《Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies 》Chapter 212: Imperial Law of Spacetime
Advertisement
"Three years…" Yan Zaizen felt a sensation of odd bewilderment. When he was opening the gate, it felt like a minute or two, but three whole years had passed. For three years, his body was dead, his soul was inactive, and his three abnormal senses were away.
It felt surreal.
"You need to reprioritize your agenda," Pinaka stated softly. After Yan Zaizen ascended to the Gate of Sky Opening, his body was slowly adjusting. Until it properly acclimatized to his new limitations, it's difficult to shatter the second gate. Therefore, she suggested a rearrangement of cultivation goals.
"..." When he heard Pinaka's words, a formless pressure enveloped his existence. It reminded him that others may be after him for this token. If that's the case, every second had to count. Tao and Bai Lufeng were taking similar actions, improving their cultivation bases.
"Essence Path is too difficult to progress in," his tone was helpless and filled with frustration.
"But you need to do it. Even if you focus on laws, your cultivation base is too weak to utilize it." Her reminder caused Yan Zaizen's expression to grow unsightly. He recalled all the times his cultivation base formed a hindrance.
"What if I cultivated a new law?" Yan Zaizen suddenly mentioned, "a fusion of laws!" He felt slightly excited at this prospect. In his breakthrough in Grux, he recalled that laws can be fused into a new, greater law.
"If you can, then do it." Pinaka left him with those words and went silent. It seemed she was awaiting Yan Zaizen's results. In truth, she wanted to test and see if Yan Zaizen can truly produce a conceptual law fused from two or more World Laws. If possible, it'll become an Imperial Law!
If this Imperial Law reached the minor-Manifestation level, then wouldn't he build an absolutely soul-stirring heavenly altar?! Not to mention, the two World Laws would be far, far stronger when used through this newly developed fusion concept.
In the myriad realms, the number of people that focus on Imperial Laws was nearly non-existent. Only after they reached their peak bottleneck would they attempt to fuse concepts for a slightly stronger power.
The main reason for this lack of Imperial Heavenly Genesis cultivators was time. Even World Laws were far too complex to deal with, let alone Imperial Laws, not to mention an Imperial Law fused from two concepts!!
One could clearly see the difference between the two from Yan Zaizen's Archery of Pure Destruction and Xiantu Yu's cultivation deviation incident. Even a Mortal and World law combination were several dozen times harder than just a single World Law.
"Hmph," he softly snorted. Pinaka's attitude obviously meant she didn't have complete faith in his ability. He may be a non-entity, but even he understood the difficulty in this method. At first, he was going to attempt at fusing Life, Death, and Soul. However, he realized that doing so may lead to an even greater level of difficulty. Since this was his true first attempt, he threw the idea away.
He decided to merge two laws together - the World Law of Space and Time.
He returned to the ship and sat down in the lotus position. His breathing stabilized in a unique and calming rhythm. The world of chaotic space seemed to reverberate slightly.

"Chaotic space is a world that stabilizes the myriad realms. It contains the endless stability of space that allowed nothing else and the erratic instability of the flow of time. One law of two opposite concepts. Inversely, the space of the world has weak instability and contains a myriad of all things but consistent time flow." He pondered the unique circumstances of his laws. He understood his direction of fusion. Essentially, he comprehended the two core aspects of chaotic space.
The other side of this spectrum was the space in the outside world. This world was without life or variation but the other world contained limitless life and countless variation. In both time and space, it was two sides of the same coin.
He lifted his right palm, a silver spatial form that resembled himself emerged. He lifted his left palm, a dark-grey wind surged chaotically within as if it was eternally changing.
"Haaa…" He exhaled softly. The two concepts within his soul trembled. He directly brought them outside his soul. They radiated an initial-Domain level of insight. Slowly, Yan Zaizen directed them to merge with his formulated avatars.
The concepts in his soul quickly replaced them, their powers growing stronger and stronger with each passing second.
"Spatial Form of Infinite Stability. Hold all space together, allow nothing else to disturb the foundation!" He recited in his heart. The silver figure got into a lotus position and radiated brilliant silver light.
"Temporal Wind of Eternal Change. Time flows without definition or restriction. Free, true, and proper!" The dark-grey wind spiraled into a twister that kept growing larger and smaller, expanding outwards and contracting.
"Fuse!" Carefully, he brought the two concepts together. He understood the dangers of doing this, but this was the method his instincts informed him to do. Creating a new concept would be improper! He needed to fuse or else he would never reach a proper level! This was his instincts, and they were right!
Mastering the foundational concepts and merging them left for a better foundation for further developments, especially for Imperial Laws formed from two or more World Laws. After all, Imperial Laws were thousands of times more difficult to comprehend.
The two conceptual laws were slowly brought together. As they did, chaotic space underwent slight changes. The dark-grey winds gathered around Yan Zaizen. The ripping force of chaotic space did so as well, but they lingered in a compressed from just an inch away from his skin.
The realmship seemed immune to these events. They were purely focused on Yan Zaizen's body. If that ripping force actually touched Yan Zaizen at this point, even though his body was thoroughly refined, he would still suffer severe injuries.
"MERGE!" With a thunderous shout filled with Imperialistic flavor, Yan Zaizen demanded! The concepts seemed to respond, quivering slightly in both fear and excitement!
A flash of bright, tyrannical dark-amber light surged outwards from his gaze. His Mortal Dao stabilized his focus and soul. At the moment, he was truly at his peak state mentally!
The two concepts slowly closed in, a trace of silver and dark-grey essence collided viciously. Despite no true wind existing in chaotic space, Yan Zaizen's clothes and hair fluttered as if in turbulent wind.

They continued to collide like two beams of fierce energy. They seemed reluctant to fuse but they trembled with deep excitement as if nearing what makes them a complete whole!
As Yan Zaizen continued, he reached a spot just an inch between. However, no matter how much he tried, that last inch seemed impossible. Between the two, grey space was birthed. It contained infinite changes but eternal stability!
"Come on!" He urged with a snarl.
A soft whisper seemed to touch upon his ears. The chaotic space seemed to be in resonance, its very existence communicating with Yan Zaizen's eighth sense. Startled, Yan Zaizen felt lost in the heavenly world.
His eyes turned blank, filled with grey emptiness. It contained endless changes and peak stability.
Before long, Yan Zaizen found himself in an area. However, this area was vastly different than the normal Heavenly Domain he was familiar with. This domain was vaster and seemed to contain everything beneath the heavens but also contained very little.
His senses felt a calling from the distance. This distance seemed to be from a similar distance of the Deluge Realm and Sirius Titan Realm. Perhaps even greater! Yet, it seemed to be as short as an inch away.
"This...what is this?" He looked around with his sense. "The Heavenly Domain has a myriad of different laws and concepts, nearly limitless! Yet…" He felt that this domain contained similar but only a few, very limited set.
"Imperial Heavenly Domain? The domain above World and Mortal Laws? Wait…" Yan Zaizen had a crazy thought. What if the Heavenly Domain was divided into three layers? Mortal, World, and Imperial? Was that why classification was so clear? No one debated or argued if something was Mortal, World, or Imperial Law.
It was as if it was decreed by the heavens themselves!
This discovery left him with a sensation of excitement. He turned towards the calling whisper. A movement towards it sent him an inestimable distance. Before he could even blink, he was before a specific section of this Imperial Heavenly Domain. It was lifeless, faint ripping force and filled with chaotic time-flow.
"Law of Spacetime? Realm of Chaotic Space?" His mind trembled as he received faint information about this concept! Chaotic space! Realm?!
This grey space entered his existence. It transformed into a form, a unique form. It was him! However, it was odd!!
This form had a brain and skin! Yes! A translucent grey skin with a black, endless and empty outline of his brain!!! On his skin was a darker grey and it circulated like wind-like curse marks. It continued to rotate around the form without end, always growing smaller and bigger without consistency.
His existence shivered as he was sent back to his body. His blank eyes now seemed to contain an endless realm! Anyone who looked at him in the eyes would lose themselves and feel their very existence being ripped apart.
"Haaa…" A deep breath later and his mind cleared. He checked his soul form to notice that the dark-grey wind and silver figure no longer existed. Instead, a single translucent grey figure with dark-grey curse marks and black brain resided.
"You did it…" Pinaka said, her voice filled with utter disbelief. Fusing a concept was beyond difficult, let alone fusing two World Laws into an Imperial Law!!
"Non-Entity…" she softly remarked. Fusing was much more difficult than comprehending alone but left a weak foundation, but Yan Zaizen now had a decent foundation and a mind without taint to perceive the heavens.
"You're impressed?" Chuckling, he analyzed the form once more. He realized that the concept was at the perfect-Force level. Was this what it meant as having a proper foundation?
He waved his hand, chaotic space spiraled under his command. The time deceleration and space's ripping force increased by a hundred-fold.
"Oh?" Yan Zaizen felt shocked by his new-found control of chaotic space, but what really startled him was a sensation of being looked at. His eyes narrowed to slits and radiated tyrannical ferocity. Slowly, he calmed down.
"There are Heavenly Commanders peering into chaotic space! They're watching you!" Pinaka exclaimed with a tinge of fear. As a Spirit Armament who belonged to someone who interacted with Heavenly Commanders, she was quite familiar with their aura. However, she couldn't sense it before or even now.
Only when her owner sensed their gazes did she.
After Yan Zaizen comprehended chaotic space, he and it was the same. Anyone looking into it or within it would be immediately sensed by him, regardless of their cultivation base.
"What?" Yan Zaizen was truly shocked! Did that mean they saw his cultivation?
Sensing his worries, Pinaka calmed down and inspected the situation more thoroughly from Yan Zaizen's new-found chaotic space perception. "They don't seem like they're too honed onto your activities. Otherwise, even I would've noticed. It's like they're just connecting to your aura and general location. It's probably due to the distorted time-flow of chaotic space that they can't take it further…" She analyzed and explained.
This brought Yan Zaizen some relief. After all, he had far too many secrets on his body. Hell, even his body as a Non-Entity was a secret.
"It seems Tao was right, if they're keeping track of us, it's because of this token. They likely don't wish for us to leave the realm." He felt that Tao's intelligence despite his low cultivation was astounding. His first thought was to sit still and cultivate in this space. If it wasn't for his instincts and Tao's advice, he would've attempted to depart.
Perhaps these Heavenly Commanders would've taken action and captured him as a result. That would've been unfavorable. He had little confidence to defeat someone at the seventh-floor or above.
"For now, let's continue your cultivation," Pinaka suggested. They couldn't leave without being targeted or depart from this realm without being stopped. It wouldn't be hard for Heavenly Commanders to rip open a path into chaotic space. However, they haven't. They should use all this available time to enhance their strength.
"Mhm," he agreed. At the moment, they lacked information and advantage of position. The only choice left was to get stronger! Else...they may not be able to determine their life or death in the future.

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.
