603: Prajna Wisdom Sword
Tang Ku's door was suddenly pulled open. It was a familiar figure, without any bodyguards or other attendants.
When he received Newton's distress signal, he knew something was wrong. Because even if this old friend were on the verge of death, he would never send a signal to beg for his life, knowing that if he couldn't solve the problem, calling for help would just mean one more person dying in vain.
However, he came anyway. Knowing full well that this was a trap set for him, an open scheme, he still came!
"Professor Darwin, it's been a long time!"
Tang Ku looked coldly at Darwin and said, "Let's settle all our old and new scores today!"
Darwin glanced at the stunned Newton and said in a deep voice, "Let him go. You want me!"
In truth, he was already nervous, because he couldn't fathom Tang Ku's current strength at all.
Once upon a time, this bald monk was nothing more than a weakling, the kind he could easily crush with a single finger.
But now... Tang Sanzang's strength had surpassed them, reaching an unfathomable Realm. However, Newton was his best friend in the organization, and he couldn't abandon him.
Tang Ku stood up and said, "Do you think that's possible? After everything you two did together on Earth, do you think I would let him go? You high-level scientists are too naive!"
Darwin replied, "His only fault was helping me. In your eyes, I should be the main culprit, so let him go. I will take responsibility for everything; you won't lose out!"
Tang Ku suddenly smiled. "Then let's have a fight. If you win, I'll let you leave... However, this place is too cramped to fight properly, and this planet is extremely fragile. Why don't we..."
He turned his head to look at Tang Xuan. Surprisingly, Tang Xuan was very understanding. She smiled and said, "You only think of me when you need my help, my friend..."
As she spoke, she took a small diamond-shaped box from her belt and pressed it gently. The entire space was instantly shrouded in a layer of blue mist. When they regained their senses, they were already floating in outer space.
Tang Ku had known from the beginning that this Young Miss Tang must have a Magic Treasure or instrument for spatial transfer; otherwise, it would have been impossible to return so quickly to see him.
Sure enough, this small instrument had easily transported them to the outer space of the Kenda star.
"There, right here!"
Tang Ku looked at Darwin and said, "Your strength should be above Newton's. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Newton suddenly shouted at Darwin, "Darwin, don't attack! Run, run! You are no match for him! Don't worry about me, run!"
Darwin just glanced at him, then suddenly shook his head. "You don't understand. No matter the circumstances, I will never abandon you!"
As he spoke, a burst of smoke rose from his body. Darwin's body became young again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his whole person instantly looked rejuvenated.
The Life Law transformed him from a decrepit, elderly scientist into the prime of his youth.
Whether in terms of energy, physical strength, or the energy contained within his body, he was far superior to his elderly state. This was his best state, displayed to deal with emergencies.
"Make your move. If you win, I will let you go. Conversely, if I win, you must follow my instructions and take me to see your master!"
Tang Ku said in a deep voice.
The young Darwin had an incredibly robust physique. He tore his shirt to shreds and said to Tang Ku, "I know I'm no match for you right now, but if I go all out, you might not necessarily win... This strike gathers my strongest attack. If you are this arrogant, be careful of ending up with no place to be buried!"
A cyan aura suddenly rose from Darwin's body, as if it were gushing out from every pore. Then, this cyan aura became darker and darker as it swirled, gradually turning from cyan to dark green, and then directly transforming into a pitch-black color, like real ink.
Like mercury spilling onto the ground, this thick fog instantly turned into liquid, and in the blink of an eye, the liquid turned into heavy crude oil...
Sticky and heavy, it constantly spread outwards, instantly devouring countless nearby asteroids. Beyond just objects, it could even devour light...
No, to be precise, it didn't devour light; it was more like the light, upon reaching the edge of the thick darkness, quickly dissipated and died!
"So that's how it is... Death is a part of life. This is the Death Law derived from the Life Law..."
Tang Ku suddenly realized, and then said in a deep voice, "You restored your body to the prime of youth just to cope with death, because the Death Law not only affects the outside world, but even affects your own body!"
"That's right. Let everything end, death... This is the true meaning of the Death Law, even for me... Everything will have a day when it reaches its end, even the highest-tier creatures... Are you... ready to reach your end?"
Darwin's eyes had also long since turned a deep black, devoid of any emotional color.
"No, you will kill yourself!"
Newton wanted to rush forward, but suddenly found he couldn't move at all, as if he had been tied up by something. He saw Tang Xuan make a 'shush' gesture to him and say, "Watch quietly. Perhaps the result will be different from what you imagine!"
Over there, Darwin had already turned into a meteor, crashing towards Tang Ku...
The thick black liquid instantly enveloped Tang Ku, and a terrifying pressure surged towards him from all directions.
First his clothes, then his pores, seeping from the pores into his skin, from his skin into his muscles, bones, and even his internal organs...
Death, from the surface, penetrated into his cells. Tang Ku could almost feel his body's cells dying off at a very rapid rate...
"The most terrifying aspect of the Death Law? Haha, this is novel... Death as a part of life can indeed be used this way, but don't you think this is putting the cart before the horse? Is your research direction the death of living beings?"
Tang Ku smiled helplessly. Ten Directions Invincible was activated instantly. The Power Law surged out from every inch of his skin and every cell, forcibly pushing the power of the Death Law out of his body.
His body gave a sudden jolt. Except for his clothes, which had been completely devoured by death and turned into fly ash, there wasn't a single scratch on him.
"Darwin, your mindset is flawed, which is why your failure is inevitable..."
Tang Ku formed his left hand into a sword finger and, in a motion that appeared slow but was actually fast, tapped it into the darkness, right on Darwin's forehead!
"Prajna Wisdom Sword, pointing directly at the heart!"
