Understanding the Rules, Inscribing the Rules
"Then let's do it." Su Xiaoxiao gripped the broadsword at her side, ready to strike at any moment.
Just then, a streak of green flame suddenly shot up behind her! Xiao Yan swung the large ruler in his hand, which was wreathed in flames, and slammed it down on the black mist.
The moment the fire touched the edge of the black mist, an extremely piercing sizzling sound rang out, accompanied by a strange smell resembling burnt cloth mixed with rust, instantly filling the entire office.
The black mist, struck by the Heavenly Flame, didn't even have time to struggle before turning into ash at a visible speed.
The remaining black mist seemed to shrink back in fear, no longer spreading Wuji.
"Go!" Seeing that the attack was effective, Xiao Yan used the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler to blast open the locked door behind him and led everyone out of the office.
"Quick!" Lin Yu was the first to react, grabbing the still-stunned Su Xiaoxiao and pushing her towards the door. Goku Shi Hao also jumped around and was outside in a few leaps.
Xiao Yan stayed behind, the Heavenly Flame in his palm always burning, forcing the principal's black mist to not dare to chase after him outside.
It's too cramped inside, you can't really move around freely. Outside, it's spacious, and it's convenient for fighting and running away.
The group had just rushed out of the teaching building when they were startled by the sight outside. The sky, which had been just a gray haze, had somehow turned a thick, blood-red color.
The school building was even more strange. Cracks were now appearing on the dilapidated walls, and countless distorted human faces emerged from the cracks—some were students, some were teachers, their mouths wide open, emitting silent screams, their eyes bulging out, staring intently at the five people in the square.
The windows and roof of the teaching building were gradually filled with the principal's black fog, and in no time the thick fog could be seen rising into the sky.
The entire campus seemed to come alive.
"Boom boom boom--!" With a series of earth-shaking tremors, the ground was cracked open from time to time.
To prevent any accidents, the person among them who had the ability to fly took Su Xiaoxiao and the other companions who did not have the ability to fly into the air.
Suddenly, thick "legs" slowly "grew" from the bottom of the entire teaching building, legs made of reinforced concrete mixed with flesh and blood, supporting it as it stood up.
Two arms protrude from the side wall, covered with the heads of the dead, looking from a distance as if they had been sewn on.
Its colossal form, tens of meters tall, stood against the blood-red sky, casting a shadow that enveloped the entire square.
"No, how am I supposed to fight this?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at the imposing monster and felt a sense of powerlessness wash over her.
"This one's easy to beat." Lin Yu wasn't particularly afraid of this monster; what troubled him was the rules behind it.
The real problem is that if we eliminate it, it will have a chance to make its move, and that would be a huge problem.
As Lin Yu finished speaking, Goku transformed into Super Saiyan, his hands forming a lotus shape as he began to gather energy.
Shi Hao also inscribed the Nine Heavens Lightning Prison Formation at the feet of this enormous monster to restrict its movements.
Xiao Yan also conjured Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus in his hands, ready to throw them at the monster at any moment.
As the monster took shape, its enormous fist swung down, and the three of them unleashed their attacks in response.
"Buzz--!"
Energy of various colors exploded instantly, and a blinding light engulfed the entire square, illuminating even the blood-red sky.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The hems of their clothes froze in place, and even the lingering smell of burning disappeared.
The world was eerily quiet, with only that blinding white light enveloping everything.
"Boom--!"
An incredibly powerful shockwave suddenly exploded outwards, as if an atomic bomb had detonated in the center of the square. The airflow, carrying debris and black mist, surged outwards, and the ground was torn up layer by layer.
From a high vantage point, one would see that the entire campus was swept away by this giant wave and reduced to rubble.
Seeing the energy wave sweeping towards him, Lin Yu's pupils shrank. He didn't have time to think. Instantly, a pale golden Primordial Spirit power surged around him, forming a semi-transparent light shield that steadily enveloped Su Xiaoxiao, Xiao Yan, and the others beside him.
The airflow struck the light shield, producing a dull "thump" sound, and ripples spread across the surface of the light shield. Cold sweat instantly beaded on Lin Yu's forehead.
"Are you alright?" Su Xiaoxiao gripped the broadsword tightly. She had been protected by Lin Yu and hadn't suffered any impact, but seeing the beads of sweat on Lin Yu's forehead, she also felt guilty for her own weakness.
When the shockwave finally subsided, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. When he withdrew his Primordial Spirit power, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Before they could even catch their breath, a sickeningly loud "crunching" sound suddenly came from below.
The school, which had been blasted into pieces by the energy, was gradually reforming, with countless fragments and black mist being drawn towards the center.
"Something's not right, its recovery speed is too fast!" Xiao Yan frowned, the bluish-green flame in his palm trembled inexplicably, "My Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus clearly hit its core, how is it still alive?"
"This monster is so hard to kill." Shi Hao frowned as well. He had clearly restrained the monster in place, so why hadn't he killed it?
"Wow! They're still alive?" Goku exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Yu didn't speak, but instead opened his Heavenly Eye again, his gaze piercing through the black mist on the monster's body and looking at the rules.
"It's no use. As long as the rules of this school still exist, this monster can't be killed." Lin Yu explained to them that the monster wasn't that difficult to deal with; what was difficult to deal with was the rules.
"Then how do we kill him and destroy this small world?" Xiao Yan was at a loss against this unkillable monster. Was he supposed to destroy the entire world? He didn't have that kind of ability.
"Give it a try..." Lin Yu said something that seemed out of nowhere.
"Huh?" Everyone was confused, not understanding what Lin Yu was talking about.
He activated his Heavenly Eye, mimicking the rules of the crystals, and slowly inscribed his own rules.
Each one distinct from those black rules
Those rules were cold and ruthless, radiating a malice that devoured everything.
As Lin Yu unleashed his Primordial Spirit power, combined with the power of his Heavenly Eye, golden "rule" crystals were carved out in the void.
At first, the light was faint, but it carried a warmth that was completely different from the rules of black, clear and firm.
As these "rules" gradually came into being, they suddenly shone with dazzling golden light.
The moment the light streak touched the ground, the surrounding, previously restless black mist suddenly contracted, retreating half an inch as if it had been scalded.
These golden and black rules are like two extremes; the black rules are cold and devouring, and you will be corroded if you touch them even slightly.
The golden rules that Lin Yu carved carried a gentle tension. With each additional line he carved, the surrounding air became clearer, and even the oppressive atmosphere cast by the blood-red sky lessened.
The veins on Lin Yu's forehead bulged slightly. Inscribing the rules was more difficult than he had imagined; each rule seemed to be fighting against the existing rule system.
