Chapter 1535 - He Who Risks Nothing Gains Nothing! (2/2)
Bu Fang nodded in agreement. The countless soldiers of that army were all Laws, their numbers so many that they were almost equivalent to a corner of the Sea of Laws. This was not something that the average person dared to imagine.
Suddenly, Bu Fang paused. Narrowing his eyes, he glanced at Lord Dog, then at the Divine Emperor, who was covered in blood and fighting like a madman in the distance. ‘Those soldiers are made of Laws… the condensation of the purest Power of Law. In that case…’
Bu Fang looked at the Divine flame, which was burning in his palm. He seemed to feel the exultation coming from it. He bit his lip and thought, ‘It’s a bold idea, but it also seems… very feasible…’
The Divine Emperor was fighting with his Heavengod Punch, and whenever he threw out a punch, one soldier made of Laws would be smashed to pieces and turned into the purest energy, scattering in the void. All he had to do was quietly swallow them with the Divine flame…
‘Perfect!’ The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly. He flicked his fingers, and immediately, a tiny Divine flame—which looked as if it were about to go out at any moment—drifted toward the battlefield that had spread about ten thousand miles in circumference.
The entire skyline of the capital had been transformed into a boundless battle zone. Quietly, the Divine flame approached it. In the face of the vast battlefield, it looked no different from a speck of dust. No one noticed it, except Lord Dog, who was at Bu Fang’s side and saw him throw out the flame.
Lord Dog widened his eyes and stared at Bu Fang in disbelief. “Bu Fang boy…are you out of your mind? That’s the Heavengod’s calamity, and it’s filled with karma! How could you meddle in it? Do you want to be tangled by the calamity? With your current strength, a wisp of the calamity would be enough to wipe you out! This has nothing to do with fighting prowess…” Lord Dog said, his gentle and magnetic voice filled with anxiety.
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth curled up slightly as he listened to Lord Dog’s caring words. Then, he reached out a hand and patted Lord Dog on the head. “Don’t worry…” he said.
Lord Dog rolled his eyes and did not know what to say anymore. ‘Why is he so calm? He must have no idea how terrible this so-called calamity is! The Xiayi Divine Emperor is at his peak form now, and of the three Divine Emperors in the Chaotic Universe, he is the strongest. And yet, he is already at the end of his tether and about to be tortured to death! How could he be so calm?’
Meddling in the calamity? Bu Fang did not do it by accident. He did that on purpose. Although the Heavengod’s Laws had elevated the Divine flame to a very powerful level, it had not yet reached its perfection. He who risked nothing gained nothing. If this calamity could let the Divine flame reach its perfection, the risk was worth taking. This was why Bu Fang decided to release the Divine flame.
A flickering flame drifted unsteadily across the void, emitting a faint silver light like the dying star in the night sky. Finally, it closed in on the calamity.
Xia Yuhe never noticed the fire. In fact, he did not have the mood to pay attention to a tiny flame now. He threw out another punch, unleashing a terrible energy wave that was powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth. Countless soldiers were crushed to shreds under this punch.
This was the Heavengod Punch. He had once proudly claimed that no one under the Heavengod realm was his match, so he invented this punch technique to put him on par with Heavengods. However, when he looked at it now, he found it extremely ridiculous.
A mere Heavengod’s calamity was about to kill him, and his so-called Heavengod Punch would soon become a joke. He panted violently, and the world in his eyes began to turn somewhat blurry. These soldiers, who were made of the Power of Law, were immortal. He had destroyed hundreds of them, but soon, he was engulfed by thousands and tens of thousands more soldiers. He was beginning to lose his strength.
A group of soldiers was blown apart and turned into the most original Power of Law, swirling in the air. Energy burst out of it as it tried to slowly recover. However, a silver Divine flame drifted over at that moment, flickering as it wrapped around the Power of Law. The next moment, before the Power of Law could condense into soldiers, it was absorbed by the Divine flame. After absorbing a wisp of Power of Law, the Divine flame did not change, and it continued flying toward the next wisp of Power of Law.
“Success!” Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. Beside him, Lord Dog twitched his mouth.
The black whirlpool in the sky did not rain down a terrible punishment. Clearly, Bu Fang was not implicated in the calamity. He made the right bet!
At the moment, the whole capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty was enveloped in a sad atmosphere. The eyes of the soldiers and generals were red as they looked up at the sky—at their Divine Emperor who never gave up even when he was blanketed and engulfed by countless soldiers. He was still fighting bravely.
They hated the fact that they could not join the Divine Emperor in charging across the battlefield and slaughtering the enemy!
King Pingyang’s face was already covered in tears. He seemed to sense the Divine Emperor’s helplessness. Not only him, but some old courtiers had already slumped to the ground. The Divine Emperor was facing his calamity, and yet they, his subjects, could only watch. They felt that they were not worthy to be his subjects!
Summer was silent, and she felt a little upset. Nethery, on the other hand, was calm as she watched—she did not know the Divine Emperor well. Suddenly, she turned and saw Bu Fang and Lord Dog, who were hovering in the distant sky. With a thought, her aura fluctuated, and she came beside them.
The Divine Emperor was fighting bravely, throwing out one punch after another. He did not want to die, and he did not want to fail. The people of his divine dynasty were all watching right now, and he did not want to disappoint them…
Suddenly, his eyes opened slightly and gleamed. He felt much less pressure. These soldiers of Law… were weakening! Or rather, those soldiers no longer returned after they were destroyed by him! The soldiers were decreasing, and he could still fight! There was hope!
The Divine Emperor focused his eyes and roared with excitement. Air waves burst out of him as he rotated his cultivation base to the extreme.
Rumbling could be heard from inside the spinning black whirlpool. Suddenly, it burst into divine light, and then five beams of light shot out of it. The Divine Emperor felt the pressure mount instantly, and he sucked in a cold breath. “Are they the generals… condensed of the supreme Laws of the Universe?!”
Boom!
The next moment, a dragon, a phoenix, a turtle, a tiger, and a Qilin emerged in the sky, all roaring at the same time! Everyone held their breath as they realized that the calamity was finally… at its peak!

Bu Fang’s eyes lit up instantly as he stared at the five existences, his breathing becoming faster.
“These are the supreme Laws of the Universe… After devouring them, the Divine flame will definitely reach its perfection!”
