Chapter 7026: Was It for a Breakthrough?

After hearing the Second Ancestor's words, the First Ancestor fell silent for a long time, finally letting out a faint sigh.

"Perhaps you are right."

In reality, the First Ancestor had no choice at all right now.

Even though he knew Xiao Fan would likely double-cross him, joining forces with Xiao Fan was his only option.

Otherwise, it would just be handing an easy victory to the Undying Holy Emperor.

In the First Ancestor's view, perhaps Xiao Fan hated him even more than he hated the Undying Holy Emperor.

Of course, this might just be wishful thinking on the First Ancestor's part.

Afterward, the Second Ancestor left and met with Xiao Fan again.

"The First Ancestor has agreed," the Second Ancestor said with a bitter smile.

"Heh heh heh… Very good. Let's head to the Undying Realm now," Xiao Fan chuckled.

"Alright, that works. With the First Ancestor's ability, he can tear through space and go directly to the Undying Realm," the Second Ancestor said.

"Fine." Xiao Fan smiled, said nothing more, turned around, and tore through space to leave.

He wasn't afraid of the Second Ancestor lying, nor did he fear the First Ancestor playing tricks.

Under the current circumstances, the First Ancestor had no other choice but to listen to him and deal with the Undying Holy Emperor.

Even if he were to join forces with the Undying Holy Emperor now to successfully eliminate him, the overall situation would not change.

In the end, the First Ancestor would still die.

Since that was the case, the First Ancestor would definitely take the gamble!!

Soon, Xiao Fan arrived in the vicinity of the Undying Realm.

Not long after stepping into this realm, the First Ancestor arrived.

"Xiao Fan, let's go," the First Ancestor said in a deep voice, gazing into the distance toward the main city.

"Heh heh heh… Let's go." Xiao Fan nodded with a smile and tore through space to leave.

…

Undying Realm, residence.

"Hmm? Xiao Fan? Zhi Dao?!" The Undying Holy Emperor's expression shifted, and he stood up abruptly.

"Wasn't it said before that Xiao Fan was still in the Yellow Springs Realm? How is this possible?!"

Panic seized the Undying Holy Emperor, and he immediately summoned the remaining few experts of the Emperor Tribulation Realm.

However, within mere moments, the auras of the First Ancestor and Xiao Fan arrived outside the main city.

"Undying Holy Emperor! Come out! I've come to see you." Xiao Fan crossed his arms and sneered.

"Undying Holy Emperor! Come out and die!" the First Ancestor roared.

"Xiao Fan! Zhi Dao! What do you want to do?!"

The Undying Holy Emperor appeared, looking at Xiao Fan and the First Ancestor with a stunned expression.

"Kill you." The First Ancestor spoke in a cold voice, the aura he radiated clearly a notch weaker than the Undying Holy Emperor's.

But if Xiao Fan were truly helping him, it would be an easy matter for the First Ancestor to eliminate the Undying Holy Emperor.

However, the First Ancestor knew in his heart that Xiao Fan definitely had his own agenda.

"Why kill me?!" The Undying Holy Emperor was shocked, asking a question that even he himself found laughable.

"Heh heh heh… Come! Let's fight!" The First Ancestor roared and charged straight at the Undying Holy Emperor.

In an instant, he was locked in a fierce battle with the Undying Holy Emperor.

Xiao Fan gave a cold smile, drew the tianming sword, and slashed toward the Undying Holy Emperor.

Xiao Fan, in the Half-Step Emperor Tribulation Realm, possessed strength second only to the Undying Holy Emperor and the First Ancestor.

Although he couldn't defeat either of them, he wasn't far behind.

At this moment, the Undying Holy Emperor was attacked from both sides, falling into a bitter battle.

"Xiao Fan! You deserve to die!"

The Undying Empress and the few remaining Emperor Tribulation Realm experts appeared.

But there was no need for Xiao Fan to make a move; several Emperor Tribulation Realm experts from Huangquan Palace arrived and engaged the Undying Realm's Emperor Tribulation Realm experts in battle.

Boom, boom, boom! The Undying Holy Emperor and the First Ancestor struck without mercy, their offensives monstrous.

The two spared no effort, both aiming to kill the other.

After fighting for a while, the bodies of the Undying Holy Emperor and the First Ancestor began to gradually disintegrate.

Xiao Fan looked closely and was immediately overjoyed.

There was no need to ask; the assimilation by the Heavenly Dao had definitely begun.

Right now, the Heavenly Dao's attention was entirely on the Undying Holy Emperor and the First Ancestor.

Xiao Fan closed his eyes and discovered that the shackles suppressing him had indeed disappeared.

Xiao Fan was instantly delighted.

"Undying Holy Emperor! First Ancestor! Thank you both." Xiao Fan murmured with a smile, then roared: "Break for me!!"

With a deafening boom, the aura Xiao Fan erupted with pierced through the heavens and earth.

At this moment, Xiao Fan achieved a Breakthrough to the Emperor Tribulation Realm.

The lightning of the Emperor Tribulation filled the sky, shrouding more than half of the Undying Realm.

"What? Xiao Fan has achieved a Breakthrough?!" The Undying Holy Emperor was shocked.

"He… Was he doing this for a Breakthrough?!" The First Ancestor suddenly realized.

In that instant, the Undying Empress, the Second Ancestor, and other Emperor Tribulation Realm experts all widened their eyes, looking at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

No one had expected that Xiao Fan would achieve a Breakthrough at this very moment.

A series of booming, bell-like sounds rang out across the heavens and earth.

This was the phenomenon that only appeared in the heavens and earth upon the birth of an Emperor Tribulation Realm expert.

But immediately following that, endless divine lightning of Heavenly Punishment descended upon Xiao Fan.
