Up in the skies, the youth strolled leisurely down from above.
With just one word, âfreezeâ, all of heaven and earth froze in place. Falling leaves stopped their descent and the windblown river ceased to ripple.
So long as it was within this stretch of land, nothing could escape that single word: âfreeze.â
These were the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Nothing could defy them.
However, besides the youth, there was still one person left who was capable of movement: Lin Ru.
âWhy are you the one who came? Tch tch, why are you always so sloppy?â
As a Master of the Laws, she could clearly sense the change in the Laws. She discovered the youth the instant he arrived.
However, when she looked at him, there was no dread in her face whatsoever. She even scorned his fashion choices as if they were familiar to her.
âMm. Someone else was going to come at first, but I stopped them,â the youth nodded calmly. It was clear from his demeanor that he was the reserved, taciturn sort.
The youth brushed past Lin Ru and approached the middle-aged man.
Claws still jutted from the middle-aged manâs fingers. He was stuck, trapped in the movement heâd used to attack Lin Ru.
Gulp.
Right now, he really wanted to gulp, but the Laws didnât allow him to do even that.
The white-haired youth cocked his head to the side and pointed directly at the middle-aged man. âHe tried to kill you?â
âNo, I didnâtâŠ..â
Over and over again, the man cried out inwardly, but he couldnât make a single sound.
âThatâs right. This guy really doesnât want to live anymore! He wanted to kill me! Erbai, hurry up and get revenge for me,â Lin Ru put her hands on her hips and said angrily. Really, sheâd just come this close to being scratched to death. Fortunately, this little brother of hers had arrived just in time.
âThe Laws cannot be provoked. Didnât you tell him that?â asked the youth.
âHow could I not? I was utterly frantic just now; anything I could say, I said. But this guy spouted some nonsense about how ârules are made to be brokenâ and âkilling you will help me breakthrough.â Ugh, donât you think heâs infuriating? He even said our Laws were nothing but dog farts and that heâs the true Law here. Damn, Iâm so pissed off!â Lin Ru was embellishing the truth, adding nonsense to her story without blinking or beating around the bush.
When the man heard this, he inwardly called out, âIâve been wronged.â However, he was still frozen; he couldnât even fart.
The white-haired youth clearly understood Lin Ru well; he only half-believed her words. However, anyone who provoked the rules had to be punished.
âI ought to kill the one who defied the rules,â said the youth. Even as he said this, his voice was flat and emotionless. He laid his hand on the middle-aged manâs arm and gently tapped it.
They watched as a line formed on the manâs arm, right where the youth touched it.
âA peak-level diviner dared come here and act wantonly? Hmph, you're outside my jurisdiction so Iâll just teach you a bit of a lesson. Go back where you came from!â
With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged disappeared completely. However, he left his arm behind.
âLittle bro, youâre too indecisive. Just kill him and be done with it!â Lin Ru rolled her eyes at him irritably. Although heâd already ruined one of the manâs arms, she was still unsatisfied.
âThereâs no other way. Heâs outside of my jurisdiction. Even if he tried to kill you, youâre still standing here now. Even if he really had killed you, that wouldnât justify encroaching on our coworkersâ territory. As Masters of the Laws, we have to control ourselves.â The youthâs reply was calm and even-keeled. Lin Ru simply pouted her lips in response, still not taking him seriously.
âEnough. Come back with me.â
âGoing back with you is, of course, no problem. However, thereâs still some business Iâve yet to take care of.â Lin Ru already knew why the youth was here, and had from the moment heâd first arrived. However, he was better than the others; they knew each other relatively well so they could at least talk things over.
âIt doesnât matter whether your affairs are in order or not. You still have to come back with me,â said the white-haired youth.
âCome on, give me a little face!â Lin Ru sulked and pleaded. âHelp me out!â
The youthâs brows knit into a rare frown, followed by a nod.
âFine then.â
âHey, youâre great!â She gave the youth a thumbs up, then dashed towards Black Dragon and Gu Li.
The Laws currently repressed them too. They couldnât move a single muscle.
âCan you help me dispose of the two of them?â
Black Dragon and Gu Liâs hearts instantly clenched.
I canât.â The youth shook his head at Lin Ru. âDonât make a fuss. This is why I came here looking for you, yet now you want to drag me under too? We Masters of the Law canât intervene in trivial mortal affairs. You broke the rules. I canât break them with you.â
âHey, youâŠ.â
âCome back with me,â said the white-haired youth.
âFine. You wonât help me? Then Iâll just do it myself. I wonât drag you under, either. Iâll do it myself,â Lin Ru snorted in displeasure but before she could attack, she realized she could no longer move.
âWhat are you doing? Erbai, how dare you seal me?â
âI canât let you make any more mistakes,â said the youth coolly. âYouâve already broken far too many rules, you canât break more of them. Besides, Iâm right here in front of you. If I just watched as you attacked them, Iâd have to take responsibility for it too.â
âHey!â
âCome back with me.â The youth dragged her away, leaving no room for argument.
At that moment, Lin Ru frowned and called out,âThat guyâs strength surpasses the peak of the immortal king level!â
The youth dragging her away suddenly stopped, then walked up to Black Dragon. As he watched the youth approach, Black Dragonâs heart felt as if it were about to explode.
Then he watched as the youth reached out, tapped his forehead, and looked away, âI canât believe I let you trick me again,â said the youth expressionlessly. âTo prevent you from spouting any more nonsense, Iâd best seal your mouth too.â
âMmmâŠ..unghâŠ.!â Lin Ru wanted to object but found that no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't open her mouth.
She had no choice. She could only glower at him, her gaze warning the youth that Black Dragonâs strength really did surpass the peak immortal king level.
âThereâs no use glaring at me. Just obediently follow me back.â
With that, the pair of them disappeared through the spatial rift and out of sight. As soon as the youth disappeared, the Laws of Heaven and Earth returned to normal.
The middle-aged manâs arm, which had been hovering in the air, fell to the ground. Black Dragon clutched his chest and breathed raggedly.
Just a little more...
And he would have died!
After a brief pause to catch his breath, Black Dragon started to laugh uproariously.
The Sacred Beast clan heads watched solemnly as Black Dragon removed his armor.
Rumble.
He unleashed his full spiritual power!
Boundless purple light billowed out of him. His awe-inspiring might bore down on everyone present, Gu Li included. They felt as if their throats were blocked.
Now that the Three Realms had lost its Laws, no one could stop Black Dragon!
He was now a sky supreme!
