Chapter 401: Controlling the Earth World

The Wood World is moving, and the vast, sea-like Wood Law is devouring the Earth Law near the mountain peaks.

The Rock Giant leader clearly feels that the Earth Law it can mobilize is becoming less and less, until finally, there is not a single shred of Earth Law left.

This makes the Rock Giant leader feel like a fish out of water, becoming extremely weak.

Thick vines, as wide as a thigh, grow out from underground; they entwine around the Rock Giant leader, crazily devouring its energy, then taking root, sprouting, and bearing fruit.

The Rock Giant leader is like a fish in a fishing net; it struggles desperately, but it is all in vain. Without the support of the Earth World Power, it is merely a Fifth Grade Peak stone monster, completely powerless to resist the Secret Realm owner.

The vines grow more and more enchanting, and the Rock Giant leader's massive body shrinks smaller and smaller, eventually becoming the size of an ordinary person.

The energy devoured by the vines is transmitted along the underground Root Network into the Secret Realm owner's body, causing Meng Yifan's body to be tempered once again; his muscles, bones, and skin all shimmer with a layer of earthy yellow light.

"Little Stone, why struggle? Humans have a saying: if a ruler wants a subject to die, the subject must die. You are a life I created; when I need you, you must contribute everything you have. This is your fate; how can you resist?"

The Secret Realm owner laughs, stretches out his right hand, presses it onto the Rock Giant leader's chest, and gives a light tug. A cockscomb-shaped earthy yellow crystal appears in his palm; this is the Earth World Origin.

As the Earth Origin is extracted, the Rock Giant leader instantly loses its power and turns into a lifeless statue.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for hunting a Fifth Grade Peak Rock Giant, gaining Experience Value points."

Meng Yifan's Game Panel receives the notification sound of Experience Value being credited again, which makes him overjoyed.

"Earth World, your master has returned." The Secret Realm owner opens his mouth and inhales; the Earth Origin enters Meng Yifan's abdomen and merges with his spleen.

In an instant, as if enlightened by a divine revelation, the Earth Law of the Secret Realm World opens completely to Meng Yifan, allowing him to absorb it at will.

For a Fifth Grade Peak powerhouse, wanting to comprehend the laws of Heaven and Earth is as difficult as ascending to Heaven, because in the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World, the Nine Elements laws are mixed together, like a divine dragon that shows its head but hides its tail.

Furthermore, the laws of Heaven and Earth are hidden and not manifest. When cultivators comprehend laws, it is like looking at flowers through a fog; depending on an individual's Spirit Root, they sense different laws. Even cultivators of the same element will sense completely different laws due to differences in comprehension and opportunity.

This is like blind men touching an elephant: some say the elephant is a round pillar, some say it is like a rope, and others say it is very much like a wall.

What they say is all correct, yet all incorrect, because they only sensed one part of the elephant and could not sense the elephant as a whole.

Ordinary cultivators comprehending laws are like those blind men, but Meng Yifan's comprehension of the Earth Law at this moment is completely different; the laws are clearly and accurately displayed before him.

Not only that, the Earth Law, from surface to core, with every detail of its internal operation and myriad changes, is revealed without omission, allowing Meng Yifan to see it clearly.

In fact, there is no need for Meng Yifan to comprehend it at all; as the Earth Origin merges into his body, the Earth Law follows suit. If those powerhouses who have been stuck at the Fifth Grade Peak for many years and unable to break through were to know this, they would be so angry they would vomit blood.

In the process of comprehending the Earth Law, Meng Yifan feels himself turn into a handful of soil, a rock, a mountain peak, feeling the heaviness of the earth, the breathing of the earth, and the rhythm of the earth.

This feeling is very peculiar, as if the earth is him, and he is the earth; the two are no longer distinct from each other.

As long as Meng Yifan wishes, he can travel through the earth; this is like an Earth-Escaping Technique, and also like teleporting within the earth.

In future battles, as long as Meng Yifan's feet touch the ground, he can absorb the endless energy within the earth.

This comprehension makes Meng Yifan's grasp of the Earth Law advance by leaps and bounds, and he understands how to create his own Earth World in the future.

After the Secret Realm owner absorbs the Earth World Origin, the entire Earth World is under his control. The earth pulses with a peculiar rhythm; every stone, every mountain peak, and even every grain of dust seems to be cheering and leaping, celebrating the return of their Creator.

With the Rock Giant leader fallen and the Secret Realm owner controlling the Earth World, those eight Rock Giants kneel in submission. This makes Meng Yifan feel a bit regretful; if he had killed these eight Rock Giants as well, he could have gained a large amount of Experience Value.

"Little friend, come and see if your three enemies are within the Earth World?" The Secret Realm owner's mind stirs, and Meng Yifan sees individual points of light.

Each point of light represents a living being that has entered the Secret Realm World; the stronger the strength, the brighter the point of light.

Meng Yifan directly filters out those below the Fifth Grade, and soon discovers the brightest point of light. After checking carefully, he finds it is actually Yin Jiuji, which makes him overjoyed.

That old bastard Yin Jiuji, whose lifespan is nearing its end, has wanted to snatch the Innate Spirit Essence since the first time he met Meng Yifan. The problem is that Meng Yifan is not the reincarnation of a great power at all, and there is no Innate Spirit Essence in his Divine Soul Origin; the conflict between the two is irreconcilable.

Yin Jiuji's strength is formidable; if they were to clash head-on, Meng Yifan would find it very troublesome. It is perfect to borrow a knife to kill someone and use the Secret Realm owner to finish off Yin Jiuji.

"Senior, this is my mortal enemy," Meng Yifan says.

"Good, I will avenge you," the Secret Realm owner laughs.

Yin Jiuji is sitting cross-legged in a mountain cave, circulating his energy to heal his wounds, when suddenly he frowns, looking at the ground beneath his feet in surprise. Just a moment ago, he sensed the earth trembling, and the cave shaking along with it.

"Strange, was that an earthquake?" Yin Jiuji is puzzled. He feels that the surrounding environment seems to have become a bit different; the original Earth World was like an old man on the verge of death, ready to take his last breath at any moment.

But the current Earth World, although still full of cracks everywhere, contains a trace of vitality in this broken world, which leaves Yin Jiuji puzzled.

"Oh no! Could it be that someone has already mastered the Earth World Origin? Who could it be? Could it be that vixen Hu Mei'er?"

Yin Jiuji senses a huge crisis. He has fought with Hu Mei'er several times, and the two are evenly matched; neither can do anything to the other.

If Hu Mei'er obtains the Earth Origin, her strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds. By then, who in the entire Secret Realm World would dare to compete with her for treasures?

Even after leaving the Secret Realm World, the battles between the Human Race and the Demon Race will undergo tremendous changes.
