"Is that so?"
In an instant, Ba Tian struck again, and at the same time, the Lord of the Universe also joined the fray.
With two peerless powerhouses, they could crush any opposing force. In their eyes, even if Yun Fan had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to resist.
As expected, under their combined suppression, Yun Fan gradually fell into a disadvantage, being beaten by both of them.
"The opportunity has come!"
At this moment, the Lord of the Universe unleashed a heavy punch towards Yun Fan's divine soul. However, unexpectedly, at this crucial juncture, Yun Fan unleashed a brand new power.
Even though the Lord of the Universe had just changed bodies, he was almost shattered by Yun Fan's attack.
"Chaos Power!"
The Lord of the Universe immediately reacted. That's right, it was Chaos Power. He had spent many years studying Chaos Power.
Even if he only detected a trace of similarity in the aura, he knew it was Chaos Power, but it was even stronger than when he possessed Chaos Power, not even on the same level!
"What?"
Ba Tian also looked at Yun Fan in shock.
The Lord of the Universe said, "How can you possess Chaos Power?"
"This is also thanks to you!"
"My credit?"
The Lord of the Universe looked at Yun Fan, puzzled.
Yun Fan said, "That's right. When I defeated you and refined your body, I discovered a Chaos Seed. With the help of this Chaos Seed, I obtained Chaos Power and integrated it into my Battle Heaven Power, making me stronger than I am now!"
"Hiss!"
The two of them gasped in unison, never expecting Yun Fan to have such means.
Especially the Lord of the Universe, his aura was in disarray, completely stimulated by Yun Fan. This was exactly the effect Yun Fan wanted.
In an instant, Yun Fan abandoned Ba Tian, the strongest existence, and attacked the Lord of the Universe.
Bang!
A heavy punch landed, and the Lord of the Universe's body was almost torn apart.
"Why?"
The Lord of the Universe asked in confusion, "Why can I only use Chaos Power once, while you can integrate it?"
He had spent ten thousand years studying it and had barely grasped a clue. Yet, Yun Fan had achieved what he had always dreamed of in such a short time after defeating him.
Yun Fan said, "Because I am the third strongest. Is that enough?"
"No..."
The Lord of the Universe said angrily, "These powers should have belonged to me. You have taken my power!"
He was unwilling. If he could have achieved what Yun Fan did, mastering Chaos Power proficiently, he could have defeated even the strongest in the future.
But now his power had been taken by Yun Fan and no longer belonged to him.
Yun Fan said, "I didn't take your power. I obtained it all through my own strength. Lord of the Universe, your life is so difficult, why don't I personally send you on your way!"
In an instant, a beam of light descended from Yun Fan's hand, piercing the Lord of the Universe.
The Lord of the Universe once again reached his weakest moment.
"Trash!"
Ba Tian killed Yun Fan in anger. He now realized how difficult Yun Fan was to deal with. Although Yun Fan had not truly stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor yet, he was so fierce even before reaching it. If he truly became an Immortal Emperor and was on the same level as him, he would likely be able to kill him instantly.
Therefore, at this moment, he absolutely would not let Yun Fan live.
In an instant, he engaged Yun Fan with his full power.
Under this sudden attack, Yun Fan was indeed injured, but he did not fight with Ba Tian.
Instead, he rushed directly at the Lord of the Universe.
Although there would be a life-and-death battle with Ba Tian, the Lord of the Universe had to be killed first.
The Lord of the Universe was almost spitting blood.
He never expected that after only recovering some strength, and not even reaching his peak, he would be so badly beaten by Yun Fan.
Therefore, at this moment, he fought Yun Fan desperately.
It was certain that after this battle, he would die, and Yun Fan might also be taken with him.
But the Lord of the Universe did not want to die. His plans and dreams had yet to be realized.
If he died like this, everything would turn into dust.
"Master, help me!"
The Lord of the Universe cried out to Ba Tian.
But at this moment, Ba Tian had his own plans. "You're a lost cause. I hope you can still contribute something before you die!"
At this moment, Ba Tian had no intention of intervening. He even sealed off the surroundings, preventing the Lord of the Universe from escaping. Even if he were to die, he would try to injure Yun Fan.
Although he was far superior to Yun Fan, he still couldn't kill this monstrous Yun Fan. At this moment, the Lord of the Universe's role became apparent.
Seeing that Ba Tian was not helping and had even sealed off the surroundings, the Lord of the Universe felt despair. He never expected such an outcome.
However, at this moment, Yun Fan's fighting spirit was extremely strong, and he had been suppressed and forced to retreat since the beginning.
Before long, he would die at Yun Fan's hands. He was afraid.
At this moment, he said to Yun Fan, "Third strongest, how about we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled, thinking if this guy had gone mad, still thinking of making a deal at this point.
The Lord of the Universe said, "You spare me, and I won't trouble you, how about that?"
However, Yun Fan said, "It's not about whether you trouble me or not now, it's about me killing you!"
"If I self-detonate and fight you with all my might, it's undeniable that you can kill me, but you will also be severely injured. Can you kill my master?"
The Lord of the Universe advised Yun Fan.
"It seems that I really can't kill him!"
Yun Fan said directly.
"Therefore, stop troubling me. You deal with him alone!"
The Lord of the Universe said again.
He knew that if Yun Fan truly did as he said, then even Ba Tian, who was only looking for an opportunity, would have to join in.
And fight Yun Fan together.
However, Yun Fan did not fall for this trick and said directly, "Sorry, I'm going to kill both of you!"
In an instant, Yun Fan stopped wasting his breath and unleashed a punch, smashing heavily onto the Lord of the Universe's body.
Yun Fan unleashed eighteen consecutive punches on the Lord of the Universe. Let alone his body, even his divine soul was on the verge of shattering.
At this moment, knowing that there was no hope of survival, the Lord of the Universe became enraged and directly burned his life to launch a final blow at Yun Fan.
This blow would be the most fatal one.
Boom!
At this moment, within this sealed domain, a world-shattering explosion occurred.
After the explosion subsided, Yun Fan, supporting his swaying body, walked out of the domain. Although the Lord of the Universe had been suppressed by him, it was undeniable that the power generated by the Lord of the Universe's explosion was also very deadly, and Yun Fan could not evade it.
Thus, such an accident occurred. He felt like his body was about to shatter, and his strength had greatly weakened.
Fortunately, he had activated his physique in advance, and his bloodline flowed within him, making him slightly better, but it was still not optimistic.
"Kid, as I expected, you wouldn't die in this explosion!"
Ba Tian said to Yun Fan disdainfully.
Of course, the Lord of the Universe was not so lucky; he was completely dead.
It had to be said that this guy was quite unlucky. He was originally the strongest Lord of the Universe in history, but due to the arrival of the uncanny and the Battle Heaven race, he became a background character.
The Lord of the Universe was the strongest existence in the universe, but in this era, the Lord of the Universe was tragic.
Because the Lord of the Universe was not the strongest.
Now, his era had come to an end. A generation of heroes, even with self-destruction, could not take Yun Fan with him.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "It's not that easy to kill me! Some people call you Tian Ba, and some call you Ba Tian, but they are all the same to me, because you will die soon!"
Facing Yun Fan's mockery, Ba Tian said disdainfully, "Kid, even at this point, you're still thinking of killing me. You think too highly of yourself!"
With that, he directly attacked Yun Fan. This time, no matter what, he had to kill Yun Fan.
In an instant, Ba Tian unleashed the strongest cosmic power beyond the Immortal Emperor level, constantly attacking Yun Fan.
He held nothing back.
He knew that this was Yun Fan's weakest stage. If he couldn't kill Yun Fan now, he would never have another chance.
The battle between the two was earth-shattering because both wanted the other dead.
Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan also held nothing back, combining his two powers and attacking Ba Tian directly!
Ba Tian did not expect that Yun Fan, in his weakened state, could still erupt with such power, completely exceeding his expectations.
At this moment, Ba Tian condensed a strongest power.
Of course, this was his final blow. It wasn't that he had no other power, but if even his strongest blow couldn't kill Yun Fan, then there was no point in continuing the fight.
He wouldn't be able to kill Yun Fan by continuing.
When he saw this blow, Yun Fan's expression became serious, but he had no choice but to block it.
Because this blow had already locked down the surrounding space, giving him no chance to dodge.
At this very moment, Yun Fan decisively resisted.
Boom!
After this blow landed, even the space around Yun Fan shattered into powder. This was the power of transcending the Immortal Emperor.
Such destructive power was something even Yun Fan, who was fighting now, could not achieve.
At this moment, Ba Tian was waiting, wanting to see how Yun Fan would die under this blow!
However, to his surprise, Yun Fan did not die. Not only did he not die, but from the looks of it, he seemed unharmed.
Hiss!
Ba Tian gasped, unable to believe the outcome.
"Tian Ba, your strength disappoints me. Too weak!"
Yun Fan said, "You've made your move, now it's my turn!"
"Is that so?"
Ba Tian did not leave in a hurry. He also wanted to see how strong Yun Fan really was.
At this very moment, Yun Fan combined his two powers into one and unleashed a punch. A beam of light pierced through.
At the critical moment, Ba Tian conjured a shield, temporarily blocking Yun Fan's attack.
"Unfortunately, your strength also disappoints me!"
Ba Tian said disdainfully, "Although your move is powerful, it can't even break my defense. You're just like that!"
"Is that so?"
The next moment, Yun Fan increased his strength.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, Ba Tian's shield was broken.
"How is this possible?"
Ba Tian's expression changed drastically, and then Yun Fan's punch struck him.
Pfft!
Ba Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. He never expected this to be Yun Fan's ultimate killing move. He never expected to be hit by Yun Fan due to his carelessness.
"Kid, you're ruthless!"
Ba Tian said coldly, "But our feud is just beginning!"
With that, he directly traversed the void and left.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Yun Fan chased after him, but Ba Tian retaliated with a burst of power.
Although Yun Fan easily neutralized it, he did not dare to pursue further. The reason was that he was severely injured.
He had already been heavily wounded in his battle with the Lord of the Universe, and coupled with Ba Tian's blow, it was enough to take half his life.
He had used all his strength when unleashing that move, so at this moment, let alone Ba Tian escaping, if Ba Tian hadn't escaped, it would have been him who would have had to run.
If he had been allowed to fight Ba Tian with full strength from the beginning, he was confident that he was not weaker than Ba Tian.
After all, the gap between him and Ba Tian was too large. Being able to fight Ba Tian to a draw was already his greatest victory.
He had even created the first myth and miracle since the birth of the universe.
At this moment, Yun Fan turned and left.
When he returned to the alliance, everyone was shocked. They never expected Yun Fan to give them another surprise.
This surprise was that even the Lord of the Universe had been killed by Yun Fan.
Without a doubt, this was tremendous news for them. They had expected a bitter struggle and might not have succeeded in the end.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan had accomplished what they had always dreamed of inadvertently.
Even the First Sword and others felt a little embarrassed, as compared to Yun Fan, they had merely been tagging along.
At this moment, Qing Ming and Qing Xuan exchanged glances and said directly to Yun Fan, "Husband, please ascend to the position of Lord of the Universe!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was instantly stunned. He never expected them to ask him to become the Lord of the Universe.
Before he could react, everyone knelt on the ground, all requesting him to ascend to the position of Lord of the Universe.
Yun Fan said, "Don't rush. I haven't decided yet!"
In fact, he was not interested in the so-called Lord of the Universe. He just wanted to spend time with his family.
But under the heavy demands, he relented, but whether he would take the position of Lord of the Universe was still uncertain.
"Then we'll give you three days to consider!"
Qing Xuan said, "During this time, we can also clean up the remnants left behind by the Lord of the Universe. These people must not be let go!"
"En!"
The First Sword and others nodded. After all, this was their only chance to make a presence. They had to seize this opportunity firmly.
At this moment, Yun Fan met Qing Xian alone.
"Senior, I'm sorry. I killed Jun Wuhen!"
Yun Fan said directly. After all, Jun Wuhen was his nominal father-in-law, but in that situation, he had no other choice.
If Jun Wuhen didn't die, he would have. Yun Fan would never be so magnanimous as to sacrifice his own life for Jun Wuhen.
Even though he was his nominal father-in-law, according to the prophecy on the spiritual mirror, if he failed, Jun Wuhen would slaughter the entire alliance.
Including Jun Wuhen's daughter, Qing You, and his woman, Qing Xian.
Therefore, Yun Fan did not feel much guilt, but he still had to give Qing Xian an explanation.
In his opinion, Qing Xian would definitely blame him afterwards, and even resent him for it.
After all, he had killed her man without a word. Anyone else would not have accepted it!
However, Qing Xian said, "I don't blame you!"
"En?"
Yun Fan was instantly confused. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Qing Xian said, "Because I knew long ago that he was a selfish person who would sacrifice anyone for his goals! Including me!"
Yun Fan was stunned. He never expected Qing Xian to see through Jun Wuhen's true nature so quickly. It was beyond his expectations.
Qing Xian said, "Don't mention this again in the future!"
"Okay!"
Yun Fan nodded. Since this matter was resolved, he had no more worries. However, he truly did not want the position of Lord of the Universe.
However, on this very day, Dragon King and Hong Chen San Xiao also arrived.
"You're amazing, kid! I didn't expect you to have solved even the Lord of the Universe. It seems your strength has surpassed ours!"
"I wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare!"
Yun Fan said, "Senior, although I have dealt with the Lord of the Universe, I have attracted a hidden danger!"
"Who?"
"Tian Ba!"
Yun Fan said directly.
Hearing this, Dragon King and Hong Chen San Xiao's expressions changed. They never expected Tian Ba to appear. They all knew that Tian Ba could not possibly be dead.
But they never expected him to appear in this era.
Afterwards, Yun Fan told them the whole story.
Hong Chen San Xiao said, "Tian Ba is a very wicked person. My husband has told me the situation. Even the uncanny race was brought in by him!"
"En!"
Yun Fan nodded. This was no longer a secret.
Dragon King said, "Then you must be extremely careful of this person. However, to prevent him from repeating his mistakes, young friend, you must ascend to the position of Lord of the Universe!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was surprised that even the two seniors were here to persuade him to take the position of Lord of the Universe.
"Senior, how about I return this position to you?"
Without a word, Yun Fan kicked the ball back to Hong Chen San Xiao, as Hong Chen San Xiao was the previous Lord of the Universe.
Although not of this current term.
Unexpectedly, Hong Chen San Xiao rolled her eyes at him. "I have no such intention anymore. Being with my husband is much more joyful than being the Lord of the Universe. If I had thought of this earlier, I wouldn't have waited for so many eras!"
"Uh..."
Yun Fan was speechless. In Hong Chen San Xiao's eyes, ruling the universe was not as good as spending more time with her husband.
"Then what if there's no Lord of the Universe? What happens then?"
This was Yun Fan's plan. The universe was this big, and there was no need for anyone to be the Lord of the Universe.
Wouldn't it be better for everyone to live in peace?
However, Dragon King said, "No! The position of Lord of the Universe must be filled. Otherwise, without the blessing of the Lord of the Universe, the universe will fall apart!"
"Is it that serious?"
Yun Fan never expected things to reach such a critical point.
"Of course!"
Dragon King said, "As long as there is the blessing of the Lord of the Universe, the universe can be restored to its original state, and you are the best candidate!"
"Then can't I choose someone else?"
In Yun Fan's opinion, he could choose his women. They could do it too, as he just wanted to be a hands-off manager!
Unexpectedly, Dragon King said directly, "Their strength is not yet at the level required to be the Lord of the Universe! If their strength is insufficient, they will be反噬ed by the universe. Unless one day their strength reaches the required level, you can choose to transfer it to them!"
At this moment, Yun Fan was completely dumbfounded. He never expected such an outcome. He felt very tragic, meaning he couldn't avoid it.
At this moment, Hong Chen San Xiao said to Yun Fan, "Kid, the reason you don't want to take the position of Lord of the Universe is probably because you don't know the benefits of it!"
"Benefits?"
Yun Fan looked at Hong Chen San Xiao, puzzled, not knowing what kind of benefits awaited him.
Hong Chen San Xiao said, "By taking the position of Lord of the Universe, you will obtain the power of the universe. Although the power of the universe is not as strong as your Battle Heaven Power, if you obtain the power of the universe, your cultivation speed will be even faster!"
"There's another benefit!"
Dragon King added, "The so-called respect of all races is just empty talk. The real benefit is that you can control everything in the universe. Even if Tian Ba wants to bring in external enemies, you can detect it and prepare in advance!"
"Exactly!"
Hong Chen San Xiao said, "If you don't want to be the Lord of the Universe in the future, you can transfer it!"
Being so accommodating, Yun Fan agreed immediately.
"Okay, I'll take the position of Lord of the Universe!"
At this moment, Dragon King continued, "However, before that, you must pass the universe's test to become the Lord of the Universe!"
"So troublesome?"
Yun Fan thought it would be enough to just announce it. He didn't expect so many procedures.
"Of course, do you think the position of Lord of the Universe is something you can take just by wanting it!"
"Alright!"
Yun Fan stopped wasting his breath. "Please take me to the test, senior!"
"Let's go!"
The next moment, the two of them whisked Yun Fan away and brought him to an ancient place with only an altar.
But the sacrifice was not of people, but of the universe itself.
"All things have spirits. This is your test. Husband, let's go!"
Hong Chen San Xiao said to Dragon King.
Afterwards, the two of them left, leaving Yun Fan there for the test.
This left Yun Fan utterly bewildered.
However, he still walked onto the altar.
Instantly, the altar trembled and brought Yun Fan to an unknown world.
This world was incredibly magical and complex.
At this moment, several phantoms descended and appeared around Yun Fan.
"Congratulations, you are the thirteenth Lord of the Universe!"
The leading phantom congratulated Yun Fan.
"I'm becoming the Lord of the Universe already?"
Yun Fan was confused. If the test was this simple, it wouldn't be called a test. He always felt that something big was about to happen.
As expected, at this moment, one of the phantoms said, "Every past Lord of the Universe who comes here needs to defeat three of us phantoms to become the true Lord of the Universe!"
Yun Fan never expected that this was the prelude to a fight!
They asked Yun Fan, "Are you ready?"
"Wait a moment!"
Yun Fan asked, "Seniors, what is your origin?"
"We are the universe!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan immediately understood. Indeed, all things have spirits. They were the universe, but they could not leave this place.
Therefore, during the universe's calamities, they could do nothing but watch it be destroyed.
Fortunately, throughout the countless eras, they had been quite lucky, overcoming crisis after crisis.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Seniors, let's start with you!"
He said to the phantom in front of him.
"Very good!"
In an instant, the other party attacked, but upon sensing that Yun Fan was only at the ninth realm, he immediately stopped.
"En?"
Yun Fan was somewhat confused in his heart. Why did he stop for no reason?
He said to Yun Fan, "You are not even a Saint King. You are not qualified to be the Lord of the Universe. You may leave!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was stunned.
What was the realm of Saint King? In his opinion, it was likely the realm after Immortal Emperor.
At this moment, they said to Yun Fan, "Only by becoming a Saint King are you qualified to compete for the position of Lord of the Universe. Otherwise, you won't even pass the test!"
It wasn't that they looked down on Yun Fan, but without transcending the Immortal Emperor, it was simply courting death.
At this moment, Yun Fan had no intention of leaving and said, "Seniors, I still want to try!"
Since he was here, and the atmosphere had been built up, it would be illogical not to test himself.
"Are you sure?"
At this moment, the phantoms' eyes showed confusion. They knew that past Lords of the Universe were all at the Saint King level.
Unexpectedly, a ninth-realm brat not only refused to leave but also wanted to try. It was completely beyond their expectations.
"I wonder if you seniors would give me this opportunity?"
Yun Fan asked tentatively. If they gave him the opportunity, it would be fine. If not, then so be it.
They said, "You might die!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Yun Fan said, "At worst, I can surrender. I don't believe I won't even have the chance to surrender!"
"You are very bold, but we will not hold back! We will still test you with the strength of a Saint King!"
"No problem!"
Yun Fan nodded.
At this very moment, a phantom attacked, launching a full-force strike.
Seeing this, Yun Fan did not hesitate and unleashed a strike, engaging the phantom in battle.
As expected, this phantom was very strong. Even Yun Fan could only passively fall into a disadvantage.
During this time, Yun Fan continuously attacked, showing no fear towards the phantom.
The many phantoms were shocked. They never expected that Yun Fan, who appeared frail, was actually strong. At the ninth realm, he could contend with a Saint King.
Such talent and strength were unheard of. It had to be said that they had underestimated Yun Fan.
After hundreds of rounds, the battle could have ended, but now, there was still a long time before it would end.
During this period, Yun Fan continuously accumulated strength, going from being at a disadvantage to being on par.
After about a thousand rounds, everyone was shocked again. It was not for any other reason, but because Yun Fan had actually gained the upper hand.
They felt that Yun Fan was the type of man who was slow to heat up but had great potential. Although his strength was not good at the beginning, he gradually became very strong.
And finally, he turned defeat into victory. Yun Fan's performance was completely beyond their expectations.
At this moment, they finally realized that Yun Fan was truly not simple. Such strength was enough to awe everything.
During this period, the phantom fighting Yun Fan stopped.
"I lose. You win this round!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was dumbfounded. He had only managed to gain the upper hand, not completely suppress the opponent.
Even if he were to defeat the opponent, it would take at least hundreds more rounds, and during this period, there must be no accidents.
Unexpectedly, the opponent directly surrendered.
He said to Yun Fan, "You have won. Being able to fight me to this extent at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm is something only you have achieved in all of history!"
His evaluation of Yun Fan was extremely high, so high that Yun Fan doubted if he had heard correctly.
At this moment, Yun Fan quickly replied, "Senior, you are too kind!"
"Although you have defeated me, you still have two opponents. Are you ready?"
He asked Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "I am ready! This time, I want to challenge two opponents!"
"What?"
These phantoms were stunned. They never expected Yun Fan to make such a bold decision, which was completely beyond their expectations.
Was Yun Fan truly not afraid of death?
They knew that even a one-on-one fight, Yun Fan did not have the advantage, yet he wanted to take on two opponents at once.
Even they did not know if Yun Fan had gone mad.
Of course, Yun Fan made this decision not out of recklessness. In fact, he was a very clear-headed person and knew what he was doing.
As it stood, he had no advantage, but his condition had reached its peak.
He wanted to see if he could withstand two phantoms with his peak strength!
"You said it yourself. Once you've decided, you can't change it!"
They said to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan nodded, "Seniors, please rest assured. I will not change my mind. Even if I lose, I will accept it!"
"That's a pity. With your strength, you would surely win a one-on-one duel, but in a two-on-one battle, you have no chance of winning!"
The next moment, two phantoms suddenly attacked Yun Fan.
Yun Fan did not hesitate and engaged them. As expected, when facing two phantoms, even Yun Fan felt a little overwhelmed.
He was completely suppressed, but at this moment, Yun Fan did not give up. He switched from offense to defense. Only after fully understanding the enemy would he take the initiative to attack.
This was also the safest method he currently controlled.
