Chapter 367: 3 Years

The purple light from the Star Moon Stele signified top-tier talent in four Laws: Space, Time, Thunder, and Fire Element. In the future, Li Yang might quickly become a Four-Element Deity!

The magnitude of this threat was easy to imagine!

Previously, Li Yang’s threat to the Demon Race had been a notch below that of Mixed Void, but now, he had completely reached that level.

The more brilliantly Li Yang performed for the Human Race, the greater the threat he posed to the Demon Race!

"Yes, Lord Wilderness, we absolutely cannot let Li Yang live!" the demonic beast below replied hastily.

The purplish-black giant python mulled it over for a moment before saying, "Since we’ve confirmed Li Yang’s location, start formulating a plan. We’ll find the right time to strike!"

...

「Just one month after the Demon Race formulated their plan.」

SWISH!

In an extremely remote and desolate patch of starry sky, a figure appeared. Judging by the powerful aura he exuded, this was a mighty Tri-System Deity.

He had the face of a human and appeared normal, but a murderous intent flickered deep within his eyes.

’The higher-ups have given the order. The moment Li Yang leaves the Star Moon Race, I am to strike immediately, at any cost!’

This human might have been a member of the Demon Race in disguise, or perhaps he was being controlled by them. He had arrived with a single objective: to kill Li Yang!

’First, I’ll infiltrate the Star Moon Race and look for an opportunity!’

SWISH!

With another flicker, the newcomer’s figure vanished.

...

Li Yang was unaware that the Demon Race had already dispatched a powerhouse to ambush and kill him. He was still completely engrossed in his comprehension.

Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed!

Li Yang, who was in the midst of receiving the legacy transmission, suddenly felt his eyes light up.

’Am I about to master the Melting Essence Profound Skill of the Fire Element Law?’

His affinity for the Fire Element Law was at the innate Deity level.

His comprehension of the Fire Element Law was the deepest, and his rate of understanding was the fastest. Only the Time Law, which he had developed later, could boast a comparable rate of progress!

The Fire Element Law has four Profound Skills: Fire Domain, Fire Armor Body, Perpetual Flame, and Melting Essence. Of these four, he had been focusing on comprehending the Melting Essence Profound Skill.

Now, he had nearly mastered the Melting Essence Profound Skill; he was just a hair’s breadth away from full comprehension!

Li Yang didn’t find this final bottleneck difficult at all. He felt he could break through it in a few minutes at most.

’These legacy grounds are truly something else,’ Li Yang thought joyfully.

Under normal cultivation, he estimated it would have taken him at least thirty years to comprehend the Melting Essence Profound Skill to this final stage.

But here, he had accomplished it in a mere two years! His rate of progress was astonishing!

’Since I’m about to master the Melting Essence Profound Skill, I’ll hold off on breaking through for now and switch to another Fire Element Profound Skill!’

Li Yang had no intention of continuing his comprehension to fully master the Melting Essence Profound Skill just yet.

He was currently in the Star Lord Realm and still within the training period sponsored by the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall.

If he were to fully comprehend the Melting Essence Profound Skill, he would become a World Master.

Once he became a World Master, the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall would no longer provide resources for his training, and he would be on his own. Was Li Yang stupid enough to break through now?

If he broke through, opportunities like entering the Star Moon Race’s legacy grounds would certainly no longer be available to him.

Therefore, holding off on the breakthrough and first comprehending the other Profound Skills of the Fire Element Law was the best course of action.

He could take his time to bring all four Profound Skills of the Fire Element Law to the final step of comprehension before making his breakthrough.

There were indeed geniuses in the Human Race who had done this. During the thousand-year training period for the Star Lord Realm, they would comprehend all four Profound Skills of a single Law to the final step before breaking through to become a World Master.

Then, in an extremely short amount of time, they would break through again to become Deities!

With that in mind, Li Yang quickly made his decision.

’Next, I’ll focus on comprehending the Fire Armor Body Profound Skill of the Fire Element Law!’

He clenched his right fist, and a black fruit appeared in his hand, emitting faint wisps of dark light.

It was a Soul Sun Fruit!

Li Yang’s rate of progress was incredibly fast, thanks in part to his four high-level avatars all comprehending simultaneously. This method was quick, but it placed an immense burden on his soul.

After all, it was his soul that had to endure the constant infusion of knowledge from these legacy grounds.

In these two years, Li Yang had already consumed seven Soul Sun Fruits!

Each Soul Sun Fruit cost 30,000 contribution points to redeem from the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, an exorbitant price!

However, this was no time to be frugal with Soul Sun Fruits. Here, in this land of Laws, any number of them would be well spent!

As he switched the Profound Skill he was focusing on, the infusion from the legacy grounds changed immediately to match.

Although he had only just begun to comprehend the Fire Armor Body Profound Skill—one of the four Profound Skills of the Fire Element Law—his rate of progress was already skyrocketing!

...

Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, another year went by.

Within the legacy grounds, Li Yang continued his comprehension, feeling his mastery of the Laws advancing at a rapid pace!

This wasn’t like comprehending on his own. If he were studying by himself, it would be easy to hit a bottleneck, which would slow down his progress.

But these legacy grounds infused the Laws directly into his mind. To put it simply, it was like the information was being crammed into his head whether he understood it or not. Therefore, even areas of confusion or potential bottlenecks were swiftly bypassed, allowing his rapid progress to continue unimpeded!

As he was deep in comprehension...

"Hm?"

Li Yang suddenly paused. He could feel that the infusion of Law had stopped, and the legacy grounds were no longer active.

’Is it shutting down?’ Li Yang wondered.

WHOOSH!

The instant that thought crossed his mind, his body flickered, and he was teleported away.

When he reappeared, Li Yang found himself outside the palace.

"Li Yang." "Young Master Li Yang."

Outside the palace, Hei Xu and Elder Lie Shu were waiting. When they saw Li Yang appear, they both walked over.

"Haha, after three years, I imagine Young Master Li Yang’s strength has improved by leaps and bounds," Elder Lie Shu said with a smile, looking at Li Yang.

He mused to himself, ’Most people only last a year in our clan’s legacy grounds. Only three have ever lasted for two years, and Li Yang is the first to ever stay for three.’

Even a single year in the legacy transmission is a massive opportunity! With Li Yang’s already formidable talent, his progress after three years is surely unimaginable!

Hearing Elder Lie Shu’s words, Li Yang smiled. "It went well."

His gaze shifted to the nearby palace, a clear hint of reluctance flashing in the depths of his eyes.

’If these legacy grounds had remained open for another decade or so, I might have even broken through to the Divine Realm!’

He had made immense progress in those three years.

Take the Fire Element Law, for instance. He could now fully master the Melting Essence Profound Skill whenever he chose! As for the Fire Armor Body Profound Skill, even though he only started on it a year ago, that one year in the legacy grounds had brought his comprehension of it to nearly one-third complete!

Furthermore, for his Space Law, Thunder Law, and even the Time Law that he had only recently started comprehending, he had already grasped more than half of one of their respective Profound Skills. He estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he could bring those to the brink of full mastery as well!
