Lin Fan has been puzzled by one thing: why do demon beasts form beast tides to destroy human empires? Perhaps he can now uncover this secret from the Flame Lord.
At this moment, the Flame Lord, looking at the human before him, was genuinely terrified.
Who the hell has ever seen a human with a recovery ability more terrifying than a beast? And after being chased for days and nights, he still looked as if nothing had happened.
“Big brother, if you let me go, I’ll tell you everything,” the Flame Lord said, his chubby face showing absolute submission.
Lin Fan glanced at him with disdain, “Shame on you, a beast, for being so spineless. Do all you beasts bully the weak and fear the strong?”
“No, big brother, my mother taught me that if I ever encounter a human I can’t defeat, I should be honest and act submissive. Then the human might take pity on me and let me go,” the Flame Lord explained.
At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire this human woman. What method did she use to give birth to a child with a beast? If the beast couldn’t transform into a human form, then perhaps… perhaps…
Lin Fan didn’t dare to think further. He could only say that the world is full of wonders.
“Your mother sounds interesting. I’d like to meet her someday,” Lin Fan said. Such a remarkable woman was worth meeting, especially since traveling was all about broadening one’s horizons.
The Flame Lord’s pleading expression suddenly turned sorrowful, even carrying a hint of hatred, “Big brother, you might not get the chance. Both my parents are dead.”
Lin Fan glanced at the Flame Lord but didn’t say much. He wasn’t foolish enough to believe everything a beast said. He then asked the crucial questions.
“Where do you come from? What’s the deal with the beast tide? Why do you want to destroy human empires?” Lin Fan inquired.
“I come from the Beast Spirit Realm. The beast tide was ordered by a terrifying master. As for why we need to destroy human empires, I don’t know,” the Flame Lord replied.
He truly didn’t understand why human empires needed to be destroyed. Humans and beasts had always lived separately, without interfering with each other. But that terrifying master had taken control of the Beast Spirit Realm, and anyone who defied his orders would be drained into a horrifying beast husk.
“Tell me everything you know, and I promise to let you go,” Lin Fan said, lowering his gaze in thought.
In fact, when Lin Fan first encountered the beast tide, he sensed that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Beasts didn’t just attack empires for no reason. There had to be some underlying cause, and it was up to him, with his detective-like insight, to peel back the layers of this mystery.
The Flame Lord, now too scared to hide anything, spilled everything he knew.
Lin Fan listened intently, his brow furrowing.
A terrifying figure in a black robe.
Physically small compared to the beasts.
Yet possessing unparalleled strength, leaving the Beast Spirit Realm with no resistance.
Lin Fan also knew that there was a natural barrier between the Beast Spirit Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm, preventing either side from crossing over. That black-robed figure had suddenly appeared in the Beast Spirit Realm hundreds of years ago, swiftly eliminating all resistance and taking control of the entire realm.
The Flame Lord’s parents were among the resisters, ultimately killed.
Over hundreds of years, this black-robed figure had blasted a tunnel through the barrier between the two realms, allowing beasts to be transported over with the goal of destroying human empires.
“Big brother, can I go now?” the Flame Lord asked cautiously, knowing he had nothing left to say.
Lin Fan studied the Flame Lord carefully. A beast that had condensed sixteen chains of rules—even the Saint Sect’s leader might not be a match. If he could tame it and bring it into the Saint Demon Sect, it would be a significant step forward in strengthening the sect.
The Flame Lord, noticing the human’s mischievous gaze, trembled and fell to the ground, “Big brother, my mother said humans are the most trustworthy. You can’t deceive me, your half-sibling.”
Shameless, spineless, cowardly, and a hybrid—this beast had great research value.
Indeed, such traits made it a perfect candidate for the Saint Demon Sect.
“Since you say the Beast Spirit Realm is under the control of the mysterious black-robed figure and in dire straits, why not follow me?” Lin Fan proposed, starting with courtesy but ready to use force if the little fatty refused.
“Big brother, I’d love to, but I can’t. If I don’t return, the countless people in my territory will be killed by that terrifying master. Please, let me go. I mean no harm to humans. During the siege, I was just trying to scare them. I’m very friendly toward humans, always advocating for peaceful exchanges…” the Flame Lord rambled on like a chatterbox.
Lin Fan, looking at the Flame Lord, felt somewhat helpless. Should he take it in or not?
Seeing Lin Fan fall silent, the Flame Lord obediently stayed put.
“Then tell me, how do I get to your Beast Spirit Realm?” Lin Fan asked.
“Break through the barrier between the two realms,” the Flame Lord replied.
Damn, that’s as good as saying nothing. Breaking through the barrier would require immense strength.
“Any other way?” Lin Fan pressed, unwilling to give up. The Flame Lord had been sent over by the mysterious black-robed figure.
“I don’t know. Probably not. But that terrifying master said it would take at most three years to break through and descend upon this realm to destroy all humans,” the Flame Lord said.
Hearing this, Lin Fan was stunned.
At most three years? That meant it could happen any day within the next three years?
“How strong is this terrifying figure you speak of?” Lin Fan felt he had stumbled upon a monumental secret.
“Very strong, very strong. My parents and many of the older lords in my territory were all killed by him, without any chance to resist,” the Flame Lord said, his face showing fear as he recalled the past.
At this moment, Lin Fan stood up, his mind racing with thoughts.
If he hadn’t known about this, he wouldn’t have thought much of it. But now that he did, it seemed far from simple.
This Flame Lord alone, if not for encountering him, would have been enough to cause serious trouble for the people of Donglingzhou.
And if what the Flame Lord said was true, within three years…
Not just Donglingzhou, but the entire Xuanhuang Realm would face destruction.
Damn it, I need to get stronger fast. Having foreknowledge of this impending danger, if I still lose what I consider most important, I might as well be dead.
At this moment, Lin Fan grabbed the chubby Flame Lord and dragged him toward the small forest.
“Ah… big brother, what are you doing? I’ve told you everything! Why are you dragging me into the woods?”
“No… big brother, not there…”
“Ah…”
An unusual scream echoed through the small forest.
The Flame Lord stared at the human before him, genuinely terrified.
Who in their right mind had ever seen a human with recovery abilities more terrifying than a fierce beast? And even after chasing for days and nights straight, this human still acted as if nothing had happened.
“Big brother, if you let me go, I’ll tell you everything,” the Flame Lord said, his chubby face displaying a look of complete submission.
Lin Fan looked at him with disdain. “You call yourself a fierce beast? How pathetic. Don’t tell me all the beasts are cowards who only bully the weak and fear the strong?”
“No, big brother! This is what my mother taught me. If I ever meet a human I can’t beat, I should behave and act submissive. Then the human might pity me and let me go,” the Flame Lord replied.
At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire this human woman. How on earth had she managed to bear a child with a fierce beast? If the beast couldn’t transform into human form, then… could it be?
At that thought, Lin Fan dared not continue. He could only mutter to himself—indeed, the world is vast, and there’s no lack of wonders.
“Your mother sounds interesting. I’d really like to meet her someday.” No matter what, he had to see this extraordinary woman for himself. After all, traveling the world was all about broadening one’s horizons.
At this, the Flame Lord’s pleading expression suddenly turned sorrowful, even carrying a trace of hatred. “Big brother, you probably won’t get the chance. My parents are both dead.”
Lin Fan glanced at the Flame Lord but said nothing. He wasn’t naive enough to believe a word from a fierce beast. He then asked the crucial question.
Lin Fan has been puzzled by one thing: why do the demon beasts form a beast tide to destroy the human empires? Perhaps he can now uncover this secret from the Flame Lord.

Lin Fan looked at him with disdain, “Shame on you for being a beast, yet so spineless. Are all you beasts just bullies who prey on the weak?”
“No, big brother, my mother taught me that if I ever encounter a human I can’t defeat, I should be honest and act submissive. Then the human might take pity on me and let me go,” the Flame Lord explained.
At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire this human woman. What method did she use to give birth to a child with a beast? If the beast couldn’t transform into a human form, then perhaps… perhaps…

He truly didn’t understand why the human empires needed to be destroyed. Humans and beasts had always lived separately, with no interference. But that terrifying master had taken control of the Beast Spirit Realm, and anyone who dared to disobey would be turned into a desiccated beast corpse.
“Tell me everything you know, and I promise to let you go,” Lin Fan said, lowering his head in thought.
In fact, when Lin Fan first encountered the beast tide, he sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Beasts wouldn’t just attack empires for no reason. There must be some underlying cause, and this mystery would be unraveled under Lin Fan’s detective gaze.
The Flame Lord, not daring to hide anything, spilled everything he knew.
As Lin Fan listened, his brows furrowed tightly.
A terrifying figure in a black robe.
Physically small compared to the beasts.
Yet possessing unparalleled strength, leaving the Beast Spirit Realm with no resistance.

I mean no harm to humans. During the siege, I was just trying to scare them. I’m very friendly towards humans, always advocating for peaceful exchanges…” the Flame Lord rambled on like a chatterbox.
Lin Fan, looking at the Flame Lord, felt somewhat helpless. Should he take it in or not?
Seeing Lin Fan fall silent, the Flame Lord obediently lay still.
“Then tell me, how do I get to your Beast Spirit Realm?” Lin Fan asked.

Even this Flame Lord, if not for encountering Lin Fan, would have been enough to cause significant trouble for the Eastern Spirit Continent.
And if what the Flame Lord said was true, within three years…
Then the Eastern Spirit Continent, no, the entire Xuanhuang Realm, would face destruction.
Damn it, I need to get stronger quickly. Having foreknowledge of this impending danger, if I still lose what I consider most important, then I might as well be dead.

At this moment, the Flame Lord looked at the human before him, genuinely terrified.
Who the hell has ever seen a human with a recovery ability more terrifying than a beast? And after chasing for days and nights, he still looks unscathed.
“Big brother, as long as you let me go, I’ll tell you everything,” the Flame Lord said, his chubby face showing absolute submission.
Lin Fan looked at him with disdain, “Shame on you for being a beast, yet so spineless. Are all you beasts just bullies who prey on the weak?”
“No, big brother, my mother taught me that if I ever encounter a human I can’t defeat, I should be honest and act submissive. Then the human might take pity on me and let me go,” the Flame Lord explained.

“I come from the Beast Spirit Realm. The beast tide was ordered by a terrifying master. As for why we want to destroy the human empires, I don’t know,” the Flame Lord replied.
He truly didn’t understand why they wanted to destroy the human empires. Humans and beasts have always kept to themselves, with no conflicts. But that terrifying master has taken control of the Beast Spirit Realm, and anyone who disobeys his orders is turned into a dried-up beast husk.
“Tell me everything you know, and I promise to let you go,” Lin Fan said, lowering his head in thought.
In fact, when Lin Fan first encountered the beast tide, he sensed that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Beasts don’t just attack empires for no reason. There must be some underlying cause, and it’s up to him, with his detective-like insight, to peel back the layers of this mystery.

The Flame Lord noticed the human’s mischievous gaze and shivered, immediately prostrating himself, “Big brother, my mother said humans are the most trustworthy. You can’t deceive me, your half-breed kin.”
Shameless, spineless, cowardly, and a hybrid—this creature had great research value.
Indeed, such traits made it a perfect candidate for the Saint Demon Sect.
“Since you say the Beast Spirit Realm is under the control of the mysterious black-robed figure and in dire straits, why not follow me?” Lin Fan proposed, starting with courtesy but ready to use the whip if the chubby beast refused.
“Big brother, I’d love to, but I can’t stay. If I don’t return, the countless subjects in my territory will be slaughtered by that terrifying master. Please, let me go. I mean no harm to humans. During the siege, I was just trying to scare them. I’m very friendly toward humans, always advocating peaceful exchanges…” the Flame Lord rambled on like a chatterbox.
Lin Fan looked at the Flame Lord, somewhat at a loss. Should he take it in or not?
Seeing Lin Fan fall silent, the Flame Lord obediently lay still.
“Then tell me, how do I get to your Beast Spirit Realm?” Lin Fan asked.
“Break through the barrier between the two realms,” the Flame Lord replied.
Damn, that’s as good as saying nothing. Breaking through the barrier requires immense strength.

“I don’t know. Probably not. But that terrifying master said it would take at most three years to break through and descend upon this realm, destroying all humans,” the Flame Lord said.
Lin Fan was stunned by this revelation.
At most three years? That means it could happen any day within the next three years?

And if what the Flame Lord said was true, within three years…
Then the Eastern Spirit Continent—no, the entire Xuanhuang Realm—would face destruction.
Damn it, I need to get stronger, fast. This time, having foreknowledge of the impending danger, if I still lose what I hold most dear, then I might as well be dead.
With that thought, Lin Fan grabbed the chubby Flame Lord and dragged him into the small forest.
“Ah… big brother, what are you doing? I’ve told you everything! Why are you dragging me into the woods?”
“No… big brother, not there…”
“Ah…”
An unusual scream echoed through the small forest.
He truly didn’t understand why the human empire had to be destroyed. Humans and beasts had coexisted without conflict. But that terrifying figure had already taken control of the Beast Spirit Realm, turning any who dared resist into horrifying beast mummies.
“Tell me everything you know, and I’ll promise to let you go,” Lin Fan said, lowering his gaze in thought.
Lin Fan has been puzzled by one thing: why do the demon beasts form a beast tide to destroy the human empires? Perhaps now, he can uncover this secret from the Flame Lord.
The Flame Lord, looking at the human before him, felt genuine fear. Who had ever seen a human with a recovery ability more terrifying than a beast? And after chasing him for days and nights, this human still seemed completely unfazed.
“Big brother, if you let me go, I’ll tell you everything,” the Flame Lord said, his chubby face showing absolute submission.
Lin Fan glanced at him with disdain. “Shame on you for being a beast. Are all you beasts just bullies who prey on the weak?”
“No, big brother, my mother taught me that if I ever encounter a human I can’t defeat, I should be honest and humble. That way, the human might take pity on me and let me go,” the Flame Lord explained.
At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire the human woman. What method did she use to give birth to a child with a beast? If the beast couldn’t transform into a human form, then perhaps… perhaps…

The Flame Lord’s pleading expression suddenly turned sorrowful, even carrying a hint of hatred. “Big brother, you might not get the chance. Both my parents are dead.”
Lin Fan looked at the Flame Lord but didn’t say much. He wasn’t foolish enough to fully trust a beast’s words. He then asked the crucial questions.
“Where do you come from? What’s the deal with the beast tide? Why do you want to destroy the human empires?” Lin Fan inquired.
“I come from the Beast Spirit Realm. The beast tide was ordered by a terrifying master. As for why we want to destroy the human empires, I don’t know,” the Flame Lord replied.
He truly didn’t understand why they needed to destroy the human empires. Humans and beasts had always kept to themselves, not interfering with each other. But that terrifying master had taken control of the Beast Spirit Realm, and anyone who disobeyed his orders would be drained into a terrifying beast husk.
“Tell me everything you know, and I promise to let you go,” Lin Fan said, lowering his head in thought.
In fact, when Lin Fan first encountered the beast tide, he felt that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. The beasts weren’t just attacking the empires for no reason. There had to be some underlying cause, and it was up to him, with his detective-like insight, to peel back the layers of this mystery.
The Flame Lord, not daring to hide anything, spilled everything he knew.
As Lin Fan listened, his brows furrowed tightly.
A terrifying figure in a black robe.
A figure whose size was insignificant compared to the beasts.
Yet, possessing unparalleled strength, he had completely dominated the Beast Spirit Realm without any resistance.
Lin Fan also knew that there was a natural barrier between the Beast Spirit Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm, preventing either side from crossing into the other. However, the black-robed figure had suddenly appeared in the Beast Spirit Realm hundreds of years ago and, with swift and brutal methods, eliminated all resistance, taking control of the entire realm.
The Flame Lord’s parents were among the resisters and were ultimately killed.
Over the centuries, the black-robed figure had blasted a tunnel through the barrier between the two realms, allowing beasts to be transported over with the sole purpose of destroying the human empires.
“Big brother, can I go now?” the Flame Lord asked cautiously, knowing he had nothing left to say.
Lin Fan scrutinized the Flame Lord. A beast that had condensed sixteen chains of rules—even the sect master of the Holy Sect might not be able to defeat it. If he could tame it and bring it into the Holy Demon Sect, it would be a significant step forward in strengthening the sect.
Noticing the human’s mischievous gaze, the Flame Lord shuddered and immediately prostrated himself. “Big brother, my mother said humans are the most trustworthy. You can’t deceive me, your half-breed kin.”
Shameless, without principles, cowardly, and a hybrid of human and beast—this creature had significant research value.
Indeed, such traits made it a perfect candidate for the Holy Demon Sect.
“Since you said the Beast Spirit Realm is under the control of the mysterious black-robed figure and is in dire straits, why not follow me?” Lin Fan proposed, starting with courtesy but ready to use force if the chubby beast refused.
“Big brother, I’d like to, but I can’t. If I don’t return, the countless subjects in my territory will be killed by that terrifying master. Please, let me go. I bear no ill will toward humans. During the siege, I was just trying to scare them. I’m actually very friendly toward humans, always advocating for peaceful exchanges…” The Flame Lord rambled on like a chatterbox.
Lin Fan, looking at the Flame Lord, felt somewhat helpless. Should he take it in or not?
Seeing Lin Fan fall silent, the Flame Lord obediently lay still.
“Then tell me, how do I get to your Beast Spirit Realm?” Lin Fan asked.
“Break through the barrier between the two realms,” the Flame Lord replied.
Lin Fan was exasperated. That was as good as saying nothing. Breaking through the barrier required immense strength.
“Any other methods?” Lin Fan pressed, unwilling to give up. The Flame Lord had been sent here by the mysterious black-robed figure.
“I don’t know. Probably not. But that terrifying master said it would take at most three years to break through and descend here from the Beast Spirit Realm to destroy all humans,” the Flame Lord said.
Hearing this, Lin Fan was stunned.
At most three years? That meant it could happen on any day within the next three years?
“How strong is this terrifying figure you mentioned?” Lin Fan felt he had stumbled upon a monumental secret.
“Very, very strong. My parents and many of the older lords in my territory were all killed by him without any chance to resist,” the Flame Lord said, his face showing fear as he recalled the past.
At this moment, Lin Fan stood up, his mind racing with thoughts.
If he hadn’t known about this, he wouldn’t have thought much of it. But now that he did, it seemed far from simple.

And if what the Flame Lord said was true, within three years, not just the Eastern Spirit Continent but the entire Xuanhuang Realm would face destruction.
Damn it, he needed to become stronger quickly. Having foreknowledge of this impending danger, if he still lost what he held most dear, he might as well be dead.
With that thought, Lin Fan grabbed the chubby Flame Lord and dragged him into the small forest.
“Ah… big brother, what are you doing? I’ve told you everything! Why are you dragging me into the woods?”
“No… big brother, not there…”
“Ah…”
An unusual scream echoed through the small forest.
The fierce beasts weren’t just attacking the empire out of boredom. There must be a reason. And now, with his detective instincts, he was determined to peel away the layers of mystery.
At this moment, the Flame Lord dared not hide anything and spilled everything he knew.
As Lin Fan listened, his brows furrowed tightly.
A terrifying figure in a black robe.
Though small in stature compared to the fierce beasts, this figure possessed unmatched power, leaving the entire Beast Spirit Realm powerless to resist.
Lin Fan now understood that there was a natural barrier separating the Beast Spirit Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm, preventing either side from crossing over. But hundreds of years ago, this robed figure had suddenly appeared in the Beast Spirit Realm, swiftly crushing all resistance with ruthless force and seizing control of the entire realm.
The Flame Lord’s parents had been among the rebels and were eventually killed.
After centuries, this figure in black robes had shattered the boundary between the two realms, creating a tunnel through which the fierce beasts could be transported, all with the goal of destroying the human empire.
“Big brother, can I go now?” the Flame Lord asked cautiously. He had already revealed everything he knew.
Lin Fan examined the Flame Lord carefully. A beast that had condensed sixteen chains of laws—no ordinary Saint Sect leader could defeat it. If he could subdue and recruit it into the Holy Demon Sect, it would be a major step forward in strengthening the sect.
The Flame Lord shivered under Lin Fan’s gaze, clearly filled with suspicion. He immediately threw himself to the ground. “Big brother, my mother said humans are the most trustworthy. You can’t betray me, your half-breed kin!”
Shameless, without principles, cowardly, non-confrontational, a hybrid of human and beast—this creature had immense research value.
Indeed, such traits made him an ideal candidate for the Holy Demon Sect.
“Since you say the Beast Spirit Realm has already fallen under the control of this mysterious figure in black robes, why not follow me instead?” Lin Fan offered politely first. If this little fatty refused, then he’d have no choice but to use the whip in his hand.
“Big brother, I’d love to, but I can’t stay. If I don’t return, countless people in my territory will be killed by that terrifying figure. Big brother, please let me go. I truly bear no ill will toward humans. Earlier, when I attacked the city, I was just scaring them. I’m actually very friendly to humans. I’ve always believed in peaceful exchanges…” The Flame Lord babbled on like a chatterbox.
Lin Fan looked at the Flame Lord helplessly. Should he keep him or let him go?
Seeing Lin Fan fall silent, the Flame Lord obediently remained on the ground.
“Then tell me, how do I get to your Beast Spirit Realm?” Lin Fan asked.
“Break through the barrier between the two realms,” the Flame Lord replied.
Are you kidding me? That’s like saying nothing at all. Breaking through the boundary between realms required immense power.
“Any other ways?” Lin Fan pressed.
“I don’t know. Probably none. But that terrifying figure said that within three years at most, he would break through here, descend from the Beast Spirit Realm to this world, and destroy all humans,” the Flame Lord said.
Hearing this, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, shocked.
Within three years at most? That meant it could happen any day within the next three years?
“Just how strong is this terrifying figure you mentioned?” Lin Fan felt he had uncovered a huge secret.
“Extremely strong. My parents and many other elders from various territories were all killed by him. Not a single one could resist,” the Flame Lord said, his face showing terror as he recalled those events.
At this moment, Lin Fan stood up, his mind already made up.
If he hadn’t known about this, he wouldn’t have thought much of it. But now that he did, he couldn’t ignore it.
Even this Flame Lord alone, without meeting Lin Fan, would have been enough to trouble the Dongling Continent.
And if what the Flame Lord said was true, within three years…
Then not only Dongling, but the entire Xuanhuang Realm would face destruction.
Damn it, he needed to grow stronger quickly. Now that he had learned of this future danger in advance, if he still lost what he held most dear, then he might as well die.
At that moment, Lin Fan grabbed the chubby Flame Lord and dragged him toward a small forest.
“Ahh… Big brother, what are you doing? I’ve told you everything already. Why are you dragging me into the woods?”
“No… Big brother, not there… anywhere but there…”
“Ahh…”
A scream of unusual agony echoed throughout the entire grove.
