War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4598 Fang Yi Fan Is Dead

“They’re all gone…”

Lei Hong attempted to find the World supreme powerhouses but failed again and again. His expression was naturally unsightly. He did not expect all of them to guard against him.

‘Do all of you fear me this much? Back when Feng Qing Yang became a level-seven supreme powerhouse, none of you acted like this!’ Lei Hong cursed inwardly.

At this time, it seemed like Lei Hong had completely forgotten that when Feng Qing Yang was the only level-seven supreme powerhouse in the world, Feng Qing Yang only guarded the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and prevented them from entering. Feng Qing Yang did not kill indiscriminately.

Even when Meng Han from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion became a level-seven supreme powerhouse, not many Saints went into hiding. The ones who did were only those who had enmity with Meng Han in the past. After all, Meng Han had quite a good reputation in the Outer Boundary.

As for Lei Hong, he was notorious not only for his bad temper but also for his viciousness.

…

“They all ran away too?”

Lei Hong left the Sun Bright World in a fit of rage and went to the Transcendence World and the Primordial World, which were two of the Three Upper Worlds. However, he soon discovered that the World supreme powerhouses in those two Worlds also guarded against him.

Apart from a few forces with more than two World supreme powerhouses where one World supreme powerhouse would stay behind like Xue Zhu from the Xue clan, no World supreme powerhouse stayed in their respective forces at all. All of them went into hiding after learning that Lei Hong had become a level-seven supreme powerhouse.

‘Damn it! Everyone is avoiding me! Am I so unreasonable in their eyes?’ Lei Hong fumed inwardly.

…

After that, Lei Hong turned his attention to the 18 Middle Worlds. To be precise, he turned his attention to 17 out of the 18 Middle Worlds. He naturally did not dare to provoke the God Defying World that had two level-seven supreme powerhouses.

After visiting the 17 Worlds, he soon discovered that everyone was also conveniently absent from their respective forces.

In the end, Lei Hong could only return to the Cyan Swan Saint Sect in the Sun Bright World, feeling frustrated.

…

Not long after Lei Hong returned to the Sun Bright World, the World supreme powerhouses in hiding soon received news of Lei Hong’s visit. All of them rejoiced at their foresight.

“Fortunately, we left early. That Lei Hong is really inhumane! Now that he’s broken through, he wants to get rid of us!”

“Seeing that Lei Hong didn’t return after so long, I almost returned a few years ago. Fortunately, I didn’t do so! Otherwise, I’m afraid I would’ve died!”

“What’s wrong with Lei Hong? He waited decades after his breakthrough before he came looking for us…”

“He must have been injured by the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and took decades to recover.”

…

Somewhere in the Transcendence World that was shrouded in mist, which gave the place an ethereal quality.

A scoff rang in the air as a figure walked out of the mist. If Lei Hong was present, he would recognize the figure immediately. The other party was none other than Fang Yi Yan, the strongest World supreme powerhouse in the Transcendence World who obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman earlier than Lei Hong did.

“Lei Hong, you want to kill me? It seems like you’re very confident after becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse. After so many years of preparation, it’s finally time for me to take the next step and face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation…”

Fang Yi Fan took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.

He did not waste time and quickly found a small World. After setting up concealing Formations, he prepared to face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. After overcoming it, he would become a level-seven supreme powerhouse as well, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lei Hong once again. At that time, Lei Hong would not dare to think about killing him again.

…

In the God Defying World.

Duan Ling Tian continued to live a leisurely and comfortable life. He would chat and drink tea with Xiao Mu Bai occasionally, chatting about the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary.

Today was one of those days.

“Some time ago, Lei Hong searched the forces in the Three Upper Worlds to kill the World supreme powerhouses so he would have fewer competitors in the future,” Xiao Mu Bai said.

“He’s so cruel?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised. In truth, this thought crossed his mind briefly before he dismissed it. After all, he did not think it was necessary. He was not afraid of people catching up to him. Similarly, his master was also not afraid of competition. After his master broke through, his master did not kill any Saint or World supreme powerhouses at all.

“That’s right. Fortunately, those World supreme powerhouses in the Three Upper Worlds know about his vicious nature so all of them went into hiding after his breakthrough,” Xiao Mu Bai said with a smile, “Later, he went to 17 Middle Worlds, leaving the God Defying World alone. Similarly, he couldn’t find the World supreme powerhouses. They either went into hiding, or the World, similar to ours, lied about having a World supreme powerhouse…”

Before Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang rose to power, the God Defying World had no World supreme powerhouse. However, Xiao Mu Bai and the others kept up the pretense that Xiao Mu Bai’s father, a World supreme powerhouse, was still alive. This was to prevent others from attacking the God Defying World.

After all, the Lower Worlds and the Middle Worlds without World supreme powerhouses were conquered by the Upper Three Worlds and forced to serve them. The Upper Three Worlds would forcefully extract the World’s realm energy to fortify their respective Worlds.

“He didn’t go to the Outer Boundary?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile.

“I don’t think so,” Xiao Mu Bai shook his head and said, “Lei Hong’s reputation is not only bad in the Myriad Worlds, but it’s bad even in the Outer Boundary. In my opinion, the Saints in the Outer Boundary have probably gone into hiding as well. That aside, Lei Hong won’t dare to go to the Outer Boundary recklessly. After all, Lord Meng Han is in the Outer Boundary. With Lord Meng Han’s presence, Lei Hong won’t dare to recklessly attack the Saints in the Outer Boundary.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

…

A few days had just passed when Xiao Mu Bai came to look for Duan Ling Tian again.

“I just received news that Fang Yi Fan, the strongest World supreme powerhouse from the Transcendence World, is dead,” Xiao Mu Bai said solemnly.

This was not the first time Duan Ling Tian heard about Fang Yi Fan. He knew that Fang Yi Fan was the second person to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman before Lei Hong did.

“Did he die during the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Most likely,” Xiao Mu Bai said with a nod, “It’s unlikely that he’d be found by Lei Hong. After preparing for such a long time, he should have been facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. I heard this news from a World supreme powerhouse from the Transcendence World. He discovered that Fang Yi Fan’s Soul Pearl had shattered.”

It was normal for World supreme powerhouses to possess each other’s Soul Pearls to facilitate communication. Once a Soul Pearl shattered, it meant that the owner of the Soul Pearl was dead.
