Chapter 553: The Confrontation
Chapter 553: The Confrontation
Yumir was one of the three peak Lawmasters of the fifth rank in the Starry Sky Civilization.
More importantly, he was a native of the Starry Sky Civilization.
Although his relationship with Inquis and the others couldn't be described as close, they definitely had some connection.
Now, seeing the three of them killed, a hint of anger flashed across his face.
With a lift of his hand, an inexplicable 'Cosmic Catastrophe' filled the space layers within a radius of several light-years, sealing off any possibility of escape through teleportation.
After completing this, Yumir turned to Fang Xing, "You're... the culprit behind the ambush on the Green Tower last time? And now you've come again... What grudge do you hold against them?"
"The Way of Catastrophe? Indeed, you're just a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending it."
Fang Xing sighed with emotion.
He could sense that Yumir's power of the Way of Catastrophe had reached a level beyond imagination.
Even the various layers of space were filled with the power of the Way of Catastrophe.
If he tried to teleport using the 'Illusory Layer,' he would undoubtedly trigger it and face unimaginable, terrifying catastrophes.
"Grudges? Of course, there's a grudge... So what? Will you let me go?"
A sword in Fang Xing's hand drew a line of sword light, quietly appearing with the power to distort space-time.
Although it was just a defensive sword light, if a lower-tier Lawmaster were to face it, it would be a hair's breadth away from being separated by thousands of miles, and the attack from the previous second would never reach the next.
The most distant distance in the world is the distance of space-time.
"A Space-Time Lawmaster? I'll only make your death quicker..."
With a thought, Yumir summoned a terrifying cosmic storm, sweeping towards Fang Xing.
Hss!
Cosmic Rays!
Supernova Explosion! Various terrifying forces of catastrophe appeared one by one, but they were blocked by the sword light and couldn't truly reach Fang Xing's true body.
However, Yumir's eyes lit up, "Catastrophe!"
In an instant, Fang Xing felt a problem arise in the fusion of his time and space laws.
This slight obstacle instantly caused the originally smooth-flowing sword light to collapse.
This was a 'Catastrophe'!
The defensive sword light dissipated, and the terrifying cosmic storm instantly struck Fang Xing, tearing through his immortal power defense, followed by True Immortal-level armor, skin, and flesh... leaving behind only a crimson skeleton.
Then... the skeleton gradually became illusory and disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, this was just a past body.
"Ten Thousand Immortal Sword Formation!"
Sword lights leaped out, transforming into Fang Xing's figure.
Countless flying swords turned into a long river, falling like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
"Haha! Although you're considered good among fourth-rank Lawmasters, you're still not a fifth-rank Lawmaster... and haven't fully grasped the power of the Way of Space-Time..."
Yumir burst into laughter, his body exploding and transforming into a 'Catastrophe True Body' of unimaginable size! This Catastrophe True Body had two supernovas as its eyes, its body was a vast cosmic storm, and countless cosmic rays gathered to form three faces with different expressions.
The Catastrophe Giant lightly raised its hand, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sword Formation shattered like eggshells.
Facing this indescribably terrifying giant, Fang Xing's sword techniques could hardly make a dent, let alone cause any real damage.
"A fifth-rank Lawmaster... indeed formidable and terrifying."
Fang Xing sighed softly.
But even such a powerful fifth-rank Lawmaster could only barely escape with his life in the hands of a Dao Master!
"Aside from my Heart Power, I'm afraid none of my abilities can significantly affect Yumir."
Fang Xing pressed his forehead.
The Heart Manifestation of the Annihilation Wolf appeared and rushed into the 'Catastrophe Giant's' body.
The Catastrophe Giant was stunned, and all three of its faces showed a hint of bewilderment.
Rustle!
Suddenly, the enormous Catastrophe Giant crumbled, revealing Yumir's true body.
Yumir's face turned slightly pale, his eyes filled with disbelief, "What kind of attack was that? My soul origin... was instantly destroyed by a tenth?"
"Only a tenth of the soul origin was destroyed?"
Fang Xing sighed softly.
Yumir was so furious that he could barely speak.
Not only had he cultivated will secret techniques, but he also had treasures to protect his soul.
Even when facing a fifth-rank Lawmaster among the Insect Tribe, the Will Master, he could ensure he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
But he never expected to suffer such a huge loss at the hands of a fourth-rank Lawmaster!
"Ignoring defense, even my will defense secret technique was useless..."
"It's a True Spirit attack! Who are you? How could you possibly obtain such a legacy?"
Yumir asked in a mix of shock and anger.
Then, he saw that Fang Xing didn't respond; he just pressed his forehead, and another Heart Manifestation of the Annihilation Wolf appeared.
Yumir let out a strange cry and turned to flee.
'Whether it's using treasures or some heaven-defying secret technique, if it can destroy a tenth of my soul origin in one go, a few more times will be enough to kill me!'
Yumir transformed into a cosmic ray and sped away, his heart still trembling.
Being able to destroy a tenth of his soul origin in one go didn't mean that nine more attacks were needed to kill him.
In fact, the number of times required would be far less than nine.
Losing a tenth of the soul origin was still manageable, but losing over two or three tenths would definitely weaken the soul, making it difficult to control the source power, greatly reducing strength, and weakening defenses significantly.
Once it exceeds half, the soul would be severely injured, leaving only a fraction of its strength, and the opponent would be at their mercy!
"Such incredible speed."
"Fang Xing unleashed a sword beam, but he found that he couldn't catch up to Yuya's figure, and couldn't help but sigh."
"No wonder he's a fifth-tier Lawmaster who can escape from the hands of an ordinary Dao Lord. Truly formidable!"
Even his escape skills were top-notch.
In reality, escaping for one's life was not shameful!
Those Lawmasters who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years understood one thing: only by staying alive could there be infinite possibilities!
So, no matter the time, escape and life-preserving secrets were the most precious things!
...
The third inheritance stone pillar.
"Halt!"
"Identify yourself and submit to inspection!"
As Fang Xing's main body approached the stone pillar, he was stopped.
He took a look and saw that the third stone pillar was now surrounded by a dense military camp. A quick scan revealed hundreds of thousands of Twelve Realms experts forming various military formations.
Not a single mistake, not a single hair out of place, not a single detail overlooked.
'The role of these Twelve Realms experts is probably to patrol and provide early warnings...'
'They might be able to hold off a few fourth-tier Lawmasters, but against a fifth-tier Lawmaster, they'd be powerless...'
'In short, they're just cannon fodder.'
He sighed inwardly, but his expression remained serious as he replied, "Starry Civilization, Lawmaster Fang Xing..."
Streams of light flashed, and the dozens of Twelve Realms experts in front of him immediately bowed, "Your Excellency Lawmaster, please!"
"Hmm, who's in charge here?" Fang Xing asked casually as he had a guard lead the way.
"It's Lord Yuya, mainly guarding against a fifth-tier Queen of the Insect Tribe's surprise attack..." The guard explained and handed over a green stone, "This is a replica of the 'Tai Xu Stone', which can only be used for communication near the third inheritance stone pillar..."
"Thank you."
As Fang Xing took the replica Tai Xu Stone, he immediately sensed a virtual hall.
Compared to the real Tai Xu Universe, this place only had one hall.
However, within the hall, there were quite a few Lawmasters.
"Lawmaster Fang Xing, you're here?"
Several acquaintances greeted him, "This inheritance stone pillar is several light-years high... According to our speculation, the higher the position, the greater the chance of obtaining the inheritance in the future... So, we agreed to determine the height based on the Starry Ranking."
"Since it's an agreement among everyone, I'll abide by it."
Fang Xing appeared very amiable.
After all, if it were a matter of cunningly seizing the inheritance, he would definitely send his cultivation clone to do it.
He came here just to observe.
"According to the Starry Ranking, I'm still in the nine hundredth place, but not every Lawmaster comes to the third inheritance stone pillar, so this position is already quite good."
He went with the flow and flew to a height of about 2.5 light-years, silently observing the inheritance stone pillar before him.
The stone pillar was ancient and vast, exuding an unimaginable aura of authority.
However, from merely contemplating it, he didn't sense anything.
"Perhaps... it's not the right time yet?"
A guess suddenly came to Fang Xing's mind.
At that moment, a smile appeared on his lips, and he entered the conference hall.
The temporary virtual meeting room was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of information being gathered at all times.
"Yinques is dead..."
"He was killed by an unfamiliar Lawmaster."
"It's fine. Lord Yuya has gone to deal with it, and that stranger won't be able to run rampant for long."
But soon after, the results were in.
"What? Lord Yuya actually lost? Could the killer be a sixth-tier Lawmaster?"
"Lord Yuya has returned to recover, and there's new intelligence to share..."
A bull-headed Lawmaster raised his hand and projected an image, which showed a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, "This person's code name is 'Lord of Swords'. He's skilled in the law of time and space. Although his strength is around the fourth tier of Lawmasters, he possesses a mysterious secret technique that can attack souls... His soul attack has reached the fifth-tier level, or even higher..."
"Hiss... Such a heaven-defying fourth-tier Lawmaster? How long has it been since we've seen one like this?"
The other Lawmasters were astonished:
"With a soul attack at the fifth-tier level, I believe he can be considered a fifth-tier Lawmaster. Anyway, if we encounter him, it's certain death, and we might even die faster..."
"This 'Lord of Swords' is probably also human. I wonder why he has a deadly feud with Yinques and the others... But today, he's also stepped on our Starry Civilization and will soon be famous throughout the universe."
"Indeed, this Transcendence Secret Realm's emergence is a significant event for us Lawmasters. So many talented and outstanding individuals have emerged, like the 'Blood Prison God Emperor' and 'Heavenly Blade'..."
"At least the Blood Prison God Emperor has roots in a higher civilization, but Heavenly Blade seems to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A mere wanderer from an ordinary universe is actually a fifth-tier Lawmaster, scary..."
"I heard that Heavenly Blade's identity is very ancient and not simple... But living for too long can drive one mad."
As Fang Xing chatted with the Lawmasters, he played the role of an onlooker, "Hmm, the Lawmasters on our side are fine, but those with hostile intentions, like Lord of Swords, Devourer, and Heart King, if we encounter them in the future, we must escape immediately."
"Exactly..." The other Lawmasters nodded in agreement.
Suddenly!
Fang Xing's eyes flickered as he looked towards the inheritance stone pillar, "The inheritance... is it about to begin?"
