Su Chen nodded, as if he had expected this, "First, solidify your foundation. After some time, I will personally help you refine that Chaos Bell."
Upon hearing this, Su Jianxi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Wouldn't forcibly refining such a divine artifact cause a backlash?"
Su Chen smiled faintly, "Don't worry, with your brother here, nothing will happen."
"Mhm!" Su Jianxi nodded, taking this opportunity to see just what her brother was capable of.
Su Chen held Su Jianxi in his arms and sat by the lake, chatting for a long time. The afterglow of the setting sun, like a golden veil, gently sprinkled on the tranquil lake surface, making it shimmer and sparkle with fragmented gold light.
In Su Chen's arms, Su Jianxi's eyelids gradually grew heavy, and her head bobbed up and down like a flower swaying in the wind, until finally she leaned against Su Chen's chest and fell into a deep sleep.
Su Chen smiled slightly, picked up Su Jianxi, carefully got up, and turned to leave.
Seven years passed quietly. During these seven years, the war between the Human Domain and Devil Domain races intensified. Among them, the most eye-catching was a young man Lin Fan. He was like the most dazzling star, appearing out of nowhere, killing countless Devil Race powerhouses, making the Devil Race tremble with fear, and achieving great feats and creating many miracles.
Lin Fan stood tall and straight, his black robe fluttering in the wind. His killing intent was like a sea, filling the heavens and earth. Holding Bloodthirst Sword, he was like a god of war. His deep eyes were fixed on the figure in front of him, revealing a strong killing intent.
Opposite her was a powerful Devil Race named Leng Shuang, whose figure was curvaceous and exuded a deadly allure. Her long, ink-black hair was draped freely behind her, with the ends curling slightly, as lively as a snake's forked tongue.
Eight years ago, she was ordered by the Venerable Lord Black Flame to hunt down Lin Fan. During this time, she had countless opportunities to kill Lin Fan, but the Venerable Lord Black Flame always stopped her, which greatly annoyed her, but she had no way to stop him.
"Hmph, you old hag, it must have been so satisfying to hunt me down for so many years, huh? Today I'll let you taste what it's like to be hunted down!" Lin Fan sneered, his killing intent soaring to the heavens. His terrifying aura, like a torrent, swept across all directions, shaking the earth and sky.
Sensing Lin Fan's aura, Leng Shuang's pupils dilated, and she was shocked. "You've broken through to the Immortal Sovereign?"
"I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for your pursuit, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly. Prepare to die!" Lin Fan roared and slashed down with his sword. The terrifying sword strike seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth, and was extremely frightening.
Leng Shuang's face darkened. She hadn't expected Lin Fan to break through so quickly, reaching the Immortal Sovereign level in such a short time. She knew that it had taken her tens of thousands of years to reach the Immortal Sovereign level, while Lin Fan had only taken eight years!
The thought that Lin Fan's rapid breakthrough was due to her Leng Shuang. Without further hesitation, she raised her hand and struck down with a palm, unleashing a torrent of demonic power that shook the eight directions and engulfed heaven and earth.
Boom!
A sword and a palm clashed violently, deafeningly loud and bursting with dazzling divine light. The two figures retreated rapidly, but in the blink of an eye, they collided again, with continuous rumbling sounds and countless Sword Intent crisscrossing. Lin Fan seized the opportunity and thrust out with his sword, its Sword-Ray shining brightly, illuminating the heavens and the earth, containing endless Sword Dao power.
Leng Shuang's expression changed slightly, her eyes flashing with a cold light. She opened her right hand, and a demonic whip appeared in her hand. Without hesitation, she lashed it out, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Lin Fan continued to unleash several more sword strikes, Leng Shuang was forced to retreat step by step, becoming somewhat outmatched.
Leng Shuang was utterly shocked. She vaguely remembered that in the past few years, Lin Fan had always been suppressed by her and had no power to fight back. But now, it seemed that the situation between the two sides had been reversed!
It should be noted that Lin Fan had only just broken through to the Immortal Sovereign, while Leng Shuang was already at the Immortal Sovereign Sixth Layer. The two were several minor realms apart, but Lin Fan's strength was ridiculously powerful.
With a look of resentment on her face, Leng Shuang let out a soft shout, and her right hand's demonic whip burst forth with a dazzling black light, carrying an unparalleled momentum as it lashed fiercely towards Lin Fan.
Lin Fan frowned, not daring to be careless, and unleashed a full-force sword strike, unleashing boundless Sword Intent.
Boom!
Both attacks were incredibly powerful, creating terrifying waves and ripples that shattered space and time in all directions, creating a horrifying scene.
Leng Shuang Shuang's eyes narrowed, and she swung her demonic whip again, drawing a sharp arc in the air and creating a sound that seemed to tear through space and time. The demonic whip, like a python, precisely wrapped around the Bloodthirst Sword, and then with a sudden tug, the Bloodthirst Sword was pulled away from Lin Fan's hand.
Leng Shuang's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes flashing with intense killing intent. Then, she took a step forward, quickly closing the distance with Lin Fan. Finally, at a distance of a hundred feet, she lashed out with a whip. This whip was exceptionally terrifying, and the power it contained made the hairs on Lin Fan's body stand on end.
Lin Fan retreated rapidly, trying to dodge the whip, but the demonic whip suddenly lengthened at that moment, and its power remained undiminished. Seeing that the whip was about to strike him, Lin Fan gritted his teeth, and with a thought, a small tower appeared in front of him.
The tower was radiant with divine light and exuded an ancient aura. It was carved with exquisite patterns. Lin Fan made hand Hand Seals, and suddenly, light burst forth, and runes appeared everywhere. The small tower began to grow rapidly, eventually reaching a size of several thousand feet, and finally stood in front of Lin Fan.
Bang!
The terrifying whip lashed down on the little tower, producing a crisp, deafening sound, but it didn't cause the little tower any damage whatsoever, not even leaving a mark. The demonic whip was even deflected away.
Leng Shuang staggered back, her gaze fixed on the tower, her face grim. This tower had saved Lin Fan countless times in the past few years, and it was incredibly sturdy; no matter what methods she used, she could not destroy it.
"What kind of tower is this?" Leng Shuang asked in a deep voice.
"Want me to tell you? Then beg me!" Lin Fan put away the small tower and said with a sneer. Of course, he couldn't tell Leng Shuang that the small tower was given to him by Su Chen.
Years ago, Su Chen accidentally obtained this small tower in a secret realm. The tower's origin was mysterious, but Su Chen did not investigate it further and instead gave it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan also averted countless crises thanks to this small tower. For example, during his years in this Spacetime Battlefield, if it weren't for this tower, he would have been killed by Leng Shuang long ago.
"Old hag, let's fight again!" With a thought, Lin Fan transformed the Bloodthirst Sword that had fallen into the distance into a streak of light, instantly appearing in his hand. Then, he took a step forward and charged towards Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang's expression was furious, her teeth clenched, and her killing intent towards Lin Fan intensified. She went straight to meet him without fear, and the two clashed again, their battle booming and devastating.
Beyond the Canglan Star lies a vast, boundless, and mysterious universe, where a dazzling galaxy, like a dreamlike ribbon, meanders and spirals through the endless darkness.
At this moment, space violently fluctuated, then shattered, and from the cracks, a man slowly emerged...
