This time, Yang Wu did not gain the upper hand in the collision.
In truth, the application of force used in the Nine Cauldrons World did not apply here. Although Yang Wu had not used his full strength, deploying only about two million kilograms of force, he was still sent reeling by the recoil.
The power Elder Wu unleashed did not exceed his own, yet the combat prowess displayed truly exceeded Yang Wu's expectations.
"A fine opponent. I hope this provides enough tempering." Yang Wu's gaze sharpened, and he struck again with his blade.
Seeing the "strength" Yang Wu unleashed, Elder Wu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At the very least, Yang Wu's strength was not as formidable as the Void Realm Great Perfection he had imagined; this battle could truly be considered a "spar."
Through the sparring, Yang Wu repeatedly contemplated the Law of the Origin of Gold Secret Technique, Meteor Blade, while occasionally contemplating the Law of the Origin of Wood Secret Technique, Returning Origin Heart Sutra.
"The clarity the Golden Horned Beast has when contemplating the Law of the Origin of Gold is indeed incomparable to other Source Laws." Yang Wu wore a smile.
His talent, "Adamantine Body," had originally been quite lackluster, but after the augmentation, his talent for the Law of the Origin of Gold now rivaled that of the Golden Horned Beast.
He had now obtained two Source Law secret techniques, corresponding to the Laws of the Origin of Gold and Wood.
Relying on this talent, his consciousness could sense the fluctuations of the Law of the Origin of Gold with unprecedented clarity.
Clearly, the clarity with which he contemplated the Law of the Origin of Gold far surpassed that of the Law of the Origin of Wood, so his rate of progress would naturally be faster.
If his clarity in perceiving the Law of the Origin of Wood was one unit, then his clarity in sensing the Law of the Origin of Gold reached one hundredfold.
"My talent for the Law of the Origin of Gold is a hundred times that of other Source Law talents. It is quite similar to Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast." Yang Wu's gaze narrowed.
"A hundredfold clarity makes comprehending the Law of the Origin of Gold much easier."
"Add to that my metamorphosed Planet-level Bloodline, as well as the talent and comprehension boosted after fulfilling my obsession... this rate of progress is simply exaggerated!"
Under the repeated collisions, Yang Wu was also making insane progress.
Boom!
As Yang Wu's thoughts shifted, blade and sword collided once more, sending Yang Wu flying backward!
However, as Yang Wu continued to improve, even realizing an artistic conception, he gradually went from being pushed back dozens of zhang, to ten zhang, then to just a few zhang...
"His blade technique is already at the level of returning to simplicity..." Elder Wu muttered to himself.
"I wonder if he realized this level long ago, or if he just attained it now."
In Elder Wu's view, Yang Wu was at the Void Realm Great Perfection, so it was obvious he had long since attained the level of returning to simplicity; he leaned more toward this conjecture.
Yet he did not realize that Yang Wu had not reached this level at all previously.
It was only through the tempering of sparring with Elder Wu that he had progressed to this stage.
For Yang Wu to improve so rapidly from a casual spar showed that his talent and comprehension had reached an incredibly exaggerated degree.
"So this is the profound mystery of a domain!"
After fighting for who knows how long, Yang Wu's gaze suddenly sharpened in the midst of sparring with Elder Wu, and a flash of enlightenment arose in his heart.
He now understood where he fell short compared to a true domain expert.
The path ahead was now clear in his mind.
He already knew the characteristics of a domain and the various bottlenecks involved.
But it is easier to know than to do; even though he saw the path, crossing it would not happen overnight, and his realm could not skyrocket instantly.
Even if he grasped what a domain was, there was no possibility of turning the tables in an instant.
After battle upon battle, Yang Wu appeared quite disheveled.
However, his eyes grew increasingly sharp, keen as a heavenly blade, cutting through the void of the universe, possessing a powerful essence, energy, and spirit that made others tremble.
He was like a blade forged a thousand times, finally quenched and sharpened, about to bloom with world-shaking brilliance!
Clearly, amidst the frenzied fighting, Yang Wu had fallen into a strange state of epiphany.
An epiphany is something to be sought, not expected.
Only when one's heart, thoughts, and environment are perfectly aligned for a fleeting moment can one touch upon an epiphany.
Evidently, under the pressure of Elder Wu, his heart was at unprecedented peace and emptiness; he seemed to understand the mindset Hong and Lei Shen had held before.
Boom!!
This time, Yang Wu slashed out again!
This time, Yang Wu did not retreat; instead, he easily pushed back Elder Wu!
"Huh?!" Yang Wu came to his senses and could not help but be shocked.
"This is..."
Yang Wu sensed his own Origin Force, telekinesis, willpower, strength, and even his very thoughts seemed to fuse into one, even able to draw upon invisible power from the cosmic space!
This was a new realization, a Domain Realm that stood above artistic conception!
With a thought from Yang Wu, the void within a hundred-meter radius faintly underwent a strange distortion.
It was as if a transparent sphere with a radius of over a hundred meters had suddenly appeared around him.
Yang Wu stood at the center of the sphere, like a god, radiating endless light.
Possessing a domain is difficult; before Luo Feng took over the Golden Horned Beast, he had been unable to possess a domain!
People like Hong and Lei Shen were masters of Neijiaquan; Lei Shen simultaneously absorbed the essence of Chinese Neijiaquan and Ancient Indian Yoga...
After repeated hard cultivation, they finally broke through the highest realms of Neijiaquan and ancient yoga—"Taiji Perfection" and "Unity of Heaven and Man"—to reach the higher level of a domain!
"It is truly worthy of a talent for the Law of the Origin of Gold that rivals the Golden Horned Beast." Yang Wu was filled with emotion.
"Under a hundredfold clarity, after a single great battle, I have actually bypassed artistic conception and directly realized a domain."
On the other side, seeing Yang Wu stop the sparring, Elder Wu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
During this great battle, Elder Wu had indeed been able to suppress Yang Wu at first, but later, Yang Wu's strength grew stronger and stronger.
The previous strike had even sent him flying, which he found truly unbelievable.
"Fluctuations of the Power of Gold Element Heaven and Earth?" Elder Wu looked at Yang Wu with shock; at this moment, he seemed to understand something.
In truth, Yang Wu had not been a Void Realm Great Perfection expert at all; the reason he could fly might have been due to some other cause.
"Grandmaster, what is it?" Zhuge Yuanhong, who had been watching the battle, looked at Elder Wu with surprise.
"Yuanhong, did you feel it?" Elder Wu said with a solemn expression.
"I felt... there were indeed fluctuations of Gold Element Spiritual Power, but they were very faint. Could there be something special about it?" Zhuge Yuanhong asked in confusion.
"It is not the fluctuation of ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth." Elder Wu looked toward Yang Wu.
"Void Realm?!" Zhuge Yuanhong's eyes widened, his heart surging with stormy waves.
Zhuge Yuanhong was only one final step away, dreaming of breaking through, but this step was incredibly difficult.
"Many thanks to Elder Wu for helping me break through." Yang Wu smiled, then flicked his hand, and a small Mu Ya Crystal flew toward Elder Wu.
"The two of you, I have just had an epiphany and need to go into seclusion to cultivate. No need to see me off."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wu rose and flew away from the wilderness.
After finding an uninhabited place, Yang Wu returned to the Swallowing the Stars World.
