197: Holding the battlefield, the laws of heaven

Ye Ming tested it himself and discovered that it would take over seven hundred years to complete one Law root, and that amount of cultivation was only enough for him to complete two.

If he wanted to step into the Heavenly Immortal realm, it wouldn't be possible without more than a decade.

Ye Ming shook his head secretly, feeling dissatisfied with his cultivation progress; it was too slow.

If things continued like this, everything he wanted to accomplish would take over a hundred years to finish.

But well, these were minor matters!

Having thought of this, Ye Ming took out a jade bottle. A round Immortal Pill exuding immortal light was poured out, and he gulped it down in one go.

The Immortal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth. A vast amount of medicinal power flowed through his body, eventually being guided into his three Dantians—upper, middle, and lower—while the rest flowed to various parts of his body to be absorbed.

In the end, Ye Ming's aura only rose a little, equivalent to the result of a year of cultivation, but it was still better than bitter cultivation.

This was a Low Grade Immortal Pill he had signed in for the previous year. It could increase cultivation, and the System didn't give many—just one hundred bottles.

There were ten pills per bottle, making it about one thousand pills in total.

Although it seemed like a lot, with his current cultivation, he could only take two pills a day; eating too many at once would make them impossible to digest.

Usually, eating too many Medicinal Pills would create immunity to their medicinal power, and it was the same for Immortal Pills, but the pills provided by the System would not cause immunity.

This was also why the System gave him one hundred bottles at once.

With these Immortal Pills, perhaps he wouldn't need over a decade to step into the Heavenly Immortal realm.

After finishing the Immortal Pill, Ye Ming turned his head to look through the Immortal Palace toward a certain place in the Universe, and then his figure slowly disappeared from the Immortal Palace.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ming had arrived in the starry sky above the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.

Looking at the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, which was as large as five hundred Spirit Realms, Ye Ming reached out his palm and grabbed toward this continent.

He was going to implement his plan!

Meanwhile, inside the battlefield, all living beings, Immortal Beasts, and so on felt a powerful pressure spreading down from the sky.

Countless eyes looked blankly at the sky that had suddenly turned dark.

It wasn't nightfall; it was a giant hand!

The giant hand almost covered the entire Immortal-Demon Battlefield, causing the whole world to dim.

The terrifying aura made all species dare not move; they could only lie on the ground, trembling, fearing that they would disturb the owner of the giant hand.

Even a single-eyed Immortal Beast at the Early Stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm could only obediently lower its head to show submission, not daring to act fierce.

Fortunately, Ye Ming did not intend to erase any of the living beings there; these beings carried the aura of the Immortal Realm and were one of the essential parts of his plan.

Soon, five fingers like pillars supporting the sky descended from above, avoiding the living beings and plunging directly into the ground.

Rumble~ A terrifying vibration spread across the entire battlefield in an instant. Massive mountains, rivers, ancient forests, and so on began to collapse, and the entire battlefield kicked up clouds of dust.

Countless Immortal Rank beings were covered by large swaths of stone, soil, and dust, but even so, these beings remained lying down without moving.

Seeing so much dust, Ye Ming frowned slightly. With a gentle shake of his palm, he instantly dissipated all the dust.

After doing this, the entire battlefield had quieted down, but many places had turned into ruins, and some weaker living beings had been crushed to death.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming utilized the Major Achievement level Law of Time.

The Law of Time instantly covered the entire battlefield. Just as Ye Ming intended to use time reversal to restore those ruined places to their original appearance, an unexpected thing happened.

Countless purple-gold chains extended from the Void Realm, and the dense chains instantly formed a large purple-gold net.

This large net covered the area beneath his Law, blocking his Law of Time outside.

"Dao-Grade Law!" Seeing the true form of the large net, Ye Ming was slightly startled. It was actually a Dao-Grade Law blocking him!

Dao-Grade Laws could only be comprehended by those above the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. Could it be...

Just as Ye Ming thought of a possibility, the System suddenly popped up, speaking for him and confirming his guess.

【As the Host thought, this is the Heavenly Dao Law of the Immortal Realm. The Host must have triggered the self-protection of this immortal land. The Heavenly Dao has records of all land belonging to the Immortal Realm; no matter which Universe it drifts to, the Heavenly Dao can sense it!】

【Of course, this is on the premise that it belongs to the Universe within this Land of Chaos. If it drifts out of this Land of Chaos, the Heavenly Dao cannot manage it; that falls under the jurisdiction of the Great Dao. However, this probability is impossible to happen, as the Land of Chaos is extremely large!】

"So that's how it is!" Ye Ming suddenly understood. The means of the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao were Dao-Grade Laws; without being an existence above the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, it was impossible to contend against it.

Ye Ming then developed doubts and asked the System: "System, what place is this Land of Chaos you speak of? Is the Immortal Realm not the end?"

【The Land of Chaos, the Host can also understand it as a more Advanced and infinitely large plane. The Universe where the Spirit Realm is located is just a small stone within the Land of Chaos. The Immortal Realm isn't much larger in the Land of Chaos; consider it a small hill!】

"It's that big!?" Ye Ming was slightly astonished, unable to imagine how large the entire Land of Chaos really was.

"Then are we in the Land of Chaos?" Ye Ming asked again.

【Yes, but at the edge, very far from the Land of Chaos, and there is only one way to get there.】

"What way?"

【The River of Time. The Host needs to walk to the end of the River of Time. The center of the Land of Chaos is there; that is the place the top existences of the Immortal Realm want to go to the most!】

After the System finished speaking, Ye Ming's expectant expression collapsed.

The River of Time, that was a place only existences at the Heavenly Dao level could go to. With his cultivation, going there would be seeking death.

Besides, whether he could find the River of Time was another matter.

Ye Ming immediately shook his head and said to the System: "Forget it, wouldn't my strength be pure suicide if I went to the River of Time? You'd better tell me how to resolve this Heavenly Dao Law!"

Ye Ming came back to his senses and looked at the large Law net below. What kind of Law was this? He couldn't tell.

【The Host can use the Annihilation Spear signed in two years ago, but after using it, this spear will probably be useless!】

"Annihilation Spear? Then forget it, let it be!"

Ye Ming shook his head slightly, rejecting this method. He also didn't intend to repair this battlefield; anyway, as long as there were no losses, it was fine.

It was just not very aesthetically pleasing. Although this would be his future Dao-field, compared to the Annihilation Spear, this bit of aesthetics didn't count for much.

The Annihilation Spear was something he had signed in while preaching two years ago. It was a one-time use Immortal Treasure, a top-grade one at that, and he had only signed in one.

The introduction mentioned that this Annihilation Spear could kill any Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and could even take down existences above the Grand Unity Golden Immortal with one spear strike, killing them directly!

This was his trump card. If he used it, he didn't know when he would be able to sign in for another one.

Moreover, too many accidents could happen in the world. If he used it today, what if the existence behind the scenes in the Immortal Realm came down the next day?

Fight with his head?

Better keep it, just in case!
