Tian Shan Domain.
As news from the Martial King Battlefield spread, the attention of the entire Tian Yun Kingdom and the strong individuals from the other three six-star martial nations was, for a time, entirely focused.
Decades later.
Someone in the Martial King Battlefield had once again broken through to the Condensing Core Realm Martial Venerable stage!
And.
The one who carved a bloody path through the Martial King Battlefield, stepping over the skeletons of numerous Giant Spirit Realm genius Martial Kings to become a newly promoted Condensing Core Realm Martial Venerable, was a woman!
This made it even more astonishing.
After all, those who had managed to stand out in the Martial King Battlefield in previous years were invariably men, with female powerhouses being very rare.
This woman's name quickly spread throughout the Tian Shan Domain.
This woman.
Was precisely Lan Xueyi!
If it were only this, it would not be enough to attract the gaze of all the powerhouses in the Tian Shan Domain.
What attracted them most was another piece of news concerning this woman.
The most ancient and most powerful sacred relic in the Martial King Battlefield had been opened.
Amidst the fierce competition of countless Giant Spirit Realm geniuses, it was Lan Xueyi who ultimately obtained the inheritance of this sacred relic!
This news immediately ignited the four six-star martial nations of the Tian Shan Domain.
In an instant, all the powerhouses in the Tian Shan Domain had red eyes.
All of them eyed it covetously, itching to make a move.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the inheritance of a Saint Realm powerhouse? Who wouldn't covet it?
Especially since this one was a top-tier ancient saint whose name resounded throughout the Nine Hua Realm.
The weight of her inheritance was enough to drive countless powerhouses mad.
The owner of the sacred relic that Lan Xueyi obtained was named Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint.
She was one of the most powerful ancient saints in the history of the Nine Hua Realm.
Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint could be considered a legend in the Nine Hua Realm.
Legend had it that she had left behind over a hundred sacred relics in the Nine Hua Realm, but whether they were true or false, no one had ever truly obtained her most core inheritance.
It wasn't until this time that Lan Xueyi took away the inheritance of Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint from this sacred relic in the Martial King Battlefield, right under the noses of countless geniuses.
This was what caused a sensation among the world.
If it weren't for the deliberate suppression of news by the four six-star martial nations of the Tian Shan Domain.
Otherwise, this earth-shattering news would have long since spread beyond the Tian Shan Domain and throughout the thirty-three domains of the Martial Continent.
At that time, who knew how many powerful eyes would be fixed on Lan Xueyi.
One must know.
The inheritance of Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint was enough to make even the aloof Manifestation Realm powerhouses' hearts flutter.
As soon as this news spread.
The Condensing Core Realm powerhouses of the Tian Yun Kingdom all converged at the exit of the Martial King Battlefield.
They were waiting for Lan Xueyi to emerge so they could seize the inheritance of Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint from her.
These people didn't even bother to pretend anymore.
With the inheritance of Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint laid out before them, what about morality, what about sentiment, what about rules, all of it was bullshit and could be cast aside!
On the other side.
It wasn't just the Tian Yun Kingdom that had their eyes on Lan Xueyi.
The Condensing Core Realm Martial Venerable powerhouses of the Tian Yin Kingdom, Tian Chuan Kingdom, and Tian Qiu Kingdom had almost all mobilized, heading towards the royal city of Tian Yun Kingdom.
...
And all of this.
Ling Fan was still unaware of it.
According to his estimation.
Xueyi would not come out of the Martial King Battlefield so soon, so at that time, he was still in the Myriad Burial Demonic Abyss improving his strength.
However, he did not know that the appearance of the sacred relic of Hundred Flowers Ancient Saint had greatly accelerated all of this.
When he left the Myriad Burial Demonic Abyss.
The Martial King Battlefield had already closed.
Lan Xueyi also had no choice but to leave the Martial King Battlefield and face the countless wolf-like powerhouses of the Tian Shan Domain.
...
Tian Yun Kingdom.
About half a year had passed, and the royal city of Tian Yun Kingdom seemed unchanged.
Half a year was merely the blink of an eye for this ancient city.
On this day.
A young figure appeared within the royal city of Tian Yun Kingdom.
It was Ling Fan, who had returned from the Myriad Burial Demonic Abyss.
Ling Fan looked around and saw many powerhouses discussing animatedly at the city gate.
Their conversation suddenly caught Ling Fan's attention.
His divine sense immediately unfolded.
His divine sense was incredibly powerful now.
Those powerhouses who were talking volubly had no idea that someone was prying.
He only heard them say, one after another:
"I never expected, never expected that in this remote corner of our Tian Shan Domain, there would be the inheritance of a top-tier ancient saint! It's truly unexpected!"
"Yes, only the inheritance of an ancient saint could cause such a stir, such a great wave! Making countless powerhouses break their heads and turn red-eyed."
"It was so shocking! I don't know if you saw it that day, but I certainly did. I swear, the battle I witnessed that day was absolutely the highest-level battle of powerhouses I've ever seen in my life!"
"So many Condensing Core Realm Martial Venerables! Normally, they are like dragons that show their heads but not their tails, yet on that day, they were all gathered in our Tian Yun Royal City. Their every move was earth-shattering, with ghosts crying and gods howling!!"
"Tsk tsk, even those at the Void Core stage didn't have the qualification to interfere."
"His Majesty the King of Tian Yun, Lord Xie Shu Martial Venerable, Lord Tuo Yu Martial Venerable... as well as the patriarchs of the Seven Martial Venerable Families, all made their move. In addition, there was the King of Tian Chuan, Sword Venerable Xichuan, Martial Venerable Fang Sheng from the Tian Chuan Kingdom... Venerable Han Yin, Imperial Tutor Tian Yin, Blade Venerable Xie Ling from the Tian Yin Kingdom... Tian Qiu Kingdom's..."
"I counted, there were over thirty Martial Venerables who came that day! This lineup is too luxurious! Almost half of the Martial Venerables in the Tian Shan Domain came, right?"
As those people spoke of the matter, they still shook their heads in shock.
Clearly, they had never witnessed such a grand occasion in their lives.
Another person sighed, "The key is that with so many Martial Venerable powerhouses making a move together, they still couldn't keep that young girl. She is simply powerful to the extreme. I think although she is a newly promoted Martial Venerable, she is not weaker than veteran Martial Venerables like Xie Shu Martial Venerable at all. Moreover, she possesses the ancient saint's inheritance, and once she uses ancient saintly methods, these veteran Martial Venerables may not be her match."
"Speaking of which, this woman is simply like a celestial maiden descended to earth, as beautiful as if she walked out of a painting! If I could marry such a woman in this lifetime, I would be willing to die on my wedding day."
A younger martial artist said with immense admiration.
"Get lost, you! A Qiang, stop bragging here. You haven't even seen that woman, do you know what she looks like? You're just talking nonsense."
"I... I haven't seen her, but everyone who has seen this woman says she is breathtakingly beautiful. Where am I bragging! Do you dare say she's not beautiful?"
The two started arguing.
The people around them burst into laughter.
"A Qiang, you're probably going to be disappointed. I heard that this woman is already married, and married to a monstrous figure. Do you remember? Half a year ago, her husband sent her to participate in the Martial King Battlefield, and her husband, in front of countless powerhouses, killed the sixth prince of the Tian Yun royal family! Moreover, he exchanged a blow with Lord Xie Shu Martial Venerable from afar and retreated unharmed, his combat power being simply heaven-defying. A Qiang, compared to such a monster, you are just a pile of cow dung, so stop having foolish fantasies."
