Judging by Appearances

Watching the other person's departing figure, Su Yingbo sighed, "He's not inherently bad. He's just afraid to make friends because he doesn't want to drag others down. What an awkward young man. After letting go of his obsession with Yan Jinghong, he seems to have 'cleared the clouds and seen the sun.' He might become the kind of person he despises most in the future."

The following day, several uninvited guests arrived at the palace gates.

Si Ming said, "Sorry, my only skill is capturing the leader to capture the thief."

The guard at the gate said, "What are you talking about? Get out of here! This is the palace, not a park for you to stroll in. You'd better hurry up... You're a wanted criminal on the imperial edict!"

They finally recognized the person. The guards were shocked and immediately pressed the alarm bell, which echoed throughout the palace.

Si Ming ignored the reaction of the guards. Holding the Wheel-Turning King Sword, he circulated his inner energy and leaped into the air.

"One Sword's cold light illuminates the Nine Continents!"

Si Ming poured all his power into his ultimate move without holding back. This was completely different from using his full strength. Due to insufficient control over the enormous energy, a portion of it spilled out, transforming into Sword Qi that shot straight up to the heavens, tearing apart the clouds in the sky.

With One Sword, powerful strike, the sword flashed like a piercing sun or Sword Qi star. Its overwhelming force crashed through the city gate, then continued its relentless advance, destroying everything in its path and leaving deep trenches in the ground. It truly possessed the aura of unstoppable force, capable of slaying gods and Buddhas alike.

This Sword Qi drained all of Si Ming's True Qi, so its aftereffects were exceptionally long-lasting. Given its momentum, it would be normal for it to cleave the entire palace in two if it continued its charge.

However, after the Sword Qi destroyed the three palaces, a huge balance scale, hundreds of meters long, appeared in the sky above the palace, releasing endless divine power and transforming into layers of indestructible, thick air walls.

Despite such fierce resistance, the Sword Qi continued to destroy the two palaces and broke through eighteen layers of qi barriers before finally dissipating.

On the other side, Si Ming descended from the sky, activating the nascent Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace within his body to rapidly absorb the vacuum Zero-Point Energy that filled the void. Moreover, it was midday, with the sun blazing overhead, and the Blazing Yang Battle Art was operating at full speed, rapidly absorbing solar energy.

The two Internal Cultivation methods, with completely different operating principles, do not interfere with each other and operate simultaneously. When Si Ming, whose True Qi was exhausted, fell to the ground, his power had already recovered by 20%.

"Just as rumored, the God of Law Remote Heaven Society. In terms of energy reserves, this guy is even above the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King."

Si Ming's expression was solemn. The power of faith of two hundred million people over a hundred years was truly not for nothing. Fortunately, judging from the attack just now, the God of Law's combat strength was only at the ordinary Spirit Transformation level, and he did not have the martial power commensurate with his Cultivation Body. He was just bloated. Otherwise, Si Ming would have had to change his tactics.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the God of Law is not in charge of combat. Even if He has a law enforcement form, it is only a part-time job, not His main job.

Yan Jinghong said, "Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Si Ming hesitated for a moment, glanced at the God of Law, and could only nod in agreement.

The initial plan was for Si Ming to lure away the enemies guarding the palace, creating an opportunity for Yan Jinghong to capture the kingpin. However, considering that his master's injuries had not yet healed, Si Ming suggested that the two sides exchange tasks, with him going deep into the palace to capture the kingpin. But Yan Jinghong disagreed, as he preferred to see Su Yingbo in person.

However, judging from the current situation, the task of restraining the God of Law is even more dangerous, so Si Ming gave up his idea and took off his bracelet, handing it to Yan Jinghong.

"My task is merely to hold them off; wearing the Profound Armor won't be of much use to me. You should leave it to Master."

If Si Ming he was worried about Yan Jinghong's safety, Yan Jinghong would never have accepted it. But Si Ming that this arrangement would better utilize the Profound Armor, so Yan Jinghong had no reason to refuse. After a moment's thought, she put on the bracelet and rushed into the depths of the palace.

The God of Law attempted to intercept him, Si Ming immediately delivered an Air-Splitting Palm from afar, drawing his attention to him.

"Ha, this is my first time fighting an artificial god. I hope it won't disappoint me."

Si Ming revealed an eager expression, seemingly having forgotten the idea of "restraint."

Chapter 526 Judging by Appearance

Royal tombs.

Standing before the medium-sized Spirit Gathering Formation that had been set up, Shentu Chuang was looking at the instruction manual while fiddling with a mechanical sphere covered in buttons. He was sweating profusely and still completely bewildered. "How do I activate this thing? Why is it spherical? I can't even tell which side is the front and which is the back."

"Are you an idiot? You can't even handle this kind of simple nine-linked puzzle?"

The Spinosaurus Whip Li Shuang, who was waiting impatiently, snatched a mechanical ball and looked for the correct button according to the instruction manual.

"Don't underestimate the nine-linked rings! Out of ten people, probably only one can solve them!"

Shentu Chuang hurriedly defended his intelligence, saying, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I actually love reading. I read all kinds of books, except for instruction manuals. I'm the kind of person who would rather operate something myself than read the manual, no matter what I buy. So it's not that I'm stupid, it's just that this manual is so awful. Couldn't they just paint 'one, two, three, four' on the buttons?"

"The mechanical ball has more than one function, so of course we can't do it that way. Besides, what's so complicated about this thing? Isn't it obvious at a glance?"

As Li Shuang spoke, she pressed seven buttons in quick succession. Immediately afterward, a blue light emanated from the inside of the mechanical sphere, resonating with the Spirit Gathering Formation. It then floated above the Spirit Gathering Formation and began to transform rapidly.

Eventually, the mechanical sphere transformed into something resembling a tripod, upon which rested a pot. At the center of the pot was a green gem. After absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Qi, the gem projected an image upwards—a colossal pillar piercing the clouds.

Shentu Chuang up and clicked his tongue, saying, "Although it's just a phantom, the Divine Pillar of the Su State also seems to be faintly visible, enough to fool the eye. As long as you don't get close, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake."

Li Shuang said, "In the end, there is very little information about the Four Heavenly Divine Pillars. Nobody knows anything about them. Even if you put two Divine Pillar, one real and one fake, in front of you, you wouldn't be able to tell which one is the fake."

"That makes sense, hopefully it will fool someone..." Shentu Chuang's expression suddenly changed, and he laughed, "Alright, it seems the fooled customer has already arrived."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a long, icy spear hurtled through the air. Shentu Chuang quickly swung his sword to parry, and with a clang, the spear was knocked back.

A graceful white figure drifted in, catching the rebounding spear; it was Ling Huanxi.

"Huh, you're the only one here? Yan Jinghong and his disciple aren't here either?" Shentu Chuang his spiritual sense but couldn't detect any other Spirit Transformation level auras.

"That's enough to deal with you."

Ling Huanxi charged forward with her gun, bringing with her a chilling aura that caused the water vapor in the air to freeze and turn into swirling white snowflakes, resembling a white dragon flying low over the snowfield.

"The Yin and Yang Connect the Yao Images!"

Fearing that the opponent would see through the illusion of the Divine Pillar once they got close, Shentu Chuang immediately unleashed his ultimate move. Cross-shaped blade energy intertwined, and a point of light gradually brightened, constantly swirling and pressing out in all directions. The yin and yang blade energy formed a mixed current that shattered the ice and snow. The nine-ringed golden blade pressed down on the ice and snow spear and sped all the way, pushing Ling Huanxi a thousand meters away.

Li Shuang took off the thorny whip from her waist and was about to chase after them to help when suddenly a thunderous blade of energy rushed straight towards her face. She quickly swung her whip to block it.

With a "crack," the thunderous blade energy shattered, revealing He Qichang's figure. He paused slightly, then recovered and immediately launched a rapid attack.

"So it was you, you brat. Last time you were lucky enough to hold out until my injuries flared up, but this time no one can help you."
