Chapter 1240 Unholy laws

"There's a change of plans," Jeffrey said as he furiously flapped his wings through the turbulent winds. Black clouds had covered the entire zone, and the lightning tribulation was only getting bigger and bigger.

Ironically, because of how much energy the clouds were sucking up, the amount of chaos in the zone was not nearly as bad as it should have been. It was as if the excess energy that filled up the zone was being sucked up into the tribulation cloud, stabilizing the place. Though, at the moment, it still looked like the world was ending.

"Instead of catalyzing the eruption of the zone, killing everyone in it, we have to refocus our energies towards eliminating a single, anomalous immortal."

There was no indication of who he was talking to, or if he was using some kind of device, but the stern expression on his face was quite revealing of the kind of response he was getting.

"It's that Lex Williams, Damian's grandkid. He's even more aberrant than the dragon that entered the trial. The dragon was literally forced to its knees." V/\IssịT for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

There was another period of silence, before he spoke again.

"Yes, I think so too. I'll keep him occupied while you..."

The Wyvern suddenly turned mid-flight and looked above himself when he saw the flash of a lightning bolt. Lex was right above him, standing in the air with his hands in his pockets, ignoring the lightning strike as usual.

"Go ahead, finish your call. I'll wait," he said.

Lex grinned. Back on earth, he'd read many books that depicted powerful beings and cultivators who became too powerful, or had lives that were too long, and as a result became depressed, or lost their emotions.

Nothing could stimulate them anymore, and they grew bored with life. But the opposite seemed to be happening with Lex. Not only did he not get bored with his existing life, but his life continued to become so much more interesting the more powerful he became.

The universe was so interesting. The challenges, the secrets, the obstacles it held were all so stimulating. Since Lex could see the fluctuations in the laws, he could understand how bizarrely complex they were, and felt supremely insignificant in front of the vastness of the universe. But that feeling of being small did not demoralize him. Instead, it let him know that there was still so much more to explore. Even if he spent a lifetime trying to understand laws, he could never grasp them completely.

Fortunately, he was immortal now. Until the Nascent realm, the average human cultivator had a lifespan of 500 years. But from the Earth immortal realm onwards, there was no lifespan anymore. He would live until he was killed.

So he could take his time and fully experience everything this world had to offer.

Suddenly feeling invigorated facing the increased threat of the lightning tribulation, Lex stopped holding back - to an extent - and unleashed his aura.

"Come on, old man. Show me more of this realm that I have stepped into. Show me all of your tricks. Just be mindful not to run out of tricks before me, or it might now end well for you."

Lex activated his right eye while looking at the armored wyvern, and suddenly he began to gain a deeper understanding of the law that was infused with his armor. He still wasn't sure what it was exactly, but it was close to something that felt like festering decay. Perhaps there was no one word in the English language that could accurately describe what that law was.

But it was intriguing how a concept could become a law. Lex suddenly felt the urge to try as well, and the grin on his face faded as he reached out deep into the universe and tried to personify the one most unholy of laws that he deeply identified with.

Against the flaming, armored wyvern trying to kill him, Lex unleashed the law of capitalism. He wanted to see what effects this could bring about.
