The Xuankong Gate suddenly closed.
The illusory ice demon began to collapse visibly.
Even the ice-blue battle armor itself emitted a series of cracking sounds under the immense pressure, with fissures spreading across it, bringing it close to the point of being scrapped.
Ling Fan's body also trembled violently.
His physical body, squeezed by the terrifying power of the Xuankong Gate, was almost shattered!
Several shocking cracks appeared on his robust physique, and crimson blood flowed, giving his expression a somewhat ferocious look.
However, protected by the ice-blue battle armor, although Ling Fan's injuries were extremely severe and his body was on the verge of disintegration, they were not fatal.
The battle armor had, after all, bought Ling Fan a sliver of precious time.
Without a second thought, Ling Fan, regardless of what pills they were, frantically pulled out a handful and threw them into his mouth.
While doing his best to recover his condition,
He flicked his finger.
A blood-red lightning bolt appeared at his fingertip.
As he pointed forward,
Immediately, the area where the Xuankong Gate was located erupted with a deafening roar. The Xuankong Gate, as sturdy as ever, its converging light portal began to collapse, appearing incredibly fragile under this sliver of blood-red lightning.
This wisp of blood-red lightning.
Was the minor success tribulation lightning of the Nirvana Tribulation Body.
Ling Fan had triggered a sliver of the minor success tribulation prematurely, and then, at a great cost, managed to capture this wisp of blood-red lightning tribulation.
Under the bombardment of this incredibly terrifying blood-red lightning,
Ling Fan finally managed to blast open a gap in the indestructible Xuankong Gate.
Then, dragging his heavily injured body, he leaped forward and tumbled out of the Xuankong Gate.
"My goodness, he… he broke in!"
"Holy crap…"
"What kind of strength does this person possess to be able to force his way through the Xuankong Gate…"
"Damn, is that for real… The Xuankong Gate is a top-tier Xuan-grade mid-rank spiritual artifact, and there are two experts at the Giant Spirit Realm inside controlling and operating the portal. I heard that even Great Accomplishment Kings might not be able to force their way through…"
"Hiss, when did our Liuyun Kingdom produce such a powerful individual…"
"He wants to forcefully enter the Upper Azure Realm, what is he planning to do in there!"
At this moment,
All the powerhouses from the Liuyun Royal Palace outside the Xuankong Gate saw this scene, and their jaws nearly dropped in shock.
But as the figure completely entered the Xuankong Gate, they could no longer see any of the scenes within the portal.
…
And at this time, within the Xuankong Gate.
Ling Fan's injuries were terrifying to an extreme, with shocking, spiderweb-like cracks covering his physique.
It was as if a shattered porcelain vase had been haphazardly pieced back together.
Even though he had consumed many pills and heavenly treasures, he could not mend such injuries in a short period.
The worst part was.
Two tall, formidable figures blocked his path.
They were precisely the two Giant Spirit Realm experts from the Upper Azure Realm guarding the Xuankong Gate.
"Heh heh, you brat have truly surprised this king. You actually managed to break in…"
Upon recalling the sliver of blood-red lightning that Ling Fan had used to break through the Xuankong Gate at the last moment.
These two Giant Spirit Realm experts couldn't help but feel a tremor of fear.
Fortunately, the blood-red lightning had been expended.
And this brat's physique was clearly in an extremely dire state, practically at the end of its rope.
Anyone else would likely not be able to withstand such severe injuries and would die on their own.
Therefore, these two did not consider Ling Fan a threat.
"Speak, who exactly are you, and what is your purpose in entering the Upper Azure Realm?"
One of the Giant Spirit Realm experts interrogated.
The other, the one whose bird was almost burned off by Ling Fan, revealed a sinister grin, stretched his muscles, and said, "If you dare to be disobedient, I will tear you apart bit by bit… Hmm, before that, I will first stomp your bird into a pulp to quell my hatred!"
Ling Fan chuckled.
Even though his current condition was extremely poor, his eyes still shot out a gaze of contempt.
He said, "With just the two of you, mere trash, even if I am heavily injured, how can you take advantage of my weakened state."
"A tiger fallen into the plains is not to be bullied by dogs!"
Ling Fan's words instantly enraged the two Giant Spirit Realm experts.
Hearing his implication, he was the tiger that had fallen into the plains,
And they were the dogs that took advantage of his predicament!
Damn it, this was outrageous.
"Good for you, you little brat who courted death. You're about to die, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of us!"
"I'll give you one last chance. Hand over your body-refining technique, and perhaps I can show mercy and spare your life. But while the capital offense can be waived, the living crime cannot be escaped. I will imprisonement you in the Martial Prison of the Upper Azure Realm, subjecting you to all sorts of torture as punishment for your presumption as a lowly being from the mortal world to trespass into the Upper Azure Realm!"
The Giant Spirit Realm expert's eyes flashed with greed.
Ling Fan's physical prowess had deeply shocked them.
Even though they were both Giant Spirit Realm kings, their bodies had become solid and powerful through the nourishment of spiritual energy.
But compared to Ling Fan, their physiques were as fragile as porcelain dolls.
Therefore, they desperately wanted to obtain Ling Fan's body-refining technique.
Ling Fan grinned.
His teeth were still stained with red blood.
"You trash, do you think you're worthy of cultivating my technique?"
"Stop wasting words with him. Capture him and torture him severely. I don't believe his mouth can remain as stubborn as it is now!"
One of the Giant Spirit Realm experts snorted coldly.
The two instantly lunged forward.
The terrifying, boundless Giant Spirit Realm pressure instantly transformed into a deafening roar, echoing before the Xuankong Gate. They moved in tandem, transforming into two colossal palms that suppressed Ling Fan from all directions.
"You are too underestimating and too overconfident."
"You're not even unfolding your spiritual energy domain?"
Ling Fan sneered coldly.
Although his current condition was very poor, and his physique and cultivation were almost unusable, he was not someone that two early-stage Giant Spirit Realm cultivators could act so presumptuously before.
Ling Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he quickly formed a hand seal.
As the Demonic Eye imprint quietly appeared,
The void behind Ling Fan suddenly rippled, as if some terrifying existence was about to break through the void.
"What's going on!"
"What is that!"
The two were greatly startled, because the aura emanating from behind Ling Fan made even Giant Spirit Realm experts like them feel a sense of fatal danger.
"Attack, attack! Don't give him a chance!"
The two no longer dared to be careless. Their spiritual energy domains suddenly expanded and merged, solidifying this realm's spiritual energy as they simultaneously flashed and teleported in front of Ling Fan.
Two powerful spiritual energies were unleashed.
They were about to blast Ling Fan to death.
However, at this moment.
A terrifying roar erupted from the void behind Ling Fan, accompanied by a demonic roar.
The void shattered and rolled back layer by layer, and a terrifying demonic claw covered in black scales suddenly emerged from behind the void.
