Even the invincible supreme beings of Yemo Tian could catch a glimpse of what was happening inside the heavenly tribulation.
But after seeing it, they all fell silent.
They never imagined that such a terrifying battle could be taking place within the heavenly tribulation itself. Just the sword light alone was enough to make the experts of Yemo Tian feel utterly outmatched.
Not to mention the other auras of combat mixed in there.
With just one look, the people of Yemo Tian understood—this was not a fight they could easily meddle in. If they were caught up in it, chances were they wouldn’t make it back.
Thinking of this, the invincible supreme beings of Yemo Tian were quiet for a while.
Then, one of them finally spoke.
“Judging by that sword light, it must be the Divine Dragon Empress undergoing her tribulation!”
“Indeed. I’ve heard she has comprehended the laws of the sword. Probably only she could unleash such terrifying power!”
“Thank goodness she’s in the middle of her tribulation. If she weren’t, and we’d charged straight at her, it’s hard to say who would’ve come out on top!”
“Exactly!”
At this moment, the supreme beings of Yemo Tian felt a bit relieved.
They were grateful they hadn’t rushed headlong into battle—otherwise, they’d be in serious trouble.
As for their relief, Ye Wushuang had no idea.
But at this moment, he was indeed wielding multiple laws at once.
He wasn’t just using the Jie Word Secret and the Law of Suppression, along with the Sword Law—he had also activated the Lie Word Secret.
High above the nine heavens, Ye Wushuang flickered in and out of existence, his form shifting constantly.
Yet even so, Erlang Shen could always track him down.
Before that third divine eye of his, Ye Wushuang’s traces could not remain hidden.
So Erlang Shen was always able to block his attacks, which gave Ye Wushuang no small amount of trouble.
He kept attacking Erlang Shen, but still couldn’t break through.
At the same time, his stamina and mana were draining rapidly.
If this continued, his mana would run out before he could take down Erlang Shen.
And once his mana was depleted, Marshal Tianpeng and Nezha would be free to act.
That was when Ye Wushuang would truly be in danger.
Because of this, Ye Wushuang suddenly withdrew his sword and changed his approach.
When he charged at Erlang Shen, he no longer used the Sword Law.
Instead, he used the Law of Force.
As he threw a punch at Erlang Shen, he let out a thunderous roar:
“One force breaks all laws!”
The moment his shout rang out, it felt as though the entire world stood opposed to him.
And against that opposition, he threw a single punch.
That punch included Erlang Shen as well, and it made his expression shift drastically.
Under that fist, Erlang Shen sensed a very familiar aura.
At the same time, he realized that defending against this punch would be extremely difficult.
So without any hesitation, his third eye shot out a divine beam straight at Ye Wushuang.
—BOOM!!
The collision made the entire world tremble with the feeling of war.
If their battle hadn’t been contained high above the nine heavens, they might have destroyed the whole world.
After that one punch, Erlang Shen couldn’t help but stagger back more than ten steps.
His eyes were filled with shock.
“This is… the Law of Force?”
“Oh? You recognize it, True Lord?”
“Recognize it? I’m exceptionally familiar with it!”
“I see. Given your fighting style, True Lord, you could totally walk the path of ‘one force breaking all laws’ as well!”
Because Ye Wushuang was very familiar with Erlang Shen’s history, he also understood clearly what paths he could take.
And when he said that, it instantly caught Erlang Shen’s attention.
In truth, Erlang Shen had heard of the Great Dao of Force before. He also knew that the legendary Pangu had walked that very path.
But aside from Pangu, no one had ever successfully completed it.
In fact, others couldn’t even find the door to it.
So he was extremely curious about Ye Wushuang’s cultivation of the Dao of Force.
“Could it be that on your side of the world, cultivating the Dao of Force is easier? Why is it that here in our Heavenly Court, no one has ever succeeded?”
“I don’t know about that. All I know is that if you accumulate enough, the Law of Force will come to you naturally.”
“Actually, not too long ago, I even deliberately went through a re-cultivation.”
“Re-cultivation?”
Hearing that, Erlang Shen froze.
And in his heart, a restless idea began to stir.
He suddenly felt that maybe he needed to re-cultivate too.
But the moment that thought surfaced, he quickly suppressed it.
With his current level of power, re-cultivating would have enormous consequences.
So unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t make such a decision.
Ye Wushuang had no idea what Erlang Shen was thinking.
But after he said those words, Erlang Shen suddenly stopped attacking him.
After a moment of silence, Erlang Shen spoke to Ye Wushuang:
“Release them from their restraints. Let’s just call this heavenly tribulation off.”
As Yang Jian said this, his hand was still trembling slightly.
But he hid it well enough that it wasn’t easy to notice.
“Call it off?”
Hearing the words “call it off,” Ye Wushuang was completely baffled.
He never imagined there could be such a thing as “calling off” a heavenly tribulation.
But judging by Erlang Shen’s expression, he was clearly serious.
So Ye Wushuang hesitated for a moment, then said:
“Alright then.”
As soon as he said that, he instantly released the restraints on Marshal Tianpeng and Nezha.
And once their bindings were gone, neither of them charged at him or attacked.
Though they had been restrained, they were still aware of everything that had happened while they were trapped.
So they knew very well that Ye Wushuang’s strength was no joke.
Just the Law of Restraint alone, never mind the Sword Law, was already more than they could handle.
Not to mention that Ye Wushuang had also comprehended the Law of Force—to Marshal Tianpeng and Nezha, that was practically an overwhelming advantage.
They had no desire to test its power for themselves. The fact that Ye Wushuang had fought Erlang Shen for so long already said everything.
So once Erlang Shen decided to leave, they didn’t hesitate either. They too chose to withdraw.
Then, the three of them vanished from the South Heavenly Gate.
And after they disappeared, the heavenly tribulation slowly began to fade.
But even as it dissipated, Ye Wushuang still managed to squeeze a little something out of it.
He slipped into the tribulation’s pool and enjoyed the heavenly tribulation liquid within.
That liquid could rapidly enhance his strength, stabilize his cultivation, and even elevate his bloodline power.
For him, the tribulation liquid was nothing but pure benefit.
