Chapter 1907  --- Judgement


    Those on the outside felt a cold shiver run through them. They had heard of this man''s evil, but this was the first time that they were truly seeing it for themselves.


    Even for those that had been personal witnesses to things from back then, Silent Quibus had never gone so "mask off" before any one of them.


    The main issue, and the crux of the matter that they had only just grasped, was the fact that Ryu had truly already brought Silent Quibus to the brink. He was entirely unable to defeat Ryu unless he brought out his most disgusting means, and if he was going to do so, then he might as well go to the greatest extreme.


    The aura of a Lower Founding Dao radiated out and it made many of them begin to choke, and many more were made to vomit.


    The aura of this Founding Dao was too disgusting and it revealed even to the most insensitive people just what kind of grotesque being Silent Quibus was. A person like him shouldn''t be allowed a good ending.


    ...


    Ryu still didn''t respond, but this only made Silent Quibus'' laughter more eerie and grating to the ears. It was as though he preferred if Ryu remained exactly like this. The more arrogant he was, the better.


    Slowly, Ryu''s [Heavenly Dao Tree] began to vanish. The result was that more and more of Silent Quibus'' corpse puppets rushed forward, closing the gap on Ryu.


    All the while, they had been stopped by Ryu''s Visualization only for this sudden change to catch even Silent Quibus off guard. Men like Ryu certainly wouldn''t give up so easily, but when he looked into Ryu''s eyes...


    Silent Quibus felt a shudder.


    There was no more rage, no flickering flame, there was just a deadpan gaze.


    Ryu had a method of killing Silent Quibus in a single strike. This projection of a Transcended wouldn''t be able to withstand even a single pulse of his Shrine copy.


    However, that wasn''t nearly enough. Not only was it not satisfying in the least, but it also wouldn''t leave the mark he wanted to be left.


    Just as slowly as his [Heavenly Dao Tree] was fading, a new phenomenon was beginning to manifest.


    Ryu''s Birthed Phenomena took the shape of his body, towering into the skies even taller than the looming shadow behind Silent Quibus.


    The wheezing needles of gold were quickly coalescing into a formation of great swordstaffs in the skies, but as they gathered from the Light Qi in the surroundings, every enemy of Ryu suffered. Even the likes of Silent Quibus and the zombie he had just manifested from his eerie shadow were suddenly riddled with injuries.


    "[Lines of Fate]..."


    The surge of Light Qi accelerated and suddenly shaped nine beautiful great swordstaffs in the air. They still seemed illusory for the most part, but space cracked like black lightning around them, shattering the laws of the world.


    Countless bundles of black, white, and grey lines manifested in Ryu''s vision.


    Silent Quibus began to shudder, feeling a great danger.


    ...


    At that same moment, his real body, in an unknown location, startled awake, crawling out of a vat of blood and looking around.


    His real body''s vision sharpened as he pierced through the veil of reality, rushing toward the location of the danger, but he still couldn''t understand.


    "Dammit! Dammit! Where is it?!"


    ...


    Ryu exhaled a breath, but it came out as a fog of evaporated blood. One could only imagine the situation inside his body if his coughed-up blood was in such a state.


    "[Rob the World of its Color]."


    The nine beautiful golden swordstaffs trembled and suddenly became blades of black and white.


    "[— Judgement]."


    The first word of Ryu''s technique seemed obscured by the Heavenly Laws, but the second sounded loud and clear.


    All nine blades descended at once, and before Silent Quibus could even understand what was happening, he began screaming.
