Chapter 354 - 269: Before the Law, the Flesh Is but an Illusion (Part 2)
Yuuntai’s figure flickered, disappearing and reappearing around Su Xin from all directions, seemingly transforming into a multitude, completely surrounding Su Xin, slashing down sword after sword.
Yet it was all futile.
In terms of True Qi alone, Yuuntai had already used his most destructive force. He wanted to test Su Xin’s capabilities in various aspects. Seeing Su Xin’s complete confidence in his defensive abilities, he decided to cooperate in this manner.
Now that True Qi attacks were ineffective, he resorted to his truly strongest method.
"No matter how powerful a physical body is, before the power of laws... it all is mere illusion."
Yuuntai stopped in front of Su Xin, smiling slightly, then raised his hand to make a slash from afar.
The void split silently like a cloth with a zipper pulled apart, revealing a vast expanse of pure black.
This was the same method that Ancestor Xuanzhen had used in the past: Space Rupture.
Yuuntai knew this method wouldn’t affect Su Xin, but he had an ace up his sleeve. Just as he was about to manipulate the two separated parts of space to form individual miniature worlds, he was shocked to see Su Xin’s body being split into two by this strike.
"Huh? Didn’t he withstand this kind of attack before? Why isn’t it working now?"
Yuuntai recalled the scene he had witnessed before, when Ancestor Xuanzhen frantically used Space Rupture against Su Xin, unable to harm him at all.
In fact, what he didn’t know was that Su Xin had already died once at that time and activated the Undying Golden Body trait, giving him invulnerability at the Causality Law Level. Not only could Space Law do no harm, but even stronger law powers couldn’t scratch him.
In the next moment.
Yuuntai sensed Su Xin’s death.
Then immediately, he perfectly resurrected.
"It seems that no matter how strong the defense is, it cannot withstand Space Rupture. The physical body is, indeed, far inferior to the power of laws."
Su Xin sighed inwardly.
The Suffocation Barrier had been charging for several days, and logically, the defense should have been extremely impressive. Yuuntai’s hundreds of consecutive attacks before couldn’t shake it, which was sufficient proof.
However, facing the attack from Space Rupture, it was still effortlessly slashed open, as smoothly as a knife through butter.
This was enough to prove that it wasn’t the Suffocation Barrier’s defense that was lacking in strength, but rather that the attack from Space Law indeed surpassed the physical body.
Even with ten times stronger defense, Su Xin felt he couldn’t withstand a Space Rupture attack.
But his test wasn’t done yet.
Since neither physical defenses nor the Suffocation Barrier could withstand Space Rupture attacks, surely Law-type defenses could?
After resurrecting, Su Xin didn’t activate the Undying Golden Body trait or any other defensive abilities. He only activated the World Domain, prepared to test the now Level 23 Master of the World ability to see just how strong the domain has become.
Su Xin gestured with his hand.
Signaled for the opponent to continue the attack.
Yuuntai, having witnessed the miraculous resurrection scene, was filled with awe and couldn’t help but smile when he saw Su Xin so calmly provoking him.
"Since you still want to try, let’s continue."
Yuuntai raised his hand again for a slash.
Once more, it was a Space Rip Slash.
However, this time the result was vastly different from before. The space was successfully ripped apart again, but Su Xin, located at the rupture site, only had a deep wound slashed on his body surface, which healed in the blink of an eye.
"Huh? How could this be?"
Yuuntai was surprised: "Could it be that each time he dies, he becomes a bit stronger?"
"Last time when he fought that Human Immortal, he was able to withstand the Space Rip Slash because he probably died many times, making his defense strong enough to ignore the Space Rip."
"But even if he has such ability, it should be temporary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been easily split in half just now."
"Tsk, it’s truly amazing!"
Yuuntai had a hypothesis in his mind and decided to verify it with actual action, thus he repeatedly swung his arm at Su Xin, slashing over and over.
The space continued to be torn apart.
Su Xin’s body surface constantly exhibited one clear blood mark after another, which immediately healed perfectly, leaving not a single trace.
"Indeed, the promotion of Master of the World ability also equated to an enhancement of the World Domain. The World Domain happens to be specifically designed to defend against external law powers, which precisely compensates for my weakness in Law Defense."
Su Xin smiled.
Amid extremely intense spatial fluctuations, he was like a lone boat in a storm, with the waves rising and falling.
Furthermore, having only recently gained insight into the Fire Laws, Su Xin was now beginning to perceive the fluctuations of Space Laws.
Theoretically speaking, the Creation Realm is indeed the initial realm for comprehending Heaven and Earth Laws. Understanding Fire Laws is possible, Thunder Laws are also viable, and naturally, the comprehension of Space Laws is doable as well.
But Space Laws are different from flames and thunder and the like, which can be clearly seen and sensed; the law powers of the latter are comparatively easier to perceive, whereas space is unseen, untouchable, and beyond understanding for most people.
Its difficulty in comprehension cannot be compared to the rest.
Thus, on the Luotian Continent, only a rare few prodigies in the True Martial Realm begin to comprehend Space Laws, and even then, it’s just an initial comprehension.
Most only start comprehending Space Laws after entering the Human Immortal Realm, having a fairly profound understanding of various other laws, allowing for cross-disciplinary comprehension.
Now.
Su Xin, having just stepped into the Creation Realm not long ago, had only glimpsed a hint of Fire Laws’ understanding, yet was now faintly perceiving Space Laws.
Actually, it’s quite normal.
After all, who else could be in the Creation Realm and yet endure such intense spatial fluctuations, suffering a continual barrage of Space Rupture attacks?
Originally mysterious and difficult to perceive, the space appeared in Su Xin’s eyes as if it had taken shape.
It’s akin to comprehending the ocean; most people spend their entire lives without seeing the sea, having to rely on written descriptions, videos, and others’ accounts to comprehend it.
But Su Xin? He has directly arrived at the ocean, standing amidst a tsunami, swimming in the abyss, personally experiencing every facet of the ocean’s power.
Under these circumstances, wanting not to comprehend is difficult.
Space Law is the same.
"So, this is what space is like..."
In the chaotic and turbulent spatial currents, Su Xin calmly raised his hand, trying to manipulate the space, but the space here was too chaotic. Even if he had a preliminary grasp of Space Law, he could only control it minimally, unable to achieve any effect in such a dreadful spatial turbulence.
Nonetheless, he wasn’t discouraged.
Any insight gained is a good thing.
His primary task now is to test his defenses.
Thinking of this, Su Xin held his breath and activated the Suffocation Barrier superpower once again.
Immediately thereafter, he keenly sensed the changes in the scars on his skin. With every second passing, the damage from the Space Rip attacks significantly diminished, and after merely a dozen seconds, the space fissures could cause him no harm.
Seeing this, Yuuntai gradually stopped.
Looking at Su Xin who was unharmed under his attacks, he chuckled:
"Your defensive ability is truly astonishing."
"In that case, I must use other methods, please prepare yourself."
Once more, he raised his hand, making a nonchalant grasp in Su Xin’s direction.
The entire void where Su Xin was, was hollowed out, forming an independent miniature world.
And Su Xin was within the miniature world.
If it were the previous Su Xin, trapped within such a miniature world, he would only perceive it as boundless and infinite, a complete grand world. His vision, all his senses, would tell him this world is endlessly vast, unable to fly out for a lifetime, and unable to Instant Teleport out.
But now, having a superficial grasp of Space Laws, along with having previously experienced a similar situation, he noticed something amiss.
"This... must be the technique that almost trapped me before, huh? It’s truly remarkable!"
"With a casual grasp, a world is formed."
Su Xin chuckled.
Reached out to point at the void before him.
Universal Key activated, silently opening a door in the space before him.
