Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Demigod’s Past and Grudges!
Inside the Hall of Judgment, the air froze completely.
The projection of the 7th Observer hovered silently in the air.
Around her, emerald-green lights of creative rules swirled, like an eternal galaxy.
As she gently raised her finger, a Rule Avatar composed of 36 stars slowly took shape in the center of the hall.
It was a humanoid being made entirely of pure creative rules. It had no face, no limbs—just a swirling orb of green light.
Inside the orb, countless life runes flickered in and out of existence, exuding an air of endless vitality.
Even with a mere 36-star cultivation level, the fluctuation of rules around it far surpassed that of any Saint-stage expert at the same rank.
The 7th Observer’s voice rang out, ethereal and echoing through the vast hall: “The trial begins now.”
“This Rule Avatar has infinite life recovery. You have only one chance.”
“Either destroy its core, or be swallowed by it completely.”
Before the words even faded, the green orb moved instantly.
Its form expanded to a ten-meter diameter, and countless creative-rule vines gushed out wildly.
At the tips of the vines were sharp bone spines, like venomous snakes, diving toward Logan’s vital spots.
Each vine carried the raw power of creative rules.
If struck, countless life spores would rush into your body and completely rewrite your life structure.
In the viewing gallery, Violet’s heart tightened.
She gripped the edge of the screen tightly, her golden vertical pupils fixed on the arena without blinking.
She wanted to rush in to help, but the rule power on the screen flung her back violently.
Nel tightened her grip on her short blade, and her twelve physical avatars instantly split off.
But the moment the avatars touched the screen, they shattered into a shower of light particles.
This was the trial ground of the Ancient Tribunal; no one but the trialer himself was allowed to interfere.
The spear in Bobbi’s hands trembled slightly as he pushed his Phase Folding ability to its limit.
He was searching for a loophole in the screen’s rules, ready to step in and support Logan at any moment.
In the center of the arena, Logan stood still, his body unmoving.
His five-spiral DNA spun at high speed, and five bands of rule light flashed rapidly in his eyes.
He didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he observed.
He studied how this Rule Avatar operated and watched the birth and death patterns of the creative rules.
Infinite recovery, Logan thought to himself.
This shared the same underlying logic as the Devouring Rule’s endless endurance.
One relied on devouring external energy to recover, while the other used the self-generated creative rules for infinite regeneration.
To destroy it, I had to completely seal its path to recovery.
I must use a five-rule closed loop to lock down the flow of creative rules.
Just as the vines were about to pierce Logan’s forehead, he finally moved.
Logan raised his right hand, and silver threads of time-rule condensed rapidly in his palm.
This time, it wasn’t the ethereal energy form of the Void.
Instead, it condensed into a solid, silver-white long blade covered in clock runes.
Rule Manifestation: Blade of Time!
Logan gripped the Blade of Time and slashed forward violently.
“Time Freeze!”
Cold time rules erupted instantly, locking the flow of time within a 100-meter radius.
The vicious, lunging green vines froze mid-air.
Even the life cycle of the Rule Avatar itself came to a complete halt.
For the first time, its infinite recovery ability showed a fatal gap in the face of Time Freeze.
Immediately, Logan clenched his left hand.
A golden Space Rule gathered in his left palm, forming a half-person-tall round great shield.
The shield’s surface was carved with Space Fold runes, exuding an aura of absolute solidity.
“Rule Manifestation: Shield of Space!”
Just then, the three-second window of Time Freeze ended.
The Rule Avatar let out a silent, piercing scream.
The frozen vines exploded with speed, and an endless tide of green creative energy surged toward Logan.
This energy was strong enough to rewrite the life structure of a 36-star Saint instantly, turning them into mindless plants.
Logan remained calm, holding the Space Shield in front of him.
The chaotic creative energy slammed into the shield’s surface.
The runes on the shield flashed brightly as the folded space expanded layer by layer.
All the impact was reflected back by the folded space.
The green energy wave rebounded and crashed violently into the Rule Avatar itself.
Most of the life runes on the orb’s surface shattered instantly.
The light orb churned violently.
However, instead of damaging its foundation, the rebounded creative energy was quickly absorbed by the Avatar.
The cracks on the orb’s surface healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Its infinite recovery ability was active again.
In the viewing gallery, Violet couldn’t help but shout, “Master, be careful! It can absorb its own energy to recover!”
Logan’s lips curled into a faint smile.
He had been waiting for exactly this moment.
The Space Shield in Logan’s left hand dissipated.
A jade-green Creation Rule condensed in his right palm, turning into a sapphire-green staff covered in living veins.
“Rule Manifestation: Scepter of Creation!”
Holding the Scepter, Logan pointed forward gently.
The same source of creative rules poured out from the tip of the scepter and flowed backward into the Avatar’s light orb.
This power held no aggression.
Yet, it perfectly neutralized the Avatar’s life recovery mechanism.
It was like two perfectly matched keys, locking the opponent’s rule flow.
The cracks on the orb, which had been healing rapidly, froze instantly.
The Rule Avatar’s infinite recovery was completely sealed.
Feeling a fatal threat, the Rule Avatar’s orb suddenly contracted.
It turned into a streak of green light, attempting to flee into the Void.
It knew clearly that without its recovery ability, it had no chance against Logan.
But Logan didn’t give it a chance to run.
Behind Logan, the pitch-black Destruction Rule condensed rapidly, forming a massive bow entirely black and etched with destruction runes.
On the bowstring, an arrow formed purely of Destruction Rule was drawn and ready to fire.
“Rule Manifestation: Bow of Destruction!”
Logan drew the bow to his side, his cold eyes locking onto the Rule Avatar as it fled into the Void.
Without a shred of hesitation, he released the string.
The black arrow sliced through the Void, vanishing from sight in an instant.
The very next second, a shrill scream echoed from within the empty space.
The arrow had pierced the core of the Rule Avatar’s light orb with perfect precision.
The orb churned violently, and countless life runes shattered in chaos.
A massive, unhealable crack appeared at the core.
Even with its core pierced, the Rule Avatar had not yet vanished completely.
Its soul fragments turned into a streak of green light, attempting to flee toward the 7th Observer.
Once back by the Observer’s side, it could be reborn.
But Logan had been expecting this.
From his brow, gray-white Soul Rules surged out, forming countless fine chains that instantly spread across the entire Hall of Judgment.
“Rule Manifestation: Chains of the Soul!”
The chains wove together into an impenetrable net, wrapping tightly around the Rule Avatar’s soul fragments.
As the chains tightened, they completely sealed the fragments’ escape route.
Logan gently clenched his fingers.
The Soul Chains snapped shut, causing the soul fragments to shatter and vanish utterly within them.
Silence instantly returned to the Hall of Judgment.
The emerald light of creative rules dissolved into the air.
The trial was over.
In total, it had taken less than ten seconds.
The massive mental power drain caused Logan’s energy level to plummet instantly from 75 stars down to 72 stars.
His five-spiral DNA throbbed with pain, and the cracks on its surface widened slightly.
The screens in the viewing gallery flickered and vanished.
Violet, Nel, and Bobbi immediately rushed to Logan’s side.
Violet scanned Logan up and down to ensure he was unharmed, her anxiety finally easing as she said, “Master, as long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters.”
Nel and Bobbi also let out a sigh of relief.
They stared at the five rule weapons hovering around Logan, their eyes filled with shock.
They understood exactly what Rule Manifestation meant.
It signified that Logan’s mastery over the five rules had reached the level of a Demigod.
Even though he was currently only a Legend stage at 72 stars, his true combat power was now strong enough to face a complete Demigod head-on.
From the sky above, the projection of the 7th Observer descended slowly.
Gazing at the five weapons surrounding Logan, her ethereal eyes showed a hint of approval for the first time.
The green light around her swayed slightly; she was clearly surprised that Logan had managed to reach such heights.
“Five-Rule Balancer,” the 7th Observer said, “you have passed the final trial.”
“Your control over the rules exceeds my expectations.”
Logan dismissed the weapons around him and looked at the Observer with a calm expression.
“I can take the inheritance now?”
The 7th Observer nodded slightly.
She raised her finger, and a green light orb drifted slowly toward Logan.
Inside the orb was the complete heritage of Rule Manifestation technology.
From the condensation of rules to their physical form, and finally to the stability of the weapon’s shape—all the methods were recorded within it.
Logan reached out and took the orb, his five-spiral DNA scanning it instantly.
He memorized every part of the inheritance, storing it completely within his Soul Sea.
He could clearly feel that his mastery over the five rules had reached a whole new level.
Just then, the 7th Observer’s voice rang out again: “Do you intend to fight the Origin Devourer?”
Logan’s pupils contracted slightly. He looked up at her. “You know him?”
The 7th Observer nodded. “He was once the direct disciple of the 9th Observer from the Ancient Tribunal.”
“He was beyond talented and was the chosen successor for the next Observer.”
“But he broke the Tribunal’s laws by cultivating the forbidden Devouring Rule.”
“He advanced by devouring the souls and rule foundations of his peers, until he was finally banished by the court.”
A tidal wave of shock surged through Logan’s heart.
He finally understood where the Origin Devourer’s Devouring Rule came from.
He also finally understood why Kane had defected.
