639: Chapter 639 Controlling the Universe

[But you give her the feeling of being an old acquaintance.]

["Who exactly are you?" she narrowed her eyes.]

[You did not answer, only smiled.]

[That smile held too much—the hatred of being raised as livestock by her Liu Clan, the hatred of being slaughtered as an ant by her Liu Clan, the hatred of having your clan exterminated by her Liu Clan.]

[Liu Xuerong stared at you, silent for a long time.]

[Then she smiled.]

[It was not a happy smile, not a relieved smile, but a kind of smile that recognized your hatred, a smile that understood the Dao and resentment spoken of by Venerable Cang Xuan.]

["Very well, this Venerable will grant you a dignified end."]

[After speaking, her figure moved, and the next moment she was suspended in the starry sky ten thousand miles away, looking down at you.]

[Your figure moved, and you stood in the air ten thousand feet away from her.]

[You had already made up your mind.]

[The first move, only defense.]

[It is not because you are cowardly—it is because you want to test just how deep she truly is.]

[You also want to see how much of a gap remains between yourself and her.]

[If you cannot even defend against it, then the ultimate result will still be death.]

[You are very clear—an Integration Stage Cultivator before a Mahayana is like a Nascent Soul encountering a Soul Transformation.]

[The first threshold for a Cultivator is Qi Refining; because of Spiritual Roots, there is a distinction between immortals and mortals.]

[The second threshold is Soul Transformation, because one can mobilize Law Power.]

[The third threshold is Mahayana, because one can mobilize the Power of the Great Dao.]

[Suddenly, Xuantian's voice rang in your mind, sounding a bit nervous: "Master, how about we run? I will accelerate, I guarantee she won't be able to catch up."]

[You ignored it.]

[Run? And then what after running?]

[This time, you do not intend to run.]

[You intend to completely shatter the face of the Heavenly Palace.]

[Moreover, you also want to see—can the chaos cloak truly withstand a Mahayana?]

[The chaos cloak can isolate Chaos Qi; no matter how strong Liu Xuerong is, can she be stronger than Chaos Qi?]

[Not necessarily.]

[But right now, you can only take a gamble.]

[If you cannot defend, then death is certain; thinking more is useless, you can only wait for the next life to honestly achieve a Mahayana Breakthrough.]

[If you do defend, not only will the Heavenly Palace's Luck be greatly reduced, but you can also become an honored guest of the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan.]

[You take a deep breath, your mind moves, and you mobilize hundreds of strands of Law Power, circulating them layer by layer around your body, like a silkworm spinning a cocoon, wrapping you up tightly.]

[At the same time, you mobilize that wisp of Origin of Chaos deep within your Dantian.]

[The moment it is activated, the chaos cloak seems to wake from a slumber, pressing against your skin and becoming slightly hot, as Xuan-Huang Qi begins to circulate around your body.]

[Is it enough? You do not know.]

[But you are very stirred up, and very excited.]

[After all, this time is different from the last simulation—last time, Liu Xuerong was only a Divine Thought Clone, yet she had such strong power.]

[This is Liu Xuerong's true body.]

[Her true body came personally, also because you are the number one person below the Mahayana stage.]

[Liu Xuerong raises an eyebrow, looking at you coldly, as if looking at a dying insect.]

[She looks at the four hundred plus Law Power shields circulating around you, and merely smiles contemptuously.]

[She is a Mahayana stage expert; the Law Power she masters is many times yours, so your defense is a joke to her.]

[But she notices the Xuan-Huang Qi circulating around you, and her eyebrows twitch slightly.]

["Origin of Chaos?"]

["No wonder you dare to oppose my Heavenly Palace; you think that with a little Opportunity, you can shake my Heavenly Palace?"]

[After speaking, she slowly raises her hand, opens her five fingers, and then clenches her fist.]

["Palm Overlord of Heaven and Earth."]

[Four words, spoken lightly.]

[The moment her words fall, you feel like you have been thrown into a millstone.]

[Tens of millions of miles of the Void Realm are all within her palm.]

[An invisible giant palm reaches out from the void, its five fingers like mountains, its palm lines like abysses.]

[You can even "see" the patterns of those palm lines—not seeing, but feeling them, pressing down on your Soul, heavy and weighty.]

[The Void Realm begins to collapse.]

[The space for tens of millions of miles around is like a paper ball grasped by someone, twisted fiercely.]

[Heaven and Earth begin to spin.]

[The stars are spinning, the Void Realm is spinning.]

[You cannot distinguish up, down, left, or right, you cannot distinguish east, west, south, or north.]

[Your stomach is churning, your brain is buzzing, as if you have been stuffed into a spinning cage.]

[Space Laws are like chains, surging from all directions, entangling your limbs, waist, and neck, twisting your body and tearing it in opposite directions.]

[It is as if the entire Heaven and Earth are flipping in her palm, and you are just an ant in her palm that cannot escape.]

[This feeling reminds you of a long time ago—the feeling of oppression when facing Liu Ruyan, completely unable to fight back.]

[The same powerlessness.]

[The same suffocation.]

[The same feeling of being held in someone's palm, able to be crushed to death at any moment.]

[Your fists clench involuntarily.]

[Liu Xuerong's mouth corners curl up slightly.]

[She likes this feeling.]

[When she was weak, she was accustomed to living under others' shadow; after she achieved the Mahayana Breakthrough, she changed her past ways, becoming ruthless, decisive, and heartless.]

[Her palm slowly closes, and the space in all directions begins to compress—not pushing, but squeezing, like squeezing an egg.]

[The Law Power shields around you, the cocoon woven from hundreds of strands of Law Power, are like paper in front of that power.]

["Crack—"]

[The first layer shatters.]

["Crack—"]

[The second layer, the third layer...]

[The sound of shattering is as dense as popping beans; every sound explodes in your ears, every sound makes your heart beat faster.]

[Your chest begins to feel stuffy, and breathing begins to become difficult—it is not just that there is no air in your lungs, it is that the space itself is squeezing you, even the air has been squeezed away, even the Spiritual Qi has been squeezed away, even the light has been squeezed away.]

[You feel as if you have been stuffed into an iron box that is shrinking.]

[Your bones are creaking.]

[Your muscles are tearing.]

[Blood seeps from the corners of your mouth; you do not even know when you bit your lip.]

[Xuantian shouts inside you: "Master! If it's not working, retreat!"]

[You ignored it.]

[You grit your teeth, fully mobilizing that wisp of Origin of Chaos, as thin as a hair, deep within your Dantian.]

[Using the power of the Origin of Chaos, you activate the chaos cloak.]

[The chaos cloak hums within you, and Xuan-Huang Qi instantly explodes, like a flower blooming within you, its petals layered, wrapping your entire person within it.]

[That feeling of oppression—vanishes.]

[It did not weaken; it disappeared.]

[That feeling of suffocation—dissipates.]

[That force that was going to wring you to pieces—stops.]

[The Space Law chains are still there, but they can no longer tighten.]

[Liu Xuerong's hand pauses for a moment.]

[She looks at her palm, feeling that her palm has grasped something—hard, abrasive, and impossible to crush no matter what.]

[She frowns.]

[This is not right.]

[She has never seen an Integration Stage Cultivator able to withstand Palm Overlord of Heaven and Earth.]

[Not a single one.]

[She loosens her hand.]

[The feeling of Heaven and Earth spinning recedes like the tide.]

[You gasp for air, sweat from your forehead dripping down the bridge of your nose, the clothes on your back soaked through, sticking to your skin, ice-cold.]

[Your hands are shaking—not because you are afraid, but because your muscles are spasming.]
