CHAPTER 1262 THE TIME LAW
The Rule Soul Avatar's eyes had been reduced to bloody holes, which looked terrifying.
In this colorful halo, the Rule Soul Avatar seemed to be floating in a river, but in no fixed direction.
"Argh!"
The Rule Soul Avatar released a sudden roar, and a streak of law light flashed over his body.
The pain coursing through him disappeared, his god's power recovered, and his consciousness was
restored.
However, his eyes were still damaged.
"Time turbulent flows,"
the Rule Soul Avatar murmured. He recognized where he was as he had experienced it before.
He was in the Lothlann Continent at that time, but his Spirit Power and comprehension ability were not
high enough to communicate with the Time Rule.
Time was distorted in the time turbulent flows. Although the Rule Soul Avatar's eyes were damaged, he
avoided the moment when he had sustained the injury as he was in the time turbulent flows. Hence,
the pain in his eyes disappeared.
However, as his eyes were unusual, he could not reverse the trauma they sustained despite being in
the time turbulent flows. So, while his suffering had ended, his eyes did not return to their original state.
As the Rule Soul Avatar's consciousness and strength had been restored, he grabbed the opportunity
to augment his skills. His Spirit Power split into billions of threads, and he began to comprehend the
Time Law.
What frustrated him was that his comprehension speed had slowed as without his silvery eyes, he
could not see the Time Law silk threads.
It was hard, but not impossible.
Determined, the Rule Soul Avatar concentrated all his attention to perceive the Time Law, despite his
limitations.
In the disorder of time, the Rule Soul Avatar felt as though tens of millions of years had passed, but
sometimes he felt like it had only been a split second.
Finally, after struggling for a while, the Rule Soul Avatar connected with the Time Law's first silk thread.
The colorful halo surrounded the Rule Soul Avatar, and in a split second, he became old, and his face
resembled that of a witcher's.
But a few seconds later, he became young, even child-like.
"I can't control it."
The Rule Soul Avatar's Spirit Power was almost exhausted, and he could only attain one Time Law silk
thread.
If he continued to comprehend the Time Law forcefully, he was sure that he would break down and die.
The Rule Soul Avatar had to stop to recover his Spirit Power. Fortunately for him, in the time turbulent
flows, he had an endless amount of time.
After a while, he recovered and began to concentrate on comprehension again.
He persisted with the same process repeatedly.
When it came to the twenty-eight thousandth time, the Rule Soul Avatar finally connected with the
second Time Law silk thread.
According to his calculations, he could escape after he comprehended the third Time Law silk thread.
The reason was that the difficulty of communicating with each subsequent silk thread would increase a
million times. It was almost impossible to communicate with the fourth one, given his current state. It
would have been impossible even if his silvery eyes were intact.
For the moment, however, he would be satisfied with comprehending these three Time Law silk threads
as they were the ones he needed the most given his current precarious situation. Once he possessed
them, he would have a chance to repair his silvery eyes.
After a deep breath, he began to search for the third Time Law silk thread.
His Spirit Power was depleted several times, but each time, he stopped and recuperated before
continuing. Typically emotionless, the Rule Soul Avatar began to feel bored. This change left him
uncomfortable.
"Phew!"
The Rule Soul Avatar frowned and stopped. He did not understand why he had emotions. After all, he
had been emotionless ever since the beginning of his existence. holds text © rights.
What puzzled him more was that this was not the first time.
Previously, when Jenifer protected him from the burning oil, he had felt a sense of bitterness.
"Is my soul evolving?" the Rule Soul Avatar murmured.
Ever since he separated his soul from his real body, he had a remnant soul. The Rule Soul Avatar had
self-consciousness but without any emotion. This dispassionate state had been one of the remnant
souls' characteristics.
While the soul was a wonderful thing that couldn't be created, it had the ability to self-evolve and self-
perfect. However, this process needed luck and a lot of patience.
"Good." Traces of a smile appeared on the Rule Soul Avatar's face.
He continued to work on comprehension.
After several trials and continuous searching, the Rule Soul Avatar finally found the Time Law silk
thread that he needed.
Hopeful, he used his Spirit Power to get the silk thread.
However, the moment he touched it, the other two threads he had acquired, spiraled into chaos and
began to tear at each other.
And time began to warp.
"No!"
The Rule Soul Avatar frowned. It seemed as though it was forbidden to have these three Time Law silk
threads simultaneously.
"Past, present, future,"
the Rule Soul Avatar recited in his mind. These were the three Time Law silk threads that he had
chosen.
After possessing them, he could refine them, and once they were truly mature, he would control time in
the real sense.
However, to his dismay, the last "future" law silk thread seemed incapable of coexisting with the first
two.
The Rule Soul Avatar racked his brain as he tried to find a solution. One thing was for sure: he could
not give up.
Therefore, he decided to take the risk. If he failed, he would die.
Boom!
The Rule Soul Avatar gathered all his Spirit Power in one breath.
Then he condensed it into an intangible palm and tried to grab the Time Law silk thread.
Once he had secured the silk thread with his intangible hand, the Rule Soul Avatar felt that the past,
present, and future were pulling his body and soul in different dimensions. However, he could not exist
in these three states simultaneously. Thus, it was like he was about to be torn apart by time.
"Argh!"
The Rule Soul Avatar managed to gather his Spirit Power again, resulting in a crack in his soul.
The intangible palm clenched tightly on the Time Law silk thread and pulled it with all its strength.
Once it entered his body, the Rule Soul Avatar could control it. Then the tearing power of time would
disappear.
The Time Law silk thread was like a tense bowstring, reaching its maximum tension.
"Argh!"
The Rule Soul Avatar forced the Spirit Power again, even though his soul was full of cracks.
Crack!
A thunderous sound rang out as the Time Law silk thread broke! One end plunged into his body.
At the moment, the Rule Soul Avatar sighed with relief.
The pain of soul tearing was powerful, but it was nothing compared to the torment he endured when his
silvery eyes were destroyed. And so, he could bear it.
However, at this moment, a certain dark abyss was tossed into turmoil.
There, the tremendous god's power gathered into a sea, in which nine massive bodies floated.
When the Rule Soul Avatar broke the third Time Law silk thread, nine pairs of large, dark-gold eyes
opened in unison. The violent god's power and law force they emitted shook the stars hundreds of
millions of kilometers away.
Terrifying waves stirred.
"Someone is touching time."
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
"Who did this? Who?"
"He is not a Defiant Master!"
The nine giant bodies roared in metallic sounds in unison.
