We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 368 [Slaying a Legend!]

clang--

This was a clash devoid of any frills, fluff, or skill.

The sound waves generated by the vibrations echoed far and wide, and did not subside for a long time.

The terrifying shockwave expanded outwards from the two individuals.

The nearby neighborhoods, already in a precarious state, collapsed under the aftershocks.

Even the surrounding space showed some tiny cracks.

This memory space was already on the verge of collapse, so it was naturally unable to withstand the collision of this legendary level of power.

Hanno paused slightly.

The remaining half of the face showed a hint of surprise, but this surprise was quickly replaced by a fervent fighting spirit.

He shouted loudly.

"kill!!!"

Then, the half-human, half-dead body swept over like a storm once again.

A fighting spirit also surged in Xia En's eyes. After their brief exchange, he had made a preliminary assessment—

Although the General Hanno before them was at the legendary level, he was quite different from the man he was in life.

No matter what, he's just a ghost who should have died long ago.

[Da Yan] Even with the re-enactment of memories, some kind of deviation is bound to occur.

This is why Xia En was able to maintain a relatively even balance of power with him for the time being, preventing the battle from becoming a one-sided crushing defeat.

This battle is far from over!

Even so, Hanno was a genuine legendary powerhouse, whose strength and aura could only be described as terrifying.

The collision just now caused Xia En's blood and qi to surge, leaving some hidden injuries in his muscles and bones.

What made Xia En even more troubled was...

A strange, dark gray power still lingered around the undead Hanno.

This secret power is somewhat similar to Xia En's Great Dark Heaven, like armor formed from a highly condensed domain.

However, compared to the Great Dark Heaven, the nature of this power gives people a feeling of death and decay.

Moreover, it seems to have transcended the scope of the field and reached a higher level.

A realization dawned on Xia En.

"Could this be... the [Power of Laws] of a legendary powerhouse?"

Based on Xia En's understanding of the legendary realm, after breaking through to the seventh rank, a Mystic will be able to master a unique law.

For example, fire, ice, space, time... and even all things in the world.

It is clear.

Different laws also vary in strength.

It can be said that the choice of which laws one chooses when breaking through to the legendary level determines the upper and lower limits of a legendary cultivator's strength.

Of course, even ordinary things become extremely mysterious after they are elevated to laws.

It's like the effect of the Law of Fire, which could unconditionally burn anything that exists.

More than an ordinary flame, it is the embodiment of a rule.

The name "law" comes from this.

This is precisely why the strength of legendary powerhouses far surpasses that of those at the sixth rank.

Rather than saying that he gained the [Power of Laws] after advancing to the Legendary level, it would be more accurate to say that it is precisely because he possesses the [Power of Laws] that he deserves to be called a Legendary!
Right now, the [Power of Laws] of the undead Hanno seems to be related to death!
at this time.

Lines of information flashed across Xia En's eyes.

[Dead Silence]

[Description: General Hanno's domain of fame is the manifestation of the "Law of Death" he mastered, further distorted by the undead [Great Flame], making it even closer to death.]

[While within the area, Hanno's attacks will have a certain probability of instant death and will continuously weaken the target's morale and vitality.]

For those who are fearful and have weak willpower, the probability of instant death is doubled.

However, while the transformation of [Great Flame] enhanced his understanding of death, it also created contradictions between the laws, which might become its weakness?

Immediate death?

Upon seeing these descriptions, Xia En's pupils constricted.

"Immediate death" means dying instantly.

In games, this usually refers to an attack method that ignores any status such as defense or health, and kills the enemy directly.

When this ability appeared in reality, even Xia En felt a chill run down his spine.

Even if the probability of instant death is very small, once the effect is triggered, there will be no way to defend against it and you will die instantly.

Like the pronouncement of death!
compare to.

The other negative effects of the [Dead Silence Domain] seem insignificant.

It actually has such a buggy ability?
Xia En's expression was solemn.

But considering it's the [power of laws] of a legendary expert, it seems quite normal.

After learning this information...

Xia En quickly realized that this battle had to be won quickly.

Not to mention the other undead that are closing in from the surrounding area.

If you're unlucky enough to get hit by an instant-death attack, then everything will be over.

"Wait, this information is..."

Suddenly, Xia En belatedly realized what was happening.

Before this, he did not have the ability to see through other people's domains.

Clearly, this is all thanks to the [Peeping Eye].

After being promoted to [Guardian of Secrets], the effect of [Peeping Eyes] was also upgraded.

Only then can one see through the essence of the Hanno domain.

This opened up entirely new avenues of thought for Shane.

The [Peeping Eyes] are no longer just a means of exploring [Secret Realms] and improving one's strength.

It can also be used directly in combat to spy on the enemy's secrets and see through their weaknesses and flaws.

Perhaps, this is the true use of the [Peeping Eye]!

Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Shane's eyes as he stared intently at the undead Hanno in front of him.

In his field of vision, the path and direction of the flow of secret power gradually emerged.

These secret powers also revealed Hanno's next move to Xiaen in a clear and detailed manner.

"I've seen right through your actions!"

All of this may seem like a long process, but it actually happens in just a second.

next moment.

A terrifying gale, accompanied by the stench of blood, swept in.

Hanno, carrying the great spear that had accompanied him in battle for many years, charged straight at Shane's face.

As fast as a shooting star!

This time, instead of directly confronting the spear, Xia En slightly turned his body to the side, seemingly narrowly avoiding its sharp edge.

Immediately, he slammed his palm down on the shaft of the spear.

"Bang" sound.

Hanno's body trembled, and he took a small step back, but still held the spear firmly in his hand.

"Ok?"

When he looked up again, a hint of doubt flashed in Hanno's eyes.

The lingering fighting instincts within him told him that something seemed amiss.

However, the real Hanno was already dead, and as an undead, he lacked the rationality and combat wisdom he possessed in life.

After only a brief hesitation, Hanno charged forward again with his gun.

Immediately following was a fierce attack, as swift and intense as a storm.

boom! boom! boom!
Hanno truly lives up to his reputation as a legendary powerhouse.

It can cause great destruction with every move it makes.

With a sweep of the spear, the street beneath their feet was instantly leveled.

A casual poke can carve a large crater in the ground, just like the impact of a meteorite.

As for the unfortunate souls caught in the crossfire, they were shattered to pieces.

His fight with Xia En alone seemed capable of destroying half the city. However...

Looking at the two on the battlefield, An Bing, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but show a look of surprise and was deeply shocked.

Faced with such a terrifying offensive, Shane danced like a graceful dancer on a tightrope and a knife's edge, dodging Hanno's attacks time and time again.

Although each dodge looked extremely dangerous, Hanno just couldn't hit his vital points.

It's always just a little bit short.

Instead, during this process, Hanno gradually developed some wounds.

Cracks appeared again on the already damaged armor.

Unfortunately, Hanno, being a ghost created by the Great Flame, is virtually impossible to kill.

Those wounds also healed rapidly during the battle.

Nevertheless, Dark Ice was still utterly shocked.

Keep in mind, this is a battle between a sixth-tier cultivator and a legendary figure!
For a normal sixth-tier Mystic Path practitioner, not being instantly killed by Hanno already indicates considerable strength.

The fact that Xia En and his opponent were on equal footing was simply unbelievable.

Looking across the entire Seven Seas world, probably no one could do that.

However, Anbing's mood did not ease much as a result.

Even though Xia En is already considered a prodigy, holding his own against a legendary opponent at the sixth rank, it seems that he is still a long way from truly killing the undead Hanno.

Meanwhile, the collapse of the entire surrounding space is intensifying.

Several other auras, no weaker than Hanno's, were constantly approaching.

No matter how you look at it, this is the most desperate situation of all.

"We can't delay it any longer!"

At this moment, a similar thought arose in Xia En's mind.

"What are the key factors for achieving a decisive victory?"

Xia En noticed a sentence in the [Peeping Eye]—

The creation of the Great Yan Dynasty brought about a contradiction in the Law of Death...

Suddenly, a thought struck him.

Yes, as an undead, [Da Yan] already possesses an understanding of the [Laws of Death].

However, its understanding of the "Law of Death" is certainly different from General Hanno's.

This is similar to how different people may have different opinions about the same thing.

Their understanding of the "Law of Death" may also contain contradictions.

However, Hanno was created by the Great Flame, and the power of laws he wielded was bound to be affected by the Great Flame.

As long as we can find that point of contradiction.

Perhaps... that would fundamentally destroy Hanno's existence!

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Xia En's eyes.

The effect of [Peeping Eyes] is pushed to its limit.

Countless points and lines appeared in his eyes, constantly twisting and changing, appearing complex and bizarre.

It was like a bizarre and fantastical dream.

Some of these belong to Hanno's own secret power;
Some of them possess the aura of the Great Flame.

There are also the cracks in this collapsed memory space...

Finding that crucial point in this scene seems like an impossible task.

And this time.

Xia En suddenly remembered the [Great Law] he had witnessed when he advanced to the sixth rank.

At that time, he also vaguely saw the deepest secret among the countless stars and the trajectory of the [Secret Realm].

This situation feels strangely similar to what happened back then.

With this in mind, Xia En cleared his mind of distractions, ignored the superficial lines and points of light, and looked toward the deepest and most fundamental part of Hanno.

Gradually.

Shane's entire field of vision became clear and open.

All those intricate and fragmented lines have disappeared.

Only a few lines remain conspicuous.

The remaining lines all carry extremely strong colors and atmospheres, as if they are engraved in this space and will not change due to changes in external objects.

A strange intuition arose in Xia En's mind.

Those special lines are very likely the so-called "power of laws".

If we use a more fantastical way of referring to it...

Perhaps we could call them—

[The Dao Traces!]

That is, the traces of the path.

The reason they appear so clear and stable is most likely because...

These are the fundamental laws that constitute this world!

Naturally, it will not be easily shaken.

Xia En even had a feeling.

These [powers of law] might be directly imprinted on the [Great Laws].

This ensures that every [Secret Realm] in the entire Secret Sea must follow this fundamental principle.

A sense of awe and wonder flashed through Xia En's mind.

He knew that the most crucial thing now was to find a way to defeat Hanno!
After a search.

Xia En quickly noticed that among those lines, there were two similar yet different gray-black lines.

Unlike other lines, these two are very similar in color, yet they possess a distinctly different feel.

They seem to be opposites, yet they are intertwined.

The instant he saw them, Xia En was certain—

This is the "Law of Death" he has been searching for!
At the intersection of the two line segments, there is a clear point of intersection.

It emitted a faint light in the darkness.

That intersection point is precisely where the two contradict each other, and therefore it is much more fragile than the true "law".

Without hesitation, Xia En's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his body moved like a black streak of light, heading straight for Hanno.

Seeing this, a hint of indifference flashed in the eyes of the undead Hanno.

He knew very well that here, his body was practically immortal, and even if he stood there and let Xia En kill him, he might not be able to.

Therefore, he chose the simplest and most direct tactic—

Trade injury for life!

Hanno completely ignored Xia En's punch, leaving himself wide open, and simultaneously raised his spear, thrusting it straight into Xia En's chest.

Such an opportunity was one that Xia En would naturally not miss.

The pent-up power erupted at this moment, slamming violently onto the intersection he saw in his field of vision.

It was only at this moment that Hanno realized a deadly sense of crisis.

But by then, it was too late.

Just as Xia En's fist struck the "intersection point," the spear in his hand pierced Xia En's body.

boom!
After a loud bang, everything around them came to a standstill, and Hanno and Shane remained standing in the same spot.

However, numerous tiny cracks appeared on his body surface, as if he was about to collapse.

In this final moment, Hanno rediscovered a sliver of his former humanity.

A hint of surprise crossed the face of the person with the other half, and they asked.

What did your eyes see?

After thinking for a moment, Xia En said, "The essence of the [Law]."

Upon hearing this, a look of realization and appreciation appeared in Hanno's eyes.

"The young people of this era are indeed extraordinary."

"However, I must remind you of something."

"The truth you seek may only bring you despair..."
