Xiao Fan also suffered considerable discomfort from that blow.
After all, although his Soul Clone could fight, facing a Half-Saint while his original body had yet to break through to Dou Sheng naturally brought all manner of discomfort.
Given how condensed the Dou Qi in Xiao Fan's body had become, along with his accumulated reserves of energy, he could have broken through right then!
The quality of his Dou Qi had long since far surpassed that of an ordinary nine revolutions Dou Zun.
But since he had discovered that he could go further and build an even firmer foundation, Xiao Fan naturally refused to break through just yet. That was why he had kept condensing his Dou Qi. Now, his strength as a seven-turn Dou Zun was already terrifying.
His ability to battle the Third Heavenly Venerate made that plain.
Still, without advancing beyond Dou Zun, his strength would naturally remain restricted. But his current goal was not to kill the Third Heavenly Venerate anyway. He was only a Half-Saint, after all; even if the Hall of Souls lost him, it could afford the loss.
Xiao Fan had many reasons for bringing about this battle.
"Brat, you're truly irritating!"
The Third Heavenly Venerate raised his gaze to Xiao Fan's Soul Clone in midair and spoke coldly.
Had this been an ordinary Dou Zun, the Third Heavenly Venerate could naturally have erased such paltry soul power without lifting a finger.
But this brat was merely a seven-turn Dou Zun, yet his soul power had already entered the Heaven Realm. That was what left the Third Heavenly Venerate at a loss.
Even the Third Heavenly Venerate himself had to act against the power of a Heavenly Realm Soul. And killing Xiao Fan under such terrifying soul pressure... would be no easy task.
