Chapter 545: Chapter 520: Opening the Sea of Magic
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo joined forces, their killing moves frequent and ferocious as a hurricane, and after a few strikes, they shattered the practitioner of four divine signs, splattering blood across the arena platform.
The Divine Clan and the Three Emperors Alliance, as well as the remaining people of the Yin Yang Sect, were horrified to their core, not daring to linger and charging frantically toward the edge of the arena. Those with more nerve stayed on the brink, ready to leap off at any moment.
Those who were more faint-hearted didn’t dare to stay a moment longer and immediately leapt off the platform, conceding defeat.
To Lu Yan, these were all but underlings; he paid them no mind. His targets were the big fish, those with an Innate Magic Body.
Swish! Swish!
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo, from the left and right, charged toward Na Lanming, attacking from both sides.
"Bitch, get lost."
Unable to withstand Lu Yan’s fierce onslaught, Na Lanming could only head toward Shen Yinuo, attempting to repel her and continue dodging around the arena.
He was unwilling to simply hop off the platform and admit defeat.
As someone with an Innate Magic Body, how could he fail to even get past the first round without becoming a laughingstock?
His punches were as heavy as mountains as he bombed toward Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo, striving not for merit but for no fault, used the Great Sun Melting Furnace to protect herself, her entire body enveloped in a blood glow, emitting an alarming aura. Heat waves rolled out from her, turning the space around her into forbidden ground.
Although it wasn’t a domain, it was similar to one.
Meanwhile, her fists relentlessly struck out, each punch dazzling beyond compare, transforming into rounds of mini suns that flew out, staunchly blocking Na Lanming’s attacks.
In an instant, Na Lanming hammered out eighteen punches, yet Shen Yinuo didn’t retreat half a step.
"Na Lanming, just now you had the chance to leap off the arena and concede defeat, but you didn’t seize the opportunity. Now, it’s time to send you on your way,"
Lu Yan’s figure flashed like lightning as he neared Na Lanming.
Seeing that he was unable to push back Shen Yinuo and noticing Lu Yan approaching, Na Lanming was greatly shocked and decided to abandon Shen Yinuo, attempting to break free from the side.
But at that moment, seven soul spikes formed a line, piercing through Na Lanming’s Primordial Spirit.
Na Lanming’s Primordial Spirit ached, his control over the laws faltered, and his body stiffened.
The time was brief, just a flash.
But in a high-stakes battle, such a moment could decide victory or defeat, life or death.
A grim blade light steeped in the breath of death slashed toward Na Lanming’s head.
"Ah..."
Nalanming roared, his eyes bloodshot, his Primordial Spirit shining as he exerted all his strength in a punch.
But how could this hasty punch stop Lu Yan’s full-powered strike?
Spurt!
Lu Yan’s blade light, with an unstoppable momentum, crushed Na Lanming’s punch, then sliced his fist in half, along with the entire arm, severing it from his body.
Na Lanming staggered backward as Shen Yinuo’s Great Sun Melting Furnace pressed down, trapping him within.
Above the Great Sun Melting Furnace, a terrifying destructive force burst forth, piercing through Na Lanming’s defenses in an instant. Na Lanming felt his skin and flesh rapidly turning to dust.
He hurriedly transformed into a river of laws, fiercely crashing against the Great Sun Melting Furnace.
Boom!
The Great Sun Melting Furnace trembled mightily.
Yet atop the furnace, a layer of blood light spread, reinforcing the Great Sun Melting Furnace, making it solid and immortal, stabilizing it.
"Robbery Blood Flame, Chaos Turns to Void."
Shen Yinuo whispered, her hands dancing, her entire being shrouded in blood light, even her hair tinging blood red.
An aura of terror, filled with destruction, spread from Shen Yinuo as if it sought to obliterate everything, as if it intended to burn all things in the world to ashes.
"This aura..."
Above in the high sky, many who were at the third transformation of creation shifted in their expressions.
"It’s the aura of the Chaos Void."
"It represents destruction and evil."
Several mighty beings at the third step of creation exchanged thoughts through their Spiritual Sense within the void.
"Hmph, the Dragon Alliance, top to bottom, rightfully comes from that place of exile, the Chaos Void. Even their junior members carry the scent of destruction from that place. In my opinion, they should not be spared, lest they bring disaster to the world,"
a cold voice from the Three Emperors Alliance rose.
This person was shrouded in a fog of ghostly energy, with turbulent ghostly energy and countless wailing souls around him.
He was one of the Three Emperors Alliance, the Ghost Emperor.
"Disaster? Countless are those who have died at your hands, Ghost Emperor. If we speak of disasters, you are the greatest calamity of this world. Shouldn’t we eliminate you first?"
Emperor Qing glared at the Ghost Emperor with a malicious gaze.
The Ghost Emperor’s body roiled with ghostly energy, ghost flames filling his eyes as he conveyed in a cold, raspy voice, "Ye Qing, don’t be insolent; don’t think I fear you."
"Oh, since you’re not afraid, then let’s fight. I’ll take you on with one hand,"
Emperor Qing declared indifferently, with a hint of disdain.
The Ghost Emperor’s form was engulfed in ghostly flames, but ultimately he dared not make a move, snorting coldly instead.
"Pathetic."
Disdain thickened in Emperor Qing’s voice.
The Ghost Emperor almost spat out blood in anger.
Meanwhile, Na Lanming let out a terrified scream, "What power is this? Ah..."
He desperately tapped into the Magic River, borrowing its power to fortify himself, and used his domain for protection. But he found it futile as the terrible blood-colored flames, filled with destructive power, could burn through his domain. Even transforming into a river of laws, he was continuously dissipating in the face of these blood-colored flames.
"Yinuo, let me in."
Lu Yan sent a message to Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo nodded.
Lu Yan surged onto the Great Sun Melting Furnace unimpeded, as though passing through a layer of ripples, and entered the interior of the Great Sun Melting Furnace.
The "Robbery Blood Flame" within the Great Sun Melting Furnace automatically avoided Lu Yan, encircling him without causing him any harm.
Shua shua shua...
Lu Yan’s palms sliced like knives, continually slashing out.
Blades of deathly light, like a violent storm, chopped down on Na Lanming, grinding him into pieces.
Then, the Robbery Blood Flame surged up, engulfing Na Lanming.
"Ah, Ancestor, save me..."
Na Lanming let out a hysterical scream.
The Ghost Emperor’s ghostly flames surged but ultimately, he did not act.
The Origin competition prohibited those who hadn’t entered the competition from taking action, let alone someone at his level of creation.
If he had interfered, he wouldn’t need Emperor Qing to act; other powers’ experts would have joined hands to attack him.
Soon, Na Lanming was completely silent.
An Innate Magic Body from a generation had thus perished.
"The attack power is still not enough,"
Lu Yan sighed internally.
Killing an Innate Magic Body was so difficult, not being able to easily annihilate it left him somewhat dissatisfied.
This feeling was unpleasant for him, reminiscent of when he had just begun cultivating and faced Martial Spirits.
"If Innate Magic Bodies are this difficult to kill, then their advanced version, the Initial Body, will definitely be even tougher to kill. My attack power is still not enough; it must be increased. And my cultivation level is not high enough either..."
Lu Yan’s thoughts raced as his gaze swept in all directions.
Upon seeing Na Lanming being killed, Shen Yuehui of the Divine Clan didn’t dare to continue the fight, exerting his full strength to break away from Wu Lan and headed towards the edge of the battle platform.
He was prepared to jump off the platform at any moment.
Lu Yan exchanged a glance with Shen Yinuo and suddenly charged toward Shen Yuehui.
Shen Yuehui was greatly alarmed and without hesitation, leaped off the platform, admitting defeat, which drew a chorus of boos.
A third step creator of the Divine Clan, an Ancestor, snorted coldly, looking upset.
After Shen Yuehui jumped off the platform, Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, along with Wu Lan and others, didn’t stop there but continued to pursue those from the Three Emperors Alliance, Divine Clan, and Yin Yang Sect who were still on the platform.
Seeing Lu Yan and the others approaching, these people abandoned any hope for luck and jumped off the platform one after another.
Very soon, on platform number twelve, not one from the Three Emperors Alliance, Divine Clan, or Yin Yang Sect remained.
Once they had driven the members of the three powers off the platform, the remaining members of the Dragon Alliance gathered together, with others keeping a far distance, no longer daring to confront them.
The melee continued.
On other platforms, the Dragon Alliance also faced the concerted suppression of multiple forces.
Except for a few platforms where top experts were present, the losses on other stages were great, with some dying in combat and others diving off the platforms to concede.
Only a very few managed to pass the first round of elimination.
Gradually, the number of people on each platform dwindled.
Platform nine was the first to conclude the battle, with only fifty remaining on the platform.
Following that, other platforms slowly ended the battle as well.
Platform number twelve finished mid-ranking, ending the battle with nine of the Dragon Alliance dead, and the remaining eight passing the first round of selection and gaining the right to enter the Sea of Magic.
On platform sixteen, Mr. World had also been targeted, but using his masterful formations, he was unfazed by the encirclement. Amidst the attacks from numerous experts, he dodged and weaved with ease, lasting until the very end.
Furthermore, the platform where Lu Lingxuan was, naturally, fared smoothly.
With Lu Lingxuan, a formidable expert present, no one on that platform dared to take action against them, and even if there was an expert on the same level as her, they refrained due to wariness, avoiding a clash between the two powerhouses.
In addition, Lu Yan noted that Fang Yunliang had also passed the first round.
Apart from them, almost all of the Dragon Alliance had been decimated.
Among them, not a small number had died, making Ye Qing’s expression somewhat gloomy.
"Fortune favors the beloved, misfortune strikes the disliked. Your Dragon Alliance is not close to people’s hearts; this is the outcome you deserve," said the Ghost Emperor with a sneer.
Ye Qing’s eyes flashed sharply like swords, but in the end, she said no more.
After this battle, only twenty-five from the Dragon Alliance passed the selection and moved into the second round.
Meanwhile, other powers at the True One State had more than fifty people each passing the selection.
The Dragon Alliance’s achievement was dismal, not even reaching half the number of other powers at the same level.
"Alright, the spots for those passing the first round are all determined. You have three days to rest and recover. After three days, gather here and together we will head to the Sea of Magic," announced the white-haired elder from the Origin Dynasty.
Lu Yan and the others followed Emperor Qing back to their quarters.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After three days, the twenty-five people from the Dragon Alliance once again followed Emperor Qing back to that plaza.
Once everyone from the various powers had assembled, under the leadership of the white-haired elder from the Origin Dynasty, they soared into the sky, left Origin Magic City, and headed north.
They soon landed in front of a Stone Pillar Forest.
The Stone Pillar Forest, located at the foot of a cliff, consisted of one thousand six hundred and fifty pillars. Ancient and weathered, they seemed to have stood upon the earth for endless aeons.
"Prepare to open the Space Door to the Sea of Magic," said the white-haired elder.
Creators at the third step from various forces stepped forward and settled atop a pillar. Their power flowed into the pillars.
In an instant, all the pillars lit up, connecting to one another, and ultimately forming a grand Space Door.
The Sea of Magic, opened.
