His handsome bearing had no equal beneath the heavens, his immortal grace and jade-boned poise were magnificent;
A blue crown adorned with star-plucking jade rested on his head; lotus robes set off his dark radiance.
That attire, that bearing—across all the heavens, only one person possessed them.
The Judicial Heavenly Monarch of the Three Realms, Penglai Lingyuan of Xuanmen.
The strange man had seen Lingyuan's face in projected images before, but when the man himself appeared before him, a chill still rose in his heart. Every inch of the Void-Reality Realm lay within his Laws, and everything was within his perception, yet Jiang Sheng had appeared out of nowhere.
Without the slightest warning, Jiang Sheng had simply appeared in the Void-Reality Realm. The flesh-buds and vine-eyes spread throughout it had given no alarm, as though he had grown there from thin air!
The strange man knew exactly what that meant. Jiang Sheng surpassed him in both spiritual perception and techniques and Divine Abilities; he had also suppressed him at the level of Laws. Though the Void-Reality Realm was the strange man's own domain, it had granted Jiang Sheng passage.
Its Laws had long since been tainted, and this world had long since been corrupted. Yet he had sensed nothing of Jiang Sheng's arrival, nor had its Laws or Great Dao given any warning!
Spiritual perception, techniques and Divine Abilities, Laws and the Great Dao—Jiang Sheng surpassed and suppressed him in every respect!
Looking at the seven-foot-tall figure of the Daoist thirty million li away, the strange man hesitated.
"What are you afraid of?! He's thirty million li away. If you strike, the most he can do is kill you to vent his anger."
"Exactly! No matter how powerful Lingyuan is, he can't kill you and save all three of them!"
