Chapter 327: Unpredictable Circumstances

Chapter 327: Unpredictable Circumstances

January 12, 2025

Within a hundred-kilometer radius of the plain, an invisible gravitational field suddenly enveloped the area, crushing it as if a thousand mountains were pressing down.

In an instant, even the void seemed to freeze.

Maisea, Morik, and Ortis were fine, protected by Sunan's secret magical seal, which prevented the suppression of the Gravitational Law. However, the Fire Whisker King bore the full brunt of this oppressive force, and his movements visibly slowed down.

The next second, the void distorted, and four pitch-black points, as dark as the depths of the abyss, suddenly appeared, rapidly expanding into four millstone-sized gravitational black holes. They surrounded the Fire Whisker King from all directions.

Wherever the gravitational black holes passed, the void crumpled like folded paper, creating layer upon layer of wrinkles that were terrifying to behold.

In the blink of an eye, the Fire Whisker King was surrounded by these black holes.

"Gravitational Law!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Fire Whisker King's voice, as if he had never encountered someone who mastered this obscure law.

But he quickly let out a cold laugh and roared, unleashing a torrent of raging flames that instantly extinguished Morik's whirlwind and Ortis's disintegration rays, while also knocking the rock giant away. Finally, the Fire Whisker King crashed into the black holes surrounding him!

The flames were silently devoured by the gravitational black holes and extinguished, but the black holes also shrank rapidly, and both eventually vanished without a trace.

Even when facing four True Spirit Wizards simultaneously, the Fire Whisker King remained unperturbed.

The renowned warrior, known for his mastery of fire and control over beasts, displayed an awe-inspiring power.

Maisea, Morik, and Ortis all paled at the sight.

They now doubted their ability to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

"Should we retreat?" Maisea's expression wavered.

After finding a permanent Law Node, a rare opportunity that only comes once in tens of thousands of years, she was reluctant to give up.

However, the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

As Maisea hesitated, she suddenly felt a massive surge of law fluctuations not far away.

She turned her head in surprise and was astonished to find that the source of this surge was Sunan.

He was suspended in midair, surrounded by layers of space distortions resembling wrinkles, and countless fist-sized gravitational black holes floated around him, slowly rising and falling unpredictably.

Despite their smaller size compared to the previous black hole, these black holes exuded an even more terrifying aura.

"Such powerful law strength!"

Morik and Ortis also noticed the change in Sunan.

They both gasped, their faces filled with astonishment.

The law fluctuations emanating from Sunan at this moment had reached an intensity of around 300, rivaling the Fire Whisker King's power.

"What is this?"

The Fire Whisker King was also taken aback.

However, before he could understand what was happening, Sunan launched his counterattack.

In an instant, hundreds and thousands of gravitational black holes flooded the Fire Whisker King like a torrent!

Sizzle! The dense sound of countless black holes tearing at the fabric of space, like the ripping of silk, sent shivers down their spines!

The Fire Whisker King, who held the Beast God position, had a physical strength far surpassing that of Mana Armored Constructs, but under the relentless pull of numerous black holes, his body became as fragile as paper, and he was torn to shreds in an instant.

"Roar!"

A furious beastly roar escaped the Fire Whisker King's mouth.

He charged left and right, extinguishing one black hole after another with his raging flames, but more black holes quickly formed, gradually restricting his ability to dodge.

With space itself being torn apart by the gravitational black holes, he couldn't even use spatial teleportation or similar abilities.

Maisea and the others had been stunned by the scene unfolding before them.

They never expected Sunan to have such a powerful move.

The once-invincible Fire Whisker King was now being overwhelmed by Sunan's onslaught.

The sight before them shocked the trio to their core.

But as they snapped back to reality, a look of delight appeared in their eyes.

Without hesitation, the three of them took action.

It was no longer a matter of holding out until reinforcements arrived; seeing Sunan's displayed power, they realized they had a chance to keep the Fire Whisker King here and accomplish the extraordinary feat of slaying a god!

The Fire Whisker King, sensing their intent, roared repeatedly as he tried to break through their encirclement.

If it were just Sunan, he could have escaped, even at the cost of severe injuries.

However, with the addition of the other three True Spirit Wizards, his hopes of escape were completely dashed.

Within the unique environment of the Realm of Truth, divine realms could not descend.

Without their most potent means of self-defense, even deities faced a high risk of falling here.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed across the wilderness.

The wind howled, magical lights shone, and the giant fist of the rock giant tore through the void, emitting a deafening boom that made one's chest feel tight. Along with this, the silent yet terrifying damage of the gravity black hole, countless attacks rained down on the Fire Whisker King.

Under the suppression of invisible gravity, even dodging became extremely difficult for the Fire Whisker King.

In just a short moment, there wasn't a single spot left undamaged on the Fire Whisker King's body.

Divine blood splattered, but before it could even fall to the ground, it was devoured and annihilated by the gravity black hole.

In its entire existence, the Fire Whisker King had never felt death so close.

Amidst its roars, its body was almost entirely engulfed in flames and swelled to over a thousand meters tall. It frantically charged left and right, but it couldn't break through the encirclement.

Sunan's expression remained indifferent as he watched this scene.

After breaking through to the Manipulation Rank, the power of the Law Core had increased to around 300 energy levels.

In the entire city, there were fewer than ten True Spirit Wizards and Deities who could surpass this energy level.

At least, the Fire Whisker King didn't have the strength to do so.

A faint glow flashed in Sunan's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a pitch-black glow slowly appeared at his fingertips.

In an instant, the surrounding void suddenly darkened, as if most of the light had been devoured by this glow.

The next second, the glow vanished and reappeared next to the Fire Whisker King, piercing its body like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

In the next instant, the massive fiery beast's body suddenly collapsed, shrinking rapidly like a deflated balloon, as if something was rapidly devouring its body.

In the blink of an eye, the Fire Whisker King's body, which was over a thousand meters tall, shrank to less than five meters, falling like a meteor and slamming into the ground.

Mai Ya and the other two looked on, noticing that a shocking cavity had appeared in the Fire Whisker King's chest, and the flesh and blood within had been completely devoured.

Deities had no vital points; even if only a finger remained, they could resurrect and restore their original bodies.

However, Mai Ya and the others could clearly sense that the vitality within the Fire Whisker King's body had been completely devoured.

Sunan's previous attack had utterly annihilated the Fire Whisker King's vitality.

This powerful Deity, renowned for its combat prowess and having killed many True Spirit Wizards, had fallen.

Looking at the divine corpse on the ground, Mai Ya and the others couldn't help but feel dazed.

Before this, they had never imagined that they would have the opportunity to kill the Fire Whisker King.

As they snapped back to reality, Mai Ya's gaze grew complex as she looked at Sunan.

Although she had always thought of Sunan as resourceful, his performance today left her speechless.

The ability to increase the Law's energy level by two or three times was beyond her understanding.

She couldn't fathom where Sunan had learned so many techniques.

The more Mai Ya interacted with Sunan, the more she felt like he was shrouded in a veil of mystery, making it impossible to see through him.

Just as Mai Ya's thoughts were running wild, she saw Sunan suddenly turn and wave his hand in a certain direction. A visible gravity wave roared out, instantly crossing over a thousand meters and striking a point in the void.

In the distorted space, four figures suddenly appeared.

Jude!

The instant Morik recognized the four figures, his expression changed drastically.

"Be careful, it's the Crown Wizard of the Shadow Throne!"

In fact, even without Morik's warning, Mai Ya and Ortis had already assumed a defensive stance.

The Crown Wizards of the Shadow Throne were renowned figures in the wizarding world, and it was natural for them to recognize these individuals.

Sunan, however, seemed unfamiliar with the four, but upon hearing the name Jude, he immediately realized who they were.

The Crown Wizard named Jude had been the mastermind behind the Shadow Throne's series of actions targeting the Star Alliance.

Seeing the members of the Shadow Throne lurking nearby, Sunan and the others instantly understood that these guys had been following them, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Jude's face darkened, his eyes shifting uneasily.

They had been secretly tailing Sunan for a long time. Initially, when they saw Sunan discover the permanent Law Node, they were overjoyed, thinking there would be an additional massive gain. They were about to strike and seize it, but the sudden appearance of the Fire Whisker King interrupted their plans.

If that had been the end of it, it wouldn't have been a problem. They could have waited for Sunan and the Fire Whisker King to wear each other down, and then they could have reaped the benefits.

But they never expected Sunan to unleash such power and kill the Fire Whisker King!

The strength displayed during the battle even shocked Jude.

Suddenly, Sunan's confidence in dealing with the situation wavered. At the same time, the four of them communicated secretly.

Without much hesitation, they reached a unanimous decision.

It was clear that the Shadow Throne intended to attack them, and they weren't the type to endure a loss without retaliation. Furthermore, they anticipated that this place would soon become a gathering point for various factions, and the Shadow Throne, being a dark wizard force, would undoubtedly be their adversary in the competition for the permanent Law Node.

Seizing this opportunity to weaken their enemy's strength was undoubtedly more beneficial than harmful.

In an instant, the four of them communicated with just their eyes and simultaneously launched their attack.

A whirlwind of raging flames and a colossal rock giant surged forth, bearing down on the Crown Wizards with a thunderous roar.

Jude and the other three Crown Wizards' faces contorted, and just as they were about to dodge, they felt an invisible, oppressive force pressing down on them from all sides, pinning them in place.

Gravity Law Domain!

Sunan unleashed his most powerful attack without hesitation. Against a Fire Whisker King of the same rank, the effect of the Law Domain wasn't as apparent.

But when facing a Master Rank True Spirit Wizard, the might of the Law Domain became evident.

Except for Jude, a fifth-rank Wizard, and another True Spirit Wizard, who promptly countered with their own Law Domains, the other two Wizards grunted in unison, their faces contorting in pain.

One of them had a white bone armor emerge from within, enveloping their body, but it soon developed extensive cracks under the crushing gravity.

The other Wizard's body was engulfed by a viscous darkness, but it was to no avail. The crushing gravity compressed the darkness until it was paper-thin.

"The Bone Law and the Shadow Law?"

Sunan's eyes flashed slightly.

These two Laws were prevalent within the Shadow Throne and were almost like the signature of their True Spirit Wizards.

For instance, Jude and the other fifth-rank Wizard both specialized in the Shadow Law.

Seeing their companions in distress, Jude and the other fifth-rank Wizard boldly confronted Sunan and Maisea.

The four fifth-rank Wizards clashed in a chaotic melee.

Before the two Crown Wizards who had just escaped the Law Domains could catch their breath, Morik and Ortis launched their assault.

Rip!

The muffled sound of tearing space reverberated repeatedly.

From the moment they engaged, Jude was engulfed by countless gravity black holes, immediately putting him at a disadvantage.

His Law Power level was around two hundred, slightly higher than Maisea's but significantly lower than the Fire Whisker King's.

If even the Fire Whisker King couldn't match Sunan, Jude stood no chance.

Considering that the Law Core's power was nearly depleted, Sunan went all out from the start, forming thousands of gravity black holes that swept towards Jude.

In an instant, the void within a kilometer radius of Jude turned into a pitch-black abyss, darker and more profound than shadows, ready to devour everything!

Jude's Shadow Law Domain was torn to shreds in the blink of an eye!

His face contorted in horror as he frantically manipulated his Law Power to break free from the gravity black holes. However, after touching several of them, the darkness enveloping his body was devoured by more than half.

The difference of over a hundred Law Power levels, akin to the gap between Master Rank and Manipulation Rank, became starkly evident at that moment!

With a resentful roar, Jude's figure quickly vanished into the gravity black holes.

Seeing Jude's demise, the other three Crown Wizards' faces paled, and without hesitation, they turned to flee.

Morik and Ortis, being far superior to their opponents, didn't give them a chance to escape. In a moment of inattention, one of the opponents broke free from the fight.

But the next second, Sunan's Gravity Law Domain enveloped them, instantly pinning them in place.

Although the Law Power in the Law Core was exhausted, Sunan, as a fifth-rank Wizard, had no trouble dealing with two fourth-rank Wizards.

With Morik and Ortis' assistance, Sunan swiftly disposed of the two Crown Wizards.

On the other side, although Maisea couldn't quickly finish her opponent, her Life Domain's ability to drain the enemy's life force and replenish her own gave her a significant advantage, and she easily gained the upper hand.

Once Sunan was free to join the siege, the last Crown Wizard was swiftly defeated.

Just as the battle ended, several powerful Law fluctuations emanated from the distance.

Maisea's expression relaxed, and joy filled her face.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"
