# Chapter 1: Law Destroyers Must Master

For example, Azure Steel Shadow, Soul-Severing Shadow, Azure Shadow King, Absolute Magic Constitution, etc. These are abilities that Law Destroyers awaken and master during their initiation or upon reaching a certain level of growth.

What truly records many abilities that Law Destroyers can selectively master is the "Inheritance Stele."

One issue is: should those "Supreme Abilities" with absurdly high intensity and extremely dangerous mastery be recorded on the "Inheritance Stele" or the "Awakening Stele"?

After deliberation, the Ancestral Law Destroyers once believed that recording them on the "Inheritance Stele" would be too problematic. The abilities on this stele are generally mild, yet suddenly raising the difficulty to ultimate nightmare at the Supreme rank would be too unfair to future inheritors. Especially if the Law Destruction Faction encounters an accident, temporarily goes silent, and skips a generation of inheritance—that would be even worse for the inheritors.

After discussing among themselves, a group of Ancestral Law Destroyers began observing the "Awakening Stele." Aha? Mastering Azure Shadow King is also quite dangerous, not to mention Demon Spirit Awakening, Demon Spirit Summoning, Time·Dominator, Devouring Annihilation Constitution—each one is a heavyweight.

The Ancestral Law Destroyers slapped their thighs in realization. Safe abilities were all assigned to the children's table, i.e., the "Inheritance Stele," while these dangerous ones were all served at the adults' table, i.e., the "Awakening Stele."

At the bottom and middle sections of the "Awakening Stele," various necessary inherited skills were recorded. As for the large empty space at the top—fellow colleagues, don't be stingy with your Supreme rank abilities, put them all up there. Of course, safe but average-powered abilities were all inscribed on the children's table (Inheritance Stele).

Thus, all of the Law Destruction Faction's Supreme rank abilities—the most powerful in intensity but also the most dangerous—were inscribed onto the "Awakening Stele."

The bigger problem was that Su Xiao was completely unaware of this. From his perspective, these were simply the "Supreme Passives" of the Law Destruction system—powerful but high-risk.

Furthermore, he didn't feel that these abilities were problematic. His line of thinking was: as long as his own physique was strong enough, he could master these "Law Destruction Supreme Passives" with low risk.

For now, set a goal: after reaching 450-500 points in all Supreme attributes, attempt to master the first "Law Destruction Supreme Passive." For every subsequent increase of 80-100 points in all Supreme attributes, master another one. This way, there wouldn't be too much risk.

If the Ancestral Law Destroyers knew about Su Xiao's absurd plan, they would inevitably fall into collective silence, because... this plan was actually very feasible. The problem was that reaching 500 points in all Supreme attributes was an exceptionally outrageous feat.

Su Xiao activated the "Power Source" ability. He felt his heart grow hot, and moments later, ten types of "Supreme Passives" disappeared from his skill list. When the Power Furnace reached its critical point, "Power Source" entered its second stage, using the crimson energy refined by the Power Furnace to form a unique mark.

Hum~!

The vortex mark absorbed a large surge of pale golden energy. This was "Star Realm Source Power." He used the "Power Source" ability to absorb it, thereby nourishing himself.

Several hours later, all the "Star Realm Source Power" had been completely absorbed. He steadied his breathing, and a notification appeared.

[All your Supreme main attributes have been permanently increased by 100 points.]
[Your technique potential cap has increased by +500.]
[Your Abyss Resistance has increased by +40 points.]

...

[Notification: Your overflowing Supreme Health Points have reached 50 million points. You will condense another "Life Core."]
[Number of Life Cores: 3/3.]

...

Su Xiao had originally thought that the two "Life Cores" shattered earlier today would take 50 hours, or two days, to recover. But now, with a new "Life Core" formed, his Life Core status had returned to its peak.

Not only that, but his unhealed physical injuries were also recovering at an extremely fast rate. Beyond this, there was one more crucial notification.

[Notification: Your Supreme Mana Points have reached 30 million points. Your overflowing Supreme Mana Points currently provide no additional benefits (no related abilities mastered).]

Any powerful being had limits. Su Xiao reaching 30 million Mana Points was already absurdly outrageous. As for the overflowing 8.2 million Supreme Mana Points, they hadn't disappeared. Instead, they formed a blue crystal mass near his heart, pulsing with each heartbeat.

For Supreme Peaks, reaching the body's energy limit and forming a "Second Heart Core" was said to represent years of immersion in this realm. Su Xiao strongly disagreed with this statement because, counting it all up, he had been promoted to Supreme Peak for less than a month.

What "requires precipitation" to form a "Second Heart Core"? Ultimately, it was because the physique wasn't strong enough. This so-called "Second Heart Core" was simply the natural formation after bodily energy overflowed.

As for the purpose of the "Second Heart Core," it was an "Ability Seed." In Paradise faction terms, it was a skill mastery prerequisite.

There were two such skills on the "Awakening Stele," namely:

[Supreme Soul (Supreme Passive): Use your own Second Heart Core to form a "Supreme Soul Mark." Permanently consume overflowing bodily energy to permanently strengthen your own soul, i.e., permanently increase Soul Strength.]

[Ultimate·Azure Shadow King (Supreme Passive): Use your own Second Heart Core to form an Azure Shadow King Core. Permanently consume overflowing bodily energy to increase the Azure Shadow King Core's capacity. This core initially contains 100 points of "Azure Shadow King Energy," which recovers slowly. When it reaches full capacity, you can immediately enter the Azure Shadow King state, consuming 1 point of "Azure Shadow King Energy" per second.
Ability Warning Label: An overly powerful Azure Shadow King carries the risk of losing control. Prolonged maintenance of an excessively powerful Azure Shadow King state will begin "Demonization."]

[Notification: If you choose the "Ultimate·Azure Shadow King" ability, your current Azure Shadow King Energy will undergo adaptive promotion. This promotion carries risks and requires payment of 210,000 to 250,000 ounces of Space-Time Power (depending on the current situation). After this promotion, you must select one body attribute as the core attribute of Azure Shadow King. While Azure Shadow King is enhanced by this attribute, it will also provide a unique feedback boost to this body attribute.]

...

Two choices, really no need for further discussion. The core issue now was whether Su Xiao's current Supreme Stamina attribute of 402 points could withstand the risk of mastering "Ultimate·Azure Shadow King."
