Chapter 528: Linley Breaks Through

As early as ten thousand years ago, some of the Sovereigns had discovered that the Sovereigns of the Locke faction, led by Chief Sovereign Locke, had disappeared without a trace.

This made many of the Sovereigns somewhat uneasy.

Because of Chief Sovereign Locke's existence, they did not believe that something had happened to the Locke faction.

However, the Sovereigns of the Locke faction had not shown any obvious preference in the struggle between Chief Sovereign Linley and Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff.

Clearly, just as before, Chief Sovereign Locke was not interested in conflicts at the Sovereign level.

Yesterday, Chief Sovereign of Fate had challenged Chief Sovereign Linley to a battle.

Although Linley had already begun working on the fusion of the Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire under Chief Sovereign Locke's guidance,

even though Linley had witnessed the scene of Locke using Hongmeng Energy to evolve Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire and create a universe for him, in these short ten thousand years, he was still only a step away from completely fusing the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.

One step apart was the difference between a mayfly and Heaven and Earth.

Although Linley's current strength was considerably greater than it had been ten thousand years ago, and even without completely fusing the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, the parts he had already fused had caused his strength to surge once again,

unfortunately, unless one became an Overgod, it was impossible to break through the defenses of an Overgod artifact.

Orloff, who possessed the complete set of three Overgod artifacts, directly ignored all of Linley's attacks.

If Linley's attacks had not been one level stronger than Orloff's, Linley would probably have already been defeated by Orloff.

However, after Orloff revealed the strongest technique he had created at this moment, all the Sovereigns knew that Linley was going to lose.

"What a powerful pressure."

As the person directly facing the strongest technique, "Transcending Reincarnation," Linley felt something far beyond what the other Sovereigns could sense.

Linley had once seen Chief Sovereign Locke tear through the barrier of the Magic Universe with his bare hand.

However, at that time, Linley had still been too weak and simply could not sense how terrifying that casual stroke from Chief Sovereign Locke truly was.

Now, in Linley's eyes, the "Transcending Reincarnation" technique used by Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff was considerably weaker than Locke's casual stroke.

However, it was already capable of shaking the barrier of the Magic Universe.

If it were just a little stronger, it might even be able to tear through the Magic Universe.

Of course, Linley also knew that fortunately, the might of "Transcending Reincarnation" was lacking by that slight margin.

Otherwise, once the barrier of the Magic Universe was broken and the Hongmeng Energy outside the universe surged into it, before the origin power of the Magic Universe could absorb the Hongmeng Energy, this Hongmeng Energy would be a terrifying existence capable of completely dissolving everything around it.

"Am I going to die?"

Although the might of this "Transcending Reincarnation" technique was inferior to Chief Sovereign Locke's casual stroke, Linley had still not completed the fusion of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, nor did he possess an Overgod artifact for material defense.

Once Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff unleashed this attack, Linley would have no chance of survival.

This was also why, after using this technique, Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff said that he had ultimately won.

Linley looked up and could clearly see that beneath the magic array surrounding Orloff, the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns was once again fusing with the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire under the effects of the magic array.

"So beautiful…"

In an instant, Linley became entranced by the fusion of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire driven by the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.

He himself was already walking the path of fusing the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. He was only one final step away from fusing the four Laws.

At this moment, although he was deeply immersed in danger, the fusion of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire drawn out by Orloff's "Transcending Reincarnation" through the magic array still caused Linley to become immersed in it.

The might of "Transcending Reincarnation" gathered upon the Overgod sword in Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff's hand. Then, Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff raised it high and brought it down in a slash.

"Transcending Reincarnation!"

The greatest sound is beyond sound.

This sword light tore through the sky.

Countless currents of spatial turbulence were severed by this sword light from Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff.

In the eyes of the Sovereigns watching from outside the battlefield, it seemed as though even the world itself had been split apart by this single sword strike from Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff.

"So that's how it is. I understand it now!"

Boom, boom, boom—

Just as this sword light was about to strike Linley, suddenly, the Laws of Heaven and Earth descended, completely enveloping Linley.

"This is... the Laws of Heaven and Earth descending?"

Under these Laws of Heaven and Earth, the strongest sword strike that Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff had unleashed was completely unable to cause the slightest damage to Linley before disappearing without a trace.

There was nothing that could be done. This was precisely what made the Laws of Heaven and Earth invincible.

Before one had leapt beyond the framework of the universe's Laws, everything was governed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff's "Transcending Reincarnation" could be said to be the strongest technique in the Magic Universe.

Even Locke, during his time at the Sovereign level, had never created a technique comparable to "Transcending Reincarnation."

In Locke's view, aside from someone like Linley, the "Son of Heaven's Mandate," Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff was perhaps the only person in the Magic Universe who had a chance of transcending the universe.

Of course, Locke also knew that this was merely a "possibility."

Given several thousand more Great Ages, Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff might be able to create a technique capable of breaking through the limits of the Magic Universe and tear apart the universe's barrier.

However, within the Magic Universe, only someone who possessed divine clones of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire and fused these four different Laws could fuse them into Hongmeng Energy, cultivate a Hongmeng Body and Hongmeng Spirit.

Otherwise, the moment Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff broke through the barrier of the Magic Universe would also be the instant of his death.

The descent of these Laws of Heaven and Earth directly left the many Sovereigns dumbfounded.

The Sovereigns were all familiar with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Under normal circumstances, a divine clone only had four opportunities in its entire life to trigger the descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The first was when it completely comprehended one Profound Mystery of a Law, or fused more than half of two Profound Mysteries of a Law. The Laws of Heaven and Earth would descend and bestow a divine spark, allowing the lifeform to directly advance from the Saint-level to the Deity level.

The second time was when a lifeform completely comprehended two Profound Mysteries of a Law and advanced to God.

The third time was when a lifeform completely comprehended an entire Law and advanced to Highgod.

And this was also the limit at which most lifeforms could trigger the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Only an extremely small number of people could completely fuse an entire Law, become a "Paragon," and thereby trigger the fourth descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The Magic Universe had existed for more than fifteen hundred Great Ages since it was created by Hongmeng.

Over such a long period of time, excluding the Locke faction, the number of people who had become Paragons could still be counted on two hands.

Chief Sovereign Linley had triggered the descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth at this moment. Could one of his divine clones have become a Paragon?

Unfortunately, even if he had become a Paragon and received the protection of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the Sovereigns watching the battle still did not believe that Linley could reverse the situation.

After all, Linley himself was already a Lesser Sovereign with the Paragon of the Law of Earth.

Even if his other three Sovereign divine clones also became Paragons, it would merely raise the strength of his other three divine clones to the level of his Earth Sovereign divine clone.

Such a situation could make up for Linley's weakness, but it would not raise the upper limit of Linley's strength.

What these Sovereigns did not know, however, was that the Laws of Heaven and Earth Linley had triggered this time were not because one of his Sovereign divine clones had completely comprehended an entire Law and become a Paragon.

Rather, under Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff's "Transcending Reincarnation," Linley had completely comprehended the final key to the fusion of the four different Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, successfully fusing the Profound Mysteries of the Earth element, Wind element, Water element, and Fire element.

The fusion of three different Laws possessed power comparable to that of a Paragon.

The fusion of four different Laws was more than ten times stronger than that of a Paragon.

Of course, more importantly, after Linley completed the fusion of the four different Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, the fused Sovereign power of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire within his body began to completely separate. Under the might of the fused Laws, they began to fuse together once again.

Very quickly, within Linley's body, the Sovereign power of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire fused into a gray mist.

Linley was extremely familiar with this mist.

When Chief Sovereign Locke had torn through the barrier of the Magic Universe, the Hongmeng Energy that had surged into the Magic Universe from beyond the universe's barrier had looked exactly like this.

Furthermore, the Hongmeng Energy formed by the fusion of his own Sovereign power was completely under Linley's control and would not cause him the slightest harm.

Very quickly, under the protection of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, this Hongmeng Energy began tempering Linley's body, causing his physical strength to rise rapidly and strengthening his body into a Hongmeng Body.

Afterward, this Hongmeng Energy surged into Linley's soul and continued tempering it.

The first to suffer were the four Sovereign sparks within Linley's soul space.

In terms of hardness, Sovereign sparks were not the slightest bit inferior to Overgod artifacts.

Both were things condensed by Hongmeng through mobilizing the Laws of Heaven and Earth of the Magic Universe.

However, at this moment, the four Sovereign sparks within Linley's soul space were instantly annihilated under the might of the Hongmeng Energy.

This directly startled Linley.

One had to know that when lifeforms in the Magic Universe became Deities, their souls were all within their divine sparks.

After refining a Sovereign spark, the divine spark would be devoured and replaced by the Sovereign spark, and the soul would naturally be within the Sovereign spark.

Fortunately, what relieved Linley was that although the Sovereign sparks were annihilated by the Hongmeng Energy, the Hongmeng Energy did not cause any damage to Linley's own soul.

Not only that, Linley's five portions of soul were directly fused into one under the effects of the Hongmeng Energy, then tempered by the Hongmeng Energy, acquiring a layer of hazy gray radiance.

"So powerful!"

The successful tempering of his Hongmeng Body and Hongmeng Spirit made Linley feel stronger than he had ever felt before.

Thus, when Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff once again slashed out a new attack at Linley, Linley likewise raised the long sword in his hand and swung it down toward Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff—

Boom!
