Lin Fan never expected that subduing the Primordial Metal would be so quick. The creature it transformed into seemed no more than an ant to him, easily crushed beneath his palm with no difficulty whatsoever.
Back in the day, it probably would have taken him some effort.
It seems this is one of the benefits of growing stronger.
Within the “Demon City,” four of the five Primordial Elements were already secured, with only one remaining. Once the Primordial Wood was found and all five elements gathered, the “Demon City” would undergo a transformation, its powers flowing freely and harmoniously.
The disciples of the Vast Ocean Sect were still waiting for him outside, and Lin Fan smiled inwardly. What he had just done was earth-shattering. When the disciples inevitably asked who he was, revealing his identity would surely stun them all. The thought of their reactions sent a thrill through him.
It turned out that showing off was incredibly exhilarating once one had the power.
The disciples of the Vast Ocean Sect, seeing Lin Fan walk out from the void, exchanged glances and silently agreed on what they should do next.
Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, as if he had just completed something utterly mundane.
From years of experience, Lin Fan had long mastered such situations. He didn’t need to think twice—he already knew exactly what to do.
In an instant, Lin Fan landed before the group, a faint smile on his face, waiting for the disciples of the Vast Ocean Sect to speak first.
For the disciples, their hearts were filled with excitement. The man standing before them was none other than the Human Emperor, Lin Fan.
Such a dangerous secret realm was effortlessly destroyed in his hands. If they told others, who would believe it?
“Ahem!” Lin Fan waited for a while, but no one spoke. He felt a bit helpless.
“You’re all staring at me like that—could it be that you recognize me?” Lin Fan tried to prompt them.
But to his dismay, they shook their heads. “No, we don’t.”
The disciples of the Vast Ocean Sect were even more convinced of what their junior brother had said.
Their junior brother was right—this Human Emperor was indeed a low-key legend.
An ordinary person would have already introduced themselves by now.
“Really don’t know me?” Lin Fan asked again, refusing to believe it.
That didn’t make sense. How could none of them recognize him?
“We don’t,” the disciples of the Vast Ocean Sect shook their heads again.
They had already agreed beforehand to act as if they didn’t know him.
Lin Fan finally sighed in resignation. He gently raised his hand, and a wisp of Primordial Metal floated into the air.
“This is for you.”
The moment the Primordial Metal appeared, the disciples of the Vast Ocean Sect were instantly captivated.
To them, the Primordial Metal was incredibly sharp and fierce. Even its mere presence felt like it could tear their bodies apart. Although it was only a small wisp, its power could not be underestimated.
For the disciples, even this single wisp could bring their cultivation techniques to completion.
After all, this was the Primordial Metal, even purer than the Metal of Geng, a source of the most refined energy.
“Brother Lin, your power is truly incredible,” Ye Tao said, filled with admiration.
Lin Fan smiled faintly, though he felt a tinge of sadness inside. He was so famous, yet no one recognized him. It was quite a blow to his ego.
“Just okay,” Lin Fan replied indifferently, smiling gently.
Wu Tianhai looked at Lin Fan with reverence. Remembering what his senior had said, he calmed his emotions and bowed in gratitude.
After all, without Lin Fan’s help, he would never have obtained the Primordial Metal.
Qian Xue had a small idea forming in her mind—if they could invite Lin Fan back to their sect, the sect leader would surely be delighted. But just as she was about to speak, something unusual occurred.
The tranquil void suddenly rippled.
“Wudi Sect is currently under attack by the ancient race’s massive army. We beg all sects to come to our aid!”
The voice that echoed through the void was filled with sorrow and urgency, as if facing an insurmountable disaster. A moment later, another message followed.
“This time, King Wei, King Qi, and King Zhen, the three great Kings of the ancient race, have led a million warriors to attack Wudi Sect. If anyone is willing to assist, Wudi Sect will be forever grateful!”
“What’s going on?” Lin Fan asked, puzzled by the voice.
“This is the Interdimensional Transmission Technique,” Qian Xue calmly explained. “When sects in the great races face annihilation by the ancient race, they often use this method to seek help.”
“You’ve seen this before?” Lin Fan noticed their calm expressions and asked in surprise.
“Yes, this happens occasionally, but few dare to help. The ancient race is simply too powerful. When their armies gather, they become terrifyingly strong. Most sects of the great races are focused on self-preservation and dare not provoke them,” Qian Xue replied.
“Never thought this time three Kings would come out. What did Wudi Sect do?” Wu Tianhai asked in disbelief.
Three Kings were incredibly powerful, and Wudi Sect was a relatively weak sect. How could it possibly resist?
This message spread across a small portion of the Ancient Saint Realm.
When the beings of the great races heard the transmission, many were enraged and wanted to help. But upon hearing that three Kings had emerged, they all fell silent. They knew that going would only mean certain death.
Lin Fan looked at the ripples in the void, his heart stirred.
Three Kings coming out at once saved him the trouble.
Originally, Lin Fan had planned to gather all five Primordial Elements to boost his power before seeking out King Wei for a confrontation.
But now, his strength had already grown significantly. He was more than powerful enough.
Even if King Wei himself appeared before him, he would not fear him in the slightest.
“Senior Sister, is that Wudi Sect?” Ye Tao, who had been joking moments ago, suddenly trembled upon hearing the voice.
Qian Xue and Wu Tianhai exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. They understood why Ye Tao reacted this way.
“Junior Brother, forget about it,” Wu Tianhai said regretfully.
Even if the entire Vast Ocean Sect went, they would only be slaughtered by the ancient race.
“But my wife is there,” Ye Tao panicked. Although his wife didn’t really like him, she was still his wife.
“Junior Brother, even if we all went, it wouldn’t help. With three Kings leading a million ancient race warriors, Wudi Sect will be destroyed in an instant,” Qian Xue tried to comfort him.
They were powerless to help. Even if they wanted to, they lacked the strength.
At that moment, Ye Tao suddenly dropped to his knees, kowtowing desperately.
“Human Emperor, please help me, please!”
“You know who I am?” Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy, his earlier gloom instantly lifting.
“Of course, of course…” Ye Tao hurriedly replied.
“Haha…”
Lin Fan burst into laughter. With a wave of his hand, he tore open the void, tracing the path of the Interdimensional Transmission Technique.
“What’s your wife’s name?” Lin Fan asked, feeling elated. He had caught them pretending not to know him.
“Yulan,” Ye Tao replied.
…
“Junior Brother, get up. The Human Emperor has already left,” Wu Tianhai said.
“Left?” Ye Tao panicked.
“Yes, to Wudi Sect.”
