363: I borrow myself, I borrow the future, I borrow the ultimate method.

Crack.

Ten zhang above Qin Wangchuan's head, the Void Realm suddenly collapsed downward, as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly pressed a pit into that part of the sky.

Immediately after, a heavy shadow squeezed out from within—

It was not a sharp sword shape.

Instead, it was a massive, dark heavy sword, like the heavens tilting—carrying the majestic momentum of collapsing mountains and suppressing the earth, it fell straight toward the top of Qin Wangchuan's head!

Almost at the same instant, Chi Li moved.

Her figure transformed into a blazing red light. What remained in the air were no longer claw shadows but nine overlapping flaming runes, linked together into an array, the scorching fire intent locking down all of Qin Wangchuan's lateral movement trajectories.

Yan Kui lowered his body and stomped heavily, his fists striking the ground. Rubble rose to form a wall, sealing off the retreat below.

Juque suppressing from above, the flame array locking the air, and rock walls sealing the ground.

A trinity, with no way to retreat.

Facing the siege, Qin Wangchuan's expression remained unchanged.

After dropping the heavenly suspended silk, he first crushed the array runes with a stomp.

His left leg retreated half a step with the momentum, his body turning slightly, and a Dragon Tail Swing slammed fiercely against the newly formed rock wall!

Rumble!

The rock wall shattered, and stones pierced through the air.

However, the offensive did not stop.

Just as he raised his head and turned, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked!

In a thunderous roar, a three-zhang square piece of the arena stage actually surged upward like a living thing, its edges as neat as if cut by a knife, transforming into a simple stone platform that carried him to collide fiercely with the slowly pressing heavy sword!

The "Dao-Breaking Law"—this was a special technique brought by Xuan Ye's special Physique, possessing immense power that could break all Daos and laws in the world.

As long as it hit, even Qin Wangchuan would certainly suffer heavy damage.

It seemed like a perfect plan, calculated on the fact that he couldn't use the Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword to clash with it.

But all of this was actually a feint.

Xuan Ye stood dozens of zhang away, his silver pupils locking onto Qin Wangchuan, who was being pushed toward Juque by the stone platform, his eyes swirling with the leisure of having victory in his grasp.

Juque was not for killing, but for forcing; the flame array was not for locking, but for inducing; the rock wall was not for trapping, but for diverting attention.

Everything was to deceive Qin Wangchuan's eyes that could see through attacks.

The real killing move was on Chi Li.

Most Descendants of the Venerable Kings possess innate talents. Yan Kui can manipulate the earth on a small scale, while Chi Li—

She can completely erase her own presence silently.

This ability went a step further after her promotion to Supreme; no announcement was needed, no momentum needed to be built, and even when the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol appeared, it could erase the fluctuations that should have been world-shaking.

This was the truly unsolvable killing move.

“No matter how powerful your eyes are, you won't be able to see this move.”

Xuan Ye whispered in his heart, his eyes cold and certain.

But just as Chi Li's 「Karma Fire Hell-Suppressing Wisdom King」 silently condensed and rushed toward Qin Wangchuan—

He clearly saw Qin Wangchuan's gaze shift an inch in this direction.

Xuan Ye's breath suddenly hitched.

A most absurd guess pierced into his mind like an icicle—

Could it be that those eyes don't see through attack trajectories, but... see the future?

“Stop—”

He shouted sharply, but it was already too late.

The Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword indeed could only be used once in a short time because it was not a law but the manifestation of a Dao sword; the sword wouldn't be able to hold up if used continuously.

Even so, it could be borrowed from other “Qin Wangchuans”!

On the stone platform, the wheel of fate appeared behind Qin Wangchuan again, and the left half burst open.

“I borrow the law, Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword.”

Buzz—

Directly above Juque, the Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword, which was thought impossible to appear, condensed once more, its tip pointing down, falling like heavenly punishment.

That Juque heavy sword, capable of overturning the earth, didn't even last for a breath the moment it touched the Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword, shattering upon impact.

The sword's momentum didn't stop, continuing to fall toward the Dharma Idol rushing up from below.

Chi Li's pupils shrank suddenly.

Her 「Karma Fire Hell-Suppressing Wisdom King」 was currently sprinting toward Qin Wangchuan, its neck perfectly exposed right beneath the falling sword light—as if it were delivering its vital point into the path of the slash.

No, it wasn't “as if.”

It was calculated.

The angle and timing of that sword's fall, even the speed and height of her Dharma Idol's dive... everything was predicted to the extreme.

She wanted to pull back, to turn aside, to dissipate the Dharma Idol—

But it was already too late.

The sword's might, like a prison, locked her down firmly.

Puchi!

The sword tip accurately pierced the back of the Dharma Idol's neck, its momentum unabated, carrying the weight of ten thousand jun as it slammed the entire flaming Wisdom King fiercely into the ground!

Boom—

The arena stage shook violently.

The 「Karma Fire Hell-Suppressing Wisdom King」 was pinned to the ground in a kneeling position, the sword blade entering from the back of its neck, exiting through the throat, and sinking deep into the stone surface of the stage.

Surging karmic fire splashed out from the wound like blood.

Inside the Dharma Idol's brow, Chi Li's true body was not injured by the sword tip, but she shook violently as if she felt the pain herself, stumbling to her knees.

She clutched her neck tightly, a gurgling sound coming from her throat, but she couldn't make a sound—as soon as she opened her mouth, hot blood poured uncontrollably from between her teeth, dripping through her fingers.

When she looked up again, her face was devoid of color.

The situation reversed in an instant.

And on the left side of Qin Wangchuan's waist, a long, thin wound silently split open—it was the backlash of borrowing the law.

He seemed oblivious to it.

With a flash of his figure, he was already standing on the head of the pinned 「Karma Fire Hell-Suppressing Wisdom King」.

Without looking at the person beneath his feet, his gaze was directed straight at Xuan Ye in the distance.

Xuan Ye did not sit and wait for death.

He had already summoned his own Heaven and Earth Law—the 「Indestructible Heaven-Slaying Monarch」.

“As expected, the five-character Heaven and Earth Law belongs to Lord Xuan Ye!”

“But why... does it seem different from the previous one?”

Though it was the same Heaven and Earth Law, it was entirely different from the Blue Heaven Dharma Idol Qin Wangchuan had summoned earlier.

The biggest difference was the lack of a battle robe, and its figure was noticeably a size smaller.

Xuan Ye raised his hand, his silver pupils locking onto Qin Wangchuan, and spat out two words from his lips:

“Draw blade.”

The Dharma Idol's right hand slowly gripped the hilt.

Qin Wangchuan stood on the Wisdom King's shoulder, his right hand also raised, his voice as calm as a windless well:

“I borrow the law—「Indestructible Heaven-Slaying Monarch」.”

Before his voice faded, blue light surged from the wheel of fate behind him.

The Blue Heaven Dharma Idol, draped in a Black-Patterned Battle Robe and possessing heaven-like pressure, stepped out once more, its figure towering, far more solid and massive than the one Xuan Ye condensed.

Two Dharma Idols with the same name confronted each other across the space.

Qin Wangchuan's gaze lowered slightly:

“Draw blade.”

Clang—

The Blue Heaven Dharma Idol drew its blade.

Xuan Ye's Dharma Idol had clearly moved a step ahead.

But the blade light from Qin Wangchuan's side was already reflected deep in his pupils.

In just an instant.

A blue slash line fell from the sky—

The chest of Xuan Ye's 「Indestructible Heaven-Slaying Monarch」 exploded with blinding light; before the blade even left its sheath, its figure was nearly split vertically!

Under the immense force, the Dharma Idol was slammed out of the arena stage, crashing into the dust of a distant broken wall.

Yan Kui roared and also summoned his Heaven and Earth Law, the 「Five Directions Mountain-Stabilizing Sea-Suppressing Idol」, just about to rush forward—

Qin Wangchuan didn't even turn his head, casually raising his left hand.

“I borrow the law—”

“Heavenly Sword · Final Tribulation.”

Above Yan Kui's head, the sky split open. The sword that Dao of Spiritual Law had once used to slash down the Heavenly City silently condensed and fell toward him.

With no way to avoid it, he could only control his Heaven and Earth Law to hold up the sky with both arms—

BOOM!!!

The giant sword pressed down, and the 「Five Directions Mountain-Stabilizing Sea-Suppressing Idol」 suddenly fell to its knees, the stone surface beneath it cracking inch by inch.

Although it blocked the sword, it was pinned down firmly, unable to move.

On the stage, there was a moment of dead silence.

The observers all knew the weight of those three—they were not ordinary prodigies, but true-blooded royalty from the Otherworld, Descendants of the Venerable Kings born above all living beings.

Especially Xuan Ye, who possessed the five-character Heaven and Earth Law, was asserted by the elders of the Otherworld to be the most likely Prodigy to become a Heavenly Emperor.

But now—

One was pinned kneeling at his feet;

One was pressed kneeling to the ground by a giant sword, struggling to hold on with a distorted expression;

One was slammed out of the stage by his own Heaven and Earth Law, his fate unknown.

Chi Li raised her head with difficulty, looking at Qin Wangchuan standing on the Wisdom King's shoulder, a raspy, broken voice squeezing out of her throat:

“What Realm are you exactly in... How is it possible... to be strong to this extent...”

Without using a Heaven and Earth Law, just relying on a strange law-borrowing Divine Ability to crush them.

This is impossible!

“Realm?” Qin Wangchuan didn't turn his gaze upon hearing this, but suddenly had a realization.

“Oh, Realm.”

“That actually reminds me.”

The moment his voice fell—

Boom!

The entire arena stage shook violently.

A majestic aura that had been suppressed for a long time erupted from his body like a flood breaking a dam, surging violently!

But at the moment he was about to achieve a Breakthrough, it suddenly halted.

Just one step away.

Only needing to utter that name to push open that door... and reach an even higher Realm.

Qin Wangchuan slowly closed his eyes.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
