Chapter 1520: Law of Space vs. Law of Ice

"Batu, how dare you yell at me?" Di Fan's face darkened.

Batu looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "We all know what you want to say. Nord said it, and then he died!"

Di Fan's expression changed. Seeing everyone's eyes, he suddenly understood something.

"Our initial thoughts were the same as yours, but now we find that maybe it's not as simple as we thought. His strength is really formidable!" Batu said.

Di Fan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. The heroic momentum he had before vanished without a trace.

He wasn't first!

Watching Ye Yuan, who was locked in fierce battle in the projection, Di Fan suddenly began to doubt his own life.

Could it be that he had actually lost to a perfected demon general?

This result was somewhat unacceptable to him.

He looked at Ye Yuan, who seemed somewhat strained in the projection, and suddenly found a shred of comfort. He sneered, "Hmph! I know the strength of this eighth gatekeeper all too well. There's no way he'll get through."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with strange eyes again.

Di Fan was taken aback. "What, did I say something wrong again? Look at him—does he look like he can win?"

Some people wanted to laugh but dared not do so aloud.

After all, Di Fan's strength was undeniable; truly angering him would have no good outcome.

Batu couldn't stand it anymore and recounted Ye Yuan's progress through the trials to Di Fan.

After hearing it, Di Fan was dumbfounded.

He himself had gained a great deal from this trial, but he wouldn't dare to play it the way Ye Yuan did.

Especially after the seventh gate, each opponent was too strong, almost crushing him.

If he relaxed even a little, it wasn't a matter of winning or losing, but of life and death.

This time, Di Fan really had no temper left. He obediently joined the others in watching the only projection on the arena.

But in his heart, he frantically prayed that Ye Yuan would lose to the eighth gatekeeper.

However, he was soon disappointed. Ye Yuan's plain straight thrust directly hit the opponent's head.

Eighth gate, passed!

From the projection, this move seemed utterly unremarkable.

They couldn't understand why the gatekeeper couldn't even block such a simple sword strike.

Although no one dared to voice their doubts, in their hearts, suspicion had never been dispelled.

"Hmph! When this kid comes out, I must have a match with him! I don't believe there's no trickery in this!" Di Fan sneered in his heart.

Ye Yuan's achievements had trampled on his dignity.

As the foremost of the Dalan Six, he couldn't accept it.

However, the miracles were far from over.

Ye Yuan, as if cheating, continued to advance unhurriedly.

Ninth gate, tenth gate, eleventh gate, twelfth gate!

"Congratulations to the third arena challenger for passing the twelfth gate and receiving the second reward!"

The old voice sounded again, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"This guy, how far does he intend to go?"

"Is he going to clear all the gates? This... this is too insane!"

"The last six gates must be even harder than before! Maybe... he's reached his limit?"

...

Ye Yuan was completely unaware of the exclamations outside.

Along the way, Ye Yuan's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Not only had his comprehension of the Sword Law reached the initial perfection of the third heaven, but his Law of Space had also made great progress.

Ye Yuan had a feeling that his Law of Space might be about to reach the initial perfection of the first heaven.

The gatekeeper of the thirteenth gate was an extremely beautiful, cold woman.

"Young man, it's remarkable that you've come this far! But this is as far as you go," the cold beauty said.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Stop the chatter. Let's begin! My sword is already thirsting for battle!"

The cold beauty frowned and snorted, "Such an arrogant brat! Watch my sword!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily. "Another swordsman, bring it on!"

With that, Ye Yuan executed Moonchase, and his figure vanished instantly!

Ye Yuan's speed was extreme, invisible to the naked eye.

"Clang!"

The two swords clashed. A chill traveled along the sword to Ye Yuan's body, nearly freezing him stiff.

Startled, Ye Yuan retreated like lightning.

The cold beauty's voice suddenly rang in Ye Yuan's ear: "Trying to run? Too late!"

Ye Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This woman's movement technique was incredibly fast!

As she spoke, her sword was already at Ye Yuan's neck.

"Phantom Kill!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Ye Yuan activated Phantom Kill without hesitation, his speed surging abruptly.

He narrowly dodged the sword!

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The two figures moved at an unimaginable speed, exchanging over a hundred blows in the blink of an eye, evenly matched!

Ye Yuan's shock was beyond words. With his current strength, the power of Phantom Kill was incomparable to before.

With the boost from the Law of Space, this move was almost unstoppable.

Yet this cold beauty could keep up with his speed.

"Clang!"

The two figures separated. Ye Yuan's eyes showed wariness.

The cold beauty also revealed a look of surprise, clearly not expecting Ye Yuan to be so strong.

"No wonder you made it this far. You do have some skill!" the cold beauty said.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath and smiled. "You're very strong too. To think you've integrated the Law of Ice into your swordsmanship!"

For the first time, Ye Yuan had encountered an expert who fused two laws together!

The cold beauty's Sword Law was not particularly high, only at the late stage of the third heaven.

But what was terrifying was that her Law of Ice had also reached the third heaven!

And like Ye Yuan, she fused the two laws together, doubling their power.

During the earlier exchange, the cold beauty had surrounded herself with a domain of the Law of Ice. As soon as Ye Yuan entered this domain, his speed unconsciously slowed.

Thus, she could match him in speed.

Ye Yuan's Law of Space was indeed peculiar, but it was only at the initial stage of the first heaven.

The fact that he could contend with the cold beauty already demonstrated his strength!

"That move just now was so fast! This kid really was hiding his strength!"

"Heavens, he's already at the thirteenth gate, and he's only now using his full power?"

"This guy... is so strong he has no friends!"

...

Although they couldn't sense the fluctuations of the laws, they could still see the speed of Ye Yuan's movements.

When Ye Yuan activated Phantom Kill, his speed skyrocketed, and the geniuses naturally noticed.

"It seems he's finally met his match! Di Fan, could you keep up with that movement technique just now?" Batu suddenly asked Di Fan.

Di Fan thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. Here, we can't sense the laws; we can only see the surface. But... maybe I couldn't keep up."

At these words, everyone was stunned.

They looked at Di Fan in astonishment, never expecting him to admit that he was inferior to Ye Yuan!
