On the Yulan Continent.

Regardless of whether it is earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, light, or darkness, the power of these seven elemental magics is inferior to three specific types of magic.

These three types of magic are the "Great Prophecy" favored by the Pope of the Radiant Church, the "Life Magic" of the legendary strongest individual in the Yulan Empire, the "High Priest," and finally, the extremely rare and uncommon "Necromancy."

These three types of magic are extremely, extremely rare among those who can wield them on the Yulan Continent.

Kolan understands that the seven elemental magics—earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, light, and darkness—were actually simplified by the Sovereigns into magic systems to harvest the power of faith from the seven elemental laws.

As for the "Great Prophecy," it is actually magic related to the Fate Law; "Life Magic" should, to be precise, be magic related to the Life Rules; and "Necromancy" is magic related to the Death Rules.

Of the Four Rules, the Fate Law, Life Rules, and Death Rules all have associated magic, while only the Destruction Law has no magic.

In fact, those who cultivate the Destruction Law are extremely rare; at least in Kolan's memory, there is currently no Saint-level powerhouse who cultivates the Destruction Law.

Previously, although Kolan practiced Life Magic, he had not actually entered the threshold of the Life Rules.

Simply put, it was equivalent to a Saint-level warrior who remained at the level of "momentum" without comprehending the profound mysteries of the laws.

But now, he has come into contact with the Life Rules.

Even though it is just a touch, it has broadened Kolan's horizons, as if he has come into contact with a magical world concerning life.

Before, he had comprehended the Death Rules, but now, he has comprehended the Life Rules.

This state is truly wondrous.

Unlike the Death Rules, the Life Rules lean more toward vitality.

Of course, the two also have similarities, as both are adept at matters of the soul, though among the Four Rules, the Death Rules are the most proficient in soul-related aspects.

Kolan even discovered that within his soul ocean, the Death Rules had evolved into a black scythe, while the Life Rules had evolved into a scepter, their auras diametrically opposed.

Previously, because he had no comprehension of the Life Rules, this scepter did not exist in his soul ocean.

"These Life Rules are truly wondrous. My vitality has increased by at least thirty percent." Kolan opened his eyes, a hint of amazement in them.

He had only comprehended a small portion of the life-related aspects of the Life Rules, yet to increase his vitality by thirty percent is simply unimaginable.

If he were to comprehend this aspect to completion and reach the level of a Lowgod in the Life Rules, how powerful would his vitality be then?

By that time, I fear that even if he allowed a Saint-level powerhouse to attack him, it would be difficult for them to injure him.

Not in a rush to leave, Kolan took the time to properly summarize his combat techniques.

Life Magic can summon giant trees or vines to fight the enemy, but undoubtedly, it is useless against a Saint-level Tyrannosaurus of this caliber.

To battle the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus, he must rely on close-quarters combat.

Magic attacks would likely just tickle the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus, unable to even break through its scales.

The same logic applies to Undead Lifeforms; even the most powerful Saint-level Undead Lifeform, comparable to the peak of the Saint-level, would not necessarily be able to injure the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus.

Ten days later, Kolan sought out the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus once again.

"Human 'Kolan,' what have you come for again!" the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus roared.

The injuries and exhaustion from before had been fully recovered during this period.

Now, the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus had returned to its peak state.

"Puterode, let us have another battle today!" Kolan said with a faint smile.

"You bully dragons too much!" the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus bellowed.

Previously, it had exhausted all its strength and still failed to kill Kolan.

How could it possibly kill him by doing this all over again?

Kolan was simply bullying it!

"If you have the ability, fight me, Puterode, head-on!" the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus roared.

At the same time, the tail of the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus had already whipped toward Kolan with a 'whoosh.'

Taking advantage of this moment to launch a sneak attack, one must admit that this Saint-level Tyrannosaurus is more than just a little cunning.

"A head-on fight? Why would I be afraid!" Kolan flashed, dodging the tail strike.

He then slashed his sword toward the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus.

A flash of contempt crossed the eyes of the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus. Previously, Kolan's single attacks could only create a wound ten centimeters deep, but one must know that its scales were a full sixty centimeters thick.

A single attack could not even break through its defensive scales, posing no substantial threat.

Among the dragon race, the defensive scales of the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus are the most terrifying; even the scales of a Black Dragon are far inferior to those of the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus.

In terms of raw power, the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus is also exceptionally proficient.

"The power of this Saint-level Tyrannosaurus is truly terrifying and overbearing; no wonder it is a Tyrannosaurus!" After one head-on collision, Kolan's sword only shattered a single dragon scale, leaving a wound about ten centimeters deep, yet the Tyrannosaurus did not bleed a single drop.

Instead, he was sent flying by the terrifying force.

This Saint-level Tyrannosaurus is indeed terrifying!

"Roar~~" The Tyrannosaurus growled angrily, its terrifying sound waves constrained within a narrow area, striking directly at Kolan.

The dreadful sound made Kolan's ears ring, and immediately afterward, the Tyrannosaurus charged madly toward him.

The earth shook and the mountains swayed.

Kolan's expression was solemn.

The roar of this Saint-level Tyrannosaurus contained a mental attack.

If not for his soul mutation, which had greatly increased his soul power, an ordinary Saint-level warrior would likely have lost their focus from this sound and been killed by the Tyrannosaurus.

Kolan did not dodge, choosing instead to fight the Tyrannosaurus head-on.

Even though he was completely at a disadvantage, Kolan did not retreat.

"Damn human 'Kolan', you are too bizarre; no matter how heavy your injuries are, you recover in the blink of an eye!" The Saint-level Tyrannosaurus's eyes revealed disbelief.

Clearly, Kolan had taken a direct hit from its dragon tail and been sent flying while vomiting blood; it had been certain that Kolan would be dead or at least severely wounded.

Yet, in just the blink of an eye, Kolan seemed as if nothing had happened.

It was incredibly bizarre!

"Puterode, enough with the nonsense, come again!" Kolan charged at the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus once more.

"I refuse to believe I cannot kill you!" The Saint-level Tyrannosaurus roared.

"Roar~~" In an instant, it felt as if the earth were shaking and the mountains were swaying.

At the same time, a gray mist manifested out of thin air, instantly shrouding the surrounding hundreds of meters, enveloping Kolan along with it.

"Pfft~~" Kolan was struck, sent flying backward, his entire body feeling as if it had fallen apart.

The blood within his body churned, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

However, the life force within him was rapidly repairing Kolan's wounds.

Kolan was like an unkillable cockroach; even though the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus held the absolute upper hand, it simply could not kill him.

One had to realize, this was happening during a head-on collision.

This left the Saint-level Tyrannosaurus feeling both incredulous and furious; what exactly was up with this human? In all its years of living, it had never seen such a strange human.

A physical body powerful enough to rival a Saint-level Magic Beast, terrifying recovery abilities, and the capacity to use two different attributes of energy simultaneously.

The Saint-level Tyrannosaurus attacked Kolan relentlessly, wanting to kill him outright and then devour him as food.

Yet, it just could not kill Kolan.
