The Divine Dragon Empress moved with astonishing speed—so fast it was almost startling. Before the Supreme Realm experts of Yemotian could even react, she had already broken through their encirclement and, in the same motion, slain their Supreme Realm warriors.
Such speed left the Yemotian Supreme Realm experts utterly baffled.
They had heard before that the Divine Dragon Empress was relatively quick, but they had never actually crossed swords with her directly. Because of that, they had no idea just how fast “relatively quick” really was.
But now that they had engaged her in battle, they understood immediately—this “relatively quick” was nothing short of terrifyingly fast.
Some of them even began to suspect that the Divine Dragon Empress had mastered the Law of Speed.
And to be fair, their suspicion was spot on.
Although they couldn’t see it clearly themselves, their Invincible Supreme Realm experts could.
What the Divine Dragon Empress was displaying was, without a doubt, the Law of Speed.
This revelation shocked Yemotian’s Invincible Supremes.
“Sure enough, she has mastered a law—and the Law of Speed at that. It’s absolutely incredible!”
“Indeed! With that kind of speed, trying to fight her head-on means it’ll be nearly impossible to pin her down.”
“I can already tell—if she were to fight me, she could easily dodge my attacks. Even if I used my Law of Poison, I’m not sure I could keep her in place.”
Hearing this, the two Yemotian Invincible Supremes fell into deep thought.
The Divine Dragon Empress’s incredible speed was something they had not anticipated, and it had indeed created a massive headache for them.
If things continued this way, there was no way they could hold her down. Even if they gained the upper hand in battle, she could simply rely on her Law of Speed to make a swift escape.
So, the people of the Yemotian Universe had to come up with a plan to trap the Divine Dragon Empress.
With that thought in mind, their gazes quickly turned toward Ye Wushuang.
The Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang had come out together. Perhaps they couldn’t catch the Empress, but they might be able to capture Ye Wushuang instead.
They refused to believe that Ye Wushuang had also mastered the Law of Speed.
And once they had Ye Wushuang in their grasp, using him as a hostage, the Divine Dragon Empress would naturally have to tread carefully.
With that plan in mind, the Yemotian Invincible Supremes exchanged a glance.
Then, the two of them shot straight toward Ye Wushuang.
The Divine Dragon Empress had yet to notice their movements. In fact, she hadn’t even realized that two Invincible Supremes were lurking nearby.
But she hadn’t noticed—Ye Wushuang had.
He detected them the moment the two Yemotian Invincible Supremes began moving rapidly in their direction.
And as it happened, Ye Wushuang had just finished absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation Liquid, so he now had his hands free.
Because of that, he didn’t budge an inch. He simply stood there, staring directly at the Yemotian Invincible Supremes with an unblinking gaze.
That direct, fixed stare caught the Yemotian Invincible Supremes off guard.
After all, they hadn’t revealed themselves yet. Under those circumstances, even the Divine Dragon Empress hadn’t detected them—there was no way Ye Wushuang should have been able to.
But the way his eyes were locked onto them made it clear: he had indeed spotted them.
This realization made it hard for them to stay hidden any longer.
“You… can see us?”
One of the Yemotian Invincible Supremes couldn’t help but blurt out. Even he hadn’t expected to voluntarily expose himself just to ask a young man a question.
But he could also sense that Ye Wushuang was far from ordinary.
Though he looked young, his cultivation had already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm. Give him a bit more time, and he was bound to grow into a truly terrifying existence.
In fact, even now, his strength was already considerable—after all, the one who had just undergone the tribulation seemed to be this very young man.
Hearing the question, Ye Wushuang showed not a trace of panic. He replied bluntly:
“I can see you.”
Hearing that Ye Wushuang truly could see them, the Yemotian Invincible Supremes were momentarily stunned.
Then, they stopped hiding and revealed themselves fully.
“Very well. Since you can see us, there’s no point in staying concealed.”
“You… come with us.”
Because the Yemotian Universe didn’t know the specifics of the tribulation that had just taken place, they had no real understanding of just how powerful Ye Wushuang was.
And that lack of understanding led them to underestimate him.
Now that they’d laid eyes on him, their only thought was to take him away and use him as leverage against the Divine Dragon Empress.
After all, her Law of Speed was simply too overwhelming—she had already killed two of their Supreme Realm experts. If this trend continued, their remaining Supremes would likely suffer heavy losses.
That made capturing Ye Wushuang an urgent necessity.
Ye Wushuang wasn’t fully aware of their plans. But when he saw two Invincible Supremes making a move against him, he certainly wasn’t about to just surrender.
And so, he activated the Jie Character Secret, causing his aura to surge dramatically as his cultivation rose to the Supreme Realm.
At the same time, a divine sword coalesced in his hand.
This sight made the Yemotian Invincible Supremes frown.
They noticed that Ye Wushuang’s current state looked remarkably similar to the Divine Dragon Empress’s. His aura had suddenly spiked, and like her, he had manifested a sword in his hand.
The only real difference was that Ye Wushuang’s aura seemed even more formidable.
This was completely unexpected for the people of the Yemotian Universe.
“How did his strength also jump to the Supreme Realm? Could it be that the Divine Dragon Empire has some kind of secret technique for temporarily boosting one’s power?”
“Looks like it. But boosting a Supreme Realm expert is one thing—what we’re really afraid of is that he might also have mastered the Law of Speed.”
“Impossible. The Law of Speed—how could it be so easily grasped? Even if he has elevated his strength, he’s still just a Supreme Realm expert at best. Someone like that can be dealt with easily.”
Although Ye Wushuang’s sudden power boost had startled the Yemotian Universe team, their Invincible Supremes refused to believe that he, too, had mastered a law.
So even after he raised his cultivation to the Supreme Realm level, the Yemotian Invincible Supremes still charged straight at him.
One of the Invincible Supremes simply extended a single hand toward Ye Wushuang, intending to capture him with nothing more than that one hand—an Invincible Supreme could indeed take down an ordinary Supreme Realm expert with just a palm.
But Ye Wushuang’s strength was far from ordinary.
