Years later, Yun Fan emerged from seclusion at the peak of the Sovereign King realm.
However, upon exiting, he encountered a situation.
This encounter was initiated by a powerful expert at the Immortal Martial realm, who descended upon the Demon Realm intending to claim it as his own.
Feng Ling and the Storm Sovereign naturally disagreed. After all, the Demon Realm had endured countless eras; it couldn't simply be claimed by a suddenly appearing strong individual.
Unexpectedly, the Immortal Martial expert attacked fiercely, nearly killing both of them. If their true bodies, rather than mere clones, had been in the Demon Realm, it might have been annihilated.
When Feng Ling and Feng Ling informed Yun Fan of the situation, Yun Fan was enraged. This individual was truly arrogant.
Regardless of whether he intended to become the Demon Realm's lord, in Yun Fan's eyes, anyone who attacked his wife and elder brother was deserving of death.
Therefore, Yun Fan had to settle this score for them.
Subsequently, Yun Fan, along with the other two, arrived at the center of the Demon Realm.
"Kid, you've finally arrived!"
The Immortal Martial expert sneered playfully at Yun Fan.
"You know who I am?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
"Of course, I do!"
He replied, "I don't know how you managed to defeat the Immortal Ancestor, but ultimately, you helped me escape my confinement! How could I, the Immortal Martial King, not know!"
It turned out he was called the Immortal Martial King. Records of him had vanished, likely due to his immense age.
To this, Yun Fan stated, "So, you intend to become the Demon Realm's lord now?"
"Precisely. I have my eye on this land of the Demon Realm. After all, for a very long time before the demon race appeared, this was the territory of my race. Now that my race has become history, and since I have escaped confinement, I must shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding my race!"
"You wish!"
Feng Ling coldly retorted.
The Immortal Martial King glared at her fiercely. "You are not qualified to accuse me. Were it not for his sake, I would kill you right now!"
The "sake" he referred to was, of course, Yun Fan's.
Yun Fan then spoke, "Immortal Martial King, don't be so overbearing. You have escaped confinement, so enjoy your freedom. Don't go looking for trouble!"
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Martial King gave Yun Fan a cold glance.
"Kid, I recognize your talent. Therefore, I am prepared to make you my assistant, to help me build a glorious future. Do not be unappreciative!"
Yun Fan replied coldly, "Immortal Martial King, you overestimate yourself. How does your standing compare to the Immortal Ancestor? Even he did not dare to recruit me, let alone you! I will give you one chance: kneel and apologize to my wife and elder brother, and I may consider sparing your life. Otherwise, your fate will be the same as the Immortal Ancestor's!"
At this, the Immortal Martial King became furious. "How can a mere brat who hasn't even reached the Immortal Martial realm dare to utter such wild boasts? Your victory over the Immortal Ancestor was merely a stroke of luck. That is not a reason for you to be arrogant with me!"
"So, what do you intend to do?"
Yun Fan countered.
He replied, "Kill these two, and then pledge your allegiance to me. Otherwise, I will not let you go!"
This was the Immortal Martial King's stance.
Yun Fan scoffed, "You are truly overestimating yourself. Do you truly believe I would fear you just because you are an Immortal Martial realm expert?"
Under normal circumstances, Yun Fan would have preferred to maintain a peaceful coexistence. However, the Immortal Martial King had provoked him so severely, and Yun Fan was not one to tolerate such insults.
Did he truly believe he was no match for the Immortal Martial King? He had to remember that his strength had increased significantly since his battle with the Immortal Ancestor.
The Immortal Martial King sneered, "Since you are so eager to die, I shall send you on your way!"
Instantly, the Immortal Martial King, no longer able to contain himself, attacked. So what if Yun Fan's achievements were astonishing?
Without reaching the Immortal Martial realm, he was still merely an ant.
In a flash, he unleashed an invincible power towards Yun Fan. It had to be said, this power was truly terrifying.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, their forces clashed in a palm strike.
Both were sent staggering back.
The previously arrogant Immortal Martial King's expression immediately turned serious.
"How is this possible?"
He looked at Yun Fan with disbelief. No matter what, he had never imagined Yun Fan would be this strong.
Though not of the Immortal Martial realm, in terms of pure power, Yun Fan was already on par with an Immortal Martial realm expert.
Yun Fan also gained a rough understanding of the Immortal Martial King's strength: he was stronger than the Golden Centipede, but definitely not as strong as the Immortal Ancestor.
Instantly, he felt relieved. If it came to a fight to the death, he might not be at a disadvantage against the Immortal Martial King.
At this point, the Immortal Martial King said coldly, "Kid, you do possess some strength. However, in my eyes, it is utterly insignificant!"
Instantly, he unleashed his full power, aiming to kill Yun Fan in a single strike.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan erupted with power exceeding his peak and clashed with the Immortal Martial King.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, their techniques continuously impacted each other's forces. Clearly, Yun Fan's creation power held a significant advantage.
Though inferior to the Immortal Martial King, he could unleash a power that surpassed his limits, shattering the Immortal Martial King's attack.
"Hiss!"
The Immortal Martial King gasped, sucking in a breath of cold air. Although they had only exchanged two blows, it was evident that Yun Fan was by no means an easy opponent.
To this, he said to Yun Fan, "Kid, considering you saved me, you should leave! Don't let me see you again, or I will kill you every time I do!"
These words were filled with immense humiliation, especially for Feng Ling and the Storm Sovereign, whose anger reached its peak.
However, at this moment, they could only fume in silence, fearing they might cause trouble for Yun Fan.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan declared, "You want me to leave? And just like that? Who do you think you are!"
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed. They hadn't expected Yun Fan to actually confront the Immortal Martial King head-on.
At this, the Immortal Martial King roared, "Kid, are you sure you want to go all out against me?"
"Yes, I am sure!"
Yun Fan stated directly, as he was not one to shy away from a fight.
"You will regret this!"
Instantly, the enraged Immortal Martial King attacked. If he didn't kill Yun Fan today, his reputation as the Immortal Martial King would be ruined.
Therefore, at this moment, both sides unleashed their full strength, neither willing to hold back.
"You two go first. I'll handle this!"
With that, Yun Fan charged forward.
Although Feng Ling and the Storm Sovereign wanted to help Yun Fan, they were simply not on the same level.
Staying here would not only be unhelpful but would also hinder Yun Fan. Thus, at this juncture, they could only retreat with resentment.
At this moment, Yun Fan and the Immortal Martial King had engaged in a fierce contest. Since their masks had already been dropped, they were now solely focused on killing each other.
It had to be said, the scale of this battle was unprecedented. The moment they clashed, the center of the Demon Realm was nearly annihilated.
In the next moment, Yun Fan directly pulled the Immortal Martial King into his domain. At this moment, he had only one objective: to fight.
He aimed to become an invincible god.
Upon entering his domain, his strength doubled. The gap that had previously existed between him and the Immortal Martial King was now completely bridged.
Clearly, the Immortal Martial King had not yet grasped the severity of the situation. He still considered Yun Fan a mere weakling.
"What era is this, still using domains to fight!"
The Immortal Martial King taunted with disdain.
Domains were a technique of the Sovereign King. For someone like him, an Immortal Martial King, they were unnecessary.
After all, they were already symbols of invincibility.
However, after Yun Fan unleashed a world-shattering strike, he finally realized the gravity of the situation.
That is, Yun Fan's strength seemed far greater than he had imagined, and he was being pressured.
This time, the Immortal Martial King was stunned. He couldn't believe Yun Fan's strength could be so monstrous.
Upon sensing Yun Fan's true power, he no longer dared to be careless. He attacked Yun Fan with his full strength, leaving no room for Yun Fan to breathe.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan, with a stroke of creation power, nearly split the Immortal Martial King in half.
The Immortal Martial King's body burned, and he was genuinely shocked by Yun Fan. Fortunately, being an Immortal Martial King, he narrowly survived this crisis.
"How could he be this strong?"
The Immortal Martial King seemed to recognize Yun Fan's power as familiar, as if he had encountered it before, yet he couldn't recall where.
This was the Immortal Martial King's greatest point of confusion.
However, at this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate Yun Fan, as the strength Yun Fan displayed was truly monstrous and invincible.
"No wonder you could kill the Immortal Ancestor. You have indeed impressed me!"
The Immortal Martial King declared angrily.
He was an Immortal Martial realm expert, yet he was being suppressed by Yun Fan. His dignity was completely lost.
Of course, it wasn't just about losing face; he felt his very life was threatened.
Yun Fan stated, "Impressing me is not enough! My goal is to kill you!"
"With what?"
The Immortal Martial King raged. Did he truly think he couldn't defeat Yun Fan? In the blink of an eye, he unleashed his ultimate power.
That formidable power descended, as if it would pierce through Yun Fan's domain, but Yun Fan's domain was filled with creation power, repelling his attack.
Seizing this opportunity, Yun Fan unleashed a flurry of fatal blows, nearly bringing even the Immortal Martial King to his death.
"Pfft!"
The Immortal Martial King spat out a mouthful of blood, never expecting to encounter such a formidable enemy so soon after escaping confinement. To call him strong? He was barely there. To call him weak? Far from it, as he possessed the ability to duel him. Despite his anger, he couldn't change this fact.
At this, Yun Fan said, "Immortal Martial King, if you were at your peak, you might be able to suppress me. But in your current state, you are at your weakest, and I have no reservations about facing you!"
Yun Fan's decision to stay and confront the Immortal Martial King was not due to overconfidence but a calculated assessment. Despite the Immortal Martial King's strength, he believed he was not inferior.
This was Yun Fan's confidence and the source of his invincibility.
"You underestimate Immortal Martial experts!"
The Immortal Martial King cursed, "Do you think I survived from ancient times until now solely by luck?"
"Wasn't it?"
Yun Fan replied disdainfully.
"You will soon realize the chasm between us is like a vast gulf!"
Instantly, he unleashed his Immortal Martial power, which was an overwhelming force against a Sovereign King.
After all, the Immortal Martial King was truly formidable, existing on a completely different plane of existence.
Even in his weakened state, it did not change the fact that he was an Immortal Martial expert.
As expected, under the influence of Immortal Martial power, even Yun Fan was completely suppressed. Although the opposing force couldn't truly suppress him, the Immortal Martial power was an attribute that held him tightly, leaving him with no recourse.
"How does it feel?"
The Immortal Martial King sneered. Without a doubt, he had never taken Yun Fan seriously from beginning to end.
So what if Yun Fan had achieved brief victories? He was still the superior being.
This time, with no reinforcements, Yun Fan knew he could only rely on himself.
At this, he circulated his creation power, barely resisting the Immortal Martial power, and then began to condense a bloodline-enhanced attack.
He had only one chance. If he couldn't cripple the Immortal Martial King in one blow, he might be the one to fall.
Of course, the Immortal Martial King couldn't kill him, but Yun Fan's inner voice constantly urged him not to be a loser.
With these numerous factors converging, Yun Fan rose against the odds.
While the Immortal Martial King continued to suppress him, Yun Fan unleashed a creation power attack, using stealth to approach the Immortal Martial King.
The Immortal Martial King sensed it, but his reaction was a beat too slow. Yun Fan's creation power struck at his origin.
"Ah!"
Instantly, the Immortal Martial King let out a roar and a scream. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to resort to such a tactic.
After all, during their duel, he had been constantly wary of Yun Fan, precisely to prevent him from using such underhanded tactics.
He hadn't expected to be caught off guard in the end.
Severely wounded by Yun Fan, his power completely dissipated. Yun Fan was no longer suppressed by the Immortal Martial power.
At this moment, Yun Fan's domain collapsed, but he remained undiscouraged, his gaze fixed coldly on the Immortal Martial King.
"Immortal Martial King, do you know?"
Yun Fan said coldly, "Your greatest failure was provoking me. And not just provoking me, but trying to kill me. You lack the strength for that!"
Faced with Yun Fan's mockery, the Immortal Martial King was furious but had to accept reality.
His injuries were too severe. With the enhancement of Yun Fan's bloodline, the penetration of his creation power was terrifying.
It could be said that Yun Fan's sneak attack had completely incapacitated him.
Even the Immortal Martial King hadn't anticipated that Yun Fan would find an opportunity to turn the tide, and thus his situation was now extremely dire.
At this, the Immortal Martial King said to Yun Fan, "Kid, I think we don't need to fight anymore!"
"Why?"
Yun Fan sneered. After being beaten to this state, he was now suggesting they stop fighting? How could there be such a convenient outcome?
This Immortal Martial King was truly living in a fantasy.
The Immortal Martial King declared, "I am willing to split the Demon Realm in half with you, and we can live peacefully, each minding our own business!"
This was the Immortal Martial King's bottom line. In Yun Fan's eyes, his offer was absurd.
However, in his own eyes, he felt he had made the greatest concession.
Yun Fan replied, "Then I will tell you, that is absolutely impossible!"
"Do you truly believe you can kill me if we continue fighting?"
The Immortal Martial King roared at Yun Fan. Was this kid too arrogant? He had made such a concession, yet he still wanted to continue the fight.
Yun Fan stated, "Whether I can kill you is uncertain, but what I can say is that from the moment you provoked me, you could not expect to be at peace!"
This was Yun Fan's stance. He was not one to be magnanimous. Anyone who dared to provoke him would either die or face him head-on.
The Immortal Martial King fumed, "You have nothing to lose, so why must we fight to the death?"
In his view, this battle would either end with neither being able to defeat the other, or with mutual destruction.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan replied, "So what if it's a mutual destruction? You are already the Immortal Martial King, are you afraid of death?"
"Kid, you are pushing me too far!"
Instantly, the Immortal Martial King raged. If he continued to back down now, what would become of him? He was merely a young brat, and to retreat further would be unacceptable.
Since Yun Fan was determined to fight to the end, he would match Yun Fan's resolve and see who would fall first.
At this moment, their battle reignited. The Immortal Martial King could no longer suppress Yun Fan from a distance with his Immortal Martial power.
Therefore, their current fight was almost a close-quarters combat.
The intensity of their battle was earth-shattering. Who would have thought that after their revival, they would immediately face their first great conflict?
At this moment, the remaining six Immortal Martial realm experts had clearly sensed the battle between the two, but none intervened, all observing from the sidelines.
Although they had escaped confinement together, they were not allies, nor were they friends. Therefore, at this moment, they would be delighted if Yun Fan and the Immortal Martial King perished together.
That way, they would have two fewer competitors.
Although the Immortal Realm was vast, at most only two Immortal Martial realm experts could coexist in any given era. Now, there were seven.
If Yun Fan was also included, that made eight. Clearly, for Immortal Martial experts, such limited resources were insufficient.
Therefore, at this moment, none of them would offer assistance. In fact, if necessary, they might even intervene to eliminate both of them.
Do not assume that breaking through to the Immortal Martial realm automatically instills noble intentions. In reality, for them, the higher the realm, the more ruthless the heart.
Without a ruthless heart, it would be difficult to survive in this era. After all, the Immortal Dao power of this era had suffered the backlash of the Immortal Dao curse, making it far inferior to their own time.
Thus, they would rather there be only one Immortal Martial expert in this world than one more.
At this moment, the battle between Yun Fan and the Immortal Martial King had reached its climax. Both sides were fighting desperately.
Yet, neither could kill the other. Despite their severe injuries, neither was willing to yield.
The Immortal Martial King roared at Yun Fan, "Kid, don't push your luck too far. Even if we both end up severely injured today, do you think you can escape from here?"
"Oh?"
Yun Fan looked at him with confusion.
The Immortal Martial King continued, "The other six are lurking outside, watching. Be careful, they might swarm you and kill you!"
This was the Immortal Martial King's basis for confidence.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan replied, "Then why wouldn't they kill you?"
"Hmph!"
The Immortal Martial King snorted, "They were imprisoned in the tombstone with me for ten thousand years. We are already allies! How can you, a mere brat, compare?"
Faced with his mockery, Yun Fan clearly did not believe him.
"If they are allies, then they would have already come to kill me, why would they wait until now! At the Immortal Martial realm, everyone is selfish. I believe they want you dead even more than I do!"
Faced with Yun Fan's mockery, the Immortal Martial King was enraged. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to have figured things out so clearly.
To this end, he immediately addressed the six powerful individuals outside the battlefield, "Six fellow Daoists, this kid possesses a strange power. Please help me deal with him. Leaving him alive will undoubtedly be a future threat!"
However, contrary to expectation, these six individuals remained remarkably calm, showing no intention of intervening.
"Damn it! They are all selfish scoundrels!"
The Immortal Martial King was furious. Perhaps he had already anticipated this outcome but was unwilling to accept it and had decided to try his luck.
However, this test had truly shattered his hopes.
"Have you given up?"
Yun Fan asked with a cold smile.
The Immortal Martial King was incandescent with rage. "Kid, even if they don't help me, I will still kill you!"
At this point, he prepared for a final gamble. He would unleash only one move. If this move couldn't kill Yun Fan, he would have to flee.
Because if his injuries became too severe, even if Yun Fan couldn't kill him, those six were not benevolent beings and would surely target him.
Therefore, at this moment, there was not much the Immortal Martial King could do. He would risk one move against Yun Fan, hoping Yun Fan would perish in this strike.
When he unleashed this heaven-defying move towards Yun Fan, even Yun Fan felt immense pressure.
"So strong!"
Yun Fan gasped. With this strength, even if not invincible, it was close.
The Immortal Martial King had paid a great price to unleash his ultimate move.
Indeed, this was the power of a peak Immortal Martial King. Even a single move was enough to inspire dread.
With no room to retreat, Yun Fan directly activated his invisibility.
"Where is he?"
The Immortal Martial King was stunned. He could clearly sense Yun Fan's presence right before him, yet he could not pinpoint his exact location.
Boom!
In the next moment, his most powerful strike exploded. Yun Fan was injured, but not completely, as his invisibility caused the attack to deviate.
What would have been a full impact was now only a third of its power hitting him.
However, even with only a third of the force, he sustained considerable injuries.
In contrast, the Immortal Martial King showed a look of unwillingness, as the outcome was far from what he had desired.
Instantly, he fled. Yes, because he knew there was no point in staying any longer. Not only could he not kill Yun Fan, but he might even be killed by Yun Fan.
Therefore, at this moment, escape was his only option.
However, before he could even escape the center of the Demon Realm, he directly collided with a barrier.
"Why did you set up a barrier to block my path?"
The Immortal Martial King cursed angrily, as he now realized this barrier had been erected by those six individuals.
Who would have thought these six would resort to such underhanded tactics?
One of the six spoke, "Fellow Daoist, the battle is not over yet. How can you flee in the midst of it?"
"Exactly!"
Another added, "He is merely a brat who hasn't even reached the Immortal Martial realm. Why would you fear him?"
"If you flee, your reputation will be ruined!"
The six spoke in turn, refusing to let the Immortal Martial King leave.
The Immortal Martial King was utterly dumbfounded, never having expected these six scoundrels to be so shameless.
"I will remember you!"
The Immortal Martial King cursed furiously.
But immediately after, he was severely wounded by Yun Fan once again, nearly perishing.
At this point, the Immortal Martial King was at his absolute limit.
"Kid, I will kill you!"
With no chance to escape, the Immortal Martial King had no choice but to turn back. Only by killing Yun Fan did he have a sliver of hope for survival.
Otherwise, he would truly have no options left.
The battle had reached this stage, and Yun Fan naturally had no fear. Let them fight to the death! What was there to be afraid of?
Instantly, the two combatants were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
Under Yun Fan's desperate onslaught, the Immortal Martial King sustained multiple severe blows.
Just as he was about to pierce through Yun Fan's body with his final strike, he declared:
"Kid, you are ultimately too weak! Did you truly think you could kill me? You are too naive!"
The Immortal Martial King taunted with disdain.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Yun Fan held his origin before him, dangled it, and then crushed it.
"Ah!"
The Immortal Martial King let out a scream. With his origin shattered, even if he were to survive, he would be a cripple. He might as well have died.
Even he hadn't imagined Yun Fan possessed such monstrous strength and ability.
Yun Fan stated, "Immortal Martial King, you didn't expect that in the end, I would be the victor!"
Yun Fan looked at him coldly.
The Immortal Martial King fumed, "Even if you win, what then? Do you think the six outside will let you go after you kill me? Someone who hasn't reached the Immortal Martial realm yet can kill an Immortal Martial realm expert. How could they not be wary of you?"
"You speak sense!"
Yun Fan replied, "It seems that is indeed the case. However, you will likely be disappointed, because they will not kill me!"
"Do you think that's possible?"
He said dismissively. In his view, Yun Fan was doomed to die without a doubt.
Yun Fan stated, "If they want to reduce the number of contenders, they will not kill me, because I can help them eliminate the rest!"
This was Yun Fan's confidence. All six of them wanted the others dead, but they would never intervene themselves.
After all, if they were to kill an opponent, they would be at their weakest, making them vulnerable to others.
Therefore, at this moment, they would never kill him, as he was precisely the tool they needed.
Once he had completed the task they desired, the survivors would then deal with him.
However, by then, Yun Fan would no longer be afraid, as he would have grown stronger.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Martial King finally understood Yun Fan's intention. "Keeping you is their greatest regret!"
The Immortal Martial King had already foreseen Yun Fan's potential. He was destined for greatness and would one day become the strongest existence in the Immortal Realm.
However, he would not warn the other six. Even in death, he would drag these people down with him.
Subsequently, with a sense of release, he said, "I never imagined that a dream spanning millennia would ultimately be in vain. To fall at your hands, I am not convinced!"
"I am not reconciled!"
With a final roar, the Immortal Martial King did not attempt to further injure Yun Fan. After all, even in his final moments, he could still inflict further damage.
But he had also understood Yun Fan's importance. Therefore, he chose to sacrifice himself rather than attack.
He wanted to spare Yun Fan so that Yun Fan could deal with the others, and then those individuals would join him in death.
As expected, after the Immortal Martial King died, the remaining six individuals showed expressions of horror. Yun Fan, through sheer determination, had actually killed the Immortal Martial King.
They couldn't even imagine how a mere youngster, not yet in the Immortal Martial realm, had accomplished this.
"Fellow Daoist, shall we kill this brat?"
At this, someone among them posed the question.
However, another replied, "There is no need. We do not have the same limited vision as the Immortal Martial King. To attack someone not yet in the Immortal Martial realm, only to ultimately fall to that brat's hands!"
"Exactly. We cannot afford such embarrassment. If you want to kill him, you do it. I will not!"
With that, this individual vanished from the spot. Subsequently, the second, then the third, also disappeared.
The remaining individuals glanced at Yun Fan, each with their own intentions, and departed.
Indeed, for them, resources were scarce. If they could not act themselves, Yun Fan was undoubtedly the perfect tool.
They could use Yun Fan to continuously eliminate others. Once Yun Fan, the unlucky pawn, completed his task, they would then dispose of him.
It had to be said, their plans were quite elaborate.
Subsequently, they dismantled the barrier.
The three Sovereign Kings rushed in to check on Yun Fan.
"Yun Fan, are you alright?"
They asked Yun Fan with concern.
"I'm fine. I won't die!"
Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. In truth, he had been gambling. If even one or two of those six had decided to kill him,
He would have surely perished.
As it turned out, his gamble had paid off. Otherwise, he would have faced the grim reality of death.
At this, Yun Fan stated, "I need to go into seclusion next. After that, I will continue to fight!"
"Still fighting?"
The three looked at Yun Fan with worry. After all, Yun Fan had already reached his limit. If he were to fight again, his survival would be uncertain.
"That's right!"
Yun Fan replied, "They think they are using me, but they don't realize I am also using them. Let's see who the final winner will be!"
Clearly, in Yun Fan's mind, he was the ultimate victor, and he was very confident in this regard.
Following this, he began his seclusion. This time, he refined the origin of the Immortal Martial King.
Upon refining the Immortal Martial King's origin, he broke through another realm. Previously, he had been at the peak of the Sovereign King realm.
This time, he had already stepped one foot out of the Sovereign King rank.
Indeed, he now possessed the strength of a half-step Immortal Martial realm expert.
Yun Fan was very satisfied with this outcome. Others had to cultivate to reach this realm, but for him, cultivation was not the only path; slaughter could also lead to this level.
It was impossible for Yun Fan not to feel joy in his heart.
Breaking through was not as difficult as he had imagined. As long as one was willing to fight desperately, nothing was unattainable.
A hundred years later, resources became even scarcer. Six of the Immortal Martial realm experts had become restless.
After all, Yun Fan had shown no activity for a century. Had he become afraid?
If their expectations were dashed, they would eliminate Yun Fan directly. In their eyes, a tool must understand its place.
If it failed to do so, then it deserved to die.
Coincidentally, on this very day, the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable conceived of occupying the Immortal Realm.
After all, by occupying the Immortal Realm, he could utilize its resources to cultivate and regain his peak strength.
Since Yun Fan no longer dared to fight, he had no reason to worry. As for that kid Yun Fan, whoever wanted to kill him could do so; he certainly wouldn't.
Because killing Yun Fan, a person in an indeterminate state, would come at the cost of severe injury. If he were to be severely injured,
He might very well become prey himself.
Therefore, at this moment, he chose to occupy the Immortal Realm and drive out Yun Fan's forces.
He did not kill Yun Fan's faction, lest Yun Fan seek revenge.
He wasn't afraid of Yun Fan, but he feared the repercussions of killing Yun Fan. Often, even a minor incident could lead to significant consequences.
Therefore, at this moment, he chose to simply occupy the Immortal Realm.
The remaining individuals were furious. They hadn't expected the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable to make the first move. Now, only the Demon Realm remained.
As they prepared to divide the Demon Realm among themselves, and some were about to demand territory from the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable, Yun Fan made his move.
The remaining five breathed a sigh of relief. This brat had finally shown up, not disappointing them. If Yun Fan hadn't acted soon, they would have had to kill him first, this tool.
Now, it seemed this tool still held some value. Therefore, at this moment, they had nothing to do but watch the show.
Some even began placing bets, betting on how Yun Fan would kill the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable, and whether Yun Fan would perish after killing him.
Of course, even while gambling, they had their own calculations. If possible, they would still save Yun Fan.
After all, even if the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable were to perish, there would still be five of them remaining.
For five individuals to divide the resources of the Immortal Realm was insufficient, after all.
As expected, at this very moment, Yun Fan arrived at the Immortal Realm occupied by the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable.
The Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable was speechless. Why hadn't this brat acted when he occupied the Immortal Realm? The moment he did, Yun Fan appeared.
Without a doubt, from his perspective, Yun Fan was nothing more than a rabid dog. He had no desire to fight such a creature.
Therefore, he prepared to withdraw from the Immortal Realm, but unexpectedly, as soon as he did, a barrier blocked his path.
The one who set up the barrier was none other than those remaining five dogs. He might not be a human, but those five were truly dogs.
At this, Yun Fan arrived.
Facing Yun Fan directly, the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable said, "Kid, you're here!"
"You know why I've come!"
Yun Fan stated directly, no longer bothering to conceal his intentions.
At this, the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable said coldly, "I don't wish to fight you. If you want the Immortal Realm back, I will cede it to you directly! But there's no need for a fight. It's not that I cannot kill you, but I do not wish to let their plan succeed!"
This was the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable's stance. Others spoke ambiguously, but he was direct with Yun Fan.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan replied, "Once I appeared here, wasn't the outcome already decided? If I don't kill you, I will have no further use. Then they will kill me. It's your fault for being impatient and seizing the Immortal Realm first!"
This was also Yun Fan's stance.
The Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable said coldly, "Indeed. But are you truly certain you can kill me? I am not comparable to the Immortal Martial King!"
Yun Fan replied, "I know, but I wish to try!"
"You..."
The Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable was enraged. This brat dared to be so arrogant, truly not taking him seriously.
To this end, he said to Yun Fan, "If you wish to fight, then fight! Do you think I, a dignified Immortal Martial expert, would fear you!"
Without a doubt, an enraged Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable was a terrifying existence. Although Yun Fan was not weak, he was confident that he could unleash his full power and instantly kill Yun Fan.
Then, let's see who would dare to snatch the spoils.
To this end, he immediately dragged Yun Fan into his world, preparing to instantly kill Yun Fan.
The five outside were stunned.
"This brat is utterly foolish. Why does he have no defenses?"
"Exactly, too foolish. This time, he'll likely be instantly killed by the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable!"
Some sighed, having expected Yun Fan to surprise them again, but this time he had truly disappointed them.
"After the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable instantly kills this brat, who among us will deal with him?"
Someone among them asked.
For them, Yun Fan's life or death was not important; what mattered was that the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable had to die.
If the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable died, they would have one less competitor. However, clearly, none of them wanted to confront the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable.
After all, if handled poorly, he would again become prey for the others.
Therefore, at this moment, none of them were willing to take a step forward.
After waiting for a long time, in the next moment, a stream of light flashed. They knew that the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable would surely kill Yun Fan and then flaunt Yun Fan's head before them.
However, unexpectedly, the one who emerged was Yun Fan, yes, it was Yun Fan.
"How could it be him?"
The five looked at Yun Fan in disbelief. After all, Yun Fan had no advantage whatsoever!
At this moment, a hint of apprehension began to creep into their minds. Although no one mentioned it, it was clear that they genuinely harbored the urge to kill Yun Fan.
Yun Fan naturally understood their intentions. Therefore, to dispel their killing intent, he had made preparations.
"Pfft!"
In the next moment, Yun Fan coughed up a mouthful of blood, appearing to be on the verge of death, which lessened the killing intent of the five.
But Yun Fan knew that this scene was far from enough; a stronger medicine was needed.
"Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable, you truly are a pitiable fellow. To have your realm collapse during battle, allowing me to take advantage. I can only say that my fate is not to perish!"
Upon hearing this, the five instantly changed their expressions. No one had expected such an accident to occur. They had wondered how Yun Fan could possibly kill the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable, especially when the Immortal Martial Celestial Venerable had seemingly killed Yun Fan instantly.
It turned out that an unfortunate soul had suffered a relapse of an old injury during the fight, leading to a collapse of his realm. That made sense.
Yun Fan still had a chance to continue being their tool.
