Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1998 - 1980: Alright, I’ll Take You There!

After listening to Li Xing, Fang Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had already been suspicious, and now he was even more certain that this was likely the case. Judging by the current signs, this seemed the most probable. With this being the case, his next task was much simpler: to find out exactly what kind of special formation it was, determine where the formation was set up, and if possible, destroy it.

Once these thoughts were confirmed in his heart, Fang Yan paid no more heed to them. He suddenly remembered Li Xing’s injuries and asked, "Senior Brother, how did you get hurt?"

"Sigh, don’t even mention it. I was exploring on the Divine Origin Continent and discovered some ruins. Just as I was about to explore them, a few guys suddenly appeared and severely injured me. If I hadn’t run fast, I might have been killed right there." Hearing Fang Yan mention this, Li Xing felt so frustrated he could die. He slowly recounted the incident, feeling utterly ashamed that he was almost killed by a surprise attack from a few guys. It was a massive embarrassment.

These words, however, shocked Fang Yan. He could roughly discern Li Xing’s strength, which was at the Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. With such strength, he was nearly invincible on the Divine Origin Continent. How could he be ambushed and injured so severely? If not for meeting him, Li Xing might have been dead long ago!

Thinking this, Fang Yan asked Li Xing, "Senior Brother, tell me the truth, what exactly happened? With your strength, the people here shouldn’t be a match for you, right?"

Fang Yan was truly puzzled. Li Xing cultivated the Xuanyuan Imperial Dragon Art just like his true self, Lin Feng. Lin Feng can now easily defeat any Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse. So why was Li Xing severely injured? Could it be that Li Xing faced not Earth Immortal Realm but Heavenly Immortal Realm powerhouses?

"Don’t mention it. The three guys I encountered this time were all Old Monsters at the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. I don’t know how they came here, but I can confirm that these three Old Monsters definitely aren’t from the Divine Origin Continent!" Speaking of this, Li Xing became enraged, scowling as he spoke. He couldn’t understand why three old guys in the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm would show up here.

"Three Old Monsters from the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm? And they’re not from the Divine Origin Continent?" Fang Yan, after hearing Li Xing’s words, immediately thought of the Hidden Kill. Aren’t the three Heavenly Level Assassins of Hidden Kill just three old guys from the Earth Immortal Realm? These three old guys never show their faces, and no one knows how long they have lived. Thinking this, Fang Yan quickly asked, "Were those three guys masked? And were they all wearing black robes with silver headscarves?"

He really hoped he was wrong. Back when he killed the Earth Level Assassin Tian Lang from Hidden Kill, it was already extremely challenging for him. Now, if he were to face three late Earth Immortal Realm guys, he really didn’t have the confidence, especially since these three might really be the three Heavenly Level Assassins of Hidden Kill, unparalleled in assassination techniques!

"Yes, how do you know?" Li Xing was taken aback by Fang Yan’s words and responded. He was genuinely puzzled about how Fang Yan knew the specifics about these three guys. What was going on, and had Fang Yan guessed the opponents’ identity?

"Do you know who they are?" Li Xing looked at Fang Yan, eventually unable to resist asking. Since Fang Yan could describe these details, it was likely that Fang Yan had already figured out their identities. If so, they could determine it first and then make other plans accordingly.

"If my guess is correct, those three old guys should be the three Heavenly Level Assassins from Hidden Kill. Senior Brother, you should have heard of what kind of organization Hidden Kill is, right?" Fang Yan held nothing back at this point, explaining the identities of these three individuals to let Li Xing understand the kind of opponents they were facing.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Song Xing’s face changed dramatically. He didn’t expect that those three old guys were the three Heavenly Level Assassins of Hidden Kill. There are only three Heavenly Level Assassins of Hidden Kill. Why didn’t he consider this? In the past, these three Heavenly Level Assassins had slaughtered sects with Ancestors in the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. That battle made Hidden Kill’s reputation resound across the world!

And now, more than a hundred years later, who knows to what extent these three old guys’ strength has improved. And they are appearing here now; could there be some unspeakable affairs going on?

"Fang Yan, do you think the way the Divine Origin Continent has become is related to these three old guys?" Thinking of this, Li Xing immediately voiced his speculation.

But Li Xing’s words left Fang Yan dumbfounded, looking at Fang Yan with wide eyes and immediately asking, "What, wasn’t the Divine Origin Continent like this originally?"

"Of course not. When I arrived, it was fine. Just half a month ago, a storm capable of destroying everything suddenly appeared and turned the entire Divine Origin Continent into this state. And now these three old guys have appeared, and even that relic has emerged. I feel it should be these three old guys’ manipulation that revealed the relic to the world."

At this time, Li Xing quickly supplemented his story. He understood what Fang Yan meant. He was also puzzled about the situation. Initially, he hadn’t thought along these lines, but now the plot seemed clear. These three old guys knew the secret of the Divine Origin Continent and came here to use special methods to open the relic, causing the entire continent to suffer such a catastrophe.

"So, these three old guys are truly ambitious!" Fang Yan, having listened to Li Xing, immediately understood the implications and exclaimed. However, he then set his sights on the relic. Hidden Kill had attempted to assassinate him several times, so how could he just allow these three old guys to take the treasure? If he could have it, it would be great. If not, then he wouldn’t let the others have it either.

Thinking this, he asked Li Xing, "Senior Brother, can you still find that relic?"

"Of course I can find it. You’re planning to go?" Li Xing, hearing Fang Yan’s words, immediately realized what Fang Yan intended and quickly said, "Fang Yan, you shouldn’t go to that place. It’s too dangerous, especially with those three old guys there. You’ll gain nothing even if you go."

Li Xing was genuinely worried for Fang Yan. In his current realm, he could easily see that Fang Yan was only in the Middle Stage of the Human Immortal Realm. If Li Xing, in the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, almost died, then Fang Yan, with his level of strength, would surely die if he went. Thus, he couldn’t let Fang Yan go under any circumstance.

"Senior Brother, don’t worry. I’m your junior brother’s doppelganger. Even if I really encounter late-stage Earth Immortal powerhouses, I can’t defeat them, but I can protect myself. Besides, I’ve previously killed more than one Earth Immortal powerhouse." Fang Yan looked at Li Xing, understanding his concern, and explained to alleviate Li Xing’s worries so he could take him to see the relic.

"You’ve killed Earth Immortal powerhouses?" Li Xing was stunned by Fang Yan’s words. A Middle Stage Human Immortal defeating an Earth Immortal powerhouse seemed impossible. Even in his prime, he couldn’t have accomplished such a feat.

"Indeed, and I was at the early stage of the Human Immortal Realm at that time. See this..." Seeing Li Xing’s disbelief, Fang Yan replied simply, then showcased the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art, conjuring a Sunburst radiating crimson light in his hand. Instantly, the surrounding space began to tremble, and the temperature soared. The danger was palpable, even for Li Xing!

"What is this...?" Li Xing looked at the Sunburst in Fang Yan’s hand in shock and said, "This is Divine Sword Sect’s Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art!"

Feeling the searing heat, as though capable of melting everything, Li Xing was greatly stunned. He hadn’t expected Fang Yan to have learned the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art. This technique was known by only a few in the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, and its power far exceeded typical spells. He had witnessed an Elder from the Divine Sword Sect use this Art in combat long ago.

Nine Suns Suppression Heaven, divided into nine layers, with each layer adding another Sunburst. When all nine Suns appear, nothing under heaven can withstand it, incinerating all realms! At the thought that his junior brother’s doppelganger had such strength, even he was speechless. With a doppelganger like this, how terrifying would the true junior brother be...

"Fang Yan, what level have you reached?" Li Xing suppressed his internal turmoil and asked, wanting to know how advanced Fang Yan’s cultivation was to gauge whether to visit the relic.

"The fifth layer," Fang Yan replied to Li Xing with a smile, "Senior Brother, you needn’t doubt my strength anymore."

Damn, he’s reached the fifth layer!

Li Xing, hearing this, was wide-eyed in disbelief. Internally, he screamed, recalling that only one person in the history of the Divine Sword Sect had reached the fifth layer of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art, the founder of the Sect. Even the current Founding Ancestor, Sky Sword Ancestor, had only reached the fourth layer!

Now, with Fang Yan achieving the fifth layer, was this guy even human? It was too overwhelming! Just a doppelganger could achieve this; what kind of prodigy was that junior brother!

"Alright, I’ll take you!" Gazing at Fang Yan, Li Xing finally relented. Fang Yan was already so formidable that there was no need to worry about him. With that, it was worth taking a look, refusing to let the enemy take all the benefits!

Having said this, Li Xing immediately soared into the sky, taking Fang Yan toward the distance...
