Chapter 303: Gravity Gem and Gravity Talent

Chapter 303: Gravity Gem and Gravity Talent

December 7, 2024

After spending over three months in the Thunder Element Space, Su Nan received a message from Li Ze, prompting his return to the Starlight Continent.

Upon their reunion, Li Ze immediately shared some news.

"The Star Spirit Clock Tower has recently deployed a Floating City."

Su Nan's gaze intensified, "Which Floating City?"

"The Bamboo Grove Plane," Li Ze replied.

The Floating Cities of wizard factions are usually stationed in various core planes.

Taking the Star Spirit Clock Tower as an example, their Floating Cities typically guard the main planes and core sub-planes of the plane clusters during non-war times.

Therefore, keeping an eye on these planes is essential for tracking the movements of the Floating Cities.

The Bamboo Grove Plane is one of the core sub-planes of the Giant Peak Plane cluster, where the Star Spirit Clock Tower is located.

"Which True Spirit Wizard is guarding the Bamboo Grove Plane?"

"Gant Sharp," Li Ze answered, "His Blazing Sun City departed from the Bamboo Grove Plane three days ago, but its destination remains unknown."

Su Nan understood the situation.

He didn't know which wizards from the Star Spirit Clock Tower were ambushing the Spider Queen, but at this point, the deployment of the Floating City could only mean they were targeting the Spider Queen.

Su Nan's eyes flickered, and he said to Li Ze, "Gather the troops immediately and assemble at the Wave Plane. Keep the operation as discreet as possible."

Li Ze was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why are you gathering the troops?"

Su Nan smiled enigmatically, "What if I told you I plan to commit deicide?"

"You're joking," Li Ze exclaimed.

Su Nan spread his hands.

Seeing this, Li Ze finally realized he wasn't joking and was astonished, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Which deity are you planning to confront?"

"The Spider Queen."

Although Su Nan now controlled the Gravity Law, his power was still inferior to that of a true True Spirit Wizard.

To successfully commit deicide, he couldn't do it alone; he needed to mobilize troops to have any chance of success.

This action required Li Ze's assistance and cooperation, so informing her of the detailed plan beforehand was necessary.

"The Spider Queen?" Li Ze furrowed her brows, puzzled.

She recalled Su Nan mentioning that during the Starlight Continent's plane blockade, the Spider Queen had attempted to interfere, only to have her plot thwarted by Su Nan. There had even been a brief confrontation between them.

Strictly speaking, Su Nan and the Spider Queen had a significant grudge.

However, this alone might not be enough for Su Nan to consider committing deicide.

After all, the Spider Queen was formidable, and with the absorption of the New Moon Divine Role, her power had significantly increased. Taking action against her at this time seemed unwise.

If he truly wanted revenge, waiting until he became a True Spirit Wizard would be more prudent.

Noticing Li Ze's confusion, Su Nan cleared his throat and explained the ambush on the Spider Queen by the wizards.

Upon hearing this, Li Ze was shocked, and after a moment of stunned silence, she asked, "How did you find out about this?"

It was common knowledge that the Star Spirit Clock Tower's ambush of the Spider Queen was top-secret information. Even within the Star Spirit Clock Tower, only high-ranking members were likely to be aware of it.

How did Su Nan come by this knowledge?

"A wizard informed me," Su Nan replied calmly. "I have an agreement with him to keep his identity confidential, but I can assure you that the information is entirely reliable."

"I understand."

Despite her doubts, Li Ze didn't question Su Nan's words.

"Where exactly is the ambush taking place?"

"The Blood Abyss."

Li Ze's eyes flashed, revealing a mixture of surprise and expectation.

The Blood Abyss, like the Elemental Planes, was one of the outer planes.

Its vast expanse was hundreds of times larger than the Starlight Continent, but its environment was extremely harsh, filled with volcanoes, toxic swamps, and miasmic dead forests.

For ordinary beings, the Blood Abyss was like a poisonous wasteland, where they would perish instantly upon entering, their souls trapped and devoured by the creatures of the Blood Abyss.

Even powerful Great Knights would struggle to survive more than a day in the Blood Abyss.

Only the various demons native to the Blood Abyss could thrive there.

The Blood Abyss was teeming with countless demons, from weak ones that a knight could easily dispatch to formidable ones like the Blood Abyss Lord, capable of challenging deities and True Spirit Wizards.

In a sense, the demon population was virtually immortal and unending.

No matter how many demons were slain, the Blood Abyss would soon replenish its demonic forces, an endless cycle.

If not for the chaotic and infighting nature of demons, constantly slaughtering each other, the Blood Abyss would have likely conquered the entire Multiverse long ago.

The harsh environment, scarce resources, and countless dangerous demons deter most outsiders from venturing into the Blood Abyss.

However, this very aspect makes the Blood Abyss one of the best hiding places for many creatures to escape their enemies.

As long as one hides within the vast Blood Abyss, they can avoid being found by their enemies—provided they don't attract the attention of the Blood Abyss Lords.

The Spider Queen, in dire need of a place to hide and recover from her injuries, chose the Blood Abyss as her hiding spot, which wasn't surprising.

"But the Blood Abyss is so vast; how can we pinpoint the location of the Celestial Tower's ambush of the Spider Queen?"

"The place where they took action isn't far from the Blood River," Su Nan said, "We just need to search along the river."

Li Ze nodded in understanding.

The battle between a Divine Spirit and a True Spirit Sorcerer would undoubtedly be noticeable, and with a general idea of the area, finding them wouldn't be difficult.

"I understand. I'll personally oversee the preparations for the operation."

Li Ze spoke with a solemn expression.

When it came to dealing with a Divine Spirit, she couldn't afford to be anything less than serious and cautious.

Su Nan, also involved in matters concerning a Divine Spirit, became fully alert and prepared to set out for the Blood Abyss to scout the environment in advance.

However, before their departure, there were still some preparations to be made.

After mastering the Gravity Law, it had become one of his most powerful combat abilities, second to none.

However, considering the scale of his control and manipulation of Law Power, Su Nan felt it necessary to prepare some trump cards to make up for the power gap between himself and the Divine Spirits and True Spirit Sorcerers.

Before mastering the Gravity Law, Su Nan had only a few trump cards.

These included his innate abilities, Alchemical Engravings, Wizard Tools, and Engraved Gems.

Upon reaching Tier Three Crystallization, the power of his three innate abilities had increased significantly.

Among them, the Absolute Prohibition's might had skyrocketed due to his mastery of the Gravity Law.

However, these three innate abilities were effective against ordinary Tier Three Wizards but fell short against Divine Spirits.

Even with the boost from Alchemical Engravings, causing the power of his innate abilities to surge several times over, the threat to Divine Spirits was still comparable to a regular Gravity Wave.

This highlighted the vast difference between Law Power and ordinary techniques.

Of course, this didn't mean that innate abilities were useless.

By infusing the mastered Law into his innate abilities and enhancing them, he could create higher-level Law Talents.

Even at the True Spirit Sorcerer level, Law Talents remained a formidable combat ability.

This process also helped Wizards gain a deeper understanding of the Laws.

In fact, many True Spirit Sorcerers quickly developed combat techniques related to Laws through this method.

As for Wizard Tools, unless they were divine-level weapons, their effectiveness in battles involving Divine Spirits or True Spirit Sorcerers was negligible.

Engraved Gems faced a similar situation.

The principle behind Engraved Gems was to compress and concentrate vast elemental energy into a gem, releasing it during combat for a burst of devastating damage.

However, Law Power was inherently more advanced than elemental energy.

Even if Su Nan combined Engraved Gems, their power would still pale in comparison to a mere thread of Law Power.

If one had to find a use for Engraved Gems, it would be as a last resort when their mental energy was depleted, and they couldn't manipulate Law Power anymore.

Of course, if one were truly in such a desperate situation, the remaining mental energy would likely only activate a few Engraved Gems, with minimal impact on the overall battle.

"The disparity in energy levels is clear, and unless this is addressed, the effectiveness of Engraved Gems will be limited."

Compared to innate abilities, the improvement of Engraved Gems was relatively straightforward—simply replace the elemental energy with Law Power.

For other Wizards, this might be a challenging task.

After all, infusing sufficient Law Power into a small gem to create a stable Law Gem was undoubtedly a highly complex process.

The fusion of Law Power with the gem, the stability of the fusion, and how to cause sufficient damage upon activation—each of these steps required countless research and experiments.

Even a True Spirit Sorcerer might not be able to figure it out.

But for Su Nan, who possessed the Fusion Cube, it was much simpler.

If the fusion of one unit of Law Power with a gem was challenging, then reduce the amount of Law Power.

The difficulty of fusing one-hundredth of a unit of Law Power with a gem would be at least nine-tenths less.

Following the same process as the Fusion Imprint Gemstone, he first created a weakened version of the Gravity Gem and then proceeded to fuse them.

With a clear idea in mind, Su Nan set to work.

Drawing on his experience with Fusion Imprint Gemstones, he successfully crafted the final product in less than ten days.

Thunder Element Space.

In the midst of dazzling thunderclouds, Su Nan stood suspended in mid-air, his fingers flicking out a dark-blue gemstone that shot towards the Elder Elemental Golem a hundred meters away like a swift arrow.

The Elder Elemental Golem, composed entirely of brilliant thunder light, had a humanoid upper body and a mist-like lower half. It exuded a fierce aura, surrounded by countless thin arcs of electricity resembling long snakes.

The moment the gemstone touched the thunder light on its body, it was shattered by the violent electric flash.

In the next instant, a profound and abyssal fluctuation erupted! A pure black light appeared in the void, emitting a terrifying suction force that instantly enveloped the entire Elder Elemental Golem!

The Elder Elemental Golem, with a power level equivalent to a Tier Three Crystallized Sorcerer, was helpless against this suction force. After struggling for only two or three breaths, it was pulled towards the black light with a terrified and desperate cry.

Upon contact with the black light, its massive body was twisted and sucked into the black light without any resistance.

Pop!

A soft sound echoed, and the black light dissipated.

Along with it, the Elder Elemental Golem vanished.

"Not bad!"

Su Nan's face lit up with joy.

The power of the Law Gemstone exceeded his expectations.

That tiny black light was akin to a miniature gravity black hole, posing a significant threat even to True Spirit Sorcerers.

Even a Tier Three Crystallized Sorcerer who had mastered the Law would suffer greatly if hit by it.

For a Tier Three Sorcerer who hadn't mastered the Law, it would be an instant death sentence.

"This is just the version I can control stably, ensuring it won't harm me after activation."

"If I use a Golem Puppet as a carrier and initiate an attack in a self-destruct form, I can further synthesize a more powerful Law Gemstone."

A gleam flashed in Su Nan's eyes, and he decided to manufacture both versions of the Law Gemstone.

"With the Law Gemstone settled, next is the Gravity Talent."

Considering his imminent trip to the Blood Abyss, Su Nan decided not to spend time comprehending the Thunder Law in the Thunder Element Plane. Instead, he focused on quickly improving the Gravity Talent.

After all, it was unlikely to successfully comprehend the Thunder Law in a short time.

Improving the Gravity Talent would be a more immediate way to enhance his combat strength.

In this regard, Su Nan already had some ideas.

The improvement of the Absolute Prohibition was relatively straightforward.

By infusing it with Gravity Law, the pressure of the force field could be significantly increased.

Next was the Liquid Metal.

Su Nan planned to integrate Gravity Law into the liquid metal, transforming it into a substantial gravity wave weapon.

Gravity waves were originally formless and intangible, but by using liquid metal as a carrier, they could take on a physical form.

Although this would make gravity waves visible, their power would be greatly enhanced when combined with liquid metal.

Moreover, with liquid metal as a carrier, the attacks could be more versatile and flexible.

Compared to these two advantages, the intangibility of gravity waves became insignificant.

After all, enemies like Divine Spirits and True Spirit Sorcerers didn't rely on their eyes to assess attacks; they used their spirits and senses.

The concept of intangibility held little meaning for such beings.

Lastly, the Falling Star Rain had less compatibility with the Gravity Law.

Su Nan could only increase the gravitational acceleration of the falling stars to enhance their impact.

"Perhaps I can simulate the process of a supernova explosion forming a black hole in a star, causing the falling stars to explode and create gravity black holes upon impact with the enemy."

Su Nan's eyes lit up with excitement.

If this could be achieved, the power of Falling Star Rain would be terrifying!

After all, there would be thousands of stars!

Equivalent to thousands of gravity black holes!

Even a powerful Divine Spirit would be obliterated by such a multitude of gravity black holes!

However, Su Nan quickly calmed down.

Currently, he couldn't even manifest a true gravity black hole, let alone a large-scale one.

This idea was worth researching, but he would have to wait until he advanced to a True Spirit Sorcerer and gained a deeper understanding and control over the Gravity Law before implementing it. For now, he needed to focus on improving the Gravity Talent.
