Chapter 1122 - 509: Resentful Monarch_2

The Lamp Keeper was about to respond when suddenly, his expression, along with that of Cang Ya and Ling Shu, dramatically changed!

Boom!!!!

The entire Boundary Tower experienced an unprecedented violent tremor!

Within the tower, the harmonious small world, the light screen of the sky, flickered madly, as if it would shatter at any moment!

"Oh no!" The Lamp Keeper cried out in horror, "It’s ’them’! They’ve discovered this place!"

"How is this possible!" Cang Ya roared, grabbing the massive stone axe behind him, his entire being filled with battle intent, "The Boundary Tower has the ability to block ’coordinates’; those ’shadows’ shouldn’t be able to find us!"

"It’s... it’s him!" Ling Shu’s intelligent eyes were now filled with fear, she stared firmly at Dao Ruins, "It’s not that the tower was discovered! Instead, they are following the ’traces’ of Dao Ruins sir!"

Dao Ruins, this "variable" that doesn’t belong to "illusion."

His arrival was like lighting a torch in the dark night, one that even the king’s Dream Realm couldn’t completely obscure!

He brought "hope" to the Lamp Keeper.

And also brought, the most terrifying "disaster" to this last refuge!

Dao Ruins slowly turned, his chaos-colored eyes penetrated the light wall of the Boundary Tower, looking out at the distorted spacetime.

There.

An indescribable "colossal shadow" was slowly "seeping" out from the fundament of "existence."

It had no fixed form.

Sometimes, it turned into an ocean of pure "malice," pitch-black.

Sometimes, it transformed into a giant cold vertical pupil, composed of the "despair" from countless shattered worlds.

Its aura was billions of times more terrifying than any Gui Xu creatures Dao Ruins had encountered before. The "malice" was so pure, so condensed, it was as if it was the embodiment of the concept of "malice."

"It’s... one of the seventy-two pillars under the king’s throne—the Monarch of Ink Shadow!" The Lamp Keeper’s voice had a quiver of despair, "It’s the Resentful Monarch! Damn it, why must it be them! Their rank is well within the top ten of all monarchs!"

Just a trace of the "Resentful Monarch" seeping out made the external distorted spacetime more turbulent, more chaotic.

Countless fragments of spacetime wailed under the burden of its aura, before utterly "dissolving" into the purest "nothingness."

It was "clearing the field."

It proclaimed its arrival in a manner of reigning supreme over the world.

It had only one target.

That was the one who dared to peek into the king’s slumber and escaped the king’s will—the "anomaly."

The light of the Boundary Tower, under the pressure of its aura, was rapidly dimming at a visible speed.

The world within the tower had already started to show cracks.

The earth was cracking, streams were drying out, the few celestial cranes let out cries of terror, and their bodies were gradually turning into fragments of light.

"It’s over... everything is over..." Cang Ya’s hand holding the giant axe trembled slightly. He wasn’t afraid; rather, he felt a profound sense of helplessness in the face of absolute power disparity.

This was not an enemy they could contend with.

Even if they were at their peak, facing a Monarch of Ink Shadow, they would still be instantly obliterated.

However, amidst this despair.

Dao Ruins moved.

He did not look at the three hopeless Lamp Keepers.

He just calmly raised his right hand.

On his eternally unchanging face, in those chaos-colored eyes, the newly awakened "battle intent," at this moment, seemed to find an outlet, roared and ignited!

He could not directly challenge that "king."

But if the watchdog had come knocking.

Then, he would first slaughter it.

Dao Ruins’ figure disappeared from his spot.

In the next moment, he was already outside the Boundary Tower, facing the slowly descending terrifying "Resentful Monarch."

He stood, alone, before the final "coordinate."

Inside the tower, the three Lamp Keepers, through the soon-to-be-broken light wall, saw a scene they would never forget.

Before the "Resentful Monarch" whose presence was enough to make the epoch tremble.

That solitary figure appeared so tiny.

Tiny as a speck of dust.

But, it was this "dust" that radiated a supreme brilliance that even the monarch’s "resentment" could not overshadow!

"Dao..."

A voice, indistinguishable between male and female, yet containing the ultimate truth of the universe, slowly emerged from Dao Ruins’ lips.

"...where... it... is."

Rumble!!!!

The entire Restricted Area of the Sea of Realms Dam, all the "laws," all the "principles," at this moment, began to reconstruct centered around Dao Ruins!

With those four words, the whole world seemed to have its pause button pressed.

No, not pause.

It was being "rewritten."

With Dao Ruins as the origin, his decree-like will as the pen, a supreme "principle," an absolute "order" unfolded silently like a cosmic storm, sweeping furiously in all directions!

The "space" twisted into a mess in this storm was forcibly "smoothed," restored to its primal flatness and vastness.

"Time," rushing like a waterfall, solid like amber, was forcibly "unified" in this storm, returned to its most constant flow rate.

The "blade of time" on the left, compressed by galaxies, its billions of stars in cycles of birth and death, suddenly froze, then its blade shattered bit by bit, turned into pure space dust, and the starlight dissipated like illusions blown away by the wind, vanishing into invisibility.

The fragment of the dam on the right plunged into "eternal now," its "repetitive" state broken, the Gui Xu Fierce Beast maintaining a paw-lifting stance, upon regaining freedom, couldn’t even let out a roar, and was erased from existence under the "correct" spacetime rules because it was never meant to be here.

The mirages of "past" and "future," melted quickly like snow under a blazing sun.

Just within a few breaths, this corridor twisted to the extreme by the aura of the "Resentful Monarch" had been forcefully "calibrated" into an absolute deathly silence, an absolutely normal void!

This was a "Domain" of the "Dao"!

Here, Dao Ruins was the sole truth!

Inside the tower, Cang Ya, with a hand whitened by exertion from gripping the giant axe, his anger and agitation completely replaced by a profound, almost dazed shock.

"What... what kind of power is this?" he muttered dryly, "He didn’t use any mana... he merely... said a sentence..."

"No, he wasn’t casting a spell." In Ling Shu’s beautiful eyes, the light of wisdom had transformed into raging waves, her delicate body trembling as she spoke word by word, "He was... ’defining.’ He imposed his own understanding of ’correctness’ upon this world. In his domain, anything that doesn’t conform to his ’understanding’ becomes a ’fallacy’ and will be... corrected!"

The Lamp Keeper’s calm eyes were now turbulent waves. He saw a deeper layer of meaning.

Dao Ruins’ actions seemed like "Purification" of this area, but in essence, it was a more domineering, more unreasonable "erosion" than the "Resentful Monarch’s" pollution!

The Resentful Monarch’s pollution is "twisting," turning the "normal" into "abnormal."
