192: Chapter 192 The Stunningly Beautiful Empress! You bastard!

Zhou Liangan felt the terror of this punch, and his expression became grave.

He dared not be the slightest bit careless; he mobilized all the Power of Reincarnation within his body and poured it into the Reincarnation Sword.

"Ten Thousand Calamities Reincarnation!"

Zhou Liangan raised the Reincarnation Sword high and then slashed down fiercely.

This sword strike contained the true essence of Reincarnation, as if it were about to cast the enemy into a place of eternal damnation.

The black Sword Qi blotted out the sky, and the entire world seemed to turn black.

"Boom!"

The golden fist and the black Sword Qi collided fiercely.

This time, the energy shockwave produced was more terrifying than any previous one.

The entire plaza was instantly razed to the ground, and the surrounding buildings were all reduced to ruins.

The dark clouds in the sky were completely dispersed, revealing the azure sky.

Zhou Liangan and the man were both sent flying by the immense recoil force.

Zhou Liangan flew back several dozen zhang before barely steadying his figure.

The man also flew back more than ten zhang; his face was also somewhat pale, the wound on his chest had split open a bit more, and blood stained his Law Enforcement robe red.

He looked at Zhou Liangan with a strange expression, and also with the anger of his authority being challenged.

He never imagined that he, a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of the Return to Void Realm, would actually fight to a draw with a Cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm, and furthermore, be injured by the opponent.

If this were to spread, he would lose all face!

The onlookers were already dumbfounded, each with their mouths wide open, unable to speak.

They had witnessed a miracle with their own eyes, a shocking battle that spanned two major Realms.

An Enlightenment Realm Cultivator was actually fighting a Return to Void Realm powerhouse to a standstill, with no clear winner.

This was simply unprecedented and would never be repeated!

Chief Captain Ling Shuang stood in the ruins, staring blankly at Zhou Liangan in mid-air, her eyes complex.

She had originally hated Zhou Liangan to the bone, believing him to be a ruthless Devil Head who killed without blinking.

But now, she had to admit that Zhou Liangan truly possessed admirable strength and courage.

When facing a Return to Void Realm powerhouse, he did not retreat in the slightest, but instead grew braver the more he fought.

Is such a person really an evil Devil Head who commits all kinds of atrocities?

In Chief Captain Ling Shuang's heart, for the first time, doubt arose.

In mid-air, the man and Zhou Liangan faced each other from a distance, both rapidly recovering the spiritual power within their bodies.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and an even more intense battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Zhou Liangan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still firm, filled with unyielding Battle Intent.

He looked at the man opposite him, the corner of his mouth curling into an icy smile.

"I said it before, you cannot kill me."

The man's expression was so gloomy that water could drip from it; he stared fixedly at Zhou Liangan, his eyes burning with raging fury.

"Is that so? Then let us try and see, who exactly will die here today!"

As he spoke, the man clenched his fists again, and his Aura climbed once more.

He had made up his mind that no matter the cost, he must slay Zhou Liangan here.

Otherwise, the majesty of the Law Enforcement Hall would cease to exist, and he would become the laughingstock of the entire Star Domain.

Zhou Liangan also gripped the Reincarnation Sword in his hand, and the Power of Reincarnation within his body began to circulate again.

The air in mid-air seemed to solidify into steel, every inch filled with thick, inseparable spiritual power and Law fluctuations.

The fingers holding the Reincarnation Sword turned slightly white, and on the black blade, the residual golden Law fragments were slowly melting away.

He could clearly feel the depletion of spiritual power within his body; that previous "Ten Thousand Calamities Reincarnation" had almost drained seventy percent of his Power of Reincarnation, and waves of needle-like stinging pain came from his Meridians.

The situation of the black-robed Law Enforcer opposite him was no better.

The Law Enforcement robe on his chest had been soaked through with blood, his originally meticulous black hair had scattered a few strands, and a trace of imperceptible blood hung from the corner of his mouth.

The spiritual power of the Middle Stage of the Return to Void Realm rushed crazily through his body like a galloping river, repairing the Meridians torn by the Sword Qi of Reincarnation.

He stared fixedly at Zhou Liangan, his eyes extremely complex—there was anger, killing intent, and a trace of dread he himself was unwilling to admit.

"To be able to force me to this point, you have enough to be proud of," the Law Enforcer's voice was hoarse, carrying a texture like metal rubbing together. "But this is the end. Next, I will let you know that the gap between the Return to Void Realm and the Enlightenment Realm cannot be made up by talent alone."

The moment his words fell, the Law Enforcer suddenly pressed his palms together, chanting an ancient and obscure incantation.

The dark black Law Enforcement robe moved without wind, and the golden Law Enforcement patterns embroidered on the robe suddenly lit up with dazzling light, as if they had come alive, circling around his body.

"Law Enforcement Hall Secret Technique — True Martial Dao Body!"

With a deafening shout, the Law Enforcer's body began to expand rapidly.

Golden light gushed out from his body, wrapping his entire person within it.

In the midst of the light, his figure grew to over three zhang, his muscles knotted, filled with explosive power.

His originally handsome face became majestic and ferocious, and a golden vertical mark appeared on his forehead, inside which countless Laws seemed to be flowing.

A terrifying Aura, several times stronger than before, emanated from the True Martial Dao Body, pressing on everyone's hearts like a tangible mountain.

The ruins on the ground were pressed down another few feet, and those onlookers with slightly weaker cultivation collapsed directly to the ground, without even the strength to lift their heads.

"My God! It is the True Martial Dao Body! The legendary secret technique of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

"It is said that only the core Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall can Cultivate it; once unleashed, one's strength can skyrocket threefold!"

"It is over, it is over, Zhou Liangan is doomed now! A Middle Stage Return to Void Realm with triple strength—even if a Late Stage Return to Void Realm came, they would have to retreat!"

A burst of desperate exclamations erupted among the crowd of onlookers.

Everyone believed that this battle had no suspense left.

A Return to Void Realm powerhouse using a town-hall secret technique was definitely not something an Enlightenment Realm Cultivator could withstand.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang's heart also jumped into her throat.

She certainly knew the terror of the True Martial Dao Body; her Master had relied on this Move back then to slay a Devil Head of the Early Stage Return to Void Realm who was plaguing the region.

She looked at her Master, who was like a golden giant in mid-air, and then looked at the slender figure of Zhou Liangan, and inexplicably, a trace of reluctance rose in her heart.

She shook her head, forcibly suppressing this thought that should not exist.

Zhou Liangan had killed so many Law Enforcement Team members of the Law Enforcement Hall; he deserved to die, and it was only right and proper for her Master to kill him.

But, why was there a trace of reluctance in her heart?

Zhou Liangan felt the terrifying Aura coming from the True Martial Dao Body, and his expression became unprecedentedly grave.

He could clearly feel that the strength of the man before him had been elevated to an extremely terrifying level; even an ordinary Late Stage Return to Void Realm powerhouse might not necessarily be his match.

"A bit interesting," Zhou Liangan licked his cracked lips, and instead of fear in his eyes, an even more blazing Battle Intent ignited. "Then let me see just how hard your True Martial Dao Body is!"

As he spoke, Zhou Liangan took the initiative to attack.

He tapped his feet, and his figure shot towards the Law Enforcer like an arrow off a bowstring, the Reincarnation Sword in his hand tracing a perfect arc, carrying a sharp whistle that tore through space, slashing towards the Law Enforcer's head.

"Overestimating yourself!" The Law Enforcer snorted coldly, his huge palm like a cattail-leaf fan, slapping towards Zhou Liangan.

Golden Law power condensed on his palm, forming an indestructible shield.

"Ding!"

The Reincarnation Sword slashed fiercely onto the golden shield, emitting a harsh metallic clashing sound.

Sparks flew, and Zhou Liangan only felt an immense recoil force coming, his arm numbing, and his whole person was shaken and sent flying back more than ten zhang.

And on the Law Enforcer's golden shield, only a shallow white mark was left.

"Do you see? This is the absolute gap in strength!" The Law Enforcer sneered, walking towards Zhou Liangan with heavy steps.

Every step that fell, the sky would emit a dull rumble of thunder, and the ground would tremble violently as a result.

He raised his huge fist, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, smashing fiercely towards Zhou Liangan.

Where the fist passed, space was directly torn apart, leaving a huge black hole.

Zhou Liangan dared not take it head-on; his footwork changed, and his figure shuttled through the dense fist shadows like a ghost.

But the attack range of the True Martial Dao Body was simply too large, and every punch contained Law power, sealing off all of Zhou Liangan's dodging space.

"Bang!"

Ultimately, Zhou Liangan still failed to dodge completely and was grazed on the shoulder by a punch.

The immense power erupted instantly, and Zhou Liangan flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground, smashing out a huge deep pit.

"Zhou Liangan!"

Chief Captain Ling Shuang shouted out subconsciously, and only after she finished shouting did she realize that she was actually worried about this murderous Devil Head.

She hurriedly covered her mouth, a look of panic appearing on her face.

The Law Enforcer heard Chief Captain Ling Shuang's shout, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But he did not say anything more, just walked step by step towards the deep pit, preparing to deliver the final blow to Zhou Liangan.

"It is over," the Law Enforcer looked down at Zhou Liangan in the deep pit, saying coldly.

He raised his huge palm, and golden Law power gathered in his palm, forming a dazzling energy ball.

Just at this moment, Zhou Liangan in the deep pit suddenly moved.

"Over? It is still too early!" Zhou Liangan said, gritting his teeth.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning blood in his body.

Then, he closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Dantian. In the depths of his Dantian, besides that vast mass of black Power of Reincarnation, there was also a faint yet extremely pure golden breath flowing slowly.

That was Nirvana Energy.

"Power of Reincarnation, Nirvana Energy, fuse for me!"

Zhou Liangan let out a roar in his heart.

He controlled that wisp of golden Nirvana Energy, cautiously approaching the black Power of Reincarnation.

However, the moment the two completely different forces came into contact, a violent conflict occurred.

The black Power of Reincarnation represented ending and Reincarnation, and the golden Nirvana Energy represented new life and immortality; the two were inherently opposing existences.

"Hmm? What is he doing?" The Law Enforcer frowned, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

He could feel the energy fluctuations in Zhou Liangan's body becoming extremely unstable, as if they would explode at any moment.

"Could he be thinking of giving up and detonating his spiritual power to perish with me?" A thought flashed through the Law Enforcer's mind.

He dared not be careless, hurriedly taking a few steps back while strengthening his own defense.

The crowd of onlookers also showed confused expressions, not knowing what on earth Zhou Liangan was up to.

He recalled the Legacy of the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation, and recalled the true essence of Reincarnation.

Reincarnation is not just about ending; after the ending comes new life.

Nirvana is not just about new life; before new life, one must experience destruction.

Reincarnation and Nirvana, seemingly opposites, are actually complementary and indispensable.

"So that's how it is! I understand!"

Zhou Liangan opened his eyes abruptly, a flash of insight crossing his eyes.

He no longer forcibly suppressed the conflict between the two powers, but instead guided them to fuse and transform into one another.

The black Power of Reincarnation enveloped the golden Nirvana Energy, while the golden Nirvana Energy nourished the black Power of Reincarnation.

Gradually, the two powers ceased their conflict and began to slowly fuse together, forming an entirely new power.

The black-and-gold dual-colored Reincarnation Nirvana Power.

This power possessed both the devouring and reversal capabilities of the Power of Reincarnation, as well as the Rebirth and immortality of the Nirvana Energy; its might was several times stronger than the Power of Reincarnation alone!

As the powers fused, the injuries on Zhou Liangan's body were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His shattered shoulder bones knit back together, and his severed Meridians were repaired as if they had never been damaged.

Although his Realm remained at the Enlightenment Realm, his true combat power had already reached an extremely terrifying level!

"Th-this... how is this possible?" The Law Enforcement officer widened his eyes, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

He could clearly feel that the Aura on Zhou Liangan had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change; the quality of that power was even more terrifying than his own, a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of the Return to Void Realm.

The surrounding crowd was deathly silent; everyone had their mouths agape, staring blankly at Zhou Liangan, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang was also completely stunned.

She watched that figure emitting a black-and-gold light, her heart filled with shock. She had never seen such terrifying talent, nor had she ever seen such a madman.

To actually dare to attempt to fuse two opposing powers in the middle of a battle—this was simply gambling with his own life!

Zhou Liangan felt the surging Reincarnation Nirvana Power within his body, a confident smile curling the corners of his lips.

He raised his right hand and gripped the Reincarnation Sword hovering in mid-air.

The moment the Reincarnation Nirvana Power was injected into the Reincarnation Sword, the originally pitch-black blade suddenly underwent a change.

Golden patterns emerged on the black blade, moving across it like golden blood vessels.

The entire Reincarnation Sword emitted a vast, ancient, and terrifying Aura filled with vitality.

"This sword... it actually evolved too?" A strong sense of unease surged in the Law Enforcement officer's heart.

He knew he could not wait any longer; he had to kill Zhou Liangan before he fully mastered this new power!

"Judgment Heaven's Punishment!"

The Law Enforcement officer roared, injecting all his spiritual power into his right fist.

Golden light shot into the sky, condensing into a massive golden fist in the air.

This fist was entwined with countless golden lightning bolts, emitting a terrifying pressure that could judge and destroy everything.

This was the Law Enforcement officer's strongest killing Move, his ultimate trump card.

Years ago, he had relied on this Move to cross levels and kill a powerful enemy at the Late Stage of the Return to Void Realm.

The massive golden fist bore down on Zhou Liangan with world-destroying might.

Wherever it passed, space completely collapsed, forming a massive black hole as if to swallow the entire world.

Everyone held their breath, staring unblinkingly into mid-air.

They knew this strike would determine the final outcome of the battle.

Zhou Liangan looked up at the massive golden fist in the sky, his eyes calm and waveless.

He gripped the Reincarnation Sword with both hands and injected all the Reincarnation Nirvana Power in his body into the blade.

Black-and-gold light erupted from the Reincarnation Sword, illuminating the entire sky.

Zhou Liangan's figure appeared immensely tall within the light, as if he were a God of War who had walked out from the primordial era.

"Nirvana Reincarnation Slash!"

With a shout that shook the heavens, Zhou Liangan raised the Reincarnation Sword high and swung it down fiercely.

A massive black-and-gold Sword Qi erupted from the Reincarnation Sword; the Sword Qi was a thousand zhang long, like a giant Dragon spanning across the sky.

The Sword Qi was entwined with wisps of Reincarnation Qi and Nirvana Energy; on one side was endless darkness and termination, and on the other, dazzling light and new life.

The two powers fused perfectly, forming an indescribable and terrifying power.

This sword strike contained the true meaning of Reincarnation and the mysteries of Nirvana.

This sword strike could sever life and death, reverse Reincarnation, and regain new life!

"Boom!"

The black-and-gold Sword Qi and the massive golden fist collided violently.

This time, there was no earth-shattering roar, nor any terrifying energy shockwave.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Everyone saw the golden fist and the black-and-gold Sword Qi stalemated in mid-air.

The golden light and the black-and-gold light intertwined, forming a massive ball of energy that slowly rotated in mid-air.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Finally, the energy ball reached its critical point.

"Bang!"

A dull, thunderous sound rang out, and the energy ball exploded instantly.

The terrifying energy swept outwards in all directions like a tsunami; wherever it passed, everything turned into nothingness.

The sky was torn open with massive cracks, the ground was overturned, and the entire Law Enforcement Hall plaza turned into scorched earth.

Zhou Liangan and the Law Enforcement officer were both sent flying by the massive recoil force.

Zhou Liangan flew back over a hundred zhang, crashing heavily onto the ground and creating a bottomless pit.

The Law Enforcement officer also flew back dozens of zhang; his True Martial Dao Body had been shattered, and he had returned to his original form.

His face was pale as paper, he was spitting up blood continuously, and he did not know how many bones in his body had broken.

His spiritual power of the Return to Void Realm was almost completely exhausted, and he was barely steady enough to stand.

The two lay far apart on the ground, unable to Move.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

After a long while, a trembling voice rang out: "A... a draw? It's actually a draw?"

"My god! A Cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm actually fought to a draw with a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of the Return to Void Realm who used his True Martial Dao Body!"

"This is absolutely the greatest miracle in history! The name Zhou Liangan will surely be recorded in history!"

Discussions erupted like a tidal wave; everyone was trembling with excitement.

They had witnessed the birth of a legend with their own eyes—a legend who had crossed two major Realms to challenge a powerhouse of the Return to Void Realm and fought to a draw!

Chief Captain Ling Shuang ran quickly to the Law Enforcement officer's side, supporting her swaying Master.

Looking at her Master's pale face and injuries all over his body, her eyes were filled with heartache.

At the same time, she could not help but look at the figure lying in the deep pit in the distance, her heart filled with complex emotions.

The Law Enforcement officer leaned on Chief Captain Ling Shuang, struggling to lift his head to look in Zhou Liangan's direction, his eyes filled with extreme complexity.

Had he lost?

No, he had not lost; they had fought to a draw.

However, he was a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of the Return to Void Realm, while Zhou Liangan was merely a Cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm.

In a certain sense, he had already lost, and lost utterly and completely.

"Cough, cough..." The Law Enforcement officer coughed a few times and spat out another mouthful of blood, "Good... a very good Zhou Liangan... I will remember you..."

Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Crack—"

A cracking sound, crisper and more terrifying than any before, rang out abruptly.

Everyone looked toward the sound, only to see the Void Realm at the highest point of the sky suddenly shattering like glass.

A massive black crack, ten thousand zhang long, spanned across the sky; within the crack was endless darkness, emitting a terrifying Aura that made one's Soul tremble.

This Aura was a hundred, even a thousand times more terrifying than the Aura of a Return to Void Realm powerhouse!

It was an Aura that stood above everything, looking down upon all living beings!

That was the Aura of a Half-Emperor!

"Ha... Half-Emperor! It is actually a Half-Emperor!"

The Law Enforcement officer's face turned deathly pale in an instant, his eyes filled with extreme terror and awe.

He struggled to kneel, but he did not even have the strength to Move.

The surrounding crowd was so terrified that their Souls flew away and spirits scattered; one by one they knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

A Half-Emperor!

That was a legendary existence!

A supreme powerhouse only one step away from the Great Emperor!

Throughout the entire Star Domain, a Half-Emperor was a symbol of invincibility!

Chief Captain Ling Shuang was also pale with fright, holding her Master tightly, her body trembling incessantly.

She had never dreamed that a powerhouse at the Half-Emperor level would actually make a Move!

A blurry figure slowly appeared from that massive black crack.

No one could see his face clearly; they could only see that he was wearing a purple robe, with Chaos Qi swirling around him.

Just by standing there, he seemed to be the center of the entire world, with all Laws bowing in submission at his feet.

"The Xuanyuan Family is conducting business; bystanders, retreat."

A cold, indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, came from the figure.

The voice was not loud, but it exploded in everyone's mind like a thunderclap, making everyone feel reverence uncontrollably.

The Xuanyuan Family!

Hearing these four words, everyone gasped.

The Xuanyuan Family was one of the top super-factions in the entire Star Domain, with a Legacy spanning millions of years and an unfathomable foundation.

It was said that the Xuanyuan Family had several Half-Emperor level powerhouses holding down the fort!

No wonder Zhou Liangan was being hunted by the Law Enforcement Hall; he had actually provoked the Xuanyuan Family!

The gaze of the purple figure landed slowly on Zhou Liangan in the deep pit.

His eyes were cold and indifferent, as if looking at an ant.

"Zhou Liangan, you killed a member of our Xuanyuan Family; your crimes warrant death. Today, I shall take your dog life."

As his voice fell, the purple figure lifted a finger lightly.

There were no flashy Moves, nor any terrifying energy fluctuations.

However, the moment that finger fell, the entire world seemed to stand still.

Time, space, Laws—everything, absolutely everything, solidified at this moment.

A colorless and formless finger-force shot out from the purple figure's fingertip, flying slowly toward Zhou Liangan.

This finger-force looked incredibly slow, yet it crossed the limits of time and space, appearing instantly before Zhou Liangan.

This was the strength of a Half-Emperor!

With a single thought, Laws follow; with a flick of a finger, life and death are decided!

Zhou Liangan lay in the deep pit, not even having the strength to Move a finger.

But a playful smile curled the corners of Zhou Liangan's lips, and he whispered, "Wife! If you don't make a Move now, you're going to become a widow..."

At this very moment. The Void Realm cracked open again...
