He knew that if he could just complete the path of the universe, he would most likely break through to Immortal Emperor, but at most he could break through by one realm.
Moreover, if his luck was bad, he might not even break through by one realm.
To have his Immortal Emperor First Realm face a peerless expert of the Fifth Realm, what was he thinking?
He wouldn't dare to do something like that even in his dreams.
Yun Fan, who originally didn't take Qing Lian's threat seriously, suddenly felt a tremor of fear in his heart at this moment.
At this moment, he smiled at Bi Lian and said, "With our relationship, if you speak a few good words for me later, she won't make things difficult for me, right!"
However, Bi Lian said, "I'm afraid that won't work!"
"Why?"
Yun Fan asked doubtfully.
Bi Lian then said, "Do you know why my master betrayed the Zhan Tian Clan?"
"No!"
Yun Fan was truly speechless; how could he possibly know!
"Because she was hurt by the Zhan Tian Clan, so she swore that she would kill every single person from the Zhan Tian Clan she encounters!"
"That ruthless!"
Yun Fan was dumbfounded. "This means that even if this matter of ours didn't exist, as long as she locked onto me, I would die without a doubt!"
"That is so!"
Bi Lian said, "My master left a petal on me, actually to monitor me, to ensure I wouldn't break my chastity. I didn't expect it to backfire!"
With Bi Lian's words, Yun Fan felt like he had profited, but now, survival was the most crucial thing.
No, survival wasn't the most crucial thing; the most crucial thing was to clear the trials first!
He had set a new record for the fastest completion of all time.
From the first trial to the fifth, he had taken less than a year.
At this moment, he put everything aside and asked Bi Lian, "Do you know what the sixth trial is?"
Bi Lian said, "The sixth trial is actually a civil war!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Fan looked at Bi Lian doubtfully.
Bi Lian then said, "In the sixth trial, there are seven thrones. Numerous heavenly talents must stand out in the sixth trial to be eligible to ascend to a throne!"
"To put it bluntly, the sixth trial is a competition among the heavenly talents. Killing one opponent means one less competitor! If one can sit on the strongest throne, they can directly break through one realm!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan suddenly became interested, as his strongest opponent was Qing Lian.
And he had already broken through to the Seventh Realm. If he could sit on the strongest throne in the sixth trial, he would directly break through to the Eighth Realm.
Such a benefit was completely free for him, so Yun Fan was incredibly excited.
"Is there no possibility that the strongest throne has already been taken, and someone has already cleared the sixth trial!"
Yun Fan's eyes showed some doubt. If that were the case, it wouldn't be worth it at all.
But Bi Lian said, "Impossible. It's not even been two full years yet. Only when two years are up will the thrones appear! That will also be the time when the heavenly talents kill each other most fiercely, the most brutal time, with fewer than one in ten surviving!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Fan understood the seriousness of the matter.
Therefore, he said to Bi Lian, "Then let's cooperate, but I must sit on the strongest throne!"
"Tch!"
Bi Lian said dismissively, "In this trial, let's first think about how to survive! After all, the top three heavenly talents are too strong!"
"What are we afraid of when we join forces!"
Yun Fan said, "Let's go! Let's go see the situation!"
"Mm!"
Bi Lian nodded. The top ten heavenly talents, from fourth to tenth, were actually similar, but the top three were different.
They were truly powerful, not only possessing strong bloodlines but also unique cultivation realms.
In this trial, there was a possibility of the top ten heavenly talents perishing.
In the fourth trial, Nan Po and Long Jian also had the hope of reaching this trial, as they were also among the top ten heavenly talents.
But because they had set their sights on the monstrous Yun Fan, they perished prematurely.
In the sixth trial, Yun Fan initially felt it was vast, but at this moment, when he sensed a powerful existence, he felt that the sixth trial was not that large.
At this moment, a suffocating force in the air had locked onto the two of them.
Bi Lian frowned and then said, "I didn't expect our luck to be so bad, to encounter that person!"
"Who?"
"The heavenly talent of the Golden Clan, the Three-Crown King!"
Bi Lian stated directly.
"Does his name have any meaning?"
Yun Fan asked doubtfully, as the name was so imposing, it was clear he was not someone to be trifled with.
Bi Lian then said, "It doesn't have any meaning, but the Three-Crown King is extremely powerful. Although he is ranked fourth among the Ten Great Heavenly Talents, he has the strength to contend for the top three. After all, the third-ranked is not much stronger than the Three-Crown King!"
"So that's how it is!"
Yun Fan asked, "If I defeat the Three-Crown King, does that mean I will be fourth!"
"Still thinking about defeating him at this point!"
Bi Lian said, "The Three-Crown King possesses the Golden Bloodline, which is incredibly terrifying. But fortunately, it's not the most brutal time yet. As long as we don't provoke him, he shouldn't make a move against us!"
Initially, Yun Fan felt that Bi Lian was too cowardly, but when he saw the Three-Crown King, Yun Fan realized that being a bit cowardly was the right approach.
After all, the Three-Crown King was not alone; he had a large group of subordinates, and these subordinates were of very high quality.
All of them were at the Immortal Emperor level. At first glance, there were no less than ten of them. Such a lineup, combined with the monstrous Golden Bloodline of the Three-Crown King,
If he and Bi Lian were separated, they would surely die.
Unexpectedly, on the path of the universe, they were also forming social organizations. Yun Fan didn't know what to say.
Just as the two were about to ignore them, the Three-Crown King and his group blocked their path.
As expected, Yun Fan knew it wouldn't be that simple, and it indeed wasn't.
"Three-Crown King, we have no intention of fighting you. Could you please let us pass?"
Bi Lian asked tentatively.
But the Three-Crown King revealed a greedy smile. "Yes, but one of you must stay behind!"
Seeing this pattern, Yun Fan knew that the Three-Crown King had taken a liking to Bi Lian and wanted to seize her. He was already familiar with such cliché plots.
After all, with Bi Lian's beauty, what man wouldn't be tempted?
But now, Bi Lian was his woman, so as a man, he had to step forward.
"One must stay behind?"
Yun Fan said directly, "Don't make things difficult for her. It's absolutely impossible to keep her here, because I don't agree!"
Bi Lian was deeply moved in her heart. Although their previous encounter was forced, she had to admit that Yun Fan had a strong sense of responsibility.
It seemed that Yun Fan wasn't as detestable as she had imagined.
Upon hearing this, the Three-Crown King sneered playfully. "No problem, she can go. You stay!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Fan and Bi Lian stood frozen, beginning to doubt their lives. The script wasn't supposed to go like this!
The Three-Crown King then smiled playfully. "Kid, I'll let her go, but you must stay and become this king's plaything!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan finally understood what he meant. This ending was truly unsatisfactory.
Bi Lian certainly wouldn't agree. Yun Fan was her man, and the thought of Yun Fan being with another man was disgusting.
Of course, Yun Fan would never agree either. He thought he was the pervert, but now he had finally found someone even more perverted than him.
Yun Fan said coldly, "Dream on! Either you let us pass, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"Such a fiery temper? I like it!"
The Three-Crown King smiled greedily.
Yun Fan's anger instantly flared up, so he immediately said, "Damn it, I've tolerated you for a long time. Do you dare to have a one-on-one fight with me?"
He knew that if the Three-Crown King's subordinates attacked together, he and Bi Lian would be at a great disadvantage, so at this moment, he decided to challenge him to a duel.
Upon hearing this, the Three-Crown King said playfully, "This king enjoys conquering you personally!" Su Dan Novel Network
Then, he stepped out. In the midst of the howling sandstorm, two energies were about to clash.
The Three-Crown King made his move. After all, in his eyes, Yun Fan was only at the Seventh Realm, while he was an Eighth Realm expert. Crushing Yun Fan was not a problem at all.
"Bang!"
After one punch, Yun Fan was sent staggering back by the force!
"The Golden Bloodline is indeed domineering!"
Yun Fan gasped, confirming that the Three-Crown King's strength was far superior to that of Long Jian and Nan Po.
The next moment, the Three-Crown King attacked again. He now had only one objective: to crush Yun Fan.
"Boom!"
After another exchange, this time, Yun Fan was fully prepared, so he was actually evenly matched with him.
In the blink of an eye, they exchanged several blows, and the wind and sand swirled, drawing the attention of everyone present to their battle.
They knew the Three-Crown King was invincible, otherwise, so many people wouldn't follow him. What surprised them was that Yun Fan could fight the Three-Crown King to a draw.
It was simply unbelievable.
After all, the Three-Crown King was preparing to contend for the top three.
In the endless sandstorm, the Three-Crown King unleashed his full power, and waves of energy continuously crushed towards Yun Fan.
The Golden Bloodline was displayed to its fullest.
Yun Fan did not hesitate either. He knew that without unleashing his Zhan Tian power, he would have no chance of winning against a peerless expert like the Three-Crown King.
When the Golden Bloodline collided with the Zhan Tian power, a sandstorm tens of meters high erupted.
Everyone's expressions changed instantly, and they all wondered who this unknown person, Yun Fan, was, to be able to fight the Three-Crown King so fiercely.
Let alone Yun Fan not being defeated, even if he were defeated now, it would be enough to shock them all.
This battle was truly astonishing.
"He's that strong?"
At this moment, Bi Lian had a clear understanding of Yun Fan's combat power. Before, she only felt that the terrifying entity was not Yun Fan, but the Devouring Flame.
However, now that Yun Fan had shown his full strength, she realized that Yun Fan's strength was indeed unfathomable.
Under the descending pressure of the Golden Bloodline, Yun Fan could still hold his own against the Three-Crown King.
In fact, this was hardly a descending pressure; the truly monstrous thing was the Zhan Tian power!
At this moment, two golden lights completely merged into the sandstorm. The two exchanged dozens of rounds of fist-to-fist combat.
Then, both of them retreated simultaneously. Clearly, they both knew that the other's strength was unfathomable. If it were an ordinary heavenly talent, Yun Fan could defeat them by crossing two levels.
But this was the heaven-defying Golden Bloodline; even crossing one cultivation realm, Yun Fan had to treat it with extreme caution.
