Lin Yuan's gaze directly skipped the first eight levels, firmly locking onto the Level 9 Puppet. The entirely black Puppet slowly opened its eyes, and two crimson lights pierced through the light pillar, colliding with Lin Yuan's gaze in the air, creating invisible sparks.

Lin Yuan's lips curved into an arrogant smile, and the chaos heaven-grade sword let out a clear sword cry, its tip pointing directly at the Level 9 light pillar that emitted terrifying pressure. "My Dao has always only known the extreme!" His voice echoed in the pure white space, every word seemingly carrying the power of thunder.

As soon as the battle began, Lin Yuan activated his data panel, and the Level 9 Puppet's information immediately unfolded in his Sea of Consciousness:

Base Combat Power: 100 million Stars

Attribute: Perfectly replicates all challenger's abilities

Combat Mode: Adaptive Evolution

"So that's how it is." Lin Yuan wiped away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his Battle Intent growing even stronger. The chaos heaven-grade sword trembled excitedly in his hand, the Chaos aura on the sword flowing like a living thing. The previous probing attack was countered by the opponent with the exact same sword move, and the Law burn remaining on his right arm still throbbed faintly, with strange purplish-black arcs of electricity dancing at the wound.

The Puppet suddenly raised its hand, and twenty-eight types of Law radiance intertwined in its palm, forming a brilliant star map. A Gravity Field more proficient than Lin Yuan's instantly enveloped the entire arena, the ten-thousand-fold gravity making the bronze ground groan under the strain, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards from the Puppet. Immediately after, fifteen beams of light, fused with multiple Law powers, pierced through the Void Realm, each precisely locking onto Lin Yuan's vital points, the residual spatial cracks on their trajectories lingering and unable to heal.

"Chaos Body Protection!"

Gray mist rose around Lin Yuan, and 15% of the Chaos Law formed a distorted barrier in front of him. The moment the light beams collided with the barrier, a dazzling light illuminated the entire space. After barely offsetting part of the attack, the remaining light beams, like venomous snakes, pierced through his shoulder and thigh, bringing forth splashes of crimson blood. Intense pain surged like a tide, yet it made Lin Yuan's eyes grow even clearer—this Puppet, which perfectly replicated his abilities, was the best whetstone!

"Again!"

He stomped the ground, and 20 million Stars of base power erupted. The chaos heaven-grade sword, imbued with the newly comprehended 15% Law of Ice, slashed out. Wherever the sword light passed, even space was frozen, leaving a crystalline frosty trail. The Puppet, however, responded with 12% Fire Law. Blazing flames and extreme frost collided in the air, the resulting explosion's shockwave sending both of them flying.

Mid-flight, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and 10% Gravity Law was applied in reverse. The Puppet's figure showed an imperceptible delay, and in this flash of lightning, 28 types of Law power completed a brief Fusion on the chaos heavenly extreme sword:

"Chaos: Myriad Phenomena Return to Ruin!"

Gray-black Sword Qi surged forth like a celestial river pouring down. This Sword Qi, fused with all Law powers, was even more violent than the previous "Nine Revolutions Severing Reincarnation," swallowing even light in its path. The Puppet's hastily condensed defensive barrier was torn to shreds like thin paper, and a transparent hole was blasted through its chest. But the next second, 1% Life Law combined with 12% Wood Law activated, and the wound healed at a visible speed, new flesh and blood tissues intertwining like vines.

"As expected, it's troublesome..." Lin Yuan panted, calculating the battle. That last strike consumed nearly 30% of his spiritual power, only to buy a moment of delay from the opponent. What was more difficult was that he could clearly perceive the Puppet learning his combat mode; after each engagement, the opponent's responses became more precise.

The two sides clashed again for three hundred rounds, the collision of sword light and Law power shaking the entire space. Lin Yuan's tactics began to change—he no longer sought a single decisive blow, but instead rotated through the 28 Laws, constantly creating openings. When the Puppet gradually adapted to gravity suppression, he suddenly switched to Magnetic Law, an invisible magnetic field disrupting the Puppet's metal skeleton; just after breaking through an illusion attack, he was slowed down by a sudden sound wave.

"Now!" A determined glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he invested all his remaining 45,000 evolution points into the newly acquired Illusion Law. His comprehension skyrocketed from 1% to 46%, and the nascent illusions actually carried substantial attack power, each Clone containing real killing intent.

The moment the Puppet shattered the ninth illusion, the true killing move had already taken form. The chaos heaven-grade sword greedily devoured all Law powers. This strike not only drained all of Lin Yuan's spiritual power but also simultaneously unleashed his Physical Body strength and Mental Energy:

"Chaos Opens Heaven: Divine Soul Annihilation!"

The instant the sword light slashed out, the entire white space plunged into absolute darkness, as if even time itself had frozen. When light returned, the Puppet remained frozen in place, maintaining a blocking posture. A breeze swept by, and its body collapsed like a sandcastle, disintegrating into billions of shimmering light particles. These light particles then flowed into Lin Yuan's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, ceaselessly.

Challenge successful! Congratulations to trial participant Lin Yuan for slaying a Level 9 Puppet with 100 million combat power, enhanced by 1 million times the combat power of an ordinary Gathering Origin Realm practitioner, at the Gathering Origin Realm Nine Heavens Realm, and receiving the Level 9 challenge reward!

Base Combat Power +5 million → 25 million Stars

Mental Energy +1 million → 1,203,500 Stars. Mental Energy reaches 1 million Stars, automatically Awakening 10% Mental Law.

Reward: 100% Time Law comprehension, combat power bonus 6 million Stars

Current Peak Combat Power: 122,547,500 Stars

Lin Yuan knelt on one knee, feeling an unprecedented surge of power within him. Every colored spirit crystal was gilded with a golden edge of Mental Energy, shimmering with mysterious light. The explosive growth in his Soul strength allowed him to clearly perceive the movement of Stars outside the Secret Realm, and even vaguely capture the flow of time. Most astonishing was the qualitative change brought by the Perfection of Time Law—as a higher-tier Law, when its comprehension reached 100%, the combat power bonus directly doubled! Now he could easily grasp changes in the flow of time around him, and once he fully adapted to this Perfected Law, it would undoubtedly bring a qualitative leap to his combat skills.
