After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

The restrictions on the secret chamber of the city lord's mansion were still slightly hot. Qin He's fingertips swept across the void in front of him, and as the golden and black patterns on his palm flowed, he swept all the fire-attribute spiritual materials, array jade talismans, and the bull-riding statue stored in the mansion into the space in his palm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he blurred into an extremely faint afterimage, skimming the ground as he left the City Lord's Mansion and headed straight for the Northern Continent.

It's better to leave early than late.

The Divine Court's spying has already shown signs. Rather than waiting to die, we might as well try our luck in Black Wind Abyss.

If we can find the Devouring Heaven and Earth Flame and upgrade the Lotus Flame to another level, we will have more confidence even if we encounter the main god's avatar.

The wind whistled past my ears, and the mountains and forests along the way rushed past.

Qin He quietly spread out the power of the laws around him, suppressing his aura to the extreme, like an invisible wind, silently traversing between heaven and earth.

However, just two hundred miles away from Ziyang City, a powerful pressure suddenly came from behind him.

The oppressive aura arrived without warning, like a plunge into an abyss, instantly locking onto his figure.

Qin He suddenly stopped in his tracks. Before he could turn around and see the figure behind him, the sky above him suddenly darkened.

The ordinary clouds transformed into pure gold in an instant, like gold smelted by a raging fire, tumbling and gathering into a giant golden bowl that was then turned upside down.

"Om~"

The moment the golden bowl landed, it emitted a resounding hum that shook the heavens and the earth.

On the bowl's surface, countless fine merit runes flowed, forming an invisible barrier that instantly isolated the view and perception of those inside and outside.

Qin He looked up and saw that the golden bowl's walls were like an insurmountable chasm, completely severing this world from the outside world. He could clearly feel that the true demonic energy around him was slightly restless, as if it were being suppressed by some kind of force.

"It's a divine restriction on merit!"

The black demon banner hidden in his sleeve trembled violently, and Long Qingyun's tone was full of fear, "A treasure that the Divine Court uses specifically to trap those who privately accumulate merit!"

"This thing is a method of internal defense and external protection, and it has a natural restraining effect on merit and mental power."

Once trapped, unless you can shatter the bowl's walls, escape is impossible. The Divine Court only equips Saint-level experts in the Merit Department with this!

Saint-level powerhouse.

A flash of gold and black lines appeared in Qin He's eyes, and his aura suddenly subsided as he slowly turned around.

Two dazzling rainbows pierced through the golden bowl and landed steadily about ten feet in front of him.

The leader was dressed in a gilded official robe with flowing merit runes embroidered on the hem. He was surrounded by a faint golden light, his face was solemn, and his eyes were sharp as knives.

Behind him followed a cultivator in a green robe, whose aura was equally deep and composed; he was clearly his assistant.

"Wei Canglan, Deputy Envoy of the Merit and Virtue Department."

The man in the gilded official robe spoke, his voice resonating with the power of law, his gaze locking onto Qin He like that of a hawk, "Who are you? How dare you impersonate the Purple Sun Venerable, privately gather merit, and disrupt the order of the Divine Court!"

Qin He's lips curled into a cold smile, making no attempt to conceal the demonic aura emanating from him: "Gathering merit privately? It's laughable to hear such words coming from your Divine Court."

“Master Ziyang preys on the villagers and kills innocent people indiscriminately. I, the immortal, act on behalf of Heaven and bind him. What’s wrong with borrowing his territory for a bit of fun?” He raised his eyes and swept them over Wei Canglan, his tone carrying undisguised provocation. “If you’re not satisfied, feel free to come and fight.”

"Insolence!" The green-robed cultivator behind Wei Canglan roared, his spiritual power surging, but Wei Canglan raised his hand to stop him.

Wei Canglan's eyes grew increasingly cold, and the golden light around him gradually solidified: "Evil and heretical, yet you dare to claim to act on behalf of Heaven? Venerable Ziyang is a registered Earth God of the Divine Court. Even if he is guilty, he should be dealt with by the Divine Court. You have detained him without authorization and amassed merits, which has violated the Heavenly Laws of the Divine Court!"

"Today, I will show you the majesty of the Divine Court!"

Before he finished speaking, the golden light around Wei Canglan suddenly surged, and countless merit runes poured out from his official robe, converging into a golden body that was ten feet tall.

The golden body's face was exactly the same as Wei Canglan's, and its body was surrounded by a vast amount of merit power. Every inch of its skin was covered with golden law patterns, and every move it made caused the merit laws of heaven and earth to violently fluctuate.

Qin He's pupils contracted slightly, and he was secretly alarmed.

What immense power of merit!

The aura emanating from this golden statue of merit was far stronger than that of the Divine Punishment Division cultivators he had encountered before.

Clearly, the Merit Department, being in a position of power, had the advantage of being close to the source. Wei Canglan, having been immersed in the power of merit for many years, had mastered this power to a high degree.

"Looks like we've met a tough opponent." Qin He muttered to himself, but the golden and black laws around him were not weak at all. The true demonic energy and the merit light membrane quietly intertwined, forming a strange two-colored light shield on his body.

"Death!"

With a low shout, Wei Canglan's ten-zhang-tall golden body of merit suddenly raised its hand, its golden palm carrying a vast amount of merit law, and slammed down towards Qin He.

Before the palm strike even arrived, a terrifying sense of oppression descended. The space within the golden bowl distorted violently, the rocks on the ground crumbled inch by inch, and countless tiny cracks of law appeared in the void.

Qin He dared not be negligent. The lotus fire intertwined with crimson and blue in his palm suddenly surged, and the laws of life and death flowed wildly, transforming into a fire lotus blade tens of feet long, which slashed towards the golden palm.

"boom!"

The moment the Fire Lotus Blade collided with the golden palm, a deafening roar reverberated throughout the entire golden bowl.

The power of the laws of crimson, blue, and gold intertwined wildly, forming a massive energy shockwave that spread outwards.

The runes on the golden bowl's surface flickered violently, steadily blocking the impact of the shockwave. However, the space inside the bowl was thrown into chaos, with spiritual energy, demonic energy, and merit power colliding and emitting a hissing sound.

Qin He felt a surge of immense power flowing through the Fire Lotus Blade, causing his arm to go slightly numb and his body to involuntarily take two steps back.

The golden statue of merit remained motionless, its golden hand still hovering steadily in mid-air, except for a faint red-blue fire mark on its palm, which was instantly repaired by the power of merit.

Wei Canglan's eyes narrowed: "To withstand an attack from me without retreating, you demon have some skill. Moreover, you are not afraid of the power of merit, but instead have gathered a massive amount of merit. Your schemes are not small! Unfortunately, before my Merit Department, any evil magic is vain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Body of Merit raised its hand again. This time, a golden law rune condensed in its palm. As the rune flowed, it emitted a terrifying pressure.

A cold glint flashed in Qin He's eyes, and all the golden and black laws around him erupted. The true demonic energy and the merit light membrane completely merged, transforming into a two-colored pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth, facing the golden body of merit from afar.

The air inside the golden bowl instantly solidified to its extreme.
