Chapter 1521: Ethereal Sword Art!

"It's useless. Your spatial law is powerful, but your level of comprehension is too low. Give up!" the cold, beautiful woman said indifferently.

"Heh, that's not necessarily true! Fight again!"

Ye Yuan moved, activating Phantom Kill once more.

The cold, beautiful woman said nothing, spreading her Ice Domain, the tip of her sword never leaving Ye Yuan's vicinity.

Both were top experts in the power of laws. For the first time, Ye Yuan's law power met its match.

He pushed his movement technique to the extreme, yet still could not break through the cold, beautiful woman.

Her Ice Domain was like a great net, binding Ye Yuan's hands and feet.

In truth, Ye Yuan was not incapable of defeating the cold, beautiful woman.

Ye Yuan's true killing move was to use the Sun-Shattering technique while in the Phantom Kill state.

The Sun-Shattering technique could counter countless techniques under heaven.

Especially since Ye Yuan was extremely sensitive to sword techniques, he had long found the cold, beautiful woman's weakness.

But doing so would prevent him from gaining insights into the spatial law.

He had to push himself to the limit, to comprehend the spatial law under extreme conditions.

Now, a bond had formed between his sword law and spatial law.

Ye Yuan discovered that communicating with the spatial law through the sword law yielded twice the result with half the effort.

Though previous opponents were strong, none had reached the cold, beautiful woman's level.

Facing her, Ye Yuan truly exerted all his strength.

In this state, Ye Yuan found it easier to break through.

Ye Yuan realized that these ancient prodigies had unique insights into the power of laws.

Like this cold, beautiful woman, who could fuse sword law and ice law to such a degree—she was undoubtedly a genius of her time, unmatched in strength.

This kind of battle was entirely different from Ye Yuan fighting himself in the Death Training Space.

Fighting oneself meant repeated self-transcendence, a vertical development.

Fighting these prodigies meant learning from the strengths of many, a horizontal development.

Ye Yuan could fight himself endlessly, but opportunities to fight these ancient prodigies were rare.

"It's useless. You're consuming divine essence too quickly! If you don't stop, you'll die!" the cold, beautiful woman's voice came coldly.

Though the cold, beautiful woman was an ice beauty, she clearly had a fondness for Ye Yuan's talent, hence the reminder.

But Ye Yuan was stubborn and paid no heed to her words.

"Hmph! Obstinate!"

Seeing that Ye Yuan would not listen, the cold, beautiful woman no longer held back, and her long sword suddenly accelerated.

"Sword Clear as Frost!"

This strike was the culmination of her sword path!

The bitingly cold sword law surged forth, nearly freezing Ye Yuan's Phantom Kill in midair.

A breath of death rushed toward him!

"Pfft!"

Their figures crossed, and their movements instantly froze.

"Drip!"

"Drip!"

A large hole was pierced through Ye Yuan's abdomen, blood gushing out.

"Haha, this kid finally lost! Finally lost! This time, it can't be wrong, right?" Seeing this, Buzhe laughed excitedly.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. The pressure Ye Yuan had brought them was too great.

He had cut through all obstacles and actually reached the thirteenth level!

Especially Di Fan, who had made it to the ninth level and knew well the gap between each level.

One could say the difficulty increased geometrically.

Yet Ye Yuan had surpassed him by four levels.

The gap was too vast!

Every time Ye Yuan passed a level, it was like a mountain pressing on his heart.

Too heavy!

Now that Ye Yuan had lost, they could finally relax.

But soon, their expressions froze.

"Th-this... how is this possible?" Batu exclaimed.

In the projection, the cold, beautiful woman's figure gradually dissipated—a sign of being killed!

"Clearly the cold, beautiful woman won, how... how was she killed?" Di Fan said, puzzled.

In the space, the cold, beautiful woman's figure condensed again, her gaze at Ye Yuan filled with shock.

"You're a madman!" the woman said coldly.

Ye Yuan's condition was miserable. Though he had activated the Tyrant Dragon Rebirth Art, the speed of recovery could not keep up with the destruction caused by the law power.

Hearing her words, Ye Yuan gave a bitter smile. "I won, didn't I? And... I've comprehended it!"

When Ye Yuan was pushed to the limit earlier, his spatial law at the first heaven, initial stage, finally reached perfection!

At that moment, Ye Yuan finally broke through the Ice Domain's blockade, his body eerily shuttling through space, killing the cold, beautiful woman a step ahead.

However, the cold, beautiful woman's Sword Clear as Frost was no slouch either; at such a close distance, it still pierced through Ye Yuan's abdomen.

The final outcome: Ye Yuan was wounded, the cold, beautiful woman dead!

The cold, beautiful woman's eyes shimmered as she said coldly, "You won. Go to the next level! You've comprehended the spatial law, so the next few opponents are no match for you. But be careful of Zheng Jian in the final level, known as the strongest in Ziji Sect's history. They say he's a madman like you!"

Ye Yuan's expression turned serious. For the cold, beautiful woman to speak so gravely, Zheng Jian must be extremely formidable.

After all, the cold, beautiful woman's talent was rare in the world.

To comprehend both sword law and ice law to the third heaven at the Half-Step Return to Void realm and fuse them into one—that was no ordinary feat.

Since arriving in the Tongtian Realm, Ye Yuan had seen many so-called geniuses but had never encountered anyone who could fuse law powers.

He didn't know if anyone among the current group could fuse law powers, but he estimated no one could reach the thirteenth level.

It seemed he really needed to be careful with this Zheng Jian.

Ye Yuan nodded and cupped his hands. "Thank you. I'll be careful!"

The cold, beautiful woman nodded slightly and directly teleported Ye Yuan away.

Within the formation, Ye Yuan's injuries and divine essence rapidly recovered.

"What a powerful formation, even better than ordinary pills! The Ziji Sect's strength back then must have been extraordinary!"

Feeling his injuries quickly healing, Ye Yuan marveled.

"Phantom Kill combined with spatial law is indeed extraordinary! This sword technique can no longer be called Phantom Kill. What name should I give it? Hmm... The essence of this move lies in its ethereal, elusive nature, making it impossible for the opponent to grasp. Why not call it 'Ethereal Sword Art'?" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.

Now, Ye Yuan's sword techniques already contained considerable spatial law power.

The original Phantom Kill move had changed its nature.

This was a move fusing sword law and spatial law, similar to the cold, beautiful woman's Sword Clear as Frost.

With the addition of spatial law, Ye Yuan's sword moves became even more elusive and unpredictable.

Thus, naming this new move 'Ethereal Sword Art' was quite fitting.
