Chapter 574 325: King of the Fire Mane_2

The interests involved in the Permanent Law Node are too immense, and the forces coveting them are not something a single Wizard Influence can withstand.

Even a large Wizard Influence finds it challenging.

The most prudent approach is a joint effort by multiple Wizard Influences.

Sunan couldn't help but feel a bit fortunate; fortunately, the Floating City of the Star Alliance has already been constructed.

With the Floating City, the Star Alliance has greater confidence in speaking, and once they occupy the Permanent Law Node, the benefits they can gain will naturally be more substantial.

In the end, this world still relies on strength to speak.

After reaching an agreement, the four of them immediately began to take action.

Maisy flipped her wrist, and a cyan crystal stone the size of a dragon's eye appeared in her palm.

She flicked it with her finger, and the cyan crystal stone instantly shot out. In mid-air, it suddenly brightened, transforming into a translucent cyan bird that darted away like an arrow, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"This is the middle of the buffer zone, quite a distance from Wizard Town. From the transmission of the message to gathering manpower and then having reinforcements arrive, it will take at least half an hour."

Maisy said solemnly.

There are quite a few True Spirit Wizards in the realms of truth's Wisdom Code, but these people do not stay in the same place all year round.

Some are in seclusion for cultivation.

Some are out seeking Law Nodes.

It is not something that can be done in a short time to relay the message to these people and have them come over to support.

"Before the reinforcements arrive, we must hold this Law Node."

The four of them then began setting up an array to conceal the fluctuations of the laws.

However, halfway through the setup, a strong surge of energy suddenly came from afar.

Sunan looked up and saw that the horizon in the distance had been dyed a fiery red at some point, rapidly spreading in this direction.

As the distance closed, they realized that the source of the red that dyed the whole sky was indeed a creature, over ten meters tall, with a majestic and robust build, its muscular contours seemingly flawless, with the body of a human and the head of a lion.

"The Fire-Maned King!" Ortis's face changed.

Morick's expression also turned ugly: "How did this guy appear here?"

The Fire-Maned King is precisely the powerful divinity who had previously fought one against three, single-handedly taking on three fourth-level Wizards and even managing to counter-kill one.

This divine being is also known by the nickname 'King of All Beasts.'

His divine roles are fire and beasts.

He is equivalent to an outstanding figure among True Spirit Wizards who have mastered dual laws.

Moreover, he is a combat-oriented fighter among the divine beings, exceptionally skilled in martial combat.

Thus, although merely a middle-level divinity, his combat prowess is extremely formidable.

Encountering the Fire-Maned King at such a time is clearly not a welcome development.

"Originally, I just whimsically came over here to take a look; who knew I'd be so lucky to find a Permanent Law Node."

The Fire-Maned King revealed a slightly ferocious and excited smile on his lion face, densely covered with mane, his gaze fixed intensely on the Law Node, undisguised fervor and greed in his eyes.

Following that, he glanced at Sunan and his companions, his mouth curling into a bloodthirsty smile.

"Unfamiliar faces, looks like a few nobodies."

"I'll give you a chance. Leave immediately, and I won't kill you."

In the eyes of the Fire-Maned King, the True Spirit Wizards, who are highly esteemed and revered outside, turned into nobodies.

Morick and Ortis were somewhat infuriated but didn't say anything.

Just because the Fire-Maned King does indeed possess that kind of strength.

Even though there are four True Spirit Wizards on their side, including both Maisy and Sunan, who are level five Wizards, facing the famous old divine being, the Fire-Maned King, they still don't have much confidence.

Even at the same level five existence, there can be vast disparities between each other.

Like Master Level True Spirit Wizards, a newly ascended True Spirit Wizard's Law energy level is just over 100.

Yet, experienced Master Level True Spirit Wizards can have a Law energy level approaching 1000 at most.

The disparity between the two approaches a 900 Law energy level, far exceeding the difference between Master and Control Levels.

And as an old divine being who has existed for over a hundred thousand years, the Fire-Maned King's strength is far superior to many level five Wizards.

At least a level five Wizard with a Law energy level of two or three hundred would be required to possibly contend with him.

Whereas on their side, leaving them aside, Maisy's Law energy level is estimated not to exceed two hundred.

As for Sunan, who had just ascended not long ago, the Law energy level likely won't even reach one hundred and twenty to thirty.

Their side's power roster is truly not reassuring.

Although there was a clear disparity in strength between the two sides, neither Sunan, Maisy, nor the other two had any intention of retreating.

The Permanent Law Node is a rare opportunity that comes once in thousands of years, crucial to their future strength enhancement. Even if they had to take great risks, they would not retreat an inch.

It seemed from Sunan and the others' change in demeanor, the Fire-Maned King discerned their intention. He sneered coldly, not wasting words, and his entire body lunged forward, with scorching flames swiftly enveloping him.

The next second, accompanied by a deafening beast roar, a hundred-meter-tall crimson lion burst from the flames, charging with an unmatched and ferocious momentum.

The Fire-Maned King revealed his divine body right at the start of the battle.

It was evident that he also knew that their reinforcements were about to arrive, and he needed to eliminate the four before him first, or else he would be besieged.

Seeing the opponent's fierce attack, Sunan and the others were not flustered, striking almost simultaneously.

Accompanied by a piercing whistle, a violent wind suddenly arose around Morick, with visible pale cyan wind spiraling toward the Fire-Maned King, overwhelming everything.

The aura of destruction made people change color in astonishment.

Ortis, unwilling to fall behind, waved her hand, and a Great Splitting Skill had already shot towards the Fire-Maned King.

It's not that she didn't want to use the Power of Law.

It's just that the law she has mastered, like the Fire-Maned King, is the Law of Flame, but her mastery of the laws is far inferior to that of the Fire-Maned King.

With the same law, the side with lower energy levels would naturally be restrained by the side with higher energy levels.

The laws' capabilities exhibited not only might not harm the opponent but could possibly be manipulated and utilized by the opponent, amplifying their power instead.

Taking this into account, Ortis abandoned using the laws and turned to cast magic against the enemy.

However, magic poses limited threat to divinity, essentially rendering them a man down in terms of battle strength.

Meanwhile, Maisy's attack followed.

Without anyone seeing her move, the ground suddenly rumbled and cracked, countless fragments splintered apart, rapidly converging to form a Rock Giant as high as three to four hundred meters, striding heavily towards the Fire-Maned King.

"Endowing the inorganic with life, huh." Sunan pondered, "Is this the application of the Life Law?"

Boom!

The fire roared around the Fire-Maned King, blocking both viento and Decomposition Beam; in a swift, beast-like savage attack, he fiercely and swiftly tore the Rock Giant to fragments.

But the next second, the shattered rocks clattered and gathered back together, restoring once again to the form of the Rock Giant.

And this time, the surface of the Rock Giant was adorned with countless enigmatic patterns, hinting at a peculiar charm.

Sunan keenly observed that every time the Rock Giant's fists touched the flames on the Fire-Maned King, the originally blazing flames would suddenly weaken significantly, as if doused with water.

"Absorbing life...can it even extract the life of fire?"

"No, it's more than that. It can also return the absorbed life force to itself."

Watching the Rock Giant, bearing numerous wounds from the Fire-Maned King's attacks, yet rapidly regenerating at a visible pace, Sunan realized.

Indeed, among the rule-based laws, a formidable one whose power cannot be underestimated.

Thoughts raced, yet Sunan's actions were swift, pointing with a finger, and the void seemed to stagnate. The Fire-Maned King, in full throttle charge, was abruptly paused, as if burdened with a vast mountain, and his originally lightning-quick movements were noticeably slowed.
