At this moment, Lie Tian broke free from the power of Zhan Tian, his body almost shedding a layer of skin. The Devouring Flame had almost taken half his life just now.
He was, after all, a Saint Venerable powerhouse! He never expected Yun Fan to have evolved to such a degree that he could counter the Immortal Dao Curse.
He finally understood that Yun Fan's potential threat was far more terrifying than he had ever imagined.
As things stood, Yun Fan had to be eliminated. This wasn't just a threat to his rule, but to his very life.
If Yun Fan were not to die, and were to grow to the same realm as him, he would likely have no means to resist in Yun Fan's presence.
There was no other way; reality was this cruel.
"Kid, I will kill you!"
Lie Tian, controlled by the Demon Emperor, intended to completely end Yun Fan's life. But at this moment, Chi Cheng stood in his path.
"Whether you are Lie Tian or not, if you intend to deal with my husband, you must ask me first if I agree!"
Chi Cheng said coldly.
"A defeated opponent is not worth mentioning!"
Lie Tian said dismissively, then moved directly towards Chi Cheng.
He intended to instantly kill Chi Cheng, this stumbling block.
Who could have imagined that before he could react, Chi Cheng had already broken his Immortal Dao Curse with a single move and unleashed the Zhan Tian power Yun Fan had given her?
Boom!
As this power of Zhan Tian pierced down from the heavens, Lie Tian was cut in half by Chi Cheng before he could even react.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Lie Tian let out a scream. Even he hadn't expected Chi Cheng to have mastered the power of Zhan Tian.
"How is this possible?"
He looked at Chi Cheng in disbelief.
If Chi Cheng had possessed this power earlier, she wouldn't have had to wait until now; she would have defeated him long ago. Undoubtedly, this turn of events caught even him by surprise.
Chi Cheng calmly said, "It's because I didn't heed my husband's advice earlier and went into a qi deviation, allowing you to take advantage and injure me! Now, I am invincible, and you are no match for me!"
"I don't believe it!"
Lie Tian roared, "If I could defeat you once, I can defeat you a second time!"
In an instant, he enveloped himself in the Immortal Dao Curse, attempting to obliterate Chi Cheng.
But Chi Cheng also augmented herself with the power of Zhan Tian.
At this moment, the two were locked in a desperate battle in the sky, like two scorching suns, searing the earth.
"Husband, can Master win?"
The two women asked Yun Fan with concern.
Yun Fan replied, "She probably can!"
After all, a battle between Saint Venerables was like a clash between gods. A slight misstep could lead to irreversible consequences and total defeat.
Therefore, even Yun Fan dared not give a guarantee. Who could make such a decision?
At this moment, the powers of both sides were on the verge of eruption. Their battle almost covered an area the size of a universe.
If they were fighting in the universe now, the entire universe would be annihilated in the blink of an eye.
This was a phenomenon that caused despair.
During the battle, Lie Tian discovered that his trait of growing stronger with each fight was completely useless against Chi Cheng.
Because Chi Cheng had entered a new level.
She had overcome the tribulation of the mortal world and successfully passed the tribulation of qi deviation. Now, with the augmentation of Zhan Tian's power,
It had completely elevated Chi Cheng, this seemingly eighteen-year-old peerless beauty, to a new height.
Even with the Demon Emperor's augmentation, Lie Tian was useless.
Seeing his puppet gradually heading towards annihilation, the Demon Emperor instantly flew into a rage, his fury mixed with endless despair.
Why?
He was an existence who had lived since the Primordial Immortal Realm and had now communicated with his master, awaiting a glorious dawn.
How could he have predicted that he would be outmaneuvered by a mere brat? Even if this brat had the means to counter the Immortal Dao Curse,
Fundamentally, this brat was just an ant. He had never imagined that one day he would be defeated by an ant he could so easily crush.
For him, despair was inevitable.
His confidence in his invincibility was shattered by this despair.
"Die!"
As Chi Cheng's peerless strike fell, it completely disintegrated Lie Tian's body. As a mere puppet, Lie Tian had no chance of revival without the Demon Emperor's augmentation.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor's soul fragment was fleeing.
That's right, with no chance of victory, he scooped up Lie Tian's broken body and fled.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Chi Cheng, who had intended to pursue, now realized that due to her immense exhaustion, the power Yun Fan had given her was depleted.
Without the augmentation of Zhan Tian's power, she dared not make a move carelessly.
After all, if she were to fall victim to the Immortal Dao Curse, it would be extremely dangerous for her.
At this moment, she arrived beside Yun Fan.
"Master!"
The two women respectfully saluted. All their difficulties had been overcome by their Master, and from now on, Master would usher in her peak.
Chi Cheng said with feigned annoyance, "You're still calling me Master!"
"Sister!"
Despite feeling unaccustomed, the two women changed their address to Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng said, "You two disobedient disciples have elevated your status by a generation! How could I have such disobedient disciples?"
Undoubtedly, if Chi Cheng hadn't successfully passed her tribulation, she might have personally beaten the two disciples to death.
At this moment, the two women looked shy. Of course, they wouldn't admit fault; after all, it was their Master who had been unkind first. They were merely sharing the fruits of victory with their Master.
At this time, Yun Fan remained silent, knowing that silence was the best course of action.
Only when the three had sorted out their relationships would it be Yun Fan's turn to speak.
"I never thought the Immortal Dao Curse would truly descend!"
Chi Cheng felt extremely uneasy. The descent of the Immortal Dao Curse was a terrifying omen.
To put it this way, even the Primordial Immortal Realm couldn't withstand the Immortal Dao Curse and was completely annihilated by it. This novel website.
Now, the mere Great Thousand World was a joke in the face of the Immortal Dao Curse.
Yun Fan said, "Don't worry too much. I can suppress the Immortal Dao Curse now, and in the future, I will be able to completely destroy it!"
This was Yun Fan's confidence.
Although the Immortal Dao Curse was invincible, he had been born with the more terrifying Zhan Tian bloodline than the Immortal Dao Curse.
No, it should be an enhanced version of the Zhan Tian bloodline. The most primitive Zhan Tian bloodline could not contend with the Immortal Dao Curse.
"I know, my treasure!"
Chi Cheng said to Yun Fan, "As long as you are here, even though the Great Thousand World is very weak now, we have the capital to resist, and we are even more proactive than the Primordial Immortal Realm!"
Indeed, despite Yun Fan's ordinary strength, his greatness lay in his ability to counter it.
As long as they could counter it, they would have the initiative and could even usher in a glorious chapter.
This was Yun Fan's terrifying aspect, but the more so, the less they could afford to be careless. Undoubtedly, Yun Fan was the first target the Demon Emperor wanted to eliminate.
Because as long as Yun Fan existed, the Demon Emperor could never complete his plan.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Even the Ba Tian Clan has fallen. If it weren't for our good luck this time, even the Immortal Clan would have been destroyed in it!"
Indeed, the women were still in shock. The most ancient Immortal Clan had almost become history.
One could imagine how serious this matter was.
"Will his next target be the Sky City?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan said, "According to the Demon Emperor's intentions, he likely has such a plan. However, he has just suffered heavy damage. Even if it's just a soul fragment, it will likely require time to recover. During this period, we can persuade the Sky City!"
It wasn't that Yun Fan felt pity for Sky City, but rather that he didn't want to make another enemy.
Because once Sky City was infected by the Demon Emperor's Immortal Dao Curse, it would become another troublesome entity. This was also something Yun Fan was considering.
Chi Cheng said, "In that case, I will go with you. No matter what, we cannot let Sky City follow the same path as the Ba Tian Clan!"
"Mm!"
Yun Fan nodded.
"Master, what about us?"
Chun Xian and Shui Xian asked. In truth, they didn't want to leave Yun Fan.
"Doesn't the Immortal Clan need guarding?"
Chi Cheng said irritably, "You two stay and guard the Immortal Clan. We'll talk when I get back!"
Although the two women were reluctant, at this moment, they could only compromise with Chi Cheng, as the Immortal Clan indeed needed their protection.
On their way, Yun Fan asked Chi Cheng, "Wife, how many Saint Venerable powerhouses are there in your Immortal Clan?"
This was the matter Yun Fan was most concerned about.
The Demon Emperor's influence was growing. Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan wanted to know how many Saint Venerables there were in total among the three major factions.
This would allow him to devise a targeted strategy.
Chi Cheng replied, "There is only me!"
"What?"
This point was beyond Yun Fan's expectations. In his estimation, each of the three major factions should have at least two Saint Venerables.
He never expected there to be only one.
Chi Cheng explained, "Sky City has one, and Ba Tian Clan also has only one. At the level of our three major factions, the top experts are roughly equal. The competition is in the middle-tier strength!"
"I understand!"
Yun Fan nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Chi Cheng said, "Husband, the descent of the Immortal Dao Curse this time is just the beginning!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was instantly shaken. Seeing Chi Cheng's solemn expression, Yun Fan realized that things might be more brutal than he imagined.
Would the Immortal Dao Curse end after the Demon Emperor was dealt with? Yun Fan thought it unlikely.
After all, the Immortal Dao Curse was the ultimate enemy of all cultivators; it wouldn't be that simple.
Chi Cheng then said, "During the era of the Primordial Immortal Realm, the ten thousand races fell. Although our clan deduced the severity of the disaster and retreated in advance, thus escaping the tribulation, the ten thousand races fell. The Immortal Dao Curse they will face next may be even stronger!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan realized the gravity of the situation. This was indeed an unprecedented challenging path!
At this moment, Chi Cheng said to Yun Fan, "With your characteristics, if you one day reach the power of your ancestor, you might be able to rewrite history!"
"How strong was my ancestor?"
Yun Fan knew that his ancestor was a formidable figure. Just by the fact that his ancestor, single-handedly, had propelled the entire Zhan Tian Clan to become the number one race in the Primordial Immortal Realm, it was evident how extraordinary an existence his ancestor was.
"Saint Monarch!"
Chi Cheng explained to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan was instantly awestruck. However, this was also normal. If his ancestor hadn't possessed Saint Monarch-level strength, he wouldn't have dominated the Primordial Immortal Realm.
It's worth noting that in the Primordial Immortal Realm, there was more than one Saint Monarch-level powerhouse. As for Saint Venerable powerhouses, they were comparable to the Saint Emperor powerhouses in the current Great Thousand World.
Although it seemed few, in reality, if counted precisely, there were quite a number, likely a few dozen.
At this moment, Chi Cheng added, "Of course, this was his strength before our Immortal Clan retreated. After retreating, it's hard to say; he might have surpassed Saint Monarch!"
"What realm is that?"
Yun Fan asked, confused. After all, with his current strength, he was still far from reaching such transcendent beings.
Chi Cheng replied, "I don't know, but it's certain that the source of the Immortal Dao Curse is an existence that surpasses Saint Monarch!"
"I understand!"
Yun Fan said, "If I am fortunate enough to reach that day, I will completely eradicate the Immortal Dao Curse, including its source!"
Although Yun Fan was merely a Saint Emperor, in Chi Cheng's eyes, Yun Fan's talent was absolutely no less than that of the founder of the Zhan Tian Clan.
Thinking of this founder, Chi Cheng became quite annoyed. After all, it was this great figure who had rejected the Immortal Clan's realm.
As a result, the cultivation system created by the Immortal Clan was not recognized, and for this reason, the ancestors of the Immortal Clan had once made a stern vow.
Descendants in the future were not allowed to marry into the Zhan Tian Clan, nor were they allowed to take anyone from the Zhan Tian Clan as a partner for the mortal world tribulation.
Unexpectedly, through twists of fate, they had all broken the rules, whether it was her, or her two disciples, Shui Xian and Chun Xian, they had all violated the rules set by their ancestors.
However, Chi Cheng consoled herself with the excuse that it was no longer the era of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Upon reflection, it made sense. After all, at present, Chi Cheng was the sole authority in the Immortal Clan, so it didn't matter if she broke the rules.
But in doing so, wasn't she somewhat letting down her junior sister?
After all, her junior sister had been expelled from the Immortal Clan by her.
After careful consideration, Chi Cheng felt that her own issue was not as serious as Fan Xian's.
Fan Xian did not recognize the realm passed down by the ancestors and instead cultivated the realm of the Zhan Tian Clan. She had merely slept with the strongest prodigy of the Zhan Tian Clan.
The nature of the two matters was different.
But undoubtedly, her junior sister had become a thorn in her side.
At this moment, she said to Yun Fan, "Husband, after we go to Sky City this time, I want to go see my junior sister!"
"Are you planning to forgive her?"
Yun Fan asked excitedly. One should know that both Chi Cheng and Mu Qing Xian were his wives, and internal strife was not allowed in his own household.
If the two women could make peace, it would be the best outcome. Therefore, at this moment, he was somewhat expectant.
"Mm!"
Chi Cheng said, "After this shock of qi deviation, I realized there was no need to continue punishing my junior sister. Even if she's a traitor, so what? She has also been afflicted by the Immortal Dao Curse, making her a pitiable person. I should learn to be more tolerant!"
This was Chi Cheng's intention.
Yun Fan said, "That's wonderful! But you don't need to worry. Although she has been afflicted by the Immortal Dao Curse, with me here, I can save her. Moreover, we can save her when we return this time!"
One should know that not only Mu Qing Xian had been afflicted by the Immortal Dao Curse, but Zi Xuan had also suffered the same fate. Coupled with his current ability to barely suppress the Immortal Dao Curse, saving the two women should not be a problem.
"Really?"
Chi Cheng said, "Actually, she and I have both become your wives. I would naturally be very happy if she could live."
Yun Fan replied, "It's not yet certain, but in the future, it's a hundred percent guaranteed!"
"Mm-hmm!"
As they spoke, the two arrived at Sky City. However, at this moment, both of them were dumbfounded. It wasn't for any other reason than that Sky City was already in the process of setting up a spatial array, appearing to be preparing to flee.
