In that room, an extremely bright and dazzling holy white light burst forth from Li Er's body!

This light is not the purifying holy light of Gabriel, which is full of religious connotations, but a light of law that carries a righteous spirit and contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth!

The holy light, like a rising sun, opened up an absolute domain with a radius of tens of meters beneath the dark and oppressive thunderclouds!

Under this holy light, Li Er's hair and beard stood on end!

His white beard and long hair danced wildly in the raging air currents, while his originally hunched body stood tall and straight like a pine tree, like a living saint who stepped out of ancient mythology, dignified and inviolable without anger!

The human emperor beneath the thunder was preparing to receive his final baptism when he was startled by this sudden, overwhelming aura.

His hollow eye sockets, burning with purple flames, turned toward Li Er at the center of the domain.

"Um?"

The Human Emperor sensed the extremely uncomfortable power of the laws and roared with a deafening sound, demanding:

"Who are you?!"

"How dare you trespass into my place of tribulation?!"

However, Zhou Huai had no intention of answering his question. Villains die from talking too much; he always believed in the truth of striking while the iron is hot.

The thirty seconds of Saint's Domain time is extremely precious; not a single second can be wasted!

His gaze was fixed on the Emperor, who was at a critical juncture where his old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had not yet emerged.

Li Er slightly opened his mouth, his tongue crackling like thunder.

"retreat!"

The moment the word was uttered, heaven and earth were astonished!

The supreme power of words becoming law, under the blessing of the Saint's domain, transformed into an inviolable rule!

The human emperor, who had been standing proudly between heaven and earth, preparing to withstand the final heavenly lightning, suddenly trembled!

"Bang!"

His massive body inexplicably took a large step backward!

This is not as simple as taking a step back!

This step back was like pulling the sluice gate of a reservoir, directly interrupting his hard-won, steadily rising momentum against the odds!

A fatal crack appeared in that indomitable spirit that dared to contend with the heavens!

The Emperor's expression suddenly changed drastically, and the purple flames in his eye sockets began to flicker violently, almost extinguishing.

Damn it!

"You actually stopped me from breaking through!!!"

"I will kill you! I will tear you to pieces!!!"

The Human Emperor roared, his voice filled with resentment and bitterness at his failed attempt. He frantically mobilized the remaining power within him, wanting to crush the white-haired old man who had ruined his plans into a pulp.

"Kill me?"

Zhou Huai, controlling Li Er, sneered mockingly, "You talk a big game, but unfortunately... you won't have the chance!"

Just as the Human Emperor was shouting for battle, the thunderclouds in the sky sensed the weakening of this heaven-defying figure's momentum.

"BOOM—!!!"

The final, and most terrifying, deep purple, world-destroying lightning bolt crashed down with overwhelming power!

Under the suppression of the purple lightning, the Human Emperor didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, and had no chance to attack Li Er!

Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, Zhou Huai pushed the remaining power of the laws within his body to its limit.

He looked at the Emperor, whose back was bent under the weight of the thunder, and uttered three chilling words in succession.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Words become law, triple effect!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Three invisible ripples of rules slammed into the Emperor's chest.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The Human Emperor's charred body was struck by three invisible giant hammers in succession, and he was completely out of control and staggered back three steps!

After taking these three steps back, his previously accumulated momentum, which was like a punctured ball, plummeted to its lowest point!

"No--!!!"

He could no longer contend with the devastating purple lightning bolt overhead.

The purple lightning bolt pierced through his defenses without any resistance and struck his cracked, dark gold skull.

"Ughh...

A bloodcurdling scream, filled with utter despair, echoed throughout the entire Abyss of Mist.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone.

This once-powerful emperor, who was just a step away from transcending the rules, collapsed backward with his massive, charred body, like a collapsing mountain.

Finally, it crashed heavily into the bottomless abyss of the cave behind it.

Endless darkness swallowed up this king of the old era.

The earth stopped trembling, and the ancient war drums ceased abruptly.

The world fell silent.

Above the sky, the deep purple thunderclouds swirled and rolled several times in mid-air after losing their target.

Then, the edges of the thunderclouds began to dissipate, turning into specks of purple light that merged into the void.

Sunlight pierced through the haze and shone on the scorched earth outside the Abyss of Mist.

Zhou Huai had no interest in appreciating the scenery after surviving the disaster.

When the Human Emperor fell off the cliff, he had already separated his consciousness from the body of the Great Sage Li Er and transferred it to a distant high ground, where it attached itself to the body of Da Yi.

Da Yi gripped his longbow tightly, staring at the white-haired old man who was still standing in the golden light of the Saint's Domain dozens of meters away.

"Come on... let me see just how terrifying this backlash really is." Zhou Huai gritted his teeth inwardly.

Just now, he manipulated Li Er to forcibly interfere with the world's cleansing tribulation.

That is a divine punishment that even those who have transcended the mundane must be wary of!

Even if the Saint's Domain skill can reduce the backlash effect by 90%, the remaining 10% is still something that a level 21 professional cannot withstand.

Zhou Huai had even prepared for the worst—that Li Er would be reduced to ashes on the spot and enter a 24-hour resurrection cooldown period.

Although it hurts, this deal is worth it no matter how you look at it, in order to eliminate the huge variable of the Human Emperor.

One second.

Two seconds.

Five seconds...

Time passed slowly, and the air was very quiet.

However, the devastating thunderbolts that were expected to represent the punishment of the rules did not arrive for a long time.

Li Er's hunched yet upright body remained firmly in place; he was not reduced to ashes, and not even a piece of his clothing was scorched.

Even as the thirty-second time limit of the Saint's Domain ended and the white light dissipated, the old man leisurely stroked his white beard, looking remarkably energetic.

"What happened?"

Zhou Huai, possessed by the Great Archer, frowned. "Is Heaven blind? Or is there a bug where words become law?"

Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a series of crisp and melodious system notification sounds, like heavenly music, suddenly rang out from the depths of his mind!

【Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 10,000,000 merit points!】

When the notification tone ended, Zhou Huai froze, his mind going blank.

"One...ten...hundred...thousand...ten thousand...hundred thousand...million...ten million!"

Zhou Huai's consciousness counted the long string of dazzling zeros on the panel in his sea of ​​consciousness, his breathing became heavy, and even Da Yi's hand holding the bow was trembling.

"Ten million!!!"

"A full ten million merit points!!!"

He had previously sent Li Er to capture ancient tribesmen all over the Great Xia Kingdom to use as "power banks," and despite all that hard work, he only managed to accumulate a little over a million merit points.

Now, just because he shouted ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) "Retreat, retreat, retreat!" three times at a crucial moment, he suddenly became rich?!

"Hahaha! I see! So this is the correct way to realize the merit points of 'Words Become Law'!"

Zhou Huai shouted with wild joy in his heart, "The Human Emperor is a rebel against the heavens, and the Heavenly Dao is going to strike him down. I helped the Heavenly Dao step on him, and the system not only did not judge me for interfering with the tribulation, but also treated me as an enthusiastic citizen and directly gave me a huge reward for my act of bravery!"
