He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Xu Yi finally made his move, conjuring a black chain in his hand and sending it flying towards the large black hand.

The moment the black chain hooked onto the large hand, it firmly locked it in place.

With a forceful pull, Xu Yi dragged the large black hand out of the void.

"what!"

A scream was heard, and a one-armed man was pulled out of the void along with a giant hand.

However, under the influence of Xu Yi's chains, the one-armed man lost his arm again, and finally, he became an armless man.

"Hahaha, Shi Chongming, you've finally met your match! What goes around comes around!" Shi Tianming, who only had one arm, laughed wildly on the ground. Just now, Shi Chongming had caused him to lose an arm, but now the tables had turned, and Shi Chongming's situation was even more dire than his.

Shi Chongming's face was pale. His spell was broken while he was casting it, and he would have to pay a greater price. Every time he cast a spell, he needed to draw upon all the magic power in his body. After this sudden output of magic power was interrupted,

This caused his internal energy to leak out wildly, and his magical power to drain away rapidly. Shi Chongming panicked, and his cultivation level also dropped. The water-attribute spiritual substance in his body had slowly drained away, turning into a puddle of clear water. Shi Chongming clearly felt that his strength had decreased significantly.

He was on the ground, unable to speak any more.

Xu Yi landed gently on the ground and calmly looked at Shi Chongming: "Master Shi Chongming, you have lost."

"Uh...hehehe, yes, I lost, so what? You'll still be eaten by the Stone Tablet in the end." A trace of blood remained at the corner of Shi Chongming's mouth. He couldn't move because he had no hands to support him. He could only lie on the ground, unable to move, like a pupa.

"I will go to the prophecy stone tablet, but since it doesn't dare to come to me, it must be because its strength is not up to par," Xu Yi analyzed.

"Hehehe, Xu Yi, you underestimated your opponent. The prophecy stele is not as simple as you think. You can't possibly imagine how powerful it is."

"If you go to the Five Poisons Sect, you'll know what the consequences will be for you." Shi Chongming gradually lost his breath on the ground; these were the last words he uttered in his final moments.

Finally, Shi Chongming's aura disappeared, but Xu Yi saw a transparent soul being pulled out from Shi Chongming's mangled body, and it was a perfectly intact soul.

"What's going on?" Xu Yi's expression instantly turned serious. A transparent chain began to form in his hand, but this time there were two.

Just as Shi Chongming's soul was about to fly away, Xu Yi made his move, and the two chains in his hands flew firmly toward Shi Chongming's transparent soul.

As Xu Yi had hoped, his soul was indeed locked away.

However, this time Xu Yi couldn't budge the chains no matter what he tried. He began to cast spells to try and increase the strength of the chains, but no matter what he did, Shi Chongming's soul remained unmoved. Xu Yi was at his wit's end.

"A clever tactic. Could it be a contract?"

If this were the power of one person, Xu Yi would be truly terrified. However, he didn't believe it; Xu Yi didn't believe that this was something that could be accomplished by the power of one person.

Someone with such power should have already taken action against him, but this person didn't, which means he was just bluffing.

Xu Yi didn't believe that after he had killed the other party's biggest henchman, the other party could remain indifferent and sit still. If that was the case, then this prophecy stele was far too patient.

"This is the power of the prophecy stele..." Shi Tianming said fearfully from the side. He had been controlled by this power before, so he naturally understood best who this power came from.

"It really is a prophecy stele... However, this doesn't seem to be entirely his doing, does it?" Xu Yi said softly.

"I don't know. The prophecy stone is very mysterious. Even I can only see it on specific days, or when it summons me."

According to Shi Tianming's description, the prophetic stele became increasingly mysterious in Xu Yi's eyes.

"Oh? Is that so?" Xu Yi asked in surprise. He hadn't expected that the leader of the Five Poisons Sect could use the power of the prophecy stele to do things at any time, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

"Yes, but I've never seen the prophecy stone tablet move. It can't be moved? But its methods are even more terrifying than those of people who can move it." Shi Tianming was still shaken. Should he go to the Five Poisons Sect?

It seems that Xu Yi is going to take him there, but what can be done now? Even his senior brother, who had refined a water-based spiritual object, died at his hands. And judging from Xu Yi's appearance, he didn't seem to have suffered any major depletion.

Just as Xu Yi felt that Shi Chongming's soul was about to be summoned away, a sudden change occurred.

A powerful suction force emerged within Xu Yi's body, firmly holding onto Shi Chongming's soul. A battle began between the mysterious suction force in the sky and the strange suction force within Xu Yi's body.

In just a few breaths, the suction force within Xu Yi's body surpassed the inexplicable suction force in the sky.

The transparent soul was instantly pulled back and brought before Xu Yi. Was this the power of the 'system'? It seemed so. Whenever there was something inexplicable about him, Xu Yi would attribute it to the system. This system was very mysterious and had always played an unfathomable role.

Xu Yi couldn't understand it at all; he couldn't understand a single thing about his intentions.

However, this time it was indeed the system that helped resolve this problem.

[Killed a human cultivator. Remaining lifespan: 50, all stored.]

When Xu Yi saw this passage, he was a little surprised. How could this be? Shi Chongming didn't look that old. He was at most around forty years old. He had reached the peak of Qi Refining and had also refined a water-based spiritual object. This meant that he had already surpassed the Qi Refining stage and was about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. He could be considered a person who had achieved this.

Logically speaking, he should have nearly two hundred years of lifespan to live, right? How come he only has so little left now?

Only fifty years left?

It seems that this so-called prophecy stele has side effects; it is slowly absorbing Shi Chongming's lifespan, and the prophecy stele has its own plans.

There's a hint of conspiracy in this.

This time, the prophecy stele suffered a defeat and will probably be a little wary of it.

Going to find the prophetic stone tablet now can yield some results.

"Master Shi Tianming, let's go. Now you are the only one who can face the prophecy stele. I believe that with you by my side, the Five Poisons Sect will not make things difficult for me," Xu Yi said with a smile.

The only use for keeping Shi Tianming alive now is for this one thing.

Shi Tianming stood up awkwardly and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Brother Xu, let's go. It's just that I'm feeling a bit unwell right now." Shi Tianming had slowly recovered, regaining some of his magical power, but it still didn't make his severed hand feel any better...
