Chapter 276: The Heartbeat of the Ocean
“Boom boom boom!”
“Boom boom!”
A mythical battle began.
Yun Ye changed the formations from a simple suppression mode to a path of self-empowerment.
Previously, he could only wait for results, unable to fully unleash his own power.
But now, the formations primarily empowered Yun Ye himself, allowing him to exert even greater strength.
Instead of merely setting up a ritual to expand the scale of All Things Silent, Yun Ye completely blocked the opponent’s spirit energy absorption.
He also activated the phenomenon of the great sun again.
This time, Yun Ye did not give him the chance to destroy the phenomenon; instead, he engaged in close combat, fully delaying the timing.
Even though the close-quarters battle produced minimal sound and movement, the two fought as if embroiled in a legendary war.
Although every attack had a very small range, in a detailed examination, one would discover that the range was indeed small, but the destructive capacity reached the point of erasing anything it touched.
Yun Ye tried to compress his power further, but he clearly was not as skilled as Hai Hao. Although he could achieve compression to enhance his power, the forced compression drained a significant amount of spirit energy.
Thus, to reduce the loss, Yun Ye did not increase his strength further but instead purely focused on combat techniques against Hai Hao.
In such battles, only speed, accuracy, and ferocity mattered.
The various martial arts he had learned, although inferior to Hai Hao’s techniques, still provided him with resistance instead of being completely overwhelmed.
In an instant, they attacked each other thousands of times, the air gradually being erased and the ground becoming riddled with holes.
Within the striking phenomenon of the great sun, Yun Ye and Hai Hao engaged in a remarkably protracted battle.
During the fight, Yun Ye also learned, trying to grasp the power of "Subtlety" in advance.
Although his C+ level comprehension was merely at the level of a genius, lacking any special talent, it should theoretically be impossible for him to grow rapidly.
Yet, after several dozen minutes of battle, Yun Ye made a small progression, mastering the beginner level of Subtlety.
This was due to the Rain World Secret Realm, not talent or ability.
B-level and A-level comprehension have unique qualities and gifts that create a significant gap in the essence of life.
However, even so, it wouldn’t be exaggerated to master an initial grasp of Subtlety in just a few dozen minutes.
In Huangzhou, the gap in comprehension levels was not as pronounced as that of Spiritual Roots.
Even the famed Qilin Rankings geniuses of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, with their extraordinary Thousand Clever Spiritual Heart physique, were far behind Yun Ye after experiencing the great disaster.
In general, their performance was somewhat similar to that of a weakened version of Thunder True Feather in the secret realm, quickly penetrating any technique, identifying weaknesses, and rapidly learning combat experience…
Moreover, they possessed the ability to use a large number of Spiritual Laws simultaneously, excelling in Combination Spiritual Law.
But this was a far cry from Unmatched and undefeated level comprehension, which required time to manifest. In battle, they could only maintain a slight advantage, unable to grow as rapidly as Yun Ye did in just a few dozen minutes.
This was the effect of the Law Domain Power in the secret realm; it was not a numerical increase of comprehension by hundreds of times but something akin to a game skill progression, where the amount absorbed directly correlates to skill growth.
The Aura of Precious Medicines accumulated over sixty years actually came from practitioners, effectively allowing the direct retrieval of their experiences. Because of this, practicing here led to bizarre transformations in just a few dozen minutes.
"Law Domain Power, is it? As the first outsider to venture deep into the core area, you will indeed progress quickly. But how can Law Domain Power surpass me, Hai Hao? How can it surpass my century of hard training?"
"Do you know… the heartbeat of the ocean!"
As Hai Hao spoke, his aura began to transform, evolving towards the profound and vast.
His battle with Yun Ye for several dozen minutes was merely a test, meant to discover whether Yun Ye had anything similar to a forbidden device he could use.
Since Yun Ye borrowed the Aura of Precious Medicines to start his growth and did not choose to bring out a forbidden device to solve the problem directly, Hai Hao decided there was no need to wait any longer.
"The heartbeat of the ocean?"
Yun Ye felt a dark premonition rising within him.
He had confirmed that this Master, while powerful, focused all his energy on close-quarters combat. Even if part of his power remained untapped, that would only mean a quantitative increase without any other changes.
But what did the heartbeat of the ocean mean? Some form of powerful magic or secret techniques?
Having witnessed Water’s Embrace and the Great Burial of the Sea, Yun Ye was no longer surprised that there could be secret techniques that surpassed great magic.
The spirit patterns that the human body could inscribe have their limits, and this limit determines the boundaries of the Heavenly Path Law, which in turn sets the limits of great magic.
However, the spirit patterns created by secret techniques have no limits. They can envelop the entire world if one is willing and has the resources, forming a world-class formation.
Even though the subsequent increase in power from a world-class formation would be extremely difficult due to distance and structure, it would still be far superior to a super formation or a Forbidden Formation.
Secret techniques like Water’s Embrace represent a surge of spirit patterns resulting in a qualitative change in power.
Its principle of effectiveness does not involve extracting spirit energy but rather unleashing the potential of a single portion of spirit energy to produce even greater effects.
Could the heartbeat of the ocean be an even stronger attack?
Unclear.
Yun Ye could only face it in his strongest state.
"Two Suns Competing!"
The second great sun emerged; as long as it was daytime, even with the sky covered by thunderclouds, Yun Ye could still summon the great sun.
His power surged in all aspects, and the phenomenon originally stemmed from the power of body cultivation in the law realms, naturally providing a strong boost to the spiritual realm, even strong enough for cross-realm battles.
But it was still not enough; Yun Ye could feel a strong sense of crisis.
"Essence mode."
Three energies intertwined and surged toward his surface, maintaining a cycle and entering a phase of comprehensive power enhancement.
In this phase, the negative effects of Spiritual Roots revival and Elevation of Spiritual Roots would be countered.
The fusion of the Three Great Methods represented perfect power.
At this point, the sense of crisis in Yun Ye’s heart finally faded, the world became transparent, and from the perspective of Essence mode, Hai Hao’s power erupted from within—this was a force compressed for countless years, raging to the extreme.
In an instant, it swept through the entire space. Had Yun Ye not been in Essence mode, he would never have perceived such a wave that surpassed normal senses.
"This is… Essence?"
Yun Ye felt an extremely close connection to Essence. Since leaving Baishi Town, he had scarcely seen anyone use Essence, not even its embryonic form; this was the first time.
Moreover, the Essence the opponent used seemed not to be a self-created version but rather a kind of physique?
"Sea Heart Divine Body—Revive!"
Hai Hao became enveloped in a strange power, as deep blue spirit energy extended from his heart, transforming his entire form.
Simultaneously, a strange heartbeat sound appeared.
One beat.
Two beats.
"Pu…"
Yun Ye spat out blood, and in the next moment, he sealed off his hearing, refusing to listen to the eerie heartbeat any longer.
"Useless, no one can refuse the heartbeat of the ocean; this is the world of the sea."
Hai Hao clenched his fist.
Boom!
