With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

Not long after Xue Luo's figure disappeared into the horizon, the violent explosions that had occurred in this abandoned heavy factory area gradually subsided.

The booming explosions slowly faded away, and the menacing spatial rifts and raging destructive storms receded like the tide, leaving only ruins and ashes floating in the sky.

The land was ravaged, with factories within a radius of several miles completely reduced to dust. Giant pits, dozens of feet deep, crisscrossed the landscape, and the scorched earth and rocks still retained violent spiritual energy fluctuations and a faint bloody aura that lingered for a long time.

hum!

The golden pagoda trembled slightly, and thousands of streams of light fell down, isolating all the remaining destructive power from the outside world and creating a safe and tranquil little world. Inside the pagoda, the people who had escaped death remained silent for a long time, with only heavy and rapid breathing rising and falling.

The life-or-death crisis that had been stretched to its limit suddenly dissipated. The group of geniuses, who had almost exhausted all their spiritual power, could no longer hold on. Many of them went limp and collapsed onto the broken ground, their clothes torn and bloodstained, their faces as pale as paper, and they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands.

Although the explosion was terrifying, it only lasted for a very short time. The main reason for such a tragic scene was that the instantaneous detonation directly ignited the vast and powerful energy of heaven and earth all at once, which was something that ordinary people could not withstand.

If Lin Yan's Devouring Heaven Array hadn't dissipated some of the fatal impact beforehand, and if Li Cang hadn't promptly summoned the Golden Ancient Pagoda to envelop everyone, then most of the people present today, including even the two veteran fourth-tier martial artists, would have been crushed into mincemeat by this all-encompassing explosion.

"We survived..."

A young prodigy murmured, his voice trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with lingering fear and relief at surviving the ordeal. His meridians throbbed with pain, his spiritual energy in his dantian was nearly depleted, and his bones and muscles felt as if they were being pierced by thousands of steel needles, yet at this moment he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the ground, silently circulating his cultivation technique, absorbing the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth, and quickly restoring his condition and cultivation level.

This young genius, who was usually aloof and arrogant and ranked second on the Jiangcheng Prodigy List, now had disheveled hair, blood still dripping from the corner of his lips, and his moon-white Taoist robe was covered with dust and bloodstains. Judging from his appearance alone, he was completely devoid of his usual composure and elegance.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the boy standing quietly beside him. The brilliance he once possessed was gone from his eyes; only a deep sense of shock and complex emotions remained.

From beginning to end, everyone in the audience was desperately burning their spiritual energy, overdrawing their blood and qi, and struggling to hold on, including the two fourth-level cultivators. Only Lin Yan stood still the whole time, his posture as upright as an ancient pine tree, calm and composed.

Not only that, but his performance during the battle was also incredibly composed. Wherever he went, no third-tier warrior could withstand a single punch from him, and this was only after seven days.

Xiao Qingxuan even suspected that if it weren't for this incident, Lin Yan would have taken the initiative to rush to the high-level battlefield and fight against that fourth-level Blood Sacrifice Sect member!

Even more terrifying is that, despite experiencing this earth-shattering explosion, Lin Yan's aura did not weaken at all; on the contrary, it exuded an aura that was even more solid and profound than before.

He's still getting stronger, even now!

The Great Dao Bottle, evolved from the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern, continued to exert its power steadily, like a huge black hole, frantically seizing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, continuously nourishing the nearly exhausted physical bodies of the group and replenishing their parched dantian.

Of course, even more of the essence of heaven and earth entered Lin Yan's body.

Xiao Qingxuan's knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary geniuses, and he was now increasingly convinced that the secret Lin Yan possessed was probably an unimaginable opportunity in the entire Great Xia martial arts world.

This method has long transcended the constraints of Blue Star martial arts.

It is neither a secret technique nor a cultivation method, but the true power of the Great Dao!

"Sigh, now I can truly empathize with them. To live with such people for a lifetime is to watch their backs disappear little by little until they are completely out of sight."

Xiao Qingxuan sighed softly, then suppressed his distracting thoughts, feeling that there was no need to compare himself with the freak; it was enough to be able to outdo the others.

After all, being second best in the world is pretty good too.

It wasn't that Xiao Qingxuan was arrogant; rather, he truly had the confidence to back it up. Among the younger generation of all sects, lineages, and martial arts families, he was one of the most outstanding individuals.

In the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, these sects that had inherited their traditions from ancient times were the first to reap the benefits, with many top experts emerging. However, as time went on and ancient ruins were discovered, this gap naturally narrowed.

It's not just about the number of top experts, but also the number of young prodigies.

It should be noted that initially, in the process of competition between the young generation cultivated by the Great Xia Martial Arts Department and the various sects and lineages, the former rarely even made it into the top five. But now, some of them have been able to break into the top three.

It is said that this generation of prodigies, secretly trained by the Great Xia Martial Arts Headquarters, is stronger than any previous batch.

However, those geniuses who are like flowers blooming in a greenhouse can only reach a level comparable to his own at best, and are far less oppressive than Lin Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, thank you very much for today."

The two heavily injured veteran fourth-level martial artists temporarily stabilized their injuries, struggled to their feet, and endured the excruciating pain as if their meridians were ruptured. They solemnly bowed to Lin Yan, completely unable to regard this young man as a junior.

The two men stood solemnly, their hearts filled with sincerity. "Without the protection of your array patterns, our demise today would be a minor matter; the loss of all the young prodigies of Jiangcheng would be a tremendous loss to the martial arts of Great Xia!"

Upon hearing this, all the prodigies in the audience stood up and looked at Lin Yan with awe and gratitude in their eyes, offering a sincere salute.

Previously, many people who had never met Lin Yan secretly envied his special treatment and marveled at his extraordinary encounter. But after this battle, no one had the idea that he was just "lucky" anymore; they were completely convinced.

The life-saving grace during that life-or-death crisis will be something they will remember for a lifetime.

Lin Yan nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed, showing no trace of arrogance.

With a slight thought, the Devouring Heaven Array patterns that had manifested outside the battlefield subsided, returning to the Sea of ​​Bitterness. The violent energy that had swept across the entire battlefield had already been completely devoured, becoming nourishment for him to cultivate his life spring and improve his realm. He was not far from condensing the Divine Bridge.

Before reaching the Four Extremes, the two great secret realms of Wheel Sea and Dao Palace do not require comprehending the so-called Dao and Law. As long as one has enough resources and enough energy of heaven and earth, one can quickly break through the realm without any bottlenecks. This is the advantage of the Covering Heaven Law system.

Moreover, Lin Yan himself does not have the "Ancient Sacred Body" physique that is cursed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so the consumption of breaking through realms is extremely small.

This is also the main reason why he was able to achieve such great results in a very short period of time after entering the field of cultivation.
