Chapter 490: The Four Powers of the Dream Princess

"Reversal of karma!"

"I grant you death!"

The flesh-winged horse-like demon activated the granting death spell once again, revealing the world’s karma before it.

It fabricated the "result" of Yun Ye’s death and then constructed the "process" accordingly, thrusting its spear with dazzling brilliance.

Since this move was called Reversal of Karma, it didn’t matter if there was a process; even if someone tried to block the spear midway, the result would not change.

In other words, once this spell was cast, the enemy was in a state of death.

Wounds and similar afflictions would appear instantly, without any impact process.

To negate this strike, one could only rely on the same Reversal of Karma!

The flesh-winged horse-like demon launched its third attack, having set aside its previous nonchalance, and focused intently on the human before it, trying to see through his actions.

Then it suddenly realized that this human was utterly ethereal, completely elusive.

Was the aura of Mystic Heaven?

Yes, it did sense the fluctuation of Mystic Heaven, but the pressure was not that of the Mystic Realm!

What was the strength of this human’s Mystic Heaven?

Heavenly grade?

Everything slowed down; with the keen senses of a top-level demon, the material world was no longer in its consideration, as it observed Yun Ye from multiple dimensions.

No movements?

Is it a false body?

Unlikely; it could clearly perceive the weight, unmasked weight!

So why wasn’t it moving?

As the power of magic descended, it rewrote karma.

“Boom!”

In that instant, a vast aura flashed by, and the power of rewriting karma was directly covered, failing to produce any effect. Immediately after, the brilliant power rushed down, also not stirring even a ripple, blocked by some force.

This force even had a brief moment of spontaneous expansion but was forcibly suppressed, disappearing from the surface of this human.

"Unable to penetrate the defense of self-Mystic Heaven… This vast aura, Cave Power? In this era, another monster like this has been born?"

The flesh-winged horse-like demon’s expression turned grave.

As an exceptionally ancient demon, it had witnessed Cave Power several times; even the king of the Manifest Realm appeared extremely weak against this power. It was the ultimate force among cultivators, even surpassing the Royal Path in importance; the Royal Path merely represented the strongest of the current age, but Cave Power could be the strongest of all time.

It realized that something was off; the Cave Power was too strong. Even the weakest singular aspect of Cave Power was capable of creating a being that its clone could not contend with.

The power this monster had just displayed was sufficient to indicate it did not belong to the weakest type of Cave Power; otherwise, even a clone with only one in a billion of its true power would still be at the peak of this four great powers realm, not something a beginner in the Mystic Realm could challenge.

What did this human intend to do? Why not eliminate it?

It raised its forelegs; the brilliance spilled forth, and its body began to disintegrate.

No matter what, abandon this task and return to your true self. Fighting this monster will only bring about a lot of trouble.

In the distance, the young man raised his hand, as if intending to do something, but in the next moment, he lowered it again.

"I wanted to study you— that’s what I intended to say."

"What a pity…"

Yun Ye watched the flesh-winged horse-like demon leave.

Just before taking action, he felt an inexplicable threat, sensing the terrifying background of the flesh-winged horse-like demon.

For the time being, he did not want to provoke an enemy of this level, whether demon or human.

"One of the Four Powers of the Dream Princess, the Judgment Authority, just one of its subordinates reaches the realm of the king of the Manifest Realm, and not just any ordinary king of the Manifest Realm, as it wields the authority of judgment with Reversal of Karma… It seems that while humans lack the Royal Path, demons might not lack a Monster King."

Yun Ye saw some things through the rules and pondered for a moment.

From what is known, humans are bound by a lifespan limit rule, while demons are not.

Mortals live for a hundred years, in the spiritual realm for two hundred years, in the law realms for four hundred years, in the Mystic Realm for eight hundred years, in the True Realm for sixteen hundred years, and at the Honored Position for three thousand two hundred years.

And finally, upon reaching the Royal Path, one could live for six thousand four hundred years.

This rule is not completely fixed; devouring vitality or being overly powerful can extend life, but not by much.

The only ones who can truly break this rule are those who have the power to Open Heaven and Earth. As long as they create a world of their own, they can prolong their lifespan according to the strength of that world.

This can be seen as a reward from the heavens, or it can be understood as the Open Heaven and Earth beings themselves being able to resist some of the world’s rules, but not entirely.

And this is the rule for humans; demons do not have this issue. As long as their vitality is strong enough, they can almost live forever.

Some demon clans have even had ancestors who have not died, yet their group has evolved into another race, much like fish evolving into beasts.

This situation is quite strange and terrifying; even if demons evolve rapidly under the push of spirit energy, it is not a brief timeline. It is very possible that some demons have lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Without cultivation methods, these demons do not form a "heaven" covering the mortal world; only by visibly demonstrating their power will people realize that this is indeed an entity on par with the Royal Path.

Humans establish nations, with many areas needing to be avoided; otherwise, a single turn from the top-level demons could annihilate the entire nation.

Yun Ye still needed to cultivate; even though he felt utterly invincible, he continued to pursue cultivation. His rivals were not just the Royal Path but also the True Immortals.

In a flash of light,

Yun Ye approached the black square to observe.

"Indeed, this is the manifestation of the Power of Rules? Its level surpasses that of the Killing Power, and it should be closer to the essence of the World God; is it a branch that has split off?"

Yun Ye activated the Time Spirit Law and attempted to observe the past once again.

However, he still failed, only seeing endless darkness expanding from this point. This must be the starting point of the World God’s descent.

The Ming Rihui Sword was used to seal this power, not the other way around.

"Indeed, it was the Tomorrow Nation that actively initiated the great ritual, drawing part of the World God, and later sealed it for some reason."

Having gained the power to Open Heaven and Earth, he could tentatively consider himself qualified to see what this black square truly was. However, since he could not truly restore the complete picture, everything was merely his speculation, and deviations would not be surprising.

Yun Ye flew up to the black square, reaching the bottom layer of the beam of light. A sword wrapped in water and fire, reflecting the world, was inserted into the black square. The figure of Tomorrow, dressed in a black dress, sat on a dark throne, eyes tightly shut and sleeping, imprisoned by numerous black chains.

"Has the sealing lasted too long and been eroded? At this rate, it seems that within a few hundred years, this thing will break free."

Yun Ye frowned and grasped the Ming Rihui Sword. The moment he connected, black threads spread from his fingers, and in an instant, Yun Ye glimpsed countless chaotic and vast pieces of information.

This was an unparalleled mental pollution, like a heavy hammer striking Yun Ye’s mind, shattering it into fragments. The Heavenly Dry Universe operated automatically, and the power to Open Heaven and Earth rose between his fingers, directly erasing the black threads. A multitude of chains sensed the problem and changed their targets, locking onto Yun Ye.

This was a kind of chains of rules, making Yun Ye feel an indescribable pressure, far surpassing the sense of oppression given to him by magical artifacts.

He had to exert all his strength to activate the power to Open Heaven and Earth; in that moment, chaos enveloped everything, the world evolved, and shadows contended with the dark chains, preventing them from getting even a fraction close to Yun Ye.

"Awakened, Tomorrow!"

Yun Ye unsheathed his sword.
