Wizard, I have a game board.

Chapter 355 Irritability
He spent five days endlessly dissecting the Tide Spirit using various methods.

Just now, we finally discovered the fundamental reason that sustains the existence of this Tide Spirit.

It was a manifestation of power that was fundamentally more powerful than the laws themselves, the difference being like that between elemental power and the power of laws—so great that they were simply incomparable.

According to Lor's speculation, that thing seems to be composed of several, or even dozens, of laws, as if it possesses almost inexhaustible vitality, which is why the Tide Spirit exhibits such heaven-defying life force.

The one who possesses such abilities must be a ninth-tier being of the Silkworm Dream Civilization.

If the ninth-tier being behind this Tide Spirit merely created an unkillable sixth-tier being, it wouldn't even be surprising to him.

However, the entire vortex plane sea has more than just this one sixth-order tide spirit; there are countless fourth-order, fifth-order, and sixth-order spirits, and even quite a few seventh-order and eighth-order spirits.

It should be known that an eighth-order being combined with a supreme treasure of law is a hegemon, belonging to the first tier below the ninth order. However, a ninth-order being can easily create a bunch of eighth-order beings.

The difference was so great that even a child could understand it.

"@#%&**——"

Looking at the still squeaking sixth-tier Tide Spirit, Lor took a deep breath, abandoned it, and activated his spatial jump spell to leave.

This thing's immortality comes from the ninth-tier being behind it, which cannot be replicated on itself and is of no value to it.

The only significance was to let him understand from another perspective what level of power the ninth rank represented.

There's no point in arguing with it any longer; it's more important to find the seventh-order law treasure and record the location of the eighth-order law treasure.

"According to the list of information exchanged by civilizations, when an unseized treasure of the law is born, it will emit a strange fluctuation."

While using spatial jump to spin around in the vortex plane sea, Lor recalled the basic knowledge about the vortex plane sea: "This strange fluctuation covers a very large area. A seventh-tier treasure can radiate a distance of a thousand spatial nodes, and an eighth-tier treasure can radiate a distance of ten thousand spatial nodes."

"The strange fluctuations will not disappear until a living being collects them."

"And the longer the Tide Spirits guard it, the weaker this strange fluctuation will become."

"When a Law Treasure is first created, whether it is a seventh-order or eighth-order Law Treasure, there are actually no Tide Spirits guarding it."

"If someone happens to come across it, they can seize it without any hindrance. This is one of the ways for a seventh-order being to obtain an eighth-order treasure, and it is also the easiest way to do so."

"In addition, we can wait for the strange fluctuations to disappear and for the Tide Spirits to enter the chaotic battle phase, then take advantage of the situation and seize the Law Treasures by force."

For him, if he encountered a seventh-order law treasure, he wouldn't need to worry about the tide spirits guarding the treasure; he could simply use spatial jump magic to rush in and snatch it.

In any case, the maximum space confinement they add is only two hundred points, which is hardly a threat.

However, seventh-tier law treasures are ultimately just a small part, with each one only worth one to ten law points.

To truly make a fortune, one must find an eighth-tier treasure and note the time when the strange fluctuations disappear.

Then, wait until the Tide Spirits stop maintaining the joint defensive barrier and fall into a chaotic battle before trying to seize the eighth-tier law treasure.

Lor cast spatial jump spells again and again, pausing slightly each time he emerged from the spatial rift to sense the so-called strange fluctuations.

Only half an hour had passed when he detected a strange fluctuation of laws.

He gleaned two pieces of information from this fluctuation: the location of the source of the fluctuation and the rank and type of the source's supreme treasure.

"Beyond the more than 2,300 spatial nodes in the west, there is an eighth-order wind-elemental law treasure." After obtaining the information, Lor decisively turned west and cast a spatial jump spell.

Unless it is a newly born eighth-order law treasure, there are at least nearly a hundred seventh-order tide spirits surrounding it.

There's no way to snatch it now, so we can only go there first, note down the specific coordinates and leave a spatial mark, and then go to the edge of the strange fluctuation to check the speed at which the fluctuation is shrinking.

Only when the strange fluctuations completely disappear should we seize the eighth-order law treasure.

The vortex surface is located in the southern part of the eastern sea.

Above a massive vortex, 186 seventh-tier Tide Spirits joined forces to create a defensive water curtain covering an area of ​​tens of millions of miles, releasing beams of water elemental light towards a wisp of azure light located at their center.

As these beams of light bombarded the area, a blue barrier that existed only in their eyes gradually dimmed at an extremely slow pace.

"In a little over two hundred years, the defensive barrier will be completely worn away," a seventh-tier Tide Spirit near the outer edge said excitedly.

"Yes, although this treasure is not a king-level treasure and we cannot control it, it is still possible to take it to the upper levels and exchange it with the great beings of the emperor level for a water-type king-level treasure."

"Don't get too excited. It would be ridiculous if the treasure ended up being snatched away by outsiders."

"With so many of our spirits present, would they dare to come?"

"In any case, we should still be careful; it's not like we haven't been robbed before."

"This treasure is mine, so don't even think about it."

"Heh, you are indeed the strongest among us, but only slightly stronger. Did you really think you were invincible?"

"Exactly, anyone who didn't know better would think you have a priceless treasure."

"Hmph, just you wait and see."

The group of seventh-tier Tide Spirits were not on good terms as they wore down the defensive barrier and mocked each other.

After all, there is only one supreme treasure, and it cannot be divided. We can only wait until the defensive barrier is completely worn away, and then each of us will have to rely on our own abilities to grab it.

Beyond the defensive water curtain erected by these tide spirits, more than a dozen seventh-tier beings of varying appearances watched the tide spirits' actions from afar.

They are all waiting for the moment when the Tide Spirits clash, hoping to seize an opportunity to grab an eighth-tier Law Treasure.

Once they successfully seize the treasures of the laws and take them out, their fates will all be changed.

"Tear--"

Just then, a spatial rift opened more than 50 million miles away from the defensive water curtain, and Lor's figure emerged from it.

About five million miles away from Lor, there are two seventh-order beings not far apart.

One is a silver dragon with a wingspan of 100 meters, and the other is a cyan sphere with a diameter of about half a meter.

"A time-space transgressor?!"

"Is he really coming?"

They were both taken aback when they saw Lor.

They initially thought the person who posted the message was just trying to attract attention, since sixth-tier items and mastering the laws of treasures were completely unrelated and too unrealistic.

However, when they actually saw Lor, they became uncertain again.

Lor used his perception to spread out the virtual and real space, scanning the two nearby seventh-tier beings without paying them any attention, and continued to advance. Before long, he had covered an area of ​​132.55 million miles with his virtual and real space and perception. This was the limit of the range that his virtual and real space could radiate after being combined with various characteristics and the seventh-tier spacetime treasure, Spacetime Sand.

Eight seventh-tier beings surrounding the defensive water curtain, the defensive water curtain with a diameter of thirty million miles, and one hundred and eighty-six seventh-tier tidal spirits were all reflected in his perception.

Besides these creatures, he also discovered three spatial imprints, which were obviously left by other spatial faction cultivators who arrived before him.

“There should be some seventh-tier beings waiting here for the strange fluctuations to disappear, but they are insignificant and pose no threat to me.” Lor left a spatial mark on the spot and disappeared into the void. Then he used spatial jump again and jumped back in the direction he came from.

Once the coordinates are determined, the next step is to determine the maximum distance covered by the singular fluctuation and the rate of reduction.

That spatial imprint was left casually, essentially as a way to keep an eye on the situation here at any time.

Even if it gets damaged, at most it'll just be a bit of a hassle when they come looking for it.

He figured no one would be so impulsive as to hide it, so he didn't bother to keep it.

"We've gained another competitor we can't afford to fight," the silver dragon sighed helplessly.

They came here to change their fate.

If you accidentally kill that person, forget about changing your fate; you'll probably be killed by the management in an instant.

It doesn't care if cultivators from purely spatial factions try to snatch the treasures of the laws it has its eye on; what it fears is encountering those with powerful backgrounds who are simply untouchable.

In terms of background, no one in the entire vortex plane is stronger than him.

"He only needs to stay in the plane cluster and he can get more than 11,000 law points every 10,000 years. Why would he come out and risk competing with us for an eighth-tier treasure?" the cyan sphere asked, puzzled.

In its view, it would be easy for this person to simply follow the steps, become the overlord of the spacetime faction, and gain a place in the crystal domain.

And because it is valued by managers, there is no need to worry about it being nipped in the bud.

However, the situation is different in the vortex plane sea.

First of all, those tide spirits don't care about his identity; they will show no mercy and he will perish if he is not careful.

Secondly, when fighting for treasures, some beings might become bloodthirsty and lose their minds, and they might not care about the other person's identity.

Only geniuses who realize their potential can become strong; once they fall along the way, they lose everything.

"Who knows what he's thinking?" The silver dragon shook its head in frustration.

"Actually, there's no need to be too wary."

The cyan sphere said, "When you face him, remember not to use the Annihilation Law; use any other methods you like."

"Targeting his root cause won't work, but if we use other methods to stall for time, I believe we won't attract trouble from the management."

The Law of Annihilation is a law that directly targets the source power. If not controlled properly, it may directly exhaust the source power of that spacetime transcendent being, so it must never be used.

However, simply killing him a few times will not consume much of his original power for resurrection.

Alternatively, it could be temporarily banned and then reopened after the competition ends.

Even if the manager cherishes this person, they probably wouldn't take action for this.

“I know,” the silver dragon replied irritably.

What it hates most is having to hold its hands and feet back when fighting, but facing that guy, even the overlords in the upper sea layer of the vortex plane wouldn't dare to act recklessly, so what can it do?
Outside of the 2,433 spatial nodes.

As Lor emerged from the spatial rift, he suddenly discovered that the strange fluctuations emanating from the eighth-order wind-element treasure had vanished.

"Looks like I'm in luck; this wind-element treasure has been around for quite some time now." Lor's eyes lit up.

When the eighth-tier treasure was first created, the range of its strange fluctuations covered 10,000 spatial nodes.

Now there are only 2,433 spatial nodes left, less than a quarter of the way.

Without hesitation, he immediately jumped westward several more times until he finally found the boundary of the strange fluctuations.

This boundary is not static, but is constantly shrinking at an extremely rapid pace.

"Based on the distance between here and the location of the eighth-order wind-elemental treasure, the Tide Spirits will enter the second stage in about 273 years." Lor easily calculated the time when the Tide Spirits would enter the chaotic battle stage based on the rate at which the boundary was shrinking.

After silently noting the result in his mind, he then leaped southeast to continue searching for the locations of other treasures of the laws.

As a cultivator of the spatial faction, he didn't need to wait idly there. He could use this time to memorize the locations of more eighth-order law treasures and also collect some seventh-order law treasures.

Thirteen days later.

The vortex plane is located in the southeast of the sea.

"Huh, there's a seventh-order water-based law treasure outside the twelve spatial nodes in the south?" As Lor emerged from the spatial rift, he immediately caught a new piece of information and leaped southward.

This was the first time he had encountered a seventh-order Law Treasure. As for the eighth-order, besides the Wind Law Treasure, he also encountered a Life Law Treasure.

However, compared to the Wind Law Treasure, the Life Law Treasure still had 8,600 spatial nodes remaining, making it impossible to snatch it in a short time.

The reason why it is easier to find eighth-tier treasures than seventh-tier treasures is not because there are actually more eighth-tier treasures than seventh-tier treasures.

Rather, it's because if they put in the effort, a team of several seventh-tier beings or a single powerful seventh-tier being could still potentially snatch a seventh-tier law treasure directly from the Tide Spirit.

The eighth tier is no good, as it is already guarded by more than a hundred seventh-tier tide spirits. If they try to seize it, they will summon even more seventh-tier tide spirits.

If we get bogged down and can't break through the encirclement in a short time, we're doomed. We can only wait until they enter the melee phase and then try to fish in troubled waters.

Above a medium-sized vortex.

Sixteen seventh-tier tidal spirits erected a joint defensive water curtain spanning millions of miles, excitedly wearing down the defensive barrier outside the seventh-tier water-based law treasure.

According to their estimates, the defensive barrier surrounding this seventh-order law treasure will be completely destroyed in at most five years.

Whoever manages to seize it will be fully qualified to become a semi-emperor of a vast sea area, enjoying the support of countless clansmen and greatly accelerating their path to becoming a true emperor.

Outside the joint defensive water curtain, the three lone seventh-tier beings were on guard against each other while keeping a close eye on the situation inside the defensive water curtain.

Before they began their stakeout, they had naturally calculated the rate at which the strange fluctuations were shrinking. According to their estimates, it would take at most six years, and at least four years, for them to have a chance to snatch that seventh-order water-based treasure.

According to the mall's valuation, this water-based treasure is worth a whopping 3 points of law value when recycled.

Once you manage to snatch it and take it out, even if you give half to the alliance, you can still get 1.5 Law Values, enough to exchange for a slightly inferior seventh-tier Law Treasure.

Just as the Tide Spirit and the three seventh-tier beings were eagerly awaiting its arrival, a spatial rift crossed the combined defensive water curtain and suddenly appeared next to the black teardrop-shaped seventh-tier law treasure.
