42: Chapter 42 The God of the Boundless Realm!

"Very well, then today I shall test exactly how much weight you hold, you genius from Xining Prefecture."

As Fairy Meng spoke, she stomped her cane hard against the ground, and a force surpassing all limits came surging forward rapidly.

"Lord Yanling, assist me."

"Trying to stop a chariot with your mantis arms—when you were at your peak, I didn't fear you, let alone now, in your mere heavily injured state."

On Leng Yanshuang's cold and arrogant face, no emotion could be discerned, but the God Venerable Body slowly gathering behind her already said everything.

Ice Heaven Dragon Divine Venerable.

A giant Ice Dragon coiled around her body, its pressure pushed to the limit.

"Is this a Divine Venerable from Yuanchu Mountain? It feels so strong."

"Look at her Ice Dragon; it seems to possess a strange power."

"I wonder which of the two is stronger."

The battle between the two Divine Venerables was on the verge of breaking out, yet the instigator, Kang Dalei, sat leisurely in the plaza, watching the show.

For Fairy Meng, a heavily injured Undying Realm cultivator, to last three rounds against Leng Yanshuang would be considered impressive.

However, while Kang Dalei wanted to watch the show, someone wouldn't let him have his way. Palace Master Li Huainan of Yuyang Palace let out a soft sigh, then his figure flashed, and he appeared between the two.

"You two, if you want to duel, find another time. For now, let's focus on finding Meng Chuan and the others first."

The appearance of Palace Master Li Huainan caused both Leng Yanshuang and Fairy Meng to pause.

But Fairy Meng was clearly stubborn; even though Palace Master Li Huainan appeared to give her a way out, she still had to taunt Leng Yanshuang, resulting in her being beaten to a pulp.

"Enough nonsense. Today, I want to see how a mere Danyun Realm cultivator like you has the courage to contend with an old one like me in the Undying Realm."

"You're courting death."

Leng Yanshuang was naturally arrogant, and having been spoken to like that by Fairy Meng, her anger flared up instantly.

"I only wanted to save face for you earlier and let you have a few moves, but now, I will cripple you in one strike."

"Cripple me in one strike? Little girl, the gap between the Danyun Realm and the Undying Realm isn't something you can cross just by talking big."

The next second, the Ice Dragon manifested, and Leng Yanshuang directly activated Frozen World.

In an instant, the entire Yuyang Palace was covered by her ice and snow power, including Fairy Meng inside.

"Old thing, in your next life, remember not to be so reckless."

With a pointed finger, the Ice Dragon struck. Fairy Meng tried to use her Divine Statue Manifestation to block, but under Leng Yanshuang's Frozen World, she was destined to be slaughtered.

Just at this critical moment, the cold voice of Palace Master Li Huainan rang out again.

"That's enough, both of you."

The pressure of a Great Sun Realm Divine Venerable instantly shattered Leng Yanshuang's Frozen World.

Palace Master Li Huainan's figure appeared before Fairy Meng, staring straight at Leng Yanshuang with a very cold expression.

"Lord Examiner, even if you are a Divine Venerable sent down by Yuanchu Mountain, if you attack a Divine Venerable of my Dongning Prefecture without cause, this Palace Master can suppress you as well."

Facing Palace Master Li Huainan's sudden threat, Leng Yanshuang frowned, and her movements involuntarily slowed.

But after only a moment of hesitation, she re-gathered an Ice Dragon and pointed it at Palace Master Li Huainan, saying:

"Palace Master Li Huainan, move aside immediately, otherwise, this young lady doesn't mind beating you up as well."

Palace Master Li Huainan's eyes were incredibly gloomy at this moment. He had anticipated Leng Yanshuang's arrogance, but he hadn't expected it to be to this extent.

"Leng Yanshuang, do you really intend to go against my Dongning Prefecture?"

"It's you trying to go against us, how can you say we are going against you? You want information about your disciple but don't want to pay. Do you think I'm a sanitation worker!"

Before Leng Yanshuang could speak, Kang Dalei, who was in the plaza, had already cursed out:

"A piece of trash in the Great Sun Realm. If I give you face, I call you Palace Master; if I don't give you face, you're nothing but a fart."

"Brat, you are presumptuous."

Seeing that Kang Dalei, a mere participant, dared to clamor at him, Palace Master Li Huainan moved to kill him on the spot.

But before he could act, he was preempted by Kang Dalei, who spoke to Commander Lin Wen, who was massaging his waist and pounding his back:

"Blast this old coward with a few shots, let him learn a lesson."

Commander Lin Wen was very obedient. Upon receiving the order, without any hesitation, she directly picked up the Wind God Cannon behind her, raised it, aimed, and set the power to the maximum. Wujian Realm, Fifth-Level Demon King tier—she fired several shots in succession at Palace Master Li Huainan in the sky.

Just then, after firing the Wind God Cannon, Commander Lin Wen suddenly felt unwell and collapsed into Kang Dalei's arms.

[Ding-dong, limited-time mission released. Commander Lin Wen's life has entered a 30-minute countdown. Successfully help her extend her life to receive the life pendant as a reward.]

"Damn, a hundred years of lifespan used up just like that."

Looking at Commander Lin Wen collapsed in his arms, Kang Dalei was completely speechless.

He knew that the Wind God Cannon consumed lifespan.

But he never expected it to be consumed so quickly.

But in Commander Lin Wen's current state, how was he supposed to extend her life?

Death Fishing Village, the divine blood pool—a 200-mile round trip, half an hour was simply not enough time.

Kang Dalei did not want to give up on Commander Lin Wen.

Where else could he find such an obedient and fearless confidant?

"If there's really no other way, I can only use the God Venerable remains."

Forcefully fuse the God Venerable remains to make her directly enter the Divine Venerable level.

However, doing so would exhaust her potential.

Future advancement would be difficult; reaching even the simplest Undying Realm might become a luxury.

"No, there must be other ways."

At this moment, Kang Dalei had no mood to worry about anything else. He signaled to Leng Yanshuang, who was still about to fight Fairy Meng in the sky, and left Yuyang Palace with Commander Lin Wen.

Even for a Divine Venerable, traveling from Dongning Prefecture to Death Fishing Village would take at least two hours at the fastest; there was simply not enough time.

Upon receiving the order and exiting Yuyang Palace as well, Leng Yanshuang noticed Kang Dalei's grim expression and asked worriedly:

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Kang Dalei didn't intend to hide anything from Leng Yanshuang and briefly explained Commander Lin Wen's situation to her.

Hearing that this was the reason, a faint smile appeared on Leng Yanshuang's cold and arrogant face as she said:

"Husband, you are so funny. The reason Divine Venerables are slow is because they don't want to use their own abilities. If one burns lifespan, never mind one hour, one can reach Death Fishing Village in half an hour."

Kang Dalei was surprised upon hearing this: "Can you really reach Death Fishing Village in half an hour?"

Leng Yanshuang nodded seriously, "Of course, watch me, Husband."

Leng Yanshuang's aura surged, and then a flash of blood-red color passed through her eyes.

"Burn lifespan, grant me divine speed."

In just a moment, Leng Yanshuang and Commander Lin Wen in her arms had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Kang Dalei simply couldn't believe it.

Divine Venerables could play like this?

Of course not. Which ordinary Divine Venerable would dare to frequently deplete their own lifespan? Lifespan depletion is linked to one's realm.

The more tenacious the vitality, the faster the speed of advancement, and vice versa.

The only ones in the current Cangyuan World who could use lifespan as a cost without hesitation like this, were probably just Leng Yanshuang and Commander Lin Wen.

Kang Dalei left Dongning Prefecture; the assembly was considered over.

But when everyone saw Palace Master Li Huainan walking out of the sea of fire, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak for a moment.

A dignified Great Sun Realm Divine Venerable was now like a stray dog, covered in blood, aura withered, hair disheveled, standing there, muttering something.

"Marquis-level Divine Venerable, no, Wujian Realm Divine Venerable, she must be a Wujian Realm Divine Venerable."

Palace Master Li Huainan was completely beaten into a daze at this moment.

He had taken several Wujian Realm cannonballs head-on while completely unprepared.

If it were anyone else in the plaza, they would likely already be a corpse.
