Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

"Is he Lin Langtian...?"

Lin Dong stared at that lofty figure, who seemed born to be admired, his heart churning with complex emotions: a deep-seated hatred, intense resentment, and a long-suppressed, burning fighting spirit.

"Hehe, kid, watch carefully."

Little Marten's voice rang in his mind again, with a hint of amusement and a reminder, "This giant eagle was formed by him using his own Yuan power. It is not a real demon beast, but it has already condensed a trace of the true eagle's aura. It is both in form and spirit, which shows that his control over Yuan power has reached a state of perfection."

"If I'm not mistaken, this kid has probably already entered the second stage of the Three Realms of Creation, the Qi Creation Realm!"

Little Marten paused, then added a touch of teasing in his tone, "A Qi Creation Realm expert of this age is considered a top genius even in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. Lin Dong, your opponent is no simple matter; he'll give you a run for your money."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong didn't say anything more, but took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He was well aware of the current gap between himself and his opponent; there was a full two major realms between the Yuan Dan Realm and the Zao Qi Realm.

Just as everyone was marveling at Lin Langtian's appearance, another thunderous laugh suddenly rang out from the other side of the sky!

"Haha, Lin Langtian, you've beaten me to it again!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dazzling golden light piercing through the air, its momentum wild and domineering, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fluctuate violently wherever it passed. The golden light arrived in an instant, hovering in mid-air, and transformed into a giant golden spear that was several dozen feet long.

On the shaft of the spear, a figure dressed in a golden robe with long, flowing hair stood proudly, his arrogant aura soaring to the sky, like a peerless, fierce spear that seemed to pierce the heavens!

"Brother Wang Yan has arrived too!" A joyful shout rang out from the Wang clan headquarters.

Just as Wang Yan's laughter subsided, another voice, tinged with a light laugh, drifted from the horizon. The tone was gentle yet not to be ignored: "Hehe, Wang Yan, it's been a year, and your arrogance remains as strong as ever."

Immediately, blue light filled the sky, and a rainbow streak gracefully swept in, instantly reaching the air and transforming into a phoenix several dozen feet in size, its entire body overflowing with azure light.

The phoenix exuded a powerful aura, its wings stirring up the wind and clouds with a gentle flap. On its back stood an elegant man dressed in blue, with a handsome, almost otherworldly appearance, holding a deep blue feather fan and waving it gently, displaying an air of noble composure.

"Lin Dong, that's Qin Shi, a genius from the Qin clan." Lin Ke'er whispered to Lin Dong as she saw this.

Lin Dong nodded silently, feeling an even greater sense of pressure.

Of the four major clans of the Great Yan Dynasty, three have already been eliminated.

"Tsk tsk, another guy at the peak of the Shaping Realm. Moreover, his Wind Phoenix actually possesses power no weaker than that of the Shaping Realm. It is obviously a demon beast that was contracted using a special method."

Little Mink's voice rang out again, tinged with schadenfreude, "Kid, seeing so many geniuses and prodigies appear together today, are you feeling quite stimulated? Feeling like this country bumpkin isn't up to par?"

Lin Dong did not respond to Xiao Diao's teasing, but his gaze became even more serious and sharp.

The top young figures of the four major clans of the Great Yan Dynasty, except for the Huangpu family, have all gathered here.

Lin Langtian, Wang Yan, Qin Shi... each with a powerful aura and dazzling demeanor, as if the focus of this world should naturally belong to them.

Just as the three geniuses faced off in mid-air, their imposing auras enveloping the entire arena and drawing all eyes—

call out!call out!

Two sharp, whistling sounds rang out as a gentle, serene emerald light and a swift, sharp azure sword light emerged almost simultaneously from the treetops in the distance, arriving over this area in the blink of an eye.

The azure light receded, revealing a lotus platform about ten feet in size, its entire surface carved like jade.

On the lotus platform, a woman dressed in a plain dress and with a light veil covering her face stood gracefully. Her clothes fluttered, and she was as cool and aloof as the moon. She was Ling Qingzhu, who came to represent the Huangpu family.

The other cyan sword light was a long sword with an ancient design. On the blade, a young man dressed in dark blue tight-fitting clothes stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight and his gaze steady. It was Lan He.

The Azure Lotus Platform and the Azure Scale Sword hovered in mid-air, facing Lin Langtian's crimson giant eagle, Wang Yan's golden giant spear, and Qin Shi's azure phoenix, forming a delicate balance.

Although the two did not deliberately make a show of themselves, their two obviously extraordinary flying magical treasures and their calm demeanor instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Even with her face veiled by a light gauze, the woman on the lotus platform possessed a graceful figure and a cool, otherworldly aura that was enough to captivate anyone's heart.

The young man standing beside her on his sword, though only showing the aura of the Lesser Completion of the Creation Realm, remained calm and composed under the invisible pressure of Lin Langtian and several other geniuses. This composure was quite extraordinary.

"What a perfect couple. Huangpu Jing is currently at a critical juncture in her cultivation, yet she managed to invite Miss Ling here. This must be Young Master Lanhe from the Immortal Dynasty, right?"

Qin Shi gently waved his feather fan, his handsome face bearing his usual gentle smile. He was clearly aware of the two men's origins and spoke with great politeness.

Lin Langtian's gaze also fell on Ling Qingzhu, and a slight ripple finally crossed his calm eyes.

His status as a true disciple of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace was enough to make people take notice in the Great Yan Dynasty. He nodded slightly as a greeting, maintaining his composure without saying anything more.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that a powerful force like yours would be interested in the ancient tombs in our remote and impoverished area."

Wang Yan's gaze was fixed on Ling Qingzhu, his astonishment and possessiveness undisguised.

Such a stunning beauty, with her aloof and unique temperament, is indeed very likely to arouse a man's desire to conquer her.

Qin Shi frowned imperceptibly, seemingly displeased with Wang Yan's rude words, but ultimately remained silent.

Lin Langtian remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Not far away, Lan He, who had retreated to the side, noticed Wang Yan's unbridled gaze lingering on Ling Qingzhu. His brows twitched almost imperceptibly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Since Ling Qingzhu herself made no comment, he naturally didn't bother to step forward at this time. He had already made a mental note of this person, and if he got in his way in the Ancient Tomb, he would deal with him easily; after all, he was just a Shaping Realm cultivator.

In the camp below, Lin Dong's gaze had already been drawn to the two newly appeared figures.

He was amazed by Ling Qingzhu's temperament and appearance, but that was all; he was more concerned about the variables that the two of them brought.

"Hey kid, watch your step."

The little sable's voice, tinged with a rare seriousness, echoed in his mind, "That sword-wielding kid is a bit strange. On the surface, he's only at the Lesser Completion of the Shaping Realm, not even as good as Wang Yan, who's at the Greater Completion of the Shaping Realm, but the feeling I get from him... is that he's more dangerous than those three pretentious guys in the sky combined."

"My intuition tells me that this kid is definitely not as simple as he looks. You'd better keep an eye on him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong felt a slight chill. For the arrogant little sable to give such a high evaluation, the blue-clad youth must be extremely well-hidden.

He couldn't help but glance at Lan He a few more times, trying to discern something amiss, but all he saw was the other man's calm demeanor and lack of any unusual behavior.

"As for that veiled woman..."

Xiao Diao's voice continued, her tone even more serious, "Peak of the Creation Realm! Only one step away from the Nirvana Realm, her aura is terrifyingly refined. The cultivation technique she practices is also extremely special, far beyond what ordinary Creation Realm cultivators can match. This woman is not someone you can afford to provoke right now, stay away from her."

Lin Dong nodded silently, keeping Xiao Diao's reminder firmly in mind.

Even before the ancient tomb has been opened, so many powerful and complex figures have already gathered there. The ensuing struggle will likely be far more intense and dangerous than he anticipated.

In the sky, Ling Qingzhu seemed not to hear Wang Yan's slightly flippant words, and didn't even flinch, as if he were just an insignificant wisp of air.

Her silence and indifference caused the smile on Wang Yan's face to freeze slightly.

"Alright, enough chit-chat."

Lin Langtian spoke up at the right moment, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere and drawing everyone's attention back to the main topic, "Now that everyone is here, let's not delay and start breaking the seal."
