"Little Fan, you must not force yourself!"
"When have I ever forced myself? Don't worry, a mere six-star martial nation, let alone a mere Tianyun Kingdom, even an eight-star martial holy land, I can come and go as I please."
Ling Fan said.
...
Two days later.
The day the Martial King Battlefield opened arrived.
Tianyun Royal City was deserted.
Almost all the strong individuals had gone to the central area of the royal city to witness the opening of the Martial King Battlefield.
Tianyun Mountain.
The location of the Tianyun Royal Palace where the Tianyun royal family resided.
Legend had it that this was originally an endless plain. A thousand years ago, a meteor from beyond the heavens suddenly descended and landed on this plain.
After this meteor fell, it floated without descending and continuously released extremely dense heavenly spiritual energy, forming an extremely rare divine cultivation ground.
After being discovered by the ancestors of the Tianyun royal family, they occupied this place and built the Tianyun Palace, which floated in the air.
The entry passage for the Tianyun Kingdom to the Martial King Battlefield was within this Tianyun Palace.
...
At this moment.
Below the Tianyun Palace, which floated in the sky, countless strong individuals from the Tianyun Kingdom had already gathered.
Everyone looked up, gazing with reverence at the majestic floating palace complex, like a heavenly palace where gods resided.
And within the Tianyun Palace.
The Condensing Core realm powerhouses of the Tianyun royal family and the seven Great Martial Venerable families had gathered.
Figures with extremely profound auras exuded suffocating pressure.
There were even more Void Core realm powerhouses, too many to count with ten hands.
Not to mention the Giant Spirit realm martial artists, their numbers were even more countless.
Truly a gathering of numerous experts.
As hundreds of Giant Spirit realm geniuses who were about to enter the Martial King Battlefield entered the Tianyun Palace, the atmosphere within the Tianyun Palace became even more fervent.
However, no one mentioned the matter of opening the Martial King Battlefield passage.
Everyone waited in tacit understanding.
Because they were waiting for someone.
Waiting for a couple!
To see if the two of them had the courage to appear before the Tianyun Palace.
Among the geniuses.
Princess Xiyue appeared somewhat worried.
She prayed silently, hoping that Ling Fan and Xue Yi would not appear, and preferably would leave the Tianyun Kingdom far away.
On the side of the Tianyun royal family.
The Sixth Prince had a sinister expression, his eyes filled with coldness.
Before him stood a youth wearing a jade crown, with fiery eyes and a body as strong as a dragon.
This youth was precisely the Crown Prince of the Tianyun Kingdom, Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang said, "Sixth Brother, how has your investigation been these past few days? Have you figured out Ling Fan's identity?"
The Sixth Prince, Liu Bing, replied, "Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, your subordinate has urgently dispatched people to the Liuyun Kingdom. Rushing day and night, we finally clarified that this Ling Fan comes from Jiangnan City in the Liuyun Kingdom. His family had fallen, and he was adopted by the Lan family. Later, the Lan family married Lan Xueyi to him, and he became their live-in son-in-law."
"This person was initially known as a notorious prodigal and a good-for-nothing, unable to cultivate martial arts. However, more than half a year ago, this Ling Fan suddenly seemed to have awakened. His martial arts progress was rapid, and his strength far surpassed his apparent realm. You should know about the Shangcang Secret Realm in the Liuyun Kingdom, right? It was destroyed by this person!"
Liu Chuang nodded.
"And..."
"And what."
"The envoy of the Great Perfection of the Giant Spirit realm that we sent to the Liuyun Kingdom to summon new Martial Kings to participate in the Martial King Battlefield is dead! He was killed by that toad of his!"
The Sixth Prince said.
"Good! I didn't expect him to dare to kill an envoy of my Tianyun Kingdom. He is truly lawless!"
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Liu Chuang's eyes.
"Since his identity is known and his family has been found, what about the people of the Lan family? Have they been captured?"
Cold light flickered in Liu Chuang's eyes.
The Sixth Prince, Liu Bing, replied, "This... No! Your subordinate underestimated the Liuyun Kingdom and only sent a few cultivators in the middle stage of the Giant Spirit realm, thinking it would be enough to sweep through the Liuyun Kingdom. Who knew that the Lan Family Fort was protected by an extremely powerful formation, which the cultivators in the middle stage of the Giant Spirit realm could not shake. Moreover, there was also a strong cultivator in the late stage of the Giant Spirit realm and a toad demon in the middle stage of the Giant Spirit realm in the Liuyun Kingdom, which also caused great obstacles to our actions..."
"If that's the case, then forget it. It's not too late to kill this Ling Fan first and then exterminate his nine generations. Those who dare to defy the Tianyun royal family must pay the price."
Liu Chuang said indifferently.
"Yes!"
The Sixth Prince wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lowered his head.
"Everyone, when that Ling Fan arrives later, please assist this Crown Prince in capturing and killing him! To uphold the national prestige."
The Crown Prince of Tianyun, Liu Chuang, said loudly.
Around him, those incomparably powerful Condensing Core realm experts nodded one after another.
"Since the Crown Prince has spoken, how dare we not comply."
"Don't worry, Crown Prince, we will do our best."
"This person is extremely arrogant and dares to oppose the Tianyun Kingdom. This is seeking his own destruction. Even if the Crown Prince did not order it, we cannot allow such a madman to run rampant in the Tianyun Kingdom!"
Seeing the Condensing Core realm experts of the Tianyun Kingdom express their stance, the Crown Prince of Tianyun smiled slightly and nodded.
"They're here! They're here!"
At this moment.
A commotion arose in the crowd.
Someone was seen breaking through the air from below.
"My goodness, could it be that Ling Fan has really come?"
"Does he really have the courage? I don't believe it!"
"He knows that the Tianyun Palace has already set up a trap for him, so it would be a ghost if he dared to come!"
Seeing the streak of rainbow light appear, the surging crowd erupted in a clamor, everyone staring intently at the streak of rainbow light, wanting to see who it was.
Soon.
This streak of rainbow light landed among the floating palaces.
From the streak of rainbow light, two people emerged, along with a toad.
It was precisely Ling Fan, Xue Yi, and Mo Dazui.
"Holy cow! It's really that Ling Fan!"
"This person is truly audacious. How dare he appear!"
In the Tianyun Palace, the Giant Spirit realm geniuses who had seen Ling Fan before let out exclamations, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Princess Xiyue also covered her mouth in surprise.
On the side of the Tianyun royal family.
The moment Ling Fan appeared, sharp beams of light shot from the Sixth Prince's eyes, staring fixedly at Ling Fan.
"Ling, you really have guts! You actually dare to come and die. I will fulfill your wish!"
The Sixth Prince gritted his teeth and said.
Ling Fan glanced at him disdainfully and said, "You trash, are you even worthy of speaking?"
The Sixth Prince was choked by Ling Fan's contemptuous words, almost spitting blood.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Brother! Quickly order this person to be torn to shreds."
The Sixth Prince urged.
The Crown Prince of Tianyun ignored him.
He said coldly, "No hurry. Since this person has walked into the net, he can no longer escape. It's time to open the passage to the Martial King Battlefield. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to open it."
As the Crown Prince of Tianyun gave the order, over a dozen Condensing Core realm Martial Venerable experts from various major forces made their move.
More than a dozen vast streams of spiritual power, accompanied by earth-shattering roars, surged towards the sky above the Tianyun Palace.
Soon, the void suddenly shattered, and a dark, gaping hole appeared.
