Chapter 571 Two Major Rules
The secret of two rules is hidden in one Venerable Qi Luo!
Is this reasonable?
For Li Dong, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, as long as it gives him the opportunity to understand the two rules, he says the more the better!
Venerable Qi Luo himself could not understand these rules and could only apply them barely. But that did not mean that Li Dong could not figure them out. He was standing at a far different level from these venerables.
With Li Dong's current status, he is familiar with the original work of Devouring and even knows its other sister work. His insight from a God's perspective has now become a major advantage for Li Dong.
If he was just a local native, even with the natural ability of the Lord of Battle, he might be very powerful now, and he might even make rapid progress all the way, and it is possible that he could directly become a Venerable or even reach the level of Overlord of the Universe.
However, there is no essential difference between such a cosmic overlord or Venerable and other Venerables or cosmic overlords. At most, he is just a little more powerful.
He is nothing like the current Li Dong. Although his cultivation level has progressed a bit slower, his strength, foundation, background and imaginable future are far from comparable to those of the hypothetical natives.
This is the advantage of knowing the depth of the original work. In Li Dong's eyes, although the Devouring Universe is extremely huge, it is too small at the conceptual level. After all, the Devouring Universe is just one of the three thousand general dimensional universes.
There is also the even larger Origin Continent, and above the big world of Origin, there is the even more vast and boundless Hunyuan Space.
As long as he has this concept, Li Dong naturally cannot limit his vision to a small Hunyuan Universe.
In addition, he knew the extremely rough route of Lord Hunyuan, so Li Dong naturally wanted more possibilities.
"Spiritual rules are the more obvious rules in the secret method of Venerable Qi Luo. Others can also sense the spiritual power of Venerable Qi Luo, but they may not know that it is a rule. The rule hidden deeper in him is the secret of Venerable Qi Luo's ability to use the power of spiritual rules!"
Li Dong finally discovered the essence of the matter as he unraveled the mystery bit by bit. What guided Venerable Qi Luo to use spiritual power was actually the rules of the contract, which were the deeper hidden rules he discovered later. In fact, Venerable Qi Luo could only use spiritual power with the help of the rules of the contract.
The spiritual rules themselves have little to do with him.
"The contract rules... are indeed magical rules. Could it be that this rule can also leverage the power of other rules!?"
The more Li Dong studied, the more he felt the two kinds of rule power on Venerable Qi Luo, the more he understood the essence of Venerable Qi Luo's powerful force.
This made Li Dong sigh in his heart. The power of rules was indeed too mysterious. He was probably the only one in the universe who could perceive the mystery of the rules bit by bit through such obscure fluctuations of rules.
Of course, Li Dong has only discovered two major rules now. If he wants to truly comprehend the mysteries of the two major rules from Venerable Qi Luo, he still needs to work hard to learn them.
Fortunately, Li Dong already had experience. He understood the summoning rules from the Beast Master, which made him the most experienced person in how to comprehend the rules in the primitive universe.
Of course, there is also a former God-King named Zuo Shanke. However, not to mention that Zuo Shanke is being closely watched by the will of the original universe and dares not to do anything wrong. Even if he can move freely, Zuo Shanke may not be able to comprehend the power of rules from the superficial fluctuations of rules.
If he had this ability, in the Origin Continent where conditions were better, with his power as the ruler of a Kingdom of God, he would have understood the rules long ago.
In other words, the power of rules, even in the truly prosperous continent of Origin, a fertile ground for cultivation, is an extremely obscure system of cultivation. In other words, although the comprehension of the rules can be slowly summarized, it still depends on opportunity. Without the opportunity, even a powerful God King will have no possibility of comprehension.
Rules and laws are two different forces that keep the world going.
It is easy to understand laws but difficult to cultivate rules. This is the universal reality of the world.
The reason why Li Dong can comprehend the power of rules under such simple conditions is mainly because of his talent as the Lord of Battle, plus simulated absorption, his extremely terrifying comprehension, and his habit of breaking limits within limits. All these factors add up to the fact that he is now able to comprehend the power of rules under such simple conditions.
The two major rule forces are linked together in a chain. Li Dong actually comprehended them and felt deeply the difficulty.
This is a power that is even more difficult to comprehend than the summoning rules contained in the Beast Master.
First of all, spiritual rules are not actually the rules that truly favor Venerable Qi Luo. Therefore, although they are relatively obvious rules, it is difficult to capture their true existence. In this way, if one cannot even perceive the real rules, then it is naturally extremely difficult to comprehend them.
If one wants to truly capture the spiritual rules, then one must start from the rules of the contract that Venerable Qi Luo is truly favored by. However, the contract rules are hidden under the spiritual rules. This requires Li Dong to overcome the many interferences of spiritual power before he can grasp the power of the contract rules with difficulty.
This greatly increased the difficulty for Li Dong to comprehend the power of the two major rules.
"I have no idea where to start with the spiritual rules that are right in front of me, so I'd better start with the contract rules. I will sense the contract rules little by little, and wait until I have fully grasped the shadow of the contract rules on Venerable Qi Luo. Then I can start from the contract rules and comprehend the spiritual rules in reverse. It can be said that it is a complete analysis of one circle after another. But now that I have found the shadow of the rules, I would not be called Li Dong if I don't grasp it!"
There was a gleam in Li Dong's eyes and he was full of fighting spirit.
In his eyes, since he saw the opportunity, he had no intention of giving up. Isn't it just a fight to the death? He was very skilled at this!
So skilled that it makes people feel distressed!
Therefore, Li Dong took the initiative to slow down the strength of the eight ancient beast gods, and indirectly reduced the pressure on Venerable Qi Luo, allowing him to hold on longer.
As a sparring master, Li Dong has rich experience and knows how to make sparring partners last longer.
Although he, the Great Demon King, has not yet made a sound among the Venerables, the principle is the same. As the Great Demon King in the Earth Era, Li Dong has accumulated a wealth of experience.
The Venerable level is nothing more than stronger, with more factors in various aspects, but it has no effect on Li Dong.
His current ultimate secret system encompasses everything, and it contains extremely large, complex and exquisite divisions. Moreover, he is accustomed to controlling the battlefield and has instinctive control over various forces. Therefore, for Li Dong, there is not much difference between practicing with the Venerable and practicing with those war gods in the early Earth era.
Especially now that he was able to unexpectedly summon the phantoms of the eight ancient beast gods, his power had actually increased a lot.
After all, even if their power level has been reduced to barely reach the level of a high-level Venerable, the eight ancient beast gods who are the masters of the universe are still extremely ferocious.
Even an extremely high-level Venerable like Venerable Qi Luo felt like he had no idea where to start under the pressure of the eight ancient beast gods, and instead felt like he was being pushed into a corner little by little.
“This Li Dong is really innovative. He can even create the Eight Beast Gods. Although they are just incomplete shadows, I, a mere high-level Venerable, can’t handle it!” The more Venerable Qi Luo fought, the more powerless he felt.
Even if the Lord of the Universe's power level was reduced to the weakest level of a High Venerable, an extreme High Venerable like him still felt extremely strenuous.
What’s more terrifying is that there are as many as eight such masters of the universe!
This is really terrible.
Therefore, at the beginning, Venerable Qi Luo was able to kill them by force by relying on his mighty divine power. However, facing the phantoms of the eight beast gods that seemed to be evolving, Venerable Qi Luo's mighty power became increasingly pale and powerless.
This is a gap in combat capability, comprehension and understanding of the laws, and other aspects.
It's like a baby who can only climb. No matter how strong he is, he can never compare with an adult who is perfect in all aspects. Even if an adult is weaker than a baby, his fully developed body and mature body control are enough to crush the baby who is strong but can only climb.
Now, Venerable Qi Luo is like a baby in front of adults in front of the afterimages of the eight ancient beast gods.
No matter how strong a baby is, he can only passively take the beating when facing a weak adult.
And the more familiar they are with his routines, the easier it will be for these eight ferocious afterimages of the ancient beast gods to control him.
This is also the reason why Li Dong can only limit the power of the eight beast gods and allow Venerable Qi Luo to relieve the pressure. He is really worried that Venerable Qi Luo can't hold on.
The shadows of the eight ancient beast gods are so powerful.
Li Dong even felt that if he went all out to provide power to the eight phantoms of the beast gods, he might be able to compete with the true overlord of the universe.
Of course, if he did so, there would also be the risk of losing control. Unless the necessary moment came, Li Dong would never do so.
Once they have enough power to roam for a long time, with the strength of these eight beast gods, even if they are just phantoms, they may be able to take the opportunity to escape from Li Dong's control.
After all, although the summoning rules can summon sufficiently powerful summoned beasts, there is also the risk of backlash.
It all depends on one's own strength and understanding of the summoning rules.
To be honest, Li Dong had no advantage at all against the eight ancient beast gods in these two aspects, so giving them too much power would still pose a risk of them losing control.
Moreover, Li Dong was reluctant to consume his divine power. After all, the sixty-three wild beasts were like batteries. They could not replenish their divine power through natural absorption, but only through the Beast Lord.
In essence, these sixty-three wild beasts are still summoned by the Beast Lord. It’s just that Li Dong, through his comprehension of the summoning rules and his more powerful understanding of the essence of the summoning rules, forcibly snatched them from their original owner, the Beast Lord.
Of course, Li Dong himself can also summon ancient wild beasts, but even if he has some understanding of the summoning rules and has even gone a long way to the entry level, he is still restricted by the rules of the original universe itself, so the most he can do is summon wild beasts with invincible king-level combat power.
If he wants to summon a venerable-level wild beast, he must at least reach the immortal level.
The rules of the original universe still want to find ways to manage everything under it at all times. Although the areas of summoning given to the rules are restricted, the two sides also restrain and compromise with each other.
Venerable Qi Luo could only slowly conserve his own strength. Li Dong took advantage of this opportunity to continuously feel the power of the extremely secret contract rules from Venerable Qi Luo.
This magical rule can contract the power of another rule, thereby greatly increasing the power of Venerable Qi Luo.
If Li Dong can comprehend this rule, even if it is just a little bit, then he will have great potential.
In this case, if he could contract an even more powerful essence of power, through the method of nesting dolls, could he bypass the restrictions of the original universe rules and summon a cosmic master-level or even a high-level master-level wild beast?
For example, if he could contract the power of the Lord of Chaos, bypass the limitations of the original universe, and borrow the power of the Lord of Chaos, then what kind of powerful wild beast could he summon?
It would be terrifying if we could summon the Lord of the Universe!
Of course, if Li Dong really summoned the giant beast that is the master of the universe, he would probably be attacked back immediately.
However, it is still very possible for him to summon a wild beast of the Universe Venerable level or even a wild beast of the High Venerable level.
In this way, Li Dong can fully utilize the power of the wild beasts to continuously improve his own extreme secret method and the scope of his jurisdiction.
The Venerable and the Overlord are essentially at the same level, except that there is a huge gap in the understanding and application of the laws. In fact, their comprehension of the laws is at the same level.
That is to say, he has fully comprehended both the upper and lower laws, and is in the stage of comprehending the other higher law.
The actual difference between them is that one has comprehended the peak and ultimate secret of the Venerable level, while the other has comprehended the peak and ultimate secret of the Overlord level.
In terms of the essence of power, the two are still at the same level.
Of course, because of their different understandings of the secret techniques, their powers naturally have an essential level of difference. This is also a huge difference in reality, but at the level of the original universe, there is no difference at all.
What Li Dong needs is their power, to bypass the limitations of the original universe and allow him to further comprehend the secret technique without any worries.
Of course, all of this requires understanding the contract rules first, to see if the contract rules have the functions that Li Dong needs!
