1156 Long Awaited Rematch

"So what if you have Primordial Law? This is not Primordial Chaos." Although Yang Chen was surprised that the latter acquired something like Primordial Chaos with just a body refining technique, it would not change anything. Without the boost from Primordial Chaos, Primordial Laws are weaker than Grand Dao Source and Heaven Law, only slightly better than Innate Laws.

'This idiot doesn't know anything. In such an environment, I can use my Grand Dao Source to limit the strength of his Primordial Law.' Yang Chen immediately acted on this plan as a river full of chains composed of runes materialized behind him.

As soon as the Grand Dao Source materialized and its aura targeted him, Wang Chang felt his law working slower, more sluggishly. However, he did not panic and even sneered. Small black lightning flashed on his eyes as he activated his Will Manifestation and fused it with his Primordial Law, giving it the boost it needed instead of Primordial Chaos.

'Damn it, he can do that?' Yang Chen had read some of the temple's records and knew body refiners with Primordial Law could use this technique. Although it could not compare to the boost from the will of Primordial Chaos, it was better than nothing. More importantly, it was not an outside force, thus easier to use.

[Overlord's Authority: Sound]

Wang Chang clapped his hand to release a powerful soundwave with devastating effects. And with domination over the Dao or concept of sound, Wang Chang's attack reached beyond the speed of sound, light, and beyond. Yang Chen's face changed as he reacted; he turned his body into the fire element, so the vibration from the clap passed through him unscathed.

Wang Chang responded by opening his mouth to roar - [Fiendgod Roar]. The vibration from this throat contained a potent will full of power, nobility, and the desire to destroy and dominate anything in its way. Yang Chen knew this attack would disperse his flaming body while targeting his soul. So, he countered with a sonic attack of his own.

[Voice of Flame]

The voice of flame is one of power, anger, wrath, rampage, and destruction. The two potent vibrations clashed, generating enough force and energy that a few mountains flew away like papers blown by the wind. If not for the reinforcement of the seal, the space would have cracked during this clash.

The two stepped back after the clash abated, but Yang Chen's face was slightly pale. 'His techniques are way more refined than mine.' Although he did not want to admit it, this clash proved as such.

[Overlord's Authority: Flame] A dark- purple flame enveloped Wang Chang's bare torso. The flame seemed to fit perfectly with his aura.

"Are you trying to humiliate me?" Yang Chen asked with gritted teeth.

"What do you think?" Wang Chang sneered. "I've prepared this Fiendgod Flame especially for you." He rushed toward his opponent, his eyes full of determination to injure his opponent at least once using his own Dao.

"Damn you, Wang Chang," Yang Chen yelled as he attacked with his unique [Spiritual Flame] that ignores all obstacles and directly attacks the soul to burn it. Wang Chang watched with squinted eyes as his purple flame passed through his opponent's flame as if the latter had entered an intangible state.

'He mixed the power of unreal and real from Illusion Dao into his flame,' Wang Chang swiftly analyzed. So, he immediately activated the attribute of his Fiendgod Flame: Dominance - especially toward other flames. Yang Chen immediately felt he had lost control over his flame, which was the greatest insult to any cultivator. Who would accept losing in a field they major in to someone who can only dabble in using law resonance?

Yang Chen swiftly pushed his control of Flame Dao to the limit, but that was not enough, so he added a bit of his Illusion Dao to reduce the effect of the domination. By the time he finished, Wang Chang was already before him, and he punched him with a fist of purple flame. Yang Chen was about to move his head to evade when a terrifying gravitational force or power of suppression weighed on his body and rendered him immobile.

Wang Chang's fist first burned half of his face with the purple flame before caving his skull with the sheer force behind that punch. Yang Chen's stomach suddenly released a powerful fiery beam, pushing Wang Chang a few dozen kilometers.

'His battle experience is not as bad as I anticipated.' Yang Chen was never the kind of person with a high Battle IQ, as he preferred to win with schemes or while hidden in the shadows. Meanwhile, Wang Chang had spent too much time training in the Dream World. However, it seems Yang Chen has been making up for his mistakes since his ascension.

A magic circle with a five-pointed star appeared before Yang Chen. Each point of the star contained a color associated with the Five Elements. The green wood lit up, releasing a potent life energy that rapidly healed his injury.

'The fight just started, and I'm already forced to use my Source Technique.' This Five Element Source Technique was one of his three greatest trump cards. He spent much effort to get his hands on it, and only recently did he succeed. Sadly, before he could even master it, his unfilial son contacted him under false pretenses before capturing him.

Yang Cheng's face healed, but somehow, he could still feel the burning face where the injury used to be. More importantly, his pride was utterly destroyed with that one punch.

'I need to calm down and kill this bastard. No one will know of my humiliation by then,' Yang Chen thought. 'Then, I'll only need to get rid of that unfilial son.' Although he felt it was a shame to kill that bastard since he planned to turn him into his ultimate weapon, he could still try again.

He activated his Source Technique, allowing him to access the other four Daos by converting his Flame Dao into any other four. The first step was using a combination of Earth and Metal Dao to forge full body armor to protect himself. Yang Chen had recognized the vast disparity between his flesh and his opponent.

Yang Chen felt more secure as he downed this yellow and white armor. The next step was to be cautious and lure him into a trap.

Bang! Before Yang Chen could react, a terrifying force hit his armor, leaving cracking marks as his body crashed into the ocean. 'He became faster? How is that possible?' Meanwhile, Wang Chang - who had used his version of Xu Shi's Obsession Source Technique - appeared in this ocean and dominated the water to strangle his opponent.

Yang Chen reacted swiftly by using Water Dao to block the first wave of attack before burning the entire ocean instantly. However, what awaited Yang Chen after this somewhat quick response was Wang Chang's [Water Sovereign Fist]. This fist contained the power of a ruler and the counter to his element - water.

Yang Cheng barely escaped with an Earth Escape Technique, which allowed him to disperse his body and reform from the nearby terrain.

'Damn it, his battle experience is too high. Was he ever that talented?' Wang Chang was reading his moves like it was a booklet, predicting his actions seconds in advance.

'I've trained my battle experience from the temple's fragment. Could he have done the same in the Dao Opening Sect?' He was instantly jealous since he could only exchange use for 100,000 years. Meanwhile, Wang Chang probably had the power to use it as much as he pleased.

'At the pace of this fight, I will never have a chance to make my move and be victorious.' Their strength was relative, but the opponent's terrifying battle experience and IQ allowed him to utilize his powers to their full extent and even beyond.

As Yang Chen watched his opponent rush over like a hungry dog, he immediately encased himself in an orb of earth and metal elements. He knew such defensive measures would only buy him a few seconds, but that's all he needed to strategize.

'I need to stay calm and think logically: what would she do in this situation?' Yang Chen thought. His eyes squinted as something popped in his mind:

'Anticipate your opponent's move; if that move is predictable, do it while knowing the opponent will be ready. Put a small twist to it, and it will still be an effective strategy.'

Boom!

Wang Chang's fist punched through the earth's layer, but Yang Chen already used Water Escape to appear in a river a few kilometers away. He immediately used an ultimate attack as soon as he was out of range.

[Five Element Ultimate Flame]

The five-point star appeared before him and immediately started gathering all four elements in the environment to turn into a boosting power for the flame element. Then, a red beam rushed toward Wang Chang, leaving small spatial cracks in its way.

Yang Chen observed closely and his eyes suddenly lit, 'Here's my chance.'
