Devour
The dead silence of the underworld seemed to be frozen by the invisible wedding vows. Under the lead-gray sky, two figures stood side by side, their cause and effect intertwined and their destinies connected.
Yinglong could clearly feel the wounds to her Dao foundation, which had once required countless years to heal, healing and reshaping at an astonishing rate under the surge of this vast, pure energy. A long-lost sense of strength, like spring returning to the earth, coursing through her parched meridians once again. Her dull crimson armor shone with a restrained yet powerful luster.
This wasn't a simple healing, but more of a reshaping. The power, fused with the life-giving energy of primordial water and the stabilizing properties of the Law of Nirvana, while repairing her old injuries, seemed to be subtly transforming her immortal body and soul, bringing them into closer harmony... with the aura beside her.
She frowned slightly, but didn't resist. At this point, resistance was pointless.
"Ao Guang"—perhaps he could no longer simply be called Ao Guang—released his grip on her hand, but the invisible bond and sense of control felt stronger than any physical contact. He turned, his ethereal eyes once again gazing into the depths of the netherworld, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of space, resting on some distant direction.
"This place is dirty, it's not suitable to stay here for long." He spoke, and his voice returned to that cold, law-like texture. There was no tenderness for his new wife in his voice, only a consideration based on "possession".
Yinglong followed his gaze and nodded silently. Though the Crown Prince had been driven back, the Heavenly Court would not let this go. This netherworld was no place to dwell for long.
He said no more and raised his hand to make a vague gesture.
“Sizzle—”
The space ahead, like a fragile piece of cloth, was easily torn apart! What was revealed was not an ordinary spatial passage, but a void of bizarre light and color chaos to the extreme! It was the depths of the turbulent flow of laws, deeper and more dangerous than the Netherworld Crack!
If an ordinary Golden Immortal stepped in, he would be torn into pieces by the disordered laws in an instant.
But he just glanced at her indifferently, then put his arm around Yinglong's waist - his movements were natural, with unquestionable strength - and stepped into the chaotic colorful torrent!
Yinglong didn't even have time to react. He felt his entire body tighten, and his vision was filled with countless distorted, shattered, and rapidly passing colors and shadows! The violent power of the law was like billions of bone-scraping steel knives, squeezing and tearing from all directions!
However, these terrifying turbulences that were powerful enough to annihilate the stars, when they touched the invisible force field around "Ao Guang" that blended the aura of annihilation and chaos, were like encountering an absolute forbidden zone. They circled around and disappeared, unable to penetrate at all.
He walked as if on flat ground in this desperate place where even the Emperor of Heaven had to be cautious.
Yinglong was protected by him, watching the scene outside that would terrify any immortal or god, and his heart was in turmoil again. What level of power had he reached?
He seemed to have no clear destination, simply wandering haphazardly through this chaotic sea of laws. Every step he took spanned immeasurable distances of time and space. Occasionally, he would pause, his Eye of Nothingness sweeping across a seemingly normal area, before tearing through space again, stepping into yet another, even stranger, more dangerous, unknown land.
He seemed to be... patrolling.
Patrolling the "back side" of the laws of the three realms, these "shadow" corners that even the way of heaven cannot fully cover.
Also looking for something.
Yinglong noticed that he would occasionally absorb some extremely special "things" from those chaotic fragments of laws, the essence of which even she found difficult to understand - perhaps a distorted timeline, perhaps the fragment of a forgotten ancient contract, or perhaps a trace of strange energy born from nothingness...
He casually put these things into his sleeves like collecting specimens, or directly ground and absorbed them with the power of annihilation, turning them into a part of himself.
His strength seemed to continue to grow and improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This process is filled with unspeakable dangers and uncertainties. It's like dancing on the edge of a knife, potentially causing the entire system of laws to collapse and backfire at any moment.
But he seemed not to care. In those empty eyes, there was only a cold desire for exploration and control.
Yinglong followed him, observing all this in silence. She discovered that her "newlywed husband" lacked even the most basic respect for the inherent order and laws of the Three Realms. His behavior was more like that of a child with a new toy, testing its capabilities and limits in the most brutal and direct way possible.
The deep turbulence of these laws where they are at the moment is undoubtedly the best "testing ground".
I don’t know how long I traveled and how many bizarre and strange places I crossed.
Finally, he stopped in a relatively "calm" area.
This wasn't a physical space, but rather a sea composed of countless slowly rotating, silver-gray runes of laws. Each rune contained a fundamental, world-building power. Like docile schools of fish, they swam in this sea of nothingness.
Is this... a projection of the edge of the Sea of Origin of Laws?
Yinglong was horrified. This place was close to the core realm of the Heavenly Dao, where ordinary creatures couldn't even perceive it!
"Ao Guang" floated in the center of the ocean of silver runes and slowly opened his arms.
The dark blue of annihilation in his left eye and the vortex of chaos in his right eye lit up at the same time!
An invisible, huge suction force suddenly emerged with him as the center!
In an instant, the entire silver rune ocean boiled!
Countless law runes, as if summoned by the king, turned into silver streams of light, rushing towards his body madly, sinking under the night robe, and into his pair of empty eyes!
He is...devouring the law!
Forcibly incorporate these rules and forces that constitute the foundation of the world into yourself!
This is no longer a simple practice or plunder; it is an act that defies the will of Heaven! It is shaking the very foundation of the existence of the Three Realms!
"You..." Yinglong couldn't help but utter a sound, her eyes filled with fear. She could feel the surrounding space-time structure becoming unstable due to this frenzied devouring. She could even faintly hear the thunder of the wrath of the heavens! Although faint, it was real!
"Ao Guang" seemed to have heard her voice, and turned his head slightly. His eyes of nothingness, which were madly devouring the laws, glanced at her indifferently.
"Rules are meant to be broken."
His voice was calm, but it carried an indifference that seemed to transcend the rules.
"The old heaven, the old order, has bound you and me for thousands of years."
"Since that's the case, I will redefine the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, the speed at which he swallowed increased again!
More silver runes merged into his body like rivers flowing into the sea. The aura surrounding him grew deeper and more unfathomable, even beginning to faintly exude a kind of...impersonal majesty akin to the Way of Heaven!
Yinglong looked at his almost crazy behavior, feeling the increasingly unstable time and space around him and the faint wrath of heaven, and his heart sank to the bottom.
She married not only a powerful being.
He is also a madman who intends to reshape the three realms!
This wedding, witnessed by the underworld, will likely usher in a catastrophe that will sweep across the heavens and the universe and subvert all known order.
And she has been firmly tied to this chariot rushing towards the unknown abyss, with no way to retreat.
