Chapter 1223 - Gate of Rebirth 2 (1/2)

The structure of his body followed the most perfect proportions and a layer of mysterious radiance was covering his body. He looked like an exact copy of Lin Yun, but the person behind the Gate of Rebirth had become even more perfect.

Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes and boundless power surged around his body before a simple robe was condensed. A multi-colored wheel symbol was embroidered into the cuffs of his mage robe.

Lin Yun stepped out of the light and left the slowly opening Gate of Rebirth.

As Lin Yun stepped out of the Gate of Rebirth, it was like all the radiance within the world gathered onto his body.

As Lin Yun walked out, the Gate of Rebirth slowly closed and transformed into a seven-colored ray of light that dissipated.

Lin Yun stood on the ground and emitted a powerful Extraordinary Power aura which distorted the surrounding space. He was calmly standing there as if he was the center of the world.

After remaining strangely silent for a few seconds, the eight puppets immediately started frantically attacking and the dense and perfect coordinated attacks once again fell on Lin Yun.

But they were blocked three meters away from Lin Yun as a completely new layer of shield appeared.

After advancing to the Heaven Rank, the Mana Shield, Elemental Shield, and Runic Shield could all fuse into a completely new Fusion Shield, and the defensive power was a lot greater than an Archmage’s strongest Runic Shield.

And while Lin Yun was a 9th Rank Archmage, he had already transformed his runes into law runes. His current Fusion Shield was a Law Fusion Shield. This was a step a 1st Rank Heaven Mage couldn’t accomplish.

The first thing ordinary Heaven Rank powerhouses would do after advancing would be transforming their runes into law runes. Only at the 2nd Rank would they be able to form their own law runes and evolve their Runic Shield.

When the time came, they would be able to fuse their Mana Shield, Elemental Shield, and Law Runic Shield together. The average 1st Rank Heaven Mage could only fuse their Mana Shield, Elemental Shield, and Runic Shield.

Lin Yun calmly stood there with his Law Fusion Shield. All the attacks falling onto his shield were like rain falling onto the surface of a peaceful lake, they only caused some ripples and had no destructive power.

The four-colored Law Fusion Shield looked like a thin translucent sphere of light protecting Lin Yun inside.

In the distance, Laibo and the others, who had been awaiting death, were thoroughly stunned.

“Sir Mafa… Sir Mafa advanced to the Heaven Rank? Holy sh*t!”

‘Didn’t Sir Mafa explode into fragments without leaving a corpse behind? How come he suddenly reappeared, and as a Heaven Rank powerhouse nonetheless? Not only did he just advance to the Heaven Rank, he can already use the Law Fusion Shield and has perfectly adapted to Extraordinary Power, he can already control Extraordinary Power…

‘It’s just a breakthrough to the Heaven Rank, how did he suddenly become so powerful. What was going on with that ancient gate’s aura? Those eight Heaven Puppets can’t even shake Sir Mafa’s shield when working together!

‘Even that Critical Hit Puppet is unable to make Sir Mafa’s defenses fluctuate…’

Lin Yun still had a calm expression after the puppets attacked for thirty seconds.

“As your reward for helping me advance to the Heaven Rank, I’ll perfectly conserve you in my collection and I’ll kindly accept your ability runes.”

These puppets awakened wisdom, how could they not understand what Lin Yun was saying? Their attacks became even fiercer after hearing Lin Yun’s words. The Critical Hit Puppet instantly went all-out and its dagger fiercely pierced Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield.

But it was no different from a drop of water falling into a lake, the ripple was just a bit bigger, it could only dream of piercing through Lin Yun’s new shield.

After seeing that its attack was ineffective, the Critical Hit Puppet immediately fled backward. That Steel Body Puppet also came to support the Critical Hit Puppet, already heaving that huge tower shield. As long as the Critical Hit Puppet took a few more steps back, it would fall under the protection of the tower shield.

But in that split second, Lin Yun took a small step forward and put his hand on the Critical Hit Puppet’s shoulder, as if he had just teleported.

Terrifying fluctuations surged forth as Extraordinary Power fluctuations that far exceeded the 1st Rank of the Heaven realm instantly hit the Critical Hit Puppet.

The Critical Hit Puppet’s defenses were at best a bit stronger than those Level 39 puppets, but they were like paper in front of Lin Yun’s Extraordinary Power and couldn’t resist the corrosion.

The terrifying Extraordinary Power fluctuations seeped into the cracks of the Critical Hit Puppet and sealed its energy transmission. All of its components seemed to have been frozen in an instant.

The Critical Hit Puppet’s scarlet eyes flickered, but its body turned stiff and not a wisp of energy could burst out.

The Critical Hit Puppet was sealed in an instant while Lin Yun raised his other hand and aimed at the approaching Steel Body Puppet.

Countless law runes surged forth and Extraordinary Power poured into these law runes.

In an instant, these law runes condensed into the most perfect law runic frame and formed a law runic matrice, but it was different this time. With Extraordinary Power, this frame was no longer just a frame. It instead instantly condensed into a several-dozen-meter-big law rune made of dozens of law runes!

A one-meter-long cyan wind Blade appeared, emitting dense Extraordinary Power, and softly cut through the tower shield in the Steel Body Puppet’s hand.

The tower shield, that had resisted countless spells before, was instantly cut in two by the cyan Wind Blade, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

After cutting through the Steel Body Puppet’s tower shield, that cyan Wind Blade burst open and dissipated into law runes.

Even if it was only due to the support of Extraordinary Power, and although that high grade law rune only existed for a moment, the power it exerted was truly that of a high grade law rune. It wasn’t like before, where there was only a frame borrowing the power of the high grade law rune.

The higher the grade of a law rune, the more it manifested the Law. Up until the peak of the Heaven Rank, where a high grade law rune could instantly kill all mages under the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm.

Even if Lin Yun condensed a high grade law rune, its grade wasn’t too high, it was at most what a 5th Rank Heaven Mage could possess, but that momentary burst power far surpassed the 2nd Rank.

With a casual attack, he sliced through the Steel Body Puppet’s tower shield before crossing the distance with one step and instantly appearing in front of the Steel Body Puppet.

After discovering Lin Yun appearing before it, the huge puppet resolutely spread its arms forward, as if it was planning on hugging Lin Yun in its embrace.

But just as it moved, its body suddenly stiffened as Lin Yun terrifying Extraordinary Power fiercely pierced through that silver white exterior and controlled its components. The source of energy disappeared, and none of its parts could move. Even if it had great power, it couldn’t display it.

After sealing another Heaven Puppet, the remaining six Heaven Puppets seemed to panic, their scarlet crystal eyes frequently flickered with light as they were frantically calculating how to defeat Lin Yun.

But Lin Yun only needed one Law Runic Shield to make their attacks look like tickles. The gap might just be one rank, but it made people feel despair.

In the Heaven Rank, the gap between each rank was insurmountable. As they advanced step by step, the law comprehension between each step was about the same.

Lacking law comprehension was the major cause of Heaven Rank powerhouses remaining stuck at their rank.

And law runes was the most direct way of quantifying it. The number of law runes and the grade of law runes was an important indicator of a roadblock in the Heaven realm
