Space was compressed around Yang Kai’s body, and every inch of his flesh and blood was under great pressure, causing his bones to emit cracking sounds. All this time, Yang Kai had used his Space Force to restrict the movements of his enemies. Now that he was facing Li Wuyi, he finally understood what it was like to be bound by him.
This kind of Space Force that came from all directions was simply impossible to resist with just one’s physical body. If one were to forcefully resist it, they would sooner or later be crushed into meat paste.
Yang Kai shouted angrily as the Space Laws in his hands fluctuated wildly, slowly pushing them to the sides as if he was pushing an invisible door. As he did so, visible ripples spread out from his hands.
The pressure from the surrounding space immediately eased.
A hint of admiration flashed across Li Wuyi’s eyes as he suddenly straightened his palms and waved them towards Yang Kai.
In the next moment, Yang Kai saw a Void Crack suddenly form at his waist, as if it had always existed there, only now revealing its fierce apperance. His expression couldn’t help changing as he thought to himself; So Space Laws can be used like this.
There was no time to marvel at Li Wuyi’s technique. The Void Crack, which was only a few feet long, had already cut into Yang Kai’s skin like an indestructible sharp blade, causing a sharp pain. Even Yang Kai’s body, which he was proud of, found it difficult to resist such an attack.
The surrounding pressure continued to press down on Yang Kai, making it difficult for him to move. At this moment, it was already too late for him to retreat. In this life or death crisis, Yang Kai’s mind was surprisingly calm, not showing any signs of panic as he reached out to grab the Void Crack.
With a single grab, the hand transformed into a dragon claw and the Void Crack was directly caught by Yang Kai. The several foot long crack squirmed like a pitch-black snake, shaking its head and tail as it continued to attack Yang Kai.
His hand clenched into a fist and a crack appeared.
Only Yang Kai, who was also proficient in the Space Laws, could do such a thing. If it had been anyone else, how could they have caught the Void Crack? If they had rashly touched it, it was destined to end in tragedy.
On the other side, seeing Yang Kai so easily neutralize his killing blow, the admiration in Li Wuyi’s eyes became even stronger, but he hid it well, his eyes still cold, as if he wouldn’t rest until he killed Yang Kai.
The two palms that had been flattened suddenly separated, slowly rotating and grinding against each other…
Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically as he felt the space around him suddenly undergo a tremendous change. The space around his upper body began to rotate clockwise while the space around his lower body began to rotate counterclockwise. Although the rotation was slow, it was firm, causing the space around him to dislocate.
Yang Kai’s entire body was twisted into an extremely strange position, his upper body and lower body rotating in different directions, the sounds of his bones cracking could be heard.
Shocked, Yang Kai once again activated his Space Laws to restore order.
With Yang Kai at the center, the space within a thousan feet radius became chaotic as countless tiny cracks appeared.
Li Wuyi’s expression also became solemn as his slowly rotating palms seemed to be met with some kind of resistance, causing them to slow down and finally stop.
With a furious roar, the void shattered, Yang Kai’s twisted body returned to normal, and Li Wuyi’s palms pressed together again.
“Senior, take this!” After being repeatedly attacked by Li Wuyi and not holding back at all, Yang Kai also became angry. No matter what Li Wuyi’s intentions were, he couldn’t just passively continue to be beaten.
Facing the strongest person below the Great Emperor who was also proficient in the Space Laws, the best way to deal with him was to fight him instead of running for his life. In front of him, escaping was useless, and simply resisting would only speed up his defeat. Only by attacking would he be able to defend!
With a flick of his ten fingers, a series of black moon blades slashed towards Li Wuyi’s head, the last of which was incomparably huge and contained an astonishing amount of power.
Facing this earth-shattering attack, Li Wuyi’s expression remained indifferent. He simply raised his hand and gently waved it in front of him, his movements elegant and graceful, as if he was brushing away dust. The power of the Space Laws was smoothed out and the moonblades disappeared before they could even reach Li Wuyi. Only the last giant moonblade flew towards Li Wuyi, but it was also drawn to the side by him and flew away.
“Your Moonblade is useless against me!” Li Wuyi looked at Yang Kai and said indifferently.
He had once discussed the Space Laws with Yang Kai and exchanged cultivation insights with him. Naturally, he was no stranger to the Moon Blade, not to mention he had personally witnessed Yang Kai use this killing move more than once.
Yang Kai’s expression remained unchanged as he punched out, “Moonblade is useless, what about this move?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a black ball suddenly appeared in front of Li Wuyi. This black ball was filled with a chaotic aura that was exactly the same as the aura in the void.
Li Wuyi raised his brow, clearly feeling that this move’s power was far more terrifying than the Moon Blade. In his excitement, he tried to figure out the mysteries of this move, but the Divine Sense he released was actually swallowed by the black ball.
In the next moment, the black ball suddenly shrank and transformed into a small black dot, causing the world to collapse around it. Even Li Wuyi, who was the first to bear the brunt of this force, found it difficult to resist as his body twisted and shrank rapidly towards the black dot.
With a whoosh, the black dot flashed and the collapsed world disappeared, leaving behind a giant circular hole that was hundreds of meters wide.
On the other hand, Li Wuyi was still standing in place, the Space Laws on his body floating up and down, finally managing to resist this terrifying power at the critical moment. When the black dot disappeared, his distorted figure returned to normal.
Li Wuyi finally smiled, “Although it’s not bad, it’s not enough!”
As soon as the last word left his mouth, he appeared in front of Yang Kai and struck out with his palm.
Yang Kai’s figure shot backwards, directly disappearing into the void, leaving behind an afterimage.
After the afterimages were scattered, Li Wuyi took a step forward and chased after him in the void.
On the empty plain, two figures, one in front and one behind, suddenly disappeared and reappeared. Whether it was their disappearance or their appearance, there was no sign at all. If anyone were to see them here, they would probably think they were seeing things, their flickering figures appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Perhaps they were still here at this moment, but in the next instant, they were already a hundred kilometers away.
As they chased and fleeing, their positions were constantly changing. It was impossible to determine who was chasing and who was fleeing.
What others couldn’t see, countless twists and turns in the void, countless confrontations…
At a certain moment, with two swooshing sounds, Li Wuyi and Yang Kai’s figures changed from illusory to solid, appearing at the same time. They were still at their original position, maintaining the same distance as before, as if they had never moved.
As their eyes met, Yang Kai frowned while Li Wuyi wore a smile on his face, a look of relief flashing across his eyes as his cold killing intent dissipated.
Licking his dry lips, Yang Kai asked, “What is Senior's intention?”
At the beginning, Li Wuyi’s killing intent had been overwhelming, almost as if he wanted to kill Yang Kai here, but as they fought, Yang Kai realized that he was mostly being tested, and his thick murderous intent was only to force him to use his full strength. From beginning to end, Li Wuyi had only used his Space Laws, but with his strength, how could he not have some powerful artifacts?
If he really wanted to kill him, it was impossible for Li Wuyi to not use his artifact’s power.
However, what Yang Kai couldn’t figure out was, what was he testing him for at this time? If there was really something, why couldn’t he just tell him?
Li Wuyi smiled and said, “Heavenly Fate Transformation, Profound Heaven Present, it's time to compete for the Great Dao!”
Yang Kai blinked a few times before his expression suddenly became serious as he exclaimed, “Senior means…”
Li Wuyi nodded, “Exactly what you think.”
Seeing him admit it, Yang Kai’s blood began to boil and he couldn’t help feeling his mouth go dry. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he asked, “What does the Great Dao Competition have to do with this saying?”
Li Wuyi chuckled lightly, “The place where the Great Dao contended is within the Profound Heaven Temple.”
“Profound Heaven Temple?” Yang Kai looked at him in surprise, “What kind of place is that?”
“I’m not sure, I’ve only heard of it before,” Li Wuyi frowned, seemingly unable to determine what Profound Heaven Temple was, but since it was called Profound Heaven Temple, it was naturally a mysterious place.
Previously, he had been trying to figure out what these words meant, but after hearing Li Wuyi’s explanation, he finally understood.
The 'Profound Heaven Present' should be the appearance of the Profound Heaven Palace.
The proverbs Great Emperor Tian Shu and Yang Kai had received from the Heavens were obviously referring to the appearance of the Profound Heaven Temple.
With his hands behind his back, Li Wuyi leisurely said, “A hundred years after the Battle of the Great Emperors in the Star Fragments Sea, the Profound Heaven Temple opened, and anyone who had the qualifications to enter it in the Star Boundary would seek their own opportunities and compete for the Great Dao. At that time, the opening of the Profound Heaven Temple helped Senior Beast Martial, Senior Ming Yue, Senior Bing Yu, Senior Hua Ying, and that Can Ye ascend to the Great Emperor’s position.” After a pause, Li Wuyi smiled and asked, “Do you know why there were five?”
Yang Kai asked thoughtfully, “Five Great Emperors died in that battle?”
The battle between the Great Emperors of the Star Fragments Sea had been a battle between the Star Boundary’s Great Emperors and Wu Kuang. In that battle, Wu Kuang had single-handedly resisted the joint forces of the other nine Great Emperors. Although he had also been beaten to a pulp, the Heaven Devourer Battle Law had allowed him to kill Great Emperor Cyan Lotus, Great Emperor Yuan Ding, Great Emperor Flame Martial, and Great Emperor Azure Sea before his death.
That battle had been unprecedented since ancient times and had shaken the world. In the long history of the Star Boundary, there had never been such an intense battle.
Yang Kai’s current Mountain River Bell was the Origin Treasure of Great Emperor Yuan Ding, and the Phoenix True Fire that Liu Yan had obtained was inherited from Flame Martial Great Emperor.
