"Brother Fan!"
Lan Xueyi cried out in despair.
"Hmph, you want to destroy my Ling family? It's not that simple."
Ling Fan's eyes turned cold as he spoke.
"Qingyun Heavenly Sword, with your shattered form, accompany me for one last glorious battle."
As Ling Fan reached out towards the countless overlapping fragments of the Heavenly Court's continent.
Instantly, the myriad continents where the Heavenly Court resided began to shake violently. Palaces collapsed and sank amidst roaring sounds, revealing the original forms of the landmasses as they surged towards Ling Fan.
"Not good, stop him quickly!"
Yuanwu Heavenly Venerable, Taixu Heavenly Venerable, and others exclaimed in alarm.
The two of them accelerated their movements towards Ling Fan.
Meanwhile, Lei Xing Heavenly Venerable and Changsheng Heavenly Venerable attempted to prevent the fragmented continents from converging.
However, these were fragments of the foremost sword in the Central Heavenly Realm of yore. Even with the might of these two titans, Lei Xing Heavenly Venerable and Changsheng Heavenly Venerable could not halt their reunion, being forced to retreat by the sharp shards.
*Crack, crack!*
Before the attacks of Yuanwu Heavenly Venerable and Taixu Heavenly Venerable could land, countless massive fragments coalesced, forming an immeasurably vast divine sword.
With a flick of Ling Fan's finger, this cracked giant sword shot forth, its terrifying sword intent sweeping across the heavens. Yuanwu Heavenly Venerable and Taixu Heavenly Venerable's expressions changed, and they dared not confront it directly, forced to retreat millions of miles.
Ling Fan reached out again, and the giant sword shot back, returning to its normal size and landing in his hand with a joyful sword cry.
"Qingyun Heavenly Sword, you have worked hard."
Ling Fan caressed the cracked sword body with emotion, speaking softly.
"Capture his wife!"
Seeing Ling Fan holding the Qingyun Heavenly Sword, Yuanwu Heavenly Venerable conceived a plan and reached out towards Lan Xueyi.
"Scram!"
Ling Fan's eyes turned icy. He drew his sword and slashed, unleashing a fearsome sword light that traversed billions of spatial dimensions, forcing Yuanwu Heavenly Venerable to retreat in disarray.
Ling Fan's figure flashed, appearing beside Lan Xueyi. Holding the Qingyun Heavenly Sword in one hand and pulling Lan Xueyi with the other, he said, "Xueyi, I'll take you away!"
"Ling, what do you think the Heavenly Court is? That you can come and go as you please! This is no longer your era."
Yuanwu Heavenly Venerable and the other three wore grim expressions. Their Heavenly Venerable Dao Artifacts were unleashed, suppressing Ling Fan.
Ling Fan merely sneered.
"Thirty-Six Techniques of Peering into the Heavens, Thirty-Sixth Form, Qingyun Sword!"
With Ling Fan's current cultivation, he could already begin to unleash the power of the Thirty-Six Techniques of Peering into the Heavens. Especially with the remnant sword of the Qingyun Heavenly Sword in hand, combined with Ling Fan's current state of mind, the power of this sword was brought to its utmost limit. With this strike, the Dao Artifacts of the four Heavenly Court titans were struck with sparks, even showing hairline cracks, causing the four of them immense pain!
Just as Ling Fan was about to leave the Heavenly Court's vicinity.
Suddenly, the world fell into an eerie silence.
That feeling.
It was as if a supreme being, completely above heaven and earth, had suddenly appeared, causing the operation of some heavenly rules to fall into a desperate silence.
Following that.
A palm descended from the boundless sky.
What a terrifying palm it was.
Just a single palm line on it was deeper than the most magnificent galaxy.
A fingernail was like an boundless universe.
This palm seemed to control the most powerful forces in the heavens, capable of easily grasping all things in the world, omnipotent and omnipresent!
Beneath this palm, the four Heavenly Court titans, Yuanwu Heavenly Venerable, Taixu Heavenly Venerable, Changsheng Heavenly Venerable, and Lei Xing Heavenly Venerable, who had cultivated eight Dao or more, appeared incredibly small.
Even with the remnant sword of the Qingyun Heavenly Sword in hand, Ling Fan was utterly incomparable to this palm.
Because even at its peak, the Qingyun Heavenly Sword was only infinitely close to the power of a ten-Dao Heavenly Venerable, not yet truly reaching the level of supreme Dao Artifacts like the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal of the Heavenly Dragon Realm, the Wings of the Demon God of the Demonic Realm, the Three Lives Pure World Pagoda of the Heavenly Buddhist Realm, the Sword of the Demon God of the Heavenly Demon Realm, or the Phoenix Divine Robe of the True Phoenix Realm.
The owner of this palm had clearly surpassed the limits of a Heavenly Venerable, reaching a legendary tier comparable to Ling Fan's previous life.
Ling Fan looked at this palm, his eyes erupting with boundless killing intent!
"Dao Yi, you've come at the perfect time!"
Ling Fan roared, wielding the remnant sword of Qingyun and unleashing countless sword strikes.
However, beneath this true, sky-covering palm, all sword light was as fragile as thin ice. Even the remnant sword of Qingyun cracked and groaned, unable to maintain its form and shattering once more.
True despair had arrived.
Countless powerful beings watched this palm from afar, their hearts filled with infinite reverence.
Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable!
The Lord of the Heavenly Court.
The current strongest being in all the myriad realms!
Although Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable's true body was likely still far away in some unknown place.
His power was ubiquitous and invincible.
Just as Ling Fan and Lan Xueyi were about to be annihilated by this palm.
Suddenly, another equally vast and boundless force intruded forcefully.
It was a colossal dragon claw, majestic beyond words. Each dragon scale seemed forged from the most indestructible divine metal, golden and flawless. Most astonishingly, this claw possessed nine talons.
A Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon!
This was the symbol of the Supreme Dragon Ancestor of the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
"Dragon Ancestor, how dare you block me? I recall you have no relation to Ling Qingyun."
Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable's voice, like divine heavenly music, echoed through the heavens.
"The reincarnation of Emperor Qingyun has successfully refined my Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal, thus forging a connection with me. I might even rely on him in the future, and my lifespan is also nearing its end. I cannot abandon any potential."
A majestic dragon roar seemed to come from another world.
But strangely.
Everyone understood the meaning of the dragon's roar.
However, except for Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable, everyone else forgot it after hearing it, unable to recall what the Supreme Ancestral Dragon had said.
"Hmph!"
Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable spoke no further. Beings of his caliber would never change their minds due to the obstruction of others.
This sky-covering giant palm still descended with a roar.
The dragon claw of the Supreme Ancestral Dragon reached out from the side, colliding with Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable's palm.
A terrifying, boundless cataclysm and explosion occurred at the point of collision. Ling Fan gritted his teeth fiercely, and in the instant the Supreme Ancestral Dragon blocked Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable, the planet-sized reincarnation disk at the deepest part of his Reincarnation Divine Cauldron rotated slightly, unleashing a powerful force that propelled his body, allowing him to escape the pressure of the two supreme beings. Holding Lan Xueyi, he quickly vanished from the Heavenly Court.
After seeing Ling Fan completely disappear.
The immeasurably large dragon claw slowly retracted.
"Dragon Ancestor, when my true body returns from the Primordial Void God Realm, I will personally seek you out for a battle."
Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerable said coldly.
"Though I am ancient and frail, I do not fear anyone. Come if you dare."
The Supreme Ancestral Dragon snorted coldly and vanished without a trace.
