Chapter 5174: Heaven-Deceiving Pill

Xiao Fan never expected that Hua Xiangying would actually choose to Breakthrough at a time like this.

It wasn't just Xiao Fan; everyone outside the Arena Barrier was also caught off guard.

"Hua Xiangying is breaking through now… Can she stabilize her aura?!"

"Exactly! If she triggers a Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn't she be… asking for trouble?!"

"Didn't you see the Medicinal Pill Hua Xiangying took? That's the Heaven-Deceiving Pill!"

"Heaven-Deceiving Pill? What's that?!"

"It's one of the supreme treasures of the Kongtong Immortal Clan. After taking it, one can deceive the heavens, preventing the Heavenly Tribulation from descending while the Realm Breakthroughs…"

"…"

An onlooker revealed the origin of the Medicinal Pill Hua Xiangying had taken.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The Heaven-Deceiving Pill, one of the supreme treasures of the Kongtong Immortal Clan.

Good heavens.

Just how many supreme treasures did the Kongtong Immortal Clan give Hua Xiangying just to eliminate Xiao Fan?!

Even Xiao Xuan and Xiao Qing were left speechless upon hearing this.

"Kongtong Immortal Clan, you've really gone all out… Is it worth it?!" At this moment, a Universe Emperor Realm expert from the Star Academy spoke up.

Ancestor Kongtong remained silent, while a Universe Emperor Realm expert from the Kongtong Immortal Clan chuckled, "Naturally, it's worth it. This is the consequence of opposing our Kongtong Immortal Clan."

Hearing this, the Universe Emperor Realm expert from the Star Academy fell silent.

The Kongtong Immortal Clan hadn't appeared for a long time, leading many to forget their temperament.

In the eyes of the Kongtong Immortal Clan, there were only friends or enemies.

Previously, Ancestor Kongtong had given Xiao Fan a choice, but since Xiao Fan refused to become a friend of the Kongtong Immortal Clan, he was now their enemy.

Inside the Arena Barrier…

Xiao Fan's expression was grim. After a moment's hesitation, he charged toward Hua Xiangying with the tianming sword in hand.

Xiao Fan knew very well that Hua Xiangying was no fool; her choosing to Breakthrough now must be part of her plan.

Since they were enemies now, he certainly couldn't let her have her way.

Seeing Xiao Fan's assault, Hua Xiangying's face darkened. "Despicable! But it's a pity—it's useless!"

*Boom!*

Hua Xiangying gave a low shout as her Realm broke through, rising to the Middle Stage of the first level of the Emperor Realm.

Although it was only a minor stage, her strength had increased remarkably, and her Breakthrough wasn't over yet.

Because she had previously devoured the power of the kongtong immortal seal, Hua Xiangying's Foundation was brimming, making successive Breakthroughs no problem.

"Damn it!" Xiao Fan's face was dark. She had broken through, yet there was not a single sign of a Heavenly Tribulation.

Xiao Fan knew clearly that it must be because of the Medicinal Pill she took.

Xiao Fan had to act and interrupt Hua Xiangying's Breakthrough…

"Battle!!"

Xiao Fan closed in on Hua Xiangying, but the Azure Light Immortal Armor on her body detached and hovered before her, blocking all of Xiao Fan's attacks.

*Bang! Bang! Clang!*

At this moment, Hua Xiangying used the Azure Light Immortal Armor as a shield specifically to buy time for her Breakthrough.

Xiao Fan unleashed a barrage of strikes, causing the immortal light of the Azure Light Immortal Armor to dim.

Yet even so, Xiao Fan couldn't break through the Azure Light Immortal Armor immediately, failing to interrupt Hua Xiangying's Breakthrough.

Soon, Hua Xiangying broke through to the Late Stage of the first level of the Emperor Realm, followed by the Peak of the first level of the Emperor Realm.

*Boom!*

With a loud shout, Hua Xiangying's Realm broke through to the Early Stage of the second level of the Emperor Realm.

Even after breaking through to the second level of the Emperor Realm, there was no sign of a Heavenly Tribulation.

Hua Xiangying's Breakthrough ceased, and the Azure Light Immortal Armor returned to her body.

Xiao Fan retreated, knowing it was too late and he could no longer stop her.

Xiao Fan asked curiously, "What was… that Medicinal Pill you just took?!"

"The Heaven-Deceiving Pill," Hua Xiangying smiled. "It prevents the Heavenly Tribulation from detecting me, temporarily pulling the wool over the heavens' eyes…"

"As I thought…" Xiao Fan muttered, his face grim.

He never expected Hua Xiangying to have such a trick up her sleeve.

"Hehehe… What? Are you afraid?" Hua Xiangying sneered, her eyes like ice as she stared intently at Xiao Fan.

"Afraid? Ridiculous. Even if you've broken through, the outcome won't change." Xiao Fan shook his head dismissively. "Come! Let's fight! Let me see your current strength."

"Hehe… Very well." Hua Xiangying sneered. Breaking through with the Heaven-Deceiving Pill was her final trump card.

If even this couldn't defeat Xiao Fan, Hua Xiangying would truly be at her wit's end.

"Xiao Fan! This time! I will definitely defeat you!" Hua Xiangying roared, charging toward Xiao Fan.

"Defeat me? Bring it on!" Xiao Fan roared. While enduring the backlash of the Heavenly Emperor Blood Seal, he clashed fiercely with Hua Xiangying.

By now, both sides had exhausted their techniques; it wouldn't be surprising regardless of who won or lost.

Outside, all sorts of discussions were taking place.

It could be said that the Kongtong Immortal Clan was sparing no effort to defeat Xiao Fan.

Even Holy Lord Kongchen shook his head repeatedly; without the help of the Kongtong Immortal Clan, Hua Xiangying would never have been able to defeat Xiao Fan.

Of course.

Even at this stage, Holy Lord Kongchen still didn't believe Hua Xiangying could defeat Xiao Fan.

Similarly, Holy Ancestor Kongchen thought the same, not believing Hua Xiangying could win.

"Will he win?!" Old Ancestor Qingyun looked worriedly and tensely at Xiao Qing and Xiao Xuan.

"He will."

"He will definitely win."
