Ling Fan was slightly surprised by Han Xiaoya's rapid improvement in strength.
She had only recently advanced to Half-step Emperor Venerable, but judging by her current performance, her strength was far beyond that of a mere beginner in the Half-step Emperor Venerable realm. She was likely a formidable force among them, and her mastery of the Heavenly Realm's space-time laws was incredibly adept. This woman's talent was probably not inferior to Yan Xi, the reincarnation of a Heavenly Venerable.
...
After an unknown duration of travel through the depths of the Heavenly Realm's space-time.
A terrifying rift, one that inspired awe and dread, appeared before the two.
It was called a rift,
but in reality, it resembled a bottomless abyss.
The chaotic space-time turbulence within was more than ten times more dangerous than the outside.
Normal space-time turbulence could only threaten Ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors, posing little threat to Half-step Emperor Venerables and Emperor Venerables.
However, judging by the conditions within this space-time rift, even Half-step Emperor Venerables would risk perishing if they rashly entered.
Of course.
For the current Ling Fan, it posed little threat.
Even without any defensive measures, Ling Fan could enter and allow the space-time turbulence to tear at him without sustaining any damage.
However, he could not expose his strength at the moment.
After all, Gao Gan's current strength was an unknown factor.
He had to be wary of this.
"Let's go in."
Han Xiaoya did not hesitate at all and stepped directly into the space-time rift.
Ling Fan sighed and followed.
The darkness before their eyes flashed past.
The two found that the space ahead suddenly opened up.
Despite being just a small space-time rift,
it harbored a universe within.
It was unknown how many alternate dimensions and unknown worlds were contained within this rift.
As soon as Ling Fan entered, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "I sense the aura of a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Dao Fruit!"
Han Xiaoya looked at Ling Fan with great surprise and said, "You haven't even broken through to Ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor yet, and your senses are already this keen, able to detect the existence of a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Dao Fruit!"
However, despite her surprise, it was not the time to delve into this matter.
She said, "According to the intelligence, it is indeed highly probable that an unclaimed Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Dao Fruit exists within this rift. It seems the intelligence is accurate! We absolutely cannot let my enemy obtain that Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Dao Fruit first, otherwise, we will never be able to kill him."
Saying that.
Han Xiaoya flew towards the depths.
Ling Fan quickly followed.
"Hmm? Someone!"
As the two rushed towards the depths of the space-time rift, they detected the presence of other powerful beings.
And far more than just one!
"So many Half-step Emperor Venerables, and even Emperor Venerable powerhouses!"
Han Xiaoya exclaimed, sensing those powerful auras as strong as the sun.
Ling Fan pondered, "It seems someone intentionally spread the intelligence about this Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Dao Fruit, attracting so many powerful beings to contend for it."
It was foreseeable.
With so many powerhouses converging here, once a conflict erupted, it would be an incredibly fierce battle.
"Faster!"
Han Xiaoya urged.
Just then.
A voice like thunder exploded above their heads.
"I have been following you since you left Wanqi Palace, waiting for you! Heh heh, the space-time here is extremely chaotic, even if the Mistress of Wanqi Palace becomes a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, she won't be able to sense your danger. Let's see where you can escape this time!"
A towering, imposing figure descended with a roar.
It was the楼主 of Shenqi Tower!
He did not expect his obsession with avenging the Crown Prince of Shenqi Tower to be so deep, disregarding the dignity of any senior expert and resorting to any means necessary to kill Ling Fan for revenge.
"Little disciple, you go quickly! I will hold him off. He wouldn't dare to kill me, and with my current strength, he might not be able to kill me either." Han Xiaoya stood in front of Ling Fan, her expression extremely solemn.
Ling Fan did not heed her words and leave.
Instead, he stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
"How can I abandon my master?"
A heroic spirit arose in Ling Fan's words, "It's just an Emperor Venerable. Today, I will use a Heavenly Emperor to kill an Emperor Venerable!"
"Hahaha, arrogant and ignorant rat, die!"
The楼主 of Shenqi Tower did not utter any superfluous words. From the moment he descended, his overwhelmingly powerful aura locked onto Ling Fan and Han Xiaoya's location. At this moment, he suddenly unleashed his attack, a world-shattering, earth-shattering ultimate killing technique.
Boom!
A terrifying and boundless torrent of Emperor Weapons, like a mad dragon of ten thousand weapons, swept towards them.
This move was also used by the Crown Prince of Shenqi Tower.
Its power was astonishing.
Now, wielded by the楼主 of Shenqi Tower, a true Emperor Venerable expert, the difference was worlds apart!
It should be known that within that torrent of Emperor Weapons were several genuine top-grade Emperor Weapons, their power extremely terrifying.
Even experts of the same Emperor Venerable realm would not dare to face the impact of this torrent of Emperor Weapons head-on.
"Be careful!"
Han Xiaoya was greatly alarmed. She originally thought that even if she couldn't defeat an Emperor Venerable, she could at least put up a fight. But now she realized she was too naive; the techniques of an Emperor Venerable were far beyond her comprehension.
She gritted her teeth fiercely.
This trump card was originally meant to be saved to kill Gao Gan as a last resort.
But now, she had no choice but to use it.
An extremely dangerous aura erupted from her body. A jade hairpin among her lustrous strands of hair suddenly shattered.
Endless Emperor Venerable laws materialized out of thin air, imprinted upon Han Xiaoya, adding a peculiar charm to her.
A powerful aura, capable of rivaling an Emperor Venerable, suddenly exploded forth.
Han Xiaoya struck out with her jade-like arms, actually managing to block the impact of the terrifying torrent of Emperor Weapons.
"Heh heh, the Mistress of Wanqi Palace did indeed leave you a life-saving means, but you only have the power to save yourself."
The楼主 of Shenqi Tower sneered, allowing his torrent of Emperor Weapons to trap Han Xiaoya.
He then turned his attention to Ling Fan.
Infinite killing intent erupted from his eyes, transforming into a terrifying storm that charged towards him.
Ling Fan's head of gray hair whipped wildly backward.
But his expression showed no fear.
Instead, his fighting spirit subtly surged.
Boom!
Enemies met; no words were needed.
The imposing, dominant figure of the楼主 of Shenqi Tower descended with a roar, his arms seeming capable of supporting the sky and shattering the earth, striking towards Ling Fan like the western pillar of heaven collapsing.
At the realm of the楼主 of Shenqi Tower, where extreme laws and origin were condensed into one, his body was the ultimate means of attack. Even a Half-step Emperor Venerable would bleed profusely if grazed by his attack.
The楼主 of Shenqi Tower revealed a sinister grin.
He seemed to already see the tragic scene of Ling Fan's body exploding under his attack.
But in the next moment.
Ling Fan grinned and actually charged towards his attack.
Boom!
The two collided abruptly.
In an instant.
The space where they were located became completely chaotic, resulting in a startling explosion.
Stomp, stomp, stomp!
The imposing, domineering body of the楼主 of Shenqi Tower retreated several steps, each step causing the space to crackle and explode.
And opposite him.
Ling Fan retreated a few more steps than the楼主 of Shenqi Tower, but he was not dead!
The楼主 of Shenqi Tower's pupils contracted into pinpricks!
He was a dignified Emperor Venerable.
And this ant, a mere Eighth-tier Heavenly Emperor, dared to engage him in close combat and was not annihilated into dust?
Ling Fan laughed heartily, feeling exhilarated!
He then simply shattered the blue cloth robe on his upper body.
Revealing a body that was like the most perfect and flawless masterpiece.
As mysterious flames bloomed,
Ling Fan's flesh and skin instantly transformed into something resembling rhombic crystals.
At this moment, Ling Fan did not resemble a living being at all, but an incredibly powerful humanoid weapon!
"You have actually cultivated the legendary Body Transformation Myriad Weapons Art!"
