Yue Lingxue and Feng Yuru were shocked and tried their best to stop the chaos, but despite the combined strength of Fengyue, they could only manage to intercept four individuals. Even those four, instead of attempting to commit suicide, chose to sever their heart meridians and ultimately embarked on the Path to the Yellow Springs.
Such determination!
As they stared at the numerous corpses sprawled before them, Yue Lingxue and Feng Yuru felt a chill run down their spines.
Just as they had reached the outskirts of Central Capital, this cataclysm had erupted in full force. Initially, they had not anticipated the severity of the situation, but as the chaos escalated, they flew out to investigate, only to realize that the entire world had changed overnight.
They barely had time to enter Central Capital before they began intercepting the chaos from all directions. Yet, even with their extraordinary abilities and cultivation levels, they were powerless to stop this massive-scale eruption of chaos brought about by the super-sized beast system.
They watched helplessly as blood flowed beneath their feet and many vibrant lives were extinguished in an instant. Yue Lingxue cried out to the heavens in desperation: “Law Sovereign, you wretched being, what do you intend to do? Come out! Face me in battle!”
“Law Sovereign, even if you have your reasons! Even if you have grievances! Even if you harbor hatred! But what has this world done to deserve this? What have the common people done to deserve this? Why must you be so insane? You despicable thing, come out and face me!”
Yue Lingxue’s voice of sorrow and anger echoed far and wide.
With a single roar, the sound reverberated for a thousand miles; the clouds above seemed to tremble with his sorrowful shout, and rain began to fall.
After a long time, Feng Yuru gently consoled, “We should move into Central Capital… The disaster has already taken shape, and with just the two of us, we can do nothing. We must gather everyone to discuss a plan…”
Yue Lingxue sighed helplessly towards the sky, the icy rain falling into his mouth only deepening his sense of bitterness and impotence.
The two of them buried the bodies of the enforcers in the rain and then let out a long howl as they rushed towards Central Capital.
After their departure, a long sigh was heard from within the dense forest.
Beneath a large tree stood the Law Sovereign, cloaked in black.
Rain poured down, drenching him as he stood still, not even making an effort to evade the rain, leaving him in a rather disheveled state.
In the midst of this gloomy atmosphere, he slowly lifted his foot and began to walk forward step by step.
Facing the unmarked new graves below, the Law Sovereign’s expression was exceedingly complex.
He stood silently, not uttering a word. Rain fell violently upon him, and he remained motionless.
At that moment, a magnificent sword light suddenly appeared from afar.
Gu Duxing’s cold voice rang out, “Who goes there?”
Before he finished speaking, he had already approached.
“So it’s you! I finally found you!” With the black dragon sword gleaming, Gu Duxing sternly commanded, “Law Sovereign! Revoke your absurd order!”
The Law Sovereign’s black robe fluttered as he cast a complex glance at Gu Duxing before drifting backward.
In that fleeting glance, there was a mix of helplessness, envy, and an icy calmness.
Gu Duxing roared furiously, the black dragon sword flashing fiercely. In that moment, the brilliance of the sword light overshadowed the lightning above, charging towards the Law Sovereign.
The raindrops were stirred by his momentum, transforming into sharp blades that attacked along with him.
Amidst the sword light, the Law Sovereign’s face flickered with indifference. Gu Duxing clearly saw the Law Sovereign’s eyes filled with a smile and approval as he gave him a look before disappearing in an instant as if he had shrunk in space, zipping away from under Gu Duxing’s sword.
Though the sword light continued to flicker, the Law Sovereign had already retreated a hundred feet in a blink of an eye.
