Chapter 1054: Returning

The Judgment Proxies were the candidates appointed by the five great domains to execute the Wuji Lord, Lou Yu.

At the time, humanity had no Demi-God level combat power to utilize; the Eighth Rank was the ceiling they could dispatch. Even though the Human Domain knew Lou Yu was in a state of inability to resist, they still provided insurance for these five Judgment Proxies...

And this insurance was the four corresponding Dao Foundation Secret Treasures.

Dao Foundation Secret Treasures were modified based on the God Path Dao Foundations, which were usually located in the deepest parts of the God Path Ancient Vaults, making them extremely difficult to obtain. Therefore, for the five great domains, these were absolute strategic resources. Distributing the four secret treasures to the four Judgment Proxies was enough to make them comparable to Demi-Gods in the short term.

Hong Xiu didn't have a Dao Foundation Secret Treasure because the Soldier Path Ancient Vault had already been surrounded by the Forbidden Sea at the time, and they couldn't enter to retrieve the Soldier God Path Dao Foundation. However, Hong Xiu’s own combat power was superb; even without a secret treasure, she could still exert Demi-God level combat power.

"The Silver King has returned the Dao Foundation Secret Treasures to the Judgment Proxies..." Ning Ruyu guessed what had happened, his expression growing solemn.

"This is trouble."

The Silver King was suspicious by nature and accustomed to keeping everything that threatened him in his own hands. The Eighth Rank of the Thief God Path was like this, and the Judgment Proxies’ secret treasures were the same... Now that he had voluntarily returned them, it meant he had reached the point where he had to fight to the death. This might be his final counterattack.

A dying beast is the most terrifying; no one knew what the Silver King would do at this stage.

The butcher held the boning knife, his tall figure slowly standing up on the ruins. He rotated the boning knife, tip pointing up, hilt pointing down.

The next moment, the gravity Ning Ruyu was experiencing seemed to invert. He was suddenly pulled from the ground toward the sky, and the gravity he suffered was dozens of times that of Earth. Like a rocket launching, he vanished from sight in an instant.

……

"Dao Foundation Secret Treasure?"

Mo Jiao saw that flash of white light mixed with a scroll suddenly drifting toward the Book God Path in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

He reacted extremely quickly, rushing forward hundreds of meters in one step, reaching out with the Book God Path to grab the scroll, seemingly wanting to snatch it before the other could... But unexpectedly, the Book God Path waved a hand, and the scroll deflected in mid-air, drifting automatically toward him.

Seeing this, Mo Jiao landed steadily on the ground, frowning as he looked at the other’s hand...

Grabbing the scroll, the Book God Path didn't hesitate to remove its casing, unfolding it with both hands to reveal a crooked piece of calligraphy exposed to the air!

—[Prison].

The Book God Path Dao Foundation Secret Treasure, the character [Prison].

Mo Jiao blinked, and the [Prison] character had already vanished, as if it had come to life and escaped the scroll to the outside world... At the same time, an identical [Prison] character began to emerge on his forehead.

Mo Jiao’s body seemed to be restrained by some force, maintaining his fighting stance, completely frozen in place.

"Your ability is quite wonderful. If I were to kill you here, I fear your soul would just enter the next clone... However, as long as the [Prison] character remains, there is nothing you can do."

The Book God Path slowly put away the scroll and stepped forward.

"Stay here and witness this domain and your people perish together..."

The crooked [Prison] character drawn on Mo Jiao’s forehead seemed to freeze his soul and body together. Although he still had consciousness and could think, he could do nothing.

Hum-hum-hum—

A low rumble came from underground.

The earth seemed to have a heartbeat, constantly bulging, tearing the brick streets of the Wuji Domain into pieces. The ground beneath Mo Jiao’s feet cracked, and vines full of vitality extended from deep underground...

Seeing this, Mo Jiao seemed to realize something, his eyes turning with difficulty to look in a certain direction not far away.

There, a figure dressed as a farmer was driving a terrifying vine beast, rising into the sky from among the many buildings!

It wasn't just the ground beneath the farmer and Mo Jiao; at this moment, half of the Wuji Domain underground had been occupied by vines, as if some special plant had been endowed with super-reproductive characteristics, causing a disaster-level threat in a short time.

Deep within the vine beast beneath his feet, a figure in theatrical robes with a painted face was locked in the deepest part by endless vines, constantly charging out, only to be submerged by more vines again and again...

And on the other side of the city, endless threads occupied the streets, and Luan Mei’s figure also seemed to be bound by spiderwebs, trapped within.

Those Dao Foundation Secret Treasures originally used to deal with the Wuji Lord were all triggered one after another, allowing the Judgment Proxies to burst out with extremely strong abilities in a short time, actually suppressing the brothers of the Opera Path Ancient Vault simultaneously...

"The Dao Foundation Secret Treasures cannot control these four for long." Tian Huai said in a deep voice. "We must hurry..."

The Eighth Rank Book God Path walked over from afar and replied calmly, "Besides these four, the other Twilight Society members are easy to deal with, not to mention we have dirty bombs... It’s just that setting them up takes time."

"Do you really want to use that thing on our own turf?" The farmer picked his ear. "Those things are heinous. Once used, this land won't be able to grow anything for a hundred years... What a pity."

"Now is not the time to discuss farming."

The butcher held the boning knife, descending upside down from the sky, having already sent Ning Ruyu who knows where. "Only by killing all these people can we usher in true 'peace'..."

The four Judgment Proxies faced four directions, looking down at the chaotic battlefield below, their Eighth Rank auras erupting!!

The enemies who had been holding them back were now restricted by the secret treasures.

Next, they would take over the battlefield.

……

Clust—

A flame erupted from a lighter, and after lighting a cigarette, it was snapped shut with a click. Spade 8 stood among the corpses of the Fire-Tamperers, as if sensing something, and looked up at the four figures under the distant sky.

He took a deep breath, the orange flame quickly consuming the cigarette, and thick smoke was exhaled from his nose and mouth. He said in a deep voice:

"How were these four guys released... Did something happen on [K]'s side?"

"Wait a second, let me calculate." Heart 7, Jin Fugui, squatted to the side, shook three copper coins in a broken bowl, then scattered them casually in front of him. He stared at the divination for a long time and muttered:

"These bastards are cheating, they even brought out Dao Foundation Secret Treasures?"

"...Does this even need calculating?" Diamond 10 pointed to the thick vines emerging from the fissure nearby. "Things like this are clearly from the Yellow Path Ancient Vault. If left unchecked, they could swallow the plants and water sources of an entire domain in a day."
