In the end times, many children bring more blessings. I pick up a goddess every day.

The moment the golden beam dissipated, Liu Yang did not feel the expected elemental turbulence or soul pressure. Instead, he felt a strange sense of "order"...

He found himself standing in a corridor paved with countless glowing runes. On both sides of the corridor was bottomless darkness, with only the soft white light emitted by the runes outlining the path forward...

There was no energy fluctuation in the air. Even the spiritual energy in his body, the power of the ice and fire double blades, and even the demonic power of the Ten Thousand Demons Pearl became unusually silent, as if they were invisibly suppressed by this space...

"Is this... suppression at the level of laws?" Liu Yang frowned. He tried to activate the Burning Heaven Fire, but found that the flames at his fingertips quickly dimmed and eventually went out as soon as they ignited... He then tried the Extreme Ice Power, with the same result... This level of strangeness far surpassed the 87th level. It didn't attack with violent force, but directly restricted the cultivator's ability to mobilize his own strength...

"Welcome to the Law Maze..." An old and majestic voice sounded at the end of the corridor. "I am the Lord of Law. This level is not a place for strong opponents. Only by understanding the laws can you move forward... There are nine checkpoints ahead, each corresponding to a fundamental law - space, time, life, death, cause and effect, destiny, creation, destruction, balance... You must pass through them one by one. With each level you pass, the suppression of space on your power will be weakened a little bit..."

If you fail at any level, you will be wiped out by the power of the law, and your soul will be destroyed..."

As he finished speaking, the entrance to the first checkpoint emerged from the darkness ahead. Over the entrance floated two ancient seal characters: "Space"...

Liu Yang took a deep breath, gripped the Ice and Fire Blades tightly, and slowly stepped into the spatial checkpoint... The scene before him suddenly shifted, and he found himself in a room composed of countless mirrors, each reflecting a "self." These mirrored images not only moved in perfect sync with him, but could even predict his attacks... Even stranger, the room's space was incredibly unstable, sometimes stretching, sometimes compressing. Every time he moved, he felt his body twisted into bizarre shapes...

"The test of the laws of space is 'mirror image' and 'distortion'?" Liu Yang's eyes narrowed. He tried to activate the power of the space bead, but found that the space bead was also severely restricted in this area. It could only teleport short distances, and after each teleportation, the surrounding mirrors would double in size...

Soon, the first mirror image emerged from the mirror, holding the same ice and fire blades as Liu Yang. It exuded the same aura, even the coldness in its eyes was identical...

Without a word, the mirror image launched an attack. The ice double blades pierced Liu Yang's heart with extremely cold ice power, and the movement was as fast as lightning...

Liu Yang didn't dare to be careless. He dodged sideways and swept out with his flaming double blades, aiming directly at the mirror image's neck... But just as the blades were about to hit, the mirror image suddenly disappeared and appeared behind him, launching a teleportation attack...

"Can you copy my teleportation?" Liu Yang was startled. He quickly activated the space-time power of the Space-Time Orb, condensing a space-time barrier in front of him... The mirror image's attack collided with the barrier and was instantly frozen in the space-time gap... Liu Yang seized the opportunity, turned around and swung the ice and fire blades, splitting the mirror image in half... But the shattered mirror image did not dissipate. Instead, it transformed into countless tiny points of light and merged into the surrounding mirror surface. Immediately afterwards, two more mirror images emerged from the mirror surface...

"The more I kill, the more mirrors I see? The key to this level isn't to eliminate them, but to penetrate them..." Liu Yang paused his attack and began to carefully observe the mirrors around him... He discovered that while the mirrors in each mirror moved in sync, their eyes had subtle differences. The mirrors that could actually emerge from the mirror had eyes filled with murderous intent, while the other mirrors had empty eyes...

"Found it!" Liu Yang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He mobilized his imperial soul power, condensing his mental force into an invisible sword, and shot it towards a mirror image on his left, which had a murderous look in its eyes... As soon as his mental force touched the mirror surface, it shattered with a "crack", and the image within it also dissipated... Then, he used the same method to shatter the mirror on the right. The two mirror images that had just left instantly lost their support and turned into points of light and disappeared...

As the last murderous mirror was eliminated, the mirrors in the room began to shatter one by one, and the feeling of spatial distortion disappeared... The first space level was passed!

As soon as Liu Yang emerged from the spatial checkpoint, he felt a slight recovery of his spiritual energy. Although it was still suppressed, it was at least able to be mobilized normally... He didn't stop and directly stepped into the second checkpoint - the time checkpoint...

The time checkpoint was set in a barren desert. A blood-red sun hung in the sky, and the ground was strewn with dried bones... As soon as Liu Yang stepped into the desert, he felt time flow at an unusually slow pace. His movements, thoughts, and even the flow of his spiritual energy slowed down several times... Even more terrifying, he could clearly see his skin aging at a visible rate, and his hair was beginning to turn gray...

"Time is accelerating aging?" Liu Yang's heart tightened. He immediately activated the space-time power of the Time-Space Orb, trying to resist the erosion of time... But the power of the Time-Space Orb was also limited within the time barrier. It could only barely slow down the aging process, but could not completely stop it...

At that moment, a group of black-cloaked figures appeared from behind the distant dunes. They held bone staffs in their hands, and a thick aura of death surrounded them... These were the "Time Guardians," who could manipulate the flow of time locally, instantly dragging their enemies into extreme states of aging or youth...

The leading Time Guardian raised his bone staff, and a gray force of time shot towards Liu Yang... He subconsciously activated his extremely cold ice power to resist, but the moment the gray energy touched the ice wall, it instantly turned to powder. At the same time, Liu Yang felt his arm suddenly become old and weak, his skin shriveled and covered with wrinkles...

"I can't resist!" Liu Yang instantly teleported back, simultaneously channeling the dream energy of his Dream Core to condense a dream barrier before him... As the force of time passed through the barrier, it was twisted into a harmless stream by the dream energy... He seized this opportunity, merging the Burning Heaven Fire Seed with his imperial spiritual power, condensing it into a massive flaming fist, which he smashed towards the Guardians of Time...

The flaming fist passed through the area where time flowed slowly, yet its speed remained undiminished—because the Burning Heaven Fire contained the essence of "destruction," which had a certain restraining effect on the laws of time... The Time Guardians had not expected Liu Yang to launch such a swift attack. Without time to dodge, they were struck by the flaming fist and instantly reduced to ash...

As the guardian of time was eliminated, the blood-red sun in the desert began to dim, the flow of time returned to normal, and Liu Yang's aging body also returned to its original state... The second time level was passed!

Liu Yang faced the next four stages: Life, Death, Cause and Effect, and Fate. Relying on his exquisite control of his own power and keen insight into the laws of nature, he overcame them one by one... In the Life stage, he used his miasma-clearing spiritual energy to nourish the withered Tree of Life, dispelling the countless vines that entangled it. In the Death stage, he used the Burning Heaven Fire to incinerate the deadly aura and defeat the Death Knight's siege. In the Cause and Effect stage, he altered the "cause" (destroying the rune that triggered the attack) to change the "effect" (preventing the attack). In the Fate stage, with his unwavering will, he broke the constraints of the Wheel of Fate on his trajectory and forged his own path...

With each level he passed, his internal strength recovered a bit. By the time he passed the Fate Level, he was able to fully mobilize the six basic powers. Even the power of the Space-Time Orb and the Dream Core had recovered 70% to 80%...

The seventh level is the Creation Level. The scene is a blank void... The Lord of Laws' voice echoes again: "To create a level, you must use your own power to create something, to fill this void... The more complex and realistic your creation, the greater the chance of passing the level..."

Liu Yang closed his eyes and began to mobilize all the strength within him... He first used the ochre-colored power of the earth to condense a vast expanse of land, then used the deep blue power of water to create rivers, lakes, and seas. He then used the emerald green power of wind to stir up a breeze, the crimson power of fire to ignite the sun, the snow-white power of ice to condense mountains, rivers, and glaciers, and finally, the dark purple power of lightning to embellish the sky...

In just a moment, a complete "world" was born in his hands... But the Lord of Laws' voice was filled with dissatisfaction: "It has form but no spirit. It is a dead thing. It does not count as a clearance..."

Liu Yang frowned, then understood the key—creation requires not only form but also spirit... He channeled the demonic power of the Myriad Demon Pearl and the power of his imperial soul, injecting a fragment of his soul into this world... Instantly, verdant plants sprouted from the earth, fish and shrimp swam in the rivers, and birds spread their wings in the sky. The entire world became vibrant...

"Yes, this is a 'living thing'..." The Lord of Laws said with a hint of approval, "Create a level and pass it!"

The eighth level was the Destruction Level, and the setting was exactly the world he had just created... The Lord of Laws' voice rang out again: "In the Destruction Level, you must personally destroy everything you have created... If you hesitate for even a moment, the world you created will backfire on you..."

Liu Yang gazed upon the vibrant world before him, his eyes clear of any hesitation... He knew this was merely a test of the laws. If he showed any reluctance, he would be trapped in the paradox of "creation and destruction," forever unable to break through... He raised the twin blades of ice and fire, merging the six powers with the forces of time and space and dreams, condensing them into an energy blade imbued with the power of "ultimate destruction"...

"I'm sorry..." Liu Yang said softly, then swung his energy blade... A huge crack appeared in the center of the world. The earth collapsed, the rivers flowed backwards, the sun went out, and the entire world turned into nothingness in an instant... Without any hesitation, without any lingering feelings...

"Decisive and unyielding, without any attachment..." The Lord of Laws' voice was filled with clear admiration, "Destroy the level, clear it!"

The final level, the Balance Level... The scene shifted again, and Liu Yang found himself standing in the center of a massive scale. "Creation" was inscribed on one end, "Destruction" on the other... On either side of the scale hung the energy imprints of his creation and destruction of the world...

"In the Balanced Level, the 'Power of Creation' and the 'Power of Destruction' on both ends of the scale must be completely equal... If either side is overweight, the scale will tilt, and you will fall into the endless abyss..." The Lord of Law's voice carried the final test...

Liu Yang looked at the energy marks on both ends of the scale and found that the power of creation was slightly weaker than the power of destruction - because when he created the world, he injected more "vitality", while when he destroyed it, it was an instantaneous burst of power, and the power was slightly "stronger"...

Without the slightest panic, he channeled the miasma-clearing spiritual energy and the demonic power of the Myriad Demons Pearl, injecting a trace of "gentle destructive power" into the mark of destruction, and simultaneously a trace of "pure creative power" into the mark of creation... Under his control, the two forces blended and adjusted with each other like flowing water, ultimately achieving a perfect balance...

When the energy marks on both ends of the scale simultaneously burst into dazzling light and then merged into a gray "Balancing Force", the Lord of Laws' voice rang out with relief: "All nine levels have been passed. You have penetrated the essence of the basic laws... I declare that the Law Maze level has been cleared!"

As the words fell, the suppression of space on Liu Yang's power completely disappeared. He could even feel that his understanding of the laws had reached a whole new level. Not only could he control the six basic elements, but he could also initially utilize the power of the laws of space, time, creation, destruction, and so on...

A gray bead, etched with law runes, emerged from the central area—the "Law Bead," a reward for clearing a level... Liu Yang reached out and placed the Law Bead into his storage bag. As soon as he grasped the bead, a surge of pure law power surged into his body, instantly replenishing his early-stage Emperor-level spiritual power. He even showed signs of breaking through to the mid-stage Emperor-level...

Su Qingyao's shadow reappeared, her eyes filled with awe as she looked at Liu Yang. "You... you actually managed to completely pass through the Law Maze? You know, even the legendary Saint-level cultivators might not be able to clear this level in one go... Your understanding of the Laws has surpassed that of most Emperor-level cultivators..."

Liu Yang smiled faintly, feeling the surging power within him and his profound understanding of the laws. He was filled with confidence. "Although the laws are profound, as long as I grasp their essence, I can use them to my advantage... 88 floors have passed, and I am getting closer to the top of the Tower of Babel..."

Without stopping, he turned and stepped into the newly appeared golden beam of light... The next level, the 89th level, was the challenge waiting for this newly promoted "Law Master"...
