Su Yuan didn't immediately give chase, instead watching from his original position as the other fled.

The Blade Demon's spiritual sense remained locked onto Su Yuan's position. When he saw that Su Yuan wasn't pursuing, his expression darkened. Even after his spiritual sense could no longer detect Su Yuan's location, he still saw no intention from Su Yuan to chase him.

The Blade Demon's heart sank to the depths, because he knew that since the other party had gone to such great lengths to find him, they wouldn't let him leave so easily.

He continuously changed directions, suppressing his aura to the extreme while altering his appearance, disguising himself as a calamity specter. He employed dozens of concealment techniques, hiding his condition comprehensively.

Only when he reached another safe area and found a hidden spot to take cover did he finally stop.

However, the moment he entered the hidden cave, he happened to see Su Yuan smiling at him, along with a sharp axe gleam.

Caught completely off guard, a huge gash was carved into the Blade Demon's body. The Law of Metal wildly ravaged his form, rapidly depleting his magic power.

Enraged, the Blade Demon realized he couldn't escape the other's pursuit. Since that was the case, he would fight with his life on the line.

Su Yuan immediately sensed the change in the other's aura and his expression turned serious.

A blade light shot toward Su Yuan.

Su Yuan utilized the Spatial Law, using starlight as a medium to leap through space.

Yet the blade light still struck Su Yuan.

The Innate Immortal Dew Pond flashed with white light, instantly weakening ninety percent of the attack's damage. However, one-tenth of the damage still penetrated the treasure's defense and landed on Su Yuan. After being blocked by Su Yuan's defensive supernatural abilities and weakened a second time, only one percent remained. The Primordial Chaos physical body blocked the vast majority, but one-thousandth of the attack still reached Su Yuan's Nascent Soul.

Su Yuan didn't activate the [Great Power Bearing] ability, enduring this strike head-on.

Su Yuan frowned, continuously recalling the opponent's attack within the Corridor of Time. That blade light contained multiple laws, primarily the Law of Blades supplemented by various other laws, forming a grand Dao supernatural ability!

The fusion of laws was extremely exquisite. Within the river of time inside the [Corridor of Time], Su Yuan repeatedly observed and learned its profound mysteries.

The Blade Demon's expression turned cold. Gathering and scattering without form, in an instant he transformed into thousands of figures, filling the sky with blade lights aimed directly at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan dodged repeatedly, and even when he couldn't avoid an attack, he delayed the moment of impact.

Attack after attack penetrated the treasure's defense and landed on Su Yuan, who blocked them easily. However, his Primordial Chaos magic power was rapidly consumed in the process.

Su Yuan also launched attacks against the Blade Demon.

The Blade Demon's figure flickered unpredictably across a region of thousands of miles, his movement technique reaching an extremely exquisite level.

Su Yuan's axe lights fell one after another, with over ninety-nine percent being dodged. However, the attacks that landed on the Blade Demon caused more damage than what Su Yuan himself endured, because the Blade Demon lacked treasure defense and his physical body wasn't particularly strong.

After fighting for a while, the Blade Demon quickly realized that his opponent's combat experience was quite weak, and their application of laws was very crude. This realization made the Blade Demon's mind grow active.

"To think he's actually a rookie!" The Blade Demon first felt joy, then immediately grew wary. "No, how could a Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal's combat skills be so clumsy? This must be a trick!"

Cold sweat trickled in the Blade Demon's heart. Devious, truly too devious!

Sure enough.

Only a few days into the battle.

He immediately sensed that Su Yuan's movement technique had become several times more profound, now incorporating numerous laws including Spatial Law, Concealment Law, Five Elements Law, Shadow Law, and more.

These laws were all integrated into the Starry Dao Road, evolving through it to form a movement supernatural ability of the Starry Dao Road!

While dodging, he could now evade ten percent of the Blade Demon's attacks.

The Blade Demon snorted coldly inwardly: "As expected, he was deceiving me! His current level is already equivalent to a Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal who has broken through several Yuan Assemblies, nothing like a rookie! I didn't fall for it after all! Wait..."

The Blade Demon suddenly remembered that when Su Yuan first appeared in the initial land, his displayed cultivation was indeed Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal...

"No, that was also disguised! During this time, I haven't sensed anyone breaking through to Primordial Chaos. At such close distance, I definitely should have sensed if someone broke through!"

The Blade Demon grew increasingly suspicious and paranoid.

Suddenly, the axe lights Su Yuan unleashed became even more profound.

The Law of Metal portion had now integrated into the Starry Dao Road, no longer merely a mixed state of two laws.

The golden axe also transformed into a war sword under Su Yuan's use, cooperating with the Starry Dao Road to unleash numerous sword gleams.

Su Yuan no longer simply utilized the treasure's inherent restriction power, but instead used the treasure's material itself to execute his own Starry Law Dao supernatural abilities!

The sword light became bizarre, possessing spatial locking, instant movement, time acceleration, division into thousands, formless gathering and scattering, and many other mysteries, all unified by the Starry Law. The explosive attack power increased severalfold!

The Blade Demon could no longer dodge easily, with ten percent of attacks now landing on him.

The damage the Blade Demon suffered immediately intensified greatly, and the consumption of his internal magic power rapidly accelerated.

"What's going on? Why did his attacks suddenly become so powerful?" The Blade Demon faintly sensed a somewhat familiar flavor within the opponent's attacks.

It was the grand Dao supernatural ability he himself had spent tens of millions of Yuan Assemblies to successfully create - [Void-Shattering Demon Slash]!

As time passed, the Blade Demon discovered that the familiar feeling in Su Yuan's attacks grew stronger and stronger. Moreover, the movement technique for dodging also felt similar to his own!

"Are you stealing techniques?" the Blade Demon couldn't help but exclaim.

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow: "You only noticed now?"

"Impossible! This is my original grand Dao supernatural ability! The result of my countless years of comprehension! The laws I've mastered within it have my unique characteristics—how could you possibly learn them?"

The Blade Demon's expression revealed intense disbelief.

Su Yuan shrugged. Fine if you don't believe, he didn't need the other's belief anyway.

The battle between the two continued intensely, the combat fluctuations spreading extremely far!

They were very likely to attract unknown dangers!

The Blade Demon grew increasingly anxious as they fought, unleashing increasingly powerful methods. His blade lights now incorporated formation variations—with a single slash, a formation would complete. Countless blade lights formed a trapping grand formation, as the Blade Demon intended to trap Su Yuan and escape this place.

However, Su Yuan easily teleported away from the formation, continuing to pursue and fight the Blade Demon.

"You can't resolve me quickly, but our battle will attract calamity specter attacks. Think carefully—your future is immensely bright. Do you really want to perish together with me?" the Blade Demon asked solemnly.

Su Yuan chuckled lightly: "You die, I live—this is the final outcome. You cannot change it!"

The Blade Demon suddenly laughed heartily: "What the hell do you know!"

He spoke no more, bottling up a surge of fury that made his attacks several degrees sharper!

Su Yuan continued attacking the Blade Demon.

Their battle indeed attracted calamity specters. White ghostly shadows approached their combat area, but the Banyan clone appeared outside, luring the calamity specters to move further away. After leading them a certain distance, the Banyan clone would teleport back to the battlefield periphery, luring other calamity specters away from the combat zone.

Several days passed like this.

The Blade Demon looked around in shock and suspicion. The distant sky showed no trace of calamity specters.

"Damn it! Normally I can't avoid them enough, but now when I want to see one, I can't find any for over ten days? This is truly haunted!" The Blade Demon felt his misfortune had reached an unbelievable level.

By this time, the Blade Demon realized that Su Yuan's various combat techniques had become extremely close to his own. The methods of his attack supernatural abilities were also identical to his.

But the gap in treasures between them kept the Blade Demon at a disadvantage. The weakening of his body and magic power exhausted him mentally and physically.

However, after a few more days, the Blade Demon noticed that the familiar feeling in Su Yuan's attacks was gradually disappearing.

The law variations contained within the stellar sword light grew richer.

The damage inflicted on him gradually deepened, and the difficulty of dodging greatly increased.

Meanwhile, the opponent's movement technique also became more profound, gradually turning unfamiliar and elegant.

His figure flickered in and out of space, continuously traveling through spatial layers, greatly improving his success rate in dodging attacks.

The Blade Demon had realized that the other was "surpassing the master by learning from him"!

Imitating him, catching up to him, becoming him, surpassing him!

The other party had actually elevated his combat skills beyond his own level in just over twenty days. Such comprehension talent was too monstrous, completely breaking the rules!

Having such a person as an opponent filled the Blade Demon with deep helplessness.

"Damn it, I actually became a whetstone!"

The Blade Demon fought while fleeing, moving toward the distance. He now wanted to find calamity specters to use them to shake off Su Yuan's pursuit.

The Blade Demon ran, Su Yuan chased from behind.

Su Yuan's attacks were indeed gradually growing stronger.

The Blade Demon had demonstrated the combat methods and rhythms of a Primordial Chaos great power. Combined with his cultivation state, Su Yuan's comprehension efficiency greatly improved.

Especially the effect of [Daoist Techniques Naturally]—Su Yuan could comprehend laws during battle.

He hadn't had the chance to test this term's effect until now. This full-powered battle with the Blade Demon allowed Su Yuan to enjoy the effects of [Daoist Techniques Naturally]. His progress in the Law of Blades advanced rapidly, directly reaching the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal level.

"Haha, Blade Demon, where do you think you're going? Show me your stronger power, otherwise you won't have the chance to display it!"

Su Yuan laughed heartily, his attitude exceptionally arrogant!

The Blade Demon fled forward continuously for several full days. With the means of a Primordial Chaos great power, even within the special environment of the Primordial Isle, he could travel extremely far distances.

Logically, at such distance, he should have encountered calamity specters long ago, but he simply hadn't found any.

During the escape process, the injuries on his body grew increasingly severe.

Finally, in utter bewilderment, the Blade Demon had his true spirit extinguished by Su Yuan, perishing on the spot!
