Chapter 1697: Chapter 1697

Divine creatures and divine spirits are not the same. The power of the divine spirit belongs to itself, though it may have various restrictions. Undoubtedly, even if they leave their own world, they can still exhibit strong power.

But divine creatures are different; their power does not originate from themselves.

Especially in this world, these eighth-tier divine creatures are cultivated by the world itself, akin to parasites. If they leave this world, it’s impressive if they can exhibit the power of a sixth tier.

Such existence could be a change the world makes to eliminate the effects left by former divine spirits, or it could be a means of protecting itself. Clearly, this strategy has attracted even more powerful beings.

The world consciousness of this world is essentially exhausted, leaving only faint instincts, and the consciousness itself is already dormant. Thus, even those faint instinctual consciousnesses are about to disappear.

The world consciousness cannot perceive the changes in the world and cannot make any alterations.

The condition of this world can only continue to deteriorate, growing worse and worse. Yet, as a battleground, it is an excellent locale.

When competing for resources, no one cares about who the others are. Moreover, they believe that even if the challenger is powerful, they won’t strike against them. Otherwise, provoking collective anger is no joke.

Since the other party has abandoned this place and doesn’t regard it as territory, everyone might as well compete and take it.

Shortly afterward, Du You encountered a target. "These parasitic-like divine creatures, truly the stronger they are, the weaker their consciousness."

Du You saw a creature with two crocodile heads roaring at him. Its body sparkled with lightning; indeed, the main law power of this creature is thunder and lightning, mixed with many other elements.

This law wasn’t something the creature owned personally, but was directly bestowed upon it by the world consciousness. This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

The ability to manipulate in this world makes it eighth-tier, baptized over time, tempered all over its body, making its materials comparable to the eighth tier.

Speaking of this, world-nurtured eighth-tier divine creatures are extremely rare. Through so many worlds, Du You hasn’t seen world-nurtured seventh-tier or sixth-tier divine creatures even once, only here in this world.

Anyway, never mind all that, let’s fight. With a wave of his hand, Du You released his adept Shadow Spirit Light Ball.

However, today the usage of the Shadow Spirit Light Ball has changed. The Shadow Spirit Light Ball descended from the sky seems to have lost its former agility, looking stiff and direct.

But when the two sisters saw this scene, their eyes suddenly brightened. Because beneath that stiff surface lies a more profound understanding and application of laws. Essentially, much more flexible than before.

"Master, you’re mimicking that person’s attack method, aren’t you?" Lin Yushi said.

While attacking, Du You replied, "That’s right, I’m mimicking this approach. Since that person always uses this method, it means it is the mainstream of eighth-tier combat. There’s no harm in learning it."

"Master is right. So, how does it feel now?" Lin Yucha inquired.

"It feels somewhat uncomfortable, but the effectiveness is clearly better. Different laws can’t be applied entirely the same, now it’s just imitation. Once adapted, we’ll need to find a suitable combat method for ourselves. To be honest, I’m beginning to feel it; this fighting technique is indeed quite good."

As the battle progressed, Du You felt the sensation increasingly, and the laws contained within became more flexible.

He can directly use laws to attack, enhance the power of flames, or the impact vanishes, leaving just corrosive force. Alternatively, manipulate the power to rotate, split, or exhibit some special flow.

Various methods are being tested by Du You, feeling increasingly that great skill comes without artifice.

Both sisters’ eyes also brightened; had Du You not been experimenting here, they would really like to try it out.

After a long while, Du You suddenly said, "Attack with full force, let’s finish off this creature first."

The two sisters also stiffened their expressions, attacking simultaneously. The three eighth tiers attacked at once, quickly eliminating this pseudo-eighth-tier creature. Just after gathering the loot, someone flew over from afar.

Seeing their battle had concluded and even the spoils taken, the person scoffed and then turned away. Clearly, he intended to come over and snatch the spoils just moments ago.

Such situations are common here; unless someone’s conduct is too domineering and incites collective anger, nothing much usually happens. After all, others aren’t really aligned, and without great threats, they can’t unite.

Then, Du You and the two sisters started searching for other targets. This territory is vast and uncleaned; many eighth-tier divine creatures exist here too. Furthermore, every kill has a certain impact on this world. If these creatures die too many, the world will gradually enter a state of exhaustion.

But if this world truly is ninth-tier, then its foundation and recovery capacity are very strong.

Simply hunting these divine creatures who have reached eighth-tier in this world, who knows how long it would take to cause the world’s collapse.

At least this world has existed for a very long time, far longer than Earth’s transformation time. Such a long time without issues shows how strong its foundation is.

Each time encountering an enemy, Du You and the two sisters would test new combat techniques independently. With their talent and potential, they adapted very familiarly to these techniques.

If someone was nearby, they would go all out, aiming to eliminate the enemy first.

Although these creatures didn’t yield many crystal coins, there were always some, and they could be accumulated in number.

However, there was no good loot dropping, leaving Du You helpless; after all, these divine creatures were originally defective products. Nevertheless, as they fought, the trio’s combat styles gradually evolved.

On the surface, they became increasingly simple, but internally, the application of laws became more dynamic. Each of them initially comprehended not just one law, now capable of mimicking various laws, making them far more versatile than those with single laws. Simply due to changes in their fighting style, Du You can visibly feel his combat strength increasing.
