138: Dark and Light Laws

"No rush, how about chatting with this Emperor for a bit?"

The Five-Clawed Black Dragon gradually shrunk, finally transforming into a man in a black Dragon Emperor robe with a majestic face.

Su Xiaobai frowned. Calling himself "this Emperor" in the Nine Nether Secret Realm... could only be Nine Nether Great Emperor himself.

The Dragon before him was actually an Incarnation of Nine Nether Great Emperor.

"Alright, what do you want to talk about?" Su Xiaobai put away Xuanyuan Sword and looked at him, neither servile nor overbearing.

Nine Nether Great Emperor stood with his hands behind his back. Perhaps he hadn't conversed with anyone for a long time, as he pondered for a while before speaking.

"How many years have passed now?"

"Three million five hundred and twenty thousand years," Su Xiaobai replied.

"After my death, were the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan eradicated? Are the Myriad Realms safe and sound?"

"During the Divine-Demon War, the Myriad Realms achieved a tragic victory, but the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan were not completely annihilated; they were merely driven beyond the [Underworld Abyss].

The Myriad Realms are currently safe, but due to the Divine-Demon War, Spiritual Qi is scarce, and their overall strength has declined too much compared to before."

"However..." Su Xiaobai hesitated.

Nine Nether Great Emperor looked at him, "However what? Speak freely."

"...However, the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan are now eyeing us covetously again. I'm afraid it won't be long before another great war erupts in the Myriad Realms," Su Xiaobai said, shaking his head.

"..." Nine Nether Great Emperor was silent for a long time, finally sighing softly, "Such a sight is within this Emperor's expectations."

"That Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, I don't know where they came from. Their vitality and recovery are astonishingly strong, making them extremely difficult to eradicate."

"If they aren't completely uprooted, they will certainly not give up on devouring the Myriad Realms."

At this point, a deep hint of dread and hatred flashed in Nine Nether Great Emperor's eyes.

Su Xiaobai nodded noncommittally.

Nine Nether Great Emperor then turned to look at him, a look of appreciation on his face: "To not only achieve Perfect Foundation Establishment but also reach Nine Dragon Mark Golden Core in an era of scarce Spiritual Qi, you truly are a rare talent!"

Su Xiaobai: "..."

Does he know how to compliment people? If not, then don't!

Nine Nether Great Emperor seemed not to notice his expression and continued: "Possessing two [Extreme Attributes] indicates your extraordinary Luck.

And your current appearance is not your true face, which shows you are cautious in your actions.

Daring to step into the Darkness Domain and fight me shows you have courage."

"Such Heart-Nature makes you worthy of inheriting my Darkness Law," he said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Nine Nether Great Emperor slowly extended his hand, pointing his fingertip at Su Xiaobai's forehead, and a wisp of dark, profound light entered his body.

Su Xiaobai did not resist, concentrating wholeheartedly on receiving it.

This was the Darkness Law, a top-tier Law that countless powerhouses yearned for!

An hour later.

A dark, mysterious rune appeared on Su Xiaobai's brow, but it vanished in an instant, hiding beneath his skin.

"The preciousness of the Darkness Law far exceeds the many secret treasures of the third-layer trial. This Secret Realm has drifted among the Myriad Realms for millions of years, and no one has been able to obtain it. Now that you've grasped it, you've truly gotten a bargain," Nine Nether Great Emperor chuckled softly.

"However... you are also worthy of obtaining it."

Su Xiaobai felt the changes within his body. At this moment, he could clearly perceive everything in the darkness; the surrounding dark power was entirely within his grasp, at his command!

At this time, Nine Nether Great Emperor's figure also became gradually transparent.

He was originally an Incarnation derived from the Darkness Law, and now that the Darkness Law had been imparted to Su Xiaobai, he should dissipate.

"Boy, can you grant me one last wish?" He looked at Su Xiaobai, his expression serious with a hint of plea.

"Please speak," Su Xiaobai's tone softened after gaining such a benefit.

"If one day the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan invades, I hope you can take my place and protect the Myriad Realms."

"Alright, alright, no problem, leave it to me, you can rest assured and go!" Su Xiaobai patted his chest, urging him.

Anyway, he had already gained the benefits, so he would trick him first.

As for protecting the Myriad Realms in the future?

Are you kidding? He wouldn't do such a thankless task! Self-preservation was the true principle!

"With your words, this Emperor can rest assured."

Nine Nether Great Emperor smiled with satisfaction, and his figure completely dissipated.

...

At the same time, on the distant other side.

"Farewell, Nine Nether Senior." Ling Xiao bowed deeply to the white Dragon Emperor robed man before him.

The man smiled and nodded, then his figure dissipated.

"If the powerhouses in the Myriad Realms were to know about the Light Law, I'm afraid it would stir up another bloody storm," Elder Yuan sighed.

Ling Xiao turned his head to look at the old man beside him, his face filled with admiration and gratitude, "I must thank Master for your assistance in allowing me to obtain the Light Law Legacy this time."

Elder Yuan waved his hand with a chuckle.

"The Light Law is too Heaven-Defying. You must use it carefully. Before you grow strong enough, don't let it be discovered by those with ill intentions, or you might invite disaster," he said with a serious expression.

"This Disciple understands." Ling Xiao humbly accepted the teaching, his eyes flickering with excitement and joy.

With the Light Law, he could finally catch up to Brother Xiaobai and fight alongside him in the future!

Inside the Tower of Heaven.

On the ancient throne, a skeletal frame that had been covered in dust for countless years slowly raised its head, and a glimmer of light appeared in its hollow eye sockets.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the Void Realm, looking towards the two youths.

"I never thought that this wisp of my remnant soul would live to see the Darkness and Light Laws passed on. Heaven truly does not wish the Myriad Realms to perish..."

...

In the Darkness Domain.

Su Xiaobai suddenly turned his head.

"..."

"Strange, did someone just watch me?" he said, somewhat uncertainly.

"Forget it, I won't worry too much. Even if someone was peeking at me, it could only be Nine Nether Great Emperor's remnant soul.

He has no ill will towards me, so there's no need to worry."

As he spoke, he raised his palm and retracted the Darkness Domain, and light finally returned to the surroundings.

White Flower saw the Domain dissipate and immediately rushed over.

"Are you hurt?" She looked at the wounds covering his body, her delicate brows furrowed.

This was the first time she had seen him suffer such severe injuries.

Su Xiaobai waved his hand indifferently, "Just minor injuries. Pack up, we should prepare to set off for the Tower of Heaven."

"That's the last stop. Once we enter the tower, I'll return your brother to you."

As he spoke, he put his clothes back on, covering his perfect eight-pack abs.

"Hmph! I hope you keep your word then!" White Flower lifted her head proudly.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let him go." Su Xiaobai smiled meaningfully.

He had attracted a lot of hatred using Black Abyss's face. Once he entered the Tower of Heaven, he could use Spiritual Qi, and then he wouldn't be in his current invincible state.

So, of course, it was time to abandon the unusable disguise and return to being the pure and innocent boy Su Xiaobai!

As for Black Abyss? Whether he could survive depended on whether his fate was strong enough.

White Flower frowned. Su Xiaobai had agreed so readily, she felt something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Finally, the two left Black Abyss side by side.

However, they didn't know, and even Nine Nether Great Emperor in the Tower of Heaven hadn't discovered, that in the deepest part of the Abyss, a pair of profound purple eyes quietly opened, looking in the direction Su Xiaobai had left...
