Chapter 95: Ancient Legend
The battle began.
Yun Ye surrounded himself with Azure Flame, intertwined with Nether Fire, and drew his iron sword to fight against the ten Blue Lantern Ghosts.
As beams of blue light shined down, trying to immobilize Yun Ye, he swiftly dodged the majority, with only a few unable to evade, hitting the Nether Fire and being completely neutralized.
“Flowing Fire!”
Flames surged, dividing the battlefield and creating a one-on-two scenario. Immediately, Yun Ye swung his sword and sliced one Blue Lantern Ghost in half.
“Physical attacks are ineffective…”
“Black Flame!”
Halfway through the strike, black flames ignited on Yun Ye’s sword, burning through the first Blue Lantern Ghost.
He could feel a distinct resistance; unlike ordinary monsters from the outside world, the Blue Lantern Ghosts here possessed strength close to that of high-level monsters.
“So this is the starting difficulty?”
In the next second, Yun Ye turned and pierced the body of the second Blue Lantern Ghost, the Black Flame spreading and turning it to ashes.
The remaining Blue Lantern Ghosts projected blue light, extinguishing the Flowing Fire and surrounding him again.
Just as Yun Ye prepared to continue, there was a “crack,” and his iron sword turned to ashes.
He sighed, not paying much attention, and quickly drew a second rusty sword, charging towards the Blue Lantern Ghosts once more.
Knowing their strength, Yun Ye entered a chopping mode, and in just a few seconds, he wiped out the remaining eight Blue Lantern Ghosts.
Before Yun Ye could catch his breath, new monsters quickly appeared.
This time, there were ten completely different monsters, each with various abilities, but their level still fell within the range of ordinary monsters.
With the combination of various abilities, things became more troublesome, yet Yun Ye still managed to eliminate the ten monsters with ease.
However, this time, it took Yun Ye longer, mainly because the weapons broke multiple times, forcing him into prolonged encounters.
Many monsters carried potent toxins, causing his weapons to absorb a portion of that damage.
If he were to fight barehanded, he would have to expend extra spirit energy to avoid injury.
Yun Ye did not know how long this trial would last, so he naturally aimed to conserve his strength as much as possible.
The third wave arrived swiftly.
This time, it featured ten lower-level high monsters.
All of them were blood-red mantises.
These monsters were incredibly fast, often separating heads from bodies in the blink of an eye during battle.
As the ten appeared, the blood-red surged forth, entering a frenzied state, with their physical qualities significantly enhanced.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The ten blood-red mantises transformed into ten streaks of light, attacking Yun Ye with astonishing speed.
If it had been the old Yun Ye, he would probably need to awaken his Spiritual Roots now.
But after consuming large amounts of Spiritual Herbs, Yun Ye’s body and Spirit Sense had surpassed ordinary people by more than fifty times, making that unnecessary.
“Heart Fire!”
“Azure Flame!”
Yun Ye entered a state of incredible speed, and the ten streaks of light slowed down, almost coming to a halt.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yun Ye abandoned his sword and used his fists, punching one blood-red mantis until it melted entirely under the high temperature. The remaining blood-red mantises attempted to adjust their strategy, tightening their joint attack.
But when they appeared in front of Yun Ye, they were too slow. A swift kick shattered two blood-red mantises, and an elbow strike crushed another that tried to sneak up from behind with its sharp scythe-like arms.
Then, with a light leap, he jumped into the air, raising his leg and coming down forcefully.
Boom!
Three blood-red mantises were blown to pieces, buried along with various old armors, swords, and blades.
In the blink of an eye, all ten blood-red mantises were wiped out.
“The fourth wave…”
Ten lower-level high monsters with different appearances revealed their fangs and began a relentless coordinated assault.
This time, Yun Ye still emerged victoriously, overpowering the lower-level high monsters due to their essential differences.
Then came the fifth wave.
Ten upper-level high monsters.
Yun Ye remained strong, and after fully activating the Extreme Flame, he effortlessly annihilated all ten upper-level high monsters.
The sixth wave brought ten completely different upper-level high monsters.
Yun Ye continued to dominate.
However, this battle left him with injuries, as some monsters had unknown abilities and caught him off guard. If it weren’t for the Nether Fire, which allowed him to navigate the underworld and avoid nearly all deadly crises, he would have needed to awaken his Spiritual Roots.
The seventh wave arrived.
Once again, the difficulty increased, featuring ten extraordinary high monsters.
Each one matched the level of the spiritual zombie Shi Qing, with powers and abilities that were both strange and formidable.
“Spiritual Roots revival!”
Yun Ye finally awakened his Spiritual Roots.
In an instant, the flames surged tenfold, enveloping Yun Ye in blazing fire like a demon god. With a single strike of Black Flame, several extraordinary high monsters had no way to defend themselves and were burned to charcoal.
The slaughter began.
Yun Ye, with his speed, power, and spirit energy destruction, crushed the ten extraordinary high monsters. Even using some scrap metal as weapons, he faced no obstacles, resolving the battle in a short amount of time.
He remained unfazed.
In the past, he could defeat Shi Qing in an instant; now, many years had passed, and he not only unlocked his physical vitality but also reached the pinnacle with the Three Major Techniques, making those ten monsters nothing to worry about.
The eighth wave approached.
Ten extraordinary high monsters, each with different forms and abilities.
Thunder Light Snake, Soul-less Ghost Fish, spiritual zombies, Soul-snatching Demon…
Each one’s power far exceeded that of the spiritual zombie Shi Qing that Yun Ye had encountered before.
Perhaps their strength had been maxed out, reaching the peak of this stage.
But this held no meaning for Yun Ye.
With his extraordinary physical qualities and the revival of his Spiritual Roots aided by the Extreme Flame, did these high-level monsters really think they could cause trouble?
"Heart Fire!"
"Nether Fire!"
Yun Ye unleashed all his power, striking down one monster at a time with his sword, the Nether Fire directly destroying their souls.
Once Yun Ye killed all ten extraordinary high monsters, the ninth wave did not come immediately; instead, it slowly took shape as a figure emerged from the void.
Words also began to materialize from the emptiness.
"Ancient unparalleled genius, Thunder True Feather."
"Step! Step! Step! Step!"
The footsteps of the phantom echoed, shaking the space and causing Yun Ye’s blood to surge.
"What is this?"
Yun Ye was somewhat shocked.
This figure seemed extraordinary, already inducing a sensation of wanting to vomit blood even before fully appearing.
His spirit energy had reached the third level after consuming many Spiritual Herbs, but due to his inherent limitations, the herbs could no longer enhance him.
His Spirit Sense extended a hundred meters, faintly sensing danger, yet it could not progress any further.
His physical body was even more robust, his life energy completely filling his body, leaving no gaps, granting him physical qualities fifty times that of an ordinary person.
With the Three Major Techniques united, even without weapons or other treasures to assist him, he could transcend realms and defeat Chaotic-level monsters!
In this situation, he could not make a Spiritual Law master vomit blood just from the sound of footsteps, especially not one of the same level as him!
But soon, Yun Ye realized that the other party wielded laws, which was completely different from his brute force use of spirit energy.
The figure stepped out entirely—a black-haired youth in ancient dark armor, with a lightning mark on his forehead. He appeared delicate, and with a glance from his black eyes, yellow lightning flickered around him, his terrifying aura sending shivers down Yun Ye’s spine.
This was no ordinary Thunder Element!
Lightning surged!
In an instant, the black-haired youth vanished, completely surpassing Yun Ye’s dynamic vision.
"Heart Fire!"
Yun Ye’s heart raced as the Heart Fire burned fiercely within him, transforming all his abilities into a boost for his physical qualities—
But it was still too late!
A hand pierced through Yun Ye’s heart, yellow lightning erasing all his cells.
Before Yun Ye stood a black-haired youth with upright hair, his pupils turned to gold, enveloped in golden lightning, moving with unimaginable speed, leaving even the Heart Fire with no time to react.
"Whoosh…"
The White Mist swirled once more, and by the time Yun Ye regained his senses, his injuries had vanished without a trace, and he still stood before the Stone Tablet.
