A streak of rainbow light cut through the void at extreme speed.
It was Ling Fan, who had escaped from the hands of three half-step Heavenly Emperors.
Ling Fan's condition was dire at the moment.
Even his powerful Nirvana Emperor Body had suffered irreversible injuries, his entire body cracked, with terrifying fissures spread across him.
Spiritual herbs and elixirs were stuffed into his mouth like they were free.
They only managed to temporarily halt the deterioration of his body.
What was even more critical was that the three half-step Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were pursuing him relentlessly from behind. At this rate, they would catch up to him again before long.
"I am irreconcilable with your Gao family!"
Ling Fan was truly enraged by the pursuit.
Boom!
A massive roar echoed from behind.
A sky-covering palm pressed down for ten thousand miles, like a piece of heaven and earth collapsing.
Ling Fan's pupils contracted sharply.
Those three half-step Heavenly Emperors had caught up again!
"Kid, you can't escape. Surrender quickly!"
"We'll see about that," Ling Fan sneered, his speed increasing instead of decreasing.
But in the next moment.
The void ahead suddenly exploded.
Two figures of immense power appeared, blocking Ling Fan's path.
The full might of these two half-step Heavenly Emperor powerhouses was truly earth-shattering, like two torrents crashing forward.
Ling Fan was instantly plunged into a desperate situation.
In his current state, he could no longer withstand the attacks of three half-step Heavenly Emperors.
"There's still one way!"
Ling Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He abruptly stopped.
The three half-step Heavenly Emperors of the Gao family thought Ling Fan had resigned himself to fate. Three terrifying forces struck him from three different directions.
Boom!
At that moment.
The vast power of the three half-step Heavenly Emperors slammed into Ling Fan, rushing into his body like a destructive force.
Ling Fan showed no intention of resisting.
He even actively guided the power of the three half-step Heavenly Emperors into his own body.
"Now!"
Ling Fan, enduring the impact of the three forces, channeled them all towards the fragment of the Dao artifact deep within his body.
Originally, he would have had to reach the half-step Heavenly Emperor realm to barely refine this fragment of the Dao artifact.
But now, Ling Fan cleverly utilized the power of these three half-step Heavenly Emperors.
Boom!
The three half-step Heavenly Emperor powers fiercely impacted the Dao artifact fragment.
The originally incredibly solid Dao artifact fragment.
Finally melted a sliver.
"Success!"
Ling Fan rejoiced inwardly.
He madly absorbed the power from that melted sliver of the Dao artifact.
In an instant, the terrifying injuries on Ling Fan's body began to heal rapidly.
Moreover, his Emperor Body grew even stronger.
However, Ling Fan feigned being heavily injured, swaying precariously, and shouted at the three half-step Heavenly Emperors like a cornered beast, "What kind of half-step Heavenly Emperors are you? Is this all you've got? People from the Gao family are truly a bunch of trash!"
"If I were at the sixth-tier Profound Emperor realm now, it would be you who died!"
"Heh, still talking tough on the brink of death. If you want to die, we'll grant you your wish," the three half-step Heavenly Emperors sneered.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Attacks rained down on Ling Fan like a storm.
Ling Fan secretly rejoiced.
He continuously guided the power of the three half-step Heavenly Emperors towards the Dao artifact fragment.
As more and more of the Dao artifact fragment melted.
Not only did Ling Fan's injuries completely recover.
His fused Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal also benefited greatly.
After all, this was a fragment of the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal at the Dao artifact level.
The Heavenly Venerate Dao principles and materials contained within were far beyond imagination.
A single Heavenly Venerate Dao principle was equivalent to tens of thousands of sixth-tier Profound Emperor laws.
"Ah, I'm dying! Stop quickly..." Ling Fan cried out intentionally.
"Hmph, this brat is cunning! Don't get close to him, just blast him to death," the three half-step Heavenly Emperors of the Gao family still didn't realize they had fallen for Ling Fan's trick and continued their assault.
But as time passed.
They gradually began to notice something was wrong.
By all logic, after enduring so many attacks, even a half-step Heavenly Emperor would have been reduced to ashes.
Yet, Ling Fan was still alive!
"Stop for now!"
One half-step Heavenly Emperor shouted to halt them.
The other two looked at him in surprise.
"Why stop? We're about to kill this brat!"
"It's not that simple. This brat is deliberately provoking us!"
Upon hearing this.
The other two also sensed the anomaly.
But it was too late.
After refining a little more than half of the Dao artifact fragment.
A crisp sound suddenly came from within Ling Fan.
It was as if a barrier had been broken!
His Heaven and Earth expanded to a diameter of six thousand zhang.
A powerful aura of a sixth-tier Profound Emperor emanated from Ling Fan.
Sixth-tier Profound Emperor.
Achieved!
"How could this be!"
Seeing Ling Fan unexpectedly advance to the sixth-tier Profound Emperor realm through misfortune.
The three half-step Heavenly Emperors of the Gao family were stunned.
"I should thank you all!"
Ling Fan grinned.
Revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.
"Now, it's my turn to counterattack! Refining you should allow me to break through to the peak of the sixth-tier Profound Emperor realm, preparing me for the subsequent push towards the half-step Heavenly Emperor realm."
Ling Fan suddenly revealed his true strength.
Shaking off his previous state of decline.
One half-step Heavenly Emperor of the Gao family snorted, "It's just advancing to the sixth-tier Profound Emperor realm, what's so great about that? Do you think you can turn the tables just by reaching the sixth-tier Profound Emperor realm? You underestimate the three of us half-step Heavenly Emperors too much!"
"We'll find out."
Ling Fan sneered.
With a flip of his palm, the Emperor Blade Wei Long appeared in his hand. His figure flashed, and Ling Fan appeared before a Gao family half-step Heavenly Emperor like a ghost, slashing down with his blade!
Boom!
A massive dragon-shaped blade energy tore through the sky and fiercely struck the half-step Heavenly Emperor.
Crack, crack!
The defensive light on the half-step Heavenly Emperor's body shattered abruptly.
Immediately, a splash of blood erupted.
The half-step Heavenly Emperor cried out and retreated frantically.
"How is this possible! I am a half-step Heavenly Emperor!"
His heart was filled with extreme shock.
He had never imagined that Ling Fan's strength would surge to this extent simply by advancing to the sixth-tier Profound Emperor realm.
But he had no time to think further.
Ling Fan pressed on.
Blade after blade was unleashed.
The void continuously exploded.
In a short while.
The half-step Heavenly Emperor's body was covered in countless wounds.
"This blade is too dangerous, it's definitely a top-grade Emperor weapon!"
The other two half-step Heavenly Emperors were also greatly alarmed.
"Attack together, we absolutely cannot let him pick us off one by one."
The two half-step Heavenly Emperors reacted quickly and immediately attacked.
Bang, bang, bang!
Their attacks rained down on Ling Fan like a storm.
However, Ling Fan completely ignored their attacks.
He allowed the attacks of these two half-step Heavenly Emperors to land on his back.
Ling Fan merely swayed.
He didn't even spit out a mouthful of blood.
After refining a little more than half of the Dao artifact fragment.
Ling Fan's physique had become so robust that even these half-step Heavenly Emperors could only sigh in admiration.
"Take your life!"
Ling Fan smiled chillingly.
Another blade light slashed out.
The terrifying blade energy crisscrossed for ten thousand miles, shattering the half-step Emperor weapon of the half-step Heavenly Emperor, and then fiercely struck the man, instantly causing him to explode into pieces, his Emperor Soul also ground to dust.
Ling Fan wasted no time.
A suction force erupted.
The fragments of the half-step Emperor weapon, along with the shattered body and half-step Heavenly Emperor laws of this half-step Heavenly Emperor, were all devoured by Ling Fan.
"Gao Yun!!"
The other two half-step Heavenly Emperors let out heart-wrenching cries.
Ling Fan's expression turned cold.
He turned and fixed his gaze on the remaining two half-step Heavenly Emperors.
The eyes of these two Gao family half-step Heavenly Emperors turned bloodshot, their teeth gritted, revealing endless hatred.
"Kill!"
At this point.
There was no room for negotiation between the two sides.
It was either you die or I die!
Bang, bang, bang!
The two half-step Heavenly Emperors unleashed their full power without reservation, and immediately terrifying forces raged through the sky like a torrent. They coordinated extremely well, attacking Ling Fan from the front and back.
Unfortunately, no matter how well they coordinated.
Ling Fan's current strength had already become so formidable that they could only gaze at it from afar.
Ling Fan didn't even use the power of the Samsara Divine Cauldron.
His physical strength alone, coupled with the power of Heaven and Earth, was enough to suffocate these two half-step Heavenly Emperors.
Swish!
A breathtaking blade light tore through heaven and earth.
Another half-step Heavenly Emperor bled in the void.
He was ground to pieces by the blade light.
The remaining half-step Heavenly Emperor stared with eyes wide with horror!
Without hesitation.
The last half-step Heavenly Emperor had no fighting spirit left.
He turned and fled.
He wanted to go back and report, so that the Gao family could send true Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.
Otherwise, they couldn't do anything to Ling Fan.
But he suddenly felt a cold chill on his back.
His heart gave a great warning.
He turned around.
And saw a flash of blade light.
His head flew off completely.
His eyes widened.
He watched as his torso moved further and further away from him.
Then.
The blade light crisscrossed.
His head, along with his body and Emperor Soul, were ground to dust.
All three half-step Heavenly Emperors of the Gao family.
Were all killed in return.
If the Gao family had known this would be the outcome, they would have spared no expense to mobilize a true seventh-tier Heavenly Emperor to hunt Ling Fan.
Instead of sending three half-step Heavenly Emperors to their deaths.
