The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince roared.
He did not want to waste this hard-won advantage.
"Stop! I will never let you succeed, even if I die!"
The Wu Family Ancestor, fearless of death, charged towards the three Ninth Tier Heavenly Emperors.
"Hmph, you old fool are truly stubborn. To protect a dead thing, you'd even risk your own life. Then I shall fulfill your wish!"
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince sneered viciously.
As he pointed his finger,
The terrifying White Bone Grand Venerable creaked as it turned its body, its empty eye sockets fixing onto the Wu Family Ancestor.
*Bang!*
A colossal white bone palm, covered in countless runes, shot out.
A faint residual power of an Emperor permeated the air.
The Wu Family Ancestor, unable to resist, was blasted away by this bone palm, crashing heavily onto the ground, spitting blood uncontrollably, his Emperor Dao laws showing signs of dissipation.
One must remember that this White Bone Grand Venerable was a supreme treasure puppet comparable to a peak Ninth Tier Heavenly Emperor.
How could the Wu Family Ancestor possibly contend with it?
Having dealt with the Wu Family Ancestor, the Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince did not rush to kill him. Instead, he turned and walked towards the palace gate with the You Family Ancestor and Emperor Song.
"Woof!"
An enraged roar echoed.
This time,
The gap in the door widened further.
A monstrous maw, as if to swallow the heavens and earth, lunged towards the three of them.
The three of them saw it clearly this time.
It was a colossal yellow dog.
Its fur was golden and radiant.
One of its paws was bleeding.
Clearly, it was an injury sustained from being torn by the White Bone Grand Venerable just moments ago.
Its appearance
Was like the mongrel dogs commonly seen in rural villages.
It wore a collar around its neck.
Attached to the collar was a thick chain, clanking loudly.
As this great dog charged out, the chain also became taut.
"Heh, a mere mongrel dares to act fierce!"
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince sneered. The White Bone Grand Venerable stepped out from behind him, its five bone claws as sharp as heavenly blades, tearing five massive bloody gashes across the dog, swatting it back.
But the next moment,
The great yellow dog charged forward again. If not for the chain binding it, it would have already broken free.
Now, it could only bite at the White Bone puppet.
The two collided fiercely.
"This dog is a Half-Step Emperor!"
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince exclaimed with some alarm.
"This is too damn bizarre! This is clearly the most ordinary mongrel, yet it has cultivated to Half-Step Emperor. This cannot be described as a miracle. Could this truly be that person's palace!"
"Fortunately, fortunately! The dog's strength is largely suppressed by that collar and chain, and its movements are also restricted. Otherwise, we would surely die!"
"The White Bone Grand Venerable cannot kill it, at most it can suppress it. Hurry, while my White Bone Grand Venerable is holding it, let's sneak in from the side!"
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince, sensing something amiss, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, quickly urged.
"Alright!"
The You Family Ancestor and Emperor Song responded with a mixture of fear and excitement.
As the three were about to enter the gate,
Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed.
A massive shadow descended.
The three, breaking out in cold sweat, quickly dodged.
It turned out the White Bone Grand Venerable, with its two bone claws pressing down on the great yellow dog, had slammed it hard against the gatepost.
However, this also
Blocked the path for the three.
"Idiot! Why are you blocking my way!" The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince was furious, his lungs about to explode.
The White Bone puppet remained emotionless to the Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince's curses.
"Damn it, you're just a puppet, cursing you is useless, a waste of breath!"
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince quickly communicated with the White Bone Grand Venerable using his divine sense, asking it to move aside.
But the great yellow dog was stubbornly biting at one of the White Bone Grand Venerable's arm bones, preventing the White Bone Grand Venerable from standing up.
As the situation remained in a stalemate,
*Clack!*
Another footstep landed on the ground of the palace.
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince, the You Family Ancestor, and Emperor Song were all stunned.
What was going on?
There were only four Ninth Tier Heavenly Emperors who had entered this place.
The Wu Family Ancestor was already down.
Who else would enter here?
The three instinctively turned their heads.
They saw a young figure with gray hair slowly descending from an ancient stone bridge.
"It's you, you little brat!"
The You Family Ancestor glared ferociously at Ling Fan.
Ling Fan had killed many, many You Family powerhouses earlier, and the You Family Ancestor hated Ling Fan to the bone.
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince's expression was not much better than the You Family Ancestor's.
Ling Fan had killed a Divine Artifact Tower's Soldier Master right in front of him, an Eighth Tier Heavenly Emperor, which was a significant loss for their Divine Artifact Tower.
However,
If the Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince knew that all seven Soldier Masters had been killed by Ling Fan,
He would likely be so enraged that he would die on the spot.
Emperor Song looked at Ling Fan in astonishment.
He never would have imagined that
The young man he had dismissed so easily had successfully traversed the boundless Heavenly Realm's space-time and arrived here!
If not for the Wu Family Ancestor's obstruction earlier,
He would have already killed this person in the Wu Family.
Now, this person had become an unpredictable variable.
The three exchanged glances.
None dared to be careless.
A person who could barely contend with an Eighth Tier Heavenly Emperor appearing here was enough to explain many things.
Ling Fan ignored the three.
Instead, with a touch of emotion and nostalgia, he surveyed the palace.
When he saw the heavily injured Wu Family Ancestor lying on the ground,
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
And when he saw the ferocious, menacing great yellow dog, pinned to the gatepost by the White Bone Grand Venerable,
His eyelids twitched.
A chilling killing intent surged out, covering the sky.
The temperature around him plummeted,
As if entering the depths of winter.
*Clack!*
*Clack!*
Ling Fan walked step by step towards the palace gate.
"How about it, shall we kill this kid?"
The You Family Ancestor licked his lips and said with a sinister grin.
The Divine Artifact Tower's Crown Prince raised his hand and said, "No need for unnecessary actions. This presumptuous brat doesn't know his place. As long as he dares to approach, he will either be torn apart by my White Bone Grand Venerable or by that foolish dog. Perhaps we can take advantage of him distracting that dog and sneak into the palace!"
The You Family Ancestor's eyes lit up, and he immediately flattered, "Your Highness is brilliant!"
The three did not intervene.
Instead, they watched as Ling Fan approached the palace gate and the entangled White Bone Grand Venerable and the great yellow dog.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The great yellow dog bared its teeth and growled angrily at Ling Fan.
It suddenly bucked upwards,
Actually knocking the White Bone puppet aside.
The great yellow dog's two blood-red eyes fixed on Ling Fan, the fur around its neck bristling.
Its body lowered,
As if if Ling Fan took another step closer, it would charge forward and tear Ling Fan to shreds.
However, Ling Fan showed no signs of caution.
Instead, he looked at the great yellow dog with gentle eyes.
