The power of each law requires the use of corresponding innate Daoqi and postnatal Daoqi to combine.
The sixty-two kinds of postnatal Daoqi are very easy to find; they are all over the world.
Just this innate Daoqi is particularly hard to find, and most people really can't find it.
Chen Yun had not paid too much attention to these until the last time he condensed the power of the "Murder" law, and then began to value the innate Daoqi.
He had once swallowed three fire dates, and the innate Daoqi contained within each one combined differently with the postnatal Daoqi. Although there are only ten kinds of innate Daoqi, when combined with postnatal Daoqi, they undergo countless transformations and mysteries, allowing a person to manifest different Dao bodies.
Chen Yun has now activated the powers of two fire dates, possessing the Thunder Fire Dao body and the Gold Demon Dao body.
As for the third fire date's power, he has not yet sensed it, not knowing when the third Dao body will manifest.
According to Zhong Liqian and Zhang Tianzi's saying, the more fire dates one consumes, the stronger the Dao body that manifests later on will be.
Chen Yun can deduce this from the comparison between the Thunder Fire Dao body and the Gold Demon Dao body. Indeed, it is like that.
These are side issues and are not mentioned here.
After learning about the power of the "Confinement and Kill" law, Chen Yun immediately recognized that its core innate Daoqi was exactly the same as the innate Daoqi of his Thunder Fire Dao body.
Knowing this information made him very happy inside.
Originally, he was a bit worried that he had figured out the law without the corresponding innate Daoqi, which would count as white exploration.
Now that the Thunder Fire Dao body has the corresponding innate Daoqi, it is a very good piece of news.
Chen Yun decided to try and see the power of the "Confinement and Kill" law.
Of course, the small cave is definitely not a suitable place for testing the power of the law.
Chen Yun slowly stood up and said, "I have just mastered the power of the law, and I am about to test its might. Fellow Daoists, would you like to join me for a viewing?"
Niu Daliang brightened up and said, "That would be perfect."
Jing Chen's elder sister was also interested. "So far, I have never seen the power of the law. Now that Master Chen is willing to demonstrate, naturally, I want to see for myself."
Chen Yun looked around, choosing a suitable location for the experiment.
So, he pointed to the front and said, "Let's go try it on that mountain over there."
At this point, he looked at the Eternal Shadow in the doorway, "Eternal Shadow, don't run around here. I'll be back in a minute."
The monocled golden light beast let out a loud roar, indicating that it would comply with the command.
Without saying any more, Chen Yun waved his hand, using his Dao-light to cover Niu Daliang and Jing Chen's bodies and transport them to a nearby mountain top in an instant.
...
On the mountain top, it was now afternoon.
The slightly warm sunlight poured down on the boundless green leaves, making one feel at ease and refreshed.
Some ordinary small animals were looking for food.
Of course, there were also some weaker spirit beasts lurking in the shadows.
As soon as Chen Yun arrived, he immediately manifested his Thunder Fire Dao body without hesitation.
A thunderous boom echoed from within his body.
Instantly, his body swelled with the wind, transforming into an terrifying and ferocious figure: a towering figure of four or five zhang (cubits) in height with a blue face, sharp fangs, hair like cinnabar, and wings with both wind and thunder on its back.
Niu Daliang looked on and couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration, "Fantastic! Fantastic! What a powerful Dao body!"
Jing Chen's elder sister felt a powerful aura and couldn't help but exclaim, "I never knew that Master Chen could manifest such a powerful Dao body. It seems that in the Tianyuegong Cavern, with the exception of some super spirit beasts, you are virtually unstoppable."
Chen Yun smiled, "The Dao body naturally enhances combat abilities without a doubt, but it still counts as external force. It is far inferior to the growth of one's own cultivation level and realm."
When he spoke, he sensed how much his Thunder Fire Dao body was enhancing him.
A powerful force surged and ascended within his body.
It seemed that with just a lift of his hand or a step of his foot, he could destroy an entire small world.
The powerful force made him deeply immersed in it.
Chen Yun secretly analyzed, "Manifesting the Thunder Fire Dao body should allow me to achieve a level of invincibility at the initial stage of Earth spirit realm."
This enhancement is undoubtedly huge, for he had just broken through to the initial stage of the Earth spirit realm. Some people may have lingered in the initial stage of the Earth spirit realm for a thousand or two years. Just how potent is their accumulated cultivation power? Most people would dare not imagine it. Yet, by manifesting the Thunder Fire Dao body, he has hope of being invincible at the initial stage of the Earth spirit realm, which is a tremendous improvement.
From this, it can be deduced that if he were to manifest a more powerful Gold Demon Dao body, he indeed would have the capital to compete with the mid-stage Earth spirit realm.
At this moment, Niu Daliang asked, "Master Chen, are you going to use the law's power?"
Jing Chen's elder sister didn't say anything, but her expression was extremely serious. Clearly, she wanted to memorize the scene of Chen Yun manifesting the law's power.
Chen Yun, who had transformed into a Thunder Fire Dao body of four or five zhang (cubits) in height, waved his hand and explained, "The first time I manifest the law's power won't be fast. I need to construct it first and then I can release it. Please wait here for a moment."
"Understood."
"Please, Master Chen."
Niu Daliang and Jing Chen closed their mouths, fearing they might disturb Chen Yun in manifesting the law's power.
Whispers of breeze swept past, swaying the boundless green grass.
Chen Yun stood there and began to attempt to construct the law's power.
He had already condensed the power of the "Murder" law and knew that in order to manifest it, he needed to congeal something similar to an "energy field" based on the observed structure.
This time, the core of the "Confinement and Kill" law to be constructed is the innate Daoqi of the Thunder Fire Dao body, which is "blue".
As he knew how to do it, Chen Yun didn't waste any time and began immediately by mobilizing one strand of innate Daoqi as the core and then absorbing various postnatal Daoqi, combining them.
He began to construct according to the pattern he remembered of the "Confinement and Kill" law.
It required over one trillion postnatal Daoqi to adorn the innate Daoqi.
This number is ten times larger than the power of the "Murder" law.
The number of over one trillion is so vast that it may be almost endless to ordinary people.
But for Chen Yun, a immortal of the Earth spirit realm, it is merely a matter of thought.
Now the only thing he needed to pay attention to was not to arrange the postnatal Daoqi's order wrong.
Chen Yun began to arrange the Daoqi.
Firstly, he inserted a trace of golden star system-like Daoqi.
Then came a bit of green point-like Daoqi.
A little Daoqi was subtly dispersed into various parts of the innate Daoqi.
In fact, these Daoqi were intangible and formless. The so-called star system-like, point-like, and various colors were all seen by Chen Yun from a "microscopic" perspective, not real in that sense.
Ten.
One thousand.
One million.
The beginning was relatively smooth.
Unfortunately, when arranging the third ten million and forty thousand postnatal Daoqi, Chen Yun accidentally placed one point of postnatal Daoqi in the wrong place.
Instantly, the core innate Daoqi trembled.
A powerful force surged out of his body.
Chen Yun only felt a powerful impact, fortunately, he had become much stronger than before, so he didn't get his qi boiling up as he had done when condensing the "Murder" law's power last time.
He was not surprised by this. "Condensing the power of the law is inherently a dangerous thing. Placing over thirty million postnatal Daoqi onto the innate Daoqi will produce a powerful force that won't harm me, but if there is a backlash from annihilating hundreds of billions or even hundreds of millions of postnatal Daoqi, it could still injure me."
It is precisely because he knows the terrifying consequences of accidentally releasing postnatal Daoqi, that he becomes even more careful.
Chen Yun no longer arranged in a quick motion of thought as he did before, but instead slowly attracted postnatal Daoqi into his body and then compared it with the memory of the "Confinement and Kill" law's structure to arrange it.
As a result, the speed was much slower.
However, Chen Yun paid no mind to this.
Because he knew that "practice makes perfect".
Currently, he was not very skilled in condensing the "Confinement and Kill" law's power, and it was quite slow.
If he becomes familiar with it later, it will only take a thought.
After all, this is just the beginning, so it's only natural for it to be slow.
For example, the "Murder" law's power, Chen Yun's initial construction speed was also very slow, but with familiarity, the construction speed became faster and faster. Any skill requires practice to become familiar with it.
Just as Chen Yun was thinking, Niu Daliang and Jing Chen couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
They had just sensed a very terrifying power arising within Chen Yun's body. Although it quickly dissipated, the feeling was as if, if released, it would utterly erase them.
Chen Yun naturally didn't know what Niu Daliang and Jing Chen were thinking. He continued to construct the law.
A bit of postnatal Daoqi was embedded in it.
Ten thousand points of postnatal Daoqi were embedded within.
Seventy-seven and sixty-nine points of postnatal Daoqi were embedded within.
Time passed one second at a time.
After two or three minutes, Chen Yun had embedded over eighty billion different points of postnatal Daoqi into it.
So far, there hasn't been a mistake.
He wasn't in a hurry to continue embedding, but instead carefully recalled it again, and then carefully proceeded with his work.
This time, the speed was much faster than before.
After two more minutes, he had embedded thirty trillion points of postnatal Daoqi "particles".
Chen Yun gradually began to understand, and then he accelerated his speed.
After eight minutes, only eight points of postnatal Daoqi particles remained to be embedded.
Chen Yun became more cautious.
He wasn't in a hurry to continue embedding.
He recollected once more what the next postnatal Daoqi "particle" was.
An orange star system-like particle was embedded.
A mystical small round pearl-like particle was embedded.
Finally, a trace of golden star system-like particle was embedded within.
In the next moment, the construction was completed!
In an instant, a terrifying and fierce force surged within Chen Yun's body.
He had a feeling that as soon as he blinked, this "Confinement and Kill" law's power would surge out, trapping people or objects, and then be shredded by a powerful force.
Yes!
He felt the power of entrapment and death!
"I wonder if the 'Confinement and Kill' law's power is as strong as the 'Murder' law's power."
Chen Yun had not used it, so he naturally didn't know.
He didn't know, but Niu Daliang and Jing Chen on the side could already feel the terrifying power building up within Chen Yun's body.
This power was so terrifying that Niu Daliang and Jing Chen could sense that if it enveloped them, it would make them completely lost and then be annihilated utterly.
Chen Yun decided to test just how powerful the "Confinement and Kill" law's power truly was.
Thoughts swirling in his mind, he focused his gaze on the towering ancient tree in front of him.
He mobilized the "Confinement and Kill" law's power within his body.
In an instant, Chen Yun felt this power arriving at his eyes, not like the "Murder" law's power that arrived at his mouth.
As this power arrived at his eyes, before it could be released, a terrifying force of suppression began to spread throughout the heavens and earth.
The force of suppression was so terrifying that even Chen Yun, at the early stage of the Earth spirit realm, felt as if he would be suppressed by it forever and never be able to rise again.
It was as if it could suppress all living creatures and things in the world.
Chen Yun didn't stop experimenting. He pushed that force out from his eyes.
Suddenly, a flash of blue light.
The entire heavens and earth seemed to have turned into an indigo hue.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and everything seemed to have withered.
The blue light shot from Chen Yun's eyes transformed into a needle-thin beam of light, piercing through time, space, and everything in the world, and instantly struck the ancient tree in front.
There was no earth-shattering scene.
On the contrary, the ancient tree seemed to have transformed from "three-dimensional" into "two-dimensional" all of a sudden, just like turning a living thing into a painting!
Chen Yun could feel that with just a thought, this painting would dissipate, and with it, the tree within would also vanish.
He wasn't sure if this feeling was an illusion, so he immediately willed his mind.
Instantly, the tree that had become "two-dimensional" trembled, turned into ashes, and scattered on the ground.
Niu Daliang and Jing Chen saw this scene and all gasped in horror!
Because they could all sense that this towering ancient tree was "form and spirit" under Chen Yun's law power suppression and killing, with only a trace of the spirit light of a living being left, returning to the void.
What does this represent?
This means that if they had faced this terrifying law power just now, they would have been completely destroyed and their souls would have vanished, leaving no chance for them to be reincarnated. They could only hope for good luck and the nurturing of their lifeless spirit light by some innate Daoqi someday.
Chen Yun had seen the "Murder" law's power, which was even more powerful in terms of "Destructive Power". Now seeing the "Confinement and Kill" law's power only cause the target to be completely destroyed and its spirit vanished, he was not surprised at all. After all, the "Murder" law's power could cleanly eliminate even the life imprint. If analyzing purely in terms of "Destructive Power", the "Confinement and Kill" law's power is indeed weaker.
Although the "Confinement and Kill" law's power is slightly weaker in terms of "Destructive Power," it is actually more suitable for combat than the "Murder" law's power.
When Chen Yun released this law's power, he clearly sensed that everything of the towering ancient tree in front of him was frozen, then engulfed in a special "two-dimensional" space made by the blue light, and finally crumbled under the pressure from within, disappearing into thin air.
It carries precious suppression attributes, avoiding the embarrassment of some spells and laws being unable to hit.
Of course, it does have its drawbacks.
In fact, it has two weaknesses.
The first weakness is that Heaven is benevolent and often leaves a glimmer of hope.
The "Confinement and Kill" law's power leaves a thread of life, meaning that if the person trapped can find a way to break free, they will not be shredded by the power within.
There are two methods to escape from being trapped.
The first is to find the "Confinement and Kill" law's power-generated strange space "air gate", which can easily free oneself from the trap, this is irrelevant to strength.
The second is to possess much stronger strength than Chen Yun's, shattering this force in one go, thus escaping.
As for how much stronger one needs to be, Chen Yun can't determine that for now, but he believes that even an average Earth spirit realm cultivator is unlikely to shatter this law power. Unless they have some powerful artifact, they will have to wait and die.
As for the second weakness……
The second cannot be said to be a defect of the "Confinement and Kill" law's power; it's more a limitation of the Lei Huo (Thunder-Fire) physical form.
Chen Yun just released the "Confinement and Kill" law's power once, and he felt that there was a faint sense of exhaustion in his innate Daoqi.
That is to say, during the manifestation of his innate Lei Huo (Thunder-Fire) physical form, Chen Yun could only cast the "Confinement and Kill" law's power once, and could not perform a second casting.
As for how to perform a second casting, the method is actually very simple. It's simply to return to normal form, let the natural restoration of the primordial Daoqi bring it back to its peak, and then it can be used again.
Thoughts here, he roughly understood the power and effect of the "Confinement and Kill" law's power.
Additionally, he had a vague feeling that this law's power was somewhat like the "Mountain River Society Map" of the female fairy Nuwa from the "Legends of Investiture of the Gods", though it doesn't have as many functions, but it is even more powerful in terms of killing power.
The "Mountain River Society Map" of Nuwa has the ability to change into four forms.
The so-called four forms of change means that it can change the surrounding environment according to the thoughts of the one entering, that is: think of mountains and they become mountains, think of water and they become water.
Yuan Hong's true form was a white monkey, and his preference was for peaches, so that is why a peach tree laden with divine peaches appeared before him.
Since what one thinks will appear in front of them, it means that the ones in front of him are all beautiful scenes. Therefore, there is the meaning of "not thinking of returning to the state of leisure", in this case, naturally, there is no thought of going out.
As for the other abilities, they are not written in "Legends of Investiture of the Gods".
Chen Yun's "Confinement and Kill" law's power cannot perform the four transformations, but it does allow those trapped to be aware of their confinement and resist. However, it also has the subsequent power to kill, and its key strength is significant, which is a aspect not demonstrated by the "Mountain River Society Map".
After analyzing it, Chen Yun realized that the "Confinement and Kill" law's power is very strong, strong enough for him to have a chance of winning against super-powerful beasts at the top of the Earth Spirit realm!
Although he can only cast the "Confinement and Kill" law's power once while manifesting his Lei Huo (Thunder-Fire) physical form, it can help him eliminate a super powerful beast. This way, he only needs to face one super powerful beast, increasing his chances of victory!
Thinking of this, Chen Yun couldn't help but look toward the southwest basin, musing to himself, "Whether it's the Golden Scissors, the Golden Axe, or even the heavenly and earthly spiritual roots and precious materials that I currently lack, this time I am determined to obtain them!"
