Open your eyes.
In the eyes of Qiu Zhan Yu and Jin Zhen Gu, disbelief flickered.
True Immortal Realm?
They had actually become experts of the True Immortal Realm. Thrilled and ecstatic, they hardly knew what words could describe their feelings.
Their older brother had helped them ascend to the True Immortal Realm—an act so unimaginable that they had initially acknowledged Lin Fan as their big brother merely for self-protection or to have a powerful patron.
But today, this immense kindness moved them beyond words.
“Big Brother, I, Qiu Zhan Yu, swear from this day forth I will follow you. Even if we face armies or terrifying experts, I, Qiu Zhan Yu, will never retreat,” Qiu Zhan Yu declared, his obese body trembling violently from excitement.
“Same with me,” Jin Zhen Gu quickly added, not wanting to be left behind.
The two of them had ventured out from their village, never before encountering anyone so kind to them.
Even willing to give them immortal pills.
“You talk a good game. When the time comes, you two might run faster than anyone else,” Lin Fan said, rolling his eyes, though he inwardly believed them. After all, his ability to judge people had never been wrong.
“Big Brother, since we’re experts now, where are we heading next?” Qiu Zhan Yu pulled out a loofah and started munching on it noisily.
“Let me think. Honestly, I hadn’t planned where to go after leaving the sect. Maybe we can explore the city for a while; perhaps something useful will come up,” Lin Fan replied.
After leaving the sect, Lin Fan had wanted to enhance his strength as soon as possible. However, he soon realized that improving one’s power often depended on luck.
True experts were rare.
Even when there were experts, they usually traveled in groups and had powerful backers. With their current abilities, they simply couldn’t afford to provoke such forces.
Take the Divine Rhythm Heaven Trading Company, for example—its backing must be formidable. If he offended them and faced pursuit, there would certainly be powerful experts after him. At that time, he might encounter experts of unknown strength.
And if those experts were too formidable, then he would be finished.
Inside the city.
Looking around, the three found the Heavenly Emperor City bustling with activity, nothing particularly special.
But Lin Fan’s eyes were darting about.
Among the passersby, some possessed formidable cultivation—many at the True Immortal and Profound Immortal Realms, and even a few at the Golden Immortal Realm.
However, those Golden Immortal experts were accompanied by many people, clearly belonging to powerful factions.
After observing for a while, Lin Fan noticed Qiu Zhan Yu’s gaze fixed on a corner of a wall ahead.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Fan asked.
“Big Brother, look. That father and son seem pitiful,” Qiu Zhan Yu said, as if recalling something from his past. “When I was little, my father used to take care of me like that.”
Lin Fan said nothing. He flicked his finger, instantly crafting a pill with spiritual energy. “Give it to them. Healing their bodies will suffice. Giving them money would only hasten their deaths.”
Nodding, Qiu Zhan Yu stepped forward, administered the pill, and after their recovery, the father and son expressed profound gratitude.
It seemed Qiu Zhan Yu had his own story too.
Boom!
Just then, the earth trembled, and the sky turned dark.
“What’s happening?” Jin Zhen Gu exclaimed in alarm, unsure of the cause.
Lin Fan focused his gaze. In the distant horizon, violent spiritual energy roared, warping the very space itself. A colossal heavenly lightning bolt descended from the sky.
Open your eyes.
In the eyes of Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom, there was a flicker of disbelief.
True Immortal Realm?
They had actually become True Immortal Realm experts. Excitement and exhilaration overwhelmed them, leaving them at a loss for words to describe their feelings.
Their big brother had helped them ascend to the True Immortal Realm, something they had never dared to imagine. They had only recognized Lin Fan as their big brother for self-preservation or to latch onto a powerful ally.
But today, this act of kindness moved them so deeply that they were at a loss for words.
“Big brother, I, Autumn Slash Fish, swear that from this day forward, I will follow you. Even if faced with an army or terrifyingly powerful foes, I, Autumn Slash Fish, will never retreat,” Autumn Slash Fish declared, his plump body trembling violently from sheer excitement.
“I, Golden Needle Mushroom, am the same,” Golden Needle Mushroom quickly added, not wanting to be left behind.
The two brothers had ventured out from their village and had never encountered anyone who treated them so well.
Even immortal pills were generously given to them.
“Words are easy to say. When the time comes, you two might be the first to run,” Lin Fan retorted with a roll of his eyes, though deep down, he believed them. After all, his judgment of character was never wrong.
“Big brother, we’re now experts too. Where should we go next?” Autumn Slash Fish asked, pulling out a water melon and munching on it noisily.
“Let me think about it. After leaving the sect, I hadn’t really thought about where to go. But now, perhaps we should head into the city and see if we can find something useful,” Lin Fan suggested.
After leaving the sect, Lin Fan had been eager to quickly enhance his strength. However, upon leaving, he realized that improving one’s strength also depended on luck.
True experts were rare.
And even if there were experts, they often moved in groups with powerful backers. With their current strength, they couldn’t afford to provoke them.
Take the Divine Charm Sky Commerce, for example. Its backers were undoubtedly formidable. If Lin Fan were to provoke them and face pursuit, there would surely be powerful experts involved. At that time, it was hard to predict what kind of experts they might encounter.
If they ran into someone too powerful, it would be disastrous.
In the city.
The three of them looked around. The Imperial Sky City was bustling with activity, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
However, Lin Fan’s eyes darted around keenly.
Among the passersby, some indeed had impressive cultivation levels—True Immortal Realm, Profound Immortal Realm, and even Golden Immortal Realm experts were present.
But those Golden Immortal Realm experts were accompanied by many others, clearly indicating they were part of a major faction.
After observing for a while, Lin Fan noticed Autumn Slash Fish’s gaze fixed on a corner ahead.
“What’s up?” Lin Fan asked.
“Big brother, look, that father and son seem so pitiful,” Autumn Slash Fish said, seemingly recalling something from his past. “When I was a child, my father used to take me like that.”
Lin Fan didn’t say much. With a flick of his finger, he used his spiritual energy to refine a pill. “Give this to him. It will restore his health. Giving them money would only hasten their demise.”
Autumn Slash Fish nodded, then approached and had the man take the pill. After recovering his health, the man was overwhelmed with gratitude toward Autumn Slash Fish.
It seemed Autumn Slash Fish had his own story too.
Boom!
At that moment, the ground shook violently, and the sky turned dark.
“What’s happening?” Golden Needle Mushroom exclaimed, bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
Lin Fan focused his gaze and saw that in the distant direction, spiritual energy was raging, and the void itself was distorting. A thunderous divine lightning bolt descended from the heavens.
Though it was far away, the sheer force of its power shattered everything in its path, resonating through the air.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
At that moment, countless experts from the Imperial Sky City soared into the sky.
“It’s the Three-Headed Divine Serpent transforming into a dragon.”
Someone exclaimed in shock.
“The rumors are true! There really is a Three-Headed Divine Serpent there. Now that it’s transforming into a dragon, countless experts will surely fight over it.”
…
Lin Fan’s interest was immediately piqued.
Wow, just the name “Three-Headed Divine Serpent” sounds incredibly domineering.
“Big brother, should we go?” Autumn Slash Fish asked.
“Go, of course we should go. How could we not?” Lin Fan didn’t hesitate for a moment. He grabbed the two of them and vanished into the void, heading straight toward the source of the powerful aura.
Ahead, countless formidable auras emanated. Lin Fan felt a bit uneasy. If there really was something valuable, snatching it from these experts would be incredibly difficult.
But regardless, they should at least check it out. Who knows, they might get lucky and find something worthwhile.
…
When Lin Fan paused in the void, he noticed that all around, countless experts were hidden within the endless void. Below them, a Three-Headed Divine Serpent thrashed about in a vast ocean.
The Three-Headed Divine Serpent was thousands of feet long, with two horns on its head. Its sharp scales gleamed with a menacing edge as it continued to transform.
“This thing is really terrifying,” Autumn Slash Fish exclaimed in awe.
“Yeah,” Golden Needle Mushroom nodded, feeling the same fear.
This Three-Headed Divine Serpent was at the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm. If it successfully underwent its tribulation and transformed into a Three-Headed Divine Dragon, it would become a Golden Immortal expert.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar shook the heavens and earth, its aura so violent that some of the weaker individuals were forced to retreat, unable to withstand the sound.
Lin Fan observed his surroundings.
True Immortal Realm, Profound Immortal Realm.
Huh!
Golden Immortal Realm.
Among the hidden experts, there were actually a few Golden Immortal Realm cultivators.
What also surprised Lin Fan was that among those preparing to slay the dragon were disciples from the Heaven and Earth Sect.
These disciples were all elders of the sect.
In the Heaven and Earth Sect, once one reached the True Immortal Realm, they could become an elder.
The authority of an elder extended to all disciples except for the Divine Son.
This time, the Heaven and Earth Sect had sent thirteen people, all at the Profound Immortal Realm, with one being a Golden Immortal Realm expert.
Although the Three-Headed Divine Serpent was a treasure trove, it wasn’t enough to draw out the sect’s super experts.
The Three-Headed Divine Serpent knew many were hidden around, but at this moment, it couldn’t afford to care.
The tribulation had come too suddenly. If it could survive, it would become a true divine dragon, a Golden Immortal Realm dragon soaring through the heavens and earth.
At that point, even ordinary Golden Immortal Realm experts would be no match for it.
Boom!
Another thunderbolt descended from the sky, this one even more massive and terrifying. Even a Profound Immortal Realm expert would be severely injured, if not killed, by such a strike.
At this moment, the Three-Headed Divine Serpent suddenly opened its mouth, and a green inner core was expelled from its body, enduring the tribulation.
Crack!
A series of cracking sounds emanated from the Three-Headed Divine Serpent.
It was shedding its skin, and its scales were falling off, only to be replaced by golden scales in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, those hidden in the void were utterly shocked.
“This is a Three-Headed Golden Dragon. It’s mutating, becoming even more powerful and valuable than a Three-Headed Divine Dragon.”
…
Roar!
At this moment, the Three-Headed Golden Dragon let out a deafening roar. As it endured the final thunderbolt, golden blood dripped from its body.
“Attack! It’s become a dragon, and it’s in its weakened state!”
Someone shouted.
In an instant, overwhelming magical powers erupted, all directed at the Three-Headed Golden Dragon.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react.
Even Lin Fan was left dumbfounded.
The Three-Headed Golden Dragon’s body exploded, shattered into pieces…
It had died just like that…
It died way too quickly.
Lin Fan had been thinking of waiting, perhaps getting lucky and making a profit.
But now, it was all over.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
At this moment, countless experts soared into the sky from the Heavenly Emperor City.
“This is the Three-Headed Divine Crocodile transforming into a dragon,” someone suddenly shouted.
“The rumors were true. There really is a Three-Headed Divine Crocodile there. Now that it’s transforming into a dragon, countless experts will surely rush to fight for it.”
…
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately became interested.
Wow, the name “Three-Headed Divine Crocodile” alone sounded incredibly imposing.
“Big Brother, shall we go?” Qiu Zhan Yu asked.
“Of course we’re going. How could we not?” Without hesitation, Lin Fan grabbed the two of them, soared into the void, and rushed toward the source of the energy.
Ahead, countless powerful presences emerged, and Lin Fan felt conflicted. If it was truly something valuable, trying to seize it from their hands would be extremely difficult.
Nonetheless, they should at least observe the situation. Perhaps with luck, they might gain something.
…
When Lin Fan halted in mid-air, he discovered that countless experts from all directions were hidden within the endless void. Below, the Three-Headed Divine Crocodile thrashed about in a vast ocean.
This Three-Headed Divine Crocodile was ten thousand feet long, with two horns atop its head. Its sharp scales radiated a fierce glow as it continuously transformed.
“This thing is really terrifying,” Qiu Zhan Yu exclaimed.
“Yeah,” Jin Zhen Gu nodded, visibly shaken.
This Three-Headed Divine Crocodile was at the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm. If it successfully passed its tribulation and transformed into a Three-Headed Divine Dragon, it would become a Golden Immortal expert.
Roar!
A deafening dragon roar shook the heavens, its aura violent. Weaker cultivators hastily retreated, unable to withstand the sound.
At this moment, Lin Fan observed the surroundings.
True Immortal Realm, Profound Immortal Realm.
Hmm!
Golden Immortal Realm.
Among the hidden experts, there were actually a few at the Golden Immortal Realm.
What surprised Lin Fan even more was that among those gathered for the dragon hunt were disciples from the Heaven and Earth Sect.
These disciples were actually elders of the sect.
Within the Heaven and Earth Sect, anyone who reached the True Immortal Realm could become an elder.
The elders had authority over all disciples except the Divine Heir.
This time, the Heaven and Earth Sect had sent thirteen people, all at the Profound Immortal Realm, with one at the Golden Immortal Realm.
Although the Three-Headed Divine Crocodile was a treasure trove, it hadn’t reached the level to prompt the sect’s top experts to come out personally.
The Three-Headed Divine Crocodile knew many were hiding around, but it had no choice now.
The thunder tribulation had come too suddenly. If it survived, it would become a true divine dragon, a Golden Immortal-level dragon soaring freely through heaven and earth.
At that time, even ordinary Golden Immortal experts would not be its match.
Boom!
Another thunderbolt descended from the sky. This bolt was massive and filled with terrifying power. Even a Profound Immortal expert would be severely injured or die outright under such a strike.
At this moment, the Three-Headed Divine Crocodile suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out a green inner core from its body to absorb the thunder tribulation.
Crackling!
A sound of breaking echoed from the Three-Headed Divine Crocodile.
It was shedding its skin, and its scales began to fall off one by one, quickly replaced by golden scales.
At this moment, the people hidden in the void were suddenly shocked.
“This is the Three-Headed Golden Dragon. It’s mutating, even more powerful and valuable than the Three-Headed Divine Dragon.”
…
Roar!
At this moment, the Three-Headed Golden Dragon roared furiously. As it endured the final thunderbolt, droplets of golden blood spilled from its body.
“Go! It has already become a dragon, and it’s in a weakened state.”
No one knew who shouted first.
One after another, mighty spiritual techniques erupted, rushing directly toward the Three-Headed Golden Dragon.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, everything happened too fast for anyone to react.
Even Lin Fan was stunned.
Before their eyes, the Three-Headed Golden Dragon exploded, tearing apart…
It was dead…
It had died far too quickly.
Lin Fan had originally been thinking of waiting a bit, hoping that luck might bring him some gains.
