Chapter 559: Falling Leaf Palm
In this battle between the Law of Fusion and the Law of Primal Chaos, Xia Fei slowly began to feel that he lacked the power to achieve what he wanted.
The battle between man and monster continued, and Xia Fei relied on his speed and nimble physical agility to fight. Even when he was going up against the Demon Chrysalis before, Xia Fei did not have such a tough time like today.
The spatial barrier of the Demon Chrysalis was much thinner, and Xia Fei was able to strike it again and again with the disruptive power of the Law of Primal Chaos together with his Wildstorm fist technique, until he shattered its defenses completely.
However, against this monster, Xia Fei needed to mount a strenuous a.s.sault.
The power of his attack at full force was great, but it had a slower rate of being dished out; by the time Xia Fei gathered the Law of Primal Chaos for the second strike, the spatial barrier of the monster had already regenerated, so Xia Fei’s repeated strike could go through the first layer but he was unable to injure the monster.
Tightening his brows, Xia Fei realized the predicament he was in. There were only two paths for him to take; he could escape back into the Law of the Ternary Spectrum’s restriction boundary and give up on killing his enemy or continue this stalemate.
Giving his enemy the chance to take a breather? Any experienced warrior would not do that. The monster was not in its peak state at the moment, so once it recovered, Xia Fei would probably have to pay an even higher price just to kill it!
Enemies must die!
Xia Fei’s maniacal mentality reared its head once more. Even though Xia Fei felt helpless dealing with the monster right now, he could only persist, not at all considering backing down.
If a day was not enough to kill this, then he would take a year! The point was that he would not let an enemy off!
The battle waged on as time flew by. In the blink of an eye, twenty-four hours had pa.s.sed, and the state of the fight was still the same as before.
This was the fight between the Law of Primal Chaos and the Law of Fusion, and it was also a contest between their stamina!
Whoever succeeded in enduring until the end would be victorious!
Xia Fei’s energy was being rapidly used up due to his repeated use of the Law of Primal Chaos, needing him to rely on plenty of Origin Crystals to recharge. He had used up to a thousand grade 3 Origin Crystals in the span of the twenty-four hours of fighting!
The monster was getting more and more irritated, becoming more and more impatient, while Xia Fei was becoming filled with glee.
He realized that overusing the Law of Primal Chaos enabled him to increase his control of it greatly, and it was as if he was improving during the battle, gaining new insights every minute that he fought.
That indistinct power of his was gradually becoming clearer, as if a galaxy in countercurrent was swirling in his seventh brain region.
Xia Fei had always been adding just a bit of the power from the Law of Primal Chaos to his attacks, and without the guidance of an expert, trying to master a law was very difficult, not to mention that this was an overwhelmingly powerful law.
Though Xia Fei had managed to raise the Law of Primal Chaos to level 2 through sheer hard work, this increase in level did not mean that he had a complete grasp of its power.
Trying to make the Law of Primal Chaos as his dominant law and exerting the full power of its disruptive force was extremely grueling, and the first problem he faced was his lack of any martial arts technique.
Martial arts technique was not merely a skill used in combat but also the apt.i.tude in maximizing the power of the law.
Take the Chain Blockade martial arts technique that Xia Fei often used; it would naturally draw the law force found in his brain when unleashed during battle, and the central the attack skill he used, the higher his cultivation of the relevant law, and the more powerful the martial arts technique would become.
Xia Fei barely had to do much work, since the martial arts technique and the law would automatically complement each other when used.
However, the Law of Primal Chaos was different. It was a type of force that existed in his brain. Just like a brawny man who had not studied martial arts, there was no doubt that he had strength, and no normal person would be able to beat him.
However, the moment such a brawny man matchup against an expert with martial arts experience, even if the expert could not hold a candle to the brawny man in terms of strength, he would still emerge victorious since that decides the victory, beside experience and strength, was technique!
This was the situation that Xia Fei was in right now. Just having strength alone but unable to maximize its fullest potential. As the fighting grew, Xia Fei had even greater control over his Law of Primal Chaos, but his technique with it was still stagnant.
*Bang!*
Xia Fei threw a fist out, attempting to use his palm and flip, all in hopes of finding a way to utilize the Law of Primal Chaos.
‘That effect’s not bad; let’s go again!’
He was slowly finding a foothold in his exploration of the Law of Primal Chaos. Xia Fei entered a trance in his research toward the principle of the Law of Primal Chaos, as well as how he could unleash the law force in his brain in an appropriate manner.
Phantom of course could sense these all, too. He was somewhat stunned, no longer continuing to nag at him to avoid disturbing Xia Fei’s clarity.
It was evident that Xia Fei was trying something new, a self-created technique!
It must be mentioned that what was known as martial arts techniques were essentially the fruits of labor of top masters’ unending research. These Law Adepts with profound cultivation would spend years thinking about how best to maximize their law force to their greatest potential, and it was nothing as simple as coming up with stances and postures.
Xia Fei barely had spent more than a handful of days learning law, yet he actually wanted to create his own technique?
Phantom would have already ridiculed anyone else if they made such an attempt, but Xia Fei was different. Phantom knew Xia Fei’s foundation very well and how he could change the impossible into possible. This was something that he had always done.
*Whoosh*
The monster’s sharp claws swung near Xia Fei’s body and sank into the ground, barely injuring Xia Fei. Since Xia Fei had devoted all his focus on studying the Law of Primal Chaos, the fight was becoming even more hair-raising. The same situation would keep appearing every time.
‘Just what sort of power is it?’ Xia Fei pondered to himself.
Like its name, the Law of Primal Chaos’s power was very chaotic and very murky. It was completely different from the Law of s.p.a.ce as its comprehension was open. By guiding its force through the meridians of the body, it was capable of tearing apart the very s.p.a.ce itself!
Murky and obscure, seemingly invisible. Xia Fei expended countless brain cells just trying to understand the Law of Primal Chaos.
It was clear that the power existed, and its law force was stored in Xia Fei’s seventh brain region, but this power was very illogical!
Xia Fei attempted to draw it out via his moves, but no matter how hard Xia Fei tried, the power just remained in his seventh brain region, not at all willing to come out. Like a chaotic fog, Xia Fei could only control a minute amount of chaotic law force from when he first learned it until now.
This was when Xia Fei’s inhuman patience began to show itself, his intransigence toward giving up allowed Xia Fei to try and try again and again.
As long as it was a possibility that he could come up with, Xia Fei would try it.
First he tried guiding it, but this disruptive law force ignored him.
Next he tried dominating it, but this disruptive force refused to bend to his will; instead, it put up a fierce resistance,nearly causing his brain region to suffer a second heavy injury.
Law force was born, nurtured, and resided in the seventh brain region. This mysterious and small s.p.a.ce actually gathered plenty of functions within, and anyone could not help but have plenty of emotions toward it.
Xia Fei had a 100% open brain region, and after cultivating two different special abilities and two kinds of law, his seventh brain region was still a vast empty s.p.a.ce. The Law of Primal Chaos was like a mischievous child who was playing hide-and-seek with him inwardly, running about, leaving him completely helpless to its whims.
Having a 100% open brain region ought to be something that all warriors should be envious about, but to him, it had instead become a burden. This overly vast region of his brain made it difficult for Xia Fei to control.
Obsessed, Xia Fei concentrated on his brain region, while his physical body relied on his innate reflex. Fortunately, Xia Fei’s Crafty Approach had already been cultivated to the point where it was deeply rooted and inseparable to him. Against the monster’s continuous a.s.sault, he was able to barely keep himself alive.
This danger was not lost on these Beast Kings and Furball. All of them watched with bated breath, which went to show just how perilous the situation was.
This was not to say that Xia Fei had let his obstinacy get the better of him, but that Xia Fei was intentionally doing this.
During a battle, fighting by the skin of his teeth and dancing on a razor’s edge helped fire up a warrior’s potential. Xia Fei had intentionally put himself in harm’s way, all for the sake of that final sublime breakout!
If one did not die when faced with danger, then they could have explosive and spectacular achievements! Xia Fei was just that sort of maniac!
Recalling every time he used the Law of Primal Chaos, searching for the crux within, Xia Fei’s physical self danced with the devil as his mind began to a.n.a.lyze and contemplate carefully.
‘This can’t go on.’ was what Xia Fei told himself.
The Law of Primal Chaos was clearly a power that was so great it defied logic and the heavens. There must definitely be a way to use it!
Even if he could not unleash its full power, he must find the crux of it!
Xia Fei could not emerge victorious from merely using that bit of its disruptive force. The universe was vast, with plenty of enemies abound. There was no telling when he would come across an unimaginably powerful foe, and being unable to defeat this monster today was Xia Fei’s first warning. It was a warning of how merciless the nature of the universe was.
‘Since the Law of Primal Chaos is a disruptive power, why don’t I subvert my inherent form of thinking?’ Xia Fei thought to himself.
That was when Xia Fei felt an idea come to him.
Attack was a way to force his strength toward the enemy and unleash his power to strike down the enemy.
Since the Law of Primal Chaos was a power that subverted and disrupted, its use must also be a break from the conventional!
His palm lightly shot forth—a soft move that had no strength behind it.
*Bang!*
A miracle happened!
That seemingly soft and strengthless blow actually created an inexplicable effect!
The spatial barrier of that monster shattered instantly!
*Kaboom!*
The monster staggered. Xia Fei’s soft palm strike actually pushed it several dozen meters back!
It should be made known that this was a gigantic monster which weighed in the tens of thousands of tons!
A soft palm could actually make it stagger several dozen meters back? Just what sort of power was needed to achieve that?!
“Xia Fei, you succeeded! That’s the true Law of Primal Chaos!” Phantom exclaimed.
Xia Fei was very astonished with himself as well. He had just discovered the profound subtlety to the Law of Primal Chaos. It turned out that the more he wanted to use the disruptive force, the more it would resist. Thus, when he attempted to use a weak strike, that chaotic force instead heeded his call!
Furball and the eleven beast kings of the rainforest were all shocked!
Xia Fei had actually gotten into a very precarious state in his fight with the monstrosity, and it looked like he was about to be defeated.
It was at that moment when he was in the utmost danger that Xia Fei actually unleashed a completely brand-new power, and every blow heavily struck the monsters!
Forget that the seemingly light attack of his seemed like even a fly could not be struck dead; anyone who underestimated it by any account would most definitely receive the heaviest of blows!
*Smack smack smack smack!*
His palm made contact with the monster’s body like falling leaves. That savage monster, which was a fusion of a Law Emperor and two humungous ice spiders, became no more than putty in Xia Fei’s hand, letting him slap it around. This was a complete 180 turn to the scene moments ago!
Standing about a hundred meters apart, the monster panted heavily. It looked at Xia Fei with rage-filled eyes, its vision completely filled with panic and unease.
A torrential rain suddenly whipped up which covered the entire rainforest.
In this heavy downpour, Xia Fei arched his brow, giving off the look of an expert.
With the haze from before gone, the time for him to turn the tables was now!
“Great palm technique! Give it a name! After all, you’re the one who came up with it.” Phantom cheered in his elation.
“I’ll call it Falling Leaf, then,” Xia Fei answered softly.
