Yu Zhibo had never seen Wang Shouyi display such terrifying power before. At this moment, he gained a deeper understanding of the horrors possessed by an transcender who had reached the 99th tier.
Around Wang Shouyi, countless human laws were swirling. Besides spatial laws, there were also laws from various other sequences such as the Five Elements, Devour, and Elemental, all circling him as if ready to be utilized at any moment. He simply stood there, yet it felt as if he had merged with the entire world, capable of unleashing world-shattering might with every movement.
Above the clouds, the Lord of the Ghost Kingdom was also enveloped by hellish laws filled with destruction and darkness. These laws constantly clashed and annihilated each other with the human laws, yet they also continuously gave birth to new ones, forming a cycle.
Yu Zhibo couldn't help but swallow. He finally understood why there was a no-combat order for the 99th tier. With the current strength of Old Wang and the Lord of the Ghost Kingdom, if they were to fight at full power, even though Earth's space had become more stable due to its fusion with the Eternal Night World, it likely wouldn't be able to withstand a battle between such powerful beings.
If this was the case after reaching the half-S rank, how terrifying would it be to integrate laws into one's flesh and soul and ascend to the S rank?
Yu Zhibo couldn't help but recall the phantom figure in a daoist robe at the end of the divine stage when he first stepped onto it, feeling his own insignificance more profoundly.
"Get down here!"
Wang Shouyi stared coldly at the Lord of the Ghost Kingdom in the clouds, his tone like that of someone reprimanding a subordinate.
"Wang Shouyi, how dare you insult me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll cause the destruction of the human world by fighting you?" The Lord of the Ghost Kingdom, as the supreme being of all ghosts, clearly had his own pride and angrily retorted.
"Of the three thousand minor worlds, only Earth remains, and it has broken free from the control of the Upper Realm. The Upper Realm can no longer accommodate the Path of Hell. If Earth is destroyed, our Dragon Country can ascend to the Upper Realm as a nation. But what about you?"
Wang Shouyi sneered, "In the end, you are like the consciousness of that lowly demon lord's avatar from the Demon Race. You are merely clinging to existence on Earth. If not for the fact that Dao Sage, in his compassion, couldn't bear to see his homeland fall apart, he would have long ago sacrificed himself to erase all of you by risking the world's collapse. Now, I ask you again, are you coming down or not?! If not, we fight!"
As the last four words fell, Wang Shouyi's dual pupils flashed with golden light once more. The next moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a colossal hand formed by laws appeared, blotting out the sun. Numerous phenomena evolved upon it, causing the dimensional space barrier to collapse. Great powers descended and converged onto the palm, pressing down fiercely towards the Lord of the Ghost Kingdom.
The Lord of the Ghost Kingdom's expression turned grim. Terrifying ghost laws surged from his body, forming a massive black palm that met Wang Shouyi's transformed hand in a gesture of propping up the sky. Instantly, the heavens and earth changed color, the ground shook, and the surrounding sea boiled. Countless sea beasts and fish were instantly killed by the shockwaves.
"Alright, alright, we can discuss things. Why resort to fighting?"
A black vortex of demonic energy formed in mid-air, and from it emerged a graceful figure wearing high heels. The Demon Queen walked out of the black vortex with a smile, accompanied by a tall figure in a black robe with red clouds, who was none other than Tian Mo You.
The moment Wang Shouyi saw Tian Mo You and felt the aura of the Demon Queen emanating from him, his expression remained unchanged. However, Yu Zhibo's mind reeled, and an angry voice sounded in his head: "You little brat, you've caused trouble!"
Yu Zhibo kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his mouth, not daring to say a word.
At the same moment the Demon Queen appeared, from the depths of the endless abyss, a slumbering colossal beast slowly opened its eyes. It then transformed into a towering man over two meters tall, with golden patterns and dark dragon horns on his head, striding across the waves and arriving at the scene in an instant.
This person had six golden patterns between his eyebrows, and laws also swirled around him, showing signs of becoming more integrated. He was the strongest among the sea beasts, named Ao Jin. His true form was a hybrid black-gold dragon with true dragon bloodline. Yu Zhibo had used his authority to check his information.
Upon his arrival, the Sea King burst into hearty laughter and then rebuked the Ghost King, "We are all powerful beings of the same realm, and we are companions living on this planet. Why must it come to this? Ghost King, why don't you come down? No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than us? Don't you have that thing called? Oh, according to humans, it's called politeness."
Seeing the Sea King offering him a way down, the Ghost King snorted and said, "Wang Shouyi, don't speak so aggressively. I had already planned to come down. If you dare to provoke me further, I will abandon all my foundations and fight you to the death without fear!"
Wang Shouyi sneered, "What nonsense are you spouting? If this realm weren't so weak, I would kill you like slaughtering a dog. How dare a stray dog bark so wildly in front of me? Since you are all present, I will speak plainly. From today onwards, your forces must retreat three hundred miles from the vicinity of our Dragon Country. If I discover even one evil spirit, sea monster, or demon with your imprint of destiny, don't blame me for turning hostile."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen covered her mouth and giggled, "Indeed, after this realm merged with the Eternal Night Realm, Mr. Wang's confidence has increased significantly. Are you waiting for an opportune moment to ask Dao Sage to eliminate us, or do you intend to use void banishment to cast us into the Eternal Night World to fight amongst ourselves? However, Mr. Wang, I advise you not to go too far. Do you really think we have no fallback plans?"
The Demon Queen's words instantly resonated with the Ghost King. The hidden threat mentioned by the Demon Queen was also something it had been worried about.
The Sea King, however,'s eyes lit up. "May I ask what fallback plans the Queen has? Why not present them for all of us to admire?" Judging by his expression, he seemed unconcerned about the potential threat from Dragon Country.
Wang Shouyi said coldly, "Rest assured, our Dragon Country has always upheld three principles towards foreign nations and races: fairness and reason, working together, and mutual benefit and win-win. As the saying goes, 'When the Great Dao is practiced, the world is for all.' As long as you do not regard our Dragon Country's citizens as sustenance, we will not proactively target you."
Upon hearing this, the Sea King shook his head. "Your Dragon Country is too fond of playing rogue. Don't think I don't know your intentions. It's simply to make us retreat three hundred miles, then use the national destiny golden dragon to protect it, making it your new territory. Then, three hundred more miles, and eventually, the entire world will be yours, leaving us no place to stand, let alone develop."
At these words, the Ghost King and the Demon King nodded in agreement, stating their absolute refusal.
Wang Shouyi was not surprised and thus changed the condition. "Then, law-level powerhouses are forbidden from entering within three thousand miles of our Dragon Country. If I discover any, I will act immediately, and you shall not interfere."
Upon hearing this, the Sea, Demon, and Ghost Kings exchanged glances and nodded, saying, "Agreed!"
The Sea King added, "As a price, your Dragon Country's law-level powerhouses are also forbidden from leaving this designated area, otherwise, we will also take action!"
Wang Shouyi immediately became furious. "What percentage of the world's area does Dragon Country occupy? What percentage do you occupy? Are you trying to raise our Dragon Country as livestock? Can you agree or not? If not, we fight!"
"Daoist friend, please calm down. Such matters require discussion. Why are you jumping up and down?" The Sea King was not surprised by Wang Shouyi's reaction and said with a smile.
Wang Shouyi snorted and said, "You only need to quickly determine your national borders. The national borders will be the same as ours, not exceeding ten million square kilometers, plus three hundred miles of border territory. We naturally will not invade you."
"Impossible!" Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen was fine, but the Sea Beast and the Ghost King almost jumped up, their emotions agitated, and their faces filled with anger.
This was because the Earth's oceans were vast, occupying 70% of the Earth. Wang Shouyi's statement directly reduced their sphere of influence by 90%, which was extremely overbearing.
Due to the fall of many human nations, evil spirits were rampant on land, and the Ghost King had now occupied 50% of the Earth's land. Forcing him to have a national border as large as China's meant that the territories previously conquered would have to be relinquished, resulting in heavy losses.
In the following time, the major powers began to argue fiercely over the division of land, and it was only after half an hour that a consensus was finally reached.
