136 The princes eightfold daggers. (1/2)

Li Yang somewhat curiously inspected the Void Born in front of him, especially his now golden hair and silver eyes. Looking at the fact that the Void Born had the ability to adapt to any energy that it ate he guessed that these changes meant that the Void Born had grown more resilient towards his own golden flames as well as Zhao Feng's law of motion, there was even a chance that it had grown to resist Li Yang's law of ice.

The Void Born was starting to walk towards them, parts of its body occasionally twitching and turning into the same tentacle-like state as its right arm, it seemed like having to regenerate like that took quite a bit out of it. Li Yang cast a quick glance at Zhao Feng, gesturing towards the Void Born with his chin.

”Your law of the soul, how useful will it be against him?”

Zhao Feng had been in contact with the Void Born for at least two full seconds earlier, that was plenty of time for him to use his law of the soul. And Li Yang knew him well enough to know that Zhao Feng would test out anything he could as quickly as he could, especially in a battle like this. Zhao Feng clicked his tongue once, shaking his head and mimicking Li Yang's glance.

”It'll be able to do about fuck all. I've never encountered anything like it, but that thing doesn't have a single soul, it has millions of them, about 17 million to be exact. It's as if each cell in its body has its own soul, all of them able to become the main soul of the body at any moments notice. If we wanna kill it by destroying the soul, we gotta kill all 17 million at once. What about your 'special' law?”

Tian Zheng was crouching on the ground a few tens of meters behind them, this wasn't exactly the best place for Zhao Feng to loudly name Li Yang's law of destruction. Li Yang sucked on his teeth for a short moment while narrowing his eyes, eventually shaking his head.

”It might be able to work, but I'm not going to test it out against this thing. The last thing we need right now is for that law to run rampant on our asses.”

They had already discovered earlier that any law that got close to the Void Born would become unstable, the Qi used to control it would even try to avoid the Void Born. If Li Yang tried to use his law of destruction against the Void Born and it ended up becoming unstable then there was no telling how disastrous the consequences would end up being. Zhao Feng had somewhat expected an answer like this, nothing ever ended up being easy for them after all, letting out a sigh while rolling his shoulders.

”Alright, then I guess we gotta smack him around until he gives up on living, a rather novel concept if you ask me. I've got more spare energy than you, so I'll take the lead, but I'll leave the killing blow up to you, that isn't exactly my specialty against things like this.”

Zhao Feng stretched out his arms while he was talking, making a tearing motion with both of them. The two arms of the Void Born, that were heading straight for their skulls, started to twitch in slight resistance before being forced to the side, the wrist parts of the arms breaking and bending backward. Li Yang saw Zhao Feng's brows furrow slightly so it seemed like the Void Born had indeed somewhat adapted to his law of motion.

Zhao Feng quickly stepped forward after redirecting the attack, his form turning into a blur as he shot forward at full speed. By the time Zhao Feng arrived in front of the Void Born, eight small daggers made from a mixture of silver scales and transparent crystal had appeared in the air around him, each of them moving in small rhythmic movements that resembled dancing.

The Void Born's chest split open, tens of black tentacles wriggling forth and heading directly for Zhao Feng, who responded by grabbing onto the hilt of two of the daggers. He cut through the tentacles with relative ease thanks to the sharpness of his daggers, the severed tentacles falling to the ground at a strangely slow speed. The six daggers still floating around him also started to move, each of them moving around like wasps as they started to cut away at the Void Born.

Black tentacles started to grow out of the entire body of the Void Born, tiny black holes covering every inch of the tentacles as they lashed at Zhao Feng and the six daggers. But just as the Void Born was focusing on Zhao Feng and the daggers, a golden light appeared behind it, the subdued rumbling of thunder causing the earth to vibrate.
