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

Hearing Bi Tianyu's outrageous words, Ji Ziyang was enraged. He roared to the sky and, without further hesitation, launched a fierce attack.

He was radiant with light like the blazing sun, and his terrifying power was enough to distort space and time even before it was fully unleashed.

Facing Bi Tianyu, who was of equal strength, Ji Ziyang knew that if he did not go all out, he would definitely not be his match.

Therefore, his first move was a fierce and deadly attack.

Upon seeing this, Bi Tianyu's lips curled into a contemptuous sneer.

He knew perfectly well that the Asura Venerable was plotting against him, and that the Heavenly Demon Clan was using him as a tool.

But in order to improve one's strength and realm, to achieve immortality, and to reach the supreme realm, what does such a trivial use matter?

Sacrificing the ten directions of the world will certainly bring sadness, but the temporary gains and losses are insignificant.

As long as he lives, one day he will destroy the Heavenly Demon and rebuild the Ten Directions World.

Right now, all he needs to do is become stronger.

To become stronger than everyone else, not only to surpass Ji Ziyang, but also to surpass Venerable Shura.

Thinking back to his first meeting with Venerable Asura, Bi Tianyu felt a tremor in his heart even before he had truly seen the other's face, sensing an unattainable power. Venerable Asura was simply too powerful; if he didn't grow stronger, everyone in the Ten Directions World would probably die.

Perhaps in Ji Ziyang's eyes, he had betrayed the Ten Directions World, but in his view, wasn't this also a kind of alternative inheritance?

Someone has to live on and carry on the laws of the ten directions. Let this sinner take on that role!
"rise!"

The instant Ji Ziyang made his move, Bi Tianyu simultaneously raised the towering, hundred-foot-tall three-legged cauldron with a single hand.

From afar, it looks like a tiny ant lifting up the boundless sky, a sight that is beyond words to describe.

This supreme divine weapon, symbolizing the power of the three saints of the Holy Yuan Sect, did not weaken after losing the support of the three Yuan Sifangs. Instead, it shone brightly in Bi Tianyu's hands.

"kill!"

At this moment, Ji Ziyang's voice rang out. The power of the Yang Five Elements Law and the power of the Yin Five Elements Law condensed into an alternating rotating iron chain in an instant, like a Yin-Yang Qilin rushing towards Bi Tianyu. Wherever it passed, space cracked, air exploded, and light dimmed.

"Huh? The Yin Five Elements Law? How is that possible?"

Bi Tianyu did not witness the fight between Yuan Sifang and Ji Ziyang, so he was unaware that his former sect leader had not only broken through his realm but had also cultivated the Yin Five Elements Law to a level even more profound than his own.

Now that he realized this, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Hmph, let's see who has a better understanding of the Yin Five Elements Law!"

Nevertheless, after a brief moment of shock, Bi Tianyu composed himself and gave a cold snort.

As the sound faded, the three-legged cauldron flew out of his hand, swelling in the wind and thunder, accompanied by rain and fire. The five elements of Yang accompanied it, and the power of the Heavenly Demon bolstered all directions. It was as if it were leading a thousand troops, forming a huge black curtain that swept towards Ji Ziyang's iron chains.

Boom boom boom!
The two forces collided like two blazing suns, exploding at the moment of impact. Countless energies and laws were released in all directions amidst the explosion, like ripples that were unstoppable.

The dull yet thunderous sound was no less devastating than the energy ripples, and its destructive power was almost catastrophic. Wherever it passed, flowers, trees, and any buildings were destroyed in the sonic waves.

Within a radius of ten thousand meters where the two fought, the land had been leveled, devoid of any life. Even the Heavenly Demons and Martial Immortals in the vicinity were affected by their battle, and the extent of the impact was no less severe.

Because the power unleashed by the two during their fight contained two completely different laws: the Yin Five Elements Law could harm Wu Ji Xian, while the Yang Five Elements Law could harm Tian Mo. Therefore, when the two fought, both sides became peaceful and focused on resisting the aftershocks of the two attacks.

Bang bang bang!
That attack just now seemed to be just a warm-up; the real fight is only just beginning.

Amidst the swirling black fog, sand, and dust, no one could see where the two figures were, but the sounds of their clashing could be heard continuously.

Even more hurricanes swept out.

Hearing the loud sound coming from the side, everyone's expressions turned solemn.

The martial immortals on Ji Ziyang's side were especially worried, fearing that Ji Ziyang would be defeated.

Bi Tianyu's strength has improved too quickly, so quickly that in terms of realm alone, he has surpassed everyone else, including Ji Ziyang.

If Ji Ziyang is defeated this time, they will be even more passive when facing attacks from the Heavenly Demons.

Bang!
Just then, a new commotion suddenly came from ahead, and a purple figure shot out like a huge rock, crashing to the ground. Upon seeing this, everyone was startled: "It's Ji Ziyang!"

At the same time, another figure slowly emerged from the black mist. It was Bi Tianyu, who was looking down at the deep pit below.

Those who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines.

"Ji Ziyang, you were once my sect leader. Today I'm giving you a chance. Join me and I'll protect the Ziyang Sect!"

Bi Tianyu's cold voice resounded through the sky, reaching everyone's ears.

What appeared to be persuasion was actually a threat, and everyone could hear the underlying threat in his words.

Surrender or die!
"Hehehe, dream on!" Ji Ziyang climbed out of the deep pit. Despite being covered in dust and his face being covered in blood, his pride remained unyielding.

"Hmph, my patience is limited. Since you won't listen to reason, then you might as well die!"

Bi Tianyu's face suddenly turned cold, and he made another move, but this time, he did not use the three-legged cauldron.

In the battle just now, he had exhausted all the remaining power of the three-legged cauldron, and now he could only use his own power.

Fortunately, he had dealt a heavy blow to Ji Ziyang in the previous exchange; otherwise, he might not have been able to kill him this time.

He made his move again, clenching his fist with all five fingers, using only the simplest technique.

Before the fist was even thrown, energy poured in from all directions, pulling at space and time, and instantly, the wind and clouds in the world changed.

The world, which was originally filled with dust, was completely absorbed by Bi Tianyu's fist the moment he threw a punch, and annihilated into invisible energy. When the energy was compressed to its limit, Bi Tianyu unleashed a powerful punch.

This punch was earth-shattering and awe-inspiring. This was no exaggeration. The moment it was unleashed, everyone's bodies swayed as if the heavens and earth trembled for a moment, and at the same time, the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling resounded from the fist.

Everyone could see that Bi Tianyu's punch contained the Five Elements Law of Yang and the Law of Heavenly Magic, and that he had achieved a good balance between the two forces. The powerful strength he displayed was such that any one of them would be unable to stop him if they faced him alone.

Can Ji Ziyang stop him?

Even Ji Ziyang himself was unaware of this.

He knew his own situation well. Putting aside his injury, even if he hadn't been injured, if it really came down to a life-or-death battle with Bi Tianyu, their strengths wouldn't be that different.

Although he seemed to have grasped the principles of Yin and Yang, his understanding of them was actually not deep.

If we divide the understanding of the laws into four stages, he is at most in the first stage, and has not yet formally stepped into the threshold of the first stage.

But Bi Tianyu is different.

Although he only comprehended the Heavenly Magic Law, which was slightly inferior to the Yin Five Elements Law, his understanding of the Heavenly Magic Law was at least at the third stage, or even the fourth stage.

In comparison, strictly speaking, the one who is truly at a disadvantage is not Bi Tianyu, but him.

But right now, he didn't have time to think about all that. Both he and Bi Tianyu wanted to kill each other; only one of them could survive today!
"die!"

Ji Ziyang roared, his body transforming into a streak of light, and he also threw a punch.

"you……"

Bi Tianyu, who had been confident of victory, suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw Ji Ziyang's behavior.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Bi Tianyu was wondering about Ji Ziyang's fearless behavior, a sudden sound of contact made him frown.

He stared intently at the violent explosion ahead, trying to spot Ji Ziyang.

However, at this moment, Ji Ziyang suddenly appeared. Despite his disheveled appearance and being covered in blood, his eyes were incredibly firm and his speed was unstoppable.

Although the moves used looked ordinary, Bi Tianyu sensed a great danger when they landed before him.

"You bastard, Ji Ziyang, you want to die with me!"

Bi Tianyu's calm expression finally showed emotion. He finally understood the source of his inexplicable heart palpitation and why Ji Ziyang's behavior seemed so strange. It turned out that he had no intention of surviving at all, but planned to perish together with him.

"Hahaha, you only realize it now? Too late!" Ji Ziyang grinned wildly.

He was very fast, and he had closed the distance between them. Even if Bi Tianyu had extraordinary abilities, he could not dodge him.

"Bi Tianyu, I told you I would clean house. Now, you'll die with me!"

Ji Ziyang was completely indifferent to life and death. His blood, spirit, and power of laws were burning, and he locked Bi Tianyu firmly in his grasp. No matter how Bi Tianyu tried to escape, he could not escape his palm.

"Damn it! You're a madman, Ji Ziyang, you're absolutely insane!"

Sensing the approach of death, Bi Tianyu could no longer remain calm and screamed hysterically.

He tried to escape, but even using teleportation, he couldn't evade it.

Ji Ziyang had anticipated all his methods and made ample preparations, giving him no chance to breathe.

Ji Ziyang paid no attention to Bi Tianyu's angry curses; instead, a look of madness appeared on his face.

As the distance between the two sides drew closer, Ji Ziyang sensed that the time was almost up. So he suddenly shuddered, and all the power around him erupted like a volcano. The resulting shockwave directly caused Bi Tianyu's face to turn pale with fear.

"No!"

Bi Tianyu screamed in panic, completely disoriented. At this moment, there was nowhere for him to hide.

Left with no other choice, he gritted his teeth and unleashed all his strength.

Even though it might cause injury, he would rather die.

In the Ten Directions World, there has never been a case of a Martial Immortal self-destructing, and no one knows how much power a Martial Immortal's explosion would generate.

But everyone knows that this power is absolutely devastating and terrifying.

Because self-destruction is essentially compressing one's entire power to its limit, and then releasing it in a single instant.

Even the self-destruction of a beginner-level martial artist in the Divine Power Realm is something that a perfected martial artist in the Divine Power Realm might not be able to withstand completely, let alone a Martial Immortal.

Moreover, Ji Ziyang was one of the best among the Martial Immortals, having already reached the perfect realm and comprehended the Yin Five Elements Law.

Most importantly, this self-destruction was directed at Bi Tianyu.

He was indeed confident in his abilities and believed he could eventually kill Ji Ziyang, but he did not believe he could withstand the opponent's self-destruction.

"Ji Ziyang, have you thought this through? If you self-destruct, you will never have a chance to live again!"

Bi Tianyu shouted.

Self-destruction is tantamount to cutting off one's own escape route, leaving no room for maneuver.

If one dies, as long as the primordial spirit remains, there is still a possibility of survival. But if one self-destructs, one will truly disappear from the world, with absolutely no chance of survival.

Ji Ziyang did not answer; his actions spoke volumes.

The power within him finally reached its peak at this moment.

Ji Ziyang slowly closed his eyes, welcoming the arrival of death.

He had long since come to terms with life and death.

As long as he can get rid of Bi Tianyu for the Ziyang Sect and atone for his sins, he has a clear conscience.

However, just as he was about to unleash all his power to explode, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

A vast power suppressed his strength.

No, to be precise, it was absorbed.

The absorption was so fast that he immediately noticed it and prevented his self-destruction.

"Sect Master, there's no need for self-destruction; I can kill him too!"

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out, snapping Ji Ziyang back to his senses.

He opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the tall, slender figure hovering above him.

At this moment, Su Chen stretched out his arm, palm facing himself, absorbing the violent and out-of-control power within his body.

He's stopping himself from self-destructing!

"Su Chen?"

Upon seeing Su Chen, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Ji Ziyang's lifeless eyes. Especially after hearing Su Chen's words, he opened his mouth and asked incredulously, "You can kill Bi Tianyu?"

His words were dry and unbelievable.

He didn't think Su Chen was a match for Bi Tianyu; the gap between them was widening infinitely as Bi Tianyu's strength increased.

Su Chen is probably no match for Bi Tianyu now.

Su Chen chuckled lightly and said calmly, "If the sect leader doesn't believe me, just wait and see."

“Yes, don’t resort to suicide bombing all the time; it doesn’t solve anything,” Gu Xiaoyao, who had rushed back from the side, quickly said.

After he and Su Chen returned to the Desolate Ancient Mountains, they sensed the aura of the Heavenly Demon and immediately realized that something was wrong. So they rushed back to Ziyang City. Unexpectedly, the situation was more serious than they had imagined. Ji Ziyang actually chose to self-destruct!
Upon seeing this, Su Chen immediately appeared and took action. Fortunately, he was able to absorb various powers, which alleviated Ji Ziyang's out-of-control energy and prevented him from self-destructing.

"Okay!" Ji Ziyang nodded upon hearing this.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Bi Tianyu, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He said, "Bi Tianyu, your opponent next is me!" (End of Chapter)
