"You've actually cultivated the legendary Body Transformation Myriad Artifact Art!"
Seeing Ling Fan's crystalline body, the Divine Artifact Building Master exclaimed in disbelief, recalling something.
"You do have some insight!"
Ling Fan grinned, his teeth as brilliant as the finest diamonds.
"Hmph!"
Despite his surprise, the Divine Artifact Building Master's expression remained unchanged as he charged forward with overwhelming killing intent.
The two immediately clashed.
Boom boom boom!
Time and space were thoroughly thrown into chaos by their battle.
Vast swathes of space became true forbidden zones.
Even a half-step Emperor Venerable would be pulverized if they rashly entered.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Each collision between them produced a dull, resonant sound like two massive bell tripods striking each other.
It had to be said, the Divine Artifact Building Master's strength was terrifyingly formidable.
His physical body was also among the elite of his peers.
Furthermore, he possessed a Supreme Emperor Artifact.
He was truly armed to the teeth, his combat power astounding.
He was indeed a hegemon of the Heavenly Court, ruling over several prefectures.
Even after Ling Fan refined those several Dao Artifact fragments and his physical body underwent an unimaginable transformation, he gradually began to fall into a disadvantage, being suppressed by the Divine Artifact Building Master.
His body, composed of countless hard and indestructible crystalline divine shards, started to crack under the strain of such intense combat!
Puff!
The Divine Artifact Building Master's hands were adorned with a pair of beast claw gauntlets, sharpened to an extreme degree. He suddenly reached out, piercing through Ling Fan's abdomen.
Ling Fan felt as if he had suffered a heavy blow. His body involuntarily curled into a shrimp-like shape, hanging limply from the Divine Artifact Building Master's powerful arm.
Just as the Divine Artifact Building Master was preparing to tear Ling Fan apart.
"Whoosh!"
A graceful silhouette tore through the void.
Potent Emperor Venerable laws surged like a storm across the firmament!
At that moment.
Han Xiaoya unleashed the Emperor Venerable laws sealed within the jade hairpin to their utmost, forcibly rescuing Ling Fan from the Divine Artifact Building Master's grasp.
"Go!"
Han Xiaoya grabbed Ling Fan and fled madly into the distance, instantly covering a million miles.
But a tall, imposing figure behind them, like a persistent maggot, pursued relentlessly.
As the power within Han Xiaoya rapidly waned, a sense of weakness washed over her.
The Divine Artifact Building Master behind them drew ever closer.
A terrifying shadow loomed.
Rumble!
The Divine Artifact Building Master's hand, seemingly capable of supporting the sky, reached out.
The oppressive force closed in like the sharp sword of death.
Han Xiaoya gritted her teeth, pushed Ling Fan forward, and then, like a moth drawn to a flame, turned to face the Divine Artifact Building Master.
"Hmph, you think I dare not kill you!"
The Divine Artifact Building Master's expression was cold and majestic. In the eyes of a hegemon of the Heavenly Court, the disciple of a mere Artifact Sect's Emperor Venerable was easily dispensable!
The Divine Artifact Building Master's massive hand descended without hesitation.
Just as Han Xiaoya was about to perish.
At that moment, a slender figure, crystalline and jade-like all over, descended before Han Xiaoya.
It was Ling Fan, who had been pushed away by Han Xiaoya.
"Heh heh, what a pair of desperate lovers. Since you're willing to die for each other, I shall grant your wish."
The Divine Artifact Building Master let out a sinister laugh. Boundless Emperor Venerable laws gathered in his palm like an apocalyptic storm. He struck down with a palm, fiercely hitting Ling Fan's back.
Crack crack crack...
Amidst the spatial turbulence, the crisp sound of a crystal sculpture shattering into pieces seemed to echo.
Ling Fan's robust physique, composed entirely of crystalline shards, exploded under the force of the blow!
"My little disciple!"
Seeing Ling Fan obliterated before her eyes, Han Xiaoya let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Heh heh, thinking that with a slightly stronger physique you could frolic before me, truly ignorant of your own limitations. I shall now send you to the underworld to reunite with him."
After shattering Ling Fan with a palm strike, the Divine Artifact Building Master extended his demonic hand towards Han Xiaoya once more.
But at that very moment.
Countless crystalline fragments surged like a river of shards, instantly forming a cocoon that heavily protected Han Xiaoya within.
"Hmm? Is that brat not dead yet!"
The Divine Artifact Building Master frowned slightly.
The palm strike, capable of killing a half-step Emperor Venerable, had only sent the cocoon of crystalline fragments flying, not broken it.
"Hmph, merely resisting futilely. Let's see how long you can hold on."
The Divine Artifact Building Master opened his mouth and spat out a stream of light, which transformed into an ancient mirror suspended in the spatial turbulence. A beam of light was aimed at the cocoon formed by the crystalline fragments. The moment the beam struck the cocoon, it immediately emitted a sizzling sound, as if attempting to burn through its defenses.
At this moment.
Inside the cocoon.
A phantom figure composed of countless crystalline fragments floated before Han Xiaoya.
"At this point, I can only reveal my true identity to you. I am Fan Lin, the Vice Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect. My real name is Ling Fan. It was I who, along with your father, annihilated the Gao family. It was also I who killed two Supreme Elders of the Tian Yi Sect on the abandoned extraterrestrial continent in Qi Prefecture that day and seized the four Dao Artifact fragments. I have integrated a Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal into my body. My purpose in coming to Qi Prefecture this time is to advance this Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal within me to a Supreme Emperor Artifact."
"Master, besides me, most of the other Dao Artifact fragments should have fallen into your hands. Quickly hand over those fragments to me. My current state cannot hold on for long. Only by refining and absorbing the Dao Artifact fragments in your possession can I be reborn from the brink of death."
Ling Fan's phantom spoke rapidly.
Han Xiaoya's mind was greatly shaken upon hearing Ling Fan's words.
"You are that Fan Lin!"
At that instant.
Countless thoughts flashed through Han Xiaoya's mind.
However, she was not one to be indecisive.
She immediately decided to trust Ling Fan and take a gamble.
"I can give you all those Dao Artifact fragments. The key question is, can you refine them? Is there enough time?"
"How will you know if you don't try," Ling Fan said with a faint smile.
Han Xiaoya, however, hesitated and became shy, a blush rising to her face, truly as beautiful as peach blossoms in March.
As the saying goes, "The peach tree is so luxuriant, its flowers are so brilliant."
Nothing more could be said.
"I... I am actually the reincarnation of the spirit of that Dao Artifact-level Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal. At that time, the Heavenly Forging Master of the Myriad Artifact Palace had the opportunity to escape, but he left that opportunity to me, using his own life to block an attack from beyond the heavens, thus exchanging it for my chance at reincarnation."
"I..."
"I have also integrated those Dao Artifact fragments into my body!"
Han Xiaoya gritted her teeth and revealed the truth.
"What!"
Upon receiving this information.
Ling Fan was also stunned.
No wonder he had felt a sense of closeness from Han Xiaoya before.
It turned out to be from this very reason!
"Since you have already integrated those Dao Artifact fragments into your body, this method must be abandoned. I will think of another way. If all else fails, I will fight the Divine Artifact Building Master to the death."
Ling Fan said with a bitter smile.
"Although those Dao Artifact fragments have been integrated into my body and cannot be stripped away, but..."
Han Xiaoya bit her red lips and, as if having made a firm decision, said, "You have cultivated the Body Transformation Myriad Artifact Art. You are the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal, and the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal is you. I am the reincarnation of a Dao Artifact-level Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal. If we cultivate together, it might bring great benefits to both of us..."
As she spoke, Han Xiaoya's voice became as faint as a mosquito's hum.
Especially when she uttered the words "cultivate together."
Han Xiaoya was so shy that her slender neck turned red.
Her eyes were like water.
Naturally enchanting.
Ling Fan was momentarily captivated.
Han Xiaojie, who was usually as aloof and unapproachable as a goddess, also possessed such a captivating, feminine side.
