Chapter 1541: "Eternal" Among the Clouds

"Eternal" Among the Clouds

"Shi Rui," the Lord of Wuji spoke indifferently.

The armor-clad man replied:

"Here."

"What's with the injuries on his body?"

Hearing this, Shi Rui's figure trembled slightly, seemingly not expecting the Lord of Wuji to be able to identify Mo Yao's injuries at a glance from so far away... For a moment, he was somewhat flustered.

"It's... he fell on his own!"

The Lord of Wuji walked down the ridge of the field step by step. His ink-like black robe fluttered silently over the obsidian floor. His pace was very slow, yet he seemed like Mount Tai pressing down horizontally. The aura he exuded with every movement and gesture was almost suffocating.

The Lord of Wuji stopped in front of Mo Yao.

He asked calmly.

Mo Yao remained silent.

Cold sweat began to break out on Shi Rui's forehead. He immediately changed his statement and answered truthfully:

"It was... it was me who hit him... I tried to persuade him with kind words for so many days to help us send a few letters, but not only did he not cooperate, he even insulted us... Lord of Wuji, My Lord, I really couldn't hold back my anger! We've hosted him so well in the Eternal Domain, yet he doesn't know any gratitude at all..."

Crack——!!!

Before Shi Rui could finish his sentence, that majestic and hard metal helmet twisted out of thin air like dough, directly crushing his head forcefully!

Splattering fresh blood and brain matter scattered all over the ground, and some also splashed onto Mo Yao's clean long gown. Mo Yao froze slightly. He hadn't expected the Lord of Wuji to be so decisive, even blowing his subordinate's head off directly without waiting for him to finish speaking...

The Lord of Wuji raised his hand and gently patted Mo Yao's long gown. Those foul-smelling bloodstains instantly turned into drops of crystal-clear dew, rolling silently onto the ground.

Mo Yao's body became as clean as before once again.

"I am truly sorry, Mr. Mo," the Lord of Wuji spoke calmly. "I've made you suffer grievances."

"I'm fine... It's just that he is your subordinate after all. Is it really good to kill him so roughly like this?"

"Nothing can be accomplished without rules and standards. In the Eternal Domain, especially as my subordinate... one must set an example even more." The Lord of Wuji paused for a moment. "The current Red King of your Dusk Society once questioned me on how to guarantee that I would always keep my original intentions unchanged in the long years to come... I think I will give him a satisfactory answer."

Mo Yao fell silent.

"So, you brought me over to..."

"According to the time agreed upon in that letter, tonight, he will set foot in the Eternal Domain." The Lord of Wuji gently raised his hand, and a tea table was directly reconstructed from the obsidian floor. He sat down slowly.

"You are his society member, so naturally, you must welcome him together with me... You are also a part of the 'goodwill' our Eternal Domain wishes to express to him."

Mo Yao understood.

After the Red King received that letter, he would definitely think the Lord of Wuji had kidnapped him. Therefore, upon setting foot in Eternal, he would also definitely come with hostility... Thus, the Lord of Wuji had to bring him along, and an intact, well-fed, and well-clothed him at that, to show that he hadn't mistreated the Dusk Society member.

The Lord of Wuji indeed didn't want to become enemies with Chen Ling.

But Shi Rui's reckless strike added a few wounds to Mo Yao's body, directly ruining the Lord of Wuji's plan. It was only natural for the Lord of Wuji to crush his head.

"Mr. Mo, I truly didn't know about Shi Rui's actions... When the time comes, please explain it clearly to the Red King."

"...I will speak truthfully."

"Thank you." The Lord of Wuji nodded. "Then Mr. Mo, please go rest in the next room first. When the middle of the month arrives, I will come invite you."

Mo Yao nodded and was just about to turn and leave...

Suddenly,

He turned his head back and asked without any reason:

"Mr. Lou, your complexion doesn't seem too good recently? Do you have something on your mind?"

The Lord of Wuji subconsciously frowned, and then chuckled softly. "This body of mine is fundamentally not made of flesh and blood. How could you see changes in my 'complexion'?"

"I am someone who writes letters for others. What I'm best at is capturing people's emotions and injecting them into letters... Even if I can't clearly see your complexion, I can still detect some subtle changes." Mo Yao's gold-rimmed glasses reflected a faint light. He spoke with certainty, "You are under a lot of pressure lately."

"There's no need for Mr. Mo to trouble yourself over this matter."

The Lord of Wuji waved his hand.

Mo Yao didn't say any more. He stepped over Shi Rui's severed limbs and left directly.

After the door closed again, the Lord of Wuji took another look at the direction Mo Yao left. Then he turned around and returned to that chaotic field ridge...

This master of the Eternal Domain, a God of Material Science possessing the ability of Immortality, crouched down without any regard for his image, digging out a wilted yellow vegetable leaf from the mud with his bare hands... He gazed at the vegetable leaf in his hand, as if appreciating the rarest jewelry in the world.

"It should... be close to succeeding," he muttered to himself.

...

A figure in a Theatrical Robe advanced silently in the barren Gray World.

It was already night, and thick clouds obscured the sky. On this desolate land, one couldn't even see their own fingers stretched out before them. Within this oppressive darkness, massive centipedes, akin to earth dragons, crawled beneath the ground.

Chen Ling walked on the surface, while they traversed underground. Beneath that silent ground was a Calamity carnival belonging to the Ghost Mockery Abyss.

"I only asked a portion of you to follow me. Who told you all to come?"

Chen Ling sighed somewhat helplessly.

The thick clouds drifted slowly. Through faint gaps in the clouds, one could see a hazy half-moon hanging in the vault of heaven, looking like a disk that had been sliced cleanly down the middle by a knife, neat and even.

Chen Ling looked up at the sky and muttered to himself:

"It's about time..."

But where exactly was the Eternal Domain?

Chen Ling's current location was already near the Ghost Mockery Abyss, and the time was indeed the middle of the month. Yet, as far as the eye could see, there seemed to be no shadow of a flying domain... One must know, the scale of the Eternal Domain was massive. For such a thing to be flying in the sky, it was impossible not to see even a corner of it.

Right at this moment, Chen Ling seemed to have noticed something. His eyes narrowed into slits as he looked carefully above the clouds.

At the intersection between the half-moon and the clouds, in that seemingly empty void, the light began to gradually distort. Like a lens transforming into a physical entity, the outline of a massive domain actually materialized from the void just like that!

Chen Ling had the Secret Pupil, so he could vaguely see that there was an uncoordinated anomaly in that patch of sky. But the moment that thing truly materialized, he was still taken aback.

The Eternal Domain could actually turn invisible?

No...

Did the Lord of Wuji turn the bottom of the Eternal Domain into some kind of invisible material?

Chen Ling realized that his understanding of the Lord of Wuji's methods was still too shallow. In this stage of civilizational regression, humanity couldn't use industrial methods to manufacture those high-end materials. But Lou Yu could directly transform and forge them using his own power... Even at the peak of human industry, they had never researched invisible materials of this caliber!

The dreamlike kingdom reigning above the clouds materialized bit by bit before Chen Ling's eyes. Accompanied by bursts of low, muffled rumbles, it drew closer and closer to the earth...

"Is this... the 'Eternal' you created?"
