The Law of Darkness had already begun to corrode the old man's body.
He was very good at hiding himself and had scattered his body in different dimensions. When a part of his body was attacked, he would instantly move to another dimension to avoid attacks from the same dimension. However, the Extraordinary Dragon Lady's Law of Darkness affected all dimensions at the same time, making it impossible for him to hide.
In fact, it was not too difficult to stop the Law of Darkness from invading. He only needed to use his domain to completely envelop himself and completely isolate himself from the outside world. After all, the Law of Darkness was also a type of domain, and the essence of a domain was a basic rule. There was a mutual rejection between them.
However, the old man's body was hidden in a different dimension, so he could not activate a complete domain. This gave the Law of Darkness an opportunity to take advantage of.
Su Chen's fierce attacks also made the old man lose his ability to judge. His attention was completely focused on Su Chen and he ignored the Extraordinary Dragon Lady's existence.
He was defeated in an instant.
The Law of Darkness continued to invade, and the old man's body began to turn black at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although he reacted and quickly activated his domain to resist the Law of Darkness's invasion, the Law of Darkness had already been infected. Once the negative backlash erupted, there was no way to reverse it.
It was a definite ending. Even if Su Chen asked the Extraordinary Dragon Lady to withdraw the Law of Darkness, it would be useless. This negative backlash was too contagious. As long as it touched a little bit, it would cause an uncontrollable chain reaction. Now, it was only infecting the old man's body. When his entire body was infected, the negative backlash would begin to spread outwards. Before long, the entire space would be covered by the Law of Darkness, and eventually become a forbidden land of death.
"No, no, no … I shouldn't die like this. Even the Giant King couldn't kill me back then. I can't die here!"
"Stop, stop right now. I can submit to you as long as you save my life!"
The negative backlash began to affect the old man's body. The meridians all over his body began to spasm uncontrollably. The spiritual energy in his body was contaminated and turned into black steam that was emitted from his pores. His expression was extremely twisted and ferocious, and his roar became extremely hoarse.
Plop.
The old man knelt on the ground, not only because of fear, but also because the backlash had already destroyed his body. The bones and muscles in his limbs were beginning to collapse, and his knees were unable to bear the weight of his body. The moment he knelt on the ground, his legs shattered like porcelain, and his appearance was extremely miserable and terrifying.
Even though Su Chen had already seen how terrifying the Laws of Darkness were, he still shuddered in fear when he saw the old man's appearance.
One had to know that the Law of Darkness did not differentiate between friend and foe. If he was infected, it would be very difficult to save him.
With a wave of his hand, Su Chen struck out a divine imprint, retrieving the Pangu divine axe that had yet to be contaminated. At the same time, he struck out an isolation formation, sealing the space around the old man to prevent the Law of Darkness from spreading outwards.
"You shouldn't use this ability too often. It's too hard to control. If you don't use it well, you might end up killing everyone on your side," Su Chen told Dragon Lady.
She nodded seriously. "I'll only use it if my brother lets me use it."
"Good girl."
Su Chen scratched the tip of Dragon Lady's nose, then walked towards the old man.
At this moment, the old man looked like a piece of charcoal. His entire body had been infected by the Law of Darkness, and it had begun to corrode his sea of consciousness. Furthermore, he had already lost control of his body. Even if he wanted to detonate his sea of consciousness, he could not do so.
However, the old man's consciousness was still very clear. After all, his soul had not been infected yet.
Su Chen looked at him with an indifferent gaze and said, "Why are you seeking your own death?"
"Save me … Save me …"
The old man's soul let out a shrill cry. His desire to live had already been stimulated to the extreme.
Su Chen ignored his cry for help. With a wave of his hand, before the Law of Darkness had yet to corrode the depths of his sea of consciousness, he began to devour the old man's soul.
The old man's name was Gong Jin. He was a Divine King Realm bandit in the Aparagodaniya Continent. He specialized in robbing the tombs of ancient almighties. Once, he was so bold that he robbed the ancestral tomb of the strongest expert in the Aparagodaniya Continent, the Inferno Sage. He was chased by the Inferno Sage for ten years. Relying on a broken star map, he finally escaped to the Pangu Continent.
On the Pangu Continent, he once again did his old job. He emptied many tombs of the Golden Giants. In the end, his deeds were exposed and caused public outrage among the Giants. The current Giant King issued an order to kill him. Only then did Gong Jin hide in this dangerous area filled with ancient beasts. He hid there for thousands of years.
"He's also a talent."
After reading Gong Jin's life story, Su Chen actually felt some admiration.
This was an almighty expert in the world of tomb raiders.
Su Chen had devoured Gong Jin's soul and obtained all of his memories. Naturally, he also mastered some of Gong Jin's fighting skills.
Although Su Chen was not interested in digging up ancestral tombs, it was never a burden to have more skills.
In addition, Gong Jin's attainments in spatial cultivation methods were another big surprise for Su Chen.
He had once obtained an incomplete cultivation method in an ancient tomb. It was called the Infinite Sumeru Technique. It was a top-notch spatial secret technique passed down from an almighty expert in the Primordial Age. After evolution and improvement, it was a top-notch spatial secret technique.
Although it was still much inferior to Su Chen's Great Leap Immortal Technique, it was already considered one of the top spatial cultivation methods in the Primordial Age.
Moreover, because Su Chen had devoured Gong Jin's soul and obtained the complete cultivation memories of this cultivation method, Su Chen did not need to spend many skill points to completely add this cultivation method to his skill tree.
Rounding it off, it was basically a freeloader.
What was there to hesitate about? Su Chen immediately spent a few skill points to max out the Infinite Sumeru Technique.
Su Chen finally understood how Gong Jing could divide his body into different parts and hide in different dimensions. This was the effect of the Sumeru Concealment Technique. Simply put, it was a special defensive technique. As long as he set up a spatial formation in a different dimension in advance, he could automatically jump through dimensions and avoid harm if his body was attacked.
This was definitely a life-saving trump card.
However, its flaws were also very obvious. He needed to make sufficient preparations in advance to bring out the best effects.
Considering that he had to run around everywhere, this technique was actually better than nothing.
As the saying goes, there's no harm in having more skills. It's always better than nothing.
Su Chen waved his hand and removed the spatial seal on Phoenix Dawn and Erya. Without waiting for them to wake up, he took them out and returned to the mountain.
As soon as he appeared, Su Chen sensed Lady Providence's aura rapidly approaching.
She had escaped and returned!
