Chapter 531: #531 - The Law of Time

"Using a law to control a law?"

Xu Fengqiu slowly paced back and forth.

He currently possessed the Law of Strength, the Law of Creation, and the Law of Destruction.

But if a great battle were to occur, how could he restrain the Law of Time?

"Use the Law of Destruction to destroy the power of Time?"

Xu Fengqiu pondered aloud.

Not good.

It wouldn't be stable enough.

Although the Law of Destruction could be activated with a single thought from Xu Fengqiu.

But…

Xu Fengqiu needed to be in a position to react.

Whether it would achieve the desired effect was still unknown.

Moreover, the Celestial Palace's methods were so formidable.

Xu Fengqiu had every reason to believe that the Celestial Palace would have some means to make the Law of Time exert power far beyond its current capabilities.

Simply put, how much power one could draw from a law depended on the strength of the person wielding it.

In the Nine Provinces, the Supreme Celestial Emperor realm was capable of drawing the most power from the laws.

However, the Celestial Palace might indeed possess certain methods that could allow a Supreme Celestial Emperor, who could originally draw 10 units of power from a law, to draw 20 units instead.

This was definitely something Xu Fengqiu needed to consider.

And Xu Fengqiu couldn't!

Even though Xu Fengqiu possessed the Heavenly Punishment, which was a "container" for laws.

But this was not where Xu Fengqiu's advantage lay.

If the Law of Time and the Heavenly Punishment were together, it was still unknown whether Xu Fengqiu could directly and forcibly absorb the Law of Time through the Heavenly Punishment without any strategy.

Everything could only be done in the most cautious way.

The Celestial Palace matter would be Xu Fengqiu's last undertaking in the Nine Provinces.

Even if it cost him a great deal of energy, he absolutely had to ensure it was stable and successful.

Therefore, Xu Fengqiu could spare no expense or effort.

"The Law of Strength is clearly unable to contend with Time, and Destruction probably wouldn't be stable either."

If it were just Xu Fengqiu alone, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

But Xu Fengqiu needed to consider the threat the laws posed to others.

"The Law of Creation…"

Then it seemed that only the Law of Creation remained?

Using the Law of Creation in advance to create a power, and then letting that power restrain the power of the Law of Time.

That should be possible.

It only required a single thought.

Create what?

Create a spiritual artifact specifically to restrain the power of Time?

That's a bit difficult.

"Wait…"

Xu Fengqiu thought of something.

"What about using the Law of Creation to create some pills?"

These pills were actually not pills in the traditional sense.

Because the Law of Creation could create things with a single thought.

The things created, the methods used, could be illogical.

"Law of Creation, create pills."

The power of the Law of Creation was released, and a pill that looked unremarkable appeared in Xu Fengqiu's hand.

This pill didn't even have spiritual energy fluctuations; it looked just like a candy bean.

However, according to Xu Fengqiu's intention, the only effect of this pill was to resist the power of the Law of Time after being consumed, nothing more.

In other words, this pill had no other effect; it was purely for resisting the Law of Time.

But…

Whether it could resist the Law of Time was still uncertain.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Xu Fengqiu might need to ensure the strength of this pill.

"Law of Creation…"

The consumption of creating something depends on the difficulty of the creation.

And the difficulty of this matter was actually not simple; although both involved laws, it was also about resisting a law.

And the creation of the next pill emptied a large amount of Xu Fengqiu's spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy was secondary; Xu Fengqiu could quickly replenish and recover it.

But the consumption of mental and soul power was more difficult to recover and had a greater impact.

And the reason why the creation of this pill consumed so much was because it was fundamentally different from the previous creation.

The previous pill's effect was to withstand one impact of the Law of Time's power.

And this time, it was able to withstand the impact of the Law of Time's power for a period of time, an hour.

One resisted once, and the other resisted indefinitely within an hour; the consumption was completely different.

"No! I can't possibly create every pill to be able to infinitely resist the Law of Time within that time frame."

Xu Fengqiu pondered aloud.

Although that would be the safest.

But it was clearly unreasonable.

Just from this one pill, Xu Fengqiu felt it, and he knew that he might not be able to create so many pills even if he was given another ten years.

The consumption was too great, and the recovery of his soul and spirit would take too long.

Therefore, he could only create pills that consumed according to the number of times.

This was relatively much simpler.

But it was actually not safe either.

You don't know when the other party will use the Law of Time.

"What about resisting twice?"

One pill can resist the impact of the power of Time twice.

Xu Fengqiu created again.

However, the consumption was still very large.

Although it was not as consuming as that kind of pill that lasted for a period of time, it was dozens of times greater than resisting the power of the Law of Time once!

The difference was not even that much.

Clearly, it only changed a pill from resisting the power of the Law of Time once to twice.

Why would the consumption be dozens of times greater?

Xu Fengqiu thought for a moment, and he roughly understood the reason.

Only resisting once, everything is clear.

It can clearly resist the Law of Time this once.

But resisting twice would have some uncertainty.

When will the Law of Time be released a second time, what will be the intensity of the second time, and will the second time be targeted at one person or many, many people?

The concept is completely different.

And this point, Xu Fengqiu would also find it difficult to achieve.

Therefore, what he can achieve now is to spend a period of time to ensure that everyone can resist the impact of the power of the Law of Time once!

Is that enough?

In a sense, it's really not enough.

The Law of Time is in their hands; they should be able to use the power of the Law of Time multiple times, right?

But Xu Fengqiu believed that if it was in a global battle, to use the Law of Time that could interfere with the overall situation, they would definitely not be able to use it twice.

Xu Fengqiu possessed laws.

He was very clear about how much power he could draw from the laws at his current realm.

So he could completely deduce how much power the other party could draw from the Law of Time.

The uncertainty lay in whether they had other means to draw more power from the Law of Time, or how strong that means was.

"Then…"

"Use the Law of Creation to contend once, and if there is a second time, use the Law of Destruction to contend."

Xu Fengqiu pondered aloud.

Although using the Law of Destruction to contend had many uncertainties.

But it seemed that this was the only way.

The Law of Strength was not suitable for this situation.

"The release of the Law of Time affecting the overall situation, I really don't believe they can release it three times. Theoretically, it's difficult to release it even twice, but to be on the safe side, I think they can release it twice. If these two times can be resisted, then there really won't be any impact, right?"

Xu Fengqiu nodded.

Yes!

That's it.
