Chapter 265 - Unbreakable Ice

By attempting to directly comprehend unfiltered Law essence or Qi, Kali was able to achieve far higher results than anything she had reached before! 

If it's foreign Qi or Law essence from either the Minor Law Dimension or the general environment, its unfiltered essence rises Kali's comprehension rate by at least five times the speed than her Dragon Charm.

And if its unfiltered essence from her own dantian, her comprehension speed increased by at least eight times! 

From this, Kali directly felt her Source Law attainment path noticeably rise higher than ever before. 

There wasn't any clear indication of it. But Kali did perceive that World Source Laws and Minor Ice Law essence have gradually become less mysterious. 

It was like a small portion of mist in her mental psyche had evaporated entirely.

From this, her combat prowess slowly rose. 

It was reaching points where she could directly interact with a small portion of space, causing the atmosphere to freeze to levels where even extreme Innate Lord wouldn't be able to resist.

Like this, her foundation with Minor Ice Laws was skyrocketing. 

But naturally, not everything was perfect. 

Kali, who seemed completely calm, suddenly snapped her eyes wide open. Her pupils were almost entirely bloodshot, trails of blood leaked from her nose, and her body shivered. 

"Geh!" 

Volumes of blood vomited from Kali's mouth as she collapsed to her knees.

At the same time, her misty ice haze shattered, the remnants of ice energy falling to the ground and leaving behind patches of icy glints. 

"Haah…" A large sigh flowed from her mouth, her breath containing a chilling air.

Relaxing her body as healing energy rapidly flowed into her, Kali quickly analyzed that previous session. 

'I nearly passed out in the end. Most of my bones cracked, and I had a huge headache. Really just one wrong move, and I can cause some truly grueling damages to myself. By now, Cain must've seen this secret.'

The reason Kali had even managed to uncover this dangerous training technique was because of the Dragon Charm. 

It was actually during the first moments she arrived in the Dragon Celestial Pool.

As she was focused on comprehending and absorbing as much as possible, she didn't realize until it was too late that she had absorbed far more essence in her mental psyche than what her Soul's Core could handle.

The Soul's Core may have infinite, regenerative energy, but it had clear limits. 

And the only way to slightly raise these limits is by increasing one's cultivation. 

When the essence in Kali's mental psyche overpowered her Soul's Core, she had went into a slight panic.

Immense pain that surpassed no others wracked her entire being, threatening to destroy her mental psyche. 

In that critical moment, Kali started to think all of her efforts to reach this point would get flushed right down the drain.

Her dreams, goals, and ambitions will be torn entirely away from her, and she would be powerless to stop it. 

At this thought, instead of getting frantic, unwilling, or fired up to resist, Kali strangely felt her Martial Heart go ice-cold.

It was like she suddenly experienced a flash of enlightenment. 

Like unbreakable, unmelting ice, Kali determined herself to comprehend the overflow of essence to completely control it.

Nothing else had mattered at that moment. 

Only her unwavering Ice Heart that will freeze and shatter all obstacles in her way mattered. 

Kali still wasn't sure what it was, but she felt her deepest ambitions far into the depths of her Soul's Core simulated, releasing a flash of inspiration.

And from there, Kali managed to comprehend just a tiny portion of the overdrawn essence and expelled it from her mental psyche. 

At the same time, she realized the incredible benefits it provided her.

This method was dangerous, but Kali only felt an icy determination to continue on this path. 

And currently, as she mediated on the translucent ground, a thought slowly streaked into her mind, 'To reach this point, was that flash of inspiration my slumbering Martial nature? After that moment, my Soul's Core grew considerably in power and now is faint green, just like that time Cain reached the Spirit Soul level. If this is part of my Martial Nature, then being unbreakable like ice partly defines me!'

A small smile of genuine joy bloomed onto Kali's beautiful face. 

As she came to this realization, her eyes seemed to slightly brighten, as if it was clearing up a slight haze.

After a few more moments of healing, Kali was back to her optimal condition. 

Feeling newly invigorated, Kali decided to do a small test run. 

She quickly sprang to her feet, summoning purely Minor Ice Law essence. Opening her palms, chilling blue lights promptly gathered. 

The blue lights transformed into streams of Minor Ice Law essence as they formed into a beautiful Ice blade that extended out for three meters.

The shine of the Ice blade was far more luminous, crystally shiny like an exquisite gemstone. 

With such intense rays, a weaker cultivator could feel a stinging sensation burn their eyes from carelessly staring at it.

Through the rise of her Source Law attainment path, Kali's Minor Ice Law foundation naturally experience gradual improvements. 

The power contained within this Ice blade surpassed what she could muster up before.

And amazingly enough, Kali was still utilizing only a small portion of soul energy! 

No fear could be seen on her face as she coldly smirked. 

Kali rapidly swung her Ice blade, her hand moving at lightning-like speeds, making it seem like a blur to untrained eyes.

And with each slash she successfully performs, rays of pure Ice essence burst out. 

The rays of Ice essence streaked through the space, having speeds that can undoubtedly catch any extreme Innate Lord warrior off guard!

Kali didn't stop, continuing this meticulous practice for nearly half an hour. Her movement seemed elegant and refined on the surface. 

But internally, Kali felt her muscles rapidly tightening to a painful degree. Her mental psyche was also rapidly becoming a daze from overdrawing her total concentration since she's utilizing so little soul energy. 

Though the training was quite brutal, Kali was engraving all sensations deep within her mind and bones.

Only by this could she perform even better in actual battles. 

None of her thoughts would get uselessly expanded, reaching a state like Cain where she acts almost on natural instincts.

It was only when she was just a minute away from a half-hour did Kali abruptly stopped. Her body quivered, her expression paled, and the Ice blade within her palm gained hundreds of cracks.

'Ka-Cha!' 

With a loud shattered like glass, Kali's Ice blade burst into tiny ice crystal shards. 

Simultaneously, Kali stuffily coughed, spurting out a smaller volume of blood compared to her last training.

Even with internal injuries wracking her body, Kali still had it in her to smile. The blood dripping from her mouth made her grin look haunting but also strangely enhancing. 

She was inwardly thinking, 'Heaven and Earth and Source Laws really are so strange. Nature has this particular sensation of peering into the depths of an endless forest. While Source Law gives the sensation almost similar to life. As if was the essence that was forming everything, continually providing everything with life.'

This was purely Kali's vague speculations. 

She, of course, was highly aware that there are far more to these sensations than what's she currently experiencing. 

But it is the fact that she wasn't able to ever experience these sensations before that made all the difference. 

Even with just this minor enlightenment, Kali was dozens of steps ahead compared to her progress on the Heaven Sky Planet.

Riding off her current momentum, Kali didn't hesitate, spreading out her Soul Sense and specifically focusing on the World Source Law essence within this separate dimension. 

Within moments, pure World Source Law essence absorbed into her mental psyche, bringing about an assault of intense pain. 

Kali shivered in pain, her teeth tightly clenched as her palm dug into her flesh in stubborn persistence.

Moments passed, second passed, minutes passed, and soon enough, hours passed. 

Using all of this time, Kali focused on squarely controlling just a sliver of this World Source Law essence.

And when fives hours finally passed, Kali reached a change! 

Through her dangerous training, she was able to finally comprehend this sliver of World Source Law essence!

This time, Kali was summoning the proper amount of soul energy. Because of this, when finally comprehending the sliver World Source Law essence, the pressure considerably decreased for her.

Kali slowly opened her palm, summoning the World Source Law essence through her right arm, flowing it to her palm. 

A white flash sparkled as a strand of white crystal Source Law essence formed from the center of her palm.

In this moment, Kali reached the feat of just slightly controlling World Source Laws! 

This feat was on the same level as manipulating Heaven and Earth's Origin energy itself. 

Just like Origin energy, World Source Laws is one of the main foundations for all other Source Laws. Without World Source Laws, the current branches of Laws wouldn't be able to develop from billions among billions of years.

Kali's level of control was barely scratching the surface. But just this amount was dozens of times better than any mere Sky Ruler genies! 

The benefits she will be able to take hold of would be fantastic.

Although, Kali wasn't able to maintain holding the strand of World Source Law essence for long. 

Her palm trembled as if it was experiencing massive pressure before the white crystal Law essence dispersed.

This training didn't last long, but Kali was more than satisfied. 

Not stopping for rest, Kali assimilated into a cultivation state, pouring her consciousness into her Minor Law sphere.

Her consciousness experienced the power of space shifting around, bringing her in the Minor Law Dimension. 

No matter the place Kali's original body is in, she will always be able to access the Minor Law Dimension.

There was a direct link to the essence within this Dimension and her mental psyche, always allowing for instant cultivation. 

This was but one of the grand mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. 

Upon entering the Minor Law Dimension, Kali immediately felt that Minor Ice Law essence was slightly less mysterious to her. 

Spreading her soul sense, Kali absorbed the Dimension's Minor Ice Law essence into her mental psyche and began rapidly comprehending it.

Threshold stage Minor Ice Law essence engulfed Kali's mental psyche in a comforting freezing cold. 

Within minutes, Kali completed comprehending this stream of Minor Ice Law essence. 

Then, she grasped the Minor Ice Law essence with soul energy, perfectly controlling it to flow through her body, absorbing it straight into her dantian. 

The Minor Ice Law essence quickly fused with Kali's Minor Ice Law sphere, enhancing it and the entirety of her dantian's space.

Her Minor Ice sphere spewed faint streams of Icy lights, fusing it into the Kali's dantian Innate Mist. 

A slight increase of strength shot through Kali. Her body shook a bit as her eyes slowly opened.

Now dazing expression was unusual calmness. 

She sighed, speaking out loud, "I wonder just how far Cain has progressed.. Or maybe, he is already steps ahead of me. Either way, I can only crazily drive myself like this for a small chance!"
