Chapter 236: Make a deal with the law of strength

~ Master said that I shouldn't try to feel the Law of strength.~

~But now, I can clearly feel it.~

Lin Fan could feel the terrifying energy in the mace. It felt as if he had come across the limit of a specific power.

He took his hand away, and the feeling disappeared.

Such strong energy. So this is the Law of strength that Master was talking about. I haven't felt it deeply, but the surface aura is enough to scare me.

~Now that I'm in the Earth Star Border Stage Nine, I feel that my ability has improved drastically~

~Or I should say that it's just a step away from becoming a Heaven Star Border cultivator?~

~However, I'm aware that it's a tough step. The foundation needed is too great, and it's a far cry from what I used to require to breakthrough.~

He placed his hands on the mace to feel the Law of strength once again. Instantly, a terrifying energy surged towards Lin Fan.

He could see a mighty figure standing amongst a galaxy in his mind. The gigantic figure stood in the middle of the universe alone. Lin Fan's eyes which were tightly shut, shot open.

Two bright rays of light shone through Lin Fan's chest. It hit his heart directly.

Lin Fan could feel a strong force coming towards him. If it was anyone else, they would have stopped there. But as if he feared nothing, Lin Fan dived towards the force.

Suddenly, as if Lin Fan arrived in a vast area, a powerful force bombarded Lin Fan.

Pui!

Lin Fan vomited blood, face turning as pale as paper.

Such strong energy. What's going on? I'm not even able to resist.

Lin Fan looked up in shock. ~There's something that can defeat me with my strength now? That's surprising!~

~The Law of strength is incredible. Or should I say, all laws are.~

~Whatever, I'm still alive. Let's continue to explore.~

Suddenly, a force could be felt crashing towards him.

Lin Fan vomited blood again. He didn't feel any pain. Thus he ignored the injuries. ~At most, I can just kill myself.~

Finally, an aura flew over. Lin Fan felt death looming.

Ten seconds later.

Interesting. It seems to be trying to force me to leave.

Lin Fan put the mace in his hand again and felt the energy. He was curious about how the Law of strength was like.

Only a Heaven Star Border Stage Five can understand the law of strength.

~If this is real, does it means that I'll never be able to fight a Heaven Star Border Stage Five if I don't understand Laws?~

A few days went by.

Yunxiao Peak. The dense smoke whirlpool had slowly solidified, and an increase in viscosity could be seen in the aura.

A figure could be seen sitting in the middle of the whirlpool. The man had his eyes shut tightly, and the aura surrounding his body got increasingly stronger.

Is senior brother Yun is about to breakthrough? Wang Shengkang said excitedly. I can feel a terrifying energy!

As long as Senior brother breaks through to the Heaven Star Border, we will be the best peak. Even the Invincible peak will be nothing compared to us.

Xuan Qing nodded. Excitement was written all across his face. Both of them were confident that Yun Xiao would be able to break through the Heaven Star Border realm and emerge as a true elite.

The Invincible Peak leader has been in seclusion recently too. But sadly, our Senior brother Yun will still be ahead of him. I wonder how the other peak leaders are doing. They have yet to return from their trip.

The thought of the other peak leaders made Wang Shengkang feel the pressure. ~The competition in the sect is too intense. None of the other Eight peak leaders are simple either.~

After the previous incidents, Zhan Hongdi from the Great emperor peak left the sect and hadn't come back since. His cultivation remains unknown, but Wang Shengkang believed strongly that Yun Xiao would be the first peak leader to break through to the Heaven Star Border.

Lu Qiming looked towards the Yun Xiao peak that was a distance away. An aura whirlpool could be seen on top of Yun Xiao peak. The Yun Xiao peak might be far away, but he could still feel the terrifying aura.

The surrounding disciples were all whispering. They could tell that Yun Xiao was about to break through to the Heaven Star Border very soon.

However, they had faith in their peak leader, so they didn't put this scene to their heart.

The Withered peak.

Ge Lian, look. If Yun Xiao breaks through to the Heaven Star Border, won't he be the first peak? Elder Gu Mu nodded happily.

Ge Lian took a glance at the Yun Xiao peak expressionlessly. He was currently in a bad mood. The thought of Jun Wutian, who had colluded with the Divine Religion made his blood boil. All he had spent on Jun Wutian had now gone down the drain.

Seeing the dense aura whirlpool, he couldn't help but sigh. You're lucky. The disciple that you're supporting is now going to break through to the Heaven Star Border realm.

Hahaha! Gu Mu laughed and raised his hand. The Withered peak shook slightly as a ball of green-colored light enveloped his hand. With a flick, the light went towards the Yun Xiao peak.

Ge Lian looked at the green-colored light enviously. That's the vital energy that you saved ten years ago, and you just gave it away. How generous you are.

It will be useless when he's a Heaven Star Border cultivator. It's a great tonic now. Look at Tian Xu; he spent all his assets on his disciple, how could I lose out to him?

That old man is harming his disciple instead of helping him. Possessing a treasure even before he has broken through to the Heaven Star Border realm? Let me see how he will improve in the future. Ge Lian said in anger. He was initially in a bad mood thanks to Tian Xu too.

However, he was no match for Tian Xu, so there was nothing he could do other than get angry.

The Invincible peak's secret chamber.

Eh? It's not going to resist anymore?

For the past few days, Lin Fan had been trying to feel the Law of strength. The stronger the energy was, the more insignificant Lin Fan felt.

At the start, he died more than a hundred times a day.

But after a few days, the energy disappeared without a trace.

Without any resistance, Lin Fan managed to feel the Law closely.

The was a law floating in the space silently. It seemed to be a non-living thing. But suddenly, Lin Fan heard a voice ringing in his ear.

Is there something wrong with you?

Lin Fan jumped up, facial expression changing. He has never thought that the Law would have intelligence, and he was even more surprised that the Law could speak.

You can talk?

The Law of strength shivered. It looked like a polynucleotide chain initially, but with a flash, the chain turned into a muscular man with a ferocious look. He currently wore a frown.

I'm the Law of strength, the power of nature. I could be the god of strength, but thanks to you living things that caught me, you ruined my chance to be a god. So how dare you ask if I can talk?

Lin Fan looked at the Law weirdly. ~I must be a frog in the well. I never expected a law to be able to talk. This is so magical.~

But the Law of strength is just a non-living thing that can grow. I'm surprised that you have such intelligence.

The Law of strength stomped his feet, and the blurry space exploded. Who is a non-living thing? We are the power of nature, and we existed way before you living things! If we aren't being suppressed by heaven and earth, do you think you'd be able to catch me? You are just robbers that want to steal my power to make yourself stronger! This is absolutely unforgivable.

No, no. Lin Fan shook his head. You don't make sense. The world is like this, where the weak are prey to the strongest. That is how nature works. You might have existed way longer than we have. Still, with Heaven and earth suppressing you, you will just be contributing to living things and making them stronger instead of growing stronger yourself. There's nothing to whine about if you are taken as a slave to living things.

Are you here to rob my strength too? the Law of strength glared at Lin Fan. With a crack, the surrounding space shattered.

No, I'm not that type of person. Lin Fan waved his hands while pondering an important question. ~The Law of strength was placed in my weapon forcefully. It's impossible to make it contribute to me willingly before I get to Heaven Star Border Stage Five.

Let's make a deal. What do you think? Lin Fan asked.

As soon as he finished his words.

The Law of strength jolted. Its muscles shivered as disbelief washed over its face. What did you just say?

Lin Fan looked at it confusedly. ~ Don't tell me that the Law of strength has a low IQ and is mentally retarded?~ I said, let's make a deal.

Within no time.

The Law of strength appeared in front of Lin Fan. It grabbed his shoulder with his muscular hands. Deal? You view me as a living thing?

Made by mother nature, the laws were born as soon as the earth formed. They should be known as the first living things. However, they ended up being a support to other living things due to Heaven and Earth's suppression,

~Now that this man is making a deal with me, it shows that he views us as living things.~

Mhmm. Lin Fan nodded calmly. He didn't feel a single bit of guilt even though he was lying.

Hahaha! The Law of strength burst into laughter. Living things, we are finally acknowledged as living things!

Alright, speak up. What deal? I know that humans are fair, and you like to make deals that benefit both parties.

I'm going to make a deal with you. Let me understand the Law of strength, and I'll let you leave once I reach the Heaven Star Border Stage Five. I will be struck by lightning and turned into ashes if I go back on my words. Lin Fan said without hesitation.

This is impossible. Your cultivation is too weak. You will only be able to understand the Law when you're in the Heaven Star Border Stage Five. You are the 13600th human being that got here, but the first to acknowledge us as living things. I am willing to make a deal with you.

I will teach you how to understand the core of true strength when you reach Heaven Star Border Stage Five.

Trying to make itself look like a living thing, the Law of strength was learning how to make a deal too.

There were countless laws globally, but their thoughts were all connected. Memories and past experiences would be passed down too.

Lin Fan didn't expect to learn so much by speaking to the Law of strength. He had become more knowledgeable.

Alright. Deal. But now that you're in my weapon, you will have to give it your all.

I can't. The Law shook its head. We are limitless, and the weapons aren't good enough to bear all of our strength. But since we've made a deal, I will ensure the weapon will perform its best.

Deal.

Lin Fan said, smiling.
