An explosion of sheer force rocked the dark, cold space. The Rule Soul Avatar braced himself as countless blade shadows flashed and flickered in front of him.
Before he could even realize it, the Blade Devil had turned into a blade and rushed towards him.
The Rule Soul Avatar didn't understand what had happened. The Blade Devil knew that he was a rule cultivator. There was no way he could inherit his blade cultivation. And yet, why was he doing this?
The Rule Soul Avatar couldn't help but cry out in pain as his body was filled with blade intents. It was too much for his body to handle.
It was a good thing that he had activated the Resurrection Force beforehand. It was the only thing that kept him from exploding from the sheer pressure of the blade intents.
Then, a black bead spun erratically in midair. It shot straight into his heart as soon as he felt like his body was returning to normal.
It was painful at first, but when it burrowed deeper into his heart, he realized that the pain eased off a bit.
Nonetheless, he still didn't know what the bead was for. This made it even more difficult to understand the inheritance.
Since he didn't know anything about the black bead, he decided to ignore it for now. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and activated his silver eyes. He then observed the law system in the abyss so that he could properly prepare himself.
Three years passed.
The Rule Soul Avatar had come here to avoid the Immortal Lord. He had no other intentions but to grow stronger and continue living. Thus, he didn't mind staying in this cave as long as it kept him safe. He would only venture out when he felt confident he could handle the creatures in the abyss.
However, something unexpected happened in the fourth year of his stay in the cave.
It woke him up in his meditation, and he immediately cast his god's sense out to check out the commotion. It was then that he saw several skeletal creatures with swords made out of bones in their hands.
Their eyes twinkled in the darkness as they looked around the cave.
A moment later, they suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a low roar in their wake.
The Rule Soul Avatar immediately stood up upon sensing danger.
And sure enough, a claw appeared out of the darkness and lashed out at him. Fortunately, he was able to put up a shield to def
ne of the figures hissed.
The creature in front of him had green, frog-like skin. His muscles bugled out of his skin as if they were on the verge of exploding.
Their eyes, too, were huge and round. It popped out of their sockets. Their mouths were like a wide slash across their face. It looked like a gaping wound. And when they grinned, they showed rows and rows of sharp teeth. It didn't help that there was also a vile, slimy liquid dribbling out of their mouths.
"Fuck off," the Rule Soul Avatar said coldly.
"Do you really want to save that human girl?" The frog creature stared at him with disdain.
In truth, the Rule Soul Avatar had no intentions of saving anyone at all.
"Hey! This young man is mine!" someone shouted.
Suddenly, the whole valley became restless when a gigantic frog creature that reached over a hundred feet in height landed in front of the Rule Soul Avatar.
The Rule Soul Avatar couldn't stop his eyebrows from moving up slightly at the frog creature's entrance. He could already tell that this frog creature was very powerful.
Without looking back, he flew away.
He immediately made his quick escape.
This reaction caught the frog creatures off guard. They had always found humans extremely stupid for willingly sacrificing their lives to save other human beings.
But this young man was different from the others. He had run away instead.
"Chase him!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon the powerful frog creature's orders, the rest ran after the Rule Soul Avatar. It seemed like that frog creature was their king.
