Chapter 361: Chapter 180: I’ll Make You Kneel
"That’s right. The Realm of Space is a point of connection between two realms, a passage linking them."
"You mean this place connects to another world?"
"Yes. To be precise, it connects to Gui Xu."
The Three Lives Sect Leader said with a faint smile.
Zhao Rui was stunned, but only for a moment. He stopped paying attention to the passage and turned to the two of them. "Thank you for the explanation, Sect Leader. Farewell!"
"Wait a moment, young friend. Aren’t you interested in that strange divine light from just now?"
the Three Lives Sect Leader asked, his voice tinged with temptation.
"If it’s mine, it won’t get away. If it’s not, I won’t force it."
After speaking, Zhao Rui summoned his sword gleam and prepared to fly away.
But just as he moved, a sky-blotting hand suddenly materialized before him.
It was about to crush him in its grasp.
Zhao Rui was about to erupt with True Qi to break free when his Divine Soul suddenly constricted. An unknown shackle instantly bound it.
He was rendered immobile.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind:
"Replicable Martial Arts detected: Nine Sons Red Yin Soul Lock Array (Combined Array Type)! Replicate?"
’Damn it, replicate!’
Zhao Rui cursed inwardly and hurriedly activated the Illusionary Sound Technique and the Six Trigrams Enchanting Immortal Technique, protecting his Divine Soul while struggling to break free from the Lock Array’s restraints.
Possessing both a Demon Skill and an Immortal Technique, Zhao Rui’s Divine Soul was incredibly resilient. Now that he had also learned Cangwu Zi’s Mahayana Infinite, the vastness of his Soul Power had undergone a qualitative change.
With a brief exertion, he dispelled the restriction on his Divine Soul.
Just as he was fighting to get away, nine black-clad, masked Divine Envoys leaped out of the water in unison.
Each of them held a strange artifact, which they aimed at Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui quickly executed the Charming Maiden Formless Celestial Demon Great Method. His body turned incorporeal as he simultaneously dodged in six different directions.
The strange artifacts simultaneously shot out beams of lightning-like light, forming an encirclement that blocked all paths of escape.
All of Zhao Rui’s Acupoints opened. His Dharma True Body Purple Mansion Primordial Venerable Body manifested in an instant—a colossal figure over thirty zhang tall. With a single leap, he broke free from the restraints.
A vast amount of Spiritual Qi instantly gathered in its hand. A sky-blotting giant hand, even larger than the True Dharma Body itself, materialized in the air and reached back toward the nine Divine Envoys.
Compared to it, the Great Hand Seal the nine Divine Envoys had just unleashed together seemed as pitifully small as a kitten’s paw.
"Great Sumeru Buddha Hand!"
Everyone present, aside from Mo Ling’Er, was dumbfounded. The nine Divine Envoys were especially stunned, and in their moment of shock, the great hand snatched them up like a handful of wheat stalks.
Zhao Rui didn’t go easy on them. He forcefully hurled them toward the dark Realm of Space.
The nine figures, like little pebbles, turned into shooting stars and flew off with a WHOOSH.
"Are you from the Bailong Zen Monastery?"
The Three Lives Sect Leader hastily used the Great Sumeru Buddha Hand as well, blocking the entrance to the passage and plucking his nine subordinates back one by one.
he said, his face a mask of horror.
"Sect Leader, are you trying to make an enemy of me by blocking my path?"
Zhao Rui said coldly.
"Why waste time talking to him? Help me catch him, and I’ll be sure to put in a good word for you with my brother."
Seeing Zhao Rui act so "arrogantly," Mo Ling’Er grew furious. She had failed to catch him this entire time, and now that she had finally cornered him, he had escaped with ease.
She immediately flashed forward and attacked Zhao Rui.
At the same time, strange black runes began to appear all over her body. The runes, like tattoos, spread across her smooth skin.
They emitted a dark, glossy sheen.
Empowered by the runes, Mo Ling’Er’s body instantly swelled as she neared Zhao Rui’s massive True Dharma Body.
A large, long-plumed bird, as black as ink, emerged in the air. The inky flames around its body seemed like a block of dark ice, radiating an extreme cold.
Even Zhao Rui’s enormous True Dharma Body could feel a chill that pierced straight to the Divine Soul.
The great bird’s claws were incredibly sharp. In a flash, it appeared above the head of Zhao Rui’s Dharma Aspect and swiped at him.
Zhao Rui dodged aside and threw a long fist, beginning to fight with the giant bird.
"What are you standing around for?"
Mo Ling’Er yelled at the Three Lives Sect Leader, afraid that Zhao Rui would run away again any second.
The kid was slippery as an eel. The moment things looked bad, he would take to his heels, giving her no chance to use her real skills.
The Three Lives Sect Leader’s brows furrowed slightly. After a moment’s hesitation, he too revealed his True Dharma Body: a Nine-headed Serpent.
This time, however, his Nine-headed Serpent was much smaller than before, roughly the same size as Mo Ling’Er’s great bird.
The two Exotic Beasts materialized and lunged toward the human, Zhao Rui, tearing at him.
When Zhao Rui saw how small the Three Lives Sect Leader’s Dharma Body was, he made a decision. He immediately focused his full power on attacking Mo Ling’Er.
He reserved only a small fraction of his attention for the Three Lives Sect Leader.
Mo Ling’Er’s Martial Arts were extremely peculiar, a world apart from the existing Martial Arts of Huaxia.
As soon as she used them, system replication notifications began to sound nonstop in Zhao Rui’s mind.
Zhao Rui wasn’t picky; he chose to replicate everything the system prompted.
The three-way battle coincided with the appearance of the Realm of Space. The weather grew chaotic, with violent winds and monstrous waves that reached for the sky.
The entire scene was like the end of the world, throwing the surrounding waters into utter chaos.
The nine Divine Envoys all retreated more than ten kilometers away, not daring to get any closer.
"This person is incredibly strong. I’ve never heard of such an expert in Gui Xu!"
"They say he’s from Huaxia, not a visitor from Gui Xu."
"A formidable youth indeed. I fear even if our true selves descended, we would only possess this level of strength. I just wonder where he obtained that Demon Skill of his."
"Could he be a renegade disciple taken in by those two from Illusory Sound?"
