214: Chapter 213 Above Energy Levels, the Domain of Laws!!
Sun Po asked, "Illusory object?"
Wuzhiqi nodded and said, "It cannot be said to be completely illusory, it should be said that it is something existing on the law level, something that exists across dimensions. It has the same principle as the Jinshan Temple in the Wujiang Secret Realm, but it is even higher than the law level and dimension level where the Jinshan Temple is located, so only attack methods using the same law level or a higher law level can be effective."
Thinking of that Jinshan Temple which completely could not be attacked, Sun Po could not help feeling a bit troubled. Back then, if not for Demon Gods Mighty Power and sheer heaven-defying luck, with Sun Po's own means he wouldn't even have been able to touch that bizarre Jinshan Temple. If Sæhrímnir's undying body were combined with such a thing, it would truly be much trickier than the Jinshan Temple back then.
But the most BT thing was that only by eliminating the undying Sæhrímnir could the undying rune be revealed. However, when the undying rune was not revealed, Sæhrímnir was practically an undying body, meaning it was impossible to eliminate it.
In this way, it became completely contradictory: Sæhrímnir does not die, the undying rune cannot be revealed; and when the undying rune is not revealed, Sæhrímnir will not die. It was truly a dead end, forming a direct logical closed loop.
But hearing Wuzhiqi explain the characteristics of Sæhrímnir, Sun Po vaguely understood Wuzhiqi's idea.
Li Tiance's Heavenly Khagan could grant Li Tiance's shot arrows a sure-hit effect. Although Sun Po did not know how the priority of the sure-hit law of Heavenly Khagan ranked, Wuzhiqi deliberately had Sun Po bring Li Tiance over. Presumably, the priority of the sure-hit law effect of Heavenly Khagan should be extremely high, at least higher than the law of "indestructible body, unrevealed rune" of the undying rune and Sæhrímnir. In this way, Li Tiance could shoot an arrow, bypass Sæhrímnir's undying body, and attack the undying rune, thereby truly eliminating Sæhrímnir.
This feeling was like Sæhrímnir's vital point being shrouded under a thick layer of armor, where ordinary weapons and means could not penetrate this armor to attack that vital point, while Li Tiance's Heavenly Khagan was the key to penetrating the armor and harming that vital point.
Understood this way, Li Tiance's Heavenly Khagan not only seemed to carry a sure-hit effect, but from the level of laws, it also carried a true damage effect.
I must say, although Li Tiance's overall combat strength was currently inferior to Sun Po's, the upper limit and strength of this exclusive talent were truly second to none.
And the plan Wuzhiqi narrated next was similar to what Sun Po had guessed, but the only thing that needed attention was that Sæhrímnir's own physical body was extremely powerful. With Li Tiance's current strength, even with the blessing of the sure-hit law, a full-strength arrow might not be able to pierce Sæhrímnir's body at all.
In the process of the confrontation between laws and dimensions, the power attached to the surface of the arrow would already be depleted. In that case, even if an arrow hit the undying rune, it probably wouldn't be able to destroy it due to insufficient power.
Therefore, it was necessary to sufficiently weaken Sæhrímnir so that the power of Li Tiance's arrow would suffer as little loss as possible, thereby achieving success.
And weakening Sæhrímnir required Wuzhiqi, who possessed even more formidable strength, to make a move.
Sun Po understood in his heart and informed Li Tiance of the plan. After hearing it, Li Tiance also felt immense pressure.
He was not an illiterate person like Sun Po; having been well-informed in the Li family since childhood, he had an understanding of much knowledge that even universities might not teach.
Laws!! Had it actually involved laws already? Was this really the Gaokao? Had the officials gone mad?
If there was anything that could allow someone to shatter a beam of light or tear a wisp of wind with brute force, it would be laws, the Law of Force.
That was a realm that could only be touched above deities, and it was also a realm superior to the energy classification theory.
There were all kinds of powers in this world, but these powers were merely the external manifestations of laws, and their true essence was laws.
But most people could only hear the name of laws throughout their lives, and never truly stepped into the realm of laws.
This was also the biggest difference between ordinary powerhouses and true powerhouses. For instance, to become a Titled Card Maker, the primary requirement was that the Card Maker themselves or their own cards master a complete law; otherwise, no matter how many cards they possessed, they could only be an ace Card Maker and did not deserve to truly have their own title.
Li Tiance knew this well in his heart, but the more he understood, the more alarmed he felt.
Aside from feeling alarmed by the intensity of this exam, he felt even more alarmed by Wuzhiqi's current strength.
When Li Tiance first met Wuzhiqi, it was still a tiny Changyou. Although its means were astonishing, it could not yet be considered a true powerhouse.
Now, only a few months had passed, and the tiny Changyou from back then had transformed into the powerful ancient deity Wuzhiqi, and could even catch a glimpse of the secrets of laws. What a terrifying growth speed this was!
What was even more terrifying was that once a certain card of a Card Maker mastered a complete law, the Card Maker themselves would also possess extremely strong affinity and comprehension capabilities toward the power manifested by this law, and their defensive means would advance by leaps and bounds.
This was also why many Titled Card Makers did not even need to summon cards when fighting, relying solely on themselves to deal with many monsters. Indeed, the feedback from a complete law was far too powerful.
Now, Wuzhiqi could quickly see through the reality of the giant wild boar's laws, think of the corresponding cracking method, and even perceive that the sure-hit law contained in his own Heavenly Khagan exclusive talent was higher than the giant wild boar's law. This discernment was by no means ordinary.
Li Tiance misunderstood this point; he did not know that Sun Po had added a consumable mod, wanjie dongxi talisman, for Wuzhiqi, thereby greatly enhancing Wuzhiqi's Six-Eared Macaque bloodline ability, allowing it to reach an almost omniscient state in this secret realm.
But Sun Po had no intention of explaining so much to Li Tiance. Over a hundred contestants meant over a hundred leaf-like small worlds, and they still had plenty to busy themselves with next.
Wuzhiqi ascended high into the air, and the water disc behind its head emitted beams of cyan divine light. Under the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth state standing over three hundred meters tall, huge cyan currents surrounded its body, making Wuzhiqi appear even more divine and marvelous, truly resembling an ancient deity manifested in the mortal world.
Afterwards, Wuzhiqi pinched a familiar hand seal, which was precisely the first hand seal learned during the Changyou period—Minor Cloud and Rain Formula.
Only when the Minor Cloud and Rain Formula was cast at this time, it was no longer that tiny dark cloud from back then. Instead, it caused a large area of the void, which was originally dotted with starlight, to completely darken in an instant.
A gigantic dark cloud quietly appeared above Sæhrímnir, and a pattering light rain began to fall just like that in the starlit void.
Sun Po also did not know how this dark cloud was formed in such an environment, nor did he know how it could rain in such an environment.
But it did not matter. For a long time, Wuzhiqi had been in Sun Po's blind spot of knowledge. He only remembered that the last time Wuzhiqi used Minor Cloud and Rain Formula seemed to still be during the Changyou period.
Originally, it was because Changyou was stronger in water-rich environments that it learned this spell. Who would have thought that Changyou would quickly inherit Wuzhiqi's divine name, become an ancient deity, and experience a massive surge in strength? It became difficult to encounter an opponent that could make it go all out, and this spell consequently lost its place of usefulness.
It's just that the scene before his eyes was truly familiar, and Sun Po couldn't help recalling the combo technique Wuzhiqi used in the Wujiang Secret Realm.
Sæhrímnir, which was still entangled by the long blade transformed from Ren Water Divine Power, did not yet know that danger had quietly appeared above it, and with its intelligence, it cared even less about that pattering light rain.
Wuzhiqi sat upright atop the dark cloud, waving its hands like a martial arts expert circulating internal energy. Seeing this opening stance, Sun Po naturally understood that Wuzhiqi was about to use the first combo technique exhibited during the Changyou period—Sunflower Manual + Minor Cloud and Rain Formula.
When Changyou first unleashed this trick back then, it cleared out numerous mob minions in various secret realms.
Sun Po felt at the time that this large-scale AOE move was extremely suitable for clearing mobs, but thinking about it now, its effect against this extremely huge, high-recovery single target should not be bad either.
Although the huge blade condensed by Ren Water Divine Power had formidable single-attack power, for the high-recovery Sæhrímnir, as long as it couldn't attack the undying rune itself, no matter how formidable a single attack was, it was meaningless.
Speaking of weakening Sæhrímnir, such high-frequency attacks were actually much more effective instead.
Moreover, Sun Po was also quite looking forward to what kind of spectacle it would be when Wuzhiqi, who had already ascended to divinity, used this move.
Right away, Sun Po saw it. He saw the bottom of the originally pitch-black cloud begin to faintly emit a cyan divine light, and the pattering light rain was also dyed with a layer of cyan light.
Looking from afar, it was as if a large void was shrouded in a layer of cyan misty fog, and the boundlessly huge Sæhrímnir was roaring, howling, and charging within this cyan fog.
But its speed and flexibility could never catch up to Wuzhiqi sitting atop the dark cloud. When it charged forward, the dark cloud would also follow it forward.
When it retreated, the dark cloud would also follow it back. When it charged high into the air, the dark cloud would also abruptly rise, consistently ensuring that Sæhrímnir could not touch even a fraction of it.
However, the cyan fog was not as gentle as it looked from afar. Instead, countless fine raindrops tainted with Ren Water Divine Power transformed into watery blades, fiercely bombarding Sæhrímnir's body covered in giant trees and earth-rock like bullets, stirring up a ground full of dust.
Every single raindrop emitting cyan light had extreme lethality. After piercing through the giant trees and earth-rock, their remaining momentum unabated, they could still fiercely pierce into Sæhrímnir's body, ruthlessly carving away the flesh on Sæhrímnir's body.
Sæhrímnir felt the pain, roared irritably, and jumped up and down in the void, yet it was completely helpless.
Its body was carved until it was dripping with blood, yet flesh grew back rapidly. Even under the attack of such fine raindrop blades, Wuzhiqi's killing speed still could not keep up with its speed of recovery and flesh regeneration.
Sæhrímnir grew rapidly as if being force-fattened, and its body swelled more and more.
I must say this monster's regenerative ability was truly astonishing. Only because Wuzhiqi itself was a gold-quality divine monster could it so easily breach the earth-rock armor on Sæhrímnir's body. If it were orange quality, it probably wouldn't even be able to break through the defense, let alone injure this monster.
But even so, under Sæhrímnir's terrifying regenerative ability, it was still very difficult to effectively weaken its body.
The next second, Wuzhiqi chanted softly, "Divine Power: Summon Wind and Rain."
The originally fine raindrops suddenly became even finer. If looking from afar previously, the cyan raindrops under the dark cloud looked like a huge curtain, then the raindrops now looked like an extremely thick and bright cyan laser, a death laser with heaven-shaking lethality!!
Beneath that cyan rain curtain, one could still faintly see Sæhrímnir roaring and charging inside. As this heavy rain pouring down resembled a beam of cyan laser, Sæhrímnir's figure could completely no longer be seen. Its entire body had been completely submerged by these almost entirely seamless cyan raindrops.
No matter how strong its regenerative ability was, Sæhrímnir was carved until it almost lost all the flesh on its back in an instant.
This was no longer heavenly might; no matter how terrifying the rain was, it did not have such power. This was a deity going all out, and it was also the terrifying power displayed through the exquisite coordination of Wuzhiqi's martial arts skills, spell skills, and advanced divine powers at the pinnacle of mastery.
Wuzhiqi roared, "Li Tiance!! Right now, set the target!! Shoot!!"
On the other side, Li Tiance had already started charging his power when Wuzhiqi summoned the rain cloud.
The golden bow in his left hand blazed with intense golden light, and the white arrow in his right hand shone with a stern white light.
They were like two incomparably sharp giant blades traversing across the void, and the light they emitted was even more dazzling than the stars.
And on top of that white arrow, besides thick five-colored light entwining it, various colored powers surrounded the space around it as well.
Sun Po felt familiar psychic power, seemingly also telekinetic power, destructive power, and many powers that Sun Po had never seen or heard of before.
Managing these powers was obviously no easy task. Li Tiance's right hand was trembling constantly, and even his entire right arm and right half of his body were laboriously pulling this arrow to a wider angle. If Wuzhiqi was not ready yet, Li Tiance might not have been able to hold on much longer over here.
Li Tiance, persevering bitterly, had been waiting for the moment when Wuzhiqi shouted "Shoot!". Though it was only a short half-minute, it felt to Li Tiance as long as half a year.
Along with this long-awaited shout of "Shoot!!", Li Tiance also felt a sense of relief. Finally, he loosened his right index finger, fiercely shooting this strongest arrow he could currently fire toward the undying rune set in his heart!!
