149: Chapter 149 Rules

Underground.

A whole hall made of silver-white metal.

In the center of the hall stood three pillars.

A rune floated above each pillar.

The runes were profound, composed entirely of silver-white lightning.

On the floor were dense, intricate patterns of small lines.

All of this formed a special Seal.

"Dense Thunder Barrier"!

Within this barrier, the air was heavy and as thick as honey.

And a figure, eyes tightly closed, was currently suspended in this thick air.

Asma looked at the figure in the barrier and sighed with emotion.

"Even someone as strong as you, Monag, would actually fail so unexpectedly!"

"And you've been Sealed for nearly two hundred years!"

"But it is precisely because you were Sealed that my Planet Draiden could have a chance to breathe."

Determination showed in Asma's eyes.

"Now, continue your slumber; we will release you when we need you!"

Currently, a new Peak Legendary of the Pansi Civilization is purging Monag's influence.

As the saying goes, every new emperor brings his own court.

Monag was known as the most talented warrior of the Pansi Civilization and the one with the most hope of a Breakthrough to the Saint Rank.

Even the most recently born Peak Legendary took Monag as a role model.

But.

Sometimes, the inherent flaws of intelligent beings are unavoidable.

Even though that new Peak took Monag as a role model, after tasting power, he also developed selfish motives.

He was in no hurry to rescue Monag; instead, he stabilized most of the people in the Pansi Civilization.

This is the fundamental reason why the Blue Star Civilization is still able to trap Monag even after two hundred years.

Now, that new Peak has suppressed Monag's faction to the point where they can barely breathe.

Because of this, the veterans of Monag's faction are thinking of rescuing him.

This is also why the Ruler sent Asma.

On one hand, to see how Monag's Seal is holding up and to be careful not to let him be rescued.

On the other hand, to tamper with the Seal.

If the new Peak becomes too powerful and unifies everyone's thinking later, then the Seal can be directly detonated to release Monag.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it can be dismantled from within.

At that time, if Monag appeared, he would definitely oppose the new Peak.

The Pansi Civilization might even split because of it.

Of course.

The timing must be perfect.

Releasing him too early won't work, and releasing him too late won't work either.

Asma silently looked at Monag, whose eyes were tightly shut.

He had also grown up hearing of Monag's great reputation.

He was once an invincible man, yet now, after his first defeat, he had been Sealed for so long.

Asma stepped forward and stood in front of a silver-white pillar.

Runes floated on the pillar.

The Dense Thunder Barrier was actually a type of Sealing Formation of the Draiden Star Civilization.

Back then, Monag was defeated, but the Blue Star Civilization could do nothing to him.

In the end, the Ruler established contact with Blue Star.

And thus, Monag was Sealed.

The Dense Thunder Barrier could generate a special field, causing the Sealed one to fall into a deep slumber.

This kind of slumber is essentially impossible to wake from voluntarily.

Unless there is external stimulation.

Because of this, after descending to this underground area, Asma withdrew his spirit.

For fear of stimulating the slumbering Monag.

"Sleep, continue to sleep! You shall wake only when I call you."

Asma sighed softly, mourning for the invincible king.

But his hand unhesitatingly lit up with a glow the size of a grain of rice.

The glow split into three and drifted toward the three runes.

However.

Just then.

Asma seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked back.

At the entrance, a person from Blue Star was standing silently.

"Hmm?!"

Asma's brows furrowed.

"Are you a guardian!?"

He asked slowly.

This underground place was a place of Sealing; only a guardian should be able to come down easily.

But what Asma found strange was that he had used his spirit to probe the underground before coming down and hadn't sensed any additional life force.

He had even probed the surface.

This person's sudden appearance took him by surprise.

As soon as Asma finished speaking, he saw the person opposite him slowly shake his head.

And then take two light steps forward.

"As the saying goes, a guest from afar is welcome, but isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?!"

Ji Yebai said unhurriedly.

"What's inappropriate? I'm just checking the Seal!"

Asma looked at the person in front of him dismissively.

He extended a thread of Mental Energy and scanned the person ahead.

He didn't sense even a hint of a warrior's aura.

He must be just an ordinary guardian.

Of course, even if he were a strong person, Asma wouldn't care.

In the entire Blue Star Civilization, so far, only Bai Zhu has been holding things up.

Although Bai Zhu currently has the strength of a High-level Legendary.

But don't forget, two hundred years ago, Bai Zhu used the strength of a mid-level Legendary to forcefully erupt and suppress Monag.

His current High-level Legendary strength is likely no weaker than a Peak Legendary.

A Peak Legendary is truly the strongest creature on the surface, capable of changing the course of a war.

Because of this, the Blue Star Civilization gained corresponding respect.

Aside from Bai Zhu, the strongest in the entire Blue Star Civilization are only mid-level Legendaries.

Ranks one to three are low-level, four to six are mid-level, and seven to nine are high-level.

Bai Zhu is at the eighth rank, while the strongest warrior on Blue Star besides him is only at the fifth rank.

Although the fifth rank is also called mid-level, the Draiden Star Civilization can find people at this level anywhere.

Because of this.

It could be said that aside from Bai Zhu, Asma is invincible.

Of course, the uniqueness of the Blue Star Civilization's cultivation cannot be ruled out.

Perhaps there are others who can erupt with combat power far exceeding their current stage, just like Bai Zhu did back then.

But as the youngest High-level Legendary of the Draiden Star Civilization, Asma also has his own pride and ultimate Moves.

Besides, after observing Blue Star's cultivation methods during this time, he had basically figured out the situation.

He really didn't have much wariness toward the Blue Star Civilization.

Blue Star's martial arts cultivation involves integrating spirit and energy into the flesh to stimulate life stages.

But doing so meant they had very little research on the mental aspect.

Because of this, even though they suppressed Monag back then, they could do nothing to him.

"Whether it is or not, don't you know in your own heart!?"

Ji Yebai smiled and walked forward lightly.

"Whether it is or not, what does it matter!?"

Asma sighed softly.

A wisp of light lit up at his fingertip.

His finger tapped forward gently.

The speed looked slow, but it was actually as fast as lightning.

This finger seemed to cross space, appearing directly before Ji Yebai's brow.

This was the Light of Mental Energy.

It was Asma's specialty.

He didn't mobilize large-scale energy to prevent Monag from being startled awake.

Nor did he choose a lethal Move; instead, he activated this Light of Mental Energy.

He intended to erase this person's memory.

In this way, he wouldn't cause a big commotion or disturb the Blue Star Civilization government.

Otherwise, if the guardian died, he would surely be the first one suspected.

Asma appeared before Ji Yebai like lightning, pointing toward his forehead.

He didn't care much at all.

With his speed, he didn't believe the person in front of him could dodge it.

He hadn't even entertained such a thought.

However.

Things were just that strange.

His lightning-fast finger actually missed.

Asma's eyes suddenly widened.

Before he could react.

A flame appeared before his eyes.

A pure orange flame wreathed a finger, pointing straight at his forehead.

The flame was extremely pure.

But that wasn't what caught Asma's attention.

As soon as the flame appeared, his Soul trembled violently.

As if it had encountered something peerlessly terrifying.

Not only that.

A heavy pressure appeared on him, as if from the vast heavens and earth.

Asma's face suddenly turned pale.

By now, he would be a fool if he didn't realize that the person in front of him far surpassed him in strength.

But unfortunately, even though he knew.

And tried desperately to dodge.

His body simply couldn't dodge; he couldn't Move an inch.

Thud!

Under Asma's pale gaze, the finger wreathed in flames pointed straight at his forehead.

In an instant.

A strange power surged into his body.

The moment this strange power entered his body, it transformed into chains.

The High-level Legendary power within him, enough to blow up a steel battleship, was instantly bound.

Not just his power, but even his strong and proud Mental Energy was locked away.

A unique aura even emanated from the chains within his body.

This aura alone turned the energy in his body into a dead sea, incredibly heavy.

"This... this is..."

Sensing this aura, Asma stood frozen on the spot.

He struggled to lift his head and looked at Ji Yebai, his whole body trembling.

He trembled incessantly, his face pale and defeated, completely devoid of his former High-level Legendary composure.

"L... Law..."
