Wu Shen, a special life form favored by the universe, was born to fuse nine principles and become an ultimate Ruler.

Although the statue of Wu Shen in the Red Cloud World was only a scale of Wu Shen, it still contained the essence of the fusion of nine different principles. Jian Wushuang had spent a long time comprehending the statue of Wu Shen, after comprehending the Earth principles, he also had some understanding of the fusion of the Earth principles and the other three principles, but he had not been able to truly fuse them.

But now, when he fought with Ancient Chaos Star Master, Jian Wushuang felt a lot of things from his saber techniques. This made him more and more clear about the path of the fusion of the four principles. Jian Wushuang even felt that…he was about to completely integrate the four principles.

But suddenly —

Ancient Chaos Star Master, who was attacking Jian Wushuang with his saber, stopped what he was doing.

He stopped in midair.

“Huh?” Jian Wushuang was stunned.

He felt that he was about to break through and integrate the four principles. But at the critical moment, Ancient Chaos Star Master stopped.

“What are you doing, Ancient Chaos Star Master?” Jian Wushuang frowned and looked over.

“Blood Sword Master, you are not weak. With the principle true treasure Divine Sword, you can completely block my saber techniques. I can’t kill you at all. If we continue to fight, it will be a waste of time and might attract other experts nearby. In that case, why do we have to fight again?” Ancient Chaos Star Master said directly.

Jian Wushuang had a strange look on his face.

Of course, he knew what Ancient Chaos Star Master meant. Since they could not do anything to each other, there was no need to waste time fighting.

But he was different. He had gained a lot from the fierce battle with Ancient Chaos Star Master just now. He was even sure that as long as Ancient Chaos Star Master fought with him for a while, he would be able to fuse the four principles, but Ancient Chaos Star Master stopped.

Jian Wushuang had no choice. He could not tell Ancient Chaos Star Master that he was seeking a breakthrough with the help of his opponent’s saber technique, right?

If that was the case, Ancient Chaos Star Master would most likely leave without saying a word.

“Blood Sword Master, goodbye.”

Ancient Chaos Star Master did not stay any longer and left.

Jian Wushuang was helpless, but he did not force him. Moreover, after the fight just now, he had a clear understanding of the process of fusing the four principles.

Now, he felt that if he found a place to meditate, he might be able to perfectly merge the four principles.

“Although the Eternal Dark Prison is full of killing, only the strong and fearless top experts can find a place to live and meditate. As for most of the prisoners, they don’t dare to stay in one place for too long. Instead, they often wander around the dark areas. However, I already have a clear route to merge the four principles. It doesn’t take long to merge the four principles, so they won’t be disturbed midway,” Jian Wushuang muttered.

He was not afraid of being targeted, nor was he afraid of being killed. What he was afraid of was that he would be interrupted at the most critical moment of the integration of the principles, and then all his efforts would be wasted.

However, the probability of that was not high.

Immediately, Jian Wushuang found a relatively remote mountain nearby and opened a temporary cave mansion in the middle of the mountain. Then he began to cultivate in the cave mansion.

In the cave mansion, Jian Wushuang sat with his legs crossed. The power of four different principles slowly rose from his body.

Unfortunately, the Eternal Dark Prison was too harsh. The power of principles contained in the surrounding void was very thin. The power of principles that rose from Jian Wushuang did not resonate with the surrounding heaven and earth.

“Four principles…”

Jian Wushuang’s eyes flashed. “Let’s begin!”

Jian Wushuang began to fuse the principles according to the path he had in mind.

Time passed, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year, Jian Wushuang gradually fused the principles of the Earth with the other three principles according to the path he had in mind.

The process was smooth, and the fusion of the four principles was finally coming to an end.

“It’s done!”

Jian Wushuang suddenly opened his eyes with a hint of excitement in them.

On the surface of his body, the four principles of Temporal, reincarnation, destruction, and earth had perfectly fused together, complementing each other.

The power of heaven and earth that Jian Wushuang had mastered increased again.

But soon, Jian Wushuang’s face turned gloomy again.

“No!

“I don’t feel any signs of a breakthrough?”

Jian Wushuang could not help but clench his hands and frown deeply.

In the Divine Beginning Realm, or even in the entire vast universe, an ordinary Principles Master who had fused four principles could naturally break through to become a Ruler.

This was common sense. Many Rulers that Jian Wushuang was familiar with, for example, had directly broken through to become a Ruler after fusing four principles.

But now, he had also fused four principles. In other aspects…his comprehension of the sword principle origin had long surpassed that of most third-level Rulers. He had even grasped a trace of the universe principle, in terms of absolute arts of sword techniques, he was far more tyrannical than ordinary Rulers.

Logically speaking, he had completely fulfilled all the requirements of breaking through to become a Ruler.

However, he did not feel any signs of breaking through to become a Ruler.

At first, he thought it was because he was in the Eternal Dark Prison, where the cultivation environment was extremely harsh, and there was no way for him to become a Ruler.

But he immediately shook his head and denied it.

“The harsh cultivation environment will only make me unable to make a breakthrough to a certain extent. It’s not that I don’t feel like I have made a breakthrough at all. It’s obvious that I can’t make a breakthrough at all. To be exact, I don’t meet the requirements to become a Ruler.” Jian Wushuang clenched his teeth.

He was unable to break through.

Even though he had already fused with the four principles and met the requirements to become a Ruler, he was still unable to break through.

He was already mentally prepared for this.

After all, he was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a special life form, and a perfect-grade special life form.

In the vast universe, although special life forms were blessed by nature, they were also restricted by the universe.

The universe was fair.

Compared to ordinary cultivators, special life forms had many innate advantages, but this also created special life forms. It was much more difficult to break through bottlenecks than ordinary cultivators.

For example, Shen Wu was blessed by the heavens. He was born with the ability to fuse the nine principles and become the ultimate Ruler, but it was extremely difficult for Shen Wu to reach the peak.

For example, although the undying netherspirit was not a special life form, it was still the most terrifying pinnacle race in the universe. The undying netherspirit was extremely heaven-defying, but it was also extremely restricted by the universe.
