Chapter 582 - 580: Absolute Rule of the Eye Technique
Chapter 582: Chapter 580: Absolute Rule of the Eye Technique
After holding Su Qianyou for a while, Su Qing finally let go.
The dark purple marks on Su Qianyou’s body had already vanished from her arms. Some had even faded from her face. However, they had receded into spots, which arguably looked even more unsightly than before. Patches of fair, tender skin showed through where the marks had been, making her appearance all the more strange.
"Not bad. You’ve already reached the Eleventh Realm. To think you could cultivate this fast just by figuring it out on your own."
"I can’t even imagine how great your Talent is." Su Qing released Su Qianyou. After ruffling her hair again, he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. "The aptitude of a Demon."
"You can’t be judged by normal standards."
"I’m not a Demon," Su Qianyou retorted.
Su Qing laughed. "It’s just a figure of speech."
"Besides, if you’re a Demon, then what does that make me?"
"A Demon’s brother? A greater Demon?"
"I’m not stupid. Why would I insult myself like that?"
Su Qing chuckled.
"Brother, I’ve discovered another power inside my body, one that belongs to me."
"This power... it feels so comfortable." As Su Qianyou spoke, a ball of indescribable Pure Good Energy materialized in her hand.
Su Qing hadn’t even touched it, yet simply seeing the ball of Energy made him feel incredibly at ease.
It was like returning to a mother’s embrace.
Su Qing averted his gaze. "Alright, put it away now. You should learn to make good use of this power."
"She will be of great help to you."
’So this is the power of a Rule made manifest in a person?’ Su Qing was inwardly astonished. ’It’s truly formidable. Even a Thirteenth Realm Cultivator like myself, on the verge of Perfection, is affected by it. If Su Qianyou were to throw out a ball of Pure Good Energy during a fight... I’m afraid even a Thirteenth Realm expert would be distracted for a moment. And in battle, a moment of distraction is a fatal mistake, one that can easily cost you your life.’
"I know, Brother."
"Brother, I want to eat."
"No problem."
...
After eating and drinking her fill, a completely satisfied Su Qianyou immediately said, "Brother, I’m going to continue my Cultivation."
"Alright. But remember to rest. A balance of work and rest is the only way to make your Cultivation progress faster."
Su Qing nodded. He could only offer such advice, as Su Qianyou currently seemed determined to catch up to him.
But that was a difficult task.
Su Qianyou was improving, but so was Su Qing.
He glanced at his Skill Level, which was already approaching 590,000.
Su Qing knew that in less than four years, his Cultivation Technique would reach complete Perfection.
After Su Qianyou resumed her Cultivation, Su Qing was alone once more.
He began to perform an Inference with his fingers, wanting to know what kinds of challenges the Chaos World held for him.
He performed the Inference, and the Rule actually provided an answer.
[Chaos Creatures]
’Chaos Creatures?’
Su Qing raised an eyebrow. These were creatures he had never encountered.
He hadn’t seen any when he was in the Chaos before.
He carefully recalled what the Chaos had been like back then.
’No, that wasn’t the true Chaos. It was a Chaos World that had been occupied by the Star Sea, which is why no Chaos Creatures appeared. So, the threat back then was missing the Chaos Creatures, and yet the Breath of Chaos alone was enough to nearly break me.’
The more Su Qing thought about it, the more terrifying the Chaos Creatures seemed.
As he pondered this, he suddenly remembered that Su Qianyou could absorb the Breath of Chaos to cultivate.
’Although I haven’t witnessed it myself, the Master of Pure Goodness wouldn’t joke about something like that. But now, I’m not the least bit afraid of the Breath of Chaos. With Boundless, why should I fear Chaos Creatures? Unless they, too, possess an Absolute Rule.’
Su Qing was confident that even if Chaos Creatures did exist, he would not be afraid.
’I’ve already obtained a Standardized Escape Technique, all I’m missing is a Pupil Technique.’
That’s right, all he lacked was a Pupil Technique.
Su Qing placed the Great Dao Immortal Eye Technique into the Synthesizer.
He added a mass of intertwined energies of Time, Space, and causality into the Synthesizer as well.
...
In the beginning, the synthesis certainly didn’t produce the Absolute Rule Su Qing desired. Even when attributes like "zero consumption" appeared, he wouldn’t give them a second glance.
Because they were not Absolute Rules.
And so, he continuously fed energy masses related to space-time and causality into it.
Several months passed in synthesis.
Before he knew it, Su Qing suddenly thought of Quiet Step. It wasn’t really a stepping technique. It was more like a Rule; everything else simply followed in its wake.
Su Qing activated Quiet Step. His entire being became incomparably calm, his emotions no longer showing the slightest fluctuation.
He stared expressionlessly at the unknown Immortal Gaze technique in the Synthesizer. Faced with a dazzling array of possible Standardizations, Su Qing knew only one thing: he just had to keep synthesizing.
Everything else would follow.
There was no need for Su Qing to force the issue.
He just needed to synthesize and leave the rest to luck.
Perhaps it was the effect of Quiet Step, but gradually, the Rules he synthesized became more and more concentrated on those of time, space, and causality.
But another month also quietly slipped by.
[Eyes of the Cause of Annihilating Universe: Gaze upon all the myriad cosmoses; annihilate causality with a single thought.]
[Synthesis Available]
"Extract."
Su Qing didn’t hesitate. He extracted it immediately.
This was an Absolute Rule.
He knew because there were no other Rules listed after it.
That meant it was an Absolute Rule.
Moreover, Su Qing was currently in the state of Quiet Step. He didn’t need to think; every action he took was the most effective one for him.
As he absorbed the Eyes of the Cause of Annihilating Universe, Su Qing’s eyes began to change.
His pupils turned from black to white, then to a transparent color. Then, as the Eyes of the Cause of Annihilating Universe truly finished fusing with him, Su Qing’s eyes returned to normal.
Except the world he now saw was completely different.
With a single glance, Su Qing could see through the entire Star Sea World.
He also saw, within one of the Star Sea Space-Time Veins, the true Star Sea Tree.
It could no longer be considered a tree.
It was a state of being formed by all the Grand Thousand Veins woven together.
Within the main Space-Time Vein of the Star Sea, there was actually no Star Sea—only the manifestation of a Fourteenth Realm being.
Su Qing could now observe this being without any negative repercussions.
And, incredibly, the being was completely unaware of his observation.
’This is incredible.’
Su Qing also saw the true, complete form of the Chaos World.
At the edges of the Star Sea’s Space-Time Veins, countless, densely packed, twisted Chaos Creatures were relentlessly tearing at them.
The sight was beyond terrifying.
Those peripheral Space-Time Veins were devoured completely within seconds.
However, as soon as one was devoured, the Star Sea would generate a new Space-Time Vein to block the creatures’ assault.
’Is this the real Chaos World?’
[Chaos Guardian: Born from Chaos, to die in Chaos. Chaos is impermanence. In an instant, it can manifest myriad universes; in an instant, it can annihilate them. Chaos does not permit any permanent existence; for those who do not comply with the impermanence of Chaos, Guardians are born to eliminate the defiant.]
...
’So that’s how it is. This is why the Star Sea told me one must resist the Chaos Creatures to gain a foothold in the Grand Thousand. How terrifying. If I didn’t possess an Absolute Rule, I’m afraid it would be incredibly difficult to fend off these creatures. I’d also have to guard against them attacking me while I evolve my own Grand Thousand Veins.’
Su Qing imagined the scene.
’The world is not lacking in heroes and champions, nor is it lacking in true Demons and geniuses.’
Su Qing made a quick assessment.
If he didn’t have an Absolute Rule, he would likely suffer greatly and might even fail his breakthrough.
He might even have become a Chaos Residual Spirit.
’Truly terrifying. I had underestimated it all so much. I never expected the true Chaos World to be this horrifying.’
Su Qing continued to observe the Chaos World.
It was a completely new experience, a completely new world. Without these eyes, all he would have been able to see was an endless expanse of the Breath of Chaos.
But with these eyes, everything was different.
