Zhang Fan stood calmly in place, but within his internal cosmos, a vast chaotic energy surged. Zhang Fan opened his palm, and a palm print containing the ultimate power condensed in his hand. He then gently pushed it forward, the ultimate palm print floating towards Luo He Immortal King.
The Luo He Immortal King, who had remained composed until this moment, felt a ripple in her unflustered heart the instant Zhang Fan pushed his palm forward. She clearly sensed that it wasn't the palm print drifting towards her, but the entire world being drawn in by the ultimate palm print. Even she herself felt a loss of complete control over her body.
"Luo He Divine Diagram!" Facing this seemingly weightless palm strike, the Luo He Immortal King felt an irresistible urge. However, her powerful will forced it away, and she unleashed her ultimate skill.
A river descended like a starry river, studded with stars. It contained the power of a small cosmos and swept towards the ultimate palm print.
However, the Luo He Immortal King's internal cosmos was only ten thousand light-years across. How could the cosmic power she unleashed possibly contend with Zhang Fan's? The Luo He Divine Diagram was grand in scale, but it disintegrated upon contact, turning into a sky full of chaotic energy. The ultimate palm print, unaffected, landed on the Luo He Immortal King.
"Boom!"
The palm print, seemingly lacking force, contained power far beyond the Luo He Immortal King's imagination. In an instant, the Luo He Immortal King was sent flying backward, propelled into the starry expanse and out of sight.
"Master?" Zhen Hai Immortal King watched this scene in astonishment, then quickly crossed space to pursue.
"Is Master alright?" Qin Luo Shui was both pleased by Zhang Fan's immense power and worried about her Master's safety.
"Rest assured, I showed mercy out of respect for you and Zhi Wu Immortal King," Zhang Fan said.
"Let's go, we'll head back first." Zhang Fan took Qin Luo Shui's hand. He no longer thought about anything else. In this life, he was no longer alone.
With his parents by his side, disciples and followers trailing him, and his beloved woman accompanying him, he was already immensely content.
As Zhang Fan and his party departed, Tian Sheng City erupted. A casual palm strike had sent the master of the Luo He domain, Luo He Immortal King, flying. Even with their low cultivation, they could fully understand that their strengths were on entirely different levels.
However, Luo He Immortal King was already at the peak of the Chaos Realm. To be able to achieve such a feat, was this person an Immortal Venerable?
Only after Zhang Fan's figure disappeared from the street did the City Lord of Tian Sheng City heave a long sigh of relief. The scene was too shocking, and even now, he felt a lingering fear. If that mysterious powerhouse had been a bit more ruthless, he might have also perished on the spot, his soul annihilated, just like Ancestor Dong Fang.
"That old man, he really caused trouble!"
...
In the distant starry sky, Zhen Hai Immortal King found Luo He Immortal King. Seeing that she was unharmed, Zhen Hai Immortal King couldn't help but feel relieved, while also filled with shock. To send a peak Chaos Realm expert flying over a light-year away without causing any injury, to what level must one's control over power and comprehension of the Dao have reached?
"Master, this person's strength is supreme, but it seems he had no malicious intent," Zhen Hai Immortal King said.
"I know him." Luo He Immortal King still couldn't believe it. Decades ago, when Zhi Wu Immortal King brought Qin Luo Shui, he had mentioned Zhang Fan. But she had dismissed it. Qin Luo Shui's talent was indeed extraordinary, and her physique was very suitable for cultivating her Dao. She was a disciple she greatly favored.
At the time, when she heard that Qin Luo Shui already had a companion, Luo He Immortal King didn't pay much attention. After all, no matter how outstanding her companion was, he ultimately came from the Savage Star Domain. To be able to cultivate to the God Transformation stage was already top-tier. Not everyone possessed the innate talent and intellect of Zhi Wu Immortal King.
But, in just a few decades, that young man who emerged from the Savage Star Domain had reached such a level. Although both were at the peak of the Chaos Realm, she couldn't even block one of his moves.
Perhaps he had still held back out of consideration for Qin Luo Shui, otherwise that palm strike would have been enough to cause her internal cosmos to collapse. Such strength was beyond her comprehension.
"It seems I need to go see Yan Huang. A great power has descended upon his Sheng Tu Star Domain. I wonder if he can remain at ease?" Thinking this, Luo He Immortal King headed towards the main star of the Sheng Tu Star Domain.
...
Zhang Fan returned to the small courtyard with Qin Luo Shui. A group of people sat cross-legged around a stone table. Zhang Fan recounted his adventurous experiences over the years, the friends he had made, and his path of cultivation to Qin Luo Shui.
Qin Luo Shui gazed at Zhang Fan dazedly, showing a rare look of infatuation. Years of cultivation had made her realize how incredibly difficult it was to achieve Zhang Fan's current accomplishments.
Looking at the familiar faces before her, she was filled with emotion. Even the Blood Demon Flood Dragon, which was just a flood dragon back then, could now transform.
Just as everyone was chatting happily, Zhang Fan suddenly stood up, puzzling everyone.
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "An old friend has arrived. I'll go welcome them."
Luo He Immortal King, dressed in palace attire and always shrouded in mist, Zhi Wu Immortal King, clad in white robes with a refined demeanor, and Yan Huang Immortal King, wearing a colorful crown and exuding an aura of dominance – each of these three was a peak Chaos Realm expert, capable of making a high-level star domain tremble with a mere stomp. Yet, they now appeared simultaneously before the small courtyard Zhang Fan had temporarily purchased.
Just as they were about to begin, they saw Zhang Fan push open the courtyard gate, a warm smile on his face as he looked at the three of them. He said, "Three peak Chaos Realm cultivators visiting at once is truly flattering. Please come in."
The three, Luo He Immortal King, were filled with confusion. The Zhang Fan before them was completely different from when they had met before. The previous arrogance was gone, replaced by a remarkable approachability, even treating them as peers.
After all, in the myriad star domains, seniority was always determined by power, regardless of how young Zhang Fan was. The fact that he could effortlessly obliterate Chaos Realm cultivators meant they could only address him as a junior.
The people inside the courtyard watched as Zhang Fan welcomed the three strong individuals. They had seen one of them before, and the other two exuded an aura no less potent than Luo He Immortal King's, clearly indicating they were also peak Chaos Realm masters.
"Master," Qin Luo Shui saw her Master and immediately rose to pay her respects.
Luo He Immortal King nodded, looking at her most favored ninth disciple with complex emotions.
"Please sit," Zhang Fan casually sat cross-legged on the ground. Zhi Wu Immortal King and the other two, helpless, could only do the same.
"Zhi Wu, you must have many questions," Zhang Fan looked at Zhi Wu Immortal King with a half-smile and said.
"Zhi Wu does have many questions. Senior Zhang Fan, are you truly from the Wu Shan Star Domain?" Zhi Wu Immortal King asked.
"You can just call me by my name." Zhang Fan's gaze then fell on Yan Huang Immortal King, a king of immense authority. Zhang Fan had a significant relationship with him in his previous life.
