Boundary of Dawn and Dusk versus Sword Domain

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

Yu Duan had been at the Beiming Sacred Land for over 15 years, and having participated in the ranking battles for the second time, he was extremely familiar with the process.

Unlike the difficulties he faced during his first ranking battle.

This time, from the very first match on the first day of the ranking battle, Yu Duan had not suffered a single defeat.

Virtual Universe, Duel Space.

"Swish!"

Two streaks of light flickered, and the figures of Yu Duan and Yalunsi appeared simultaneously high in the sky.

Beneath them lay an endless, vast ocean.

"Just as you predicted, Yu Duan, the Sacred Land arranged our duel for the very last match."

Yalunsi, with the Yan Shen Bing strapped to his back, stared at Yu Duan opposite him, a look of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

Yu Duan flicked his right hand, and the countless fine law patterns hidden on the Glazed Longsword emerged. A black and white radiance surged, swirling around the tip of the blade!

"Please, Senior Brother, enlighten me!"

The moment Yu Duan finished speaking, Yalunsi stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, his figure gliding along mysterious spatial trajectories to form a series of dark golden arcs.

The void rippled, condensing into 81 figures of Yalunsi. They were arranged in nine groups of nine, each occupying a specific position and echoing one another to instantly form a powerful domain that controlled the space.

The second level of the Ten Thousand Line Flow, the Nine Line Flow at Great Success!

Being able to manifest 9 phantom bodies counted as entry-level for the Nine Line Flow, while 81 phantom bodies represented the Great Success stage.

As Yalunsi unleashed his movement technique, nine golden swords shot out from behind him.

A blazing golden light bloomed from Yalunsi's body, rippling out like a tide in all directions, weaving and intertwining with the nine golden swords.

Under the tidal wave of golden light, the nine golden swords burst forth and connected, and countless golden sword auras bloomed. The spherical space within a 300-meter radius, with Yalunsi at the center, instantly transformed into a sword domain.

The third level of the Yan Shen Bing, the Heaven Sword Style, also known as the 'Sword Domain'!

As Yalunsi's figure shot toward Yu Duan, the Nine Line Flow domain and the Sword Domain intertwined, resembling a golden star falling from the cosmos, crashing toward Yu Duan.

"Well come!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, brilliant flowing light and pitch-black air currents intertwined and bloomed from Yu Duan's body.

At this moment, Yu Duan's speed surged by an unknown magnitude. He seemed to transform into a black and white rainbow, performing acute-angle turns in the high altitude in a way that defied the laws of physics.

Clang!

A clear, crisp sword chime rang out, followed immediately by an endless interweaving of black and white light. A black and white edge extended from the Light and Time Sword.

Rich origin power of light and time poured into that black and white edge, causing it to rapidly condense into a primitive yet complex black and white giant sword, a hundred meters long and covered in countless blazing law patterns.

"Boom!"

The third level of the Yan Shen Bing, the Heaven Sword Style!

The third level of the Light and Time Sword, Severing Dusk and Dawn!

Gold clashed with light, and time collided with space. For a Star Level practitioner, the terrifying power of the origin laws transformed into a storm, instantly raging out in all directions.

Clang, clang, clang...

In an instant, thousands of collisions occurred, and the blazing golden sword radiance was instantly sent flying backward.

The golden sphere world, where sharp sword auras were raging, seemed to be torn open by Yu Duan's black and white giant sword, forming a massive rift.

On one side of that rift was a blazing white radiance.

On the other side of the rift lay an endless, gloomy black domain.

This was a major characteristic of the third level of the Light and Time Sword; hence, this realm was also known as the Boundary of Dawn and Dusk!

"The third level of the Light and Time Sword, hahaha... Good, it seems I don't need to hold back anymore!"

Seeing Yu Duan unleash this move, Yalunsi actually let out a laugh, the seriousness in his eyes completely transforming into battle intent at this moment.

It had been too many years!

For too many years, Yalunsi had not fought a full-power battle against an opponent of the same level!

"Hum!"

The space rippled, and the golden sphere domain that had been torn open instantly contracted!

This was not a retreat, but a concentration of power!

When the Sword Domain fully merged with the nine golden swords, it would form a totem golden pillar, which would be the fourth level of the Yan Shen Bing.

However, Yalunsi was still very far from that realm; he could only be considered to have achieved minor success in the Heaven Sword Style for now.

"Condense!"

Golden light erupted from Yalunsi's eyes. In an instant, three of the nine golden swords within the Sword Domain merged, transforming into a single, hazy, massive golden sword.

Three swords into one!

In an instant, a shocking sharpness erupted, several times more powerful than before, tearing through the air for hundreds of kilometers as it slashed toward Yu Duan like a sword of divine retribution!

Yu Duan had no intention of retreating in the slightest; his laws, domain, will, and force all boiled over, every ounce of power resonating and converging under the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Swish!

In that moment, the hundred-meter-long black and white giant sword began to shrink, shortening by nearly half, yet the aura it radiated became even more concentrated.

"Boom!"

The golden giant sword and the black and white giant sword collided instantly!

The one wielding the black and white giant sword felt a massive, overwhelming force surge through the blade, sending his figure flying backward as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Meanwhile, the golden giant sword, under the control of Yalunsi, shot out instantly like a brilliant golden meteor streaking across the sky, slashing directly through Yu Duan's chest!

"Battle over, winner Yalunsi."

The cold, mechanical voice of the combat space rang out, announcing that the 344th duel of the second stage of the ranking tournament had come to an end.

Virtual Universe, Examination Hall.

Accompanied by a flash of light, the figures of Yalunsi and Yu Duan appeared simultaneously.

"I lost as expected. I didn't expect Senior Brother Yalunsi's Heaven Sword Style to have already reached the minor completion stage."

Yu Duan looked at Yalunsi beside him, his expression unchanged despite the defeat.

Yalunsi, on the other hand, raised his hand with a sigh and draped it over Yu Duan's shoulder: "Your talent, kid, is truly astonishing."

"Over thirty years old, and already at the third level of the Light and Time Sword. It's incredible."

Yalunsi laughed at himself: "To be honest, when I first heard that you had been taken as a personal disciple by Qinghuan King, I was a bit jealous."

"But now, I can't even bring myself to be jealous. A genius like you only appears once every so many epochs in the entire human race of the universe."

"As for someone like me, a batch appears every five thousand years."

Yalunsi had crossed the threshold of the high-level laws at the age of over four hundred, his talent roughly on par with the top 10 of the genius tournament.

Among all the Star Level martial artists and spirit readers in the universe, Yalunsi was a genius among geniuses, the cream of the crop.

But when looking at the vast and ancient scale of time, so-called super geniuses were not rare.

On average, the entire human race might not produce an immortal every few thousand years.

Yet, geniuses of this caliber popped up every few millennia.

Sensing Yalunsi's mood, Yu Duan smiled and said: "So, the loser has to comfort the winner, is that it? If you don't treat me to a drink, this won't sit right."

"Hahaha, let's go, let's go get a drink. We'll call Pengnuolai, An Yao, and Chi Li, and have a proper gathering." Yalunsi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
