“Senior Brother Lin, please let me go. I truly regret my actions. Back then, I shouldn’t have been afraid. Please, have mercy on me…” Fang Han was genuinely terrified at this moment.
Under absolute domination, Fang Han had already been overwhelmed by fear.
If there had been even the slightest chance of survival, he would never have begged for mercy. But now, with no hope in sight, he truly refused to accept his fate.
The Devil Emperor’s inheritance, unrivaled under heaven—if he could just survive, he was certain he could become a supreme figure ruling over an entire realm. How could he die like this?
“Do you really think I would let both of you go?” Lin Fan threw the remnants of the Jade Vase aside.
Han Lu rushed over and grabbed the fragments of the broken vase, his heart filled with profound sorrow.
His source of reliance was gone…
“Senior Brother Lin, I beg you, out of consideration for our former brotherhood, let me go. I swear I’ll never dare again,” Fang Han pleaded while sobbing, though his heart was filled with rage powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.
How bitter his hatred was…
Why was the gap between them so vast? He was the one who had inherited the Devil Emperor’s legacy!
“It’s precisely because of our former brotherhood that I’ve wasted so many words on you. Otherwise, you’d already be up there,” Lin Fan said coldly.
When seeking revenge, one must be decisive. If he showed mercy now, how could he ever carry out justice?
“No… no…” Fang Han shook his head violently. “Senior Brother, over these years, I’ve acquired many treasures. I’ll give them all to you. Just let me live—I really don’t want to die…”
“Treasures? Do I look like I’m short on treasures? Back then, even if you had left the sect out of fear for your lives, I wouldn’t have blamed you. But you actually slaughtered Senior Brother Wang, a fellow disciple, to prove your loyalty. That, I will never forgive,” Lin Fan said with a cold laugh, having already decided the fate of these men long ago.
“Ahh…”
At that moment, Han Lu suddenly underwent a dramatic transformation. A surge of energy instantly enveloped the entire training ground.
Lin Fan looked on with slight surprise.
At this moment, Han Lu’s long hair flowed, and his entire body was shrouded in a white mist.
Fang Han was equally confused. He had no idea what was happening to Han Lu, but at this point, anything was worth a try if it meant saving his own life.
“Heh, so it’s that thing, huh?” Lin Fan glanced at the shattered Jade Vase on the ground, a faint mocking smile appearing on his lips.
Han Lu trembled violently. The anger and sorrow in his eyes moments ago abruptly changed, and his entire aura became ethereal.
The strange phenomenon suddenly vanished. Han Lu looked around, then at the shattered Jade Vase on the ground. He focused his gaze on Lin Fan.
“He is the one I have chosen. Let him go, and today’s destruction of my Jade Vase will be forgiven. How does that sound?” Though the words came from Han Lu’s mouth, Lin Fan knew the speaker was not truly him.
“Oh, and who might you be?” Lin Fan smiled.
“You are not yet worthy of knowing my name. Just understand that I am an existence far beyond your current comprehension. Today, if you spare him, it will bring you future benefits,” Han Lu said calmly.
“Still so arrogant,” Lin Fan thought to himself. This guy was clearly trying to show off in front of him.
Meanwhile, Fang Han, though not fully understanding what was happening, sensed that something was definitely off with Han Lu.
“True, you may be strong now, but you’re still just a frog at the bottom of a well. Don’t bring trouble upon yourself,” Han Lu said calmly.
“Boom…”
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the depths of the void.
“Namo Shengdi…”
Han Lu lifted his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips. “The Heavenly Dao.”
Lin Fan stood silently, a slight ripple stirring within him. The situation was clearly becoming more complicated.
The entity inhabiting Han Lu called itself Namo Shengdi.
And that voice from the void—could it be the Heavenly Dao of the Cangling Continent?
“Namo Shengdi, I sensed your divine consciousness descend here long ago. How is the Upper Realm faring?” A brilliant seven-colored light shone from the void, condensing into the image of an ancient, aged figure.
“Senior Brother Lin, I beg you to let me go, I truly regret it. I shouldn’t have been so afraid back then, please…” Fang Han was genuinely terrified at this moment.
Under absolute dominance, Fang Han had already succumbed to fear.
If there was even a sliver of hope, he would never have begged for mercy, but now, not even a glimmer of hope was visible.
To die like this, he truly couldn’t accept it.
The inheritance of the Demon Emperor, unparalleled in the universe, as long as he lived, he could become a dominant figure in a realm. How could he just die like this…
“Do you think I would let you two go?” Lin Fan threw the remnants of the Jade Vase aside.
Han Lu ran over, clutching the fragments of the Jade Vase in his hands, his heart filled with immense sorrow.
His reliance was gone…
“Senior Brother Lin, please, for the sake of our former brotherhood, let me go. I will never dare again,” Fang Han pleaded, tears streaming down his face, but the anger in his heart was as destructive as the heavens and the earth.
Hate…
Why was the gap so vast? He was the one who had inherited the Demon Emperor’s legacy.
“It’s precisely because of our former brotherhood that I’ve wasted so much breath on you. Otherwise, you would have already been up there,” Lin Fan said with a cold laugh.
Revenge must be decisive. If one shows mercy, then what is the point of revenge?
“No… no,” Fang Han shook his head repeatedly. “Senior Brother, I have acquired many treasures over the years. I can give them all to you, just please let me go. I really don’t want to die…”
“Treasures? Do you think I lack treasures? If you had just left the sect out of fear back then, I wouldn’t have blamed you. But you killed our fellow disciple, Senior Brother Wang, to prove your loyalty. That, I cannot forgive,” Lin Fan sneered. He had already decided their fate.
“Ah…”
At this moment, Han Lu’s body suddenly underwent a transformation. A surge of energy instantly enveloped the entire training ground.
Lin Fan glanced over in surprise.
Han Lu’s long hair flowed, his entire body shrouded in a white mist.
Fang Han was also bewildered. He didn’t know what had happened to Han Lu, but now, no matter what, as long as he could save his life, he would do anything.
“Huh, is it that thing?” Lin Fan looked at the shattered Jade Vase on the ground, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Han Lu’s body trembled. The anger and sorrow in his eyes suddenly changed.
His aura became ethereal in that moment.
Then, the anomaly disappeared. Han Lu looked around, then at the shattered Jade Vase, before focusing his gaze on Lin Fan.
“This person is my chosen one. Let him go, and today’s destruction of my Jade Vase will be forgotten. How about it?” Though the words came from Han Lu’s mouth, Lin Fan knew it wasn’t Han Lu speaking.
“Oh, who are you?” Lin Fan laughed.
“Who I am is not for you to know. Just understand that I am not an existence you can comprehend at your current level. Forming a good relationship today will benefit you in the future,” Han Lu said.
“Quite arrogant,” Lin Fan thought, realizing this guy was trying to show off in front of him.
Fang Han, hearing their conversation, though not fully understanding what was happening, noticed that Han Lu seemed different now.
“No, though you are strong now, you are still a frog at the bottom of a well. Be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself,” Han Lu said calmly, standing there.
“Boom…”
At that moment, a loud noise came from the depths of the void.
“Nameless Saint Emperor…”
Han Lu looked up, a slight smile on his lips. “Heavenly Dao.”
Lin Fan stood there, a slight ripple in his heart. The situation was becoming complicated.
The entity attached to Han Lu was called the Nameless Saint Emperor.
And the voice from the void, could it be the Heavenly Dao of Cangling Continent?
“Nameless Saint Emperor, I sensed your divine consciousness descending here long ago. How is the Upper Realm?” The void was filled with a brilliant seven-colored light, which then condensed into an elderly figure.
“How the Upper Realm is, you need not know. But it seems you are not faring well either. The Supreme One has split you, and now you are probably only a quarter of your former self,” Han Lu said.
“Yes, I have completely separated from the Heavenly Dao of the Eastern Spirit Continent,” the Heavenly Dao said.
Fang Han was utterly bewildered. The changes were happening too fast.
But he had a feeling that today, he might escape death.
Lin Fan frowned. What were these two planning? But it didn’t matter; he would listen to what they had to say.
The elderly Heavenly Dao looked at Han Lu, then nodded, turning his gaze to Lin Fan. “You are Lin Fan.”
“That’s right, I am,” Lin Fan said, looking at the Heavenly Dao.
Though this was the Heavenly Dao, Lin Fan was not afraid.
“Let today’s matter end here. The Nine Great Sects cannot be without a leader, or there will be chaos,” the Heavenly Dao’s authoritative voice echoed.
“Haha…” Lin Fan laughed, saying nothing more.
The world fell silent.
The Empress, who had been standing there, spoke up, “Lin Fan, it is no longer within your power to act as you please. Do not disrupt the greater scheme.”
Lin Fan glanced at the Empress, saying nothing, then looked around, his gaze falling on the memorial tablets of his two senior brothers.
“Empress, I didn’t expect you to come,” Han Lu looked at the Empress, a hint of surprise in his voice, along with a mysterious smile.
“Yes,” the Empress nodded slightly at the Nameless Saint Emperor.
The three great beings seemed to have set Lin Fan and the others aside, conversing among themselves, discussing matters of the so-called Upper Realm.
To them, Lin Fan and the others were mere frogs at the bottom of a well, not worth worrying about.
Lin Fan looked at the three, then beckoned to the chick.
The chick glanced at the three, then came to Lin Fan.
“Chick, go inside for now. I’ll let you out later,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” The chick, always by Lin Fan’s side, understood what was about to happen. It extended its wing, forming a fist, as if to cheer him on.
Lin Fan placed the chick into his backpack, then took the memorial tablets of his two senior brothers in his hands. “Senior Brothers, just watch. Today, whoever dares to stand in my way, I will destroy them.”
After settling everything, Lin Fan approached Fang Han, who was filled with terror.
The True Essence Destruction Kick erupted instantly.
A scream echoed through the heavens and earth, and then he was thrown towards the Sky Pillar.
“Lin Fan, enough,” the Heavenly Dao roared, clearly displeased. “Do you dare defy the words of the Heavenly Dao?”
“Old fool, don’t waste your breath in front of me. These people deserve to die a thousand deaths,” Lin Fan said to the Heavenly Dao in the void. To him, what could the Heavenly Dao do?
“Insolence…” The Heavenly Dao’s anger shook the myriad realms. Thunder flashed in the void, as if to annihilate Lin Fan.
“Haha, Heavenly Dao, it seems you’re not up to the task. Even the lives under your control dare to defy you,” Han Lu said with a laugh.
“Lin Fan, these matters are beyond your control,” the Empress said, her eyes complex as she looked at Lin Fan.
“Shut up,” Lin Fan said, staring directly at the Empress. Then, he pulled out a handful of pills from his backpack. “The pills you gave me back then, I return them to you tenfold today.”
The “Supreme Pills” flew towards the Empress, landing at her feet.
With Lin Fan’s current alchemy skills, crafting these so-called “Supreme Pills” was a trivial matter.
The Empress looked at the pills at her feet, a look of surprise on her face.
“These people slaughtered the members of my Holy Demon Sect back then, and you, Heavenly Dao, did nothing. Now, I kill them as retribution.”
“If you want to save their lives, you’ll have to step over my corpse. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, I won’t give him face.”
At this moment, Lin Fan was ready for battle.
It’s either you die, or I perish.
“That is true. I have completely separated from the Heavenly Dao of the Dongling Continent,” the Heavenly Dao replied.
Fang Han wore a look of complete confusion. The developments were happening far too quickly for him to comprehend.
But he had a feeling—perhaps today, he might survive after all.
Lin Fan furrowed his brows. What were these two trying to do? Well, he might as well listen and see what they had to say.
The aged figure of the Heavenly Dao looked at Han Lu, then nodded and turned his gaze toward Lin Fan. “You are Lin Fan.”
“That’s right, I am,” Lin Fan replied, meeting the Heavenly Dao’s gaze.
Though this was the Heavenly Dao itself, Lin Fan felt no fear.
“Let today’s matter end here. The Nine Sects cannot be left without leadership, or it will bring catastrophe to all living beings,” the Heavenly Dao’s voice rang out with authority.
“Hehe…” Lin Fan chuckled slightly, saying nothing more.
Silence fell over the heavens.
The figure of the Heavenly Queen, who had stood quietly all this time, finally spoke. “Lin Fan, this is no longer a time for you to act as you please. You must not jeopardize the greater matters at hand.”
Lin Fan glanced at the Heavenly Queen but said nothing. Instead, he looked around and then at the memorial tablets of his two senior brothers.
“Empress, I didn’t expect you to come as well,” Han Lu turned to the Heavenly Queen, a hint of surprise in his tone, along with a mysterious smile.
“That’s right,” the Heavenly Queen nodded slightly toward Namo Shengdi.
At this moment, the three great beings seemed to completely ignore Lin Fan and the others, engaging in conversation among themselves, discussing matters of the Upper Realm.
To them, Lin Fan and the rest were merely frogs at the bottom of a well—insignificant and unworthy of concern.
Lin Fan looked at the three of them, then motioned to Ji Zai.
Ji Zai glanced at the three beings, then hurried to Lin Fan’s side.
“Ji Zai, go inside for now. I’ll let you out later,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
“Cock-a-doodle-doo…” Ji Zai had always followed Lin Fan and understood perfectly what was about to happen. He stretched out his wing, forming a fist, giving Lin Fan a thumbs-up.
Lin Fan placed Ji Zai into his bag, then picked up the memorial tablets of his two senior brothers. “Senior brothers, just watch. Today, whoever dares to stand in my way—I will destroy them.”
After finishing these preparations, Lin Fan approached Fang Han, who wore an expression of terror.
The Ultimate Destruction Foot Technique erupted instantly.
“Senior Brother Lin, I beg you to let me go, I truly regret it. I shouldn’t have been so afraid back then, please…” Fang Han was genuinely terrified now.
Under absolute domination, Fang Han had long been overwhelmed by fear.
If there was even the slightest chance of survival, he would never have begged for mercy, but now, not even a glimmer of hope was visible.
To die like this, he truly couldn’t accept it.
The inheritance of the Demon Emperor, unparalleled in the universe, as long as he lived, he could surely become a figure who dominated a realm. How could he just die like this…
“Do you think I would let you two go?” Lin Fan threw the remnants of the Jade Vase aside.
Han Lu ran over, clutching the fragments of the Jade Vase in his hands, his heart filled with immense sorrow.
His reliance was gone…
“Senior Brother Lin, for the sake of our former brotherhood, please let me go. I will never dare again,” Fang Han pleaded, but the anger in his heart was like a cataclysm.
Hatred…
Why was the gap so vast? He was the one who had inherited the Demon Emperor’s legacy.
“It’s precisely because of our former brotherhood that I’ve wasted so much time talking to you. Otherwise, you would have already been up there,” Lin Fan said with a cold laugh.
Revenge must be decisive. If you show mercy and let them go, what kind of revenge is that?
“No… no,” Fang Han shook his head repeatedly. “Senior Brother, I’ve acquired many treasures over the years. I can give them all to you, just spare my life. I really don’t want to die…”
“Treasures? Do you think I lack treasures? Back then, even if you left the sect out of fear, I wouldn’t have blamed you. But you killed our fellow disciple, Brother Wang, to prove your loyalty. That, I cannot forgive,” Lin Fan sneered. He had already decided their fate.
“Ah…”
At that moment, Han Lu’s body suddenly underwent a transformation, and a surge of energy instantly enveloped the entire training ground.

“Oh, who are you?” Lin Fan laughed.

Fang Han was utterly bewildered. Everything was happening too fast.

Lin Fan frowned. What were these two up to? But never mind, he would listen to what they had to say.
The elderly Heavenly Dao looked at Han Lu, then nodded and turned his gaze to Lin Fan. “You are Lin Fan.”
“That’s right, I am,” Lin Fan replied, looking at the Heavenly Dao.
Even though this was the Heavenly Dao, Lin Fan was not afraid.

“Empress, I didn’t expect you to come,” Han Lu looked at the Empress, a hint of surprise in his voice, along with a mysterious smile.
“Yes,” the Empress nodded slightly at the Nameless Saint Emperor.
The three great beings now seemed to disregard Lin Fan and the others, conversing among themselves about the so-called Upper Realm.
To them, Lin Fan and the others were just frogs in a well, not worth worrying about.
Lin Fan looked at the three, then beckoned to the chick.
The chick glanced at the three, then came to Lin Fan.

After settling all this, Lin Fan approached the terrified Fang Han.
The True Essence Destruction Kick erupted instantly.
A scream echoed through the heavens and earth, and then he was thrown towards the Sky Pillar.
“Lin Fan, enough,” the Heavenly Dao roared, clearly displeased. “Do you dare defy even my words?”
“Old fool, don’t waste your breath in front of me. These people deserve to die,” Lin Fan said to the Heavenly Dao in the void. To him, what could the Heavenly Dao do?
“Insolent…” The Heavenly Dao’s anger caused the myriad realms to tremble, and thunder flashed in the void, as if to obliterate Lin Fan.
“Haha, Heavenly Dao, it seems you’re not up to the task. Even the lives under your control dare to defy you,” Han Lu laughed.
“Lin Fan, these matters are beyond your control,” the Empress said with a complex look.
“Shut up,” Lin Fan said directly to the Empress, then pulled out a handful of pills from his backpack. “The pills you gave me back then, today I return them to you tenfold.”
The “Supreme Pills” flew towards the Empress, landing at her feet.
With Lin Fan’s current alchemy skills, crafting these so-called “Supreme Pills” was a trivial matter.
The Empress looked at the pills at her feet, a look of surprise on her face.
“These people slaughtered the disciples of our Holy Demon Sect back then, and you, the Heavenly Dao, did nothing. Now, it’s only natural that I kill them. It’s retribution.”
“If you want to save their lives, you’ll have to step over my corpse. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, I won’t give him face.”
At this moment, Lin Fan was ready for battle.
It’s either you die, or I perish.
“Enough, Lin Fan!” The Heavenly Dao roared in anger, clearly displeased. “Do you dare defy me, the Heavenly Dao itself?”
“Foolish old man, don’t waste your breath on me. These people deserve death,” Lin Fan replied, staring at the Heavenly Dao in the void. To him, what was the Heavenly Dao?
“Reckless…” The Heavenly Dao’s fury shook the ten thousand worlds. Lightning crackled in the void, as if preparing to obliterate Lin Fan.
“Haha, Heavenly Dao, it seems you’re not as powerful as you claim. The lives under your control dare to rebel against you,” Han Lu laughed.
“Lin Fan, these matters are beyond your control,” the Heavenly Queen said, looking at Lin Fan with complex eyes.
“Shut up,” Lin Fan stared directly at the Heavenly Queen. Then he pulled out a handful of pills from his bag. “The pills you gave me back then—I return them to you tenfold today.”
The “Supreme Pills” flew toward the Heavenly Queen and landed at her feet.
With Lin Fan’s current pill-refining skills, crafting these so-called “Supreme Pills” was now effortless.
The Heavenly Queen looked down at the pills at her feet, a look of astonishment crossing her face.
“These people slaughtered my fellow disciples of the Holy Demon Sect back then. You, the Heavenly Dao, did nothing. Now, killing them is merely the natural cycle of justice.”
“If you want to save their lives, you’ll have to step over my dead body. Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself came, I wouldn’t give him this face.”
At this moment, Lin Fan was fully prepared for battle.
It was either their death or his.
