Chapter 1578: A Resounding Slap

Upon gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and becoming the controller of a world's Heavenly Dao, a martial artist would develop a mysterious connection with that small world.

Through this connection, the martial artist could mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao for their own use.

This was what was meant by the so-called controller of an ownerless world!

But Ye Yuan had just severed that connection.

That meant he was no longer the controller now.

None present were fools; how could they not understand what had happened?

Their faces showed expressions of extreme shock, utterly baffled by Ye Yuan's move.

"Are you at ease now? I'm giving you this chance for a fair fight!" Ye Yuan said calmly, as if doing something trivial.

Tian Nie was stunned for a full ten breaths before slowly coming to his senses.

"Hahaha... You actually severed the Heavenly Dao! You really severed the Heavenly Dao!" After coming to, Tian Nie was ecstatic, laughing uncontrollably.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that this Ye Yuan was a fool!

A complete fool!

He, the Evil God Tian Nie, had spent three hundred thousand years to attain the realm of controller.

But this brat, without even blinking, had severed the Heavenly Dao!

The confidence that had just been crushed into pieces by Ye Yuan instantly returned to him.

That feeling of looking down on the world was back!

Ye Yuan was no longer the controller; he was the strongest in the Immortal Forest Domain!

A fair fight!

To hell with a fair fight!

Only a fool would fight you fair and square!

"Kid, I really admire your guts! The controller of the Heavenly Dao, and you just cut it off!" Tian Nie said smugly.

Ye Yuan looked at Tian Nie calmly and said indifferently, "Just the controller of a small world. Only a frog at the bottom of a well like you would take it seriously."

Tian Nie laughed loudly, "Yes, you've seen the outside world, so a small world's controller is indeed nothing. But in the Immortal Forest Domain, I am the strongest!"

No one could understand why Ye Yuan would do such a thing.

"What is Ye Yuan trying to do? He severed the Heavenly Dao; who in the Immortal Forest Domain can still oppose the Evil God Tian Nie?"

"Ye Yuan is too reckless! He doesn't naively think that the Evil God Tian Nie will fight him fair and square, does he?"

"Ye Yuan might have been blinded by anger and wanted to crush the opponent with true strength. But he severed the Heavenly Dao, while the Evil God Tian Nie hasn't!"

"Does Ye Yuan have some other trick up his sleeve?"

"Under these circumstances, what other trick could there be? I can't even imagine!"

...

Just now, when Ye Yuan swatted Tian Nie like a fly, they had felt quite satisfied.

Who would have thought that in an instant, the situation would take a dramatic turn.

Ye Yuan's move had tipped the scales again.

Ning Siyu looked thoughtfully at Ye Yuan high in the sky. She knew Ye Yuan's combat power was extremely strong; in a fair fight, Tian Nie would never be a match for Ye Yuan.

But the question was, how would Ye Yuan counter the might of the Heavenly Dao?

Unless a Divine Lord realm expert came, she couldn't think of any means Ye Yuan had to break the Heavenly Dao's power.

Suddenly, Tian Nie's gaze turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Kid, you're asking for death! The humiliation you brought me just now, I will repay a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

Evil God's Palm!

Tian Nie shouted fiercely and struck out with his palm toward Ye Yuan.

The next moment, his expression became extremely interesting.

It had failed again!

He still couldn't mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Ye Yuan has already severed the Heavenly Dao, and Tian Nie is now the sole ruler of the Immortal Forest Domain. Why can't he still control the Heavenly Dao?"

"Hahaha... I get it. Ye Yuan deliberately tricked him!"

"That guy thought he got a bargain, but he never expected Ye Yuan was just playing him. The Evil God's palm strike, hahaha, it's hilarious!"

...

Tian Nie's expression couldn't have been uglier. He felt his worldview had collapsed.

A hint of panic appeared in his eyes again. "Impossible! I am clearly the sole ruler. Why can I still not mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

Ye Yuan looked at him as if he were an idiot and said calmly, "Are you brainless? Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? Would I hand over my life to you? When I severed the Heavenly Dao, I was very sure it was useless to me."

Tian Nie's gaze sharpened. He was completely losing his mind.

He finally realized that Ye Yuan had deliberately tricked him!

"Kid, you seem quite pleased with yourself! But... have you forgotten something?" Tian Nie said coldly.

Ye Yuan feigned surprise. "Oh? What did I forget?"

Tian Nie sneered, "You forgot that I am two minor realms above you! I stand at the peak of the Return to Void realm!"

Ye Yuan smiled. "Is that so? You're so formidable! I said earlier that I want a fair fight with you, and I will defeat you honorably!"

Tian Nie laughed coldly. "Defeat me? You? Even without the power of the Heavenly Dao, killing you is effortless! Let me show you my true strength!"

As he spoke, Tian Nie fully unleashed the aura of the Great Perfection of Return to Void.

A gleaming curved blade appeared in his hand, unmistakably a Heavenly Divine Artifact.

Tian Nie grinned fiercely. "Heavenly Moon Mad Blade! Kid, prepare to die!"

The strike was unstoppable, its momentum utterly terrifying.

Even Fang Tian, Tian Li, and the others felt their hearts race at the sight of this strike.

They couldn't help but look at Ye Yuan with concern, wondering if he could truly stand against Tian Nie.

Tian Nie's speed was extreme; in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Ye Yuan.

As before, Ye Yuan did not move. He stood with his hands behind his back.

Tian Nie's heart surged with joy. At such close range, Ye Yuan absolutely could not evade this strike.

But just then, Tian Nie's vision blurred, and Ye Yuan vanished.

Alarmed, he quickly withdrew his blade to defend himself.

"Slap!"

A resounding slap echoed through the heavens, reaching everyone's ears.

Tian Nie's body shot toward the ground like a cannonball, once again smashing a huge crater.

Ning Siyu saw this and sneered, "Fool. Even a Half-Step Divine Lord is no match for Master Ye. With your lousy skills, you think you can hit him?"

"Whoosh!"

Tian Nie leaped out of the giant pit, black energy surging around him.

He was utterly enraged and roared, "Kid, I'll kill you, skin you alive!"

Another earth-shattering strike!

But...

"Slap!"

Another resounding slap!

Many people involuntarily touched their own faces, as if that slap had landed on them.

It really hurt!

"Aaaah! Ye Yuan! I'll kill you!" Tian Nie roared as he charged again.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

Slap after slap, Ye Yuan's figure flickered unpredictably.

But each slap was clearly audible.
