419: Chapter 423 A Joke!

Jiang Wunian gave a sinister laugh and clapped his hands together. The different Laws converging within the pillar of light suddenly crashed down toward Yun Chenzi!

The giant palm condensed from the Five Elements Law was as heavy as a mountain!

The sharp blades formed from the Space Law were invisible and shadowless!

There was also the Heavenly Tribulation lightning derived from the Wind and Thunder Laws, overbearingly peerless!

Each strand of Law power was enough to heavily injure an ordinary Golden Core Perfection, yet now they were all mixed together, blasting toward Yun Chenzi in unison!

However, facing this extremely powerful strike, Yun Chenzi still stood with his hands behind his back, his face showing no ripple of emotion.

"Governing heaven and earth, plundering Laws..."

He murmured to himself, his tone carrying a hint of faint mockery.

"The method of theft is, in the end, nothing more than a minor path."

Before his voice had even faded, he moved.

He simply took a light step forward.

As that step landed, the entire world fell silent!

The Yin and Yang vortices filling the sky suddenly contracted, finally condensing behind him into a massive phantom of a taiji diagram!

The taiji diagram rotated slowly, the black and white Qi like two swimming fish, joined head to tail in a continuous cycle!

"Yin and Yang are the beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things."

Yun Chenzi's voice was calm, yet it resonated like the resonant sounds of the Great Dao through every inch of the Void Realm.

"Whether it be the Five Elements Law or the Space Law you've plundered..."

He raised his right hand and lightly tapped with his index finger.

"...they all originate from the heavenly changes after the intertwining of Yin and Yang!"

The corners of Yun Chenzi's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"You use your so-called Path of Governance, yet you plunder Laws that are subordinate to mine. How laughable!"

The moment his words fell, Jiang Wunian's attack had already blasted before him.

However, in the next instant, they all unexpectedly came to a sudden halt!

Immediately after, a bizarre scene occurred.

The giant Five Elements palm, upon touching the Yin and Yang taiji diagram, quietly decomposed like ice melting into water, turning into the purest Five Elements Spiritual Qi and being absorbed by the diagram!

The spatial blades, three feet away from Yun Chenzi, suddenly twisted and folded, finally dissipating into nothingness like a shattered mirror!

The Heavenly Tribulation lightning struck the taiji diagram, only stirring a circle of faint ripples before falling silent!

In an instant, the Law backlash surged toward Jiang Wunian like a tide.

"What!"

Jiang Wunian's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Technique, trying to control the backlashing power.

But it was already too late.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Wunian spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated violently a hundred yards!

His hands frantically formed seals, casting one restrictive spell after another, barely managing to stabilize his dao foundation!

Meanwhile, Yun Chenzi still stood in place with his hands behind his back, not having moved even half a step.

This was the gap.

Both were at Golden Core Perfection and both had comprehended Laws, but as one of the supreme Laws pointing directly to the Origin of heaven and earth, the "Primal Yin and Yang Dao" possessed a natural orthodox suppression over a heterodox Law like the "Path of Seven Emotions and Extreme Desires"!

However.

Jiang Wunian was not an ordinary Golden Core Perfection after all. To reach his current position in the Six Desires Demonic Sect, he relied on more than just the power of Laws!

"Good, very good!"

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the look of madness in his eyes growing even more intense.

"Yun Chenzi, you are indeed stronger than you were decades ago."

He took a deep breath, and the aura around him suddenly became eerie.

The originally bright seven-colored radiance began to grow dim and deep, finally turning into an eerie dark gray.

His eyes also lost their original emotional fluctuations, becoming as calm and rippleless as stagnant water.

"But you've forgotten one thing."

He spoke slowly, his voice becoming hollow and distant.

"I, Jiang Wunian, have survived in the Six Desires Demonic Sect until today by relying on more than just the power of Laws."

He raised his right hand, slowly closing his fingers.

With his movement, the dark gray light around him began to fluctuate violently, finally condensing in his palm into a bizarre little insect no larger than a fingernail, its entire body crystal clear!

The little insect was transparent, yet seven colors slowly flowed within its body like a living gemstone!

A bizarre smile curled on Jiang Wunian's lips.

"Let a peasant like you witness the Seven Emotions Gu King."

The moment his words fell, the little insect suddenly turned into a streak of light and vanished without a trace!

Yun Chenzi's brow furrowed slightly.

In the next instant.

He felt his emotions starting to fluctuate uncontrollably!

An inexplicable rage surged in his heart, making him want to strike out recklessly and completely slaughter the annoying Jiang Wunian before him!

Then, the rage turned into greed.

Greed for power and status, greed for the immortal path of the Great Dao, greed for eternal life.

However, after greed came fear!

It was the fear of a hopeless path toward the Dao, the fear of the dao-obstructing person!

Seven emotions, seven desires, rotating in his heart like a revolving lantern!

This was the terror of the Seven Emotions Gu King.

It did not attack the Physical Body or erode the Divine Soul, but directly acted upon a Cultivator's emotional Origin!

No matter how firm one's Dao Heart was, under the erosion of the Seven Emotions Gu King, a momentary flaw would appear!

And in a battle of this level, a momentary flaw was enough to decide victory or defeat!

"A good opportunity!"

A sharp light flashed in Jiang Wunian's eyes as his figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

The next moment, he appeared three yards behind Yun Chenzi!

His right hand formed a claw, with dark gray destructive light entwined around his fingers as he clawed fiercely toward the back of Yun Chenzi's heart!

This strike condensed his entire cultivation, enough to pierce the defense of any Golden Core Perfection!

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch Yun Chenzi's back.

Puchi!

A soft sound.

Jiang Wunian's right claw stopped half an inch from Yun Chenzi's back, unable to advance even a fraction further.

It wasn't that he didn't want to advance, but that his right wrist was being held firmly by a slender and powerful hand.

Yun Chenzi turned his head and looked at the terrified Jiang Wunian.

Within his eyes, the black and white Qi flowed slowly, perfectly clear. Where was there any trace of being eroded by the Seven Emotions Gu King?

"You... how could you..." Jiang Wunian's voice trembled.

The corners of Yun Chenzi's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"I forgot to tell you."

His tone was calm, yet it sounded like a thunderclap in Jiang Wunian's ears.

"I have reached Dao Heart Perfection; I am immune to Heart Demons."

"A mere Seven Emotions Gu thinks it can shake my Dao Heart?"

As his words fell, the fingers gripping Jiang Wunian's wrist suddenly applied force!

Crack!

Amidst the crisp sound of bone fracturing, Jiang Wunian's right wrist was crushed by brute force!

"Ah!"

Jiang Wunian screamed in pain and retreated violently!

But as fast as he retreated, Yun Chenzi pursued even faster!

Taking a step forward, Yun Chenzi appeared in front of Jiang Wunian! He struck out with his right palm!

This palm strike did not use any Laws or any Divine Abilities; it was just a simple, unadorned palm strike.

But as this palm landed, Jiang Wunian felt as if he were facing not a single person, but an entire world!

Boom!!!

As the palm landed, Jiang Wunian flew backward like a broken kite, spraying blood from his mouth!

He smashed through dozens of giant rocks in the Void Realm along the way, finally crashing into a patch of ruins within the Li Family estate below, kicking up clouds of dust!

The dust settled.

Jiang Wunian struggled to crawl up from the ruins, covered in blood and his aura withered. Where was any of his former majesty as a Golden Core Perfection?

Meanwhile, Yun Chenzi still stood in the Void Realm, hands behind his back, looking down at the ant-like Jiang Wunian below.

"You..." Jiang Wunian's lips trembled, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.

At this moment, he finally understood that the gap between him and Yun Chenzi had, at some unknown point, grown so large that no means could bridge it.

Laws, Gu Kings—in the face of absolute strength, they were all nothing more than a joke!
