328: Laws and Regulations

A series of light rings instantly submerged into the head of the Doomsday Fortress, and then white light rings flew out, each encapsulating a purple sphere about the size of a palm, looking just like a natural, spherical amethyst.

"There, I've fulfilled my promise and returned this thing to you. We're now even!"

Tesla held the bead in his hand and handed it to Yang Jian, saying, "True Lord, the prize is yours now!"

Yang Jian glanced at Tang Ku, and only after receiving his nod did he take the bead. Seeing Tesla's calm and indifferent demeanor, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "What are you aiming for? You handed us this item, and even allowed the Holy Monk to gain some insight... If you don't have an ulterior motive, I'll write the character 'Yang' backwards!"

"At the very least, my goal doesn't conflict too much with yours..." Tesla smiled, "Well then... until we meet again..."

Behind Tesla, a circular portal that seemed to be composed of golden flames suddenly opened. One could vaguely see what appeared to be another space inside. He retreated rapidly, entered the circular light ring, and vanished in an instant.

"This scene looks so familiar!" Tang Ku muttered to himself.

"Holy Monk, are you really not feeling any discomfort?" Seeing Tang Ku's stunned expression, Yang Jian asked with some concern.

"It's alright. That dream just now allowed me to return to the past..." Tang Ku thought for a moment, then added, "I have also gained some insight regarding the Power Law..."

He shook his fist slightly. He didn't use any force, nor did he use any skills or techniques, but the air suddenly seemed to become much hotter. Countless tiny, barely visible spatial cracks appeared before him, but they vanished in an instant.

Yang Jian subconsciously retreated, because he felt that fist was extremely dangerous!

"To Cultivate the Power Law, it doesn't necessarily require immense strength, nor does it require strong murderous intent or a desire to kill!" Tang Ku sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't realize this in my previous life... Back then, if I had possessed a bit more compassion and a desire to protect, perhaps I would have already comprehended the Power Law..."

The power born from protection is far stronger than the power born from extreme thoughts like slaughter and anger. Who could have imagined this in the past?

Using protection as the core to comprehend the Power Law—it seems no one has ever walked this path before.

With a firm conviction and something that needs protecting, one naturally requires immense power to do so. The Power Law driven by this is immeasurable in its might.

Having relived everything from his past life, Tang Ku finally understood this point.

If he hadn't killed Yao Dezhang, if he had used legitimate means to expose his crimes, he could have protected the peace of the region, protected himself, protected Sanzu Temple, and protected the Senior Brother who had loved him most since childhood. That way, Sanzu Temple wouldn't have faced such a catastrophic disaster.

With a clear mind, one thought achieves everything!

"I need to protect what I want to protect, and power is generated naturally. This is the Power Law of protection..." Tang Ku extended a finger and traced it through the air. The air hissed and crackled, tearing space and creating countless destructive vortices. But immediately after, these vortices vanished without a trace, and even the half-foot-long spatial crack disappeared in an instant.

"I am only just beginning to learn, so I cannot maintain it for long!" Tang Ku smiled, "However, this is pure Law power; even brute force and any form of energy are useless. If I were to use the Myriad Manifestations Tribulation Finger, or the Great Wilderness Divine Fist, and imbue them with the power of the Law, I could produce even greater might..."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up upon hearing this. The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade appeared in his hand once again, and he chuckled, "There's no time like the present, Holy Monk... Let me test this out with you. It just so happens that the Law I've comprehended also needs honing to advance further!"

"Very well!" Tang Ku chuckled. He retracted his right fist, and the War God Gauntlets attached to his right hand. A thirty-fold amplitude made the entire space hum. Following that, he unleashed the second stance of the Great Wilderness Divine Fist: Sky-Shaking!

Yang Jian didn't waste any words. He pointed the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade in his hand toward Tang Ku and thrust it out slowly.

That's right, just slowly, leisurely, the kind of weak, powerless thrust that looks like Tai Chi.

However, this thrust was deceptively slow but actually swift. There was no terrifying power, no sound of air being torn. It just moved slowly, thrusting toward Tang Ku's shoulder.

Tang Ku's expression showed slight surprise, then he threw his punch without holding anything back.

Hum... Everything seemed to come to a standstill, as if even the clouds in the sky had lost the ability to move.

One second felt as long as a year. Then, Yang Jian was suddenly sent flying like a kite with a broken string, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

Meanwhile, Tang Ku, standing motionless in place, looked down at his left shoulder with a hint of surprise. A spot of crimson was seeping through his monk's robes, gradually expanding to the size of a plum blossom.

"Hahaha, hahahaha... It worked, it worked!" Yang Jian flipped over, stabilized himself, then wiped the corner of his mouth and flew over to Tang Ku, saying with a smile, "This Power Law is truly extraordinary. If you had used your full strength, you might have even shattered my Physical Body. Impressive, truly impressive!"

Tang Ku also smiled: "The Law you have comprehended is also extraordinary. Is this... the Space-Time Law?"

Yang Jian exclaimed in surprise: "You were able to tell at a glance? That's right. Over these past few days, I inexplicably comprehended this Law... The intersection of time and space allowed me to find my own Dao... Heh, even I was somewhat shocked at first!"

Tang Ku nodded: "Your control is already very strong, unlike me, who still lacks some seasoning... Hmm, right, I've been busy and haven't had time to ask you. How did you end up here, and happen to help me out?"

"Heh, actually I have been Cultivating near Kunlun, and Kunlun is not far from here. I just came out of the mountains to look for some prey to fill my stomach... Heh, to tell you the truth, after following you for so long, my desire for food has been awakened. Although I'm not particularly hungry, my mouth is always craving something, so I hunt some game to roast every few days, but I can never replicate the flavor you make..."

"Hmm, the moment I left the mountains, I sensed a sky-high malice and Devilish Qi in this direction, so I rushed over without stopping... When I saw the source of this malice, I was shocked, so I casually slashed out a blade light, attempting to hold him off for a moment before coming over to deal with him, but I didn't expect you to be nearby as well... Hmm, right, you mentioned saving people earlier. How did it go? Have all the people inside been rescued?"

Tang Ku couldn't help but slap his forehead: "Damn, I almost forgot... Hmm, the person has been rescued, but how do I settle them afterwards... Sigh, was I too impulsive?"
