Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 701 The Victory of the Dao Body, First in Combat! (Two Chapters Combined)

No, why should you be able to do this?

Wu Yunlong subconsciously did some mental calculations and realized that he, who also possessed a copy of the Great Scripture of Wood Element, simply couldn't do it.

Is the Mysterious Vine Serpent truly possessed such supernatural powers?
"wrong!"

"The Mystic Vine Serpent has absolutely no ability to forcibly combine so many spells!"

"It's his Dao body!"

As Wu Yunlong's mind raced, he vaguely guessed what was going on, while at the edge of the viewing area, a refined middle-aged man in a blue robe narrowed his eyes and also realized something.

"what!"

The air exploded like waves, Lin Yue's hair flew wildly, and he let out a long howl.

In that instant, his entire being radiated light, like a blazing sun traversing the sky, its flames so intense they could burn the heavens and boil the seas.

Nine Yang Divine Body!

After another unsuccessful punch, Lin Yue's eyes blazed with fury as he decisively activated his divine body. The eight hundred and ten streams of magical power within his body burned intensely, unleashing all his potential abilities.

"Come again!"

Lin Yue cut off all distracting thoughts and no longer cared about the struggle between the Daoist sects and grotto-heavens. He did not believe that his eight strands of golden essence, which had been transformed into a demonic body, could be defeated head-on by such a tree demon.

"kill!"

The sonic waves surged, the energy surged, and even the slightest leakage could tear apart mountains and rivers.

With the Nine Yang Divine Body unleashed, Lin Yue's aura expanded once more, and his punches and kicks were like the sun blazing across the sky, as if the void itself were being boiled.

"Bang~"

The punch landed like a meteor falling to the ground.

The tree demon was struck across thousands of miles, and when it landed, the earth collapsed, rivers stopped flowing, and countless silt and sand rose into the sky, like a curtain being drawn up to a height of ten thousand feet.

"So fierce?"

Li Yuan's mind entered the tree demon's body, and he could clearly sense it.

This punch nearly destroyed half of the spells contained within the Tree Demon's body. Not only was its speed comparable to his Six Gates Escape Technique, but its power also increased dramatically.

This Nine Yang Divine Body is much stronger than he expected, especially in enhancing body-refining techniques.

"Come!"

With his mind entering the Tree Demon God, Li Yuan stomped his foot, and hundreds of long vines broke through the ground and merged into the Tree Demon God's body. Then he soared into the sky once more.

The tree demon's body, enhanced by various spells, was far more powerful than his original form.

Its speed is extremely fast, enhanced by the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Roc Escape Technique. In an instant, it can move hundreds or thousands of times within a range of ten thousand miles. Its body is extremely tough, with the Mysterious Netherworld Protective Shield, the Kunming Ten Thousand Layers Armor, and the Mysterious Gang Heavy Water inside.

The same blessing also exists in that heavy hammer formed from tree vines.

"die!"

Without pausing for a moment, Lin Yue unleashed a barrage of punches, one after another, creating blinding flames that filled the sky and earth, almost setting the entire battle arena ablaze.

Li Yuan, wielding the body of a tree demon, unleashed a hammer imbued with all kinds of magic, displaying the full extent of the hammer techniques he had learned.

Magic is the power that springs forth from the human heart's ability to harness the principles of heaven and earth.

Martial arts are very pure; they are simply about the control and application of strength. Human strength has its limits, so it cannot match magic.

However, the tree demon body formed by the convergence of various spells allows the power of many martial arts to burst forth to an unprecedented level.

How many martial arts did Li Yuan practice in order to change his appearance?
Lin Yue couldn't possibly count them all!
In his perception, the person opposite him seemed to be a body-refining cultivator even more than he was; not only was his heavy hammer powerful, but his fists, palms, legs, and feet were all exceptionally fierce.

"boom!"

The heavy hammer rises, sometimes shooting a hundred miles, sometimes a thousand miles, spinning as it pleases. Sometimes, before the heavy hammer is withdrawn, a palm strike comes horizontally. The tree demon, as large and small as a scepter, pushes horizontally for nearly ten thousand miles with a single palm strike.

Great Sun Blazing Palm!
This palm technique, which Pang Wenlong was skilled in, was also learned by Li Yuan. When it was unleashed by the Tree Demon God, its power was so great that it would leave the former speechless!

It's not just the Great Sun Blazing Palm.

Li Yuan fought with increasing enthusiasm, unleashing all the martial arts skills he had mastered, including the White Ape Cloak Hammer.

"boom!"

In an instant, there were hundreds of collisions. Li Yuan shifted and spun around, wielding a tree hammer in his palm with effortless grace, like thousands of dragons dancing in the sky.

It completely destroyed all the thousands of fist imprints that Lin Yue had unleashed with all his might.

The tree demon's body is immune to damage. Even though it suffers damage with every collision, it can be repaired and strengthened by the Xuan Teng Tree whenever it is knocked down.

The Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture is unparalleled in its resilience among all other scriptures.

"How can it be?!"

Another blow repelled the tree demon, and Lin Yue's expression finally changed.

He used the Nine Yang Divine Body to unleash the Demon Flame Fist, yet he couldn't ignite the tree demon.

Fire magic can't counter wood magic?

"Cool!"

Unlike Lin Yue's frenzy, Li Yuan felt exhilarated; the long-awaited head-on clash made his blood boil.

But the rapidly depleting magical energy within him quickly calmed him down.

In terms of magical power, he was far inferior to Lin Yue, and the consumption of his Tree Demon body was far greater than that of Lin Yue's Reverse Demon body.

We can't outlast him!

"We must fight quickly!"

With a determined heart, Li Yuan's Tree Demon body rose from the ground once more, its body engulfed in raging flames, as if ignited by Lin Yue's demonic flames.

It is actually the Fire Phoenix's Fire!
He wields all laws with his chaotic body and drives the Mystic Vine Serpent with the power of the Five Elements. His body contains the transformations of the Five Elements, so it is impossible for him to be ignited by the demonic flames.

But he can light it himself!

Using water to strengthen wood, and wood to start fire, greatly increases power, but also consumes the most magical energy.

"boom!"

Like a rainbow piercing the sun!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the spectator area, Lin Yue, who had unleashed his Nine Yang Divine Body, was repelled for the first time in a head-on clash!

"what!"

The earth sank, dust billowed, and Lin Yue almost turned into a streak of fire. His terrifying aura surged and raged, and a huge hole was burned in the void of the battle arena.

He had already pushed the Nine Yang Divine Body to its limit!
"not good!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Ying Xuanlong and the others watching from the void all frowned.

Their eyesight was excellent. Even if 'Ba Wanli' exhausted all means, he did not believe that he could defeat Lin Yue. Even if they fought it out, the latter would surely win.

But at this moment, Lin Yue, who had been repelled, suddenly used a deadly move.

When the nine yang energies are exhausted, in the modern world, this would be a deadly move!
"I will never lose!"

Lin Yue's fighting spirit surged.

Having fought countless battles, how could he not know his opponent's thoughts?
But what does he have to fear?

"boom!"

In the void, two streaks of fire collided and collided again, changing countless times and colliding in an instant.

Even with the Battle Hall's mechanics, most of the spectators were already struggling to keep up, their divine senses unable to perceive the collision between the two at such high speeds.

Only cultivators at the fourth realm or above, such as Feng Huang'er and Ying Xuanlong, can see it clearly.

"How many martial arts techniques has this person learned?!"

Phoenix felt a chill run down her spine.

Lin Yue was born into the Lin clan. Even though he was a human-Lin hybrid, he was born to cultivate the Dao. Although he was a body-refining cultivator, he had never practiced the so-called martial arts of the human race.

But he was a veteran of countless battles, and his fists, palms, legs and feet were all deadly weapons. In the face of high-speed collisions, he could simplify complex movements with his fists, palms, legs and feet.

In comparison, that 80,000 li is simply outrageous.

He had learned countless martial arts techniques, mastering them all with exquisite skill and fluidity, allowing him to withstand Lin Yue, whose strength, speed, and magical power were all superior to his own.

Not one strike, not a hundred strikes, but ten million strikes!
"Martial arts..."

At the edge of the spectator area, a middle-aged man dressed in an elegant blue robe calmly watched the battle, but his eyes clearly reflected all the reactions and moves of the two men in the midst of the high-speed collision.

In that instant, he saw a very familiar figure among them.

Hundreds of years ago, before he became the master of the Martial Immortal Sect, he met a master who looked very old.

The person before me looks exactly like that old master who calls himself the Dragon Demon…

"boom!"

Finally, under the watchful eyes of all the spectators, after the man and the tree demon collided again, one of the figures exploded with a bang, but no remains were left behind; it all vaporized and disappeared.

"Whoo~"

As the smoke and dust cleared, Lin Yue stood high in the sky, his body ablaze like the sun, his eyes sharp and piercing.

He looked down at the mysterious vine tree, but no longer showed any contempt.

The person under that tree, before entering the Dao, needless to say, and after entering the Dao, he probably only cultivated for a little over ten years, yet he was forced to such a state.

Even if you win, you've still lost.

"The gap between realms is truly difficult to cross."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

After activating the Nine Yang Divine Body, Lin Yue had surpassed Huang Yuan during the martial arts competition. His power and speed in activating the Reverse Demon Body were greater than those of the Tree Demon Body.

After multiple collisions, it was still blown apart in mid-air.

Behind him, the light of the Xuan Teng Tree dimmed. The death of the tree demon was like the death of the Xuan Teng Tree itself, and it was impossible to summon the tree demon body again in a short period of time.

"The victory is secured!"

In the void, many spectators breathed a sigh of relief. Even though it wasn't a complete rout, they had still won.

"To be able to cultivate one's natal spiritual plant to such a level is truly remarkable!"

"pity……"

As the smoke and dust settled, most of the flames on Lin Yue's body had extinguished, and the extreme heat of the Nine Yang Realm exerted immense pressure on him.
"You lost."

"not yet."

Li Yuan shook his head.

If it were Kizaru in front of him right now, he would have no chance. Nine strands of golden essence, compared to eight strands, may seem to be only one strand less, but in reality, it is the difference between perfection and incompleteness.

Kizaru's nine protective spells flowed endlessly, able to be maintained even when his magic power was exhausted, but Lin Yue clearly couldn't do that.

"Ok?"

Lin Yue's eyes narrowed, and he immediately swooped down.

No magic was used; it was just a simple impact and crushing.

Without any fancy tricks, just extreme speed and power, he was confident that he could shatter the 80,000-mile mark with a single blow.

But he was a fraction too slow.

As Li Yuan walked slowly forward, the Xuan Teng tree behind him suddenly tilted down, and thousands of branches covered him like vines and snakes. In the blink of an eye, it had wrapped him up like a large cocoon.

"boom!"

The giant tree cocoon was thrown thousands of miles away, mountains were pierced, the earth was plowed into jagged ravines, rivers dried up, and dust filled the sky.

"This is……"

Divine thoughts flew about in the void, and most cultivators sensed something was wrong, their expressions changing.

Only Wu Yunlong was not surprised:
"Cultivating the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture grants two lives..."

"boom!"

Lin Yue activated his Nine Yang Divine Body again, and with a single strike, he tore the large cocoon apart. Immediately afterward, a heavy hammer struck out from within, hitting his fist squarely.

Immediately, the hammer expanded, and with a single blow, it sent him flying a hundred miles away.

"You actually..."

Lin Yue's eyelids twitched violently.

The tattered giant cocoon disappeared into a suit of dark purple armor like ripples on water. Li Yuan stretched his muscles and sensed the blessing of the Xuan Teng Tree and all the spells.

I felt an unprecedented power fill my mind and body.

This power is extremely terrifying, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment. The conflict between dozens of spells could kill him on the spot if he lost his balance in any one of them.

But in the chaotic state, all laws originate from the mind!
"The Chaotic Body truly deserves to be called a supreme Dao Body!"

Even Li Yuan himself was deeply shocked at that moment.

This is only the Chaos Dharma Body. If he were the Chaos Saint Body, then Lin Yue's Nine Yang Divine Body would probably not even be qualified to fight him.

"What kind of Dao Body are you?!"

At that moment, Lin Yue was shaken to his core; he finally realized the problem.

The combination of one's natal spiritual plant with various spells can also be explained by the spiritual plant itself. Being able to contain dozens of continuously activated spells within one's own body must be some kind of unimaginable Dao body.

"Let's talk after we finish."

Li Yuan spoke succinctly and then leaped to his feet.

He stretched out one arm, and the dark purple armor spread out, transforming into a long-handled heavy hammer that pierced through the air for thousands of miles in an instant, like stars falling down!

"boom!"

Lin Yue activated his Nine Yang Divine Body again, and the dazzling divine light burned and boiled, neither dodging nor avoiding, and met the attack once more.

With a loud bang, the tide of battle turned. Unable to unleash the full power of Nine Yang, Lin Yue was knocked back by the heavy hammer, and waves of magical light exploded on his body.

Unlike his Tree Demon form, Li Yuan's true form, while harnessing the power of the Mystic Vine Tree to empower himself, still managed to cast all the spells he had learned!

At that moment, the hammer fell, and it was not just about force.

This also includes, but is not limited to, the 'Five Elements Body Fixation Technique,' the 'Five Elements Spirit Fixation Technique,' and the 'Five Elements Thunder Technique'!
"what!"

Even though Lin Yue's Demon Body technique was extremely powerful, he was still momentarily stunned when twenty spells were cast on him at the same time.

Immediately, it was struck through the air, like a palm print of the crimson sun, slamming into his heart!
"Boom!"

Like a heavy hammer striking a drum, Lin Yue's eyes turned bloodshot, and he was thrown off the ground like a shooting star flying against the current, soaring into the heavens.

In that instant, the cultivators in the void even felt as if Lin Yue had passed right before their eyes, and the flow of his scalding, lava-like blood seemed clearly visible.

"Lin Yue is going to lose!"

Upon seeing this scene, not only Phoenix and the others, but even ordinary cultivators could see the abnormal fluctuations of magical power on Lin Yue's body.

That palm strike contained multiple magical powers, almost breaking Lin Yue's magical power balance!
Normally, it would only take one breath to dispel the illness, but Li Yuan's speed surpassed his!

Besides his escape technique, he also possessed a spirit treasure-level Nine-Smoke Silk, a basic spirit treasure prepared by the battle arena for both combatants. This spirit treasure was inconspicuous during their fight, but at this moment, it seemed like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"boom!"

As Lin Yue soared eight thousand miles off the ground, almost piercing through the nine layers of fierce winds, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and with a burst of strength in his arms, the long-handled hammer expanded infinitely, crashing down like a star!

"boom!"

The earth sank, and smoke and dust billowed.

A moment later, the continent, which had been ravaged for so long, cracked into three pieces with a 'crack', and seawater surged out like rivers.

hum~
There was a moment of silence in the void.

As Li Yuan descended from the heavens, he instantly felt dozens or even hundreds of times more incense surging from the Five Extremes Temple than when he defeated Chao Xuanlong!
Not only were there many, but their ranks were also high, indicating that there were quite a few cultivators at the fourth or fifth realm among those watching the battle.

"puff!"

The physique of a body-refining cultivator is truly astonishing. Lin Yue fell out of his demonic body, his face pale, but he still staggered to his feet, as if he could still fight.

"You lost."

Li Yuan, carrying a heavy hammer on his shoulder, slowly approached and returned his earlier words.

"What kind of Dao body do you have?"

Lin Yue seemed to have completely disregarded the outcome of the match, staring intently at Li Yuan, wanting an answer.

He had already realized the reason for his defeat this time: his physical body was inferior to that of the Eight Thousand Miles!

Seeing his persistence, Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then secretly transmitted his voice:
"Five Extremes Divine Body!"

Five Extremes Divine Body?

Lin Yue was momentarily stunned. He naturally knew about this divine body, but he never expected it to be so terrifying...

"The strength of one's Dao body ultimately depends on how the cultivator uses it."

Li Yuan was getting anxious.

Why won't this big guy admit defeat? His magic power is completely exhausted!
"How to use..."

Lin Yue's body stiffened, then he smirked:
"Been taught a lesson!"

Then why don't you just admit defeat!

Li Yuan slammed his hammer down, leaning on his hands: "I'm waiting for your challenge!"

Lin Yue gave him a deep look:
"it is good!"

The light and shadow shattered in the next instant!

……

"Lin Yue actually lost! He actually lost!"

"Nearly a century of cultivation, yet he can't defeat a junior who's only been practicing for ten years? Does Lin Yue even deserve to be the Dao Child of the Demon Lin Academy?!"

"What kind of Dao body does that 80,000-mile-long person possess? Could it be a Saintly Body?!"

"Or is he truly a person with an innate Dao body?"

The battle arena shattered and disappeared.

Almost none of the cultivators watching from the void withdrew; their divine thoughts flew about, expressing emotions of shock, anger, or admiration.

Even with a natural aversion to cultivators from other regions, most cultivators who watched the entire battle had to admit that Ba Wanli was a truly astonishing genius.

In less than ten years, they actually managed to defeat Lin Yue!
Even if Lin Yue were to lose, no one would think he was unworthy of his reputation. He used the Nine Yang Divine Body to activate his Demonic Body, making him virtually invincible in the three realms.

"What kind of Dao body does he possess?"

Phoenix was very curious and couldn't help but send a divine thought to ask Lin Yue, but as expected, it went unanswered.

"He really won!"

Compared to Phoenix Girl, the little fire dragon girl was very excited. The fire dragon clan was not a major clan in Tian Shi Yuan, so she didn't care about the outer realms.

I even felt incredibly relieved!

Phoenix ignored her and turned to disappear from the spectator area.

"A physical body based on the Five Elements? A divine body?"

In a certain spot in the spectator area, Wu Yunlong was also frowning and guessing, hesitating whether to send a divine thought to ask Lin Yue.

"Go ahead and release it. He's not in a bad mood to care about such a defeat... right?"

……

Wuxian City.

This is the most unique main city among the five immortal cities of Tian Shi Yuan.

Other immortal cities are filled with hundreds of millions of cultivators, and outside of them, there are dense clusters of major cities. However, Martial Immortal City stands on the edge of the North Sea and prohibits outside cultivators.

"Another Enlightened Being?"

In the very center of Martial Immortal City, atop a towering divine mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds, Feng Qingcang, dressed in an elegant blue robe, sat cross-legged, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds. He frowned, his mind filled with many questions:

'That old master, who seemed to possess the body of enlightenment, could he really have died in that 'Void Abyss'?'

……

"He actually defeated Lin Yue!"

Inside the Fierce Wind Prison, Chao Xuanfeng, who had watched the entire battle, was still somewhat incredulous.

In the past, he had challenged Lin Yue, but even though he used all his skills, he was still killed by the Demon's body with a few punches.

"His progress in just over a year has been astonishing..."

Chao Xuanlong was somewhat dazed. He suspected that the 80,000 li was indeed the legendary innate Dao body. Such progress was too terrifying, and it was already approaching those world-shaking figures in ancient history.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly realized that losing to such an outstanding person was really not a disgrace.

"Om~"

At this moment, the Knowledge Sphere suddenly trembled, and after clicking on Xuanlong, its expression suddenly froze:
"Senior Brother Lin wants to see me?"

……

Demon Academy.

Lin Yue sat quietly by the sea, still holding his fishing rod, seemingly undisturbed by the outcome. However, his eyes were slightly distracted, as if he were watching the fishing rod, but his mind was actually wandering far away.

"How should one utilize the Dao Body?"

"While the Five Extremes Divine Body is indeed formidable, my Nine Yang Divine Body is no less powerful, but..."

"It seems that none of the past sages of the Demon Lin Academy have ever possessed the Nine Yang Divine Body..."

Lin Yue's emotions were churning.

He possessed a divine body nurtured by creation, not belonging to the orthodox Dao body of the Demon Lin Academy. In fact, most of the divine and demonic talents of the Demon Lin Academy throughout history originated from the Demon Lin Pool.

Moreover, most of the divine bodies conceived are 'Demon Qilin Divine Bodies'.

This not only makes it difficult for him to advance to the rank of Daozi, but also leaves him with doubts and no one to ask for answers.

"Om~"

At that moment, the General Knowledge Sphere trembled.

"Lin Yanlong!"

Upon seeing the name, Lin Yue frowned, and when he heard inquiries from people like Feng Huang'er, he felt even more speechless.

These bastards, do they even treat him like a human being?!

He was just defeated in a counterattack, doesn't he need to recover?!

"call!"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his anger, Lin Yue still opened the Knowledge Sphere.

Divine light intertwined and transformed into a curtain of light, while Lin Xinglong's face remained ashen.

"You shouldn't have lost!"

"We lost, that's it!"

Lin Yue's face twitched. Did he want to lose?

He was number one on the star list, so this defeat had a huge impact on him. Yet, he was still being held accountable.
"Before you admitted defeat, you had already exhausted your magical power over the 80,000 li. Didn't you realize that?"

Lin Yanlong's voice was deep; he had also watched the battle.

It was precisely because he watched the entire battle that he became even more certain that the 80,000 li were not only from the Weitian Dao Sect, but were very likely coming for their Tian Shi Yuan!
"...A defeat is a defeat."

Lin Yue lowered his eyelids and did not give a direct answer.

"You deliberately chose to lose."

Lin Xinglong seemed to already know the answer, and without saying much, asked:

"What kind of Dao body does he possess?"

"I agreed to his request and said I wouldn't tell anyone."

Lin Yue frowned inwardly.

"What, are you afraid of him?"

Lin Yanlong sneered.

Lin Yue's face twitched, and he replied:

"The Five Elements Dharma Body".

"what?"

Lin Xinglong almost thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"

"The Five Elements Body!"

Lin Yue sighed, "I thought he had some kind of sacred body, but he said he only has the Five Elements Body. Maybe he was lying to me..."

"The Five Elements Dharma Body".

Lin Yanlong didn't know whether he believed it or not, and casually extinguished the light and shadow.

"..."

Lin Yue's expression was blank, and he felt his anger rising, which made him lose all interest in fishing.

"What kind of divine body is that 80,000-mile-long body?"

The divine senses came from Wu Er, Feng Huang'er, Ying Xuanlong, Feng Wuding, and Huan Yitong.

"Come, step onto the battle stage!"

Lin Yue finally lost his temper and decisively chose Wu Er, venting all his anger.

……

……

"Wow~"

The moment the battle arena disappeared, Li Yuan looked up at the viewing platform that was faintly visible in the void, and then he heard the sound of surging rivers.

That was the surge of incense offerings within his divine realm!

"call!"

As the light and shadows faded, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Still not composed enough, he was just a hair's breadth away from losing..."

Even though he still had to change the object he controlled, with the support of the Sky-Piercing Boat, he could defeat Lin Yue, whose combat power had been greatly reduced, even in an instant.

But since it concerned the military command, he really didn't want to take any risks.

"Fortunately, I won!"

Li Yuan looked at the starry sky before him. The Battle Hall's reaction was much slower than before, as if it were calculating something.

After a long while, the familiar settlement screen finally lowered:
[The winner will travel 80,000 li]

The 500,000 coins for winning the challenge were insignificant. Li Yuan looked towards the spectator area, where the starry sky was trembling violently, and then a light screen descended:

[...A total of 8.36 million cultivators watched this battle...You have received 4.289 billion Yuan Coins...]

One wave, four thousand two hundred small merits!
Upon seeing this number, Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This was more than twenty times more than when he defeated Chao Xuanlong!
"If we follow up, wouldn't we be able to earn tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of merit points in one go?!"

After a quick calculation, Li Yuan felt all the mental fatigue from the battle vanish.

"Is this the true value of holding the top spot in combat for fifty years?"

Li Yuan directly felt Lin Yue's reputation, but also felt that the latter's strength was fully worthy of it.

He was very satisfied with this result. After calming down, he began to sort out and review the previous battle.

Li Yuan spent nearly two years planning to fight Lin Yue.

In the end, thanks to Kizaru's training and the enhancement of his Chaos Body and Sixth Realm Mystic Vine Serpent Shedding, they could only manage a draw.

Even if Lin Yue hadn't voluntarily conceded defeat, the outcome might not have been a draw according to the assessment of the battle arena.

"The talent of a god-like or demon-like being is truly not to be underestimated!"

Looking back on the battle, Li Yuan felt he had performed to his limit, yet he still nearly lost.

The pressure Lin Yue exerted on him even surpassed that of Kizaru in the Weitian Martial Arts Arena at one point; the commotion caused by a body-refining cultivator was truly immense.

"I had many shortcomings in this battle!"

"First, the magical power is insufficient; eighty-one levels of magical power are still too little. Second, there is no metal element enhancement; the enhancement of metal element is truly not to be underestimated..."

"Third, I need a spell that can deliver the final blow; Xuan Gang Heavy Water isn't exactly top-tier..."

"Fourth, the cultivation of the Mystic Vine Tree is insufficient. If it weren't for the support of the sixth-level Mystic Vine Snake Skin, I'm afraid the Tree Demon Body might not have been able to withstand dozens of spells..."

"Fifth, the Chaotic Body can bear all laws, and the Mystic Vine Tree can bless my body, but the pressure on my physique is immense, and I need to begin cultivating body-refining techniques..."

……

Li Yuan felt he had performed well, but he also listed out his shortcomings one by one, and he would try to make up for them one by one.

This concerns future plans and the use of good deeds; he has thought about it in great detail.

……

"If we fill in all these gaps, when the next Martial Arts Ranking opens, can we try our luck?"

After a long while, Li Yuan finally sorted things out.

He looked up at the Battle Rankings, which shone like a blazing sun in the starry sky:
"Number one on the Star Ranking, the human race is eighty thousand miles away!"
