Chapter 2923: Chapter 2897: The Might of Ye Lingtian! (Sixth Update)

However, no one regarded Ye Chen as being at the Disaster Slaying realm!

After all, in the Lingwu Continent, strength reigns supreme, not just the level of cultivation!

In the finals, Ye Chen’s first opponent was a cultivator at the Chaos Realm Sixth Level, whose absolute technique was a unique Ye family finger technique known as the "Spirit Finger".

In this battle, Ye Chen merely released a sliver of True Martial Intent, defeating the opponent with just one finger.

An uproar erupted instantly.

In everyone’s eyes, not many could achieve such a feat; considering comprehensive combat strength, Ye Chen had already risen to the upper middle ranks among the thirty contestants.

This move still had an element of cunning, but apart from jealousy and anger, the Ye family disciples could only accept reality.

Whether it was luck or some other reason, the first opponent Ye Lingtian faced in the finals was actually a genius disciple at the Chaos Seventh Layer Heaven.

This person was from the line of Elder Ye Ziming, named Ye Jing. He had always been at Ye Sheng’s side, seemingly a follower of Ye Sheng.

"You barbarian kid from a low-level martial plane, a fool who can’t even recognize pearls, how dare you offend Brother Ye Sheng? Today, I’ll teach you how to behave properly!"

Upon stepping onto the Martial Arts Arena, Ye Jing immediately taunted Ye Lingtian below the stage!

A cold glint flashed in Ye Lingtian’s eyes, and with an expression as calm as an ancient well, he flew onto the arena and directly took out the Abyss Punishment Spear.

In the high skies, the expressions of the three Ye family elders changed suddenly!

"Exchanges must be conducted without harming kin relations, and definitely no intentional killing!" Ye Ziming’s voice suddenly echoed, warning Ye Lingtian.

Ye Jing, however, appeared complacent, his attitude grew more arrogant as he took a big step forward, with the form of a solemn Buddha appearing above his head.

The chant of the Buddha, a forbidden divine power!

"The elder intervenes, barring me from killing you, so I shall ferry you out of the sea of suffering. From now on, you will serve me!" Ye Jing sneered maliciously.

This Buddhist divine power was not self-created by the Ye family, but it was a critical absolute technique stored within the Divine Power Pavilion of the Ye family.

In its golden age, the Ye Family Ancestor had subdued a great powerhouse from Buddhism, who was one of the foundational figures of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds’ Buddhism back then, an extraordinary presence!

The chant of the Buddha is that Buddha’s absolute technique, exceedingly domineering; if one were converted by it, even their soul would be controlled, losing all sense of self, a fate worse than death.

Ye Jing’s use of this absolute technique against Ye Lingtian was indeed malevolent.

Ye Lingtian snorted coldly, put away the Abyss Punishment Spear, deciding to give face to the Ye family elder.

Ye Lingtian glanced at Ye Chen in the distance, who was wearing a mysterious smile. Seeing Ye Chen nod, he no longer hesitated and closed his eyes tightly!

The Ancient Intent burst out from his body, piercing straight into the clouds!

At the same time, seven stars became faintly discernible within Ye Lingtian, forming the shape of the Beidou Seven Stars, and then a streak of silvery starlight shot towards Ye Jing.

The shadowy figure of the Buddha clasped its hands, its expression filled with sorrow, and as its mouth opened, a Buddha character emerged, accompanied by the sound of Buddhist chanting, attacking Ye Lingtian.

The silvery starlight collided with the Buddha character, which disintegrated upon contact, and the starlight, like lightning, continued to blast towards Ye Jing.

Beside the Martial Arts Arena, the expressions of the two Ye family powerhouses at the Chaos Realm Seventh Level, who were serving as referees, changed drastically. One decisively struck, aiming a palm at Ye Lingtian, attempting to block his attack, while the other unleashed a divine power, converging his True Martial Intent, aiming to destroy Ye Lingtian’s recently unleashed "Beidou Divine Fist"!

In the midst of the confusion, two figures were seen being blasted away, one of whom was Ye Jing on the arena, while the other was surprisingly the Ye family powerhouse who attacked Ye Lingtian.

Ye Jing fell to the ground, his face pale as gold, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, unconscious, his breath weak. Though still alive, he was destined to be a cripple from now onwards.

The referee from the Ye family also had blood at the corner of his mouth, looking at Ye Lingtian in astonishment, his entire body trembling slightly. Upon exchanging just one move, he realized he was far from being Ye Lingtian’s match!

In that brief moment of clash, he even felt the suppression of his bloodline!

At this moment!

The entire place fell silent, so silent that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

Had Ye Lingtian only defeated Ye Jing, it would still be within reason, but what had just happened?

Ye Lingtian had actually defeated the referee!

That referee was a powerhouse at the Chaos Realm Seventh Level!𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This silence lasted for dozens of breaths, followed by the sound of gasps, and then a deluge of discussions erupted.

"Indeed, you had hidden your strength... Just now, that spear seemed like the Supreme Treasure of the Ye family mentioned by the elder, the Abyss Punishment Spear! This ancestral ceremony has alerted some hidden hands of the Ye family, my chance has come!"

Ye Niang, who had just established a connection with Ye Lingtian, mused secretly.

Ye Sheng and Ye Tanzhu were left in shocked daze, and then a cold sweat broke out instantly!

The scene of them humiliating Ye Lingtian just over an hour ago was still vivid. If Ye Lingtian had unleashed his power then...

Even if they had used the trump cards given by their respective elders, the outcome might have been disastrous!

"Late-stage Chaos Realm! He hid his level of cultivation, who exactly is he? I can’t believe he’s not even a thousand years old yet!" Ye Sheng gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

"Damn it, this person is playing the pig to eat the tiger, he’s an unrivaled fierce person! Senior Ye Sheng, I fear even if we joined forces, we wouldn’t stand a chance against him. The elders... they seem to have already acknowledged him!"

Ye Tanzhu saw clearly that Elder Xueqing had just summoned Ye Lingtian, which meant that he had passed the elders’ approval.

The two referees looked towards the direction of several elders high above. Faced with this unexpected event, they didn’t know what to do.

"Ye Lingtian wins! The competition continues," Elder Xueqing’s voice resonated.

The referee announced the names for the next duel. It was only after calling four to five times that the participants took the stage, as the crowd’s attention had been fixated on Ye Lingtian, taking some time to recover.

Ye Chen remained low-key, throughout the process even appearing intentionally somewhat strained.

He was well aware that this time, he couldn’t be too dazzling!

There were more people hiding behind!

In the second match of the finals, Ye Lingtian’s opponent directly conceded. In the third match, his opponent was a cultivator at the Chaos Realm Seventh Level and was defeated in just one round.

That person stepped onto the stage not aiming to win, but to test. After this battle, the younger generation of the Ye family extinguished any lingering hope in their hearts.

They confirmed undoubtedly that Ye Lingtian was a hidden genius, whose prowess left them utterly in despair!

Strangely, in the first two matches, Ye Sheng, Ye Zigeng, and Ye Niang never faced off against Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen, nor did they compete against each other.

Ye Chen understood this very clearly; the competition seemed fair, but in reality, there was manipulation behind the scenes.

His "good fortune" appeared to be the intention of the Ye family seniors, avoiding clashing with seeded players in several matches.

In fact, it was because the three elders also valued him greatly and dared not test him lightly.
