Chapter 2751: Fourth Form, Counterattack!

"An insurmountable opponent? Hah, you think too highly of yourself!" Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.

Qiu Chen looked at Ye Yuan indifferently and said, "The self-esteem of the weak is utterly useless. Even if you don't admit it, you can't last twenty moves against me. That is an indisputable fact!"

"Is that so? Then watch closely!"

With that, Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged and immediately entered a meditative state.

Qiu Chen curled his lip, dismissing it with disdain.

Not only him, but even the Purple Sun Saint Sovereign and the others couldn't help shaking their heads.

They admitted that Ye Yuan was extraordinarily talented.

But compared to the man before them, he was still far behind.

Saying such things at this point was nothing but putting up a brave front, utterly meaningless.

If you have the strength to talk tough, that's called a counterattack.

If you don't have the strength to talk tough, that's called saving face at the cost of suffering.

Clearly, Ye Yuan now belonged to the latter.

But this time, Ye Yuan didn't rush to regulate his breath.

Around him, three types of rule power gradually spread, converged, and merged.

In front of Ye Yuan, a sprout broke through the ground.

The sprout grew at a visible rate, quickly sprouting leaves and growing into a seedling.

Qiu Chen was the first to notice the anomaly, and his brow furrowed.

Purple Sun and the other Saint Emperors gradually sensed the difference as well.

The rule power around Ye Yuan was thriving, as if it were rain nourishing the growth of the seedling.

"Could it be..." Purple Sun Saint Sovereign's pupils contracted.

As if to confirm his guess, the seedling continued to grow, becoming a half-man-tall sapling.

This was the third form!

Many tender green branches sprouted from the sapling.

Soon, the rule power around Ye Yuan reached a bottleneck.

The sapling also stopped growing.

Everyone knew that Ye Yuan had reached the critical moment of breakthrough.

"Break!"

Suddenly, Ye Yuan roared, his eyes snapping open, and his aura surged abruptly.

The three rule powers of sword, array, and space seemed to burst through a gate, gushing out wildly.

All three rule powers broke through to the fourth layer at the same time!

Purple Sun Saint Sovereign trembled all over and exclaimed, "He really broke through! And all three rules broke through simultaneously! But the fusion of the fourth-layer rule powers..."

Breaking through in rule power was one thing.

Fusion was another.

After the breakthrough, the balance of the Dao manifestation was broken, requiring re-fusion.

At the Extreme Saint realm, rule power was far weaker than at the Saint Emperor realm, making fusion relatively easy.

But at the Saint Emperor realm, the difficulty of fusion was extraordinary.

However, the three rule powers around Ye Yuan rapidly swirled, forming a large millstone.

That millstone connected the three rules end to end and began to rotate.

The tree that had stopped growing began to grow wildly again.

This time, the sapling grew frantically.

Soon, it grew into a man-tall tree.

The branches gradually spread, and the leaves became lush.

"Th-this... it's already fused?" Purple Sun Saint Sovereign was dumbfounded.

"How did this guy do it? This talent is too monstrous!" Tianlu Saint Sovereign swallowed his saliva.

They had just been despising Ye Yuan, but in the blink of an eye, they were slapped in the face.

Under the immense pressure from Qiu Chen, Ye Yuan not only didn't collapse but instead broke through the fourth-layer barrier.

Not only did he break through, but he also fused it instantly!

"He doesn't comprehend rules one by one; he comprehends all three simultaneously! This method of comprehension is more than a hundred times harder than comprehending each separately! But the advantage is that once he breaks through, he can fuse immediately, reaching the fourth form of manifestation!" Qiu Chen suddenly spoke.

The listeners were shocked.

Comprehending three rules at once—what monstrous comprehension!

Even more terrifying was how fast this guy comprehended.

In just a month and a half, he had broken through to the fourth form!

After completing the fusion, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, and the fourth form of the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Tree directly transformed into flying swords circling around him.

In the fourth form, the number of flying swords Ye Yuan could control soared to one hundred and eight!

Moreover, each flying sword's power was comparable to a Heavenly Spirit Supreme Treasure!

At this moment, his essence, energy, and spirit reached their peak.

Qiu Chen looked at him and said calmly, "Even if you've broken through to the fourth form, you're still no match for me."

Ye Yuan was unperturbed and replied just as calmly, "So what? You're just a sparring partner for me. I will eventually surpass you!"

With that, Ye Yuan channeled his divine essence, and one hundred and eight flying swords instantly shot toward Qiu Chen.

At this moment, the power of the sword array was more than ten times greater than before!

Even Qiu Chen's face showed a hint of gravity.

He condensed his palm, and five flying blades shot out, clashing with Ye Yuan's one hundred and eight flying swords.

This time, Qiu Chen went all out!

This was also the strength of the Lost God Palace!

The opponents in this training ground were highly intelligent, adjusting their strength according to the opponent's level.

In fact, it was more like guiding and sparring with juniors.

It was just that Purple Sun and the others were too weak to force the prodigies to use their full strength.

Otherwise, with the strength of these prodigies, Purple Sun and the others would have been dead long ago.

This battle was noticeably more intense.

The two sides fought for over a hundred moves before Qiu Chen broke through Ye Yuan's sword array with his flying blades and defeated him.

This was definitely a huge improvement.

Before this, Ye Yuan hadn't even lasted twenty moves.

But this was just the beginning.

Having just broken through, Ye Yuan's control over the fourth form and the sword array was not yet perfect.

So he continued to challenge Qiu Chen again and again.

From a hundred moves to two hundred moves, and then to five hundred moves!

The battle between them grew increasingly intense.

Purple Sun and the others watched, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

This progress was truly too fast!

Ye Yuan's rate of progress was like a straight line, never turning!

Three months later, Ye Yuan fought Qiu Chen again!

After over three hundred moves, a sword light controlled by Ye Yuan mysteriously broke through the blockade of the five flying blades and directly pierced Qiu Chen.

Ye Yuan won!

Ye Yuan looked at Qiu Chen and smiled, "An insurmountable opponent? Today, I have surmounted you!"

Qiu Chen's aloof face showed a hint of anger.

The words he had spoken over three months ago were now thoroughly slapped in the face!

What was even more infuriating was that Ye Yuan's fourth form had only reached the minor achievement level.

While his own five-method manifestation had reached perfection!

That meant Ye Yuan had essentially defeated him across levels.

His pride was utterly crushed at this moment.

Three months ago, Ye Yuan was a weakling who couldn't last twenty moves against him.

Three months later, Ye Yuan had completely surpassed him.

At the Jade Emperor Heaven realm, he was no longer a match for Ye Yuan!

Purple Sun and Tianlu looked at each other, stunned beyond words.

This also meant that once Ye Yuan reached the Great Perfection of Jade Emperor Heaven, his combat power would be no less than theirs!
