Such a mysterious space instantly piqued Qin Chen's interest. He understood that this place was definitely an extremely terrifying spatial area.
To know, the spatial rules he currently mastered were inherited from the Emperor of Void Annihilation, who had once battled the Emperor of the Underworld and almost killed him.
If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor of the Underworld came from the Underworld and had a unique divine soul method to preserve a remnant soul, it's hard to say that in that battle, the Emperor of the Underworld wouldn't have perished alongside the Emperor of Void Annihilation.
Even though the Emperor of the Underworld ultimately left behind a remnant soul, he was still trapped by the secret realm formed by the spatial origin after the Emperor of Void Annihilation's death. If Qin Chen hadn't gone there and obtained the Emperor of Void Annihilation's inheritance to free the Emperor of the Underworld, that remnant soul would have been gradually obliterated.
However, even possessing the spatial inheritance of the Emperor of Void Annihilation, Qin Chen still couldn't see through the spatial fluctuations here, which shocked him deeply.
It was possible that he couldn't clearly discern the spatial movements due to insufficient cultivation, but regardless, the power of the spatial rules here definitely surpassed the transcendent level.
At this moment, Qin Chen activated the origin of space within him and continuously analyzed the spatial fluctuations in front of him. The more he analyzed, the more astonished he became.
The profundity of the spatial folding and flow was deceptively simple at first glance, but when Qin Chen operated the origin of space to analyze it carefully, he discovered the terrifying nature of the spatial operations, with the depth of the rules giving him a dizzying sensation.
However, to Qin Chen's surprise, after perceiving for a while, he vaguely began to see some clues. This allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief; if he couldn't discern anything at all, it would have been truly terrifying. He might have had to turn back, but now, he managed to catch a hint, albeit just a hint, which at least meant he could slowly clarify the rules governing these spatial operations.
As long as he figured out the rules, the spatial operations here could be unraveled.
With this in mind, Qin Chen hesitated not at all and immersed himself in the analysis of the spatial rules ahead, dissecting them bit by bit.
These spatial rules were extremely intricate, resembling a tangled mass of threads twisted together.
The clues Qin Chen had discovered seemed to be like finding a single thread, through which he could slowly untangle the entire ball of yarn.
This process, though simple to describe, was incredibly tedious. After several hours, Qin Chen still only grasped a very small part of the operational rules, causing his expression to darken. At this rate, how long would it take to thoroughly understand the rules here?
It was at this moment that Qin Chen finally realized why the King of the Forest of the Underworld had been in control of the demon king's pool for so many years yet still hadn’t discovered the source of the pool.
Earlier, Qin Chen had thought that with the strength of the King of the Forest of the Underworld, even if the spatial rules here were complex, he could eventually consume enough time to understand the spatial trajectories.
After all, a powerhouse at the level of the King of the Forest of the Underworld would certainly have some understanding of spatial rules, as the formation of the eternal order domain itself required an extremely profound spatial framework.
But now, Qin Chen comprehended that the complexity of the space here was such that a being at the third layer of transcendence with only a certain understanding of spatial rules would perhaps spend countless years without fully grasping it.
This was because the spatial rules here were constantly changing.
When you dissect part of it, the spatial configuration shifts again, and you have to start over.
