Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 399 Great Merit

The ultimate being has created a universe within its body, and therefore every action it takes contains cosmic power.

Even in an inner universe with only one spacetime rule, the naturally formed cosmic boundary can cause the spacetime rule of the present world to recede, forming a cosmic rule domain where words can become law!
Within this domain of rules, even the most powerful peak-level Eternal Realm experts are powerless to resist and can only be slaughtered at will.

The reason why gods and dukes who have mastered the rules of dual spacetime are able to contend with ultimate beings is because the rules of the world within their bodies are powerful enough to shatter a single spacetime rule!
Just like the operation of spacetime in the present world, it is only based on the current rules. Therefore, when Lin Qing's strength was unleashed, all spacetime in reality collapsed!

At this moment, the entire Immortal Nest world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

All the candidates stared in awe at the incomparably majestic World God.

The gap is too big.

They had no doubt that even if everyone joined forces, they wouldn't last a single move against this world god!
Even the strongest at the peak of the Eternal Realm are powerless against the ultimate beings, and they are equally powerless against those at the level of Divine Lords and Dukes.

Moreover, it's not just the huge gap in strength, the gap in talent is even more outrageous!

How could someone become a powerful figure at the level of a God-King or a Duke after only a few million years of cultivation?
Unbelievable!
"Since Mr. Lin Qing has spoken, I will naturally not presume to do so."

Qi Gu Tian Shen was quite decisive. He immediately put away his enormous and majestic skeletal body, returned to his original form, and retreated trillions of miles.

For a powerful individual like him who excels in techniques involving massive divine bodies, he is acutely aware of just how astonishing the gap between them is.

The size of a divine body represents the upper limit of its power. His proud cosmic skeleton body is only a trillion miles tall, while the opponent's divine body is dozens of times taller, and its actual power is probably more than a thousand times stronger!
Just like before, the other party wasn't targeting him at all; the aftershock of the spacetime storm created by their single step easily sent him flying!
"Royal God."

Lin Qing looked at Yu Tianshen and said indifferently, "Didn't you say you wanted to see just how capable I really am?"

Yutianshen's expression froze.

"...It was my fault for being blind; please forgive me, Mr. Lin Qing." Yu Tianshen gave a wry smile, retracting his Endless Light Domain, and sighed, "I didn't expect Mr. Lin Qing to be a Divine Lord-level expert. If I had told you earlier, I wouldn't be in this predicament..."

He now understood why Lin Qing had been so forceful before.

He actually got a powerful expert at the Divine Lord level to help him with all his might and give up this competition?

Even though he is the personal disciple of the Immortal Realm Universe Lord, he should be even more careful because his master is the strongest human being, so as not to disgrace his master's name.

So, when he first asked Lin Qing for help, he was willing to offer half of the benefits of capturing the immortal spirit as a reward. But when he realized that the other party seemed a bit arrogant, he stopped arguing.

But he truly never imagined that the other party, who had only cultivated for millions of years, would actually be such a powerful expert!
"Would you believe me if I told you in advance?" Lin said calmly.

Yutianshen was taken aback.

Also.

He wouldn't believe anything unless the other party deliberately revealed their aura. But the other party was hiding their aura to conceal their identity. If they were willing to reveal their aura, why would they need to waste words with him?
A powerful being at the Divine Lord level, once inside the Immortal Nest, can easily capture numerous immortal spirits within if he so desires!

The only problem is the King's Immortal Spirit.

"I am willing to offer a treasure as an apology. I beg Mr. Lin Qing to show leniency and not destroy my two main battle avatars." Yu Tianshen said sincerely, "My two main battle avatars do not carry many treasures, but the cultivation of many secret techniques is troublesome. If Mr. Lin Qing does not believe me, you are free to examine my storage treasures."

Lin Qing glanced at him and said coldly, "Do you know that my King Realm is currently engaged in a war between the divine kingdoms? I was originally hiding my strength as a trump card, but your revelation of it may affect the course of the war."

"This..." Yu Tianshen was slightly taken aback, and said with a helpless bitter smile, "How can I make amends so that Mr. Lin Qing will be willing to forgive me?"

Lin Qing looked at the God of the Heavens.

It is said that the Heavenly God learned a secret soul technique passed down by a past world god, which included a method of will defense. Therefore, even if he amplified his will with his Mind Walker clone, he could not directly kill the opponent with the Illusionary World Annihilation Technique.

Not to mention, Yu Tianshen is the disciple of the strongest human, and he would never completely kill him because of this grudge.

If that Lord of the Universe were to personally come to the Realm of Kings to demand an explanation, even the King of Light could not protect him.

"I heard that your junior brother, the 'Lord of the Secret Universe,' has been invited by Lord Yu to participate in the Divine Kingdom War of my Kings Realm?"

Lin Qing suddenly spoke.

This was intelligence he obtained in the future. The Lord of the Secret Universe was a god-king who cultivated the rules of the future. He was invited by Lord Yu to counter the intelligence-gathering ability of the King of Light.

The Lord of the Mysterious Universe is also a disciple of the Universe Lord in the Immortal Realm.

"This..." Yu Tianshen hesitated and said, "Although the Lord of the Secret Universe is my junior brother, I don't know him very well. However, his personal relationship with Yu Gong should not be very deep."

"If you can persuade him to give up participating in my Divine Kingdom War of the Kings Realm, I will let your two clones go, how about it?" Lin Qing said.

"Persuade him to give up?" Yu Tianshen paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I will definitely persuade the Lord of the Secret Universe to give up."

He might not have agreed if other deities had made the same request.

But Lin Qing's talent was simply too astonishing. He might become one of the top beings among the rulers of the divine kingdom in the future, and possibly the only one to cultivate the future rules. He really didn't want to offend him.

It should be understood that among the current rulers of the human race's divine kingdoms, there are only a handful of top beings who have mastered two kinds of spacetime rules, but without exception, they all master the present rules and the past rules, and none of them master the present rules and the future rules!
If Lin Qingruo becomes the first one, then the significance will be completely different!
It is of great significance even to the human race!

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured."

Yutian Shen said, "I will also report this matter to my master, and try my best to avoid the ultimate existence of the Immortal Realm from participating in the divine kingdom war of the King Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing glanced at him and said, "If that's really the case, then I have to thank the God of the Heavens."

If Lord Yu cannot obtain the help of the God Kingdom Lord who cultivates the rules of the future, then the Heavenly Light God Kingdom will have an absolute advantage in intelligence!

So what if he's exposed?
As for what lies beneath the ultimate existence?

Once the war between the divine kingdoms breaks out, and the three great divine kingdoms collide, the universe of the Kings will reject all outsiders, and outsiders will not be able to get involved at all.

Therefore, only the ruler of the divine kingdom who cultivates the rules of the future can help.

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Yu Tianshen said helplessly, "Mr. Lin Qing, please don't blame me."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, without saying much, only saying, "I'm about to begin capturing immortal spirits, please proceed, Heavenly God."

The Heavenly God bowed and then stepped back.

The other candidates watched from a distance, not daring to come closer.

With their strength, if Lin Qing wanted to, they wouldn't even be able to touch an immortal spirit.

"Come." Lin Qing looked at the main star that had been sealed by the World God with one hand, and immediately began to manipulate spacetime to seal away the immortal spirits hidden on the main star.

Even the highest-grade immortal spirits were powerless against him. Dozens of high-grade immortal spirits, thousands of mid-grade immortal spirits, and hundreds of thousands of low-grade immortal spirits were instantly sealed and fell into his palm world.

The other 380 secondary stars only have low to mid-grade immortal spirits, and there are probably only one or two thousand mid-grade immortal spirits.

Its value is far less than that of an immortal spirit on a main star, so Lin Qing didn't bother to catch it.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a golden streak of light pierced through the seal Lin Qing had set up in the palm of his hand and fled at an astonishing speed.

Lin Qing's eyes lit up immediately: "A King-grade Immortal Spirit? It can even traverse dual-dimensional worlds?"

The other candidates also witnessed this scene.

It is said that a single King-grade Immortal Spirit is more than a hundred times more precious than all the Immortal Spirits in the entire Immortal Nest combined!
However, the escape ability of a King-rank Immortal Spirit is close to that of a Divine Lord or Duke. Even a Divine Lord-level expert must be skilled in sealing to have any hope of capturing a King-rank Immortal Spirit!

Since even Dukes and God-Kings can only enter the Immortal Nest once, and the Void God Clan has already invited everyone they could, they haven't obtained a King-grade Immortal Spirit for a very, very long time.

The Void God Clan also offered a hefty reward, but there are only so many powerful individuals at the level of Duke or God-King. If they can't do it, they simply can't, and the reward is useless.

The candidates couldn't help but look on with curiosity.

Can this newly crowned god, a peerless genius, do this?

"Suppress the void in all directions!"

Lin Qing watched as the golden light pierced through layers of world seals, and the World God immediately raised his other giant hand, grabbing at the void—

"boom!"

The spacetime spanning trillions of miles suddenly twisted and collapsed violently. A vast spacetime storm spun wildly and converged, transforming into walls of spacetime that descended from all directions, instantly enveloping the golden light in the center, and then forming a prison composed of layers of spacetime!
The terrifying power of spacetime was completely compressed within this prison, and the King-grade Immortal Spirit, which had transformed into a golden stream of light, was instantly sealed into a solidified golden radiance.

"It really worked."

Lin Qing glanced at the immortal spirit within the seal, a slow smile spreading across his lips.

He had participated in the competition for the bloodline of the Void God Clan in the simulated future, so he naturally knew about the existence of the King-grade Immortal Spirit. Therefore, before coming here, he specially created three sealing secret techniques for this King-grade Immortal Spirit.

These three sealing techniques are all supreme techniques containing dual spacetime rules. When used together, they are absolutely comparable to a god-level technique that is purely sealing!

Although it's only comparable to a god-level secret technique based on a single spacetime rule, it's enough.

It should be noted that the requirements for a God-level secret technique are extremely high. If the conditions are not right, even a Duke-level cultivator will find it difficult to succeed.

Therefore, only a portion of those at the Duke level are skilled in sealing techniques.

"enough."

Lin Qing looked at the immortal spirit within the dual spacetime seal with satisfaction, "The seal formed by my three supreme secret techniques is not bad..."

Over the years he has created secret arts using the "Original Law," he has created a total of seven supreme secret arts.

These three supreme sealing techniques, when combined, seal off the present world and sever the future. Their sealing power is so strong that even a duke would have to exert all his strength and spend a long time to break free.

This immortal spirit of the King was naturally unable to break free.

"Caught!"

Seeing this, the other candidates couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Everyone knows that the Void Gods possess the most treasures.

But do they want to obtain treasures from the Void Gods?
Then you must perform meritorious service!
For the Void Gods, a King-rank Immortal Spirit is of great benefit to the Cosmic Tree, and capturing one is considered a great achievement.

Congratulations, Mr. Lin Qing.

Yu Tianshen sighed, "Such a King-grade Immortal Spirit can at least earn tens of thousands of merits from the Void God Clan. In fact, since the Void God Clan hasn't obtained a King-grade Immortal Spirit in a long time, they might give even more, tens of thousands of merits would be quite normal."

"Tens of thousands of merits?" Lin Qing's heart stirred.

He remembered the golden leaves that the Void Gods used to measure merit, but it took 380,000 golden leaves to earn one great merit.

A level seven treasure requires at least 100,000 merit points.

However, tens of thousands of merit points can be exchanged for a rather precious five-feather-level treasure. After all, the highest value of a five-feather-level treasure is close to 100,000 merit points, and the lowest is 10,000 merit points.

"Five-feather level treasures are enough to make many gods of the world envious and lose their minds, and many of them are things that humans simply cannot find." Yu Tian Shen reminded, "Mr. Lin Qing, you should exchange for some treasures that are unique to the Void God Clan."

"Even the ruler of the divine kingdom is envious?" Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He had also seen the treasures in the Future God's Treasury, so he naturally understood how precious those treasures were.

For example, the 'True Self Oath Stone' is so powerful that even the three World Gods, after making a vow with the True Self Oath Stone, dared not break their vow.

This is a five-feather-level treasure, and it belongs to the more precious category, worth a full 60,000 merit points.

The other candidates couldn't help but feel their hearts race.

Even if all the other immortal spirits in the entire Immortal Nest were added together, they wouldn't be worth even one percent of the value of this one King-grade immortal spirit. All of them together probably wouldn't even amount to a hundred merits.

At most, you can exchange it for a slightly better one-feather-level treasure.

"What should I change it to?" Lin Qing pondered to herself.

What he really wanted was the mysterious gray shard that could use the supreme divine miracle of 'transforming the void into reality,' to replenish the source of the anti-entropy beings.

However, the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom did not possess such treasures, and he dared not openly search for them extensively.

This is a rare treasure designated as a Nine-Feather-level artifact by the future God of the Realm, and its value is even close to that of a Pillar-level Universe Treasure!

"We can only search slowly..."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "I should first obtain the bloodline of the third generation of the Void God Clan. I heard that the bloodline of the third generation of the Void God Clan allows one to learn a World God inheritance for free? And I can learn even more by consuming merit points?"
