140: I, Yang Yucheng! I need to live up to my promise.

Yang Yucheng did not want to hear such empty words at all.

His decision not to kill now was merely his own choice, a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.

It had absolutely nothing to do with anyone else!

Lin Fan's Breakthrough speed was faster than everyone imagined; it seemed he was only one final Bottleneck away from the Spirit Emperor Realm.

And now.

His heart was firm, and his Dao Heart was solid.

This Bottleneck was like a window, easily broken with a poke!

With a rumble!

A violent thud echoed once again between heaven and earth, surrounding everyone's ears!

Lin Fan's entire body turned reddish-yellow, and even his hair showed streaks of crimson, especially his Aura, which was now rising steadily.

And this was precisely the situation of a Breakthrough to the Spirit Emperor Realm.

Lin Fan, he actually succeeded!

In broad daylight!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he truly broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm, reaching the Elder level within the Fengyun Sect!

Everyone watched this scene, this miracle unfolding.

Unbeknownst to them.

A group of Sect Disciples, silently and imperceptibly, seemed to have sided with Lin Fan.

Compared to the marriage, those born as Prodigies, with extraordinary Aptitude, and high above others.

It was Senior Brother Lin Fan, who was so ordinary, yet step by step rose to the height of a strong person, that better fit the image in their hearts.

It was more in line with their own interests!

Thus, various words of praise once again emerged.

Like turncoats, they would side with the winner!

"Indeed, I knew it, Senior Brother Lin is no ordinary person. Breaking through to Spirit Emperor and becoming an Elder, even if he's not Senior Brother Yang's opponent right now, he's still not inferior to anyone!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Lin came from a remote small town before; how could he compare to Senior Brother Yang? Senior Brother Yang started within this Sect, so comparatively, Senior Brother Lin's Talent is actually a bit superior to Senior Brother Yang's."

"I'm actually looking forward to the battle between the two Senior Brothers even more!"

At this moment.

These remarks, though still placing Yang Yucheng in the upper hand, subtly but truly began to compare the Lin Fan before them.

With Yang Yucheng.

The comparison between peerless Prodigies, imperceptibly, had once again elevated Lin Fan's status within the Sect, directly raising him to the same level as Yang Yucheng and Zhao Qingrou.

Truly beginning to contend equally, to be mentioned in the same breath... "Sect Head Martial Nephew, did you ever imagine?"

"Today, my Junior Brother would be able to break through to the Spirit Emperor Realm?"

Amidst the discussions, Lin Fan laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

He should laugh wildly!

At a time of despair, he broke through in battle, taking another step forward under everyone's watchful eyes!

Such Heaven-Defying change of fate, Lin Fan achieved it, so why shouldn't he be arrogant?

A young man should have an arrogant Aura, and what's more, it has already become a fact! Arrogance naturally became the capital of his confidence at this very moment!

Lin Fan's eyes were filled with an unyielding, Heaven-Defying Aura.

He took step after step in the Void Realm, advancing forward.

Charging towards Yang Yucheng's front with every step!

"Sect Head Martial Nephew, facing me now, I wonder if it can still be as easy as before?"

Lin Fan spoke loudly again.

And everyone turned their gaze to Yang Yucheng, looking at the person who, in their hearts, was truly the number one in the Fengyun Sect.

Even more curious.

What could Yang Yucheng say at this moment?

Lin Fan's Aura was like smoke and sea.

Although Yang Yucheng was unfathomable, he should be wary.

But to everyone's surprise—

Yang Yucheng's answer was like this.

"Why not?"

Yang Yucheng smiled indifferently, "Junior Brother Lin, you should recognize your own strength. Spirit Emperor is indeed valuable, but for Senior Brother, it has long ceased to be!"

Yang Yucheng said lightly.

Accompanying his words.

Lin Fan's advancing figure suddenly stopped in place.

The invincible Aura he carried behind him also completely disappeared, and the dark Divine Phoenix shrouding Lin Fan's body gradually solidified in place, unable to move even a jot.

The scene between heaven and earth seemed to instantly revert to the state it was in when Lin Fan failed earlier!

What did Yang Yucheng do?

What exactly did he do to make Lin Fan return to that failed scene from before?

Everyone's hearts were curious, and they looked up again.

Amidst the swirling shadows.

Yang Yucheng remained calm and composed in the face of Lin Fan's soaring momentum.

He did not have the heavenly phoenix ancient zither he had before, but his right hand still gently clapped forward.

"It's a top-grade spirit treasure, the bronze ice coffin!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise.

The bronze ice coffin appeared, and its bone-chilling cold Qi brewed around, permeating between heaven and earth.

Especially the endless suction force within it, which was directed straight at Lin Fan, completely countering his previous arrogance!

At the same time, Yang Yucheng's Battle Intent, which fought against heaven and earth and never ceased, and the killing intent released from his entire body, converged into one.

Killing intent struck.

Within the vast Void Realm, thick killing intent gathered everywhere, as if Yang Yucheng at this moment represented heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth were all targeting Lin Fan.

The wind, the clouds.

The thunder Dragon in the original dark clouds, and the swirling colors of the clouds everywhere, including the surrounding mountains, earth, and stones, were all targeting Lin Fan.

They all wanted to kill Lin Fan, or oppress him to death!

"Lin Fan is extraordinary! But Sect Head Martial Nephew is even more terrifying!"

Among the Elders.

They all frowned, looking at the battlefield. Lin Fan's terrifying Aura made them feel a chill in their hearts, and an infinite Battle Intent arose within them.

But Yang Yucheng at this moment seemed to have merged with heaven and earth, as if his Aura was one with them.

Especially the streaks of white Luck, which seemed to resonate with heaven and earth!

At this second, other Elders might not have noticed this.

But Second Elder Mo Bufan, and Zhao Qingrou, narrowed their eyes slightly, and both frowned, truly not understanding this scene before them!

Why exactly?

At this crucial juncture, Luck and heaven and earth actually sided with Yang Yucheng, not Lin Fan.

Everyone had already placed their bets on this side.

"Why is this exactly?"

Mo Bufan's brow furrowed.

He used the Heavenly Secret Technique.

The Heavenly Secret Technique was mysterious and unfathomable; there wasn't even a ripple in the air.

As for spiritual Qi, there was not even a trace!

The next second!

Second Elder Mo Bufan's expression changed dramatically, and his face also turned several shades paler.

"Heavenly Secret backlash!"

He looked at Yang Yucheng with an incredulous gaze, truly unable to believe what had happened to his good Sect Master Martial Nephew, that even he, a person from the Tianji Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects.

Could not possibly investigate!

"There's indeed something strange!"

Mo Bufan suppressed the shock in his heart; the paleness on his face was fleeting.

Immediately, he reverted to the demeanor he should have had before!

Seeing Revered Master in such a state, Zhao Qingrou suppressed the thought of also using the Heavenly Secret detection method that she had just had.

Then she looked at Yang Yucheng amidst the swirling clouds and shadows.
