The Ignorant Know No Fear

The broken sword fell into the yellow sand, its echo still lingering.

Xie Liyuan's heart was filled with turmoil, but he was, after all, Grandmaster. He suppressed all his emotions in an instant, retreated rapidly, and tried to create distance first.

He was incredibly fast, as if he had never been in the same spot at all.

But the figure in the green robe moved in a flash, and was already upon them.

"It's my turn."

The right palm lightly pressed down on his head.

But when this palm strike landed on Xie Liyuan's face, it was as if the entire sky of the Western Desert had collapsed!

He had never seen such a palm technique before.

There was no flow of Gang Qi, no fluctuation of any legal principles, only pure, naked physical power.

Yet it instilled in a Grandmaster an instinctive fear that made him want to turn and flee!

This palm strike seemed to carry the power of an entire "world," leaving no room for any thought of direct confrontation!

In that critical moment, Xie Liyuan's gaze turned cold and sharp, and his aura surged at a terrifying speed.

An intense, overwhelming killing intent exploded from his body, spreading outwards in all directions in tangible, dark red ripples.

A domain of murderous intent formed, creating chaos and distortion.

The moment the Dharma Domain unfolded, the laws of heaven and earth within a radius of several miles became obscure, as if tainted and distorted by his killing intent.

Yu Tunzhou's palm strike, which had clearly landed on his head, strangely deviated by an inch at the last moment.

It was as if space itself had become disordered, or perhaps Yu Tunzhou's perception had been distorted, causing the landing point of this palm strike to shift.

Thoughts flashed through Xie Liyuan's mind at lightning speed.

The Dharma Domain remains valid.

The opponent did not Dharma Domain to counteract their attack.

But this did not bring him joy; instead, it filled him with even greater fear.

Because this means the other party is not Grandmaster, and may not even be Quasi-Grandmaster!

What kind of monster is this?!

"Die!"

Xie Liyuan let out a low shout and slashed horizontally with his broken sword, aiming for Yu Tunzhou's neck.

His gaze was ruthless, and he unleashed his Dharma Domain to its fullest extent. Extreme chaos enveloped the area within three zhang around him, enough to make even Grandmaster of the same level reveal a flaw.

But suddenly a fist was right in front of him.

The green robe fluttered in the wind, obscuring Xie Liyuan's vision; he didn't even see how the fist appeared.

Before the broken blade even arrived, Xie Liyuan was already flying backward like a meteor, crashing through a sandstone hill tens of feet high, sending rubble flying and dust billowing everywhere.

Xie Liyuan stood up again, staring intently at Yu Tunzhou, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The Dharma Domain has not disappeared.

After I activated my Dharma Domain, not only did the opponent's senses become disordered, but even space itself was disrupted. Yet, this punch still landed on his chest!

The other party's physical body had reached a level that Xie Liyuan could not comprehend.

"Body of Immortals and Gods?" he murmured, his voice low, asking for the first time, "Just who are you?"

Yu Tunzhou did not answer.

He strode forward, his steps neither hurried nor slow, his blue robe fluttering in the night wind.

Even though the Dharma Domain still existed, and space was chaotic and distorted, every step he took was aimed directly at Xie Liyuan, without the slightest deviation.

Just like the killing domain that could annihilate ordinary cultivators, it was nothing more than a gentle Qingfeng in his eyes. He was completely unaffected.

Xie Liyuan's pupils contracted again and again, his heart filled with extreme fear.

He had never encountered such an opponent before.

The Grandmaster's suppression of those below stems from the dominance of the Dharma Domain. They have complete control over their territory, and every move and attack of their opponent is suppressed by the Law.

Even among opponents who are both Grandmaster, one must use one's own Dharma Domain to offset the other's Dharma Domain in order to be qualified to fight on equal terms.

But the person before me seems to be able to ignore the suppression of a Grandmaster's Dharma Domain with just his physical body!

"I see..."

Xie Liyuan let out a low shout, as if he had figured something out.

"You follow the path of Bloodline Martial Dao! You have perfectly fused the bloodline of Immortals and Gods and gods with your own being?!"

Yu Tunzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand, clenched his fist, and a surge of power emerged from the depths of his body, originating from the roar of every breath of Qi and Blood and qi in his limbs, bones, and flesh, which did not need the laws of heaven and earth to support it.

"You don't understand what this is?"

"Then let me tell you, this is— the Martial Dao!"

He threw a punch, like the rising sun, its radiance dazzling and impossible to look at directly.

There are no legal principles, nor any Gang Qi; it is simply the perfect unity of the physical body and the Fist Intent.

The Void before the fist emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and cracks spread out like a spider web.

Xie Liyuan swung his broken sword horizontally, the blade humming and trembling. He frantically compressed and condensed his Dharma Domain, transforming it into a layer of dark red light covering the blade.

He didn't believe that there was any pure physical body in this world that could withstand the Dharma Domain of Grandmaster without being harmed!

This is his path, his law, the Dharma Domain he amassed through a lifetime of bloodshed and slaughter, where countless powerful figures met their tragic ends. Why should this young man in blue robes be an exception?!

The broken blade slashed out.

This strike exhausted all his energy and spirit; the blade's light surged like a reversed Blood River, carrying a murderous intent that would annihilate all life, as it met the fist.

The knife clashed with the fist.

There was only a soft, crisp "crack" sound, like a withered branch being snapped underfoot.

Xie Liyuan's pupils dilated to their maximum size in an instant.

"Novel Website" Hand-typed Update

The longsword that had accompanied him in battle for a century finally reached its limit at this moment, shattering inch by inch under the opponent's fist, leaving only the hilt in his hand.

With his pure physical body, Yu Tunzhou pierced through his Dharma Domain!

Within the Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth.

Even Huntian couldn't help but mutter to himself, having crushed the Void with his pure physical body, he had initially broken through the barrier between immortals and mortals...

Xuandu had only broken through the third level of the profound technique not long ago, yet this Dao body already possessed some of the divine wonders of the fourth level, "Hating that Heaven has no handle, hating that Earth has no ring."

"You've been underestimating me even now?!"

Forced by the Dharma Domain, the longsword shattered, and Xie Liyuan's furious roar pierced the clouds and split rocks. The anger in his eyes overwhelmed his grief and fear, and his eyes seemed to lead to a complete Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth.

He no longer tried to suppress his opponent by using the Dharma Domain. His Inner Heaven and Earth and his own Spirit Aspect were completely integrated. The inner and outer worlds reflected each other, stirring up the power of heaven and earth. The celestial phenomena within a radius of a hundred miles were all stirred up, yellow sand flew away, and a bloody storm was stirred up.

The murderous intent was so intense that blood rained down from the sky!

Empowered by the immense power of his Inner Heaven and Earth, Xie Liyuan glared angrily and raised his fist to meet the attack.

By the time one reaches the Grandmaster, there is actually no difference between fist techniques, palm techniques, and sword techniques.

His anger stemmed from the fact that the person before him had not yet used his full strength, as if he were merely testing him.

Today, only one of us can live!

Suddenly.

A scene of countless divine corpses appeared around Xie Liyuan, his Blood Sha soaring to the sky, his killing intent Lingxiao. He threw a punch, surrounded by an unusual array of gods, unleashing a devastating blow.

"Come on!"

Yu Tunzhou laughed loudly, the roar of his Inner Qi like an earth dragon turning over.

This Qi and Blood and will, as strong as an inverted ocean, forcefully carved out a space of its own within Xie Liyuan's world.

He directly confronted Xie Liyuan's Peak External Scenery Dao Power with his physical body alone!

At this moment, the two abandoned Divine Ability powers and spells, one relying on the purest physical strength, the other on controlling the entire Inner Heaven and Earth, fighting to the death solely based on their martial arts skills.

The two forces clashed violently, as if the entire night sky had been torn in two.

Xie Liyuan's Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth had fully unfolded, extending to a radius of over a hundred miles. The world resonated with him, and every punch carried the weight of the world and the power of the laws.

The fists struck like thunder, the techniques moved with the mind, and the bloodthirsty intent condensed into countless phantom images of weapons in the Void —swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—pouring out like a tidal wave.

Instead of retreating, Yu Tunzhou advanced, using only his vital Qi and Blood to prop up the vast universe.

He didn't even use his protective Gang Qi, letting the weapons formed from his killing intent strike him, producing a metallic clang as they shattered, leaving not even a white mark.

Wherever his fist passed, cracks in the Void exploded like a spider web; it was a power so pure that even the laws of heaven and earth had to retreat before it.

What truly drove Xie Liyuan to despair was a clash of genuine martial arts prowess.

He had only recently become Grandmaster, but he believed that his martial arts skills had reached a state of perfection, and that he could injure people from any part of his body, including his fists, palms, fingers, claws, shoulders, elbows, knees, and legs.

The fist technique of the person before him actually pointed directly to the profound mysteries of the Great Dao!

It seemed to be telling him—what is the "Way" of martial arts.

Boom!

The two exchanged a punch and then separated.

Xie Liyuan felt his Inner Heaven and Earth tremble and the laws of nature shake, as if the entire Inner Heaven and Earth was about to be shattered by this brute force.

And this battle, as expected, was exactly as anticipated!

"Proving the Dao through killing, establishing a domain through slaughter, then merging the Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth and outer worlds, carrying the might of heaven with every gesture..."

Yu Tunzhou suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with regret.

"I have already witnessed your Martial Dao."

"Unfortunately, you are too weak. Your realm is not yet fully developed. Even among Grandmaster, you should be among the weakest."

"Why don't you kill me?" Xie Liyuan's gaze finally calmed down, and he said in a hoarse voice, "With your strength, you could probably rank in the top ten of the Earth Ranking... no, the top five! If you really wanted to kill me, it wouldn't be any harder for you than it would be for me to kill those External Scenery Fourth Layer."

Yu Tunzhou said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes:

"I want to see what a Grandmaster can unleash when pushed to the brink."

The surrounding world fell into an instant of deathly silence.

"Yu Tunzhou..."

Behind him, Xie Xiao practically spat out those three words through clenched teeth.

He stared intently at the figure in the blue robe.

His face was identical to the portrait, but with such strength, how could he be the person in the rumors?

Even though he killed Xuanyangzi not long ago, the person standing in front of him now is Grandmaster! Martial Dao Grandmaster at the Peak External Scenery, known as the peak of the mortal realm, and only one step away from Immortals and Gods and gods!

A few days ago, when he came with Ancestor Liyuan to pursue and kill Jin Moyuan, Ancestor Liyuan had said indifferently, "Killing this brat is as easy as killing a chicken or a dog."

He had no doubt about that statement.

Because Xie Liyuan truly possesses that strength.

Below the Grandmaster, all are but ants.

Xie Xiao himself was Quasi-Grandmaster, and he knew all too well how insurmountable this chasm was.

But now--

Yu Tunzhou's last words echoed in his mind, lingering for a long time.

What arrogance!

Yu Tunzhou raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and then made a fist.

At this moment, Xie Xiao and Xie Liyuan both felt the suffocating sense of impending storm permeating the world.

"For a member of the Xie Household to die at my hands is an honor."

Xie Liyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He was previously furious that Yu Tunzhou hadn't gone all out, so how dare he underestimate him like this?

But now that Yu Tunzhou had truly gone all out, he felt endless regret, because he didn't want to die.

However, he didn't even have time to think about it further.

Yu Tunzhou's fist is already upon him.

This punch lacked the previous Void sounds of wailing and cracking; instead, it displayed a perfect unity of speed and power, a convergence of every inch of flesh, every Qi and Blood, and every wisp of will, achieving a kind of absolute "oneness."

With one punch, all things return to one.

Fear finally surfaced in Xie Liyuan's eyes.

A Golden Crow phantom suddenly appeared behind him, about to spread its wings and cry out, but was pierced through on the spot by a silver bracelet.

Xie Liyuan's eyes were bloodshot, but he could only raise his hand, burning his Inner Heaven and Earth and giving his all to block this punch.

However, none of it mattered.

The fist pierced his chest, and also pierced his Inner Heaven and Earth.

Boom!

Amidst a deafening roar.

Centered on the two people, the ground within a radius of dozens of miles collapsed, forming a huge circular pit. Yellow sand surged outward like a tsunami, and was lifted hundreds of feet high by the air waves, obscuring the sky and the moon.

Smoke billowed and air surged.

Xie Xiao, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, was also thrown off balance by the aftershocks.

The next moment, the billowing dust suddenly dissipated.

But Xie Liyuan was nowhere to be seen.

Yu Tunzhou slowly withdrew his fist and stood with his hands at his sides.

"This is my Martial Dao," he said calmly, turning around and looking at Xie Xiao, who was slumped on the sand in the distance.

Xie Xiao was trembling violently.

In that instant, he felt as if an invisible giant hand had gripped his throat.

This is pure, Martial Intention pressure.

Yu Tunzhou didn't move; he merely glanced at him, yet it made Yu Tunzhou feel as if he had already died once.

"All members of the Xie Household should be killed."

The last three words struck Xie Xiao like a thunderclap.

He emboldened by some unknown source, his expression twisted with rage, and he roared, "Yu Tunzhou! I don't know where you get your power, but even if you can rival Immortals and Gods, you will not have a good end if you oppose the Xie Household!"

"My Xie Household has a long and distinguished history; any one of our treasures could easily crush you!"

Yu Tunzhou smiled and said, "Ignorance is bliss, but those who know me are deeply fearful."
