Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Establishing the Way!

In this chaotic void, as Ye Tianming’s domain slowly spread outward, it was as if an invisible hand of the Great Dao was stirring things into motion. A brand new force began to emanate from within this chaotic void, and soon, a shocking scene unfolded.

　　The three domains belonging to Yang Jia, each carrying terrifying sword dao power, were now as if bound by invisible chains — the fearsome sword dao power within them had been suppressed and restrained by Ye Tianming’s force.

　　The Restraining Sword Domain!

　　The Power of Restraint!

　　Merely restrained, not eliminated — the power of the three domains that permeated heaven and earth was now drawn in by Ye Tianming’s restraining force, becoming sluggish and heavy. Not only that, the power of all three domains had also been weakened by half through some mysterious force.

　　At this moment, the power of the three domains seemed to have been shackled, no longer able to run rampant as they pleased.

　　Not only that, Ye Tianming’s soul, which had nearly been erased, rapidly recovered, and his physical body was restored in an instant as well.

　　A mortal body!

　　The tide had turned once again!

　　From the shadows, Jidian stared fixedly at Ye Tianming not far away, his thoughts unknown.

　　Old Yang suddenly said softly, “He has fused the second law of his All Beings Principle — the equality of all beings — with his own domain. But this time, it is no longer merely equality, but restraint…….”

　　Even as he said this, he found it hard to believe.

　　Equality of all beings!

　　Restraint of all beings!

　　He thought of something deeply unsettling — that Ye Tianming’s Great Dao concept was continuously growing stronger, and furthermore, this person was different from before. It was no longer just theory; it was slowly being put into practice.

　　Restraint plus limitation.

　　This was Ye Tianming’s Great Dao concept, much like his Great Dao boundary — except that Ye Tianming had not yet established this Restraining Dao as a formal path.

　　But from the looks of things, it was only a matter of time. In other words, given enough time, Ye Tianming could stand with two Daos side by side!

　　That was the source of his shock.

　　Jidian had clearly understood this as well — his gaze had never left Ye Tianming.

　　Seeing the tide turn, the voices supporting Yang Jia quieted somewhat, and many who had been stunned soon grew excited again.

　　What a rollercoaster!

　　This battle was truly extraordinary.

　　On the other side, the faces of those from Guanxuan Domain and Xianbao Pavilion had grown rather unsightly. They had all assumed Ye Tianming was certain to lose, yet they never expected him to rise against the odds once again.

　　The people of Guanxuan Domain and Xianbao Pavilion grew anxious, for they suddenly realized that this martial contest might take an unexpected turn.

　　After all, Xianbao Pavilion and Guanxuan Domain had built up enormous momentum for this martial competition. If Yang Jia were to lose to Ye Tianming, then Guanxuan Domain and Xianbao Pavilion would truly become a laughingstock!

　　They could not afford to lose!

　　A loss this time would deal a fatal blow to the prestige of both Xianbao Pavilion and Guanxuan Domain. Moreover, both factions currently needed a new figurehead — if Yang Jia lost, his own reputation would suffer a devastating blow as well.

　　Therefore, this battle could not be lost, no matter what.

　　Many from Guanxuan Domain and Xianbao Pavilion turned to look at Young Master Xin not far away. He too was watching that chaotic void, his gaze as calm as ever — though occasionally, he would glance toward Xingdao and Sword Ancestor at the far end of the void.

　　Within that chaotic void, as Yang Jia saw the power of his three sword domains being restrained, the smile that had been on his face gradually faded.

　　He stared at Ye Tianming. “A sword domain.”

　　He had not expected Ye Tianming to also possess a sword domain — and one that had just been comprehended at that. Most importantly, a sword domain freshly comprehended by his opponent had already managed to suppress his three sword domains.

　　How was that possible?

　　Yang Jia took a deep breath. He was naturally unwilling to accept this, and he refused to believe it. A fierce fighting spirit blazed within him, and he stepped forward once more, raising both hands. In an instant, the three sword domains erupted again with terrifying sword dao power.

　　These three sword dao forces intertwined as before within the chaotic void, eventually converging into a torrent of sword dao that crashed wildly against Ye Tianming’s Restraining Sword Domain, attempting to break free from Ye Tianming’s shackles.

　　Rumble, rumble.

　　Within the chaotic void, thunderous booms rang out one after another, and the entire space shook violently like a massive earthquake — utterly terrifying.

　　Yet Ye Tianming’s Restraining Sword Domain stood like an indestructible fortress. No matter how Yang Jia’s sword dao torrent crashed against it, it was not broken through. Not only that, it continued to steadily weaken and suppress the power of Yang Jia’s three sword domains.

　　From the shadows, Old Yang watched this unfold and murmured, “Yang Jia still hasn’t pushed these three sword domains to their full potential!”

　　Strictly speaking, the three sword domains Yang Jia was currently unleashing did surpass Ye Tianming’s — because all three Great Dao concepts had been forged through real experience. The problem, however, was that these three sword domains were not created by Yang Jia himself.

　　In other words, Yang Jia had never personally lived through the journey that the original masters of those three concepts had once walked.

　　A second-generation heir inherits the family fortune of the first generation — the wealth may be the same, but the ability is not.

　　Of course, there are those who surpass their predecessors, but such cases are rare.

　　Yang Jia had mastered all three sword domains and even fused them — that alone was already extraordinary. But compared to the original masters of those three domains, there was naturally a world of difference, just as his sword dao compared to his father’s.

　　His father already understood what all beings meant, what order meant — but Yang Jia did not. Therefore, his All Beings Sword Domain was an entirely different concept compared to his father’s.

　　Yang Jia remained unwilling to give in. This was the three-generation sword dao legacy of the Yang family — how could it be bound and restrained?

　　He frantically drove the power of the three sword domains, trying to forcibly break through Ye Tianming’s Restraining Sword Domain — but it was no use. On the contrary, he felt wave after wave of terrifying restraining sword dao power surging back against him, and the fearsome sword dao pressure sent him stumbling back repeatedly!

　　Although Ye Tianming’s Restraining Sword Domain held the upper hand, it had not been able to directly destroy the three sword domains — it had only achieved the effect of binding and suppressing them.

　　Boom!

　　The moment Yang Jia stopped, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He now felt a creeping sense of powerlessness, for no matter how he drove the three sword domains, he could not break free from the restraint of Ye Tianming’s Order Sword Domain.

　　Seeing this, the faces of the Guanxuan Domain cultivators outside darkened completely.

　　The members of the two great factions — Ancient Zhe Sect and the Heavenly Court — were now unsure whether to feel glad or worried. For them, the situation was undeniably painful.

　　They couldn’t side with either!

　　They felt like a pig looking in a mirror — unwelcome on both sides.

　　Behind Gu Mu of Ancient Zhe Sect, an elder said in a low voice, “Elder, we cannot keep wavering. We must either continue supporting Yang Jia, or directly support Ye Tianming……”

　　Gu Mu slowly closed his eyes.

　　He knew they had to make a decision. Soon, he opened his eyes. “Support Yang Jia.”

　　The elder was momentarily taken aback, then said gravely, “The Ancestor’s side…….”

　　Gu Mu said softly, “It is already too late for us to go support Ye Tianming now.”

　　The elder fell silent.

　　Going to support Ye Tianming now was indeed too late.

　　The elder said in a low voice, “Then the Ancestor’s side……”

　　Gu Mu suddenly smiled. “Who says the Ancestors are necessarily right? I firmly believe Yang Jia is more suited to be the sect master of our Ancient Zhe Sect than that Ye Tianming. If the Ancestors insist on going their own way, then we will……”

　　As he spoke, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. “Then we will directly join Guanxuan Academy.”

　　The elder fell silent.

　　In truth, they had no way out anymore.

　　Following Yang Jia down this path was now their only option — the outcome would certainly be far better for them. As for the Ancestors, as long as Yang Jia protected them when the time came, what could the Ancestors do?

　　On the other hand, going to Ye Tianming now — the two sides had already become enemies. Even if they were willing, Ye Tianming might not necessarily accept them.

　　Besides, they would never be willing to submit to Ye Tianming.

　　Given that, they might as well choose Yang Jia outright and see it through to the end.

　　On the other side, the cultivators of the Heavenly Court had also made their decision. For them too, switching allegiance to Ye Tianming now was already too late.

　　Just like Ancient Zhe Sect, they had resolved to go all in on one path.

　　Damn it!

　　At worst, they would start a new chapter in the clan records — Guanxuan Domain and Xianbao Pavilion were strong enough to protect them anyway.

　　Within the chaotic void, with Yang Jia’s three sword domains suppressed, he was now at an absolute disadvantage. After he stopped, his physical body once again began to crack bit by bit, and blood poured ceaselessly from within him.

　　Ye Tianming walked slowly toward Yang Jia, and upon him there now emanated an incomparable and terrifying sword dao pressure — like mountain after mountain bearing down on Yang Jia, about to crush him completely.

　　But just then, the suppressed Yang Jia glanced at his already cracked body and smiled faintly. “I have to say, Ye Tianming, you have given me quite a few surprises and……delights.”

　　With those words, within his eyes, that sea of blood ignited like a flame suddenly set alight, blazing fiercely and dyeing the entire chaotic void a deep crimson. At the same time, his aura surged wildly in an instant — terrifying Great Dao pressure condensed and materialized from the void behind him, bearing down on everyone present like mountain after mountain, making it hard to breathe.

　　In just a single moment, his aura had reversed and was pressing back against Ye Tianming.

　　The sudden turn of events left everyone in the arena stunned.

　　Soon, someone cried out in excitement, “He……he is establishing his Dao! He is going to establish his Dao in the midst of battle!!”

　　Establishing his Dao!

　　Yang Jia was going to establish his own Great Dao in the heat of battle!

　　In this moment, the entire universe erupted!

　　Was the youngest Dao-establisher in the history of the real world about to appear?

　　And at this moment, everyone was also burning with curiosity — what Great Dao was Yang Jia going to establish?
