"How can you be a pure-blooded Zhan Tian Clan? The Zhan Tian Clan retreated from history ten thousand years ago!"
You Ran looked at Yun Fan in disbelief.
Yun Fan asked, "Why did they retreat from history?"
However, at this very moment, You Ran fell silent. It wasn't that he wouldn't speak, but he no longer had the chance.
The devouring power had consumed him completely.
Yun Fan was truly speechless. He hadn't expected to hoist himself by his own petard one day, but it was too late to say anything.
He didn't know why the Zhan Tian Clan had disappeared from history, but he knew that not exposing his identity was the best course of action for now.
Once exposed, there might be irreversible hidden dangers.
After You Ran's death, Yun Fan returned to silence. That's right, this time he was going to break through to the second realm of Lie Xian.
Having devoured the spiritual stones and You Ran's power, breaking through to the second realm shouldn't be a problem.
...
Seeing You Ran's soul lamp extinguished, You Du was so furious he almost fainted.
He hadn't expected his own son to perish in there. At this moment, all he wanted was to gather an army and return to avenge his son.
But reason stopped him. You Ran's strength had already reached the second realm of Lie Xian.
Yet, even with such strength, he had died in the Immortal Realm. He couldn't guarantee his own safety if he went as a third-realm cultivator.
After all, someone capable of killing a second-realm cultivator should be comparable in strength to him, so he retreated.
But at this moment, he felt as if he had aged ten thousand years. After all, with You Ran's death, the ambitions and hopes of the Han Bing Clan were shattered.
They could no longer marry the princess of the Lie Yan Clan. For the Han Bing Clan to rise again would be harder than ascending to heaven. What was thought to be a blessed land had now become a death trap for the Han Bing Clan.
Helpless, he began to seek help from the Lie Yan Clan.
That's right, even though You Ran was dead, he was still betrothed to the Lie Yan Clan.
It wasn't too much to ask the Lie Yan Clan to avenge his son. Originally, the Lie Yan Clan was unhappy about this engagement.
Now that You Ran was dead, the Lie Yan Clan should be happy, but precisely because of this, the Lie Yan Clan, for the sake of face, would surely help.
Thus, he sent the situation to the Lie Yan Clan via a warship and soon received a response: they agreed to help avenge him.
"No matter how strong you are, as long as the Lie Yan Clan intervenes, you will surely be annihilated!"
You Du said furiously.
...
In the Immortal Realm, after Yun Fan converted and absorbed the power, as expected, he indeed broke through to the second realm of Lie Xian.
After breaking through to the second realm, he found that he was countless times stronger than in the first realm of Lie Xian. Apart from getting stronger, he hadn't truly felt anything else.
But just getting stronger was enough. If he encountered a strong cultivator like You Ran now, he could kill them instantly.
That's right, the Lie Xian realm was a peculiar realm. Even within the same realm, he could instantly kill his opponents.
In reality, it wasn't the realm that was strange; it was his constitution, the Zhan Tian Constitution.
The Zhan Tian Constitution, which had retreated from history, would reappear in this era.
"Master, I've broken through too!"
Yao Xi said excitedly to Yun Fan.
When Yun Fan saw Yao Xi's cultivation realm as the first realm of Lie Xian, he was truly shocked. He hadn't expected a pseudo-constitution to break through so quickly.
It could only be said that the Zhan Tian Constitution was incredibly powerful.
However, when he thought about it, there was no need to be too surprised. After all, Yao Xi could already kill powerful cultivators like You Han in the first realm of Lie Xian before.
Bi Yao and Hong Lian were a bit dejected, as they were still at the tenth realm of Zhen Xian and hadn't broken through to Lie Xian yet.
Yun Fan immediately comforted them. After all, their cultivation started much later than Yao Xi's. Being at this level was already quite good.
If it weren't for the emergence of these cosmic powerful races, they would have been the absolute ceiling in the Immortal Realm, and no one could have defeated them.
But the two women weren't easily comforted by Yun Fan. They immediately proposed to have a three-day-and-three-night battle with Yun Fan.
Yun Fan nearly collapsed, mainly because his kidneys couldn't handle it!
However, what was even more despairing was that Yao Xi didn't want them to be so arrogant and proposed to join in.
At this moment, Yun Fan was completely broken.
He truly hadn't expected such an outcome.
Afterward, Yun Fan had a "battle" with the three women.
It had to be said that he was quite imposing in the first half, completely subduing the three women.
But in the second half, he was spent.
After all, the three women no longer fought him one-on-one but together. So, even Yun Fan couldn't withstand it!
Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to concede.
Unbeknownst to him, the reinforcements from the Han Bing Clan had also arrived.
Compared to the Han Bing Clan, the warships of the Lie Yan Clan were much more advanced.
In just a few days, they arrived outside the Immortal Realm.
At this moment, You Du was extremely excited upon seeing the arrivals, because the people from the Lie Yan Clan this time were extremely powerful.
The person who arrived was Yan Xin.
The eldest princess of the Lie Yan Clan, she was very powerful within the clan and was also You Ran's fiancée.
Back then, when You Du went to the Lie Yan Clan to propose, they refused, and she was even more disdainful.
It was only when You Du shamelessly presented the contract between the two clans, vowing eternal damnation if either party violated it, that the Lie Yan Clan reluctantly agreed.
After all, this contract had endured for an unknown number of millennia, and both sides had broken this vow in history.
But they were all punished by heavenly retribution in the end.
Therefore, the Lie Yan Clan's agreement was out of helplessness.
Yan Xin, however, was displeased. The person she truly loved was not You Ran. Although You Ran was the young master of the Han Bing Clan, he was not worthy of her.
He was far from worthy. Her strength was at the fourth realm of Lie Xian, while You Ran was at the second realm of Lie Xian.
The gap in the future would only widen, but because of the vow, she could only reluctantly agree.
However, this was naturally only a superficial agreement. After all, she had already prepared how to make You Ran die first, thus canceling the vow.
Unexpectedly, she received a tremendous surprise: You Ran was dead, perishing in this small place called the Immortal Realm.
Upon hearing this news, not only the Lie Yan Clan was pleasantly surprised, but Yan Xin also exclaimed in her heart that it was wonderful.
After all, from today onwards, she and the Lie Yan Clan would no longer have to fear the vow.
Fortunately, You Du was somewhat sensible. As long as the murderer was killed, he would not pester the Lie Yan Clan anymore, so the Lie Yan Clan readily agreed.
To show their sincerity, they directly sent Yan Xin.
"Princess, you must avenge my son! How devoted was my son to you in his life? You cannot let him die with regret!"
You Du said with tears streaming down his face.
Yan Xin felt disgusted hearing this, but at this moment, she still comforted him, "Uncle, don't worry, I will avenge you! However, the clan has a requirement. I have refused it many times, but they are still so persistent, and I can't help it!"
Saying this, Yan Xin put on a distressed expression.
You Du asked doubtfully, "What requirement is it? Princess, please speak frankly!"
Yan Xin said, "It's not a big requirement. It's just that Uncle needs to hand over the Book of Oaths!"
As soon as these words were spoken, You Du almost choked with anger. This was not a big requirement? Then what would be a big requirement!
Without the Book of Oaths, the Han Bing Clan would never be able to seek help from the Lie Yan Clan again, as the only vow that bound the Lie Yan Clan would disappear.
"This is a major event, and it was passed down from our ancestors. I cannot arbitrarily decide to release it,"
You Du said with difficulty. In any case, he would never dissolve the Book of Oaths.
Yan Xin then said, "This is an instruction from the clan. If Uncle doesn't hand it over, I cannot help you avenge him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, You Du was filled with rage, but he had no choice given the circumstances.
However, when he thought that once they took control of the Immortal Realm, this blessed land would belong to the Han Bing Clan, he felt it was necessary to make a sacrifice at this moment.
Thus, he immediately said, "Princess, if you can guarantee that this place will belong to my Han Bing Clan after we take it, then I will agree!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Xin immediately said, "Uncle, don't worry. I keep my word. I will not let the Lie Yan Clan lay claim to this blessed land!"
"Good!"
At this moment, You Du took out the Book of Oaths and destroyed it along with Yan Xin in front of her.
In other words, from now on, the two clans would have no relationship whatsoever. This was the goal of the Lie Yan Clan, and how could You Du not know it?
"Let you be arrogant for a few thousand years. As long as my Han Bing Clan obtains this blessed land, within ten thousand years, we will return to our peak. At that time, no matter how strong the Lie Yan Clan is, they will have to look up to us!"
You Du vowed silently in his heart.
At this moment, Yan Xin said excitedly, "Uncle, don't worry. Although the vow is gone, it does not affect the relationship between our two clans. We will continue to be the best of friends!"
"Hmph!"
You Du snorted coldly in his heart. He couldn't stand Yan Xin's disgusting demeanor. Although Yan Xin's beauty was stunning throughout the universe, at this moment, he only felt the ugliness of the Lie Yan Clan.
Thus, he said, "Naturally. As for the matter of revenge..."
"Uncle, don't worry, leave it to me!"
"Good!"
You Du nodded and said, "I will accompany the Princess. We must avenge my son!"
"Please!"
