This time, Yang Wu did not have the upper hand in the clash.
Actually, force exertion did not work in the Nine Cauldrons World. Although Yang Wu had not used his full strength and had only unleashed roughly two million kilograms of force, he was still knocked back by the recoil.
The force unleashed by Elder Wu had at least not surpassed his own, but the combat power he displayed had indeed exceeded Yang Wu's expectations.
"A decent opponent. I hope you can temper me enough." Yang Wu's gaze sharpened, and he swung his blade again.
When Elder Wu saw the "strength" Yang Wu had unleashed, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
At least Yang Wu's strength was not as powerful as the Void Realm Great Perfection he had imagined. This battle could truly be considered a "spar"!
Through the sparring, Yang Wu repeatedly comprehended the Law of the Origin of Gold Secret Technique, Meteor Blade, while occasionally comprehending the Law of the Origin of Wood Secret Technique, Returning Origin Heart Sutra.
"The Golden Horned Beast's clarity when comprehending the Law of the Origin of Gold truly cannot be compared to the other Source Laws." A smile appeared on Yang Wu's face.
His talent, "Adamantine Body," had originally been terrible, but after its enhancement, his talent in the Law of the Origin of Gold was already comparable to that of the Golden Horned Beast.
Now, he had obtained two Source Law Secret Techniques: the Law of the Origin of Gold and the Law of the Origin of Wood.
Relying on this talent, his consciousness could sense the fluctuations of the Law of the Origin of Gold with unprecedented clarity.
Clearly, his clarity when comprehending 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 much faster.
If his clarity in comprehending the Law of the Origin of Wood was one unit, then his clarity in sensing the Law of the Origin of Gold had reached a hundredfold.
"His talent in the Law of the Origin of Gold is a hundred times greater than his talent in the other Source Laws. It's indeed about the same as Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast." Yang Wu's gaze sharpened.
"A hundredfold clarity. Comprehending the Law of the Origin of Gold has become much easier."
"On top of that, I've evolved into a Planet-level Bloodline, and my talent and comprehension have improved after fulfilling my obsession... This rate of progress is simply outrageous!"
With each clash, Yang Wu was advancing at a frantic pace.
Boom!
As Yang Wu's thoughts turned, blade and sword collided again, sending Yang Wu flying backward!
However, as Yang Wu continued to improve and even comprehended Artistic Conception, he gradually went from retreating dozens of zhang to ten zhang, then to only several zhang...
"His Blade Technique has already reached the Return to Simplicity level..." Elder Wu muttered.
"I wonder whether he comprehended this level long ago or only just now."
In Elder Wu's view, Yang Wu was at the Void Realm Great Perfection level, so he had clearly comprehended Return to Simplicity long ago. He leaned even more toward this conclusion.
However, he did not know that Yang Wu had not reached this level before.
He had only advanced to this level through tempering himself in his spar with Elder Wu.
Yang Wu had advanced so quickly through an ordinary spar. This alone showed how astonishing his talent and comprehension were.
"So this is the profundity of the Domain!"
After fighting for an unknown length of time, Yang Wu's gaze suddenly sharpened during his spar with Elder Wu, and a trace of understanding rose in his heart.
He now knew exactly where he fell short compared to a true Domain Expert.
As for the path ahead of him, he already understood it clearly.
He had long since known the characteristics and various bottlenecks of the Domain.
But knowing was easier than doing. Even though he had seen the path, truly crossing it was by no means something that could be accomplished in one step, and his realm could not rise rapidly.
Even after comprehending what the Domain was, there was no possibility of turning the tide in an instant.
After battle upon battle, Yang Wu seemed to be in a sorry state.
Yet his eyes grew increasingly sharp, their edge like a heavenly blade cleaving through the cosmic void. A powerful essence, energy, and spirit radiated from him, making others tremble.
He was like a battle blade tempered through a thousand trials. Now, it had finally been quenched and sharpened, and was about to bloom with a world-shaking brilliance!
Clearly, amid the frantic battles, Yang Wu had entered a strange state of Epiphany.
Epiphany was something that could only be encountered by chance.
Only when the heart, thoughts, environment, and many other factors perfectly aligned for an instant could one touch upon Epiphany.
Clearly, under Elder Wu's pressure, his heart had become calmer and more empty than ever before. He seemed to understand the state of mind Hong and Lei Shen had possessed before.
Boom!!
This time, Yang Wu struck out with his blade again!
This time, Yang Wu did not get hit. Instead, he easily forced Elder Wu back!
"Hmm?!" Yang Wu returned to his senses and could not help being shocked.
"This is..."
Yang Wu sensed that his Origin Force, Telekinesis, will, strength, and even thoughts seemed to have fused into one. He could even draw upon an invisible force from the cosmic space!
This was a new comprehension, the Domain Realm above Artistic Conception!
With a thought from Yang Wu, the void within a hundred meters around him faintly twisted in a strange manner.
It was as if a transparent sphere with a radius of more than a hundred meters had suddenly appeared around Yang Wu.
Yang Wu stood at the center of the sphere, radiating endless light like a God Spirit.
Possessing a Domain was extremely difficult. Before Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast, he had been unable to possess a Domain!
As for Hong and Lei Shen, they were both masters of Neijiaquan. Lei Shen had also absorbed the essence of Chinese Neijiaquan and Ancient Indian Yoga...
Only after bitter cultivation again and again had they finally broken through the highest realms of Neijiaquan and Ancient Indian Yoga—"Taiji Perfection" and "Unity of Heaven and Man"—and reached the higher-level Domain!
"No wonder my talent in the Law of the Origin of Gold is comparable to that of the Golden Horned Beast." Yang Wu was filled with emotion.
"With a hundredfold clarity, I actually crossed Artistic Conception and directly comprehended the Domain after one great battle."
On the other side, when Elder Wu saw Yang Wu stop sparring, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
During this battle, Elder Wu had indeed been able to suppress Yang Wu at first, but Yang Wu's strength had grown increasingly powerful afterward.
That last strike had even sent him flying directly, which he found extremely difficult to believe.
"The fluctuation of the Power of Gold Element Heaven and Earth?" Elder Wu stared at Yang Wu in shock. At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
Actually, Yang Wu had not been a Void Realm Great Perfection expert at all. The reason he could fly might have been due to something else.
"Grandmaster, what's wrong?" Zhuge Yuanhong, who had been watching the battle, looked at Elder Wu in astonishment.
"Yuanhong, did you feel it?" Elder Wu asked solemnly.
"Feel it... There is indeed a fluctuation of Gold Element Spiritual Power, but it's extremely faint. Could there be something special about it?" Zhuge Yuanhong asked in confusion.
"It isn't the fluctuation of ordinary spiritual energy from 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, and stormy waves surged in his heart.
Zhuge Yuanhong was only one step away from the final breakthrough. He had dreamed of breaking through, but this step was extremely difficult.
"Thank you, Elder Wu, for helping me break through." A smile appeared on Yang Wu's face. Then, with a casual wave, a small Mu Ya Crystal flew toward Elder Wu.
"Both of you, I've just entered Epiphany and still need to cultivate in seclusion. There's no need to see me off."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wu rose and flew away from the wilderness.
After finding a deserted place, Yang Wu returned to the Swallowing the Stars World.
