Chapter 236: These People Are Left for You to Handle

Within ten years, he will certainly fall.

These words, sonorous and forceful, shook the hearts of many.

"So it turns out that Xiao Chen’s two heaven-defying talents carried such a hidden truth. But whose Immortal Body was it originally, and how was this constitution transplanted?"

"For ordinary cultivators, transplanting a physique is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But for a Saint, or an existence even stronger than a Saint, it’s not a problem at all. As long as the marrow is extracted, the constitution can be transferred."

"In the end, whether it’s the Immortal Body, or other Divine Physiques, Sacred Physiques, or Dao Physiques, they all share the same root—marrow gives rise to blood, and blood nourishes the body. Once the marrow is taken, that physique is completely ruined."

"I see... If that’s the case, then the original owner of the Immortal Body must have—"

"Most likely died. The Xiao Clan truly spared no cost—sacrificing an Immortal Body to forge a peerless genius with two innate talents."

"After today, the reputations of both the Xiao Clan and the Spirit Clan will be sullied. For them to dare do such a thing—how could others who possess a Divine Physique or Sacred Physique not be filled with dread toward them?"

"Indeed. Since they dared to destroy the Immortal Body, then they would certainly dare to secretly cripple a Sacred Physique or Divine Physique, then graft its talent onto one of their juniors."

After Li Xun’s words, the onlookers’ impressions of the Spirit Clan plummeted sharply—especially the several Holy Sons and Holy Maiden present.

Though these prodigies did not possess something as powerful as a Divine Physique, quite a few among them carried Spirit Physiques. For example, the Great Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Empire, Ji Hong, possessed the Metal-Essence Body, whose offensive power was extremely sharp—few could rival him among his peers.

But now, with such a constitution, if the Xiao Clan were to set their sights on him, who could guarantee they wouldn’t dispatch experts to secretly suppress him, extract his marrow, and transfer it to someone else?

With the Xiao Clan’s strength, if they truly did this, then even if the Great Zhou Empire doubled its power, they would still be unable to do anything about it.

After all, although the Great Zhou could rival a Holy Land, it absolutely could not compare with an Imperial Clan, especially one with ancient heritage, deep foundations, and a Quasi-Emperor seated within.

"You little beast, was it you who leaked these matters!?"

Ling Cang flew in from afar, his great hand stretching out to form a heaven-covering palm, blotting out the sky. His target was none other than Xiao Fan, standing behind Li Xun.

In his view, for Li Xun to know these secrets, it must have something to do with Xiao Fan.

Perhaps—it was Xiao Fan himself who told him.

Because of this revelation, both the Spirit Clan and Xiao Clan’s reputations were now utterly ruined. Though not to the point where all cried out to kill them, nearly everyone would guard against them.

From now on, whenever a Divine Physique or Sacred Physique perishes, the first suspects would be none other than these two powers.

"How reckless."

Li Xun raised his hand slightly and spoke in his heart:

’System, claim the Ten-Thousand Mourning Banners!’ 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

As soon as the words fell, seven great banners appeared before him. A drop of his blood flew out and merged into the flagpoles. At once, the seven banners unfurled in the wind, their murderous aura surging.

It was as if an army of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers descended from beyond the Ninth Heaven, enveloping a thousand-mile radius of void.

The seven banners soared up and fell into seven positions, sealing the void and forming an extremely tyrannical killing formation. Anyone within could not help but feel their hearts quake.

"Is this a killing formation formed from Peak-Grade Dao Weapons!?"

Someone cried out in shock.

He glanced at Li Xun’s back, his eyes flashing with awe. Holding such a trump card, Li Xun hadn’t even used it when he fought against the five Divine Palace Realm experts earlier.

Only now did he bring it out—was this killing formation prepared specifically for the Spirit Clan experts?

"The value of these seven banners has likely already surpassed that of ordinary Peak-Grade Dao Weapons. Even an existence at the Divine Palace Realm—once trapped in this formation—would end up with only one fate: to offer up their neck and be slaughtered."

Zheng Huang of the Ten Thousand Transformations Holy Land spoke solemnly.

They, too, were caught within the formation, but their hearts were not worried. After all, this was Li Xun’s formation. Not only did they have no enmity with Li Xun, their relations were fairly good. Li Xun would surely not target them.

It was the members of the Spirit Clan, however, who all felt dread rising in their hearts as soon as they saw this formation.

Whoosh!

The banners flared, and an endless pressure descended. In that instant, everyone’s cultivation dropped significantly. All the Divine Palace Realm experts fell down to roughly the Divine Power Realm.

Those who were already only at the Divine Power Realm, however, were not much affected.

"What a terrifying formation!"

The faces of the Spirit Clan turned pale one by one. Originally, even together, they had no hope of defeating Li Xun. Now, with their strength so drastically reduced, survival was utterly impossible.

"Li Xun—!"

Ling Cang opened his mouth again, wanting to beg for mercy. But before he could finish, a divine radiance shot out, piercing his skull through. His eyes instantly lost all light.

His body, without a master, collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Xiao Fan."

"These people are left for you to handle."

After killing Ling Cang, Li Xun did not continue. Instead, he turned toward a small figure and spoke faintly.

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

Xiao Fan was so excited that his voice shook. He stepped out from the crowd and strode toward the Spirit Clan members. Although his cultivation was only at the Profound Elixir Realm, at this moment he felt no fear facing the Spirit Clan.

He couldn’t fight someone of the Divine Palace Realm—but against those forced down to the Divine Power Realm, it was a completely different story. He could crush them with ease.

"Xiao Chen... Xiao Fan..."

Someone muttered the two names, as if suddenly realizing something crucial. Their expression trembled, disbelief flashing in their eyes:

"Could it be that he is also from the Xiao Clan?"

"But if he is from the Xiao Clan, then why would Ling Cang strike at him earlier?"

"Unless... the Immortal Body that Xiao Chen received originally belonged to this boy?"

One question after another spilled out, yet none received an answer.

What they could see was Xiao Fan unleashing the Lu Wu Divine Technique. Within the killing formation, he transformed into a colossal ancient Lu Wu beast descending upon the world. He rampaged freely, swiftly slaughtering the Spirit Clan members.

The sight of such fearless, unstoppable might left an indelible impression in everyone’s hearts—one they would never forget.

A Profound Elixir Realm cultivator butchering Divine Power Realm experts like slaughtering dogs—this was something no one could believe. They knew full well that these Spirit Clan members were not merely simple Divine Power cultivators. Each had originally possessed the strength of the Life and Death Realm, even some have techniques and skill that still place them at the Divine Palace Realm.

Yet even so, against the boy named Xiao Fan, they could hardly put up resistance.

"I thought Fellow Daoist Li Xun was already unmatched under Heaven... but who would have expected that there would be another equally formidable figure? Just what is the origin of this child?"

A Divine Palace Realm elder stroked his beard and let out an astonished sigh.

Many had long known that a glorious grand era was approaching. But with Li Xun first, and now this boy—some of the older generation could not help but feel as though they had been born in the wrong age.
