The moment Ace's eyes turned white, he found himself among countless colorful particle clouds arranged in various shapes and giving off unique pressure and aura.

'T-this is the essence of the Mortal Sky Laws? I can feel familiarity with some of these dust-like particles, like that hazy black ground particles arranged in a silhouette-like shape should be the law of shadow and that purple-blue particles in the shape of bolts are lightning and thunder…

'But the number of laws I know is a mere drop in this ocean. I never thought there would be so many laws…' Ace's eyes shimmered with astonishment. He never expected to witness such a scene; it was like witnessing the origin of the world.

'I don't have time to admire this scenery. I only have a minute. Damn it, if the system had told me about the true effect of this elixir, I would've been more prepared.' Ace was extremely frustrated.

'I can either comprehend a new law up to the initial stage, raise an already comprehended law to the intermediate stage, or focus on the already advanced law to try comprehending a mystic ability with only a five percent chance of success…' Ace mused as his eyes bolted through those laws surrounded him.

His eyes suddenly stopped on black ethereal particles that seemed to be vanishing and reappearing. They were shaped like black holes and stuck out of other laws as if they were supreme among them. His heart raced, 'Space law!'

However, his look shifted to the particles next to the space law, and he was shocked since this scene was hard to describe as those white ethereal particles were like a spiral that seemed to have endless mysteries and depth.

Furthermore, Ace felt his mind pulled into that spiral like a law, and he suddenly felt like he was falling into a paradox. Something jolted his mind at this moment, and he quickly snapped out of that state.

A hint of fear appeared in his heart as he quickly averted his eyes, but his heart was trembling with ecstasy and disbelief because he had some clue what that law was.

'T-time! It's the law of time! The most mysterious and hardest law to comprehend, even more so than space! And now I have a chance to comprehend it directly to the initial stage!' Just thinking about it made Ace giddy, and his heart raced with greed as he instantly wanted to select the time law!

However, he quickly became sober because he knew that even if he comprehended the intent of time, it might not help him much against the Heavenly Mortal Emperor. Unless he could raise it up to 99.99% and then awaken a mystic ability, only then could he show the true terror of time law.

Not to mention he didn't have time, he wasn't confident he could pull something like this with law like time. He was even struggling with space law all this time, and time law was even more difficult.So, he quickly gives up on it, but he vows to comprehend it if he gets the All Law Elixir again!

Ace's attention shifted to a particular direction where he had previously sensed an extremely familiar law. It was milky white particles shaped like sword blades, giving off a razor-sharp aura as if they could cut through anything. It was the sword law.

With a momentary hesitation, Ace's eyes shimmered with resolution, 'This is the most practical way to increase my fighting prowess to the limit. I need to comprehend the Sword Heart!'

As if something obeyed Ace's will, the moment he fully decided to comprehend the sword law, his vision suddenly pulled towards the sword law particles clouds and completely entwined within. He suddenly forgot about everything and felt like he had turned into a sword himself.

Then, he began to experience the journey of a sword, which started with its forging under a blacksmith's hammer. Then a swordsman bought it from the blacksmith, and this was the start of a sword's journey…

'A sword only knows how to cut, whether it's flesh or stone, mountain or river, sky or earth… Its destiny is to cut or break while cutting… but this is the destiny the swordsman bestowed upon it. Did anyone ask the sword what it wanted to cut, or was it its only purpose?

'Only a sword knows the answer, but its creator never grants it a mouth to speak when it is born, and an old sword has already lost its infant innocence… ONLY a sword knows the heart of a sword…'

Ace's stoic voice, without any emotions, buzzed in his head like a raging storm when he suddenly opened his eyes to the golden landscape beside the milky white waterfall.

The whiteness in his eyes faded at this moment. However, a white glimmer appeared, and his body suddenly released an extremely sharp aura as his robes flattered.lightsnovel

A phantom of a vague sword appeared behind Ace before it seemed to absorb into his chest, where his heart was located. His sharp aura continued to climb until the golden heavenly Qi on the horizon started to churn.

The next moment, an ordinary grade-1 sword suddenly appeared in front of Ace. That sword suddenly slashed toward the sky with no aura or Qi behind it; it appeared as a casual slash.

However, the next moment, the golden heavenly Qi mist in the sky suddenly spit apart, creating a huge slit. But the golden heavenly Qi quickly filled the gap as if nothing happened.

'So, this is the mystic ability of Sword Heart; not only can I control any sword with my mind without using any Qi or trick, but I can even use sword intent without using any Qi. I can slash through anything now as long as someone doesn't know how to counter Sword Heart. What a terrifying mystic ability!' Ace's eyes shimmered as the surrounding aura vanished, and he appeared like a sheathed sword.

But the grade-1 sword continued to float in front of him, and Ace could even feel a vague, peculiar sensation from it like never before.

At this moment, before he could further understand what was happening, the system voice suddenly rang.

=====

[Congratulations, host, for comprehending the Sword Law's 1st Mystic Ability: Sword Heart (Initial Stage: 1% Authority)]

---

[Congratulations! Your Sword Law has reached 100% Element Law Proficiency!]

[You now have the option to break through into Law State with Sword Law!]

=====

"What's this supposed to mean?" Ace was startled as he quickly asked since he was under the impression he couldn't go through without fulfilling the mission first. Furthermore, he still needed an elemental orb to break through, so this notification was confusing.

This subtle reply dumbfounded Ace, 'Just what is law state? I'll find out once Eva is done with her breakthrough! Right now, I should quickly use an Epiphany Pill and this momentum to comprehend the First Realm of Heaven Sundering Sword Secret Technique, Sword of Mortal Heart!'

He was about to take out the epiphany pill when another unexpected voice rang in his mind, "How unexpected! You have comprehended the Sword Heart when you were so far away from it. I thought you wouldn't be able to achieve it even after you entered the Law State. It appeared I have selected a good master."

It was the old voice of the violent ocean sword! Ace was surprised.

"You awake? Does this mean you recovered? And you seem to know about the Sword Heart and even how far I was from it. Yet you didn't say anything?" His eyes narrowed. He didn't think this sword knew about the sword heart before, but now it seemed he had underestimated a spirit treasure.

"Not just me. No one can help you in the path of the laws except yourself, or your future prospects will be limited once you rely on someone else. And I haven't recovered; I was awake by the unique aura of sword heart." Violent Ocean Sword calmly replied before it suddenly made a frightening request: "Let me enter your heart, and I can recover much faster!"
