Chapter 432: Let the Battle Begin

After Lin Fan left, the group of men from the Sacred Sect felt somewhat displeased. How could they allow a young girl to lead the Sacred Sect? Wasn’t that an insult to all of them?

Ye Han looked at them, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She could tell that these people were now intrigued by her. She then clasped her hands and began conversing with the crowd.

The discussion seemed to stretch on endlessly… The Sacred Sect members were instantly left stunned.

At this moment, Lin Fan tore through space and rushed toward the Xuanjian Pavilion. Just now, he had sensed a ripple of power.

It was the backlash from the protective artifact he had given to Yun Xian being attacked.

Clearly, Yun Xian and the others were under assault as well. Lin Fan wasn’t particularly worried about Yun Xian or his convenient “son,” but regardless, the Xuanjian Pavilion was Yun Xian’s sect. He felt he should go and lend a hand.

If the Pavilion suffered heavy losses, Yun Xian would surely be heartbroken.

The geographical location of the Xuanjian Pavilion was quite advantageous, built atop the “Heavenly Sword,” so it would take some time for the fierce beasts to reach it.

Yun Xian and the other senior elders stood at the forefront, resisting the attacks of the beasts.

When spatial rifts appeared around the Xuanjian Pavilion, they were left stunned. And upon seeing these beasts, they felt a surge of fear.

These beasts were vastly different from the native beasts of Dongling Continent.

They were far more powerful than the local beasts.

And even more shocking to them was the fact that there were humanoid beasts among them.

According to the sect’s records, humanoid beasts were among the most powerful of all beasts. They could cultivate like humans and possessed intelligence equal to humans, capable of reasoning and thought.

Other disciples of the sect were now huddled together, unable to offer any assistance. Any one of these beasts could instantly slaughter them.

“Master, at this rate, we won’t be able to hold out for long,” said a senior elder after slaying a beast, his expression filled with concern.

“This time is different. If it weren’t for Master Yan’s warning a few months ago, the Xuanjian Pavilion would have already been destroyed,” said the former sect leader.

Months ago, when they first heard that the Beast Spirit Realm would invade Dongling Continent, they had been shocked beyond words.

What was the Beast Spirit Realm? It was a place filled with countless ferocious beasts, their numbers uncountable, rivaling humanity in sheer might.

“Roar…”

A deafening roar echoed across the heavens and earth as more beasts surged out of the spatial rifts.

After Lin Fan left, the group of elders in the Holy Sect felt somewhat displeased. How could they let a young girl take charge of the Holy Sect? Wasn’t this a slight to their dignity as senior members?

Ye Han looked at them, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She could tell that these people were intrigued by her, and she began to engage them in conversation with a respectful gesture.

The discussion seemed to stretch on endlessly, leaving the Holy Sect members utterly bewildered.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan tore through the void, heading towards the Profound Sword Pavilion. He had just sensed a feedback of power—a reflection of the defensive treasure he had given to Yun Xian being struck.

Clearly, Yun Xian and the others were under attack. Lin Fan wasn’t overly concerned about Yun Xian or his adopted son, but regardless, the Profound Sword Pavilion was Yun Xian’s sect, and he felt compelled to lend a hand.

If the losses were severe, Yun Xian would surely be heartbroken.

The Profound Sword Pavilion was strategically located atop the “Heavenly Sword,” giving the beasts some time before they could reach it.

Yun Xian and the elders stood their ground, fending off the onslaught of beasts.

When the void rift appeared around the Profound Sword Pavilion, they were stunned. The sight of these beasts filled them with terror.

These beasts were vastly different from the native creatures of the Eastern Spirit Continent.

They were far more powerful.

What shocked them even more was the presence of humanoid beasts.

According to the sect’s records, humanoid beasts were among the most formidable creatures. They could cultivate like humans and possessed intelligence comparable to humans, capable of rational thought.

The other disciples of the Profound Sword Pavilion huddled together, unable to assist in any way. Any one of these beasts could annihilate them in an instant.

“Sect Leader, I fear we won’t be able to hold out much longer,” an elder said, his face filled with worry after slaying a beast.

“This is no ordinary situation. If it weren’t for Sect Leader Yan’s warning months ago, the Profound Sword Pavilion would have already been destroyed,” the former sect leader remarked.

Months ago, when they heard that the Beast Spirit Realm would invade the Eastern Spirit Continent, they were terrified.

The Beast Spirit Realm was a place teeming with ferocious beasts, their numbers beyond count, rivaling even the human population.

“Roar…”

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens as beasts poured out of the void rift.

“Beast Spirit Realm, Hell Clan, we vow to conquer the Profound Yellow Realm,” a humanoid beast declared, emerging from the rift.

Its towering, grotesque form loomed over the land, three heads snarling, its body wreathed in crackling lightning, descending upon the Profound Sword Pavilion like a god of destruction.

“Trouble, a powerful foe has arrived,” everyone’s faces turned pale as the overwhelming aura swept through the heavens, instilling fear in their hearts.

Liu Lingfeng gazed at the towering humanoid beast, his expression shifting.

“Father, grant me strength!” Liu Lingfeng shouted, eager to join the fight, but he knew his strength was no match for these beasts.

“Senior Brother, it’s useless…” his junior sisters said in terror.

“Nonsense, who says it’s useless?” Liu Lingfeng refused to believe it and shouted again.

“Father, grant me strength!”

“Ah, it seems it really is useless,” Liu Lingfeng eventually gave up, sitting down on the ground in frustration.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted elsewhere.

“Sect Leader, be careful!” everyone screamed in horror as the humanoid beast launched a devastating punch.

Yun Xian’s face paled as she tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Having just slain a beast, she was caught off guard by the humanoid beast’s earth-shattering punch.

“Bang…”

Yun Xian braced for death, but in an instant, a radiant light blocked the beast’s fist.

“He saved me,” Yun Xian realized, looking at the glowing bracelet on her wrist, a hint of longing in her eyes.

“Human, let’s see how long you can hold out,” the Hell Clan humanoid beast roared, launching another world-shattering punch, determined to crush this human.

“Outrageous!” Lin Fan, who had just torn through the void, was furious at the sight.

“It’s Father!” Liu Lingfeng exclaimed, jumping for joy.

Yun Xian’s face lit up as she looked into the distance.

Lin Fan’s cultivation had reached unprecedented heights, and his speed through the void was now terrifying.

The gap between the Heavenly Rank and the Great Heavenly Rank was like the difference between heaven and earth.

The journey from the Holy Sect to the Profound Sword Pavilion, though long, took Lin Fan only a few breaths.

“Boom…”

Lin Fan appeared instantly before Yun Xian, blocking the Hell Clan humanoid beast’s punch with one hand. He turned to her with a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

A simple sentence, yet it filled Yun Xian with immense reassurance.

“One Finger Annihilation.”

A vast, overwhelming power erupted from Lin Fan’s body.

“How is this possible…” the Hell Clan humanoid beast roared in disbelief, feeling the destructive force that could annihilate the heavens and the earth.

The power relentlessly tore through the beast’s body, shattering it piece by piece.

“No…” the Hell Clan humanoid beast let out a final, unwilling roar.

“Ding, congratulations on slaying a Great Heavenly Rank Perfection humanoid beast.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining experience…”

Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, absorbing the humanoid beast into the Heavenly Furnace.

“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”

“Ding, congratulations on obtaining thirty chains of rules.”

The beasts that had emerged from the void rift, seeing their leader subdued by this human, panicked and scattered, desperate to escape.

“Hmph, trying to run? In your dreams.”

“Skyrend…” Lin Fan summoned the Eternal Axe and swung it down, splitting the heavens and the earth.

A destructive axe light tore through the sky, annihilating all the beasts.

“Father…” Liu Lingfeng, mesmerized by Lin Fan’s heroic stance, ran towards him.

“Time is short, everyone, follow me to the Holy Sect,” Lin Fan kicked Liu Lingfeng away. There was no time for clinging now.

Liu Lingfeng, seeing his father treat him this way, slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with sorrow and resentment.

“Stay safe,” Yun Xian held Lin Fan’s hand, her eyes filled with concern.

Lin Fan looked at her and nodded, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. This will pass.”

“I believe you.”

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Fan tore through the void, leading everyone towards the Holy Sect.

The world was vast, and Lin Fan was no deity. He couldn’t save everyone. Given the current situation, there was still a greater threat lurking in the shadows, waiting for him.

At that moment, in a mysterious place in the Eastern Spirit Continent, the homeland of the woman Lin Fan had once mistaken for the Heavenly Empress, four elders sat with their eyes closed. Suddenly, their eyes snapped open.

“It has finally come.”

“Yes, I have come to reclaim my body,” a black-robed figure appeared above the coffin at the center of the altar.

The four elders trembled at the sight of the black-robed figure and shouted, “Feixue, run!”

Ni Feixue, who looked exactly like the Heavenly Empress, slowly walked out and gazed at the black-robed figure, “You should not continue this slaughter.”

“Hmph,” the black-robed figure snorted, unleashing a surge of overwhelming power that enveloped the entire island.

Its towering, monstrous form loomed over the heavens and earth, its three heads roaring in unison, its body wreathed in bolts of lightning, descending upon the Xuanjian Pavilion like a god of destruction.

“Oh no, a powerful enemy has arrived,” the crowd’s expressions changed drastically. This overwhelming presence swept across the heavens and earth, instilling fear in their hearts.

Liu Lingfeng stared at the colossal humanoid beast before him, his expression shifting as well.

“Father, grant me your power!” Liu Lingfeng roared as he tried to rush forward, but he knew his strength was no match for these beasts.

After Lin Fan left, the group of elders in the Holy Sect felt somewhat displeased. How could they let a young girl take charge of the Holy Sect? Wasn’t this a slight to them, a group of seasoned men?

Ye Han looked at them, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She could tell that these men were intrigued by her. She then clasped her hands and began to converse with them.

Their conversation seemed to stretch on endlessly… The Holy Sect members were instantly dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan tore through the void, heading towards the Profound Sword Pavilion. He had just sensed a feedback of power—a reflection of the defensive treasure he had given to Yun Xian being struck.

Clearly, Yun Xian and the others were under attack. Lin Fan wasn’t worried about Yun Xian or his so-called “cheap son,” but regardless, the Profound Sword Pavilion was Yun Xian’s sect, and he felt obliged to lend a hand.

If the losses were severe, Yun Xian would surely be heartbroken.

The Profound Sword Pavilion was strategically located atop the “Heavenly Sword,” giving the beasts some time before they could charge in.

Yun Xian and the elder council stood their ground, fending off the onslaught of the beasts.

When the void rift appeared around the Profound Sword Pavilion, they were stunned. And when they saw the beasts, a sense of dread rose within them.

These beasts were vastly different from the native creatures of the Eastern Spirit Continent.

They were far more powerful than the local beasts.

What shocked them even more was the presence of humanoid beasts.

According to the sect’s records, humanoid beasts were among the most formidable creatures. They could cultivate like humans and possessed intelligence comparable to humans, capable of thought.

The other disciples of the Profound Sword Pavilion huddled together, unable to offer any assistance. Any one of these beasts could annihilate them in an instant.

“Sect Master, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold out much longer,” one of the elders said with concern after slaying a beast.

“This is no ordinary situation. If it weren’t for Sect Master Yan’s warning months ago, the Profound Sword Pavilion would have already fallen,” the former sect master remarked.

Months ago, when they heard that the Beast Spirit Realm would invade the Eastern Spirit Continent, they were terrified.

The Beast Spirit Realm—what did that even mean? It was a place teeming with incredibly ferocious beasts, their numbers beyond count, rivaling even the human population.

“Roar…”

A deafening roar echoed across the heavens and earth as countless beasts surged out of the void rift.

“Beast Spirit Realm, Hell Clan, we vow to trample the Profound Yellow Realm,” a humanoid beast declared as it emerged from the rift.

Its towering, menacing figure loomed over the land, its three heads snarling ferociously. Bolts of lightning coiled around its body, making it appear like a god of destruction descending upon the Profound Sword Pavilion.

“This is bad, a powerful foe has arrived,” everyone’s expressions changed as the overwhelming aura swept through the heavens and earth, instilling fear in their hearts.

Liu Lingfeng gazed at the towering humanoid beast, his face also paling.

“Father, grant me strength!” Liu Lingfeng roared, wanting to step forward and help, but he knew his strength was no match for these beasts.

“Senior Brother, it’s useless…” his junior sisters said in terror.

“Nonsense, who says it’s useless?” Liu Lingfeng refused to believe it and roared again.

“Father, grant me strength!”

“Ah, it seems it really is useless,” Liu Lingfeng eventually gave up, slumping to the ground in frustration.

At that moment, chaos erupted.

“Sect Master, be careful!” everyone screamed in panic as they saw the humanoid beast’s fist hurtling towards them.

Yun Xian’s expression also changed as she tried to dodge, but it was too late.

She had just slain a beast when the humanoid beast seized the opportunity, its fist crashing down like a meteor.

“Boom…”

Yun Xian braced for death, but in an instant, a radiant light appeared before her, blocking the beast’s fist.

“He saved me,” Yun Xian realized, looking at the glowing bracelet on her wrist, a hint of longing in her eyes.

“Human, let’s see how long you can hold out,” the Hell Clan humanoid beast roared, its fist tearing through the heavens and earth once more, determined to crush this human.

“Outrageous!” Lin Fan, who had just pierced through the void, was furious when he saw this.

“It’s Father!” Liu Lingfeng heard the voice and began jumping around in joy.

Yun Xian also smiled with relief, looking towards the distance.

Lin Fan’s cultivation had long since surpassed what it once was. His speed through the void had reached a terrifying level.

The gap between the Heaven Realm and the Great Heaven Realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Though the distance from the Holy Sect to the Profound Sword Pavilion was vast, for Lin Fan, it was merely a matter of moments.

“Boom…”

Lin Fan appeared instantly before Yun Xian, blocking the Hell Clan humanoid beast’s fist with one hand. He then turned and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

A simple sentence, yet it filled Yun Xian with an immense sense of security.

“One Finger Annihilation.”

A vast, overwhelming power erupted from Lin Fan’s body.

“How is this possible?” the Hell Clan humanoid beast roared in disbelief, feeling the destructive force that could annihilate heaven and earth. It couldn’t believe that a human could possess such power.

The force relentlessly tore through the beast’s body, shattering it piece by piece.

“No!” the Hell Clan humanoid beast let out a final roar, filled with unwillingness.

“Ding, congratulations on slaying a Great Heaven Realm humanoid beast.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining experience…”

Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, absorbing the humanoid beast into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”

“Ding, congratulations on obtaining thirty chains of rules.”

The beasts that had emerged from the void rift, seeing their leader subdued by this human, panicked and scattered, trying to flee.

“Hmph, trying to run? Dream on.”

“Skyrend!” Lin Fan summoned the Eternal Axe and swung it down, causing the heavens and earth to split.

A destructive axe light tore through the sky, annihilating all the beasts.

“Father!” Liu Lingfeng, captivated by Lin Fan’s heroic stance, ran towards him.

“Time is tight, everyone, follow me to the Holy Sect,” Lin Fan kicked Liu Lingfeng away. There was no time for clinging now.

Liu Lingfeng, seeing his father treat him like this, slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment and sorrow.

“Don’t let anything happen to you,” Yun Xian held Lin Fan’s hand, her eyes filled with worry.

Lin Fan looked at Yun Xian and nodded, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. This will all pass.”

“Yes, I believe you.”

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Fan led everyone through the void, heading towards the Holy Sect.

The world was vast, and Lin Fan was no deity. He couldn’t save everyone. Given the current situation, there was still a major boss lurking in the shadows, waiting for him.

At that moment, in a mysterious location in the Eastern Spirit Continent—the homeland of the woman Lin Fan had once mistaken for the Heavenly Empress—four elders sat with their eyes closed. In an instant, their eyes snapped open.

“Finally, it’s here.”

“Yes, I’ve come to reclaim my body,” a black-robed figure suddenly appeared above the coffin at the center of the altar.

The four elders trembled at the sight of the black-robed figure and shouted, “Fei Xue, run!”

Ni Fei Xue, who looked exactly like the Heavenly Empress, slowly walked out and gazed at the black-robed figure. “You shouldn’t continue this slaughter.”

“Hmph,” the black-robed figure snorted, unleashing a surge of overwhelming power that enveloped the entire island.

“Nonsense! Who says it’s useless!” Liu Lingfeng refused to believe it and roared again.

“Father, grant me your power!”

“Ah, looks like it really was useless,” Liu Lingfeng finally gave up completely as time passed, sitting down on the ground with a helpless expression.

At that moment, a crisis erupted on the battlefield.

“Master, look out!” Seeing the humanoid beast throw a punch, the crowd screamed in terror.

At this moment, Xuan Yunxian’s expression also changed. She tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

Just moments ago, she had slain a beast, but the humanoid beast seized the chance, delivering a punch that shattered the heavens.

“Bang…”

Xuan Yunxian braced herself for death, but in an instant, she noticed a beam of light blocking the beast’s punch.

“He saved me,” Xuan Yunxian realized, looking at the glowing bracelet on her wrist with a hint of longing.

“Human, let’s see how long you can hold out,” the Hell Clan humanoid beast roared into the sky, delivering another punch that shattered the heavens, determined to crush this human.

“Reckless…” At that moment, Lin Fan, who had torn through space, saw the scene and was filled with rage.

“It’s Father!” Hearing his voice, Liu Lingfeng jumped up and down joyfully.

Upon hearing this voice, Xuan Yunxian’s face lit up as she turned her gaze toward the distance.

Lin Fan’s current cultivation level was incomparably superior. His speed of traversing space had already reached a terrifying level.

The gap between the Zenith Heaven and Great Heaven realms was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Although the journey from the Sacred Sect to the Xuanjian Pavilion was long, for Lin Fan, it was merely a matter of seconds.

“Boom…”

In an instant, Lin Fan appeared before Xuan Yunxian, blocking the punch of the Hell Clan humanoid beast with one hand. He then turned his head and smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

A simple sentence, yet it gave Xuan Yunxian an infinite sense of security.

“One Finger of Annihilation.”

A vast power erupted from Lin Fan’s body.

“How is this possible…” The Hell Clan humanoid beast roared into the sky, feeling the devastating power. He couldn’t believe that a human could possess such immense strength.

This power relentlessly destroyed the beast’s body, causing it to crumble piece by piece.

“No…” The Hell Clan humanoid beast let out a final roar, filled with bitterness and unwillingness.

“Ding, Congratulations on defeating a Great Heaven Realm Peak humanoid beast.”

“Ding, Congratulations on gaining experience…”

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Fan sealed the beast into the Celestial Crucible.

“Ding, Congratulations on successful refinement.”

“Ding, Congratulations on obtaining thirty chains of rules.”

The beasts emerging from the spatial rifts, seeing their leader defeated by this human, showed expressions of terror, fleeing in all directions, trying to escape.

“Hmph, you want to run? Pure fantasy.”

“Celestial Expanse…” Lin Fan drew the Eternal Axe and swung it down, causing the heavens and earth to shatter.

A devastating axe beam tore through the heavens and earth, slaughtering all the beasts.

“Father…” Seeing Lin Fan’s heroic figure, Liu Lingfeng was instantly captivated and rushed toward him.

“There’s no time, follow me to the Sacred Sect,” Lin Fan kicked Liu Lingfeng into the air. At a time like this, there was no time for sentimental reunions.

Seeing how his father treated him, Liu Lingfeng landed on the ground with a thud, looking at Lin Fan with a hurt and resentful gaze.

“Don’t get hurt,” Xuan Yunxian held Lin Fan’s hand, her eyes filled with concern.

Lin Fan looked at Xuan Yunxian and nodded, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

“Yes, I believe you.”

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Lin Fan took everyone and tore through space, heading toward the Sacred Sect.

The world was vast, and Lin Fan was no god—he couldn’t save everyone. Judging from the current situation, there was still a major boss lurking in the shadows, waiting for him.

At this moment, in a mysterious place in Dongling Continent, the homeland of the woman Lin Fan had once mistaken for the Queen of Heaven.

Four elderly men sat with their eyes closed, but in an instant, their eyes snapped open.

“It has finally come.”

“Yes, I have come to reclaim my body.” Above the altar, at the center of the coffin, a figure in black robes suddenly appeared.

Seeing this figure in black robes, the four elders trembled violently before shouting, “Feixue, run quickly.”

Ni Feixue, who looked exactly like the Queen of Heaven, slowly stepped forward, facing the figure in black robes, “You should not bring more bloodshed.”

“Hmph.” The figure in black robes snorted coldly, a surging power erupting forth, enveloping the entire island.
