Chapter 136: Ye Tianming Flees the Battle!

The Third Law of All Beings!

　　The moment the Third Law was completed, the expression on the Lord of All Tribes instantly became incomparably grave — not only because this entire true spacetime had shattered and been annihilated, but because from the Law of All Beings before Ye Tianming, he had sensed a terrifyingly powerful force!

　　A force capable of threatening him!

　　What kind of force was that?

　　The Lord of All Tribes was extremely curious — just what had this little brother of his come up with? But he had no time to dwell on it, because the Heavenly Dao will that had just appeared between heaven and earth was growing stronger and stronger.

　　Just as he was about to make his move, Ye Tianming below suddenly waved his hand. “Stand down.”

　　The moment those words fell, the Heavenly Dao will instantly receded like a tide.

　　”What the hell?”

　　Witnessing this, the Lord of All Tribes’ eyes instantly went wide as copper bells. He stared at Ye Tianming in disbelief. “Little brother, you…….”

　　Ye Tianming smiled and explained, “One of our own.”

　　Lord of All Tribes: “…….”

　　Ye Tianming glanced at his Third Law, then put the Law of All Beings away. “Big brother, let’s go.”

　　The Lord of All Tribes nodded and led Ye Tianming onward.

　　Along the way, the Lord of All Tribes couldn’t help but ask, “Fourth brother, what was that just now?”

　　Ye Tianming said, “The Third Law I wrote.”

　　The Lord of All Tribes was puzzled. “Third Law?”

　　Ye Tianming nodded.

　　The Lord of All Tribes didn’t press further. He knew this was certainly Ye Tianming’s trump card.

　　But Ye Tianming directly handed the Law of All Beings to the Lord of All Tribes. “Big brother, take a look.”

　　The Lord of All Tribes was slightly taken aback, but he didn’t refuse. He took it and looked it over — and the moment he did, his expression became incomparably grave. He turned to look at Ye Tianming. “Fourth brother, you’re truly twisted. You’re almost catching up to third sister.”

　　Ye Tianming smiled but said nothing.

　　The Little Pagoda suddenly asked, “Little one, what kind of law is this Third Law of yours? What can it do?”

　　Ye Tianming smiled faintly. “Pagoda Ancestor, that’s classified for now.”

　　Little Pagoda: “…….”

　　After the Lord of All Tribes returned the Law of All Beings to Ye Tianming, he led him onward. About an hour later, the two brothers arrived at a world of primordial chaos. At a glance, the stars and cosmos were all blurry and indistinct, shrouded in a haze.

　　Ye Tianming was somewhat puzzled. “Big brother, what is this place?”

　　The Lord of All Tribes pointed into the distance. “Look over there.”

　　Ye Tianming followed the direction he pointed, and at the far end of his line of sight, he saw a boundless expanse of blood-red mist.

　　Ye Tianming said, “Is this the ‘True Tribulation Domain’?”

　　The Lord of All Tribes nodded. “Yes. This is an ownerless tribulation domain. Within it exist tribulations of truth spanning billions of years. What we need to do is enter it and bathe in those tribulations of truth.”

　　Ye Tianming’s eyelid twitched. “Big brother, do you think I can handle it?”

　　The Lord of All Tribes laughed. “I can help you. In this world, those who surpass me in the way of the physical body can be counted on one hand.”

　　Hearing this, Ye Tianming immediately grew a little excited. “I’ll follow your lead, big brother.”

　　The Lord of All Tribes said, “However, to enter it, we must break through a barrier not far from here. My past-self form isn’t strong enough, so I’ll need to borrow that sword of yours.”

　　Ye Tianming took out the Dao-Walking Sword. “This sword?”

　　The Lord of All Tribes nodded. “Precisely. That sword of yours can break this barrier.”

　　Ye Tianming looked up into the distance. He could sense that a thousand zhang away, there was a special barrier blocking their path.

　　Ye Tianming said, “Just break straight through it?”

　　The Lord of All Tribes said, “Yes.”

　　Ye Tianming raised his hand and struck with a single sword. The sword light tore through the air, and in the distance, that barrier was ripped apart as easily as a sheet of brittle paper.

　　Witnessing this, Ye Tianming lowered his head and took a long, deep look at the Dao-Walking Sword. He said nothing, and simply put it away in silence.

　　The Lord of All Tribes immediately said, “Let’s go.”

　　With that, he took Ye Tianming and the two vanished from the spot. When they reappeared, they were already within that sea of clouds.

　　The moment they entered the cloud sea, Ye Tianming felt wave after wave of terrifying tribulation thunder pressure — and he had felt it from far away.

　　At this moment, Ye Tianming could barely breathe, as though millions of mountains were pressing down on his body.

　　Beside him, the Lord of All Tribes burst into laughter, his eyes full of excitement. “Worthy of being the True Tribulation Domain…… Fourth brother, come on, follow me to the core region to bathe in the tribulations of truth……”

　　With that, he grabbed Ye Tianming and charged toward the core region in the distance.

　　Ye Tianming hurriedly said, “Big brother, I can’t hold on!”

　　He was perfectly clear that at his current level of strength, forget the core region — even moving a little further forward might finish him off.

　　Hearing Ye Tianming’s words, the Lord of All Tribes immediately slapped his own forehead. “Ah, big brother almost forgot your physical body is still quite weak.”

　　Ye Tianming smiled bitterly.

　　The Lord of All Tribes suddenly opened his palm, and a scroll drifted over to Ye Tianming. “Here, take this. Learn it right now.”

　　Ye Tianming was a little puzzled. “This is?”

　　The Lord of All Tribes smiled. “The human-demon physical cultivation method I created back in the day!”

　　”Human-demon?”

　　The Little Pagoda suddenly spoke up. “This……”

　　The Lord of All Tribes smiled. “Is there a problem?”

　　The Little Pagoda said, “No…… problem.”

　　Ye Tianming opened the scroll, and the moment he did, a white light sank between his brows. In an instant, a flood of information poured into his sea of consciousness.

　　Indestructible Body:

　　Use the body as a seed, temper oneself through tribulations, survive ten thousand battles without death, untouched by the passage of time, eternally indestructible.

　　After a long, long while, Ye Tianming withdrew his thoughts. He looked toward the Lord of All Tribes nearby. “Big brother, you created this technique yourself?”

　　The Lord of All Tribes smiled. “Yes, I created it when I was twelve.”

　　Ye Tianming nodded. “Impressive, truly impressive. I think there are some parts that could be tweaked……”

　　As he said this, he suddenly realized something was off and quickly stopped himself.

　　The Lord of All Tribes was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing. “Fourth brother, you truly are extraordinarily gifted. Don’t overthink it — between brothers like us, what can’t be said? Wherever it needs changing, go right ahead and change it. As your big brother, I’d only be happy.”

　　Ye Tianming smiled. “Big brother, I just have a few small ideas…….”

　　The Lord of All Tribes cut him off directly and said earnestly, “Fourth brother, there’s no need to tread so carefully. Between brothers, what matters is being open and aboveboard. If you’re tiptoeing around everything, what’s the fun in that? Say whatever you have to say directly — no need to be cautious or roundabout. With you, big brother will also say whatever is on my mind.”

　　Ye Tianming nodded. “Alright, I’ll do as big brother says.”

　　The Lord of All Tribes smiled. “So what’s your idea?”

　　Ye Tianming thought for a moment, then said, “Big brother’s technique uses tribulations to temper oneself. My idea is — what if we turn tribulations into gains instead…… Simply put, devour the tribulations. Not only use the body as a seed, but also use the body as a tribulation itself, merging all the tribulations of the world into one’s own body……”

　　The Lord of All Tribes stared at Ye Tianming for a moment, then gave a thumbs up. “Fourth brother, your mind is something else…… Want to try it in a bit?”

　　Ye Tianming smiled. “That’s exactly what I had in mind.”

　　No matter how good an idea was, it still needed to be verified — but he had confidence.

　　The Lord of All Tribes smiled. “Then try it in the outer region first. If it works, slowly move closer to the core region……”

　　Ye Tianming said, “Deal!”

　　With that, he walked to the side and sat down, then began circulating the Lord of All Tribes’ technique.

　　The Lord of All Tribes, however, did not head to the core region. Instead, he reached out and grabbed a bolt of tribulation thunder right out of the air, then casually tossed it toward Ye Tianming.

　　Ye Tianming: “…….”

　　Boom!

　　In an instant, Ye Tianming’s body was completely engulfed by that bolt of tribulation thunder.

　　”Ahhh!”

　　A piercing, agonized scream suddenly rang out from within that mass of tribulation thunder.

　　Seeing this, the Lord of All Tribes burst into laughter.

　　At this moment, Ye Tianming was in absolute agony, because he discovered that when those bolts of tribulation thunder landed on his body, the Lord of All Tribes’ technique immediately dispersed them in a special way, then channeled them into every limb and bone within his body. It could be said that right now, deep within every inch of his skin — including his blood — there were minute traces of tribulation thunder constantly tempering him.

　　This method of body refinement was even more terrifying than what he had experienced back with the Heavenly Dragon Clan!

　　The Lord of All Tribes looked at the suffering Ye Tianming and smiled. “Fourth brother, you have to hold on. If you pass out right now, everything will have been for nothing.”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, gritting his teeth and holding on. Fortunately, he had previously endured the overwhelming pressure of the Ancestor of Evil Beasts and the God of War, so even though he was in agony right now, this level of pain was not enough to crush his will.

　　Seeing that Ye Tianming had held on, the Lord of All Tribes smiled. He reached out at will, grabbed another bolt of true tribulation thunder right out of the air, and in an instant, hurled it straight at Ye Tianming.

　　Ye Tianming: “…….”

　　After enduring more than ten bolts of true tribulation thunder, Ye Tianming began to adapt. At the same time, his body quietly began to undergo a qualitative transformation.

　　In just two hours, his body had already changed beyond recognition. Not only that, Ye Tianming began attempting to fuse the Indestructible Body technique with his own Tianming Jue. It took him only a single day to merge the two, and from there, the process shifted from tempering to devouring and absorbing.

　　Witnessing this, the Lord of All Tribes was first stunned, then burst out laughing. “My fourth brother is truly a genius.”

　　Before long, Ye Tianming and the Lord of All Tribes had already entered the depths of the True Tribulation Domain to cultivate. At first, Ye Tianming was naturally not yet capable of withstanding those terrifying true tribulation thunderbolts, but fortunately the Lord of All Tribes was there to protect him, so no serious harm came to him.

　　Not long after, once the Lord of All Tribes saw that Ye Tianming had grown capable of adapting to the true tribulation thunderbolts in the area, he himself began devouring the surrounding true tribulation thunder.

　　At this moment, arcs of thunder surged across Ye Tianming’s physical body as it underwent a world-shaking transformation.

　　Just as Ye Tianming and the Lord of All Tribes were devouring true tribulation thunder, the Grand Universal Tournament was about to begin.

　　And at this moment, the entire Ancient Civilization had gone mad.

　　Because they couldn’t reach Ye Tianming.

　　In order to find Ye Tianming, they had mobilized nearly all of their resources, yet still came up empty-handed. And the news of Ye Tianming’s disappearance quickly spread throughout the entire universe.

　　”Ye Tianming has fled before the battle!”

　　This news instantly spread like a plague, sweeping rapidly across everything.
