Chapter 636: Having a powerful backer is indeed advantageous.

The Eight Great Peaks of the Ancient Sage Realm stood as the highest places.

Surrounded by eight towering spires, at the bottom of an endless black abyss, a woman of peerless beauty and imposing majesty stood.

“Heh, the principles of water and fire are not something you can even begin to comprehend,” said the Emperor of Water and Fire. Though currently sealed within this boundless abyss by the Eight Ancient Clans, his aura remained undiminished. His robe of water and fire draped over his body, exuding an aura that inspired fear.

Water and fire do not mix. Even the Water and Fire Emperor, with his profound cultivation spanning eons and his mastery over the two ultimate truths, struggled to unify them. His path toward their fusion had always been slow and arduous.

Yet the aura he now exuded felt strangely different.

The softness of water and the fury of fire alternated, embodying the cosmic principles of Yin and Yang, swirling beneath his feet like a Tai Chi diagram. With a single step forward, he seemed capable of inverting Yin and Yang, and reversing the heavens themselves.

“Water and Fire Emperor, how is your aura possible?” The main body of Jie looked at the Water and Fire Emperor with astonishment.

The Water and Fire Emperor smiled faintly. “You wouldn’t understand.”

“Indeed, I don’t. But today, I encountered something amusing. A human bore traces of your aura, but now he’s already been swallowed by me, with no chance of escape,” Jie said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, the Water and Fire Emperor furrowed his brow. Could it be that person?

“It seems you do know him. Your two ultimate truths have gradually begun to fuse—surely it’s because of him. Never thought that after waging war across countless eons and transmigrating through countless lifetimes, the pure and noble Water and Fire Emperor would fall for a mere human ant. Truly a disgraceful descent, hahaha…” Jie laughed arrogantly, clearly delighted.

“Jie, you are but a rising newcomer. Were it not for Heaven’s decree suppressing me, I would slay you like a dog. Believe me, if you dare harm that human, you will die.” The Water and Fire Emperor’s expression was sharp, his words carrying the weight of certainty.

Jie’s expression darkened, clearly displeased by the Water and Fire Emperor’s warning.

“Hmph, Water and Fire Emperor, you can barely save yourself. Think about your own fate instead. That human won’t die—no, I’ll make him my slave, tormented endlessly. I’ll let you watch as the one you favor becomes a loyal, filthy dog before the Ancient Clans.” Jie roared with menace.

“At the dawn of the wilderness, water and fire gave birth to all things, bringing forth the glory of heaven and earth.”

In an instant, the Water and Fire Emperor’s robe fluttered without wind, his delicate hands moving gracefully.

Time, space—each appeared before the Water and Fire Emperor.

Scene after scene unfolded, as if spanning the ages.

Life awakened: “Fire” lifted beings from a bestial existence, while “Water” cleansed them of filth.

One vision after another passed like a procession, depicting epoch after epoch.

The living beings worshipped “Water” and “Fire.”

To countless beings, these were divine gifts from Heaven.

Gradually, “Water” and “Fire” gained consciousness and began to transform.

Boom!

The Water and Fire Emperor pointed a finger, unleashing a beam of light that pierced through everything and directly entered Jie’s body.

“My power is supreme, my majesty unmatched. Even through countless rebirths, my soul shall never perish.”

At that moment, Jie’s expression changed drastically. “Water and Fire Emperor, you dare strike me?”

“Jie, in my eyes, you are still too weak. All the other Supreme Beings have existed for eons, while you are but a pitiful insect.”

Calm and composed, the Water and Fire Emperor gradually faded into the darkness.

“Damn it!” Jie, watching all this, was consumed by rage, unable to contain his fury.

At this moment, Lin Fan faced Jie’s attack. Though his heart was somewhat tense, he was not afraid in the slightest.

“Master, give me one thousand five hundred billion Holy Sun Pills, and let me go berserk!” The ancient great demon roared. Now they were no longer destitute; an endless supply of Holy Sun Pills could push him to a state of unparalleled power.

“I want some too! My Thunder Discipline King Art is aching for action!”

“Alright, everyone, prepare yourselves. What if he’s a Supreme Ancient? Today, we’ll show him our strength.”

“Burn! Burn!”

In an instant, hundreds of billions of Holy Sun Pills exploded, transforming into a vast river of power that surged into the bodies of the “Ancient Demon City” and the “Thunder Discipline King.”

“Ahh!”

The ancient great demon roared furiously. His aura grew stronger and stronger, mysterious runes glowing with brilliance, each exuding profound and mysterious energy.

An ancient great demon, a king among demons.

“Damn you! Daring to use the wealth of this Supreme Being—die!” Jie roared furiously, his heart ablaze with boundless rage.

“Jie, don’t be arrogant! When I, the Demon Emperor, roamed the Ancient Sage Realm, you were still playing in the mud. Die!”

The ancient great demon bellowed, throwing a punch that unleashed immense force, shaking the heavens and earth, capable of annihilating everything.

“Brother Demon, I’ll assist you!” At this moment, the Thunder Discipline King, empowered by the Holy Sun Pills, had grown to a towering height. Sitting atop his twelve-petaled lotus throne, his whip danced across the sky.

Whoosh!

The whip lashed forth, delivering a mighty blow toward Jie’s hand.

“How is this possible!” In that instant, Jie’s expression changed drastically. The combustion of hundreds of billions of Holy Sun Pills had allowed the ancient great demon and the Thunder Discipline King to unleash their ultimate move.

This strike could destroy the heavens and earth, capable of annihilating even gods.

Though Lin Fan felt a pang of regret in his heart, if this could eliminate this clone, it would all be worth it.

But in Lin Fan’s eyes, this move was simply too extravagant—hundreds of billions of Holy Sun Pills detonated at once. What a concept!

Jie, the Supreme Ancient, had accumulated only three trillion over ten thousand years, and now Lin Fan had used a tenth of that. The cost was truly terrifying.

Crack!

Under this devastating strike, Jie’s arm seemed to suffer an unstoppable force, shattering bit by bit.

“Damn you! You dare destroy my arm! I’ll make you die!” Jie, now furious, unleashed a vast power.

“Mercy, Supreme One!”

“Mercy, Supreme One!”

Ten elders pleaded for their lives, their bodies swaying like small boats in a storm, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

With a flick of his sleeve, Jie moved the ten elders elsewhere. These elders were his source of wealth and could not be allowed to perish. They were still needed to continuously refine Holy Sun Pills for him.

“Human, today you shall die.” The body of the Supreme Ancient Jie swelled, his aura rising rapidly.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt helpless. If this continued, what could he do?

Even with three trillion Holy Sun Pills, it would be nearly impossible to kill this opponent, given Lin Fan’s own weak cultivation base.

Boom!

Just as Lin Fan prepared for death, a mysterious force suddenly pierced through and surrounded Jie.

“Water and Fire Emperor! You dare channel your power through my own body! You want to save this human? I won’t let you succeed!” Jie roared furiously, his palm striking out like a mountain of five fingers, enveloping Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn’t yet understand what had just happened, but upon hearing the name “Water and Fire Emperor,” his heart leapt with joy. It was truly comforting to have a powerful backer.

In times of crisis, someone always came to help.

But Lin Fan had no intention of thanking the Water and Fire Emperor. After all, his frail body had been ravaged by the Emperor’s power. A little compensation was only fair.

Looking at the current situation, Jie had sealed him away and was now focusing on resisting the Water and Fire Emperor’s power.

Once Jie defeated the Emperor’s force, it would be Lin Fan’s turn.
