Ye Linyuan looked around and saw nine majestic figures approaching.
These nine people are all Yuanying Zhenjun, two of them are Taiyuan Zhenjun and Rentian Zhenjun who have disappeared for many years.
The remaining seven people are the seven True Lords of the Yang family. Among them, there are two overlords in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. They are the patriarch of the Yang family and an old ancestor of the Yang family who is about to die.
"Seven Great Lords."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
The Yang family has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are unfathomable backgrounds hidden in the family, but being able to gather seven Yuanying Zhenjun at one time is already the limit.
Even if there are still living Yuanying Zhenjun, most of them are already at the end of their lives and are in deep sleep, in an extremely weak state. They will most likely not be born until their family is destroyed.
Because this kind of long-standing power is often divided into multiple factions, even if the Yang clan leader is the current clan leader, it is difficult for those older generations whose lifespans are running out to get up and clean up the mess for them.
"It seems that the Yang family has revealed all their trump cards."
"Just in one fell swoop."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and he used all his strength to activate the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag to fly across the sky. Countless water dragons circled and crisscrossed, trying their best to strangle the four true masters of Luoxia Taoist Sect.
He knew very well that as long as he took action to strangle the four great True Lords of the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect, the True Lords of the Yang family would not sit idly by.
As expected, seeing that the four great True Lords of the Golden Lotus lineage were trapped, the nine True Lords had to charge into the formation.
The Yang clan leader attacked Ye Linyuan, and then said with an extremely solemn expression: "Old Demon Red Dragon, do you really want to fight to the death?"
"Brother Yang, you have lived for more than two thousand years, but you still don't understand the outcome of our wait today?"
Ye Linyuan replied with a sneer, and countless water dragons intertwined between his sleeves. He suppressed the three mid-Nascent Soul stage overlords by himself, and did not fall into a disadvantage at all.
At the same time, the twelve True Lords of the Ye family took action, and True Lord Qingxuan also personally assisted, and a fierce battle broke out with the ten True Lords of several major forces.
In this battle, the Nascent Soul True Lords of several major forces had practiced for a longer time, and their cultivation was on average stronger than that of the Ye family.
However, the Ye family had more people, and the combat power of several Heavenly Dao Yuanying and Lihuo Dragon was superior, so they did not fall into a disadvantage in this battle.
Of course, the Yuanying Zhenjun of the two major forces are not weak either, they have basically lived for more than a thousand years, and their foundation accumulated over the years is extraordinary, not to mention that they are fighting with the foundation of the major forces.
For this battle, almost every one of the three True Lords of the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect sacrificed a fake infant puppet, and also contracted several fake infant-level mountain-guarding spirit beasts.
The Yang family has a stronger foundation. The five true masters also sacrificed several fake infant puppets, as well as several pseudo-demon king-level mountain-guarding spirit beasts to fight together.
You know, in the last war, the Yang family had already killed a Yuanying True Lord Sea-Splitting Crazy Dragon, and now they can send several pseudo-demon kings to arrive, which shows that the strength of this lineage is definitely extraordinary.
Therefore, in this battle between the two sides, the several major forces did not seem to be at a disadvantage in the confrontation at the early Nascent Soul level.
And judging from the situation, it seems that the head of the Yang family and others still have some trump cards that have not been used, and the battle is mainly defensive, as if they are waiting for an opportunity to come.
"I suppose you are waiting for reinforcements?"
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, a smile in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Yang clan leader's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, but he sneered and said, "So what?"
"As far as I know, Master Tai Heng has fallen into a deep sleep. Now that Master Tai Heng is gone, can you completely defeat us?"
Jinlian Zhenjun also sneered, and said with cold eyes: "I have sent a message to Xuanyin Saint Son. If you don't retreat now, you will die when His Highness Saint Son arrives to kill you."
"Is that so?" Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then sneered and said, "But since I have already taken action, how could I not be on guard against the Xuanyin Saint?"
As soon as the words fell, an incomparably majestic aura erupted from the sky a hundred thousand miles away.
Everyone looked up and found that the Holy Son of Xuanyin and a white-haired old man were blocked in the void by a tall and mighty figure, and they dared not move at all.
"Saint Lord Taihuang, why would he personally intervene in our feud?"
Upon seeing this scene, the Yang ancestor's expression suddenly changed drastically with shock.
Jinlian Zhenjun and others also showed expressions of horror, and were obviously extremely surprised by Taihuang Saint Lord.
At this moment, a murderous intent suddenly erupted between heaven and earth, and a divine bird that covered the sky and the sun broke through the air.
But it looked like a chicken, with double pupils in its eyes and scarlet feathers. It made a sound like a phoenix that shook the earth, and with the flapping of its wings it charged into the formation with the power to destroy all things.
"Chongming Bird, this is not good - this is the sacred beast under the command of Taiheng Zhenjun."
Jinlian Zhenjun's expression suddenly changed, and for the first time he showed an expression of extreme shock and anger.
The Chongming Bird is a rare ancient beast and also one of the true spirits of the ancient heaven and earth. It has the power of the powerful golden-winged Roc and its combat power is extremely strong among those of the same level.
The double-headed bird in front of him has a special identity. It is the true spirit of heaven and earth that has been cultivated by True Lord Taiheng for many years, and its cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
What’s rare is that, in theory, his lifespan is as high as over 6,000 years, so there might be a glimmer of hope for him to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage in the future.
Originally, True Lord Jinlian thought that after True Lord Taiheng fell into deep sleep, this Chongming bird would not come out easily.
After all, although Master Taiheng had a grudge against him, the Fiery Golden Eagle was already dead, and the Chongming Bird was separated by a layer, so the possibility of him taking action should be small.
The most crucial thing is that since they already had the trump card of Xuanyin Saint Son, even with the help of Chongming Bird they would not be able to reverse the situation.
But now the Holy Son of Xuanyin is unable to extricate himself, and the Chongming Bird is still involved in the battlefield, and it has become a decisive factor in the battlefield.
Seeing the Chongming Bird flying through the air and coming towards him, Jinlian Zhenjun's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Brother Yang, if you can't show your trump card today, I'm afraid we will be doomed."
The ancestor of the Yang family's face darkened, and he immediately summoned a puppet with a flick of his sleeve.
This is an extremely ancient bronze puppet. It seems to have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years and is covered with traces of time.
Obviously, this is a puppet obtained from ancient ruins. Its quality may have reached the fourth-grade upper level, but because it is too old, its power is greatly reduced.
After being repaired by the Yang family, it can still barely exert the strength of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and is also one of the biggest trump cards of the Yang family.
However, this puppet is too rotten, so rotten that the Dao patterns on it have been worn out. Therefore, every use will cause the puppet to wear out faster, and there is even a risk of complete destruction.
It is precisely because of this that this puppet has become the Yang family's trump card, a trump card that cannot be easily used unless it is necessary.
For this battle, the ancestor of the Yang family summoned this puppet. Seeing that the war situation was not going well, the head of the Yang family immediately used this treasure to stop the Chongming Bird.
"Do it."
At this moment, all the Yuanying Zhenjuns of the Ye family completely exploded. The first one to take action was the Fighting Golden Ape, who directly activated the Fighting Holy Blood in his body, raising his combat power to almost the top Yuanying early stage realm, and stopped the two Yuanying Zhenjuns with his own strength.
At the same time, Shui Hanqing, Lihuo Jiaolong, Ye Kunling and other geniuses at the Yuanying level of the Heavenly Dao also burst out with all their strength, allowing Ye Xuqiu and Ye Yingxu to escape.
In an instant, the two geniuses attacked at the same time, using their best tactics to intervene in the battlefield.
In this battle, Ye Yingxu summoned five puppets to form a military formation to surround the ancestor of the Yang clan, while Ye Xuqiu used forbidden techniques to swing his strongest sword and slashed towards the main force of the Yang clan.
Faced with the two people who were fighting at their full strength, the Yang clan leader and the ancestor did not dare to be negligent and were forced to fight against them with all their strength. This gave Ye Linyuan the opportunity to fight against Jinlian Zhenjun alone.
"This battle will end with you."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and used all his strength to urge countless sea dragons to circle around, trapping Master Jinlian in them and making it difficult for him to find a chance to escape.
The Golden Lotus True Lord practiced the Golden Fire Method and was naturally restrained by the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag. Facing Ye Linyuan alone at this time, he immediately felt that the situation was very bad.
At the critical moment of her life, she decisively activated the forbidden technique, at the cost of carrying a heavy burden on her body, and forcibly broke through the dragons in the sky in search of a glimmer of life.
One has to admit that True Lord Jinlian is indeed powerful. When she exerted her full strength, she actually broke a corner of the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
But just as she escaped from the siege of the dragon, she fell into an even more dangerous crisis.
But Ye Linyuan was standing calmly above the sky, like a bright moon across the sky.
And under the brilliant moonlight, countless sea water turned into moonlight swords that crisscrossed the sky and completely enveloped the mountains and rivers within a radius of thousands of miles.
True Lord Jinlian was already at the end of his strength, and faced with the endless sword energy, he immediately revealed a look of despair.
"Chong-"
Ye Linyuan did not give her a chance to speak, as a long river of sword energy swept over from the sky, destroying the physical body of Master Jinlian with unparalleled power, and even his Nascent Soul was completely suppressed.
Seeing that Jinlian Zhenjun was suppressed, the head of the Yang family suddenly changed his expression in horror.
But he activated his own spiritual treasure to block Ye Xuqiu, and then suddenly summoned the ancient treasure, the bronze mirror, in an attempt to penetrate the infinite sword domain and escape.
But hundreds of years have passed, and Ye Linyuan is no longer the same person he used to be. How could it be so easy for him to escape from the Wanhua Sword Domain?
Ye Linyuan casually swung the Wanhua Sword Technique and chopped the ancient bronze mirror back on the spot. The residual power even severely injured the head of the Yang family.
In the moment of danger, the head of the Yang family decisively escaped from his Nascent Soul state, and with the help of a hidden trump card, a fourth-grade top-grade talisman, he barely opened a gap and escaped from the Wanhua Sword Domain.
The ancestor of the Yang family on the other side was not so lucky. He was trapped in the army formation composed of five Nascent Soul puppets. Even though he tried his best to fight his way out of the puppet army formation, he had no chance to escape.
With Ye Linyuan's full-strength attack, the old overlord in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was finally completely defeated.
With the death of the Yang family's ancestor, the rusty ancient puppet lost control and was easily suppressed by the Chongming Bird.
"This battle is over."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, looking at the True Lords on the battlefield, and couldn't help but smile.
In this battle, in a flash, three mid-Nascent Soul giants fell one after another, and the remaining Nascent Soul True Lords no longer had the ability to turn the tables.
But Ye Linyuan made a full-strength attack, urging the Wanhua Sword Art to whiz down, and endless sword energy stirred the world, strangling the Yuanying Zhenjun.
With Ye Linyuan's current level of cultivation, the power of the Wanhua Sword Art is close to that of a full-strength attack in the late Nascent Soul stage.
The power of the late Nascent Soul stage is almost a dimensionality reduction attack on the early Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
This gap was insurmountable. As the Wanhua Sword Art poured down, all the Yuanying True Lords were reduced to ashes in a moment. Almost no one could survive Ye Linyuan's attack.
In the end, among the eleven Yuanying early stage True Lords, only three saw the opportunity early and relied on their trump cards to escape from the Yuanying stage.
The rest of the people died under the swords of Ye Linyuan and the Ye family heroes.
This was an unprecedented victory, in which the four true masters of the Yang family were killed in one battle.
The ancestor of the Yang family and the True Lord Jinlian, both of whom were in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, died here. The two enemies, the True Lord Taiyuan and the True Lord Rentian, were also specially taken care of and dealt with by the Ye family.
“Although we were not able to completely annihilate the powerful enemy in this battle, being able to defeat nine Yuanying True Lords can be regarded as completely breaking the backbone of several major forces.”
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and couldn't help but smile.
After this battle, no matter how strong the Yang family's foundation is, they can only defend at most, and it is impossible for them to have much power to fight back against the Ye family.
The Jinlian Dao Sect even wiped out all its Yuanying True Lords, and from then on it was no longer a threat.
"Fellow Daoist Ye."
At this time, the Chongming bird flew over and threw the bronze puppet to Ye Linyuan. Then, it looked at Ye Linyuan in surprise and said, "Don't forget the blood fruit you mentioned, fellow Daoist?"
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "When I cultivate the blood fruit, my fellow Daoist will certainly not be left out."
This time, the Chongming Bird helped not only out of respect for Master Taiheng, but also because Ye Linyuan had reached a deal with him.
According to the agreement, Ye Linyuan will provide him with a batch of fourth-grade low-grade bloodline fruits as a reward for his help.
Although the Chongming Bird is already a true spirit of heaven and earth, there are differences between the true spirits of heaven and earth. The most common ones are the three levels of ordinary true spirits of heaven and earth, superior true spirits of heaven and earth, and top true spirits of heaven and earth.
Among them, ordinary true spirits of heaven and earth are the most common. In this era, this kind of true spirit of heaven and earth can basically only stop at the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
The higher-level true spirits of heaven and earth basically have the potential to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, such as the Golden-Winged Dapeng Emperor and the Purple Lightning Dragon Emperor of the Cangling Sea, who are basically the higher-level true spirits of heaven and earth.
The top-level true spirits of heaven and earth are extremely rare, and in this era they can all reach the realm of Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
The Chongming Bird is an ordinary true spirit of heaven and earth. It is difficult for it to break through the late Nascent Soul stage in this era, but it is not impossible for it to surpass the limit of its own bloodline.
As long as he refines a large amount of high-level blood elixirs and further enhances his blood power, it is possible for him to transform into a more powerful upper-level true spirit of heaven and earth.
For example, the legendary Red-Blooded Chongming Bird, Purgatory Chongming Bird, and Blue Sky Chongming Bird are all higher-level true spirits of heaven and earth that evolved from the Chongming Bird's bloodline.
Although this is rare, and even in ancient times it was considered a mutant individual, it is not completely impossible.
"Individual differences are enough to make them transcend the racial average."
Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil. He estimated that with the help of these bloodline elixirs, even if the Chongming Bird could not transform into a higher-level true spirit of heaven and earth, its strength in the future would be improved to a certain extent.
One day, it might even increase the probability of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage. (End of this chapter)
