The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 537: Law Integration

When it comes to Law Mastery in Aether, there are three great Realms: Basic Understanding, Law Fragmentation, and finally, Law Integration.

As its name suggests, Basic Understanding is the most basic of the three states of comprehension. Martial artists at this level develop a fundamental comprehension of universal Laws and how they relate to martial arts and spells.

They start to understand the basic principles of these Laws and apply them to enhance their abilities, but it is still elementary and only granted a slight upgrade in power.

Of course, there are exceptions to the weakness of Basic understanding. Some Laws, even at this level, can significantly improve your might, but those are extremely powerful and challenging, such as the Law of Space. And even then, their understanding is still shallow.

Only at Law Fragmentation can a cultivator call himself savvy when it comes to a Law. At this stage, martial artists delve deeper into the Laws, breaking them down into smaller components for a more nuanced understanding.

Cainʼs Law Mastery over the Law of Darkness had delved deep into this realm, which was one of the many reasons he could advance so fast in the initial stages of the Law of Space. After all, the Law of Darkness yielded a certain level of control over space, and by reaching Law Fragmentation, he could delve into that power.

However, even if you reach the Extreme Law Fragmentation Realm, you can only call yourself a scholar of the Laws. Only after advancing to the next level would you gain the right to call yourself a master.

Law Integration delves into the integration of fragmented Laws, gaining a comprehensive understanding of their interplay and synergy. This stage often involves the development of unique perspectives and the creation of personalized techniques and martial arts styles. People at this level can use their insight to create unique spells tailored especially for them.

However, the most important and significant milestone of Law Integration is the fact you can infuse the power of the Laws directly into your spells, allowing them to gain a certain degree of spirituality!

Before reaching Law Integration, an Essence Cultivator must exert continuous control and focus on their spells and energy. Without a cultivatorʼs focus, a spell would just be a pile of scattered energy with flawed precision and even lower power.

Nevertheless, after reaching Law Integration, things change. An Essence Cultivatorʼs Essence Wave would gain spirituality, being able to perceive the intent and instincts of the caster, allowing it to obtain countless variations and attack on its own if needed.

That was why when Urienʼs Serpent Gale spell shattered, it was easy for the woman to transform the scattered energy into smaller variations that carried on with the attack.

Even if the woman had a tailored Lineage and focused only on the Law of Wind and nothing else to achieve Law Integration before becoming a Divine Ascension Master, her talent and potential were extraordinary. Urien definitely had a chance to reach the realm of Titans!

Cainʼs mind went through all these thoughts, but he could not allow himself to lose focus as he had to handle the four Lesser Serpent Gales coming from different directions. Using the energy redirection abilities of The Flow could work on only one of those strikes, leaving the other three to handle.

ʼUsing Slaughter to destroy one of them, then redirecting another with my left arm to counter a third one, and relying on the Void Blood Shield to defend against the last one.ʼ y Virtual Library Empire

Having decided on a path, Cain channeled his energy into Slaughter, waving it to the side and generating a rift in space that blasted one wind snake to pieces. He then used his left arm to redirect another of the snakes, making it clash with one coming from the right.

”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!”

Two explosions echoed inside the blood domain as two wind snakes crashed into each other before the last one blasted upon making contact with the Void Blood Shield.

Powerful green gales covered Cainʼs figure, but it did not last long as he flashed up. There was no damage on the surface of his body, but blood leaking from the corner of his mouth indicated that the blast had wounded him internally.

Urien was surprised to see only a trail of blood in Cainʼs mouth. Her attack had no killing intent but was still very powerful, yet its damage to the young man seemed minimal.

The truth was that the explosion did even less damage than what the Deus Behemoth expected. The blast did make Cainʼs body tremble. Still, it was not enough to generate internal bleeding, and he had bitten his tongue to give the idea he suffered significant damage.

Before Urien could even figure out the key behind Cainʼs endurance, her eyes narrowed as she saw the young man raise his blade. Soon, the full power of the domain began to concentrate in Slaughter, generating a maelstrom of blood and destructive spatial energy.

”Bloodspace Vortex!”

Cain shouted once all the power of the blood domain gathered above him, and then he sent the massive maelstrom crashing toward Urien.

The Deus Behemoth woman did not hesitate before taking three feathers and making her energy explode, generating the phantom of a massive winged, feathered snake. She infused it into her arrows and sent the spells forward.

A tornado in the form of a winged snake clashed head-on with the Bloodspace vortex, generating waves of blood energy, wind force, and spatial force in all directions, making the sky above them form a massive storm.

”Snap!”

Before the two spells could destroy each other, a snap was heard, and a stream of sunlight energy flashed into the sky, neutralizing both spells and calming the sky.

Lord Kabuto was the one who defused the attack of the duo as things were escalating too much, and he had to stop it.

Cainʼs breathing was rough, and an uncomfortable expression appeared on his face as he had drained every iota of his Essence Wave and Blood Energy in that last attack. Although his body was well, his essence meridians were sore due to the tremendous stress they found themselves under during the continuous fight.

Urien was fine since her cultivation base and power were greater, and four tribulations had already refined her energy pool. Still, she was impressed to see the extent of destructive power the Godslayer Human unleashed with a low cultivation base.

”You are truly a terrific genius. It was a pleasure to test my skills against yours.”

The Deus Behemoth clasped her hands and performed a slight bow. Cain stared at the woman and, after taking a deep breath, he also did the same. They both descended to the ground, with the Godslayer Human returning to his throne to finish the crowning.

There was no need for more combat as Cain had already proved a battle power that only the older generation could overcome, and there was no one so shameless as to try to fight the young man who was hundreds of years younger than them.

Lord Kabuto nodded as he saw that everything was in order, and his eyes once again flooded the sky and earth as he connected his mind with the Sun Tree.

”As the Sun Avatar, my Foster Son, Cain Laurifer, gains the right to call himself the favored child of the Sun Tree and inherits its power.”

Shortly after Lord Kabuto uttered those words, the Sun Tree began to glow. Hundreds of small branches emerged from its trunk as they coalesced around Cainʼs figure.

Cain saw how the branches fused into his skin, but he did not resist as his body rose into the sky, and ten minutes later, golden wood armor covered his figure. Sun Avatar was not just a simple title; it came with several benefits, but the most important was the Quasi-Divine Armor.

It was an incredibly resilient armor that Cain could use even after becoming a Divine Ascension Master. It worked with Essence Wave and Astral Wave. Of course, once the second type flowed through the armor, the defensive might of this one would improve fivefold.

Cain clenched his fists and could feel that even with his Platinum Heart, this armor would provide immense defensive power to his body. That was not all since the Sun Armor also constantly swallowed the Life Wave from the surroundings and transformed it into sunlight energy that he could use for his spells and attacks.

ʼWith this, my defensive power should not fall beneath the Peak Apotheosis Realm. And once I can deploy Astral Blood Ability, I should have a body that is not any weaker than a Quasi Adamantium Artifact.ʼ

A body almost as strong as the armor that Divine Ascension Masters use to protect their bodies. The idea that a Wave King could achieve such a feat was incredible, yet Cain was already on the path to achieving it.

”We salute the Sun Avatar!”
