With the last continent collapsing, the remaining monsters became useless.
The dark blade flashed, taking away all life from the starry sky.
Li Fan's internal energy surged, and the shackles of his Five Elements Body began to loosen.
Thump—
The beating heart beats like a cowhide war drum.
The spiritual power of the immortal stones that had been swallowed into the body began to circulate wildly.
Click—
Click—
Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, the sound of beans popping in a bamboo tube came from inside Li Fan's body.
The pitch-black true energy completely enveloped his body.
All movement was completely concealed.
......
We've made a breakthrough!
Ao Yao opened his eyes, a faint joy rising in his heart.
But soon, the joy was interrupted by the surging energy in the distance.
Nine-Dragon Brahma has also broken through!
This energy... it's just too terrifying.
Could it be... that he is advancing to the Ninth Heaven of Yaochi?
This commotion is probably comparable to when my elder brother advanced to the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm.
Although it's a little weaker, it's not that much weaker.
Now we can only hope that his strength won't continue to increase, otherwise if he really becomes as powerful as his elder brother was back then, the monsters of the entire Ascension Battlefield might not be able to stop him.
Back then, my elder brother broke through to the Golden Immortal realm by stepping on the heads of all the monstrous talents in the Azure Sky Domain!
Even though he is no longer in the Azure Sky Domain, his legend lives on there.
The title "Jade-Faced Little Black Dragon" was never meant to be a mockery.
......
Is it... over?
Ao Yao stared wide-eyed at the dispersing black mist in the distance.
Behind the Nine-Dragon Brahma, a scene appeared.
That... is the legendary Jade Pool.
To be more precise, the Yaochi realm was created simply because the top experts who established this realm lived there.
The path to breakthrough for younger martial artists is more like an echo of the traces left by those powerful figures.
Layers of patterns appear on the surface of Yaochi.
Each additional layer represents a higher level of attainment.
The nine layers of patterns on the Jade Pool represent the nine heavens of the Jade Pool.
Wait... why is this happening!
Eight layers of texture? How is that possible?
When Ao Yao saw the blank space above Yaochi, his mind was shaken.
By the time he wanted to count them all, Yaochi had already disappeared.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible.
The eighth heaven of Yaochi could not possibly have such terrifying energy!
"Brahma, what is your current cultivation level?"
Ao Yao, unwilling to give up, asked a question.
"The Eighth Heaven of Jade Pool!"
Upon hearing his reply, Ao Yao felt as if struck by lightning.
It’s over!
It's all over.
That's truly the Jade Pool Eight Heavens.
Once he breaks through the ninth level of the Jade Pool Heaven, won't he be able to rival his elder brother?
When that day comes, who on the entire battlefield of ascending to heaven can stop him?
If he can dominate the world, then I'm doomed.
"Brahma, promise me, you must break through to the Heavenly Palace before me, okay?"
"If that's not enough, shall I add some more?"
Ao Yao wanted to grit his teeth and overdraw some more of his future resources.
If all else fails, how about borrowing some from your older brother?
Now that he's a Golden Immortal, he must be living a very wealthy life!
......
In the chaotic ancient realm, at Black Wind Ridge, roars shook the heavens and reverberated across the earth.
"Ao Mie, can you please not come here anymore!"
I'm a bandit, not some hen that lays eggs for you.
The speaker had a leopard-like head and piercing eyes, with a full beard as sharp as steel needles.
Even among the many ruthless bandits in the Chaotic Ancient Domain, the tyrant Lin Tianba was a figure who could be ranked among the top.
But now, he looked haggard as he faced the person above him.
On his throne sat a man, a man so handsome he seemed inhuman.
But the man was lounging in his chair with his legs crossed, a blade of grass in his mouth, looking rather nonchalant.
This kind of person would be a real street thug anywhere, let alone in the Chaotic Ancient Domain.
But this street thug is damn good at fighting.
Lin Tianba suffered quite a bit at his hands.
"Lin Tianba, look at your cowardly appearance."
Although I, Ao Mie, like to borrow treasures from you, I always give you a proper IOU; I don't take them for free!
Ao Mie said nonchalantly.
"You have the nerve to say that? Look at that lousy IOU of yours!"
Lin Tianba grew angrier the more he thought about it, and directly pulled out a pile of papers.
The paper was covered in yellowish stains, and not a single word could be seen.
"Don't talk nonsense. The IOUs I gave you all have written notes. Who are you trying to fool by showing a bunch of blank things?"
Ao Mie retorted confidently.
"Go to hell!"
Lin Tianba was no longer willing to tolerate it.
That bastard, he wouldn't take the opportunity to save face.
He's screwed me over so many times before, I'm going to fight him to the death.
"Damn it! Can't you control your temper?"
Ao Mie stood up from his chair, then changed the subject and said seriously, "Insider information: the Three Kings Palace has made a deal with those guys outside. The reward is an unknown amount of Chaos Spirit Crystals. I'm planning to pull off a big heist, and I've come here specifically to recruit you!"
"Brother Mie, when are we making our move?"
Lin Tianba immediately moved closer.
The Three Kings Temple alone is very attractive.
Not to mention the Chaos Crystals, which are extremely important to them.
"Prepare plenty of top-grade immortal stones; I'll use them to unleash my ultimate move!"
"Damn it, you're not kidding me, are you?!"
"I, the mighty Black Dragon Clan..."
"Alright, stop talking about your pathetic Black Dragon clan. I'm sick of hearing about it!"
This is the last time I'll trust you. If you dare to run away with the stuff, I'll disband Black Wind Ridge and fight you to the death.
In the end, Lin Tianba still emptied his family's savings.
"Disband now!"
Ao Mie continued, "After we succeed, we will definitely be hunted down by the Three Kings Palace."
"Are we prepared for our escape route?"
Lin Tianba asked.
"I'll take you home, and everything will be fine after we hide for a while."
"We, the Black Dragon clan, are not to be trifled with."
Ao Mie said confidently.
"Fine, I'll trust you one more time!"
Born in the Chaotic Ancient Domain, Lin Tianba never left the Chaotic Ancient Domain in his entire life.
Many geniuses have descended upon the Chaotic Ancient Domain, and there are quite a few dragons among them.
Of all the members of the Black Dragon Clan, he had only ever seen Ao Mie.
Although this guy didn't have a trace of dragon pride, his personality was still very much to Lin Tianba's liking.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made Ao Mie sign so many IOUs.
The title of "tyrant" is not just a figurehead.
......
"Can't!"
Li Fan refused without hesitation.
With no one to take the blame, all the criticism came at him.
"Brahma, although you are very strong, I still want to remind you that the Pantheon is not simple."
Their reinforcements might already be on their way.
If you storm into the Sirius Realm with such fanfare, it will be difficult for you to escape later.
The suppression of the world's rules, the endless stream of enemies, the ever-emerging superweapons—none of these are things you can handle!
Ao Yao wanted to try harder.
He truly dared not let Brahma continue killing like this!
Once Brahma breaks through, everything will be over.
"That's true, there's also the suppression of the world's rules!"
Li Fan muttered to himself, then looked at the dark crack not far away... and the continent that was faintly visible inside.
"Take my advice, let's lay low for a while!"
Ao Yao pressed his advantage and continued to persuade him.
"Then let it not exist!"
A flame of madness ignited in Li Fan's eyes.
"What...doesn't exist?"
Ao Yao's smile froze as he saw a figure rush out.
