Chapter 504 The Law of Space (1/2)
After rapidly gaining control of the situation on the Gold Coast, Yang Ling sent the Corpse Wizard King to lead the Great Magical Beasts Army onto the Tibetan Mountain to take over the defense of the Space Cracks on the Gold Coast. He then took the opportunity to go into Wissen Castle to train in cultivation. He hoped to combine the Divinity of the Light Templar Antonio, before venturing into the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, and quickly understand the mystery of the Law of Lightning.
The power of a Divine-level Expert was mainly dependent on two factors. One was on the depth of mastery of the Laws, and another was on how powerful one's Divine Power was. One could not do without the other. Just like if a student understood how to make a rocket missile, but had had no strength to lift the barrel of the rocket, then he would have no power to hurt anyone and was no better than a butcher who could only use a knife to slaughter cows and sheep.
The people who had mastered the Laws on their own were extremely powerful, often having a deep understanding of the Laws. But, the time spent was also usually extremely long. After spending thousands, even tens of thousands of years, one may not be able to master a new type of Law, not to mention master multiple types of Laws. If one was not able to absorb large amounts of Divine Power, then even if one understood the strongest Law, it would also be useless. It would be like holding the most advanced gun without bullets, and one could only stare at the enemy.
On the contrary, by combining another person's Divinity, one could not only rapidly master the Law, and take a shortcut, but could also absorb the person's essence of Divine Power, accumulated over thousands, even tens of thousands of years. So no matter on the Tailun Continent or on alternate dimensions, Divinity was extremely popular. Top-quality Divinity was even harder to get even with a lot of money. Because of this, the people spared no effort in trying to get into the Graveyard of Deities and Demons to look for the Divinity of ancient Deities and Demons.
The great effect of Divinity was without question, but it was also not an easy matter to try and combine the Divinity. A certain amount of time was needed, along with sufficient Divine Power and strong Mental Energy, even more so, a certain serendipity. For some people, even if they had gotten a high-level Divinity, they might not be able to combine it for their entire lives and be down in the dumps.
To an ordinary person, they could only put the Divinity in the palm of their hands and slowly sense the Law contained within the Divinity, at a slow pace. But Yang Ling was different. Even without the Black Marrow Crystal Essence, he also could forcibly swallow the Divinity into his body, his speed of combining quicker by many times. After leveling to Soul Wizard and combining the Soul Crystal, his Soul Energy increased greatly, and the speed at which he combined the Divinity became even faster.
According to the explanation on the Stele, Yang Ling understood that the pure Wish Power of the followers were greatly beneficial to his cultivation. But, he did not expect that the benefits brought about from the Wish Power coming from all over, far exceeded his expectations!
Under Goode's encouragement, and various Kings' and Lords' enthusiastic support, over a hundred Wizard Pagodas were rapidly built on the continent. Within a short period of time, the number of followers grew to tens of thousands. Every Wizard Pagoda was like a radar post, gathering the followers' Wish Power into Yang Ling's body, nourishing the thirsty Soul Crystal-like rainwater.
Like before, Yang Ling's cultivation created an energy whirlpool above the Wissen Castle, that did not dissipate even after a long time, gathering huge amounts of Life Force, Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, and Astral Energy. But different from before, there was an added element of invisible Wish Power.
Under the stimulation of the immense energy, the Body Honing Wizard Mantra activated by itself, and Yang Ling's physical body kept strengthening itself, continually strengthening without an end. Every vein and every inch of his bones absorbed large amounts of energy, and the muscles on his whole body kept expanding, contracting, and expanding again, and contracting…Full of explosive power and energy.
After absorbing large amounts of Wish Power, the Soul Crystal, in his mind, emitted a circle of cloudy Crystal Mist, enveloping the entire Wissen Castle. Within the radius of the mist, Yang Ling could clearly see the pulse of each person's soul. As long as Yang Ling wanted, he could easily lock on to their soul pulses or leave a Soul Seal on their bodies.
In this way, he could immediately teleport to their sides, and could also directly use the Roar of Dead Souls or Soul Explosion to attack their souls at close range. After catching a few wild Magical Beasts to experiment on, Yang Ling confirmed that within the radius of the Crystal Mist, he could soundlessly kill Magical Beasts that were level seven and below. Even for high-level Magical Beasts that were level seven and above, they would also be caught unaware and would be suffering without words. If it was not severe, they would suffer from waves of stabbing pain in their heads. If severe, their consciousness would break down, and they would become a puppet.
”Tsk tsk, this Crystal Mist is more terrifying than Divine Domain! If one day, the radius of the Crystal Mist can be expanded to envelop the entire Magical Beasts Realm or the whole Tailun Continent, then won't I be able to kill anyone I encounter, be it Buddha or Deities?” After using the Crystal Mist to break through a Lightning Bird's Soul Seal, and using the Soul Explosion to make it become an idiot, Yang Ling nodded his head in satisfaction. Thereafter, with a hand signal, a minuscule lightning bolt appeared on his fingertips, sizzling away.
After a few days of cultivation, even though he might be unable to combine with the Divinity of the Light Templar Antonio, and was unable to master the Law of Lightning, after a many failures, he finally could directly use the Lightning Attack, and could also add on lightning damage to the Blood Elf Dagger and the Ice Wind Storm. Be it his close combat capabilities or long-range attack, all of them were much better than before.
”Poor fellow, go on!”
Looking at the idiot Lightning Bird, which had lost consciousness, Yang Ling gave a light flick, and a mini snake-like lightning bolt was rapidly fired, electrocuting the bird and burning it to charcoal. Even though the lightning might not look like much, its attack power could not be overlooked. While, when compared to the Light Templar Antonio, who had mastery of the Law of Lightning, it was still a distance away at the moment, but it was comparable to the Unicorn, which specialized in Lightning Attacks!
There was truly a difference in the speed of training after absorbing large amounts of Wish Power!
