He Was Still the Same as Before, So Dazzling

With a thought, a giant hand suddenly appeared beneath Ji Wuchen's feet.

Supernatural Law.

A giant hand reached out from the void, its five fingers spread wide, and steadily supported him, carrying him upwards.

But he wasn't the only one who possessed Supernatural Law.

At the same time, one of the arms of the Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages appeared and punched down from above!

The speed was so fast that it was clearly something that had been anticipated.

The air was compressed, causing it to pop and crackle.

"Time, Hear Me!"

Ji Wuchen immediately raised his hand and pointed at the fist.

An invisible shield descended, abruptly slowing the fist's descent.

At the same time, he summoned the complete Heaven and Earth Law — the Beginningless and Endless Dao Lord.

The void behind him cracked open, and a colossal figure slowly appeared.

'This punch, though powerful, is ultimately not Saint Law.'

'I may suffer some injuries, but I haven't lost yet...'

As Ji Wuchen was thinking, he felt a voice whispering in his ear.

"The control here has loosened."

He suddenly turned around.

Qin Wangchuan, dressed in Dragon Scale, had already closed in.

The Dragon Scale cloth enveloped him, and faint phantom images of Dragon Scale appeared on his arms.

That was not decoration, but a manifestation of the power of True Dragon.

He threw a punch.

There are no frills, just the purest power.

But the power of this punch was far greater than before.

Boom!

A tremendous roar reverberated outwards.

The Beginningless and Endless Dao Lord had just taken shape when he was blasted away by a punch!

Ji Wuchen was within the Heaven and Earth Law, and the immense force caused his Qi and Blood and qi to surge, making his internal organs feel as if they were about to shift.

However, what shocked him was --

This power... something's not right!

He had witnessed Qin Wangchuan and Chu Wujiu fighting each other more than once.

Although Qin Wangchuan's physical strength increased dramatically in his Dragon Scale form, he was still far from being able to blast away the Heaven and Earth Law with a single punch.

It's on a completely different scale than it is now!

It's like he's become a completely different person.

'He's gotten stronger again...'

The thought flashed through my mind, and my back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

There wasn't time to think it through.

His body was still in mid-air, not even having time to adjust his posture.

Yu Guangzhong: Qin Wangchuan has raised his hand again.

A finger pointed at him from afar.

"Heavenly Ruins Tribulation Finger"

The light was already gathering at the fingertips.

I saw it.

I saw it very clearly, and it was crystal clear.

The trajectory of the light, the location of its landing point, and the impending moment are all reflected in my eyes.

The Natal Dharma was still in operation, and the flow of time was stretched to its limit, causing everything around to slow down.

But what's the use?

A person is in mid-air, with nowhere to Borrowing Strength and no way to change direction.

'Dispel the Heaven and Earth Law, and use Divine Feather to change direction in mid-air?'

'No, the light is too fast, there's not enough time.'

'Then twist your body and use the Heaven and Earth Law to withstand it?'

'That won't work either.'

One idea after another flashed through my mind, only to be rejected one after another.

Is there any other way?

Is there anything else?

Ji Wuchen frantically racked his brains, searching his mind for every possible way to break the deadlock.

Until that dark, piercing light drew near, the chilling light of death reflected in his pupils—

He suddenly stopped.

'Ah.'

'I lost.'

The moment that thought crossed my mind, all the struggle ceased.

But the next moment...

A figure suddenly crashed into him from the side.

"Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment," carrying a violent aura, crashed heavily into the "Beginningless and Endless Dao Lord"!

The two Heaven and Earth Law tumbled and crashed to the ground.

Gravel flew everywhere.

The light grazed the afterimage of the Heaven and Earth Law and slammed into the edge of the arena, exploding into a cloud of dust.

The light shield vibrated.

He's not dead.

Ji Wuchen lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

Chu Wujiu, standing beside him, braced himself against the ground and stood up, rubbing his shoulder with a grimace. It wasn't pain, but a feeling of tightness in his chest.

"I was watching you get made a fool of like a dog down there! I could even see right through your underwear!"

Ji Wuchen did not respond, and the Heaven and Earth Law slowly dissipated.

He knelt there among the rubble, like a sculpture.

It's not discouragement.

It's resentment.

My mind is both chaotic and clear.

'When did you start to be seen through?'

'The start was perfect.'

' Qin Wangchuan is unaware of the effects of my Natal Dharma; that's the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack...'

'Oh, no, that's not right.'

'Because he didn't know, he chose to dodge.'

'So you figured out my Natal Dharma only works on a very small area with just that one punch, and that's why you used that punch to distract me?'

Ji Wuchen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

'It was from that time... no, from the very beginning that we lost.'

Just then, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

He looked up.

Chu Wujiu stood before me, grinning with his pearly white teeth, laughing without a care in the world.

"Are you back to your senses? How are you feeling?"

Ji Wuchen looked at him, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

After a long while, he shook his head and stood up.

"I don't feel well."

"It's not going to be good, is it? Will it get better if we fight him?" Zhou Yunyi also spoke up after going on stage.

Every time I fight Qin Wangchuan, it feels terrible.

Even though they thought they were doomed to lose, once the fight started, they really wanted to win.

Yun Zexuan followed closely behind, shaking his head and sighing.

"There's nothing we can do; it's your first time fighting him, you lack experience."

"It was only a matter of time before he saw through me."

Zhao Lingyun followed behind.

"It was right not to use the Heaven and Earth Law and instead launch a quick attack, but the first sword strike missed, and it was over."

Then Li Xuan, Ye Lingchuan, Yan Wujin took to the stage one after another.

Yan Wujin crossed his arms and glanced at Ji Wuchen with disdain.

"I don't think your Natal Dharma is very good."

Zhao Lingyun glanced at him sideways.

"You'll get beaten to a pulp."

"Bullshit!" Yan Wujin glared. "It's just adjusting the flow of time."

"With my Nine-Flame Dharma Robe on, even if I just stand there doing nothing, he can't get close to me!"

"Are you an idiot?! Do you need to get close? What's the point of your magic?"

Yan Wujin fell silent.

Ji Wuchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Qin Wangchuan.

"I lost."

"Even your Heavenly Sword couldn't force me to unleash their power. Instead of becoming stronger, I'm actually... weaker than before."

He looked at his hands as he spoke; they were trembling slightly.

Although we lost, a weight has finally been lifted from my heart.

The moment has finally arrived.

Clang--

The sword returned to its sheath, and a clear, resonant sword cry echoed across the arena.

"Raise your head."

"Keeping your head down all the time, that's not like you."

Ji Wuchen looked up at the sound.

Qin Wangchuan had already sheathed his sword and was standing not far away watching him.

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"It's not that we couldn't force it out, it's that we couldn't use it."

"If it were anyone else, the first strike would probably have been the end of it."

"I was able to win simply because I believed in you."

"I believe you will attack directly."

"Because I know you've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

He paused for a moment after speaking.

"Isn't that a bit despicable?"

That's a very conservative statement.

But that Natal Dharma is indeed tricky—especially when it's the first time you encounter it.

A lightning-fast attack, an attack faster than anyone could imagine.

If it weren't for the foresight, there probably wouldn't have even been time to call for Dragon Scale.

Ji Wuchen was stunned.

A moment later, he suddenly laughed.

"Despicable...?"

"You're still the same as before."
