"I named you Zhiji, Zhisheng, and Zhitian, with the sole hope of 'wishing for sons to become dragons, with no limits between the heavens and the earth, to be the strongest and the most victorious!'"

"Therefore, even if I step forward and perish in this battle, you must continue to strengthen yourselves and create your own brilliance!"

As the great battle loomed, Na Wudao was unfazed; an aura of transcendence hovered about him as he imparted essential truths to his sons.

"Father, rest assured, the three of us brothers will never disgrace you!" Nan Zhiji, Nan Zhisheng, and Nan Zhitian said to their father with respect.

This night was destined to be restless.

Countless people harbored hopes in their hearts, eagerly awaiting the battle of the morrow.

As a martial arts giant, Na Wudao was facing Ye Chen, a relatively unknown figure; yet, the disparity in their status hadn't prevented Na Wudao from issuing a heroes' invite, calling the powerhouse figures of Huaxia to witness the battle and whetting some people's appetites.

However, a group of strong warriors was frustrated because the battle was imminent, and they had still not found Ye Chen to defeat him and make a name for themselves in the world.

The South Sea had fallen into darkness, and the gathering of powerhouses all anticipated the battle of the next day.

Ye Chen and Na Wudao were the main characters of this battle, each aware of the other's strength and holding a sense of reverence for each other.

Hence, Na Wudao, worried about his potential demise leading to a series of changes, took the time to arrange his affairs with his sons.

Inside the hotel.

"Yun Xianghan, why hasn't Ye Chen moved?" Ye Chen sat cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation, looking eerily still.

"When I broke through just now, Ye Chen absorbed fragments of the Great Dao from within me and refined a portion of the Other Shore Flowers, so now he seems to have gained something, being in a very peculiar state!" Yun Xianghan observed Ye Chen's condition intently but didn't dare to touch or disturb him.

Earlier, Ye Chen had helped her refine the Other Shore Flowers, and he himself had benefited, now in a mysterious realm.

"Is Ye Chen about to have a breakthrough? Is he about to ascend to becoming a Land God?" Chu Yanran said with some surprise. "Ye Chen is already Transcendent in strength; if he ascends to Land God, wouldn't he be sure to win the battle with Na Wudao tomorrow?"

"If Ye Chen were to ascend to Land God, his combat power would absolutely soar to an unimaginable level. He could then overpower Na Wudao, sweep across an empire, and it wouldn't be a problem to surpass even the Dragon Head. But how can a warrior with such a profound foundation so easily ascend?" Yun Xianghan's eyes revealed her bafflement; with Ye Chen's cultivation foundation being so strong here, he shouldn't be able to easily ascend to Land God, yet he was breaking through. Could he truly be ascending to godhood?

"Ye Chen is already at the peak of Ten Dragons, just a hair's breadth away from ascending to Land God. He's at the brink of a breakthrough now, so what else could it be?" Chu Yanran believed that Ye Chen was in the process of ascending to Land God.

"His state is mysterious; none can be certain exactly what kind of breakthrough he's aiming for!" Yun Xianghan said. "All we can do is wait quietly and see what happens after his breakthrough."

"Then, when will he complete his breakthrough?" Chu Yanran asked timidly.

"It should be very soon," Yun Xianghan said uncertainly.

Yun Xianghan and Chu Yanran chatted sporadically, and in the blink of an eye, several hours passed. Ye Chen remained in a trance, showing no signs of returning his Divine Sense to his body.

"Why hasn't Ye Chen woken up? It's already one in the morning; doesn't he need to sleep?" Chu Yanran yawned, feeling weary.

"When Ye Chen is in such a state of cultivation, it should be more restorative than sleep," Yun Xianghan said.

"What should I do if I'm tired and want to sleep?" Chu Yanran really wanted to sleep.

"Let's wait a bit longer, maybe Ye Chen will wake up soon?" Yun Xianghan was also tired, weary, and wanting to sleep, but since Ye Chen had not yet made his breakthrough, she didn't know if he might encounter danger; Yun Xianghan simply couldn't fall asleep.

"Alright, then let's wait a bit longer!" Chu Yanran nodded.

An hour went by, Ye Chen didn't wake up; two hours went by, Ye Chen still didn't wake up; three hours had passed, and Chu Yanran couldn't hold on any longer, collapsing onto the bed and falling into a deep sleep.

"It's almost dawn now, why hasn't Ye Chen completed his breakthrough?" Yun Xianghan was still standing vigil.

The battle between Ye Chen and Na Wudao was supposed to be today, and only a few hours remained until the start of the fight, yet Ye Chen was still not awake. Could it be that this battle would end without even starting?

If Ye Chen remained in such a state and couldn't go to battle Na Wudao, that would truly be a spectacle!

The battle between Na Wudao and Ye Chen had attracted countless heroes, and under the watchful eyes of all these great figures, if Ye Chen were to refuse to fight, that would be an utter loss of face and he would become the laughingstock of the entire world.

Another hour passed, and then another, daybreak was beginning to light up the sky, and a new day was about to start, but Ye Chen was still unable to extricate himself from that state.

By eight o'clock in the morning, as the sun rose and bathed the earth in its light, after keeping watch all night, Yun Xianghan also lay straight down on the bed and fell asleep—whenever Ye Chen decided to break through, he would; she was done worrying!

Nothing irked the goddess more than staying up all night, as it was bad for the skin and could affect a goddess's health and beauty!

Ye Chen's mind was immersed in a marvelous realm, a world filled with countless fragments of Dao for him to analyze and comprehend, making him completely reluctant to leave.

"Without Law, Without Thought!"

As Ye Chen observed the Dao, he touched upon its mysteries, as if he had come into contact with a realm known as Without Law, Without Thought!

Without Law, Without Thought was a unique cultivation state, which could allow the person immersed in it to comprehend all laws and elevate their martial techniques to an inconceivable level.

The reason Yun Zheyue was so formidable and invincible was that by some fortuitous encounter, she had entered the state of Without Law, Without Thought.

Yun Zheyue had mastered a dozen peerless martial techniques. When she entered the state of Without Law, Without Thought, she brought these dozen martial techniques to the Great Perfection Realm and gained an ineffable understanding of the martial path. Thus, she became powerful and commanding, achieving the title of the strongest immortal in the world.

Compared to Yun Zheyue, Ye Chen's martial foundations were truly frightening.

The martial techniques Yun Zheyue cultivated were merely a dozen or so, but Ye Chen had cultivated over a hundred martial techniques, and the methods to practice these techniques were all etched into his mind!

Even a prodigy like Ye Chen had limited energy and simply didn't have the mental capacity to cultivate so many martial techniques; therefore, he only observed and drew lessons from many of them.

However, by a stroke of fate, Ye Chen absorbed the power of the flower from the other shore and fell into the state of Without Law, Without Thought, causing unimaginable changes within his consciousness!

Ye Chen had brought only a few of his Ultimate techniques to the Great Perfection Realm, but as he entered the state of Without Law, Without Thought, the over a hundred Ultimate techniques he cultivated were all quietly transforming.

Various martial techniques burst forth from the sea of his consciousness, giving him a profound comprehension of these techniques, sharpening his proficiency in them—all his martial techniques were progressing toward the Great Perfection Realm!

Moreover, aside from the gradual perfection of his cultivated techniques, even the martial techniques he had observed were flashing through his consciousness, seamlessly integrating into his soul.

With the already daunting depth of Ye Chen's martial arts foundation, entering the state of Without Law, Without Thought had transformed his consciousness into Divine Sense, providing him with a completely new understanding of the martial techniques he had cultivated and observed, which was causing earth-shattering changes within him!
