Everyone from the Heaven and Earth Sect was now stunned.
This formidable figure had already shocked the entire sect by suppressing Dao Wentian. Now, he was directly challenging the Divine Prodigies, openly questioning whether they dared to defy him.
Such overwhelming dominance was something they had never witnessed before.
Even Dao Wentian himself had never dared to be this audacious.
The nine Divine Prodigies standing there turned pale with fury upon hearing these words.
Yet, faced with the overwhelming might of Lin Fan, none of them dared to speak.
“Will you submit or not? Has the Heaven and Earth Sect’s Divine Prodigies truly lost the courage to even speak?” Lin Fan declared sharply.
Ling Wuzun wanted to curse furiously but held himself back—he didn’t dare.
The other Divine Prodigies burned with rage inside, wanting to say something, but their throats felt as if choked, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing this scene, Elder Huo was furious beyond endurance.
Especially when Dao Wentian had been knocked unconscious like a dead dog lying there.
Some disciples around hesitated, wanting to step forward but too afraid to do so.
The elders sitting beside the Sect Leader wore expressions of astonishment.
“Unbelievable! The Heaven and Earth Sect actually has a disciple like this,” one elder exclaimed.
“Should we stop this? If it continues, something catastrophic might happen,” another elder worried.
“Why stop him? If he’s strong enough to cause trouble, why shouldn’t he? We elders weren’t exactly humble back in our days either,” snapped an elder with a fiery temper.
“The Sect Leader isn’t here this time—he’ll regret it later. Truly, the Heaven and Earth Sect is blessed by heaven. To produce such a disciple! Once he grows stronger, he’ll become a pillar of our sect.”
“Shen Yuan Sect once had the Saint Sovereign Qin, who suppressed us. Now we have such a disciple of our own, how could we not rise again?”
“Let’s keep watching. As long as no one dies, these Divine Prodigies have grown too arrogant, forgetting that there are always greater heavens and superior people. Let this young fellow stir things up a bit.”
…
“Enough! Your disciple is too reckless! This is the Grand Sect Competition, not a place for you to run wild!” Elder Huo roared furiously.
He had been furious all along because this guy had cleared Qing Yangzi’s name. Now he was provoking the other nine Divine Prodigies.
One of those Divine Prodigies was closely related to him—how could he allow such audacity?
Now that Elder Huo had spoken, many disciples around thought the matter would end here.
But what shocked them was that this domineering senior brother was about to go even further.
Lin Fan’s expression darkened as he stared directly at Elder Huo. “Hmph, if you have any objections, come forward.”
“Reckless!”
Elder Huo roared furiously. He never expected a disciple to dare challenge him directly.
“Words are useless. Don’t waste time with empty threats. If you dare, come fight me. Otherwise, shut up,” Lin Fan said.
Li Qing, watching the scene unfold, swallowed hard.
“Qing Yangzi, Elder, is this really okay?” Li Qing was astonished. He had always regarded Senior Lin as a humble person, yet now, he was acting in an outrageously domineering manner—’Not convinced? Then fight!’ There was simply no one quite like him.
Su Hongchen, Hu Cheng, Ru Wanshu, and others exchanged glances, trembling with fear. It was terrifying—just too terrifying.
This wasn’t the Lin Fan they knew.
No, perhaps now he should be addressed as Senior Lin.
The Number One Divine Prodigy.
Qing Yangzi had initially been thrilled, but now he was stunned into silence.
He had known Lin Fan was strong and a promising disciple, but he never imagined he would be this powerful—perhaps even monstrous.
At this moment, Elder Huo was utterly enraged. How could a mere disciple dare to act this way toward him? How could he command respect in the future?
Elder Huo’s body moved, a streak of red light flashing as he instantly appeared on the arena platform.
His flaming red hair billowed, exuding a violent aura. Everyone nearby knew Elder Huo was now truly furious.
Facing Elder Huo’s glare, Lin Fan remained calm. “What? Want to kill me?”
“Challenging an elder on the arena platform is a grave offense. Today, even if I reduce you to ashes, no one will blame me,” Elder Huo declared with killing intent.
This young man’s strength had exceeded Elder Huo’s expectations.
He had suppressed Dao Wentian, and if left unchecked, could become a serious threat. If possible, Elder Huo wished to crush him into dust.
“Hmph, challenging an elder? Then why did Dao Wentian dare challenge Elder Qing Yangzi?” Lin Fan scoffed.
“Dao Wentian is a Divine Prodigy, his strength surpassing True Immortal Realm!” Elder Huo roared.
“But now Dao Wentian has fallen to me, and today I am the sect’s Divine Prodigy. I challenge you—I will suppress you right here on this arena platform,” Lin Fan declared with overbearing confidence.
Elder Huo was far more powerful than Qing Yangzi. His true form was a manifestation of the Celestial Flame Spirit, possessing an innate flame ability that made him incredibly formidable, known as the Ever-Burning Divine Flame.
He excelled in refining pills and forging artifacts, all thanks to this divine flame.
The impending clash between Elder Huo and Lin Fan left every disciple breathless, anticipating what might be the greatest battle of all.
“Do you think defeating Dao Wentian gives you the right to run wild? Today I’ll show you that within the Heaven and Earth Sect, there are still many who you should fear.”
Whoosh!
A streak of red light shot into the sky.
Elder Huo’s hands trembled, his previously aged hands suddenly turning bright red, the intense heat warping the very air.
This was Elder Huo’s signature technique.
“The Burning Palm.”
Anyone struck by it would be consumed by scorching flames. Even protective magic would be useless, as the flames could reduce even magical energy to ash.
Mid-True Immortal Realm.
Late Primordial God Realm.
The gap between them was immense.
Even a genius couldn’t claim to cross such a boundary and suppress an opponent.
“Roar!”
At that moment, Elder Huo roared, an immense aura bursting forth as he activated True Immortal Laws, continuously unleashing his power.
“You subdued Dao Wentian with one strike. Today, I’ll show you how I crush you with one palm,” Elder Huo said coldly, then moved.
Like a human-shaped blazing sun, he illuminated the entire battlefield.
Lin Fan now focused, throwing a palm strike toward Elder Huo. Though swift, to Elder Huo, it was nothing.
He dodged effortlessly.
“Too slow. With your strength, you can’t even touch the hem of my robe.”
Elder Huo seemed to vanish. If not for the lingering heat around, one might think he had disappeared entirely.
“Is that so?” Lin Fan sneered, standing still without moving, as if stunned by Elder Huo’s might.
At that moment, a faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s lips.
“I found you.”
In an instant, without even looking, Lin Fan threw a punch into the void.
