Chapter 479: Lord Shepherd's Life-Saving Method (4K)
Shattered Isles Warzone, temporary resting spot.
Mu Yuan held a pen, noting down his judgment on blank, tough paper.
"Speculations about Conceptual Power I and II"
In these days, Sword Lord Liushi had made several moves.
Twice it was to spar with Uta.
Once, he repelled a strong individual from Dragon Sleep Valley who had come to probe their strength.
And once, it was the earliest assault campaign.
When Sword Lord Liushi led the surprise attack squad deep into the Red Mist Land, Mu Yuan also observed the magnificent battle from a distance through the eyes of Black Crow. But at that time, what he saw was merely some manifestations, the aftermath of the battle.
Now, he could see the essence.
When Sword Lord Liushi battled, the concept of killing enveloped the azure sky like tens of thousands of fine threads, darkening the heavens and earth.
Within the killing, there was also the fusion of blood, the concept of indestructibility.
"Three concepts intertwine," Mu Yuan pondered, "Normally speaking, beings of the Legendary Skill Realm can only wield one type of conceptual power."
They might have entered the beginner stage and comprehended multiple laws, creating different conceptual effects, but they could only use one at a time.
Concepts are exclusive.
A huge wave that possesses the concept of 'resilience' would maintain its form and roll forward, even if bombarded by energy several or tens of times more powerful.
A huge wave with the concept of 'continuous' would persist endlessly, without stopping.
"Law Realm powerhouses can only use one conceptual power at a time and mainly cultivate one concept, but there are exceptions. If they can fuse two or three concepts together, then they can exercise multiple powers at the same time,"
Undoubtedly, the latter is stronger.
Dead Bone, Duo Lai, currently only use a single conceptual power.
This is probably because they have not yet reached a high enough realm.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yuan wrote further: "The strength of conceptual power is influenced by many factors, multiple concepts being an extremely rare situation. Usually it is dependent on:..."
The scale of the concept;
The carrier of the concept;
Scale, as the name implies, strong is just strong.
Like Jun and Sario, these Tianyuan Powerhouses, their third Epic Skill awakened also has conceptual qualities, but this conceptual power is very weak, only a thread, a few threads.
This power, when used against enemies without conceptual power, is like a high-dimensional strike.
But if they face off directly against legendary beings of the Third Realm, this bit of power is like a pebble tossed into a lake, hardly causing any ripples.
They do not have the capability to enhance their conceptual power.
Dead Bone, Duo Lai, Isloa, Lu Liu—such Legendary Lives—can peer into the essence of heaven and earth and analyze and grasp conceptual power, instead of just using it instinctively. They can strengthen their own conceptual power through the observation of heaven and earth or some special means.
"Dead Bone and Duo Lai's conceptual powers are growing not too slowly, but after all, they are only of the Heaven and Earth Realm. They lack the refined God Soul to resonate with heaven and earth; otherwise, this speed could be many times faster,"
Without data, without direct comparisons, Mu Yuan was not clear about the progression speed of other Law Realm powerhouses.
But he had seen the conceptual power unleashed by Sword Lord Liushi, and just from what he peered at, it was already stronger than Dead Bone and Duo Lai.
"If we use the conceptual power contained within Jun's Sigh of the Wind God as a unit of measurement, the scale that Sword Lord Liushi exhibits is approximately ten thousand times larger,"
A thread, and ten thousand threads' difference.
It is also double that of Dead Bone and six times that of Duo Lai.
This is still not the limit of Sword Lord Liushi. After all, he is among the peak strengths in the Legendary Law Realm.
Even with the eroding Red Mist and the suppression of flesh and blood, he can still suppress with the power of one, three Law Realm beings from Dragon Sleep Valley and a collective force of dozens or hundreds from the Soul Realm and Heaven and Earth Realm.
"The carrier of the concept is also skills, abilities."
"The higher-level the skill, the more powerful it is. When infused with conceptual power, it can exert even stronger power," Mu Yuan reflected. "And it is also related to compatibility; the 'scorch' conceptual power needs to be fully utilized with fire-based skills."
In this regard, the Tianyuan Division General has some advantage.
Jun's Sigh of the Wind God naturally carries the 'cleave' concept, and Duo Lai's Space-tearing Seal aligns with the 'Tear' concept; these are the most suitable skills.
Legendary Power even comes with a 'path to enhancement.'
However, Mu Yuan, the Great Lord, contemplated that the bloodline ranks of the Eternal World's top powerhouses tend to be not low.
"We only hold a slight advantage at best, which certainly doesn't count long-term,"
...
In a certain area in the Shattered Isles, enshrouded in Red Mist, Dead Bone walked alone within it.
It measured the land of the Isles, exploring forward along the path formed by the spreading Red Mist.
It was searching for the connection between the Shattered Isles and the Red Mist Land.
It was a skeleton.
But,
It was far more than just a skeleton.
Around it, for tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of miles, one Undead creature after another trod the earth, advancing like an unstoppable tide.
They occasionally perished under the onslaught of monsters, turning into dry bones buried in the earth, yet they all resurrected soon after and returned.
Living, dying;
Dying, living;
This process was both exploration and self-cultivation.
It fit well with its 'Death and Life' conceptual path.
Around Dead Bone, elaborate scenes invisible to others wreathed it.
Threads and wisps symbolizing 'Death and Life' concepts swirled and floated around it. It directly pointed to death, enveloping all that is dead within it. And it signified more than just death; it also represented rebirth after death.
Death is life.
Just like now, around the vast concept of death, a slender thread of concept, visible to the naked eye, was born inch by inch.
