Chapter 1659: The Battle for the Spirit Rings

"As long as you can hold out in the light ring for a hundred breaths, you will gain the recognition of the Zhengu Heavenly Gate, enter it, and obtain the inheritance!"

"Get out of my way, all of you! Die if you block me!"

"This light ring is mine! Boom!"

...

For a moment, countless fervent gazes fixed on the Zhengu Heavenly Gate, all hoping to enter and obtain the inheritance.

But there were only a few hundred seats, and the competition was extremely fierce.

In midair, countless divine origins crisscrossed freely, looking dazzling.

Terrifying laws of power rippled through the sky, and from time to time, martial artists fell.

The scene was extremely brutal!

However, the truly powerful ones had not yet made their move; those charging forward now were just small fry.

"Sir, these guys are like madmen, truly terrifying!" Ning Tianping remarked with emotion.

Ye Yuan smiled upon hearing this and said, "For low-level martial artists, this kind of opportunity is enough to change their lives, so naturally they go all out."

Ning Tianping said, "Fortunately, this Zhengu Heavenly Gate has an age limit; otherwise, there wouldn't be much for us to do."

This Zhengu Heavenly Gate seemed to be seeking a successor, so it limited the bone age to under five thousand years.

Those who reached five thousand years or older would be expelled even if they occupied a light ring.

With Ning Tianping's strength, he was already among the best among those under five thousand years, so occupying a light ring was almost a sure thing.

Otherwise, once those mid-stage Divine Lord realm experts stepped in, what chance would anyone else have?

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's about time. Let's go!"

Ning Tianping smiled faintly and shot forward.

Ye Yuan followed closely, not much slower than Ning Tianping.

"Look, there's a Return to Void realm guy trying to occupy a light ring. Is he looking for death?"

"Haha, it's true that in a big forest, all kinds of birds exist."

"Huh? That's not right! A Return to Void realm, why can he fly?"

"Indeed! I get it—he must have comprehended the laws of space! My god, what a prodigy."

"So what? Whoever blocks me from getting the inheritance, I'll take their life!"

...

Ye Yuan, among a group of Divine Lord realm experts, was far too conspicuous and immediately drew attention.

Under Ning Tianping's protection, Ye Yuan directly occupied a light ring.

Then Ning Tianping occupied a nearby light ring.

Ning Tianping's strength was too great; few could rival him.

"Kid, get the hell out!"

Just after Ye Yuan landed and occupied a light ring, a Divine Lord First Layer martial artist charged at him domineeringly.

Occupying a seat was not the end; one had to stabilize for a hundred breaths to gain the recognition of the Zhengu Heavenly Gate.

Ye Yuan sneered and struck out with the Junyi Sword.

"Boom!"

That martial artist was directly blasted away by Ye Yuan's sword!

Originally, everyone thought Ye Yuan was a soft target and were itching to make a move.

Ye Yuan's sword strike instantly intimidated everyone, making them dare not act rashly.

"This spirit ring, I, Ye, claim it! If anyone disagrees, come and fight!"

Ye Yuan stood with his long sword upright, unparalleled in dominance.

Although he was only at the Return to Void realm, his aura surged to the sky, putting immense pressure on those martial artists, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward.

"How can this kid be so strong?"

"A Return to Void realm, actually able to defeat a Divine Lord First Layer with one sword!"

"I remember now! I heard a few days ago that a Return to Void realm defeated the young master Jing Lu of Quyang Imperial City. It must be him!"

...

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically, showing wariness toward Ye Yuan.

In an instant, many had already backed out, thinking of competing for other spirit rings instead.

"Everyone attack together! He's only one person. Let's see how many he can stop!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd fanned the flames.

Ye Yuan's gaze turned cold as he looked at that person.

That person was none other than Jing Lu!

Those martial artists, stirred up by Jing Lu, were indeed tempted.

"A mere Return to Void kid wants to occupy a spirit ring? Dream on! Everyone attack together!"

Sure enough, more than ten Divine Lord First Heaven experts charged at Ye Yuan together.

Once you occupy a light ring, you cannot move, or the time you've occupied before won't count.

Therefore, every occupant must have extraordinary strength!

Because they are all sitting ducks!

Clearly, Ye Yuan seemed much weaker among them.

Seeing this, Jing Lu felt very pleased.

"Heh, so what if you can fight above your level? I don't believe you can take on over a dozen Divine Lord experts alone! Offend me, and you still want to obtain the inheritance? Dream on!"

With that, Jing Lu thrust his longsword and also charged at Ye Yuan.

In an instant, enemies surrounded Ye Yuan on all sides!

He sneered disdainfully, "Want to bully me with numbers? Then you'd better be ready to die!"

They naturally paid no heed to Ye Yuan's threat.

After all, Ye Yuan was only at Return to Void!

With over a dozen people, they didn't believe they couldn't force Ye Yuan out.

"Buzz!"

Just as those dozen or so were rapidly closing in, suddenly, whoosh whoosh whoosh, they all fell from the air.

Ethereal Sword Art!

With a few sword strikes from Ye Yuan, the several experts charging in front were swept away, their bodies riddled with holes from the sword energy.

"Magnetic Law! My god, how does this kid have so many tricks?"

"Space Law, Magnetic Law, how has this kid comprehended so many esoteric laws?"

"Too strong! Divine Lord First Heaven is no match for him at all!"

...

Ye Yuan's methods shocked everyone.

Under the gaze of over a thousand Divine Lord experts, he single-handedly swept through over a dozen people.

Divine Lord First Heaven experts were utterly powerless before him!

Such strength already made him a top expert among Divine Lord First Heaven.

Naturally, someone like that deserved a seat!

"Anyone else unconvinced can come; I, Ye, will take them all on!"

Ye Yuan stood with his sword, his gaze like a torch, his momentum like a rainbow.

Those experts finally had second thoughts.

"Quick... run! This guy... this guy is too strong!"

The surviving martial artists scrambled away.

Jing Lu had just been hit by the magnetic field and fell flat on his face.

Fortunately, he had charged relatively late and wasn't struck by the sword.

Otherwise, he would now be a corpse.

Looking at Ye Yuan's invincible figure, Jing Lu was filled with fear and venom.

How could there be such a monstrous person in this world? How could anyone have talent greater than his?

Just then, Ye Yuan's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on him.

Jing Lu's whole body stiffened, as if frozen in place, not daring to move.

The killing intent in Ye Yuan's eyes was undisguised; clearly, he was truly angry.

Finally, all the experts retreated, and Ye Yuan's area became a forbidden zone.

Even those Divine Lord Second Heaven experts were unwilling to provoke Ye Yuan.

It wasn't that they feared Ye Yuan, but with soft persimmons to squeeze, why pick a hard one?

Around him, bloody battles raged on, and many young talents fell and perished.

But Ye Yuan stood proudly, and no one dared to challenge him anymore.
