Chapter 232: Overpowering the Geniuses
As the genius struck, Yun Ye felt an immense difference; this truly was a strong opponent, capable of engaging him in battle.
With his spiritual body already forming, he had reached the spiritual realm, though he had not yet walked the Heavenly Path.
He was significantly stronger than in his previous life, whether in stage in spirituality, the strength of his Spiritual Roots, or the various laws he mastered, all far exceeding his previous self.
In his previous life, he could rely on sheer effort to heavily wound an unsuspecting law realm practitioner. Among spiritual realm fighters, that level of strength meant he could easily slaughter anyone in the spiritual realm, regardless if they were at major achievement or full completion; there would be no distinction under his hand.
Yet You Kaiwu could still fight against him under these circumstances, leaving people in awe.
"Boom!"
Yun Ye casually blocked You Kaiwu’s punch, his black hair swept away by the force of the blow. The man before him radiated an increasingly powerful aura, as if mastering a method that continually increased his combat power in battle.
"First form! Second form! Third form!"
You Kaiwu relentlessly threw punches, showcasing the essence of his Physical Law, engaging in a fierce battle with Yun Ye. The entire platform shook, the barriers becoming unstable, forcing many spiritual realm practitioners to lend their strength to restore balance.
But it was all in vain; the more You Kaiwu struck, the more he realized his own limitations.
His expression changed.
How could someone so young possess such power?
This talent was beyond his grasp; the gap was far too great!
"I have already exerted ninety percent of my usual strength, and you can handle it so easily. You are indeed formidable! However, this ends here! The methods of the You family are not something small clans like yours can imagine!"
"Spiritual Roots revival!"
"Star ring activated!"
You Kaiwu revealed a hint of killing intent, struggling to accept the rise of a young genius. He suddenly struck his chest, a water-blue pattern spreading across his forehead. The star ring that had surrounded him now descended, merging into his body, transforming into an overwhelming source of power.
His aura exploded!
As a Physical Law practitioner, You Kaiwu was not adept at Elevation of Spiritual Roots, but the Physical Law also had a corresponding star ring effect that made it stronger rather than weaker.
In fact, to some extent, Elevation of Spiritual Roots could weaken a Physical Law practitioner.
Physical Law consumed life force, but spirit energy required that life force to maintain. Reviving the Spiritual Roots was already a limit; if he switched to Elevation of Spiritual Roots, his combat power would likely decrease instead of increase!
"Fifth form, Heavy Obliteration!"
You Kaiwu launched another strike, fully activating his Heavenly Path technique, which magnified his strength far beyond the Xiang Yu Walking Law.
As he punched, it was as if he bore the weight of a mountain. The air in the entire area compressed, locking onto Yun Ye, preventing him from escaping easily.
The area near his fist was continuously torn apart and destroyed, energy spiraling with terrifying destructive capacity.
Ao Xiu had felt the power of this move before; even knowing of it didn’t help much, as he would still invariably clash head-on. If he had not had the Ice Element affinity, which allowed for freezing large areas to reduce You Kaiwu’s speed, he likely could not have competed on the same stage and would have been obliterated.
Ao Xiu and the other two stared intently, watching to see how this five-year-old super genius would respond and what secret techniques he had mastered.
But what disappointed them was that this super genius still ignited crystal flames and threw a punch.
—You Kaiwu’s power had at least increased twentyfold, yet he still dared to throw a punch?
The outcome turned out to be completely unexpected.
This super genius’s speed surpassed You Kaiwu’s, and with one punch to the inside of You Kaiwu’s arm, he directly destroyed it. Following that, a kick to You Kaiwu’s abdomen struck him like a heavy hammer, causing his entire body to explode in a shower of blood, leaving him in a pitiful state after just one attack.
How is this possible?
The thought raced through everyone’s minds; this was too outrageous. He hadn’t even used Spiritual Roots revival or displayed the Physical Law star ring—how did he accomplish this?
Yun Ye held onto You Kaiwu, preventing him from flying away as he coughed up blood in front of him.
In that recent strike, Yun Ye used his full strength, but it only appeared serious; the actual damage was mitigated. If he had a healing secret technique, he could restore himself in a brief moment.
"Revive!"
You Kaiwu struggled to break free, but he was unsuccessful. In a fit of anger, he activated a recovery secret technique in Yun Ye’s grasp, enhancing his own state and power, as currents of electricity surged through him.
This time, he managed to break free.
"Physical Law Thunder, Major Achievement spiritual realm…"
Yun Ye recognized his attack; the characteristic shown during the Major Achievement of the Physical Law in the spiritual realm could generate electricity, drastically improving his battle reaction speed.
Has he enhanced his neural bioelectricity?
Yun Ye didn’t know, but he realized You Kaiwu had matched his speed, his reactions significantly accelerated.
Ordinary spiritual realm practitioners, even those at the full completion stage, could only be overwhelmed and swiftly defeated when facing You Kaiwu.
This was the strongest opponent Yun Ye had encountered at the same realm so far; indeed, he was a remarkable figure close to the Qilin Rankings. If he could advance even further, he could almost contend with the weaker law realm practitioners from Baishi Town.
But still, this was far from enough.
Far from being invincible!
"Spiritual Roots… revival!"
As the fiery patterns shimmered on Yun Ye’s forehead, a massive surge of spirit energy flooded in, causing the crystal flames to swell in an instant.
You Kaiwu attempted to attack, but upon contact, he stepped back, his face dark as he glanced at his palm… in just that brief moment, half of it had been scorched.
With such power, entering would turn him to ashes.
"Three Mystical True Fire: Azure Flame."
After mastering the Physical Law, even without using the Heart Fire, Yun Ye’s speed and strength reached the level once generated by the Heart Fire, allowing him to vastly increase his attacking power now.
"Boom!"
Yun Ye swept out in a horizontal strike; You Kaiwu didn’t dare to meet it head-on and staggered back, feeling utterly humiliated, igniting his anger. He finally decided to reveal his true power.
"Unseal!"
With a roar, the chains covering You Kaiwu’s body burst forth, swelling with life force, transforming into a star ring that covered the sky and emanated a daunting aura.
"Multi-ring cultivation! With seven chains in total, I can theoretically obtain seven times the usual life force. Though it can only be maintained for a limited time, it can overwhelm opponents at the same realm and contend with law realm practitioners!"
Everyone’s focus sharpened. Would the gap in strength change after unleashing seven times the power?
"Your combination of Physical Law and Spiritual Law is indeed terrifying, but I will certainly emerge victorious in the end!"
You Kaiwu roared, unleashing the powers of his chains, entering his strongest state. With one punch, he shook the space, cracks appearing everywhere, and even the Azure Flame was obstructed.
To withstand the Azure Flame and nearly solidify his life force, You Kaiwu achieved the strongest state he had ever experienced, filled with immense confidence.
He believed the battle would drastically change. With one punch, even Yun Ye would not withstand it.
But soon he fell into despair; Yun Ye caught his fist with one hand, suppressing all of his unleashed power.
The difference in strength was incalculable.
"Impossible!"
You Kaiwu’s pupils constricted; he couldn’t accept this reality and struggled wildly to break free.
But it was quite comical; despite his towering figure, he was nearly crawling, unable to move as a child held onto his arm.
As the crystal flames spread, he revealed a look of horror. When he looked up, all he saw was a gaze devoid of emotion.
"My You family will… ahhh!"
He could not finish his sentence before he was obliterated into ash amidst his agonizing screams.
Yun Ye had no awareness of being from a prominent family; he wouldn’t engage in exchanging interests—enemies would simply be dealt with entirely.
Moreover, he faintly sensed that his actions were aligning with some kind of correctness. Sadly, without a Dao tool, he could only feel this but could not directly perceive it.
