leveling up, merely the mastery of the laws has greatly increased the power of various Swordsmanship and Divine Techniques.

With Temporal Erosion, now within the same realm, a single sword can cut a lifespan of 1000 years, basically able to instantly defeat those below Earth Immortal.

"So powerful."

"From now on, focusing on mastering laws, this is the true path."

"Oh right, there’s a chance to rise in the Heavenly List, can obtain a heavenly skill and one enlightenment opportunity."

Closing the panel, Su Yu turned around and hugged Vast Sea, remaining silent for a long time.

One day later, Su Yu and Qingchan returned from East Polar City to the main city of Zhongyuan, sending Qingchan back to Zhongyuan Mountain, while he left Blue Mountain.

Next, he needs to prepare betrothal gifts and decided to make a trip back to Blue Mountain.

Before returning, he first canceled the message sent back to the sect via Heaven-Reaching Commerce Association, actions too swift that the message hadn’t been delivered yet, then directly used a Teleportation Divine Talisman worth 10,000 gold to teleport back to the sect.

Back in the sect, Su Yu met with the Sect Leader and explained the situation of the Luo family in Zhongyuan Mountain.

Five Celestial Immortals in one family caught the Sect Leader’s attention.

"The alliance between the Dao Son and the Luo family of Zhongyuan, the sect must certainly express itself."

After a brief contemplation, the Sect Leader brought out a Tier Ten Treasure.

Su Yu immediately knelt down:

"Disciple thanks the Sect Leader!"

After leaving the Sect Leader, Su Yu met with his mentor, who also promised support.

Then, he returned to Ten Thousand Poison Island, announced his marriage, and listed a gift list, handing it to Gu Zhiqiu for preparation.

Betrothal gifts aren’t merely about higher value; their variety is extremely diverse, making long-established families even more complex.

Su Yu was unfamiliar with this and especially sought professional advice, following a checklist for preparation.

Su Yu stayed in Blue Mountain for two months, then left with numerous items, using the Heaven Ying Immortal Mansion’s inherent Great Transposition ability to teleport directly to the main city of Zhongyuan.

A month later, Junior General Han Zhuofei arrived and congratulated him on making it onto the Supreme List at their first meeting.

He was very willing to be the matchmaker invited by Su Yu and quickly entered the role, visiting the main lineage of the Luo family the next day.

For the following matters, Su Yu didn’t need to worry, only waiting for the wedding day to come.

Six months later, his mentor personally led fellow disciples to the mainland of Divine Land, while Su Yu returned to East Wilderness Clear Water River, inviting his long-cultivating parents, siblings, and relatives out from the Sea Suppressing Realm, preparing them for their first Great Celestial Tribulation.

Each person receives a mouthful of Jade Nectar, innate attributes +3, Qi and Blood mana limit +10,000.

This one mouthful attribute increase is extremely impressive for lower-level Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

Additionally, with his recent return to Blue Mountain, he brought back a total of five hundred six-tier treasures, besides using some as cannon fodder during the tribulation, the rest given to his big brother to establish a guild.

Having prepared everything, his father began the tribulation first.

A few minutes later, Su Yu looked up at the pathetically small tribulation clouds, revealing a knowing smile.

"Lucky indeed!"
