Wizard, I have a game board.

Chapter 358 Competing for the Eighth-Order Law Treasure

November 17, 12737 in the Wizarding Calendar.

The vortex plane is located in the center of the sea, in the void about five spatial nodes above the sea level.

"Judging by the time, the strange fluctuations of the first eighth-order law treasure are about to disappear." Lor stopped reflecting on the origin container, slowly opened his eyes, and used the space jump spell to jump westward.

According to his initial calculations, in five years, a supreme treasure of dark laws located in the western part of the vortex plane would be born.

Because there might be some discrepancies between the calculations and the actual results, he didn't dare to go exactly on time and could only go ahead of schedule.

It is worth mentioning that, not long after, the eighth-order wind-elemental treasure that he first encountered will be born.

If I could acquire both of these eighth-tier Law Treasures, I reckon I could add another Root of Life to the Abyss.

Above the western part of the vortex plane, there is a vortex with a diameter of over 10,000 miles, which looks like an abyss when viewed from above.

The 175 Tide Spirits gazed at the Law Treasure, which was about ten miles long and three miles wide and resembled a pitch-black curtain, and their breathing became slightly rapid.

As they continuously erode the barrier surrounding the treasure of the law, they also become increasingly wary of each other.

Outside the defensive barrier they jointly constructed, nearly two hundred seventh-tier beings gathered in small groups, intently sensing the area within the joint defensive barrier.

Furthermore, seventh-tier beings continued to fly or tear open spatial rifts to reach the outer perimeter, waiting for the Tide Spirits to descend into chaos.

Of these nearly one hundred seventh-tier beings, at least half possessed supreme treasures of the laws.

In fact, if they attacked the joint defense barrier together, they could suppress the 175 Tide Spirits inside and then forcibly seize the eighth-tier treasure.

However, since the Tide Spirit is virtually unkillable, a direct, forceful attack can easily entangle you.

Afterwards, those tide spirits can summon a bunch of helpers, and if you're not careful, more than half of them might end up here.

Besides, they themselves couldn't work together. There was only one eighth-order law treasure, so who would get it if they managed to snatch it?
Due to a combination of factors, the only option is to wait for the Tide Spirits to fall into internal strife first, and then each of them will have to rely on their own abilities to seize the spoils.

"Look, Robbie, the number one genius of the Yunyou Civilization this generation, has arrived. I heard that his Cloud Tide Law strength has reached 176, which ranks among the top five of all the beings who have arrived so far."

"This person is accompanied by a seventh-level cultivator of the Space Faction. If I could also find a Space Faction cultivator to team up with, the chances of seizing an eighth-level Law Treasure would be dozens of times greater, and the chances of seizing a seventh-level Law Treasure would be hundreds of times greater."

"Heh, those spatial factions have very high standards. You think you can team up with them if your law strength is less than 150? Dream on!"

“Those guys deserve to die!” one creature said indignantly. “It’s one thing to have a high status outside, but in the vortex plane’s sea, even though the tide spirits are supposed to be very effective against them, their status has not only not decreased, but has actually increased.”

"Indeed, I estimate that any spatial faction cultivator who has comprehended the spatial jump law will receive at least ten law points this time, even if they are weak."

"Stop talking about the spatial faction cultivators, I'm tired of hearing it. Do you want to bet with me on who will obtain the Law Treasure this time?" Some beings even started a betting pool: "The stakes aren't high, the minimum is 0.001 Law Value. Youfeng Civilization guarantees it, so bet with confidence, we won't run away."

"I bet on Gray code, the 0.005 rule value."

"I bet Norbert, the 0.01 rule value."

I bet.

The being who opened the betting pool seemed to be quite famous; as soon as he spoke, many seventh-tier beings placed their bets via telepathy.

Just as all living beings were placing their bets with great enthusiasm, another spatial rift opened up in the void behind them.

At first, no one paid any attention, after all, there were more than ten spatial faction cultivators gathered here, and they were everywhere, so there was nothing surprising about it.

But when they sensed a very familiar figure emanating the aura of a sixth-order life form emerging from the spatial rift, they were immediately stunned.

"Am I seeing things? He really came?"

"When I first saw someone post on the civilization information exchange list about coming to the Vortex Plane Sea, I thought it was nonsense, but this..."

"I don't care about any of that. I only care about one thing: could it be that he really mastered a supreme treasure of laws at the sixth rank?"

"How is that possible? There's never been a precedent before!"

"There has never been a sixth-tier being as strong as him before."

"This"

"No, to control a supreme treasure of laws, one must materialize the rudimentary form of the law. To materialize the rudimentary form of the law, one must break through to the seventh rank. This is completely different from whether it is strong or not, and they cannot be confused at all."

"Nonsense. If he didn't control a supreme treasure of the laws, would he dare to come to the Vortex Plane Sea? We are mindful of his identity, but the Tide Spirits won't."

The seventh-order beings were stunned for a moment, and then erupted into an uproar.

Questions and arguments filled the entire void through sensory transmission.

Lor, who had just arrived here, naturally heard it as well.

He had no intention of answering these guys' questions; it was pointless. He simply silently projected his perception along the unfolding virtual-real barrier towards the joint defense barrier located nearly ten million miles away.

Based on his prior observations, if the strange fluctuations continue to contract at the current rate, they will likely be completely contracted in about three years.

There was a slight discrepancy between his initial estimate of five years and the actual timeframe, but the error was minor and within expectations.

As for why he appeared here instead of spreading his perception from a hundred million miles away through a virtual space.

The reason is that if he doesn't show himself, the Realm of Illusion and Reality might be broken by these guys, and then a few curious beings from the Space faction would follow the traces of the Realm of Illusion and Reality to find it, causing unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings, which is also unnecessary.

The seventh-tier beings were quite disappointed to see that Lor ignored their discussion. They dared not probe any further and instead switched to point-to-point telepathy to discuss countermeasures with their teammates.

"I think we can change our target a little. While fighting for the Dark Heaven, we should pay more attention to those who transcend time and space. If they are in danger, we might be willing to do them a favor."

"That's true. Our chances of obtaining the Dark Heaven are already low. If we fail, we'll have come for nothing. If we can actually save him, it won't be a loss."

"agree."

"Our target is the Dark Heaven. Remember, during the struggle, make sure you don't involve that person, otherwise..."

"What a nuisance. He could easily gain over 11,000 Law Points every 10,000 years if he just stayed in the plane cluster and didn't break through. Why would he risk his life to compete with us for a Law Treasure?"

"Complaining is pointless; his arrival is a fact, and there's no way to change it."

"understood."

Among the seventh-tier beings, some wanted to save the trans-temporal beings by doing them a favor, while others disliked it, finding it a nuisance, but had no choice but to accept it.

The only thing they had in common was that no one believed that a trans-temporal transcendent could snatch the eighth-tier Dark Law treasure, Dark Heaven.

After all, no matter what, this one is only at the sixth rank, so it's really unrealistic for him to compete with them.

After discussing the countermeasures, nearly ten seventh-tier beings all sank their senses into the second world and unanimously informed each other again of the news that the spacetime transgressors had appeared in the vortex plane sea.

Of course, they didn't provide specific coordinates, and the competitive pressure is already high enough.

With each additional person arriving, their chances of securing the Dark Heaven decrease.

Unlike before, this time, due to the large number of beings posting, several of whom were quite well-known and confirmed to be from the Vortex Plane Sea, the beings who saw the posts gradually shifted from complete disbelief to skepticism.

Time flies, and another three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the number of Tide Spirits inside the joint defense shield remained unchanged, but the number of seventh-tier beings outside the joint defense shield had unknowingly increased from less than one hundred to three hundred and twenty-seven.

More than half of the creatures were focusing their attention on the eighth-order dark-elemental treasure. Based on the contraction speed of the strange fluctuations, the tidal spirits would start fighting on their own in about a minute.

At that time, it will be the opportunity to compete for the supreme treasure of the laws.

The remaining half of the creatures focused their attention on Lor, hoping he would encounter danger so they could rescue him.

Lor took a deep breath and accelerated time to its maximum, making everything around him slow down immensely.

He then focused his mental energy on the spatial magic model, ready to activate the spatial jump magic at any time to seize that dark-eighth-tier law treasure.

50
30
0.

The moment the strange fluctuations completely contracted, the Tide Spirits within the joint defense barrier abandoned their efforts to maintain the barrier's existence and leisurely pounced towards the Dark Sky located at its center.

At the same time, the joint defense barrier fluctuated slightly due to their movements.

Thousand-pulse Chakra
The roar of words
Wind-induced siphon
The vast majority of seventh-tier beings outside the defensive barrier unleashed various terrifyingly powerful secret techniques, bombarding the combined defensive barrier directly.

The remaining few beings from the spatial faction tore open a spatial rift and went straight to the eighth-order law treasure.

However, none of them had any intention of bringing their teammates in right now, because the joint defense barrier had not yet been truly broken.

If we go in now, we will definitely be trapped inside, and there is a very high probability that we will be crushed by the concentrated fire of those tide spirits in the first instant. The risk is too high.

Lor was also in no hurry, silently watching the battle taking place within the joint defense and the various laws and secret techniques that were slowly approaching the joint defense barrier.

"Boom—Boom—Crack crack crack—"

One after another, the secret techniques of law struck the defensive barrier, instantly shattering the already unstable barrier.

Some of the secret techniques of law were not completely neutralized by the defensive barrier and continued to bombard the Tide Spirits.

The Tide Spirits paid no heed to the fact that their kin had already obtained the Law Treasure and were trying to escape.

They won't die, so it's pointless for them to be distracted by attacks from other creatures. The right thing to do is to seize the treasure first.

Meanwhile, the Tide Spirit that had already seized the treasure desperately plummeted into the vortex. As long as it was the first to enter the vortex sea, the probability of keeping the treasure would be more than 20%.

At that moment, Lor immediately diverted some of his mental energy to activate the Great Collapse Technique before the other spatial faction beings could react.

"Kakaka-"

Centered on the Tide Spirit that seized the treasure of the laws, the space within a million miles around it shattered.

With the spatial collapse caused by the law intensity reaching 55 points, all the bodies of the Tide Spirits turned to ashes, and the eighth-order law treasure, Dark Heaven, remained suspended in place.

None of these tidal spirits possessed seventh-order law treasures, so naturally they couldn't stop his spatial collapse.

However, it only disappears for a moment, and then it will come back to life in the next moment.

In that instant, almost no seventh-tier being could catch him, but naturally, this did not include Lor, who had activated 6666 times the time acceleration.

Before the Tide Spirit could revive, before the second attack from the other seventh-tier beings arrived, and before the space faction beings opened a spatial rift next to the Law Treasure, the space faction beings seized the opportunity.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lor immediately cast a space jump spell, leaping to the side of Dark Sky and easily lifting it behind him with a gravity spell.

Then they re-entered the spatial rift and returned to their original position.

Then, he released a spatial jump spell outside ten spatial nodes and fled.

Treasure is tempting, but he dared not gamble on whether any envious seventh-tier beings would try to take advantage of him, so he simply didn't give them the chance at all.

When it comes to strategic withdrawal, no one understands it better than him.

After Lor completed this series of actions, the Tide Spirit revived, and the second round of secret techniques from a group of seventh-tier beings was released one after another.

The fastest attacks on the Tide Spirits were spatial secret techniques that distorted and reshaped space, causing them to die and revive again and again.

It was at this moment that all the seventh-order beings discovered something: the eighth-order dark-elemental treasure, Dark Heaven, was gone.

"Wait, where did the supreme treasure of laws go?"

Who got it?

"I think I sensed that the Time-Space Limit Exceeding Being lingered there for a moment, and then the treasure disappeared. If I'm not mistaken, the one who took the treasure was most likely the Time-Space Limit Exceeding Being."

"How can it be?!!"

"I could barely sense it too."

"The time-space transgressor has disappeared!"

"This"

"Oh my God."

Most of the seventh-order beings didn't even realize what had just happened; only a handful of beings gave their answers in a shocked tone.

Even if the answer is so outrageous that even they themselves are reluctant to believe it, the fact remains the fact, and they have no choice but to believe it.

"Actually, we overlooked one thing: the Time-Space Limit Breaker is not simply a space cultivator, but a dual-system cultivator of time and space. He has never demonstrated the power of time-based secret arts in the arena before, so we subconsciously forgot about it."

"Yes, that's right, the Time faction!"

"I knew the time faction would be absurd, but is it a bit too absurd to this extent?"

"I didn't even sense him just now. He's a sixth-level cultivator, yet he managed to evade my senses with his speed. Even a dual-element cultivator of the Wind and Light element with a speed law strength of over 200 wouldn't be able to do that, right?"

"I remember now, more than two hundred years ago, a being posted on the civilization information exchange list that the seventh-tier law treasure it had been hoarding for over a hundred years had suddenly disappeared, its whereabouts unknown. Could it be..."

"Hiss—it's confirmed, it really is that person, everything makes sense now."

"Oh, what a pity."

"Yes."

The identity of the person who stole the treasure of the law has been confirmed, but the group of seventh-order beings looked helpless and sighed repeatedly.

If other creatures manage to snatch it, they can try to chase after them and take it back.

But the person who manages to snatch it is a time-space transcendent being, so there's no way to catch them.
