{unedited Chapter]
---
The Earth Emperor's body, whose proper name is Shu Ren, released a gray mist. It enveloped everything in its path and froze it at a fundamental level. Wang Wei's body moved out of the way, but the fog followed him like maggots chasing after expired meat.
After realizing he could not escape, Wang Wei gathered the most abundant yang energy in his body and blew up, releasing a fiery fog to counter the enemy. His approach worked, but Shu Ren calmly released a black fog and molded it into a towering hand.
Boom!
The attack was too fast, and Wang Wei was sent flying. His two arms had turned into popsicles, and his soul heard owls of despair. Wang Wei remained calm and removed the enemy's shoddy application of a Dao Will Artifact. His arm regenerated, and his soul was intact.
[Extreme Yin Spear]
Shu Ren waved his hand to condense a black spear. He threw it with unparalleled force, making Wang Wei's face turn ugly. He punched the spear, but his body took dozens of steps into the void. He looked intact, but anyone with discerning eyes could see the freezing signs on his arms and upper torso.
Shu Ren's brow furrowed as he summoned hundreds of these black spears. They rushed toward their opponent, blocking the sky like they were raining.
[Extreme Yang Body]
Wang Wei's body turned into an elemental-like fire creature as he desperately combatted this rain of spears. The flame helped him with the freezing aspect of the attack, but the spears were too fast, and there were too many.
Additionally, he discovered that his speed was drastically decreasing with each passing second, meaning the longer this attack lasted, the slower he became and the more injuries he received. The raining spear ended, and Wang Wei looked like Swiss cheese. However, despite his situation, his eyes remained calm and focused.
He suddenly teleported in front of Shu Ren and kicked him. However, the ruler of the Great Chu Divine Dynasty was calm — almost too calm. His Dao was Extreme Yin, and he could separate it into Extreme and Yin Dao. He activated his Extreme Shield, easily blocking that kick.
Then, with a thought, all the spears in Wang Wei's body exploded, sending his mutilated body flying thousands of light years away. Shu Ren activated [Extreme Speed] and rushed over, trying to annihilate the body in one fell swoop.
Shu Ren's hands suddenly condensed a terrifying amount of Death Qi, turning his palm into a Death Claw. Then, he headed directly for the immobile Wang Wei's head.
[Yin-Yang Reversal]
As soon as the attack reached him, Wang Wei activated his Yin-Yang Dao, reversing the damage to his opponent. His actions were unexpected and swift, but not with the best effort. Shu Ren might have fallen for this trick if it had been before, but his time at the frontier awakened his instinct as a warrior.
[Extreme Defense] [Extreme Regeneration]
Shu Ren tanked Wang Wei's counterattack, but he also did not stop attacking. Most of the Death Qi from his claw dissipated, but the force of the claw still hit Wang Wei's body, sending him flying through the void.
Shu Ren looked at his palm before looking at Wang Wei; "You're so weak. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be so weak." He did not let his current advantage overwhelm his senses. The frontier taught him the price of underestimating any enemy.
"What's it to you whether I'm weak or not," Wang Wei replied calmly. The good news for him was that Shu Ren's application of Dao Will was indeed terrible, and with his pseudo-Will Immortality, his body soon recovered after giving him time to breathe.
"You're injured," Shu Ren announced. "It should have been the work of the lock. That's why your performance is so terrible. It's probably why you even considered working with me in the first place."
