Chapter 1087: Power Testing (2)
With the power of darkness enveloping the other law powers, it was easy to bind the different powers together.
However, that was just putting the powers together. To completely fuse them was much harder and increasingly challenging with each additional law power added to the mix.
Furthermore, some powers mixed well while others conflicted and made fusion far more difficult.
Nevertheless, Leon continued to test the limits of his abilities and power output. He proceeded to add the lightning power to the mix.
Lightning and fire had always produced great destructiveness. Even so, the result still exceeded his expectation.
After fusing lightning power with fire, solar, and dark powers, Leon was able to produce an attack on the same level as the very peak of Mid Paragon, just a bit short of reaching the power of Late Paragons.
Leon fired the quadruple-law-powered attack at the Whitebone Fiends below before he witnessed a new result that differed from the previous three instances of his attacks.
This time, the black lightning lost both its destructive range and penetrative power. But in return, it gained pure destructiveness.
Multiple Whitebone Fiends were obliterated—almost the same way the Destruction Law would affect them.
Afterward, Leon fused the wood power with lightning, fire, solar, and darkness and produced a power that rivaled the Peak Paragons.
Furthermore, the quintuple-law-powered attack gained a chain reaction effect that allowed it to bounce from target to target indiscriminately, obliterating everything organic within a fixed distance.
It wasn"t just strong; it was extremely deadly.
"I should be careful when using this kind of attack in the future," Leon frowned in thought.
He could easily wipe out his own people if they were ever caught in the attack, whether it was an accident or not.
"On the other hand, I have only fused one-third of my Law Fruits, and I even picked the relatively easier ones to fuse together," Leon muttered to himself.
Of course, there were also other combinations of law power he could try, like the primary five elemental powers.
However, he already understood what kind of power he could produce from that; it wouldn"t increase his attack power like he had sought.
"I am already nearing my limit. Whatever I try to fuse with the previous five law powers at this point will have conflicting properties. An imperfect fusion will cause a loss of power…"
Nevertheless, this was what he was testing for – to experiment and explore what he could and couldn"t do, so he wouldn"t make critical mistakes during important moments.
Even if he deemed a s.e.xtuple law fusion to be extremely difficult, he still had to try it.
"I have the highest accomplishment in the Death Law right now… But the Death Law won"t increase the destructiveness of my current combination of law powers…" Leon mused.
The power of death was Yin in nature, while lightning, fire, and solar power were all Yang.
Adding death power into the combination would only generate a loss of power from the conflicting powers canceling each other out.
"As I thought, if I want to continue increasing the destructiveness of my attack beyond quintuple law fusion, there"s only one thing suitable power to use," Leon thought after some contemplation.
Shortly after, Leon started to fuse the power of his Destruction Fruit into the quintuple-law-powered attack to create a s.e.xtuple-law-powered attack.
However, the proceeded more smoothly than he antic.i.p.ated.
At that point, the quintuple law fusion combination was already similar to the power of destruction. After adding destruction power into the mix, they merged like two magnets attracted to each other.
More importantly, the power generated from his successfully s.e.xtuple law fusion soared like adding oil to fire.
Leon couldn"t contain the power for long before he was forced to fire it at the Whitebone Fiends. The result was a destructive blast that wiped out thousands of Whitebone Fiends in an instance.
Even Chief Irons.h.i.+eld and the others standing on the hill quite some distance away from the area felt the aftermath of the powerful blast.
Several elite warriors from the Divine Tortoise Tribe were forced to look away due to the strong winds hurting their eyes.
When the force died down and they could observe the situation ahead once more, they were quickly stunned by what they saw.
A huge crater was created as a result of Leon"s s.e.xtuple-law-powered attack.
Fuuu!
"T-this… this is the Lord"s power? H-how powerful!" Chief Sar-Raks.h.i.+ exclaimed after sucking in a deep breath of cool air.
"I didn"t know shamanic powers could reach such an extent… Even the Battle G.o.d"s shamanic power wasn"t this stronger…" an elite warrior from the Divine Tortoise Tribe commented.
Due to the elite warrior"s lack of knowledge, every power that wasn"t generated from physical might was automatically labeled as shamanic power.
"As expected of the Lord. Someone who could obtain the Golden Suanni Clan"s allegiance would definitely be extraordinary," another elite warrior from the Divine Tortoise Tribe commented excitedly.
The elite warriors were all glad that such a powerful person was their Lord.
…
Meanwhile, Leon continued to hover in the sky while looking down on the result of his attack.
"About the same level as a Half-step Divine Origin, huh?" Leon quietly muttered with a calm look, feeling neither surprised nor disappointed by the result.
It was as if he had expected—or rather, calculated as much.
"An Early-stage Truth Manifestation Realm cultivator that can use energy-based attacks on the same level as Half-step Divine Origin Realm pract.i.tioners… Something like this would definitely be unheard of," Leon thought with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Nevertheless, this sort of law fusion was only possible because of his True Grandmist Body"s high affinity with the elements.
The power of darkness from his Truth Manifestation Tree was only meant to let me use multiple law powers simultaneously and not as a single fused ent.i.ty.
That being said, Leon wondered how powerful the attack would be if he used the power from all of his fifteen Law Fruits simultaneously.
"I don"t think it would be more powerful than a s.e.xtuple law fusion attack, but it shouldn"t be weak either. I will find out shortly…" Leon mused while preparing for his next test.
If the destructive power isn"t too bad, he wouldn"t mind using it more often.
After all, a s.e.xtuple law fusion attack was simply too demanding in terms of energy consumption.
An ordinary Early-stage Truth Manifestation Realm cultivator wouldn"t have the energy reserve for that level of attack.
