Chapter 1612: Chapter 677: Successfully Comprehending – Part 2

Wang Tao can now absorb the Fire Element into his body, and also manipulate the Fire Element within himself, but he cannot control the Fire Element outside of his body.

Because the Fire Element he absorbed into his body has already been assimilated, Wang Tao can freely manipulate it. However, the external Fire Element is still unfamiliar to him, and he cannot control it.

Unless he also absorbs the external Fire Element into his body, but Wang Tao’s body is already full of Fire Element, and he can’t absorb any more.

Moreover, even if he could continue absorbing external Fire Element, once this Fire Element is absorbed into his body and assimilated, it becomes part of his internal Fire Element, and not the external Fire Element. This means he can’t comprehend the Law Domain. Wang Tao now understands the fundamental difference between Seventh Level abilities, Awakening, and higher-level Law Domains—

Simply put, abilities and Awakening rely on leveraging one’s own strength, while the Law Domain borrows the strength of the world!

No matter how strong one’s own strength is, there’s always a limit. For example, the upper limit of an ability is Mana, with a maximum of 1,000,000; the upper limit of Awakening is Awakening Energy, which caps at 10,000.

When Mana and Awakening Energy are completely depleted, abilities and Awakening can no longer be used. Even for passive abilities and Awakening that seem not to consume energy, their effectiveness diminishes as Mana and Awakening Energy decrease.

No matter how strong Wang Tao is or how capable, he cannot break the upper limits of 1,000,000 Mana and 10,000 Awakening Energy. Therefore, when he wanted to enhance his strength before, he could only rely on equipment and all kinds of strange items, as his own strength had already reached its peak.

But the Law Domain is different—it allows manipulation of various elements! These elements are not within the body but exist in the heavens and earth.

The elements in the heavens and earth are endless, so there’s no need to worry about hitting a cap; as long as one has the ability, they can keep manipulating!

Take the Destruction-level Magma Monsters, for instance. Their terrifying, expansive domains follow them wherever they go… Or that Seventh-Rank Fire Beast, which can continuously use the Law Domain [Fire]. There’s no cooldown, no need for rest…

But the prerequisite for achieving such effects is the ability to control elements outside the body. When you can command those infinite elements to heed your call and fight for you, then you have become the Laws!

If you still can only control the elements inside your body, then there’s no fundamental difference from abilities or Awakening.

Wang Tao is currently unable to control external elements, which means he cannot comprehend the Law Domain…

“How do I control these elements? I have absolutely no clue…”

Wang Tao felt a headache coming on. He tried many times, and occasionally he managed to control a few Fire Elements, but what use are just a few?

It felt like trying to solve math problems—he recognized the words, understood the symbols, but when putting them together, it was as if his mind went completely blank… Wasn’t this just making things difficult for him?

Though he felt distressed, Wang Tao didn’t give up. He had reached the final step; seeing that he was so close to comprehending his Law Domain, how could he possibly give up!

Wang Tao had stopped thinking about comprehending the most powerful Law Domain. He now just wanted to comprehend a Law Domain—strength didn’t matter, as long as it was a domain!

Thus, as Wang Tao incessantly tried, time flew by rapidly.

In this place, there was no concept of time or progression. Wang Tao didn’t know how long had passed, but he finally managed to control the nearby Fire Elements!

These Fire Elements obeyed him like disciplined soldiers, capable of forming various configurations under his command: one moment turning into Fire Blades, another into Fire Walls, Fire Shields, or even Fire Seas. It was as smooth and effortless as moving his own limbs! Wang Tao was having the time of his life.

Most importantly, this came at no cost to him. He could manipulate the Fire Elements as he pleased!

This filled Wang Tao with excitement, and he faintly sensed that he could now return. As long as he wished to return, he would leave this place, and his Law Domain would officially appear.

But Wang Tao still had one problem…

“Why is my range of control over the Fire Elements so small?”

Forget the kind of vast range Destruction-level Monsters have, capable of controlling Fire Elements within tens of thousands of meters. Just consider the Law Domain range of the Seventh-Rank Fire Beast, which spans over a thousand meters!

Currently, Wang Tao can control the range of Fire Elements… barely a hundred meters at most. The discrepancy is just too vast!

Using the thousand-meter radius of the Seventh-Rank Fire Beast’s Law Domain as a benchmark, Wang Tao’s hundred-meter radius pales not by a factor of ten, but by a hundred! If spatial volume is calculated, the disparity would be even greater!

Though Wang Tao had earlier thought he wasn’t setting the bar too high, simply wanting to acquire any Law Domain at all, he wasn’t expecting to end up with one that only covers one-hundredth the range of a Seventh Order Lord. Among those at the Seventh Level, wouldn’t he end up at the bottom of the pack?

This made the typically competitive Wang Tao feel quite frustrated. Sure, he had grown stronger, but he also felt weaker…

“No, I can’t leave it at that!”

Wang Tao decided he needed to continue experimenting.

Since the timing of his departure was under his control, as long as he wasn’t forced to leave, he could keep trying to manipulate more Fire Elements!

He refused to believe he couldn’t keep improving. His goal wasn’t even too ambitious—he just wanted control over Fire Elements within a five-hundred-meter radius. Though it wouldn’t match the Seventh Order Lord, it wouldn’t be considered too weak either.
