His power of light stemmed from the Sea of Light in the Land of Reincarnation, while his power of darkness originated from Ghost Cry Ridge on the Central Plains. Both the Realm of Life and Death and Ghost Cry Ridge were places painstakingly constructed by the figures of the former Divine Path. There, they had left behind corresponding divine energies, and He Yiming, having traversed the perils of those locales, had somehow transformed that legacy into his own might.

In the past, He Yiming might not have been able to unleash the light and dark energies in this manner, but before his eyes, he had the perfect model. Sensing the fluctuations of these light and dark forces, the two energies in his hands began to merge in an identical fashion.

Had these two supreme powerhouses from the West witnessed this scene, they would surely have been profoundly shaken.

This was the unique capability of the Chaos Dantian; without this expanse of chaos capable of accommodating all energies, He Yiming, despite possessing the legendary Light-Dark Body, could never have so easily achieved this state.

Naturally, without the Chaos Dantian, he would also not have been able to advance to the pinnacle of the Human Dao at this very moment.

A colossal pressure erupted from the presence of the two Western experts. When two peak Human Dao experts unleashed their strongest powers in this specialized manner, the resulting might they unleashed was unimaginably immense.

The Scepter of Light, the Chains of Darkness…

These two imitation divine artifacts struck toward He Yiming simultaneously.

The space before him rippled with a strange distortion; the clash of these two powers had actually induced a mutation in the very fabric of space itself.

He Yiming’s eyelids twitched—this was the power of the Divine Path, absolute divine energy that had been deliberately suppressed.

For only the power of a god could cause spatial energy to warp in this manner.

If the power wielded by He Yiming and the other Ninth Heaven experts was merely the key to unlocking the Divine Path, then when the powers of light and dark combined, they could release true divine power possessing a fraction of divine majesty.

A sudden realization dawned upon He Yiming. No wonder the Patriarch of the Yellow Springs had left without a backward glance; he profoundly understood the irresistible strength of this energy.

The Patriarch of the Yellow Springs was correct: to confront this power, one had to scatter it before the light and dark had fully merged. Once they combined, the opportunity would be lost forever.

For the union of light and dark created a higher tier of power, before which even a peak Human Dao expert would have to retreat three paces.

Yet, He Yiming’s face betrayed neither surprise nor joy. He watched coldly, and the power in his hands spread outward, enveloping Bai Lingba and the White Horse within its reach.

The space around He Yiming vibrated violently, as if undergoing a magnitude twelve earthquake, or perhaps a massive vortex had appeared nearby, threatening to draw him in completely.

However, abruptly, a barrier of light and shadow materialized around him, mirroring precisely the combined power unleashed by the two Western experts.

Though the surrounding turbulence was fierce, resembling a blender intent on crushing everything, these energies instantly smoothed out upon encountering the barrier surrounding He Yiming, without even a ripple remaining.

Protected by this substantial power, He Yiming remained as steadfast as a sacred mountain, utterly unmoving amidst the ever-changing chaos around him.

The faces of Franklin and Garfield became impossibly strange, filled with intense unease, terror, and a deep shade of disbelief.

“The Divine Power of Light and Dark, how did you achieve this?” Franklin murmured.

He was not surprised that He Yiming possessed the Light-Dark Body, but what He Yiming commanded was clearly the Divine Power of Earth. If so, how could he have simultaneously absorbed the Divine Powers of Light and Dark into his body?

Could it be that within him, three different elemental divine powers could coexist?

Such capability surpassed the limits of the Human Dao; perhaps only figures from the legendary Divine Path could absorb three or more different divine energies.

But even if he had absorbed the divine powers of light and dark concurrently, how had he managed to fuse them into one? No one understood the difficulty of achieving this feat better than these two Western experts.

He Yiming chuckled, "The Divine Power of Light and Dark is indeed potent. You two should sample it as well."

With a flick of his hands, the light and dark energies surrounding him surged outward, surging toward the two opponents.

This immense power spun in the air like a Wind Fire Wheel, and just as it neared its targets, it even morphed into the shape of a colossal Tai Chi symbol.

The Five Elements combining could form a wheel; the union of light and dark could achieve the same.

He Yiming had evidently borrowed the technique used to control the Five Elements Ring to integrate these two forces so seamlessly.

The Scepter of Light and the Chains of Darkness struck again in unison, and while they shattered the Tai Chi Wheel released by He Yiming, the energies around the two Westerners also received a tremendous impact.

This demonstrated that the power He Yiming had condensed was, in fact, a shade stronger than the combined force of the two Western experts.

A flicker of pride crossed his eyes. This completely new offensive method combining light and dark was undeniably He Yiming’s own creation. His eyes shone with potent confidence; if he were to battle any single peak Human Dao expert right now, he was certain he could emerge victorious.

Franklin and Garfield exchanged a look, dangerous glints flashing in their eyes. At this moment, they resolved that they would destroy this young Human Dao peak expert at any cost.

Vast energies of light and dark were released from their bodies without restraint, manifesting even greater power upon combination.

He Yiming frowned slightly. Although he had grasped some of the mysteries behind the fusion of light and dark, their absolute strength surpassed his own, and crucially, they possessed two imitation divine artifacts of light and dark—the true reason they could maximize their inherent power.

At this moment, He Yiming secretly seethed with resentment. If he could also absorb the divine powers of Metal and Water, even single-handedly, he would certainly not fear the two Western experts.

But now, a faint chill crept into his heart.

However, a sudden spark ignited in his mind, and an announcement from his consciousness brought him overwhelming joy, causing the most gratified smile to bloom on He Yiming’s face.

The consciousness of the Divine Path Coagulated Blood Man informed him that the Divine Path Sarira and the one hundred and seven Great Sariras of the Venerables had completely divided the sarira within the puppet body and restored it to its optimal condition.

Having received the sariras meticulously cultivated by the Patriarch of the Yellow Springs for hundreds of years, the once-limp Coagulated Blood Man became instantly rigid, as if consuming a potent elixir.

A massive, profound, and incredible power began to slowly ascend from the depths of the sea.

It was an unimaginable, mountain-crushing aura of might. As this presence permeated the entire sea region, the hearts of everyone present, save for Bai Lingba, leaped wildly; they were profoundly shaken by this sheer force.

The seawater suddenly parted, and a figure slowly ascended from the ocean.

His body bore no divine weapon’s radiance, nor did any power visibly flow around him. Yet, his body simply rose from the water, slowly, under the gaze of everyone watching.

Witnessing this unbelievable scene, the faces of the two top Western experts showed expressions of utter disbelief.

“Flight without aid… Impossible!” Franklin mumbled.

To soar through the air without relying on any divine weapon’s light was something spoken of only in legends. Since the disappearance of the Divine Path realm, this sight had not manifested in the world.

Everyone, including the Treasure Pig and White Horse Lightning, felt their throats dry up.

Moreover, no one present failed to recognize this man’s face—it was the Patriarch of the Yu family, the one He Yiming had sent plunging into the sea with a single finger strike.

Slowly turning his head, the emotionless gaze of the Yu family Patriarch fell upon He Yiming. Although he knew this was a puppet, and part of its consciousness resided within his own mind, He Yiming still felt an intense, absolute coldness wash over him.

The hair on the back of his neck prickled without his noticing, and his heart hammered faster.

Yet, his reaction was swift. Without hesitation, he pointed toward the two Western experts and commanded, “Kill them.”

The complexions of the two Western experts shifted slightly. They vaguely sensed that the transformation of the Yu Family Patriarch was somehow linked to He Yiming, but they could not comprehend why this puppet would obey He Yiming’s orders, or how the puppet’s rank had instantly elevated to such an unbelievable level.

The Yu Family Patriarch turned his head back and, without hesitation, raised one arm.

The speed at which he lifted his arm was not fast, but the moment that arm began to rise, the very heavens and earth began to change…

The power of the cosmos rushed toward the Patriarch’s arm with an unprecedented, frantic velocity.

This power did not enter his body but gathered around his arm, obeying the command with the discipline of the most formidable army.

Above, violent gales erupted, and dark clouds boiled; upon the sea, massive waves surged, crashing skyward.

In that mere instant, the entire world mutated at an inconceivable rate.

In the brief moment it took just to raise that arm, the power of the heaven and earth within a hundred-mile radius converged before the Yu Family Patriarch with indescribable speed.

That arm, heavy as Mount Tai, swept downward like a massive executioner’s blade, hacking forward…
