With this punch, the boundless martial dao origin power in the Wuzhou Sacred River was stirred. The punch surged forward, continuously devouring the power of heaven and earth. By the end, this punch had grown to an unimaginable level, even surpassing Ling Fan's own strength, and it collided with the saber light.
Rumble!
At that moment.
The Wuzhou Sacred River boiled completely, surging wildly.
A cracking sound was heard.
The War Demon Saint Lord's eyes widened in horror. He saw that the Heavenly Demon Saber Art, which he had unleashed with all his might, was shattered like glass by Ling Fan's fist light. The fist light then struck his body, completely obliterating his towering demonic form, sending countless fragments of flesh flying.
"Ah! What martial skill is this? I used a supreme secret technique, an Emperor Dao ultimate art! Who exactly are you!"
The War Demon Saint Lord let out a soul-wrenching scream. A dark demonic soul escaped from the shattered physical body, shrieking and attempting to flee.
However, before it could escape the Wuzhou Sacred River, a divine cauldron that suppressed the myriad realms of heaven and earth descended with a roar, directly capturing its demonic soul.
Boom boom boom!
Even without its physical body, the War Demon Saint Lord was incredibly ferocious. It struggled wildly within the Samsara Divine Cauldron, causing the cauldron to emit a deafening roar.
Ling Fan snorted coldly. Within the Samsara Divine Cauldron, the Ancient Road of the Yellow Springs appeared, and countless Yellow Springs Sacred Waters submerged the War Demon Saint Lord's demonic soul, dragging it towards eternal damnation. The War Demon Saint Lord still resisted, and a phantom image of a Bridge of Helplessness was erected above its head, unleashing unparalleled suppression. This time, the War Demon Saint Lord fell completely silent.
"This is the entire wealth of the three great sacred land powerhouses. Inside are some good quality pills. Hurry up and recover from your injuries."
Ling Fan flicked his finger, and storage spiritual artifacts fell into Xue Yi and the Demon Suppressing Grand Elder's hands. The two easily erased the imprints within and began to consume the pills to recover.
Meanwhile, Ling Fan directly entered the Samsara Divine Cauldron. A blood pill the size of a human head was suspended. This was the essence of the flesh and blood of the powerful War Demon Saint Lord from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Furthermore, he had also devoured two Saint Lords at the seventh stage of the Manifestation Realm, making this blood pill exceptionally rich and dense, far beyond imagination, several times more potent than all the powerhouses from the other three great sacred lands combined.
Ling Fan pointed at the blood pill, and it immediately exploded, rapidly expanding and transforming into massive blood dragons that danced in the air. Ling Fan grabbed them with his hand, forcefully absorbing all the blood dragons into himself. The Nirvana Tribulation Body operated, and masses of Nirvana Fire enveloped him, burning fiercely, refining the immense physical essence and power into his body.
...
Hoo!
After Ling Fan completely refined the War Demon Saint Lord's power, his Nirvana Tribulation Body had improved by a large margin, drawing ever closer to perfection.
The Myriad Laws Golden Core within his body also reached an apex of the Golden Core realm. The Myriad Laws origin it had absorbed was already saturated, and even absorbing more power from the Sacred River would not increase it further.
Ling Fan stopped cultivating and looked at Xue Yi and the Demon Suppressing Elder. Their injuries had completely recovered. After this series of battles, Xue Yi had integrated the power of the Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint more thoroughly, and her cultivation had advanced further, being only one step away from entering the sixth stage of the Manifestation Realm.
"Young Master Ling turned the tide, single-handedly eliminating over ten Saints from the three great sacred lands. It's a legendary feat. This old man is truly enlightened!"
The Demon Suppressing Grand Elder said with infinite emotion.
Ling Fan waved his hand indifferently.
"Let's go. I will help you control the Wuzhou Sacred River first. As long as you gain the recognition of the Wuzhou Sacred River, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, truly reaching the peak of the Nine Hua Realm."
Ling Fan looked at the sacred river waterfall that seemed to hang down from the endless void. Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he led Xue Yi and the Demon Suppressing Elder upwards.
The figures of the three ascended infinitely.
However, after flying for a long time, they still did not see the end of the waterfall, as if this waterfall was endless.
The Demon Suppressing Grand Elder and Xue Yi were both astonished and awestruck by the vastness of the Wuzhou Sacred River.
Ling Fan frowned slightly, and the Heavenly Demon Eye imprint appeared in his eyes. Instantly, all the scenery in his vision changed. His eyes pierced through layers of space, as if the endless Wuzhou Sacred River had been brought closer, and he saw the single origin point at the source of the Sacred River.
Then, with a leap, he took the Demon Suppressing Elder and Xue Yi and disappeared from outside the waterfall, entering a space hidden within the deep void.
Within this space, there was no distinction of direction, up, down, left, or right, nor any concept of distance.
It was as if this space was infinitely large.
And infinitely small.
Countless colorful lights were dreamlike and illusory. Visible martial dao entities floated around them, silently flowing within this space.
"Where is this place?"
The Demon Suppressing Grand Elder asked in surprise.
"This is the node connecting the Wuzhou Sacred River to the main artery of the Nine Hua Realm's Sacred River. The Wuzhou Sacred River branches off from here, from the Nine Hua Realm's Origin Sacred River. As long as you can comprehend and decipher the mysteries of this space, you will be able to control the power of the Wuzhou Sacred River."
Ling Fan said.
The Demon Suppressing Grand Elder said in surprise, "Young Master Ling, you truly don't intend to control the Wuzhou Sacred River yourself? With your abilities, you could definitely achieve this!"
Ling Fan shook his head and said, "I want to forge a path that has never been trodden before. Any Sacred Dao of the Nine Hua Realm is conventional for me and too fragile. Comprehending and mastering these existing Sacred Daos will only weaken my own strength."
Generally speaking, the strength of a Saint realm powerhouse is directly related to the strength of the realm they inhabit.
The same Manifestation Realm first stage.
A Manifestation Realm first stage Demon Saint from the Heavenly Demon Realm might be ten or even a hundred times weaker than a first stage Saint from the Nine Hua Realm.
This is because the Heavenly Demon Realm is one of the Ten Great Heavenly Realms, far superior to all realms, and cannot be compared to a small realm like the Nine Hua Realm, which is on the fringes of the universe.
Even if Ling Fan completely mastered all the Sacred Dao origins of the entire Nine Hua Realm, he would only be able to dominate within the Nine Hua Realm. Placed in the Ten Great Heavenly Realms, he would immediately be insignificant.
Therefore, under the limited resources of the Nine Hua Realm, he needed to find an alternative path and forge an unprecedented road to continue his invincible journey.
"I see. Young Master Ling's vision is beyond what this old man can imagine."
The Demon Suppressing Grand Elder said sincerely.
"Since Young Master Ling doesn't need to control the Wuzhou Sacred River, then please, Empress Undying, you should control the Wuzhou Sacred River. Your talent surpasses this old man by more than ten times, and your chances are much greater than mine."
The Demon Suppressing Grand Elder was very tactful.
His greatest purpose in entering the Wuzhou Sacred River was to prevent the powerhouses of the Heavenly Demon Realm from stealing the power of this Sacred River. Now that his objective was achieved, he was content. He would never dare to compete for control of the Sacred River with Lan Xue Yi.
Lan Xue Yi said, "Senior, please don't be modest. Let's compete based on our own abilities. Whoever comprehends it first will control the Sacred River. There's no need to be polite."
"This old man is dull and lacks this fortune. Being able to enter this place is all thanks to Young Master Ling, and I am already content."
After speaking, the Demon Suppressing Grand Elder consciously withdrew and sat down to meditate, so as not to disturb Ling Fan and Lan Xue Yi.
Ling Fan said, "You try your best to comprehend. Your chances are indeed much greater than his. I will occasionally offer you guidance."
"Mm."
Xue Yi nodded, and her divine sense began to spread out into this space.
...
Meanwhile, Ling Fan's eyes showed contemplation. In a fraction of a thousandth of a second, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Thousands of ideas and ten thousand paths appeared and were then rejected by him.
