Polluted Strange Divine Law, Obtaining Divine Law Fragment

As the little girl's voice rang out.

Li Yue felt a trace of power, eerie yet similar to the Divine Law, coiling toward him.

How does it feel...

Is this another kind of Divine Law?

He sensed the strands of law coiling around him and raised an eyebrow.

Could it be—

The power wielded by the Evil Spirits is the original Divine Law of this world?

But how could the Divine Law, which should have protected the world, turn into such bizarre and peerless Evil Spirits?

As for the Divine Law mastered by them, the gods of Blue Star.

Its source does not belong to this world.

Instead, it comes from the "mastermind" who caused their transmigration.

Of course—

The "mastermind" only gave them seeds; what kind of Divine Law flowers they could bloom in this world depended entirely on themselves.

"The Divine Law is based on the human path."

"Without the human path, there is no Divine Law."

"But the Evil Spirits are not only bizarre, they also slaughter the human race..."

"Does such a Divine Law exist in this world?"

"Or rather—"

"Has it been corrupted?"

"But what kind of thing could possibly corrupt the Divine Law?"

Li Yue murmured in his heart.

He reached out and beckoned, and the strands of eerie law converging toward him were instantly restrained, falling into his hand to condense into a pale white thread.

The pale thread writhed in his palm, like a living nematode trying to escape.

Li Yue's gaze flickered.

A burst of divine power emerged from his hand and slammed into the pale thread formed by the eerie law.

Suddenly—

The pale thread stiffened, and as the divine power merged into it, it shed its pale white color bit by bit, transforming into a brilliant, pure white.

"This is—"

Li Yue was astonished.

He had only tried to purify it with divine power out of curiosity.

He never expected—

This eerie law was actually purified by his divine power!

No—

It wasn't purification—

It was that the divine power had activated the original power of the law, annihilating the eerie force infused within it and returning it to its true state!

"Divine Law Fragment!"

"This is a Divine Law Fragment!"

Li Yue's eyes shone with intense light.

His previous intuition had been correct.

These Evil Spirits truly contained a trace of the power of the Divine Law!

It was simply corrupted by an unknown, eerie force, which turned them into Evil Spirits!

Now, encountering divine power was like a long drought meeting sweet dew; it immediately activated the inherent majesty of the Divine Law, annihilating the infused eerie force!

He had originally thought.

That to obtain "Divine Law Fragments," one could only kill other Blue Star gods during the "God War."

He never imagined—

That the Evil Spirits of this world actually contained the power of the Divine Law!

Divine Law Fragments—

These were the essential items for conferring titles upon Subordinate Gods.

As long as he possessed enough Divine Law Fragments, he could confer titles upon Subordinate Gods.

Even if he didn't use them to confer titles upon Subordinate Gods.

Divine Law Fragments are also quite precious items, capable of being exchanged for a significant amount of divine power in the Deity Shop!

"Big Brother—"

"Ayin will count to ten, then come find you—"

"Big Brother, hurry and hide, Ayin will definitely find you—"

The pale-faced little girl grinned, shaking the Rattle Toy in her hand as she began to count:

"One... two... three... nine... ten."

"Big Brother, Ayin is coming to find you now—"

The little girl's eerie laughter echoed out.

Li Yue remained standing in his original spot, making no attempt to hide.

He wore a strange expression, watching the little girl as she hopped and skipped through the piles of rubble, seemingly searching for him.

Right now—

In his eyes.

This was no evil spirit.

This was entirely a precious Divine Law Fragment!

"Found you!"

"Big Brother, you have to stay here forever and keep Ayin company from now on—"

"Ayin will perform a magic trick for you, turning Big Brother into a paper doll—"

The little girl stood before Li Yue, smiling sweetly, as if delighted to have one more person to keep Her company.

The next moment—

Li Yue discovered.

More of the eerie power of the Divine Law surged toward him.

It seemed intent on turning him into a paper doll.

Yet, all the strange Divine Law failed to envelop him, instead falling onto his hand and condensing into pale white threads.

Seeing that Li Yue had not turned into a paper doll.

The sweet smile on the little girl's pale face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of extreme gloom, her eyes filled with rage and madness:

"Bad person! Bad person! How dare you break your promise to Ayin!"

As the voice fell.

The seven paper dolls from outside the Paper Effigy Shop flew over.

A vast swarm of paper dolls also flew out from within the shop.

Silver-bell-like laughter rang out from all directions, and a multitude of paper dolls hovered in mid-air, staring eerily at Li Yue with upturned mouths.

At this moment—

An even more intense, eerie Divine Law surged in to attack.

Li Yue's expression remained calm.

He flicked his sleeve gently.

Instantly—

The massive swarm of paper dolls filling the sky and earth exploded all at once, transforming into eerie Divine Law that fell into his hands.

Immediately following—

He turned his gaze toward the little girl, whose pale face had become twisted and ferocious.

Mist began to permeate from all directions.

The mist surged toward the little girl, wrapping around her.

This was the Subordinate Ninth Rank divine art, Cloud and Mist Method; in his hands, it could be used for both offense and defense.

Under the terrifying erosion of the mist, the little girl only roared and struggled for a moment before being melted away.

A dense strand of eerie Divine Law power fell into Li Yue's hand.

"Only this Paper Effigy Shop remains."

He pointed a finger lightly.

Suddenly, winds surged and clouds gathered in the firmament, accompanied by thunder and lightning!

BOOM—!

Heavenly lightning descended!

The Paper Effigy Shop was instantly engulfed in lightning, the destructive light annihilating everything!

The entire Paper Effigy Shop exploded, subsequently transforming into surging, eerie Divine Law that attempted to scatter and flee.

However, clouds and mist had long since filled the surroundings, though he had not noticed when they appeared.

The eerie Divine Law Fragment darted left and right, but in the blink of an eye, it was wrapped by the mist into a small ball and landed in Li Yue's hand.

"The intensity has reached the limit of the Fourth Rank."

"A Subordinate Ninth Rank deity would likely be unable to destroy this Paper Effigy Shop."

"If it were a human or a demon at the Fourth Rank limit—"

"They wouldn't just be unable to destroy it; they would likely be trapped within it."

Li Yue sighed with emotion.

Fortunately, he was a Principal Ninth Rank deity, capable of destroying it with a casual wave of his hand.

Of course—

It was precisely because he was a Principal Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God, with a "jurisdiction" spanning one thousand qing, that he had encountered this Paper Effigy Shop within his vast area of coverage.

Had he still been a Subordinate Ninth Rank Land God, with a "jurisdiction" of only fifty qing, the probability of encountering the Paper Effigy Shop would have been far smaller.

He could tell.

This Paper Effigy Shop possessed no consciousness; it was merely acting according to the corrupted Divine Law.

Even the little girl who could speak was equally devoid of consciousness.

He looked at the pale, eerie Divine Law Fragment that had gathered into a ball in his hand.

Divine power surged from within his body.

One strand!

Ten strands!

Fifty strands!

As ninety strands of divine power poured in, the eerie aura within the pale Divine Law Fragment was completely annihilated, transforming into a brilliant, pure, and flawless Divine Law Fragment.

It was as resplendent as a shard of the sun.

"Only one hundred and sixteen strands of divine power remain."

Li Yue felt quite helpless.

Who could have known he would suddenly encounter an evil spirit?

Casting two Subordinate Ninth Rank divine arts, plus activating the power of the Divine Law, had consumed seventy-one strands of divine power directly.

"Let's see what this 'Divine Law Fragment' is worth..."

"To open the door or not..."

He murmured softly.

He took a step and returned to his Divine Domain, then opened the Deity Shop and placed the Divine Law Fragment on display.

Placing it up for sale did not necessarily mean he had to sell it.
