Cangling Immortal Clan

With the completion of the Myriad Transformations Soul, the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower soon completed its final transformation, becoming a pseudo-mysterious spiritual treasure woven from endless laws.

After completing the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower and the Myriad Transformations Soul, Ye Linyuan used the power of the myriad laws to temper his physical body and cultivated with the Xuanhuang Sacred Fruit for thousands of years, finally cultivating the Myriad Transformations Immortal Body to a perfect level.

At this point, Ye Linyuan's foundation had been completely perfected, reaching a point where there was almost no room for further advancement.

"One hundred and eight rudimentary laws, the Myriad Transformations Soul has been cultivated, the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower has been successfully cultivated, plus the Myriad Transformations Body at the half-step Void Refinement level..."

Ye Linyuan kept muttering to himself, calculating his own foundation.

Now, he dares to challenge the Void Supreme with only his physical strength, and his power of law and divine abilities has already broken through the limits.

His strength has reached an unbelievable level. Perhaps even after millions of years in the human world, it is impossible to find another half-step Void Refinement cultivator as strong.

"I don't know exactly what level I've reached right now."

"Even if the three supreme beings—the Undying Golden Ape Ancestor, the Primordial Divine Turtle Ancestor, and the Thunder Emperor Supreme—join forces, I should still have the power to fight them."

Thoughts kept surfacing in Ye Linyuan's mind, and then he slowly gathered them all back.

He calmly got up, went outside the cave world, and examined the array in the surrounding void.

After thousands of years of accumulation, the Ye Clan and its followers have used a vast amount of materials to build a super-large Gathering Yuan Array around the Time-Space Cave.

This formation has no offensive or defensive capabilities; its greatest ability is to store the vital energy of heaven and earth.

This is what Ye Linyuan needs when he breaks through. After all, it took him a long time to break through to the Great Perfection of the Primordial Spirit. Sufficient heaven and earth energy is essential for him to quickly break through to the Chaotic Supreme.

"With the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower as the core and the million-mile-long cave world as the furnace, I will set up a super-large Yuan Gathering Array. The supply of heaven and earth Yuan Qi when I break through should not be a problem."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, then casually used the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower as the core to strengthen this super Yuan Gathering Array to the sixth level. He then reinforced the mountain-protecting array with several Xuan Tian spiritual treasures before getting up and leaving.

He arrived at the Netherworld Ancient Realm and looked at the desolate Netherworld Bell. The Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower in his pupils shone with an overwhelming light.

To this day, the Myriad Transformations Immortal Eyes has mastered tens of thousands of eye techniques, including the Ten Great Mysterious Heavenly Divine Eyes such as the Golden Eye of Breaking Illusion.

This allowed the Myriad Transformations Immortal Eyes to surpass its predecessor, instantly piercing through the vast void and revealing the truth within the Netherworld Bell as Ye Linyuan continuously activated it.

But inside the Netherworld Bell, boundless black energy engulfed everything, seemingly corrupted and transformed into a demonic bell.

Fortunately, Ye Linyuan's Myriad Transformations Immortal Eyes could see through all things, and he actually saw through the endless black energy, and saw the trace of spirituality in the Netherworld Bell that was almost completely annihilated, but still stubbornly resisting.

"..."

"when--"

In the ancient realm of Haotian, the melodious sound of bells echoed, their long, resonant tones sweeping across the heavens.

In an instant, countless cultivators throughout the entire Haotian Ancient Realm raised their heads and looked at the center of the Haotian Ancient Realm. After a moment, they turned and left with excitement and fear.

Many years ago, news that Xuan Yuan Dao Zun was about to attain enlightenment had already spread throughout the world. Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven had also long ago released the news, urging them to move to the outside of the Central Region Immortal Cultivation World as soon as possible to avoid encountering a great calamity during their advancement.

On this very day, in the center of the Haotian Ancient Realm, within the majestic Xuanyuan Cave Heaven, Ye Linyuan sat calmly in the center of the main hall, observing everyone with a complex expression in his eyes.

Many years later, his followers' cultivation levels are now vastly different from what they were before.

Now he has many powerful subordinates, including more than twenty who are only at the half-step Void Refinement stage.

This includes exceptionally talented individuals from the Ye family lineage, such as Shui Hanqing, Ye Xuqiu, Ye Yingxu, Ye Chongyun, Ao Xuan, Jiang Nianshang, and the Undying Golden Ape.

There are also more than ten other unparalleled geniuses with extraordinary talents, such as the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, the Golden Crow Emperor, the Ink Abyss Demon Lord, the Double-Pupiled Heavenly Maiden, Ye Changfeng, the Seven Absolute Saint Lord, and the Evergreen Dao Lord.

It can be said that the most amazing group of people in the entire Nine Heavens Ancient Realm have all broken through to the half-step Void Refinement Realm in these few thousand years.

Among these powerful individuals, there is a group of incredibly strong people. Ao Xuan's combat power is almost 60% of that of a Refinement Void Supreme, and with the support of two Mysterious Heavenly Treasures, he possesses 80% of the combat power of a Refinement Void Supreme.

The Undying Golden Ape was slightly weaker, but with the repaired Immortal Iron Cudgel and battle armor, it reached about 60-70% of the level of a Refining Void Supreme.

The others were slightly weaker, but with the support of various supernatural souls and the incomplete or repaired Xuan Tian spiritual treasures, they could basically unleash 40% to 60% of the strength of a Refining Void Supreme.

This is the benefit of having a strong foundation. Even if any one of the half-step Void Refinement cultivators present had obtained one or two repaired and damaged Xuan Tian spiritual treasures, they would have invincible combat power among their peers by relying on such treasures.

"Nine thousand six hundred years."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, calmly looking at his subordinates, and spoke with considerable emotion.

"Since my reincarnation and rebirth, nine thousand six hundred years have passed without my realizing it, and my cultivation has already touched the threshold of the Void Refinement stage."

"Everyone, time waits for no one. The extraterrestrial demon emperor will be resurrected in 20,000 years. My breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm is inevitable."

"This breakthrough to the Void Refinement stage is the strongest tribulation in the Haotian Ancient Realm in nearly a million years, and the task of protecting the Dharma can only be entrusted to you all."

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a solemn expression.

They knew very well that whether Ye Linyuan could break through this time was a matter of life and death for the entire Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

Only if Ye Linyuan, the strongest genius in the history of the Haotian Ancient Realm, breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm and goes to the Longevity Ancient Realm to break through to an even higher realm, will it be possible to stop the resurgence of the Garuda Demon Emperor.

Otherwise, no one could have prevented the destruction of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

After all, the Nine Nether Demon Realm is powerful, and the Asura Demon Clan is the third-ranked royal family of the demonic path. Even if the Human Dao Ancestor wanted to prevent their resurgence, he probably wouldn't have enough power.

Only if Ye Linyuan breaks through to the Void Refinement stage, or even further cultivates to a higher realm, will it be possible to break the balance between the two sides and prevent or disrupt the resurgence of Garuda Demon Emperor.

"Senior, we will do our utmost to protect you as you attain enlightenment and refine your true nature."

"Ugh--"

Ye Linyuan sighed slightly, said nothing more, and simply waved his sleeve, handing them various rare treasures.

After doing all this, his figure slowly disappeared, returning to the deepest part of the cave world.

Soon after, the vast Xuan Yuan Cave slowly opened, and the towering array patterns were fully activated, causing an immense and boundless aura to rise.

"He is breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, and his momentum is growing very fast."

Meanwhile, far away in the endless void, a group of ancient beings who had been sleeping were all awakened.

These people were all half-step Void Refinement cultivators who escaped from various forbidden areas back then. Over the years, they relied on their remaining resources and used their last batch of rare items to barely seal themselves away. However, there was no spiritual energy in the void, so if they wanted to survive, they could only absorb the spiritual energy from various spiritual objects or spirit stones.

It has barely managed to survive until now, but it can only maintain a minimal state of slumber, and now it is almost at the end of its life.

"This old thief Xuan Yuan is already so domineering even before breaking through to the Void Refinement stage. If he really succeeds in breaking through, how will we have any chance of survival?"

The old man from the Immortal Ruins whispered, a sinister glint in his eyes.

These words quickly resonated with many people, and the Xuanming Daoist Venerable decisively said, "His magical power is incomparably strong, so his speed in breaking through to the Void Refinement stage will definitely not be fast."

"If we seize the opportunity to kill it, its boundless and powerful life essence is probably no less than that of the Longevity Wood Heart. Even if we were to live another life, we might not be able to do it."

"It is only right that we join forces to kill him and absolutely not allow him to break through."

The group quickly made up their minds, and one by one they broke free from their seals, heading towards the Haotian Ancient Realm with boundless killing intent.

At the same time, in the center of the Haotian Ancient Realm, the grand formation of the Xuanyuan Cave Heaven was activated to its limit, forming a transcendent cave heaven grand formation.

But at that moment, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled violently, and a colossal hand that blotted out the sky pressed down.

"The old thief Xuan Yuan has acted perversely, wreaked havoc on the world, and slaughtered hundreds of ancient fellow cultivators."

"As the direct disciple of the Xuan Tian Realm Master, I will act on behalf of Heaven today and utterly kill you to avenge our fallen comrades."

The dark void shattered, and Xuanming Daozun, dressed in snow-white robes, descended to the mortal world like a celestial lord from the heavens, intending to suppress a demon in the mortal realm.

Faced with this colossal hand that blotted out the sky, the heroes within the grotto-heaven sneered. Then, the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor's domineering blade soared into the heavens, endless seven-colored immortal light sweeping across the vast nine heavens, carrying the most domineering battle intent as it proclaimed:

“Xuanming, you old thief, as the direct descendant of the Realm Lord, you are truly a disgrace to the Xuantian Realm Lord.”

"Rumble--"

Boundless fighting spirit pierced the heavens, and the two sides engaged in an unprecedented grand duel.

It must be admitted that the Heavenly Demon Emperor is no longer the same as before. Since participating in the Great Calamity of Life, he has undergone a complete transformation.

Today, having experienced the great calamity of life and death, pacified the Nine Realms, and benefited from the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations, his talent, aptitude, and Dao heart have all undergone a qualitative change.

The current Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor is fully qualified to be called the strongest prodigy of the Heavenly Demon Clan in millions of years.

The duel between these two unparalleled geniuses shattered the heavens from the very beginning, with cracks spreading across millions of miles of void, as if two Void Refinement Supremes were engaged in a great battle.

"The Heavenly Demon Clan is incredibly powerful."

"It seems they are no longer the same as before, we absolutely cannot hold back."

In the void, all the half-step Void Refinement cultivators had murderous intent in their eyes, knowing that there was no turning back now.

If they win this battle, they will obtain the life essence of Ye Linyuan, a monstrous genius at the Dao Ancestor level. This life essence may be enough for them to continue to live, or even give them the opportunity to break through to the Void Refinement Supreme realm.

If they fail, even if they manage to escape, they will likely face Ye Linyuan's wrath sooner or later.

"Kill, kill, kill! For the opportunity to prove the Dao and refine the void!"

The half-step Void Refinement old monsters went berserk, each wielding various divine weapons, and unleashed the most intense collision in history against the Xuan Yuan Cave Heaven.

At the very moment their battle armors clashed, in the deepest part of the forbidden land of the Realm Ruins, a Shura King with four pairs of arms opened his eyes.

His eyes pierced through the void as he looked coldly at the very center of the Haotian Ancient Realm and said, "That Xuanyuan Daoist has obtained quite a few treasures. I'm afraid these people can't stop them from achieving Dao."

"We still need to send someone to completely eliminate this person."

In this dark void, besides the eight-armed Asura King, there were two other figures that resembled gods and demons.

One person with six pairs of incomplete wings is the Refining Void Demon Lord of the Fallen Demon Clan.

The other person was a spider that blotted out the sky, a rare true spirit species in the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm called the Six Hell Spider King, whose cultivation had reached the Refinement of Emptiness realm.

At this moment, the Fallen Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint in his pupils, and said, "Our injuries have not yet healed, and we need to oversee the Demon Lord's revival. We cannot leave this place easily."

"We have no choice but to send the Asura Demon Guards to block the way."

The eight-armed Asura King nodded and looked down into the darkness before him.

In the vast darkness, on a petrified, dark land, stood three hundred ancient Asura statues with three heads and six arms.

As the Eight-Armed Asura King lowered his gaze, the stone essence on the bodies of these Asura statues slowly fell away, eventually transforming into three hundred peerless Asura demon guards with an aura that could overwhelm mountains and rivers.

"We have met the Asura King."

The moment the Asura Demon Guards awoke, they all bowed down to the Eight-Armed Asura King.

Looking at these Asura demons, the Eight-Armed Asura King nodded, a hint of regret in his eyes.

As the royal family of the demonic path, the Asura clan members have cultivation levels of at least the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm by adulthood. The best among them can even give birth to three heads and six arms, and their cultivation levels generally have the potential to reach the half-step Void Refinement stage or even the Void Refinement Supreme stage.

The three hundred Asura Demon Guards before them were all elite members of the Asura clan, each a half-step Void Refinement expert with three heads and six arms.

These Asura Guards were the personal guards of Garuda Demon Emperor, numbering as many as three thousand at their peak, including ten six-armed Asura Kings at the Void Refinement Realm.

Unfortunately, the resistance from the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm during the ancient war was too fierce. In that battle, the Asura Demon Guards were almost completely destroyed, with only 300 of the 3,000 Asura Demon Guards remaining, and all ten Asura Kings perishing.

Even the supreme commander of the Asura Guard, the Eight-Armed Asura King, a top-tier Void Refinement Realm expert at the seventh level, was severely injured and on the verge of death by a single sword strike from the Lord of Haotian Realm. To this day, he has only recovered half of his strength.

"With these three hundred Asura Demon Guards, even a Void Refinement Supreme can be easily hunted down, so breaking through the mountain-protecting formation of Xuan Yuan Daoist should not be difficult."

The Six Hell Spider King spoke, saying with some regret, "It's a pity that before our master went into slumber, he sealed off the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm with the Asura Forbidden Technique, preventing even Void Refinement Supremes from entering the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm."

"Otherwise, with the resources of the Asura royal family, they could easily hunt down and kill that Xuan Yuan Daoist by simply sending a few Void Refinement Supremes."

"The master sealed off the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm to prevent himself from being ambushed when he was resurrected. After all, the human race is not an easy opponent, and those hypocritical cultivators in the Eternal Heaven Realm may not want to see the master resurrected and return."

The Eight-Armed Asura King spoke, then said with a deep gaze, "But it will be soon. Once Master recovers and absorbs the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, his cultivation will advance even further. Those two humans will have no choice but to swallow their anger." (End of Chapter)
