Chapter 1039: Chapter 561: Entering the Deep Space Sea! Comprehending the Space Dao! (Part 2)

The void suddenly resonated with the grating noise of gears jamming.

The chest plate of the Mechanical Mother completely burst open, revealing the blood-colored cube at its core.

"Trying to leave?"

"Have you asked my singularity bomb?"

The cube suddenly unfolded into a four-dimensional form, forcibly collapsing the space-time within a thousand-mile radius into a singularity.

Jiang Shu’s Three Holy Embryos suddenly began to cry, Dao Rhymes rippling outward, dispersing the mechanical explosion, and their small hand grasping the closing chaos channel, forcibly pulling out a path to survival from the singularity. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The moment everyone’s figures disappeared, that piece of heaven and earth was compressed into a two-dimensional plane.

Chaos tides erupted from the bottom of the Abyss, and the Teleportation Token hanging at Jiang Shu’s waist suddenly burst with dazzling starry light.

He glimpsed in the distance as the metal Divine Country of the Mechanical Mother was torn into fragments by the frenzied Zhan Feng with one axe, and Bei Jue’s Heavenly Snake True Spirit appeared faintly in the Thunder Layer, but all perceptions were instantly distorted into bizarre patches of color.

"The array is formed!"

Zhan Feng’s roar pierced through layers of space folds, and Jiang Shu saw the Bronze Battle Axe cleave two parallel space-times.

The figures of the War Alliance siblings gradually faded in the blood-colored star trail, the Panwu Battle Blood entwining them burning eternal scars into the space layer.

Jiang Shu’s knuckles gripping the token turned white, the Taichu Law reversed its flow up his palm.

Grayish mist wove into a cocoon around him, clearly revealing the "Returning Ruins" characters on the token’s surface decomposing into ninety-six thousand coordinate runes.

Each rune resonated with a place in the Deep Space Sea, akin to billions of stars lighting up and extinguishing simultaneously.

"Zizz..."

The electronic hum of mechanical civilization suddenly pierced the eardrum.

The space to Jiang Shu’s left suddenly collapsed into hexagon crystal grids, the liquid metal body of the Mechanical Mother constantly restructuring within.

Her pupils flickered with an overclocked blue light, the cannon on her chest analyzing the space structure.

"Recalibrating..."

Jiang Shu’s Chaos Thunder Pool suddenly boiled, and Thunder Liquid condensed autonomously into a Flood Dragon.

The central head opened its mouth to shatter the metal tentacles attempting to infiltrate, while the other two heads respectively spewed the Taichu Law and Devouring Law, twisting the data stream of the Mechanical Clan into garbled symbols.

"Jiang Shu, see you again."

In the instant the synthesized metallic voice dissipated, Jiang Shu’s cocoon-like shield was suddenly wrenched into the deep void by a tremendous force.

He felt like he was passing through a myriad of overlapping mirror-like spaces, each reflecting battlefield fragments of different times and spaces.

Jian Changge’s Broken Sword was dripping black blood in one mirror, while the tail feathers of a Phoenix Clan prodigy were burning Nirvana Fire Marks in another...

Space turbulence suddenly materialized into entities.

Jiang Shu saw Bei Jue’s long hair flying wildly in a dimension rift a hundred meters away, the petrification law of the Heavenly Snake True Spirit freezing large swathes of chaotic qi flow.

Those petrified space fragments floated like a meteor belt but maintained absolute distance from his teleportation trajectory.

"So each teleportation token has its own anchor point."

The Three Holy Embryos beside Jiang Shu suddenly extended a small hand, grasping three strands of escaping gravity law.

He immediately realized those figures that seemed within reach were actually separated by countless layers of folded space-time.

The coordinates activated by the teleportation token were like precise gears, ensuring that each prodigy’s trajectory never intersected.

The right side of the void suddenly lit up with bronze starry light.

Zhan Yun’s Beast-faced Giant Shield appeared and disappeared in space turbulence, the Panwu Heaven Opening Creation Map on the shield surface absorbing the energy of the turbulence.

Jiang Shu noticed her hair tips were carbonizing, evidently the siblings were enduring the teleportation pressure with battle blood.

"Take care."

Jiang Shu silently mouthed his blessing, as the Desolate Star Halberd suddenly trembled autonomously.

The halberd tip pointed at a space-time node about to collapse, pushing him toward a completely opposite dimension.

In his last view, Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun transformed into two entwined blood-colored meteors, falling toward the southwest star domain of the Deep Space Sea.

The intense sensation of weightlessness abruptly vanished.

When Jiang Shu fell out of the space cocoon, law tides filled his surroundings.

Beneath his feet was a slowly rotating starry vortex, in the torrent floated countless Law Origin Fragments, incomplete yet awe-inspiring.

Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jiang Shu saw the "Returning Ruins" characters on the token reassembling, forming an indistinct rune before becoming still again.

"Returning Ruins... the message Black Robe gave me recorded that this is part of the Deep Space Sea, brimming with rich Law Origin Fragments, arguably the best piece of territory."

"Perfect, there is also an opportunity here worth checking out."

No one would complain about having too many opportunities, and Jiang Shu was no exception.

"No wonder it’s a holy land for cultivation, the concentration of space laws here almost becomes tangible."

Jiang Shu walked through the void, with Dao Rhymes flowing in his breathing, every step covering dozens of miles.

Here, everywhere were shattered spaces, akin to meteor belts surrounding large patches of relatively intact space, their edges like sharp blades with formidable lethality.

These space fragments were ubiquitous, they might vanish completely in the next moment or emerge beside oneself, if not noticed it could pose great life-threatening danger.

Every cultivator entering here would tread cautiously.

Yet Jiang Shu moved like a stroll in the park, his figure flickering to avoid all space fragments, from afar he could see a place where order was extremely chaotic.

Returning Ruins was named so because it is the realm of law’s death, its end.

This was a gathering place for space fragments that had endured endless ages, they were no longer young, their Law Origins had started to decay, colliding and blending with each other, eventually forming space law whirlpools in this realm, filled with the purest Space Dao Rhymes.

For other Supreme Geniuses, what they lacked the most was understanding of laws, like a small water cup. Only by turning the cup into a basin, or even a bucket, could they progress further.

But Jiang Shu, who had traversed the Two Realms for many years, already had a bucket-level understanding of space laws, but there wasn’t much "water" in them.

Therefore Jiang Shu urgently needed these "water sources" before him.

He had long been eyeing the resources of the Land of Returning Ruins when he learned of the Deep Space Sea’s situation, never expecting that what he wished for would actually appear before him.

"Truly, a pillow when you feel sleepy."

Jiang Shu smiled joyfully, his chest heaving, behind him fourteen Law Origin phantoms extended invisible tentacles, absorbing the resources here.

A moment later, Jiang Shu suddenly opened his eyes, looking toward an empty space, those black hole-like eyes staring intently at the youth hidden in some unknown space, silent yet giving him immense pressure.

"It’s that Demon God!"

That Supreme Genius felt his heart tighten, as if gripped by a giant hand, a feeling of indescribable oppression.

Just moments ago, he had witnessed the battle between Jiang Shu and the Mechanical Mother, the commanding demeanor beyond what he could compare with at his current realm.

Moreover, it’s said Jiang Shu was bloodthirsty by nature, having once lured the deaths of hundreds of geniuses just for an opportunity, regardless of whether this was true or not, his current gaze already conveyed it.

If he wished to continue living, he must leave immediately!

The tingling on his scalp made the genius leave without hesitation or greed, turning and departing.

Opportunities were good, but only if one lived to enjoy them, right?

Seeing the noble genius depart, Jiang Shu summoned the Chaos Thunder Pool to float above his head, devouring the Space Dao Rhymes here like a whale swallowing an ox.

Within his body, the Great Void Heart Scripture slowly circulated, his understanding of the Space Dao in his mind gradually improving.

Upon entering the Deep Space Sea, he had more and more tasks to accomplish.

The first being to perfect the Laws Origin within himself.
