Chapter 902 - Next Phase (1/2)
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
Lin Yun didn’t make any movements, but the ground under his feet suddenly swelled, and with a rumble, a seven-meter-tall Earth Wall suddenly appeared.
The Earth Wall was like a living animal burrowing out of the ground. All kinds of strange lifeforms squirmed out before gathering atop the Earth Wall, which started flickering with a metallic luster.
The frantic Aura Slash fell onto the wall, and sharp metallic sounds echoed as if countless swords were colliding on top of it.
One attack, and the expression of that Beastman Sword Saint changed. He had originally thought that this was a random, unremarkable human that had unexpectedly appeared there by chance. He hadn’t felt any formidable strength from him. But when that instant spell was able to resist his sneak attack, he thought to himself, ‘This is a powerful Archmage!’
With his first attack failing, the Beastman hesitated and prepared to make another move, but Lin Yun wasn’t hiding behind the Earth Wall. He had left his cover and was pointing a finger at the Sword Saint.
In an instant, this Beastman’s red complexion darkened somewhat as he felt something from that ordinary-looking finger. He unexpectedly felt as if the entire world had been pressured by the finger and that breathing had become more and more difficult. The air and space appeared to have already frozen.
Fou- colored runes were curled at Lin Yun’s fingertip, and more of them appeared from the void in mid-air before ultimately gathering towards Lin Yun’s and transforming into a four-colored ray of light.
The surrounding earth, fire, water, and wind elements became exceptionally active as they took the shape of a storm, and the core of that storm was Lin Yun’s finger.
The Beastman’s face was filled with alarm, and he could no longer worry about remaining hidden. His face turned deep red, and blood started seeping out of his pores as his Aura burst out in an instant, not holding a single bit back.
And this was only to escape from that terrifying pressure.
The Beastman Sword Saint didn’t even have time to turn before the four-colored light at the tip of Lin Yun’s finger struck his body. His Battle Aura Armor and weapons seemed like nothing more than decorations as they had no effect at all.
The next moment, the entire world became quiet again and the Beastman just stood on the spot, his eyes filled with horror and despair.
Lin Yun’s expression remained the same as he turned around and continued towards the Sunset Fort.
After a few steps, the Beastman behind him let out a desperate howl as countless four-colored lights appeared on his body. Several runes of the four elements appeared before his eyes and assembled together to form a single one.
The boundless elements were like hungry wolves pouring into the body of that Raging Flame Beastman.
After three seconds, blinding light started bursting out from the Beastman’s orifices as his body began to crack. The glaring white light blossomed.
“Bang…”
A loud sound echoed as the Beastman’s body exploded. But there was no blood, no messy fragments… Only some fine powder as he was destroyed in less than a second.
Lin Yun kept walking towards the Sunset Fort, not doubting for one second that the Beastman was already dead.
After ten days, the embryonic form of his Laws had already coalesced, and it hadn’t been the Fire Law he’d originally expected. Instead, he had the Fire Law, Water Law, Earth Law, and Wind Law at the same time.
At that time, Lin Yun felt that his decision to wait until he fused with Constance’s head before reaching the Archmage realm had paid off in spades.
It wasn’t that he had started forming a trace of a Law at the 1st Rank, but rather that after the fusion of the Magic Array and the three Meditation Law Sets, he’d started forming a set of four Laws at once.
This was obviously far more formidable than one wisp of Law.
Once a Heaven Rank powerhouse comprehended one Law to its limits, they could start to comprehend a new one. And the second Law would actually be a lot harder to comprehend.
This was because the suppression would be too powerful. The foundational Law would be too powerful, and the bias would be too severe.
At the peak of Noscent, the number of powerhouses that comprehended the four elemental Laws could be counted on one hand, but none had been able to use a combination of the four elements as their foundation!
The name of the Book of Death’s new All-Encompassing Chapter had stabilized, but no contents had appeared so far. However, it was just a matter of time. As long as the first step was taken, the rest would follow.
In these ten days, although he had only advanced to the 6th Rank, his increase in strength couldn’t be calculated by a difference of a rank, because this wasn’t just an increase in rank, but rather, an increase in quality.
What happened earlier was a good example. A sneaking 8th Rank Sword Saint had ambushed him from within ten meters, and there was no danger to him at all. But in such a situation, it shouldn’t have been so easy.
However, he only used a wisp of the power of the All Encompassing Chapter, only the power of the embryonic stage, yet it instantly killed the other side!
