Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 651: Chapter 648 Enlightenment!

”Dragon Mountain Law, shatter the illusions, suppress!” Song Yi roared.

”Hum~”

The giant mountain let out a humming sound. At Song Yi’s gesture, the size of the mountain expanded again, instantly covering the sky above everyone, as if blocking out the entire sky.

An astonishing pressure spread out from the mountain, even Ling Xiao and Guyue of the Giant Man Island had solemn expressions. Clearly, the Dragon Mountain Law was putting tremendous pressure on them.

Su Han, under the Dragon Mountain Law, stood right at the center, where the pressure intensified the most due to Song Yi’s manipulation.

”Is this what you call the Dragon Mountain Law? Is this what you call shattering illusions? It’s rather amusing, calling any level of law as shattering illusions!”

Su Han’s mocking laugh echoed, his figure unmoved, as if the pressure had no effect on him whatsoever.

”Moreover... what you have isn’t even a law, but merely a projection of a law. If you live long enough to reach the Dragon Emperor Realm, then come talk to me about laws!”

”If I reached the Dragon Emperor Realm, I would be able to kill you instantly!” Song Yi huffed coldly.

”Unfortunately, you are not,” Su Han gently shook his head.

”And how does it matter? It’s enough to kill you!”

Song Yi suddenly swung his hand, and beneath that immense pressure, the Dragon Mountain Law thunderously pressed down towards the ground.

This was going to crush Su Han to death!

Su Han’s expression remained calm. As he looked up at the pressing law, he pondered for a moment, suddenly looked towards Song Yi, and revealed a smile.

”Song Yi, do you even know what a law truly is?”

Song Yi was taken aback, the Dragon Mountain Law paused at that moment. Even in that instant, Song Yi’s eyes revealed a confused look, which quickly recovered.

”Law? It’s just a name, just a realm for cultivators’ progression. In fact, what difference does it have from Dragon Power!” Song Yi said.

”This is the first time I’ve heard someone describe the law in such a way. With this level of insight, I see you’ll never reach the Dragon Emperor Realm!” Su Han was astounded.

He was genuinely astounded. It was rare for someone to elicit such an expression from him, and Song Yi was one of them.

In his previous life, Su Han had heard numerous interpretations of laws, but it was the first time he heard someone believe that laws were not truly laws but merely a realm.

This was a twisted theory of laws because laws are not simply realms. Dragon Emperor Realm and Dragon Venerate Realm could indeed be regarded as realms, whereas laws, as Song Yi mentioned, might seem like Dragon Power. However, in reality, Dragon Power is tangible, whereas laws are illusory; the two cannot be spoken of as if they are the same.

”Nonsense!”

Upon hearing Su Han’s words, Song Yi’s face suddenly twisted into a ferocious snarl.

The Dragon Emperor Realm was his lifelong aspiration; he dared not dream of the peak Dragon Venerate Realm because no one in the Dragon Martial Continent had currently reached it.

Su Han’s words struck at the heart, pointing directly at his true feelings.

Beyond doubt, Song Yi was aware that only by understanding the law could he advance to Dragon Emperor, but his view of the law was too vague, with no clear path ever appearing.

What he had previously stated was indeed what he thought and was exactly the path he was currently pursuing.

Su Han’s statement distorted Song Yi’s understanding of the law, something he naturally wouldn’t believe!

He felt Su Han was influencing, even destroying, his path!

So, he stopped attacking, he cursed Su Han, and he also wanted to see what understanding Su Han truly had of the Law.

”The Law is nothing but an illusion. Who has ever really seen it?”

Song Yi stared at Su Han, his eyes somewhat red. He had been immersed in the Peak of the Dragon God Realm for many years, and if he couldn’t break through, he might really run out of lifespan and age like this.

”It’s just a name, after all. I can call it the Law, but I could also call it nonsense!” Song Yi said again.

Su Han was startled, and suddenly a bit of enlightenment appeared in his mind.

All along, both in his past life and this life, Su Han had regarded the Law as a Holy Artifact, holding it in high respect.

Even having reached the status of the Sovereign of the Holy Domain, it was still the same.

But now, hearing Song Yi’s words, Su Han suddenly doubted his own path.

It was not the path of cultivation he questioned, but the path that held the Law in high regard.

”It can be called the Law, or it can be called nonsense...”

”Yes, all along, I have been following the thought of the Law, discerning it, even though I was already extremely strong in my past life, I was still contemplating the Law, but actually... what is the Law?”

”The Law... is Destiny!”

”The so-called breakthrough of destiny is to no longer let oneself be bound by the heavens and earth.”

”When I look up, the sky cannot block my view, and what I should see should be more than just the sky!”

”When I look down, the earth cannot block my soul, and what I can feel is definitely more than just the soil!”

”Destiny is the Law. If you want to break through destiny, you should not deduce from the Law, but... directly plunder it!”

”If I always follow the thoughts of the Law, I will ultimately not escape the bonds of destiny. The more I cultivate, the more shackles bind me. This enlightenment seems to have already formed a cause and effect. I want to possess tremendous strength, so I must rely on the Law.”

”Not just me, everyone is like this!”

Su Han’s eyes gleamed, ”If I always rely on the Law given by this universe, what if one day, the Law suddenly disappears? What should I do? What about the others? Our strength will be directly plundered, and all we can have is everything before we discerned the Law, like right now!”

”The so-called breakthrough of destiny, I originally thought it was very complex, that is, when the strength reaches a limit, a peak, stepping out of the Milky Way Starry Sky is a breakthrough of destiny, but now it seems... this is not a breakthrough of destiny, but merely a breakthrough of one’s own limits!”

”If one day, I really step out of the Milky Way Starry Sky, but the power I wield is still the Law given by this universe, then I... am still just a puppet under the Law!”

The light in Su Han’s eyes grew brighter, and even faintly tangible, like two stars, shaking everyone present.

”Only by seizing this Law, forcibly plundering it and imprinting it in the soul, that is the true breakthrough of destiny!”

”If it really is so, then even if the universe is destroyed, I, will still have the strength to protect myself.”

”Hahaha...”

Su Han suddenly burst out laughing, ”Wrong, everything before was wrong!”

”I have always treated destiny as a person, thinking that when my cultivation reaches its limit, I can defeat it, but actually...”

”This destiny exists at all times, and I... can break through at any moment!”
