Chapter 5168: Responsibility and Obligation

"Hehehe… Didn't expect that, did you? You devoured the power of our clan's kongtong immortal seal, but it has ended up becoming your Achilles' heel," Hua Xiangying said with a smile.

"Heh… I certainly didn't expect it," Xiao Fan sneered, his expression grim.

Just a moment ago, at a critical juncture in the fight between Xiao Fan and Hua Xiangying, the immortal power within his body had surged, suddenly taking control of Xiao Fan's body.

That was why Xiao Fan had been pierced through the chest by Hua Xiangying's attack.

It wasn't that Xiao Fan had been careless; rather, the immortal power of the kongtong immortal seal was being manipulated by Hua Xiangying.

Xiao Fan had not expected that the power of the kongtong immortal seal, which he had obtained by chance, would end up becoming his own weakness.

"Hehehe… In order to defeat you, I have spent the last few days comprehending our clan's supreme Secret Technique. Speaking of which, I must thank you properly. If it weren't for you, I would not have been able to comprehend the Secret Technique to control the kongtong immortal seal," Hua Xiangying said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone outside the Arena Barrier was stunned and turned in unison to look at Ancestor Kongtong.

Ancestor Kongtong wore a smile on his face. Normally, only he knew the Secret Technique to master the kongtong immortal seal.

According to the rules of the Kongtong Immortal Clan, he had to wait until he found a successor before he could pass down the Legacy of the Secret Technique.

However, in order to kill Xiao Fan and retrieve the power of the kongtong immortal seal that the other party had devoured, Ancestor Kongtong had taught Hua Xiangying the Secret Technique to master the kongtong immortal seal in advance.

It was because of this that Hua Xiangying could manipulate the power of the kongtong immortal seal. Just now, she had used this power to make the immortal seal power within Xiao Fan's body surge.

"Unbelievable… The Kongtong Immortal Clan… they've really gone all out just to eliminate Xiao Fan."

"Isn't that right? The method to control the kongtong immortal seal! To think they passed it on to Hua Xiangying so easily!"

"Sigh… Looking at it this way, Xiao Fan is in trouble."

"…"

Lang Wujie, Mo Xiao, Huang Wudi, and other top Prodigies stared at the light screen, their expressions complex.

They never expected that the final winner of this ten-thousand-year Grand Competition would actually be Hua Xiangying.

People from the Kongchen Holy Land knew all too well how terrifying the power of the kongtong immortal seal was.

Now that Hua Xiangying had comprehended the method to control the kongtong immortal seal, and Xiao Fan had the power of the kongtong immortal seal within him, he wouldn't be able to suppress it in the short term.

If that were the case, things like what had just happened would continue to occur; if his body was not under his own control, how could he possibly fight?!

The Arena Barrier…

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, come on, keep attacking," Hua Xiangying sneered coldly.

"You really are arrogant," Xiao Fan exhaled, his face grim.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was trying to suppress the power of the kongtong immortal seal within him, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't suppress it at all.

Even if Xiao Fan used the Power of World Destruction, he couldn't control the power of the immortal seal.

It wasn't that the Power of World Destruction was inferior to the kongtong immortal seal, but rather that Xiao Fan's Realm was too weak, so the Power of World Destruction couldn't suppress the power of the kongtong immortal seal.

Furthermore, because the power of the kongtong immortal seal was surging and Xiao Fan was trying to suppress it, it caused the Heavenly Emperor Blood Seal to backlash.

At this moment, Xiao Fan endured unimaginable pain.

The power that had originally helped Xiao Fan suppress the Heavenly Emperor Blood Seal was now also backlashing against him.

In the short term, Xiao Fan simply could not suppress the two surging powers.

At this moment, Xiao Fan's strength was less than one-third of its peak, and he couldn't use his full power at all.

"Hahaha… Arrogant? Do you know the consequences of offending our Kongtong Immortal Clan?!" Hua Xiangying laughed loudly, formed a seal with one hand, and charged at Xiao Fan.

Upon reaching Xiao Fan, the Dharma Body of the kongtong immortal seal appeared behind Hua Xiangying.

"Boom!"

The immortal seal slammed into Xiao Fan, causing him to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was firmly suppressed by Hua Xiangying and couldn't resist at all.

"Dad!!"

"Dad!"

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Qing roared, their expressions incomparably ugly.

They also never expected that such a thing would happen.

What was originally an Opportunity had ended up becoming a fatal weakness.

Even the Kongchen Holy Land Master and the hidden Holy Ancestor Kongchen sighed helplessly.

With Xiao Fan only at the Emperor Lord Realm, suffering the backlash of the kongtong immortal seal while in the middle of a great battle, he had no way to deal with it.

It could be said that the outcome of this Grand Competition was already decided; there was no suspense left.

The Arena Barrier…

"Hahaha… Xiao Fan, keep going! You devoured our clan's immortal seal power, and this is all the ability you have?!" Hua Xiangying laughed, feeling as if a great vengeance had been avenged.

Originally, when she fought Ye Miaoyin, she could have definitely defeated Ye Miaoyin by summoning the kongtong immortal seal.

But Xiao Fan had suddenly appeared to disrupt things; not only did he save Ye Miaoyin, but he also caused the kongtong immortal seal to suffer heavy damage, and the other party had even devoured the power of the kongtong immortal seal.

This matter had caused no small impact on the Kongtong Immortal Clan. One had to know that the kongtong immortal seal was the sacred object of the Kongtong Immortal Clan.

Yet, because of her, the kongtong immortal seal had been damaged, causing the Luck of the entire clan to be affected.

Hua Xiangying had the responsibility and obligation to retrieve the lost power of the kongtong immortal seal!
