"Kong Yu, you're the one who trashed my cave dwelling? Heh, I suppose I'll have to teach you a thing or two about proper conduct."
Ling Fan chuckled.
He also stepped onto the combat stage.
Kong Yu was infuriated by Ling Fan's words. "You, a newcomer, dare to lecture me, Kong Yu, on rules! Today, I'll show you the consequences of offending me."
Kong Yu took a step forward, unleashing a powerful pressure far exceeding Gao Ya's. He seemed like a young, peerless Heavenly Emperor descending upon the mortal realm, intent on destroying everything and suppressing the four cardinal directions. He thrust a palm towards Ling Fan.
"Yu Huang's Four Extremes Palm!"
Boom!
A storm erupted on the combat stage.
A palm print, so detailed it seemed to capture every strand of hair, descended fiercely.
Ling Fan slightly raised his eyelids, channeling the power of heaven and earth into his hand. He also raised his palm and struck back.
Their collision immediately stirred up a terrifying storm. Ling Fan's body swayed slightly, while Kong Yu was forced to take a step back.
"I didn't expect you to grow so quickly!"
Kong Yu's eyes turned cold.
"If I had known, I should have ignored Lu Rui and killed you forcefully back then."
"Stop boasting. If you could do it, it's not too late to kill me now. I just fear you lack the strength." Ling Fan said with a chuckle.
Kong Yu frowned and roared, "Arrogant to the extreme!"
"Since you're seeking death, I shall grant it. Do you think I'm like that waste Gao Ya? He's only a half-step sixth-tier Xuan Emperor, but I... am a true sixth-tier Xuan Emperor."
Kong Yu's aura continued to climb, as if it would pierce the sky.
Suddenly, he surpassed a certain limit, like a dragon entering the sea, vast and boundless. His power surged to a level that astonished everyone.
Sixth-tier Xuan Emperor!
Countless gazes trembled.
"Die!"
Kong Yu's black hair flew wildly. His entire being was more domineering and powerful than before. He raised his hand and threw a punch, seemingly breaking through speed and surpassing space, striking Ling Fan's chest fiercely and sending him staggering back. His feet carved two deep furrows into the hard combat stage.
However, to everyone's surprise.
After taking the blow, Ling Fan brushed off his clothes as if dusting them.
He was completely unharmed!
"Did you not eat? Your fist is as soft as a woman's."
Ling Fan grinned, his words almost making Kong Yu spit blood.
"Let me show you what a real punch is."
The moment Ling Fan finished speaking, his body suddenly tore through the air, vanishing from everyone's sight.
The next moment.
Ling Fan ripped through the void and appeared before Kong Yu. His fist pulsed with immortal light. He unleashed a punch that didn't resemble a human fist, but rather a meteor forged from celestial divine metal, carrying terrifying flames as it hurtled towards Kong Yu.
"I am a dignified ancient powerhouse, a successor of Emperor Yu. My cultivated Yu Huang Undefeated Golden Body, my imperial physique, is unparalleled in the world. Do you think you can challenge me with your physical body? I am a full realm higher than you. This is like a moth flying into a flame."
Kong Yu snorted coldly.
A powerful luster also flowed from his body. He stood tall and robust, his presence domineering enough to swallow the heavens. His shoulders were broad enough to support the sky, and every inch of his flesh and blood seemed forged from supreme divine gold, without any flaws or weaknesses.
Bang!
Within the span of a thousandth of a blink, they exchanged hundreds of blows.
Everyone only heard a series of dense heavy impacts.
Then, in the next moment.
Blood light exploded.
Puff!
Ling Fan, bathed in the blood of Kong Yu's Yu Huang Undefeated Golden Body, shattered Kong Yu's body with a single punch, sending him flying back.
Yet, Ling Fan bore not even a single white mark on his person.
"How is this possible! My Yu Huang Undefeated Golden Body is inferior to yours!"
Kong Yu cried out in disbelief, his face so grim it looked like it could drip water.
His body suddenly sank, landing on the combat stage. The blood within him rumbled, and streams of divine light flowed and washed over him, rapidly healing his injuries.
Within a single breath, Kong Yu's physical body recovered, demonstrating the extraordinary nature of his body-refining techniques.
Seeing this outcome.
Countless disciples of the Qing Xuan Sect on the spectator stands let out gasps of cold air.
Kong Yu's strength was undeniable.
And now, having advanced to the sixth-tier Xuan Emperor, he was at the peak of his power, utterly invincible.
Yet, he had now fallen into a disadvantage. This result was truly unexpected.
"What Yu Huang Undefeated Golden Body? In my eyes, it's no different from a block of tofu, the kind that cracks open with a mere flick of the finger."
Ling Fan said with a contemptuous smile.
He wasn't in a hurry, as if this wasn't a life-or-death battlefield, but a leisurely stroll in a garden, calm and composed.
"You dare to underestimate me!"
Kong Yu's face twitched.
"I originally prepared a trump card for Gao Tian Shen. Since you're seeking death, I'll send you on your way first!"
Kong Yu snorted inwardly, and a dangerous aura suddenly emanated from his body.
A point of light ignited deep within his body.
Then.
This point of light grew brighter and brighter.
Brighter and brighter.
Until finally.
It seemed to transform into an unparalleled blazing sun, illuminating every inch of Kong Yu's flesh and blood with golden brilliance. He resembled a transcendent, peerless Heavenly Emperor, shrouded in billions of rays of light, exuding an aura of invincibility.
As he took a step forward, an unimaginably terrifying fluctuation erupted.
"Yu Huang's Profound Meaning, Yu Ji Kong Ming Finger!"
As Kong Yu's finger, as golden as the sun, pointed out,
A blurry, indistinct phantom appeared behind him, pointing to the sky and stepping on the earth, truly dominating heaven and earth.
An indescribable aura swept across the eight directions.
As this phantom followed Kong Yu's pointed finger,
Space instantly collapsed.
Infinite might descended like world-destroying destruction.
"Kong Yu is indeed a successor of an ancient Heavenly Emperor. That object within his body should be the remains of a Heavenly Emperor, which he has integrated into his body."
"Kong Yu has even resorted to such a move. He's fighting with his life on the line."
"That Fan Lin is in danger."
In the void above True Inheritance Peak.
Powerful intentions surged forth.
Even Qian Shan Xuan Emperor, who was presiding over the battle, couldn't help but sweat for Ling Fan.
In a flash.
That finger, imbued with infinite killing intent, arrived before Ling Fan.
Ling Fan slightly raised his gaze.
Infinite power surged within his body, his body restless.
"This strike is somewhat decent."
Ling Fan licked his lips, a fighting spirit appearing in his eyes.
As the power of an eternal torrent surged into his arm within the body that had integrated the semi-finished Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal.
As he raised his hand and threw a punch.
A power torrent that pierced through heaven and earth shot straight into the nine heavens, colliding with that forbidden finger that dominated heaven and earth.
"Boom boom boom!"
Terrifying fluctuations swept across billions of spaces.
If Qian Shan Xuan Emperor hadn't intervened in time to contain the aftershocks within the combat stage.
The residual power of their clash would have been enough to kill ninety-nine percent of the Qing Xuan Sect disciples present.
When the terrifying fluctuations on the combat stage finally subsided.
A figure stood tall amidst the dust.
And opposite this figure.
A severely mangled, dying figure lay on the ground.
Everyone's gaze trembled.
Because they saw that the standing figure was Ling Fan.
And the one who had fallen...
Was Kong Yu!
Kong Yu had lost.
"Hiss"
Countless gasps of cold air spread.
The entire venue fell into a moment of dead silence.
Lu Rui and Guo Gui trembled uncontrollably with tension.
Lu Rui and Long Xuan also broke out in a cold sweat for Ling Fan, then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Qian Shan Xuan Emperor hadn't expected this outcome, and his gaze towards Ling Fan became increasingly astonished.
