Chapter 1575: Chapters 1522-1523: A Sneak Attack? _2 Chapter 1575: Chapters 1522-1523: A Sneak Attack? _2 Take Wan Fayi for example, his strength had reached a limit at the Supreme Strong level, and he was only a step away from the true combat power of a True Immortal. However, after arriving in the Myriad Laws Realm and attempting to ascend again, even he was by no means invincible.
Even when facing other Supreme Overlords one-on-one, he feared no one; but faced with several, or even a dozen, let alone several dozen Supreme Overlords joining forces against him, he would have no choice but to bitterly accept defeat.
At other times, for someone at his level of strength, even if others were to collaborate in an attempt to kill him, relying on his sharp perceptive abilities, he would have ample opportunity to escape.
However, now within the Myriad Laws Realm, it was entirely different. Their strengths were suppressed, their extraordinary powers and perceptions could only reach within a thousand li, a brief distance that was trivial for Supreme Strong overlord. Once entrapped within a siege, escape was impossible.
“Such an outcome, even if I were to defeat my opponents, if I ultimately couldn't survive, there would be no meaning at all,” thought Wan Fayi as he contemplated the terrifying scene of being besieged by ten or even several dozen Supreme Overlords.
No matter how gruesomely he died or how many opponents he slew, if he couldn't even get past the first round, it would mean he was completely out of the running for the position of Sect Leader.
Even though Wan Fayi himself wasn't that eager for the position of Sect Leader, he had many supporters behind him who held great expectations for him.
More importantly, Wan Fayi had been guided by the Longevity Daoist Monarch, and his reputation was well-known throughout the Shenxiao Sect and even the Divine Land World. If he were to be eliminated in the first round, no matter the reason, it would be a tremendous loss of face–he couldn't afford to be disgraced like that.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Wan Fayi's brows furrowed, and he looked northwest, where there was a loud boom that echoed across the sky, triggering waves of terror in all directions.
“Has someone started fighting already?” he murmured to himself.
He had not expected that in such a short time after entering, when everyone should still be scouting out the environment, someone would be so impatient to initiate combat, whether it was a proactive assault or out of necessity from an unforeseen encounter.
As the conflict erupted, it seemed to ignite a fuse, with more ripples of clashes between strong warriors following in succession.
Even now that Wan Fayi could only sense within a thousand li, within this range, he could tell that at least ten people had engaged in combat.
“Even if the Myriad Laws Realm isn't big, to disperse so many strong warriors and segregate them should be quite effortless. Now within a thousand li radius, there are so many engaging in combat–surely the Taoist Monarch hasn't done this on purpose!” Wan Fayi couldn't help but think.
All of a sudden, Wan Fayi's figure shifted and he moved about tens of li away.
Boom!
With a sullen expression, he looked back at where he had just been standing, now the site of a violent explosion, leaving behind an enormous crater.
Someone had managed to approach him silently, intending to ambush him, but he had detected it.
Despite evading this stealth attack, Wan Fayi's expression remained ugly. He was angry at the fact that he had nearly been ambushed.
“Heh, you actually managed to dodge it. But to not remain vigilant at all times during the Myriad Laws Realm trial and to stand there so boldly contemplating, you really are arrogant!” A fleeting, ethereal voice echoed around, clearly belonging to the person who had just made the stealth attack on Wan Fayi.
For these contenders, the Myriad Laws Realm trial was an extremely dangerous place, especially the first round. Anyone could be an enemy, and no one knew from where the others might appear.
So, most strong warriors, regardless of whether they needed to consider something or observe something, would naturally opt to keep themselves in a very secure position.
Wan Fayi, however, upon entering the realm, had let his thoughts and attentions be drawn to pondering the Taoist Monarch's intentions and purposes, and had then been distracted by the recent combat, completely failing to notice his surroundings, thus giving the attacker the chance to approach.
This person had clearly specialized in the art of stealth. Upon arriving and seeing Wan Fayi standing so carelessly, he knew that anyone daring to expose themselves so freely must possess extraordinary strength and hadn't planned on making a move.
But when he saw that Wan Fayi was truly distracted, he could hardly contain himself. Moreover, he was extremely confident in his own stealth techniques, feeling that even if he failed to strike successfully, he still had a complete chance to escape.
Sure enough, when his surprise attack failed and he clearly sensed Wan Fayi's strength, he was ready to flee. However, he couldn't help taunting him out loud, revealing some of his true nature.
Unexpectedly, it was this very taunting that completely exposed his position and gave the infuriated Wan Fayi the chance to catch him.
“Found you!” Wan Fayi snorted coldly and reached out towards a direction.
Boom!
The heavens and the earth were shocked, space trembled, and a shadow was squeezed out from the space.
“You! How can you detect my presence!” The man's eyes were filled with disbelief.
He, as a Supreme Strong, though not at the very pinnacle in terms of Realm, had cultivated the Path of Space, hence even if his Realm was slightly lower, his combat strength was among the very top.
With his ghostly movements through space, many Supreme Overlords with the strength of True Immortals were unable to do anything to him, roaming the Chaos Void for thousands of years without ever failing.
Because of this, he had confidently made his move upon seeing Wan Fayi.
But now, to his surprise, Wan Fayi had directly located his hiding place and pulled him out of the hidden space, causing him to be profoundly shocked and terrified.
His utmost reliance was breached, and now, he found himself in deep trouble.
It was just his bad luck. Had it been any other Supreme Strong, even many powerful Supreme Overlords, when facing the unfathomable Path of Space, it would be as if a tiger trying to catch a fly, clueless on how to proceed.
But what was an unsolvable situation for other strong warriors was not a difficult problem in the hands of Wan Fayi.
His way, the All Laws Return to One, aimed to refine countless Divine Abilities and skills into one. And he had studied various Divine Abilities and skills, lightly touching on space-related ones as well.
For others, even if they had such an idea, they would miss the opportunity due to the rarity and preciousness of space-related Divine Abilities and skills.
But for Wan Fayi, being a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect and backed by the Sect, coupled with the personal guidance and favor of Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, he could exchange for all the coveted Divine Abilities and skills within the sect provided he had enough merit, or even get them on credit if needed.
Thus, the man's card up his sleeve, which he took great pride in, was of no consequence in front of Wan Fayi.
“Go to hell!” Wan Fayi's expression was icy as he silently made his move.
Toward someone daring to ambush him, he would show no mercy whatsoever.
His hands formed seals, and several Divine Abilities were cast out, their powers entwining and unleashing an unimaginable force!
“You are Wan Fayi!”
The man might not have realized Wan Fayi's identity at first, but as Wan Fayi took action once more, the unmistakable signature made it clear whom he was dealing with.
Wan Fayi, among the highest echelon of the Supreme Strong within the Shenxiao Sect, walked the Path of All Laws Return to One and had achieved no small proficiency. How could such a powerhouse go unnoticed by his peers?
Moreover, once such a strong individual stepped into the True Immortal level, even just entering the early stages of True Immortal, he would become a tremendously formidable being among the True Immortals, attracting the attention of all immortal sects toward such a True Immortal Seed.
