Chapter 407: The Emperor’s Secret Palace

Yun Ye circulated his life force and water spirit energy throughout his body, thoroughly healing his injuries as he stepped onto the water surface, heading towards the battlefield.

In this Heavenly Path, he possessed the five elements of water, earth, fire, and divine body, all perfectly aligned with himself.

This was likely a result of the Heavenly Path’s deliberate choice.

However, this body had slightly inferior talent compared to his original form, and the talents of the five elements were not evenly distributed. Yun Ye had attempted multiple times before he could start using the Ethereal Law right from the beginning.

This Ethereal Law was very unstable and required time for this body to adapt, gradually elevating the control over his spirit energy to the Early Stage Four.

“I’m currently at Third Stage Perfection, barely reaching Early Stage Four…”

Yun Ye plunged into the battlefield, his figure flickering as he appeared behind an enemy, delivering a punch that immediately shattered the skull of a spiritual realm cultivator.

After killing the cultivator, the power within Yun Ye surged dramatically, even including a portion of luck.

He let out a loud roar, smashing the water surface, dashing across dozens of kilometers, breaking through several battle lines.

In an instant, dozens, if not hundreds, of spiritual realm cultivators fell to his attacks.

His cultivation level skyrocketed as a result, and his luck soared like a rainbow. It seemed there was a sacrificial ritual at work here; killing enemies made him stronger!

Eventually, as Yun Ye’s Physical Law reached the full completion stage, a thunderous shout echoed.

“Arrogant!”

A law realm cultivator noticed Yun Ye, and a water dragon surged up from beneath his feet, swallowing him into its depths. The overwhelming magical power crushed Yun Ye, displaying a corrosive force far beyond what a law realm cultivator should possess, gradually dismantling the Ethereal Law.

Boom!

Yun Ye unleashed the Great Life Burial, erasing the water dragon’s spirit and shooting towards the sky.

In that moment, Yun Ye faced immense pressure; the ocean seemed to possess a gravitational force that made it hard for him to ascend through the air.

But this did not hinder Yun Ye; wings of wind extended from him, allowing him to counter the gravity and soar into the sky.

“Wind Spiritual Law!”

The law realm cultivator showed signs of surprise; no wonder he could kill dozens, even hundreds of spiritual realm cultivators—he mastered Dual Attributes!

He summoned water bead treasures, unleashing their power. Water dragons roared into action, charging at Yun Ye with such speed that even the Wind Spiritual Law could barely keep up!

These water dragons were quite petite compared to the law realm’s capabilities, measuring only twenty meters long, but their destructive capacity went far beyond Yun Ye’s imagination. With a single bite, they could shatter the ‘Ethereal Law: Opening the Door,’ effectively isolating Yun Ye in a different space!

“The advantage of terrain; this ocean is unique!”

Yun Ye suddenly spun around, no longer rushing upwards; the distance was sufficient. He brought his hands together, drawing upon immense spirit energy—

“One Thought, Frozen World!”

In an instant, the entire sky was encased in ice!

The expression of the law realm cultivator froze, his power surging while resisting the force of Frozen World.

However, this was the Extreme Spirit Dual Attributes, wielded with Fourth Stage control, making it challenging even for a law realm cultivator to resist. Yun Ye intensified his output, causing the ice layer to expand and ice spikes to pierce through the law realm cultivator’s body from within.

“Bang!”

An overwhelming force surged into his body, and Yun Ye’s constitution underwent a comprehensive enhancement. The speed at which he grew stronger felt absurd, no matter how many times he experienced it.

Even in an occupational system that kills enemies, such rapid growth seems impossible. Is this truly a Dual Emperor-level battlefield?!

"Spiritual Law is almost ready…"

Yun Ye calculated the time, charging in one direction while defeating all obstacles along the way, his power continuously growing with each battle.

During this time, Yun Ye hardly used the Ethereal Law, as traversing this space was exceedingly difficult, requiring vast amounts of spirit energy. Even draining all the spirit energy around him wouldn’t suffice; he would need to reach the pinnacle of law realms to convert a substantial amount of spirit energy into magical power.

"Roar!"

A mysterious roar echoed.

Yun Ye suddenly turned around and saw a massive sun erupting in the distance, its diameter unfathomable, and everything before him was overtaken by light and heat. The terrifying energy radiated, creating a vast void in the ocean.

Tremendous waves crashed down!

Boom!

Yun Ye was far enough away, but still felt like a mere leaf on the water—insignificant in the face of such power.

"Zhang Guang! How dare you act so maliciously?!"

"Winning is rightfully worth any means necessary."

"Good! Very good! Today, I will determine the victor with you. I want your next three hundred years… to fall eternally into hell!"

With this roar, a sword of water manifested in the sky, an intimidating aura sweeping across the land, clashing directly with the sun’s horrifying brilliance.

Boom!

The giant waves were dispersed, and an unparalleled shockwave sent Yun Ye flying.

Just that one attack caused intense pain in Yun Ye’s body, with cracks rapidly spreading, only to mend continuously.

If he felt this way, it was unimaginable for the spiritual realm cultivators on the battlefield; thousands of cultivators were swallowed by the ocean and shockwaves, dying innocently.

This was a battle of peerless powerful figures. Yun Ye’s current body practiced the Three Major Techniques that were utterly inferior and could not match up to the Mystic Realm, let alone stand against the greats. The aftermath of their fight threatened to bury him.

"Revive!"

Riding on the shockwave, Yun Ye escaped, completely restoring his body.

After multiple failures in previous attempts to flee, Yun Ye had begun to understand the situation. He activated the Wind Spiritual Law, continuously accelerating away from the area.

Many law realm cultivators made the same decision, becoming a trend, and the rules enveloping this space thus ceased to take effect!

Yun Ye previously charged directly towards the outside world, escaping, but when he reached the end, the unyielding rules of the Dao Artifact took effect, erasing him from existence.

He tried again, attempting to awaken the next day’s power for resistance, but the moment he called upon it, he turned to ashes, dying even faster than before.

With two Supreme Rulers’ Dao Artifacts shrouding the world, awakening the New Dao weapon resulted in a death that was not undeserved—just a bit foolish…

As he flew over the boundless ocean, almost every area looked the same.

It was a vast expanse, completely lacking in borders.

This ocean was arduous to dive into; one could only go down a few dozen meters before feeling unbearable pressure; continuing would lead to self-destruction even with all three techniques activated.

During his escape, Yun Ye was constantly attacked, gradually mastering all magical techniques to perfection.

Ultimately, he settled at a body of water, closed his eyes, and focused, sensing a presence in the void…

——Splash!

Amid the inexplicable sound, the scene before him suddenly transformed into a palace.

This palace was magnificent and imposing, a whole complex of palaces. Yun Ye entered through the main entrance, opening the grand door, immediately greeted by a burst of numerous spiritual lights.

Here, countless treasures and spiritual herbs lay arranged, the endless spirit light intertwining, making him feel as though he might float away before even getting his hands on anything.

"The Emperor’s Secret Palace!"

This was the treasure palace of the Heavenly Emperor, one of the Dual Emperors; anyone with merits could come here to receive rewards.

It seemed to have everything, encompassing all treasures of heaven and earth, and only the Lord of the Red Heaven realm could possibly gather such a staggering amount and variety of worldly treasures.

Yun Ye wasted no time, using all his merits to acquire materials for advancing his Spiritual Law, then departed immediately—although time here was vastly different from the outside world, with approximately ten thousand days equating to one day outside, the toll on his soul was real. If he stayed too long, even if his body didn’t die, his soul would perish.

Previously, Yun Ye had spent years here, trying to exploit a loophole, only to almost perish when exiting the Heavenly Path. His spirit shattered and he had to sacrifice a minor cultivation level in Spirit Law to restore his sanity.

If he were to linger for ten, twenty, or even a hundred years, the resulting mental collapse would be beyond even a divine being’s rescue.
