Yu Kai was suddenly confronted by this treacherous and powerful tactic. His heart tightened, a chill running from his feet to his forehead. He keenly sensed that the life force within his body was being siphoned away at a terrifying rate by the opponent's mysterious power, like a glutton. With each second, his vitality was fading like sand in an hourglass. If he couldn't find a way to break through, once his life force was gone, he would face death.
In this life-or-death situation, Yu Kai's mind raced like a precision engine, frantically pondering the treasure trove of knowledge within him. "Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; they mutually promote and restrain each other; metal overcomes wood!" Instantly, a flash of inspiration, like lightning piercing the darkness, flashed through his mind, instantly allowing him to grasp the key to breaking the deadlock.
Without hesitation, Yu Kai exerted all his might to activate the Law of Gold he possessed. His hands formed seals with a swift movement, like a phantom, and arcane runes danced and flickered at his fingertips. The immense power of the Law of Gold surged from his body like a surging golden torrent, instantly coalescing into a shield before him that shone with brilliant golden light. This shield was no ordinary object. Its surface was covered in fine golden lines, each radiating a sharp and powerful aura, as if countless blades were hidden within, poised for impact.
As the strange, life-draining force surged toward Yu Kai like a wolf pouncing on its prey, it instantly collided violently with the golden shield. Instantly, a flash of light erupted, and a ceaseless sizzling sound filled the air, as if the two forces were engaged in a thrilling life-or-death struggle. The sharp force of the Golden Law, like countless sharp blades, fiercely penetrated the mysterious force. Though powerful and strange, the mysterious force gradually twisted and deformed under the restraint of the Golden Law, and the once unstoppable draining force was abruptly curbed.
Yu Kai hadn't anticipated that the Law of Wood could be deployed in such a sinister way, draining his opponent's vitality. If he hadn't mastered the Law of Metal and precisely employed a restraining technique at this crucial moment, he would have been doomed.
"Alright, you know the Law of Gold. My trick won't work on you. You've passed!" Seeing this, Lin Yue's face lit up with a playful smile, and she chuckled as she finished speaking. Her body gradually faded, like a wisp of smoke, slowly transforming into a pure force of law, merging into Yu Kai's body.
Yu Kai quickly bowed respectfully to express his sincere gratitude. Then, he rapidly channeled his spiritual energy, concentrating on absorbing the insights Lin Yue had shared. He integrated this understanding with his own learning, repeatedly rethinking and integrating it in his mind. After a period of intense contemplation and meticulous manipulation of his spiritual energy, he successfully created the ninth move of the Moon Spirit Sword—Withering and Flourishing Life-Snatching Slash! This move skillfully blended the vitality and decay of the Law of Wood with the sharpness and restraint of the Law of Metal, creating a strikingly powerful blend of strength and flexibility.
Yu Kai was secretly delighted and was about to face the next test when he heard a voice say, "It seems you have a good understanding. You have gained a lot from this!"
Yu Kai immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man, lithe as a swallow, his hair flowing freely in the wind. He exuded an air of unfettered freedom. He wore a robe as white as snow, embroidered with pale blue runes. The runes seemed to possess life, dancing in the wind and emitting a mysterious and gentle luster. "Senior, your praise is too great! I am truly humbled," Yu Kai quickly responded humbly.
"Okay, use the move you just learned to see if I, Feng Yichen, have the speed to handle it." After Feng Yichen said this, he released a powerful aura, and he was full of confidence, as if nothing in the world could stump him.
"Please teach me, Senior!" Yu Kai didn't dare to slack off even a little bit, and fiercely launched the ninth move he had just mastered—the Withered and Flourishing Life-Snatching Slash. In an instant, an incomparably powerful sword intent, carrying a strange and majestic force, surged towards Feng Yichen like a surging tide.
Faced with such a fierce sword strike, Feng Yichen's expression suddenly changed. He quickly unleashed the powerful Law of Wind, and his figure vanished like a ghost. The powerful sword intent slashed fiercely across the square, creating a massive breach with a deafening roar. Smoke and dust billowed, spreading like surging waves and enveloping the entire area in chaos.
Feng Yichen's figure fell in the distance. His youthful face was rapidly aging. He stared at the panting Yu Kai and couldn't help but curse, "Pervert!" Then he transformed into a breeze and merged into Yu Kai's body.
Yu Kai immediately absorbed Feng Yichen's insights into the laws. After recovering, he successively defeated Lan Qin, who controlled the laws of water, and Yan Lie, who controlled the laws of fire. He cleverly combined the incompatible properties of water and fire to create the tenth form of the Moon Spirit Sword—Flame Wave Sword Prison. With this move, he shattered Sun Yuechi's gravity field in one fell swoop, injuring him.
Yu Kai marveled at the sheer number of laws in the world, each possessing its own unique wonders and astonishing power. He then engaged in a fierce confrontation with Zhao Meng, who controlled the Law of Force, ultimately achieving a bitter victory. His mech was shattered by Zhao Meng's blows, and it took a long time to recover. However, his mastery of the Laws of Force and Gravity significantly increased his combat power.
Yu Kai fully expected to be unstoppable among his peers. However, he encountered the Night Owl Dragon, master of the laws of darkness. The moment the Night Owl Dragon appeared, the entire square was plunged into endless darkness, as if enveloped by a vast black curtain. Yu Kai was immediately at a loss, unable to locate the Night Owl Dragon in the vast darkness. After a long period of adjustment, he finally found an opportunity, cut a gap in the darkness, and burst through. Using the speed of the wind, he repeatedly dodged the Night Owl Dragon's dark envelopment, ultimately defeating it with the divine thunder of heavenly punishment.
After mastering the laws of darkness, Yu Kai couldn't help but marvel at its wonders, and was full of anticipation for the laws he would face in the future.
Next, Bai Li, the ruler of the Law of Light, appeared. Her complexion was as white as jade, her eyes pure and flawless, and she emanated a gentle and holy light, like a messenger of light descending into the world. She wore a white robe embroidered with a golden sun pattern, adding a touch of sacredness.
Yu Kai directly employed the Law of Darkness, engaging her in a fierce confrontation of light and darkness. In this thrilling encounter, his mastery of the Law of Darkness grew ever more refined. From initial resistance to a decisive counterattack, he gained immensely. Ultimately, he triumphed over his opponent.
Just as Yu Kai was rejoicing at having mastered yet another law, a strong sense of danger suddenly surged over him. He quickly dispersed his spiritual energy and cautiously searched everywhere, but he couldn't find the source of the danger. However, he trusted his intuition and didn't dare to be careless.
However, a voice exploded in his mind like thunder: "Your soul defense is so weak. If I had acted rashly just now, you would have died!"
Yu Kai was startled. "Soul!" He immediately checked his soul sea. This soul sea had only formed in his mind after he broke through the Saint Emperor realm, and Yu Kai still didn't fully understand its function. At this moment, he knew that there might be a huge loophole in his soul defense. A new challenge seemed to be quietly approaching...
