Xiao Fan looked up at the familiar scenery in the distance, a cruel smile appearing on his face.
"Wind and Thunder Pavilion, I've arrived..."
Xiao Fan looked at the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, where the Four Directions Pavilion Conference was held, which still stood majestically on Thunder Mountain.
Silver lightning enveloped Thunder Mountain, the dense lightning illuminating the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in a ghastly white light, standing alone atop the towering, cloud-piercing mountain.
Pedestrians on the ground gazed at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in the sky, their eyes filled with longing and anticipation for this renowned power on the continent.
Xiao Fan stood atop a mountain, gazing at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion bathed in lightning. Dark flames emerged from behind him, slowly enveloping him. Then, the black flames, like armor, covered Xiao Fan's body, concealing all energy fluctuations.
"laugh!"
A faint sound of wind and thunder arose, but it went unnoticed by the thunder in the sky.
When the lightning dissipated, Xiao Fan's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
On Thunder Mountain, Xiao Fan followed the path he had taken to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Conference, gradually approaching the top of Thunder Mountain. However, the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, who were hiding in the shadows, seemed not to see him at all, remaining silently hidden in the dark, guarding against a powerful enemy that was almost impossible to appear.
Xiao Fan strolled leisurely to the top of Leishan Mountain, his gaze sweeping over the huge martial arts arena in front of him. He looked at the neatly arranged buildings in front of him, and with a flick of his body, he stepped straight into it.
"Strange, there isn't any..."
Xiao Fan's figure flickered as he searched for Thunder Venerable within the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but he could not detect any trace of Thunder Venerable.
"I originally wanted to keep a low profile..."
Xiao Fan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
Since it was the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Xiao Fan did not unleash his soul power in a grand manner. The Wind and Thunder Pavilion was far more powerful than the Yellow Springs Pavilion. Even the Yellow Springs Venerable could sense his soul aura within the pavilion, so it was impossible for the Thunder Venerable not to be able to sense it.
The reason Xiao Fan can now move freely in Thunder Mountain is because he is using the special properties of the Chaos Fire to conceal his aura.
However, since the hatred between Xiao Fan and Feng Lei Ge is irreconcilable, he will not allow Lei Zun and Feng Lei Ge to live so comfortably.
"boom!"
Relying on his current strength, Xiao Fan no longer concealed himself. His internal energy surged wildly, and terrifying fluctuations instantly spread outwards from Xiao Fan as the center.
Caught completely off guard, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was struck by Xiao Fan's sudden burst of Dou Zun strength. The powerful aura caused the disciples in the pavilion to change their expressions drastically, looking at the energy center with fear on their faces.
"Xiao Fan! It's Xiao Fan!"
"Damn it, how did he get into the pavilion?!"
...............
The elders and disciples of Fenglei Pavilion looked up at Xiao Fan's figure rising into the air, their faces showing fear. They couldn't help but complain about the disciples guarding the mountain passage.
However, they forgot that the disciples guarding the mountain path were at most only at the Dou Huang or Dou Zong level. How could they possibly defend against Xiao Fan, who was at the Dou Zun level?
However, in such a crisis, no one thinks about the consequences; they simply subconsciously shift the blame to others.
"Shhh!!"
However, as Xiao Fan's aura was exposed, several Dou Zong elders from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion appeared in mid-air. When they saw Xiao Fan, their faces were instantly filled with regret.
He secretly blamed himself for his bad luck in running into Xiao Fan, this jinx.
The news of the destruction of Huangquan Pavilion had spread throughout the entire Central Continent after a month of fermentation, and was even spreading beyond the Central Continent. Fenglei Pavilion naturally also received the news.
At first, they were worried that Xiao Fan would lead the experts of the Starfall Pavilion to attack them, and Lei Zun Zhe devised a series of countermeasures.
However, those who knew Xiao Fan's combat strength naturally understood that all these arrangements were completely useless in the face of Xiao Fan's power. After all, the Dou Zun experts who died at his hands were already able to establish several first-class forces in Zhongzhou.
Lei Zun Zhe was naturally aware of this drawback. With the strength of Feng Lei Ge alone, he was naturally unable to fight against Xiao Fan, so he turned his attention to the Tian Yao Huang Clan.
Huang Luo, who released Xiao Fan in Saint Pill City, broke through her inner shackles and her strength broke through to the level of a nine-star Dou Zun. She broke through the shackles and entered the transitional realm between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng, achieving the Nine Revolutions to Sainthood!
When the Dou Qi within a powerful expert at the peak of Dou Zun reaches its full potential and cannot be increased further, that is when the Nine Revolutions begin.
At this point, he needs to condense and compress all the fighting spirit in his body, so that his full body can once again have an area that can accommodate the new fighting spirit. When the fighting spirit is full again, it will be suppressed and tempered once more!
Repeating this process nine times, the fighting spirit within the body will undergo a qualitative change under this compression, allowing it to leap across the immeasurable chasm and truly advance to the Saint level.
Each time the battle qi is compressed is called a "turn".
After nine attempts, all the fighting spirit within his body was concentrated, his entire talent was fully unleashed, and he reached his true peak, stepping into the Saint rank.
After reaching the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun, each time one compresses their own Dou Qi, it becomes extremely difficult. The Dou Qi required between each Dou Zun level is almost the sum of the Dou Zun realm. Very few people can truly complete the Nine Revolutions. Therefore, the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm is also known as the Trapped Saint Realm by the people of the continent!
(The original novel doesn't describe the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm very clearly, since Xiao Yan skipped it directly. I'll modify it according to my own understanding here, similar to adding a realm between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng, for example, changing the name to Trapped Saint Realm. This should be much easier for many readers to understand.)
Once Huang Luo's strength reached the Saint-Binding Realm, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan developed a great interest in him.
After all, hundreds of years ago, Huang Luo was also a genius of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan who was unparalleled among his peers. However, he later encountered Han Ning, and his Dao heart was shattered, which led to his decline.
The higher-ups of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan hadn't expected that dealing with Xiao Fan would actually allow Huang Luo to return to her peak. However, this was a situation the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was happy to see. After giving Huang Luo a few more instructions, they didn't pay much attention to the matter between Huang Luo and Xiao Fan.
After all, killing Xiao Fan is not difficult, but being able to restore Huang Luo's talent and Dao heart means that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan may produce another saint.
Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan entrusted all matters concerning Xiao Fan to Huang Luo for handling.
Lei Zun Zhe went to Huang Luo for help after learning about this.
"Xiao Fan, why be so ruthless? You must know that no matter how strong you are, you are nothing but an ant in front of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."
An elder from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Now that our Pavilion Master is not here, why do you, as a Dou Zun expert, make things difficult for us?"
Xiao Fan listened to the words of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion Master and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. As he spoke, a blazing firelight enveloped him.
"The strong are respected, and the weak are powerless. Isn't this the rule of this continent?"
As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, the elder of Fenglei Pavilion, who was engulfed in flames, turned into ashes.
In the midst of their conversation, a Dou Zong expert fell at Xiao Fan's hands. The other elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion all showed expressions of panic. Xiao Fan turned to look at them and said, "Don't worry, I am not a bloodthirsty person."
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion showed expressions of joy and delight. However, before they could rejoice, a terrifying soul pressure instantly descended, and they were unable to control their own bodies at all.
Taking advantage of this brief period of control, Xiao Fan waved his hand, and several Dou Zong experts in mid-air died as a result of his scheme. Only then did Xiao Fan finish speaking.
"Of course, you will all die..."
Xiao Fan wore a faint smile on his face, then his gaze fell on the group of Fenglei Pavilion disciples on Thunder Mountain. His eyes were cold, and his authoritative voice rang in the ears of the disciples.
"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After that, if you're still on Leishan Mountain, I won't be responsible for your life or death."
As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, terrifying energy began to crush towards Thunder Mountain. The terrifying aura made the disciples of Wind and Thunder Pavilion panic.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the space above and the faint killing intent permeating the air, no one dared to gamble that Xiao Fan wouldn't make a move. All the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion immediately ran down the mountain, each displaying their unique abilities.
However, there were always a few who had a strong sense of belonging to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. They gathered together at the entrance of the main hall on the mountaintop, their eyes filled with anger as they stared intently at Xiao Fan above.
Chapter 224 Tianbei City (First Update)
Xiao Fan was genuinely happy for Thunder Venerable because of the strong sense of belonging these Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples had for their sect.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed. Seeing that there are no more disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion on the road leading to Thunder Mountain, Xiao Fan decided not to wait any longer. Those who wanted to escape had already left the Thunder Mountain area.
As for the dozens of disciples left behind by Lei Shan, Xiao Fan was naturally willing to grant their wish to live and die with the sect.
"boom!"
"Dragon's Ultimate Battle Dance!"
Xiao Fan stretched out his palm, and blazing flames emanated from it. A dark dragon shadow emerged from beneath him and sat down in the void behind him. A cyan flame throne appeared behind Xiao Fan, and white and blue flames intertwined in the dragon shadow's eye sockets. Earthy yellow patterns slowly emerged from the dragon scales as they burned away.
This fighting technique, created by Xiao Fan himself, exuded a terrifying aura of death, watching over the remaining disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion on Thunder Mountain.
"He...he wouldn't actually do it, would he?"
Among the remaining disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, a young man, feeling the dragon's might above, trembled and spoke with some fear.
"No way! He's a Dou Zun expert, he wouldn't abandon his status to attack us. As a powerful figure, and with the Pavilion Master not here, and we haven't offended him like the elders have, he has no reason to hold a grudge against a group of disciples like us."
"As long as we hold on, we'll definitely be valued and added to the cabinet when the Pavilion Master returns..."
Above, Xiao Fan looked at the many disciples on Thunder Mountain without any pity. He had given them a chance to live, and as their enemy, death was the inevitable outcome.
"Ang~"
Xiao Fan waved his hand indifferently, and the black fire dragon beneath him roared. It then expanded continuously in mid-air, growing to hundreds of feet in size in the blink of an eye. The dragon scales on its body were lifelike, radiating a blazing energy aura.
The dragon's shadow began at the top of Thunder Mountain, circling around the entire mountain and encompassing it.
"What...what are you going to do?"
The remaining disciples on the summit of Leishan Mountain showed fear on their faces upon seeing Xiao Fan's actions. As soon as he spoke, the black fire dragon outside Leishan Mountain unleashed scorching energy. Leishan Mountain, enveloped by the fire, was continuously refined under the burning of the strange fire. The space melted layer by layer, revealing the void in the scorching flames, before being completely annihilated.
"hiss!!"
Those disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion who had fled Thunder Mountain felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Xiao Fan's methods.
Leishan is a landmark building that has always stood tall in this mountain range, in everyone's sight.
Burned by the flames, it turned into nothingness.
The once towering mountain peaks have been completely annihilated by the terrifying young man in the sky, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
"boom!"
After a while, the last rock of Leishan was annihilated in the flames, and the entire Leishan disappeared completely from everyone's sight. Where Leishan was originally located, due to the terrifying energy of the strange fire, a bottomless black cave appeared on the surface, and the spring water that originally gushed out in it evaporated under the scorching heat.
After burning Thunder Mountain to the ground, Xiao Fan looked up at the Thunder Pavilion in mid-air, which had gathered the thunderous power of countless years using an array, and a smile appeared on his face: "Perfect timing for me!"
Xiao Fan waved his hand, and the Heavenly Demon Puppet was taken out of his storage ring. He then flew towards the sea of lightning in the sky.
"Crackling and popping..."
