Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 103 Comprehending the Essence of the Laws

Chapter 103 Comprehending the Essence of the Laws

Seeing the red-haired team member die so easily at the hands of the enemy, the others were struck dumb, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Ciel...is dead?!"

"How is this possible!"

"Merely planetary level"

"Calm down, everyone!" Clive roared, forcibly suppressing the panic of his team members: "Don't panic, everyone. The opponent has the Wind Domain, so his only advantage is speed. Xia's death was due to his own carelessness."

In fact, Clive was right.

If we take into account the force exerted, even if these team members are only at the fifth level of the Hengxing stage, their explosive power far exceeds that of Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's primary advantage lies in his speed. With the support of the Wind Domain, his burst speed is extremely high, and his movements are also incredibly agile.

Perhaps Chen Yuan is not as fast as these people in terms of peak flight speed, but if he were to sprint at a short distance, even Clive, a seventh-level star, would be slightly behind him.

The second advantage is the Azure Sky Sword.

This top-grade Tier 3 Force longsword, because of its perfect compatibility with Chen Yuan, can unleash its full power at any time in his hands.

Tearing through the defenses of the Tier 2 Force Armor was incredibly easy.

Therefore, although Chen Yuan's burst damage is inferior to his opponents, with Qingxiao's blessing, his actual attack power is still superior to these people.

"Watch out for their weapons."

"This sword is very strange. It can easily tear through a second-tier Force armor. It may be a fourth-tier or even fifth-tier Force weapon."

Clive also noticed the extraordinary nature of the longsword in Chen Yuan's hand and immediately reminded his team members.

Before he finished speaking, he launched a fierce attack, attempting to suppress Chen Yuan's actions by leveraging the difference in strength.

After all, as a seventh-level Hengxing expert, Clive's speed was barely enough to keep up with Chen Yuan's.

The Force Blade in his hand erupted with a blinding red light, slashing towards Chen Yuan like a blood-red ribbon.

This strike was powerful and heavy, a style of fighting that completely uses brute force to overcome skill.

"snort."

Chen Yuan gave a light snort and his figure flashed, dodging the attack.

It must be admitted that Clive's tactics were indeed effective.

Although Chen Yuan's burst speed was extremely fast, his opponents were able to catch up quickly, leaving him no time to attack others.

What's more troublesome is that, as time went on, Clive gradually adapted to Chen Yuan's rhythm, and his speed increased further, narrowing the gap between the two.

"Now your speed advantage has been negated."

Clive smiled coldly and transmitted his voice to the others using the Force: "I've already engaged him. Find an opportunity to make your move."

"Yes, Captain!"

The other team members responded immediately.

Although they were not as fast as the two, they could predict Chen Yuan's movements in advance.

At this moment, a team member stood ready in front of Chen Yuan, his battle blade brimming with fiery red primal energy, poised to launch a fatal blow at any moment.

The entire Fire Chasing Squad is composed of fire-attribute elemental force warriors, hence the name.

They are all Level 3 elites in the company, and each of them has mastered techniques for exerting more than 20 times the force.

Although Chen Yuan was protected by the Tier 3 Force Armor "Heavenly Light", he did not dare to take the opponent's attack head-on.

After all, even if the opponent couldn't break through Tianmang's defenses, the impact alone would be enough to force Chen Yuan to stop.

Once his speed is restricted, he will face an attack from nine people, and his situation will deteriorate rapidly.

Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't let the other party succeed; he had his own methods.

"Storm Shadow!"

With a soft shout, Chen Yuan suddenly accelerated, leaving a solid afterimage in his place.

The blazing blade flashed past the afterimage, but missed its target.

Facing these martial artists who lacked a domain, Chen Yuan's movement technique proved remarkably effective, creating a series of indistinguishable afterimages that instantly disrupted their attack rhythm.

Unable to distinguish which was Chen Yuan's true form, they could only attack each of the phantoms.

In such a chaotic situation, it's natural that some people will inadvertently reveal their weaknesses.

"Poirot, watch out!"

Clive's warning came too late.

Chen Yuan seized the moment when a teammate's attack missed, and with his Azure Sky Sword piercing through the enemy like a venomous snake striking.

"asshole!"

As the body fell, Clive roared, his eyes wide with rage.

"Boss, this can't go on like this."

Less than two minutes into the game, they lost two players and were completely helpless.

The opponent's movements were too agile, and they left afterimages as they moved, making it impossible for them to distinguish them.

"We must restrict the opponent's movement techniques."

Clive's eyes were bloodshot as he finally made up his mind: "That's the only way."

"Heaven-Burning Fiery Domain!"

He roared, and a dazzling red light burst forth from his body, like a burning sun.

"open!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale red wave spread out, overlapping with Chen Yuan's domain and turning into a region of interwoven blue and red.

"This is... a domain?"

Chen Yuan quickly shook his head: "No, although there is some suppression, it is completely different from a domain."

He has seen the extremes.

The secret technique released by the opponent only tainted the surrounding environment with fire-attribute primal force, without any of the heavy oppressive force brought by the domain.

"His intention is—I understand!"

With a thought, Chen Yuan released the Storm Shadow again, leaving a phantom image in the same spot.

However, this red area was filled with fire-attribute primal force, and his phantom was immediately eroded by the omnipresent primal force as soon as it appeared, and vanished instantly.

"Your movement technique is useless now!"

In the distance, Clive, gripping his battle sword, was panting heavily. His Force was nearly depleted, clearly from preparing to unleash this secret technique.

The price is not small.

"But you don't have much Force left either."

Chen Yuan keenly sensed that this secret technique had consumed at least 70% of his original power.

"Killing you is enough!"

With a roar, Clive flashed forward, his battle blade crackling with flames as he slashed fiercely at Chen Yuan.

"Attack together!"

Seeing that their leader had rushed forward, the other members of the Fire Chasing Squad also unleashed their killing moves.

Chen Yuan used his movement skills to the extreme, narrowly avoiding Clive's fatal blow, but then came the attack from the remaining seven people!

These attacks came at just the right moment when Chen Yuan unleashed his movement technique, blocking his escape route and leaving him seemingly with nowhere to hide.

In that instant, Chen Yuan's mind was working at its peak, and it seemed that the passage of time slowed down.

"Should we tough it out?"

With the Heavenly Armor protecting him, these attacks wouldn't kill him, but they would most likely leave him severely injured.

"Or perhaps—you should use illusion magic?"

This is Chen Yuan's last trump card. Once he uses it, the enemies in front of him will be nothing but chickens and dogs, and he can kill them all in an instant.

Although it would deprive Chen Yuan of the meaning of honing his skills, it would prevent him from getting injured, which seems to be the most perfect solution.

"Indeed, using illusion magic could immediately turn the tide of battle, but—"

A faint silver light suddenly appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes as he stared expressionlessly at the impending attack.

"There's absolutely no need for that!"

His figure moved, bursting forth with a speed far exceeding that of the past, appearing to the Fire Chaser Squad almost as if he were teleporting.

At this moment, Chen Yuan broke through the bottleneck!

【Raging Storm: Level 1 (100%)】

[Stepping into the threshold of the fundamental law of wind]

You have grasped the first essence of the Law of Wind: the flow of wind.

[Understanding the Profound Mysteries of the Laws: Retrospection]

[The domain has entered its fourth stage]

[You have grasped a sliver of the fundamental law of time]

[Comprehending the Profound Mysteries of the Laws: Time Acceleration]

【…】

At that very moment, system notifications refreshed like a waterfall.

But at this moment, Chen Yuan had no time to think about anything else. He felt incredibly powerful, as if his whole body was filled with strength!

The original triple wind domain has quietly transformed into a quadruple one.

Within the area of ​​influence, the members of the Fire Chaser team, who were under pressure, all froze in their movements.

"A breakthrough in the heat of battle? Impossible!"

Clive's pupils contracted, his face filled with horror.

An even more terrifying scene followed. Chen Yuan's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next instant he suddenly appeared behind a member of the Fire Chasing Squad.

With a light flick of his longsword, a streak of azure lightning flashed through the air.

The member's body was broken into several pieces and fell helplessly into the valley.

In that instant, Chen Yuan's seemingly light sword strike actually completed three slashes in a flash.

It was just too fast, exceeding everyone's reaction limit.

Of everyone present, only Clive could barely make out Chen Yuan's movements.

Before Clive's roar could even be uttered, Chen Yuan's figure was already moving like a streak of light, leaping and bounding among the members of the Fire Chasing Squad.

All of this happened in less than a second.

One second later, all members of the Fire Chaser Squad, except for Captain Clive, were killed!
