4599 A Huge Commotion
Although Xiao Mu Bai was only an imminent World supreme powerhouse, he was the face of the God Defying World. He was usually responsible for liaising with powerhouses from the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.
The World supreme powerhouses and Saints from the Myriad Worlds and Outer Boundary could not easily contact Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang. However, they really wanted to form a good relationship with the duo. As such, they would look for Xiao Mu Bai when they visited the God Defying World.
Although they were stronger than Xiao Mu Bai, they treated him courteously like an equal without any arrogance. In their opinion, having a good relationship with Xiao Mu Bai and the God Defying World was part of forming a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang. As the Lord of the God Defying World, there was no doubt in their minds that Xiao Mu Bai was familiar with Duan Ling Tian Feng Qing Yang. In their opinion, there was no harm in befriending Xiao Mu Bai at all.
For this reason, as soon as news spread about Fang Yi Fan’s death in the Transcendence World, a World supreme powerhouse from the Transcendence World came to the God Defying World to share the news with Xiao Mu Bai.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up after listening to Xiao Mu Bai’s words. He said, “It seems like even with three Heaven Protection Talismans, it’s still not easy to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation.”
“Indeed,” Xiao Mu Bai said with a sigh. A complicated expression could be seen on his face at this moment.
Back then, when Meng Han from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion overcame the Saint’s Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and became the third level-seven supreme powerhouse after Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang, Xiao Mu Bai felt that he had a chance in becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse after he became a World supreme powerhouse and obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman from the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
However, when Xiao Mu Bai found out that Meng Hang was rewarded with an additional Heaven Protection Talisman, which contributed greatly to his success, his anticipation and excitement vanished immediately. The flames of motivation that had just risen in the depths of his heart were also immediately extinguished.
However, when Lei Hong from the Sun Bright World successfully overcame the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, Xiao Mu Bai saw a ray of hope again. Alas, it seemed like heaven was playing a joke on him. After Lei Hong, no one successfully overcame the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and became a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
Xiao Mu Bai was dealt another blow when he received news of the death of Fang Yi Fan from the Transcendence World who was on par with Lei Hong in the past.
“I heard that Lei Hong only returned decades after his breakthrough… It seems like even his new vital energy could not completely heal his injuries in a short time… Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hidden for so long,” Duan Ling Tian said. After hearing about Fang Yi Fan’sd death due to the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, it was not hard for him to come to this conclusion.
“That’s right. Lei Hong must have survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation by a hair’s breadth,” Xiao Mu Bai said, nodding in agreement.
Xiao Mu Bai also knew that Meng Han was injured by the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. However, thanks to four Heaven Protection Talismans, his injuries were not serious. After his vital energy changed, he was able to heal his injuries in a short time.
Duan Ling Tian naturally knew about this as well since Meng Han came to spar with him shortly after his breakthrough.
…
In the Transcendence World.
A silent and gloomy atmosphere shrouded Fang Yi Fan’s sect. The sect was the first to find out about his death.
As soon as he died, someone from the sect discovered his shattered Soul Pearl and confirmed his death.
When the news reached the ears of the other World supreme powerhouse in the sect, he broke down in tears. After all, Fang Yi Fan was his disciple. Fang Yi Fan was a prodigy and had long surpassed him. Unexpectedly, Fang Yi Fan would leave before him.
After grieving, he forced himself to calm down. He quickly dealt with a few matters in the sect before he left the sect in a hurry. Now that Fang Yi Fan was dead, he no longer dared to stay in the sect.
Previously, Lei Hong had visited the sect, and he had received Lei Hong. Although Lei Hong was friendly, he could sense Lei Hong’s killing intent. It was only when he told Lei Hong that his disciple was not in the sect that Lei Hong’s killing intent vanished. He knew that it was very likely that Lei Hong would return as soon as Lei Hong found out about Fang Yi Fan’s death. This time, Lei Hong definitely would have no qualms about killing him and destroying the sect. After all, previously, Lei Hong was afraid that Fang Yi Fan would successfully become a level-seven supreme powerhouse and seek revenge from him. Now that Fang Yi Fan died, Lei Hong no longer had anything to fear.
Among the two World supreme powerhouses of the sect, one died, and the other went into hiding. This unsurprisingly caused a huge commotion in the sect.
“How could this have happened? Why?!”
“That’s right! Lei Hong from the Cyan Swan Saint Sect overcame the Fatal Heaven Tribulation and became a level-seven supreme powerhouse! Why did Patriarch Fang, who was on par with him, fail?”
“Is it possible that Lei Hong killed Patriarch Fang?”
“I think that’s possible. After all, Lei Hong frequently looked for Patriarch Fang to spar with in the past, and their fights always ended in a draw. There’s no reason why Lei Hong survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation but Patriarch Fang did not!”
…
The sect was in a mess after Fang Yi Fan’s death. Not long after, they began to make preparations for his funeral,
During the funeral, many top forces from the Transcendence World came to offer their condolences.
The news quickly spread to the other two Upper Worlds, the Sun Bright World and the Primordial World.
As such Lei Hong was also in attendance at the funeral. He was naturally delighted when he found out about Fang Yi Fan’s death. He thought to himself, feeling slightly regretful, ‘What a pity Fang Yi Fan’s master has left. Otherwise, I’d kill him after everyone leaves. I really didn’t expect Fang Yi Fan to be killed by the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, I would’ve killed his master when I visited previously!’
…
During the funeral in the Transcendence World where many powerhouses from the Upper Three Worlds gathered, the news of Fang Yi Fan’s death finally spread to the Outer Boundary and the 18 Middle Worlds.
Everyone was naturally shocked and frightened.
“Fang Yi Fan, the top World supreme powerhouse in the Transcendence World, failed to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation?”
“Fang Yi Fan, who’s comparable to the strongest Saints in the Outer Boundary, is dead?”
