Although he was still far from truly unleashing the full power of the Embers of Nihility - Reversal Palm, at least now, Jie Ming had truly stepped onto the threshold of this Dao-Integration Divine Ability.
“Next, it’s a matter of constantly familiarizing and deepening my understanding of the technique.”
With that thought, Jie Ming did not leave the meditation chamber. Instead, he continued to sit cross-legged, cultivating and comprehending.
A few years later, in the meditation chamber, faint gray Law radiance flickered in and out of visibility.
Jie Ming sat cross-legged, his hands forming a seal. Spiritual power within his body flowed along a profound trajectory.
Deep within his spiritual sea, the Great Dao Book Pavilion stood tall, and countless Law symbols turned into a torrent, constantly being deconstructed and reassembled in his consciousness.
The spell model of the Embers of Nihility - Reversal Palm was gradually being perfected.
A pale gray radiance flowed slowly from his fingertips. Each flickering caused the space within a few meters to ripple with almost imperceptible undulations.
A speck of dust floating in the air would reconstitute into its original form, then scatter again.
At that moment, a familiar fluctuation of Incense Fire Divine Dao gently touched his soul.
It was the prayer of the Black Giant Priests, transmitted slowly through the Incense Fire Divine Dao into Jie Ming’s consciousness.
Jie Ming slowly opened his eyes. A gray divine light flashed and vanished deep within his pupils, and all surrounding Law fluctuations subsided.
After reading the communication, a faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
“Arrived? Quite efficient.”
He waved his hand to dispel the technique, sealed all the simulation data of the Embers of Nihility - Reversal Palm into the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, then rose and left the meditation chamber.

Infernal Sulfur Plane.
As the spatial teleportation array slowly closed, the dazzling silver-white light gradually dissipated.
Just as Jie Ming stepped out of the teleportation array, his pace paused slightly.
He unconsciously raised his head, and the next moment, even though he had been prepared, his gaze still froze for a few breaths.
“This sight… is more magnificent than I imagined…”
The information from the Black Giant Priests was simple: the materials Jie Ming had previously purchased had arrived.
Earlier, Jie Ming had witnessed the spectacular sight of materials piled into a planet outside the Infernal Sulfur Continent. But now, the scene before him was even more staggering.
Looking out, the entire void was almost completely filled with countless standardized cargo containers.
Each container was several hundred meters tall, like a mobile fortress. They were covered with the silver-black armor unique to the Star Ring Federation’s military logistics department, and densely inscribed with protection runes and gravity stabilization arrays on their outer walls.
Arranged neatly in standard orbits, layer upon layer, row upon row, they extended for hundreds of thousands of kilometers,
like a continent of steel quietly floating among the sea of stars.
Further away, spatial rifts were still opening continuously.
Large transport ships trailed pale blue flames as they slowly emerged from the shipping lanes, then dropped new containers into designated orbits. Looking out, it was like an endless torrent of steel.
Such a vast quantity of matter had already begun to affect the celestial phenomena of the entire Infernal Sulfur Plane.
Look up from the continent’s surface, and the star was clearly being slowly obscured by the boundless transport fleet.
Though Infernal Sulfur’s illumination didn’t actually rely on the star, a shadow still swept slowly across the sky.
The entire continent seemed to have entered a brief twilight in advance.
Jie Ming was silent for a moment, then gently exhaled.
“…The volume of these materials is more outrageous than I expected.”
Ever since the Blood Sacrifice Method came online, low-level military merits had been flooding into his account like a flood.
But when those numbers materialized into this sea of resources vast enough to cover the stars, the impact far exceeded any balance on a light screen.
Numbers were ultimately just numbers.
Only when they were truly piled into mountains could one realize how astonishing the wealth they represented.
However, this sentiment lasted only a moment. Jie Ming quickly regained his composure.
“My true body can’t be used for now, but fortunately, thanks to the increased mastery of my Laws, my new Dharma Aspect can barely take shape…”
Hum…
His Inner World trembled slightly.
A towering, dark-golden figure slowly materialized from the void.
As the 250,000-kilometer-tall Dharma Aspect took a step forward, hundreds of millions of kilometers of surrounding space seemed to quiver lightly.
A dense aura turned into a golden domain, spreading rapidly from him and covering the entire material storage area.
At the same time, the Black Giant Priests, who had been waiting for a long time, also began to take action.
Tens of millions of Black Giants were distributed among the containers.
The huge vertical openings on their chests opened and closed continuously, their deep, resonant divine chants interweaving, forming a command network covering the entire construction area through the Incense Fire Divine Dao.
“Zone Seven, start unloading.”
“All metals in this area are to be sent to Refining Ring One.”
“Send Void Crystals to the cooling zone.”
“Pay attention to the time window; do not break the seals early.”
Commands were transmitted one after another.
More Black Giants rose from the Infernal Sulfur Continent, streaking across the void in countless black streams, joining the transport lines.
There was not a hint of chaos across the entire construction site.
Everyone moved like a gear in a precision machine, operating at high speed under the unified coordination of the Incense Fire Divine Dao.
Seeing this scene, Jie Ming nodded in satisfaction. “The symbiosis between the Black Giant race and the Incense Fire Divine Dao is getting better and better.”
Then, he extended his right hand, and countless streams of data immediately flew out from his divine soul.
All the experimental parameters accumulated from the first batch of array-eye refining were fully retrieved.
The Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, the Destiny System, and the Incense Fire Divine Dao all connected simultaneously, and vast amounts of data poured into the Creation System like a waterfall.
Stellar force infusion rate…
Solar true fire containment layer thickness…
Law resonance frequency…
Critical gasification time of Void Crystals…
One by one, parameters were converted into standard instructions that the Creation System could recognize.
After a moment, the Creation System sent feedback through the Incense Fire Divine Dao:
[Data loading complete.]
[Starting automatic refining.]
With the prompt, the area Jie Ming had designated for refining suddenly lit up.
Rumble!
First, the crimson solar true fire was drawn from the storage warehouses. The sea of flame surged along tens of thousands of energy containment arrays, quickly forming a stable containment shell.
Next, a vast ocean of stellar force was slowly drawn out.
It gathered like a pouring Milky Way, continuously compressing under the solar true fire’s envelopment.
“Temperature reaching critical point. Begin feeding in the first batch of materials.”
With the Incense Fire Divine Dao’s prompt, countless arrays acted simultaneously.
Large blocks of alchemical metal, each the size of a mountain, were thrown into the sea of fire and rapidly melted under the power of the solar true fire.
Soon, a liquid star core was born in the center.
More super-metals flowed in as a dark-golden torrent, entering the star core to build the sturdiest Law framework for the entire array eye.
Then, a large amount of Void Crystals entered the smelting phase.
The crystals vaporized instantly but were firmly locked into a critical state between solid and gas by Law Stabilizers.
Like countless transparent blood vessels, they quickly filled every gap in the framework.
Next, various precious strategic materials were sequentially added according to precise time windows.
The entire refining process lasted several months.
Throughout, Jie Ming stood beside the refining area, constantly monitoring the situation.
Until the final batch of Spiritual Matrix was fully integrated into the array eye.
Rumble!
With a dazzling pillar of light shooting into the sky, the entire refining array slowly extinguished, and the void returned to calm.
A brand-new array eye floated silently at the center of the starry sky.
Golden and silver-white light interwove. At its core, a highly condensed star slowly rotated.
Light and heat spread outward continuously, illuminating every detail of the nearby material ocean.
The Creation System automatically ended the refining.
The Five Elements Rainbow Mirror next to Jie Ming immediately accepted the relevant information, and a light screen popped up:
[Array eye refining complete.]
[Quality: Perfect.]
[Material utilization rate: 99.98%.]
[Error: 0.000003%.]
Seeing this result, Jie Ming nodded slightly.
He could clearly sense that the quality of this array eye was much higher than the first one he had refined.
It seemed the Creation System was indeed becoming more mature.
Without lingering too long,
he drove his 250,000-kilometer-tall Dharma Aspect, directly “shouldered” the sun-sized array eye, and used the planar formation to teleport to the coordinate for the second array eye marked by the All-Heavens Star Grand Array’s simulation model.
“Well… since last time I gave the opportunity to the Tentacle Tree Civilization, next it should be the turn of the Dragonmen and the plant people.”
Thinking this, Jie Ming merged with the planar origin of the Infernal Sulfur Plane.
Rumble… The Laws of the entire plane trembled gently.
With the growth of his Law-Crystallization Domain, the process of merging with the planar origin was now much smoother than before.
The entire Law network of the plane soon came completely under his control.
“Activate the planar formation.”
At his command, two spatial pillars of light piercing through the starry sky rose suddenly.
In the distance, two life-bearing planets trembled slightly.
One was the planet assigned to the plant people civilization.
The other belonged to the Dragonmen civilization.
Guided by the plane-level spatial formation, the two planets slowly left their original orbits and space-jumped to positions next to the new array eye.
Thanks to Jie Ming’s precise manipulation, the entire migration process had no violent tremors.
Jie Ming continuously controlled the planar formation, fine-tuning the distances between the three celestial bodies. He ensured that their mutual gravitational pull would not affect the planets’ internal geological activity, keeping all three within a safe range.
Finally, with the last orbit calibration completed, all three celestial bodies stabilized simultaneously.
The newborn array eye at the center burned like a star, while the two life-bearing planets slowly revolved around it.
Standing in the void, Jie Ming looked at the new star system slowly turning before him. A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
“Next, I can begin batch refining of the array eyes.”
