Only when the Wood Law in his soul had nearly filled his entire sea of consciousness did Styx finally notice it.

"Is it the Nether Bone Bamboo?"

Styx was astonished to discover that the Nether Bone Bamboo he had obtained from Rahula actually contained a trace of Wood Law origin.

The Wood Law was endlessly regenerative!

Though there was only a trace of it, it possessed an immensely powerful restorative effect.

Styx had never paid much attention to the Nether Bone Bamboo before.

Although it was the first spiritual root he had obtained, and it was High-Grade.

He still had a pile of Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in his hands that he had yet to fully refine, so naturally he had paid little attention to this High-Grade Acquired Spiritual Root.

What surprised Styx even more was that the Nether Bone Bamboo actually contained two Laws within it.

One was the Nether Law, and the other was the Wood Law.

The Nether Law was primary, while the Wood Law was secondary.

Very soon, with the help of the Nether Bone Bamboo, Styx rapidly recovered.

The Law Envoy had waited patiently at the side until Styx had fully recovered.

The sword in Styx's hand surged with overwhelming momentum, showing no fear toward the spear before him.

"Come, let us fight again!"

The Law Envoy's eyes lit up, and he launched an attack with his spear in hand.

Under the influence of the War Law, the Law Envoy was no longer as cold and detached as before. Instead, he seemed several degrees more bold and battle-hungry.

Seeing Styx take the initiative to challenge him, he naturally could not wait even a moment longer.

"Fellow Daoist, 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 sent both swords flying at once, while the Karma Fire Red Lotus and Profound Origin Water Control Flag simultaneously released the water and fire power they had absorbed earlier, wrapping it around the twin swords!

This was practically a replication of what the Law Envoy had done just now!

Yet the Law Envoy did not dare lower his guard.

On the surface, it truly looked very similar to his earlier move.

But one had to remember that his attack had merely been a law sword conjured by a Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak through the Laws.

Without the Laws empowering it, it could be described as utterly feeble.

Styx, however, was using two exceptionally powerful killing treasures as his foundation, supplemented by water and fire power. Its might was certainly no weaker.

But the pride of the War Law would not allow the Law Envoy to evade!

He clearly saw the twin swords tear through the void and knew he had a chance to dodge, yet he charged straight at them!

"Bold!"

The Law Envoy shouted as he gathered boundless force in both hands, intending to seize the two spiritual treasures.

Yet in an instant, the two treasures transformed into two long dragons, one of water and one of fire, coiling around the Law Envoy's body along the direction of his attack.

Then they exploded!

The Law Envoy crashed to the ground!

As water and fire collided, endless vapor burst through the void, blurring even the Law Envoy's vision.

But through the connection between his soul and the Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords, Styx located the Law Envoy.

With a flash, he rode the Karma Fire Red Lotus straight before the Law Envoy.

Before the Law Envoy could recover from the explosion of the two swords, he took another attack from Styx head-on.

His body was instantly covered in wounds.

To be honest, when Styx and the Law Envoy possessed equal cultivation.

Who could emerge victorious largely depended on who had more methods at their disposal and who held the initiative!

Styx was no fool.

The Law Envoy, who possessed the War Law, would never admit defeat lightly.

Moreover, with the War Law, the Law Envoy would only grow braver the longer he fought.

Therefore, Styx had to seize this opportunity and beat the Law Envoy until he had no chance of making a comeback!

Styx attacked again, this time directly engaging in a physical clash!

If he could not even win a physical fight against someone who was already injured, Styx felt he might as well return to the Blood Sea and roast sweet potatoes!

Even if that person was the Law Envoy!

After Styx's successive attacks, the Law Envoy had already been badly injured.

Now, seeing Styx abandon his other methods and choose to fight physically, he instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Thus, he also charged forward with his physical body.

But completely contrary to what the Law Envoy had imagined, Styx's physical strength was actually no weaker than his own!

After they had been deadlocked for some time, Styx's physical strength even increased rather than diminished!

Seeing the smile appear on Styx's face, the Law Envoy finally realized that he had been mistaken.

Since Styx had dared to physically clash with him, he must have possessed absolute confidence in his body.

Of course. Styx had used the Blood Sea's essence blood to temper his body countless times.

His physical strength was undoubtedly among the finest of the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness.

Thus, after sensing that defeat was inevitable, the Law Envoy took the initiative to use the War Law to undo the seal on the second layer of the formation.

For the third Law, the Law Envoy brought forth the Creation Law.

Like the Wood Law, the Creation Law possessed healing and restorative effects.

But among the Three Thousand Laws, the Creation Law was undoubtedly a powerful Law that stood above the Wood Law.

Thus, Styx found himself at a disadvantage once more!

The two had originally begun on equal footing, but relying on the Creation Law, the Law Envoy could recover his wounds every time by rising from the brink of death.

Although Styx could achieve a similar effect through the Nether Bone Bamboo.

The Nether Bone Bamboo was ultimately no match for the Creation Law.

After several exchanges, the Nether Bone Bamboo's glow had dimmed considerably.

It was clear that it could no longer support Styx's recovery many more times.

Fortunately, Styx thought of a solution at a critical moment.

He activated the Blood God Incarnation Great Method and turned the Nether Bone Bamboo into one of his Blood God Doppelganger avatars.

In this way, the Nether Bone Bamboo transformed into a living being.

Though it had only transformed into a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it was a natural-born healer.

After all, the Nether Bone Bamboo as a living being was far stronger than it had been as a mere inanimate object.

Compared to the Creation Force that a Great Luo Golden Immortal like the Law Envoy could wield, it was not inferior in the slightest—perhaps even stronger.

Styx named this new Blood God Doppelganger avatar Mingzhu.

With Mingzhu's assistance, the Law Envoy was defeated by Styx for the third time.

The fourth Law was the Slaughter Law, the one most compatible with him on the Law Tree.

The Law Envoy opposite him transformed into a god of slaughter.

Styx remained utterly fearless.

He had been born from the Blood Sea!

He naturally possessed an extremely profound understanding of the Slaughter Law. Although he had not previously chosen the Slaughter Law as his Law for attaining the Dao.

That did not mean he would never cultivate the Slaughter Law in the future.

Therefore, Styx did not hurry to defeat the Law Envoy this time.

Instead, he continuously comprehended and explored the Slaughter Law throughout the battle.

Only when he felt that he had gained a sufficient understanding of the Slaughter Law did he seize an opening in the Law Envoy's defenses 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 braver with every battle.

He even suspected that the War Law had possessed him.

Before long, he defeated all the remaining Laws.

Naturally, Mingzhu's support had also been indispensable throughout this process.

By the time Styx had completely defeated the Law Envoy, Mingzhu had exhausted his strength and flown directly into Styx's sea of consciousness to recover.

"I finally got them!"

The Ninefold Formation was removed, and Styx finally obtained the two Law Leaves at the center of the formation.

Styx's joy was impossible to conceal.

"Thank you..."

Having obtained the Law Leaves, Styx turned, intending to thank the diligent Law Envoy.

But before he could finish speaking, the surroundings around Styx changed once more.

By the time he came to his senses, he had reappeared in the Purple Cloud Palace.

"This lecture ends here!"

Hongjun's voice rang clearly from the high platform into Styx's ears.

The First Lecture was already over?
