We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

'Breakthrough!'

As the progress bar in my mind was pushed to its limit, a pleasant notification sound rang out.

Having absorbed countless crystals of laws, his Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt finally met the requirements, ushering in a breakthrough.

At the moment of breakthrough, Su Chen's body trembled, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously.

This feeling did not come from the body, but from the spirit.

Although Su Chen's primordial spirit is slowly growing stronger in the distant Yin Soul Pool, the connection between his primordial spirit and his physical body allows him to still sense the changes in his primordial spirit's perception.

If one had to describe it, it would be as if there was a thin veil between Su Chen's primordial spirit and the world before. With Su Chen's breakthrough, this veil disappeared, and the world presented itself in the most direct way to Su Chen.

The whole world underwent a dramatic change in Su Chen's eyes.

It seems to be composed of countless mysterious forces, filled with various colors, intertwined and entangled, becoming incredibly complex, yet presenting a harmonious beauty within the complexity.

'Are these all the power of laws?'

Looking at the unfamiliar world, Su Chen couldn't help but speculate.

No wonder it's said that only those who reach the second realm of Martial Immortal can comprehend the laws; now I understand.

Only after reaching the second realm of Martial Immortal can a martial artist clearly perceive the existence of these laws.

If a martial artist cannot comprehend the existence of these laws, they will naturally be unable to use them.

Su Chen is currently in this state of understanding of the laws, and can easily comprehend his own laws in order to cultivate.

Without wasting any time, Su Chen circulated his cultivation technique while comprehending his own set of laws.

As he began to operate, the surrounding laws flowed rapidly, starting to rotate continuously around Su Chen as the center.

Su Chen soon discovered that no matter how he tried to communicate with these laws, they ignored him completely.

It just spins rapidly, and disappears inexplicably if you get too close.

This made Su Chen's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

If you don't even know the principles that best suit you, how can you comprehend them?

Su Chen was unwilling to give up, so he calmed himself down and continued to comprehend the teachings.

After pondering for an unknown period of time, Su Chen finally sensed a faint power of the laws.

However, this power of law was not sensed near Yin Yang Mountain, but near the Yin Soul Pool.

'Could it be because my primordial spirit and physical body have separated that I haven't been able to comprehend it?'

Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He had been so focused on convenience that he had forgotten the relationship between his primordial spirit and his physical body.

So he manipulated his physical body to travel to the place where his primordial spirit was.

The reason he did this was because his primordial spirit was absorbing the power of the Yin spirits, while his physical body was not currently absorbing the crystals of law.

Before long, Su Chen's primordial spirit and physical body reunited. The moment his primordial spirit returned to his physical body, his entire body swelled up.

The previously swirling power of the laws seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, continuously pouring into Su Chen's body, causing Su Chen's primordial spirit to feel an unbearable chill.

'What kind of law is this? Why is it so cold and chilling?'

As Su Chen comprehended and pondered the power of the laws he had perceived, he soon realized what kind of power of laws he had comprehended.

'It's the power of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Law!'

Upon realizing this, Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

As is widely known, the Martial Immortals of the Ten Directions World primarily cultivate the power of the Five Elements Laws.

The power of the Five Elements Laws defaults to the Yang Five Elements Laws, and it is almost unheard of for anyone to cultivate the Yin Five Elements Laws.

Even when he asked Ji Ziyang about it, the latter had no idea what the power of the Yin Five Elements Law was.

He didn't understand why this had happened to him.

It's unclear whether this change is good or bad for him.

'Could it be because of the Five Internal Organs Gu-planting Technique?'

He was able to cultivate the power of Yin Five Elements entirely because he obtained this technique from the world of Gu Masters. Unexpectedly, it has now benefited him, causing the power of the laws he cultivates to also become the power of Yin Five Elements laws.

'Wait, there are still some differences. I seem to be able to switch between the two kinds of power.'

Su Chen suddenly realized that he was not only cultivating the power of the Yin Five Elements Law, but because the power of the Yin Five Elements Law was the easiest for him to sense and absorb, he had this illusion.

He was actually cultivating the power of the Yang Five Elements Law, because he could master both the Yin Five Elements Law and the Yang Five Elements Law and freely switch between them within his body.

Having discovered this, Su Chen was completely relieved and, without further hesitation, began to frantically comprehend the laws.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, Su Chen reached the limit of the laws he could comprehend.

Finally, he opened his eyes. His eyes were calm and still, yet they had become exceptionally deep.

He stood up, and his body and spirit seemed to have become more in harmony with heaven and earth.

'Finally, I've broken through!'

Su Chen let out a sigh of relief. The feeling after the breakthrough was incredibly refreshing. He could feel that his strength had undergone a tremendous change.

The numerous laws that were originally stored within his body were completely absorbed into his own power due to Su Chen's breakthrough.

It merges with the power of the Yin Five Elements Laws that it cultivates.

The power of the Yang Five Elements Law is said to be able to control all Yang laws in the world, and the power of the Yin Five Elements Law can naturally control all Yin laws in the world. Not to mention that Su Chen can switch between the two, so even if the laws he stored were extremely complex and mottled, they were easily refined by him and became part of his own laws.

It was at this moment that he finally understood why the Martial Immortal who had comprehended the power of the laws was so powerful.

A martial arts immortal who hasn't comprehended the power of the laws is essentially like a strong, unarmed man, while a martial arts immortal who has comprehended the power of the laws is like a strong man wielding firearms. The difference in strength is obvious.

Essentially, it's a difference in their level of control over power.

Having grasped the laws, one's control over power becomes more refined; even a mere trace of it might be enough to instantly kill the latter.

Conversely, no matter how strong one's physical body and primordial spirit are, if one cannot unleash one's power, one can only be defeated when facing the former.

"It's getting late. I wonder how things are going with Senior Gu."

There is no concept of time in the Land of the Dead, so Su Chen had no idea how much time had passed.

After breaking through, Su Chen did not intend to linger but prepared to leave.

On the one hand, he had absorbed most of the Law Crystals on Yin Yang Mountain, and the remaining Law Crystals were no longer enough for him to make a second breakthrough. So he had to leave and come back later to absorb the remaining Law Power.

Furthermore, the Soul Pool also has the same effect on him.

There is still a lot of water in the Yin Soul Pool, but its tempering effect on him weakens as his strength breaks through. Even if he were to remain in it for ten years, he probably wouldn't gain much more of his primordial spirit power.

On the other hand, there was concern for Gu Xiaoyao.

After all, Gu Xiaoyao was still holding back Kusei before he came in, and he was worried that if too much time passed, Gu Xiaoyao would be defeated.

With this thought in mind, Su Chen's mind settled, and his body suddenly disappeared into the land of Yin Souls.

……

Outside, the battle continues.

However, it wasn't as intense as it had been at the beginning. Just as Su Chen had guessed, the prolonged battle gradually exhausted Gu Xiaoyao.

However, Kusei, who fought him, was not seriously injured because he was in the palace and could draw power from the thousands of demons.

Kusei also noticed the change in Gu Xiaoyao's strength and wanted to finish the battle quickly.

But Gu Xiaoyao started playing mind games with him.

Every time he tried to finish off his opponent quickly, the opponent would use spatial powers to dodge.

Every time he tried to rush into the Land of the Dead, Gu Xiaoyao would suddenly appear from some unknown corner and stop him from entering.

After countless attempts, Kusei grew increasingly impatient, wishing he could kill Gu Xiaoyao on the spot.

This time is no exception.

After forcing Gu Xiaoyao to retreat, he attempted to enter the Land of Yin Souls again.

Gu Xiaoyao, who had disappeared, noticed his abnormality and suddenly reappeared, striking him with a palm.

"Old man, you've been tricked!"

Upon seeing this, Kusei not only did not dodge, but burst into laughter.

"not good!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyao instinctively tried to pull away, but suddenly realized that he was being locked onto by Kusei.

After so many maneuvers, Kousse finally discovered his whereabouts and planned to take action against him.

Gu Xiaoyao tried to break free of the restraints, but Kusei used the power of the laws, and with his strength, he couldn't break free at all.

"Don't waste your energy, old man. Just stay here and wait for me to take care of your companions, then it'll be your turn."

Although he wished he could kill Gu Xiaoyao immediately, Kusei knew that the most urgent matter was not Gu Xiaoyao, but Su Chen who had entered the Yin Soul Land.

The Land of the Wraiths was a treasure trove he had found, perfect for using as a killing move and for cultivating Heavenly Demons.

If he hadn't been unable to find a way to control the land of spirits, why would he have moved it into the palace and placed it under such strict defense?

Su Chen's appearance made him realize that the other party must have a way to control the Yin Soul Land, otherwise he would never have risked entering it.

Now he wants to enter the Land of the Dead to eliminate Su Chen and force him to reveal how he controls the Land of the Dead.

Once he obtains the Land of the Dead, he can become the strongest Asura King under the Asura Venerable.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to try to open the Yin Soul Land, but the next moment, he was suddenly startled.

"Where is the entrance to the Land of the Dead? How did the entrance disappear?"

He was stunned for a moment, his whole body was in a daze, and his face turned ugly. The sudden change made his heart sink into an abyss.

The entrance to the Land of the Dead couldn't have disappeared without a reason. The fact that he can't sense it now can only mean that someone has taken control of the Land of the Dead.

"It's him!"

The image of Su Chen immediately flashed into Kusei's mind, and he gritted his teeth!

Just then, a ripple came from the void, and a powerful force tore through the void and appeared in front of the two.

It was Su Chen.

Su Chen discovered that Gu Xiaoyao was trapped, so he casually waved his hand, and in an instant, the void twisted.

Under the influence of an inexplicable force, Kusei could clearly feel his celestial magic power draining away at an alarming rate.

Before long, Gu Xiaoyao was freed from his predicament.

He approached Su Chen and asked, "You've broken through?"

His words were tinged with surprise, and Su Chen nodded in response: "Yes, leave this to me."

"So it was you who stole my Yin Soul Land?" Kusei stared at Su Chen, his eyes surging with killing intent, his voice icy cold.

Hearing this, Su Chen scoffed, "The Land of Yin Souls has always been the territory of my Ziyang Sect. When did it become yours?"

"Hmph, what's in my palace is naturally mine. Enough nonsense, hand over the Land of the Dead, and perhaps I can spare your life. Otherwise, you two bastards won't leave here alive!" Kusei said viciously.

His confidence stems from his abilities.

Gu Xiaoyao's strength was the weakest, and in his opinion, it was not worth mentioning.

Su Chen's strength was still respectable, but he was only at the second level of Martial Immortal, still a level below him.

In a real fight, neither of them would be a match for him.

At the Martial Immortal level, victory isn't achieved by simply having more people; it truly depends on one's own strength.

"Oh no, Su Chen, he's imprisoning us!"

Gu Xiaoyao's perception of space was no weaker than that of the Heavenly Demon. After sensing Kusei's subtle movements, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Kousse tried to seal off the surrounding space to prevent the two from escaping, aiming to capture them both in one fell swoop.

"Old man, you're still a step too late!"

Kusei wasn't surprised that Gu Xiaoyao would find out, after all, he had already witnessed the other party's prowess.

If he didn't do that, why would he waste time talking to the two of them?

Now is the perfect time. He will use the power of the Heavenly Demon to seal off the space and trap the two of them. He wants to see how they can withstand his attack when they have no way to escape.

He didn't notice that after hearing that the space was sealed off, Su Chen's expression remained unchanged, and even his eyes were as calm as still water.

"die!"

At this point, Kousse couldn't care less about anything else and took action immediately.

With a casual strike, the power of laws manifested, incredibly strong, piercing through the void as it attacked the two.

Gu Xiaoyao's expression changed upon seeing this, but the next moment, a towering figure stood in front of him. Facing Kusei's attack, Su Chen simply threw a punch.

This punch, too, is a condensation of the power of laws!

Bang!
The moment the two forces of law collided, Su Chen's punch directly shattered all of Kusei's forces of law, and then the remaining force continued to fly towards Kusei. Kusei was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised, but did not take it to heart, and attacked again.

However, this time, he ultimately underestimated Su Chen.

This punch shattered his attack once again, striking his body directly and sending him flying.

Kusei's body slammed into the edge of the sealed space, the immense force shattering the sealing power.

"you……"

Kusei stared at Su Chen in disbelief, never expecting that he would be the one to lose in the end, his face filled with grief and indignation.

Su Chen flashed to the front of Kusei, looking down at him. Just as he was about to make a move, a terrifying force pierced through the void, as if it came from ancient times, and landed on Kusei's figure.

Sensing this power, both Kusei and Su Chen's expressions changed drastically. (End of Chapter)
