The Tongshen Realm can infinitely approach the Wanxiang Realm, but it can never surpass the Wanxiang Realm.
The reason the Wanxiang Realm is the Wanxiang Realm is because there is a qualitative difference from the Tongshen Realm.
The hardness of ten thousand sheets of paper stacked together can never surpass an iron knife.
Perhaps, when ten thousand sheets of paper are stacked together, they can resist the chop of an iron knife and not be instantly cut through, but the paper can never cut an iron knife.
The Tongshen Realm might be able to fight against the Wanxiang Realm, but it can never kill the Wanxiang Realm.
This is the qualitative difference between "paper" and "iron".
This is the perception brought about by a deep understanding of the Heaven and Earth Law.
Lu Yu possesses more than thirty thousand beginner-level laws of the Heaven and Earth Law, which may not be comparable to only a few laws but deeply understood at the peak of the Tongshen Realm.
In the comprehension of laws, "quality" is far more important than "quantity", especially when reaching a certain level, quantity cannot make up for the qualitative gap.
But this does not affect Lu Yu's understanding of more Heaven and Earth Laws to enhance his own strength.
Just as the saying goes, the Tongshen Realm can infinitely approach the Wanxiang Realm, and Lu Yu is working hard in this direction.
He also wanted to wait for a Tongshen Realm ninth-stage demonic beast to see exactly what level his strength had reached.
Using a method of compressing domains and accumulating power for bursts is ultimately not true strength, and in a real battle, there is no such opportunity.
Facing the Wanxiang Realm is just an exception, Lu Yu would never be conceited enough to think that he has the ability to fight against the Wanxiang Realm.
If it really came down to a fight, daring to do so would likely lead to only one road to death.
Instead of encountering a Tongshen Realm ninth-stage demonic beast, he heard an unexpected voice.
The sound of the Heavenly Dao echoed in Lu Yu's mind, instructing him to go to another battle zone to resolve the powerful demonic beast that appeared there.
The decisive battle space encompasses all the demonic beasts that entered the Divine Martial World from the boundary wall, so naturally, it cannot be completely without loopholes, and occasionally demonic beasts surpassing the level appear in lower-level battle zones.
In such situations, it requires the martial cultivators within the decisive battle space to resolve it.
The consciousness of the Heavenly Dao chose Lu Yu, informing him to go there and solve the problem.
Lu Yu did not hesitate, agreeing immediately. Following that, he felt his domain gradually dissipate, dispersed by the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the surrounding scene became blurry before quickly becoming clear again.
He found himself in a new battle zone. Looking up, Lu Yu saw a demonic beast hovering in the air in the distance.
Feeling the aura of that demonic beast, he felt a little disappointed. He thought it was going to be a powerful demonic beast, but it turned out to be just a high-level Divided Spirit Realm demonic beast.
However, for the people here, the strength of that demonic beast was indeed too strong.
At this moment, the aura of that demonic beast rapidly expanded, instantly breaking through the limits of the Divided Spirit Realm and reaching the Tongshen Realm, with its aura still rising.
Feeling the continuously rising aura, a strange light appeared in Lu Yu's eyes, realizing he had misjudged.
This turned out to be a demonic beast that could break through to the Tongshen Realm at any moment.
Once the demonic beast's strength reached the Tongshen Realm, no martial cultivator in this battle zone would have the strength to resist it. If Lu Yu hadn't come, likely everyone would have perished here.
Most Divided Spirit Realms would have no chance of escape against a Tongshen Realm.
The several Divided Spirit Realms besieging that demonic beast felt the tremendous pressure, their expressions changed drastically, and just resisting the aura of the Tongshen Realm demonic beast made their faces flush red.
The Tongshen Realm demonic beast scanned the few people besieging it and was about to make a move to kill them when it suddenly found itself unable to move.
A figure descended from the sky.
Lu Yu glanced at the martial cultivators around, realizing he couldn't easily unleash his domain to reap the demonic beasts without risking injuring them.
Now, his abilities were too mixed, unlike before, when he could use soul power to modify rules, setting them not to harm humans.
This is the influence brought by an insufficiently profound understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws, making it difficult to control vast power to every inch.
Boom! The Tongshen Realm demonic beast broke free of Lu Yu's restraints, glanced at Lu Yu, and retreated rapidly, with many demonic beasts behind it starting to collapse. Clouds of black mist rose from the ground.
The countless black mist gathered together, forming a black cloud, and the figure of the Tongshen Realm demonic beast disappeared into the black cloud.
Lu Yu gazed at the black cloud, his expression without a trace of fluctuation, his power emanated out, enveloping the black cloud for compression.
A force of resistance emerged from within the black cloud, and Lu Yu's power was surprisingly broken by the Tongshen Realm demonic beast, as a demonic shadow formed by demonic Qi appeared before Lu Yu.
The demonic shadow punched towards Lu Yu, with a vast amount of demonic Qi erupting, forming skyfuls of black Qi spears shooting toward Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's mouth slightly twisted upward, finding it a bit interesting. This demonic beast seemed somewhat different.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao had him come to deal with it; if it had been another Tongshen Realm, they might have been tricked by it.
Although this demonic beast's realm seemed low, it possessed special abilities, capable of gathering the power of other demonic beasts to form small-scale demonic shadows.
The combat power it erupted with was comparable to a seventh-stage Tongshen Realm, and it continued to rise; the more demonic beasts around, the stronger its power became.
With a thought, Lu Yu erected a "wall" formed by multiple overlapping domains in front of him, blocking all the black Qi spears.
Glimpsing around, Lu Yu understood that the key to killing this demonic beast lay in the surrounding demonic beasts.
Once the low and mid-tier demonic beasts disappeared, it would lose its source of power, naturally becoming weaker.
The only trouble was, he couldn't use his domain to obliterate these low and mid-tier demonic beasts, because there were still many Divided Spirit Realm and Core Formation Realm martial cultivators in this battle zone.
