348: Is there no justice left?!

"How is this possible!"

Li Daoxuan was terrified to the core, a sense of absurdity washing over his entire body.

Previously, he had been able to maintain a superior posture, even daring to look down on Lu Ming despite his Dao injuries.

His greatest reliance and confidence was this Power of the Law that could only be touched at Golden Core Perfection!

In his understanding, the Law was a celestial chasm that divided the levels of the Golden Core.

Possessing a Law meant one had begun to touch the surface of the world's rules.

One's strength was no longer limited to mana or Spells; it was a grand power that could truly mobilize the power of heaven and earth, nearing the 'Dao'!

Simply put, only a Law could counter a Law!

Ordinary Cultivators were helpless before a Law, left to be slaughtered at will!

This was his strongest confidence, and the fundamental reason why he believed that even if he was injured, he could crush any Cultivator below the Late Stage of the Golden Core.

But now, this absurd scene before him shattered the very understanding he relied upon!

A mere Mid-stage Golden Core not only possessed a Law, but looking at the embryonic form of the Domain he had deployed, it was clearly not some shallow or crude Law!

Its quality even made his Thick Earth Law, which he had cultivated for hundreds of years, feel an instinctive dread and repulsion!

Is there any justice left? Is there any Law! Someone, come and do something about this!

Li Daoxuan's heart was roaring; his worldview had suffered an unprecedented shock.

But no matter how frantic he was inside, the cruel reality lay right before his eyes.

Moreover, he keenly realized that he absolutely could not let the other party's Law Domain continue to expand so recklessly!

Once completely enveloped by this eerie Domain, his connection with heaven and earth would be cut off, and his greatest advantage would vanish!

At that time, given his severe Dao injuries and low state, the situation would be irreversible, and his life might truly be in danger!

"Rise for me!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Li Daoxuan suppressed all his emotions, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly pushed his hands upward, and the Power of the Law of Thick Earth around him poured out without reservation, resonating violently with the ground below.

Buzz—

A heavy yellow light bloomed from beneath his feet, temporarily withstanding the erosion of the Xuan Ming Death Domain, and even pushing the grey boundaries back a few inches!

However, it wasn't over yet.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, as if a pulse were beating, the earth first collapsed downward violently, then rapidly bulged upward, rising quickly as countless soil and stones began to gather at an irrational speed.

In the blink of an eye, three towering divine mountains, hundreds of zhang high, shimmering with heavy Immortal Light and clear mountain veins, rose from the ground in a triangular formation.

Then, with an overwhelming Aura that suppressed everything, they crushed down fiercely toward the central Xuan Ming Death Domain!

This was no longer in the realm of Spells; they had been endowed with the "True Form of Mountains" by the Power of the Law.

Each divine mountain weighed more than billions of jun, as heavy as a planetary core or a heavenly pillar.

The moment they appeared, the surrounding space groaned under the unbearable weight.

Ordinary Cultivators would be injured by a mere brush and killed by a touch; even someone as strong as a Golden Core True Person could be crushed into meat paste if hit squarely by this attack, no matter how strong their physical body.

But facing this overwhelming suppression, Lu Ming's eyes were sharp, and there was no fear in his heart.

He did not release the billions of souls from the banner to fight as he usually did; this time, he intended to take the field personally.

Lu Ming also needed this hearty battle to familiarize himself with this transformed Magic Treasure.

After all, he was determined to take Li Daoxuan down this time, so he would certainly not waste his soul.

Once Li Daoxuan was incorporated into the human emperor banner to become a Banner Spirit, this Magic Treasure would surely undergo another qualitative leap, and continued growth was inevitable.

Since he couldn't stop it, he might as well choose to enjoy it!

Even if there were any hidden dangers, that would be a matter for the future.

For now, it was better to take the benefits first!

Clearing his thoughts, Lu Ming took a deep breath, gripped the pole of the human emperor banner with both hands, and slowly raised it.

"Buzz!!"

On the banner's surface, the deep vortex in the center suddenly accelerated its rotation, and countless floating soul shadows let out silent roars. Endless Yin-shattering Death Qi intertwined with that wisp of Xuanming Law Origin, flowing along the banner pole into Lu Ming's body.

At this moment, he completely released his suppression of the Magic Treasure and actively accepted all its power. When their wills merged instantly, the Qi of the billions of soul spirits within the banner stacked layer upon layer, all converging upon him!

"Kill!"

The Aura around him surged like a vast ocean, his robes fluttering and snapping without wind.

Lu Ming let out a low growl, and holding the human emperor banner high, he slashed it fiercely toward the massive phantom of the divine mountain!

"Rip!!!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a strange sound of the heavens and earth being torn apart echoing out.

A grey-white banner light, thin as a thread yet condensed to the extreme, carrying the power of the end that annihilates all things, shot out from the tip of the banner!

Wherever it passed, space left behind a grey and defeated trace that did not dissipate for a long time.

Light along the path was completely swallowed, and even time seemed to become viscous beside that trajectory!

This was the full-force strike Lu Ming condensed by borrowing the Xuanming Law through the human emperor banner!

Although he wasn't using it directly and was only borrowing the Law through the human emperor banner, it still exerted an incredibly terrifying and extreme power!

The grey-white banner light silently sliced through space and passed across the body of the first divine mountain.

There was no sound of a violent collision, but that majestic momentum, carrying billions of jun of gravity and suppressing with the force of a thunderbolt, actually seemed to have crashed into an invisible quagmire, suddenly becoming sluggish, as if the entire mountain had been slowed down a thousandfold.

Immediately after, a scene that made Li Daoxuan's scalp tingle appeared.

At the spot hit by the grey-white banner light, a greyish, deathly pale color, like the most terrifying plague, spread rapidly along the phantom of the divine mountain!

The parts that were tainted—the originally shimmering, heavy, and solid Earth Law structures—quickly lost their luster and began to grow dim.

Then, they silently disintegrated and dissipated, turning into spiritless dust and finally returning to nothingness!

The entire divine mountain seemed to have been forcibly "returned to its original form," stripped of the "form" and "spirit" endowed by the Law, and returned to the most primitive "nothingness"!

"This... how is this possible!"

Li Daoxuan was shaken to the core; everything happening before him was somewhat beyond his scope of understanding.

He hurriedly activated the Power of the Law, attempting to stabilize the phantom of the divine mountain that was being eroded and disperse that eerie greyish erosion.

But the disgusting nature of the Xuanming Law far exceeded his imagination.

The speed of the greyish spread was startlingly fast; in just two or three breaths, nearly a third of the first divine mountain phantom had completely disintegrated and dissipated!

Moreover, this disintegration was chain-like, even showing signs of spreading toward the other two divine mountains, causing their Immortal Light to flicker violently and become unstable.

"This cannot continue!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes were nearly splitting; he knew that if he hesitated any longer, the loss would be even greater.

At that moment, he steeled his heart, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

"Explode for me!"
