Half a month later.
Under the leadership of the Primordial Gods from the Moon Shadow Continent, the sects of the Endless Continent were retreating step by step. Primarily due to the bombardment of the Chaos Divine Cannons, one-tenth of the Endless Continent’s territory was destroyed, and countless sects vanished into the annals of history.
With their strength greatly diminished, the disciples of the Endless Continent found themselves powerless against the overwhelming tide of beings from the Moon Shadow Continent. Was this truly the end? They felt all hope was lost—the beings of the Moon Shadow Continent were simply too numerous. Especially the supreme divine beasts, they were wildly ferocious, not only massive in size but also possessing terrifying strength. With a single swipe of their giant palms, entire sects could be annihilated.
Even more alarming was that the Primordial Gods were gathering together, steadily advancing forward. Even if there were powerful experts guarding the Endless Continent, they were like ants before these Primordial Gods.
In the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Geng Yangtian’s expression was grave. “The wars have spread across the entire Endless Continent. The beings from the Moon Shadow Continent are simply too many. The sects can no longer resist and are now converging here.”
Lin Fan’s expression was calm, but inside he was deeply troubled. The Primordial Gods from the Moon Shadow Continent were not following the usual patterns. Now, they had gathered all their forces and launched a full-scale invasion, determined to destroy the Endless Continent completely.
“How many Celestial Kings do we have on the Endless Continent now?” Lin Fan knew that in terms of numbers, the Endless Continent had a clear advantage over the Moon Shadow Continent.
However, even among Celestial Kings, there were different levels. Only the mid and high-tier Celestial Kings could stand against the Primordial Gods. As for the newly ascended Celestial Kings, they were no match for the Primordial Gods.
It was likely that even a single Primordial God could sweep through the ranks, and ordinary Celestial Kings would be unable to resist.
Geng Yangtian replied, “We currently have a total of 93 Celestial Kings, among them 20 are newly ascended. Only the remaining 73 of us can pose a threat to those Primordial Gods.”
“Why so few?” Lin Fan was surprised. This shouldn’t be the case. But when he recalled that during the Moon Shadow Continent’s first invasion, many Celestial Kings had already been killed, he understood.
Geng Yangtian shook his head. “This time, it seems we’ll have to fight to the death. According to our scouts, all the Primordial Gods from the Moon Shadow Continent are gathered together, advancing from the Sea of Death. They intend to completely surround us. With the current state of our ordinary disciples, they can no longer influence the battle. To those Primordial Gods, anyone below the rank of Celestial King is like an ant. Therefore, I suggest we withdraw the disciples to the rear. Jun Tian, you lead the disciples from all sects to retreat. We’ll handle the front line.”
Han Jun Tian, as the sect leader, immediately objected upon hearing this. “Ancestor, I am the sect leader. How can I avoid battle?”
Lin Fan smiled and said, “Leader, you should take them and leave first.”
Han Jun Tian replied, “If anyone should leave, it should be you leading the disciples. How could I, Han Jun Tian, abandon my post?”
Lin Fan looked at Han Jun Tian, his words a bit harsh. “Leader, you must leave first. Although you are a Celestial King, your power is too weak. You are no match for those Primordial Gods. You would only become a burden to us.”
Han Jun Tian was stunned, his expression changing as if struck dumb by Lin Fan’s words.
“Leader, although these words may be harsh, we have no choice. Ordinary Celestial Kings should no longer participate in the battle. Even if they do, they would only be cannon fodder. Let’s leave at least some remnants of the Endless Continent.”
Lin Fan said, feeling immense pressure from the situation. He no longer had the leisurely mood he once possessed.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. He was fortunate to have killed many Primordial Gods in the past. Otherwise, if all seventy-two Primordial Gods of the Moon Shadow Continent were still alive, the pressure would be even greater.
Geng Yangtian coughed lightly. “Jun Tian, as the leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect, you must understand your responsibility at this moment. Take the disciples and leave, preserving the last remnants of the Endless Continent. If we defeat the Moon Shadow Continent, that would be ideal. But if we fail, no matter the cost, you must survive.”
“Ancestor…” Han Jun Tian looked at his ancestor, then at Lin Fan, finally sighing. “I understand.”
“Leader…” At this moment, Qiu Zanyu and Golden Mushroom arrived.
Lin Fan’s face revealed a faint smile. “You two finally returned. Not bad, your cultivation has improved greatly. You’re almost at the Divine Sovereign level. Go with the leader and protect my family.”
Qiu Zanyu and Golden Mushroom looked at Lin Fan. They had once been bandits, but later followed Lin Fan into the Heaven and Earth Sect. Now, their strength was nearly at the Divine Sovereign level, yet they still couldn’t offer any real help. Especially in this battle, even the densest of minds could understand—this might be their last meeting.
“Boss, won’t you see them off?” Qiu Zanyu asked.
Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, then shook his head. “No need. If I survive, we’ll meet again. If I die, it would only add unnecessary sorrow.”
This great battle left him uneasy, wanting to relax but unable to. It was as if he had resigned himself to fate, leaving everything to heaven.
“Leader, you should gather the disciples and leave. We need to make proper preparations. At the Moon Shadow Continent’s speed, they’ll arrive in no more than three days,” Lin Fan said.
Han Jun Tian nodded. He didn’t know what else to say. He understood that this battle was crucial. As Lin Fan had said, although he was a Celestial King, he was only newly ascended and couldn’t offer much help. Worse, he might even become a burden.
After everyone left, Lin Fan sighed. “Ancestor, please summon all the elders from the sects. We need to discuss our plans.”
Geng Yangtian nodded. There were seventy-three Celestial King elders, varying in strength. These were the remaining elders of the sects. Other elders had already perished at the hands of the Primordial Gods. And during the previous light pillar incident, many sects had been destroyed, and those elders likely perished as well.
The Celestial King elders present on the Endless Continent were all gathered.
Lin Fan looked at the elders and spoke, “In three days, we may face our final battle. At this moment, I hope you all can unite. I hope each of you can hand over your divine artifacts and storage rings. I believe I can create something for you all.”
Without hesitation, all the elders handed over their storage rings and divine artifacts.
At a time like this, none of them suspected Lin Fan of trying to seize their treasures.
After all, in such a desperate situation, if anyone still harbored selfish thoughts, they would have nothing to say.
Lin Fan looked at the storage rings floating in the air, then extended his hand, taking control of them all.
Forging!
Alchemizing!
The Celestial Furnace appeared between heaven and earth, absorbing all the divine artifacts and forging materials.
Buzz!
In an instant, radiant light flashed, and countless divine artifacts flew out from the Celestial Furnace.
Lin Fan sighed. At this final moment, he had failed to forge any special items. It was a pity. It seemed heaven did not favor him.
When the elders from the sects saw these divine artifacts, they were all stunned.
Lin Fan spoke, “You can choose these divine artifacts yourselves. Take as many defensive artifacts as you can. At least they can provide some level of protection.”
Then, with a single thought, he began forging restoration pills.
With battle approaching, everything must be prepared.
