He spent five days endlessly dissecting this Tide Spirit using various methods.

Just now, he finally discovered the essence that maintains the existence of this Tide Spirit.

It was a form of power fundamentally stronger than the Law, akin to the difference between Elemental Power and the Power of Laws, so vast they cannot be compared. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

According to Lor’s speculation, that thing seems to be composed of several, even dozens of Laws combined, appearing to have almost infinite vitality, making the Tide Spirit exhibit such heaven-defying vitality.

Possessing such means must be attributed to the Ninth-tier existence of the Silkworm Dream Civilization.

If the Ninth-tier existence behind this Tide Spirit merely created an indestructible Tier Six, it wouldn’t even surprise him.

But the entire Vortex Plane Sea possesses more than just this one Tier Six Tide Spirit; there are countless Tier Four, Tier Five, Tier Six, and even quite a few Tier Seven and Tier Eight.

Know that a Tier Eight being paired with a Law Treasure is an Overlord, belonging to the first tier below Ninth-tier existence, yet a Ninth-tier existence can casually create a bunch of Tier Eights.

The disparity is so significant that he could figure it out with his toes.

"@#%&**——"

Looking at the Tier Six Tide Spirit still chattering wildly, Lor took a deep breath, threw it away, and activated Space Jumping Witchcraft to leave.

Its indestructibility originates from the Ninth-tier existence behind it, making it impossible to replicate on himself, rendering it worthless to him.

The only significance is to let him understand from another perspective what level of power the Ninth-tier truly represents.

Continuing to tangle with it is futile; finding Tier Seven Law Treasures and recording the locations of Tier Eight Law Treasures is more important.

"According to the civilization’s information exchange list, an unclaimed Law Treasure emits strange fluctuations upon emergence."

Lor, while performing Space Jumps in the Vortex Plane Sea, recalled the basic knowledge about the Vortex Plane Sea: "This strange fluctuation covers a vast range; Tier Seven Treasures radiate over a thousand space node distances, and Tier Eight Treasures over ten thousand space node distances."

"The strange fluctuation only disappears when a creature retrieves it."

"The longer the Tide Spirit guards, the weaker this strange fluctuation becomes."

"When a Law Treasure just emerges, whether Tier Seven or Tier Eight, there aren’t actually any Tide Spirits guarding it nearby."

"If someone happens to encounter it, they can seize it without obstruction; this is one of the methods for Tier Seven beings to obtain Tier Eight Treasures, and it’s also the easiest way."

"Additionally, one can wait for the strange fluctuation to disappear and then fish in troubled waters during the chaos stage among the Tide Spirits, relying on sheer strength to snatch the Law Treasure."

For him, encountering a Tier Seven Law Treasure means disregarding the Tide Spirits guarding outside it; he would simply use Space Jumping Witchcraft to rush in and snatch it.

After all, their combined space confinement limit is only two hundred points, hardly a threat.

However, Tier Seven Law Treasures are ultimately a small gain, only worth one to ten Law Values each.

To truly make a big profit, he needs to find Tier Eight Treasures and note when the strange fluctuation disappears.

Then, when the Tide Spirits no longer maintain the joint Defense Barrier and enter the chaos stage, he can seize the Tier Eight Law Treasures.

Lor repeatedly employed Space Jumping Witchcraft, and each time he emerged from a spatial rift, he would pause slightly to sense the so-called strange fluctuations.

In just half an hour, he already detected an inexplicable Law fluctuation.

He extracted two pieces of information from this fluctuation: one was the location of the fluctuation’s source, and the other was the tier and type of the source’s Law Treasure.

"Two thousand three hundred space nodes westward, Tier Eight Wind Law Treasure." Upon acquiring the information, Lor decisively changed direction and performed Space Jumping Witchcraft westward.

Unless it was a freshly emerged Tier Eight Law Treasure, there were at least nearly a hundred Tier Seven Tide Spirits surrounding the outside.

It was certainly not the time to snatch it now; he could only go over to note the precise coordinates and conveniently leave a Spatial Mark before probing the fluctuation decrease speed at the edge of the strange fluctuation.

When the strange fluctuation completely disappears, that will be the time to seize the Tier Eight Law Treasure.

...

Southeast of the Vortex Plane Sea.

Above a gigantic vortex, a hundred and eighty-six Tier Seven Tide Spirits collaborated to maintain a Defense Water Curtain covering thirty million miles, continuously directing Water Element light beams at a green ray at their center.

As these beams struck, a blue Barrier, visible only to them, began to gradually dim at an extremely slow pace.

"In at most two hundred more years, the Defense Barrier will be worn away completely," a Tier Seven Tide Spirit near the perimeter stated excitedly.

"Yes, although this Treasure is not of king-level and we can’t control it, it’s certainly feasible to trade it with the emperor-level great existences above for a king-level Water Treasure."

"Don’t get too excited yet; if an outsider snatches the Treasure at the end, it’ll be quite amusing."

"With so many Spirits here, would they dare to come?"

"In any case, stay vigilant; we have been snatched from before."

"This Treasure certainly belongs to me; don’t even think about it, any of you."

"Heh, you may be the strongest among us, but only slightly stronger. Do you really think you’re invincible?"

"Exactly, someone who doesn’t know might think you possess a Treasure."

"Hmph, you just wait and see."

A group of Tier Seven Tide Spirits, while wearing down the Defense Barrier, engaged in mutual sarcasm, clearly not on amiable terms.
