Chapter 322: Promotion to Level 5, Law Domain

Chapter 322: Promotion to Level 5, Law Domain

2025-01-01

After perfecting the super-long-range firepower and the floating tower, Sunan immediately began the formation of his golem army without any delay.

In his plan, the main force of the golem army would consist of Steel Golems, High-Grade Spider Puppets, and Fine Gold Golems as the core legendary puppets.

These legendary-level puppets would form the foundational framework, creating an entire golem army.

As for the core combat power, it would be comprised of Shadow Steel Golems, Vajra Golems, Touch Master Puppets, Secret Puppets, and Supreme Golems, which were Wizard-level puppets.

Considering the cost of Wizard-level puppets, this portion would not be too large, initially estimated at around 3%.

The proportion of Wizard-level puppets could be gradually increased later.

Don't underestimate this 3%, as in Sunan's plan, the number of puppets in the Floating City's golem army would reach a staggering two hundred thousand.

3% of that is six thousand!

It's worth noting that currently, the Star Alliance, excluding the golem armies within their Wizard Towers, has just over ten thousand Wizard-level puppets combined in their Witch-hunting Legion, regular legions, and planar defense forces.

The number of Wizard-level puppets in a single Floating City is equivalent to half of the Star Alliance's total, highlighting the astonishing quantity.

Given the vast number of puppets, Sunan directly assigned the manufacturing of all legendary-level and most Wizard-level puppets as tasks to the wizards under his command.

The Star Alliance has grown significantly, and the total number of wizards has surpassed seven thousand, rapidly approaching the ten-thousand mark.

Not long ago, four planes, including the Yak Plane and the Bear Eye Plane, have been successively transformed, increasing the number of human planes in the Star Alliance to ten.

Since then, three more planes have joined the transformation process.

With a solid population base, the number of wizards in the Star Alliance is growing rapidly.

Sunan estimates that it will take another three to four hundred years for the total number of wizards in the Star Alliance to break through the ten-thousand mark.

Additionally, the number of Level 2 wizards in the Star Alliance is also approaching this milestone.

Just recently, Staff, Facado, and Qing Wei have been promoted to Level 3 wizards one after another.

As of now, there are four Level 3 wizards in the Star Alliance, including Sunan himself.

The shortage of high-end combat power has been significantly alleviated.

The manufacturing of Wizard-level puppets is primarily handled by these Level 2 and Level 3 wizards.

As for the more advanced Supreme Golems and Constructed Lifeforms, only Sunan himself can create them.

In the entire Star Alliance, only he possesses the ability to manufacture Level 3 puppets.

Creating Supreme Golems is manageable for Sunan, as he has prior experience, and with sufficient materials, it's merely a matter of time.

Although Constructed Lifeforms are precious, they are not prohibited strategic resources in the major wizarding forces.

Even without the blueprints, one could purchase a Constructed Lifeform, dismantle it for research, and eventually recreate the blueprints, albeit at a slower pace.

However, Sunan didn't want to waste too much time and, with a wave of his hand, directly spent mana stones to purchase the blueprints from the Codex of Wisdom.

Additionally, he had the experimental notes promised by Mai Ya.

With the blueprints and experimental notes, Sunan quickly familiarized himself with the construction of the three types of Constructed Lifeforms.

His Puppet Refinement skill, though not as advanced as Magic Artifact Crafting, was at level 7, almost reaching level 8, which was sufficient for crafting Constructed Lifeforms.

"I can start by refining Supreme Golems. The experience gained from a hundred Supreme Golems should be enough to raise my Puppet Refinement skill to level 8, making it easier to craft Constructed Lifeforms afterward."

After careful consideration, Sunan decided to choose Mana Armored Constructs as the final combat sequence for the Starlight Sky City.

In terms of combat capabilities, Mana Armored Constructs surpass both Mithril Sages and Arcane Guardians.

Regarding cost, he has the means to synthesize Soul Crystals, making the production of Mana Armored Constructs more cost-effective than other wizards.

Initially, Sunan planned to manufacture thirty Mana Armored Constructs.

However, the manufacturing difficulty of these Constructed Lifeforms is not much lower than that of Divine Body Golems, and the materials are also hard to gather. It is estimated that achieving the predetermined goal will take a considerable amount of time.

"We can temporarily slow down the development of lower planes and divert more resources towards the production of more advanced puppets, aiming to complete this within a century."

"Once the golem army is ready, we can proceed with the construction of the floating device, and the Floating City will be complete."

Sunan exhaled a deep breath and left the Floating City, heading towards the Realm of Truth.

Time passed, and before he knew it, the year 428 of the Starlight Calendar had arrived.

It had been over four hundred years since Sunan first entered the Realm of Truth.

During this time, he had been teaming up with Mai Ya and the others to search for temporary Law Nodes, but to no avail.

On occasion, they had even encountered deities face-to-face.

However, in the absence of conflicting interests, both parties wisely chose to maintain a respectful distance, exchanging glances from afar before going their separate ways.

Although he failed to find a new Law Node, Su Nan's cultivation in the Realm of Truth's advantageous environment allowed him to comprehend the Law at an impressive rate. He was just a step away from breaking through to the Manipulation Rank in the Gravitational Law.

In a tower in the northwest of Wizard Town, Su Nan sat cross-legged, his mind completely immersed in cultivation.

Invisible to the naked eye, strands of Synthesis Law Power rushed into his body, merged through the cube, and slowly circulated through his limbs and bones, gradually dissipating over time.

With each dissipation of the Synthesis Law Power, his understanding of the Gravitational Law deepened.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Nan's consciousness trembled, and he suddenly felt a profound and mysterious sensation. The previously subtle barrier between his True Spirit and the Gravitational Law in the void seemed to dissipate significantly, and the connection between the two suddenly deepened.

Su Nan's heart stirred, and he opened his eyes to summon the panel.

[Su Nan Anest, Male / True Spirit Sorcerer (Manipulation Rank)]



[Dominion Laws]



Gravitational Law: 100 Energy Level

Thunder Law: 6.89 Energy Level

"Finally, finally broke through."

A smile appeared on Su Nan's face.

Nearly 700 years had passed since he was promoted to a True Spirit Sorcerer, and he had finally raised the Gravitational Law to 100 Energy Level.

Although he was promoted as a True Spirit Sorcerer with Dual Laws, reaching 100 Energy Level in any one Law is sufficient for promotion to the Manipulation Rank, also known as the Fifth-Rank Sorcerer.

To be honest, this promotion speed is already astonishing.

It's not uncommon for True Spirit Sorcerers to spend tens of thousands of years to reach the Manipulation Rank, let alone just under 700 years.

If this news spreads, the genius halo around Su Nan will deepen.

Snapping out of his joy, Su Nan began to test his newfound strength.

The Manipulation Rank indicates a True Spirit Sorcerer's ability to skillfully apply the Law, significantly enhancing their understanding and application of Law Power.

The most obvious sign is the ability to temporarily repel other Laws within a certain area, leaving only the Law they control, thus forming a Law Domain.

As Su Nan's thoughts moved, within a kilometer radius around him, the void seemed to pause, as if an invisible change had occurred.

In Su Nan's perception, the Laws within this kilometer radius were expelled, leaving only the Gravitational Law.

Law Domain!

This is the signature ability of a Fifth-Rank True Spirit Sorcerer.

Within the Law Domain, unless countered by similar Law Power or forces, the True Spirit Sorcerer is nearly invincible.

Even in the presence of a deity's divine realm, a Fifth-Rank Sorcerer can use the Law Domain to counter and negate the realm's suppressive forces.

"A powerful ability!"

Su Nan nodded in agreement.

With this ability, he could even challenge and destroy a large Sorcerer Tower alone!

"The control over the Gravitational Law has also become much more precise."

With a thought, ten fist-sized gravity black holes appeared in the surrounding void, distorting the void and creating wrinkle-like twists.

The next second, the ten gravity black holes suddenly converged, merging into an even larger gravity black hole the size of a human head.

As the black hole formed, the distortion in the surrounding void became more apparent, even revealing countless spider-web-like spatial cracks.

Just by looking at it, one could sense its terrifying power!

After experimenting for a while, Su Nan reluctantly stopped, still feeling a sense of wonder.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"The power of the Manipulation Rank Law is indeed formidable."

"I wonder what the power of the Dominion Rank Law would be like?"

Su Nan's eyes flashed with longing, but he quickly shook his head.

"The Divine Spark, Light Awakening Potion, Synthesis Law Power, Law Node, and the unique environment of the Realm of Truth—with all these advantages, it still took 700 years to raise the Gravitational Law to 100 Energy Level."

"And now, with the Divine Spark exhausted, without a new Law Node, it's a delusion to think that I can raise the Gravitational Law to the Dominion Rank within tens of thousands of years."

The Manipulation Rank Law corresponds to an energy level range of 100 to 999, a ninefold increase from the Mastery Rank to the Manipulation Rank!

Without the aid of a Divine Spark or Law Node for cultivation, raising the Law by 900 energy levels is a conservative estimate, even taking tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, Su Nan also needs to raise the energy level of the Thunder Law.

With this thought, the initial joy from the breakthrough diminished.

"The Gravitational Law's energy level can continue to rise, but there won't be a qualitative change in the short term."

"It's better to first raise the energy level of the Thunder Law to the Manipulation Rank; then, my strength will significantly increase."

Action: "Regarding the Law Core..."

"Oh, almost forgot about the Law Core."

Su Nan focused his mind and sensed the Law Core deep within his consciousness. With the breakthrough in Law Level, the burden on the Law Core had significantly lessened.

"We can try to enhance the Law Core further to accommodate higher-level Law Power."

Su Nan had attempted to create a second Law Core to contain the Thunder Law Power, but the result left him somewhat disappointed.

The capacity of his consciousness for Law Cores was limited. It wasn't that he couldn't accommodate multiple Law Cores, but the ultimate capacity couldn't exceed the current Law Core.

In other words, the high-level Law Power he could control was limited.

Given this, Su Nan had to abandon the idea of creating a second Law Core, and the current Law Core would only be prepared to accommodate the Gravitational Law Power.

After all, at the same level, the Gravitational Law was clearly stronger than the Thunder Law.

Su Nan quickly made up his mind, focused his thoughts, and once again immersed himself in cultivation.

In the following period, Su Nan returned to his previous state of running between the Realm of Truth and Starlight City, focusing entirely on cultivation and the construction of the Floating City.

He left the Soul Sink Plane and searched for a new dimension with a prominent Thunder Law to serve as his permanent cultivation location.

It wasn't that the efficiency of comprehending the Thunder Element Plane was low, but the entry into the Thunder Element Plane was completely random each time.

This meant that every time Su Nan entered the Thunder Element Space, he had to reselect his cultivation location and rearrange the defense spell array, undoubtedly wasting a lot of time and energy.

So, he decided to find a suitable dimension as his cultivation location; after all, the effect was almost the same.

The difficulty of comprehending Elemental Laws was slightly lower than that of Rule Laws, and the Law Level increased more quickly.

Su Nan estimated that without external assistance, such as Law Nodes or Deities, it would take about two to three thousand years to raise the Thunder Law to Level 100.

Regarding the Floating City, the construction of the Magic Statue Legion was also proceeding smoothly.

"You broke through?"

When they met again, Mai Ya keenly sensed the changes in Su Nan and couldn't hide her astonishment.

For high-level True Spirit Sorcerers, it was easy to perceive the fluctuations in the Law Power of lower-level True Spirit Sorcerers.

Before today, as a Level 5 Sorcerer, Mai Ya could easily sense the ebb and flow of Law Power on Su Nan.

But now, she couldn't perceive it at all.

In her perception, the Law fluctuations on Su Nan had completely subsided, as if he were a Level 3 Sorcerer who had not yet advanced.

This meant that Su Nan had become a True Spirit Sorcerer of the same level as her! Morik and Ortis also quickly noticed the changes in Su Nan.

Not long ago, they could still sense the Law aura on Su Nan, but now it had become completely opaque.

Almost simultaneously, the two men made the same judgment as Mai Ya, and they were both shocked.

"I broke through not long ago," Su Nan admitted frankly. "Thanks to the special environment of the Realm of Truth."

"..."

Mai Ya, Morik, and Ortis looked at each other, their hearts filled with amazement.

While the Realm of Truth could significantly improve the efficiency of True Spirit Sorcerers in comprehending Laws, it wasn't that extraordinary.

Morik and Ortis, who had been cultivating in the Realm of Truth for much longer than Su Nan, had only reached the Dominion Rank, yet Su Nan had quickly surpassed and left them far behind.

Such a huge gap left them in awe and disbelief.

Even Mai Ya, who had always been optimistic about Su Nan, didn't know what to say at this moment.

He was too monstrous!

It took Mai Ya a good while to process the news, and she looked at Su Nan with complex emotions.

"This is also good news for us. Our team's strength has increased significantly, and we can now consider searching deeper into the Deity-occupied areas."

Morik and Ortis exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

They had been searching in the middle of the buffer zone and near Wizard Town, but to no avail.

Moreover, several temporary Law Nodes had been discovered in this area recently, further reducing the search area and decreasing the chances of finding a Law Node.

"If we move closer to the Deity-occupied areas and expand our search range, we'll have a better chance of finding a Law Node."

Su Nan thought for a moment and agreed.

Seeing this, Mai Ya made the decision.

"Then it's settled."
