He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 522.

Kailen felt an extremely familiar sensation to the law fragments hovering around him.

They were everywhere.

He couldn’t pinpoint how and why he had this "familiar" sensation. However, it was as if the fragments had an intrinsic connection to himself.

Kailen felt the same way during the painting lecture a few years ago in the Astral Empire Academy, especially that familiar connection he had felt to the living scene realm.

Was this because of the Time Dilation Artifact?

"It’s better to focus on one law. Trying to comprehend more than that will overwhelm you and slow down your growth in the future. Mastery is not about numbers, but about quality and understanding," the voice of the time dilation artifact said.

Kailen nodded in understanding.

The time dilation artifact nodded, ignoring his inner speculations about her. When the time was right to reveal more about herself, she would. For now, he was still too weak to make a difference even if he knew more.

"Focus on one you deeply resonate with compared to the others," the Time Dilation nodded.

Kailen focused on the one he deeply resonated with compared to the others.

Some sort of buzzy feeling clouded Kailen’s being all of a sudden after this.

Kailen found himself standing in a vast expanse of nothingness.

The whole place was completely empty and formless.

"Where am I?" Kailen muttered.

Kailen stayed in this place for an extremely long period of time. He didn’t know how long it had been—ages, millennials?

At the moment, Kailen was floating in the void.

He was observing everything in the vast formless expanse.

At this moment, something finally clicked in Kailen’s mind, due to his strong connection to the dao. It was as if the void was speaking to him, whispering something to him.

"Space? The law of space?" Kailen’s eyes gleamed.

"I see. Space is vast, infinite, formless, yet contains all things," Kailen muttered.

"It is the silent canvas upon which existence is painted. Without space, there is no distance, no separation and no meeting point. Without space, even time has nowhere to flow."

His gaze swept across the endless void.

"The void is not barren. It is tolerant. It allows all things to exist within it. Mountains, stars, beings, worlds... all are merely guests within space."

After this statement, Kailen seemed to have returned to the chamber.

Instinctively, Kailen felt a change happening in his body. It was as if he was in some sublimed state undergoing a metamorphosis.

He activated his elemental mirroring.

He started absorbing universe energy in an extremely absurd manner.

At this moment, Kailen was like some sort of vortex. With his elemental mirroring activated, he was absorbing universe energy at an extremely alarming pace in this sublime manner.

***

Outside the Dao Fragment tower, several Awakeners felt the universe energy in the environs had grown less heavier for some reason they could not ascertain.

Kailen was changing at an astonishing pace.

Kailen felt his whole being was undergoing some sort of metamorphosis at the moment.

Several months went by in a flash.

Kailen’s eyes flickered open in the Dao Fragment tower. His deep, dark, enigmatic eyes seemed like an endless abyss. It looked as if one was staring into space itself when they looked at him.

Kailen had become more handsome. He was still pale skinned, tall, athletic with a slim body. However, he exuded some sort of mysterious, yet dangerously calm grace.

Suddenly, something happened as a mysterious glint flickered in Kailen’s eyes.

The space around Kailen in the Dao Fragment Tower seemed to tear open and resume to normal in a flash.

Kailen nodded. He had comprehended the law of space. The use of the law would naturally get stronger and more powerful as he grew stronger.

Two elemental energies he didn’t have before manifested around him.

A small wooden palm print manifested around him.

Simultaneously, a small tornado of wind whirled in the room.

Then, Kailen decided to try out the law of space.

Kailen simply waved his hand.

After he waved his hand, a large tear in the surrounding space appeared.

At this moment, Kailen entered through the tear in space.

Outside the Dao Fragment Tower, several individuals were still crowded there.

They had sensed an extremely daunting energy for a moment. The energy was so powerful that they felt like the breath of whoever radiated that energy could kill them. However, the moment it appeared, it disappeared.

"Could it be that someone managed to break into the Dao level?"

"It is most likely either the Sect Master or Masteress."

"Yeah. After all, they have been in the Dao Fragment Tower for an extremely long time. If anyone has broken through to the Dao Level, it has to be them."

Several people in the crowd discussed with fervor and worship in their eyes. The Dao Level seemed extremely distant to most of them.

They wondered how it would feel to get to the dao level.

At this moment, an adolescent girl of about 12 years old could be seen standing in front of the pagoda.

This girl was naturally little Felicia. Currently, she was about 1.5 meters tall. Her features were maturing.

Felicia was waiting for Kailen. It had been a year since she saw her uncle. Now that he was out of seclusion, she wanted to meet him. When she got here, he had already entered the pagoda. Therefore, she decided to come here each day.

"I think Uncle Kailen is the one who broke into the Dao level."

At her words, many glanced at her and sighed.

"No one underestimates the fast cultivation speed of Excellency Darkhaven, little niece," a titan disciple said. "However, he has only been in the tower for several months. It’s simply impossible for him to have broken through to the Dao Level, when the Sect Master and Masteress have been there for decades and are yet to come out."

"Yeah, the most likely person to have broken into the Dao level could either be the Sect Master, Masteress or some of the powerhouses of the Sect in the pagoda."

"No doubt, Excellency Darkhaven will be out of the tower in let’s say a decade?"

"A decade is too soon. Even if he’s a Living Scene Painter and has strong connection to the dao, which gives him a higher advantage, that will be too soon."

Little Felicia fell silent at their discussions. However, she was confident with her words.

These people had forgotten that Uncle Kailen was not one to be judged with common sense. Even the standards used to measure geniuses was too low for him.

But they couldn’t be blamed. They were not looking down on him. From what she had read, the Dao level was not easy to get to.

One had to comprehend a law of the universe. She didn’t really understand what that meant. But the information she had read said that it was extremely difficult to master a law of the universe and that, sometimes, it took decades and even centuries for that to happen.

It was only natural that, despite uncle Kailen’s otherworldly abilities and achievements, they’d still think it would definitely not be him.

At this moment, as everyone waited for either the Sect Master or Masteress to come out, someone said something.

"What is that?"

Everyone looked above, near the pagoda.

Space seemed to be distorting.

A crack in space appeared. At first, it was small, barely noticeable.

Then, suddenly, the crack grew larger, barely the size of a human adult.

"Rank 1 beginner stage Dao level!"

"We were right. Someone actually broke through to the dao level?"

"Is it the Sect Master?"

"Possibly... it’s either him or the masteress!"

"I wonder what sort of law the person comprehended to break through to the dao level."

"Wait, the crack..."

"The crack... how is this possible? Could it be?"

"Don’t tell me, the law of space?"

"The person actually mastered the law of space?"

"Isn’t that some sort of myth?"

"How can someone comprehend the law of space?"

"According to records, is that not one of the most difficult laws in the universe to comprehend?"

"Yes, those who manage to comprehend the law of space are very rare in the universe and they become very terrifying powerhouses. They are very difficult to kill! This is because they can just create a tear in space and disappear if they cannot fight an enemy!"

"Also, the offensive abilities of the law of space is very terrifying!"

"Look, someone is coming out."

Then, a figure stepped out of the space tear.

Contrary to who most of them were expecting to see, a young man stepped out.

Smooth dark hair, pale white skin, enigmatic and abyss-like dark eyes that seemed like an endless void. Tall athletic build. He radiated an aura of mysterious, yet dangerously calm grace although he had restrained his rank 1 beginner stage Dao level aura. Everyone felt as if they were ants looking at a powerful being who could decide their life and death with just a single breath!

Mutters of awe, and whispers of shock and fear broke out!

"Excellency Kailen Darkhaven...?"

"How?"

"He broke through to the dao level in just several months?"

"Am I dreaming or something?"

"The universe is about to really experience a shake!"

"I have not been to a mid tier or a high tier civilisation before. However, I can confidently say that there definitely won’t be many geniuses of his caliber, even there!"

"What sort of person is this?"

"Sigh, it seems the little girl was right!"

"We were the ones who underestimated Excellency Darkhaven."

"Indeed..."

As the conversations rang chaotically across the place, Kailen spotted little Felicia and smiled.

Kailen headed towards her.

Meanwhile...
