144: Chapter 144: Daozi is impressed by his powerful strength!

The people around them, seeing this, were inexplicably excited; one was a Dao Child, the number one among the younger generation in Xuan Province, and the other was even more abnormal, a Young Emperor with an invincible Physique and unparalleled Battle Intent. Just thinking about it made their blood boil.

Qingxu Valley Valley Master Ling Xiao and Ling Ying watched Ling Yu Fan in the Void Realm nervously, their faces filled with worry.

Man Dali, seeing this, said to the two, "Oh, you don't need to worry. Brother Jiang Xuan knows his limits and won't hurt Brother Yu Fan."

Ling Xiao and the other chuckled, hoping it would be so.

In the Void Realm, Ling Yu Fan's expression was extremely solemn. This might be the most difficult battle of his life.

Ling Yu Fan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and cleared all distracting thoughts from his Heart-Nature. When he reached his optimal state, his eyes suddenly snapped open, filled only with intense Battle Intent!

"Star Saint Body, activate!"

As a loud shout rang out, a brilliant starry sky suddenly appeared behind Ling Yu Fan, countless stars emitting dazzling light.

Streaks of stellar power surged into Ling Yu Fan's body, and his surroundings shimmered with starlight under its influence.

Jiang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, a faint Chaos Qi spreading from them.

"Falling Stars!" Ling Yu Fan's eyes narrowed. Stellar power frantically poured into his right hand. He roared, and punched out!

In the starry sky, countless meteorites fell, smashing towards Jiang Xuan.

"The power is good, but unfortunately, it's not enough!" Jiang Xuan let out a low shout. He twisted his right hand, Chaos Qi gathered in his palm, and he struck the sky with his palm.

In an instant, all the meteorites above his head were shattered!

"Rumble..."

Rumbling sounds echoed around Jiang Xuan, and large and small deep pits immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.

Ling Yu Fan's pupils contracted. With just a casual strike, he had neutralized his attack. He truly was a Young Emperor.

Only by having fought with Jiang Xuan would one know how terrifying he was.

Ling Yu Fan's eyes held a hint of determination. "Fellow Daoist, what follows is my strongest attack. Please be careful."

Jiang Xuan nodded faintly. Seeing this, the former no longer hesitated, and a hundred-meter Dharma Idol manifested behind him.

"Lock!"

Suddenly, in the Void Realm around Jiang Xuan, nine stellar chains instantly bound Jiang Xuan in the air. Ling Yu Fan and the Dharma Idol behind him simultaneously bent backward.

One large and one small stellar bow and arrow appeared in Ling Yu Fan's and the Dharma Idol's hands, drawing and nocking in one fluid motion!

"Swish!"

The sound of tearing air resounded through the Void Realm as a giant stellar arrow shot towards Jiang Xuan.

"Is this your strongest attack? I feel it, but it's only this much!"

Jiang Xuan's mind stirred. He flipped his hands, grabbing two of the stellar chains. With a casual exertion of force, he snapped them!

"Crack!" The sound of breaking echoed in the Void Realm, shaking everyone's hearts!

Subsequently, Chaos Qi transformed into a pair of terrifying large hands, grasping the stellar arrow. Jiang Xuan looked up, grinned, and with a thought, the silver-gray large hands immediately reversed the direction of the arrow they held, throwing it forcefully towards Ling Yu Fan!

Ling Yu Fan's face changed drastically. He quickly retracted his stellar power, and the arrow in the Void Realm instantly vanished.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he could control stellar power. If this arrow had been shot with Jiang Xuan's Chaos Qi, he would surely have died!

Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward, without the slightest hint of jealousy in his eyes, only deep admiration. "Thank you, Young Emperor, for showing mercy. Yu Fan admits defeat."

Jiang Xuan smiled, "It's nothing. It was just a sparring match. Don't worry about it."

Ling Yu Fan sighed in his Heart-Nature, "Too strong. I am simply not on his level. He could feel that Jiang Xuan was holding back and didn't actively attack. Otherwise, he probably couldn't even take a single move."

He finally understood why the people of Barren Province held Jiang Xuan in such high regard. He was simply a monster. The title of Young Emperor was well-deserved!

In the distance, Ling Xiao's eyes were filled with shock. He knew his son's strength best, but even so, he still couldn't last a single move against Jiang Xuan.

Haha, in this Golden Great Era, with this child present, it will be difficult for others to compete.

The expressions of the surrounding people were wonderfully varied. They had finally witnessed the Young Emperor's strength: breaking stellar chains with bare hands, and Ling Yu Fan the Dao Child's strongest attack being casually neutralized.

Everything seemed so casual and simple. One might ask, among the Prodigies of this world, who could compare to the Young Emperor? Who was worthy of comparing to him?

At this moment, these Geniuses of Xuan Province, like those from Barren Province, regarded Jiang Xuan as an idol in their Heart-Nature, the pride of their younger generation!

In the Void Realm, Ling Yu Fan hesitated for a moment, then his expression became firm. He bowed respectfully to Jiang Xuan and said, "Young Emperor's strength is immense, peerless and unparalleled. No one in the world can surpass him. If the Young Emperor does not disdain my humble strength, I am willing to follow behind him and clear all obstacles on the Emperor Road!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was in an uproar. What did they hear? A Dao Child of a province, a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, actually chose to become a follower.

However, upon second thought, they felt that Ling Yu Fan had made a wise decision. Everyone could see that this Golden Great Era was Jiang Xuan's personal show. When the Emperor Road opened in the future, who could contend with Jiang Xuan?

By choosing to follow now, when Jiang Xuan attained the Great Emperor Dao Fruit in the future, Ling Yu Fan would have the merit of a Dragon follower, still becoming renowned throughout the world and a peerless figure on the Zhou Heaven Continent.

Conversely, those who opposed Jiang Xuan had long turned into a pile of yellow earth.

Thinking of this, their eyes held envy, sighing that their own strength was insufficient. Only figures like the Dao Child were qualified to be Jiang Xuan's followers.

Jiang Xuan's eyes also held a hint of surprise. In his Heart-Nature, he thought even more highly of Ling Yu Fan.

Excellent character. Even after losing, he harbored no resentment. His Heart-Nature was far beyond ordinary people. A Dao Child of a province, a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, there were only eight in the entire continent. To willingly give up such glorious status and become his follower was not something an ordinary person could do.

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment. A Dao Child, possessing one of the top ten Saint Physiques, with good character and Heart-Nature, he was indeed qualified to follow behind him.

Recalling his thoughts, Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Ling Yu Fan was overjoyed in his Heart-Nature. This was an opportunity bestowed upon him by the heavens!

He quickly knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Thank you, sir!"

Ling Xiao in the distance showed a slight smile. His son had grown up. No matter what decision Ling Yu Fan made, as his father, he would unconditionally support him.

Ling Ying, beside him, clenched his fist, secretly thinking, "Brother, I will definitely catch up to your footsteps. In the future, I will also follow Young Emperor and fight alongside you!"

"Hehehe, I, Man Dali, have another friend. Brother Yu Fan, remember to call me when there's a fight in the future."

Man Dali chuckled heartily beside Jiang Xuan, extremely happy in his Heart-Nature.

Jiang Xuan smiled and shook his head. This Dali, besides eating, was always thinking about fighting. "Dali, don't worry, following me, you'll definitely have plenty of fights."

"Hahahaha..."

For a time, joyful laughter was incessant.

Not long after, Ling Yu Fan bid farewell to Ling Xiao and the other, and along with Man Dali, followed Jiang Xuan to the Supreme Beginning Holy Land.

The surrounding people looked at the empty Lanyue Sect, sighing endlessly. Such a large Sect was wiped out in an instant. Truly, the world is unpredictable.

As everyone left, everything that happened at the Lanyue Sect instantly spread from Xuan Province, shaking the Nine Provinces once again!
