100: Eternal Evolution Reboot

"So that's how it is... the Eternal Evolution Body requires devouring special substances to trigger transformation. Since advancing to the Spirit Refining Realm, I haven't cultivated my Physical Body for a long time. This time, I happened to encounter the rules of the Blood Arena; the energy fed back by the arena must contain substances vital for the transformation of my Physique..."

This discovery caused a sharp light to flash in Lin Yuan's eyes. He looked toward the other arenas; those arena lords who were currently devouring their opponents had now become moving supplements in his eyes. Unfortunately, he couldn't take the initiative to challenge them; he could only wait for other Soul Spirits to challenge him!

The subsequent challenges turned into a one-sided slaughter. The Black-Armored Soul Spirit ranked 65th, refusing to believe the rumors, chose Lin Yuan and was split in half by a strand of Chaos Sword Qi; the Red-Eyed Soul Spirit ranked 58th used a secret technique to hide its form, only to be dragged out and have its soul core crushed by Lin Yuan... The fall of every challenger caused Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Chaos Origin to grow slightly. When the 41st-ranked trialist—a Tier 4 Gold Soul Spirit who had just advanced on the third floor—was pierced through the heart by Lin Yuan's sword, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence.

"Who... who else wants to come?"

Lin Yuan's voice was soft, yet it sent shivers down the spines of all the Soul Spirits. The remaining challengers avoided the central arena one after another, choosing other arena lords instead. Even the strongest arena lord offered a better hope of survival than challenging Lin Yuan at this moment.

"I choose the Blood Blade Emperor!"

"I challenge the Golden Feather Emperor!"

"..."

The battles continued. The other nine arena lords grew stronger through continuous devouring. Heaven Burning Supreme had already devoured twelve challengers, his gold soul armor turning completely blood-red; the wings of the Golden Feather Emperor were covered in eerie patterns, each flap creating spatial ripples; the Blood Emperor had even condensed a physical Blood Crystal Battle Armor... By the time the last challenger fell, all nine arena lords had reached the threshold of evolving into Tier 4 Red Soul Spirits, with their combat power generally exceeding 400,000 Yu! Meanwhile, Lin Yuan stood quietly on the central arena; his comprehension of the Chaos Origin Law had risen to 3.9%. His original Indestructible Body had completely evolved into a new Physique—the Great Void Body: Trait 1, Untouched by Myriad Laws, a Perfect Great Void Body can grant immunity to 100% of Law damage; Trait 2, Ethereal Body, increases Cultivation speed and Law comprehension speed.

"Final stage."

The ancient voice rang out once more:

"The ten arena lords may choose whether to continue the slaughter. For every arena lord killed, one can obtain all of their cultivation and insights."

Nine gazes filled with killing intent locked onto Lin Yuan simultaneously. Heaven Burning Supreme licked his lips: "Human, your luck has run out."

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan chuckled. "The nine of you, come at me together."

"Arrogant!"

The nine Peak Soul Spirits attacked simultaneously. Heaven Burning Supreme's blood flames transformed into nine hideous Dragons; Golden Feather Emperor's wings shot out thousands of golden rays; the Blood Emperor directly turned into a blood-colored giant sword spanning the sky... "Chaos · Nine Tribulations!"

Lin Yuan pointed his sword toward the heavens, and nine murky strands of Sword Qi soared into the sky. Each strand of Sword Qi contained different Law variations: the first carried an aura of extreme cold to freeze the blood-flame Dragons; the second was entwined with thunder to shatter the golden feather rays; the third contained the power of light to purify the blood sword... *Boom boom boom...*

Amidst the deafening explosions, Lin Yuan's figure suddenly vanished. In the next moment, he appeared behind the Blood Blade Emperor at the very edge.

"The first one."

The Heaven Extreme Sword swept across gently. The Blood Blade Emperor was shocked to find his vision spinning—he saw his own headless body slowly falling. A thick pillar of blood descended from the sky, and Lin Yuan's Chaos Origin Law instantly broke through to 4.5%! His Great Void Body also improved to 2%. The gains from slaying the Blood Blade Emperor were much greater than those from the previous Law Spirits. He wondered what kind of substance that blood pillar from the sky actually contained?

"Form a formation! Quickly, form a formation!"

The remaining eight Soul Spirits hurriedly changed their formation, but Lin Yuan was even faster. His figure flickered across the arena like a ghost, each appearance accompanied by the fall of a powerful enemy.

"The second one." The Golden Halberd Emperor's gold soul armor was like paper before the Chaos Sword Qi.

"The third one." The Illusionary Sound Emperor's sonic attacks were directly devoured by the Chaos power.

"..."

By the time only Heaven Burning Supreme remained, this once-arrogant Soul Spirit was so terrified that his soul form was unstable. He knelt on the arena, kowtowing frantically: "Spare me! I'm willing to offer everything..."

"The ninth one."

A flash of sword light passed, and Heaven Burning Supreme's head flew high. An unprecedentedly thick pillar of blood enveloped Lin Yuan's entire body, and his Chaos Origin finally broke through to the 6% mark! A mysterious sense of power filled his body; Lin Yuan felt as if his consciousness had touched some supreme Realm. As Lin Yuan refined all the energy contained within that thick blood pillar, his Great Void Body also advanced to 5% progress.

Lin Yuan glanced at his Data Panel.

[Total combat power: 1,260,000 Yu]

"The trial has ended."

The ancient voice announced:

"The sole winner, Gloomy Net."

"The passage to the fifth floor has opened."

A blood-colored pillar of light descended from the sky, and Lin Yuan's figure vanished from the arena.

When the blood-colored pillar of light dissipated, Lin Yuan's vision suddenly cleared. This was a boundless blood-colored space. In the center floated a circular blood pool a thousand-zhang in diameter; the liquid within was as viscous as mercury, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations. Above the blood pool, nine blood-colored chains hung from the void, their ends binding a familiar figure—Nine Nether Emperor!

"Is this... the Heavenly Soul Pool?"

Lin Yuan's pupils constricted. By now, Nine Nether Emperor had completely changed. His original human body was already semi-soul-spiritized, his skin appearing eerily translucent. What flowed within him was no longer blood, but viscous Soul Power. Even more terrifying was the blood-colored vertical pupil that had appeared on his forehead, emitting a hair-raising ancient aura.

"Jie jie jie... I've finally been waiting for you, Lin Yuan."

Nine Nether Emperor's voice became hoarse and layered, as if countless voices were speaking at once. He slowly raised his hand, and the liquid in the Heavenly Soul Pool suddenly boiled, transforming into nine blood Dragons that circled his body.

"You are not Nine Nether Emperor." Lin Yuan's chaos heavenly extreme sword was already unsheathed. "The Soul Spirit Progenitor?"

"Clever!" Nine Nether Emperor—or rather, the entity possessed by the Progenitor—laughed weirdly. "That fool was eroded by me as soon as he entered the Heaven Soul Holy Land. From you, I smell the scent of the Devouring Origin. I've been waiting for this day for a long time..."

The blood-colored vertical pupil suddenly snapped open, and a terrifying mental shock swept through. Lin Yuan's Chaos Dharma Body manifested automatically; dense Chaos runes appeared on the surface of the ten-meter-tall Dharma Body, barely managing to block the attack.
