Ye Xuan looked into the distance. Before the Qingxuan Sword stood a woman!
She wore a simple white robe, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her left hand behind her back, and her right hand holding the Qingxuan Sword.
Between her brows was a mysterious blood-red rune.
Ye Xuan gazed at the woman. Without a doubt, this must be the Law God of the Law Realm!
And for her to so effortlessly catch his sword, she was clearly a powerhouse beyond the human realm!
Beyond the human realm!
Ye Xuan’s expression grew grave.
The white-robed woman glanced at Ye Xuan, then flicked her jade-like finger lightly.
Buzz!
The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently and flew back.
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He reached out with his right hand to grab the sword.
Boom!
The moment he caught it, his entire body shuddered, retreating ten thousand zhang!
Behind him, the starry sky within a million zhang was erased!
When Ye Xuan stopped, his right hand trembled uncontrollably.
If he hadn’t cultivated the Ancient Battle Body, that strike would have obliterated him!
In the distance, the white-robed woman glanced at Ye Xuan, then turned to Gu beside him. “Gu!”
Gu laughed. “So it’s you!”
The white-robed woman’s expression was calm. “You’re lucky to be out. Why not keep a low profile?”
Gu blinked. “Back when you were by the Master of the Great Dao Pen’s side, you were just a little kid. Now you’re something, huh?”
The white-robed woman gave Gu a cold look. “If I were you, I’d keep my tail tucked and behave.”
Gu sneered. “Telling me what to do? Who do you think you are?”
With that, she vanished from the spot.
Boom!
Above the white-robed woman, spacetime split open, and an axe came crashing down!
Rumble!
With that axe, the entire Law Realm shattered!
Countless laws retreated in panic!
Ye Xuan was also knocked back by a powerful force!
Fortunately, with his Ancient Battle Body, he withstood the impact, but the surrounding laws weren’t so lucky. Those too slow to dodge were erased by Gu’s shockwave!
Such was the terror of mere residual force!
In the distance, a glint of ferocity flashed in the white-robed woman’s eyes. She opened her palm, and a law seal shot skyward!
Head-on clash!
Rumble!
With a deafening explosion, the Law Realm turned to nothing. Between the two, terrifying forces kept surging outward!
A million star domains began to fracture in that moment!
On the other side, Ye Xuan watched Gu and the woman, his eyes filled with solemnity.
Beyond the human realm!
He hadn’t expected powerhouses beyond the human realm to be this terrifying!
Invincible below the human realm?
Utterly useless!
Compared to those beyond the human realm, it was like heaven and earth!
Without the Ancient Battle Body, he wouldn’t even withstand their shockwaves!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Damn it!
After cultivating so long, he thought he could show off, only to find he was still so weak!
So infuriating!
When would he ever be invincible?
Such a pain!
…
In the distance, Gu and the white-robed woman faced each other. Gu held an axe, a faint smile on her face, utterly composed!
Across from her, the white-robed woman’s expression was somewhat grave.
Gu suddenly laughed. “I have to admit, your master is impressive! But you? What are you to point fingers at me?”
With that, she vanished again.
Rip!
Before the white-robed woman, spacetime split open!
Rumble!
An axe slashed through the air!
The white-robed woman’s eyes narrowed. Her hands formed a seal, and a massive rune shield appeared above her!
Rumble!
As the axe struck, the rune shield shattered instantly, and the white-robed woman was flung back tens of thousands of zhang!
At that moment, Gu opened her palm, and the axe appeared in her hand. She sneered, “What a thing you are!”
With that, she spun in place and swung the axe down at the white-robed woman!
Rip!
The axe tore the silent star domain into countless fragments!
In the distance, the white-robed woman’s face changed dramatically. Her hands formed another seal, and countless mysterious Great Dao runes appeared, followed by countless golden lights.
Boom!
The silent star domain ignited, turning into a sea of fire!
Rumble!
A earth-shattering explosion rang out!
The countless golden lights shattered like glass under a heavy blow!
Bang!
The white-robed woman was thrown back another hundred thousand zhang!
Completely dominated!
Gu didn’t pursue further. She glanced at the white-robed woman and laughed. “Now do you know what you are?”
The white-robed woman wiped the blood from her mouth and looked at Gu. “Worthy of being the number one of the ancient era!”
Gu sneered, then retreated to Ye Xuan’s side. She glanced at him. “You okay?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Gu laughed. “The Ancient Battle Body’s not bad, huh?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “It’s decent!”
Seeing Ye Xuan’s low spirits, Gu smiled. “You’re already impressive. In this Law Realm, aside from that woman, no one could withstand two of your sword strikes!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Not enough!”
Gu blinked. “Then keep improving!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
At that moment, the white-robed woman suddenly vanished into the depths of the starry sky, and the surrounding laws disappeared as well.
They were gone!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
Gu suddenly said, “They probably won’t dare trouble you for a while.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “They’re still a hidden threat.”
He wasn’t afraid of the laws targeting him; he feared they’d target his Guanxuan Academy.
Gu suddenly asked, “Do you really want to get stronger?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Of course!”
Gu smiled. “Go to the Ancient Battle Realm!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Ancient Battle Realm?”
Gu nodded. “A very special place. There’s an Ancient Battle Ranking there. If you want to boost your combat strength, go challenge the ranking!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Are they all below the human realm?”
Gu laughed. “Plenty are above it too!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Gu added, “As the Master of the Great Dao Pen said, you should go broaden your horizons! This universe is far beyond what you can imagine.”
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile.
Gu glanced around and said, “This is really a small circle. Go see the bigger one! Let’s go!”
With that, she took Ye Xuan and vanished.
In the spacetime tunnel, Ye Xuan rode his sword. Seeming to recall something, he suddenly asked, “Didn’t you say only those who’ve established an order are considered Order Realm? What’s that Law God then?”
Gu explained, “Below the human realm, above the human realm, there’s also the Human Realm. She’s at the Human Realm, technically half-step Order. Using the Master of the Great Dao Pen’s influence, she’s started building her own order. But even if she succeeds, it’s just a small-scale order. It’s not much.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “I understand.”
He looked at Gu. “Can you tell me how big this universe is?”
Gu blinked. “You sure?”
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile. “Will it crush my confidence?”
Gu nodded. “It might!”
Ye Xuan said, “I’m ready.”
Gu laughed. “The Four-Sided Universe!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Four-Sided Universe?”
Gu nodded slightly. “The largest known universe is the Four-Sided Universe, and we live within it. The place we were just at belongs to the Southern Star Domain. In the Southern Star Domain, the most powerful force was once the Ancient Sect, which I used to lead, until the Master of the Great Dao Pen wiped it out.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “So you once unified the entire Southern Star Domain and established a new order here?”
Gu nodded.
Ye Xuan looked at Gu. “But the Four-Sided Universe has three other domains—East, West, and North?”
Gu said, “More precisely, four. There’s also the Origin Universe, the center of the Four-Sided Universe, home to a super force, the Origin Empire!”
She shook her head with a smile. “Back then, I wanted to conquer the Origin Universe, but I failed before I even started.”
Ye Xuan glanced at her. “If there were no Master of the Great Dao Pen, what were your chances of conquering the Origin Universe?”
Gu shook her head. “I was full of confidence back then, but looking back, my chances weren’t great.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why not?”
Gu smiled. “I didn’t have the ability to sweep the Origin Empire alone. I needed my team, but my team…”
She sighed, shaking her head.
Ye Xuan: “…”
Gu looked into the distance and said softly, “Before meeting your sister, I thought about cultivating again and making a comeback. But now…”
She shook her head. “You don’t need to establish an order to be invincible. There are many paths to the Great Dao; no need to stick to one.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “True.”
Gu added, “The Origin Universe was much smarter than me back then. When facing the Master of the Great Dao Pen, the Origin Empire’s leader chose submission. Now, the Origin Empire grows stronger by the day.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Submit to the Master of the Great Dao Pen and follow his order?”
Gu nodded. “Yes. They didn’t resist. That was smart. If they had, with that guy’s strength… the Origin Empire would likely have vanished from this world.”
Ye Xuan looked at Gu. “Just how strong is the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Gu smiled. “What do you think of me?”
Ye Xuan said, “Very strong.”
Gu nodded. “I only established an order in the Southern Star Domain. He established his order across the entire Four-Sided Universe, and even beyond it!”
She smiled faintly. “Know why he doesn’t bother with you now? Your little order is just child’s play to him. He doesn’t take you seriously at all.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “That jerk. I’ll have my sister beat him to death!”
Gu: “…”
