Yun Xiao was strong, but he was no match for Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.
Huan’er had cast the technique unique to direct descendants of the main Phantom Fox Clan to confuse Yun Xiao first. Before he could even regain his senses, she had already killed him. Perhaps, up until the moment he died, he did not know what had happened.
“These two people are really too daring! They’re behaving as though nothing has happened!”
The onlookers soon discovered the duo was not bothered about Yun Xiao’s death.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the duo walked to one of the spaces in the World of Laws.
Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Huan’er, why don’t you try and challenge the Formation spirit? If you win, your name will be announced, and you’ll be rewarded as well. I’m quite curious about the reward…”
Huan’er nodded obediently and entered the place that contained the law of space.
Contrary to the spaces that contained elemental laws, the area that contained the law of space was empty. In fact, no one had stepped foot into this place yet. The spaces that contained the elemental laws were the most popular, followed by the spaces that contained derivative laws such as the law of wind, the law of thunder, and the law of ice. The spaces that contained the Four Supreme Laws were the least popular; they were empty.
Apart from the place that contained the law of space that Huan’er just entered, the other three spaces that contained the three remaining Supreme Laws were empty.
Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings. He saw someone battling the Formation spirit in the space that contained the law of darkness.
The battle was intense as both opponents seemed to be evenly matched. Based on this, it could be seen that the man battling the Formation spirit was rather strong. Since his combat experience was definitely not as good as the Formation spirit and his comprehension of the law was similar to the Formation spirit, it was clear that he had other techniques up his sleeve for him to fight on even ground with the Formation spirit. After all, Formation spirits were unable to copy one’s personal techniques.
For example, the Formation spirit Huan’er faced would copy her cultivation base and the law she comprehended, but it would not be able to copy the techniques available to her as a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention back to Huan’er. When he saw her fighting the Formation spirit without using the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox’s techniques and relied only on her cultivation base and the law she comprehended, he thought to himself, ‘It seems like Huan’er is trying to increase her combat experience…”
Meanwhile, Huan’er who was fighting the Formation spirit was isolated from the outside world as soon as she entered this space. This was a rule of the Genius Secret Realm that protected her from being attacked while she fought the Formation spirit.
As time passed, Huan’er gradually fell to a disadvantageous position. She thought to herself, ‘What a formidable Formation!’
…
At this time, news of the death of Yun Xiao, the only son of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect, spread like a wildfire.
“Yun Xiao is dead! A woman named Huan’er killed him!”
“A grassroots prodigy killed the son of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect. Will she be able to avoid the calamity that’s about to fall on her?”
“I think it’s unlikely unless she manages to join one of three most powerful grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory and gain its protection. Alas, based on her current strength, she won’t be able to attract the attention of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, the Baili Clan, or the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.”
It did not take long before the Thousand Hands Devil Sect’s Ye Yu Chen, who invited Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er to join the sect, heard the news as well. A wry smile appeared on his face when he learned about Yun Xiao’s death. “It seems like both of them won’t be joining the Thousand Hands Devil Sect…”
Ye Yu Chen was rather indifferent about Yun Xiao’s death despite being the direct disciple of Yun Xiao’s father. Based on this, it could be seen that the relationship between him and Yun Xiao was not that good.
At this time, almost half of the people in the Genius Secret Realm were fervently discussing Yun Xiao’s death. Many of these people included the young prodigies from grade-one forces.
“Yun Xiao is dead?”
“That grassroots prodigy is really daring! Isn’t she afraid of death?”
“Although Yun Xiao’s strength is mediocre at best, he’s still the son of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect. Even those of us from grade-one forces wouldn’t dare to recklessly hurt him, and yet, a grassroots prodigy killed him!”
“It’s said that Yun Xiao was the one who looked for trouble. He provoked the wrong person, resulting in his death.”
…
Meanwhile, the onlookers at the World of Laws were observing Huan’er’s fight with the Formation spirit.
“I thought she would be evenly matched with the Formation spirit at the very least. It seems like I’ve overestimated her!”
“She can’t even defeat the Formation spirit; how’s she going to attract the attention of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, the Baili Clan, or the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect?”
“She’s definitely going to be defeated in 30 breaths!”
The onlookers who had witnessed Huan’er killing Yun Xiao earlier shook their heads when it seemed like Huan’er was going to be defeated. However, they soon saw an energy that was different from the Celestial Origin Energy or the profundities of a law surging out. They watched with wide eyes as Huan’er paused for a moment before she attacked and defeated the Formation spirit in one fell swoop. Just like that, the tables were turned. Huan’er who seemed like she was about to be defeated triumphed over the Formation spirit!
“This…”
“She defeated the Formation spirit?”
“Heavens! What happened? Wasn’t she about to lose earlier?”
Despite being amazed, most of the onlookers could not figure out what happened. However, a few people with keen eyes seemed to have figured out something.
“I didn’t expect her to have mastered other techniques as well…”
“It seems like she was trying to gain combat experience and only relied on her cultivation bases and the law she comprehended to fight! In the end, she used her technique to defeat the Formation spirit with just a blow.”
“Isn’t that pretty similar to how she killed Yun Xiao with one blow?”
At this moment, a loud and majestic voice rang in the entire Genius Secret Realm.
“Congratulations to Huan’er for defeating the law of space’s Formation spirit in the World of Laws.”
With this, Huan’er’s name became known to everyone in the Genius Secret Realm. Those who had heard about or seen her feat at the Peak of Gravity were further amazed by her strength. On the other hand, those who heard her name for the first time were finally made aware of the existence of a powerful grassroots prodigy in the Genius Secret Realm.
Soon after the first announcement was made, another announcement rang in the Genius Secret Realm again.
“Congratulations to Duan Ling Tian for defeating the law of space’s Formation spirit in the World of Laws.”
“Duan Ling Tian?”
Everyone shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian who had just defeated the Formation spirit. Apart from his cultivation base and the law of space, the Formation spirit, naturally, could not copy or gain his strength that was boosted by the Profound Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Flame, and the Chaos Divine Earth. With the boost from three of the Five Divine Elements, he easily defeated the Formation spirit.
The Genius Secret Realm was similar to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the sense that one could not use external tools.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After the end of the announcements, an object appeared and hovered in front of Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. They were rewarded with a purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon and a Celestial Fruit. They were not interested in the Celestial Weapon, but they were satisfied with the Celestial Fruit that was capable of boosting a Celestial Lord’s cultivation base. It would be beneficial to them, after all.
…
Many grassroots prodigies were shocked by the announcement of Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s victories against the Formation spirits in the World of Law.
“Huan’er and Duan Ling Tian? Two grassroots prodigies defeated the Formation spirits in the World of Laws?”
“I didn’t expect such outstanding people would appear among us grassroots prodigies.”
“Currently, there are two grassroots prodigies who have defeated Formation spirits from the World of Laws, but there are no young prodigies from grade-one forces who have defeated Formation spirits from the World of Laws yet…”
As though responding to these words, another announcement rang in the Genius Secret Realm again.
“Congratulations to Yu Tian Xing for defeating the law of space’s Formation spirit in the World of Laws.”
Yu Tian Xing was one of the most outstanding young prodigies in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. He was also the nephew of Yu Jian Cheng, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. Since Yu Jian Cheng dedicated most of his life to cultivation, he was unmarried. Therefore, he raised and treated his nephew like his biological son.
The young prodigies from grade-one forces seemed delighted when they heard this announcement.
“Yu Tian Xing! Finally, a prodigy from a grade-one force has defeated the Formation spirit in the World of Laws.”
“Well done, Yu Tian Xing!”
After Yu Tian Xing’s victory, a few more young prodigies from grade-one forces managed to defeat the Formation spirits in the World of Laws as well.
In just a day, there were more than 10 people who had defeated the Formation spirits in the World of Laws. However, among these people, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were the only grassroots prodigies.
…
At this time, there were still people in the Genius Secret Realm who were discussing the fate that awaited Huan’er and Duan Ling Tian after killing Yun Xiao. Almost everyone agreed it would be near impossible for the duo to avoid the calamity that was able to fall on them.
“If Huan’er didn’t kill Yun Xiao, even if the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect isn’t interested in her and Duan Ling Tian, there’s a chance the Ancient Phoenix Clan and the Baili Clan might have invited the duo to join them. However, since Huan’er killed Yun Xia, the Ancient Phoenix Clan and the Baili Clan definitely wouldn’t extend an invitation to them.”
“That’s right! Although the two forces are stronger than the Thousand Hands Devil Sect and have no need to fear the Thousand Hands Devil Sect, they would surely prefer to avoid unnecessary conflict. After all, the Thousand Hands Devil Sect is still a grade-one force even if it can’t compare to the three strongest grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory.”
“Inviting those two to join them is akin to provoking the Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect! It isn’t worth it for them to create unnecessary conflict with the Thousand Hands Devil Sect for the sake of two grassroots prodigies even if they’re talented.”
“Well, unless those two display some monstrous abilities or strength, it’s impossible for them to join any of the three strongest grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory and obtain their protection.”
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er wandered around, looking for a place to cultivate.
Duan Ling Tian wanted to continue comprehending the profundities from the law of space with the help of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity while Huan’er wanted to consume the Celestial Fruit she obtained from defeating the Formation spirit in the World of Laws to raise her cultivation base.
After they found a suitable place, Duan Ling Tian settled down and tried to sleep in order to comprehend the law of space through the Supreme Divinity Powerhouse. Before he fell asleep, he looked at Huan’er who had just consumed the Celestial Fruit and thought to himself, ‘Based on her current cultivation base, she should be able to break through and become a Four Phenomenon Celestial Lord at least after consuming the Celestial Fruit.’
