Chapter 1858: Darkness Law
Golden sword light furiously sliced through the third wave of the Dark Side's Devour, the terrifying explosive aftermath causing Lin Qiye's body to tear open, drenching him in blood and turning him into a blood-soaked figure in an instant.
Having endured three meteor strikes in succession, Lin Qiye was also severely injured, but his figure showed no signs of halting. He directly charged through the aftermath into the clouds, and a sword strike without any flourish slashed toward the starry river above!
Clang——!!
The deafening clash of metal shook the eardrums nearly to rupture. Divine light and starlight scattered under the edge of Ame-no-Murakumo. The silver ring was forcefully gouged with a notch.
Nyx furrowed her brow. The silver ring swiftly flew about, and that notch was quickly concealed by endless starlight. The divine power and shock force injected when the sword strike fell were amplified in succession within the ring. After a brief half-second, all of it was rebounded outward!
A golden ripple swept across the heavens, shaking Lin Qiye to spit out a mouthful of blood as his form retreated hundreds of meters backward.
That silver bracelet artifact seemed capable of absorbing all attacks that fell upon it, then reflecting them back outward in doubled form. Lin Qiye felt as though he had slashed himself two or three times, his entire frame nearly shaken apart.
With that bracelet artifact present, breaking through Nyx's defense was nearly impossible... Unless Lin Qiye hacked at it repeatedly with Ame-no-Murakumo until it shattered to pieces, but before that happened, he would likely be worn down by the rebounds first.
Of course, this was only for ordinary enemies... The current Lin Qiye had already found the solution.
A splendid magic array unfurled beneath Lin Qiye's feet. His form gradually vanished within the magical radiance. When he appeared again... it was still Lin Qiye.
That "Lin Qiye" raised his palm, pointing casually at the silver ring through the air. A thread of causality had already wound around it through the notch slashed by Ame-no-Murakumo!
【Transformation Magic】!
The Seraph's clone's transformation magic could turn itself into any existence it had witnessed. The more familiar it was with the person or thing it transformed into, the closer the replicated abilities would be to the original.
And in this world, the one most familiar with Lin Qiye's true self was none other than himself.
When the Seraph's clone transformed into the appearance of the main body, it also gained a slight ability to manipulate the power of causality. However, compared to the main body, this ability was still far too lacking. Even if it could forcibly implant "Causeless Cause" into the silver bracelet, it could only sustain it for an extremely brief moment...
But for Lin Qiye, this was already enough.
As the threads of causality wound around the surface of the silver ring, a causal relationship that had never existed was now being established. The starry river flowing beside Nyx shuddered violently, instantly reverting to that slender silver bracelet and falling toward the ground!
Nyx was stunned as her artifact suddenly lost control. Just as she prepared to do something, a blur of movement had already flashed before her!
The radiance of transformation magic flashed. The Seraph's Lin Qiye reappeared. Under the gaze of those burning golden eyes, a golden sword light split the sky in two!
In the next moment, the night shrouding heaven and earth shattered inch by inch!
As crack after crack spread across the surface of Nyx's body, she resembled a shattered mirror, breaking into countless fine particles of sand. Like being guided by some unseen force, they drifted toward a certain mass of light in the sky...
But before these particles of sand could drift far, a figure had already stepped upon the void!
Lin Qiye gripped the Darkness Origin in his hand. Ink-black night unfurled beneath his feet like a vast net, swallowing all these particles of sand into it.
As these laws poured in, Lin Qiye could distinctly sense a concentrated flow of law power continuously emanate from within the origin. At this moment, the surrounding light dimmed visibly, as though an invisible beast of darkness crouched behind Lin Qiye, gradually devouring all light.
"He won??"
Athena sensed Nyx's aura vanish. She turned to look, catching sight of the blood-soaked Lin Qiye hovering in mid-air. Her eyes were filled with shock!
He actually killed the young Nyx?
Even though he possessed the [Mortal Divine Realm], in terms of cultivation level, he had only attained Chief God status a few years ago... A few years, to a deity, was far too brief. And Nyx was not only a genius of her era but had also one foot stepped into the Supreme God realm.
With such a vast difference in realm, he could still slay the young Nyx—this was nearly an impossible feat in Athena's eyes.
"Darkness Law... No, that's not right. That presence is even more magnificent than Darkness Law!" Artemis sensed the law fluctuations permeating the air, speaking in astonishment. "Is it the Darkness Law? He's about to condense the Darkness Law?"
"Besides the ancient Dark Ancestral God, no one has ever possessed a complete Darkness Law... Where did his law come from?"
"Moreover, doesn't he already possess the Miracle Law? Can a Chief God possess two laws simultaneously?"
"Will he not explode from the backlash?!"
If Lin Qiye's solo kill of Nyx had only left the two of them extremely surprised, then the emergence of the Darkness Law was undoubtedly challenging the limits of their understanding... Setting aside where Lin Qiye obtained the Darkness Law, the mere fact that a Chief God could simultaneously master two laws was unprecedented!
Of course, this was only their perception. Lin Qiye had actually witnessed a deity who possessed two laws simultaneously... and that was Bragi.
It was precisely for this reason that Lin Qiye felt no sense of doing something extraordinary. In his understanding, since Bragi could become a dual-law deity, why couldn't he?
But he had overlooked one point—that Bragi's ability to bear two laws simultaneously was fundamentally due to having Idun's heart within his body.
Idun's Life Law resided within the heart, coexisting with Bragi's body. After an extremely long period of adjustment, Bragi could finally manipulate the law within Idun's heart. Fundamentally speaking, they could still be considered two separate entities. This was an extremely coincidental and special circumstance—the only such case in the world.
As the Darkness Origin trembled slightly, a minute crack suddenly appeared on its surface. Pitch-black branches extended from within the crack, gradually forming a thumb-sized fruit before Lin Qiye.
It was called a fruit, but it resembled more a cluster of coiled black threads. The moment this thing appeared, the light around Lin Qiye instantly perished. Endless darkness had already swallowed him whole!
Lin Qiye stared blankly at this fruit before him. After a long moment, he extended his hand toward it...
"This is... the Darkness Law?"
