Outside the temple, peace returned again, but Mu Hanyan frowned.
Guan Xiu Jin was right. This magic was endless. If she continued like this, she would eventually run out of energy and would have to surrender to Guan Xiu Jin and the others sooner or later.
If she really reached the end of her rope, it would be fine for her to give in, but this was only the second level of the trial. She had not yet uncovered the secret hidden in the Soul Palace. It would be a pity to give up like this.
No, we can't go on like this, otherwise we will be dragged down sooner or later.
"Stars fall, the world is in ruins!" Mu Hanyan drew out the Hanxiao Sword and slashed towards a divine spell.
Since sheer defense wasn't the answer, she had no choice but to attack. Of course, attacking consumed more energy than defending, and if she still couldn't completely eliminate these spells, she would only fall faster. But if she wasn't even trying and was simply worn down like this, Mu Hanyan wouldn't accept it.
A flash of fire flashed past, and the blazing spear pierced the oncoming cone of ice. Feeling that Guan Xiujin and the others were watching her with their divine consciousness, Mu Hanyan didn't dare to use her sword skills. In reality, this icy spell was only equivalent to the attack of an eighth-level soul priest. Its power alone was not great, and her combat power was more than enough to deal with it.
The magic of light and the magic of ice are incompatible. The victory or defeat depends entirely on the strength. There is no luck or accident. Logically, Mu Hanyan's fire spear can easily break it, but an unexpected and surprising scene still happened. The fire spear pierced into the ice cone, but it was like sinking into the sea. The ice cone that was flashing with a biting cold light did not change at all.
"How could this happen!" Mu Hanyan was shocked.
Just when she was inexplicably surprised, the ice cone had already arrived in front of her and hit the Hanxiao Sword in her hand heavily. Mu Hanyan was caught off guard and the Hanxiao Sword almost slipped out of her hand.
However, at the moment when the ice cone hit the Hanxiao Sword, Mu Hanyan felt the mystery of the law of ice that covered thousands of miles.
Mu Hanyan was certainly no stranger to the Law of Ice. When she obtained the seventh Destiny Star Plate in the Black Wood Prison, she had already comprehended it thoroughly and perfectly integrated it with the Law of Light and the Law of Earth, and defeated Zhan Yuan with it in one fell swoop.
Mu Hanyan almost instinctively concentrated her spiritual thoughts, using the Hanxiao Sword as a medium to merge into the ice cone.
Although she didn't know the specific icy magic that formed this cone of ice, as long as the laws remained unchanged, all temples would reach the same destination. In just a moment, she sensed the fundamental mystery of this magic. With a thought, the cone of ice froze, as if held tightly by an invisible hand, and hovered in mid-air.
Mu Hanyan shook her sword slightly, and spider-web-like cracks spread across the ice cone. Then, with a crackling sound, it turned into tiny ice crystals that scattered on the ground, and then turned into misty vapor and disappeared between heaven and earth.
"So easy!" Even Mu Hanyan herself did not expect that she could break the magic so easily. Even the sword that fell from the wilderness was unnecessary.
Amid the whistling wind, a shower of meteors fell from the sky and was right above our heads in the blink of an eye.
This time, Mu Hanyan didn't resort to defensive energy, nor did she attempt to force her way through. Instead, she thrust her sword forward steadily. All her understanding of the Law of Light, along with her divine consciousness, was condensed into this single strike.
There was a flash of sword light in the air, and the meteor shower stopped, and then it turned into thousands of sparks and disappeared like a blooming firework.
"So that's how it is!" Mu Hanyan finally understood that this second level of trial was not testing one's character and will, nor one's strength, but rather one's understanding of the laws.
If one does not have a sufficient understanding of the laws, no matter how strong one is, sooner or later one will be dragged down by the endless stream of divine arts. If one comprehends the laws thoroughly, one can easily break through them without any effort.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have had to fight so hard just now. Mu Hanyan wanted to give herself a few slaps on the face.
Knowing the secrets of this level of the trial, Mu Hanyan felt completely relieved. Although she had only fully comprehended three laws, she was not completely ignorant of the others. In fact, she had been constantly trying to comprehend them, and her understanding of them surpassed that of many high-level Divine Heart Priests. If performed individually, each law's divine art was quite powerful, but she simply couldn't combine them together.
Another divine spell came, this time it was the spell of life. Mu Hanyan subconsciously raised the sword again, ready to break it in one fell swoop.
But just as she was about to make a move, Mu Hanyan suddenly changed her mind.
Last time, it was because she passed the first level of the trial so easily that Guan Xiujing and others became wary, fearing that she would take advantage of them, and were reluctant to open the second level of restrictions. In the end, it was thanks to the help of Gao Weilong and Kong Renhe, two "good guys", that they made up their minds.
If this happens again this time, even if those two "good guys" help to speak up, I'm afraid Guan Xiujing and others will not be tempted.
They must be made to believe that they have gone through many hardships to pass the second level of the test, and they must even be made to believe that this is their limit, and if they do not give in at the third level, they will only die.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan's eyes rolled around and she once again circulated her spiritual power to protect her whole body.
One after another, divine arts bombarded the shield condensed by her spiritual power, making loud noises, and the momentum was no weaker than before. However, Mu Hanyan clearly felt that except after she dissolved the Law of Ice and the Law of Light, these two divine arts had no power at all when they fell on her again.
Previously, she had resisted all kinds of laws and magic with all their might, but now that their power has been greatly reduced, it is even less likely that they will pose a serious threat to her.
"Ah..." But just as the last divine spell exploded, Mu Hanyan gasped, staggered back a few steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood... Oh no, it was a mouthful of blood berries. Gao Weihu hadn't used up all of it last time, so she had saved some to eat as a snack. It could come in handy at a critical moment, and now it was coming in handy again.
Although Guan Xiujing and others' spiritual power was far inferior to hers and they might not be able to see the scenes in the Palace of Spirits, but when it came to acting, of course the more realistic it was, the better.
Hearing Mu Hanyan's muffled groan and the sound of blood spitting out from her mouth, Guan Xiujin and others all looked delighted.
"Mu Hanyan, it's still not too late to ask for help. If you continue to hold on, it will not be as simple as vomiting blood." Guan Xiujin shouted.
"You...you guys just give up. I can still hold on." Mu Hanyan gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, while swallowing the blood in her mouth...oh, it was the blood berries. Don't say it, it was sour and sweet, and tasted pretty good.
