CHAPTER 968: CHAPTER 556: THE EERIE DEMON GOD

The law outside the Winged Demon Ancestral Court was created by Salion to resist the invasion of Outer Gods.

This Law Barrier is like a defensive fortress, with a defense level at the Law Level.

Salion took a long time to create this "Law Fortress," so naturally, destroying it won’t be easy.

Lu Heng, using the Power of Godslayer, can break through this Law Barrier, but it requires breaking layer by layer, consuming a lot of effort and time.

If there’s no way to crack the Law Barrier, this is an effective, albeit clumsy, method.

However, it’s too time-consuming this way.

Besides, Lu Heng had tried before; the Law Layer outside the Winged Demon Ancestral Court has a repair function, so using this clumsy way, it won’t be completed in a few months.

If you don’t want to waste time, you could actually abandon the Winged Demon Ancestral Court.

If the goal is just to annihilate the Winged Demon Clan, simply clearing out the Winged Demons from this world could achieve the goal.

As for those few High Rank Winged Demons hiding in the Ancestral Court, it’s impossible to develop another Winged Demon Clan.

However, giving up attacking the Winged Demon Ancestral Court now is not cost-effective.

Just think a little, and you’ll know.

A Demon God must have vast resources, and the number of Divine Artifacts and Holy Artifacts he possesses won’t be small.

These Treasures are certainly stored in this Winged Demon Ancestral Court.

In other words, the most valuable place in the entire Winged Demon World is this Ancestral Court in front of us.

Lu Heng understood the explanation of the Three-headed Snake Demon God and asked, "Since you pointed out the Law Barrier outside the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, you must have a way to crack it, right?"

"Azik" was silent for a moment before replying in that distant voice: "Yes, but not entirely."

This statement provided no useful information, and Lu Heng waited for him to continue.

"Law structures like this Ancestral Court are indeed very difficult to break; even if a True God descends, it’s hard to break it in a short time..."

The distant voice paused for a moment, then continued: "However, because this Law Layer is too strong, like a solid gate, most Demon Gods will leave a key for this gate just in case.

"That’s why I say ’not entirely;’ this ’key’ probably exists, but it’s not absolute.

"Even if it exists, where this ’key’ is cannot be guaranteed.

"So, if you want to break the Law Barrier of the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, you need to find this ’key.’

Lu Heng furrowed his brows and asked, "If a key exists, shouldn’t Salion keep it on him?"

The Three-headed Snake Demon God replied through Azik: "Salion doesn’t need a key; he himself is the key. The key is prepared for special situations.

"For instance, if one day he encounters a strong enemy in Outer Space and loses all Divine Power.

"When he loses his Divine Power and his Divine Status falls, he will lose control of the Ancestral Court’s Law, preventing him from returning to the Ancestral Court.

"At that time, he would need that key.

"Unless he doesn’t consider such extreme situations and hasn’t prepared a key. If he has prepared one, he would definitely place it somewhere he can access.

"So, if you want to open the Law Barrier of the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, you need to find this key."

Lu Heng fell into thought, slowly shaking his head, and said, "It’s not going to be easy to find the place where a Demon God hides a key, is it?"

The Three-headed Snake Demon God: "That’s for sure; you can only find a way on your own. The place where the key is hidden must be inaccessible to ordinary Winged Demons, yet it must not require Divine Power to access it."

...

After listening, Lu Heng thought for a moment, and after communicating with the Xavier Matrix, instructed the Nanorobots to start searching the Planet for places where the Law Key might be hidden.

The Xavier Matrix controlled the Nanomechanical Factory to manufacture over a thousand small reconnaissance drones to begin scanning the entire Planet.

Searching for a "Law Key" on a Planet is as difficult as searching for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the nature of this "Law Key" is unknown, its shape unknown, its material unknown, its size unknown—everything is unknown.

Although it’s called a "key," it might not be in the shape of an ordinary key; it could be anything.

The high-rank Demons capable of resistance on the Winged Demon Planet have all been cleared out.

What’s left is a carpet-style sweep, cleaning out the Demons on the Planet.

This process isn’t dangerous anymore, as long as you guard the Winged Demon Ancestral Court to prevent the high-rank Winged Demons inside from coming out.

Next is searching for the Law Key.

Lu Heng sat in the bridge of the Star Realm Battleship, looking at the data transmitted back from various reconnaissance drones and detectors, hoping to find key information within these detection data.

Orelana, having already heard the Three-headed Snake Demon God’s hint, walked into the bridge, stood behind Lu Heng, and asked, "Any progress?"

Lu Heng shook his head and shrugged, responding, "Not yet. We don’t even know what the Law Key is."

Orelana replied in a relaxed tone, "Don’t rush, take your time; we have plenty of time."

In the current situation, there is indeed no need to be too hasty.

The problem is that searching aimlessly like this leaves the outcome uncertain.

If searching for several years yields no results, that would be a huge waste of time.

If such a situation really occurs, the Nanorobots can only be left here to autonomously search.

When there’s a result, we can come to collect it.

...

Lu Heng withdrew his attention from the complex detection data, remembered something, and got up to find the leader of the Star Realm Merchants, Lismavi.
