Lu Ye hadn't used his full strength before for two reasons. First, he was on guard against the tattoos that the opponent hadn't used yet. Second, he wanted to test the strength of the top twenty cultivators. Now that he had probed the opponent's strength, he knew that the tattoos were fake. Naturally, he didn't need to hold back.
He squatted down slightly and pointed his saber at an angle. With the support of the Wind Travel Spirit Tattoo, he rushed forward like a bolt of lightning.
As if sensing Lu Ye's killing intent, the Yao cultivator hurriedly opened his mouth. "I …"
"Roar!" Hu Po, who hadn't made a move until now, roared. However, the Soul Absorbing Tiger's Roar, which had always been successful, didn't play its role this time.
The Yao cultivator only suffered an extremely short impact before returning to normal and hurriedly admitting defeat.
Lu Ye had already rushed in front of him and brushed past him. His Mountain Saber was supported by the Dual Sharpness Spirit Tattoo as it slashed at the Yao cultivator's neck.
However, before that, an invisible layer of protection had enveloped the Yao cultivator's body. The saber didn't cause any damage to him.
It was the protection of Heaven's Secret!
The Yao cultivator touched his neck in horror. His figure quickly faded and he immediately left the arena.
"Did you let him escape?" Yiyi revealed herself.
Lu Ye nodded slightly.
In fact, after his battle with Zhuo Jianchen, he had already realized this problem. The higher the ranking of the cultivators, the stronger their resistance to Hu Po's Roar and the harder it was to kill them.
In fact, Zhuo Jianchen had only been a step slower. The moment Lu Ye chopped off his head, he shouted out the words "admit defeat".
This Yao cultivator was ranked seventeenth, a full seventeen ranks higher than Zhuo Jianchen. Naturally, he was stronger than Zhuo Jianchen. He hadn't completely resisted Hu Po's Tiger's Roar and had only been slightly affected.
"Do you need my help in the next battle?" Yiyi asked.
"Okay!"
Lu Ye had been challenging the Spirit Stream List for the past few days, so he had a clear understanding of his own strength. With his current strength, defeating the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators wasn't too difficult. However, if he wanted to challenge higher ranks, it would be difficult to kill them.
If Yiyi could make a move at the right time, it would undoubtedly be a safety measure.
After returning to the wooden house, Lu Ye rested for a moment before starting the next battle!
At the same time, those from the Myriad Demon Ridge finally figured out the source of Lu Ye's power. His pet beast's roar could impact one's Divine Soul, so the Myriad Demon Ridge experts he had challenged before didn't even have the chance to admit defeat.
It wasn't until the demon cultivator who was originally ranked 17th luckily survived Lu Yiye's attack that he passed on this important information.
With the experience of this demonic cultivator, the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators ranked above him were no longer afraid. They were confident that they were not inferior to that demonic cultivator. If that demonic cultivator could survive against Lu Yiye, then they could too.
However, the result shocked everyone.
In the next few battles, the three Myriad Demon Ridge experts ranked 16th, 14th, and 11th were all killed by Lu Yiye in the arena. None of them were spared.
It should be noted that the powerful warriors of the Demons Ridge who were ranked at this position were all from First-rank Sects. In the future, they would all have a great chance of reaching the Divine Sea Realm.
Being killed by Lu Yiye just like that made the experts of the other sects sigh with regret. It also intensified the hatred of the Myriad Devil Ridge towards Lu Yiye.
They couldn't understand why the Demonic cultivator ranked 17th could survive, but the other three who were ranked higher had all died.
After all, no one alive had seen Yiyi fight in the arena. Everyone who had seen it was already dead. With Yiyi secretly cooperating with them and using her magical techniques at critical moments, even if the Myriad Devil Ridge experts could block Hu Po's Tiger Roar, they would not be able to escape death.
At this point, the Jade Blood Sect's Lu Yiye was ranked 11th on the Spirit Stream List. He only needed to move up one more place to enter the top ten.
On the Spirit Stream List, the 50th place was a watershed, the 30th place was another watershed, and the 10th place was yet another watershed. The difference in strength between cultivators before and after each watershed was very obvious.
If Lu Yiye could really enter the top ten of the Spirit Stream List, that would mean he had the qualifications to enter the strongest echelon of the Spirit Stream Realm.
The last person to enter the top ten with a Heaven Eight cultivation base was Li Baxian!
However, Li Baxian's situation was special. He originally had a Heaven Nine cultivation base, but his spiritual cavities had been destroyed, causing his cultivation base to drop. He was different from Lu Yiye. If Lu Yiye could enter the top ten, then he would truly be a member of the strongest echelon of the Spirit Stream Realm with a Heaven Eight cultivation base.
However, everyone knew that if he wanted to challenge someone, he would definitely not challenge the 10th place, because the 10th place belonged to the Grand Heaven Alliance. His next target would be the 9th place Ghost Shadow!
Everyone was waiting to see if the top ten cultivators could stop Lu Yiye's advance.
However, at this critical moment, Lu Yiye suddenly stopped fighting. After half a day, there were no changes on the Spirit Stream List. Someone sent a message to Ghost Shadow, but Ghost Shadow said he hadn't received any news of a challenge.
This caused the Myriad Devil Ridge to breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, worry rose in their hearts.
Lu Yiye obviously wouldn't stop fighting. Since there was no movement, it was clear that he was recuperating and preparing to challenge the top ten in his best condition.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Ever since he had started fighting, Lu Yiye hadn't rested at all.
The top ten cultivators on the ranking board were already the strongest echelons of the Spirit Stream Tier, so he naturally had to be in his best condition to face them. The strength of cultivators was not only determined by their cultivation level, but also the state of their body during battle and their ability to react on the spot.
In the small courtyard outside the wooden house, Hua Ci had made many strange dishes. Lu Yiye didn't refuse any of them and enjoyed them to his heart's content.
No matter what the ingredients were, they were all incomparably delicious.
However, if one didn't have powerful detoxification methods, they wouldn't be able to enjoy Hua Ci's hospitality.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lu Yiye lay down on a chair and suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Hua Ci. "You're not going to challenge the Spirit Stream List?"
Although he didn't know how strong Hua Ci was now, or what kind of ridiculous methods she had to kill her enemies, from the fact that she had come here alone and killed so many Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators, this woman's strength couldn't be underestimated.
If he faced her, he might not even know how he died. If he had to choose between Hua Ci and the first place on the Spirit Stream List, he would choose the first place without hesitation.
Hua Ci currently had the strength to fight on the list.
"There's no rush." Hua Ci replied casually as she helped Yiyi clean up the dishes. "My cultivation is still lacking. Let's wait until I reach the ninth heaven."
"How much are you lacking?" Lu Yiye asked casually.
"Twenty or thirty spiritual apertures?" Hua Ci pursed her lips and smiled, then turned and left.
The corners of Lu Yiye's eyes twitched.
He had discovered that Hua Ci's cultivation had been increasing at an unimaginable speed since they had come to the Myriad Poisons Forest. In the past, his cultivation had been higher than Hua Ci's, but now, although they were both at the eighth heaven, the number of apertures Hua Ci had opened was higher than his.
Although this was related to the fact that he had been busy fighting on the list recently and hadn't spent much time on cultivation, Lu Yiye estimated that even if he cultivated with all his strength, he might not be able to catch up to her.
What kind of inheritance did this woman get?
After recuperating for a day, Lu Yiye adjusted his body to its peak state. His mind connected to the Spirit Stream List, and he issued a challenge to Ghost Shadow, who was ranked ninth.
Ghost Shadow accepted the challenge, and a moment later, Heaven's Secret descended.
In a battlefield that covered an area of more than ten miles, there were large trees and lush vegetation. It was the terrain of a dense forest.
This place was somewhat similar to the Hidden Fog Mountain, and was very suitable for hiding.
Ghost Shadow was called Ghost Shadow, and if there were no surprises, he should be a ghost cultivator. Therefore, when he saw the terrain that Ghost Shadow had chosen, Lu Yiye wasn't surprised at all.
Yiyi had already set off to search for traces of Ghost Shadow. Lu Yiye didn't move, but found a clean place and sat down cross-legged. He took out a few spiritual pills and threw them into his mouth, then took out a book from his storage bag …
Time passed, and even though Yiyi had carefully searched the entire battlefield several times, she didn't find anything.
It was as if Ghost Shadow had disappeared into thin air.
As for Lu Yiye, he had been cultivating and reading, and hadn't encountered any attacks.
In the previous challenges, Lu Yiye had come into contact with some ghost cultivators. However, those ghost cultivators had all hidden themselves first, then found an opportunity to sneak up on Lu Yiye and launch an attack, hoping to kill him in one blow.
Ghost cultivators who had such thoughts and acted on them usually died very quickly.
The ghost cultivator that Lu Yiye had encountered this time seemed a little different. He had hidden himself, and even Yiyi couldn't find any traces of him, let alone act rashly to get close to Lu Yiye.
However, Lu Yiye was certain that Ghost Shadow was secretly observing him from not too far away, because his powerful perception could feel that he was being watched.
As for where Ghost Shadow was … it was difficult to determine.
Ghost Shadow was clinging to a tree branch a few dozen feet away from Lu Yiye, like a ghost, quietly watching Lu Yiye's figure.
In this battle arena, the other party actually assumed the posture of reading a book peacefully, turning page after page in an orderly manner. This was clearly an attempt to draw him closer.
As a ghost cultivator ranked at the top of the Spirit Stream List, Lu Yiye was currently the strongest ghost cultivator in the Spirit Stream Realm. How could he be so easily fooled?
Outstanding ghost cultivators had to be able to endure loneliness, and wait for the moment when their enemies revealed their true weakness. That was when they would bare their fangs.
Time slowly passed, and countless cultivators outside were waiting for the results of the battle. However, as the two sides of the battle, one was calmly reading a book and cultivating, while the other was patiently waiting, there wasn't even a single sound in the huge battlefield.
The sky slowly darkened, and Lu Yiye was a little surprised.
He had never stayed in the battlefield for such a long time, so he didn't know that there was night in the battlefield.
From the looks of it, the rumor that the battlefield belonged to some place in the Nine Provinces wasn't baseless. The time here, including the time in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, was the same as the time in the Nine Provinces.
Lu Yiye rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.
Lu Yiye put away the book in his hand, then took out a few pieces of beast meat from his storage bag. He threw half of it to Hu Po, then made a bonfire and roasted the other half.
This beast meat came from the Hidden Fog Mountain, and was the flesh of demonic beasts.
