As Yun Fan arrived in another domain of Tianming City, he alerted the City Lord. The moment Yun Fan appeared, the City Lord sensed his presence and came to meet him.
"I once heard that a foolish pig from the Piglet World caused a stir in Tianming City. Could you be that piglet!" At this moment, Tianming Overlord looked at Yun Fan playfully, clearly not yet aware of Yun Fan's power. Therefore, he saw Yun Fan merely as prey. After all, in their eyes, the area below Tianming City was a slaughterhouse, and all living beings were just piglets they raised. As long as their master needed them, they could slaughter them at any time. However, countless eras ago, the four of them had already grown powerful. They had once fought their master, and after that battle, their master no longer interfered with them much. It could be said that they were the ones in control of the so-called slaughterhouse, continuously slaughtering to gain absolute power. It was only after the three clones sent out by the Tianming Goddess met with misfortune that they became more restrained, but now, in this era, it was time for them to act. Therefore, Yun Fan's arrival at this moment filled him with interest, and it seemed like a harvest could be resumed soon.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "You think you are high above, ruling everything, but you don't realize that the prey in your eyes has become something you can no longer reach, like me!"
"Oh really?" He smiled playfully at Yun Fan, "In my eyes, an ant is still an ant. No matter how strong it becomes, nothing will change!"
"Kill him!" It was clear that the Master of Tianming was very angry with this former subordinate. She had nurtured the four of them, and before she could reap the rewards, these four dared to challenge her. If it weren't for her being at her weakest, she wouldn't have retreated. Now, Yun Fan was her tool for revenge.
"No problem, but his power must be mine!" Although he had no say, it didn't mean Yun Fan couldn't make demands. At this moment, the Master of Tianming said to Yun Fan, "No problem, as long as you can kill him!"
"Killing him will be difficult, but for me, it's a sure thing!"
At this very instant, Yun Fan decisively struck, charging towards Tianming Overlord.
"Interesting, the prey is initiating the attack!" With that said, Tianming Overlord charged directly at Yun Fan. The two peerless powerhouses unleashed a world-shattering battle at this moment. However, after just the first move, Tianming Overlord gasped.
*Bang!*
After this first move, Tianming Overlord was like a kite with a broken string, sent flying backward.
"How is this possible?" He looked at Yun Fan in shock. He had thought Yun Fan was merely an ant, but unexpectedly, Yun Fan's strength was so unfathomable. Yun Fan said, "Tianming Overlord, I told you that you can't reach me now, and I wasn't joking. Are you ready to die?"
"Hmph!" Tianming Overlord snorted coldly, "I have transcended destiny, I am immortal and indestructible. Do you think you are worthy of killing me?"
"That was in the past. In my hands, your so-called immortality is a joke!"
At this moment, Yun Fan attacked again, combining the power of Zhan Tian and the power of Tianming, engaging in a final battle with Tianming Overlord. Tianming Overlord finally regained his senses and realized that Yun Fan was indeed someone he could not reach. Even though his strength surpassed that of the Tianming Goddess, with the power of Zhan Tian, which was not weaker than the power of Tianming, helping him, Yun Fan was like a fish in water, completely suppressing Tianming Overlord.
Knowing Yun Fan's boundless potential and that he had no chance of winning, Tianming Overlord decisively activated the formation. Countless rules of destiny descended upon Yun Fan. Because he had sufficient experience dealing with the Tianming Goddess, Yun Fan was not afraid. He would accept whatever came his way. Such terrifying means truly shocked Tianming Overlord. He had never expected Yun Fan to be so monstrous. When the two engaged in close combat, every move Yun Fan made struck Tianming Overlord's origin of destiny. Tianming Overlord was in agony. He was truly beaten to the point of doubting his existence. At this time, he had only two paths: the first was to seek help. However, for his plea for help, the others would not come to his aid, as they were no longer united. Therefore, the only path he could take was the second: to escape.
Unfortunately, just as he intended to escape, he was surrounded and sealed by endless power of destiny. Although he also wielded the power of destiny, in front of the Master of Tianming, who created the power of destiny, the power of destiny he controlled was merely a drop in the ocean.
"What?" Tianming Overlord showed a look of horror. For countless ages, he had never experienced such fear. This time, he was truly terrified to his core.
Just then, a figure emerged from Yun Fan's body. That's right, it was the Master of Tianming. To be precise, it was only a divine sense, but Tianming Overlord recognized her identity at a glance.
"Mas... Master!" Tianming Overlord was truly startled. He hadn't expected his former master to appear at this moment. He mistakenly believed that Yun Fan's rapid rise was entirely due to the Master of Tianming finding a new spokesperson. In reality, Yun Fan's rise had nothing to do with the Master of Tianming. At this moment, the Master of Tianming said to Tianming Overlord, "As my dog, you dare to betray your master. Did you really think I couldn't deal with you?"
"I understand!" Tianming Overlord quickly said, "Master, it wasn't entirely my fault back then. I was coerced by those three, but I never intended to betray you!" This was his sophistry. However, in the eyes of the Master of Tianming, his sophistry was disgusting. At this moment, the Master of Tianming said to him, "Words are futile. My first dog, your master, was simply disobedient, and you hate me a hundred times more than he did. Did you think I would let you go? I will settle with all of you!"
"Yun Fan, it's your turn to perform!" As it was just a divine sense, the Master of Tianming did not intend to exhaust herself, as Yun Fan alone was enough to handle it! Upon hearing this, Yun Fan immediately said to Tianming Overlord, "I can only say that your fate is not good enough, to have encountered me!"
"Do you want to solve it yourself, or should I help you?" As soon as these words were spoken, Tianming Overlord gasped. Clearly, they had not given themselves a chance to beg for mercy. Therefore, he immediately said, "You forced me. Even if I am no match for you, you won't be able to kill me!"
"Oh really?" Yun Fan stepped forward and condensed the power of Zhan Tian. This time, he delivered a killing blow. What a joke. From the moment Tianming Overlord regarded his homeland as a slaughterhouse, his death was inevitable. Such a person deserved to be killed a hundred times over. Therefore, with the full power of Zhan Tian unleashed, Tianming Overlord could not withstand Yun Fan's attack.
"Today you settle with us for her, and tomorrow, you will be settled by her!" Tianming Overlord roared at Yun Fan unwillingly. He had never imagined that in the same realm, he would be pushed to such despair. Yun Fan said, "If that's the case, I won't regret it either, because what I hate the most are you disgusting people who act high and mighty, and treat my homeland as mere leeks! Today, I won't let you go no matter what!"
After that, he engaged in close combat with Tianming Overlord, even shattering Tianming Overlord's origin. His power continuously flowed into Yun Fan's body. Because the Master of Tianming had sealed the area, he didn't even have the chance to self-destruct. As his power was drained by Yun Fan, Tianming Overlord's spirit dimmed. He never expected that even after transcending destiny, his life and death were still under the control of others. Despair was inevitable. However, despair was useless now, as he would soon die.
At this moment, the Master of Tianming walked towards him. "When you dared to backstab me, did you ever think of this day?" Upon hearing this, Tianming Overlord quickly pleaded, "We worked like oxen and horses for you. Don't you even have a chance to spare me?" Even at this point, Tianming Overlord still hoped the Master of Tianming would spare him. In Yun Fan's opinion, this was extremely foolish. Let alone someone as cold-blooded and heartless as the Master of Tianming, even if he were in her shoes, he would not spare such a despicable person.
"You have no chance. I could elevate you, and I can also utterly destroy you!" With that said, the Master of Tianming shattered Tianming Overlord, who was already powerless, with a single palm strike. Although Tianming Overlord had long anticipated this day, he never expected it to come so quickly. After his death, the Master of Tianming said, "Next target!" It was clear that she did not want to give Yun Fan any respite. Since two of them had been dealt with, all she had to do was eliminate the remaining two city lords, and her worries would only be Yun Fan. By then, she would have plenty of ways to kill Yun Fan, as Yun Fan currently had no say in front of her.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "I have just absorbed his power. The next two city lords will definitely team up. I need to refine Tianming Overlord's power to fight them both, otherwise, it's impossible!" Of course, this was Yun Fan's lie. In reality, fighting them both was not a problem for him. However, he could not continue to be controlled by the Master of Tianming. Therefore, at this moment, he had to stall for time, otherwise, after the four city lords were eliminated, it would be his turn to suffer. The Master of Tianming was very angry, not expecting Yun Fan to not attack at this moment. It seemed that her time to destroy these four traitors would be extended.
"Aren't you afraid I'll deal with you?" the Master of Tianming threatened coldly. Yun Fan shook his head, "Afraid, of course, I'm afraid, but what can I do? I'm just being cautious!"
"Hmph!" The Master of Tianming snorted coldly, "I'll give you a thousand years. Is that enough?"
"Although it might not be enough, I have no other choice, do I?" This time, Yun Fan did not provoke the Master of Tianming and chose to compromise. A thousand years was too short for a powerful figure like him. It was almost the blink of an eye. But for now, he really had no room to bargain, and if he asked for more time, she might not accept it.
After their objectives aligned, the Master of Tianming fell into a slumber within Yun Fan. Yun Fan then began his plan. His plan was simple: to use this time to refine power and replace the power of Tianming with the power of Zhan Tian. Only with the power of Zhan Tian remaining could the Master of Tianming not control him. He wanted to kill the remaining two city lords, and he also wanted to kill the Master of Tianming. If he continued to be led by the Master of Tianming, he would be very passive. He did not want to remain passive any longer. Therefore, at this moment, he had to make a change.
Thus, it took five hundred years for Yun Fan to diligently refine. Finally, he refined all the power. But this was not enough. Because the subsequent power conversion seemed more challenging, five hundred years might not be enough. However, he had no choice and could only take a gamble. At this moment, Yun Fan decisively acted, converting the power of Tianming into the power of Zhan Tian. After five hundred years had passed, Yun Fan successfully converted it. From then on, there was no longer any power of Tianming within him, only the power of Zhan Tian. What supported his invincibility in the same realm was not the power of Tianming, but the power of Zhan Tian that had always accompanied him. One could imagine how powerful the power of Zhan Tian was. From the beginning of his cultivation until now, his continuous victories were all thanks to the power of Zhan Tian. He never expected that at the pinnacle of cultivation, the power of Zhan Tian could also have an unexpected effect, even changing the entire situation. At this moment, it was impossible for Yun Fan not to be grateful to the power of Zhan Tian.
At this time, the Master of Tianming had awakened. "The time we agreed upon has come. This time, I advise you not to play tricks!" the Master of Tianming warned Yun Fan coldly. However, Yun Fan had become even more arrogant than before. "You might have misunderstood. I am not your dog, nor am I anyone related to you. I have no obligation to listen to you. I have decided that starting today, I will no longer listen to you!"
"What did you say?" The Master of Tianming looked at Yun Fan coldly. In her eyes, Yun Fan was clearly asking for a beating. "Is what I said not clear enough? Starting today, you cannot control me, nor can you command me, otherwise, I will kill you too!"
The Master of Tianming was truly infuriated by Yun Fan. She hadn't expected that after only a thousand years, Yun Fan would dare to disobey her. Therefore, at this moment, no matter what, she had to teach Yun Fan a lesson, to let him know what it meant to be a dog. So, she immediately unleashed the most terrifying power of annihilation from the power of Tianming. Unexpectedly, her power of annihilation dissipated as soon as it reached Yun Fan's origin. Yun Fan now seemed to be beyond her control.
"How is this possible?" The Master of Tianming also did not expect such a sudden change. "You still want to control me? Dream on!" With a strike of Zhan Tian power from Yun Fan, the Master of Tianming was directly blasted out of his body. The Master of Tianming looked at Yun Fan in shock.
"Why are you no longer under my control?" she asked Yun Fan with an expression of disbelief. Yun Fan said disdainfully, "The reason you could control me was nothing more than relying on the power of Tianming. But I want to say that I don't need the power of Tianming at all. I only need the purest power of Zhan Tian!"
"So you converted the power of Tianming into your own original power in such a short time?"
"Clever!" Yun Fan laughed. "That's exactly right. Therefore, you can't control me now, you old hag. Now it's my turn to take revenge on you!" The Master of Tianming's eyes turned cold. Since ancient times, no one had dared to insult her like this, not even her betrayers. They all had to call her Master. She never expected Yun Fan to dare to insult her so much. She originally wanted to control Yun Fan and then torture him to death, but when she realized she had lost control of Yun Fan, the Master of Tianming immediately calmed down.
"Don't forget, you and I have a bet. Are you not going to honor it?" Faced with the Master of Tianming's pressure, Yun Fan directly said, "I have always honored the bet, but you broke the rules first, so you can't blame me!"
"You..." Even the Master of Tianming did not expect that she would shoot herself in the foot. Therefore, she warned Yun Fan, "I advise you not to have any other intentions. Otherwise, even without the power of Tianming, I can still deal with you!"
"Whatever. I don't care!" Yun Fan said fearlessly.
"Hmph!" The Master of Tianming snorted coldly, "In that case, I can only declare the bet null and void!" With that, she prepared to leave. But Yun Fan blocked her path.
"What do you want?" The Master of Tianming's eyes turned cold. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so bold. Yun Fan said, "After being bullied by you for so long, it's my turn to bully you!"
"What do you want to do?" The Master of Tianming was ready to fight at any moment. However, Yun Fan's actions were even faster. Knowing the Master of Tianming's weakness, he subdued her with a single move. The Master of Tianming was furious, not knowing how Yun Fan would torment her next.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Although the bet is void, the stakes are not. Now it's time for you to pay the price!"
"You dare?" The Master of Tianming never expected that Yun Fan would dare to desecrate her. However, Yun Fan ignored her threat at this moment and decisively took her down. After it was done, Yun Fan said triumphantly, "Remember, don't provoke me, or you will regret it!"
"I'll kill you!" The Master of Tianming wanted to fight Yun Fan to the death, but Yun Fan was not afraid at all. Yun Fan said, "I advise you to save your energy! As you are now, you are no match for me!"
"Unless your main body is present, perhaps you could fight me!"
"When my main body exits seclusion, that will be the day you are destroyed!" The Master of Tianming was almost in tears. She never expected Yun Fan to be so decisive in subduing her and showing no remorse afterward.
"We'll talk about it then! Anyway, you're pathetic enough. I won't kill you. Disappear yourself!" The Master of Tianming hated Yun Fan to the bone, but she was powerless against him. She could only leave with anger and regret.
Although the Master of Tianming had disappeared, Yun Fan's mission was not yet complete. Whether it was for himself, the world behind him, or the promise he made to Changfeng Tianjun, he had to kill the remaining two Tianming City Lords. Subsequently, Yun Fan set off. When he arrived at Tianming Evil King's place, he discovered that another person was also there. It was Tianming Changge. At this moment, the two Tianming City Lords looked at Yun Fan together.
"Kid, after you killed Tianming Overlord, we knew you would come, so we have been waiting for you!" They said to Yun Fan with disdainful smiles. Originally, they had already fallen apart, but upon learning of Yun Fan's strength, they had decisively united again. Their goal was to kill Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "Since you knew I was coming, have you prepared yourselves to die?" These words enraged the two of them.
"Kid, who do you think you are? Although we don't know if you were sent by that person to bring retribution and killed Tianming Overlord with special means, you won't survive against the two of us!"
"Then you can try and see who dies first!" Yun Fan sneered. After transcending destiny, he had achieved invincibility in the same realm. Now, having discarded the power of Tianming and only possessing the power of Zhan Tian, his strength had further increased. Even fighting two opponents at once, he could handle it with ease. This was Yun Fan's strength.
"What if you add me?" At this moment, a figure appeared. It was none other than the Tianming Goddess. Her sudden appearance surprised Yun Fan to some extent. Therefore, Yun Fan immediately said, "I let you live last time. If I were you, I wouldn't have come. Hiding somewhere would be the most important thing, because you are about to be eliminated between me and the Master of Tianming!"
"Hmph!" The Tianming Goddess snorted coldly, "You have become her messenger, haven't you?"
"Of course not!" Yun Fan refused to admit it. "My purpose in bringing retribution to you is on behalf of the City of Time and Space and the myriad planes under the City of Time and Space. It has nothing to do with the Master of Tianming. After I bring retribution to you, I will go and bring retribution to the Master of Tianming, so my interests are not tied to the Master of Tianming!"
"Then why have you grown so fast? Without the help of the Master of Tianming, do you think we would believe it?" Clearly, at this moment, the Tianming Goddess did not believe it. The two of them also did not believe it.
"Have you ever heard of Changfeng Tianjun?" As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them were moved, because this was a name from the past, even a very distant one. However, they had never given up, because, counting from then, they were still disciples of Changfeng Tianjun. Changfeng Tianjun had disobeyed the Master of Tianming's orders. To protect themselves, they had secretly sent Changfeng Tianjun to the Tianming Prison. They never expected Yun Fan to bring this up again now.
"Originally, I relied on myself, but it cannot be denied that during this period, Changfeng Tianjun's help was immense. I will naturally not forget his kindness, so I will take his place and slaughter all of you, one by one. Tianming Overlord is the best example!" Upon hearing this, all three of them were filled with anger. They never expected Yun Fan to be so arrogant in his actions.
"You cannot avenge him, because you will die in our hands today!" Tianming Evil King said coldly to Yun Fan. He did not believe that Yun Fan could really kill them. At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Tianming Overlord said the same thing before, but he died miserably!"
"Now it's your turn!" Yun Fan took a step forward, and the real battle was about to begin.
"I withdraw!" The Tianming Goddess said directly!
"What?" Tianming Evil King and Tianming Changge were both shocked that the Tianming Goddess had directly chosen to withdraw. They didn't even know her motive for withdrawing. Of course, Yun Fan also didn't know. Had the Tianming Goddess's conscience awakened?
At this moment, the Tianming Goddess said to Yun Fan, "In the past, I should have died by your hand, but you showed mercy and spared my life. Therefore, I have decided to withdraw. If you are ever in a life-or-death situation, I will save you once to repay your kindness to me!"
"You can withdraw, because even without you, we can still kill him. But if you dare to save him before he perishes, then we will absolutely not let you go. At that time, you will be an enemy to us!" The two of them directly put pressure on the Tianming Goddess. But the Tianming Goddess said, "This is my promise to him. I will do as I say!"
"Foolish, have you forgotten that we are on the same side?" At this moment, the two looked at the Tianming Goddess furiously. It seemed that their argument would not end anytime soon.
"Three of you, wait a moment!" Yun Fan said, "We haven't even started fighting yet, and you're already discussing how to deal with me. I think this is impolite!"
"Let me say a fair word!" "First, I don't need you to save me! Second, let alone just the two of them, even if you were added, three against one, you are still no match for me!" Yun Fan said calmly, "I've said my piece. Do you have any comments?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them were enraged. Tianming Evil King and Tianming Changge felt insulted. As for the Tianming Goddess, she was angry. She had kindly wanted to save Yun Fan, but he didn't seem to appreciate it at all. What else could she say! It could be said that Yun Fan had offended all three of them by himself. Of course, Yun Fan did not indulge the Tianming Goddess at this moment, but said, "Unrelated people, step aside. If I injure you by accident, I won't be responsible!"
"You..." The Tianming Goddess stamped her foot in anger, but she had said she wouldn't interfere, and she would do as she said. Therefore, she immediately retreated to the side. She wanted to see how Yun Fan would be defeated by the two of them next. The two of them had no reservations and did not choose to fight Yun Fan one-on-one. Instead, they attacked together, unleashing their peak power. Their goal was simple: to kill Yun Fan together.
As two supreme forces descended, the Tianming Goddess was greatly shocked. She never expected that their combined strength would be so powerful. If she were in their combined attack, she could at most withstand three moves. After three moves, no matter how strong she was, she could not reverse the situation. As for Yun Fan, he was definitely stronger than her. But she did not believe that Yun Fan could withstand the killing blow of their combined attack.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Yun Fan struck.
*Bang!*
As the three forces clashed, both of them were sent reeling backward by Yun Fan. However, Yun Fan stood his ground. The difference was obvious.
"How is this possible?" The two were shocked by Yun Fan's strength. How had he become so strong?
"That's not right! He doesn't have the power of Tianming, so he is not under the control of Tianming!" While the Tianming Goddess was shocked by Yun Fan's invincible strength, she was also the first to discover Yun Fan's characteristic: his power was very clean and straightforward. There was no trace of the power of Tianming, making him a truly special individual.
"Two, do you still want to attempt a kill on me?" Yun Fan asked mockingly. Although both of them were powerhouses who had transcended destiny, they were not enough in front of him.
"So strong!" At this moment, even the two of them had to praise Yun Fan's strength.
"It seems challenging the Master of Tianming is not wishful thinking!" This was the Tianming Goddess's evaluation of Yun Fan. The two looked at Yun Fan in exasperation. Even their combined strength did not gain the upper hand. The subsequent battle situation was imaginable.
"Junior Sister, help us kill him together, otherwise, if we are defeated, then in the future, whether the Master of Tianming deals with you or he deals with you, you will have no way to protect yourself!" This was the threat the two posed to the Tianming Goddess. But the Tianming Goddess said, "No need to say more, I will not intervene!" First, she could be sure that these traitors of the Master of Tianming had indeed declined. Second, Yun Fan would not kill her, so she only needed to deal with the Master of Tianming. Moreover, before the Master of Tianming found her, she would deal with Yun Fan first. Rather than joining forces and still not being sure of victory, it was better to stand on the same side as Yun Fan to have a glimmer of hope.
"Two Senior Brothers, since it has come to this, why don't you stop fighting him and surrender to him?" Clearly, as soon as these words were spoken, the two were enraged. They were both powerhouses who had transcended destiny. To surrender to Yun Fan, what a joke. How could they possibly do that? Of course, Yun Fan's words were even more direct and blunt.
"Don't dream your naive dreams. I am here to kill you, not to accept your surrender or submission. You are not worthy of submitting to me. Your best outcome is to die in my hands!" These words were extremely domineering, and of course, they also proved Yun Fan's resolve. The two were furious. They were both beings who had transcended destiny. No matter who they surrendered to, they would be a great asset. They never expected that in Yun Fan's words, they were so worthless, especially since this was only the first round of engagement. Who would win was still unknown.
"Today, I will surely make you, this arrogant brat, regret it for life!" The next moment, the two attacked together again, even unleashing their most powerful formation.
"Good! Come on!" Yun Fan sneered, because such a challenge was more interesting. No, this couldn't be called a challenge. Specifically, this was a one-sided crushing.
