Chapter 1057: Justice
"As the Dharma King, I entered the Celestial Court and re-cultivated the Ghost God Technique, visualizing the Divine Soul of the Rakshasa Evil Ghost. With the Rakshasa Evil Ghost as the facade and the Immortal Laws as the core, I created the Ghost God's Eye. Once the Ghost God's Eye is opened, it can fix the sun, the moon, the stars, and all things between heaven and earth." Shi Yuqing said indifferently to Di Esi: "Although you are also a naturally gifted talent, it is unfortunate that your understanding of the path is still shallow. If you could advance to the Middle rank, perhaps you might have the strength to battle with me."
Having said that, Shi Yuqing no longer paid attention to the immobilized Di Esi and directly walked towards the pile of goods, waving his hand to open up the stacked items, revealing Wei Wufu inside, in a state of stupor, almost as if he were in a semi-comatose state.
Shi Yuqing glanced at Wei Wufu, who was leaning on a crate, half-lying and half-sitting, and did not approach him. Anyone could tell that Wei Wufu's condition was not good.
"It's time for you to set off. Although you all come from different regions of the Ancient Realm, I will help you to fulfill your wishes. With your sacrifice, I can ascend to the higher echelons of the Celestial Court sooner. In this way, you can be said to have died a worthy death." Shi Yuqing said as he reached out his hand, and streams of blue light flowed from his palm, quickly condensing into a Ghost Head Knife, about to walk over and chop off the heads of Lin Shen and the others.
"Stop." A voice sounded from behind Shi Yuqing.
Shi Yuqing turned around to look, only to see Wei Wufu, who was half-dead, struggling to stand up, swaying unsteadily.
Shi Yuqing originally wanted to deal with Wei Wufu last, firstly because he obviously didn't have much fighting ability left, and secondly because he was worried about contracting something from the laboratory. Shi Yuqing couldn't guarantee with absolute certainty that he himself would not be infected.
"You... something's not right..." Although Wei Wufu could barely stand and had a very poor complexion, his eyes became increasingly determined and bright.
Shi Yuqing found this man's words somewhat laughable, yet uncontrollably asked: "What about me is not right?"
"Your... goal... is correct... but... others... shouldn't be..." Wei Wufu said.
"It seems like his brain got damaged during the experiment, he doesn't even possess normal logical speech." Shi Yuqing shook his head and said: "In the future, once I become a high-ranked member of the Celestial Court, or even the Lord of the Celestial Court, these kinds of incidents will not happen again. On the road to success, sacrifices are inevitable. If this is also considered a sin, then let me bear these sins. As long as I achieve my goal, even if my sins are as high as the sky, what of it?"
"You are... wrong..." The light in Wei Wufu's eyes became brighter, and his body also seemed to recover a bit; white particles floated out from within his body and formed into a White Robe enshrouding him.
"Be it right or wrong." Shi Yuqing was too lazy to debate right from wrong with Wei Wufu anymore, gripping the Ghost Head Knife in his hands as terrible Strength gathered on the blade.
Blue light blazed above the Ghost Head Knife, and with one slice, the blue light transformed into the shape of a roaring Fierce Ghost, devouring its way towards Wei Wufu.
Wei Wufu's body swayed, yet his fist swung unrestrained, resolute and unhesitating, with neither delay nor fear.
Lin Shen desperately tried to unleash his Strength in an attempt to break free from the bondage of the Ghost Eye Divine Light, but he was unable to escape for the moment. He could only watch as Wei Wufu's punch—seemingly not very powerful—met the Fierce Ghost unleashed by Shi Yuqing.
In anyone's eyes, what Wei Wufu was doing was akin to seeking death.
But the next second, everyone's faces showed astonishment; Wei Wufu's fist actually shattered the Fierce Ghost-like blade light. His staggeringly unsteady body did not fall, and there wasn't even a sign of retreating.
Watching Wei Wufu, who was staggering forward, Shi Yuqing was somewhat shocked inside.
His slash was already first-rate among the Middle rank Divine Beings, it was truly unexpected that Wei Wufu, whose body was already in such a condition, could shatter his blade light.
Shi Yuqing's expression was somewhat strange. In his region of the Ancient Realm, he was a once in a billion-year genius, with almost no one able to match him.
But the three people he saw today were no less formidable than himself in the past, and in some areas, even he was somewhat astonished.
He did not know from which region of the Ancient Realm these many astonishing talents had emerged.
"It is your fate, and not my fault," Shi Yuqing swung his blade once more, slashing towards the staggering Wei Wufu.
Without any hesitation, Wei Wufu threw his punches, and his seemingly not-so-powerful Fist Power shattered Shi Yuqing's blade light yet again.
The White Robe on Wei Wufu fluttered as he stepped forward, continuously throwing punches, shattering the blade light from Shi Yuqing's slashes time after time.
Lin Shen and Di Esi were both shocked and delighted, not expecting that Wei Wufu, despite being seriously injured, could still unleash such terrifying combat power.
The purple aura around Wei Wufu grew stronger and eventually condensed into a purple mysterious light shadow that enveloped his body.
"Right is right, wrong is wrong, the world is inherently black and white; there is no so-called ambiguity, and justice tolerates no falsehood," Di Esi perceived something significant.
Shi Yuqing also noticed the crux of the matter, and instead of continuing to attack, he looked at Wei Wufu incredulously and muttered to himself: "There are indeed people in this world who can cultivate the Law of Justice!"
The Law of Justice had always been just a legend; no one in the world has ever truly cultivated it. Even those who have achieved some success have only grasped the surface and could never gain the recognition of the Immortal Crown.
Because humans, by nature, cannot achieve absolute justice—they have emotions and desires, the capacity for adaptation, and this alone already cuts off the path of true justice.
Shi Yuqing had only heard that some beings inherently possess the Law of Justice.
This Law was hard to categorize as strong or weak; if the person using it was Nameless or used it for evil, then its power was so small that it could almost be negligible and would not surpass any other Law Power.
However, if the adversary was evil and was struck with a heart of justice, the power that the Law of Justice could unleash might possibly be the strongest force in this world.
Shi Yuqing had always thought it was just a legend, and even within the Celestial Court, he had never heard of anyone who could cultivate the Law of Justice.
But today, upon seeing Wei Wufu, he realized there truly was such an odd Law in this world.
With his crippled body, he was actually able to shatter his Middle-level Strength; the rumors were indeed true, that when faced with wrongdoing, the energy released by the Law of Justice is unimaginably powerful.
Seeing Wei Wufu approaching, Shi Yuqing unexpectedly felt a tinge of fear in his heart.
He had never feared right or wrong, but he knew well enough that what he had done could definitely not be considered good deeds.
This thought was but a fleeting moment, as Shi Yuqing's Divine Soul burst forth with Divine Light again, and the radiance from within his threatening eyes enveloped Wei Wufu too.
Wei Wufu's staggering advance was halted by the Ghost Eye Divine Light, preventing him from taking another step forward.
