"Haaah!"
He Shi Guang growled as he unleashed his Life Force with all his might. He no longer held anything back, displaying his full strength within the limits permitted by the Dao artifact's rules.
First, naturally, was the total amount of Life Force. With his level of control, every additional portion of Life Force would cause his strength to surge. Once it reached a certain level, the increase in power granted by his control surpassed that of any technique. He could overcome force with finesse!
And once this test of stored power began, it showed no sign of stopping. The total amount was enough to overflow from his body, forming a colossal pillar of Life Force light.
He Shi Guang was extremely astonished. His Life Force had all been degraded from True Essence, and every drop of True Essence could be transformed into an ocean of Life Force...
The total amount possessed by a genius of the Mortal Realm had actually exceeded the Life Force formed from one drop of his True Essence?
Still, he was interested in seeing just how much power this super-monster truly possessed. At his level, no matter how vast the Life Force was, he could control it all!
What was there to fear?
"Have you noticed? To continue increasing the total amount, you'll need to activate the grand formation..."
Under the gazes of countless people, Yun Ye finally moved.
He did not want to expend too much power.
There was no need.
Besides, it would be far too earth-shattering.
If he continued allowing He Shi Guang to unleash his power, he would probably reach the Profound Realm level directly, with enough Life Force to cover hundreds of miles.
That scale would be far too outrageous. If he truly did that, then even in Purple Snow Academy, where countless monsters gathered, he would attract the attention of the academy's higher-ups.
Becoming Famous Throughout the World directly would fit the Azure Immortal Clan's expectations, but not Yun Ye's. He still needed time to unravel the restrictions. Otherwise, he had no idea what the Azure Immortal Clan intended to do with the fortune and power he had seized.
"Qing Liu Sheng can't hold back any longer. He's finally going to make his move. It seems He Shi Guang's serious outburst of Life Force really made Qing Liu Sheng feel threatened!"
The teacher with the appearance of a young man murmured.
"Grandpa, are all the members of the Ten Seats this powerful? I never imagined that the Ten Seats had only been using such a tiny amount of Life Force before."
"The difference is ten thousandfold, a hundred thousandfold, or even a millionfold. It's simply despairing..."
Zhang Xinwang stood beside the young-looking teacher, having nearly lost all confidence.
"Put your mind at ease. Purple Snow Academy is a place of miracles like this. Every member of the Ten Seats has walked their path to its absolute limit. The Tenth Seat alone has driven you to despair, so what about the one ranked first, the existence who has mastered three laws?"
The young teacher spoke calmly.
He was called Grandpa, clearly because he only looked young. No one knew how many years old he truly was.
This was a world of cultivation and longevity. Appearance could not explain anything.
"Mastering three laws... How is that possible...?"
Zhang Xinwang's heart trembled violently. He did not even dare to imagine it. Reaching the height of the Ten Seats with a single law was already terrifying to this extent, yet there were actually monsters who had mastered three laws—beings who sounded like they belonged to myth!
"What's impossible about it? Purple Snow Academy siphons in the resources of the entire Teng Continent, and countless worlds are available for exploration and dominion. Once you enroll, you'll understand. The current Red Heaven Realm is only the starting point. Every existing notion you have will fall apart after you enter the academy."
"Keep watching. A new star is about to rise. This is truly a historic moment."
Speaking as someone who had been there before, the young teacher defined Qing Liu Sheng's future.
As long as he did not die, a monster like this would surely accomplish something extraordinary!
The Red Heaven Realm was a place where bloodline and accumulation determined everything. Even if Purple Snow Academy could narrow that gap, with so many astonishing figures gathered there, those standing at the summit would inevitably possess talent, diligence, and powerful backing.
"Qing Liu Sheng is about to make his move."
The young teacher's pupils brimmed with radiance. He possessed a top-grade Heaven Eye and had integrated the Three Heavens, giving him an extraordinarily vast field of observation. He wanted to see through this battle.
Yun Ye walked toward He Shi Guang step by step. His aura drew inward, locking onto He Shi Guang.
The eruption of Life Force came to an abrupt halt.
The sensation of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart suddenly surged through He Shi Guang.
He knew this was because all things in Heaven and Earth were at the young man's disposal. An attack could appear at any point, so his entire body was issuing warnings.
"Vortex Dao Law—"
Yun Ye raised one hand and recited the heart incantation. Vortex Life Force circulated along its predetermined route, forming one of the only four styles of the Vortex Dao Law.
"Dispersal Style!"
Something within Yun Ye's body was released. Although there was some distance between him and He Shi Guang, it did not matter. The instant he raised his hand—
Boom!
He Shi Guang's entire body flew into the air, so sudden that it was as if a frame had been skipped. He abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood midair, and his face paled.
"What happened?"
"He Shi Guang couldn't even fight back. He was struck directly!"
"Another rule-breaking move, with both offense and defense? What price did Ten Thousand Spirits Conglomerate pay to cultivate such a monster?"
All the teachers rose and slapped their tables, throwing the room into an uproar.
The scene before them was too shocking.
This was a member of the Ten Seats!
Invincible among those of the same rank!
What right did a newcomer have to make a member of the Ten Seats cough blood with a single move?
"I... was hit?"
He Shi Guang only realized this after being struck.
The various powers within his body naturally revived at that moment, resisting the terrifying attack.
However, layer after layer of power was shattered, while vast amounts of Life Force directly collapsed, transforming into great streams of white air that surged outward.
He had lost control over that Life Force. His authority over it had been erased—no, it should be said that it had been suppressed!
As he was sent flying, He Shi Guang had no choice but to spit out a mouthful of blood. His injuries were not light.
Under the Dao artifact's suppression, even though he had originally possessed the power of the True Realm, he was currently only in the Mortal Realm.
After enduring an attack beyond his limits, his body naturally suffered injuries, passively expending the power within his blood and flesh to repair them.
Spitting blood merely expelled the waste, so it would not remain in his body and affect his performance.
"Too fast. It's the kind that can't be seen. I can't try to watch it. I have to predict it in advance. Otherwise, no matter how I struggle, I won't be able to dodge!"
He had not even realized the attack was coming. This was definitely more than mere speed.
If it truly were speed pushed to the extreme, then that speed should have been enough to form a force capable of destroying everything.
He had only been injured, which meant this attack was not another form of ultimate speed.
"Dispersal Style!"
Yun Ye raised his hand again. The Vortex Dao foundation within his body expanded, spitting out a beam of light. Though nearly imperceptible, it spread the instant it left his body.
Boom!
He Shi Guang was still in midair. Before Yun Ye could act, he stomped on the air, and ripples appeared beneath his foot. The counterforce immediately propelled his entire body away.
But it was useless. He was struck again, his entire body flying sideways uncontrollably. His bones creaked, while his flesh and meridians twisted into a mass. He immediately spat out three mouthfuls of black blood, all of it impurities drained of their power.
"Truly... impressive!"
He Shi Guang's eyes shone more brightly than ever. He had felt his blood surge with excitement for the first time in a long while. Yes, battle was only interesting when it challenged the strong.
The reason Purple Snow Academy was powerful was precisely because it gathered countless geniuses, each one blooming with their own radiance.
He Shi Guang had been able to reach where he was today for the same reason: he had countless opponents, allowing him to grow rapidly through countless battles and fully unleash his potential!
This was happiness!
