Chapter 162: The True Essence of Power

  Lu Feng's inquiry did not bring any displeasure to Dao Chengtian. Or for other people's students, following the rules is the best way. But for a heaven-gifted first, weak and small entrance to the extreme dao demon, these are all non-existent. Those who enter the dao have absolute confidence in themselves. They will not appear in that arrogant and ignorant situation.

  Daosong Tian didn't answer directly, but instead turned around. At this moment, he lightly swung his arm. In an instant, a mysterious power appeared in the void. These powers converged and merged instantly. And just at the next moment, Daosong Tian waved his hand again towards the distance.

  In an instant, those powers coalesced into existence and charged straight towards the distant horizon.

  Power collided with the earth.

  Mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and the entire sky was completely covered with dust, forming a dusk scene!

  Witnessing this scene, Lu Feng's eyes slightly bulged. Such a scene was truly too shocking for him. A casual strike had actually reached such power. Lu Feng understood that the casual strike was dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than his full-force strike at its limit. The two were fundamentally incomparable.

  "Teacher, this..."

  Daogong turned around and looked at Lu Feng. He opened his mouth and said, "This is the law! When we chant scriptures and cultivate our skills, the power we unleash is the law!"

  What's wrong with you?

  It turns out that after Nianshi's Gongfa cultivation is successful, the power used is Fa!

  "The previous blow, I was fully utilizing the power of the Great Mind Master to launch it. During this time, there was no amplification of any power, if it were a warrior, that would be equivalent to a martial artist in the evolving period using their full strength under the operation of their technique."

  Lu Feng nodded, but the next moment he looked puzzled again.

  He could feel the power of this blow was dozens of times stronger than his strongest blow in his most powerful state. At that time, he had reached a destructive power of 10,000 stars by relying on his understanding of "quality" when using all his strength. 10,000 stars is just the limit of a warrior's body during the dramatic change period, which is only 9999 stars. This 10,000 stars is equivalent to the power of an initial dramatic change period body. However, Daosongtian said that the terrifying slaughter that far exceeded his strongest blow by dozens of times was just comparable to the power of a great master at the same level as a evolving period warrior!

  This was really hard for Lu Feng to believe.

  "Teacher, the Great Nen Master and the Awakening Stage Warrior are on the same level of existence. According to normal standards, among the ranks of Warriors, the Nen Master's terror level has increased, but it is still not a match for a Warrior. However, your previous blow was something that even an Awakening Stage Warrior couldn't easily achieve. Why is this?!"

  Lu Feng's words made Dao Songtian smile slightly. Looking at Lu Feng, he asked: "Lu Feng, do you know what the ultimate limit of power is, and what its most fundamental nature is?"

  Lu Feng sank into contemplation. He had never thought about this question before, or perhaps he had but couldn't come up with an answer. The essence of power was a problem that only those divine beings would think and pursue. For someone like him who hadn't even reached the level of a Martial Artist or a Great Mind Master, thinking about these things was too early and too profound.

  Lu Feng shook his head slightly, and Dao Songtian didn't think much of it either. He continued to smile and said: "Actually, the essence of power is the ultimate pursuit of all strong people, their final goal is to find the most fundamental and ultimate way of power, so as to have the strongest power, to achieve their own eternal immortality, and invincibility."

  "All roads lead to the same destination, whether it's a cultivator or a warrior, or those warriors from other races, such as the Heavenly Warriors and Mechanical Ones. They all ultimately head towards the same endpoint, just like us who have entered the path. Although the paths may not be connected, the final destination is always complete transcendence and immortality."

  Lu Feng nodded slightly and looked at Dao Congtian seriously. He knew that if he had to rely on himself to understand, it would probably take a very long time. Now with Dao Congtian's guidance, he would save countless hours.

  "In fact, whether they are high-level warriors or high-level cultivators, they can only be said to be wandering on the periphery. These existences have not yet truly entered the temple of power. Therefore, in the eyes of many strong people, even if they are powerful and against-the-heavens high-level warriors and cultivators, they will always be ants! Only by starting from understanding power can they truly be considered 'people' in the eyes of the strong!"

  "The end of power is actually the law!"

  "All professions, all the strong ones, ultimately rely on the power of laws to fight. And the only difference is that warriors have always relied on the power of laws, while we, the Nen practitioners, are ——"

  "Slave contract!"

  Slave law!

  In an instant, Lu Feng took a deep breath, and a shocking light appeared in his eyes. Slavery, what a terrifying term it is. The existence of the law, he had also heard of it until now. What kind of power was that? What kind of great terror was that?

  The law exists in infinite time and space, in every corner of the universe. They are truly eternal and indestructible, unaffected by the passage of time. Whether in the most desolate of lands or in the deepest of abysses, the law eternally exists. Its power is omnipresent, overwhelmingly strong!

  Warriors borrow the power of the law, this point is not difficult for Lu Feng to understand, after all, in the universe, only the power of the law is eternal. Borrowing the power of the law can truly achieve the strongest and unscrupulously use the most powerful force.

  But why is it that the law of slavery exists, and how can it be that one dares to enslave others?

  This is truly unbelievable...

  "From warriors entering the hall of power, becoming a martial artist begins. They gradually start to come into contact with power. 'Quality', 'Boundary', 'Border', or later the martial artist's level of 'Gas', 'Momentum', 'Meaning', or even the level that gods can touch. They all progress step by step, slowly starting to come into contact with the essence of the law's power."

  "But the Nianshi are different. From the very beginning, their cultivation is about enslaving the power of the laws. Our Nianshi techniques, the 'laws' we use, actually utilize the soul's power to carve out those eternal, restrictive laws that have been passed down, and enslave the power of the laws, turning it into a power that can be called upon!"

  "This is the difference between us and warriors."

  Lu Feng fell silent, deep in thought. At this moment, he was pondering the words of Dao Cong Tian. Perhaps others might find it difficult to understand. But for Lu Feng, there were not many obstacles. After all, apart from being a cultivator, he was also a martial artist. And his level as a martial artist was even more powerful, having almost reached the realm of "Jing" by now. So, these words were not hard for Lu Feng to understand.

  Gradually, a look of enlightenment seemed to appear on Lu Feng's face, his mouth slightly curled up, and everything suddenly became clear!

  Lu Feng looked at Dao Cong Tian and said seriously, "So, teacher. At the level of Da Nian Shi, Ling Nian Shi, and Wang Nian Shi, we are just strengthening our enslavement to the laws. However, due to our inherent weakness, the degree of enslavement is limited, and the power of restraint is also limited. It's precisely because of this reason that we can't compare to those warriors who progress step by step and borrow the power of the laws."

  "This is why we, even though we've grown stronger during our mid-term as a strong person, still can't compare to the warriors!"

  A bright light appeared in Daoge's Tianyan, he nodded slightly but didn't say anything.

  Lu Feng gained recognition from Dao Song Tian and became even more confident. The light in his eyes flickered, making it impossible for others to look directly at him.

  "But once we enter the later stages of a strong cultivator, our spiritual power and soul's strength are already enough to touch the core of the laws. So, we enslave the laws, and the law powers brought by those patterns will be incredibly powerful. But warriors are different, because they borrow, so the power they bring is limited. It's precisely for this reason that from the Divine Spirit Realm onwards, warriors are no longer our match!"

  Lu Feng had already understood this point.

  The law is like a rich man, while the monk and the warrior are like two persons.

  Two people need money, and the rich man is their source of it. The warrior is obedient to the rich man, he will choose to borrow money from him. And the rich man himself is too wealthy, so giving him some money doesn't matter.

  Nianshi is different, he robbed the rich of their money! In the early days, Nianshi was too weak and small, their abilities were limited, so the amount of money they could rob was limited, it couldn't be compared to the borrowed money.

  However, in the later stages, even if the warrior is strong enough, they still have to borrow. At that time, the amount borrowed also starts to increase. The rich man's money is his own after all, and he may lend it out, but the amount will not be as much as the warrior wants. But the bandits are different, they just rob! They take whatever they need from the rich man, no matter how unwilling he is. At this point, it's already not up to them to decide.

  That's all there is to it.

  "In fact, the strength of a warrior and a martial artist depends not only on their own basic power and level, but also on who can borrow more power from the laws!"

  "Teacher, your realm has reached an extremely terrifying level. Therefore, you can borrow as much power as you want. So the 'law' of the Great Mind Master level that is being displayed can achieve the most extreme limit of enslaving power. And it's precisely because of this reason that even if they are displaying the same level of power, your strength surpasses that of a strong Heaven God level! Is that right?"

  Daoge Tian's eyes shone with the brightest light. He looked at Lu Feng, filled with a strange emotion. At this moment, Daoge Tian was slightly distracted.
