43: The sword slays Ye Chen! The Fourth Transformation Sword Law! Fifth on the Venerable Ranking!

"Imprisoning the Void Realm, drawing a circle as a prison, this is... Third Transformation Law of Space."

"Just what kind of Prodigy is this Lu Yuan? Five Elements Law, Law of Thunder, Sword Law, and now he has even cultivated the supreme Law of Space to such a level."

Yan Nantian felt his scalp tingle.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a Prodigy existed in this world.

High above in the sky.

Lu Yuan did not pay any attention to the shock of the crowd.

His Great Void Splitting Light Sword, under the augmentation of the Innate sword shadow, had weakened it layer by layer, eventually completely shattering Ye Chen's Taiyi Heaven-Opening Sword.

Under the pressure of that immense Sword Intent, Ye Chen was not only uninjured but instead laughed up at the sky.

"Very good, Lu Yuan, I must thank you."

Ye Chen's hair was disheveled, but his eyes flashed with wild joy.

"If not for your pressure, this sword strike of mine would not have reached Perfection. Now, I can feel it; that barrier has broken."

The Sword Intent on his body began to surge wildly, and the previously blurry Sword Domain actually began to show signs of solidifying.

Peak of the Third Transformation, transitioning toward the Fourth Transformation.

This was a Breakthrough in the middle of battle.

"As long as I take this step and achieve the Sword Domain, you will be the one who dies today." Ye Chen was full of confidence, his expression filled with arrogance.

Lu Yuan watched this scene, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"A Breakthrough in battle, trying to use me as a whetstone."

"Unfortunately, you won't have that chance."

Lu Yuan's thoughts shifted slightly.

He did not use any other means, but instead poured the power of the Third Transformation Law of Space without reservation into the Innate sword shadow behind him.

The Fusion of space and sword.

"Slash."

Lu Yuan pointed a finger.

That Innate sword shadow instantly disappeared from where it was.

Ignoring the distance of space, ignoring the passage of time.

The next instant.

It appeared directly in front of Ye Chen's glabella.

Fast.

Fast to the point of transcending the limits of thought.

The wild joy on Ye Chen's face had not yet faded, and the nearly formed Sword Domain had not yet fully unfolded.

Pfft.

A soft sound.

The Innate sword shadow pierced through Ye Chen's head without any obstruction, along with his Primordial Spirit, strangling them both.

Ye Chen's body froze in mid-air.

The light in his eyes faded rapidly, carrying a trace of unwillingness and disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

Bang.

His body exploded, turning into a sky full of light rain.

Lu Yuan watched the light rain dissipating across the sky, his brows slightly raised.

No flesh and blood flying, no remains left behind.

Within those light rains, there was only pure energy and fluctuations of Divine Thought.

"A Clone."

Lu Yuan instantly understood.

The one who came to participate in the ceremony this time was actually just a Clone of Ye Chen, not his true self.

No wonder this person acted so arrogantly; even when facing a life-or-death crisis, he had no fear. It turned out he was not afraid of death at all.

"What a sly Ye Chen with his three burrows."

Lu Yuan sneered in his heart.

Although he only killed a Clone, this Clone contained a large amount of Ye Chen's Origin power and Divine Thought.

Destroying it would surely cause severe damage to Ye Chen's true body, and he would not be able to recover in a short time.

Just at the moment Ye Chen's Clone dissipated.

A familiar System notification sound rang in Lu Yuan's mind.

[Ding, successfully intercepted the Fourth Transformation Sword Law Opportunity of the Son of Destiny Ye Chen, triggering a hundredfold critical return, Fourth Transformation Sword Law comprehension infusion, rewarding 1000 Destiny Points.]

Lu Yuan's mind trembled slightly.

It seems that even if it is just a Clone, as long as the Opportunity is plundered, the System still judges it as a successful interception.

Boom!

A boundless and extremely sharp Dao comprehension instantly surged into Lu Yuan's Sea of Consciousness.

He already possessed the Chaos Sword Body, and his affinity for the sword Dao was the ultimate in the world.

Under the augmentation of this massive comprehension, the Sword Law that was already at the Peak of the Third Transformation instantly, like a flood breaking a dam, broke through the last barrier.

Hum.

Heaven and Earth resonated.

With Lu Yuan as the center, the Void Realm for hundreds of miles suddenly rippled densely.

Countless transparent Sword Qi were born from thin air, roaming through every inch of space.

Grass, trees, bamboo, and stones could all become swords.

Even every speck of dust turned into the sharpest sword at this moment.

This is a Domain.

Sword Domain.

Within this Domain, Lu Yuan was the only Dominator of the sword.

"This is... the power of the Fourth Transformation Law."

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, with thousands of sword lights arising and dying within them.

He turned around and looked at Venerable Wuying, who was imprisoned in the spatial cage, looking at this Heaven and Earth Phenomenon with a terrified expression.

"Since you are here, try this Fourth Transformation Sword Law."

Lu Yuan's thoughts stirred.

The Sword Domain covering hundreds of miles suddenly contracted.

All the sharpness, all the Sword Intent, gathered entirely onto that narrow spatial cage.

"No, spare me..."

Venerable Wuying let out a shrill scream.

However, the sound stopped abruptly as soon as it left his mouth.

The moment the Sword Domain touched his body.

His entire being, along with the indestructible spatial cage, turned into a rain of light in an instant, completely turning into nothingness.

A Soul Transformation Early Stage Venerable who excelled in concealment and survival could not even last a single breath in front of the Fourth Transformation Sword Domain, and his trace of existence was completely wiped away.

Azure Cloud Sect.

Yan Nantian stared blankly at this scene, the teacup in his hand having been crushed into powder at some point.

His throat was dry, and he swallowed hard.

"Fourth Transformation Law... Sword Domain."

"This... this is the bearing of a Refining Void Great Power!"

As an Elder of the Yu Hua Immortal Sect, he was knowledgeable and experienced.

He knew very well that anyone who could Revered Master the Fourth Transformation Law during the Soul Transformation Stage was without exception a Prodigy who would shake the past and present. As long as they did not fall midway, they would definitely become a Refining Void Great Power in the future, and even have hopes of reaching Body Integration.

"The Eastern Wilderness... is about to change."

Beside him, the Tianji Pavilion Commander's eyes also flashed with deep shock and a strange look.

He took a deep breath, took out the Jade Slip of the Tianji Ranking, and carved on it with trembling fingers.

"Ancestor Qingyun Lu Yuan, Breakthrough in battle, mastered the Fourth Transformation Sword Law, killed the Taiyi Sect Sect Leader's Clone, and instantly killed Wanhun Hall's Venerable Wuying."

"Eastern Wilderness Venerable Ranking... corrected to fifth place."

The reason it was fifth was that the four people ranked ahead were also existences who had comprehended the Fourth Transformation Law during the Soul Transformation Stage.

But as a newly promoted Soul Transformation, Lu Yuan's ability to directly land at fifth place was already shocking.

On the square.

Gu Qingxue looked at that invincible figure in the sky, her beautiful eyes already filled with tears—tears of excitement.

She knew her husband was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be strong to this extent.

And Lu Xueyao, standing beside her, gripped the long sword in her hand tightly, her eyes burning with unprecedented light.

"Is this Revered Master's sword Dao?"

"One day, I will also reach this Realm."

Lu Yuan dispersed his Sword Intent and slowly descended.

Although that terrifying Fourth Transformation Sword Domain had been put away, in the eyes of everyone present, his body seemed to still be surrounded by an invisible sharpness that could sever the Void Realm, making people dare not look directly at him.
