The dagger covered in darkness quickly swallowed the blood that came out of Yin Zi's hand and her face visibly aged, turning her twenty years older. However, her hair also turned white and parts of it were falling off.
Eventually, the dagger stopped draining her blood and at that point, Lord Yin pulled it out of her palm.
The dagger looked completely different than it did before, the darkness that had covered it was now extending outwards in an ominous manner. The darkness that came off the dagger looked like tendrils made of shadows, trying to grab at anything that would come close to it.
However, it wasn't just the appearance of the dagger that had changed, the aura that it released had also changed.
It had gone from the weak aura of the Platinum Realm to releasing the aura of the Legendary Realm. Moreover, it wasn't just in the beginning of the Legendary Realm, it was much more than that.
Angela could tell that this dagger might be a bit dangerous if it had been used against Lin Fan, but for her, it was nothing. The only thing she had to worry about was how to control her ability to not show all her strength because that would go against Lin Fan's plan.
The only other strange thing was that she couldn't feel any hostility from that Lord Jin at all. Even though he was fighting with all his power, it didn't feel like he wanted to hurt Lin Fan at all.
She couldn't understand it, but she also didn't have time to think about it since Lord Yin was approaching.
He came under the cloak of shadows created by the dagger and when he stabbed down, the tendrils of shadows created one large tendril that fell down at Angela's head.
She didn't panic at all as she gathered her wind in her palm, creating a shield of wind which she pushed in front of her, blocking this attack.
…
Back at the fight between Lin Fan and Lord Jin, Lin Fan's flame armour had finished forming and the flames had spread over his sword.
With the mix of four laws that surrounded his blade, it looked a bit too dazzling to look at directly. At first he moved slowly, as if he wasn't clear on how to control his own power, but once the sword had been lifted, Lin Fan immediately disappeared from where he had been standing.
He charged out just life before, but he was more than five times faster compared to before.
The combination of laws didn't just combine the different laws as a sum of power, rather the mixing of power created a multiplication of power that was several times stronger than any single law.
But this was the fourth law that was being added to Lin Fan's combination, which meant that it wasn't just a single multiplication. This was already the third multiply that was added in, which didn't make it just several times stronger, it became several dozen times stronger.
Lin Fan was now approaching the speed of the high Fragmented Soul Realm.
When he had fought the Alchemy King Hall's envoy, Lin Fan's triple combination of laws had put him at the low Fragmented Soul Realm. Now that his cultivation realm had increased and he had added in the fourth law, naturally he jumped up to the mid Fragmented Soul Realm even if the Platinum Realm was like heaven and earth compared to the Legendary Realm.
Lord Jin wasn't able to follow Lin Fan at all. The only thing he could do was that the moment Lin Fan had disappeared, he released his spatial energy around him and created a large scale barrier that completely surrounded him.
Lin Fan appeared behind him and slashed down at Lord Jin, but the spatial barrier stopped his blade.
The moment he was stopped, Lord Jin noticed him with his spatial sense and sent out a spatial blade at him, cutting through the void. But in the end, Lin Fan was just too fast for him, disappearing with a flap of the flame wings on his back. Still, the spatial blade moved very quickly and nicked Lin Fan's hair, cutting off a few strands.
After sending out these attacks, Lord Jin's breathing became much faster. It was clear that he was being exhausted using his spatial energy like this.
This large scale barrier was definitely much stronger than his smaller barrier, but it also consumed much more energy and spatial laws took more energy than normal laws to begin with.
Spatial laws were special, which made them more powerful and that also meant that they spent much more life energy compared to normal laws.
The smaller barrier was less powerful and covered less area, but Lord Jin could use more life energy to strengthen it to the same degree as the large barrier, while also spending less life energy.
But since his eyes couldn't keep up with Lin Fan's speed, he had no choice but to use this large barrier to block this. Also he had determined the degree of the large barrier based on the wave of energy that came from Lin Fan just now and it was quite thick, so it used quite a bit of life energy.
So Lord Jin was being quickly drained of his life energy, which was why his breathing became faster.
Lord Jin knew that this was a bad situation if he continued staying here, so he immediately disappeared with a white flash of light.
There were several continuous flashes of white light as he continued teleporting short distances backwards, avoiding Lin Fan's slash each time.
Lin Fan tried to keep up with his new speed, but Lord Jin's teleports were much faster than his new speed. Every single time he tried to keep up, he was being thrown further and further behind until he couldn't keep up at all.
Finally Lin Fan stopped moving and stood there watching. Seeing this, Lord Jin also stopped teleporting and looked back at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan could tell that Lord Jin was about to use his trump card since they both knew that if this situation continued, Lord Jin would eventually run out of energy and would be caught. However, Lin Fan didn't do a single thing to stop him.
Just as he had been given respect when Lord Jin watched him transform, he would give Lord Jin respect as he pulled out his trump card. He was someone who treated others how they treated him.
When others had bad ideas towards him, he would cut off their heads without hesitation like all those arrogant people from before. But if someone were to treat him with respect, he would pay that respect back ten folds.
Lord Jin noticed this and began using his trump card without hesitation. All the golden parts of him began to light up with a golden glow and his golden eyes suddenly turned from gold to silver.
There seemed to be a power that was coming directly from deep inside Lord Jin, a power that was completely primal in nature, one that caused an ancestral pressure to fall down on everyone around him. This power however felt familiar to Lin Fan since it carried a bit of divinity that he recognized from the laws that the store used.
Lin Fan knew that Lord Jin was drawing the power of his bloodline, the power of his mutated divine blood.
A mutated beast was one that returned to their origins, accessing the divine nature of their bloodline and drawing out god's blood. This was the blood that came from the God Realm ancestor of the beasts, mutated beasts just had their bloodline become closer to that of the God Realm ancestor.
This God Realm power was not something that should exist in this world, it should be a power that existed only in the legendary God Realm, but mutated beasts could draw a portion of that from the god's blood in their bloodline. However, that was only for mutated beasts that had mutated several times and had a high concentration of god's blood.
For a single mutation beast like Lord Jin to access this power, it was clear that he was burning his foundations and forcefully drawing out this power.
Just what was it about this mission that made him this desperate?
Lord Yin who had been fighting Angela felt this trace of divine aura and immediately knew what was happening.
Without hesitation, he gathered the shadows of the dagger and slashed up to create a wall of shadows, separating him from Angela before quickly pulling back.
Once he moved away from her, he turned and shouted, "Jin, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
But his words fell onto deaf ears.
Lord Jin continued drawing out the power contained within his god's blood and his aura continued to swell, reaching the level of the high Fragmented Soul Realm.
It was clear that he was planning on ending this in a single blow because he clearly couldn't maintain this form for more than that one blow.
Lin Fan also knew that he wouldn't have been able to take this hit in his current form, so he had no choice but to use his final trump card as well.
Lin Fan gave a snap of his finger and Xiao Lei and Xiao Feng also appeared.
They did the same as Xiao Huo and offered their energy to Lin Fan, creating that fusion of five laws.
Lin Fan could have actually called out Rocky as well to create the fusion of six laws, but right now he just couldn't take the backlash of that. The last time he tried, he had actually died, but it was a good thing he had done it in a cultivation realm.
Both of them prepared their trump cards for the final clash.
