Chapter 204: Rule Power: Action and Reaction

The Soaring Mantises kept flying out of the sea as if the sea could continuously produce them. Wei Huo kept killing as countless Soaring Mantis corpses fell on the mountain.

The corpse mountain grew taller and taller until it reached Wei Huo’s feet. Wei Huo stepped on it and started a massacre. As he killed, he used the corpses to make a stairway.

Thanks to having this as a reference point, Wei Huo understood that this small world was not big. He was only 300 meters away from the sea. Wei Huo kept killing, and the pile of stairs kept getting higher, although the piling process slowed down.

It would take one about 10 minutes to build a three-meter-tall pile of soil, but it would take a few hours to build a six-meter pile. The higher the pile, the more time it would take.

Despite Wei Huo’s strength, it took him dozens of days to reach the top level. Wei Huo threw a punch and finally broke through that level.

He then leaped and broke through the first level to the second level.

The second level was completely different from the first level. The first one was pitch-black with only the starry sky and the sea. However, the second level was filled with light.

Wei Huo passed through two layers of soil and arrived at the second level. He then saw a peach tree forest. Sunlight scattered down from the sky and lit up the second level. A breeze blew, and the leaves swayed gently.

Wei Huo took a few steps forward and saw a small pool of water. There was a wooden plaque outside the pool, and the words ‘Fountain of Unaging’ were written on it.

Wei Huo understood that this was the reward for passing the first level!

He walked over and felt the abundant Qi in the pool. This was spring water that was useful for cultivators. It could replenish one’s Qi. If an ordinary person drank it, they would be revived and would even regain their youthful vigor to a certain extent. However, it was no longer useful to people at Wei Huo’s level.

Wei Huo took out a bronze gourd. It was a BUG-like treasure he had obtained a long time ago. It could be used to carry liquids, and its capacity was huge. It might be able to store a lake in it.

Apart from the bronze gourd, there were also hunting knives and other items. Only he and the first batch of artificial intelligence beings had these BUG-like items. There was probably a big lack of balance, but any players who came later were not rewarded with these items.

Wei Huo put away the Fountain of Unaging along with the bronze gourd. He saw a small wooden plaque at the bottom of the Fountain of Unaging. On the wooden plaque were the words ‘Peach Blossom Array’.

Upon seeing those three words, Wei Huo understood. It turned out that this level was an array. One had to crack the array to reach the third level.

However, System Number Two had given him a notification. Kunlun Mountain had to be built layer by layer.

Wei Huo clenched his fists and threw punches at a peach tree. As soon as his terrifying strength came into contact with the peach tree, a similarly powerful force collided with Wei Huo’s fist. When the two forces collided, a deafening sound was heard. The fist wind produced scattered and blew the dust and sand away.

Wei Huo took three steps back, but the peach tree’s leaves did not even shake.

Wei Huo frowned. “Rule Power?”

That was the Rule Power. Based on the naming style of the Mystic Yin Tribe, it should be called ‘Rule Power: Action and Reaction’. That was a rule that could reflect all forces. Wei Huo’s punch made all the forces rebound. There was not even a single difference. It was as if Wei Huo had exchanged a punch with himself.

At that moment, a breeze blew over and the leaves rustled. That was the Rule Power. The breeze could blow the leaves away, but Wei Huo’s full-power punch could not even shake the peach tree.

Wei Huo extended his finger and tapped his glabella. An endless aura of nirvanic extermination spread out from his glabella and rushed toward the peach tree. However, all the aura of nirvanic extermination was repelled a moment later. It seemed like not only strength was affected. Any attack would be repelled.

The aura of nirvanic extermination was useless. The power of laws was indeed not something that could be broken by domain power.

The peach trees grew densely, but there were places where one could pass through. The Peach Blossom Array was actually a maze. Even with the help of the Rule Power, Wei Huo could not destroy the peach forest.

He thought about it and leaped into the sky. The surrounding peach trees grew wildly and attacked Wei Huo. He could not resist, as the peach trees could reflect all attacks.

He returned to the ground and thought about it for a moment before taking out the Black Bomb. This was a BUG-like item he had obtained before the game’s launch. It had Rule Power and could destroy any kind of wood. He had thought that it would be useless, but it was useful now.

Wei Huo lit the Black Bomb and placed it under a peach tree. He did not move away. He just stood to the side. A minute later, the Black Bomb exploded with a deafening sound. The peach tree, which looked like it had been placed in a woodcutting machine, was instantly shattered. Wood scraps flew everywhere and scattered with the wind.

Wei Huo stood aside and did not suffer any damage. This was a nomological creature. Since it was supposed to only destroy wood, it wouldn’t harm anything other than that. It was very dedicated, but a little expensive.

Wei Huo took out an Epic-ranked soul gem and placed it in the Item Mall to trade it for Magical Stones. The Item Mall had been reformed. It was now called the Godfiend Mall, and it was divided into levels. Players who had not consumed any Magical Stones could only spend them in the Item Mall. They could only purchase goods at the secondary market after their cumulative consumption reached a certain amount.

It was impossible to purchase a Black Hole Generator at the beginning. However, Wei Huo’s Item Mall was completely unlocked. He could purchase anything as long as he had enough Magical Stones.

Wei Huo did not pay much attention. He started buying materials for the Black Bomb and continued manufacturing it. The Black Bomb was very specific. There were no pits in the ground after the explosion, but it could destroy three densely-growing peach trees at one go.

Wei Huo was not blowing things up randomly. He first placed a Black Bomb under the surrounding peach trees and used it to blow up the peach trees before soaring into the sky. However, after flying for over 10 meters, the peach trees in the distance started growing wildly. They extended above Wei Huo’s head at a faster speed and trapped him like a birdcage.

Wei Huo returned to the ground. It seemed like flying into the sky would not work. He had to crack the Peach Blossom Array.

Wei Huo thought about it for a long time and decided to pick up a few pieces of peach wood scraps. He realized that these pieces of wood still carried Rule Power, but not much of it. Wei Huo threw over 10 punches at a piece of wood about the size of a fingernail. The Rule Power disappeared, and the pieces of wood were shattered.

When Wei Huo put the pieces together, the Rule Power in the pieces was stacked. Wei Huo was shocked.

He suddenly had a bold idea.

If he combined the broken pieces of wood into a shield, wouldn’t it be akin to obtaining a shield that could reflect any attack?

Wei Huo looked at the peach forest and suddenly felt like he had seen a treasure. Normal people could not destroy these peach trees. The Rule Power was extremely powerful. Unless one advanced to the Mythical stage, one could not destroy the peach trees. However, Wei Huo had a Black Bomb!
