476: Chaos Secret Realm!

The attack of that Star Battle Soul appeared so pale and powerless before him. In less than ten breaths, its core was pierced by an extremely condensed Star Power, causing it to collapse and transform into pure star energy, which Ye Xuan quietly absorbed.

The first Battle Soul, annihilated! Ye Xuan's Battle Merit +1.

With a flash of light, the arena immediately began to condense a second Battle Soul, its aura even stronger than before.

Ye Xuan remained calm and composed, standing with his hands behind his back, awaiting his next opponent.

To him, this was more like being given an ordinary Puppet; these so-called Battle Souls posed no threat to him whatsoever.

After all, if it came to the control of Star Power, Ye Xuan dared to claim second place, and no one would dare to say they were first.

On the other arenas, the battles were much more intense.

Tang Linglong's opponent was an Earth Battle Soul with astonishing defense. Her sharp sword Qi could only leave shallow white marks on it.

But her Sword Dao Heart was clear, and her comprehension of the Sword Dao over so many years allowed her to quickly find the operational node of the Battle Soul's power, directly breaking it with a single sword strike!

Fire Linger faced a Profound Ice Battle Soul, whose extreme coldness countered her Nirvana Power.

However, these powers were still insufficient for Fire Linger. A powerful burst of flames erupted—the flames of the Phoenix Clan, further infused with Dragon God Power.

When they erupted, they far surpassed ordinary Nirvana Fire, instantly melting the Profound Ice Battle Soul.

Yue Xuan's battle was the most peculiar. Her Battle Soul was a Heart Demon Battle Soul, formless and intangible, specializing in attacking the Divine Soul.

However, Yue Xuan's Dao Heart was like ancient cold ice, and Taiyin Power was the supreme power to cleanse Heart Demons. The Heart Demon Battle Soul was purified by the moonlight before it could even get close.

Sacred Maiden Shen Lan's opponent was also special, but under Sacred Maiden Shen Lan's power, the Battle Soul didn't even get a chance to attack before it was sealed by her power and disappeared.

Huang Li and the others acted together, and those powerful Battle Souls also melted away.

However, not everyone was so fortunate.

A lone powerful practitioner from a minor clan, facing a Gold Battle Soul that completely countered his attributes, exhausted all his means but could not break its defense. In the end, he was pierced through the chest by an incomparably sharp golden light, screaming as he was teleported out by the arena's light screen, his life unknown.

Clearly, even if he survived, he would undoubtedly be severely injured, his Foundation completely ruined, making future cultivation difficult.

Another Yao Race Prodigy, due to carelessness, was corroded by the poisonous mist released by his own Poison Battle Soul. Although he barely defeated the Battle Soul, he was deeply poisoned, sitting cross-legged with a pale face to recuperate.

Having been unfortunately injured by just one Battle Soul, he would have no strength to fight when subsequent Battle Souls appeared. Whether he could survive the subsequent battles remained unknown.

It seemed he, too, would be eliminated; otherwise, forcing himself to fight on would only put him in mortal danger.

Elimination proceeded silently.

Arena light screens continuously dimmed, indicating that their owners had failed and departed.

But many Prodigies also defeated the Battle Souls, advancing one after another.

The scene also reached a fever pitch.

One hour seemed long, but it flew by rapidly amidst the intense battles.

On Ye Xuan's arena, the Battle Souls had changed more than a dozen times!

From Star Battle Souls to Blazing Battle Souls, from Lightning Battle Souls to Weak Water Battle Souls, to Profound Ice Battle Souls, Gold Battle Souls, Fire Battle Souls, and so on.

In short, Battle Souls of various attributes and Daos took turns, their strength growing progressively. The last few were already comparable to top Immortal Kings!

Even the Prodigies present had to face these powerful forces with full focus, or a single mistake could lead to their demise.

But Ye Xuan always responded calmly. He did not reveal his full strength, merely using the power of Heavenly Dao and Star Power according to the Battle Soul's attributes.

He effortlessly defeated these Battle Souls one by one.

He even took this Opportunity to further merge the newly acquired Star Power with his other Daos, making his combat techniques even more refined and fluid.

When the last Void Realm Battle Soul, exuding chaotic, distorted power, was directly devoured by his Chaos Dao Domain, the one-hour time limit had just ended!

And this was an unknown number of Battle Souls that Ye Xuan had defeated.

Compared to the panting appearance of the other Prodigies, Ye Xuan was even more composed, his robes without a single wrinkle.

It was as if fighting these Battle Souls was no difficult task for him at all.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The light screens of all arenas lit up simultaneously, and the battles were forcibly stopped.

The magnificent voice announced the results.

"Time's up!"

"The second round of the Myriad Races Arena has ended!"

"Eliminated: thirty-nine people!"

"Remaining: forty-two people, ranked by Battle Merit!"

Above the plaza, a huge light screen appeared, clearly listing forty-two names and their corresponding Battle Merit values.

The first place, astonishingly, was Ye Xuan!

Battle Merit: thirty-six!

This meant he had consecutively defeated thirty-six Battle Souls of continuously increasing strength within one hour!

Such strength was truly immense!

Second place, Silver Punishment, Battle Merit: twenty-nine.

Third place, Nether Bone, Battle Merit: twenty-eight.

Fourth place, Long Ao, Battle Merit: twenty-seven.

Fifth place, Qishan, Battle Merit: twenty-six... Tang Linglong ranked fifteenth, Fire Linger eighteenth, Yue Xuan twenty-first, Sacred Maiden Shen Lan twenty-fifth, Huang Li thirty-second.

They all successfully advanced!

Seeing Yue Xuan's ranking, Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow. If Yue Xuan were serious, even a top three spot would not be a problem.

Now only ranked twenty-first, it seemed to be her own decision.

The forty-two remaining people in the plaza had varied expressions upon seeing the rankings.

Ye Xuan's far-leading Battle Merit once again struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Even Silver Punishment and Nether Bone looked at Ye Xuan with unprecedented solemnity.

This young man was definitely their greatest rival in contending for the ultimate Opportunity!

"The top nine will enter the final round, the Chaos Secret Realm!"

The voice of the grand will carried a subtle fluctuation.

"Opening in three hours!"

Chaos Secret Realm!

Hearing these four words, all the survivors' breathing quickened.

Rumor had it that it was the most core secret place of Zhonghuang Mountain, containing the ultimate mysteries of achieving Dao and even transcendence!

The final competition was about to unfold in that legendary Secret Realm!

Ye Xuan's eyes gleamed. He felt the Chaos Fire Seed in his Sea of Consciousness already leaping with excitement, resonating strongly with the Coming soon (about to) open Secret Realm.

Tai Hao's scheme, the clue of the Primordial Chaos Green Lotus—all the answers might be revealed there!

He glanced at Tang Linglong and the others beside him, who were also full of Battle Intent, and at Ya Ya, who was still innocent and protected by Fire Linger. His conviction grew even stronger.

No matter how arduous the path ahead, he would surely secure a spot in this final selection!

And he would definitely figure out what this ultimate scheme was.
