Xiao Tianzhan reached out and grabbed at the air, and a giant, transparent ice hand reached out to him.

The icy hand seemed to descend from the heavens, its frigid aura capable of freezing anything, and it fiercely grabbed at the King of Light.

"You can crush me with one hand?"

The King of Light wore a mocking expression: "Even the Dark Emperor couldn't crush me with one hand. You think you have that power?"

Its whole body radiated a bright light, as if flames were burning fiercely.

The Ice Hand had already begun to melt before it even got close to the King of Light.

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Tianzhan said in astonishment.

“Nothing is impossible. I told you that even the Dark Emperor couldn’t crush me with one hand. His realm is already in the late stage of the Heavenly One Realm, while you are only in the early stage of the Heavenly One Realm. The difference in your strength is huge.”

Countless lightsabers beside the King of Light flew toward Xiao Tianzhan's icy hand.

The lightsaber contained equally terrifying power, and it directly dismembered Ice Hand.

Xiao Tianzhan's powerful attack was easily neutralized by the Bright King.

"This is the power of the King of Light, this is the strength of a Heavenly King of the Dark Temple, a powerhouse at the late Earth Heaven Realm fighting against a powerhouse at the early Heaven One Realm."

"I feel that if the Dark Temple hadn't been suddenly destroyed, the Northern Emperor wouldn't have been able to conquer the entire Northern Region with the strength of the Dark Temple."

"No wonder the King of Light has remained so calm. It turns out he really has the strength to confront the Northern Emperor. So much time has passed, and we have underestimated the Dark Temple."

...

The battle between Xiao Tianzhan and the Bright Heaven King has alarmed the entire Dao Domain.

Many powerful figures at the Earthly Realm sent their clones to watch the battle.

The most surprised was Chen Xuan, who felt that he was evenly matched with the King of Light in their battle.

He felt that the so-called Heavenly King of the Dark Temple was nothing special.

Chen Xuan didn't think he could withstand Xiao Tianzhan's furious attack just now.

"The matter is almost over, let's leave it at that."

The King of Light sighed: "I thought it would be difficult to kill you, but in our fight just now, I found that your strength is much weaker than I imagined. Once I break through to the Heavenly Realm, you will have virtually no chance of winning against me."

"The only thing I don't know is how the Dao Domain Emperor compares to you. If he's on the same level as you, I think he could rule the entire Dao Domain with his strength."

"Everyone says that each generation is stronger than the last. That may be true in other realms, but it may not be true in our Dao Domain. To be precise, it's that each generation is weaker than the last. Your strength is too weak."

"If we put you in our Dark Temple, you can only be a substitute Heavenly King, and you will never become a true Heavenly King. If you know what's good for you, you should leave the Northern Region as soon as possible."

Xiao Tianzhan was so angry that his face turned red. He roared, "Who do you think you are, daring to comment on me here?"

He exuded an icy aura, causing the surrounding air to freeze and produce a "crackling" sound.

Xiao Tianzhan reached out and grabbed at the King of Light in the void. The King of Light was surrounded by cold air, and frost appeared on his body.

In the blink of an eye.

King of Light was frozen in place, becoming a sculpture.

"broken."

Xiao Tianzhan squeezed hard.

"Click-click-click!"

The sound of ice shattering echoed from the body of the King of Light, as his flesh and blood rapidly disintegrated.

If these ice blocks were to shatter completely, the King of Light would also shatter.

"This power is very good. If I'm not careful, you could really kill me."

The King of Light burst forth with blinding light, and all the ice on his body shattered.

Damn it!

Xiao Tianzhan wanted to make another move and kill the King of Light.

"This matter should end here."

The King of Light transformed into a beam of light and shot off into the distance.

"Next time we meet, you might not have the leverage to make a move on me. This Northern Region belongs to our Dark Temple and to the people of our Northern Region, not to the people of your Central Region."

“If you had treated my Northern Region human race well, I might not have taken back this Northern Region. Unfortunately, you have disappointed me greatly. I will definitely take back this Northern Region.”

Xiao Tianzhan angrily said, "It's not that easy to leave."

He was unwilling to let the King of Light escape, so he caught up at top speed.

From their exchange just now, Xiao Tianzhan realized the gap between himself and the Bright King.

If Guangming Mingwang broke through to the Tianyi realm, Xiao Tianzhan knew he had no chance of winning.

If he were to be defeated by the King of Light, he would at best be expelled from the Northern Region, and at worst, he might perish.

Xiao Tianzhan was always worried that it was the Dao Domain Emperor, fearing that the Dao Domain Emperor might one day reclaim the Northern Domain.

To his utter surprise, the one who reclaimed the Northern Region was not the Dao Domain Emperor, but the Bright King of the Dark Temple.

Xiao Tianzhan was the first to feel powerless, realizing that his talent wasn't the strongest.

After the two chased and fled, the others also disappeared.

They were just there to watch the battle, so they naturally had to leave once those two ran away.

The onlookers were also worried that Xiao Tianzhan would come back and settle scores with them.

After all, Xiao Tianzhan looked quite disheveled in front of the Bright King.

If they watch, it could very well infuriate Xiao Tianzhan.

Chen Xuan, fearing he might offend Xiao Tianzhan, quickly rushed towards the caravan.

He will be staying in the Central Region for a while, and whatever happens in the Northern Region is none of his concern and unlikely to have any impact on him.

"It seems I underestimated the strength of my Dao Ancient Body before. This Xiao Tianzhan almost couldn't even defeat the Bright Heaven King, let alone my Dao Ancient Body."

Han Feng's ethereal body dissipated as soon as the two left.

Not long after Han Feng's ethereal body disappeared, another person returned.

This person was none other than Xiao Tianzhan; the King of Light was too fast.

"Just now I felt a familiar aura here, like that kid from Vast Starry Sky. If I hadn't failed to deal with the King of Light, I would have definitely taken care of that kid."

Xiao Tianzhan didn't stay in one place for long before heading towards the Tianyuan Tribe.

The Bright Heaven King was released by Zhang Wendao, and he wants to find Zhang Wendao to resolve this matter.

Xiao Tianzhan cursed, "Of all the people Zhang Wendao could have released, he had to release this Bright Heaven King. Doesn't he know that this person is the most powerful of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Han Feng, who was on the Dao boat, felt a sense of relief when he saw that Xiao Tianzhan had not rushed into the fog sea.

He just liked to watch the excitement from the sidelines and never expected that Xiao Tianzhan would notice.

Han Feng wasn't particularly surprised; he had died several times in the life simulation.

He encountered Xiao Tianzhan and was killed by him.

Xiao Tianzhan's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Heavenly One Realm, which is inferior to that of a supreme powerhouse like the Dark Emperor.

However, his strength should not be underestimated, especially in terms of perception.

Han Feng has already left the Northern Region, so there's no need to worry about Xiao Tianzhan and the Tianyuan Tribe anymore.
