Additionally, with the Demon Cave about to appear, he also lacks the ability to track the opponent.

"My lord, it's said that a significant event happened in the Phoenix Cry Mountain Range."

"Someone obtained the Immortal's inheritance inside the Secret Realm of Phoenix Cry."

"It's precisely because of this event that the demons of the Phoenix Cry Mountain Range were stirred up."

"They want to kill the cultivator who received the Immortal's inheritance."

A Hidden Guard spoke up, explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

Initially, the Demon Cave's plan was not to detonate so soon because the timing was not yet fully ripe.

But they discovered that a cultivator had obtained the Immortal's inheritance.

If that person were to fully grow, it would be an unimaginably great threat to the Demon Race.

Therefore, they were compelled to initiate their plan ahead of schedule, attempting to unleash a magical disaster to kill the cultivator who received the inheritance.

"Who exactly obtained the Immortal's inheritance?"

Void Refining cultivator Sima Li immediately inquired.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator named Ye Linglong."

"It's said this was during a trial held by Fengming City Dao Academy, in which many academy students participated."

"Unexpectedly, this Foundation Establishment cultivator Ye Linglong was favored by destiny and during the trial received the Immortal's recognition, obtaining the Immortal's inheritance, which led to a series of incidents."

A Hidden Guard briefly explained the matter; it was all because of a Foundation Establishment female cultivator named Ye Linglong that such a significant event occurred.

"A Foundation Establishment female cultivator actually received the Immortal's inheritance?"

Upon hearing this, Void Refining cultivator Sima Li was stunned. He also did not expect a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator to receive the Immortal's recognition. To be honest, the existence of Immortal's inheritance in the Phoenix Cry Secret Realm was known to some high-tier cultivators.

Unfortunately, many people attempted to obtain it but all failed.

Originally, he thought no one could obtain the Immortal's inheritance in the short term, but the appearance of this Foundation Establishment cultivator Ye Linglong changed everything; it was truly incredible.

"Where is Ye Linglong, why hasn't she been brought here immediately?"

Void Refining cultivator Sima Li's eyes showed a glimmer, and he immediately spoke out.

There was no doubt that Ye Linglong must be a peerless prodigy; if properly nurtured, she might have a chance to become an Integration or even Mahayana cultivator in the future, and she was a seed of the Immortal.

More importantly, she possessed the Immortal's inheritance and might have treasures left by the Immortal.

This was a huge temptation for a Void Refining cultivator like him.

Although high-tier cultivators like him seizing the opportunity of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would indeed harm his reputation, this was the Immortal's inheritance, and some reputation counted for little.

"She has already been taken away by Lord Dongfang Rui."

A Hidden Guard said helplessly.

This Dongfang Rui is also a Hidden Guard and a Void Refining cultivator, with a status no lower than Sima Li's.

"What? Taken away by that Dongfang Rui guy?"

"How does he have the gall for that?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Li was furious, eager to immediately confront him.

He thought this Dongfang Rui was surely like him, wanting to seize the Immortal's opportunity from the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Because Ye Linglong is not simple, her body bears royal blood."

"She is possibly a princess lost among the commoners."

A Hidden Guard spoke solemnly.

"How could it be?"

Sima Li was stunned, involuntarily shivering, for if she truly was a princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty, then all his schemes would be useless.

Even dukes and princes could not dare to seize a princess's Immortal inheritance unless they sought death.

"Initially, we also had doubts."

"However, our Hidden Guards have means to detect royal blood."

"Additionally, the princess's bloodline is incredibly dense, possibly being direct lineage."

"After knowing this, Lord Dongfang Rui personally took action to bring her back and plans to take her to the imperial capital."

A Hidden Guard explained.

"I see."

Sima Li nodded, having no further thoughts.

He instinctively felt that Ye Linglong carried immense trouble on her shoulders; a princess lost among commoners with royal blood was a terrifying tempest just thinking about it.

Should he get involved, no number of lives would suffice to survive.

He would rather think about how to cope with the upcoming disaster from the Demon Cave.

......

Whoosh!

At this time, White Tiger Mountain.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared near this mountain, and then a figure fell from the black hole, crashing heavily onto the ground and creating a large pit.

This person was Xu Ling, the City Lord of Fengming City.

He used the Great Teleport Talisman to escape from Fengming City.

But before leaving, he had suffered a strike from a Void Refining cultivator, his body severely wounded.

"Damn Sima Li, just wait; I will surely repay this humiliation in the future."

"Who would have thought a Void Refining cultivator would be so terrifying, nearly killing me with just one strike."

"Without the Great Teleport Talisman, I might have truly died."

"It seems the gap between Divinity Transformation and Void Refining is just too great to bridge."

"However, this time I obtained great merit, possibly receiving rewards from the Demon Race to help me advance to Void Refining. Once advanced, my lifespan and strength would soar."

"Wait, why are there other cultivators here?"

Xu Ling clenched his fist, his eyes filled with endless ambition and desire.

But soon, he realized that near this unknown mountain peak, appeared a Divinity Transformation cultivator, who looked like a young man, yet his cultivation was deep and immeasurable.

And the other party immediately discovered him, seemingly waiting for him here.

But he used the Great Teleport Talisman for random teleportation; how could this person know where he would appear?

"Damn, scared me! I thought it was Hidden Guards ambushing here."

"Didn't expect it's just a First-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator."

"Almost scared me to death."

"You damn brat."

But Xu Ling quickly discovered the young cultivator in front of him was only at First-Layer Divinity Transformation, while he himself was at Divinity Transformation Perfection. Even though severely injured, he was not someone this guy could challenge.

Soon, he revealed a ferocious expression, intending to kill this brat immediately.

The person waiting here for a long time was naturally Jiang Fan.

Seeing the sudden appearance of this Divinity Transformation cultivator, he knew his target finally emerged.

Thus, he had no hesitation, and immediately struck ruthlessly.

"Kill!"

Jiang Fan's eyes showed a cold glint, activating his Life Talisman—Celestial-Fighting Axe Talisman.

Instantly, the Celestial-Fighting Axe Talisman suspended in mid-air burst into dazzling golden light, with runes flowing like living creatures, transforming into a gigantic golden axe that covered the sky.

The axe bore ancient patterns from the dawn of chaos, with edges flowing like liquid lava, and the handle seemed tempered from myriad stars, faintly outlining the image of towering ancient divine beings.

Upon its formation, the void seemed crushed by divine power, emitting a dull hum, and a primordial domineering aura swept through the world—carrying the pressure of ancient deities creating the world.

Within the axe, a shadow of an ancient divine being wielding the gigantic axe condensed, its muscular lines bulging, with eyes blazing with fire of destruction and creation, every inch of its muscles containing the power to tear through space-time.

At this moment, Jiang Fan discovered his strength had increased exponentially, as if his body was empowered by ancient divine power, uncertain of to what extent his strength had risen.

Boom!

With an invisible roar, the giant axe charged towards Xu Ling with the force of ten thousand pounds.

As the axe blade sliced through the air, the space tore like fabric, a golden slashing beam stretched across the sky, disrupting the power of heaven and earth, with thunderbolts exploding at the axe wind's edges.

"How is this possible?!"

Xu Ling was utterly terrified, never expecting such fearsome power from a mere First-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator, far beyond his imagination, especially when he was already heavily injured and couldn't exert much strength.

Unexpectedly unprepared, how could he defend?

"It's over, completely over."

Xu Ling was in utter despair, for despite being readied for everything, even facing Void Refining cultivators with confidence in surviving.

Who would expect a prodigy like him to someday meet his end at the hands of an unknown nobody, so disgraceful, so humiliating.

In mere moments, Xu Ling couldn't even utter a scream before being swallowed by ancient divine power, his body and soul reduced to dust in the golden light, leaving not a trace.
