The Story Never Ends

Chapter 230 - A Real Venerable Expert

"Humph! The path beyond the Saint Realm? You sure know how to brag." The devil scoffed in disdain and his aura boiled violently, causing difficulties for the skeleton to stand on his feet.

"Brat, your earlier condition was worth considering. But you're starting to get on my nerves with this bullshit." The devil bellowed in anger. As someone who had reached the peak of the world and had seen everything with his own eyes, how dare he lie to him?

During his days, there were numerous saints and at this stage, they could freely manipulate multiple laws, making them closer to the heavens and earth. Using the laws, they could create mountains, rivers, trees, and many more. They were literally gods.

After reaching such a level, how could they miss and remain ignorant of the path beyond the Saint? It was solely impossible. Even if there was an entity above the Saint Realm, how could they have never seen or heard of it?

And now an insignificant skeleton in the measly Domain Realm Stage was mentioning that there was a way. So, how could he believe it? Did he think of him as a fool?

"Brat, if you can't give me a proper explanation, then you can forget about leaving from here alive." He waved his hand, surrounding the skeleton from all sides with his devil essence that had materialized like solid walls.

"What a sublime control of devil essence. As expected of an old monster." The skeleton muttered and answered while keeping his calm. "Don't you want to know the reason why we have so many Saints under our wings?"

"Go on." The devil harrumphed coldly, despite being interested.

"It's because the leader of our Heavenly Demon Sect is above the Saint Realm. That is…" Before the skeleton could finish his words, a large palm extended from the wall and grabbed him, dragging him towards the devil.

"You.." The skeleton was shocked. He couldn't understand why the devil suddenly struck him.

"Hehe, I am tired of listening to your nonsense. Let me just search through your memories." The devil finally ran out of patience as she showed his true nature.

"Help!" The skeleton yelled loudly and his slaves reacted in an instant.

"BAM!BAM!"

The two weaker corpses smashed their fists at the palm with all their strength, generating powerful shockwaves. Nonetheless, it was not enough. Only when the third corpse that could speak launched its attack, did it break.

"Whoosh!" A sharp blue blade formed in its hand, and he cut the palm in half, rescuing the skeleton easily.

"Oh! Now I see what gave you the confidence. You do possess a rare devil ability. I am quite fascinated. If I could use my devour law right now, I would have taken that skill for myself." He greedily looked at him, giving him goosebumps all over his body.

"However, it's sad that I can't use it at the moment. The same goes for my other laws too." He sighed in disappointment.

"Nevertheless, there is still my inherent ability available. After cultivating for thousands of years, I had taken it to the realm of law. Although I can only utilize a trace of it at present, dealing with these ants should be easy."

He didn't even put the corpses in the Venerable Stage in his eyes. Especially, when they couldn't mobilize the power of laws.

Next, he made a simple punching motion in the air, resulting in a horrific invisible force coming crashing down upon the skeleton.

"The Law of Strength!" The skeleton cried out in astonishment. Even though it was not a rare and mysterious law, it could crush one to meat paste in the blink of an eye. After all, its attacking threat was extremely high.

Knowing this, he didn't dare to hold himself back any longer. He put his hands on the weaker corpses and injected his devil essence into them. Thus, similar to the third corpse, they gradually radiated devil essence and gained some intelligence.

One of them waved its hand creating a blue circular barrier wrapping the skeleton while the other joined hands with the third corpse to resist the force approaching them.

"BOOM"

A terrifying explosion took place when the blades formed by the corpses were thrust ahead.

"They blocked it?" The devil was amused.

"Is this how you repay us?" The skeleton inquired in a furious tone and continued. "Don't belittle us. Since you don't want to come with us, then we have no other choice than to capture you."

"Hehe, brat, do you think you are qualified for that? As a proud devil, I will do whatever I want. Even without you fools, I would have escaped from this seal." The devil let out a burst of arrogant laughter and threw more punches in the air.

"BOOM!BOOM"

The corpses kept blocking and blocking and the skeleton's eyes became duller and duller as time passed.

Noticing this, the devil mocked him. "Brat, are you running out of gas? Let me see how long you can last." Unlike the skeleton, his punches didn't need to be sustained with devil essence.

This was the difference between the power of laws and usual spells. Laws refer to the origin or source of every force in the world or you can say they are the frameworks that build the world. Whereas spells were merely the exploitation of the aura of heavens and earth.

By comprehending a law, one could have absolute authority over one of the fundamentals of the world. You could replicate it, create it or even erase it. In an easier sense, you could create a flame from nothing and delete it later with just a thought if you understood the law of flames.

Inside the lamp,

Davion and Siena were seated side by side on the ground outside the castle in a lotus position. Indeed, they had hidden here after jumping into the pit. Since the corpses had no intelligence and the skeleton was busy, they were unnoticed when they pulled this trick.

Currently, both of them had their eyes closed. Davion was closely observing the battle between the skeleton and the devil with his Mind-Eye. As for Siena, she was recovering her soul Qi, attempting to return to her optimal state.

"They are monstrously strong. Mainly that devil. Even with the cultivation base at the peak stage of the Domain Realm, he can use a little bit of the power of law as much as he can." Davion reported seriously.

"Damn! I can only use the power of that caliber once and it would fully drain me. So, what is he relying on to do that?" Siena was flustered. It seemed like the opponent was impossible to deal with.

"Good! We have a high probability of winning." Contrary to her, Davion had a completely opposite reaction. Happiness could be felt from his voice.

"Are you serious?" Siena was dumbfounded.

"Of course. Did you forget about the two law runes on my body?" He opened his eyes and winked at her, showcasing his confidence.

"I get it." Siena realized what he meant. With her addition, they would have three powers of laws at their disposal, granting them a good shot in defeating the devil.

"You should get ready. I don't think the skeleton can hold out any longer." He stood up and tore his upper robe, revealing his tattoos.

"Can you pass me your sword again? I believe I can burst out with more power than you." He smiled at her.

"No problem."

Meanwhile, the skeleton was on his knees, struggling to get up due to exhaustion. As a result, the devil essence on the bodies of his slaves had dried out. Therefore, they had lost their minds once again and were acting like puppets.

"Brat, this is over." The devil spoke while gazing at him proudly.

"Haha, devil, don't get too excited. Knowing that you are an old monster from ancient times, did you think that our Majesty would send us with no further preparations?" The skeleton smirked as he took a golden scroll carved with various runes from his spirit ring.

"This.." The devil had a bad premonition with its appearance.

"If you won't obey us, then there is no need for you to exist. Our Heavenly Demon Sect has many more powerful experts than you. Losing you is not a loss." The skeleton unfurled the scroll without any hesitation.

"BOOM"

A heavy person was unleashed from it, disrupting the pool and even the space. It was so strong that the barrier made by Davion's staff began cracking at the speed visible to the naked eye. It looked as if a slight touch would break it apart.

"This pressure certainly belongs to a real Venerable Stage Expert. Is he summoning them?" The devil's face had a solemn expression.

"Stop this! We can talk slowly." He lowered his voice, requesting politely.

"It's too late." The skeleton shook his head as a small fissure popped up in the space above the scroll.

Then two pale hands could be seen emerging from inside. They were supporting the fissure, trying to enlarge it.

"A true Venerable Expert.." The devil sensed the vast aura hidden deep within the other part at a glance with his Divine Sense.
