Chapter 1303

Even suppressed, the combat power it unleashed was still stronger than a Five-Star Ancient God!

Moreover, it was even more impossible to guard against.

This cluster of the Abyss Lord's will made no pause whatsoever.

But before it could break out of the wastelands of the Heavenly Realm, it suddenly halted.

For before it, a beam of white light descended.

Within this beam of white light, there was also a Lord's will!

Judging from its energy nature, this beam of white light was clearly the will of a Heavenly Realm Lord.

"You… seek… to… block… me?"

Even within the Heavenly Realm, the Abyss Lord's will refused to yield, vibrating fiercely.

"Jimifer, you have broken the rules."

The beam of white light shifted, transforming into a woman in white robes, speaking softly.

This Abyss Lord's will was none other than the Lord of Conspiracy, Jimifer!

"So what? Lasoya is dead—this boy… will die!"

Jimifer's will vibrated again.

Those puzzled Law Lords could never have imagined.

Jimifer's decision to act now was, in fact, because Lin Yan killed Lasoya.

And this intervention by the Heavenly Realm Lord revealed a certain tacit understanding between the Abyss Lords and the Heavenly Realm Lords.

In the past, when a Law Lord in the Heavenly Realm sought to ascend to Lordhood, the usual sequence of ambushes was:

As soon as the Law Lord began their ascent, other Law Lords would launch an ambush.

But generally, only after the Law Lord completed the first step and suffered severe injury from the backlash of the Balance Law would the Five-Star Ancient Gods strike.

And if this Law Lord was exceptionally strong, survived the Balance Law's backlash, and could match the Five-Star Ancient Gods evenly, the Abyss Lord, sensing the disturbance, would strike ruthlessly.

The Abyss Lord could have chosen to strike before the Balance Law's backlash.

At that moment, the Law Lord had not yet formed a Lord's Core or Lord's Body; if the Abyss Lord struck then, the Law Lord would have no time to form either.

And without a Lord's Core and Lord's Body, how could the Law Lord possibly withstand the Balance Law's backlash?

Moreover, while enduring the Balance Law's backlash, they would also have to face the Abyss Lord's will.

Yet, the Abyss Lord often still chose to strike only at the final step.

The reason was simple: this was still a game among Lords.

The more gods there were in the Heavenly Realm, and the stronger they became, the more prosperous the Heavenly Realm would be.

Thus, the Heavenly Realm Lords wished for as many and as powerful gods as possible—but did not wish for these gods to become new Lords.

A Law Lord was best left forever as a Law Lord.

When a Law Lord sought to ascend to Lordhood, the Heavenly Realm Lords did not wish them to succeed, yet neither did they wish them to perish.

Hence, under normal circumstances, the Five-Star Ancient Gods and the Abyss Lords chose to strike only at the final moment.

This was, in a sense, the Heavenly Realm Lords leaving a sliver of hope for the Law Lords of the Heavenly Realm.

Of course, whether one could seize this sliver of hope ultimately depended on the Law Lord themselves.

Without the struggle among Lords, if the Abyss Lord had descended with their true body, not a single Law Lord could have stood against them!

But this time, circumstances had changed somewhat.

The Balance Law's backlash arrived sooner than expected.

Even Jimifer, the Abyss Lord, chose to strike so quickly!

And Jimifer's reason was simple.

Lasoya, the one most likely to become the Lord of Killing, was dead.

Thus, Jimifer chose to strike at this moment, seeking to retaliate by killing a Law Lord in the Heavenly Realm!

When Lin Yan killed Lasoya, he did so with perfect cleanliness—Jimifer may not have discovered Lin Yan was the one responsible.

Yet Jimifer was not misled into believing the Dark Abyss Prison was to blame.

Beings of Lord-level status are not easily deceived.

Especially beings like Jimifer, who excel in deception and conspiracy.

After Jimifer's voice faded, the aura of the white-robed woman opposite instantly turned bitterly cold.

She gazed calmly at Jimifer's will.

And Jimifer's will refused to yield.

For a time, both sides stood locked in stalemate at the edge of the Heavenly Realm.

After nearly half a day passed, while other Law Lords wondered why the Abyss Lord had not yet arrived, the Balance Law's backlash finally arrived in full force!

"Here it comes!"

Venerable Tianlan's gaze sharpened!

With the Balance Law's backlash now fully upon them, not only did the Law Lords feel it.

Even ordinary Heavenly Realm gods felt it!

This backlash was neither in the form of energy nor of matter.

It came from a deeper, fundamental level of the Law itself.

"What's going on? I feel so suffocated."

One Heavenly Realm god clutched his chest.

"Is this the Law-level backlash one faces after completing the first step?"

Another Heavenly Realm god murmured.

"So terrifying—just a trace of this backlash, and I would likely have been utterly destroyed, body and soul!"

A third-tier heavenly deity said with visible dread.

Ordinary deities turned their gazes toward the corpse of the Azure Dragon Supreme.

Because Lin Yan was inside.

While the Law Lords watched Lin Yan, they also monitored the Deep Lord's movements.

The Deep Lord's will seemed to halt at the edge of the Heavenly Realm.

But in the Law Lords' perception, no great battle between deities had occurred there.

Immediately after, these Law Lords felt a surge, transcending all laws, arrive.

The Law Lords turned their gazes once more toward the corpse of the Azure Dragon Supreme.

Inside the corpse of the Azure Dragon Supreme, Lin Yan's flames still burned fiercely.

The backlash of the Balance Law targeted only himself, not anything else.

Thus, the corpse of the Azure Dragon Supreme remained intact.

The backlash of the Balance Law was a hundred times fiercer than that of the Flame Law.

"Let's see just how strong you are."

Lin Yan maintained his flames, and then the backlash of the Balance Law surged over him!

Lin Yan's energy points instantly dropped by over a hundred billion!

Within a second, Lin Yan's energy points plummeted multiple times—each drop exceeding several hundred billion!

But this was not over.

The backlash of the Balance Law would last for a considerable time.

Lin Yan did a quick calculation and realized that if he endured it directly, he could survive—but his energy points would be drained by at least half.

Yet Lin Yan had no intention of enduring it directly.

His attempt to endure it was merely to test whether he could withstand it.

Since he could withstand it, there was no need to waste energy points.

Thinking this, Lin Yan retracted his flames, reducing them to a tiny flicker.

This was the Unextinguishable State.

Once the Unextinguishable State manifested, no matter how fierce the backlash of the Balance Law, Lin Yan's flicker remained utterly unmoved!

But outside, the other Law Lords' expressions changed.

Because they sensed that this backlash of the Balance Law seemed unusually fierce!

"Trouble! The backlash of the Balance Law has become this fierce—the Deep Lord's will will surely come soon. Flame Lord, this time, we will likely be utterly destroyed, body and soul!"

One Law Lord, sensing the backlash of the Balance Law, paled and exclaimed involuntarily.
