Chapter 520: Chapter 0515: “Taiyan Extreme Yang Technique

Yun Yingwu and the short, plump man activated their Bloodline Power simultaneously and fought again.

From the very beginning of the clash, Yun Yingwu fell into a disadvantage, slightly suppressed by the short, plump man.

“You are too crude in your use of Bloodline Power,” said the short, plump man.

In the Holy Land, everyone’s goal was to enhance their strength, to attain higher positions and better cultivation conditions.

Thus, people in the Holy Land were always finding ways to increase their power, to tap into their potential, and to optimize all aspects of themselves.

The cultivation level of the short, plump man was similar to Yun Yingwu’s, but his True Yuan quality was higher, his combat skills more powerful, and his use of Bloodline Power more adept.

Such accumulation of advantages allowed the short, plump man to suppress Yun Yingwu in direct combat.

“How can this be…” Yun Yingwu internally panicked.

The man in front of him was too strong, giving him a premonition of defeat.

People from the other Two Kingdoms didn’t recognize Yun Yingwu, but the geniuses of Yun Zhao Country knew well Yun Yingwu’s prowess.

“Golden Dragon Strangulation!”

Yun Yingwu’s aura intensified; his entire being resembled a flaming golden sun as he released Fierce Sun True Fire, merging it into his Spiritual Artifact, causing the golden flames on the twin swords to surge, the brilliance blinding.

Roar!

A golden-red flame dragon shadow roared, spiraling out and carrying a massive fiery vortex, targeting the short, plump man.

“Rage of the Bi Hai.”

Seeing Yun Yingwu’s lethal move, the short, plump man got serious, swung his arms, unleashed vast True Yuan mingled with Bloodline Power, and produced a massive azure wave.

Boom!

The water surged higher and higher, reaching several dozen feet, like a tidal wall continuously rolling forward.

Bang!

The flame dragon shadow charged ahead and collided with the monstrous waves, water and fire raging wildly, creating a shockwave that dispersed in all directions.

Boom bang bang!

In the midst of the storm of fire and water, the two clashed again, several loud booming sounds echoing.

At some point, Yun Yingwu’s figure was sent flying backward, a trace of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.

“You’ve lost,” the short, plump man said with a smile.

However, he was also deeply surprised by Yun Yingwu’s strength.

The short, plump man had been in the Holy Land for twenty years; Yun Yingwu had just entered this victorious place and already possessed the combat power of a Copper Badge Holy Guard, fighting him to a standstill.

It wouldn’t be long before Yun Yingwu surpassed him.

Therefore, the short, plump man, having won, did not boast or mock.

“Even Yun Yingwu has lost,” Jiang Chen sighed softly.

Yun Yingwu’s strength was definitely among the top in Yun Zhao Country among so many geniuses.

Yun Yingwu, swallowing his humiliation, left the place.

He had lost again, there was nothing to say, only to devote himself to cultivation, to win next time, or else he would have no face to see anyone.

Following that, several more cave dwelling challenges occurred.

The geniuses of the Three Kingdoms each tried to challenge some of the top-ranked cave dwellers.

“I wonder what the strength of the person occupying the eleventh cave dwelling is like?”

Ye Chengfeng eyed a man with red hair and red eyes.

Having ranked lower in the trials of the Holy Land, he was now choosing a challenge target, his interest piqued by the red-haired man.

The geniuses from Manrong Country and Yun Zhao Country were unfamiliar with this red-haired man, but knowing that he had taken first place in this trial, he was certainly not to be underestimated; thus, no one had yet tried to probe him.

Seeming to sense Ye Chengfeng’s gaze, the red-haired man snorted coldly and walked upward.

This scene caught the attention of many.

Above the eleventh cave dwelling were the elders who had entered the Holy Land earlier.

Just now, Yun Yingwu had failed in his challenge of the eighth cave dwelling.

“What is Li Xiaoyun going to do? Could it be that he’s challenging the people in the top ten cave dwellings?”

“However, the ninth and tenth cave dwellings are in seclusion, and that short, plump man in the eighth dwelling is very strong; the tall man in the seventh dwelling might be even stronger.”

The geniuses of Chi Xiao Kingdom discussed.

The red-haired man “Li Xiaoyun” arrived in front of the tenth cave dwelling and casually launched a burst of fire, hitting the surface of the cave dwelling.

After a while with no response, he walked to the ninth cave dwelling and sent out another fireburst.

Soon, a calm voice came out, “Who disturbs me?” Immediately, a square-faced man emerged.

“I wasn’t aware that you were cultivating, my apologies,” said the red-haired man with an apologetic smile.

“So many people?”

The square-faced man was slightly surprised as he saw the crowd outside.

Then, he looked at Li Xiaoyun, “You all are the newest reserve members of the Holy Land, right? Even someone a rank higher in seclusion shouldn’t be disturbed. Considering you are new, I won’t pursue this matter, but don’t make foolish decisions in the future.”

The square-faced man spoke in a senior’s tone, instructing Li Xiaoyun.

“Thank you for your understanding, I have one more thing,” Li Xiaoyun continued.

“What is it?”

“I would like to have a spar with you.”

Li Xiaoyun’s smile suddenly turned somewhat fierce.

The square-faced man’s expression changed dramatically, glaring angrily, realizing he had been tricked.

Li Xiaoyun’s earlier friendly demeanor was all a pretense, intended to make the square-faced man avoid pursuing his disruption of someone else’s seclusion.

“Hahaha, this youngster is clever, he managed to fool Yan Sanshan,” said the short, plump man nearby, bursting into laughter.

“Yan Sanshan, don’t be rash–this person is very powerful among this batch of reserve members.”

Another tall figure used the Sound Path.

But the square-faced man was furious at the moment and didn’t listen to his words at all.

“Let me see what you’re made of!”

Being toyed with by a newcomer in the Holy Land, he couldn’t swallow his pride.

He was still a reserve member, but after all, he had been in the Holy Land for twenty years and had the strength of a Copper Badge Holy Guard, and he was preparing to break out and challenge the Tongyun Tower.

Boom!

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyun launched an attack, his hand slamming down fiercely, a giant hand of flames reaching for the square-faced man.

The square-faced man pulled out a long spear and swept it forcefully, a fierce blue spear glow stabbing out.

“Your strength is nothing special!”

Li Xiaoyun smiled faintly, somewhat arrogantly.

Immediately, he slapped again with a palm, its power completely different from before.

In that instant, the palm ignited a golden light, and the surrounding temperature seemed to be drawn away, cooling down.

Boom!

The two clashed again, this time the power of the square-faced man’s spear seemed to be weakened by that palm, appearing somewhat inferior.

The square-faced man was surprised and launched another attack.

After several exchanges, the square-faced man’s expression grew more serious, “You’re cultivating the ‘Taiyan Extreme Yang Technique’.”

“Is this one of the ten great Ancient Cultivation Techniques he is practicing?”

From not far away, Fu Sanguang murmured.

If the Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record was among the top ten techniques for its strongest defense, then the Taiyan Extreme Yang Technique was the one with the most destructive power.

“You do have some insight.”

Li Xiaoyun smiled.

The next moment, his body emitted golden light, flames rose up, and his entire form seemed like a burning man of fire, continuously drawing in the surrounding heat.

“A quick battle must be made.”

The square-faced man’s eyes narrowed, waving his long spear even faster, as tens of heavy spear shadows spanned the heavens and the earth.

“Flame Destruction Palm!”

Li Xiaoyun shouted loudly, swinging a solid, golden-hued flaming giant palm.

The power of that giant palm was tremendous; as the spear glow arrived, it seemed to have melted some of its force due to the high temperature.

Subsequently, the giant palm thrust forward, shattering all the spear glows.

“Yang Burst Fist.”

Li Xiaoyun moved closer to the square-faced man, unleashing another powerful combat technique.

The fist radiance he unleashed was like a burning sun, rapidly colliding forward.

The square-faced man, looking panicked, frantically mobilized his True Yuan to resist this strike.

Boom!

The sun-like fist radiance exploded, a wave of scorching heat spreading and making the heavens and earth hotter.

The square-faced man staggered back more than twenty steps, clutching his teeth, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his clothes partially melted.

“You lost, the cave dwelling is mine.”

Li Xiaoyun’s fiery light vanished, he flew down, and walked into the number nine cave dwelling.

“Damn… I was actually defeated by him.”

The square-faced man trembled, plunging into the number eleven cave dwelling.

“This man is formidable!”

Ye Chengfeng briefly commented, his expression somewhat solemn.

From the observation just now, even he wasn’t very confident against Li Xiaoyun.

Several more challenges occurred nearby, and the number of people began to decrease.

The competitive pressure here was too great, spending time watching combat or challenging at every turn was less productive than cultivating a bit longer until one had absolute confidence before challenging.

After the first day, the challenges for the cave dwellings greatly diminished.

Inside the cave dwelling, Chen Yu began to close himself off, cultivating the Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record, constantly refining his True Yuan.

The cultivation environment here was even better than at No Demon Academy, and being surrounded by so many talents also put some pressure on Chen Yu, making him feel closer to the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm.

The Red Flame King had also started what seemed like serious cultivation; perhaps, for him, it was the first time the environment met his standards.

After some time interacting, the talents of the Three Kingdoms roughly understood each other; those truly strong occupied the foremost cave dwellings.

“This kid still isn’t coming out.”

A tall, burly man stomped his foot outside Chen Yu’s cave dwelling, then left.

The talents of the Three Kingdoms already knew each other somewhat, in the eyes of the talents from Manrong Country, only Chen Yu seemed to not merit his reputation among those ahead; he was seen as a target, followed by Situ Lin Yu.

The tall man lived in the twenty-first cave dwelling and had been eying Chen Yu’s dwelling for a while, coming to check every two days.

Of course, there were others who wanted to conquer Chen Yu’s cave dwelling, just occasionally taking a look.

“I wonder how things are now.”

After three months of cultivation, Chen Yu came out.

His first visit was to his senior, Yuan Chen’s cave dwelling, who resided in cave dwelling number twenty-six.

From Yuan Chen, Chen Yu received some news, such as Ye Chengfeng winning a challenge for the fifteenth cave dwelling, but being defeated by the opponent a month later, and other changes in positions and news about other talents, quite a lot.

And most notably, individuals like Li Xiaoyun and Fu Sanguang passed Tongyun Tower’s first test and became Copper Badge Holy Guards.

“Junior brother, why don’t you try Tongyun Tower?”

Yuan Chen asked.

In his opinion, Chen Yu should have the capability to become a Copper Badge Holy Guard.

“Let’s wait a little longer.”

Chen Yu had his plans; he decided to wait until he broke through to the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm before challenging the tower.

After some small talk, Chen Yu left, planning to purchase some materials for cultivation.

“Kid, so you were hiding in someone else’s cave dwelling.”

A loud shout suddenly came from above.

Chen Yu looked up to see a tall, robust man yelling in front of his cave dwelling.
