Chapter 502 - Life-Saving Means
'To think this Black Vortex Space is capable of grinding down the being's will into law comprehension fragments. No matter how impressive the Destruction Law and Wrath Law are, they are still nothing in front of Nihility, huh?' Leon mused.
The [Hegemon of Primal Chaos] was starting to live up to its name. It was this technique that allowed him to gain a preliminary comprehension of the Nihility Law.
As the law that marks the beginning and end of all things, it truly did deserves to sit at the peak of all laws.
If he could fully comprehend this law, becoming the Hegemon of Primal Chaos would not be a farfetched dream.
'Let's see what these law fragments contain,' Leon wondered.
His divine sense slowly drifted over and contacted the first law fragment before a series of profound information in the form of images were transmitted into his mind.
He saw the waning moons and collapsing stars, the shattering of countless celestial bodies that were supposedly eternal in the dark and endless expanse.
Whether they were stars, star fields, or even star clusters; anything can be destroyed, and nothing seemed eternal in front of destruction.
Leon vaguely felt that the law fragment had something to do with the Destruction Law. Nevertheless, he could not understand anything from these jumbled images alone.
'Seems like I need to absorb them first.' Leon thought.
The law fragment was shortly pulled towards his soul core before disappearing inside like droplets falling into the sea, but without its ripples.
A series of profound images flowed through his mind once more. However, they were no longer and jumbled and confusing as before.
As he suspected, it was the comprehension fragment of the Destruction Law.
Even so, Leon's comprehension of the Destruction Law did not immediately improve after absorbing the comprehension fragment.
Just because the knowledge was there, it does not necessarily mean that he would immediately understand it.
'It seems I will still need to gain insight from studying these profound images if I want to understand Destruction.' Leon thought wryly.
He thought he could advance by leap and bounds in an instant—simply by absorbing the law fragments.
'I guess there is no way there would be such a thing in the world. You can try to teach a donkey how to drink water. But if it's too stupid to understand, any teachings would be ultimately fruitless, huh?' Leon pondered to himself.
In the end, the law fragments were another being's comprehension of the law and not his own.
He needed to interpret the being's comprehension in his own understanding to make it his own—just like how a teacher imparts their knowledge to their student.
That being said, the Destruction Law Fragment will help him gain insight into the law at a much quicker rate than if he was to attempt it through regular means.
Not to mention, it was the Destruction Law!
This was not supposed to be something mortal can easily come in contact with, let alone comprehend it with their mortal perception!
However, an opportunity was presented before him!
'Let me see what the rest of these law comprehension fragments contain.' Leon shortly cast his covetous divine sense onto the remaining scattered fragments.
There were not too many fragments. Only seven pieces were found floating around aimlessly in the Black Vortex Space, and not all of them contained the Destruction Law.
There were also the Death Law and Darkness Law, while the Wrath Law was nowhere to be found. However, Leon did not find this strange.
According to Maya's words, the Law of Wrath is a specialized law within the Destruction Law.
This is to say that the Destruction Law was so broad and profound that even the Great Devils from the primordial age could only focus on one aspect of destruction.
After all, there were different types of destruction.
That being said, Leon had no clue how wrath is related to destruction. Perhaps, the law was too profound for him to understand.
Nevertheless, he did not dwell on it.
After absorbing all seven fragments, Leon ended his introspection and opened his eyes to the Worldspace in his surroundings before letting out a soft sigh.
Evidently, he had entered the Worldspace with his real body rather than projecting his mind inside, forming an astral avatar like usual.
There was no one around inside the Heart of Spring Chamber to witness him disappear, nor was he going to spend too much time inside the Worldspace.
However, there had always been something he was curious about whenever he enters the Worldspace with his real body—was anything left outside when he enters?
It could become a life-saving method if he understood the answer to this question.
"How are you feeling, Leon? Everything okay?" Lumi asked.
Leon smiled and nodded, "Everything is good—No, great! Anyhow, I am going to return to the outside world now. Are you coming?"
"Of course," Lumi answered before casting him a curious gaze. "By the way. I've been meaning to ask, but what kind of space is this?"
Lumi's eyes narrowed in question.
"Perfect, I'll send you outside first," Leon state while completely disregarding her previous question.
"Eh? Wait, answer my question f—"
Poof.
Lumi's figure immediately warped through space and disappeared—kicked outside the Worldspace by Leon with a single thought.
Not long after Lumi was booted, Leon appeared outside shortly after her.
"Did you see anything?" He asked.
"See what? I did sort of feel something, though—No, never mind that. Answer my previous question!" Lumi shook her head and urged with strong curiosity.
Hearing her words, Leon understood that the Divine Book of Life does not manifest itself in his place when he brings his body inside the Worldspace—however, its existence could be subtly felt.
This was neither good nor bad news.
But if he can properly use this information, hiding inside the Worldspace could become a means to save his life in extreme situations.
"Tell me~!" Lumi grabbed his arm and began swinging them as she threw a tantrum.
Leon shortly glanced at her with a smile, causing Lumi's anticipation to rise. But contrary to her expectation, he replied, "I don't wanna~!"
"Che! Be that way!" Lumi immediately pouted unhappily while stomping her feet, no longer pressing Leon for an answer.
That was his secret.
If he did not want to tell her, then there was nothing she can do about it.
