Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

Where the celestial light passed, two clear marks were ploughed into space, unable to heal for a long time. The left deputy envoy pointed his fingers like a knife, condensing his celestial energy into a hundred-zhang-long blazing white blade of light. At the edge of the blade of light, fine spatial cracks spread like black lightning, radiating a sharp aura that could cut through everything and destroy all laws! It was the standard celestial technique of the Sky Patrol Division—the Void-Piercing Slash!

The deputy envoy on the right unleashed both palms simultaneously, his immortal energy surging and drawing upon the chilling energy of the surrounding heavens, instantly condensing into thousands upon thousands of crystal-clear ice spears! Each spear contained an extreme chill that could freeze the soul and annihilate life force, like a torrential downpour, sealing off all of Lin Xuan's space for escape—this was the Profound Ice Spear Prison!

The two cooperated seamlessly, one close and one far, one sharp and one broad, their attacks like a net that instantly enveloped Lin Xuan. The power of immortal techniques far surpassed that of ordinary supernatural abilities in the lower realms; the pure and boundless immortal energy carried a natural suppressive force, as if it wanted to thoroughly cleanse this entire starry sky.

Faced with this combined attack that was enough to instantly kill several late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Lin Xuan remained standing still, not even the hem of his clothes was moved by the violent energy.

His eyes were as calm as an unchanging, deep pool. Only at the very moment when the blazing white blade light and the sky full of ice spears were about to strike him did he finally move.

There was no earth-shattering burst of magical power, nor any mysterious and complex hand seals or techniques.

He simply raised his right hand and gently pressed it forward against the tearing, blazing white blade light and the descending Xuanbing Spear Prison.

At the same time, four words were uttered, not loud, but seemingly containing some supreme law or will, clearly echoing deep within the souls of everyone present:

"All phenomena are empty."

Words spoken become law!

There was no roar, no collision.

The moment those four words were uttered, the hundred-foot-long blazing white blade of light, powerful enough to cleave stars, was wiped away as if by an invisible hand, disintegrating inch by inch from beginning to end, transforming into the purest immortal energy and vanishing into nothingness.

The thousands upon thousands of ice crystal spears, imbued with extreme cold, melted and evaporated silently, like ice and snow under the sun, even when they were still a hundred feet away from Lin Xuan, without even a trace of coldness leaking out.

The two deputy envoys' determined joint attack was just... gone?

It was as if they had never existed.

"What?!"

The two deputy envoys, who were charging forward, suddenly froze. The sinister smiles on their faces instantly vanished, replaced by utter bewilderment and horror! They could feel that the moment their immortal techniques came into contact with some invisible force field, their internal structure, energy form, and even their connection with the laws of heaven and earth were negated from the most basic level by a force they could not understand!

That wasn't being defeated or defended against, but rather being fundamentally "defined" as "non-existent"!

This method is completely beyond their understanding of "supernatural powers" and "magic"!

Even the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy, who was preparing to watch Lin Xuan get crushed, had his anger instantly replaced by unparalleled shock, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints!

"Words...words become law?! How is that possible! How could you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the lower realm, possibly touch upon such a realm of rules?!" His voice trembled slightly, a tremor he himself didn't even notice. Even in the Immortal Realm, those who could even glimpse the beginnings of "words becoming law" were invariably prodigies with profound backgrounds and extraordinary talents, or powerful Golden Immortals with unfathomable cultivation! How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the lower realm possibly possess such power?!

Lin Xuan slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two horrified deputy envoys before finally settling on the face of the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy, a face filled with disbelief.

"The magic of the Celestial Court is nothing more than this." He spoke calmly, his tone revealing no hint of pride, only the quiet statement of fact.

He took a step forward.

With just one step, the celestial domain of power, which had been jointly set up by the three celestial envoys and was as imposing as a divine mountain, shattered like fragile glass with a soft "crack" sound!

The invisible pressure vanished instantly, and Lin Xuan's aura was no longer suppressed in the slightest. Although his cultivation level at the initial Nascent Soul stage was not considered extremely strong, it now gave people a feeling of vastness and unfathomable depth, like the starry sky.

He stared directly into the cold moon envoy's eyes, which were filled with surprise and uncertainty, and his voice clearly resounded throughout the starry sky:

"You keep talking about the order of Heaven and the rules of the Celestial Court."

"But what does that have to do with me?"

"I, Lin Xuan, act solely according to my conscience and follow my own path!"

His voice gradually rose, each word like a heavy hammer, striking the heart of the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy, and causing the laws of the surrounding void to resonate and tremble!

"My way is transcendence! It is freedom! It is control!"

"Neither heaven and earth can bind it, nor can immortals and gods restrain it!"

"I said, 'Let there be light,' and the starry sky dared not be dark! I said, 'Let there be reincarnation,' and the world needed a netherworld!"

Finally, staring at the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy, whose face was ashen and whose celestial aura fluctuated violently due to extreme anger and a hint of unease, he declared, word by word, with unwavering resolve:

"so--"

"My way is the rule!"

"I am the rule!"

boom!!!

These words seemed to have touched some kind of taboo in the dark!

At this moment, Lin Xuan's Dao heart was crystal clear, and his unbreakable will was like a sharp sword, soaring straight into the sky! The ancient nascent soul in his dantian suddenly opened its eyes, and the scene of the birth and death of the universe in its eyes flowed at an unprecedented speed. A "Dao rhyme" that was above all things and wanted to control the fate of itself and even all living beings spread out with a bang from its center!

This "Taoist aura" is not oppressive, yet it is far more terrifying. It represents an unquestionable "right to define," a nascent form of "my will is the will of Heaven"!

The Cold Moon Immortal Envoy was so struck by this "Daoist aura" that he involuntarily took a half step back! He felt his immortal heart trembling, as if he were facing a rising, future rule-maker! The other party's declaration of "I am the rule" was extremely arrogant, yet it carried a heart-pounding certainty, as if it were bound to come true!

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!!" The Cold Moon Immortal Envoy steadied herself, her anger and humiliation burning fiercely. A palpable killing intent blazed in her eyes. "Defying the heavens, you call yourself a rule? If I don't grind you to dust today, what will become of the dignity of my Immortal Court?!"

"Form the Three Realms Immortal Slaughtering Formation! Refine him to death for me!"

He completely abandoned his plan to capture the boy alive. This boy was too strange, and he had to kill him at all costs!

The three celestial envoys instantly moved, occupying the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man, surrounding Lin Xuan at the center. Vast celestial energy, like three silver rivers, surged forth from their bodies, intertwining in the air and instantly outlining a massive celestial array covering hundreds of miles in radius!

The array patterns were incredibly complex, composed of pure immortal laws, emanating a terrifying aura capable of slaying immortals and gods and obliterating everything! Within the array's core, a giant gray sword condensed from pure killing intent and immortal essence slowly emerged, locking onto Lin Xuan's aura!

This is a combined attack formation used by the Sky Patrol Division to encircle and suppress the great evils of the lower realm. Its power is enough to threaten even Nascent Soul cultivators!

However, standing at the center of the formation, feeling the terrifying killing intent that could crush even the stars into dust, Lin Xuan's face revealed a hint of... interest for the first time.

He looked at the giant sword of the Immortal Execution, which was slowly taking shape and exuding overwhelming killing intent, and then looked at the three people who had formed an array. He nodded slightly.

"The formation is passable."

"Perfect, I'll use it to test my newly realized method, to test... the rules I've established!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the starry sky in his eyes vanished, and an unparalleled will that governs the rules and defines existence soared into the sky!

My teachings are the standard; how could they be mere empty words?
