Chapter 455: The Assassin of the First Day

The Undying Strike Sword shines like brilliance.

Particles rapidly surge forth, the entire sword transforming into swiftly flowing particles. Under this Spiritual Law, all matter will be sliced apart!

If it were a mutual strike, he would be more confident in killing the enemy!

“Nine Lives Spirit Law—Celestial Reason Preset!”

Yun Ye did not dodge or evade. With a swing of his arm, he cut the golden-armored man open, blood spraying forth.

At the same time, the golden-armored man drove his sword into Yun Ye; the surface’s spirit energy defense was immediately shattered, but when it touched the Holy Attire, although it struck true, its destructive capacity suddenly erupted from a distance.

“What?!”

“It didn’t hit!!!”

The moment the Holy Attire was cut, the golden-armored man realized the situation was dire and swiftly retreated. Though blood splattered around, he only suffered a light injury.

He immediately wrapped his life force around his armor, infusing it with vitality, and in an instant, he healed the armor.

He gazed at Yun Ye seriously, full of uncertainty.

Clearly, he had struck the person; the sensation in his hand felt very real, but why did the power explode far away, without injuring Shui Changdong? What just happened?

“Is this Spirit Law? Did Elder Brother fix the future?”

Beside him, Shui Wuge slightly opened her mouth, engaging in Spirit Sense communication with Yun Ye.

“No wonder he’s a genius in Spirit Law. I saw the possibility of him perishing with me, so I altered that possibility, fixing his future to ensure he would miss.”

Yun Ye pressed on, activating the Celestial Reason Preset once more. His Spirit Sense erupted, transforming his attack into a guaranteed hit.

He felt that activating the Celestial Reason Preset on this golden-armored man was much simpler than dealing with the Mystic Realm, likely due to differences in their realms.

Although the golden-armored man was powerful, presumably the Vice Captain of Team Three with strength exceeding that of the Great Disaster, his own realm was still merely that of a mortal. The strongest part of him was just having a spiritual body; he lacked energy meridians and did not possess the Spiritualization of meridians to fully integrate his law with his spiritual body.

A realm is a realm precisely because it involves comprehensive evolution!

If one does not elevate their realm but only their strength, it amounts to little more than numbers.

No matter how strong the physical power is, even if one could directly create a black hole, they cannot break through space.

However, by elevating one’s realm and mastering their power, they can wield the Ethereal Law in the mortal phase, easily traversing and tearing through space.

Yun Ye executed a hand knife strike, and the golden-armored man felt an unstoppable sensation arise within him. He maintained a serious expression as his spiritual knife and armor combined, both radiating dazzling golden light, entering an awakened state. He swung his blade, unleashing enhanced power that created destructive golden light, forcefully clashing with Yun Ye.

But the result changed very little; insufficiently compressed power was like a piece of paper meeting an iron needle, instantly pierced or sliced.

The golden-armored man’s explosive power merely delayed Yun Ye for a brief moment, but the next second, he was nearly cut in half, blood spraying wildly.

“This shouldn’t be; normally, it is us Vice Captains who crush our opponents’ power effortlessly. When did the situation become so easily reversed…?”

The golden-armored man narrowly avoided a fatal blow. At that moment, he used forbidden techniques, suddenly decomposing and then reassembling, his injuries instantly restoring to normal.

This move carries a heavy price; his body’s strength permanently decreased significantly, making it likely he wouldn’t be able to use it a second time.

Seizing the opportunity, he retreated further, escaping the danger zone.

Watching the figure of the black pattern in white armor in the darkness ahead, the golden-armored man fell into deep thought, unable to comprehend his strength.

There’s a saying: sheer strength breaks all laws!

He commented on the newcomer’s flashy maneuvers, always starting with this line, because as Vice Captain, his power was immensely great. No matter how elaborate the abilities or techniques were, they could all be crushed; only on that foundation could various abilities and techniques be fully utilized.

Undoubtedly, for Foreign Warriors, the most important thing was the hunting rank. Only by having a sufficiently high hunting rank and a strong foundational power could one become invincible and reach the level of Vice Captain!

But reality was absurd; in front of this child, all judgment lost its meaning.

He could clearly sense that this eight-year-old boy named Shui Changdong had neither his physique nor the quantity of vitality. They differed by far, yet this child could effortlessly shatter his Spiritual Law and Physical Law with a casual strike.

How was this possible?

“This incredible control can actually suppress the Vice Captain of the sacred department; it’s unbelievable…”

Shui Wuge observed some things through her Spirit Sense, feeling amazed.

She realized that her brother’s power was likely enough to easily deal with the Vice Captain, with many more trump cards still hidden away.

“Do you have no other means? The Vice Captain of the sacred department is only at this level?”

Yun Ye stood in the sky, looking down at the golden-armored man.

If that were true, he would be fortunate; the difficulty of challenges faced in the future would drastically decrease.

“A newcomer who has just entered the sacred department has already reached the level of Vice Captain. You truly astonish people; such an overwhelming gap in talent is despairing. If given a few more years… no, just a few months, you could leave me far behind. Heaven is truly unfair; your Holy Lineage always easily acquires power.”

The golden-armored man pressed his hand against his chest, white cracks spreading.

His armored form erupted into a dramatic change.

Golden armor continuously sprouted sharp blades, wrapping around him, ultimately exploding into a silver armor.

Originally, he didn’t have wings in his awakened form, but this time he did, sprouting silver wings extending several meters, appearing quite magnificent.

“It’s the sublimation form! He hasn’t completed the constant state, yet he prematurely enters the sublimation state, which means he is burning his vitality, but these side effects are negligible compared to the power gained! In the sublimation state, Spiritual Attire will be fully unleashed, exploding with power through extreme performance, allowing the user’s strength to skyrocket!”

Shui Wuge spoke up as her wings absorbed the spirit energy of heaven and earth, entering battle mode.

In the sublimation form, both speed and strength would experience explosive enhancement. Any misstep could lead to being killed in an instant; even watching from the sidelines, she had to focus completely.

“The strength of the armor increases sevenfold, power and speed increase twelvefold, and the efficiency of life force output is completely unleashed; using it all at once is possible, indeed a comprehensive evolution…”

Yun Ye’s thoughts flashed by, and he became serious, activating both Spirit Law and Physical Law, simultaneously enhancing his body and spirit.

“Boom!”

The golden-armored man wasted no time and stepped out, exploding from his location; with his power surging, he had no energy left to rein in his strength.

Originally, even if he exceeded the speed of sound countless times, it would not cause a ripple, but now that was no longer the case.

With that step, he entered the incredible speed state, and all scenery flew past, resembling teleportation.

“It’s feasible; at this speed, Shui Changdong cannot possibly keep up…”

He believed he had reached extraordinary speed.

But unfortunately, in Yun Ye’s field of vision, all his movements slowed indefinitely. Yun Ye’s Spiritual Eye was not merely ornamental; the fourth-stage high control of Spirit Law and Physical Law was no joke. The speed of a life in the material realm could not surpass his observational ability.

In the countdown.

Yun Ye silently activated the Nine Lives Spirit Law, calculating and searching for the Lines of Causality, aiming to alter the possibility and modify the outcome to match his needs.

The golden-armored man raised his hand; the silver wings behind him disassembled, transforming into brand new weapons, boasting far greater power than before and having a wider range of interference. Multiple sword bodies shot out together, cooperating to strike down.

But there is a saying:

You tapped a piece.

Good.

Game over.

“Boom!”

All the sword bodies passed through Yun Ye, crashing into the ground and causing devastating damage to the landscape, while Yun Ye himself crossed over unharmed, directly grasping the golden-armored man’s heart.

Bang!
