The Young One Fell, So the Old One Came

Imperial Peak.

Xiao Yun was sparring with Xi Chunyu, but he had remained on the defensive the entire time, taking a brutal beating from her.

That was because Xi Chunyu had already broken through the Qi Gathering Realm and entered the Divine Bridge Realm.

"Junior Sister Xi, let's call it here!" After a while, Xiao Yun set down the Black Iron Saber and waved at Xi Chunyu before him with a bitter smile.

The Divine Bridge Realm was simply too powerful.

He had been able to defeat Xi Chunyu before, but now he was nowhere near her match.

The gap between cultivation realms was too vast; talent alone could not make up for it.

"Senior Brother Xiao, you're much stronger than before. Though you still have seven hundred thousand jin of strength, your combat power is two or three times greater than it was before." Xi Chunyu looked at Xiao Yun, her beautiful eyes shimmering with radiance. Her jade-like face was dazzlingly lovely.

After spending more than half a year with Xiao Yun, Xi Chunyu had sparred with him often and knew very well just how terrifying his talent was.

He had fully deduced seven Super Combat Techniques to the level of Ultimate Combat Techniques. Looking across the entire cultivation world, Xiao Yun was likely the only person capable of such a feat.

Even the Founder of their Chaos Holy Land had cultivated only three Ultimate Combat Techniques in the Body Refining Realm.

This was the first time Xi Chunyu had seen such a powerful Body Refining Realm cultivator. She believed that even the Divine Sons of the other five great holy lands had probably been no stronger than Xiao Yun during the Body Refining Realm.

"So what if I'm stronger? I still can't beat someone in the Divine Bridge Realm!" Xiao Yun said with a bitter smile.

After entering the Divine Bridge Realm, Xi Chunyu had condensed spiritual power and could control flying swords, killing enemies from a thousand miles away. Her combat strength had increased severalfold.

Before Xi Chunyu's flying sword attacks, Xiao Yun was no match for her at all.

Of course, even without using flying swords, Xiao Yun would still not be Xi Chunyu's match.

That was because Divine Bridge Realm cultivators could cultivate divine abilities after condensing spiritual power.

Those divine abilities were incredibly powerful, far surpassing Ultimate Combat Techniques.

In Xiao Yun's view, if Ultimate Combat Techniques were the limit of mortals, then "divine abilities" were like the spells of immortals. They had already transcended the limits of the mundane world. Every divine ability possessed the might to overturn mountains and seas, making them utterly terrifying.

However, Xiao Yun did not care much about it. He was still only in the Body Refining Realm. Once he entered the Divine Bridge Realm, he would surely be far stronger than Xi Chunyu.

After all, Xiao Yun's foundation was simply too deep and solid. He possessed a supreme foundation.

"Who is Xiao Yun?"

"Get out here this instant!"

At that moment, a furious shout suddenly rang out from the horizon like thunder exploding, shaking the void and causing the entire Imperial Peak to tremble.

Xiao Yun and the others looked up to see Li Bufan approaching through the air alongside a white-haired old man.

This old man was terrifying. Scarlet blood energy surged around him like an Undying Phoenix reborn from nirvana. Even his pupils were golden, and his eyes shone like two golden lamps, frightening beyond measure.

When the old man's gaze swept over Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun felt his entire body turn cold, as though he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Not a trace of resistance could rise in his heart.

Too powerful. This was definitely some ancient monster.

Xiao Yun looked at Li Bufan beside the old man and had more or less guessed the old man's identity.

Sure enough, Uncle Fu sent him a voice transmission. "Young Master, this is Li Bufan's master, Dong Yutang, a Heavenly Realm powerhouse."

Xiao Yun was shaken. This was a true powerhouse. With Saints absent from the world, Heavenly Realm powerhouses stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

Even the Holy Lord of their Chaos Holy Land was merely in the Heavenly Realm.

His own master was only in the Transcendent Realm beneath the Heavenly Realm.

Facing such a terrifying expert, Xiao Yun felt incredibly insignificant.

Even if I borrow the Chaos Bell's power, I still can't contend with him right now, Xiao Yun thought.

His cultivation was still too weak. The amount of power he could borrow from the Chaos Bell was extremely limited. There was no way he could rely on that little power to defeat a Heavenly Realm powerhouse like Dong Yutang.

Fortunately, this is Imperial Peak! Xiao Yun immediately felt immensely relieved. Had he encountered them outside, he would likely have been in serious trouble.

After all, seeing Li Bufan glaring at him from nearby with a face full of resentment, Xiao Yun knew that the two had definitely come to seek revenge on him.

Just as expected: beat the young one, and the old one came.

The ancients truly had not deceived him!

"Are you Xiao Yun?"

At the same time, Dong Yutang's gaze had already locked onto Xiao Yun. Under the sweep of his divine sense, Xiao Yun was the only young man on the entire Imperial Peak, so his identity was obvious.

Since he was on Imperial Peak and Di Tian was here, Xiao Yun was not afraid of Dong Yutang. He said calmly, "That's right, I am Xiao Yun. May I ask what guidance you have for me, Senior?"

Dong Yutang snorted coldly. "Insolent! You know that I am your senior, yet you do not immediately pay your respects. You have no manners at all. No wonder you dared to challenge those above you and humiliate the Holy Son of our Chaos Holy Land. You truly are lawless."

Xiao Yun ignored Dong Yutang and instead looked coldly at Li Bufan, his face full of mockery. "When I was little, I fought with the child next door. When he couldn't beat me, he ran home crying to find his parents. I never thought that after growing up, I'd still encounter something like this. Li Bufan, you truly are worthy of being the Holy Son of our Chaos Holy Land."

Li Bufan's old face reddened, but he immediately glared furiously at Xiao Yun and roared, "Xiao Yun, if you hadn't shamelessly borrowed the Chaos Bell's power, I could crush you to death with one finger."

"Then have the guts to wait until I reach the Cave Heaven Realm before fighting me again!" Xiao Yun mocked.

Li Bufan flew into a rage from embarrassment. "By the time you reach the Cave Heaven Realm, I'll already have entered the Spirit Sacrifice Realm. Are you expecting me to wait for you?"

Xiao Yun said proudly, "Even in the Cave Heaven Realm, I can still defeat you across realms."

"What arrogant nonsense!" Li Bufan snorted. He did not believe Xiao Yun's wild words at all.

Dong Yutang waved a hand beside him. Looking at Xiao Yun with an indifferent expression, he said, "Where in the cultivation world is there such a thing as a fair battle within the same realm? Since you challenged those above you and offended the Holy Son of our Chaos Holy Land, today I shall properly discipline you in Di Tian's place, so you may understand that those above are to be revered and cannot be offended."

"Dong Yutang, since when has my disciple, Di Tian's disciple, needed your discipline? Do you take my Imperial Peak for a place with no one left?"

In the distance, Di Tian slowly walked over. Though he appeared to move slowly, he used Inch-by-Inch Earth and arrived beside Xiao Yun in the blink of an eye, glaring coldly at Dong Yutang and his disciple.

When Xiao Yun saw his nominal master arrive, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Let the old fellows deal with the old fellows. That was what counted as fair.

As for this young one, he would deal with the other young one himself.

Xiao Yun could not help but look at Li Bufan with a cold smile. Since this fellow had delivered himself to his door, he would let him lie in bed for another half year.

Li Bufan seemed to sense Xiao Yun's gaze and shuddered, hastily retreating.

He did not want to be struck by the Chaos Bell again.

Dong Yutang glared at Li Bufan in dissatisfaction. His own disciple had actually been frightened by a mere Body Refining Realm cultivator. What a useless coward.

However, Dong Yutang had no time to concern himself with Xiao Yun now. His gaze had long been fixed on Di Tian as he said coldly, "Di Tian, it is good that you came out. Back then, I only narrowly lost to you. Today, I shall once again experience your brilliant techniques."

Di Tian mocked, "Narrowly lost? You really know how to gild your own face. Back then, I beat you so miserably you looked like a dog. You were simply my defeated opponent."

Dong Yutang flew into a furious rage. He soared into the sky and shouted angrily down at Di Tian, "Di Tian, enough nonsense! Get up here at once! Today, I will wash away my past humiliation."

"Since you seek humiliation for yourself, I'll grant your wish!" Di Tian sneered and rose into the air like a sharp arrow, shooting straight toward the heavens.

Battles between experts of their level could only take place high in the sky. Otherwise, they would likely destroy dozens of surrounding mountain peaks.
