The Heaven-Defying Alliance was a very mysterious organization that made people tremble in fear.
There were only a few forces that could challenge the Heaven-Defying Alliance in the huge Godsfall Battlefield.
Furthermore, these few forces all had super existences that had survived since ancient times.
However, this was only a confrontation. If a real war broke out, they would have no way of restraining the Heaven-Defying Alliance unless they joined forces.
It was rumored that the members of the Heaven-Defying Sect were all heaven-defying.
Although this was an exaggeration, it was enough to show how terrifying the Heaven-Defying Alliance was.
Among the many forces, the Heaven-Defying Alliance had the fewest disciples. The disciples of the other top forces were at least dozens of times more than the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
The Heaven-Defying Alliance only recruited people with extraordinary potential.
It didn't matter if one's cultivation base or background. As long as one's potential surpassed martialists of the same level, one could enter the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
Over the years, too many monstrous geniuses had appeared in the Heaven-Defying Alliance. They had all eventually become super existences in the Godsfall Battlefield.
Being able to join the Heaven-Defying Alliance with a Yin-Yang Origin Realm cultivation base meant that one had extraordinary potential.
Fang Chen decided to personally pay a visit to this monstrous genius of the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
The Scenic Demon Territory was very vast.
There were countless broken continents under it. One of the more remote continents was called the Han Continent.
Originally, this continent wasn't called that.
However, after Yuan Venerate Han came, the continent was renamed the Han Continent.
Han was the name of this Yin-Yang Origin Realm genius.
Yuan Venerate was his codename in the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
The Han Continent in the extreme north of the Scenic Demon Territory.
"Is this the Han Continent?"
In the air, two figures were flying over at high speed.
Fang Chen looked into the distance and sensed a bone-chilling aura coming with the wind.
"The Han Continent was originally a barren continent that wasn't suitable for cultivation and was uninhabitable. Therefore, it was abandoned. However, Yuan Venerate Han used special means to transform it and build a residence here."
Master Xian Lian couldn't help but admire Yuan Venerate Han.
The potential of the Heaven-Defying Alliance's geniuses was obvious to all.
"However, I think that your potential isn't any weaker than Yuan Venerate Han's. If you obtain the Heaven-Defying Token, you can also easily join the Heaven-Defying Alliance."
Master Xian Lian was well aware of Fang Chen's potential.
"Let's go. He has already discovered us."
Fang Chen grinned. With a leap, he arrived at the core of the Han Continent.
There was a lake here.
Above the lake, there was a floating mansion.
"Interesting."
Fang Chen spread out his spiritual perception and discovered the array formation floating around the mansion.
"Drawing in the Qi of Heaven and Earth, fusing with the power of the stars in the heavens, endlessly gathering here to form such a wondrous formation."
Fang Chen had a unique understanding of the Dao of Formations, and his attainments in it were also extremely high.
Naturally, he could tell at a glance that this array was extraordinary.
He could even vaguely sense the aura of the Origin.
At the moment, he was even more curious about Yuan Venerate Han.
If one wasn't a powerhouse of array dao, they wouldn't be able to set up such an array.
"What a wonderful work of art."
Fang Chen was full of praise for this formation.
"Old Man Xian Lian, you're still coming?"
A voice filled with disgust came from the mansion.
"Is this how a paragon of the Heaven-Defying Alliance treats his guests?"
Master Xian Lian was about to speak but was stopped by Fang Chen.
The latter smiled as he looked at the floating mansion in the middle of the lake. With a flick of his finger, a stream of air shot out.
When it struck the array formation, it immediately caused turbulence. In the blink of an eye, a gap appeared in the array formation.
"Hm?"
Yuan Venerate Han, who had originally been very disdainful of Fang Chen and Master Xian Lian, had a slight change of expression.
His deep eyes looked outside the mansion.
Yuan Venerate Han didn't stop Fang Chen and Master Xian Lian from entering the mansion through the gap in the array formation.
"You must be Yuan Venerate Han?"
Fang Chen greeted Yuan Venerate Han.
After seeing Yuan Venerate Han for the first time, he had sensed a terrifying aura from the latter.
"You also understand the Dao of Formations?" Yuan Venerate Han asked.
"I know a little."
Yuan Venerate Han shook his head.
"Impossible. This array formation of mine comes from the Heaven-Defying Alliance. It is an ancient array formation that can only be set up by stealing the essence of the sun and moon."
"Even Mo Tao wouldn't be able to set it up in the Scenic Demon Territory."
What he meant was that Mo Tao wouldn't be able to break the array formation.
However, Fang Chen had been able to easily open a gap. This made Yuan Venerate Han take this mysterious man seriously.
"Not only do you understand the Dao of Formations, but your attainments in the Dao of Formations are also extraordinary."
After saying that, Yuan Venerate Han gestured with his hands and said, "Sit."
Fang Chen sat down. Master Xian Lian, who was behind him, felt his heart tremble.
The last time he had come, Yuan Venerate Han had simply been unwilling to pay attention to him. Now that Fang Chen had arrived, Yuan Venerate Han was treating him with respect.
"Yuan Venerate Han, I won't beat around the bush. I came to find you this time because I want to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Tempering Iron from you."
Fang Chen got right to the point.
Actually, Yuan Venerate Han had already guessed it.
"I do have the Ten-Thousand-Tempering Iron. It isn't considered very precious in the Heaven-Defying Alliance."
Yuan Venerate Han shrugged.
"However, why should I give it to you?"
Even if your attainments in the Dao of Formations are extremely high and you can break my Dao of Formations, so what?
Fang Chen understood what Yuan Venerate Han meant.
"Is this okay?"
Fang Chen flicked his wrist and took out the Heaven-Defying Token.
"Heaven-Defying Token?"
Yuan Venerate Han was clearly stunned when he saw the Heaven-Defying Token.
Then, he quickly thought of what had happened in the Battle Demon Continent.
"It seems like you have obtained the inheritance of the Great Era Destroyer Prime Venerate."
Yuan Venerate Han said, "However, you still don't understand the Heaven-Defying Alliance. You simply don't know how harsh the criteria for recruiting disciples are. Even if you have the Heaven-Defying Token, you still can't join the Heaven-Defying Alliance."
Obviously, Yuan Venerate Han didn't think that the small Scenic Demon Territory had the potential to meet the standards of the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
"How would I know if I don't try?"
Fang Chen wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled.
"If I join the Heaven-Defying Alliance, we will be brothers and I will also be able to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Tempering Iron."
Fang Chen added, "It's just that I have some matters to attend to now and I urgently need the Ten-Thousand-Tempering Iron. That's why I came looking for you.
You won't lose out on this deal in exchange for the Ten-Thousand-Tempering Iron. "
After he said that, Fang Chen didn't say anything else.
He would let Yuan Venerate Han weigh the other matters himself.
Yuan Venerate Han frowned and stared at Fang Chen.
Very few people could remain so calm in front of a disciple of the Heaven-Defying Alliance. Although this fellow had only cultivated for a short period of time, he could feel an outstanding aura emanating from his body.
Yuan Venerate Han had also heard about what had happened in the Battle Demon Continent.
However, he subconsciously believed that the reason Fang Chen had been able to kill the Divine General and defeat Mo Tao's projection was entirely because of Yang Kunmo and the help of the three Great Perfection Realm demonic beasts.
He was confident that Fang Chen wasn't as good as him!
But now, he suddenly had an idea.
Crash!
Yuan Venerate Han stood up.
"How can I believe that you are qualified to join the Heaven-Defying Alliance?"
Buzz!
Terrifying sword qi emanated from Fang Chen's body.
Yuan Venerate Han felt the aura of death enveloping him. He wanted to resist, but it was too late.
His heart was filled with horror.
Because …
His body was actually suppressed by the sword qi to the point that he couldn't move.
"This …"
He was completely dumbfounded.
Wasn't this fellow before him a little too strong?
"I have cultivated for 30 million years. Although my potential in the Heaven-Defying Alliance is average, my potential is unparalleled in the Scenic Demon Weave.
If I go all out, I will be invincible under the Sage Realm. "
Yuan Venerate Han muttered to himself.
However, he was actually suppressed by Fang Chen.
What did this mean?
It meant that Fang Chen had already taken a step forward and possessed the ability to contend with a Sage Realm expert!
How long had he been cultivating for?
Rip!
Fang Chen retracted his sword qi and looked at Yuan Venerate Han calmly.
"I wonder if the current me is qualified to join the Heaven-Defying Alliance?"
Yuan Venerate Han gulped and nodded heavily. He even gave Fang Chen a thumbs up.
"I rarely admire someone. You are really outstanding. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
After saying that, he flicked his wrist and took out the Ten-Thousand-Tempered Iron.
"Take this Ten-Thousand-Tempered Iron. If it's not enough, I will go to the Heaven-Defying Alliance to get some for you," Yuan Venerate Han said straightforwardly.
"However, I have a condition."
"What condition?"
Yuan Venerate Han's eyes were blazing. "Although you have the Heaven-Defying Token, you don't have a referral.
You have to promise me that when you participate in the Heaven-Defying Alliance's assessment in the future, you will say that I was the one who referred you. "
Referring a disciple to the Heaven-Defying Alliance could also reap benefits.
Furthermore, the stronger the person who was referred, the more benefits they would receive in the future.
Yuan Venerate Han was willing to befriend Fang Chen because he valued this point.
"Alright."
Fang Chen said.
The Ten-Thousand-Tempered Iron was very important to him at this stage. He was grateful that Yuan Venerate Han had generously given it to him.
"I will say the same thing again. Other than your condition, my condition remains the same."
After receiving the Ten-Thousand-Tempered Iron, he would owe Yuan Venerate Han a favor.
"If you need my help in the future, feel free to ask."
Fang Chen said.
Yuan Venerate Han would never have dreamed that a favor today would allow him to walk out of the jaws of death in the years to come.
After receiving the Ten-Thousand-Tempered Iron, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Yuan Venerate Han.
Originally, Yuan Venerate Han had wanted to contact the Heaven-Defying Alliance to let Fang Chen participate in the assessment.
However, Fang Chen still had some matters to attend to in the short term and thus declined.
"I will come and have a chat with Brother Han after I am done with the matters at hand," Fang Chen said before leaving.
Along the way, Master Immortal Lian was full of praise for Fang Chen.
"Impressive."
Master Immortal Lian gave him a thumbs-up.
"That Yuan Venerate Han is so arrogant and conceited that he was directly thrown out when I went there."
There was a world of difference between how he treated Fang Chen and how he treated him.
After all, who asked Fang Chen to be so monstrous?
"If you join the Heaven-Defying Alliance, there will definitely be a place for you in the future."
Master Immortal Lian thought highly of Fang Chen and believed that if he didn't die, his name would definitely shake the world.
After returning to the Ancient Immortal Continent's Immortal Lian Mountain, Master Immortal Lian hurriedly reforged the Hidden Star Sword.
However, what Fang Chen didn't know was that the death of the Ancient Immortal Continent's big shot Yuan Xin had triggered a series of events.
