"Roar!"
At this moment, Su Mi Tian's very breath was a devouring inferno, his last ounce of strength poured into a final blow against Yun Fan.
But alas, Yun Fan was prepared. He had already burned Su Mi Tian's entire body to ashes.
Yun Fan absorbed a portion of Su Mi Tian's power, breaking through to the second realm of Immortal Emperor. With a little more time, the third realm would also be within reach.
With Su Mi Tian's death, Qing Feng and Qing Shan, who had been fighting Qing Luan and the Heavenly Empress, dissolved into a strange mist and vanished into the heavens and earth.
The Immortal King level powerhouses battling Jin Feng met the same fate.
This unexpected turn of events caught Qing Luan off guard.
"Why? Why did it turn out this way?" Qing Luan asked, unwilling to accept it.
The Heavenly Empress and Jin Feng were equally bewildered.
Yun Fan, with his usual professionalism, explained, "Because they made a pact with the uncanny, trading their souls for it. When the uncanny was destroyed, their souls ceased to exist!"
Upon hearing this, the three women finally understood. But by then, Qing Luan was already broken. From this day on, the so-called True Martial tribe would cease to exist.
She was alone.
This was not the outcome she desired, but the cruel reality was before her. What could she do?
Yun Fan said, "No matter who you associate with, do not associate with the uncanny. Once you become their puppet, you will have no chance to regret it!"
Undoubtedly, the three women now harbored a deep dread of the uncanny.
"Let's go!" Yun Fan said to Qing Luan, "You are not alone. You have us. We are your most steadfast teammates!"
"Mhm!" Qing Luan wiped away her tears. It was the True Martial tribe's own fault. Since everything had turned to dust, there was no reason to resist.
Following this, the three women and Yun Fan embarked on the starry path.
"Husband, we still can't find the coordinates of your homeland!" the Heavenly Empress said with remorse.
They had tried every method, but to no avail.
In truth, Yun Fan had already given up at this point.
He said, "Don't worry. I don't believe there's no way back!"
At this moment, Qing Luan said, "As long as I break through to Immortal Emperor, I can use my divine sense to explore the entire universe!"
"Mhm!" Yun Fan believed Qing Luan.
Then, the Heavenly Empress said, "But there's another way. We can follow the characteristics of the coordinates you mentioned to search!"
"It may take several years or even longer, but this is currently the only way!"
"Alright!" Yun Fan agreed. "We'll use this method!"
However, the three women simultaneously declared, "But you cannot return!"
"What do you mean?" Yun Fan asked, confused.
Qing Luan explained, "The chaotic era has begun, and with it, the path to the universe has opened. You must go to the path of the universe to train!"
"What about you?" Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
The Heavenly Empress replied, "Our lifespan has exceeded the limit. We cannot go to the path of the universe!"
"But I am also from ten thousand years ago!" Yun Fan said awkwardly.
"Your soul is, but your body is not! Your body is only a few decades old, so you can go!" Qing Luan stated directly. "If you can break through the encirclement on the path of the universe, then breaking through to Immortal Emperor is within reach!"
Yun Fan was moved by this. After all, it was the best way to reach Immortal Emperor.
Jin Feng said, "Husband, you can go with peace of mind! You're worried because you fear for our safety, but with us protecting each other, you can rest assured!"
With the protection of the three women, Yun Fan was indeed less worried.
Therefore, at this moment, he immediately said, "Alright, I'll return after I've conquered the path of the universe!"
"Mhm!" Qing Luan said, "By then, the universe will be even more chaotic. With Immortal Emperors overseeing it, all troubles can be resolved!"
Even Immortal Emperors would be affected, but your grandpa is still your grandpa. After all, Immortal Emperors are already at the level of cosmic overlords. As long as they don't act recklessly, surviving is not a problem.
Although Qing Luan's peak was at Immortal Emperor, she now knew that her breakthrough speed was no match for Yun Fan's. It would be better for Yun Fan to reach Immortal Emperor.
Yun Fan, having accepted their advice, took the coordinates they gave him and set off on the path of the universe.
Of course, the distance was vast, spanning nearly half the universe. It would take Yun Fan several years, perhaps even a decade, to reach his destination.
Seeing Yun Fan depart, the three women missed him dearly and soon caught up with him.
"My three wives! What do you intend to do?" Yun Fan asked, bewildered.
In his mind, the three women likely had something to tell him, so he planned to get to the bottom of it.
However, the three women straightforwardly replied, "We want to eat leftovers together!"
"Uh..."
...
Four years later, the Immortal Realm had undergone earth-shattering changes. While powerful figures were still scarce, for the Immortal Realm, it was a rising overlord race.
Among them, the women led by Lin Tian Xin had broken through at an astonishing speed, especially Lin Tian Xin and Yao Xi. They were in constant competition, each wanting to be the first wife, so their cultivation levels were roughly the same.
Lin Tian Xin had broken through to Immortal King, becoming a powerful existence in the third realm. Yao Xi was even more impressive, reaching the fourth realm. The two women had vowed that whoever became Immortal Emperor first would be the leader. Neither was willing to concede, and both had become paragons in their own right.
This breakthrough speed left Lie Huo in awe. He himself, who was once at the first realm of Immortal King, was now only at the second realm. While he was proud, the gap between him and Yun Fan's women was immense. He had also repeatedly warned his daughter Yan Xin not to even think about competing for the position of first wife, but to be content with being a junior.
Although the breakthrough speed of all the women was not slow, they were filled with melancholy. After all, Yun Fan had been gone for several years. Of course, they had a connection to Yun Fan's Battle Heaven Power, which told them that Yun Fan was merely absent and safe. However, they couldn't be happy, as they missed Yun Fan dearly. Even Bi Yao and Hong Lian, leading a faction, wanted to go find Yun Fan. But they were suppressed by Yao Xi and Lin Tian Xin, who knew that Yun Fan would always be ahead of them. The universe was vast and full of dangers. Since they couldn't find Yun Fan, they couldn't be a burden to him. They firmly believed that Yun Fan was not yet at his strongest and would return once he reached his peak. Their role was simply to continue their cultivation and not lag behind Yun Fan.
But at this very moment, the Immortal Realm's alarm sirens blared, for a top-tier powerful race was advancing towards the Immortal Realm. This race was the Great Peng tribe, led by their Great Peng King, an existence in the third realm of Immortal Emperor, incredibly formidable. Their副族长 (fùzúzhǎng - vice chief) was also remarkably powerful, in the second realm. These two Immortal Emperors had come together, vowing to conquer the Immortal Realm, a place so suitable for cultivation and remarkably stable. Even though the Immortal Realm had formations to isolate everything, they had still discovered it, and the Great Peng tribe had arrogantly shattered the formations protecting the Immortal Realm. However, they had also suffered significant losses. Most of the powerhouses below Immortal King had perished. The Great Peng King was enraged. He hadn't expected that taking down a mere Immortal Realm would come at such a devastating cost. Thus, he immediately ordered the slaughter of the entire Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm was thrown into turmoil, as this was not a battle of equal footing. Lin Tian Xin and Yao Xi voluntarily stepped forward, willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the Immortal Realm. Their other plan was to retreat to Earth. However, evacuation required activating the coordinates, and their fighting could only delay the inevitable.
When the Great Peng King saw Lin Tian Xin, Yao Xi, and the many other stunning beauties, his eyes gleamed with lust. He hadn't expected such exquisite beauties to be hidden in this small Immortal Realm. They were clearly prepared for him. Even though the Great Peng tribe had lost so many people, he didn't care. These beauties were the best consolation. Just as he was about to begin the slaughter and the two women were preparing to fight to the death, three Immortal Emperor auras descended from afar. Instantly, the Great Peng King's expression changed, as two of the Immortal Emperors seemed to far surpass him in strength. Although Jin Feng, who had only recently broken through to Immortal Emperor with Yun Fan's Battle Heaven Power, was only at the first realm, she barely needed to act. Qing Luan, at the sixth realm, and the Heavenly Empress, at the fifth realm, could handle it easily. Initially, Yao Xi and Lin Tian Xin were also dismayed, not expecting two powerful enemies to arrive today. Why was the Immortal Realm so unlucky? Any group would be too much for them to handle, especially the latter, whose power was terrifyingly immense. Even they had no power to resist. However, as the distance closed and they saw the three women, Lin Tian Xin and Yao Xi felt a wave of relief. The three women were so stunningly beautiful, rare beauties in the universe, and they all possessed diluted Battle Heaven Power. Without a doubt, they were Yun Fan's women. They were speechless at Yun Fan's philandering nature, but they knew that Yun Fan had an innate charisma that attracted women, so it was not entirely his fault. In any case, the three women were their saviors. Besides, they already had enough sisters; three more wouldn't make a difference.
"Great Peng King, your death day has arrived!"
