Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Fang Yuan's expression finally turned serious. Chaotic light and bloodlust intertwined, forming layers of barriers, and his figure flickered like a ghost.

Boom boom boom!

The sounds of impact, as dense as thunder, echoed through the ruins!

Golden and chaotic crimson light clashed wildly.

Liu Feng completely abandoned his defense, and new wounds kept appearing on his body, but he seemed to feel no pain. His attacks were like a storm, and for a time he forced Fang Yuan to retreat.

Finally, after what seemed like the umpteenth exchange of blows, Liu Feng seized an opening in Fang Yuan's defenses, and his fist, burning with golden flames, landed squarely on Fang Yuan's chest.

thud

Fang Yuan's body trembled violently, the chaotic aura protecting him flickered intensely, his face turned pale, and he felt a slight sweetness in his throat.

He was so struck by the punch that his blood and qi surged, and he felt a sharp pain in his sternum. He was forced to retreat several hundred feet before he could regain his footing.

Although Fang Yuan immediately used his profound internal energy to suppress the discomfort, there was no doubt that he was injured!

He was injured in a direct fight by someone he had previously ambushed and seriously wounded!

After Liu Feng threw this punch, his momentum plummeted like an avalanche, the burning golden light dimmed rapidly, and he staggered backward, almost unable to stand, relying entirely on his willpower to hold on.

"Good, very good! You truly are a worthy opponent that I, Fang Yuan, value!" Fang Yuan was not angry after being injured; instead, he smiled.

"Liu Feng, I'm increasingly looking forward to your origin!"

As he spoke, his imposing aura continued to escalate, "So, are you ready to die?!"

After saying that, he threw a punch at Liu Feng. The fist light tore through the sky and shattered space. This punch was more terrifying than any of his previous attacks.

Clearly, Fang Yuan used his true skills here.

Come on!

Liu Feng roared, disregarding his serious injuries, and was about to fight to the death when Lin Qingyue suddenly sacrificed herself to shield him.

Her Star Moon Divine Body dimmed, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she burned the remaining starlight, moonlight, and life essence to form a barrier.

"Qingyue, no!" Liu Feng's pupils shrank, and he roared. He tried to push her away, but it was too late!

Fang Yuan's fist slammed into the Star Moon Barrier.

Crack! The barrier shattered.

The fist pierced through the light spot and landed heavily on Lin Qingyue's back.

"Ugh..." Lin Qingyue groaned, her body falling forward as blood gushed out.

"Qingyue, Qingyue!" Liu Feng caught her cold body, his eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was trembling, and the remaining golden blood energy began to burn desperately.

"Go...survive!" Lin Qingyue whispered weakly, her unfocused gaze fixed on Liu Feng's face.

"Go quickly... Don't worry about me, I can't live anymore, and I don't want to live anymore. Don't let Wan'er and the other two die in vain..."

From the moment Lin Qingyue learned that Yang Zhao was Fang Yuan and had killed her friend Su Wan'er and Ao Fu, her heart died.

Lin Qingyue forcefully pushed Liu Feng away, shoving him outside.

"Please, go! Don't seek revenge for us, just live on!"

Liu Feng looked at Fang Yuan, who was approaching step by step, then at Lin Qingyue, who was seriously injured and dying, and then at the corpses of Su Wan'er and Ao Fu in the distance.

The boundless pain nearly tore his soul apart.

"Ah!" A beastly roar came from Liu Feng's mouth.

But Lin Qingyue's final words suppressed her frenzied hatred!

He knew that fighting desperately at this moment was pointless.

Escape! We must escape, and then take revenge!

"Fang Yuan!" Liu Feng stared intently at Fang Yuan, his voice hoarse.

"If I don't kill you in this lifetime, I, Liu Feng, swear I'm not worthy of being called a man!"

He took one last look at Lin Qingyue, who was determined to die, then transformed into a golden streak of light and rushed toward the edge of the great formation.

"A touching sacrifice," Fang Yuan said indifferently, "but it's all for naught. Today, none of you will escape."

He raised his hand and pointed in the air in the direction Liu Feng had fled.

"Senluo Finger".

A dark red finger beam shot out, dissolving space and heading straight for Liu Feng's back!

Just as the fingertip was about to pierce through his body, Liu Feng's dim Xuan Yang Qi and blood spontaneously erupted once again!

Boom! A flash of golden light collided with the dark red finger beam.

With a hiss, the golden light was eroded and worn away, and the power of the finger beam was greatly reduced, but the remaining force still hit Liu Feng.

"Pfft!" Liu Feng coughed up blood, his figure swayed violently, and a terrible wound appeared on his back, so deep that bone was visible. His golden bones made a hissing sound, but he endured it!

Using the impact, it crashed into the array's fluctuating node at an even faster speed!

A buzzing sound emanated from the blood-red light curtain, which rippled violently.

The last bit of power within Liu Feng's body, along with the indomitable will of the Xuan Yang King Body, exploded, tearing a crack in the light screen!

A flash of golden light, and it burst out of the formation, disappearing into the night. Only a pool of golden blood remained.

Fang Yuan stood still and did not pursue.

He looked down at the throbbing pain in his chest, then gazed in the direction where Liu Feng had disappeared, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Even in such a desperate situation, he was able to withstand my attacks and then forcefully break through the weakest point of the formation to escape."

Fang Yuan muttered to himself, "The Profound Yang King Body, Liu Feng, you are indeed formidable."

"You're lucky this time, but..." Fang Yuan turned around, his gaze sweeping over the corpses of Su Wan'er and Ao Fu, as well as the critically injured and dying Lin Qingyue.

"My gains are enough. As for Liu Feng... if not today, there's always next time."

Fang Yuan turned around and walked towards Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue did not run away, but just looked at Fang Yuan, tears streaming down her face.

"Will you do it yourself or should I?" Fang Yuan asked, his voice calm and devoid of emotion, as if he were addressing an insignificant stranger.

Lin Qingyue smiled, a beautiful and poignant smile.

She reached out, her hand trembling, and touched Fang Yuan's face.

"Even though you're not Brother Yang... I still..." her voice trailed off, "...like you..."

Then his hands fell limp, and he breathed his last.

Fang Yuan stood there, letting her blood stain his face.

"Feelings... are such fragile and useless things."

He bent down, dug out Lin Qingyue's Yin essence, and began to refine it.

When the grand formation was pushed to its limit, it devoured all the life force of the entire star, transforming it into the purest energy, which flowed into his body.

Fang Yuan's strength is constantly improving!

A moment later, Fang Yuan left the utterly silent star.

He glanced back and saw only three desiccated corpses.

"The path to enlightenment is destined to be lonely. Friends? Beauties? They are all burdens."

His path was sealed the moment he killed his cousin when he was a child; there was no turning back.

He knew clearly what he wanted, and he also knew clearly that the paths people take are not replicable.

He walks his own path in life, and no matter how great the storms have been over the years, making it difficult for him to move forward, or how many thorns have pierced him and left him scarred, he still has no regrets!

Even if he were to die at someone else's hands the next moment, he would not regret it or be afraid.

Fang Yuan turned around and disappeared into the starry sky.

The news spread quickly.

"The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven has reappeared, slaughtering three of the world's greatest talents, including Lin Qingyue, the Star Moon Divine Body!"

The heavens erupted in uproar.

Countless people were furious, especially the forces behind Su Wan'er and Lin Qingyue, who issued a kill order, vowing to tear Fang Yuan to pieces.

Fang Yuan fought his way through battles, slaughtered his way through battles, and grew stronger along the way.

"Cultivation is about seizing the creation of heaven and earth and competing for the opportunities of all living beings." Fang Yuan once laughed wildly at the crowd surrounding and killing him on an ancient battlefield.

"You call yourselves righteous, but how much blood have you spilled? You're just wearing a mask. I, Fang Yuan, have no need to explain my actions to others. I only seek my conscience and power. Whoever dares to stand in my way, I will kill!"

He fought his way up to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and no one could stop him!
