Di Rui's breakthrough was within Su Ming's expectations.
An increase of a full hundred thousand years of cultivation could not appear out of thin air.
As an Auspicious herself Beast of the Spirit Beast clan, while she accelerated the cultivation speed of the Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, she could only grow naturally, unable to actively increase her cultivation through training.
But after becoming Su Ming's Spirit Soul, she could rapidly increase her cultivation, though still with difficulty through training alone—instead, it came through fate feedback.
Su Ming was very curious about fate.
This law was definitely one of the most top. Su Ming even suspected it was hidden within the River of Time, spanning time itself.
Precisely because of this, when searching for the fluctuations of this law, Su Ming instinctively used the Trinity's perspective, overlooking the river, catching that trace.
"If possible, even if it costs two Spirit Ring slots, as long as I can master the Law of Fate, it would be worth it."
Su Ming looked far and wide, searching everywhere, observing both Di Rui and the river, catching that nearly imperceptible fluctuation.
Suddenly, a subtle undercurrent fluctuation caught his attention.
But when he tried to carefully sense it, that undercurrent had vanished without a trace.
"Fate is elusive."
Su Ming examined it carefully once more and reluctantly gave up.
Of course, he had mastered the power of fate, but where did this power originate?
This was what he was seeking—the law hidden deep within the world.
Unfortunately, despite anticipating it early and perceiving it instantly, he still couldn't capture it.
"Elder Electrolux's change in fate was actually strong enough; otherwise, I wouldn't have detected that undercurrent. But this kind of touch from a single point is too passive. Capture the fluctuations of the Law of Fate might require perceiving from all directions simultaneously."
"Next time, I'll try using my Trinity. Using the Trinity's connection, I'll touch the Law of Fate, making its fluctuations appear only within my Trinity. I refuse to believe I won't be able to lock onto the Law of Fate then."
Exiting the Trinity perspective, Su Ming looked at the battlefield.
He could sense that the Abyss had gone somewhat crazy.
With the subsidiary body of the Tree of Life planted, the Abyssal Sage King had issued orders, and the Wisdom Monarch could only do his utmost to carry them out.
He immediately increased investment, no longer following the previous strategy of symbolically holding the front line, but instead switching to a route of mass mobilization.
Among the top ten Monarchs, the eighth-ranked Bee Monarch personally took charge, leading a large number of Bomb Bees and beginning a crazy counterattack.
Fortunately, the Abyssal channel had transformed into a small Abyssal plane, vast in area. Even with the Abyss expanding crazily, the Spirit Master world's losses were not significant.
Both sides were occupying the newly evolved regions.
After the blank areas were completely occupied, sixty percent of this small plane was held by the Spirit Master world, with the Abyss holding only forty percent.
This naturally did not satisfy the Abyssal Sage King's requirements. The Wisdom Monarch ordered the Tyrant Monarch and the Charm Monarch to deploy Ba An and the Demon Charm army, along with a multitude of lower Abyssal creatures, launching fierce charges.
It was only then that the Spirit Master world truly felt the terror of the Abyss for the first time.
The Body Sect and its many elders were on the front line.
Among them, Du Busi was excited. Wearing his Four-Word Battle Armor for the first time in formal combat, he charged into the Abyssal army, tearing apart dozens of Abyssal creatures with each casual move.
On his wrist, the Abyss Bracelet sprouted roots, winding around his arm and taking root in his bloodstream, continuously transporting life energy into him.
Gurgle.
Within those roots, one could see streams of energy being transported and infused into Du Busi's body.
This time, the army sent by the Wisdom Monarch was quite substantial. Even as Du Busi charged and killed, he struggled to make a noticeable impact.
He could only create a large area around him where Abyssal creatures suffered heavy casualties, but this area was continuously replenished by an endless stream of Abyssal creatures.
Du Busi grew increasingly alarmed as he killed.
He had the illusion that he might be worn down and killed by the Abyssal creatures.
Lei Zhen, bathed in lightning, was fused only Three-Word Battle Armor. He wielded lightning power, harvesting the lives of Abyssal creatures one by one, converting their energy into life energy that was infused into his limbs, allowing him to mobilize even greater lightning power.
His body flickered erratically, dark-gold light flashing within.
The Eight-Arms Elder fought like a possessed demon, manifesting a divine demon phantom with eight arms behind him. Each punch cleared an area dozens of meters ahead. With eight arms taking turns throwing punches, still, an endless horde of Abyssal creatures surged forward.
All three were feeling the strain.
If even they were struggling, what of Super Douluos like Yan Shaozhe, who didn't have Three-Word Battle Armor?
Yan Shaozhe and the other Sea God Pavilion elders gathered together, helping each other, barely holding their area from being engulfed by the endless Abyssal army.
Tianyang Douluo gathered a group of Titled Douluos from the former three Douluo empires, holding a different area. This was a small group he had formed after becoming a War God. Among these former three empires' Titled Douluos, not all had perished.
In just a few days, he had gathered over ten Titled Douluos—a testament to the influence of a War God of the War God Hall.
This was also the result of Su Ming, Xu Tianran, and the other factions allowing it to happen.
Only then could the status of the War God Hall's War Gods be elevated, consequently raising the War God Hall's standing in the hearts of Spirit Masters.
Besides the purely Spirit Masters, there were also Spirit Engineers holding key positions.
Kong Deming had indeed crafted his signature Spirit Tool: the Level Ten Spirit Tool, Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. With this signature Spirit Tool, his strength was completely at the Limit level.
What was working on him was not only that signature Spirit Tool but also a series of other Spirit Tools assisting him in mobilizing the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. Su Ming couldn't discern the principle at a glance, only seeing the result: the power of the Silver Moon Divine Light Waves he mobilized had increased.
Killing Abyssal creatures one by one, Kong Deming's Abyss Bracelet rapidly underwent secondary growth, beginning to supply him with life energy. Under the infusion of life energy, his aura grew increasingly powerful.
His performance naturally shocked the Spirit Masters who had opposed him during the War God selection.
They had misjudged.
This Kong Deming definitely had the qualifications to be a War God.
But those Spirit Masters didn't regret their previous opposition. After all, Kong Deming's previous contributions had indeed been insufficient.
Not far from Kong Deming, on his left, the Level Nine Spirit Engineers of the Hall of Worship were grouped together. On his right, Jing Hongchen led the Level Nine Spirit Engineers of Mingde Hall in another group. They sat down on the spot, transforming into Spirit Tool batteries, using Spirit Tool cannons to carve out two sanctuaries.
One by one, powerhouses held key positions at the front, standing the fiercest impact of the Abyssal army.
Behind them was the main Spirit Master army, connecting these defensive nodes held by the powerhouses, resisting the Abyssal army's offensive.
Yet, even so, the Spirit Master world's line of defense was hanging by a thread, at constant risk of breaking.
Su Ming did not enter the fray. He observed the situation from mid-air.
"The Spirit Master world's strength is still too weak. The improvements of the past few months are still insufficient. I'll have to bleed a little."
