Using the power of the Heavenly Way to defeat a strong enemy was the Heaven City Lord's method. This was indeed an extreme method.
Ordinary Heavenly Venerables could also draw upon or even change the power of the nomological laws for their own use. However, they could only use a portion of the nomological laws. No one could use all the nomological laws.
Only the Heavenly Way could do so. This was because the Heavenly Way was a collection of everything. It was a combination of all rules and nomological laws.
Therefore, the will of the Heavenly Way was also terrifying!
It could directly descend with its will and kill all strong enemies.
The Heaven City Lord's lips curled into a smile as he said, "You were wrong to ask me to do my best. I once used this move to kill a peak Heavenly Venerate!"
This was his method. He had absolute confidence that he was the only one in the world.
No one could go against the heavens and earth. When he moved, he would feel as if the heavens and earth were going against him. Even a Heavenly Venerate couldn't withstand this terrifying pressure.
This will couldn't be seen, but everyone could feel it.
They could feel how terrifying the descending will was from the Heavenly Venerate Main Hall.
"Bang!"
The golden radiance emitted from Ye Xiwen's body suddenly shattered. There was no reason for it to shatter like this. No attack could be seen.
Even if the heavens wanted to kill you, you would always reveal all sorts of flaws. These flaws were enough to kill you.
Boom!
A terrifying power surged from Ye Xiwen's body. All sorts of divine marks and nomological laws danced around. These were the martial arts nomological laws that Ye Xiwen cultivated. However, everyone was shocked to find that the divine marks, nomological laws, and nomological laws had all turned into chains that locked Ye Xiwen up. They simply wouldn't listen to his commands.
"All your comprehension comes from the Heavenly Way. You think that you control everything, but in fact, the Heavenly Way is the true ruler. It's fine if you don't use your dao, but once you use it, it will be stripped away by the Heavenly Way. Geniuses are the most formidable and respectable rulers. You people keep saying that you are going against the heavens, but in fact, you are all walking the wrong path!"
The Heaven City Lord said. The Heavenly Venerates had a pensive look on their faces. The Heaven City Lord's words had even shaken their dao hearts. Indeed, whether it was the nomological laws they comprehended or the power they absorbed from the world, they all originated from the Heavenly Way.
They claimed to be going against the heavens, but were they really going against the heavens?
Wasn't everything still in the hands of the Heavenly Dao?
Many people suddenly felt a great terror, because they felt as if a huge cage had appeared in front of them. This cage was so terrifying that they felt that it was impossible to break out.
In the end, everything was still in the hands of the Heavenly Dao. Without the Heavenly Dao, they were nothing. Even though Empyreans like them were known to surpass the rules and could directly modify the rules, they were ultimately still beneath the Heavenly Dao.
To them, this was a kind of confinement, a restraint on their souls!
If one were to say that they didn't pay much attention to it initially, then the words of the Heaven City's City Lord were like a wake-up call to them.
"Is there really no way to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao?"
"We've been defying the heavens for our entire lives. What a joke!"
"The Heavenly Dao is the foundation of everything. We are also born under the Heavenly Dao. Now, you actually say that you want to go against the Heavens. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Many people's dao hearts were actually shaken. This was the most terrifying thing. For an Empyrean, having their dao hearts shaken was even more terrifying than being heavily injured eight or ten times.
Once their dao hearts were shaken and they couldn't progress any further, it would be a small matter. The most terrifying thing was that their cultivation might rapidly regress overnight.
This was originally impossible for Empyreans like them. Their mental cultivation had long reached the point where they could never retreat. They had never doubted the Heavenly Dao that they had adhered to.
In other words, these people were a group of paranoid maniacs. Now, the words of the Heaven City's City Lord had shaken these people.
Ye Xiwen was facing the crushing pressure of the heavenly law at this time. All kinds of dreadful attacks emerged on the surface of his body. Fire, water, lightning, all kinds of imaginable and unimaginable attacks emerged on his body.
Any Empyrean who could cultivate one of these attacks to the extreme would be regarded as an expert of a generation. Moreover, so many attacks appeared at the same time. How terrifying was this attack?
This was the terrifying thing about the Heaven City's City Lord!
Then, everyone saw the light of the Magical Law flying out from Ye Xiwen's body. This was the Magical Law being stripped out of his body by the Heavenly Dao.
All of this originated from the Heavenly Dao. Now, the Heavenly Dao was going to strip everything out.
This was something that no Empyrean could resist. The Heaven City's City Lord had relied on this move to kill a peak Empyrean expert.
Ye Xiwen looked at the Heaven City's City Lord. There was no expression on his face. He was just a little surprised. The Heaven City's City Lord had relied on this move to be on par with Middle Heavenly Venerables in terms of power. It was indeed very impressive.
The nomological laws and Heavenly Dao in his body were being stripped away, but he wasn't anxious. Instead, he said, "Heaven City's City Lord, I remember that when you fought with Middle Heavenly Venerables, you didn't have this kind of strength. Did you break through again during this time?"
"That's right. After countless years, I have finally reached this step. I am only one step away from becoming a half-step ruler!"
The Heaven City's City Lord didn't deny it. He said, "As you said, since I have the ability, I should not pass on this responsibility. Since Middle Heavenly Venerables no longer have the ability to lead the Fortune God Dynasty to defeat the foreign enemies, then I should let someone with the ability take over. I think I am qualified to do so!"
The Heaven City's City Lord also did not pass on this responsibility. He was very confident.
"You shouldn't have let me use it. Of course, you didn't let me use it. In fact, you can't stop it. If you admit defeat now, I will let you go. You are also very strong. When we fight against the Ancient era, you should play an important role!"
The Heaven City's City Lord looked at Ye Xiwen and said seriously.
"Heaven City's City Lord, I think you are a little too confident!" Ye Xiwen said, "You want to make arrangements now?"
As he said this, everyone was shocked to find that Ye Xiwen, who was gradually being stripped of his Heavenly Dao, suddenly stopped. In his body, the Heavenly Dao that was being stripped away bit by bit was flowing back.
"Although the source of all this is the Heavenly Dao, since it has become mine, it is mine. No one can take it away!" Ye Xiwen said, "City Lord of Heaven City, I am different from you. Everything I have, I have cultivated bit by bit, comprehended bit by bit, without the slightest bit of trickery. It is impossible for anyone to deprive me of my Dao!"
Ye Xiwen's expression didn't show the slightest bit of frustration. Instead, he seemed to have gained a lot. Just now, when the Great Way left his body, he seemed to have entered a whole new realm.
He finally understood why he couldn't break through to the half-step Sovereign Realm no matter how hard he tried. He could only faintly touch this realm.
Although half-step Sovereign Realm experts weren't in the Sovereign Realm, they were at least half a step into that realm.
However, in order to truly enter the realm of a half-step ruler, he had to break away from the current system. Whether it was his strength or his comprehension, they all came from the heavenly dao. Therefore, he was trapped in the cage of the heavenly dao.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't feel it. It was still too far away for them. However, Ye Xiwen was a top-notch expert, and he had already touched that layer of ceiling.
Only great destruction can lead to great establishment!
Only by breaking away from the restraints of the Martial Epoch's heavenly dao could he break through to the legendary half-step Sovereign Realm.
Of course, half-step Sovereigns didn't completely break away from the heavenly dao. Therefore, they would die with the epoch. The epoch made them strong, but at the same time, it also restricted them.
Those half-step Sovereigns who gradually aged could only wait for death because they couldn't break away from the restraints of the heavenly dao. This was an extremely terrifying situation.
The reason why they wanted to destroy the Martial Epoch was to obtain a powerful force from the Martial Epoch that could help them break away from the heavenly dao.
The Ancient Epoch's heavenly dao might not seem like much, and it could even continuously give birth to new lifeforms and experts. However, only when one reached that stage would one understand that the entire Ancient Epoch's heavenly dao contained a kind of Death Qi. It was invisible and untouchable. The power of death pulled them towards death.
This power of death grew stronger and stronger, to the point that even half-step Sovereigns couldn't resist it. At that time, half-step Sovereigns would fall.
The power of death existed invisibly, and there was nothing they could do to resist it. It was like how ordinary living beings, after vindicating their Dao and becoming gods, would understand the true meaning of death. Only then would they be able to escape death and live as long as heaven and earth.
It was the same for these half-step Sovereigns. To resist this power of death, unless they could break through to the Sovereign Realm, it was only a matter of time before they died.
Only great destruction could lead to great establishment. Only now did Ye Xiwen understand this principle!
In other words, he finally found the path to becoming a half-step Sovereign.
Although it sounded simple, in reality, it trapped most peak Heavenly Venerates. Even if they understood what to do, only a few could do it, as it was too difficult.
In an epoch, many peak Heavenly Venerates were born, and many people touched that realm. However, the number of people who truly became half-step Sovereigns could be counted on one hand.
The difficulty was easy to imagine.
"You've made me understand many things. This battle should end here!"
