266: Sweep it all!

Ye Shaoyang glanced at the sky, exchanging a look with the red-haired youth.

Then, he looked at the young man holding the long blade.

His eyes were filled with apprehension.

He hadn't paid attention to the trial-takers in the sky, and before this, he hadn't even taken Lin Chen seriously.

But that one blade strike just now made him realize how terrifying this young man was!

Ye Shaoyang's identity was exactly as Lin Chen had guessed.

His true identity was that of a Great Emperor Realm Expert who had reincarnated and cultivated again!

The last time in the Exchange Land, when he was in seclusion to break through, he had just awakened his past life memories.

It was only by relying on his Great Dao comprehension from his previous life, and the help of the Seed Mark, that he was able to break through to the Nine-Step Emperor Realm in a short time.

And on the foundation of this life, he had created a top-tier Great Dao!

One must know that being able to create a top-tier Great Dao meant a high probability of reaching the Eternal Realm in the future!

The reason he chose to reincarnate and cultivate again was because there was no hope of breaking through to eternity... After creating a top-tier Great Dao, he was once filled with ambition, fantasizing about reaching the peak in the future.

But he never expected to encounter someone even more monstrous than him today.

He even suspected that Lin Chen was also an old monster who had reincarnated and cultivated again... Ye Shaoyang's eyes were incredibly cold.

Lin Chen's appearance had disrupted his plans!

"I must get rid of this kid!"

"It will still take some effort to return to my previous life's cultivation."

"Moreover, it requires a large amount of resources. There must be a powerful Dao Protector behind Wang Feiyu, and he should have an extraordinary treasure on him!"

After understanding this, Ye Shaoyang's lips curved slightly, and he transmitted a message to the red-haired youth.

"Since we're cooperating, show some sincerity. You go first, and I'll look for an opportunity to strike!"

The red-haired youth in the sky was startled upon hearing this, and he gazed deeply at Ye Shaoyang.

He understood that they could no longer simply watch from the sidelines.

Then he roared.

"Everyone, form a formation and let's cut him down together!"

The trial-takers behind him were startled at first, then reacted.

They had known about the information for the third layer of the trial beforehand, so they had practiced a combined attack formation in advance.

Boom—

The aura of over 20 Emperor Realm Experts erupted, quickly forming a combined attack formation. The blue-armored youth nearby understood, quickly drew his long blade, and moved to the center of the formation.

The red-haired youth slowly drew a fiery red long sword.

"Kill!"

Immediately, with the red-haired youth as the leader and the combined attack formation as support, they charged towards Lin Chen with terrifying might.

Only a few breaths had passed from the moment the red-haired youth transmitted his message to Ye Shaoyang until now.

Sensing the oppressive feeling from above, Lin Chen smiled faintly.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way!"

Lin Chen casually twirled his blade, then his aura suddenly condensed, and he unleashed a blade strike towards the void above.

Taiyi Blade Art, Second Layer — Creation and Destruction!

The power of the first nine layers of the Taiyi Blade Art was actually the same; only the last layer, after fusing all nine blade arts, would see a leap in power.

But no matter what, these first nine layers of blade art were at the mid-tier of origin!

Coupled with the amplification of the Ultimate Great Dao that Lin Chen had comprehended to the Half-Step Great Emperor level!

The power of this blade strike was too terrifying!

A white blade light flashed, and the red-haired youth, who was diving down, bore the brunt of it.

He was struck by the blade light, his vitality instantly plummeted to an extreme, and his physical body began to be corroded by death energy.

The red-haired youth's pupils suddenly widened. He cried out in alarm, retreating at extreme speed, stuffing some vitality-restoring pills into his mouth as he did so.

The combined attack of the more than 20 trial-takers was sliced through by the blade light, silently turning into nothingness.

The residual blade light also swept over them.

Immediately, screams echoed in the sky.

They discovered in horror that their physical vitality was rapidly depleting and irreversibly so!

In just a few breaths, among the more than 20 trial-takers, all except the blue-armored youth, who managed to endure, had their life forces dissipate...

The red-haired youth had slowly recovered by now, and he looked at Lin Chen with utter terror.

Their strength and this young man's were completely not on the same level...

"Brother, what should we do? This kid is too terrifying!"

The blue-armored youth came before him, speaking with an unstable aura.

The red-haired youth's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he roared at Ye Shaoyang.

"Attack together, otherwise no one will survive today!"

Ye Shaoyang in the distance had an incredibly grim expression. He slowly nodded, then black energy began to surge from the Gui Markingss all over his body as he charged towards Lin Chen.

Physical Strength amplification?

Lin Chen instantly understood.

Third-tier Gui Markingss were comparable to Imperial Rank Seven Forged Golden Bodies, capable of amplifying Great Dao Combat Skills by 700 times!

In another direction, the red-haired youth and the blue-armored youth also exuded black energy.

Lin Chen shook his head slightly at the sight.

He casually swung two blade strikes in two directions.

He separately unleashed the third and fourth layers of the Taiyi Blade Art.

Extreme Point Return to Void Slash!

Space-Time Reincarnation Slash!

Two blade lights flashed, instantly crossing layers of spatial distance to reach the three of them.

The three immediately changed their expressions drastically, bursting forth with all their might, also unleashing their Battle Skills.

Boom—

Like tearing through rotten wood, the red-haired youth and the blue-armored youth instantly turned into nothingness!

The gap was too vast!

The Great Daos they had created were merely of the superior grade, and their Battle Skills were only at the breakthrough level.

Ye Shaoyang on the other side was also not doing well; this blade strike directly extinguished 50% of his life force!

Lin Chen gave him no chance to react, unleashing another dozen or so blade strikes in quick succession.

Ye Shaoyang's soul nearly fled at the sight. His face contorted with madness, then he roared.

Boom—

His aura suddenly began to surge, reaching the Half-Step Great Emperor level in a short time!

"This life of mine has been ruined by you!"

"You forced me! I want you dead!!"

Ye Shaoyang struck out with a palm, instantly shattering all the blade lights.

Lin Chen's eyes flickered. He guessed that the opponent must have used some forbidden technique.

Generally, using such forbidden techniques comes at a great cost...

Half-Step Great Emperor Realm?

Perfect!

Lin Chen's battle intent was boiling at this moment. He casually flicked his hand, and the long blade plunged into the ground.

Then he pointed his single hand like a blade; he wanted to use Physical Strength to amplify the Taiyi Blade Art!

"Die!"

The fifth layer of the Taiyi Blade Art was unleashed.

Five Elements Tribulation Light Slash!

At least 5000 times amplification!

Boom—

Space shattered layer by layer. This blade strike, carrying an irresistible momentum, instantly collided with Ye Shaoyang's all-out attack!

The terrifying blade strike seemed to silence the entire world. The six trial-takers standing behind Ye Shaoyang were also affected...

After a long time, when everything settled.

Lin Chen stood calmly in place, while Ye Shaoyang's physical body had disappeared, leaving only a wisp of a weak true spirit body floating in mid-air.

His true spirit body looked at Lin Chen, its face severely distorted, filled with endless hatred and unwillingness.

The starting point of his current life was very high. If he had been given time, he might have stepped into the legendary Eternal Realm.

Unfortunately, this world was just like that.

The strong prey on the weak!

To become stronger, one had to constantly kill, fight for resources; everything was full of unknowns...

A moment later, Ye Shaoyang's true spirit body dissipated, leaving behind two glowing crystals.

One was his Emperor Seal, and the other was a Seed Mark.

Lin Chen expressionlessly raised his hand slightly, and the two crystals appeared in his palm.

Looking at the Seed Mark before him, Lin Chen became curious.

"Let's see what effect it has after being devoured by my Seed Mark."

Then, this Seed Mark directly flew into Lin Chen's body.
