Creating Heavenly Laws

"Finally, I'm out."

Lin Yuan squinted his eyes, savoring the taste of freedom. Even though it hadn't been calculated before his arrival, Xiahou Yuan had been suppressed for five years. Lin Yuan himself had spent a full twenty years in the depths of the earth's eighteen layers.

These twenty years were most torturous, with the constant oppression of the six black chains. In the latter ten years, he had rid himself of the black chains but still had to endure the omnipresent oppressive force at the deepest part of the Great Abyss.

For twenty long years, there was no freedom, no entertainment, only endless darkness and coldness. If it were an evolver from the main world with an age of only one or two hundred years, they would probably have collapsed mentally long ago.

This had nothing to do with strength but was a test of willpower and mentality. Fortunately, Lin Yuan had undergone three transmigration, and his mental fortitude had been sufficiently tempered to endure it.

To sustain it, he had to take the most torturous method, which was also the safest and had the fewest risks.

"Take a few more breaths." Lin Yuan sucked dry the aura of the surrounding hundred miles, feeling his body moisturized as if it had encountered a long-awaited rain after a drought.

In the depths of the Great Abyss, Lin Yuan had spent ten years recovering to the peak of the Ninth Rank (or realm, it's the same), which was Xiahou Yuan's full strength.

However, when he broke through the eighteen-layered gate, there was some depletion, and now he had the opportunity to continue his recovery.

After all, Xiahou Yuan's peak strength did not represent Lin Yuan's peak strength. However, for Lin Yuan, the peak strength of the Ninth Rank was enough to make him fearless.

The same knife, placed in the hands of an ordinary person versus a master of knife skills, naturally had different deterrent effects.

With Lin Yuan's level of control over his strength and the numerous secrets he possessed, if the Tianjianzi from twenty-five years ago dared to appear in front of him, he would be suppressed within dozens of moves at most.

In contrast to Lin Yuan's joy of escaping, the leaders of the guards, led by Zhao Si, were trembling and weak in the legs. My God. Who did they see?

The legendary demon king Xiahou Yuan, who terrorized the Five Realms twenty-five years ago? This, this, was this something they could face?

Zhao Si's mind was a mess. These guards, even the remnants of the demon path, could handle them, let alone the legendary demon king himself.

"It's over." Zhao Si sat down on the ground.

There wasn't even a thought of escape. What a joke? Although they didn't know the exact state of the legendary demon king now, even if he was weak, dealing with them, third and fourth-ranked individuals, could be done with just a glance.

If they tried to flee now, it would only hasten their time of death. Zhao Si and the other guards lowered their heads, not even daring to look at Lin Yuan, afraid of attracting the attention of this demon king.

Several miles away, the demon leader, who had been planning to retreat, noticed the commotion at the entrance to the Great Abyss and subconsciously turned back to look.

"Your Majesty." The demon leader was immediately stunned. Even though they hadn't seen each other for twenty-five years, she recognized the tall figure standing outside the entrance to the Great Abyss at first glance.

"Your Majesty." The demon leader's subordinates eyes widened. Many of them had never seen Xiahou Yuan before, but since the demon leader was so sure, no one doubted anything.

Whoosh. Without thinking, Guardian Nuan (demon leader) turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the entrance of the Great Abyss. In just a few breaths, she arrived in front of Lin Yuan.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain that the man in front of her was the legendary demon king, Xiahou Yuan.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The demon leader's heart surged, kneeling down and speaking with excitement.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The other demons who had rushed over also knelt down one after another.

"Nuan Shu" Lin Yuan glanced at the demon leader casually and said.

In Xiahou Yuan's memory, Nuan Shu was the child he had picked up and had followed him since childhood.

Precisely because of this, when Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, and the demon kings dispersed, only Nuan Shu was thinking about how to save his Majesty. In terms of loyalty, Nuan Shu could be considered the most loyal among the demon kings.

Although loyalty was the most meaningless thing for a demon king, Xiahou Yuan was able to command the demon kings of the Five Realms not because of loyalty but because of absolute strength and the invisible suppression of the demon kings.

Especially the latter.

Hundreds of miles away.

A sword light came rushing.

"These damn remnants of the demonic path, they come every once in a while."

Jiang Jianke was furious.

As a supreme powerhouse at the peak of the Eighth Stage, sitting in the bitter cold of the Northern Domain's Great Abyss, he was already feeling uncomfortable.

After all, the aura of heaven and earth near the Northern Domain's Great Abyss was thin. Staying here for a long time, let alone advancing further, would be difficult to maintain the current realm.

And the higher the strength and realm, the deeper the feeling.

If it weren't for Tianjianzi personally inviting him and promising a few rewards, Jiang Jianke wouldn't have come here.

Even so, Jiang Jianke wouldn't foolishly stay at the entrance of the Great Abyss. Instead, he stayed away from the Great Abyss and found a place to seclude himself a hundred miles away.

This distance, once something happened at the Great Abyss, he could also rush there quickly.

"This time, I must teach those remnants of the demonic path a lesson so that they won't recover for years."

Jiang Jianke had already made up his mind.

In the past, when Jiang Jianke arrived, those remnants of the demonic path had already fled.

Jiang Jianke didn't pursue them because even if he killed the demon leader, there would be no benefits, and he might even get injured.

But this time, Jiang Jianke changed his mind.

If he didn't show his strength, those demonic remnants would probably become even more reckless.

"Hmm?"

Just as Jiang Jianke rushed to the Great Abyss at top speed.

Suddenly, he froze.

Because he found that the aura of heaven and earth from all directions was rushing towards the Great Abyss.

Even within the range Jiang Jianke had rushed to, tens of miles around were like this.

"What on earth is happening?"

Jiang Jianke was shocked.

Being able to mobilize such a large range of aura of heaven and earth near the Northern Domain's Great Abyss was not an easy task.

At least Jiang Jianke thought it was difficult for him to do so.

It was estimated that only a powerhouse of the Ninth Stage would have the confidence.

But this Great Abyss? If it weren't necessary, which Ninth Stage powerhouse would come to this remote place?

"Could it be those demon lords coming to save Xiahou Yuan?"

Jiang Jianke furrowed his brows slightly.

The demon lords of the Five Realms had always been heartless and unfaithful, especially the Ninth Stage demon lords. They wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of others, let alone come to rescue Xiahou Yuan?

Jiang Jianke thought it was unlikely.

Without Xiahou Yuan, those demon lords would be free to do as they pleased, beyond even Tianjianzi's control. Why would they come to rescue Xiahou Yuan, inviting trouble for themselves?

Moreover, the eighteen-layered gate at the entrance of the Great Abyss, even if several Ninth Stage powerhouses joined forces, would take half a year or even several years to break through, and Tianjianzi would never give them so much time.

"Perhaps it's a treasure?"

Jiang Jianke suddenly thought.

In addition to Ninth Stage powerhouses being able to forcibly mobilize such a large range of aura of heaven and earth.

Certain treasures could also cause phenomena in the heavens and the earth. However, with the current commotion, if it were really a treasure, it would surely have a significant origin.

"It's my chance."

Jiang Jianke's eyes gleamed slightly, continuing to fly towards the position of the Great Abyss.

He was prepared. If he glanced from afar and it was really a treasure, he would take it for himself.

If it was those Ninth Stage demon lords, he would turn around and leave.

Although Jiang Jianke was not an opponent of the Ninth Stage demon lords, if he kept his distance, he could still escape.

Whoosh.

Soon.

Jiang Jianke arrived several miles away from the entrance of the Great Abyss.

"Let me see."

Jiang Jianke stood in mid-air, scanning with his gaze.

But the next moment, he froze.

He saw a tall man in tattered clothes standing at the entrance of the Great Abyss.

The remnants of the demonic path, led by Nuan Shu, were kneeling in front of him, whispering something.

"Xiahou Yuan!!!"

Jiang Jianke's scalp tingled.

Without hesitation, he frantically fled in the opposite direction.

How could he not have thought that the one causing such a commotion would be Xiahou Yuan himself?

Wasn't he supposed to be sealed by Tianjianzi, unable to move his flesh and soul? Wasn't he thrown into the eighteenth layer of the Great Abyss, enduring endless suppression day and night?

How did he escape??

Jiang Jianke's mind was in chaos, and he had only one thought.

That was to run.

And then go to Tianjian Sect and scold Tianjianzi for being unreliable, causing him such a scare.

"An Eighth Stage?"

Lin Yuan was listening to Nuan Shu's report on the situation over the years.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Jianke who was fleeing madly.

"Your Majesty, he is Jiang Jianke, in charge of this place."

Nuan Shu also looked up and immediately recognized this 'acquaintance'.

"Perfect."

Lin Yuan raised his right hand and grabbed the void.

Boom!

The vast aura of heaven and earth gathered into a giant hand.

Separated by ten miles, Jiang Jianke, who was like 'dust,' was grasped in the hand.

"No!!"

Jiang Jianke's mind trembled, struggling desperately.

Unfortunately, under the immense power of heaven and earth, Jiang Jianke, like real 'dust,' after splashing a few waves, disappeared completely.

Bang.

The giant hand slowly clenched.

Jiang Jianke exploded directly, turning into a large cloud of blood mist.

Immediately after.

Lin Yuan, who was at the entrance of the Great Abyss, gently sucked again.

All the blood mist and essence of the soul turned into a long dragon, all of which were sucked into Lin Yuan's abdomen.

Compared to directly devouring the aura of heaven and earth, directly plundering the blood and essence of a strong person was naturally more efficient, and almost all demon kings longed for it.

"Your Majesty."

Beside him, Nuan Shu swallowed hard.

She wasn't surprised that Lin Yuan had directly consumed Jiang Jianke as nourishment. What shocked her was Lin Yuan's strength. Jiang Jianke was a peak Eighth Stage expert, and if he wanted to flee, even an ordinary Ninth Stage might not be able to stop him.

Moreover, Jiang Jianke had already started fleeing from such a distance.

Nuan Shu originally thought that Lin Yuan's strength would be greatly weakened while suppressed in the depths of the Great Abyss's eighteen layers. But now it seemed completely unfounded.

From the power Lin Yuan had just demonstrated, he was no weaker than Xiahou Yuan, who was at his peak twenty-five years ago.

"Jiang Jianke is gone like this."

Zhao Si and the other guards looked numb. They had a sliver of hope in Jiang Jianke. Before Nuan Shu and the other remnants of the demonic path arrived, Zhao Si had contacted Jiang Jianke.

Although Zhao Si's strength was weak, he also knew that even Xiahou Yuan, forcibly coming up from the eighteen layers of the Great Abyss, must have paid a huge price.

Therefore.

As long as Jiang Jianke, a peak Eighth Stage expert, arrived, Xiahou Yuan might be frightened away.

In this way, they would naturally be saved.

But things went against their wishes.

Not only did Jiang Jianke fail to drive away Xiahou Yuan, but he was also eaten by Xiahou Yuan.

"Hmm."

Lin Yuan swallowed Jiang Jianke's essence of blood and spirit, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Jiang Jianke's essence of blood and spirit did indeed greatly replenish Lin Yuan's consumption.

However, during the absorption, Lin Yuan faintly felt that traces of Jiang Jianke's soul impurities were beginning to affect him.

Of course, for the current Lin Yuan, these soul impurities could easily be wiped out.

It's just that if Lin Yuan wanted to use this method to restore his strength and break through his realm in the future, a small quantity wouldn't matter, but if there were too many, it would affect the purity of his own soul.

"This technique of swallowing the heavens for evolution is indeed peculiar."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The method he had just used to devour Jiang Jianke came from the secret technique of 'Swallowing Path' for evolution.

This evolutionary path relied on consuming all things to replenish oneself.

Of course, the more one consumed, the more likely one's own spiritual intelligence and consciousness would be affected.

In the demonic path techniques, there were similar methods, but the efficiency of devouring was far inferior to the secret technique of 'Swallowing Path' for evolution.

Once this secret technique spread, it would definitely become the holy technique and divine technique of the demon kings in this world.

"Let's go."

"First, let's find a quiet place."

Lin Yuan glanced at Nuan Shu, who was still in shock, and said lightly.

"Yes."

Nuan Shu's body trembled at the words.

Then she led Lin Yuan to a nearby stronghold.

It wasn't until Lin Yuan and the others had completely left that Zhao Si and the other guards reacted.

"We...we survived?"

Many guards burst into tears. Only the heavens knew that they had already prepared their last words just now.

"In Xiahou Yuan's eyes, perhaps we're not even ants."

Zhao Si let out a long sigh of relief, silently thinking to himself.

It wasn't that Xiahou Yuan was kind, but he simply couldn't be bothered to deal with the weak.

Of course, the premise of not acting was that the weak didn't make any other moves. Just now, if these guards made any slightest movement, whether rushing up or fleeing, they would definitely have died.

"When Xiahou Yuan emerges from the Great Abyss, the Five Realms will change."

Zhao Si regained his composure and looked towards the direction where Lin Yuan had left, this thought surging in his heart.

Several days later.

The news of the legendary demon king Xiahou Yuan emerging from the Great Abyss after twenty-five years of suppression spread like a hurricane in all directions.

For a moment.

The Five Realms trembled.
