Chapter 713: Changes in the Laws, the Beginning of Chaos
With a loud bang, the sky over the entire Ark Continent suddenly lit up with a white glow. This light was incredibly bright, even brighter than the noon sun. People on the continent felt a sharp pain in their eyes and instinctively gasped, quickly shutting their eyes.
However, the Demon King and the others looked on in shock at the brilliant white light. As divine-level experts, they were not affected by this light. What shocked them was that along with the white light, an enormous spatial rift appeared in the sky above the Church of Light. The rift grew wider, and suddenly, a landmass emerged from it. Slowly, this land pushed its way out, as if the rift was being torn apart by the land itself, growing larger until it reached the size of half the Kingdom of Light before finally coming to a halt. The land then descended, and with a thunderous crash, it landed on the ground of the Kingdom of Light, causing the entire Ark Continent to tremble.
At that moment, the Demon King’s expression changed. He turned to the Lich and said, “Witch Demon, do you feel that the pressure of the laws on us has disappeared?”
The Lich was taken aback and felt around, his expression changing as he replied, “Yes, the pressure of the laws has truly vanished. What is happening?”
The Demon King’s face turned ashen as he said, “It’s the divine race. They have joined forces with the Church of Light and used two incredibly powerful magic circles to alter the laws of heaven and earth here on the Ark Continent. From now on, divine-level experts entering the Ark Continent will no longer be affected by the laws. Witch Demon, you must immediately inform the Great Demon Lord of this disappearance. Ask him to organize divine-level experts to enter the Ark Continent at once, or we will be in danger.”
Upon hearing this, the Lich’s expression changed. He quickly acknowledged and turned to fly away. The Demon King looked at the still-existing spatial rift coldly and said, “Well done, divine race. Let’s see who this world truly belongs to!”
With that, the Demon King flew over the camp, looked down, and addressed all the demon clan members there: “All ninth-level individuals, stand up. Form groups of ten and prepare to defend the camp with all your strength. If a divine-level expert attacks, use energy links and self-destruct immediately. I want you to protect this camp at all costs!”
This was a bloody order, but the demon clan members showed no change in their expressions. They responded in unison, with no one hesitating. All ninth-level experts stood up, formed battle teams of ten, and quietly stationed themselves outside the camp, waiting for the battle to begin.
The Demon King understood very well that while the self-detonation of a group of ninth-level demon experts could injure a divine-level expert, that was only true for those who had not comprehended domain powers. If a divine-level expert understood domain powers, a ninth-level expert's self-detonation would be of no use.
However, using energy links made a difference. The combined power of ten ninth-level experts was nearly equivalent to that of a divine-level expert. A divine-level explosion would certainly be deadly, and even if the opponent comprehended a second-level domain, they would not be able to withstand such an explosion.
Zhao Hai's previous guess was correct; the power of domains was indeed divided into levels. To be precise, divine-level experts are classified into levels. Generally, divine-level experts are divided into pseudo-divine level, meaning they have just become divine-level experts and have not yet comprehended domain powers, like Xu Wanying and Berry, who belong to the pseudo-divine level.
Archers and assassins, while having comprehended domain powers, still lack flexibility and changes, which puts them in the first-level domain category, allowing them to be classified as official divine-level experts.
Those like the Demon King, who have powerful domain powers that can flexibly change and can fight like humans, are categorized as having second-level domain powers, and they are referred to as superior divine experts.
