Chapter 609: Chapter 529: Saint Law Celestial Monarch Returns

百首天君’s response made the atmosphere between both parties suddenly become harmonious.

The Mystic World Demon Race’s performance lived up to the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s assessment of them.

Even though they deeply admired Wan Chenxin, they would not become echoing followers of the latter, showcasing their ability for independent thought.

"Since our ideals align, I think we can collaborate extensively at the strategic level."

"If possible, ordinary people from both realms should also engage in appropriate exchanges to promote friendly development between the Human Race and the Demon Race."

Wu Luo True Monarch spoke with a shallow smile.

"It would be my pleasure."

Fellow Daoist Bai Shou also showed a smile.

But immediately, the red-haired lady withdrew her smile and solemnly asked:

"Fellow Daoist Bai Shou, may I ask where is the Holy Law Governance Council, which once oppressed your world?"

"Members of the Holy Law Governance Council are all subordinates and informants of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity. If they are not completely eradicated, I fear changes might occur."

At first, Hundred Heads Celestial Monarch glanced at Gui Yuan among the Blue Star envoy group, then said in a deep voice:

"After the sudden disappearance of the Demon Mother, it seems the Holy Law Governance Council caught some wind and hid before we could act."

"Without the Demon Mother’s monitoring, we cannot find the hiding place of those shadows."

"They might have secretly left long ago, or perhaps they, along with the Mystic World, have arrived near Blue Star."

Hearing this, the faces of Wu Luo True Monarch and the three Human Race Divinity Transformation cultivators changed.

All those shadows have hidden away?

Doesn’t that mean they could launch an attack at any time?

And at the moment this thought emerged in their minds, a figure identical to Gui Yuan suddenly appeared in the shadow under her feet.

It was the leader of the Holy Law Governance Council, the Saint Law Celestial Monarch.

"You cannot issue the holy edict."

The shadow of Gui Yuan immediately issued a decree to the original upon appearance.

As a shadow created a hundred thousand years ago, Saint Law Celestial Monarch replicated the peak period of Gui Yuan.

Currently, Gui Yuan herself had not yet recovered to her peak state, and having consumed a lot of her essence in the Taixu World to save Su Yuan, her hard strength was actually weaker than the shadow.

Subject to this surprise attack, Gui Yuan’s strongest technique was banned, reducing her combat power by seventy to eighty percent.

After the successful strike, the Saint Law Celestial Monarch grabbed Gui Yuan’s throat, and black shadow-like tentacles surfaced from her body as if about to melt, slowly wrapping around Gui Yuan.

"My body is finally going to be complete."

Saint Law Celestial Monarch stood behind Gui Yuan, clinging together like twin sisters.

Her icy gaze swept over every Divinity Transformation cultivator present, coldly she said:

"I ask you not to act rashly. Today, I only come for my original form."

"If you insist on fighting me, I do not mind having the three Divinity Transformation Ancient Celestial Monarchs under my command—Ancient Celestial Monarch, Jun Yan Celestial Monarch, and Epidemic Celestial Monarch—engage in a skirmish, unleashing an indiscriminate offensive against Blue Star and the Mystic World."

An Xingran, Shen Zhou, and all three Mystic World Divinity Transformation cultivators looked extremely displeased.

So many Divinity Transformation cultivators present, yet the Saint Law Celestial Monarch succeeded in a surprise attack despite their preparedness; it was humiliating indeed.

Though truth be told, they sure relaxed a little.

After all, standing on Wan Chenxin’s tree body, they subconsciously believed it to be safe, resulting in a lower guard.

In the end, Wan Chenxin had stated neutrality, really staying neutral, not saying a word even when the enemy ventured under his allies’ feet.

But at the core of it all, the Abyssal Shadow was simply too powerful.

As a derivative ability of the Primordial Dao, the shadow it creates in stealth mode cannot be detected by any conventional means.

Unfortunately, the only person who could uncover the Abyssal Shadow, Su Yuan, was still in seclusion, or else the enemy would never have had the chance to exploit any loophole.

"Saint Law Celestial Monarch, release Gui Yuan, and we can let you leave safely."

The three treasure swords behind Shen Zhou unsheathed, locking firmly onto the Saint Law Celestial Monarch with their sword intent.

Saint Law Celestial Monarch calmly replied:

"I have longed to merge with my original form for a hundred thousand years, and now that the opportunity arises, I will not let go."

"Even if as soon as I merge with my original form I am killed by you, I am willing to accept."

As she spoke, the shadow formed by her body grew increasingly aggressive, like a murderer’s fangs, little by little swallowing Gui Yuan.

Despite this, Gui Yuan’s original did not appear overly flustered.

The blood and flesh on her body yet untouched by the shadow quickly surged, showing signs of splitting and escaping.

The trick she learned from her friend the Decaying Celestial Monarch involved severing most of her blood and Divine Soul to escape at the expense of her tail.

Although the side effects of this method are significant, it’s surely better than being completely devoured by the shadow.

Saint Law Celestial Monarch naturally noticed this as well, and without hesitation, intensified her devour.

And in the midst of their standoff, an invisible chain suddenly extended from the void, instantly locking the Saint Law Celestial Monarch, freezing her in place, unable to move.

Seizing the opportunity, Gui Yuan swiftly broke free from the shadow’s embrace, retreating behind her companions.

"Is this... the Primordial Lock?"

Upon seeing chain marks appear on the body of the golden-haired girl who looked identical to herself, Gui Yuan displayed a look of astonishment.

And as Gui Yuan had guessed, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Senior Gui Yuan, why is it that you always end up getting hurt?"

"In the Taixu World and during combat with the Demon Mother senior, and just now nearly getting eaten, is it some kind of susceptible physique?"

Accompanying a sound, Su Yuan slowly emerged from the void, clearly showing Nascent Soul Peak cultivation.

A hint of embarrassment washed over Gui Yuan with Su Yuan’s playful comment.

Thinking it over, she indeed seemed somewhat out of luck.

But immediately, her attention was drawn by the aura emanating from Su Yuan’s presence.

It’s not that Su Yuan possessed any kind of enchanting quality, rather the aura he emitted was extremely volatile, akin to an unstable bomb ready to detonate.

Coupled with his soaring cultivation levels, it was pretty evident what was transpiring with Su Yuan.

He was forcibly breaking through in order to rapidly grow stronger.

If he does not appropriately handle this explosive cultivation, he might explode and die.

"Su Yuan, why be so hasty?"

Wu Luo True Monarch, whose face appeared somewhat childlike, said with some concern.

"Unusual times call for unusual actions."

Su Yuan directed his gaze toward Saint Law Celestial Monarch, carrying intense battle intent in his eyes.

"To suppress this explosive cultivation, isolation won’t work—I need a fierce battle, a battle that could put me at the brink of death."

"Saint Law Celestial Monarch, will you be my whetstone?"

Faced with Su Yuan’s unabashedly provocative gaze, Saint Law Celestial Monarch chuckled faintly:

"Su Yuan, your performance is truly impressive; your rate of improvement surpasses even the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity. No wonder the Demon Mother suddenly defected after a brief encounter with you."

"Very well, since you wish Divinity Transformation cultivators to be your opponents, I shall humor you."

"But beware, using me to sharpen your blade, be cautious as it might break the blade!"

Not one to delay, the pressure emanating from Saint Law Celestial Monarch surged, shattering the Primordial Lock binding her, allowing her renewed freedom of movement.

In a flash, Saint Law Celestial Monarch vanished from her spot, reappearing right before Su Yuan.

Suddenly, a massive golden riding lance appeared in her hands, towering three times her height, thrusting fiercely toward Su Yuan’s head.
