After flying for a long time, seeing over 100,000 patrol soldiers, Jason and his men finally arrived at their destination.
This is a large canyon not far from Dragon Path, and the canyon is shrouded in mist.
"It's the canyon again. Do I have such a strong connection with canyons?" Veronica exclaimed.
From Mist Canyon to Bloodshadow Valley, they were also thrown into a canyon when they first arrived in the Infernal Realm.
During the descent, small buildings could be vaguely seen through the misty fog.
"This is home to your Yulan lineage, as well as several other branch lineages," the patrol captain said. "The total population living in this canyon exceeds ten thousand."
Upon landing on the flat ground of the canyon, the patrol captain extended his divine sense and informed the people inside.
"Wharton!" a surprised voice called out, followed by Linley's figure.
Then a dozen or so figures flew over at Extreme Speed. Among them were Delia and Bebe, whom Jason recognized, and some others he didn't recognize, who were probably Baruch and his group.
"Sister Monica!" Bebe flew over excitedly. Compared to Wharton, Bebe was much closer to Monica.
Veronica grabbed Jason's hand and stared at the group of people behind them.
Jason squeezed his wife's hand tightly. "So many years have passed, all those people from back then are gone, let's put aside things from our childhood."
Veronica nodded slightly. "He's Baruch? The founder of my Baruch Clan?"
The patrol leader smiled and said, "Looks like I was right. I'll be going now."
The group said in unison, "Thank you, sir."
"From the Yulan Continent? Another batch?" Baruch couldn't hide his joy.
Baruch composed himself and said, "Welcome home, children."
The Baruch Clan was thrilled when two groups of descendants returned, surrounding them with questions.
Jason temporarily separated from his wife and daughter and went to Olivier's side.
Yes, Olivier is here too. Because of Jason's arrival, O'Brien and the others were killed, and Dylan and Tarosse are now with the Rhine Clan. Only Olivier still encounters Linley.
"I didn't expect to meet you here," Jason said kindly.
"Lord Jason, it's been a long time." Olivier still retained her inherent arrogance, but she was much more peaceful and reserved than she had been on the Yulan Continent.
"Tell me about what's happened over the years?" Jason asked.
Olivier gave a brief description.
His solo journey to the Infernal Realm remained unchanged until he was trapped in the Zijing Mountains, where he encountered Linley. Just like in the original story, he was sucked into the depths of the Zijing Mountains, where he unexpectedly gained a batch of Amethyst.
After that, they headed to the Blood Peak Continent, encountering some minor and major dangers. During their time on Miluo Island, they were attacked, but this time it had nothing to do with Cesar. Someone was trying to capture Olivier. The reason for their escape wasn't because of Linley's Blackstone Space, but because Bebe revealed his Divine Spark Weapon. Beirut's name was even more effective than Leisjing.
"That's roughly it." Olivier gave a wry smile. "Lord Jason warned me about those on the enemy side who coveted my talent, but I didn't pay attention. Alas, I was too naive."
"Linley has the strength of Seven Star Fiend?" Jason feigned ignorance.
"Yeah, I've fallen behind him. Back in the day, we were evenly matched."
Jason stared at Olivier: "Have you achieved a fusion of your light and darkness Profound Mysteries?"
The other party chuckled lightly, "I will heed your suggestion, sir. My Elemental Light and Elemental Darkness have already fused to half their original state."
"Keep it up. The fact that the powerful figure on Miluo Island values you so much proves your talent. As long as you can completely fuse the two aspects of light and Profound Mysteries, you'll reach Asura strength. Currently, your potential is even greater than Linley's," Jason comforted him.
"Thank you for your guidance." Olivier shifted her gaze and glanced briefly in Monica's direction.
Jason noticed the other person's actions but didn't react.
A small banquet was held in the canyon, lasting for a full day and night.
During this time, Jason learned that the recent ancestral hall baptism had not yet begun, and it would be about thirty years from now.
Jason felt that Veronica and Monica should be quite safe here, and planned to deal with the Rhine Clan's affairs first.
But before that, I need to spar with Linley.
Jason said to Linley, "You're already Seven Star Fiend in less than five hundred years. Your talent far surpasses mine."
"I was just lucky. Uncle Jason has been working hard for a long time, and he'll leave me behind again sooner or later." Having reached the Seven Star Fiend level, Linley finally stopped addressing Jason as "Sir."
The two did not make a fuss about being Seven Star Fiend, but people from several branches around them still came to watch, after all, Linley had "dominated" this canyon for decades.
Jason continued to use the Blood Blade "Weeping Blood" and the Gloves "Wheel of Suffering"; while Linley used his Dragon Transformation form and did not use any weapons.
Jason went straight for Linley, slashing at him; Linley's body, Dragon Transformation and possessing the qualities of Highgod Artifact, steadily blocked Jason's Blood Blade.
Both were at the initial stage of Seven Star Fiend strength, but neither was actually good at physical attacks. Jason's two Highgod avatars were more focused on the soul; Linley, although physically powerful, lacked offensive capabilities before he developed the "Voidwave Sword".
The two separated immediately after their initial contact. Jason had mainly used soul attacks, which obviously couldn't break the Coiling Dragon Ring. He currently lacked the ability to actively seek out weaknesses in the soul. As for Linley, Jason estimated that his physical attacks were at most at the level of Six-Star Fiend.
Linley's Blackstone Space enveloped him, but he didn't immediately establish a "castle form." He relied solely on his powerful and flexible repulsive force combined with his fist and claw attacks. When "Arc Flash" appeared, Jason launched a swift attack using the lightning he had placed around him, completely unaffected by gravity. Linley hadn't expected Jason to have this skill and failed to cut the arc of electricity immediately. Jason circled behind him, and Linley's dragon tail hurriedly returned to help, only to be slashed in the back by Jason's blade.
Linley, in pain, quickly transformed his Blackstone Space form, and the Black Castle materialized; Jason's electric arc was severed, forcing him to reveal himself and land inside the Black Castle.
"This skill really counters me! It's truly a gift from the Sovereign, with wide applicability," Jason exclaimed.
Although the original work states that the Amethyst Space is Leisjing's innate talent, how could the Amethyst Sovereign not know it?
Feeling the soul attacks in his sea of consciousness like gusts of cold wind. "The soul attacks from the black stone cannot break the Ink Soul. And if I rely solely on my soul, I should be able to stay conscious for about ten minutes. After that, I will become sluggish until I lose consciousness."
Linley sighed inwardly, "Since learning about this Blackstone Space, this is the first time I've encountered a powerful individual who can evade both the repulsive and attracting forces. It seems I can't rely too much on this Blackstone Space."
Having said that, he merged into the wall beside him and stealthily moved toward Jason's location.
Jason tried attacking the side wall and was able to break through, but unfortunately, without being able to use Arc Flash, he couldn't avoid the ever-changing repulsive and attractive forces, and naturally, he couldn't find the right direction to open up this space.
"If someone is a seven-star Earth Element Seven Star Fiend specializing in Earth Travel Technique, could they merge into this black wall to avoid the combined forces of repulsion and attraction?"
A slight energy fluctuation came from the side, indicating that Linley's Earth Travel Technique was not yet advanced enough to evade the Seven Star Fiend's perception.
Linley's dragon claws came at Jason, who met them with his glove Wheel of Suffering.
Without his Water Clone, Jason's physical defense is also weak, and he currently relies heavily on the "deflection" ability of his Fate Clone.
However, Jason did not try to deflect Linley's attack, but instead met it head-on.
In the instantaneous exchange of strength, Linley had the upper hand; while Jason gripped the ground with both feet, like a bamboo pole, slightly bent over, and then rebounded with an even stronger force.
Linley didn't expect Jason to be able to counterattack so quickly after he had exhausted his strength. He was sent flying by the force of Jason's rebound and crashed into the wall before quickly escaping.
This was a move Jason developed after observing the Green Tree Tribe chief's ultimate technique. In reality, the move wasn't difficult; Jason happened to have a similar understanding of the Life Law to the other party, so he developed it easily.
Currently, Jason can only reflect about 80% of the opponent's attack force, and the upper limit is relatively low. He also has the disadvantage of needing to stand still on the ground and being unable to move.
However, it was just right to restrain this Blackstone Space.
If Linley were empowered by both repulsive and attractive forces, his attack power could reach the level of Seven Star Fiend. However, within this black castle, the repulsive and attractive forces cannot be used, and Jason is not afraid of soul interference, so Linley's attacks pose no threat to him at all.
After being repeatedly repelled by the rebounds, Linley's black space dissipated.
Linley sighed, "Uncle Jason, I admit defeat. The Blackstone Space is ineffective against your Lightning Element movement style, and I can't defeat you inside the Black Castle."
Jason wasn't modest. "After all, you're still Midgod, with a lot of potential."
The next day, Jason, Bessalie, Freya left the Skyrite Mountains and flew towards the Rhine Clan.
The Azure Dragon Clan's ancestral hall baptism is still decades away, so Jason didn't bring Veronica and the others. The interior of the Skyrite Mountains is very safe, so Jason doesn't need to worry.
