Sky Curtain: An Initial Overview of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Mortal World

On the vast screen of light, scrolls surged, as if pouring out the fierce battle that had been sealed in the long river of time before the eyes of all living beings in the myriad realms.

The atmosphere in the scene was extremely tense. Facing the terrifying being known as "Great God," who seemed to overlook everything like a creator, Hei Zhu showed no despair. The camera zoomed in on her eyes, revealing only a calm and calculating gaze as deep as a still pool.

Faced with a powerful being akin to a creator, Hei Zhu calmly analyzed the situation and, seizing the opportunity while Hu Shen and his companion were off guard, extracted thirty percent of Hu Shen's magical power.

In that instant, the woman within the light screen moved. It was a speed that even surpassed the speed of thought; the laws flowed from her fingertips, forcibly drawing vast magical power from the body of that high and mighty god. Immediately afterward, she waved her hand, activating a divine power called "Supreme Wind," and the invisible power of rules instantly sealed the divine bodies of the great god and the spirit.

This counterattack was swift as a startled bird, and the entire Thousand Machines Pavilion and Penglai Immortal Island instantly fell into a strange state of "clarity"—an absolute chaos after time, space and causality were disrupted.

OVERLORD world.

Ainz Ooal Gown, seated on the throne in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, had a fierce red light flashing in his eyes, and his skeletal fingers unconsciously tapped the armrests, making a crisp clicking sound.

"What brilliant intelligence gathering and weakness targeting!" Ainz's voice was filled with undisguised admiration and vigilance. "Faced with a world-class boss far exceeding your own level, instead of blindly fleeing, you took advantage of the opponent's momentary lapse in attention to execute 'Mana Drain' and 'Skill Seal.' Demiurge, if you were here, how would you rate that move?"

Demiurge, standing below the steps, adjusted his glasses, a pleased yet cruel smile spreading across his face: "Lord Ainz, this lady clearly understands the essence of 'overthrowing superiors.' That guy called 'Ookami' is far too arrogant, just like those self-important human adventurers. That slap was certainly resounding."

However, the battle situation within the light screen changed rapidly.

Driven to the brink of despair, Tiger God roared in fury. As a top-tier expert, his counterattack was equally resolute. He didn't hesitate to sacrifice his own severely damaged primordial spirit to forcibly activate a great divine power, completely sealing time within the magic treasure "One Inch Family".

[This attack directly forced the Tiger God to sacrifice his severely damaged primordial spirit to suppress even a fraction of time within his home. Its power was immense, instantly killing 14 powerful cultivators.]

A world where mortals cultivate to become immortals.

Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in his cave, suddenly opened them, his gaze fixed on the frozen moment on the light screen. At that moment, there was no explosion of flying flesh and blood, only the silent withering of life.

"Using severe damage to one's primordial spirit to achieve absolute time freeze... what a ruthless tactic." Han Li frowned, a sense of unease creeping into him at the thought of such a massive battle where self-sacrifice and the impact on fellow cultivators were commonplace. "Those fourteen powerful cultivators didn't even have time to scream before they perished. Is this the game of high-level cultivators? One wrong step and it's utter destruction. It seems I need to be much more cautious in the future, and prepare at least ten escape routes."

Despite paying a heavy price of fourteen powerful individuals, Hei Zhu found a glimmer of hope in the cracks of time.

Even so, Hei Zhu still managed to protect himself and escape, saving his life.

The scene shifts, and the battleground moves from the enclosed Yicun Clan to the vast outside world. However, the situation does not improve. The ally named Baili Yuan's hidden identity as a mage is finally exposed, attracting an even more terrifying encirclement and attack.

Black Bamboo stood tall in the sky, her once beautiful face now revealing a moving resolve. Without any hesitation, she used her own Dharma body as a medium, through some profound secret technique, to guide the members of the Nine Realms Sect behind her to collectively overdraw their Dharma bodies.

[Using 109000 realm runes and 590 realm treasures as a link, and at the cost of several years of his own lifespan, he unleashed the Great Nine Realms Outer Manifestation.]

A flurry of talismans erupted, and hundreds of dazzling magical treasures shattered with a deafening roar. At this moment, what Black Bamboo was burning was not merely treasures, but also her own life force.

This technique's attack range extends 5000 li (approximately 2,500 kilometers). Its vast scope and powerful impact posed a near-fatal threat to the heavily injured Penglai forces.

Rumbling--

Within the light screen, the five thousand miles of heaven and earth seemed to be wiped away by an invisible giant hand. It was pure destructive power, which even forced Zhou Liuqin, a powerful figure from Penglai, to unleash her trump card, the "Three Treasures Myriad Laws Sword," to barely neutralize it.

Bless the world with our blessings.

On the plains of Axel, Megumin, a Crimson Demon girl who was wiping her wand, pressed herself against the huge illusory light screen, her eyes shining with an unprecedented fervor, and even her breathing became rapid.

"This is...this is the ultimate explosive magic I've been dreaming of!!" Megumin waved her arms excitedly, her black cloak fluttering wildly. "Five thousand miles! A full five thousand miles of attack range! This artistic destructive power, this instantaneous output gained by burning one's life! It's so beautiful! Even if I can only use it once a day...no, even if I can only use it once in my lifetime, it's worth it! Hey, Kazuma, let's go learn that 'Great Nine Realms Outer Manifestation' too!"

Dizzy and disoriented from the shattering light, Sato Kazuma stared blankly at Megumin, delivering a merciless chop to her head: "Idiot! Didn't you see the description? That's burning lifespan! Lifespan! If you used that, forget about becoming an explosive mage, you'd probably be meeting Eris right away! And it's not just life-threatening, it's expensive too! Five hundred and ninety world treasures—even if we sold them ten thousand times, we still wouldn't have enough to cover the difference!"

The world of Battle Through the Heavens.

Within the endless fiery domain, Emperor Yan Xiao Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the extremely dazzling destructive storm, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Although the power systems are different, this destructive force does have a hint of the fusion of different flames." Xiao Yan gently rubbed the storage ring on his finger, a slight smile playing on his lips. "However, this kind of combined attack technique formed by relying on external arrays is ultimately not as satisfying as one's own power. If it were my Buddha's Fury Lotus, perhaps I could have blown this five thousand miles apart with a little bit of pushing and pulling. But this woman's courage is quite impressive; to be able to organize a counterattack of this scale in a desperate situation makes her a formidable opponent."

The battle situation changed dramatically once again.

Baili Yuan was being hunted down by a formidable enemy named Hao Guang and was on the verge of death. At this critical moment, Hei Zhu felt an invincible will descend upon him.

[When Baili Yuan was being pursued by Hao Guang and Bing was on the verge of death, Hei Zhu was invaded by Baili Yuan's Wuwo Dharma Form.]

All the viewers assumed this would be a possession for survival. After all, in the cultivation world, it's common for a fellow cultivator to die rather than one's own.

However, something unexpected happened.

However, Baili Yuan did not take the two for himself. Instead, he teleported them and the hand bone to Huang's side, where they witnessed Shi Guagua's innate divine power awaken and successfully open the Fruit of Cause and Effect.

Instead of consuming the black bamboo to prolong his life, Baili Yuan used his last strength to teleport her and the crucial "hand bone" to the side of a character named "Huang". And at this juncture of cause and effect, the being named Shi Guagua finally awakened.

The Naruto world.

In the dark underground base, Itachi Uchiha leaned back on a stone chair, his Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotating, reflecting the final resolute look of Baili Yuan on the light screen.

"The formless Dharma, huh... It's not about taking, but about entrusting." Itachi's voice was low and hoarse, as if he saw a familiar shadow. "In this life-or-death battlefield, there are still people willing to sacrifice themselves to prolong hope. It seems that the will to 'protect' is universal, no matter the world. Sasuke, if you could see this too..."

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village not far away, Naruto, who was eating Ichiraku Ramen, took a big slurp of noodles and shouted indistinctly, "Even though I don't understand those complicated spells, this guy is so cool! He's much better than those guys who always talk about 'for the village' but are actually plotting behind people's backs! He's doing this so his comrades can live, right? He definitely is! That old woman named Kurotake may look fierce usually, but she owes us a huge favor now!"

After Baili Yuan's death and Huang Fenmo's reappearance, Hei Zhu once again joined forces with Huang.

In the scene, the figure emerging from the ruins and smoke—Huang—became the new core. Hei Zhu, who had just escaped death, did not choose to flee, but instead stood beside Huang once again.

This time, she brought her innate supernatural power to its fullest potential.

[Black Bamboo uses the Heavenly Bead Mantra to strengthen your Tribulation Transcending Stage, redirecting his attack to Manyo, thus provoking Manyo's attack.]

The World of The King's Avatar.

Inside Happy Internet Cafe, Ye Xiu, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, rapidly tapped his fingers on the table, as if simulating a keyboard battle.

"Interesting." Ye Xiu's lazy gaze suddenly sharpened. "What's this teamwork called? It's called forcibly causing OT (aggro loss) by exploiting the rules. By strengthening the teammate's Tribulation Transcending state through 'Word of Power,' the system's judgment difficulty is forcibly increased, and then the BOSS's aggro is transferred to another enemy through some mechanism. This is a typical 'shifting the blame.' If Glory had this kind of skill, it would be too dirty when fighting for wild map BOSSes. This Black Bamboo lady, if you played the Tactical Master, you'd probably be a heartbreaker too."

Wei Chen, who was peeling sunflower seeds next to him, grinned lewdly: "Hey, this isn't just dirty, it's a textbook example of 'using someone else to do the dirty work.' He doesn't lift a finger, but lets the heavenly tribulation strike down that unlucky guy named Wan Ye. I love this tactic! But doing this, I'm afraid the system's backlash won't be light, right?"

As Wei Chen said, such behavior of mocking the laws of nature must come at a price.

The scene became incredibly gruesome. Heavenly punishment descended; the tribulation lightning originally intended for Xiang Yu was forcibly distorted by Hei Zhu's words of power, altering the causal lines.

[In the desolate wilderness, life and death retreated; the seeker of the Dharma demanded erasure, and the black bamboo perished.]

When the final karmic backlash struck, the woman who had dominated the Nine Realms Gate for a century, her scheming unparalleled, ultimately failed to create any more miracles. Under the dual attack of her enemy's erasure methods and the backlash from heaven and earth, her body gradually turned into ashes, leaving only a final smile that seemed to carry both mockery and relief.

Assassin Seven World.

At the entrance of Da Bao J Hair Salon, Wu Liuqi stood with a pair of scissors in his hand, not yet finished cutting, staring blankly at the screen with his mouth agape, not even noticing the steaming hot beef offal in his hand fall to the ground.

"Wow... she's dead already?" Wu Liuqi scratched his messy hair, a strange sadness in his voice. "Although this old lady was very cunning, and that 'words become law' ability was really cool, saying whatever she wanted meant it. But that last move... how should I put it, although it was cool, she sacrificed herself to cover for that bastard named Huang. This kind of death would at least rank in the top ten of the assassin rankings, moving China... no, moving all the heavens, right?"

The chicken, now a blue chick, took a deep drag on his cigar, his sunglasses reflecting the light. "Seven, you don't understand. This is the world of martial arts. In the world of martial arts, you are not in control of your own destiny. She has calculated everything she could. This last move, though dirty, saved the one with more hope. That's the awareness of a master, although it's still a bit inferior to my 'Ultimate Overlord Chicken'."

The world of Death Note.

Light Yagami sat in the room filled with monitor screens, his pen hovering over his notebook. His sharp eyes were fixed on the spot where the black bamboo had disappeared.

"Using the rules of language to rewrite reality, and even using these rules to interfere with higher laws like 'transcending tribulation'..." A cold smile curled at the corner of Yagami Light's lips, but a hint of approval shone deep in his eyes. "Although her method of death was foolish, her use of the rules was impressive. Compared to the aesthetically unappealing slaughter of Shinigami, this ability to manipulate powerful enemies with words, even controlling the flow of death... Hmph, if this person named Kurotake possessed the Notebook, he might become an even more troublesome opponent than L."

One Piece world.

Trafalgar Law was leaning against Bepo's soft belly, his hat brim, which had been pulled down low, slightly lifted.

"Using spatial teleportation to transfer vital items, and then using incantations to transfer fatal damage..." A hint of admiration for fellow tacticians flickered in Luo's eyes. "This fighting style is less like head-on combat and more like precise surgery. Every step serves the ultimate goal, even if that goal is death. The instant the attack was transferred to 'Manyo' was as precise as my 'ROOM: Slaughterhouse.' The Nine Realms Gate... It seems there are also formidable 'doctors' on that vast sea."

Hunter x Hunter world.

Inside the Phantom Troupe's temporary base, Chrollo Lucifer closed the "Thief's Ultimate" manual in his hand. He watched silently as the light screen gradually dimmed, the cross tattoo on his forehead appearing and disappearing in the shadows.

"Using the Dharma Body as a medium, lifespan as the price, and death as the final end, this scheme is completed," Kuroro said calmly, his tone devoid of any emotion, yet sending a chill down one's spine. "This extreme exchange of interests is truly pure. Black Bamboo Yao... if only I had the chance to steal the power of this 'Heavenly Bead Mantra.' Although it has many limitations, in certain situations, it could increase the entire Phantom Troupe's survival rate several times over. As for death... for people like us, it's just part of the journey."

The light curtain slowly dimmed, marking the end of Hei Zhu's life. From the breathtaking moment when the lid was opened, to the meticulously planned stratagem, and finally to her self-sacrificing attack, this great master of the Nine Realms Gate etched her last words of truth into the hearts of the audience across countless realms in the most tragic way.
