In a flash, faster than thought.
The moment the two drew their blades, the old emperor behind them, Xue Chen, also erupted instantly!
As the Third Princess attacked Xue Yuan!
He immediately lunged at Su Han. He couldn't wait any longer. He had originally thought that this brat Su Han would fall into his trap, get lost in the charms of the princesses, and hand over his Great Emperor's inheritance.
After all, at that time, Su Han only had a mere one hundred million power. Any one of the princesses could have extracted his Great Emperor's inheritance. If several princesses extracted it together, it would have been even better, and the Great Emperor's inheritance would have remained completely within the Xue clan!
But alas!
A dark horse appeared halfway, this inherently rebellious Third Princess actually hijacked Su Han, and returned to Blue Star together!
This infuriated Xue Chen.
The Xue clan's grand plan was thus delayed. And now, at a great cost, he had mobilized half of the Xue clan's experts to descend upon Blue Star simultaneously, all for the purpose of taking Blue Star in one fell swoop and claiming the Great Emperor's inheritance from Su Han!
As it stood, only by killing Su Han could he obtain the Great Emperor's inheritance!
Although this method would only yield half of the Great Emperor's inheritance, the old emperor Xue Chen could no longer afford to hesitate.
Even half of this inheritance alone possessed nearly 4.5 billion combat power!
With such combat power, if it were given to him, he would have 6 billion combat power. If it were given to the Crown Prince, or other Xue clan powerhouses, it would still exceed 5 billion combat power.
Faced with such temptation, Xue Chen could no longer hold back!
If sacrifices were to be made, let it be the third child!
"Third child, I'm sorry. Father must consider the Xue clan, and you, as a member of the Xue clan, must prioritize the clan's interests. Therefore, this time, you can only die!"
Looking at Su Han, the old emperor's hand vibrated violently. A surge of immense energy erupted, like an unstoppable shockwave, hurtling towards Su Han!
"And you, hand over the Great Emperor's inheritance!"
Xue Chen's hand, like a sharp claw, lunged towards Su Han. If he were caught, Su Han had no doubt he would be disemboweled and his gall removed.
At this moment, he also went all out, unleashing all his energy!
It was also due to his previous exchange with Princess Xue Ling that he gained an additional two hundred million combat power, allowing Su Han to forcefully withstand the old emperor's attack!
With a roar!
Like a massive gas tank exploding on the spot, a colossal shockwave erupted between the two.
Some weaker onlookers were instantly killed by this blast!
While those with greater strength immediately retreated!
Coughing up blood repeatedly!
"Damn it, how is this brat possible? He actually managed to withstand His Majesty's attack. I truly didn't expect this!"
"Alas, as I said, this brat is the chosen one. Think about it, can someone who inherits the Great Emperor's inheritance be an ordinary person? Therefore, this time, he must be killed, otherwise, in the future, the consequences will be endless!"
"Exactly, this brat's progress is too fast. I remember when he was in the Xue clan, he only had a little over one hundred million combat power. But now, look at him. In such a short time, he can already withstand His Majesty's attack. Alas, in another ten days or half a month, he'll be invincible!"
"That's why our Xue clan paid such a heavy price this time. We can only hope the Ye clan doesn't add insult to injury, otherwise... this time is truly perilous!"
A few elders muttered amongst themselves and retreated.
This battle was no longer something they could participate in. At this high level, if one's strength was even a single tier lower, it was useless even with sheer numbers. One strong individual could kill countless weaker individuals.
It could be said that combat power at this stage had become the boundary between life and death!
Victory meant life!
Defeat meant death!
There was no third option!
"Good boy, it seems you and that girl Xue Ling really had quite an effect on each other. You've become so powerful. Very well, today, this old man will let you taste what it means to freeze the world!"
As he spoke, the old emperor immediately snatched the scepter from Xue Yuan's hand!
Instantly, the red gem on the Xue God Scepter lit up brightly!
In an instant, the surrounding world seemed to be frozen. Trees rapidly turned into ice, the ground became ice, rivers turned to ice, and even the sky seemed to yearn to become ice.
In an instant, this world of ice and snow rapidly spread!
Wherever it passed!
It was a world of ice!
At this moment, Su Han inadvertently glanced backward and instantly saw that in a car behind them, Elder Jing, along with the car, had been frozen into ice. There was no struggle, and his eyes seemed to carry some fear and worry. But at this moment, Su Han knew that he had been killed by this world of ice.
"Elder Jing!"
Su Han instantly became enraged. Looking at Xue Chen, the Xue clan emperor before him, he charged forward without regard for his own safety!
And the Xue clan emperor was also going all out at this moment!
He was determined to seize the Great Emperor's inheritance from Su Han. This was the most crucial step in the Xue clan's gamble this time. If this step failed, even draining the entire Blue Star would be far from enough for the Xue clan's current situation!
"Die!"
"I'll kill you!"
The two instantly unleashed their strongest combat power!
One possessing the Xue God Scepter, the other possessing the Great Emperor's inheritance, they engaged in a rare head-on collision at this moment!
Instantly!
Even Xue Yuan and Xue Ling, the siblings standing nearby, stopped.
They stared fixedly at the center, at this battle that seemed like a divine miracle. In the next moment, they could no longer clearly see what was happening inside, as golden light flashed before their eyes.
"Retreat!"
"Crown Prince, retreat quickly..."
From afar, Xue Yuan only heard the voices of several elders behind her. Then, in the next second, she was like a kite with a broken string, instantly sent flying by the intense shockwave, disoriented.
If someone hadn't pulled her from behind, Xue Yuan felt she would surely have been killed by this shockwave.
And on the other side!
Princess Xue Ling, ignoring everything else, rushed towards a figure. Similarly, she was also hit by the shockwave, spitting blood. However, at this moment, amidst the light, she saw a figure also being blown away!
"Su Han!"
Immediately, Princess Xue Ling madly rushed towards Su Han!
In her eyes, Su Han at this moment was covered in burns, his entire body blackened. Furthermore, ice was beginning to form on Su Han's body, making him look as if he was about to turn into ice crystals, just like everything else on the ground!
