The God of Heavens

Chapter 45: Glorious Divine Mantra, Substitute Son

"Nephew, congratulations on breaking through the Dao Palace Secret Realm."

Three days later, Lin Yu walked out of the palace where he was in seclusion, and saw his cheap senior brother standing in front of the hall, looking at him with a smile, and congratulating him happily.

“Thank you, uncle master, for your protection.” Lin Yu thanked him, otherwise he would probably be surrounded by a group of old men as soon as he went out.

"You're welcome. I originally thought it would take some time for you to break through, but now you have given me a surprise. I will take you to see the master now." Liang Jing said.

Then the two of them turned into divine rainbows and came to Zhang Lingshu's residence. They entered the palace as if they were familiar with the place. Zhang Lingshu was already waiting there.

"Yang Xuan, you are indeed gifted. You broke through the Dao Palace Secret Realm so quickly, and when you broke through, your five energies surged into the sky. It's obvious that you have a deep foundation."

Zhang Lingshu was in high spirits, his eyes full of admiration. There was also competition within the Holy Land. The higher Lin Yu's talent, the more powerful their lineage would be in the future.

"Do you want to challenge the position of the substitute Holy Son now?" Zhang Lingshu asked again.

"Yes, I'm ready." Lin Yu nodded and said confidently.

More than just being prepared, if he wasn't afraid that they would drop their jaws in shock, he would have wiped out all of Yaoguang's substitute saints before breaking through the Dao Palace. He still needed a buffer now.

"Alright, I've sent someone to summon your Senior Brother Yunlan. He's our lineage's candidate for the Saint Son position. Once you defeat him, you'll take his place and participate in the Saint Son selection in six months."

Zhang Lingshu was obviously well prepared. With a wave of his hand, he brought them to the martial arts training ground.

The martial arts arena is located in the west of Sky Island, with a radius of ten miles. After the formation pattern is activated, the space can be expanded. Disciples can fight to their heart's content on it.

The ground was covered with an unknown metal, densely packed with patterns, designed to withstand the attacks of practitioners. It still bore marks of fists, knife marks, and sword holes, and the spirit of battle permeated the air.

A young man stood on the martial arts field, with sharp eyebrows, a well-defined face and strong lines. His eyes were piercing, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his gaze was full of sharpness and intimidation.

"This is your Senior Brother Yunlan. You two should spar with each other and let me see your strength." Zhang Lingshu pointed at the young man and said,

"Yunlan, Yang Xuan is a divine body of light, don't be careless!"

"Hello, senior brother!" Lin Yu saluted.

"Junior brother, I have already reached the Perfect Dao Palace. You must show me your full strength and let me see the power of your divine body. Otherwise, I will have to go to the Holy Son Selection in half a year in your place."

Yun Lan laughed heartily, his voice bright and clear, and he was not jealous of Lin Yu at all.

He was resolute. Although his strength wasn't outstanding among the other candidate Saints, he wasn't discouraged. To him, a temporary drop in strength was merely a small dent on the long road of cultivation, far from enough to shake his faith.

"Okay, then I'll make the first move. Brother, be careful!" Lin Yu didn't hesitate and took a step forward to reach the air. A dazzling light condensed around him.

"At one point, the King of Divine Elephants preached in Hell. Suddenly, a brilliant light shone forth, dispelling the endless darkness. The ten directions of the void were shaken by this immense force, trembling 360 billion times in succession, and the universe trembled.

Atop the divine elephant, a divine flower appeared, its light dazzling and its fragrance miraculous, seeping into every inch of space in the 7.2 billion worlds..."

A low and distant chant came from Lin Yu's mouth, and the sound spread throughout the void, as if the ancient angel of light was singing a hymn.

Immediately afterwards, countless light runes burst out from the pores all over his body, converging into ancient divine patterns, wrapping around his limbs and bones.

This divine pattern originated from the power of the divine elephant deep in his origin. It circulated the blood and qi in his body, condensed into the power of the divine elephant, and transformed into runes, gushing out from his pores and surrounding his body. In an instant, the divine pattern condensed into a glorious battle armor, shining with holy light, and splashing with light, tightly wrapping Lin Yu, like the king of the divine elephant wearing armor, about to suppress the demons of hell.

This is a protective spell that Lin Yu comprehended through his comprehension of the "Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power", transforming the sun's holy power into holy light energy, embodying it in the form of divine patterns and spells, and arranging them in a secret way.

When you have practiced to a high level, once this spell is uttered, billions of angels and gods in the void will come to protect you, and you will rule the heavens and be invincible in all realms.

"Hunyuan Divine Light Technique!" Yun Lan saw that Lin Yu was making such a big move and did not dare to be careless. The golden holy light surged like a tide. While protecting himself, he attacked Lin Yu.

His body is brilliant, bathed in holy light, he holds the Yaoguang Holy Sword in his hand, and has a holy light shield on his head. He has a tall and majestic figure and a magnificent aura.

Facing such a fierce attack, Lin Yu was like an old monk in meditation, chanting incantations continuously:

"Divine flowers bloom, nectar gushes out, and nectar spills down. Hell is blessed by this, the scorched earth becomes radiant, and the wounds are moistened. Resentful spirits are soothed, obsessions dissipate, and vitality permeates..."

boom!
Lin Yu withstood Yun Lan's attack head-on, standing still, motionless, expressionless, his whole body still covered in the divine pattern armor. The divine pattern armor was restored by the spell as soon as it was slightly damaged, and it became thicker and thicker, and more divine pattern spells poured out from his pores.

In an instant, the situation in the martial arts arena changed dramatically, and sword energy crisscrossed, like silver threads cutting through the air wantonly, making sharp whistling sounds.

Yun Lan's attack was like a violent storm, with each move fierce and sword shadows weaving like a web; Lin Yu was as steady as an ancient rock, standing firm and responding calmly with an indestructible momentum. The confrontation between the two was thrilling.

"As a result, all the demons in hell were subdued..."

As the spell armor condensed into shape, Lin Yu looked like the incarnation of the King of Divine Elephants. Infinite light surged out from the void, turning the martial arts field into a world of bright glass.

The world condensed, Yun Lan was like amber, motionless, his expression frozen, suppressed on the spot.

After a while, Lin Yu put away the holy light, the glass world dissipated, Yun Lan resumed his movement, showing an expression of inexplicable shock.

"Brother, thank you for your kindness." Lin Yu said.

"Junior brother, you don't have to be so modest. My strength is indeed not as good as yours. The reputation of the Divine Body of Light is indeed well-deserved. I am convinced that you can be the substitute Holy Son." Yun Lan was very calm. He was not the kind of person whose Taoism heart would be shattered after failing once.

But he didn't expect Lin Yu to suppress him with just one move. Although Lin Yu possessed a divine body, the gap was too big. Even when he fought with the Yaoguang Saint Son in the Dao Palace Secret Realm before, he didn't feel that powerless.

Zhang Lingshu was also surprised that his carefully trained disciple could not withstand a single move from Lin Yu. However, Lin Yu did have an invincible demeanor when fighting.

"Yang Xuan, since you have defeated Yun Lan, you will be the substitute Holy Son from today." Zhang Lingshu said, and then asked Lin Yu:

"What's the name of the mysterious technique you're performing? Did you inherit it from some divine being of light?"

"This is a divine art I created after breaking through the Dao Palace Secret Realm and gaining a deeper understanding of the origin of my own divine body, combined with the Yaoguang Holy Light Art." Lin Yu replied,

"I'm using it for the first time today, so there are still many imperfections. I'm naming it the Glorious God King Spell."

"I was defeated by a magical power I created myself..." Yun Lan was really a little autistic now.

"You can defeat Yun Lan with just a rudimentary divine art... not only is your origin powerful, but your comprehension is also incredible." Zhang Lingshu was dumbfounded, his face pale with astonishment, and his heart was deeply shocked.

"It seems that becoming the King of Slashing Dao is not your final destination. You are expected to reach the realm of the founder of a sect."
