When Ling Fan arrived at the location marked by the locator.
A massive demonic palace, like an ancient, enduring mountain range, stood tall amidst boundless demonic energy.
Figures, so powerful they made him uneasy, were confronting each other outside the demonic palace.
Each figure was a Fourth-Order Xuan Emperor.
And there were over ten such figures.
Liu Zhong, the City Lord of Willow King City, was among the confronting powerhouses.
Liu Zhong's gaze was sharp, and he saw Ling Fan arriving at a glance.
He immediately transmitted his voice, "Young Master Tian, quickly enter this demonic palace. The key to the Demon Sealing Great Tomb has appeared, and it is within this demonic palace. All the Fourth-Order Xuan Emperors are currently confronting each other outside the palace. All factions have reached a tacit understanding that only those below the Fourth-Order Xuan Emperor realm can enter and compete. Many powerhouses from our Willow King City have already entered to compete. Your strength among the Half-Step Xuan Emperors is top-tier. You must seize the key to the Demon Sealing Great Tomb!"
The key to the Demon Sealing Great Tomb.
Ling Fan's eyes lit up.
As expected, the key had appeared.
Liu Zhong continued to transmit his voice, "You must be careful. Besides the powerhouses from our Willow King City, the major forces of Tide City, Feather Ascension City, Ruyi Sect, and Great Yue Sect have also sent top-tier Half-Step Xuan Emperors. Their numbers are significant. After you enter, it's best to observe the situation first. When they are fighting to the death, you can then step in to clean up the mess and reap the benefits!"
"Little Sea King of Tide City, Mo Shan of Great Yue Sect, the Feather Ascension Twins of Feather Ascension City, the Ruyi Trio of Ruyi Sect. You must pay special attention to these seven individuals. Their strength is likely not much inferior to yours!"
"Oh, and if possible, try to provide assistance to our Willow King City people. We would be extremely grateful!"
Liu Zhong was concise, explaining all the important matters to Ling Fan.
He even specifically asked Ling Fan to look after their Willow King City powerhouses, his tone very sincere.
Ling Fan nodded, seeing his concern for his subordinates.
"I understand."
He glanced at these formidable Fourth-Order Xuan Emperors. Among them were sturdy, mountain-like men with bronze skin exuding terrifying pressure, tall powerhouses wielding tridents, middle-aged scholars with extraordinary, reclusive demeanors, and fierce, ferocious-looking powerhouses.
These individuals emanated immensely powerful Xuan Emperor origin auras.
None of them were to be trifled with.
They were all strong figures among the Fourth-Order Xuan Emperors.
Ling Fan withdrew his gaze, his figure instantly transforming into a bolt of lightning, disappearing into the dark entrance of the demonic palace.
Upon entering the demonic palace.
Ling Fan discovered that it was a world within a world.
His divine sense probed outwards.
This demonic palace was truly immense, with a complex and winding structure. Furthermore, Ling Fan detected numerous fluctuations of hidden alternate dimensions.
Many places harbored great dangers, even causing Ling Fan to feel a chilling cold, his divine sense unable to fully penetrate all the secrets.
Ling Fan let out a cold snort.
The Demonic Eye of Heaven was instantly activated.
Immediately, the entire demonic palace became clear within Ling Fan's Demonic Eye of Heaven vision.
"There!"
Ling Fan quickly locked onto a location.
In a grand hall at the core of the demonic palace, there were countless valuable Emperor Pills, Emperor Weapons, cultivation technique scrolls, and other treasures. There were even three First-Order Xuan Veins, resembling miniature dragons, sealed within formations.
Over a hundred Half-Step Xuan Emperor powerhouses were engaged in a frenzied battle, vying for these treasures.
Among these figures, Ling Fan also spotted several familiar faces.
Among them were several powerful Half-Step Xuan Emperors from Willow King City.
Wang Zheng, Luo Bing, and Li Songjiang were actually among them.
"Other treasures aside, this demonic palace actually contains three First-Order Xuan Veins. As long as I can seize these three First-Order Xuan Veins, this trip will not be in vain. Refining them all will definitely be enough for me to break through to the Fourth-Order Xuan Emperor realm!"
It was known that the Liu family, which dominated the vast territory of Willow King City, only possessed one First-Order Xuan Vein, which demonstrated the preciousness of First-Order Xuan Veins.
This demonic palace contained three First-Order Xuan Veins.
No wonder those Half-Step Xuan Emperors were fighting like madmen.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At this moment, the melee in the hall had entered its white-hot stage.
Under the combined efforts of three young powerhouses wearing the disciple robes of the Ruyi Sect, they were invincible, instantly killing several Half-Step Xuan Emperors, intimidating more competitors, and seizing one First-Order Xuan Vein.
On the other side.
The Feather Ascension Twins of Feather Ascension City were not to be outdone.
These two looked extremely similar, likely twins. They communicated almost telepathically, coordinating as if they were one person. Both were top-tier Half-Step Xuan Emperors, and now, with their tacit cooperation, they were unmatched. They also seized a First-Order Xuan Vein.
For the last First-Order Xuan Vein, a young powerhouse with a bare, muscular torso and a Great Yue Sect disciple of equally robust build were confronting each other.
Bang bang bang!
The two exchanged several blows, and the powerful residual force swept wildly in all directions. Some Half-Step Xuan Emperors who also wished to join the competition for the First-Order Xuan Vein had their expressions change drastically. They were hit by the residual force and directly sent flying.
"Hmph! You insignificant ants, do you think you can take advantage of me? I must have this First-Order Xuan Vein. Get lost, don't force me to kill you!"
The powerfully built youth with the bare torso and muscles as hard as steel sneered.
"Little Sea King, don't be so overbearing. This First-Order Xuan Vein is ownerless. Why should I give it to you! We, so many Half-Step Xuan Emperors, are not necessarily afraid of you."
"Only Mo Shan has the qualification to contend with me. As for you, hmph!"
Little Sea King's expression was arrogant and extremely overbearing.
The Half-Step Xuan Emperors looked displeased, but after considering, and fearing Little Sea King's overwhelmingly powerful strength, they eventually retreated.
"Mo Shan, now that these wastes are no longer interfering, let us have a good fight!"
Little Sea King said to the iron tower-like youth opposite him.
Just then.
A figure, swift as lightning.
Suddenly descended between the two.
A terrifying aura coiled around him, and he reached out to grab the First-Order Xuan Vein.
"Another trash dares to seek death!"
"Scram!"
Little Sea King and Mo Shan simultaneously roared in anger, and waves of terrifying sound waves swept out!
"These are two incredibly potent sound wave secret techniques, the Tide Sea Sect's [Tide Listening Technique] and the Great Yue Sect's [Echo of the Gods]. That kid is dead."
Many Half-Step Xuan Emperors around saw this scene and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for the figure who dared to interfere in the fight between Mo Shan and Little Sea King.
"It's Tian Heng!"
"Oh dear, he's too reckless. Little Sea King and Mo Shan are both renowned peerless geniuses, invincible below the Fourth-Order Xuan Emperor realm. How dare he provoke the tiger's whiskers! To tread on the Tai Sui's head!"
A few Half-Step Xuan Emperors from Willow King City also noticed and exclaimed in alarm.
"Heh heh, it seems we don't need to make a move. Even we don't dare to provoke Mo Shan and Little Sea King, yet he dares to provoke both of them simultaneously!"
On the other side, Wang Zheng, Luo Bing, and Li Songjiang chuckled coldly, looking like they were enjoying the show.
"It's a shame for him, not being able to tear him to shreds with my own hands!"
Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and said.
Under the gaze of many Half-Step Xuan Emperors.
