CHAPTER 1223 TAKING OVER THE CAVE

The Rule Soul Avatar stepped forward and prepared to breach the cave.

The aura of the warrior at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm increased in intensity, but it still

didn't stop the Rule Soul Avatar.

On the other hand, Jenifer became very nervous as the aura in the cave frightened her.

"Stop right now! If you fail to expel him, you'll be banished. What's more, with your cultivation base, you

can be struck to death merely by his god's sense. Why do you still want to do this?"

"If I don't drive him out and he doesn't fight me after I enter, can I stay in the cave with him? Or will I still

have the chance to claim another cave?" the Rule Soul Avatar asked.

"No, I don't think so. Each cave can only have one owner. And even if you leave the cave safely, you

wouldn't get another chance to choose," Jenifer said.

The Rule Soul Avatar stopped and seemed to think about something. Judging from his expression, it

wasn't fear of the cave owner that had forced him to discontinue.

A few moments later, he turned and flew in another direction.

"That's right," Jenifer sighed as the anxiety coursing through her lessened.

Waves of relief also washed over the powerful warriors when they saw him leaving.

After flying for some distance, the Rule Soul Avatar stopped in front of another cave. He effected his

silver eyes to observe the situation inside.

Based on the fluctuations of god's power in the cave, he was able to estimate the cave owner's

strength.

'A martial artist at the top-level of the Star God Realm.'

The Rule Soul Avatar immediately simulated a battle with the owner in his mind to calculate his odds of

survival.

Since they were relatively evenly matched, he estimated that both he and the cave owner would be

severely injured during the battle. However, if the cave owner possessed a strong hidden skill, it was

very likely that the Rule Soul Avatar would lose.

Therefore, to avoid such an outcome, the Rule Soul Avatar turned and left. As the first two caves were

unfavorable options, he approached the third cave.

From what he had detected earlier, these three caves were the most suitable for him to invade.

In the third cave, he sensed the presence of a man who was at the low-level of the Celestial God

Realm. But, he seemed to be seriously injured. What was more, his real combat power had been

significantly reduced as well. Given these variables, the Rule Soul Avatar was unsure of how much

strength this cave owner had left.

"Get out of my cave!"

When the cave owner sensed that someone was spying on the cave, he roared and released a strong

killing intent.

"Mr. Chu, this person's realm is a bit higher than mine. With your abilities, I doubt you should usurp this

cave." Jenifer believed that the Rule Soul Avatar should challenge the warrior at the Star God Realm,

as that would increase his chances.

"Get out of the cave, or you'll die," the Rule Soul Avatar warned the man in the cave.

He was determined to occupy this person's cave.

"How dare you? I know you have great potential, which is why I will spare your life. But if you insist on

challenging me and take one more step forward, you will die!" A fierce roar came from the cave.

The Rule Soul Avatar ignored the threat and stepped forward.

"What? Do you want to die?"

The Rule Soul Avatar continued to ignore the man's warnings and readied himself to enter the cave.

Boom!

Cascade after cascade of tremendous god's power gushed out of the cave.

When he sensed the threat, the Rule Soul Avatar gathered his defensive law to resist the mighty blow.

Bang!

Although he was thrown back thousands of feet, he did not suffer any injuries.

"Oh, it seems as though he has been seriously injured, and his god's power is almost exhausted,"

Jenifer remarked after she sensed that something was wrong with this cave owner.

The Rule Soul Avatar had expected this. And so, he stabilized himself, flew back, and continued to

walk toward the cave.

"Please wait," a voice pleaded from the cave. "Please don't. If I were banished from the cave, I would

die. If you give me three years to recover from my injuries, I will willingly cede the cave to you."

"You were too arrogant and threatened to kill him. Why should he forgive you?" Jenifer stated coldly.

"Miss, I just wanted to scare him as my life depends on it. I didn't have any evil intentions. Please

forgive me," the cave owner clarified and begged for mercy.

Jenifer, who was a kind person, felt compassion stir within her when she heard the cave owner's

explanation. In a dilemma, she turned and asked, "Mr. Chu, what should we do now?"

"It is the law of the jungle," the Rule Soul Avatar replied coldly before he continued forward.

He was aware that if he did not usurp this cave, his chances of survival would fall significantly after he

went out. It was a terrible position to be in, but since the Rule Soul Avatar was emotionless, he didn't

struggle with the decision as much as Jenifer did.

"You! If you insist on killing me, I will not make it easy for you. You have to consider whether you can

survive after a suicide explosion of a warrior at the Celestial God Realm!" The warrior inside the cave

knew he couldn't fight his opponent. Since he was going to die either way, the cave owner threatened

his aggressor with the hopes that it would change his mind.

The Rule Soul Avatar didn't stop. On the contrary, he rushed into the cave.

As the power of laws descended, a brilliant light burst from the cave, followed by a deafening sound.

"Damn it! I'll cut you in pieces! In pieces!"

the owner of the cave roared repeatedly. However, due to his severe injuries and lack of god's power,

the powerful Rule Soul Avatar suppressed him.

Both opponents continued to lose god's power as the fight went on, but the consumption of the Rule

Soul Avatar's god's power was slower than that of the cave owner.

Two hours later, a figure shot out of the cave.

The god's power in his body was so weak that he even couldn't brace himself.

The Rule Soul Avatar flew out next and landed beside him.

"You can explode now," the Rule Soul Avatar said coldly.

"You!" The owner of the cave trembled all over, but he didn't dare to carry out his threat.

"Boy, I will survive this. And when I do, I swear that I will find you and cut you into pieces!" the former

owner of the cave shouted.

The Rule Soul Avatar glanced at him coldly and began to gather his law sword.

A rational and unemotional man, the Rule Soul Avatar would never allow a future threat to exist. Now

that the former cave owner had sworn to avenge himself, he had no choice left. He had to kill the man.

However, just when the Rule Soul Avatar was about to take action, the guard in the black robe

appeared and erased the Rule Soul Avatar's law sword with a wave.

"The former cave owner has surrendered the cave. Now, you can't kill him. Do you understand? That is

the rule."

As the guard's strength was unfathomable, the Rule Soul Avatar had no choice but to accept his

decree. With nothing else left to do, he turned and flew toward his new cave.

"Leave the Cliff within three days," the guard in the black robe instructed the former cave owner before

expelling him.

"Yes, guard." The man bowed his head and responded feebly.

Jenifer followed the Rule Soul Avatar into his cave.

"Hey," Jenifer said.

"Are you feeling sorry for him?" the Rule Soul Avatar asked softly.

"No. I just wanted to understand why you chose the first cave at the beginning. What did you see in the

first cave?"

She was curious about the Rule Soul Avatar's choice.

Jenifer couldn't sense that the third cave's owner was injured. However, the Rule Soul Avatar had

selected this cave, which meant that he had known that he would be successful in expelling its owner.

He had seen through everything. But how?

So she was curious to learn what he thought of the first cave.

The first cave's aura showed that the owner was at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm. Jenifer

wondered whether that cave's owner was injured or not.

Out of curiosity, she asked about it.

"He is a kid."

The Rule Soul Avatar did not need to hide anything. When he examined the cave with his silvery eyes,

he sensed that in it was a child of about four or five years of age. holds text © rights.

Moreover, the child was very strange. His expression was dull, and his body was dirty and messy. What

surprised him more was that there was no fluctuation of god's power in the child's body.

"A kid? How can that be possible?"

"Why not?" the guard in the black robe asked as he entered the cave.
