190: Final Battle

Subsequently, Li Xiangyun accepted challenges from several more individuals, including Loose Cultivators and people from other Star Domains.

This even included Luo Yun from the Tiangang Star Region.

Among them, with the exception of Luo Yun, everyone else was basically crushed.

Even Luo Yun only managed to last a dozen more moves than the others.

This gave everyone a completely new understanding of Li Xiangyun's strength.

Therefore, when Li Xiangyun spoke that sentence again, everyone chose to remain silent.

"Next!"

Li Xiangyun stood upon the ice lotus, his profound black robe stirred by the lingering cold Qi, his sleeves fluttering without a single wrinkle.

At this moment, he was peerlessly elegant, with an unmatched appearance, standing alone from the world, looking down upon the many Geniuses.

And everyone's initial mockery had now turned into admiration.

"Indeed, only strength can earn respect."

Li Xiangyun stood high in the sky, observing all of this, a hint of emotion in his voice.

"Next!"

Li Xiangyun repeated, his tone calm, yet carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.

Everyone stirred, but no one stepped forward.

Because the previous Luo Tian was already quite strong, surpassing the vast majority of them.

Yet, even he was easily defeated by Li Xiangyun; for them to go up would only be to invite humiliation.

"How about it, Brother Lin, still hesitating?" Amidst the crowd, Jiang Kongyu leaned close to Lin Ye, whispering.

"Why doesn't Brother Jiang go?"

With Lin Ye's strength, he could naturally tell that Jiang Kongyu was not weak, at least stronger than Luo Yun, and had a certain chance of defeating Li Xiangyun.

But Jiang Kongyu showed no Battle Intent, which made him a bit puzzled.

Jiang Kongyu smiled and said, "I am different from you all; I am not determined to obtain this Netherworld Darkfire."

"Compared to this spiritual fire, I'd rather make friends with people like Brother Lin and Li Xiangyun."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye was speechless.

He guessed that Jiang Kongyu probably felt that even if he went up, his chances of winning were not great, and thus he bothered not to contend. He really did speak better than he sang.

However, he felt the biggest reason was still the seemingly ordinary yet extremely mysterious old man high in the sky—Cang Lanzi.

Although Cang Lanzi spoke nicely, if he went back on his word afterward, what could they do?

And this was also the reason Lin Ye had been hesitating until now.

If the other party reneged, not only would he gain nothing, but his previous friendship with Li Xiangyun would also be over, which would be a great loss.

However, after a moment of hesitation, Lin Ye still made his decision, because he had his reasons for having to act.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Cang Lanzi's voice rang out from high in the sky, "Is there anyone else going up? If not, you may all leave."

Lin Ye took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and verified with Cang Lanzi again, "Senior, are your words truly binding?"

Cang Lanzi raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Ye with a smile, "Naturally!"

In fact, among them, not many people caught Cang Lanzi's eye; Lin Ye was one, and Jiang Kongyu was half.

Besides them, there were two others.

But this was not important, because the strongest among them was Lin Ye.

Now that Lin Ye was making his move, his goal was mostly accomplished.

This made Cang Lanzi's lips curl into a look of anticipation, "Yin-Yang against Space; interesting!"

"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Ye bowed respectfully to Cang Lanzi again, then looked up at Li Xiangyun high in the sky, his eyes surging with Battle Intent.

And Li Xiangyun also noticed this.

Before they even fought, their gazes had already collided, seemingly emitting intense sparks, and even the Void Realm rippled.

Li Xiangyun sensed Lin Ye's Battle Intent.

But he was fearless; if possible, he also wanted to see whose Yin-Yang Dao Intent and Space Dao Intent were stronger!

At this moment, Lin Ye's figure drew everyone's gaze.

No one saw when he moved.

They only heard the faint sound of space tearing beneath his feet.

With each step, silver starlight ripples bloomed where he stood, and the next second he had already appeared dozens of feet high in the sky.

This was not flying through the air, but rather each step landed on condensed spatial nodes, which, like transparent stairs, transformed into flowing stardust as he stepped on them, trailing a galaxy-like light trail behind him.

"Dong."

When his second foot stepped out, space emitted a dull echo.

Seven silver lines shot out from the jade pendant at his waist, interweaving into a translucent star map beside him. The stars in the map rotated according to some ancient trajectory, twisting the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into spiraling star mist.

Some Cultivators tried to discern his movements, but found that their gaze would inexplicably shift when it landed on him, as if his figure was enveloped by countless overlapping spaces, seemingly close yet as far as the horizon.

"Space Dao Intent!?" Everyone looked at this scene in shock, utterly astonished, clearly understanding the meaning behind Space Dao Intent.

No wonder this Lin Ye dared to act even now.

This made a hint of excitement flash in their eyes; no matter what, this battle was destined to be incredibly spectacular.

And Jiang Kongyu revealed a knowing smile, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Tang Fu, do you think Boss can win?" In the crowd, Deng Qi looked at the scene, asking Tang Fu with worry.

"Of course, don't forget Boss also has Yin-Yang Dao Intent." Compared to Deng Qi's worry, Tang Fu was much more confident.

However, he was quite pleased with Deng Qi's change in address.

"Dong."

On the other side, when his third step landed a hundred zhang high in the sky, Lin Ye finally reached the same level as Li Xiangyun on the ice lotus.

His profound green Dao robe was lifted by the high-altitude winds, revealing the inner garment embroidered with dark golden star trails, and a crescent-shaped space stone at his collar subtly exhaled imperceptible ripples.

He raised his hand and pressed it to his brow; a silver mark extended from his forehead to the bridge of his nose. This was the Dao mark left by his years of Cultivating dual Dao Intents, and it now flickered with the movement of spiritual power, like stardust embedded in his flesh.

Their gazes collided high in the sky.

Lin Ye's pupils were a deep indigo blue, with fine silver specks floating within them, as if the entire starry sky had been crushed and stuffed inside.

The moment their eyes met, the star trails in his pupils suddenly accelerated their rotation, and the surrounding space began to tremble slightly, even causing the cold Qi condensed on Li Xiangyun's ice lotus to momentarily distort.

That was Space Dao Intent's silent challenge to absolute ice seal up.

And Li Xiangyun's eyes remained like an unmelting cold pool, only when Lin Ye stepped into the high sky, a black and white light flashed across the bottom of the pool.

At this moment, his profound black robe moved without wind, and the ice-crack patterns embroidered on the fabric now lit up, distantly opposing Lin Ye's star-trail Dao mark.

"Brother Li, you and I are enemies after all," Lin Ye said, his voice wrapped in spatial resonance, exploding in layers of echoes high in the sky.
