Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

A crack of light ripped through the sky like a sharp blade, emitting an unsettling aura. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding welling up in their hearts. Having just defeated the incarnation of the "Dominator," their physical and spiritual strength were nearly exhausted, but the strange scene before them clearly wasn't the end of it.

"Ling Yuan, look!" Zhao Shufang whispered, her eyes fixed on the crack of light in the sky, her heart beating rapidly. At the center of that light, some powerful being seemed to be gathering, emitting an undeniable threat.

"I know." Lu Lingyuan's voice was filled with solemnity. He clenched his fists, his eyes no longer relaxed and confident, but filled with vigilance. "We must prepare quickly. The 'Dominator' has not completely disappeared. This rift... is not a natural phenomenon."

"We have to get out of here quickly." Zhao Shufang's eyes flashed with anxiety. She knew the next battle would be more difficult than any before. The aura emanating from the crack before her was absolutely beyond human resistance.

"No." Lu Lingyuan suddenly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "We can't leave. The 'Dominator' is not a simple existence. This crack must be the last link it has set for escape. We dare not let our guard down."

Zhao Shufang bit her lower lip tightly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, we will hold this place."

As she finished speaking, the light in the cracks grew brighter, seemingly gradually condensing into a massive figure. It was a tall, indistinct silhouette, its form distorted like an image, conveying a powerful sense of oppression, as if it could instantly crush any resistance.

"It's coming." Zhao Shufang's voice trembled slightly, her hands unconsciously clenched the talisman, and her face became paler.

"Stay calm." Lu Lingyuan didn't relax at all. He was surrounded by tension, but he still kept a clear mind. "Do you have any talismans prepared?"

"Yes," Zhao Shufang nodded, the talisman in her hand ready, ready to unleash its powerful force at any moment. However, she knew that a talisman alone would not be enough to completely defeat an opponent of this level. An unprecedented pressure rose within her—she knew that today's battle was not just about her own life or death, but about the fate of everyone involved.

Just as she was about to activate the talisman, the blurry figure finally fully materialized, revealing its massive size. Its outline began to become increasingly clear, ultimately revealing a towering figure wearing a golden mask. It was a presence with a ruthless, intimidating expression.

"You will never be able to escape the shackles of fate." The voice was deep and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell. "You have no power to resist everything I have created."

"Are you the true identity of the 'Dominator'?" Zhao Shufang asked calmly. Although her heart was already turbulent, she still tried to remain calm.

"That's right." The voice remained cold and ruthless. "Your resistance will only expedite my annihilation. Your world is destined to be under my control."

"You're wrong." Lu Lingyuan sneered, "Controlling everything doesn't mean you can remain undefeated forever. One day, all the shackles will be broken."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Lingyuan had already rushed forward, his hands radiating a brilliant light as he charged towards the 'Dominator's' true form with devastating force. However, just as he was about to reach the imposing figure, the golden-masked 'Dominator' waved his hand lightly. The surrounding space instantly distorted, the air currents surged, and the light was instantly swallowed, easily neutralizing Lu Lingyuan's attack.

"Your power is meaningless in front of me." The words of the real body of the 'Dominator' were full of sarcasm. It did not make any movement, but it could easily destroy Lu Lingyuan's attack.

Zhao Shufang's heart sank, knowing this battle wouldn't be as simple as she'd imagined. She took a deep breath, stomped her feet, and quickly flew into the air. The talisman transformed into a stream of light, swiftly shooting towards the "Dominator"'s true form. In her hand, the talisman ignited with a dazzling golden light, as if it could tear through all darkness.

"Break!" she shouted, and the talisman instantly exploded with a deafening roar, radiating golden light. However, the 'Dominator' remained calm, effortlessly wielding the black mist in his hand to neutralize the talisman's attack.

"Your efforts are meaningless," the Ruler sneered. "If you can't even control your most basic destiny, how can you defy fate?"

Zhao Shufang felt anxious, knowing she could no longer defeat the enemy with conventional means. She quickly recalled the ancient rune she had found in the mysterious cave, which held the power to break free from the constraints of fate.

She closed her eyes and began to recite the spell in her heart. The energy of the talisman began to boil, and the air around her also changed subtly with her movements.

Seeing this, Lu Lingyuan knew Zhao Shufang's plan and immediately stepped forward. Without hesitation, he put all his remaining spiritual power into the attack, trying to delay the counterattack of the "Dominator".

"Come on!" He shouted, and his five fingers tightened like a bowstring, suddenly releasing a destructive airflow, forcing towards the "Dominator".

The Dominator's true form frowned slightly, seemingly unprepared for the threat posed by Lu Lingyuan's attack. A flicker of anger flashed beneath its golden mask. Yet, it remained motionless, saying coldly, "Your struggle is in vain."

As the words fell, it finally moved, forming a complex hand seal with its hands. In an instant, the black mist swept in again, and the space almost began to collapse.

Zhao Shufang's eyes lit up. The spell was nearing completion. Her body gradually glowed with a dazzling radiance, and the power within the talisman began to awaken. She knew that the battle to decide life and death had quietly begun—this attack would be their last chance.
