Chapter 115: Death Law
The moment Lu Xueqi’s figure showed signs of movement, piercing, mournful roars suddenly echoed from beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss.
Wave after wave of terrifying sound waves surged upward from below the Dead Spirit Abyss, spreading rapidly toward the surrounding crowd.
Those standing above the abyss, upon hearing the shrill wails, immediately felt their heads grow dizzy, sharp pains stabbing continuously through their minds.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi felt a faint trace of surprise.
When those sound waves struck her, they merely caused a brief sense of disorientation, failing to inflict any actual harm.
After all, with her current strength and formidable spiritual power, ordinary soundwave attacks were already incapable of affecting her in the slightest, not to mention that she had comprehended the Dao of Creation.
The Dao of Creation contained boundless profundities—what effect could mere soundwave attacks possibly have on her?
Qi Hao and the others, however, were entirely different. At this moment, they all clutched their ears in pain, desperately trying to block out the piercing shrieks.
Yet those sharp wails were not transmitted solely through hearing. Even with their ears covered, the shrill sounds did not disappear.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi no longer hesitated. With a leap, her figure shot downward, flying straight into the depths of the Dead Spirit Abyss.
Only after Lu Xueqi descended did those on the shore begin to recover slightly, the piercing shrieks weakening somewhat.
Watching Lu Xueqi vanish from sight, the group exchanged glances. After a brief moment of hesitation, they too leapt up and flew down into the abyss.
Though they were deeply wary of the Dead Spirit Abyss, they still wanted to see for themselves what exactly was happening below.
This was especially true for the three transmigrators—Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu, and Qin Wuyan.
After entering the depths of the Dead Spirit Abyss, Lu Xueqi was immediately enveloped by dense black fog, which also severed the range of her spiritual perception.
Even when she exerted her spiritual power to its fullest, her detection range was less than a hundred meters—and that was under the condition of her exceptionally terrifying spiritual strength.
If it were Qi Hao and the others, their spiritual perception likely would not even reach ten meters.
As this thought crossed her mind, Lu Xueqi’s spiritual sense suddenly detected something unusual. Her figure flickered as she flew swiftly toward the distance.
At the same time Lu Xueqi sped in that direction, within a secluded cultivation site behind Tianyin Temple, a figure continuously listened to the system notifications echoing in his mind.
“Qi Hao witnessed the anomaly at the Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock Points +33.”
“Lin Jingyu witnessed the anomaly at the Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock Points +26.”
“Zhang Xiaofan witnessed the anomaly at the Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock Points +1.”
“Fa Xiang witnessed the anomaly at the Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock Points +24.”
These system notifications continued endlessly, causing the figure’s face to flush as excitement gleamed in his eyes. He could not help but think excitedly: That’s it—faster, faster, give me all your shock!
However, after observing for a while, he noticed that something seemed missing from these notifications.
Soon after, the figure carefully checked through them.
Sure enough, among the countless shock notifications, he found an anomaly:
“Lu Xueqi felt surprised at the Dead Spirit Abyss. Shock Points +1.”
Seeing this notification on the system panel, the more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became.
Lu Xueqi was the female protagonist of this world, blessed with immense fortune. How could she only generate a single point of shock upon witnessing such an anomaly at the Dead Spirit Abyss?
This left him rather astonished, and he could not help but think to himself: What’s going on with Lu Xueqi? She’s barely surprised by what’s happening below the Dead Spirit Abyss. Could it be that I haven’t done enough? That my arrangements aren’t shocking enough?
The thought caused him to doubt himself.
However, after seeing the shock points provided by Zhang Xiaofan and the others, he relaxed slightly and thought: It shouldn’t be my problem. It must be Lu Xueqi who’s the issue.
Recalling the original description of Lu Xueqi as having a “cold and detached temperament,” he silently nodded: Yes, it must be Lu Xueqi’s problem, not mine.
With that, he finally set his mind at ease.
He knew that someone with Lu Xueqi’s aloof nature was usually indifferent to all things, making it difficult to provoke shock within her. But once something truly moved her, the shock she produced would be immense.
Meanwhile, Lu Xueqi appeared at the location she had sensed almost instantaneously.
However, upon arriving, her gaze tightened slightly.
Ahead of her suddenly stood a completely transparent figure. The figure was extraordinarily tall—after a brief appraisal, she discovered it stood several zhang high, with scarlet light flickering within its eyes…
Seeing this, how could Lu Xueqi fail to realize that this was a ghostly entity?
As Lu Xueqi examined the ghost, it too noticed her presence. Upon seeing a living being appear within the Dead Spirit Abyss, it immediately released an excited, piercing shriek.
In an instant, it lunged straight toward Lu Xueqi.
Lu Xueqi felt a trace of surprise. She had not expected such a powerful anomalous entity to exist beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss.
With just a brief perception, she determined that this entity’s strength was comparable to an expert of the Qingyun Sect at the fifth or sixth level of the Jade Purity Realm, which did catch her slightly off guard.
Nevertheless, she had no intention of letting the ghost escape.
She merely flicked her finger. Instantly, a bolt of golden lightning exploded with a thunderous roar, striking the ghost’s body with a loud bang amid its terrified gaze.
In the blink of an eye, the anomalous entity was completely obliterated by Lu Xueqi’s golden lightning.
As Lu Xueqi looked at the destroyed entity, there was no visible change in her expression. However, the transformation in the entity’s gaze at the moment she unleashed the golden lightning did leave an impression on her.
She had clearly seen that the entity possessed true spiritual intelligence—when her golden lightning first appeared, its eyes had filled with fear, terror, and despair.
After the entity was slain, a wisp of pitch-black mist remained at the spot.
With a wave of her right hand, Lu Xueqi drew the black mist into her palm and examined it carefully.
The moment the black mist entered her hand, she sensed a rather concentrated power of death.
Staring at the deathly energy, Lu Xueqi’s Heaven-Defying Comprehension talent activated naturally.
From this single strand of deathly aura, she unexpectedly comprehended a fragment of the Death Law.
Joy surged within Lu Xueqi’s heart.
Soon after, she merged the Death Law she had just comprehended into the Dao of Creation she had previously grasped.
As the Death Law fused into it, the Dao of Creation became even more complete.
The Dao of Creation encompassed all things, containing birth and destruction, creation and annihilation—death itself was naturally included within it.
With Lu Xueqi’s integration of the Death Law, her Dao of Creation grew ever more perfect.
