Chapter 1017: Red Lightning, The Rule of Life and Death

Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as Jiang Chengxuan was about to complete the seventh level of the Heavenly Calculation Technique, an astonishing aura burst forth from the void around him.

Shen Ruyan, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but hold her breath, her heart filled with intense nervousness.

In the formless void, thin strands of red lightning appeared, trembling around Jiang Chengxuan and casting successive human-shaped outlines.

This faint red lightning, though subtle, caused Shen Ruyan, who controlled the mixed Primordial Divine Thunder, to feel a hint of palpitation.

This red lightning did not belong to this world, making Shen Ruyan instantly apprehensive.

Unsure what Jiang Chengxuan had done to cause this sudden appearance of red lightning, it seemed like some sort of bizarre thunder calamity.

However, just as Shen Ruyan was about to forcibly intervene, suppress the red lightning, and awaken Jiang Chengxuan, an unexpected scene unfolded.

From within the black and white stone doors, a force different from the previously ancient and vast power suddenly emerged.

This force appeared and the red lightning, as if intimidated, vanished in an instant.

This scene, from the emergence to the disappearance of the red lightning, happened extremely quickly and was very peculiar.

However, its disappearance finally allowed Shen Ruyan to relax and breathe a sigh of relief.

Simultaneously, Jiang Chengxuan completed the last part of the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

A complete technique of the seventh level Heavenly Calculation Technique now lay within his mind.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan began to cultivate this seventh level Heavenly Calculation Technique.

Because this technique was forcibly deduced by him through the power of Karma, it was intricately entwined with countless Karmas with Jiang Chengxuan.

Now, as he began to cultivate this seventh level, it was as if he was merely recalling something he had temporarily forgotten.

Furthermore, the power of the Deduction Bead still lingered in him, aiding him in mastering the seventh level Heavenly Calculation Technique almost instantaneously.

Buzz—

In the void, as if a silent bell tolled, Jiang Chengxuan opened his eyes, and in an instant, all forces of Karma and deduction were drawn into his mind.

At this moment, the stone doors before him held no secrets from him.

The runes deduced thousands of times, under the push of the seventh level Heavenly Calculation Technique power, formed a mysterious pattern.

Instantly, the black and white doors seemed to tremble slightly, and a faint gap appeared as if something was being pulled open.

The ancient and vast essence surged wildly from the black and white doors.

But just as it was about to impact Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, Jiang Chengxuan formed a hand seal with his right hand, and the ancient and vast essence instantly became formless.

Inside the stone doors, mist swirled, obscuring whatever lay beyond.

But Jiang Chengxuan, having now fully understood the black and white doors, was ready to unveil their secrets.

The Samsara rule manifested around him, its aura enveloping the area and bearing a resemblance to the ancient and vast essence from within the doors.

Earlier, Jiang Chengxuan had sensed this ancient and vast essence and found it vaguely familiar.

Now, he was certain that these doors hid some kind of grand rule, possibly related to the rule of Samsara, known as the rule of Life and Death.

“Husband.”

At that moment, Shen Ruyan slowly approached Jiang Chengxuan and called out with concern.

In her view, Jiang Chengxuan’s plan must have succeeded, but the earlier red lightning still left her puzzled.

“What is it, Wife? Just a moment more, and I can open these black and white doors.”

“Husband, just before you were about to break the seal, there seemed to be some anomaly. Are you feeling alright?”

Shen Ruyan spoke slowly, then relayed the incident with the red lightning.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s brow furrowed, but after a moment of thought, he seemed to grasp the underlying reason.

“It seems that the power of the seventh level of Heavenly Calculation Technique reached the limits of this world, hence causing the phenomenon of the bizarre lightning.”

He explained slowly to Shen Ruyan.

“And the reason that red lightning receded was likely due to it sensing the suppressive force of the immortal power from the abode.”

The power of the seventh level of Heavenly Calculation Technique had touched upon forbidden celestial forces, hence attracting the red lightning.

However, because of the presence of an immortal aura, the red lightning calamity became confused in its judgment, mistaking this power as belonging to an immortal, and thus withdrew.

This explanation suddenly enlightened Shen Ruyan, finally putting her heart at ease.

Having resolved this matter, Jiang Chengxuan then refocused his attention on the black and white stone doors.

Now that he had penetrated their mysteries, it was time to open them.

Jiang Chengxuan spread his hands wide, fully manifesting the Samsara rule which enveloped the entire area.

Under his control, the Samsara rule began to whirl wildly, extracting certain powers from the black and white stone doors, which appeared as black and white colors.

In the next moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s left eye turned pure white, and his right eye turned pitch black.

This black and white appearance was incredibly mysterious.

In the white of his eye, it seemed as if infinite worlds extended, while in the black of his eye, it was as if countless worlds were silent and still.

The rule of Life and Death manifested within him.

Utilizing the Samsara rule and the similarity between it and the rule of Life and Death, Jiang Chengxuan forcibly extracted some of the rule of Life and Death from the black and white stone doors.

Now, under the power of the rule of Life and Death, the stone doors were completely vulnerable.

Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts shifted, and the Samsara rule quickly retracted into his body.

The next moment, the rules of black and white manifested from his body.

One half was light, the other darkness.

In the world of light, life thrived abundantly, with holy light shining over all, and creatures of countless worlds proliferating endlessly.

In the world of darkness, an eerie silence prevailed, with a river of the underworld flowing, and numerous lost souls sinking into it.

The rule of Life and Death, uniting these two, emanated an extremely powerful aura, one of the great universal rules.

“Manifest!”

Following Jiang Chengxuan’s explosive force, the dual-colored rule of Life and Death poured out like a torrent.

It then fell upon the two black and white stone doors.

Rumble!

In an instant, the two ancient doors, sealed for eons, began to slowly open.

Mysterious light spread with the opening of the doors, and an ancient, vast aura emerged continuously.

The supreme rule of Life and Death burst forth, completely enveloping Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
