Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Destiny Kills Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Destiny Kills Tian Ruodu sneered inwardly upon seeing Lin Shen truly write his name on the stone tablet, “If you can use such a law to kill me, then my years of cultivating the Law of Soul have been a waste.”
By now, Lin Shen had finished inscribing Tian Ruodu’s three characters on the tablet and then, below them, wrote a line of small text.

Before Tian Ruodu could make out what the small text said, blood unexpectedly started to ooze from the freshly written characters.

As the blood continued to seep forth, it twisted ominously atop Tian Ruodu’s name, threatening to overflow from the letters.

Tian Ruodu’s originally mocking face suddenly became extremely unsightly; the color drained instantaneously from his cheeks, leaving them as pale as snow.

His flesh shriveled at an alarming rate, and his previously robust form became skeletal in an instant, his cracked skin shedding powder, which fell off in increasing quantities.

Tian Ruodu was shocked to his core.

He pushed the Dark Law and the Law of Soul to their limits, creating a black hole to envelop his body, seeking to resist the power of the Deathly Destiny Stele.

But in just a moment, the black hole shattered with a roar, revealing Tian Ruodu inside, now resembling a dried corpse.

A gust of Vigor Force blew, and Tian Ruodu’s body scattered like incense ashes.

For a moment, everyone was stunned; Tian Ruodu had been killed just like that.

Tian Ruodu, adept with the Law of Soul, capable of killing with a mere inscription of a name, had been killed by someone inscribing his own.

Meanwhile, Lin Shen, whose name Tian Ruodu had written down long before, still stood perfectly fine, not even a hair out of place.

“This person is unfathomable, an adversary beyond force!” Mr.

Jiao, controlling his carriage, backed away as if he feared Lin Shen writing his name on the tablet, and cried out simultaneously, “We shall spare your lives for today, all troops, retreat.”
Mr.

ƝονǤᴑ.ƈօ

Jiao had just finished speaking when suddenly, a stern voice commanded, “I did not order a retreat, who dares to flee.”
A black hole opened in the void, with black and white light shadows passing through and appearing in the spot where Tian Ruodu had just been.

But now, Tian Ruodu looked somewhat different; his body no longer flesh and bone but an ethereal being, a Six-winged Angel Creature, with a dark-skinned Soul Book cradled in his arms.

Lin Shen immediately recognized that the current Tian Ruodu was no longer the true Tian Ruodu.

The Six-winged Angel being must be Tian Ruodu’s Life Base, the Bright Seraph—though it was unknown by what means, after the destruction of his physical body, his soul had somehow attached itself to the Life Base of the Bright Seraph.

Mr.

Jiao and the Immortal Creatures Corps, who were about to retreat, after stirring briefly, stopped in their tracks.

Since Tian Ruodu was not dead, without his order, they did not dare to retreat, yet they also dared not move forward.

Tian Ruodu could resurrect after death, a feat they did not possess.

They refused to risk their own bodies; the strength Lin Shen had displayed was too overwhelming.

“Lin Shen, you dared to destroy my physical body, I will surely kill you today,” said Tian Ruodu, his body emanating a glow that ascended.

Light of Law unfolded around him, not the slightest trace of Dark Law could be seen.

The quickness of the light radiating from his body was inconceivable, allowing no time for one to even think of dodging, as it beamed upon Lin Shen.

In fact, no matter how fast he was, it did not relate to Lin Shen.

When his speed was slow before, Lin Shen still couldn’t dodge.

The radiance shone upon Lin Shen but failed to penetrate the light of the Light of Fate Reversal around him, shattering and vanishing directly.

Lin Shen had not used the Deathly Destiny Stele again.

He had obtained it for quite some time, but he seldom made use of it.

The reason lied in the fact that the Stele itself had too many restrictions and could easily backlash against the user.

The artifact could only kill those whose Strength was weaker than one’s own.

If one dared to punch above their weight, to kill those of a higher level by force, the Deathly Destiny Stele might even backlash against the user.

Unable to kill the target, one could end up being killed by the Stele instead.

However, Lin Shen possessed both the large and small Deathly Destiny Steles, and the smaller Stele naturally had the power to restrain the larger Stele, so under normal circumstances, Lin Shen wouldn’t be backlashed.

But the smaller Stele itself did not possess the ability to kill.

At most, it could be used to check someone’s name or their birth date and time.

Lin Shen had experimented before.

If one were to write a name on the larger Stele and add the birth date and time, the effect of the Deathly Destiny Stele would be stronger, able to triumph over the strong despite being the weaker party to a certain extent.

But if the power gap was too vast, it would still not work.

With Lin Shen’s current solid strength, combined with the large and small Deathly Destiny Steles, killing a substantially weaker Immortal might still have a slight possibility.

But killing an Immortal of Tian Ruodu’s level was absolutely impossible.

Without the smaller Stele, backlash from the Deathly Destiny Stele was guaranteed.

And yet, Tian Ruodu courted death by attempting to use the power of the Soul Book to kill Lin Shen.

Protected by the smaller Destiny Stele, Lin Shen was not an easy target; abilities of that kind rarely posed a threat to him, let alone with the power of the Light of Fate Reversal at his disposal.

It even allowed Lin Shen to transform the power Tian Ruodu wielded from the Soul Book into his own immense strength.

Lin Shen borrowed this force, in addition to his inherent power, and wrote Tian Ruodu’s name upon the Deathly Destiny Stele, directly killing Tian Ruodu’s physical body.

The power of the Deathly Destiny Stele and the Soul Book was somewhat different; the Soul Book harvested souls, while the Deathly Destiny Stele ended physical lives.

Under normal circumstances, an Immortal should have also perished, but Tian Ruodu, adept in the Law of Soul, was able to transfer his soul into the Life Base and continued living, using the Life Base as a vessel.

But now he no longer had a human form, so the Deathly Destiny Stele’s effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Moreover, without Tian Ruodu’s Strength to borrow, using the Deathly Destiny Stele to overcome superiors could easily result in backlash, and Lin Shen did not dare to use it recklessly.

Lin Shen watched Tian Ruodu, whose body was dead, burst into an insane radiance, showing signs of losing control.

Wherever his radiance cast, it made no distinction between friend or foe; any Immortal Creature who was too close was instantly slain by his light.

That light was indeed too fast, so fast that even unfortunate beings couldn’t react in time.

However, Lin Shen suddenly had an epiphany.

Tian Ruodu had always said he inverted the Light into Darkness, becoming the Dark Law King.

It turned out he was nothing more than a pseudo Dharma King.

Now it was clear; his Law was still the Law of Light after all.

The Dark Law was merely a subsidiary of the Law of Light.

Although he had trained the Dark Law to its utmost, a subsidiary was ultimately just a subsidiary, no matter how powerful it might be.

It was still just a part of the Law of Light, still a step away from being the real King of Laws.

Tian Ruodu, whose body was destroyed, was almost insane by now, his Law of Light and Law of Soul proving useless against Lin Shen.

He immediately issued a command to the Immortal Creatures Corps: “Kill, kill them all for me.”
