By then, it will be Zeus's turn to face difficulties!

"I admit, you have indeed impressed me a bit. It's rare from ancient times until now for someone to force me to this extent. Even with the constraints of the First Emperor and others, I must recognize your resolve and courage to achieve this." Zeus spoke after taking a deep breath.

Surprisingly, he didn't show the previous anger towards Wu Liang but instead praised him.

However, his tone quickly turned sinister as he said, "But! That's as far as it goes! I dare say you still are not a true Venerable! Even if you have crossed the threshold, you're still missing something!"

Hoo—

With that, a chill wind swept through the air.

With wild hair that had regrown after his head was almost completely smashed, Wu Liang's hair danced wildly in the chill wind.

At this moment, he resembled an ancient wandering samurai, exuding an inexplicable freedom and wildness.

He didn't continue to provoke Zeus.

Because the other party was indeed not wrong.

He was still missing something.

There was a kind of power in Zeus's strength that Wu Liang couldn't comprehend when he was hit.

At first, he thought with the Fierce Ghost Ability of the Thunderbird in hand, he would at least be okay in terms of lightning resistance.

But the reality was, Wu Liang found that his control over the lightning Fierce Ghost Ability couldn't affect the lightning unleashed by Zeus at all, even the cloud-formed fist felt like something unknown, rather than thunderclouds.

So the first time he received the lightning strike, he was struck completely black, like coal.

After slightly experiencing that unknown power, Wu Liang felt a connection and had the Thunderbird secretly analyze and consume it.

The second lightning strike, he managed to handle with the sacrifice of just one hand.

Then the third time, the lightning-cloud-formed fist smashed Wu Liang's proud shell with an overwhelming force. If he hadn't fused with Nightmare, Kitchen Knife Ghost, and Oil Paper Umbrella at that moment, he might have been pulverized.

But it was precisely because he broke through his limits and achieved the fusion of three ghosts.

Plus, after withstanding that seemingly unstoppable punch, and bathing completely in Zeus's violent lightning power, Wu Liang finally realized the essential difference between advancing from Lord to Venerable, which is from City Destruction to Destruction of the Country—

Law.

That mysterious power is a kind of Law in this Fierce Ghost World.

Zeus is not using the power of lightning; he is the existence representing lightning in this Fierce Ghost World.

"Speaking of laws... actually, I didn't even notice, it isn't something so far off as to be untraceable, from beginning to end I've always been in contact with this thing." Wu Liang muttered to himself somewhat manically.

Then, with a casual flick, all impurities on him steadily fell to the ground from his fingertips.

Now, with the Dark Sun yet to rise, only a strange pale blue crescent moon hung in the sky.

In this darkness where even the stars were almost unseen, at some point, a shade of night seemed to peel away, slowly draping over Wu Liang to form a long, dark coat.

This scene made Zeus momentarily speechless.

He had just said that Wu Liang was still short of something.

But now it appeared that the missing element was being gradually completed by the opposite party.

The appearance of the dark coat induced some mysterious Law even Zeus couldn't clearly articulate.

This coat, much like his own usage of the Law of lightning to form a lightning cloud fist, was something manifested directly by a certain Law.

"Hey, do you understand? This is the power of [reality]." Wu Liang's grin grew even more unrestrained.

He finally understood why [Ghost Compendium] kept guiding him to use the ability of [modify reality] in the real world, it was actually one of the top or even the strongest Laws!

His increasingly adept use of [modify reality] was a process of becoming more familiar with and comprehending this Law.

When he was punched into a blood and flesh pulp, Wu Liang's ability to regenerate into human form at a visible speed was naturally credited to [modify reality].

Previously, he had complained to Nightmare that [modify reality] was far easier in this Fierce Ghost World than in the reality.

That reshaping of his body a moment ago completely turned this ability into something of his own.

From this moment on, [modify reality] was no longer an ability Wu Liang could only achieve through [Ghost Compendium].

This was now Wu Liang's own ability!

"Reality? What nonsense are you speaking?" Zeus frowned, a bit confused, assuming the kid was trying to disrupt his judgment.

He represented the existence of thunder, clouds, rain, and all elements of the sky here, hence amongst the Fierce Ghosts, he was known as the Venerable of the Sky.

Poseidon concerned everything regarding the ocean, Da Yi controlled the life brought by the Dark Sun, and Yue Du represented the destruction under the moon.

Only the Law governed by the First Emperor remained uncertain through the ages, with neither Zeus nor other Venerables ever clearly determining what it was, but it seems to relate to the formation of realms.

However, since he was the first to propose the "War of Chaos," in the name of maintaining order, they restrained each other.

So there's no problem with the Fierce Ghosts calling him the Venerable of Order.

In summary, at least among the Venerables Zeus was aware of, even among other ordinary Venerables.

The Laws they master must certainly represent some specific existence in the world.

How could there be a Law directly representing reality in the world?

Isn't that equivalent to being an embodiment of the world's will?

This is simply nonsense!

"Ha, it's okay if you can't understand, you just need to know that you can't kill me now." Wu Liang patted the coat on his body, tauntingly.

This also left Zeus silent.

Indeed, at the very moment this kid truly ascended to Venerable, he was beyond my reach.

Because completely eradicating a Venerable would definitely not go unnoticed by other Venerables.

No matter how long Poseidon delayed, it made no difference.

Now I either turn and leave, or fight him and wait for the First Emperor to join forces with Da Yi and Yue Du for judgment.

But Zeus was unwilling! It was clearly just within reach!

Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't even require me personally. When the War of Chaos had just begun, Athena and other lords under my command should have overwhelmed Dragon City and taken the Supernatural Objects!

Even though Dragon City held out for so long, I've already arrived here.

Something seemingly within easy reach was blocked every step of the way by this unknown guy!

It's simply like entering a treasure-laden Jin Mountain but leaving empty-handed, such a sense of loss!

First time experiencing this in hundreds of years!

"Well... very good... hope you can stay holed up in Dragon City and never come out! Let me remind you, the War of Chaos ends in ten days, live well, live until the day I tear you apart!" Zeus laughed maniacally.

Then the entire ghost rose into the sky, disappearing in the endless clouds.

Leaving only Wu Liang flipping a middle finger upward in contempt, and the Magic Cube Dragon rushing over with a face full of worry.

Seeing the other approach, Wu Liang placed a hand on his shoulder and laughed, "How about it? I kept my word, didn't I? Even Zeus couldn't take your treasure! Do you want me to help heal your wounds? It's extra charge~"

Yet the Magic Cube Dragon's expression wasn't as relaxed as Wu Liang's.

With a bit of uneasiness, he asked, "You... have you really ascended to Venerable?"

"What else could it be? Do I need to notify you?" Wu Liang was somewhat puzzled as to why he seemed a little scared.

The Magic Cube Dragon sighed and said, "Then you're done for. After the War of Chaos, Zeus will likely tear you apart with all his might."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang's mouth twitched.

Somewhat uncertain, he asked back, "Are there not other Venerables to restrain him? I just relied on that to drive him away! Why can he attack me with full force after the War of Chaos?"

However, the Magic Cube Dragon explained helplessly, "Did you forget what we discussed earlier? The War of Chaos is about the Lord's territory battle, and you're no longer a Lord now! So, you're not within this restraint and protection!"

Wu Liang: "???"

Oh no! My power boosting turned into a bad thing!

Looks like I can't enjoy the Unprotected Minor Fierce Ghost Law anymore!
