Gray's Predicament
"This Aoqi Plane isn't all desolate land after all." After traveling for several more days, Rog and his group were now in a primeval forest, surrounded by towering trees.
"Hmm? Someone's coming, probably a Commander." Rog saw a white-haired young man in an aristocratic evening suit walking towards him.
"Who is this Prefect or Commander? He looks unfamiliar." After a closer look, Lampard quickly realized that Rog must be the Commander of the opposing team.
Teams operating in this misty region without Commander are simply offering Commander up for slaughter. After all, there are quite a few lone-wolf Commander in this misty region who are too lazy to bring their subordinates, and the Seven-Star Fiend Demons have no right to act alone here.
Seeing that the other party meant no harm, Rog replied directly, "I am Rog, the newly Lord of Tianhua Prefecture in the Infernal Realm."
Lampard thought to himself, "Just as I expected," and chuckled, "My name is Lampard, Rog. I'd like to spar with you. I hope you won't refuse."
"Sure." Rog understood that this was actually a normal development when two Commander met during an expedition. Not every Commander was willing to lead his men; their main purpose in coming here was to spar with other experts of the same level.
Lampard had the air of an old aristocrat, and Rog had a fairly good impression of him.
Lampard was overjoyed when he agreed and shouted, "Take this!"
Lampard unleashed a powerful punch at Rog, the fist twisting the space around him, and a chilling aura emanated from his fist.
Seeing this, Rog also threw a punch directly. His fist was wrapped with wisps of electric current, but it did not disturb the space at all. Its power was completely contained. Wherever the fist shadow went, the space was like still water!
Boom! Two fists, each brimming with immense power, collided...
The two exchanged blows first. Because he couldn't use his ultimate move, Azure Lightning, Rog was at a disadvantage. Then they each used their signature physical and Soul Attack. Of course, Rog didn't use his full strength in his Soul Attack, otherwise, even though Lampard was very good at soul defense, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
After exchanging blows for a moment, Lampard looked at Rog and shook his head helplessly. "You cultivate the Lightning Law, while I cultivate the Laws of Water Elements. My understanding of the profound mysteries is no worse than yours, but I can't compare to you in terms of physical attacks."
The Seven Laws and Four Edicts each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Lampard cultivates the Water Law, making his material and soul defenses very strong, but his offensive capabilities are quite average. Whether it's material attacks or Soul Attack, he's weaker than other elemental experts of the same level.
Rog chuckled and said, "Although the Water Law's offensive capabilities are average, its defensive power is formidable."
The Water Law is best at defense and deflecting force. However, when it comes to enhancing physical attacks, only the "Sharpness of Ice" technique is relatively obvious, but it is far inferior to the "Judgment" technique of the Lightning Element.
"I'm done fighting, I'm done fighting." Lampard shook his head and said, "I can't beat you in Soul Attack or physical attacks, and you Lightning Element are also very good at speed. If I fight you, I'll just be a sitting duck."
Rog chuckled. Lampard was quite a character. But what he said wasn't wrong; Water Law were indeed mostly like that—limited in offensive capabilities, but often possessing astonishing defensive power, making them very difficult to deal with, and their survivability was no less than that of a strong cultivator who had mastered the Life Law.
"I am the Lord of Kulen Prefecture in the Water Divine Plane. You are welcome to visit me anytime." Before leaving, Lampard extended an invitation to Rog.
It seems that many of the Commander come here share this love of making friends.
"Alright, the Water Divine Plane, I haven't been there yet." Rog wasn't particularly averse to a Commander with his temperament.
After sparring with Lampard, Rog and his group continued their journey through the misty region of the Aoqi Plane.
During this period, he once again encountered Commander who was willing to exchange ideas with him.
Sparring with these figures would greatly help improve his combat experience, since each of the Four Edicts Seven Laws has its own advantages and disadvantages. This is often reflected in the fighting styles of various powerful individuals. Rog had once suffered a loss against a powerful individual who cultivated the Laws of the Earth. The opponent's true form was likely Divine Beast or a special race, and the profound mysteries of his fusion were also well-suited for unleashing power. In that exchange of blows, Rog's fist almost broke. The power of Laws of the Earth expert is indeed astonishing.
"After a century of time, my ' Leiming ' Profound Mystery has been fully integrated with the other four Profound Mysteries. The next step is the final step of integrating all five Profound Mysteries together." Inside the secret chamber of Tianhua Prefecture, Rog himself and the Death Divine Clone remained in seclusion.
After breaking through to the Highgod, his soul power increased greatly. As long as he didn't encounter a bottleneck, the speed of fusing the deduction laws would actually be faster. Moreover, Rog was confident that the bottleneck of fusing the five profound mysteries would not hinder him for too long. At the latest, within a thousand years, the five profound mysteries would be completely mastered.
On the contrary, they have yet to find a breakthrough in the Fusion Law.
Just as Rog was in a very comfortable mood, the Gray brothers' situation was not so pleasant.
--
It turns out that after receiving guidance from Rog, Gray stayed in the Deen Tribe to cultivate peacefully, instead of rushing to become Highgod. Instead, he first fused the two profound mysteries. After this breakthrough, he took his Domir into the city. He let his brother stay in the city to cultivate, while he went to take the Fiend test.
Although he was Midgod, his strength was comparable to that of a typical Highgod. He passed the assessment smoothly and then began to take on Fiend Mission, gradually raising his star level to Four-Star.
During this process, he broke through again, successfully fusing three profound mysteries and gaining the strength of Five-Star Fiend. At the same time, his Domir also Refine Divine Spark and reached the level of Highgod. The two of them could be said to have initially gained a foothold in the Infernal Realm.
After about 50,000 years of this, Gray, who still couldn't find the opportunity to fuse with the fourth profound mystery, finally gave up on continuing to Fusion Profound Mysteries and broke through to the realm of Highgod. From then on, Gray directly possessed the strength of Six-Star Fiend, making him a minor expert in this Infernal Realm.
Hundreds of years ago, Gray came to the Blood Peak Continent and met a beautiful girl named Connie in a city. Gray fell in love with Connie at first sight, and the two dated for hundreds of years before finally deciding to get married.
This should have been a happy occasion, and his Domir was also pleased for him. However, a young master named Aiwen took a liking to Connie and even tried to force his wife away. Enraged, Gray didn't care about anything else and killed Aiwen in a fit of anger. It turned out that Aiwen was actually a direct descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan Four Divine Beasts Clan.
The two brothers then realized they had gotten themselves into serious trouble. With no other option, the three of them had to flee overnight. During this time, Gray even sacrificed his strongest Fire Divine Clone to delay the powerful Azure Dragon Clan who came to hunt them down.
"That damned Azure Dragon Clan, relying on the backing of the Sovereign, they're too shameless and domineering. A Five-Star Fiend dares to forcibly take someone else's wife." Gray had lost his strongest Fire Divine Clone, so you can imagine how he felt at that moment.
"Who told them to have Sovereign behind them? But that Aiwen doesn't even have the Sovereign’s Might. His status as a direct descendant is probably just average. At most, he can send this Seven-Star Fiend to hunt us down. Once we arrive at Tianhua Prefecture, with Lord Rog's protection, they definitely won't dare to act recklessly," Domir comforted Gray.
"Big brother, will the Prefect be willing to protect us?" Connie was also very remorseful. Fortunately, Gray had a talented Light God Clone, otherwise she didn't know how much pain Gray would be in now. Moreover, all of this was caused by her.
"Connie, don't blame yourself. It's all because the Azure Dragon Clan is too domineering. This isn't the first or second time they've done something like this. What can we do..." Domir could only shake his head helplessly.
"As for Lord Rog, firstly, we're old acquaintances, and secondly, Gray left me that treasure back then, but I've never used it. It's a good thing I didn't use it; with that treasure, Lord Rog will definitely agree to protect us." Domir was also glad he made that choice back then.
