The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Grug!" The vortex the emperor created was crushed into pieces and it affected him, making him spat a mouthful of blood. However, his composure wasn't shaken and released several more powerful ones. This time, each carried the power of million of worlds.

"Down!" The emperor signaled the vortexes once again.

"You aren't learning your lesson, are you?" Jin Rou moved the time and space once again to control the trajectories of the vortexes. Then, Jin Rou and the emperor suddenly swapped places which the emperor was stupefied.

"What?" The emperor knew that Jin Rou was trying to change the vortextes' trajectories. Why would it be him that has been changed?

"Open!" But he didn't have the time to think of it. He immediately summoned a large dragon gate and it acted as the defense formation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The vortexes attacked the dragon gate and it made the entire space shook in a horrifying manner. It was very catastrophic, as everything was about to become rubbles here. Fortunately, the elders hiding were able to protect the things here or else it would turn into nothingness once again.

"Activate!" The emperor used his treasure palace and opened it. Next, a white stone appeared from it as if it was a pearl from the sea.

Jin Rou observed this stone and knew right away that it was an archaic and powerful item of the past eons. Maybe the first one, or the second one.

"Down!" The emperor activated the white stone and it blindly brightened the all over the places of the courtyard. Then, billions of light particles made of thorns appeared out of it. One look and you could see that it was terrifying and powerful.

Jin Rou tried to move the space in the vicinity of the thorns, but it was more troublesome that he thought. That stone might be the real deal that the emperor was hiding.

"I didn't plan to use this since it has a limited use." The emperor said with a tinge of regret, "Unfortunately, the time is asking me to. So don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I don't mind." Jin Rou smiled and said, "After all, it isn't enough to defeat me. And I hope you know that."

"Of course, I know it." The emperor laughed a bit, "Do you think I'll be here unprepared?"

Then, he got a small golden bottle from his space inventory. It looked normal but Jin Rou knew it wasn't. He observed the bottle and the truth behind it was shocking that he widened his eyes.

"A legacy of a universal law?" Jin Rou had seen and experienced it already, so he couldn't be wrong with this. He was sure that it was the blood of a universal law.

"As expected of a universal law, you can even see it through." The emperor smiled, "That's right, this is the legacy of a universal law that should have been for my second son. Unfortunately, a bastard of an enemy make him and his first brother kill each other."

Jin Rou was listening to his rant and pretty much didn't care about it. He was more about how could this emperor have a legacy of a law? Did the imperial family also have a guardian of this level? But Jin Rou had done many research and background checks already, and he didn't find anything like this.

"This legacy isn't compatible with me. But it perfectly fits my second son. If my plans went smoothly, he is now an emperor with the power of the universal law. That's pretty great, right?" The emperor said, filled with pride, "In fact, even my first son can inherit this without any problems. But he can't explode his maximum potential of being a law so my second son is the perfect choice."

"So no matter if your eldest son wins, you're going to crown the second son one way or another." Jin Rou smirked, "Isn't it that pretty unfair?"

"There is no unfair in this world. The world of the jungle has always been like this, so you can't say that I have been unfair." The emperor caressed the bottle, "But now that they are dead, I have no choice but to use this, you see."

Then, the emperor opened the bottle and immediately drank it without hesitation.

Jin Rou didn't expect that the emperor was this maniac. He knew that once you are incompatible with a law's legacy, you can't take it or else you'll die. The emperor was aware of this, but because of him, Jin Rou, he was willing to bet his life.

"Suicidal." Jin Rou couldn't help but comment. He could feel the rapid changes happening from the emperor's body and he wanted to stop him from getting anything, "One way or another, you're going to die here. So why resist?"

Jin Rou tried to attack but he couldn't get past through the billions of light thorns around him. It looked like it served as a defensive formation for the emperor that's why he summoned it.

Thus, Jin Rou had no choice but to let the emperor do his thing. Anyway, the outcome wouldn't change so he would want to see how this emperor struggle until the end.

"Ahhh!" The emperor was shouting nonstop because of the pain he was suffering from. The rejection of the blood was taking effect now and wanted to destroy his body. The power of the blood was horrifying that the skin of the emperor turned red to black.

Nevertheless, the emperor wasn't willing to give up. He was already here, he couldn't afford to. Or else, everything would be in vain. He already had lost almost all of his family, he needed to succeed here no matter what!

The blood was still churning up his insides as if it was angered that a like of him was daring to have its power. Universal laws were prideful bunch, and even though they were already dead, their traits remained.

It was the first time that the emperor suffered from a pain like this. He felt that anytime, he could die.
