C.3432: Surrounded
Disturbed by the Book of the Populace, the Nether Sovereign was unable to dodge its attack as easily as before. He could only take it on forcefully.
Immediately, the Nether Sovereign’s body merged with the surrounding space, becoming one with it. He wanted to borrow the endless space to disperse the attack.
At the same time, his Laws of Devouring turned into a colossal black hole, swallowing everything in the surroundings, immediately devouring the Book of the Populace.
The Book of the Populace shone with blinding and dazzling golden light. Terrifying ripples of energy rushed out endlessly like waves, making the Nether Sovereign’s black hole shake violently.
The black hole rapidly dissipated the Book of the Populace’s power, but the Book of the Populace let out a greater and greater pressure inside the black hole too.
Boom!
However, in less than three seconds, the black hole created by the Nether Sovereign’s Laws of Devouring exploded. The Book of the Populace’s power had surpassed the limits of what the black hole could withstand, forcefully rupturing it.
Afterwards, the Book of the Populace did not weaken at all, slamming towards the Nether Sovereign with devastating power.
Wherever it passed, space fractured en masse. A range of several billion kilometres was reduced to eternal darkness. Countless stars turned to dust, having been torn apart by the Book of the Populace.
With a great rumble, the Nether Sovereign was heavily injured, having been scattered into over a dozen shadows by the power of the Book of the Populace. The Profound Heaven Plane he had devoured also became mostly exposed.
The Nether Sovereign’s presence immediately became extremely haggard.
He had yet to recover from his old wounds. He was a sovereign of the world, but his strength was nowhere close to his prime condition. Now that he had suffered a heavy blow from the Book of the Populace, he immediately became extremely feeble.
“Hahahaha, your void body no longer possesses any advantages before the Book of the Populace. There is no void that can withstand its power.” Daowei Fatian laughed aloud. Looking at how feeble the Nether Sovereign had become, he felt extremely delighted.
In a distant time, the Nether Sovereign of the Saints’ World was a terrifying existence that struck fear into him at merely the mention of his name. If he encountered the Nether Sovereign, he did not even have the ability to flee. Only death would await him.
But now, the supreme expert he had feared so much back then had become so feeble, which put him in high spirits. He felt like he was unstoppable.
“Nether, you can’t even protect yourself now. I’d like to see how you guard the Profound Heaven Plane. The weapon that Ancient Paths is forging will never be created.”
Daowei Fatian extended a finger as he laughed aloud. The Book of the Populace immediately hurtled towards the Profound Heaven Plane with surging energy.
This time, there was nothing that the Nether Sovereign could do anymore. His current state was extremely pessimistic. He could only barely preserve his own life.
As the Book of the Populace was about to land on the Profound Heaven Plane, a figure enveloped in the light of ways suddenly appeared, extending a hand towards the Book of the Populace.
Four ways radiated from the hand, giving off a terrifying power that was enough to startle Daowei Fatian.
Boom!
The slender hand collided against the Book of the Populace like two major worlds had slammed together. The deafening boom was startling, terrifying, and shocking.
The power of the four ways clashed intensely with the Book of the Populace’s power. In the end, the Book of the Populace’s power was overwhelmed and got sent flying, returning to Daowei Fatian’s hand.
The Book of the Populace was completely undamaged, but the power that Daowei Fatian had channeled into the book was completely depleted, such that it immediately dimmed.
“Master!”
“It’s the Anatta Grand Exalt!”
“Fantastic, the Anatta Grand Exalt has made it back. We don’t have to worry about the book anymore.”
......
…
On the Profound Heaven Plane, the twelve Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes stared at the figure in the air. They were all reinvigorated.
Suddenly, the Anatta Grand Exalt moved. She immediately crossed through space and arrived before Daowei Fatian, forming a seal with her hands. The power of the four ways condensed into a profound symbol of laws, which she sent towards Daowei Fatian mercilessly.
“Anatta, you are very powerful, but you’ve already suffered a backlash of the ways. Whenever you strike, it’ll only worsen your injuries. I’d like to see just how long you can last,” Daowei Fatian roared furiously. He was extremely stern. Even when he had the Book of the Populace, he did not dare to be careless when facing the Anatta Grand Exalt.
After all, she was a terrifying sovereign who had comprehended four ways to completion!
Surging energy erupted violently from Daowei Fatian’s body. The Book of the Populace in his hand shone with dazzling light again before he brought it before him.
With an alarming boom, the symbol of ways from the Anatta Grand Exalt and the Anatta Tower slammed against the Book of the Populace at the same time. The destructive energy swept through outer space, directly leaving Daowei Fatian staggering backwards and flushed in the face.
“Jing’er, Anatta has already returned. I can’t last for any longer. Where exactly are you…” Daowei Fatian rapidly retreated while speaking through the Book of the Populace.
This time, he had truly run out of patience.
“Has the Anatta Grand Exalt already returned?” Fang Jing, who hid carefully beneath the capital city of the Pingtian Empire, was surprised before gradually becoming eager. “You old bastard, I hope you can die here and never return to the Immortals’ World, or I’ll never find peace.”
On the other side, Daowei Fatian, who was forced into a retreat by the Anatta Grand Exalt’s furious attacks, could not help but develop doubts after never receiving a response.
“Is that girl Fang Jing in the Saints’ World or not? Or does she already know something, which is why she’s intentionally hiding and refusing to show herself?” For a moment, Daowei Fatian’s eyes shone with uncertainty as he became uneasy.
“Whatever. I can only take things slowly with that girl. As for Ancient Paths, I've already lost the opportunity now that Anatta and Nether are here. I can only retreat for now.”
Daowei Fatian wiped away the blood on the corner of his lips. He was already prepared to leave.
But at this moment, the world membrane suddenly appeared, blotting out billions of kilometres as if it was trying to replace the cosmos.
With a sweep, the world membrane engulfed everything and turned into a sphere, sealing up the colossal space here.
The Profound Heaven Plane, Nether, Anatta, and Daowei Fatian all appeared inside the membrane.
“I’ll trap Daowei Fatian. You go and chase away the others from the Immortals’ World,” said the Wind Venerable from the world membrane.
In the next moment, the world membrane suddenly shrank and Anatta, Nether, and the Profound Heaven Plane appeared outside it.
Now, only Daowei Fatian remained within the world membrane!
“The might of the book is extraordinary. Are you certain you can keep him trapped?” the Anatta Grand Exalt said sternly. Even she was unable to hold back the Book of the Populace’s power unless she used her fourth law.
“I don’t know. I need to try and see.” The Wind Venerable’s voice rang out, also filled with sternness. He did not dare to be careless at all when facing Daowei Fatian who wielded the Book of the Populace.
“You’re dreaming if you think you can trap me!” Daowei Fatian sneered from inside the world membrane. He studied the surroundings coldly before launching a streak of resplendent light with the Book of the Populace that slammed against the world membrane.
Boom!
The world membrane shook violently. The golden stream of energy from the Book of the Populace made the top of it protrude. The circular world turned into an oval at that moment.
