Finally!

Lin Lang arrived at the mysterious forest—

The trees towered into the clouds, lush with leaves, as if it were an isolated secret realm.

Under the cover of night.

The inside was pitch dark.

Like an unknown black hole leading to nowhere!

...

Lin Lang landed on the ground, feeling the light mist permeating the forest, his gaze very calm.

But within it flickered a trace of murderous intent!

"Ning Shuangyu, I will definitely find you!"

Lin Lang murmured to himself.

... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He stood at the edge of the forest, not rushing to step in.

He closed his eyes and focused, mobilizing his Divine Sense to investigate the forest’s interior.

However!

Unexpectedly!

His Divine Sense seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, completely isolated outside the forest.

"Oh?"

Lin Lang opened his eyes.

He had never encountered such a bizarre situation before!

This forest seemed like an independent world, entirely isolated from the outside, even his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate it!

"This place is not simple."

However, Lin Lang didn’t lose his composure.

This world is filled with too many inexplicable things.

Believe in yourself, remain unchanged to respond to any changes.

This was his way of handling various issues!

And then!

Lin Lang used his Eye of Destiny—

He saw!

The whole forest was shrouded in a thick black aura!

That aura exuded eeriness and weirdness, making one’s heart feel cold.

The more critical matter is!

Under the Eye of Destiny!

Black aura represents danger!

Golden light represents opportunity!

"It seems, indeed, there is a significant danger hidden here."

Lin Lang muttered to himself.

However.

Fear is impossible!

...

Lin Lang, very composed, took determined steps.

He stepped into the forest shrouded in black aura.

But!

The moment he stepped into the forest!

Lin Lang suddenly felt an invisible pressure descend from the sky!

Heavily pressing down on his shoulders!

Restricting the flow of Spiritual Qi within his body!

This involuntarily made him frown!

...

This pressure!

Lin Lang was all too familiar with—it was the Power of Law!

But unlike the Power of Law he felt before!

This one also carried an indescribable chaos and chill!

That was... the Power of Evil Spirits!

"That means there’s an evil spirit here... or an evil spirit that has mastered the Power of Law."

Lin Lang immediately felt an ominous premonition—

Ning Shuangyu encountered not an ordinary fierce beast, but a powerful evil spirit!

This place is not some Alternate Space!

But a domain carefully arranged by the evil spirit!

In this domain, the evil spirit’s power is greatly enhanced, and outsiders will be severely suppressed!

Lin Lang looked around, trying to use Divine Sense to sense Ning Shuangyu’s position.

But regrettably, he still couldn’t capture any information about Ning Shuangyu!

This couldn’t help but make him worried.

Could it be that Ning Shuangyu has already...

No, impossible!

Lin Lang quickly dismissed this thought.

He firmly believed that Ning Shuangyu was still alive, just temporarily screened by the evil spirit’s power.

He carefully considered, coming up with two possible reasons:

First, this evil spirit’s domain is too powerful, even his Divine Sense can’t penetrate it!

Second, Ning Shuangyu’s Divine Sense Mark has been erased or screened by the evil spirit through some means!

In any case.

It means an unprecedented trouble—

To Lin Lang, evil spirits are naturally not trouble.

But for others, they are an existence that should not be disturbed!

...

However, Lin Lang was not panicked,

He knew well that the more critical the moment, the calmer one must be.

He continued to move forward.

His figure loomed in and out of sight in the night, like a fierce leopard.

Ready to face the unknown challenges ahead.

...

The further he ventured into the forest!

The more severe the pressure on Lin Lang’s body became!

Perhaps because he’d stayed here too long?

Lin Lang activated his Law Body!

Attempting to merge into this Power of Law to remove it!

Unfortunately!

This Power of Law also harbored the evil Power of Evil Spirits!

Lin Lang’s Law Body found it very disdainful!

Instinctive rejection!

Unwilling to integrate!

But!

Lin Lang realized—

This power suppressing him, making him unable to use his superpowers, is called the Law of the End!

This law forces all beings entering this domain to revert back to their most primal mortal state, with superpowers completely sealed!

Law!

An existence that transcends everything!

It represents rules, which no living being can breach!

For instance—

The Law of Life dictates that humans need to breathe to live!

No matter how powerful an individual is, they cannot change this basic necessity!

Similarly.

Within this domain shrouded by the Law of the End!

No matter how strong Lin Lang is, his superpowers cannot be used!

He is forced to revert to a mortal state!

However!

Even when faced with such a predicament!

Lin Lang’s heart remains unflustered—

This is not a facade!

Because!

The source of Lin Lang’s power isn’t limited to just superpowers!

Apart from superpowers, he possesses a strong physical body of the Martial Arts Sacred Body, invincible combat power, and formidable recovery strength in self-healing!

Also, the Law Body’s keen perception and resistance to law powers!

These strengths are what he has accumulated little by little!

This is his true foundation!

"Hmph, even if I can’t use superpowers, so what?"

Lin Lang sneered inwardly.

"I’m not reliant solely on superpowers as a trump card."

He took a deep breath and mobilized the Martial Arts Sacred Body within himself!

Muscles faintly bulged under his clothes, emitting a slight glow.

The Law Body also resonated subtly with the surrounding law powers.

Allowing him to maintain a certain amount of freedom of action under the suppression of the Law of the End.

...

At this moment!

Ning Shuangyu and the members of the Special Agent Bureau’s exploration squad!

Are trapped deep inside a dark and deep cave, surrounded by cold stone walls.

Inside the cave, the sobbing of several female members echoed, filled with remorse and gratitude:

"Captain Frosty, you got so seriously injured to save us!"

Ning Shuangyu quietly lay on a rough stone slab, her face pale as paper, her breath weak and rapid, obviously seriously injured.

Everyone recalled the thrilling scene just moments ago—

Moments ago!

They were felling trees for exploration!

Unknowingly activating a mechanism!

The sky and earth suddenly changed color!

An extremely cold force surged into the sky, covering the entire forest in a blink!

At that moment!

They immediately sensed—

Their Superpower Core unexpectedly extinguished!

Superpowers could no longer be used!

What’s worse!

A mass of black gas suddenly attacked them!

Without their superpowers, they couldn’t resist at all!

At the critical moment!

Ning Shuangyu stepped forward!

Even though she too had lost her superpowers!

But she swung her dagger, and on the dagger, a semi-transparent figure suddenly appeared!

That figure released a force as if it could shake heaven and earth!

Dissipating the mass of black gas!

Gaining precious time for everyone to escape!

Allowing them to hide in this seemingly safe but actually dangerous cave.

...

Faced with that unknown and terrifying creature, they were helpless, only able to curl up fearfully in a corner of the cave.

"Wh-What exactly is that?"

A tremble overtaking a member’s voice, filled with fear and confusion.

Ning Shuangyu opened her mouth with difficulty, her voice very weak:

"It’s... an evil spirit."

An evil spirit?

This term was an enigma for most, utterly foreign.

They had never heard of such an existence, nor understood the kind of horrifying power it possessed.

In fact.

The secrets about evil spirits were currently only known to members of the Martial Arts Squad and a few core leaders of the Special Agent Bureau.

Because evil spirits are too terrifying, once made public, it would surely incite mass panic.

"Since you know what it is, surely you have a way to save us, right?"

A female squad member’s voice tinged with a hint of plea, her gaze locked tightly on Ning Shuangyu, as if she was their only lifeline.

Ning Shuangyu shook her head, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes:

"Call... Lin Lang... phone..."

Someone picked up Ning Shuangyu’s already shattered phone; despite the screen cracked, it was barely usable.

They hurriedly opened the messaging interface for Ning Shuangyu, intending to send out a cry for help.

However!

When they pressed the send button, they discovered that the message couldn’t be sent!

The evil force seemed to have transformed the entire forest into an airtight prison!

Not only stripping away their superpowers but also severing their contact with the outside world.

On this land shrouded in despair!

They felt like abandoned orphans of the world, helplessly awaiting destiny’s verdict!
