As if a gale extinguished a candle flame, the tribulation fire on Ling Fan's body raged for a while, burning his body as transparent as a glazed pagoda, and was then ruthlessly extinguished by Ling Fan.
Ling Fan stood up, an unparalleled, ultimate physical strength continuously flowed from all parts of his body.
Casually clenching a fist, Ling Fan felt as if he could blow up the Undying City beneath him.
This was not an illusion.
This was real.
His current physical strength could truly sink an island with a radius of a thousand miles.
*Phew!*
Ling Fan exhaled a long breath, a heroic spirit surging in his chest.
Looking around, he saw Xue Yi's beautiful eyes wide open, staring intently at him.
And all the strong individuals from the Undying City and the Storm Sea below were also looking at him with an incredulous, ghost-like gaze, their eyes filled with reverence, much like mortals revering gods from the heavens.
Ling Fan thought for a moment and chuckled.
His cultivation process had not been deliberately concealed; it had been seen by everyone, which was why they were so shocked.
But it didn't matter.
The mysteries of his Nirvana Tribulation Body cultivation technique, the mysteries of the Samsara Divine Cauldron, no one could see through.
Let alone these strong individuals from the Undying City and the Storm Sea, even true Saints here could only be blind, unable to discern anything.
Seeing Ling Fan's gaze sweep over them, the countless strong individuals below all trembled in fear, shaking and terrified to the extreme.
*Thump,*
*Thump!*
*Thump!*
Instantly, all the strong individuals prostrated themselves, their buttocks raised high, shouting "Long live!"
Amidst the crowd.
Chen Zhendong's eyes were vacant, his spirit lost, mechanically prostrating on the ground, his mind a muddle. He was completely awestruck. All his previous jealousy, resentment, and hatred had turned into bitterness.
He finally understood.
What kind of existence he had been hostile towards.
It was truly laughable.
"Rise."
Ling Fan waved his hand, his demeanor stern.
"I am the husband of your Undying Empress, named Ling Fan. The three great sacred lands of Wuzhou and the Golden Winged Great Peng tribe of Yaozhou dared to attack my wife. I am only collecting a little interest by killing the four Great Sacred Realm experts this time. I will eventually ascend to the three great sacred lands and Yaozhou to annihilate them completely."
Ling Fan said lightly.
"Ling Saint's martial arts are divine, invincible in the world! He suppresses the eight desolate regions and reigns supreme in the universe! We are willing to follow Ling Saint and Her Majesty the Empress to create the eternal great cause of the Undying Sacred City."
Countless strong individuals below roared like a tidal wave, singing praises.
The flattery was as abundant as the rising tide.
The two fellows, the demon horse and the toad, were also stunned. Only now did they recover from the previous battle and the earth-shattering anomalies during Ling Fan's cultivation.
"Boss is truly awesome."
The demon horse, a defiant great demon that feared nothing, had to sigh in admiration at this moment.
"Tsk tsk, it's still me, Lord Mo, who is smart. I saw Boss's potential long ago and latched onto him early! Old Horse, look, is the thigh I'm holding onto thick or not?"
"It's thick, it's as thick as my waist."
The demon horse looked at its own strong waist, like a dragon's body and a tiger's form, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Ling Fan's majestic gaze swept over all the strong individuals below.
He knew that these people were only temporarily subdued by his strength, and their loyalty was not high.
In fact, these strong individuals from the Storm Sea, surviving in such an extremely chaotic and brutal environment, lived days of licking blood from their blades. They were all ruthless individuals, with few having any bottom line or morality.
However, he did not intend to truly develop the Storm Sea into his base, so he would not put effort into this aspect.
As long as these people did not touch his bottom line, he was too lazy to bother with them.
"You all quickly return and send all your treasured rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures to the Undying City. I will reward you with cultivation techniques, martial skills, elixirs, and other treasures."
Ling Fan said loudly.
"Yes!"
All the strong individuals responded.
Ling Fan took Xue Yi's hand and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Only then did all the strong individuals feel relieved, standing up one after another, looking at each other as if they had just had a dream.
"The Storm Sea has changed!"
"It's incredible, he directly killed four Manifestation Realm experts, those four Sacred Realm experts didn't even have a chance to escape... To what level is he powerful!"
"It's simply unbelievable, it was like a dream just now. A Golden Core killing a Manifestation Realm? My heavens, thinking about it now, I still feel my blood boiling!"
"A Condensing Core killing a Golden Core, that's still possible, but the gap between the Golden Core realm and the Manifestation Realm is like the difference between a saint and a mortal, an insurmountable chasm, yet he easily broke through it. This is truly a peerless monstrous talent!"
"I wonder if this is a good or bad thing for our Storm Sea... From now on, we will probably have to obediently submit to the jurisdiction of the Undying Sacred City."
"What's wrong with that! Without the Undying Sacred City, wouldn't we still be exploited by the three great sacred lands of Wuzhou and those powerful demon races in Yaozhou, having to pay tribute regularly every year, or our sects would be destroyed? For us, it's just changing masters, there's no substantial difference. I don't think this Ling Fan and the Undying Empress are tyrannical people; our lives might even be much better than before."
"Did you hear that? He just said he wanted to exchange martial skills, cultivation techniques, and elixirs for our heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Is this true?"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know if we try! Even if he doesn't give us anything, we can just consider it tribute to him, exchanging it for peace. If he really gives us some cultivation techniques or miraculous elixirs, then we've profited!"
Countless strong individuals from the Storm Sea whispered to each other.
...
"What do you want them to hand over heavenly materials and earthly treasures for?"
In the sleeping quarters.
Xue Yi asked curiously.
"To repair my cauldron."
Ling Fan said.
"What, that cauldron is so powerful, and it's not completely repaired yet? I feel it's more than ten times more powerful than my Hundred Flowers Crown! It's definitely comparable to a top-tier sacred artifact. How powerful would that cauldron be if it were intact?"
Xue Yi said with shock.
Ling Fan said, "It's still far from it. Only the first part of this cauldron has been repaired. There are still three more powerful and more miraculous core formations that have not been repaired."
"Let's not talk about this, I'll help you improve your cultivation first."
Ling Fan took out the blood elixir. After Xue Yi took it, she felt the surging power contained within the blood elixir and was shocked again, "This is...?"
Ling Fan said, "That's right, it's the entire flesh and blood power and life essence of a Sacred Realm expert. After you consume it, it should help your Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body advance further. Also, these are the complete Saint Dao rules of those four Great Sacred Realm experts, absorb them all."
"You're giving it all to me, what about yourself?"
"I only need to comprehend them, I don't need to absorb these Saint Dao rules, they are not of much use to me."
"Okay! I'll take this blood elixir first."
