Chapter 278 The King Meets the King

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan’s palm had already gently covered the mask wall.

“Chichi!”

As if it had sensed Xiao Yan’s arrival, a wave of resistance emanated from the mask wall. The terrifying defense brought by the mask wall alone was enough to withstand the full-strength attack of an ordinary Supreme Great Perfection.

Unless you are the Supreme Lord, it seems difficult to forcibly break through the mask wall and enter.

However, this Mask Wall couldn’t even stop Fu Zu and Yi Mo Huang back then, so how could he really stop Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yan saw gorgeous flames swirling in his palm, and then he made a casual stroke of his hand, and then flames began to swirl on the mask wall as well. Finally, the flame power belonging to the Profound Tian Continent took the initiative to disperse the energy of other attributes, and then a crack about ten feet in size appeared.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan slipped in without any hindrance. Afterwards, he waved his hand and repaired the crack again, healing it as if nothing had happened.

“Is this the Profound Sky Continent?”

Xiao Yan was standing in the void above the Tianxuan Continent, quietly overlooking the land beneath his feet. This was a vast plane that was even larger than the Douqi Continent. The moment he entered it, a mysterious wave had already appeared in his perception.

That kind of fluctuation was surprisingly the fluctuation that belonged only to the embryo of the plane. Ordinary strong men, even the Supreme Heavenly One, might not be able to feel this kind of fluctuation, but Xiao Yan was the one who had reached the pinnacle of the Great Way of Fire. The Great Way of Fire was a power that was even more advanced than the origin of the plane.

With his realm, the moment he entered the Tianxuan Continent, he had already felt the existence of the Plane Embryo.

Even if Xiao Yan was interested, he could go and refine the fetus of this dimension right now.

However, this opportunity was not something that he had to take.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan’s gaze once again turned to the vastest ocean on this continent. Here was the largest ocean in Tianxuan Continent, the Chaos Demon Sea.

At this moment, among the endless islands in the Chaos Demon Sea, a very powerful wave was madly gathering. With brilliant flames dancing in Xiao Yan’s eyes, he saw a huge halo of one hundred thousand feet in size across countless distant distances.

In the circle of light, a beautiful figure was standing quietly, her whole body covered with hazy ice crystals, like a beautiful ice sculpture.

Around her, the ocean of the Chaos Demon Sea was freezing madly, and a huge ice lotus with a diameter of one hundred thousand feet was slowly condensing.

“Is it the Ice Lord?”

Looking at that beautiful figure, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. He and Wu Zu were close friends, and he had met each other’s wife several times.

This woman was none other than the Ice Spirit Clan leader of the Great Thousand World, one of the wives of Martial Ancestor Lin Dong, the Ice Lord Ying Huanhuan.

“I didn’t expect that the Profound Sky Continent has been pushed to this extent, but it seems that I came at the right time.”

Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled. The matter of the Ice Lord back then had caused his good friend pain for who knows how many years. Now that he had come here, he naturally had to help resolve this regret.

Looking up, Xiao Yan saw that there was a tiny crack in the huge seal on the membrane wall of that world. There, a huge evil eye was staring at this world greedily.

The Demon Clan is considered to be an above average clan among the evil clans outside the domain. Although their strength is not as good as that of the Flame Demon Clan, they have more than one Demon Emperor. Their current clan leader should be a Mysterious Demon Emperor.

And this Yi Mo Emperor was the legitimate son of the Xuan Mo Emperor. It was precisely because of this that he was able to seize the power to attack the Tian Xuan Continent from several Demon Emperors of the Yi Mo clan.

Xiao Yan’s eyes flickered as he recalled the information about the Demon Clan in his mind.

A lower plane with the embryo of the plane is a very important strategic resource for both the great world and the evil clan outside the domain.

Because once the Embryo of the Plane is refined, not only will there be an extremely stable base, but an extremely good strong man can also be cultivated.

Refining the Embryo of the Plane is not as simple as enabling the Earth Supreme to reach Great Perfection and be promoted to the Heaven Supreme. Otherwise, how could Fu Zu and Yi Mo Huang, who had both reached the level of Heaven Supreme (Ghost Demon Emperor) back then, possibly covet this thing?

The real benefit of this item is that it can make the Supreme Lord of Heaven almost invincible here, almost second only to the holy items. Moreover, no matter where he is, as long as he is within the influence of the rules of the universe, he can quickly escape into his own plane.

Any plane lord is invincible in his own plane, unless he has the power to destroy a plane. Otherwise, once the plane lord returns to his own plane, no one can pose a threat to him. Fighting with him means fighting with an entire plane.

And destroying a higher plane is indeed something that only the Holy Product Supreme can do. Moreover, once this thing is refined, one can use the power of the entire plane to practice and comprehend, and the speed of practice is also indescribably fast.

In the vast world, a Heavenly Supreme who has refined the Embryo of the Planes will hardly encounter any major obstacles before becoming a holy item. It is for this reason that the Embryo of the Planes has become an important resource that countless Heavenly Supremes (Demon Emperors) compete for.

Once the Demon Emperor refines this plane fetus, he will become the second Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, and his ability to preserve his life will be among the best under the Demon Emperor.

It is precisely because of this that he is so greedy for the Tianxuan Continent. Even after being sealed by Fu Zu, he did not send a message to the Demon Clan requesting support.

He knew very well in his heart that if other Ghost Demon Emperors knew this news, this piece of cake might be divided up by others.

“He is just a small Ghost Demon Emperor. Even with my current strength, it is not difficult to kill him. I may even be able to use his power to reach the level of Heavenly Supreme.”

Xiao Yan’s eyes swept across the huge evil eye, and then looked at the huge ice lotus that was gradually condensing under his feet.

“Let’s go check on Brother Lin first. I hope this guy is not in seclusion right now.”

Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled, and in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Great Yan Dynasty, Qingyang Town.

The quaint town stands among the mountains and forests. It does not look very prosperous. Only the occasional bustling crowds on the streets can give the town a lively atmosphere.

At this moment, on this crowded street, a man and a woman were walking calmly on the street. Although it was so calm, passers-by couldn’t help but stop and take a look after seeing the two of them.

It was probably because the woman was so beautiful. Her every frown and smile made the whole town more beautiful. It was really hard to meet such a fairy in this small Qingyang town.

However, when everyone saw the young man in black with a calm expression beside him, they couldn’t help but be slightly startled. Some people even became excited after recognizing the young man’s appearance.

“It’s Lin Dong!”

“He is Lin Dong!”

Some people who had met this young man in black once became extremely excited at this moment, and around them, more people who had never seen the young man in black showed fanatical looks after hearing this name.

This name is not only the pride of Qingyang Town, but also the pride of the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

“I didn’t expect you to be so popular in Qingyang Town.”

Next to the young man, a beautiful woman who looked like a banished fairy had a smile on her face, causing the men around them to stare at her with a bit of obsession.

“It’s just a little fame I gained when I was young. It’s not worth mentioning.”

Lin Dong shook his head and smiled.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you back to the Lin family.”

The two of them walked hand in hand calmly on the street.

Ling Qingzhu didn’t say anything, but she could feel the huge pressure from the man beside her. Just when she was silently feeling sorry for this guy beside her, she keenly noticed that Lin Dong had suddenly stopped.

“what happened?”

Ling Qingzhu was slightly startled, and followed Lin Dong’s line of sight, and finally saw a handsome young man in a white robe at the end of the street.

For some reason, when the two stopped and looked at each other, Ling Qingzhu suddenly felt that the whole world was slowly fading away, as if there were only these two people left between heaven and earth.

The king meets the king!
For some reason, a sudden absurd thought came to Ling Qingzhu’s mind, and then he saw that the two of them had actually bowed to each other tacitly at this moment.

“Lin Dong!”

“Xiao Yan!”

Then, she heard the young man’s hearty laughter.

“Brother Lin, can you have a drink with me?”

“Why is this person so weird? Why does he want to drink with me as soon as we meet?”

Ling Qingzhu frowned slightly and was about to say something when she saw Lin Dong actually nodding with a smile.

Seeing this, she said no more and returned to the Lin family with Lin Dong. Beside the two of them, the young man in white was laughing and talking calmly, and even seemed to know Lin Dong very well.

After returning to the deserted Lin family’s old house, Xiao Yan said no more and just let Lin Dong take Ling Qingzhu to meet some family members. Only when Lin Dong introduced his new friend did Xiao Yan reveal a gentle and kind smile on his face.

Then, he followed Lin Dong to the back mountain of the Lin family.

This back mountain looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time. It was overgrown with weeds, swaying wildly in the oncoming breeze.

Xiao Yan’s gaze fell on the several houses on the back mountain. Although they looked simple, they were extremely tidy.

In front of the house, there were wooden stakes deeply driven into the ground, on top of which, one could faintly see palm prints.

Xiao Yan stared at these wooden stakes. Although he didn’t know the details of what had happened here, he could vaguely guess some of the stories.

I think that many years ago, there was a thin and young boy here who persevered and sweated profusely while practicing the most basic martial arts over and over again every day.

Perhaps he also has some frustrating story in his heart, just like the young man who carried the Xuanzhong ruler on his back, gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation as he stepped into the Warcraft Mountains step by step.

The story may be very different, but the young men at that time might have simply been striving for a small goal. They would never have thought that they would become one of the top powers in this universe many years later.

Lin Dong slowly closed his eyes, his face full of fatigue.

Compared to Xiao Yan, he didn’t know how great his future achievements would be. He only knew that there was a hurdle in front of him that was almost impossible to cross.

Even though he is so powerful, what good can he do? He can’t help the one he loves, nor can he resist the enemy who seems to have almost no chance of winning.

At this moment, a hint of wine inexplicably came to his nose.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the young man in white had placed a jar of wine in front of him.

“Finish this meal and do what you should do.”

The young man in white raised his eyebrows. Lin Dong was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“it is good!”

The breeze blows on the hills and the bright moon shines on the river.

Under the moonlight, Ling Qingzhu looked at the men drinking at the table. In addition to Xiao Yan, Lin Dong also called his two brothers over.

Then, the four of them began to drink without restraint.

Men are always so inexplicable. They have never met each other before and it is just their first meeting, but why can they get along so well, as if they are brothers who haven’t seen each other for many years.

Ling Qingzhu didn’t quite understand. She just sat quietly on a big tree, watching the man get drunk.

After drinking like this, it was dawn the next day.

“Brother Xiao, it seems that you are not from this world. Could your purpose of coming here be the same as that of Fu Zu back then?”

With golden light shining on his face, Lin Dong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of drunkenness.

“Haha, I’m indeed not from this world, but don’t worry, I’m on your side.”

Xiao Yan smiled calmly.

“Just do it with confidence. I can help you temporarily, but I can’t help you forever. If you want to protect what you want to protect, you can’t always rely on others.”

“Only when you reach what you call the ancestral realm can you truly have the power to protect this world.”

“As for this time, consider it as me doing you a small favor. Just focus on your retreat and break through. Leave the rest to me.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong’s expression froze for a moment. After a long moment, he finally couldn’t help but bow to Xiao Yan.

“Thank you!”

Xiao Yan said nothing and accepted it calmly.

A few days later, Lin Dong sat cross-legged on the edge of a cliff in the back mountain. He was surrounded by clouds and mist, and a group of relatives and friends stood quietly beside him.

He and Ling Qingzhu looked at each other, and then tacitly entered a state of seclusion.

On the top of the mountain behind, Xiao Yan sat alone, quietly watching the scene without saying a word.

To go through the samsara tribulation is an extremely dangerous method of cultivation in this world. Of course, every time they go through the samsara tribulation, their strength will be greatly improved.

With Xiao Yan’s means, he actually had many ways to help Lin Dong, but he did not lend a hand.

He believed that this man who could always walk side by side with him would not be hindered by this little difficulty.

If his help is needed in such matters, it would be like forcing things to happen, and would instead destroy the soaring arrogance of a hero.

He just stared quietly at the plane crack in the distance that was gradually shrouded by demonic energy, without any ripples in his eyes, as if he was looking at a mouse trying to get in.

Sitting alone on the mountain top.
