"Qingyun Road? There’s no rush."

Qin Yu wasn’t in a hurry to step onto the Qingyun Road. Given the numerous dangers within the Ni Yang Realm, he at least had to understand the full potential of his weapons. Naturally, this included understanding Yanxuan’s Ring.

"Skyfire Domain, Azure Smoke Domain, Double Gravity Domain... Let’s see the effects."

With a thought, Qin Yu first deployed the ’Skyfire Domain’. Around him, Heavenly Fire immediately spread, covering a sizable area. Centered around Qin Yu, a radius of nearly fifty meters was engulfed in Heavenly Fire.

"The power isn’t much different compared to the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring," Qin Yu judged internally. He then withdrew the Skyfire Domain and activated the ’Azure Smoke Domain’.

Fire, there was Heavenly Fire, Blue Swine Heavenly Fire. And for cold air, there was Green Smoke Cold Air and Xuanjin Cold Air.

The power of the Green Smoke Cold Air was comparable to that of the Heavenly Fire, only one was extremely hot and the other extremely cold.

Around Qin Yu, a vast expanse of blue suddenly appeared, its range nearly matching that of the Skyfire Domain.

"I remember Immortal Emperor Ni Yang once said that using the Skyfire Domain and Azure Smoke Domain together would be extremely powerful." Qin Yu pondered momentarily, and the principle became clear in his mind.

Extreme heat and extreme cold, the instantaneous change between these extremes, could cause even a lower-grade immortal sword to shatter instantly. The rapid alternation of extreme heat and cold would definitely provide a stronger attack than either the Skyfire Domain or the Azure Smoke Domain alone.

Qin Yu closed his eyes.

Several methods of deploying the Skyfire Domain and Azure Smoke Domain appeared in his mind.

In an instant, endless Heavenly Fire engulfed the area around Qin Yu, but in the blink of an eye, the fire completely disappeared, replaced by a vast spread of Green Smoke Cold Air. The extreme cold and heat caused dramatic vibrations in the air.

After a while...

The vast Green Smoke Cold Air and endless Purple Heavenly Fire appeared simultaneously, intersecting each other. But a closer look revealed that there was an extremely fine distance between each streak of Green Smoke Cold Air and Purple Heavenly Fire.

Naturally, the Green Smoke Cold Air and Purple Heavenly Fire could not touch each other; once they did, they would likely attack each other and waste energy.

"The control isn’t enough, the Green Smoke Cold Air and Heavenly Fire already touched more than ten times," Qin Yu opened his eyes, clearly not quite satisfied with his control ability. However, he was fairly pleased with the simultaneous attack method of Green Smoke Cold Air and Purple Heavenly Fire.

"I’m quite familiar with the Azure Smoke Domain and the Skyfire Domain. This Double Gravity Domain should have doubled the power, right?" Qin Yu thought to himself as he controlled Yanxuan’s Ring. Immediately, the Gravity Domain spread downward. As the controller of the Double Gravity Domain, Qin Yu couldn’t feel it himself.

But Qin Yu sensed the special energy of the Double Gravity Domain; he had a feeling... the energy of the Gravity Domain was indeed much stronger than before.

"I can understand the Skyfire Domain and Azure Smoke Domain, but I wonder how this Double Gravity Domain was created. The formation is incredibly intricate," Qin Yu, as the master, barely sensed the energy of the Gravity Domain.

Such energy was indeed very unusual.

Controlling gravity? Indeed, quite special.

"Whew, everything’s ready. I’ll challenge the Qingyun Road and see what remarkable things Qingyun Road really holds." Qin Yu took a deep breath and then stepped onto the Qingyun Road with a smile.

The vast Qingyun Road, leading straight to the Nine-layered Heaven. Under the endless expanse of Qingyun, Qin Yu’s figure vanished within.

×

Qingyun Road was actually a bridge similar to a Qingyu jade bridge. As Qin Yu walked on this bridge, he felt a profound oppressive force bearing down on him, obviously hindering his speed.

"The pressure isn’t that great. I estimate my speed is only about half of what it used to be," Qin Yu quickly assessed in his mind.

Qin Yu floated gracefully, continuously advancing toward the direction of the Nine-layered Heaven.

"Boy, halt."

A deep voice rang out, startling Qin Yu completely. "Could there actually be someone?"

A burly man appeared in front of Qin Yu, his face carrying a trace of disdain, thinking to himself, "I didn’t expect that even a little character who has just reached the Great Success Stage could enter the Ni Yang Realm. It’s really unsatisfactory for me to have to suppress my power to the Great Success Stage to fight you. If it weren’t constrained by the oath to Ni Yang, I really wouldn’t want to make a move; fighting with someone who isn’t even a Heavenly Immortal, my old brothers would indeed find it embarrassing."

As Qin Yu saw the burly man standing in front of him, he tried to dodge past him, but the burly man moved and continued to block Qin Yu’s path.

"Who are you? Why do you hinder me?" Qin Yu demanded.

At the same time, Qin Yu carefully observed the burly man before him.

The burly man had very thick eyebrows and bright, piercing eyes, and an aura of dominance naturally radiated from him, causing Qin Yu’s heart to tremble. "This guy must be stronger than Man Qian!"

Merely the aura he emitted sent tremors through Qin Yu’s mind, how could Qin Yu not be astonished?

Qin Yu even thought that he might not be able to win even if he used his Sword Immortal Puppet.

The burly man said with a light smile, "Who I am doesn’t concern you, at least not yet since you don’t qualify to know. Just remember... to pass this Qingyun Road, you must defeat me. Of course... even if you don’t defeat me, as long as you pass Qingyun Road, I’ll stop fighting automatically."

Qin Yu nodded, then replied with a light smile, "I’m aware of my own limitations. If I were to fight with you, Sir, I guess there would be no hope."

Qin Yu didn’t want to use his Sword Immortal Puppet just yet.

"Don’t worry, boy. I’ll only suppress my power to the Great Success Stage. Although my power will be suppressed to the Great Success Stage, my experience and techniques are beyond your imagination," the burly man said confidently.

Qin Yu pondered for a moment before asking, "What about those few people who passed through Qingyun Road just now? From what I see, those people shouldn’t be better than you, Sir. Are they less experienced and skilled than you?"

The burly man frowned upon hearing this.

"Those people, although their power is decent, how could they be my opponents. When dealing with those fellows, I suppressed my power to the same level as theirs, about the level of a First Level Demon King. It’s indeed a bit difficult to break their Top-Grade Demon Armor with the strength of a First Level Demon King," the burly man said helplessly.

Qin Yu now understood.

So it turned out that Du Zhongjun, Fang Tian, and others all passed by relying on the defense of their Top-Grade Immortal (Demon) Armor.

"Those guys, the moment they saw me, tried to belittle me with their words, knowing I would suppress my power to their realm level. They each relied on their armor and fled at high speed. Even if I tried to stop them, they still managed to escape," the burly man said, a bit annoyed. "If it weren’t for the oath, I would have smashed their armors with one punch. How could I have allowed them to be so arrogant!"

Qin Yu was astonished.

To smash Top-Grade Immortal Armor with one punch? What a tremendous realm.

Of course, it also depends on who wears the Top-Grade Immortal Armor. When Du Zhongjun, Hua Yan, and others wore their Top-Grade Immortal Armor, their Immortal Essence Power (Demon Essence Power) flowed through it. Its defensive capability naturally couldn’t match up to that of a Profound Immortal (Demon Emperor) level expert wearing Top-Grade Immortal Armor.

"Alright, enough wasting time. I will suppress my power to the Great Success Stage. But let me tell you... my defense is something I can’t weaken; it’s naturally tough, so there’s nothing I can do about that," the burly man said with a helpless expression.

Qin Yu had a bitter smile in his heart.

Imagining the extent of defense of someone who dared to claim they could smash top-grade immortal armor with one punch was intimidating.

He estimated that even his top-grade immortal sword would not harm his opponent.

"Get ready, I’m about to make my move," the burly man grinned and then threw a simple, straightforward punch at Qin Yu.

This punch came directly at Qin Yu, and for some reason, he felt as if the space around him was locked in an instant, making it extremely difficult for him to move. This "simple" punch seemed impossible to dodge.

Although his strength was confined to the Great Success Stage, his experience with techniques and comprehension of the heavenly way far surpassed Qin Yu’s.

The burly man sighed inwardly, as the opponent was simply too weak.

However, the burly man suddenly felt a powerful gravitational force on his body, disrupting the delicate balance he had achieved. Qin Yu’s figure flashed, avoiding the punch.

"No matter how clever your techniques are, the more refined they are, the slightest mistake can greatly reduce their power. How can you maintain the finesse of your techniques under the suddenly appearing gravity domain?"

Qin Yu felt at ease in his heart.

A simple "double gravity domain" easily broke the technique.

"Haha, indeed, those who can enter the Ni Yang Realm, even little fellows at the Great Success Stage, should not be underestimated. Controlling gravity, you must have obtained the Yanxuan’s Ring," the burly man said with a laugh.

Qin Yu was taken aback.

Yanxuan’s Ring?

The man in front of him had instantly unveiled his secret.

However, Qin Yu soon came to terms with it, as the burly man, being a guardian of the Ni Yang Realm, definitely had some connection with the Immortal Emperor Ni Yang. It was not strange for him to know about the Yanxuan’s Ring.

"Yanxuan’s Ring, Ni Yang once refused even to lend it for a play, and now that he’s dead, he scattered all these treasures," the burly man mumbled. "Alright, let’s continue the battle, as long as you don’t step out of Qingyun Road, the battle won’t end."

If he did not step out of Qingyun Road, the battle would not end.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately hastened his travel.

"Senior, remember, you must contain your power within the Great Success Stage!" Qin Yu shouted while trying to escape.

The burly man’s face turned bitter, and he could only chase after him with a flickering figure.

Originally, with his strength, he could have easily caught up with Qin Yu, but since he was only allowed to use the strength of the Great Success Stage, his speed was naturally restricted. Even though the burly man’s movement technique was exquisite, allowing him to barely catch up with Qin Yu, whenever he got close to Qin Yu.

The double gravity domain also significantly slowed the burly man’s speed.

"Escaping like this is really quite simple," Qin Yu thought with relief. His double gravity domain had reached an astonishing level; once the burly man entered this domain, it was as if a mountain was pressing on him.

If the burly man used all his strength, such a gravity would be insignificant. However, he had to keep his promise, using only an equivalent amount of power. Bearing such gravity at the Great Success Stage and trying to catch up with Qin Yu was just wishful thinking.

After all, speed was where Qin Yu excelled.

At this moment, Qin Yu somewhat understood the challenges of Qingyun Road.

Every person who entered Qingyun Road faced this burly man as their enemy, who had to limit his cultivation to match the challenger’s strength. Yet, they would battle each other. Unless one passed through Qingyun Road, the fight would not end.

Despite equal cultivation, considering the burly man’s experienced moves,

True Master Ming Shan, even Dragon Clan Elder Yan Shan, and Kong Cao, among others, had all died.

Latterly, Yu Liang, turning most likely into a Sky-reaching Rat, survived by relying on its speed and agility. And being an Upper Level Divine Beast, the Sky-reaching Rat demonstrated extremely strong combat capabilities.

As for the latter six powerhouses, each was protected by Top-Grade Immortal Armor and was already an elite being. Success in passing was not an issue.

"To think passing through could be so simple, I can’t lose face like that," said the burly man as the glow on his fist flashed, revealing a golden fist wrap. "Although I’ve suppressed my strength to the Great Success Stage, there’s no restriction on weapons."

The burly man muttered to himself and then slowly struck three successive punches forward.

Although they appeared slow, in the blink of an eye, three visible golden fist shadows enveloped Qin Yu’s entire body. Before the fist shadows even touched him, Qin Yu already felt their immense pressure.

"Why is this brute going all out like this?" Qin Yu felt aggrieved.

At the same time, Qin Yu gritted his teeth, ignored the fist shadows, and dashed towards the end of Qingyun Road even faster.

"Suicide?" the burly man gasped slightly.

He knew the power of his move well, and he also knew that his opponent was a Great Success Stage expert. For such experts, the body is critically important. Once the body is damaged, one might only be able to be a Loose Cultivator.

Qin Yu’s body flickered continuously while the three golden fist shadows bombarded him consecutively.

"Such a resilient body, the body at the Great Success Stage is so tough, it’s unbelievable! What Cultivation Method is this?" The burly man finally witnessed the robustness of Qin Yu’s body, as his own weapon-generated three fist shadows only partially injured him, revealing how formidable Qin Yu’s body was.

What happened next, however, left the burly man stupefied.

The wounds Qin Yu received healed in the blink of an eye.

"Senior Xie, thank you for showing mercy." Qin Yu’s voice carried through as he had already rushed past Qingyun Road.

Relying on his astonishing Recovery Power, Qin Yu had bravely endured the attack of three Fist Shadows. Even though the attack was extremely fierce, because the burly man had only used the strength of the Great Success Stage, the attack power was limited. Qin Yu dared to withstand it firmly.

"Showing mercy?" The burly man’s expression froze momentarily, then he smiled, "This kid, obtaining both the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring and Bai Xuanjun’s Ring, is indeed fortunate. Initially, Ni Yang even told me to show mercy to anyone who possesses Yanxuan’s Ring, but this time I didn’t hold back."

The burly man heaved a sigh, "Hmm... there’s nobody left on Qingyun Road, my task is also completed! It’s been many years... Our old brothers should also be liberated now."

With that, the burly man’s figure moved and disappeared into thin air.

Instantaneous Movement?

Isn’t it impossible to use Instantaneous Movement within the Ni Yang Realm? But since no one witnessed this scene, naturally no one questioned it.
