“Thank you, Old Ancestor Qitian! I’ve heard that your Supreme Crushing Hand Seal can shatter everything in the world. It was indeed worthwhile for this sect to take such a risk. The bottleneck of the supreme immortal art of rebirth through fire can only be shattered by your Supreme Crushing Hand Seal. Now, immortal essence has poured into my body, the barrier has been broken through—when else should I reach the Immortal King stage?”
Han Juntian laughed loudly, his face filled with excitement. Then he roared, “Immortal King stage!”
Boom!
“Thank you, Patriarch Qitian. It is said that your Shattering Supreme Palm can crush all things in the world. This risky venture of mine has indeed been worth it. The bottleneck of the Nirvana Supreme Divine Power could only be broken by the Shattering Supreme Palm. Now, with the immortal essence pouring into my body and the barrier shattered, how long must I wait to reach the Immortal King realm?”
Han Juntian laughed heartily, a glimmer of excitement flashing across his face. Then, with a thunderous roar, he shouted, “Immortal King realm!”
Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled as a surge of immortal energy erupted from Han Juntian’s body. The shattered Immortal Gate, now in ruins, rumbled open, and a profound immortal energy poured in. Han Juntian’s countless divine powers were all baptized, each one coming to life as if they had gained a soul.
One after another, the spirits of these divine powers roared in fury, evolving into countless divine techniques, absorbing the flowing immortal energy, and finally, with a mighty roar, they all ascended.
This was the most crucial manifestation of the Immortal King realm—the transformation of countless divine powers into immortal techniques. This was a qualitative change, and thus, once one reached the Immortal King realm, no being below that level could ever hope to defeat an Immortal King. The difference was akin to that between mortals and immortals.
“Damn it…” Patriarch Qitian’s heart burned with rage. He never expected that he had been used.
Han Juntian had never intended to rely on his pressure. Instead, he wanted to endure the Shattering Supreme Palm. Once this divine power advanced into an immortal technique, it gained an unfathomable, ghostly power, capable of shattering all things in heaven and earth. It was indeed one of the most offensive immortal techniques.
Lin Fan watched the sect master, never imagining that he would truly ascend. It was terrifying, truly unimaginable. But then again, one should never underestimate the world. Han Juntian, who had become the grand sect master, was no ordinary figure.
The entire Heaven and Earth Sect was in an uproar. The sect master had truly succeeded. Another Immortal King had been added to the Heaven and Earth Sect. With the Heavenly Monarchs absent, the Immortal Kings were now the strongest, capable of controlling the heavens and the earth, and commanding all.
The Kunlun Divine Sect and the Heaven and Earth Sect had rarely engaged in such a fierce battle as today. But now, because of a single disciple, a war had erupted, allowing Han Juntian to ascend to the Immortal King realm. This battle was not a loss at all; in fact, it was a great gain.
“Haha, Old Bastard Qitian, did you see that? Your Kunlun Divine Sect is no longer what it used to be. You helped our sect master ascend to the Immortal King realm. Your contribution is invaluable. Though you’re old, you still have some use,” Lin Fan laughed. Patriarch Qitian, though old, had always maintained a youthful appearance. Now, being called an old bastard by Lin Fan was something he could not tolerate.
Though Han Juntian had now ascended to the Immortal King realm, he was still weak internally. The injuries he had just sustained were severe, and he needed immediate recuperation. Otherwise, if Patriarch Qitian were to suppress him, there would be no turning back. Of course, such a thing would not happen, as the Heaven and Earth Sect’s Supreme Elders would never sit idly by.
The hidden experts in the void were also filled with unknown thoughts.
Envy, yes, envy.
They never expected that Han Juntian would truly ascend to the Immortal King realm under such circumstances, and all of it was due to Patriarch Qitian.
If it weren’t for Patriarch Qitian’s unique immortal technique, Han Juntian would have had to put in a lot more effort to break through the Immortal King barrier. Now, it had all come naturally, just like that.
Lin Fan was now thinking about some things. All the glory had been taken by Han Juntian, and all the benefits had been reaped by him. He himself had gained nothing so far. This was too much of a loss, and he absolutely could not let it end like this.
Lin Fan directly blocked Han Juntian’s path, “Sect Master, you go back. Leave the rest to me.”
He wanted to explode, he wanted to act. How could he gain nothing? And judging from the current situation, it was very likely that things would come to an end. If that were the case, then it would truly be a huge loss.
“Don’t mess around. I’m severely injured,” Han Juntian said in a low voice.
“Sect Master, I know you’re severely injured, but you have to see it from my perspective. You’ve gained the benefits, becoming an Immortal King. I haven’t gained anything yet. No matter what, you have to let me gain something,” Lin Fan said helplessly. This wasn’t how the script was supposed to unfold. If they went back now, he would definitely feel wronged.
Han Juntian was stunned. He felt that this disciple was truly fearless, still thinking about benefits. He had almost lost his life trying to ascend to the Immortal King realm, and yet this disciple seemed to treat the Kunlun Divine Sect as a benefit ATM, wanting to take turns? Wasn’t this going too far?
Before Han Juntian could say more, Lin Fan took a step forward, staring directly at the furious Patriarch Qitian, and said, “Patriarch Qitian, my sect master has gained benefits from you, but I, Lin Fan, have not. So, the one who will face you next is me, Lin Fan. Don’t say I’m bullying you. I’ll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to rest. You can boldly seek reinforcements. I, Lin Fan, won’t say a word.”
Boom!
At this moment, everyone around was stunned.
Was this kid out of his mind? How dare he speak to Patriarch Qitian like this? What was he trying to do?
“Outrageous! Han Juntian, don’t think that just because you’ve ascended to the Immortal King realm, you can act so recklessly. Do you really think our Kunlun Divine Sect is easy to bully?” Tai Qian Tian roared, his eyes bloodshot.
He was not convinced. He and Han Juntian were of the same level, but now Han Juntian had ascended to the Immortal King realm, leaving him far behind.
They were figures of the same era, always competing with each other. But now, Han Juntian had taken a step ahead, reaching the Immortal King realm. This made his strong heart begin to waver. Was he truly not good enough?
Han Juntian felt helpless. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Fan directly stopped him, “Sect Master, I beg you, let me gain some benefits. You go back and rest. You’re really not needed here.”
After ascending to the Immortal King realm, Han Juntian was in a good mood. But now, seeing Lin Fan’s expression, he didn’t know what to say.
He couldn’t understand what this disciple was trying to do. Why was he so fond of courting death?
Was Patriarch Qitian someone easy to deal with? If he were truly provoked, Patriarch Qitian would definitely strike with lethal force.
Lin Fan didn’t bother arguing with Han Juntian anymore. He directly roared domineeringly, “Tai Qian Tian, shut the hell up! Look at your sorry state. After all this time, you’re still not an Immortal King. Aren’t you ashamed? Step down and let someone more capable take your place. Go into seclusion and don’t come out to embarrass yourself. And you, Old Bastard Qitian, I, Lin Fan, am going to deal with you later. Do you have any objections?”
“Seeking death…” Patriarch Qitian was furious.
He never expected things to escalate to this point. With countless people watching, the Kunlun Divine Sect’s face was likely to be completely lost today, and it would become a laughingstock among the sects.
Patriarch Qitian glared at Lin Fan, finally calming down, his voice dark and cold, “Fine. Today, I, Patriarch Qitian, will kill you and wash away the shame our Kunlun Divine Sect has suffered.”
Then, Patriarch Qitian turned his gaze to the void.
“Supreme Elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect, I know you are watching. But today, I, Patriarch Qitian, declare this: if you save this kid, our Kunlun Divine Sect will fight your Heaven and Earth Sect to the death, even if it means our sect’s destruction…”
At this moment, Patriarch Qitian was enraged. He was determined to kill Lin Fan.
Lin Fan chuckled, then also raised his head, “Supreme Elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect, today, I, Lin Fan, declare this: if I kill this old bastard later, you must not interfere. Otherwise, I will leave the sect.”
Everyone: “…”
The Supreme Elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect: “…”
…
One immortal art spirit after another roared furiously, manifesting countless techniques, absorbing the flowing immortal energy, and finally letting out a mighty roar—ascending all at once.
This was the most crucial sign of reaching the Immortal King stage: transforming countless immortal arts into true immortal techniques. It was a qualitative change. Therefore, no being below the Immortal King level could ever defeat an Immortal King cultivator, for the difference between them was like that between mortals and immortals.
“Damn it…” Old Ancestor Qitian burned with fury inside. He never expected to be used like this.
From the very beginning, Han Juntian had never intended to rely on his pressure, but rather to endure the impact of his Supreme Crushing Hand Seal. After this technique advanced into an immortal technique, it gained unfathomable power—capable of shattering anything under heaven and earth. It was now an extremely formidable offensive immortal art.
Lin Fan looked at the sect leader in astonishment. He had really ascended! It was terrifying—truly unimaginably terrifying. But then again, one shouldn’t underestimate others. Han Juntian had become the leader of a great sect for a reason; he was no ordinary figure.
The entire Heaven and Earth Sect was in an uproar. Their sect leader had truly succeeded! An Immortal King had been added to their ranks. With the Heaven Emperor absent, the Immortal King was now the strongest in existence—capable of controlling heaven and earth and determining all outcomes.
Rarely had a fierce battle like today’s occurred between the Kunlun Divine Sect and the Heaven and Earth Sect. Yet now, a war sparked by a single disciple had led to Han Juntian’s ascension to the Immortal King stage. This battle was not a loss at all—it had even brought great profit.
“Haha, you old bastard Qitian, did you see that? Your Kunlun Divine Sect is finished! You’ve helped our sect leader ascend to the Immortal King stage—you’ve done well. Although you’re old, you still have some use after all,” Lin Fan laughed mockingly. Though Qitian Old Ancestor had maintained a youthful appearance despite his age, being called an “old bastard” by Lin Fan was unbearable humiliation.
Although Han Juntian had ascended to the Immortal King stage, he was still weak from his injuries and needed immediate recovery. Otherwise, if Qitian Old Ancestor attacked, there would be no way to reverse the situation. Of course, such a scenario was impossible—after all, the Heaven and Earth Sect’s senior elders would never stand idly by.
The experts hidden in the void didn’t know what to think.
Admiration—that was it.
They never expected Han Juntian to truly ascend to the Immortal King stage under such circumstances, and it was all thanks to Qitian Old Ancestor.
Without Qitian’s unique immortal art, Han Juntian would have needed to work hard to break through the Immortal King barrier. Now, everything had fallen into place effortlessly.
Lin Fan was thinking about something now. Han Juntian had taken all the glory and reaped all the benefits, while he himself had gained nothing so far. This was a huge loss—he absolutely couldn’t let it go like this.
Lin Fan stepped directly in front of Han Juntian. “Leader, you go back now. Leave the rest to me.”
He wanted to unleash his strength, to show his worth. How could he gain nothing from all this? Judging from the current situation, there was a high chance of calling it quits. If that happened, he would suffer a massive loss.
“Don’t be reckless. I’m seriously injured now,” Han Juntian said softly.
“Leader, I know you’re injured, but you should also look at the situation now. You’ve gained the benefits and become an Immortal King. I haven’t. No matter what, let me gain something too,” Lin Fan said helplessly. This wasn’t how things were supposed to unfold. If he returned now, he would definitely feel deeply dissatisfied.
Han Juntian was taken aback. He couldn’t believe how fearless his disciple was—actually talking about gaining benefits! He had nearly lost his life to ascend to the Immortal King stage, yet Lin Fan treated the Kunlun Divine Sect like an ATM machine, wanting to take advantage one after another? Was he really going to be this outrageous?
Before Han Juntian could say more, Lin Fan took a step forward, staring directly at the furious Qitian Old Ancestor. He declared, “Qitian Old Ancestor, my sect leader has gained benefits from you. I, Lin Fan, haven’t gained anything yet. Therefore, the one who will fight you next will be me. Don’t say I’m bullying you—I’ll give you a whole incense stick’s time to rest. You can boldly seek help, and I, Lin Fan, won’t utter a single word.”
Boom!
At that moment, everyone around was shocked.
Was this kid insane? How could he dare to say such words to Qitian Old Ancestor? What was he trying to do?
“Reckless! Han Juntian, don’t think you can act however you want just because you’ve ascended to the Immortal King stage. Do you really believe my Kunlun Divine Sect is easy to bully?” Tai Qiantian roared furiously, his eyes blood-red.
He was furious. He and Han Juntian had been at the same cultivation level, but now Han Juntian had ascended to the Immortal King stage, leaving him far behind.
They had been rivals from the same era, always competing. But now, Han Juntian had taken the lead, reaching the Immortal King stage first, shaking Tai Qiantian’s previously unshakable confidence. Could it be that he was truly inferior?
Han Juntian felt helpless inside and was about to speak, but Lin Fan directly stopped him. “Leader, please, let me gain some benefits. You go back and rest well. This place no longer needs you.”
After ascending to the Immortal King stage, Han Juntian was in a great mood, but seeing Lin Fan’s expression now, he didn’t know what to say.
He couldn’t understand what his disciple was trying to do. Why was he so eager to seek death?
Was Qitian Old Ancestor someone easy to deal with? If provoked, Qitian would definitely strike mercilessly.
Lin Fan didn’t bother arguing with Han Juntian any further. He shouted directly, “Shut up, Tai Qiantian! Look at yourself—stuck at this level for so long, still not reaching the Immortal King stage. Aren’t you ashamed? Hurry up and step down, go into retreat, and stop embarrassing yourself. As for you, old bastard Qitian, I, Lin Fan, will deal with you next. Any objections?”
“Seeking death…” Qitian Old Ancestor was furious.
He never expected the situation to develop to this point. With countless people watching, Kunlun Divine Sect’s face was completely lost today—it would become a laughingstock among all sects in the future.
Qitian Old Ancestor glared at Lin Fan with murder in his eyes but finally calmed down, his voice icy cold. “Fine, today I, Qitian Old Ancestor, will kill you and erase the humiliation Kunlun Divine Sect has suffered.”
Then he turned his gaze toward the void.
“Senior Elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect, I know you’re watching. But today, I, Qitian Old Ancestor, make this declaration—if you dare to save this kid, even if it means my sect’s destruction, I will fight the Heaven and Earth Sect to the bitter end…”
At this moment, Qitian was furious. He was determined to kill Lin Fan.
Lin Fan chuckled and raised his head. “Senior Elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect, today I, Lin Fan, make this declaration. If I manage to kill this old bastard, you must not interfere. Otherwise, I will leave the sect.”
Everyone: “…”
Senior Elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect: “…”
