Tan Yun frowned slightly at Xuan Yuan Rou’s words but quickly composed himself.
“I understand, but I have to take this risk,” he replied with determination.
“Remember, I will be right behind you,” she reassured him.
With a deep breath, Tan Yun focused his gaze on the woman before him. Her aura was imposing, and he could sense the power radiating from her.
As the six eighth-rank saint kings positioned themselves around Xuan Yuan Rou, she nodded and prepared to execute the plan.
The tension in the air was palpable as the confrontation was about to begin. Tan Yun's heart raced, but he steeled himself, knowing that he had to emerge victorious to protect those he cared about.
“Prepare for battle!”
“Heart of Primordial Chaos God-Slaying Sword Formation!”
In an instant, eleven primordial chaos divine swords, including Golden Mercy, Muxin, Clear Shadow, Huo Wu, and Qian Chen, shot out from Tan Yun's brow and rapidly dispersed, forming the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation in the Blazing Flame Underground Palace.
Immediately, Ying Ting and the eighth-rank saint kings Fang Lingzhi, Zhu Feng, Qu Tianyou, Shi Shengping, Wei Long, and Ling Tian found themselves in the endless Primordial Void.
“This seems to be the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation!” Fang Lingzhi exclaimed in horror.
The others also changed their expressions drastically!
However, the seven still had confidence in defeating Tan Yun and Xuan Yuan Rou!
Just as the seven were stunned, a vast and chilling aura emanated from Xuan Yuan Rou, and a blood-red Heavenly Profound Ice Armor instantly materialized around her.
“Buzz—”
As the Primordial Void shook, a blood-colored Heavenly Mysterious Ice Sword manifested before Xuan Yuan Rou!
Following that, her pupils rapidly turned into a sapphire-like color!
“What is this…” Ying Ting stared at Xuan Yuan Rou, her beautiful eyes widening in extreme shock as she stammered, “This is the unique spirit clan divine eyes of the former spirit clan patriarch from the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm!”
“And what’s in your hand is the Heavenly Profound Ice Sword, while you wear the Heavenly Profound Ice Armor!”
“Xuan Yuan Rou, you are the remnant of the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm. What is your relationship with the deceased spirit clan patriarch?”
Xuan Yuan Rou ignored her, remaining silent.
Ying Ting and the other six looked at Xuan Yuan Rou and Tan Yun. The connection between Xuan Yuan Rou and the spirit clan patriarch, as well as Tan Yun's relation to the deceased primeval supreme, told them instinctively that facing Tan Yun and Xuan Yuan Rou today would be a fierce battle!
Suddenly, Ying Ting seemed to realize something and looked at Xuan Yuan Rou, saying, “Xuan Yuan Rou, Jing Yun is your enemy.”
“In the past, your patriarch and the primeval supreme were once in love, but they were eventually abandoned by the primeval supreme and ultimately killed by him with a sword!”
“As the heir of the spirit clan patriarch, how could you become Jing Yun’s fiancée? You must know that Jing Yun can wield primordial flame, primordial ice flame, and can set up the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation, which proves he has received the true legacy of the primeval supreme!”
“So, Jing Yun is your enemy…”
Before Ying Ting could finish, Xuan Yuan Rou interrupted with a cold laugh, “I am the reincarnation of the spirit clan patriarch, and Jing Yun’s real name is Tan Yun.”
“He accidentally killed me in the past, but I have forgiven him in this life.”
“I have told you everything you wanted to know; do you still want to sow discord?”
Xuan Yuan Rou revealed the purpose of exposing Tan Yun and her identity to instill fear in the enemy, creating psychological turmoil before the battle began, thereby increasing her chances of victory!
Tan Yun naturally understood Xuan Yuan Rou's intentions.
Just as Xuan Yuan Rou had predicted!
Sure enough!
When Ying Ting and the others heard Xuan Yuan Rou's identity and the name "Tan Yun," their faces turned pale, and beads of sweat formed on their foreheads!
