Chapter 306 - Chaos

There was even a possibility that they would be crippled, and it would feel even more terrible than death. This scene made many people shocked, and many people turned to look at Lin Yun with grave expressions.

Everyone from the Gentlemen Union looked at Lin Yun with an unsightly face. They still thought that they could deal with Lin Yun however they like, but they never imagined that Lin Yun would display such frightening strength.

Among the inner disciples, there was a blue-clothed youth who suddenly opened his eyes with a splendour flickering through his eyes. He was shocked by Lin Yun’s physique. He never imagined that someone would actually succeed in practicing the Primal Chao Sect’s Dracophant Battle Physique.

However, he didn’t think that Lin Yun’s origin energy was stronger than his. The Firecloud Art that he cultivated could make his origin energy blaze like fire, and no one in the fifth stage could take more than ten palms from him. Then again, Lin Yun’s fist technique seems troublesome.

When he saw how Lin Yun fused the seals together, he knew that this was a monster. The youth then smiled. It looks like I won’t be able to get the cosmic artifact so easily now.

Compared to other disciples who stood out, he maintained a low-profile. Not many in the inner sect were acquainted with him.

The Gentlemen Union looked at Lin Yun with fear. Aside from Chu Haoyu, the second strongest in the Gentlemen Union, Wu Bing, spoke out, “Senior Brother Chu, do we have to go up together? Senior Brother Wang already said that it’s fine even if we sacrifice ourselves for you to obtain the first.”

As he spoke, the elites from the Gentlemen Union came before Chu Haoyu, “Please give us an instruction!”

Chu Haoyu was shocked. He never expected that Wang Yan would go this far just for him to become the champion. But he wouldn’t do that out of his pride. He replied, “There’s no need for that. The champion is mine, and Wang Yan is looking down on me to think that I’ll need you guys to help me with that. Furthermore, I can easily defeat Lin Yun if I want. My strongest opponent isn’t him.”

If he wasn’t concerned with some opponents who were hiding in the dark, he would’ve already made his move against Lin Yun. Han Zhengyang thought that he could do whatever he wanted after refining the Imperial Sword Herb, but he was just a fool.

“Our greatest enemy here isn’t Lin Yun?” The Gentlemen Union’s disciples were shocked.

“You guys will know soon. The final battle has just started. So let’s enjoy the show for now,” smiled Chu Haoyu.

The Asura Alliance’s disciples spoke out with a grave expression, “Senior Brother Jiang, the Gentlemen Union actually didn’t make a move against Lin Yun.”

“That’s not surprising. With Chu Haoyu’s pride, killing Lin Yun is nothing in his view. His goal has always been the cosmic artifact. Now that he witnessed Lin Yun’s strength, he won’t make a move abruptly to give others an opportunity,” smiled Jiang Feng with disdain.

“Then what should we do?”

“Wait and see,” replied Jiang Feng. He sneered inwardly. He was long unhappy with Chu Haoyu. If Chu Haoyu didn’t consider him as an enemy, then he would give Chu Haoyu a huge surprise later. Everyone thought that his Originmurk Art reached complete mastery thanks to the Imperial Sword Herb, but no one knew that his cultivation technique was already at complete mastery.

This meant that no one knew what he got from the Imperial Sword Herb, and it was his trump card that he didn’t wish to reveal so early.

“How are you?” Li Wuyou came to Lin Yun after dealing with his opponent.

“It’s fine. I just exhausted some origin energy. Be careful about it. There are experts among the inner disciples that even Chu Haoyu is cautious about.” Lin Yun defeated the trio because he wanted to intimidate everyone at the top ten on the Mortal Ranking.

After all, it would be placed in a disadvantageous position if all of them came at him right from the start. But fortunately, he was pretty lucky that these people now had their concerns after witnessing his strength.

Lin Yun smiled because there was a lot of garbage in the top ten. Just earlier, he noticed a frightening gaze coming from the inner disciples, but it was gone when he wanted to find it. This meant that there was an expert among the inner disciples.

As time slowly passed, the disciples here became more cautious. At the same time, tens of humanoid flaming monsters were suddenly formed in the sea of flames. Those monsters carried sword intent, and they would attack the disciple closest to them without any sign.

This surprise made many disciples cry out as they fell into the sea of flames. In a split second, hundreds of people were eliminated when they fell into the sea of flames. This was when the brutality of the final battle was revealed.

“Flaming Souls!” Everyone exclaimed out. This should be the Flaming Souls mentioned by Bai Ting. It was due to the mutated flame vein underground that basked in sword intent throughout the years. Furthermore, the Flaming Souls were comparable to the sixth stage demonic beasts, just that they were more terrifying. After all, they had a powerful physique and they didn’t fear death.

“It looks like there aren’t any loopholes or shortcuts in the final battle,” sighed Lin Yun. There were those who naturally wanted to avoid a battle, but it was impossible with the Flaming Souls around. This also meant that forcing yourself to stay in the Sword Tomb will only result in pointless death.

“Damn it!”

“These Flaming Souls can’t be killed…”

“What should we do?” The Sword Tomb plunged into chaos.

Back on the observation platform, the disciples and elders all wore a grave expression. The final battle was too intense, and this Alliance-Union Battle was truly the toughest in the past century. This way, the hundred remaining were absolutely elites without any luck. Furthermore, those who made it into the top ten rankings could be known as monsters, and they could be well-groomed.

But this chaos meant that no one could continue hiding. When the Flaming Souls appeared, some disciples remained their composure and some even looked at the Flaming Souls with anticipation. After all, the crystals were even more precious than Swordcloud Cores.

“They can’t be killed?” The blue-clothed youth, Chang Wu, threw a punch and destroyed a Flaming Soul. When it regenerated, the flames on it were dimmer than before.

“It doesn’t seem terrifying at all,” smiled Chang Wu. He then smacked his palm over. His origin energy blazed like flames that blazed even more ferociously than the Flaming Souls.

The Flaming Soul dissipated once more and regathered itself. Right at this moment, a cold light flashed in Chang Wu’s eyes. His hand plunged into the Flaming Soul and retrieved a crimson crystal.

By just holding onto it, Chang Wu could sense his cultivation technique circulating violently. It was a perfect match to the Firecloud Art, and he even had hopes of reaching complete mastery if he had a few more.

“You’ve hidden pretty well.” A figure appeared before Chang Wu when the Flaming Soul dissipated.

“Chi Haoyu?” Chang Wu smiled bitterly, “Junior Brother Chu, have you recognised the wrong person? I’m not your opponent.”

He then pointed to Lin Yun. Lin Yun was also facing a Flaming Soul, and he was in the upper-hand.

“He had only joined the sect and reached the fifth stage recently. His cultivation is his greatest disadvantage. He’s lucky if he can make it into the top ten, but you and I both know that he’s not the strongest here,” said Chu Haoyu.

“That means you’re going to act against me? smiled Chang Wu bitterly.

“The champion belongs to me, and I’ll kill whoever stands in my way!” Chu Haoyu stabbed his sword forth, which produced an earth-shaking collision.

“Chu Haoyu drew his sword!” That sword was too bright, which caught everyone’s attention. The inner disciples were shocked when they saw it. Chu Haoyu was attacking Chang Wu? Wasn’t that fellow ranked at one thousand on the Mortal Ranking? So why did Chu Haoyu pay attention to someone like him?
