His gentle voice echoed through the empty forest, yet it carried an overbearing tone: "Chun, so many years have passed, and your rude temper truly hasn't changed at all."
Beneath his feet, an invisible Domain with a radius of ten ters was operating.
That was the Law of the Transcendent that represented annihilation.
Wherever he passed, the primitive forest, which had been raging wildly and attempting to strangle all living things, seed to encounter its natural enemy; countless plants began to tremble and then retreated to both sides, clearing a wide path for him through the dense jungle.
Mr. Duan just walked like this, leaning on his cane, stepping on withered leaves, passing through layers of blockades.
A mont later, he stopped.
Ahead, at the end of the primitive forest, the entrance to an ancient ruin, built from countless massive black stones, stood quietly in a cracked valley.
However, at this mont, the entrance to the ruin had been completely sealed by countless ancient vines as thick as water vats, shimring with pale green Law runes. These ancient vines were interwoven to form an indestructible green wall, with green life energy circulating on the surface of the wall, emitting a heavy pressure.
Mr. Duan stood before the green wooden wall.
He reached out a hand, removed the black top hat from his head, pressed it against his chest, bowed towards the tightly closed green wooden wall, and perford an elegant gentleman's salute from the old era.
Subsequently, he put his hat back on and folded his hands over the handle of his silver cane.
He looked at the wooden wall shimring with the light of the Law and spoke calmly.
"Chun, an old friend has co from far away to find you; aren't you going to welco ?"
The wind in the valley stilled.
That green wooden wall, woven from countless ancient vines as thick as water vats and shimring with pale green Law runes, began to vibrate.
"Hum——!!"
The green life energy retreated to both sides, and the tightly closed ancient vine wall split open, revealing a rotating, white-light-emitting teleportation vortex behind it.
Mr. Duan stood before the vortex. He put his black top hat back on his head, took a step, and walked into the teleportation vortex at the entrance of the ruin.
His figure appeared inside the ruin.
This was a vibrant underground world. Gentle green halos floated in the sky, towering ancient trees surrounded the area, a massive life lake shimred, and the air was filled with dense energy of the Law of Life.
For this Holy Land of Cultivation that Professionals of the present world craved, Mr. Duan didn't even cast a glance. He stood on the grass at the edge of the lake, leaning on his silver cane, and spoke.
"Chun, co out and et , won't you?"
His voice rumbled in the empty underground world.
"You know, I am most unwilling to be your enemy; after all, we co from the sa world." Mr. Duan sighed, and in those deep eyes, a rare trace of gentle reminiscence appeared, "It was you who helped in the past; otherwise, I wouldn't have reached this level today."
Silence. Another long silence.
The previously calm life lake began to ripple, and countless green light dots of the Law rose from the lake water, condensing in mid-air.
A long ti later, a green-haired woman materialized in mid-air. She looked down at Mr. Duan from above, her eyes filled with hatred and desolation.
"But you deceived in the end."
Chun's voice ca: "You promised to be with . And the result? You still abandoned ."
"I have nothing to say to you." She pointed at Mr. Duan, her voice suddenly rising, sounding sharp and grating, "Everything was my delusion; we were never on the sa path!"
Facing Chun's questioning, Mr. Duan put away his usual Transcendent posture of looking down from above, viewing all living beings as ants.
He stood on the grass, lowered his head, used his right hand to remove the black top hat from his head, pressed it against his chest, and bowed to Chun in mid-air.
"I'm sorry, I admit that I failed you back then."
Mr. Duan straightened his back, his refined face filled with calmness and reason: "But I believe you also understand... at the mont the Heavenly Dao System descended for the Great Purge, if /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ we didn't make a choice, if we didn't cut off those superfluous ties, we would all have died under the strangulation of the rules. I had no other choice; only by living on alone, bearing the sin, could I leave the final spark for our era."
"Hahaha... no other choice?"
Chun's wild laughter ca from the air. Her stunningly beautiful face was twisted by extre anger, and her green eyes were filled with mockery.
"Duan, when did you beco so hypocritical?!"
Chun's body swayed in the Void Realm, and she pointed at Mr. Duan and shouted angrily: "You ca here today, isn't it just because you want to kill and drain the Origin Life Law within ?! Since you want my power, don't play these hypocritical tricks! It makes sick to listen to it!"
"I don't believe there is even a shred of human emotion left in you. From the mont you devoured the Blood Ancestor and drained Chaidan's Origin, you have been a complete monster!"
Being mocked like this, Mr. Duan's facial muscles didn't twitch at all, as if Chun wasn't scolding him at all.
He put his top hat back on, pressed his hands on the handle of his silver cane, and continued earnestly: "Believe , Chun. As long as I defeat the Heavenly Dao, reshape the underlying logic of this world, and beco the sole Dominator of this world..."
He raised his head, his eyes reflecting Chun's figure: "I will give you everything you want, and I can even use the Origin Law to reshape your Godhead, allowing you to truly stand under the sunlight of the New Era. Don't you want to go back?"
"Bullshit——!!"
Chun let out a beast-like roar, and tears of erald green even seeped from the corners of her eyes due to extre anger.
"I don't want anything! I only want you to die!!"
Boom——!!!
As Chun's last syllable fell, the entire Secret Realm of the ruins erupted completely!
"Hiss hiss——!!"
The originally gentle underground world turned into a bloodthirsty Shura field. The earth cracked, and countless giant ancient vines covered in black barbs and shimring with the dark green Law of Destruction burst out from the ground like violent giant pythons!
The surrounding towering ancient trees withered, and in one ten-thousandth of a second, they converted all the life energy they had accumulated for thousands of years into violent attack attributes. The leaves flying all over the sky turned into green wind blades capable of slicing through the Void Realm, covering the sky and blocking the sun, densely covering Mr. Duan below!
This long-planned strike had already exceeded the limit that an SSS-Class Professional of the present world could withstand. The Void Realm was trembling, and the water of the entire life lake was even evaporated by half by this terrifying pressure!
"Sigh..."
Facing this overwhelming, earth-shattering violent offensive, Mr. Duan stood in place and let out a helpless sigh.
He didn't even raise the silver cane in his hand.
Just at the second when those giant ancient vines and green wind blades shimring with the light of the Law were about to touch the hem of his clothes——
Mr. Duan raised his left hand, bent his finger, and flicked it in the air.
"Hum."
A high-dinsional ripple, silent yet causing heaven and earth to tremble, spread out.
A black Law halo with a radius of ten ters, centered on him, rippled outwards.
There was no earth-shattering explosion or tragic scene of flesh and blood flying.
Those ancient vines, as thick as water vats and containing the ultimate wood-type Origin, ca to an abrupt halt the mont they touched the black halo. Imdiately after, the green light was forcibly tainted by the black, and the thick vines began to blacken and weather on a large scale.
