“Heavenly Flame Shield!” Huo Linger shouted.
The next moment, her shield of Heavenly Flames was ripped apart as if it were paper. She burst into flame runes and reformed a bit further away.
Huo Linger was furious. She hadn’t expected such a huge gap between her and Zhao Jinglong.
“Stay right there!”
Zhao Jinglong raised his hand toward Huo Linger. In response, Huo Linger kept forming hand seals, flames swirling around her. She refused to give up the fight.
At this moment, Zi Yan stepped in front of Huo Linger, her violet dress flowing.
“Let me fight him,” Zi Yan said.
Huo Linger wanted to keep going, but she knew deep down she couldn’t beat Zhao Jinglong.
With the old era’s laws sealed, Zhao Jinglong’s law power wasn’t as pure as hers, but he simply had too much of it for her to match. If she controlled a cup of this era’s laws, Zhao Jinglong had a whole barrel.
This fight wasn’t about skill, but about who had more law power. In this new world, the new era’s laws were unbeatable.
“Big sister Zi Yan, he’s very powerful. Be careful!” warned Huo Linger.
Huo Linger glanced back at the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree, where Cang Lu was hiding. If things took a turn for the worse, they should still be able to kill Zhao Jinglong with his help.
Besides her, Cang Lu had absorbed the greatest amount of law power from the primal chaos space. His Bloodfiend Halberd was especially deadly.
“Don’t worry. Just leave it to your big sister!” Zi Yan smiled at Huo Linger and motioned for her to move back and watch over the Flame God Sect’s barrier.
“Hahaha, you’re quite pretty. I’ve decided, I’ll be taking you along with the Heavenly Devil Zither!”
Zhao Jinglong’s heart raced when he saw Zi Yan. He had seen many beautiful women, but none with her noble and sacred presence.
With greed in his eyes, he shouted, “Show me how much of the Heavenly Devil Zither’s power you can unleash!”
Zhao Jinglong’s law manifestation burned as black flames raged. His law power rose to another level, and the immense force made the world tremble. He was cautious. Even though he was sure of his own strength, he didn’t dare to be careless against the legendary Heavenly Devil Zither.
“You overestimate yourself. There’s no need for me to use the Heavenly Devil Zither against someone like you.” Zi Yan snorted and formed a one-handed seal.
“Grand Dao Arcane Music—Gōng!”
BOOM!
A giant Gōng character appeared behind Zi Yan. It blocked out the sun and gave off a heavy, solemn feeling.
Then, a dragon’s roar echoed through the air. The world’s energy suddenly became calm, as if an invisible law had taken control.
The Gōng character trembled. Its divine power was overwhelming, not at all weaker than the law manifestation of a Divine Sovereign from the new era.
“This aura…!” Zhao Jinglong’s face changed. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. How could a Sovereign Lord control law power?
Most frightening of all, this Gōng character made him feel a crushing pressure. His law manifestation felt suppressed.
“You came at the right time. I happen to want to test my newly awakened divine law ability. Gōng law—Life-Ending String!”
As Zi Yan formed rapid hand seals, the Gōng character trembled behind her.
Suddenly, an azure zither string flew toward Zhao Jinglong, looking like the line between life and death.
A chill ran down Zhao Jinglong’s spine. He roared, and his law manifestation crossed its arms, shifting into absolute defense.
When the azure string hit the law manifestation, everyone was shocked to see it slice through as easily as a knife through a carrot. Zhao Jinglong’s law manifestation fell apart instantly.
Zhao Jinglong spat out blood. His whole body shook. It felt like his soul had been torn apart, and worst of all, he could no longer control his law power.
He tried to escape, but an azure string quickly wrapped around him.
“Damn!” Zhao Jinglong shouted, horrified.
He was shocked to find that this string was so sharp it cut through his flesh, all the way to his bone. If he tried to struggle, the string would cut him into pieces.
“Big sister Zi Yan, are you alright?” Yue Xiaoqian asked.
She immediately rushed over to Zi Yan’s side, propping her up. Zi Yan’s face was now a bit pale.
“I’m fine. It’s just a new divine ability, and my law power is too weak. That one attack exhausted it all,” Zi Yan replied, waving off Yue Xiaoqian’s concerns.
Although Zi Yan looked a bit pale, she was delighted by this result. She hadn’t expected this attack to be so powerful.
“Your comprehension level truly is astonishing. You were able to use a technique you had just learned without any major flaws,” the Heavenly Devil Zither’s voice echoed in her mind. “The Gōng note marks the beginning of the pentatonic scale. It symbolizes the wood element, representing spring and the start of new life. This is the ideal moment to grasp this divine skill, as darkness begins to recede and new life emerges. Without that boost, you wouldn’t be able to fully unleash this divine ability with your limited law power.”
“Ah, I see!” Zi Yan nodded. No wonder she had felt this technique could beat Zhao Jinglong. The moment was like spring, boosted by the power of heaven and earth. Using this move also gave her new insights into the new laws.
The world’s laws were still in chaos, but she could still draw some support from heaven and earth. Maybe she was someone chosen by the heavens as well.
At the same time, she gained a new understanding of the coming era. She no longer felt lost.
“Xiaoqian, I leave him to you. See if you can dredge anything useful out of his mouth,” said Zi Yan.
With that, Zi Yan went back to the Heavenly Devil Zither. She sat under the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree and kept listening to the voice of the Grand Dao.
“What… What are you doing?! I’m warning you, if you kill me, the Devil Venerate will not let you off!” Zhao Jinglong shouted as ferociously as he could.
“Devil Soul Refinement!”
Yue Xiaoqian ignored his threats and placed a devil-restraining seal on his forehead. Zhao Jinglong screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
