1527 Breaking past the Law Barrier!
Without even realizing it, night came and the land was covered in inky darkness.
There was a slight breeze up on the mountain, making the trees and leaves sway and rustle gently in the wind. Xia Fan, Bright Pearl and Traveling Buddha were lying under the pomegranate tree, enjoying the peaceful tranquility around them. They could feel a sharp clarity in their minds, as all the tiniest sounds, from the flowing stream to the fishes swimming and splashing echoed clearly in their ears.
A very comfortable sensation was flushing all over their bodies, feeling the movement of a mysterious energy, as if it was trying to teach Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha to fly.
The crystal pomegranate seeds had a strange fragrance that seeped into their very bones, while at the same time shrouding them in some mysterious energy.
Their physical forms were rapidly strengthening, as a transparent substance began to form on the surface of their skins. It looked like glue as it oozed out from their pores. It was as if the impurities from their bodies’ metabolism were being expelled from them.
Suddenly, Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan felt a tremendous shock inside their bodies. Their bones seemed to be resonating with their internal organs, and their heartbeats hastened. Like they had been electrocuted, they felt an explosion in their chests that caused blood to gush about like water breaking an embankment, rushing endlessly as it desperately tried to surge toward their seventh brain region.
Xia Fan opened his mouth and let out a scream, but no sound came out. He felt as if there was something akin to a wall in his mind. After the energy surged toward the seventh brain region, it began to meet with a strong resistance.
Nevertheless, the mysterious energy of the crystal did not give up. It increased the speed and began its assault in strength, wave after wave. It was like a turbulent wave crashing against the shore!
*Boom*
*Boom!*
*BOOM!*
His brain was shocked so intensely that Xia Fan could not hear any sounds around him, he could only feel himself getting more and more dizzy. The situation was quite alarming, a hundred times more frightening than when Blind Grandpa helped Xia Fan forcibly open his seventh brain region.
But Xia Fan was no longer who he used to be. His physical constitution had completely evolved, and he was able to withstand even such a violent surge of energy. Beside him, Traveling Buddha had broken out in cold sweat; it seemed like he was having a harder time.
Only Pearl was different. She was a dragon, and did not have a Law Barrier or a seventh brain region. After consuming the crystals, the only sensation Pearl felt was comfort. It was like being held in her mother’s warm embrace, a drowsy feeling that made her feel like falling asleep.
—
Not long after, Xia Fan suddenly opened his eyes. A scorching beam of light shot out, the universal symbol of breakthrough. His Law Barrier had been broken!
Xia Fan’s entire body convulsed with a bang!
The mysterious energy had broken past the barrier in his brain. Instantly, he experienced a new clarity to his vision and hearing. His eyes glowed even more radiantly, becoming as powerful as a deity!
Xia Fan understood that it was a sign that he had broken through his Law Barrier. He could feel a complete upgrade to his physical constitution, becoming fiercer and faster. In the blink of an eye, he felt as if he had broken free from his shackles, becoming even more nimble on his feet, his senses even keener. His entire body shivered ever so slightly.
The signs on Traveling Buddha differed from what Xia Fan had experienced. His entire body had turned radiant, the rarely-seen golden glow now as incandescent as the sun. Compared to Xia Fan’s growth, which was mostly internal, Traveling Buddha’s growth was much more visible on the outside. Perhaps it was due to the different special abilities the two possessed.
However, both of them had broken free from the shackles of life thanks to the aid of the mysterious crystals, smashing through their respective Law Barriers and attaining an unprecedented upgrade to their power.
“This feeling…” Traveling Buddha opened his eyes, his entire person absolutely excited. He let out a loud shout, “Yours truly feels that I’m able to shatter the sun in one punch right now!”
Xia Fan lowered his gaze, examining his hands. He felt as if there was a ferocious tiger hiding inside his body, roaring into the mountains and forest, eager to unleash his burgeoning might. The sensation of having such immense power was akin to a river that stretched for miles, constantly flowing, able to push himself to reach the limits of speed!
“ARGHHH!” Traveling Buddha let out a loud yell, a guttural bellow. He was originally a Battle Buddha Titan, and now that he was blazing with extremely fierce energy, even if some god or Buddha were to stand in front of him, he would still unleash himself upon them!
Pearl blinked. Seeing Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha letting out bellows consecutively, prompted her to purse her lips in displeasure. It was as if Xia and Traveling Buddha both had their blood pumping after eating the crystals, but she did not feel a reaction anywhere near as intensely as they did. They had all clearly eaten the same mysterious crystals, yet the effects differed greatly. Pearl felt that it was unfair, almost as if her improvements were not comparable to what the two humans had experienced.
“So this is what it feels like to be rid of the Law Barrier!” Xia Fan got up and stood proudly on top of the mountain. He looked into the distance, almost feeling as if he could simply trample over the world.
Traveling Buddha also got up to his feet, his eyes fierce. He had a very strong desire to find someone to fight, but realized there were no opponents anywhere nearby. The barrier around the sealed mountain still remained, and none of the sapient beasts at the foot of the mountain had the chance to climb up yet.
Xia Fan’s eyes shone. He had a complete epiphany toward Law Power. Law was like shackles that imprisoned a human’s potential. Opening their seventh brain region would only bring about an initial awakening of divine power, but only by breaking past the layers after layers of Law Barrier would they finally obtain the strength that surpassed mortality, approaching the divine!
It did not matter what rule or law existed under the sky. Their existence was only meant to be broken!
Only by ruthlessly smashing every rule could humans stand proudly at the apex of the universe, becoming existences that could not be restrained by any force!
‘I wonder how many of these Law Barriers my relatives have broken,’ Xia Fan thought to himself.
A strong desire welled up in his heart. The Skywings were out fighting in the Great Chiliocosm, and he was still trapped in the Ashen Moon universe. Just thinking about the great distance he was from his own father made him feel extremely ashamed. He had to quickly catch up to those relatives of his that had long since flown off into the stars!
“Haha! I reckon that old man in the mountain wouldn’t be any match for me now, would he?” Traveling Buddha rubbed his fists together. He was still looking for someone to fight, eager to find out just how much he had improved. As for the old man in the mountain, he was probably referring to the most senior member of the Holy Buddha Clan. Traveling Buddha had once referred to him as the Old Monster.
Xia Fn and Traveling Buddha had both just experienced and were recalling the miraculous sensation they felt when they broke past their Law Barrier. Without even realizing it, the sky gradually lightened, and the sun began rising in the east.
As the first light of dawn hit the land, the barrier around the mountain shattered, disappearing into thin air, and at the same time, Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha both heard roars of indignation coming from the foot of the mountain.
…
A group of sapient beasts had already gone mad from anger at the foot of the mountain. They had been tormented the entire night as they watched people appear at the mountain’s peak, stealing the precious crystals, and even letting out guttural cries.
There was someone who called himself the Little Old Buddha with a slightly hoarse voice shouting wildly up on the mountain, demanding to fight anyone, stating he would kill anyone who dared climb up the mountain.
For the entire night, these sapient beasts were all incensed, their eyes all bloodshot in their rage, wishing they could just flay the skin of the arrogant human who was up on the hill.
All of them were so enraged that they were at the point their blood vessels were bursting. They had spent grueling days waiting, all in hopes of obtaining the mysterious crystals found up on the mountain peak, completing their evolution, and becoming powerful sapient beasts.
But now, some humans had barged in before any of them could, and could very well have plucked the crystals. This was bad!
As the sun rose in the east, the barrier suddenly shattered, so the group of beasts went bounding for the peak in a mad dash.
“Kill the accursed humans!”
“Skin them alive! Pull out their spines! Throw them into a pot and stew them until they become puree!”
“The crystals were ours! They can’t have even a single one!”
The beasts had changed a great deal after they gained sapiency. They had become an entirely new existence that was in between human and beast, and their intelligence was even slightly higher than most humans. They could understand speech and writing, and even pilot warships!
The group of sapient beasts went sprinting up the mountain as soon as they could, leading at the forefront of the charge. Behind them were the beasts who had yet to achieve sapiency, beasts who were less evolved than those in front of them. They were as good as troops that followed those in the front. Meanwhile, the sapient beasts who were capable of speech had all charged up the hill, fierce and angry.
“Quick look! Those beasts are making a beeline over!”
“They are going straight for the mountain peak!”
“There are humans on the mountain! I wonder which clan those warriors belong to?”
“That’s not right. Why is that person so familiar? It’s like I’ve seen him somewhere before.”
At this moment, there was a stealthed scout ship up in space quickly flying by. They were the warriors in charge of monitoring Planet 4, and though the Four Great Clans of God Metropolis had an agreement with the sapient beasts, one where they would put up a resistance against a planet’s fission, the Four Great Clans still had reservations toward the sapient beasts, and would often send scout ships to spy on them.
“Look, why are those two men on the mountain not running away?”
“Fools! Those sapient beasts are extremely powerful, aren’t they just courting death if they don’t run away?”
“Something’s not right. Why have they rolled up their sleeves?”
The warriors onboard the scout ship were observing the situation. Much to their shock, they watched as Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha remained where they were when facing off against the assault from the sapient beasts. Instead, the two men had even rolled up their sleeves, looking as if they were getting ready to massacre them!
This was truly too peculiar. They were well aware of just how powerful the sapient beasts were, capable of destroying the land and sea. Just why were those two young lads so bold?
A warrior suddenly recalled where he had seen the face of Xia Fan, and gasped out loud, “I remember now! That should be that Speedster rascal! Young and always smiling, whose speed was comparable to that of a Heavenly Venerate!”
Everyone was startled, absolutely floored by the revelation. All of them could recall that this was the same person who had once fought against Hidden Wind, the same speedster who had even managed to force the fight into a stalemate! Everyone from the Four Great Clans was looking for him!
