Pocket Hunting Dimension Chapter 1330 - Break Through In All Laws
Previously on Pocket Hunting Dimension...
Time marched forward relentlessly. Twelve months later, a lone bronze vessel lay anchored near an desolate, forgotten planet.
Locked within the cabin, Lu Ze and his companions were deep in their cultivation routines. A deluge of spirit force poured from the void, cascading into their physical forms. The very fabric of space warped and rippled in their proximity.
Lu Ze exhaled sharply, a broad grin spreading across his face.
Inside his inner world, the formation of complex laws was nearing completion. Every dao rune associated with his god arts had reached peak intensity.
His internal realm hummed with the flow of near-perfect laws, mirroring the vast universe itself, save for that final, crucial transition.
The moment had arrived to ascend to the status of an emperor.
His internal gaze locked onto the glowing golden sphere hovering within his consciousness.
It represented the absolute threshold for crossing into the emperor level. Previously, a mere touch had flooded his mind with profound law knowledge, pushing his god arts to the zenith of dao rune comprehension.
If he triggered it again, he would finally grasp full authority over the laws.
Indeed, Lu Ze had resolved to elevate all his god arts simultaneously.
Although achieving the emperor rank through space law alone was feasible, such an emperor would lack the absolute supremacy of one who mastered every law.
Shortly after, the eyes of the girls fluttered open. Nangong Jing studied Lu Ze intently. “How is it? Are you prepared to advance?”
Lu Ze gave a firm nod. “And you lot?”
Qiuyue Hesha offered a gentle smile. “We still have a small distance to cover, but if we tap into the fluctuations of your breakthrough, we might grasp the laws as well.”
The others echoed her sentiment.
“Then, let us begin the final preparations.”
“Right here?” Lu Li questioned.
Lu Ze deliberated for a brief second before answering, “I will examine the barriers one last time.”
Lu Ze remained uncertain about the scope of the phenomena he might trigger upon reaching the emperor tier.
While his mastery of space law might suffice to contain the impact, he decided to bolster the defenses with several extra layers of protection, just to be safe.
They gathered in the central living area, bringing Ying Ying along for the task.
Together, they unleashed their god arts to weave a complex web of defensive barriers.
Though their god arts rested only at the threshold of becoming true laws—a significant gap from the real thing—the sheer density of their unified effort proved immensely resilient. With the defenses solidified, they retreated to the sanctuary of the cultivation room.
Lu Ze settled into position, his mental focus diving into the shadows of his inner dimension. He manifested once more before the golden sphere.
Quieting his mounting agitation, Lu Ze extended his hand and pressed it against the orb.
‘Buzz…’
A cascade of golden brilliance erupted, drowning his awareness in a torrent of raw, law-based energy.
The inner mysteries of countless laws materialized before him, instantly captivating his senses.
After an indeterminate period, the reality surrounding Lu Ze shuddered violently. A blinding, infinite radiance surged from the void, enveloping Lu Ze and the girls, rapidly expanding outwards.
It surged toward the reinforced barriers before finalmente coming to a halt.
At that same instant, the secrets of various laws etched themselves into the minds of the resting women.
Their chi surged, surging upward to pierce thin air toward the emperor level.
Across the room, Ying Ying remained in her bed, watching the spectacular light show with wide, bewildered eyes.
She was confused. Why hadn't the breakthrough put her to sleep this time? Had her unique heritage finally finished its process? Ying Ying’s eyes gleamed with mischief. Now, Lu Ze could no longer pilfer her snacks while she was caught in a deep slumber!
She scampered out of the room, swiftly retrieving a controller to dive into her favorite games.
Meanwhile, the Elders and the rest of the sect were rendered speechless. Having witnessed Lu Ze’s status as a cosmic lord previously, the nature of this dramatic ascension was undeniable to them all.
They were absolutely certain that if Lu Ze succeeded, the Human Race would ascend to the ranks of an emperor race.
The prospect was dizzying in its glory.
They felt so overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the event that they completely neglected their own meditation.
Within the golden light, Lu Ze felt his comprehension of numerous laws plummeting to ever-deeper reaches of reality.
Finally, the long-standing bottlenecks shattered. His god arts condensed into primitive, elegant runes. These symbols harbored infinite power and depth—these were source runes, the core manifestation of law essence.
The runes sank into his inner world, merging seamlessly with its foundations.
‘Rumble!’
The internal dimension groaned, expanding at a terrifying velocity. As it grew, Lu Ze felt his own strength climb toward heaven. In that singular heartbeat, he ascended to become the absolute creator of his inner world, a realm that now stood indistinguishable from the true universe.
The sensation was nothing short of miraculous.
Empowered by this breakthrough, the girls also sensed the underlying force of the laws, causing the cosmic phenomenon to intensify further.
Throughout the entirety of the universe, ethereal illusions manifested and runes drifted like snow through the void.
Every living soul in existence was left reeling in disbelief.
High within the Land of the Stars, the Star Spirit Emperor was transfixed, an expression of profound shock etched across his face.
“This… are these truly source runes? Has he really done it? Has he reached the emperor level? How could this even be possible?!”
Barely a year had passed since Lu Ze and his group had reached the cosmic lord state!
He had calculated they would require at least ten thousand years of effort to approach such a pinnacle. Yet, they had accomplished the impossible in a single year?!
Deep in the silent void of the Insectoid Tide, the Insectoid Mother snapped awake. These very same source runes were manifesting even within the walls of her hive.
“Someone… has climbed to the emperor state?!”
“Wait, why are there so many source runes? Have multiple individuals ascended simultaneously?!”
“Is that… the source of destruction?!”
Her confusion spiked as she recognized that familiar, dark rune.
Any expert reaching the emperor state traditionally mastered a singular law. How could there be so many now? Were there dozens lurking out there? Even more disturbing, she had long claimed the source of destruction as her own—why was it surfacing here? Had every law in the known universe been claimed at once?
She found herself utterly bewildered.
But clarity returned as quickly as it had left.
“Now! Whoever this is, they will be at their most vulnerable during the threshold of ascension. I must locate this newborn emperor immediately!”
This individual must hold a monumental secret to harness such a variety of laws. It could even be connected to the realm beyond! Furthermore, an emperor wielding this level of mastery would be far too dangerous. If he stabilized, the current emperors would have no hope of contending with him. She had to eradicate him, even if that meant failing in her own attempts to steal his power!
Abandoning all attempt at caution, she signaled her hive: “Children, leave nothing standing!”
“Hiss!” A chorus of insectoid shrieks tore through the void.
The aura of destruction radiating from the Insectoid Mother spiked, and she vanished from her position.
Moments later, the Mechanical Emperor opened his eyes and abruptly flickered out of existence as well.
The Heaven Emperor, the Divine Empress, and the Elemental Emperor were awakened in turn.
Sensing the encroaching presence of the Insectoid Mother and the Mechanical Emperor within the Barren Realm, they engaged their travel techniques without a moment of hesitation.
Observing the exodus, the Star Spirit Emperor let out a long, heavy sigh. “What is destined to occur will eventually find its path.”
He, too, dissolved into the ether. Within moments, six figures had converged on the Barren Realm. The entire sector fell into a suffocating, heavy silence.
A sudden, bestial roar shattered the stillness.
The sphere at the heart of the Barren Realm flickered to life. A gargantuan, hideous beast appeared partially, only to be held back by glowing chains of law that prevented its full manifestation.
The Insectoid Mother sneered. “To what do I owe the pleasure of your intrusion?”
The Mechanical Emperor replied coldly, “Cease the stalling. This being slaughtered my race’s queen last year. He belongs to me.”
“Ha…” the remaining emperors scoffed in unison.
The Heaven Emperor spoke up. “It is an open secret that activating this many source runes—including the very paths we have mastered—is completely unnatural. This newcomer is far too volatile. Whether for the sake of universal stability or our own interests, he must be brought to heel.”
The Elemental Emperor let out a dry, mirthless laugh. “Enough empty words. I simply seek the path to the beyond. As long as you share the secrets to ascending further, I do not care whose hands he ends up in.”
The Divine Empress tilted her head in elegant agreement. “Agreed.”
“The Star Spirit Emperor will not attempt to interfere, I trust?”
The Star Spirit Emperor offered a faint smile. “Be honest with yourselves—can anyone actually sense the chi of this newborn emperor?”
The inquiry hit them like a physical blow; their shock was immediate.
Their expressions shifted into ones of deep, mounting unease.
They possessed the power to detect emperor-level signatures across the entirety of the Barren Realm. Yet, as they searched, they found absolutely nothing. Not a trace of his energy remained.
What had happened to him?
