In the 700,000th year, Roy's soul strength reached six hundred times that of a higher deity. The enigmatic "Earth-walking Technique" became Roy's third perfect fusion of five other esoteric laws.
As the fusion of these laws progressed, the difficulty increased exponentially. However, Roy possessed a "technique" to enhance the essence of his soul. This allowed his soul's quality and quantity to elevate over time. Consequently, the speed of fusing the esoteric laws remained consistent.
For the inhabitants of the Panlong World, the most challenging aspect of esoteric laws was finding the "point of resonance" where these laws initially fused and reaching the bottleneck of complete fusion.
However, due to the explosion of knowledge from Roy's past life and the countless inspirations from novels and anime, he had countless "spiritual insights" at his disposal. These constantly aided Roy in sorting through and finding the points of resonance for the esoteric laws and breaking through the bottleneck of their fusion.
After eighty thousand years in seclusion, Roy's soul strength reached seven hundred times that of a higher deity. The "Power of Life" esoteric law fused with the other five laws.
In the nine hundred thousandth year, Roy's soul strength reached eight hundred times that of a higher deity. The "Power" esoteric law also flawlessly fused with the other five laws.
By the millionth year, Roy's soul strength had surpassed that of an ordinary higher deity nine hundred times. Only a tiny strand was needed to complete the fusion of the "Earth's Pulsation" esoteric law with the other five.
Inside the cultivation room on the Lotus Rock Island, Roy maintained a state of "unity between man and nature." Within his soul space, the six kinds of Earth laws frolicked like mischievous children.
It was evident that the five laws representing "gravity space," "earth elements," "earth-walking technique," "power of life," and "power" could perfectly fuse with each other.
However, when it came to the "Earth's Pulsation" law merging with the others, there was a slight discord, causing disturbances in the entire Earth law during its surges.
With each surge, Roy could sense that the slight disharmony lessened bit by bit.
Finally, after an unknown duration, the last trace of disharmony vanished.
In an instant, Roy felt his soul exceptionally clear. All the esoteric aspects of the Earth law had no secrets within his mind. The six esoteric laws merged perfectly into a more robust and complete Earth law.
It seemed as though this was the original form of the Earth law. The previous six esoteric laws merely formed the cornerstone of the Earth law. Only through their perfect fusion could the true "Earth law" emerge.
"Hum..."
The laws of heaven and earth descended...
...
The arrival of the laws of heaven and earth naturally didn't go unnoticed by the people on Lotus Rock Island.
However, those farther away didn't pay much attention to who ascended or advanced.
On Lotus Rock Island, such occurrences were quite common.
However, the three remaining six-star elders of the Four Divine Beast Clan were genuinely shocked.
"Is that where Lord Roy was in seclusion?"
Ivan looked towards the place where the laws of heaven and earth descended, murmuring.
"Yes."
"But, inside the Lord's mansion, including Elder Roy, Chris, Lord Gaffer, Lord Edel, Lord Marshall, and the island's military, all are higher deities. Did someone else have a breakthrough with another divine incarnation?"
"Regardless of who made the breakthrough, let's go take a look. If someone broke through near Elder Roy's seclusion, it's a great disrespect. Disturbing Elder Roy's cultivation requires punishment."
"Okay."
After exchanging glances, Ivan, Timothy, and Brittany soared into the air, landing a few seconds later at the location where the laws of heaven and earth descended.
However, upon seeing where the laws of heaven and earth had descended, the three of them widened their eyes, incredulously gazing at the spot.
"This, this is Elder Roy's place of seclusion?"
Landing softly outside the cultivation room, the three of them dared not breathe loudly. Their shock was evident and couldn't be concealed.
At this moment, besides the three of them, there were also Chris's water elemental divine incarnations, Gaffer, Edel, and Marshall.
However, the three of them assumed that other divine incarnations of Lord Roy had undergone a breakthrough.
But Ivan and his companions knew better.
They were familiar with Sherry and learned from her that Elder Roy had only one earth elemental deity incarnation. More importantly, they knew that because of the soul golden bead given by Sherry, Elder Roy had advanced prematurely to become a higher deity and had crippled his original potential as a 'Great Perfection,' relegating him to a seven-star demon.
It took him over a hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation to become a powerful being on par with the clan leaders of the Four Divine Beast Clan.
However, the fusion of esoteric laws was incredibly difficult, several times more challenging for higher deities than for intermediate deities.
Basically, everyone had little hope for Elder Roy's advancement to the Great Perfection.
Yet unexpectedly, within a little over a million years, Elder Roy broke through.
This was standing at the pinnacle of countless gods, the invincible Great Perfection...
In the presence of any non-Great Perfection higher deity, encountering a Great Perfection was no different from encountering a main god...
...
"Hum..."
Maintaining the "unity between man and nature," Roy's soul was instantly enveloped by the laws of heaven and earth.
With this surge of the laws' help, Roy's soul's essence continuously elevated.
Furthermore, in this "unity between man and nature" state, Roy's soul harmonized remarkably well with the laws of heaven and earth. The speed of his elevation was akin to riding a rocket.
Nine hundred and ten times...
Nine hundred and twenty times...
Nine hundred and thirty times...
...
Nine hundred and eighty times...
Nine hundred and ninety times...
One thousand times...
In just a dozen breaths, Roy's soul strength astonishingly reached one thousand times the strength of an ordinary higher deity's soul.
As Roy's soul broke through to one thousand times, he suddenly felt an additional ability within himself.
The fluctuations in the surrounding space were vividly displayed within Roy's soul.
Moreover, Roy seemed to have an absolute "control" over everything around him.
This was the power of Will!
A dual-soul mutation, capable of merging two types of divine powers. The fused divine power and soul power were both ten times that of an ordinary higher deity.
With a triple-soul mutation, the ability to merge three types of divine powers emerged. The merged divine power was enough to rival the use of different main god powers, while the soul power was a hundred times that of an ordinary higher deity.
