In the absolute darkness of the space, a huge crimson crack existed.
It released deep blinding crimson light, with a semblance of dark aura mixing with it.
In front of the crack hovered a young man.
He had long black hair reaching down to his hips, freely splaying over his shoulders.
He wore black robes with golden lining, with the image of the Golden Crow imprinted on the back.
Within the darkness of the space, his reptilian golden gaze glowed with authority and power. A regal and majestic aura surrounded him.
He raised his hand and touched the crimson aura, causing him to abruptly pull his hand back. A small cut had appeared over his fingers, from which blood dripped gently.
"Unstable space is sure dangerous, especially one created by the World Piercer. Even my resistances couldn't block all the damage."
Even though the damage was insignificant, one must know that his resistances made it almost impossible to hurt him. The fact that the spatial storm still damaged him showed the power of the heavenly treasure.
"Even with my mastery over the spatial laws, I might not be able to form storms as potent as this."
Suddenly, the young man chuckled.
"I wonder if I can create my own World Piercer. Hmm. It's not impossible. Maybe if I can get even a small particle of it, I might be able to recreate it with my authority."
Unit Creation not only gave him authority over creation, it also allowed him to recreate anything as long as he had even a smaller piece of the original object.
The young man cupped his chin and a deep look of contemplation appeared over his face.
"Maybe I should learn the Law of Nothingness. Will it allow me to create these Heavenly Treasures?"
He had postponed the learning of the Law of Nothingness since he already had Unit Creation, which essentially allowed him to do the same.
Now he wondered if he should learn it.
"But my authority also requires energy to work. Hmm. Can I have infinite energy through the Law of Nothingness?"
In the original text, Yun Che indeed showed the ability to absorb energy directly from the crystals. But that alone did not prove anything regarding the creation of energy through the Law of Nothingness.
If such was the case, Primal Chaos would never have fallen into its current state after all.
Hence the creation of energy really didn't make any sense, even with the Law of Nothingness.
Creation might be possible, but the same was the case with his authority.
'But I do know that the usage of the Law of Nothingness does not require energy. So it is indeed better than my authority in some manner.'
"Oh well, we'll know once I learn it."
Just then, two people appeared.
One of them looked like a lazy, arrogant-looking man who didn't even bother standing properly. He was clad in silver clothing.
He had the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, and he looked thin and pale to the point where it was almost sickly.
His face, however, was something that no one could forget after a glance. It was a kind of handsomeness that could make even a beautiful woman jealous.
From a glance, one could tell that this man held the most authority among the two.
The other man also had the same extraordinary bearing. The only difference was that his eyes shone with vitality and pride, as if nothing in this world was worth his time. Proudly puffing out his chest, he flew beside the other man.
Despite their extraordinary appearance and almost suffocating aura they released, Yun Che did not bother to turn his head to look at them. His gaze was still fixated on the crimson crack, as if he could see what lay beyond it.
The lazy, arrogant-looking man looked at Yun Che and his eyes narrowed. "What is a Divine Soul Realm kid doing here? It's not a place for weaklings like you, kid."
Yun Che ignored him.
This attitude of "you are not worth my time" made the man frown, and a feral smirk appeared on his face. "I guess you at least have the guts to stand here and ignore me."
Yun Che finally turned around and looked at the two men. He raised his brow and asked blatantly, "Are you some famous harlot I am supposed to know about?"
The man's eyes widened, same with the other man standing beside him. Both of them looked at Yun Che as if staring at a ghost, not believing what they just heard.
Suddenly, the lazy-looking man started to laugh. His laughter sounded calm yet filled with immense authority. As his voice contained the mandate of heaven itself, his eyes glowed azure as he glared back at Yun Che.
"Die."
There was no play of words. And the man's anger was evident as he waved his hand towards Yun Che. An invisible threat of thick but potent Divine Energy traveled towards Yun Che and hit him.
But the result that the two men had expected, Yun Che blowing up into a mist of blood, didn't happen.
Instead, Yun Che raised his brow and looked down at his chest before he returned his gaze towards the dumbfounded man. "Was that supposed to hurt?"
"..." The lazy look on the man's face instantly vanished and was replaced with a serious look. Even his lazy posture was straightened as his Divine Senses exploded and covered Yun Che.
"Who are you?"
"Does that matter? You cannot do anything to me anyways."
A dumbfounded expression formed over the man's face. It looked like he had a hard time processing what he just heard. He had seen people hate him, fear him, revere him, but this was the first time he met someone who dared to be this disrespectful towards him.
Even God Emperors did not dare to be this disrespectful towards him! And the person in front of him was only a Divine Soul Realm, which made this whole situation even more… astonishing.
"I think he is an idiot with no eyes, Royal Father. He cannot even distinguish between our strengths. Do we really have to waste our time on him?" The other man spoke. He looked at Yun Che with unhidden disdain and disgust, as if looking at the biggest fool in existence. "Let me take care of him."
The man did not wait for a response from his father and flew in front of Yun Che.
"Blame your parents for giving birth to such a retard like you."
A profound explosion occurred and the man punched Yun Che without holding back. This resulted in Yun Che's chest to cave in as blood started to leak from his orifices.
The young man pulled his hand back and smirked.
"All talk but no bark. You shouldn't have dared to talk disrespectfully with my father, the ruler of the Southern Sea God Realm."
"Oh, so he is Nan Wansheng. So you must be Nan Qianqiu, the crown prince."
Nan Wansheng and Nan Qianqiu's eyes widened. They stared at the Yun Che standing some distance away from them without any visible injuries, their heads snapping back towards the Yun Che's whose chest was caved in; an astonished expression appeared over their faces.
"Illusion?"
Nan Wansheng frowned as Yun Che with caved chest shattered into small pieces of mirror.
"Such a powerful illusion… This is the first time I have ever fallen for one." Nan Wansheng looked at Yun Che with new vigor in his gaze as if staring at a gem. He raised his hand towards Yun Che and smiled. "Good, I have acknowledged your talent. How about you join my Southern Sea God Realm? Women, power, money, treasures, whatever you require, I can provide you. How about it?"
"That's a nice offer." Yun Che made a contemplating expression and looked at Nan Wansheng seriously. "I do want a certain woman. I wonder if you can get them for me."
A confident smirk appeared over Nan Wansheng's face.
"Same name. I'll have her appear in front of you."
"Are you sure? I feel like it is going to be an impossible endeavor even for you." Yun Che explained. "The woman I am talking about is a quite stubborn and arrogant woman. I feel like even with your position, you might not be able to get her for me."
"Bha! What a joke!" Nan Qianqiu laughed. "Is there any woman who dares to ignore my Royal Father's orders? Just say the name. Why are you hesitating so much?"
"Well, if you say so…" Yun Che still looked suspicious, making Nan Wansheng and Nan Qianqiu annoyed.
They belonged to the strongest star realm within the Southern God Region. Even Brahma God Realm did not dare to be disrespectful to them.
Which woman could they not get their hands on?
Yun Che seeing their expression smiled happily and said, his voice quite joyful as if he got his wish completed.
"It's Qianye Ying'er, Brahma Goddess!"
Instantly, Nan Wansheng and Nan Qianqiu's expressions scrunched.
Looking at Yun Che's smirking expression, they understood he was playing with them.
This instantly enrages them.
This was the first time they've met someone who dared to be this respectful to them.
"I will make sure to deliver the worst possible death to you." Nan Wansheng smiled madly as Profound Energy revolved berserk around him. Even the space doesn't seem to bear its weight, bending in a weird angle.
"Hahaha, why you mad bro? I thought you were getting me any woman? So why chicken out all of sudden?" Yun Che laughed loudly.
After a while, he took a long breath and looked at the father son duo and waved his hand.
"Well, it was nice playing with you two. I'll definitely invite you guys to my wedding with Ying'er. Make sure to attend it."
"Bastard—!"
The space bent, and in front of their eyes, Yun Che vanished.
No matter how far they extended their senses, they could not find even a single trace of his existence. It was as if he literally vanished from the thin air.
"Teleportation… He must be in the hold of a brilliant treasure. Tsk. Let's go. We are returning back to our realm. I'll have someone investigate him. And once I find out who he is… hehehe… I'll make sure he begs for death in front of me!"
