624: Chapter 620 The Manifestation of Laws

Xuanyuan Yao's figure paused as he retracted his twin blades, his gaze turning cold as he looked toward the door—he knew that the big shots of the Zhao family had finally arrived.

Zhao Lie, meanwhile, collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, his face filled with the relief of having survived a disaster.

Outside the Misty Rain Tower, the wind and snow continued unabated as an elderly figure dressed in a grey robe slowly walked inside.

This Elder had hair and a beard as white as snow, an aged face covered in wrinkles, but his eyes were as sharp as knives. He possessed the cultivation of the Early Tribulation Crossing Stage!

He was the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement for the Zhao family, Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun was an Elder-level figure within the Zhao family with extremely high seniority and profound cultivation. For many years, he had been responsible for the Zhao family's Law enforcement, known for his ruthless methods and impartial nature. He held immense prestige within the Zhao family; even the Family Head, Zhao Chengyi, had to defer to him slightly.

Behind Zhao Kun followed over a dozen Cultivators dressed in grey robes, each with profound cultivation. The lowest among them was at the Early Spirit Transformation Stage, and there were several at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage. It was a very powerful lineup.

These people were all members of the Zhao family's Law Enforcement Hall.

Zhao Kun's gaze swept across the hall. When he saw the wound-covered Zhao Lie, the unconscious Zhao Yue on the floor, and Xuanyuan Yao holding his Sun and Moon Twin Blades with Blood and Frost Qi swirling around him, a hint of solemnity and doubt flashed in his eyes. His voice was aged and majestic: "I wonder which expert Your Excellency is? Why have you harmed my Zhao family members, killed our commander, and humiliated our Third Young Master?"

Xuanyuan Yao said indifferently, "They provoked me first; I only fought back. If anyone else from the Zhao family dares to provoke me, I don't mind killing a few more."

"Arrogance!" Zhao Kun shouted angrily. "What an ignorant youth! You, a mere Early Spirit Transformation Stage, dare to be so insolent before this old man!!"

Zhao Kun had lived a long life and seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen a youth so young yet possessing such profound cultivation.

This youth looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, yet his cultivation had already reached the Soul Transformation Stage. This talent was simply unprecedented and would likely never be matched.

But surprise aside, since this youth had offended the Zhao family, he had to die! The dignity of the Zhao family allowed no provocation.

When Zhao Hao attained the Dao, even his dogs and chickens ascended to heaven.

After Zhao Hao became the closed-door Disciple of the Qingyun Sect and the number one person of the younger generation, people from all over the world flocked to curry favor with the Zhao family.

Elders from various Sects, City Lords from various cities, and countless wealthy merchants all sent various precious cultivation resources to the Zhao family.

Relying on these abundant resources, the clansmen of the Zhao family saw their cultivation improve greatly. The overall strength of the Zhao family had multiplied several times in just twenty years.

And Zhao Kun, as the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement, naturally received no small amount of resources.

Relying on a large number of Heaven And Earth Treasures and Spirit Pills, he Cultivated day and night, finally breaking through the Spirit Transformation Late Stage Bottleneck to reach the Early Tribulation Crossing Stage, becoming the strongest person in the Zhao family besides Zhao Chengyi.

Zhao Kun looked at Xuanyuan Yao: "It is a good thing for you to have such talent at such a young age, but you simply don't know what's good for you and provoked my Zhao family. Today, I shall cripple your cultivation and grind your bones to ash. I will let you witness the true methods of the Tribulation Crossing Stage with your own eyes!"

Zhao Kun slowly clenched his right hand as grey Laws gathered frantically around him. In his palm, a blurry phantom gradually took shape.

This was no ordinary condensation of Spiritual Qi, but the Law Manifestation unique to the Tribulation Crossing Stage!

The phantom solidified rapidly, turning into a grey rooster several meters tall—its head held high, wings like ink, and sharp claws glinting with a cold light. It was surrounded by a dense black Qi of the Law of Destruction. Every feather contained the power to tear through space. As soon as it formed, it let out a crow that shook the clouds. That crowing was no mundane sound, but the hum of Law vibrations.

"Law Manifestation, Black Feather Celestial Chicken!" Zhao Kun shouted low. The grey rooster instantly spread its wings, and as they flapped, a sky full of black Law Qi swept out like a monstrous wave, pouncing toward Xuanyuan Yao.

This black Qi was no ordinary Evil Qi; it contained the Law of Destruction. The air was completely devoured, the ground was corroded with dense black holes, and even Xuanyuan Yao's Blood Realm Barrier was directly shattered.

Xuanyuan Yao frantically circulated the Blood Spirit Technique, pushing his Blood Realm Law to the limit. A crimson blood-light enveloped his body, yet it was still difficult to withstand the erosion of the black Qi. After all, the gap between their Realms was too vast.

"Blood Shadow Tracking Technique!" Xuanyuan Yao's figure turned into a crimson blood shadow, moving at extreme speed, seemingly about to break through the blockade of the black Qi.

Zhao Kun's voice rang out again, carrying an irresistible authority: "Tribulation Domain—Black Underworld Domain!"

With Zhao Kun as the center, a massive grey light screen instantly expanded, enveloping the entire Misty Rain Tower.

Within the light screen, heaven and earth changed color. Spiritual Qi was completely converted into grey Law Qi, and the air became as stagnant as iron. Xuanyuan Yao's figure instantly froze, the Blood Realm power within him seemingly frozen, unable to circulate even a fraction—this was the unique Domain of the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Within the Domain, Zhao Kun was the rules themselves, and even Xuanyuan Yao's strength to lift a hand was stripped away.

Zhao Kun walked slowly into the Domain. With every step, grey Laws gathered beneath his feet. He looked down at the disheveled Xuanyuan Yao, his lips curling into a cold sneer: "The Soul Transformation Stage is nothing but an ant before the Tribulation Crossing Stage. You thought you could contend with me using a few special tricks? How naive!"

Before his voice finished, the Black Feather Celestial Chicken spread its wings again. The sky-filling black Qi condensed into a massive rooster claw, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth as it viciously clawed toward Xuanyuan Yao's chest.

Xuanyuan Yao's entire body was stiff and unable to dodge. He could only watch as the claw approached. The Blood Realm Barrier within him shattered, a heart-wrenching pain came from his chest, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

This was the first time Xuanyuan Yao had been injured and the first time he had suffered a setback in this strange other world!

"Blood Blade Space-Rending Art!" Unwilling to give up, Xuanyuan Yao exhausted his last bit of Spiritual Qi. The crimson blood blade vibrated, and a sky full of blood blades gushed out, rushing toward Zhao Kun and the Black Feather Celestial Chicken.

But as soon as those blood blades touched the grey Law Qi, they were instantly devoured and crushed, failing to stir even a ripple. Instead, he suffered a backlash from the black Qi, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood as his consciousness began to blur.

Zhao Kun watched his futile resistance without a shred of pity. With a wave of his hand, the Black Feather Celestial Chicken crowed again, and its terrifying claw grabbed directly for Xuanyuan Yao's head. This time, he intended to crush Xuanyuan Yao's head—to completely slay this ignorant brat.

Just as the claw was about to reach Xuanyuan Yao's head—

Crack!!"

With an ear-piercing sound of space tearing, a long, narrow crimson crack opened in the void before Xuanyuan Yao without warning.

From within the crack, countless amounts of viscous, scalding blood gushed out like a surging river of blood. It carried an ancient, overbearing aura that surpassed the Laws of the Black Underworld Domain, instantly spreading out and suppressing the surrounding grey Law Qi.

The gushing blood rapidly gathered and condensed in the air. Within a few breaths, it transformed into a half-meter long blood blade—the blade body was as red as molten lava, and the tip was incomparably sharp. As soon as it formed, it vibrated with a hum. Without any pause, it carried the momentum to slice through the firmament, accurately slashing toward the massive claw of the Black Feather Celestial Chicken!

"Chila!!"

The sharp blood blade cut through the massive claw of the Black Feather Celestial Chicken as easily as cutting tofu. Black Law blood sprayed out, dripping onto the ground and instantly corroding deep pits that emitted black smoke. Even the grey light screen of the Black Underworld Domain vibrated from being splashed by this blood.

The Black Feather Celestial Chicken let out an extremely shrill wail. Its originally solid body began to become illusory and transparent; clearly, its Law Origin had been severely damaged.

Zhao Kun froze completely in place, his pupils shrinking violently. The indifference and arrogance on his face were instantly replaced by extreme horror. His mouth hung open wide enough to fit a fist as he roared out in shock, "What... what the hell is this?!"
