The Stranger and the Creator
Chapter 967: The Stranger and the Creator
"Hey, an Immemorial Mystical Armament isn't meant to be used like that."
This voice suddenly rang out, speaking in the common language of the Law Realm, but the shock it brought to Xia Fei was like a bolt of lightning falling from the sky!
* Shing ~ *
Xia Fei's hair stood on end, and the nerves in his brain immediately tensed up!
This was because the person who spoke not only had a deep understanding of the Immemorial Mystical Armament but also gave Xia Fei an immense pressure!
It was as if a ten-thousand-ton boulder was pressing down on Xia Fei's shoulders, rendering him immobile. However, this oppressive aura merely restrained Xia Fei, and there was no killing intent, which Xia Fei found strange. In Xia Fei's philosophy, he would either not make a move, or he would definitely kill once he did! There was no room for mercy, and the person in front of him was clearly not one of those people.
The black figure came out from a distant room. As he walked, he observed the carvings on the building, gently caressing them with his hand.
* Bang ~ *
Xia Fei was somewhat anxious. Being controlled by someone was never his habit, so he decided to use the power of the Law of Primal Chaos to counterattack!
"It's useless. My strength is far greater than yours. With your current understanding of the Primal Chaos Codex, there's no way you can break out of my cage," the black figure slowly said. "Besides, I'm not controlling you to hurt you but because your personality is too sharp, and it's very easy for you to go berserk and hurt others. I'm not willing to fight with you."
Xia Fei pursed his lips. This person was speaking the truth. Given Xia Fei's personality, if he had not been instantly controlled, he would have already charged forward to fight this stranger.
Xia Fei's mind was filled with thoughts of how to break free, so he did not notice that Radix's face was filled with shock. As that stranger appeared in front of Xia Fei, Radix's shock was at its peak!
The stranger made a small gesture like he was stroking a stream, and Radix seemed to understand the meaning of this gesture. He abruptly closed his mouth, swallowing the words he was about to blurt out, but his eyes never left the stranger for even a moment, his gaze bursting with light.
After circling around Xia Fei, the stranger appeared very satisfied, constantly nodding his head as he looked at Xia Fei with eyes full of surprise.
Xia Fei carefully observed this person, and what was surprising was that he was actually a human! At least in terms of appearance, he did not look too different from Xia Fei. It was just that his hair was a strange green, long and flowing, giving him an indescribable sense of carefreeness.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his palms were white and tender. He seemed to have taken good care of himself, which was very inconsistent with his identity as a warrior.
What surprised Xia Fei the most was that this person was not wearing any armor. Instead, he was wearing some strange white linen. Perhaps he thought that no one could hurt him, so there was no need for armor at all. Most warriors would not dare to do so.
"Look, I've already proven that I have no ill intentions towards you. In fact, I'm a little impressed that you were able to slaughter your way to this day in this chaotic universe. As long as you promise not to act recklessly, I'll let you go," the stranger said softly in a gentle tone.
The corner of Xia Fei's lips curled into a strange smile as he said, "Do you believe my guarantee?"
The stranger did not expect Xia Fei to retort in such a manner. He was stunned at first before he helplessly shrugged and released his control over Xia Fei.
* Whoosh! *
The moment his body relaxed, Xia Fei immediately dashed out! The Devil Blade, Nirvana, flew toward the stranger's face!
In the blink of an eye, the stranger suddenly changed his position. Like a projection, there were no ripples as he teleported through the air, displaying his inconceivable strength!
Without landing a heavy blow, Xia Fei put away the Devil Blade and stopped about fifty meters away from the stranger. He sternly said, "We're even now."
* Shing ~ *
Radix's expression changed when Xia Fei stopped attacking the stranger. What a vengeful Xia Fei. It was clear that this person was many times stronger than him, but he still wanted to return the blow! This attitude left Radix speechless.
Of course, the powerful stranger was also speechless, helplessly shaking his head.
"Just who are you? Why are you hiding in the shadows? "Xia Fei sternly asked.
The stranger shook his head and helplessly said, "Can't you be a little more reasonable? I'm clearly here, but you're barging in from the outside. "
Xia Fei did not answer. It did not matter to Xia Fei who had barged into whose territory. More importantly, no matter how friendly this stranger appeared, he was still a threat to him, so he had to be on guard.
"Truly a rude and unreasonable fellow." The stranger sighed, and then he raised an arm and pointed at the vast ruins. "This was once the Creation Temple where the Law Realm's Founders lived, meaning that they could create Gods here. Alas, due to internal strife, the Creation Temple was destroyed, leaving only these ruins."
Xia Fei smiled. "Create Gods? Those fellows sure have some big words. "
The stranger said, "They're monkeys who haven't seen the world, always thinking that they're the kings of the jungle. Only when the wolf comes did they realize that they actually don't have sharp claws and teeth. This sort of thing is very common. It's just a bunch of intelligent lifeforms who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, amusing themselves."
Xia Fei raised an eyebrow, a cold light flashing through his eyes. What confused him was not the story of the Founders' internal strife, but the stranger's attitude. He was actually comparing the high and mighty thirteen Creators to monkeys?! Did he have a power even greater than the Creators?!
Making a gesture for Xia Fei to follow him, the stranger led him up the broken staircase and into a large room. He saw that the surrounding walls were filled with statues, each one a thousand meters tall.
"Look, these are the thirteen powerhouses who founded the Law Realm back then. Those slightly shorter statues in front of them are the twenty-seven people who later relied on their own efforts to rise to the ranks of the Creators. Altogether, there are forty of them, the strongest powerhouses in the history of the Law Realm!" the stranger said as he pointed at the statues.
Xia Fei discovered that the statues of the thirteen Creators were all intact, but those experts who later became Creators had all been decapitated, leaving only their bodies behind.
"Forty Creators?!" Xia Fei was shocked. "Does that mean that the Law Realm originally had forty Creators?! Then why have I never heard of them? Isn't it said that there were only thirteen Creators? "
The stranger smiled. "You haven't heard of them because those twenty-seven experts who later joined the ranks of Creators are all dead, without exception."
Xia Fei was shocked once more, and he sternly said, "Law Gods are already immortal, so these Creators must be even stronger. How could they die? And who has such a powerful ability to kill such a powerful expert!? "
The stranger sneered and disdainfully said, "What immortal? Law Gods can only borrow a life seed to be reborn. Even if they're reborn, they'll need to spend many, many years to recover their cultivation. What's the difference between that and death? Besides, there are many ways to kill Law Gods. Don't you have one of them? "
Xia Fei silently lowered his head. The Law of Primal Chaos and Devil Blade Nirvana could both make Law Gods disappear. Logically speaking, these were the two ways to kill an Law God.
However, the root of Devil Blade Nirvana's current existence was the Law of Primal Chaos. If not for the Celestial Zerohammer's Primal Chaos Law reversing the Devil Blade's attributes, there would have been no Devil Blade today!
That stranger said that Xia Fei had only one way to kill an Law God, and his conclusion was very reliable, hitting the nail on the head! Yes, without the miraculous Law of Primal Chaos, there would be no Devil Blade, and there would be no Xia Fei today!
What Xia Fei did not understand was that this stranger seemed to understand him very well! This was rather unimaginable, and Xia Fei quietly raised his guard once more.
The stranger sighed and softly said, "You're truly the most paranoid person I've ever met. Relax. I said that I won't hurt you, and I definitely won't.
"Back then, the ones who killed the twenty-seven Creators were their masters, the thirteen original Creators who brought them into the Genesis Temple. Thus, the current Law Realm only knows of the Thirteen Creators, but they don't know that these experts once raised an entire group of extremely powerful disciples."
"Why?" Xia Fei asked in confusion. "Since they're master and disciple, the master must have spent a great deal of effort and energy to raise their disciples to a level similar to himself. Why would they personally kill their disciples in the end?"
The stranger smiled. "Never underestimate the evil nature of intelligent life. This world has always been a dog-eat-dog world. Let alone master and disciple, even parents and children will be killed when the time comes, as long as the price is high enough."
The stranger was speaking of the price that Xia Fei had always pursued. Everything, even everyone, had their own price.
For example, if a rich man took a fancy to a beautiful woman, but the beautiful woman did not like the rich man at all. At this time, the rich man could rely on his own strength to carry out a naked transaction. If the beautiful woman refused to yield for one million, what about ten million? One hundred million? Ten billion?
Equivalent exchange was one of the inherent laws of the universe!
There was nothing that could not be traded. The only reason it did not succeed was because the price was not high enough.
"So you're saying that the thirteen Creators killed all twenty-seven of their disciples because someone offered a sufficiently high price?" Xia Fei asked.
The stranger coldly laughed. "An absolutely high price! Only thirteen out of forty could survive, so twenty-seven were sacrificed. "
Xia Fei finally understood that the thirteen Creators had been so ruthless in killing their disciples because they had been faced with a choice between life and death. No one liked death, so the disciples with lower cultivation had become sacrifices.
However, Xia Fei could not understand just who could have given these Creators so much pressure that they would kill each other. After all, these Creators were already in the Law Realm, existences of the highest plane in the universe!
Xia Fei also had a feeling that this stranger was deliberately leading him to the Creation Ancient Temple, and then told him about the situation of the Creator, but who was he? And why was he doing this?
Could it be that he knew that the Heavenly Wing Clan had already targeted the insufferably powerful creator!?
