Chapter 226: Shortcut to Great Mastery of the Laws
Those recognized by the Law will form a peculiar symbol on their Forehead, which not only represents the type of Law they comprehend but also reflects the depth of their understanding. According to Sun Zhe, the deeper one's understanding of the Law, the more intense the aura of this Law symbol on their forehead will be.
For instance, compared to his master Sea Elder, whose Forehead symbol's aura is significantly stronger, Sun Zhe cannot compare at all. Similarly, the aura of the Lightning Symbol on Zhan's Forehead is much more potent than his, indicating that Zhan's understanding of the Law surpasses his own.
However, throughout this time, Sun Zhe did not understand how this symbol was formed or what power it contained. Therefore, when Lu Lin's Green Leaf Symbol penetrated his body, his expression immediately changed. Without hesitation, he gathered all his Spiritual Power to block this strange force transformed from the Wood Elemental Law.
Although Sun Zhe's cultivation was merely at the peak of the Fourth Stage, his Spiritual Power could rival that of Fifth Stage experts. This meant that Sun Zhe's Spiritual Power could easily compare to those elders from major Sects. Yet, such powerful Spiritual Power still could not withstand the strange force transformed from the Wood Elemental Law. This strange force moved like a Python and swiftly entered Sun Zhe's Forehead.
His forehead suddenly felt warm as the hidden Lightning Symbol on Sun Zhe automatically revealed itself. However, this was not the most important part; what mattered most was that Sun Zhe was astonished to find that the strange force transformed from the Wood Elemental Law had actually fused with his Lightning Symbol. The aura emitted by his Lightning Symbol also increased significantly, and at the same time, his comprehension of Thunder Law skyrocketed to a new level.
"This... how is this possible..."
Sun Zhe widened his eyes in disbelief. Lu Lin clearly comprehended the Wood Elemental Law; how could energy transformed from the Wood Elemental Law possibly merge with his Thunder Law? If that were the case, all he needed to do was kill a few strong individuals who understood their respective Laws and seize their Law powers. Wouldn't that allow him to directly elevate his own Law to great mastery? How many opponents would he have then?
Thinking of this, Sun Zhe swallowed hard and suppressed this crazy thought deep within himself. He understood that achieving Great Mastery of the Laws could not be so simple. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to kill those who were not recognized by the Law. This kind of enhancement would not remain effective for long. Nevertheless, the recent boost in Law power still made it hard for him to contain his excitement because that single moment of absorption could equate to years of comprehension, allowing him to elevate his understanding of Thunder Law directly.
Sun Zhe was not an ordinary person; he quickly calmed his excited emotions. With a wave of his right hand, Yin Huai Iron Corpse flickered and once again merged into Sun Zhe's shadow.
Although this entire process took a long time to describe, it actually only lasted a few breaths. By the time Sun Zhe completed everything, everyone had just begun to awaken from their shock. At this moment, Sun Zhe couldn't help but cast his gaze toward Zhan, who was battling Sword Flood in mid-air.
Zhan's strength could undoubtedly be called The First Person among the younger generation of Thunder Continent. Even now, Sun Zhe admitted he was no match for Zhan because throughout their encounters—whether against him or Sword Flood—Zhan had never even used the Bronze Giant Sword strapped to his back. This meant that Zhan had not yet unleashed his true power.
"Should I leave him here as well..."
Watching Zhan clash with Sword Flood from a distance, Sun Zhe's eyes flickered slightly. Joining forces with Sword Flood and others to eliminate Zhan seemed somewhat hopeful. Killing Zhan now would not only remove a significant threat in the future but also allow him to absorb Zhan's Law symbol. With this thought in mind, Sun Zhe felt a surge of temptation.
"Brother Sun, leave this to me; you should go protect Sister Tang."
While Sun Zhe was hesitating, Xi Men Zhuo spoke to him with a serious expression. He understood that the strong individuals from Green Forest and Flame Continent who had descended upon the Nine Continents Mainland were not just the ones in front of them. It was not safe for Tang Yuexi, who had fled into the distance, and since Sun Zhe was stronger than him, it was best for Sun Zhe to protect Tang Yuexi while he commanded the others below.
After Xi Men Zhuo's words, Sun Zhe realized that the figures of Tang Yuexi and Liu Mei had already disappeared at the edge of the plain. Clearly, they had taken advantage of the earlier battle to escape towards the east.
Thinking about Tang Yuexi and Liu Mei, Sun Zhe couldn't help but frown. Xi Men Zhuo was right; his main task was still to protect Tang Yuexi, and everything else was not as important at the moment.
"Then I'll leave this to you."
Sun Zhe quickly made up his mind, cupping his hands towards Xi Men Zhuo as he spoke. Once he finished speaking, he did not delay any longer and transformed into a shadow, darting off into the distance.
"Brother Sun, don't worry. After I deal with these people, I'll come find you immediately," Xi Men Zhuo said with a slight smile, calling out to Sun Zhe's retreating figure. He then charged towards Fire Kun, who was engaged in battle with Li Zhen, clearly intending to use the same tactic again to eliminate another top expert from Flame Continent.
As Sun Zhe rushed eastward, a cold smile appeared on the face of Zhan, who was battling Sword Flood in mid-air. Turning to look at Sword Flood charging at him again, a fierce pride flashed in his eyes as he calmly said,
"I don't have time to play with you anymore. Die!"
With a quiet murmur, Zhan waved his right hand forward, and Void suddenly unleashed a massive net of thunder that accurately enveloped Sword Flood. At that moment, Sun Zhe had already sprinted eastward, completely unaware of the ongoing battle on the plain.
Although Sun Zhe was only a fourth-tier Cultivator and theoretically could not fly using Yukong, he had learned the Flying Technique taught by his master. The Flying Technique was merely a form of Martial Arts and was not complicated. After such a long period of practice, Sun Zhe had already reached a high level of mastery. In an instant, his white figure flashed away, and he appeared hundreds of feet away.
Sun Zhe's speed was astonishing; within half a cup of tea's time, he had left the range of the plain and found himself facing a hill. Although he could not yet see what was happening on top of the hill clearly, the dazzling light from their Divine Ability clashes was particularly striking, and the continuous explosive sounds reached his ears clearly.
Sun Zhe's expression changed slightly as he increased his speed again. His flight path in mid-air resembled a white streak as he quickly appeared on top of the hill. However, what he saw made him shudder slightly.
A top expert from Flame Continent was engaged in battle with Liu Mei, but Liu Mei was clearly at a disadvantage. Meanwhile, Tang Yuexi was being besieged by several elites also from Flame Continent. If it weren't for Jingjing's miraculous abilities blocking those terrifying Divine Radiance attacks aimed at her opponents, Tang Yuexi would likely have been captured long ago.
However, this was not the most intense battle on the hill; the fiercest clash involved two individuals in mid-Void combat. One wore a light yellow brocade robe—none other than Zheng Bin from Thunder Temple—while the other had long blue hair and radiated dazzling purple light all over his body. With a wave of his hand came thunder and lightning; he was none other than Thunder Abyss, an elite disciple from Golden Thunder Sect.
Clearly, Thunder Abyss has already collaborated with the enemy, intending to take Tang Yuexi away.
Seeing this scene before him, Sun Zhe immediately understood why Lu Lin had shown no fighting spirit earlier; their purpose was to buy time and intercept everyone. In such a situation, they didn't need to fight desperately because the real captor of Tang Yuexi was someone else. If Zheng Bin hadn't appeared here at some point, Tang Yuexi would have likely fallen into their hands long ago.
Noticing the precarious situation of those around him, Sun Zhe immediately joined the battlefield without hesitation. His first priority was naturally to save Tang Yuexi. In fact, when Sun Zhe appeared, many powerful figures on the hill had already noticed him. Upon seeing Sun Zhe, the people from Thunder Continent immediately showed expressions of joy, while the numerous strong individuals from Thunder Abyss and Flame Continent couldn't help but darken their expressions.
"Brother Sun..."
Hearing Tang Yuexi's delighted voice, Sun Zhe felt slightly dazed; her voice was just like Qiu Ruo calling for him back in the day. Taking a deep breath, Sun Zhe stomped his right foot heavily on the ground and charged toward Tang Yuexi's direction. At that moment, two powerful figures from Flame Continent blocked his path.
The cultivators from Flame Continent naturally practiced fire power, and those sent to Nine Continents Mainland were all among the best. The two of them formed hand seals and summoned two massive fireballs out of thin air, hurling them toward Sun Zhe from two directions.
"You overestimate yourselves!"
A cold glint flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes as he unleashed his full speed and darted directly between the two giant fireballs. His fists struck simultaneously against the chests of both opponents with tremendous force. The impact sounded like cracking bones as the two from Flame Continent were instantly sent flying!
With his right hand clawing through the air, Sun Zhe unleashed his perfected Divine Ability—Thunder Dragon's Claw—once again. A violent Thunder Power immediately spread across the hilltop. The enormous Thunder Dragon's Claw, several meters wide, descended with overwhelming force. The three strong figures from Flame Continent had no time to resist and were reduced to mere flesh and blood, staining the ground red.
