Nature
Law is the underlying principle by which phenomena and abilities function. It is not limited to physical matter: objects, space, time, causality, skills, and existence itself may possess or operate through Laws. 170 473
At higher stages of power, Professionals cease merely using Laws and begin embodying them. God-tier beings cultivate a Law to its limit, merge with it, and become living Laws capable of making their words manifest as reality. 241
| Form / Level | Description | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Law | The foundational rules behind objects and phenomena; can be forcibly altered by sufficiently high authority. | 170 216 |
| Divine Law | A Law refined to a divine level; its compatibility can strengthen related talents and abilities. | 269 |
| Authority | Power above Divine Law; capable of effortlessly neutralizing techniques based on lesser Law control. | 278 |
| Chaos | A primordial substance more fundamental than Laws and rules, described as existing before the “bricks and tiles” of the universe. | 402 |
Divine Law
Embodiment
A deity’s existence is united with its cultivated Law. This allows God-tier beings to invoke vast power through their own nature rather than relying solely on skills, equipment, or attributes. 241
Divinity determines how forcefully one can override Laws. Sufficient Divinity can ignore defenses and Laws altogether to inflict True Damage. 181
Divine Spark
A Divine Spark is created by compressing a being’s Divine Kingdom, Laws, and will into a microscopic core. It allows its holder to transcend dimensional restrictions and become an embodiment of universal rules. 334
Known Divine Laws and Rules
| Law / Rule | User or Source | Documented effect |
|---|---|---|
| Reproduction Divine Law | Imperfect Divine Rule | Resonated with Yang Yu’s Split and Reorganize talent, recognizing splitting as a primitive form of reproduction and enhancing the talent. 269 |
| Sword Dao Divine Rule — Sharpness | Yang Yu | Grants Yang Yu’s sword attacks the trait “Cuts Through Everything.” 295 |
| Dark Law | Asmodeus | Corruptive Law carried within black sword-shaped toxins and Divine Blood remnants. 241 |
| Golden Law | Primal Sword Master | A protective and immortal Law that clashed with and ultimately helped refine Asmodeus’s Dark Law. 241 |
| Causality Law | Debt Collector | Can define a debtor’s body, consciousness, backups, soul, and wealth as collateral. 331 |
Yang Yu’s Interaction with Law
Law Manipulation
Yang Yu’s All Things Are Swords can alter the underlying Law of objects, converting weapons, armor, and metal into swords under his control. It can even cause an opponent’s own equipment to turn against them. 216
Inside the Capture Node, Yang Yu combined Primal Sword Domain, Uninterrupted Chapter, and All Things Are Swords to convert incoming law-based energy beams into Sword Qi, then used them to break a cage constructed from seventeen Cosmic Laws. 251
Body of Rules
The effect Myriad Calamities Unscathed began transforming Yang Yu’s body into a non-material Body of Rules. While Immovable Wisdom King Body is active, this grants him extreme resistance to law-level attacks. 241
Yang Yu used the transformation to refine Asmodeus’s corrupt Dark Law rather than suppress it, converting fragments of hostile divine power into increases in Divinity and Spirit. 241
Divine Rings
After reaching the Level 200 cap without receiving a path to godhood, Yang Yu used accelerated time, accumulated experience, Divinity, and repeated skill practice to forge seven Divine Rings representing seven complete Divine Laws. 327
Although he lacked a Divine Spark and formal godhood, the resulting aura surpassed that of many True Gods. 327
Abyss Authority
As Dominator of the Abyss, Yang Yu can rewrite rules through the Abyss System. He reconstructed its underlying logic to remove attribute caps, alter Skill Proficiency mechanics, and add self-created evolution rules. 411
Within the Abyss, his authority can override stronger cultivators’ techniques. He nullified Huang Yan’s Path-Severing power, made “standing” illegal, and locked Huang Yan’s energy output through the Abyss System. 473
“In the Abyss, I am the rules.” — Yang Yu 473
Law Replication
Yang Yu can copy rather than steal the Law insights cultivated by Abyss inhabitants. The Abyss treats the Laws of its trillions of residents as a reusable library of resources, including sword, blade, flame, frost, and more unusual Laws. 547
Limitations and Counters
- Divinity suppression — A sufficiently large Divinity gap can ignore or crush mortal Law-based techniques. 181
- Higher Authority — Authority is explicitly treated as a power above Divine Law. 278
- Chaos — Chaos is neither energy nor Law; its primordial nature can destabilize systems founded on Laws and rules. 402
- Superior Law control — Law-based constructs are vulnerable when an opponent can seize, transform, or redirect the Laws sustaining them. 216 251
