Chapter 1384: True God Upper Level! Law Skill - All Within the Four Seas, Are the King's Subjects! Zhou Ba!
Chapter 1384: True God Rank! Law Technique - "The Riverside of the Land, No Subject to Sovereignty!" Zhou Ba!
Zhou Zhou looked at the Imperial Sovereign Holy Sword in his hands.
Beyond its unparalleled potential for growth, the sword itself possessed astonishing capabilities.
The Sacred Artifact Law 123 had not changed from its previous form, so there was no need to elaborate further.
Sacred Artifact Law 4—the innate Imperial Sovereign effect—had somehow elevated his Lord's Law Foundation Insight from a tenfold to a hundredfold!
This enhancement surpassed even the one granted by the Supreme Holy Sword.
It was hard to imagine just how extreme his Lord's Law Insight had become now.
As for Sacred Artifact Law 5—the Summoning of the Imperial Dragon—previously, it could only be used once, and after that single use, the artifact law would vanish forever.
Now, however, this artifact law had transformed into a permanently reusable summoning ability, significantly expanding its utility.
And Sacred Artifact Law 6—the Imperial Sovereign Weapon—was a brand-new addition to the artifact laws.
And this newly added divine rule effect is equally simple and brutally powerful!
The power and effect of any Lord's Rule Technique will surge by a factor of ten!
That is to say—
Whether it be 'King,' or 'The Universal Mastery of Stars and Laws,' or 'The Entire World Belongs to the Sovereign,' these three Lord's Rule Techniques, in terms of their effects and power, will all be amplified tenfold by the Emperor's Sacred Path Sword!
After all, these three techniques were already the three strongest back-up moves of Zhou Zhou. Amplifying their power by tenfold means Zhou Zhou's strength has once again surged into a new dimension!
"Indeed, the ultimate divine artifact of a Lord's Rule—worthy of the highest evolution!"
"Even this single ultimate artifact's enhancement surpasses the combined effect of ten such artifacts!"
Zhou Zhou stared with blazing eyes at the transformed Emperor's Sacred Path Sword in his hands.
After a brief glance, he instantly teleported back into his divine realm, entering the Palace of the Cycle of Rebirth, to begin meditating and refining the Lord's Rule.
He wanted to see.
With the blessing of the Supreme Holy Sword and the Emperor's Sacred Path Sword, what level has His comprehension reached now?
...
The next day.
Within the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth.
Zhou Zhou's divine consciousness departed from the realm of time and slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he awoke, he immediately sensed the changes within himself. Soon, astonishment and exhilaration bloomed across his face.
"One night, and I've ascended to a True God upper-tier deity?!"
"And I'm nearing the threshold of breaking through the Master God's bottleneck, entering the Master God realm?!!"
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
After all...
Even with the aid of the Grail Scroll and the Sacred Palace of Cycles, it was impossible for Him to elevate his understanding of law and his cultivation realm by such a vast margin in just one night.
And now, without relying on the Grail Scroll at all, He had effortlessly accomplished this step.
"My current mastery of dominion law is beyond comprehension!"
"I feel certain that even if I am now delving into the dominion laws of a Supreme God, my comprehension efficiency will still remain at a prodigious level—undoubtedly on par with a genius-level intellect!"
"Once I reach the Supreme God realm, I will surely not waste much time there, and I will ascend to the highest god tier in a remarkably short span!"
Upon sensing this, Zhou Zhou's mind grew even more stunned.
His current level of insight was terrifyingly extraordinary!
As long as no unforeseen circumstances arose, the realm of Supreme God would likely be his very minimum threshold.
As for the level of will, he felt he had a strong possibility of achieving it as well.
And thus.
It is not over yet.
With a single thought,
a new interface of Law Technique information appeared before Him.
He glanced at it.
[Law Technique Name: Rate Soil to the Shore, Not a Subject to the King]
[Quality: True God Upper Tier]
[Ability Overview: When you activate this Law Technique domain, all beings within the domain will gradually undergo subtle changes in their thoughts and wills, eventually becoming loyal subjects of yours from the depths of their own hearts.]
[You may consume half of your internal Chaos Divine Energy to instantly alter the thoughts and wills of beings within the domain, transforming them all into loyal subjects of yours. Currently, you can influence beings up to True God Upper Tier and below!]
After reading it through, Zhou Zhou murmured to himself,
"Throughout the world, there is no land not the king's. To forcibly transform another race's territory into one's own."
"Now that this Rate of the Frontier claims no sovereign is above it, yet can forcibly convert the subjects of other races within its domain into its own vassals."
"These two rule techniques are truly a perfect match!"
"And they can even be combined into a single technique."
"Once this combined technique is deployed, half the enemy's territories and half their population might be instantly under my control—achieving total subjugation without a single battle."
Zhou Zhou felt these two rule techniques would save him countless hours in the future.
Especially in the conquest of other races.
"The blessings of the Supreme Holy Sword and the Emperor's Holy Path Sword are overwhelming."
"Within a single night, I've not only ascended to a true god's realm but also mastered a new rule technique."
"This progress—something I could never have imagined before!"
After reflecting on this, Zhou Zhou turned his attention to his duties.
First, He employed his innate technique of duplicate manifestation to create his eighth incarnation.
This duplicate was named Zhou Ba, a name hastily and carelessly bestowed.
Yet, surprisingly, Zhou Ba accepted the name without hesitation.
Zhou Zhou, observing his temperament to be commendable, assigned him to Zhou Zheng, entrusting him with assisting in managing the daily affairs of the Jiaoyang Divine Realm.
Now, the expanse of the Jiaoyang Divine Realm has grown ever wider, and the administrative burdens have become increasingly intricate.
Even with the aid of ministers like Zheng Yuanqi, relying solely on Zhou Zheng to handle such a volume of affairs would soon prove overwhelming.
It was time to appoint a helper for Zhou Zheng.
No longer could every task be burdened upon a single duplicate.
External and internal matters of the realm were equally vital.
After placing Zhou Ba in service, Zhou Zhou flew to Muge, where he obtained the recruitment documents and promotion credentials from Wu Xin. Then, at the Gate of Summoning, he used sixteen scrolls of recruitment to summon sixteen new recruits.
"Adding my original 85 jing of soldiers, my forces have officially surpassed 100 jing, reaching a total strength of 117 jing!"
"One hundred jing of troops!"
"This number now matches the combined strength of the three top-bloodline races."
Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
Now, the Jiaoyang Divine Realm had matched not only the number of ordinary soldiers but also the count of ordinary divinities, equaling any one of the three premier bloodline races.
All that remained was to match their number of True Gods and Supreme Gods—once that was achieved, on the surface, the Jiaoyang Divine Realm would truly be on par with the three top-bloodline races.
Of course.
Zhou Zhou was confident that even if the Jiaoyang Divine Realm fell short in the number of Supreme Gods and True Gods compared to the elite bloodline races, in actual combat strength, they were already completely equal to those three premier races.
To defeat him, one would have to see all three races unite—otherwise, it was utterly impossible!
This was precisely why Zhou Zhou had allowed Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu to lead their armies into the Chaos Sea to annihilate the Chaos Deities and Monsters.
He was utterly unafraid that a single Chaos God race could pose any threat to Zhou Zhan and his companions.
