But he could not call Immortals to kill Long Chen. He couldnât interfere with Destiny in that manner.
In his eyes, he was the only one who could kill Long Chen effectively. But as the Destiny didnât allow him to harm a mortal, he couldnât do that either.
No matter how Long Chen was or what his affiliation with destiny was. The truth was that he was still a mortal.
He couldnât hurt a mortal. The only way he could hurt a mortal was if the Mortal was entirely swallowed by Darkness.
Since Long Chen had the Law of Darkness, it was easy for him to be swallowed by Darkness. Thatâs why he planned all this.
His partner had tried to use the same plan previously when he tried to put Long Chenâs family in danger by telling the Major Sects about Long Chen killing their disciple.
That was what led Long Chen to use the Dark Sacrifice. Unfortunately, that much darkness wasnât enough. And Long Chen wasnât attacked by them personally.
The only reason Long Chen hadnât directly faced these people in battle was because he has control over his emotions and on his Darkness.
He didnât let it swallow him entirely. Even when he had wiped the entire city of Shui, Darkness hadnât swallowed him. His Heart Devil took the brunt of that darkness, saving Long Chen indirectly.
Unfortunately, Long Chenâs Heart Devil was incomplete after he divided it with his clone in the Spirit World. It was why he was more vulnerable to Darkness when his emotions were unstable even if he hadnât used the Dark Sacrifice.
As for when he use Dark Sacrifice, even Long Chen didnât know how bad it could be.

Back at Long Chenâs home world, there existed another Esteria Empire.
It was the only Empire on this continent that ruled over everything. And Long Chen was wanted here because of being Saint Killer Heir.
At the moment, the guards of the Esteria Royal Palace were standing before a Young Boy.
The young boy was Wu Lia. He was the partner of the half-masked man and the one who suffered at the hands of Long Chen last time. He was also the one who used to possess the twentieth token of the Divine Heaven Sect.
When Long Chenâs body was under the control of someone else during the fight with Xu Liang, he had suffered.
Whoever was possessing Long Chen at that time had punished this guy by taking his powers of time and space while also sending him to a deserted place.
He still had his impeccable Cultivation, but he couldnât use the Laws anymore.
He had to ferry a ride here to get to the Royal Palace so he could use their Teleportation formation to get to his partner since he couldnât directly Teleport to different worlds anymore.
"Stop! You canât come in!"
"Sigh, I canât attack these mortals technically. This will be annoying. Thatâs right. I canât hurt them, but I can show them my power," Wu Lia muttered as he thought of a way.
He actually didnât need to hurt them. All he needed to do was scare them into submission.
"Call your Emperor out. I am Wu Lia, the Saint from the Immortal World. If he doesnât come out, Iâll destroy this mortal world," Wu Lia declared as he raised his hand towards the sky.
As soon as his hand was raised, a massive ball of flame appeared above his head, which kept getting bigger and bigger.
Soon, the ball of flame was looking nothing less than the sun. It had also gotten so big that it had covered the entire Esteria Empire.
The massive sun of flame had increased the head within the entire Empire. Everyone ran inside their houses to hide themselves from the heat, but they still couldnât protect themselves from being drenched in sweat.
The Emperor came out of the Palace on his own, wondering why heat had increased suddenly.
As he came flying out of the Palace, he saw a young boy at the origin of it and a massive son above his head.
"This strength? Itâs way above mine. Who is this kid? Someone from the Immortal World?" the Emperor thought as he landed on the ground in front of the kid.
"Who might you be, great saint?â he asked.
"I am from the Immortal World, here on this filthy planet to check something. If you donât do as I say and annoy me, I do have the right to destroy you all!" the boy said arrogantly.
Since he actually couldnât fight, he could only try to intimidate the man with his strength.
"Of course. Whatever you want shall be done," the Emperor agreed as he joined his hand in respect.
...
"Call them to help!" Long Chen yelled, scaring Lu Wang so much that he dropped to the ground.
The Darkness which surrounded Long Chen kept increasing, making him seem like the Demon God that ruled over Darkness.
No one knew, but there was another change taking place simultaneously.
The Sapling of Darkness inside Long Chenâs Martial Space was growing in size.
There was one more thing that was happening inside his Inner World that he had created. Darkness from his Law Sapling from his Martial Space was sleeping inside his Inner Worlds, affecting it in unintentional ways.
"Call them!"
Hearing no response from Lu Wang, Long Chen again insisted, but this time it was followed by Lu Wangâs left leg falling to the ground.
Lu Wang again didnât scream in pain as he couldnât feel pain. But he did keep pushing himself back with the help of his only leg that was left.
Unfortunately, that didnât last for long either as his other leg was also cut.
His helpless body laid on the ground, without arms or legs. He couldnât even move anymore. All he could do was try to raise his head to watch Long Chen, who kept coming closer, in no haste.
"You really wanted to kill someone close to me, didnât you? Kill her. No, let me do better. Since she isnât close to me now, Iâll give you a better option."
Long Chen waved his hand, calling out Zhiqing.
"Hmm? Is Mingyu saf-"
Zhiqing asked as soon as she came out, but before she could finish, she saw Long Chen and the Darkness surrounding him.
"Go ahead. Try to kill my woman. Do it. Try! I dare you to try. She is also my wife. Try it," Long Chen said as he pointed towards Zhiqing while keeping his right leg on the chest of the man who felt like his death was near.
