Soul Trigger

Chapter 589 Laws and Orders
Both King Guling and Yuya Xun were stunned for a moment.

What they realized first was not that Ji Li had completely torn apart the soul and body of a Mingzhao with his Echoing-level Immortal spiritual quality, but that the untouchable power of the cluster of spiritual cores had also been directly shattered by him—

What kind of monster is this?
But what we saw most was Ludwig, completely exposed to the air, utterly alone, and Sir Willard, terrified:
The protection of the cluster of spirits has been removed.

The two appeared instantly, their voices, one black and one green, reverberating through the air:

"Death."

"Hell is not yet full."

Two terrifying forces swept past Ji Li from the left and right.

On the left was a jet-black sword wave that seemed to tear the world apart; on the right, the cracked earth stretched forward, from which countless venomous snakes resembling human hands and faceless dog heads continuously emerged, rolling away.

Willard felt the heat of his companion's blood on his face for a moment before witnessing this horrific scene unfold before him.

In his utter terror, Ludwig's roar beside him nearly shattered his eardrums—

"Politt!!!"

A two-legged red dragon tore through the sky and descended, its enormous wings instantly enveloping and protecting the two of them.

Amid Ludwig's trembling roar, a knight leaped from the dragon's back and fearlessly charged into the Lonely Tomb King's attack.

The latter recognized him instantly:

The one who received the "White Ring" title was Dragon Fang Knight Polit, a Dark Illumination-level "Knight," but he possessed the title of White Ring.

Although it's unknown how this person "smuggled" himself in, someone stood in front of his sword:
"remarkably brave."

The dragon knight's lance, crackling with yellow lightning, shattered instantly, and his entire shoulder and arm, along with one of the dragon's wings, vanished in a flash.

The dragon protecting the two also collided with the terrifying spell of Yuya Xun, and was instantly corrupted into a one-winged ancient dragon, which was annihilated in an instant amidst screams.

Just then, a strange roar came from the sky, and a monstrous creature resembling both a dragon and a qilin came hurtling towards them, carrying a bronze sword in its mouth.

That was the lair master of the Reflection Academy of Dragon's Gate University. Its body was densely covered with the spiritual essence of the Dragon Fang Knights. It was clear that it had not appeared because of the Dragon Fang Knights' restraint.

All of this happened the instant Ji Li tore apart the power of the white ring.

The Dragon Nest Master, Yuya Xun, Guling King, and Ji Li, who was slowly withdrawing his attack, all unleashed their raging spiritual pressure upon Ludwig and Willard.

This caused the latter to instantly kneel on the ground, but even the Dragon Fang Knight, who was as fragile as paper in front of two supreme experts, was not without effect—

This at least stopped Yu Ya Xun and Gu Ling Wang for a moment, and Ludwig, even though Ji Li's rampage had almost overturned his entire plan, was able to use this moment to demonstrate his methods as the Grand Duke of White Island:

Just as the dragon vanished, his outstretched hand grasped an unknown creation stained with blood.

That was the personality remnant extracted from Salvador, which Ji Li had torn to shreds. He crushed it in one swift motion and chanted at the speed of light:
"(Old English) Death cannot break a knight's oath; for your lord and your land, offer your loyalty!!!"

The burning blood instantly transformed into a cavalryman riding on the skeleton, before exploding and spreading outwards into the surrounding space.

At the same time, Willard, who was filled with fear, froze for a moment, looking at Ludwig with disbelief. He only managed to utter a single "no" before his entire body exploded, turning into fuel for the raging fire.

Immediately afterwards, the ground cracked and dimensions shifted.

The Reflection Academy shook violently, a pillar of blood from the inner world shooting skyward. Simultaneously, a furious roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, shaking a large wave of shadows that had somehow entered the arena from the ground—the Imperial Guards who had finally arrived.

"A disturbance in the great tomb?!"

Ludwig finally showed a relieved expression. Facing the two spiritual entities, one black and one green, rushing towards him, he was not nervous at all. The cane he raised exploded with the two spiritual entities in a dazzling white light.

The moment the world's energy erupted there, Ludwig's aura completely changed—

A majestic, ancient, and intense aura and spiritual pressure enveloped the inner world.

Sensing the immense pressure emanating from the spiritual energy, Yuya Xun bared his sharp fangs:

"You filthy thing...you placed your 'territory' in the Otherworld?"

"The 'Lord' of White Island never fights a battle unprepared. I admit, I was outmaneuvered today, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt his soul trigger snap wildly, and a swarm of iridescent demons swept in with overwhelming fury:
"Heir of Yuanling?!"

boom! ! !
A burst of white light erupted, and Ludwig's cane shattered instantly.

The exploding shards completely shattered his visor, revealing his swollen and hideous face beneath, from which blood gushed forth.

Because of the cross-dimensional relationship, is the effectiveness of territorial laws insufficient to stop him?
But even though both are perfectly illuminated, clearly even the Lord of Calamity and the King of the Lonely Tomb...

The oppressive aura emanating from the Dragon Nest Lord was approaching from above. He had no time to think and instantly gritted his teeth:
"(Old English) National Law: Save your people!"

Along with the aura of that world, a violent white light shot into the sky, nearly engulfing the entire world.

Amidst the surging Imperial Guards, several figures of the Prince of Ling charged forward at high speed.

Among them was the Yuanling King, who had fully entered his dragon armor form.

At that moment, his hand fell limply to his side, and he immediately saw Ji Ruoxi kneeling on the ground, being supported by Yan Xiyu.

Before they could even step forward to ask a question, their attention was drawn to the white light.

His pupils contracted beneath the dragon armor:
In the blinding white light, the Lonely King plunged his sword into the ground with one hand, his entire body surging with destructive aura, single-handedly suppressing the cover of the underworld caused by Ludwig.

Yuya Xun's body transformed into a scene of hell, with a multi-headed dog frantically tearing at the center of the white light.

Meanwhile, Ji Li, in his avatar as the Death Star, had his head's nerve energy burning with a crimson-gold hue, and his iridescent claws ruthlessly pierced into the white light:
"Can you get away?"

"Ji Li! Stop! Come back!!!"

With a piercing tearing sound, Gu Lingwang suddenly turned his head, revealing for the first time his eye, which was as scarlet as Yan Xiyu's.

Yuya Xun's expression froze for a moment, then he grinned arrogantly.

Then, with a tearing sound, the white light suddenly exploded, spewing out scarlet blood.

……

In the crimson underworld, Ludwig knelt on the blood-red carpet, coughing violently.

“Yuanling heir…I will remember you.”

Fortunately, Salvador established a link with the Underworld at the White Island consulate and even prepared the Crimson Ritual; otherwise, he would have surely perished here today. The break with Tengjun and his ambush were somewhat expected, but even after outmaneuvering him, they still failed to obtain the Ascension Wheel and lost Salvador and Willard, two valuable diplomats…

He felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it.

However, he survived and discovered a rare and unique existence. At least he now knows that Shulong has such a thing, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

That young man must possess some unimaginable, rare, and hidden secret...

Threads formed from bones and flesh intertwined around him, forming a fiery red, two-legged dragon.

However, compared to his previous muscular and fierce appearance, he looked much more withered and listless.

As it crouched down, the dragon-tooth knight on its back extended his single arm toward Ludwig:

"The Grand Duke..."

Ludwig coughed a few times and reached out his hand to the knight's palm.

Instantly, his soul trigger vibrated wildly, and the ugly eyes and brows revealed by the shattered mask twitched:
"retreat!"

A mechanical claw pierced through space, tearing the Dragon Fang Knight's remaining arm apart, leaving a giant, iridescent claw mark.

The dragon roared and soared into the air, forcing Ludwig to retreat repeatedly.

The body of the Death Star burst through the air, its two sharp claws tearing through space as they emerged.

Ji Li's body, like a madman, squeezed open the gap in space, twisting and twisting as it entered the inner world. Looking at Ludwig, his chaotic voice reverberated through the air:
"where do you want to go?"
-
Willpower: 365 + 941.1
Extrasensory perception: 129.8
Creativity: 100
Affinity: -528
His body surface continued to pulsate and twist, as if his personality was evolving as he fell into the abyss of affinity and his will grew endlessly.

Ludwig felt a chill run down his spine, and his hands trembled.

“You actually…?!”

The moment the other party appeared, he sensed that the spiritual environment of this world had completely changed.

It became chaotic and frenzied, as if this person's spiritual aura was influencing and changing everything around them.

The Dragon Fang Knights roared and circled, charging towards Ludwig:
"Your Excellency, let's go!"

"Where are you going?!"

Ludwig suppressed the fear in his eyes, a hint of joy appearing on his face, and suddenly stomped his foot on the ground:
"This is my territory!"

Wasn't the purpose of setting up the underworld as 'territory' all for this moment?

I want to... bring this "treasure" back to White Island.

Instantly, white light spread out from the ground centered on him in all directions, and the white domain completely enveloped the surroundings:
"(Old English) National decree: This place is off-limits."

In an instant, Ji Li's steps froze in the white light—

Layers of twisted runes formed an array that enveloped him from all sides, while an invisible force resisted his approach.

What strange thing?
As willpower continued to surge wildly, the restraints shattered and exploded instantly.

The fleshy blanket exploded, sending blood gushing into the sky, and Ji Li's body shot towards Ludwig like a cannonball.

The latter's pupils contracted, and in the instant he instinctively stepped back, he raised his palm:

"(Old English) National Law: Dragon Armor Power is forbidden here!"

The rainbow light emanating from Ji Li suddenly dissipated, and he slammed into the edge of the white light, his spiritual energy exploding.
"what?"

Ludwig's single eye flashed, and he clenched his fist:
"(Old English) Personality overwriting is forbidden here!"

Ji Li unleashed his spiritual energy, and iridescent colors scattered in all directions—

He sensed at that moment that the flow of spiritual energy within his body was frozen and impossible to control:
Is it part of the White Island system?!
The next moment, his entire body exploded with iridescent spiritual energy, revealing his human form as he knelt on the ground:

"you……"

His persona, "Death Star," is a product of both demonization and the dragon armor system.

Just like the "word of power" that Ludwig uttered at this moment, it was truly frozen and could not be used!

However, the four-dimensional attributes he perceived were still fluctuating wildly:
Willpower: 365 + 1182.1
Extrasensory perception: 129.8
Creativity: 100
Affinity: -769
"(Old English) Spiritual implements are forbidden here!"
-
Willpower: 365 + 1412.1
Extrasensory perception: 129.8
Creativity: 100
Affinity: -998
"(Old English) Spirit circuits are forbidden here!"
-
Willpower: 365 + 1894.1
Extrasensory perception: 129.8
Creativity: 100
Affinity: -1480
"(Old English) No moving is permitted here!"
-
Willpower: 365 + 2759.1
Extrasensory perception: 129.8
Creativity: 100
Affinity: -2380
Seeing Ji Li completely kneel on the ground, unable to move, Ludwig finally breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders slumped, and then he raised his hand again:

"It's forbidden here..."

"I'll ban your mother!!!"

The violent blood was thrown up from the ground by Ji Li, turning into a scarlet shockwave that bombarded Ludwig.

As the latter's soul trigger trembled violently, it raised its hand and continued to exert the power of the law to try to block it.

But the white crack suddenly burst open, and the wall formed by the law was shattered by that terrible force.

With a tremendous shock, the Dragon Fang Knight descended from the sky and scooped him up:

"Your Highness, something's wrong, he..."

The next moment, a streak of crimson light pierced the sky, instantly piercing through the two-legged dragon:
"Autophagy!!!"

In an instant, Ludwig's eyes trembled, and he felt his whole body stiffen instantly. From the burst of spiritual energy below, boundless fear swept over him:

what is this? !!

He felt his very soul tremble, even his muscles shook, like a wild animal that had spotted its predator, paralyzed by the terrifying aura—

But this is his "territory," how could there possibly be someone who could defeat a lord within his territory?!

Even if the King of Guling and the Lord of Huojin entered his territory, it would be impossible!!!

The next moment, he heard a loud bang—

A thick arm tore Ji Li's skull apart and slammed it hard onto the ground.
Bionic, precise, heavy, and deforming with a clicking sound:
Willpower: 365+?

Extrasensory perception: 129.8
Creativity: 100
Affinity: -? ? ?
-
As the entire human skin was torn apart, blood flowed down the intricate exoskeleton armor, freezing the two in horror—

Odin's figure stood on the blood-red earth.
