If it were possible, this would absolutely not have been the case for him.

"So that's how it is."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, as long as Xiang Qianqiu wasn't deceiving him.

"I ask you now... do you still intend to make a move?"

Chen Yuan merely smiled faintly:

"You've condensed a Rule Flower, meaning you're merely at the beginning of the Six Realms, and your realm isn't even stable, having completely abandoned the path of the physical body, right?"

"What, do you still wish to engage in battle with me? Do you think you're the me from the Battle of Liangshan, that just by wielding the God Slaying Spear you can defy heaven and defeat immortals? Even if you have such strength,

you have yet to comprehend the rules, nor do you possess an immortal weapon like the God Slaying Spear!"

Xiang Qianqiu's brow furrowed, seemingly unsure where Chen Yuan's confidence stemmed from, to be so arrogantly self-assured, attempting to emulate his past feats.

"Nothing in this world is absolute."

A smile crept upon Chen Yuan's lips, and in the next moment, an immensely astonishing aura surged forth, and the intangible power of the rules instantly enveloped the area several feet around him.

Demi-Immortal!!!

"You... have understood the rules!"

Xiang Qianqiu's pupils shrank deeply, his face full of incredulity.

Chen Yuan had actually broken through!

So quickly comprehending the rules was absolutely beyond his expectations. He considered himself a peerless genius, yet it took him many years to transition from perfect conception to understanding the rules.

He knew the vast gap between Chen Yuan and ordinary people, which was why he had no choice but to abandon his previous thoughts, suppressing him with a powerful realm, but he never anticipated.

In just over a month, the opponent actually crossed the chasm and broke through to the Half-Immortal Realm.

No wonder the opponent had been so audacious, full of confidence.

Perhaps, in his eyes, being in the same Half-Immortal Realm was enough to suppress him. If he continued to cling to the path of the Martial God, unwilling to break through and plot against him, the end would be death!

Xiang Qianqiu's expression was gloomy and unpredictable, extremely unpleasant.

Just as Chen Yuan did not expect him to break through the Six Realms, he also did not expect that this person would break through to the Half-Immortal Realm, equivalent to returning to the situation at the Goddess Palace.

He was one line stronger than him, but that line wasn't enough to crush him.

"In this world, nothing is absolute." Chen Yuan's eyes shone with light. He indeed did not expect Xiang Qianqiu's cultivation to change so drastically.

But before coming, he had prepared for everything, confident to face it.

Xiang Qianqiu's confidence was just his strong cultivation, and that he wielded the God Slaying Spear, a supreme immortal weapon. But after their last encounter, Chen Yuan could basically determine he had some means from Chu's Grand Ancestor.

It was left during his tribulation crossing, and while the God Slaying Spear was a formidable weapon to others, it might not necessarily be in his case, thus breaking one of his arms.

As for cultivation...

Xiang Qianqiu had indeed broken through to the Six Realms, but he was no longer the Chen Yuan of the past, having also comprehended the rules. The opponent had just entered the Six Realms, strong indeed, but not without hope for battle.

Looking back at the opponents he encountered along the way, almost every one was stronger than him, yet he could still achieve victory time and again, and this time would be no different.

If Xiang Qianqiu could defy heaven and defeat immortals, there's no reason he couldn't!

Today is the day he defeats immortals!

"Today... I will kill you!"

Chen Yuan stepped forward, his immense aura stirring the heavenly phenomenon, shaking the entire Secret Realm, the ground cracked, azure mist dispersed, primordial energy erupted.

It was precisely intimidated by his aura.

"Heh... heh heh heh... hahaha... good... good, in the end, we have come to this point. Since so, there's nothing much to say."

Let's see if I will suppress you, the rebellious son, or if you can reach the point of defeating immortals, slay the father and kill the deity!"

Xiang Qianqiu suddenly raised his head.

This was the worst scenario he anticipated, but having reached this stage, he had no regrets, only a battle awaited.

If Chen Yuan wins, it is his ability.

But if his abilities fall short, then he could not blame him for being heartless and ruthless.

The terrifying power of the rules twisted the void, causing it to warp. The dragon throne beneath him shattered suddenly, and the dragon robe moved with the aura, reaching the pinnacle moment of momentum.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

For a moment, silence pervaded, and then the two moved simultaneously, the void of the Secret Realm erupted with a blast, twisting at once, like two meteors colliding directly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Terrifying explosions resounded incessantly, the collision of rules limitless killing intent, blood qi pushing simultaneously to the utmost limit, each punch almost shattered the void.

The scene was so vast, the entire Secret Realm being their battlefield, the space shifted as if distance had become meaningless, both sides unleashed their fury and murderous intent completely, holding nothing back.

Indeed, Xiang Qianqiu's cultivation was one line stronger than Chen Yuan, his rules could form substantial flowers, connecting with heaven and earth, wielding immensely powerful force, able to crack the ground and cause heavens to crumble with a wave.

But Chen Yuan was no pushover. He also understood the rules, and his physical body was even one line stronger than Xiang Qianqiu's. The opponent couldn't achieve a truly overwhelming advantage over him in combat.

At least in the short term, newly entered into the Six Realms, Xiang Qianqiu couldn't break through Chen Yuan's rule boundary.

The rules at this moment carried no attributes, simply constructing the most fundamental rules of heaven and earth, the difference lying only in who comprehended them deeper and stronger.

Thus, Xiang Qianqiu could obliterate Sima's ancestor's avatar initially, and for that, no matter what, he couldn't easily suppress Chen Yuan now.

Originally, his expectations were different. In his imagination, regardless of Chen Yuan's talent, it's impossible to comprehend the rules so quickly, thus, a stronger rule was his greatest approach.

But unfortunately, Chen Yuan time and again exceeded his expectations, the more he didn't want Chen Yuan to achieve something, the more Chen Yuan demonstrated it to him.

The terrifying power of the rules intertwined like chains, perpetually in contention, simultaneously, the physical collisions between Chen Yuan and Xiang Qianqiu were excessively terrifying. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Every confrontation was akin to thunder shaking.

The blood qi roared, heavenly thunder rolled.

This was the truest portrayal of the relationship between father and son.

"Die!"

Chen Yuan shouted angrily, Dragon Roar shaking the heavens, Black Dragon coiling around him, blood qi surged like rivers, directly transforming the area within a hundred feet into a blood red, accompanying his heavily struck fist.

The entire Secret Realm trembled in response.

Xiang Qianqiu's eyes were profound, snorted coldly, advancing without retreat, he had broken through the Six Realms and became an Immortal, unbelieving that he couldn't kill a Half-Immortal!

Terrifying blood qi rumbling continuously, Xiang Qianqiu's right arm tremored, fist power shattering the void, rules ceaselessly entangled, colliding head-on with Chen Yuan's fist.

By ordinary logic, experts of this level would have long surpassed such physical collisions, yet for them, who cultivated the physical body, this was indeed a perfect fighting method.

Appearing seemingly like a Martial Artist of the Lower Three Realms, in reality, there was an immeasurable difference.

"Boom!!!"

Endless roaring exploded, the sulfur crown Xiang Qianqiu wore shattered instantly, black hair cascading like waterfalls, and the dragon robe on him was ripped apart by the shockwave.

And Chen Yuan's black king robe also shattered, his hairpin snapped, both sides groaned simultaneously, retreating swiftly, the terrifying aftershock swept through all directions like a tsunami mountain collapse.

The center of the void where they fought collapsed directly, exposing the chaotic void outside, seemingly finding a vent, continually surging into the Secret Realm.

The rupture point grew increasingly worse, visibly expanding.

The Secret Realm wasn't a real world, incapable of self-repairing the solid void, such Secret Realms were created by the mighty Earth Immortals, once fragmented, it would spread throughout the whole realm.

"Xiang Qianqiu... you are nothing!"

Chen Yuan also let his long hair flow, his voice powerful as thunder.
