“Thank you, Old Ancestor Qitian! It’s said that your Supreme Crushing Hand Seal can shatter anything in the world. It was indeed worth our sect’s risk this time. Only the Supreme Crushing Hand Seal could break the bottleneck of my cultivation technique, the Immortal Rebirth After Fiery Purification. Now, with immortal energy pouring into my body and the barrier shattered, when am I still waiting for the Immortal King Realm?”
Han Juntian laughed heartily, a trace of excitement appearing on his face. Then he roared, “Immortal King Realm!”
Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled. A surge of immortal energy erupted from Han Juntian. At this moment, the already shattered Immortal Gate thundered open, and a mysterious stream of immortal energy poured in. All of Han Juntian’s countless techniques were purified, each one seemingly gaining a soul, becoming active.
One after another, the spirits of techniques roared, evolving infinite abilities, absorbing the flowing immortal energy, and finally roaring in unison as they all ascended.
This was the most important sign of reaching the Immortal King Realm—transforming countless techniques into immortal arts. This was a qualitative change. Thus, anyone who attained the Immortal King Realm could never be defeated by beings below that level, for there was now a distinction, the difference between mortals and immortals.
“How infuriating…” Old Ancestor Qitian burned with anger in his heart. He never expected to be used like this.
Han Juntian had never truly intended to rely on his pressure but instead wanted to endure his Supreme Crushing Hand Seal. After this technique advanced into an immortal art, it possessed unfathomable power, capable of shattering anything in heaven and earth. Indeed, it became a highly offensive immortal art.
Lin Fan looked at the sect leader, unable to believe he had actually ascended. It was terrifying—simply unimaginable. But then again, one must not underestimate others. How could Han Juntian have become the leader of a great sect without being extraordinary?
Throughout the Heaven and Earth Sect, excitement reigned. Their sect leader had truly succeeded. An Immortal King, another Immortal King added to the Heaven and Earth Sect. With the Heaven Emperor absent, the Immortal King was now the strongest, capable of controlling heaven and earth, deciding everything.
Rarely had there been battles between the Kunlun Divine Sect and the Heaven and Earth Sect as fierce as today’s. But now, a war sparked by a single disciple had propelled Han Juntian to the Immortal King Realm. This battle was not a loss at all—it was actually a great gain.
“Haha, Old Ancestor Qitian, you see that? Your Kunlun Divine Sect is finished. You’ve helped our sect leader ascend to the Immortal King Realm, and your contribution is immeasurable. Although you’re old, you still have some use,” Lin Fan laughed. Although Qitian Old Ancestor was ancient in age, he maintained a youthful form. Now being called an old bastard by Lin Fan was unbearable for Qitian.
Although Han Juntian had now ascended to the Immortal King Realm, he was still weak inside despite his outward strength. His injuries were severe and required immediate recovery. Otherwise, if Qitian subdued him, there would be no way to recover. Of course, such a thing was impossible—after all, the Heaven and Earth Sect’s Supreme Elders would never allow it.
Those hidden experts in the void didn’t know what to think.
Envy—that was exactly it.
They never imagined that Han Juntian would actually ascend to the Immortal King Realm under these circumstances, and it was all Qitian Old Ancestor’s doing.
If not for Qitian’s unique immortal art, Han Juntian would likely have needed to work hard to break through the Immortal King barrier. Now, everything had naturally fallen into place.
Lin Fan was now thinking about something. All the glory and benefits had gone to Han Juntian, while he himself had gained nothing. This was too unfair—he absolutely couldn’t let it go like this.
Lin Fan directly blocked Han Juntian’s path. “Master, you go back. Leave the rest to me.”
He wanted to unleash his potential, to show his worth. How could he gain nothing from all this? Looking at the current situation, there was a good chance of a ceasefire. If that happened, he would truly suffer a great loss.
“Don’t act recklessly. I’m seriously injured now,” Han Juntian whispered.
“Master, I know you’re injured, but you should look at this too—you’ve gained the benefit and become an Immortal King. I haven’t yet. No matter what, I must gain something too,” Lin Fan said helplessly. This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go. If he returned now, he would definitely feel resentful.
Han Juntian was taken aback, thinking how fearless his disciple was. Benefits? To ascend to the Immortal King, he had nearly lost his life. But this disciple—treating the Kunlun Divine Sect like an ATM machine, wanting to take from them one by one? Was he really this excessive?
Before Han Juntian could say more, Lin Fan took a step forward, directly facing the furious Qitian Old Ancestor. He spoke openly: “Qitian Old Ancestor, my sect leader has gained benefits from you. I, Lin Fan, have not. So the next battle will be between you and me. Don’t say I bully you—I’ll give you one incense stick’s time to rest. You can boldly seek help. I, Lin Fan, will not utter a single word against it.”
Boom!
At this moment, everyone around was shocked.
Was this kid crazy? 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 so freely just because you’ve ascended to the Immortal King Realm. Do you really believe the Kunlun Divine Sect is so easily bullied?” Tai Qiantian roared, his eyes blood-red.
He was furious now. He and Han Juntian were at the same cultivation level, yet now Han Juntian had ascended to the Immortal King, leaving him far behind.
They were figures from the same era, always competing, yet now Han Juntian had taken the lead, reaching the Immortal King Realm. This shook Tai Qiantian’s strong heart. Could it be that he was truly inferior?
Han Juntian felt helpless and was about to speak when Lin Fan directly stopped him. “Master, please, let me gain something. You go back and rest well. You’re not needed here anymore.”
After ascending to the Immortal King Realm, Han Juntian was in a great mood. Yet 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 invite death?
Was Qitian Old Ancestor someone easy to deal with? If provoked, Qitian would definitely kill him without hesitation.
Lin Fan didn’t bother arguing with Han Juntian anymore. He directly shouted霸道ly, “Tai Qiantian, you shut up. Look at your wretched self—cultivating for so long yet still failing to reach the Immortal King Realm. Aren’t you ashamed? Hurry up and step down, retreat into seclusion, and stop coming out to humiliate yourself. As for you, old bastard Qitian, I, Lin Fan, will settle accounts with you later. Do you have any objections?”
“Seeking death…” Qitian Old Ancestor was furious.
He never imagined things would develop to this point. With countless eyes watching, today the Kunlun Divine Sect’s face would surely be completely lost, becoming the laughingstock of all sects from now on.
Qitian Old Ancestor glared at Lin Fan, finally calming down, his voice deep and chilling. “Fine, today I, Old Ancestor Qitian, will kill you and wash away the humiliation the Kunlun Divine Sect has suffered.”
Then Qitian Old Ancestor turned his gaze to 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 save this kid, even if it means the Kunlun Divine Sect’s destruction, we will fight the Heaven and Earth Sect to the bitter end…”
At this moment, Qitian was furious. He now wanted to completely 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 kill this old bastard later, you must not interfere, or else I will leave the sect.”
Everyone: …
