Everyone nodded their heads involuntarily. In their own sects and families, they were undoubtedly excellent, the best geniuses, but in the Restore Heaven Academy, the geniuses from all over the vast lands would be gathered. They would obviously become the normal level there, and not even be able to enter the Restore Heaven Academy.
Ling Han was a proof—he was also at the Flower Blossom Tier, but his battle prowess was extremely terrifying, making people’s hair stand on ends.
Those who offended him now, wouldn’t they be afraid of being bullied by him when they entered the academy? One had to know that families, and the forces of a sect, couldn’t be brought into the academy.
“So, Yi Yun has a proposal. We’ll form a union and look after each other, resisting people from other circles together,” Wang Yi Yun went on.
This was the true purpose of her hosting a banquet—gathering geniuses for her own use!
Despite the fact that ones here were a younger generation, they would definitely become the leaders of various families and sects. If these people were brought under her control, it would be an unneglectable force in the future.
Ling Han couldn’t help but be curious, and asked, “This alliance, who will be the alliance’s leader?”
Wang Yi Yun glanced at Ling Han again, and then said, “My Senior Brother Lang Ya Tian is obviously the best choice for the alliance’s leader.”
Lang Ya Tian, an exceptional figure amongst the younger generations in middle state, standing side by side with Yao Hui Yue and Small Saber King. His strength was unfathomable; being able to strike down geniuses of an older generation, he was unpredictably strong.
Everyone was convinced. With Lang Ya Tian’s guidance, they certainly wouldn’t need to fear anyone else.
Ling Han smiled. He raised his hand, and said, “I want to be this alliance’s leader, yes or no!”
Wang Yi Yun was still full of smiles, and said, “Since we’re forming an alliance, everything is obviously based on strength. If Brother Ling feels that his strength is above that of my senior brother, you may challenge my senior brother. Whoever is more able will take the place.”
“Alright, call Lang Ya Tian over, and let me have a proper go,” Ling Han said with a smile.
Wang Yi Yun’s index finger moved slightly, having the urge to kill someone. Why did this guy always argue against her? She said, “My senior brother is cultivating in seclusion. He can cross into the Deity Transformation Tier at any time, and cannot spare time.”
“What, the Deity Transformation Tier!”
“My God!”
“Lang Ya Tian shouldn’t be over forty, right?”
“At most forty!”
“A Deity Transformation Tier at forty years old, truly frightening!”
Everyone cried out one after another. They were all hovering around the Flower Blossom Tier, but the strongest genius of the current age was already starting to break through to the Deity Transformation Tier; this gap was unbelievably large.
However, if they all decided to join the alliance, then the strength of the alliance’s leader was obviously the better the stronger it was.
Wang Yi Yun looked again at Ling Han, and said, “If Brother Ling is still unsatisfied, Yi Yun can fight instead of senior brother. However, Yi Yun’s cultivation is low, and her talent doesn’t even reach senior brother’s 0.01%, at most having 1% of senior brother’s strength.
She first deprecated herself, then elevated Lang Ya Tian to extreme heights. If Ling Han had to spend great efforts to defeat her, or even be inferior to her, how would he qualify to challenge Lang Ya Tian?
This girl was remarkable.
Ling Han smiled lightly, and said, “Lang Ya Tian having such a close friend and a better half like you is rather a fortunate thing.”
Hearing such words, countless youngsters instantly burst into anger. In their hearts, Wang Yi Yun was a goddess, a celestial, and celestials were obviously pure and untinged by mortal matters. If she fell into the mortal realm, then would she still be a fairy?
Killing intent flashed across Wang Yi Yun’s eyes. She admired Lang Ya Tian, and was willing to sacrifice herself for him, so she had to maintain her superior fairy identity. This way, she could win over more people, but Ling Han was clearly undermining her!
She finally couldn’t hold back, and said, “Brother Ling, since you’re not convinced with my senior brother, then allow Yi Yun to fight in lieu of senior brother.”
“Wait!” At this moment, a figure suddenly arrived in a dash. It was lofty, with divine golden light revolving around the entire body, just like a deity.
Ling Han revealed an stounded look—it was Xuanyuan Zi Guang!
“So its Brother Xuanyuan!” Wang Yi Yun instantly reveald a smile, and introduced him to everyone. “Xuanyuan Zi Guang, a current genius, which everyone should be no stranger to. Brother Xuanyuan already agreed to joining our Striking Heaven Alliance as one of the five deputy leaders.”
“Xuanyuan Zi Guang, long renowned.”
“Even Xuanyuan Zi Guang joined for the place of deputy leader. This Striking Heaven Alliance is powerful as expected.”
“I want to join. Don’t anyone stop me!”
Xuanyuan Zi Guang simply stared at Ling Han, and said, “Where’s Lady Helian?”
Ling Han stroked his chin—how did this guy recognize him? However, thinking again, Hu Niu was an obvious symbol—could there be a second little girl that could eat so much and fight so well?
He snorted, and said, “Defeated rival, none of your damn business?”
Vanquished opponent?
Everyone gasped in astonishment. Xuanyuan Zi Guang actually fought him hand to hand, and was outmatched?
Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s gaze grew threatening as he said, “If you don’t tell me Lady Helian’s whereabouts, I’ll kill you today!”
“Your intelligence is truly lacking, a defeated rival still dares to behave courageously?” Ling Han shook his head.
Xuanyuan Zi Guang took large strides towards Ling Han, and with each step, the heavens moved and the earth shook as if the stars in the skies couldn’t bear his presence and were about to fall. He extended his finger and pointed at Ling Han. “After the last exchange, how much do you think I improved?”
Pu, as he extended his finger, a Saber Ray formed, thin as gossamer, yet filled with danger.
Saber Ray!
Ling Han immediately felt an intense warning premonition. This wasn’t a pseudo-ray, but a genuine Saber Ray.
Could Xuanyuan Zi Guang have cultivated 30 flashes of Qi?
For such a genius, he definitely wouldn’t pursue transient power and neglect the future, so since he’d condensed it into a Ray, then he’d definitely cultivated 30 flashes of Qi.
Was he the first amongst the younger generation to cultivate 30 flashes of Qi and form a Ray?
One as powerful as Small Saber King still remained at 29 flashes of Qi.
This Xuanyuan Zi Guang was truly remarkable!
Ling Han didn’t believe that he could progress so fast on his own; whether it be Small Saber King or Yao Hui Yue, their talent was definitely no inferior to Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s, and possibly even surpassed his. Why could they not complete the breakthrough, and only Xuanyuan Zi Guang could?
It was probably this guy’s bloodline, which enabled him to forcibly increase battle prowess by several stars, and even derive all sorts of shadows of divine beasts.
Chapter 633

Faced with an authentic Saber Ray, what more when it was a Saber Ray that was formed from a total of 30 flashes of Qi, not even Ling Han dared to take it head on.
Ray was something surpassing Qi, an absolute domination, and the cutting edge that was unbelievably sharp, able to slice apart all in its path.
Even if Ling Han had managed to form the Body of Iron Sheet, he dared not try to take this strike head on. After all, this battle was not a mere spar, but could possibly develop into a fu
ll-blown duel to the death.
He smiled calmly, and said, “You have improved, so how could it be that I have not?” Zi, a flash of lightning flickered over his body, and he instantly disappeared from where he had originally been standing at a speed so fast that his movements could not be seen with the naked eye.
An expression of surprise appeared on Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s face; what kind of movement technique was that? How could it be so fast? Before he had made a move, he had already calculated Ling Han’s battle prowess in advance, and he believed that after he had combined his Qi into Ray, he could force Ling Han into a retreat in defeat. Ling Han should not even have the strength to parry his attacks.
But he had never thought that after a mere few months, Ling Han’s movement technique would actually have improved to a whole different level.
Indeed, he was not the only one who had improved.
“It’s more than enough to kill you!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang sneered. He drew his saber and slashed forth. This time, the Saber Ray shone brilliantly, and was as long as 300 meters. It transformed into something that resembled a waterfall, and swept towards Ling Han.
“Is that so?” Ling Han turned into a flash of lightning, and as he used the Demon Fairy Steps, he was as slippery as a fish, moving as nimbly as he liked. Moving his left arm into the form of a bow, his right hand pulled on empty air, and weng, instantly, an arrow formed of Origin Power appeared. It was completely white, but exuded a frightening cold air.
Exterminating Dragon Star Arrow.
“Go!” With a light humph, the arrow of Origin Power shot out. Xiu, in a flash, it had arrived in front of Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s chest.
One shouldn’t underestimate this single arrow, as it had the combined force of three different Mystical Powers.
The Eye of Truth saw through to the weakest point in Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s defenses; it was followed by the activation of the Exterminating Dragon Star Arrow, which was then sped up with the power of lightning, increasing the speed of this arrow to its maximum, which, at the same time, was shot towards the point that Xuanyuan Zi Guang would find the most difficult to defend.
Xuanyuan Zi Guang paled drastically, and at the first possible moment, activated his bloodline inheritance. Endless flames surged out from within his body, and in an instant, he had surpassed the level of the Flower Blossom Tier, and stepped onto the plane of the Spiritual Infant Tier.
Ancient divine beasts such as true dragons and true phoenixes roared around him. He looked like a son of Heaven that had descended onto the mortal plane, with the air of a supreme ruler.
Pu!
The arrow hit its target, yet did not pierce through Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s chest. There wasn’t even a sign of blood; it merely tore through the part of the clothing that covered his chest, and revealed a navy-blue armor. It was currently shining brightly, and had forcefully disintegrated the arrow of Origin Power.
“Hahahaha, destiny rides on my shoulders, and I can even pick up treasures while walking on the road. Since I am destined, how could I possibly be defeated in your hand?” Xuanyuan Zi Guang declared, laughing wildly. With a wave of his right hand, thirty-six treasured sabers of various shapes and sizes flew out, and surrounded Ling Han.
“Heaven Star Annihilating Saber Array!” he shouted.
“Here it is again. Every time you throw a move, you must announce its name. Don’t you get annoyed?” Ling Han mocked, though he did not dare to show the least bit of carelessness in his expression. This Saber Array was considerably terrifying, and possessed the ability to pose a threat to him.
“Tell me the location of Helian Xun Xue, or I will definitely kill you!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang took control of the Saber Array without immediately releasing its might, and merely looked coldly upon Ling Han.
“You’re crazy!” Ling Han refused in disdain. He drew his long sword, and the Desolate Hell Sword displayed its awesome power, standing steadfast against the terrifying saber intent.
“Heng, so you are planning to ask for trouble!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang declared coldly, and manipulated the Saber Array to charge at Ling Han.
Ling Han brandished his sword to parry the oncoming attack, but Xuanyuan Zi Guang was really very strong. Under the attack of Saber Ray, ferocious light was all that was left within the Saber Array, and every streak of light could become a mortal threat to any Flower Blossom Tier cultivator.
No, even Spiritual Infant Tier cultivators would be shaken. That was Saber Ray, after all, and the destructive power it possessed was really too terrifying.
Qi and Ray were on two completely different levels, just like how there was a large difference of power between Flower Blossom and Spiritual Infant Tiers.
Ling Han was having a really tough time staying on the defense. Thankfully, not only was he nimble, his defenses were also very shockingly powerful.
Firstly, he had Origin Power, which he could form into a defense. Additionally, he also had a physique on the level of Tier Six treasure metal, and even if these two layers were penetrated, he still had the Indestructible Heaven Scroll circulating inside his body, which would allow him to instantly heal majority of his injuries.
Worse come to worst, he still had six drops of Indestructible True Fluid, which was more than enough to revive him quite a number of times.
The Saber Ray ripped forth, and Ling Han cut a very sorry figure.
These thirty-six sabers should belong to a whole set, and belonged to some great cultivator from the ancient times, yet had, for some reason, fallen into Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s hands. Just like this guy had said, he could easily pick up treasures by merely going outside, so he was born with great luck.
‘F***, do you think you’re the only one with treasures?’
Ling Han humphed, and said, “Just some pieces of scrap metal, just see as I take them all in!”
“Just continue to brag!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang sneered coldly. “Tell me the location of Helian Xun Xue!” He could really be considered a romantic; it was apparent that Helian Xun Xue had not paid him much attention, but he still was deeply in love with her.
Ling Han flipped his right hand, and drew out the Heaven Transformation Bowl.
“Take them!” He activated the treasured item, and instantly, multiple interwoven patterns appeared. Weng, the stone bowl instantly rose into the air, and shone with endless light.
Xiu, xiu, xiu. Immediately, three treasured sabers were taken in.
‘What!?’
Everyone was struck completely dumb. They could all plainly see the might of the Saber Array, yet this stone bowl that Ling Han had drawn out could actually destroy the Saber Array and take in the treasured sabers; it was really an unbelievable sight.
Xuanyuan Zi Guang was even more dumbfounded. He was very clear about the power that these thirty-six treasured sabers had; after they were taken in by that stone bowl, he had completely lost all contact with them, as if they had completely disappeared from this plane of existence.
Xiu, xiu, xiu. A stone bowl did not have any kind of emotions; it merely continued to take in the treasured sabers, and in the time for a few breaths, it had taken in another seven sabers.
“This, this is…” Nong Man Man’s beautiful eyes shone. She recognized that this was the bottom of that Refine Celestial Bottle, which was something that she had her eye on. She had never thought that it was actually a stone bowl, and would actually possess such powerful might.
Her desire to obtain it increased.
Wang Yi Yun’s eyes narrowed as well. She imagined that if her Senior Brother Lang could obtain this treasure, he would be like a tiger that had grown wings; even the Little Saber King, Yao Hui Yue, or Dong Ling Er would easily be swept aside by Senior Brother Disciple Lang’s might.
However, how would she be able to obtain this treasure? Ling Han would bend to neither force nor persuasion, and was not that easily handled.
Xuanyuan Zi Guang hardened his heart, and shouted, “Explode!”
Weng, the remaining twenty-six
treasured sabers shone with a sharp light at the same time, and the patterns on their blades spread out as if they were cobwebs before instantly vanishing.
The Spirit Tool would self-explode!
Ling Han was astonished—what kind of Spirit Tool was capable of exploding by itself? Only those Spirit Tools that had formed their own Tool Spirits, but since they had formed their own Tool Spirits, the latter would be similar to ordinary living creatures, wherein life was their most important priority. Unless in desperate straits, they would definitely not self-explode.
For example, the Black Tower. If Ling Han actually wanted Small Tower to explode itself, just see if Small Tower would actually pay him any attention.
But with the command of Xuanyuan Zi Guang, these Spirit Tools all chose to explode at the same time, as if he was the ruler of the Spirit Tools. Now that his command was announced, they were unable to refuse.
F***, these Spirit Tools were Level Seven treasures, and were unable to express their full might in Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s hands, but the moment they exploded themselves… just imagine, if twenty-six high-level Spiritual Infant Tier cultivators chose to use their full might, and unleash a move that would kill themselves along with their enemies, how terrifying would the power of this blow be?
Without another word, Ling Han rode on lightning and tried his best to break out of the siege.

Peng!
Twenty-six treasured sabers exploded at the same time, and instantly became a blinding light in the skies. The terrifying power of the explosion descended, and peng, peng, peng, this side courtyard of the Wang Clan was instantly reduced to rubble.
So what if they were in the Flower Blossom Tier? Faced with the shock wave, they were all spitting up mouthfuls of blood, and Spiritual Pedestal Tier cultivators were even worse off. In the best case scenario, some were completely covered with blood, whereas those who came off worse had their bones broken and ligaments torn.
Being equivalent to twenty-six high level Spiritual Infant Tier elite cultivators sacrificing their lives in a full-out attack, the power of this strike was naturally very terrifying.
