198: Chapter 198 Ji Yebai's Surprise

Ralva left.

The Speaker fell silent.

The scene Ralva had just shown gave him some grasp of Ji Yebai's strength.

As a Saint Rank, and a high-level one at that, he naturally possessed strength and vision that Ralva did not.

This Ji Yebai was very strong.

Truly strong.

More importantly, it was the Laws he mastered.

Even just through the footage, he could clearly feel the operation of the Five Elements Law.

The Five Elements Law was a Great Law.

Its power was naturally immense; there was no doubt about that.

But...

"What was that black and white light!? It actually obliterated that Demon God Heart directly; even the eruption of the Demon God Blood couldn't withstand it!"

The Speaker murmured to himself.

Ralva's clearance was low, so there were many things he didn't know.

From the moment he saw those images, especially that pitch-black heart, the Speaker had already confirmed certain information.

This demon was no low-level demon.

Events involving a Demon God Heart had happened before in the past.

Every occurrence brought about immense destruction.

Up until now, the demons that escaped from the other world were divided into two types.

One type was low-level demons; because the Seal's restraint on them was lighter, this category of demon appeared in the world most frequently.

But the second type was different.

These were formed when high-level demons—those known as Demon Gods—cast parts of their bodies out of the other world to reconstruct their forms through slaughter within the Universe.

The latter brought a much greater bloodbath to the Universe, and the lingering consequences were even more severe.

The last time a high-level demon's body part appeared in the Universe was two thousand years ago.

That time, just a single arm turned dozens of small Star Domains into Demonic Lands.

Ultimately, the Alliance mobilized a hundred Saint Ranks to directly refine the entire Star Domain.

Hundreds of civilizations fell, and hundreds of millions of lives were lost.

Just to eliminate the influence and suppress the information, the Alliance worked for over a hundred years.

And now.

A heart had appeared, yet it had only slaughtered tens of millions of beings.

This was why the Speaker was so calm, and even somewhat pleased.

This Saint Rank from the Blue Star Civilization was truly impressive.

It might be worth considering making contact!

The Speaker fell into deep thought.

...

Star Domain 357.

Asteroid Belt.

Ji Yebai sat cross-legged.

He looked as steady as if he were on solid ground.

But if a Martial Artist of the Life and Death Realm were present now, they would likely be horrified to discover a mysterious force field occasionally manifesting around him.

This mysterious force field would vanish the instant it appeared.

Yet, in that hazy moment, one could vaguely see infinite black and white circling.

Like a Taiji diagram.

The moment this force field emerged, the Laws around Ji Yebai fluctuated.

Myriad energies automatically transformed into the Five Elements, which were then immediately swallowed up by Ji Yebai.

Moreover, this devouring power became increasingly terrifying as Ji Yebai's cultivation progressed.

"Hu!"

Ji Yebai exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were full of joy.

This battle had brought him a bountiful harvest.

Especially his comprehension of the Yin-Yang Dao, which had reached a new level.

"By using the Yin-Yang Two Qi to interfere with the surroundings and force energy into the Five Elements, I've not only trained my application of Yin and Yang but also continuously pushed forward the progress of Reverse-Refining the Five Elements into Yin and Yang!"

"As I become more proficient with this reverse-refinement, my comprehension of the Yin-Yang Dao will continue to deepen!"

Ji Yebai laughed.

Having reached his current stage, his cultivation had become very, very slow.

This was normal.

But this time, because of the demon's difficult-to-kill nature, Ji Yebai had employed an immature technique of reverse-refining the Five Elements, forcibly piecing together a 'Five Elements Suppression, Yin-Yang Annihilation.'

But it was also this full-strength execution that caused his comprehension of the Five Elements colliding to evolve into Yin and Yang to skyrocket.

Without this battle, it would have taken Ji Yebai at least a dozen years to reach his current state of insight.

But now, a brief battle had actually compressed those dozen or so years.

A Martial Artist's strength lies in their comprehension of the Realms.

And now, the comprehension of Realms was at the level of understanding the Great Dao.

As Ji Yebai's Yin-Yang Dao deepened, the strength he could exert would grow, and even the way he integrated Laws into his body was undergoing subtle changes.

After all, different applications of Laws bring different boosts when integrated into the Physical Body.

Now, Ji Yebai's Physical Body strength had increased once again.

In his previous cultivation, although Ji Yebai could feel his physical strength improving, it was like a snail's pace.

But now the speed had changed; his current rate was at least five times faster than before.

Even in some subtle areas, the way Laws combined with flesh and blood energy began to continuously change.

The most Yang and firm aura integrated into his Physical Body, filling it with all the characteristics of Yang.

At this moment, if he completely released his aura, he would likely radiate an aura like that of the sun.

Scorching, majestic, supremely Yang, pure, vast, and firm.

And corresponding to that was Ji Yebai's Soul.

Having ascended to the Nirvana Realm, his Soul had manifested, and with Ji Yebai constantly integrating the most Yin and soft aura into it...

...his Soul strength was now skyrocketing.

The benefits were also obvious.

A more solid and powerful Soul became increasingly delicate and sensitive.

With acute Soul perception, comprehending the Great Dao became easier.

"It's time to go back!"

Ji Yebai stood up and looked around; this part of the Asteroid Belt had become shattered.

The asteroids that were originally drifting in an orderly fashion had collided and turned into a mess due to the interference during his cultivation.

Some had even been turned into dust under the interference of Ji Yebai's energy.

Ji Yebai smiled slightly and waved his hand.

In an instant, Five Elements Energy surged, and the Five Elements Law manifested.

A mysterious ripple descended upon this place.

Suddenly.

The shattered asteroids began to aggregate.

Even within the planetary debris that had been turned into powder, vortices appeared, and before long, the dust was condensed back together.

Having done all this, Ji Yebai nodded in satisfaction.

Then he walked toward New Blue Star.

Before long, he returned to the interior of the planet.

This period of cultivation had actually lasted for a year.

Only after landing did Ji Yebai remember to turn on his communicator.

At this moment, the communicator had accumulated hundreds of messages and even hundreds of call records.

Hmm!

They were all from Nangong Qing!

Ji Yebai looked at these records, and his head immediately began to throb.

He was so used to cultivating that he hadn't thought to tell Nangong Qing.

He hadn't even contacted her after returning from Guanglan Planet.

Looking at the timestamps, it seemed she started sending them right after he went to Guanglan Planet.

This...

Ji Yebai blinked.

In an instant, the image of Nangong Qing incessantly asking questions surfaced in his mind.

For some reason, he shuddered.

"Seriously, how am I supposed to explain this!?"

Ji Yebai had a headache.

He thought for a moment.

"Forget it, let's set it aside for now and figure out an explanation later!"

Unable to think of one, he decided not to for the time being. Ji Yebai sighed softly and put down his communicator.

He watched the crowds moving in and out of the city, feeling a bit unsure of where to go for a moment.

Nangong City!?

Never mind, he still hadn't thought of an explanation.

So where else could he go!?

After thinking for a long time, Ji Yebai realized he really didn't know many people.

"Bai Zhu!?"

Bai Zhu's figure surfaced in his mind.

"He's been in seclusion for many years, hasn't he!? Is it still not over!?"

Ji Yebai had used his Divine Sense to cover the entire globe before.

But it was only an unconscious coverage.

He had ignored specific places and scenes.

After all, prying into privacy wasn't good.

He'd get sties.

Because of that, he hadn't been paying attention to Bai Zhu's progress.

"Well, let's take a look!"

"If he's broken through, I'll go over and have a chat with him!"

"The person I once saw as my goal, I've caught up to him now. I can finally show off a bit!"

Suddenly, Ji Yebai laughed.

He still remembered how he had taken Bai Zhu as his target back then.

He had also vowed to chase and surpass him.

And now, he had completely achieved it!

Thinking of this, Ji Yebai's Divine Sense began to descend.

His gaze turned toward Baidi City.

His gaze pierced through space, looking directly at Baidi City.

"Hmm!?"

"This is..."

Ji Yebai's brow furrowed.

It was as if he had seen something startling.
