Cangling Immortal Clan

Ye Linyuan fell silent, admitting that he had originally overestimated the accuracy of his estimate.

Once he breaks through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm, he will indeed be able to be compared with the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and truly step into the ranks of the universe's pinnacle.

But they are all ancient monsters who have lived for tens of millions of years. These Dao Ancestors who have merged into one are all extremely cunning. How could they possibly give him a chance to break through peacefully?
Even knowing this, Ye Linyuan did not turn around and run away.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor threatened him with the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, forcing him to leave the Eternal Heaven Realm for a battle, but this was only one of his methods; the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's methods were definitely not limited to this.

Even if he escapes back to the Eternal Heaven Realm, it will be meaningless. The ten Dao Ancestors of the Eternal Heaven Realm would love for the human race and the Nine Nether Demon Emperor to suffer mutual destruction. They would be grateful if they didn't add fuel to the fire, and they would never actually lend a hand.

After all, compared to the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, an enemy far away in the distant realm, Ye Linyuan was a threat that was right at hand.

They can tolerate the existence of half-step Mahayana cultivators in the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm, but they will absolutely not sit idly by and watch as one half-step Mahayana cultivator after another emerges in the Eternal Heaven Realm.

Therefore, his escape back to the Eternal Heaven Realm is meaningless and will only bring great disaster to the holy land of the human race.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan calmly said, "I have calculated that it will take at least three million years for your injuries to fully recover."

"If we rush out of the pass now and get caught up in a tough battle, will we be able to keep our injuries under control?"

Having said all he could, Ye Linyuan revealed the full extent of his cultivation, with all the great Daos coiling like true dragons across the sky, his aura almost crushing the ancient rivers and mountains.

Faced with such power, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was finally moved, but his killing intent in his eyes became even sharper as he said, "Although my injuries have not yet healed, it is enough for me to kill you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Longevity Sword in the hand of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor surged with endless sword energy, transforming into a starry river of swords that slashed towards Ye Linyuan.

The power of this sword strike penetrated the depths of the underworld; its sharp, metallic edge was almost capable of cleaving through anything, making Ye Linyuan feel extremely threatened.

Faced with such a sword strike, Ye Linyuan dared not be negligent in the slightest. He immediately activated the boundless power of the Great Dao, manifesting a chaotic sword aura that pierced through the air, and engaged in the most intense confrontation with it.

However, after just one move, the chaotic sword energy was shattered by the sword, but the residual force still sent Ye Linyuan flying.

"It's a good thing you didn't take that step, otherwise it would have really become a big deal."

After knocking Ye Linyuan away with a single move, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor did not show any joy, but instead displayed an extremely solemn expression.

He held nothing back with this sword strike; even an invincible Dao Ancestor would likely suffer a great loss if he took it head-on. Yet Ye Linyuan was unharmed, merely being knocked away.

Keep in mind that Ye Linyuan was only at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm, yet he was already able to withstand Ye Linyuan's full-force attack. If he were to break through to the late-stage of the Fusion Realm, what would he be like?
With this thought in mind, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was even more glad that his decision was correct, and immediately activated all kinds of divine powers to attack Ye Linyuan.

This exchange only deepened the shock in both sides. They were both astonished by the other's strength, as their abilities and resources far exceeded each other's expectations.

After exchanging only a hundred or so moves, Ye Linyuan had already suffered repeated losses and sustained serious injuries, gradually falling into a completely disadvantageous position.

"This can't go on."

Seeing that he was no match for Ye Linyuan if the fight continued, his eyes grew increasingly serious.

Just as he couldn't help but unleash his trump card, the Devouring Demon Lord, several figures suddenly emerged from the depths of the void.

But then, the two Dao Ancestors, Wanling and Wanyao, took the lead, unleashing the Heavenly Desolate Cauldron, a supreme treasure, to help Ye Linyuan block the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

"You go quickly, we'll stop him."

The Dao Ancestor of Myriad Medicines spoke, and at the same time, the Dao Ancestor of Xuanwu, the Primordial Ancestor of Qilin, the Spirit Ancestor, and other Great Perfection Realm Integration cultivators all made their moves, unleashing their supreme treasures to launch a fierce attack on the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

Ye Linyuan was shocked. This time, not only did the two Dao Ancestors come out together, but the human race's allies also did their best.

Unfortunately, the Dao Ancestor, who was at the perfected Integration stage, was far too weak to face the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, who was only half a step into the Mahayana realm. In just one exchange, several people were sent flying backward.

"Hurry up, let's stop him."

The Qilin Dao Ancestor spoke, his face showing extreme solemnity.

At this moment, everyone placed their hopes on Ye Linyuan, clearly prepared to risk serious injury and slumber just to protect him.

Just when everyone was about to make a decision, Ye Linyuan stepped forward decisively.

But he did not retreat an inch, and calmly stood in front of everyone, saying: "In today's battle, there is no room for retreat. Only by facing death can we fight our way to eternal peace."

Having said all he wanted to say, Ye Linyuan fully activated the Great Dao of Time and Space, and his transformed form tore through the sky, leading everyone into the Ancient Realm of the Nine Heavens.

Upon entering the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, Ye Linyuan immediately fixed his gaze on the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and solemnly said, "I would like to trouble you all to lend your treasures to enhance the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array."

In an instant, the Qilin Ancestor, the Xuanwu Ancestor, and others nodded, and one after another, they summoned the divine weapons of creation and integrated them into the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array.

In an instant, the power of the entire Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array increased exponentially, almost reaching the level of suppressing an invincible Dao Ancestor.

Millions of years ago, the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array, empowered by the nine primordial treasures, was powerful enough to withstand the attacks of the invincible Dao Ancestor.

Now, after millions of years of accumulation, the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm has risen to the limit level of a medium-sized Great Thousand World, and is further blessed by the nine reincarnation bodies that have reached the mid-stage of the Integration Realm.

Now, having obtained nine more creation treasures, the power of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array has surged once again, almost enough to suppress the combined attack of two invincible Dao Ancestors.

At this moment, Xuanwu Daozu, the number one master of all the heavenly arrays, even personally took charge of the array, cooperating with the nine reincarnation bodies to bring the power of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array to its limit.

In an instant, endless array patterns enveloped the heavens, and together with Ye Linyuan's all-out attack, they almost neutralized most of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's killing intent.

"The Great Dao of Time and Space is complete, the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array is formed."

“A bunch of ants dare to defy the might of the Great Vehicle Heaven. You are truly overestimating yourselves.”

Seeing that everyone had used the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm to block his attack, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor immediately revealed an extremely furious expression.

He unleashed his full power, pushing his skills to the limit, and forcefully activated the Longevity Sword to pierce through the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array, actually managing to force his way into this super array.

"You dare to enter the battle!"

In an instant, everyone present showed a look of horror.

They never expected that the Nine Nether Demon Emperor would dare to forcibly invade the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

It's important to understand that entering the formation alone without completely breaking through it means simultaneously fighting against both the formation and the combined attacks of the others, which is extremely dangerous.

But the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was not afraid at all. His eyes shone with an arrogant light that looked down on the eight wastelands. It was an absolute confidence.

He was confident that no one in heaven or earth could defeat him, and that he could break the formation in the shortest time and forcibly suppress Ye Linyuan in this ancient realm of the Nine Heavens.

"boom--"

In an instant, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor unleashed his full power, his overwhelming killing intent shaking the heavens, and he engaged in an unprecedented and earth-shattering duel with Ye Linyuan.

Its residual power swept across the heavens, forcefully shattering countless Great Dao Gods and turning endless chains of laws, as dazzling as immortal gold, into dust.

The two sides clashed in an earth-shattering battle, and in an instant Ye Linyuan was sent flying backward again, with cracks appearing on his body.

"I'm here to help you!"

Seeing that Ye Linyuan was no match, the Xuanwu Ancestor decisively activated the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array. In an instant, nine creation treasures and divine weapons attacked horizontally under the enhancement of the array.

With the enhancement of the formation, the power of these nine primordial treasures surpassed their limits. Each one unleashed a combat power approaching that of an invincible Dao Ancestor, pressing down on the heavens with an overwhelming force capable of suppressing everything. "Noisy!"

Despite the arrival of the nine divine weapons, the Nine Netherworld Demon Emperor showed no fear.

With a powerful punch, he sent the Heavenly Desolate Cauldron flying backward. The immense power, exceeding all human limits, left a deep fist mark on the cauldron.

Then he slashed out with his sword again, leaving a deep sword mark on the treasured Qilin Furnace.

As the Nine Nether Demon Emperor continued to unleash his power, the nine supreme treasures were almost all sent flying backward, each suffering considerable damage.

"The ultimate battle is about to begin!"

Ye Linyuan roared, unleashing the Myriad Paths Sword with a power surpassing even the limits of the Invincible Dao Ancestor, directly blocking the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor coldly manifested his divine and demonic form to resist, instantly suppressing Ye Linyuan's Myriad Dao Sword in his palm, and even using his boundless divine soul power to firmly lock onto Ye Linyuan.

"You are very strong, but... those below the half-step Mahayana stage are all ants!"

"boom--"

In an instant, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor unleashed his full power, risking the combined attack of the nine primordial treasures, manifesting an abyss formed from endless weapons.

In an instant, the abyss opened wide, and countless demonic weapons and immortal blades slashed towards Ye Linyuan.

"Oh no, it's the Immortal Treasure Trove of Immortality!"

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits suddenly cried out in alarm, revealing an expression of utter horror.

At that moment, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts and revealed expressions of extreme apprehension.

The Immortal Treasury of Longevity is the divine power of the Immortal Venerable of Longevity. The power of this divine power lies in its ability to open up an immortal treasury and then refine the essence of countless divine weapons, demonic blades, and ancient artifacts into it.

After that, one can use the Great Dao of Longevity to nurture the essence of these divine weapons and demonic blades, causing their power to continuously increase.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor has cultivated for tens of millions of years and plundered most of the Nine Nether Demon Realm's resources. Among the immortal treasures he created, there are more than a million Xuan Tian Demon Treasures and World-Destroying Demon Weapons.

These treasures have endured tens of millions of years and have been blessed with the Dao of Longevity within the Immortal Treasury, allowing their materials, power, and sustenance to be continuously enhanced.

Today, the divine power of this Immortal Treasury of Longevity has reached an unbelievable level. Even an invincible Dao Ancestor would likely be cut into pieces if he faced this attack head-on.

Unexpectedly, Ye Linyuan remained completely unmoved in the face of this attack.

"It's now!"

He stood calmly in mid-air, and suddenly a dark dot appeared in front of him, a being that resembled a black hole.

It appeared calmly in the void, with forty-nine ancient dark beads constantly swirling around it, forming a terrifying suction force that devoured everything.

This power is like a black hole, capable of devouring everything in the world. As it continues to absorb, endless demonic weapons and divine blades are sucked into it.

In an instant, countless weapons turned to dust. The weapons that struck the black hole were all sucked into it.

"The Devouring Heaven Technique?" The Nine Nether Demon Emperor's pupils instantly turned cold, then he said indifferently, "Then I'll let you devour as much as you want."

In an instant, under the full power of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, countless demon soldiers surged into the black hole.

In a short period of time, the forty-nine magic orbs around them exploded one by one. The black hole at the core held on for a long time, but eventually exploded completely after devouring more than half of the magic soldiers.

"puff--"

Once everything had calmed down, a weak figure emerged from the darkness.

The Devouring Demon Lord's face was extremely pale, and he said with an endless sigh, "This is all I can do to help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Devouring Demon Lord flew into Ye Linyuan's body and fell into a long slumber.

"Demonic Body".

Seeing this, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor fell silent.

He never expected that Ye Linyuan had an invincible Dao Ancestor-level demonic body as a trump card.

Although his all-out attack had severely injured and put the Devouring Demon Lord into a deep sleep, it also destroyed the Devouring Demon Lord's natal treasure, the Devouring Demon Pearl.

However, the Devouring Demon Lord's ability to devour all things also restrained the Immortal Treasury of Longevity, which was forged from sheer numbers.

Now, the trump card, the Immortal Treasure of Immortality, has been weakened by nearly half, and its power has been greatly reduced compared to its peak.

"Nine Nether Demon Emperor, today's battle has only just begun!"

Ye Linyuan gave the Nine Nether Demon Emperor no chance to react, and instantly unleashed his full power to suppress him.

He manifested his myriad forms and forcefully charged forward, intending to use strength to attack weakness and counter the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's powerful primordial spirit but insufficient physical body.

In this epic battle, with the aid of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array and the assistance of others, the war between the two sides descended into an incredibly brutal and stalemate.

This stalemate lasted for over three thousand years, and both sides paid an enormous price without realizing it.

In the final moments of the battle, the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array was almost completely destroyed by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, and the nine creation treasures were covered with cracks, suffering unprecedented damage.

As the protagonist of the war, Ye Linyuan's physical body was covered with cracks, and terrible wounds of the Great Dao pierced through his body. It would probably take millions of years to repair it.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor was not faring well either. Several new wounds had been added to his body. What was even more terrifying was that with the extreme killing in the battle of talents, the injuries in his body that had not yet healed could no longer be suppressed.

His body was covered with terrifying wounds from the Great Dao, as tragic and domineering as a magnificent dragon torn apart.

At this moment, Ye Linyuan finally understood why the Nine Nether Demon Emperor had stormed into the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Formation.

Because the opponent cannot fight for long, once they are caught in a prolonged battle, their injuries will completely relapse or even continue to worsen.

Therefore, he wanted to finish the battle quickly, but the Nine Nether Demon Emperor underestimated Ye Linyuan's strength and the determination of Xuanwu Daozu and others to help Ye Linyuan.

"Hahaha!"

"I underestimated you, but today's battle is only the beginning."

"Between you and me, there is still a final battle."

Seeing that both sides were already severely injured, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor let out a wild laugh, then suddenly waved his sleeve and tore open a rift in the void in order to leave.

At this moment, Ye Linyuan's expression changed slightly, and he also wanted to tear through the sky and leave.

"It's too late for you two to leave now."

But in that instant, one large crack after another appeared in the void, and then an ancient cauldron came from the end of the void.

It was an ancient cauldron etched with the sun, moon, stars, and the entire universe. The moment it appeared, it completely suppressed the entire void. Then, one after another, figures of unparalleled power and influence broke through the air. (End of Chapter)
