"That's right."
Heavenly Lord Cangzhu nodded, then continued explaining:
"The Heartless Demon Emperor was originally a Sword Immortal of the Confucian Sect. After becoming a demon and proclaiming himself emperor, his Word-Follows-Law grew even stronger than that of the ancient Confucian sages."
"Take that use of Word-Follows-Law just now. Apart from some cultivators at great completion of the Heaven Questioning Realm and those with powerful Divine Souls, very few could withstand it."
Understanding dawned on everyone in the hall.
"In that case, wouldn't the Book of Life and Death be useless against the Heartless Demon Emperor? After all, with the Word-Follows-Law power of 'Heaven and earth hold no self of mine,' the ordinary people of Mysterious Wasteland Heaven would probably forget the Heartless Demon Emperor even existed, let alone bear a grudge against him."

"Boss, what's going on?"

"The stronger the killing intent of the person controlling the Book of Life and Death, the more Netherworld Qi it releases in response."
"This means Xu Taiping truly intends to kill the Heartless Demon Emperor."

As before, regardless of
