Chapter 15014 The Demon Soul Clan Has Its Eyes on the Realm of Annihilation

"Double Sacred Rune Array!" Xia Ming exclaimed once again.

"What is this? Why are you so excited? Isn't it just casting two holy rune arrays at the same time? I can do that right now," Ling Xiao asked.

"You don't understand. The dual sacred rune array here doesn't mean that at all. It refers to the simultaneous deployment of sacred rune arrays in different spaces, which is why it's related to the laws of space," Xia Ming said, shaking his head.

"So that's how it is. In other words, one sacred rune array is on the surface, while the other sacred rune array is hidden in space, allowing it to strike unexpectedly?" Ling Xiao realized instantly.

"Yes, think about it. Even if the enemy sees through your first holy rune array and thinks he has you in his grasp, what kind of expression will he have when the holy rune arrays you hide in space are superimposed, not only becoming more terrifyingly powerful than he expected, but also producing different effects?"

Xia Ming grinned mischievously.

"They must have been extremely surprised and exclaimed that it was impossible!" Ling Xiao smiled. "If I had known that the laws of space had so many benefits, I would have learned them long ago and wouldn't have had to wait until now."

"The benefits of the spatial laws go far beyond this. Look, this book also records the technique of integrating concealment runes into the spatial laws, which directly increases the concealment several times. Even if someone is stronger than you, if the difference is not too great, they will not be able to detect his presence at all. It truly achieves being silent and invisible."

"That's true. Then let's learn these two skills first, and then look at the others."

Ling Xiao no longer hesitated and immediately began to try cultivating the dual holy rune array and the hidden holy rune into the laws of space.

This takes a little longer, a full three hours, before we get anything.

"You learned it already? You're a real genius!" Xia Ming exclaimed once again.

She originally thought it would take Ling Xiao at least seven or eight days to learn this, but she didn't expect him to have made progress in just three hours. Is this guy a prodigy?

"I've only just learned the basics. To fully master it, I'll have to learn through practice." Ling Xiao was quite modest.

"You don't need to be modest. What you learn from books is only superficial. To become proficient, you definitely need to hone your skills in real-world situations. This applies to everyone, not just you."

Xia Ming waved his hand, "Alright, let's take a look at that book on the Dark Laws, it's bound to have some good stuff!"

Ling Xiao nodded and opened the ancient book on the laws of darkness.

The moment he opened the book, his demonic avatar was released, and a huge phantom enveloped the entire cultivation room.

"It seems that the Dark Laws are very compatible with you. You are a demonic cultivator, so you should be able to learn this stuff more easily than the Five Elements Laws and the Space Laws!"

Xia Ming was even more impressed. If the first two learned so quickly, then this thing must be even faster. This kid is truly a treasure; no wonder he's the grandson of Boss Hong Qi.

"This dark domain is good, let's learn this first." Ling Xiao looked at it for a while and had almost mastered the basics, so he chose something he thought was very powerful.

"Yes, the Dark Domain. This is a domain-specific divine power. Within the Dark Domain, all beings who step into the domain will be stripped of their ability to activate their own domain, as if their strongest trump card has been discarded. At the same time, invisible mental attacks will constantly emerge within the domain, eroding the enemy's soul, plunging them into chaos and fear, and ultimately causing them to completely lose their fighting ability."

"As for martial artists who cultivate demonic techniques, being in the dark domain will increase the power of all demonic techniques by more than three times, making it a veritable home ground for demonic experts. You really made the right choice by choosing this, kid. Learn it! Once you master this thing, even Void Annihilation Realm experts will be no threat to you."

Xia Ming also agreed, thinking that Ling Xiao had a good eye for choosing things.

Having gained Xia Ming's approval, Ling Xiao began to cultivate diligently, as these were things that could improve his strength, and he had to learn them well.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he had just begun to grasp the rudiments of the Dark Realm when suddenly, there was a rapid knocking at the door.

"Grandmaster! Grandmaster! Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"

It was Yao Tianji's voice; he sounded very anxious.

Although Ling Xiao was somewhat displeased, he still stopped cultivating. Yao Tianji wouldn't disturb his cultivation casually; since he had come, something big must have happened.

He got up, walked quickly to the door, and opened the palace door.

Yao Tianji stood outside the door, his face ashen.

"Dean Yao, what happened?" Ling Xiao's tone immediately became serious.

"The Demon Soul Clan has sent people to the Realm of Annihilation! They're targeting the Overlord Empire, intending to harm your family and friends in order to force you to return and fall into their trap!"

"There's one more thing. Our people discovered that the leaders of this team are none other than Yelü Di and Yelü Huang, two powerful figures from the Demon Soul Clan, along with Hu Xie. They've brought over a hundred elite members of the Demon Soul Clan, all incredibly strong. They've clearly come prepared, with a clear objective: to capture you!"

Ling Xiao sneered. These people actually dared to provoke him; they really had a death wish.

Yao Tianji continued, "There's one more thing I must tell you. A mysterious woman once said that she protected the Silent Realm, and no one dared to make a move against it. But now, the Demon Soul Clan is far too powerful. Yelü Di and Yelü Huang are both top-tier experts, and there's also a ruthless character like Hu Xie. That woman may not be able to protect everyone!"

Ling Xiao naturally knew that the person Yao Tianji was referring to was the Moon Maiden.

The problem is that the Moon Maiden in the Realm of Annihilation is merely a projection.

Can a single projection truly protect the entire Overlord Empire and all his relatives and friends?

The Demon Soul Clan didn't send out just any Tom, Dick, or Harry this time. They sent their two trump cards, Yelü Di and Yelü Huang, along with the old monster from the Sword Emperor Sect who had possessed the body of Hu Xie and lived for ten thousand years. Each of them was a ruthless character at the top level of the Chaotic Martial World.

Could a projection of the Moon Maiden really stop them from joining forces?

Ling Xiao took a deep breath; it seemed he had no choice but to go back.

"Prepare the teleportation array. I need to return to the Realm of Annihilation."

"You can't go!" Yao Tianji hurriedly stopped Ling Xiao. "I'm telling you this because Jiang Yijian, Xiao Lianzhu, and other powerful figures have already decided to go. You'd better stay here and cultivate steadily. This time, the Demon Soul Clan's plan is clearly to lure you to their rescue and then capture you alive."

"Dean Yao, I'll just ask you one question: if your family member were threatened, would you save them?" Ling Xiao asked Yao Tianji coldly.

Yao Tianji paused for a moment, then sighed, "Fine, since our junior grandmaster insists on going, then we, the Holy Rune Academy, will risk our lives to accompany you. At worst, we'll die!" (End of Chapter)
