Chapter 615: Battle of the Law Aspects
Huo Laoban and Mo Jingnan simultaneously closed their eyes and rapidly formed hand seals, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
Yet, neither of them had conspired. The reason for such unspoken understanding was that both had sensed the other's formidable nature, and thus, both wished to employ their strongest techniques to utterly defeat their opponent and bring an end to this battle.
As their hands rapidly formed seals, plumes of black smoke billowed up from their bodies, their auras astonishingly powerful. Before the hand seals were even complete, their invisible spiritual fields clashed, causing the very space in the area they occupied to subtly tremble.
Moments later, their hand-sealing movements paused in unison. Then, both opened their eyes simultaneously, guttural voices filled with intense killing intent emanating from their lips.
“Ghost Art! Death God's Law Aspect! ”
“Spiritual Art! Spirit Aspect! ”
Their voices echoed almost in perfect sync. The space above them violently vibrated at that instant, and then, two colossal divine figures simultaneously manifested in the sky.
The surrounding Night Watchers had set up a restraining barrier, enveloping the entire Hongyu Cement Plant to prevent the commotion from being detected by the outside world, which might draw in fearless spectators. It also served to prevent anyone from intentionally or unintentionally intruding and causing unnecessary trouble for tonight's operation.
Although the restraining barrier had been jointly set up by the Night Watchers, before the two gigantic Law Aspects, their combined barrier was as good as non-existent, instantly torn apart by the two colossal divine figures!
Of these two Law Aspects, one was naturally the Death God's Law Aspect summoned by Huo Laoban. Its appearance was indistinguishable from a Death God statue, identical to the Death God's Law Aspect Yang Haoran had summoned when executing this very technique.
The other Law Aspect, however, was the Spirit Aspect summoned by Mo Jingnan. This Spirit Aspect was astonishingly identical to the Spiritual God Statue on the high platform!
As the two Law Aspects simultaneously appeared in the sky, winds surged and clouds gathered. Terrifying power fluctuations emanated from both figures!
Below, Yang Haoran and the others ceased their attacks one after another, looking up at the two colossal Law Aspects in the sky.
Inside the protective barrier, the Spiritualists, who had been devoutly prostrating themselves before the Spiritual God Statue, also raised their heads after sensing the two terrifying power fluctuations.
Whether it was Yang Haoran's side or the Spiritualists' side, when they beheld the two immense Law Aspects overhead, their expressions all underwent a dramatic change!
However, the drastic change in their expressions wasn't solely because of the terrifying power emanating from the two Law Aspects, but rather because of the Spirit Aspect summoned by Mo Jingnan!
Yang Haoran and his allies, for their part, all disbelieved that a 'Spiritual God' had truly appeared in this world. They merely considered Mo Jingnan's claims to be the ravings of a madman, a mere tactic to control the Spiritualists.
But now, Mo Jingnan had actually summoned a Spirit Aspect. Could it be that a divine being had truly emerged among the Spiritualists?
If no 'Spiritual God' had appeared among the Spiritualists, then how was this colossal Spirit Aspect to be explained? Was it merely a secret Spiritual Art?
At this moment, disbelief still lingered in their hearts. Yet, gazing at the Spirit Aspect overhead and sensing the suffocatingly terrifying power fluctuations, their minds were now primarily filled with shock.
The Spiritualists within the barrier, however, felt entirely different from Yang Haoran and his group.
Initially, they too had disbelieved that a divine being had truly appeared among them. Later, seeing Mo Jingnan speak with such conviction, their disbelief had turned to doubt and suspicion. Even as they prostrated themselves before the Spiritual God Statue in prayer, many among them still harbored doubts. It was only because they had no other choice that they followed Mo Jingnan's instructions, prostrating themselves and praying to the Spiritual God Statue.
But now, seeing Mo Jingnan actually summon the Spirit Aspect, their doubts vanished completely. If no Spiritual God had appeared among the Spiritualists, then how could this Spirit Aspect be explained? On this point, they and Yang Haoran's group had arrived at the same conclusion.
Though they had reached the same conclusion, their reactions differed significantly. Yang Haoran and his companions wore grim expressions, while the Spiritualists inside the barrier became indescribably agitated.
It wasn't just Yang Haoran and the others who looked grim; even Huo Laoban, who had consistently maintained a calm demeanor, now had an expression of utter shock plastered across his face.
Like Yang Haoran and his group, he didn't believe that some ridiculous 'Spiritual God' had truly appeared in this world. Yet, the Spirit Aspect summoned by Mo Jingnan filled him with a sense of powerlessness, leaving him unable to refute it.
Meanwhile, Mo Jingnan sneered, his gaze fixed on the high platform below. His expression held a hint of triumph, but more profoundly, pride.
“After tonight, you too will be able to summon Spirit Aspects, for I shall impart this art to you. By then, you will no longer need to envy the Death God's Law Aspects of those Yin dogs! ”
The Spiritualists within the barrier, whose hearts were already trembling with inexpressible excitement, heard Mo Jingnan's words and instantly felt their agitation surge to another level!
“That's if you even survive tonight! ”
All trace of a smile had vanished from Huo Laoban's face. His expression turned solemn, his gaze icy. As he spoke, the Death God's Law Aspect hovering above him suddenly opened its eyes.
The very instant the Death God's Law Aspect opened its eyes, the Spirit Aspect above Mo Jingnan also opened its two heads' eyes simultaneously!
With their eyes open, both Law Aspects erupted with terrifying power. The two forces collided, causing space to shudder and a deafening roar to split the air!
Below, Yang Haoran and the others all felt a fierce gust of wind assault them, forcing them to mobilize their inner strength to stabilize their bodies.
Fortunately, they were on the ground, a considerable distance from the two divine figures. Had they been at the epicenter of the two forces' collision, the six of them would undoubtedly have been pulverized!
The mere act of opening their eyes had unleashed such terrifying power. Yang Haoran and the other five were utterly astonished.
Yang Haoran, in particular, was astounded. As an Underworld Official of the Underworld Office, he too knew the Ghost Art to summon the Death God's Law Aspect. However, the Death God's Law Aspect he summoned was worlds apart in power compared to the one Huo Laoban had just conjured!
The opening of their eyes was merely the beginning. Subsequently, under Huo Laoban's control, the Death God's Law Aspect raised an arm and slammed a palm strike towards the Spirit Aspect before it!
When Yang Haoran had controlled the Death God's Law Aspect in the past, merely raising its arm was immensely difficult, and the movement was slow. Yet now, under Huo Laoban's command, the Death God's Law Aspect's arm moved from raising to striking with a palm. It wasn't remarkably fast, but certainly not slow, and Huo Laoban remained completely unfazed, showing no signs of strain.
Although his strength had significantly improved and was vastly different from before, compared to Huo Laoban, he felt he still lagged too far behind. He might be able to make the Death God's Law Aspect deliver a palm strike at such a speed, but he absolutely couldn't do it with the same composed expression as Huo Laoban.
This wasn't a matter of courage, but of strength. If one's strength didn't support it, courage was useless, for the body simply couldn't endure.
As the Death God's Law Aspect unleashed its palm strike, cracks appeared in the space it traversed. Mo Jingnan, however, showed no fear. Under his control, the Spirit Aspect moved as well!
The Spirit Aspect's two arms were originally coiled around its waist. Now, under Mo Jingnan's control, one of the Law Aspect's arms retracted from its waist, returning to a normal posture, then raised itself to meet the Death God's Law Aspect's incoming palm.
Boom! ! !
The two palms slammed together, unleashing a thunderous roar that reverberated throughout Cloud River City, startling countless sleeping residents awake.
Space shattered, and dust and debris flew across the ground. Yang Haoran and the others swayed, and cracks spread across the ground beneath their feet. Their expressions were filled with shock, a mixture of awe and terror regarding the two Law Aspects' single palm strike. If that strike had landed on any one of them, merely having their guts splattered would have been a light outcome; nine times out of ten, not even a speck of them would have remained.
After this clash of palms, the two Law Aspects began to crack and crumble from the point of impact. This scene occurred not because the two Law Aspects were insufficiently powerful, but due to the summoners' own limitations in strength.
As the two Law Aspects rapidly disintegrated, Huo Laoban and Mo Jingnan were both simultaneously sent flying by the immense force. Huo Laoban let out a painful groan, then wretchedly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion turning ashen.
Mo Jingnan, on the other hand, consecutively spurted out three mouthfuls of blood before finally managing to stabilize himself in mid-air. Not only was his face pale and his aura weak, but his Soul Fusion state was also shattered, his Guardian Spirit forcibly ejected from his body!
