Immediately, two mystical lights emerged from within Sikong Che’s body. On closer inspection, they were a round bronze mirror and a golden ruler.
The surface of the bronze mirror was sealed with pitch-black lacquer, with intricate cloud patterns carved around its edges, while the ruler was entirely gilded and coiled with a five-clawed golden dragon.
Zhu Wujiang raised an eyebrow slightly, "This is..."
Buzz—
The golden ruler trembled, the five-clawed golden dragon swayed uncertainly, emitting dazzling divine light.
After being tainted by that golden light, a sudden feeling of emptiness rose within Zhu Wujiang’s heart, his inner power rapidly dissipating; in almost an instant, he fell from the Ultimate Venerable Realm and continued to weaken!
"That’s the Law of Balance!"
Just then, Chen Mo’s voice came from afar, reminding, "Hurry and leave the range covered by that golden light, or you’ll be affected by the rules he’s established!"
Zhu Wujiang clearly knew something was amiss, but his body wouldn’t obey, frozen like a statue in place.
As time passed, the golden light grew increasingly intense, gilding the clouds at the horizon with a golden glow.
As the last Ancient Emperor in the world, Sikong Che had comprehended the origin of the Law of Balance for millennia, formulating laws, restraining all people, with his control over the Power of Laws unmatched in the current age!
Even though his physical body was extremely weak at present, his Divine Soul remained intact, still able to utilize Origin Power, and with the suppression of the Eightfold Exorcism Array, the Demon Lord was momentarily powerless to contend with him!
...
...
Crack—
On the other side, Yu Youhan twisted the neck of the last Heavenly Shadow Guard effortlessly, tossing it aside, and the shadows enveloping her dispersed as well.
After seeing the scene before her, her gaze involuntarily sharpened.
Chen Mo flew over from the Golden Throne Hall, saying, "Empress, it seems the Demon Lord is in trouble over there..."
Yu Youhan nodded, "A centipede cannot die easily. Sikong Che is still the Emperor of Great Yuan, imbued with the nation’s fortune, coupled with the presence of the Law of Balance’s origin, making him quite troublesome, especially here in the Imperial City where he can almost alter the rules at will."
Chen Mo frowned, "What should we do now?"
Yu Youhan stroked her chin, saying, "In his current state, he can’t hold out for long. It would be convenient to let Zhu Wujiang exhaust some of his power first, making it easier to deal with later."
"But..." Chen Mo hesitated.
"What, worried about her?" Yu Youhan glanced at him, raising an eyebrow, "I’ve long noticed something off between you two. Zhu Wujiang couldn’t disregard past grievances without gaining some benefit for bringing me back to Jiu Zhou... Are you hiding something from me?"
"No, no, how could I." Chen Mo laughed nervously.
Seeing his guilty look, Yu Youhan roughly guessed something, snorting coldly and refraining from questioning further.
Despite feeling some blockage in her heart, there were pressing matters at hand. Setting aside her grievances with Zhu Wujiang, she wouldn’t let Sikong Che escape today no matter what!
"Since he can rewrite the rules of this world, the only solution is to erase the entire space, but in doing so, Zhu Wujiang would also be affected..."
"It doesn’t matter if that dragon dies, I’m just afraid Chen Mo would blame me..."
While Yu Youhan pondered, a figure flew toward them from not far away.
The person was slender, wrapped in a fur cloak, with a slightly pale face, and a sickly look between his brows.
"Wei Xuan?"
Chen Mo was momentarily surprised, "Why is he here?"
"Wei Xuan, you came just in time!" Sikong Che, seeing the newcomer, was immediately overjoyed, his tone urgent, "These people are attempting to rebel against Great Yuan, quickly, help me execute these traitors!"
Though he seemed to hold the upper hand, he was actually barely maintaining control over Zhu Wujiang by depleting his origin.
With Yu Youhan still watching like a hawk, continuing to stalemate would only disadvantage him. He had to let Wei Xuan handle it first, giving himself a chance to escape through the Heavenly Observation Mirror!
Wei Xuan, unconstrained by the limits of the golden light, walked through the air to Sikong Che’s side.
Looking at the hideous, bloody figure, he sighed softly, "How did you become like this, can’t you cherish others’ bodies a bit more?"
Sikong Che, sensing an ill omen, urged, "Wei Xuan, what do you mean by that? I order you, act immediately, kill Zhu Wujiang first..."
Before he finished, Wei Xuan chuckled, "Order me? At this point, it seems you haven’t recognized the situation yet."
Sikong Che’s face darkened, coldly saying, "Don’t forget, your life was given by me, otherwise you would have ended up like Prince Yu, with not even a bone left!"
"You not only took away my body, but also replaced my Cause and Effect, binding me with the nation’s fortune through the Dragon Soul, becoming the foundation of your regime, wishing to squeeze out my last bit of value, yet wanting me to thank you?"
"Rather than endure the daily pain of Divine Soul rejection, I’d rather end up like Prince Yu, it could be a kind of release."
"But fortunately, patience paid off and I finally awaited this day."
