Chapter 142: Rule Collision

With a wave of his hand, a feather pen reappeared in his hand; he had now completely mastered this Rule Power, and the feather had been refined into part of his body.

However, there were no materials left to refine it again, so he could only wait until he collected materials later! Of course, he could still continue using the Brush of Alsu's ability, only needing to consume a small amount of mental power to guide the Rule within into manifestation, with no side effects whatsoever.

"Rosago, because he pursued nobles who escaped from Backlund, came to Tingen and had a conflict with Lanlulus of the Aurora Society, and a battle occurred behind Melly Street tonight."

A line of words was imprinted in the Void, slowly dissipating as Jiang Xuan withdrew the feather into his body.

Rosago was a killer hired by a high-ranking official of Backlund; he was also a Beyonder of the "Seer" Pathway, and finally died at Klein's hands in Backlund. In his consciousness, one could obtain Klein's upcoming Mage, Faceless, and Puppet Master Formulas, exactly what Klein needed now.

As for Lanlulus, he was also one of the causes of the unrest in Tingen; as a person of interest to the emerging organization Aurora Society, he was also the culprit who nearly caused the formal Creator to descend.

He had already dealt with Instanzgwil; this small fry had no need to be kept around to cause trouble.

The Rule fluctuations slowly dissipated, the door before Jiang Xuan slowly opened, and a youth wearing a monocle elegantly strode in.

"Good morning, sir! I hope I haven't disturbed you!" The upright youth wore a black long robe, had black hair and black eyes, a gaunt face with an evil charming smile, a gold-rimmed glasses on his right eye, and was now slowly bowing.

Seeing that familiar gold-rimmed glasses, Jiang Xuan laughed: "But you indeed disturbed me; I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!"

The person before him was one of the children of the Ancient Sun God: Time Angel "Amon," mastering Sequence 1 Worm of Time of the Mistaken Pathway, holding Apprentice Pathway and Uniqueness, and also a Sequence 1 Characteristic Material.

The Sun once prophesied: Amon is the God of Deception, the God of Pranks, is the Light of the Apocalypse!

"Then I can only feel deeply sorry!" Amon maintained a gentlemanly smile looking at Jiang Xuan.

Xuanhuang Qi emerged on Jiang Xuan's body; at the moment it condensed into a pagoda, it emitted a sound like gold but not gold, and a transparent, eerie worm floated out from the Void.

"What Sealed Artifact is this? It can actually resist my Worm of Time!"

Although the Worm of Time was resisted, Amon was not panicked at all; instead, he calmly sized up the Linglong Treasure Pagoda circulating Xuanhuang Qi and wrapping Jiang Xuan's entire body.

"Maybe your Worm of Time is too weak!" Jiang Xuan said softly: "Coming without returning is impolite; you take one of my moves too!"

Jiang Xuan's finger slid forward lightly, a white light turned into a sharp sword tip stabbing toward Amon.

Amon's gaze instantly turned heavy; he felt a bone-piercing chill from this white light; if the white light touched his body, he would surely die!

In a flash, Amon did not dare to be slow; both hands grabbed forward at the space: "Steal Authority!"

The forward speed of the Sword Light was as if slowed down countless times, only moving forward at a turtle's crawling speed, leisurely drifting.

"Steal Authority!"

Amon's both hands grabbed at the white radiance again; his whole face instantly turned pale a few points; the white light finally condensed and stayed motionless in Yuan Di!

His heart shook; he had only stolen the other party's casual attack, but the power consumed actually reached one-tenth! That meant he could at most steal this kind of casual attack ten times!

With a wave of his hand, the white radiance instantly turned around and rushed toward Jiang Xuan!

Under Amon's shocked gaze, the white radiance was caught by Jiang Xuan reaching out his hand; when he closed his hand and opened it again, the white radiance had completely disappeared.

Jiang Xuan waved out another white radiance again; Yin-Yang Power was revealed in his eyes; he seriously observed Amon's stolen Rule ability.

Just now, the white radiance slowed down because Amon stole time; afterward, he stole Jiang Xuan's attack into his own; both behaviors at the moment of stealing had vast World Rules circling between the two people in a space of less than five meters.

This time facing the white radiance, Amon did not try to steal again; a Worm of Time appeared out of thin air beside the white radiance.

The Worm of Time was a kind of translucent small worm, only thumb-length long; on it, one could clearly distinguish twelve completely transparent rings symbolizing twelve clocks, surging forth an indescribable invisible flood, as if coming from crossing the long Cosmos history.

As the Worm of Time climbed close to the white light, Jiang Xuan's brow slightly raised.

This Worm of Time actually stole part of the Sword Radiance, making it no longer continuous, independently decomposing into two attacks brushing past each other.

The next second, Amon instantly appeared before Jiang Xuan; this was him stealing Space to achieve teleportation!

"Let me see your Fate!" Amon's finger lightly hooked in the air; an invisible line connecting to Jiang Xuan's Head Top appeared.

The line spread in the air, rootless and insubstantial; this was Jiang Xuan's Fate.

"Steal Fate!" Amon's hand like a Blade slashed down at the Fate line.

Just then, a gentle and elegant Rule Power from within Jiang Xuan's body soared up, gradually climbing onto the Fate line, resisting the Stealing power.

Sequence 1 Writer?

Amon probed the essence of this Rule; his hand did not stop at all; the Uniqueness Rule belonging to "Door" on his body emerged.

Jiang Xuan's Divine Sense moved; his consciousness instantly rushed into the other party's body, encountering no resistance at all within!

Charging straight into the other party's Sea of Consciousness Island, Jiang Xuan found the island empty, with only a transparent Worm of Time lying in an insignificant corner.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's substantial mental imprint, the Worm of Time actually emitted Amon's voice: "Your subconscious mental power is actually so powerful! It even fused the Writer's Characteristic; why have I never heard of you before!"

Jiang Xuan's soul instantly rushed to the Worm of Time's side; one hand pinched it to pieces; the Rules knotted within the Worm of Time slowly dissipated.

But it wasn't over yet; Jiang Xuan's Divine Sense returned, and knocking sounds rang out again.

Without waiting for Jiang Xuan to speak, a youth of different appearance strode in, raised his hand to prop up his single-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses, and on his face was an unchanging eerie smile: "This time I did knock on the door!"

Immediately after, the second, third Figures... dozens of Figures squeezed into the room after knocking; their right eyes all wore a pair of gold-rimmed embedded glasses, and on their faces hung eerie smiles.

The Amon who entered the room made no move; he just quietly sized up Jiang Xuan.

"I can't see his flaws; how about we hold a Meng School Meeting to discuss it?" The first Amon to approach said with distress.

"Discussion is meaningless; how about we just test it!" An Amon who was already bored sitting by the wall proposed.

"How about you take me to see Amon; I'm also very interested in him!" Jiang Xuan did not rush to act; instead, he looked at the many Amons with interest and interjected.

These Amons all had Worm of Time Rule Power condensed on them; for other Sequence 1s, condensing the Worm of Time required consuming a large amount of time and energy, even overdrafting life.

But for Amon, this Time King, the Worm of Time was just casually condensed; there was no such thing as rarity at all.

Those who came were just Amon's avatars; the Worm of Time was just a condensation of Sequence 1 Rules; it contained no knowledge about Rules at all; it might be a good thing for Klein, but for Jiang Xuan, it was of no use whatsoever.

What he was more interested in was Time Angel "Amon"; there must be something Jiang Xuan was interested in on him.

"You're so terrifying; with the main body's timid nature, he definitely doesn't dare to see you!" The Amon sitting on the ground shook his head and retorted.

"This is the Night Goddess's turf; if he comes, he will suffer the Night Goddess's Godly Descent pursuit!"

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes; Amon, as the King of Pranks, could any word he said be true?

"So your main body is hiding around?"

"Hmm?" Amon revealed his signature eerie smile; both eyes stared at Jiang Xuan with interest: "You seem to understand me very well?"

Jiang Xuan spoke no nonsense; the Eight Trigrams Furnace broke out of his body, transforming into a huge cauldron suppressing all things; the crimson-gold flames roared and surged toward all the Amons around like flood dragons; one fire dragon after another was covered with Daojie all over their bodies, unstoppable.

The Amons' eyes lit up in unison, speaking with one voice: "So you were the one who set that fire! You made me miss a farce!"

"Rule Theft!"

Visible rule power collided with the Daojie on the fire dragon, causing the fire dragon to tremble violently; the Daojie contained within the Eight Trigrams Furnace collided with Rule Theft, and Dao and principle circulated within to maintain the fire dragon's stability.

But it only held for a few seconds; most of the fire dragon was stolen and collided with other uncontrolled fire dragons, and the splashing firelight ignited the surrounding wooden buildings instantly, sending flames soaring into the sky.

"I've never seen anyone who can master the rules of this crimson-gold flame; you truly make the main body more and more interested!" one Amon said seriously.

Jiang Xuan let out a cold snort, and his divine sense instantly condensed into needles stabbing toward the speaking Amon.

Amon's expression remained unchanged, and thick rule power completely blocked Jiang Xuan's probing.

"I knew your main body was here too!" Jiang Xuan sneered.

The next second, in the world of flames, white bones were generated and built underground one after another; this was his brother Adam's Sealed Artifact, the White Bone Cathedral!

The White Bone Cathedral could prevent a Cleric from discovering him for thirty seconds after he acted; if he acted again after thirty seconds, a True God would immediately descend to exterminate him.

"A strange ability—I can't even sense what Sequence this ability is!" Amon said seriously: "But there are only thirty seconds! I must gain something, right!"

The next second Amon instantly appeared beside Jiang Xuan, his fingers trembling slightly, and powerful rule power condensed around him.

"Ding, ding, ding!" Xuanhuang Qi appeared out of thin air, blocking and colliding with all rule power influences outside his body—Ten Thousand Laws Unassailable!

"A detestable ability, truly strange!"

Jiang Xuan's hand produced the Immortal Slaying Sword out of thin air.

The Immortal Trapping Sword mainly targets energy, and under this collision of Great Dao rules, it had little effect.

The white radiance condensed in the Immortal Slaying Sword was formed from a starry sky condensed together; its sharpness ignored any material defense, specifically slaying rules and Great Daos, reaching the point where nothing was uncuttable!

Drawing the Immortal Slaying Sword meant Jiang Xuan was getting serious too.

"Heaven's Will Slays Immortals!"

In an instant, the flames and light around him became dim!

It was not that the flames themselves dimmed, but rather an extremely bright sword radiance appeared before his eyes; the sword radiance broke through the flames and spread toward the horizon with sharp golden radiance, and the people of Tingen City felt as if their heads were about to fall off just from looking at it once.

Soaring sword qi rushed straight toward Amon's main body; Amon's expression turned serious—he had never seen an attack this powerful without adding rule power!

"Rule Theft!"

Rule power surged in Amon's hand, and several Time Worms clung to the sword radiance, wanting to decompose this soaring sword radiance.

"This sword radiance fears no rule theft ability of the Time Worms!"

Jiang Xuan held his brush and quickly wrote in the Void; "Writer" rules began to spread around the sword radiance, completely blocking the Time Worms outside!

"Thought Theft!"

Seeing the attack fail, Amon immediately turned his spear toward Jiang Xuan's main body, stealing Jiang Xuan's consciousness.

"Boom!"

Rule power and Xuanhuang Mother Qi collided once again, and at the same time Jiang Xuan had already found the subconscious island belonging to Amon's main body in the Collective Subconscious Ocean.

Carrying the power of collective potential consciousness, it bombarded toward the isolated island.

Amon's subconscious island was guarded by a large number of Time Worms, making it absolutely impossible to sneak in and influence; he could only attack forcibly.

"You only obtained the 'Writer' Characteristic three days ago, and you've already completely digested it?" Feeling the vast and arbitrarily controllable Writer rules, Amon exclaimed in surprise.

Logically, the higher the Sequence of the Potion, the slower the absorption time required; even for him, who was born an Angel King, fully mastering a Sequence 1 Characteristic would take more than three days.

"Time Theft!"

White light was unstoppable and unavoidable, and time was approaching thirty seconds; Amon looked deeply at Jiang Xuan:

"You have the Writer Characteristic; I suppose that obsessive madman will be even more interested in you! We will meet again!"

Jiang Xuan's Yin-Yang Power circulated, and the entire space was divided into black and white; an invisible, annihilating Death Power spread throughout the entire space.

"Want to leave? Is the place before me somewhere you can come and go as you please?"

Accompanied by a thunderous angry roar, Yin-Yang Death Power actually directly broke through the stolen time region and landed on Amon.

Amon screamed, and his body instantly turned into countless Time Worms, disappearing in the blazing fierce fire.

Around the Amon avatars, Time Worms crawled out one after another, wanting to flee in all directions and disappear.

Jiang Xuan did not stop these Time Worms from fleeing; killing these avatars was of little use no matter how many, as long as Amon needed avatars, there were countless ways to restore them.

The surroundings fell silent, leaving only the crackling sound of old wood burning; the Yin-Yang Power covering the surroundings gradually dissipated, and where the Time Worms dissipated, a strange key made of symbols fell to the ground.

"Door" Pathway Sequence 2: Star Key!

Although Amon still escaped, he ultimately paid a price!

Jiang Xuan waved his hand, and the flames reversed back into the Eight Trigrams Furnace; as the Eight Trigrams Furnace was withdrawn into his body, the buildings collapsed with a boom, and the white bones on the ground turned to powder and dissipated in the air.

Jiang Xuan walked forward and picked up the Star Key symbolizing Door Pathway Sequence 2 from the ground, looking toward the sky.

In the dim sky, a yellow shadow emerged, and a gaze quietly watched everything that had just happened.

Their gazes collided, and Jiang Xuan understood who the other party was.

One of the Eight Angel Kings, the "Angel King of Daydream," Amon's brother and also his father—Adam!
