Chapter 482: The Dreamlike Endgame

Today, a group of well-informed Sect Masters of the Tianlan Continent experienced a magical day.

First, a terrifying powerhouse of mysterious strength emerged from nowhere, and immediately after, the Sect Master of the first-rate Zhengyuan Sect was exposed for colluding with the Evil Clan from Beyond.

Just as they were rolling up their sleeves, preparing to let Lan Canghai experience the fury of the Tianlan Continent, they were caught in a dilemma as the latter threatened them with the lives of Tianlan's inhabitants.

Just when they thought they could only swallow their pride, this mysterious powerhouse appeared, showing them a meteor shower that was both stunningly shocking and filled with crisis.

"I... I wonder what the Senior's cultivation level is...?" After choking back a few words, Yang Jiuxiao and the others looked at Xiao Han with awe and asked.

"Cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han answered casually,

"This seat comes from the Da Qian World, and my Spirit Power cultivation is at the Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign level."

Responding to Xiao Han were pairs of large and small eyes filled with confusion, so he had to continue explaining:

"The legendary Ten Directions Realm powerhouses in your Tianlan Continent are equivalent to the Upper Earth Sovereign level of the Da Qian World."

"Only after passing the Great Perfection Earth Sovereign level does one reach the Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign."

"Understand now?"

"Understood, understood!"

"Many thanks to Senior for clearing up our confusion."

The others only paused for a moment before answering hurriedly, fearing that if they were a step slower than the others, they would be remembered for it.

At the same time, they were secretly clicking their tongues in their hearts; no wonder this Senior's strength was so formidable.

The Ten Directions Realm was already a dream-like, unreachable existence for this group of people, let alone the fact that the other party was two realms higher than that.

A casual remark from Xiao Han afterward made their hearts tremble even more,

"You only need to remember that any powerhouse at the Heavenly Sovereign level possesses the power to easily destroy the Tianlan Continent."

They had no doubts about this; the range and precision of Xiao Han's strike that radiated across the entire continent just now had fully demonstrated this point.

What truly made them terrified was the next sentence,

"Oh, right, the strongest among those Outer Realm Evil Clan members on the outskirts of the Tianlan Continent have cultivation levels equivalent to mine."

Huh?!??!

We're done for.

Having just truly felt the methods of a Heavenly Sovereign powerhouse, everyone felt their scalps go numb and lingering fear in their hearts.

Had they, this bunch of weaklings, been jumping around under the noses of such existences for so long?

Was it against such opponents that their predecessors had managed to protect the Tianlan Continent?

A thick sense of crisis shrouded their hearts, and the urge to strive for strength surged like a spring; heaven knows how long the outer barrier could hold, and now, being one percent stronger meant one more point of certainty for survival later.

As for winning in battle, they did not consider it.

Just kidding, even if the restrictions were lifted, there was not the slightest possibility that these old fellows at the peak of the Nine Palaces Realm could break through to the Ten Directions Realm.

"Let me tell you another piece of good news."

Seeing that everyone's reactions seemed quite interesting, Xiao Han smiled with ill intent,

"In at most two months, the defensive barrier on the outskirts of the Tianlan Continent will dissipate, and the obstacles blocking your breakthroughs will also completely disappear."

"How about it, happy?"

It's over!

The background of the crowd seemed to have turned gray-white, and in the end, Huangfu Shenghua could not bear to see it and broke the desperate atmosphere Xiao Han had created,

"Senior, please stop scaring them."

Huh?!

It seems there is a twist!?

Seeing that Xiao Han had no intention of stopping him, Huangfu Shenghua continued to explain with a smile:

"Everyone, there is no need to worry. Most of the Saint Race on the outskirts of the Tianlan Continent have already been dealt with by Senior, including that Heavenly Sovereign; what remains now are nothing but small fry."

While the others breathed a sigh of relief, the cold and aloof Sect Master Qiu Hanxue, who had been silent, suddenly interjected,

"Wait, Senior should have the ability to wipe out those Saint Race members in one fell swoop, why..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han asked in return,

"Why should I wipe them all out?"

The strange words made Qiu Hanxue and the others fall into deep thought; Senior's actions must have a profound meaning. They looked at Huangfu Shenghua, who clearly knew a lot of inside information, but were met only with a helpless look from the latter.

Finally, a flash of realization appeared in Yang Jiuxiao's eyes,

"So that's how it is."

"I wonder what other instructions Senior has? Please allow this old man to return to the sect to prepare a little."

Huh?

What did you understand?

The others looked at Yang Jiuxiao curiously, but were met with a look of disappointment from the latter,

"You are all hundreds or thousands of years old, yet you still treat yourselves like unweaned children?"

His old and decaying body seemed to become infinitely majestic in an instant,

"After being locked in the Tianlan Continent for so many years, does no one want to fight back?"

Fight back?!

The eyes of the crowd lit up.

That's right!

In the past, their strength was insufficient and they could only shrink into a corner, but now, could it be that they couldn't even handle the remnants of a defeated army?

"You have two months to prepare."

Just then, Xiao Han silently interjected, naturally acknowledging the words of Yang Jiuxiao.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior."

Carrying the grand ambition of revenge and settling scores, the group left Mingwang City in high spirits, returning to their sect headquarters to reorganize and prepare for battle.

"Senior, should we not spread that news?"

To the side, Huangfu Shenghua asked with a worried look on his face.

"No need."

Xiao Han shook his head helplessly, "The current Tianlan Continent is still too weak."

The guilt on Huangfu Shenghua's face grew even more intense,

"It is us, the younger generation, who have failed the hopes of our predecessors."

"Enough, do you really think the Mysterious Demon Emperor is so easy to deal with?"

Xiao Han helplessly interrupted Huangfu Shenghua's self-deprecation,

"They are enough to cause headaches even in the Da Qian World."

Facing such an enemy, the only thing Xiao Han could do was to defend against the enemy from the outside, intercepting and killing them directly in the Void Space on the periphery of the Tianlan Continent.

Changing the subject,

"That Sect Master Yang Jiuxiao has quite impressive strength!"

"Is he also a rare body-refining Warrior?"

"That is correct." Huangfu Shenghua nodded,

"Old Yang is the person of the highest seniority in the current Tianlan Continent; his strength is unfathomable, and he has never known defeat."

This is also the reason why, apart from that hotheaded Yan Lie, no one from other factions dares to provoke the former.

Although Yang Jiuxiao's demeanor has always been lukewarm, acting like a happy-go-lucky little old man all day, there has never been a rumor of him being defeated in public.

Even the number one powerhouse of the Tianlan Continent, Liu Qingyang, only secured the position of the number one person in Tianlan because Yang Jiuxiao voluntarily conceded.

"It is a pity; his age is too great, and he has delayed for too long, otherwise becoming a Heavenly Sovereign might not have been out of the question."

Xiao Han's regret caused Huangfu Shenghua's mind to tremble violently; he had never imagined that Yang Jiuxiao could receive such recognition.

One must know that even he, hailed as the greatest genius of the Ming God Palace since their ancestor, only received an evaluation from Xiao Han of having a high probability of advancing to Heavenly Sovereign.

Wisely choosing not to continue suffering blows from Xiao Han's mouth, Huangfu Shenghua curiously turned his gaze toward the ice sculpture with a terrified expression to the side,

"Senior, how should he be dealt with?"

"How to deal with him?"

Xiao Han sneered,

"Keep him, to sacrifice to the flag!"
