Chapter 281: The Power of Dark Law

Boom! Boom!

Enchanted Rays, Plasma Cannons, and Pulse Beams ripped through the void, filling the sky with deafening explosions.

The colorful glow of spells and abilities nearly covered the entire sky, attacking the Divine Abomination from all directions.

The various Sorcerer forces had joined forces like never before, launching a joint siege.

However, even with this unprecedented unity, they were unable to suppress the Divine Abomination.

The mist surrounding the Abomination blocked out the barrage of spells and attacks, keeping them at bay.

After each wave of concentrated fire, the mist would dim and thin out, but it wouldn't be long before it thickened again.

Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers around the Abomination, the area was enveloped in thick, toxic mist.

From high above, the wilderness appeared to have a new, emerald-green crystal formation.

The once lush and dense forest had been completely eroded and withered by the toxic mist.

Sorcerer Towers and War Constructs could navigate through the mist, but ordinary soldiers and golem puppets could not.

Even the golem puppets, which had high resistance to the toxic mist, melted into pools of metallic liquid upon contact. As for the soldiers with their flesh and blood, they turned into pools of blood almost instantly.

Within a short time, the Sorcerer forces suffered heavy casualties, and they quickly retreated, leaving only Sorcerers and Sorcerer-level puppets to continue the fight.

Gavin couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine as he watched the Divine Abomination rampage through the siege, killing Sorcerers and Sorcerer-level puppets with ease.

He turned to look at the Thousand-Headed Bird Army, which had retreated to a safe distance, and his heart bled.

During the sudden expansion of the toxic mist, the Thousand-Headed Bird Army had lost more than half of its troops! In the half a year since entering the Crystal Plane, they had never suffered such a devastating loss.

It was then that Gavin truly appreciated Su Nan's decisiveness and foresight.

Among the numerous Sorcerer forces present, only the Star Alliance, which had retreated early on, remained unscathed.

Gavin regretted not following the Star Alliance's lead and retreating with them.

"What should we do now, Lord Gavin?" Bryce's question interrupted Gavin's thoughts.

Gavin snapped out of his reverie and replied without hesitation, "Retreat, the further away from here, the better!"

"About the Codex of Wisdom..."

"Our initial agreement was only to assist the Codex of Wisdom in collecting the Divine Corpse fragments, and we've already fulfilled that. We have no obligation to help them deal with that monster, especially since it's beyond our capabilities. The True Spirit Sorcerers outside won't take long to intervene."

Bryce heaved a silent sigh of relief upon hearing this.

To be honest, he didn't want to face such a terrifying monster either.

There was no benefit to engaging in battle, and it might even cost them their lives. Bryce didn't want to undertake such a thankless task.

Bryce looked up and noticed Gavin staring intently in a particular direction. "Lord Gavin?" he asked, puzzled.

Gavin frowned, "Did you see Su Nan?"

Bryce paused, shook his head, and replied, "No, he should have left by now."

"Is that so?"

Gavin remembered seeing Su Nan observing from a distance earlier, but when he looked away for a moment, Su Nan had disappeared without a trace.

However, Gavin didn't think much of it, assuming that Su Nan had retreated to a safe distance.

Little did he know that Su Nan had ventured deep into the toxic mist.

A faint sizzling sound reached Su Nan's ears, as the toxic mist silently eroded the protective force field of his Ban Zone artifact.

To avoid making too much noise, Su Nan didn't activate the Absolute Ban Zone, instead, he activated the Ban Zone, a top-tier third-grade Sorcerer artifact.

Even the Ban Zone's force field, considered one of the best, was visibly eroding under the corrosive influence of the toxic mist.

"Such potent toxicity!"

"I suppose it's no surprise for a Divine Abomination. Even the Falling Star Rain, enhanced by Talent Specialization, might only injure it. Hopes of severely wounding or killing it are futile."

Su Nan's heart sank as he quickened his pace.

Although the toxic mist obscured his vision, his spiritual power allowed him to sense the location of the cave quickly.

Just standing at the entrance, he could feel the powerful energy particles emanating from within.

The intensity of the energy was the strongest he had ever encountered.

With time of the essence, Su Nan suppressed his elation and cautiously stepped into the cave.

The cave walls bore visible signs of erosion from the toxic mist, with pits and depressions, and the ground was covered in a layer of nauseating green slime, from which a faint green mist rose.

The moment Su Nan came into contact with the green mist, the erosion of the Ban Zone's force field accelerated.

However, Su Nan had no time to worry about this, as his attention was completely captured by the colorful swirling light deep within the cave.

As the ball of light entered his vision, Su Nan felt a slight tremor in his consciousness sea, and the liquid mental energy around the third Talent Crystal began to flow faster, rapidly crystallizing into tiny particles.

At the same time, the percentage representing Mental Condensation on the panel started to fluctuate.

0.13% 0.15% 0.18%

"It's indeed a Law Source Vein!"

Su Nan took a deep breath, his eyes shining with excitement.

Direct contact with a Law Source Vein could rapidly enhance a Sorcerer's Mental Condensation, which was one of its defining features.

However, this method would cause depletion of the Law Source Vein, significantly slowing down the development of the Plane Cluster, so few Sorcerer forces would dare to be so wasteful.

Ordinary Sorcerers would never have such an opportunity in their entire lives! In just three or four breaths, Su Nan's Mental Condensation increased by 0.38%.

This was almost the result of two years of diligent cultivation.

Despite his overwhelming joy, Su Nan didn't forget his true purpose. He took a deep breath to calm himself and began to extract Law Power.

Law Power required an extremely high-quality medium to contain it, and even high-grade magical gems couldn't meet the requirement. Fortunately, this wasn't a problem for Su Nan.

His Spatial Ring contained numerous Divine Energy crystals that he had extracted and condensed during this period.

Pure Divine Energy crystals were one of the best mediums for containing Law Power.

To be safe, Su Nan synthesized and enhanced the strength of the Divine Energy crystals before beginning the extraction.

With a slight movement of his intent, his mental energy instantly dissipated, forming an invisible hand in the void, slowly reaching towards the colorful vortex.

As the focal point of Law Power, the vortex contained not a specific attribute but the purest form of primordial Law Power.

This was half a tier higher than ordinary specific attribute Law Power and far surpassed mental energy.

The gap between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.

As such, the moment Su Nan touched the vortex, he felt his mental energy being rapidly absorbed and assimilated.

In an instant, nearly one-tenth of his mental energy was consumed!

Su Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out a Spirit Orb from his Spatial Ring, holding it in his palm to quickly replenish his mental energy.

The Spirit Orb was something he had traded for in the City of Plenty, and as they were precious, he only had three. He had originally intended to keep them for combat emergencies.

But given the current situation, he couldn't afford to be stingy.

Su Nan concentrated his intent, controlling the invisible hand formed by mental energy to slowly pull out a strand of rainbow light from the vortex and guide it into the Divine Energy crystal.

In an instant, a rainbow hue appeared in the center of the Divine Energy crystal and gradually spread.

After just over a dozen breaths, all three Spirit Orbs were exhausted, and Su Nan's mental energy was nearly depleted.

With no other choice, he had to stop the extraction.

By then, more than two-thirds of the Divine Energy crystal had turned into a rainbow color.

Without delay, Su Nan sat cross-legged and began to recover his mental energy.

Under the influence of the Law Source Vein, his mental energy recovered at an astonishing rate.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Nan's mental energy had returned to its peak.

He then resumed extracting Law Power.

After three consecutive attempts, the Divine Energy crystal finally turned entirely rainbow-colored.

At the same time, Su Nan's Mental Condensation broke through 30%.

In just this short time, the increase in Mental Condensation was equivalent to over a century of his cultivation.

Just as Su Nan was preparing to synthesize a second Divine Energy crystal and continue extracting mental energy, his expression shifted, and he looked up towards the top of the cave.

In that instant, he clearly felt that the invisible confinement that had enveloped the entire Crystal Plane had completely disappeared.

The True Spirit Sorcerers had lifted the seal on the Crystal Plane!

".I can only go this far."

Su Nan sighed with a hint of regret.

If he had another hour or two, he might have been able to break through to the Third Tier Crystalized directly and extract more Law Power to prepare for his advancement to a True Spirit Sorcerer.

But the True Spirit Sorcerers had acted too swiftly.

"It's enough; I can't be too greedy."

Decisively, Su Nan put away the Divine Energy crystal, turned, and left the cave.

If he were to be blocked by the True Spirit Sorcerers in the cave, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Leaving the cave, Su Nan retreated from the battlefield while keeping an eye on the central area.

The battle raged on with intense ferocity.

Compared to half an hour ago, the Divine Abomination had sustained numerous additional wounds, and the concentration of mist around it had significantly decreased.

However, its opponents were in an even more dire state.

Of the hundreds of Sorcerer Towers besieging the Abomination, only forty to fifty remained.

The tens of thousands of Sorcerers and Sorcerer-level puppets had thinned out to less than two thousand, a devastating loss.

And now, the creature engaged in a fierce battle with a giant over ten meters tall, with dark gray skin, protruding fangs, and a hideous appearance.

A thin layer of smoke surrounded the giant, forming countless faces screaming in fear and agony.

"A Dead Soul Giant?" Su Nan immediately recognized the giant's origin.

The Dead Soul Giant was one of the most famous Talent Crystals of the Dark Throne, possessing immense power but limited to only three uses in a lifetime for anyone below the level of a True Spirit Sorcerer.

Unless one considered themselves a genius with the potential to reach the True Spirit Sorcerer rank, they would usually not choose this Talent Crystal.

You Xi had initially displayed this ability.

Su Nan focused on the giant's hideous features and could vaguely make out Bo Ben's appearance.

"It seems Bo Ben is desperate enough to use such a hidden ability."

Just then, a voice called out from a distance.

"Lord Su Nan."

Su Nan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gavin and Bryce flying towards him.

"I thought you had left, I didn't expect you to stay as well," Gavin said in surprise.

Su Nan replied calmly, "After all, it's the first time I've seen a living Divine Abomination, and I'm curious."

Gavin's expression turned solemn, "It's truly a Divine Abomination, I wasn't completely sure before."

He turned to look at the battlefield, marveling, "No wonder so many Sorcerer forces couldn't suppress that monster!"

"But it ends here," Su Nan said, looking up at the sky.

In the empty sky, over a dozen rifts suddenly appeared, quickly expanding as figures emerged from within.

An immense mental force field instantly enveloped the entire plane, causing Su Nan and Gavin to feel a stifling sensation in their chests, as if they couldn't breathe.

At the same time, the battling Divine Abomination also looked up at the figures in the sky.

This monster, which had been brutal and fearless since its appearance, now showed a humanized expression of fear.

It instinctively took a step back, then let out a fierce roar, tearing a rift in the void with its claws, attempting to escape through it.

But in the next moment, an invisible wave enveloped and solidified the surrounding space.

The rift torn by the Abomination instantly sealed shut!

Dimensional Anchor!

Spatial Lock Spell!

This small four-ring spell, cast by a True Spirit Sorcerer, exhibited formidable power, instantly sealing the space within a thousand li radius.

The Divine Abomination was trapped within this confined realm!

The next instant, a gigantic black palm descended from the sky, like a mountain range crushing down upon the Abomination!

Wherever the black palm passed, invisible ripples spread out like waves, tearing and shattering the void, reducing everything in its path to dust, only to reassemble and repeat the process endlessly! The once clear sky suddenly darkened with rolling clouds, emitting an endless, overwhelming pressure that made it almost impossible to maintain consciousness.

Even from a great distance, Su Nan felt a powerful pressure surge towards him, causing him to gasp and feel as if a heavy stone had dropped into his chest, making it hard to breathe.

"It's Wood of the Dark Throne!"

Gavin's gaze was fixed on the black palm, his expression a mix of awe and longing.

"His mastery of the Dark Throne's Law Power is said to be a higher-tier Superior Law Power, surpassing elemental power!"

Superior Law Power? Su Nan stared at the black palm, and a fleeting glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Hoo!"

As the black palm descended, the pressure from all directions squeezed the Abomination, leaving it nowhere to dodge, causing it to roar frantically. A massive amount of green mist surged from its body, rising up to meet the palm!

In full view, the black palm and the surging green mist collided violently in the void!

A deafening roar erupted, and the terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, twisting and tearing the void. After a brief stalemate, the black palm broke through the green mist and slammed into the Abomination, sending it crashing to the ground like a meteor!
