Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 834: Chapter 894 Battle in the Painting Chapter 834: Chapter 894 Battle in the Painting Everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene; the world seemed to turn into a blank sheet of paper, with the Hanging Island on the Star Belt, along with Tie, becoming black lines on that white paper, like characters in a somewhat cartoonish ink painting.

No, it wasn’t just Tie and the Hanging Islands; even Fourth Brother Lin Xiangdong had become a character within the ink painting.

Unlike a real ink painting, the things inside this one were still alive and capable of movement.

However, as they moved within the ink painting, unlike the outside world, they seemed to only move in a two-dimensional manner across the paper.

Tie swung a punch at Lin Xiangdong, his figure charging straight at Fourth Brother Lin Xiangdong on the ink scroll, while Lin Xiangdong merely lightly leapt over Tie’s head.

Their fight looked like two shadows moving on a fabric, confined to just left, right, forward, and backward movements; there were no other spatial options, and their attacks had also become two-dimensional.

Lin Shen watched, dumbfounded, having never seen anything like this.

It was as if watching an old cartridge video game being played on a monochrome TV, limited to just up, down, forward, and backward movements.

Black petals fell onto the ink painting, and Tie, who could only move up, down, forward, and backward, had no space to dodge and could only let the petals fall on him, staining his body.

But in the next second, the petals on Tie dispersed like black smoke and ultimately vanished; Tie passed through the petals and bombed Fourth Brother Lin Xiangdong with a punch.

Lin Xiangdong didn’t dare to catch his punch and quickly jumped up, attempting to leap over Tie’s head.

However, Tie was faster, acting later but arriving first, still smashing a punch toward Fourth Brother Lin Xiangdong.

Lin Shen’s heart almost leapt out of his chest; Fourth Brother was unavoidable, and if he clashed head-on with Tie, he would likely suffer a great deal.

Just when everyone thought there was no solution but to engage head-on, Fourth Brother casually drew a few lines on the ink-like scroll, somehow crafting a path that stretched into the distance, giving depth to the scene.

His body didn’t seem to move, but it shifted away from Tie’s space, dodging his fist.

Those lines were subsequently erased, leaving Tie still restricted to moving only forward, backward, left, and right; meanwhile, Fourth Brother attacked him from another angle.

Not only was Lin Shen stunned, but even Tian Xun, with his extensive knowledge, and Xiao Yu, with her inherited memories, were amazed by such a battle.

Fourth Brother’s strength could use lines to create various spaces and contrasts on the scroll, altering his position relative to Tie, and casually drawing mountains and seas to block Tie’s attacks.

Just a moment ago, he and Tie were close at hand; the next, they were separated by mountains and seas, yet Tie could only move on a flat surface.

“What kind of Law is this…

it feels like 3D versus 2D…” Xiao Yu watched, astonished.

“The Law of Fourth Brother seems somewhat similar to that of an ancient Realm King known as the Immortal Law, who had a nickname, ‘The Person in the Painting’, capable of turning the world into a picture and sealing enemies within it.

However, entering the painting to fight himself is something unheard of…” Tian Xun pondered.

Lin Shen’s condition had greatly improved; the Super-Base Recast had nearly fully restored his body, and the armor transformed by his Contrarian had also largely repaired itself, becoming much harder.

Yet in such a battle, Lin Shen couldn’t provide any help and could only watch on as Fourth Brother and Tie fought within the scroll.

This kind of battle was unimaginable; within the painting, Lin Xiangdong possessed a god-like existence, controlling clouds and rain, and the stars and seas were merely lines under his command.

The bizarre and strange shifts in perspective made Lin Xiangdong’s fight look uncanny and effortlessly composed; even Tie, with his power to shatter everything, appeared somewhat passive within the scroll.

Lin Shen felt some anxiety, as Lin Xiangdong was very strong, so much so that Lin Shen felt he was almost omnipotent.

Yet both he and Lin Shen encountered the same predicament, and Lin Xiangdong’s strength had not yet harmed Tie.

Tie’s Lawless Heaven strength shattered everything; even the scenery in the painting would break upon touch, and ink could not stain his body.

“If I were to become immortal, what kind of Law would I need to stand upon?” Among the Laws he had seen, those of Tian Jiuyou, Tian Xun, and his fourth brother were the most profound.

“Tian Xun, darling, can you tell which Law my fourth brother follows?” Lin Shen asked as he turned to Tian Xun.

Tian Xun shook his head, “I forcibly became immortal, merely achieving immortality through the Future Law.

I am still far from true immortality, and I’ve never seen such a Law from our fourth brother; I can’t see its essence.

However, his Law should be above mine.

Even if it’s not the Immortal Law, it should be close to the true Immortal Law of the future.”
While they were talking, they suddenly saw Tie, who could only move in two dimensions, abruptly clench his hands and forcefully pull apart, as if he was opening a pair of invisible sliding doors.

But in the next second, Lin Shen and the others were horrified to find that the black and white scroll ripped apart like paper in Tie’s hands.

Tie, like a character bursting out of a comic book, transformed from two-dimensional to his original form.

The torn scroll also turned into countless white petals that fluttered about, and Lin Xiangdong’s body returned from the painting to reality.

Lin Xiangdong’s face was slightly pale as he looked at Tie and said, “Such a powerful technique; you are the strongest opponent I’ve encountered in my life.”
“Your World Law is strong too, but unfortunately, you’ve just started and haven’t quite mastered it.

In the realms of the Immortal Law—Human Law, Earth Law, Heaven Law—you’ve barely touched the threshold of Human Law,” Tie also said looking at Lin Xiangdong, “You may leave.

I won’t kill you.

When you enter the realm of Heaven Law, I will come for your life.”
“I leave, and they leave too,” said Lin Xiangdong lightly.

“They can all go, but Lin Shen must die,” said Tie expressionlessly.

“It seems then, between you and me, we must settle our score today,” Lin Xiangdong stated without hesitation, smiling.

“It appears I won’t get to see the World Law of the Heavenly Law Realm,” the red light glinting in Tie’s eyes suggested he was determined to kill Lin Shen.

“That may not be the case,” Lin Xiangdong still smiled, lifting his right hand as a petal floated gently in his palm.

“There’s no ‘may not be’…

I…

Lawless Heaven…” Suddenly, Tie moved, stepping towards Lin Xiangdong.

His speed didn’t seem fast, yet he was instantly in front of Lin Xiangdong.

The petals in Lin Xiangdong’s hands fluttered out, one turning into a scroll that once again trapped Tie within.

But this time, Tie directly broke through the scroll.

Petals surged towards Tie, like individual drawings; he walked right through them, his body constantly shifting between the drawing and reality, yet nothing could stop his steps.

“Lin Shen, what are you watching for?

Hurry up and take out something to save us.

Do you really want to stand there and watch me get killed?” Lin Xiangdong said as he retreated swiftly.
