Chapter 2000: The Number One Person

Xiao Fan was in no hurry to make a move.

For now, focusing on Ling Xiao was more important.

As for these geniuses and prodigies from hostile races, he would kill them all later when he, Xiao Li, and Xiao Qing split up to act.

The geniuses and prodigies from forces such as the Sword Sect, the Witch God Clan, the Weiyang Clan, the Blood Clan, and the Sacred Beast Realm also sensed that something was wrong and looked over together.

"Xiao Fan!!"

"Damn it… why is the Human Emperor of the Slave Realm here!"

"Xiao Qing and Xiao Li are here too!"

"…"

These geniuses and prodigies immediately became nervous.

To say they weren't afraid would be a complete lie.

They were no match for Xiao Fan.

These people were incredibly anxious… every single one of their faces turned ashen.

These geniuses and prodigies immediately exchanged looks and transmitted messages to one another, then stood together in a defensive posture; if Xiao Fan made a move, they would resist him together.

Xiao Fan shrugged indifferently…

In his eyes, these geniuses and prodigies were already dead.

Among them, the people from the Sword Sect had the ugliest expressions.

They were the most frustrated…

Because they didn't even know how they had offended Xiao Fan!

Ever since then, Xiao Fan would kill any member of the Sword Sect he encountered!

It was completely baffling!

They didn't realize… it was because of the Yuding Sect.

The Sword Sect had gone too far.

That was why Xiao Fan found the Sword Sect an eyesore.

…

The many nearby geniuses and prodigies of the Ziwei Pavilion remained vigilant and on guard.

Ling Xiao had now reached a critical moment… if anyone tried to disturb him now, they would surely fight to the death!

*Boom*

*Rumble*…

At this time.

Ling Xiao broke through again, his Realm reaching the Early Stage of the Ninth Level of the Liandao Realm!!

Everyone nearby looked over together.

After Ling Xiao's Breakthrough, even more terrifying ripples of aura emanated; geniuses with insufficient strength couldn't even stand steadily.

Xiao Fan shook his head; this Ling Xiao was truly a freak.

His Realm Breakthroughs were eerily fast.

Ling Xiao's aura gradually stabilized, but it was still rising.

A moment later…

All the purple qi around him was absorbed into his body, and he reached the Middle Stage of the Ninth Level of the Liandao Realm!

Ling Xiao didn't stop; he gazed into the distance at the starry sky, purple mist flowing in his eyes, as if looking at something…

Everyone looked over, even Xiao Qing and Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and frantically projected his Divine Sense into the distance, but unfortunately, he saw nothing.

Yin-Yang Qi flowed in Xiao Qing's eyes as she exerted her ocular power to the limit…

"Did you see anything?" Xiao Fan asked.

Xiao Qing shook her head: "I don't know… my vision has reached its limit, but I'm not sure what he's looking at."

Xiao Fan nodded…

This certainly wasn't because Xiao Fan and Xiao Qing's vision wasn't strong enough, but because Ling Xiao had special means.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's storage ring flashed, and a purple-skinned gourd appeared in his hand.

He exhaled and opened the gourd; purple mist billowed out from within, containing the power of the supreme Dao.

"Golden Cores… and they're perfect quality Golden Cores!!"

"Heavens, perfect quality Golden Cores!!"

"…"

As Ling Xiao took out the purple-skinned gourd, the surroundings fell into a clamor.

"Golden Cores… and perfect quality ones at that," Xiao Fan murmured.

This was a fine treasure.

Countless people nearby cast greedy glances, but unfortunately, no one dared to snatch it.

Ling Xiao's current Realm had reached a level that shocked countless prodigies.

The Ninth Level of the Liandao Realm!!

In the battles that had broken out since the Secret Realm Star Domain opened, only Niu Tongxuan had forcibly advanced to the Liandao Realm.

But that was only the First Level of the Liandao Realm…

Whereas Ling Xiao was at the genuine Ninth Level of the Liandao Realm!

Ling Xiao consumed all the Golden Cores from the purple-skinned gourd, and purple mist began to emanate from his body.

His aura climbed once again, and the humming sound of the Dao resonated nearby.

"Break for me!!"

Ling Xiao roared.

*Boom*

*Rumble*

His Realm broke through once more, reaching the Late Stage of the Ninth Level of the Liandao Realm, only half a step away from the Great Perfection of the Liandao Realm.

Ling Xiao was not satisfied; he was still gathering the nearby purple mist!

He wanted to break through to the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Liandao Realm!

"Heavens… is this Ling Xiao a monster?!"

"So… so powerful!"

"Is Ling Xiao now the number one person in the Secret Realm?!"

"…"

The nearby onlookers were amazed, all feeling a sense of fear from Ling Xiao.

With Ling Xiao becoming a Ninth Level Liandao Realm cultivator, he now possessed strength at the half-step Wanwu Realm.

After the Liandao Realm came the Wanwu Realm!

Reaching the Wanwu Realm… that would place him among the ranks of truly powerful experts within the Hongtian Star Domain, who could be called supreme experts!

It could be said… Ling Xiao was about to break away from their generation.

Because the younger generation… could no longer restrain Ling Xiao; he needed to be compared with the experts of the older generation.

"What is his goal?" Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes, his brow furrowing.

Others only saw Ling Xiao's strength, but he knew clearly that the other party's actions had a deeper meaning.

With Ling Xiao's current strength, he could walk unhindered in the Secret Realm Star Domain.

Why would he still use Medicinal Pills to forcibly increase his strength?!

There was something wrong!

Something very wrong.

His behavior seemed more like… preparing for battle!!
