Chapter 1013: Hosu’s Divine Seal
War revealed its cruel side from the very start.
A Law G.o.d had jumped into the abyss and used the most extreme method of self-detonation to die together with his enemies!
*Rumble!*
A ma.s.sive explosion blossomed. After all, this was a Law G.o.d! The energy he acc.u.mulated over countless years detonating all at once was unstoppable!
A scarlet ball of flame expanded in the Abyss, engulfing several thousand Inverse, the shockwave traveling several hundred kilometers! Many of the Inverse felt like their heads were splitting open, and they jumped back into the Abyss in pain!
The Inverse were stunned!
The entire Law Realm was also stunned!
What a heroic act! It had taken so much sweat and blood to become a Law G.o.d, countless years, and if the situation hadn’t forced it, who would be willing to throw away all of their life’s work!?
Although Law G.o.ds didn’t die and could be reborn using the Seed of Life, everyone knew how long the path of rebirth was, and how excruciating! It would take more than ten thousand years for him to recover his cultivation!
The Inverse offensive did not stop there, but they did lose their momentum for a moment. After all, none of them had predicted that the Law Realm would come out from the get-go with such fearless courage. They were gambling their lives against the Inverse! Gambling on who was more vicious, on who feared death the least!
More Inverse soon appeared in the Abyss, a dark ma.s.s of innumerable beings! It was like a million provoked ants, but each one was imbued with abnormal killing power.
The Law Realm warriors standing above the abyss and firing off long-range attacks weren’t too threatened. The moment the Inverse appeared, a large swath of them would be wiped out! It seemed like these wicked lifeforms were more specialized in close combat.
“Let me!”
*Whoos.h.!.+*
Another Law G.o.d jumped into the Abyss, and before anyone could tell which clan this brave warrior came from, another huge explosion erupted!
Self-detonation! Another self-detonation!
In the blink of an eye, two Law G.o.ds had fallen. The battle had only just begun, and the Law Realm was already forced to resort to such extreme methods. It was clear that this battle was not going well!
It seemed like the Inverse were already used to the Law Realm’s frenzied attack methods. Although it suffered a rather significant shock, the pace of their offensive didn’t slow. On the contrary, it accelerated!
The Law Realm was intimidated by this crazy attack. It was clear that the Inverse were bloodthirsty and cruel, and these monsters clearly didn’t fear death! At this moment, many warriors realized that they weren’t fighting some sapient lifeform. They were facing a pack of devils!
Ordinary attacks did little damage to the Inverse. The Inverse quicky charged up from the Abyss, and some combat zones had already begun to engage in close combat!
Two Law G.o.ds frowned. They exchanged glances, their eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with resolve!
It was clear that they planned to follow the example of their predecessors and use self-detonation to stop the attack of the Inverse!
“Let me do it!”
“Right, let us! Law G.o.ds are the backbone of the Law Realm! Without you lot, there’s no way for us to outlast this battle!”
“Since we’re dying anyway, I’m taking you down with me!”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Several warriors immediately jumped into the Abyss and engaged in another suicidal offensive.
But these people were not Law G.o.ds, and there was no rebirth for them. They were truly fighting with their lives!
Everyone could not help but be moved! The battle had already reached this stage! To maintain the number of Law G.o.ds, Law Sages and Law Emperors were beginning to sacrifice their lives, detonating their cultivation!
While these lower-level warriors weren’t able to deal that much damage to the Inverse, their self-detonations were just as vicious! After all, this was in exchange for their lives!
It was much better to have more Law G.o.ds survive. This was important to the Law Realm, for Law G.o.ds were only a step away from unlocking soul power, and their full-power attacks could kill the Inverse! As for those below Law G.o.d, they were much less effective against the Inverse. Thus, these warriors who lacked cultivation chose to self-detonate, as this was the only way to maximize their effectiveness on the battlefield!
The Founders frowned. They knew that this method of sacrificing eight hundred to kill three thousand wouldn’t bring the Law Realm true victory, but they couldn’t think of a better plan.
That vast ma.s.s of enemies was simply uncountable, and there was no telling how many more Inverse were hiding in the Abyss. If they couldn’t hold out against this enemy wave and allowed them to get out of the Abyss, the Law Realm would be put under even greater pressure! The entire defensive line might be lost! After all, the Inverse were wicked lifeforms more suited for close combat! The closer they were, the stronger they became!
The bitter battle continued. If this battle had to be defined in any way, it would be explosions! Explosions! Countless explosions!
The warriors of the Law Realm had seemingly gone crazy, using their lives to protect the dignity of the universe!
As time went on, the Founders began to grow tired. The Law G.o.ds organized themselves in formations and joined their powers to attack the Inverse, but the lower-level warriors could only use their lives!
Even worse was that the Inverse were seemingly endless. There was no telling how many forces they had mustered, but they just kept on coming and showed no signs of falling back.
The number of Law Sages was limited, and the self-detonations of warriors below Law Emperor did far too little damage to the Inverse.
Suddenly, a soul-shaking horn blew from within the Abyss!
As the horn resounded, the Inverse intensified their a.s.sault!
A force of armored elites suddenly charged out from the Abyss! Unlike those lower-level Inverse, they were not just better-equipped, but were also capable of tactics!
This small team of six was able to minimize the attacks the Law Realm aimed at it!
Their armor was azure blue, and the eyes of these warriors were no longer blue, but mysterious purple! It seemed like the Inverse weren’t a single species, but rather were formed from numerous evil lifeforms. These Inverse with purple eyes were clearly more frightening than the previous Inverse! With only a few leaps, they had reached the edge of the Abyss and began to fight with the Law Realm’s warriors!
The situation turned dangerous. These Inverse were far stronger than the Law Realm had antic.i.p.ated. If their brazen attack wasn’t stopped, it would only be a few minutes until the Law Realm was in a completely pa.s.sive position!
“Let me! All of you, stand aside!” the chubby Ocean roared as he jumped into the Abyss.
Ocean had been heavily injured in the battle with Constant, even worse than Crane. Ocean felt like he wasn’t being very useful in this defensive battle, and this was a moment where he was needed!
He didn’t have the combat strength, but he still had his cultivation!
In the end, Ocean was still one of the experts who had established the Law Realm! A Founder!
If he detonated all of his cultivation, he could exterminate these purple-eyed Inverse!
“No!” Crane yelled, freezing him on the spot.
This battle was only just getting started, but it was already so difficult that a Founder needed to self-detonate!? It would be impossible if this kept up!
The Founders felt despair, and the warriors of the Law Realm felt deep sorrow. The light of victory seemed to be drifting farther and farther away from the Law Realm.
At this moment, someone suddenly roared, “Don’t go blowing yourselves up at a moment’s notice! This battle is only just getting started!”
Everyone hastily turned their heads and saw Hosu in combat attire, floating majestically in the air, Ocean in his hand. Through some unknown method, he had managed to pluck Ocean out of the Abyss.
“Look! It’s that super-warrior!”
“He’s a friend of the Skywing Clan, meaning that this superwarrior stands at our side!”
“There’s hope for the Law Realm! This expert might lead us in pus.h.i.+ng back the Inverse!”
Like a drowning man clutching at straws, everyone instantly treated Hosu as their savior. After all, Hosu was the only living Soul Hunter in the universe. In the eyes of the Law Realm’s warriors, Hosu possessed a heaven-defying cultivation! He transcended G.o.ds!
“Wind and lightning without clouds! A Divine Seal to hunt a soul!”
Hosu was Hosu! He naturally wouldn’t disappoint the Law Realm!
With a roar, he created an enormous Divine Seal with his hands!
Divine seals were weapons Soul Hunters used to kill en ma.s.se! Although he lacked the Overcast Wind Mace, making him much weaker than usual, in the eyes of the Law Realm’s warriors, this was simply a miracle!
The scarlet seal seemed to be burning. The Divine Seal Hosu had created was so large that it engulfed the Abyss!
Strange patterns flowed across the seal. n.o.body knew that this technique was, but there was no doubt that it was unfathomably powerful!
Rumble!
The Divine Seal shot forward! Like a murderous plate, it smashed toward the Abyss!
Awoooo!
The Inverse warriors clearly understood the power of Hosu’s Divine Seal, and they roared bitterly. Alas, their roars were not weapons, simply an expression of their helplessness!
Without a word, this Seal that encompa.s.sed the Abyss smashed down!
Those Inverse who had already crawled out and reached the edge of the Abyss were thrown back!
Bang!
An enormous boom came from the depths of the Abyss, and then like a geyser, the shattered corpses of countless Inverse were blasted from! Mixed in with them was a white mist that ordinary people couldn’t see. This was the mental energy of the Inverse! Their souls!
This was the power of a Soul Hunter! Killing people and hunting souls, laughing proudly across the sea of stars!
Hurrah!
The Law Realm was stunned! Hosu’s heaven-shaking attack had won their utmost admiration! With Hosu here, victory was possible!
Alas, Hosu didn’t have a good look on his face at all. He quickly turned his wrist, absorbing Origin Crystal after Origin Crystal to restore the energy he had lost.
Hosu had come so late because he had been gathering up the energy needed for this strike!
This attack had basically emptied Hosu’s body of energy. Even though he was using the highest level of Origin Crystals, the black Grade 8s, the Divine Seal consumed far more than the Origin Crystals could replace. He recovered energy very slowly, and it would be a very long time until he could unleash another attack at the same level.
Hosu clenched his teeth as he watched the souls of the countless Inverse dissipate. If he still had the Stormcloud Mace, that would all be energy he could use!
Soul Hunters could gather energy by killing things. The more they killed, the stronger they became!
Alas, Hosu had no soul weapon, so he could only watch as this vast amount of soul power went away. As for the short sword that his Young Lord Xiaogu had used, for a warrior like Hosu, the amount of energy it could gather was simply pitiful.
“It should be able to hold for a bit,” Hosu stared at the Abyss and muttered, his eyes cold.
As he spoke, suddenly, mere moments after taking Hosu’s Divine Seal, the Inverse came sweeping back!
“This is trouble!” Hosu exclaimed in shock..
