The pair of deep eyes seemed to penetrate the Profound Light Technique, seeing scenes hundreds of miles away, and a calm voice slowly echoed between heaven and earth.
"Since you are hesitant, let me make the choice for you!"
The next second, Lu Yan rose from the mountain peak, his index finger lightly slicing through the space in front of him. With the blessing of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, the spatial transmission of the God of Abyss exhibited an effect far surpassing that of the Abyss God's true self.
A space rift traversed hundreds of miles, tearing apart the Profound Light Technique suspended high in the sky.
Then, Lu Yan, clad in a Profound Black Magic Robe, seemed to step out slowly from an illusory scene, descending into this world.
The next moment, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire fell, shrouding the sky and the sun. The fire stretched for miles, as if intending to incinerate the mountains and boil the sea, illuminating the entire world into a golden sea of fire.
Sixteen Golden Core cultivators were engulfed in the sea of flames, painful wails emanating from their mouths. Almost instantly, two pieces transformed into stars fell to the earth, taking away two trial takers who couldn't hold on.
"This is the Merit Fire, impossible to extinguish with spells, but its damage is limited.
Everyone, use spells to reinforce your body to withstand the flames, but remember not to use sinister arts or Demonic Skills."
Ultimately, there was still a Golden Core cultivator with broad knowledge who identified the nature of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire and proactively reminded, raising countless Protective Spiritual Lights from the sea of fire, revealing several Golden Core cultivators with powerful auras.
"The road to heaven is open but you don't take it; hell has no gate yet you come in!"
"Even if you are strong, can you truly withstand our sixteen... fourteen Golden Core cultivators?"
"Kill Lu Yan, seize the true teachings!"
In an instant, the aura of fourteen Golden Core cultivators tore through the sky.
Their figures dispersed, and dozens of Magic Treasures swirled in the void like a flowing galaxy. Treasures such as the Xuan Sha Seal, Nine Heavens Sword, Demon Extinguishing Banner, Five Elements Mirror, and Blue Sea Pearl all shone with divine light, while a torrent of various mystical Lifebound Divine Techniques transformed into a majestic river of divine techniques.
Among them, three Golden Core cultivators were particularly notable, and at the moment their Lifebound Divine Techniques were triggered, distinctly different pressures manifested in the heavens and the earth, displaying power far beyond ordinary divine techniques.
From deep within the earth came a thundering roar, as a gigantic dragon, condensed by the earth's meridian force, broke through the surface. Each of its scales shimmered with a heavy earth-yellow light. As the Earth Dragon roared, the phantom of a divine mountain condensed in the void, its mountain force descending as ominously as a tilted sky, suffocating.
There were also howling wild winds, transforming into the Nine Heavenly Evil Winds, with countless sharp killing auras carried within. Each wisp could tear through the void. The astral winds, like blades, wove an impenetrable net of death through heaven and earth, causing the void to tremble wherever they passed.
Most astonishing was the starlight that poured down, resembling the Milky Way falling to the mortal world. Countless stellar forces transformed into a splendid rain of light, each drop intending to wash everything away.
The fourteen Golden Core cultivators unleashed their divine techniques, causing the mountains and rivers within a ten-mile radius to collapse, and the sea of clouds to boil. This earth-shattering combined attack seemed intent on completely overpowering Lu Yan.
Above the starry sky, the tenth true inheritor gently picked up a chess piece.
But at the next moment, his action suddenly stalled.
Amid the onslaught of the fourteen Golden Core prodigies, Lu Yan finally made his move again.
Lu Yan, with a calm expression, reached out his right hand, and with a gentle overturn of his palm, a gigantic portal suddenly manifested in the void.
The Four Symbols Gate radiated dazzling divine light, the doors adorned with profound patterns of the earth, water, wind, and fire elements.
Having once comprehended the Primordial Creation Map, although he had not attained the Grotto Heaven Creation Method, Lu Yan made significant gains on the Path of the Four Symbols, advancing the originally nascent Four Symbols Gate to the next level.
Within Lu Yan's body, the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed bloomed at this moment, injecting divine technique empowerment into the Four Symbols Gate, solidifying the once-illusory portal in an instant.
The earth, water, wind, and fire elements intertwined on the gate, as if the universe was being recreated at the beginning of time.
In an instant, the Four Symbols Gate descended across the sky like a celestial canopy.
Whether divine techniques or Magic Treasures associated with the Four Symbols, all were completely sealed under the gate.
The fourteen Golden Core cultivators' divine techniques were like fireflies before this power, crushed to dust in an instant.
One by one, the treasures fell from above the sky as their spiritual light dimmed, the river of divine techniques collapsed, and chaotic rules disrupted the local heaven and earth.
Even the three major Earth Fiend Divine Techniques perished in a moment.
The Earth Dragon turned to mud, the phantom of the divine mountain collapsed, the space-tearing Nine Heaven Evil Winds dissipated quietly, and even the star river resembling the Milky Way's waters broke apart at this moment.
The fourteen Golden Core cultivators fell back into the sea of flames, only Lu Yan stood high above, overlooking all living beings.
