491. Lin Fei's Revelation - The Suppression of World Laws

In the grand city of Daming, Lin Fei embarked on a meticulous quest to gather intelligence about the enigmatic Martial God Mi Tian. He spared no effort in his pursuit, leaving no stone unturned.

Gradually, amidst the plethora of information, Lin Fei cultivated a clear and direct understanding of Mi Tian. He was known as the Martial God of Heart Demon, who had weathered six thunder tribulations.

Although in each tribulation they withstood a single heavenly thunderbolt, it was akin to mastering a singular law. Hence, six thunderbolts symbolized six distinct laws. In terms of the sheer number of laws, he possessed fewer than Lin Fei, who had mastered seven.

However, the laws of Mi Tian were extraordinary, rooted in the art of illusion. His profound mastery in illusion techniques especially in delving into the souls of Martial Gods and Deity Transformation adepts was nothing short of miraculous. Once deployed the illusions, he could effortlessly pinpoint the vulnerabilities within an opponent's soul, ensnaring enemies in an inescapable web of inner demons. His ability to defeat opponents without physical confrontation was nearly unparalleled.

Amongst those who had challenged them were some of the most steadfast souls in Deity Transformation and Martial Gods. Many, skeptical of the potency of the Heart Demon Martial God's illusions, found themselves defeated regardless.

One such challenger, a paramount Martial God who had survived eight thunder tribulations and mastered more than ten laws, ranked among the elite. Yet, upon facing the Heart Demon Martial God, even this formidable being succumbed to defeat and spent a lifetime trapped within their own mental flaws. In a desperate attempt, he braved the ninth thunder tribulation but only to perish beneath its wrath.

This victory cemented the renown of the Heart Demon Martial God.

Thus, the Heart Demon Martial God stood distinct from their peers. Eschewing the cultivation of the physical body, they delved deep into the study of illusion arts, even capable of invoking inner demons. Such a technique was indeed profoundly mystical.

Whether it be Deity Transformation or Martial Gods, their greatest fear lay in confronting their inner demons, their soul's vulnerabilities. Did Lin Fei possess such weaknesses?

Undoubtedly, it was an inarguable truth, applicable not just to Lin Fei but even to a True Monarch – all harbored flaws within their souls. Against the Heart Demon Martial God, they were inherently at a disadvantage.

"Inner demons and illusions are indeed troublesome adversaries..." mused Lin Fei, lost in thought. Yet, was surrender an option? That was not his way.

"Then, is there a way to counteract the illusions of the Heart Demon Martial God?" Lin Fei pondered. "His illusions are rooted within his laws."

"Thus, the approach must be through the laws themselves. If one can suppress the Law of Illusion," he continued, "then the Heart Demon Martial God's illusions would be rendered ineffective, or at least, their impact on Martial Gods would be negligible. Without their illusions, the Heart Demon Martial God's strength is hardly worth mentioning."

A spark of realization lit up in Lin Fei's eyes. This was indeed a viable strategy, completely neutralizing the Heart Demon Martial God's advantage – their mastery of illusion.

However, suppressing or completely countering an opponent's laws was no easy feat. Up to this point, few had delved into the study of the suppression between different laws. It seemed there was no clear counteraction between them.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Water may counter fire, but when the Law of Fire is sufficiently powerful, it can overpower the Law of Water. Hence, there is no absolute counteraction, only the question of whether one's own comprehended laws are strong enough.

"Wait, the Law of the World encompasses and contains everything. Theoretically, it should be able to suppress everything!" Lin Fei's eyes brightened with this insight. "Could it suppress the Law of Illusion?"

Evaluating the strength of Martial Gods based solely on the number of thunder tribulations they've survived is misleading; it doesn't necessarily indicate their true realm. It's merely a count of the tribulations they've passed.

The true measure of one's realm is the number of laws they've mastered. The more laws, the higher the realm. In terms of the realm, Lin Fei had already mastered seven World Laws, while the Heart Demon Martial God had only captured six Laws of Illusion – fewer than Lin Fei. If he could suppress them, then the Heart Demon Martial God's illusions would become ineffective.

However, Lin Fei had yet to test this theory. He had only ever fought with one Martial God, Du Yuan, whose laws were of Strength, directly affecting the physical body and not susceptible to suppression.

"Therefore, I need to find a Martial God whose laws are used against enemies," Lin Fei contemplated. The Law of Illusion of the Heart Demon Martial God was indeed used against enemies, as were Lin Fei's World Laws, capable of sealing and suppressing foes. Similarly, some Laws of Flame and others were also employed against enemies.

This task proved to be relatively straightforward. Utilizing the resources of the Great Dream Sect, Lin Fei located a Martial God who had cultivated the Law of Fire and had also mastered seven laws. The two agreed to a simple contest of laws, refraining from using their physical strength.

To everyone's astonishment, when Lin Fei's World Law collided with the other's Law of Fire, something incredible happened. Lin Fei's World Law completely suppressed and sealed the opponent's Law of Fire, rendering it utterly non-threatening to Lin Fei's World Law.

This outcome shocked the Martial God of the Fire Law, as he had never witnessed such a phenomenon before. No law had ever been seen to completely "counter" the law of another Martial God, until now.

Not only was the Flame Law Martial God internally shaken, but Lin Fei himself was equally astounded. He knew his World Law was exceptional; after all, he had chosen it through great effort and ambition.

However, he hadn't anticipated its formidable ability to suppress and counter other laws. This meant that Lin Fei naturally held an advantage over other Martial Gods.

Previously, Lin Fei was unaware of the sheer power of his World Law in suppressing the laws of other Martial Gods. It was only now that he truly understood its strength, filling him with exhilaration.

"It seems that my World Law can indeed suppress the laws of other Martial Gods," he mused. "The Heart Demon Martial God's Law of Illusion, which ensnares others in illusions, is exactly the kind of law my World Law can completely seal. Thus, in a sense, the Heart Demon Martial God might actually be the easiest opponent for me to deal with."

Lin Fei's eyes gleamed with determination. If his theory held true, he could confront the Heart Demon Martial God. Overcoming them would mean gaining control over the numerous Saber Worlds he had dominated.

Additionally, the Heart Demon Martial God, known for their arrogance and lack of powerful backers, wouldn't pose a problem for Lin Fei once defeated. This would relieve him of any subsequent troubles. Of course, this was all predicated on Lin Fei's conjectures being correct. Should his assumptions fail, the risk would be significant.

However, Lin Fei remained undaunted. Although his spirit had its flaws, he was confident that even if he fell victim to Mi Tian, it would not shake his Dao heart. At worst, he might temporarily be no match for the Heart Demon Martial God, and escape would still be a viable option.

With this in mind, Lin Fei ceased to hesitate. "Let's seek out the Heart Demon Martial God!" he resolved. "After all, this is currently the only way to gain possession of Saber Worlds. Once I acquire more than two Saber Worlds, I can even attempt to endure the third thunder tribulation. Surviving three tribulations, given the number of laws I control, would qualify me to vie for minor worlds. Then, I won't have to wait idly for clues about Saber Worlds as I do now."

After making his preparations, Lin Fei left the Ancient City quietly, heading towards the territory of the Heart Demon Martial God.
