Above the dark yellow sea, Bamer's figure was already so close to the water's surface that it didn't even have time to cast a shadow.

However, although Bamer was fast, he wasn't fast enough to catch Luo Ao off guard.

The instant Bamer charged, he too transformed into a streak of dark blue Flowing Light, wielding a crimson longsword to meet him.

The two transformed once more into two intertwined streaks of two-colored Flowing Light, their movements completely obscured. This time, however, their speed was far greater than before, and they fought fiercely, neither giving an inch, directly battling at the edge of the massive spatial rift. If other Deity Level experts were to witness this, they would surely tremble with fear.

These are the two of them. Other Deity Level powerhouses, even two Peak Asura fighting each other, would have to desperately try to avoid these large spatial rifts.

"Boom!"

The two sword-shaped weapons clashed again, and wherever they passed, the area where space had just recovered shattered once more.

"That's the feeling!"

Luo Ao's eyes brightened slightly for a moment.

Just now, he discovered that there was a very peculiar rhythm in Bamer's attack. Although this peculiar rhythm could not directly enhance his strength, it possessed a very special property.

It was precisely because of this special quality that Bamer became increasingly powerful in their battle. If it weren't for the support of his various exquisite techniques, he would probably be at a disadvantage against Bamer's attacks by now.

"This Sovereign's special moves are truly endless." At this moment, Bamer was actually quite surprised. If his opponent's moves were only better than his in one aspect, that would be one thing, but now, in this extreme speed clash, he couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

To be honest, he now had to admit that this Sovereign's understanding of the various Profound Mysteries applications of the Elemental Laws of Fire had indeed reached an incredible level. However, he was, after all, at the Paragon stage, and even if the opponent's methods could gain some advantage for a while, in the long run, he would 'analyze' them all one by one.

"Let this battle continue a little longer." Originally, he planned to defeat his opponent quickly and defend his dignity as Paragon cultivator.

However, he now discovered that this Sovereign's various special moves were indeed outrageously numerous. Moreover, even if he were to develop and research any one of these exquisite techniques, it would take him an unknown amount of effort. But through fighting against the opponent, he was able to silently 'learn' these moves one by one.

Once he has finished 'learning' this Sovereign's ultimate move, his various skills will likely reach an even higher level. At that time, even among the Paragon High-God, his strength will be in the top tier.

"I wonder if this Sovereign has any impressive moves when it comes to Soul Attack..." Many years ago, he had competed with Magnus, the Fate Grand Perfection in the Celestial Realm, in a battle of soul techniques, but in the end, he lost by half a point.

Although this difference in power could not possibly harm him in the slightest, as a fellow Paragon High-God, he naturally could not admit defeat.

After all, while the Elemental Laws of Fire cannot compare with the Edicts of Fate in terms of the detailed study of the soul, they are on par in terms of the pure power of Soul Attack.

Under such circumstances, the reason he lost to Magnus by half was because of the special soul technique created by the opponent.

"That move..." Every time Bamer recalled Magnus's unique 'transparent lotus' technique, he secretly admired Magnus's talent and skill. In his opinion, the exquisite nature of that move was comparable to the ultimate techniques of this Sovereign.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

The two were locked in a fierce close-quarters battle, but the spatial rift was expanding rapidly and couldn't be repaired in time, which reduced the area they could move in.

The raging fire energy was unleashed everywhere.

From a distance, it looks like two streaks of blue and gold light constantly intersecting and separating, with each intersection causing countless wounds and fissures in space.

"Since this Sovereign has no intention of engaging in Soul Attack contest, then let me launch the first strike!"

In fact, Bamer had already figured out most of the Sovereign's physical attack methods, and he could even replicate two or three of them on the spot, which would give him a clear advantage. However, he still wanted to see the opponent's Soul Attack methods, so he was in no hurry to use these two or three new moves.

With this thought in mind, Bamer suddenly struck and then flew backward, instantly creating some distance between himself and the enemy.

"That speed!"

Luo Ao's pupils contracted instantly. This Bamer's speed was actually increasing, and without him even realizing it, he had already surpassed him by a significant margin.

"Take this! Void Demonic Flame!"

Bamer spoke up first. At the same time, a transparent fireball suddenly appeared in his hand. Inside this fist-sized fireball, it seemed as if a terrifying divine beast was roaring and howling!

Want to test your Soul Attack abilities?

Luo Ao instantly guessed what Bamer was thinking, which was exactly what he wanted.

He is currently trying to understand the special effects that are emerging from each of Bamer's moves. Up to now, he has gradually grasped the prototype of that special property, but he is still missing the last piece of the puzzle.

And this piece of the puzzle is related to the soul!

The reason he hadn't launched Soul Attack earlier was because he knew he was no match for his opponent.

Because the last unfinished profound Profound Mysteries of his Elemental Laws of Fire is precisely the ' Soul Attack ' Profound Mysteries, which is closely related to the soul. Since this Profound Mysteries itself hasn't been fully integrated, how could he possibly create such a stunning technique comparable to his own physical attack methods?

"Next, we'll see what this move brings. If I don't fully grasp it, I'm afraid I'll really lose..." Luo Ao looked expectantly at the transparent fireball in Bamer's hand.

Although he cares more about whether he can break through, he is not particularly concerned about whether he will fall behind.

However, winning would be even better!

Thinking of this, Luo Ao's eyes sharpened as he stared directly at the transparent fireball in the other's hand.

"Go!" Bamer roared inwardly.

Then, the transparent fireball moved like lightning that ripped through the plane of space, its speed being ten or even a hundred times faster than Bamer's own flight speed.

Almost before anyone could react, the transparent fireball, moving at a speed that made it nearly impossible to dodge, directly entered Luo Ao's body. The transparent fireball then shot directly into Luo Ao's mind.

"What? He actually took this attack willingly?" Bamer had expected his opponent to use a Soul Attack to counter his attack, but instead, the opponent didn't dodge?

"Planning to rely on the Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact to withstand it head-on?" Bamer frowned immediately. If that was the other party's idea, Bamer decided to stop entangled with them altogether.

"This feeling!" Luo Ao channeled his soul power to repeatedly strike the transparent fireball, using it as a 'buffer' to carefully sense the unique 'aura' contained within it. Luo Ao understood that this 'aura' was precisely what he lacked.

However, after the transparent fireball entered Luo Ao's mind, it suddenly expanded and then exploded like a star that had accumulated countless amounts of heat!

The fireball exploded, instantly bursting forth with dazzling light that shone directly above Luo Ao's Soul Ocean. Immediately following, a series of indescribable special forces began to 'erode' his soul power. Luo Ao quickly controlled his own soul power, constructing 'dams' to intercept it.

To be honest, if he weren't Three-Element Soul Mutator whose soul was far more powerful than that of Highgod, he really wouldn't have dared to take that attack head-on.

"Huh? What's wrong with him?" At this moment, Bamer, who was hovering above the sea, suddenly saw the Sovereign freeze in place and then close his eyes.

"Is this... an epiphany?" Bamer was immediately startled.

"Could it be..." Not only was Bamer shocked, but even the Fire Element Sovereign Amatis and the others couldn't believe it.

They were also amazed by the Water Element Sovereign's mastery of the Elemental Laws of Fire. Now that he was going to continue his enlightenment, there was only the path to the Paragon ahead.

Regardless of what others thought, Luo Ao felt a sudden clarity in his heart; he saw...

"I see..."

At this moment, the final thin membrane that had been preventing him from achieving Paragon finally burst open with a "pop," like a bubble shattering...

Having completely grasped this last sliver of 'secret,' Luo Ao's heart calmed down.

The others weren't kept waiting too long.

Suddenly, with a loud "boom," a peculiar Natural Laws descended, landing above the sea area where Luo Ao was located.

"It really is..."

Bamer's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the other person with a complicated expression.

The other Sovereign also stared in disbelief.

" The Natural Laws have descended?"

Everyone who witnessed this scene became extremely solemn, and they all remembered it vividly.

The Natural Laws descend only when one becomes a god, Lowgod ascends to God, or God ascends to Highgod!

but--

There is another situation in which the Natural Laws will descend!

When all the Profound Mysteries of a certain Laws are integrated into one, achieving the state of Paragon, the Natural Laws will also descend.

As for Luo Ao, he has undoubtedly broken through to the Paragon realm.

Every time a Paragon is born in the world, it will shake all the planes!

Today, they witnessed the birth of another miracle!

The Laws of the World come quickly and go quickly.

When Luo Ao opened his eyes again, his aura was completely suppressed, making him almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

Only after reaching the Paragon did Luo Ao understand what that 'special property' unique to the Fire Grand Perfection was.

However, that obscure and difficult-to-understand feeling is indeed mysterious and profound, far more complex and profound than the Profound Mysteries of the Laws. Even though he has now seen through everything, it is only known to himself and cannot be described or conveyed to others in words or writing.

The Paragon is indeed a special existence.

"You win."

In mid-air, Ba's voice rang out, indicating his impending defeat. His expression was complex, yet it also carried a hint of congratulatory smile.

Although he didn't respect Luo Ao's status Sovereign, his status as a ' Fire Grand Perfection ' was enough to earn his admiration.

In particular, the opponent achieved a breakthrough during his own battle with him. This terrifying level of comprehension was no less than his own, and might even be stronger.
