Chapter 201: Either Life or Death
Yun Ye swung his sword, and blue light surged forth.
No law could stop this power that severed concepts. Liu Jianxin’s true form appeared, and he exclaimed in horror, “Master Ji!!!”
Ji Chongtian did not want to save him; this was the power that could shatter Dao Artifacts. If he rescued Liu Jianxin, his Dao Artifact would likely be damaged, which was unacceptable to him.
However, as a law realm expert who had lived for two hundred years and weathered countless storms to reach this point, his reason reminded him at every moment that there could be no further casualties!
Baishi Town only had the four law realm experts left, and Qi Lian, who sought peace, could not truly intervene for them.
Even losing one more person would significantly weaken the power of the Killing Formation.
And this strange group of mortals, whom he wished to rip apart and torment until they were terrified, had indeed mastered a power that made him wary.
If a gap appeared in the Killing Formation, allowing these mortals to activate the Spiritual Artifact called "Celestial Phenomenon," they might truly be beyond saving and head toward destruction.
So…
He had to save him!
“Supreme Chains of Servitude!”
Ji Chongtian summoned his Dao Artifact, and dozens of black chains extended, blocking in front of Liu Jianxin.
The power of the Supreme Rule activated, countering the Tomorrow Dao Sword on a rules level.
There was no doubt that Yun Ye had violated the Supreme Rule.
But Liu Jianxin was undoubtedly the target of the Dual Slice Strike rule, standing opposite the majority.
In this conflicting situation, victory depended on the strength of the rules.
The true name of the Supreme Rule was derived from four aspects.
The first: whether the enemy was beneath the Ji family, a lesser being.
Yun Ye had no official title and his cultivation level was merely in the Mortal Realm.
Established!
The second: whether the opponent was a resident of Baishi Town and was protected by it.
Yun Ye had been born outside Baishi Town, living alone and not relying on its protection.
Not established.
The third: whether the Dao Artifact’s resonance was stronger than that of the opponent.
The resonance of the Tomorrow Dao Artifact was close to one thousand, whereas the Supreme Chains of Servitude barely reached one hundred.
Not established.
The fourth: whether the rule coefficient of the Supreme Rule was higher than that of the opponent.
Not established.
The so-called rule coefficient was similar to how Yun Ye created the upgrade panel.
The Second Rule could be produced with eight resonances, which essentially meant the rule coefficient was high enough to allow the same number of resonances to exert greater effectiveness.
Yun Ye summarized three rules. The more rules that were met, the higher the Rule Coefficient.
The first: The rules of the Dao Artifact must be as fair as possible, requiring the fewest resonances.
The second: It is best if the rules have preconditions and do not create something from nothing.
The third: Power and responsibility must be equal.
The Supreme Order Cauldron only met the second rule and could not be compared to the Dual Slice Strike. Thus, it was still not established.
In a situation of almost complete disadvantage, the outcome was clear. The Dao Artifact was sliced away by Yun Ye’s sword.
“Not completely destroyed?”
Ji Chongtian noticed this key point and quickly understood the situation. “I see now; the Dao Artifact that shattered Ji Yan’s was due to a desperate strike? Does this Dao Artifact also have a sacrificial mechanism?”
He fully understood because the "Order" of the Supreme Order Cauldron was a similar mechanism.
It could sacrifice a part of people to weaken the effects of the great disaster; the opponent merely turned this into enhancing the power of the Dao Artifact, which was not surprising.
In this scenario, if the opponent wanted to eradicate Ji Chongtian’s law realm, they only had one chance. Would he risk his life to unleash this sword?
Moreover, there was a difference in Dao Artifact levels. Ji Yan’s Dao Artifact did not even possess Dao Rules; it was merely the weakest type. His being shattered by a sword did not mean that the family artifact would be broken.
Ultimately, Dao Artifacts depended on their level. If a thousand-year-old Dao Artifact were defeated, there would be nothing that could be done.
Dao Artifacts overshadowed cultivators; as long as one was resolute and unafraid of a great disaster, they would be unstoppable!
“Supreme Order Cauldron!”
Ji Chongtian activated the Order Cauldron and locked onto all members of the Tomorrow Society present. He finally understood and decided to use the Dao Artifact for rule extermination.
A large number of invisible chains of rules surged through the air, and upon contact, members of the Tomorrow Society would meet a swift end.
Yun Ye raised his sword, and the corresponding power of rules spread out, annihilating the majority of the chains. However, some members could not be saved in time and lost their lives on the spot.
The Earthly Evil Extreme Cold Great Formation thus had a flaw, which was forcefully compensated by Yun Ye, who was in the Reverse Liberation state plus the Dao Artifact liberation state.
“Elevation of Spiritual Roots!”
“Heavenly Wind Major Law · Third Turn · Piercing the Heavenly Cloud!”
Liu Jianxin, having escaped from death, could hardly wait to eliminate the members of the Tomorrow Society. He did not want to be targeted any longer, so he burned all his remaining strength to unleash the great law.
As a law realm expert, he accurately seized the opportunity created by the gap of the Supreme Order Cauldron and directly pierced into the core area, missing the chance to injure the members of the Tomorrow Society inside the formation by just a tiny bit.
Seeing this, Ji Qing and the others also assisted, quickly causing the formation to fall apart within a short time.
They were only a step away from breaking through.
Although the power of the Spirit Formation relied on the main formation master, the most critical factor was still the spirit energy.
The main formation master only improved the utilization of spirit energy, but if there was fundamentally insufficient spirit energy, even the strongest main formation master could not exert any power.
The Earthly Evil Extreme Cold Great Formation still could not withstand multiple law realms.
“…”
Yun Ye remained silent as the nature of the formation’s power rapidly changed, gathering towards him.
Ji Chongtian inadvertently disrupted his plan and failed to gather the final resonance.
Perhaps it was because the Fire Commanding Kite was not present that the power of fate weakened, which left Yun Ye feeling helpless.
Let’s directly enter the next phase.
“Spirit energy is gathering!”
Ji Chongtian and the others instantly noticed the change. Were they trying to forcibly activate a new celestial phenomenon?
Then they only had one response.
Kill!
“Boom!”
Four law realms unleashed their power without reservation. The unimaginable force made most members of the Tomorrow Society cough up blood, forcing them to consume spirit pills to recover.
However, after repeated repairs, the spirit pills were losing their effectiveness.
Repeated injuries and repairs caused irreversible damage to the spiritual essence, especially under the influence of law realm power.
As the Earthly Evil Extreme Cold Great Formation could not withstand it any longer, the strands of law realm power overwhelmed the mortal bodies.
“Spiritual Roots… ignite!”
Someone, on the brink of death, burned their power and spread their last strength through the formation flag to temporarily prolong the barrier for the formation.
And with the first to ignite, the chain reaction began.
The second, the third.
More and more.
This was the result of returning to normal after the Fire Commanding Kite was absent. To overcome the strong with the weak came with a cost!
Yet, even this kind of sacrifice had its limits.
Only thirty-six people could sacrifice themselves here.
As the numbers dwindled to twenty-four, the formation fell into the brink of collapse, and Yang Shu yelled:
“Rice! Hurry!!”
Yun Ye opened his eyes, and a pitch-black sphere that devoured all light appeared between his hands, though none knew when it had arrived.
“I’m here! Three strikes… let’s settle it with these three strikes!”
“Either survive!”
“Or die!”
