From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

A voice suddenly rang out.

”Profound Destruction Dominator!”

Hearing this, Li Yang was shocked. ’This space was actually left behind by a Dominator?’

But even Emperors lacked Sacred Artifacts. He figured only a powerhouse at the Dominator level would have a spare Sacred Artifact to leave behind specifically to test future generations.

”Cultivated for no more than fifty years, a perfect soul, and comprehension of at least three laws... Li Yang, you happen to meet all the criteria, which is why you were pulled into this space.”

Soul Ink now understood as well. ”No wonder the Sacred Artifact is still here after all this time,” he said.

Over countless years, who knows how many geniuses or powerhouses had entered this place. He had previously wondered why Li Yang was pulled into this space the moment he appeared.

’Have others entered before?’

’If they had, news of this place would have likely spread long ago.’

If the Human Race discovered this place, regardless of whether the Profound Destruction Dominator had set up a trial, this Sacred Artifact would absolutely not have remained here!

The power of the Human Race was strong beyond imagination!

In the entire Cosmos, only the Demon Race could truly contend with the Human Race! No matter how powerful other races were, they were still a notch below the humans.

Li Yang said nothing, his eyes fixed on what was before him.

After the voice faded, a spear skill materialized before his very eyes.

The spear skill was demonstrated very slowly, but in Li Yang’s eyes, it rippled with the fluctuations of laws. He easily sensed the undulations of the Fire Element, space, and Thunder Law!

He had a feeling that this was only because he had comprehended these three laws. If he had grasped a fourth, he was certain the spear skill would display that fourth law as well!

The single spear skill was endlessly versatile, seemingly capable of accommodating any law. It demonstrated itself for three minutes, then began the cycle anew.

’This spear skill...’ He watched, his eyes filled with shock.

He majored in the Hexagram Spear, so he was very knowledgeable about spear skills.

In his perception, the first move of this spear skill was countless times more complex than the Hexagram Spear!

Just the first move seemed more difficult than the first through sixth moves of the Hexagram Spear combined!

’I have to learn the first move to claim this Sacred Artifact? And to leave this space?’ Li Yang recalled the voice’s words and couldn’t help but ask, ”How long will it take me to learn it?”

He felt that it would probably take him at least several decades to learn the first move of this spear skill.

Only a few decades had passed since the day he was born.

”Li Yang, this is a grand opportunity that even Emperors would have trouble encountering. You can obtain a Sacred Artifact just by spending a few decades learning the first move of an attack created by a Dominator-level being, and you’re complaining that it’s too long?” Hearing Li Yang’s words, Soul Ink was a bit speechless.

In his view, even staying here for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years would be completely worth it!

Time meant little to a Cultivator, but a Sacred Artifact was something a Cultivator might never encounter in their long life.

”I know.” Li Yang took a deep breath and immediately banished the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

’Time to start learning!’

He wasted no time and immediately sat down cross-legged.

Although it was difficult to learn, the spear skill was clearly in a state of constant demonstration.

Li Yang just watched as his consciousness seemed to merge with it. After viewing it a few times, he felt the extraordinariness of this spear skill even more deeply.

The endlessly repeating spear skill seemed to contain the fundamental principles of the heavens and earth, embodying the profound skills of numerous laws!

The Teleportation Profound Skill, the Melting Essence Profound Skill, the Explosive Burst Profound Skill... these were just some of the skills fused into this spear art.

To encompass all the principles of law, to accommodate all the profound skills of law... at this moment, this was what Li Yang felt.

And as he watched, Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast clone, Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone, and Thunder Star Beast clone were also cultivating.

As he watched this spear skill that seemed to encompass the fundamental principles of the Cosmos, Li Yang felt the rate of his progress in his three great laws skyrocket!

He had previously chosen the Hexagram Spear to comprehend laws faster.

Laws were the theory, and the Hexagram Spear was the practical application. Frequent practice naturally made it easier to learn the theory.

But now, this Destruction Spear Skill left by the Profound Destruction Dominator felt to Li Yang as if the practical application had suddenly become several times smoother!

And at the same time, the comprehension speed for the several laws he was currently grasping rose by another level!

One must understand that Li Yang’s rate of progress in his various laws had already reached an astonishing level! For it to skyrocket again now was simply a miracle!

’Comprehend! Comprehend!’

A look of excitement was clearly visible in Li Yang’s eyes as he threw his entire being into it.

’A moment ago he was complaining about the time, and now he’s dived in so quickly?’ Inside the Soul Crystal, Soul Ink mumbled as he watched Li Yang comprehending the spear skill.

’Hmph. Saying one thing and doing another.’

After muttering to himself, Soul Ink also pondered the name Xuan Mie.

’Profound Destruction Dominator? Does the Human Race have such a Dominator?’

As far as he knew, there didn’t seem to be a Dominator in the Human Race named Profound Destruction.

But if not, how did this Profound Destruction manage to leave an opportunity here?

One must remember, this was the core territory of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall!

But he didn’t dwell on it for too long. It was possible that the Human Race had hidden Dominators.

’This Li Yang’s luck is truly heaven-defying.’ At this moment, Soul Ink couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

He had only been in the training grounds for ten days and had already stumbled upon an Opportunity Space containing a Sacred Artifact!

This opportunity before him would probably make even Emperor-level powerhouses ecstatic, yet it was encountered by a weakling at the Longevity Realm level like Li Yang.

...

Inside the Mysterious Space, Li Yang was continuously comprehending the spear skill, completely unaware of the events outside. He also didn’t know that this space left by the Dominator had even isolated him from his Token.

As time passed, news of Li Yang’s disappearance in the Lingyue World, and his suspected death, gradually began to spread.

The key point was that the Blade Slaughter Sect Master had previously gone to the Lingyue World and searched relentlessly. Anyone paying a little attention would know about this.

”Li Yang died in the Lingyue World?”

”That’s impossible, right? He only entered the Lingyue World a few days ago?”

”I don’t want to believe it either, but it’s basically confirmed. Blade Slaughter has been searching the Lingyue World for several days. If Li Yang were still alive, he would have been found by now.”

”This Li Yang just surpassed Lan Yu, passed the ninth step of the Path of Deities, and displayed peerless Talent, and he’s already fallen?”

...

Various powerhouses discussed the matter, feeling it was a great pity.

They, of course, hoped for the Human Race to have as many geniuses as possible and for those geniuses to grow up quickly.

And now, an incredibly heaven-defying genius had finally appeared, only to fall while his strength was still so weak.
