Chapter 768: Miraculous Law: Life Within Death, Death Within Life

The Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal can enhance the soul tier, but that is only one of its effects, and not even the primary one.

The greatest function of the Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal is to refine soul power, making the soul power exceedingly pure.

At the same level, a single point of soul power can produce several times the effect of others.

For those with outstanding talent, this effect is more useful than raising the soul tier.

Jiang Chen, while comprehending the law, has his soul body also changing to adapt to the law.

This change is marvelous; the soul power is strengthening, just like the experience soul power gained from leveling and monster‑hunting.

Jiang Chen's level is also gradually climbing.

Although it cannot match Sweep the Dragon Race, it is still decent, winning in stability.

As long as Jiang Chen's insight continues, the increase of soul power will not cease.

In the blink of an eye, a month passes, this one

month, Jiang Chen's heart has completely calmed down.

The aura throughout his body becomes exceedingly tranquil; during the recent period of relentless mass slaughter, Jiang Chen has already tried his best to stay calm.

The generated killing intent was also Absorbed by the Domain Godstone, yet it still caused some effects to varying degrees.

These effects made his state of mind ripple, never able to become fully tranquil.

Killing intent entered the soul, and even the Domain Godstone could not Absorb it away.

It also made him feel fatigue, which even Divine Power could not erase.

Jiang Chen knows his condition; after ending the slaughter, he went to the White God Courtyard.

He rested peacefully in the tranquil White God Courtyard for a day, temporarily stepping away from the killing.

Yet a single night of rest cannot completely smooth out the side effects brought by the slaughter.

Until now, the last trace of killing intent flew out from the depths of the soul, then was taken away by the Domain Godstone.

The Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal Absorbed Jiang Chen's soul power, then spat the refined soul power back.

With the combined action of the Domain Godstone and the Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal, the internal and external synergy finally made his state of mind and soul completely calm.

Antares sensed Jiang Chen's aura shift, awakening from a shallow triumph.

"Not bad, not bad, calming down so quickly." Not knowing how the law comprehension turned out, he went to see.

Antares carefully entered Jiang Chen's soul world.

It saw Jiang Chen's soul body, seated upright at the center of the soul world, like a deity.

In the center of the two Magic Class systems—skeleton type and summoning type—where the law manifests, there are two Clones.

These two Clones split from the soul body, bearing Jiang Chen's will.

They are observing the manifested law, comprehending its profundities.

"You stinky kid, you actually multitasked, using the soul‑splitting method to comprehend simultaneously."

Antares was both amused and exasperated, unsure whether to praise Jiang Chen for his cleverness or scold him for his reckless audacity.

Others comprehend the law with full concentration,

but none multitask like Jiang Chen does to comprehend.

In this way, efficiency not only fails to improve, it may even drop, perhaps yielding no comprehension at all.

The soul world suddenly emitted a faint chime, trembling slightly, as Jiang Chen's soul body opened its eyes toward Antares, "Did you wake up?"

Antares replied irritably, "Yeah, you stinky kid, how did you think of using the soul‑splitting method to multitask and comprehend the law?"

Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Is that not allowed?"

Antares hummed, "That's inefficient. It's been a month already; tell me whether you've grasped anything." Jiang Chen shook his head, "I can't put it into words." Antares was slightly taken aback; indeed, the comprehension of the law cannot be expressed verbally.

If it could be put into words, it could be compiled into a book, and later generations would just copy the predecessors instead of truly comprehending.

The insight into the law is personal, unable to be conveyed to outsiders.

Antares thought for a moment, "Then did you gain anything?"

Jiang Chen pondered briefly, "I have some gain, but not yet to the point of being usable."

"Then tell me, how did you think of multitasking?"

Jiang Chen said, "At first I wasn't multitasking; I first tried to comprehend the summoning‑type law, and got nothing."

"Later I turned to the skeleton‑type law, also with no gain."

"Regardless of which law I try to comprehend, I feel something missing." Antares was slightly taken aback, "Missing something?"

It recalled its own previous attempt to comprehend the Immortality Law, which yielded nothing.

Now that I think about it, indeed there were some gaps.

Jiang Chen continued, "Moreover, the two types of law, though seemingly similar, give me different impressions."

"So I tried multitasking, comprehending them together, and the effect turned out quite well."

Antares stared wide‑eyed at the law manifestation within the Multi‑Star Art, muttering, "Impossible, these two laws look exactly identical."

In his perception, these two laws have no distinction; they are identical.

From the start, Jiang Chen named them the Immortality Law, meaning a law belonging to the Immortal world.

Jiang Chen said, "They look the same, but internally they differ."

"Both are Immortality Laws; the skeleton‑type Immortality Law contains more dead qi, with only a faint spark of life, whereas the summoning‑type Immortality Law contains more life, yet also carries a trace of dead qi."

As he spoke, the soul body lifted a finger and drew a figure: a Yin‑Yang Bagua.

Antares said, "That is the Yin‑Yang Bagua, a symbol of your Human Race."

Jiang Chen said, "The Immortality Law feels like this: one death, one life, representing one Yin and one Yang."

Then life contains death, death contains life, like the two dots in the Yin‑Yang Bagua.

"The two intertwine yet remain distinctly separate, mutually dependent and indispensable, yet each stands alone."

Antares grew more astonished as he listened, never expecting this law to be so marvelous.

"A single law has completely opposite duality; that's rather peculiar."

"I'll give it a try!"

Antares said, and, multitasking, his soul body split in two.

For it, spawning several soul Clones was as easy as drinking water. When it focused the wills of the two soul Clones onto two different manifested laws, it let out a sudden strange howl.

The two laws simultaneously underwent anomalies, attacking Antares's soul Clone.

Antares's soul body was not strong, merely a negligible thread, and vanished directly under the law.

The destruction of a soul Clone was a trivial matter for Antares, at most a slight sting, but what puzzled Antares was that the two laws attacked it simultaneously.

It didn't believe in ill omens and tried a few more times.

It finally discovered that the law already bore a mark belonging to Jiang Chen.

These two manifested laws had become Jiang Chen's private property; no one else could touch them.

"So quickly marked?"

"Impossible, that brat hasn't even mastered the law yet."

It felt extremely odd; all sorts of events beyond common sense kept happening to Jiang Chen, and it couldn't figure out why.

Jiang Chen asked, "Are you alright?"

Antares shook his big head, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

"What have you realized?" Jiang Chen asked.

Antares, a dragon who cares about his reputation, could never admit he hadn't grasped anything, especially after being attacked, "This law is of little use to me, but it should be of great use to you; contemplate it properly, don't give up."

"Also, let me tell you, your Human Race organized a massive army a few days ago and launched a preemptive strike on the Dragon Clan World."

"Moreover, none of the Divine-level Strongmen intervened this time." That's the effect Jiang Chen wanted, "Let them sharpen their Blade properly; the next battle will be the real fierce war."

"I hope this Blade becomes sharper with each honing, rather than breaking."
