Chapter 158: Ice and Fire Laws
Chapter 158: Ice and Fire Laws
“Venerable Ones from each war zone, quickly take action and clear the Blood Fiend blood in your zones!”
“In critical situations, activating the Matrix Tower’s fire element attack formations is permitted!”
“In short, we absolutely cannot give the Blood Fiends even the slightest chance to survive!”
Lu Hangzhi emerged from seclusion, instantly killing two complete Blood Fiends and turning the tide. At the same time, he sent a message to all Spirit Coalescence Elders at Two Realms Mountain.
The next moment, the temperature across Two Realms Mountain suddenly soared.
Wide-ranging fire element Art Techniques overlapped, appearing in every corner of Two Realms Mountain…
Wherever the Blood Fiend blood landed, from small fireballs to city-incinerating flames, they repeatedly and frantically evaporated every trace of moisture in the ground.
The bloody mist rose halfway before being completely annihilated by the high temperature!
“What a waste, so many precious materials.”
“Indeed.”
Honglian and the others watched as the blood rapidly evaporated under the fire Art Techniques, and the Blood Fiends’ remnants slowly turned charred black, their expressions pained.
But everyone knew this was the right thing to do.
As the fire Art Techniques overlapped without any blind spots, no Blood Fiends escaped; threats in every nook and cranny were sealed off.
Situ, Biluo, and Lu Hangzhi only needed to deal with those Blood Fiends that rushed out through the Sky Passage while the Spatial Rift Formation was intermittently overloaded and disconnected.
The pressure on Two Realms Mountain greatly decreased!
Biluo continuously cast Art Techniques, killing multiple Blood Fiends until his Magic Power was nearly depleted. Just as he was taking out various Elixirs to replenish himself, he looked down and saw the Mirror Spirit Cat bringing over a Qiankun Pouch.
The pouch was stuffed full with hundreds of bottles of Spirit Honey…
“Haha!”
“So timely!”
“Hangzhi, you kid, although your heart is a bit black, you’re much more reliable compared to those self-proclaimed righteous cultivators.”
If initially coming here from Yanfu Mountain was due to Situ’s pressure and the threat of the Demon Army, now, Biluo was genuinely convinced and willing to follow.
Lu Hangzhi resolved the biggest problem on Two Realms Mountain in a short time, protecting the several thousand Mind Focusing Cultivators in the rear.
Moreover, his speed in single-handedly killing Blood Fiends was almost catching up to Biluo’s. Both in strength and overall perspective, he deserved the position of commander at Two Realms Mountain.
The Blood Fiends still madly charged at the Sky Passage!
But as the cultivators united and fought fervently, the pressure and fear the Blood Fiends brought were no longer as suffocating and despairing as at the beginning.
The cultivators were gradually adapting to the pressure brought by the Mystic Light Stage Demonic Fiends!
Situ’s expression remained normal as he still shouldered the main burden alone.
Biluo and Hangzhi assisted from the side.
Many cultivators, while feeling relieved, also felt a trace of worry:
“Will it continue like this?”
“These Demonic Fiends seem endless.”
“No amount of Elixirs will be enough.”
“I wonder when the Mystic Light Immortal Lords from the Seven Great Sects will arrive…”
“The people from Yanfu Mountain are here already!”
Many felt dissatisfied with the conduct of the Immortal Lords from the Seven Great Sects.
Time continued to pass.
Situ, Biluo, and Lu Hangzhi formed an unbreakable iron triangle, firmly guarding the exit of the Sky Passage!
Blood Fiends that fully emerged from the Sky Passage had no chance to strike and were instantly killed.
“Hangzhi, kid.”
“Speak, Immortal Lord Biluo.”
“We agreed earlier that the spoils belonging to me, you must keep them all for me. I know exactly how many Blood Fiends I killed.”
“Don’t worry, your share is secure.”
“Hmph, that’s best then.”
Biluo snorted and continued fighting.
Situ glanced helplessly at Biluo and shook his head:
An Evil Cultivator will always be an Evil Cultivator.
No wonder even under the guidance of those two Heavens, he only progressed this far. It seems those two were also worried Biluo would harm the world, so their guidance was limited.
Huh?
Situ suddenly turned to look at the Matrix Tower where Lu Hangzhi was, his face full of surprise and doubt:
In her view, Lu Hangzhi was the cultivator with the fastest growth speed she had ever seen.
The first time they met at Two Realms Mountain, he was just an Epiphany Stage Tenth Grade Cultivator ordered to reinforce the Core Battle Zone, yet he stood out among many Late Concentration Stage and peak experts, even defending a war zone alone.
With a little guidance from her, he grasped a trace of Sword Formation’s Law Power, becoming the Logistics Commander of Two Realms Mountain, the top figure below the four Inspector Envoys.
After being forcibly promoted to Epiphany Stage Eleventh Grade by the Time Sect, not only did his cultivation speed not slow down due to the sudden surge, but he continued advancing rapidly, reaching Epiphany Stage Twelfth Grade on the journey to Yanfu Mountain.
This time coming to Two Realms Mountain, she indeed wanted to use Lu Hangzhi’s power to temporarily slow the erosion and destruction of the Barbarian Continent by the Demon Army…
But!
What she never expected was that Lu Hangzhi broke through his limits again at the critical moment, ascending a step on The Path to Divinity. His silver Magic Power advanced and transformed into gold, equivalent to his cultivation directly leaping to the Mystic Light level. His strength surged, and he could now easily master the first three layers of the Seven-Seven Sword Formation and wield Space Law power.
But what shocked her even more was:
As his cultivation and Spiritual Sense strength increased, the two mysterious soul Clones seemed to have a seal unlocked, both radiating the aura of mid Mystic Light Stage cultivators.
Too heaven-defying!
They were actually growth-type Divine Thought Clones.
“This kid is too lucky.”
Situ didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, Lu Hangzhi himself hadn’t realized it yet, still immersed in the changes brought by breaking through to the second level of The Path to Divinity. He hadn’t immediately noticed the strange condition of his two Clones.
Only when Situ sent a mental message to remind him did he finally realize he actually possessed two mid Mystic Light Stage Divine Thought Clones…
His Spiritual Sense coverage became wider!
The combat power of his Divine Thought Clones became stronger.
“No wonder Biluo was so eager to subdue his two masters.”
After understanding, Lu Hangzhi was extremely excited, feeling pleasantly surprised as if hit by a pie falling from the sky.
…
The Law Power on the Male God and Female God’s Sword Qi grew increasingly powerful, one fiery and one freezing, covering several meters around. Any Blood Fiend grazing it would have half its body ignited or frozen. In a flash, four Blood Fiends were slain. Their momentum was so fierce, it was no less than the grand achievement Sound Wave Law of Mystic Light.
Situ, intrigued, stopped moving and stood in mid-air, saying:
“Hangzhi, for the next wave, you try.”
His voice carried far, and all the cultivators at Two Realms Mountain showed astonished expressions.
Lu Hangzhi did not hesitate at all!
“Alright!”
Under the startled and nervous gazes of thousands, the Male God and the Female God walked gracefully out of the Matrix Tower, calm and unhurried.
“It’s coming!”
Situ shouted loudly to alert everyone, “Don’t feel pressured, any that slip through, I’ll handle.”
“Okay!”
With Situ providing backup, Lu Hangzhi felt even more at ease.
In the Sky Passage, the Spatial Rift Formation dimmed once more. The electric barrier suddenly became full of holes. Dozens of Blood Fiends took advantage, howling as they descended, weaving through the falling rain of blood and severed limbs, wings beating as they emerged.
This wave saw a total of thirty-five Blood Fiends rush out of the Sky Passage.
“Go!”
Lu Hangzhi stood calmly inside the Matrix Tower, layering his threefold Spiritual Sense to lock onto all thirty-five Blood Fiends.
The Male God and the Female God, expressionless, attacked simultaneously.
Fourteen Flying Swords soared into the air with a roar!
As the two Mystic Light mid-stage Divine Thought Clones made their move, the entire Two Realms Mountain was instantly plunged into a strange state of simultaneous ice and fire.
Biluo stared, dumbfounded.
He saw.
Seven strands of the Law of Fire, and seven strands of the Frost Law, shot skywards from two directions, turning the entire space alternating red and blue, flickering unsteadily.
The Blood Fiends that had just burst out of the Sky Passage into the sky of the Barbarian Continent were immediately suppressed by the alternating hot and cold Laws. They became disoriented on the spot, feeling dizzy and confused.
Sword light flashed!
Seven Motions with One Thought!
One Sword Seven Kills!
Sword lights wildly crisscrossed and intertwined.
In an instant, the thirty-five Blood Fiends were sliced apart by the sword lights—the last one was directly blasted apart by the two opposing Law Powers, shattering into a bloody rain.
Biluo was left stunned on the spot, utterly bewildered.
The esteemed Mystic Light mid-stage cultivator, the leader of the top evil sect on the Barbarian Continent, stared fixedly at the sky, silent for a long time!
The other Cultivators were also speechless, taking a while to regain their composure.
“Was that… Lu Hangzhi’s doing?”
“So strong!”
“Did you see that? The whole sky over Two Realms Mountain changed color just now…”
“Were those really Mystic Light Stage Demonic Fiends that were killed?”
“I heard that for this reorganization of the Two Realms Mountain defense line, all three Mystic Light Cultivators were brought by the former Logistics Commander Lu Hangzhi. If we had waited for people from the Seven Great Sects to arrive, the entire Barbarian Continent would have long been overrun by these Demonic Fiends!”
“Yeah, if it weren’t for the three Mystic Light experts guarding Two Realms Mountain, relying only on the ordinary Mind Focusing Cultivators from the Eight Great Sects, the Barbarian Continent would already be engulfed in chaos…”
“Speaking of which, why haven’t the Immortal Lord Xuan Guang from the Seven Great Sects appeared yet?”
Righteous faction members discussed Lu Hangzhi’s cultivation and strength, while the evil faction members criticized the tardy Immortal Lord Xuan Guang of the Seven Great Sects. For a time, the Matrix Towers across the hundreds of War Zones on Two Realms Mountain were bustling with noise…
“How does it feel?”
Situ transmitted his voice.
Lu Hangzhi took a deep breath and said:
“The more powerful the Divine Thought Clones are, the more I feel the strength of you Upper Realm people is unfathomable.”
“So what? That mysterious couple truly possess extraordinary power; even I am far inferior! I think your greatest trump card now is no longer the Space Law, but your Divine Thought Clones.”
“Oh?”
Lu Hangzhi was startled.
Situ continued to explain: “With your current strength, every small breakthrough in your cultivation will automatically unlock a corresponding small stage in your Clones’ power! At Mystic Light mid-stage cultivation, their strength rivals Mystic Light late-stage, or even peak stage. Their power is not inferior to mine. You… understand what I mean?”
“You mean, I should focus on improving my cultivation.”
“Correct!”
Situ nodded and said, “Your Divine Thought Clones are very special. Their self-sealing preserved most of their consciousness and combat instincts; they are profoundly deep. It’s like having an inexhaustible treasure trove. At least until you reach the Creation Realm, these two Clones will be your greatest reliance and bargaining chip.”
As the two spoke, another wave of Blood Fiends rushed out of the Sky Passage!
The Male God and Female God once again performed the simultaneous ice and fire display. The two extreme Law Powers shook the Two Realms Mountain, effortlessly wiping out dozens of Blood Fiends.
Situ and Biluo found themselves temporarily free.
Lu Hangzhi lowered his head, pondering Situ’s suggestion, occasionally glancing up at the Divine Thought Clones faithfully carrying out the command to guard Two Realms Mountain.
Situ’s proposal was indeed good.
The Male God and Female God’s Law Powers were astonishing. Just by improving his cultivation, he could command even stronger dual-attribute Law Powers.
But!
Lu Hangzhi looked up at the Sky Passage:
Fish, I desire it;
Bear’s paw, I also desire it!
How to solve this…
Grab both!
Make both hands strong
