Law Power

Biodata

Power Progression

The documented progression below follows Jiang Liu’s cultivation of Law Power, rather than a separate advancement by Law Power itself.

Nature and Cultivation

• From Rule to Law: Power of Rule follows existing worldly rules. Law Power can develop from Power of Rule together with a cultivator’s techniques and understanding; even a newly devised Law Power remains within the scope of the Nine Great Laws 2017 2021.
• Nine Great Laws and branches: The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue explains that the world’s other Law Powers are branches of the Nine Great Laws. In its account of God Lord positions, transforming one’s Law Power into one of those great Laws is necessary to seize a position, with the Chaos God and Rule God Lord identified as exceptions 2017.
• Threshold for God Lord cultivation: A cultivator must sense and initially control Law Power to enter the God Lord First Stage. Skillful use and initial integration with the divine body characterize the Second Stage 2022.
• Physical and mental requirements: Jiang Liu identifies three requirements for his breakthrough: transforming Power of Rule, possessing a body that can bear Law Power, and having sufficient mental power to control it 2245.
• Comprehension and application: Law Powers counter and complement one another, but their effectiveness also depends on how deeply their users understand and apply them. Even mastery of Karma Laws does not guarantee the ability to calculate the actions of an equal-realm opponent 2418.
• Innate and cultivated power: Human cultivators develop Law Power through comprehension, whereas the Law Power of the Void Creatures Jiang Liu encounters is an innate source power that they do not deliberately cultivate. This helps explain the greater might of the human God Lords’ Law attacks in those encounters 2242.
• Complete Law Power and Unity: Complete Law Power is a prerequisite for reaching the Unity Realm. The Other Shore Flower also allows cultivators to sense opposing Law Powers returning to unity and identify what their incomplete Law Power lacks 2437 2440.
• Spirit-body unity: Possessing sufficient Law Power alone does not guarantee a Unity Realm breakthrough. Jiang Liu overcomes his own obstacle by recognizing the need to unify spirit and body and incorporating consciousness into his Law Power during refinement 2647.
• Cultivation-path commitment: A Main God’s technique carries its Law imprint. Jiang Liu concludes that, once branded by a Law at the True God Realm, changing cultivation systems becomes essentially impossible 2962.
• Source Power: Law Source Power is significant to advancement beyond the Unity Realm. The Chaos Sutra can develop Chaos Law Power toward Chaos Law Source Power, but doing so requires a body capable of bearing its pressure 2806 2807 3023.
• Source Power and godheads: Refining Law Source Power can raise a cultivator’s combat strength toward the Lord God level. Without a Main God Godhead, however, this does not necessarily constitute a true realm breakthrough, even though the cultivator may greatly surpass ordinary Unity Realm True Lords 3023.
• Bloodline inheritance: Law Source Power can be inherited rather than absorbed from an external source. Xu Wu’s Divine Body bloodline innately carries a trace of Void Law Source Power, which grows through cultivation; his closer resemblance to the Voidfolk’s distant ancestor gives him more of it than his fellows 3023.
• Technique-dependent strength: While testing the Simplified Chaos Void Sutra, Jiang Liu successfully transforms Power of Rule into Law Power along its circulation route. He finds that the full sutra produces stronger power despite reducing the cultivator’s reserves through its hidden measures 2972.

Properties and Applications

Law Types

• Chaos Law can encompass other Law Powers. Jiang Liu uses that advantage against God Lords whose attacks incorporate more than one Law Power 2294.
• Chaos Void Laws can refine other Law Power for their wielder’s use, potentially strengthening that wielder during combat. Refinement still requires surviving the incoming Law’s force 2890.
• Chaos and Void source paths: Cultivating either Chaos Law Source Power or Void Law Source Power can support a Lord God breakthrough. Mastering both produces the Chaos Void Lord God, described as the strongest in combat among the Seven Great Lord Gods 2811.
• Void Laws permeate the void but are nevertheless described as the most difficult Law Power to cultivate successfully. Their applications include defensive screens, spatial folding, and shattering the void 2279 2799 3080.
• Destruction Law and Life Law are distinct powers. When Life Law grows within Chi Di, it consumes his primary Destruction Law and threatens the foundation of his strength 2743.
• Life Law’s environmental effects: Life Law can bring vitality and benefit a suitable region, but its eruption is dangerous within the Destruction-saturated Other Shore Sea of Blood. It also strips away the Destruction Law sustaining the sea’s Grievance Souls, threatening their annihilation 2743 2744.
• Complete Law of Life and Death combines powers that can be separately recognized by cultivators. Its appearance near Sky Domain City attracts True Lords seeking complete Law Power and a route toward further breakthroughs 2433 2435 2437.
• Death Law can silently drain vitality and annihilate both body and spirit. The Death God Lord channels it through the Scepter of Death, whose might increases after killing Void Creatures 2279.
• Spacetime Law Source Power can accelerate decay. Yao Ben’s attack causes everything along its path to lose its luster and turn into dust, with stronger source power making the effect more rapid 2852.
• Heavenly Mandate Karma Laws are particularly suited to concealed schemes and opportunistic attacks. Zou Yan’s hidden presence forces opponents to divide their attention while fighting other Main Gods 2940.
• Sunlight and Starlight Law Powers are used by Chi Yang and Chi Xing against the evil spirits of the Other Shore Sea of Blood. Chi Yang converts his existing Law Power into Sunlight Law Power, while Chi Xing forms starlight arrowheads 2727.
• Violent Law Power infiltrates Ying Hong, Tang Huo, and other Unity Realm experts in the Light Domain without their noticing. The Spirit-Awakening Drum purges it before it causes major consequences 3055.
• Disordered Law Power: Dun suffers from an unidentified Law Power that returns after being worn away or removed, becoming stronger with each recurrence. He suspects that it originates outside their void, but its origin remains unconfirmed 2971.

Combat and Defense

• Law Power can act without a technique: After Jiang Liu’s Chaos Law Power begins approaching Source Power, nearby void matter shows signs of turning to dust during cultivation alone 2806.
• It can protect its cultivator autonomously: When Jiang Liu cannot mobilize his Law Power during a divine tribulation, the power within him continues protecting him 2899.
• Its supply matters: Prolonged attacks drain Law Power. Trapped True Lords struggle when they cannot replenish it, while Jiang Liu can recover some of his spent Chaos Law Power by killing Fiends in the Other Shore Sea of Blood 2511 2726.
• Superiority over Power of Rule is not absolute: Law Power is more destructive than the Power of Rule from which it evolves, but opposing attributes and exceptional control can allow Power of Rule to resist or suppress it. Jiang Liu’s precisely wielded Time-Space Rule breaks through the Void God Lord’s sealing power 1814 1815.
• Source Power suppresses ordinary Law Power: A Main God wielding the corresponding Source Power is reputed to be able to control a subordinate cultivator’s Law Power with a glance. Sufficiently concentrated source power can also suppress Laws outside its own sequence, as Jiang Shuo’s Death Law Source Power slows the Law circulation of his opponents 2765 2781.
• External support affects endurance: Battles can consume both the combatants’ own Law Power and borrowed external power. Chi Tian and Tu Dang’s confrontation depends on the strength of their internal Laws and how much outside assistance they can draw upon 2753.
• Law Power can form weapons and constructs: Cultivators condense Law Power into axes, nets, and other offensive forms. At high cultivation levels, such weapons can approach divine artifacts in effectiveness, although their disadvantages become apparent against genuine divine artifacts 2805 2808 2812.
• Artifacts can amplify or disrupt Law Power: The Chaos Divine Axe’s Chaos Law radiance is crucial to its Transcendent Divine Artifact-level attack power. Conversely, Ji Tuo’s gray Chaos Token nearly halts the circulation of Jiang Liu’s Law Power 2179 2854.
• Invading Laws can damage internal circulation: Tianming Law ravages Jiang Liu’s body and drives out his Chaotic Power of Rule before his God Lord breakthrough. Later, an unidentified Law attacks his meridians and obstructs his Chaos Law Power, demonstrating that internal Law interference can threaten access to a cultivator’s strength 2242 2646.
• Purification and tempering: Chi Yue Starlight can purify Chi Xing’s Law Power. Law Source Power can likewise cleanse and strengthen ordinary Law Power even when its attribute is not directly useful for the recipient’s cultivation path 2550 2859.
• Array applications: Under Chi Chi’s guidance, Jiang Liu channels Chaos Law Power into the Sealing Array to drain Chi You’s Soul Force rather than attack him directly 2605.
• Hidden contingencies: Jiang Liu discovers seven concealed Law Powers left by the Forbidden Main Gods Hun-Dun through the Chaos Void Sutra. They become visible while he examines the Technique Humanoid, offer possible insight into their creators’ strength, and threaten to interfere with his efforts to simplify the sutra 2967.
• Refinement has dangerous exceptions: When Jiang Liu tries to refine an unfamiliar Law Source Power associated with Dao, it explodes and destabilizes the source powers already refined within him. His completed Chaos Void Divine Body prevents the rampaging powers from breaking out through his body 2930.
• Combined attacks can dissolve Law Power: Jiang Liu’s Chaos Void Millstone damages the soul sustaining Shenkong’s avatar, while Dao, Tribulation, and Dun join his assault and combine their powers to dissolve Shenkong’s Law Power before the avatar shatters 3161.

Environmental Limits

• The True World’s previously incomplete Law Power hindered advancement, especially from the Spirit Transformation Realm to the Unity Realm. After the True Realm’s restoration, newly advancing cultivators possess complete Law Power 2701 2794 2806.
• True World Power erodes ordinary Law Power near the passage to the True World. Jiang Liu’s Chaos Law Power resists it, allowing him to remain there and refine that power for cultivation 2387.
• Hostile environments can prevent replenishment: The four Annihilation Devil Race generals cannot replenish their Law Power while fighting Jiang Liu in the void, whereas he can use Law Power rising from the Eternal Domain 2911.
• The Other Shore Sea of Blood preserves complete Laws: Its bloody aura conceals multiple kinds of complete Law Power, not only the Law of Life and Death. Cultivators seeking Unity Realm breakthroughs therefore treat access to the sea and its Other Shore Flower as major opportunities 2437 2521 2757.
• The Other Shore Flower supports Law evolution: According to the account of the sea’s origin, the True Realm once possessed complete rules and Laws before prolonged warfare damaged it. The Other Shore Flowers born from the sea are suitable for the evolution of all Law Power, but take ten thousand years to condense 2472.
• Local Law quality varies: The Chaos Law Power of the Chaos True World is denser and contains a trace of spirituality absent from the Chaos Space’s power. Jiang Liu’s optimized cultivation technique allows him to harmonize particularly well with it 2451.
• Law-bearing resources can contain Source Power: Shattered Chaos Starstones release Void Storms containing Chaos Void Law Source Power. These scarce resources offer Jiang Liu, the Chaos True Lord, and the Chaos True God a potential breakthrough opportunity 2817.
• Regional power can become unbalanced: The Chaos True Lord’s prolonged refinement of True World Power nearly assimilates him and disrupts the balance of his Chaos Law Power. He seeks the Other Shore Flower to separate those powers and enable further advancement 2440 2489.
• Domains can influence cultivation: The Light Domain gradually tends toward a single Law type under the influence of Light Laws, whereas the Ying Clan Realm retains multiple Law Powers. Not every Ying Clan cultivator practices Light Laws, despite their prominence after Ying Chong inherits the Light Lord God’s throne 2991.
• Main God battles can devastate space: Law Power aftershocks create black holes, and independent domain spaces used for Main God battles are shattered beyond recovery. Disorderly Law Power generated during Jiang Liu’s battle with the Annihilation Devil Race is dangerous enough that ordinary Unity Realm cultivators could scarcely maintain their footing nearby 2911 2941.
