No Sword Falls Apart, Destruction Law

Everyone's expressions shifted in shock, including Styx.

Because all of them could sense that No Sword was nearly on the verge of shattering.

This kind of shattering was different from the controlled separation Styx had initiated.

This shattering was passive, beyond Styx's control! In this process, all of No Sword's power would be released!

The might of a Connate Supreme Treasure needed no elaboration—let alone the Quasi-Sages present, even if Hongjun himself were here, he'd have a rough time of it.

Laozi and the others dared not press on; they all withdrew their power, extremely cautious, to avoid being caught in the blast.

But Styx was different.

No Sword was formed from his Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords, and it still bore his Law power.

If it shattered like this, his spiritual treasure's origin would surely be damaged, and he'd be in for a massive loss!

He charged forward. Laozi silently called him a fool, but also realized that with Styx rushing in, they had an opening to escape.

The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda appeared above Laozi's head, radiating Xuanhuang Energy to shield him, Yuanshi, and Tongtian.

Seeing this, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti moved closer to the Three Pure Ones on their own.

They had no defensive spiritual treasures, and their strength fell short of the Three Pure Ones.

If something went wrong, having the Three Pure Ones nearby would at least provide some extra security.

Laozi said nothing to this, simply flying away from the area.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti quickly followed.

Only after they had flown far beyond the southern Earth Realm did they feel they had escaped that deadly danger.

Jie Yin's face was full of bitterness: "Daoist Laozi, if we leave like this, aren't we just letting Styx go?"

Their purpose in coming was to kill Styx, but instead of achieving that goal, they were all fleeing in disgrace.

Laozi remained unmoved, only saying: "If you think you have the ability to survive the impact of No Sword shattering, then go back."

Jie Yin sighed: "But then, the saint's orders won't be fulfilled."

The Three Pure Ones were relatively calm, but Jie Yin and Zhun Ti took this task very seriously.

After all, the saint seeking them out was an opportunity.

If they could latch onto a saint's coattails through this, why would they worry about revitalizing the Western Lands?

Yuanshi said: "I doubt Styx can escape the might of No Sword shattering either. If he dies by his own No Sword, then we've fulfilled the saint's commission."

"That's true."

Everyone tacitly ignored the possibility that Styx might survive No Sword's shattering.

Because the sheer force of No Sword's collapse still made their hearts pound with fear.

If Styx really could survive it, then they didn't think they could kill such a powerful Styx anyway.

Could Styx survive it?

The answer was definitely yes.

After all, he was the protagonist.

Styx now dared not take out the Profound Origin Water Control Flag or the Karma Fire Red Lotus—before a Connate Supreme Treasure like No Sword, those two weren't even worth mentioning.

His left hand released Creation Power to wrap around his body, shielding him from the chaotic Sword Qi. His right hand forcibly unleashed Destruction Power to cancel out No Sword's excess Creation Power.

As long as the Creation Power and Destruction Power on No Sword were rebalanced, it would naturally calm down.

But.

Styx's Destruction Power was currently only at ten percent, while his Creation Power had been comprehended to forty-five percent.

Using this method to calm No Sword not only drained him heavily but also had to be done quickly!

No Sword's forced shattering trend grew more pronounced, and Styx's actions could only slow it down.

Worse still, the uncontrolled No Sword's every swing sent out powerful Sword Qi that kept shattering the surrounding space.

Styx saw the area around him was almost a complete mess—spiritual flowers, herbs, and roots had all withered.

Left with no choice, Styx had to gamble!

If this continued, he would likely lose his No Sword entirely.

Yuantu and Abi were his companion spiritual treasures, perfectly suited to him!

If he lost them, who knew when he'd find replacements.

Styx forcibly drove the Destruction Law within him, even converting his Creation Law into Destruction Law using spiritual energy!

This move sharply boosted Styx's aura, and even the killing intent radiating from No Sword's wild swings began to surge into Styx's body.

The Destruction Law loosened!

Styx was overjoyed!

Eleven percent!

One part in ten!

The influx of killing intent pushed Styx's comprehension of the Destruction Law directly to two parts in ten!

Styx couldn't help but sigh—after all, it was only in the midst of destruction that one could best comprehend it.

As his understanding of the Destruction Law deepened, Styx accelerated the release of Destruction Power, finally beginning to suppress No Sword's rampage.

Seeing that No Sword was about to calm down, Styx finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could relax, the space around him suddenly began to collapse!

This place, after all, couldn't withstand the frenzied assault of a Connate Supreme Treasure—it shattered!

Styx only felt the surrounding space twist violently, as if the entire fabric of time and space was being turned upside down.

He tried to steady himself against the crumbling space, but after the collapse, an abyss suddenly appeared.

This abyss seemed to possess an endless suction force, directly pulling Styx inside!

After that, Styx fell downward endlessly, surrounded by nothing but darkness.

He didn't know how long he had been falling until he finally felt himself land on solid ground.

Styx stomped on the ground—it was hard, solid.

He tried activating his spiritual treasures, and they all worked.

This meant it wasn't some completely isolated secret realm cut off from the Primordial Wilderness; he should still be within the Primordial Wilderness, not transported to some strange place by a spatial rift.

That put Styx somewhat at ease.

As long as he was still inside the Primordial Wilderness, Styx was confident he could retreat unscathed.

He began to investigate this secret realm.

And when he did, he got a massive shock!

The qi surrounding him here was one Styx was extremely familiar with—Demon Qi!

But even on Wu Mo's body, Styx had never sensed such dense Demon Qi.

And clearly, this place had never been discovered before.

A place undiscovered by anyone, filled with dense Demon Qi.

What this place was, was almost self-evident.

The Demon Country!

Legend had it that after the Dao-Devil War ended, Rahula was defeated. But Rahula swore an oath: the Dao wanes and the Demon waxes—the Demonic Path would one day emerge again!

So after the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, the Three Teachings of the Dao declined, the Western Lands betrayed the Dao to establish Buddhism, the Dao's fortune plummeted, and the Demonic Path emerged.

It even clashed with Buddhism, regarded as another calamity after the Journey to the West Calamity—the Buddha-Demon Calamity.

And this Demon Country shouldn't have appeared in the world yet; This Humble One had stumbled into it by accident.

Styx grew excited.
