Excessive ferocity due to caution

The power of the divine artifact is beyond doubt.

The four of them combined their strength and barely managed to block the divine weapon.

Of course, the most important reason is the Dream Butterfly Illusion.

Even so, the four of them felt immense pressure!

Fortunately, their mission was not to kill the three men immediately, but to stall them.

The dreamlike illusion will entangle people more and more deeply.

The further they go, the stronger the suppression will become for the three rulers of the Li family.

Their chances of winning will be much greater!

Zhao Yi had already explained the principles of the Dream Butterfly Formation to them. As long as they made good use of this formation, even if the opponent had a divine artifact, it was not impossible to kill them!

...

The two cloaked figures, separated by the Dream Butterfly Illusion, appeared deeper into the desolate forest.

They looked around at themselves with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Lord Xiao was right after all, X-0 has become troublesome."

"He must have awakened some memories. This kind of mysterious formation is a remarkable treasure, even within the church."

"It's alright."

The woman of Black Punishment spoke.

"My instruments of torture are burning hot; the person I'm looking for is not far away."

"With so many resources he's kept on hand, he's probably running out of ammunition and supplies."

"Take off his head and present it to Lord Jiao."

The two figures vanished into the black wind, and the terrifying power of the torture instruments began to manifest. Wherever the black wind passed, vegetation withered and decayed, and birds, beasts, and insects were instantly reduced to blood and gore...

Wherever the two passed, there was not a single living creature left!

Until the distant open space at the foot of the mountain, where a vast expanse of green fields stretched out.

A familiar figure stood there.

It was Zhao Yi.

There were only a few scattered people nearby.

The Goddess of Black Punishment's thoughts spread out, and many people stood in the distance, their positions seemingly carefully chosen.

"This is the last time you will use the formation."

She spoke softly.

The sound that escaped from the lips slit by the torture instruments reverberated throughout this small world!

Zhao Yi slowly opened his arms, his tone carrying a morbid joy:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"My legs were weak and my hands were shaking from waiting."

"Every cell in my body is trembling."

"I rarely have such high expectations of anyone, so you guys really surprised me this time."

The two women took a step and were standing not far from Zhao Yi, their expressions cold and aloof.

Their cloaks and black robes fluttered in the wind.

The menacing instruments of torture on his body were faintly visible.

The two were completely transformed.

The instruments of torture used against the flesh were no longer just wood and chains, but some unknown stone material.

Starlight fell upon it, shimmering with an eerie glow.

"Your growth is indeed very rapid, even making the church uneasy."

"But often, those with exceptional talent die in the cradle."

"You will too."

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"If that's the case, I don't mind."

"I chose this path myself."

I accept all the consequences.

Dark Howl's gaze was icy, and an aura that seemed to surpass even the Dominator was spreading from his body.

She is at the peak of the Domination realm.

Unlike ordinary rulers.

Even if they met head-on, Feng Nan might not be able to defeat her.

"So, are you ready to die?"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"There's one last formation left."

"His name is Tianhong."

"This formation will grant me temporary dominion power."

"Shall we... practice?"

The Black-Clad Woman also took a step forward:

"Make your move, and let you understand before you die what an insurmountable chasm truly means!"

"In the face of true strength, any fancy tricks are useless!"

hum-

A crisp sound.

A Tang sword appeared in Zhao Yi's hand.

It is indeed Taotie.

Red light appeared from all directions.

Countless torrents of power converged on Zhao Yi.

From the distant mountains and forests.

From every single person in the Jie Sect.

Little by little, they converge into streams, and then into rivers.

Zhao Yi's aura grew increasingly powerful.

His gaze grew increasingly sharp.

Ultimately, he gathered the power of all the members of the Jie Sect, broke through the Great Ferocity Realm, and reached the Dominator Realm.

If Zhao Yi fails with this tactic, everyone in the Jie Sect will die!

But Wu Liang, Yun Fang, Su Qingyao, Chris... and none of the assassins from the Jie Sect were afraid.

They possessed only a fighting spirit as sharp as a sword!

"it's useless."

The woman of Black Punishment slowly raised her chin.

"Without truly transcending the rules, merely relying on external forces to break through is not even as good as an ordinary ruler."

"You're too weak."

Zhao Yi adjusted to the power within his body, his eyes bloodshot:

"Domination? Rules?"

"That's hilarious..."

His smile sent a chill down the spines of the two women for no apparent reason!

"Who told you I was going to fight using the rules of the Dominator?"

"Have you heard of... Elai?"

As Zhao Yi finished speaking, another terrifying aura emanated from every pore of his body...

It is secret.

It is an ominous sign.

It is evil that wants to destroy all that is beautiful.

Black viscous fluid slowly dripped from Zhao Yi's body.

Strange tattoos appeared on his face.

"Evil Lai..."

An Zhi whimpered and muttered something under his breath, his expression somewhat grave.

Oops!

She flicked her finger, and a tidal wave of power of law condensed at her fingertip, transforming into destructive ripples that surged forth!

This flick of the finger is enough to severely injure an ordinary, formidable foe!

Pfft!

Zhao Yi took the blow with his bare hands, and both of his arms were almost severed!

But he persevered in the end!

A mysterious curse enveloped the Dark Wail.

Zhao Yi's bloodline skill was triggered.

【Red Dress - Repaying Kindness】

【Red Robe - Separation】

"That's impressive."

Zhao Yi exclaimed sincerely.

The severed arms were quickly fused together under the repair of the black slime.

All the laws and divine powers mentioned above were completely corroded by the black slime!

Upon seeing this, the two women's expressions finally became much more serious!

Their divine laws could not restrict Zhao Yi's regeneration!

"That strange power seems to come from... him."

The woman of Black Punishment squinted, recalling ancient historical records.

"Who?"

An murmured, her brow furrowed.

"The person who toppled the Tower of Prisoners."

"..."

"The situation has changed. Kill him quickly, lest things get complicated!"

The two women attacked together, unleashing a dense power of suffering that transformed into various forms of terror, enveloping the area!

Within the instruments of torture lies an immense, overwhelming third-party power, seemingly descending from the heavens to utterly annihilate this place into chaos!

That is neither the power of rules nor the power of domination.

Rather, it is pure evil god power.

This power has almost no corresponding attributes, making it impossible to target or counter.

In this furnace formed by the power of suffering, Zhao Yi's body continued to melt away!

The two women wanted to refine him!

boom!

Zhao Yi unleashed a punch, stirring up a large amount of ominous energy.

This terrifying punch failed to destroy the furnace.

But it left marks on it.

"not enough……"

Despite the continuous melting of Zhao Yi's body, his eyes remained remarkably calm.

The Taotie, tightly gripped in his hand, let out a roar that seemed to come from the other side of the ancient river of time.

The originally slender Tang sword is undergoing a strange transformation.

Scales gradually grew on the hilt of the knife.

And the sharp blade began to bend.

The blade became long and large.

Scales continue to grow on the back of the blade, all the way to the sharp tip.

A pair of eyes gleaming with black flames were carved in a perfectly placed position within the pattern.

Driven by... extreme hunger and madness!

P.S.: Second update.

I'll wait a few more days until I can see a doctor on the 16th. The scans came back today; there are nodules in my lungs, which may have some aftereffects. There's probably still some inflammation, but if I just wait a few more days, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Go get some medicine later.

Goodnight, my darlings!
