Chapter 2611: Perfection

From that day on, every ten days or half a month, the two would engage in a great battle on Xianyun Mountain.

After each battle, they would go into seclusion separately to comprehend the insights gained from the fight.

Ye Yuan and Han Yi were very closely matched in strength; neither could gain the upper hand over the other.

In every battle, both fought until they were nearly exhausted.

The fights between them were also marked by alternating victories and defeats.

However, at the beginning, Han Yi had a slightly greater chance of winning.

After all, he had comprehended the Five Laws Manifestation for a long time, and his first form was more mature.

But as time passed, Han Yi's advantage was steadily eroded by Ye Yuan.

Both were peerless geniuses, and in such evenly matched battles, they progressed extremely quickly.

Nevertheless, Ye Yuan was ultimately superior.

Although both were advancing rapidly, Ye Yuan's progress was clearly faster.

Three years later, the odds of victory between Ye Yuan and Han Yi were essentially even.

Another three years later, Han Yi rarely managed to defeat Ye Yuan.

After another two years, Han Yi could basically only take a beating.

Nine years later, Han Yi's first form, the Five-Star Lotus, finally reached perfection!

As a result, his strength greatly increased, and he suppressed Ye Yuan once again.

Imperfect Five Elements and perfect Five Elements were completely different concepts.

The cycle of the Five Elements, generating endlessly, was undoubtedly one of the most powerful rule loops!

However, the Qiankun Dao, which integrated the three rules of Sword, Void, and Formation, was in no way inferior.

Han Yi's strength lay in his higher realm of rules.

Yet Han Yi did not enjoy his advantage for long.

Five years later, Ye Yuan caught up again.

Their combat power was once again equal.

In the end, Han Yi was once again completely suppressed by Ye Yuan.

This time, he was thoroughly convinced.

From Xianyun Mountain, rumbling sounds could be heard from time to time.

Two figures crisscrossed in the air, startling all the Manifestation realm experts watching.

Though all were Manifestation realm experts, the gap was enormous!

"Lord Ye Yuan is truly a monster! In just fourteen years, his first form is nearly perfected!"

"What's terrifying is his combat talent! In these recent matches, he's suppressed the Great Saint Master so much that he can't even lift his head!"

"Who says otherwise? I originally thought the Great Saint Master's talent was unparalleled, but after seeing Lord Ye Yuan, I realize there's always someone better!"

...

Over fourteen years of battles, these people had witnessed Ye Yuan's growth firsthand.

Those who could comprehend the Great Dao Manifestation were one in ten thousand in talent.

Yet among this group, Han Yi's talent was absolutely unmatched!

But compared to Ye Yuan, Han Yi fell far short.

Thus, they could not help but sigh with emotion.

Boom!

Seizing the moment when Han Yi missed a move, Ye Yuan pressed his advantage relentlessly, his Qiankun Twin Swords striking vital points with every thrust, finally defeating Han Yi completely.

"I concede!"

Han Yi had no choice but to admit defeat.

The Qiankun Twin Swords returned to their positions; the young sprout had grown considerably, and if it continued to develop, it would become a seedling.

This also indicated that Ye Yuan's first form had reached great perfection.

Han Yi rolled his eyes and said discontentedly, "You bastard, can't you save me some face?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Face is earned, not given. If I let you win, what's the point of this sparring?"

Han Yi curled his lips and said unhappily, "You're so boring! No more fighting! There's no point in continuing anyway. I'm going to ascend!"

Ye Yuan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, there's no point in fighting anymore. Both of us have hit a bottleneck; continuing like this won't lead to improvement. It's time to break through to the Great Extreme Heaven rank."

Both Ye Yuan's Myriad Manifestation Sacred Tree and Han Yi's Five-Star Lotus had reached the limit of the Small Extreme Heaven rank, making further breakthroughs difficult.

To advance further, they had to break through to the Great Extreme Heaven rank.

Breaking through to the Great Extreme Heaven rank was just a matter of course for these two.

If they had wanted to, they could have broken through long ago.

However, a trace of reluctance flashed across Han Yi's face, and he said wistfully, "After this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again."

Unlike Ye Yuan, after ascending, he would go to the second layer of the Exile Ground.

But Ye Yuan would be directly teleported out.

Having fought together for fourteen years and progressed together, it was natural for them to develop a sense of mutual admiration.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I'll wait for you outside!"

Han Yi's whole body trembled, and his gaze sharply turned to Ye Yuan.

But soon, it dimmed again, and he said bitterly, "It's useless. This Exile Ground was personally built by Zhuo Buqun. Even if I reach the Great Perfection of the Jade Emperor Heaven, I can't get out, let alone being at the Small Extreme Heaven rank."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "So what? Only with an unyielding heart can one reverse the heavens. Are you resigned to your fate?"

The martial artists in the Exile Ground all had reasons deserving death.

But each person's situation was different.

Han Yi had ascended from a great thousand world together with his wife.

They were a fairy couple, and Han Yi's wife was very beautiful.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince of a small country took a fancy to her and forcibly violated her.

His wife, being chaste and resolute, felt she had no face to face Han Yi and committed suicide.

At that time, Han Yi had just ascended and was not strong; how could he contend with an entire country?

In his rage, Han Yi trained madly, not only quickly reaching the Small Extreme Heaven rank's great perfection but also comprehending the Great Dao Manifestation.

Who would have thought that in his fury, he single-handedly annihilated an entire country!

This incident caused a huge uproar.

Later, he was captured and thrown into the Exile Ground.

After learning about this, Ye Yuan could not help but sigh.

Han Yi's methods were too extreme, and being captured was his own fault.

However, his nature was not originally like this.

Anyone would likely go mad if their beloved wife suffered such humiliation.

Han Yi's gaze sharpened, then he revealed a smile and said, "Good lad, I, Han Yi, never resign to fate! After you go out, make sure to train hard. Don't let me surpass you when I get out!"

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "You? You're not qualified!"

Han Yi's face darkened, but he also felt it was unlikely.

This kid was simply a monster.

Han Yi thought he was monstrous enough, but this kid was even more monstrous!

In future training, barring accidents, Ye Yuan would only leave him further and further behind.

However, Ye Yuan's monstrousness also deeply stimulated him.

Han Yi secretly resolved to work hard and not fall behind Ye Yuan.

"You really aren't cute at all! But once you go out, you'll be burdened by worldly affairs, while I can only advance through slaughter. I may not be inferior to you!" Han Yi's eyes blazed; he was not one to easily admit defeat.

That day, on the summit of Xianyun Mountain, two beams of formation light descended.

Watching the two disappear, the crowd showed expressions of relief.

"Finally, they're gone! With those two around, I started to doubt my own existence."

"Their talent is too terrifying. Being with them makes you lose motivation!"

"I need to train hard and regain my confidence!"
