Poisonous snakes continuously slithered out from the grass, and countless wild beasts rushed out in waves, frantically fleeing outward. Upon encountering the Law Sovereign and Ye Zui blocking their path, they began attacking wildly.
The heavenly demon qi was certainly a coveted treasure for the two, but for these poisonous snakes and beasts, it was lethal poison!
In just over three hundred miles into the dense forest, the two had already slain countless wild beasts that roared past them.
Finally, they were only a stone's throw away from the black mist!
Before them was a mass of thick black mist, swirling and moving; it was the most pure heavenly demon qi!
The heavenly demon qi was within reach, seemingly at their fingertips. Both of their breaths quickened.
As if sensing their arrival, the black mist suddenly emitted a sharp hissing sound, and in an instant, it retreated like rivers flowing back to the sea, vanishing without a trace like black snakes rushing back to their dens.
In the dark fog ahead, a vague silhouette began to appear.
A voice, tired and weak, said, "I didn't expect to find two people here... Where do you come from?"
The voice was weary, not just tired but extremely weak, giving off a subtle sense that he might perish at any moment. This person must be gravely injured! Both felt this simultaneously.
Yet, contrasting with this strong feeling of fragility was a powerful force, one that was almost irresistible! This strange combination of life-and-death energy still radiated a terrifying strength capable of swallowing the world and annihilating all of existence! There was also a lingering cruelty permeating the air!
Ye Zui hesitated, afraid to answer.
The Law Sovereign raised his head and solemnly asked, "Who are you? Where do you come from?"
After a moment of silence, the voice suddenly let out a low, strange laugh: "Not answering, but asking back? What an interesting little fellow... You have some guts. Since you are here, why not come in and let me see you."
With a sudden sound, the dense forest began to rapidly decay. In the blink of an eye, a clear path appeared out of nowhere before them.
All the flowers, grasses, and trees along that path vanished without a trace!
Mysterious decay evaporated without explanation.
A flat road, smoothed to perfection, formed abruptly.
Seeing this scene, both Ye Zui and the Law Sovereign gasped in awe. Such extraordinary cultivation was something even the Law Sovereign himself was incapable of; let alone in such an infinitely bizarre manner.
As they stepped onto this road, they felt their internal demonic energy surge wildly.
Black energy surged uncontrollably from their bodies.
While the Law Sovereign had already sensed it, Ye Zui was stunned into silence. Seeing the black energy emanating from the Law Sovereign, he felt a bizarre sense of the world being turned upside down.
Who was the Law Sovereign? He was the ruler of the Nine Heavens; the enforcer of law and order, the just leader who sought benefits for all on the Nine Heavens Continent!
Now, black qi, said to be the most evil in the world, was emanating from the Law Sovereign? Am I hallucinating, or did I missee something?
"Master Law Sovereign... You..." Ye Zui was speechless, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
The Law Sovereign snorted coldly, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes as he turned to look at Ye Zui.
A chilling murder intent suddenly erupted fiercely.
It was clear that the Law Sovereign intended to silence him; no matter what, he was not going to let Ye Zui live!
"Even if it means killing a demon, you dare to oppose me!"
"You dare to kill him, and I'll kill you!" The tired voice in the forest said nonchalantly: "Try moving again?"
The Law Sovereign's body froze. He felt the heavenly demon qi within him suddenly become uncontrollable; it seemed to be rushing back towards his heart meridian.
He truly didn't dare to move, as he could clearly sense that although the person before him was on the brink of death, the threat of being killed was no mere intimidation. There was a real capability to end him! Such cultivation could only be compared to that mysterious woman, Zixie Qing, from back in the day.
