Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 197

Help me buy a new computer :D /DavidLord

...

The kings of the Black Mist Mountains are the most powerful beasts in the entire range.

They have noble bloodlines and long lifespans, but most of the time, they are in a state of slumber.

Ten years ago, Lin Yuan secretly observed a 'king' who had the appearance of a phoenix and a vermilion bird, sleeping on a red wutong tree. (Seems like Ash when he saw a legendary pokemon for the first time haha :D)

However, at that time, Lin Yuan did not have the confidence to deal with that 'king'.

Of course, Lin Yuan's "dealing with" meant dealing with it without being noticed.

There are eight 'kings' in the Black Mist Mountains, and the phoenix that Lin Yuan wants to deal with must not cause any major disturbances. Otherwise, alerting the other seven 'kings' would cause unforeseen variables.

"Almost there," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The eight 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains all possess strength ranging from the sixth rank to the peak of the sixth rank.

Lin Yuan's current strength also falls within the sixth rank range. In terms of pure strength, the two should be evenly matched.

Even if one side could win, it would undoubtedly come at a great cost. It's completely impossible to avoid alarming the other 'kings'.

But this is only for normal demonic trees.

Lin Yuan is not a normal demonic tree. In addition to the many abilities of demonic trees, Lin Yuan also has insights into the rules of space, the rules of Yin and Yang, and the rules of strength.

With Lin Yuan's current understanding of the rules of space, with every move, he can open up a space prison, isolating the heavens and the earth.

This is also why Lin Yuan dares to take action against the 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains now.

"Don't hold back."

"End the battle as soon as possible."

In order to ensure the success of this operation, the main body of the demonic tree slowly moved towards the depths of the Black Mist Mountains.

In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

Here is a valley connected to the underground magma, where the air is scorching.

In the center of the valley, a red wutong tree stands tall. At the top of the wutong tree, there is a wind nest where a phoenix-like bird sleeps.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

Just at this moment.

Dozens of black tree branches began to rapidly approach from all directions, surrounding the wind nest at the top of the wutong tree without any blind spots.

The next moment.

The icy black tree branches were all burned to nothingness by flames.

"Caw!!!"

At the top of the wutong tree, within the wind nest, the phoenix quietly opened its eyes.

"Who is it?"

The phoenix emitted a terrifying mental fluctuation, and endless flames began to spread into the air.

Human cultivators and the eight 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains once made a covenant, mutually not interfering with each other.

The beasts of the Black Mist Mountains cannot cause trouble in the rear of human cultivators when they are resisting the invasion of foreign gods.

On this point, the eight 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains have no objections.

Although beasts and humans belong to two different races, they share the same world. Once the foreign gods invade, countless beasts in the Black Mist Mountains will also suffer.

Therefore.

For the past two to three hundred years.

The eight 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains have suppressed countless beasts, never even starting a beast tide, just to cooperate with human cultivators.

Of course, the covenant not only restricts the eight 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains, but human cultivators also cannot disturb the slumber of the 'kings'.

However, now.

The phoenix king didn't know what kind of means these black tree branches were, but they definitely didn't come from the beasts of the Black Mist Mountains.

As a 'king', the phoenix king has a noble bloodline and an unparalleled suppressive power over other beasts.

Those beasts tremble when they see it. How could they dare to make a move?

Therefore.

The phoenix king believes that this is the work of human cultivators.

This made the phoenix king even more angry. It faithfully fulfilled the covenant, but human cultivators took action against it instead.

"Die!"

The phoenix king was furious, and the flames of the phoenix boiled, burning all the black tree branches that approached to nothingness.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a day had passed.

At the beginning.

The phoenix king was extremely excited. It didn't know how long it had been since it had exerted such full force.

As 'kings' of their kind, they cannot easily take action, otherwise they would attract the attention of human cultivators, especially now, during a critical period of resisting foreign gods.

'But if I don't take the initiative, and you humans provoke me, there shouldn't be any problem with me taking action, right? I can even go to your alliance leader to hold you accountable.'

The more the phoenix king thought about it, the more excited it became.

The leader of the Azure Alliance, with extremely strong strength and a vast collection of treasures, had one treasure in particular that the phoenix king coveted.

Before, the phoenix king felt embarrassed to ask for it because there was no reason. But now that human cultivators have broken the covenant, everything is justified.

"Uh?"

"Something's not right."

The Phoenix King urged the Phoenix flames while the black tree branches around seemed endless, batch after batch being burned but showing no signs of stopping.

"What's going on?"

The Phoenix King felt a bit uneasy.

Its unease didn't stem from the endless black tree branches.

Each of these black branches was exceptionally sturdy, yet they couldn't withstand the Phoenix flames.

Even if more came, as long as its physical strength held, it wouldn't matter.

What made the Phoenix King uneasy was that it had been at it for so long, yet why hadn't the other seven 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains come?

It's worth noting that the Phoenix flames had great power and caused quite a stir. By now, the entire Black Mist Mountains should knew what was happening here.

Those seven old guys should have come by now, right?

The Phoenix King couldn't understand. The eight 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains had a rule of mutual vigilance: if one side was in trouble, the other seven would come to support.

This was the key to the continued existence of the Black Mist Mountains and why they had not been flattened by human cultivators.

Even the kings of the other nine mountain ranges had similar rules. All the beasts in the world of Azure had united to withstand human oppression.

But now?

The Phoenix King looked around.

Even if those seven old guys were just watching and didn't feel like coming over.

The human cultivators outside the mountains should have noticed what was happening here. Under normal circumstances, they would have sent someone to investigate long ago.

"Not good."

The Phoenix King ignored the black branches shooting from all directions.

Instead, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, trying to leave the Black Mist Mountains.

However, when the Phoenix King reached several dozen miles high, it seemed to encounter some kind of barrier, and its figure came to a sudden stop.

"What's this?"

The Phoenix King carefully observed the barrier in front of it.

Then, following the barrier, it looked around in all directions.

Under the Phoenix King's repeated observation, it suddenly discovered that it had fallen into a huge prison, with the space all around compressed into a space the size of a palm.

As if trapped in a cage.

The space around the Phoenix King had been reduced by hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand times.

Upon closer inspection, it was as if it had been compressed into a tiny space no bigger than a palm. The Phoenix King's massive figure now appeared as small as a sesame seed, constantly probing the surroundings like a headless fly.

"This is the Spatial Imprisonment, formed by the first type of core spatial model, the thirteenth type of core spatial model, the twenty-first type of core spatial model, the thirtieth type of core spatial model, and the thirty-third type of core spatial model."

Lin Yuan looked down at the struggling Phoenix King within the spatial prison.

Similar to the ability of 'teleportation', the Spatial Imprisonment was also the application of different core spatial models. By compressing space, it compressed the enemy and the surrounding space into the size of a palm.

Using the power of space to form a spatial barrier.

Unless the enemy had a deeper understanding of space than himself, Or the power they wielded was more than ten times that of Lin Yuan's, it would be difficult for them to escape.

And based on Lin Yuan's observation of this Phoenix King, although it resembled a phoenix, there was a fundamental difference from a true divine beast phoenix, and its understanding of space was not high.

"The rules of space."

Lin Yuan sighed lightly. It's no wonder that in the main world, for the humans to ascend to eighth rank evolvers, they must have a deep understanding of the rules of space.

Without understanding the rules of space, when encountering a strong individual proficient in space rules, one wouldn't even know how they died.

"Now, let's just wear it out, and then strike when its physical and spiritual energy are exhausted."

Lin Yuan looked at the palm-sized Phoenix King within the prison, patiently waiting.

After all, this Phoenix King was now in his hands, and there was no need to confront it head-on.

The scorching heat of the Phoenix flames was indeed terrifying, showing a tendency to restrain Lin Yuan.

Several days later.

The Phoenix King's expression became heavy, and its emitted aura dropped significantly.

"This space."

The Phoenix King vaguely realized something. What it now saw was no longer normal space, but a prison!

"Who on earth..."

"This kind of means... Could it be the Lord of the Azure Alliance? But why would they take action against me when the invasion of the foreign gods has not been resolved?"

The Phoenix King felt uneasy.

Suddenly.

Just then.

The space all around began to shatter.

Seeing this, the Phoenix King's expression brightened, and instinctively spread its wings to fly away.

Boom!

A pitch-black tree trunk pressed down, and one after another, black tree branches swiftly entangled.

"This?"

The Phoenix King widened its eyes. These branches now were far more powerful than the ones it had burned to nothing with the Phoenix flames at the beginning.

"Who are you?"

The Phoenix King felt that the branches entangling it were crazily devouring its qi, blood, and soul. In its final moments of consciousness, it followed the branches and saw a towering ancient tree fifty meters tall.

The ancient tree exuded a majestic aura, faintly revealing a sense of madness and evil.

"You, you're not a creature of this realm, you're a foreign god, you're that ancient demonic tree!!!"

The Phoenix King's mind surged with towering waves. Although it had never seen a foreign god, it had seen the ancestral demonic tree. But the aura emitted by Lin Yuan at this moment was completely different from the creatures of the Azure world.

"Foreign gods have already infiltrated the world of Azure?"

Such a thought surged in the mind of the Phoenix King, and its consciousness began to rapidly sink.

The immense aura and soul of the Phoenix King were completely swallowed by Lin Yuan.

Although the Phoenix King had a shallow understanding of spatial rules, its qi and blood were indeed extremely vast and of high quality, providing great nourishment and promotion to the demonic tree.

Moreover, the soul of the Phoenix King was also delicious, surpassing the total sum of souls of countless beasts Lin Yuan had previously devoured.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan was savoring the taste when he suddenly sensed seven powerful auras rising from the depths of the Black Mist Mountains.

It was the remaining seven 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains.

The disappearance of the Phoenix King's aura for several days initially made these seven 'kings' think that the Phoenix King was practicing some secret technique, so they didn't investigate further.

After all, in the eyes of these seven 'kings', only a few people in the entire Azure world could silently deal with the Phoenix King.

And those few individuals were currently busy resisting the invasion of the foreign gods, so it was impossible for them to take action.

Therefore, these seven 'kings' became negligent.

But now.

Several days had passed.

The Phoenix King's aura still hadn't reappeared.

This made the seven kings realize that something was amiss.

When they finally joined forces to go to the Phoenix King's nesting place, they were astonished to find that the wutong tree where the nest was located, and even the valley, had disappeared without a trace.

And now, the seven kings were erupting with their auras, searching for the Phoenix King together.

"It's still better to hide from the attention of the other seven kings."

Lin Yuan restrained his aura and silently observed the positions of the seven 'kings'. Eventually, he discovered that they had gathered in one place instead of being scattered. He sighed inwardly.

With the 'Spatial Imprisonment' he was currently employing, it wasn't a problem to trap one king.

Two or three could be managed with difficulty, but seven... that was a bit beyond his capabilities.

To break free from Lin Yuan's 'Spatial Imprisonment', there were two methods.

One was to have a deeper understanding of space than Lin Yuan.

The other was to unleash a force more than ten times that of Lin Yuan's.

Under the full power of the seven 'kings', the force they unleashed, with their innate talents and bloodlines, did indeed surpass Lin Yuan's by more than ten times.

"Take it slow."

"Even if it takes a little longer, I'll wait until I comprehend more core spatial models before dealing with them."

Lin Yuan comforted himself.

He planned to continue lurking until he completely surpassed the seven 'kings' of the Black Mist Mountains.

Outside the world of Azure.

The ancestral demonic tree, towering tens of thousands of feet high, with endless branches hanging down, exuded a terrifying and evil power for millions of miles around.

"These ants."

The ancestral demonic tree looked down at the battlefield below, where countless puppets of the evil gods were rushing into the world.

But they were all blocked by the strong ones in the Azure world. On the battlefield, a man in a green robe sat cross-legged, with a stone sword floating in front of him.

"If it weren't for the protection of the world..."

The ancestral demonic tree stared at the stone sword for a moment, feeling somewhat unwilling.

Rather than saying it was blocked by countless strong ones in the Azure world, it was being blocked by the world itself.

Whether it was the sturdy world barrier or the stone sword, they both came from the Azure world itself.

"Huh?"

Just as the ancestral demonic tree was considering whether to give up on this world.

With a casual sense, it unexpectedly discovered something.

"Several decades ago, I spent some origin and scattered hundreds of thousands of seeds into the Azure world. Surprisingly, one seed managed to survive?"

The ancestral demonic tree was somewhat surprised.

Back then, it had paid some price to open a crack in the Azure world and had scattered hundreds of thousands of seeds into it, with the goal of disrupting the rear of the Azure world.

Unfortunately.

The ancestral demonic tree had underestimated the suppression of the world itself.

The hundreds of thousands of seeds it had scattered had not grown at all. As time passed, they had died one after another.

Originally, the ancestral demonic tree had resigned itself to fate.

But now, it sensed that one seed had survived.

Although this sensation was very weak due to the blockade of the world barrier, as its offspring, the ancestral demonic tree was still very sure.

"Interesting."

After pondering for a while, the ancestral demonic tree once again expended its origin, following the faint connection, its consciousness began to cross over.

Deep in the Black Mist Mountains.

Lin Yuan was digesting the qi, blood, and soul of the Phoenix King.

Just then.

In the area of the demonic tree's roots.

The pitch-black flames suddenly began to boil.

The next moment.

A mental fluctuation emanated from within the pitch-black flames.

"You survived?"

This mental fluctuation, although weak, was extremely profound.

Lin Yuan almost instantly realized that this mental fluctuation came from the ancestral demonic tree outside the world.

Now, what should he do? Lin Yuan's thoughts turned, and based on the mental fluctuation from the ancestral demonic tree, he judged that the other party didn't know his specific situation.

Now, Lin Yuan was far more than just surviving, he was almost dominating the Black Mist Mountains.

"Ancestor."

Lin Yuan's tone was slightly respectful, in line with the normal posture of the offspring of the ancestral demonic tree.

"Although I survived, my current situation is not good."

"I urgently need the help of the ancestor."
