Chapter 91 The Law of Fusion!
Feng Sha's dimensional slash tore through space and hurtled towards Lin Yun.
He used all his strength in that strike. The azure blade light contained an ultimate cutting force of dimensional mystery; wherever it passed, space was torn apart like cloth, emitting a piercing buzzing sound. Even before the blade light arrived, the ice beneath Lin Yun's feet had already been cleaved into countless bottomless cracks by the dissipating spatial power.
Lin Yun no longer had the strength to dodge.
His mental energy was nearly exhausted, his physical strength was depleted, and his body was covered in wounds. His dragon form was on the verge of collapse, and his azure scales were falling off one by one, revealing the bloody and mangled skin beneath. His left arm hung limply at his side, and his right leg was trembling incessantly, with blood gushing from dozens of wounds, pooling into a red pool of ice crystals at his feet.
But he did not close his eyes.
In that life-or-death moment, his mind was crystal clear. Fear, anger, resentment—all emotions vanished, leaving only a pure, unadulterated desire to live.
"We must not die."
Lin Yun gritted his teeth and sank his consciousness into the depths of his soul.
There, fragments of the rules of death spun slowly in the darkness like black stars. He hadn't used this trump card in a long time—not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. The necromancer was the common enemy of all forces on the Yulan Continent; once exposed, the Church of Light, the Church of Darkness, and even the God of War wouldn't let him go.
But now, he can't care about that anymore.
"Summoning the Undead - Gate to the Netherworld!"
Lin Yun's soul power transformed into an invisible blade, tearing open a door in the void. A ghostly blue light surged from the door, illuminating an area of dozens of meters around it, turning the white ice field into an eerie blue-purple hue.
Three powerful auras surged out from the door.
First to charge was the undead knight "Shadow." It rode a similarly undead warhorse, its body covered in black bone armor, a hollow face beneath its helmet, and eerie blue flames flickering in its eye sockets. In its hand it gripped a rusty longsword, its blade wreathed in a dense aura of the dead. The warhorse reared up, letting out a silent neigh, and charged towards Windfury.
Immediately afterward, the necromancer floated out of the door. Hovering in the air, it wore a tattered black robe and held a bone staff. A dark green gem was inlaid at the top of the staff, emitting an eerie glow. Ghostly green flames flickered in its eye sockets. With a swing of the staff, necromancy spells coalesced in the air—clouds of corruption, curses of aging, and shrieks of souls—and blasted towards the Earthly Fiend.
Finally, the bone dragon squeezed out of the door. It was tens of meters long, its bones a deep black, its wingspan blotting out the sky. Dark red flames danced in its eye sockets, radiating a savage and powerful aura. It spread its enormous bone wings and pounced on Feng Sha, its sharp bone claws tearing through the air with a piercing whistling sound.
Three undead beings at the peak of the Saint Realm launched an attack simultaneously.
Wind Fiend's Dimensional Slash was forced to change direction, heading straight for the Bone Dragon. The azure blade collided with the Bone Dragon's bones, producing a piercing metallic sound and sparks flying. Two of the Bone Dragon's ribs were severed, and its massive body was jerked backward, but its bone claws left a deep scratch on Wind Fiend's shoulder.
"Damn it!" Feng Sha cursed, his figure flashing as he dodged the bone dragon's second attack.
The undead knight Shadow seized the opportunity to charge forward, his longsword aimed at Wind Fiend's back. Wind Fiend reacted swiftly, his scimitar sweeping back and deflecting Shadow's sword. But Shadow's warhorse reared up, kicking Wind Fiend in the chest. Wind Fiend was kicked back several steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"These undead are a bit troublesome!" Feng Sha gritted his teeth and said.
On the other side, the battle between the Earthly Fiends and the Necromancers intensified.
The necromancer's corrupting cloud enveloped an area of several dozen meters around Di Sha, the gray mist containing the corrosive power of the rules of death. Under the erosion of the corrupting cloud, the earthen-yellow battle aura of Di Sha began to show fine cracks. He had to increase the output of his battle aura to maintain his defense.
"Curse of Aging!" The necromancer swung his bone staff, and a gray beam of light shot towards the Earthly Fiend.
Di Sha raised his shield to block, but the gray light struck the shield and instantly spread outwards. Di Sha felt his body suddenly become heavy, his limbs weak, as if he had aged hundreds of years in an instant. His speed decreased drastically, and his reactions became sluggish.
"This is... the curse of aging?" Di Sha's expression changed.
The necromancer's third spell followed immediately—"Soul Scream." An invisible sound wave emanated from the tip of the bone staff, piercing deep into the soul of the Earthly Fiend. The Earthly Fiend's consciousness jolted violently, and his vision blurred. His shield drooped, revealing a momentary opening.
It's now!
The Bone Dragon abandoned its attack on the Wind Fiend, turned abruptly, and swept its massive bone tail across the Earth Fiend. The Earth Fiend had no time to dodge and was struck in the waist by the bone tail, sending it flying and crashing heavily onto the ice, creating a crater several meters deep.
A look of shock flashed in Feng Sha's eyes. He hadn't expected that these three undead at the peak of the Saint Realm could coordinate so well, forcing the two brothers into this predicament.
"Old Ghost, are you alright?" Feng Sha shouted.
The Earthly Fiend crawled out of the ice pit, blood trickling from his mouth, his eyes filled with rage. He brushed the ice shards off his body and raised his shield again.
"It's nothing. These undead are nothing special."
He's right.
Although the Bone Dragon is powerful, several of its bones had been severed by Wind Fiend's Dimensional Slash in the previous battle, making it sluggish. While the Shadow Undead Knight's swordsmanship is fierce, its strength is no match for a living peak-level Saint. Although the Necromancer's magic is unpredictable, its defense is extremely weak; once caught in close combat, certain death is certain.
"Take care of the Bone Dragon first!" Feng Sha ordered.
He flashed and appeared above the bone dragon's head. The azure light on his scimitar surged to its peak, and a massive dimensional slash descended from the bone dragon's neck.
"Click—"
The bone dragon's head snapped off with a crash, and its massive body collapsed to the ground. Dark red necromantic flames flickered from its severed neck, waving in the wind before extinguishing. The bone dragon's bones scattered across the ground, turning into ordinary, withered skeletons.
The undead knight Shadow charged forward, his longsword aimed at Windfury's chest. Windfury dodged to the side, and with a backhand slash, severed the foreleg of Shadow's warhorse. The horse collapsed, and Shadow tumbled from its back. Windfury stomped on its chest, his scimitar plunging into its eye socket, instantly extinguishing the eerie blue flames.
Seeing the situation was dire, the necromancer brandished his bone staff, attempting to flee back to the gates of the underworld. But the Earthly Fiend had already reached him, its shield slamming into his body.
"boom--"
The necromancer's body was smashed to pieces; his bone staff shattered, and the dark green gem rolled onto the ice. Eerie green flames flickered in the air before vanishing completely.
The three undead at the peak of the Saint Realm were summoned and all perished in less than three minutes.
Lin Yun's heart sank to the bottom. He hadn't expected these three undead to defeat the Wind Fiend and the Earth Fiend; he just wanted to buy some time for him to recover some of his mental strength. But to his surprise, they couldn't even last three minutes.
"Any other tricks up your sleeve?" Feng Sha turned around, looking at Lin Yun with mockery in his eyes. He was also injured—the scratches on his shoulder were still bleeding, and the spot on his chest where the warhorse had kicked him was throbbing. But these injuries meant nothing to him.
"Necromancer, Holy Mage, Dragonblood Warrior..." Feng Sha walked towards Lin Yun step by step, the blue light on his scimitar shining again. "You know quite a few tricks, but you're not proficient in any of them. That's your problem—you've learned too many things, and you haven't mastered any of them."
"Before absolute power, no amount of tricks will work." Di Sha also stepped forward, raising his shield to block Feng Sha. "Prepare to die."
Lin Yun stood still, motionless.
His mind was racing.
Seven elements of laws, fourteen profound mysteries, each only an introductory level. Against ancient monsters like the Wind Fiend and the Earth Fiend, who have lived for five thousand years, his Seven Elements Cycle was utterly ineffective.
The rules of death, the summoning of the undead, and the three undead at the peak of the Saint Realm couldn't even last two minutes.
What else?
What else does he have?
Lin Yun closed his eyes, and countless images flashed through his mind.
In the world of Swallowed Star, when he practiced the Phantom Blade Technique, the profound mysteries of the light law's refraction and the wind law's clone technique once resonated in a wondrous way. That was when he unleashed the two mysteries simultaneously, dozens of solid clones appeared within the blade light, each one as real as the original, and even he himself could not distinguish which one was the main body.
But that was just a fluke. He tried many more times after that, but never succeeded again.
"What if... we could combine these two profound mysteries?"
The thought flashed through Lin Yun's mind like lightning.
In the world of Panlong, only those with mutated souls can achieve the profound fusion of different laws. For example, Olivia, after her soul mutated, could fuse the laws of light and darkness. Linley, after his soul mutated, could fuse the profound mysteries of four different laws: earth, fire, water, and wind.
He is not a soul mutant. But his soul has accumulated over three lifetimes and been tempered by the small cauldron, making it much stronger and more special than that of an ordinary person.
"Maybe... I can?"
Lin Yun opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
Feng Sha's scimitar was already slashing towards him.
The blue light of the blade tore through the air, less than three feet from his throat.
Lin Yun did not dodge. He raised his longsword to meet the curved blade. But just as the two blades were about to collide, his sword suddenly became ethereal.
The laws of light—the mysteries of refraction.
The Wind Element Law – The Mysterious Art of Cloning.
Two profound mysteries were forcibly merged together at this moment.
The blade flashed and exploded.
Not one, not two, but dozens.
Each blade of light was like a real longsword, slashing towards Feng Sha from different angles. They had substance, temperature, and power—not illusions, but real blade light, an existence between reality and illusion, woven from light and wind.
Feng Sha's pupils suddenly contracted. He had lived for five thousand years and seen countless powerful figures, but he had never seen such an attack. Those sword lights were neither illusions nor physical entities, but a completely new power generated by the fusion of two laws.
He swung his sword with all his might to block, but there were too many blades, and the angles were too tricky. He blocked more than a dozen, but was still struck in the body by the remaining blades.
"Puff puff puff—"
Blood splattered everywhere. Dozens of wounds, deep enough to expose bone, appeared on Feng Sha's body. His scimitar flew out of his hand, and he was blasted away, crashing heavily onto the ice, creating a large crater.
"Big Brother!" Di Sha's expression changed completely.
He rushed forward, raising his shield to block Lin Yun's next attack. But Lin Yun's blade had already turned towards him.
Dozens of identical blades slashed at Di Sha from all directions. Di Sha's shield blocked the front, but the blades struck from the sides, above, and below simultaneously. Dozens of wounds appeared on his body, his shield flew out of his hand, and he was blasted away, crashing next to Feng Sha.
The ice field fell silent.
Wind Fiend and Earth Fiend lay on the ice, covered in blood, unable to move. Their eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.
"What...what is this..." Feng Sha's voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible. "It's not an illusion...it's not a physical entity...this is...a fusion of laws?"
Di Sha struggled to stand up, but the wounds on his body made it impossible for him to exert any strength. Most of his battle aura had been scattered by the previous attack, and his shield had flown dozens of meters away.
"Impossible!" the Earthly Fiend roared.
Lin Yun stood there, panting heavily. His mental energy was almost exhausted, and his body was trembling uncontrollably. But in his eyes, a light he had never seen before shone.
"A soul mutant?" Lin Yun murmured. "I'm not, but my soul is more special than you can imagine."
He looked down at his hands. His fingers were trembling, not from fear, but from excitement.
The move he just used was the final move of the Phantom Blade Technique—a fusion of the profound mysteries of the light element's refraction and the wind element's clone technique, forming dozens of blade lights that existed between illusion and reality. Those blade lights were neither illusions nor physical entities, but rather a completely new power generated by the fusion of the two elements.
The power of this force far surpasses any of his previous moves. The power of the fusion of two different profound laws is more than ten times that of the fusion of the same profound laws.
"Go!" Feng Sha struggled to his feet, grabbed Di Sha, and tried to escape.
But Lin Yun didn't give them a chance.
He took a deep breath and concentrated his last bit of spiritual energy into the longsword. On the blade, azure wind blades and white light simultaneously shone—the two laws were forcibly merged once more.
"Phantom Blade Technique—"
The blade flashed again.
Dozens of sword lights, each containing the power of the laws of wind and light.
The wind and earth spirits were overwhelmed by the light of the sword.
"ah--"
The screams echoed across the icy plains before abruptly ceasing.
The glint of the blades faded.
Wind Fiend and Earth Fiend lay on the ice, covered in blood and unconscious. Their bodies were covered with deep, bone-revealing wounds, their fighting spirit completely dissipated, and their life force was rapidly fading away.
Lin Yun stood there, panting heavily. His vision blurred, and he swayed precariously.
"It's over," he murmured.
He walked to the side of Feng Sha and Di Sha, and looked down at the two old monsters who had lived for five thousand years. Their faces still showed the horror and resentment they had before their death!
Lin Yun squatted down and took the spatial rings off the two people's fingers.
He stood up, looked at the southern horizon, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
His journey to the Arctic ice fields nearly cost him his life. But it also brought him much more—advances in the seven elements of profound mystery, a breakthrough in the rules of death, and most importantly—the fusion of laws.
"The fusion of light refraction and wind clone techniques... this is just the beginning."
Since he can fuse these two profound mysteries, he can fuse others as well. Light and wind, lightning and fire, earth and water... different laws are intricately connected. As long as he finds that connection point, he can fuse them.
"I need to study this carefully when I get back," Lin Yun thought to himself.
He took a deep breath, took out a spirit of grass and wood from his spatial ring and put it in his mouth. It then transformed into a stream of light and flew south.
Behind them, the ice and snow of the Arctic ice field glittered in the sunlight. The corpses of the Wind Fiend and the Earth Fiend had vanished into the snowstorm, as if they had never existed.
