Chapter 281: Underworld Law Power
Boom! Boom!
The deafening sounds of Cursed Rune Ray, Plasma Cannon, and Pulse Ray tearing through the void echoed in the sky!
Multicolored Spell Radiance nearly blotted out the entire sky, assaulting the Abomination of God from all directions.
The various Wizard Factions had formed an unprecedented alliance and launched a joint siege.
Yet, despite their efforts, they were still unable to overpower the Abomination of God.
The mist shrouding the Abomination firmly kept the barrage of attacks and spells at bay.
Each round of concentrated fire would slightly dim and thin the mist, but it soon became dense again.
Centered on the Abomination, an area with a radius of one hundred kilometers was engulfed in thick Poison Mist.
From above, the wilderness resembled a jade-green crystal that had appeared out of thin air.
The Wizard Tower and War Creation could traverse through the Poison Mist, but ordinary soldiers and Golem Puppets could not.
Even the Golem Puppets, which had great resistance to Poison Mist, would instantly melt into puddles of metal upon contact. Flesh-and-blood soldiers, on the other hand, were reduced to mere blood almost instantly.
In less than fifteen minutes of fighting, the various Wizard Factions had suffered heavy losses and hastily withdrew their remaining troops, leaving only Wizards and Wizard-Level Puppets to participate in the battle.
As Gavin watched the Abomination of God charge left and right amidst the siege, constantly slaying Wizards and Wizard-Level Puppets, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Glancing back at the Thousand-Headed Bird army that had already retreated far away, his heart ached.
In the sudden, rapid spread of Poison Mist, the Thousand-Headed Bird army had lost more than half its forces!
In the more than six months since they had entered the Earth Crystal Plane, their combined losses had never been this great!
At that moment, he admired Su Nan's decisiveness and foresight.
Among the numerous Wizard Factions present, only the Star Alliance, which had wisely retreated early, had not suffered any losses.
"If he had known it would come to this, he should have retreated with the Star Alliance!"
Gavin felt a pang of regret.
"Lord Gavin, what do we do now?"
Bryce's words pulled Gavin from his thoughts.
Snapping back to reality, Gavin said without hesitation, "Retreat! The further we are from here, the better!"
"What about Wisdom Codex's side..."
"Our initial agreement was only to assist Wisdom Codex in collecting God Corpse Fragments. We've completed that task. We have no obligation to help them fight that monster. Besides, that creature isn't something we can handle. The True Spirit Wizard outside will make their move soon enough."
Bryce secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Honestly, he didn't want to face such a terrifying monster either. There was no benefit to participating in the battle, and it could very well cost him his life. He had no desire to take on such a thankless task.
Bryce looked up and saw Gavin staring intently in a particular direction. Confused, he asked, "Lord?"
Gavin frowned. "Have you seen Su Nan?"
Bryce paused, then shook his head. "No, he must have already left."
"Is that so?"
Gavin recalled seeing Su Nan watching from a distance earlier, but in the blink of an eye, the other man had vanished.
However, he didn't dwell on it, assuming Su Nan had simply retreated far away.
Little did he know, Su Nan had already ventured deep into the Poison Mist.
Sizzle!
A barely audible sound reached his ears, the faint noise of the Poison Mist corroding his protective field.
To avoid making too much noise, Su Nan didn't use his Absolute Forbidden Zone; instead, he activated the 'Forbidden Zone' Wizard Tool on his body.
Yet, even the 'Forbidden Zone', a top-tier, third-stage Wizard Tool, was visibly deteriorating under the corrosive power of the Poison Mist.
"What a potent poison!"
"I suppose it's to be expected from the Abomination of God. Even Falling Star Rain enhanced by Talent Specialization would likely only be able to wound that Abomination. There's no hope of severely injuring or killing it."
Su Nan felt a chill run down his spine. He quickened his pace.
Although the Poison Mist obscured his vision, he relied on his Spiritual Power to quickly locate the entrance of the cave.
Just standing at the entrance, he could already feel the majestic Energy Particle Fluctuation emanating from within. Its intensity was the greatest he had ever encountered!
Time was of the essence. Su Nan, unable to dwell on his emotions, suppressed the wild joy in his heart and cautiously stepped into the cave. The cave walls were marked by obvious signs of Poison Mist corrosion, pockmarked and uneven. The floor was coated in a layer of disgusting green slime, from which a faint green mist rose, visible to the naked eye.
The moment he came into contact with the green mist, the speed of the Restricted Area Protective Field’s corrosion increased significantly. However, Su Nan couldn't afford to focus on that now. His gaze was completely drawn to the ball of Seven Colored Vortex Light deep within the cave.
As soon as the orb entered his vision, Su Nan felt his Sea of Consciousness tremble slightly. The flow of Liquid Mental Power around his third Talent Crystal suddenly accelerated, and small crystals began to condense one after another. At the same time, on the interface, the percentage representing the condensation level of Spiritual Power began to rise: 0.13%, 0.15%, 0.18%.
"It really is a Law Source Vein!" Su Nan exclaimed, his eyes shining brightly. Close exposure to a Law Source Vein could quickly enhance the Spiritual Condensation of a Wizard, which was one of its defining characteristics. However, using this method would ultimately damage the Law Source Vein, greatly slowing the rate at which a Plane developed into a Plane Cluster, so few Wizard Factions would be so wasteful. An ordinary Wizard would never have such an opportunity in their lifetime!
In the short span of three or four breaths, Su Nan's Spiritual Condensation rose by 0.38%. This was nearly equivalent to the results of two years of regular practice for him.
Although he felt ecstatic, Su Nan did not forget his true purpose. He took a deep breath to calm himself and began to extract Law Power. Law Power had extremely high requirements for a carrier medium; even high-grade Magic Gems would not suffice. Fortunately, this was not a problem for Su Nan.
In his Space Ring, he had stored plenty of Divine Energy Crystals that he had extracted and condensed over time. Pure Divine Energy Crystals were among the best carrier mediums for Law Power.
Just in case, Su Nan had synthesized it a bit, enhancing the strength of the Divine Energy Crystal before proceeding.
As his mind flickered, his Spiritual Power instantly dispersed, forming an invisible palm in the void that slowly reached toward the seven-colored vortex.
The Law Source Vein, as the convergence point of Law Power, contained not a specific attribute of Law Power, but the purest Origin Law Power.
Compared to ordinary Law Power with specific attributes, it was half a level higher in rank and far surpassed Spiritual Power.
The difference between the two was like the distance between heaven and earth.
Thus, the moment it touched the seven-colored vortex, Su Nan felt his Spiritual Power being rapidly absorbed and assimilated.
In just an instant, nearly one-tenth of his Spiritual Power had been consumed!
Su Nan's heart tightened, and he immediately took a Spirit Pearl from his Space Ring and held it in his palm, quickly drawing Spiritual Power to replenish what he had lost.
The Spirit Pearls were precious items he had traded for in the City of All Things, and with only three in his possession, he originally planned to save them for emergencies during battle.
However, the situation was special now, and he couldn't afford to be stingy. Su Nan focused his mind, manipulating the invisible hand made of Spiritual Power to slowly extract a wisp of Seven Colored Rainbow Light from the vortex, guiding it into the Divine Energy Crystal.
In an instant, a touch of seven-colored light appeared in the center of the Divine Energy Crystal and gradually spread.
In less than a dozen breaths, all three Spirit Pearls were exhausted, and Su Nan's Spiritual Power was also on the verge of depletion.
Having no choice, he stopped the extraction.
At this point, more than two-thirds of the volume of the Divine Energy Crystal had turned seven-colored.
Without delay, Su Nan sat down cross-legged and began to recover his Spiritual Power.
Under the influence of the Law Source Vein, the recovery speed of his Spiritual Power was astonishingly fast.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Nan's Spiritual Power had returned to its peak state.
He then resumed extracting Law Power.
After three consecutive attempts, the Divine Energy Crystal finally turned completely seven-colored.
At the same time, Su Nan's Spiritual Condensation also surpassed 30%.
In just this short amount of time, the increase in Spiritual Condensation was already equivalent to more than a hundred years of his cultivation.
Just as Su Nan was preparing to synthesize the second Divine Energy Crystal and continue extracting Spiritual Power, his expression suddenly shifted, and he looked up toward the top of the cave.
In that instant, he distinctly felt that the invisible restraint enveloping the entire Earth Crystal Plane had completely vanished.
The True Spirit Wizards had lifted the blockade on the Earth Crystal Plane!
"Well, it can only go this far," Su Nan sighed, a hint of regret in his voice.
If he had been granted another hour or two, he might have achieved a direct breakthrough to Level 3 Crystallization and extracted more Law Power to prepare for his ascension to True Spirit Wizard.
Unfortunately, those True Spirit Wizards had acted too swiftly.
"Oh well, the gains are substantial already; I shouldn't be greedy."
Decisive as ever, Su Nan resolutely put away the Divine Crystal and turned to leave the cave.
If he were to be trapped in the cave by the True Spirit Wizards, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Leaving the cave, Su Nan moved away from the battlefield, casting a glance back at the center of the fighting.
The battle was still raging fiercely.
Compared to half an hour ago, Abomination of God bore noticeably more wounds, and the concentration of mist surrounding him had significantly diminished.
However, his opponents were in even worse shape.
Of the hundred or so Wizard Towers that had besieged Abomination of God, only forty or fifty remained.
The tens of thousands of Wizards and Wizard-Level Puppets were now scattered and sparse, with an estimated total of fewer than two thousand. It was a devastating loss.
Now battling Abomination of God was a monstrous giant, over ten meters tall, with dark gray skin and protruding fangs.
A thin mist formed from smoke surrounded the giant, faintly taking on the shape of countless faces screaming in fear and pain.
"Soul Giant, is it?" Su Nan immediately recognized the giant's origin.
The Soul Giant was one of the most famous innate abilities of the Gloomy Throne—immensely powerful but limited to only three uses for those below the True Spirit Wizard level.
Unless one considered themselves a genius capable of ascending to True Spirit Wizard, they typically wouldn’t choose this innate ability.
Back then, Youxi had also utilized this ability.
Su Nan focused his gaze, and from the giant's ferocious features, he could vaguely make out the appearance of Bo Ben.
"It seems Bo Ben has been pushed to the brink, even resorting to such a trump card," he thought.
Just as he was observing, a voice suddenly called out from afar.
"Su Nan, your Excellency."
Su Nan turned to see Gavin and Bryce flying towards him.
"I thought you had already left. I didn't expect you to stay as well," Gavin said, surprised.
Su Nan replied calmly, "After all, it's my first time seeing a living Abomination of God. I'm a bit curious."
Gavin's expression instantly turned serious. "Indeed, that is an Abomination of God. I was uncertain before."
He glanced at the battlefield, admiration evident in his expression. "No wonder so many from the Wizard Faction joining forces couldn't suppress that monster!"
"But it ends here," Su Nan said, looking up at the vast sky.
In the empty sky, more than ten cracks suddenly appeared, quickly expanding, and figures began to emerge from them.
An immense mental field instantly enveloped the entire plane, making Su Nan and Gavin feel a tightness in their chests, as if they couldn't breathe.
At the same time, the Abomination of God, engaged in fierce battle, suddenly raised its head to look at the figures in the sky.
This monster, which had displayed nothing but cruelty, ferocity, and fearlessness since its appearance, now wore a human-like expression of fear.
It instinctively took a step back, then suddenly let out a sharp roar, its claws tearing a crack in the void as it prepared to escape.
But in the next instant, an invisible wave descended, solidifying the surrounding space.
The crack that the Abomination of God had torn open instantly sealed shut!
Dimensional Anchor!
Space Lockdown Spell!
This small Fourth Circle spell, when cast by a True Spirit Wizard, was incredibly powerful, sealing an area of thousands of miles in an instant.
The Abomination of God was now confined within this space!
At that moment, a pitch-black giant palm suddenly descended from the sky, pressing down on the Abomination of God like a collapsing mountain!
Where the jet-black giant palm passed, invisible tremors rippled outward, tearing and shattering the surrounding void. Everything within turned to dust, only to instantly recombine in an endless cycle!
The once-bright sky suddenly darkened as clouds surged forth, rolling in layers and releasing an overwhelming pressure that made it nearly impossible to remain conscious.
Even from a great distance, Su Nan felt a tremendous pressure crashing down upon him, making him gasp, as if a heavy boulder had fallen on his chest, leaving him breathless.
“It’s Gloomy Throne's Wood!”
Gavin stared at the jet-black giant palm with a complicated expression, reflecting both apprehension and longing.
“The Underworld Law Power he wields is said to be a higher-level power than Elemental Power!”
A higher-level power, huh?
Su Nan's eyes glinted darkly as he focused on the jet-black giant palm.
“Roar!”
As the giant palm descended, the pressure from all sides squeezed the Abomination of God relentlessly, leaving him no room to evade. He was forced to roar in madness as a torrent of green mist surged from his body, churning as it rose to meet the attack head-on!
In full view of everyone, the jet-black giant palm and the surging green mist collided fiercely in the void!
Boom!
A deafening sound erupted, unleashing terrifying shockwaves that spread outward in all directions, twisting and tearing apart the void!
After a moment of stalemate, the jet-black giant palm shattered the green mist, slamming down on the Abomination of God and sending him plummeting to the ground like a meteor!
