Chapter 648: The Immortal Ascension Assembly Begins, Melee in the Arena

"Boom!"

A massive bell toll echoed through Ten Thousand Immortals Valley; the Immortal Ascension Assembly had officially begun.

Over a thousand cultivators surged into the center of the arena in an instant.

The moment they entered the arena, murderous intent arose everywhere.

"Kill!"

It was unknown who struck first, but a flash of sword light slashed directly at a nearby cultivator.

Fresh blood splattered; the first casualty had appeared.

This was like igniting a powder keg; the entire arena instantly fell into chaos.

All kinds of spells danced across the sky, and the sound of Magic Treasures colliding was incessant.

"Damn, this is too bloody!" Nezha was dumbfounded.

"Killing the moment they get up there—this isn't a competition, it's clearly a massacre!"

Zhang Wuji's face also turned pale: "Are these people always this ruthless when they strike?"

Hun Yuanzi said indifferently: "This is the rule of the Upper Realm."

"The weak are prey to the strong; only the fittest survive."

"Those who are soft-hearted died out long ago."

Lin Xuan stared at the slaughter on the arena, his eyes flickering with an excited glow.

The Creation Bloodline within his body was restless, as if craving battle.

"Master, I want to go down there." Lin Xuan spoke suddenly.

"What?!" Nezha was shocked.

"Are you crazy? The weakest people down there are at the Golden Core Stage!"

"You just broke through to the early Golden Core Stage; going down there is just throwing your life away!"

Zhang Wuji also hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Lin Xuan, don't be impulsive."

"We can't participate in this level of battle yet."

But Lin Xuan shook his head: "No, I can feel it; my bloodline is craving battle."

"Only in life-and-death struggles can I awaken my bloodline power faster."

Hun Yuanzi glanced at him, looking thoughtful.

"Are you sure you want to participate?"

"I am sure." Lin Xuan nodded firmly.

"Since the bloodline chose me, I cannot shrink back."

"Good." Hun Yuanzi nodded.

"Then go, but remember, do not expose your full strength."

"The people from the Blood Demon Sect are watching right there; exposing the Creation Bloodline too early will be very dangerous."

Lin Xuan nodded, his figure flashed, and he jumped directly into the arena.

As soon as he landed, three cultivators surrounded him.

"Another one here to die!"

"Early Golden Core? Haha, is this guy here for a joke?"

"Kill him!"

The three struck simultaneously, their spells bombarding Lin Xuan like a torrential downpour.

Lin Xuan was unhurried, circulating the "Chaos Creation Art".

The true essence within his body surged instantly, far exceeding the level of an early Golden Core.

"Boom!"

He threw a punch, and the attacks of the three were instantly shattered.

The powerful fist wind continued forward, blasting all three of them away.

"Pfft!"

The three spat blood in mid-air, crashed heavily to the ground, and could no longer climb back up.

"What?!"

"With early Golden Core cultivation, how could he have such power?"

"This kid is trouble!"

The surrounding cultivators were all shocked.

But even more people were attracted over, preparing to besiege Lin Xuan.

"An interesting kid."

Xue Wuhen stood in the spectator stands, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"An Awakened bloodline user? Or does he have some special technique?"

"Regardless, I must have this kid."

On the arena, Lin Xuan was already surrounded by over a dozen cultivators.

These people were all at the middle or late Golden Core Stage, and their combined power was astonishing.

"Kid, you are strong, but two fists are no match for four hands!"

"Obediently accept your death!"

The dozen or so people struck at once, their various attacks dense and overwhelming.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"Since that is the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

He formed seals with both hands, and the bloodline power within his body began to surge.

Although Hunyuanzi said not to expose his full strength, facing such a siege, he could no longer care about that much.

"Bloodline Awakening, First Layer!"

An ancient pressure radiated from Lin Xuan's body.

Those spells attacking him, upon touching this pressure, actually began to dissipate.

"What?!"

"How did my spell fail?"

"What kind of ghost thing is this?"

The dozen or so cultivators were all stunned.

But Lin Xuan did not give them time to think.

His figure flashed, and he appeared like a ghost before the nearest cultivator.

"Die!"

He struck the opponent's chest with one palm, and the powerful bloodline force instantly destroyed the opponent's internal organs.

"Pfft!"

That cultivator spat blood and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

"Run! This kid is a monster!"

The remaining cultivators finally reacted and fled desperately.

But how could Lin Xuan let them escape?

His figure flashed repeatedly, catching up to the few fleeing cultivators.

Every palm strike carried bloodline pressure, its power terrifying to the extreme.

In just a few breaths, all dozen or so cultivators fell.

Fresh blood stained the arena red, and a thick, bloody stench permeated the air.

"Hiss!"

A sound of gasping for air rose from the spectator stands.

"What is this kid's background?"

"A Golden Core early-stage can kill a Golden Core late-stage? This is unscientific!"

"He must have a special bloodline or Secret Technique!"

Su Yun's expression turned gloomy.

He had originally thought Lin Xuan was just an ordinary Ascension practitioner from the lower realm.

He did not expect him to be hiding so deeply.

"Interesting, this is truly very interesting."

The interest in Xue Wuhen's eyes grew even stronger.

"This kid must have a great secret on him."

"It seems the harvest today will be quite significant."

On the arena, Lin Xuan stood amidst a pile of corpses, bathed in blood.

But his eyes were growing brighter, and the bloodline power within his body was becoming increasingly active.

"More! I need more battle!"

A bloodthirsty impulse surged from the depths of his bloodline.

This made Lin Xuan somewhat surprised, but he did not resist it.

Instead, he actively sought out the next target.

"That kid, having killed so many people, his strength must be quite depleted, right?"

"Let's attack together and kill him!"

Another group of cultivators was attracted by Lin Xuan.

This time there were over twenty people, and their cultivation levels were generally higher.

Among them were even two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Kid, you are strong, but having killed so many people, your True Essence must be greatly depleted."

"Submit to death obediently now, and we can still leave you an intact corpse!"

The leading Nascent Soul Stage cultivator sneered.

But Lin Xuan shook his head: "Depleted? No, I feel better than ever."

"Bloodline Awakening, Second Layer!"

An even more powerful pressure erupted.

This time, even the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators felt immense pressure.

"What kind of bloodline is this? How can it have such terrifying pressure?"

"No, this is not an ordinary bloodline awakening!"

The two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

But shock was shock; since they had already made their move, there was no turning back.

"Kill!"

Over twenty people attacked simultaneously, various powerful spells booming toward Lin Xuan.

This attack was several times stronger than before, and even the space began to tremble.

But Lin Xuan did not retreat in the slightest, charging forward to meet the attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The violent sound of explosions echoed throughout the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Valley.

After the thick smoke dissipated, everyone saw a shocking scene.

Lin Xuan was still standing in the same spot; although there were many more wounds on his body, his fighting spirit remained high.

As for those twenty-some cultivators, more than half had already fallen.

The few remaining were also heavily injured and had no strength left to fight again.
