The Eight Elemental Powers-light, darkness, earth, fire, wind, water, lightning, and death-and the Four Great Law Powers-fate, space-time, life, and destruction-were the power systems cultivated by the vast majority of people on the Continent of the Gods. Among the Twelve Great Power Systems, the law power systems were relatively unusual, and among their power profound truths, fate and space-time were the most mysterious.
Han Shuo had rarely fought deities of these two systems and was not particularly familiar with their methods of attack. Only when he faced Baum in this battle did Han Shuo discover how troublesome a practitioner of space-time laws could be.
The space around Baum constantly warped and shifted. Though he was clearly standing there, under the influence of the law of space folding, Han Shuo had the illusion that countless planes separated them. Yet this sensation felt so real that even finding the right target for his attacks became extremely difficult.
Spatial rifts tore open one after another, creating a bizarre, bewildering spatial turbulence domain. The Seventeen Flying Swords slipped into the torn spaces whenever he was careless. Had Han Shuo not reacted swiftly and shared an extraordinarily profound connection with the swords, they would probably have been swallowed by the spatial rifts in that brief span.
