Chapter 561 - 536: Three Multiple-Origin Bodies

When the others had all chosen their opponents, it was time for them to turn on one another.

This was something they did not wish to see.

"Make your move,"

Lu Yan said, and with that, he stepped forward.

Whoosh!

Lu Lingxuan also charged out, her aura locked onto a genius of the Divine Clan.

She wasn’t worried about Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, or Mr. World at all.

Whoever thought they were easy targets was bound to suffer a big loss.

"Lu Lingxuan has made her move, those three from the Dragon Alliance are ours,"

"Don’t fight me for them."

Around them, many had been watching Lu Yan and his group; as soon as Lu Lingxuan made her move and picked an opponent, they were invigorated and swarmed towards Lu Yan’s trio.

"They really see us as weaklings, damn it, I’ll make them regret this,"

Mr. World was extremely annoyed, stepped forward, and faced a fat man with a big ear, waving his hands and casting a sky full of Formation Patterns.

Shen Yinuo also leaped into action, confronting a charming woman.

Whiz!

A long spear flew out, aiming at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan instinctively dodged, avoiding the spear, then saw a burly youth with a divine halo behind his head, staring coldly at Lu Yan.

"Someone from the Divine Clan? Daring to attack me, it seems they haven’t received the news,"

Lu Yan thought to himself.

When he killed Zhao Tianxia and Shen Shengming in the past, not all of the Divine Clan perished, one or two managed to escape, but now, it seemed that those one or two did not reach the Soul Wall and did not tell others of the Divine Clan about Lu Yan’s massacre.

Otherwise, this youth would never dare to make a move against Lu Yan.

Roar!

A roar erupted, and beside Lu Yan, a massive beast appeared, with three heads and the form of a fierce tiger, its gaze ferocious and its body enveloped in immortal light.

The Immortal Clan!

Lu Yan’s eyes brightened.

"You Divine Clan fellow, Lu Yan is mine, don’t even think about competing with me,"

the three-headed fierce tiger of the Immortal Clan coldly snarled, eyeing the youth of the Divine Clan.

Although the youth of the Divine Clan had launched an attack earlier, Lu Yan had dodged it and had not counterattacked, so they were not yet adversaries, leaving room for choice.

"Lu Yan has a feud with my Divine Clan, his head is mine,"

said the youth from the Divine Clan.

"Nonsense, are you, the Divine Clan, trying to be enemies with my Immortal Clan?"

The three-headed fierce tiger’s gaze turned icy.

The youth’s face from the Divine Clan changed, looking somewhat ugly.

But in the end, he said no more.

The Immortal Clan was one of the peak clans of the Origin Continent, their strength much greater than the Three Emperors Alliance.

Although both forces only had a single True One State.

But in terms of the third and second step creators, the Immortal Clan far surpassed the Three Emperors Alliance.

"I’ll leave Lu Yan to you,"

the youth from the Divine Clan growled lowly, forced to slowly back away, but he had not retreated far before his eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Because as he retreated, Lu Yan had already struck, targeting that three-headed fierce tiger.

Lu Yan’s choice of the three-headed fierce tiger was mainly because he needed immortal power to enhance his Saint Soldier’s Formula; since one could only choose one opponent, he had to let the youth of the Divine Clan go.

Crash!

Lu Yan’s palm slammed down, and the three-headed fierce tiger burst apart, its Primordial Spirit annihilated.

From Lu Yan’s palm emanated a powerful devouring force, sucking the flesh and blood of the three-headed fierce tiger clean away.

"This... this..."

The youth from the Divine Clan felt his scalp explode and his body turned cold.

He recognized the three-headed fierce tiger, which was extremely powerful, with a Cultivation Level in the Immortal Ninth Layer and also an Innate Magic Body.

An Innate Magic Body had been killed just like that.

One-shot kill.

Just now, had Lu Yan struck him, his fate would not have been any better.

Meanwhile, Shen Yinuo and Mr. World had also defeated their opponents.

This sent a chill through the youth from the Divine Clan; he turned and fled, but he hadn’t gone far when he was severely injured by an expert who emerged diagonally and quickly shouted in surrender.

"Let’s go up,"

Lu Yan sent a message to Shen Yinuo and Mr. World.

They leaped up and, sure enough, the pressure holding them vanished, and they arrived at the third step.

Lu Lingxuan also reached the third step.

As time passed, more and more people reached the third step.

About half an hour later, there was no one left on the second step.

The victors all reached the third step, totaling fifty-one people.

As for the losers, they returned to the first step, but there were only forty-six left.

The five who had disappeared had been killed.

"You have two hours to heal your wounds; after two hours, the next round of duels will begin,"

voiced an elder from the Origin Dynasty.

Some who were injured immediately took Healing Pills and began to recover.

Even those who were not injured took Magic Elixirs, meditated, and recuperated their depleted strength.

Lu Yan and his companions had barely any depletion, simply standing and waiting.

Those fearsome monsters also showed little depletion, just like Lu Yan and his group, standing in place, scanning their eyes around, assessing everyone and observing their potential opponents behind them.

When their gazes swept over Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo, they all showed a hint of surprise and solemnity.

Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo had just dispatched their opponents with ease, rendering the formidable geniuses present very solemn, not daring to underestimate them.

Lu Yan was also sizing up the others.

About thirty people caught his attention.

These individuals were all at the Initial Body level, coming from various True One forces or Pseudo-Zhenyi Forces, each one a world-renowned prodigy.

But Lu Yan noticed that among them, three individuals stood out unmistakably, distancing themselves from the rest.

This ’rest’ didn’t only refer to the ordinary talents but also included those at the Initial Body level.

Even the geniuses who had reached the Initial Body level were wary of them, drawing attention inevitably.

"Lu Yan, it’s best to avoid those three if possible,"

Lu Lingxuan transmitted to Lu Yan in secret.

"Who are they? Are they strong?"

Lu Yan inquired.

"They are certainly strong, because they, all of them, are Multiple-Origin Bodies,"

Lu Lingxuan said.

"Multiple-Origin Bodies."

Lu Yan’s eyes flashed with curiosity and a hint of fighting spirit in his heart.

An Initial Body, the embodiment of a law, is born with a companion creature that embodies the essence of that particular law, indomitable and able to break through all things with formidable power.

An Initial Body, however, only masters one law or rule.

But a Multiple-Origin Body isn’t limited to one law or rule, and could be the embodiment of two or even three.

This kind of person is much more powerful than a singular law Initial Body.

Of course, Multiple-Origin Bodies are extremely rare.

In the vast Origin Continent, geniuses are as common as clouds, yet an era might pass without a single Multiple-Origin Body being born.

And yet, there were now three standing before him.

"That young man wearing a crown comes from the Origin Dynasty and is the first person in the Immortal Realm of the dynasty. His name is Yuan Tiandao, and he is even the number one in the Immortal Realm of the entire Origin Continent,"

Lu Lingxuan continued to transmit.

"The number one in the Immortal Realm of the Origin Continent."

Lu Yan’s heart trembled.

"That beautiful woman’s name is Ni Hongshuang; she’s from the Nine Generations Heavenly Palace."

"And that young man whose pupils are red and blue is named Li Shenfeng, hailing from the Yin Yang Palace."

Lu Lingxuan kept on briefing.

All of them came from the most powerful forces.

The Origin Dynasty, needless to say, is the premier force of the Origin Continent, boasting to be eternal and undying, having survived countless cycles of cultivation without falling.

The Nine Generations Heavenly Palace is also incredibly powerful, known to be the second most powerful force on the Origin Continent, even surpassing the Immortal Clan in overall strength.

It is said to have undergone nine cycles of cultivation.

The other, the Yin Yang Palace, while not on par with the Origin Dynasty and Nine Generations Heavenly Palace, has also passed through two cycles of cultivation and is fortified by a True One Realm powerhouse.

"I wonder how my strength measures against a Multiple-Origin Body,"

Lu Yan pondered in his heart.

In a same-level battle, ordinary Initial Bodies were already no match for him.

But as for Multiple-Origin Bodies, he had only heard of them but had yet to fight against one, so it was hard to say.

The fighting spirit in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Of course, for the moment he did not want to face a Multiple-Origin Body. He needed to ensure that he made it into the top ten first.

The reward for the top ten, said to be crafted by the mightiest among the True One Realm from various forces, was touted as a heaven-defying opportunity that came once in an immeasurable epoch, not to be missed.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, time’s up. The contest begins now. The rules are the same as before, find your own opponents. There are fifty-one of you on the third step, which means inevitably, one person will be without an opponent and must wait for the next contender to come up for a duel."

"Now, begin."

The voice of an elder from the Origin Dynasty resonated once more.

Swish swish swish!

No sooner had the voice fallen than the sounds of rushing through the air were heard, as most people charged out to find their opponents, including those at the Initial Body level.

Those talents who were not at the Initial Body level did not wish to face those who were, preferring to seek weaker opponents.

And those Initial Body level geniuses also preferred not to face their equals prematurely, also targeting the weaker contestants.

Thus, like Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, and Mr. World, they naturally became highly sought-after targets.

Even though Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo had previously demonstrated strong capabilities, in the eyes of many, they were still considered inferior to those at the Initial Body level, and were thus prioritized as targets.

For example, three figures charged towards Shen Yinuo simultaneously, initiating an attack on her.

Among them, one was at the Initial Body level, while the other two were not.

Shen Yinuo’s figure flashed, dodging the attack from the Initial Body opponent before smashing a fist towards one of the non-Initial Body experts.

After exchanging a blow, the opponents were determined, forcing the other two to withdraw.

Lu Yan, too, was assaulted by three experts.

Among them, two were at the Initial Body level and one was not.

Lu Yan executed Thunder Step, dodging the assault of two before swiftly lunging forward, swinging out a palm that collided with a sharp claw.

The owner of the claw was a creature resembling a dinosaur, clad in scales, a being from the Immortal Clan, also an Initial Body.

He was born with six deadly claws and was known as the Six-claw Crocodile Dragon.

"Hand over the Dao Book and I’ll leave you a whole corpse,"

the Six-claw Crocodile Dragon transmitted to Lu Yan with a killing intent as cold and sharp as a knife.

"If you want the Dao Book, let’s see if you’re capable,"

Lu Yan replied with a faint smile, exuding an air of disdain.

"Then I shall take it myself,"

the Six-claw Crocodile Dragon growled, harnessing the power of the Magic River and augmenting himself with his domain as he lunged to kill Lu Yan.
