Chapter 160: Ninety-Six Laws of Power, the Deepest Part of the Core Area
“These damned Desolate actually sealed the passage out of the Secret Realm!”
“What are we supposed to do? We can’t even contact the outside world now.”
“Of all the academy’s disciples, only we ten are left!”
“So many senior and junior brothers died at the hands of the Desolate. Damn it!”
Not far from your place of seclusion, a group of cultivators suddenly appeared. You listened silently to their conversation and gained some understanding of the current situation.
“Desolate are everywhere now. This place is barely safe.”
“Are we just supposed to sit here and wait for death?”
“I don’t know how, but the Desolate can actually suppress our cultivation. We have no power to fight them at all!”
“Senior Brother, I got through to the Princess!”
“What? Where is the Princess?”
“Right here in the Core Zone!”
“Wonderful! We’re saved!”
“Yes, I heard the Princess has a way to deal with the Desolate!”
“Let’s go, quickly!”
The group vanished. Your figure slowly walked out, watching their departing backs, and pondered for a moment.
You knew all of this was very likely the Princess’s scheme!
“These people going there is like walking into a tiger’s mouth!”
You observed three seconds of silence for them, then headed in the opposite direction.
As far as you were concerned, the priority right now was to continue comprehending the power of law and break through to the Return-to-Void realm!
“As long as I’m strong enough, no enemy is worth worrying about!”
Your gaze was firm. You quickly found a late-stage Return-to-Void Law Avatar and began fighting it.
“Clap, clap, clap. Fellow Daoist, what a strength you have!”
Just as your battle with the Law Avatar reached its hottest, a man suddenly appeared not far away, clapping for you.
You paid him no attention and continued fighting the Law Avatar.
“Right now, those Desolate are slaughtering everywhere. Why not join hands with me?”
Luo Yunshan said without taking offense, speaking to himself.
“The Desolate, as an alien race, are wantonly slaughtering the cultivators of our Heaven Mystery Continent.”
“Fellow Daoist, don’t you want to strike out and kill these bastards, to display the might of our Heaven Mystery?!”
You punched the late-stage Return-to-Void Law Power Avatar back, then finally glanced back at Luo Yunshan and said flatly, “No time!”
“You!” Luo Yunshan cried out in anger, then flicked his sleeve and left.
A day later, Luo Yunshan appeared again, only this time he had brought a Desolate with him.
“Fellow Daoist, this one is yours!”
Luo Yunshan lured the Desolate over, then turned to flee.
Beneath your feet, a formation suddenly materialized, directly encompassing both Luo Yunshan and the Desolate.
Your voice rang out within the formation. “You two, only one of you can come out alive. Begin!”
The entire grand formation sealed shut. Luo Yunshan and the Desolate were both inside. Soon, they were fighting.
You sat outside the formation, took out a handful of seeds from who-knows-where, and began cracking them open as you watched the life-and-death battle.
Three hours later, Luo Yunshan dragged his somewhat bedraggled body out of the formation, his gaze toward you filled with fury!
“This is only a warning. If there is a next time, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Your gaze was sharp, your tone cold.
If you hadn’t worried that killing Luo Yunshan would draw out those powerhouses again, you would have struck long ago!
In the last simulation, you had indirectly killed Luo Yunshan, which led to those terrifying existences targeting you. In the end, you died and your Dao vanished.
This time, you didn’t want to die just like that. So if you could avoid acting, you avoided acting.
Luo Yunshan shot you a hateful glare, then turned and left, dragging his exhausted body away. He soon disappeared.
A year later, you cultivated diligently and finally mastered the ninety-fourth law power!
Your Avatar Consummation cultivation stirred restlessly, but in the end you forcibly suppressed it.
I wonder, after suppressing my cultivation all this time, when the day of breakthrough finally comes, just how it will erupt!
Though you greatly longed to break through, you could feel that your limit did not end here. You could still become stronger!
During this year, the Desolate’s movements grew larger and larger, forcing you to continue deeper into the Core Zone.
In the Core Zone where you currently were, you could already see quite a few Return-to-Void consummation Law Power Avatars!
This place was not much safer than the outside. At most, one died a bit more痛快.
You also encountered several Return-to-Void Desolate, but you easily eliminated them all!
“The Secret Realm passage will open in less than ten years. It seems I need to speed up!”
You calculated the time and knew you did not have much time left here.
Three years later, having mastered ninety-six law powers, you arrived at the deepest part of the Core Zone!
Here, you saw quite a few cultivators who had entered the Secret Realm with you. Though they had all become Return-to-Void cultivators now, their appearances were rather bedraggled.
You could go no deeper. The path ahead was guarded by three incomparably powerful Law Avatars!
Even you, who could defeat Return-to-Void Avatars, now felt they were invincible!
This must be the Desolate’s ultimate goal!
You guessed inwardly, while your gaze moved to the most conspicuous woman here, Princess Anle!
Princess Anle, dressed in palace robes, seemed to sense your gaze. She raised her head, glanced at you, smiled faintly, and nodded.
“Boss, you’re finally here!”
Lan Shang walked out from the crowd and came up to you excitedly.
“Boss, those Desolate are just too eerie. I really can’t beat them!”
Lan Shang burst into tears.
“Brother Lan Shang, who is this?”
A woman in blue robes walked out, holding Lan Shang’s arm, looking at you with confusion.
“This is my boss!”
Lan Shang said smugly.
“Boss, this is a junior sister from the Deer-Chasing Academy. Heh heh.”
“You’re the boss that Brother Lan Shang keeps talking about? Why are you only at Spirit Transformation cultivation?”
Xiao Lücha sized you up and asked doubtfully.
“Smack!”
Lan Shang slapped her across the face, directly sending Xiao Lücha flying with blood spurting from her mouth. He shouted, “You dare question my boss? I think you’re tired of living!”
“You!”
“Get lost!”
Lan Shang cursed, then hurriedly apologized to you.
“Boss, I’m sorry!”
The huge commotion instantly drew everyone’s attention. Many gazes appeared, sizing you up.
A nameless power emanated from your body, isolating those prying gazes outside.
