Chapter 311: Ten Years Later, a Battle with Li Xun!
"Who was it that took action against the Spirit Clan?"
The Sixth Ancestor of the Xiao Clan spoke, her voice icy and laced with killing intent. The temperature of the entire star region dropped abruptly, and especially on the Spirit Clan's ancient star, a visible layer of white frost began spreading at high speed.
"It was a Saint King of the Divine Phoenix Clan…!" Someone spoke tremblingly.
One Saint King had just departed, and now another had appeared. Everyone felt their hearts pounding in fear. In ordinary times, it was rare to see even a single Saint King, yet today, two had appeared in succession.
For many cultivators, this alone was something they could boast about for a lifetime.
"Not just that one," the Sixth Ancestor said, her eyes opening and closing as divine light burst forth from them, slicing through the void with terrifying sharpness.
"I sensed the aura of Heavenly Tribulation on this ancient star!"
Though she had not personally witnessed the process of the Spirit Clan's destruction, she could still discern many details simply from the remnants left behind.
If nothing unexpected had happened, before the Spirit Clan was annihilated, someone had undergone Heavenly Tribulation on this ancient star!
And there was a very high probability that this person was not from the Spirit Clan.
After all, no one from the Spirit Clan would be foolish enough to undergo tribulation at their own main stronghold.
"To be honest with you, Senior, besides that Saint King, there was also Li Xun, the Holy Son of the Profound Sun Holy Land, Xiao Fan, and another young man we didn't recognize…" At this moment, someone else spoke up.
The Xiao Clan's prestige was well known—it was a long-standing, enduring power. On today's Desolate Ancient Continent, many people wished to be on good terms with the Xiao Clan.
And clearly, this was the perfect opportunity.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as those words fell, Xiao Tianzheng strode down from the void. His voice rang out coldly:
"How could a mere Li Xun possibly be connected to a Saint King?"
"Moreover, Li Xun should still be on his way to the Abyssal Demons Burial right now. How could he appear here?"
"That Saint King addressed Li Xun as her master." A Divine Palace Realm expert spoke in a low voice.
The moment these words were spoken, the entire star region fell into dead silence.
"Mas… ter?"
Xiao Tianzheng froze. Only after a long while did he come back to his senses. He swept his gaze across the surroundings—everyone present looked the same, and not a single person refuted the claim.
This clearly meant that the speaker's words were true.
"Tianzheng, is this the Scarlet Flame Divine Body you mentioned earlier?" The Sixth Ancestor spoke indifferently.
"Yes, that is him!" Xiao Tianzheng replied at once.
"It seems this person has already begun to take shape," the Sixth Ancestor continued calmly.
"If we continue to let him grow unchecked, he may well become a great calamity for the Xiao Clan. And…"
At this point, she glanced toward the distant void and continued:
"And he has also joined forces with Xiao Fan. In the future, he is destined to become an enemy of the Xiao Clan."
"You must make preparations in advance."
If today's Li Xun could lead others to annihilate the Spirit Clan, then tomorrow's Li Xun might very well be able to annihilate the Xiao Clan.
Right now, Li Xun was only at the Divine Palace Realm, yet he already had a way to make a Saint King acknowledge him as master. Given enough time, would he not also have a way to make a Quasi-Emperor, or even an Emperor, acknowledge him as master as well?
No matter what, the Spirit Clan was an ally of the Xiao Clan, and there were even marital ties between them. With the Spirit Clan destroyed, the Xiao Clan had to make some kind of response.
"Sixth Ancestor, rest assured," Xiao Tianzheng said solemnly. "Tianzheng understands. I will certainly not disappoint you."
"Mm." The Sixth Ancestor nodded slightly.
"That Xiao Fan has also begun to take shape. If my judgment is correct, the one who underwent tribulation at the Spirit Clan earlier should have been him. It's just unclear how many layers of Heavenly Tribulation he passed."
Li Xun's strength was no longer a secret to many people.
Many years ago, he had already survived the Life and Death Tribulation—and rumor had it that it was a ten lightning calamities tribulation. Since it clearly wasn't Li Xun who underwent tribulation at the Spirit Clan, there was only one remaining possibility.
The one who underwent tribulation was Xiao Fan.
From the moment his Immortal Marrow was extracted until now, only a few short years had passed, yet Xiao Fan's growth rate was already enough to inspire fear.
His threat was no less than Li Xun's.
With the Spirit Clan's destruction as a bloody lesson, the Xiao Clan absolutely did not want to see two peerless prodigies standing side by side on the Desolate Ancient Continent. If that were to happen, even with Xiao Chen present, two fists would still struggle against four hands.
There would be no guarantee that the Xiao Clan wouldn't meet the same fate.
To avoid ending up like the Spirit Clan, the Xiao Clan could only choose to strike first—eliminating either Li Xun or Xiao Fan. At present, Xiao Fan was clearly the easier target.
After all, he did not have a Saint King realm servant.
"A mere Xiao Fan can be wiped out with a flick of my finger. If he has the courage, he can come to the Taiyin Divine Mansion to find me at any time…" A young man walked down from the heavens.
He looked gentle and composed, yet with every step he took, he resonated with heaven and earth itself, carrying an indescribable rhythm.
He was incomparably handsome, with sword-like brows slanting into his temples. His appearance was so striking that it would make many women feel jealous—truly peerless in elegance. His entire body shimmered with divine radiance.
The instant he appeared, he seemed to steal all the light between heaven and earth.
Countless gazes unconsciously gathered on him, as though he were the favored child of the heavens, embodying all spiritual grace in a single form.
"This is… Xiao Chen!"
"I never thought he'd come as well—the only genius in history to possess two innate talents!"
"Those words just now should count as a challenge. I wonder whether Xiao Fan, after passing the Life and Death Tribulation, could stand against Xiao Chen…"
"No need to think about it. The Immortal Body on Xiao Chen was originally Xiao Fan's. Xiao Fan now is nothing more than a fast cultivating genius, there's no comparison with Xiao Chen at all."
"Perhaps Li Xun could defeat Xiao Chen."
"Isn't that obvious? Li Xun is already at the Divine Palace Realm. He could crush Xiao Chen effortlessly with just one hand."
The eyes of many onlookers lit up. This was the first time this world-famous prodigy of the Xiao Clan had ever appeared openly in the outside world.
Especially since the moment Xiao Chen appeared, he issued a challenge to Xiao Fan across the void. Many people were extremely curious about what kind of outcome it would be if these two were to clash.
"In my opinion, Xiao Fan will most likely not accept the challenge." An elderly cultivator shook his head.
The gap between Xiao Fan and Xiao Chen was simply too great. If it were only the Immortal Body, things would still be debatable, but the problem was that Xiao Chen had been cultivating in the Taiyin Divine Mansion all this time.
By contrast, Xiao Fan seemed to have fallen into the ranks of a lone rogue cultivator. With his foundation, there was no way he could compare to Xiao Chen. Moreover, no one even knew how many layers of the Life and Death Tribulation Xiao Fan had passed.
That made Xiao Fan's true combat strength even harder to judge.
"Ten years from now, I will personally go to the Profound Sun Holy Land and fight Li Xun!"
Xiao Chen spoke words that shocked the world, tossing out yet another bombshell.
On the Spirit Clan's ancient star, which had been deathly silent, in an instant, an uproar erupted.
