Yan Xi was even more surprised.
"I made a move, and then it was subdued."
Ling Fan said lightly.
Yan Xi fell silent.
"What do we do now? Should we leave?"
Yan Xi asked again.
"There's no rush now. You've broken through to the eighth stage Heavenly Emperor, and I also have the combat power of an eighth stage Heavenly Emperor. The two of us working together barely qualify to participate. Of course, we have to try. I'm here for those Dao artifact fragments. Once I obtain those Dao artifact fragments, my Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal should be able to truly advance to a top-grade Emperor weapon, laying a foundation for future advancement to a Dao artifact."
"If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll encounter another Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal."
"You want to snatch Dao artifact fragments!"
Yan Xi was startled.
"What, do you dare to risk it? The bold live, the timid starve."
Ling Fan coaxed her.
"Then I'll go mad with you!"
Thinking of potentially snatching food from the mouths of ninth stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.
Yan Xi couldn't help but feel a little excited.
In the short few days with Ling Fan, she had experienced all sorts of emotions she had never felt before.
She found herself slowly liking this feeling.
"Good."
Seeing Yan Xi tricked onto his ship, Ling Fan couldn't help but smile faintly.
The two instantly vanished into the void.
Heading towards the central region of this abandoned continent.
...
At this moment.
In the center of this chaotic flesh and blood continent.
A total of seven extremely powerful figures, as if about to crush the ancient heavens, were besieging a strange, monstrous, and extremely ugly existence below.
They had been besieging it for a long time.
But the vitality of the thing below was far beyond their expectations.
Moreover, this thing was completely connected to the entire abandoned continent, and it had even devoured a small portion of the Dao artifact fragments. Its physical core was almost immortal and indestructible, making it difficult for these top powerhouses to deal with it effectively.
"Young Master Han, this thing was created by your Qi Prefecture. Does your Qi Prefecture have any good ways to deal with it? It's entrenched outside the broken Dao artifact, and we can't even think about getting the Dao artifact fragments."
A powerful figure said.
If Ling Fan were here.
He would definitely find this figure very familiar.
The person called Young Master Han was a graceful woman, very young, with hair like a waterfall and eyes filled with world-weary indifference. She seemed very disgusted with this person and said coldly, "Are you talking to me? Do I know you!"
"Heh, no, no! My apologies." The man chuckled sheepishly.
"Hmph, you disgrace yourself! To think you're a sect leader, acting so submissively. If not for your loyalty, our Gao family would have kicked you out long ago."
Beside the man, there was also an elder-like powerhouse.
He spoke to the man with great disdain.
"Heh, you are right to lecture me! I should be more assertive." The man quickly nodded.
"Hmph!"
The elder was even more contemptuous.
Boom!
While they were speaking.
The monstrous creature below, neither human nor ghost, neither demon nor beast, suddenly swelled up. Every inch of its flesh was ten thousand times more disgusting than the skin of the most repulsive toad. Pus and foul blood flowed everywhere, its entire body like a highly decomposed corpse that had been soaked in water for months. Tentacles pierced through its bloated flesh and shot out, fiercely lashing at the seven powerhouses.
One of the weaker ones, a mere eighth stage Heavenly Emperor, was caught by a few tentacles due to carelessness. Instantly, his supposedly indestructible Emperor body was easily torn apart, large chunks of flesh peeled away, blood vessels ruptured, and blood flowed like a torrent. More tentacles wrapped around him, and countless mouths on them opened, madly devouring his body while dragging him downwards.
"Ah! Save me!"
He let out a terrified cry.
His Emperor soul wanted to escape his physical body, but as soon as his Emperor soul touched those viscous and disgusting tentacles, it was like touching a hot iron. Smoke sputtered, and he immediately suffered great damage, forcing him to retreat back into his body.
"Hold on!"
The peerless young female powerhouse called Young Master Han's expression turned solemn. A ray of light was waved out, and in an instant, the light grew explosively, transforming into a jade ruyi emitting a terrifying aura, which smashed heavily onto the tentacles.
Bang!
All the tentacles immediately exploded.
But the eighth stage Heavenly Emperor didn't have time to rejoice.
A skeletal claw, resembling a tiger's claw, with only withered bones remaining, suddenly grabbed his nape. The sharp white bone claws fiercely pierced into his body, dragging him directly down.
"Ah!"
A scream.
This eighth stage Heavenly Emperor was completely devoured by that strange existence, leaving no trace.
The expressions of the remaining six powerhouses became extremely solemn.
All the powerhouses below the ninth stage Heavenly Emperor who came on this trip had died.
Now, only the six of them, ninth stage Heavenly Emperors, remained.
This monster was simply too terrifying.
Did they really need to summon an Emperor Lord to suppress it?
Just as the six hesitated whether to retreat,
Two figures tore through the void and appeared in the arena.
One of them was a woman with her hair in elegant coils and a face like a flower, indescribably beautiful.
And the person next to her seemed a bit dull, as if slow to react to everything.
Upon seeing these two,
Among the six powerhouses, a ninth stage Heavenly Emperor wearing the attire of a Grand Elder of the Tianyi Sect shouted, "Yan Xi, Dao Yi, why are you two here? It's too dangerous, leave quickly!"
Yan Xi said, "Elder Tian Xiong, I have broken through to the eighth stage Heavenly Emperor, and Senior Brother Dao Yi is also an eighth stage Heavenly Emperor. The two of us should be able to help! What are you dealing with?"
Elder Tian Xiong said, "This is the Myriad Creatures Transformation Dragon Curse planted by the Dragon Clan's supreme experts in this place, and it has now taken root. If we want to obtain the Dao artifact fragments forged by Qi Prefecture back then, we must kill this thing. But this thing is too troublesome. Out of more than ten powerhouses at or above the eighth stage Heavenly Emperor, only we six ninth stage Heavenly Emperors remain. All the other eighth stage Heavenly Emperors are dead! You two, stop fooling around and leave quickly."
Dao Yi, next to Yan Xi, was naturally Ling Fan in disguise. He said dully, "We have the ability to protect ourselves, and besides, with Elder here, we are not afraid. Being able to witness the出手 of ninth stage Heavenly Emperors is also very beneficial for my cultivation."
Elder Tian Xiong, the Grand Elder of the Tianyi Sect, had always known that Dao Yi, the candidate for the sect leader of their Tianyi Sect, was a simpleton who only knew how to cultivate, and was also stubborn and unyielding. Now that they wouldn't leave, he had no way to deal with this stubborn mule.
"Stay behind me, just watch, and absolutely do not make a move."
"Yes!"
"Heh, Dao brother Tian Xiong, please rest assured. Yan Xi Heavenly Maiden is our Gao family's betrothed, and as an elder of the Gao family, it is my duty to protect her well. Otherwise, I will have no face to return and see that Gao Gan boy."
After the old man finished speaking, he berated the person next to him, "Listen carefully, you must protect Yan Xi Heavenly Maiden. If Yan Xi Heavenly Maiden loses even a single strand of hair, you can forget about being the sect leader!"
He was Gao Sangui, a ninth stage Heavenly Emperor from the Gao family of the Qingxuan Sect.
"Heh, then I'll trouble you."
Elder Tian Xiong of the Tianyi Sect expressed his thanks.
At the same time, he looked at the person being reprimanded by the elder with a playful expression.
He had always heard that the sect leader of the Qingxuan Sect, Lu Jiuwen, was a household servant sect leader of the Gao family. Seeing him being ordered around like a servant today, it was indeed true to his reputation.
Glancing nearby.
Ling Fan saw the subservient Lu Jiuwen, the supreme sect leader of the Qingxuan Sect, being scolded like a son, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
And Lu Jiuwen happened to look at him with a strange expression.
Their gazes met and then parted.
