Furthermore.
The immensely powerful cultivation force emanating from her body was enough to make one’s heart tremble with fear.
“It’s the former Palace Mistress of the Snow King Palace. Didn’t the rumors say she passed away a hundred years ago? I never expected her to still be alive… and to have reached the Void Core realm.”
“She must be over three hundred years old now, exceeding the lifespan limit of Giant Spirit realm powerhouses. She must have consumed some rare longevity elixir to be able to live this long…”
The appearance of the former Palace Mistress of the Snow King Palace caused a stir of exclamations.
Strictly speaking, Tian Cangzi, Red Dragon King, Xuan Shuang Valley Master, and Evil Moon Palace Master were all her juniors, not even from her era.
One could only infer her identity from subtle clues.
Not long after the former Palace Mistress of the Snow King Palace appeared.
Two more terrifying and overwhelming pressures erupted from the depths of the Tian Cang Sect, soaring upwards and piercing the heavens.
Two formidable figures rose in the distance.
“Greetings, Master!”
“Greetings, Master!”
Tian Cangzi and Red Dragon King both knelt respectfully towards the two figures.
“The masters of Tian Cangzi and Red Dragon King… these are the former Sect Master of Tian Cang Sect and the former Hall Master of Red Dragon Hall. They are also alive, and like the former Palace Mistress of the Snow King Palace, they have reached the Void Core realm. Truly a group of old monsters.”
“The Tian Cang Sect, Red Dragon Hall, and Snow King Palace are known as the three great powers of the Upper Cang Realm. Their reputation is well-deserved, as they all have Void Core realm old monsters alive…”
Under the shocked gazes of a crowd of powerhouses.
The former Sect Master of Tian Cang Sect and the former Hall Master of Red Dragon Hall both arrived on the battlefield.
“Long time no see, are you well.”
The former Sect Master of Tian Cang Sect greeted the old woman.
“Of the old timers from our era in the Upper Cang Realm, only the three of us are left with these old bones. It’s truly感慨 (gǎnkǎi - to sigh with emotion). It’s a pity that none of us three could break through the shackles and truly ascend to the Core Condensation realm, to stand alongside those ancient predecessors who opened up the Upper Cang Realm.”
“Although it’s only half a step, it feels like an insurmountable chasm. I wonder if our talent is too poor, or if it’s the limitation of this world.”
The former Sect Master of Tian Cang Sect’s aged eyes revealed a sense of melancholy.
However, the old woman clearly had no intention of reminiscing with him.
She said coldly, “This old woman has no time to indulge in sentimental musings with you. This brat has destroyed the foundation of my Snow King Palace for centuries. I only wish to crush him inch by inch to vent my hatred!”
“So be it. Our time is short, and continuing to linger on would be futile. It’s better to fight a good fight, avenge you, and bring peace back to the Upper Cang Realm.”
The former Sect Master of Tian Cang Sect said leisurely.
The former Red Dragon King’s temper was much more volatile. Even after living for nearly three hundred years, approaching the lifespan limit of a Giant Spirit realm powerhouse, his temper had not changed.
“Fight!”
Although he was extremely aged, his body remained tall and straight.
His anger was boundless.
A head of crimson hair fluttered, and boundless dragon-shaped spiritual energy surged around him like a raging tide. He appeared as an invincible Dragon King descended upon the world, displaying his formidable might.
With a point of his finger, a terrifying blood-colored giant dragon shot out. Its massive body was hundreds of feet long, suppressing the void, its presence almost eclipsing the sun. With a deafening roar, it charged towards Ling Fan.
“Alas, then let us kill.”
The former Sect Master of Tian Cang Sect sighed.
A surge of cultivation power, slightly stronger than that of the former Red Dragon Hall Master, erupted from him. He pointed his finger extremely slowly, as if this single strike required his full effort.
*Dong!*
As his finger moved with difficulty, the void suddenly split open, condensing into a colossal finger, as if a fearsome deity from the heavens had descended to deliver divine punishment, intending to crush Ling Fan with a single strike!
On the other side.
The old woman was not idle either. Her enmity with Ling Fan was the deepest, so she was the most vigorous.
As she fully unleashed the Void Core power within her without reservation, boundless divine light flowed from her body, and her terrifying cultivation force churned with roaring sounds.
With a palm strike, an extremely terrifying ice-sealing force rapidly spread across the sky, charging towards Ling Fan.
At this moment.
Everyone held their breath.
Tian Cangzi and Red Dragon King exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of relief, as if the situation was already decided.
This trap was meticulously prepared by the two of them for Ling Fan.
They knew the terrifying power of Ling Fan’s Nirvana Demonic Image, and they had not expected to be able to kill Ling Fan with their own strength.
Therefore, they had three Void Core realm powerhouses lie in wait, for this very moment, to shatter his Nirvana Demonic Image in one fell swoop.
Once Ling Fan’s most powerful means was broken, what awaited Ling Fan was a certain death!
They refused to believe that Ling Fan could escape from the clutches of three Void Core realm powerhouses!
Looking at the smiles on the faces of Tian Cangzi and Red Dragon King.
Ling Fan instantly understood their scheme.
However, even at this moment, there was no panic or fear on Ling Fan’s face.
He remained calm and indifferent.
He sneered lightly, his voice extremely faint, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears.
“You think breaking my Nirvana Demonic Image means you can deal with me? My most powerful means has never been any spiritual weapon or martial skill, but… myself!”
“Presumptuous!”
“After you die, you can boast to King Yama.”
“Seeking death!”
A crowd of powerhouses sneered.
In their eyes, this was Ling Fan’s final desperate struggle.
Yet, for some reason, Tian Cangzi’s expression turned solemn.
A vague sense of foreboding inexplicably arose in his heart.
However, this feeling came so suddenly that he could not find its source.
Tian Cangzi had no time to ponder further.
The attacks of the three Void Core realm powerhouses had already descended upon Ling Fan in a flash.
But at this critical juncture.
Ling Fan instead dissipated the blazing sun silhouette behind him.
Everyone thought Ling Fan had finally realized his doom and resigned himself to death.
Ling Fan did not dodge or evade.
He actually charged headfirst into the combined attacks of the three Void Core realm powerhouses.
His physical body suddenly erupted with boundless divine light, every inch of his skin appearing to be forged from divine gold, and every muscle fiber taut like a drawn bowstring, accumulating explosive physical strength.
*Bang!*
With a punch from Ling Fan.
The first to arrive, the hundreds-of-feet-long blood-colored giant dragon, shattered inch by inch under this punch.
The terrifying blood-red light formed by the dissipating blood dragon suddenly swept in all directions.
A mere stray ripple of power was enough to kill a late-stage Giant Spirit realm powerhouse.
Many streaks of blood-red light struck Ling Fan, exploding like fireworks on his body.
However, Ling Fan was like a steadfast reef in a raging torrent, enduring the impact of this terrifying power on his flesh, completely unharmed.
Next.
It was the colossal finger condensed by the former Sect Master of Tian Cang Sect, resembling divine judgment.
This finger extended from the void above, pressing down, as if connecting heaven and earth.
A flicker of disdain flashed in Ling Fan’s eyes.
His body suddenly shot up from the ground, transforming into a brilliant stream of light, charging straight upwards.
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
At that moment.
