In the forest.
Sensing the intense killing intent from Lin Yu's God-Slaying Spear, Yu Yuanzhen, lying on the ground in his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon form, couldn't help but feel a surge of fear and unease.
Although his body had been heavily wounded by a strike from Lin Yu's spear, getting knocked away had fortunately freed him from being trapped. Yu Yuanzhen opened his mouth with a furious roar and shot a massive lightning bolt at Lin Yu.
Second Spirit Ability: Thunderous Might!
However, as the silver-blue lightning bolt surged towards him, Lin Yu didn't even flinch. Instead, he activated the Earth Element Yellow Flag above his head.
Instantly, a brown light burst out from the Earth Element Yellow Flag, forming a protective barrier that enveloped Lin Yu.
Yu Yuanzhen's lightning bolt struck Lin Yu, exploding on impact, but was completely blocked by the barrier, leaving Lin Yu unharmed.
This kid, just how many tricks does he have?
Seeing his second spirit ability, Thunderous Might, completely nullified by the yellowish-brown barrier around Lin Yu, Yu Yuanzhen grew even more enraged.
First, the mysterious silver light and that black spear gave him a strong sense of danger. Lin Yu seemed to have endless trump cards!
Yu Yuanzhen hadn't noticed the Earth Element Yellow Flag due to the Mirage Dragon Qi concealing it, and the same went for Lin Yu's Dual Pupils Martial Soul.
Lin Yu had hidden the Earth Element Yellow Flag and his Dual Pupils Martial Soul to avoid revealing his connections to the great Yuqing and Taiqing clones.
After his failed surprise attack, Yu Yuanzhen took to the sky with a roar and activated his third spirit ability, Thunderous Fury, along with his first spirit ability, Thunder Dragon Claw.
In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon form surged with strength due to Thunderous Fury, and his massive dragon claws grew even larger, wrapped in surging lightning.
Fifth Spirit Ability: Thunder's Quadruple Assault!
Sixth Spirit Ability: Heaven-Shattering Dragon Roar!
Following up, Yu Yuanzhen unleashed his fifth and sixth spirit abilities, creating a massive explosion of lightning around him and letting out a deafening dragon roar—a sonic attack.
After unleashing four consecutive abilities, Yu Yuanzhen brought his giant, lightning-wrapped claw down toward Lin Yu.
Unfortunately for Yu Yuanzhen, despite the fierce onslaught of Thunder's Quadruple Assault and Heaven-Shattering Dragon Roar, Lin Yu remained untouchable under the protection of the Earth Element Yellow Flag, as if immune to all attacks.
Facing Yu Yuanzhen's massive claw strike, Lin Yu didn't intend to confront him head-on.
Even though Lin Yu, currently fused with his Golden Dragon Martial Soul and empowered by the Mountain Shaker ability, might not match Yu Yuanzhen's raw strength, why fight strength with strength?
Using the speed advantage of his external soul bone, the Wind-Thunder Wings, and the combat support of his Dual Pupils Martial Soul, Lin Yu decided to play the role of an assassin, continuously inflicting bleeding wounds on Yu Yuanzhen with his God-Slaying Spear. Isn't that much more satisfying?
Dodging Yu Yuanzhen's claw strike, Lin Yu flapped his Wind-Thunder Wings, quickly evading the attack. He then shot towards Yu Yuanzhen's back and drove his God-Slaying Spear deep into his body.
The spear pierced through Yu Yuanzhen's dragon scales, sinking into his flesh, and along with the physical damage, the killing intent of the God-Slaying Spear also invaded Yu Yuanzhen's body.
"Roar!"
In agony, Yu Yuanzhen let out a roar and once again unleashed his fourth spirit ability, Thunder's Quadruple Assault, expelling a burst of lightning from his body to push Lin Yu away.
But it was useless.
Evading the attack, Lin Yu flew back in with his Wind-Thunder Wings and continued to strike Yu Yuanzhen with his God-Slaying Spear, leaving one unhealable wound after another on his massive body.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Prince Xue Xing arrived at the forest behind the mountain.
Watching the battle in the sky, they saw Lin Yu completely overpowering Yu Yuanzhen.
Despite Yu Yuanzhen's furious roars, he continuously bled out, his massive body covered in unhealable wounds laced with dark energy, making for a horrifying sight.
Everyone present—whether it was Dugu Bo or Ning Fengzhi and the others—couldn't help but feel a sense of shock and heaviness in their hearts.
How is Lin Yu this powerful?
But in truth, Lin Yu hadn't even begun to unleash his full strength in this battle against Yu Yuanzhen.
His Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul's Destruction Black Lotus, Martial Soul True Body, Chaos Domain, or even his deadlier Spear Technique: World's End had yet to make an appearance.
If Lin Yu activated his Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul and used the World's End spear technique, he could easily pierce through Yu Yuanzhen's skull with one strike, nailing him to the ground.
"Sect Master, what do we do now?"
On the ground, Sword Douluo Chen Xin frowned as he watched the battle in the sky.
Even someone as powerful as Sword Douluo couldn't help but feel a deep sense of caution and gravity after witnessing Lin Yu's strength against Yu Yuanzhen.
"Why don't you all come at me together? Isn't this whole alliance just to pressure me for my immortal spirit herbs?"
In the sky, as he dodged Yu Yuanzhen's attacks, Lin Yu, with his sharp senses, overheard Sword Douluo Chen Xin's words. With his messy hair flying in the wind, Lin Yu's handsome face broke into a cold and arrogant smile.
"Come on, all of you!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi didn't hesitate anymore. He calmly shouted and summoned his Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Activating his Martial Soul True Body, he quickly boosted Yu Yuanzhen's speed, defense, and spirit power.
At the same time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin took to the skies, summoning his evolved Asura Seven Killing Sword Martial Soul and unleashing the Seven Kill Domain, which enveloped Lin Yu.
"Let's go too!"
On the ground, although they couldn't fly, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin also summoned their Martial Souls, launching their spirit abilities at Lin Yu.
In an instant, a barrage of invisible mental attacks, a massive white cauldron, and countless green vines wrapped around Lin Yu in the sky.
"Hahaha! Come on, bring me some pressure! Yu Yuanzhen, just like his useless son, is far too weak to make this fun!"
Seeing Sword Douluo Chen Xin and the others joining the battle, Lin Yu showed no fear, only laughing wildly with reckless abandon.
Having consumed three immortal spirit herbs and broken through to level 80 Spirit Saint, his power had grown excessively strong.
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't even force Lin Yu to reveal his trump cards, let alone push him to his peak.
Hopefully, the involvement of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Meng Shenji would finally make things a bit more interesting.
