The saber arc travelled, destroying everything in its path, whether obstacles or even reality itself.

The immortal snake's speed increased, but no matter how fast it flew, it couldn't dodge the saber arc.

With wisdom shimmering in its vertical pupils, it turned back to face the incoming saber arc with a hiss.

The snake opened its jaws and spat a mouthful of poison toward it. The scales on the snake became larger and thicker, while a thin layer of poison coated its entire body.

The poison couldn't stop the saber arc as it sliced cleanly through both the poison and the Immortal King Snake's armour.

It faced a little obstruction when it touched the poison coating around the scales; however, that was only for the blink of an eye as it cleanly cleaved the snake into two halves by penetrating the armour.

The two halves lifelessly fell to the ground without a single movement.

Shing!

A strange sound of a domineering saber resounded throughout the place as the lifeless cleaved body of the snake fell to the ground, creating a large crater almost like a meteor site.

The snake roared in agony, its two separate bodies writhing with a mixture of unwillingness in its vertical pupils.

It tried to shed its skin and have a new lease on life, but a strange force in its body prevented it from doing so.

Just as when the Immortal Snake King died, a strange green dome appeared over the area where it perished, enveloping the entire space in a green haze.

Ray squinted his eyes. The snake was on an entirely different continent, but for his vision, the distance was insignificant—it couldn't hide from his sight at all.

"This green domain... is this the Poison Law?" Ray wondered, his curiosity piqued as he flew toward the place, his figure blurring and a trail of fire left in his wake from the sheer intensity of his speed.

"This… This can't be…" Mallory's body trembled as she collapsed to her knees.

She had hope—hope to be free, to continue her ambition to rule the world and save it from Mother Earth. But now, that single hope had been shattered, all because of Ray.

"Why?"

"Why?" Mallory gritted her teeth. "Why do you even exist, Ray?"

This foolish woman couldn't grasp the reality that even if she managed to protect humanity from Mother Earth, she was inviting an even greater threat—one more terrifying than Mother Earth.

The planetary being of Mars would not only endanger humans but likely destroy their entire world altogether.

Yet, Mallory refused to recognize this fact or chose to escape from it. When a goal becomes too despairing to achieve, people often retreat into their own dreams, avoiding the harshness of reality.

Unfortunately, reality was never a dream—it was cold and unforgiving.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her fists clenched so tightly that blood began to seep from her palms.

…

Ray didn't care about this woman's thoughts. In his eyes, her status was even lower than that of a slave. He at least cared about the lives of Violet, Natalia, and Sibley, as they were carrying his children, but for Mallory, her life or death didn't matter at all.

Even if she killed herself, he would watch with cold, indifferent eyes.

"Hmm, this poison domain blob is strange."

As Ray arrived at the place where the Immortal Snake King had fallen, these words slipped from his mouth.

There was something off about it. His celestial senses tingled just by being in the area.

"This thing has something I desire from the depths of my heart... something I like," Ray muttered, his gaze growing more intense as he focused on the poison domain with an indescribable expression.

This came from the depths of his soul.

Ray's two pupils—one red and one golden—began to glint with a peculiar light.

He waited and waited, for what felt like an agonising two minutes, before a stream of information finally surged into his brain.

At last, Ray saw it—the information he had been seeking:

[Poison Law Domain]

[Type: Phenomenon]

[Description: Those who enter this domain are able to have their comprehension increased by at least tenfold, and their power to sense the concept of poison increases, as long as the creature can withstand the poison.]

[Remark: Beings who have forcefully upgraded their strength to the peak Celestial level with the help of a Planetary being, sharing a portion of their comprehension, will cause the laws to escape from their body and form this domain upon their death.]

"The planetary being of Mars—that being really did it."

Ray was certain of it; his grudge against this being grew even stronger. Not that he would spare this being even if it hadn't done this.

Cough! Cough!

At that moment, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of green blood, a shudder running down his spine.

He quickly suppressed the poison and slowly walked toward the domain, entering it.

"This is my chance."

Ray gritted his teeth.

The moment he stepped inside, his vision was filled with green liquid as far as he could see—there was nothing but green.

Cough! Cough!

Ray's eyes widened again as he vomited another mouthful of blood; his organs were being destroyed at an even faster rate here.

"I need to hurry up." He sat on the floor, crossing his legs with a focused mind.

Ray sank deeper into focus, even through the terrifying pain that was tearing his body from the inside.

Slowly, Ray could see a green bubble moving in a strange direction, taking the shape of a snake, a human, or even a monkey.

Then, before his eyes, a river appeared.

"What is this?"

The green bubble returned to its original form and entered the water, immediately turning the entire river green.

In front of Ray, the entire river floated, transforming into the green bubble. His heart seemed to pulsate rapidly while looking at the green buble.

There seemed to be an epiphany, at the same time strange changes occurs in his Mutation Energy.
