My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

After successfully reshaping the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, Meng Chuan did not rush to leave seclusion.

He sat cross-legged in the makeshift cave, holding the enormous divine axe with its chaotic color, feeling the immense power contained within it, when a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

In the process of reshaping the divine axe, his divine sense deeply merged with the three creation treasures and the Dust and Sand Mystic Crystal.

That fusion gave him some entirely new insights into the laws of destruction.

Destruction is not merely an end, but a complete and traceless erasure.

Unlike the law of killing, which states that killing is the process, destruction is the result.

Killing can be the means, but destruction is the end.

The creation of the world by the Heaven-Opening Axe was essentially a destruction of chaos and the old order, thus paving the way for the birth of a new world.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

After Yan Qing came over to congratulate Meng Chuan, she noticed that he was in a daze and couldn't help but ask him.

Meng Chuan snapped out of his reverie, looked at Yan Qing, and said, "During the process of reshaping the Divine Axe, I gained some new insights into the Law of Destruction. I'd like to stay and study it for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing's eyes lit up: "Teacher is going to comprehend the third law?"

Meng Chuan nodded: "I do have that plan. However, it might take a long time."

Yan Qing immediately said, "Teacher, please rest assured to study it. I also want to study the Wood Element Law as soon as possible."

Meng Chuan smiled and didn't say anything more.

He put away the Heaven-Opening Axe and summoned the God-Slaying Spear, which hovered beside him.

An axe and a spear slowly rotated around him, emanating distinct yet subtly resonant auras.

He closed his eyes, focused his mind on his body, and began to comprehend the laws of destruction.

Time flowed slowly in the silent cave.

Meng Chuan's enlightenment was not smooth sailing.

The Law of Destruction ranks extremely high among the three thousand laws, second only to a few top-tier laws such as the Law of Force and the Law of Time.

Its essence is end, annihilation, and utter nothingness.

This law itself carries an extremely dangerous aura; a slight misstep could backfire and harm oneself.

But Meng Chuan had an advantage that others didn't have—he wielded the Heaven-Opening Axe and the God-Slaying Spear.

The Heaven-Opening Axe embodies the will of the great god Pangu to create the world. Its power to cleave through chaos and end the old world is itself the highest manifestation of the law of destruction.

The God-Slaying Spear, after devouring the Destruction Dao Emperor Weapon, also contained extremely pure Destruction Law power.

The two treasures, like two guiding lights, led him in comprehending the laws of destruction.

Eight hundred years later.

Meng Chuan remained immersed in his comprehension, while Yan Qing also made a significant breakthrough.

She sat cross-legged on the other side of the cave, surrounded by a rich emerald green light.

Those rays of light, as if alive, flowed and danced around her body, radiating vitality.

Before her floated the section of the wood-elemental Great Dao Imperial Weapon that Meng Chuan had given her—a section of tree branch that was entirely emerald green.

The branches emitted a soft green light, which complemented the emerald green light surrounding her, creating a mysterious resonance.

At a certain moment—Yan Qing suddenly opened her eyes.

In her pupils, it seemed as if an endless forest was growing and wildflowers were blooming all over the mountains.

The emerald green light surrounding her suddenly surged, then rapidly contracted, eventually disappearing entirely into her body.

Her aura became even deeper and more restrained at that moment.

"The Wood Element Law... is finally complete!"

Yan Qing murmured to herself, her tone tinged with joy.

After eight hundred years of arduous cultivation, with the help of that wood-elemental Great Dao Emperor Weapon, she finally comprehended the wood-elemental laws to perfection!

She turned to look in Meng Chuan's direction and found that her teacher was still immersed in his contemplation, surrounded by a faint black light.

The light was deep and dark, seemingly capable of devouring all light, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.

"The teacher should be here soon too..."

Yan Qing thought to herself.

She didn't disturb Meng Chuan, but continued to close her eyes, trying to integrate the perfected wood element law into the already merged perfected time and life laws.

Several decades later.

On this day, the black light surrounding Meng Chuan suddenly surged!

The light, almost tangible, condensed into a thick black halo around his body.

Within the halo, countless fine runes could be vaguely seen flowing, emanating a terrifying aura that seemed capable of destroying and ending everything!

The next moment, all the black light, like a whale sucking in water, disappeared into Meng Chuan's body.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if endless destruction was surging in his pupils, stars were being annihilated, and the world was collapsing!

"The Law of Destruction... is finally complete!"

Meng Chuan exhaled a long breath, feeling the new power within his body, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

After nearly nine hundred years of arduous cultivation, with the help of the Heaven-Opening Axe and the God-Slaying Spear, he finally comprehended the Law of Destruction to perfection!

Congratulations, teacher!

Yan Qing sensed the change in Meng Chuan's aura and came over immediately, her face filled with joy!

At the same time, she also felt a sense of pressure.

She hadn't expected that her teacher would catch up with her so quickly in understanding the principles of law.

Moreover, because the teacher comprehended a special law, although their progress in the law was similar, the teacher's combat power was far superior to hers!

Meng Chuan nodded, a smile appearing on his face: "We were lucky; things went more smoothly than expected."

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the power of the three perfect laws within his body—the Law of Power, the Law of Slaughter, and the Law of Destruction.

The three laws, like three raging rivers, flowed within him; the first two were perfectly integrated, while the latter was completely independent.

"Next, we'll try to integrate the Law of Destruction into it..."

Meng Chuan took a deep breath, his gaze becoming serious.

He knew that comprehending the Law of Destruction to perfection was only the first step; the real challenge lay in its integration.

The simplest approach is to combine two separate principles.

However, having already integrated two laws, the difficulty of integrating a third is far more complex than simply adding one to one.

Meng Chuan and Yan Qing began to attempt the fusion of the third perfect law, and the two of them stood on the same starting line.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the center of the cave, with the Heaven-Opening Axe and the God-Slaying Spear floating in front of him.

He closed his eyes, focused his mind on his body, and began to try to merge the newly perfected Law of Destruction with the already fused Law of Power and Law of Slaughter.

However, he immediately felt immense resistance upon attempting it. The Law of Force and the Law of Slaughter had deeply merged together, forming a stable structure.

The Law of Destruction, as a completely new force, is extremely difficult to integrate into this already stable structure, much like trying to embed a new stone into solidified concrete!

"No wonder they say the more laws you combine, the greater the difficulty..."

Meng Chuan thought to himself, but he was not discouraged.

He patiently tried again and again, using his divine sense to guide the Law of Destruction, carefully approaching the two merged laws, attempting to find a point of entry.

One year, two years, three years...

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years...

Time slips away amidst constant attempts and failures.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Meng Chuan's forehead.

His face also turned somewhat pale.

Each failure would impact his spiritual sense, feeling as if he had been hit hard on the head with a heavy hammer.

But he didn't give up and persevered through gritted teeth.

He knew that in order to gain a foothold in the Prison of Myriad Realms, to find Houtu, and to protect himself and those around him, he had to continuously improve his strength!
