Fan Tian found it hard to believe. Not cultivating any realms meant that these people weren't following the conventional path. It would be understandable if it were just one or two people. But a whole family? That can't be possible. But what if that's the case? Fan Tian's brows furrowed at that thought. The Yang Family's strength had far exceeded his expectations. What puzzled him more was how such a group of top-tier cultivators could exist without the Main Universe having a clue about them. Could they have come from an even stronger universe? Fan Tian looked at Ye Guan in the distance and retracted his thoughts. There was no point in thinking about all these now. At this juncture, power would decide everything. Today would be a battle of life or death. In the distance, the battle between An Nanjing and the Great Daoist Brush Master grew increasingly intense. An Nanjing was completely suppressing him, as every punch and thrust of her spear was honed to the extreme. Her martial strength was overwhelming. A continuous bombardment of martial intent would shatter anyone else, but the Great Daoist Brush Master was enduring it somehow. The Great Daoist Brush Master's Dao existed beyond the Great Dao itself. It was entirely different from anyone else's. Nobody had witnessed anything like it before, but it allowed him to withstand An Nanjing's relentless assault. Ye Guan watched with a solemn face. He knew fully well that the Great Daoist Brush Master wasn't in his true body. It's only an avatar, and yet his avatar is already so powerful. And how many clones does the Great Daoist Brush Master have? He has too many cards up his sleeve! A deafening roar erupted. A pocket of pitch-black spacetime collapsed, and the Great Daoist Brush Master was blasted into a strange region of spacetime. Dao Xiao and the others were stunned. Why had the Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly entered the Void Spacetime? They looked toward the grand hall ahead. It was also in the same Void Spacetime. Could it be that the Void Spacetime wasn't created by the mysterious figure? Ye Guan frowned as he compared the two Void Spacetimes. He noticed a difference. One lay under the endless spacetime, while the other was above it. The Void Spacetime that contained the grand hall seemed to float on a lake's surface. It looked accessible. On the other hand, the Void Spacetime that the Great Daoist Brush Master had fallen into was hidden in the depths. It was only visible once countless layers were broken to access it. Ye Guan gazed intently at the grand hall. Though the Void Spacetime wasn't created by the mysterious figure, it was undeniably terrifying that someone had brought it from the depths to cultivate it. The fact that it was done effortlessly was even more shocking. Inside the Void Spacetime, the Great Daoist Brush Master looked at his hand. It was full of cracks from his previous clash with An Nanjing. He glanced at her in the distance with his brows furrowed. She could actually suppress his Great Dao purely with martial arts. He had clearly been underestimating her all these years! Just then, An Nanjing entered the Void Spacetime. She faced the Great Daoist Brush Master from afar. This time, she wasn't wielding a spear. She embodied the pinnacle of martial arts—the very essence of its ultimate form, so she needed no weapon to make a move. The Great Daoist Brush Master's gaze turned cautious. An Nanjing suddenly threw a punch. With a single punch, the Void Spacetime immediately became turbulent. The Great Daoist Brush Master's pupils shrank. He spread his palms and roared, "Come at me!" Countless streams of Great Dao energy poured into the Void Spacetime. Under everyone's watch, the Void Spacetime shattered and turned pitch-black. At the same time, the Boundary Domain began to boil like water. Terrifying auras swept out from every corner, suffocating everyone nearby. Everyone was horrified. As they braced against the pressure, they stared at the crumbling Void Spacetime and held their breath. Fan Tian and the others were clearly nervous. In their eyes, the outcome of this fight would determine the result of the war. Just then, white light shone from within the shattered Void Spacetime. More and more rays of white light streamed out, and strange little worlds twinkled within those lights. Everyone was confused. Then, the lights dimmed and vanished completely. A mysterious force had repaired the broken Void Spacetime! Everyone was astonished. Ye Guan turned to Erya and asked, "Do you know what that was?" Erya licked her hawthorn candy. "No idea." Little White waved her tiny paws. "You know what's happening?" Ye Guan asked. Little White quickly waved again. Ye Guan turned to Erya. Erya explained, "She said she saw light. That was light." Sui Gujin stared at the Void Spacetime with her brows furrowed. Clearly, there was a layer of spacetime beyond the Void Spacetime. She suddenly thought of the spacetime within Ye Guan's tiny pagoda. What kind of spacetime was that? Within the Void Spacetime, An Nanjing and the Great Daoist Brush Master stood facing each other. The Great Daoist Brush Master's face was grim. His avatar was simply not powerful enough to tear An Nanjing down. Moreover, if he wasn't careful, he could get beaten to death! The Great Daoist Brush Master said, "Lady An, continuing this fight is pointless. Why not stop and let the younger generation take over?" "Sure!" Erya quipped. "I'm part of the younger generation. Sister An, let me play with him along with Little White!" The Great Daoist Brush Master's expression stiffened. An Nanjing gave him a glance and said, "Alright." With that, she turned and left the Void Spacetime. Erya jumped up in joy. She took a look at the top-tier cultivators in the battlefield and grinned. "Come on, which one of you wants to play?" It was finally her time to shine. Fan Tian and the others said nothing. After witnessing the fight earlier, no one dared to underestimate her. There was no doubt that she was also a powerful elite. But who would be the first to make a move? Seeing that everyone was silent, Erya frowned. "What's going on? No one wants to play?" Dao Xiao slowly stepped out, and everyone turned to look at him. However, he pointed at Ye Guan and said, "I'll fight with him." "Shameless! Hahaha!" Ye Guan chuckled before continuing, "I've finally met someone more shameless than the Great Daoist Brush Master." The Great Daoist Brush Master scowled, "Let's not get personal here, traitor!" Ye Guan laughed and suggested, "It's boring to fight one-on-one. Let's just do a group battle." "Good idea!" Erya clapped excitedly. "I'll go first!" She charged at Dao Xiao immediately afterward. The spacetime between heaven and earth was torn open around her. Dao Xiao's face dropped. He knew she could fight, but he never expected her to be this powerful. Even before she arrived in front of him, the energy she emanated was already suffocating him. Dao Xiao's body became illusory as his Void Dao Physique appeared. In the face of Erya's punch, he had no means to retreat and could only take it head-on. Erya's fist force had already enveloped him. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and with a snarl, he threw a punch straight toward her. The two forces clashed with an explosive force. Dao Xiao was blown away, and his right arm burst into a bloody mist in mid-air. When he finally stopped, half of his fleshly body was gone. A single punch had shattered his Void Dao Physique! Everyone else was shocked. How come the Void Dao Physique was destroyed so effortlessly by that little girl? The Grand Preceptor sternly said, "Her strength is... terrifying." She was the embodiment of pure, brute strength! Mu Shanhe was also dumbfounded. He had never seen so many top-tier cultivators gathered in a single place. Damn! It's better to keep a low profile and remain humble. The outside world is just too dangerous! Erya glanced at Dao Xiao and shook her head. "You're too weak." Then, she looked at the Great Daoist Brush Master and said, "Hurry up and send someone stronger." The Great Daoist Brush Master shot her a look. She was too outrageous. Erya then turned to look at Dao Xiao, to find that he had already retreated back to Fan Tian's side. Though he could still fight, he knew better than to challenge her again. She had an absurd amount of strength. When Dao Xiao backed down, Erya clicked her tongue and looked at the rest. Her eyes landed on Fan Tian. "You," she said, pointing at him. Fan Tian didn't refuse. With a step forward, golden light surged right up to Erya. Erya responded by stomping down hard. The golden light shattered. Then, she launched a punch at him. Fan Tian didn't back down. Instead, he threw a punch of his own. His punch carried the power of his Dao, and fist intent flowed endlessly toward his arm. The countless lives of the Brahma Heaven Kingdom were the very source of his fist's intent. The moment his fist clashed with Erya's, however, it immediately shattered. Fan Tian was sent flying away as well. He was no match for her! When Fan Tian finally stopped, his brows furrowed. Her single punch had scattered his fist intent. He was about to strike again when the doors of the grand hall swung open. The Great Daoist Brush Master grinned. He was stalling for this very moment.
