233: Instantly defeated a powerful enemy

"Blood Slaughter Profound Realm, Leader, Slayer of a Thousand Hells!" He grinned, revealing snow-white fangs, his voice sounding like the friction of sand and stone. "I heard you were quite arrogant in the Beiming Profound Realm competition? I love crushing heads like yours that don't know the height of the heavens!" He suddenly pulled out the giant serrated blade from his back and pointed it at Lin Yuan from a distance. A terrifying killing intent, mixed with illusions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, struck toward Lin Yuan like a physical shockwave! That killing intent was so thick and viscous that it even caused the spatial barriers at the edge of the arena to ripple imperceptibly.

Beyond the stands, it was not empty. The special rules of the Chaos Arena allowed rings of floating viewing platforms to form around each independent arena. At this moment, in the viewing area belonging to Lin Yuan's arena, many projections of prodigies had already descended, attracted by previous battles or already keeping an eye on Lin Yuan.

"It's Slayer of a Thousand Hells! That madman has the Souls of at least ten thousand Peak of the Feather Transformation Realm prodigies on his hands!" A Saint with silver-white wings on his back changed expression slightly.

"The Great Dao of Blood Slaughter, proving the Dao through killing... Although Lin Yuan is strong, being entangled by such a desperate man will likely cost him some effort," someone analyzed solemnly.

"Hmph, Slayer of a Thousand Hells' 'Blood Sea Soul Burial Blade' specifically breaks through Divine Soul defenses, perfectly countering Lin Yuan's Soul methods!" A clearly hostile voice rang out, originating from a Prodigy in the Cangqiong Imperial Dynasty camp.

Facing this sky-high killing intent that was enough to freeze the Divine Soul of an ordinary Myriad Dao Realm expert, Lin Yuan didn't even lift an eyelid. He stood quietly in place, as if what was rushing toward him was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but a wisp of breeze brushing his face.

Just as Slayer of a Thousand Hells' killing intent shockwave touched the ground about a zhang in front of Lin Yuan—

Buzz!

Deep within Lin Yuan's eyes, that point of eternal, indestructible glazed Chaos Heart Light suddenly lit up!

There was no earth-shattering explosion of energy, no dazzling Spell light. A gaze, pure and intangible, highly condensed from the will of the Chaos Fearless Dao Heart, shot out instantly like the first ray of light at the dawn of creation!

"Argh—!"

The cruel smile on Slayer of a Thousand Hells' face suddenly froze, turning into extreme pain and horror! He felt his proud Blood Slaughter killing intent, soaked in the resentment of countless Souls, being crushed to pieces as if it had hit the Origin of the beginning of Chaos! That gaze ignored all defenses and pierced directly into the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness, ruthlessly branding itself upon his crumbling Dao Heart, which was built upon endless slaughter!

Thud!

The invincible Blood Slaughter Leader's knees hit the hard Chaos crystal arena heavily, as if struck by an invisible primordial divine mountain! The collision of his knees and the crystal made a tooth-aching sound of bone cracking! The giant serrated blade in his hand fell with a "clang," and his massive body trembled violently like chaff. Thick black blood actually seeped from his seven orifices! Those blood-red eyes now held only boundless fear and confusion, as if he saw his own tiny, dust-like self crawling and trembling at the feet of a giant god of Chaos!

A single look!

The Leader of the Blood Slaughter Profound Realm, kneels!

The entire viewing area fell into a dead silence. The prodigies who were just discussing in whispers were now as if they had been strangled by the neck, their faces frozen in horror. The Prodigy from the Cangqiong Imperial Dynasty turned pale and subconsciously took a step back.

"Ants making a racket," Lin Yuan's indifferent voice broke the silence, as if stating a simple fact. He didn't even look at Slayer of a Thousand Hells again, who was kneeling on the ground like a pile of mud. His gaze was already cast outside the arena, as if looking for the next target worth him lifting his eyes for.

The rules of the Chaos Arena were cold and efficient. Slayer of a Thousand Hells' defeat was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating only a negligible ripple before being swallowed by a larger wave. The arena space beneath Lin Yuan's feet rippled and reorganized like water, instantly teleporting him to the next battlefield.

His opponent was the Leader of the Wanmu Profound Realm, Green Vine.

She wore a set of Emerald Vine Armor, surrounded by billions of points of green light dust, as if the vitality of a primeval forest was concentrated in her body. Her face was beautiful, but her eyes were as calm and deep as an ancient tree of ten thousand years. In her hand, she held a fist-sized Emerald Seed that pulsed constantly and emitted a thick aura of the Origin of life.

"Daoist Friend Lin, please advise me." Green Vine's voice was ethereal, carrying the natural rhythm of plants and trees. Knowing Lin Yuan's terror, she held nothing back from the start. Her hands formed Seals, and the seed of life instantly erupted with ten thousand zhang of emerald light!

"Vast Forest Phenomenon: Ten Thousand Trees Acknowledge the Ancestor!"

Boom—!

The entire arena space seemed to be dragged into a Wild Forest Sea! Countless phantoms of ancient divine trees with diameters exceeding a hundred zhang rose from the ground, their branches gnarled like dragons and leaves blotting out the sky. The life essence, so thick it had turned liquid, formed a green ocean, emitting the deafening sound of life tides! Each phantom of the divine tree contained the majestic power of the Wood Law. They were not illusions but Law projections summoned by Green Vine's Origin life seed, capable of absorbing the opponent's vitality and imprisoning all paths!

The green ocean of life instantly swallowed Lin Yuan's figure! Billions of incredibly tough Law vines, like living giant pythons, coiled around him, attempting to lock his limbs and extract the life Origin within his body! Each vine flickered with mysterious Seal runes.

"Good! Saintess Green Vine's 'Ten Thousand Trees Acknowledge the Ancestor' has already attained the essence of the Great Dao of Life—endless growth, imprisoning all things!" A Prodigy close to the Dao of Nature couldn't help but cheer.

"Lin Yuan is submerged in the sea of life, like falling into a mire. Even with heaven-reaching power, it's hard to use. This is a superior way of wearing down and trapping an enemy!" someone analyzed with a nod.

However, just when everyone thought Lin Yuan would be temporarily trapped by this boundless forest sea—

"Chiii... chichichi..."

A faint but clear sound, like boiling oil poured on snow, suddenly came from the core of that green ocean.

Then, in Green Vine's suddenly contracting pupils, the Wild Forest Sea constructed from her Origin Law, which was enough to trap a Peak Myriad Dao Realm expert, actually began to... wither and fade at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It wasn't destroyed by violence, but rather the life Origin was being forcibly reversed and stripped away by some higher-tier power!

"The end of life is deathly silence," Lin Yuan's indifferent voice rang out clearly through the layers of withering divine tree phantoms.

He still stood in place, without having moved even an inch. Deep within his right eye, that grey, deathly silent light representing the Eternal Cold Abyss spread out silently like a plague! Wherever the light reached, the sky-blotting emerald divine trees lost their luster at a terrifying speed. The thick branches were covered with decaying cracks, and the green leaves instantly turned yellow, shattered, and became fly ash! The liquid ocean of life essence, as if thrown into the black hole of the Return to Ruin, dried up and disappeared crazily!

The left eye was as vast as a forest sea with life, while the right eye was as withered as the Underworld with deathly silence! Life and death rotating, the Great Dao manifesting!
