Chapter 1243

Upon awakening to the spiritual arts, the concept of the Five Elements fire gradually took shape in Xiao Feng's mind.

The Five Elements' principles cannot be grasped all at once; today he merely comprehended one of them.

After grasping the marvel of the Five Elements fire, Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes.

With a thought, he raised a single hand.

From the three main divine crystals of the Five Elements fire at his side, a strand of divine power separated and gathered in his palm.

Whoosh~

The flames blazed up, emitting a golden‑red light; though not blinding, the temperature was enough to scorch.

Normally, casting fire magic required him to spend mana, no matter how small, drawing it from his own source divine crystal.

But this ball of flame now consumes no divine power at all; instead, it "borrows" energy from the three main divine crystals beside him!

The power of laws is to borrow the natural forces of the universe to cast spells.

The three main divine crystals beside him have no owner; they are merely pure energy crystals, naturally usable.

Xiao Feng put away the main divine crystals, then tried again.

This time, without the main divine crystals providing energy, the "borrowing law" process became a bit more complicated.

Xiao Feng's thought stirred, spreading out, he sensed the space several hundred meters around him and found the invisible, formless fire‑law power in the air.

He then manifested it into real fire, condensing it into countless fire threads that gathered toward his palm.

The myriad fire threads formed a vortex, reaching his palm, where they blazed again, forming a beautiful golden‑red flame.

Xiao Feng nodded to himself: "That should be it; with more familiarity, I can truly master the power of laws."

The effect of the divine elixir of spiritual arts still had 12 hours left; he continued to contemplate and train, shortening the time it took him to borrow power from heaven and earth.

Initially, it took five or six seconds to borrow the fire's power.

But with repeated attempts and training, this speed grew faster and faster.

Four to five seconds, three to four seconds, two to three seconds…

Unbeknownst to him, several hours passed, and Xiao Feng could now summon the fire of heaven and earth within one second.

But that wasn't enough!

He took out the main divine crystals again, crushed them with overbearing force, and released an immensely rich Five Elements fire energy.

The terrifying energy ran wild; due to its excessive density, it directly formed tangible flames, igniting the surrounding mountains and forests, creating a horrifying blaze.

With a thought, Xiao Feng's law power attracted and swiftly captured this fire energy dissipating between heaven and earth, forcibly borrowing it!

Whoosh~

A huge fire vortex appeared; the spreading flames, under his forced summoning, were sucked straight in, no longer burning the mountains and trees, but falling into his hand, condensing into an extremely condensed golden flame!

The whole process took less than a second; its speed was far greater than extinguishing fire with water!

【Ding~ Congratulations, you have successfully comprehended the power of laws!】

At that instant, a system prompt sounded in Xiao Feng's ear.

【You have comprehended the power of laws; the law‑comprehension system is activated; the character gains a new attribute—please open the personal panel for details.】

【Friendly reminder: Since your realm is below divine level and your law‑comprehension value is under 500, you cannot yet use the law phantom effect.】

Then two more prompts appeared in succession.

Xiao Feng felt something.

The law phantom is a divine‑level means that can greatly boost attack power; if one hasn't reached divine level, a law‑comprehension value over 500 is required.

Thus, most of the players he met in the Primordial World who grasped the power of laws could not summon a phantom; only those born with the law power in Tian Shen Zu Di could do so.

A law‑comprehension value of 500… seems rather difficult.

Xiao Feng opened his personal attribute panel to check the newly appeared function.

Law comprehension is a brand‑new interface, similar to clone management, with an independent system that can be operated.

Upon entering, one can see a temporarily somewhat empty page.

【Five Elements Fire (Medium Law)】

Current law‑comprehension value: 10/10 (automatically recovers 2% every 10 minutes)

Law effect: Increases all fire‑element skill damage by 100%; when releasing a normal attack with law power, it additionally deals law‑comprehension value × 10 million fire‑element damage (this effect is unaffected by any talents or skill boosts, only affected by the law‑comprehension value cap, and also inherently ignores 30% damage reduction).

Law tempering effect:

1. Every 20 points of intellect convert to X points of divine origin power (X = law‑comprehension value)

2. Every 40 points of spirit convert to X points of divine power resistance (X = law‑comprehension value)

Law skill: Not comprehended

Law phantom: Not unlocked

Xiao Feng's current level and realm are insufficient, so this function has not yet been fully activated.

Seeing the law tempering effect, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

"'Converting 20 intellect to 10 divine origin power seems not much. This coefficient is two‑way: intellect must be high and law‑comprehension value high; otherwise, like me now with 90,000 intellect, I only gain over 45,000 divine origin power—less than a divine artifact ring.' Xiao Feng thought."

It's not that the law tempering effect is weak; mainly, his law‑comprehension level is too low.

Like the bosses in the "Divine Challenge," an 800‑level law‑comprehension value reaches as high as 20,000 points; with 90,000 intellect, it would convert to 90 million divine origin power—attack power is terrifying!

However, raising law‑comprehension to 20,000 points is also extremely difficult; the bosses in the Heavenly Tower are stronger than outside NPCs—in fact, even a 999‑level divine being would probably struggle to reach that number.

Not to mention the 999‑level bosses inside, whose law‑comprehension value reaches an astonishing 40,000 points!

Moreover, there is another difference.

Different law grades yield different tempering effects!

Five Elements Fire converts once per 20 points of intellect.

Whereas Elemental Fire requires 30 points of intellect to convert, effectively halving the rate.

Spirit's conversion to divine power resistance is lower than intellect's conversion to divine origin power.

Since the law of Five Elements Fire is offensive, its defensive effect is certainly weaker than its offensive effect.

If one comprehends a higher law, the tempering effect gains three strands, becoming even stronger.

Furthermore, comprehending several laws also aids in enhancing the tempering effect.

For instance, simultaneously comprehending the fire and earth laws.

In the fire system's tempering effect, converting to divine power resistance needs 40 points of spirit.

In the earth system's tempering effect, converting requires only 20 points of physique.

Then the superior effect between the two will be triggered!

Of course, if many laws are comprehended, simultaneously activating divine origin power, divine power resistance, HP, movement speed, damage reduction, and various other tempering effects, they cannot all take effect—only those granted by the highest-quality law can.

For instance, while comprehending Five Elements Fire, one also comprehends Element Earth, Element Water, and Element Wind.

The earth element's divine power resistance tempering effect, sharing the same nature as Five Elements Fire and being superior, can override and trigger.

The HP boost from the water element and the speed boost from the wind element fall outside the tempering effect range of the highest-quality law 'Five Elements Fire', so they cannot take effect at all—they can only be used separately as a law means, providing no tempering effect.

This is why the power of laws values precision over quantity.

Xiao Feng's hand still condenses three fragments of the scattered law power from the shattered Main Godhead.

After seeing the changes brought by the power of laws, he gained a deeper understanding of its effects.

Meanwhile, the energy in his hand is about to burst, ready to explode.

This borrowed energy comes not from nature but from the Main Godhead; it cannot be returned to nature, nor recondensed into crystals, and can only be released.

The immense energy could destroy an entire forest; Xiao Feng dared not fling it wildly, flashing upward to the Nine Heavens Ti Qiong, then with a thought, released the energy.
