The pain in his right hand broke Ye Chen out of his daze. He separated part of his focus and saw a dark light attached to his stump. This was the thing he had been searching for, the thing that was destroying his soul. Ye Chen’s first impulse was to destroy it, but he recalled that it was thanks to this pain that he didn’t become assimilated with the realm.

Ye Chen endured the pain, allowing its sting to keep him awake. Even with the external stimulation, he could feel his consciousness drifting. Just because he was awake once more didn’t mean he had succeeded. The refining process was only half done. The pain might keep him awake now, but he ultimately still had to rely on himself.

He gritted his teeth and felt his thoughts drift once more. However, no matter how shallow his thoughts became, no matter how dull the pain in his right arm became, he persisted with his firm willpower. This was his second chance, and he would not let it slip through his fingers.

Just as it seemed his thoughts would slip from his consciousness again, Ye Chen’s thoughts sharpened. He saw a trace of the Law of Time. It wasn’t just the Law of Time, but also the Law of Space, the Law of Fire, and many other concepts he had not understood.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and focused on the myriad laws. He no longer saw the world, but the essence. His head no longer pounded from the excess information inserted into his mind. Or rather, he didn’t feel like it pounded anymore as he wanted to absorb everything in an instant.

While Ye Chen wanted to continue this sensation, it suddenly stopped. He opened his eyes with a hint of confusion. He wanted to understand the essence of the laws, but the special state disappeared without warning. In fact, the special state lasted for quite a while, but he couldn’t sense the passage of time in the heat of the moment.

The sensation of the worldly laws laid bare was incredibly intoxicating, but when Ye Chen tried to recall them, he couldn’t at all, as if everything had been an illusion. He frowned, and he wanted to analyze the reason, but time waited for no one.

Ye Chen immediately received a message from Ba Shifang. “Hurry up and seal the realm if you’ve become the realmlord. I’ve been blocking the Demon Clan’s reinforcements for over a week now!”

He wanted to ignore Ba Shifang and make him suffer more. More importantly, the time right after refining the realm heart was the best time to comprehend the worldly laws, and he didn’t want to miss this chance. However, he also knew that if Ba Shifang failed to stop the Demon Clan or simply gave up because of his inaction, he wouldn’t be able to gain much.

So, Ye Chen mobilized the power of the entire realm and sealed it off. Immediately, he could feel the pressure Ba Shifang felt moments ago. With his extra senses, he detected a demon emperor and seven demon kings attacking, attempting to enter the high-rank realm.

Then, he felt a foreign power pervading the entire realm. Thinking that it was an attack, Ye Chen resisted.

As soon as he started resisting, Ba Shifang’s helpless voice entered his ears. “Don’t resist. This is the Five Planet Pearl’s power. Rather than facing all of them alone, it’s better to combine our powers, right?”

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, but then he let Ba Shifang do as he liked. Allowing a realm artifact to expand like this could result in hidden dangers in the realm, but he didn’t care. After all, he never planned to be a realmlord for too long. Once he entered the Seamless Immortal Realm, he planned to release his control of the realm heart.

A realmlord’s status was exalted, but they were also tied to one place, and Ye Chen didn’t want that.

Soon after, Ye Chen felt the pressure lessen. With their team up, the demons outside found themselves unable to break into their former territory. That realization made them crazier, but it was all for naught. Unless they became determined to destroy the high-rank realm, it was likely impossible to reclaim the lost realm. Of course, they could also dispatch more demon emperors and use their own realm artifacts, but the humans suddenly launched an attack, forcing them to disperse their forces.

This was an open scheme, one that the Demon Clan had no choice but to cooperate with.

Although the pressure lessened, Ye Chen and Ba Shifang didn’t lower their guard and continued to maintain the sealed state. While they protected the high-rank realm, the immortals began to carve formations into the realm.

Though Realmlords were practically omnipotent within their realms, they could not do everything. The range and abilities they could use were based on what they knew. If it was a formation master, they would be able to construct a formation anywhere in the realm instantaneously, with no need to have others set up the formation, like now.

As a sword immortal, Ye Chen specialized in offense. Inside the realm, he could display the raw power of a peak monarch, but he could not use the realm to set up formations, refine artifacts, or concoct pills.

It took over a month, but eventually all the defensive formations were finally erected. Ye Chen and Ba Shifang no longer had to guard twenty-four-seven. Even if the Demon Clan attacked, the formations would guard the realm, and Ye Chen only needed to exert a fraction of his previous efforts to halt the Demon Clan’s offense.

Finally with some free time, Ye Chen immediately entered secluded cultivation. Although the best period to comprehend the worldly laws had passed, he still harbored some hope. He ignored what happened in the realm and focused wholeheartedly on perceiving the Law of Space. During the process, he also expelled the foreign substance in his soul. Although it helped him refine the realm heart, it was ultimately meant to kill him.

Ye Chen vowed to repay this enmity in the future.

Days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months. Months led to years. When Ye Chen opened his eyes once more, over a decade had already passed. “Unfortunately, I reached the last step. Just one more step and I will be able to master the Law of Space.”

It sounded simple, but how many people were stopped at this step? If Ye Chen was lucky, he could comprehend the entire Law of Space tomorrow. If he was unlucky, he would not comprehend it until his dying breath. By then, he would be an emotionless tool, surviving solely because of his connection with heaven and earth.

“Damn Ba Shifang, damn Demon Clan. If I hadn’t missed the best time, I would have mastered the Law of Space now,” Ye Chen growled. After the rush of anger, he quickly calmed himself down. Logically, he knew he couldn’t blame anyone, but he was just unwilling and wanted to vent his anger on someone.

Ye Chen walked out of the core of the realm. His senses spread throughout the high-rank realm, and his senses stalled. Although the group that came to conquer this realm had the largest number of people and combat potential, there were only a little more than four hundred immortals. Why were there over a thousand immortals present?

Even if the Numinous Sword Sect and the Immortal Court wanted to send reinforcements, how could the Demon Clan not intercept it? The only reason the Demon Clan hadn’t barged in yet was because they feared the front lines collapsing and bearing Karmic Sin. But if the Numinous Sword Sect and Immortal Court sent reinforcements into the heart of the Demon Clan, they would never let this chance go.

He grabbed the closest true immortal from the Numinous Sword Sect and asked for an explanation.

The true immortal didn’t find it strange that Ye Chen didn’t know. As one of those that attacked the high-rank realm, he knew that Ye Chen had just refined the realm heart and entered secluded cultivation. So he didn’t know what happened in the past few years.

“You don’t know, but the Buzhou Immortal Court actually brought out an inter-realm teleportation formation. It can only link to Shangri-La, but that’s already amazing enough. Right now, more and more personnel are being transferred here in order to deal a critical blow and catch the Demon Clan off guard,” the true immortal said. He leaned over and whispered, “I heard that four immortal emperors have already teleported here and are lying in wait.”

“Inter-realm teleportation formation?” Ye Chen didn’t admire that like the true immortal before him nor pay attention to the possibility of immortal emperors joining. Instead, he saw farther. Since the Immortal Court could bring out an inter-realm teleportation formation to deal with the Demon Clan, would they also establish one to deal with the Numinous Sword Sect? After all, both sides controlled many lower realms.

Who’s to say that the Immortal Court hasn’t already set up a few inter-realm teleportation formations in the realms under their control and was just waiting for the right moment?

Ye Chen let the true immortal go and sought someone higher in the pecking order. He wanted to know what preparation the Numinous Sword Sect made in light of this information.

He grabbed the first sword monarch he saw, but when he saw who it was, Ye Chen paused. “Seven Star Sword Monarch?”

“It’s the rising star, Immortal Lord Ye,” Meng Tingfeng said and nodded back. “Many of us are wondering when you will enter the Seamless Immortal Realm. It should be soon, right? After becoming a realmlord, there should be nothing holding you back.”

Ye Chen’s brows twitched, but he ultimately revealed nothing on his face. He wanted revenge on Xi Tianyi, obviously Meng Tingfeng was a potential obstacle. Plus, with his connection to Xi Tianyi, the upper echelon should also be wary of Meng Tingfeng.

“It’s not the right time,” Ye Chen replied. “There’s still something I have to do.”

“It seems that Immortal Lord Ye has big ambitions.”

“Of course,” Ye Chen said. “Since I’ve embarked on this path, I’ve never been willing to wallow in mediocrity.”

Ye Chen and Meng Tingfeng separated after this short intersection. Meng Tingfeng volunteered in order to hone himself while Ye Chen wanted to seek more information.

Tianyi stood in the void and sighed. He had left Shangri-La and officially joined the front lines of the war. In front of him flew countless demon lords, tens of demon monarchs, and four demon emperors, including three of the Four Divine Beasts. Behind him were several immortals, including their own monarchs and emperors. Naturally, they all formed war formations.

Of the immortal emperors, only Tianyi was not in a war formation. He raised his palm, and several miniature suns appeared above his palm. Without another word, he shot them flying forward.

When the miniature suns exploded into novas, the countless demon lords dodged with all their might. Several demon kings and the demon emperors wanted to deal with Tianyi, but the war formations blocked them. Tianyi didn’t stop attacking and formed several more Stellar Silences and launched them.

Despite the high intensity of the war, Tianyi’s eyes were dull and lacked spirit. He had been launching Stellar Silences and Planetary Purgatories nonstop for the past few years? Even if he hadn’t used his technique a million times by now, it should be over a hundred thousand times.

The ease and speed at which he attacked now had shortened to become almost instantaneous. However, Tianyi wasn’t happy at all. Who would be happy continuously attacking for over ten years?

It was thanks to his endless amount of qi that he could pressure the Demon Clan’s forces. No demon wanted to be hit at ground zero by any of his Stellar Silences or Planetary Purgatories. When Tianyi first appeared, the Demon Clan had been unprepared, causing high casualties. And after years of continuous bombardment, Tianyi had reached the number one on the Demon Clan’s must-kill list.

Tianyi himself just wanted to rest. At this point, he was practically on autopilot. Even if a demon hit him, he didn’t care. It was not like they could kill him or injure him much.

Unfortunately for him, he would have to persist for a few more years.
