God King never saw himself as a savior. After all the cruel acts he did, he couldn't be called a savior. However, he accepted being a sinner of the ages. Many were idolizing him but many were also hating him to the bones, especially those people who were affected by his coldness. This was his method and no one should ever told him about what to do.
God King looked at the thick smoke created by his attacks. He used most of his power from those attacks. Although he still had some strength left, it was only for extraction of the legacy from Feng Lin's successor's body.
"It seems like it's over now." Bloodflaw sneered, "It serves him right for being so arrogant in front of us. He's too young to antagonize God King."
Ancestor Wang and Ancestor Hong didn't know what to think at the moment. But they were praying that Jin Rou should be alive and well! If not, the Phoenix Empire was good as dead. No one would be able to save them.
"Crack!" Just when God King would near the place, a crack sound resounded and a figure appeared, "I have to admit, you have powerful attacks there. Just that Buddha alone can destroy this whole realm, aren't you afraid of crushing it accidentally?"
Jin Rou appeared once again. Just like the usual, he had no injuries or whatsoever which made God King widen his eyes in stupefaction.
How was that possible? God King was very sure that Jin Rou received the attacks well and there were no space manipulations that had been done around. How come Jin Rou was still alive and well right now that not even the slightest wound could be seen?
Even Bloodflaw and Noah were slackjawed. This shouldn't be possible!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Surprised? Don't be. This is just one of the small perks of being a Dual Universal Law." Jin Rou smiled, "I have to thank you though for giving me opportunity to try your method in your stead. It definitely works well, you know."
So this was the power of a law with dual legacies. God King's eyes squinted. He would do everything to get his hands on Feng Lin's legacy no matter what!
"Since you're done with your attack, it's my turn, no?" Jin Rou laughed.
"Boom!" His white flame aura bursted forth as it encircled Jin Rou. Soon, a phoenix made of white flames appeared, with blue eyes.
"Screech!" The White Flame Phoenix screeched as it saw a familiar figure in a distance. It was enraged and wanted to tear God King alive.
"You want to tear him, right?" Jin Rou smirked, "Go and kill him then!"
The White Flame Phoenix had a deep grudge against God King since time immemorial. Although Jin Rou didn't ask what it must be, he already had several hunches about it. This beast was only a mere intent created by his white flames, so naturally it wasn't as strong during its era.
"Screech!" The White Flame Phoenix instantly charged towards God King. Its eyes were filled with hatred as it was about to pounce and devour God King with its flames.
"You still hate me that much after all these years, White?" God King could feel the intense hatred of the beast for him. He activated all the laws of God Buddha and attempted to block the devouring flames of the phoenix. It would be bad if his flesh touch the white flames as even him wouldn't escape unscathed!
"Boom!" The God Buddha moved its arms and stopped the White Flame Phoenix. It released a dense energy of Buddhist Light.
"Intent Buddha, you must disappear and let the two deal with each other." Jin Rou casted a spear made of white flames and threw it towards the God Buddha.
"Boom!" Before God King could react, the God Buddha revealed several cracks after being pierced by the Flame Spear. He was immensely stumped as he tried to prevent the God Buddha from disappearing.
"Activate!" God King bit his tongue to bleed his blood and used it as momentary factor to support God Buddha from not disappearing.
"Futile." Jin Rou sneered and threw another three Flame Spears, each was stronger than the other!
"Agh!" God King couldn't deal with it and spat a mouthful of blood. The God Buddha vanished thus the White Flame Phoenix was free to devour him with the flames.
Noah and Bloodflaw knew that God King was in danger so they moved immediately and created a space to teleport to his location and immediately grabbed the king to save him from imminent death.
"Screech!" Seeing that the enemy was saved, the White Flame Phoenix was enraged more and would be sure to kill the other laws, too.
Nevertheless, it still backed off first due to Jin Rou's command.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I told you, right? You aren't my match. I know you did this because you wanted to test my strength but you almost lost your life there." Jin Rou's voice was calm yet it brought terror to all the people present, especially the enemies, "Just like I told you earlier, you all cannot escape unless you die here. Not even your Universal Laws could save you here. Furthermore, if you want to blame someone, blame it to your foolishness and following the wrong people."
There was an uncomfortable silence ensued after. It was the silence that anyone wouldn't want to experience as it was very suffocating and heavy.
"Noah, Bloodflaw, you have to listen to me." After recovering some of his strength, God King spoke, "You two have to escape this place. I have already had a decent estimation of the enemy's power and unfortunately, it isn't something we can take on right now."
God King was no longer the mighty and aloof Universal Law right now. His monk attire was tattered and he was filled with wounds, outer and inner included. It was the first time he tasted despair that he couldn't something about it.
"What, how can we leave you here? You are our leader and we cannot afford to lose you. The world needs you, compared to us!" Noah was speaking with a solemn tone, "Besides, I have confirmed that this place was entirely sealed. Even the two ancestors of the Phoenix Empire cannot do something about it even though they were on the enemy's side."
