Chapter 218: Four laws

Lin Fan didn't slow down his sword slash at all, using the momentum of that swing and adding even more momentum into the swing to quickly turn around. His blade fell down to slam into the spatial law blade of Lord Jin cutting horizontally.

Both blades stopped and were unable to move forward at all just like before, but this time Lin Fan had used much more force. After a few seconds of silence, there was a sudden explosion that came from the clashing of the four laws gathered in that instance which couldn't hold up under all that power and imploded.

Both of them were blown back with their weapons, but neither of them were fazed at all by this and just moved back equidistant from each other.

They had both used their laws to protect themselves. Lin Fan used the combination of his three laws to form a barrier, as well as using his absorbing force to negate a portion of the explosion. Lord Jin used his spatial law to form a barrier that cut off the space between him and the explosion.

Spatial laws was a very special law with how it was considered an Abnormal Law. Spatial laws didn't follow the normal pattern of laws, manipulating energy in a way that defied physics. Spatial laws was one of the fundamental laws of this world, which allowed it to alter the fundamental principles of physics itself.

Lord Jin used spatial laws in many different ways to alter the world around him. He used the spatial blade to cut through space and create void, he used the spatial law barrier to isolate space and create void between those spaces, and he used spatial laws to shorten the distance between two points, allowing him to teleport between them.

It showed that his laws could be used much more differently than normal laws and there were still many things that Lin Fan didn't know about spatial laws.

Since that was the case, it meant that he would no longer be able to play it safe.

Lin Fan paused for a second before snapping his fingers, releasing Xiao Huo from his pet space.

Lord Jin saw this, but he didn't do a single thing to stop him.

There were two reasons for him just standing there and watching as Lin Fan powered up.

One, there was his respect for Lin Fan.

He had said it himself, he was a big fan of Lin Fan and Angelal. He wasn't just a big fan because they entertained him with their relationship, he was also a fan of his strength. Lin Fan showed a power that was much greater than his power as a mid Platinum Realm Expert.

As a fan and as a person who respected him, naturally he wanted to fight him when he was at his most powerful. Of course that required him to be confident in his own strength, which he definitely was and was his second reason.

Two, he had his pride as a mutated Fragmented Soul Realm King Beast.

If he were to be afraid of someone weaker than him fighting at their full power, he shouldn't be in his position. He was someone who was destined for greatness and this battle would be a glorious step for him on that path to greatness.

He wouldn't shrink away from this battle, even if it meant letting his enemy reach their full strength.

When Xiao Huo appeared, it didn't waste any time at all as it flew onto Lin Fan's back.

This was similar to when Lin Fan used to fight with all three of his beasts, but this time he was only using Xiao Huo.

Back in the past, him using the three pets had the same effect as the combination of three laws that he was currently using, albeit it was a bit stronger since his three pets all had higher cultivation realms than him. However, now that he had his own laws that formed from his suction force, he no longer used the laws of his pets to fight.

Or rather, he wasn't able to do so without dire consequences.

Just like last time when he fought the Alchemy King Hall's envoy, combining the five laws together. During that fight, he had completely shattered his arms just with a single attack, so it was clear how dangerous combining these laws were.

But now that he had reached a higher cultivation realm, progressed further with his cultivation technique, and learned how to use the suction force, he had been able to make a breakthrough in his laws combination ability.

The main reasons for this were his cultivation technique and his suction force.

He was getting close to forming the second sun in his dantian, which had strengthened his physique. His body was now at the same level as a mid Fragmented Soul Realm Expert, which was how he had been able to match Lord Jin for that punch exchange earlier. Even though he was a bit weaker since Lord Jin was a beast and a mutated one at that.

The other main reason was his better control of his suction force, which had taken part of the energy away from him and released it outside his body. It absorbed the energy from his body and spewed it out around him, meaning that he could still use it, but the energy wouldn't wreck havoc inside his body, so there was less stress on his body when he used it.

With this, he had been able to stabilize the power of the four laws combination.

Xiao Huo's flames wrapped around Lin Fan completely and combined with the existing laws that he was using. When Xiao Huo's flames stopped spreading, Lin Fan stood there covered in a layer of flame armour, looking like the ruler of flames.

Lord Jin had been patiently waiting at first, but when he saw what had happened, his eyes popped out in shock. Never in his dreams would he have thought that Lin Fan would do something as crazy as combining four laws.

To be honest, he had already been shocked when he saw that Lin Fan had combined three laws, which had slowly made him believe that Lin Fan was a super genius that came from an upper realm faction, instead of being from the Blue Star Planet as he came.

To his knowledge, one would be considered a genius if they were able to combine even two laws and three laws was something that could only be found in one in a billion. All those that had been able to combine three laws previously had been known as experts among experts, dominating all others in the upper realm and being recruited into the Stellar Kingdoms.

But four laws, that was just completely unheard of in the upper realms.

This was something that shouldn't have been possible with the resources of the upper realms, which meant that Lin Fan either had some connection to a Stellar Kingdom or he was a super genius that some upper realm had developed in secret.

But why was he here then?

What was the reason he was on the Blue Star Planet?

Could it be that the upper realm he came from knew the Beast Clan's secret on this Blue Star Planet and they were interested in taking it for themselves?

If that were the case, this would be a very bad situation from the Beast Clan.

Currently the Beast Clan had another top secret mission that they were undertaking, so they couldn't spare too many resources to retrieve their goal on the Blue Star Planet. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just Lord Jin and Lord Yin who had been sent here, it was actually supposed to be a much stronger expert that was supposed to lead them, but he had been called away at the last second.

Finally Lin Fan's flame armour had finished forming and there was a burst of energy that came from him, sending out wisps of near invisible flame outwards like a wave.

Lord Jin immediately put up his spatial barrier to protect himself, but there were cracks that quickly formed on that barrier, which showed just how powerful Lin Fan's attacks really.

He knew that this time, he might have bargained for more than he wanted.

…

On the other side, Lord Yin by the throne also felt this wave of energy wash over him.

However, he had been far enough to not be damaged by this and most of the power in that wave had already been blocked by Lord Jin, so it was just a residual wave of energy that flowed over him.

Nevertheless, he could clearly sense just how powerful Lin Fan currently was from this wave, he knew that the situation was looking bad for them.

Yin Zi had taken out the dagger, but before she did anything with that dagger covered in shadow laws, she hesitated once again.

Even if Lord Yin had promised her compensation from the Beast Clan, she knew that it wasn't worth it still.

Then when she saw that Lord Jin had had the upper hand, her hesitation had grown even more.

It seemed like Lord Jin was about to win, so why would there be a need for her to use this sacrifice technique?

This sacrifice technique used her lifespan in exchange for releasing the power of the shadow laws that were contained in the dagger.

But exchanging her lifespan meant losing her youth, or more importantly, it meant losing her cultivation talent.

If they were about to win anyway, what would be the point of that?

But when the wave of energy from Lin Fan washed over them, Lord Yin didn't care anymore as he took the dagger from Yin Zi's hand and stabbed it right into her palm.
