Chapter 675: The Key to Breaking the Deadlock: Adapting the Law

The Electric Element immunity is no longer effective.

Jiang Chen was suddenly startled.

He had encountered this before.

The lightning shifted from blue to purple, and Jiang Chen sensed the aura of the law within it.

Law power had merged into the Electric Element, causing it to change. Jiang Chen had already come into contact with the law, even grasping a hint of its surface and knowing some of its characteristics.

The law bears a strong personal signature; for example, two people using the law of electricity will manifest it differently.

The souls of the two individuals merge into the law, carrying strong personal traits. Although Jiang Chen is immune to the Electric Element, he cannot be immune to the Electric Element after it has been infused with the law.

The infusion of the law caused the Electric Element to change.

The lightning released by the Ancient Thunder Tower carried its own law, causing Jiang Chen to lose his immunity.

However, because of the nature of his Electric Element immunity, he can still mitigate most of the damage.

The remaining damage is further reduced by his own Skill and then passed on to the Undead Legion in the Summoning Space.

This keeps Jiang Chen's endurance far beyond that of others.

"This assessment is really tough!"

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth against the tingling numbness and increased the output of his soul power again.

Since the Ancient Thunder Tower unleashed law power, its strength has surged, and the dissolution speed of the soul imprint has accelerated again.

Jiang Chen had to give his all.

The tingling numbness grew stronger, affecting Jiang Chen's thoughts.

The imprint began to weaken again, becoming ever weaker.

The Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal seemed to sense Jiang Chen's situation and began spewing large amounts of soul power.

But it could only keep Jiang Chen at the current state.

Moreover, as time passed, the lightning kept intensifying, and the law power kept growing.

"Break the deadlock

!"

The thought sprang up in Jiang Chen's mind; he realized he had to find a way to break the deadlock.

He suddenly understood how mighty the core of the Ancient Thunder Tower, which had accumulated a thousand years of power, truly was—far beyond his own.

If he continued, even with all the soul power he could muster, he would not be able to endure.

The assessment shouldn't be like this; Antares said it was difficult but not impossible, indicating there must be a chance.

It certainly isn't about brute forcing.

"Opportunity… the method of breaking the deadlock."

Jiang Chen's soul flared, and he finally thought of something.

If not to fight, then to adapt.

How to adapt? By comprehending your law.

The core released only a tiny amount of law, just a single thread. Clearly, that was time given for adaptation.

"Why didn't I think of this at the start? I'm so stupid!"

Jiang Chen cursed himself silently and resumed multitasking.

He kept the soul imprint while beginning to comprehend the law.

Having previously experienced the insight of the law of life, this time was even more familiar. After all, Jiang Chen need not command the law; merely adapting to it was enough.

The difficulty dropped dramatically.

He let the law‑infused lightning pass through his body, traversing his soul.

Jiang Chen sensed with utmost care, seizing every nuance.

He dissected, comprehended, and tried to merge with it.

The Ancient Thunder Tower's law gradually ceased affecting his body, and its impact on the soul imprint grew weaker.

Jiang Chen began to understand the law a bit and started adapting.

……

In the pitch‑black Abyss World, green flames kept rising.

The Abyssal Fire rose several hundred meters, covering a radius of a thousand meters and forming a massive Barrier.

The Barrier was incredibly sturdy, bearing law power.

Several powerful Demon Kings simultaneously

began to manipulate the Barrier, continuously launching attacks on those inside it.

Within the Barrier, Shenlong Tower spun continuously, shedding myriad rays of light.

Among the light, runes flickered, forming a formation that resisted attacks from the Barrier.

Li Xueru, Lao Hong, and Yan Kuangsheng stood within the formation, their expressions extremely grim.

Bai Yiwu and Yan Kuangsheng's faces were somewhat pallid, with blood‑streaked corners of their mouths, clearly injured,

the two had just taken healing medicine, yet their wounds had not recovered. Numerous cuts on their bodies pulsed with law power, continuously causing damage,

They likewise used law power to fight, trying to control the wounds.

But evidently, the effect was not very good,

Li Xueru entered the Abyss World and quickly located them.

He used Shenlong Tower to teleport there; by the time he arrived, Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng had already been wounded.

According to them, several high‑rank Demon Kings had teamed up to ambush them.

As for the Light Temple, its whereabouts had long been unknown.

When Li Xueru arrived, they finally realized they had been duped. The two paid the price for their impulsiveness.

A massive Barrier descended from the sky, cutting off space and trapping the three inside. The Barrier completely sealed the space, and even Shenlong Tower could not teleport out.

Lao Hong was very annoyed, "I was too impulsive."

Yan Kuangsheng snorted, "Who would have thought an Abyss Demon could be so despicable, actually tricking us in."

Lao Hong said, "Lao Meng, it's one thing that the two of us were duped, but why did you also come?"

Li Xueru stared at him like a fool, "If you all came, how could I not?"

Lao Hong said, "It's fine that we're here; our iron triangle together always has a better chance."

Li Xueru shook his head, "No chance—"

"—of it."

Yan Kuangsheng said, "Why? Once we heal a bit, we'll break out together. I don't believe these people can stop us."

Li Xueru whispered, "They can't stop us; can the Demon Realm stop us?"

Yan Kuangsheng and Lao Hong inhaled deeply, showing incredulous expressions.

"You mean this time was designed by the Demon Emperor?"

"Where did the Light Temple go? Could it be the Demon Emperor's doing?"

"You entered and were ambushed, and with so many high‑rank Demon Kings, who besides the Demon Emperor could mobilize them?"

Li Xueru's words almost took away their last hope.

Lao Hong sighed, "We were indeed impulsive; does that mean we have no hope?"

Li Xueru shook his head, "Our lives don't matter; what matters is that we aren't the Demon Emperor's target."

Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng suddenly realized something, their faces showing shock. Yan Kuangsheng exclaimed, "You mean the Demon Emperor's target is Xiao Yu? That can't be; Xiao Yu is only at such a low level, the Demon Emperor wouldn't personally go after him."

Li Xueru said, "We are nothing in the Demon Emperor's eyes; Xiao Yu is his biggest concern."

Yan Kuangsheng said, "Hopefully Xiao Yu doesn't know, please don't come." Lao Hong added, "Hopefully Xiao Yu is completely unaware of our situation, so he won't come."

Li Xueru still refuted their view, "Xiao Yu will definitely come, and even if he doesn't know, the Demon Emperor will find a way to let him know."

"We are bait; the small fish is the big fish the Demon Emperor wants to hook."

"This is an overt scheme that forces Xiao Yu to come in."

Lao Hong's eyes flashed with ferocity, "Despicable scoundrel, if I now—"

"—commit suicide, wouldn't they have no bait?"

Li Xueru let out a long sigh, "It's useless; even if we die, the Demon Realm won't spread the news of our death. Xiao Yu won't know; the only thing Xiao Yu could know is that we came here."

Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng looked at each other, speaking in unison, "Since you're so clear, why did you come in?"

Li Xueru closed his eyes, "You two, having lived half your lives, are still like fools!"

……

Shenlong Ancient City, a massive army pressing the borders.

An allied force of over one hundred thousand Demon Dragon Race troops launched a fierce assault on Shenlong Ancient City. Feng Yiming has already sent a request for aid; a Human Race Divine-level Strongman will arrive soon to assist.

Shenlong Ancient City's defenses are strong; it should hold for a while.
