Chapter 401 - The Flaming Star Beast, The Abyss Of Darkness

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 401 - The Flaming Star Beast, The Abyss Of Darkness</h1><p>Chapter 401: The Flaming Star Beast, The Abyss of Darkness</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster handed over its divine spirit origin energy and became Meng Lei’s mount in the end.</p><p>Yep, that’s right, a Chief God-class mount.</p><p>Meng Lei said dispassionately, “You can now tell me what that thing is, right?”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster looked absolutely miserable as it replied, “That Nidhogg guy teamed up with a few other Chief Gods to seal me back then, and I was brought here after that. Originally, Nidhogg could’ve killed me, but that thing saved me at the critical juncture.”</p><p>“Go on,” urged Meng Lei.</p><p>Its voice muffled, the Black Phoenix said, “Barring any unexpected events, a lucky fellow like Nidhogg would never be able to comprehend supreme laws of nature and ascend to become an intermediate Chief God even in his entire life. In other words, he had already reached the end of his cultivation journey.”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded lightly to that.</p><p>“But Nidhogg naturally wasn’t content to stay a lesser Chief God for life. Thus, when I told him about that thing, he easily took the bait.”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster said mockingly, “True enough, he didn’t kill me. Instead, he tried various ways and means to find out about that thing’s whereabouts from me.”</p><p>“What exactly is that thing?”</p><p>It had also piqued Meng Lei’s interest by now. For Nidhogg, a great Chief God, to actually put so much effort into it, what exactly could it be?</p><p>“A Void Beast young!”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster dropped a verbal bomb.</p><p>“A Void Beast young?”</p><p>A mild jolt went through Meng Lei.</p><p>“To be more specific, it’s a Flaming Star Beast’s young!”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster had also become rather excited. It said, “I bumped into that little fellow when I went to that place to collect objects of extreme cold before the previous war between gods and demons had broken out. It seemed like it had been sealed, but it’s also possible that it was trapped in that place. In any case, it couldn’t get out.”</p><p>“You didn’t capture it?”</p><p>Meng Lei was rather bewildered.</p><p>“I wanted to! I wanted very much to!”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster didn’t bother concealing its desire and greed. It said, “The Boundless King’s emergence had shown us gods and demons a whole new way of cultivation. It didn’t require Chief God divine cores or Chief Demon demonic cores, nor did it require one to comprehend supreme laws of nature. All you need is just a Void Beast young!</p><p>“But unfortunately, I entered the battlefield in a hurry after that, and that was the end of it.”</p><p>Its voice full of indignation and regret as the Black Phoenix grandmaster said, “If I had gotten my hands on that Flaming Star Beast young and taken over its body, perhaps I would also have achieved the same heights that the Boundless King had reached… Sigh! But it’s too late now!”</p><p>Meng Lei hurriedly asked, “Where has that Flaming Star Beast been sealed?”</p><p>“The Abyss of Darkness,” answered the Black Phoenix grandmaster.</p><p>“The Abyss of Darkness? What kind of place is that?”</p><p>Meng Lei was rather puzzled.</p><p>“(⊙o⊙)”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster looked utterly stupefied. It asked incredulously, “You don’t even know about the Abyss of Darkness?”</p><p>“Duh, would I need to ask you about it if I did?” replied Meng Lei with an eye-roll.</p><p>“Kid, aren’t you a little too ill-informed?”</p><p>Moro was rendered somewhat speechless, but nevertheless, he still explained, “The Abyss of Darkness is a terrifying space-time rift in the Void. Some say it’s a dimensional channel, while some say it was left behind during a battle among a few juggernaut-class experts… Opinions vary on the topic of what exactly it is.</p><p>“However, one thing’s for certain—magic elements, as well as basic laws of nature, do not exist in the Abyss of Darkness. Additionally, it’s also an extremely dangerous place. Even Chief God-class experts wouldn’t have any chance of survival if they were to enter its depths. There’s no way for them to escape at all.”</p><p>Moro let out an emotional sigh and said, “There’s a mysterious force inside the Abyss of Darkness that constantly destroys the laws of nature around it. This leads to the universe’s Power of Origin’s inability to repair the rift. As a result, it continues to exist to this day.”</p><p>“So that’s what the Abyss of Darkness is!”</p><p>Enlightened, Meng Lei then asked, “How do you find the Flaming Star Beast, Moro? How is it in comparison to the Boundless Great Beast? Can it grow to become a Supreme Juggernaut?”</p><p>“What, are you thinking of finding that Flaming Star Beast young?”</p><p>A mirthful Moro said, “Millions of years have passed since the war between the gods and demons. That Flaming Star Beast young has probably already fled a long time ago. Even if it hasn’t, it must be dead by now.</p><p>“However, the Flaming Star Beast is indeed very powerful. They are fearsome monsters that possess pinnacle-level Void Beast blood in them. They feed on the sun and are also creatures of extreme heat and Yang energy[1]. Thus, they are known by the name of Flaming Star Beasts. In terms of their bloodline, they are in no way inferior to the Boundless Great Beasts.”</p><p>“Is the Abyss of Darkness far from here?” asked Meng Lei.</p><p>“Not really.”</p><p>Moro said, “The Abyss of Darkness happens to be located right in the center of the universe, while high-end existential planes such as the Earth Divine Realm are in extremely close proximity to the center of the universe.”</p><p>“It’s great that it’s not far away!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded slightly and said, “In that case, let’s head over to the Abyss of Darkness and take a look.”</p><p>“I reckon you’re going to return empty-handed this time, though!”</p><p>“We’ll just take it that we’re touring the Abyss of Darkness!”</p><p>After that, Meng Lei returned to the alternate dimension with the Black Phoenix grandmaster and continued to look through the boxes. The Abyss of Darkness was a trip he must make, but it would have to wait a little longer.</p><p>The fifth box was relatively bigger, measuring 10,000-feet-long but only 100-feet-wide. Long and thin, it looked exceptionally strange. Meng Lei opened the lid—a crimson-red pillar with several spiral patterns of fire circling around it engraved on its surface laid quietly in the middle of the box.</p><p>“What’s this?”</p><p>Meng Lei reached into the box and grabbed the crimson-red pillar. It felt incredibly heavy—it actually took extremely strenuous effort for him to hold it despite his lesser Chief God-level body.</p><p>“This is just a 10,000-feet-long, 100-feet-thick pillar, yet it’s so heavy?” Meng Lei was rather astonished. “What is this thing made out of?”</p><p>“Hehe! Didn’t you intend to head to the Abyss of Darkness to look for the Flaming Star Beast just now? If I’m not wrong, this thing right here is the Flaming Star Beast’s horn itself!” said Moro as he clicked his tongue in wonder.</p><p>“The Flaming Star Beast’s horn?”</p><p>A huge jolt went through Meng Lei.</p><p>“Nidhogg made efforts to collect things related to the Flaming Star Beast after he got to know about the Flaming Star Beast young from me back then. This horn is likely something that he had specially obtained,” said the Black Phoenix grandmaster in a muffled voice.</p><p>“No doubt about it, then!”</p><p>Moro nodded slightly and said, “Any normal person would end up displaying all sorts of obsessive behavior when they simply can’t get a treasure that they could have gotten. What a shame, though, that a horn is ultimately still just a horn. It can’t compare to a living, breathing Flaming Star Beast at all.”</p><p>Moro shook his head before he floated over to the sixth box and waited for Meng Lei to open it. What puzzled him, however, was that Meng Lei didn’t move at all. Instead, he continued to stare hard at the Flaming Star Beast horn.</p><p>“Don’t bother looking at it anymore. It’s just a broken horn.” Moro urged, “Hurry and open this box instead!”</p><p>“Just… A horn?”</p><p>Meng Lei’s lips curled up into a mysterious smile. A bunch of blazing hot tricolored flames suddenly burst forth from him. Then, more and more flames started to gather, instantly turning Meng Lei into a man on fire.</p><p>“(・◇・)?”</p><p>“(⊙o⊙)”</p><p>“What’s going on?”</p><p>“What’s the matter with you, kid?”</p><p>Looks of stupefaction came over both Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster’s faces.</p><p>He was fine and dandy one moment, and then he had burst into flames the next?</p><p>Crackle, crackle!</p><p>Just as the two of them were utterly baffled, tricolored scales suddenly started to form one by one on Meng Lei’s skin, and three horns emerged from his head. The one in the middle was straight and sharp, while the other two at the sides curved outward slightly. Tricolored fire spiral patterns covered their surfaces.</p><p>Splurt!</p><p>Right on the heels of it, Meng Lei’s clothes suddenly split open at the back. A pair of wings covered in hard, tough, scaly armor emerged from within, and they turned into gigantic wings that blotted out the sky in the blink of an eye.</p><p>His body hunched over slightly, his hands turned into sharp claws, his feet turned into clawed hooves, his neck lengthened, and a long tail grew from his bottom. His body shape was well-proportioned, and his muscles clearly defined…</p><p>“This, this…”</p><p>Flabbergasted, both Moro’s and the Black Phoenix grandmaster’s eyes almost fell out of their sockets.</p><p>[1] [Annotation text missing]</p>

Chapter 402 - Chief God Bloodline, Supreme Divinity Crystals

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 402 - Chief God Bloodline, Supreme Divinity Crystals</h1><p>Chapter 402: Chief God Bloodline, Supreme Divinity Crystals</p><p>There was no way Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster wouldn’t be astonished. It wasn’t that big of a deal if Meng Lei had transformed into something else, but what was that currently standing in front of them? A Flaming Star Beast!</p><p>That’s right, a Flaming Star Beast!</p><p>Although its color wasn’t quite right, its form and characteristics completely matched!</p><p>“He… He’s a Flaming Star Beast?”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster’s voice was trembling somewhat.</p><p>“It must be that ability of his!”</p><p>Moro, however, thought of another possibility—Meng Lei’s plundering ability. He had previously personally witnessed Meng Lei stealing supreme laws of nature that two Great Perfection deities had comprehended. What’s so impossible about plundering bloodlines when he could plunder even laws of nature?</p><p>“That ability is too scary!”</p><p>Moro could only sigh emotionally. He thought to himself, “Not only can it plunder laws of nature, but it can also plunder bloodlines! I really want to know whether there’s anything he can’t plunder?”</p><p>Roar!</p><p>Just as feelings of astoundment occupied the duo, Meng Lei’s transformation finally ended. The current Meng Lei had turned into a monstrous beast covered in tricolored scales and with three sharp helix horns on its head, a pair of wings on its back, a long tail at its bottom, and well-proportioned muscles all over its body.</p><p>Hard, tough, scaly armor;</p><p>Toned, taut muscles;</p><p>Razor-sharp claws;</p><p>Piercing eyes;</p><p>A wild and violent-looking form;</p><p>And a powerful, surging aura.</p><p>All of these were testament to Meng Lei’s great strength!</p><p>“So, this is the Flaming Star Beast bloodline? It’s extraordinary indeed!”</p><p>Meng Lei could sense the changes in his divine body even if he didn’t look at the stats interface.</p><p>Power!</p><p>An endless supply of power was gushing out of his body. Meng Lei felt as if he could smash the Nidhogg Continent into bits and pieces with a single punch! This power in him was simply too strong!</p><p>One must know that as Meng Lei continued to assimilate more and more powerful bloodlines into himself, his divine body had also been constantly becoming stronger and stronger. The later the bloodlines he had assimilated, the smaller the enhancement they brought to his divine body. It had been a very long time since he had undergone such a dramatic enhancement. From this, one could tell just how fearsome the Flaming Star Beast bloodline was!</p><p>He then checked his stats interface.</p><p>Host: Meng Lei</p><p>Race: Primordial Human (Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat &lt;Adult&gt;, Netherworld Ancestral Phoenix &lt;Adult&gt;, Hundred-Armed Giant King &lt;Adult&gt;, Ancient Tree of Life &lt;Adult&gt;, Frost King &lt;Adult&gt;, Grim Reaper King &lt;Adult&gt;, Flaming Star Beast &lt;38%&gt;)</p><p>Wealth: 12,709 trillion Divinity Crystals</p><p>Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body, Wood-Origin Divine Body, Thunder-Origin Divine Body</p><p>Spirit: Lesser Chief God (Mid-Level Ancient God)</p><p>Power of Divinity: 200 Divinity Crystals</p><p>Laws of Nature: Time-Based (100%), Destruction (0.1%), Life (0.1%), Spatial (100%), Death (0.1%)</p><p>Wanting to know how strong his divine body currently was, Meng Lei asked, “System, how much does it cost to enhance my divine body?”</p><p>“Ding! The host’s divine body is currently on par with that of a pinnacle-level lesser Chief God and will rival that of an intermediate Chief God’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 100 trillion Divinity Crystals.”</p><p>The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”</p><p>“100 trillion Divinity Crystals? That’s not cheap!” Meng Lei shook his head and asked, “How many Divinity Crystals does it cost to boost the Flaming Star Beast bloodline to 100%?”</p><p>“Ding! Raising the Flaming Star Beast bloodline by 1% requires 1 trillion Divinity Crystals. Raising it to 100%, therefore, requires 62 trillion Divinity Crystals,” replied the system coldly.</p><p>“I’ll buy credit for the Flaming Star Beast bloodline!”</p><p>Meng Lei made his choice.</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>62 trillion Divinity Crystals instantly went poof from his Wealth.</p><p>At the same time, an incredibly wild and violent warm current also gushed into his body. The Flaming Star Beast bloodline in the depths of his blood began to furiously grow and strengthen. This, displayed externally, was that Meng Lei’s body started to become stronger and stronger. His scales became brighter and brighter, and more and more vibrant, while his body expanded further and further…</p><p>10,000,000 feet, 20,000,000 feet…</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The alternate dimension could no longer contain Meng Lei. At last, unable to hold Meng Lei’s expansion any longer, the alternate dimension exploded with a grand boom.</p><p>Meng Lei became exposed in the boundless Void straight away. Even so, his body continued to expand.</p><p>30,000,000 feet, 40,000,000 feet, 50,000,000 feet, 60,000,000 feet…</p><p>At last, by the time Meng Lei stopped expanding, he had reached 66,600,000-feet-tall!</p><p>He had totally become a whale of a monster!</p><p>19,980,000 meters!</p><p>19,980 kilometers!</p><p>That was approximately 20,000 kilometers!</p><p>This meant that the current Meng Lei was 1,000 Himalaya mountains taller than even Earth itself! It was clear just how majestic his current form was!</p><p>Roar!</p><p>Terrifying sound waves exploded into the surroundings as Meng Lei let out a roar into the heavens. As though they were eggs, all the meteors and floating continents nearby exploded simultaneously.</p><p>One could tell a thing or not about Meng Lei’s current strength just by the might of his roar.</p><p>“This, this…”</p><p>Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster were stunned. If one were to say that Meng Lei had just been a weak Flaming Star Beast young in the beginning, then the current him was a Flaming Star Beast adolescent that was starting to shine!</p><p>Leaping an infant into an adolescent in just a short few minutes… Wasn’t his growth rate a little too dramatic?</p><p>“Just what kind of freak is he, exactly?”</p><p>The Black Phoenix grandmaster exclaimed in a low voice. It completely couldn’t figure out its master anymore.</p><p>“A freak? Yes! He’s a freak!” replied Moro, who was also astounded.</p><p>“What a fearsome body!”</p><p>Meng Lei stretched his limbs and claws and moved his head and wings, taking in the sensation of his body that had become even stronger. A satisfied smile couldn’t help but form.</p><p>Just as he had expected, his divine body had become comparable to an intermediate Chief God’s after he bought enough credit to boost the Flaming Star Beast bloodline to 100%.</p><p>It was just a matter of assimilating a single bloodline for him to ascend from a lesser Chief God to an intermediate Chief God. From this, one could tell just how powerful the Flaming Star Beast bloodline was!</p><p>Meng Lei asked curiously, “System, what grade is the Flaming Star Beast bloodline?”</p><p>“…”</p><p>There was no response.</p><p>“That inflexible system!”</p><p>Meng Lei rephrased his question. “System, how many Divinity Crystals does it cost to enhance the Flaming Star Beast bloodline?”</p><p>This time, the system answered readily.</p><p>“Ding! The Flaming Star Beast bloodline is classified as a Chief God Bloodline and will become a Supreme Bloodline after enhancement. The enhancement cost is estimated at 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.”</p><p>“500… Supreme Divinity Crystals?”</p><p>Meng Lei blinked twice and asked, “Are Supreme Divinity Crystals a new unit of measurement? How many Divinity Crystals is one equivalent to?”</p><p>“Supreme Divinity Crystals are energy crystals formed from Supreme Power of Divinity. 1 Supreme Divinity Crystal = 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals,” replied the system icily.</p><p>“In other words, 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals equals 5,000,000 trillion Divinity Crystals?”</p><p>Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. “What a ridiculous price! Can’t mess around with something like that! Nope!”</p><p>Although the horrifying price tag gave him a shock, Meng Lei had gotten to know the Flaming Star Beast bloodline’s grade—a Chief God Bloodline—like what he had wanted. However, in Meng Lei’s opinion, since Chief Gods were classified into the strong and the weak, Chief God Bloodlines were likely also a broad classification like True God bloodlines.</p><p>True gods were classified into lesser, intermediate, and higher deities. Similarly, True God Bloodlines were also classified as low-grade, mid-grade, or high-grade bloodlines.</p><p>This was probably also the case for Chief God Bloodlines.</p><p>The fact that Flaming Star Beasts would become comparable to Juggernauts upon maturation showed that the Flaming Star Beast bloodline was likely the most powerful grade of Chief God Bloodlines.</p><p>After that, Meng Lei familiarized himself with his Flaming Star Beast form before he resumed his human form and returned to where Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster were.</p><p>Astonishment and incredulity filled their eyes as they stared at Meng Lei as though they were staring at a freak.</p><p>“Kid, you’ve… become stronger again!”</p><p>Moro clicked his tongue in wonder as he marveled, “Now that you have gained a powerful body that rivals an intermediate Chief God’s and also comprehended two types of supreme laws of nature, even I find it tough to judge just how strong you are now!”</p><p>Indeed, it certainly wasn’t easy to judge something like that now!</p><p>A lesser Chief God would become comparable to a higher Chief God once they reached a 50% comprehension rate for any type of supreme laws of nature.</p><p>When a lesser Chief God fully comprehended any type of supreme laws of nature, they would become comparable to a Supreme Juggernaut.</p><p>But what about Meng Lei?</p><p>He owned a body that was comparable to an intermediate Chief God’s, and on top of that, he had fully comprehended two types of supreme laws of nature!</p><p>Just how strong was he currently? Higher Chief God-level?</p><p>No, he was definitely stronger than a higher Chief God. There was no doubt about that!</p><p>Yet if one were to say that he was comparable to a Juggernaut…</p><p>Was he that strong?</p><p>Moro was rather dubious.</p><p>“No, not just two,” Meng Lei chuckled and said, “I can fully comprehend another two types of supreme laws of nature any time I want.”</p><p>“What did you just say?”</p><p>Moro was stunned.</p><p>As for the Black Phoenix grandmaster, its current expression was as such: o((⊙_⊙))o!</p>

Chapter 403 - The Tragic Fate Of Being Soul-Searched, Fatty Hart Is Dead

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 403 - The Tragic Fate Of Being Soul-Searched, Fatty Hart Is Dead</h1><p>Chapter 403: The Tragic Fate of Being Soul-Searched, Fatty Hart Is Dead</p><p>Nidhogg clan headquarters, Earth Divine Realm…</p><p>The Nidhogg clan had suffered terrible losses after the battle just now. Almost all the higher deities had been wiped out, leaving behind only a few insignificant nobodies of varying levels of combat power.</p><p>The enormous Nidhogg could be said to be finished. There was no chance of them ever making a comeback.</p><p>The ten great godly clans of the Earth Divine Realm would now become the nine great godly clans from now on. Once the news spread, it would surely spark an unprecedented super earthquake, shake up the entire Earth Divine Realm, and trigger an incomparably frightening storm.</p><p>Of course, all of these would only come later.</p><p>Nobody knew of the events here yet.</p><p>If one wanted to know who the ones currently the most excited were, then they were none other than Puhaman and the others.</p><p>The riches that a trillion experts’ deaths left behind was astonishing. Even if every person were to leave behind only 100 Divinity Crystals each, it would nonetheless total up to 100 trillion after putting them all together!</p><p>100 trillion Divinity Crystals was no small sum to even someone like Meng Lei, much less higher deities like Puhaman, Bubbles, and the others who were flat broke!</p><p>“I’ve struck gold!”</p><p>“I’ve struck gold now!”</p><p>“Hahaha! With so many spatial rings here, I’ve instantly transformed into a billionaire!”</p><p>“This is awesome! Being Master’s follower is awesome! The wisest decision that I’ve ever made in my life is to become Master’s follower!”</p><p>“Sigh! I’m going to die of envy!”</p><p>Emery Philmore watched as Puhaman and the others picked up the divine cores and spatial rings littered all over the mountains, immense envy filling him. How he wished he were also one of them!</p><p>It was just a shame that he wasn’t!</p><p>Puhaman and the others happily collected the divine cores and spatial rings, filling up their coffers as though they were hardworking little bees.</p><p>Just as they more or less collected all the spatial rings in the mountains, a fearsome wave of pressure suddenly descended upon them, followed closely by the second, the third, the fourth…</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Seven strong, surging auras descended from above in a split second, instantly bearing down heavily on everyone. Unable to put up any resistance at all, Puhaman and the others were flattened right onto the ground. Their faces flushed a crimson red, the pressure weighing down on them so heavy that they felt as if they were carrying a primordial divine mountain on their backs.</p><p>“Chief Gods!”</p><p>“This is the force of a Chief God’s presence!”</p><p>“Oh my god! How many Chief Gods must there be in order for them to exert such pressure?”</p><p>Puhaman and the others had seen Chief Gods before, so they had naturally also felt the force of a Chief God’s presence before. These seven terrifying waves of pressure were undoubtedly that of Chief Gods’!</p><p>To make things worse, they were even more fearsome, more powerful, and more horrifying than what they had felt in the past!</p><p>“The other Chief Gods have come!” Shock and horror filled Emery Philmore. “The other Chief Gods must have come!”</p><p>“The other Chief Gods?”</p><p>It also hit Puhaman and the others by now—how could the other Chief Gods in the Earth Divine Realm possibly stay indifferent after their master went on a killing spree and slew three Chief Gods?</p><p>Now… They had come!</p><p>Their guesses were right—the other Chief Gods of Earth Divine Realm had indeed descended upon them, and on top of that, there were seven of them!</p><p>The seven Chief Gods stood proudly in the air. They made no effort to constrain their strong, surging, and terrifying force of presence, such that the entire Nidhogg Continent could clearly sense the pressure they gave off.</p><p>Their leader was stunningly beautiful—it was none other than the holy and cool beauty, Chief God Vados.</p><p>Chief God Vados overlooked the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains, her delicate brows drawing together into a frown—there actually wasn’t even a single higher deity left in the enormous Nidhogg clan.</p><p>“How tragic!”</p><p>“That knave is so hateful!”</p><p>“The Nidhogg clan is pretty much finished!”</p><p>The group of Chief Gods shook their heads. Just how powerful had the Nidhogg clan once been? Yet not only had the Nidhogg Chief God himself perished, but even the experts in the clan had all but been wiped out. The enormous clan existed merely in name now. This simply made one heave emotional sighs too much.</p><p>“Where’s that knave?”</p><p>Chief God Vados ordered emotionlessly, “Find him at once and bring him back to stand trial in the Chief God Tribunal. He is to be tried by the four great Juggernauts and the Chief Gods.”</p><p>“Yes, Your Holiness!”</p><p>The other six Chief Gods bowed slightly. Then, they spread their divine cognition into the surroundings in an attempt to locate Meng Lei. However, the puzzling thing was that they simply couldn’t find anyone despite searching the whole area.</p><p>“How strange!”</p><p>“He isn’t here?”</p><p>“What’s going on?”</p><p>“Grab one of his accomplices and question them!”</p><p>The Chief God from the Frost God clan casually grabbed someone, who just so happened to be Emery Philmore, who had been flattened to the ground. The Chief God asked apathetically, “Where’s the knave that killed the three Chief Gods?”</p><p>“O g-great Chief God!”</p><p>Emery Philmore had been scared witless a long time ago, so how would he possibly dare to keep things a secret? He said, “I-it seems that L-lord Meng Lei has gone to the peak!”</p><p>“There’s no one at the peak at all. Bold of you to actually try to deceive a Chief God!”</p><p>The Frost Chief God declared coldly, “Die!”</p><p>Boom!</p><p>As though he had been struck by lightning, Emery Philmore’s head blasted apart, and he died on the spot.</p><p>“Emery Philmore!”</p><p>“It’s over! We’re dead meat!”</p><p>The sight of Emery’s death scared the wits out of Puhaman and the others. Given how ruthless the Frost Chief God was, they probably weren’t going to survive the ordeal today!</p><p>The Frost Chief God then casually grabbed another person from the crowd—Fatty Hart this time—and ordered, “Tell me, where’s that knave?”</p><p>“Just kill me instead!”</p><p>Despite how he was trembling all over from fear, in response to the Frost Chief God’s question, Fatty Hart actually raised his chin and sneered, “I, Fatty Hart, admit that I’m no match for you, so there’s nothing I can say even if you kill me. But mark my words, old bro, will definitely kill all of you and avenge me! Heh, to be able to drag a Chief God down into hell with me, I, Fatty Hart, have lived a worthy life! Hahaha!”</p><p>“You want to die? Not so easy!” With an icy, severe look on his face, the Frost Chief God scoffed, “Do you think I have no way of finding out even if you don’t tell me? How naive of you!”</p><p>Then, the Frost Chief God released his divine spirit power and began to forcibly search Fatty Hart’s soul, causing poor Fatty Hart to emit shrill, miserable screams right away.</p><p>“Fatty!!”</p><p>“You bastard!”</p><p>The sight filled Puhaman and the others with immense fury at once. All of them had chatted, bantered, bragged, and talked about all kinds of nonsense with one another during all these years of following Meng Lei around. They had already formed fairly deep friendships with one another a long time ago. How could they possibly not be distressed or anguished at the sight of Fatty Hart’s current pain and agony?</p><p>Fatty Hart’s screams didn’t last long. However, Fatty Hart, who had stopped struggling by now, now had empty, lifeless eyes. There was no life in his eyes, and it was as if he had become a puppet.</p><p>Evidently, the rough and violent soul-search had killed his mental capabilities, turning him into an idiot!</p><p>Rough soul-searches damaged one’s divine spirit the most easily!</p><p>“Nothing but a lowly ant!”</p><p>The Frost Chief God let out a snort. A chilly current gushed out of his palm, instantly turning Fatty Hart into an ice sculpture. Then, with a light knead of his hand, the ice sculpture shattered into a million ice chips that scattered all about.</p><p>“Fatty!!”</p><p>Fury made Puhaman and the others shake all over. Even their eyes had turned red. Yet as if all he had done was just something trivial that wasn’t even worth a mention, the Frost Chief God merely shifted his gaze to Chief God Vados and said with a frown, “Your Holiness, we must find that guy and kill him as soon as possible. Otherwise, there’ll be endless trouble to come, and the Boundless King disaster shall come to pass once more.”</p><p><em>The Boundless King disaster?</em></p><p>The Chief Gods raised an eyebrow at his words. The haughty Giant Elephant Chief God, who didn’t quite agree with him, remarked, “Aren’t you just fearmongering now, Chilled?”</p><p>“You wouldn’t say that if you knew that guy’s background, Helsa!”</p><p>The Frost Chief God slowly asked, “Do you know that guy has already comprehended both time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature even though he isn’t even 50 years old yet?”</p><p>“What did you just say?”</p><p>“He isn’t 50 years old yet?”</p><p>“He’s comprehended both time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature?”</p><p>Huge jolts immediately went through the six Chief Gods, and looks of shock and horror surfaced in their eyes. They had no problem believing that someone could become a deity before they turned fifty, but a Great Perfection deity under the age of fifty?</p><p>They couldn’t accept that no matter what! Let alone when said Great Perfection deity had even comprehended two types of supreme laws of nature!</p><p>That was practically a fantasy story!</p><p>“I know it sounds very unbelievable, so I don’t intend to bother convincing you guys, either.”</p><p>The Frost Chief God then reached out and grabbed Puhaman, Thaniel, Bubbles, Galen, Sacas, and Mervyn.</p><p>“Search their souls yourself. You’ll get the answers you want!”</p>

Chapter 404 - Life Dominus, A Graveless Death

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 404 - Life Dominus, A Graveless Death</h1><p>Chapter 404: Life Dominus, A Graveless Death</p><p>“Aahhh!”</p><p>“Aahhh!”</p><p>“Aahhh!”</p><p>Shrill screams rang in the skies above the Colossal Dragon Mountain as Puhaman, Sacas, and the other four grimaced from the inhumane suffering of the soul searching.</p><p>Pain!</p><p>It was too painful!</p><p>“Puhaman!”</p><p>“Galen!”</p><p>“You bastard!”</p><p>Nadja and the rest looked on as they widened their eyes to the point of splitting. They wished they could charge and fight those six Chief Gods with their lives, but they were all suppressed to the ground, completely immobilized.</p><p>After a few minutes, the soul searching ended while the screams of horror died down. They had the same fate as Fatty Hart as their eyes turned blank and lifeless. They had clearly turned into idiots from the violent soul searching, and they would never return to normal.</p><p>Vados and the six Chief Gods threw the six mentally disabled deities to one side and looked at each other, seeing the alarm and shock in each other’s eyes.</p><p>“So this is the answer we’re looking for?” the Frost Gods Chief God asked somberly.</p><p>“Die!”</p><p>“That fellow must die!”</p><p>“If he doesn’t die, the Boundless King disaster will repeat itself, and a catastrophe will engulf the entire universe!”</p><p>“We must find him and bring him to the Chief God Tribunal to be executed. Or else, he will be the next Boundless King, or much worse!”</p><p>Chief God Vados waved her arm and bellowed, “Find him! No matter what, we must find him!”</p><p>“Yes, Your Holiness!”</p><p>The six Chief Gods bowed slightly and began their search. Vados flipped her hand as a pale golden leaf appeared on her palm.</p><p>The power of Chief God entered the golden leaf as it started to shine brightly. Golden rays of light shot up the sky and combined into a towering figure.</p><p>She had a head of green hair that cascaded like a waterfall and a terrifying aura reaching into the skies and deep into the ground. She was like heaven and earth, ruling everything and in control of anything.</p><p>“O great Life Dominus!”</p><p>Vados bowed slightly with reverence.</p><p>“Have you found that murderer?” The Life Dominus spoke slowly. Her voice was like a spring breeze in march, warm and pleasant. It was like a hot spring that could cleanse souls.</p><p>“My great Dominus, we have not found him yet, but…”</p><p>Vados spoke respectfully. “But I obtained reliable information. That person’s potential threat is unprecedented, possibly more than the Boundless King in the past. I request to send out all the Chief Gods to find that man and execute him immediately!”</p><p>“Is it that serious, Vados?”</p><p>The Life Dominus was rather surprised.</p><p>Who was the Boundless King?</p><p>That was someone who had stolen and occupied a juvenile Boundless Great Beast and grown into an adult Boundless Great Beast, whose capabilities were no less than the four Juggernauts. If it was not for the combined effort of the four great Juggernauts and over 100 Chief Gods, no one could be certain that they could be exterminated.</p><p>Who could be associated with such a powerful being?</p><p>“My great Dominus, that fellow has not yet reached 45 years old, but he has already comprehended the time-based and spatial laws of nature. We are dealing with a freak of an unprecedented level!”</p><p>Vados bowed and replied, “If we let him progress any further, he will surely be more disastrous than the Boundless King!”</p><p>“Is that the truth, Vados?”</p><p>The Life Dominus raised her voice by a notch.</p><p>“I spoke no lies,” Vados replied respectfully.</p><p>The Life Dominus went silent for quite a while before she said, “This is a different situation from the Boundless King. We cannot conclude over such a matter until we meet him in person. Vados, find him immediately! I’ll make my way there with the other Juggernauts and Chief Gods.”</p><p>“Yes, my great Dominus!”</p><p>With that said, the Life Dominus dissipated into the air. Vados did not dare to make any further delay as she began her search quickly. With the capabilities of her powerful divine spirit as a Chief God and the Power of Existential Plane of the Earth Divine Realm, her divine cognition could cover an astonishingly extensive range.</p><p>It could not be any more simple to find someone.</p><p>Unfortunately, as most of the day had gone by, she could not find Meng Lei at all. Vados became furious. “This damned bastard! Where the hell is he? Perhaps he had already left the Earth Divine Realm? If so, that’s a huge problem!”</p><p>“Any news over there?”</p><p>“No, I didn’t.”</p><p>“He’s not here.”</p><p>“He doesn’t even exist here.”</p><p>“It’s like this fellow has vanished without a trace.”</p><p>Knowing that nothing turned up for the other Chief Gods, Vados was raging even more.</p><p>“Keep searching! We must find him before the four great Juggernauts descend upon this realm with other Chief Gods!”</p><p>Where was Meng Lei right now?</p><p>He was in the Void.</p><p>The alternate dimension had dissipated, and the teleportation magic circle linked to the shrine was destroyed. Thus, he had been exiled into the Void. He had to find a way himself to return to the Earth Divine Realm.</p><p>It would not be an issue for Meng Lei.</p><p>As long as he could sense the Earth Divine Realm, he could tear open the Void to teleport back instantly.</p><p>The step to sense the Earth Divine Realm was much easier. Since the divine spirit origin energies of Puhaman and the rest were in his hands, he could use the link between them.</p><p>A moment later, Meng Lei sensed the location of the Earth Divine Realm and teleported into the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountain.</p><p>“Mm?”</p><p>“Such a powerful aura!”</p><p>“All of a sudden?”</p><p>“Is this that fellow?”</p><p>“Let’s head over and take a look!”</p><p>Once Meng Lei appeared, he was discovered by the seven Chief Gods.</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>The seven Chief Gods appeared instantly to surround Meng Lei entirely.</p><p>“Seven Chief Gods?”</p><p>Meng Lei raised an eyebrow, as he was not too surprised about it.</p><p>He had killed the Titan Chief God, Nidhogg, and the Angel Chief God. It would only be natural for these Chief Gods to come for revenge.</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the seven Chief Gods while they sized him up too. Curiosity, puzzlement, and disbelief could be seen from their faces.</p><p>“Master!”</p><p>“Our Master, he’s back!”</p><p>Once he saw Meng Lei, Nadja, and the Spider Goddess were jubilant as they were overwhelmed in excitement. They had never longed for Meng Lei to show up as much as how they currently did.</p><p>“Why are all of you in such a state?”</p><p>Meng Lei’s face darkened as he looked at Nadja and those immobilized on the ground, especially so when he saw the six puppet-like subordinates lying around on one side. “Wait, where’s Fatty Hart?”</p><p>“Fatty Hart was killed by him, Master!”</p><p>Nadja pointed at the Frost Gods Chief God, Chilled, and replied angrily, “He searched Fatty Hart’s divine spirit and turned him into a fool before brutally killing him! And Puhaman, Bubbles, and the other four were searched as well, becoming mentally unsound too!”</p><p>“Master, you must avenge them!”</p><p>“Master, kill these Chief Gods! They’re too wicked!”</p><p>“Well done! Well done, indeed!”</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the seven Chief God with a cold stare.</p><p>“Nidhogg, is he the murderer?”</p><p>Vados ignored Meng Lei as she released Nidhogg and the other two Chief Gods’ remnant souls.</p><p>“That’s him, Your Holiness!”</p><p>Upon the sight of Meng Lei, Nidhogg’s eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness. “It was him who killed me, Dawson, and Raphael! Please avenge us, Your Holiness!”</p><p>“Curse you, knave! How I ought to feast on your flesh, rip out your skin…”</p><p>The Titan Chief God and the Angel Chief God started cursing hysterically.</p><p>“How dare mere remnant spirits bark here?”</p><p>Meng Lei scoffed as a divine cognition blast wave ravaged the vicinity, instantly decimating the three remnant souls. The three great Chief Gods were now gone eternally.</p><p>“What insolence!”</p><p>Vados was enraged. “Knave! How dare you murder the three great Chief Gods! It’s insanity and perverse to the extreme! Return to the Chief God Tribunal immediately to stand trial before the four great Juggernauts if you know what’s good for you! Or else, you’ll die a graveless death!</p><p>“Graveless? Hehe, I’ll show you what it means to die graveless!”</p>

Chapter 405 - Blasting A Juggernaut Into Smithereens, Meeting Their Demise One After Another

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 405 - Blasting A Juggernaut Into Smithereens, Meeting Their Demise One After Another</h1><p>Chapter 405: Blasting A Juggernaut Into Smithereens, Meeting Their Demise One After Another</p><p>Meng Lei was infuriated. It had been some time since he had come to this world. He had no family and was all alone by himself here, save for these few friends.</p><p>Yet even these few friends of his had been crippled. How could Meng Lei possibly not be furious or resentful?</p><p>“You should die! All of you!”</p><p>Meng Lei let out a low roar as bright silver light spilled from his eyes. Then, he uttered two icy words, “Space Confinement!”</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>The dimensions in all the places that entered his sight were locked down at once. The seven Chief Gods discovered to their shock and horror that they had been immobilized. Their bodies no longer obeyed their command, and they lost control of their divine bodies.</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>“That’s spatial laws of nature!”</p><p>“He really has comprehended spatial laws of nature!”</p><p>“Quickly! Mobilize your Chief God powers!”</p><p>The seven Chief Gods hastily activated their divine cores and mobilized the Earth Divine Realm’s Power of Existential Plane. The Earth Divine Realm’s Power of Existential Plane naturally held extremely fearsome might in the Earth Divine Realm itself. By using Power of Existential Plane as a means of resistance, their immobilized bodies gradually started to move again.</p><p>But before they could heave sighs of relief, Meng Lei bizarrely showed up right in front of Chilled, the Frost Chief God. He asked, “Were you the one that killed Fatty Hart?”</p><p>“W-what do you want?”</p><p>The Frost Chief God turned pale, and he tried furiously to summon Power of Existential Plane so that he could put some distance between Meng Lei and himself.</p><p>Like Nidhogg, he was just a lesser Chief God. When faced with a devil like Meng Lei, who slew lesser Chief Gods as if he were slaughtering livestock, he feared him like how a mortal feared a ferocious tiger.</p><p>“You deserve to die a million deaths for daring to kill Fatty!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s eyes were icy-cold. He said, “I’m going to give you a full, thorough taste of the pain and agony that you inflicted upon Fatty!”</p><p>Before he even finished his sentence, Meng Lei had already pressed his palm lightly against the Frost Chief God’s forehead. Then, he gouged out his Chief God divine core with a forceful scoop. The poor Frost Chief God struggled fiercely, but he couldn’t do anything to Meng Lei at all. All he could do was watch helplessly in endless, intense pain as Meng Lei gouged out his Chief God divine core!</p><p>The sight scared the living daylights out of the other Chief Gods, while Vados shouted furiously, “Mister, slaughtering Chief Gods is a serious crime. You’ve already killed three Chief Gods, but you can pull yourself back from the brink if you do it now. Otherwise, the four Juggernauts will never let you off!”</p><p>“You’re too noisy!”</p><p>Meng Lei struck out with his palm right away. The expression on Vados’ pretty face changed at once, and she tried to duck, but it was as if she had sunk into a pool of mud. She found it difficult to even move a finger.</p><p><em>I’m a higher Chief God, yet I actually can’t resist his spatial laws of nature even when I use Power of Existential Plane?</em></p><p>Shock and horror came over Vados as she wondered, “Are complete spatial laws of nature really supposed to be this fearsome?”</p><p>How powerful were complete supreme laws of nature?</p><p>Vados didn’t know, either, because she only had a 50% comprehension rate of life laws of nature. She was halfway there, so she naturally wouldn’t know what the full picture looked like.</p><p>Thus, Vados found herself terribly shocked and horrified when Meng Lei’s spatial laws of nature imprisoned her. The life laws of nature that she had comprehended half of definitely weren’t this terrifying!</p><p>“What are you trying to do? Damn it! Let go of me! The four Juggernauts won’t let you off!”</p><p>Elsewhere, fear had utterly overcome the Frost Chief God after his Chief God divine core was gouged out, and he started to shout hysterically. He didn’t want to die! He didn’t want to end up like those three Chief Gods!</p><p>“Have a taste of Fatty’s pain, you idiot!”</p><p>Divine spirit power gushed out of Meng Lei and surged into the Chief God divine core. It charged around violently and shoved its way through left and right like a deluge from a breached dam, assailing the Frost Chief God’s divine spirit madly. His screams resounded throughout the sky at once, causing the other Chief Gods’ scalps to go numb from fear.</p><p>How much must it hurt in order to make a lofty Chief God scream like that?</p><p>“Aaaahhhh!”</p><p>The Frost Chief God’s screams lasted for a good ten minutes before they gradually died down. The duration was three to four times longer than what Fatty Hart’s had been. Only then did Meng Lei thoroughly erase the Frost Chief God’s divine spirit, completely killing him.</p><p>“You were the one that searched Puhaman’s soul?” asked Meng Lei emotionlessly as he appeared in front of Valdi, the Fire Phoenix Chief God.</p><p>“D-don’t kill me!”</p><p>The Fire Phoenix Chief God turned ghastly pale from fright and pleaded for mercy again and again. “I’m willing to do anything in penitence. Please give me a way out!”</p><p>“Pleading for mercy? It’s too late!”</p><p>Meng Lei gouged out the Fire Phoenix Chief God’s divine core like what he had done just now. Then, he started to attack his divine core and conduct a violent soul-search.</p><p>Shrill screams that lasted over ten minutes rang out once more…</p><p>“A devil! He’s the devil himself!”</p><p>“Isn’t he afraid of the four Juggernauts’ judgment and punishment if he kills Chief Gods so cruelly like that?”</p><p>“Your Holiness Vados! Hurry and inform the four Juggernauts! Get them to hurry over here at once! Otherwise, that devil is going to kill us all!”</p><p>Vados was also frightened. If she hadn’t been afraid of Meng Lei in the beginning, after experiencing the complete version of spatial laws of nature, she certainly was now. She knew she was no match for Meng Lei for sure. If she allowed Meng Lei to continue his slaughter, it was possible that she, a higher Chief God… might also be killed!</p><p>“Yes, that’s right! Inform the Juggernauts! Get them to hurry here at once! They are the only ones that can save us now!”</p><p>Vados hastily brought out the golden leaf. She imbued it with her Chief God powers and began to call for the great Life Dominus.</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>The majestic figure appeared again—it was none other than the Life Dominus.</p><p>Vados shouted, “O great Dominus, hurry and save us! That terrifying devil is slaughtering us!”</p><p>“Mm?”</p><p>The Life Dominus broke into a slight frown. Her gentle gaze swept to the side accordingly and fell onto Meng Lei, noticing right away that he was conducting a soul-search. A cold look came over her countenance at once, and she said, “How dare you slay a Chief God so brazenly? Cease your actions at once!”</p><p>“Who do you think you are?”</p><p>Meng Lei cast a glance at the Life Dominus.</p><p>“What insolence!”</p><p>Vados barked, “This is the great Life Dominus. How dare you show her disrespect!”</p><p>“The Life Dominus?”</p><p>Meng Lei sneered, “If it had been the actual Life Dominus herself who had come, perhaps I would show some restraint on account of her, but a divinity projection… Get lost!”</p><p>Meng Lei let out an icy snort after he spoke, causing wild, violent sound waves to erupt into the surroundings. The Life Dominus’ divinity projection exploded at once, turning into a million glimmering dots that vanished into the sky.</p><p>“This…”</p><p>Vados shook with anger. She had never once imagined that Meng Lei would actually be so bold as to blast even the Life Dominus’ divinity projection into smithereens. This was no longer something that could be described as mere “extreme audacity”—his actions were practically lawless and perverse!</p><p>That was the great, supreme Life Dominus!!</p><p>“Feel free to call for the four great Juggernauts.”</p><p>Meng Lei glanced at Vados and said, “It’s best if they all come over. Saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one.”</p><p>Meng Lei then continued to leisurely conduct his soul-searches. He thought nothing of the four great Juggernauts who were about to come and of the other Chief Gods. This greatly infuriated Vados, yet there was nothing she could do about it. Meng Lei was too strong, so much so that it filled her with despair!</p><p>“You were the one that searched Thaniel’s soul?”</p><p>“You were the one that searched Sacas’ soul?”</p><p>“You were the one that searched Bubbles’ soul?”</p><p>Following the Fire Phoenix Chief God and the Frost Chief God, the Giant Elephant Chief God, the Nature Chief God, the Behemoth Chief God, and the Scarab Chief God also had their souls searched by Meng Lei. Their deaths followed shortly after.</p><p>Be they lesser Chief Gods or intermediate Chief Gods, all of them perished in Meng Lei’s hands. At last, only one Chief God remained… Chief God Vados.</p><p>“You’re the only one left now.”</p><p>Meng Lei went over to Vados.</p><p>“You can just kill me, but the four Juggernauts will avenge me!”</p><p>Vados had personally witnessed the six Chief Gods’ deaths, and her emotions had run the gamut of panic, despair, fear, and indignation, and now it seemed like she had come to terms with it.</p><p>“Do you think I’ll be afraid of the four Juggernauts?”</p>

Chapter 406 - Space Dominus, A Battle Of Space

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 406 - Space Dominus, A Battle Of Space</h1><p>Chapter 406: Space Dominus, A Battle of Space</p><p>“Do you think I’ll be afraid of the four Juggernauts?”</p><p>Meng Lei stared at Vados as if he were staring at an idiot. He said, “There have never been any fools among those that can reach our level of cultivation—with the exception of Chief Gods like the bunch of you, of course. After all, you’re just a bunch of people who were lucky enough to assimilate Chief God divine cores.”</p><p>Vados’ expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, “You’re capable of contending with a Juggernaut?!”</p><p>A slight smile appeared on Meng Lei’s face. Then, he pinched his fingers together lightly, easily gouging out Vados’ Chief God divine core. He couldn’t help but smile as he gazed at the dazzling, brilliant irregularly-shaped crystal.</p><p>“It seems like all 11 Chief God divine cores in the Earth Divine Realm are in my possession now! Say, Moro… Do you think I’ll become a Supreme God straight away if I assimilate these 11 Chief God divine cores now?”</p><p>“Theoretically, it’s entirely possible,” Moro gave an affirmative reply, “However, because you haven’t deified yet, you can’t assimilate Chief God divine cores, so you’d better think of a way to deify first. instead!”</p><p>“I can deify any time I want.” Meng Lei nodded slightly and said, “What I’m concerned about is whether it’ll affect my ability to comprehend genesis laws of nature after I assimilate them?”</p><p>“Of course it will, but in a positive way instead.”</p><p>Moro said without any hesitation, “Your divine spirit will become incredibly powerful once you deify. When your divine spirit becomes powerful, the level of difficulty involved in comprehending genesis laws of nature will naturally become lower. There’s no doubt about that.”</p><p>“In that case, I’ll just deify, then!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave him a smile. Suddenly, a blink of light flashed across his eyes, and his lips curled up into a faint smile, and he commented, “But it seems like I don’t have the time for it now.”</p><p>“Oh?”</p><p>Moro raised an eyebrow.</p><p>“The great Juggernaut… has arrived!”</p><p>Before Meng Lei could even finish his sentence, an incomparably terrifying aura traveled over from afar. The air rippled slightly, and then, someone appeared 100 meters away.</p><p>He wore a bright silver robe embroidered with supreme laws of nature runes. His bright silver eyes were distant and aloof, containing no hint of emotion at all. His gaze swept across the area and fell onto the Chief God dead bodies scattered about the surroundings. At once, his brows drew together into a deep frown. Even though he had sped the whole way here, was he ultimately still a step too late?</p><p>Then, his gaze landed on Meng Lei’s palm, where Vados’ Chief God divine core was.</p><p>“O great Space Dominus, s-save me! Save me!”</p><p>Vados’ fearful cries for help rang out from within the Chief God divine core.</p><p>“Chief God Vados!”</p><p>The Space Dominus’ expression turned incredibly dark and sinister. If even Vados had been killed, then what about the other Earth Divine Realm Chief Gods? Where were the other Chief Gods’ divine cores?</p><p><em>Sh*t!</em></p><p>The Space Dominus’ heart sank. He knew what would happen when all the Chief God divine cores in a Divine Realm fell into the same person’s hands, of course. That was something he absolutely didn’t want to and was reluctant to see!</p><p>Why did the Chief God Treaty come to be?</p><p>On the surface, it was to prevent Chief Gods from killing one another, but its main purpose was ultimately still to prevent the emergence of a super Chief God. If a super Chief God… or even the legendary Supreme God were to be born, it would threaten the four Juggernauts’ positions for sure!</p><p>This was something that the four Juggernauts didn’t want to see, so it had resulted in the Chief God Treaty.</p><p>Yet the exact thing that the Juggernauts wished to see the least had still happened!</p><p>“I have to kill him before he assimilates all the Chief God divine cores! Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!”</p><p>The Space Dominus glowered at Meng Lei with a razor-sharp look in his eyes. “Do you confess to your crimes, lowly ant?”</p><p>“My crimes?”</p><p>Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. He replied, “I’d like to know what kind of crime I’ve committed. If even something like killing Chief Gods is considered a crime, then I’d rather see this crime through all the way to the end!”</p><p>“What insolence!”</p><p>The Space Dominus flew into a thundering rage. “You’re a Great Perfection deity, yet you slaughter Chief Gods as you please. Your crimes are unpardonable! Surrender at once, otherwis—”</p><p>Meng Lei let out a contemptuous scoff and sneered, “O great Space Dominus, let’s cut all that crap and let our skills speak for themselves instead. Show me what it is that allows you to stand among the four great Juggernauts and overlook the rest of the deities in the world!”</p><p>“Since you refuse to wake up to the error of your ways, then go to hell!” With his eyes devoid of any emotion, the Space Dominus uttered icily, “Space Confinement!”</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>Spatial laws of nature instantly descended upon Meng Lei, locking down the space around him. It seemed like even Meng Lei himself had become trapped to the spot.</p><p>“Space Blade!”</p><p>The Space Dominus tapped his finger in the air. A blade that glittered a bright silver color manifested in mid-air and shot out, going straight for Meng Lei’s head.</p><p>“You’re attacking me with spatial laws of nature?”</p><p>Meng Lei almost burst out laughing. Then, he glared at the blade, causing the Space Blade originally shooting toward him to instantly dissipate into the air as though it had never once appeared.</p><p>Meng Lei then lightly shrugged his shoulders, upon which the imprisoned space around him was also freed.</p><p>The Space Dominus frowned slightly. “You actually have such a high degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature?”</p><p>All he had heard from the Life Dominus was that Meng Lei had already comprehended both time-based and spatial laws of nature, but he had no inkling about how far the extent of his degree of comprehension concretely went.</p><p>However, from the brief exchange of blows just now, the Space Dominus had come to realize that Meng Lei had an exceptionally high degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature—it had already reached at least 50%!</p><p>Meng Lei said dispassionately, “I’ve already comprehended everything that you have, as well as what you haven’t. So, don’t bother showing off in front of an expert anymore.”</p><p>“I’m showing off in front of an expert?”</p><p>The Space Dominus’ expression darkened right away, and he showed up in front of Meng Lei with a flash of silver light. His right hand transformed into a Space Blade that slashed forcefully across Meng Lei’s throat.</p><p>“You actually dare to come at me again?”</p><p>Meng Lei let out an icy snort and uttered, “Space Destruction!”</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Meng Lei had only just spoken when the dimension in front of him was suddenly destroyed. The air, magic elements, basic laws of nature, and even the dimension itself were crushed into a viscous, glue-like state, forming a black hole in the air.</p><p>The Space Dominus just so happened to dive right into the black hole, leading him to cry out at once.</p><p>He hurriedly retreated with a burst of speed, stopping only when he was a few kilometers away.</p><p>The robe that the Space Dominus was wearing was already gone, and even his eyebrows and hair had suffered a certain degree of damage. Had he not been the Space Dominus and possessed an incomparably powerful divine body, he would definitely have been in for it just now.</p><p>“How dare you!”</p><p>The Space Dominus was practically spitting fire from his eyes. Another robe quickly appeared on himself and covered his body from view. His eyes, as he glared at Meng Lei, brimmed with an endless amount of murderous intent.</p><p>“It’s been so many years since the last time someone had thrown me into such a pathetic state. You’re the first to do so since then. I’m going to rip you into a million pieces!”</p><p>Boom!</p><p>An incomparably violent, raging aura erupted from the Space Dominus., and the dimension around them cracked and broke into pieces like a fragile, brittle mirror. For a moment there, the whole dimension within 10 million kilometers of the Space Dominus was turned completely into a black hole.</p><p>The Space Dominus stood in the center of the black hole, his form glowing with a dazzling bright silver light. His entire self had become a bright silver color by now—this was the outward form that spatial laws of nature would take once physically manifested.</p><p>“Lowly ant, you shall understand how foolish it is to enrage a Juggernaut!”</p><p>The Space Dominus let out a long howl and made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand. A bright silver greatsword formed wholly from spatial laws of nature quietly appeared. Engraved on the greatsword’s surface were mysterious and profound spatial laws of nature runes.</p><p>“Cleave, Space Sword!”</p><p>The bright silver greatsword abruptly disappeared as the Space Dominus let out a deep roar. The next moment, the greatsword had already reached less than three inches away from the top of Meng Lei’s head.</p><p>The greatsword… had teleported!</p><p>“I told you, these attacks are useless against me!”</p>

Chapter 407 - The Supreme Celestial Realm, Eternal Energy

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 407 - The Supreme Celestial Realm, Eternal Energy</h1><p>Chapter 407: The Supreme Celestial Realm, Eternal Energy</p><p>A black hole hung high in the sky like a gigantic sun that was black in color. Clearly seen even from countless light-years away, it caught innumerable deities’ attention.</p><p>“What’s that? A black sun?”</p><p>“There must be super experts fighting over there!”</p><p>“Isn’t that the Nidhogg clan’s…”</p><p>The deities speculated among themselves as they gestured at the black hole.</p><p>Elsewhere, the many Chief Gods led by the three other Juggernauts finally arrived at the Earth Divine Realm. As they weren’t in their own existential planes, the Chief Gods couldn’t teleport and could only rely on flying as a means of travel.</p><p>A Chief God’s flight speed wasn’t to be doubted. Unfortunately, the Earth Divine Realm was simply too massive. This caused the Chief Gods’ flight speed to appear relatively slow in comparison.</p><p>“That’s…”</p><p>Mid-flight, the Juggernauts, and the Chief Gods also noticed the battle taking place above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains. Unusual looks flashed across their eyes.</p><p>“From the looks of it, Adela is already engaged in an intense fight with that knave,” remarked the Life Dominus whose green hair cascaded like a waterfall.</p><p>She had a rather displeased look on her face, especially upon her mention of Meng Lei. Her eyes were practically spitting fire.</p><p>The Chief Gods were overjoyed at her remark.</p><p>“With Lord Adela around, that knave is sure to surrender. The battle will probably already be over by the time we get there!”</p><p>“Exactly…”</p><p>The Death Dominus and the Destruction Dominus maintained dispassionate expressions on their countenances and refrained from commenting. Instead, they sped toward the Nidhogg clan headquarters.</p><p>“Let’s go over, too!”</p><p>…</p><p>“I told you, these attacks are useless against me.”</p><p>Meng Lei lightly shook his head as he gazed at the bright silver greatsword that appeared out of nowhere above him. A silver gleam flashed in his eyes, and a space-time rift formed right in front of him, swallowing the greatsword in one gulp.</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the Space Dominus and said calmly, “As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive. Here, have a taste of your own spatial greatsword!”</p><p>A space-time rift suddenly formed behind the Space Dominus before Meng Lei even finished his sentence. Then, the spatial greatsword that had just vanished a moment ago did a forward slash from within the rift and cleaved right at the Space Dominus.</p><p>“To think you’ve already fully comprehended spatial laws of nature!”</p><p>After exchanging a few blows, the Space Dominus had basically sounded out Meng Lei’s degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature. He couldn’t help but become alarmed and furious.</p><p>His alarm was because Meng Lei, a nobody, could actually fully comprehend a type of supreme laws of nature like the spatial laws of nature, while his fury was because the spatial laws of nature had originally been a domain exclusive to him. He had been the one and only person in the whole wide universe who fully comprehended spatial laws of nature, yet someone else had also comprehended them now. The Space Dominus felt as if someone had stolen something that belonged to him, and this filled him with extreme rage.</p><p>“It’s too late to realize that now, though!”</p><p>Meng Lei snorted coldly. The bright silver gleam in his eyes disappeared before it was subsequently replaced by an unusually soft and gentle golden divine glow.</p><p>“Do you think my own attack will hit me? What a joke!”</p><p>The Space Dominus didn’t even bother glancing at the spatial greatsword behind him. His eyes bore into Meng Lei like knives, and he said coldly, “Since you’ve already fully comprehended spatial laws of nature, then you must die. Only this Juggernaut is qualified to comprehend spatial laws of nature in this whole wide universe!”</p><p>As he spoke, he got ready to teleport from where he was so that he could dodge the spatial greatsword coming at him from the back.</p><p>However, it was at this exact moment that he suddenly felt a piercing pain on his back—the spatial greatsword had actually landed on the Space Dominus and cleaved a crack into that tough, virtually indestructible divine body of his!</p><p>“How can this be?”</p><p>The Space Dominus was flabbergasted. He knew very well how fast the spatial greatsword moved. According to his estimations, the timing should have been just right for him to dodge the spatial greatsword if he were to teleport now. But why had it struck him all the same?</p><p>“Go and read up a little on time acceleration!”</p><p>Meng Lei said dispassionately, “I forgot to mention this, but not only have I fully comprehended spatial laws of nature, but I’ve also done so for time-based laws of nature. Apart from those, there are also life laws of nature and destruction laws of nature. In other words, I’ve fully comprehended four types of supreme laws of nature. So, are you scared yet?”</p><p>“You’ve fully comprehended four types of supreme laws of nature?”</p><p>The Space Dominus was stunned for a moment before he sneered, “Quit bragging, you lowly ant. It’s rare enough that you’ve even managed to fully comprehend spatial laws of nature, let alone three other types of supreme laws of nature. Aren’t you afraid that others will laugh their heads off at your claims?”</p><p>It wasn’t so much that the Space Dominus was looking down on Meng Lei. Rather, supreme laws of nature were simply too complex and profound. He, the Space Dominus, had the biggest right to speak with regard to how difficult and time-consuming comprehending supreme laws of nature was!</p><p>There was a limit to one’s abilities, time, and talent!</p><p>It was almost impossible for someone to fully comprehend two types, let alone four!</p><p>“Believe what you will. In any case, it’s more likely than not that you’re going to die here today.”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head with a laugh and said, “Come to think of it, I’ve killed Great Perfection deities and slaughtered Chief Gods before, but slaying a Supreme Juggernaut is the only thing that I’ve not done before. I must say that it’s really a form of regret! Therefore, I’m going to make you, the Space Dominus, the sacrifice today!”</p><p>“You’re going to kill me? With the likes of you?”</p><p>The Space Dominus burst into loud, unrestrained laughter as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the whole universe, and his laughter reverberated throughout the sky like roiling thunderclaps.</p><p>“Is it that funny?” Meng Lei cocked an eyebrow. “You can bring yourself to laugh when you’re already standing at death’s door?”</p><p>“I’m laughing at your idiocy and utter stupidity!”</p><p>The Space Dominus ceased his laughter and said, “I’ll tell you something—you can’t kill me even if you’ve comprehended all five types of supreme laws of nature. Do you know the reason why?”</p><p>“Why?”</p><p>Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.</p><p>“It’s because of the supreme Celestial Realm.”</p><p>Moro’s voice rang out at this point. “Unlike the ten major Divine Realms, the supreme Celestial Realm is not a high-end existential plane but a supreme existential plane.”</p><p>“So what even if it’s a supreme existential plane?”</p><p>A look of puzzlement came over Meng Lei’s features.</p><p>“Why is a supreme existential plane acknowledged as such?”</p><p>As though he were answering his own question, Moro explained, “Apart from having vast territories that go far beyond a high-end existential plane’s and a near-limitless amount of Power of Existential Plane, it also possesses one other thing that high-end existential planes lack.”</p><p>“And what might that be?” asked a puzzled Meng Lei.</p><p>Moro explained, “Like what I’ve previously mentioned, ordinary existential planes’ Hearts of The Existential Plane are formed from a combination of the ten basic types of laws of nature and ten types of Power of Origin.</p><p>“Whereas high-end existential planes’ Hearts of The Existential Plane are formed from the ten basic types of laws of nature, ten types of Power of Origin, five types of supreme laws of nature, as well as their respective supreme law of nature powers. However, supreme existential planes’ Hearts of The Existential Plane differ from this yet again.”</p><p>“How so?”</p><p>Meng Lei was even more puzzled now.</p><p>“Apart from the 15 types of laws of nature and their respective law of nature powers, a supreme Heart of The Existential Plane also contains one other thing, and that is… Eternal Energy.”</p><p>Moro explained unhurriedly, “Like supreme laws of nature and their respective powers, Eternal Energy is also an undying substance. Eternal Energy will never deplete, disappear, erode, or be destroyed. Its immortality is absolute.”</p><p>“Eternal Energy!” Meng Lei murmured under his breath.</p><p>“As a supreme Heart of The Existential Plane contains Eternal Energy, the supreme Celestial Realm’s Heart of The Existential Plane is unlike the ten major Divine Realms’ Hearts of The Existential Plane. The Chief God divine cores of these Juggernauts and Chief Gods from the supreme Celestial Realm are thus also different.”</p><p>Moro said dispassionately, “Of course, to the Chief Gods of the supreme Celestial Realm, their Chief God divine cores are actually no different from the usual, either. This is because they can’t mobilize or use the Eternal Energy in their Chief God divine cores at all.”</p><p>“Why not?” asked a puzzled Meng Lei.</p><p>“Because they haven’t comprehended any supreme laws of nature yet.”</p><p>Moro chuckled and said, “You must understand that Eternal Energy is a kind of undying substance. One must therefore use another undying substance of equal level as a medium in order to mobilize and use it. However, none of the Chief Gods have fully comprehended any supreme laws of nature, so Eternal Energy is useless to them. Juggernauts, however, are different.”</p><p>Moro went on. “Juggernauts have already fully comprehended some form of supreme laws of nature, so they are able to use the power of supreme laws of nature as mediums. Thus, they can mobilize and use Eternal Energy.</p><p>“They’ll use Eternal Energy to remake their divine spirits and divine bodies, such that both become eternal and indestructible, thereby gaining the special characteristic of absolute immortality.</p><p>“Therefore, they can’t be killed at all!”</p><p>“They can’t?”</p>

Chapter 408 - : Destroy My Divine Body, Take My Divine Core

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 408 - : Destroy My Divine Body, Take My Divine Core</h1><p>Chapter 408: Destroy My Divine Body, Take My Divine Core</p><p>Meng Lei could never have imagined that within the supreme Celestial Realm’s Chief Gods’ divine cores existed an imperishable substance like the Eternal Energy—never depleting, never disappearing, never eroding, an absolute eternal existence.</p><p>“It might be a little more of a hassle, but… this Eternal Energy seems like good stuff!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s gaze fell on the Space Dominus. “O great Space Dominus, I didn’t expect that your divine body and divine spirit were modified with Eternal Energy. Though that’s surprising, do you think there’s nothing I can do about you?”</p><p>“Cut your bluffs, little ant.” The Space Dominus said coldly. “Since this isn’t the supreme Celestial Realm, I can’t unleash my full power here and finish you, but holding you up won’t be an issue at all. Once the three other Juggernauts arrive, your time will come!”</p><p>“Hold me up? Isn’t that too low a target as a Juggernaut?” Meng Lei scoffed. “My objective has always been killing you!”</p><p>The Space Dominus sneered while he looked at Meng Lei as if he was an idiot.</p><p><em>If you already know that I’m enhanced by Eternal Energy, how are you still dreaming of killing me? Is your brain damaged?</em></p><p>“Open your eyes and watch closely. I’ll show you how you die!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave a faint smile as a gentle golden glow spilled from his eyes. “Time Freeze!”</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>The time-based laws of nature manifested as they engulfed the Space Dominus. At this moment, time had stopped for the Space Dominus.</p><p>His body had stopped.</p><p>His thoughts and consciousness have stopped as well.</p><p>Meng Lei walked step by step in front of the frozen Space Dominus and said, “In the Earth Divine Realm, you couldn’t use your Power of Existential Plane, so that divine core of yours is practically non-existent. Other than your divine body and divine spirit, you’re only just as good as an Ancient God who had fully comprehended the spatial laws of nature right now.</p><p>“That’s the limit of a Chief God, and even a Juggernaut.”</p><p>Moro’s voice rang. “They can only use the Power of Existential Plane in their own existential plane in order to display their best abilities. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Chief Gods rarely ever leave their own existential planes to travel to another Divine Realm. It’s simply too dangerous!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded slightly. A dazzling silver light beam shot off from his right hand to form a Space Blade before he slashed toward the forehead of the Space Dominus.</p><p>Ching!</p><p>The Space Blade struck the Space Dominus’ forehead as if it hit an indestructible metal, causing a series of sparks. Other than that, it did not harm the Space Dominus the slightest bit.</p><p>“Such a high-level defense!”</p><p>Meng Lei was dumbfounded.</p><p>“This is a Juggernaut, after all.”</p><p>Moro reminded him. “I’ve told you before, a Juggernaut’s divine body and divine spirit were modified by the Eternal Energy, making them indestructible. It would be exceptionally tough if you want to damage him!”</p><p>“His defense stats might be high, but…”</p><p>Meng Lei sneered. “If I’m not wrong, he was hurt from his own spatial greatsword!”</p><p>Meng Lei emanated a glittering bright silver glow while spatial laws of nature chains came out from the Void. It manifested into a sparkling silver spatial greatsword and slashed instantly.</p><p>Crack!</p><p>The power of the spatial greatsword did not need any further introduction. It slashed onto the Space Dominus’ head at lightning-quick speed, splitting his head in half, and revealed a dazzling irregular crystal silently hovering around.</p><p>Meng Lei gouged out the crystal casually. It was the Chief God divine core of the Space Dominus. “Without the Chief God divine core, you’re basically nothing!</p><p>“Although he’s modified by the Eternal Energy, the Space Dominus’ divine body isn’t completely made of it. It couldn’t block the spatial greatsword’s attack.”</p><p>Moro smiled and said, “After all, his spatial greatsword was manifested from the spatial laws of nature power that is pure immortality essence.”</p><p>“Exactly!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded as he stopped the time freeze. The Space Dominus’s thoughts and consciousness started to run and operate, but he was horrified at what he saw.</p><p>He saw his own divine body.</p><p>He saw his head split into halves.</p><p>He saw the Chief God divine core in Meng Lei’s hand.</p><p>“How did this happen?”</p><p>The Space Dominus was shocked and horrified at the scene as he shouted hysterically.</p><p>“O great Space Dominus, let’s not be agitated and relax a bit!”</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the Chief God divine core in his hand and gave a sly laugh. “After all, no matter how agitated you are, it won’t change the fact that you’re going to die in my hands!”</p><p>“Knave, how dare you destroy my divine body and snatch away my divine core!” The Space Dominus widened his eyes to the point of splitting. “I’m a supreme Juggernaut, the highest order of existence in the entire universe! How dare you!”</p><p>“You might be honorable in the past, but not anymore!”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “Without the Chief God divine core, you’re just a Supreme Great Perfection deity who comprehended the spatial laws of nature. Wait, you’re not even a Supreme Great Perfection deity since your divine spirit is still in my hands!”</p><p>“Knave! You treacherous, unforgivable, heinous—”</p><p>The Space Dominus broke down. He would never have imagined that an existence like him would end up in this state one day. He was a supreme Juggernaut, after all!</p><p>“You’re too noisy!”</p><p>Meng Lei frowned slightly with some annoyance. He knew that taking out the Space Dominus’ Chief God divine core was simple, but it would be really difficult to destroy the divine spirit within the divine core.</p><p>Apart from the fact that the Space Dominus’ divine spirit was imperishable, just the Juggernaut-class divine spirit was something Meng Lei could not kill at his current level. His divine spirit was only at the level of a lesser Chief God, so the gap between him and the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was almost insurmountable to close.</p><p>The Grim Reaper’s Eye?</p><p>It would be too tough now.</p><p>Meng Lei’s divine spirit was too weak after all.</p><p>“System, enhance my divine spirit!” Meng Lei ordered.</p><p>“Ding! The host’s divine spirit is currently comparable to a lesser Chief God’s and will rival that of an intermediate Chief God’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 100 trillion Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”</p><p>“Yes, enhance it!”</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>“Again, system!”</p><p>“Ding! The host’s divine spirit is currently comparable to an intermediate Chief God’s and will rival that of a higher Chief God’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”</p><p>“5,000 t-trillion?”</p><p>Meng Lei swept a look at the stats interface as he became stuck in a dilemma. He had 12,709 trillion Divinity Crystals left, but 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals were left for the comprehension of the destruction laws of nature and the life laws of nature. Hence, he would have 2,709 trillion Divinity Crystals left.</p><p><em>It’s not enough for 5000 trillion!</em></p><p>A gleam flashed past Meng Lei’s eyes.</p><p><em>How much can I earn if I kill the Space Dominus? 5,000 trillion should not be an issue, right? It’s a supreme Juggernaut, after all!</em></p><p>With such a thought in mind, Meng Lei promptly gave the order. “System, enhance it!”</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>His Wealth went down by 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.</p><p>An incomparable warm current surged into his sea of consciousness and started to enhance Meng Lei’s divine spirit incessantly. After a few minutes, the process finally came to an end.</p><p>At that moment, Meng Lei felt that his divine spirit was never so powerful before. It was as deep as the ocean and as vast and boundless as the starry skies. The range of his divine cognition could easily cover tens of thousands of light-years, making it terribly powerful.</p><p>“Kill! Grim Reaper’s Eye!”</p>

Chapter 409 - Eternal Divine Spirit, Big Golden Tree

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 409 - Eternal Divine Spirit, Big Golden Tree</h1><p>Chapter 409: Eternal Divine Spirit, Big Golden Tree</p><p>The divine spirits of a higher Chief God and a lesser Chief God were entirely different. If Meng Lei had no confidence in killing the divine spirit of the Space Dominus, now he was 100% sure that he could finish off the divine spirit.</p><p>Why?</p><p>The difference between a Juggernaut and a higher Chief God was only half the comprehension of one supreme laws of nature, and Meng Lei already completely comprehended two.</p><p>“Kill! Grim Reaper’s Eye!”</p><p>Meng Lei opened the Grim Reaper’s Eye in between his brows as a tricolored divine light burst forth, aiming directly at the divine core of the Space Dominus.</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>The tricolored divine light penetrated the divine core and engulfed the divine spirit as it started to extract and separate it from the Space Dominus.</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>The Space Dominus was aghast as he struggled madly. Meng Lei let out a cold snort and used another Time Freeze on the Space Dominus, immobilizing him on the spot.</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>Without resistance, Meng Lei extracted the divine spirit from the divine core effortlessly into his Grim Reaper’s Eye.</p><p>As the ‘pulverizer’ within the Grim Reaper’s Eye started to pulverize the divine spirit, Meng Lei felt the true extent of the strength of a Juggernaut’s divine spirit.</p><p>No matter how the ‘pulverizer’ tried to grind and crush it, the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was like a sticky candy that was too tough to swallow.</p><p>“A divine spirit modified by the Eternal Energy is that tough?” Meng Lei was dismayed.</p><p>“That’s a certainty!” Moro gave a faint smile. “The Eternal Energy is the same as the powers of supreme laws of nature. They are all undying substances that will never be destroyed. Divine spirits and divine bodies that were modified by Eternal Energy would share the same special attribute.</p><p>“See for yourself.”</p><p>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.”</p><p>Meng Lei looked over, and the head was indeed restored as before. It was sleek and smooth without any visible scars.</p><p>“That’s freaky indeed,” Meng Lei exclaimed. “But there’ll always be a way.”</p><p>“You know a way to destroy the Space Dominus’ divine spirit?” Moro raised an eyebrow as he asked.</p><p>“We’ll know once I try.” Meng Lei chuckled and ordered, “System, plunder the Eternal Energy within the Space Dominus’ divine spirit.”</p><p>“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?”</p><p>“…”</p><p>Meng Lei had an urge to curse badly.</p><p><em>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.</em></p><p><em>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?</em></p><p><em>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!</em></p><p>“Ding! Will you plunder it?”</p><p>“Plunder it!”</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>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…</p><p>Time was frozen for him after all.</p><p>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?”</p><p>“Assimilate it,” Meng Lei perked up, “Into my divine spirit!”</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>Meng Lei had only just spoken when colorless and odorless energy that was lukewarm was injected into his divine spirit.</p><p>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.</p><p>“That’s it? That’s the whole assimilation process? There was no feeling at all!”</p><p>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…</p><p>“Ding! Space Dominus killed. 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals gained!”</p><p>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.</p><p>“This Eternal Energy is indeed dramatically good!</p><p>“But, I didn’t expect that I could obtain 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals from killing him.”</p><p>2 Supreme Divinity Crystals equaled 20,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, after all.</p><p>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.</p><p>Meng Lei swept a glance at his stats interface.</p><p>Wealth: 22,709 trillion Divinity Crystals</p><p>“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!”</p><p>Meng Lei remarked as he kept the divine core and divine body of the Space Dominus.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Swoosh!</p><p>Upon sensing the presence of the Space Dominus’ divine body, the golden tree’s roots started to move over.</p><p>Stab, stab, stab.</p><p>The roots easily penetrated the indestructible divine body of the Space Dominus and started to absorb its life essence.</p><p>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.</p><p>110 meters, 120 meters, 130 meters…</p><p>At the same time, the Space Dominus’ divine body dried up at a visible speed as well.</p><p>After around ten minutes, the body had become a piece of dried-up skin which dissipated into the air when a slight wind blew.</p><p>“The Space Dominus’ divine body is gone just like that? Isn’t it imperishable and absolutely eternal? What about the Eternal Energy within?”</p><p>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?</p><p>Nothing!</p><p>Nothing at all!</p><p>Or rather, it became useless.</p><p>“Why is the divine body of the Space Dominus no different from the bodies of other deities in front of the little golden tree?”</p><p>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.</p><p>“Never mind, I’ll look into it later.”</p><p>Meng Lei left the Tower of Time and gave orders to the system.</p><p>“System, buy credit for the life laws of nature.”</p><p>“System, buy credit for the destruction laws of nature.”</p><p>“System, buy credit for the death laws of nature.”</p>

Chapter 410 - Fully Comprehending Them All, The Three Juggernauts Make Their

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 410 - Fully Comprehending Them All, The Three Juggernauts Make Their</h1><p>Chapter 410: Fully Comprehending Them All, The Three Juggernauts Make Their Appearance</p><p>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.</p><p>Meng Lei’s field of view was currently filled with endless laws of nature chains.</p><p>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.</p><p>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…</p><p>They weren’t in the same league at all!</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>It was no exaggeration to say that in this very instant where Meng Lei fully and thoroughly 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!</p><p>In fact… Meng Lei could even see the powers of supreme laws of nature!</p><p>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.</p><p>This was another undying substance that corresponded to supreme laws of nature—the Power of Supreme Laws of Nature.</p><p>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…</p><p>“Supreme laws of nature! And Power of Supreme Laws of Nature!”</p><p>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!”</p><p>Mobilizing and using undying substances—what kind of concept was that?</p><p>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?</p><p>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…</p><p>“What exactly are you doing, kid?”</p><p>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?!”</p><p>Meng Lei snapped back to reality with a start to see anxiety all over Moro’s visage.</p><p>“What’s the matter, Moro?”</p><p>Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and asked.</p><p>“Goddamn it, you’ve finally come to!”</p><p>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!”</p><p>“They are already here?”</p><p>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.</p><p>“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!”</p><p>“What are you spacing out here for? Hurry and run!”</p><p>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!”</p><p>“Run?”</p><p>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.”</p><p>“You won’t be able to fight a mob by yourself, kid!”</p><p>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!”</p><p>“Save your breath, Moro.”</p><p>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!”</p><p>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!”</p><p>“You’ll see whether or not I’ve become too full of myself or not later!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave him a smile and said no more.</p><p>“Fine, I’ll wait and see, then!”</p><p>…</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>“W-what fearsome pressure and might!</p><p>“What kind of experts are those, exactly?!”</p><p>“All of them must at least be Great Perfection deities!”</p><p>“Great Perfection? Even Chief Gods aren’t as powerful as that!”</p><p>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.</p><p>A few hours later, they finally arrived in the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.</p><p>“They’re finally here!”</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>“Where’s the Space Dominus, knave?”</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>“The Space Dominus? I’ve killed him,” replied Meng Lei simply.</p><p>“What did you just say?”</p><p>“You’ve… You’ve killed him?”</p><p>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.</p><p>Who was the Space Dominus?</p><p>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?</p><p>“Don’t talk rubbish, knave.”</p><p>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!”</p><p>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.</p><p>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?</p><p>Not even the three Juggernauts could do it even if they were to team up!</p><p>“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is that all of you are going to die!”</p>

Chapter 411 - Time Prison, The Power Of Destruction

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 411 - Time Prison, The Power Of Destruction</h1><p>Chapter 411: Time Prison, The Power of Destruction</p><p>Strong gusts of cold winds blew. An exceedingly stifling atmosphere filled the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.</p><p>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.</p><p>On one side were the three great Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods, while on the other was Meng Lei!</p><p>Judging from the lineup alone, the two parties were in two completely different leagues. There was no comparability between the two at all.</p><p>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.</p><p>“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!”</p><p>“Die?”</p><p>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.</p><p>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?”</p><p>“How arrogant and presumptuous!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus let out a cold snort.</p><p>“You overestimate yourself,” said the Life Dominus coldly.</p><p>A Chief God with a pair of horns on his hand also ordered coldly, “The three great Juggernauts are standing before you, knave! Get onto your knees, kowtow, and own up to your mistakes! What are you still waiting for?”</p><p>“Get onto your knees!”</p><p>“Get onto your knees!”</p><p>“Get onto your knees!”</p><p>The other Chief Gods also spoke up one after another. Roiling sound waves converged and formed a majestic torrent of voices that surged brazenly toward Meng Lei from everywhere.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Had it been anyone else facing these shocking and earth-shattering torrents of voices, the resulting reverberations would already have knocked them dead a long time ago. Even if they survived, their souls would also end up destroyed.</p><p>However, Meng Lei remained unmoved as though it was the spring breeze caressing his face. No matter how the torrent of voices pressed down upon him, he simply stood steadily where he was like a bastion of stability from start to finish.</p><p>“You want me to get onto my knees? With the likes of you?”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head with a scoff and said, “I’m not looking down on you, but I just want to say that be it a Juggernaut or a Chief God, all of them are… Trash!”</p><p>“How dare you!”</p><p>The three Juggernauts’ expressions turned cold at once. Towering divine power gushed out of them and crushed down brazenly upon Meng Lei like great surging tidal waves, seemingly trying to flatten him onto the ground.</p><p>It was just a shame that Meng Lei still remained calm and unaffected even against such vast and mighty divine power. He said, “You said just now that I’ve become too full of myself, Moro. Open your eyes wide and watch this closely now, and see whether I’ve become too full of myself or not!”</p><p>“What are you intending to do?” asked Moro in a low voice.</p><p>“You’ll see right away!”</p><p>A dispassionate smile graced Meng Lei’s lips. Then, he reached out a finger and barked, “Where are you, time-based laws of nature?”</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>A golden laws of nature chain suddenly came from the sky above the moment he spoke.</p><p>The laws of nature chain emanated a vast aura of time. The sight of it gave different people completely different feels.</p><p>Ancient and decayed!</p><p>Prosperous and flourishing!</p><p>Distant and eternal!</p><p>While everyone was still immersed in their unique moments of enlightenment, the golden chain split into two, then into four, and next into eight. Then, the eight golden chains attacked the Juggernauts and the others from eight different directions.</p><p>“These are time-based laws of nature chains! Get back!”</p><p>The three Juggernauts retreated with a burst of speed. Their movement speeds were beyond comparison, and they went 10 million kilometers away in an instant, successfully evading the eight chains’ siege.</p><p>The Chief Gods, however, weren’t so lucky. Not only were they half a beat slower, but the eight golden chains also moved incredibly swiftly, and they ended up becoming surrounded by the chains.</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>The eight laws of nature chains instantly linked together to form a golden prison of chains that imprisoned the 134 Chief Gods.</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>“C’mon, break!!”</p><p>Greatly alarmed, the 134 Chief Gods turned pale, and they quickly began to attack the laws of nature cage. However, something that shocked and dismayed them happened—as though the laws of nature cage was just an illusory one, all their attacks passed right through the cage upon landing. They didn’t affect the cage in the least.</p><p>“I can’t attack it?”</p><p>“How did that happen?”</p><p>The Chief Gods found this incredible. The golden cage was clearly imprisoning them within, and they couldn’t escape from it at all, so why couldn’t they attack it?</p><p>“That’s Time Prison!”</p><p>“Based on how he can mobilize time-based laws of nature to attack at will, it looks like he’s already fully comprehended time-based laws of nature!”</p><p>“He’s… Fully comprehended time-based laws of nature?”</p><p>“It’ll… probably be very difficult for us to kill him!”</p><p>All three Juggernauts wore awful looks on their faces. Time-based laws of nature was a type of supreme laws of nature, and every type of supreme laws of nature possessed entirely different powers.</p><p>Destruction laws of nature ruled over destruction;</p><p>Death laws of nature ruled over death;</p><p>Life laws of nature ruled over life;</p><p>Spatial laws of nature ruled over dimensional space;</p><p>In the same vein, time-based laws of nature definitely ruled over time itself!</p><p>Time was intangible. Time-based laws of nature’s destructive abilities might not be as great as that of destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature, but their strange and peculiar nature made them highly elusive and enigmatic!</p><p>Most importantly, no one had fully mastered time-based laws of nature prior to Meng Lei. Therefore, none of the Juggernauts had any experience in battling time-based laws of nature.</p><p>This was what gave the three Juggernauts the biggest headache!</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>“I can’t attack it!”</p><p>“How did this happen?”</p><p>The 134 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison were unusually anxious. Their attacks couldn’t even touch the cage at all. How were they supposed to fight this?</p><p>“You actually want to punish me? With the likes of all of you?”</p><p>Meng Lei took step after step toward the Time Prison and went right up to it. A look of slight disdain surfaced in his eyes as he gazed at the panic-stricken Chief Gods.</p><p>“You knave! Release me if you dare!”</p><p>A Behemoth Chief God with firm, intertwining muscles and golden fur all over him shouted fiercely, “What’s so impressive about using this kind of weird method to trap us? Release me and fight me head-on if you dare!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s gaze swept across the Behemoth Chief God. His divine body was strong and powerful, and he gave off astonishing divine power. The aura around him was much more powerful than the Behemoth Chief God whom Meng Lei had previously killed.</p><p>He was evidently a higher Chief God!</p><p>“You want to fight head-on with me?” Meng Lei shook his head with a smile and said, “Sure, I’ll satisfy your request!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave a grand wave and sent the Behemoth Chief God out of the Time Prison. The moment he appeared, the Behemoth Chief God let out a roar and smashed its fist toward Meng Lei.</p><p>His divine body was strong and powerful, and he possessed Herculean strength. His punch was powerful enough to smash any intermediate Chief God dead, and even most higher Chief Gods would have to shy away from it.</p><p>Unfortunately…</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head a little. A purplish-red ball of energy formed at his fingertip, becoming bigger and bigger. By the time the Behemoth Chief God’s fist reached him, the energy ball had already become as big as a basketball.</p><p>“Go!”</p><p>With a flick of Meng Lei’s fingers, the energy ball crashed full frontal into the Behemoth Chief God’s fist.</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>A shocking sight ensued—the iron fist that carried a fierce momentum and was mighty enough to smash the Nidhogg Continent into bits and pieces was instantly destroyed the moment it came into contact with the energy ball. As though it was a moth that had stumbled straight into bubbling lava, next was his forearm, his upper arm, and at last, his shoulder…</p><p>“How can this be?”</p><p>The Behemoth Chief God stared at his right arm that had soundlessly disappeared upon being destroyed, his eyes big and round. Shock and incredulity filled his eyes.</p><p>“No matter how powerful your divine body is, in the face of destruction laws of nature, it has no choice but to be destroyed and disappear!”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head slightly. This was what destruction laws of nature were like—they soundlessly destroyed and wiped out everything without needing much ado.</p><p>A couple of breaths later, the energy ball continued to float undamaged in the air, whereas the Behemoth Chief God had vanished—for life. The energy ball had completely annihilated him, leaving behind nothing at all.</p><p>At the sight of this, the other 133 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison felt their scalps going numb.</p><p>“The power of destruction laws of nature!”</p><p>“Damn! That’s the power of destruction laws of nature!”</p>

Chapter 412 - Battling The Three Juggernauts

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 412 - Battling The Three Juggernauts</h1><p>Chapter 412: Battling The Three Juggernauts</p><p>Although supreme laws of nature were indeed unsurpassed and paramount to many Chief Gods, they weren’t actually that far off from them.</p><p>Intermediate Chief Gods and higher Chief Gods made up one-third of the 133 Chief Gods. Now, these were all entities that had managed to comprehend the existence of supreme laws of nature, and among them were no lack of Chief Gods that had started to comprehend destruction laws of nature!</p><p>This group of Chief Gods had recognized at first glance the purplish-red energy ball that Meng Lei had tossed out. That was destruction laws of nature—or rather, the power of destruction laws of nature!</p><p>Destruction laws of nature ruled over the domain of destruction. Only destruction laws of nature could soundlessly destroy a higher Chief God and render it into nothingness.</p><p>“Damn! Has that guy also comprehended destruction laws of nature?”</p><p>“He’s already comprehended time-based laws of nature, and now he’s also comprehended destruction laws of nature. Isn’t that a little too incredible?!”</p><p>“I really don’t know how that knave managed to do it!”</p><p>The 133 Chief Gods found it astonishing and incredible. As for the three Juggernauts, the shock and horror in their hearts were even stronger and more intense, especially the Destruction Dominus… He had an awful look on his face.</p><p>“He mobilized the power of destruction laws of nature to attack so easily!” The Life Dominus turned to the Destruction Dominus and asked, “Disaryl, to what degree has his comprehension of destruction laws of nature reached?”</p><p>“You know very well the answer, so why bother asking me?” Sharp killing intent permeated the Destruction Dominus’ eyes. “Die! He must die!”</p><p>“Yes, he must!”</p><p>The Life Dominus said with a frown, “But he’s already comprehended time-based laws of nature and destruction laws of nature. It’s very difficult to kill him.”</p><p>“Even so, he still has to!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus snarled, “I am the only one in this vast universe that’s allowed to fully comprehend destruction laws of nature! Anyone else that comprehends destruction laws of nature… Must die!”</p><p>The Life Dominus and Death Dominus nodded, neither of them saying any more.</p><p>Elsewhere…</p><p>“Fight head-on with me? You’re not tough enough!”</p><p>Meng Lei smiled aloofly. Destruction laws of nature were indeed fearsome. Even a lofty higher Chief God had been totally destroyed, leaving behind only a Chief God divine core!</p><p>Meng Lei casually grabbed the Chief God divine core and used his Grim Reaper’s Eye to blast the Behemoth Chief God’s divine spirit apart, thoroughly killing him. Then, he kept the Chief God divine core.</p><p>“Ding! 1 Behemoth Chief God killed. 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals gained.” A timely system notification rang out.</p><p>“Not bad!”</p><p>5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals was no small sum of money. A satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on Meng Lei’s face, and he turned to the other 133 Chief Gods. There were quite a few higher Chief Gods among them. He would definitely earn a nice little sum of money if he killed them all.</p><p>Upon sensing Meng Lei’s gaze, the 133 Chief Gods felt a pang of alarm arise within them, and a hint of bone-chilling iciness ran up their spines. Even someone as strong as the Behemoth Chief God had been instantly killed, so how could they possibly be Meng Lei’s match? Especially when he was looking at them as if he was looking at his prey?</p><p>“Your Holinesses, s-save us!”</p><p>“Juggernauts, save us!”</p><p>“O great Juggernauts, please, I beg you…”</p><p>The 133 Chief Gods cried out for help, their voices turning hoarse from shouting. At the same time, they also fervently attacked the Time Prison. They didn’t care even if their attacks couldn’t even touch the Time Prison, launching all sorts of attacks as if they didn’t cost a thing…</p><p>“Attack!”</p><p>“Kill him!”</p><p>“Attack with full power and suppress him!”</p><p>The three Juggernauts exchanged looks with one another. Then, they transformed into three streaks of light that shot toward Meng Lei, trapping him in the middle before launching their attacks.</p><p>“Descension of The Life Realm!”</p><p>The Life Dominus gave a light shout. Endless green chains formed out of thin air and transformed into innumerable green vines that extended toward Meng Lei in an attempt to bind him.</p><p>These were vines formed from life laws of nature. They could no longer be merely described as “tough, flexible, and indestructible”. It was impossible for one to destroy them unless the power of laws of nature on a similar grade was used!</p><p>Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!</p><p>As though they were ferocious poisonous snakes, several green vines wound swiftly around Meng Lei, trapping him within and wrapping him into a dumpling.</p><p>“I’ve caught him!”</p><p>The Life Dominus was delighted. She had been worried that Meng Lei would use time-based laws of nature, which would make him difficult to capture. But now that she had caught him, things would become a lot easier.</p><p>“Life Deprivation!”</p><p>With a glare from the Life Dominus, sharp thorns immediately emerged from the vines winding around Meng Lei, stabbing into him and absorbing his life force.</p><p>The vines boasted an extremely fearsome absorption rate and could suck a higher Chief God dry in just a few seconds.</p><p>The Life Dominus was sure that she could extract all of Meng Lei’s life essence as long as she could get a few seconds of time. When that happened, he would be doomed for sure!</p><p>“As expected of the Life Dominus! You’re so adept at using life laws of nature.” Marvel filled Meng Lei as he took in the vines’ fearsome devouring ability’s sensation. “It’s just a shame that this move of yours doesn’t work against me!”</p><p>“Quit bragging, knave!”</p><p>The Life Dominus snorted and said, “I’m about to turn you into human jerky, yet you still have the guts to speak such conceited nonsense. You practically don’t even know what you’re saying!”</p><p>“You’re about to turn me into human jerky? That’s not necessarily true!”</p><p>Meng Lei let out a chuckle, upon which the vines that had originally been furiously absorbing his life force quietly stopped. Then, they started to let go of Meng Lei, unwinding round by round…</p><p>“What?”</p><p>A huge jolt went through the Life Dominus at the sight, and her pretty eyes widened so huge that they almost popped out of their sockets. “H-how… did… you…”</p><p>“Surprised?”</p><p>Meng Lei smiled and lightly snapped his fingers. One by one, the vines left him and started to dance in the air around him.</p><p>This almost frightened the Life Dominus to death. She exclaimed, “Life laws of nature! You’ve actually also comprehended life laws of nature?!”</p><p>“Bingo! Unfortunately… It’s too late!”</p><p>Meng Lei reached out and pointed at the Life Dominus. The innumerable vines immediately switched targets and hurtled toward her.</p><p>Blood drained from the Life Dominus’ face, and she hastily used her life laws of nature in an attempt to take back control of the vines. However, it was at this point that she suddenly froze where she was and was rendered immobile.</p><p>Evidently, this was due to time-based laws of nature—they had confined the Life Dominus!</p><p>“Kill him!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus’ and the Death Dominus’ attacks also reached at this point.</p><p>A purplish-red energy ball that emanated torrential power of destruction and a huge white bone claw formed completely from ghastly white mist rushed toward Meng Lei at the same time.</p><p>The purplish-red energy ball was formed completely from power of destruction and thus contained a fearsome amount of power of destruction. Even a higher Chief God like the Behemoth Chief God would be completely obliterated and suffer a bad end if the energy ball were to hit him.</p><p>The bone claw was manifested from the power of death, and an aura of death suffused the air around it. Should one come into physical contact with it, their vitality would undoubtedly be taken from them, and they would lose their life at once.</p><p>“Both your attacks are very swift and fierce. Unfortunately… It’s useless!”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head slightly. Then, he raised his arms and made a light grabbing motion. At once, the energy ball and bone claw that contained fearsome power of destruction and power of death became as docile as lambs and ended up being held by Meng Lei.</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>“How can this be?!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus were horror-stricken. It still made some sense that Meng Lei could grab the power of destruction energy ball—after all, he had managed to comprehend destruction laws of nature—but what the heck was he grabbing the death claw supposed to mean? Had he comprehended death laws of nature, too?</p><p>“As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive!”</p><p>The corners of Meng Lei’s lips quirked upward slightly as he said, “Here, have a taste of your own attacks, too!”</p><p>“Retreat!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus retreated with a burst of speed without a second thought. Yet before they could go far, they became frozen to where they were—it was time-based laws of nature again!</p><p>“The five supreme laws of nature are of the same grade. None of them are any more superior or inferior to another. If I hadn’t comprehended destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature, your attacks would totally have wounded me. But by the same reasoning, my time-based laws of nature can also wound you!”</p>

Chapter 413 - The Supreme Celestial Realm, Semi-Supreme God

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 413 - The Supreme Celestial Realm, Semi-Supreme God</h1><p>Chapter 413: The Supreme Celestial Realm, Semi-Supreme God</p><p>Before Meng Lei had comprehended destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to receive the power of destruction energy ball and the death claw with his bare hands. All he could do was avoid them—because destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature were entirely capable of causing harm to him.</p><p>By the same reasoning, Meng Lei’s time-based laws of nature were naturally also capable of causing harm to the Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus. Frozen to the spot, they couldn’t move at all.</p><p>“As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive! Here, have a taste of your own attacks, too!”</p><p>Meng Lei soundlessly appeared in front of the two Juggernauts. Then, with a light push of his hands, he returned the purplish-red power of destruction energy ball and the ghastly-white bone claw to them.</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>The power of destruction energy ball struck the Destruction Dominus.</p><p>Bam!</p><p>The huge claw hit the Death Dominus squarely.</p><p>The energy ball exploded soundlessly and engulfed the Destruction Dominus while the Death Dominus, whom the bone claw had hit, coughed up a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying.</p><p>It was clear within a single move who was superior to the other!</p><p>“(⊙o⊙)”</p><p>The 133 Chief Gods in the Time Prison became shocked and horror-stricken right away. Never in their wildest dreams would they have ever imagined that the two Juggernauts would actually be absolutely powerless against Meng Lei!</p><p>“How did that happen?”</p><p>“Those are the two Juggernauts! Yet they… they…”</p><p>“Atta boy! You’ve actually comprehended life laws of nature, destruction laws of nature, and death laws of nature! This is just… I don’t even know what I should be saying anymore!”</p><p>Like the others, Moro was also astonished. Meng Lei had displayed the life laws of nature, destruction laws of nature, and death laws of nature that he had comprehended during the brief exchange of blows just now. Together with the time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature that he had also comprehended, that was the full set of all five supreme laws of nature!</p><p>Meng Lei had… Fully comprehended the five supreme laws of nature? News of this could totally shock anyone to death!</p><p>Meng Lei asked casually, “Am I still too full of myself?”</p><p>“Yeah, right!”</p><p>Moro snorted and said, “By fully comprehending all five supreme laws of nature, your strength has completely surpassed a Juggernaut’s and can be even said to be a Semi-Supreme God. How can mere Juggernauts like those four possibly be your match?”</p><p>“A Semi-Supreme God? What a shame that I’m ultimately still not a Supreme God!”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head with a laugh as a hint of longing flashed across his eyes. What was a Supreme God?</p><p>Someone that had comprehended genesis laws of nature!</p><p>To comprehend genesis laws of nature, one would have to fuse supreme laws of nature first!</p><p>Time-based laws of nature + Spatial laws of nature = Space-time laws of nature;</p><p>Life laws of nature + Destruction laws of nature = Destiny laws of nature;</p><p>Destruction laws of nature + Death laws of nature = Order laws of nature;</p><p>Space-time!</p><p>Destiny!</p><p>Order!</p><p>These were the three great genesis laws of nature!</p><p>Since Meng Lei had fully comprehended the five supreme laws of nature, there was hope for him in fusing the various pairs of supreme laws of nature, thereby comprehending genesis laws of nature and attaining the position of a Supreme God of The Universe!</p><p>But the problem was—how was he supposed to fuse these supreme laws of nature together?</p><p>Fusing basic laws of nature together was already an incredibly difficult task, let alone supreme laws of nature?</p><p>One could easily imagine just how high the level of difficulty involved in this was!</p><p>Could he rely on the system?</p><p>But where was he supposed to pick up genesis laws of nature fragments from?</p><p>Elsewhere…</p><p>The power of destruction energy ball had finally dissipated after his own attack struck the Destruction Dominus. However, the Destruction Dominus currently looked like he was in an exceedingly pathetic state.</p><p>A small half of his divine body had been obliterated, though, under the effects of Eternal Energy, his divine body was already swiftly repairing itself. His bloodshot eyes, which brimmed with endless killing intent and hatred, bore deeply into Meng Lei.</p><p>The Death Dominus wasn’t any better. The huge bone claw had nearly taken him apart. He might appear to be in much better condition than the Destruction Dominus on the surface, but the reality was that he was also heavily injured and wasn’t in any better condition.</p><p>“Damn it! That goddamn worm!”</p><p>The Death Dominus let out a deep bellow. It had been so many years since the last time he suffered any injuries, yet he had suffered such grievous ones today.</p><p>Meng Lei!</p><p>It was all thanks to Meng Lei!</p><p>“Let’s attack with our full power later, Disaryl. We must kill him!” shouted the Death Dominus.</p><p>“I also hate him to the core, but… It’s going to be very difficult to kill him!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus bellowed deeply, “You saw that, didn’t you? He’s already fully comprehended your death laws of nature, my destruction laws of nature, life laws of nature, and time-based laws of nature! He has four great supreme laws of nature gathered all within himself. We can’t kill him at all!”</p><p>“That may not necessarily be the case!”</p><p>The Death Dominus spoke in a hoarse voice, “Although supreme laws of nature are unsurpassed and paramount, they are not impossible to fight back against. Don’t forget, we still have the supreme Celestial Realm!”</p><p>“The supreme Celestial Realm?”</p><p>A huge jolt went through the Destruction Dominus.</p><p>“That’s right, the supreme Celestial Realm!”</p><p>The Death Dominus lowered his voice and said, “The supreme Celestial Realm is one of the only two supreme existential planes in the vast universe. The supreme Power of Existential Plane it contains is strong enough to fight against supreme laws of nature. We need only to combine our efforts and transfer the supreme Celestial Realm’s power over, and we’ll be able to suppress him!”</p><p>“Indeed!”</p><p>Sudden enlightenment came over the Destruction Dominus upon the Death Dominus’ words, and he couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “We were too careless this time. Had we been in the supreme Celestial Realm, how would he possibly have been our match?”</p><p>“There’s no point in saying that at this point,” The Death Dominus shook his head and said, “Let’s do it!”</p><p>“Alright!”</p><p>The two Juggernauts quickly connected their senses to the faraway supreme Celestial Realm and started to transfer its power over.</p><p>Amidst grand, deafening explosions, a gigantic rip suddenly formed in the sky. Roiling waves of Power of Existential Plane gushed out of the rip, converging to form a massive existential plane hologram.</p><p>The existential plane was simply too huge!</p><p>It shrouded the entire sky in its shadow the moment it appeared. For a moment, the sky in the Earth Divine Realm became completely covered, and practically even the sun itself was blotted out.</p><p>The existential plane hologram gradually took form as the Juggernauts continued to transfer Power of Existential Plane over. Through the dimensional walls, one could see everything in the hologram. Birds, animals, insects, fishes, mountains, rivers, streams, forests, oceans… Every little thing, including everything that one could ever think of, was reflected!</p><p>That was the supreme Celestial Realm!</p><p>“What terrifying Power of Existential Plane!” Meng Lei’s expression changed slightly. “What existential plane is that, exactly? It can actually give off such rich Power of Existential Plane?”</p><p>“That’s the supreme Celestial Realm.”</p><p>Moro gazed at the existential plane hologram that was becoming increasingly solid and said, “Evidently, the Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus can’t do anything about you, so they could only remotely transfer the supreme Celestial Realm’s Power of Existential Plane to fight you.”</p><p>“The supreme Celestial Realm?”</p><p>Meng Lei broke into a frown. He said, “The Earth Divine Realm is extremely far away from the supreme Celestial Realm, yet they can still transfer such terrifying Power of Existential Plane despite the great distance separating the two. Were we in the supreme Celestial Realm, to what extent would the two Juggernauts’ combat prowess reach?”</p><p>“That’s why I say that you’re simply too lucky, kid!”</p><p>A smiling Moro shook his head and said, “The four Juggernauts can only fully exhibit all 100% of their combat prowess in the supreme Celestial Realm. The Juggernauts are only true Juggernauts when that happens! It’s just a shame that those four were too careless and actually came all the way to the Earth Divine Realm to punish you. This is simply so…”</p><p>Moro didn’t even know what he should say anymore. Juggernauts that displayed 100% of their combat prowess were extremely strong and powerful. It was no exaggeration to even call them Semi-Supreme Gods. Yet the four Juggernauts had dug their own graves and left the Celestial Realm…</p><p>To this, one could only say—the evil one brought upon themselves was the hardest to bear!</p><p>Meng Lei nodded slowly and asked, “Moro, to what extent would I reach if I assimilate the supreme Celestial Realm’s Heart of The Existential Plane and completely control the supreme Celestial Realm?”</p><p>Moro stared blankly at him for a moment before he replied, “You’ll become extremely fearsome if that happens. As for how strong you’ll become… Even someone like me can’t make an accurate assessment on that.”</p><p>One would become comparable to a Supreme God by completely assimilating a high-end existential plane’s Heart of The Existential Plane.</p><p>In that case, by completely assimilating a supreme existential plane’s Heart of The Existential Plane, how far would one be able to go?</p><p>To tell the truth, even Moro wasn’t sure—because no one had managed to achieve that in the last era!</p><p>“I’ll give it a go, then!”</p><p>Meng Lei licked his lips, his gaze flitting across the three Juggernauts and 133 Chief Gods. He said, “I’ll know the answer once I kill them all and take their Chief God divine cores!”</p><p>Moro nodded as a hint of anticipation flashed across his eyes as well. He was also looking forward very much to seeing how strong Meng Lei would become once he had both the supreme Celestial Realm’s whole and complete Heart of The Existential Plane and his five supreme laws of nature!</p>

Chapter 414 - Power Of Celestial Realm, A Complete Wipe Out

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 414 - Power Of Celestial Realm, A Complete Wipe Out</h1><p>Chapter 414: Power Of Celestial Realm, A Complete Wipe Out</p><p>The huge existential plane hologram gradually solidified, almost becoming a reality as it hovered above the skies of the Earth Divine Realm like a juggernaut.</p><p>It caught the attention of the countless lifeforms in the Earth Divine Realm. At the moment, they were all flattened to the ground.</p><p>There were no exceptions from Great Perfection deities and high-level higher deities, down to Saint Domains, half-deities, and lesser deities. They all prostrated onto the ground as they trembled and found it hard to breathe, panicking as if the end of the world fell upon them.</p><p>“Oh god! What in the world is this?”</p><p>“Power of Existential Plane at a horrifying level! It’s more terrifying than the Earth Divine Realm’s own!</p><p>“Perhaps it’s…”</p><p>Disregarding the fear among everyone in the realm, the Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus stared at Meng Lei bitterly, their eyes filled with murderous intent.</p><p>“Today will be your death anniversary!”</p><p>“Oh really? Then try as much as you want!”</p><p>Meng Lei stood mightily in the air as winds blew across his robes, causing them to flap loudly in the wind. He seemed at ease as if the Celestial Realm’s hologram was nothing to him.</p><p>“Celestial Realm’s power! Suppression!”</p><p>Both Juggernauts let out a long howl as the terrifying Power of Existential Plane descended from the skies, covering millions of kilometers to lock down the area.</p><p>“Supreme laws of nature! Repel!”</p><p>Another roar rang as the supreme laws of nature in the area faded away like retreating tides. No, it did not just fade away—it was more like being forced to retreat.</p><p>Yes, that’s right!</p><p>The supreme laws of nature in the area could actually be forced away by the Celestial Realm’s power.</p><p>If nothing went wrong, it would take only a few seconds for this space to be left with the ten basic laws of nature while the supreme laws of nature would cease to exist.</p><p>“To be able to force off supreme laws of nature, the Celestial Realm’s power is great indeed.” Meng Lei’s face became solemn.</p><p>“Retreat at once, little fellow!” Moro hurriedly reminded. “Without the supreme laws of nature, you’ve already lost your best weapon at your disposal, like a toothless tiger. You won’t stand a chance against them!”</p><p>“Indeed!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded slightly as his body shot backward.</p><p>“Thinking of fleeing? Dream on!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus sneered as the Celestial Realm’s power crashed toward Meng Lei like tidal waves.</p><p>The speed of the Celestial Realm’s power was unrivaled as it reached before Meng Lei in an instant and was about to overwhelm him.</p><p>At the sight of that, the two Juggernauts could not help with the smiles on their faces. They knew that once he became affected by the Celestial Realm’s power, Meng Lei would surely be suppressed, and by then, death would be certain.</p><p>However, just as the two Juggernauts were starting to think of how to torture Meng Lei, he disappeared suddenly and strangely on the spot.</p><p>(⊙o⊙)</p><p>“What’s going on?”</p><p>The two Juggernauts were bamboozled.</p><p><em>Gone in thin air?</em></p><p><em>How?</em></p><p>“Disappointed?”</p><p>Meng Lei’s voice rang as both Juggernauts looked in the direction. He was already more than millions of kilometers away. They were stunned. “How did this happen?”</p><p>“Forgot to mention that other than the time-based, life, destruction, and death, I comprehended the spatial laws of nature too.” Meng Lei gave a faint smile. “Thus, no matter how fast the Celestial Realm’s power is, it won’t suppress me at all!”</p><p>“…”</p><p>Both Juggernauts went silent, but waves crashed loudly in their minds.</p><p>It was logical that Meng Lei could comprehend the spatial laws of nature in the knowledge that he had already comprehended the other four. Still, that was the fifth one.</p><p>Time, Space, Destruction, Life, Death—how could there be such a freak who comprehended all five supreme laws of nature!?</p><p>“Kill him! We must kill him!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus was rather hysterical. “If he doesn’t die today, we’ll surely be finished in the near future. He must die right now!”</p><p>The Death Dominus nodded in agreement. “We’ll save the Life Dominus and the other Chief Gods first!”</p><p>“Alright!”</p><p>The Celestial Realm’s power instantly extended to the Life Dominus and 133 Chief Gods, forcing the five supreme laws of nature away from that area. Without the influence of the time-based laws of nature, they were finally freed.</p><p>“Let’s join hands to kill that knave!”</p><p>“Alright!”</p><p>The three Juggernauts and the 133 Chief Gods stared at Meng Lei with an intense intent to kill. Everyone knew the meaning of the battle. Meng Lei had comprehended all five supreme laws of nature, and his capabilities were miles ahead of a Juggernaut. His very existence pulled everyone’s nerves.</p><p>Moreover, no one was certain whether Meng Lei could comprehend the genesis laws of nature. If he made it, no one could be spared.</p><p>Hence, he must die.</p><p>“Chief Gods of the Celestial Realm, utilize the Celestial Realm’s power with me!” the Destruction Dominus roared. “Chief Gods of the Divine Realm, surround that knave to create opportunities for us!”</p><p>Upon hearing that, the 133 Chief Gods split into two groups, including 43 Chief Gods from the Supreme Celestial Realm, to use the realm’s power. The Supreme Celestial Realm became more realistic with their help, and the Celestial Realm’s power became even more powerful.</p><p>90 Chief Gods of the nine Divine Realms charged at Meng Lei. It was a suicidal act, but their eyes were filled with determination.</p><p>One reason was the Destruction Dominus’ order. The other was that if Meng Lei did not die, they would become the ones who were dead.</p><p>Since they were dying either way, why would they not try their best?</p><p>However, it was a pity that they overestimated themselves.</p><p>“A bunch of ignorant fools. All of you thought you could drag me down?”</p><p>Gazing at the 90 Chief Gods coming for him, Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “Since you have a death wish, I shall grant that.”</p><p>After the first sentence, Meng Lei teleported in front of the 90 Chief Gods and threw out a Spatial Prison to immobilize them instantly.</p><p>Watching how things went, the three Juggernauts hurriedly used the Celestial Realm’s power to press onto Meng Lei. However, before the Celestial Realm’s power could go near, the 90 Chief Gods had disappeared.</p><p>Meng Lei had disappeared too.</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>“You bastard!”</p><p>“You sly worm!”</p><p>The three Juggernauts were too angry as they exclaimed furiously.</p><p>“Guess that’s another disappointment!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s voice rang from billions of miles away, with 90 Chief Gods standing by his side. In that split second, he had already brought those Chief Gods to appear with him.</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>“Spatial laws of nature are too annoying!”</p><p>“What should we do now?”</p><p>The three Juggernauts’ expressions darkened. At that moment, they missed the Space Dominus. If he was around, everything would be simple with his spatial laws of nature.</p><p>Yet now…</p><p>Elsewhere…</p><p>Meng Lei did not bother about the three Juggernauts anymore as he turned his attention to the 90 immobilized Chief Gods.</p><p>The 90 Chief Gods were trembling while their faces turned pale. It was a fact that they would want to kill Meng Lei and dice him up into a million pieces, but…</p><p>“You all are mere ants to me. If you didn’t provoke me, I wouldn’t even care about you. But since you’ve come to die, I don’t mind assisting you all with that!”</p><p>Meng Lei swept a glance at the 90 Chief Gods as a purple-red energy ball appeared on his fingertips, which he threw into the spatial prison with ease.</p><p>“Noooo!”</p><p>“Spare us!”</p><p>Looking at the darting purple-red energy ball, the 90 Chief Gods were aghast.</p><p>It was the power of destruction energy ball made from energies of destruction laws of nature. The slightest touch would obliterate that person instantly.</p><p>“Save us, my great Juggernaut! Please save us!”</p><p>“Aahhh!”</p><p>The destruction energy ball ravaged and devoured the 90 Chief God. Nothing was left behind except for 90 divine cores!</p>

Chapter 415 - An Anti-Climatic End To A Strong Start, Leaving Pathetically

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 415 - An Anti-Climatic End To A Strong Start, Leaving Pathetically</h1><p>Chapter 415: An Anti-Climatic End To A Strong Start, Leaving Pathetically</p><p>Even though they were hailed as Chief Gods, they were nonetheless weak and frail in the face of supreme laws of nature. A lone destruction energy ball massacred 90 Chief Gods straightaway.</p><p>90 Chief God divine cores floated quietly in mid-air as they gave off brilliant, dazzling light. If the masses of deities were to see this, they would go berserk with jealousy for sure.</p><p>Those were 90 Chief God divine cores!</p><p>They were things that could create 90 Chief Gods! If they could get their hands on them, they would definitely experience a meteoric rise and become one of the most supreme and unsurpassed existences in the universe!</p><p>“Dead? Are they all dead?”</p><p>A billion kilometers away, the three Juggernauts and 43 Chief Gods stared at the 90 Chief God divine cores floating in the air. Chills ran down their bodies so much that they were practically giving off cold air.</p><p>90 Chief Gods… had died just like that?</p><p>This was simply too astounding a sight!</p><p>One must know that these weren’t 90 pigs, 90 sheep, or 90 grams of cabbage but 90 Chief Gods they were talking about! These were 90 supreme entities that stood at the pinnacle of the universe!</p><p>Yet… They had died just like that?</p><p>The three Juggernauts weren’t in that much shock, but the 43 Chief Gods were shaking like leaves while their eyelids spasmed as fear and horror overcame them.</p><p>They had lost every ounce of battle spirit in this instant. All they wanted was to leave this place right away and get far, far away from Meng Lei. The further, the better.</p><p>But the problem was—where could they go? They had already offended Meng Lei to the point of no return, so where could they even go?</p><p>“Kill them, Grim Reaper’s Eye!”</p><p>“Ding! 1 Angel Chief God killed. 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals gained.”</p><p>“Ding! 1 Colossal Dragon Chief God killed. 1 trillion Divinity Crystals gained.”</p><p>“Ding! 1 Behemoth Chief God killed. 100 trillion Divinity Crystals gained.”</p><p>System notifications rang out in close succession as the Chief Gods’ divine spirits were erased one by one.</p><p>By the time all 90 Chief Gods’ divine spirits were destroyed, Meng Lei’s Wealth had spiked by 47,754 trillion Divinity Crystals.</p><p>Nine higher Chief Gods, 27 intermediate Chief Gods, and 54 lesser Chief Gods had provided Meng Lei with 45,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, 2,700 trillion Divinity Crystals, and 54 trillion Divinity Crystals, respectively, bringing the total to 47,754 trillion Divinity Crystals.</p><p>Now, this was an exceedingly dramatic sum! One must know that Meng Lei had received only 20,000 trillion Divinity Crystals when he killed the Space Dominus!</p><p>A satisfied smile came over Meng Lei’s features after he cast a glance at his Wealth attribute. He kept the 90 Chief God divine cores with a grand wave, and then, he turned to the three Juggernauts and 43 Chief Gods.</p><p>“Surrender yourselves, Juggernauts.” Meng Lei said calmly, “Your outcomes have been set in stone. Don’t bother doing any more futile struggling.”</p><p>“How perverse of you to actually slaughter so many Chief Gods so wantonly, you knave! We won’t let you off!” A look of savagery appeared on the Destruction Dominus’ visage. How he wished he could tear Meng Lei into a million pieces!</p><p>“You won’t let me off? Hah!”</p><p>Meng Lei scoffed and shook his head. He didn’t take the Destruction Dominus’ threat to heart at all. Now that he had mastered spatial laws of nature, he had already become unbeatable.</p><p>Of course, due to the Celestial Realm’s power, Meng Lei couldn’t do anything about the three Juggernauts and the others at the moment, either. This greatly displeased Meng Lei, and he asked, “Is there any way I can deal with them, Moro?”</p><p>Moro shook his head. He replied, “The three Juggernauts have forced the supreme laws of nature into a retreat by using the Celestial Realm’s power. I can’t think of any better solution, either. Waiting is your only option now.”</p><p>“Wait?”</p><p>Meng Lei frowned.</p><p>“Yes, wait. Wait for the Celestial Realm’s power to recede.”</p><p>Moro nodded slowly and said, “The supreme Celestial Realm is extremely far away from the Earth Divine Realm. With such a great distance in between, even people as powerful as the three Juggernauts won’t be able to mobilize the Celestial Realm’s power for an extended period of time. They will eventually tire, and the Celestial Realm’s power will also eventually recede.”</p><p>“How long would I have to wait?”</p><p>Meng Lei didn’t have that much patience.</p><p>Moro sank into a brief moment of contemplation before he said, “I don’t know. At least a few hours, I guess.”</p><p>“I have to wait for so long?”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head. Despite his displeasure, there was indeed nothing that he could do about the Celestial Realm’s power, so all he could do was just wait quietly for now.</p><p>How could the three Juggernauts possibly not understand what Meng Lei was planning when they noticed that he had ceased his attacks? This filled them with so much hate that they were close to going berserk, yet there was simply nothing they could do.</p><p>“What do we do? What do we do now?”</p><p>“That knave is obviously waiting—waiting for us to get tired, and waiting for the Celestial Realm’s power to recede! When that happens, he’ll definitely make a comeback and kill us!”</p><p>“Although it pains me to do so, now that things have come to such a pass, we have no other choice but to make a strategic retreat and temporarily leave the Earth Divine Realm.”</p><p>“Leave? How can we do that?”</p><p>“You don’t want to leave? Then you can just die!”</p><p>“Are we supposed to just leave like that with our tails between our legs?!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus clenched his fists tightly.</p><p>“Disaryl, do you still not see the situation for what it is?”</p><p>The Death Dominus shouted hoarsely, “That knave has already comprehended spatial laws of nature. We can’t suppress him even if we mobilize the Celestial Realm’s power. He can run a few light-years away just by teleporting once. It’s too difficult for us to catch him!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus fell silent, as did the Life Dominus.</p><p>“In addition, he has also comprehended the other four supreme laws of nature, thus making him far more powerful than us. Once we show any fatigue, he won’t let us off for sure!”</p><p>The Death Dominus went on. “The only thing we can do now is to make a temporary retreat. As long as we can return to the supreme Celestial Realm, we’ll have a million ways that we can deal with him!”</p><p>“Now that things have come to this, we can only resort to that.”</p><p>The Life Dominus nodded slightly in approval at the Death Dominus’ suggestion. She didn’t want to take any risks at all.</p><p>“Damn it!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus clenched his fists. “I really can’t accept this!”</p><p>“Let’s just retreat!”</p><p>The Death Dominus shook his head slightly. Then, he mobilized the Celestial Realm’s power and swiftly flitted into the distance, showing no desire to linger at all. He was the Death Dominus, someone that ruled over death and was used to seeing deaths. He knew what death implied and was thus also the most rational among them.</p><p>The Life Dominus cast an indignant glance at Meng Lei. Then, she also turned and left.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus was the only one whose eyes bore coldly into Meng Lei, and he said, “I await your arrival in the Celestial Realm, you knave!”</p><p>Then, he left without even so much as a look behind him. The 43 Chief Gods naturally didn’t dare to linger, either, and they also turned and left.</p><p>“Are they leaving just like that?”</p><p>Meng Lei raised his brows slightly. He was just about to stop them when Moro spoke. He said, “Don’t bother. You won’t be able to stop the three Juggernauts when they are determined to leave.”</p><p>“I can’t?”</p><p>As it turned out, Meng Lei indeed couldn’t stop the three Juggernauts and the others. They were terribly sneaky, using the Celestial Realm’s power to wrap around themselves and constantly keeping up their guard against Meng Lei.</p><p>Should Meng Lei dare to go near them, they would attack with the Celestial Realm’s power, ready to suppress him anytime. Afraid of the Celestial Realm’s power, Meng Lei didn’t dare to go too near.</p><p>“The Celestial Realm’s power sure is fearsome!”</p><p>In the end, Meng Lei could only let them leave.</p><p>“You’ve repelled and beat back the three great Juggernauts, kid!”</p><p>As Moro watched the three Juggernauts completely disappear from his line of sight, he couldn’t help but marvel, “This achievement is practically unprecedented in history and never to be again seen in the future!”</p><p>“What a pity that I didn’t manage to kill them, though!”</p><p>An awfully indignant Meng Lei heaved a sigh.</p><p>“It’s very hard for you to kill them now, but you’ll have plenty of chances to do so in the future.” Moro gave him an odd smile and said, “Besides, there are also advantages to not killing them, y’know!”</p><p>“What do you mean?”</p><p>Meng Lei broke into a slight frown.</p><p>“Kid, you can plunder other people’s comprehension of laws of nature, right?” asked Moro instead.</p><p>“That’s right!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded.</p><p>“That’s exactly it!” Moro chuckled and said, “I believe the three Juggernauts will give you a surprise the next time you meet them!”</p><p>“What exactly are you talking about, Moro?”</p><p>The more Meng Lei listened, the more confused he became.</p><p>“You’ll see!”</p><p>Moro didn’t provide any further explanation.</p><p>“Tch! I can’t believe you’re leaving me hanging!”</p><p>Meng Lei snorted lightly. Then, he returned to the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains once more.</p><p>All the Earth Divine Realm Chief Gods, as well as all the Chief Gods from the other nine Divine Realms, were dead.</p><p>It could be said that all 100 Chief Gods from the ten major Divine Realms had been fully wiped out and annihilated!</p><p>However, their riches, as well as their clans’ riches, were still around, and these riches undoubtedly made up an astronomical sum of money. There was no way Meng Lei would let them go.</p><p>But Meng Lei had to first revive Fatty Hart, Puhaman, and the others before looting those riches. One must know that they were either dead or had become mentally disabled…</p><p>Reviving them wasn’t hard for the current Meng Lei at all. Fifteen minutes later, all of them were revived and back to being alive and kicking.</p><p>“Let’s go! We’ll go to the other godly clans!”</p>

Chapter 416 - Looting Riches, Juggernaut-Class Divine Spirit

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 416 - Looting Riches, Juggernaut-Class Divine Spirit</h1><p>Chapter 416: Looting Riches, Juggernaut-Class Divine Spirit</p><p>There were a total of ten Chief Gods in the Earth Divine Realm. Thus, there were also ten major godly clans there. Apart from the Nidhogg clan, Meng Lei had yet to “patronize” the other nine clans.</p><p>Those nine other clans were Meng Lei’s next targets. As he had fully mastered spatial laws of nature, he could cross countless light years just by teleporting once. Thus, despite how vast and boundless the Earth Divine Realm was, traveling was no issue for Meng Lei at all.</p><p>Meng Lei arrived at the Dougherty Fire Phoenix clan half an hour later. He ransacked the Fire Phoenix clan’s treasury first before going on to the Fire Phoenix Chief God’s personal treasury.</p><p>His Wealth spiked by 50,000 trillion Divinity Crystals after he ransacked the treasuries. Together with the 70,463 trillion Divinity Crystals that Meng Lei had, his total Wealth value reached an astonishing 120,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, the equivalent of 12 Supreme Divinity Crystals!</p><p>Of course, what the Dougherty Fire Phoenix clan’s treasury had the most in abundance weren’t Divinity Crystals but various kinds of precious herbs, medicines, and other treasures instead. These things weren’t of any use to Meng Lei, so they all went to Puhaman and the others instead. He bestowed upon them Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, divine weapons, precious herbs, medicines, and various other treasures…</p><p>Puhaman and the others made a huge fortune in a split second and became the wealthiest deities in the whole wide universe in just a single leap. These, however, weren’t that impressive because Meng Lei then bestowed Chief God divine cores upon them as well.</p><p>Meng Lei had gained a total of 100 Chief God divine cores after he slaughtered the 100 Chief Gods from the ten major Divine Realms. Together with the one that he had previously obtained in the Great Pompeii Desert, that made a grand total of 101 Chief God divine cores.</p><p>Chief God divine cores weren’t of any use to the current Meng Lei at all, so he bestowed them to his subordinates. This made Puhaman and the others terribly excited and filled them with so much gratitude that they were close to shedding tears.</p><p>“Refine them well! I need you guys to watch over the ten major Divine Realms in the future,” instructed Meng Lei.</p><p>“Yes, Master!”</p><p>Puhaman and the others hurried back to the Tower of Time and started to refine the Chief God divine cores while Meng Lei went on to visit the other clans—the Helsa Giant Elephant Gods, the Raphael Angel Gods, the Chilled Frost Gods, the Vados Eternal Gods, and the Dawson Titan Gods.</p><p>…</p><p>A day later, Meng Lei left the Earth Divine Realm.</p><p>Apart from gaining vast amounts of riches, Meng Lei had also obtained two important items from his looting this time—a fire-origin divine body and an ice-origin divine body.</p><p>The fire-origin divine body was found in the Dougherty Fire Phoenix Chief God’s personal treasury. Meng Lei had discovered the carcass of a Fire Phoenix God that happened to be the owner of a fire-origin divine body when he was there, and he plundered it straightaway.</p><p>As for the ice-origin divine body, he had taken it from a Frost God. Like the Fairy Goddess from the Nature Gods, that fellow was a target of high-priority grooming because he had an ice-origin divine body, but unfortunately, he crossed paths with Meng Lei, so his fate was naturally already set in stone.</p><p>After plundering the fire-origin divine body and ice-origin divine body in succession, Meng Lei now possessed five types of origin divine bodies. They were respectively the metal-origin divine body, wood-origin divine body, thunder-origin divine body, fire-origin divine body, and ice-origin divine body. Undoubtedly, he was the groundbreaking first to ever achieve such a thing in the vast universe.</p><p>After Meng Lei left the Earth Divine Realm, he headed to the Forest Divine Realm, which was the Divine Realm nearest in proximity at that time, and carried out another bout of mad plundering and ransacking. Not only were the Forest Divine Realm’s ten major godly clans’ riches cleanly taken by him, but the ten clans also became history at the same time.</p><p>For a moment, Meng Lei’s total Wealth reached an astonishing 1,000,000 trillion Divinity Crystals. This was practically a number unprecedented in history!</p><p>Now that he had so much money, he naturally had to spend it. After all, Meng Lei was no miser. He instructed, “System, how many Divinity Crystals does it cost to strengthen my body?”</p><p>The system’s voice rang out coldly. “Ding! The host’s body is currently comparable to a Supreme Ancient God’s (Higher Chief God) and will rival that of a Supreme Juggernaut’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals. Will you enhance it?”</p><p>“10 Supreme Divinity Crystals?”</p><p>Meng Lei broke into a frown at once. 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals equated to 100,000 trillion Divinity Crystals. This was a huge sum of money. However, what displeased Meng Lei was that he had only gained 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals when he killed the Space Dominus, so why did he need 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals to enhance his own body?</p><p>The cost had increased by a whole five times. What the heck was that supposed to mean?!</p><p>“Will you enhance it?”</p><p>The system’s voice rang out once more.</p><p>“Enhance, my a*s!”</p><p>Meng Lei rolled his eyes. “I won’t enhance my body for now. I’ll go straight to enhancing my divine spirit instead.”</p><p>Meng Lei had his concerns. It was relatively easy to enhance the body—enhancing bloodlines, assimilating origin divine bodies, and other things like that were all capable of boosting the body.</p><p>This wasn’t the case for the divine spirit, however. It was too difficult if he wanted to enhance his divine spirit because he could only do so via the system’s enhancement function.</p><p>Moreover, Meng Lei would be able to use supreme laws of nature more easily, more effortlessly, and more fluently after he enhanced his divine spirit.</p><p>Therefore, he’d better enhance his divine spirit first.</p><p>“Ding! The host’s divine spirit is currently comparable to a Supreme Ancient God’s (Higher Chief God) and will rival that of a Supreme Juggernaut’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”</p><p>“Yes, enhance it!”</p><p>Meng Lei waved dismissively.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>A strong surge of icy aura gushed into his sea of consciousness, pouring straight into his divine spirit flame, causing the golden flame to furiously expand in size.</p><p>Boom, boom, boom!</p><p>It doubled, tripled, quadrupled…</p><p>20 times, 30 times, 40 times…</p><p>80 times, 90 times, 100 times…</p><p>His divine spirit flame went through a mad increase in size all the way until it became 100 times bigger before it gradually came to a stop. His current divine spirit flame hung suspended in his boundless sea of consciousness like a sun, releasing light and heat as much as it wanted and lighting up his entire sea of consciousness.</p><p>This was a visible increase!</p><p>Meng Lei could clearly feel the changes in his divine spirit. His thoughts were incredibly quick, his consciousness incredibly active, and his control of supreme laws of nature had become smoother!</p><p>Then, he spread his divine cognition into the surroundings…</p><p>1 light-year, 2 light-years, 3 light-years…</p><p>80 light-year, 90 light-years, 100 light-years…</p><p>His divine cognition had already spread 100 light-years into the surroundings, yet Meng Lei felt like he could easily go further. It was clear to him that he could spread it even further.</p><p>“Never mind, I’ll stop testing it.”</p><p>Meng Lei quickly retracted his divine cognition. Then, he continued to the next Divine Realm, the Tempest Divine Realm.</p><p>Two days later, Meng Lei left the Tempest Divine Realm. Apart from a spike in his Wealth, as usual, he also plundered and obtained a new type of origin divine body, the wind-origin divine body.</p><p>Next was the Oceanic Divine Realm…</p><p>While Meng Lei was making the rounds around the Divine Realms without even a moment’s pause, the three Juggernauts and 43 Chief Gods finally returned to the supreme Celestial Realm.</p><p>Upon sniffing the familiar air and taking in the omnipresent Celestial Realm power, be it the three Juggernauts or the 43 Chief Gods, all of them couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.</p><p>“I’m back!”</p><p>“I’m finally back!”</p><p>Despite having left for only two days, both the three Juggernauts and the 43 Chief Gods felt like they had had a close shave with death, and they couldn’t help but feel like they had gotten a second chance at life.</p><p>They had personally witnessed the deaths of 90 Chief Gods!</p><p>They had seen with their own eyes Meng Lei’s fearsomeness and savagery!</p><p>Who wouldn’t be afraid?</p><p>Who wouldn’t be shocked and fearful?</p><p>Who wouldn’t have lingering fears?</p><p>“I’ll take my leave first, everyone,” said the Destruction Dominus before he teleported and left straightaway. The Life Dominus and the Death Dominus exchanged a look before they both let out a sigh and left as well.</p><p>They, the four Juggernauts, could be said to have thoroughly embarrassed themselves during their trip to the Earth Divine Realm this time. Not only had they not managed to punish Meng Lei, but he had even killed the Space Dominus while the three other Juggernauts fled with their tails in between their legs. Their dignity and prestige had reached rock bottom, and they had utterly disgraced themselves.</p><p>“Dear all, I’m leaving, too.”</p><p>“Let’s disperse.”</p><p>“Go back and have a good rest!”</p><p>“Everyone, let’s keep in contact at all times. If that knave comes to the supreme Celestial Realm, remember to inform all of us right away. We’ll teleport over!”</p><p>“Understood!”</p><p>“Of course!”</p><p>The 43 Chief Gods also left one after another. After experiencing such a calamity, they only wished to return to their dens and have a good rest now. They were simply too tuckered out.</p>

Chapter 417 - The Gray Skeleton, Destiny Laws Of Nature

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 417 - The Gray Skeleton, Destiny Laws Of Nature</h1><p>Chapter 417: The Gray Skeleton, Destiny Laws of Nature</p><p>As a nearly boundless and endless place, the supreme Celestial Realm’s size far surpassed that of high-end existential planes like the ten major Divine Realms. Its territories were nearly 10,000 times that of high-end existential planes.</p><p>These vast territories were split among the four Juggernauts and 44 Chief Gods, with the Juggernauts occupying the smaller half of the Celestial Realm’s total territories.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus’ turf was located at the Destruction Mountains. The Destruction Mountains stretched for endless light-years and was a mountain belt formed from millions of mountain ranges. Sited in the east of the Celestial Realm, they were known as the Celestial Realm’s ancestral mountain ranges, meaning the origin of the supreme Celestial Realm’s mountains.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus didn’t return to his Destruction Shrine after he returned to the Destruction Mountains. Instead, he headed straight to the underground and started to weave his way about underground, diving downward the whole way.</p><p>After diving for some time, he actually arrived at a red expanse of space. Strong, surging destruction laws of nature filled the area around the space, completely destroying any living thing that dared to come close.</p><p>Floating in the center of the space was a purplish-red coffin. Odd and fascinating-looking laws of nature patterns were engraved on the coffin’s surface, and they gave off energy waves that made one’s heart pound in trepidation.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus gazed at the coffin and let out a faint sigh. “I didn’t expect myself to come to you so soon… Ah well! Never mind!”</p><p>Then, the Destruction Dominus gritted his teeth and erased the destruction laws of nature runes on the coffin’s surface.</p><p>The purplish-red glow on the coffin’s surface dimmed at once. The coffin lid rose into the air, and then a mysterious and incredibly ancient wave of energy began to emanate from within the coffin.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus took a deep breath as he took in the sensation of the incredibly frightening yet also unusually familiar mysterious wave of energy. A hint of anticipation flashed across his eyes.</p><p>“Kekeke~”</p><p>The sound of awfully sinister cackling rang out from within the coffin, followed by crisp-sounding clacks. At once, a grayish arm—no, not an arm. Rather, it was a grayish skeletal arm that reached out of the coffin.</p><p>Innumerable tiny and intricate mysterious patterns covered the grayish skeletal arm’s surface. These patterns were just like tiny little tadpoles, making it hard for one to see them clearly unless they took a close look.</p><p>Right on the heels of it, another skeletal arm reached out of the coffin, followed by a skull, a hollow ribcage, a skeletal upper torso…</p><p>At the end, a grayish skeleton crawled out of the coffin. A grayish will-o’-the-wisp shone brightly in its skull.</p><p>The gray skeleton gazed at the Destruction Dominus with its blank, empty eyes. Its dry, shriveled up skeletal mouth opened and closed as it cackled strangely.</p><p>“Dear Disaryl, I didn’t expect you to come to me so soon. This truly surprises me. I’d thought that I would have to wait till the end of the current era!”</p><p>“Hmph!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus had an awful look on his face. He said grimly, “Stop being so sarcastic. I’ve met with a bit of trouble, and I need your help.”</p><p>“Trouble? Hehehe!”</p><p>The gray skeleton cackled a couple of times, its grayish will-o’-the-wisp also blinking twice, and it said, “If my observations are correct, you likely have already comprehended destruction laws of nature. On top of that, you’ve also assimilated a Heart of The Existential Plane and now possess Juggernaut-class strength. Yet you’ve met with trouble?”</p><p>“You may not believe this,” The Destruction Dominus went straight to the point, “But I’ve run into a freak. A freak who has fully comprehended the five supreme laws of nature and is comparable to a Semi-Supreme God. I hate to admit it, but I’m no match for him!”</p><p>“Mm?”</p><p>The will-o’-the-wisp in the gray skeleton’s skull started to flicker and dance agitatedly upon hearing what the Destruction Dominus said, indicating its similarly agitated emotions. It said, “He’s fully comprehended the five supreme laws of nature? Are you sure? You must understand that there wasn’t anyone that managed to fully comprehend the five supreme laws of nature even in our era back then!”</p><p>“I crossed swords with him just now,” said the Destruction Dominus grimly.</p><p>The puzzled gray skeleton asked, “What period are we currently in, Disaryl? How far has the current era developed?”</p><p>“We’ve just passed two-fifths of it and have yet to reach the midpoint,” replied the Destruction Dominus unhurriedly.</p><p>“…”</p><p>The gray skeleton couldn’t help but gasp. “Someone has already fully comprehended the five supreme laws of nature when we haven’t even reached the current era’s midpoint yet? What kind of joke is that?!”</p><p>“It’s true!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus repeated.</p><p>“He must die!”</p><p>The gray skeleton’s voice turned low and deep as it said, “We failed during the era before the previous, as well as during the previous era. The current era is the only one we have left. This is our only chance. Anything that may possibly threaten us or stand in our way… Must die!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus nodded forcefully and said, “That’s why I’ve come to you. I hope you can do something about it and thoroughly erase him!”</p><p>“No, I can’t make any move for now.”</p><p>The gray skeleton shook its head and rejected the Destruction Dominus’ request. It said, “We’ve yet to reach the halfway mark of the current era, so the world’s order has yet to collapse. It’s currently the point where the power of order is at its strongest. If I make a move, I’ll undoubtedly be erased!”</p><p>“What should I do, then?”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus frowned. “Am I supposed to just allow that kid to grow further? I have to remind you that that kid isn’t even 100 years old yet at this current point in time!”</p><p>“He isn’t even 100 years old yet?”</p><p>The gray skeleton was astonished yet again and couldn’t help but find the revelation incredible. It exclaimed, “Why has such a freakish existence come into existence during this era? This doesn’t make sense at all!”</p><p>“And yet he’s appeared!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus sighed and said, “All lives can only survive for three reincarnation cycles at the most. We’ve already gone through two; this era is our only chance now. We cannot allow any mistakes! Hurry and think of a solution. We don’t have any time to waste!”</p><p>“We don’t have any other choice at this point!”</p><p>The gray skeleton let out a low roar. The grayish will-o’-the-wisp in its skull trembled lightly as if it might break free of the skull’s shackles any moment and leave the body.</p><p>“Aahhh!”</p><p>The gray skeleton let out a painful scream. Its grayish will-o’-the-wisp suddenly split into two, causing the gray skeleton to pant heavily and become incredibly weak in an instant. One half of the will-o’-the-wisp floated out of the skull and over to the Destruction Dominus.</p><p>“These are the destiny laws of nature that I comprehended.”</p><p>The gray skeleton said weakly, “It doesn’t contain any of my consciousness, thoughts, or will, and is just my comprehension of destiny laws of nature in its purest form. You can assimilate it with peace of mind without needing to worry about the power of order.”</p><p>“Got it!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus could hardly conceal the white-hot fervency in his eyes. After all, these were destiny laws of nature! One must know that destiny laws of nature were a type of genesis laws of nature and something that was completely superior to supreme laws of nature!</p><p>“You and I originate from the same source, so you shouldn’t need to take too long to assimilate my comprehension of destiny laws of nature. As long as you can fully comprehend the destiny laws of nature that exist within, this will be sufficient for you to kill that freak of a guy!”</p><p>The gray skeleton instructed, “Remember, you must kill that kid while he has yet to comprehend genesis laws of nature. Otherwise, there’ll be endless trouble to come!”</p><p>“I understand!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus nodded forcefully. Then, he assimilated the will-o’-the-wisp portion in front of him.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>A split second later, an endless torrent of information surged into his sea of consciousness like a breached dam, assailing the Destruction Dominus’ divine spirit.</p><p>“Aahhh!”</p><p>Even someone as strong as the Destruction Dominus couldn’t help but scream again and again from the terrifying information torrent’s assaults. A look of savagery came over his face as he endured the immense pain.</p><p>“Go on and assimilate it!”</p><p>The gray skeleton murmured to itself, “Once you’ve thoroughly assimilated my comprehension of destiny laws of nature, you shall have comprehended destiny laws of nature, and you’ll be able to make the leap to become a Supreme God. Even though you’ll only be a low-level Supreme God, the lowest grade of Supreme Gods, it’ll nonetheless be enough for you to wipe out any Juggernaut!”</p>

Chapter 418 - The Nine Major Types Of Divine Bodies, A Mysterious Tentacle

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 418 - The Nine Major Types Of Divine Bodies, A Mysterious Tentacle</h1><p>Chapter 418: The Nine Major Types of Divine Bodies, A Mysterious Tentacle</p><p>The Earth Divine Realm…</p><p>The Forest Divine Realm…</p><p>The Tempest Divine Realm…</p><p>The Oceanic Divine Realm…</p><p>The Flaming Divine Realm…</p><p>…</p><p>Like a hardworking little bee, Meng Lei hopped from one Divine Realm to another. In under half a month’s time, he had visited nine of the Divine Realms and was left with just the Thunderbolt Divine Realm in the end.</p><p>At the same time, Meng Lei’s Wealth also reached an unprecedented 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>500 Supreme Divinity Crystals!</p><p>That was the equivalent of 5,000,000 trillion Divinity Crystals!</p><p>This was practically inconceivable!</p><p>Of course, Meng Lei also plundered and took a few major types of origin divine bodies along the way. Following his fire-origin divine body, ice-origin divine body, and wind-origin divine body, Meng Lei also gained a water-origin divine body, earth-origin divine body, and light-origin divine body.</p><p>In other words, Meng Lei had assimilated a total of nine major origin divine body types and was only missing one last type now—the dark-origin divine body.</p><p>“I really don’t understand why you’re assimilating all these useless origin divine bodies for!”</p><p>Moro was greatly puzzled. He said, “Origin divine bodies may be powerful, but they are just things that sound precious but are of little practical value to you now. What you should be doing now is fusing supreme laws of nature together and trying your best to comprehend genesis laws of nature, and not wasting time doing these meaningless things!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave him a smile in response. He understood what Moro was saying—indeed, origin divine bodies were certainly very powerful. Any deity that owned an origin divine body would receive priority grooming privileges from their clans because all of them would ultimately be able to attain Great Perfection-level as long as their origin divine bodies weren’t killed.</p><p>Great Perfection deities!</p><p>To a godly clan, their significance was something self-evident. However, the Great Perfection level was nothing to the current Meng Lei. What he should be currently pursuing were genesis laws of nature and becoming a… Supreme God that stood above the Juggernauts!</p><p>Therefore, Meng Lei’s act of pursuing origin divine bodies was tantamount to neglecting the essentials to run after trifles and giving up a precious jewel to go after worthless rubble instead. This was exactly what Moro was thinking.</p><p>“You can just take it that I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, I guess!”</p><p>Meng Lei laughed and said, “Since I’ve already assimilated a few of the major origin divine body types, then why not gather them all? I just took them along the way anyway. It’s not like it takes much effort to do so.”</p><p>“Well, it’s your call, I suppose.”</p><p>Moro shook his head and didn’t continue to argue with Meng Lei over such trivialities.</p><p>“Next stop, the Thunderbolt Divine Realm!”</p><p>Meng Lei detected with his senses the direction in which the Thunderbolt Divine Realm was. Then, he cast the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique and swiftly teleported over. His Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique held incredible might at his current level and could cross a great distance of hundreds of thousands of light-years just by teleporting once.</p><p>In fact, if he were to use it at his full power, even crossing a distance of millions of light-years wouldn’t be any problem. It was no exaggeration to say that the vast universe was no different from a mountain to the current Meng Lei. He could tour the entire mountain in just a few days.</p><p>A few hours later, Meng Lei finally arrived at the Thunderbolt Divine Realm.</p><p>The Thunderbolt Divine Realm was the first Divine Realm that Meng Lei had come into contact with. He had first gotten to know of it through the Titan Spiritual God. It was because that guy had received grooming from the Theodore Titan Gods that Meng Lei had come to know of the Thunderbolt Divine Realm’s existence.</p><p>In Meng Lei’s eyes at that time, just how immensely far away a target had the Thunderbolt Divine Realm been? And how strong and powerful the Theodore Titan Gods? In fact, even the Titan Spiritual God himself had been an incredibly strong and powerful entity to him back then,</p><p>Yet a short period of a few years later, Meng Lei had taken the life of even the Theodore Titan Chief God himself. A mere Titan Spiritual God didn’t even amount to anything anymore.</p><p>How things had changed with time, and how different everything looked now!</p><p>Meng Lei chose the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods as his first stop.</p><p>It hadn’t been long since the Earth Divine Realm battle, so news of the 100 Chief Gods’ deaths had yet to spread. As the storm had yet to reach the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods, the place felt incredibly peaceful and quiet.</p><p>People who should be cultivating were cultivating while people who should enjoy their beauty sleep were enjoying their beauty sleep. It was a sight of peace and harmony.</p><p>“Ignorance… Can also be a kind of happiness sometimes.”</p><p>Meng Lei appeared above the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods’ base. As he gazed at the clan currently still in a peaceful and harmonious state, he couldn’t help but shake his head a little. Then, he located their treasury and teleported into it.</p><p>Heaps and heaps of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!</p><p>Heaps and heaps of Divinity Crystals!</p><p>Of course, because the Colossal Dragons loved shiny and glittery things like gold coins and so on, Meng Lei also noticed a fair amount of gold coins in the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods’ treasury.</p><p><em>Collect! Collect them all!</em></p><p>His Wealth spiked once more.</p><p>After collecting them all, various treasures were the only things that remained in the treasury. There were heaps of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, innumerable divine weapons, and countless precious herbs and medicines. All of these were useless to Meng Lei, so he tossed them all into the Tower of Time, intending to give them all to Puhaman and the others after they were done with assimilating their Chief God divine cores.</p><p>However, one could easily imagine that they would have already made the leap to become great, supreme Chief Gods by the time they came out of seclusion, so they probably wouldn’t take a fancy to these ordinary treasures anymore.</p><p>Meng Lei subsequently found the Haber Colossal Dragon Chief God’s personal treasury.</p><p>It was pretty much more or less the same as all the other Chief Gods’ personal treasuries. There were no vulgar, temporal things like Divinity Crystals or precious herbs and medicines in the Haber Colossal Dragon Chief God’s personal treasury. The only things there were ancient artifacts like Void Beast body remains, Demon Grandmasters’ sharp teeth, Chief God-level divine weapons, and so on.</p><p>Meng Lei didn’t hold any interest in these things. He kept the ones that he should keep and tossed the ones that he should toss to the little golden tree. In the end, only one item was left.</p><p>This was a pillar whose thickness was that of someone circling their arms together. Measuring about a meter in diameter and ten meters in length, its surface was covered in tiny and dense scales. It appeared simple and unadorned and looked completely inconspicuous. In spite of that, Meng Lei nevertheless broke into a frown…</p><p>… Because he could feel an incredibly strong life force in the odd pillar.</p><p><em>It looks like a broken horn or tentacle from some kind of creature. But no matter what it is, isn’t the life force it contains a little too scary? It’s even scarier than the Space Dominus!</em></p><p>Meng Lei could hardly hide the astoundment in his eyes. At his level of cultivation, he was already a knowledgeable man with broad horizons. Hardly anything attracted his attention now.</p><p>And yet… This particular pillar had managed to do so!</p><p>But wasn’t this just an ordinary pillar?!</p><p><em>What kind of creature’s organ is this, exactly? A Void Beast’s? That’s not quite possible, though.</em></p><p>Even the strongest Void Beast out there was no stronger than a Juggernaut. No matter how fearsome their body was, their life force couldn’t get any much stronger than a Juggernaut’s.</p><p>Moreover, the pillar had a very peculiar body makeup and composition. It was unlike any other creature in the universe. To be more accurate, there was no sign of any laws of nature in it at all.</p><p>Now, that was incredible!</p><p>One must know that every creature that the universe birthed—including even the Void Beasts born in the Void itself—was deeply stamped with the mark of the universe’s laws of nature.</p><p>This was just like how all lives born on Earth were carbon-based lifeforms. Just like what the name suggested, they were lifeforms founded on the basis of carbon atoms.</p><p>By the same logic, all lives born by the vast universe were born and formed under the influence of the ten basic laws of nature, five supreme laws of nature, and three great genesis laws of nature. Thus, their body compositions were completely marked by the universe’s laws of nature.</p><p>Yet, that wasn’t the case for this particular pillar. One couldn’t see any sign of the universe’s laws of nature on it at all. Rather, it was a body composition that was entirely new and unfamiliar!</p><p>Now, that was incredible!</p><p>“Do you recognize this, Moro?” asked Meng Lei.</p><p>Moro had been staring hard at the pillar for a while now. His brows occasionally drew together and occasionally relaxed. It was as if he recognized it, yet also not. Upon Meng Lei’s question, he shook his head and replied, “I’ve never seen anything like that before, but I have some kind of vague idea in my mind.”</p><p>“Tell me about it,” said Meng Lei.</p><p>“That thing is obviously some kind of lifeform’s organ, but you can’t see any sign of the universe’s laws of nature in its composition at all. Therefore, my bold guess is that there’s a chance that it may originate from beyond the universe,” replied Moro.</p><p>“From beyond the universe?”</p><p>A huge jolt went through Meng Lei.</p><p>“Yes, from beyond the universe.”</p><p>Moro’s voice was low and deep as he said, “The universe is endless and boundless. As lifeforms born by the universe, we are unaware of what lies beyond the universe, but this doesn’t stop us from making bold conjectures.”</p><p>“Go on,” urged Meng Lei.</p><p>“Mortals that live in low-end existential planes have never been aware of the existence of mid-end existential planes, high-end existential planes, or even supreme existential planes.”</p><p>Moro said slowly, “By the same logic, is there an even more spacious and higher-grade world outside of the universe that we live in?</p><p>“As the saying goes, there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. Perhaps we, who think that we are great, mighty existences, are also little turtles living in a tiny pond. Who’s to say for sure?”</p><p>A huge jolt mentally went through Meng Lei. What Moro said made sense.</p>

Chapter 419 - : Primordial Kun, Sudden Change

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 419 - : Primordial Kun, Sudden Change</h1><p>Meng Lei understood what Moro said more than anyone else.</p><p>Taking Earth as an example, ancient humans did not know that the ground they stood on was round, not knowing that they were living on a sphere. Beyond the Earth, they knew nothing about outer space, be it the solar system, the Milky Way Galaxy, or the entire universe. Even in the modern age, knowledge about space was limited.</p><p>That was the limitation of one’s cognition.</p><p>In this aspect, those lofty Juggernauts were the same. They lived inside the vast universe, and they had never stepped foot beyond it or received any information about it. Hence, their cognition had its limitations too.</p><p>What was beyond the universe?</p><p>No one knew!</p><p>Perhaps, it was a world of nothingness.</p><p>Maybe, it was an even larger world.</p><p>What exactly was it?</p><p>Who knew!</p><p>No matter what, no one could refute Moro’s speculations, especially after seeing this mysterious pillar. The possibility was very high.</p><p>“System, plunder the bloodline within this pillar,” Meng Lei ordered suddenly.</p><p>“Ding! Plundering target: Whisker of the Primordial Kun ¹ . Target substance: The Primordial Kun bloodline. Plundering cost is estimated at 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you plunder it?”</p><p>“Primordial Kun?”</p><p>Meng Lei perked up. “System, what kind of creature is the Primordial Kun?”</p><p>There was no response.</p><p><em>Damn it! Playing dead again!</em></p><p>Meng Lei scolded in his thoughts, but he could not do anything to the system. Instead, he turned to Moro. “Moro, do you know a creature known as Primordial Kun?”</p><p>“Primordial Kun?” Moro paused a while before shaking his head. “Never heard of it.”</p><p>“Fine!”</p><p>Meng Lei turned his attention back to the whiskers of the Primordial Kun. Despite the lack of knowledge, Meng Lei believed that the price of plundering its bloodline alone was too outrageous.</p><p>“What kind of creature requires so many Supreme Divinity Crystals just to plunder the bloodline in its whisker?” Meng Lei muttered, “This Primordial Kun must be an incredibly fearsome creature!”</p><p>Of course, it might be fearsome, but Meng Lei was not stupid enough to spend 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals to plunder the bloodline of the Primordial Kun. 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals were worth his entire savings, which he could not bear to spend.</p><p>Meng Lei kept this whisker and left the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods base as he continued visiting the Titan Gods, Angel Gods, Fire Phoenix Gods, Frost Gods…</p><p>Lastly, Meng Lei arrived at the territory of Nature Gods.</p><p>The Nature Gods base was situated in the Nature Mountains. The gigantic structure could be sighted from a long way out as it towered on the mountain top. The tree crown covered hundreds of light-years with an enormously thick trunk like a heavenly pillar.</p><p>Enormous!</p><p>Lofty and majestic!</p><p>Tall and towering!</p><p>Blotting out the skies!</p><p>“So this is the Ancient Tree of Life?”</p><p>Meng Lei gazed at the gigantic tree that rose into the skies. He was at a loss for words since it was the largest lifeform he had ever seen.</p><p>The four Supreme Divine Trees—the Earth Divine Realm’s Mother Tree of Earth, the Oceanic Realm’s Deep Sea Coral Willow, the Light Divine Realm’s Fusang Divine Tree, and the Metal Divine Realm’s Golden Apple Tree. Comparing their size alone, the Ancient Tree of Life was the largest of all of them.</p><p>It was enormous in size and rich in vitality that could be felt from afar. A deep breath of the air around would energize a person immediately.</p><p>“As expected from the top of the five Supreme Divine Trees!” Meng Lei remarked as he flew toward the direction quickly.</p><p>Rustle, rustle!</p><p>Just as Meng Lei got nearer to the Ancient Tree of Life, the tree shook, and an aged voice rang. “Outsiders shall take no further steps forward!”</p><p>“Eh? They’ve discovered me?”</p><p>Meng Lei was surprised. He had plundered 99 godly clans of the ten Divine Realms before this, but no one had discovered his presence. He did not expect that the Ancient Tree of Life could detect him.</p><p><em>Interesting.</em></p><p>Meng Lei’s mouth quirked upward as he stopped to ask, “Ancient Tree of Life, why did you stop me here?”</p><p>“Outsider, the Nature Gods have closed off the mountain, forbidding anyone to step inside. Please leave at once.” The voice came from the Ancient Tree of Life.</p><p>“Closed off the mountain? Why so?”</p><p>Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.</p><p>“Please leave immediately, outsider!” the Ancient Tree of Life replied slowly.</p><p>“I’m not here today to worship or for the reputation of the Nature Gods. I’m here to take away my trophies!” Meng Lei said with a faint smile.</p><p>“Trophies?”</p><p>The Ancient Tree of Life became puzzled.</p><p>Meng Lei said dispassionately, “I’ve killed your Chief God. Her wealth and the riches of the entire Nature Gods are naturally my trophies! Any objections?”</p><p>“What did you just say?”</p><p>The Ancient Tree of Life trembled violently while an enormous face appeared on its trunks. It could no longer cover up the horror on its face.</p><p>Meng Lei was taken aback. “Do you know that the Nature Goddess is dead?”</p><p>“I nurtured the Nature Goddess myself, and I have a unique connection with her. I could sense that she had fallen half a month ago.” The Ancient Tree of Life stared at Meng Lei closely and continued. “As for how she had fallen, I knew nothing about it.”</p><p>“I see.” Meng Lei nodded. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell you that I was the one who killed your Nature Goddess. Other than her, 99 Chief Gods from the ten major Divine Realms are dead too.”</p><p>“This…”</p><p>The Ancient Tree of Life was in utter shock as his gaze on Meng Lei was filled with terror and shock. It could never have imagined that Meng Lei had managed to wipe out 100 Chief Gods. It was simply… simply…</p><p>Horrifying!</p><p>“So, are you still going to block my way?”</p><p>An amused Meng Lei smirked.</p><p><em>Block you? No way I’m doing that!</em></p><p>The Ancient Tree of Life almost wet itself in fear as it answered in a trembling voice, “You first, sir!”</p><p>“Good!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded his head as he flew toward the base of the Nature Gods. The Ancient Tree of Life was only a Great Perfection-level lifeform, so Meng Lei did not think much of it.</p><p>“My goodness! What is this guy?”</p><p>The Ancient Tree of Life watched the back of Meng Lei as it trembled in fear.</p><p>The divine cognition shrouded the entire Nature Gods Mountains as Meng Lei found the treasury of the Nature Gods and the Nature Goddess’s private treasury. He was in no rush to plunder them as he casually grabbed a cool, elegant goddess in black robes over.</p><p>“W-who are you?”</p><p>The Dark Goddess was cultivating inside her shrine when she was caught. The fact that she was powerless to resist made her fearful. She knew unquestionably that she had met a terrifying existence.</p><p>Normally, she would not be that afraid with the Nature Goddess around. Who would dare to cause trouble over here?</p><p>Times had changed, however, as the Mother Tree had said due to the Nature Goddess’ demise. The Nature Gods were faced with the greatest crisis in their history.</p><p>How could the Dark Goddess be calm when the powerful enemy caught her all of a sudden?</p><p>“No worries, I won’t kill you.”</p><p>Meng Lei gave a warm smile.</p><p>“W-what do you want?”</p><p>The Dark Goddess’s face turned pale.</p><p>“Borrow something from you!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave the order to plunder.</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>The Dark Goddess felt an unknown great power engulfing her before she sensed that something was taken away from her. She became incredibly weak as though her divine body had been emptied.</p><p>“W-what have you done to me?”</p><p>Her face had turned ghastly pale by this point.</p><p>Meng Lei did not answer. It was not that he did not want to. Something unexpected happened the moment the dark-origin divine body assimilated into his body.</p>

Chapter 420 - : Gray Substance, Primordial World Body

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 420 - : Gray Substance, Primordial World Body</h1><p>What was an origin divine body?</p><p>And what was the origin?</p><p>There were ten major basic laws of nature in the universe—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, dark, and ice.</p><p>The ten basic laws of nature corresponded to their respective laws of nature powers, which were also known as the “ten major Powers of Origin”. This was what the word “origin” meant in this case.</p><p>Origin divine bodies were divine bodies manifested from Power of Origin. For example, a thunder-origin divine body was a divine body manifested from thunder-elemental Power of Origin.</p><p>Similarly, wood-origin divine bodies were divine bodies manifested from wood-elemental Power of Origin. This was the same for fire-origin divine bodies, light-origin divine bodies, dark-origin divine bodies, and so on.</p><p>This was what an origin divine body was.</p><p>During the last half a month where Meng Lei had been going around the ten Divine Realms and plundering vast amounts of riches, he had also successfully plundered the ten major types of origin divine bodies along the way.</p><p>This had originally purely just been Meng Lei’s obsessive-compulsive disorder at play and was something that he had done in passing while he was at it. However, in the instant that he assimilated the last type of divine body he was missing—the dark-origin divine body—into himself, something completely out of Meng Lei’s expectations happened.</p><p>Although the nine preexisting types of Power of Origin inside Meng Lei’s body had combined with one another and come together to jointly form Meng Lei’s body, the way they were combined was just like a house’s cement, steel beams, tiles, and concrete—they were simply grouped together and assembled using a special method with nothing beyond that.</p><p>The nine types of Power of Origin had combined with one another, yet were clearly separated and remained independent of one another, each of them keeping to themselves. They were akin to nine men and women sleeping on the same bed. Although they were on close and intimate terms, they nevertheless remained as nine individuals.</p><p>However, in the instant Meng Lei assimilated the dark-elemental Power of Origin, the nine types of Power of Origin that had originally been clearly separated and existed independent of one another had actually bizarrely fused together, much like snow melting in hot water, candles flowing into lava or sodium hydroxide into hydrochloric acid…</p><p>The nine, no, ten types of Power of Origin swiftly fused together to form an ordinary-looking, simple, and unadorned gray substance.</p><p>The golden metal-elemental Power of Origin was rapidly vanishing.</p><p>The green wood-elemental Power of Origin was also rapidly vanishing, as was the blue water-elemental Power of Origin.</p><p>…</p><p>All ten differently-colored types of Power of Origin were rapidly disappearing while more and more of the ordinary-looking, simple, and unadorned gray substance was forming at high speed!</p><p>The ten types of Power of Origin were disappearing while a new substance formed and increased in quantity. This waxing and waning of substances formed a strange and peculiar sight in Meng Lei’s body.</p><p>“Why is this happening?” Meng Lei looked absolutely stupefied. “The ten types of Power of Origin… Have actually fused into an all-new type of gray substance? What the heck is this?”</p><p>As time went by, the ten types of Power of Origin rapidly decreased while the simple and unadorned gray substance swiftly increased.</p><p>Roughly half an hour later…</p><p>The ten colors representing the ten types of Power of Origin were completely gone, and in their place was instead the gray substance.</p><p>“My ten origin divine bodies… are gone?” Meng Lei was lost for words. “They’ve… become a gray divine body instead?</p><p>“What the hell!</p><p>“F*ck! What the hell are they doing!? What the f*ck is this!?”</p><p>Meng Lei couldn’t help but swear.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Suddenly, roiling soundwaves erupted and spread into the surroundings, followed by a low, dull explosion. The void in front of him was instantly destroyed and turned into a black hole.</p><p>(⊙o⊙)</p><p>Meng Lei was rather stunned. He muttered, “What’s going on?”</p><p>Why had the void suddenly been destroyed for no reason?</p><p>Meng Lei took a couple of quick looks around him, but there was no one around except him. In other words, he was the one that had caused the destruction of the void and the formation of the black hole just now.</p><p>“What did I do?” muttered Meng Lei as he scratched his head. Then, he frowned and cursed again, “What the f*ck!”</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Soundwaves from his curses erupted into the surroundings again, forming a black hole in front of him once more. The whole expanse of space had been destroyed.</p><p>“What the f*ck!!!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s eyes widened big and round. However, the moment the expletive left his mouth, the void in front of him broke into bits and pieces again…</p><p>“What the f*ck!!!”</p><p>“Goddamnit!”</p><p>“What the f*ck! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”</p><p>“Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!”</p><p>…</p><p>“…”</p><p>The Dark Goddess was pretty much having a mental breakdown at this point. Why was it so hard for her to just stay in the shrine and cultivate?</p><p>She wasn’t even going to talk about how someone had captured her for no reason anymore. And so be it even if they did, right? But the thing was, the fellow that had captured her was simply too terrifying, especially because the aura he gave off was actually constantly becoming stronger and stronger, ultimately reaching a horrifying extent.</p><p>The Dark Goddess swore that in comparison to that guy, even the Nature Goddess herself was no different from a light bulb in front of the blazing sun—there was no comparability between the two at all!</p><p>This was especially when even the void itself was destroyed with just a casual shout from that fellow. This frightened the living daylights out of the Dark Goddess. She could clearly sense the incredibly fearsome might contained in every word that Meng Lei uttered—it was so powerful that it could almost crush even her divine spirit into pieces!</p><p><em>Just who exactly is that guy?</em></p><p>The Dark Goddess was filled with fear and trepidation, so she swiftly retreated away from Meng Lei while his attention wasn’t on her.</p><p>She didn’t dare to linger any longer. Otherwise, she would be dead before she knew it.</p><p>“Break!”</p><p>“Destroy!”</p><p>“Break!”</p><p>Roar!</p><p>Meng Lei continuously tested his newly-gained “Verbal Attack” skill like an idiot. He didn’t expect that even a random shout of his would contain such fearsome might now!</p><p>The void was destroyed, causing black holes to form!</p><p>The mountains collapsed and turned into dust!</p><p>How frightening!</p><p>This was simply too frightening!</p><p>Even Meng Lei himself was shocked!</p><p>After his initial astoundment, however, Meng Lei gradually realized that he hadn’t actually gained a fearsome new “Verbal Attack” skill. Rather, it was because… His current body was too powerful!</p><p>That’s right, his body!</p><p>His current body that was formed from the mysterious gray substance was simply too powerful. Meng Lei couldn’t give a concrete judgment as to how powerful it was, either. However, he had a feeling that he could easily poke even the three Juggernauts dead with just one finger if they were to stand before him again!</p><p>On top of that, Meng Lei also felt like he had an unusual sense of control over the void around him. This sense of control was just like the sense of control that he had gained when he assimilated Heaven’s Vault Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane and became its master.</p><p>But the problem was—Meng Lei clearly hadn’t assimilated the Thunderbolt Divine Realm’s Chief God divine core yet, so why would he develop such a sense of control?</p><p>Meng Lei couldn’t explain it, either, but he simply did possess such a sense of control over the void around him. He didn’t need its Heart of The Existential Plane nor a Chief God divine core, and neither did he need to cast God’s Domain, yet he was simply able to control the area, regardless.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Meng Lei suddenly threw a punch. Strong, surging energy blasts exploded into the surroundings, instantly traveling dozens of light-years into the distance. In the blink of an eye, the whole area had been reduced to nothing. The dimension itself had been destroyed, the mountains had been destroyed, and billions of lives… had also been destroyed.</p><p>Every material substance in the area, be it tangible or intangible, powerful or weak, in liquid form or solid form… All of them had been destroyed and disappeared!</p><p>What was the most frightening was that even the supreme laws of nature chains and the power of supreme laws of nature enveloping the area seemed to also have… disappeared along with them?</p><p>“I-is it supposed to be this fearsome?” Even Meng Lei himself was shocked. “What exactly happened to me? What is this gray substance?”</p><p>The moment he wondered about that, Meng Lei couldn’t help but glance at the system’s stats interface—and he was stunned the moment he did.</p><p>Host: Meng Lei</p><p>Race: Primordial World ¹ Human</p><p>Wealth: 512 Supreme Divinity Crystals</p><p>Physical Body Constitution: Primordial World Body</p><p>Spirit: Supreme Juggernaut</p><p>Laws of Nature: Time (100%), Destruction (100%), Life (100%), Spatial (100%), Death (100%)</p><p>“Primordial World Human!? Primordial World Body!?”</p>

Chapter 421 - Advanced Energy, Destruction Of The Celestial Realm

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 421 - Advanced Energy, Destruction Of The Celestial Realm</h1><p>Meng Lei spaced out as he looked at his stats interface.</p><p><em>The Primordial Human bloodline… gone?</em></p><p><em>Every bloodline I had… gone?</em></p><p><em>Now it’s… Primordial World Human?</em></p><p><em>What kind of race is that?</em></p><p><em>And the Primordial World Body? What kind of body is it this time?</em></p><p>Meng Lei rubbed his temples as he felt a headache. The system probably would not come up with any answers, so he could only leave his questions aside.</p><p>“Not going to lie, this body is getting stronger!”</p><p>Meng Lei clenched his fist and felt an endless barrage of power running within. He was amazed.</p><p>This time, it was not an illusion whenever his strength grew exponentially anymore. It was now truly endless and boundless as Meng Lei finally possessed true infinite power.</p><p>One punch could not just destroy an entire continent. It was not a problem for him to smash a high-end existential plane like the Thunderbolt Divine Realm into smithereens.</p><p>That was not an illusion too.</p><p>“After assimilating all ten origin divine bodies, it actually became a Primordial World Body. That was unexpected, but it’s good news anyway.”</p><p>Meng Lei was in a good mood. What else could be happier than turning his body into a Primordial World Body?</p><p>“Meng Lei, what’s wrong?” Moro’s question rang in his ears. “How did your divine body become so strong that even I got a little fearful? And why couldn’t I feel the aura of your origin divine body anymore? What happened to you exactly?</p><p>“That’s a rather complex story,” Meng Lei shook his head. “Have you heard of the Primordial World Body?”</p><p>“Mm? Never heard of it.”</p><p>Moro shook his head slightly.</p><p>Meng Lei was not surprised. “Well, Moro, you might not believe this, but right after I assimilated the dark origin divine body, the ten major types of origin divine bodies assimilated to become an entirely new form known as the Primordial World Body!”</p><p>“Really?”</p><p>Moro was stunned.</p><p>“That’s right!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded heavily.</p><p>“The assimilation of the ten major types of origin divine bodies would become a Primordial World Body?” Moro muttered. “Perhaps it means that the ten major Power of Origins can be assimilated to become the Power of Primordial World?”</p><p>“That’s exactly what I’m thinking!” Meng Lei nodded. “After assimilating the ten Power of Origins, it did turn into a new grayish substance, and my divine body’s composition is completely made up of this grayish substance!”</p><p>As he said that, Meng Lei opened up his palm as a seemingly simple and unadorned grayish energy appeared.</p><p>“So this is that new substance?” Moro stared at the grayish energy closely and murmured, “Looks normal and insignificant to me. How can it be so powerful?”</p><p>With that in mind, Moro released his divine cognition as he attempted to wrap in the gray energy to analyze its composition. However, once it came into contact with the gray energy, he felt that his divine cognition quickly melted as if an ice cube met lava…</p><p>“Ugh! Darn it!”</p><p>Moro cried as he removed his divine cognition while he looked at the gray energy with terror in his eyes.</p><p>“How did this happen? My divine spirit had gone through the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process and possessed the special attribute of immortality. How could this gray energy dissolve away my divine spirit?”</p><p>“Oh, I forgot to remind you, Moro!” Meng Lei scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, “This kind of substance can even break down supreme laws of nature chains and power of supreme laws of nature!”</p><p>“What?”</p><p>Moro was stunned once again.</p><p>“It’s true!”</p><p>Meng Lei let out a breath and extended his left arm. He activated the time-based laws of nature chain and brought the warm golden chain toward the gray substance.</p><p>In the next moment, an amazing scene occurred.</p><p>The time-based laws of nature chain that Moro had dubbed as an ‘undying substance’ dissolved silently once it contacted the gray substance.</p><p>Meng Lei kept on extending the chain as it continued to dissolve until there was nothing left.</p><p>The gray substance remained to hover on his palm. It seemed as normal as it was, unadorned, harmless, insignificant…</p><p>“D-dissolved?</p><p>“The time-based laws of nature have dissolved? What the! How’s that even possible? Just how?</p><p>“The time-based laws of nature was an undying substance. How could it be dissolved like this!?”</p><p>Moro gasped as the scene he witnessed here was way beyond his knowledge on the undying substance.</p><p>The supreme laws of nature chain and the power of supreme laws of nature were undying substances, after all!</p><p>What was an undying substance?</p><p>It could never deplete, disappear, erode, or be destroyed even if it was the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process.</p><p>Yet what had just happened?</p><p>The time-based laws of nature getting destroyed was unheard of, so Moro could not help but become greatly stunned.</p><p>“If I’m not wrong, this kind of gray substance must be something more advanced than the supreme laws of nature.”</p><p>Meng Lei gave his verdict.</p><p>“That’s the only possibility,” Moro muttered. “But what kind of energy is this?”</p><p>“Who knows?” Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “For now, we’ll call it Power of the Primordial World.”</p><p>“Hmm, Power of the Primordial World,” Moro had a complex look on his face. “So, what will be your next move?”</p><p>“Let’s go to the supreme Celestial Realm to take care of those pesky bugs first.” A glint flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes.</p><p>“No!”</p><p>Moro did not think twice to stop Meng Lei. “The supreme Celestial Realm is ruled by the three Juggernauts, where they can maximize their full power. I strongly advise against the idea of entering the supreme Divine Realm before you comprehend the genesis laws of nature.”</p><p>The corner of Meng Lei’s mouth quirked up slightly. “Moro, I would have followed your advice if it’s in the past. But now… there’s no need for such a cowardly move!”</p><p>“You mean…”</p><p>Moro looked at Meng Lei in astonishment.</p><p>“You’ll see right away!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave an odd smile before teleporting out of the Thunderbolt Divine Realm into the Void, which was millions of light-years away. Moro was in utter shock. “You managed to leave the Thunderbolt Divine Realm just like that? How did you do that?’</p><p>“Well, Moro, you might not believe this.” Meng Lei gave a faint smile. “I have a feeling that the entire Thunderbolt Divine Realm, wait! No! Not just that, the entire universe has become my domain!”</p><p>Meng Lei teleported a few more times to travel countless light-years as he arrived before the supreme Celestial Realm.</p><p>The enormous supreme Celestial Realm was like a huge space battleship that floated in the Void, surrounded by innumerable meteors and floating continents.</p><p>Under the gravity of the supreme Celestial Realm, these countless meteors and floating continents orbited around the supreme Celestial Realm in a dense formation.</p><p>“We’re in the supreme Celestial Realm already?” Moro was stunned till he got a little numb. “Terrifying! This is too terrifying!”</p><p>“That’s nothing compared to what’s next!”</p><p>Meng Lei chuckled before he suddenly gave a punch to the dimensional wall of the supreme Celestial Realm. A gray aura shot off his fist with a loud blast and landed on the dimensional wall.</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>The strike blasted a huge hole in the dimensional wall while the gray aura continued to spread throughout the wall. The sturdy dimensional wall disintegrated quickly like how snow melted when one poured boiling water.</p><p>In the end, nothing was left of the wall.</p><p>For a while, the hole became larger and larger, expanding tens of thousands of light-years away, forming a huge black hole.</p><p>This black hole was like a giant scar on the surface of the supreme Celestial Realm. It was obvious and jarring…</p><p>“This, this…”</p>

Chapter 422 - Chief God Divine Cores, Assimilating Them All

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 422 - Chief God Divine Cores, Assimilating Them All</h1><p>The Life Garden was a flowerbed that hung suspended high up in the sky. An endless amount of green foliage intertwined with one another to form a heavenly pillar covered in flowers. It supported the Life Garden, making it appear as if it was floating in mid-air.</p><p>The Life Garden wasn’t very big. Innumerable rare and precious flowers and plants grew everywhere inside it, giving off a rich and strong fragrance. In the center of the flowers and plants stood a shrine—it was none other than one of the Celestial Realm’s four Juggernauts, the Life Dominus’ shrine, known as the Life Shrine.</p><p>The battle in the Earth Divine Realm had nearly scared the living daylights out of the Life Dominus. When she returned to the Life Shrine, she had casually left behind some instructions and immediately entered seclusion.</p><p>She wanted to comprehend the supreme laws of nature further and become even stronger so that she would be able to respond to Meng Lei’s revenge anytime. She believed that Meng Lei would never let matters rest.</p><p>Boom, boom, boom!</p><p>At this exact moment, a series of booms suddenly traveled over from the sky, awakening the Life Dominus with a start. She lifted her head in surprise to see that a black hole—a gigantic black hole that was rapidly increasing in size and spreading—had formed in the sky a great distance away.</p><p>“What happened over there?”</p><p>The Life Dominus’ expression changed dramatically. She hurriedly flew out of the shrine and looked into the distance with the help of the Celestial Realm’s power.</p><p>What entered her sight was the supreme Celestial Realm currently under fierce attack. The attacks had even gone beyond the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls’ endurance capacity, causing the dimensional walls to be swiftly destroyed.</p><p>This greatly astonished the Life Dominus.</p><p>As a supreme existential plane that surpassed even high-end existential planes, the Celestial Realm boasted a stable dimension, where its dimensional walls were incredibly tough and durable. It was very difficult for Juggernauts like her to deal large-scale damage to the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls even if they were to borrow the Celestial Realm’s power.</p><p>Yet large expanses of dimensional walls were being destroyed and disappearing into nothingness. The Life Dominus couldn’t even imagine just what kind of intense attacks the Celestial Realm must currently be under in order for them to deal such an extent of damage to the dimensional walls!</p><p>“Who is it? Who exactly is attacking the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls? Could it be Meng Lei? No, that’s impossible! He’s not that strong! In that case, who exactly could it be?”</p><p>The look on the Life Dominus’ face was rather volatile, changing from time to time. Had it been any other time, she would have charged over a long time ago if anyone dared to make any trouble in the Celestial Realm. But this time…</p><p>The Life Dominus was hesitating. The other party was unimaginably strong. She didn’t dare to take any risks with her life at stake!</p><p>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!</p><p>Ten figures appeared one after another at this point—they were none other than the ten Chief Gods under the Life Dominus’ command.</p><p>There were a total of 44 Chief Gods in the Celestial Realm, with ten under each of the four Juggernauts and the remaining four not under anyone’s command.</p><p>“O great Juggernaut!”</p><p>Fear, alarm, and anxiety filled the ten Chief Gods’ eyes. All of them had become fearful and jittery ever since the battle in the Earth Divine Realm. Now that the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls had come under such attacks, how could they possibly not panic?</p><p>“O Juggernaut, it must be Meng Lei! He must be the one who’s attacking the Celestial Realm’s dimensional walls! He’s clearly trying to destroy the Celestial Realm by doing that! What should we do?”</p><p>“O Juggernaut, hurry and think of something! The consequences would be unthinkable if he really destroys the Celestial Realm!”</p><p>“O Juggernaut—”</p><p>“Shut up, all of you!”</p><p>The Life Dominus had a terribly awful look on her face. She barked grimly, “Let’s go to the Destruction Dominus and the Death Dominus first. We’ll deal with those powerful enemies together after that!”</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>Someone teleported over at this point. The Chief Gods quickly turned over to the newcomer, upon which looks of joy immediately came over their faces. They chorused, “Greetings, Lord Death Dominus!”</p><p>The Life Dominus heaved a sigh of relief right away at the sight of the newcomer. She said, “You’re here, Hadas!”</p><p>“Mmhmm.”</p><p>The newcomer looked haggard and withered and was deathly pale. An aura of death also circled all around him. It was none other than the Death Dominus, one of the three great Juggernauts. His gaze swept across the ten Chief Gods before he subsequently looked at the Life Dominus. His voice was hoarse and sharp as he said, “Is Disaryl not here yet?”</p><p>“He’s not there?”</p><p>“No, he isn’t,” replied the Life Dominus with a shake of her head.</p><p>“Mmhmm.”</p><p>The Death Dominus made a casual sound of acknowledgment.</p><p>The Life Dominus nodded slightly. Then, the puzzled Life Dominus asked, “Why did you come by yourself, Hadas? Where are the ten Chief Gods under your command?”</p><p>“Them? They’re all dead,” replied the Death Dominus emotionlessly.</p><p>“They’re dead?”</p><p>Huge jolts went through the Life Dominus and the ten Chief Gods. Looks of incredulity filled their eyes.</p><p>“What did you say, Hadas? The ten Chief Gods under your command are dead? How can that be? How did they die? It can’t be that Meng Lei has killed them?”</p><p>“No, Meng Lei didn’t kill them.” The Death Dominus shook his head. “I did!”</p><p>“Y-you killed them?”</p><p>The Life Dominus and the ten Chief Gods’ expressions changed drastically. The Life Dominus shouted fiercely, “Why did you do that, Hadas?!”</p><p>“If they didn’t die, then I would have to!”</p><p>The Death Dominus spoke indifferently and apathetically as if he was just talking about something that wasn’t even worth a mention. He said, “Now that a freak like Meng Lei has been born in this universe, we, the three Juggernauts, are no match for him at all. I can only do my best to strengthen myself so that I can deal with him.”</p><p>“So, you decided to kill the ten Chief Gods under your command?”</p><p>The Life Dominus had an awful look on her face. She knew why Hadas had done something like that, of course.</p><p>Hadas must have killed the ten Chief Gods under his command, taken their Chief God divine cores, and then assimilated them to strengthen himself!</p><p>Indeed!</p><p>This was certainly a shortcut to quickly strengthen himself because the more Chief God divine cores he assimilated, the stronger Hadas’ control over the supreme Celestial Realm would become. By borrowing the Celestial Realm’s power, Hadas’ combat strength would increase rapidly—there was no doubt about that!</p><p>But how could Hadas bring himself to do that?</p><p>Those ten Chief Gods were already Hadas’ followers countless years ago, all trusted subordinates of his. How could he bring himself to do that?</p><p>“You’re out of your mind, Hadas!”</p><p>The Life Dominus gnashed her teeth in anger.</p><p>“Everything is for the sake of dealing with Meng Lei.” The Death Dominus remained apathetic as he said, “Meng Lei will eventually kill us all if we cannot fight back against him. Since we have to die sooner or later anyway, then why not let me kill them and strengthen myself instead?”</p><p>“You—”</p><p>The Life Dominus was at a loss for words.</p><p><em>What he says makes so much sense that I’m actually freaking lost for words?</em></p><p>“Take a look for yourself. Things have developed just like I expected. Meng Lei has indeed come, and on top of that, he’s become even stronger than before!”</p><p>The Death Dominus gazed into the far distance at the constantly enlarging black hole. He said, “We have to stop him. Thus, I need to gain even more power…”</p><p>The Life Dominus suddenly had a bad feeling. She asked, “What are you intending to do, Hadas?”</p><p>“Not much. Just borrowing their Chief God divine cores for a quick use!”</p><p>The Death Dominus turned to the ten Chief Gods with a look of absolute indifference on his deathly pale countenance. Then, he raised his right hand and made a light grabbing motion.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>A white bone palm suddenly appeared and grabbed at the ten Chief Gods.</p><p>“Noooo!”</p><p>“Dammit!”</p><p>“Spare us, Juggernaut!”</p><p>“Run!”</p><p>Upon hearing what the Death Dominus said and subsequently seeing the bone claw that suddenly attacked them, the ten Chief Gods under the Life Dominus’ command were frightened out of their wits. They ran at once, only to discover to their horror at the next moment that they had been completely trapped to the spot.</p><p>“The Celestial Realm’s power!”</p><p>“This is the Celestial Realm’s power!”</p><p>The ten Chief Gods knew what kind of power it was that was trapping them. They hastily activated their Chief God divine cores to mobilize the Celestial Realm’s power in an attempt to escape, but what they couldn’t accept was that the Celestial Realm power imprisoning them was far stronger than what they could mobilize!</p><p>They… were still immobile!</p><p>“Stop your futile struggles.” The Death Dominus said apathetically, “You can’t run from me.”</p><p>“Help!”</p><p>“O Juggernaut, save us!”</p><p>Terrified, the ten Chief Gods begged the Life Dominus for help. They could only pin their hopes on the Life Dominus at this point. She was the only one that could save them now!</p><p>“Stop it, Hadas!”</p><p>The Life Dominus let out a fierce shout. She wanted to disperse the Celestial Realm power that was imprisoning the ten Chief Gods, but what astonished her was that she had actually failed!</p><p>“How can this be?”</p><p>The Life Dominus tried once more, but it ended in failure again.</p><p>“I forgot to tell you something—not only have I killed the ten Chief Gods under my command, but I’ve also killed the 20 Chief Gods under the Space Dominus’ and the Destruction Dominus’ command, as well as those three that are not under anyone.”</p><p>The Death Dominus said dispassionately, “In other words, I’ve already assimilated 33 Chief God divine cores, and I’ve reached an unprecedented level of control over the Celestial Realm.”</p><p>“3… 33 Chief God divine cores?”</p><p>The Life Dominus almost lost her control over her bladder and wet herself in fear the moment she heard what the Death Dominus said.</p><p>33 Chief God divine cores! What kind of concept was that?</p><p>Legend had it that one could rival a Supreme God just by assimilating ten Chief God divine cores from high-end existential planes. In that case, now that the Death Dominus had assimilated 33 from the supreme Celestial Realm, how strong must he have become?</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The bone claw instantly engulfed the ten Chief Gods and thoroughly destroyed them in one move. Only ten Chief God divine cores remained at the spot where they had previously been.</p><p>At the sight, the Death Dominus couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile. Once he assimilated these ten Chief God divine cores, he’d have assimilated a total of 43 Chief God divine cores. When that happened, his combat strength would reach an incredible stage. Meng Lei… What was there to fear about him?</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>Just as the Death Dominus was about to grab at the ten Chief God divine cores, the Life Dominus also moved. She teleported to the area right in front of the ten Chief God divine cores…</p><p>“Stop, you cheap slave girl!”</p><p>The Death Dominus’ expression changed at once. Powerful waves of Celestial Realm power emerged from him and went crushing toward the Life Dominus at once. He was dead set on taking those ten Chief God divine cores, so how could he possibly allow the Life Dominus to take them?</p><p>Boom!</p><p>As though they were torrential tidal waves, surging waves of Celestial Realm power attacked the Life Dominus in an instant, pouring down onto her all at once. The Life Dominus let out a cry and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The Celestial Realm power imprisoned her to the spot right away, and her face turned deathly pale.</p><p>“Hmph!”</p><p>The Death Dominus caught the ten Chief God divine cores in his hand and gazed coldly at the Life Dominus. He said, “That was a nice idea, cheap slave girl. It’s just a shame that… you’re too weak!”</p><p>“Hadas!”</p><p>The Life Dominus glared furiously at the Death Dominus, her expression one of savagery.</p><p>“As a Juggernaut, you’re too foolish.”</p><p>As the Death Dominus erased the Chief God divine spirits inside the divine cores, he also said apathetically, “To think you’re not even trying to strengthen yourself when we’re already in such a crisis. On top of that, you were even dreaming of protecting the Chief Gods under your command. There isn’t any Juggernaut who’s more foolish than you!”</p><p>“What do you want, Hadas?!” bellowed the Life Dominus.</p><p>“Why bother asking when you already know the answer?”</p><p>The Death Dominus let out an icy snort and began to assimilate the ten Chief God divine cores. It was very hard for ordinary deities to assimilate Chief God divine cores. They needed a very long time to do it, such as Puhaman and the others.</p><p>However, it was very easy for the Death Dominus to do so. After dripping his blood onto the Chief God divine cores to claim ownership over them, he stored them in his sea of consciousness one by one and successfully refined them.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>In the instant that the ten Chief God divine cores were successfully assimilated into his body, not only did the Death Dominus’ force of presence not become any stronger, but it even became barely discernible as though it wasn’t even there at all.</p><p>Yet the Life Dominus’ face turned even paler at the sight. In this instant, she felt as if the Hadas currently standing in front of her had already merged with the entire supreme Celestial Realm. It was as if… Hadas was the supreme Celestial Realm itself! And the supreme Celestial Realm was Hadas himself!</p><p>The Life Dominus knew that this was because Hadas had assimilated too many Chief God divine cores. It was to the extent that he had almost fully refined the whole supreme Celestial Realm!</p><p>“This is exactly the feeling!”</p><p>A hint of revelry appeared on Hadas’ face as he took in the sensation of the omnipresent Celestial Realm power.</p><p>“I feel even more like I’m about to become one with the supreme Celestial Realm now! Of course, I still need the last four Chief God divine cores if I really want to become one with the Celestial Realm!”</p><p>Hadas turned to the Life Dominus and said, “On account of how we’re both Juggernauts, why don’t you hand over your Chief God divine core yourself? I can spare your life.”</p><p>“Kill me if you’re that capable, Hadas!”</p><p>The Life Dominus’ voice was sharp and shrill as she said, “Hahaha, you can’t kill me! My divine spirit was modified by Eternal Energy a long time ago. It is immortal and indestructible and will forever exist. You can’t kill me at all!”</p><p>“I certainly can’t, but I can seal you for eternity!” The Death Dominus snorted coldly and reached out at once to gouge out the Life Dominus’ Chief God divine core.</p><p>Unexpectedly, it was right at this moment that a series of claps suddenly rang out beside his ear.</p><p>“Tsk, tsk! I didn’t expect that I would be in time to watch an entertaining show of people massacring one another. Looks like I’m not too late!”</p>

Chapter 423 - Subduing A Juggernaut, An Unprecedented Feat

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 423 - Subduing A Juggernaut, An Unprecedented Feat</h1><p>Just as they were ready to fight any moment, the voice was like a thunderclap that blasted into the ears of the Life Dominus and Death Dominus.</p><p>They looked toward the direction simultaneously, as they saw Meng Lei hovering nearby smiling at them.</p><p>“Meng Lei!”</p><p>The expression of the Life Dominus changed dramatically.</p><p>“It’s you!” The Death Dominus raised an eyebrow. “Little fellow, how bold of you to pursue us all the way here! Since you’ve arrived, don’t think about leaving anymore!”</p><p>“You need not worry. I won’t leave anyway.” Meng Lei waved it off as he smiled faintly. “The supreme Celestial Realm seems like a nice place. I’ve decided to stay for a long time from now on.”</p><p>“Long stay? You mean long gone!”</p><p>The Death Dominus did not pay the Life Dominus any more attention as he used the supreme Celestial Realm’s power to suppress Meng Lei. “Stay here forever, little fellow!”</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The rolling pressure came like crashing tidal waves from all directions toward Meng Lei.</p><p>At that moment, the full potential of the supreme Celestial Realm could finally be showcased. This power had surpassed any other Power of Existential Plane and also surpassed the combined realm’s power used by the three Juggernauts with 43 Chief Gods.</p><p>“Prepare to be obliterated, little fellow!”</p><p>The Death Dominus let out a sinister laugh. “I’ve activated 50% of the realm’s power that no one can survive. Even if you’re halfway through becoming a Supreme God, you’ll surely be crushed into a flesh pie, a meat sauce, mwahaha!”</p><p>“I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”</p><p>Facing the terrifying power, Meng Lei did not move as it enveloped him.</p><p>“You’re almost dead and still speak with such stubbornness!”</p><p>The Death Dominus sneered as he could imagine how Meng Lei would end up smashed into a meat pie. However, his smile stiffened at the very next moment.</p><p>Meng Lei was like an immovable force in the eye of the storm. No matter how the waves crashed and ravaged, Meng Lei stood there unharmed as he smiled calmly.</p><p>It was just like…</p><p>A breeze was caressing his face while he remained firm and unmoving!</p><p>“No way! This is impossible!!”</p><p>The Death Dominus could not accept what he witnessed while the Life Dominus looked like she had seen a ghost.</p><p>The supreme Celestial Realm possessed 48 Chief God divine cores, which created 44 Chief Gods and the four Juggernauts. Currently, other than the two that Meng Lei had obtained, and one each for herself and the Destruction Dominus, the rest had been assimilated by the Death Dominus whose control over the supreme Celestial Realm reached an unbelievable extent.</p><p>It could be said that the Death Dominus had almost refined the entire supreme Celestial Realm, and the supreme Celestial Realm’s power that he could activate was insane.</p><p>The Life Dominus could never have imagined the true might of such power, but it could surely match a Supreme God.</p><p>However, she could not believe that Meng Lei could remain unharmed as if the realm’s power was nothing to him…</p><p>“Maybe he has become a Supreme God?” The Life Dominus muttered, “Even so, how can a Supreme God be unharmed under 50% power?”</p><p>Just how strong was Meng Lei, exactly?</p><p>The Life Dominus could find no answer to that.</p><p>“See? Your biggest trump card couldn’t even hurt me. Now tell me, Death Dominus, how are you going to kill me?”</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the Death Dominus with a bright smile.</p><p>“Don’t get over yourself, little fellow!” The Death Dominus’ eyes were blood-red. “Since 50% isn’t enough, I’ll use 90% power then! I’m sure that you won’t be able to withstand 90% of the realm’s power this time! Die, die, die! Go to hell!”</p><p>The supreme Celestial Realm’s power surged up again. 60%, 70%, 80%, then 90% of the realm’s power flooded onto Meng Lei. Anyone else, including a Supreme Juggernaut, would be crushed indifferently.</p><p>That was not the case for Meng Lei.</p><p>He stood there unscathed as he allowed the pressure on him while he stayed in the spot—90% was no different from 50% of the realm’s power!</p><p>“Why is this happening?”</p><p>The Death Dominus’ head was trembling. He could not believe his eyes and the scene he was witnessing or accept what was happening.</p><p>“Is that all you got, Death Dominus? If so, then I’m sorry to tell you that your wish will never come true!” Meng Lei continued as he gazed at the Death Dominus, “By the way, let me remind you that the Celestial Realm’s power might be mighty, but it was never your own power. Hence, it might be stripped away, like… this!”</p><p>With that said, Meng Lei used his will to control the supreme Celestial Realm’s power around him to press toward the Death Dominus.</p><p>“You can activate the realm’s power? Damn it! You must’ve assimilated both the Space Dominus’ and the Behemoth Chief God’s divine cores in order to do such a thing!”</p><p>The Death Dominus let out a roar, “Still, you think you can strip away my control over the supreme Celestial Realm? You think too highly of yourself!”</p><p>He started to activate the realm’s power too. Yet, that was the moment he realized that he had lost control over the supreme Celestial Realm. He simply could not use it anymore!</p><p>“How can this be? How can this be?!”</p><p>The Death Dominus bellowed furiously as he repeatedly tried to activate the realm’s power through his divine core in his mind, but to no avail.</p><p>His divine core in his mind was like a flat battery, cutting its connection from the supreme Celestial Realm despite the Death Dominus’ attempts to activate it.</p><p>“Why is this happening?”</p><p>The Death Dominus went absolutely nuts.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The violent, surging Celestial Realm’s power swept across as it landed onto the Death Dominus.</p><p>Under this horrible pressure, the Death Dominus bled from all seven facial orifices. His bones were fractured, his back was bent, and his leg was broken, putting him kneeling to the ground.</p><p>“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”</p><p>The Death Dominus roared hysterically, but he could no longer get up.</p><p>“See? Death Dominus!”</p><p>Meng Lei walked toward the Death Dominus step by step as he looked down from above at him. “Powers that aren’t yours can be taken away easily!”</p><p>“Why…”</p><p>The Death Dominus glared straight at Meng Lei.</p><p>“Mm, the exact reason… I don’t really know how to explain it either.” Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “Maybe I’m just too overpowered!”</p><p>“Too powerful? Hehehe!” The Death Dominus gave a dismal laugh. Blood was spilling out from his nose, eyes, and mouth as it was a horrific sight to behold. “Before I die, can you answer this? What level are you at exactly? A Supreme God of The Universe? Or a Primordial World Genesis God?”</p><p>“I don’t know,”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head again. “I don’t really know where I’ve progressed. Maybe I’m only slightly superior over a Supreme God. I just can’t put it into words.”</p><p>“You don’t know!?” The Death Dominus seemed unsurprised. “Go look for Disaryl. He’s an ancient freak who survived from the previous era, so he must know a lot about this.”</p><p>“Destruction Dominus?” Meng Lei turned to look in another direction. “Tsk, tsk. To be able to power up so quickly, this fellow must have some secrets up his sleeves. I’ll meet him properly later, as for you…”</p><p>Meng Lei turned back to look at the Death Dominus. “Taking your life or not isn’t important to me. Well, since you’re from this era, I can let you live. And you should know what to do, right?”</p><p>“You’re not going to kill me?”</p><p>The Death Dominus was stunned.</p><p>“Unless you want to die,” Meng Lei said dispassionately.</p><p>The Death Dominus was overjoyed as he released his divine spirit origin energy immediately, handing it over to Meng Lei respectfully. “I’m willing to submit!”</p><p>“Your divine spirit origin energy alone isn’t enough!”</p><p>Meng Lei stuck a finger onto the forehead of the Death Dominus. With a light sizzling sound, a dazzling crystal flew out.</p><p>This crystal was circular and covered with cracks all over its surface—it was the Chief God divine core.</p><p>To be more accurate, it was the Heart of The Existential Plane combined from 44 Chief God divine cores.</p><p>Meng Lei crushed the crystal in his palm to separate this crystal again into 44 Chief God divine cores. The Death Dominus spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time.</p><p>“This is yours.”</p><p>Meng Lei threw one of the divine cores to the Death Dominus before wiping off the divine spirit marks on the rest of the 43 divine cores and kept them.</p><p>Lastly, he refined the divine spirit origin energy of the Death Dominus.</p><p>“Such a large cake like the supreme Celestial Realm shouldn’t be hoarded by you alone, and it should be shared, am I right?”</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the Death Dominus.</p><p>“Yes, yes! How wise, my Master!”</p><p>The Death Dominus did not dare to have any objections.</p><p>“Good!” Meng Lei nodded slightly as he turned to the Life Dominus. “What about you?”</p><p>“I’m willing to submit as well!”</p><p>The Life Dominus did not hesitate at all to prostrate before Meng Lei and hand over her divine spirit origin energy.</p><p>“Smart move.”</p><p>Meng Lei refined the Life Dominus’ divine spirit origin energy before telling them, “Go now, bring me the treasuries of the 44 Chief Gods of the supreme Celestial Realm, and their godly clan treasuries as well. Of course, don’t forget your own treasuries too.”</p><p>“Yes, Master!”</p><p>The Life Dominus and the Death Dominus answered respectfully before teleporting away. One minute later, they returned with the spatial rings.</p><p>“Pretty fast, I see!”</p><p>Meng Lei remarked as he received the rings.</p><p>He kept whatever he needed and threw away whatever was unnecessary.</p><p>As expected from the 48 godly clans of the Celestial Realm, their wealth was beyond his imagination.</p><p>After collection, his wealth increased by 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals to an unprecedented 1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals!</p><p>It was truly unprecedented.</p><p>With such massive wealth, he had to spend them.</p><p>“System, how many Supreme Divinity Crystals would it cost to enhance my divine spirit?”</p><p>“Ding! The host’s divine spirit is currently comparable to a Supreme Juggernaut’s and will rival that of a Supreme God of The Universe after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”</p><p>“500? Forget it!”</p><p>Meng Lei rejected it. Despite possessing a massive wealth of 1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals, it came from plundering 148 godly clans to save up that many. To earn more would mean to scourge the Netherworld, Demon Realm, Hell, and the Abyss.</p><p>Or else, it would be difficult to obtain more from plundering.</p><p>Even if he ransacked the entire Netherworld and others, how much could he earn?</p><p>1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals?</p><p>2,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals?</p><p>It would not be much, to say the least.</p><p><em>Oh well, I’ll save up first then!</em></p><p>“Let’s go and meet the Destruction Dominus.”</p>

Chapter 424 - Destiny Laws Of Nature, Lord Of The Universe

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 424 - Destiny Laws Of Nature, Lord Of The Universe</h1><p>The Destruction Dominus sat cross-legged within an underground space of unknown depth and hovered in the middle while he quickly comprehended the destiny laws of nature. His aura was almost unchanged, but the divine spirit force he emanated was becoming stronger and more terrifying.</p><p>At the same time, his body exuded strings of elusive, erratic, and illusory aura, filling up the entire space. The gray skeleton stood in the coffin while its grayish will-o’-the-wisp blinked about, its thoughts unknown.</p><p>“Soon! You’re almost there!</p><p>“Once you’ve assimilated this bit of destiny laws of nature, you will ascend into a Supreme God. By then, you’ll be able to wipe off any unstable elements to buy time for us.</p><p>“This era is our only shot. We cannot fail no matter what…”</p><p>After an unknown amount of time, the Destruction Dominus opened his eyes suddenly. They were bottomless with glimmers of mysterious laws of nature.</p><p>“Have you succeeded?” asked the gray skeleton.</p><p>“I did it!” The Destruction Dominus nodded. “I’ve completely assimilated this bit of destiny laws of nature to step into an entirely different domain. I believe in due time, I’ll master it to become the Supreme God of Destiny!”</p><p>“Great! Destiny, order, and space-time laws of nature are the great genesis laws of nature that stood above the five supreme laws of nature. There’s nothing more superior than these laws of nature!”</p><p>The gray skeleton was delighted. “If we can obtain a cosmic embryo, you can create a complete universe. Then you can assimilate the universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe, like that legendary Primordial World Genesis God!</p><p>“Of course, there’s a universe here already. There’s no need to seek further to create another one when we can just eliminate any unstable factors here. Once this era ends and the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process arrives, assimilating this universe’s origin energy will do!”</p><p>Assimilate the universe’s origin energy!</p><p>Become the Lord of The Universe!</p><p>Match the legendary Primordial World Genesis God!</p><p>The Destruction Dominus’ eyes were scorching, while his voice contained endless murderous intent. “Meng Lei must die! And the Death Dominus, Life Dominus, Supreme God of The Underworld, and Grim Reaper King. They must all die!”</p><p>“Indeed, they must be taken down!” The gray skeleton continued. “Remember, this era is our only opportunity. If we miss this one, we’ll never make a comeback.”</p><p>“I understand!” The Destruction Dominus nodded slightly. “Carry on with your deep sleep. It’s time to finish off Meng Lei.”</p><p>“Go on then!”</p><p>The gray skeleton yawned and returned inside the coffin. The hovering coffin lid fell gently as it closed the coffin once again.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus swept a glance at the coffin before leaving the space in a flash. After more than an hour of traveling upward, he returned to the ground surface.</p><p>“Here I come, Meng Lei!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus began to check the destiny lines to trace down Meng Lei.</p><p>Every person had their destiny, or rather, every form of life, and the existential planes had their own destinies. Destiny was like a line that kept on extending forward. Unless the lifeform died or the existential plane was destroyed, the destiny line would never stop extending.</p><p>Nevertheless, if the lifeform’s destiny line was cut off, it meant the end of its destiny, and death would follow.</p><p>Despite comprehending only parts of the destiny laws of nature, the Destruction Dominus could see the destiny lines of all lifeforms. As his gaze swept across the destiny world, densely packed destiny lines hovered around.</p><p>Some were like a sun glow that was extremely red till it was similar to purple, meaning that fortune would shine on this lifeform with ample opportunities.</p><p>Some were as precarious as a pile of eggs as if a gust of wind could break it, meaning that this lifeform was ill-fated with a lifetime of bad luck. In short, it would be a life of misery.</p><p>Of course, the destiny lines were not independent as most were intertwining with each other, meaning that these lifeforms were connected.</p><p>Although there were countless destiny lines, finding Meng Lei’s destiny line was not too difficult. Since Meng Lei was so powerful, his destiny line should be incredibly thick. Thus finding the thickest line would be the simplest option.</p><p>With that in mind, the Destruction Dominus found some of the thickest destiny lines he could. However, he discovered that none was Meng Lei’s destiny line after checking. The Destruction Dominus was flabbergasted. How was it possible that he could not find Meng Lei’s destiny line?</p><p>He continued searching.</p><p>After half a day had gone, nothing turned up.</p><p>However, the Destruction Dominus saw a wall. It was incredibly tall and majestic, spanning across the destiny world to occupy half of the space, making it hard to ignore.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus had seen the wall when he entered the destiny world, but he did not think much of it or even treat it as a destiny line. The wall was too huge and thick—how could it be a destiny line?</p><p>The search continued as the Destruction Dominus checked through every line, finding the destiny lines of the Death Dominus, Life Dominus, Supreme God of The Underworld, and Grim Reaper King. Yet, Meng Lei’s destiny line was still nowhere to be found.</p><p>“Does this fellow not have a destiny?” The Destruction Dominus was going mad when he noticed that the great wall was moving toward him. The Destruction Dominus was startled. “This wall can move too? What’s going on?”</p><p>Just as the Destruction Dominus was dazed, the wall finally reached him and intertwined with his destiny line. While hovering before the wall, the Destruction Dominus realized that his destiny line was like a firefly in front of the sun.</p><p>There was no comparability between the two at all!</p><p>The intertwining of destiny lines meant the crossing of paths between two lifeforms. A jolt went through the Destruction Dominus as he seemed to think up something. “P-perhaps—”</p><p>“Destruction Dominus, what are you standing around here for? Are you waiting here knowing that I’m coming?” A mocking voice rang.</p><p><em>This voice!!</em></p><p>The Destruction Dominus left the destiny world immediately while returning to reality.</p><p>“Y-you… You…”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus pointed at Meng Lei with an extremely complicated expression. It was like a mix of terror and shock that affected his articulation.</p><p>“What’s the matter?”</p><p>Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.</p><p>“Meng Lei!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus calmed down as he glared at Meng Lei with an intent to kill that had never been so intense. “Today, you’ll die! You must die!”</p><p>“Kill me? Just you?” Meng Lei shook his head with a smile as he mocked, “It’s not that I’m underestimating you, but you’re certainly just inferior to me.”</p><p>“Die!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus bellowed as a punch shot out. Mysterious laws of nature aura burst off the fist while the punch blasted onto Meng Lei heavily.</p><p>Amazingly, the punch neither caused any spatial fluctuations nor expressed any form of might. Meng Lei did not dodge it either, as if the punch did not exist.</p><p>However, Meng Lei felt the brunt of the strike. Although it was not lethal, he could sense that he was weakened slightly. He could not explain how he was weakened, but it was the fact.</p><p>“What kind of attack is this?”</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the Destruction Dominus with eyes full of disbelief. Ever since he had manifested his Primordial World Body, no one could harm him at all.</p><p>Yet, the Destruction Dominus did just that with a mysterious power.</p><p>How could Meng Lei possibly not be startled?</p><p>“You bastard!”</p><p>Disbelief was also written on the Destruction Dominus’ face. He realized that his attack that was imbued with the power of destiny could not even move his destiny. Accurately speaking, it did shake a little, meaning that the wall representing Meng Lei’s destiny did shake a little.</p><p>Other than that, there was nothing else.</p><p>“Darn it! How can your destiny be so powerful to such an extent?”</p><p>Despite controlling a bit of the power of destiny, it was only a little bit after all. Meng Lei’s destiny was like a wall that was impossible to kill. Even if he had the perseverance of the Foolish Old Man who removed the mountains ¹ , he still could not move such a great wall.</p><p>“Destiny? Is this the power of destiny?” Meng Lei’s eyes lit up while he asked intensely, “You’ve controlled the destiny laws of nature?”</p><p>“So what if it’s true?”</p><p>If Meng Lei asked him before that punch, the Destruction Dominus would have been proud of himself. The destiny laws of nature was one of the genesis laws of nature that were superior to supreme laws of nature. Controlling part of it meant that he had stepped into the level of Supreme Gods.</p><p>How impressive was that?</p><p>However, the Destruction Dominus could not lift his spirits anymore now…</p><p>“Destiny laws of nature! You’ve actually comprehended it!”</p><p>The Life Dominus was shocked as she looked at the Destruction Dominus in disbelief. The Death Dominus was not surprised as he said gravely, “Disaryl is an ancient fossil that survived the previous era. I think it’s only normal for him to comprehend the destiny laws of nature.”</p><p>“The previous era?” The Life Dominus was taken aback.</p><p>“The destiny laws of nature! Haha! Thanks, Destruction Dominus!”</p><p>Meng Lei laughed out loud with undisguised delight and excitement in his laughter. “Moro, you’ve told me that there would be a surprise for me the next time I meet the three Juggernauts. Is this the one?”</p><p>“You’ve guessed it right!” Moro smiled and said. “When you were fighting the three Juggernauts, I sensed a familiar aura from the Destruction Dominus. After close observations, I realized that I knew this fellow from the previous era!”</p><p>“You mean he’s an ancient freak like you from the previous era?” Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.</p><p>“No! It’s different.” Moro shook his head. “He appeared suddenly toward the end of the previous era. Plus, he was already at the level of a Great Perfection Supreme God. If it weren’t for my friend and me, this fellow’s scheme would have succeeded!”</p><p>“Scheme? What kind of scheme?”</p><p>A look of puzzlement came over Meng Lei’s features.</p><p>“The plot to assimilate the universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe!”</p><p>Moro said slowly, “The Lord of The Universe, as its name suggests, is the master of a universe. Legend has it that once you’ve become that, you’ll match the legendary Primordial World Genesis God and truly transcend the universe. You will also be unaffected by the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process!</p><p>“Plus, you can even control the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process!”</p>

Chapter 425 - The Gray Skeleton: He Has To Die

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 425 - The Gray Skeleton: He Has To Die</h1><p>“Refine the universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe, comparable to the Primordial World Genesis Gods!”</p><p>Meng Lei continuously mumbled this sentence, his eyes flashing brightly.</p><p>“When an era comes to an end, and when the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process happens, laws of nature retreat and the origin of the universe appears. This is the best time to assimilate the universe’s origin energy!”</p><p>Moro continued. “And it is because of this that many ambitious players would emerge, fight for the universe’s origin energy, and attempt to become the Lord of The Universe. Destruction Dominus is one of them. I fought with him years ago, so I will not forget his scent until the day I die!”</p><p>“Which means the Destruction Dominus is an ancient fellow from the era before the last?”</p><p>Meng Lei looked at the Destruction Dominus, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.</p><p><em>The longer one lives, the more one knows…</em></p><p>“Not bad!”</p><p>Moro reminded him, “Be careful. When the last era suddenly emerged, this guy showed strength comparable to Supreme Gods. Don’t let your guard down at all, in case it costs you unexpectedly.”</p><p>“Don’t worry, I know!”</p><p>Meng Lei licked his tongue and looked at the Destruction Dominus greedily. “I didn’t expect you were actually an ancient monster from the era before the last. And even lesser did I expect, that you actually sent over the destiny laws of nature. Destruction Dominus, I really have to thank you!”</p><p>Upon hearing the first sentence, the Destruction Dominus’ facial complexion changed slightly. “How did you know? Can you also be an ancient monster who survived from two eras ago? No! It can’t be, your scent is too strange. I have never seen you. Who are you after all?”</p><p>“It’s unimportant who I am!” Meng Lei smiled slightly. “What’s important is that I have to thank you!”</p><p>“Thank me?”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus was a bit stunned.</p><p>“Yes! Thank you for bringing the destiny laws of nature!”</p><p>Meng Lei smiled mildly and made the order to plunder immediately. “System, get out to work. Plunder the Destruction Dominus’ destiny laws of nature immediately!”</p><p>“Ding! Plunder target: Destruction Dominus. Target substance: Destiny Laws of Nature. Estimated plunder price: 50 Supreme Divinity Crystal!” The cold voice of the system sounded. “Would you like to plunder?”</p><p>“50 Supreme Divinity Crystals? It’s not expensive!” Meng Lei’s mouth curved upward. “Why do you ask? Plunder!”</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>At that moment, the Destruction Dominus suddenly felt a mysterious force envelop him. He was in a daze, and then a melancholic, grievous feeling invaded his mind. The Destruction Dominus felt like he lost something, but he couldn’t say what exactly it was!</p><p>In the meantime, Meng Lei felt an extremely rich and powerful rush of information suddenly entering his mind and blending into the divine spirit flame. Meng Lei hurriedly restrained his thoughts and started rapid comprehension.</p><p>Destiny!</p><p>Every life has its destiny!</p><p>Destiny…</p><p>Information about the destiny laws of nature flashed across his mind like a movie. Meng Lei rapidly absorbed, read, and comprehended…</p><p>After an unknown period, maybe just an instant, a long while, Meng Lei finally mastered all of the destiny laws of nature.</p><p>Looking at the stats interface again, he saw that “Destiny Laws of Nature” was indeed added to the Laws of Nature comprehension column.</p><p>Laws of Nature: Time (100%), Destruction (100%), Life (100%), Spatial (100%), Death (100%), Destiny (0.1%)</p><p>“System, how many Supreme Divinity Crystals does it cost to improve destiny laws of nature?” Meng Lei asked the system.</p><p>The system answered without any hesitation, “Ding! 1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals are required to improve Destiny Laws of Nature by 1%!”</p><p>“1… 1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals?”</p><p>Meng Lei drew a cold breath. “1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals are required to improve a mere 1%, wouldn’t it require 100,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals to completely master destiny laws of nature!?”</p><p>Meng Lei felt a tingling on his scalp. After plundering the 10 Divine Realms and the 148 Divine Races of the Supreme Celestial Realm, he had only barely accumulated 1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>And now!</p><p>The extremely costly destiny laws of nature actually required 100,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals. This is so f*cking ridiculous! Where was he to find so many Destiny Laws of Nature!?</p><p>“I’m sad!”</p><p>Meng Lei rubbed his temples and feeling troubled. “In this case, I can only go and make trouble at the demons’ camp!”</p><p>Speaking of which, Meng Lei looked at the Destruction Dominus again and said mildly, “In order to thank you for bringing me the destiny laws of nature, I have decided to leave you with a full corpse!”</p><p>As he spoke, Meng Lei reached out to directly grab at the Destruction Dominus.</p><p>“You wanna kill me? You can’t kill me!” The Destruction Dominus roared and immediately teleported himself out by manipulating Celestial Realm forces.</p><p>Upon seeing this, Meng Lei couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. “I just comprehended the destiny laws of nature. I will use you to try it out then,” he murmured.</p><p>Then, Meng Lei’s divine spirit plunged into the Void of Destiny, found the Destruction Dominus’ line of destiny, and then cut it gently. The Destruction Dominus’ line of destiny was instantly broken by a long length, with only a small strand barely attached.</p><p>At that moment, the Destruction Dominus, who teleported to the distance, suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness in his body. It was as if his divine body was emptied. His entire person was extremely weak, and he almost fell to the ground.</p><p>“What’s going on?”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus was shocked and scared. He hurried to examine himself, and to his astonishment, he realized that neither his divine body nor his divine spirit had been weakened. Yet, he just felt an unprecedented weakness, as though he had returned to his weakest period.</p><p>“Destiny laws of nature! This is the power of destiny!” the Destruction Dominus said with a hoarse voice. “Sh*t! Destiny laws of nature attacked me!”</p><p>His divine spirit hurriedly went into the Void of Destiny, meaning to check on his own line of destiny, only to find that he actually couldn’t enter the Void of Destiny.</p><p>“What’s going on? Why can’t I enter the Void of Destiny!?”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus was astonished, and then he tried madly. In the end, he discovered something even more tragic—his understanding of destiny laws of nature was… gone!</p><p>In other words, it was replaced with a blankness!</p><p>“How did that happen? Where is the destiny laws of nature I comprehended!?”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus felt like he was struck by lightning.</p><p>Meng Lei appeared quietly with the Life Dominus and Death Dominus.</p><p>The Destruction Dominus stared at Meng Lei. “What did you do to me!?”</p><p>“Nothing much, I just deprived you of your comprehension of destiny laws of nature,” Meng Lei said lightly, as though he was speaking of something totally insignificant.</p><p>Yet, in the ears of the Destruction Dominus, Life Dominus, and Death Dominus, the impact was no less than a bolt of thunder. Under shock, the three Dominuses’ bodies quivered violently, and their facial complexions changed significantly.</p><p>“Deprived him of destiny laws of nature!?”</p><p>“Master actually has such ability?”</p><p>The Life Dominus and Death Dominus gave each other a look and saw shock and amazement in each other’s eyes.</p><p>“Y-you deprived my comprehension of the destiny laws of nature?” The Destruction Dominus was a bit hysterical. “No! It’s impossible! It’s impossible!”</p><p>“There’s no point saying more. Go to hell!”</p><p>Meng Lei made a casual grab, directly grabbing the Destruction Dominus in his hand. His divine spirit force rushed out wildly and submerged the Destruction Dominus’ divine spirit right away. It started a mad spirit search.</p><p>“Argghhhh!”</p><p>The Destruction Dominus roared hoarsely, struggled, and resisted madly, yet everything was in vain. He was weak and couldn’t fight against Meng Lei at all.</p><p>Eventually, Meng Lei finished reading the Destruction Dominus’ memory and learned all his secrets. Meng Lei’s eyes flashed right away, and he disappeared right where he was. When he reappeared, he was already in that mysterious underground space. That coffin quietly floated in mid-air.</p><p>Yet the coffin cover was open, and the one inside was actually gone. The gray skeleton… was gone!</p><p>“Sh*t! I actually let him run away!” Meng Lei cursed quietly. He knew who the gray skeleton was; that was the other Destruction Dominus.</p><p>In other words, he was the other body of the Destruction Dominus. They were the same person, to begin with.</p><p>Meng Lei also knew that the gray skeleton was indeed an old monster from the era before the last.</p><p>Because of this, after the start of the new era, he had been suppressed by the Order Laws of Nature. He couldn’t cultivate, absorb energy, or improve…</p><p>One could say that the new era was very hostile to lifeforms from the old era. In order to deal with such a situation, the gray skeleton had separated out a pure divine spirit origin, which didn’t contain his memory, consciousness, thinking, and divinity, and then dropped it into the new era.</p><p>This was pretty much trafficking, but he had succeeded in cheating the Order Laws of Nature. This divine spirit had eventually grown to become the Destruction Dominus. The gray skeleton had planned very well. He had been hiding there, studying the Order Laws of nature, while the Destruction Dominus was outside removing obstructions.</p><p>The two had been working together and planning to refine the universe’s origin energy once again when this era came to an end, and the Order Laws of Nature retreated; They would then seize the controlling power of the universe!</p><p>And it was because of that, when the Destruction Dominus had discovered Meng Lei, a factor of instability, the Destruction Dominus tried to erase Meng Lei at all cost.</p><p>All was well with his planning, but with all that planning, he hadn’t expected that Meng Lei was actually this strong. Even though the Destruction Dominus had a bit of comprehension of the destiny laws of nature, he had still been badly defeated by Meng Lei.</p><p>What was more tragic was that Meng Lei had even robbed him of the destiny laws of nature!</p><p>“Wait for it! You won’t escape from me!”</p><p>Meng Lei snorted, left the space, and returned to the external world.</p><p>“Master!”</p><p>The Life Dominus and Death Dominus approached him.</p><p>“Let’s go! Off to the supreme Netherworld!”</p><p>Meng Lei gave an order right away.</p><p>“Yes, Master!”</p><p>Despite the thousands of questions the two had, they didn’t dare question and obediently agreed.</p><p>“Don’t resist, follow me!”</p><p>Meng Lei let out divine cognition to wrap the Life Dominus and Death Dominus and disappeared from the Supreme Celestial Realm. When they reappeared, they were already in the vast Void.</p><p>…</p><p>At the depth of the distant universe, in a far and unknown corner, a crack quietly appeared. A gray skeleton emerged from within. It was just the gray skeleton.</p><p>“This deserves death! Death!”</p><p>A ghostly gray fire flickered wildly inside the skull, showing how angry he was right now.</p><p>“Bast*rd! Wait for it, I won’t let you go!</p><p>“It’s mine!</p><p>“This era is mine!</p><p>“The universe’s origin energy is mine!</p><p>“The entire universe is also mine!</p><p>“Any existence that hinders me has to die!”</p><p>His cold roar filled up the surroundings. The gray skeleton gradually calmed down. “I didn’t expect this era to actually birth such an existence. He not only has the terrible ability to rob laws of nature, but his line of destiny is actually this strong too. This is troublesome!</p><p>“I have to find a way to kill him!</p><p>“If he doesn’t die, I have no chance!</p><p>“He has to die!”</p>

Chapter 426 - Supreme God Of The Underworld, Grim Reaper King

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 426 - Supreme God Of The Underworld, Grim Reaper King</h1><p>The vast universe contained two supreme existential planes—the supreme Celestial Realm and the supreme Netherworld.</p><p>The former was owned by the deities, the latter by the demons.</p><p>In nature, the supreme Netherworld wasn’t different from the supreme Celestial Realm. They had the same laws of nature, space structure, energy constitution… The difference was only that the lifeforms that occupied them were different.</p><p>The supreme Netherworld was as vast and boundless as the Celestial Realm. Inside it lived countless dark creatures, such as the Dead Souls, the Necromancers, the Specters, the Undying, the Abyss Demons, the Fallen Demons, the Skeletons, the Purgatory Kings…</p><p>These dark creatures were extremely powerful. They didn’t cultivate a divine body nor the laws of nature. They grew simply by devouring their own kind. As a result, there weren’t many who could really grow to the pinnacle.</p><p>Up till now, only two Juggernaut-level existences had been born among the dark creatures—the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King. They had divided up almost half of the realm of the supreme Netherworld, with the other half left to be ruled by the numerous Demon Grandmasters.</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld lived in the Netherworld Shrine, and the Netherworld Shrine was the source of the Five Great Rivers of the supreme Netherworld. One was sure to reach the Netherworld Shrine by going upstream following the Five Great Rivers.</p><p>On this day, Meng Lei’s party came to the Netherworld Shrine. Under Meng Lei’s lead, the three spent only one hour to cross through countless light-years, reached the supreme Netherworld, and then the Netherworld Shrine.</p><p>The Netherworld Shrine was on top of a mountain. This was a black snow-covered mountain. The snow melted to form five rivers flowing in five directions.</p><p>These were the Five Great Rivers of the supreme Netherworld—the River of Pain, the River of Sighs, the River of Water Scorpions, the River of Forgetfulness, and the River of Hatred.</p><p>Meng Lei looked around the Netherworld Shrine, laughed, and said, “I heard the Netherworld Shrine allows entries but no exits. It is the most mysterious forbidden ground of the entire universe. Have you two come to the Netherworld Shrine before?”</p><p>“No, Master!”</p><p>The Life Dominus shook her head slowly.</p><p>“I have come many times!” said the Death Dominus.</p><p>“Many times?” Meng Lei was shocked. “You dare to come to the Netherworld Shrine? Weren’t you afraid of getting killed by the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King?”</p><p>“You may not be aware, Master, but the Supreme God of The Underworld is my younger brother!” explained the Death Dominus.</p><p>“Your younger brother?” Meng Lei was slightly stunned. “The Supreme God of The Underworld is actually your brother?”</p><p>“Yes, Master!” The Death Dominus said slowly, “Hadis and I are brothers by blood. It was only that he obtained the qualification of Chief God at the supreme Netherworld, while I obtained the qualification of Chief God at the supreme Celestial Realm. From then on, he became a Chief God at the Netherworld, and I at the Celestial Realm!”</p><p>“I see.” Meng Lei nodded. “Call him!”</p><p>“Yes, Master!”</p><p>The Death Dominus nodded slightly and then looked at the Netherworld Shrine on top of the snow-covered mountain. “Hadis, your master is here. Hurry over to greet him!”</p><p>A soft “Eh?” came from the inside of the Netherworld Shrine. A tall and strong body dressed in a black robe abruptly appeared in mid-air. He looked at the Death Dominus, frowned, and said, “Hadas, it’s all fine that you are here, but what are you bringing random people here for?”</p><p>His gaze fell upon Meng Lei and the Life Dominus. He directly ignored Meng Lei and looked toward the Life Dominus. His irises shark slightly. “Life Dominus? You actually dare to come here!”</p><p>“Hadis, watch yourself!” The Death Dominus scolded. “Are you not greeting Master yet?”</p><p>“Master?” The Supreme God of The Underworld frowned immediately. “Hadas, what’s up with you after all?”</p><p>“Let me tell you about it.” Master stepped forward. “I had a battle with your elder brother, and he lost. Thus, I became his Master, understood?”</p><p>“How dare you enslave Hadas!?”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld was furious. The rolling powers of the Underworld condensed into a giant palm covering the sky and slammed toward Meng Lei like a huge mountain.</p><p>“Hadis, don’t be presumptuous!”</p><p>Upon seeing this, cold sweat emerged on the Death Dominus’ forehead. He hurried to speak to stop him. Meng Lei waved a hand to signal to him to stay calm. And then, he punched a fist right at it.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The fist and the palm collided. Following a huge roar, the sky-covering giant palm was smashed and shattered. The Supreme God of The Underworld staggered back a few steps. Meng Lei stepped right up, approaching him in a ghostly manner, and pressed one finger against the center of his eyebrows.</p><p>“I only need to press down this finger, and you will surely die. Do you believe it?” said Meng Lei lightly.</p><p>“Who exactly are you?”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld stared at Meng Lei, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He had only noticed the Life Dominus but not Meng Lei at the start because Meng Lei looked too ordinary, as ordinary as a normal human. But he really didn’t expect that ordinary-looking Meng Lei actually possessed such horrible battle prowess.</p><p>The power to break the Netherworld with one punch was simply terrible!</p><p>“You don’t need to know who I am. You only need to know that I have the strength to kill you any time, and that’s enough,” said Meng Lei lightly.</p><p>“You—”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld’s tone sounded choked for a moment, and he said with a low voice, “What do you want?”</p><p>“Submit to me, be my servant,” Meng Lei said dispassionately.</p><p>“No way!”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld looked like a cat whose tail got stepped on. He yelled with a stern voice, “I am the Supreme God of The Underworld. It’s impossible that I will submit to anyone!”</p><p>“Not going to submit? Then prepare to die!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s gaze chilled.</p><p>“Hadis, surrender to Master!” The Death Dominus hurriedly spoke. “Master has terrible strength, surpassing Supreme Gods. It’s totally impossible for you to defeat him!”</p><p>“Hadas, you have fallen!”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld looked toward the Death Dominus. “You, a proper Death Dominus, actually willingly submitted to him. It’s my shame to have an elder brother such as you!”</p><p>“Hadis, you are just as stupid as ever!” The Death Dominus’ facial expression looked ugly. “Do you know how strong Master is? Let me tell you! Previously I merged the 43 Chief God divine cores of the supreme Celestial Realm and almost controlled the entire supreme Celestial Realm, but I still wasn’t able to beat Master. You think you can beat him? What a joke!”</p><p>“What are you talking about?” The facial expression of the Supreme God of The Underworld changed drastically. He said with disbelief, “Is this for real?”</p><p>“Hadis, you are my own brother, I can’t possibly lie to you!” The Death Dominus sighed and said slowly, “It’s a disgrace to submit to other people, but it’s a fortune to submit to Master! Hadis, don’t make useless struggles. There is no point at all!”</p><p>“Hadas, are you speaking the truth?” The Supreme God of The Underworld said through a telepathic message via his divine spirit. “Don’t lie to me!”</p><p>“Why should I lie to you?”</p><p>The Death Dominus similarly said through a telepathic message via his divine spirit. “You also know that I am a proud person, but after the battle previously, I wholeheartedly submitted to Master…”</p><p>After a series of communication, the Supreme God of The Underworld looked at Meng Lei differently. After mobilizing 90% of the powers of the Celestial Realm, he still couldn’t beat Meng Lei!</p><p>Just how strong was Meng Lei, exactly?</p><p>“Submit, Hadis,” Meng Lei said dispassionately.</p><p>“I submit!”</p><p>Hadis finally bowed his noble head. He was proud indeed but not so proud as to give up life for death. What was pride in comparison to life?</p><p>After that, Hadis gave up his divine spirit origin energy, and Meng Lei casually refined it.</p><p>“I will give you a task,” said Meng Lei lightly. “Collect all the gold, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, and Demonic Crystals of the Supreme Netherworld!”</p><p>Dark creatures called Divinity Crystals, Demonic Crystals, and they were the same kind of things by nature.</p><p>“Yes, Master!”</p><p>Although the Supreme God of The Underworld felt confused by such an order, he dared not disobey and still took his orders and left. Meng Lei looked in one direction, his lips curving upward.</p><p>“Lord Grim Reaper King, since you are here, why don’t you show yourself? It’s not fitting for your position to hide!”</p><p>“Cough, cough!”</p>

Chapter 427 - Ol' Amos Awakened, Blissful Old Man

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 427 - Ol' Amos Awakened, Blissful Old Man</h1><p>“Cough, cough!”</p><p>Coarse sounds of coughing rang as the air shook slightly. A black figure covered in a dark cloak appeared before everyone. It was the other supreme Juggernaut of the Netherworld—the Grim Reaper King.</p><p>A cloud of black mist shrouded the Grim Reaper King’s face, and no one could have a clear view of his face, but that terrifying might it gave off was the real deal.</p><p>“Grim Reaper King, your voice is pretty thunderous.”</p><p>Meng Lei sized up the Grim Reaper King as an indistinct look flashed across his eyes. He had assimilated the Grim Reaper bloodline before, and he could be considered a Grim Reaper as well. Hence, his gaze at the appearance of the Grim Reaper King was inevitably complex.</p><p>The black mist shrouding the Grim Reaper King’s face rippled as a loud and clear voice rang.</p><p>“Sir, who are you exactly? Since when did an expert like you appear in this universe? Why haven’t I heard of you before?”</p><p>“I was only a nameless nobody a few months ago. Of course you wouldn’t have heard of me.” Meng Lei waved it off. “By the way, may I ask what’s your business over here, Grim Reaper King?”</p><p>“I got curious when I sensed the intense reverberation of the Power of The Netherworld, and it was broken up by someone violently. Therefore I arrived here to see for myself.” The Grim Reaper King looked at Meng Lei. “I didn’t expect to witness such an incredible scene. I wonder if I should be happy or sad?”</p><p>“You should be happy about it, of course.” Meng Lei chuckled. “It’s my great honor to meet the famed Grim Reaper King.”</p><p>The Grim Reaper King could not hide his smile. “I wonder what business you have in the Netherworld, sir.”</p><p>“It’s very simple. I’m collecting wealth.” Meng Lei smiled faintly. “I’m a man who worships money like it’s my life. I’m here today in the Netherworld to collect all kinds of gold, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, and Demonic Crystals. Would you like to assist me?”</p><p>“Since you have such a need, I’ll do my best to help!” The Grim Reaper King nodded slightly. “May I proceed, sir?”</p><p>“You have my gratitude, Grim Reaper King.”</p><p>Meng Lei thanked him with a smile.</p><p>“Please wait for a moment. I’ll be back soon!” The Grim Reaper King disappeared on the spot as if he was afraid that staying a second longer would cost his life.</p><p>“You’re letting him leave just like that, Master?”</p><p>The Death Dominus was rather confused. In order to get them to serve him, Meng Lei had refined their divine spirit origin energy and enslaved them. On the other hand, the Grim Reaper King was much better off as Meng Lei only requested his help—the difference was too huge.</p><p>“Haha, I just feel like it.”</p><p>Meng Lei waved it off with an indifferent expression. What was so important about being enslaved or not?</p><p>“…”</p><p>The Death Dominus and Life Dominus looked at each other, speechless. That was discrimination…</p><p>“It’s time to visit the palace of the Supreme God of The Underworld.”</p><p>Meng Lei flew toward the shrine on top of the mountain. Upon entering the shrine, he sat on the throne of the Supreme God of The Underworld. The Life Dominus and Death Dominus stood on the two sides of Meng Lei like two guards.</p><p>Waiting was a source of boredom, so Meng Lei prepared to check on the destiny laws of nature he had obtained previously. However, an exclamation came from the Tower of Time to break the atmosphere.</p><p>“Hahaha, I’ve attained Great Perfection now!</p><p>“I’ve finally become a Great Perfection deity!</p><p>“Never in my lifetime have I ever thought that—</p><p>“Eh?”</p><p>Meng Lei appeared in the Tower of Time to see his Ol’ President red in the face as he burst into a peal of loud laughter while his clear voice spread around.</p><p>“Have you succeeded with the assimilation, Ol’ Amos?”</p><p>Meng Lei went over to greet with a smile.</p><p>“I’ve succeeded! I’ve finally succeeded!”</p><p>Ol’ Amos looked at Meng Lei with a face of gratitude. “Meng Lei, I cannot thank you enough! If it weren’t for you, I would never have gotten the chance to become a Great Perfection deity in my lifetime!”</p><p>“Ol’ Amos, you’re speaking like I’m an outsider.” Meng Lei smiled. “If it weren’t for your guidance in the past, how could I have accomplished what I have achieved today?”</p><p>“Oh, you’re too humble,”</p><p>Ol’ Amos smiled and shook his head. “Given your freaky talent, you’d rise up sooner or later, even without me. Oh yes, where are Puhaman and the rest?”</p><p>“Well… They’re all assimilating their Chief God divine cores,” Meng Lei said with great pleasure.</p><p>(⊙_⊙)???</p><p>Ol’ Amos was dumbfounded for a moment. “What? Wait what?”</p><p>“I’m saying that they’re all assimilating Chief God divine cores to become Chief Gods once they succeed,” Meng Lei repeated himself.</p><p>“Assimilating Chief God divine cores? Become Chief Gods?” Ol’ Amos jumped into the air when he heard that. “What the heck!? Where did their Chief God divine core come from? Or perhaps you’re powerful enough to hunt down Chief Gods!?”</p><p>Where did those Chief God divine cores come from?</p><p>Ol’ Amos could only think of Meng Lei as the answer.</p><p>“Yes!” Meng Lei smiled. “While you were away with the assimilation of your Great Perfection divine core, I accidentally broke through again and killed some Chief Gods along the way to obtain some of their divine cores.”</p><p>If anyone else told him that, Ol’ Amos would have scoffed at the idea of ‘accidentally broken through’. Killing Chief Gods at will? It would have been ridiculed.</p><p>However, if Meng Lei said that, it was completely normal to Ol’ Amos. He knew Meng Lei long enough to the extent that even if Meng Lei told him that he had become a Primordial World Genesis God, he would believe every word without any doubts.</p><p>“Where is mine? Where’s my Chief God divine core?”</p><p>Ol’ Amos jumped and grabbed onto Meng Lei’s shoulders. His eyes were bloodshot as they stared at Meng Lei fervently, overcome by excitement, greed, and desire. “I’ve known you well enough. You must have one for me, right?”</p><p>Meng Lei thought of joking with Ol’ Amos that there were no more Chief God divine cores. However, he did not dare to as he did not want the old man to snap his neck due to utter disappointment.</p><p>Meng Lei was rather amused and waved his arm to release over 100 Chief God divine cores. He sorted them into 11 stacks according to the supreme Celestial Realm and the ten major Divine Realms. “Here are more than 100 Chief God divine cores. 46 from the supreme Celestial Realm and over 80 from the ten major Divine Realms. Which one would you like to assimilate?”</p><p>“S-so many Chief God divine cores?”</p><p>Ol’ Amos was shocked as he gasped and began stuttering. “1… 100 Chief God divine cores? You… you’ve killed every Chief Gods of the supreme Celestial Realm and the ten Divine Realms?”</p><p>Ol’ Amos knew that there were 144 Chief Gods in the universe. Other than those that Puhaman and the rest had refined, there were around 120 left. Yet, the 120 divine cores were all here.</p><p>It meant that… Meng Lei might have killed them all!</p><p>“Well, I guess.” Meng Lei nodded. “Other than 144 Chief Gods, there’s two Juggernauts too.”</p><p>“T-two Juggernauts?”</p><p>Ol’ Amos froze instantly as if he was looking at a monster.</p><p><em>No! I shouldn’t be this shocked and overwhelmed. Just stay calm since anything that happens to him is normal!</em></p><p>Ol’ Amos tried desperately to restrain himself, telling himself to keep calm. Still, he could not help but ask, “Meng Lei, you… You’re so powerful to such an extent?”</p><p>“Well, I guess.”</p><p>“Oh god!”</p><p>After quite a while, Ol’ Amos finally calmed down slightly as he scanned the hundred-over Chief God divine cores available. He was dazzled by the choices while he could not take his eyes off them.</p><p>“Meng Lei, which one of these should I assimilate?” Ol’ Amos rubbed his hands excitedly.</p><p>“You got to choose from the supreme Celestial Realm.” He answered promptly. “The Celestial Realm’s size is ten thousand times the size of the ten Divine Realms, so the Chief Gods there are relatively stronger than those from the ten major Divine Realms.”</p><p>“Okay, supreme Celestial Realm it is!”</p><p>Ol’ Amos repeatedly nodded as he took one divine core from the pile belonging to the supreme Celestial Realm. He was about to find a place to refine it when Meng Lei stopped him. “Ol’ Amos, take these 22 divine cores to refine too.”</p><p>(⊙_⊙)?</p><p>Ol’ Amos was stunned once more.</p><p>“Take these 22 Chief God divine cores with you to refine all together,” Meng Lei repeated with a smile.</p><p>“Oh no, no, no. I can’t accept this.” Ol’ Amos shook his head vigorously. “I’m satisfied with this one. What is the use of so many divine cores? You should keep them for yourself!”</p><p>“These are useless to me now.”</p><p>Meng Lei gifted 22 divine cores from the supreme Celestial Realm to Ol’ Amos with a wave of his arm. “Alright, don’t waste time on refining these. I’m leaving.”</p><p>With that said, Meng Lei disappeared straightaway. Ol’ Amos watched him disappear before he tried to call him, but Meng Lei was nowhere to be seen. He could not help but let out wry laughs after wry laughs.</p><p>He had just been struck by bliss, but he did not expect more bliss to come. 23 Chief God divine cores were unimaginable!</p><p>Ol’ Amos hugged those 23 divine cores and fell into blissful trouble. “How am I supposed to refine all these? Sigh… Sometimes bliss can be a problem too.”</p>

Chapter 428 - Destined To Buy Credits, Endless Darkness

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 428 - Destined To Buy Credits, Endless Darkness</h1><p>The remaining 23 Chief God divine cores from the supreme Celestial Realm were saved for Dodola. Ever since his transmigration to this world, the ones closest to him were Ol’ Amos and Dodola. Naturally, he would leave the best for them.</p><p>Meng Lei arrived at the 100th level of the Tower of Time. Dodola remained to lie on the grass in the process of refining its Great Perfection divine core, showing no sign of waking up.</p><p>Meng Lei was rather perplexed. Dodola’s state was higher than Ol’ Amos, and it had started refining the Great Perfection divine core earlier than Ol’ Amos. So why had it not succeeded yet?</p><p>Just as Meng Lei was in doubt, Dodola’s eyes opened up with a sharp glint flashing in its eyes. “Meng Lei, why are you here?”</p><p>“To see you.” Meng Lei smiled. “Did you succeed?”</p><p>“Yes!”</p><p>Dodola stretched its body while it squealed in excitement. “And, I’ve comprehended the destruction laws of nature remaining in the divine core too!”</p><p>“I see.”</p><p>Meng Lei was cleared of his doubt.</p><p><em>No wonder it took longer than Ol’ Amos. It’s the comprehension of the destruction laws of nature, after all.</em></p><p>After that, Meng Lei brought out the 23 Chief God divine cores. Upon sensing the aura of the divine cores, Dodola could not take its eyes off them.</p><p>“C-Chief God divine cores?”</p><p>“Yeap!”</p><p>Meng Lei smiled. “These are the Chief God divine cores from the supreme Celestial Realm. 23 in total. You can take them to refine. Refining the first one might take some time, but the rest will be much easier.”</p><p>“Where did all these divine cores come from?”</p><p>Dodola could not believe its eyes as it knew the level of difficulty of getting one’s hands on Chief God divine core. Back when its old master had tried to obtain just one Chief God divine core, he had gone to the length of stealing a high-end existential plane seed, eventually costing him his life.</p><p>Why steal a high-end existential plane seed?</p><p>Stealing a high-end existential plane would be relatively easier than killing Chief Gods with lesser risk.</p><p>It was only a pity that it had failed.</p><p>After such an experience, Dodola knew how hard it would be to obtain a Chief God divine core. However, over 20 Chief God divine cores appeared before its eyes. Dodola thought that it was dreaming.</p><p>“There are only so many Chief God divine cores in the entire universe, so I guess you should know why.”</p><p>“You killed over 20 Chief Gods?”</p><p>Dodola was dumbfounded.</p><p>“Not just that, all the Chief Gods in the ten major Divine Realms and supreme Celestial Realm were killed by me. Now only two Juggernauts remain.” Meng Lei continued.</p><p>Gasp!</p><p>…</p><p>Meng Lei returned to the Netherworld Shrine. Before long, the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King returned to present the wealth they had collected.</p><p>“Good job, everyone.”</p><p>After some collecting…</p><p>Meng Lei’s Wealth grew by another 1,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals, adding to the 1,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals for a total of 2,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>It wasn’t enough, far from it. Buying credits for the destiny laws of nature required him to spend 100,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>What could 2,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals do?</p><p>“Master, are these riches not of satisfaction for you?” the Supreme God of The Underworld asked when he saw Meng Lei’s frown.</p><p>“Still far from it!”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head.</p><p>“Please be patient, Master. I’ll leave at once to collect more from the untouched magic crystal mines in the supreme Celestial Realm,” the Supreme God of The Underworld replied quickly.</p><p>“Magic crystal mines?”</p><p>Meng Lei was surprised.</p><p>“What’s the matter, Master?”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld was puzzled.</p><p>“Ah! How could I forget that!?”</p><p>Meng Lei smacked his forehead with some frustration. He had almost forgotten that no matter how much wealth each godly clan had amassed, they could not be compared to Divinity Crystal mines and Magic Crystal mines.</p><p>The ten Divine Realms and the supreme Celestial Realm had countless mines, and if they were fully mined…</p><p>Meng Lei could no longer sit still as he ordered. “Hadis, and the Grim Reaper King, mine all of them immediately! Oh, and gather all the Demon Grandmasters. They will take charge of mining and collecting the wealth from Hell, the Abyss, and the Demon Realm. Will you complete this task?”</p><p>“You have our guarantee!”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King answered and left immediately.</p><p>“And you two,” Meng Lei looked toward the Life Dominus and Death Dominus, “I’m sending both of you back to the Celestial Realm. Do you need me to tell you what to do?”</p><p>The Life Dominus and Death Dominus nodded their heads repeatedly. “We know what to do, Master!”</p><p>“Great!”</p><p>Meng Lei sent the two Juggernauts back to the Celestial Realm while he traveled to the ten major Divine Realms as he prepared for mining the Divinity Crystal mines over there.</p><p>Demon Grandmasters were alive in Hell, the Abyss, and the Demon Realm. Under the command of the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King, these Demon Grandmasters would not dare to defy orders. They would surely work on mining in those realms diligently.</p><p>The ten major Divine Realms were different since all the Chief Gods were dead, so Meng Lei had to do it himself.</p><p>His method of extraction was simple. Find the mine, then use his special ability of teleportation.</p><p>In a short instant, the ore deep beneath the ground was teleported out through Meng Lei. It was simple and much faster and efficient than having Chief Gods do the job.</p><p>Meng Lei arrived in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm as his first destination.</p><p>After two days, every single mine in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm got emptied by Meng Lei.</p><p>After checking on the extra 700 supreme Divinity Crystal in his stats interface, Meng Lei could not help but laugh. “As I’ve expected, true riches come from mines.”</p><p>In the next half a month, Meng Lei went to the nine other Divine Realms to extract from more mines. On average, he would obtain 700-800 supreme Divinity Crystals from every Divine Realm. When he finally finished, Meng Lei obtained a grand total of…</p><p>Over 7,000 supreme Divinity Crystals!</p><p>Adding to the 2,500 supreme Divinity Crystals from before, his wealth had grown to a stunning 10,000 supreme Divinity Crystals as he got closer to 100,000 that he needed.</p><p>“If the ten major Divine Realms can bring me 10,000 supreme Divinity Crystals, I wonder how many more can they mine from the supreme Celestial Realm? Hope it isn’t disappointing.”</p><p>Meng Lei was full of anticipation as he went to the supreme Celestial Realm. Yet, the Life Dominus and Death Dominus were still mining, prompting Meng Lei to join in.</p><p>The supreme Celestial Realm did not disappoint. The size of its mine reserves and the number of mines were simply incomparable to the ten major Divine Realms.</p><p>They mined for another two months before they were finally done. After three months of hard work, the reward was gratifying as Meng Lei earned a total of 130,000 supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>130,000!</p><p>That was crazy!</p><p>This meant that Meng Lei’s wealth had reached a staggering 140,000 crystals!</p><p>“System, buy credit for the destiny laws of nature.”</p><p>100,000 supreme Divinity Crystals were gone. At the same time, a stunning torrent of data rushed into his divine spirit like a breached dam. Immediately after, Meng Lei’s divine spirit entered a magical world.</p><p>Countless information of destinies intertwined…</p><p>Countless destiny laws of nature in perfect harmony…</p><p>Countless destiny runes danced around…</p><p>This was the destiny world—or rather—the destiny-origin world.</p><p>It contained every destiny laws of nature, and the ultimate comprehension of destiny. Meng Lei did not need to spend too much time comprehending these as they rushed into Meng Lei’s divine spirit, allowing him to learn and master quickly.</p><p>“What’s going on with our Master?”</p><p>Seeing that Meng Lei was sitting down crossed-legged all of a sudden, the Life Dominus and Death Dominus were rather startled.</p><p><em>He was fine just a while ago… What’s going on?</em></p><p>“It seems like our Master has somehow progressed and broken through!”</p><p>“Broke through? Another breakthrough?”</p><p>They could not find any more words to describe this man. How did he break through to another level when he was already that powerful? How powerful would he become after breaking through to the next level?</p><p>Although they had tons of questions in their minds, the Life Dominus and Death Dominus did not dare to idle as they surveyed the surroundings to prevent any disturbance to Meng Lei.</p><p>…</p><p>Just as Meng Lei was busy with his comprehension of the destiny laws of nature, there was a dark fissure in the central region of the universe. It looked like a scar engraved on the Void. It also seemed like a giant mouth of a monster that could devour any lifeforms.</p><p>This fissure was the Dark Abyss.</p><p>No one knew how it came to be, no less what was exactly inside the depths of the Dark Abyss. All they knew was that it was an extremely cold, treacherous, and deathly silent domain. Even Chief Gods would not dare to enter…</p><p>This day, a gray skeleton suddenly appeared at the edge of the Dark Abyss before disappearing into the fissure.</p><p>The Dark Abyss was bottomless, and its visibility was zero. There were not even any references inside, which made it simple to lose one’s way within. However, the gray skeleton seemed to be familiar with the place as it traveled toward the deepest part of the Dark Abyss.</p><p>After traveling for some time, the gray skeleton finally stopped as it gazed at the empty dark void around him. “Darkness, my old friend. Why don’t you show yourself?”</p><p>There was no response from the dark void, but the gray skeleton waited quietly with patience. After quite a while, two gigantic red suns appeared abruptly in the empty void.</p><p>Wait!</p><p>Those were not suns.</p><p>They were two blood-red eyes!</p><p>The pair of huge blood-colored eyes was gleaming with a bewitching blood-red glow, and a deep, hoarse voice came across.</p><p>“Old skeleton, your days are limited. Why didn’t you live freely before the arrival of death and instead came here?”</p><p>“Hehe, I want to, but someone won’t allow that!” The gray skeleton shook its head as it spoke. “Never mind that, I’ll get straight to the point. A powerful being was born during this era with nothing known about him, but he’s capable of surpassing a Supreme God! You should know what this means.”</p><p>“Hehehe! Did you come all the way here just to joke with me, old skeleton?” ‘Darkness’ said mockingly, “It’s not even halfway past this era, so how is it possible for an expert like this to be born at this stage? And even surpass a Supreme God? Hehehe…”</p><p>“It’s all true!”</p><p>The gray skeleton did not waste any time to say everything about Meng Lei. When he finished, ‘Darkness’ fell silent.</p><p>“Although we don’t fear him, his growth speed is too alarming. When this era comes to an end, who knows what he’ll become?” The gray skeleton said, “We must kill him! Or else, we’ll be gone in this era!”</p><p>“Old skeleton, I’m different from you. I still have the next era,” ‘Darkness’ said slowly.</p><p>“Next era?”</p><p>The gray skeleton sneered as he spoke in a tone full of mockery. “By the time he finally refines this universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe, do you think the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process will still happen then?”</p>

Chapter 429 - Black Hole, True Wealth

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 429 - Black Hole, True Wealth</h1><p>Time went by before Meng Lei finally awakened. There was a mysterious fluctuating aura in his eyes, abstruse and unpredictable.</p><p>“You’re awake, Master?”</p><p>The Life Dominus and Death Dominus looked at Meng Lei at the same time. However, once their eyes met, a jolt ran through them as if they became obsessed. Their consciousness went blank and drifted away for quite a while until they eventually regained their senses.</p><p>“What happened?”</p><p>The two Juggernauts exchanged a look and saw the alarm in each other’s eyes.</p><p>Meng Lei let out a long pent-up breath while he could hardly stay calm. He would never have understood the profound meaning within the destiny laws of nature if he did not spend his wealth.</p><p>Complete mastery of the destiny laws of nature was another level compared to comprehension of the tip of the iceberg.</p><p>Previously, he could enter the Void of Destiny to see the destiny lines of lifeforms and cut them, meaning he could cut off their destiny and kill them instantly.</p><p>This time, Meng Lei could do much more than that.</p><p>He could change the direction of every destiny line and change the destiny of life itself!</p><p>He could see destiny lines from every existential plane, including the Celestial Realm and the Netherworld, to control their destiny.</p><p>He could see that the lines of destiny were not independent of each other as they originated from the same place. In fact, every line of destiny originated from there as well.</p><p>Meng Lei could not tell where it was, but he believed that it should be the place that contained the universe’s origin energy, which the Destruction Dominus was longing for.</p><p>“Destiny laws of nature are simply magical!</p><p><em>Now, changing someone’s destiny feels like a mere thought away.</em></p><p><em>Alright, time to try it out.</em></p><p>Meng Lei found Puhaman’s line of destiny and began to view Puhaman’s destiny.</p><p>One’s destiny had countless possibilities. The slightest tweak would cause an immense ripple effect on that destiny.</p><p>Puhaman’s destiny was the same, with many different possible futures. Meng Lei found the best future among them—Puhaman successfully assimilated the Chief God divine core to become a Chief God of the Earth Divine Realm, living a lofty and carefree life until the end of the era.</p><p>This destiny was the best of the lot, but Meng Lei was not satisfied with it. “Only a Chief God all your life? What a good-for-nothing.”</p><p>Hence, Meng Lei broke off other unrelated destiny lines until one remained.</p><p>The result was that Puhaman would eventually comprehend the destruction laws of nature and the death laws of nature to become a Supreme God.</p><p>He had basically locked Puhaman’s destiny as it was no longer full of other possibilities.</p><p>Puhaman would follow this path Meng Lei left for him to comprehend the destruction laws of nature and the death laws of nature…</p><p>Until he would become a Supreme God!</p><p>After that, Meng Lei started to change the destinies of others and wiped off those needless destiny lines.</p><p>After a series of adjustments, all of his subordinates could comprehend at least two supreme laws of nature to become a Juggernaut at the very least.</p><p>“Now, this is how to use the destiny laws of nature.”</p><p>Meng Lei let out a long breath. It was an unimaginable feat to change the fate of others, after all.</p><p>Immediately after, Meng Lei looked at the two Juggernauts. “Let’s go to the Netherworld.”</p><p>“Yes, Master!”</p><p>Meng Lei located the destiny line of the Supreme God of The Underworld to lock onto his position before he teleported with the two Juggernauts.</p><p>“Master!”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld bowed upon the sight of his master. Meanwhile, 23 Demon Grandmasters were busy with the excavation in the mines.</p><p>There were a total of 46 Demon Grandmasters in the Netherworld. To mine every Magic Crystals here, he had assembled all 23 Demon Grandmasters under his charge to help.</p><p>Despite that, two months had passed, and they had not completed the mining, a stark contrast to Meng Lei’s mining speed.</p><p>“Not finished yet?”</p><p>Meng Lei broke into a slight frown.</p><p>“Not yet, Master!”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld shook his head.</p><p>“Bring me what you have extracted so far.”</p><p>Hadis presented the spatial ring hurriedly.</p><p>After collecting the crystals in the ring, Meng Lei obtained another 60,000 supreme Divinity Crystals, which added up to a total of over 100,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>“Tsk, tsk! 100,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals!”</p><p>Meng Lei remarked before giving out some instructions to Hadis and left afterward.</p><p>“Who’s that, Lord Hadis?”</p><p>A group of Demon Grandmasters surrounded him as shock and puzzlement filled their eyes.</p><p><em>How could Lord Hadis refer to him as ‘Master’?</em></p><p><em>Master of Lord Hadis?</em></p><p><em>What kind of joke was that?</em></p><p>“Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t be asking!”</p><p>The Supreme God of The Underworld gave a cold stare at his Demon Grandmasters. A chill went up to their spines as they went back to work in the mines.</p><p>Meng Lei found the Grim Reaper King and obtained around 50,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals from him. It added up to his wealth to a whooping 150,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>“It’s 150,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals already!”</p><p>Meng Lei read his stats interface. “I can buy credit for another Genesis laws of nature, but it’s just a pity that there isn’t any for me to do it now. How frustrating. Never mind, time to enhance my divine spirit first.”</p><p>“Ding! The host’s divine spirit is currently comparable to a Supreme Juggernaut’s and will rival that of a Supreme God of The Universe after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 5,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?</p><p>“Yes, enhance it!”</p><p>Boom!</p><p>A cool energy wave surged into his sea of consciousness as if a celestial river was pouring down into his divine spirit flame.</p><p>For a while, the divine spirit flame that was suspended in the boundless sea of consciousness exploded into a ferocious flame that kept on growing.</p><p>2 times, 10 times, 100 times…</p><p>200 times, 600 times, 1,000 times…</p><p>3,000 times, 7,000 times, 10,000 times…</p><p>The divine spirit flame grew by 10,000 times until the end of the enhancement process.</p><p>After that, it did not expand further as it collapsed suddenly and shrunk madly toward its center.</p><p>10% to 1%…</p><p>0.1% to 0.01%…</p><p>The divine spirit flame continued to shrink, but at the same time, it was like a supernova explosion that released ravaging energy waves on a colossal scale.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The raging energy waves ravaged their surroundings as a super hurricane was formed. It was fortunate that there was no form of life in the sea of consciousness as it would have completely wiped out everything in its path, and nothing could survive the terrifying hurricane.</p><p>0.001% to 0.0001%…</p><p>0.00001% to 0.000001%…</p><p>The divine spirit flame kept shrinking as if there was no end to it. In a matter of seconds, it had shrunk from the size of one million kilometers to the size of a taxi, then to the size of a basketball.</p><p>Size of a pomelo…</p><p>Size of an orange…</p><p>Size of a walnut…</p><p>Finally, the divine spirit flame became a little black spot that was almost invisible to the naked eye.</p><p>Just when Meng Lei thought that his divine spirit was going to disappear, a black hole appeared in his sea of consciousness.</p><p>Immediately after, the black hole expanded at the speed of light, from a hundred meters to ten million kilometers, to…</p><p>With that, a boundless black hole spanning across the sea of consciousness created a terrifying gravitational pull that could devour anything just like the black hole from reality.</p><p>“My divine spirit fire just became a black hole?”</p><p>Meng Lei stood in the boundless sea of consciousness as he gazed at that black hole with a dazed look.</p><p><em>A divine spirit can turn into a black hole? What kind of plot is this?</em></p><p>Although he was baffled, Meng Lei felt nothing of discomfort. The only difference was that his divine spirit had become immensely compressed with power, while his mind worked faster than a supercomputer with innumerable thoughts flashing across his mind.</p><p>“My divine spirit… It’s powerful!”</p><p>Meng Lei left the sea of consciousness and released his divine cognition that covered the entire Netherworld in just a few short breaths.</p><p>Meng Lei saw demons killing each other and the vast Skeleton Sea…</p><p>His divine cognition continued expanding until it reached the Void beyond the Netherworld. He saw countless meteors and floating continents; he saw dozens of material planes near the Netherworld; he saw…</p><p>At that moment, Meng Lei was still pretty relaxed, meaning he was more than capable of expanding his divine cognition further out. He chose not to as he retrieved his divine cognition.</p><p>“So this is how a Supreme God of The Universe’s divine spirit feels like? That’s unbelievable!” A sharp glint flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes as he could not hide his joy.</p><p>Moreover, he found another benefit of strengthening his divine spirit—it made it easier for him to control the destiny laws of nature.</p><p>If Meng Lei was like a three-year-old playing with a hammer previously, he was now an adult using a wedge properly.</p><p>Simple and relaxed.</p><p>Easy and smooth.</p><p>“This feels awesome!”</p><p>Meng Lei took a long breath and looked at those around him. Only then did he realize that the Life Dominus, Death Dominus, and the Grim Reaper King were all on the ground, trembling like timid mice.</p><p>“What’s going on?”</p><p>Meng Lei was puzzled.</p><p>“M-master, your divine spirit force is too p-powerful!” The Life Dominus quivered as she said, “W-we c-can’t breathe!”</p><p>“Oh?”</p><p>Meng Lei came to a realization. “Please excuse me, I accidentally broke through to the next level just now, and I didn’t suppress my aura.”</p><p>“…”</p><p>The Life Dominus and Death Dominus rolled their eyes as they had a strong urge to curse. On the other hand, the Grim Reaper King was in shock and was glad that he had not fought Meng Lei previously. He would have died a horrible death if he had done so.</p><p>The aura alone was powerful enough. What would then be the extent of Meng Lei’s true capability?</p><p>Meng Lei had no time to care about their thoughts as he gazed at the vast Netherworld, revealing a smile suddenly.</p><p>“Since my divine cognition can cover the entire Netherworld, why not conduct some good old plundering?”</p><p>Thus, Meng Lei released his divine cognition once again.</p><p>Whoosh!</p><p>In an instant, Meng Lei’s divine cognition shrouded the entire Netherworld and activated his Transfer ability.</p><p>Immediately after, the Life Dominus and the rest saw something amazing—golden rain started falling from the sky!</p><p>Gold was everywhere. There were stacks of gold coins, chunks of gold nuggets, various gold products…</p><p>“What’s going on?”</p><p>The three Juggernauts were stupefied.</p><p>After half a minute, gold piled upon the earth they stood on, spanning an area of hundreds of billions square kilometers and a height of several thousands of kilometers.</p><p>The gold mountain dazzled and almost blinded the three Juggernauts’ eyes.</p><p>Gold was a mere ordinary object that was worthless to the Juggernauts. Still, despite having seen all kinds of scenes, the three Juggernauts had never seen such a gigantic mountain made up of gold objects.</p><p>“Collect!”</p><p>Meng Lei was satisfied with the gold mountain as he collected it into the system storage space.</p><p>After that were the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, then the Divinity Crystals, and finally the Divinity Crystal ores.</p><p>At last, Meng Lei ransacked every piece of gold, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, Demonic Crystals there were in the Netherworld. Other than the special planes that divine cognition could not detect, he had truly plundered everything.</p><p>Thus, the haul was incredible.</p><p>Meng Lei obtained 167,000 Supreme Divinity Crystals. On top of the previous 14,500 crystals, his wealth had grown to 181,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.</p><p>Wealth: 181,500 Supreme Divinity Crystals</p><p>That was simply unimaginable!</p><p>Hence, it was evident that true wealth neither lay in the treasuries of each godly clans nor lay in the mines—it was in the pockets of the trillions of ordinary citizens!</p><p>That was the meaning of ‘Hiding wealth among the people’.</p><p>“So this means that the Celestial Realm and the ten Divine Realms should have much more wealth waiting to be collected!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s eyes glinted sharply. However, Meng Lei sensed a familiar aura appearing in the air not far away at that moment.</p><p>“Mm?”</p><p>Meng Lei looked over there and saw a slight ripple in the air as a gray skeleton appeared gradually. Its grayish will-o’-the-wisp fluttered along with the wind while it stared at Meng Lei.</p><p>“Destruction Dominus!”</p><p>Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.</p><p>“Such an aura! He’s…”</p><p>The Life Dominus, Death Dominus, and the Grim Reaper King’s expressions dramatically changed when they noticed the gray skeleton and its terrifying aura.</p><p>“Aren’t you going to kill me, little one?” The gray skeleton’s skull opened and closed its mouth. “Come get me if you’re good enough!”</p><p>After that, the gray skeleton disappeared in thin air.</p><p>“Hmph, a boring trick of a feigned retreat!”</p><p>Meng Lei smiled and followed casually.</p><p>“Let’s follow them too!”</p><p>The three Juggernauts exchanged a look. Though they had many reservations, they began to catch up nevertheless.</p><p>The gray skeleton flew in front, while Meng Lei strolled behind while the distance between them remained the same.</p><p>The speed was not too fast as the three Juggernauts could keep up easily.</p><p>Soon, they flew out of the Netherworld and into the Void.</p><p>The gray skeleton quickened its pace all of a sudden while Meng Lei followed suit.</p><p>This time, the three Juggernauts could no longer keep up despite their best efforts as they got thrown off quickly.</p>

Chapter 430 - Pinnacle-Level Strength And The Laws Of Nature

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 430 - Pinnacle-Level Strength And The Laws Of Nature</h1><p>One flew, and the other chased.</p><p>The chasing battle between Meng Lei and the gray skeleton continued on for an unknown period before a black crack appeared suddenly in front of them. It was so deep that its bottom couldn’t be seen. The gray skeleton looked back at Meng Lei, let out two shrieking peals of laughter, and plunged right into it.</p><p>“Meng Lei, wait!”</p><p>Moro stopped Meng Lei. “This is the Dark Abyss. The gray skeleton purposefully lured you here. This should be one of his schemes!”</p><p>“This is the Dark Abyss?” Meng Lei raised his brows. “It’s actually my first time here!”</p><p>“The Dark Abyss is extremely deep and dangerous. I advise you not to go in, in case you fall into the gray skeleton’s traps!”</p><p>“It took the effort to lure me here. If I don’t go in, wouldn’t it disappoint?” Meng Lei shook his head slightly and went right into the Dark Abyss.</p><p>He wasn’t afraid of any schemes. In the face of absolute strength, any calculation and schemes were useless. Such was Meng Lei’s confidence.</p><p>“Alright! Be careful, then!”</p><p>Seeing that his advice was in vain, Moro advised no more.</p><p>After entering the Dark Abyss, his eyes suddenly went black, and he fell into absolute darkness. Without any object for reference, Meng Lei had no idea where to go.</p><p>Fortunately, the gray skeleton’s ghostly fire flickered and provided the sole source of light in the dark that guided Meng Lei to go forward. He went all the way in, and the surroundings got darker and darker, quieter and quieter, colder and colder, while the energy of the living world became thinner and thinner.</p><p>Most crucially, laws of nature became thinner and thinner, including even supreme laws of nature.</p><p>After an unknown period, the gray skeleton suddenly stopped, turned back, and looked at Meng Lei.</p><p>Meng Lei smiled and said, “Not advancing further? There’s no need to keep going deeper?”</p><p>The gray skeleton’s mouth opened and closed, letting out a shrieking, weird peal of laughter. “You are really bold. You clearly knew that I was luring you, yet you still dared to follow!”</p><p>“If you were a tiger, of course, I would have to be cautious. A pity that you’re not.” Meng Lei shook his head. “You are at most a sheep.”</p><p>“A sheep?”</p><p>The gray skeleton let out a few weird peals of laughter, not angered. “One can’t know whether someone is a tiger or a sheep without a fight, isn’t it so?”</p><p>“That’s true.” Meng Lei didn’t argue. “Call for people! Call out all your help. Let me see what you old fossils are capable of!”</p><p>“Before I kill you, please allow me to introduce this place to you. This is called the Dark Abyss. It is what remained of the battlefield after the descent of the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process of the last era!”</p><p>The gray skeleton smiled and said, “Although this place was mended over by the laws of nature after the new era arrived, the remnant laws of nature were too thick that even the new era couldn’t erase them. Thus, this place eventually evolved into this!”</p><p>“I see.” Meng Lei nodded slightly. “A battlefield that even the new era can’t repair. I can imagine how horrifying the battle back then must be for you all!”</p><p>“Of course!” The gray skeleton smiled and said, “In order to stop me from snatching the universe’s origin energy during that battle, all the experts of the last era were mobilized. A grand total of 9 Supreme Gods and 43 Supreme Dominus. They eventually successfully stopped me… at the price of their lives!”</p><p>“9 Supreme Gods and 43 Supreme Dominus!” Meng Lei couldn’t help but exclaim, “The powerhouses of the last era were really good!”</p><p>“The last era was special.” The gray skeleton explained, “In the middle period of that era, the carcass of a creature from the outer-universe unexpectedly appeared in our universe. Thi carcass led to the great evolution of species in the last era. That’s the reason 9 Supreme Gods and 43 Supreme Dominuses appeared in that era!”</p><p>“Carcass of a creature from the outer-universe?” Meng Lei’s entire body shook violently. “So there are really other creatures outside this universe?”</p><p>“Supposedly so.” The gray skeleton nodded slightly. “I’m not sure what exactly it is like outside the universe. Even someone as strong as I am can’t live outside of the universe. But this carcass can indeed reflect the situation outside the universe to a certain extent.”</p><p>Meng Lei continued asking, “What happened to that carcass?”</p><p>“Naturally, it was divided.” The gray skeleton said, laughing, “After obtaining the carcass, the strength of many experts of the last era improved rapidly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to stop me!”</p><p>“Then your luck is really bad…”</p><p>Meng Lei couldn’t help but smile.</p><p>“My luck has always been terrible!” The gray skeleton sighed. “In the last era, I was ruined by the carcass of that creature, and in this era, a freak like you appeared. I’m probably the most unlucky being in the whole universe!”</p><p>“You are very unlucky indeed.”</p><p>Meng Lei chuckled.</p><p>“But, this is my final chance!” The gray skeleton’s tone suddenly grew cold. “I will not give up no matter what! I will definitely not allow anyone to ruin my plan!”</p><p>“Finally, the main topic after so much random chatter.” Meng Lei flicked his fingers. “To be honest, I would very much like to see what horrifying means you, who have lived for two eras, have.”</p><p>“You will see. Attack!” roared the gray skeleton.</p><p>Buzz…</p><p>Right after it finished speaking, a strange wave of laws of nature suddenly filled the entire void.</p><p>This wave was very strange. It was an entirely new type of laws of nature, and it was at a very high level, completely surpassing supreme laws of nature to reach another level.</p><p>Meng Lei was certain that these were genesis laws of nature. He couldn’t sense which type of genesis laws of nature it was, but he could be certain that it was definitely not destiny laws of nature!</p><p>“Meng Lei, this is order laws of nature!” Moro yelled, “Be careful of the powers of the order!”</p><p>“Order laws of nature!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s heart chilled.</p><p><em>This is the order laws of nature?</em></p><p>“Little fellow, did you feel it?”</p><p>The gray skeleton started laughing strangely. At the same time, its aura suddenly increased, and it surpassed the level of Supreme Dominus to reach the level of Supreme God.</p><p>Lower-level Supreme God!</p><p>Mid-level Supreme God!</p><p>Upper-level Supreme God!</p><p>Perfect Supreme God!</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The gray skeleton’s aura finally reached the level of a Perfect Supreme God, and a terrible power of suppression erupted, sweeping in all directions madly.</p><p>Even Meng Lei felt unprecedented terrible pressure.</p><p>“This is exactly the feeling!”</p><p>“This is exactly the feeling!”</p><p>The gray skeleton laughed. “Little fellow, did you know? The new era is very unfriendly to us, the old era’s remnants.</p><p>“We can’t consume the energy of heaven and earth, can’t mobilize the laws of nature, can’t cultivate to strengthen ourselves, and our strength is continuously suppressed at the level of Dominus!</p><p>“It is the Universal Order!</p><p>“Or in other words, the order laws of nature!</p><p>“Luckily, this is the Dark Abyss, the place where the Universal Order is the weakest. Furthermore, the presence of Darkness’ laws of nature directly cancels out the weak Universal Order!</p><p>“I am not suppressed now. My strength has completely returned to its peak condition—Perfect Supreme God!”</p><p>The gray skeleton looked at Meng Lei, laughed weirdly, and said, “Little fellow, do you feel the chill? Do you feel the fear? Do you feel scared?”</p><p>Meng Lei rolled his eyes before asking, “Just now, you mentioned the Darkness’ laws of nature, so that means your other companion is called Darkness, and he comprehended the laws of nature?”</p><p>“You—”</p><p>The gray skeleton was a bit angry upon seeing that Meng Lei completely disregarded it. Instead, he was more interested in Darkness. “Little fellow, you will pay a heavy and tragic price for your rudeness and pride!”</p><p>Yet Meng Lei paid him no heed at all. Destiny laws of nature spread out and filled the Dark Abyss instantly. Since the so-called Darkness released the order laws of nature, he must be near.</p><p>Find him!</p><p>He had to find him!</p><p>“Gotcha!”</p><p>A sharp light flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes, and he disappeared right where he was. When he reappeared, he was already deeper in the Dark Abyss, in front of a gargantuan creature.</p><p>This was a giant looking somewhat like a dragon and also a snake. It had the head, horns, and wings of a giant dragon, a serpent-like body that was covered in black dragon scales.</p><p>Its body was tens of light-years long, several times larger than even a mid-level existential plane.</p><p>“Void Beast… Dark Beast?” Moro’s voice sounded. “No! This aura… This aura… It’s him! It’s that guy! He’s actually also not dead!”</p><p>“That guy?” Meng Lei raised his brows. “Moro, you know this guy?”</p><p>“If I didn’t sense wrongly, he is probably a friend of mine, Dark Lord!” Moro flew out of the Tower of Time, condensed into a ball of black shadow, and stared at the black behemoth in front of him. “Darkness, is it you?”</p><p>“Moro!”</p><p>The Dark Lord spoke, making a thunder-like boom.</p><p>“It’s really you!” Moro immediately showed a trace of a smile. “I didn’t expect you were also alive. I had already said, back then, you were the strongest of us all, how could you possibly die off easily!”</p><p>“Moro, this is not the time to catch up!” Dark Lord’s voice rang like a huge bell. “Join us and get rid of this guy first!”</p><p>“No! Darkness, you can’t associate yourself with that schemer!” Moro shook his head immediately. “Did you forget? If not for that bast*rd, we wouldn’t have met such a tragic end. You should be dealing with him, not Meng Lei!”</p><p>“Moro, our era has passed, and now we are deadly suppressed by the new era, neither human nor ghost, without hope or an endpoint, only living out our pathetic lives hiding in a dark, remote corner!”</p><p>The Dark Lord said slowly, “If we let this continue, we are not only going to have to stick around until the end of this era but also until the end of the next era before we can finally end this tragic life in the shadows!”</p><p>Moro fell silent. Just like Darkness said, the era belonging to them had ended. Under the suppression of the new era, they had no more hope to speak of.</p><p>“To change all this, we can only integrate the universe’s origin energy, become the Lord of The Universe, and then rewrite the Universal Order!”</p><p>The Dark Lord continued. “Moro, this is our only chance. Do you understand?”</p><p>“Darkness, I understand everything you said.” Moro smiled bitterly. “But you won’t succeed. Even if you join forces with this damn skeleton, you won’t beat Meng Lei. He is the one who has the greatest chance of ending the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process! Darkness, listen to me and turn back now!”</p><p>“Moro, after all you’ve said, you would rather follow a little mortal than join forces with me?”</p><p>The Dark Lord’s voice turned colder.</p><p>“You are doing what you clearly know can’t be done. You are basically looking for your own death.” Moro sighed.</p><p>“Then say no more!” The Dark Lord said coldly, “Bow at the feet of your little master all you like, I will kill him myself!”</p><p>“Kill me yourself?” Meng Lei spoke, somewhat disdainful. “With only the half-baked order laws of nature you have?”</p><p>“Little thing, accept your death!” roared the Dark Lord. A pair of bloody irises larger than a star shone with a monstrous bloody light, and roaring waves of order surrounded Meng Lei.</p><p>“I say: in front of me, laws of nature must disappear!</p><p>“I say: you will be imprisoned by endless darkness!”</p><p>Following the Dark Lord’s words, Meng Lei just felt that the already weak laws of nature disappeared instantly, including even the supreme laws of nature.</p><p>Right afterward, an unknown restricting force came from the darkness all around him and squeezed onto Meng Lei instantly. Meng Lei struggled slightly and realized that this restrictive force was very strong, and he actually couldn’t untangle himself from it!</p><p>“This is the order laws of nature?”</p><p>Meng Lei was astonished. This was the first time he felt the powers of the order laws of nature.</p><p>Maybe order laws of nature didn’t have direct destructive power. Instead, they could change the laws.</p><p>For example, fire could burn one to death. But after using order laws of nature, fire could freeze one to death.</p><p>For example, force was the reason objects changed their state of movement. After using the order laws of nature, force wouldn’t be able to change the objects’ state of movement.</p><p>One could say that the Universal Order was omnipresent—it ruled everything in the entire vast universe.</p><p>How the Universal Order was made would determine the shape of the universe, whether it was planetary, an existential plane, a technological civilization, or a magical civilization. This showed the powerfulness of the order laws of nature!</p><p>The dark behemoth spoke again. “I say: You will be devoured by boundless darkness!”</p><p>Meng Lei immediately felt an extraordinary force come from the darkness, madly devouring his lifeforce.</p><p>The darkness originally couldn’t imprison a person, much less devour the lifeforce of a person, but after the order laws of nature’s changes, it was given imprisonment and devouring properties.</p><p>This was how powerful order laws of nature were!</p><p>They could change the existing laws of nature and make new rules!</p><p>“Such good order laws of nature!” Meng Lei looked at the Dark Lord in excitement. “Dark Lord, your order laws of nature are really awe-inspiring. It’s a pity though.”</p><p>“What pity?” asked the Dark Lord coldly.</p><p>“A pity that in the next second, they will be mine!”</p><p>Meng Lei chuckled and was about to order the system to plunder when a huge red ball of light suddenly fell from the Dark Lord’s body. The system’s cue tone sounded along with it. “Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”</p><p>Meng Lei was taken aback. “Pick it up!”</p><p>“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Laws of Nature Fragment. Will you assimilate it?”</p><p>“laws of nature fragment? Could it be!?”</p><p>A mild jolt went through Meng Lei as a huge wave of information instantly rushed into his mind. Meng Lei gathered his thoughts and began to digest it quickly. After his comprehension, Meng Lei showed a smile.</p>

Chapter 431(End) - Lord Of The Universe, Primordial World Genesis

Volume 5

<h1>Chapter 431(End) - Lord Of The Universe, Primordial World Genesis</h1><p>That’s right!</p><p>Not only did Meng Lei pick up any other laws of nature, but it was also the giant black beast’s order laws of nature.</p><p>Meng Lei was in high spirits as he was about to plunder it before the order laws of nature fragment dropped out. It seemed that even the heavens would help him when he was that handsome.</p><p>After quite a while, Meng Lei reopened his eyes and looked at the giant black beast with sympathy.</p><p><em>How pitiful. I wonder how you’ll feel if you know that your order laws of nature got picked up by me?</em></p><p>“Right! Without further ado. System, buy credit for the order laws of nature.”</p><p>Boom!</p><p>Torrents of data about the order laws of nature surged into Meng Lei’s sea of consciousness while reinforcing his comprehension of the order laws of nature.</p><p>The vast universe was a massive system, one that ran in an orderly manner.</p><p>The birth of life…</p><p>The reproduction of various species…</p><p>Everything had their order with a fixed pattern.</p><p>What was the binding force behind such an order?</p><p>It was the Universal Order, in other words, the order laws of nature.</p><p>The universe worked under the Universal Order. Everything had to follow the laws and arrangements of the Universal Order as it controlled everything in the universe.</p><p>An unknown amount of time passed…</p><p>When Meng Lei finally reopened his eyes, the Dark Lord and the gray skeleton were attacking him incessantly.</p><p>The Dark Lord was using the order laws of nature to place a series of restrictions on Meng Lei. The gray skeleton’s attacks were simple—it activated its destiny laws of nature and repeatedly slashed onto Meng Lei’s line of destiny. Tragically, Meng Lei’s destiny line was too thick and strong. After a long while, the gray skeleton could only slice off the outermost layer of the destiny line like a fruit knife’s impact on tree bark.</p><p>“You bast*rd!” The gray skeleton was getting furious. “How could this fellow’s destiny line be so thick? Is this even a line of destiny? It should be called a destiny wall!”</p><p>“What exactly are you doing, old skeleton?” The Dark Lord urged, “Kill him right now! There are no better chances like this once he awakes!”</p><p>“Can’t you tell I’m trying to?” the gray skeleton bellowed instantly. “This bast*rd’s destiny line is too thick to cut through! Even after my best effort, I’ve only broken through the outermost layer. It’s impossible to cut it off completely without eight to ten years to spare!”</p><p>“Eight to ten years?” The Dark Lord was on the verge of breaking down. “Fool! We don’t have that much time! Find a way and kill him at once!”</p><p>“I… What can I do!?”</p><p>The gray skeleton was in desperation.</p><p>Indeed, desperation. As someone who had survived three eras and experienced enough to have a frame of mind as enduring as a rock, it had never been in such a desperate state before.</p><p>Yes, never.</p><p>The gray skeleton could not figure out how someone’s line of destiny could have such thickness.</p><p>What was the extent of Meng Lei’s power with such a thick destiny line?</p><p><em>Just how?! It makes no sense!</em></p><p>“Noooo!”</p><p><em>I can’t give up! He must die! No matter what! If he doesn’t, I don’t have any more chances!</em></p><p><em>It is my final chance!</em></p><p>As an ancient fossil that had survived three eras, the gray skeleton’s frame of mind was transcendental, so it readjusted its mindset and continued to attack Meng Lei’s line of destiny. However, it was right then when the gray skeleton realized something.</p><p>Meng Lei’s destiny line was expanding at a noticeable speed to the naked eye. Within a few short breaths, it had grown double its original size and continued expanding. As for the bit of outer layer he had broken, it had already been restored…</p><p>“What!?”</p><p>The gray skeleton was dumbstruck. “How is it still expanding when it’s so thick already? Does this mean that he has gotten even more powerful?”</p><p>“You… You’ve got to be kidding!”</p><p>The gray skeleton started to shiver as desperation seeped into its mind once again.</p><p>This time, it was in true despair, as it lost any hope possible.</p><p>The Dark Lord yelled, “What are you doing now, old skeleton?”</p><p>“Attack! Now! I can sense that he’s awakening soon. We don’t have much time—”</p><p>Before he could finish his sentence, an aged sigh echoed. “So this is the order laws of nature? It’s fascinating indeed!”</p><p>A jolt went through the Dark Lord and the gray skeleton as they looked up to see Meng Lei opening his eyes with a calm and peaceful expression.</p><p>“He’s awake!” bellowed the Dark Lord. “Old skeleton, stop holding back already!”</p><p><em>Me holding back!?</em></p><p><em>How am I holding back? I already did everything I could a long time ago, okay?</em></p><p>“Thank you, Dark Lord.”</p><p>Meng Lei opened his mouth.</p><p><em>He’s thanking me?</em></p><p>The Dark Lord was startled. “For?”</p><p>“Helping me comprehend the order laws of nature, of course.” Meng Lei smiled. “Why shouldn’t I thank you?”</p><p>“Y-you’ve comprehended the order laws of nature?” The Dark Lord paused before he sneered. “Stop speaking nonsense! The order laws of nature are the genesis laws of nature, which you’ll never comprehend!”</p><p>“Oh really?” Meng Lei shook his head and laughed. “The universe renews itself and alternates in the cycle. The Dark Abyss shouldn’t exist in this brand new era!”</p><p>Buzz!</p><p>As his words rang, a wave of the jurisdiction of the order laws of nature more powerful than what the Dark Lord had activated previously descended from the skies. Before long, it had spread everywhere to cover every corner of the Dark Abyss.</p><p>Immediately after, in the horror of the Dark Lord and the gray skeleton, a strong, torrential surge of the universe’s laws of nature gushed into every area of the Dark Abyss. It then built up a complete universe’s laws of nature chain web in the Dark Abyss, where the laws of nature were supposed to be weak.</p><p>The ten basic laws of nature and the five supreme laws of nature appeared and filled up every corner of the Dark Abyss.</p><p>After the appearance of the universe’s laws of nature, the powers of the five supreme laws of nature appeared as well. They quickly underwent conversion to become the ten major Power of Origin before converting into the purest ten magic elements.</p><p>In only a few short breaths, the Dark Abyss not only had the universe’s laws of nature, but it also possessed the powers of the five supreme laws of nature, ten major Power of Origin, and every magic element.</p><p>The drastic changes came to an end by this point. At the same time, the cosmic fissure, which was the Dark Abyss, began to disappear slowly.</p><p>It had dissolved into the Void.</p><p>Accurately speaking, it restored to the original appearance of the Void.</p><p>The gray skeleton and the Dark Lord stood in the Void as they sensed the universe’s laws of nature and the Power of Origin all around them. A chill went down their spines as they were stunned.</p><p>The Dark Abyss was gone!</p><p>The weakest location of the Universal Order had ceased to exist. The place where they could unleash their full potential was gone as well.</p><p>What means did they still have against Meng Lei?</p><p>“It’s over! All over!” the gray skeleton muttered to itself as its body staggered. Its aura had weakened significantly to the level of a Juggernaut due to the Universal Order’s suppression.</p><p>“Why is this happening?”</p><p>The Dark Lord could not accept the bare facts laid before him. He glared at Meng Lei. “You really did comprehend the order laws of nature!”</p><p>“That’s why I thanked you.” Meng Lei smiled with a calm expression. “Without you, I wouldn’t have comprehended it.”</p><p>“This deserves death! Death!”</p><p>The Dark Lord lets out another furious roar. The order laws of nature was his very core. It was his exclusive domain, and he would not allow anyone else to comprehend it.</p><p>“Die! Die!”</p><p>The Dark Lord attacked brazenly.</p><p>“Pointless struggles.”</p><p>Meng Lei shook his head slightly as he threw a Space Confinement at the Dark Lord. The current Dark Lord was not that powerful Supreme God anymore. He was now suppressed to a level of a Juggernaut, who could do nothing to escape the confinement.</p><p>“Let go of me! I’m going to kill you!” the Dark Lord bellowed repeatedly.</p><p>“What insolence!”</p><p>Meng Lei’s eyes gleamed coldly as a slap struck the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord seemed thunderstruck as his head became bashed and battered.</p><p>“Any more nonsense from you, and I’ll slaughter you!” Meng Lei said coldly as he turned his attention to the gray skeleton. “Is there anything you have to say?”</p><p>“The victor is king, while the loser is the knave after all.” The gray skeleton seemed abnormally calm, while its grayish will-o’-the-wisp went quiet as well. “There’s no injustice losing to you!”</p><p>“You’re gotten over it rather quickly, it seems.”</p><p>Meng Lei could not help to give it more respect.</p><p>“What’s so unacceptable about it?” The gray skeleton gave a faint smile. “I lived for three eras, and that’s long enough. My only desire was to assimilate the universe’s original energy to become the Lord of The Universe. It’s just a pity that this hope has just gone up in smoke. What lingering desires would I have?”</p><p>“Indeed!” Meng Lei nodded slightly. “But, don’t you feel that it’s a pity to just die like this?”</p><p>“Why? You’ll let me off?” The gray skeleton crackled. “You should just kill me. If I’m still alive, I’ll keep on scheming to assimilate the universe’s origin energy—”</p><p>“Nope. Not a chance.” Meng Lei gazed at the deepest part of the Void. “Didn’t you rack your brains to assimilate the universe’s origin energy? Come on. I’ll bring you there to take a look.”</p><p>“What did you just say?”</p><p>The gray skeleton was dazed.</p><p>Meng Lei did not explain further while releasing his divine cognition to cover the gray skeleton and the Dark Lord before disappearing on the spot.</p><p>When they reappeared, they arrived in an unfamiliar place. It was unfamiliar because it was different from existential planes and the Void. It was a world of nothingness except for a tiny black dot hovering there.</p><p>This black dot was extremely tiny. While no one knew its exact size, all three of them could sense its presence. At that moment, the gray skeleton and the Dark Lord got inexplicably excited.</p><p>Even Moro flew out.</p><p>“Sensed that?”</p><p>Meng Lei smiled as he looked at them.</p><p>“The universe’s origin energy! It is the universe’s origin energy!”</p><p>The gray skeleton stared at the black dot as it became incoherent with excitement.</p><p>“Indeed, this is the universe’s origin energy.” Meng Lei confirmed the gray skeleton’s speculation.</p><p>“So this is the universe’s origin energy? And it’s so small?” Moro was quite puzzled.</p><p>“You can say that the universe’s origin energy is small. It is smaller than the singularity at the center of the black hole, and no matter can enter through it.”</p><p>Then, Meng Lei changed the course of the conversation and said, “But, this is just the superficial aspect. The universe’s origin energy is enormous in a sense since it’s assimilated with the universe. It’s the very core of the universe, after all. Hence, there is no suitable unit of measurement to describe its literal size.”</p><p>Meng Lei glanced at the gray skeleton and the Dark Lord. “Let’s go in to take a look.”</p><p>“Can you enter the universe’s origin energy?”</p><p>The gray skeleton looked at Meng Lei in disbelief.</p><p>“Of course I can.”</p><p>Meng Lei raised both his hands slowly. A destiny laws of nature chain appeared on his left palm, while an order laws of nature chain appeared on his right palm.</p><p>With a light push, the two genesis laws of nature extended swiftly toward the black dot that represented the universe’s origin energy.</p><p>The black spot instantly lit up, and a terrifying gravitational force emerged.</p><p>“Don’t resist.” Meng Lei instructed as he allowed the pulling force to devour him into the black spot. The world spun before they arrived at a colorful world.</p><p>This world was filled with blurry colors that were like rainbows intertwining and suffusing everywhere. However, upon closer observation, the colorful beams consist only of three colors—red for order laws of nature, green for the destiny laws of nature, blue for the space-time laws of nature.</p><p>Three types of genesis laws of nature intertwined to form the laws governing the universe—the evolution of the universe, the structure of space-time, the birth of life, and the death of life.</p><p>Of course, other than the three genesis laws of nature, the power of genesis was everywhere as well.</p><p>The three powers of genesis and the three genesis laws of nature formed the universe’s origin energy.</p><p>The power of genesis and the genesis laws of nature combined to form the universe’s origin energy.</p><p>“It is the universe’s origin energy!”</p><p>The gray skeleton gulped as it trembled with rattling bones. After three eras, this was its closest time to the universe’s origin energy.</p><p>It was impossible for it to ignore this opportunity. It really wanted to charge and snatch the universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe.</p><p>It didn’t dare to, however.</p><p>It knew that it could never touch the universe’s origin energy with Meng Lei beside him. Moreover, its level was under the most suppression here in the world of the universe’s origin energy. Its level was suppressed to the Chief God level, so how was it supposed to rob it away?</p><p>The gray skeleton restrained itself.</p><p>It was a different story for the Dark Lord. Not everyone could stay rational with the universe’s origin energy at sight.</p><p>The Dark Lord’s eyes were blood-red while he flapped his wings to charge toward the core area of the universe’s origin energy. It was the spot where the three genesis laws of nature and the three powers of genesis intertwined the most to form a crystal—that was the Heart of The Universe!</p><p>“Refine!</p><p>“Once I refined the Heart of The Universe, the universe’s origin energy will be mine, and I shall become the Lord of The Universe!”</p><p>“Darkness!” Moro was terribly aghast. “Come back!”</p><p>“This fellow…”</p><p>The gray skeleton’s expression turned slightly.</p><p>“Idiot!”</p><p>Meng Lei sneered as he watched quietly without any intentions to stop the Dark Lord.</p><p>The Dark Lord was quick enough to appear before the Heart of The Universe. He could no longer hold on to his joy and excitement as he attempted to leave his divine spirit mark on the Heart of The Universe with his divine cognition.</p><p>It was a great dream, but in reality, once his divine cognition came into contact with the Heart of The Universe, a three-colored light beam burst off and struck the Dark Lord. In the next moment, the Dark Lord was vaporized, leaving no trace of him behind.</p><p>“Darkness!” Moro yelled.</p><p>A jolt went through the gray skeleton as well.</p><p>“He’s just been killed by the heart of the universe.” Meng Lei shook his head. “He got himself killed by the three powers of genesis. His destiny is gone, every reincarnation of him in all of space and time got wiped out, and the power of order blacklisted him. He’ll never revive ever again.”</p><p>The gray skeleton quivered in horror. Fortunately, it had resisted the urge. Otherwise, the Dark Lord would not have been alone.</p><p>“Darkness!”</p><p>Moro was dazed and despondent.</p><p>“Don’t get too upset over it, Moro.” Meng Lei consoled him. “Greed is what cost his life.”</p><p>“I understand.”</p><p>Moro sighed.</p><p>“Meng Lei, do you have a way to refine the universe’s origin energy?” The gray skeleton looked at Meng Lei eagerly.</p><p>“Me? Of course, I do!” Meng Lei smiled faintly. “Can’t you sense that the heart of the universe is calling for me?”</p><p>“Calling you?”</p><p>The gray skeleton was slightly taken aback. Meng Lei took a step forward and flew toward the Heart of The Universe. Moro hastily reminded, “Meng Lei! be careful!”</p><p>“I’ll be fine.”</p><p>Meng Lei approached the Heart of The Universe and released his divine spiritual power.</p><p>It was the same approach as the Dark Lord, and it almost made Moro’s heart pop. The gray skeleton stared at Meng Lei as it wanted to know whether Meng Lei would suffer the same fate as the Dark Lord.</p><p>Or would it turn out like how Meng Lei had said to successfully mark the Heart of The Universe with his divine spirit?</p><p>As the two watched nervously, Meng Lei’s divine spiritual power came into contact with the Heart of The Universe.</p><p>Boom! The same thing happened.</p><p>The three-colored light beam burst off the Heart of The Universe onto Meng Lei’s body.</p><p>The ending was completely different as Meng Lei did not dissipate instantly like the Dark Lord.</p><p>The three-colored light beams gathered toward Meng Lei’s body like birds returning to their nest. At the same time, the universe’s origin energy started to surge into Meng Lei’s body as if it had found a vent for it.</p><p>“Aahhh!”</p><p>Meng Lei roared into the sky as he could feel that the universe’s origin energy had split into two. The genesis laws of nature charged toward his sea of consciousness to enter his divine spirit. The power of genesis spread into his limbs to bind together as one.</p><p>“This… refinement?”</p><p>Moro was stunned.</p><p>“It’s the refining process!” The gray skeleton was astounded. “I could never have imagined that after all these years of hardships and planning to assimilate the universe’s origin energy, he would refine it right before me!”</p><p>“After refining the universe’s origin energy, Meng Lei will become the Lord of The Universe and the legendary Primordial World Genesis God?” muttered Moro. “My god! To think that I can witness the birth of a Primordial World Genesis God, it’s simply…”</p><p>The entire process was smooth and natural without taking up much time. For some time, all the power of genesis and the laws of nature surged into Meng Lei’s body and mind.</p><p>Even the Heart of The Universe rose gently to be engraved on Meng Lei’s forehead to become a three-colored rune.</p><p>Whew!</p><p>Meng Lei let out a long breath. At that moment, he could feel that the entire universe had become part of his body—every material plane, every mid-end existential plane, every Divine Realm, from as small as an ant to as large as the supreme Celestial Realm.</p><p>He could travel all across the universe with a thought.</p><p>He could travel back to the past and into the future with a thought.</p><p>“This feeling… It’s simply fascinating!”</p><p>Meng Lei was in absolute awe. When the universe became his body, looking at the universe now felt like an ordinary person observing a piece of leaf on a sandy beach.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>In the next moment, Meng Lei felt an incredible power getting injected into his body.</p><p>Meng Lei knew that the universe was enhancing and modifying his divine body and divine spirit after he had refined the universe’s origin energy to become the Lord of The Universe.</p><p>The Lord of The Universe must become a Primordial World Genesis God!</p><p>Hence, the universe helped in his evolution!</p><p>His divine body underwent insane improvements, his divine spirit was enhanced consistently, while his level of life started to evolve!</p><p>As time went by, Meng Lei’s evolution finally stopped, and he exercised his limbs. Boundless power swept across his entire body as his strength became way stronger than before.</p><p>“Am I a Primordial World Genesis God?”</p><p>Meng Lei asked softly as he checked his stats interface instinctively.</p><p>Host: Meng Lei</p><p>Race: Primordial World Genesis God</p><p>Wealth: A Primitive Universe</p><p>Physical Body Constitution: Primordial World Genesis Body</p><p>Spirit: Primordial World Genesis God</p><p>Laws of Nature: Destiny, Order, Space-Time</p><p>“So I am a Primordial World Genesis God!” Meng Lei murmured, “Even the space-time laws of nature that I lacked have just been comprehended! No wonder the gray skeleton did everything it could to assimilate the universe’s origin energy. The benefits are too great!”</p><p>“M-Meng Lei, you did it?” Moro asked carefully upon seeing no movements from Meng Lei for half the day.</p><p>Meng Lei reopened his eyes and nodded. “Yeap, I did it.”</p><p>A tremendous jolt went through Moro as he asked agitatedly, “You’ve really become the Lord of The Universe?”</p><p>The gray skeleton stared at Meng Lei as well.</p><p>“Haha!”</p><p>Meng Lei did not answer. Instead, he changed the Universal Order casually.</p><p>Boom!</p><p>The intensity in the aura of the gray skeleton and Moro skyrocketed until they stopped at the level of Supreme Gods.</p><p>“R-restored?” The gray skeleton was shocked. “I’ve returned to my peak level?”</p><p>“I’ve… I’ve recovered too?”</p><p>Moro was stunned as well.</p><p>“Did you change the Universal Order?”</p><p>The gray skeleton looked toward Meng Lei with an agitated look.</p><p>“Indeed!”</p><p>Meng Lei nodded slightly. “I’ve adjusted the Universal Order. From now onward, you can cultivate like any other normal lifeform without any worries of the suppression by the Universal Order.”</p><p>“I…”</p><p>The gray skeleton was overflowing with gratitude, which turned into just two words. “Thank you!”</p><p>“Work hard in your cultivation then.” Meng Lei smiled faintly. “From now on, the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process will never happen again, meaning no more transitions into new eras. You’ll have enough time to cultivate yourselves.”</p><p>“Absolutely!”</p><p>The gray skeleton nodded heavily.</p><p>“Thank you, Meng Lei!” Moro said emotionally.</p><p>“Moro!” Meng Lei smiled. “You need to work hard to cultivate and try to become a Primordial Genesis God one day as well. You know, it’s crowded outside this universe!”</p><p>“You can see beyond the universe?”</p><p>Moro’s eyes lit up.</p><p>“I can’t see them, but I can sense them,” Meng Lei gazed at the sky. “I can sense a larger, more prosperous world beyond our universe. Plus, somewhere much further away from here exist three beings as powerful as me right now!”</p><p>“T-three Primordial World Genesis Gods!?”</p><p>…</p><p>—THE END—</p>
