Yue Mengli could not help being speechless and had a clearer understanding regarding this Soul Suppressing Pearl's magicalness.
She knew that Ye Yuan's means were immensely formidable. In terms of attainments in the field of divine soul, he was the Divine Realm's top person. Even he could not do anything as well, showing that this Soul Suppressing Pearl's origin was definitely extraordinary.
Crack! Crack!
Inside the dark space, all of a sudden, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Bolts of lightning pervaded within the entire area of space and actually formed an ocean of lightning.
Seeing this scene, Yue Mengli's expression became incomparably ugly.
"What powerful lightning force!" Yue Mengli said solemnly.
Ye Yuan said, "If my conjectures are correct, if we can withstand these bolts of lightning baptism, we should be able to get out."
Yue Mengli froze and said in astonishment, "These bolts of lightning are much more powerful compared to even heavenly tribulation. Going inside, our souls will disintegrate."
Ye Yuan smiled. His figure moved, and he directly entered the lightning ocean!
"Ugh …"
The moment he entered the lightning ocean, Ye Yuan's entire body was immediately enveloped by over a dozen bolts of lightning, putting his whole body in a paralyzed state, and he could not resist exhaling in pain.
Ye Yuan did not dodge nor avoid. He just allowed those bolts of lightning to encircle him.
When Yue Mengli saw this scene, she involuntarily shuddered. However, she took a deep breath and also plunged into the lightning ocean.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Lightning instantly enveloped Yue Mengli, making her had a feeling as if her soul was about to dissipate.
But seeing Ye Yuan grit his teeth and persevere, Yue Mengli's stubborn temper flared up too, and actually gritted her teeth and endured it without making a sound.
No idea how long had passed either, Yue Mengli felt like her divine soul was already feeble to the extreme, really on the verge of dissipating.
But right at this moment, she suddenly felt those lightning force directly enter inside her body, and actually started nourishing her divine soul.
Very soon, Yue Mengli sensed that her divine soul was rapidly recovering!
She suddenly snapped open both eyes, only to see Ye Yuan currently a little way off, looking at her with a wide grin.
"How is it? Do you feel that your state is unexpectedly good?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Yue Mengli was startled and could not help examining her divine soul, discovering to her amazement that her divine soul was much stronger compared to before.
"This … What's going on here?" Yue Mengli said in shock.
"This seems to be a kind of tempering. As long as we pass the test, there will be unexpected harvests!" Ye Yuan said.
Unconvinced, Yue Mengli said, "If we're unable to pass the test? Would our souls really dissipate?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Seems like it won't. But as long as we don't pass the test for a day, we'll always be trapped here."
Ye Yuan had the experience of being baptized by will suppression before. Combining with the lightning ocean this time, he summed up some rules of the dark space.
Ye Yuan reached his hand out and said with a smile, "This lightning ocean, the deeper in we go, the greater the impact on the divine soul. As long as we work together with one heart, what would it even matter?"
Yue Mengli's face reddened slightly. Nodding her head, she reached out her hand and held onto Ye Yuan. The two people headed towards the depths of the lightning ocean side by side.
...
The Bright Moon Competition top 16's battles, drew countless people's attention.
Zhuo Bufan left people far behind in the dust, overcoming all difficulties along the way, and already took the lead to obtain the finals' spot.
And the other spot was emerging between Lin Chao and Zhou Yan!
One could say that Zhou Yan and Lin Chao, these two people, were both dark horses of the Bright Moon Competition this time!
Before this, Zhou Yan had only just broken through to Dao Profound Realm. Among these genius martial artists, he could be said to be at the bottom of the barrel.
But he relied on the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, took Bai Han down, and obtained the semi-finals' qualifications.
As for Lin Chao, he was even more a dark horse among dark horses.
Everyone all thought that he was lucky, and that was how he could enter the top 16. No one expected that his strength was actually unexpectedly daunting!
Facing Tang Yu in the first round, Lin Chao actually only used ten moves to defeat the opponent and entered the top eight.
Against Jiang Yancai in the second round, Lin Chao similarly only used ten moves.
Two rounds, both used ten moves, defeating two First Level Dao Profound genius martial artists neat and tidily.
With this, it astounded everyone!
Everybody all realized that this unknown young man did not seem to be so simple!
One had to know that Tang Yu and Jiang Yancai were both young talents whose fame spread far and wide in the Divine Realm. Their strengths were incomparably fearsome.
But Lin Chao, with only peak Ninth Level Phaseless cultivation, defeated them in succession. The might of his strength was clear at a glance.
The disparity between Dao Profound Realm and Phaseless Realm was not just a tiny bit.
Dao Profound Realm was the peak boundary of the Divine Realm's martial artists! Many peerlessly talented genius martial artists were unable to leap over Phaseless Realm, and step into Dao Profound Realm.
This step was extremely hard to cross.
Those able to take this step were all geniuses among geniuses.
Tang Yu these people, although their age were all very young, they were able to take this step. This, by itself, ill.u.s.trated many problems.
But they were still defeated at Lin Chao's hands.
Furthermore, Lin Chao only used ten moves for two battles!
At this time, Zhou Yan also did not dare to be the least bit careless when facing Lin Chao.
Lin Chao looked at Zhou Yan contemptuously and said coolly, "Zhou Family's young master, I know that you like Yue Mengli. But I advise that you give up. Yue Mengli is mine, Lin Chao's!"
Zhou Yan's face fell, and he said in a great rage, "Courting death!"
Flame flashed in the pupils of Zhou Yan's eyes. The Vastsun Flameheart Pupil suddenly erupted!
After breaking through to Dao Profound, Zhou Yan's Vastsun Flameheart Pupil underwent a qualitative change. The power of his ocular arts was goodness knows how many times stronger compared to before.
Being provoked by Lin Chao, the current Zhou Yan was incomparably furious. Unleashing a move, it was actually going to put Lin Chao to death.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The place Lin Chao was standing emitted a series of intense exploding sounds. Under the impact of the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, the grand array trembled.
Zhou Yan saw that Lin Chao actually did avoid in the slightest bit, and could not help saying with a cold sneer, "Fool! To dare forcefully receive the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil head-on, simply courting death! But to dare make impertinent remarks about Li-er, death isn't enough!"
The smoke formed from the explosion gradually dispersed, revealing Lin Chao's figure.
It was only to see him lightly pat the dust on his body, saying calmly, "Everyone says that Vastsun, Bright Moon, these two cities' ocular arts are unparalleled. Looking at it today, seems like it's also nothing more than this. Making impertinent remarks? How I talk to my woman, that's my business. Don't you worry, I'll dote on Miss Li-er lovingly."
Lin Chao dismissed it casually as if Yue Mengli was already officially decided for him.
Zhou Yan's pupils constricted. There was actually not a hint of injury on Lin Chao's body!
His Vastsun Flameheart Pupil actually could not even harm Lin
Chao?
"Don't be insolent! Li-er is mine, nobody can snatch her away! Ye Yuan can't, you can't either!"
Zhou Yan roared, both eyes suddenly turning blood red in color. All of a sudden, violent flames formed a cage, covering Lin Chao completely inside.
Rumble!
Zhou Yan had yet to have time to be happy when a loud noise transmitted over. His flame cage actually had a large hole blasted out by Lin Chao!
Furthermore, the remnant power of the might of one punch did not diminish, flying straight for Zhou Yan.
Chapter 945 - Divine Dao Martial Technique Showdown
Bang!
Zhou Yan was caught off guard and directly sent flying off the arena by this single punch.
Everyone looked at this scene with endless shock.
Just where did this Lin Chao come from? He was too powerful!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Zhou Yan was filled with endless regret and anger. With this defeat, he lost the chance to vie for Yue Mengli.
He was originally thinking of utterly wrecking Ye Yuan, then marrying Yue Mengli back home. He did not think that he actually did not even enter the finals.
"Heh, I was thinking how powerful the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil was originally, didn't expect that Young Master Zhou would be too weak to take a single blow. Looks like the greatest p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e this trip will be marrying Beauty Yue home," Lin Chao said very arrogantly.
Regarding such an arrogant Lin Chao, many people all could not endure the sight of it. But his strength was placed here, there were really not many capable of beating him!
In comparison to the others, Lin Chao's origin was too mysterious. That whatever Divine Martial Hall was simply unheard of.
If Yue Mengli married such a person, they were clearly all unwilling.
The second day, the day of the finals!
The champion would contend with Ye Yuan for the final ownership.
Zhuo Bufan stood on the arena, steady and composed, with quite the demeanor of an expert of a generation.
Skypool Celestial Empire was a super holy land with extremely deep foundations. Their ancestors had once produced many Deity Realm powerhouses before. Zhuo Bufan as the successor, how formidable his strength was naturally went without saying.
In contrast, Lin Chao appeared stubborn and unruly, even having that hint of sinister and ruthlessness, making people quite averse.
Although everyone could not obtain Yue Mengli, they all hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Yue Mengli would not marry someone like this.
For some time, the cheering and rooting voices were all for Zhuo Bufan.
"Hehe, this bunch of fools, do they think that by cheering for that Zhuo Bufan, he won't lose? Lin Chao hasn't even brought out one-tenth of his strength up till now. No matter how strong that Zhuo Bufan is, he can only lick his shoes for him," among the crowd, in an inconspicuous corner, a middle-aged man in a strange attire said.
"Zhuo Bufan is totally not Lin Chao's target. That Ye Yuan who comes out the last is his biggest objective this time," another person said.
"Speaking of which, really underestimated Ye Yuan this punk at that time. I didn't expect that he grew so quickly. In this less than ten year's time, he actually already broke through to Phaseless Realm. But this time, Lin Chao shouldn't drop the ball, right?" replied a middle-aged man dressed in black clothing.
This black-clothed man was precisely the person who was manipulating the Fierce Gale World's Zhao Tianyin father and son! Of course, even if Ye Yuan was here, he would not recognize him either.
These few people were clearly together, all originating from that place called Divine Martial Hall.
Among these few people, there was a middle-aged man whose age was slightly older, looking rather level-headed.
"This trip, our objective is the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. That brat called Ye Yuan is merely a minor character of little importance. Later, have a word with Lin Chao, tell him not to cause complications!" the middle-aged man said solemnly.
The expressions of the few people at the back turned fearful as they acknowledged, "Yes, Holy General Han Tong!"
This man called Han Tong was actually that mysterious force's holy general!
The strength of a holy general was a huge margin stronger than holy followers!
While they were talking, Zhuo Bufan and Lin Chao who were in the ring were already locked in battle.
Zhuo Bufan's strength was indeed not what Zhou Yan and the rest could compare to. Similarly First Level Dao Profound, Zhuo Bufan's every move and stance was watertight.
Even if Lin Chao was matchlessly powerful, he could not gain the least bit of advantage either. Both parties actually fought until neither could gain the upper-hand!
"Luofu Divine Spear!"
The two people were in the midst of fierce fighting when the Zhuo Bufan who was empty-handed all along suddenly took out a long spear.
Rumble!
Lin Chao could not avoid in time and was directly nailed onto the arena by the power of this spear.
"It's the Luofu Divine Spear! Skypool Celestial Empire's Divine Dao martial technique!"
"Zhuo Bufan indeed concealed his strength too deeply! It is said that Luofu Divine Spear can only be started cultivating at the Dao Profound Realm. Furthermore, the difficulty of cultivating it is extremely high. I didn't think that Zhuo Bufan actually already learned it!"
"In his hands is the transcendent-grade holy artifact, Heavenly Origin Howling Cloud Spear, right? This martial technique coupled with a transcendent-grade holy artifact, the power is unequaled! With this, Lin Chao is destined for defeat!"
Although there were already no more Deity Realm powerhouses in this world, there were still some deity realm legacies.
Like the Skypool Celestial Empire, this sort of super holy land with deep foundations, Divine Arts, Divine Dao martial techniques, they all had legacies.
Once it was unleashed, the power was even stronger compared to Tier 9 martial techniques.
Except, the true might of Divine Dao martial techniques, only Deity Realm powerhouses could unleash them. Even if Dao Profound Realm martial artists cultivated them, they could only unleash some scraps.
The people below the stage were all incredibly excited when they saw Zhuo Bufan's spear succeed.
However, Zhuo Bufan himself, his face was covered in a layer of frost.
He already acc.u.mulated the power of this attack for a long time just now, but Lin Chao still neutralized a large part of the force, avoiding his vital parts.
His trump card was already exposed, while Lin Chao's trump card was still not exposed.
Indeed, Lin Chao slowly crawled to his feet. Although somewhat ragged, there weren't injuries that were too severe.
"Indeed well-deserving of being a super holy land's disciple, to actually be able to injure me! But it's only this and nothing more!" Lin Chao said it very scornfully.
A curved blade appeared in Lin Chao's hands. The moment the curved blade appeared, a wave of sanguinary qi rapidly spread out, shocking people to the core.
"Transcendent-grade holy artifact! Just what faction is this Divine Martial Hall, to actually have such a powerful transcendent-grade holy artifact!" Someone exclaimed in shock.
Lin Chao looked at Zhuo Bufan and said with a light smile, "Since you used a Divine Dao martial technique, then I'll use a Divine Dao martial technique too. Let's have a showdown and see whose Divine Dao martial technique is more impressive."
Lin Chao said it casually, but there was a wave of shock when it fell into other people's ears.
"What? Lin Chao knows a Divine Dao martial technique too! How is this possible?"
"Forces that have Divine Dao martial techniques are only that few. Apart from the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, it can be counted with one hand! Just what kind of background is this Divine Martial Hall?"
"Transcendent-grade holy artifact, Divine Dao martial technique, this Lin Chao is too mysterious! If he beat
s Zhuo Bufan …"
How the result would be, everyone already did not dare to think.
Just the sanguinary qi on that curved blade made everyone feel uncomfortable.
If Yue Mengli married someone like this, then the Yue Family would have really blundered.
Zhuo Bufan's expression was very grim, and he already secretly mustered up essence energy.
But his opponent, Lin Chao, appeared to be able to easily resolve any problems. The moment the blade momentum rose, his entire person turned into a cloud of green smoke, going for Zhuo Bufan.
At the same time, Zhuo Bufan also acc.u.mulated strength for an attack. Luofu Divine Spear was displayed once more!
Rumble!
Two figures collided together fiercely. The blood-red blade light actually overpowered the Luofu Divine Spear!
The blade momentum was akin to an overwhelming force, carrying indomitable and imposing momentum, and slashed Zhuo Bufan out!
Below the stage was complete silence. A super holy land's successor was actually defeated, lost to a young man who was not a well-known figure.
This young man who originated from the Divine Martial Hall, not only was he holding a transcendent-grade holy artifact in his hand, he even possessed a Divine Dao martial technique.
Could it be that this Divine Martial Hall was a reclusive super holy land?
Chapter 946 - Divine Soul Resonance
At Yue Family Inner Hall, two middle-aged men sat opposite each other.
Yue Jianqiu's expression was rather ugly, with a frown that never left his face.
"Brother Zhou, this Divine Martial Hall, what do you think?" Yue Jianqiu said.
"Hard to tell! Looking at it right now, this Divine Martial Hall's strength doesn't seem to be weak! Perhaps, it's not what you and I can afford to provoke. Heh, if Younger Brother Yue had long known about this day, why act that way at that time? If you married Li-er to Yan-er long ago, where would there be so many problems?"
The one talking was precisely Vastsun City's city lord, Zhou Jia!
Hearing Yue Jianqiu inquired about the Divine Martial Hall's matters, Zhou Jia could not resist rebuking the other party.
