"Hehe, what do you think?"
Seeing the pitiful expression of Leo in front of it—visibly trying to manipulate its spiritual qi but only in vain—the twisting shadow nearby couldn't help but smile, finding Leo's somewhat desperate expression amusing.
However, at the same time, while he found Leo quite amusing, the twisting shadow's mind was thinking of something else, pondering as it found Leo's existence somewhat strange.
"Weird, I had never seen this kind of race in the past; not only did this one contain life and death forces that contradict each other, but he also contained space and void energy... Hmm, even his soul was unique, seemingly able to evade restriction.'
Gazing at Leo's spiritual, qi which was moving at a slow speed, a thing that shouldn't have occurred in the first place upon manipulating traces of the power within the ancient towers around it, its curiosity further deepened.
It could be said that, although the reserve power within the ancient buildings around it already diminished due to the passage of time, only containing thirty percent of their past might, a 0.01 percent of their energy was already enough to give a Nascent Soul realm trouble for a while, not to mention a late stage of the Core Formation realm.
"You were really not fun at all; if it was in my era, cultivators would surely say, "Spare me, senior; I still have a wife at home who had just conceived a twin". Sigh..." S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Looking at Leo, whose struggle began to falter, clearly starting to notice that he had no malice toward him, the twisting shadow shook its head, clicking its fingers afterward, causing the power that drilled within Leo's being to vanish in an instant.
"Cough, thank you senior..."
Finally feeling the lost sensation return to him, allowing him to manipulate the spiritual qi within his solidified core, Leo couldn't help but shed tears inwardly. Gasping for a while as the uncomfortable sensation within him finally vanished.
"This is simply scary; if I'm not wrong, the unknown being uses a high-level formation. Fortunately, he didn't harbor any malice, or else I might be dead right now.
"I see, it's not that my soul scan skill wasn't working anymore, it's just that the realm of the being opposite me was far beyond my expectations, making my soul scan skill unable to discern any information from it.
Finally, understanding that the other party's realm was probably beyond his knowledge, Leo heaved a sigh of relief, fortunate that the other party found him quite amusing.
Although it was somewhat disgraceful to act this submissive, Leo could only swallow his shame in order to live.
"Well, if I think of it carefully, it was basically my fault. Who told me to lose composure?
"However, something seems wrong; my emotions in the past few weeks have never been this unstable, even so easily irritated... If I find something unpleasant, I often gauge the danger it carries before attacking."
Thinking of it carefully, Leo began to notice that something was amiss, as if someone had just manipulated his emotions. However, the worst part is that he hadn't even noticed it or knew what affected his emotions.
"A demon might be prone to mental corruption, but a Void Wanderer is different."
"Oh, so you finally notice it?"
Noticing that the young man in front of it suddenly stopped talking, visibly manipulating his rules to protect its body, the eyes of the twisting shadow nearby couldn't help but glow a little — satisfied that the young man opposite it immediately noticed the problem despite his attempt to distract him.
"Senior, please clarify."
***
Soon, after a lengthened conversation, the twisting shadow, who was in the mid-sentence, suddenly halted its speech; its being abruptly stiffened as its voice became constrained yet venomous.
"Those hateful races, not only did they enter this world forcefully, but they also began to tinker with the array that I left behind!
"Only if my power was still at its peak... No, even if my energy wasn't limited, I would surely kill them all!"
Oozing with great malice, causing the ancient building nearby to shudder with great intensity, followed by the pinkish fog that was hovering within the atmosphere — shrouding the heaven and earth to churn endlessly — the twisting shadow's anger soon receded, sighing with helplessness as its obstructed figure seemed to lighten considerably.
"Sigh, the past is the past; with my remnant soul that was about to enter the underworld, troubling myself further seems inappropriate, or to be exact, simply tiring."
Hearing the helplessness within the other party's voice, Leo, who had just regained his composure from the obstructed shadow's earlier outburst, couldn't help but wipe the illusory sweat from his forehead — unable to help but develop fear from the unknown prowess the other party contained.
Although the anger wasn't directed at him, the feeling of death still reflected within his mind, making him quite sure that if the other party wanted him dead, he wouldn't be able to resist.
However, despite that, Leo also noticed that the twisting shadow's prowess seemed limited, at least not enough to destroy the things that bothered it.
"Senior, are you talking about the beast race?"
Sensing an opportunity to finally earn horror points, Leo, after pondering for a while, immediately asked the twisting shadow in front of him. While doing so, his mind also processed the words they discussed earlier — mostly related to the Law and some basic knowledge that greatly filled some holes within his knowledge.
Greatly benefiting him and allowing him to see his future path more clearly.
"I see, so Law was a kind of force that was far beyond rules. Although the difference in the grade between the two was only one, the power that the Law contained simply couldn't be breached by countless complete rules."
It could be said that not only does the Law contain the advantage of a complete rule, but its ability to evade the Law, and even change it to one's advantage was simply mind-blowing. A power that almost rivals a god!
"However, in order to learn it, one at least needed to comprehend 5 complete rules under the same categories. Based on what the twisting shadow had said, only a being above the Soul Formation realm could wield this kind of power."
