In the end, only the strongest one, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, managed to escape into the deep sea.
Seeing this, Ye Xuqiu wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by Ye Linyuan. He shook his head and said, "No, set up a formation to deal with them first."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan immediately activated the formation, relying on the large third-level spiritual vein in this place, to set up a large third-level lower-grade compound formation.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan glanced at everyone and couldn't help but feel a little certain in his heart.
In this battle, almost all of the Ye family’s immortal clan came out. Except for himself, the six middle-stage Jindan cultivators, Ye Yingxu, Ye Xuqiu, Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, and Ye Chongyun, all showed up.
In addition, the four middle-stage Jindan cultivators, Han Chi, Fighting Golden Ape, Cang Yue Bei and Fu Shan Ao, also all arrived at the battlefield.
This time, Ye Linyuan did not bring out guests such as Ye Xuanheng, Shuica and Jinchi Peng, because two or three ordinary early Jindan cultivators would not be of much help in this battle, and they might even be in danger of dying.
The mountain protection formations of the Xuanyuan Islands and Yueyuan Sea also require Jindan cultivators to unleash their full power.
In addition to the Ye family, the seven Jindan cultivators of the Tianxing Sword Sect were also secretly invited by Ye Linyuan. They concealed their aura and hid thousands of miles away, ready to come to support immediately once the war began.
With so many powerful Jindan masters, Ye Linyuan boasted that he could fight even against a Jindan master of great perfection.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly, and then said: "Send a message to them."
"it is good."
Upon seeing this, Shui Hanqing cast out a communication talisman.
Afterwards, everyone in the Ye family began to recuperate, restore their magic power and wait for the start of the war.
The years passed so slowly that before I knew it, several months had passed.
Early in the morning of that day, Ye Linyuan was in seclusion and practicing, when he suddenly sensed several strong auras approaching.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the vast sky. Two extraordinary figures broke through the air.
"Junior Brother Ye, you are really well prepared."
Above the sky, Li Xuangeng walked calmly, and Taoist Gray Whale stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan said calmly, "There are only two people. This doesn't seem like your method."
"Junior Brother Ye is indeed a smart person."
Li Xuangeng smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoists, please come out."
In an instant, multiple figures flew out of the void one after another.
Ye Linyuan looked up and frowned slightly. He saw Liu Changge and the six golden elixirs of the Liu family, the ancestor of the Su family, and the five golden elixir ancestors of the Meng family in the crowd.
"Thirteen great golden elixir masters?"
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, and his eyes moved slightly.
It would be fine if there were only thirteen golden elixirs, but among these thirteen golden elixirs, there are three in the middle stage of golden elixir from the Liu, Su and Meng families, and there is also the great cultivator Liu Changge who is in the late stage of golden elixir.
Together with Li Xuangeng and Taoist Gray Whale, there are two late Jindan masters, four middle Jindan masters and nine early Jindan masters. With such combined strength, it is more than enough to strangle a late Jindan master.
But even so, Ye Linyuan's expression remained calm as usual.
Seeing this, Li Xuangeng immediately smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ye doesn't seem to be panicking. It seems that Junior Brother is waiting for something."
At this point, Li Xuangeng smiled and said, "Unfortunately, the person you are waiting for may not be able to come."
"boom--"
At this moment, a frenzy of atmosphere suddenly erupted in the distant sea.
Dozens of powerful golden elixir masters collided with each other, and an unprecedented war broke out.
Ye Linyuan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately looked into the distance, only to see a group of sky whales wreaking havoc in all directions, while the seven sword masters of the Tianxing Sword Sect were forming the Seven Star Sword Formation to fight against them.
This group of sky whales is too powerful, and the sky whale in the late Jindan stage has recovered its cultivation.
The sword masters of the Tianxing Sword Sect were under great pressure. Even after they revived their sword spirits and even released seven or eight golden elixir puppets and spirit beasts, they still found it difficult to completely suppress them.
"I found this group of sky whales thirty years ago."
Li Xuangeng spoke calmly, then looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "I used the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong to heal its wounds, and even found a third-grade top-grade healing medicine for it, just to completely cut off your reinforcements today."
"Brother Li, there is no need to say more. To avoid any more trouble, let's get started quickly."
At this moment, Liu Changge above the sky slowly spoke.
But he came calmly through the air, and with a flick of his sleeve, an ancient sword shaped like a willow leaf flew into the air and attacked the mountain protection formation, instantly shaking the formation violently.
Upon seeing this, all the Jindan present also took action, using one magical power after another to cut through the sky, and violently collided with the formation.
"Don't let them break the formation."
Ye Linyuan's face changed drastically as he spoke. He immediately raised the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag to resist, but was completely suppressed by Li Xuangeng's Canghai Formation.
Seeing that Ye Linyuan was suppressed, Li Xuangeng sneered and said, "Junior Brother Ye, where is your Extreme Breaking Pill? Have you used it up?"
"Oh, by the way, I'm afraid that Second Master can't even refine a third-level, mid-grade Breakthrough Pill."
Li Xuangeng sneered repeatedly, and then said: "Everyone, Ye Linyuan's magic power is suppressed by me, and he can only exert 50% of his strength."
"You don't have to worry about losing mana. As long as you can break this formation, it will be fine if you can stop the others. I can kill them all by myself."
Taoist Gray Whale suddenly laughed grimly, looked at Shui Hanqing and said: "I didn't expect you to break through the middle stage of the Golden Core. It seems that you have indeed cultivated a superior foundation."
"That's fine. As long as I can kill you, I will have a chance to break through not only the seventh level of the Golden Core, but even the eighth level."
The Su clan's ancestor also laughed wildly, and said with a ferocious face: "Hahaha, Xuanyuan kid, today I can finally settle the grudge of slaughtering my Su clan's golden elixir with you."
The heroes spoke one after another, and they all attacked the formation frantically and coldly, even taking out high-level talismans and other trump cards. Soon the formation here was already shaky.
Seeing that the formation could not hold out for much longer, Ye Linyuan looked at Shui Hanqing and the others and said, "Later, Xuqiu, Yingxu, and Hanqing, the three of you will join forces to besiege Liu Changge. Remember not to let him find a chance to attack Lingxi."
Upon hearing this, the three of them nodded solemnly.
They knew very well that although they were both practicing the ancient scroll of Willow Catkins Following the Wind, Liu Changge's cultivation was one level higher than Chu Lingxi's. With the suppression of magic power and supernatural powers, the gap between the two would be widened to the extreme.
In a battle, if Chu Lingxi was not careful, he might be killed instantly by the opponent.
Therefore, when facing Liu Changge, he must use his absolute superior strength to restrain him so that he has no time to attack Chu Lingxi.
Back to the topic, while everyone was discussing, the battle had already broken out.
Liu Changge and others spared no expense and took out three third-grade top-quality talismans in succession, plus a batch of third-grade mid- and low-quality talismans, and directly blasted open the formation prepared by Ye Linyuan and others.
Afterwards, Li Xuangeng directly summoned the Great Sea Formation to trap Ye Linyuan, and said with a cold face: "Junior Brother Ye, it's time for you and me to come to an end."
At the same time, the war among the others present had completely broken out.
Ye Xuqiu faced the battle head-on. With his golden pupil that could see through delusion and the peak combat power of the Nine-Patterned Golden Pill, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage when facing Liu Changge.
Shui Hanqing was holding him back from the side, and even though his cultivation was inferior, he was able to suppress Liu Changge together with Ye Xuqiu.
The most crucial thing was that Ye Yingxu summoned eight golden elixir puppets and set up a golden elixir puppet formation to surround Li Changge, forcing Li Changge to be unable to escape.
In addition to these three people, other Jindan masters of the Ye family also took action.
The cold Chi stopped the ancestor of the Meng family, the fighting golden ape suppressed the ancestor of the Su family, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi used their swords together to fight against the three middle-stage Jindan clan leaders, the Liu clan leader, the clan spirit beast, and the Jindan puppet without losing the upper hand.
The remaining three middle-stage Jindan cultivators, Fushan Ao, Cangyue Jun and Ye Chongyun, were more than enough to stop a group of early-stage Jindan cultivators and the Gray Whale Taoist who had lost his giant whale.
"So many middle-stage Jindan!"
At the same time, Li Xuangeng also realized that the situation on the battlefield was not right, and immediately showed a look of horror.
But when he looked at Ye Linyuan, he couldn't help but said solemnly: "I didn't expect you to have so many cards. It's a pity that you didn't choose to change your opponent, which was your biggest mistake."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuangeng summoned the Canghai Formation and suppressed Ye Linyuan from above.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the power of the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag surged, instantly overwhelming Li Xuangeng's Canghai Formation, completely trapping him in the vast formation.
"Impossible!" Li Xuangeng's face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "I have already calculated that you don't have the Breakthrough Pill at all. How could you still have such magical power?"
At this moment, Li Xuangeng couldn't believe it and his face was filled with fear.
Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said: "You are right, but if I am not sure, why would I not choose to change my opponent?"
At this moment, Li Xuangeng was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately.
Yes, Ye Linyuan has a strength close to the late Jindan stage. If the quality of his mana is insufficient, he can choose to exchange opponents with Shui Hanqing and others.
He will deal with Liu Changge, and Shui Hanqing and others will deal with Li Xuangeng, so that they can exert their full strength.
However, Ye Linyuan chose Li Xuangeng, which shows that he was not afraid of Li Xuangeng's magical suppression at all.
Li Xuangeng understood, but still couldn't believe it and said, "But why? I have clearly calculated and confirmed again and again that you don't have the Extreme Breaking Pill in your hand."
"You underestimate Ye."
Ye Linyuan smiled slightly, and suddenly he exuded an earth-shaking aura, and slashed towards Li Xuangeng with a monstrous sword intent: "Why do I need the Extreme Breaking Pill to kill you?"
"This is……"
At this moment, Li Xuangeng sensed Ye Linyuan's aura of the Nine-Pattern Golden Pill, and immediately said in shock, "You cultivated the Nine-Pattern Golden Pill?"
At this moment, Li Xuangeng became completely depressed, revealing a hint of despair.
The Natural Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir is the most flawless golden elixir in the world, and is enough to ignore the suppression of fellow practitioners to a certain extent.
Although Li Xuangeng's cultivation is stronger, the quality of his elixir is only that of a seven-lined golden elixir. How can he suppress Ye Linyuan's perfect and flawless nine-lined golden elixir?
Li Xuangeng gave a wry smile and guessed the cause and effect of everything.
At this moment, Li Xuangeng felt that taking the Poji Pill before was just a trick used by Ye Linyuan to confuse him.
Over the years, Li Xuangeng has devoted most of his energy to confirming whether Ye Linyuan still has the Poji Dan.
To this end, he even paid a considerable price and asked the masters of the Tianji lineage to calculate again and again, and only after confirming that there was really no Poji Pill left did he make up his mind to take action.
But he never thought that Ye Linyuan had never relied on the Po Ji Dan from the beginning.
"So you've been pretending to take the Extreme Breaking Pill just to completely confuse me and make me misjudge your strength and trump card, thus creating an opportunity to kill you with one strike today."
"Good planning, great courage, great scheming. Li's defeat was not unjust."
Li Xuangeng finally spoke slowly, revealing a look of relief.
He was born with a nine-patterned golden elixir. Even the Haohai Sect in its heyday had never produced such a peerless genius.
Finally, he sighed, looking at the vast sea formation that completely blocked the heaven and earth, and the endless sword domain of killing, and the last trace of fighting spirit slowly emerged in his heart.
But he sighed, and then said with a firm look: "I, Li Xuan Geng, have committed many evil deeds in my life, killing my father, murdering my mother, devouring my son, and swallowing the Tao. All I want is a glimmer of hope for a chance to achieve enlightenment."
"Having ruled for more than 600 years, he also calls himself a genius of his generation."
“However, I have only just realized today that the world is so vast and there are so many heroes. Compared to the true geniuses, I am nothing but a pile of bones in a tomb.
"To die at the hands of a great man like you, my life as Li Xuangeng has not been in vain."
Ye Linyuan did not comment on this, but just sighed and said: "If I can see Brother Changzhou again on the road to the underworld, please say hello to him for me."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan used all his strength to activate his physical skills and used the Wanhua Sword Technique with a flick of his sleeve.
In an instant, an endless rain of swords shook the world, transforming into an ancient sword that pierced through the sky, and finally completely destroyed Li Xuangeng and turned him into dust.
"ended."
Watching Li Xuangeng transform into Tao, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Li Xuangeng is ruthless, meticulous, and decisive. He is considered a hero among the Jindan masters.
If the Haohai Sect had not been destroyed, the possibility of him breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would be very high.
In fact, if Ye Linyuan had not appeared, he should have devoured Li Changzhou to break through the late Jindan period, and then found the trace of the Haohai Token from the Blood Soul Taoist.
All of them are to open the treasure house of Haohai Sect. Coupled with this person's ruthless style of doing things, if there were no Nascent Soul True Lord blocking his way, then the possibility of his breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Lord would probably not be low.
Unfortunately, he met Ye Linyuan, who had lived two lives.
Whether in terms of strength, understanding, scheming, potential, or planning, this person is far inferior to Ye Linyuan.
In fact, Ye Linyuan didn't even make any serious plans to deal with Li Xuangeng.
Ye Linyuan simply hid multiple trump cards at the time, and used the secret technique of heaven to mislead this person's calculations, which led to today's result.
If Ye Linyuan had taken hundreds of years to plan, Li Xuangeng would probably not even know how he died.
Of course, a mere Li Xuangeng was not worth Ye Linyuan's effort of hundreds of years. He could take him down with just a little trick.
"Walk--"
Just when Li Xuangeng died, everyone on the battlefield suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Liu Changge broke through the battlefield in the first moment, and then decisively sacrificed a third-grade top-grade treasure boat, and flew away with everyone.
The Ye family members chased him all the way, but they only had time to kill three early-stage Jindan before they were completely thrown away and chased away.
"No need to chase."
Seeing that the people from the three major families disappeared, Ye Linyuan did not let everyone chase and kill them.
In order to put on a complete show, Ye Linyuan had to pretend that he had swallowed Li Xuangeng's Dao essence. This would not only make people think that he was also on the path of swallowing the Dao, but also cover up the abnormality of his cultivation speed.
Let's get back to the point. If you follow the path of swallowing the Tao, you naturally cannot let the essence of the Tao dissipate in vain.
So at this moment Ye Linyuan asked everyone to protect him and pretend to devour Li Xuangeng's Tao essence.
Compared with this, the escape of just three major families is nothing big.
In Ye Linyuan's eyes, the three major families were just clowns. The only troublesome one was Liu Changge, and he was not sure he could keep him with his current strength.
After all, the ancient scroll of Willow Catkins in the Wind is known for its speed, and even a Golden Core Great Perfection would find it difficult to catch up with it if one tries to escape at full speed.
About half a day later, Ye Linyuan pretended to have finished swallowing the Tao and put away the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
At this time, the Sky Whale tribe had already retreated, and the seven sword masters of the Tianxing Sword Sect had also followed.
But seeing the Minghuang Sword Master coming over, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, for killing a fellow practitioner. I'm afraid you will soon break through to the late Jindan stage."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "It has not been long since I broke through the Jindan stage, but I have completed the swallowing path one after another. I am worried that it is not very stable and I will not be able to break through the late Jindan stage in a short time."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly.
The Lord of Desolate Sword sighed, and then said, "You are still very young, so it is better to consolidate it, so that your foundation is not solid enough, which will increase the difficulty of forming a fetus in the future."
Ye Linyuan didn't say anything more, but just asked about the battle between the Tianxing Sword Sect and the Giant Whale Clan.
With the information provided by the seven sword masters, Ye Linyuan quickly understood the outcome of the battle.
In this battle, the Tianxing Sword Faction fought against the Tianjing tribe, and overall they won, only killing one Jindan Tianjing whale.
The reason why such great results were achieved was mainly because after years of accumulation, the Tianxing Sword Sect had added a lot of mid-stage Jindan sword masters.
Several of them activated the sword spirit, and with the power of the Seven Star Sword Formation, they eventually defeated and severely injured the leader of the Sky Whale.
However, the injuries suffered by the Sky Whale leader were not as serious as in the initial battle.
The fundamental reason is that there was no help from Ye Xuqiu. Ye Xuqiu's combat power at that time might not be as good as it is now, but he possessed the golden eyes that could see through the enemy's weaknesses.
In the battle, if Ye Xuqiu could seize the opportunity, his role would be more important than that of several early Jindan warriors.
Without Ye Xuqiu's help, the Tianxing Sword Sect this time had three middle-stage Jindan sword masters who had awakened their sword spirits. They were able to completely crush the Tianjing, but they were still unable to pose a fatal threat to it.
It is precisely because of this that the leader of the Sky Whales was able to lead the tribe to retreat safely. (End of this chapter)
