Chapter 122 Words become law, stars fall like rain

Ouyang Shuo pointed a finger skyward, invoking the Laws of Heaven and Earth!

In an instant, the sky changed color, and stars appeared in broad daylight! Countless dazzling illusory star projections emerged under the clear blue sky, reflecting his majestic and righteous Qi, emanating a magnificent heavenly might!

"Sky Patrol Secret Canon: Star Law Edict!"

He spoke true words, each syllable seemingly containing the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth, stirring the Power of the Stars throughout the cosmos!

"Seal!"

With a single word, the Law followed the words!

The space within a hundred zhang radius around Nightmare instantly solidified, as if turning into invisible amber, intending to freeze and Seal him along with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within it! This was a Divine Ability even more profound and abstruse than the Demon Suppressing Seal previously displayed by the Green Shirt Guest, directly invoking the Law of the Stars, with words following the Law, to Seal everything!

Below, Moyuan, Su Wanqing, and all the Ye Yan Palace Disciples suddenly felt a suffocating sensation, as if even their thoughts were about to freeze, and their hearts were filled with extreme horror! The methods of a Late-Stage Transformation Spirit grand Cultivator were indeed world-shattering!

However, Nightmare, at the center of the Seal, still had calm eyes, even carrying a hint of faint mockery.

"Words Follow the Law? Star Edict? Unfortunately, what you've invoked is merely ownerless Star Power, merely having its form, but not its spirit."

He simply raised his hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and in his palm, the star source core obtained from the Star Palace's ancient formation glowed faintly.

"True stars should be like this."

Buzz!

A more ancient, purer, and seemingly Origin-derived vast power emanated from Nightmare's palm! The Power of the Stars invoked by Ouyang Shuo, which had attempted to Seal him, upon sensing this Origin power, instantly became incredibly docile, as if a subject meeting their monarch. The powerful Seal force crumbled in an instant, and instead, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, it converged towards Nightmare's palm!

"What?!" Ouyang Shuo's face changed drastically, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes! "You… you can actually control the Star Origin?! This is impossible!"

His Star Law Edict was a secret technique of the Sky Patrol Alliance, using secret methods to invoke the Power of the Stars throughout the cosmos, possessing infinite might. He had never heard of anyone being able to break it so easily, let alone seize control of it!

"A frog in a well, how can it know the vastness of the Heavenly River?" Nightmare sneered, and the Power of the Stars gathered in his palm suddenly erupted!

"Returning it to you!"

He abruptly pushed out a palm! That vast Power of the Stars was not simply returned; instead, it integrated the profundity of rule fragments and the corrosive properties of Myriad Poison Demonic Essence, transforming into a dazzling yet deadly torrent of starlight, reversing the sky and striking back at Ouyang Shuo!

Ouyang Shuo was startled but not flustered; after all, he was a Late-Stage Transformation Spirit grand Cultivator with extremely rich combat experience. He abruptly formed hand Seals, and a huge light shield, inscribed with star runes, appeared before him!

"Defend!"

The torrent of starlight violently slammed into the light shield, erupting with dazzling brilliance. Terrifying energy ripples swept in all directions, completely tearing apart the clouds in the sky!

The light shield trembled violently, and the runes flickered erratically, but it ultimately blocked this counterattack.

However, before Ouyang Shuo could catch his breath, Nightmare's figure had already, like a ghost, pierced through the center of the energy explosion and appeared before him!

The speed was extreme! As if ignoring spatial distance!

"Such speed!" Ouyang Shuo's pupils contracted again. He quickly activated the jade chariot's defensive Restriction, and at the same time, pointed a finger out rapidly, his fingertip condensing highly compressed righteous Qi, aiming it at Nightmare's glabella!

Nightmare neither dodged nor evaded; he simply punched out!

The punch was silent, yet it contained terrifying power capable of shattering the Void Realm and destroying all Laws! On the fist's edge, the power of rule fragments was hidden, the power of the star source core was amplified, and Myriad Poison Demonic Essence was contained within!

Fist and finger met!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an ultimate collision and annihilation at the Law level!

Crack!

A faint sound, like shattering glass, echoed!

Ouyang Shuo's finger, condensed with majestic righteous Qi, visibly twisted and deformed at a speed discernible to the naked eye! The excruciating pain of shattered finger bones made him grunt, and his body staggered backward abruptly, the jade chariot beneath his feet groaning under the unbearable burden!

Yet Nightmare's punch continued undiminished, directly striking the jade chariot's defensive light barrier!

Boom!

The ornate and sturdy jade chariot violently shook, its light barrier instantly dimmed, and countless cracks appeared on its surface! The nine Moon-Gazing Rhinos pulling the chariot let out terrified neighs!

"You?!" Ouyang Shuo was both shocked and enraged, utterly unable to accept it! In close combat, he was actually completely at a disadvantage?! The opponent's strength, speed, and Physical Body intensity completely exceeded the scope of a Mid-stage Dao Replenishing Cultivator!

"Is this all the Sky Patrol Envoy of the Sky Patrol Alliance is capable of?" Nightmare, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy, launching an assault like a torrential storm!

Fists, palms, fingers, legs… every part of his body transformed into the most terrifying weapon! Attacks imbued with the power of rules were everywhere, sometimes turning into blades that ripped through space, sometimes into cold tides that froze the Void Realm, and sometimes stirring up Star Evil Qi to corrode the Divine Soul!

His fighting style completely exceeded Ouyang Shuo's comprehension, being bizarre and unpredictable, yet possessing unparalleled power!

Ouyang Shuo was forced to respond with all his might, deploying various secret techniques and Divine Abilities of the Sky Patrol Alliance to their maximum. Star Law Edicts continuously emerged from his mouth, transforming into various Seals, attacks, and defensive measures: Star Light Swords, Righteous Chains, Sky Guarding Divine Shields… appearing endlessly!

For a time, high in the sky, two figures collided wildly at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye! Star light and dark Devilish Qi intertwined and exploded, Law ripples continuously spread, and deafening roars resounded through Heaven and Earth, as if the end of the world had arrived!

The crowd below had long been dumbfounded, their minds shaken beyond measure!

What did they see? Their Palace Master, with Mid-stage Dao Replenishing cultivation, was actually suppressing and beating the Late-Stage Transformation Spirit Patrol Envoy of the Sky Patrol Alliance?! And with this most direct, most ferocious close-quarters combat style!

This simply overturned their understanding!

Moyuan trembled with excitement, Su Wanqing's beautiful eyes shone with brilliance, and all the Ye Yan Palace Disciples were invigorated, incredibly excited!

In contrast, the silver-armored guards all had pale faces, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The more Ouyang Shuo fought, the more alarmed he became, and the more aggrieved he felt! He possessed Late-Stage Transformation Spirit cultivation and numerous powerful Divine Abilities, yet he was completely suppressed by the opponent's bizarre power and incredibly strong Physical Body, unable to unleash his due power! Instead, he was occasionally hit by attacks containing the power of rules. Although he barely managed to block them due to his profound cultivation, his Qi and blood churned, and his magical power consumption was immense!

"I can't let this continue!" A decisive and pained look flashed in Ouyang Shuo's eyes.

He abruptly forced Nightmare back a step, and a simple bronze token suddenly appeared in his hand! On the token, an ancient character "Xun" was engraved, emanating a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a Spirit Treasure!

"Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure?! Sky Patrol Token!" An experienced old Cultivator below exclaimed in surprise!

Ouyang Shuo spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the token and fiercely sacrificed it!

"Please, Sacred Artifact! Sky Patrol Mirror Image, suppress and kill evil demons!"

Boom!

The bronze token grew with the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal ancient mirror illusion that blotted out the sky! Under the mirror's light, it seemed capable of piercing through all illusions in the world, illuminating the Origin of all things! A pure and ultimate divine light, containing supreme judgment, like a heavenly punishment, shot out from the mirror, locking onto Nightmare, and descended with a roar!

The power of this strike had already reached the peak of the Late-Stage Transformation Spirit! It even touched the threshold of Soul Transformation Perfection!

This was Ouyang Shuo's trump card, the strongest strike unleashed by relying on the Sacred Artifact projection! He was confident that no matter how bizarre the opponent was, they would absolutely be unable to resist!

Facing this world-destroying strike, Nightmare's eyes finally showed a hint of solemnity, but still no fear.

"Sacred Artifact projection? A bit interesting."

He did not dodge, but instead abruptly clasped his hands together in front of him!

"Star Nirvana: Demonic Abyss!"

The power of rule fragments was fully activated! The star source core shone brightly! Myriad Poison Demonic Essence surged and roared!

In front of him, the Void Realm suddenly collapsed, as if transforming into a dark abyss that devoured everything! Within the abyss, scenes of stars annihilating flickered, and endless demonic poison surged!

That magnificent mirror light, capable of suppressing and killing a Late-Stage Transformation Spirit, fiercely shot into this dark abyss!

There was no explosion, no roar.

The mirror light was like a clay ox entering the sea, actually being swallowed, annihilated, and decomposed by the dark abyss little by little!

In just an instant, the infinitely powerful mirror light was completely devoured!

And the dark abyss slowly dissipated, revealing Nightmare's unharmed figure behind it.

"How is this possible?!" Ouyang Shuo was struck by lightning, his face pale, screaming in disbelief, his Dao Heart almost collapsing! Even the strongest strike of a Sacred Artifact projection was so easily neutralized by the opponent?!

Just as his mind faltered!

Nightmare moved!

He pointed his fingers like a sword, the power of rule fragments condensed at his fingertips, transforming into a gray, inconspicuous Sword Qi, instantly crossing the Void Realm and pointing towards the colossal ancient mirror illusion!

Hiss!

The Sword Qi struck the mirror surface!

That powerful Sacred Artifact projection, like a popped bubble, violently twisted, and then exploded with a roar, transforming back into the bronze token, wailing as it flew back into Ouyang Shuo's hand, its spiritual light dim, and even a faint crack appearing on its surface!

With his life-bound Magic Treasure damaged, Ouyang Shuo immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood, his aura instantly weakening!

Defeated!

Completely defeated!

He had used all his means, even employing a Sacred Artifact projection, yet he was still miserably defeated by a Mid-stage Dao Replenishing Cultivator!

This result was unacceptable to him, and filled him with endless fear and absurdity!

Nightmare stood with his hands behind his back in the Void Realm, his black robe fluttering, his gaze coldly fixed on the heavily injured and dazed Ouyang Shuo.

"Patrol Envoy Ouyang, now, do you still want This Sovereign to give you an explanation?"
