Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 700 Mysterious Vine Transforms into Demon, The Wondrous Use of the Chaotic Body (Part Two)

Wind God City.

In a small courtyard within the Fengshen Clan's territory, Feng Xiuqi, who was practicing his cultivation technique, noticed the vibration of the Tongzhi Sphere, a special reminder he had set up.

"The Taoist Master is online!"

Feng Xiuqi was startled and didn't dare to pick up the Knowledge Ball immediately.

In the past two years, he has hardly left his house and has endured extreme hardship. Although he has gained a large amount of currency, he has also suffered tremendous pressure.

As the only person who had contact with 'Eight Thousand Miles', countless people contacted him openly and secretly. If it weren't for the fact that his cousin Feng Wuding's reputation as a disciple of the Weitian Dao Sect was so high, people would probably have come knocking on his door.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the general knowledge ball, glanced at it, and his mind suddenly sharpened:
"Master Dao is going to fight Lin Yue?!"

Feng Xiuqi gasped.

Although both are true disciples of the Five Great Grotto Heavens, Chao Xuanlong and Lin Yue are different. The former is only a potential Dao Child of the Azure Vein, while the latter is already a sure thing that he will become the future Dao Child of the Demon Lin Academy!
That was a true divine and demonic talent, giving birth to the 'Nine Yang Divine Body', and cultivating the first of the nine scriptures of the Demon Scale Academy, the Great Scripture of Reversing Demons, an astonishing genius.

If it weren't for seeking the ninth strand of golden essence, I would probably have been a person of the fourth realm twenty years ago.

For fifty years, his position at the top of the list of human stars has been unshakeable!
"He's likely to lose..."

The thought flashed through Feng Xiuqi's mind, but he actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He used the name "Powerful Dragon from Beyond the Realm" back then just to make a quick buck; he didn't really intend to collude with cultivators from beyond the realm.

More than a year ago, the uproar following Chao Xuanlong's defeat was so great that he didn't even dare to open the photo album.

"With only ten years of cultivation, even a legendary holy body or an innate Dao body could not possibly defeat Lin Yue!"

With this thought in mind, Feng Xiuqi stood up and decisively turned on the photo capture function.

"Om~"

White light intertwined and formed shadows, and soon a large number of cultivators poured in. The number quickly exceeded a thousand and was still rising. Before long, it had exceeded ten thousand.

Various divine messages surged and flew, causing Feng Xiuqi's eyelids to twitch wildly. He hurriedly spoke up:

"Just now, a voice transmission from 80,000 li away said that Lin Yue had challenged them to a duel..."

Seeing the stillness in the image screen, Feng Xiuqi then opened the battle arena:

"He accepted the challenge!"

……

Almost simultaneously, a large number of photographers started taking pictures, and the news of their challenge to Lin Yue spread rapidly throughout the ninety-three immortal cities of Tian Shi Yuan.

"Lin Yue challenges him to a duel 80,000 li away!"

"Lin Yue is determined to slay the dragon!"

"The 80,000-mile journey reappears..."

Having held the top spot on the Star Ranking for fifty years, Lin Yue's reputation far surpassed that of Chao Xuanlong. The news caused a huge sensation as soon as it spread.

Not to mention the cultivators like Phoenix who had been paying close attention to this matter, even the elders in the five great grotto heavens were alarmed and opened the Battle Hall one after another.

……

Poison Dragon Academy, Punishment Hall, Gale Prison.

This is a lifeless planet destroyed by a cosmic storm, on the verge of extinction. It is desolate and ruined, devoid of any life, with only violent and terrifying gales raging.

This raging wind comes from the starry universe and is extremely violent. Even cultivators at the third or even fourth realm would have their bodies blown apart and their divine realm destroyed if they did not have protective magic.

Because of the extremely harsh environment, cultivators who violated the rules of the Poison Dragon Academy but were not executed were exiled here.

Huhu~
The terrifying hurricane seemed to have no end, leaving deep streaks on the outside of the room.

Inside the room, Chao Xuanlong, who had been demoted to guard this place, stared blankly out the window. Beyond the howling wind, all he could see was desolation and death.

"a hundred years!"

Just thinking about having to guard this godforsaken place for a hundred years made Chao Xuanlong feel uneasy, especially when he thought about the 80,000 miles that had led him to this place.

He couldn't help but groan when he heard about the billions of yuan that had been confiscated from him, and he almost went berserk.

"roar~"

In the void, a demon of the third realm actually emerged and was killed by Chao Xuanlong with his sword.

"Eighty thousand li!"

Chao Xuanlong gritted his teeth, but suddenly heard the Sphere of Knowledge tremble.

Since he was demoted to this place, most of his former friends have stopped contacting him. More than a year later, this is the first time he has heard the vibration of the general knowledge ball.

"Ying Xuanlong!"

Chao Xuanlong clicked on it expressionlessly, but his expression immediately changed:
"Lin Yue challenged him to a duel, and he actually dared to accept?!"

Chao Xuanlong was taken aback, then greatly shocked. In just over a year, he actually had the confidence to defeat Lin Yue?!
Yes, the moment Chao Xuanlong saw this message, he thought Lin Yue might lose.

This was certainly not because he had dark intentions and wanted Lin Yue to fall from his pedestal and join him.

It was because during the year or so he was imprisoned there, he had reviewed all the intelligence from the 80,000-mile empire, as well as his seven thousand battles, countless times!
In the months following his defeat, he was resentful and bitter, believing that if he hadn't been so eager to win, he wouldn't have been defeated by that 80,000-mile-long warrior.

But after a year of careful study, he came to a conclusion.

That Ba Wanli was a person with an extremely clear understanding of himself. He fought a hundred battles in his first battle, a thousand battles in his second, and seven thousand battles in his third, challenging himself.

Every step is planned and executed according to established procedures.

In other words, he was confident of defeating himself when he faced him, and similarly, he must have been confident of defeating Lin Yue when he faced him!

"Could he truly possess an innate Dao physique?"

Chao Xuanlong's heart trembled; even though he had come to this conclusion, he still couldn't believe it.

That's Lin Yue!
"I have to go check it out..."

After calculating his remaining coins, Chao Xuanlong gritted his teeth and decided to watch the battle.

Lin Yue was far more famous than him, and his prices were much higher...

……

hum~
Before my eyes, starlight intertwined like a curtain, accompanied by the echoing tolling of bells, reflecting various characters.

[Lin Yue, a cultivator of the Lin Clan (Seventh-Order Fighter), a true disciple of the Demon Lin Academy, cultivates the 'Reverse Demon Scripture'...]

"The Lin Clan".

The information on the starlight was better than nothing, but more detailed information emerged in Li Yuan's mind.

The Lin Clan is a major clan in Tian Shi Yuan. It is said to have originated from the 23rd century of the Origin God Dynasty, with a peerless Qilin. After several decades of reproduction, although they are no longer as powerful as they once were, they are still far stronger than the Yu Long Clan.

The Demon Lin Academy is a training ground established by a powerful figure of this clan. Although it accepts disciples from various clans, all the sect leaders and disciples throughout the ages have come from the Lin clan.

This is certainly due to a bias, but it is also because the Lin clan's talent is extremely powerful.

Born into the Dao, they reach the third realm upon adulthood. Although their population is far less than that of the human race, it is not too small either, and they have a 'Demon Qilin Pool' to cleanse their bloodline.

Almost every few thousand years, a prodigy with god-like or demonic talent is born.

Lin Yue is special. He is a rare mixed-blood in the Lin clan. Because he is mixed with human blood, he is not qualified to enter the Demon Qilin Pool. However, during his exploration, he was blessed with good fortune, his talent was transformed, and he gave birth to the Nine Yang Divine Body.

Only then did he receive the inheritance of the 'Great Scripture of Reversing Demons'.

"He's someone with great fortune."

Li Yuan casually folded the starlight into a nine-smoke veil and draped it over his body, then strolled slowly, observing the battlefield.

Lin Yue was much wealthier than Chao Xuanlong. The battlefield he rented was much larger, with a complete large star beneath his feet and nine layers of gale-force winds.

Even beyond the raging winds, there are stars hanging like crescent moons.

"There are also more people watching the game."

As the bell tolled, Li Yuan could feel the incense in the Five Extremes Temple surging dramatically, indicating that there were many cultivators watching the battle in the void at this moment.

And the emotions were quite intense.

“‘Eight Thousand Miles’ is very popular.”

Looking around, Li Yuan had already memorized the entire battlefield's terrain. Lin Yue, however, had not yet arrived. He was not in a hurry, so he simply sat cross-legged to maintain his focus.

At the same time, I am also reviewing the matches I have watched with Lin Yue.

As the number one on the Star Ranking for fifty years, Lin Yue has naturally fought countless matches. In the past year or so, he has watched thousands of matches on and off.

From before he reached the top, to after he reached the top, until several years ago, his fierce battle with Wu Er, the second-ranked player on the Star Ranking.

What he watched most was naturally the battle between Lin Yue and Wu Er. As the only two people in Tian Shi Yuan with god-level talents, their battle was extremely intense and highly entertaining.

"Dang~"

The sound of bells echoed repeatedly in the void.

With each chime of the bell, a large number of cultivators entered the viewing platform.

Phoenix was in a great position, overlooking the entire battlefield, while the Fire Dragon Girl next to her chattered on and on, complaining about why Lin Yue hadn't appeared yet.

"How dare he accept the challenge?"

Looking at the eight thousand miles sitting quietly on the desolate mountain, Phoenix was filled with surprise and doubt.

She had personally witnessed his battle against Chao Xuanlong. While not exactly a master of strategy, he was certainly a very calculating cultivator. Such a person would never accept a fight without being certain of victory.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out where this person got the confidence to beat Lin Yue.

In the spectator area, there were quite a few people who shared her thoughts. Ying Xuanlong was also watching the battle, his gaze fixed on the Taoist priest, seemingly lost in thought.

"when!"

In the void, after the bell had rung thirty-six times, a beam of starlight finally fell from the sky, transforming into a giant man, thirteen zhang tall, clad in a demonic robe.

Call ~
In that instant, the void fell silent, and almost everyone's gaze fell upon Lin Yue. The latter, however, seemed oblivious, merely looking at the Taoist in the distance:

"Which realm do you come from?"

"Tianshiyuan."

On the desolate mountain, sensing Lin Yue's aura, Li Yuan slowly stood up. The aura of various spells emanated from his body, creating all sorts of wonders in the void.

In a sense, aside from the difference in their cultivation levels, Lin Yue was even more terrifying than Kizaru, who, after all, did not possess a divine body.

"Tianshiyuan?"

Lin Yue's heart sank slightly, but he already knew that the person in front of him must be from the Weitian Dao Sect.

Because of the existence of the Netherworld, Tian Shi Yuan occasionally produces masters who emerge out of nowhere after receiving gifts from their predecessors, but the person in front of us is clearly not among them.

"In that case..."

Lin Yue sighed deeply.

boom!
Visibly, the breath he exhaled resembled a celestial river flowing out.

It surged and roared, like the most violent and terrifying hurricane in the world, threatening to shatter everything in it.
"Let's finish the fight first!"

In less than a moment, the terrifying aura had already pierced through the void for thousands of miles, and wherever it passed, the void seemed to be cut in two.

"Body-refining cultivators are truly domineering!"

The moment Lin Yue sighed, Li Yuan had already leaped up. Divine light intertwined behind him, and divine beings appeared. On Xuan Teng Island, giant trees reached the sky, and the seven true forms seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

"Bang!" The deafening sound of the mountains being extinguished by the energy burst out almost simultaneously with the sound of the void shaking.

In less than a fraction of a second, a fist imprint wreathed in demonic flames swept across, piercing through the divine realm wonders manifested by Li Yuan.

With a 'bang', the Xuan You protective shield was shattered!

"An eighty-one-layered protective spell? No wonder it could block my 'Demon Flame Fist'..."

The attack failed, and Lin Yue's somewhat surprised voice rang in Li Yuan's ears. He stared intently at the sound.

Ten thousand miles away, Lin Yue stood tall, his robes fluttering in the wind.

Immediately, he stepped forward.

Bowing

Punch.

Hundreds of fist imprints swept across the sky:

"Come again!"

boom!
A sense of unease rose in Li Yuan's heart.

In that instant, in his perception, the fist imprint seemed like thousands of mountains rising from the ground, sweeping across at lightning speed, like a meteor shower covering the heavens and the earth.

It combines extreme speed and immense power!

"The Body of a Demon!"

Li Yuan leaped away, the wondrous scenery behind him dissipating into mist. Then, a golden-winged roc flapped its wings, sweeping across the void and shifting among the countless fist imprints.
They attacked Lin Yue and left.

At the same time, waves of magical light exploded on Li Yuan's body.

Five Elements Escape Technique, Heavenly Roc Escape Technique, Mysterious Netherworld Protective Shield, Divine Fire Shield, Kunming Myriad Armor...

Protecting himself, he fled at lightning speed.

Facing a Body Refinement cultivator head-on, close combat is absolutely out of the question. A mere ten thousand miles is practically nothing to a cultivator at the Third Realm.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded through the heavens and the dazzling divine light caused many cultivators watching the battle in the void to exclaim in surprise, and many even felt their hair stand on end.

Even while watching the battle, one could still feel Lin Yue's domineering and fierce aura!
"Lin Yue's Demonic Body is truly terrifying. I'm afraid even cultivators at the fourth realm might not dare to face its power directly. It is indeed a body-refining technique inspired by eight strands of golden essence, and it is already close to a divine power!"

"The physique of the Lin Clan is already comparable to that of extraterrestrial beasts, and with the addition of their Demonic Body, they are truly incomparably ferocious!"

"A powerful dragon from beyond the realm? I'm afraid Lin Yue is going to drive him insane..."

The cultivators watching the battle arena, which was almost completely filled with demonic light, were amazed and their emotions were running high.

"This person's use of magic is becoming increasingly profound and subtle..."

Phoenix was also watching the battle intently.

Watching that figure nimbly maneuvering amidst countless punches, she was quite surprised; it was a tremendous improvement compared to a year ago.

His spells were executed with practiced skill, like those of a seasoned monk.

"This junior brother from the Dao Sect is quite resilient."

In a certain spot in the spectator area, Wu Yunlong was also watching the match, and he seemed rather gloating.

Over the past two or three decades, he had tried every possible method, but at best he could only manage a draw with Lin Yue. He was often ridiculed by his fellow disciples. Now, seeing that this Daoist junior brother was also in a sorry state, he was in a good mood.

……

"boom!"

Thousands of sword energies shot out, but before they could even get close, they were blasted apart by the fist imprint.

"Spells with less than sixty layers of magical restrictions cannot even get close to him!"

Dodging the torrent of fist imprints, even though he had seen it many times before while watching the battle, Li Yuan found it extremely troublesome.

Lin Yuexiu has very few spells, and most of them are body-refining spells, especially the Reverse Demon Body, which has at least sixty layers of restrictions and eight strands of golden essence!
This means that he can maintain a state that allows him to compete with cultivators of the fourth realm for a long time with minimal mana consumption.

None of the various spells he unleashed, whether it was the Taiyin Sword Qi, the Xuan Gang Heavy Water, or even the Kunpeng Spirit Form enhanced by the nine major spells, could get close to him!
"Is all you can do to run away?!"

Using the void as a medium, a thunderous roar was emitted.

Lin Yue's long hair danced wildly, and the crimson-eyed demonic scales on his robe seemed to come alive, emitting low growls.

His body was visibly surging with magical power, as vast as the sea.

boom!
With just one step, the entire battle arena trembled violently, as if it were about to be crushed and overturned.

The cultivators watching the battle could see clearly that with his stomp, not only did the barren mountain beneath his feet shatter, but the earth for thousands of miles also sank.

This continental shelf, where stars battle, is groaning as if it's about to crack open.

boom!
Lin Yue extended his arm again, his two fists meeting in mid-air before separating again.

A shake, an explosion!
boom!
boom!
The void exploded, and the energy filled the sky.

In that instant, countless fist imprints filled the entire world, blocking all space for Li Yuan to move and dodge.

These fist imprints are domineering and fierce, but they are not just straightforward. They are more like thousands of agile flying swords, intertwined and coordinated, like a net covering the sky and the earth.

"This sense of oppression is no less than that of Senior Brother Kizaru!"

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan stopped dodging and landed on the ground. His body was surrounded by a waterfall of blue light, and the strange scenery behind him reappeared. The Xuan Teng tree seemed to have emerged from nothingness.

"boom!"

In the void, under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, as the overwhelming fist shadows descended, a large tree interwoven with black and purple hues rose from the ground.

In an instant, it had expanded to a height of nearly nine hundred feet.

Thousands of branches stretched out, and in an instant, countless spells were activated. It felt as if the magical light was about to overwhelm the overwhelming fist shadows.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled violently, cracking open, the void trembled, and violent air currents, accompanied by terrifying collision light, surged and ripped across the sky, as if to tear the heavens and earth apart.

"They actually blocked it!"

Upon seeing this scene, the cultivators watching from the void couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"This Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture..."

Upon closer inspection, Wu Yunlong finally noticed something amiss. This Dao Sect junior brother's cultivation of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture was simply too unbelievable.

For a fleeting moment, he even thought that it was a senior brother who had cultivated the Azure Emperor Scripture to the fifth or sixth level releasing his natal spiritual plant...

"Aren't you going to hide anymore?"

On the distant mountain, Lin Yue's eyes narrowed, and he immediately felt a brilliant blue light spreading outwards in layers, like a concentric circle, centered on the towering tree.

In less than a moment, the earth within a hundred miles trembled violently, and then the tremor spread to thousands of miles, and even to tens of thousands of miles away.

"boom!"

In that instant, Li Yuan unleashed all his magical powers. The three high-grade magical powers and the seven mid-grade magical powers all boiled up as if they were about to burst into flames.

Visible to the naked eye, the interwoven rays of light formed a mist that enveloped the giant tree.

"Has he collected all five elements?"

In the void, Wu Yunlong was startled.

Immediately, a series of booming sounds echoed from the battle arena, and thousands of thick vines rose from the ground, resembling a chaotic dance of dragons.

"A natal spiritual plant?"

Lin Yue raised his hand and grabbed a vine with a snap.

"Ok?"

Lin Yue wasn't too concerned at first, but just to be on the safe side, he grabbed a vine. However, once he got his hands on the vine, he was startled.

The surface of this vine was covered with a faint five-colored light, while inside, various divine restrictions flowed, as if it were woven together by dozens of spells.

'How can so many different types of magic blend together so harmoniously?!'

Lin Yue was startled and immediately threw a punch.

"boom!"

One punch was like a thousand punches, overwhelming and seemingly about to crush all the vines.

Beneath the giant mystic vine tree, Li Yuan stood with his hands hanging down. His magical power was being consumed at an alarming rate, but he seemed unaware of it, merely raising his hand to gently pat the mystic vine tree.

In the next instant, the tree vines that burst forth from the ground, like thousands of dragons dancing wildly, intertwined and tangled, and in the blink of an eye, they had transformed into a giant tree demon a thousand feet tall!

"boom!"

The tree demon raised its hand, unleashing a rain of fist imprints, directly confronting the overwhelming barrage of fist imprints. Thousands of loud bangs rose and fell, and it actually managed to withstand Lin Yue's domineering punch.

"Um?!"

"What kind of natal spiritual plant is this?"

"No, what kind of Dao Body does he have that allows him to fuse so many spells together..."

In that instant, divine senses flew across the viewing platform, and many high-level cultivators with excellent eyesight immediately spotted the intricate, net-like divine restriction patterns within the giant tree demon's body.

Spells can be combined, and their power increases dramatically after combination. Those with extraordinary talent can even combine various spells into supernatural abilities!
But the spells within that tree demon were chaotic and disorganized; how could they possibly be integrated into one?
"All laws are governed by the mind; the Chaotic Body truly possesses boundless wonders!"

Beneath the mystical vine tree, Li Yuan felt a surge of joy.

Many years ago, he had been exploring how to utilize the various martial arts he had painstakingly cultivated over the years. Body-refining techniques were naturally the best solution, but they were extremely difficult to practice, and he also needed to focus on the Five Elements Scripture, so he temporarily gave up on them.

It wasn't until after the Chaos Body was conceived, when he honed his fighting techniques using Kizaru as a mirror, that he discovered another path.

With the Chaos Body as its core, the Five Elements Magic Power as its foundation, the Mystic Vine Tree as its medium, and various spells as its combination... the Path of the Tree Demon's Martial Arts.

This is precisely why he was able to force Kizaru to a draw, and why he dared to accept the challenge even though he knew Lin Yue's body refinement was unparalleled!
"boom!"

Having failed in his first attack, Lin Yue rose up with a roar, the demonic unicorn shadow behind him howling to the sky, its sound echoing for miles.

"roar~"

The thousand-foot-tall wooden figure swayed, then suddenly collapsed and shrank, shrinking to the size of an ordinary person in the blink of an eye. It raised one arm high, and thousands of vines intertwined, transforming into a heavy hammer that possessed all kinds of magic.

"Close combat?"

The tree demon looked up, its lips twitching, and with a cold laugh, it raised its heavy hammer.

The vines, varying in size as desired, were further enhanced by various escape techniques, reaching extreme speed. Almost the instant Lin Yue took to the air, the heavy hammer swept across thousands of miles, crashing down like a mountain.

Compared to his less than ten years of experience in magic, Li Yuan has been immersed in martial arts for much longer, and close combat has never been a weakness for him!

boom!
boom!
On the battle platform, the sound of explosions drowned out everything.

The viewing area in the void was deathly silent, watching two figures crisscrossing at lightning speed amidst the explosions, colliding thousands upon thousands of times in an instant.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the elders of the five great grotto heavens felt their eyes were opened.

Many cultivators fight with their natal spiritual plants, but it is unprecedented to see someone activate their natal spiritual plant in this way.

Wu Yunlong stared in disbelief:
"Can you still play like this?!"
