Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The entire hall fell into an unspeakable silence. The black-robed figure stood before the stone tablet, his eyes cold and resolute. The air around him seemed frozen, filled with a powerful sense of oppression. The cracks in the stone tablet gradually widened, emitting a black light that engulfed everything around it. Even Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan found it difficult to breathe.

Zhao Shufang was almost unable to move due to the invisible force. Her hands trembled slightly, and her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. "What kind of power is this? We can't resist it at all!"

Lu Lingyuan also felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, but his eyes remained firm. Although everything seemed to be heading towards an inevitable end, he did not give up: "No matter what force it is, we will always find a way to stop it. Believe me, Zhao Shufang."

Zhao Shufang didn't respond, but she knew Lu Lingyuan was right. No matter what the future held, she couldn't give up. They had come this far and gone through so much hardship that they couldn't give up at this moment.

"You are still so naive." The black-robed man's voice came again, his cold tone tinged with obvious sarcasm. "Do you think you two can change fate? This is not determined by your own strength alone. Once the power of 'Dawnbreak Land' awakens, any resistance will be futile."

Zhao Shufang clenched her teeth. She felt the space around her becoming increasingly oppressive, almost suffocating. She closed her eyes slightly and silently recited Taoist scriptures in her mind, trying to concentrate and find a breakthrough.

"What you've touched is only the surface of power," the black-robed man continued, "but the true power comes from the arrangements of the 'Master,' and is far beyond the comprehension of mortals like you."

Lu Lingyuan sneered: "I don't need to understand. I only know that your plan was doomed to fail from the beginning."

Zhao Shufang suddenly opened her eyes, a glint of determination flashing in them. She stared at the man in black robes and whispered, "You're right. The Overlord's plan may have been laid out for a long time, but you're wrong about one thing—you underestimated our resolve to resist."

The black-robed man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had not expected Zhao Shufang to say that. At this moment, Zhao Shufang quickly crossed her hands and began to draw a talisman. The light of the talisman instantly condensed, emitting a powerful aura, and shot towards the black-robed man.

"Is this it again?" The man in black robe sneered and raised his hand to block in front of him. A black energy wave burst out from his hand and greeted Zhao Shufang's talisman.

"You're wrong." Zhao Shufang's eyes were firm as she whispered, "The laws of nature prevail. Those who go against them will surely fail. The talisman, the power of reincarnation!"

Just when the talisman was about to collide with the energy of the black-robed man, suddenly an unprecedented powerful energy burst out from the stone tablet. The energy of the black-robed man was suppressed in an instant, and the light of the talisman broke through the black barrier and rushed straight towards the black-robed man.

"What?" The black-robed man growled in surprise and waved his black staff hastily, trying to resist. But the power of the spell at that moment was beyond his imagination. The spell struck him hard in the chest, pushing him aside.

"What...what is this?" A hint of shock flashed in the black-robed man's eyes. He looked down at his chest and found that the force of the blow made him unable to fully resist, and even caused severe internal injuries.

Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan both breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that this attack wasn't enough to completely destroy the black-robed man, but at least it temporarily repelled him. Zhao Shufang took a quick breath, her eyes still fixed.

Lu Lingyuan's eyes widened as he whispered, "That's... that's the talisman for the 'Power of Reincarnation'? You can actually master this?"

Zhao Shufang nodded slightly. "Yes, I've never used this spell before, but now is the time. The 'Power of Reincarnation' can temporarily reverse fate and change the flow of time and space, but this power is also very strong, and there is a price to pay after using it."

"Pay the price?" Lu Lingyuan's heart tightened when he heard this. "Are you sure this won't endanger your life?"

Zhao Shufang didn't answer immediately, but instead looked intently at the black-robed figure. She knew that the only way to break through the situation was to continually challenge the black-robed figure's power.

"You..." The black-robed man cursed softly, suppressing his injuries as he slowly stood up. Anger and disbelief intertwined in his eyes. "Do you really think this can stop the Overlord's plan?"

Zhao Shufang smiled coldly, without any fear on her face. "Who is this 'Dominator' you're talking about? If he's really that powerful, why was I able to defeat you?"

The black-robed man took a deep breath, regaining some composure. A glint of conspiracy flashed in his deep eyes. "You only know the power before you, but have never seen the true face of the 'Dominator.' You think you can destroy it all, but you are not qualified."

Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination. Although the black-robed man's words were full of threats, they never believed that their fate could be controlled by a single person or force.

"You're wrong." Zhao Shufang's voice became more resolute. "Destiny should never be controlled by anyone. Today, your plan ends here."

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Shufang once again gathered a spell. This time, she poured all her energy into it, and the spell's light became even brighter. She knew that this strike would determine everyone's future.
