Battle Floating Shadows and Breakthrough

Inside the main hall of the City Lord's residence.

Lynn and Floating Light Demon ate and chatted. Of course, most of the time, Floating Light Demon spoke while Lynn listened.

Although Seven-star Demons could serve as City Lords in Hell, in reality, those who could hold the position for a long time were all powerhouses among Seven-star Demons.

Floating Light Demon had lived for countless years. He had witnessed the Plane War, which occurred once every trillion years, more than ten thousand times. Having lived so long, his emotional intelligence and experience were both exceptional. With him leading the banquet, naturally, host and guest alike enjoyed themselves.

Before they knew it, the moon had reached its zenith, and more than half the meat in the cauldron had disappeared.

Floating Light Demon had been recounting amusing tales from his adventures in Hell. Near the end, his tone abruptly shifted, becoming solemn. "Lynn, I've already had someone investigate what happened at the fighting arena this time. The man you killed accepted a bribe from the Four Divine Beast Families and favored their people. Therefore, it was only natural that he ended up being killed by you."

"Neither the Muya Legion nor I intend to pursue this matter!" Having said that, Floating Light Demon smiled again. "However, Lynn, don't kill anyone in the city from now on. The Main God's order is something no deity, not even I, can defy!"

Lynn nodded. "Don't worry! Floating Light, I'll be careful!"

Floating Light Demon handled matters fairly and had treated him so warmly. Lynn was not someone who failed to appreciate kindness. Besides, he was not some murderous maniac. If the Four Divine Beast Families had not provoked him, he could not be bothered to make a move.

"Then I'm relieved!" Floating Light Demon said with a smile.

"By the way, Lynn, come with me. I'll show you my treasures!" As though he had suddenly remembered something, Floating Light Demon grinned. "It's only because it's you. I wouldn't show them to just anyone!"

"Treasures?" Curiosity appeared on Lynn's face as well, and he followed Floating Light Demon toward the rear courtyard.

Following behind Floating Light Demon, Lynn turned left and right, eventually descending underground.

"There's actually a secret chamber beneath the City Lord's residence? Are the treasures Floating Light Demon mentioned hidden down here? What could they be?" The farther Lynn went, the more curious he became.

Within a hidden, spacious hall beneath the City Lord's residence, several bookshelves stood on either side. Yet the shelves did not hold books, but crystal balls the size of fists.

Lynn and Floating Light Demon stood inside the hall.

"There are 1,357 crystal balls in total, and each one contains a Floating Shadow." Floating Light Demon spoke eloquently. "The Floating Shadows within the crystal balls also contain explanations, detailing the course of the battles, the moves used, and so on."

"These crystal balls record battles involving at least Six-star Demons. Some even contain battle Floating Shadows of Seven-star Demons, Hell Asuras, and Purgatory Commanders!" As he spoke, a trace of pride appeared on Floating Light Demon's face. "Lynn, I have no idea how much effort and wealth it took me to collect all these Floating Shadows!"

"Idiot! I'm such an idiot!" Looking at the dazzling array of crystal balls, Lynn cursed himself inwardly for being foolish. He had gone to the fighting arena to watch battles between ordinary Highgods, yet had completely forgotten that Hell had things like Floating Shadows.

Watching Floating Shadows of Hell's powerhouses in battle would be far more helpful for comprehending the Laws.

Under normal circumstances, Six-star Demons had fused at least three profoundities, Seven-star Demons had fused at least four, and Asuras had fused no fewer than five.

Their moves had surely been created on the foundation of Fusion Profundity.

To others, these Floating Shadows might offer only a little inspiration. But to Lynn, they were an opportunity and a key to comprehending the Fusion Law!

"Floating Light, can I watch these Floating Shadows?" Lynn looked at Floating Light Demon with blazing eyes.

His fervent gaze made Floating Light Demon pause for a moment, but he quickly recovered and laughed. "Of course. Lynn, watch as much as you like!"

"Thank you! Floating Light, I owe you a favor for this!" As he spoke, Lynn eagerly headed toward the bookshelves.

Yet behind Lynn, where he could not see, Floating Light Demon revealed a meaningful smile upon hearing those words. "Owe me a favor..."

"I'll start with battles between Six-star Demons." Lynn approached one of the outermost bookshelves. Each shelf held dozens of crystal balls, with writing left on their surfaces listing the names and origins of both combatants.

A crystal ball containing the Floating Shadow Technique could use divine power to project the Floating Shadow inside into midair, allowing many people to watch at once. But if one was alone, one could send Spiritual Sense into it, making the viewing speed extremely fast.

Lynn immediately extended his Spiritual Sense into a crystal ball and began watching the Floating Shadow stored within.

This left Floating Light Demon speechless. "A dignified Seven-star Demon is watching battle Floating Shadows of Six-star Demons so seriously!"

Most of the Floating Shadows collected by Floating Light Demon were from battles between Six-star Demons. Quite a few of them were experts cultivating the Lightning Law, and many had fused the three profoundities of 'Lightning Element,' 'Flicker,' and 'Power of Judgment.'

If Lynn's comprehension of the Fusion Profundity within his soul had been like reading a book, then watching these battle Floating Shadows of Six-star Demons was like having a teacher demonstrate how to solve problems live. The speed of cultivation and effectiveness of comprehension were utterly incomparable to a dry textbook.

The more he watched, the brighter his eyes became. His progress in fusing the three profoundities advanced at a breathtaking pace.

"Oh? Another battle Floating Shadow of a Lightning Law expert!" Lynn extended his Spiritual Sense into a crystal ball, and his eyes lit up as he carefully watched the Floating Shadow.

Of the two combatants in the Floating Shadow, one cultivated the Lightning Law, while the other cultivated the Path of Destruction.

Both the Lightning Law and the Path of Destruction were renowned for their destructive power, and both were extremely fast.

Lynn only saw the two great experts instantly transform into two afterimages as strange flashes of lightning flickered continuously.

"Rumble~~" It was as though thunder rang beside Lynn's ears.

A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared as if teleporting. There was no time to react before it directly struck the deity cultivating the Path of Destruction. Electricity scattered in all directions as he fell straight from the sky, while only the deity cultivating the Lightning Law remained standing in midair with an expressionless face.

"Very fast. And that strange final attack..." Lynn sank into thought.

The battle between the two ended, but the Floating Shadow did not. Instead, it began explaining the battle. The explanation was extremely detailed. As Lynn listened, the sudden bolt of lightning replayed in his mind while he compared it against the 'complete Lightning Law' within his soul...

As he watched, suddenly—

He smiled. "So this is how 'Flicker' works."

In that brief moment, he had completely comprehended the Fusion Profundity of 'Lightning Element,' 'Power of Judgment,' and 'Flicker.'

After fusing three profoundities, his realm was already comparable to that of an ordinary Six-star Demon. Combined with Soul Power a thousand times stronger than that of an ordinary Highgod, his Soul Attack was ten times more powerful than even an Asura's.

As for Material Attack, relying on his powerful body and the enhancement of Origin Power, it was already comparable to that of a Seven-star Demon.
