Chapter 739: Embodiment of the Immortal Law
Enchantress Demon King actually can't understand at all—she's already loyal to the Demon Emperor, so why does she need to go through this extra step.
Although she is unwilling, she has to do it to save her own life.
As the oath is fulfilled, the refined blood that flies out from her body begins to boil; at this moment a portion of the refined blood flies toward Demon Emperor Lilian, and the blood also carries a fragment of the Enchantress Demon King's soul.
Lilian unceremoniously accepts the refined blood, and the Enchantress Demon King shivers all over, instantly feeling as if something has been added to her soul.
It seems to be an extra pair of hands that have clasped her soul.
As long as she moves even slightly, this hand can instantly crush her soul, leaving her with no place to be buried.
Eternal life, eternal loyalty—no betrayal allowed.
A layer of fine sweat beads on the Enchantress Demon King's body, and she feels terrified.
Fortunately she has no thought of betraying.
She never had before, and will never have in the future.
Demon Emperor Lilian smiles, "Congratulations—you'll survive the upcoming wave."
The Enchantress Demon King lifts her head, showing a look of astonishment.
The upcoming wave… does that mean something big is about to happen?
Then her gaze turns to utter shock; the form of the Demon Emperor before her changes.
The former Demon Emperor always seemed shrouded in clouds, invisible to anyone.
But now, the clouds part and the mist clears, and the Enchantress Demon King sees the Demon Emperor's true appearance.
Human Race!
The Demon Emperor's true form is actually a Human!
The Enchantress Demon King collapses to the ground, trembling all over.
At this moment, Demon Emperor Lilian smiles brightly, yet also coldly.
Dark‑green Abyssal Fire blazes fiercely, while the palace of the Demon Emperor grows even colder.
……
The Law roars; after the Fire Element Law and the Gale Law, Jiang Chen now faces the baptism of the Water Law and the Thunder Law.
Immediately following are the Light Law and the Dark Law.
Jiang Chen is speechless—how does Antares master every Law?
Antares merely shows off, "I'm an absolute genius; what's something I can't do?"
That remark is shameless.
Jiang Chen retorts on the spot, "Can you handle the Time Law?"
Antares is instantly silenced.
In the end Antares still explains the reason to Jiang Chen.
In the great world there is a principle called: one Law makes a hundred Laws accessible.
Once you reach a certain level, you can casually grasp many lower‑tier things.
Antares indeed knows many Laws, but only superficially,
For example, with several Elemental Laws, Antares can at most make them reach a god‑like attack level.
That is only because his own level is high enough to achieve it.
The Life Law is the same; Antares also knows a bit of it superficially.
Just a superficial grasp is enough for him to stride across this world.
He can even use these scraps to forge a Mythic Weapon like the Creation Scepter; in that great war of old, Antares indeed intervened.
Though he acted from the shadows, without him the whole world might have already collapsed.
In Jiang Chen's soul world, Antares stares intently at the skill star core that has already reached its limit.
Another star is about to appear.
Yet another star is about to explode.
When it explodes, that mysterious little black dot exerts a deadly attraction on Antares.
In the soul world, three stars are already glittering; a fourth is about to emerge.
Antares thinks of the eighteen more stars that will later appear, illuminating the soul world together, and can't help but curse "pervert".
In his perception, no one has ever possessed so many Star‑rank techniques; he's never even heard of it!
Boom!
A star explodes.
Amid the dazzling, blinding light, that little black dot appears as promised.
Its appearance lasts only half a second, yet Antares stretches that half‑second infinitely.
Jiang Chen also strains to look at the black dot, still seeing nothing.
This is the third observation; Jiang Chen has firmly memorized its aura.
Each time a star appears, the little black dot is identical, unchanged; now he records it without understanding, and will understand when the time comes.
Antares watches with a satisfied grin.
Jiang Chen does the same.
When a skill star core explodes and transforms into a star, the massive soul energy previously absorbed is fed back.
First it is absorbed by the Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal, refined, then expelled.
The soul's tier rises, and the soul space expands a few degrees.
The spirit locust, which had already reached the peak of level ninety‑three, now advances further, officially entering level ninety‑four,
The soul becomes even more pure and powerful.
For Jiang Chen, when the soul levels up one tier, combat power naturally rises dramatically.
【Undead Gaze (Fusion Rate 100%): Summon the eye of the undead from the Undead World, dealing soul damage to the target; damage is determined by soul strength.】
It doesn't look much different; the damage is no longer set by skill level, but purely by soul strength.
The stronger Jiang Chen's soul, the greater the damage.
The power is certainly enhanced, no doubt, but how much it increases is unknown.
Only a test will reveal it.
It's just the power of the Law…
That unpleasant feeling returns; the World Rune again influences Jiang Chen, and the Curse that cannot bear the Law still persists.
Jiang Chen feels little about it; it was already anticipated.
It's just that this star seems a bit different.
The light emitted by the star is slightly altered, appearing somewhat dim.
Within the dimness there is a hint of silver glow, unlike the colors of other stars.
Amid the light, Jiang Chen also senses a mysterious aura, as if it were some kind of Law.
"Is this… the Undead Law?"
Jiang Chen recalled the earlier dual‑star technique used against Antares; Antares had once said the attack contained a trace of a Law, which Jiang Chen named the Undead Law.
The Curse of the World Rune can prevent his Star Rank spell from bearing the Law, but it cannot suppress the Law inherent in the spell itself.
Antares also instructed Jiang Chen to focus on perceiving the Undead Law as primary, with others secondary.
Now, within the star of 【Undead Gaze】, an Undead Law aura is automatically emanating.
Jiang Chen cannot be completely sure whether he has misperceived it.
At this moment Antares awakens; once awake it fixes its gaze on the star, murmuring, "Your spell is strong." Jiang Chen asks, "Is this Law the same as the Undead Law you sensed before?"
Antares nods, confirming, "Yes, it's the Undead Law."
"This is a Law I've never heard of before; it must be unique to your profession," Antares says gravely.
Apart from some elemental Laws of the third echelon, many Laws are void‑like and extremely hard to comprehend.
But now the Undead Law is right before him, continuously radiating its aura for Jiang Chen to study.
One can imagine Jiang Chen's understanding of the Undead Law will increase dramatically.
Antares has never doubted Jiang Chen's talent.
Even if progress isn't a thousand miles a day, dozens to hundreds of miles a day will still occur.
Antares says, "Let's test the power; no need to find monsters—just use me."
Jiang Chen, without hesitation, points his finger toward the sky.
The sky suddenly darkens, and a Projection of the Undead World thunderously descends.
Antares's dragon eye snaps shut sharply.
It had seen Projections of the Undead World before, but never as realistic as now.
It seems not an illusion, but an actual world of that kind.
With the Undead Gate gone, a colossal eye appears directly in the air.
The eye's diameter exceeds a hundred kilometers—exactly one hundred thousand meters—like a massive canvas unfurled in the sky.
