In a thousandth of a second, Ling Fan’s Sky Demon Eyes suddenly opened, their terrifying pupil power instantly invading the spiritual world of the Heavenly Evil Star Saint. Even as powerful as the Heavenly Evil Star Saint was, with an incomparably resilient saintly mind, he was momentarily frozen by the Sky Demon Eyes.
“Break! Break! Break for me!”
The Heavenly Evil Star Saint was startled, roaring repeatedly as he prepared to shatter the confinement of the Sky Demon Eyes.
How could Ling Fan waste this golden opportunity? Seizing this moment, the physical power of his Nirvana Tribulation Body and the cultivation power of his Myriad Laws Golden Core both ascended to an unprecedented peak. All his strength converged onto his fists, unleashing a barrage of hundreds of punches like a fierce storm, each one landing with solid impact on the Heavenly Evil Star Saint.
Bang bang bang!
How immense was Ling Fan’s physical strength?
It was comparable to an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Coupled with the condensed power of the Myriad Laws Golden Core, these hundreds of punches were more than the Heavenly Evil Star Saint’s saintly body could withstand.
Ten punches later, he was spitting blood. Dozens of punches later, his physical body began to show cracks.
Hundreds of punches later, the foundation of his martial physique was shaken, his vital energy greatly depleted. His body was like a shattered porcelain vase, covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
By the time a thousand punches landed, the Heavenly Evil Star Saint’s limbs and torso were exploding. Only his head, at the last moment, broke through Ling Fan’s Sky Demon Eye blockade, letting out a sharp scream as it frantically fled.
All of this seemed to take a long time.
However, in reality, it all happened in the flash of an eye, in a tenth of a second.
The other three powerful figures from the other great sacred lands had not yet approached when they witnessed this astonishing reversal.
The Heavenly Evil Star Saint, who had held an absolute advantage, had unexpectedly capsized in the gutter, being beaten into exploding pieces by the suddenly surging, heavily injured young man, leaving only his head to escape in terror.
“Not good, the Heavenly Evil Star Saint is in danger! Quickly kill that brat and save Heavenly Evil!”
The Holy Lord of the Flying Star Holy Land was a tall and imposing middle-aged man, his eyes like condensed starlight, his gaze piercing and his presence overwhelmingly majestic. He exclaimed and immediately moved to rescue.
The experts from the other two sacred lands, however, were not particularly eager to save the Heavenly Evil Star Saint. To them, the death of one Heavenly Evil Star Saint meant one fewer competitor, so why not?
They did not intervene but instead focused their targets on Ling Fan. If Ling Fan were to kill the Heavenly Evil Star Saint with all his might, he himself would be utterly destroyed by their combined assault.
“Want to escape? Dream on!”
Ling Fan’s chest was filled with surging killing intent, like a trapped lion in desperation. The Yellow Springs Ancient Path appeared beneath his feet, propelling his speed beyond that of the experts from the three great sacred lands, and even far surpassing the Heavenly Evil Star Saint, who was reduced to just a head. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the Heavenly Evil Star Saint’s head.
“Brat, if you dare kill me, you will die too!”
The Heavenly Evil Star Saint screamed in terror.
However, Ling Fan’s eyes held unwavering killing intent, completely disregarding the Heavenly Evil Star Saint’s outwardly strong but inwardly weak threat.
“I’ll fight you to the death! The might of a Saint cannot be insulted! Even with only a head, I can still kill you!”
The Heavenly Evil Star Saint gritted his teeth, and two brilliant beams of saintly light suddenly shot from his eyes, striking towards Ling Fan.
Chit chit!
These two incredibly powerful beams swept over Ling Fan, immediately leaving two terrifying bloody gashes on his body, nearly cleaving him in two. If not for Ling Fan’s exceptionally tough Nirvana Tribulation Body, any cultivator below the sixth stage of the Manifestation Saint realm would have been instantly cut in half.
Ling Fan acted as if he felt no pain, enduring the Heavenly Evil Star Saint’s attack. He condensed terrifying power into a single punch and fiercely slammed it into the Heavenly Evil Star Saint’s head.
Bang!
Amidst despairing screams, the Heavenly Evil Star Saint’s head exploded into a mist of blood, which Ling Fan greedily swallowed.
At that very moment.
The attacks from the other three great sacred land experts arrived, continuously exploding on Ling Fan’s body. The impact sent Ling Fan’s body violently shaking, flesh and blood flying, as he tumbled headfirst towards the Martial Continent Sacred River.
“Quick, grab him! Don’t let him fall into the Sacred River! Once he falls in, he’ll be crushed to smithereens by the river’s power, and we’ll get nothing!”
A powerful Saint exclaimed, reaching out to grab Ling Fan.
Without his reminder, the experts from the other three great sacred lands also moved to scoop him up.
“How could Ling dare to fall into your hands, you clowns, to be humiliated! Better to be shattered jade than intact tile.”
Ling Fan hardened his heart, his falling speed escalating. He actually urged his severely wounded, near-death body and, without hesitation, plunged headfirst into the Martial Continent Sacred River.
Splash splash.
A splash of water erupted.
Ling Fan’s body was immediately swallowed by the surging, turbulent Sacred River water, disappearing without a trace.
“Damn it!”
“Letting him die like this is too good for him.”
“He actually killed Heavenly Evil! Ah! Our Flying Star Holy Land is left with only two Saints!”
The Holy Lord of the Flying Star Holy Land was so enraged his lungs felt like they would burst.
The death of the Heavenly Evil Star Saint was one thing.
The crucial point was that he died without any value.
They failed to capture this brat, allowing him to take his supreme treasures and secrets into the Martial Continent Sacred River, leaving no remains.
If they could have captured this brat, it would have compensated for the losses of their Flying Star Holy Land.
“I don’t believe he’s sunk to the bottom so quickly! I want to see him alive or his corpse!”
The Flying Star Holy Lord was also a ruthless individual. Unwilling to accept this, he conjured a detailed handprint and fiercely thrust it into the turbulent Martial Continent Sacred River, attempting to retrieve Ling Fan’s remains before the Sacred River’s waters could obliterate him.
As soon as the large handprint he conjured entered the Sacred River, it was immediately corroded and compressed by the terrifying Sacred River water, making crackling sounds, as if white snow were exposed to a scorching sun.
After several breaths.
The handprint he had condensed with his power came up empty, completely destroyed by the Sacred River water.
“Hmph!”
His expression was extremely grim, and his heart was filled with unwillingness, but he could only accept this reality.
“Let’s go. This brat is definitely dead. Not to mention he’s just a minor Golden Core realm Martial Lord, even if he were a peerless Saint of the seventh or eighth stage of Manifestation Saint realm, he would be ground to dust. Only a Saint King of the ninth stage of Manifestation Saint realm can barely enter the Sacred River.”
“I lost a Grand Elder this time. None of you should contend with me for the Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint inheritance from that Undying Empress. I want to capture that woman to compensate for my Flying Star Holy Land’s losses!”
The Holy Lord of the Flying Star Holy Land said fiercely, his body leading the way as he flew out, his saintly path spreading beneath his feet, pursuing upstream.
“Let’s go too. This brat won’t survive. Even if he had a divine gold body, he’s already reduced to nothing. Killing that Undying Empress and that old man is more important now. We must not let them get there first and steal control of the Sacred River.”
The experts from the other sacred lands shook their heads regretfully and also flew upstream along the Martial Continent Sacred River.
