Chapter 403 - 66: Now This Is Satisfying

Shen Fei remembered Luo Ran saying that the biggest difference between Tier Ten and Tier Nine is the Law, and unless you reach Tier Ten, you almost can’t resist.

Also, under Tier Ten, you cannot slay Tier Ten, because of this Law.

Unexpectedly, this deity of the Cold Abyss could still drop this item, but unfortunately, it requires a Half-Mythical Profession to use.

Suddenly, he thought of the Empress’s [Immortal Celestial Scripture], which previously allowed her to bypass restrictions and directly swallow the Mythical Origin.

He wondered whether this Source of the Freezing Law could also be consumed; if it can be swallowed, he will have a method to deal with Tier Ten afterward.

Otherwise,

even if you can slay Tier Ten, it would only destroy their shape, severely injure them but not completely eradicate them.

"Can you swallow this thing?"

Shen Fei finally looked at the Empress, and after the Empress received it, she felt it for a moment, "You can try."

"Then try it."

Logically, it should be possible. Previously, the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable wanted to swallow the ’Sword of Killing.’

It’s unlikely the Empress can’t swallow this Source of the Law.

This light orb-like ’Source of the Law’ was directly stuffed into the Empress’s mouth.

Moments later.

A prompt appeared on Shen Fei’s info panel.

[Immortal Celestial Scripture—The Empress has swallowed the ’Source of the Freezing Law,’ mastering the ’Freezing’ Law, can unconditionally master any Ice Element skill]

[Freezing (Mythical): Nothing can escape the fate of freezing. ’Freezing’ can be added to any attack, and the subsequent attacks will carry ’Freezing,’ any object can be covered by it.]

Shen Fei’s face showed joy; indeed, the growth-type entries are the most formidable, truly mastered by the Empress.

This lets him have the means to deal with Tier Ten.

After the Empress absorbed the ’Source of the Freezing Law,’ she emanated a slightly cold aura, and it seemed that even the icy winds of the Ice Abyss dared not approach here.

For fear of offending the dignity of a Divine Spirit.

"Master, I didn’t disgrace your mission."

The Empress spoke, "This power can at least amplify my combat strength by nearly double, if it’s an Ice Element attack.

It can further amplify by twofold."

"That strong?" Shen Fei was slightly surprised, knowing that with the Empress’s current strength, she could even contend with the deity of the Cold Abyss.

If it’s multiplied again, that would indeed be quite astounding.

"That’s how the Law works, actually, some powers granted by the Master have a bit of the initial power of a Law.

Like Xiaoxian, Cangtian, and Jasper Pool; previously, Cangtian devoured the power of the Drought Fiend and Nest Mother, likely obtaining their initial Laws as well."

The explanation given by the Empress got Shen Fei pondering, considering the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s [Flying Dragon Cloud-Seeking Hand] indeed has some rationale.

There’s also Jasper Pool’s [Time’s Moment].

Not purely skills, rather there’s a sense of ’conceptual’ skill, this is what the Law is."

No wonder it’s so domineering.

Compared to the [Legendary] skills he knows, this entry is much more domineering than ordinary [Legendary] skills.

"So, this Cold Abyss Origin is of no use to you?"

Shen Fei pulled out the last item, this was the Origin of the deity of the Cold Abyss.

Similar to the Nest Mother Origin and Cain Origin before, but this item requires an Ice Element profession to use, without the need for a Half-Mythical profession.

But he doesn’t have an Ice Element Summoned Beast, nor is it necessary to create one just to obtain an Origin.

That would waste his Summoning Position.

"No use."

The Empress shook her head, "After swallowing the Cold Abyss’s Sleep and the Source of the Law, the Ice Element amplification has reached its limit."

"Let’s see if we can exchange it then, find something suitable for the Medicine Ancestor to use."

Shen Fei naturally knows some Ice Element Profession users, but Shen Fei isn’t foolish; he will certainly keep this item for himself.

Su Muyu also can’t use it, let’s see if we can ask Master to exchange some items that the Medicine Ancestor can use.

If worst comes to worst, have the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable swallow it.

"The harvest is quite good."

Even though the harvest from the Cold Abyss deity was mostly absorbed by the Empress, it raised her strength to essentially invincible below Tier Ten.

And even comprehended the Law several levels ahead; Shen Fei looked at the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and said, "Swallow the Sword of Killing first."

Now, with the Empress’s ’Freezing’ Law, dealing with Tier Ten doesn’t require the ’Sword of Killing’ anymore.

Then turning to the Empress, "Look through the Nine Realms’ resources and swallow whatever you can."

"Especially see if you can extract abilities like the Demon Venerable’s special attack against Abyssal Creatures before."

Moments later.

A special entry appeared on the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s panel [If Killed, Will Die (Legendary): Passive Skills; any target below Mythical, when slain by the user, cannot be resurrected in any form, including items, skills, etc.]

"Hmm, that’s decent!"

Shen Fei nodded; now there’s an extra means to prevent resurrection.

Though it’s only effective below Mythical, it wouldn’t make sense for just a ’Law Artifact’ to allow direct resurrection immunity for Tier Ten.

That’s akin to mastering the Law.

"No, there seems to be indeed some Mythical beings below Tier Ten, like those who have obtained a Demigod Profession.

In quality, they might be considered Mythical." Shen Fei suddenly remembered there is indeed a difference.

It’s just that among Abyssal Creatures, there are almost none with [Mythical] below Tier Ten, at least none he has encountered so far, even the Ice Dragon was only [Tier Nine of Legend].

The strength of Abyssal Creatures often correlates with their quality.

But among professionals, there are those who have acquired a Demigod Profession but aren’t yet Tier Ten.

Like Han Min, there’s no guarantee that Abyssal Creatures also don’t possess them.

In future encounters, we must ensure to kill such entities.

After handling this.

Shen Fei reappeared outside, instantly returning to the Ural Defense Line.

Originally assessing losses and gains, Gao Ya saw Shen Fei return and quickly said, "Walker, the harvest from the Abyssal Creatures’ siege has been tallied.

Steve claims they all belong to you."

"Keep them, let our people recover a bit, and prepare to head to Zulu."

"Alright!"

Gao Ya nodded; before Shen Fei turned to leave, he suddenly said, "Dugu Hongchen is dead."

Gao Ya wasn’t surprised, nodding, "The exact matter has already been reported to the commander, and they have commenced an investigation into the Dugu Family."

Moments later.

Shen Fei returned to his room and cautiously asked, "Master, are you here?"

The light spots spread.

"Barring any accidents, I should be here for the next few decades."

Luo Ran’s voice carried some exasperation, and Shen Fei chuckled, "Master, I have something to talk to you about."

"Alright."
