I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2281
Chapter 2281: Chapter 2280: Ninth Refinement True Monarch, The Power of Rules
“This kind of rule is like being trapped here, unable to escape.”
“Rules are rules.”
“Rules are the main component of the world; they don’t change because of anything.”
“Serving the Heavenly Dao allows us to gain infinite power within a limited life. Doesn’t this feeling seem good?”
“Everyone dies; why pursue such elusive freedom? Only power is eternal.”
“In the current Nine Domains World, only we can survive. Anyone stronger than us has perished on the path of Heaven Challenge.”
The scholar in white said these words calmly.
After all, everyone has their own ambitions.
These matters, to them, represent different ideals.
Serving the Heavenly Dao is nothing to be ashamed of.
It is doing what they believe is right.
And Lord of the Dead Spirits, hearing this, knew communicating with him was impossible.
Neither of them could change the other.
Both are steadfast idealists.
It’s just that some people’s ideals require freedom, while others seek strength.
“I want to know who Ming Leng was in his previous life?” asked Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Ming Leng is his adopted son, and the Lord of the Dead Spirits is clear about his strength.
But if Ming Leng is different from what he imagines, then Ming Leng’s power is evidently hidden.
He has been very cautious, yet he didn’t anticipate that the Holy Court could place such an important figure beside him.
Fortunately, the intelligence Ming Leng possesses is limited.
Regarding the matter of Yin Qi in the mortal realm, he hasn’t mentioned it to anyone.
Not even his adopted son knows about it.
This is one of the few good news for now.
As long as Xu Zimei can guard that place.
Because Lord of the Dead Spirits thoroughly trusts Xu Zimei’s strength.
Unless a Hundred Million Daos powerhouse appears now, within the Ten Million Great Dao realm, those of the same level cannot be a match for Xu Zimei.
Being invincible in the same realm is not something casually claimed.
“If you find it easy, call him Ming Leng.
However, we are more accustomed to calling him Ninth Refinement True Monarch,” the scholar in white said.
“With Reincarnation Power shaping the Ninth Refinement physique, I don’t care what backup you may have left.”
“But in his hands, whoever dares to obstruct will be crushed to pieces.”
“Ninth Refinement True Monarch,” Lord of the Dead Spirits squinted slightly and spoke.
Saying: “You’re likely to be disappointed.”
“The backup I left isn’t something that can be compared to some mere survival post-reincarnation.”
“After all, he once represented an era.”
……
In the black mist,
Although Xu Zimei’s figure was hidden, his Divine Sense enveloped everything around.
Including Lord of the Dead Spirits, who was initially within his perception, but suddenly, the Lord of the Dead Spirits’ aura vanished.
He naturally couldn’t suspect the Lord of the Dead Spirits was killed.
This is almost impossible.
It’s very likely that Lord of the Dead Spirits was trapped.
But Xu Zimei couldn’t fathom what could trap a powerhouse of Lord of the Dead Spirits’ level.
He attempted to perceive more closely and eventually noticed some peculiarity.
“Rules, huh…”
A brand-new rule appeared within the Netherworld Realm.
Xu Zimei was not unfamiliar with rules; at the Dao Fruit stage, everyone has leveraged the Force of Heavenly Rules.
In the battle with True Martial Great Emperor, he had explained the realm beyond Hundred Million Daos.
When a cultivator breaks through Ten Million Great Dao and truly reaches the Hundred Million realm, due to the Great Dao’s restrictions, it becomes nearly impossible for anyone to directly achieve Hundred Million Daos.
True Martial Great Emperor used Yuan Central Continent to supplement his Dao, eventually accomplishing Perfection with Hundred Million Daos.
Once truly entering the Hundred Million Daos, firstly, the Power of the Great Dao undergoes transformation.
At this stage, the Power of the Great Dao can lay down rules.
Create your own rules.
But two points must be noted:
First, although rules can be created, they must conform to the world’s approval.
Just like trying to burn flames in the ocean, that’s impossible.
Because the rule of incompatibility between water and fire is the world’s rule.
Such a rule can’t be crossed.
If it’s merely about flames burning the ocean, any Dao Fruit powerhouse can achieve it.
But to set this as a perpetual rule so that in future all water and fire can burn each other,
Affecting everyone in the world, that’s impossible.
Because the rule is not just for you,
But for everyone in this world.
Here’s a simple example.
If someone made a rule where the sun never sets,
Then there would only be daylight, with no night ever again.
This does not only concern a cultivator but affects every mortal living in the Nine Domains World.
Such a rule would not gain world’s approval.
But if you act in accordance with the world’s rules.
For instance, you’re on a plain and need a volcano.
Then you can achieve it.
This volcano would be identical to other volcanoes in the world.
This is your rule.
Other volcanoes are the rule of the creator.
As long as the two rules don’t conflict, your rule can stand.
The Holy Court trapped Lord of the Dead Spirits because their rule was approved by the world.
……
That was just the first point.
To use rules, one must adhere to them.
The second point worth noting is, the rules of the world cannot exceed its limits.
Without challenging the heavens, you can never leave the Nine Domains World
Thus, your rules are confined to the Nine Domains.
Wanting stronger rules is almost impossible.
When Xu Zimei sensed the rules, he hadn’t yet fully perceived when he suddenly furrowed his brows.
Because within his perception, a figure was slowly moving towards him.
This figure’s aura was peculiar.
Seemingly not strong, but conveys the feeling of brewing something.
Like a nuclear weapon, its appearance gives away nothing.
But when it explodes, its power commands the world’s attention.
……
“Finally someone arrives,” Xu Zimei murmured.
He knew that enticing the Lord of the Dead Spirits out would inevitably lead to a next step.
Indeed, after using rules to trap the Lord of the Dead Spirits, they came impatiently here.
Wanting to uncover the secrets of Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Xu Zimei couldn’t help but laugh: “Lord of the Dead Spirits, this time you owe me a huge favor!”
His figure gradually appeared, stepping into the outside world.
At this moment, Ninth Refinement True Monarch was heading toward the black mist.
As the adopted son of Lord of the Dead Spirits, he knows the Netherworld Realm very well.
His disguise is excellent.
But there is only one place he has never visited.
Lord of the Dead Spirits has always remained here, not allowing anyone to enter.
Ninth Refinement True Monarch feared exposure, so he never dared trespass.
