Rumble!!!
Vast Immortal Essence surged skyward, piercing straight through the sea of clouds overhead!
The waters of the Cold Sea trembled across tens of thousands of miles!
Thick columns of water rose from the sea, only to be shattered into clouds of white mist by pure qi before they even reached the air!
Protective formations lit up on every Treasure Ship moored outside the island, yet the oncoming storm still drove them back one after another!
Such might was simply staggering!
It fully rivaled that of some great cultivators at the peak of the Path Opening Realm!
The young cultivators nearby, who had only just managed to regain their composure, paled once more!
"The mid Path Opening Realm?!"
"You've got to be kidding!!"
"He only just broke through! How is he already at the middle stage?!"
"He eliminated the flaws in his Heavenly Law? When did he do that?!"
"..."
Among the crowd, Pei Xuandu's face was deathly pale.
The young champion looked particularly bewildered and shaken.
Even when Ye Li had defeated him moments earlier, he had not shown such an expression!
There was only one reason: the gap between them was now simply too vast!
He had reached the mid Path Opening Realm in a single leap?!
Pei Xuandu stared fixedly at that unparalleled phenomenon sweeping heaven and earth, and a deep sense of defeat finally rose within him.
So that was it... so that was it!
Why had he spent so long honing himself in the Heaven-Grasping Realm?
It was to eliminate every flaw in his Heavenly Law in advance!
That way, once he broke into the Path Opening Realm, he could skip the early stage and enter the middle stage directly, saving himself tens of thousands of years of toil!
Ye Li had done the same.
