Chapter no.61 The Trials of Law part 1

[ POV Change ]

[ Astral Void Realm ]

Lin Lingtian couldn't believe what he had found .

Each Law was a piece of a puzzle that seems to be connected .

After comprehending 7 laws , he quickly saw this pattern .

Each Law complimented one another as if they were connected somehow .

As he began to connect one law with another

Lin Lingtian found himself in trials projected by the Laws of the World .

.....

[ Trial of the Essence of the Law of Darkness and Light ]

Lin Lingtian's eyes were swiftly covered by darkness. That darkness was extremely pure, not only did it disable one's sight, it even disabled one's touch.

Darkness. This was the world of darkness without a trace of light or a trace of noise. The entire world was just like before creation occurred!

One cannot describe with mere words the torment that a man experiences in this type of environment. In that darkness, one did not even know if one existed.

.....

In the dark world, time seemed like it was endless. A figure walked aimlessly in the darkness, just like a sadhu and it seemed like he would never stop…

A long time seemed to have passed, one year, two years… five years…

Lin Lingtian had lost all concept of time. Being in this endless darkness, he had panicked before and he had despaired as well. After all, this place was the most terrifying prison in the world!

However, after panicking and despairing countless times, Lin Lingtian's mind began to turn increasingly calm and vicissitude. Eventually, he even forgot his own existence. In the darkness, a figure slowly walked on.

.....

In the darkness, time slowly passed; Almost a hundred years.

A figure slowly walked in the darkness. His footsteps was always the same, without a millimetre in difference. He seemed to have forgot about himself, forgot about the darkness, forgot about everything.

"As I walk in the darkness, I have learnt the truth about the abyss . For darkness will always remain! "

In the darkness, this thought stealthily spread out. That figure, which had walked on endlessly, actually began to slow .

The instant that figure slowed down, suddenly, amidst that never-ending darkness, a glow suddenly extended from behind that figure before it finally reached its feet. Based on this sight, it seems like as long as he turned around and stepped onto that light, he could finally break free of this never-ending darkness.

That light stopped on that figure's feet, before he lowered his head and stared at that light, which he had not seen for a while. Light suddenly flowed into his hollow eyes. Then, a calm gentle smile suddenly appeared on his lethargic youthful face .

The Light twisted and turned into a majestic palace filled with women that would tempt the heart of any mortal man with their Heavenly beauty .

It was as if the Light was telling Lin Lingtian that if he stepped into that palace , everything will be his .

Lin Lingtian continued to stare for a few seconds and then turned his head to the side as he began to walk into the darkness of the abyss , not tempted by the illusions of Light .

" You think mere illusions will tempt my heart .'

That figure gently smiled. Contained within the tone of his voice, was actually a vicissitude sensation. However, he did not turn around and walk towards the light, instead he courageously headed towards the darkness.

Just as he took a step forward, the light behind him instantly crumbled. Then, the darkness began to distort, before it exploded with a loud crack just like broken glass.

When that darkness exploded, a warm glowing sensation emerged. Darkness transformed into a beautiful starry night sky. Then, that figure stepped into that star-studded night sky. In front of him, two runes twisted around one another as they silently hovered in mid-air.

These two runes were the true Law of Darkness and Light .

Two sides of the same coin .

.....

[ Trial of the Law of Nether ]

Lin Lingtian found himself standing in one side of the scales of justice . He turned to see a giant of thousands of meters standing in the void itself . The Giant looked like Anubis as the upper part of the ankh's cross emerged from the shoulders of the giant .

( A.N : Imagine this )

( ~ Whoosh ~ )

A pair of chains flew out the platform that Lin Lingtian stood on and wrapped around his body as Lin Lingtian couldn't even see the speed of these things .

( ~ Whoosh ~ )

Green flames began to form on the other scale of justice .

Lin Lingtian's platform began to rise up as the green flames outweighed Lin Lingtian's scale.

The Giant Anubis opened his mouth as a voice a man , woman , child and elder emitted out of his snout .

{ Have you ever stolen ? }

Lin Lingtian's mouth subconsciously opened as he said ," Yes ."

{ For the sin of theft , your right hand will be sacrificed }

( ~ Whoosh ~ )

Before Lin Lingtian could even blink , his right hand was chopped off leaving a stump behind as blood dripped on the platform he was standing upon .

Lin Lingtian gritted his teeth as tried to endure the pain as green flames engulfed his right hand that had turned into a stump .

( ~ Whoom ~ )

Lin Lingtian gritted his teeth as he felt his right stump carbonised .

The scales of justice began to shift as Lin Lingtian mind figured out the trial of the law of nether . He has to pay for the sins he has committed .

....

{ For the Sin of Pride , You will be punished }

Lin Lingtian's spine was pierced by black rods as his spine was broken in the order of the 24 mobile segments of the spine .He would never be able to walk with a prideful back .

.....

{ For the Sin of Wrath , You will be punished }

Lin Lingtian's left hand were broken as he would never be able to use his hand to inflict his wrath on anyone .

...

{ For the Sins of Envy , you will be punished }

Each of his Eyes were first scooped out and then his eye sockets were sealed shut by black hooks .

Lin Lingtian realized that this trial not only involved his sons but also the sins of the previous Lin Lingtian .

Lin Lingtian eyes were shut so that could never watch others with envy and be jealous of the accomplishments and possessions of others .

...

{ For the Sin of Gluttony , you will be punished }

Lin Lingtian's pharynx was crushed disabling him to ever enjoy the indulgence of resources as he was punished for the previous Lin Lingtian's gluttony .

A black disembodied hand formed infront of the chained Lin Lingtian as the hand touched his crushed pharynx and with a jerk of his hand , his crushed pharynx was ripped out .

.....

{ For the Sin of Murder , you will be punished }

This punished was quite brutal as Lin Lingtian found that due to the previous sins being washed his body became oversensitive and with the pain of the previous sins a normal person's mind would have been broke as they would never be able to rest in peace , they can never sleep and be always trapped in an eternal damnation with insanity , nothingness and chaos accompanying him but Lin Lingtian was not normal as he took a deep breath and sat in a lotus position , gold made out the emotions of all the people he had killed began to pour on his skin .

His mind began to experience each emotion of everyone he had killed with his own hands .

.

.

.

{ For the Sin of Hatred , you will be punished }

.

.

.

.

{ For the Sin of Manipulation , you will be punished }

.

(~ Whoosh ~ )

The Scales of justice had formed a balance as Lin Lingtian had payed for all the sins he had and the previous Lin Lingtian had committed .

Sitting in the platform was a extremely Injured corpse as his body was filled with lacerations , carbonised skin , no eyes , no hands and no feet .

The pain Lin Lingtian was experiencing would drive any normal man insane .

But he had done it , he had survived the trial of the essence of the Law of Nether .

An ancient rune began to float down to Lin Lingtian as his injuries began to revert back to the time he was completely fine .

[ Your sins have been washed by the trial of nether .Receiving the reward of law of nether .

Lin Lingtian took a deep breath , he had overcome the trial of the Law of Nether and now he needed to survive the other primary Laws .

.....

( A.N : Personally I thought the way the laws in the original TDG were obtained was kinda underwhelming since in the lore a being that was much more stronger then prime supreme rank Nie Li in Nie Li's own words , you can go back and read it if you don't believe me . So I decided to put in these trials or challenges Lin Lingtian has to pass to gain the essence of the laws . What do you think ? Give me your thoughts in the comments .

P.S : The Primary Laws are Fire , Wood , Snow , Lightning , Wind , Chaos , Earth .

The Auxiliary Laws are Space and Time , Primal Chaos , Yin , Yang , Death , Life , Darkness , Light

All other laws are combinations or bits and pieces of auxiliary and primary Laws combined such as Law of Hell => Law of Fire + Darkness + Yin e.t.c. ]
