Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 301: Clash of Rules, Twisted World

"What a lifeless world! The evil Ancient Sword Leopard has taken countless lives," said Ergui Peng indignantly.

Lu Li didn't reply, but instead turned his attention to the natural bird beside him.

Natural Bird possesses King-level strength, and when it first encountered the Abandoned Monkey, it was likely that Natural Bird was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Lu Li asked, "Natural Bird, why are you only coming to find me now?"

"It was no use contacting you before."

The clear, cold voice of the natural bird echoed in Lu Li's mind.

Land from:"……"

"Is it because it sensed the Calamity?" Lu Li asked thoughtfully.

Lu Li continued, "Then... Natural Bird, how can you be sure Freya is still alive?"

Lu Li wanted to know if there were any other entities behind the Natural Bird.

“My daughter is still alive,” the natural bird replied.

"Daughter?" Lu Li looked at the natural bird with a puzzled expression.

Meeting Lu Li's questioning gaze, Natural Bird explained, "It means exactly what it says. My daughter is Freya's original spirit."

"Oh." Lu Li suddenly realized.

Lu Li continued, "Can you sense where your daughter is?"

"Please follow me," the natural bird said, and then led the way.

Due to the influence of the divine beast's aura, Nargacuga will have difficulty using Instant Transmission. To be precise, under these circumstances, it will be difficult for Nargacuga to use any skill.

Fortunately, Freya was not far from the exit of the secret realm. Lu Li guessed that Freya probably wanted to escape the secret realm after discovering the Ancient Sword Leopard.

Unfortunately, Freya's luck and speed were no match for the Ancient Sword Leopard. After the entrance to the secret realm was frozen, Freya could only hide near the exit of the secret realm and eke out a living.

Led by the natural bird, they finally found Freya.

Freya looked extremely disheveled due to her long-term residence in the wild, even though she was wearing a wilderness suit.

But both the clothes and pants were tattered and torn, which suggests that these might be the last clothes this unfortunate child had.

Fortunately, the other party was a Champion-level trainer with extraordinary physical abilities; otherwise, they might have frozen to death before they even arrived.

Freya's eyes were filled with excitement when she saw Lu Li.

"Humans? Has the exit of the secret realm been opened?" Freya asked impatiently.

Lu Li nodded: "It's been connected. You can go out now."

Once Freya is brought out of the secret realm, the mission will be considered complete.

"Let's leave quickly, before that terrifying being senses us," Freya urged.

Having witnessed Freya transform the entire secret realm into a world of ice and snow, all she wants now is to escape this terrifying place as quickly as possible.

"late."

Ergui Peng, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up to interrupt.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's expression changed, and even the usually emotionless Tianran Niao revealed fear in his eyes.

"What's so late?" Freya asked, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Lu Li said, "Gu Jianbao has arrived. He must have sensed our presence."

"what?"

Freya's expression changed, her eyes filled with terror.

A devastated Freya cried out pessimistically, "What do we do? We're doomed!"

Lu Li said to the Natural Bird, "You all hurry out, I'm going to fight the Ancient Sword Leopard."

The natural bird nodded. It knew that both it and Freya were a burden, and the most correct and rational thing to do at this time was to leave this secret realm as soon as possible.

Seeing Lu Li preparing to leave, Freya anxiously shouted, "Wait! Aren't you coming with us?"

"You guys go first, I'll hold off Gu Jianbao," Lu Li said, shaking his head.

Freya looked at Lu Li's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.

Are there really such kind-hearted people in this world? They're actually willing to sacrifice themselves to buy him time to escape.

Freya couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Natural Bird, could this child be controlled by you through hypnosis?"

Natural Bird: "..."

“I didn’t,” the natural bird retorted expressionlessly.

Freya asked in confusion, "Then why did she...?"

The natural bird explained, "That sir is a divine messenger, and the green humanoid spirit accompanying him is a deity."

"what!"

Freya gasped, then asked incredulously, "You just said that green humanoid elf was a god?"

Natural Bird nodded.

"Damn it! This must have been the closest I've ever come to God in my life, right? How could I not have noticed?" Freya wanted to slap herself, she regretted it so much.

Freya couldn't help but complain, "Natural bird, why didn't you remind me sooner?"

The speechless bird urged, "This is not the time to talk about this. We need to get out of here quickly."

What time is it now? You're really not afraid of death! You're still thinking about contacting mythical beasts.

The ancient sword leopard, which was riding a rolling avalanche, looked curiously at the human and the elf in front of it.

“Egui Peng?” the ancient sword leopard asked in a human language he wasn’t very fluent in.

Egui Peng summoned the Thorn Vine Staff, then roared righteously, "Ancient Sword Leopard! You are too brutal, you must be sealed away."

Gu Jianbao: "???"

Are all the new gods this arrogant these days?
Gu Jianbao was speechless. He had only caused trouble in a secret realm, so why was this newly formed colleague so eager to kill him?
Gu Jianbao sneered and questioned, "What a laughable and hypocritical sense of justice! I am the god of calamity, and it is my duty to bring disaster to all things in the world. On what grounds do you say I am too cruel?"

If it were a human, the Ancient Sword Leopard would definitely have attacked immediately, because humans are not worthy of hearing its self-justification.

From a grand global perspective, the calamities brought by the Ancient Sword Leopard are simply a part of the world's rules.

As for the humans and elves who died in the disaster? That's not really important to the world.

"Hmph! You evil scoundrel, accept the punishment of justice." Ergui Peng didn't want to argue with Gu Jianbao any longer.

Without Lu Li's command, E Guipeng charged towards Gu Jianbao with his thorny vine club.

"How brave!"

Gu Jianbao was also enraged by E Guipeng's disregard.

You think you can just start a fight over nothing? Do you really think Leopard has no temper?
Frozen wind!

The frigid white storm swept towards the Evil Spirit.

"Hmph! Solar Beam!"

The tip of the thorny vine club emitted a dazzling light, as if a beam of light capable of melting everything instantly pierced through the frigid storm.

Although there is no sunlight in the secret realm, the Evil Spirit had absorbed a lot of sunlight energy when it entered, so the power of the sunlight beams was not weakened much.

Ancient Sword Leopard hates anything that is too hot.

"Roar!"

The Ancient Sword Leopard's length instantly increased to 70 meters, and it took a deep breath as it opened its blood-red maw.

A black orb of light condensed in the mouth of the Ancient Sword Leopard. Even though the move had not been fully unleashed, Lu Li could still feel the incredibly terrifying aura of destruction emanating from it.

It's a destructive death ray.

His expression changed, and Lu Li hurriedly shouted, "Egui Peng, quickly use Guard!"

Such a powerful destructive ray would absolutely annihilate everything if the Evil Spirit didn't defend against it. Lu Li didn't know where Freya and the others were, but if he didn't defend against this attack, Freya and the others would definitely die under the Ancient Sword Leopard's destructive ray.

Upon receiving the order, the Egui Pong erected a defensive barrier.

"Boom!"

A terrifying beam of light burst forth and then crashed heavily into the transparent protective shield that had been formed.

"Click~"

The protective cover emits a sound that only occurs when glass shatters.

Just as Lu Li was considering whether to use the Mysterious Guardian again, the terrifying destructive light finally dissipated.

Seeing this, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"To actually listen to a human's commands." A hint of disdain flashed in the ancient sword leopard's fierce eyes.

Without hesitation, Gu Jianbao launched a pursuit.

Misfortunes never come singly + Frozen Teeth + Spirit Teeth.

Gu Jianbao's combos were exceptionally smooth, without any pauses or charging.

"Ominous and treacherous, spiked defense!"

Whether it's Misfortune Comes in Pairs, Frozen Fang, or Spirit Fang, all three moves are contact skills.

Fortunately, there are at least some Pokémon that can learn Spike Defense.

Lu Li didn't know what it felt like to eat raw, spiky sea urchin alone, but he knew it must be extremely unpleasant.

Just like the ancient sword leopard in front of us.

Gu Jianbao, who had failed to break through Lu Li's defenses with his combo and even suffered a backlash from his own mouth, glared at Lu Li resentfully.

"That damned man!" Gu Jianbao thought to himself with deep resentment.

If it weren't for this human's haphazard instructions, the Evil Spirit would never have thought of using spikes for defense.

"Thorn vine club!"

Adhering to the life motto of "beating a drowning dog," Lu Li chose to press his advantage.

"I'll hold the line too!"

Gu Jianbao quickly went into defense.

Knowing that humans were helping them, the Ancient Sword Leopard, whose position was disadvantageous in this battle, shouted, "As a god, what kind of skill is it to use techniques? Let's compete in the power of rules! That's the way a god should fight!"

Hearing this, Lu Li asked in confusion, "What is the fighting style of gods?"

Ergui Peng did not answer directly, but sighed regretfully, "You'll find out soon enough. It's just a pity about this secret realm and the creatures inside."

"In the upcoming battle, I can only look after you. I hope your friends have already left," Ergui Peng sighed softly.

Hearing this, Lu Li became even more nervous.

The way gods fight...

Lu Li stared intently at the ancient sword leopard.

At this moment, the Ancient Sword Leopard has returned to its original size.

In his inner world, Talebages sighed with an air of maturity, "These young people these days are really passionate and love to stir things up."

"It's fortunate that this isn't in the real world; these young gods are too prone to causing trouble." Groudon nodded in deep agreement.

Normally, even in battles between mythical beasts, the two sides usually clash with their skills. Such battles generally only affect the opponent's body, causing them pain.

But the clash between rules is different; it's more like a battle between hackers, where it's a contest of who has more profound control over the power of the rules.

…………

The laws of evil and ice converged, and the Ancient Sword Leopard launched its attack, wielding calamity as its blade and avalanches as its sword.

Seeing this, Ergui Peng also became serious and gripped the thorny vine club in his hand tightly.

The laws of grass and water converged, and the Egui Peng used a thousand faces as a shield and thorns as a forest to color the entire world in its own shape.

The world has changed.

Lu Li felt that he might have transmigrated again, arriving in a Cthulhu-themed world.

The sky is made up of masks, and the earth is covered with countless thorns, which even continue to seep into and entangle the masks.

On the other hand, things were much simpler for Gu Jianbao. The avalanche caused by the disaster was like a wall, constantly advancing towards him.

Do not!
Lu Li felt as if it were an avalanche formed by black snow all around.

At that moment, he felt as if he were locked in a dark, secret room, with an indescribable sense of oppression and an ominous atmosphere permeating the entire space.

At this moment, the entire world and the entire universe are a narrow room, filled with countless thorns trying to get through the walls, and strange masks.

It's not a move, much less a skill.

Rather, it is a manifestation of pure rules.

"Lu Li, I need your help."

Suddenly, Egui Peng's voice rang out. In fact, Lu Li could no longer see Egui Peng at this moment, nor could he even sense his presence.

But it also felt as if the other party was everywhere.

Those masks all seemed to be grotesque and monstrous.

Without hesitation, Lu Li grabbed a thorn that seemed to have sprung up from nowhere with one hand, and covered a mask tightly with the other.

Even as thorns pierced his palms and the mask became part of his arm, Lu Li did not back down.

Golden spiritual energy, tinged with starlight, flowed into the thorns and the mask.

Compared to the entire world, the spiritual power within Lu Li's body seemed insignificant.

But like a glimmer of light in the endless darkness, golden threads flowed through the thorns, and golden, shimmering marks appeared on the mask.

In this ominous and calamistic world, a new color has been born.

The thorns began to expand relentlessly, and the endless black snow was covered and then assimilated by the mask.

At the same time, Lu Li heard that familiar sound again, the sound of glass shattering.

"Roar!"

The ancient sword leopard let out an angry and unwilling roar, and the black snow was melting away faster and faster.

Eventually, the entire secret realm transformed into a world composed of countless masks, which then began to shrink continuously.

In the world of masks, the ancient sword leopard struggles incessantly, wanting to escape its constraints and shatter those unsettling masks.

But it was all in vain, and the space left for him was getting smaller and smaller.

When Lu Li came to his senses, the earth and sky had disappeared, replaced by endless nothingness, and—a small square box with a mask on each side.

“It’s over.” Egui Peng let out a heavy sigh.

Lu Li looked at E Guipeng in confusion: "Where are we...?"

Egui Pong replied, "In the void, or in nothingness."

"We need to get out of here quickly, or some big shot will come looking for trouble," Ergui Peng urged.

"How do I leave?" Lu Li asked, bewildered.

"Take this first." Egui Peng handed the six-sided box to Lu Li, and then took out the thorny vine club.

The thorny vine gently touched the void, and a black dot continued to expand until a secret realm entrance appeared in the void.

"Let's go."

Egui Peng quickly pulled Lu Li and jumped into the entrance of the secret realm.
