Chapter 84: Unleash, Lin Fan

“Saint Devil Ancestor, look at your Saint Devil Sect. If you don’t want it to perish forever, hand over the Divine Blood, strip yourself of your heavenly position, and allow your sect to barely survive,” cackled the Black Robe Ancestor.

“Our disciples would rather die in battle than surrender with honor. If you destroy my sect, even if I die, I will drag you all with me,” the Saint Devil Ancestor replied, gazing at his disciples being slaughtered by the Nine Great Sects, his heart bleeding at the sight of his beloved disciples perishing.

At that moment, the Saint Devil Ancestor’s long black hair flew wildly as his aura surged, shaking the very void as if it were shattering.

“Devouring Heaven Demon Blade!”

Seeing the Saint Devil Ancestor drawing his life-bound weapon, the Nine Sect Leaders’ expressions hardened. They no longer held back. If they failed to kill the Saint Devil Ancestor today, there would be no peace for them in the future.

“Kill!”

With a furious roar, the Saint Devil Ancestor swung the Devouring Heaven Demon Blade. A black light surged forth, covering the void and piercing through layers of space, rushing toward the Nine Sect Leaders with unstoppable might.

Lin Fan, hidden in stealth, continued to kill disciples of the enemy sects at the early and middle stages of the Divine Realm. Watching the chaos around him, he saw elders of his sect being crushed to death by multiple elders of the enemy sects.

Senior Brother Meng Yangquan was also severely wounded, on the verge of being killed by an enemy sect expert at the Divine Realm.

As Lin Fan continued to slaughter enemy disciples, suddenly his hairs stood on end as an overwhelming pressure locked onto him.

Lin Fan looked up and saw a gigantic palm formed from true energy descending from the sky, like the Five-Finger Mountain sealing his position, making escape impossible.

“Am I really going to die here?” Lin Fan roared, his true energy surging violently. If he couldn’t escape, he would fight with everything he had.

“Junior Brother, watch out!”

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared and pushed him aside.

Lin Fan was stunned, but when he saw who had pushed him, he cried out in anguish.

“Senior Brother Ni…”

Lin Fan never expected Senior Brother Ni to take the blow for him. That strike was meant for him.

Lin Fan looked up at the enemy disciple floating in the sky.

“Divine Realm, eighth stage.”

Lin Fan immediately rushed to Senior Brother Ni’s side. The senior was drenched in blood. The true energy behind that palm strike was so violent that even Lin Fan himself couldn’t have resisted it, let alone Senior Brother Ni.

“Senior Brother… how could you…” Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang, his eyes instantly filling with tears.

“Junior Brother, don’t be sad. It’s a senior brother’s duty to protect his junior. Be careful, junior brother…”

“Senior Brother…” Lin Fan howled, then stood tall, glaring at the enemy disciple floating in the sky.

The enemy disciple smirked, as if regarding the two as mere ants.

“Boom…”

At that moment, a deafening explosion came from a distance.

“Bad! We underestimated the Saint Devil Ancestor. He’s going all out now!” In the sky, the Saint Devil Ancestor was covered in wounds, blood flowing continuously, yet his aura grew stronger.

The leaders of the Nine Sects were all bloodied, especially the Sea Hag, whose arm had been severed.

“You destroyed my sect. Now you will all die with me!” The Saint Devil Ancestor roared with bloodshot eyes, his entire being consumed by madness.

At that moment, the faces of the Nine Sect Leaders changed. The Saint Devil Ancestor’s aura surged like a tidal wave, engulfing the heavens and earth.

“Saint Devil Ancestor, you’ve already lost. Surrender,” a streak of light suddenly flashed across the sky, appearing directly behind the Saint Devil Ancestor. A palm strike, filled with supreme might, slammed into the Saint Devil Ancestor’s back.

“It’s him…” Lin Fan, watching from below, paled instantly. The one who had ambushed the Saint Devil Ancestor was actually a junior female disciple from their own sect.

“Protect the Sect Leader!”

The disciples locked in deadly combat rushed to surround and protect their leader upon seeing him attacked.

The Saint Devil Ancestor’s face turned ashen, his immense aura vanishing in an instant. With great difficulty, he opened his mouth and looked at the figure floating in the sky.

“Heavenly Empress… I never expected you to infiltrate our Saint Devil Sect.”

“Saint Devil Ancestor, hand over the Divine Blood, and I will allow your sect to survive,” Heavenly Empress’ body trembled slightly. Her Saint Devil Sect attire suddenly transformed into a white robe with golden trim, instantly making her look noble and seductive, her crystal-clear eyes gleaming with a domineering gaze.

“Defeated…” The Saint Devil Ancestor seemed to age decades in an instant. His once jet-black hair turned white, his smooth skin becoming wrinkled and coarse like old tree bark.

“Senior Brother…” Lin Fan looked at the severely wounded Meng Yangquan, his heart filled with sorrow. The Saint Devil Sect was truly finished.

“Divine Blood… Even in death, I will never hand it over to you.” The Saint Devil Ancestor closed his eyes. Even in defeat, he would not let his enemies have their way.

A thousand years of legacy had finally come to an end.

“I have failed you, my sect.”

“If you refuse, then die…” Heavenly Empress said coldly.

” Sect Leader, I go first. Junior Brother, protect the Sect Leader.” At that moment, Meng Yangquan looked at the ruined sect and roared, charging straight at Heavenly Empress.

“Die!” Meng Yangquan unleashed his final burst of power, shining brightly like a meteor—brilliant yet fleeting.

“Senior Brother…” Lin Fan screamed.

“Fight them!” The few surviving disciples followed Meng Yangquan’s lead, charging into the sky to defend their sect with their last strength.

Heavenly Empress coldly watched the scene unfold. Raising her hand, a fiery phoenix soared forth from behind her, leaving trails of screams in its wake.

“Heavenly Empress, please spare Senior Brother Meng!” Suddenly, a woman came rushing from the mountain gate.

“Mu Chenyu?”

Lin Fan was stunned. He never expected the person arriving to be Mu Chenyu, the junior sister whom Senior Brother Meng had always loved.

“Junior Sister…” Meng Yangquan trembled upon hearing her voice, staring in disbelief at the figure approaching from afar. But at that moment, the fiery phoenix tore through Meng Yangquan’s body.

“Ahh…” Meng Yangquan screamed in agony as eternal flames ignited his body, devouring him relentlessly.

“No…” Mu Chenyu cried out in despair.

“Heavenly Empress, please spare him. I beg you.” Mu Chenyu knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.

But Heavenly Empress in the sky remained cold and unmoved, as if nothing could shake her resolve.

“Junior Sister, why… why did you come back?” Meng Yangquan, now engulfed in flames, struggled to stand.

“Senior Brother, I’m sorry…” Mu Chenyu looked at the burning figure, sobbing uncontrollably. Ignoring the searing flames, she tightly embraced Meng Yangquan.

“Heavenly Empress, please spare him.”

“Why… why…” Meng Yangquan’s breath grew weaker. He gradually understood the truth behind everything.

Lin Fan watched helplessly as Meng Yangquan and Mu Chenyu were reduced to ashes. Heavenly Empress remained unmoved, as if the entire scene was nothing more than ants dying pointlessly.

At that moment, Lin Fan’s heart seemed to stop. His sect was gone, Senior Brother Yin was dead, and Senior Brother Ni was also gone.

Lin Fan felt lost, staring at the once prosperous sect now turned into a living hell.

“Sect Leader…” Lin Fan murmured.

The Saint Devil Ancestor looked at his last remaining disciple, as if struck by an unbearable blow, laughing bitterly toward the heavens.

Lin Fan, too, seemed to lose his mind, muttering to himself.

“Why?”

“Why did everything good in this world vanish?”

“Why are my two most important seniors gone?”

Lin Fan roared toward the heavens, “Nine Sects, King Yan, Heavenly Empress, you destroyed my most precious friends…”

The onlookers watched the last disciple of the Saint Devil Sect losing his mind, laughing mockingly. It seemed he had gone mad.

“How did you come back to life?” Heavenly Empress, who had remained silent, suddenly asked Lin Fan.

At that moment, Lin Fan lowered his head, his body trembling, emitting a chilling laugh.

“You destroyed my best seniors. Even if I die, I will make you all pay dearly.”

At that moment, the leaders of the Nine Sects’ faces changed abruptly. The disciple before them, seemingly at the end of his strength, was growing stronger.

And King Yan, who had been watching coldly, saw the Saint Devil disciple radiating golden light, emitting a dragon’s roar from within, and his expression turned even grimmer.

“This is my martial technique, ‘Dragon Emperor’s Domination’!”

As a golden dragon’s shadow appeared behind Lin Fan, King Yan’s expression darkened further.

“Could it be that the person from that day was him?”

“Sect Leader, disciple Lin Fan will fight to the last drop of blood and will never disgrace our sect.” Lin Fan roared, his golden light bursting forth, piercing through the void. Lin Fan, glowing with golden radiance, descended like a celestial god.

“Dragon Emperor’s Domination!”

The Saint Devil Ancestor raised his now lifeless eyes to gaze at the last disciple of the Saint Devil Sect.

Instantly, Lin Fan’s cultivation soared. “Dragon Emperor’s Domination” at level two increased his power by twenty percent, but it was still not enough.

Lin Fan had already decided to give his life, never expecting to survive.

But no matter what, he would avenge his fallen seniors.

“What’s going on with this disciple? How could he become so powerful?” The Nine Sect Leaders’ expressions changed, astonished.

Especially the disciples of the Nine Sects, who were even more shocked. How could this person, previously like an ant, now exude such an overwhelming pressure?

Lin Fan’s eyes glowed with blood-red fury as he glared at the Nine Sects before him.

“Today, I will kill every one of you bastards with my very life.”
