Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The talismanic energy within Zhao Shufang intensified, and the space around her seemed to tremble slightly, as if the entire world was preparing for the impending battle. She silently chanted an incantation, and mysterious runes began to flow through her fingertips. Golden light and spiritual energy intertwined, illuminating the void around her.

Lu Lingyuan stood beside her, his eyes fixed on the Dominator's every move. He knew that if Zhao Shufang succeeded, the Dominator would be unable to continue his reckless behavior; but if he failed, they might pay an unbearable price.

"Zhao Shufang, hurry up!" Lu Lingyuan's voice was a little anxious, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. "If we delay any longer, our chances will get smaller and smaller!"

Zhao Shufang took a deep breath and concentrated her mind on the talisman in her hand. She felt the powerful energy within it, as if each rune contained endless wisdom and power, and this power was flowing through her body, ready to break free from the constraints of fate and reach the foundation of the "Dominator".

"I know." She responded in a low voice, and the talisman in her hand flashed with an increasingly dazzling light, almost illuminating the entire space.

However, at this moment, the tall, ruthless figure, the true form of the 'Dominator,' finally took action. Its black mask shone coldly in the air, and it stared at Zhao Shufang expressionlessly.

"You think you can shake me with just this low-level talisman?" The 'Dominator's' voice was filled with disdain and contempt, as if he had no interest in explaining. "Your struggle has long been predetermined."

Before the words were out, it extended a bony hand and waved it gently. The air instantly twisted, and a pitch-black mist emerged, like an all-consuming black hole, rushing straight towards Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan.

"Open it!" Lu Lingyuan growled, waving his hands violently. Several brilliant rays of light burst forth from his body, rapidly dispersing the surrounding black fog. However, the aura of the 'Dominator' remained as heavy as a mountain, unable to be completely shaken.

"Ling Yuan, retreat quickly!" Zhao Shufang suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she quickly shouted at him.

"What do you mean?" Lu Lingyuan was stunned. Before he could react, Zhao Shufang flew up like lightning, and the energy of the talisman in her hand exploded instantly.

"Cut off everything!" Zhao Shufang shouted, and the golden light of the talisman suddenly became more dazzling, like thunder shaking the four directions. The strong light tore through the surrounding black fog and pointed directly at the true body of the "ruler".

However, the "Dominator" still sneered, and once again made a complicated hand seal with his hands. Then, a black light shot up from its body and instantly collided head-on with Zhao Shufang's talisman.

"boom--"

A tremendous roar shook the heavens and earth, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, and the strong airflow blew everything to and fro. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan were thrown backward by the impact and fell heavily to the ground, with a sharp pain in their chests.

"No... I didn't expect it to be so powerful..." Zhao Shufang coughed and barely stood up. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained firm. "It's not an ordinary 'Dominator'. My previous talisman could only break the surface, not penetrate its core."

Lu Lingyuan also stood up with difficulty, his eyes flashing with anger: "What should we do? We don't have much time. If we continue, we will all die!"

Zhao Shufang took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "No, we can't die. This is our only chance."

Her voice gradually deepened, but it was filled with a shocking confidence: "I know what to do."

"What are you going to do?" Lu Lingyuan looked confused, but he also knew that at this time, Zhao Shufang's judgment must be more important than anyone else's.

"The Ruler's true form is hidden somewhere deep within this space. Its power doesn't come from itself, but from the rules and destiny of this world," Zhao Shufang said slowly. "If we can sever its connection to this space, its power will vanish."

"Break the connection between spaces?" Lu Lingyuan frowned slightly. "This... is too difficult, almost impossible."

"Precisely because it's difficult, we need to work together." Zhao Shufang's eyes became incomparably determined. "Do you remember what I said before? 'Destiny can be rewritten.' I wasn't just saying this to you, I was saying this to myself as well."

She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I will do my best to break its connection with this space. You need to help me create an opportunity to fight back."

Lu Lingyuan was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Okay, I will cooperate with you."

"Thank you." Zhao Shufang smiled slightly, then turned around to face the still cold and ruthless true body of the 'Dominator', and an unprecedented power ignited in her heart.

Beneath the golden mask of the Overlord, it seemed to sense the changes in the two men. It slowly raised a hand, its fingers trembling slightly, and a thick black mist filled the air once again. As if with a conscious mind, the mist continuously eroded everything around it.

"Your resistance is doomed to failure." Its voice grew even colder. "Since you are so stubborn and steadfast, I will personally end your fate."

However, Zhao Shufang did not retreat. There was a determination glint in her eyes. She spread her hands again, and the power of the talisman instantly gathered at her fingertips, shining with a dazzling light.

"Break it for me!" Zhao Shufang shouted softly, and the talisman in her hand fell like a star, with an extremely powerful momentum, pointing directly at the body of the "Ruler".

Seeing her actions, Lu Lingyuan's heart trembled, knowing that this was a life-or-death moment. He took a deep breath, then pulled out a mysterious black orb from his bosom and flung it into the air.

The orb flew into the air, instantly emitting a strong energy wave, like a sharp blade tearing through space, cutting the black fog into countless pieces.

"This is the 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' I got from the ancient ruins. It can temporarily break the restrictions of this space." Lu Lingyuan's voice was filled with a hint of urgency. "Now, using this crack, we can destroy the foundation of the 'Dominator'!"

A glint flashed in Zhao Shufang's eyes, knowing this was their only chance to strike back. With a fierce wave of her hand, the talisman transformed into a beam of light, hurtling straight towards the 'Dominator''s' form.

"Fate can finally be broken!" She whispered, and the power of the talisman and the boundary-breaking bead intertwined in the air, forming an unprecedented power that went straight to the core of the 'ruler'.
