Wu Tianhai, Qian Xue, and others were filled with curiosity, unsure of who this person could be. From the expression on Young Master Ye’s face, it seemed this individual was of great importance.
“Everyone, listen carefully. Don’t be too shocked to speak later,” Ye Tao said, trying to build up some dramatic tension, clearing his throat a few times.
“Just get on with it. Stop being so mysterious.”
“If you don’t hurry up and tell us, don’t blame your senior sister for getting rough,” Qian Xue said sternly, as though Ye Tao would meet a tragic fate if he delayed any further.
“Fine, fine. Why so harsh?” Ye Tao sighed helplessly, his strength simply too weak to resist.
“This person… at first I didn’t recognize him either. But the more I looked, the more familiar he seemed. After thinking about it carefully, isn’t he the Human Emperor Lin Fan?”
“Human Emperor Lin Fan?” Everyone was momentarily confused, trying to recall the name.
“Oh come on! Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten already—the human who three years ago slayed the Supreme Divine Soul Incarnation of the Ancient Race?” Ye Tao exclaimed, frustrated. Did his seniors really not get it even after he explained so clearly?
“Ahh!”
Now that Ye Tao had made it so clear, if they still didn’t understand, they truly must have been idiots.
Qian Xue’s expression changed drastically, filled with disbelief. “What? He’s the Human Emperor Lin Fan—the peerless powerhouse?”
Wu Tianhai turned pale, looking at Ye Tao with regret. “I just rejected his kindness earlier.”
“Mm.” Ye Tao, seeing his senior brother’s pale face, couldn’t help but smile inwardly, though he nodded seriously. “Senior Brother, when I heard you turned down the Emperor’s kindness earlier, I nearly wet myself.”
“Don’t worry though, I covered for you. Everything’s fine now,” Ye Tao said calmly.
Although my strength is inferior to yours, my knowledge is clearly superior.
Seeing her senior brother’s expression, Qian Xue tried to comfort him. “Senior Brother, the Human Emperor probably doesn’t care about such things. Right, Ye Tao?”
“Exactly, the Human Emperor wouldn’t care about such trivial matters,” Ye Tao nodded in agreement.
“So, what should we do when the Human Emperor comes out?” Wu Tianhai felt slightly calmer but still nervous.
The Human Emperor was a renowned figure in the Gu Sheng Realm. That battle three years ago might not have been intense, but everyone witnessed the death of the Ancient Race’s Supreme Being “Jie” at the hands of the Human Emperor.
This event had been incredibly inspiring for all the races of the Great Thousand World.
At this moment, everyone turned their eyes toward Ye Tao, as though he had become their pillar of support.
Faced with everyone’s expectant gazes, Ye Tao couldn’t help but hold his head high.
“Based on my observation, the Human Emperor was so calm and composed when speaking with us. He must be someone who doesn’t care about titles or wants to be recognized. So when the Human Emperor comes out, we should act just like before—absolutely no sign of excitement or shock.”
“Ah, the Human Emperor is the new idol for all races in the Gu Sheng Realm. What luck we have to meet him today. Even being able to say we’ve seen him will be a great honor.”
Ye Tao was excited, realizing for the first time how clever he was.
The others silently nodded, feeling Ye Tao’s words made perfect sense. They would follow his advice.
Inside the secret realm…
Lin Fan advanced forward, completely dominating everything in his path.
This secret realm contained primordial Metal Qi, which the Ancient Race couldn’t control at all. The chaotic spatial currents formed a natural barrier, mercilessly tearing apart anyone who entered and couldn’t withstand the pressure.
“Living being, this place is not for you. Leave immediately!” Suddenly, within a sea of Metal Qi, numerous Metal Spirits roared furiously. Each one radiated golden light, their sharp, cutting aura seemingly slicing through the void itself.
Among these Metal Spirits, there was a hierarchy, just like among the beings of the Great Thousand World.
Behind a group of Metal Spirits stood a particularly powerful one, wearing golden armor and wielding a long sword, its aura sharp enough to sever anything.
“Powerful beings indeed. Among the Primordial Five Elements, perhaps those born from Primordial Metal are the strongest, excelling in battle,” Lin Fan remarked as he approached the Metal Sea, feeling countless sharp blades rushing toward him.
A cultivator of low ability would surely be pierced like a sieve.
However, for Lin Fan, these blades were completely negligible, causing no harm whatsoever.
Lin Fan took a step forward, extended his hand, and with a thunderous boom, the void collapsed as he grabbed the group of Metal Spirits.
The Metal Spirits roared in fury, but in Lin Fan’s palm, they couldn’t resist at all, transforming entirely into pure Primordial Metal.
With Lin Fan’s current strength, these spirits were like ants—completely helpless.
In the Gu Sheng Realm, few cultivators required the Primordial Five Elements. Even if certain techniques did require them, only a small amount was needed.
But for Lin Fan, the transformation of the “Demon City” was crucial, requiring vast quantities of the Primordial Elements. Leaving any behind would clearly be insufficient.
Just as Lin Fan eliminated this group of Metal Spirits, a sharp sound suddenly pierced through the air.
The sound transformed into an indestructible sword, rushing toward Lin Fan.
“Damnable being! You dare slaughter my people!”
Deep within the Metal Sea, a towering palace stood, and within it, a golden giant thousands of feet tall roared in fury.
Divine Heaven Fifth Order—Soul Manifestation Realm.
For a being born from the Primordial Elements, this was already extremely powerful.
“I’ll borrow your power for a while,” Lin Fan said without hesitation, his palm striking outward, shaking heaven and earth.
The “Demon City” rotated into view, ancient demons of bygone eras descending. With a wide open mouth, it unleashed boundless might, sweeping across heaven and earth.
Swallowing mountains and rivers, infinite power surged forth.
The entire secret realm trembled violently.
“Join me,” the ancient demon said with gleaming eyes, continuously devouring everything.
For Lin Fan’s current cultivation level, killing these Primordial Spirits was as simple as crushing an ant—completely effortless.
“The Metal Element is endless, the Dao of Slaughter.”
“Slash!”
The golden giant could endure no longer, charging forward with his sword. His massive body filled the secret realm, his sword flashing with indestructible might.
Yet, when he reached the ancient demon, he was caught by the hand and thrown into its mouth.
Crunch!
The sound of metal shattering echoed. Inside the ancient demon’s mouth, the golden giant transformed into a vast river of golden essence, eventually merging into the “Demon City.”
“This place has no need to exist anymore,” Lin Fan said, spreading his fingers. They grew larger and larger while the secret realm gradually shrank until it became a tiny point of light in his grasp.
Unrivaled power, crushing everything.
Outside, no one knew what had happened inside, but they suddenly noticed the secret realm had vanished before their eyes.
Then they saw a figure slowly walk out.
One by one, their faces turned pale with horror.
The incredibly powerful secret realm of Primordial Metal was simply gone.
This… this…
