Chapter 970: Chapter 486

In the following period, various Heavenly Prides and prodigious monsters took their turns, defeating those widely renowned Heavenly Prides and old monsters, shocking the entire Secret Realm and causing a huge sensation.

Among them were the Heavenly Prides from the True Fire Domain, needless to say. There were the Seven Lineages Heavenly Pride of the Green Flame Palace such as Zhou Yichen and Ye Zhiying. Although they were in the True Spirit Realm, their strength was no less than that of the seasoned warriors of the Entering Saint Realm.

In a Secret Realm where those of the Entering Saint Realm were not allowed, they were naturally invincible.

Besides them, there were also Huo Wuji from the Fire God Temple, Li Qingping and Fang Xiu from the Seven Star Mountain, and Jin Shengtan and Li Chensha from the Blue Sky Sect, each a renowned Heavenly Pride. Even before entering the Heavenly End Secret Realm, they were warned not to be provoked.

During the Jade Talisman competition, they revealed an invincible strength that proved their reputation was no empty fame.

Besides these individuals, there were also many unfamiliar Heavenly Prides and monsters from other domains near the True Fire Domain, possessing ultimate fighting power, unrivaled in the True Spirit Realm.

And Lu Yun, having just entered the Inheritance Land, saw a world-shaking grand battle of evenly matched opponents.

“Hmm? It’s Senior Brother Ye.” Lu Yun’s gaze fell on one of the figures.

This person’s sword techniques had reached a miraculous and inconceivable level.

In terms of attack, with a casual wave of his hand, he invoked a resonance with Heaven and Earth, turning all things into swords.

As for defense, an invisible sword domain enveloped him, ensuring his ground was impregnable.

This person was none other than Ye Zhiying from the Heavenly Lineage of the Green Flame Palace.

From the Dao Rhyme he emanated during battle and the techniques he executed, his swordsmanship seemed to have subtly reached the peak of the first layer of the sword domain.

The one engaged in fierce battle with him was tall and slender, robust and fit.

His body was enveloped in hazy Runes, obscuring his true face, with only his deep eyes visible, shimmering with a special Golden Light.

These were extraordinary pupils; as the Runes circulated, it seemed as if they could penetrate the truth of Heaven and Earth, predicting the opponent’s movements in advance.

In the throes of battle, his aura was powerful, his strength reached the heavens, and under Ye Zhiying’s sword techniques that could sever rivers and cut through the Void, he appeared extremely composed.

Clearly, this was a monster with extraordinary Divine Abilities, from an outer realm, competing with the Heavenly Prides of the True Fire Domain for the opportunities at the Inheritance Land.

Lu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in a direction in the Void, spotting two familiar figures.

Zhou Yichen from the Primordial Origin Lineage and Xie Yushi from the Luoyun Lineage.

Encountering three True Teachings Heavenly Prides from the Green Flame Palace at once, Lu Yun was slightly surprised.

Ever since the Heavenly End Secret Realm opened years ago, he had not met a single sectmate, and unexpectedly encountered three as soon as he entered the Inheritance Land.

“Eh?” Zhou Yichen, who stood in the Void with his hands behind his back, seemed to sense something, swept his gaze over, and upon seeing Lu Yun, immediately let out a light exclamation.

“What’s wrong?”

Next to him, Xie Yushi, with her outstanding beauty, white clothes fluttering, looked almost ethereal. Her silver-white, beautiful eyes danced with light, and upon turning to look, she asked inquisitively.

“One of my junior brothers from the Primordial Origin Lineage has actually come as well,” Zhou Yichen said with a smile.

His black hair was loose, he held a black halberd, and his body emitted a captivating aura.

When Xie Yushi heard this, her beautiful face stirred. Following his gaze, she immediately saw a young man in mysterious clothing.

“Is it him?” Her eyes twinkled, shocked.

“If I remember correctly, this Junior Brother Lu had not broken through to the Unity Realm before entering the Secret Realm.”

Zhou Yichen nodded, his expression calm, but his heart was much more astonished than Xie Yushi’s.

Being from the same Supreme Mysterious Lineage, he knew Lu Yun better.

Coming from the Lower Realm, and after joining the Green Flame Palace, he rose unstoppably. In just a few short years, he broke through the Heavenly Human Realm, the Unity Realm, and was taken in as a True Teachings disciple by the Yuan Guang Immortal…

Lu Yun stood firm as a mountain, in the midst of the Void. His eyes were clear, Demon Wings flapped behind him, Divine Dawn surged around him, releasing an Immortal brightness, and the strong aftereffects of the battle couldn’t even approach him slightly.

When Zhou Yichen and Xie Yushi directed their gaze toward him, he nodded in acknowledgment, but did not approach, refocusing his gaze on the battlefield in the Void.

The clash of existences at such a level was surely a feast for the eyes.

Ye Zhiying grasped the Daoist Soldier Longsword with one hand, slashing upwards into the sky, his pupils burned with Intense Brightness. His sword domain was condensed within a few feet, almost forming a realm of its own.

In this Heavenly End Secret Realm, it was rare for him to encounter an opponent who could match him evenly, aside from a few sectmates, hardly anyone could contend with him.

Now, having just entered the Inheritance Land, he had met such a worthy adversary and was extremely excited. He wielded his divine sword techniques in fierce battle, seizing the opportunity to sharpen his newly achieved Peak of the First Layer of the sword domain.

“Clang!”

The Long Sword sliced through the sky, drawing a misty River of Sword Energy, unleashing the most dazzling killing force, slashing towards the youth with the Divine Eyes.

The youth with the Divine Eyes did not dodge, facing the sword head on. This scene caused everyone to frown simultaneously.

Ye Zhiying’s sword strike, although not utilizing his full power, was still a Breaking Extreme strike, its might surpassing ordinary peak fighting powers.

The youth with divine powers didn’t evade or dodge, was he planning to withstand the sword with his Physical Body alone?

If that were the case, then it would be truly monstrous.

Splat!

A single strike descended, the Sword Light was boundless, and the Void was split apart.

Everyone frowned, the attack fell, yet the youth was not seen dodging, nor did he show any intention to use Divine Abilities for defense.

Pfft—the Sword Light fell, obliterating everything in its path, including the Divine Eyes Youth.

“Hmm?”

The exceptional prodigies present were all astonished; they couldn’t believe that the young man with the god-like eyes, who had displayed such extraordinary combat prowess, would be so easily slain by Ye Zhiying.

Lu Yun glanced toward a corner of the void; his consciousness was powerful, thanks to his training in the Number Secret and his possession of the Karma Spirit Body, and he was quite familiar with techniques involving spirit and illusion incarnations.

He had sensed right from the moment Ye Zhiying’s Sword Light struck that the Divine Eyes Youth’s true form had already evaded the attack, leaving behind nothing but an illusion.

However, the power of Ye Zhiying’s sword was great, and the spectacle it created was terrifying, combined with the opponent’s particularly unique illusion body, which prevented anyone from noticing the trick right away.

But each person here was an unparalleled prodigy with terrifying strength; they quickly understood what had happened. Even a few with particularly strong perception swiftly pinpointed the youth’s hiding place.

Among them, Ye Zhiying had the quickest reaction; in the heat of battle, his focus was incredibly sharp, and his control and awareness of the surroundings were as meticulous as threading a needle.

He had even realized right off the bat that he had only slain an incarnation of his opponent. With a sweep of his consciousness, he had immediately noticed the adversary’s movements.

He looked toward the right front section of the void and saw a burst of auroral light coming in his direction—it was a Divine Ability used by the Divine Eyes Youth.

“Indeed, a very tricky opponent!”

Ye Zhiying said, with his Long Sword swung horizontally, he drew a River of Sword Energy through the void.

“Boom!”

In that instant, the auroral light penetrated the void, charging forth, and collided violently with the River of Sword Energy.

“Hiss!”

The River of Sword Energy collapsed, and the auroral light likewise dissipated.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhiying and the Divine Eyes Youth each left an afterimage where they stood, while their true forms appeared in another corner of the void.

Crackling!

In just the blink of an eye, they exchanged more than a dozen moves, their movement techniques and speed so swift it dazzled onlookers, leaving afterimages of their clash everywhere.

Thump!

Heaven and Earth trembled lightly, and the Dao Rhyme resonated through the cosmos as the firmament seemed to turn over, with Runes bursting forth, erupting into one resplendent bloom after another.

After splitting apart, Ye Zhiying swung his sword and a River of Sword Energy cascaded down like the Heavenly River toppling over, engulfing the Divine Eyes Youth.

“Roar!”

A deep roar sounded from within the River of Sword Energy, followed by the proud appearance of a Purple Qilin, majestic and domineering, standing firm, overshadowing mountains and rivers, and looking down upon all enemies in the world.

“Not only does this person possess Divine Eyes capable of seeing through the patterns of Heaven and Earth and predicting others’ attacks, but he also has the Qilin Divine Body…” The others turned pale with amazement, feeling somewhat envious in their hearts.

All of them were prodigies, each with their own secret arts and Divine Abilities, accustomed to looking down upon others with supreme dignity.

Now, having witnessed this person’s Divine Eyes and Qilin Divine Body, they felt incredibly envious.

As for Lu Yun, his attention was mainly on the pair of Divine Eyes.

However, the opponent hadn’t displayed too much of the Divine Eyes’ power, which only allowed for a glimpse of a mysterious and hazy aura surrounding them.

Lu Yun vaguely felt these Divine Eyes were probably very mysterious and powerful, at least surpassing his own Eyes of Aurora.

As the fourth piece of the Imperishable Golden Bones had been refined, his Eyes of Aurora had been further enhanced.

But, as of now, their utility was limited to penetrating insight into Heaven and Earth, breaking illusions, and discerning right from wrong.

Ye Zhiying felt a tremor in his heart; although his previous strike seemed casual, it contained eighty percent of his understanding of swordsmanship, enough to seriously injure any peak combatant, yet it was easily neutralized by his opponent.

Moreover, the fact that his adversary simultaneously possessed Divine Eyes and a Qilin Divine Body made him an exceptionally monstrous figure, definitely the biggest rival he had encountered since reaching the Peak of the First Layer of swordsmanship.

The Divine Eyes Youth was equally surprised; this person’s swordsmanship was profound, and his attacks were so fierce that he had to reveal his Qilin Divine Body.

Nevertheless, he believed himself to be in an invincible position, confident that within this realm, there might be individuals who could contend with him, but none would defeat him, not even this swordsmanship prodigy—as long as he unleashed his full strength, he could suppress his foe.

However, the current situation was not ideal, with numerous powerful enemies lurking in the shadows; revealing too much now would put him at a disadvantage in subsequent battles for opportunities. Therefore, he was holding back some of his strength in his exchanges with Ye Zhiying.

“It seems that this battle is destined to be inconclusive.”

Someone murmured, shaking their head in regret.

Although their battle continued fiercely, with every move and interaction shaking Heaven and Earth and causing terrifying fluctuations, they were still holding back.

This was evident as they exchanged hundreds of moves without showing the slightest sign of breathlessness, nor did there appear any indication of one being stronger than the other.

“Now, take another one of my moves.” Ye Zhiying yelled, his Daoist Soldier Longsword suddenly swept through the void, pouring ninety percent of his understanding of swordsmanship into it, unleashing a blindingly brilliant sword radiance. The intense Sword Light, like an Outer Heaven Flying Immortal, slashed down with incredible speed.

This was an astonishing and unparalleled Sword Light, radiating incomparable brilliance and the might to cleave Heaven and Earth.

Many could not discern the trace clearly because the Sword Light was too dazzling, lighting up the firmament, and so swift that their perceptions were filled with sharp Sword Energy.

Was this sudden burst a signal to end the probing and commence the decisive fight?

Everyone’s breathing quickened, filled with anticipation and confusion.
