In the Heritage Square, the laws of space and time surged like a surging wave, surging recklessly as if to engulf the entire world. Yu Kai stood in the center of the square, his presence imposing, like a towering mountain, emanating an awe-inspiring aura. He slowly rose, closed his eyes, and sensed the immense, almost terrifying power within him. Over the past decade, he had devoted himself to comprehending the laws of space and time, meticulously studying other laws. Unwittingly, his power had reached the high level of Saint Emperor, like a star quietly rising from the darkness, radiating an increasingly dazzling light.
At that moment, a stern-faced youth appeared from the air. His bronze skin, as if tempered by time and battle, radiated a toughness and a sense of vicissitude. His eyes, dark and deep, like the endless abyss, shone with a chilling determination, as if able to see through all the vanity of the world. He wore a black suit embroidered with dark red runes of destruction. These runes seemed to have life, faintly gleaming with an eerie light. Sharp metal pieces adorned his collar and cuffs, gleaming in the sunlight, sending a chill down his spine.
Upon seeing this, Yu Kai quickly bowed respectfully, his voice booming with reverence, "Yu Kai greets the Heavenly Emperor!" He knew full well that the figure before him was none other than the youthful incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor of Destruction, Xing Jue. Throughout the history of the vast Immortal Realm, Xing Jue was a formidable figure. As one of the four most fearsome Heavenly Emperors, his mastery of the Law of Destruction had inflicted fear upon the ancient surviving races, making him a legend in the hearts of countless people.
Xing Jue waved his hand slightly, his expression nonchalant, "Don't worry about those empty formalities." He raised his head slightly, his gaze gazing upwards, a complex expression in his eyes, a mixture of emotion and reminiscence. He spoke slowly, "Back then, I was brimming with confidence, convinced I was certain to win, and saw no need to hold back. I never imagined that, today, these arrangements would still come in handy. Once, we naively believed that if we could obtain the divine seed, we could successfully become gods, forever free from the oppression of the so-called gods. To this end, we expended all our thoughts and efforts, but in the end, all we obtained was a pseudo-divine seed. Even now, we have no way of knowing whether our original body is dead or alive. Unexpectedly, this action has only made the situation of the vast immortal realm even more difficult..."
"May I ask the Emperor of Heaven, what happened to that pseudo-god species in the end?" Yu Kai asked again with full of curiosity.
Xing Jue looked at Yu Kai quietly, without answering immediately. Yu Kai was suddenly filled with doubts. At this moment, the mysterious spiritual power within him suddenly flashed through his mind. He was startled and hurriedly asked again, "Could it be... could it be that the mysterious spiritual power within me is that false god seed?"
"That's right." Xing Jue nodded slightly, with a look of emotion on his face, "The pseudo-god species has its own intelligence and took the opportunity to escape during our war. But a cause and effect has already been formed between it and us, so sooner or later you and I will meet this day." Thinking that the things they had snatched with so much hardship finally ended up in the hands of the young man in front of him, Xing Jue felt mixed emotions.
"But I still can't fully control it." Yu Kai couldn't help revealing a hint of loss in his tone.
"Do you think it's an ordinary thing that you can easily control? If it weren't for avoiding the gods' pursuit, it would never have easily merged with you." Xing Jue rolled his eyes at him unhappily, then changed the subject and said, "Alright, use the means you have mastered and let me see how powerful this divine seed can be!"
"Yes!" Yu Kai bowed respectfully, and then a shimmering mecha instantly materialized, wrapping his body tightly like an indestructible suit of armor. Simultaneously, the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword emerged, its blade radiating a cool glow that spoke of its extraordinary power. With his ever-increasing mastery of various laws, Yu Kai's sword style was no longer limited to just one or two.
At this moment, Yu Kai's aura soared like a volcanic eruption, the power of the laws surging through him like a raging torrent. With a wave of his hand, he forcibly drew the power of the stars. Like rivers flowing into the sea, all sorts of powerful forces continuously converged on the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword. And at this moment, the mysterious spiritual power within him was poured out without reservation. This strike was the pinnacle of Yu Kai's all-out effort. He intended for its brilliance to rival the heavens and earth; with this single strike, he would challenge the Four Celestial Emperors of his realm and prove his own strength.
Immediately, Yu Kai raised his arm high, wielding the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword with unstoppable force, he slashed fiercely at Xing Jue. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color. The once clear sky was now covered in dark clouds, with thunder and lightning. A fierce wind blew across the entire Inheritance Square, sending sand and rocks flying. A terrifying sword beam, wrapped in the power of various laws, roared out like a roaring beast. As the sword beam streaked like lightning, the surrounding space and time became chaotic and distorted, as if unable to withstand the impact of this overwhelming force.
Watching Yu Kai's terrifying sword strike, Xing Jue no longer dared to underestimate him. The powerful Law of Destruction surged from his body like a raging dragon, and a longsword condensed from that Law of Destruction was firmly grasped in his hand. With a swing of his arm, a sword intent imbued with the will to destroy everything roared towards Yu Kai's sword like a destructive storm.
"Boom!" Centered on the point where the two swords collided, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded, the powerful impact spread wildly in all directions like a surging wave. The entire Heritage Plaza sank violently as if struck by a powerful earthquake. At this critical moment, the surrounding stone statues suddenly illuminated with a soft yet powerful light, like an invisible shield, forcibly holding the shattered void in place.
Under the powerful aftermath of the impact, Yu Kai and Xing Jue were simultaneously sent flying backwards like kites with their strings cut. Yu Kai's armor was now in tatters, covered in dense sword marks. Blood continuously flowed from his wounds, staining the shattered armor red. Xing Jue's condition was equally grim. His black armor had long been torn to shreds by the sword's force, leaving him bloodstained and in a state of extreme disgrace.
"You're very good!" Xing Jue's eyes were full of admiration, and his tone was very refreshing, "Even without that pseudo-god species, you are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with us!" After he finished speaking, his body gradually became ethereal, and the power of the law of destruction that permeated his body became more and more intense. Then, this power, along with Xing Jue's own understanding of the law, merged into Yu Kai's body like a torrent.
