Chapter 1423: Ruler’s Authority (1)....
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
Gaze was a mysterious power!
The fragmented-face’s gaze could invade the world.
The gaze of a god could affect all living beings.
As for the gaze of a Ruler, it could sever the past and present, forming a rift.
Moreover, when this gaze was combined with their authority, they could erupt with power comparable to a god.
After all, a Ruler was the heavenly mountain in the cultivation system. It was an extreme sublimation.
An early stage Ruler could fight head-on against the divine fire!
Peak-stage Rulers were comparable to flawlessness gods!
Although it was the first step of Transient Evil, it was like a god had arrived.
Hence, at that moment, under his gaze combined with his special authority, Xu Qing’s mind rumbled and his soul felt suffocated.
Suffocation wasn’t only manifested in breathing.
When it was reflected in the soul, it would feel as though it had been erased.
It was loneliness, darkness, and despair.
Xu Qing trembled. All the divine authorities in the nihility land in his body, regardless of the depth of the mark, shone in unison at this instant. A silver luster also appeared on his body.
He erupted with all his might to resist this gaze while retreating. His divine sense spread out, wanting to move amidst the sound. At the same time, he also took out the Flame Phoenix’s feather.
He had to send a message.
However, in the dark, a cracking sound rang out.
It was as though something sharp had tyrannically cut through all his connections with the outside world in a way that exceeded his understanding.
Xu Qing’s heart stirred. He kept the feather and retreated even faster.
At this moment, in the Evil Life Holy Land, a pair of resplendent and vast scissors appeared above the head of Transient Evil, who was sitting cross-legged in a secret chamber.
This pair of scissors was extremely ancient, filled with endless vicissitudes, exuding a strong sense of the passage of time, and rising with terrifying power.
After that, the thousand-foot-tall Transient Evil slowly stood up.
His rise caused the world to rumble and the wind and clouds to surge.
A hundred years ago, he, who possessed the royal bloodline of the Evil Life Holy Land, decisively chose to enter life-and-death seclusion after reaching the peak of the Soul Accumulation Realm, attempting to break through to the
Ruler Realm.
This matter spread to all the yellow-level holy lands and was the focus of countless people.
This was because a Ruler… was an overlord of an area even in the holy lands.
Those who could become Rulers were extremely rare.
This was especially so for the Evil Life Holy Land.
The Evil Life Holy Land was originally considered an inferior holy land among the yellow-level holy lands. For many years, its ancestor had relied on his peak Ruler combat strength to support it alone.
Many times, it was as though his hands and feet were bound.
Hence, in the hearts of the Evil Life Holy Land, Transient Evil’s seclusion was the most important matter.
Once he succeeded, the status of the Evil Life Holy Land would also increase.
Hence, if it wasn’t for the fact that the decree to descend to Wanggu was an order they couldn’t resist, they wouldn’t have chosen to come at this time.
Although they had no choice but to come, to the Evil Life Holy Land, the matter of Transient Evil’s seclusion was still the main focus of their race.
They didn’t disturb him and strictly forbade the outside world from interfering.
Hence, Transient Evil who had been in closed-door cultivation for a hundred years and was completely immersed in his breakthrough didn’t know about the situation in the external world. He only knew from an awakening many years ago that the holy land would descend to Wanggu to carry out the decree.
Regarding Wanggu’s information, he was still stuck on his previous understanding.
At this moment, the death of his only bloodline descendant caused ripples in his heart and formed karma, disturbing him.
It was hard to say if it was a blessing or a curse.
Blessing was because he had actually stepped into the threshold of the Ruler Realm a few years ago. However, his aura and pressure fell into chaos, as though he was in the cycle of reincarnation.
It was a cycle, repeating endlessly, unable to awaken.
Outsiders couldn’t help him in this matter.
Only by awakening could he be considered to have truly advanced.
Almost all Rulers would experience this. This was also the process of condensing their authority.
The so-called authority was similar to divine authority, but fundamentally different.
Generally speaking, it was something that only existed at the Ruler realm. However, occasionally, there would be some peerless heaven’s chosen who could obtain it at the Soul Accumulation realm. It was just that it was extremely rare.
As for the process of gaining authority, for some, awakening was instantaneous, while for others, it may take hundreds or even thousands of years, or even longer.
So, the appearance of these ripples, the resulting entanglement, transformed into the murderous intent and anger of bloodline, resonating with his authority, finally causing him to awaken.
As for the calamity… it was the death of his child and the flaws formed by the premature awakening of authority.
However, no matter what, at this moment, he was already a Ruler.
He opened his eyes and stared at the void, breaking through the karma and pursuing the sensation in his heart.
Just as he had said, he… saw Xu Qing.
Although he was unfamiliar with the situation outside, combined with his previous understanding, he realized that the holy land had arrived in Wanggu.
As for the identity of the person who killed his son, he didn’t know and there was no need for him to know.
This was because no matter who the other party was, at this moment… he was a target he had to kill.
Only then would he be able to restore his mental state and perfect the flawed authority.
This was related to his Dao!
Moreover, the figure he saw had cut off the connection with the outside world with the treasure left behind by the peak Great Emperor of his race and was using some strange means to conceal himself. Therefore, without any hesitation, Transient Evil took a step forward.
This step, taken within his secluded chamber, caused waves in heaven and earth, and stirred the fates. His figure disappeared in an instant.
Following the guidance of his bloodline and the lock of his gaze, the instant his step landed, he had already appeared in Xu Qing’s five hundred-kilometer underworld domain.
The moment he appeared, the rules here gained an owner and the laws became slaves.
Although the Heavenly Daos of Wanggu rejected the holy lands that had left back then due to the influence of Wanggu’s will, they were still tolerant of almighties who had reached the Ruler realm… regardless of their origins..
