It was only when the Wood Law had nearly filled his entire Sea of Consciousness that Styx finally noticed.
"Is it the Nether Bone Bamboo?"
Styx discovered with surprise that the Nether Bone Bamboo he had obtained from Rahula actually contained a sliver of the Wood Law's origin.
The Wood Law—endless vitality!
Though only a trace, it possessed an extremely powerful restorative force.
Styx had never paid much attention to the Nether Bone Bamboo before.
Even though it was the first spiritual root he had acquired and ranked as High-Grade.
But with a pile of Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures still unrefined in his hands, he naturally had no time to focus on this single High-Grade Acquired Spiritual Root.
What surprised him even more was that the Nether Bone Bamboo contained two Laws within it.
One was the Nether Law, and the other was the Wood Law.
Nether was primary, Wood secondary.
Soon, with the help of the Nether Bone Bamboo, Styx quickly recovered his state.
The Law Envoy had been patiently waiting by the side until Styx was fully restored.
The longsword in Styx's hand blazed with overwhelming momentum, showing no fear of the opposing spear.
"Come, fight again!"
The Law Envoy's eyes lit up, and he raised his spear to launch an attack.
Under the influence of the War Law, the Law Envoy was no longer as cold and detached as before; instead, he carried a hint of boldness and battle lust.
Seeing Styx take the initiative to challenge him, he couldn't wait a single moment.
"Daoist friend, my control over water and fire naturally cannot compare to yours when you wielded the Water and Fire Laws just now, but try this move of mine!"
Styx offered up both swords at once, while the Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Profound Origin Water Control Flag simultaneously spat out the water and fire power they had absorbed, coiling it around the twin blades!
This was almost a perfect replication of what the Law Envoy had done moments ago!
But the Law Envoy did not dare to take it lightly.
On the surface, it indeed looked very similar to his own previous move.
But one must not forget—his move was merely a Law Sword conjured by a Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak using the Laws.
Without Law enhancement, it could be described as frail and weak.
Styx, however, was using two extremely powerful killing spiritual treasures as his foundation, supplemented by water and fire power—its ferocity was in no way inferior.
Yet the pride of the War Law would not allow the Law Envoy to dodge!
He clearly saw the twin swords tearing through the void and had the chance to evade, but he charged straight into them instead!
"Bold!"
The Law Envoy bellowed, his hands gathering boundless might as he tried to seize the two spiritual treasures.
But in an instant, the two treasures transformed into two long dragons—one of water, one of fire—that followed the direction of the Law Envoy's attack and coiled around his body.
Then they exploded directly!
The Law Envoy crashed to the ground!
Water and fire converged, stirring up endless vapor in the void, blurring the Law Envoy's vision.
But Styx, relying on his soul connection with the Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords, pinpointed the Law Envoy's location.
He flickered and, riding the Karma Fire Red Lotus, appeared before the Law Envoy.
Before the Law Envoy could recover from the explosion of the two swords, he took another direct hit from Styx.
His body was instantly covered in wounds.
To be honest, when Styx and the Law Envoy were at the same cultivation level, who would win largely depended on who had more tricks and who seized the initiative!
Styx was no fool.
The Law Envoy, bearing the War Law, would never admit defeat easily.
Moreover, with the War Law, the Law Envoy would only grow fiercer as the battle wore on.
So now, he had to seize the opportunity and strike hard enough to leave the Law Envoy with no chance to recover!
Styx launched another attack, this time going straight for close-quarters combat with his physical body!
If he couldn't even overpower an already injured opponent with raw strength, Styx felt he might as well go back to the Blood Sea and roast sweet potatoes!
Even if that opponent was a Law Envoy!
After Styx's relentless barrage, the Law Envoy was already heavily wounded.
Now, seeing Styx abandon other methods and choose to fight with his physical body, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
So he met him head-on with his own flesh.
But what the Law Envoy had imagined was completely wrong—Styx's physical body was actually no weaker than his own!
In fact, after a period of stalemate, Styx's physical strength only increased instead of decreasing!
Seeing the smile spreading across Styx's face, the Law Envoy finally realized he had miscalculated.
Since Styx dared to clash physically with him head-on, he must have absolute confidence in his own body.
Needless to say, Styx had tempered his flesh relentlessly with the essence blood within the Blood Sea.
His physical strength was undoubtedly among the top-tier powerhouses of the Primordial Wilderness.
Thus, sensing that defeat was inevitable, the Law Envoy took the initiative to use the War Law to undo the seal of the second formation.
For the third law, the Law Envoy brought out the Creation Law.
The Creation Law, like the Wood Law, had the ability to heal and restore.
But among the three thousand laws, the Creation Law was absolutely a superior law that stood above the Wood Law.
So now, compared to the Law Envoy, Styx was once again at a disadvantage!
Originally, both of their strengths were on the same starting line, but with the Creation Law, the Law Envoy could repeatedly snatch victory from the jaws of death and recover from injuries.
Although Styx could achieve a similar effect through the Nether Bone Bamboo, after all, the Nether Bone Bamboo was no match for the Creation Law.
After several exchanges, the light of the Nether Bone Bamboo had dimmed considerably.
It was clearly no longer able to sustain Styx's recovery many more times.
Fortunately, at a critical moment, Styx thought of a trick.
He activated the Blood God Incarnation Great Method, turning the Nether Bone Bamboo into his own Blood God Incarnation clone.
In this way, the Nether Bone Bamboo transformed into a living being.
Although it only took the form of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, it was a natural-born healer.
After all, as a living entity, the Nether Bone Bamboo was far stronger than when it had been a mere dead object.
Compared to the Creation power that the Law Envoy, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, could mobilize, it was not inferior at all—in fact, it was even stronger.
Styx named the new Blood God Incarnation clone Mingzhu.
With Mingzhu's help, the Law Envoy was defeated by Styx for the third time.
The fourth law was the Slaughter Law, the one most suited to him on the Law Tree.
The opposing Law Envoy transformed into a god of slaughter.
Styx showed no fear.
He was born from the Blood Sea!
He had an innate, profound comprehension of the Slaughter Law, even if he hadn't chosen it as his path to enlightenment before.
But that didn't mean he wouldn't cultivate the Slaughter Law in the future.
So this time, Styx wasn't in a hurry to defeat the Law Envoy.
Instead, he continuously comprehended and explored the Slaughter Law during the battle.
Only when he felt he had gained enough understanding of the Slaughter Law did he seize a flaw in the Law Envoy's technique and finally defeat him.
The fifth law was the Time Law.
The sixth law was the Space Law.
The seventh...
The eighth...
The ninth...
Styx grew stronger with each battle.
He even wondered if he had been possessed by the War Law itself.
Soon, he overcame the remaining laws.
Of course, this process was inseparable from Mingzhu's support.
By the time Styx had completely defeated the Law Envoy, Mingzhu was exhausted and flew directly into Styx's Sea of Consciousness to recover.
"Finally got it!"
The Ninefold Formation was dispelled, and Styx finally obtained the two Law Leaves at the center of the formation.
Styx's joy was written all over his face.
"Thank you..."
Having obtained the Law Leaves, Styx turned around to thank the dutiful Law Envoy.
But before the words could leave his mouth, the environment around Styx shifted again.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already reappeared in the Purple Cloud Palace.
"This session of preaching ends here!"
Hongjun's voice rang clearly from the high platform into Styx's ears.
The first lecture was already over?
