Under the guidance of several ancient Demon Venerables from the Demon Realm, over twenty Heavenly Venerable overlords from the major Heavenly Realms jointly channeled a vast river of power into the Nine-Layered God Conferment Platform. Instantly, boundless lightning erupted, and an incredibly terrifying, incredibly sacred aura exploded from the platform.
More than twenty Heavenly Venerable overlords represented almost the most powerful force in all the myriad realms. Their combined might was something even supreme experts who surpassed the Heavenly Venerable realm would not dare to underestimate. Furthermore, with the power of over twenty overlords activating the God Conferment Platform, a supreme artifact from the ancient God Era, the resulting power was beyond imagination and carried a special destructive might. This was the confidence that led the ancient Demon Venerables of the Demon Realm to believe that Qingyun Emperor would utterly fall here this time.
"God Conferment Annihilation Array! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Several Demon Venerable powerhouses, with excited and perverse smiles, knew they were about to eliminate the legendary figure Qingyun Emperor, how could they not be thrilled?
Rumble!
The God Conferment Platform seemed to have fully awakened, shaking violently. The light it emitted grew even more brilliant and dazzling, as if billions of Heavenly Realm great suns had exploded within it. Terrifying power transformed into a boundless ocean, engulfing everything and surging towards Ling Fan, who was between the eighth and ninth layers.
"This time, Qingyun Emperor will have no chance of survival. This harbinger of disaster can finally be ended," an ancient Demon Venerable powerhouse stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"Heh heh, good riddance! Only when he dies can we be at ease," a powerful Demon Venerable from the Celestial Beast Realm exclaimed with gleaming eyes.
"It's too good a deal for him, hmph!"
A living fossil from the Dragon Clan in the Celestial Dragon Realm snorted coldly.
He had not forgotten how Ling Fan had participated in the Dragon Transformation Battle, slaughtering all the Dragon Clan prodigies as his stepping stones. How could such deep-seated hatred be dispelled or resolved by a single word from the Supreme Ancestral Dragon?
Now that they were within the ruins of the God Battlefield, even the Supreme Ancestral Dragon's reach was too short to extend here.
"Is he really dead?"
On the side of the Central Heavenly Court.
Grand Void Heavenly Venerable's expression was cautious. He was not as optimistic as the overlords from the Demon Realm, Celestial Beast Realm, and Celestial Dragon Realm.
As a former subordinate of Qingyun Emperor, he understood Qingyun Emperor's terrifying and monstrous nature too well. It was precisely because of this understanding that he held deep reverence for Qingyun Emperor. Even with Ling Fan's return from rebirth, this reverence had not diminished much.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, however, was not as cautious and careful as Grand Void Heavenly Venerable.
In his opinion, Ling Fan was certain to die this time.
Let alone his rebirth, even in his prime, he might not have been able to withstand the ultimate killing formation of the God Conferment Platform activated by so many Heavenly Venerable overlords.
Under the gaze of many pairs of sharp eyes.
The activity of the God Conferment Platform grew more intense. The pressure made the Heavenly Venerable overlords' scalps tingle. Was this the core divine artifact of the ancient God Era? It was truly terrifying.
But in the next moment.
The eyes of all the Heavenly Venerable overlords widened in horror.
They saw that the area where Ling Fan was located suddenly transformed into a massive vortex, like a bottomless black hole, erupting with unimaginable suction and devouring power, beginning to absorb and swallow the power of the entire God Conferment Platform.
Rumble!
For a time.
The power of the God Conferment Platform leaked out like a hole in the seabed, pouring in frantically.
This sudden turn of events caught all the Heavenly Venerable overlords off guard.
What was happening?
The toad's eyes darted, and it shouted, "Quick! Hurry and increase your strength! This must be the God Conferment Platform completely annihilating that bastard Qingyun Emperor! It's just a little bit more, don't give him a chance to breathe!"
"Yes, this toad is right! We must not fail at the last step. Let's go all out and send him to his demise!"
The ancient Demon Venerables of the Demon Realm had grim expressions and made a decision, increasing their power to activate the God Conferment Platform. The experts from the other Heavenly Realms looked at each other and could only follow suit. After all, they were in too deep now. Even if they had some doubts, they could only grit their teeth and continue.
Boom boom boom!
The combined power of so many eight-dao, and even nine-dao, Heavenly Venerable overlords was a terrifying force capable of shaking the heavens and earth, overturning all realms. At this moment, it was poured into the God Conferment Platform, causing the platform to awaken even more thoroughly. A more vast and transcendent power surged out from its depths.
"Hahaha, if not for setting up this trap, I wouldn't have been able to activate the God Conferment Platform with my own strength alone. Thanks to all of you!"
Ling Fan's laughter suddenly echoed from the God Conferment Platform.
All the Heavenly Venerable overlords' hearts sank.
Thump!
They cried out, "Bad!"
"Quickly withdraw your power! It's a trap!" Grand Void Heavenly Venerable thought to himself that something was wrong, and his bad premonition had come true.
Unfortunately, it was too late for them to withdraw their power now.
Ling Fan, bathed in the boundless divine light of the God Conferment Platform, with countless origins and great daos flowing like plasma, his aura surged wildly, heading towards the nine-dao Heavenly Venerable realm.
Soon, his aura broke through the bottleneck of the nine-dao Heavenly Venerable realm, and his speed showed no signs of slowing down, advancing triumphantly towards the peak of the ten-dao Heavenly Venerable realm.
At this moment.
All the Heavenly Venerable overlord powerhouses from the major Heavenly Realms felt as if they had been doused with a basin of ice water from head to toe, their entire bodies chilled!
Because the pressure emanating from Ling Fan now was too terrifying, making them feel a sense of dread, as if the peerlessly invincible Qingyun Emperor of their past lives had reappeared before them.
"Let's go!"
Grand Void Heavenly Venerable made a decisive move. He no longer harbored any hope of surrounding and killing Ling Fan and turned to leave.
Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, however, hesitated.
Because although Ling Fan's power was now approaching the ten-dao Heavenly Venerable realm, he was still alone. Their side had over twenty Heavenly Venerable overlords from several major Heavenly Realms. With their combined might, they might still be able to kill Qingyun Emperor.
As long as they could kill Qingyun Emperor today, this trip would not be in vain. Upon their return, Grand Heavenly Venerable Dao Yi would surely bestow generous rewards.
"Thunder Punishment!"
Grand Void Heavenly Venerable paused and urged him.
"Tai Xu, why are you so timid? The advantage is still on our side now. We were able to surround and kill him once before. Now that he has fallen from the ranks of the supreme experts, are we, so many overlords, still afraid that we can't kill him!"
Thunder Punishment instead felt that Grand Void Heavenly Venerable was too cowardly, his courage shattered by Qingyun Emperor.
Grand Void Heavenly Venerable shook his head and turned to leave.
But at this moment.
A figure slowly descended from the God Conferment Platform.
Though it seemed slow.
Yet, with the rotation of the stars and the movement of the earth beneath his feet, he instantly appeared in front of Grand Void Heavenly Venerable.
Grand Void Heavenly Venerable's heart sank, and he was suddenly startled.
Without any preamble, he immediately unleashed his full power, nine streams of power surging forth, transforming into a world-shattering palm strike that slashed towards Ling Fan's head.
Bang!
