Chapter 803: The Battle of the Twin Flames of Demon Slayer

"Ho ho ho~"

The Yamata no Machi monster roared at the group of prodigies, spewing out green saliva that was extremely disgusting.

Yan Wuxi and Jian Shiyi, one on the left and one on the right, unleashed their flames and longswords simultaneously.

A terrifying force swept out.

Gu Changshan was not to be outdone, so he rose from the sky and struck out with his palm at the Yamata no Demon.

Yan Lin's gaze was fixed on Yan Wuxi. He sensed an extremely strong flame power emanating from Yan Wuxi, which was in no way inferior to his own.

Yan Wuxi had already noticed Yan Lin, but now was not the time for a major battle. What he needed to do now was to take down the Yamata no Orochi in front of him.

A group of prodigies joined forces to besiege the Yamata no Orochi. Even though the Yamata no Orochi was indeed at the late stage of the Dao King realm, and even faintly possessed the strength of the Heavenly King realm, it was still overwhelmed by this group of super prodigies.

"boom!"

Lin Fan unleashed a blade domain of power, unleashing a single "Slash" technique that severed one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads.

The Yamata no Orochi had one of its heads chopped off by Lin Xuan, and it howled in pain, its attacks becoming even more ferocious.

Seeing that Lin Fan had actually cut off the first head, Gu Changshan was not to be outdone and immediately launched a full-scale attack, shattering the second head of the Yamata no Orochi.

Then came the third head, the fourth head... and the seventh head.

The mighty demon Yamata no Orochi had seven-tenths of its head cut off, leaving only a head, and on that head was Xu Tuo.

Huang Yunzhi sat down, and a smile finally appeared on his usually indifferent face.

"Not bad, not bad. This is truly a great era for martial arts. Your Divine Continent has indeed produced quite a few outstanding talents, especially some of them, who are no less than you, Gu Tianxu."

Huang Yunzhi looked at Gu Tianxu with a smile.

Gu Tianxu smiled as well.

"Hehe, new talents emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Now it's a new era. Most of these young people are no worse than I was back then, and some are even stronger and have more advantages than I was back then."

Huang Yunzhi liked Gu Tianxu's humility even more.

Most of the geniuses in the Immortal Realm are extremely confident, even arrogant. Someone like Gu Tianxu is truly rare.

Only someone like Gu Tianxu can go further and stand higher.

"One more thing."

Gu Tianxu suddenly added.

Huang Yunzhi looked at Gu Tianxu curiously, waiting for Gu Tianxu's next words.

Gu Tianxu smiled and continued, "Half of the geniuses here are from the Eastern Continent, not from our Divine Continent."

Gu Tianxu's words piqued Huang Yunzhi's curiosity. Huang Yunzhi had some understanding of this small world. Shenzhou was the only place with the Immortal Path, and only Shenzhou had enough Immortal Source to provide an environment for becoming an immortal.

As for the other four continents—east, west, south, and north—without the support of immortal resources, they are naturally far inferior to the Divine Continent.

Bai Xiaosheng was an unexpected talent. He emerged from the Eastern Continent and dominated a generation. However, Huang Yunzhi initially did not think highly of Bai Xiaosheng and eventually lost such a prodigy.

The All-Knowing Scholar is now a very famous figure in the Immortal Realm.

"Who are the people from Dongzhou?"

Huang Yunzhi had a deep impression of Dongzhou, so he made a point of asking about it.

Gu Tianxu didn't hide anything and pointed out all the geniuses of Dongzhou in the picture.

Huang Yunzhi was somewhat surprised, because everything that Gu Tianxu pointed out had caught Huang Yunzhi's eye.

Each of these prodigies has their own strengths. If nurtured properly, they will at least reach the level of a Xuanxian (Mysterious Immortal), and might even become a Dixian (Earth Immortal).

"Did Dongzhou actually produce so many geniuses this time?"

Huang Yunzhi silently counted for a moment, and found that more than half of the people in the picture were from Dongzhou, which was really bizarre.

The Yan Clan, Xu Clan, and Sima Clan, the three ancient clans, were all speechless. The combined geniuses of their three clans were not even one-tenth as good as those of the Eastern Continent.

Yu Buxian sighed softly. This year's Dongzhou students are unbelievably monstrous.

The Thunder Clan Chief breathed a sigh of relief. Although some members of the Thunder Clan had clashed with the Eastern Continent, they had never truly offended the Eastern Continent on any major issues, leaving room for reconciliation.

"Haha, that's really true, but you'll have to ask Brother Lin about that. Most of these prodigies were cultivated by my brother Lin on his own."

Gu Tianxu immediately pushed Lin Xuan forward.

Huang Yunzhi had already noticed Lin Xuan, because he found that he couldn't see through Lin Xuan, which was extremely rare.

"My name is Lin Xuan. I greet Elder Huang."

Now that Lin Xuan knew Huang Yunzhi's identity, he naturally treated him with great respect. After all, Huang Yunzhi was a senior figure in the cultivation world, and showing him respect was perfectly acceptable.

"Hehe, you must be Lin Xuan from Dongzhou, right? I've been following you for a while!"

Huang Yunzhi looked at Lin Xuan and chuckled, his smile appearing rather amiable.

“I am from Dongzhou. There are indeed many of the little guys in the picture who are from my Lin clan in Dongzhou.”

Lin Xuan made no attempt to hide anything. If Lin Fan and the others were to be favored by Huang Yunzhi and taken to the Immortal Realm, then it would be their good fortune.

As for the Immortal Path, Lin Xuan decided to venture out on his own. However, the minimum requirement to go to the Immortal Path is to reach the Throne Realm. Lin Xuan cannot take Lin Fan and the others with him. Therefore, if Lin Fan and the others can be taken directly to the Immortal Realm by Huang Yunzhi, it would be a great fortune for them.

"This is really good, Lin Xuan. There are quite a few of these young guys that I think highly of. If possible, they can all come with me to the Immortal Realm. My Immortal Sect will definitely do its best to cultivate them."

Huang Yunzhi felt more and more that these little guys from Dongzhou were not simple.

To be born in such a lowly place and still possess such powerful abilities demonstrates that one's luck, talent, and opportunities are all exceptionally good.

In particular, personal fortune, this ethereal thing, is extremely important in the immortal realm.

"Then I thank Elder Huang for his appreciation on behalf of my young men."

Lin Xuan smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Huang Yunzhi.

Everyone else watching this scene was extremely envious. They never expected that the young people from Dongzhou would be the first ones Huang Yunzhi would ask for.

This means that Dongzhou now has an extra "immunity card".

After all, so many geniuses from Dongzhou went to the Immortal Realm. As long as one of them completes his studies and returns to the small world, anyone who bullies Dongzhou will definitely be punished.

Who would dare to gamble on that?

The faces of the Xu, Sima, and Yan clans were all extremely grim, especially the Xu and Sima clans, who were now deeply regretting provoking Dongzhou.

Yu Buxian of the Feather Clan felt extremely fortunate. Fortunately, his daughter had good judgment and took a liking to Lin Xuan at first sight. Although the Feather Clan and the Eastern Continent Forest Clan had a feud in the past, now not only was the feud resolved, but the Feather Clan could also benefit from it because of his daughter.

"Haha, this is great! I think highly of these little guys. Even in the immortal realm, they wouldn't be just ordinary people."

Huang Yunzhi stroked his beard and laughed heartily, growing more and more fond of the dozen or so Eastern Continent people bravely fighting the Yamata no Orochi in the scene.

Under the combined attack of Lin Fan and the others, the Yamata no Orochi finally lost its last head. As the last head fell to the ground, Xu Tuo returned to his original appearance, but he had already been drained of blood by the Yamata no Orochi and had become a dried-up corpse.

"Damn it, that bastard got off too easily, just letting him die like that!"

Lin Chang'an lifted Xu Tuo's corpse and, in a fit of rage, stomped hard on Xu Tuo's face.

Lin Fan let out a long breath.

"Forget it, since the person is already dead, there's no point in dwelling on it. Let's go to the Immortal Realm and see if we can find a way to revive Xianyuan."

Lin Fan's words startled everyone.

Long Aotian, Yan Wuxi, and the others stared at Lin Fan in disbelief.

Lin Fan's ambition is too great; he actually wants to resurrect the dead. This is simply outrageous and violates the laws of nature.

“That’s right, I support the young clan leader’s decision to go to the Immortal Realm and find a way to revive Xianyuan!”

Lin Chang'an raised his arm and rallied support for Lin Fan.

Long Xian'er's eyes were resolute. She couldn't accept that Li Xianyuan was leaving her like this. He was going to the Immortal Realm too!

"Hmph! To think of resurrection after death is utterly delusional. You're dreaming too much!"

Yan Lin sneered and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Lin Fan and the others immediately fixed their gazes on Yan Lin, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

Yan Lin felt a chill run down his spine. The combined gazes of these people gave him a sense of oppression.

"Hehe, you must be the patriarch of the Yan Clan. I am Yan Wuxi, the crown prince of the Yan Li Empire in the Eastern Continent. I have heard that you are the number one fire user in the Divine Continent, but I am not convinced and I want to challenge you."

Yan Wuxi slowly walked out and looked coldly at Yan Lin.

Yan Lin narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Yan Wuxi walk out.

"Hehe, I noticed you a long time ago. I thought you were at most on par with Yan Zhan, but I didn't expect you to actually have some skills. But you're a bit too confident to challenge me."

Yan Lin set his standards very high, and his words were full of confidence.

Yan Wuxi sneered, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up slightly, his smile looking rather strange.

"In literature there is no first place, but in martial arts there is no second. Since that's the case, let's have a battle and see if your fire power as the young patriarch of the Yan Clan is stronger, or my fire power as Crown Prince Yan Li is superior."

Yan Wuxi gave Yan Lin no chance, immediately taking a step forward and unleashing the power of his flames, pressing down directly on Yan Lin.

"Little tricks!"

With a wave of his hand, Yan Lin unleashed a burst of crimson flames that shattered Yan Wuxi's divine power of fire.

"Then let's fight!"

Yan Wuxi launched the first attack.

Yan Lin was equally unyielding and immediately went to meet Yan Wuxi.

The two young men who were the most skilled with fire on the continent clashed in this Tianyuan Secret Realm.

The others tactfully made room for the two to fight.

Both of their flames were enhanced by earth fire, and the resulting heat was enough to melt refined iron, and could even burn down a mountain in an instant.

"Uncle, do you think Yan Wuxi can defeat Yan Lin?"

Lin Chang'an stood beside Lin Fan and asked curiously.

"Yan Wuxi is very strong, ridiculously strong. Although he didn't show off his abilities at first, he was very good at hiding them. Especially after Yan Wuxi subdued a fire and activated his 100% fire affinity, I don't think I have any confidence in defeating him."

Long Aotian looked at the battle in the arena and said very seriously.

The others also strongly agreed with Long Aotian's words.

Yan Wuxi's 100% affinity is equivalent to a special physique. In addition, Yan Wuxi possesses the rare and naturally occurring earth fire, which makes him even more powerful and formidable.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "We'll know who's stronger after the fight."

The members of the ancient clan also expressed their opinions on the two prodigies who were skilled in using fire.

"Brother Changsheng, Brother Changshan, who do you think is stronger between the two of them?"

Gu Qiyue watched with curiosity the fierce battle between Yan Wuxi and Yan Lin.

Gu Changshan crossed his arms and said, “Yan Lin, I fought him once. We fought for over a thousand moves. Although Yan Lin lost to me by one move in the end, Yan Lin’s fighting power is definitely not to be underestimated. That guy named Yan Wuxi is not bad, but it will be difficult for him to defeat Yan Lin.”

"Brother Changsheng, what do you think?" Gu Qiyue asked Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng leaned lazily to one side, his eyes drooping, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. We'll know who's stronger after the fight."

Yan Lin is very strong, and Yan Wuxi is naturally not weak either.

The two started from the first move... the tenth move...

The hundredth move.

The 200th move.

The 300th move.

……

The thousandth move.

The two fought for over a thousand moves, yet neither could gain the upper hand, and the battle reached a stalemate.

At this moment, Gu Changshan's gaze towards Yan Wuxi finally became serious.

Yan Lin couldn't defeat Yan Wuxi even after a thousand moves, which is enough to prove that Yan Wuxi is a prodigy on the same level as Yan Lin.

In other words, this person named Yan Wuxi is able to contend with him.

Gu Changshan found it hard to believe that there was a prodigy in Dongzhou who could rival him.

Although there are many geniuses in the Eastern Continent, Gu Changshan did not take the Eastern Continent seriously. In Gu Changshan's eyes, these geniuses in the Eastern Continent were at most at the level of Sima Zhao. Who would have thought that someone so powerful would suddenly appear?

Outside the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the Yan Clan members were all gaping in disbelief. Their young clan leader had actually been fought to a draw by a fire-wielding fellow from the Eastern Continent.

Yan Sheng frowned slightly. "You both use fire, and you even have the surname Yan?!"

What are the odds of such a coincidence?

The Yan Clan originally had many branches, and it seems that the bloodline of the Yan Clan was distributed across the four continents of the east, west, south, and north. However, due to the passage of time, they lost contact with the original Yan Clan.

Could Yan Wuxi also be of the Yan clan bloodline?

"The Heavenly Origin Secret Realm is about to open, and it seems that the two of them will be evenly matched."

Gu Zhanxian spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate to the Tianyuan Secret Realm slowly opened.
