686: Extraction of Qi

No matter how fierce the battle on Earth was, it did not affect Hongjun in the slightest.

In fact, he was currently on the dark side of the Moon, desperately refining the imperial jade seal he had just obtained!

Hongjun was a master of Artifact Refining, especially skilled at extracting energy from Magic Treasures. He believed that the Luck contained within the imperial jade seal could be treated as a form of energy to be extracted. So, after simply setting up a Formation, he began extracting the Luck from it.

However, after trying every method of energy extraction, he discovered that the Luck within the imperial jade seal simply wouldn't obey his commands; it was like stagnant water, or as if it didn't exist at all, completely unresponsive to his summons.

"That's not right, I clearly sensed that the Luck contained within it was almost as dazzling as a star..."

In Hongjun's vision, he could see blinding light emanating from this seal.

"This thing looks exactly like an ordinary jade seal, and it's even broken, missing a corner that's been mended with gold, utterly crude. If one wanted to destroy it, even an ordinary person dropping it would shatter it into pieces, but... but it just so happens to be the ultimate Magic Treasure that carries Luck!"

Hongjun frowned slightly, "Do I really have to completely smash this thing? But once the Luck leaks out, it can never be collected again... Uh, wait..."

Suddenly, his finger touched the corner of the imperial jade seal mended with gold, and a faint warm current slowly flowed out from it, entering his finger.

An unprecedented feeling of comfort spread, making Hongjun tremble. He looked at the golden corner in surprise and chuckled, "So the secret was hidden here. This piece of gold isn't gold at all, but a repeater, specifically designed to release Luck. Only when the body touches this gold will the Law be usable... Haha, so that's how it is... Uh, but if that's the case, using the Power of Law would require carrying this seal, which is too troublesome... Hmm, I still need to find a way to concentrate the Power of Luck on myself. Relying on external objects is not a long-term solution!"

"Haha, so you also understand that principle!"

A voice sounded from behind, making Hongjun stiffen suddenly. Then he whirled around and saw the bald monk standing before him, looking at him with a playful expression.

"Tang Sanzang?"

Hongjun suddenly sneered, "Are you here to die?"

From the Qi on Tang Ku's body, he could tell that Tang Ku was at best a Quasi-Saint level, still too far behind him. Moreover, he was now holding the imperial jade seal, and with the Power of Luck, his strength was steadily increasing bit by bit. He believed it wouldn't be long before he could recover to his peak power.

"As long as I hide in this New Universe, Tang Ao won't dare to act against me... Haha, I just need to modify the Universe parameters with the creation jade plate to ensure this Universe exists safely... Once my strength recovers to its peak, I won won't have to fear him anymore!"

Hongjun thought to himself.

"I won't die... Hmm, you're not so sure!"

Tang Ku chuckled, "You always like to rely on external objects, whether it's the creation jade plate, the Qingping Sword, or this imperial jade seal... No wonder you always lose to that New Saint; it turns out you were just that little bit behind!"

Hongjun sneered, "No matter how far behind I am, killing you is still as easy as turning my hand!"

"Oh, really? What about with me?"

A figure flashed, and Ge Gang suddenly appeared, standing before Hongjun, sneering, "What, don't you recognize an old friend?"

Hongjun instantly thought of something and said in a deep voice, "You are that mechanical lifeform?"

Ge Gang was currently appearing in human form, so Hongjun didn't recognize him immediately, but as soon as he spoke, Hongjun already knew who this person was.

After all, there weren't many people who could reach a level to contend with him, and this guy, whose appearance was strikingly similar to a human but wasn't human, had an unfathomable and elusive strength.

"Wait, you don't have the aura of the Saint Dao on you? Did you abandon your Dao and cultivate anew? No, that's not right... Your Yinghua is restrained; it's definitely not a sign of declining strength..."

Hongjun suddenly thought of a question and said in a deep voice, "You won the Order contention?"

"Hmm, I guess so. I am now an Order Lord!"

Ge Gang sneered, "New grudges and old scores, let's settle them all today!"

Saying that, he transformed into his true form and launched the first round of assault against Hongjun.

Hongjun was furious, holding the Qingping Sword, he unleashed a Sword Qi towards him. Unexpectedly, Ge Gang seemed to have predicted how he would attack and easily dodged it. After a small star was cut into countless fragments, Hongjun said in a deep voice, "The Killing Dao Law is the strongest offensive Law... How did you find an opportunity to dodge?"

"Haha, I just said, I am already an Order Lord, and all attacks within the Order are under my control! So, I can see your attack patterns clearly. I can even tell what follow-up moves you would use to deal with me if you didn't stop this move..."

Ge Gang chuckled.

"Within the Order?"

Hongjun suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I'll show you what power from outside the Order is... Order Lord, prepare to die!"

"Buzz!"

A ripple erupted from Hongjun's body, and specks of starlight slowly seeped into him through all his pores, causing his entire body to glow with a faint golden starlight, making him look like a golden man!

"Is this the effect of the creation jade plate fragments? Pushing his power to near peak state!"

Ge Gang cracked his knuckles, and then an arc of light burst forth from the palms of his hands. A brilliant blue energy fiercely impacted Hongjun, but it didn't even budge a single hair on him.

Hongjun's eyes suddenly burst with lightning-like radiance, and then he slammed a palm down towards him.

"Law, solidify space!"

Crack!

The space around Ge Gang was instantly frozen by the Power of Law. Hongjun was proficient in various Powers of Law, and these Space Laws were just one of them.

"Haha, useless, useless!"

Ge Gang chuckled, "The Power of Law is also covered within the scope of Order. As long as I activate the Power of Order, your Law will not work..."

Suddenly, Ge Gang felt danger approaching and instinctively leaned back. His face was instantly ripped off by a terrifying force...
