A fiery orange sphere, like a blazing sun, hung suspended in the air, bathing Lin Chen’s body in an orange glow. The low chanting of a spell was barely audible. With a series of hand gestures, a dense orange beam of fire shot out from the sun above him, heading straight for Chen Ying’er.

In the Soul Shrine contestant area, Chen Hongyu abruptly stood up, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, and muttered, “That old fox Lin Chen is really going all out! He’s using the Holy Sun Incantation right from the start.”

The Holy Sun Incantation was a powerful spell unique to Lin Chen. For many powerful individuals, as they aged and reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, it became increasingly difficult to improve. Unless they had extraordinary opportunities, they would find it hard to break through again. In this situation, to pursue greater strength, they would often focus on creating their own abilities, especially mages, as the power generated by combining different attributes of magic could vary greatly.

Lin Chen was a prime example of this. He hadn’t expected to make any breakthroughs during the Holy War, but after several near-death experiences, he actually managed to. Before this, he had been at the peak of the eighth rank for nearly forty years. For those forty years, his main focus had been on the Holy Sun Incantation. After breaking through to the ninth rank, despite not yet possessing the power of a domain, the Holy Sun Incantation reached its peak, greatly increasing his strength and making him one of the top powerhouses in the Mage Shrine.

The Holy Sun Incantation was a fusion fire created by Lin Chen by combining his male yang energy with his natal fire and spiritual power fire. Back then, Lin Xin’s father had gone mad while researching and cultivating the Holy Sun Incantation, igniting his natal fire and losing control, leading to the tragic deaths of both him and his wife due to the magical backlash.

Lin Xin had a natural hatred for the Holy Sun Incantation and refused to learn it. He even avoided cultivating any offensive magic.

Although he later decided to cultivate offensive magic for Li Xin, he still rejected the Holy Sun Incantation. Therefore, Lin Chen could be said to be the only person in the world capable of casting the Holy Sun Incantation and cultivating it to its peak.

Wherever the orange firelight passed in the air, the air twisted violently, with water-like ripples spreading outwards. The temperature in the entire Great Trial Arena suddenly rose, intensifying the rainbow glow of the protective shield.

Chen Ying’er’s expression also changed slightly. She hadn’t expected Lin Chen’s magical attack to be so fast, and its power so immense.

A crystal-clear little pig darted out from Chen Ying’er’s arms – it was Mai Dou.

Compared to before, Mai Dou had also undergone significant changes. Its size was still the same, as if it would never grow larger, but its skin was as crystal clear as crystal, and its little eyes shone like two diamonds. As its body darted out, it even left a string of crystal-clear, iridescent light in its wake.

In the air, Mai Dou stretched out its limbs, and a magical scene unfolded. The small and adorable creature instantly enlarged, transforming into a huge black dragon. It opened its mouth, and a mouthful of dark breath shot towards Lin Chen’s Holy Sun Incantation.

This… This is a Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon?

Mai Dou’s transformation shocked all the powerhouses from the six great shrines present. The Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon was a member of the Demon God Emperor’s clan! How could a summoner possess such a summoned beast? And a summoned beast released at such speed could only be a natal summoned beast!

Black and orange, two powerful forces collided fiercely in the air. A terrifying surge of spiritual power immediately spread outwards from the point of impact.

Chen Ying’er made a heart-holding gesture with both hands, and the crisp chanting of a spell echoed in the air.

The Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon’s breath was slightly at a disadvantage in the collision with the Holy Sun Incantation, but it ultimately held its ground. Mai Dou’s huge wings flapped forcefully, and it pounced towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was also surprised to see the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, but his combat experience was extremely vast. Although surprised, he didn’t panic. He pointed with his right hand, and the Holy Sun above his head radiated brightly, with a halo of orange light suddenly blossoming. It collided with Mai Dou’s rushing body.

The Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon’s massive form was actually knocked back by this orange halo. Even more shocking was what followed. Accompanied by Lin Chen’s low chanting, an orange dragon’s head emerged from the Holy Sun, spitting out a golden-red flame towards the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon.

This golden-red flame was only as thick as a human arm, and was very disproportionate to the orange dragon’s head that came out.

However, as soon as this golden-red flame appeared, the temperature in the entire Great Trial Arena instantly soared, and the air inside the protective shield actually showed water-like ripples. Even the ground seemed to have magma bubbling. It was evident how scorching this seemingly tiny golden-red flame was.

Faced with this level of flame, Mai Dou hesitated slightly, its massive body stalled in the air, and dark purple light seeped out from under its thick scales, quickly concentrating at the top of its head. It transformed into a dark purple light orb, blocking the golden-red flame in front of it.

“Holy Sun Incantation, Evil Breaker!” Lin Chen shouted.

“Boom!” The dark purple light orb released by Mai Dou shattered instantly, and its entire body was engulfed in a layer of golden-red flames, flying backwards. However, the broken dark purple light orb also emitted a strong dark purple glow, isolating the high temperature.

Lin Chen’s body swayed slightly, and the speed of his chanting clearly slowed down. Mai Dou, engulfed in golden-red flames, had already been thrown far away, its body constantly emitting dark purple light to dissolve the scorching golden-red flames.

“Hmm?” Seeing this scene, Long Haochen was taken aback and couldn’t help but look at Lin Xin beside him. Although the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon transformed by Mai Dou was not a true Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon and could only use some basic abilities, it was still a true ninth-rank powerhouse! Yet, in front of Lin Chen, it was blown away in just two exchanges. It seemed to have lost its combat effectiveness in a short time. This level of strength was not something a ninth-rank primary mage should possess.

Lin Xin smiled wryly and said, “The Holy Sun Incantation is the crystallization of my grandfather’s lifelong research. Although it’s not a domain, to some extent, it’s enough to rival a domain, combining three fires to maximize the explosive power of fire magic.”

Long Haochen nodded slightly and said, “It seems that this match is quite a test for Ying’er.”

The battle between summoners and mages should be a competition of their respective cultivation levels and magic chanting speed. However, Lin Chen, relying on the Holy Sun Incantation, not only chanted very quickly, but also possessed super strong magical power. The temperature of that golden-red flame even exceeded Lin Xin’s Heart Flame. In terms of talent and luck, Lin Xin far surpassed his grandfather, but in his understanding of fire, he still had a considerable gap with Lin Chen.

Inside the Great Trial Arena, Lin Chen’s offensive slowed slightly after launching the golden-red flames, while Chen Ying’er in the distance had already completed her first summoning magic.

A white six-pointed star appeared in front of her, and then, with a long dragon roar, an ice dragon more than ten meters long emerged from the white six-pointed star.

In terms of size, this ice dragon was not as large as the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon transformed by Mai Dou. It looked like a young dragon, but it was not an earth dragon or a sub-dragon, but a true dragon race originally from the Holy Demon Continent!

The summoners of the Soul Shrine couldn’t help but get excited at this scene. Summoning a giant dragon was the greatest honor for a summoner, even if it was just a young dragon.

Summoner’s summoning magic generally has two ways of use. One is to summon creatures from other planes to fight. After the battle, the summoned creatures either die or return to their original plane. The next time they are summoned, they will basically not be the same magical beasts that were summoned before. The other way is the contract type. After concluding a contract, the summoner must not let the summoned beast die easily, and the summoned beast will grow stronger with the summoner. Although the degree of closeness is not as good as that of a natal summoned beast, a contract summoned beast can be said to be a part of the summoner’s strength.

And summoners can have different numbers of contract summoned beasts depending on their strength. Once a contract summoned beast dies, it is a considerable blow to the summoner.

Generally speaking, a summoner can have a contract summoned beast for every rank they increase. Although summoning them does not take as much chanting time as a natal summoned beast, it still takes much less time than summoning magical beasts of the same rank normally.

From the time Chen Ying’er chanted the spell just now, the summoners understood that this young ice dragon was Chen Ying’er’s contract summoned beast!

What they didn’t know was that this ice dragon was also Chen Ying’er’s first contract summoned beast. Before the seventh rank, she couldn’t cast any summoning magic at all. Therefore, she had never had a contract summoned beast. After she broke through to the seventh rank, she stayed in the Soul Shrine to awaken as the Soul Saintess. Later, she followed Long Haochen to fight deep into the Demon Clan, and her strength continued to increase, but she never took in a contract summoned beast.

After they left the Eternal Tower, Chen Ying’er’s cultivation had reached the ninth rank. Through the special connection of the Soul Saintess, she found this young ice dragon and concluded her first contract. This was also the first time the ice dragon had fought for Chen Ying’er.

In fact, Chen Ying’er had already suffered a loss in the match with Lin Chen. The spell she chanted first was not summoning the ice dragon, but her Six Earth Dragon Summoning Technique, which could release elemental cages.

In her opinion, the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon transformed by Mai Dou could always withstand Lin Chen’s attack for a while. As long as her elemental cage was completed, then Lin Chen would undoubtedly be defeated.
