Invincible through Touching Corpses

The Magma Demon King wasn’t surprised by the Charm King’s sudden appearance. After all, what had just been torn apart by the Space Power was only one of her clones.

In fact, when it came to self-preservation, the Charm King was the absolute strongest among their 108 Demon Kings.

As long as she used a concealment array to hide her true body and only operated outside using clones, she was untouchable.

Nevertheless, a look of surprise still appeared on the Magma Demon King’s face. He wasn’t surprised by the Charm King’s sudden appearance, but by the words she had spoken.

"You mean this massive backlash from the Heaven and Earth Rules is aimed at the Lord Divine King?"

"That’s impossible! Hasn’t the Lord Divine King always stayed within the Divine Palace...?" As he spoke, the Magma Demon King suddenly trailed off.

He remembered the arrangements the Divine King had made ten years ago, when the first Abyssal Passage to the Earth Plane had just been opened.

’Could it be...?’ His gaze instinctively turned toward the core region of the Abyssal Plane.

...

The core region of the Abyssal Plane was not as desolate as its outer reaches. However, the vast majority of trees and plants here were a grayish-black color.

Of course, that was all secondary. The greatest difference between the core and the outer regions was a special type of energy in the world called Primordial Qi.

Primordial Qi was the very foundation of an Abyssal Creature’s Cultivation, much like Blood Qi Power was for humans.

This was also why energy crystals, known as Elemental Crystals, formed within the bodies of Zombies.

Therefore, for Abyssal Creatures, the richer the concentration of Primordial Qi, the more beneficial it was for increasing their power.

Yet in the very core of the Abyssal Plane, the Primordial Qi was so dense it was on the verge of liquefying—an absolute Cultivation Sacred Land.

But not a single Abyssal Creature dared to approach such a Cultivation Sacred Land.

For here stood a magnificent palace, its area comparable to that of a city, and this palace was the residence of the Lord Divine King.

However, whenever Abyssal Creatures gazed upon this Divine Palace from afar, the first thing to capture their attention was never the magnificent palace itself, but rather the massive, several-hundred-meter-tall statue standing before it.

The statue was incredibly lifelike, but its most striking feature was the giant chain clutched in its hand.

As this chain extended outward, it continuously branched out, ultimately becoming thousands upon thousands of individual chains.

Strangely, the ends of these chains did not lead to any physical location, but terminated in the void.

It gave the impression that these countless chains had locked down the entire world.

Suddenly, a terrifying Power of Heaven and Earth Rules appeared in the distance, surged forward, and slammed into this imprisoned world.

Instantly, the world imprisoned by the chains began to tremble violently.

At the same time, countless array runes instantly materialized on the giant, several-hundred-meter-tall statue. Streams of a profound aura flowed into the chains, seemingly in an attempt to forcibly stabilize the world.

This method quickly took effect, and the world’s tremors visibly weakened.

But on the distant horizon, vast new torrents of the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules appeared, all surging toward this very spot.

If one were to count carefully, they would discover twenty-three such torrents of the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules.

Including the first torrent that had already arrived, there were exactly twenty-four in total, corresponding to the twenty-four Abyssal Passages.

CRACK! CRACK!

As the subsequent waves of the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules arrived, the world didn’t just shake violently—fine cracks began to appear, as if Space itself was about to be torn asunder.

The chains snapped, inch by inch. As the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules swept past, the Array runes on the massive statue were extinguished at a rate visible to the naked eye, before the stone sculpture itself cracked and shattered.

With the statue’s destruction, the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules immediately shifted its target, surging toward the magnificent palace.

But the magnificent palace seemed to be enveloped in a strange Energy. The moment before the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules could strike, it vanished from the world into thin air.

With its target gone, the remaining Power of Heaven and Earth Rules raged on the spot for a full fifteen minutes, grinding everything in the area to nothingness before slowly dissipating.

When it all faded, not even soil or rock remained, leaving only a massive, pitch-black void.

Suddenly, above this void, the phantom of a palace appeared. This illusory palace rapidly solidified, reappearing in its original location.

Held aloft by some mysterious power, the entire palace hovered in the void, as if nothing had happened.

Then, on a throne in the deepest part of the palace, a man who was both demonic and majestic slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

"How interesting. To think someone could find a loophole in my Heaven-Covering Array and break through to the Marrow Tempering Realm, triggering the World Will’s self-audit and causing a Rule backlash against me."

"I’m rather curious to see whether you’re just lucky, or if you’re genuinely capable."

A smile played on the man’s lips as his pupils reflected scenes of all creation. The images shifted constantly before slowly settling on a single frame.

In a Cultivation Room, a young man sat in a pool of water. Just as the Divine King was about to get a clear look at his face, the image suddenly shattered.
