The Prodigies War-Chapter 2664 The Profound Secret of Borrowing Law Power

The uproar in Heavenly Water Divine State swiftly swept across the entire Sixth Heaven Domain. In an instant, a storm of chaos erupted. The Luo Clan was a force that had long since fallen into decline.

Contrary to all expectations, in this battle, they wiped out the combined forces of the Yao and Ling Clans in one fell swoop. The outcome was unbelievable.

“First, the Luo Clan’s branch lineage was suppressed and the main lineage regained control. Then, they turned their dire situation around and inflicted such a devastating blow on the Yao and Ling Clans. Could the Luo Clan be rising once more?”

Countless cultivators were shaken.

“Even Yao Tianhan, a Nirvana Spirit Immortal, failed to escape his doom. That’s truly terrifying.”

In the entire Sixth Heaven Domain, a Nirvana Spirit Immortal was unquestionably a towering giant, standing above all beings, overlooking the domain, commanding the winds and clouds, and wielding unimaginable monstrous might.

Under ordinary circumstances, if such a being was determined to flee, almost no one could stop them. The fact that Yao Tianhan still perished despite this sent shockwaves rippling across the domain.

No matter how one looked at it, the outcome of this battle instantly thrust the Luo Clan into the spotlight, making them the most-talked about Immortal Imperial Clan in the entire Sixth Heaven Domain!

At the same time, undercurrents had begun to stir in the Sixth Heaven Domain. Immortal Imperial Clans like the Wen, Heng, Zhu, He, and Hong Clans had started reaching out to one another...

......

The Luo Clan, Jianjia Peak.

“This is the violet lightning law?”

Lin Xun held an ancient bronze seal between his fingers. Arcs of violet lightning surged from it, dazzling and fierce, exuding a destructive aura of law power. Not far away, Luo Xiao, Lu Boya, and Luo Xiu stood watching, faint smiles on their faces.

In the next moment, Lin Xun rose into the air, soaring toward the sea of clouds. His sleeves billowed in the wind as he took a deep breath and activated the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron.

Clang!

With a resonant hum, an ancient dao sword emerged from the sword cauldron. At Lin Xun’s command, violet lightning law energy condensed upon the blade. An instant later, the sword erupted with devastating power, tearing the nearby sea of clouds apart with blinding violet light.

Then, Luo Xiu’s lean figure appeared in the distance. He looked over and called, “Xun’er, spar with me.”

Lin Xun inhaled deeply. In the blink of an eye, his aura surged like a volcanic eruption.

Boom!

With a thought, the dao sword infused with violet lightning laws seemed to transform into a violet heavenly river, sweeping across the sky and slashing downward like divine retribution. Thunder rumbled as the void trembled, and the vast sea of clouds was dyed a brilliant violet by the dazzling lightning.

When the sword descended, it was like a heavenly tribulation from the heavens, vast and boundless as the sky! Luo Xiu’s robes flared around him as he mobilized his Nirvana Spirit cultivation. With a sudden motion, he thrust out a palm to meet the oncoming strike.

Rumble!

When the palm and sword collided, the heavens seemed to explode. The vast sea of clouds collapsed and scattered under the terrifying impact. Luo Xiu’s figure swayed, his hair and beard whipping about as the qi around him roiled like a storm.

“Xun’er, the violet lightning law may only be eighth grade Earth Rank, but even so, its destructive power is enough to pose a fatal threat to Nirvana Spirit cultivators. You haven’t yet grasped its full potential.” Luo Xiu called out, offering Lin Xun his guidance.

In the distance, Lin Xun fell into silence, carefully understanding the changes in violet lightning law power during the previous sword strike. After a brief pause, he suddenly looked up. The sword before him let out a clear hum as he raised it and slashed out once more.

This sword strike was clearly different from before. It was like a beam of violet light cutting through time itself, piercing the barriers of space, brimming with unstoppable power and radiating the might to destroy both heaven and earth.

Rumble!

Luo Xiu blocked the sword strike once more, but this time, he was forced backward, retreating several steps as a flicker of astonishment passed through his eyes.

“Excellent!” exclaimed Luo Xiao. “You’ve already grasped nearly sixty percent of the power of the violet lightning law. Even if it's only borrowed power for now, as long as you can wield it to its fullest, you’ll have no trouble killing Immortals at the Heavenly Longevity level. Even Nirvana Spirit Immortals may not be able to withstand it.”

Then, he patiently began explaining the intricacies of the violet lightning law to Lin Xun. Lin Xun listened intently, asking questions whenever something was unclear.

Law power was the foundation of immortal might. It was also the very source from which Immortal figures comprehended and forged their immortal laws. The higher the grade of a law power, the greater its might, and the more formidable the immortal laws it could forge.

In addition, borrowing law power required just as much care and understanding. For example, to borrow the violet lightning law of the Luo Clan, cultivators typically required mystic artifacts to establish a connection.

These mystic artifacts were refined from immortal matter and enabled cultivators to draw upon the power of the violet lightning law. What cultivators needed to do was fuse their own willpower into the artifact, thereby enabling them to harness the law power it contained.

For instance, the law power that once shrouded the Ancient Nebula Road was ‘borrowed’ by the Nameless Esteemed Emperor and Heavenly Emperor Shi. Similarly, the sword of law that Lu Boya gave Lin Xun before was also a form of ‘borrowed’ law power.

It was worth noting that the law power imprinted within such mystic artifacts was extremely limited. Excessive use would eventually deplete it completely. If law power was like a vast lake, then mystic artifacts were like vessels that could draw and store water from it.

Furthermore, like any container, there was a limit to how much they could hold. However, the ancient bronze seal Lin Xun wielded at this moment was no ordinary mystic artifact, but a law artifact.

This was because the very source of the Luo Clan’s violet lightning law had been refined into this ancient bronze seal! Borrowing power from this artifact was equivalent to tapping directly into the source of the violet lightning law, making it fundamentally different from ordinary mystic artifacts.

This was also why the ancient bronze seal had always been carried by the head of the Luo Clan and regarded as the clan’s most sacred treasure. Now, Lin Xun was using it to practice the techniques of borrowing law power.

After a long moment lost in thought, Lin Xun finally lifted his eyes. His expression was calm, neither sorrowful nor joyful, as he unleashed the third sword strike.

......

Time passed day after day. A month had passed since the combined forces of the Yao and Ling Clans were crushed.

One early morning, a report rang out:

“Report! Wen Tianshang, a Nirvana Spirit Immortal of the Wen Clan, has appeared outside Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, accompanied by several cultivators!”

The news immediately sent shockwaves through the entire Luo Clan. Wen Tianshang was an expert at the Nirvana Spirit Immortal Stage! His sudden arrival with a troop of formidable cultivators was an unmistakable sign of ill intent.

Luo Xiao, Lu Boya, Luo Xiu, Luo Yong and other core clan members gathered at once, their gazes fixed on the horizon beyond Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.

A tall, mysterious black chariot approached, drawn by nine ancient ferocious beasts. It stood beneath the vast sky, suffused with a divine radiance, like the celestial chariot of a god from beyond the heavens.

Behind the black chariot stood a group of formidable figures. Four were unmistakably Heavenly Longevity Immortals! Such a lineup was enough to strike fear into anyone’s heart.

“I came uninvited. I ask the fellow daoists of the Luo Clan to forgive my intrusion.”

A man stepped out from the chariot, clad in a black and gold battle robe that shimmered with a cold, dark sheen. Handsome in an eerie, almost bewitching way, he looked youthful yet exuded an ancient and terrifying aura. It was Wen Tianshang, a formidable old antique at the Nirvana Spirit Immortal Stage!

“Fellow Daoist, you lead your troops here to wage war against my Luo Clan?” Luo Xiao questioned, his voice cold and direct.

Wen Tianshang remained calm, standing with his hands behind his back atop the chariot. His domineering aura shook the nine heavens. “I’ve heard that the Fangchun Mountain remnant, Lin Xun, is sheltered within your clan. He has slain many of my clan members. Hand him over, and I shall leave without further trouble for the Luo Clan.”

In truth, Luo Xiao and the others had already guessed the purpose of the visit, but hearing it confirmed still left a heavy feeling in their hearts. They indeed came with ill intent!

“The downfall of the Yao and Ling Clans is still fresh in our memory. Does your Wen Clan intend to follow in their footsteps?” Lu Boya said coldly.

“Since we’ve dared to come at this moment, we’ve naturally made every preparation. Let me be blunt...if the Luo Clan insists on protecting Lin Xun, then from this day onward, you will be expelled from the Sixth Heaven Domain.” Wen Tianshang’s voice rang out from the black chariot, indifferent and steeped in absolute arrogance.

“Oh? With just you lot?” Lu Boya’s eyes gleamed with undisguised disdain.

“What if we joined as well?” an ethereal voice echoed through the air.

Far in the distance, a fiery red lotus boat tore through the air, blazing with dazzling flames like resplendent clouds. Atop the lotus boat stood over a dozen figures, led by an old man with wide, flowing sleeves. His bearing was calm and detached, untouched by the dust of the mortal world, as if he had transcended the mundane.

Heng Zonggu was a powerful Nirvana Spirit Immortal from the Heng Clan! His appearance sent a wave of shock through the crowd. No one dared to take him lightly. This man could sweep dozens of regions if he unleashed his power. He was absolutely terrifying!

The Heng Clan was widely renowned in the Sixth Heaven Domain with its might far surpassing that of ordinary Immortal Imperial Clans. Few dared to provoke such a colossus. Now, they had come too.

The hearts of the Luo Clan members sank. It was far too sudden. Two mighty Immortal Imperial Clans had appeared all at once, their forces pressing in on the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range!

“Fellow Daoist Tianshang is right. We’re only here for the boy, Lin Xun.” Heng Zonggu said coolly, his tone calm and casual.

The moment he spoke, everyone’s expressions changed. He too was after Lin Xun! Luo Xiao’s eyes narrowed, divine light surging within them as he asked coldly, “And what if my Luo Clan refuses?”

“Is it really worth sacrificing your entire clan for some irrelevant remnant of Fangchun Mountain?” Wen Tianshang asked nonchalantly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The expressions of the Luo Clan members kept shifting, their hearts gripped by an unprecedented sense of oppression.

“Are the two of you the only ones who’ve come?” Lu Boya asked.

“Of course not.” A hearty laugh rang out in the air.

Following the voice, members of the Immortal Imperial Hong Clan arrived. At their head was a graceful, youthful-looking man dressed in feathered robes, a golden feather fan in hand. Though he appeared elegant and dashing, his body exuded the terrifying aura of a Nirvana Spirit Immortal.

Hong Xuandu! It was said he had lived far longer than Wen Tianshang and Heng Zonggu. Though he looked like a youth, he was in truth an ancient monster who had survived for countless ages.

Just as Hong Xuandu arrived with his group, another wave of oppressive might swept in. The experts of the He Clan had also descended. In an instant, the atmosphere surrounding the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range grew even more stifling and tense.

“Where is Lin Xun? Why hasn’t he come out to die?!” The leader of the He Clan was a breathtakingly beautiful woman in a crimson daoist robe, yet her expression was icy cold and utterly ruthless.

He Wanzhen! She was another Nirvana Spirit Immortal! The moment she arrived with the He Clan experts, she openly declared her intent to kill Lin Xun, appearing incomparably domineering.

By this point, the forces of four Immortal Imperial Clans, Wen, Heng, Hong, and He, had already gathered outside the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range. The scene was like a tide of dark clouds engulfing a city, suffocating the air and crushing all hope.

However, it wasn’t over. From the distant sky, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, shaking heaven and earth.
