The Five Supreme Beings launched their ultimate, most powerful attacks, determined to suppress Lin Fan, only to find that they had struck empty air. The vast force shattered the heavens and earth, leaving them full of holes, yet the figure of the human had already vanished without a trace.
“Where did he go this time?”
The Supremes were furious, nearly exploding with rage. Victory had seemed within reach, yet he disappeared again. How could this not provoke anger?
The Five Supremes simultaneously turned their gazes to the void, hoping the Will of Heaven would show them a path forward.
But at this moment, even the Will of Heaven remained silent. This time, Lin Fan had completely vanished, not merely hidden like before.
“The Ancient Holy Altar—could this human be using the power of the Ancient Holy Altar?”
The Will of Heaven speculated inwardly, but quickly dismissed the thought. The Ancient Holy Altar connected all realms and could traverse worlds, but to descend into a target world, there needed to be an existing link.
Besides, this human had only just obtained the Ancient Holy Altar—how could he possibly possess such ability?
Still, to the Will of Heaven, this was no longer important.
Before long, the gates of all worlds would open, and every realm would become theirs to command. Though this human had acquired the Ancient Holy Altar, in the end, he would still fall back into their grasp.
…
A dizzying whirlwind of space and time—despite Lin Fan’s current cultivation being sufficient to defy heaven itself, he still felt like vomiting.
“Burning half a million Saint Sun Pills to traverse worlds… Just now, the system didn’t speak at all—could it have been studying the Ancient Holy Altar the entire time?”
When Lin Fan opened his eyes, he found this world strangely familiar.
“So this is how thin the spiritual energy is in the Xuan Huang Realm.”
Back in the Xuan Huang Realm, Lin Fan hadn’t noticed any difference in the spiritual energy, but now, returning, he realized the spiritual energy here was less than a thousandth of that in the Ancient Holy Realm.
During the world traversal, the pile of Saint Sun Pills, as high as a small mountain, had burned completely, transforming into a colossal Saint Sun Dragon that surged into the Ancient Holy Altar.
The Ancient Holy Altar, like a great tree, had its branches penetrating countless voids, extending into one world after another.
With just a single thought, one could go wherever they wished.
Lin Fan had already spent nearly five years in the Ancient Holy Realm and now wanted to return to the Xuan Huang Realm for a visit.
More importantly, he wanted to bring some people with him.
When the Ten Thousand Realms opened, all the great worlds would suffer.
Even if you sealed the barriers to ascension and cut off the path to eternity, it would be useless.
In the end, you could only sit and wait for death.
Lin Fan looked around. He stood in a dense forest, with towering ancient trees rising from the earth, blocking out the sky and sunlight. The brilliant sun could only pierce through the thick canopy in scattered beams.
Swoosh!
The sound of wind, the rustling of leaves—but Lin Fan also heard hurried footsteps.
His expression turned odd. Could it be that the moment he returned, he had stumbled upon something like this?
Looking ahead, Lin Fan saw a conflict unfolding in the distance.
The auras weren’t particularly strong, merely at the level of entering the Divine.
But to Lin Fan, whether it was entering the Divine, Small Heavenly Ascension, or Great Heavenly Ascension, all were mere ants.
In the past, if he encountered such a situation, Lin Fan would have crept up and struck from behind with a club. But now, he didn’t even have the slightest interest.
Everything was just too weak.
So weak it was almost ridiculous.
“Villain! You’ve grievously injured our young master, committing a crime unforgivable by heaven and earth. If you don’t want your sect destroyed, surrender now and come back with me to face justice,” said an old man. His eyes were sharp, his aura vibrant. Despite his aged body, he stood tall and unbowed beneath the heavens.
His form was like an unsheathed sword, standing firm between heaven and earth.
Two young women were surrounded by soldiers clad in golden armor, while the old man stood with a dark expression, radiating an aura that sent chills down one’s spine.
“He molested my junior apprentice sister. This was entirely his just deserts,” said a determined young woman, unflinching despite the encirclement, though her eyes betrayed a hint of apprehension.
The woman she was protecting stood behind her—petite, delicate, and exquisitely beautiful, every movement graceful and gentle.
“Hmph!” The old man flicked his sleeve and stared at the two. “Surrender, or the Hua Jian Sect will be destroyed because of you.”
When he said the word “destruction,” his tone suddenly turned heavier, his killing intent surging like a storm, clearly not joking.
“One must bear the consequences of one’s actions. If you have the guts, come after me! Why involve my sect? Is this how the Wang family conducts itself?”
Qin Yue’er felt a surge of anger. She hadn’t expected the young nobleman who had molested her junior apprentice sister to be the son of the Wang family from Tian Shan City.
The Hua Jian Sect was a small sect that had gradually grown into a mid-tier sect in recent years. To the sect, worldly families were mere shrimps, easily crushed with a single hand.
But the Wang family was different. Rumor had it they had a powerful backer—no matter how mighty a sect, they would treat the Wangs with courtesy.
Even high-tier sects might not be a match for the Wang family.
“Hmph! Our young master is of the highest nobility. You dare cripple him so easily? The entire Hua Jian Sect isn’t worth a single hair on his body. Don’t think that because your sect is protected by the Jiu Xiao Sect, we Wangs won’t dare touch you. You should know that my master is deeply connected with the Saint Devil Sect.”
As the old man spoke of his master, his eyes gleamed with sharpness.
Especially when he mentioned the Saint Devil Sect, his gaze burned with fervor.
Whoosh!
At that moment, space tore open, and a figure appeared in the air.
“Master…”
Qin Yue’er saw the figure and felt immediate relief. She couldn’t defeat this old man, but now that her sect leader had arrived, they were safe.
“Housekeeper Long.” The old woman floating in midair, leaning on a staff, addressed the figure respectfully.
“Hua Jian Old Crone, you can explain the situation. The Wang family does not bully others without cause, but we will not tolerate being wronged either,” the old man said.
Hearing this, Qin Yue’er felt disdain. The Wang family didn’t bully others without cause?
Hmph!
She could go ask around Tian Shan City how many people had been bullied by that Wang family young master.
Hua Jian Old Crone looked at her two disciples, her eyes flickering with hesitation. “Yue’er, you two should go to the Wang family.”
Qin Yue’er had expected her sect leader to support them, but instead, she was ordering them to go to the Wang family.
This… this…
“Master, it was the Wang family’s young master who molested my junior apprentice sister. I acted in defense!”
Qin Yue’er cried out, not understanding what she had done wrong.
But to Hua Jian Old Crone, she was powerless in this matter.
The Wang family was untouchable.
The Hua Jian Sect was a sect of women, constantly eyed by countless other sects. Without the protection of the Jiu Xiao Sect, they would have been torn apart long ago.
And now, the Wang family was no ordinary foe. Even the Jiu Xiao Sect might not protect the Hua Jian Sect this time.
“Hua Jian Old Crone, rest assured. This matter won’t involve your sect. As for these two disciples, they will be taken back to the Wang family and handed over to the head of the family for punishment,” the old man declared.
“Please, Housekeeper Long, spare the lives of my two disciples.”
At this moment, Hua Jian Old Crone had no words left. In this matter, even she had no say.
The Wang family reigned supreme. The Hua Jian Sect simply couldn’t afford to provoke them.
