On Wuxin Peak, beneath the Supreme Sword, streaks of power that seemed to pierce heaven and earth soared into the sky like majestic lions. Various forces continuously erupted outwards. The terrifying energy, carrying scorching flames, madly rushed towards Ye Chu. Wherever it passed, massive boulders were reduced to ashes.
These were terrifying flames. Ye Chu did not doubt in the slightest that if an ordinary person were caught in them, their body and soul would be annihilated in an instant.
Even though Ye Chu was exceptionally tough, he dared not let such scorching flames burn him.
Ye Chu swung his arm. Sword beams erupted outwards, enveloping the entire space and shooting fiercely towards his opponent.
The two forces met, resulting in a massive collision. A terrifying sound reverberated outwards. Ye Chu’s sword beams continued in an endless stream, ultimately blocking the raging lion-like energy of his opponent and preventing it from advancing any further. A cold sneer appeared on Ye Chu’s lips. His sword beams continued to surge forth relentlessly. With every swing, they struck with terrifying sword intent, and every impact shattered the heavens and the earth.
Tan Cang had not expected Ye Chu to possess such power. He snorted, a look of disdain on his face, and said, “Not bad, you managed to block that strike of mine. However, that was merely my most ordinary attack. How about you try this one?”
As he spoke, his body constantly surged with energy, emitting strange and loud noises. With each tremor of sound, terrifying power coursed through him. Every surge of energy caused the void around him to distort and warp.
These waves of force trembled with unparalleled fury, suddenly crashing down upon Ye Chu and swallowing everything in the surroundings.
Tan Miaotong watched from the side, her heart pounding with fear. She had seen Ye Chu fight against the Bamboo Emperor and knew Ye Chu was not weak. However, Tan Cang was much stronger than the Bamboo Emperor. Ye Chu had narrowly defeated the Bamboo Emperor in the past, but he might not be so lucky against Tan Cang.
Tan Cang’s power instantly engulfed the area, shattering the surroundings, and Ye Chu’s figure was completely swallowed.
“How will you block this move of mine?” Tan Cang snorted, watching as Ye Chu was covered by his power.
But soon his expression changed, and his arm suddenly shot out violently towards a certain direction.
“Boom…” With that collision, Tan Cang took several steps back. Looking over, he saw that Ye Chu had also been blasted away. There was no trace of Ye Chu in the place where his power had just engulfed.
Ye Chu moved his feet, leaving intricate patterns with every step. His speed was jaw-dropping.
Ou Yi and Jin Wawa watched the steps Ye Chu took. Their hearts leapt in shock, and they stared at him blankly, their eyes full of disbelief. “The Supreme Law?”
With their exceptional eyesight, even though Ye Chu was currently displaying less than a tenth of the Supreme Law’s speed, they still recognised it.
“The Instant Wind Art!” Ou Yi and Jin Wawa exchanged a glance. Watching Ye Chu flash continuously through the void, they identified the origin of the Supreme Law. “This kid is so lucky to have obtained this footwork technique. With it, he will not suffer any disadvantage in speed.”
“However, he has not fully comprehended the Supreme Law after all. For a King realm expert to fight against an Emperor realm expert, there will certainly be difficulties.” Ou Yi and Jin Wawa smiled. They were quite interested in seeing Ye Chu get beaten.
Ye Chu dodged the strike, and the sword intent on his body erupted completely. The Burial Void Sword Art surged forth, filling the sky with flying sword intent that continuously shot towards Tan Cang. Thousands of blooms of sword intent unfolded, carrying a dense and intense aura, all rolling towards Tan Cang.
Ou Yi watched this scene and nodded. “His cultivation of sword intent is quite good. To have trained the Flourishing Like Brocade technique to this level in such a short time is truly monstrous. In this battle, Ye Chu actually has a chance of winning. There is still a sliver of opportunity.”
Tan Cang blocked the continuously surging sword intent raining down from Ye Chu. Light radiated brilliantly from his body, and a majestic lion burst forth, emitting divine radiance. It roared continuously, its ferocious aura surging directly outwards as it bared its claws and fangs, lunging straight for Ye Chu’s vital points. “Do you think this will work? I will take your life with a mere raise of my hand!”
A thunderclap rang out in the sky. Flames shot out from the lion, causing the void to tremble violently. Strange power surged forth, transforming into beams of light that shot towards Ye Chu’s vitals.
Ye Chu’s expression changed. He used Sword Slaughter to block the opponent. Coordinating it with the Fiend Spirit Art, he combined his forces to block the incoming beams of light.
“Boom…”
With a loud crash, Ye Chu was blasted away. He managed to avoid his vitals, but his body still suffered a stinging, burning pain from the glancing blow.
This scene made Tan Cang snort. “Still not admitting defeat? The next time will not be so simple. You might end up lying down!”
“That depends on your skill!” As Ye Chu spoke, his fingers flicked. The Breathless Sword erupted outwards, tearing through the void with a sharp whistling sound and shooting towards his opponent from all directions.
Ou Yi and Jin Wawa’s eyes lit up. “Ye Chu has actually learned the Fiend Spirit Art. Hmm, several types of Fiend Spirit Art are erupting together. It seems his understanding of it is quite profound. He has likely truly entered the circle of the Fiend Spirit Realm.”
Ye Chu was unaware of their surprise. Various powers from both sides continuously surged outwards, and every clash was intensely fierce.
Loud explosions rang out constantly. The two fought more and more frantically, with unparalleled intensity, and Ye Chu fought until he spat blood.
After all, Ye Chu was only at the King realm, and the gap between him and his opponent was too vast. Even by shaking his realm of intent, he could barely withstand it.
“You are no match for me. If we keep fighting, it will not just be coughing up blood.” Tan Cang stared at Ye Chu, the disdain on his lips growing deeper. He admitted Ye Chu was strong, perhaps unrivaled among Kings, but against an Emperor, he could not make waves.
He was currently completely suppressing Ye Chu, beating him until he continuously coughed up blood.
“Do you think winning is this easy?” Ye Chu laughed loudly, disregarding the blood at the corner of his mouth. “The Profound Truth of Seizing!”
The Profound Truth of Seizing surged forth. Ye Chu plundered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing his realm of intent to surge several times over. Meanwhile, Tan Cang’s power weakened slightly, and his realm of intent was also suppressed. Tan Cang, who had been completely suppressing Ye Chu, now found fighting him less effortless than before.
“A Profound Truth!” Jin Wawa and Ou Yi suddenly stared at Ye Chu. A possibility crossed their minds, and they both turned their gaze to the Supreme Sword. Only this could explain how Ye Chu managed to learn a Profound Truth.
“Did Ye Chu obtain it from the Supreme Intent? Did the Love Saint truly comprehend a Profound Truth? Did he comprehend the mysteries of this heaven and earth?” Both Jin Wawa and Ou Yi felt their throats go dry. They swallowed hard and stared straight at Ye Chu.
A Profound Truth was too terrifying. Even they could not remain calm. Among the Supremes, only a handful could comprehend such truths. Each one was a legend among legends. And now, a Profound Truth stood right before them. If they could learn it, the results would be…
Thinking of this, their eyes burned with intense heat.
“This kid’s comprehension is truly remarkable. He actually managed to learn a Profound Truth!” Jin Wawa muttered, wondering if they had underestimated Ye Chu before. For Ye Chu to cultivate to this level relying on his own abilities was absolutely extraordinary.
Tan Cang was also alarmed. He did not know what cultivation method had the miraculous effect of diminishing one while enhancing the other. Under these circumstances, he found it extremely difficult to deal with Ye Chu.
