Not long after Lin Fan had hidden himself, a figure emerged between heaven and earth. Gazing at the shattered void around him, this figure suddenly erupted in fury.
“Creatures of the Myriad Races!”
The Supreme “Jie” burned with rage. He never expected that thousands of ancient clans would be destroyed, and even his three trusted monarchs had perished here.
“Who was it? Just who was it?” At the very moment his monarchs died, a sudden tremor stirred deep within the Supreme Jie’s soul.
“Heaven’s will reverses, time’s radiance flows!”
With a shriek, Supreme Jie uttered these eight words. In an instant, the void violently trembled.
Suddenly, an image appeared before Supreme Jie.
Upon seeing the scene within the image, Supreme Jie could no longer contain his fury and roared.
“It’s you again, Human Emperor!”
Supreme Jie would never forget this figure. This detestable human had cost him one of his Yuan Shen avatars. Such a crime was nothing short of deserving death.
“Where did you go? Where are you!” In an instant, Supreme Jie’s divine consciousness spread out, searching desperately for this hated enemy, but found nothing.
“Jie, what exactly has happened here recently?” Just then, a figure wearing a bronze mask suddenly tore through the void and appeared before Jie.
This figure wore a dark golden robe, and on its back was embroidered a single, massive character.
“Holy!”
“What do you want in my territory?” Jie eyed the newcomer warily, his expression clearly displeased.
“Hehehe!” The figure chuckled softly, a laugh that sounded both eerie and laced with a chilling murderous intent. “Remember, this is the first time, and the last. If you ever dare to question me in this tone again, you will learn the consequences.”
“You…” Jie’s face darkened, but he dared not say more.
“I don’t care what’s happening in your domain, but I hope you resolve it quickly. The barriers between worlds are about to open, and the Ancient Holy Realm needs to replenish its essence once more. I certainly don’t want you to end up like Gengu—falling victim to the Invasion of the Source Demons due to carelessness and dying at the hands of a bunch of ants,” Holy said coldly.
“I understand,” Jie nodded.
“Take care of yourself.”
In the blink of an eye, “Holy” vanished from the spot.
“Damn it!” Jie seethed inwardly, helpless. It was all because of strength—among the Eight Supreme Beings of the Ancient Race, he was the weakest.
“Human Emperor, I will surely slay you!”
A furious roar echoed across heaven and earth.
Deep beneath the earth in the abyss, Lin Fan was drenched in sweat, beads of perspiration pouring down.
Just moments ago, he had sensed a terrifying presence above him.
Though that ancient aura had not fully erupted, even the faintest traces of it had left Lin Fan trembling with fear.
“How terrifying! Who could that be?” Lin Fan knew the aura he had sensed wasn’t from “Jie.”
But soon, Lin Fan regained his composure. Clenching his fists, he steeled his resolve. Though formidable, he wouldn’t fear. The greater the pressure, the stronger his motivation.
After all, he was the chosen one with a system. In the future, he would surely become an unparalleled powerhouse.
For now, he would focus on cultivation, wait for the right moment, and then wreak havoc once more.
…
Within the Fox Clan’s sacred realm.
The Fox Clan Ancestor had suffered grave injuries, his face pale as paper. The moment he appeared, he instantly sealed his sanctuary, shrinking it into a speck of dust floating in the dimensions.
“Damned bastard! Daring to treat me like this! Once I recover, I’ll make you all pay dearly!” The Fox Ancestor roared in fury.
“You, Supreme Leader of the邪盟, just wait! From now on, every member of your邪盟 will be slaughtered by this old ancestor. None shall be spared!”
The actions of the邪盟’s Supreme Leader had utterly enraged the Fox Ancestor.
“Beasts! They’re all beasts!”
“This won’t do. I must seek out the treasures of heaven and earth, or I don’t know how long it will take to recover.”
The Fox Ancestor’s mind raced.
“The Dragon Clan, the Kunpeng Clan, the Fenghuang Clan, the Taotie Clan, the Hun Dun Clan, the Qiong Qi Clan… the Ten Ancient Ferocious Beasts, each mighty and powerful. If I wish to recover quickly, I must consume their essence to replenish myself.”
At this moment, the Fox Ancestor was ready to take a desperate gamble. Fortune favors the bold. To recover as soon as possible, this was the only way. But deciding which clan to hunt would require careful thought.
After escaping, the邪盟 Supreme Leader was still shaken. Eight Eternal Sovereigns at the Tenth Heaven’s Peak had self-destructed, unleashing a cataclysmic power.
Had he not fled, he might have been reduced to a pile of flesh—or even less.
Being able to suppress them was one thing, but enduring their self-destruction was another matter entirely.
“Just where did that Human Emperor find those Eternal Sovereigns?”
“The old fox ancestor also escaped, but he’s gravely injured. He must be hiding somewhere to recover. If I strike now, it might not be difficult.”
“A wounded Eternal Sovereign, their flesh must be a great treasure.”
In an instant, the邪盟 Supreme Leader vanished from the spot, setting off to hunt the wounded Fox Ancestor.
He knew this grudge was now sealed. Even if he didn’t pursue it, once the Fox Ancestor recovered, he would surely come seeking vengeance.
Since that was the case, better to strike first.
Deep beneath the earth, in the abyss.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged, completely immersed within his sacred realm.
Within this realm now, the power of cultivation was thick, opening up a new world.
Thirteen thousand living beings roamed within, each exhaling boundless spiritual energy with every breath.
It was as if thirteen thousand cultivators at the Fifth Heaven’s Peak were exhaling spiritual energy within Lin Fan’s realm.
If others were to learn of this, they would be stunned beyond belief.
This endless stream of spiritual energy was Lin Fan’s greatest asset.
“Master, I feel I’m only one step away from reaching the realm of the Supreme Treasures,” the Ancient Great Demon appeared before Lin Fan.
The Ancient Great Demon radiated immense power now, its scales gleaming with a mysterious luster, more vibrant than before. Each scale was like a tiny world, brimming with infinite strength.
“Only the Wood Element of the Primordial Five Elements remains. If the Five Elements are fully integrated and flow freely, then the moment of transformation will arrive,” Lin Fan knew exactly what the Ancient Great Demon lacked.
With all Five Elements complete, even greater power could be unleashed.
At that moment, ascending to the realm of Supreme Treasures would be like reaching the heavens in one step—transcending the mundane and achieving the sacred, reaching a state that countless treasures had longed for.
And at that time, the “Demon City” would unleash its true power.
“How is the flesh of the Fox Ancestor faring?” Lin Fan asked.
“Master, the flesh of the Fox Ancestor is still resisting fiercely.”
Lin Fan gazed ahead. The flesh of the Fox Ancestor floated there, now reduced to pulp, yet still radiating immense power. A nine-tailed red fox deity roared in fury, its howl driving back countless spirit constructs, even destroying the branches of the sacred parasol tree.
“Hmph, still trying to resist at this moment?”
“Seal it!”
“Ahhh! This old ancestor refuses to accept defeat! Human Emperor, may you meet a terrible end!”
