226: The law of darkness enters the body
Although low-level Xuan Yue Wolf Clan occupied the vast majority, their numbers were immense.
Xun Xiuyuan had no idea how many Xuan Yue Wolf Clan members he had killed in the past few days; he only knew that the notification sounds in his mind had not stopped for a moment.
With over 300 trillion exotic beast value and tens of thousands of lottery chances, Xun Xiuyuan could be said to have made a fortune this time.
Just the Law Comprehension Pill alone was an incredible gain.
Most importantly, during the process of killing the wolf clan, Xun Xiuyuan actually obtained fragments (7) and (8) of the Law of Darkness, and when he harvested the high-level gathering place of the Xuan Yue Wolf Clan at the very end, he was lucky enough to obtain the Law of Darkness that could be integrated into himself.
However, fragment (9) of the Law of Darkness had been absorbed a long time ago, seemingly obtained when Defying Heaven Pavilion was conquering Shi Potian.
Xun Xiuyuan now stood before Ling Li, directly increasing his mental power by 1.4 million, raising it to the threshold for his advancement to the God King Realm.
He then integrated the Law of Darkness into himself and immediately sat cross-legged to familiarize himself with the growth of his power.
The integration of the ninth Law, the exhilarating feeling no longer needed further elaboration, and the increase in strength was even more incredible.
Ling Li looked at Xun Xiuyuan before him; the growth in his aura was too astonishing.
Ling Yun had already returned at this time; Xun Xiuyuan had killed very cleanly, with fewer than ten thousand Xuan Yue Wolf Clan remaining, all of whom Ling Yun finished off one by one.
Returning to high altitude, Ling Yun saw Xun Xiuyuan's state and asked Ling Li in disbelief, "What did you feed him?"
Ling Li looked at Ling Yun as if he were an idiot: "Do you think eating some heavenly treasures could achieve this effect? This is clearly the sign of a Law integrating into oneself."
Ling Yun was also speechless, watching Xun Xiuyuan's aura continuously rising without stopping.
He said in disbelief, "Eight Laws integrated into oneself, and he has such power?"
Ling Li shook his head and said, "I don't know how strong eight Laws integrated into oneself are in the Heavenly God Realm; I guess not many people know. Perhaps that genius in the Initial Domain would know."
After a long while, Xun Xiuyuan opened his eyes and stood up.
Looking at the two God King Realm experts before him, he said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I just had some insights and cultivated for a while."
Ling Yun took a deep look at Xun Xiuyuan, thinking to himself: Freak.
Then he tore open the sky and left this domain.
Ling Li smiled and pulled Xun Xiuyuan along to follow.
In fact, Xun Xiuyuan knew in his heart that his transformation this time was too great, and he had caught the looks in both of their eyes.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the embryonic form of that world, which was hundreds of kilometers in size, had directly expanded more than ten times, with its diameter at least approaching five thousand kilometers, completely equivalent to the size of a small domain.
Xun Xiuyuan thought to himself: I wonder how big the inner worlds of God Kings like Ling Yun are?
The three of them did not return to the Chaotic Realm but instead headed directly to the territory of the Mad Dragon Clan.
The two learned from Xun Xiuyuan that Ao Tian had not made a move, only coming to stop Sect Master Wu Meng.
And before Ao Tian arrived, Old Wei had already died.
Ling Li laughed upon hearing this: "Then it's Ao Tian's bad luck; who told him to go to the scene?"
At this moment, Ao Tian was covered in injuries, looking at Zhuge Lun before him, and roared, "Do we really have to fight to the death?"
Zhuge Lun looked at Ao Tian with disdain: "Fight to the death? Do you have the ability? You old monster of ten thousand years, your inner world still only has seven Laws, with no progress whatsoever. Don't you think you're wasting opportunities by living?"
Ao Tian was hit where it hurt by Zhuge Lun's words. The Exotic Beast Clan's physique was naturally powerful, making early advancements effortless, but in the later stages, the potential of exotic beasts was completely inferior to that of humans, except for a few scattered races with extremely high bloodline levels.
Ao Tian diligently recovered from his injuries and calmly asked, "When did you integrate the eighth Law into your inner world?"
Zhuge Lun said with a fake smile, "You're a dead man, why do you need to know so much?"
Ao Tian was incredibly calm at this moment. He had explained countless times that he had not killed the War God Hall's divine general, nor had he attacked those from the Heavenly Palace; he had merely gone out of curiosity.
It was truly out of curiosity.
Damn it! Curiosity killed the dragon, not just the cat!
Zhuge Lun could have killed Ao Tian much earlier, but he was afraid Ao Tian would lash out in desperation and injure him, so he had been slowly toying with him.
He wanted Ao Tian to feel a glimmer of hope so he wouldn't fight back desperately.
Zhuge Lun was looking for an opportunity for a single, fatal blow.
Just then, spatial fluctuations appeared at the realm barrier.
Zhuge Lun looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been a God King from the Alien Beast Clan arriving, it might have turned into another chaotic battle.
When he saw that the newcomers were Ling Yun, Ling Li, and Xun Xiuyuan, Zhuge Lun looked at Ao Tian's expression and smiled slightly again.
Ao Tian had initially thought reinforcements had arrived, but upon seeing clearly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, preparing to fight to the death.
Xun Xiuyuan noticed Ao Tian's expression, and his heart tightened.
He sent a telepathic message to Zhuge Lun: "He wants to fight to the death."
Zhuge Lun replied telepathically: "Your arrival made him lose hope; my plan of so many days is ruined. You guys stay far away; I'll handle it."
Xun Xiuyuan no longer sent telepathic messages but instead spoke to Zhuge Lun: "Revenge is fine, but this Ao Tian did not attack the people of the Heavenly Palace; he only hindered Sect Master Wu Meng's rescue. Although he made a mistake, it's not a capital offense."
Zhuge Lun frowned upon hearing Xun Xiuyuan's words.
Then he relaxed his brows, smiled faintly, and cupped his hands to Xun Xiuyuan, saying, "May I ask what the Palace Master's opinion is?"
In fact, Zhuge Lun understood Xun Xiuyuan's meaning: since they couldn't kill Ao Tian without harm, it was better to gain some benefits.
Although Zhuge Lun felt that Xun Xiuyuan was a bit soft-hearted, he didn't stop him, as Xun Xiuyuan was still young and needed to grow slowly.
Ao Tian, seeing that this human Palace Master was speaking up for him, immediately said, "What this Palace Master says is absolutely right. As the saying goes, it's better to reconcile with enemies than to make more. I made a mistake, and I admit it. Just name whatever compensation is needed."
Ao Tian's days of fleeing had amplified his fear of Zhuge Lun infinitely in his heart; he estimated it would become his inner demon in the future.
Because Zhuge Lun had only injured him for several days, without fighting to the death.
He couldn't win in a fight, couldn't outrun him, and didn't even have a chance to fight to the death, which was incredibly frustrating.
Zhuge Lun didn't give Ao Tian a chance to bargain: "One hundred thousand spirit veins, and one fragment of the primordial world. Don't say you don't have it; I know you do, you're just too foolish to comprehend it."
Ao Tian could accept the one hundred thousand spirit veins, but that one fragment of the primordial world was something he had painstakingly obtained in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and he truly couldn't bear to part with it.
Ao Tian opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, instead taking out a lump of green light and throwing it to Zhuge Lun.
