A sharp light flashed in Aiden’s eyes.

It was clear that these undead had been wandering the Ancient Battlefield for a long time. After absorbing the aura of this place year after year, a tiny trace of the Law of Death had formed inside their bodies.

Without any hesitation, Aiden released his powerful soul force and pulled the fragments into his palm by force.

Buzz—!

The moment the fragments merged into his soul, Aiden’s whole body trembled.

It felt as if a tightly shut gate in his mind, one that led to the heavens, had been quietly pushed open by the smallest crack.

At that moment, his understanding of the world’s fundamental laws truly deepened a little.

Even if it was only a tiny bit, it was enough to drive any top Reclasser stuck at a bottleneck completely mad with desire.

"As expected, this is the only place where I can reach level 100 and begin the divine ascension tribulation as fast as possible."

Aiden slowly opened his eyes.In his deep pupils, the endless black forest in the distance was reflected.

He did not stay any longer.

His dark-gold Legendary Rank robe snapped in the cold wind.

Like a god of death walking through hell, Aiden stepped into the Battlefield Forest without looking back.

It was a place filled with endless danger and endless opportunity.

...

Aiden walked over the burned black ashes on the ground and officially entered the depths of the Battlefield Forest.

The air here felt as heavy as lead, making it hard to breathe.

On every black, dead tree trunk hung dried corpses and torn spiderwebs.

"No wonder this place is called a forbidden zone where anyone below level 90 is almost certain to die."

Aiden sensed the thick death energy all around him.But his eyes only grew brighter.

The tiny trace of the Force of Laws he had absorbed earlier had allowed him to fully understand the secret of the Ancient Battlefield.

Over countless thousands of years, countless gods and Demon Gods had fallen here.

After they died, their bodies turned to dust, but the Force of Laws within their Inner Spirits gathered into fragments and scattered across this land.

The undead creatures here had spent year after year devouring those remains. Over time, faint law crystals naturally formed inside their bodies.

"Out in the outside world, countless level 99 Great Venerables can beg and search for a hundred years without even touching the edge of the laws."

"But here, Law Fragments have actually become farmable drops."

A cold, almost feverish smile appeared on Aiden’s face.

To others, this place was a battlefield where death was almost certain.

But to him, a Legendary Rank Reclasser with ultimate Magic Mastery, this was clearly an untouched treasure trove.

"Since I’m here, I might as well enjoy the killing."

Before he even finished speaking, the space around Aiden suddenly twisted without warning.

Rumble—!

The ground shook violently.The dull thunder of hooves rolled in from every direction like a storm in the sky.

Hundreds, even thousands, of Skeleton knights in broken heavy armor charged out of the black mist, riding skeletal warhorses with ghostly fire burning in their eyes.

Behind them, dozens of undead mages in black robes raised their bone staffs high and chanted dark, vicious curses.

In midair, several huge ghost lords let out piercing Spirit screams.

Invisible soul shockwaves came slicing toward him like sharp blades.

This was a carefully planned ambush meant to kill him in one strike.

If any ordinary level 90 Venerable faced such a deadly attack from all sides, they would have died on the spot.

But Aiden did not even blink.

He only raised his right hand slowly.His long fingers lightly snapped in the air.

"Burn."

The single word left his mouth, and reality obeyed.

Boom!!!

Within several thousand meters, the temperature shot up to a terrifying level in just a hundredth of a second.

The dazzling Divine Golden Sunflame, so bright it could not be looked at directly, exploded outward from Aiden like a golden tsunami reaching from earth to sky.

This was not a battle at all.It was a one-sided massacre with no suspense.

"Roar—no!!!"

The Skeleton knights charging at the front, riders and horses alike, were vaporized into thin smoke the instant they touched the golden flames.

The undead mages behind them did not even have time to cast defensive magic before their black bones shattered piece by piece in the golden light.

As for the arrogant ghost lords in the sky, they let out heartbreaking screams of pain.

Their proud soul bodies were completely countered by the holy golden fire. They were as fragile as melting snow under the blazing sun, and were wiped out in an instant.

It was total destruction.

Nothing could stop him.

In less than ten breaths, the high-level undead army spread across the forest was completely wiped out.

The once dark and gloomy Battlefield Forest had been forcefully cleared by Aiden, leaving behind a golden empty zone several thousand meters wide.

When the golden flames slowly faded, only a thick layer of ash remained on the ground.

And within that ash, Law Fragments shone with a fascinating glow.

With a thought, Aiden released his vast soul force. It turned into an invisible giant hand and swept up every fragment.

He ignored the system notifications that were flooding his vision with experience gains.

Instead, he immediately pulled the fragments into his body.

The undead had devoured many different kinds of remains while they were alive, so the fragments they dropped also contained many different types of laws.

Buzz—!

As a large number of fragments rushed into him, Aiden’s soul strength began to rise wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In his mind, the gate leading to godhood was being forced open, bit by bit.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, Aiden moved through the Battlefield Forest like a tireless killing machine, crushing everything in his path.

More than a hundred high-level boss undead had already died under his Divine Golden Sunflame.

When he finished absorbing the last batch, Aiden suddenly opened his eyes.

Whoosh!

A black light as deep as the abyss and a flash of blood-red killing intent crossed in his pupils. The pressure around him was so strong that it tore tiny cracks in the surrounding space.

"My understanding of the Law of Slaughter and the Dark Laws has reached 99.9%."

Aiden slowly clenched his fists, feeling the world-destroying Strength inside him that was on the edge of a true transformation.

He was only one step away from fully mastering the laws at 100%.

Only one step away from starting the legendary the divine ascension tribulation.

He stood up, his eyes burning like torches, and continued toward the deepest part of the Battlefield Forest.

Half an hour later, Aiden suddenly stopped.

The view ahead opened up.The black trees were gone, replaced by a huge underground rift.

On the cliff walls of the rift were countless shining lights, packed closely together like stars.

It was an entire exposed, untouched vein of Law Fragments!

The law aura there was so rich that it gathered above the rift into a colorful aurora.

Just taking one deep breath, Aiden felt his stalled understanding of the laws loosen slightly again.

"As long as I absorb this whole vein, I can definitely break through the level 100 barrier!"

Aiden’s eyes instantly burned with heat, but greed did not cloud his mind.

Because right beneath that brilliant vein stood a massive throne made from countless skulls.

And seated on that throne was a terrifying figure over thirty meters tall.

It wore a broken suit of dark-gold imperial armor and held a giant heavy sword wrapped in thick death energy.

As Aiden approached, the figure slowly raised its head.

Under its helmet, two blood-red soul flames suddenly flared up and locked onto the intruder.

Boom!!!

A terrifying pressure, far stronger than that of any monster before, swept through the entire rift like a level-ten hurricane.

Crack, crack, crack—

The rocks on both sides of the rift shattered and collapsed under that suffocating aura of death.

Above level 95!

Wraith-King!

This was no ordinary Abyss monster. It was a true overlord that had mastered the Law of Death to an extremely high level.

Faced with a pressure so terrifying that even James, the War God of the Great Shaw Empire, would have been forced to retreat, Aiden did not take even half a step back.

Instead, the fighting spirit in his eyes erupted like a volcano.

This was not only a challenge.It was also the perfect chance for him to become a god in one step.

He slowly raised his right hand.A Legendary Rank staff, giving off a wave of world-ending power, appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The staff pointed straight at the Wraith-King on the throne.Aiden’s cold and proud voice echoed through the entire rift.

"Your life, and this whole vein."

"I, Aiden, will take them all!"

The moment Aiden finished speaking, he released the power he had been holding back without any restraint.

Boom!

The terrifying magic power of a Legendary Rank Reclasser turned into a storm almost solid enough to touch, crashing hard into the throne of bones.

"Roar—!"

In the empty eye sockets of the Wraith-King, the blood-red soul flames suddenly exploded with rage.

It had been completely angered by the challenge of this ant-like human.

It suddenly rose from the throne, and its thirty-meter-tall phantom body rapidly shrank and condensed.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a five-meter-tall Skeleton giant with dark-gold bones.

The broken heavy sword in its hand also changed under the power of the Law of Death. Its outer layer peeled away, revealing a pale, savage-looking giant bone blade.

Thick death energy wrapped around its body like black water.

The terrifying pressure of a top overlord above level 90 filled the rift, making the very air groan as if it could no longer bear the weight.

Facing such frightening power, Aiden had no intention of testing it first.

"The dead should stay buried in the ground."

He gave a cold laugh and slammed his staff heavily against the ground.

Then he unleashed his full power.

The dazzling Divine Golden Sunflame burst out of his body and shot into the sky, instantly lighting up the dark rift as bright as day.

"Roar—!"

Endless golden flames gathered rapidly in midair, turning into a golden fire dragon hundreds of meters long.

The fire dragon let out a deafening roar. Carrying heat strong enough to burn mountains and boil seas, it charged at the Wraith-King with its claws and fangs bared!
