Chapter 1809: Battle Against Chiba

"You don't need to remind me of the gap between the Divine Lord Realm and the Divine King Realm. I know very well what I'm doing. The more you say, the more it reveals your inner hesitation." Ye Yuan looked at Chiba and said calmly.

Ye Yuan saw through Chiba's guilt at a glance.

A Divine Lord challenging a Divine King—such a suicidal act, if Chiba were confident, he wouldn't have hesitated at all.

Yet he hesitated.

This showed that the strength Ye Yuan had displayed before had left an indelible impression on Chiba.

As Ye Yuan's cultivation improved, Chiba's uncertainty grew stronger.

That was why he dared not accept the challenge.

Because punishing Ye Yuan through sect rules was much safer.

Chiba sneered, "Heh, relying on you? I just disdain to make a move. Since you're asking for death, I'll avenge Han Lin with my own hands!"

Ye Yuan smiled disdainfully, "So much nonsense! A single slap could settle this, what are you hesitating for?"

Jiang Hong frowned and began to re-evaluate Ye Yuan.

With his insight, he could naturally see that Chiba was truly shaken!

Although the gap in their cultivation levels was vast, Ye Yuan had been in control from start to finish.

If they were evenly matched, such a flaw would be fatal!

Did Ye Yuan truly have this strength, or was he bluffing?

"Woodcutter, are you really that optimistic about this kid?" Jiang Hong couldn't help asking.

The Woodcutter grinned honestly, "Hehe, I know what you want to ask, but I don't know either. Maybe Ye Yuan will lose! But I do know that even if Ye Yuan can't win, Chiba won't have an easy time taking him down."

A strange expression crossed Jiang Hong's face. He thought, this guy isn't even confident himself, yet he lets the kid go up?

This guy is truly an incomprehensible madman!

Junyi Sword in hand, Ye Yuan said calmly, "Since you won't make a move, I will!"

With that, Ye Yuan thrust his sword forward and charged.

The sharp sword aura made everyone's expression change.

"Fifth-stage Sword Dao, is that his reliance? Foolish!"

Elder Tao saw this and his expression shifted slightly, but his words were full of disdain.

Comprehending fifth-stage Sword Dao at the Divine Lord Realm was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.

However, using it to contend with a Divine King was clearly insufficient.

Chiba, however, looked as if facing a great enemy. Gritting his teeth, he said, "No matter what laws you have, I'll crush you with sheer cultivation!"

With that, Chiba's aura surged wildly, and the arena was filled with his World Power.

At that moment, the entire arena seemed to become Chiba's world.

Ye Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, gaining an intuitive understanding of the Divine King's power.

If a Divine Lord's World Power was but a trickle, then a Divine King's World Power was a mighty river.

World Power was a martial artist's control over a realm.

A Divine King's control over this realm had reached a meticulous level.

Only a Divine King could contend with a Divine King!

Of course, Ye Yuan was an exception.

His figure began to flicker unpredictably, and the surrounding space emitted strange fluctuations.

If Chiba's World Power was an impenetrable shield, then Ye Yuan was a sharp dagger.

This was a clash of spear and shield!

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Ye Yuan broke through the layers of World Power and actually reached Chiba.

Seeing this, Chiba's pupils shrank.

A Divine Lord could break through a Divine King's World Power?

After all, a Divine King's World Power was more than a hundred times stronger than a Divine Lord's!

"This guy's Space Law has also grown much stronger!"

With this, Chiba dared not be careless. He immediately met Ye Yuan, and the two clashed.

Blades and swords flashed; their moves were incredibly fast, and they were evenly matched.

The onlookers gasped, stunned by the scene before them.

Jiang Hong's mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief. He murmured, "Fifth-stage Sword Law fused with third-stage Space Law... how did this kid... manage that?"

At that moment, he finally understood where Ye Yuan's confidence came from.

With such monstrous talent, he had remained unknown for over two hundred years after joining the sect.

This was simply a joke!

Compared to Ye Yuan, even Bai Li Qingyan was nothing special.

Such a genius had been sent to Tianying Peak—which pig did that?

Jiang Hong was almost roaring inside. They, as teaching elders, did not belong to any faction.

If even this position was controlled by factions, the Shadow Moon Sect would soon decline.

So when he saw Ye Yuan's terrifying strength, Jiang Hong's first thought was to curse!

Now it seemed that Ye Yuan had been deliberately sidelined to Tianying Peak out of jealousy.

No wonder Ye Yuan was so resentful; anyone would be unwilling.

During these two hundred years, Ye Yuan hadn't just been breaking through in cultivation; he had also been battling himself in the Death Training Space.

His Sword Law had broken through to the fifth stage, and his Space Law had reached the third-stage Great Perfection.

With the fusion of the two, Ye Yuan's combat power was many times stronger than before his seclusion.

Though the Divine King was powerful, Ye Yuan's cultivation method was also formidable. At the same Divine Lord Ninth Layer, he was far stronger than his peers.

With a powerful cultivation method and strong law fusion, the gap between Ye Yuan and a First Layer Divine King was not as vast as others imagined.

Of course, it was by no means easy.

Chiba was no ordinary First Layer Divine King; his law comprehension was also high, and his omnipresent World Power gave him absolute suppression over Ye Yuan.

Nevertheless, this did not diminish people's astonishment at Ye Yuan's strength.

"Haha, so what if you can fight above your level? Aren't you still being crushed by me? Foolish thing, did you really think you could defy the heavens? I won't waste time with you. Now, let me show you my true strength and send you on your way!"

Chiba moved his long spear, and a terrifying aura locked onto Ye Yuan.

"Heavenly Dragon Roaring Fang Spear!"

Violent World Power surged madly toward the spear tip.

It was as if the entire world had been reduced to this single spear.

At that moment, people finally felt Chiba's power.

The spear seemed to transform into a giant dragon, spewing forth a trembling aura.

"Not good, this spear is too strong. Ye Yuan is in danger!"

Seeing this spear, Bai Li Qingyan couldn't help but pale.

But the Woodcutter chuckled, "No need to rush. Chiba has his trump card, but Ye Yuan hasn't shown his yet!"

Sure enough, as his words fell, Ye Yuan's aura grew even stronger.

Surging Chaotic Force poured out without reservation.

Sharp sword aura shot into the sky, and at the same time, the surrounding space became illusory.

"Spirit Hidden Sword!"

Two formidable auras collided violently.

At that moment, the void shattered, divine energy surged, and everyone's expression changed.

"Crack..."

Suddenly, the Junyi Sword in Ye Yuan's hand, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure, shattered into pieces!
