Chapter 1138

The master of the Dark Law retracted its hands; though its move had seemed effortless, the cost had been substantial.

It tore open a passage and prepared to leave.

But suddenly, it sensed something and froze in place.

Its gaze swept toward the empty void, a flicker of shock and uncertainty crossing its face.

"Check it out."

Said the Master of the Law.

Instantly, over a dozen Dark Deities flew toward the area and began a meticulous inspection.

Yet they found nothing.

"Look, what's that?"

At that moment, one Dark Deity pointed at the space, its face tinged with surprise as it stared at a tiny flame suddenly bursting forth.

That tiny flame was, unmistakably, a small Holy Flame.

"So stubborn—still not dead? What's the threat from such a tiny Holy Flame?"

Nearby, another Dark Deity flew over, extended a hand, and reached to snuff out the tiny flame.

But the moment its hand barely touched the flame, its expression twisted in horror.

"Help~~"

The Dark Deity screamed in terror.

"Boom!"

The previously minuscule flame suddenly erupted, completely engulfing the Dark Deity!

The second-tier Dark Deity was instantly set ablaze, howling in agony.

"He's not dead, but his power has dropped by countless times."

A fourth-tier Dark Deity flew forward, gathered its strength, and seized the flames burning the second-tier one with its bare hand.

"Let me see."

At that moment, the Master of the Dark Law spoke.

The fourth-tier Dark Deity handed the cluster of Holy Flame over.

The Master of the Law imprisoned the cluster within space and studied it with deep, piercing eyes.

The Holy Flame struggled incessantly, as if trying to surge into that space—but it could not break free.

"Your life form is peculiar, yet beneath the Law, all are ants—you have no chance."

After a moment's observation, the Master of the Law spoke coolly, then gently crushed its fingers—extinguishing the entire cluster of Holy Flame!

"Is that so?"

At that moment, a faint voice echoed beside the Master of the Law.

"Boom!"

Immediately, flames erupted!

Before the Master of the Law could react, it was instantly engulfed by terrifying flames.

It gathered its power, ready to activate the Space Law and escape—but from within the flames, an aura arose that even it found profoundly terrifying.

It, too, was Law-force!

"You also wield Law-force!"

The Master of the Dark Law growled.

"Correct!"

Lin Yan's voice rang out.

"You cannot kill me. Let me show you how troublesome Space Law can be."

The Master of the Dark Law surged with divine power.

The Space Law had already been activated—in the next instant, it could appear countless miles away, beyond the flames' reach.

But instantly, it felt another force that made its soul tremble.

"Forbidden…"

Before its voice could finish, the flames violently breached all its defenses, reducing it to ash in less than a tenth of a second!

A Master of the Space Law, proficient in its domain, was instantly slain by Lin Yan!

It looked simple.

But in truth, Lin Yan had employed considerable calculation and expended tremendous power.

First, Lin Yan had not revealed his own Law-force.

Then, leveraging his flame's indestructible nature, he deliberately provoked its attack.

Thus, this Master of the Law had little caution!

As a powerful being who mastered Law, it held absolute confidence in its own strength!

Lin Yan exploited precisely this!

Then, Lin Yan used the Dark Law to sneak close, and employed the cluster of Holy Flame to successfully draw the Master of the Law's attention!

Finally, Lin Yan struck decisively.

And with his first move, he unleashed his utmost power.

There was no choice: a being who mastered Space Law could vanish the moment it had even a sliver of reaction time—Lin Yan could never catch it.

So Lin Yan employed the Dark Law-force, and two drops of 19th-tier divine power.

One drop of 19th-tier Heavenly Divine Power, one drop of 19th-tier Chaotic Divine Power.

When these two divine powers mixed and burned together, their effect exceeded tenfold the sum of each burning separately.

This is the true forbidden power.

And it is a forbidden power with absolutely no negative side effects!

The power of the Dark Law, combined with two drops of 19th-level Divine Power burning together, produces astonishing results!

Even though the Law Lord had already activated the Spatial Rule, he had no time to escape—he was completely incinerated by the flames!

The 19th-level Divine Power is extremely pure; two drops of it consumed nearly half of Lin Yan's accumulated reserves.

Fortunately, the gains are enormous—more than enough to offset the loss, and far exceeding it!

After burning this Law Lord, another Law appeared on Lin Yan's system panel under the Law section:

Spatial Law!

However, the Spatial Law is only at 6%.

Six percent Spatial Law!

This means the Dark Law Lord possessed only 6% of Spatial Law power.

Even just 6% of Spatial Law power is already terrifying—overwhelming to any deity who has not touched the Laws!

Yet in the end, it still fell to Lin Yan's hands.

Of course, if its mastery of Spatial Law had been higher, it might have escaped!

The greater one's mastery of Law power, the less energy it consumes to use, the shorter the time needed to activate it, and the greater its power!

Lin Yan hadn't expected that by burning this Law Lord, he would inherit the Law power it had mastered.

Of course, this Law Lord may not be completely dead.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows; every powerful deity should have backup plans to avoid being cornered one day.

But whether it was truly dead or not, Lin Yan didn't care.

He had no personal grudge against this Law Lord—killing it and gaining Evolution Points and other benefits was enough!

If it still retained some will and came back for revenge in the future, that would suit Lin Yan just fine.

Because more Evolution Points would come in.

Even when at full strength, it wasn't a match for Lin Yan—what did he fear from its remaining tricks?

His growth rate surpasses that of any deity.

The 6% Spatial Law is another massive gain!

This means Lin Yan now possesses two Laws!

One: Spatial Law!

One: Dark Law!

And Lin Yan's Evolution Point gains were equally enormous!

Although this Law Lord mastered only 6% of Spatial Law, its power was greater than that of the Ancient Deities Neer and Ruogai combined!
