At this moment, the sky underwent an unusual change, and the energy accumulating in the clouds became increasingly terrifying.
Even the ancestor of the Zhou family had to order everyone in the palace to evacuate.
Sensing the danger, Fang Ling wanted to leave.
But as soon as he flew a short distance, he found that the dark clouds in the sky were closely following him.
It seemed that no matter where he fled, he couldn’t escape this tribulation.
Realizing he couldn’t avoid it, Fang Ling stopped wasting his efforts and halted in place.
A colorless, soundless, and elusive energy descended from the clouds, striking Fang Ling.
In an instant, his body exploded into countless fragments, turning into a pool of blood and flesh splattering on the ground.
In the distance, the ancestor of the Rong family and the Great Zhou Emperor Rong Shan both felt a chill down their spines.
Even as immortals, they were horrified by this heavenly punishment.
Crown Prince Rong Chao watched in a daze, murmuring, “What a pity…”
“Heavenly punishment… So, when someone becomes too monstrous, even the heavens won’t tolerate it.”
Just as everyone was in shock and regret, an even more terrifying scene unfolded!
The originally shattered Fang Ling began to revive!
His body regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he was a living person again.
Fang Ling looked up gravely, staring into the depths of the clouds, which had not dissipated!
At this moment, another surge of colorless, formless energy erupted from the ground, blasting him into a mist of blood.
“That was heavenly punishment, now it’s earthly annihilation. Truly terrifying!” the ancestor of the Rong family exclaimed.
Rong Shan said, “He revived from a pool of blood earlier, he might not die this time either.”
Rong Chao added, “It’s terrifying. He revived from that state, no wonder he faced such a tribulation.”
Everyone watched the mist of blood, thinking no miracle would happen again.
But strangely, the mist of blood instantly coalesced, and flesh began to regenerate!
Seeing that Fang Ling had already grown half a body, both heavenly punishment and earthly annihilation struck again, seemingly determined to obliterate him completely!
The mist and flesh vanished without a trace.
It was as if Fang Ling had never existed in this world, leaving no trace behind.
The dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, returning to a clear blue sky, leaving behind a city full of astonished cultivators.
“What a pity… If he hadn’t died, our human race would have produced a peerless genius,” the ancestor of the Rong family sighed, turning to head back to the palace.
Rong Chao stared at the spot where Fang Ling had been destroyed, speechless for a long time.
He clenched his fists, silently angry, “If I had known, I would have fought him back then. Now, there’s no chance…”
Just when everyone thought Fang Ling had been erased, a miracle happened again!
Fang Ling reappeared in his original position.
Even with his undying heart, he couldn’t withstand such heavenly and earthly tribulations.
So, at the last moment, he used one of the Dao techniques he had created during his enlightenment—Void!
Initially, he used the Karmic Rebound of Immortal Arts to resist the tribulation, but he found it useless.
Because what wanted to erase him wasn’t a living being, but the very heavens and earth.
The energy he rebounded was insignificant to the heavens and earth, thus completely ineffective.
But the Void technique was a delicate spatial art.
After casting it, his soul and body would become ethereal, immune to any form of attack.
Even the might of the heavens and earth was no exception!
At the last moment, he used this technique to evade the tribulation, making the Heavenly Dao believe he had been erased, successfully avoiding this wave of tribulation.
“He’s not dead?” The ancestor of the Rong family, who had turned away, came back.
The Great Zhou Emperor Rong Shan was also secretly shocked, thinking, “The descendant of the Longevity Family is truly terrifying?”
“I, a Jade Immortal, actually feel awe towards a young man in the Alioth Realm…”
Rong Chao laughed and quickly flew to Fang Ling’s side.
“Congratulations on your rebirth, Daoist Ling Fang!” he said.
Fang Ling looked at Rong Chao and asked, “Why is it so quiet around here?”
“Has a long time passed?”
Rong Chao nodded, “Indeed! It’s been ten years.”
“Most of the people left in the first year of your enlightenment at the Dragon Arena.”
“Ten years? It’s been that long?” Fang Ling was surprised.
“Rong Chao, unworthy as I am, wishes to challenge you,” he said, “I hope Daoist Ling Fang won’t refuse.”
With that, golden protective aura emerged from Rong Chao’s body, and his momentum peaked.
The emperor’s aura, unique to the Emperor’s Body, exerted its might, enveloping Fang Ling.
The emperor’s aura had a suppressive effect on almost everyone, weakening their combat power by thirty percent.
But Fang Ling’s Chaos Sacred Body wouldn’t allow such a situation.
A more powerful aura burst from him, instantly suppressing Rong Chao’s emperor’s aura!
Rong Chao wasn’t surprised that his usually invincible Emperor’s Body couldn’t suppress Fang Ling; he just smiled.
“Try this move, Dragon Fist!” he punched with all his might.
The punch transformed into a mighty Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, accompanied by a dragon’s roar, charging at Fang Ling.
Fang Ling also punched, but it was just an ordinary punch.
After a violent energy fluctuation, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon instantly disintegrated, and Rong Chao was pushed back by Fang Ling’s punch.
He retreated ten zhang before barely stabilizing himself.
“Fine, let’s settle this with one move!” Rong Chao leaped up, spreading his hands.
The unparalleled Human Emperor’s aura continuously gathered into his right hand, forming the Human Emperor Seal in his palm!
This was a palm strike imbued with the power of destiny, completely different from ordinary Divine Powers.
Seeing the mighty Human Emperor Seal coming at him, Fang Ling’s eyes flashed with a strange light.
This palm strike was indeed extraordinary; he was suppressed, unable to move, and couldn’t mobilize his spiritual power.
With a loud bang, the Human Emperor Seal struck him, shattering his protective aura.
Fang Ling took three steps back before stabilizing himself.
Although the palm strike was impressive, it only managed to break his defense and didn’t cause significant harm.
Opposite him, Rong Chao watched this scene and smiled bitterly, “I lost…”
Fang Ling had almost no injuries from his strongest attack, so there was no need to continue fighting.
After admitting defeat, the emperor’s aura around him instantly dissipated, and a trace of blood oozed from his mouth.
This was the price of his failure; the Emperor’s Body was nearly ruined…
Unless he could overcome the setback and regain his Dao heart.
His father, Rong Shan, flashed and appeared before Fang Ling.
Facing this Great Zhou Emperor of the immortal realm, Fang Ling was on high alert.
Rong Shan smiled at Fang Ling, saying, “Young man, no need to be nervous, I mean no harm.”
“Chao’er has his own path to walk, and as his father, I can’t help him.”
“Being defeated by you fair and square, he doesn’t feel wronged.”
“Moreover… according to the rules, you should hand over a copy of the Dao technique you created at this Dragon Arena Dao Conference to Great Zhou.”
“But this time, I’ll make an exception for you, you don’t need to do so.”
“Great Zhou wants to befriend you.”
“Being friends with me may not be a good thing,” Fang Ling said seriously.
He hadn’t planned to give Great Zhou a copy anyway; he was ready to slip away.
Rong Shan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
“By the way, there’s something I need to remind you,” he continued.
“It’s best not to leave Great Zhou now, because the people from the Heavenly Dao Sect are waiting for you outside.”
“They say your real name is Fang Ling, and you not only killed their sect’s prodigy Mo Yuan but also took one of their four great treasures, the Universe Mirror.”
“If they weren’t afraid of clashing with Great Zhou, they would have entered the Dragon Arena to capture you long ago.”
“Be careful!”
Fang Ling replied, “Thank you for the reminder!”
Then Rong Shan waved his hand and returned to the palace with his son.
Fang Ling also left, planning to find a place to rest in the city.
But as soon as he landed and walked a few steps, someone suddenly called out to him from behind.
“Young Master Fang, long time no see!”
Bai Ying’s face was slightly red, and she spoke timidly.
