Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

at the same time.

Central sacred mountain.

The Grand Hall of the Pinnacle.

Lin Yan, clad in crimson armor, stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the hall.

Before him floated a jade slip emitting a faint glow.

The jade slip contained the latest information about the second division.

Click.

Lin Yan's fingertips twitched slightly.

A wisp of dark red flame leaped out, instantly burning the jade slip into nothingness.

He turned around.

A rare ripple appeared in those usually calm and collected eyes.

Space Avenue.

Reversal of power.

He withstood Gu Jianyi's Guiyi sword intent with his bare body without suffering any damage.

Lin Yan took a deep breath.

Shocked.

It was truly shocking.

He knew Gu Jianyi's background very well.

Although that sword fanatic from the Hunyuan Dao Palace was only a half-step into the Reverse Power realm, the penetrating power of that fatal sword strike was so great that even he dared not be so careless as to use his physical body to withstand it head-on.

We must use the Burning Void Law to dissolve it in advance.

And that person named Su Yu actually withstood it all with his bare body.

"Global Business Alliance..."

Lin Yan murmured the name.

An obscure little power actually harbors a monster of this caliber.

but.

After the initial shock.

Lin Yan's eyes regained their extreme calm and depth.

He raised his right hand.

In the palm of your hand.

Three rings of flame, each a different color and radiating an aura of annihilation, slowly emerged.

Intertwined, overlapping.

It transformed into a perfect, dark golden divine halo.

The three calamities extinguished the flames.

This is his trump card, and also his principle.

"The Great Path of Space is indeed difficult to deal with."

Lin Yan looked at the divine ring in his hand, his tone calm and exuding an unquestionable confidence.

"but."

"As long as my fire can burn through dimensions."

"Space cannot confine me."

hum.

A ripple spread through the space inside the main hall.

An aged figure slowly materialized.

Jinzun.

He looked at his spirited apprentice, his old face, etched with the wrinkles of time, revealing a solemn expression.

"Yan'er".

Jin Zun spoke, his voice hoarse.

"You've seen the intelligence."

"That Su Yu is a huge variable."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

"Your disciple understands."

"This person's talent is no less than mine, as he can deduce the Great Dao of Space to the point of reversal."

Jin Zun sighed.

"Not just the Great Way."

"His physical body is too bizarre."

"Even that old guy Xingyun misjudged him; this person's physical defense has probably reached an unbelievable level."

Jin Zun looked at Lin Yan with an unusually solemn expression.

"Yan'er".

"Just to be on the safe side."

"I suggest we borrow a passage."

Borrowing a path.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan frowned slightly.

"Immortal King continued," said the Lord of Ash.

"You personally reshaped my physical body with the Flames of Burning Void."

"We are fundamentally on the same wavelength, with no repulsion between us."

"I have already reached the Supreme Realm."

"If this supreme fire Dao is temporarily stored within your body..."

"Your strength can instantly leap to the Supreme level."

A glint of light flashed in Jin Zun's eyes.

"By then."

"The mere spatial path of the Reverse Power Realm is nothing but a paper window before you."

"Hold it in your hand and pinch it."

This is an absolutely safe and reliable solution.

They directly crushed him with the vast difference in their realms.

however.

Lin Yan shook his head.

His expression was calm and composed, without the slightest hesitation.

"Master, there's no need."

Lin Yan looked at Jin Zun, his tone restrained yet revealing the pride of a martial artist.

"I am confident."

"It's just going against the tide of power."

"My Three Calamities Annihilation Ring is enough to incinerate all laws that defy authority."

"If you rely on external forces when you encounter a powerful enemy, it will disrupt your invincible Dao heart."

He wanted to win fair and square.

Jin Zun looked at Lin Yan.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.

It's a good thing that my apprentice has this kind of ambition.

but.

Just now.

boom--!!!

The main hall at the summit of the central sacred mountain suddenly trembled violently.

A vast, cold, and utterly emotionless supreme pressure.

It happened in an instant!

Dimensional solidification.

Even the Supreme Realm expert, Jinzun, felt a sense of suffocation under this oppressive force.

Supreme God!

The will of the supreme being deepest within the central sacred mountain has descended.

"Lin Yan".

A completely flat sound exploded directly in Lin Yan's mind.

This is not a discussion.

It was a notification, not a formality.

"Accept passage."

Lin Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

Despite the overwhelming pressure, his back remained straight.

"Ancestor."

Lin Yan's voice was low and deep.

"With my own strength, I can also suppress all enemies."

"No need to detour."

A brief silence.

The will of the Supreme God resounded once more.

It exudes a sense of rationality and coldness.

"This match is not just a battle of personal pride on your part."

"It's not a stepping stone for you to hone your Dao heart."

"It concerns the mining rights to 50% of the Chaos Origin Crystal."

"This concerns the accumulation of the sacred mountain's foundation for the next 100,000 years."

"No changes are allowed."

The logic of the supreme god is always to maximize interests.

"That Su Yu, his physical body remains a mystery."

"If you overestimate your abilities, what if you lose?"

"Mount Shenshan, we can't afford to gamble with that one thing."

Lin Yan fell silent.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

"By relying on the Great Way."

The voice of the Supreme God is beyond question.

"If you can win, you don't have to."

"But if we can't win."

"We absolutely must use it!"

"First, we must remain on the central sacred mountain."

The oppressive aura slowly dissipated.

The main hall fell silent once more.

Lin Yan stood still.

Head down.

a long time.

He slowly loosened his clenched fists.

He exhaled a breath of hot, stale air.

He is a person who considers the big picture.

He was well aware of the importance of the Chaos Origin Crystal.

To become a supreme god in the future, I need such top-tier resources.

not to mention.

In the future, he will also seek revenge against the ancient gods.

Without substantial resources to support it, everything is just empty talk.

"Disciple understands."

Lin Yan raised his head and looked at Jin Zun.

His gaze returned to its deep and restrained state.

"Please, Master, grant me passage."

……

Second Division.

Floating divine island.

The game progressed faster than anyone expected.

Ever since Gu Jianyi's fatal sword strike was shattered by Su Yu's shoulder.

The outcome of the entire second division was completely decided.

Su Yu sat in a corner of the preparation area.

Every time it was his turn to play.

The spatial path of the Reverse Power Realm unfolded silently.

Dimensional deprivation.

The opponent was either pressed down to the ground by that terrifying force, unable to move.

Alternatively, after experiencing that despairing dimensional gap, one could simply raise their hand and admit defeat.

No one could force Su Yu to use a second move.

even.

There was no one to force him to raise his hand.

Relaxed.

Feeling comfortable.

Like taking a leisurely stroll.

Half a day.

Su Yu won first place in the second division without any doubt.

They successfully advanced to the final eight.

When the referee announces the result.

The audience was silent.

No one cheered; there was only a deep sense of awe.

Su Yu stepped off the stage.

His expression was calm and composed.

Ao Ying and Ao Jue immediately came forward and followed respectfully behind him.

"Master, you've worked hard."

Ao Ying said softly.

Su Yu nodded slightly without saying anything.

This amount of exercise doesn't even qualify as a warm-up.

soon.

The results for the other seven divisions have also been released.

On the enormous crystal monument, eight names shone brightly.

First Division, Lin Yan.

Second Division, Su Yu.

The third division, Lei Yu.

……

The top eight teams have been officially selected.

Aside from Su Yu, who suddenly emerged as a dark horse.

The other seven are all peerless prodigies from various top forces and hidden sects.

Most of them are half-step reverse power, or even reverse power realm.

The true showdown of the titans is about to begin.

……

The ancient divine race's stronghold.

Located in a vast sea of ​​lightning on the eastern side of the central sacred mountain.

Inside a magnificent palace built entirely of lightning-struck wood.

Lei Yu, dressed in a purple robe, sat upright in the main seat.

All around him, fine purple lightning flickered and disappeared.

Half a step against power.
