This day, the Great Underworld King was invited to promote everywhere, and Yun Fan was the spokesperson for darkness.
Now he is infinitely glorious, because he has become Huan Ye's follower.
The elders of the clan are very supportive of him, so while Huan Ye was smearing Yun Fan, he naturally helped to promote it everywhere.
While smearing Yun Fan, he also had to promote that Huan Ye was the hero of the younger generation, fighting against the darkness.
This made Huan Ye the most popular prodigy on the Pangu Continent, and even attracted many young people who came to admire him.
They all set Huan Ye as their life goal.
On this day, after he had gained a group of fans for Huan Ye, he was about to set off for the next place to promote.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.
The visitor was none other than Yun Fan.
Upon seeing Yun Fan, Huan Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How could it be you?"
No matter what, he never expected that Yun Fan, whom everyone was shouting to beat, would not choose to hide, but would appear here openly.
Yun Fan walked over step by step.
"Great Underworld King, your conduct makes me ashamed!"
"Hmph!"
The Great Underworld King snorted, "You, a spokesperson for darkness, what right do you have to judge me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I told you not to provoke me again, but you have broken the rules, what do you think should be done?"
Facing Yun Fan's questioning.
The Great Underworld King was not afraid at all.
"Everyone should eliminate darkness, if I were you, I would end myself early, otherwise, you will die miserably!"
The Great Underworld King retorted, "Do you think I'm still afraid of you? Don't forget, this is not the Pangu Celestial Domain, but my clan's territory!"
"So, you think you have the confidence to defeat me?"
Facing Yun Fan's questioning, the Great Underworld King said disdainfully, "Although I am not sure I can defeat you, I can have my clan surround and kill you with all their might!"
The next moment, the Great Underworld King sent out a signal. As expected, his clansmen would arrive at the scene soon.
But as expected, something unexpected happened. At this moment, the signal he sent out returned to him intact.
"How is this possible?"
The Great Underworld King looked at everything before him in disbelief.
"Since I dared to come and kill you alone, how could I not be prepared!"
Yun Fan said coldly, "Great Underworld King, make your move! This is your last chance!"
The Great Underworld King was stunned. He never expected that Yun Fan had made more preparations than he had.
For this reason, he immediately said to Yun Fan, "I can promise you that I will no longer promote you. Let me go!"
"What if I don't agree?"
Yun Fan asked coldly.
"If you don't agree, then as long as you kill me, my clan will know of my death as soon as possible. Do you think you can escape?"
The Great Underworld King said confidently.
In his opinion, Yun Fan would definitely hesitate to act.
But he did not expect Yun Fan to say directly, "I'm sorry, I still choose not to agree!"
"You?"
The Great Underworld King did not expect that Yun Fan was not afraid.
The next moment, Yun Fan made a decisive move, and a strike fell from the sky, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"No..."
The Great Underworld King struggled, "If you let me go, I will defect to you!"
However, Yun Fan still ignored him and unleashed all his strength onto the Great Underworld King.
The Great Underworld King, who had long been scared out of his wits, had no chance to resist and was hit by Yun Fan, with only half of his life remaining.
"I didn't expect that I would ultimately be unable to escape your clutches!"
The Great Underworld King said dejectedly.
"He who does too much evil will bring about his own destruction! You don't understand this principle!"
The next moment, Yun Fan sent the Great Underworld King to his death with a palm strike.
To his death, the Great Underworld King never expected that his end would be so tragic.
After Yun Fan dealt with the Great Underworld King, he did not linger, as he knew that the Ice and Snow God King was still to come!
Moreover, the death of the Great Underworld King would soon attract the attention of the Underworld Clan, so he could not stay here for a moment longer.
...
On this day, Yun Fan arrived at the Ice and Snow God King's palace.
Upon seeing the Ice and Snow God King doting on Bing'er, Yun Fan was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that this fellow seemed to have shed his previous gloom.
It seemed that he had achieved a happy ending with Bing'er.
Upon seeing Yun Fan's arrival, the Ice and Snow God King showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
"Bing'er, go down and bring me the fine wine I've been saving!"
The Ice and Snow God King said to Bing'er.
"Mhm mhm!"
Bing'er nodded, still as obedient as ever.
"It seems my arrival does not surprise you!"
Yun Fan sat down opposite the Ice and Snow God King.
The Ice and Snow God King said, "From the moment the Great Underworld King died and vanished, I knew you would come. It was only a matter of time!"
Yun Fan did not expect that the death of the Great Underworld King would spread so quickly, which was beyond his expectations.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "Why did you betray me? You know, I am not darkness, Huan Ye is darkness!"
The Ice and Snow God King said, "Brother Yun, you also know that things are far beyond our imagination. I have also spoken to the elders of my clan about this, and even argued my case, but they called me a liar and threatened me that at this critical moment, I must stand with Huan Ye to fight against darkness together! I never understood why the elders of my clan believed Huan Ye and not me, until they threatened me with Bing'er, so I had no choice but to compromise!"
This was the Ice and Snow God King's answer, which seemed powerless, but he could do nothing.
"Hasn't your conscience been tormented?"
Facing Yun Fan's questioning, the Ice and Snow God King said, "My conscience has always been in agony, you will understand this!"
"So, I have arrived. How will you deal with me next?"
The Ice and Snow God King said, "You saved my life, and I have always felt indebted to you. So, I have been waiting for you, and finally, you have come!"
Then, the Ice and Snow God King put down a sharp blade.
"This is the Ice and Snow Blade. Once it pierces the enemy, the enemy will die instantly. Kill me!"
This scene was beyond Yun Fan's expectation.
Even he did not expect that the Ice and Snow God King would make such a decision.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "You clearly have the advantage of terrain, you could have fought me!"
"There's no need!"
The Ice and Snow God King said, "You know, once my weakness is grasped, I am useless. And my weakness is Bing'er!"
"Now, I only hope that you can kill me, end my suffering, and then leave with Bing'er!"
He said to Yun Fan, "Kill me as atonement. After all, in the Pangu Celestial Domain, you saved me more than once. This is all I owe you!"
Yun Fan could see that the Ice and Snow God King's attitude was very sincere.
For this reason, Yun Fan asked, "I only have one question, which hidden force is in control of all this?"
"Sorry, I don't know!"
The Ice and Snow God King said sincerely, "After all, this is beyond my knowledge and worries. I am not qualified to know such confidential matters!"
As soon as he said this, Yun Fan fully understood.
For this reason, he immediately said to the Ice and Snow God King, "Take care of yourself!"
With that, Yun Fan turned and left.
"You're not going to kill me?"
The Ice and Snow God King looked at Yun Fan in shock. In fact, he had already prepared to die, and Yun Fan would not let him go.
After all, Yun Fan was a very upright man.
But he did not expect Yun Fan to spare him, which was unprecedented.
Yun Fan said, "Because I see my own shadow in you. You have a weakness, and so do I!"
He had witnessed too many cultivators being indifferent, but the Ice and Snow God King, like him, seemed to be a flesh-and-blood being.
Therefore, this time, he did not kill the Ice and Snow God King. If the Ice and Snow God King provoked him again, then he would not be polite.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a formation descended and trapped Yun Fan and the Ice and Snow God King.
The Ice and Snow God King and Yun Fan were both stunned.
Obviously, from the eyes of the Ice and Snow God King, Yun Fan could tell that he was unaware.
"What's going on?"
The Ice and Snow God King's eyes turned cold. This was his killing formation, but he had never thought of activating it against Yun Fan!
Bing'er appeared. She stood outside the formation and said to the Ice and Snow God King, "My lord, you control the formation and kill him!"
"Bing'er, he never thought of killing me, how can I kill him?"
The Ice and Snow God King did not expect Bing'er to make such a decision privately.
Unexpectedly, Bing'er said, "My lord, at this time, there can be no mercy for women. You know, only by killing him can we be together and be accepted by the elders of our clan. Moreover, if you kill him, it will be a great contribution, and you will be noticed by those important figures and become a man of integrity!"
This statement truly surprised the Ice and Snow God King.
Bing'er's transformation, indifferent and heartless, completely exceeded his expectations.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "It seems your weakness has gone bad!"
"Bing'er, is this your intention?"
The Ice and Snow God King looked at Bing'er, and this time, there was more confusion and unfamiliarity in his eyes.
Because he never thought that Bing'er would be like this.
Bing'er said, "Yes, my lord, this is my intention! When I pursued you, I knew that you were destined to become a man of integrity. Now your opportunity has come. As long as you kill him, you will be able to rival Huan Ye, and how dazzling you will be then!"
As soon as she said this, the Ice and Snow God King looked incredulous. He had been with Bing'er for so long, and he never thought that Bing'er, whom he had always loved, would be like this.
For this reason, he immediately asked Bing'er, "Bing'er, if I don't become a man of integrity, will you not like me? You know, my goal is to take you into seclusion!"
"My lord misunderstood. We can still achieve seclusion by killing him. If he doesn't die, he will always be a threat to us!"
Bing'er said quickly.
But from her flickering eyes and unconfident words, the Ice and Snow God King knew that Bing'er was definitely lying.
At this moment, the Ice and Snow God King said, "Bing'er, you have disappointed me too much!"
"It is I who should be disappointed!"
Bing'er said with regret, "My lord, when you should be decisive, you shouldn't be so indecisive!"
"Shut up!"
This was the first time the Ice and Snow God King had been harsh with Bing'er. Before, he was not like this. Although Bing'er was of humble origin, he had protected her with great effort.
Let alone scolding, he wouldn't even say harsh words.
If it weren't for being too disappointed, how could he have scolded the one he loved?
Bing'er froze on the spot. She did not expect that the Ice and Snow God King would scold her like this.
At this moment, the Ice and Snow God King said, "Bing'er, lift the formation and let him go. I will pretend that nothing has happened!"
"What if I don't?"
Bing'er seemed completely unwilling to lift the formation, nor was she moved by the Ice and Snow God King.
The Ice and Snow God King said, "If you don't do as I say, then from now on, we will be strangers!"
He knew that this sentence was very hurtful, but he had no choice!
Bing'er never expected that the Ice and Snow God King would make such a big decision. Was this still the man in her eyes who cherished her above all else?
For this reason, she immediately said, "My lord, I will not lift the formation. However, I want to remind you that Bing'er does not like mediocre men, and prefers heroes like Huan Ye!"
This statement was so ironic.
"Hero?"
Yun Fan sneered, "Do you really think Huan Ye is a hero?"
"I don't want what you think!"
Bing'er said directly, "As long as the world acknowledges him as a hero, then he is definitely a hero! What you and I say doesn't count!"
It could be said that Bing'er at this moment had a sense of utter ruthlessness.
"Enough!"
The Ice and Snow God King immediately retorted, "What do you mean by not lifting the formation?"
His question hit the nail on the head.
Bing'er said, "I am not lifting the formation because you are stubborn. Since you are incapable, then I will kill both of you and take this merit to find young master Huan Ye!"
Yun Fan knew that this woman was beyond saving.
But now, the crisis between him and the Ice and Snow God King had become a problem.
The Ice and Snow God King shed tears. If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have known what kind of person Bing'er really was.
The outcome was not as perfect as he had imagined.
"Hahahaha!"
At this moment, the Ice and Snow God King burst into a string of laughter.
Yun Fan was stunned. Shouldn't this guy have collapsed from the shock?
The Ice and Snow God King laughed wildly, "You are too naive! Do you really think this formation can kill Brother Yun and me? You think too highly of yourself!"
The next moment, as the Ice and Snow God King activated the formation, the formation immediately shattered.
"How is this possible?"
Bing'er looked at the Ice and Snow God King in disbelief.
The Ice and Snow God King said calmly, "Because this formation was built by me, what I say goes!"
"You are too naive!"
Bing'er retreated in fear, but she also knew that self-preservation was the most important thing at this moment.
For this reason, she prepared to regain the Ice and Snow God King's trust.
"My lord, I'm sorry. It was all my momentary confusion that caused such a disaster. You will forgive Bing'er, won't you?"
Looking at Bing'er's innocent eyes, Yun Fan felt disgusted.
The Ice and Snow God King said affectionately, "Of course, I will forgive you, because I know you didn't mean it!"
"I knew it, my lord is the best!"
Bing'er quickly threw herself into his arms, but the next moment, Bing'er's eyes widened, showing a look of despair.
Not for any other reason, but because her body had been pierced by the Ice and Snow Blade at this moment.
"Why?"
Bing'er looked at the Ice and Snow God King in disbelief. All along, she had firmly believed that she could win over the Ice and Snow God King.
But she did not expect the Ice and Snow God King to give her such a perfect and forceful slap in the face.
The Ice and Snow God King said coldly, "Because you disgust me, you bitch!"
Upon hearing this, Bing'er revealed a look of regret and despair.
"You should know that your favor, your unique love, and your current status were all given to you by me, not by yourself, because you are not worthy!"
The Ice and Snow God King said fiercely, "Now it's time for me to take back your honor!"
With another wave of power from him, Bing'er's soul was shattered.
To her death, she never expected that such a cruel reality awaited her.
At this moment, Yun Fan said to the Ice and Snow God King, "Sometimes, it takes a long time to see a person clearly, but once you see them clearly, you will awaken!"
"Take care!"
Yun Fan turned and left.
But the moment he turned, Yun Fan's expression changed. He quickly looked back and found that the Ice and Snow God King had already stabbed the Ice and Snow Blade into his body.
"Why?"
No matter what, Yun Fan did not expect that the Ice and Snow God King would commit suicide at this moment.
The Ice and Snow God King said, "There is no why! Because this is what I owe you. One life is not enough to repay it, but this is all I can do!"
"Why did you have to do this!"
Yun Fan said, "I never blamed you!"
"I know you don't blame me, but I can't get over it. Huan Ye is not a hero, you are the hero!"
Before he died, the Ice and Snow God King spoke his heart.
But Yun Fan shook his head and said, "Being a hero is too tiring. I don't want to be a hero anymore!"
"Brother Yun, I support your choice. If there is an afterlife, I will never be so foolish again!"
With that, the Ice and Snow God King closed his eyes and ended his painful life.
"Sigh!"
Yun Fan sighed. No matter what, he did not expect that it would end like this.
This ending made him feel extremely surprised.
The Ice and Snow God King had wronged him, but he did not blame the Ice and Snow God King. Moreover, the Ice and Snow God King probably could not get over it himself.
After all, the Ice and Snow God King was betrayed so tragically by the woman he loved. From that moment on, perhaps the Ice and Snow God King had no intention of living.
At this moment, Yun Fan turned and left. He had done what he needed to do, so he had no regrets. As for the journey, it had just begun.
...
As he left the Ice and Snow Divine Realm, Yun Fan suddenly felt a powerful force sweep over him.
"Hmm?"
Yun Fan showed a puzzled expression and realized that Huan Ye had arrived.
"Huan Ye!"
Yun Fan knew that his journey this time was very dangerous, but he did not expect Huan Ye to arrive at this time.
Huan Ye sneered, "We meet again!"
"I never understood how you, the spokesperson for darkness, became a hero!"
Yun Fan said this out of the blue.
Huan Ye said, "You don't need to understand, because this is human nature. My becoming a hero is also the will of the people! I know your potential is extraordinary, but I will never let you become the First God again!"
"It seems you already know my identity!"
Yun Fan said calmly.
"That's right!"
Huan Ye sneered, "In the previous era, it was precisely because of you that the plan for the rise of darkness was stalled. So in this era, it is natural for me to deal with you!"
"I'm afraid you don't have the strength!"
Yun Fan said coldly, "Don't forget, I can restrain you!"
"Hahahaha!"
Huan Ye laughed wildly, "The reason you can restrain me is nothing more than the jade plate, but now the power of the jade plate has dissipated, how can you restrain me!"
"So, is this the reason you came alone?"
"It's enough to deal with you alone, there's no need to make a big fuss!"
The next moment, Huan Ye attacked directly. The swift power was truly shocking.
Obviously, compared to when they were in the Pangu Celestial Domain, Huan Ye's strength had improved again.
Bang!
With one punch, he sent Yun Fan flying back a hundred thousand miles.
Then, he attacked again. Obviously, he did not intend to give Yun Fan any chance to breathe.
Yun Fan was deeply moved.
However, this time, he suppressed his fear and prepared to go head-to-head with Huan Ye.
The destructive power of their moves was astonishing. After all, their strength was infinitely close to that of the top experts.
Therefore, their battles, although seemingly without killing moves, had unimaginable destructive power.
In the blink of an eye, their battle exceeded a hundred moves.
Although Yun Fan was at a disadvantage, he had not been defeated.
Huan Ye had the upper hand but had not won.
This shocked Huan Ye, "Clearly the same strength, last time I could easily defeat you and make you despair, why are you so unbelievable this time?"
Yun Fan said, "Huan Ye, last time it was because my mindset was problematic. This time, if you want to win, it will not be so easy!"
"Is that so?"
Huan Ye covered himself with all his dark power, and his entire being became incredibly powerful.
Yun Fan also empowered himself with the Battle Heaven power. The two sides formed a fifty-fifty situation. Even Huan Ye could not defeat him.
Under such powerful force, the strength of both sides actually reached a stalemate.
"Damn it!"
Huan Ye did not expect that Yun Fan, with a stable mind, would be so powerful.
Therefore, at this moment, the battle between the two sides was extremely brutal. Huan Ye pierced Yun Fan with dark power, and Yun Fan counterattacked, piercing Huan Ye's head.
This situation was brutal, but both sides were aiming to kill each other at this moment.
Therefore, their combat power would definitely not stop there.
After hundreds of rounds of fighting, both sides suffered serious injuries.
"It seems you are nothing more than this!"
Yun Fan taunted, "Before, it was because my inner fear made me think you were invincible!"
"So what?"
Huan Ye said disdainfully, "You don't understand darkness, but I can tell you that darkness is definitely a suffocating existence!"
Thus, the battle between the two sides began again.
Even though he was dragging his injured body, Yun Fan did not retreat.
Huan Ye had a bad premonition, because he knew that if they continued to fight like this, even if he could kill Yun Fan, he probably wouldn't survive.
Obviously, he was an ambitious man and would not choose to die with Yun Fan.
For this reason, when he repelled Yun Fan, he reassembled the darkness and enveloped all of it.
This scene was a nightmare once again.
Huan Ye laughed triumphantly, "Kid, even if I can't kill you, it's a pity that I can summon darkness at any time. As long as I have the enhancement of darkness, no matter how serious my injuries are, I can recover in a short time. In this regard, you can never compare!"
Undoubtedly, Huan Ye was very proud at this moment, because he knew that this was the best way to deal with Yun Fan.
It had to be said that Huan Ye was not inherently more powerful than Yun Fan. The reason he was powerful was that he could summon darkness to fight for him at any time.
This was equivalent to cheating.
Yun Fan also understood the reason.
"You summoned so much darkness, why didn't any of the great powers of the Pangu Continent react?"
Yun Fan was very indignant.
He knew that such a lineup would be sensed even by those reclusive peerless experts.
But not a single one came, which made Yun Fan very disappointed. If those ancient predecessors who had saved the Pangu Continent were to see this, what would they think?
It seemed that as Huan Ye said, Yun Fan could never overcome human nature.
Huan Ye said, "Don't worry! Even if you die, no one will come!"
This was Huan Ye's confidence. Now, he could truly do whatever he pleased.
"I understand!"
Yun Fan said, "It's no wonder the Pangu Continent is being swept by your darkness, it's not anyone else's fault!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Huan Ye said, "No need to delay any longer, because you are destined to die!"
"Then I don't think so!"
The next moment, Yun Fan disappeared from his original spot, vanishing amidst the engulfing darkness.
"How is this possible?"
Huan Ye was furious. He did not expect Yun Fan to have prepared in advance. After all, he had appeared unexpectedly!
But he did not expect Yun Fan to be so well-prepared. It was simply unbelievable.
In fact, Yun Fan's reason for recklessly acting arrogantly in the central area of the Pangu Continent and attracting Huan Ye was to prove that Huan Ye was darkness, not him.
But the result was the opposite of what he had predicted, which was why Yun Fan was disappointed.
He had long prepared the teleportation, but he had exposed Huan Ye's true face, yet no one chose to see it.
This was perhaps the ugliest side of human nature.
It was precisely because of this incident that Yun Fan firmly believed that one should never be a hero, because heroes often died miserably and were not recognized.
Like the Chunyang Heavenly Venerate and Lingwu Heavenly Venerate, those peerless experts who saved the world, but in the end, who remembered them?
Probably none of them.
...
Temple of War.
After knowing about Yun Fan's experience, the Vast Heaven War God angrily said, "What kind of people are these? They are too detestable. Are they really going to turn a blind eye and let darkness rise?"
Youlan, who was beside him, said, "In order to break through the Upper Three Realms, they have tacitly agreed to the existence of darkness. Perhaps in their eyes, as long as they break through the Upper Three Realms, they can suppress the darkness, but they don't know that they are digging their own graves!"
"Let's go back! Let's not care about these things anymore!"
Yun Fan said, "Darkness is about to descend, no one can escape. No wonder Ning Tianxue did not participate in the competition for the Upper Three Realms. It turns out she had seen through all this long ago!"
"Then let's go!"
The Vast Heaven War God said with disdain, "I don't want to associate with these people!"
In the Vast Heaven War God's opinion, associating with these people was simply a disgrace to him.
Several women were present, preparing to leave with Yun Fan, when unexpectedly, Qin Ying also arrived.
Upon seeing Qin Ying, Yun Fan was somewhat surprised, as Qin Ying had no intention of leaving before.
Of course, he had not invited her, because to break through the Upper Three Realms, this might be the only opportunity, and Qin Ying would never give it up.
Therefore, Yun Fan did not invite Qin Ying, but left with Qin Wuyang and Ya Fei.
"If I don't propose it myself, aren't you going to invite me?"
Qin Ying looked at Yun Fan angrily.
Yun Fan said awkwardly, "Everyone has their own aspirations, how can I force it!"
"Hmph!"
Qin Ying snorted, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm leaving too!"
"Okay!"
Yun Fan said, "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
"I didn't expect that even someone as strong as you would be taken down by my man!"
Youlan clearly knew Qin Ying, but her strength was not on the same level as Qin Ying.
"You're wrong!"
Qin Ying said domineeringly, "He didn't take me down, I took him down. I hope you can distinguish between the main and secondary before you speak next time!"
As soon as she said this, Qin Wuyang's heart was filled with thunder. She finally understood why her aunt had always prevented her from being with Yun Fan.
She had even found many excuses, and it turned out that Qin Ying had already taken Yun Fan down. This made Qin Wuyang's heart despair.
Why? Why did even Qin Ying have to snatch the person she liked? How could she be convinced?
Therefore, at this moment, Qin Wuyang decided in her heart that she must take Yun Fan down, and even Qin Ying would not be able to stop her.
Then, the group embarked on their journey back to the final epoch.
Upon returning to the final epoch, Yun Fan discovered that Da Xu Tian had arrived in the final epoch a long time ago.
"Master, I've collected a lot of cultivation resources again!"
Da Xu Tian said cautiously, but in his heart, he sighed with emotion. When he first met Yun Fan, Yun Fan was not even in the Middle Three Heavens. He never expected that upon meeting him again, Yun Fan would be about to reach the peak of the Middle Three Heavens.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "There's no need. From today onwards, I'll give you your freedom. You can go wherever you want!"
This statement surprised Da Xu Tian, but he quickly said, "From now on, I will serve Master and will not go anywhere!"
"Have you really decided?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
"This old servant has decided!"
Da Xu Tian said firmly.
Yun Fan nodded, acknowledging Da Xu Tian. Of course, at this critical moment, Yun Fan knew that the final epoch alone could not resist the darkness. Therefore, he planned to restart the formation of the First God to isolate the final epoch from the outside world.
After all, the era of darkness had arrived.
