“See for yourself.”
Moro pointed to the Space Dominus’ divine core and said with a smile, “His head was slashed open by his spatial greatsword just now. But it only took a little while for his head to regenerate as if nothing had happened to it.”
Meng Lei looked over, and the head was indeed restored as before. It was sleek and smooth without any visible scars.
“That’s freaky indeed,” Meng Lei exclaimed. “But there’ll always be a way.”
“You know a way to destroy the Space Dominus’ divine spirit?” Moro raised an eyebrow as he asked.
“We’ll know once I try.” Meng Lei chuckled and ordered, “System, plunder the Eternal Energy within the Space Dominus’ divine spirit.”
“Ding! Plundering target: Divine spirit of the Space Dominus. Target substance: Eternal Energy. Plundering cost is estimated at 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you plunder it?”
“...”
Meng Lei had an urge to curse badly.
I didn’t let you plunder the divine core of the Space Dominus in the first place just to cut my expenses, thinking that the price was too outrageous.
Now great, I had already extracted his divine spirit, and the price is still so outrageous. You’re bullying an honest man, aren’t you?
I would rather not kill the Space Dominus’ divine spirit and rather let him go than to spend so much money just to plunder this Eternal Energy!
“Ding! Will you plunder it?”
“Plunder it!”
Whoosh!
An inexplicable force from an unseen world enveloped the divine spirit of the Space Dominus as it began to extract the Eternal Energy from within. The Space Dominus did not struggle and scream...
Time was frozen for him after all.
After around two minutes, the Eternal Energy within the divine spirit seemed to be gone as the cue tone of the system rang. “Ding! You’ve obtained Eternal Energy. Will you assimilate it?”
“Assimilate it,” Meng Lei perked up, “Into my divine spirit!”
Whoosh!
Meng Lei had only just spoken when colorless and odorless energy that was lukewarm was injected into his divine spirit.
Immediately after, his divine spirit underwent unknown changes. No strengthening, no compressing as nothing could be felt. The entire process was like water diffusing into alcohol silently.
“That’s it? That’s the whole assimilation process? There was no feeling at all!”
Meng Lei shook his head slightly while pure, condensed energy rushed into his sea of consciousness and entered his divine spirit. It was only then that Meng Lei realized that the Grim Reaper’s Eye had already crushed the Space Dominus’ divine spirit...
“Ding! Space Dominus killed. 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals gained!”
Meng Lei smiled. Without Eternal Energy, the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was no longer imperishable, while the Grim Reaper’s Eye had done its job.
“This Eternal Energy is indeed dramatically good!
“But, I didn’t expect that I could obtain 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals from killing him.”
2 Supreme Divinity Crystals equaled 20,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, after all.
It did not just cover the 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals he had spent, but there were also another 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals. He struck another fortune this time.
Meng Lei swept a glance at his stats interface.
Wealth: 22,709 trillion Divinity Crystals
“22,000 Divinity Crystals will be enough to comprehend the life, destruction, and death laws of nature. Killing is the one and only way to get rich!”
Meng Lei remarked as he kept the divine core and divine body of the Space Dominus.
He placed the divine core together with the other 11 Chief God divine cores while the divine body got thrown to the little golden tree in the Tower of Time.
If it was any other divine body, Meng Lei could not care less. However, the Space Dominus’ divine body was different as it contained Eternal Energy. He wanted to know whether this mysterious ‘little’ tree could devour Eternal Energy.
After devouring countless bodies of deities, it had grown into a big golden tree. Branches flourished from the tree, as the golden tree was like a luxurious art piece that emanated an aura of class.
Swoosh!
Upon sensing the presence of the Space Dominus’ divine body, the golden tree’s roots started to move over.
Stab, stab, stab.
The roots easily penetrated the indestructible divine body of the Space Dominus and started to absorb its life essence.
A Juggernaut-class divine body would naturally contain a massive amount of life essence as the golden tree absorbed and grew at a visible speed.
110 meters, 120 meters, 130 meters...
At the same time, the Space Dominus’ divine body dried up at a visible speed as well.
After around ten minutes, the body had become a piece of dried-up skin which dissipated into the air when a slight wind blew.
“The Space Dominus’ divine body is gone just like that? Isn’t it imperishable and absolutely eternal? What about the Eternal Energy within?”
Meng Lei looked dazed as he knew how great the defense of that divine body was—ignoring the fact that the golden tree could penetrate the body with ease, what happened to Eternal Energy and its special characteristic of indestructibility?
Nothing!
Nothing at all!
Or rather, it became useless.
“Why is the divine body of the Space Dominus no different from the bodies of other deities in front of the little golden tree?”
Meng Lei was getting increasingly curious about the background of the golden tree. It was a pity that no one could answer him, and he could only find it out himself.
“Never mind, I’ll look into it later.”
Meng Lei left the Tower of Time and gave orders to the system.
“System, buy credit for the life laws of nature.”
“System, buy credit for the destruction laws of nature.”
“System, buy credit for the death laws of nature.”
Chapter 410: Fully Comprehending Them All, The Three Juggernauts Make Their Appearance
Buying credit for three types of supreme laws of nature one after another drained Meng Lei of 15,000 trillion Divinity Crystals right away. However, the move brought about an extremely astonishing effect.
Meng Lei’s field of view was currently filled with endless laws of nature chains.
There were purplish-red chains that represented destruction laws of nature; ghastly white chains that represented death laws of nature; jade-green chains that represented life laws of nature; and of course, golden chains that represented time-based laws of nature, and bright silver chains that represented spatial laws of nature.
Apart from these, there were also chains formed by the ten basic laws of nature. They were derived from the five supreme laws of nature, but compared to the supreme laws of nature chains themselves, the basic laws of nature chains were just like fireflies beside the radiant, blazing sun or little lakes at the edges of the vast ocean...
They weren’t in the same league at all!
These supreme laws of nature chains correlated well with one another and also combined with one another in an extremely harmonious manner. They filled up every corner of the vast universe, reigning over the almost boundless universe itself.
Meng Lei’s gaze swept across the area quickly. These incomparably mysterious, profound, complex, and abstruse supreme laws of nature that—despite exhausting countless years of research on them—even the Supreme Juggernauts found hard to fully understand were, however, clearly visible to Meng Lei.
The meaning behind every chain segment and the profoundness of each chain—they were all as simple as 1+1=2 to him. They held no secrets at all.
It was no exaggeration to say that in this very instant where Meng Lei fully and thorough
ly comprehended the five supreme laws of nature, it was as if the vast universe had become a naked young lady in his eyes—all of its secrets had been revealed!
In fact... Meng Lei could even see the powers of supreme laws of nature!
At the “tail” of every supreme laws of nature chain was a mysterious dimension filled with an endless mist made up of five different colors—soft, gentle golden mist; dazzling bright silver mist; jade-green mist brimming with life and vigor; purplish-red mist filled with the aura of destruction; and ghastly white mist containing an endless amount of aura of death.
This was another undying substance that corresponded to supreme laws of nature—the Power of Supreme Laws of Nature.
As long as Meng Lei wanted to, he could, at any time, mobilize and use these supreme laws of nature and Power of Supreme Laws of Nature to battle, modify, enhance...
“Supreme laws of nature! And Power of Supreme Laws of Nature!”
Meng Lei heaved a long, drawn-out sigh. Astonishment and marvel filled his eyes as he remarked, “These are two types of undying substances! Undying substances that I can totally mobilize and use!”
Mobilizing and using undying substances—what kind of concept was that?
Perhaps Meng Lei wouldn’t have understood in the past, but after chatting about so much with Moro, how would he possibly not understand what mobilizing undying substances meant?
It meant that he could extract these two types of undying substances to modify his divine body and divine spirit. This way, he would attain an immortal soul and an immortal divine body, thereby safely surviving the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process...
“What exactly are you doing, kid?”
Moro’s anxious voice rang out beside his ear at this point. He chided, “The three Juggernauts are already on their way here to kill you, yet you’re still spacing out? Are you tired of living?!”
Meng Lei snapped back to reality with a start to see anxiety all over Moro’s visage.
“What’s the matter, Moro?”
Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Goddamn it, you’ve finally come to!”
Moro heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he barked, “Spread your senses and feel it for yourself. The three Juggernauts have already marched straight to the Earth Divine Realm. Hurry up and flee!”
“They are already here?”
Meng Lei slightly spread his senses into the surroundings, upon which he indeed sensed three incredibly fearsome auras. Deep as a chasm and bottomless like the ocean, their auras were in no way inferior to the Space Dominus’. On top of that, there were also about 100 other slightly weaker auras around those three auras—those were the auras of almost 100 Chief Gods.
“Tsk, tsk! They’re finally here!” The corners of Meng Lei’s lips curled upward as he commented, “They’ve kept me waiting for so long!”
“What are you spacing out here for? Hurry and run!”
Upon seeing Meng Lei standing idly on the spot like a wooden block, Moro became so anxious that he barked, “That’s three Juggernauts teaming up with almost 100 Chief Gods! You have no chance of winning at all. Hurry up and run! Otherwise, you’ll be dead meat for sure!”
“Run?”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly. “That’s nothing more than just three Juggernauts. They aren’t qualified enough to make me run upon hearing about their arrivals yet.”
“You won’t be able to fight a mob by yourself, kid!”
Moro berated him. “Perhaps you can kill a Juggernaut when they are alone, but there’s no comparing that with the joint destructive power of three Juggernauts and 100 Chief Gods. How can you resist them when you’re just a lone person? Hurry up and run instead. Where’s there’s life, there’s hope!”
“Save your breath, Moro.”
Meng Lei shook his head with a smile and said, “Be it three Juggernauts or a hundred, they are but just people who enjoy a reputation unwarranted by any real skill. My strength is far beyond what you can imagine!”
Exasperated at Meng Lei’s response, Moro said, “You’ve become too full of yourself, kid. To think you don’t even think much of the three great Juggernauts anymore!”
“You’ll see whether or not I’ve become too full of myself or not later!”
Meng Lei gave him a smile and said no more.
“Fine, I’ll wait and see, then!”
...
The three Juggernauts and Chief Gods that numbered almost a hundred of them moved at the same time. Moreover, they didn’t bother concealing the force of their presence at all. Thus, the resulting aura was naturally incomparably fearsome.
Everywhere they passed by, innumerable deities were left unable to even lift their heads in their wake. Their presence also alarmed innumerable experts, causing a great furor to go through the Earth Divine Realm.
“W-what fearsome pressure and might!
“What kind of experts are those, exactly?!”
“All of them must at least be Great Perfection deities!”
“Great Perfection? Even Chief Gods aren’t as powerful as that!”
Even though they couldn’t teleport in the Earth Divine Realm, the three Juggernauts and Chief Gods nevertheless moved at high speeds that far exceeded that of any other expert there.
A few hours later, they finally arrived in the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.
“They’re finally here!”
Meng Lei slowly got up, a hint of a smile surfacing in his eyes as he gazed at the three Juggernauts and close to a hundred Chief Gods making their grand appearances.
Dressed in purplish-red robes, the Destruction Dominus had a head of long purplish-red hair and a pair of purplish-red eyes. The aura of destruction surged powerfully around him. It soundlessly wrecked the void around him, causing a barely-discernible black hole to form.
The Death Dominus was a skinny, haggard-looking elderly man. Hunched over and trembling all over, it seemed like even a gust of wind could knock him off his feet.
The Life Dominus was a raving beauty. Her long jade-green hair cascaded like a waterfall. There was a strong air of exuberance and vitality around her, and she gave off a rich aura of vitality and vigor.
The three Juggernauts’ stately and dignified gazes immediately fell onto Meng Lei the moment they appeared, looking up and down as if they were trying to see through him.
“Where’s the Space Dominus, knave?”
Killing intent showed in the Life Dominus’ eyes, and she gravely barked a question at Meng Lei. Her voice was originally very light and gentle, much like the March spring breeze that refreshed and invigorated one’s senses.
But in this instant, all everyone could feel was just an iciness that chilled one to the bones welling up in their hearts, and they couldn’t help but shiver. Her voice was simply too cold.
“The Space Dominus? I’ve killed him,” replied Meng Lei simply.
“What did you just say?”
“You’ve... You’ve killed him?”
Meng Lei had answered casually as if he were just touching on the subject lightly, but his words were no less impactful than a nuclear bomb explosion. They set off frightful billows and raging waves in the Juggernauts’ and Chief Gods’ hearts.
Who was the Space Dominus?
That was one of the four great Juggernauts of the vast universe! He was someone that truly stood at the very pinnacle of power in the whole of the universe! How could he possibly have died?
“Don’t talk rubbish, knave.”
The Life Dominus said coldly, “Not only is the Space Dominus immortal and undying, but he also wields the power of spatial laws of nature. Even if he is no match for you, he can very well leave easily. No one in the whole world can kill him!”
The Destruction Dominus, the Death Dominus, and the Chief Gods nodded. If one must pick someone among the four Juggernauts as the one who was the hardest to kill, it would be the Space Dominus.
He had comprehended spatial laws
of nature and could easily cross a distance of endless light-years with a single teleport. His ability to flee for his life was undoubtedly the strongest in the world. Killing him?
Not even the three Juggernauts could do it even if they were to team up!
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is that all of you are going to die!”
Chapter 411: Time Prison, The Power of Destruction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Strong gusts of cold winds blew. An exceedingly stifling atmosphere filled the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.
The three great Juggernauts from the supreme Celestial Realm and the 134 Chief Gods from the ten Divine Realms stood proudly in the air. Every one of them gave off a strong, surging aura that seemed as deep as the abyss and as bottomless as the oceans. Opposite them stood Meng Lei, a lone man.
On one side were the three great Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods, while on the other was Meng Lei!
Judging from the lineup alone, the two parties were in two completely different leagues. There was no comparability between the two at all.
Anyone would be scared witless and lose every ounce of battle spirit if they were surrounded by the three Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods, yet Meng Lei was calm and collected, his demeanor light and casual. It was as if he wasn’t facing the three great Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods but a bunch of cats and dogs instead.
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not,” Meng Lei waved lightly and said, “What matters is that all of you are about to die!”
“Die?”
The three Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods were mildly taken aback for a moment when they heard Meng Lei’s words, but soon after, they let out contemptuous scoffs of laughter as looks of disdain and mockery came over their faces.
The Death Dominus cackled, his voice incredibly hoarse and ear-piercing. He said, “Kid, I don’t know what you’ve done to the Space Dominus, but... Killing us? Are you still in your dreams?”
