Chapter 232: Perfect Hunt

The many powerful beings watching the scene inside the deathmatch arena looked on with great interest.

Long Zhan, Mute, Li Yang, and the others possessed strength that made them invincible within the Longevity Realm. In the previous selection for the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, any one of them could have easily taken first place. No matter how poorly they performed in a deathmatch, they would still be earmarked for special cultivation by the Eternal Saint Hall.

Things like practical combat experience could be honed and improved over time. But Talent and the comprehension of Laws were innate gifts that could not be cultivated from scratch.

When comparing the two, Talent naturally weighed far more heavily.

The five, including Long Zhan, would be given special attention. But Lan Yu was on another level—a peerless genius the likes of which the Human Race only saw once every few hundred million years.

And now, these five were joining forces to take on Lan Yu?

"I wonder who will win?"

"It has to be Lan Yu. In terms of raw power, he could undoubtedly crush them in an instant."

"I wouldn’t be so sure. Long Zhan and the others must know how strong Lan Yu is. If they still dare to team up against him, they must have some confidence. Maybe they’re hiding a trump card."

"Right, I also think they have a trump card."

"Whether they do or not, all we have to do is watch."

The powerful beings watched on, their interest piqued.

Within the deathmatch arena, a handsome young man with a faint blue tint to his skin was walking along.

"Hm?"

The young man arrived at a certain spot and suddenly looked ahead.

There, five people were watching him.

Lan Yu didn’t back down. With his power, he looked down on everyone except Mixed Void. No one could force him to retreat.

"Haha, Lan Yu! What a coincidence, running into you here," Mute boomed with a laugh.

"You’re in my way." Lan Yu glanced at Mute and gestured to the path before him.

They were flanked by two lakes, with only a single path running between them.

A peerless genius like Lan Yu would never take a detour just because Li Yang and the others were blocking his path.

"Lan Yu, if you want to pass, just walk on through. We’re not stopping you," Mute said with a casual smile.

At his words, a defiant smirk touched the corners of Lan Yu’s mouth. "Fine," he said.

He seemed to understand what Mute and the others were planning.

However, he wasn’t worried in the slightest. This was the absolute confidence he had in his own power!

He advanced step by step, and Li Yang watched him.

Clearly, there was danger lurking within the lakes.

According to Mute, the lakes were filled with vines that would emerge and attack if they sensed fluctuations of Laws nearby.

However, they only attacked the strongest individual.

’It’s time,’ Li Yang thought.

Battle intent surged within him!

This was the Human Race’s peerless genius, a talent seen only once every few hundred million years. Of course he wanted to test his mettle against him!

He watched Lan Yu walk to the center of the path between the lakes, calculating the perfect moment to strike.

One step, two steps...

Just as Lan Yu was about to take another step forward.

"Now!"

Mute suddenly gave the command.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The auras of Li Yang and the other four erupted completely, unleashing the full might of their invincible Longevity Realm power!

After unleashing their power, Mute immediately struck the lake.

SPLASH!

Instantly, countless vines shot out from the lake with astonishing speed. They completely ignored Mute and the others, locking directly onto Lan Yu and lunging toward him!

These were vines with immense binding power, their strength fully at the level of the Star Lord Realm, and they exerted immense suppressive force.

However, the vines wouldn’t kill their target, only restrain them.

Mute had encountered them before and had spent a good deal of time struggling to break free.

As the vines shot forward, Mute and the others launched their own attacks.

Mute swung the battle saber in his hand, a weapon even larger than himself, unleashing a colossal blade of light that pulsed with terrifying power!

Long Zhan, ranked third, wore an icy expression. The void around him seemed to darken instantly as shadows spread out. From within the gloom, a flash of light shot from his black staff, striking as fast as lightning!

The Dark Law! This was the Law that Long Zhan had comprehended! He had already mastered one of its profundities, the Dark Domain, to an extremely high degree! He had even comprehended a second profundity of the Dark Law—Corrosion!

When unleashed, his Dark Law was enough to strike terror into anyone’s heart!

As the darkness spread, an extreme chill emanated from the prodigious young woman, Yun Rou. She held a longbow in her hands, upon which a pale blue arrow materialized.

The arrow flew forth, and the very void around it seemed to freeze solid!

One of the four great profundities of the Water Element Law—the Freezing Profundity!

If this profundity were fully mastered, it could even freeze the void itself!

The Water Element Law Yun Rou comprehended was one of extreme cold, whereas Huo Lie had comprehended its complete opposite: the Fire Element Law!

He wielded a longsword, and with a swing, a roaring fire dragon lunged straight for Lan Yu!

Finally, Li Yang brandished his white spear, fully activating the third form of his Hexagram Spear! Simultaneously, illusory copies of him appeared one after another, each one unleashing a spear light that filled the void, seeming to form a great net...

In an instant, all their attacks converged on Lan Yu!

The battle erupted in a flash. As the suppressive vines shot out, the attacks from Li Yang, Long Zhan, Mute, and the others followed right behind!

According to their plan, the very instant the vines restrained Lan Yu, he would be forced to endure the full brunt of their combined assault!

Against Lan Yu, a man capable of defeating opponents whose combined strength reached the Star Lord Realm, none of them dared to be careless. They unleashed their strongest abilities from the very beginning!

"Long Zhan, Mute, Li Yang, and the others have made their move."

"They’re using those vines from the lake—the ones with restraining power at the Star Lord Realm level!"

"And they’re being decisive, not holding anything back at all! They’ve unleashed their full power!"

"Will their combined attack be enough to eliminate Lan Yu?"

"If Lan Yu is only two or three times stronger than they are, they might actually succeed."

At that moment, the gazes of many powerful beings were fixed on the battle, watching to see if the combined efforts of Li Yang and the others could defeat Lan Yu—the peerless genius who appeared only once in hundreds of millions of years!

"Haha, a perfect strike!" Back in the arena, a glint of excitement appeared in Mute’s eyes.

Just as they had anticipated, the vines reached Lan Yu in an instant and began to coil around him.

Following this trajectory, Lan Yu would be restrained just as their attacks landed.

And yet, Lan Yu seemed not to have reacted at all, standing there as if stunned.

Because the five of them had planned it in advance, they had launched their attacks separately, but they all converged in front of Lan Yu in near-perfect synchronization.

While this wasn’t enough to quintuple their power, their combined attack was at least three times stronger than any of their individual efforts!

A strike of this magnitude was powerful enough to reach the Star Lord Realm!
