479-481 (13k)

Even though Jintong struggled desperately, under the covert attack of Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar, all his struggles were in vain.

Just a few confrontations.

After another arm was severed.

"Peng~" One of the sword formations suddenly hit Jintong's head, causing his head to explode, and his resistance sharply declined.

Although the gods could continue to fight even after losing their heads, and even regrow them.

But the head was the core. Once lost, their combat power would greatly diminish for a short time.

"Pong~"

Under the interweaving sword light, Jintong's remaining body was completely strangled and annihilated.

At this moment!

The entire void finally quieted down, leaving only the numerous treasures left behind by Jintong.

"He really deserves to control monarch-level techniques." Wu Yuan whispered to himself, "Jintong's strength is probably slightly stronger than Mu Long, whom I fought before."

"Even stronger than Xuanrong."

Wu Yuan had collided with several geniuses who controlled monarch-level techniques and roughly understood this level of strength.

"If the avatar doesn't take action."

"Purely relying on the avatar, killing is possible, but it would require more means." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly and looked back at the temple, which was gradually dissipating from the fog, thousands of miles away.

Jintong was determined to escape. Relying solely on the avatar, it would probably take a million miles of pursuit to kill him.

And the treasure in front of him could emerge at any time.

Therefore, Wu Yuan decided to take decisive action, first attacking his consciousness with a sudden assault of his soul, and then suddenly bursting out with the refining gas avatar and the avatar joining forces to kill him.

Everything.

Was under Wu Yuan's control.

"These guys." Wu Yuan suddenly frowned, "Are they still watching? They should all die."

Boom!

Wu Yuan moved instantly. With his spiritual perception, he knew the whereabouts of these geniuses, and directly rushed towards them to kill.

..."Mingjian actually won?"

"Jintong lost!"

"In such a short time, not only was the outcome determined, but life and death were also decided?"

"Jintong's source body is dead?" The surrounding group of geniuses were still in shock.

In their expectations, even if Mingjian erupted powerfully, at most, he would only suppress Jintong, and it would be very difficult to kill him.

But the outcome exceeded all their expectations.

Just as Jintong showed signs of retreat, Mingjian suddenly surged up, and his strength seemed to increase significantly again, directly killing Jintong.

"What's going on?"

"Could Mingjian be the strongest genius?"

"It doesn't seem like it." These geniuses who were secretly watching were extremely puzzled and thinking.

Suddenly, they saw Wu Yuan rushing towards them, killing them.

"Not good."

"Run!"

"Mingjian is coming out." Dozens of geniuses remaining around the treasure land panicked and immediately began to flee in all directions.

Puchi! Puchi!

Clang!

Sword lights crisscrossed, and one genius after another fell. Under Mingjian's frenzied pursuit, more than a dozen geniuses were slaughtered.

Other geniuses scattered like birds and beasts, terrified and no longer dared to approach, fleeing in all directions.

...Dispelling the scattered many geniuses around relieved the potential threat.

Only then did Wu Yuan return to the temple above and carefully inspect the treasures he had harvested.

"Truly deserving of being the number one genius of the Dome Thunder Academy, controlling monarch-level techniques is extraordinary." Wu Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.

Killing Jintong's source body and harvesting the treasures equaled the value of killing one or two hundred geniuses before.

Of course, Wu Yuan was certain that this was because a large part of the treasures left by Jintong were spoils of war.

But regardless.

This battle was extremely profitable.

"No wonder those super strong ones, the stronger their strength, the more exaggerated their wealth." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

The wealth of the strong increases exponentially, after all, their strength is formidable, and they have an incomparably long time.

"After this battle."

"The entire Thirty-Sixth Divine Realm, there shouldn't be many who dare to fight me." Wu Yuan laughed.

He continued to sit cross-legged in the void, waiting quietly for the temple to open.

After some thought.

Wu Yuan directly reported the process and results of this battle to the Taiyuan Divine Court, letting them know through the Supreme Lords.

...As Wu Yuan expected.

The battle between his refining gas avatar and Jintong had indeed spread to dozens of observing geniuses in the first place.

Those dozens of geniuses came from different factions, making the spread of this battle news very fast.

The Universe Sky Road had not been open for long, and there were very few battles erupting among the top geniuses.

The battle of the strongest geniuses, for the time being, was only the battle between Zhushan and Yuxiang.

And the battle between Mingjian and Jintong had already been hailed as a top-notch showdown.

In the end.

Mingjian won, killing Jintong!

Causing various sacred forces to take notice.

And making countless geniuses from various divine realms remember Mingjian's name completely.

Mingjian, with his strength, proved that he was not only good at survival, but also mastered monarch-level techniques, and was just as formidable in direct combat.

"In the Thirty-Sixth Divine Realm, Mingjian should be the strongest in strength."

"The number one in this realm."

"Even Jintong is not his match. If we encounter him, we'll have to die." Especially many geniuses from the Thirty-Sixth Divine Realm remembered the name Mingjian.

And remembered Mingjian's image.

Once they met, needless to say, they would run for their lives.

...Mingjian's eruption also delighted the highest levels of the Taiyuan Divine Court.

Throughout the history of the Taiyuan Divine Court, there were not many peerless geniuses who had an extraordinary reputation in the Universe Sky Road.

In the Qingling Great Realm.

"Haha, great!"

"Mingjian has erupted, erupted. I told you, his refining gas avatar's strength is not much weaker than the refining body avatar." Inside the pavilion, the Northern Ethereal Sovereign drank his wine, feeling extremely comfortable.

He had already received the information from the Taiyuan Divine Court.

Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar going on a killing spree deeply resonated with him.

"So powerful?" Kuachi Sovereign frowned and muttered.

He was also happy for Wu Yuan, but until now, he hadn't heard any news of Wu Yuan's refining body avatar erupting.

"Forget it."

"Kuachi." The Northern Ethereal Sovereign smiled, "The divine realm battle is a large-scale massacre. It is destined that the refining gas avatar will have the advantage. In the case of being good at time and space, most of the strongest geniuses cannot catch up with him."

"As for the refining body avatar? To shake the various realms and gain fame, it probably has to wait until the battle of the Heavenly Domain." The Northern Ethereal Sovereign laughed.

Kuachi Sovereign nodded, understanding the reasoning.

But.

Seeing the happy appearance of the Northern Ethereal Sovereign, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"This old guy." Kuachi Sovereign muttered.

...Outside, the turmoil caused by this battle continued.

And within the Thirty-Sixth Divine Realm, after waiting for nearly half an hour.

Buzz~ Finally, the mist-shrouded temple completely emerged, and the invisible rule power covering it completely dissipated.

Allowing Wu Yuan to approach safely.

At this moment, although there were still a few geniuses watching from afar tens of thousands of miles away, no one dared to approach.

Those who dared to approach had all been killed.

Phew!

Wu Yuan sat cross-legged in the void, opened his eyes, took a step, and arrived outside the temple.

The temple was about ten miles high and a hundred miles wide, seemingly cast entirely from bronze, emitting waves of ancient and distant aura.

"This temple?" Wu Yuan was curious. With a single thought, he attempted to retract the entire temple.

Although the temple seemed majestic, that was only for mortals. What kind of buildings and treasures hadn't Wu Yuan seen?

However.

With a slight attempt, Wu Yuan felt an unmatched pressure enveloping him, making him barely able to stand steadily.

"So strong!"

Wu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly. He already understood that he couldn't take away the temple before him.

It was not an ordinary object; it seemed to be integrated with the entire universe, a manifestation of the entire divine realm world.

"This divine realm world."

"This temple, and the entire Universe Sky Road, are they really naturally evolved?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but think of this question.

All of this, seemingly, was manipulated by an invisible hand, determining everything.

But.

Wu Yuan just thought about it slightly. The Universe Sky Road was mysterious and unpredictable. Even the highest existences couldn't directly intervene, so he didn't need to bother too much.

"Let's go in."

Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar stepped up the steps towards the temple. With each step, he felt a surge of immense pressure.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan's strength was strong enough to withstand it.

If it were an ordinary immortal or deity, they would probably be crushed to death by this endless terror pressure.

In front of the temple door stood rows of majestic columns, appearing quite dignified.

However, there were no carvings or decorations on the columns.

Phew!

"Open." Wu Yuan stretched out his hand, exerted a little force, and the seemingly heavy door suddenly opened with a bang, instantly countless misty lights flooded into the temple, completely enveloping Wu Yuan.

In the next moment.

"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly as he felt an unbeatable force enveloping his whole body, and then he disappeared at the entrance of the temple.

Boom~

The heavy door slowly closed, the entire temple began to tremble slightly, and then a hazy light flashed, and the temple disappeared completely.

This area returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"It disappeared?"

"Where does this temple lead to? What kind of opportunity is it?"

"It must be a great opportunity."

"It seems that only one person is allowed to enter?" The several geniuses who were secretly observing were stunned, feeling somewhat lost.

They all understood that they had clearly missed a great opportunity.

The so-called providence in the dark mostly didn't directly help, but served as an auxiliary.

When a great opportunity emerged, if one had the chance to come into contact with it and seize it, that was the role of providence.

Like Jintong, Wu Yuan, and dozens of other geniuses who were able to arrive in time before the temple appeared.

This was all providence, indicating that they were all destined.

If there was no such providence, no matter how strong their strength was, what's the use? If they couldn't make it in time, they naturally couldn't enter the temple.

But when opportunity came.

One also needed enough strength to seize it, and obviously, Wu Yuan was the one who ultimately combined providence and strength.

Soon.

The news of "Mingjian entering a mysterious temple, then the temple disappeared" also spread, but it attracted less attention.

After all, among the fifty-five divine realms and millions of geniuses, some had obtained similar opportunities.

And with the passage of time, such opportunities would become more and more common.

The reason why the Universe Sky Road attracted the attention of the highest existences had its reasons.

...

This was a mysterious and unpredictable place, all around was nothingness.

Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar and his true body stood in this void.

"Here?" Wu Yuan cautiously explored his surroundings.

The invisible force that enveloped him just now had brought him here.

Moreover.

As soon as he descended, Wu Yuan sensed that his divine sense couldn't leave his body, and even his mana was vaguely restricted and difficult to use, and this was just secondary.

More crucially, Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar became extremely vague in perceiving the many origins of the Dao, as if separated by a layer of veil, unable to sense even the origins of the great Dao.

It was obvious that the environment here was very special.

Suddenly.

"Hum~" Countless purple rays of light condensed out of thin air, forming a purple jade-like jade in front of Wu Yuan, suspended in the air.

Meanwhile.

Silently, a message was directly transmitted to Wu Yuan's mind.

"So that's how it is." A hint of joy flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes, understanding already.

He scanned around and murmured to himself, "So, this place is actually the Primordial Law Pavilion."

The message was complex, but it boiled down to two points.

First, the jade contained the first, second, and third volumes of the Primordial Law. The entire Primordial Law was divided into nine volumes.

Second, this was the Primordial Law Pavilion, conducive to comprehending the Primordial Law. Wu Yuan could cultivate here for up to a hundred years.

Of course.

It was at most a hundred years. If Wu Yuan wanted to leave within a hundred years, he could do so at any time.

"Heh heh, why would I leave?"

"To think that I've obtained the Primordial Law." Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar smiled.

To enter the Divine Realm Battle, there were three main ways: kill enough powerful beings, reach the level of a monarch in Dao comprehension, or comprehend the "Primordial Law."

All the forces in various sacred places were curious about the Primordial Law and were constantly exploring it.

But so far, even the Witch Pavilion and the Immortal Pavilion hadn't figured out how to obtain it.

And yet, Wu Yuan had quietly obtained it like this.

"Let's take a look first." Wu Yuan reached out and grabbed the purple jade. Immediately, under tremendous pressure, his divine consciousness reluctantly surged into the jade.

Boom!

Like a tide, a massive amount of information surged directly into Wu Yuan's mind, even stunning his powerful primordial spirit.

After a while!

"Hoo!" Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar seemed to regain consciousness. Then, he closed his eyes and silently perceived and deduced the "Primordial Law" he had just obtained.

It was vast and intricate!

A whole day later, Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar finally regained consciousness. His eyes were full of shock.

With an expression of disbelief.

"In this world, there would actually be such a miraculous method?" Wu Yuan murmured to himself, "The Primordial Law? Does it originate from the essence of all things?"

Although he had only slightly comprehended it, this volume of the "Primordial Law" deeply shocked Wu Yuan.

It!

Was not some ordinary Dao technique, but rather ingenious.

It approached everything from a completely different angle, using pure material to deduce the ultimate mysteries.

"Ordinary cultivation methods, whether it's the 'Creation Saint Prohibition' type of treasure-eruption secret technique, or the 'Space-Time Nine Swords' and 'Life-and-Death Intent' type of combat secret technique, or other methods, trace back to the source, and the core is always the 'Dao'." Wu Yuan silently pondered.

The Dao is fundamental!

The operation of all things in the world is because of the Dao. Because of the operation of the Dao's power, all things in the world, countless beings, and substances can evolve.

And like countless cultivators, whether they are gas refiners, body refiners, or even the demons in the abyss, with myriad supernatural powers and countless methods, their essence is all about understanding the Dao.

If the realm of Dao is high enough, one Dao can encompass all methods, and many other aspects will naturally improve.

But.

The "Primordial Law" that Wu Yuan obtained today was completely different. Its direction of cultivation was—researching material.

"Everything exists, and the Dao exists. Everything operates, and the Dao is born." This was the core of the Primordial Law.

Its philosophy was simple: everything exists, and so-called Dao and laws exist.

If everything doesn't exist, if all matter returns to chaos, all Dao and laws will cease to exist.

"Matter, laws."

"Who originates from whom?" Wu Yuan murmured, feeling that this involved the endless universe and even the entire river of time and space, the most fundamental aspects of all origins.

It was already beyond his level and ability to deduce.

Moreover.

Even monarchs and rulers would find it difficult to explore. In Wu Yuan's speculation, perhaps only the highest existences had the qualifications to explore the original source.

"However, who created this 'Primordial Law'?" Wu Yuan became more and more curious.

Who could create such a miraculous method?

It was completely different from all the methods Wu Yuan had encountered so far, seemingly a completely different cultivation system.

It was completely different.

The Universe Sky Road allowed countless geniuses of this generation to cultivate this method. What exactly was the purpose?

Phew!

Wu Yuan took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Forget it, delving deeper into the meaning isn't very helpful. When disaster strikes, there's someone to deal with it. Let's try to cultivate and comprehend the 'Primordial Law' first."

What Wu Yuan obtained was only the first three volumes of the "Primordial Law".

They were the Time and Space Volume, the Life Volume, and the All Things Volume.

For example, the Time and Space Volume, although it had similarities to the time and space Dao that Wu Yuan comprehended in many aspects, it had fundamental differences. It didn't explain the mysteries of time and space Dao, but rather the material composition of time and space.

Yes!

In the "Primordial Law", time and space were not elusive, but real existing material.

Even things like the mind, fate virtual realm, causality, and so on, were all real material, and the so-called aspect of heaven and earth's emptiness was also material in essence.

However.

Many real materials were too rare, deeply hidden in the universe, and ordinary beings couldn't even perceive them, let alone discover them.

"All Dao!"

"All laws are not just illusions, but originate from reality, from material," Wu Yuan silently recited.

This "Primordial Law" fundamentally shook Wu Yuan's understanding of nearly twenty thousand years.

But it also made him anxious.

"Take it slow. First, thoroughly comprehend the 'Three Thousand Basic Diagrams' of the Time and Space Volume." Wu Yuan calmed his mind and gradually began to comprehend.

Although the time was short, Wu Yuan already vaguely understood why this Primordial Law Pavilion would be conducive to cultivation.

If outside.

Powerful cultivators were constantly perceiving the origins of many Dao, influenced by the origins of Dao. Even if they practiced the "Primordial Law," they would unknowingly develop biases in their understanding of material things.

However, in this Primordial Law Pavilion, the influence of many origins of Dao was greatly weakened.

It allowed for better comprehension of the "Primordial Law."

As time passed, year after year.

Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar and the law body silently cultivated in this mysterious Primordial Law Pavilion.

In the Universe Sky Road, the battles between various geniuses continued.

Wu Yuan's original body, on the other hand, kept making a name for himself in the Seventh Divine Realm World, gaining more and more fame.

PS: Three-in-one.

In addition to the guaranteed two chapters, yesterday's chapter is added.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 480 Facing the Strongest Geniuses

Wu Yuan's refining gas avatar and law body were in that special mysterious place, comprehending the first three volumes of the "Primordial Law".

There was no more participation in battles.

As the years passed, even though many participating geniuses became more cautious and refrained from engaging in battles easily, fleeing immediately when encountering unbeatable opponents.

However, over the long years, in the fifty-five divine realm worlds, top geniuses who were extreme comprehendors of the Star Monarch level techniques began to collide and duel gradually, despite being cautious.

There were even battles between the strongest geniuses.

With the absence of Mingjian for a long time, the impact and shock brought by his battle with Jintong gradually diminished.

Instead, some previously hidden top geniuses, after bursting out with their strength, became even more famous.

For Wu Yuan, his refining gas avatar had already gained fame as "Mingjian".

As for Wu Yuan's original body, due to its low efficiency in exploration, it had much fewer encounters with other geniuses, but it was more stable and steady.

In the third year, he encountered "Gaimingtian", an extreme comprehend of the Star Monarch level from the Immortal Court, and killed him in three moves.

By this time, the number of active geniuses outside had decreased significantly.

It wasn't until the tenth year that the first batch of geniuses who had fallen in both their refining gas and original bodies finally resumed cultivation.

Many divine realm worlds suddenly became extremely lively again.

In that year, in a treasure battle, Wu Yuan's original body single-handedly killed more than thirty geniuses, sweeping away all opposition and gaining great renown.

In the twenty-seventh year, Wu Yuan's original body encountered "Qianbaohua", the number one genius of the Nine Nether Mountain in the Holy Land, and killed him after more than a hundred rounds of intense battle.

In the following decade.

Wu Yuan successively encountered two super geniuses who controlled techniques at the level of a monarch in the Seventh Divine Realm World, killing them within a hundred moves each time, and engaging in several major battles, causing Wu Yuan's fame to skyrocket.

Having defeated Mulong before the opening of the Universe Sky Road and now defeating Qianbaohua and three other super geniuses again, it proved his astonishing strength.

It can be said.

Nearly a hundred years after the opening of the Universe Sky Road, among the hundreds of thousands of participating geniuses in the Seventh Divine Realm World, apart from two strongest geniuses who had revealed their strength, the one with the greatest strength and fame was undoubtedly Wu Yuan!

He was recognized as the third strongest in the Seventh Divine Realm World.

Looking across the fifty-five divine realm worlds, he was the topmost among dozens of strongest geniuses who had revealed their strength.

And as time passed.

In various holy land forces, many top geniuses continued to comprehend and cultivate the "Primordial Law", whether it was the first volume or the first three volumes.

But due to the invisible rules of the Universe Sky Road, these top geniuses could not disclose the contents of the "Primordial Law" to the highest levels of their respective forces, only saying a few words.

"This so-called 'Primordial Law' is fundamentally different from many of the secret techniques we cultivate?"

"What exactly is it?"

"I don't understand." The masters of various holy land forces were full of doubts.

In the past years when the Universe Sky Road was opened, such a thing had never happened.

Even some masters of holy land forces began to report this matter to the highest existences.

However, most of them received no response.

Occasionally, a supreme existence would say only one thing: "Don't worry about it, it's not something you can intervene in."

Therefore, the high-level forces of various holy lands, curious as they were, could only focus their attention on the geniuses participating in battles.

---

Divine Realm World No. 1.

In a vast mountain range, a large number of geniuses were engaged in fierce battles.

"Loot!"

"Kill!"

"With such intense fluctuations of heaven and earth and such a wide range, the box could very well contain a top-grade Dao artifact or contain the 'Primordial Law'."

"Fight!" Over a hundred geniuses were fiercely fighting here, many of them teaming up desperately.

As each battle unfolded, many geniuses realized that it was too disadvantageous to venture alone against the top geniuses. The probability of winning was slim, while the probability of falling was extremely high. Therefore, most chose to join forces.

Moreover, many powerful figures from various holy lands were consciously uniting under the guidance of their masters.

Today, the more than a hundred geniuses fighting were mostly affiliated with three major forces - the Great Origin Divine Court, the Witch Court, and the Myriad Alliance.

The battles between the three major forces were extremely fierce.

"Kill!" A figure in a purple robe, exuding unparalleled heroism and killing intent, was the leader of the Great Origin Divine Court team, Bai Yi.

He was also a well-known genius in the First Divine Realm World, possessing an extreme comprehension of the Star Monarch level.

"Bai Yi!"

"Your strength is formidable, but today, you've encountered me." A young man in black robes in the distance, surrounded by a large snake, withstood Bai Yi's attacks with powerful spells.

He was a top genius from the Witch Court, slightly inferior in comprehension of the Dao, but equally strong in power, restraining Bai Yi.

The Myriad Alliance team was the weakest in strength but was trying to take advantage of the situation between the two major teams.

"The treasure is about to appear."

"It's time to fight for real!"

"Get ready." Over a hundred geniuses were extremely excited. In the central area of the battlefield, the mist surrounding the wooden box was dissipating completely.

The treasure was fully revealed.

Suddenly!

Buzz~ The light distorted, and the surrounding time seemed to freeze. In front of everyone, a figure dressed in azure robes, with an immortal aura, appeared out of thin air next to the wooden box.

He grabbed it.

"Thank you all." The man in azure robes smiled, looking extremely friendly. His gaze swept over the surrounding geniuses: "Fate is unpredictable. In gratitude to all fellow daoists, I will send you on your way."

"Not good."

"It's Unpredictable!"

"Run." The faces of the members of the three major teams, including Bai Yi and the black-robed youth surrounded by the snake, changed drastically, as if they had encountered a ghost.

Unpredictable.

The most mysterious top genius in the First Divine Realm World, and even in the fifty-five divine realm worlds, was one of the most mysterious geniuses.

He had no name, and before the Universe Sky Road opened, no information about him was available to any of the holy land forces.

Where he came from and who he apprenticed under were all mysteries.

But there were only two points.

First, he comprehended the Great Dao of Fate, and his attack methods were mysterious and unpredictable. Many geniuses who encountered him fell silent and fell.

Second, his habitual catchphrases were "Fate is unpredictable" and "Sending fellow daoists on their way".

Therefore, countless geniuses in the First Divine Realm World were given the nickname "Unpredictable".

"Run!"

"Go." Over a hundred geniuses from the three major teams had no courage to fight him, fleeing in all directions with a loud rumble.

Unpredictable had already proven with his previous achievements that besieging him with a large number of ordinary geniuses was useless.

"I haven't started sending you off yet."

"You fellow daoists are leaving already. There's no need to be in such a hurry." Unpredictable, still smiling, traversed the void in one step in an instant.

Thud! Thud!

Silently, one by one, the geniuses who were fleeing dropped to the ground with a hint of fear in their eyes, already falling.

The Great Dao of Fate was the most mysterious, and its attack methods were chilling.

"Bai Yi?"

"I'm most interested in you." Unpredictable smiled, "With ordinary methods, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill you. After all, you have also comprehended the law of causality."

He quickly approached Bai Yi.

His speed far surpassed Bai Yi.

"Unpredictable Fate, your attacks have already bypassed the defenses of divine soul treasures. Have you comprehended the Great Dao of Fate to such an extent?" Bai Yi's face was pale. She endured a round of Unpredictable's attacks.

She held on.

As for the other geniuses? Looking around, the hundreds of geniuses had all perished.

In this round of attacks, only she survived.

"You can't completely ignore it."

"If it's a divine soul defense treasure of medium quality, it can still weaken my attacks." Unpredictable smiled. "Plus, all of you are only at the level of Origin or Law Body, your divine souls are too weak."

"Bai Yi, come and attack me, show me your comprehension of the law of causality. As long as you can hurt me, I won't thank you." Unpredictable smiled.

Those he thanked, he sent on their way.

Those he didn't thank, he didn't need to send away.

The logic of Unpredictable's communication, many geniuses had long understood, and Bai Yi understood in her heart.

"Good!"

"At the risk of falling with my Law Body, I also want to test the strength of the strongest genius." Bai Yi gritted her teeth. She knew that escaping meant certain death.

Facing the battle might still offer a glimmer of hope.

Boom!

Bai Yi instantly emitted a dazzling and misty wave of confusion all around her. She seemed to sublimate, becoming ethereal and vague, as an invisible wave enveloped Unpredictable.

Her spirit, will, and thoughts soared to their peak in this moment!

"Good move."

"I merge my heart with the heavens and earth, my heart has infinite intentions!" Unpredictable smiled, gently closing his eyes. His spirit and divine soul completely dispersed.

Hum~ The laws of divine soul, causality, and fate intertwined, silent but dangerously extreme.

Bai Yi, who had a trace of confidence left, found that her causal attacks, when they touched Unpredictable's, felt as if an endless river had completely enveloped her.

It was like trying to extinguish a raging forest fire with a bucket of water, purely futile.

Boom~

Bai Yi's attack was completely annihilated, and her Law Body's divine soul was also instantly annihilated.

"So strong!"

"Fate... my heart has infinite intentions... this is the Great Dao of Fate. Truly, fate is powerful!" Bai Yi's consciousness from her Law Body's destruction echoed only this sentence in her mind.

She had a hint of doubt: "If Candle Mountain and Unpredictable collided, who would win?"

Unfortunately.

The two great geniuses were in different divine realm worlds, making it difficult for them to collide.

The void calmed down.

"Mind like water, causality like law, this kind of attack has its merits." Unpredictable still wore a smile on his face, seemingly speaking to himself. "Bai Yi, I didn't intend to send you on your way."

"But, your move has indeed helped me improve a lot, making me quite grateful. I couldn't help it."

"Well, if we meet again next time, I'll have to thank you again!"

Whoosh!

Unpredictable took a step and disappeared into the void.

So far, combined with many holy land forces, more than fifty of the strongest geniuses had emerged, and the Abyssal Demon Clan had also produced over ten powerful geniuses.

The number of strongest geniuses already indicated that this session of the Universe Sky Road, even compared to previous sessions, was relatively strong.

However, in the initial random allocation, some divine realm worlds had several strongest geniuses, while others didn't have any.

The 54th divine realm world was like this, but this world also produced many super geniuses.

In a strange and mysterious place, full of crises and surrounded by darkness.

A man in white robes and black hair walked calmly in a dim passage. Beneath his calm appearance, his attention was highly focused.

Alert to possible dangers.

"I didn't expect."

"The first time encountering such a huge treasure land, and it's so dangerous." Dongyang Sword Immortal's eyes were calm. "But, I obtained the first chapter of the 'Primordial Law,' so it's worth it."

"The Chapter of Time and Space, is explained from such a special angle. If Wu Yuan obtains it, with his comprehension of time and space as his Law Body, his level of comprehension might reach a very high level."

"I wonder if he has obtained the 'Primordial Law'." Dongyang Sword Immortal pondered silently.

He, he is the kind of genius who becomes more dazzling as he goes on. In his early years, when he comprehended the spatial laws, he wasn't particularly outstanding.

Later, after becoming a sage, when he had already achieved great success in spatial laws, he turned to comprehend the laws of life, and only then did he truly shine with his own light.

And during nearly twenty thousand years of adventures in the Dragon Mountain universe, many opportunities have caused him to undergo a transformation from the inside out.

Perhaps not yet comparable to those top geniuses.

But he, also found his own path.

"Hmm?" Dongyang Sword Immortal's eyes flickered slightly, perceiving something. His early comprehension of spatial laws also made his perception extremely sharp, far surpassing others of the same level.

Whoosh!

Originally concealed in the surrounding void, numerous flying swords appeared, surging with sword qi and instantly attacking in all directions.

"Good, to be able to perceive my presence, impressive!" A voice sounded from the side of the passage.

Almost simultaneously.

Hum~ Space twisted, and suddenly a humanoid figure appeared on the other side of the passage, a strange and unpredictable knife light instantly lit up, slashing towards Dongyang Sword Immortal.

This one sword was enough to kill a sage.

"Clang!" "Clang!" In the dim passage, the two sides clashed like lightning.

One pursuing, one evading.

"Pfft~" Dongyang Sword Immortal, who was originally fleeing frantically, suddenly turned around, a flying sword in his hand shot out, its power suddenly skyrocketing, piercing through the dark abyss flying at high speed.

The body exploded.

"Bury!" Dongyang Sword Immortal's eyes were cold, the flying swords weaving in the void, sword qi crisscrossing, and in the blink of an eye, this super genius was completely annihilated.

The dim passage once again fell silent.

"Too arrogant, just reaching the high level of the Star Monarch tier in comprehension of the Dao." Dongyang Sword Immortal muttered to himself.

After nearly twenty thousand years of cultivation in the Dragon Mountain universe, and over a hundred years of cultivation in the divine realm world.

His comprehension of the Dao had progressed from the seventh to the ninth level in the domain of life.

"Unfortunately."

"My current strength is still not enough. It's enough for self-preservation, but to pass through the divine realm battle?" Dongyang Sword Immortal shook his head slightly. "If I can control monarch-tier techniques, perhaps there is still hope to pass through the divine realm battle through slaughter."

His current goal was more focused on the "Primordial Law."

...

In the endless universe, if one's own super genius rises and performs well, it naturally brings excitement and joy.

If one's own super genius performs poorly, it can be disheartening.

In fact, even powerful forces like the holy lands have a considerable number of geniuses who haven't even mastered monarch-tier techniques.

Being able to master monarch-tier techniques is incredibly dazzling.

"Dongyang!"

"Yeah, he's pretty good. Sending him to the Dragon Mountain universe was the right move."

"He has obtained the Primordial Law."

"In this way, our Taiyuan Divine Court has gained another powerful one." The highest level of the Taiyuan Divine Court quickly noticed Dongyang Sword Immortal's performance.

Although not as outstanding as the hundreds of top geniuses, being able to dominate a region is still very good.

Initially.

Sending Dongyang Sword Immortal to the Dragon Mountain universe was done by the Master of the Heart Cliff, so the Taiyuan Divine Court naturally paid attention.

"Is there any possibility for Dongyang to go further?" Master Yanhui suddenly said, "His strength should be almost on par with Hubei and Baiyi."

"Difficult!"

"From the high-level comprehension of the Star Monarch to mastering monarch-tier techniques, it is extremely difficult to break through. Not everyone is like Mingjian."

"Well."

"If our Taiyuan Divine Court wants to make a name for itself in the Universe Sky Road, we still have to rely on Mingjian." These Taiyuan Divine Court masters were pleased with Dongyang Sword Immortal's strength.

But what they valued most was still Mingjian.

...

Within the Qingling Great Boundary, compared to Mingjian, it was the shock brought by Wuyuan that was even greater.

"Wuyuan."

"He actually defeated several peerless geniuses who mastered monarch-tier techniques again?"

"So strong."

"Could it be that he will break through to become the strongest genius in the Universe Sky Road?"

"The Cangfeng Shaman Realm, how could such a monstrous genius be born? Those so-called peerless geniuses in the history of the great realms, compared to him, are simply rubbish." The lords of many forces like the Lei Yu Temple and the Qingling Immortal Realm are paying close attention.

Within the great realm, ordinary Star Monarchs only know that the Universe Sky Road has been opened, but the specifics? They know nothing.

But as the highest level of lords in the great realm, especially the Lord Lei Yu, Lord Sha Fan, and others, if they want to know, they can still learn some information from the dominators.

And this knowledge makes them even more uneasy. Wuyuan's performance is too dominant.

... "Haha, I said it, Wuyuan's physical refining avatar is just dormant." The Lord of Kuachi laughed, "Now, defeating several talents of the same level in a row."

"It shows that Wuyuan is very close to breaking through to the domain level in the avenue of creation."

"The divine realm battle has lasted for nine thousand years, and maybe he will break through." The Lord of Kuachi is quite looking forward to it.

The Lord of Beiyu beside him also nodded.

...

36th Divine Realm World.

"Finally came out." Wuyuan's physical refining avatar and Law Body appeared out of thin air on a barren mountain.

He just finished his enlightenment in the Primordial Law Hall.

"A hundred years of enlightenment."

"This 'Primordial Law' is really profound." Wuyuan frowned slightly, "It's reasonable. Even in the Primordial Law Hall, wanting to achieve great success in just a hundred years is nothing but wishful thinking."

With only three thousand basic diagrams, Wuyuan was stuck. Each of those drawings was extremely complex, analyzing and combining from the most fundamental aspects of time and space.

It's difficult and profound to the limit.

It's worth noting that Wuyuan's comprehension of the avenue of time and space is quite high, almost at the level of a Monarch, and his comprehension of the "Primordial Law" has a great promotional effect on him.

But even with his full comprehension, progress is still slow.

"These two paths, although seemingly absolutely opposite, have many similarities when it comes to comprehension." Wuyuan pondered silently.

During his comprehension, he also noticed many peculiarities.

Matter, laws.

In many aspects of application, the two paths seem to be connected and coexist, but they are different from the integration between laws.

"At least."

"My comprehension of the time and space chapter of the 'Primordial Law' has given me many new insights into the avenue of time and space." Wuyuan said to himself.

This is his greatest gain, finding a glimmer of breakthrough from the bottleneck of the temporal and spatial domain where he was originally stuck.

Even though this glimmer of light is still very inconspicuous.

"Without the environment of the Primordial Law Hall, the influence on comprehending the 'Primordial Law' is great." Wuyuan shook his head inwardly, "The physical refining avatar, even after a hundred years of enlightenment, the progress in comprehending the life chapter is estimated to be less than one-tenth of the Law Body."

Consciousness is unique.

If either of the two main bodies obtains some kind of secret technique, it is naturally equivalent to the other main body obtaining it.

In the past hundred years, while Wuyuan's physical refining avatar was practicing diligently, he also devoted some of his energy to comprehend the "Primordial Law," but unfortunately, the gains were not great.

"No rush."

"The focus next will still be on killing for the physical refining avatar." Wuyuan's physical refining avatar scanned the surroundings, "Haven't killed for a hundred years, I'm afraid countless geniuses in this divine realm world have forgotten about me."

"And the Law Body will still focus on comprehending the avenue of creation, striving for an early breakthrough."

If the rules of the Universe Sky Road regard the two main bodies as the same person, then as long as one succeeds, it will be a success.

If they are not considered the same person, it's simple in Wuyuan's view.

"Just meet the requirements." Wuyuan's physical refining avatar took a step forward and merged into a higher-dimensional space.

...

"Escape!"

"It's Mingjian."

"This lunatic, he's appeared again." In the 36th Divine Realm World, another bloody storm erupted, causing many geniuses to fall into fear again.

Involuntarily recalling the horror of being dominated by Mingjian.

Even when chased by the strongest geniuses, there's a chance to escape.

But if encountered by Mingjian? There's no chance of escape.

...

In the 7th Divine Realm World.

Thousands of miles above the ground, Wuyuan's original body, dressed in black robes, was speeding forward.

"The cooperation between the Qi Refinement Avatar and the Law Body is really astonishing in efficiency."

"Just half a year back, and the number of killings has increased to fourteen hundred." Wuyuan's original body smiled, "On the contrary, the original body, after more than a hundred years of killing, has only killed two thousand or so Original Bodies and Law Bodies."

The gap in efficiency between the two sides is evident.

It also shows that accumulating one hundred thousand Original Bodies and Law Bodies within nine thousand years is quite difficult.

As he flew at high speed.

Suddenly.

Boom~ Waves of amazing spiritual energy fluctuations transmitted from the distant void.

"Hmm?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wuyuan's eyes, "Such a strong fluctuation, is it caused by strong fighters, or is it because a treasure is about to appear? The commotion is quite big."

Can't distinguish.

"Let's go!"

Wuyuan instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the source of the fluctuations.

For him, whichever it is, he cannot afford to miss it.

It's worth noting that although Wuyuan's Qi Refinement Avatar cannot use the Avenue of Time and Space, it can use the Law of Space, so covering himself with the Law of Space makes his movements very subtle during flight.

Soon.

Wuyuan approached within a hundred thousand miles, and from a distance, he saw two figures fighting in the distant void.

In the vast mountains, two super geniuses are engaged in a fierce battle.

The one on the offensive is a towering black beast, its body is pitch black, covered with scales, with three heads growing on its huge body, and four hooves treading the void, causing the void to tremble.

However.

The most eye-catching thing is its nine arms, each of which is extremely long and flexible, with double-bladed spikes at the tips, like war knives.

Attacking frantically.

The black beast is still surrounded by black mist, which seems to have an amazing binding force, making it difficult for its opponent to struggle and escape.

The one fighting against this beast is a woman dressed in silver clothes. She wears a hat, and the veil covers her beautiful face, with a cold and fierce expression, her hair fluttering.

Surrounding her, countless thunder lights swirl around, with terrifying power, covering the thunder knife, maintaining the Thunder Domain, and barely resisting the long-arm attacks of the black beast, constantly dodging.

The woman in silver clothes is at an absolute disadvantage.

Fortunately, her expertise in Thunder Law is extremely fast, her footwork is exquisite, which barely allows her to hold on until now.

However.

If the battle continues, she will undoubtedly lose.

"You can't hold on, little girl." The black beast sneered, "Hand over all your treasures, and I can consider sparing your Law Body."

"Dream on!" Zuo Haiyue said coldly.

"Then go and die." The black beast said coldly, "I, the Great Demon 'Qiamang,' have been in the Divine Realm World for so long, killing someone of your level is not the first time."

The attacks of the black beast became more ferocious, making Zuo Haiyue increasingly difficult to sustain.

"It's Haiyue."

Wuyuan's original body, hidden in the distant void, was suddenly surprised, "How did she come to the 7th Divine Realm World?"

According to the information Wuyuan had received before, Zuo Haiyue should be in the 19th Divine Realm World.

Although it's possible to reach different Divine Realm Worlds through spatial channels, there aren't many super geniuses who actually do so.

After all.

The spatial channels contain great danger, and once the original body enters, it might end up in trouble.

If it's just the Law Body or the original body going through? It's feasible, but the spatial channels are unpredictable. Even if important treasures are obtained, it's very difficult to return them to the original body.

"The one fighting with Haiyue is Qiamang?" Wuyuan's eyes brightened.

Qiamang, Abyss Demon Clan!

In the Divine Realm World, the most dazzling forces are naturally the Witch Court and the Immortal Court, with the combined strongest geniuses exceeding thirty.

Apart from these two, there's also the Abyss Demon Clan, which has produced more than ten strongest geniuses.

Of course.

The so-called Abyss Demon Clan is just a general term. Most of these strongest geniuses of the Abyss Demon Clan are also affiliated with different major forces in the abyss.

Abyss forces.

They have a completely different style of action from the cosmic forces, but this doesn't diminish their strength.

In the 7th Divine Realm World, two of the strongest geniuses, one of them being Qiamang, come from the Abyss Demon Clan.

Which universe's abyss it specifically refers to, Wuyuan is not clear about.

"The strongest geniuses!" Wuyuan's original body burned with fighting spirit, "I must have a battle."

In the past hundred years.

Wuyuan's original body has killed several super geniuses who controlled the Sovereign-Level Techniques.

It can be said that at this level, there's no great challenge for Wuyuan's original body due to its absolute advantage.

He eagerly hopes to encounter the strongest geniuses.

However, every super genius will try their best to hide their whereabouts, making it difficult to encounter them.

"Haiyue saved me back then."

"Although the original body has never interacted with Haiyue, it doesn't matter much."

"When there's a chance, she will naturally be saved. The most important thing is to be able to fight Qiamang. This opportunity cannot be missed." Wuyuan's heart burned with fighting spirit.

Even if he loses, so what? The original body can just cultivate back.

After some thought.

Boom!

Wuyuan instantly rushed out, heading towards the battlefield where the situation had reached a climax.

..."Isn't that Zuo Haiyue?"

"The top genius of the Taiyuan Divine Court, also quite remarkable. Why did she suddenly come to our 7th Divine Realm World?"

"I don't know!"

"Qiamang is indeed the strongest genius, really powerful." In fact, the astonishing fluctuations caused by the battle between Qiamang and Zuo Haiyue have attracted more than just Wuyuan.

Within tens of thousands of miles of the surrounding void, several geniuses are secretly observing.

However, they have no intention of intervening.

Suddenly.

"Qiamang, if you have the guts, come and fight me." A deep and vigorous voice resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Boom! A green light tore through the sky and the earth.

"Who's that? How dare they join the fight?"

"Challenge Qiamang?"

"Such recklessness. Even if he wants to take advantage, he should at least wait until after the fierce battle when Qiamang's strength weakens." Several geniuses immediately noticed the dazzling green light.

Incredible speed.

"It's Wuyuan!"

"Wuyuan!"

"Is it him? He has already defeated several geniuses who control sovereign-level techniques. Does he really want to challenge Qiamang, the strongest genius?"

"Is he insane?" These geniuses secretly observing the battle were dumbfounded, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Typically, only the strongest geniuses hunt down others.

And yet, Wuyuan dares to challenge actively.

...In the void, two supreme geniuses are locked in battle.

"The strongest genius! Indeed, he has comprehended the Law of Slaughter. Each of his attacks carries a soul attack, making him truly troublesome." Zuo Haiyue's eyes remained ice-cold.

She wasn't panicking.

She had been calmly considering, searching for an opportunity to escape.

"Qiamang, if you have the guts, come and fight me!" Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Immediately following, a green figure rushed forward.

Both Qiamang and Zuo Haiyue naturally noticed, as the newcomer's momentum was astonishing.

"That's..." A hint of doubt flashed in Zuo Haiyue's eyes, feeling the soul aura was very unfamiliar.

But she recognized him as Wuyuan, the supreme genius of the Witch Court.

The top genius of the 7th Divine Realm World.

"Is he challenging Qiamang? Or is he coming to help me?" Various thoughts flashed through Zuo Haiyue's mind.

"Haiyue."

"Both you and I are from the Qingling Great World, and Qiamang is from the Abyss Demon Clan. I'll help you." A deep voice sounded in Zuo Haiyue's mind.

It was a transmission from Wuyuan.

"Really helping me?" Zuo Haiyue's heart stirred, but she also thought quickly.

Is the reason really that simple?

Although it's a consensus among various forces in the river of time and space to join forces to resist the Abyss Demon Clan, there is no such consensus in the Universal Path.

The geniuses of various forces are fighting individually, giving their all to enter the second stage.

"Never mind."

"If Wuyuan doesn't help me, my Law Body will still be killed by Qiamang." Zuo Haiyue thought to herself, "If he helps me, even if there are ulterior motives, the situation won't be worse."

"Good, let's join forces!" Zuo Haiyue responded directly.

Boom!

In the midst of high-speed flight, Wuyuan suddenly moved, instantly transforming into a towering figure with black wings protruding from his back, and the black serpent also perched on his shoulder, its momentum soaring.

In the blink of an eye.

Wuyuan's original body displayed all his abilities, including the "Creation Holy Prohibition," Beast Fusion, and many other celestial-level techniques.

Since he only has one primordial beast, he cannot create duplicates.

However, this also allows his original body's strength to skyrocket to an extremely powerful level.

"Wuyuan?"

"Do you dare challenge me? Did killing Qian Baohua and the others give you confidence?" Qiamang's gaze turned cold, and one of his heads turned over, "You want to die, I'll send you to your death."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black mist surrounding Qiamang suddenly spread further into the void, and the nine arms that were originally besieging Zuo Haiyue suddenly retracted six of them.

Three arms, along with the black mist, still managed to barely trap Zuo Haiyue.

The other six arms, like six dazzling black double-edged spikes, stabbed towards Wuyuan.

From the changing attack methods, it's evident that in Qiamang's heart, Wuyuan's threat is far greater than Zuo Haiyue's.

"Boom boom boom~" The overwhelming black mist enveloped everything, intending to bind Wuyuan.

"Haha, what a joke."

"Qiamang, you, a body refiner, are also using Qi refining techniques?" Wuyuan laughed. Suddenly, Little Black, swirling around his body, opened its mouth wide towards the void, seemingly solidifying a piece of space, followed by an astonishing force.

Directly dispersing the surrounding black mist.

Obviously!

Qiamang's domain technique is weaker compared to a true powerful Qi refiner.

This is also normal.

Body refiners excel in close combat and have strong vitality. Qi refiners excel in domain binding, spells, long-range attacks, soul attacks, and so on.

"Hmph! You have some skill."

"However, challenging me is the worst decision you've made."

Qiamang's gaze turned cold. His six arms were like giant black dragons, with overwhelming momentum, pouncing towards Wuyuan.

As if wanting to crush everything before him.

As the strongest genius, especially one who has risen through countless bloody battles in the abyss of countless demons, he came to the Universal Path full of confidence.

He doesn't think highly of many geniuses from various holy places, believing them to be just flowers in a greenhouse.

Wuyuan?

He has some reputation, but Qiamang still doesn't care much. He has long regarded himself as the strongest in the 7th Divine Realm World.

Six arms like double-edged swords!

On the other side, nine knives struck together, with endless dazzling knife light.

"Clang!" "Boom!" "Boom!" A series of terrifying collisions in the fierce frontal clash produced extremely frightening shockwaves.

Huh!

Wuyuan only took one step back, with overwhelming momentum.

While Qiamang's six arms were thrown away by the blow, his huge body also staggered backward, momentarily unable to control Zuo Haiyue.

Whoosh! Zuo Haiyue dodged with a single movement, directly breaking free from Qiamang's control.

"What?"

"Wuyuan has the upper hand?"

"Qiamang is actually inferior to Wuyuan?" This scene stunned many geniuses in the surrounding void.

In this confrontation, although Qiamang didn't go all out, he is still the strongest genius.

Yet, in a head-on collision, he seems to be at a disadvantage against Wuyuan?

This! This!

"Good! Wuyuan?" Qiamang's huge body moved, all nine arms were retracted, staring firmly at Wuyuan, "You're stronger than I thought."

"Then let's see my full strength!"

Boom! Qiamang moved instantly, paying no attention to Zuo Haiyue anymore. This time, his nine arms formed a perfect offensive, as if the heavens and the earth were about to split apart.

"Kill!"

Wuyuan's fighting spirit soared, his wings trembling. He wielded his battle sword without fear and charged forward.

---

ps: Three chapters in one.

In addition to the guaranteed two chapters, there will be additional updates on 2/19.

Chapter 481: Life and Death Treasure Land

Wu Yuan, although only mastering monarch-level techniques, had a reputation no less than many of the strongest geniuses. He even consecutively defeated many geniuses who controlled monarch-level techniques.

Especially after the Refining Body Incarnation cultivated in the Divine Realm for over a hundred years, experiencing life-and-death battles time and time again, his understanding of the Dao of Creation deepened, and his strength further advanced.

He ardently desired to battle other strongest geniuses.

As for Qiamang? As the strongest genius originating from the abyss, his power would be unimaginable when fully unleashed.

"Boom!"

Nine battle knives, nine arms resembling blade-like arms, suddenly collided with rapid force, sending terrifying shockwaves in all directions.

This time!

Qiamang didn't retreat a step. On the other hand, Wu Yuan was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blade-like arms, causing even the space to tremble.

"As expected, I'm still slightly weaker in a head-on clash." Wu Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He gained the upper hand in the previous exchange because the opponent underestimated him, attacking with only six arms, whereas this time all nine arms were unleashed.

The difference between six and nine arms was astonishing.

The Nine-Armed Source Technique was a heavenly-tier technique precisely because it could form a perfect offensive.

"In terms of basic strength, I'm stronger." Wu Yuan understood this.

As an Extreme Dao foundation, after casting the "Creation Taboo" and merging with the beast, his basic strength was comparable to that of a half-step Star Sovereign.

While geniuses like Qiamang had a higher realm in the Dao, the supreme secret techniques they cultivated were not perfectly integrated with themselves, resulting in their explosive power being only comparable to that of a Ninefold Celestial Immortal.

However.

There was a significant gap between the two in terms of the Dao. The disparity between controlling monarch-level techniques and truly comprehending monarch-level principles was substantial but not insurmountable.

"Kill!" Despite being suppressed, Wu Yuan's battle intent soared as he wielded his blade to attack.

"Hum~"

With a thought, Wu Yuan directly executed the Soul Secret Technique, "Star Seal," sending a majestic wave of spiritual fluctuations smashing towards Qiamang like a giant seal.

But Qiamang remained unaffected and sneered, "Wu Yuan, you're ridiculing me for using Domain Binding against you, yet you're also a fool for using Soul Secret Techniques."

"I've been through countless life-and-death battles in the abyss, and my willpower is already comparable to a Star Sovereign. How could you shake me?" Qiamang roared.

Wu Yuan's eyes remained cold, paying no attention.

He was just testing.

The same Soul Secret Technique, when executed by the Refining Qi Incarnation and the Source Incarnation, had its power reduced by dozens of times, making it ineffective against Qiamang.

"Boom~"

The two peerless geniuses spared no effort, refraining from using any other auxiliary methods, and both sensed each other's strength, understanding that the only way to defeat the other was through close combat!

With their strongest close combat techniques, they determined the outcome.

Breaking through myriad laws!

"Clang!"

"Clang! Clang!" The ferocious battle between the two was intense. Both unleashed multiple heavenly-tier Source Techniques, fighting with all their might.

Wu Yuan's sword light was continuous and unending, seeming to be able to withstand anything and exuding an unprecedented sense of sorrow in the flow of life.

"The Fourth Form of Life and Death Intent—Autumn Grief!"

In the past, whenever Wu Yuan unleashed this move, he could sweep away all opponents, earning him the title of God of Slaughter.

But this time, Wu Yuan met his match.

Qiamang's attacks were nimble, sometimes resembling swordsmanship and sometimes spear technique. However, regardless of the attack method, they all epitomized ultimate destruction.

In attack against attack, he managed to suppress Wu Yuan, even forcing him to retreat steadily.

Just as life laws and wood laws, earth laws, had commonalities.

The law of slaughter, essentially the combination of parts of the three upper-level laws—lightning, metal, and spatial laws—pursued destruction!

The essential difference between the laws of slaughter and the laws of death lay in their ultimate destructiveness.

Therefore.

Those who comprehended the law of slaughter were incredibly frenzied once they entered battle.

"Kill! Kill!" Qiamang's eyes seemed to burn with fury. As a demon of the abyss, he naturally resonated with the law of slaughter. This battle had awakened his ferocity even more.

"I can't counterattack with attacks."

"I'm already slightly weaker, and continuing to exchange attacks would only play into the enemy's hands." Wu Yuan quickly realized this and changed his sword technique in an instant.

Instead of direct confrontation, he shifted to defense and dissipation.

At the same time, the wings behind Wu Yuan vibrated, his body moved mysteriously, and he leveraged his advantage in the spatial law, making it difficult for Qiamang to pursue him.

"Roar~" Little Black roared continuously and occasionally launched attacks. Its attack power was weak, but its spatial restraint somewhat hindered Qiamang, making it more difficult for him to chase Wu Yuan.

For a moment.

Although Wu Yuan was still at a disadvantage, he was no longer in danger and could even be said to have the upper hand.

"Boom!"

Wu Yuan floated backward, once again dodging Qiamang's attacks.

"Wu Yuan, if you have the guts, don't run." Qiamang angrily growled, realizing Wu Yuan's toughness.

"Idiot." Wu Yuan sneered, still entangled in combat with Qiamang.

Slow to describe.

In reality, the battle between Wu Yuan and Qiamang changed rapidly, locking horns in less than a breath, a scene that also shocked several geniuses secretly watching.

"Qiamang, faintly ranking first in the Seventh Divine Realm, is extremely terrifying."

"Wu Yuan, managing to hold his ground?"

"Controlling only monarch-level techniques and easily withstanding the strongest geniuses?" These observing geniuses had insights comparable to Star Sovereigns and could discern some mysteries.

Qiamang's attacks were terrifying, a blend of sword and spear techniques, mysterious and unpredictable, truly worthy of the title of strongest genius.

If it were them, they would probably be killed in one or two moves.

Yet Wu Yuan managed to hold his own, slightly at a disadvantage against Qiamang.

This was quite astonishing.

In many divine realms, when the strongest geniuses faced other geniuses, they were almost always dominant. Being able to withstand for a period of time was considered good.

"Can Wu Yuan really hold off the strongest geniuses?"

"Zhuo Haiyue is involved, she didn't take the opportunity to flee."

"They're starting to team up." Many geniuses witnessed this scene.

In the void.

As Wu Yuan and Qiamang engaged in fierce combat, Zhuo Haiyue, after freeing herself from confinement and adjusting her condition, immediately turned around and manipulated her treasures to join the fray.

"This Wu Yuan can actually hold back Qiamang." Zhuo Haiyue was also astonished by Wu Yuan's strength.

She could have escaped, but she had her pride. How could she flee when Wu Yuan had saved her?

"Boom~"

Countless flying knives filled the sky, each exuding lightning, interweaving thunderous patterns, enveloping the vast void in an instant.

The domain of lightning directly engulfed both Wu Yuan and Qiamang.

However, these thunder and lightning were auxiliary and empowering for Wu Yuan. For Qiamang, they were restraints, with layers of lightning striking at him.

"Get lost!" Qiamang roared, his aura exploding, but the domain he unleashed quickly dissipated.

Although he was the strongest genius, how could the domain he displayed match Zhuo Haiyue, a Qi Refiner?

Crackling~

Countless bolts of lightning struck Qiamang's body surface, almost negligible in threat but slightly affecting his speed, forcing him to divert some of his strength to resist.

"Kill!"

Wu Yuan felt the thunderous aura around him, sensing his sword technique growing more powerful.

With this addition and subtraction, the original slight gap between Wu Yuan and Qiamang narrowed even further.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" The two collided repeatedly in the sea of thunder unleashed by Zhuo Haiyue. Not only could Wu Yuan easily defend, but occasionally, he could even counterattack.

"Damn Zhuo Haiyue." Qiamang roared in anger.

If Zhuo Haiyue chose to attack him, she would pose little threat, but her full deployment of domain spells to assist Wu Yuan had a significant impact.

At this moment, with Zhuo Haiyue and Wu Yuan teaming up, they were no longer afraid of this strongest genius.

The two sides fought for quite a while.

"Wu Yuan's sword technique is becoming increasingly proficient, truly an unparalleled genius." Qiamang couldn't help but feel astonished.

He knew how short Wu Yuan's cultivation time was, yet he had reached such a level, indicating his high comprehension.

"I have no hope of winning in this kind of battle. I'll only become his whetstone."

"Let's go." Qiamang, too, was decisive. Seeing no hope of killing Wu Yuan, his nine arms suddenly burst forth, thrusting towards Wu Yuan and causing him to retreat slightly.

Before Wu Yuan could react, Qiamang suddenly retreated backward, escaping from Zhuo Haiyue's thunderous domain.

Since the beginning of the fight, Qiamang had been on the offensive, so his sudden retreat took both Wu Yuan and Zhuo Haiyue by surprise.

"Whoosh!"

Qiamang's figure blurred, turning into a black rainbow and fleeing far away in an instant.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles away, with his speed still soaring.

"Qiamang actually took the initiative to retreat?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that Ga Mang would actually take the initiative to escape.

In this way, he couldn't even make use of the advantage of his extreme realm foundation.

"No way to chase!"

"I've consumed a lot of mana before, maintaining this kind of domain spell, it's hard to sustain it continuously," Zhuo Haiyue transmitted to Wu Yuan.

With a thought, she had already retracted many flying knives and arrived by Wu Yuan's side.

"Mm."

"Even if we join forces, we can only barely match Ga Mang, not to mention winning," Wu Yuan shook his head.

He had a clear understanding of his own abilities. In such a confrontation, his source power would deplete even faster, and the outcome of life and death was uncertain.

However.

This battle also roughly made Wu Yuan understand his own strength limit. If it was a one-on-one situation, relying on a stronger foundation and extreme realm foundation, there was a possibility of victory against these strongest geniuses in a life-and-death struggle.

"Let's leave this place first," Zhuo Haiyue said.

"Mm," Wu Yuan nodded.

Swoosh! Swoosh! The two of them turned into two streaks of light and quickly disappeared into another direction in the sky.

"He actually forced Ga Mang to retreat."

"That's the strongest genius."

"Although it's two people working together, it's still amazing," several geniuses who were secretly observing were astonished.

For Ga Mang to be put in such a predicament was extremely rare. In their expectations, it would be normal for Wu Yuan and Zhuo Haiyue to die in this battle.

"Zhuo Haiyue is formidable, but she's not much different from Qian Baohua and Xuan Rong at their level."

"The key is Wu Yuan!"

"Yes, even without Zhuo Haiyue, he has been fighting Ga Mang for quite a while, and with Zhuo Haiyue's assistance, Ga Mang chose to retreat," these geniuses were all amazed and impressed.

...

In the seventh divine realm world, at the edge of an inconspicuous lake.

The surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the sunlight, which made it beautiful.

"Wu Yuan, this is our first meeting, thank you for helping me," Zhuo Haiyue smiled and said, "If there's a chance in the future, I will repay you for this kindness."

"Okay," Wu Yuan smiled.

In the past, the only contact Zhuo Haiyue had was with the Qi Refining Avatar. Initially, it was under the identity of Li Xia, and later as Ming Jian. Despite the name changes, they were essentially the same Qi Refining Avatar.

As for the Body Refining Avatar? Initially, it had always been in the Xia Shan World, and later arrived in the Witch Realm. The two sides had never come into contact.

Now.

Even the Sovereign couldn't distinguish between Wu Yuan's two avatars, so naturally, Zhuo Haiyue couldn't either.

"I'll take my leave first," Zhuo Haiyue clasped her hands.

Wu Yuan nodded.

Swoosh! Zhuo Haiyue turned into a streak of light and quickly left. She was also puzzled in her heart. Why did Wu Yuan save her for no reason? But since Wu Yuan didn't say anything, she didn't bother to investigate further.

Separation between parties was also normal. Only weak geniuses would choose to ally for self-preservation.

Top-tier geniuses like them mostly ventured alone.

The reason was simple—opportunity!

If they encountered significant opportunities or important treasures, and there was only one, how would they split it? Instead of fighting over it later and damaging their relationship, it was better to venture alone early on.

"Let's summarize this battle first, restore our source power, no rush," Wu Yuan thought to himself, directly sitting down by the lake.

Quietly adjusting his breath.

Meanwhile, his Qi Refining Avatar, which had been in seclusion, continued to ponder over this battle.

The battle with Ga Mang, though short, had a significant impact on Wu Yuan, revealing many shortcomings in his swordsmanship.

From mastering Sovereign-level techniques to breaking through Sovereign-level insights, it was fundamentally a process of continuous accumulation.

Accumulate steadily.

There would eventually be a breakthrough day, and the deeper the accumulation, the more rapid the growth would be once the breakthrough occurred.

...

When Wu Yuan's Source Avatar and Zhuo Haiyue parted ways.

Quickly.

Several geniuses who were secretly observing the battle relayed the news of this battle to their respective forces, causing quite a stir.

"Wu Yuan's strength is stronger than intelligence anticipated, to be able to fight Ga Mang to this extent."

"He, in terms of direct combat strength, is probably second only to the strongest geniuses."

"He's probably close to breaking through," the highest levels of various sacred forces were astonished.

They all realized the enormous threat posed by Wu Yuan.

He's already this strong before the breakthrough.

What about after the breakthrough? He might immediately be able to defeat many of the strongest geniuses.

The so-called strongest geniuses also vary in strength.

"Wu Ting, there's already a Candle Mountain, we absolutely won't allow Wu Yuan to rise completely."

"Everyone, head to the seventh divine realm world."

"Seize the opportunity, find Wu Yuan's avatars, and kill him." The highest level of the Immortal Court directly issued orders to their strongest geniuses.

In the minds of the highest level of the Immortal Court, the level of threat posed by Wu Yuan was rapidly escalating, surpassing all other strongest geniuses in the Wu Ting.

Second only to Candle Mountain.

"Wu Yuan?"

"Kill his avatars?" Over a dozen of the Immortal Court's strongest geniuses immediately began to dispatch their avatars to the seventh divine realm world.

However, the spatial passages between different divine realm worlds are random and not fixed.

Therefore, these strongest geniuses needed some luck and time to arrive at the seventh divine realm world.

...

Time passed, year after year.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years had passed.

Wars erupted among the super geniuses, with more talents rising to fame.

At the same time, more avatars of geniuses either encountered death in certain treasures or were discovered by other geniuses, leading to inevitable conflicts.

This was the cruelty of the Universal Path. In theory, many avatars of geniuses could continuously cultivate and participate in battles, but accidents always occurred.

More and more participating geniuses truly fell.

It must be understood that participating geniuses were at least capable of becoming Star Monarchs. Once they died, it was silent and unobtrusive.

In the ninth divine realm world.

"I didn't expect even Huh Biao to die." Wu Yuan's Source Avatar walked in the void, silently feeling emotional.

After spending a thousand years in the Universal Path, he became more accustomed to this life of killing.

He became more accustomed to life and death.

Many familiar friends had truly died.

For example, the Mist Sword of the Wu Ting seemed to have fallen into a 'life and death treasure land' and eventually died completely.

As for Huh Biao of the Taiyuan Divine Court, as a limit insighter of the Star Monarch level, he was highly valued by the Taiyuan Divine Court and was likely to become a Monarch in the future.

However, his avatar was inadvertently noticed by a strongest genius and relentlessly pursued, ultimately leading to his death.

The Sovereigns, Heart Cliff and Shan Jin, were both furious. Talents like Huh Biao were scarce in the entire Taiyuan Divine Court. They couldn't afford such losses!

But what use was anger?

What use was talent?

Once dead, everything was in vain!

"I'm only one step away from breaking through the Dao Domain, but I can't seem to break through that last barrier." Wu Yuan's Source Avatar frowned slightly.

A thousand years.

He had initially spent a few hundred years in the seventh divine realm world, but in the centuries after the battle with Ga Mang, he encountered the strongest geniuses of the Immortal Court twice. Both sides engaged in frantic battles.

In the end, these two strongest geniuses of the Immortal Court couldn't do anything to Wu Yuan.

Finally, after returning many treasures he obtained to his Body Refining Avatar once, Wu Yuan's Source Avatar began to travel to other divine realm worlds through the spatial passages.

After successive battles in other divine realm worlds like the seventeenth and ninth, Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar's reputation grew bigger and bigger.

On the other hand, his Qi Refining Avatar had been cultivating in the divine realm worlds for thousands of years, and the influence of the original material was equivalent to three or four thousand years of cultivation.

With their combined efforts, Wu Yuan's accumulation became deeper and his strength grew stronger.

In the recent hundred years, Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar had reached a limit where further progress seemed impossible.

Perhaps with one opportunity.

One sudden insight, and he could complete the breakthrough.

"However, if luck isn't on my side, it's normal to be trapped in this realm for tens of thousands of years." Wu Yuan's Source Avatar frowned slightly.

This step of breaking through to the Sovereign level insight, even for geniuses, no one dared to say that they could definitely break through quickly.

"However."

"My Qi Refining Avatar is very close to reaching the goal." Wu Yuan's Source Avatar sighed inwardly.

After a thousand years of killing, Wu Yuan's Source Avatar had killed over twenty thousand avatars. The efficiency decreased as time went on.

And his Qi Refining Avatar and Source Avatar had entered the 'Original Law Palace' several times.

It could be said that for half of the time in the Universal Path, Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar and Source Avatar spent it in the Original Law Palace, constantly comprehending the "Original Laws".

And with the remaining time, relying on achievements on the Time-Space Avenue, until now, he has still slaughtered over eighty thousand avatars.

The number approaching one hundred thousand for entering the second stage is getting closer and closer.

"The path of cultivation is unpredictable."

"Fog Sword, Huh Biao, they can only serve as warnings." Wu Yuan's Source Avatar murmured, "There must be stronger strength. With strength like Candle Mountain, what danger is there to fear?"

One could completely rampage through the Universal Path.

A thousand years passed.

More and more strongest geniuses clashed, and their strengths and weaknesses became increasingly apparent.

Candle Mountain could be said to be unmatched.

He had begun to explore different divine realm worlds. In the past thousand years, nearly twenty of the strongest geniuses had fought him, and almost no one could withstand more than ten moves against him.

Most were killed within a few moves.

Only one person—Wu Chang!

He was the only strongest genius who had escaped alive from Candle Mountain's hands.

On the other hand, Wu Chang had also maintained a perfect record in battles against nearly ten other strongest geniuses besides Candle Mountain, also establishing his reputation.

Now, Candle Mountain was recognized as the strongest.

Second only to Candle Mountain was Wu Chang.

"Fate is unpredictable. Comprehending the Avenue of Fate is truly terrifying." Wu Yuan pondered silently, "According to intelligence, Wu Chang almost always finishes the fight with a single move. Some of the strongest geniuses can't even withstand a single move. I wonder if I can withstand his special attacks."

The opponent was too mysterious and powerful.

So far, even the Wu Ting hadn't been able to trace Wu Chang's origins.

That's how mysterious he was.

Although Wu Yuan was confident in his own soul and will, he dared not say he could definitely withstand the opponent's attacks.

"Hmm?"

Wu Yuan's Source Avatar suddenly sensed a shocking surge of spiritual energy from far away in the void.

"A treasure? A middle-grade Dao artifact?" Wu Yuan's eyes lit up. Such an astonishing fluctuation probably indicated a valuable treasure.

With a movement, Wu Yuan quickly rushed over.

Not long after.

Wu Yuan saw in the distance on the barren plain a jade plaque shrouded in thick fog slowly emerging.

The mist was dissipating.

And around the jade plaque, there were hundreds of immortals and gods madly fighting each other.

They were vaguely divided into five or six teams, appearing extremely chaotic.

"The treasure hasn't emerged yet?" Wu Yuan's eyes lit up. If the treasure had already emerged and been taken by someone else, there would be nothing he could do.

But if it hadn't been taken yet, it was simple—just kill this group of geniuses.

Boom!

Wu Yuan burst forth directly, transforming into a towering giant, plunging towards the group of geniuses in the midst of the chaotic battle.

The majestic and boundless aura immediately caught the attention of many geniuses in the fierce battle.

"Not good, it's Wu Yuan!"

"It's him."

"Run." Someone recognized Wu Yuan and was immediately frightened.

"Escape!"

"Run fast." The hundreds of geniuses who were still fighting, as if mice encountering a cat, immediately dispersed, fleeing frantically in all directions.

Not one dared to stay.

After a thousand years of life and death battles, Wu Yuan had already made most geniuses realize that numerical superiority was difficult to deal with.

Whoosh!

Swish, swish! Blades flashed, green light washed over the sky, as Wu Yuan made a forceful move, directly killing several slower fleeing immortals.

Reputation was forged with blood.

Without slaughter, how could one inspire fear?

Immediately, Wu Yuan arrived at the place where the jade plaque emerged, and the mist surrounding the jade plaque was rapidly dissipating.

However, the invisible rules still prevented Wu Yuan from probing.

"This jade plaque?" Wu Yuan could only stand aside, carefully sensing. He felt that the jade plaque was as elusive as the surrounding mist, difficult to see through.

Very mysterious.

But obviously it's a treasure.

"What's that treasure?"

"Not sure." Many of the fleeing geniuses chose to leave, while a few reckless ones chose to stay more than a hundred thousand miles away, trying to see clearly what the jade plaque was.

Time passed.

Other participating geniuses also sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy from the heavens and earth rushing over, but when they saw that Wu Yuan was guarding the jade plaque, none of them dared to approach.

Another half hour passed.

Finally.

The mist shrouding the jade plaque completely dissipated, and the invisible rules also dissipated.

"Phew!"

Wu Yuan reached out and directly grabbed the jade plaque, feeling a chill in his hand.

Subconsciously, a strand of Wu Yuan's divine sense entered the interior of the jade plaque, intending to explore its mysteries.

And just as Wu Yuan's divine sense poured in.

"Life and death treasure."

"Only those who pass the test can leave alive!"

"In this battle, both this avatar and the source avatar will enter together. Success gains opportunity, failure means death." A cold voice resounded in Wu Yuan's mind, "Be prepared, three, two..."

Life and death treasure?

Wu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, instantly shocked. Even geniuses like Fog Sword had died in the life and death treasure.

Was this jade plaque the key to entering the life and death treasure?

But Wu Yuan had no time to think.

"One!" With the cold voice, Wu Yuan's Source Avatar, along with the jade plaque, disappeared on the spot.

At the same moment.

In the Seventh Realm, under the concealment of the barrier to cover divine senses.

Buzz~ Wu Yuan's Body Refinement Avatar also disappeared instantly.
