Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696

In just an instant, the gravity of the entire earth became completely chaotic. Ordinary people here would definitely get smashed and bloodied, or even be crushed to a pulp on the spot. Moreover, this level of gravity was continually increasing.

In the end, even a seventh-tier warrior would be greatly affected. The gravity had churned into chaos, like a giant whirlpool, and anything caught in it would meet a dire fate.

However, the ground itself was controlled by two individuals, untouched by the gravity effects.

Next, chunks of the ground transformed into long spears, thrusting toward the challenger in the sky.

The challenger in the sky was equally relentless, waving a hand as countless meteors descended from the heavens, striking the long spears with the force of a heavenly disaster. A massive impact radiated in all directions.

"Focus on your insights, don’t worry about other matters." At this moment, someone quietly reminded.

As the two sides engaged, the Earth Attribute Laws and related laws manifested one after another. Although not completely intact, they allowed people to gain insights and enhance their laws.

Most people who came here this time were of the Earth attribute.

Of course, unique individuals like Du You were also present. For people like Du You, the benefits gained were not as much as those with the Earth attribute, but regardless of the attribute, one could still absorb and learn from it.

And as the battle continued, various other laws also began to appear. Henceforth, the overall benefits gained by Du You and others were no less than anyone else. Of course, those without strength could not feel it here.

Those who hadn’t reached the eighth tier retreated, continually moving farther away. Being too far made comprehension less profound, yet trying to get too close could have dire consequences.

When someone who was too close was caught in the aftermath and died on the spot, others dared not venture too close again.

Even among the seventh tier, only the late stages of the seventh tier might struggle to resist this aftermath.

Having never fought with a seventh-tier opponent, Du You, upon witnessing this scene, gained a somewhat direct understanding of his current power. But at this moment, the most important thing was not this, but gaining insights into the laws.

In the battle, the challenger had the deepest insights into the laws, after all, it was his own battle. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

However, the indigenous god could not match this. This being was nurtured by this world and only could ascend to divinity due to special reasons, continually advancing. The advancement method of an indigenous god was different from that of a typical divine spirit.

Ordinary divine spirits could gain insights through law manifestation, whereas indigenous gods could only gain insights through the world’s support, growing over time. Battles held no benefit for them.

So, during the battle, this rock giant could focus entirely on fighting without other considerations.

Yet similarly, the rock giant gained no improvement, while the opponent was continually advancing. Even though the progress was subtle and the degree quite low, the growth never ceased.

On the surface, both sides had very simple methods: one continuously condensing soil into long spears to attack the sky, and the other summoning meteors to fall, as if that’s all they knew.

But in the eyes of Du You and others, it was different. The methods may be single, but the changes in laws were vast, constantly presenting various combinations of laws. Even if it was a single Earth attribute law, the application was very flexible.

This approach was entirely different from the seventh tier. The seventh tier leveraged the power of laws to attack, whereas, at the eighth tier, the laws belonged to one’s own power, allowing for any use, very freely.

Even one like Du You, who had condensed it into his origin, could control it effortlessly.

This was practically on-the-spot teaching, and gradually, Du You’s understanding of his own power’s application began to change.

This time, perhaps among all present, he had garnered the most harvest, Du You thought silently to himself.

Moreover, this seemingly simple single form was actually not that simple. This belonged to simplifying complexity. It seemed straightforward, but all the changes were contained within.

If someone lacking strength entered it, they’d find these simple attacks entirely unavoidable. Moreover, if any flaw was exposed, these simple attacks would easily hit, completely unavoidable.

So the seemingly dull attacks by both parties appeared utterly unique to the eighth-tier onlookers. Both sides had strong power, and everyone watched in fascination.

Conversely, those at the seventh tier or even below, viewing the battle from afar, were somewhat baffled. Not understanding the nature of the battle was very normal.

They could only exert all effort to gain insights into the laws, unable to do anything else.

The battle lasted a whole day, and suddenly underwent a change. Whether it was because the insights were enough, or out of impatience, the challenger’s attack intensity suddenly surged by a large margin.

In an instant, all the long spears shattered, yet rocks continued to fall, and there were even more than half remaining.

The rock giant, having exerted full strength, suddenly couldn’t adapt, getting slammed hard by these rocks. In an instant, the body’s defense was shattered, and the law protection was dispersed. Over half the body collapsed on the spot. However, surrounding soil quickly gathered, rapidly restoring the rock giant’s body.

Stones continued to fall from the sky, and previously fallen bodies shattered into countless fragments, always striking the weak points on the rock giant. Attacks from all directions made it impossible for the rock giant to evade.

Constant breaking and constant rebirth persisted for a whole hour. And the rock giant’s rebirth gradually slowed, the soul unable to escape. Dense laws around formed layers of blockade.

An hour later, when the rock giant was shattered again, it finally didn’t recover, nor did it stand up again.

The soul, enveloped with its own origin of laws, had no chance of escape and was sealed on the spot by the challenger.

"This place is yours now; I have no interest in it," suddenly, the challenger said to those around. Upon speaking, the challenger turned to leave, and only then did others react.

"Quick, don’t let others get ahead." Even against such a powerful challenger, they also didn’t want the opponent to get ahead. This was indigenous territory, naturally inhabited by eighth-tier divine creatures.
