“I am giving you a chance!”
Tian Fan spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping over the dozen people before him.
His words were indifferent, devoid of any killing intent, yet they sent chills down their spines. Even though Tian Fan did not deliberately release his aura, the powerful divine energy fluctuations within him instilled fear in everyone present.
“You little b*stard, you won’t be smug for long! Our Yin-Yang Sect’s former sect master is already out there, and your death is imminent!”
Yin Shitian stood among the crowd, laughing viciously. Beside him stood two elderly men, their auras steady and their expressions emotionlessâclearly not ordinary figures.
Hearing this, Tian Fan turned his head and looked over indifferently. A golden gleam flickered in his eyes, and an overwhelming mental force shot forth soundlessly, striking Yin Shitian in an instant. He was sent flying, letting out a miserable scream as he convulsed uncontrollably, clutching his head in agony.
“How dare you!”
One of the white-haired elders beside Yin Shitian roared in anger, extending a large, earth-toned palm and pressing forward. The space trembled with a deafening rumbleâit was a force akin to divine laws.
“Old geezer!”
Tian Fan sneered, unfazed. He raised his golden right hand, stirring up a violent gust that seemed to tear through the void itself.
“AhâŚ!”
The elder let out a scream as his right hand was instantly shattered. He staggered backward, step by step.
Many onlookers in the distance trembled in fear at this sight. That elder was a genuine peak Cloud Heaven expert, yet his hand had been crushed by a single strike. It was terrifying beyond words.
“Kill him! Heâs alone!”
Seeing that Shangguan Yunfeng and the others had already retreatedâclearly under Tian Fan’s ordersâHuangpu Han’s face darkened as he shouted to the people in the arena.
Boom!
The Crimson Cloud Killing Formation roared to life, unleashing crimson beams even thicker and more terrifying than before, rivaling the full-force strike of a peak Cloud Heaven expert. This was an immensely dreadful power. If a peak Cloud Heaven cultivator went all out, their attack could easily wipe out an entire town. They were the undisputed dominators beneath the Chaos Realm.
At the same time, over a dozen beams of treasure light shot into the sky as the assailants launched another assault on Tian Fan. Though apprehensive, they knew that their numbers were on their side, and with an unparalleled killing formation capable of destroying even a peak Cloud Heaven expert, the battleâs outcome remained uncertain.
“Kill!”
A dozen people shouted in unison, utterly ruthless. There was no other way. As Tian Fan had saidâit was either their lives or his. To eliminate their opponent in one decisive battle, to claim benefits for the Yin-Yang Sect and the Huangpu clan, and, most importantly, to ensure their own survival, they had no choice but to fight desperately.
A golden divine tablet shot out, instantly enlarging a thousandfold, enveloping the entire killing formation. Countless ancient golden characters on its surface absorbed the world’s spiritual energy and seemed to come to life, revolving around the tablet in a dazzling display before pressing down upon Tian Fan.
On another side, a golden gourd soared into the sky, unleashing an endless stream of violet flames. The raging inferno spread within the killing formation, as though it sought to incinerate the world itself. The scorching heat blackened the earth beneath.
To the west, a grand treasure cauldron rose, its aura vast and powerful, radiating divine light in the sky. A dragonâs roar echoed from within, and the massive cauldron descended with crushing force. A thunderous explosion erupted as it hit the ground, sending shattered rocks flying in all directionsâit was as if a massive earthquake had struck.
“What terrifying power! Even a mid-stage Cloud Heaven cultivator would be killed in an instant!”
“Indeed! The combined attack of over a dozen Cloud Heaven experts is truly frightening!”
Many observers in the distance frowned, including some peak Cloud Heaven experts who couldnât help but feel uneasy at the overwhelming display.
There was a sayingâ”Even ants can bite an elephant to death.” No matter how strong Tian Fan was, no matter how he rivaled peak Cloud Heaven masters, the sheer number of opponents was daunting.
“Big Brother, do you think that kid will be okay? This attack looks seriously terrifying!”
Shangguan Jingyi frowned as he watched countless divine weapons and treasures unleash their might. He wasnât confident he could withstand such an assault.
“I donât know⌠Let’s just watch for now⌔
Shangguan Yunfeng also furrowed his brows but did not step in to help. Since Tian Fan had instructed them not to interfere, it meant he had the confidence to handle it.
Boom!
As the overwhelming energy waves finally dissipated, all eyes turned toward the battlefield. What greeted them was a devastated landscapeâcharred, sunken earth spanning a hundred meters in all directions.
Yet, atop a lone pillar of earth, a white-clad youth stood calmly. A golden aura shielded him, repelling every attack. Even the ground beneath his feet remained untouched by destruction.
The distant spectators were dumbfounded, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.
What the hell was going on?! Did he just stand there and let them attack, completely unscathed?! How was that even possible?!
Within the Crimson Cloud Killing Formation, the dozen Cloud Heaven experts instinctively stepped back, fear gripping their hearts.
Eleven Cloud Heaven mastersâsome even at mid-stage Cloud Heavenâhad joined forces, yet they couldnât even harm that elegant-looking youth.
Tian Fan sneered, his expression indifferent. He took a light step forward, yet it seemed akin to legendary teleportationâhe instantly appeared beside a Cloud Heaven early-stage expert.
No grand divine technique. No overwhelming pressure.
Just a single golden iron fist crashing down.
“Pu⌔
Despite his desperate attempts to defend himselfâpouring out all his divine powerâthe young man could not alter his fate. His arms were shattered instantly, and the golden fist pierced straight through his chest. With a slight shake, his body disintegrated into countless fragments.
He was the young master of a small Northern Territory clan, a so-called genius who had cultivated arduously for nearly thirty years to reach the Cloud Heaven Realm. His clan had placed high hopes on him, yet now, he perished in Tianyun City.
Boom!
A golden divine tablet came crashing down, shaking the void with a thunderous roar. Its immense aura surged outward as countless golden ancient characters swirled across its surface, resembling a colossal golden dragon.
This was a treasured artifact, one so valuable that even the heirs of the seven great martial holy lands were envious.
Boom!
Tian Fan remained calm and unafraid. His golden fists struck upward with unstoppable force, causing the void to tremble violently. The distortions in space were so intense that they were visible to the naked eye.
“My heavens, is he even human?”
“Even a Primordial Unity Realm expert’s physique isn’t this terrifying!”
Many cultivators were in shock. This was no longer the power of a mere humanâit was more like the overwhelming might of a savage dragon.
Boom! Boom!
Tian Fanâs expression remained indifferent as he continuously launched his golden fists upward. The golden divine plaque trembled under his relentless strikes, emitting a humming sound, like the terrified whimper of someone trapped in a desperate situation.
The owner of the divine plaque had turned deathly pale. Summoning this secret treasure had already drained him immensely, and his divine power was now incredibly weak. The intense tremors shook his body, causing his blood and Qi to surge chaotically.
Boom!
A dazzling golden radiance erupted from Tian Fanâs right fist. With a thunderous roar, he unleashed another powerful strike.
With a sharp “crack,” the golden divine plaque finally shattered into countless fragments, which rained down onto the ground. The ancient golden inscriptions on it gradually dimmed and vanished into the air.
As his treasured artifact was destroyed, the divine plaqueâs owner coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot. His anguished scream was filled with utter despair. The veins on his forehead bulged as he glared at Tian Fan with boundless hatred in his eyes.
“You brought this upon yourself!”
Tian Fan snorted coldly. Activating his Divine Cloud Steps, he vanished without leaving even a shadow behind. In the next instant, he suddenly reappeared right beside the divine plaqueâs owner, his golden palm striking downward.
After breaking into the mid-stage of the Cloud Heaven Realm, Tian Fan had mastered Divine Cloud Steps with ease, achieving true supreme speed. Most people couldnât even track his movements.
Splurt!
The golden divine plaqueâs owner was annihilatedâhis head was smashed straight into his chest. Bright red blood splattered through the air, dyeing the ground beneath him.
The son of the Golden Spirit Hallâs master had fallen!
“You’re ruthless! How can you be so cruel?”
A young man at the early stage of the Cloud Heaven Realm trembled as he spoke, staring at Tian Fan in terror. He was an heir of a small sect.
“Ruthless? Cruel?” Tian Fan sneered. “Which one of you had a personal grudge against me? Yet more than a dozen of you joined forces to kill meâis that not ruthless?”
His words were filled with contempt.
“Attack! There’s no point reasoning with a demon like him! Kill him now, before he brings calamity upon the world!”
Huangpu Han swept his gaze over more than twenty black-clad figures in the distance. Seeing that they had no intention of assisting, he once again channeled his divine power into the crimson battle flag in his hands.
Boom!
Within the Crimson Cloud Killing Formation, over a dozen streaks of crimson killing intent surged forth, pressing toward Tian Fan. At the same time, the remaining ten Cloud Heaven experts launched their attacksâsome wielding divine abilities, others summoning powerful artifacts. The sky was instantly engulfed in a dazzling sea of multicolored energy.
“You all go too! Kill that little beast and take his d*mned head!”
At this moment, Yin Shitian, with the help of two elderly experts, finally broke free from the Heartless Mind Seal. Without hesitation, he issued a cold command to his subordinates.
“Ninefold Unity⌔
A serene voice resonated from within the sea of energy. Tian Fan stepped forward using Divine Cloud Steps, emerging in an instant.
Eighty-one silver sword beams manifested around him, forming a dazzling lotus bloom. A sacred aura radiated from the scene, filling the air.
Splurt!
A cultivator who had just broken into the Cloud Heaven Realm failed to retreat in time. He was instantly torn apart by the eighty-one sword beams, reduced to nothing but a mist of blood.
Tian Fanâs expression remained icy and indifferent, his robes untainted by blood. He unleashed his Phantom Hundred Shifts technique, causing countless afterimages to appear throughout the Crimson Cloud Killing Formation.
Scarlet killing intent rampaged through the formation, leaving only dust and deep blackened craters in its wake. Yet, amidst the destruction, Tian Fanâs true form remained elusive and untouchable.
Boom!
From the heavens above, a wave of destructive energy descended, exerting an oppressive force over the entire battlefield.
A massive silver sword aura materialized, radiating endless waves of annihilation.
“Ahhh⌔
A miserable scream rang out. The son of the Eastern Ridge Islandâs master was struck down. He barely had time to let out a single cry before being utterly obliteratedâhis entire body reduced to dust by the sheer power of the silver sword aura.
The many cultivators spectating from afar felt their hearts pound wildly in fear.
The white-robed youth standing amidst the battlefield had delicate features, yet he resembled a demonic overlord.
One after another, he slaughtered the heirs of the great sects without hesitation, his every action filled with terrifying ruthlessness.
An uncontrollable chill ran down their spinesâŚ
