The figure in the black robe, the blood-stained stone coffin—man and object alike—quietly walked through the void, where thunderbolts crackled and wove into a vast net, as if attempting to obliterate such an evil presence.
“What is that? Its aura is so sinister!” The elder of ZiZai Sect furrowed his brows, focusing his gaze into the void. Golden rays shot from his eyes, but in an instant, he let out a pained cry, clutching his eyes as two streams of blood flowed down his cheeks. “My eyes…”
Seeing the elder’s condition, everyone was shocked. Moments ago, he had used the ZiZai Sect’s Celestial Eye technique, capable of piercing all illusions, but had been counterattacked, losing his sight. This was beyond their expectations.
“That’s an evil entity…” Elder He roared, his expression frenzied. He had never encountered such a situation before. The moment his Celestial Eye peered into it, a sinister aura like that of an abyss had seeped into his vision and struck back, leaving him no time to react. It was terrifying.
Lin Fan stood there solemnly, then patted Ji Zi, signaling him back into the backpack. The situation ahead might become unpredictable.
At this moment, a horrifying scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
The figure and the stone coffin appeared in the void, standing silently there. The black-robed figure still hunched forward, gripping the chains with both hands, while the stone coffin seemed like an ancient relic, radiating an evil aura that tainted the surrounding space.
The sky darkened, and the purple lightning that had previously shattered everything turned black, flashing continuously around the coffin.
The upper void gradually twisted, forming a vortex of utter darkness, its interior unknown.
“What is this?” Everyone was alarmed. Upon seeing the figure and the coffin, their thoughts surged. As elders of various sects, their vision far surpassed that of ordinary people, yet this mysterious object was something they had never encountered before.
Seeing the stone coffin, Lin Fan’s expression changed dramatically. Wasn’t this the same as the one in the Sea Monster’s Burial Ground?
Could it be?
At this moment, Lin Fan’s right hand trembled slightly, then he rubbed his pants, sensing a familiar feeling.
“Who is that figure in black? What is inside that stone coffin?” Yao Tian, head of the Yao Clan, instinctively took a few steps back.
The aura emanating from the void unsettled them all.
“Retreat…” At this moment, an elder from XuanXian Pavilion shouted. Though curiosity burned within them for this unknown entity, the aura was too chilling.
The elders of the other sects came to their senses and began retreating, ordering their disciples to scatter as well.
Such an evil presence was just too ominous.
Especially the black-robed figure—none of them could sense his cultivation level.
The five sect elders tore through the void. As they departed, they glanced back at the mysterious stone coffin one last time before vanishing without hesitation.
At the moment they entered the rift in the void, everyone felt a wave of relief, finally escaping. As for their disciples’ fates, they could only leave it to destiny.
Tearing through space and teleporting was a skill only masters at the Great Heaven Stage could control. Since they hadn’t fully grasped that advanced realm, their teleportation was only temporary. Yet even so, escaping thousands of miles away was no longer an issue.
As soon as the elders emerged from the spatial rift, their hearts calmed somewhat, believing they had finally left that place.
But just as they took in their surroundings, shock and disbelief flooded their faces.
This couldn’t be…
They had clearly performed a spatial teleportation. Why were they back here?
The five sect elders now stood right around the stone coffin.
Their bodies trembled slightly as they sensed a destructive aura.
“Run…”
Without hesitation, the five sect elders turned and fled. But in an instant, the stone coffin suddenly emitted a powerful suction force, pulling the elders toward it.
“Ahh… Help!” The elders screamed, but in a flash, the once flesh-and-blood figures turned into desiccated corpses.
This happened in an instant, too quickly for anyone to react.
“Elders…” The disciples of the five sects cried out. They had wanted to flee too, but witnessing their elders’ gruesome fate, a sense of desolation surged through their hearts.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt an ominous premonition. After refining the Ancient Arm and fusing it into his body, he had realized that the arm was not unique.
There must be another ancient body part sealed within this coffin.
As Lin Fan pondered these thoughts, the black-robed figure moved. He dropped the chains and began forming mysterious hand seals in the air.
“Eternal Ancient One, your servant comes to welcome your rebirth. Please break all seals and return…” In an instant, from the sleeves of the black-robed figure, a torrent of blood rain poured down from the sky, rolling like waves.
The thick stench of blood made Lin Fan frown. This was human blood—so much of it must have been collected from countless slaughtered lives.
The blood sea fell to the ground, gradually seeping into the earth.
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately understood. The black-robed figure knew the Ancient Arm was sealed here and had come to unseal it.
But he didn’t know that Lin Fan had already refined the Ancient Arm. There was nothing left in the Sea Monster’s Burial Ground.
“Ahh…”
As time passed, the black-robed figure let out a furious roar, realizing there was no trace of the Ancient One’s aura beneath the ground.
At this moment, Lin Fan caught sight of the face hidden beneath the black robe, and his heart jolted in shock and disbelief.
“Li… Liang Yichu.”
He never expected the dark figure to be Liang Yichu, the revered elder of Jiuxiao Sect. How could this be possible?
The elder with a plump figure and only a few strands of hair on his head—how could he have transformed into this?
Only months had passed since the Heaven’s Pride Battle. How could he have changed so drastically?
“Master Liang…” Lin Fan called out at this moment.
In the midst of his rage, Liang Yichu’s pitch-black eyes locked onto Lin Fan. He roared furiously, his body emitting thick black mist. The mist coalesced into a hideous demonic face.
Great Heaven Stage, Peak Realm.
This palm strike seemed to split the heavens and earth, countless chains of dark rules tearing through layers of void, converging and entwining around the strike.
Lin Fan raised his right hand and caught the strike.
“Master Liang, what happened to you?” Lin Fan roared. The sight of Liang’s appearance reminded him of the disciples in the Tuo Di Temple.
“Roar…”
A beast-like cry erupted from Liang Yichu’s mouth as his figure flickered, instantly appearing before Lin Fan.
The power of rules erupted, as if the will of the entire heaven and earth was crushing down upon Lin Fan.
This was the strength of a Great Heaven Stage Peak Realm expert, harnessing the power of heaven and earth to slay enemies.
Feeling the oppressive force, Lin Fan furrowed his brows slightly. “Master Liang, I’m sorry.”
“Seal it…”
In that moment, Lin Fan struck out with one palm, summoning a massive hand from the void.
“Boom…”
Master Liang crashed heavily to the ground. His black robe was already torn to pieces, turning into ashes. At this moment, the dying Liang Yichu’s pitch-black eyes regained a flicker of clarity.
“G… go… to Jiuxiao Sect…”
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Great Heaven Stage Peak Realm expert, Liang Yichu.”
“Ding! Congratulations on gaining two billion experience points.”
“Ding! Congratulations on leveling up.”
“Entering the Divine Middle Stage.”
“Entering the Divine High Stage.”
“Entering the Divine Peak Stage.”
…
In that instant, although his level had risen, Lin Fan felt no joy.
“He’s dead…” The disciples of the six sects, having survived the ordeal, showed expressions of exhilaration on their faces. They had thought they would die here, but they never expected this person to be so powerful.
Meanwhile, the Yao Clan’s head, who had been stunned from the start out of fear, had unknowingly saved his own life.
“Silence.” Lin Fan’s mood was heavy.
Hearing this, the disciples of the six sects immediately shut their mouths, too afraid to shout anymore.
Lin Fan didn’t understand Liang’s final words. What had happened to Jiuxiao Sect?
His only friend was still there. Could it be that something had occurred at Jiuxiao Sect?
At this moment, Lin Fan focused his gaze on the floating stone coffin in the void.
“Come out!” Lin Fan roared.
