Chapter 471: Law Realms Third Turn, The Death of Shui Weibai

Yun Ye officially became the new captain of Team Two. Everyone knew that this time there would be no obstacles ahead.

However, unlike what Shui Qingya and the others thought, external members, even after hearing about Yun Ye’s slaughter of the entire team, were not afraid at all and continued to swarm into Team Two.

But they were too weak; there was a reason why only the Holy Lineage was allowed to bring people into the sacred department.

The gap in talent and bloodline caused them to experience very different Growth Speed when hunting disaster beasts.

Ordinary beings could only strengthen their physical bodies, which wasn’t even a spiritual body. If quantified, the enhancement would only amount to 1 point.

In contrast, geniuses could strengthen their Spiritual Eye, killing from a distance, with quantifications reaching 5 points, 10 points, or even more.

That was the difference.

They were far weaker than the members of other teams, and their task execution efficiency was very low. In the end, Yun Ye still hunted disaster beasts alongside Shui Wuge.

All tasks were managed by You Guanglin and Li Xiaoxian.

The hunting journey was very long.

Yun Ye either rested or hunted monsters, constantly sweeping through various areas outside the city. After several months, Shui Wuge’s doubts could no longer be suppressed. "Elder Brother, why do I feel like you are anxious? You are already the strongest in Team Two, and no one can surpass you. Why are you still so eager to grow stronger?"

"I want to deal with Dongwang. The residents of Dongwang who claim kingship themselves are not good residents. After defeating Shui Weibai, there’s still the Vice Minister, the Minister, the head of the family, and finally Dongwang. You wouldn’t want to become Dongwang’s food a hundred years from now, right?" Yun Ye said.

Shui Wuge fell silent.

After a long pause, she said, "I can also control Dongwang’s power, so I can feel that Dongwang is unbeatable. The power we use is less than one millionth of its total."

"I can only control a small river, but Dongwang’s power is like the ocean, immeasurable. How can we win against that?"

This was a very realistic question.

The endless black tide alone surpassed all understanding, and Dongwang didn’t even need to appear to suppress everything.

Without the strength to deal with the black tide, there wasn’t even a chance to confront Dongwang directly.

"Normally, it would indeed be impossible, but we have no other path to take, do we? We must act with the resolve to face death." Yun Ye replied.

"With no hope in sight, according to what you said, Elder Brother, Dongwang possesses similar cultivation methods. He has spent at least several hundred years practicing and has devoured the strength of countless people over the years. What good will it do if we start cultivating now?" Shui Wuge shook her head, feeling an overwhelming sense of despair.

"You don’t need to think too much. Just focus on becoming stronger, stronger, stronger, and stronger. Without strength, nothing matters. Either become stronger or think about how to become stronger. Leave the rest to me."

Yun Ye raised his hand and destroyed a massive beast ahead, his power increasing once more.

Shui Wuge nodded with difficulty; she had to adjust her mindset!

She couldn’t think too much!

"Up ahead is the death zone; if we continue, we will be swallowed by the black tide."

"After clearing the south, we can move to other areas."

…

One Year Later

In a certain spirit vein cave.

“Huh, Third Turn.”

Yun Ye stood up, brushed off the dust from his body, and immediately transformed into a beam of light, vanishing.

Throughout the year, he used the evolution technique to semi-solidify the forms recorded in his bloodline, advancing to the realm of law.

Usually, this power remained latent, hidden within his body, but once activated, it would fully engage, entering the Evil Spirit God state, granting him strength surpassing that of the average law realms.

Now he had grown strong, reaching a new level, yet his power was still insufficient, far from being enough to deal with Dongwang.

“This captain battle will mark the anniversary of Shui Weibai’s death.”

A thought flashed through Yun Ye’s mind.

At that very moment, a powerful aura suddenly exploded, aiming to obliterate Yun Ye with a pointed finger.

“Oh? Shui Weibai?”

Yun Ye saw through her true form at a glance. Now that the year had ended, on the eve of the captain battle, Shui Weibai actually came to attack him?

“Ascension of the Heavenly Path!”

“Destroy and escape!”

Shui Weibai directly entered her strongest state, her Spiritual Attire igniting, pooling all her power. In her wild expression, a massive Ice Maiden emerged, her body radiating vibrant vitality. One finger extended, and this life force transformed into a lethal strike.

“As the Vice Captain, attacking the captain must be punished!”

Yun Ye raised his hand casually, and the Lunar Star was born. The gigantic ice figure had almost no time to react before being completely consumed, showcasing power that far exceeded a year ago.

Shui Weibai could naturally not withstand this force. She gazed deeply at Yun Ye, opened her arms, and welcomed death, turning to dust within the Lunar Star.

Yun Ye’s cultivation level surged as a result, directly reaching the Ninth Turn. Looking at the Lunar Star, he muttered, “Are you offering your death? Giving me your power?”

As a member of Dongwang City, anyone would accumulate a mountain of repressed emotions with nowhere to vent.

She might have sensed Yun Ye’s essence, hoping to take revenge through him.

Be it Shui Riyue, Shui Qingya, Shui Suqing, Shui Mingqin, or even Dongwang, whatever it may be, do whatever can be done!

…

After that, everything returned to calm. Shui Weibai’s offering of death stirred no waves.

Yun Ye began to ponder how to break through the Mystic Realm.

He had reached the pinnacle of law realms, and the enhanced power of general disaster beasts had become scarce. Only disaster of the same level could accelerate his cultivation.

This posed a significant problem; the disaster beasts near Dongwang City were limited, and it was impossible for him to hunt infinitely.

Why didn’t the sacred department conduct hunts?

Very simple—the transformation rate of weaker opponents was higher.

This was a mature experience and also the twisted nature of Dongwang City.

They lacked cultivation methods and couldn’t become stronger on their own. To grow stronger, they had to constantly kill, but killing weaker opponents was not meaningful; they needed to nurture fuel.

Ordinary beings, Foreign Warriors from the Four Departments, the Holy Lineage of the sacred department—all, despite their varying ranks and status, were ultimately the fuel resources of Dongwang.

“It seems I need to meet Shui Zhenjing; the four captains will likely all perish at my hands…”

Yun Ye’s figure vanished.

…

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

With a heavy cough, a pale beauty pressed her hand against her chest, spitting out blood that turned to black energy upon hitting the ground.

She furrowed her delicate brows and continued with her unfinished business.

Her pale hand waved through the air, and amidst the ripples, a pot of hot tea appeared, fragrant spirit essence wafting through and filling the entire top-floor garden.

The beauty poured herself a cup of tea and drank it, her color improving slightly, yet she still appeared severely ill.

While drinking her tea, she gazed into the distance from the top of the building, capturing countless sights with her eyes.

At that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded, rising from low to high, drawing closer. The beauty raised her head in surprise, and a young man appeared out of nowhere before her.

She merely glanced at the young man and sighed wistfully, “Shui Changdong, I am no match for you. You may kill or maim as you please.”
