Chapter 1126: Nine-sworded Ruler

Outside the formation.

The Five-clawed Lizard’s huge head emerged from the swamp. It looked in the direction of the formation in front of it, and its eyes revealed a hint of fear.

As far as it could remember, this was a forbidden area. No Abyss Lizard that came here would be able to come out alive.

In the swamp behind it, many huge heads poked out. They looked ahead with panic on their faces.

Behind the Five-clawed Lizard, a huge Abyss Lizard cried out as if it was asking something.

Seeing that no one came out, the Five-clawed Lizard turned back and roared indignantly. One by one, the lizards sank into the swamp again.

They left and could only give up helplessly.

The outside world became quiet again. On the small island, Ou Yangming glanced at Du Xie and said, “Senior Du Xie, I want this book and the golden pills. I’ll give you the other things in the interspatial ring. What do you think?”

Du Xie had seen the effects of the 7 golden pills as they were recorded in the book.

The golden pills that could help one break through to become a Ruler were very precious, so Du Xie also needed them. Nonetheless, when Ou Yangming brought it up, he did not refuse it. Even if his tribe had a few more Rulers, they would not be of much use. What they needed most was a powerhouse who could control the laws.

“Okay.” Du Xie nodded.

Ou Yangming threw the interspatial ring over. Du Xie took the ring and used his mental power to take a look inside. His expression changed slightly as he said, “Lil’ Friend Ou, there are too many good things in here. These are far from what the 7 golden pills can compare with.”

Initially, he had wanted to let Ou Yangming take advantage of him. Now that he looked at the interspatial ring, it was clear that the things he got were even more precious.

The thread-bound book could not be considered as anything. That book was not a treasure, to begin with, and Du Xie had also memorized the contents of the book. It could be considered as a joint possession of the 2 of them.

In other words, as long as Ou Yangming only took the 7 golden pills, which could help one break through to become a Ruler, and gave all the remaining things to Du Xie.

Ou Yangming smiled and said, “In my opinion, these 7 golden pills are precious enough. There are many things in there, but they aren’t of much use for me. The Shaman Tribe is currently rebuilding, so you’ll need those treasures more than I do.”

With the 7 Five Revolutions Golden Pill and the method to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, Ou Yangming felt that he had made a huge profit. Those were pills that had a chance to help a third-step powerhouse break through. Such heaven-defying items had no value to be measured.

“Okay, in that case, I’ll take them.” Du Xie did not be too polite. He put the ring away and then took a look at the outside world.

From the outside, one could not see the situation inside the formation but from the inside, they could see the outside clearly. Du Xie said, “The Five-clawed Lizard has left. We should also leave.”

“Let’s go.” Ou Yangming put the thread-bound book and the golden cores into the Long Feather Band.

After 3 days.

In the depths of the Abyss Swamp, Du Xie and Ou Yangming stood in the Void. In front of them was a Big Sealing Formation filled with a murderous aura.

There was no one nearby. Even the monsters in the swamp were far away.

“It’s here.”

Du Xie looked ahead and said, “In front of us is the Big Sealing Formation that the Shamans’ seniors have set up. It’s the Big Nine Heavens and Ten Earth Sacrificial Blood Formation.”

The murderous aura in front was surging, giving people a very oppressive feeling. It could be seen that the formation had been destroyed. It should have been done by Luo Yang and the others after they came out.

Unfortunately, their strengths were not enough to destroy the painstaking work of the Shamans’ ancestors. The formation was still in operation, and the Qiongqis and the Golden Crows were still greatly suppressed below.

“Something’s wrong!”

Du Xie frowned deeply. He flew to the top of the formation and spoke very cautiously.

Ou Yangming also flew over and asked, “Senior Du Xie, what’s wrong?”

Du Xie said in a deep voice, “This formation has been weakened after a long time, but its charm is still there, so it’s very difficult to get out of here. Where did the dozens of Rulers who attacked our tribe come from?”

“Didn’t they come from here?” Ou Yangming was also a bit surprised. The seniors of the Shaman Tribe had sealed the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis here. How could they come out from other places?

Du Xie said, “That’s not what I meant. They must’ve come out from here, but I’m just curious about how they broke out of the formation. Judging from the current situation, this formation can last for at least another 100 years. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have come out so easily.”

Hearing Du Xie’s words, Ou Yangming also looked at the ground. The ground was covered by a huge seal shaped like a compass, and numerous blood vessels were flowing everywhere. There were traces of damage on those blood vessels, but the damage was harmless and could not shake the foundation of the seal at all.

“Senior Du Xie, is there no other way to come out from inside?” Ou Yangming asked.

“There’s a slight possibility. Unless the Rulers of the Golden Crows and the Qiongqi have broken through to the third step of the laws and used the ultimate power of the laws to forcefully open a passage of laws in a weak spot. Otherwise, there’s absolutely no chance for them to come out from below the seal,” Du Xie said with certainty.

“What’s the probability of that?”

Ou Yangming’s expression also became serious. Based on the Crimson Ruler who had died for numerous years, it could be seen how fearsome the strength of a Ruler in the third step of the laws was. If they appeared, Ou Yangming knew that even he would not have the strength to resist.

A Ruler who controlled the power of the laws could easily slaughter ordinary Rulers. It was even easier for a Ruler at the second step of the power of the laws to kill an ordinary Ruler who controlled the laws. Correspondingly, it was the easiest for a third-step Ruler to kill a second-step Ruler. The higher the strengths, the greater the gap between the levels.

The third step of the power of laws was incredibly frightening. Ou Yangming had yet to enter the second step. He still had a long way to go before he could fight against a formidable existence like that.

“The possibility is incredibly low!” Du Xie shook his head. He looked a little lost as well.

“When the seniors of the Shaman Tribe sealed these 2 tribes, they had slaughtered all the Rulers from their tribes. The only ones left were those who weren’t strong enough. The environment down there is incomparably harsh and might not even be comparable to the lower realm. It can be considered a miracle to break through to become a Ruler there, let alone comprehending the power of laws. That would be more than 10 times more difficult than the outside world. The third step of the laws… Is practically impossible.”

Du Xie’s expression was solemn. He glanced at Ou Yangming and said, “I have to observe carefully. Lil’ Friend Ou, wait for me by the side for a while.”

“It’s fine. Senior, go ahead.” Ou Yangming waved his hand.

10 kilometers below the Sealing Formation, there was a mysterious small world. The environment here was very harsh.

In the most luxurious castle in the small world, 2 top-notch figures gathered. One of them was wearing a black robe and had sharp edges on his head, behind him were 2 wings that were as sharp as knives.

The other person was wearing a golden robe. His every movement exuded an indescribable aura of wealth.

“Brother Jin Cheng, have you received any news from the outside world?”

The black-robed man’s voice was very sharp.

Upon hearing the question, the golden-robed man shook his head and said, “Brother Luo, I’ve only received news once. Jin Hai and the others said that they can’t destroy the formation above. They also said that the Ancient Shamans have declined, so they plan to destroy them all. However, there has been no news from them since.”

“My son, Luo Yang, said the same.” The black-robed man stood up, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice, “Do you think that they’ve been killed outside?”

“At the moment, it’s possible, but we should wait. There might be news in a few days,” Jin Cheng responded.

“No, I can’t wait any longer. I’ve had enough of this damn place for countless years. Now that I’ve seen the light of hope, I can’t wait any longer.” The black-robed man’s face was gloomy.

“Have you decided to cooperate with that sir?” Jin Cheng’s gaze swept past the black-robed man. No one could guess his thoughts.

“Yes, since that sir could send Luo Yang and the others out, he could help us all leave this damned place. I don’t care what his intentions are toward the Great Wide World. Now that we’re staying in this damned place, what does that Great Wide World’s situation have to do with us!”

The black-robed man suddenly waved his hand. He looked at his subordinates and shouted, “Do you want to stay here, or do you want to kill your way out of the heart of origins and go to the Great Wide World?”

“Go to the Great Wide World!”

The voices were loud and clear. Even a king like Luo Qi could not stand it, let alone the others. They could not get out before, so they had no choice. Now that there was hope, why would they stay here?

Hearing such a neat voice, Jin Cheng also glanced at his subordinates. They had the same expression on their faces. As the Proud Golden Crow clan, they used to be so glorious. How could they stay in this damn place forever!

Jin Cheng got up, then he glanced at Luo Qi and said, “In that case, let’s contact that sir. As long as he can let us leave this place as soon as possible, the Qiongqis and the Golden Crows will follow his lead.”

“Okay!”

Luo Qi’s eyes were filled with excitement. He had thought of this for a long time, but he was worried that his friend would not agree with him. As long as he agreed, there would be no other voices in the small world.

With that, Luo Qi looked down and shouted coldly, “Please, Sir Nine-sworded Ruler!”

“Please, Sir Nine-sworded Ruler!” The people below also shouted in unison.

After the voice echoed in the castle 3 times, the fragile space fluctuated. An old man in a green robe stepped on the air and suddenly appeared in the palace.

Luo Qi and Jin Hai hurriedly walked forward and bowed deeply. They said respectfully, “Greetings, Sir Nine-sworded Ruler!”

Nine-sworded Ruler!

This was the title for Rulers who had reached the limit of the laws. The powerhouses of the 2 races looked at the green-robed old man with admiration. This was a supreme powerhouse at the third step of laws.
