"Boom!"
A violent explosion echoed.
The place where the Old Ancestor had gone into seclusion had become a pit tens of meters in radius!
"Swish!"
A streak of light flashed, and Old Ancestor Da Ling appeared in the imperial court.
"Welcome back, Old Ancestor!"
Led by the Emperor of Da Ling, all the officials knelt and bowed.
"Rise," Old Ancestor Da Ling swept his gaze across everyone and said faintly, "During my seclusion, was everything well within the Da Ling kingdom?"
"Old Ancestor!" The Emperor of Da Ling's eyes reddened, and tears immediately streamed down his face. "Something big has happened..."
Fifteen minutes later.
"This is happening?!" After hearing the Emperor's account, Old Ancestor Da Ling was enraged. "The Da Liang kingdom is going too far! Do they really think Da Ling has no one?!"
"Old Ancestor, what should we do now?" The Emperor of Da Ling seemed to have found his pillar of support and was no longer so apprehensive.
"A mere traitor is not worth mentioning!" Old Ancestor Da Ling stroked his beard. "During this seclusion, I have successfully broken through to the seventh level of Void Integration!"
"Seventh level of Void Integration?!"
"Hiss~"
Liang Feifan of the Da Liang kingdom was only at the sixth level of Void Integration, and it was rumored he was injured.
Now that our Old Ancestor has reached the seventh level of Void Integration, won't we be able to annihilate the Da Liang kingdom?
Top cultivators engaging in battle is against the rules?
Get outta here!
In the face of absolute strength, who is going to abide by rules with you?
If the Da Ling kingdom didn't have the Old Ancestor to oversee it, it would have been destroyed by the Da Liang kingdom countless times by now!
"Do you know the traitor's specific location?" After enjoying everyone's shock, Old Ancestor Da Ling spoke again.
"Old Ancestor!" The Emperor of Da Ling said excitedly, "That traitor is currently still in Luoxing City!"
"After I eliminate this traitor, I will pay a visit to the Da Liang kingdom." With that, Old Ancestor Da Ling flew away.
Along the way, Old Ancestor Da Ling pondered much.
He naturally didn't care about a mere traitor. He was thinking about Liang Feifan.
Before, they were both at the sixth level of Void Integration. If they had made a move, it would have been a devastating disaster for both countries!
But now, it was different!
Although it was only one small realm higher, this small realm was an insurmountable chasm!
Defeating Liang Feifan would be as easy as flipping a hand!
The speed of a seventh-level Void Integration cultivator was very fast. Old Ancestor Da Ling took half an hour to arrive at Luoxing City.
According to the video from the communication jade, he easily found Ye Fan.
"No wonder he could destroy the Ten Great Sects." Seeing Ye Fan's cultivation, Old Ancestor Da Ling suddenly understood. "So he's only at the sixth level of Void Integration..."
If it were before, he truly would not have been able to do anything about him.
But now...
"Traitor Ye Fan, come out quickly and accept your death!" Old Ancestor Da Ling stood in the void, his tone extremely majestic.
The vast, sea-like spiritual pressure ferociously pressed down towards Ye Fan on the ground!
At this moment, Ye Fan was sitting at a small table with Liang Rujing, savoring the local delicacies.
Hearing someone call his name, Ye Fan looked around curiously.
People were coming and going in the street, and everything seemed normal.
"Strange?" Ye Fan mumbled. "Did I hear wrong?"
"I also seemed to hear someone call you just now," Liang Rujing swallowed a mouthful of food and nodded in agreement.
Ye Fan seemed to recall something and looked up at the sky.
Aside from the blue sky and white clouds, not even a bird feather could be seen.
"Never mind, I won't bother," Ye Fan shook his head and continued to eat.
Perhaps it was an assassin who appeared out of nowhere, or maybe someone else wanted to get him.
The reason was not important.
Assassinate me?!
You're welcome!
Feel free to try, and if you make me frown, I'll lose!
I only hope you can be powerful enough, and not all end up as mobile chargers for the system!
Regarding the current situation, Ye Fan was also powerless.
He was just an ordinary mortal, with no ability to fight against the system.
After spending some time together, it wasn't just the system that had grown accustomed to things...
If you can't win, just give up!
In mid-air.
Old Ancestor Da Ling was full of vigilance!
His spiritual pressure had no effect?!
Could it be that this kid cultivated a spiritual-type technique?!
He was careless!
But fortunately, it wasn't a big problem.
He hadn't used his full power just now.
Moreover, spiritual-type techniques were only one branch of cultivation methods and couldn't bridge the gap of a small realm!
Based on the principle of caution and stability, Old Ancestor Da Ling did not use spiritual attacks this time.
His true qi circulated wildly within him, forming a vortex of true qi around Old Ancestor Da Ling!
It was obvious he was preparing a big move!
Fortunately, this vortex of true qi was only a few inches around him, so the people in Luoxing City did not notice.
Perhaps some powerful individuals had noticed, but they were now trembling in fear...
Without flashy special effects, without earth-shattering sounds.
After the charging time, Old Ancestor Da Ling pointed at Ye Fan in the void.
"Swish!"
A condensed beam of true qi shot out and instantly appeared behind Ye Fan!
All of this happened so fast that the people on the ground didn't even have time to react!
A golden light flashed and disappeared from behind Ye Fan.
At the same time, Old Ancestor Da Ling's ultimate move also vanished...
Let alone injuring Ye Fan, it didn't even make a sound louder than a fart...
"Not good!"
In mid-air, Old Ancestor Da Ling's face turned ashen!
His strongest move couldn't even injure the opponent in the slightest.
What the hell was sixth level Void Integration?!
Old Ancestor Da Ling's first thought was to run!
In fact, that's what he did.
But clearly, he had miscalculated.
Not to mention running, his body couldn't move at all!
What terrified him the most was that the true qi within his body was like a breached dam, flooding out uncontrollably through the channel!
The uncontrollable true qi condensed into a beam and entered Ye Fan's back.
No!
Stop!
Old Ancestor Da Ling panicked completely!
If he simply couldn't injure the opponent, it could be understood as the opponent having a protective treasure or being at a similar cultivation level.
But from the current situation, it was clear that the opponent's cultivation level was beyond his reach!
It would be as easy for the opponent to kill him as it was to crush an ant!
Old Ancestor Da Ling frantically circulated his cultivation technique, hoping to break free from the restraint.
However, no matter how he struggled, it was useless...
He could only watch as his true qi was gradually drained away...
Soon, something even more terrifying happened!
Old Ancestor Da Ling discovered in horror that his cultivation was actually regressing!
Sixth level Void Integration...
Fifth level Void Integration...
Fourth level Void Integration...
...
Cultivation and realm were the lifeblood of a cultivator.
The feeling of watching his cultivation regress was more unbearable than killing him!
What made it even more unbearable was that he could only watch it happen, but could do nothing about it...
One minute later.
Old Ancestor Da Ling's face was pale, almost sucked dry...
And his realm had fallen to the Golden Core stage...
The good news was that he could finally move now!
Realizing he had regained control of his body, Old Ancestor Da Ling took out his flying boat and fled!
In the evening.
The Da Ling Imperial Palace.
The Emperor and a group of ministers stood outside the hall, gazing expectantly at the sky.
With the Old Ancestor's cultivation, he should have returned hours ago.
Could something have happened again?
No, no, no, the Old Ancestor was a seventh-level Void Integration cultivator, how could anything happen?!
The most powerful person in the Da Liang kingdom was only Liang Feifan, at the sixth level of Void Integration. They couldn't possibly have trained the traitor to the seventh level of Void Integration, right?!
Perhaps the Old Ancestor had other matters or plans, and was delayed on the way.
Yes, yes, it must be like this!
Just as they were lost in thought, a black dot appeared in their vision.
The black dot grew closer, revealing itself to be a flying boat with an ancient design.
The flying boat slowly landed on the open space in front of the palace, and Old Ancestor Da Ling, trembling, walked down.
His face was already devoid of color, and his body was as limp as if it had no bones...
"Old Ancestor!" The Emperor of Da Ling was terrified and quickly stepped forward to support him. "What happened to you..."
He had imagined various scenarios before, but this scene was something he could never have imagined.
How had the omnipotent Old Ancestor become this way?
"Disaster is imminent..." Old Ancestor Da Ling said weakly. "The Da Liang kingdom... is invincible!"
