Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I m dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 1020: Comprehending the Rule of Death
Editor: Henyee Translations

In the bizarre realm of life and death, marked by only black and white, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan lost all sense of time, fully immersing themselves in this tremendous opportunity.

 

The power of life and death manifested distinctly in each of them, causing their auras to undergo unbelievable transformations.

 

In the deathly stillness of the life and death realm, the only changes occurred around Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

In the immaculate white domain, streams fell vertically, plummeting nine thousand miles directly onto Shen Ruyan, where she absorbed and comprehended the incredibly pure force of the rule.

 

In the deep black domain, black lines emerged as if rising from the netherworld, connecting to Jiang Chengxuan. These too were infused with extremely pure forces of the rule.

 

At this moment, the presence of the rule of death in Jiang Chengxuan’s Five Elements Samsara World had become significantly evident. The entire world of the Five Elements Samsara turned ink-like, mysterious and profound, with the night stretched exceedingly long, seemingly endless.

 

However, in this domain, life had not ceased; the vast powers hidden within the black soil awaited their moment to burst forth.

 

Jiang Chengxuan had now comprehended ninety percent of the death rule, understanding countless forms of life termination under the display of the death rule.

 

The fall of beings, the silence of life, the obliteration of matter, the collapse of stars, the disintegration of worlds, the erosion of power, the shattering of souls…

 

Jiang Chengxuan witnessed all transformations related to the rule of death from the beginning of time to the present day.

 

Whether living or non-living, grand or minute, Jiang Chengxuan drew from each their rule of death, witnessing their demise and destruction.

 

This insight was profoundly mystical; under the influence of the true meaning of death, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes turned a pure black, filled with a cold, profound aura.

 

Shen Ruyan’s condition was similarly transformative.

 

Her eyes had become pure white, radiating a compassionate yet impartial essence—akin to the indifference of heaven and earth, treating all beings equally.

 

In the grand scheme of the Dao, all existences are equal, devoid of emotional bias, especially true for the Dao of life and death.

 

Under the manifestation of the rule of life, Shen Ruyan’s aura of the Five Elements Divine Thunder became dazzlingly brilliant, almost too brilliant to gaze upon directly.

 

Within that brilliant thunder light seemed to resonate the essence of all growing things, a powerful force of incessant creation.

 

Contrasting sharply with Jiang Chengxuan’s experiences, Shen Ruyan witnessed the birth of various existences.

 

The formation of stars, the growth of all things, the birth of living creatures, the explosion of power, the derivation of souls, the condensation of matter…

 

Every change related to the rule of life, no matter when or where it occurred, was observed by Shen Ruyan, who comprehended the rules contained within.

 

Rumble!

 

At a certain moment, an overwhelming intent to destroy burst forth from Jiang Chengxuan, as he manifested the rule of death, instantly affecting the entire realm.

 

After a long period of comprehension, Jiang Chengxuan had finally fully grasped the rule of death. Feeling the surge of a powerful new aura within him, his eyes blazed with a tyrannical and resolute light.

 

Now possessing three grand Dao rules, Jiang Chengxuan was confident that, faced with Daolord Southbright again, he could suppress him outright.

 

Previously, at the peak of the Dao Mastery, he could contend with a Daolord; now, with the terrifying rule of death added, he could suppress any ordinary Daolord.

 

Such a formidable advancement could not help but stir Jiang Chengxuan’s spirit.

 

Gradually subduing the rule of death, Jiang Chengxuan looked towards Shen Ruyan, who was now enveloped heavily by the rule of life, the two indistinguishably merged.

 

This scene undoubtedly signified that all was proceeding well, and he believed that soon, Shen Ruyan would also fully comprehend the rule of life.

 

At that time, her strength would also undergo a terrifying enhancement, and together in the immortal cave abode, they could truly dominate.

 

However, after a brief respite, Jiang Chengxuan knew that this opportunity had not yet fully concluded.

 

This realm of life and death contained the rule of life and death, and only by fully mastering both aspects, complementing each other, could one attain true terror.

 

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan chose not to rest but sat down again to meditate, his world of Five Elements Samsara brimming with the aura of death once more.

 

If only one of the life and death rules is mastered, it could impact other rules because both the rule of life and the rule of death are extremely extreme forces.

This was why Jiang Chengxuan needed to comprehend both life and death rules.

 

The combination of life and death brings about transformations that are greater than the sum of their parts.

Life within death, and death giving rise to life, complement each other, allowing one to maximize the potential of their own rules.

 

Jiang Chengxuan took a deep breath, and the power of the death rule once again erupted dramatically. The black rule shot up into the sky, crashing into the immaculate white realm above.

 

Rumble!

 

Instantly, this act stirred the entire realm of life and death, causing continuous disturbances.

The place where the black rule of death touched the white realm reacted violently, as if the white realm was provoked, surging down to suppress.

 

The power of the rule of life surged towards Jiang Chengxuan’s rule of death, confronting this dangerous moment.

However, Jiang Chengxuan strategically retracted his death rule, making a retreat gesture.

 

Consequently, the power of the white realm pursued along the path of the retreating death rule.

 

This sequence was deliberately facilitated by Jiang Chengxuan.

Instead of directly comprehending another rule and then integrating it, he chose to use the rule of death to trigger the rule of life, initially merging them externally through life and death, then promoting the growth of the rule of life from death.

 

This approach is undoubtedly quicker than slowly comprehending both rules separately and then integrating them, but it also carries higher risks.

 

Yet, Jiang Chengxuan, confident in his current strength and understanding of the realm of life and death, believed he could complete this process, swiftly mastering both rules to achieve a fusion of life and death.

 

In the void, under Jiang Chengxuan’s deliberate provocation, the rules of life and death collided, creating a world of mixed black and white chaos, with visions of the cycle of life and death emerging.
