When Xiao Yun claimed first place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and challenged the strongest figures in history, the storm he stirred within the Phantom Demon Tower had already spread throughout the entire Chaos Holy Land.
Heavenly Peak.
Elder Tian Yi had long since entered seclusion to attempt a breakthrough into the Heavenly Realm.
When Chu Jingxiao and Zhu Ping learned of Xiao Yun's achievements in the Phantom Demon Tower, both wore extremely grim expressions.
"I never expected that brat to be so strong. This time, when he enters the True Dragon Nest, he will likely gain a great harvest." Zhu Ping's eyes held a trace of worry. He feared that Xiao Yun would obtain some supreme treasures within the True Dragon Nest and use them to help Di Tian advance into the Heavenly Realm.
After all, over the years, he had repeatedly opposed Di Tian, relying on the fact that Di Tian did not have much lifespan left and could no longer threaten him.
But if Di Tian advanced into the Heavenly Realm, his lifespan would increase by a thousand years. He would absolutely regain his youth and return to his peak.
No, he would surpass his peak.
Di Tian was known as the number one Holy Son of the Chaos Holy Land and had long forged a Half-Step Chaos Body. Once he reached the Heavenly Realm, he might even be able to contend with Saints in the future. At the very least, he would be invincible within the Heavenly Realm.
The thought of such a possibility filled Zhu Ping with worry.
Because by then, even Tian Yi would not be able to protect him.
Moreover, given Tian Yi's personality, he might directly hand him over when the time came. After following Tian Yi for so long, Zhu Ping knew that Tian Yi was extremely selfish and self-serving.
"Hmph, let him be proud for now. He will not be proud for much longer."
Suddenly, Chu Jingxiao snorted coldly, arousing Zhu Ping's curiosity.
"Oh? Young Master, why is that?" Zhu Ping looked at Chu Jingxiao in surprise and asked.
Chu Jingxiao sneered. "My master told me that during every journey into the True Dragon Nest, the Primordial Sacred Land targets the disciples of our Chaos Holy Land. And in this generation, the Primordial Sacred Land has produced a Space-Time Body. He will definitely kill Xiao Yun within the True Dragon Nest."
Zhu Ping suddenly understood. He nodded repeatedly and said with a sinister smile, "Young Master is right. I nearly forgot about the Primordial Sacred Land. They do not want our Chaos Holy Land to produce any peerless monsters, so they will certainly exhaust every possible means to eliminate that brat Xiao Yun."
Zhu Ping immediately let out a sigh of relief.
No matter how strong Xiao Yun was, could he possibly be stronger than the Space-Time Body of the Primordial Sacred Land?
That was a Supreme Body, a powerful special physique comparable to the Chaos Body.
Therefore, during this journey into the True Dragon Nest, Xiao Yun would certainly die inside.
East Jade Peak.
This was the cave dwelling of Dong Yutang, a Heavenly Realm powerhouse.
Dong Yutang had a disciple named Li Bufan, one of the Holy Sons of the Chaos Holy Land.
Anyone who could become a Holy Son was an unparalleled genius capable of making the Chaos Bell ring six times.
Li Bufan was precisely such an unparalleled genius.
Though still young, Li Bufan had already surpassed the Divine Bridge Realm and entered the Cave Heaven Realm. His strength swept through the entire Inner Sect and was comparable to those True Disciples.
However, Li Bufan was in an extremely foul mood at the moment, because one of his followers had brought him bad news.
Xi Chunyu was going to follow Xiao Yun!
Li Bufan's gaze turned gloomy. He had pursued Xi Chunyu for so long, yet that bitch was so blind to what was good for her that she had chosen a good-for-nothing like Xiao Yun.
That was right. In Li Bufan's eyes, Xiao Yun was a good-for-nothing.
After all, everyone knew how difficult the Chaos Scripture was to cultivate.
Back then, Di Tian had been so dazzling and brilliant, yet because he cultivated the Chaos Scripture, he had been trapped in the Transcendent Realm. One by one, those he had once defeated had surpassed him, turning him into a good-for-nothing.
Li Bufan believed that Xiao Yun would become a good-for-nothing just like Di Tian.
As for Li Bufan himself, he was destined to become a Heavenly Realm powerhouse and might even step into the realm of Saints.
"Bitch, since you are so blind to what is good for you, do not blame me for being ruthless."
"Xiao Yun? Hmph, if you had not given up your position as Divine Son, I would still fear you somewhat. But now that you are no longer the Divine Son, you are no different from an ant in my eyes."
"No one can take away a woman I, Li Bufan, have set my eyes on!"
Li Bufan's eyes were gloomy. After sneering a few times, he rose to his feet, stepped through the air, and flew toward the mountain where the Phantom Demon Tower stood.
Inside the Phantom Demon Tower.
Xiao Yun sat on the ground, breathing heavily and drenched in sweat as he circulated the Chaos Scripture to recover the strength he had just expended.
Fortunately, the Chaos Scripture was extraordinarily terrifying. In only a short while, Xiao Yun's strength had returned to its peak.
"Will you continue challenging?" Phantom Demon's voice sounded.
Xiao Yun's mouth twitched, and he quickly waved his hand. "Forget it. I had to use all the strength of nine oxen and two tigers just to defeat the tenth-ranked one. That is already my limit."
Indeed, defeating the tenth-ranked strongest figure in history of the Body Refining Realm had already been Xiao Yun's limit.
That person possessed a second-rank divine body and cultivated one Ultimate Combat Technique and one Super Combat Technique. His strength had reached 750,000 jin, 50,000 jin more than Xiao Yun, the same as Xi Chunyu.
Yet that person's strength far surpassed Xi Chunyu's. With 750,000 jin of force combined with his second-rank divine body, he was practically like a god descending into the world, his might invincible.
If Xiao Yun had not cultivated seven Ultimate Combat Techniques, he likely could not have won at all.
Moreover, even though Xiao Yun won, he had expended a tremendous amount of energy. This battle had been far more difficult than his fight with Xi Chunyu.
However, this battle had also brought Xiao Yun enormous gains and allowed him to truly witness the terrifying power of a second-rank divine body.
"If a mere second-rank divine body is already this powerful, then just how terrifying must the Space-Time Body of the Primordial Sacred Land be?"
Xiao Yun's heart was filled with gravity. He no longer dared to be the slightest bit careless.
Clearly, he still had to work harder. Otherwise, he would have no way of contending with those Supreme Bodies.
However, once he forged his Chaos Body, he would be invincible beneath the heavens and would no longer need to fear those Supreme Bodies.
At the thought of the Chaos Body, Xiao Yun immediately checked his system and was delighted to discover that his number of enlightenment opportunities had risen to 141.
"Hahaha, with so many enlightenment opportunities, once I return from the True Dragon Nest, I can immediately forge my Chaos Body." Xiao Yun was instantly ecstatic.
If not for his trip to the True Dragon Nest, he would probably have begun cultivating the Chaos Scripture in seclusion right away.
However, in order to reach the Founder's level, Xiao Yun felt that he should forge the strongest foundation while still in the Body Refining Realm.
That was to raise his strength to one million jin, matching the Founder.
Only then could he, like the Founder, become the strongest Chaos Body.
Otherwise, the Chaos Body would be no different from other Supreme Bodies, and that was not what Xiao Yun wanted to see.
Xiao Yun's ambitions were immense. Since he possessed a Chaos Body, he intended to reach the very strongest level.
To stand shoulder to shoulder with the Founder, or even surpass the Founder—only then could he sweep through the myriad heavens and worlds in the future, dominate the nine heavens and ten lands, and become invincible beneath the heavens.
"Time to leave!"
After indulging in his fantasies for a moment, Xiao Yun left the Phantom Demon Tower.
By then, a vast sea of people had already gathered outside the Phantom Demon Tower, and everyone was staring toward it.
When Xiao Yun emerged from the Phantom Demon Tower, he immediately drew everyone's attention. Countless excited gazes turned toward him.
Xiao Yun frowned slightly. Being watched by so many people made him feel somewhat awkward.
However, when Xiao Yun saw a young woman in a purple dress standing at the front of the crowd, a flash of amazement passed through his eyes.
"It is Xi Chunyu!"
Xiao Yun had seen Xi Chunyu's phantom clone inside the Phantom Demon Tower, so he recognized her.
But now that he saw Xi Chunyu's true body, Xiao Yun discovered that she was far more beautiful than her phantom clone.
Her peerless face made even the scenery of the mountain pale in comparison. A gentle breeze blew, causing her purple dress to flutter and outlining the exquisite curves of her graceful body. She was like a fairy descending from the Moon Palace, gathering all the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth into herself.
"Hmph!" Seeing Xiao Yun stare at Xi Chunyu, Lin Xiaoya pouted in dissatisfaction and snorted coldly.
Uncle Fu watched Xiao Yun with a smiling expression, his heart filled with emotion. Tenth place among the strongest figures in history—that was truly a name destined to be recorded in the annals of history!
"Senior Brother Xiao!"
At that moment, Xi Chunyu stepped forward with lotus-like steps. Her enchanting body swayed, her black hair danced lightly, and she looked like an exiled immortal descending into the mortal world.
"I once swore that whoever could defeat my phantom clone, I would follow him. Now that Senior Brother Xiao has defeated my phantom clone, would Senior Brother Xiao be willing to accept me as his follower?" Xi Chunyu stared at Xiao Yun, her eyes shining brightly with captivating radiance.
It had to be said that when faced with the favor of such a peerless beauty, Xiao Yun could not think of any reason to refuse her.
If he dared refuse, countless readers would probably beat his Chaos Body to pieces.
Thus, Xiao Yun honestly smiled and said, "Thank you for your favor, Junior Sister Xi. From now on, we can encourage one another and seek proof of the Great Dao together."
Xi Chunyu smiled sweetly at his words, feeling slightly relieved. She had also worried that Xiao Yun might reject her. That would have been far too embarrassing.
"Xi Chunyu, I will not allow you to follow a good-for-nothing!"
At that moment, a furious roar came from beyond the sky, exploding across the entire mountain and making the surrounding trees tremble.
The next moment, a crimson figure strode through the air. Carrying an immense aura, he descended upon the mountain, causing everyone present to feel tremendous pressure.
Everyone turned to look and immediately recognized the man's identity.
It was Holy Son Li Bufan!
