Today's third update: Chapter 2971! 3/4!
Mo Chou stepped forward. No earth-shattering aura erupted from his body; instead, he was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, sending out silent ripples.
Space around him subtly twisted and folded, as though it could not withstand some invisible Heavy Pressure.
Unlike Yanran or Erh, he did not manifest an enormous Law, Heaven, and Earth.
Yet an overwhelming sense of "presence," far more terrifying than any physical Dharma body, rose from where he stood.
It was not light, not blazing fire, nor the weight of towering mountains.
It was... the embodiment of sound.
Countless indistinguishable, incomprehensible notes condensed and flowed through the void, ultimately converging into a dark silhouette as deep as an abyss.
The outline was blurry, without defined edges, like a mass of thick ink endlessly writhing and shifting, or a colossal shadow formed from countless twisted runes.
It hovered soundlessly behind Mo Chou, occupying that stretch of space and radiating a chill and deathly stillness capable of freezing souls and crushing wills.
This was Mo Chou's Law, Heaven, and Earth—the ultimate manifestation of the Demon Sound Totem.
It was not a corporeal form, but the "manifestation" produced when formless demonic sound condensed to its ultimate limit and interfered with the laws of reality!
Sound itself had become part of the Heaven and Earth Laws!
Erh's pupils suddenly contracted, as though pierced by invisible needles.
He felt as if an icy hand had seized his heart, every beat bringing tearing pain.
No attack had landed on him, yet the natural pressure radiated by that silent demonic sound manifestation directly bore down upon his Soul Origin!
The Black Tortoise armor he had been so proud of, capable of withstanding ten thousand bolts of thunder, now seemed like a useless ornament.
