The first-ranked of the Ten Sequences, and also the strongest Human Race Prodigy, the most powerful contender for the position of Nameless Mountain Sect Master, Zhao Huaian.
"Alright, let's go."
With that said, all one hundred of them flew towards the massive portal.
And each clan chose to proceed as a group.
Upon entering the Heavenly Palace Ruins, the scene before them suddenly shifted, and what followed was a expanse of ruins.
Looking at the scene before him, Ye Lin couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Buildings floated in the sky, and long spears were broken into two halves.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, and within it, various shattered objects were scattered.
There was practically no intact place.
They were standing on a long corridor.
As the Prodigies from various clans entered, the number of beings standing on the corridor increased.
"Form a square formation, and watch out for each other."
Following Zhao Huaian's words, the surrounding Human Race Cultivators began to move, all standing back-to-back, forming a square, their eyes vigilantly watching these Prodigies from other races.
"Yao Race, come up and fight!"
In the sky, the hundred Shura Clan Prodigies stood in mid-air, each with an incredibly arrogant expression.
The one standing at the front challenged the Yao Race Prodigies in the distance.
"Shura Clan, aren't you being too arrogant? We've just entered these Heavenly Palace Ruins. If we fight now, do you want other clans to take advantage?"
Within the Yao Race formation, a Yao Beast resembling the Divine Beast White Tiger spoke.
Upon hearing this, the Shura Clan looked at the Prodigies of the other races.
"Alright, let's make it a month. On the twenty-ninth day, we fight. If you're scared, then run."
"Alright, on the twenty-ninth day, we fight. By then, the treasures will have been mostly collected, allowing us to take advantage."
After speaking, both of them glanced at the Human Race formation on Ye Lin's side, then began to scatter and search for treasures.
Here, only the Human Race was worth looking at.
After all, in the current East Continent, the three most powerful clans were the Yao Race, the Shura Clan, and the Human Race, forming a three-way standoff.
Seeing that these two powerful clans did not fight, the people from the other clans all sighed.
They didn't fight? How good it would have been if they had! Then they could have taken advantage.
"Alright, I know you all have your own objectives. Here, everyone gets one. This is a communication jade talisman. Once you encounter danger, activate it immediately."
"Everyone else will receive the message. Remember, if you encounter someone from another clan who means you harm, activate it immediately, do not hesitate."
Zhao Huaian took out a large pile of jade talismans and distributed them to everyone, saying solemnly.
"Alright, we understand."
The others nodded, indicating their understanding.
"Alright, on the twenty-ninth day, everyone gather here. The Yao Race and the Shura Clan will have a battle, and our Human Race cannot stand idle. By then, raise your state to the Peak."
"My words are done. gentlemen, take care."
With that, Zhao Huaian and the other Nine Sequences flew off in all directions.
"Take care, I'm leaving first."
Ye Lin patted Jian Wushuang's shoulder, then flew off into the distance.
"Hey, you..."
Jian Wushuang looked at Ye Lin's retreating figure, waved his hand, wanting to say something, but ultimately held it back.
They had clearly agreed to look out for each other, but in a flash, he had abandoned him and run off.
However, Ye Lin didn't have the leisure to play with Jian Wushuang. His primary mission was to obtain the Night Pearl; everything else could wait.
"The Queen Mother Shrine is thirty thousand li from here, a bit far. Just how big are these Heavenly Palace Ruins? As expected of a behemoth that could suppress the East Continent for hundreds of millions of years in the ancient era."
As he flew, Ye Lin grew increasingly impressed by this Heavenly Palace.
It was truly hard to imagine how powerful the Heavenly Palace must have been in its prime.
"Oh, an unexpected surprise. I caught a lone Human Race. Little Human Race, I've been watching you for a long time."
At this moment, Ye Lin stopped, looking at a pure white tiger in front of him. This tiger was the one who had spoken earlier.
"Human Race, I am Bai Jin, a descendant of the ancient Divine Beast White Tiger. State your name."
Bai Jin looked at Ye Lin with playful eyes.
It was as if he had already decided Ye Lin's fate.
"Ye Lin. But, are you the only one around?"
Ye Lin shook his wrist, and immediately, six Sword Orbs flew out, transforming into a long sword. Evil Slayer revolved around Ye Lin.
"I alone am enough, little human. Blame it on your bad luck."
After Bai Jin finished speaking, his expression turned fierce. The entire tiger transformed into a white afterimage, and a claw swiped towards Ye Lin.
A warning bell rang in Ye Lin's heart. He gripped Evil Slayer in his right hand, performed a sword flourish in the air, then raised his sword to block.
Clink.
With a crisp sound, Ye Lin's body rapidly retreated.
And his entire arm was trembling slightly.
"What immense strength."
Ye Lin looked at Bai Jin, his expression extremely solemn.
With just that one move, he already understood that the Bai Jin before him was the strongest opponent he had encountered among those of the same cultivation stage, without a doubt.
"Strange, you're still only a Nascent Soul Middle Stage. I wonder what your Human Race Grand Elders were thinking, sending a Nascent Soul Middle Stage like you here to die."
"I'll give you a chance to call for help. Start calling for help."
Bai Jin lifted his paws and slowly approached Ye Lin, unhurried, as if toying with Ye Lin.
"Call for help? I don't need that stuff."
"Interesting. Then next time, I'll be serious."
After Bai Jin finished speaking, a vast and boundless Aura emanated from his entire body. In an instant, Ye Lin's entire Aura was directly suppressed by Bai Jin.
"Wind Breaker Claw, die."
Bai Jin's face was filled with killing intent. Behind him, a snow-white claw phantom appeared, filled with incredibly fierce power.
"Sword One, Sword Cleaves the Firmament."
Ye Lin dared not be careless. He mobilized all his spiritual power, unleashing his most Peak strike.
Boom.
The sword light collided with the white claw phantom, generating a massive wave of Qi.
The next moment, the sword light shattered, but the white claw phantom also dissipated into the Void Realm.
"A Nascent Soul Middle Stage, yet so powerful. Interesting. But can you withstand this next move?"
Seeing his attack nullified by Ye Lin, Bai Jin's face was full of surprise.
That previous move, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Peak Stage Cultivator would have died upon contact.
It was interesting that Ye Lin could easily nullify it.
He had originally thought Ye Lin was a good-for-nothing, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
"Heaven-Shattering Claw, die."
Bai Jin transformed into a white afterimage, rapidly approaching Ye Lin.
In an instant, Bai Jin's figure had already reached Ye Lin's front.
"Sword Two, One Sword Splits Mountains and Seas."
Ye Lin's entire body radiated a purplish-red light, and all his Destruction Sword Intent merged into Evil Slayer.
A sharp Sword Intent emanated, causing even Bai Jin to narrow his eyes. This Sword Intent was dazzling.
"Slash."
As Ye Lin lightly shouted, the two collided.
In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color.
All around, there was a sudden silence, no sound was heard.
Only waves of white Qi spread out in all directions.
"You fellow, you have some skill. I'll let you off for today. Next time, you will die. I'll remember you, Ye Lin."
Bai Jin leaped on all fours, treading the Void Realm, and ran off into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
"Damn it."
Blood flowed from Ye Lin's arm.
That's right, he was injured from that last strike.
