Chapter 1004: Demon Lord, Prepare to Die!

The beautiful girl had perished, leaving the two men feeling a pang of sorrow. What an exquisite beauty she had been, now gone forever.

Qiu Zanyu spoke in a hesitant tone, “Bro, can’t we be a bit more gentle with pretty girls in the future?”

“Yeah, yeah, she was such a lovely girl,” Jinzhengu’s head bobbed like a drum.

“You two really want to die surrounded by beauties, huh? No more nonsense. Follow me underground soon. You two just watch for opportunities. At the first chance, strike immediately,” Lin Fan said, his heart pounding with excitement. After all, there was an injured Demon Lord down below.

Just hearing that title was enough to know it was no ordinary opponent.

“Bro, don’t worry. We’re very experienced at this,” both nodded immediately. The time for action was approaching, and they couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

They wondered what kind of demon lord this was—was he hideously ugly or terrifyingly fierce?

But with their big brother around, they had no fear at all.

The underground abyss was terrifying to imagine—ten thousand zhang deep into the void.

Indeed, only a great demon would casually descend into such a terrifying abyss.

Lin Fan had already mastered the Primordial Five Elements, and was extremely proficient in them. Under the ripple of his spiritual energy, the hard earth suddenly became like water, emitting wave after wave of ripples.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Fan directly led the two underground. The underground rocks softened instantly upon nearing his body.

“What kind of divine ability is this? It’s so powerful,” Qiu Zanyu exclaimed in amazement. Then his face lit up, “If we could master this ability too, we wouldn’t have to fear being chased and killed anymore.”

“This isn’t a divine ability—it’s the Primordial Five Elements. To pass through earth, you must find Primordial Earth,” Lin Fan smiled. The Primordial Five Elements were extremely rare in the Ancient Sage World.

“Ah! So difficult?” Qiu Zanyu exclaimed in surprise.

In the Infinite Continent, the Primordial Five Elements were considered treasures. When Lin Fan first learned about them from his sect, he had been slightly surprised. In the Ancient Sage World, they belonged to the Xuanhuang Realm and weren’t particularly hard to find, but in the Infinite Continent, they were extremely scarce.

Mainly because many powerful cultivators used the Primordial Five Elements for forging artifacts, causing them to become extremely rare.

To cultivate a martial arts technique based on the Primordial Five Elements would likely require an enormous price.

Just then, Lin Fan noticed the surrounding rocks growing increasingly harder, requiring more and more spiritual energy to pass through.

For an ordinary Ancient Realm expert, this might even cause their spiritual energy to stall, trapping them underground.

Even a True Immortal at the early stage would have to work hard.

Suddenly, Lin Fan felt his foot sink into emptiness, as if stepping into a void.

“We’re here. Be careful,” Lin Fan warned.

“Bro, don’t worry. We’ll definitely follow closely behind you,” Qiu Zanyu said.

“Wow, I never imagined there could be such a vast space underground. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it,” Jinzhengu marveled. The underground space stretched endlessly, with swirling black mist like dragons writhing.

The surrounding atmosphere was filled with oppressive yin energy, quite terrifying.

Lin Fan led the two down gently, finally landing on solid ground. This underground world, two layers of earth, was truly wondrous.

This space seemed to be artificially created, as the surrounding void showed signs of deliberate shaping.

“This spooky place is terrifying. If it weren’t for big brother, I wouldn’t dare come here,” Qiu Zanyu patted his plump chest.

“With big brother here, what are we afraid of? Right, big brother?” Jinzhengu chuckled. They were quite interested in adventures.

Now with a strong protector, they felt a growing sense of security.

After an unknown amount of time.

“There isn’t even a single living creature around here. If I were alone, I’d definitely go insane from fear,” Qiu Zanyu said.

“Be quiet,” Lin Fan furrowed his brow, signaling them to stay silent.

The two immediately shut up, cautiously scanning the surroundings and whispering, “Bro, what’s wrong?”

“There’s movement ahead. Let’s go quietly and see if it’s where the Demon Lord is healing. If so, don’t alarm him.”

Lin Fan wouldn’t be careless without understanding the Demon Lord’s situation. After all, who knew what might happen.

If the Demon Lord’s power was extremely strong—even injured, enough to crush him—then they’d have no choice but to flee.

At that moment, ahead appeared a faint red glow, accompanied by an overwhelming demonic aura. Compared to this, the previous Yin Zhenfeng’s demonic aura was like comparing a dwarf to a giant.

There was no comparison between the two.

Quietly.

The three of them were extremely cautious, you could say cowardly to the extreme.

Qiu Zanyu and Jinzhengu also noticed that their big brother didn’t seem as domineering as before. He seemed equally cautious toward the unknown.

They had roamed the Infinite Continent, always prioritizing survival, being as cowardly as possible when necessary.

Now seeing their big brother’s style, they felt a sense of camaraderie.

If big brother was cowardly, then they’d be cowardly too.

Silently…

Walking without making a sound, they crawled forward, hiding behind a rock.

“Bro, look, there seems to be someone inside that red glow,” Qiu Zanyu whispered.

“That’s not red light—that’s blood mist,” Jinzhengu said.

“I see it. Don’t chatter,” Lin Fan replied.

In the distant void, a red beam descended from the sky, while another erupted from the abyss below. At the intersection of these two crimson beams sat a man dressed in pitch-black robes, motionless as if dead.

On the black robe worn by this man, broken strands of celestial laws coiled around him. The blood mist continuously churned, then transformed into twinkling stars, vanishing into the heavens.

Undoubtedly, this was blood essence.

Such an immense amount of blood essence—how many people must have been killed to produce this?

However, what concerned Lin Fan the most was the cultivation level of this Demon Lord.

As Lin Fan looked at him, he froze completely.

Xuan Immortal?

Lin Fan seemed to have misjudged, so he carefully looked again.

Indeed, it was a Xuan Immortal.

“Do you two know what cultivation level comes after True Immortal?” Lin Fan asked.

“Bro, isn’t it Xuan Immortal?” Jinzhengu said in surprise. After all, big brother was the sect’s divine prodigy. How could he not know about cultivation levels?

“Then tell me, if a heavily injured Xuan Immortal appears before us, what should we do?” Lin Fan asked again.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zanyu and Jinzhengu immediately replied without hesitation, “We definitely take him down. An injured Xuan Immortal’s power would be about the same as a True Immortal’s.”

“And big brother, you yourself are at the True Immortal level. But wait, there’s no injured Xuan Immortal here, right?”

“Hey, bro, you don’t mean that Demon Lord, do you?”

Lin Fan nodded, then sneered, “Come on, let’s walk out openly.”

“Got it,” Qiu Zanyu and Jinzhengu immediately smiled, brimming with confidence.

“Demon Lord, prepare to die!” Lin Fan shouted directly.
