Cangling Immortal Clan

After entering the top 200, Ye Linyuan finally encountered an opponent who was somewhat worthy of attention.

Because in this seventh round of the great battle, Ye Linyuan encountered his first real opponent, a Saint Son of an ancient clan who had achieved the Fusion Stage.

"The Holy Son of the Shadow Clan".

Ye Linyuan looked at the person in front of him, a faint chill appearing in his eyes.

The Shadow Clan is one of the ancient divine clans. They are a race born from the laws of the Great Dao, skilled in assassination and concealment, and able to grow stronger through slaughter.

Humans and Shadow Clan are mortal enemies, and given the chance, they will definitely fight to the death.

"Human race."

At the same time, the Shadow Clan's Holy Son on the opposite side also smiled.

He strolled over calmly and said indifferently, "You'd better be careful, my blade doesn't discriminate."

Ye Linyuan remained silent, standing calmly on the arena, with strands of law power merging behind him, transforming into a Primordial Sword that slashed forward.

"Humph--"

Faced with Ye Linyuan's sudden attack, the Shadow Clan's Holy Son seemed to have anticipated it, instantly disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, the Shadow Clan Dao Ancestor above the sky sneered: "My Shadow Clan's current Holy Son has unparalleled talent, and his mastery of the Shadow Law is already close to the highest level."

"Although your human lad is strong, he has only been cultivating for a short time, and I'm afraid he may not be able to defeat my race's holy son."

"Is it?"

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits smiled faintly but did not answer his question.

At that moment, the battle on the arena broke out instantly. The Shadow Clan's Holy Son, hidden in the void, unleashed countless dark swords of law towards Ye Linyuan.

This Shadow Clan Holy Son truly lives up to his reputation as a Holy Son of his generation. The power he casually wields is enough to make even the most talented geniuses change color. Even if the Reverse Tide Monarch were to face him, his chances of winning would probably not exceed 30%.

Unfortunately, this level of attack was still not enough for Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan's body was surrounded by a myriad of sword domains, and in that world of sword intents, he seemed to be an immortal and indestructible sword god, impervious to all laws.

"cut--"

Seeing that he couldn't break through the Myriad Transformations Sword Domain, the Shadow Clan's Holy Son, hidden in the shadows, suddenly erupted, unleashing a blood-red ancient sword radiating a killing aura as he slashed across the sky.

"Blood Shadow Divine Sword".

At the same time, the assembled Dao Ancestors in the sky looked up and many of them showed a look of surprise.

An ancient ancestor from the Spirit Deer Clan couldn't help but say, "I never imagined he could refine the Blood Shadow Divine Sword. It seems the Shadow Clan has truly produced a potential cultivator."

Upon hearing this, both of the human ancestors showed a solemn expression.

The Blood Shadow Divine Sword has an extraordinary origin. It is one of the Ten Great Mysterious Heaven Divine Swords of the Primordial Era, and also a Ten-Patterned Mysterious Heaven Treasure Ancient Sword. Its power ranks thirty-seventh among all the Mysterious Heaven Treasures in the Eternal Heaven Realm.

However, divine weapons are inherently arrogant. This Blood Shadow Divine Sword is not something that ordinary people can control. Throughout the entire Shadow Clan, only seven people have been able to control it at the Void Refinement Realm.

These seven people include the current Dao Ancestor of the Shadow Clan, while the rest have either perished or become part of the Shadow Clan's foundation.

"Do you want it?"

In the blink of an eye, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines communicated.

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits shook his head and calmly said, "It's just a ten-patterned Xuan Tian Supreme Treasure; it won't cause much trouble."

"boom--"

Just as everyone was discussing it, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

But when the Blood Shadow Divine Sword slashed into the sword domain, it suddenly disappeared completely as if it had sunk into the sea. Then, a thirty-three-story ancient pagoda came down from the sky to suppress it.

In an instant, the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers, sun and moon, everything was suppressed by this thirty-three-layered ancient pagoda, and all means of concealment were exposed.

"Do not--"

The Shadow Clan's Holy Son was instantly blasted out of the void by the Myriad Transformation Immortal Tower. Having lost his means of concealment, he was powerless to turn the tide and was sent flying backward by the Myriad Transformation Immortal Tower.

The terrifying power of destruction crashed down, instantly shattering the Shadow Clan's Holy Son's physical body, and even his primordial spirit was completely annihilated under the immense pressure of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower.

Ye Linyuan acted too quickly, so quickly that his opponent didn't even have time to beg for mercy before being completely annihilated.

"You dare!"

Above the sky, the Shadow Clan Ancestor suddenly flew into a rage and immediately tried to attack Ye Linyuan, but was easily blocked by the Myriad Spirits Ancestor with a wave of his sleeve.

But the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits smiled slightly and calmly said, "The battle is not over yet, why are you in such a hurry, fellow Daoist?"

"You humans are ruthless. My Shadow Clan's Holy Son has already been defeated, why do you still have to use such deadly methods?"

The Shadow Clan Dao Ancestor's eyes turned cold, and a boundless killing intent emerged in his pupils.

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "On the arena, as long as one hasn't admitted defeat, the battle is not over."

"Your Shadow Clan Holy Son is skilled in assassination and sneak attacks, how dare he give you a chance to breathe?"

"you--"

The Shadow Clan Dao Ancestor's eyes turned cold with anger, and he decisively withdrew and left.

At this moment, everyone noticed Ye Linyuan's Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower. Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The power of this treasure is probably comparable to a quasi-Creation Immortal Weapon, but its quality seems to be limited to the Xuan Tian Spiritual Treasure."

"This is a super-large composite array artifact. It should have been made in conjunction with the opponent's foundation, which is hundreds of times stronger than that of an opponent of the same level. So although its quality is a bit lower, it is no weaker than a creation immortal weapon under the blessing of the array."

A Dao Ancestor whose cultivation had reached the Perfection of the Integration Realm spoke up. This was the founder of the Refining Heaven Clan, who had absolute authority in the crafting of spiritual treasures. He clearly recognized the extraordinary nature of Ye Linyuan's treasure.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and someone else said, "He can't bite off more than he can chew. He's just from a small place. He wants everything, but that will only lead him down a dead end."

"There was no other way. He was born in the Black Tide, and his foundation was already set from the beginning. He had no other choice."

Some of the more gentle Nascent Soul Dao Ancestors spoke up, their gazes towards Ye Linyuan filled with regret and sympathy, but also less hostility and apprehension.

Those who cannot break through the Fusion stage will ultimately have their limits, no matter how strong they are.

Adding another unconventional fusion would at most provide humanity with another pillar of stability, but it would not change the current state of humanity, let alone alter the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall dynamics) of the Eternal Heaven Realm.

"Humph--"

After beheading the Shadow Clan's Holy Son, Ye Linyuan casually put away the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower, and the killing intent in his eyes slowly subsided.

The Shadow Clan's Holy Son wasn't a threat to him, but he was still a formidable opponent. If the other party knew Ye Linyuan's true strength, he would at least have a chance to surrender. The reason he was able to kill him this time was mainly because he used the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower to catch the other party off guard.

Of course, the Shadow Clan's Holy Son was just a minor incident, and whether he died or not could not affect Ye Linyuan's subsequent battles.

"We've made it into the top 100."

Ye Linyuan murmured, then looked toward the very heart of the battlefield.

At that moment, a violent tremor came from Changsheng Cliff, and then a hundred towering stone pillars rose into the air.

Ye Linyuan could see that on each of the hundred stone pillars, a world interwoven with the Great Dao was rising and falling, clearly a battlefield prepared for everyone.

The rules for the top 100 in the Hundred Races War are quite special, because those who can enter the top 100 are all invincible geniuses. If a simple elimination system were used, it would be difficult to convince everyone.

After all, without a revival round, if the first-ranked player were to meet the second-ranked player earlier, causing the second-ranked player to fall to 100th place, such a ranking would be hard to accept.

Therefore, the ranking of the top 100 is based on these 100 stone pillars.

According to the rules, each stone pillar represents a ranking, with the tallest stone pillar representing the first place in the Hundred Races War.

Each person has a maximum of three chances to compete for a ranking on the stone pillar. Once a person succeeds, they will have three more chances to compete for a ranking on the stone pillar.

Stone pillars ranked 50th or lower can be challenged by the top 200 in the Hundred Races War.

To become the number one among all races, one must seize the number one stone pillar from everyone else, and then accept challenges from the top ten, or only the top ten.

Of course, the rules for vying for the stone pillar are that it can only be a one-on-one duel, and there will be a ten-year rest period after the fierce battle.

"The Duel Monument has been erected. The initial rankings are based on your race and your own battle record. Whether you can maintain your ranking depends on your own methods."

Just then, a gentle voice came from the Heavenly Pillar.

Ye Linyuan's brow twitched slightly as he noticed that the powerful figures from all the races were taking to the air, with the ten most powerful clans' holy sons even ascending directly to the top ten Heavenly Steles.

The remaining top fifty Heavenly Steles are mostly occupied by the quasi-saint sons of the ten powerful clans, or the saint sons of powerful races.

Humans do not have the strength and status because their initial ranking is relatively low, with an initial position of only around sixty.

However, with Ye Linyuan's strength, he quickly fought his way up without encountering much resistance along the way.

Because the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower is too powerful, Ye Linyuan, who possesses this treasure, is at least comparable to the holy sons of the ten strongest clans. No one who has not cultivated the strongest law can contend with it.

After several rounds of battles, Ye Linyuan successfully rose to sixteenth place.

"The top sixteen in the Hundred Clans Conference".

Ye Linyuan murmured, looking at the last dozen or so figures, a faint indifference appearing in his eyes.

In fact, among all the people in the Hundred Clans Assembly, only the dozen or so in front of him could make him take them even slightly seriously.

They were either the holy sons of the ten strongest clans or invincible geniuses of ancient clans who were rare to be found even once in tens of millions of years. Each of them had mastered a supreme law at the perfect level.

Leaving aside the ten holy sons of the ten powerful clans, the remaining five are also invincible and monstrous talents.

Among them are the holy son of the Xuanwu Ancient Clan, the 'Eight Transformations Holy Venerable', the current ape lord of the Chaotic Demon Ape lineage, the holy son of the Primordial Azure Sparrow Clan, the Mountain and Marsh God Child of the Mountain Abyss lineage, and the last one is the second holy son of the Void Spirit Clan.

These powerful individuals all come from strong fusion races, and each of them has two or three or more fusion Dao Ancestors behind them.

For example, the Xuanwu Ancient Clan is a clan that has the potential to become one of the top ten powerful clans. The ancestors of the Xuanwu Clan were renowned powerhouses in the ancient times.

If the Xuanwu clan weren't so bad at fighting, they could easily be considered one of the top ten strongest clans.

Of course, the Xuanwu clan is weak in combat, but its defensive capabilities are known as the best in the heavens, because this lineage has mastered a great Dao technique called the 'Eight Evolutions Technique'.

The Eight Transformations Mystic Arts are unparalleled in defense and are closely related to formations. Legend has it that when the Immortal Venerable of Longevity was undergoing the Great Ascension Tribulation, he was able to succeed without any major danger thanks to the help of the ancestor of the Xuanwu Clan.

The Chaotic Demon Ape is the number one ape race in all the heavens, and ranks twelfth on the list of true spirits of heaven and earth.

Individuals from this lineage are no weaker than any other true spirit race in the world; it is only because their numbers are so few that they have no hope of making it into the top ten.

Currently, there are no more than ten pure-blooded Mischievous Apes in the entire Mischievous Ape clan, most of whom are living fossils who have lived for hundreds of millions of years.

The Mischievous Ape Lord before them was the first member of their clan to participate in the competition in three million years, yet he managed to fight his way into the top sixteen with his formidable strength.

As for the remaining holy sons of the Primordial Azure Sparrow Clan and the divine sons of the Mountain Abyss lineage, they all possess bloodlines that are almost like those of innate gods, giving them an overwhelming advantage even when facing the holy sons of most fusion races.

The second holy son of the Void Spirit Ancient Clan is even more special. This clan is one of the ten strongest clans, born with mastery of the Void Laws and has always been among the top ten.

In this generation, the Void Spirit Ancient Clan has produced two great holy sons. Not only has the first holy son made it all the way into the top ten, but the second holy son has also directly climbed to the thirteenth position.

Moreover, it seems he intends to challenge for a place in the top ten.

"Two members of one clan have entered the top ten. This has not happened in tens of millions of years."

"Is this kind of feat really going to happen again today?"

As the Void Spirit Ancient Clan produced two holy sons, a murmur of discussion arose from the sky, marveling at the immense strength of the Void Spirit Ancient Clan.

Ye Linyuan ignored all of this, observing the battlefield from beginning to end.

At this moment, none of the holy sons on the top ten steles had engaged in a duel. Clearly, they were still conserving their strength, preparing to accept challenges from outside the top ten first, and then decide on the ranking of the top ten after confirming that their positions in the top ten were secure.

This has always been the strategy of the ten strongest clans, which is why their holy sons have consistently remained in the top ten.

Because they are not only powerful, but they also avoid engaging in fierce battles early on, lest they suffer mutual destruction and be taken advantage of by others.

While they were not challenged, Ye Linyuan was in trouble. In a short period of time, he received three challenges, all from top quasi-saint level figures of the ten powerful clans.

"Forget it, no need to waste time."

After defeating his enemy three times in a row, Ye Linyuan was too lazy to wait any longer.

Because more than half of the top fifty powerhouses are quasi-saints of the ten strongest clans, his position prevents him from refusing challenges from the top fifty, which would eventually waste his energy.

With this in mind, Ye Linyuan strode forward and arrived before the tenth Heavenly Stele.

"So brave."

At this moment, on the stele, a man with horns on his head, a dragon tail and wings on his back, and holding a halberd slowly rose up.

But when he looked at Ye Linyuan, a cold glint appeared in his vertical pupils as he said, "Holy Son of the Human Race, how dare you blaspheme against the might of Heaven!"

"The Ancient God Clan".

Ye Linyuan murmured, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes for the first time. (End of Chapter)
