The Four Lineages' Martial Competition (IV)

In the center of the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, the Eternal Battle Platform floated in the void, where four Void Emanation Realm stood, their Daoist auras subdued across the heavens. As the rules of the Grand Competition were fully proclaimed, the clamor of the entire graveyard gradually subsided, and hundreds of millions of cultivators held their breath, all their gazes traversing layers of void, focusing intently on the residences of the Lineage.

Everyone knew perfectly well that the grandest battle between the four races in the Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain was about to begin.

The twenty prodigies who have entered the fray represent the Ultimate of the new generation of the four Ancient Clan. Their duel is not only about their own honor and disgrace, or their ranking among their peers, but will also shake the future eternal order of the four clans, determining the hierarchy and territorial discourse power of the clans for countless eras.

Above the sky, Nangong Xingyun's gaze was calm as he took the lead in assuming the power of declaring his name. His eyes fell on the Shangguan Lineage's camp, and his vast Daoist voice swept across the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard, penetrating through layers of dimensional barriers.

"The Shangguan Lineage's participating prodigies, one by one, ascend the stage!" Ancient Dao patterns flowed through the void light curtain, and ancient names appeared one by one.

"Shangguan Anyu!" A tall, slender figure stepped forward, his dark blue ancient robe accentuating his upright posture. His long hair was tied up with a crown, and his brows concealed a sharp edge. His steps were light and airy, each step causing slight ripples in the surrounding space. His Dao foundation was condensed and pure, and his control over his own origin had reached its peak. His expression was calm and composed as he stepped into the Shangguan Lineage's exclusive battle zone, standing quietly awaiting orders.

The onlookers immediately began whispering amongst themselves. "It's Shangguan Anyu! The core genius of the Shangguan Lineage, consistently ranking among the top of his generation!" "His foundation at the Eternal Silence Initial Stage has been solid for many years. He mainly cultivates the Void Dao, and his movement techniques are unpredictable, making him extremely difficult to lock onto!" "The Shangguan Lineage has fielded their main force right from the start; their lineup is truly formidable."

The tone remained unchanged as Nangong Xingyun continued reading, "Shangguan Haoqian!"

A young man in silver armor stepped forward slowly. His eyebrows were like swords, his face was cold and stern, and an ancient blade hung heavily at his waist, exuding a chilling and murderous aura. He did not release any pressure, but the sharp aura that came from the Ultimate source of the sword technique had already made many cultivators around him tense.

"Shangguan Haoqian's swordsmanship is the purest among the younger generation of the Shangguan Lineage!" "In duels between people of the same cultivation level, very few can withstand his strikes head-on!" "This man is decisive in killing; he is a true ruthless warrior on the battlefield."

"Shangguan Jiayan!" The handsome young man in black robes walked out calmly, his temperament as gentle as the wind, with a faint smile on his lips, seemingly humble and harmless. But the moment he stood in the war zone, the eyes of many veteran elders narrowed, seeing through his appearance to the profound depth beneath.

"Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance!" "Shangguan Jiayan is a master of patience and scheming, his Fate Soul is strong, he grows stronger with each battle, and he is extremely difficult to deal with!" "His smile hides his murderous intent; this is the most terrifying opponent."

"Shangguan Mobai!" The white-haired youth silently stepped out of the formation. His long silver hair was a natural product of his Source Dao charm, not the result of the vicissitudes of time. His eyes were like still pools of cold water, all emotions were suppressed, and all thoughts were silent. His whole body was terrifyingly quiet, like a peerless cold blade that had been sealed for thousands of years, hiding its supreme sharpness.

"Shangguan Mobai of the Dao, is ruthless and possesses an unwavering and flawless Dao heart!" "When he strikes, it is always a fatal blow, leaving no room for future trouble!" "Among his peers, very few can force him to fight at full strength."

Nangong Xingyun paused slightly, his voice becoming more solemn, resounding throughout the heavens. "The Shangguan Lineage's external ally, Lu Qi'an!"

A figure in a black and gold robe stepped out from the air. He was young, with a handsome face, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss. His Dao aura was detached and otherworldly, completely different from the orthodox bloodline of the Shangguan Lineage, carrying the arrogance and sharpness unique to powerful beings from beyond the realm. He took his place on the platform with composure and openness, without the slightest bit of unease, clearly having absolute confidence in his own combat strength.

"It's actually Lu Qi'an, a powerful figure from the Origin Clan! Rumor has it he's traversed countless dimensions with an impressive record!" "The Shangguan Lineage spared no expense in hiring outside help; they're clearly aiming for the top spot in this competition!" "With this formidable figure in charge, the Shangguan Lineage's competitiveness has instantly increased several times over!"

At this point, all five prodigies of the Shangguan Lineage had returned to their positions. The five Eternal Silence Initial Stage realm intertwined and flowed, creating a formidable lineup that secretly alarmed all the cultivators present.

With Shangguan Lineage Jiaxuan's name removed, Nalan Yanqing took over, his clear and cold Daoist voice like a cold spring from the heavens, resounding throughout the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard.

"The Chi Lineage's participating prodigies, one by one, ascend the stage!"

"Chi Junxuan!" The young man in the blue-patterned ancient robe stepped forward. The Source Dao patterns of the Chi Lineage flowed faintly between the hem of his robe. His face was resolute and his demeanor was dignified. Every move he made showed the style of a direct descendant of a great clan. He steadily ascended to the battlefield and stood still.

"Chi Junxuan has a solid foundation, a steady fighting style, and rarely makes mistakes. He is the Chi Lineage's most reliable trump card! He has maintained his cultivation level at the same realm for many years, and his prowess in prolonged battles and attrition warfare is top-notch."

"Chi Yufeng!" The gentle and refined young man slowly stepped onto the stage, his features humble and his temperament like jade, seemingly peaceful and unassuming. But the moment he stood on the battlefield, the essence of his Fate Soul quietly surged within him, and a powerful force as heavy as a mountain slowly spread out.

"Chi Yufeng is always low-key, but he actually has extremely deep foundations! This person's origins are incredibly profound, and his combat power grows stronger as he progresses, making him the most difficult to deal with."

"Chi Yi'an!" The resolute man stepped forward, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his face firm, and his eyes resolute. Without any deliberate effort, his quiet presence exuded an aura of unwavering strength and indomitable spirit.

"The toughest backbone of the Chi Lineage's new generation! They specialize in fighting tough and fierce battles, possess unwavering resolve, and never flinch in battle!"

"Chi Mulin!" A woman in a light blue dress walked out gracefully, her black hair loosely tied up. Her appearance was delicate and Wenwan, with soft and charming eyes. But upon closer inspection, one could see the sharp edge hidden in her eyes, honed by countless battles. Beneath her Wenwan exterior lay the solid foundation of an elite warrior from the Eternal Silence Realm.

"Chi Mulin is the number one female prodigy of the new generation of the Chi Lineage! She may appear delicate, but she is actually decisive in battle, well-balanced in offense and defense, and possesses exceptional talent!"

Finally, Nalan Yanqing's gaze sharpened slightly, and he spoke clearly, his words echoing throughout the surrounding area. "The Chi Lineage's reinforcement, Qin Yu!"

The moment that name was uttered, the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard was instantly thrown into turmoil! Hundreds of millions of eyes focused on the Chi Lineage's camp, countless cultivators were shaken, and discussions surged like a tide.

"Is he the mysterious outsider Qin Yu who stirred up trouble among the four clans?" "Rumor has it that he, with only the Eternal Silence Initial Stage cultivation, defied the odds and defeated an Eternal Silence -Supreme Silence expert! Such a feat of defying the odds is rare throughout history!" "Many previous clan conflicts were caused by him, and today we will finally witness his combat prowess firsthand!" If the rumors are true, he is the biggest dark horse and variable in this competition!

Amidst the intense anticipation and the boiling excitement of the crowd, Qin Yu slowly stepped out of the ranks. Clad in a simple black ancient robe, his posture was upright and dignified, his face calm and composed, neither ostentatious nor boastful, nor revealing his sharp edge. His steps were steady and measured, each step landing in accordance with the workings of heaven and earth. He calmly landed in the Chi Lineage's battle zone, raised his eyes to look at the central Eternal Battle Platform, his mind clear and undisturbed, unmoved by the clamor of the world.

With the Chi Lineage's lineup finalized, Murong Yunche, his gaze indifferent, took over the decree in the sky, his clear and cold voice overwhelming the surrounding area.

"The Hua Lineage's elite warriors, one by one, ascend the stage!"

"Hua Yiyun!" A woman in a white and purple dress gracefully stepped forward, her beauty ethereal and otherworldly, her figure slender and graceful. Her Fate Soul essence was like a profusion of flowers, her Daoist charm lively and transcendent, yet she possessed no trace of weakness, exuding an aloof and fierce pride.

"Hua Yiyun is an unparalleled female prodigy of the Hua Lineage, having mastered the essence of the Flower Dao!" She excels in both offense and defense, possessing talent surpassing all her peers, making her an absolute top-tier combatant among female cultivators!

"Hua Jingmeng!" The handsome young man in black robes silently stepped onto the stage, his eyes dark and deep, his aura completely concealed, hiding his sharpness and killing intent, making it impossible for anyone to fathom his true strength.

"This person is extremely enigmatic, skilled in stealthy assassinations and swift, deadly strikes! He leaves no openings from beginning to end, making him the most unpredictable opponent. It's said that after his sister Hua Feiting Annihilation, he cultivated frantically, determined to avenge her. Now he has reached the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage—truly remarkable!"

"Hua Luoyuan!" The tall, slender young man stepped forward with a smile, his sharp features and casual, carefree smile revealing Ultimate, aggressive fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"This person is a born, ferocious warrior!" "Once the battle begins, his attacks are like a storm, ruthless and merciless, crushing countless of his peers!"

"Hua Xizhi!" A woman in a silver-white dress appeared in the airspace, exuding a cold and aloof temperament. Her eyes were like ancient ice crystals, devoid of any worldly emotions, and her Dao heart was as firm as an abyss.

"Hua Xizhi cultivates the ruthless path, unmoved by the seven emotions, her fighting spirit is pure!" With no flaws in her mind and no weaknesses in her battle, she is extremely difficult to deal with.

Murong Yunche's tone shifted slightly as he slowly uttered, "The Hua Lineage's external aid Jiang Hanning!"

A graceful figure emerged on the wind, her long hair flowing in the breeze. Her aura was ethereal and otherworldly, her Daoist principles distinct from the Hua Lineage's lineage, possessing the unique temperament of a prodigy from beyond the realm. She stood calmly and composed within the Hua Lineage's ranks, without the slightest hint of awkwardness or discomfort.

"The Hua Lineage also has aid from beyond the realm! She is the prodigy of the Hongmeng Realm Clan?! This year's competition is indeed a gathering of stars, full of unexpected changes!"

All five members of the Hua Lineage returned to their positions, and the tense atmosphere of the four-way confrontation grew even stronger, with undercurrents surging and an invisible struggle permeating the entire arena.

Finally, Xuanyuan Canglan's deep and resonant Daoist voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, wielding the final power to proclaim his name.

"The Ju Lineage's elite warriors, one by one, take the stage!"

"Ju Gongchen!" The man stepped forward, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his gaze calm and resolute, his demeanor dignified and upright.

"Ju Gongchen is well-rounded in both offense and defense, and possesses a calm and composed temperament, making him a key player in the Ju Lineage."

"Ju Mohan!" The young man's face was cold and stern, his body radiating a chilling aura, a fierce and murderous aura that was extremely intimidating. "Cold Dao cultivators are the most cunning and difficult to deal with; their attacks are bone-chilling and extremely hard to resist."

"Ju Zhenyue!" The woman in the ancient dress walked out slowly, her eyes and brows Leng Jue, and her temperament was quiet and elegant.

"Ju Ruoli!" The woman had a gentle and Wenwan demeanor, but her Fate Soul was solid and profound, indicating that she was not as simple as she appeared.

"Ju Miaoting!" The last woman calmly stepped onto the stage, her expression serene, standing steadily in the formation.

Everyone present murmured as they saw it clearly. "The five members of the Ju Lineage are all direct descendants of the clan, without any outside help. They are competing purely based on their clan's strength. This confidence should not be underestimated." However, compared to the other three families who have the support of outsiders, the Ju Lineage the greatest pressure in this competition.

At this point, all twenty of the Lineage had participated in the battle had taken their places on the stage.

Above the four sections of the Eternal Battle Platform, the Chi Lineage, Hua Lineage, Ju Lineage, and Shangguan Lineage stood facing each other, their powerful auras at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage intertwining and colliding across the void, their sharp edges and hidden currents sweeping across the entire space.

Even without a direct confrontation, the atmosphere was already tense. Outside the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, billions of cultivators held their breath, their eyes burning with intensity and their minds on edge. Everyone knew that the epic battle between the four races, a conflict that had been built up over countless ages, was about to begin with the first round of draws!
