Chapter 736: Law Integration versus Law Integration
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
When Law Overlord Xia Tian took off his spectacles, everyone noticed that his two eyes had turned blood-red and his appearance had turned savage.
It was truly a world of difference!
With his gla.s.ses, Law Overlord Xia Tian looked just like a sophisticated scholar; every move he made gave off a sense of refinement and suaveness. However, Xia Tian without his gla.s.ses looked just like an uncompromising monster, the cultured aura around him disappearing in a flash as black smog emitted from his body and shrouded him entirely!
Two beasts! The state of the fight instantly changed! It was now a duel between two savage monsters!
Ulcen Ward looked very ferocious, but Xia Tian without his gla.s.ses looked way fiercer than he did!
Inside the lounge of the wars.h.i.+p, the patriarch of the Skywings, Xia Buyun, gritted his teeth as he muttered “Do you know why Xia Tian is always wearing his gla.s.ses and has gone off to practice meditation?”
“Why is it?” Xia Fei asked quizzically.
“Because Xia Tian was far too cruel when he was young! His kill count was nearly insurmountable! His two hands were constantly dyed in blood! That’s why the previous patriarch punished Xia Tian by having him search for enlightenment through meditation; he’s hoping that Xia Tian could get rid of the baleful rage in his chest!” Xia Buyun remarked coldly.
Xia Fei was taken aback. So Xia Tian was actually the most brutal member of the Skywings! Due to his usual demure and cultured appearance, it was really very hard to imagine that he would actually be such a vicious brute when he was young!
“The Moonward Clan thought they could pick on a soft persimmon. Too bad, for they have miscalculated!” Xia Buyun spat through gritted teeth. He had uttered this so harshly that Xia Fei could imagine daggers being spouted along with every word!
……
Right at the moment when Xia Tian took off his gla.s.ses, oppressive killing intent came surging out from him and toward Ulcen Ward!
The most irascible Skywing, Xia Tian, no longer needed to hide his true colors, revealing his bloodthirsty nature in full blast!
Ulcen Ward took several steps backward, unable to understand just how Xia Tian’s aura could change. That trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth from Xia Tian had originally been a mark of effort on Ulcen Ward’s part, but now it looked more like a remnant trace of ferocity made by a cannibal Xia Tian!
“Haha! Hahahahaha!”
Xia Tian threw his head backward and laughed out loud! His laughter peeled like a clap of thunder, which tore through s.p.a.ce!
Uninhibited arrogance!
“It’s been too long since I’ve had this feeling. This feeling of harvesting fresh blood!” Xia Tian stared fixedly at Ulcen Ward, his body trembling visibly from the excitement that was bursting forth in him!
“Thank you! I finally don’t need to keep myself buried! Haha! Hahahahaha!”
With that, Xia Tian swung his two arms out wide, as if he was hugging the death aura hanging over the entire wilderness. It almost seemed like the blood and cruelty of this fight pleased him greatly!
Even the already deranged Ulcen could feel that he was about to collapse. This murderous aura was stifling! At that very moment, waves after waves of killing intent was bursting forth from Xia Tian, which could not be compared to what he had been feeling before!
Gulping, a spectating warrior in one of the lounges squealed. “Oh, my G.o.d! Is that Xia Tian, the one who meditates?!”
“That looks like him, yeah.”
“Probably.” No one from the crowd dared to believe that this was the true visage of the Law Overlord Xia Tian!
“Ulcen Ward is in danger now, provoking Xia Tian like that. He’s the Law Overlord that the Skywings had kept hidden the most!” An elder who was familiar with the situation sighed as he shook his head.
…
*Whoosh*
Xia Tian’s figure suddenly disappeared, as he used his unparalleled speed to get near Ulcen Ward, the sword in his hand flas.h.i.+ng, piercing forward!
*Bang*
Sparks flew everywhere! The real battle had only just begun at the moment when Xia Tian had taken off his gla.s.ses!
*Whizz*
Xia Tian disappeared the moment he landed that sword blow. This time, he reappeared above Ulcen’s head, still dealing that simple yet savage attack!
*Ping*
Ulcen Ward blocked again!
*Ping ping ping!*
Not only Xia Tian’s aura, even his speed changed as well after he took off his gla.s.ses!
Moving at the speed of light, no one could make out his movements clearly!
The sound of constant clas.h.i.+ng all formed into one, as if a thousand bells were ringing at every second, fl.u.s.tering anyone who heard this series of loud clashes.
The battle unfolded with one side overwhelming the other; Ulcen Ward, who was struggling to cope, became akin to a slowed tortoise. Meanwhile, a specter kept circling around him, constantly slas.h.i.+ng away with his sword, again and again!
This gorgeous battlefield infected everyone present! The s.h.i.+mmering figure looked like a ma.s.s of meteors streaking toward Ulcen Ward all at the same time!
*Roar*
Ulcen Ward let out a frenzied roar at the sky. Unfortunately, before he could even vent his frustration in his opponent, a blade cut across his face and tore open his mouth!
*Swish*
After the relentless barrage of attacks, Xia Tian slipped to the side, his entire body trembling. However, this was not lethargy but excitement, instead, from seeing all that blood! Xia Tian was thrilled! Crazed, in fact!
Ulcen Ward wiped his mouth and came away with a hand soaked in blood!
Not just his face, even his entire body was covered in lacerations!
Xia Tian’s counterattack only lasted seconds, yet more than tens of thousands of wounds could be found all over Ulcen Ward’s body!
It was just too bad that the neural response time of Ulcen Ward’s was not too weak, so he managed to block off Xia Tian’s blade before they dug any deeper, or else he would be lying dead on the ground right now!
Xia Tian himself was heavily injured from this highspeed clash, so the two resembled bloodied beasts as they competed with each other in terms of savagery and madness, both regarding each other from afar!
Reaching out to dab at a spot of blood and putting it into his mouth, Xia Tian showed a devilish smile. He seemed not to feel even the slightest pain. All he felt was the joy of slaughter and this violence!
“What a powerful speed! I’m afraid that Xia Tian’s speed is well over a million!” Xia Fei gasped, shocked.
“Wrong!” Xia Buyun softly corrected. “That’s Xia Tian’s speed when he’s wearing gla.s.ses, but right now, his speed is already closer to two million! That’s his true strength!”
“A speed of two million every second!” Xia Fei was stunned. “No wonder I can’t even make out his movements clearly! That’s some heaven-defying speed!”
“Two million meters per second means two thousand kilometers! That’s akin to reaching Guangzhou from Beijing!
It was hard to imagine that a living and breathing human would actually be capable of achieving such a speed!
The state of this fight was changing very quickly, and it was leaving all the people watching the match completely without any chance to take a breather!
After the short stare-down between the two, the action restarted right away!
This time, the one on the offense was Ulcen Ward, and it was a reckless counterattack, using large AoE attacks to try and ruin Xia Tian’s speed advantage!
Xia Tian had also changed his combat tactics from before and was now using his superspeed with Law of s.p.a.ce techniques!
Everyone saw as his figure approached Ulcen Ward at lightspeed, but he did not get close. Instead, he cut at an oblique path several dozen meters away, throwing out a hand and creating a bright spatial fissure!
Though the Skywings were Law of Speed specialists and enjoyed using it, that was not the only law that they had a grasp of!
As one of the most powerful clans in the Law Realm, the Skywings were also good at the Laws of s.p.a.ce and Matter!
The fight became very interesting. When Ulcen Ward began looking to put his life on the line against Xia Tian, Xia Tian instead changed to attacking from a distance…
The power of the Law of s.p.a.ce was like a hidden weapon in the hands of Xia Tian. He would close in at high speeds, using the opportunity to toss out spatial fissures, before running away very quickly, going about with this. .h.i.t-and-run tactic repeatedly!
“Xia Tian is being really crafty!” Golcen Ward’s two eyes were practically popping out as he slammed his fist onto the gla.s.s. He seemed to desire shattering this reinforced gla.s.s!
Ulcen Ward was his biological younger brother. He was already feeling guilty enough over letting his brother take the Single Leaf Celestial, causing the latter to turn deranged, but what was truly excruciating was that, even after sacrificing his own brother, it was not enough to eliminate Xia Tian! How could Golcen Ward be willing to let this go?
“Don’t panic; Ulcen Ward is already beginning to go out of control! His strongest power, the most powerful effect of the Single Leaf Celestial, will soon be on full display!” said Polmir Ward in an ambiguous voice.
Golcen Ward was startled and anxiously turned his eyes back to the fighting!
After taking a pummelling for several seconds, Ulcen Ward let out a dismal cry. He was no longer human after taking Xia Tian’s torture!
*Boom*
Just as everyone thought that Ulcen Ward would lose in this fight, the abomination suddenly did something unexpected!
“Law Integration! Ulcen Ward is imbuing his body with law!” a warrior in one of the lounges exclaimed.
Everyone watched as two dim glowing orbs climbed their way up Ulcen Ward’s body. These were the law forces from both the Laws of Matter and s.p.a.ce!
“He’s desperate! Forcibly using the Law Integration can very easily cause injury, yet he’s attempting to use two great laws at the same time!”
“That’s right! Even if he has a Law Overlord cultivation, he can’t prevent the law force from cannibalizing his body! Even if he’s able to gain an instant boost to his combat strength, this method is far too costly!”
Those talking were the elites of elites in White Horse Constellation, all possessing worldly views that went beyond that of any average being, so they of course had seen through everything.
Each of these major clans had a deep understanding and knowledge of the law force, and their methods varied greatly, too. Nonetheless, they all shared the same view regarding an individual imbuing oneself with law force: the one attempting this feat must have a superiorly tough body so they could harness the power!
An expert with a Super Law Overlord cultivation might be able to handle doing this, but Ulcen Ward was simply courting death by attempting this with his level 1 Law Overlord cultivation!
*Kaboom*
Xia Tian’s attack landed squarely on Ulcen Ward’s body once more, causing an intense explosion.
However, the attack did not cause any damage to Ulcen Ward this time. While the force of this attack was still several centimeters away, it got blocked and subsequently dissipated into nothingness.
Law Integration was a top tier and very powerful skill, which could strengthen not only one’s attack but also their body’s defenses! After all, since the law force fused with the body, the body itself would naturally become law! Xia Tian’s attacks to Ulcen were like a.s.saulting law force itself and could, therefore, not produce any good effects.
Xia Fei watched the fight, somewhat worried. The old demon lord had told him, time and again, that true experts could master Law Integration. At this time, because of the fight, Xia Fei had already seen too many examples of its use; even he had made a simple attempt in integrating law, so he of course knew just how great an improvement there would be when the body got imbued with law and he also knew just how agonizing it was!
Xia Tian came to a halt and stared at Ulcen Ward.
Without a word, hesitation, or even the slightest thought, Xia Tian shrouded himself with a film of faint white light from out of nowhere; he was also attempting to use Law Integration forcibly by tapping into his law force via the Law of s.p.a.ce!
Two Law Overlords integrated themselves with their law force at the same time! They were clearly putting their lives on the line right now!
*Zoom*
Countless spatial membranes began to appear outside, reinforcing the protective s.h.i.+elds that were already tightly defending the wars.h.i.+p, all so the impact when the two Law Overlords clashed could be mitigated!
Xia Buyun clenched his fists, his face ashen, not saying a word. The atmosphere in the entire wars.h.i.+p had turned somber as everyone watched with widened eyes.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
It was as if eons had gone by in just a few seconds!
Xia Tian and Ulcen Ward, disregarding everything else, both attempted Law Integration, and as the battle raged on more intensely, the layers of defense the wars.h.i.+p had increased exponentially as well…
*Kaboom*
A nuclear-like explosion bloomed, and the ensuing glow temporarily blinded everyone!
…
After some time pa.s.sed, Xia Fei gulped. That was because the venue before his eyes was no longer a planet but a piece of desolate s.p.a.ce, instead!
Countless rock fragments and debris could be seen flying about. After the fight between Ulcen Ward and Xia Tian, the entire planet ceased to exist!
Xia Fei immersed himself in that earlier scene of an entire planet being destroyed following an exchange between two foes and had a hard time extricating himself from it. At this moment, the very suppressed voice of Oro could be heard muttering into his ear, “That’s a draw… Pray for a G.o.d to descend or that your Dreadlimit would be as effective…”
