Chapter 425 Spatial Madness Makes a Move

When Yun Youzi challenged him to a duel, Lie Yuchen's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

Lie Yucheng was a figure from an era earlier than Yun Youzi, but unfortunately, his growth rate was not fast, so he was still serving as a general at the Huaxu Cliff Fortress. The Youfeng Rift Valley was a battlefield for prodigies to undergo trials, and it also served as the border between the Three Races Alliance and the Human Race, with battles erupting between the two sides daily.

"Hmph, your true core is shattered. Let's see how much power you have left." Lie Yuchen took a deep breath, and with a whoosh, flew into the air and disappeared.

Three hundred years ago, he wasn't yet a Demon Saint, but Yun Youzi had already reached the Pseudo-God realm. The Three Races Alliance feared that Yun Youzi would grow into their greatest threat, so they formed a coalition to decapitate him. The decapitation attempt failed because Yun Youzi's power exceeded their expectations; they only managed to shatter his true core. Human reinforcements arrived, forcing them to retreat. Unexpectedly, three hundred years later, Yun Youzi reappeared at Huaxu Cliff and challenged him to a battle.

Then, let's fight.

Zheng Qian landed in the air and flew to Li Zun and the others: "Let's go back to Dawn Fortress."

"What's there to be afraid of? With Senior Yun Youzi taking action, we're absolutely safe. They fight up there, and we'll continue blocking the door down below. If they dare to come out, the three of us working together will see our military merits skyrocket like water." Feng Yingte held his head high. He was very strong, and when he joined forces with Zheng Qian and Li Zun, they were stronger than strong, kings among kings, sweeping away everyone at the same level.

“If we stay here, it will distract my master and make him return to Dawn Fortress.” After saying this, Zheng Qian led the way and jumped off the Void Transformation Cliff. Yun Youzi’s attack was part of their plan. Now, what he needed to do was return to the Void Transformation Cliff so that Yun Youzi could kill Lie Yuchen without any worries.

Last night, Yun Youzi and Zheng Qian discussed how each realm requires meticulous refinement and targeted training during the growth process. Zheng Qian follows the path of swordsmanship and the path of space, while his domain is a soul technique, possessing the attribute of darkness, and also a darkness with the ability to devour.

Zheng Qian has multiple powerful cultivation paths, but he doesn't need to abandon any of them for now. He'll choose his main cultivation path when he reaches the Tongyu Realm and advances to Pseudo-God. However, to cultivate multiple paths simultaneously, he needs strong spiritual energy in his dantian to support him.

In order for his disciple to solidify his foundation, smoothly enter the Liquid Aperture Realm, and become the strongest invincible genius in the same realm, Yun Youzi decided to kill Lie Yuchen and take his demon core as the main ingredient for refining the Spirit Aperture Solidifying Pill.

The Spirit Aperture Solidifying Pill is currently the strongest pill available to humans for achieving a stable Liquid Aperture Realm and paving the way to legendary status. Even the most elite forces might not be able to refine even one or two pills a year, and it cannot be bought with spirit crystals; it is a rare and highly sought-after item.

Besides Lie Yucheng's demon core as the core, the materials needed to refine the Spirit Aperture Strengthening Pill also include four main ingredients: Thousand-Year-Old Frost Marrow, Purple Cloud Spirit Leaf, Dragon Saliva Pearl, and Nine-Turn Mystic Ginseng, as well as thirty-six auxiliary ingredients. Each material is a rare treasure, extremely difficult to obtain. For his disciple's path to invincibility, Yun Youzi ordered Feng Xingyun, Lei Zhenyue, Zhuge Jing, and Qin Yifeng, four of the Seventy-Two Qilin Disciples, to each prepare one type of ingredient. Only fresh materials can produce the best pill. The remaining auxiliary ingredients were prepared by Wuying.

Of the seventy-two Qilin disciples, only Xiao Zhi had ever given Zheng Qian a gift upon their first meeting. When they were preparing their own gift, Yun Youzi stopped them, wanting them to prepare a Spirit Aperture Strengthening Pill for Zheng Qian instead. Zheng Qian's extraordinary talent was undeniable, and everyone was willing to invest in such a prodigy, especially one as formidable as Zheng Qian, a disciple Yun Youzi had searched for three hundred years to find. They were happy to put aside their own affairs and help Zheng Qian find materials to refine the pill.

Above the vast and boundless sky, two figures streaked across like shooting stars, radiating dazzling light. One was Yun Youzi, whose brows revealed a transcendent calmness and untamed spirit, and who was hailed as a peerless genius, the Space Demon King; the other was Lie Yuchen, the Great General of the Flaming Leopard Clan, who also possessed the powerful strength of a second-tier Demon Saint, and whose might shook the four directions.

Yun Youzi, clad in flowing white robes, appeared like a celestial being descending to earth. He slowly raised his right hand, his palm seemingly distorting and vibrating with space—his unique technique, "Spatial Vibration." This technique allowed him to manipulate spatial power, neutralizing enemy attacks and unleashing terrifying energy in an instant, striking fear into the hearts of all. Lie Yuchen, on the other hand, wore fiery red armor, his eyes burning like flames, radiating boundless majesty and domineering aura. He roared, and a sea of ​​fire erupted in the void, transforming into a gigantic fiery leopard that pounced on Yun Youzi. The flames collided with the spatial power in mid-air, creating a deafening roar that seemed to tear the sky apart.

Zheng Qian returned to Dawn Barrier. He looked up at the sky, which was cloudless and a clear blue. Occasionally, he could see flames flickering in the distant space, but he could not see Yun Youzi or Lie Yuchen.

"I wonder if Master is in danger." Zheng Qian knew that Yun Youzi and Lie Yuchen were fighting, but he couldn't see it, which made him very worried.

"Watch closely, this is a battle at the pseudo-god level." Yun Youzi's voice boomed in Zheng Qian's ears, carrying an undeniable authority and shock. The space before him seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, with ripples spreading outwards, as if a corner of the mystery of the universe's depths had been revealed.

This scene was like an infinitely magnified telescope, not only instantly bringing the distant distance closer, but also giving Zheng Qian an unprecedented perspective. The scope was magnified to the extreme, and the movements were slowed down to the subtlest, allowing him to clearly witness every detail of the magnificent battlefield that spanned thousands of miles.

Clad in silver battle armor, Zhao Nuo resembled a war god emerging from ancient legends. His white cloak fluttered in the air, the embroidered characters for "Radiance" gleaming in the flames of war—a symbol of his glory and conviction. He wielded a massive scythe, its blade radiating an ominous yet powerful light, contrasting with the sharp scar on his left cheek that ran from his eye to the corner of his mouth, adding to his wild and untamed aura. At this moment, his face was filled with murderous intent as he hovered in the air, surrounded by a chilling aura of battle.

Beside Zhao Nuo stood Xiao Zhi, with his full head of gray hair and sharp eyes, and Ma Yi, gripping a sharp knife and exuding an imposing aura. The two stood side by side, their tacit understanding and trust needing no words; it was as if a single glance could unleash a power beyond limits.

The demon race experts opposite them were no ordinary opponents either. Each of the five demon experts exuded a chilling aura. Their forms varied—some were covered in scales, some rode on flames, and some possessed powerful tails—but without exception, their eyes burned with a thirst for victory and a fervent passion for battle. They stood ready, their bodies surrounded by shields formed from demonic energy, prepared to begin this pseudo-god-level duel concerning the honor of their races. They were experts from the Shadow Serpent Clan, the Flaming Leopard Clan, and the Yuren Clan, ready to support Lie Yuchen and wage war against the humans.

At this moment, the two of them stood in the void, the air thick with the smell of flames. Yun Youzi's lips curled slightly upward, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "Lie Yuchen, you dare to challenge me one-on-one with the strength of a second-level Demon Saint? Who gave you the courage?"

Lie Yuchen snorted coldly, his fists clenched, flames burning fiercely on them: "Your true core is shattered, how much combat power can you still exert? Today, I will send you to your death."

Before he finished speaking, Lie Yucheng's figure flashed, transforming into a fiery meteor that distorted the void as he pounced towards Yun Youzi. His speed was like lightning, arriving in front of Yun Youzi in an instant. However, Yun Youzi seemed to have anticipated his move, subtly twisting his body, as if space itself were shattering, easily dodging the attack.

Seeing this, Lie Yuchen was greatly alarmed, but he did not back down. Instead, he frantically activated the fire power within his body. With a wave of his hands, a huge fire storm condensed above his head and then slammed down on Yun Youzi.

Boom... The firestorm exploded, and the space within ten miles instantly burst into flames. Every wisp of flame could distort the space as it burned, and these flames continued to explode, destroying all life.

"Hmph, a mere trick!" Yun Youzi sneered, his figure twisting once more, appearing ten miles away from the flame storm just as it was about to strike him. At the same time, he clasped his hands together, and a powerful spatial force erupted from his palms, instantly tearing the flame storm into countless fragments.

"Void Shattering Fist!" Yun Youzi shouted, his right fist suddenly swung out, terrifying spatial power gathering on his fist. This punch shattered the void, turning all obstacles into nothingness.

Feeling the terrifying power of the punch, Lie Yucheng felt a sense of crisis rise in his heart. He dared not be careless and hurriedly activated the fire power in his body to form thick fire shields in an attempt to resist the attack.

However, the moment Yun Youzi's fist made contact with the flame shield, the shield was easily torn apart like paper. The force of the punch, undiminished, continued to blast towards Lie Yuchen.

Lie Yucheng felt an irresistible force surge from his fist, sending his body flying backward. He tumbled several times in the air before barely managing to regain his balance. His face turned deathly pale, clearly indicating he had suffered considerable injury.

"The spatial manipulation is indeed ruthless, living up to its reputation!" Lie Yuchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. He knew he could no longer hold back, otherwise he would surely be defeated by Yun Youzi today.

"Blazing Storm Fist!" Lie Yuchen roared, his entire body engulfed in flames, as if he wanted to burn everything around him to ashes. He threw out both fists at the same time, and two huge fiery fist shadows intertwined in the air to form a blazing net of fire, pressing down on Yun Youzi from all directions.

The temperature of Lie Yuchen's flames was several thousand degrees high. Even from hundreds of miles away, Zheng Qian's eyes were burned and stung, but he dared not blink, afraid of missing any part of the battle. A battle between pseudo-gods could easily affect more than ten miles; it was truly formidable.

"After Lao Diao's true core shattered, I never expected him to actually embark on the path of soul magic." Xiao Zhi was very excited. Although Yun Youzi's true core was shattered and he could no longer cultivate spiritual power, his powerful spatial soul magic was enough to instantly kill enemies of the same realm.

"The spatial manipulation is indeed worthy of its reputation." Zhao Nuo squinted. Three hundred years ago, Yun Youzi left Youfeng Rift Valley with his dying body. He never expected that three hundred years later, he would return alive and beat up Lie Yuchen, a second-level demon saint.

Lie Yucheng was a second-tier Demon Saint, the strongest member of the Three Races Alliance at Huaxu Cliff, and a sworn enemy of Zhao Nuo. They had fought more than ten times, neither able to gain the upper hand. If Yun Youzi could beat Lie Yucheng, then he could beat Zhao Nuo as well.

"It seems the Great General can't win." The Yu Ren clan expert looked worried. He could tell that Lie Yuchen was being suppressed and it was only a matter of time before he lost.

"Hmph, we'll attack together later. We have six demon saints on our side, while they only have three. If a real fight breaks out, we might even be able to kill one of them." The Shadow Serpent Clan's pupils narrowed, already prepared for a sneak attack.

"Alright, let's wait for the general to fight a little longer, then we'll all attack together." The Flame Leopard Clan's demon saint spat out a ball of flame; they were all ready to support Lie Yuchen and fight desperately with Yun Youzi and the other two.

On the battlefield, a hint of surprise flashed in Yun Youzi's eyes. He hadn't expected that Lie Yuchen could still unleash such powerful attacks after being injured. But surprise aside, he didn't back down; instead, he charged forward with even greater excitement.

"Teleport Strike!" Yun Youzi flashed, appearing behind Lie Yuchen just as the fire net was about to engulf him. He formed claws with his hands, and spatial power condensed at his fingertips, creating two sharp spatial blades that stabbed towards Lie Yuchen's back.

Lie Yuchen reacted extremely quickly, turning his body and merging into the flames to dodge the attack. But as soon as he turned around, he found that Yun Youzi's figure had disappeared again and reappeared on his other side.

"Such speed." Lie Yuchen was shocked. Yun Youzi completely ignored his attacks, as if he could predict his next move and had calculated every move he made, making it very difficult for him to fight.

"Void Prison Formation!" Yun Youzi shouted, his hands quickly forming hand seals. Instantly, the surrounding space began to distort and deform, forming a huge void prison that firmly trapped Lie Yuchen inside.

Lie Yuchen struggled desperately, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free of this void prison. He knew in his heart that he had been completely suppressed by Yun Youzi.

"Men, charge!" Lie Yuchen was terrified. He hurriedly shouted at the five demon saints, wanting them to support him and break Yun Youzi's void prison formation.

"Those five little demons can't save you. I've decided to take your demon core." Yun Youzi said calmly, as if he were doing something insignificant.

"Dimensional Transcendent Slash!" Yun Youzi's figure flashed again, this time appearing above Lie Yuchen's head. He gripped a longsword formed from spatial power with both hands and swung it down fiercely. A dazzling sword light instantly tore through the void, illuminating fifty miles, and slashed towards Lie Yuchen.

This sword strike contained all of Yun Youzi's power and will, as if it could cleave everything in its path in two. Lie Yuchen felt an irresistible aura of death rushing towards him, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, Lie Yucheng suddenly unleashed an unprecedented power. The flames around his body surged once more, as if to burn the entire void cage to ashes. At the same time, he waved his hands, and a massive fire shield appeared above his head, attempting to block the strike.

But all of this was in vain. Yun Youzi's sword had transcended the constraints of space, striking directly at Lie Yucheng's soul. Lie Yucheng's body trembled violently, and his soul dissipated into the void, revealing a massive corpse.

The five demon saints finally arrived behind Yun Youzi, their demonic power overwhelming. They couldn't believe that the powerful Lie Yuchen had been killed by Yun Youzi in just a few exchanges.

"Void Shattering Fist!" Yun Youzi threw another punch, shattering the void. The five demon saints were blasted away by the punch, and they didn't even have the ability to withstand a single punch, let alone save Lie Yuchen.

"Go." In the end, the five demon saints were defeated and fled, with only Lie Yuchen's corpse still floating in the void.

Zheng Qian was still overwhelmed with excitement: My master is so powerful!
