Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor was truly unlucky. Both times he'd made a move, he'd failed at the last moment. Not only had he achieved nothing, he'd instead lost some of his own fortune. There would likely be another twist in his cultivation.
That was why Heavenly Emperor Mingluo's tone was so forceful. If the battle continued as things stood, the only outcome was that the Puppet Emperor would successfully advance, his might would surge, and he would drive them back.
That would mean admitting their strength fell short of their opponent's. But until now, the other side hadn't been capable of defeating them. Retreating would damage the dignity of a Heavenly Emperor.
The Netherworld Law Realm had flaws, but its power still had room to grow. As for whether Lu Xiaotian could spot them and seize that fleeting opportunity, that would depend on his ability.
Heavenly Emperor Mingluo was confident in his preparations. Even if his opponent found a flaw, he could still deal with it calmly.
"What a fine snow of dark flames." Watching the ink-black snow fall, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help praising it.
Using the power of laws to create a space of one's own was one way of wielding the laws. A Law Realm, by contrast, used laws as its framework to create a world of its own. Such a world could expand without limit. It still fell far short of a true plane, but the two were worlds apart in ambition.
Normally, only after condensing a Dao Seed, building a sufficient foundation in the cultivation of laws, refining those laws to a high enough level, and comprehending this state of mind through the power of one's spells could one cultivate a true Law Realm.
Cultivating a Dao Seed and glimpsing the Great Dao provided the foundation.
