Laws were a very special kind of power.
One could even say that laws were the foundation that formed this world.
Their uses were endless.
As long as one possessed enough understanding, the power of laws could be used to accomplish anything.
Just like now.
Karl had used laws to fuse together a Yin-Yang Shield.
Chthon's powerful dark magic had actually been blocked by Karl outright.
Karl knew that this was an advanced application of laws.
But Chthon did not.
At this moment, Chthon's heart was shaken by a storm of shock.
He could not understand what this thing was at all.
How could it possibly block his dark magic?
It was not that Chthon did not understand the power of laws. He simply did not bother using them most of the time.
Within dark magic, his path and his laws were already contained.
Every dark spell could unleash terrifying power.
What he had just used was an exceptionally horrifying dark spell.
It contained the Law of Death, the Law of Life, and a mixture of several other laws.
Its power was extremely formidable.
Relying on this spell, he had killed no small number of powerful beings.
Back in the age of the ancient war among the gods, many gods would turn pale the moment they heard of this move.
It was absolutely one of the few trump-card dark spells he had kept in reserve.
Yet such a powerful spell had actually been blocked by Karl?
Was this a joke?
What kind of technique was this?
Chthon was astonished by Karl's understanding and comprehension of laws.
This kind of creativity was not something ordinary people could possess.
However, the killing intent in Chthon's heart became even firmer.
If an enemy was not killed cleanly, the consequences would only come back to haunt him.
If he failed to kill this man now and Karl bore a grudge, then once Karl broke through to the multiverse level, there might be no one left who could restrain him.
For hundreds of millions of years, not a single multiverse-level powerhouse who had walked the path of the ancient gods had fallen.
Chthon's expression turned solemn.
He knew that he would have to pay a certain price.
"You three, merge with me and share life and death."
"If we cannot kill this man, then once he breaks through to the multiverse level, do you really think you will be able to escape?"
"You have no way out anymore."
Chthon spoke coldly.
His eyes radiated red light.
The power of dark magic circled around his body, and a layer of black armor appeared over him.
The three Great Demons exchanged glances.
Their auras suddenly surged by a large margin. Clearly, they had begun to take this seriously.
Great Demons were all extremely self-preserving beings.
When they cooperated, they usually only went through the motions.
All they had been thinking about was how, after killing Karl, Chthon would have to split the spoils with them.
But now.
They realized that something was wrong.
Karl was a little too fierce.
His combat strength had already reached the very limit of the single-universe level.
Perhaps even a weaker multiverse-level being might not necessarily possess more combat power than him.
If they wanted to take action now, it would not be so easy.
"Go! Kill him!"
Krakkan let out an ear-piercing shriek.
Space rippled.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
A humming sound like a swarm of bees rang out.
A swarm of insects appeared in the void.
They were extremely ugly creatures, looking like malformed beetles with transparent wings.
Even Chthon and Balthakk revealed wary expressions.
Karl immediately knew that these things were not simple.
With a wave of his hand, a ring of Tao Mandalas appeared around his body.
Krakkan said nothing.
He shrieked again.
Thousands upon thousands of ugly insects flew straight toward Karl.
"Krakkan, you actually brought yourself to use these Breaths of Atum. Not bad!"
"I will give you a larger share when the time comes."
Chthon was overjoyed.
He began chanting under his breath.
"A curse?"
Karl raised his eyebrows.
Platinum-white light flowed around his body, forming a barrier.
But at that moment.
Those hideous insects surged forward like a cloud.
Karl frowned, feeling an intense disgust.
With a wave of his hand, platinum-white holy flames enveloped his palm.
Terrifying mental force erupted.
The platinum-white flames shot forward in a fan shape.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The flames burned in midair.
The temperature rose by over a hundred degrees in an instant, and the air filled with the smell of scorching heat.
Those hideous insects were swallowed by the platinum-white flames.
But very quickly, Karl's expression changed.
Because his flames were being devoured.
At the same time, those insects were splitting madly.
In just a brief instant, the scale of the swarm had actually doubled.
"What an ignorant human."
"These are monsters created from the blood of the God-Eater."
"You actually thought you could crush them with power of this level? How naive!"
Krakkan mocked him mercilessly.
His species was not an ordinary one.
They could cultivate all kinds of miraculous insects.
During the ancient war among the gods, he had obtained the blood of the God-Eater.
From it, he had cultivated these incomparably precious insects.
Even he only had this one batch.
Using them against Karl now could not have been more suitable.
These energy-devouring creatures were practically the natural enemies of sorcerers.
All kinds of magic would be unable to exist before these insects. They would be devoured.
Their numbers would only continue to increase.
In this short span of time, the swarm had already doubled in size.
Krakkan felt that this man would be devoured by these insects.
Chthon also nodded in satisfaction.
This Great Demon had finally brought out something useful.
How powerful was Atum, the God-Eater?
Back then, he had chased the powerful gods of Earth into desperate flight.
Anything that possessed the God-Eater's bloodline was bound to be terrifyingly powerful.
It could be said that even Chthon himself would find these things extremely troublesome if he encountered them now. He would have to keep his distance.
He very much wanted to see how Karl would deal with them.
Aside from the Law of the Soul, which ignored defenses, even ordinary laws had no real way to deal with these insects.
Sure enough, Karl used his own laws several times in a row, trying to clear away the insects.
But none of it achieved any good result.
Instead, it only made the swarm grow a little larger.
"Kid, you are out of options now, aren't you? Wait for death!"
"So what if your physical body is powerful?"
"My precious little ones will slowly devour you."
Krakkan laughed loudly as he spoke.
Great Demons were exactly this kind of brainless brute.
"You are celebrating a little too early."
Karl said calmly.
At the same time.
Powerful mental force spread outward, and a certain indescribable fluctuation unleashed immense power.
