After the Shark King uttered those words, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness in the air around him, which made him shiver uncontrollably. When he looked up at Luo Xiu again, he was struck dumb. His entire body began to tremble and shake as if being crushed by an immense force. The terrifying Emperor's Might roared toward him like an endless sea of blood, bearing down with overwhelming power!
"AH—!"
A scream suddenly rang out.
The Demon People nearby, caught under the crushing weight of this terrifying Emperor's Might, had their bones shattered to pieces in an instant and collapsed onto the ground like heaps of mud!
Luo Xiu's bloodshot eyes seemed ready to overflow with blood as he slowly walked up to the Shark King and grabbed him by the throat.
"Spare... spare my life, please!"
Only then did the Shark King realize that the young man before him, who merely exuded the aura of the Immortal Realm, was in fact far stronger than he was.
The mere unintentional release of his oppressive might was enough to kill my brothers, who are mostly at the Immortal Realm… What kind of strength is this?
"Master, actually... what I said just now... was nonsense... I didn't capture... those two girls..." The intense desire to survive allowed the Shark King to struggle to get the words out even as he was being choked.
Hearing this, Luo Xiu's hand on his neck loosened slightly, and he immediately kicked the Shark King, sending him tumbling to the ground.
The Shark King scrambled back up, then dropped forcefully to his knees. With his head bowed low, he said, "Master, I really didn't capture those two girls, they weren't on my ship!"
Luo Xiu forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart, trying his best to remain calm.
"Where are they?"
Covered in a cold sweat, the Shark King said with a trembling voice, "Earlier... I led my men to chase them, but they had powerful Magical Treasures. I never got an opportunity, and we lost quite a few brothers... And then... they fled into that dreadful place."
"What I said before was just to vent my frustration... Master, I swear I didn't touch them, not even a single hair!"
Luo Xiu said coldly, "Get to the point."
Stammering, the Shark King said, "They... they escaped into the Boundless Realm."
"What is that place?"
"To be honest, I don't really know that place either," the Shark King said. "I just know that for the past decade or so, it's been extremely dangerous and has been drifting throughout Tianhe. Any creature that gets too close to the Boundless Realm is entangled by the Law Chains that emerge from within... and those who are pulled inside never come out again."
"Take me there."
At these words, the Shark King's heart skipped a beat. With a woebegone expression, he said, "This... Master... the Boundless Realm isn't far from here. Although it moves around, it should still be in the same area for now. I can point you in the right direction, and you can go on your own..."
Luo Xiu suddenly kicked him in the face. Several teeth went flying, piercing through the wooden planks nearby. The Shark King rolled on the ground a few times, blood streaming from his mouth and nose as he howled in agony.
"Master, please stop! I'll take you, I'll take you there!"
「An hour later.」
The Shark King led Luo Xiu to the vicinity of the Boundless Realm. From a distance, the so-called "Boundless Realm" was a mass of white light, emitting an ineffable sense of mystery and strangeness.
"Master, that's the Boundless Realm. Those two girls are inside," he said. "I remember a few years ago, a powerhouse at the fifth level of Dao Jade passed by and was dragged in by the Law Chains. He has yet to come out. So, Master... you should be careful."
Without another word, Luo Xiu flashed toward the Boundless Realm.
As he drew near, just as the Shark King had said, a Law Chain shot out and wrapped around him. Luo Xiu looked at the Law Chain entangled around his waist, and it seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Without giving it much thought, he forcibly snapped it and flashed into the mass of white light.
「Elsewhere.」
The Shark King was quite surprised to see that Luo Xiu had just left him behind. Watching Luo Xiu's receding figure, the corners of his mouth lifted into a slight smirk.
Go on then, go on. I hope you never come out! Heh, what an overconfident fool, daring to venture into the Boundless Realm.
He never expected that as he was muttering to himself, a black Sword Qi would shoot through the air and instantly pierce through the area below his abdomen. Before he could even let out a scream, a sinister, deathly energy flowed into his limbs, devouring his life force and leaving him to die a slow, agonizing death.
...
After flying into the mass of white light, Luo Xiu found himself on a grassy field. He looked around and found the scenery very familiar. Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"This... this is Master Ping's World Inside the Vase?"
Suddenly, he remembered the Law Chains from before and realized why they felt so familiar.
Those were Master Ping's Dao Law God Chains!
While Luo Xiu was lost in thought, a figure descended from the sky and landed with a THUD right in front of him. Luo Xiu looked up and saw an old man with hair as white as frost.
"Are you... Master Ping?" Luo Xiu asked tentatively.
"Impudent!" The old man's expression changed instantly, and he shouted furiously, "You're new here! Who are you to call him Master Ping? You will call him Master! Now, come along, little one. Follow me to see the Master and receive his initiation."
Luo Xiu was dumbfounded but followed the old man.
Before long, Luo Xiu followed the old man to a circular Dao platform. In the very center sat a large, fat man who appeared to be in his early twenties. His body was so plump that, sitting cross-legged, he looked like a meaty dumpling. Around the fat man sat a dozen or so other people, seemingly engaged in some mysterious cultivation ritual. The old man stepped onto the altar, knelt on one knee, and announced to the fat man, "Master, a new War Slave has arrived."
Hearing this, the fat man opened his small eyes, floated up, and landed lightly at the edge of the platform to scrutinize Luo Xiu. At the same time, Luo Xiu was also sizing him up.
In the silence, the fat man's small eyes, squeezed amidst the flesh of his face, suddenly darted. "Boy, you are Master Ping's twenty-first War Slave. Why aren't you kneeling to pay your respects to Master Ping?!"
Hearing the familiar voice and tone, Luo Xiu suddenly broke into a laugh, though his eyes grew moist. He suddenly cursed, "To hell with you, you damn fatass!"
The white-haired old man's gaze shook. He pointed an angry finger at Luo Xiu. "Insolent whelp! Kneel and pay your respects to the Master at once!"
But just then, the fat man wobbled his massive body toward Luo Xiu and leaped at him.
"Son of a bitch! Why aren't you dead yet?!"
Luo Xiu scrambled to dodge and yelled back, "Where the hell did you find this body? It must weigh at least three hundred pounds!"
"Hehe, what do you think? This is Master Ping's manifested fleshly body. Handsome, isn't it?"
Luo Xiu's lips twitched as he looked at the pile of fat. He forced a smile. "As long as you're happy."
"Nima! Isn't it handsome?"
Luo Xiu's expression turned serious. "Enough nonsense. I have to ask you something important first. Was Shan Shan here earlier?"
