"This person only seems to have half a step to the Emperor Venerable realm, yet he has defeated many peerless geniuses at the Emperor Venerable level. He should not be underestimated."
"Heh, he's just lucky. How strong can a genius from a small sect like him be compared to the true disciples of the Tai Xu Realm? Every disciple in the Tai Xu Realm is a top-tier talent among talents, the elite of the elite. They are absolutely no weaker than those from the Longevity Pavilion, all inheritors of powerful Heavenly Venerables, one in ten million! How can someone from a small sect in Jinzhou be compared to the heroes of the Tai Xu Realm!"
Discussions immediately erupted.
A dark, resentful gaze fell upon Ling Fan.
Ling Fan raised an eyebrow slightly and followed the gaze.
He saw Gao Qiu's ferocious, grinning face.
Gao Qiu made a throat-slitting gesture at Ling Fan.
Ling Fan chuckled coldly.
Ling Fan had long seen that Gao Qiu was hiding his strength.
Did Gao Qiu think that by becoming a quasi-Heavenly Venerable, he could surely kill him?
How ridiculous!
Ling Fan ignored Gao Qiu's provocation.
At this moment, Luo Wei, a disciple from the Tai Xu Realm opposite him, tilted his chin and looked over, saying, "You still have the mind to look elsewhere when you're fighting me? Hmph, you truly don't know your place. You should be content to have reached this stage as someone from a small sect. Surrender early and scram, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll let you know the power of the Tai Xu Realm's inheritance."
"Why don't you go eat shit?"
Facing Luo Wei's arrogance, Ling Fan retorted unceremoniously.
Luo Wei's gaze turned cold, and he attacked without hesitation.
Boom!
Terrifying Emperor Venerable origin surged out like an ocean. Luo Wei was burly and tall, like a young peerless Heavenly Venerable striking across the sky. He condensed terrifying Extreme Dao Emperor Arts between his hands and launched them towards Ling Fan.
It was clear he intended to kill Ling Fan, striking with extreme ruthlessness.
An ordinary half-step Emperor Venerable would have no chance of survival.
Ling Fan recalled the Broken Illusory Immortal Mirror suspended above the Southern Heavenly Gate when he entered, and a killing intent flashed in his heart.
That Tai Xu Heavenly Venerable dared to betray him.
Then he would cripple a disciple of the Tai Xu Realm first and collect some interest.
Ling Fan retreated half a step, raised his hand, gathered his strength, and punched in one fluid motion!
Boom!
A torrent of pure physical strength, accompanied by a deafening roar, fiercely collided with Luo Wei, who was attacking with condensed Extreme Dao Emperor Arts.
Under the gaze of countless eyes.
Luo Wei cried out in agony, his body nearly exploding. He was like a mountain being crushed by an ancient Sumeru divine mountain, flying backward in defeat.
At that moment.
Countless powerful figures were stunned into silence.
"You deserve to die!"
Luo Wei roared madly, like a god or a demon, his body rapidly recovering. But before he could counterattack, a giant footprint rapidly enlarged in his pupils.
Boom!
Ling Fan stomped down with this foot.
He directly stomped Luo Wei's body deep into the molten core of the extraterrestrial star.
Finally, the entire massive extraterrestrial star exploded with a bang.
Luo Wei's painstakingly cultivated Emperor Venerable origin was completely scattered.
He fell like a tattered sack.
Plop!
When Luo Wei crashed heavily back onto the plaza, the surroundings were so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Especially the powerful figures from the Heavenly Court's Tai Xu Realm.
They found it even harder to accept the outcome.
Their outstanding disciple from the Tai Xu Realm, the Heavenly Venerable's inheritor, had actually lost, and lost to a genius from an unknown small sect in Jinzhou!
"Is this the so-called genius of the Heavenly Court's Tai Xu Realm? He's not even fit to carry my shoes, someone from a small sect."
As Ling Fan's mocking voice echoed, all the powerful figures from the Tai Xu Realm, as well as other Heavenly Court powerhouses, glared at him furiously.
Luo Wei, on the other hand, was so enraged that he fainted.
"Fan Lin of the Qing Xuan Sect in Jinzhou wins. Reward... reward a pot of high-grade Heavenly Pills, a piece of high-grade Emperor Weapon, and half an hour of cultivation in the Longevity Pool."
The quasi-Heavenly Venerable expert from the Heavenly Court hesitated before speaking.
Ling Fan heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Previously, the rewards for each of the top 100 battles were extremely generous, with top-grade Heavenly Pills and even quasi-Dao Pills being common, and cultivation in the Longevity Pool starting from at least five hours. But for Ling Fan, the rewards were significantly reduced, even less than the initial rewards.
It was obvious to everyone what the problem was.
Because Ling Fan had defeated a genius from the Heavenly Court's Tai Xu Realm, damaging the Heavenly Court's prestige, he was being targeted by the Heavenly Court.
However, even though everyone knew it, no one was foolish enough to expose it.
Ling Fan was not someone who would silently endure grievances, and he desperately needed cultivation time in the Longevity Pool!
He looked directly at the Heavenly Court's quasi-Heavenly Venerable expert and said mockingly, "What, are the people from the Heavenly Court sore losers? If you admit you can't afford to lose, I don't care about your damn rewards. Keep these trash to send beggars away."
When Ling Fan said this without any reservation.
Countless people held their breath.
This young man was too audacious!
Did he know who he was speaking to, such a colossal entity?
The Heavenly Court's quasi-Heavenly Venerable expert frowned and reprimanded, "Bold! Do you know where you are? How dare you, a junior, be so presumptuous!"
"It's fine, issue the rewards as normal."
At this moment.
Yuan Wu Heavenly Venerable, shrouded in divine light, spoke.
The Heavenly Court's quasi-Heavenly Venerable expert's eyes widened in disbelief. Although he was puzzled, he dared not disobey in the slightest and quickly lowered his head respectfully, saying, "Your Heavenly Venerable's decree shall be obeyed."
"Reward Fan Lin of the Qing Xuan Sect in Jinzhou with five pots of top-grade Heavenly Pills, one quasi-Dao Pill, a complete set of top-grade Emperor Weapons, and one quasi-Dao artifact. He may enter the Longevity Pool for six hours of cultivation."
"Now that's more like it."
Ling Fan was satisfied and drifted away.
Above.
Lan Xueyi frowned as she looked at Ling Fan. Although Ling Fan had changed his appearance, for some reason, she felt a very familiar aura about him, as if she had met him before.
"Fan Lin... Fan Lin..."
She silently repeated the name in her mind.
Suddenly.
A flash of lightning struck her mind.
"Fan Lin! Reversed, it's Lin Fan... Ling Fan!"
"Brother Fan... could he be Brother Fan!"
Lan Xueyi's heart began to pound wildly.
"What's wrong? Have you encountered someone you know?"
Yuan Wu Heavenly Venerable's eyes, which seemed to see through all the hidden secrets of the world, looked over.
Lan Xueyi was startled and quickly suppressed the shock in her heart, masking it by saying, "Nothing."
Yuan Wu Heavenly Venerable did not press further.
Lan Xueyi's heart, however, was pounding in her throat.
She prayed that this Fan Lin would not be Brother Fan.
"Next match..."
The top 100 battles continued.
Soon, they entered the next round.
In this round, Ling Fan's opponent was also a genius at the Emperor Venerable realm, but not from the Heavenly Court. Instead, he was a direct descendant of a Heavenly Venerable family from the Central Continent. Although his strength was also formidable, he was still inferior to Luo Wei of the Tai Xu Realm.
Of course, he was no match for Ling Fan.
Ling Fan won again. This time, the Heavenly Court's quasi-Heavenly Venerable expert dared not continue to withhold Ling Fan's rewards.
Gao Qiu also advanced smoothly.
In addition,
Many peerless geniuses began to reveal their hidden strengths.
Among them, quasi-Heavenly Venerable level top geniuses from the Heavenly Court's Tai Xu Realm, Yuan Wu Palace, Lei Xing Hall, and Longevity Pavilion began to emerge.
Especially the four individuals, Gong Yuan of the Tai Xu Realm, Yuan Hong of Yuan Wu Palace, Wu Tian of Lei Xing Hall, and Zhuang Zhiyuan of Longevity Pavilion, displayed terrifying invincible potential, crushing any enemy they encountered.
