Rumble!
The four Peak Quasi-Saint puppets collapsed with a crash, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.
A deathly silence fell over the area in front of the main hall of inheritance.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the white-clad figure in disbelief.
The figure stood in the center of the arena like an immortal, dressed in white, pure and untouched by the world, as if the sword strike just now was merely a casual wave of his sleeve.
Holy crap! Who is that? So powerful!
"One sword strike instantly killed four Peak Quasi-Saint puppets?"
"I thought Ye Chen was strong enough, but I didn't expect there to be someone even more ruthless!"
"Who the hell is so powerful? A puppet at the Peak Quasi-Saint is like paper in front of him? Could it be Sage himself?"
The holy sons and daughters gasped in astonishment, their eyes filled with shock and awe.
When the figure turned around, revealing that incomparably handsome face, the entire audience erupted in cheers once again.
"It's the Lin Clan son!"
"I knew it! Besides the Emperor's son, who else has this strength?"
"Only the Emperor's son could slay four puppets with a single sword strike!"
"After all, he's a ruthless person capable of tearing apart the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body with his bare hands; killing a few puppets is just a piece of cake for him."
Everyone gasped, their eyes filled with even greater awe as they looked at Lin Fan.
Not long ago, they witnessed this person tearing apart the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body, roasting the wings of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and then closing in on the trap while eating.
Now they've come to vie for the Empress's throne.
It's simply...
They're leaving no way for others to survive!
Ye Chen and Nangong Tianyi exchanged a glance, their expressions turning extremely grim.
They fought with all their might, using every ounce of strength they had, barely managing to hold out against the four puppets for so long, and almost perished here.
But what was the result?
He finished her off with a single sword strike right from the start!
Ye Chen clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, a strong sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
This gap...
It's too big!
He saw Nangong Yu'er arrive with Lin Fan, gritted his teeth, and wanted to explain something to Nangong Yu'er: " Yu'er, I..."
"Stop!"
Nangong Yu'er didn't even glance at him, directly raising her hand to interrupt, " Ye Chen, I have nothing to say to you."
"Back in the sect, you approached me first, boasting about your strength, which is why I agreed to cooperate with you."
"So you couldn't even defeat the four great puppets, and the Emperor's son had to intervene personally!"
"I've seen it. My decision to not use you and instead invite the Imperial Prince was truly the best decision I've ever made in my life!"
Her words were cold and distant, as if Ye Chen were just a complete stranger.
Ye Chen felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and his face turned deathly pale. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word!
[Ding! The host has caused the chosen one of destiny, Ye Chen, to lose face in front of everyone, gaining 30,000 Villain Points!]
[Ding! Ye Chen's Fortune Points has been slightly damaged due to the host's hatred, but he has gained 20,000 Villain Points!]
Another windfall!
Lin Fan was in a good mood. Seeing Ye Chen's dejected appearance, he turned to Nangong Yu'er and casually asked, "What? You know him?"
They didn't take Ye Chen seriously at all.
Nangong Yu'er waved her hand dismissively. "I've only met him a few times, he's just an insignificant person."
"He said he wanted to be my foreign aid, but he wasn't good enough, so I didn't take him."
"Who knew he'd also entered the secret realm, and even wanted to steal the inheritance?"
His tone was so casual, as if he were talking about something trivial, that I really felt I had misjudged him.
Insignificant person!
Those four words, like a sharp blade, pierced Ye Chen's heart.
His face was deathly pale, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Fan.
On what grounds?
What right did he have to get all of this?
Why is he the one standing next to Yu'er?
Why should he steal the Empress's throne too?
So what if he's a prince? Is that all that matters? He's just a pampered child, a hothouse flower!
Ye Chen, relying on the bloodline of a collateral branch of the Ye Clan, also arrived here in a short time...
Give him time, and he's confident he'll surpass Lin Fan!
Rumble!
But just then, a series of loud explosions shattered the silence.
The four puppets that Lin Fan had shattered with a single sword strike actually stood up again.
Although their bodies were damaged, the array patterns inside them were rapidly repairing themselves, and the damaged areas were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Roar!"
The four puppets let out a deafening roar, their killing intent palpable, and locked onto Lin Fan, charging forward once more.
"Oh? It can be resurrected?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. "The puppet left behind by Empress Purple Moon is indeed somewhat capable, but it's just a low-level trick!"
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Nangong Yu'er exclaimed in surprise, her face turning slightly pale.
Although Lin Fan shattered these four puppets with a single sword strike, their auras were now even stronger than before after they were resurrected.
Was that just the beginning?
Lin Fan remained calm and said indifferently, "It's alright. If I can kill it once, I can kill it a second time."
"Buzz!"
He slowly closed his eyes, his body surging with Chaos Qi, and a black and white Gods and Devils mark appeared between his brows, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
" The Devil God's Wrath!"
He let out a low shout, and his aura suddenly surged!
A tenfold increase!
Not wanting to waste time, Lin Fan wanted to finish the battle quickly!
He was surrounded by Gods and Devils power, and Chaos Qi swept outwards like a vast ocean, as if an ancient demon god had awakened from his slumber.
"Sing!"
He clenched his right hand, and an ancient imperial sword appeared in his hand, its sword light flickering and its sharp Sword Qi tearing through the void.
He no longer used Sword Intent to crush his opponent, but instead chose to engage in close-quarters combat!
cut!
He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already in front of a puppet!
The imperial sword, carrying immense power, crashed down!
clang!
The puppet raised its arm to block, but how terrifying was Lin Fan's physical strength? With a single blow, the puppet's arm shattered on the spot!
"Roar!"
The puppet let out a defiant roar!
Before Lin Fan could catch his breath, a gust of wind rushed past his ears as the puppet raised its fist to strike his face.
Lin Fan unleashed a punch!
Hunyuan Fist!
Five times the critical hit rate!
boom!
The puppet's chest was punched through, countless fragments of array patterns scattered everywhere, and its massive body crashed to the ground!
Without pausing, he turned and struck again with his sword, cleaving the other puppet in two at the waist!
It's not over yet!
He activated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, causing the giant elephant within his body to roar. More than five thousand particles erupted simultaneously, unleashing an unparalleled power from within!
He raised his hand and slapped down!
The Chaos Qi condensed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, crashing down and instantly reducing the fourth puppet to dust!
The fourth puppet charged forward, its sharp claws tearing through the void, aiming straight for Lin Fan's head.
Lin Fan didn't even turn his head. He pointed out with his left hand, fingers pointing out like a sword!
A sharp sword light shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the head of the fourth puppet!
Rumble!
All four puppets were reduced to scrap metal!
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence once again. Everyone stared at that godlike and demonic figure, even their breathing became cautious!
"Too... too powerful!"
"Is this the true strength of the Lin Clan son?"
"He just used... physical strength?"
" Heavenly Dipper Realm with this kind of physical body? Is this even human?"
As expected of a forbidden divine body, his combat power is probably comparable to that of a true Sage, right?
Lin Fan sheathed his sword, looked at the still-stunned saintesses, and gave them a gentle smile. No one dared to meet his gaze; they all lowered their heads.
" The Empress Purple Moon's legacy returns to the rightful heir!"
"Does anyone have a problem with this...?"
The saintesses glanced at the puppet on the ground, not wanting to follow in their footsteps, and waved their hands repeatedly, their faces flushed as they backed away to both sides.
"I wouldn't dare!"
"Your Highness, please!"
Even some of the most arrogant holy sons lowered their heads, not daring to meet Lin Fan's gaze.
A system notification sounded: [Ding! The host has affected Ye Chen's Dao Heart, becoming his Heart Demon. Fortune Points slightly damaged. 80,000 Villain Points gained!]
Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and deliberately reached out to hold Nangong Yu'er's delicate hand.
Nangong Yu'er's delicate body trembled, but she did not resist! A blush rose on her pretty face...
Before leaving, Lin Fan glanced at Ye Chen, a slight smile playing on his lips, and strode into the Inheritance Hall.
"Clatter!"
Looking at the four puppets that were instantly crushed, and then at Lin Fan's calm and composed demeanor, Ye Chen felt a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.
"I was actually scared by him!"
"If I were to refine the stars in my mind, my Star Body would certainly be no weaker than his!"
Ye Chen truly Son of Fortune. He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mindset!
He crushed a jade pendant in his hand!
This was a jade pendant given to him by Nangong Yu'er, which he originally treasured...
Now that he's crushed it, it signifies that their relationship is completely severed, and there's no going back!
Ye Chen stood up and was about to walk towards the Hall of Inheritance.
Nangong Tianyi noticed something was wrong and asked, "Are you alright? Where are you going...?"
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, "It's alright. Aren't we going to seize the Empress's inheritance? Or have you given up?"
Nangong Tianyi asked, "Is it the Lin Clan prince...?"
Ye Chen said, "How can you know you're not weaker than him if we haven't truly fought yet? If we cultivators dare not fight..."
"What qualifications will I have to prove myself in the future...?"
He must confront Lin Fan directly! Otherwise... Lin Fan will become his lifelong Heart Demon, and he will have no hope of attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor in this lifetime!
Rumble!
However, the moment Ye Chen approached, the fragments of the four puppets suddenly moved again.
Although their bodies were broken and reduced to fragments, the array patterns within them were rapidly repairing themselves, with the damaged areas healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Roar!"
The four puppets let out a deafening roar, their killing intent surging, and they all locked onto Ye Chen, charging forward once again!
Ye Chen's expression changed, and his Star Body emitted boundless starlight. He raised his fist and clashed with one of the attacking puppets, the terrifying power impacting all directions!
"Huh? What happened?"
"Puppets can actually come back to life?"
Everyone was startled when they saw Ye Chen. "What is he trying to do? Is he trying to steal the Emperor's inheritance? Is this kid tired of living?"
[bite!]
[The host has influenced Ye Chen's Dao Heart, becoming his Heart Demon. His Fortune Points has been slightly damaged. He has gained 80,000 Villain Points!]
Lin Fan walked into the main hall, which was incredibly spacious, yet somewhat deserted. A system notification sounded in his ear, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
The dome hangs high, inlaid with purple luminous pearls that emit a soft glow, illuminating the entire hall.
In the very center of the main hall stands a statue of an empress, about ten zhang tall.
The statue was incredibly lifelike, with an exquisitely beautiful face. It wore a purple robe and was surrounded by a faint purple qi, making it seem as if a true empress had descended to earth.
However, Lin Fan's gaze fell on a person in front of the statue.
It was a cold and beautiful woman in a long purple dress, sitting cross-legged in front of the statue of the Empress, her eyes closed and her mind focused, as if she were trying to understand something.
In front of her was a palm-sized purple crystal, emitting a faint halo.
That person was none other than Nangong Yue!
Nangong Yu'er recognized the person and her face turned ugly. "Elder sister?"
Unexpectedly, even though she and Lin Fan arrived so quickly, they were still a step too late, as Nangong Yue had already gotten there first!
"Um?"
Nangong Yue sensed someone entering and slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw that the people who came were Lin Fan and Nangong Yu'er, her pupils contracted slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"You've come."
She stood up, looked at Lin Fan, and spoke indifferently, as if she had expected Lin Fan to come. As for Nangong Yu'er, she didn't care about her at all.
"You managed to get this far without the Lesser Demon Emperor?"
Lin Fan looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, "The number one young woman of the Nangong Emperor Clan, truly deserving of her reputation! But I promised Nangong Yu'er I would obtain the inheritance, and this is not something you should take..."
Nangong Yue did not respond.
He glanced at the empress statue behind him, his aura surging. "The legacy of the Empress Purple Moon will be obtained by the destined one."
"We each rely on our own abilities."
As she spoke, she reached out and grasped the inheritance crystal, her body radiating purple light, clearly indicating that she had been studying it for some time.
Lin Fan looked at her, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
Each according to their own abilities?
interesting.
He wouldn't easily relinquish the Empress Purple Moon's inheritance; it was crucial to his chance to obtain the Immortal Spring Source and break through to the Purple Mansion Realm...
