Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 887 - 535: The Ruler_2

But among those Spiritual Treasures, there is absolutely no Jade Ruler.

"The Ruler has always been in the Land of the Forsaken Husk. As for its whereabouts, it was Senior Brother who told me. You two think you’ve schemed everything, but you’re just clowns! Now, will you listen to me?" Qing Lan sneered coldly.

She wasn’t lying; the Jade Ruler was indeed something Heshan had told her about.

With the Jade Ruler in hand, this was Qing Lan’s true trump card, the real reason she dared to make the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning obey.

"Hen Dao, take this woman down, and I’ll help you rescue the Venerable One!" the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning shouted.

As he spoke, he retreated far away.

The World Supreme also swiftly retreated.

Qing Lan appeared in a fleeting moment, and Hen Dao finally reacted.

He naturally saw that Qing Lan held something restraining the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning and the World Supreme. If these two were indeed subdued by Qing Lan, he would be doomed! This must not happen.

Hen Dao didn’t hesitate, he struck immediately.

His vast twisted energy was overwhelming, and he held a large saber-like Chaos Spiritual Treasure in his hands.

He definitely didn’t dare underestimate Qing Lan, seeing even the unruly Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning scared off by her.

"This Twisted Supreme, his strength matches around two thousand nine hundred and forty something Dao Divine Patterns! Besides, the Dao he comprehends, interestingly, is actually one of the Forbidden Daos?" Xue Yi continued to watch, observing everything happening in the Land of the Forsaken Husk.

Moreover, with her keen eyesight, she could instantly see through Hen Dao’s confidence.

The Forbidden Dao is actually a path not accepted by many rules.

It can be understood as a very powerful path, dreaded by the rules. Therefore, many times, before practitioners of the Forbidden Dao make a breakthrough, their paths are cut off by the rules.

Usually, Hen Dao’s strikes are always shrouded in darkness, revealing little of his cultivated Dao.

Facing Hen Dao’s strike, Qing Lan made no unnecessary moves, nor extravagant displays or treasure auras.

She just stepped forward slowly, then raised the Ruler in her hand and gently brought it down.

"Pa!!!"

A light sound, without any particularity, without stirring any Power of Laws or Origin Power.

No one knew the material of the Ruler, nor what technique Qing Lan used. But, the Ruler directly pierced through the dark twist, through all of Hen Dao’s defenses, and landed squarely on Hen Dao’s head.

"Ah—"

Suddenly, a scream tore through the chaos.

Everyone was stunned!

Seeing the Ruler appear, witnessing the reaction of the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning and the World Supreme, they had high expectations for the Ruler, curious about its unique qualities.

But as Qing Lan struck, everyone couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. Just raise and drop, so simple?

However, Hen Dao’s scream sent a shiver through everyone’s hearts.

This scream came from the Great Commander of the dark twist, the strongest existence among the Twisted Supremes!

He was one of the strongest in the Land of the Forsaken Husk. Why was he so vulnerable after being struck by this Ruler?

Of course, the Supreme realm experts were more puzzled by why Hen Dao was struck by the Ruler in the first place!

"Master, this Ruler looks ordinary; why can it so grievously wound the dark commander?" Xu Ying was very curious.

Xue Yi seemed to recall something and smiled.

"Lu Yang once told me that the Ruler was made from a piece of Chaos Origin Jade. The key to its power is in the fact that it was a tool of the Dao, imbued with the Dao’s charm; naturally, it is extraordinary!"

Xu Ying was left dumbfounded.

Chaos Origin Jade was a rather precious material, rumored to be born from the Chaos Origin itself.

But this kind of jade, even if a Supreme paid a significant price, could be obtained.

Ordinary Chaos Origin Jade naturally didn’t have such great power.

This Ruler’s strong effects were naturally related to the Dao.

"This Ruler holds no laws, and bears no strange powers. If one had to describe it, it would be returning to simplicity."

"When the Jade Ruler strikes, it disregards any laws and origins, ignores any defense mechanisms, and delivers a soul-crushing blow. However, the pain is simply just pain, it doesn’t heavily damage the origin."

"The reason why the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning and the Ancestor of Early Dawn fear it so much is because its influence on them is too menacing."

Xue Yi’s voice paused slightly, her tone turning a bit sorrowful, remembering something melancholic.

In the Land of the Forsaken Husk, Hen Dao’s screams of pain made him lose immense face in front of everyone.

But he realized that while the Ruler caused pain, it didn’t significantly harm his origin.

"Hen Dao, that Ruler can strike only one person at a time, and it doesn’t damage the origin. You go, and I’ll seize the chance to take down Qing Lan!" the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning shouted across the void.

"Why don’t you go?" Hen Dao gritted his teeth; that unbearable pain just now, given another chance, he wouldn’t want to endure it again.

It was too painful.

Pain penetrating deep into the soul, making his very being tremble!

"Ancestor of Early Dawn, Qing Lan has that Ruler of Master in hand. If we don’t deal with her first, there’s no point in our struggle." The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning ignored Hen Dao, acting as though he hadn’t heard Hen Dao’s words, and called out to the World Supreme instead.

"Seize the Ruler first!" the World Supreme said.

The two immediately reached a consensus.

Although the Ruler didn’t harm the origin, it was unstoppable. If it struck suddenly during a fight, causing them to lose their combat ability momentarily, it would be disastrous.

"Hen Dao, make your move now!!!" the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning shouted again.

Hen Dao cursed angrily in his heart.

But no matter how he cursed, Qing Lan still had to be dealt with.

At this moment, Heshan wanted to help Qing Lan, but he refrained from acting rashly.

First, he was afraid of revealing any flaws to the two Ancestors, and even more so, he feared Xue Yi would notice.

The most important reason was that someone had sent a message telling him not to act yet.

Hen Dao struck again, but this time, the twisted aura around him dissipated, and a vast and grand river appeared behind him, visible to all eyes.

Hen Dao had appeared in so many scenes, but his Dao had never manifested.

"Indeed a Forbidden Dao, didn’t expect anyone in the Land of the Forsaken Husk to achieve True Origin Dao." Xue Yi murmured.

The so-called True Origin means as oneself as the origin, able to mimic almost any technique, even mimicking the Dao.

Simply put, it means theft!

For example, the moment Hen Dao’s Dao appeared, its aura suddenly changed.

Void Devouring Dao!

With a step, he vanished into the void.

This scene left countless jaws dropped.

Many practiced the Void Dao among the heavens, considered one of the strongest laws. But if talking about who mastered the Void Dao the best, it had to be the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning!

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning’s Void Devouring Dao was famously fierce, known for devouring anything in existence, even the remains of Dao. This ability earned him top honors.

But now, with Hen Dao’s Void Devouring Dao, it bore striking resemblance to the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning’s, indistinguishable in power and traits.

The perverse quality of True Origin Dao lay in its ability to not only mimic the Dao but also innovate on it. Although the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning’s Void Devouring Dao was excessively esoteric and powerful, Hen Dao mimicking ninety percent of it was already outstanding.

If it were regular Daos, Hen Dao’s imitation could surpass the original multiple, even dozens of times!

Despite Qing Lan’s expression showing a touch of surprise, quickly, she raised the Ruler and brought it down.

"Pa!!!"

No matter what Dao Hen Dao simulated, he couldn’t escape.

Being struck solidly.

Another cry of pain.

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning twitched at his mouth’s corners.

Is Hen Dao an idiot?

He is the master of Void Devouring, even he dared not be too reckless under the Ruler.

Nevertheless, Hen Dao bore the brunt.
