"Fellow Daoist, your methods are truly excellent."

Wei Shuo in admiration.

She could guess that Li Fuchan must have used some kind of Law Treasure, but she was not angry about it.

It was her skill that she was able to bring in those six Flying Swords, and it was naturally his skill that Li Fuchan was able to bring in Law Treasure. Being inferior in skill, he deserved to die.

She had now withdrawn the shock and horror from her eyes, and looked at Li Fuchan calmly. "Go ahead and kill me."

While Li Fuchan possessed a magical Law Treasure, it was undoubtedly a skill, but it wasn't his true strength. How could it not be considered blatant bullying and murder?

However, Li Fuchan had just finished speaking, did not kill her as she had expected.

Wei Shuo thought to himself, "This man is no fool who hesitates. Now is the best time to kill me. Does he still care that I am a direct descendant of the Purple Mansion Direct Lineage?"

"No, no, although this person is not a direct Direct Lineage of the Azure Ram Temple, it is true that he is protected by True Lord. He would not possibly care about my identity, so it must be..."

She opened her eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see a dark, gloomy sky that seemed to have sunk even lower.

A Copper Coin slipped from Li Fuchan's hand. Looking at the third sword Sword Scar on it, he frowned and said, "It seems the Three Kingdoms War was quite fierce; we've already Third Human Reversal."

Just then, the Temple Gate behind them was pushed open, and Wei Xinyun walked out. Li Fuchan didn't turn his head and said, "Junior Sister, did you enjoy your dream?"

The moment Wei Xinyun woke up, she understood the situation and knew that Li Fuchan had saved her. Therefore, she didn't dwell on anything further, and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your protection, Senior Brother."

Li Fuchan did not respond. Wei Xinyun watched as Li Fuchan trampled a woman under her feet and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Li Fuchan said calmly, "Wei True Person, Direct Lineage of the Pivot Court."

Wei Xinyun was startled upon hearing this.

It wasn't because Wei Shuo had turned into a woman; in her view, it was not surprising that anything extraordinary would happen in the Human-Reversal Blessed Land.

What shocked her was that Li Fuchan was actually able to defeat a direct descendant of the Purple Mansion Direct Lineage in a head-on battle.

However, neither Wei Shuo nor Li Fuchan were prepared to discuss this in detail with him at the moment. Li Fuchan looked down at Wei Shuo and suddenly asked, "I remember you seem to be a princess of the River Kingdom."

Wei Shuo nodded, about to say something, when suddenly he seemed to understand something.

The Hegemonic Art created by Jiang Bianyan is called the Law, which governs the country with laws and regulations and strict punishments. If people can use it, they will be blessed with six transformations: Formation, Restraint, Intimidation, Subjugation, Enslavement, and Enlightenment.

At that time, the one who achieved the highest level of mastery in this Hegemonic Art was undoubtedly the King of the River Kingdom.

She was naturally not someone who could be Enslavement Enlightenment, but she carried the legal codes and decrees that came with her title of princess. These codes posed no threat to her, but they could allow people to locate her.

"This person is so knowledgeable about the Hegemonic Art; he must have studied it extensively since entering the Blessed Land. I underestimated the Hegemonic Art."

She sighed inwardly.

Just then, Li Fuchan suddenly released his hold on Wei Shuo, lifting him up in one swift motion. He then turned and looked around, coldly saying, "Come out!"

"Truly worthy of being called Celestial Person."

A voice suddenly rang out.

A middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe walked slowly towards them.

The King of the River Kingdom.

Three Daoist appeared with him.

Jiang Shou, and the remaining two rulers.

Wei Shuo at them, his brows slightly furrowed.

Four cultivators from Blessed Land, who had reached extremely high levels of mastery Hegemonic Art, were still recovering their Law Power, making the situation somewhat troublesome. "If we attack together, I can share three of your Flying Sword with you. Kill the Blessed Land cultivators first, and we can fight them all after you reach the Fourth Human Reversal."

Wei Shuo so.

Li Fuchan was no fool. These cultivators from the Blessed Land had found them ahead of time because of her own actions. Although the Third Human Reversal had already been opened, given the current situation of the Three Kingdoms fighting, she was certain that she could ensure these rulers would not be affected by the Human Reversal.

At least with combined efforts, there was indeed a possibility of killing them.

Under such circumstances, Li Fuchan would certainly not refuse to cooperate.

As for what happens after the cooperation, when the Fourth Human Reversal opens, it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.

Unexpectedly, Li Fuchan didn't even glance at him, but instead smiled and said, "A direct Direct Lineage of the Purple Mansion of the dignified Pivot Court is actually astonished by a few Blessed Land cultivators who haven't even reached the Aperture Opening."

Wei Shuo he didn't really resent being mocked. In any case, he couldn't change the fact that he had been defeated by Li Fuchan. In the outside world, he would be dead by now. But given the current situation, there was no other way but to join forces with the enemy and wait for the Fourth Human Reversal to be opened.

"Do not engage in verbal disputes."

As the two were talking.

The King of the River Kingdom suddenly stepped forward, his gaze passing over Li Fuchan and landing on Wei Shuo. His eyes were filled with unspeakable pain.

"That's just how the world is." "All living things are deprived of freedom. Everything is controlled by it, and everything rebels against it."

"My daughter was the same. A princess of a nation, living a life of luxury and ease, yet she was manipulated by it and fled the palace for a scoundrel."

"A commoner, a lowly servant, a wandering knight-errant. He hasn't bathed or cleansed himself in over a decade. Compared to love, can't she see the filth on him? How could she, someone accustomed to purity since childhood, bear such filth?"

His tone suddenly became higher:

"The land is ravaged by drought, and chaos reigns on all sides. For over a decade, people have struggled to survive. Compared to love, could she not see the short, thin body of the wild man? Compared to royalty, the wild man is more lowly. Compared to nobles, the wild man is more impoverished. Compared to scholars and gentlemen, the wild man is more vulgar. Compared to hunters and butchers, the wild man is more frail."

"Royal relatives can give her honor, but what can a commoner give her? Nobles and princes can give her stability, but what can a commoner give her? Young masters and scholars can give her poetry, literature, and music, but hunters and butchers at least have strength. What does he have? He has nothing. He will only make her suffer with him."

She couldn't see the filth, the frailty, or the poverty.

"Because it doesn't let her see it. It makes her feel that this is love."

It distorted our love.

At this point, his voice suddenly dropped, and the resentment and pain in his eyes as he looked at Wei Shuo were gone, replaced by something indescribable, perhaps... gratitude.

He even shed tears, choking back sobs as he said, "I want to thank you celestial Celestial Person, because your appearance has taken over her body, freeing her from its control."

Even in death, she gained freedom.

The Regent King of the Yu Kingdom stepped forward, his body radiating a mysterious white light— the Hegemonic Art passed down by Yu Gongtan, known as the Art of War.

He said bitterly, "I hold a high position, command the emperor and the feudal lords, and have boundless ambitions for revenge. But because of her, I am constantly chasing after that foolish woman. Perhaps when I am old, I will even bury the country's generals alive, or be overthrown by some fool whom someone else serves..."

His eyes blazed with a hatred that seemed to engulf the world. "It's it that makes our ambitions laughable."

The King of the Year Kingdom did not share the pain of the King of the River Kingdom, nor the overwhelming hatred of the King of the Yu Kingdom. He appeared remarkably calm, much like his unremarkable appearance. However, his gaze fell upon Wei Xinyun, and he slowly raised his hand. "Yun'er, come back."

"There are three Celestial Person here, and I've also captured one that was left behind. That's enough for me to get out of here. I don't care if you're Celestial Person or anyone else. As long as you're still willing to call me Father, then you are my daughter. Once we escape from here, you will still be the Year Kingdom Princess, able to offer advice and strategize, and command the nation. Your brothers will still be your playthings, whom you can bully at will."

He spoke softly, and behind his slender frame, it seemed as if an immense, overwhelming force was pressing down upon him.

The Hegemonic Art is called power.

Without Human Reversal him, the Three Kingdoms fought each other, and no one could stop him from accumulating power.

His presence here is a matter of destiny, and no one can struggle against it.

This is unparalleled confidence, belonging only to the strong.

The three of them stepped forward simultaneously. Black light, blue light, white light.

The Hegemonic Art, which spans heaven and earth, was created by three legendary figures and inherited by them.

Perhaps our three ancestors from Six Hundred Years also longed for such a scene.

Slay the Celestial Person and escape your shackles.

The absurd story that has lasted for Six Hundred Years is finally coming to an end.

Wei Shuo's gaze darkened.

Of the three, the strongest is undoubtedly the King of the Year Kingdom; under the current circumstances, no one can rival him.

We must join forces.

Just as he was trying to persuade Li Fuchan, the cautious and quiet young man, who was as still as a long snake, suddenly stepped forward and confronted the three strongest people in the Blessed Land from afar.

Looking at them, Li Fuchan calmly asked, "Are you finished?"

Seeing this, Wei Shuo didn't think Li Fuchan had lost his mind; his only thought was, "Does he still have some other tricks up his sleeve?"

"Does that Law Treasure possess other supernatural abilities?" Even Wei Xinyun was shocked by Li Fuchan's audacity.

The situation is now completely out of their control.

The Fifth Human Reversal has not yet arrived, but the three strongest beings from the Blessed Land have broken free from the shackles of Human Reversal and have now arrived together, trapping them. Even if the three of them join forces, even with Wei Shuo's Flying Sword and Li Fuchan's Law Treasure, plus some of her methods, their chances of survival are slim.

All they could do was stall for time until the Fourth Human Reversal arrived.

How could Li Fuchan dare to step forward and confront him at such a moment?

One wrong move and you could end up dead or alive.

Not only them, but even the three kings were surprised by Li Fuchan's actions.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Li Fuchan looked at the three supreme experts from the Blessed Land before him. Some of them came because of pain, some because of resentment, and some because of the prevailing trend. Their Hegemonic Art had reached their limit under such accumulation.

These people are very strong. Wei Shuo, as a direct descendant of the Purple Mansion Direct Lineage, has endless tricks up her sleeve. Even Wei Xinyun, Li Fuchan believes that she definitely has ways to save her life.

Of all these people, he was the most cautious and careful. He came from a humble background and used despicable methods. In order to take Wei Xinyun away, he even resorted to the dirty trick of drugging her.

The reason Wei Shuo was because the Grotto Heaven could summon Law Treasure, and he won by surprise. In this Blessed Land, the only thing Li Fuchan could rely on to gain the upper hand over them, besides having a cheat code, was his caution.

Hanging out is his tactic; caution is his foundation.

Therefore, since entering this Blessed Land, he has tried his best to understand the origins and cultivation methods of those Hegemonic Art, and even took the initiative to contact some Human Reversal influenced by them.

His understanding of the concept of "Human Reversal nature" was unparalleled among those present.

As Li Fuchan watched the three kings, whose aura grew increasingly imposing, a smile slowly rose in his eyes.

No matter how much pain, hatred, or ambition they harbored, it didn't matter to him.

He only cares about the results he has driven.

The stronger they become, the greater the force that Human Reversal needs to correct.

He looked up and saw that the sky had sunk three feet lower.

A fourth Sword Scar quietly appeared on the Copper Coin in his hand.

The Fourth Human Reversal, successful!

Wei Shuo felt his inner Law Power surging and the Outer Scenery manifesting, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face. "Heaven is helping me! They've arrived just in time!"

A flash of ferocity crossed his eyes as he raised his hand to strike Li Fuchan in the back.

Wei Xinyun had been on guard against him all along. The moment her Law Power was restored, the Lesser Yin Spell Light struck out instantly, blocking Wei Shuo's attack for Li Fuchan.

Upon seeing this, the three kings' gazes darkened, and they all moved simultaneously.

All the attacks seemed to be aimed at Li Fuchan in an instant.

However, it was precisely at this critical moment that...

Li Fuchan suddenly took a step forward, and between his eyebrows, a vertical eye burst open through his flesh, and the "Wu-Gui Di-Yin Spell Light" poured out like a celestial river, surging and turbulent.

Suddenly, a large Yellow War Drum appeared in his hand.

"The Errant Thunder Drum."

He channeled all his Law Power and clapped four times in succession, his face suddenly turning pale.

However, the smile in his eyes grew wider and wider.

A fifth Sword Scar appeared on the Copper Coin in his hand. The dark sky suddenly collapsed.

The Spell Light that everyone attacked Li Fuchan with was so intense that it seemed to fall on them one after another, as if it had been reversed.

Even though Wei Xinyun was preparing to protect Li Fuchan and unleashed her Spell Light, it struck her instead, instantly causing her severe injury.

Ignoring all that, she looked up at the sky, her eyes reflecting a hazy, apocalyptic scene. Her pupils constricted, and she cried out, "The Heaven's Collapse!"

Everyone fell silent, but Li Fuchan leaped to his feet. The "Wu-Gui Di-Yin Spell Light" was still emanating from between his brows, the wind whistling, his sleeves fluttering. [Ten-Thousand-Li Subduer] had appeared in his hand without his noticing. He pointed the sword at the collapsing sky and laughed heartily.

"Hey, you things in the sky, get down here!"
