“Strongest Eight-Year-Old Divine Ancestor ... ”
“Salty Picture, Zhai Gang, Azure Crocodile... they are all... dead?”
Even though they were at a considerable distance, the other cultivators from various factions near the Flying Immortal Platform could still feel the power left behind by Ye Fan's recent strike.
Some cultivators at the peak of the Ascension Realm or in the Celestial Realm rushed to the spot where Zhai Gang had just fallen, but they did not dare to approach that area at all.
In that place, within a certain range, it seemed as if it had transformed into an ocean of sword energy.
Sword energy and Sword Intent rampaged wildly, terrifyingly powerful; even the residual force could easily obliterate those in the Ascension Realm and Celestial Realm.
The crowd exchanged glances, unable to believe what they were witnessing without seeing it with their own eyes.
Salty Picture, Zhai Gang, Azure Crocodile, they were among the strongest cultivators of the Flying Immortal Platform.
Moreover, they were powerful figures under dominant forces like the Suspended King Sword Sect, Ninefold Celestial Gate, and Celestial Demon Domain.
They represented the might of the Suspended King Sword Sect, Ninefold Celestial Gate, and Celestial Demon Domain.
Yet now, they had all been forcefully slain by someone who had just ascended from the Lower Realm!
“Whew—!”
The crowd took a deep breath; even having witnessed it firsthand, they still found it hard to believe, struggling to calm their shock.
However, not long after, the expressions of these cultivators changed dramatically as they sensed terrifying celestial might sweeping toward them like a tidal wave, overwhelming and unstoppable. In an instant, several incredibly powerful figures appeared before them.
“It’s Celestial King Tianyi from the Suspended King Sword Sect, Dao Liang, the Immortal King from the Ninefold Celestial Gate, and Chang Liu Xian Wang from the Celestial Demon Domain!”
The cultivators looked on in shock, not expecting the strong figures from the Suspended King Sword Sect, Ninefold Celestial Gate, and Celestial Demon Domain to arrive so quickly, and even more surprising was that they had all dispatched Celestial Kings.
But there was no time for further thought; facing the Celestial Kings, they felt like mere ants.
They hurriedly knelt on one knee, respectfully greeting the three figures that appeared before them, saying, "We pay our respects to the esteemed Celestial Kings."
Celestial King Tianyi, Dao Liang, the Immortal King, and Chang Liu Xian Wang paid no attention to the cultivators but instead turned their gazes toward the place where Zhai Gang had fallen.
Sensing the sword energy and Sword Intent emanating from that location, Celestial King Tianyi said coldly, "The Sword Intent here is quite domineering. Not to mention Early Celestial Immortals; even Mid-Level Celestial Immortals could be annihilated."
"In other words, that kid may have just ascended, but he already possesses the strength of a Mid-Level Celestial Immortal, or perhaps even stronger," Dao Liang, the Immortal King remarked lightly.
Celestial King Tianyi nodded with a solemn expression. "It is indeed hard to believe. How could someone who has just ascended be so powerful?"
Chang Liu Xian Wang seemed less concerned about this and instead carefully sensed the remnants of sword energy at Zhai Gang's fallen location. "The sword energy here is indeed very domineering," he noted.
"What do you mean?"
Celestial King Tianyi and Dao Liang, the Immortal King turned their attention to Chang Liu Xian Wang.
Chang Liu Xian Wang gave them a meaningful glance. "Haven't you felt the sword energy here?"
"Sword energy?"
Celestial King Tianyi and Dao Liang, the Immortal King frowned slightly. They had certainly sensed the sword energy here; it was so intense that they could see the storm of sword energy with their naked eyes.
Suddenly, both Celestial King Tianyi and Dao Liang, the Immortal King’s eyes widened in realization, their expressions turning serious as they looked back at Chang Liu Xian Wang. "Is it..."
The two did not speak, but they had already roughly guessed the situation.
"That's right, it's that kind of power," Chang Liu Xian Wang said.
The sword that Ye Fan used to finally kill Zhai Gang was precisely one of the Twenty-Four Sword Techniques wielded by the Heavenly Sword Emperor, a technique that dominated the Immortal Realm.
Each of the Heavenly Sword Emperor's twenty-four swords was more domineering than the last, allowing him to traverse the universe with ease.
Thus, regarding the power unleashed by his sword techniques, these Celestial Kings, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, were quite familiar with it. Just a subtle sensing was enough for them to feel the strength of the Twenty-Four Sword Techniques.
"Other powerful figures from different factions will likely arrive soon. If we don't want to complicate matters, we should erase the sword energy here first!" Chang Liu Xian Wang communicated with Celestial King Tianyi and Dao Liang, the Immortal King.
Celestial King Tianyi and Dao Liang, the Immortal King both nodded. Then, an incomparably terrifying energy erupted from their bodies, directly erasing the sword energy and Sword Intent left behind by Ye Fan's strike.
Just after they eliminated the storm of sword energy left by Ye Fan, other powerful figures from nearby factions also began to arrive at the Flying Immortal Platform.
The Whitewood Celestial King and those under Azure Sovereign had sent their own people as well.
"Greetings to several Celestial Kings," they said.
Ye Fan had killed members of the Suspended King Sword Sect, Ninefold Celestial Gate, and Celestial Demon Domain. Therefore, although other factions sent experts, they were not Celestial Kings themselves; most were powerful figures from the Celestial Mansion Realm.
After briefly inquiring about what had happened from their disciples, they approached Celestial King Tianyi, Dao Liang, the Immortal King, and Chang Liu Xian Wang to offer a slight bow.
Celestial King Tianyi, Dao Liang, the Immortal King, and Chang Liu Xian Wang all nodded lightly, their expressions appearing somewhat grim.
These individuals certainly understood that the three Celestial Kings were likely in a foul mood at this moment; after all, their disciples stationed near the Flying Immortal Platform had been slaughtered completely. No one would feel good under such circumstances.
Especially since the other party was someone who had just ascended, the situation became even more awkward.
The Whitewood Celestial King was merely a strong figure within the Celestial King Realm, and thus, those under his command dared not speak out.
After the Celestial Mansion Realm experts under Azure Sovereign paid their respects to Celestial King Tianyi, Dao Liang, the Immortal King, and Chang Liu Xian Wang, several prominent Celestial Kings, one of them couldn't help but smile and ask, "Esteemed Celestial Kings, do you happen to know that ascendant? I just heard from my subordinates that they seem to have some past connections with your disciples, especially with the Suspended King Sword Sect..."
"Hmph! When did the affairs of my Suspended King Sword Sect become your concern? Did Azure Sovereign send you to ask?" Before the other could finish speaking, Celestial King Tianyi of the Suspended King Sword Sect coldly snorted, his gaze sweeping over the Celestial Mansion Realm expert under Azure Sovereign, exuding a powerful pressure.
Upon hearing this, the smile on the face of Azure Sovereign's expert instantly froze. Feeling the pressure emanating from Celestial King Tianyi, he quickly offered an apology, saying, "No, Lord Azure Sovereign is extremely busy and wouldn't concern himself with such trivial matters. It was my curiosity that got the better of me; I hope Celestial King Tianyi will forgive me."
"Get lost!"
Celestial King Tianyi replied with a dismissive grunt.
"Yes."
The expert from Azure Sovereign's side felt a hint of displeasure on his face but dared not voice it. He simply turned and left in a huff.
The three Celestial Kings did not linger. After sending a message for someone to station at the Flying Immortal Platform, they immediately pursued the direction in which Ye Fan had departed.
Ye Fan had only just left for a short while; there was still a lingering aura in the void. In their eyes, given their cultivation strength and speed as Celestial Kings, catching up to Ye Fan would be no difficult task.
