Cangling Immortal Clan

"A...human holy son?"

The girl was initially delighted, but soon a look of surprise appeared on her face.

As one of the Hundred Clans, the Spirit Deer Clan's combat strength is actually not very strong, even ranking relatively low among the Hundred Clans.

However, the Spirit Deer Clan has a special status because the ancestor of this lineage has reached the Perfection of the Body Integration Realm and has mastered the Heaven-Mending Technique, one of the most wondrous arts in the world.

Because the Heaven-Mending Technique can repair the foundation, allowing cultivators to replenish their spiritual roots and foundation, and the human race's spiritual medicines and beast-breeding techniques are also of great use to the Spirit Deer Clan, the two races have always had a good relationship.

The fact that the Lord of Haotian Realm was able to complete his spatial spiritual root back then was largely due to the Heaven-Mending Essence of this lineage.

Therefore, Ye Linyuan did not intend to use force against this Spirit Deer Clan girl. He simply said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, please be careful. Let's stop here."

"Ah."

The Spirit Deer Clan girl nodded and immediately said, "Let me witness the power of the Human Race's Holy Son."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Spirit Deer Clan girl unleashed her full power, sending out a seven-colored immortal light that pierced through the air and transformed into a dazzling beam of light that slashed towards Ye Linyuan.

This is the Seven Absolute Immortal Light, an innate divine ability of the Immortal Deer Clan. If an ordinary cultivator at the seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm were to be directly hit, they would likely be seriously injured and perish.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, this woman probably has mastered a superior law at the perfect level, and her combat power is comparable to that of a human at the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm.

The core essence of cultivation in the Refining Void Realm is the power of laws, and the ultimate pursuit is to achieve a more powerful and perfect law. Therefore, the importance of the realm is not the only criterion for measurement.

Because at this level, whether it's the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of Void Refinement, or even the higher tenth level, whether one is truly powerful or not ultimately depends on the strength of the laws one has cultivated.

The laws are further divided into four levels: ordinary, superior, top-level, and supreme.

The True Spirit Ancient Clan is different from the Human Clan; some members of the True Spirit Ancient Clan can only cultivate to the seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm at most.

However, some races, due to their innate talent, can cultivate to the pinnacle of perfect laws simply by following the proper methods, so their strength may not be weaker than some human cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of the Void Refinement stage.

The advantage of the human race lies in its greater adaptability. It can cultivate different laws and then integrate these different laws into its main law, ultimately cultivating a top-tier or even supreme law.

Despite being only at the seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm, the Spirit Deer Clan girl before them should be considered one of the most talented members of the Spirit Deer Clan, having already mastered a superior and perfect law.

This level of strength is comparable to that of some humans at the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm.

Even with such strength, it was still far inferior to Ye Linyuan. At this moment, with a flick of Ye Linyuan's finger, a beam of myriad transformation immortal light pierced through and instantly dispersed the seven absolute immortal light.

Then, the myriad immortal lights transformed into an ancient bell, which immediately suppressed the Spirit Deer Clan girl on the arena.

"I surrender."

Seeing that she was no match for him, the Spirit Deer Clan girl immediately turned pale and admitted defeat.

Seeing this, Ye Linyuan casually dispersed the ancient bell, then nodded and said, "Your defeat at my hands is not unjust. With your talent, if you cultivate for another few hundred thousand years, you might have a chance to win one or two more rounds of duels."

"I will work hard."

The Spirit Deer Clan girl clenched her fist, then gritted her teeth and said, "My name is Lu Lingyao. I hope that a million years from now, I will have the chance to see you again on the arena."

Ye Linyuan smiled, calmly got up and left without answering her question.

"..."

"You, the current Holy Son of the human race, seem to possess considerable strength."

Just as Ye Linyuan was fighting the Spirit Deer Clan girl, several powerful figures in the sky were observing everything side by side.

A woman dressed in nine-colored robes stood side by side with two human Dao Ancestors, calmly looking at Ye Linyuan's back.

This woman was the progenitor of the Spirit Deer Clan, and also a powerful ancestor who had achieved perfect integration.

"He has mastered the extraordinary art of refining spirits, so his strength is naturally extraordinary."

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits spoke, and then said, "His foundation is slightly flawed. I would like to ask you to use the Heaven-Mending Technique to make up for it."

"His foundation is slightly weakened because he has not survived the tribulation of lightning. It will not have a big impact on him. Even if I use the Heaven-Mending Technique to make up for it, he will probably still find it difficult to break through to the Integration Realm."

The Spirit Deer Ancestor spoke slowly and deliberately, and then said, "Alright, when his cultivation reaches its limit, he can come to me for help. I will personally use the miraculous technique of mending the heavens to make up for this slight deficiency."

"However, regarding Lingyao..."

"This matter is easy." The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits smiled slightly, then said calmly, "I will do my best to help."

"it is good."

The progenitor of the spirit deer nodded and said nothing more.

The duel with the Spirit Deer Clan girl was just a minor episode; the battle among the hundred clans is still ongoing.

This first round of the hundred races' battle will last for a whole year. Ye Linyuan and Lu Lingyao's battle ended quickly, but this first round of the battle has only just begun.

Because experts at the Void Refinement level possess extremely strong vitality, if the strength difference between the two sides is not significant and there is enough space for them to fight, then a battle could very likely last for tens of thousands of years.

The Hundred Races Battle only had a one-year timeframe, which wasn't exactly favorable for a Void Refinement Supreme who excelled at prolonged battles.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the time of the assembled Dao Ancestors and Void Refining Supremes present was precious, and they could not wait here for tens of thousands of years.

A year is the limit, just enough time for everyone to fight with all their might. If they still cannot determine a winner, the final winner will be determined by the strength and injuries of both sides.

Ye Linyuan had finished his battle early and then turned his attention to watching the other people's duels, but he quickly lost interest.

Because the holy sons of all races had already finished their battles long ago.

Those who can get into a stalemate with a strong enemy are generally not particularly amazing opponents, and are not worth Ye Linyuan's attention.

As time went by, three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Linyuan had engaged in three duels in succession.

After three consecutive battles, more than half of the more than 7,000 people had been eliminated, leaving only about 1,000 geniuses from various races still alive.

Those who have survived to this day are basically quasi-saints among the hundred races, and they are all the best among the quasi-saints.

"Of those who made it into the top 1,000, only about twenty of my human race remain."

After the third round finally decided the winner, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.

It must be admitted that the top ten powerful races are truly formidable. Currently, they occupy nearly 60% of the top 1,000 spots, while the other 90 races combined only account for about 40%.

Even some weaker fused races only had one or two people barely squeeze into the top 1,000.

This is even with the fact that the holy sons of each race will not fight each other in the first three rounds; otherwise, many holy sons of fusion races would probably be eliminated early.

"The battles to come are going to be interesting."

Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then stepped onto the arena. Soon, an alien cultivator at the eighth level of the Void Refinement realm appeared opposite him, a powerful figure with a golden halo of sunlight shining brightly across the heavens behind him.

At the same time, a magnificent sound came from the sky.

"The third quasi-saint son of the Sun God Clan versus the human race's saint son, Daoist Xuanyuan."

Ye Linyuan's brow twitched slightly, and a calm expression appeared in his pupils.

The Sun God Clan is extremely powerful, ranking among the top ten strongest clans. They have mastered the extraordinary art of offensive techniques, namely the Eternal Blazing Sun.

This technique contains boundless power and is known as one of the strongest offensive techniques. Once activated, it can unleash up to nine times the attack power.

Of course, apart from the progenitor of the Sun God Clan, the Refinement Void Supreme of the Sun God Clan can only master three or four levels of the Eternal Blazing Sun at most.

Even so, the Sun God Clan's strength was unmatched among their peers, and they were hailed as the strongest race with the greatest ability to restrain the Nine Nether Demon Realm.

"The Holy Son of Humanity."

At this moment, the man, as golden as the sun, slowly descended and carefully observed Ye Linyuan, saying, "If you were to encounter someone else, you would at least be in the top 100."

"It's a pity you met me too early; your journey should end here."

"Is that so?" Ye Linyuan said calmly, his hands behind his back. "You are welcome to try."

"Humph--"

"Remember my name—Holy Sun Heavenly Prison!"

Suddenly, the Holy Sun Heavenly Prison spoke, then transformed into a great sun that blazed across the sky, manifesting endless chains of divine laws that engulfed Ye Linyuan.

This Saint Yang Heavenly Prison cultivator has reached the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm, clearly having mastered a top-tier law and cultivated it to perfection.

At this moment, the attack unleashed an unparalleled power among those of the same level. Among the entire human race, only Ye Linyuan and Ni Chaoyuan were confident in their ability to fight him head-on.

"Does the third quasi-saint son possess such strength?"

Ye Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and with a flip of his palm, the nine laws appeared in the sky, transforming into a Primordial Chaos Sword that cleaved through the chains of laws, and with unstoppable power, it slashed towards the Holy Sun Heavenly Prison.

Such a strike was so powerful that it was unstoppable, and even the Holy Sun Heavenly Prison was forced to retreat.

"Ninth level of Void Refinement, truly worthy of being the Holy Son of the Human Race!"

Faced with such an attack, the Holy Sun Heavenly Prison immediately realized that it could not withstand it, and immediately transformed into a great sun that rose into the sky, bursting forth with an incomparably brilliant eternal sun.

"Since that's the case, then I'll let you witness the power of the Great Dao Mystic Arts of my Sun God Clan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Sun Heavenly Prison erupted completely, transforming into a world-destroying Sun God Spear that hurtled towards Ye Linyuan.

Saint Yang Tianyu's cultivation level was already as high as the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm. Such a full-force attack was incredibly terrifying, and it even vaguely touched the realm of the tenth level of the Void Refinement Realm.

Even the most invincible human genius at the tenth level of the Void Refinement Realm would likely need to be on high alert to face this attack.

If it were someone like Ni Chaojun, who was at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm, and dared to take this attack head-on, he would probably only be courting death.

"The Holy Sun Heavenly Prison has gone all out."

"The Great Dao techniques of the Sun God Clan are astonishing, even if they only awaken a tiny bit of power. Unless one has mastered the supreme laws at the perfect level, no one can withstand this attack."

Above the sky, a group of Nascent Soul Dao Ancestors discussed among themselves, all looking down with curiosity.

They didn't believe Ye Linyuan would be defeated so easily, but they also wanted to see how Ye Linyuan would block the attack.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Ye Linyuan finally made his move.

He stood calmly in place, motionless, with the nine laws behind him merging into one, transforming into a gigantic hand of chaos that swept across the sky and instantly suppressed the Eternal Sun in the void.

"Impossible, how could you possibly control the power of the nine laws?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Sheng Yang Tian Yu was immediately horrified.

Unfortunately, Ye Linyuan had no chance to waste words with him. He saw the primordial giant hand, formed by the fusion of the nine Mahayana laws, suddenly erupt and forcefully crush the Eternal Blazing Sun.

If it weren't for the life-saving restriction activating at the last moment, the Holy Sun Heavenly Prison would probably have already perished under this attack.

"By fusing the power of the nine laws, this power is already comparable to the supreme law."

"This power is so peculiar. Could it be that this person has already refined the Primordial Chaos Pearl using the wondrous art of spirit refining?"

At the same time, an ancient ancestor of the Celestial Race who had achieved the Fusion Stage spoke up in the sky, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, all the Dao Ancestors present looked at the two human Dao Ancestors.

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits nodded and then said calmly, "He possesses the wondrous art of refining spirits. If we don't give the Primordial Chaos Pearl to him, who else can we give it to?"

"I see."

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded slightly, as if they understood something at that moment.

The Primordial Pearl of the human race is of immeasurable value. It is one of the top-tier Xuan Tian treasures that has been treasured since the Primordial Era. If Ye Linyuan really refines this item with the Spirit Refining Technique, it seems reasonable that he could control the Nine Laws.

Thinking of this, an ancient ancestor stroked his beard and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that in this battle, the human race may have a chance to enter the top thirty."

"I'm afraid it's more than that. If this person uses up all his spiritual refinement opportunities, he could probably at least be in the top ten or even the top three."

An ancient member of the Kunpeng clan spoke up, sighing with some regret: "It's a pity that this person is greedy and can't handle things properly. I'm afraid he will never be able to reach the realm of a Dao Ancestor in this lifetime."

"Otherwise, the human race would probably give birth to an invincible Dao Ancestor and return to the ranks of the supreme races."

Upon hearing this, all the Dao Ancestors present showed expressions of regret, but a faint smile was hidden deep in their eyes.

The human race holds a special position. If a Dao Ancestor who has achieved the Fusion Realm were to be born, it would pose a huge threat to all of them.

Fortunately, Ye Linyuan didn't try to do too much at once. If Ye Linyuan had chosen the path of specializing in one path, then they might not have been able to handle this matter openly.

After all, the two Dao Ancestors of the human race were too important, and they did not want to completely break ties with the human race.

At that point, the most they could do was the same as before: use the Nine Nether Demon Realm to get rid of Ye Linyuan.

Of course, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this. For example, during the war that destroyed the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, someone secretly used the Asura Demon Clan to eliminate the Lord of Haotian Realm.

Getting back to the main point, after confirming that Ye Linyuan was following the path of cultivating multiple paths simultaneously, the combined Dao Ancestors of various races became less wary of him and stopped paying too much attention to him.

Time flew by, and the Hundred Races War had completed three more rounds amidst the hustle and bustle. Ye Linyuan easily defeated three formidable enemies in succession, entering the top two hundred of the Hundred Races War. (End of Chapter)
