Chapter 658: Chapter 594: Breaking the Cocoon (Part 2)

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

The Beixuan Kingdom had lost all its defensive lines at Dragon Fall Slope and retreated to Maple City, relying on its fortifications to hold back the Dark Legion from the Underworld.

If not for the bright light bulb still hanging in the sky, the morale of the Beixuan Kingdom’s army would have been crushed long ago.

They had once witnessed Li Wei single-handedly force the Dark Races of the Underworld into a full retreat. Because of this, everyone still alive believed that as long as Li Wei lived, as long as he could break free, he could defeat the enemy.

This was their only remaining faith and hope.

Reina found Gu Sewei and asked, "Didn’t Li Wei leave you any hints? Can we help him break free?"

Gu Sewei looked at Reina, her Armor covered in scars, and shook her head. "No."

She said helplessly, "That’s not a battle we can interfere in."

Reina’s eyes narrowed as she asked, "Why?"

Gu Sewei told Reina about the opponent Li Wei was facing.

"Li Wei’s opponent is a Divine Spirit from the Underworld—the Spider Goddess Rose."

Hearing this, Reina gazed at the large, bright light bulb in the distance and remained silent for a long time.

She had never expected Li Wei’s opponent to be so powerful.

This was far beyond the scope of her abilities.

If Li Wei’s opponent were a Demigod, she could have even requested support from the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince had Demigod Level masters who could have come to Li Wei’s aid.

However, the enemy Li Wei faced was a genuine Divine Spirit.

That was not something she could interfere in.

Never mind her; even her backer, the Ninth Prince, might not be able to interfere.

A Divine Spirit. The very name was synonymous with supreme power.

Reina never imagined that one day she would find herself an enemy of a Divine Spirit.

If Gu Sewei had told her on the first day of the war that their enemy was a Divine Spirit, she probably would have abandoned all hope and fled long ago.

The war had already lasted for two months.

Now, with Gu Sewei telling her the enemy was a Divine Spirit, Reina still felt victory was a slim hope, but it wasn’t gone completely.

At least, she had witnessed someone hold out against a Divine Spirit for two months.

Besides, they weren’t facing the Divine Spirit directly—only the races under its command.

’What’s there to despair about?’

Reina said, "Without reinforcements, Maple City’s defensive supplies are enough to last another month."

With that, she turned and left.

Gu Sewei gazed at the light bulb hanging in the sky outside and tightened her grip on the Frost Staff in her hand.

’Li Wei, how much longer will you be...’

She had always believed in Li Wei, believed that he could defeat Rose.

Li Wei had been trapped inside the cocoon for two months.

He had already spent more than ten years in the Dream World.

[Basic Level Power Law (Incomplete)] 9623/10000

’Almost there. I’ll be out soon.’

’Weiwei, you all have to hold on!’

Ten years, day in and day out.

In the ten years that passed in the Dream World, he did only one thing.

Comprehend the Basic Level Power Law.

Now, he was about to succeed.

He was about to grasp the complete Basic Level Power Law.

Li Wei was terrified.

Afraid that when he got out, he would see Maple City already reduced to a pile of rubble.

Afraid he wouldn’t see Gu Sewei.

Even more afraid of seeing the corpses of his loved ones.

However, he had no time to be afraid.

Fear would only waste time.

Wasting time was wasting hope, wasting life.

Li Wei had never felt such urgency and anxiety.

But he could only force himself to calm down; only by remaining calm could he perceive the world’s inspiration and comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

He could always feel that the Divine Power protecting Gu Sewei had not yet dissipated.

Only then could Li Wei feel at ease and calmly comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

At least, Gu Sewei was still alive.

Waiting for him to bring them victory.

An unknown amount of time passed again.

Li Wei was still comprehending the Basic Level Power Law.

In that instant, he suddenly understood.

’This is the Basic Level Power Law!’

[Basic Level Power Law] 0/10000

The Power Law represented the very essence of all forms of power in the world.

It didn’t just refer to physical strength.

The shockwave produced by an explosion is a form of power.

Even the explosion itself is a form of power.

By combining the Basic Level Power Law with his own abilities, Li Wei comprehended a Power Law unique to himself.

He obtained a portion of the Authority of Law that was uniquely his.

This was only a small part of the authority contained within the complete Power Law.

But for the current Li Wei, it was enough.

The long-shining, bright light bulb suddenly dimmed.

Everyone was drawn to the change before their eyes, and they all looked up at the sky.

The huge light bulb hanging in the sky went out.

Night once again enveloped the land.

The Dark Races let out earth-shaking cheers. The big light bulb was finally gone, and the power that had been suppressing them was finally no more.

They couldn’t wait to unleash the power that was returning to their bodies.

Without needing a commander’s order, all the Dark Race soldiers charged toward Maple City.

This was an all-out attack!

The guards on the city walls were all stunned.

Hearing the earth-shaking cheers from below the walls, everyone’s faces filled with despair.

’After holding on for so long, have we still lost?’

Gu Sewei clutched her chest, gazing at the pitch-black sky and murmuring, "Li Wei..."

Reina strode over, her steps hurried.

She said quickly, "Gu Sewei, use a Forbidden Curse to cover our rear. There’s no hope left. We need to buy time to evacuate Maple City."

Seeing that Li Wei had lost, Reina was also deeply saddened.

But time did not permit her to grieve.

She had to make a decision.

The disappearance of the light meant that Li Wei had been defeated.

This caused the morale of all Maple City’s defenders to plummet to rock bottom.

Reina knew that even though Maple City’s forces could still hold off the Dark Races for a while, with morale at rock bottom, defeat was only a matter of time.

She had to take this chance, while there was still one, to retreat Maple City’s remaining forces.

Gu Sewei tightened her grip on her Frost Staff. Just as she was about to speak, she felt that the Power of Guardian surrounding her had not dissipated.

Her eyes widened in shock, and a light shone within them.

Gu Sewei said firmly to Reina, "Li Wei hasn’t lost yet!"

Reina said, "But the light is out. Even if he hasn’t lost, the light going out means he’s reached his limit."

"It’s still impossible for a human to fight a Divine Spirit. He’s already held on for over two months. He’s already broken a world record!"

"We have to face reality..."

The words had barely left her mouth.

when a blaze of fire suddenly appeared in the sky.

Gu Sewei and Reina instinctively looked up.

They saw the giant cocoon that had trapped Li Wei was burning.

Engulfed in flames.

It wasn’t just them; everyone saw it.

This was a burning.

And it would be the last.

The cocoon Rose had woven from her Law Spider Web was ignited by the flames.

Before this, Gu Sewei and Reina had tried everything they could think of, but were unable to inflict even a single scratch on the cocoon.

Gu Sewei’s face lit up with hope. She said excitedly, "He’s back! He’s back!"

Reina had a look of disbelief, asking in shock, "Could he have won?"

Although the guards on the wall didn’t know what was happening, the change in the cocoon made them realize that perhaps things weren’t so bad after all.

"Alright!"

"Drive these bastards out!"

"Kill them!"

"Don’t give up! The war isn’t over yet!"

The guards on the wall came to their senses one after another. Those who recovered first shouted to their comrades, rousing everyone’s morale.

Seeing this, Reina also hurried back to her command post to deploy her War Knight’s aura to bolster the guards.

She commanded the guards to resist the Dark Races’ attack.

CRACKLE!

The flames burned away at the spider web formed from Law.

Li Wei saw Rose opposite him, a look of astonishment on her face.

Rose had never imagined that Li Wei would suddenly comprehend a Law.

To Rose, Li Wei comprehending a Law was indeed sudden.

Two months was too short a time.

But for Li Wei, it wasn’t just two months; it was more than ten years.

This was his own unique Power Law.

The Power of flame!

The moment Li Wei grasped the Basic Level Power Law, the battle between him and Rose was already decided.

When both sides have mastered a Law, the competition comes down to their degree of mastery over the Law and the strength of their Divine Power.

Li Wei had completely mastered the Basic Level Power Law.

His Divine Power was nearly endless and inexhaustible.
