Chapter 529: Seeking Vengeance

The Grand Void Universe.

Re De, who was speaking with Lüta, suddenly shuddered: "Damn… someone's attacking me—go get my brother!"

"Who?" Lüta's expression turned deadly; her green hair transformed into giant serpents.

In an instant, she contacted Yinkesi, learned Re De 's location, and identified the ambushers: "That Yuanmian beast Kuilan? Even with the Yuanmian Palace, he's barely entered Law Lord Second Rank—how could he injure you badly enough to disrupt your consciousness?"

"Damn it, Kuilan used a one-time treasure—a willpower attack—that crippled me…"

Re De explained rapidly: "My law body and willpower are both severely wounded—I've dropped to barely Law Lord First Rank. If Kuilan has another offensive treasure, I'm dead."

"My true body is already en route—we're closer. Hold on for thirty-seven seconds!"

Lüta spoke at once.

In a dark universe, Re De became a flame giant dozens of meters tall, roaring as he slammed repeatedly against the "Yuanmian Palace."

The "Yuanmian Palace" had shrunk to only a few hundred meters long, yet its power was far more condensed.

Each collision extinguished portions of the flame giant's fire.

"Damn it, Kuilan… I swear we've never crossed paths—why ambush me?"

Re De roared.

Terrifying fire laws descended, forming fireballs that seemed ready to burn all things.

Puff! Puff!

The fireballs struck the Yuanmian Palace but left only charred marks—useless.

"Hmph. No grudge means you can't fight?"

Kuilan's expression was icy.

Suddenly!

Countless green serpents emerged across the universe, like chains, effortlessly entangling the Yuanmian Palace.

"Ha! Lüta, you've arrived."

Re De laughed loudly; the flame giant advanced instead of retreating, grabbing the Yuanmian Palace with both massive hands: "Kuilan… you're dead today. Even with that relic, once my brother arrives, you're finished."

Sssss!

The green serpents coiled like vines, wrapping layer upon layer around the Yuanmian Palace.

A green serpent ball descended, from which Lüta's form stepped out: "Re De, how are you?"

"Fine. Not dead yet!"

Re De instantly reverted to human form and spat a mouthful of blood: "Damn brat—even the former Yuanmian Palace master… dared not…"

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from the Yuanmian Palace.

A man in a black robe raised his fist and struck Lüta squarely.

On Lüta's body, a green robe suddenly glowed emerald, absorbing most of the impact.

But the remaining force still struck her.

Snap! Snap!

The green serpents shrieked and writhed—but could not stop being severed at the waist.

They fell helplessly, turning into strands of hair midair.

"Die!"

The black-robed man wielded a claw-shaped weapon, tearing through space, turning the universe within hundreds of thousands of miles into chaos.

He looked ready to kill Lüta with a single claw.

"Together."

Lüta summoned a soft whip in her hand and joined Re De.

Crimson and azure light instantly spread like veils of radiance.

Beneath the green glow, not only Lüta but Re De 's wounds healed faster.

Simultaneously, the terrifying crimson firelight met the claw shadow—stalemate.

"Heh… you dared insult my master? You're dead."

Inside the Yuanmian Palace, Kuilan crushed a pure white crystal in his hand.

Then…

A terrifying will awakened—reaching Law Lord Fourth Rank.

The ancient spirit of the Yuanmian Palace stood nearby, watching silently: "Kuilan… since you've decided to waste the life-saving relic your master gave you, the rest of the path must be walked alone."

Hummm!

A shadow appeared above the Yuanmian Palace, suddenly transforming into a beast half-dog, half-wolf.

It roared, opening a bloodied maw.

A terrifying devouring force descended, carrying a soul-devouring wave that swept over Re De and Lüta.

"Damn—it's the Yuanmian Palace master's most feared technique…"

Re De turned pale; his already wounded soul was instantly devoured by an unknown force, his corpse falling from midair.

"No!"

Lüta's green robe tore apart—clearly also severely wounded.

Though the Yuanmian Palace master's shadow vanished after the strike, without Re De, the crimson and azure hues in the universe collapsed.

And the terrifying claw shadow, now unimpeded, slammed into Lüta with full force.

Lüta fell like a severed kite from the void.

At the same time, her hair grew endlessly, becoming serpents that wrapped her entire body. "Final life-saving move… still going to die!"

The black-robed man swung his claw again.

But at that moment, Kuilan's face turned ashen: "Damn… my pre-placed puppet detected Yinkesi—he's broken free from the Xingmu experts we lured away, and could teleport here any second… you've got ten seconds—come with me now!"

"Damn."

The black-robed man struck again, fiercely: "Give me twenty more seconds—I'll shatter this barrier!"

But he remained calm—he wouldn't trade his life for Lüta's.

He flickered lightly and entered the Yuanmian Palace.

The Yuanmian Palace roared, becoming a streak of light that vanished into the horizon.

Only then did a figure appear on the battlefield, slowly solidifying—it was Yinkesi!

"Damn… you won't escape."

Yinkesi scanned the battlefield, fury boiling over—he prepared to teleport and intercept the Yuanmian Palace.

"Ah!"

This work has been compiled and uploaded~~

But at that moment, a youth with sword-like brows and starlit eyes suddenly teleported beside Lüta, smiled faintly, and extended his immortal sword without a trace of violence.

"Big brother, save…"

Lüta's face still held terror as her body turned to ash within a lotus of blades.

Fang Xing raised his hand again, collecting Lüta's and Re De 's storage items—his spoils of war.

"You'll die!"

Yinkesi's eyes turned red; he reached out and shattered the hundred-thousand-mile space around Fang Xing—endless void storms surged forth, yet not a single fold of Fang Xing's robe trembled.

"Space law perfected… you're allied with Kuilan and that coward hiding in the shadows?"

Yinkesi's body shimmered with a crystal-like armor, his expression cold: "Though that black-robed man used a secret treasure to conceal his aura, I'll find him… then you'll face the wanted notices of a peak civilization—no peace until death!"

Killing a Law Lord of the Starry Civilization would surely trigger a manhunt.

And this wouldn't be some petty feud like the Blood Prison Civilization.

"Heh…"

Fang Xing chuckled—he'd return to the True Immortal Realm after this secret realm opened.

By then, even a Fourteenth Rank Dao Master couldn't trace him—why fear them?

Besides, if they dared make enemies, they shouldn't fear his revenge!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He spoke no more, summoning over a hundred clones, each wielding supreme sword arts.

"Among Law Lord Fourth Rank, my offense is average—but stacked together, I become extremely troublesome…"

After all, earlier, Fang Xing's hundred swords equaled a hundred Law Lord Fourth Rank attacks—enough to erase even a Third Rank Limit.

That's the power of supreme laws!

Fang Xing now wanted to test whether he could kill a standard Law Lord Fourth Rank.

Law Lord Fourth Rank was the peak of Heavenly Immortal and Heavenly Demon realms in Qingyuan Great Realm—even the ancient Black Dragon could only look up to them.

"Black Hole: One Sword, Lotus Born!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lotus blades bloomed across the universe, strange gold-and-silver runes enveloping the entire starry sky.

"Hmm? Space frozen?"

Yinkesi clenched his fist, releasing space energy that shattered countless silver runes.

But the next instant, his body was frozen midair—by the power of "Time Stillness."

Shhh! Shhh!

Sword qi struck Yinkesi's transparent armor, stacking endlessly… then exploded.

Puff!

With a flash, Inques appeared light-years away, spitting out a mouthful of blood: "Damn it… not only has he perfected spatial law, but temporal law as well? He can summon over a hundred past selves in an instant… If his attack were even slightly more refined, my Ten Thousand Light Armor wouldn't have been able to dampen so much— I'd be dead for sure…"

But at that moment, a chilling sight appeared.

Before him, in the empty void, an invisible gate opened—and Fang Xing appeared right behind: "Our duel is not yet decided. Take another sword strike!"

"Get lost!"

Inques turned green and teleported away again.

Meanwhile, within the Illusory Void Layer, he sensed his cultivation counterpart's true body drawing nearer, locking onto him…

"Damn it!"

Inques finally felt the threat of death.

Originally, with his mastery of perfected spatial law, he could have vanished into the Illusory Void Layer, where no technique could harm him.

But facing Fang Xing—who also mastered spatial law—hiding there was merely walking into a trap.

Even his teleportation was being constantly countered; if all his coordinates within the Illusory Void Layer were destroyed, the next time he emerged, he'd have to face his enemy's true body directly.

"Aaaah… What enmity or grievance do we possibly have?!"

After teleporting again, Inques saw Fang Xing once more, his face twisted in rage: "One last gamble… Lord of Qingli Palace, save me!"

He vanished with another teleport—but Fang Xing did not follow.

"Hm? Directly teleported into the heart of the tree-like star system… Joined up with Lord Qingli? With a spatial-perfected Law Lord like him, killing him is truly difficult…"

Fang Xing did not pursue. After all, his offensive power was mediocre; going deeper might lead to disaster if he encountered a powerful expert.

For example… the Starwood Clan's fifth-rank Law Lord leader.

"The key is… my attack is still too weak. Even after combining the strikes of a hundred past selves… the power still isn't refined or concentrated enough… Otherwise, Inques would've died the first time!"

The cultivation counterpart slowly faded away: "After returning, I must learn a sword Dao immortal array…"
