“What a truly extraordinary man he is! How wonderful it would be to have him by my side,” murmured the leader of the Rabbit Clan to herself.
The surrounding beings from the Great Thousand Races looked at the Rabbit Clan leader with expressions of bewilderment. They hadn’t expected their leader, known for her loyalty, to ever act like a smitten girl.
“What are you all staring at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman before?” The Rabbit Clan leader shouted at the crowd, her small face blushing bright red.
…
Lin Fan walked away with great swagger, his heroic figure mesmerizing many. To the beings of the Great Thousand Races, his silhouette was incredibly handsome.
Yet, at this moment, Lin Fan was running frantically.
If he didn’t flee quickly, he really would be an idiot.
That bald monk would certainly not let things go easily. If he caught up, it would be quite troublesome.
Lin Fan had struck the monk’s chest so hard—how could any self-respecting male endure such an insult?
Especially considering how much that monk loved to show off, if he were to walk around afterward with two big lumps on his chest, he’d surely become the laughingstock of the world.
“The Black Tiger Piercing Heart” was simply insurmountable. Whoever was hit by it was destined for misfortune. Restoring oneself to normal was practically impossible.
The city ruled by the King of Might truly disappointed Lin Fan. It was destitute and barren, not even comparable to the Desperate Marquis’s domain.
Lin Fan was now heading toward the location where the Primordial Wood resided.
Determined to grow stronger, Lin Fan had a clear objective.
Once he found the Primordial Wood, the “Demon City” could evolve into a supreme treasure.
…
At the highest realm.
“Human Race Emperor…” Seated upon his throne, the Supreme of the Ancient Race gritted his teeth in fury. He hadn’t expected this Human Emperor, who hadn’t appeared for three years, to emerge and immediately slay three of his kings.
To the Supreme, the loss of these kings was insignificant. What truly enraged him was that the Human Emperor repeatedly challenged his authority—an affront he could not tolerate.
Especially with the imminent opening of the Ten Thousand Realms, how could he allow a human to distract him?
“Jie!”
At that moment, the void trembled slightly, and a figure suddenly appeared before the Supreme known as “Jie.”
“You,” Supreme Jie said, his expression darkening as he looked at the figure wrapped in black mist.
“Master Saint, the elders have sent me to help eliminate that arrogant ant. Furthermore, the other six elders are greatly dissatisfied with you,” the figure cloaked in black mist said in a gloomy tone.
“Reckless!” Supreme Jie roared, his fury erupting as a mighty energy surged forth, instantly forming an invisible giant hand that lunged toward the dark figure below.
“I am merely delivering the elders’ message,” the shadow said calmly. Suddenly, a vortex appeared before him, swallowing the invisible hand entirely.
“Tell them not to interfere in my affairs,” Supreme Jie said darkly, his face twisted with anger.
“I am only following orders. If you have any grievances, take them up with the seven elders,” the shadow replied indifferently, his tone still deep and unyielding, as if he held no fear for “Jie” whatsoever.
In Supreme Jie’s profound eyes, a strange light flickered before being hidden beneath his drooping eyelids.
“Fine. If that’s the case, I’ll leave it to you,” Supreme Jie finally said.
“Farewell!” The shadow nodded slightly before vanishing from the hall like mist, leaving no trace behind.
After the shadow disappeared, Supreme Jie stood up, his expression dark and brooding, gazing toward the seven towering illusory towers in the distance.
“You’re meddling too much.”
…
“It seems this is the place I need to explore,” Lin Fan murmured, stopping after more than ten days of travel.
Before him stretched a forest bathed in dark green light. Strangely, this area could even block spiritual consciousness from probing.
Compared to the other locations, this secret realm containing the Primordial Wood was far more peculiar.
“The Primordial Wood, truly the source of life, brimming with vitality. Even the trees at its periphery are growing so luxuriantly,” Lin Fan marveled as he surveyed the surroundings.
However, Lin Fan remained cautious. Scattered around the forest’s edge were numerous skeletons.
Some appeared ancient, while others looked freshly dead.
Stepping down from the sky, Lin Fan walked forward.
Crack!
Suddenly, a brittle sound startled him. Looking down, he realized he had crushed a bone as white as jade beneath his foot.
“The owner of this skeleton must have been an extremely powerful cultivator,” Lin Fan deduced at a glance.
“Ding! Congratulations on discovering the skeleton of a Saint-Heaven Seventh Transformation expert.”
“Just as I suspected, this skeleton’s owner was no ordinary figure,” Lin Fan murmured, growing more serious.
If even a Saint-Heaven Seventh Transformation expert had perished at the forest’s edge, what kind of danger lurked within the secret realm containing the Primordial Wood?
According to the map given by Fairy Hongyun, this place shouldn’t have posed much danger.
It seemed that Fairy Hongyun’s knowledge was outdated.
Rustle!
Suddenly, an almost imperceptible sound came from behind Lin Fan.
Sensing it instantly, Lin Fan frowned and turned swiftly, unleashing a palm strike.
“What the hell was that?”
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating a tree spirit.”
“A tree spirit?” Lin Fan frowned. He had never heard of such a creature before.
Even the library of Yun Sect had no records of them.
But considering that books could generate spirits, it made sense that trees in a place brimming with life force could become demonized.
“Damn it, looks like obtaining the Primordial Wood won’t be easy. I haven’t even entered the secret realm yet, and I’ve already encountered these creatures. I’ll need to be extra cautious inside.”
Strike first, strike hard.
Lin Fan wouldn’t wait passively for these hidden tree spirits to attack.
“Hmph! You dare ambush me? Today, I’ll chop every last one of you down!” Lin Fan shouted, brandishing the Eternal Axe in all directions. A massive axe slash exploded outward, obliterating trees for dozens of miles in every direction.
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating a tree spirit.”
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating a tree spirit.”
The tree spirits weren’t particularly strong. Most were at the Azure-Heaven level, with the strongest reaching the Wild-Heaven stage—nothing Lin Fan couldn’t handle easily.
“That should clear things up,” Lin Fan said happily, looking at the now-empty expanse around him.
Now, who among these tree spirits would dare trouble him?
In the darkness, the surviving tree spirits cried out in terror.
“This being is too ruthless!”
“Devour him! We must devour him!”
“He dares kill so many of our kin—he must die.”
“Stay hidden! Let him enter the secret realm. Once he encounters those terrifying entities inside and emerges wounded, we’ll swarm him and consume him whole.”
“Yes, Tree Emperor!”
