Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Huangfu Longhao realized that 500 laws were not the ultimate limit, the others came to the same understanding. However, they were at a loss as to how to break through to this higher realm. For them, 500 laws indeed represented the peak of their potential. Little did they know about the unique nature of Chu Yunfan’s cultivation.

Chu Yunfan possessed three distinct types of emperor physiques, a feat beyond the reach of ordinary individuals. Moreover, he benefitted from the godhead, the memories of Alchemy Emperors, and various other advantages that set him apart from typical Supreme Youths. Chu Yunfan had things that ordinary Supreme Youths did not have.

“To evade my attack is no small feat!” A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Chu Yunfan’s mouth as he regarded the Supreme Youths, his gaze akin to that of someone observing a dead person.

The chasm between mastering 500 laws and 1,000 laws was akin to the gulf between heaven and earth. Chu Yunfan’s capabilities far exceeded the expectations of these Supreme Youths; he surpassed the boundary of 500 laws.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfan lifted his gaze toward Chu Hongcai and Sword Saint locked in combat in the void. Their clash transformed the sky into a realm of swordsmanship, with countless awe-inspiring sword techniques emanating from their movements.

Neither of them relied on any other techniques; their confrontation was solely a test of sword wills, techniques, movements, and energy—a pure showdown between two swordsmen.

Both had attained an exceptional understanding of the sword path. However, compared to Sword Saint, Chu Hongcai’s cultivation lagged far behind. In such a duel, he found himself entirely disadvantaged.

Yet, despite being repeatedly pushed back and enduring injuries that made him cough up blood, Chu Hongcai’s Indestructible Sword Physique gradually revealed its terrifying might. With each setback, the pace at which he condensed the laws hastened. In a remarkably short span, he progressed from having condensed 200 laws to achieving the 201st. Though only a single law, it propelled Chu Hongcai’s cultivation forward, enabling him to continually condense more laws.

True to expectation, the intensity of his advancement accelerated in the crucible of life-and-death combat.

Forced to the brink, Chu Hongcai remained wholly absorbed in the battle, refusing to let distraction creep in. Any lapse in focus could result in being cleaved in two by Sword Saint.

In such circumstances, his inherent potential and the formidable might of the Indestructible Sword Physique surged forth.

Yet, despite this, his predicament had reached a critical juncture. After all, the number of laws he had condensed amounted to less than half of his opponent’s. Simply surviving up to this point without succumbing to an easy death, as most top-tier geniuses would have, posed an immense challenge.

In a swift motion, Chu Yunfan extended his hand, transforming it into a colossal appendage that ensnared Sword Saint.

“Agh!” Sword Saint cried out as he was captured, his protective sword light proving futile against the grasp of the colossal hand.

Just as Sword Saint braced himself for what seemed like an imminent demise,

he was astonished to find that Chu Yunfan refrained from delivering a fatal blow.

“Chu Yunfan, you’re disrupting a fair duel between two swordsmen!” Sword Saint’s roar resonated as if he found it unforgivable to be interrupted in the final stages of the battle.

Indeed, this confrontation not only greatly benefited Chu Hongcai but also provided him with invaluable insights. Despite his inferior cultivation compared to Sword Saint, Chu Hongcai’s understanding of swordsmanship, guided by Chu Yunfan’s mentorship and his own comprehension, proved to be on par, if not superior.

To him, this presented a rare opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to unleash his attacks without fear of retaliation from Chu Hongcai.

“Fair? Your cultivation far surpasses his. How can this be considered fair? If fairness is what you seek, then let’s level the playing field!” Chu Yunfan remarked casually.

Before Sword Saint could grasp what had transpired, he sensed a stagnation in the divine power coursing through his body. Then, to his astonishment, he discovered that a substantial portion of his divine power had been sealed away. Half of his laws were now dormant, leaving him with a mere 200 or so. Though still slightly superior to Chu Hongcai, he no longer held an overwhelming advantage.

Instantly filled with dread, a shiver ran down his spine. Never before had he encountered such a formidable technique. Laws, born of personal comprehension, lacked physical form; they were the manifestation of martial will. The notion of sealing a law that one had already grasped was unheard of, yet Chu Yunfan had achieved it.

Only then did Sword Saint comprehend Chu Yunfan’s concept of a fair fight:

by sealing his cultivation, he elevated Chu Hongcai’s prowess

The intent behind this was glaringly apparent. It was clear that Chu Yunfan aimed to employ him as a whetstone for Chu Hongcai, refining his cultivation.

Enraged, he refused to be treated like an insignificant insect, preferring death over such disdain. Yet, the hand that had seized him dissolved into a shower of light and dispersed.

Chu Hongcai, too, discerned Chu Yunfan’s intent. Despite the insights gained from their previous battle, the risks were too great. However, with Sword Saint now only marginally superior, he saw an opportunity to refine his skills using him as a whetstone.

With determination, Chu Hongcai advanced swiftly, his sword unleashing a dazzling rainbow that closed in on Sword Saint in an instant.

Reacting swiftly, Sword Saint launched a counterattack. Though his power had been sealed, he remained a formidable adversary.

Thus began the intense clash between the two eminent swordsmen.

As Chu Yunfan’s gaze returned to the ring, a wave of terror swept over everyone, particularly as they witnessed his casual intervention in the battle between the two Supreme Youths.

He forcefully sealed one of the Supreme Youth’s powers and the laws he had grasped. The method behind this maneuver remained unknown, but it was clear that such a feat was beyond the capabilities of anyone present.

“When did the Flying Celestials acquire such a terrifying being?!”

“Have you forgotten that Chu Yunfan astounded an entire era over a decade ago? He defeated Li Qianyuan, the top prodigy of that time!”

“So he’s Chu Yunfan, but wasn’t he supposed to be dead?”

“Rumor has it that he perished at the hands of Jun Tianci. Who could have imagined that not only did he survive, but he also emerged with such astounding strength! ”

“Some speculated that he spent the past decade recuperating. Now, it appears he not only recovered but also dedicated himself to rigorous cultivation. How else could he possess such formidable power?” “It’s your turn!” Chu Yunfan addressed the crowd..
