“Your sister…”
Lin Fan was speechless. The Dongtian had been fine, so how did things take such a turn?
It must be the result of the Water and Fire True Essence. Greed knows no bounds; like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, this was self-inflicted doom.
Since ascending from the Xuanhuang Realm, Lin Fan had been striving forward, step by step, improving himself with every move.
He supplemented his cultivation through robbery and ruthless killings.
Though he had a general understanding of the path of cultivation, he was still ignorant of many of its hidden intricacies.
Especially regarding the transformation of “will” into “Dao,” although he had heard of it before, he could not understand how his洞天 could become so saturated so quickly.
Throughout his journey, Lin Fan had slain countless enemies, each one’s essence being completely absorbed by his Dongtian.
To make matters worse, Lin Fan unfortunately developed a minor connection with the Emperor of Water and Fire, whose cave heaven merged into Lin Fan’s, enhancing its power.
Who was the Emperor of Water and Fire? A supreme deity unrivaled in the cosmos, whose洞天was unimaginably powerful.
Therefore, during the fusion, Lin Fan’s cultivation level leaped beyond the system’s limits, forcibly condensing his domain into a洞天.
Although newly formed, Lin Fan’s Cave Heaven was incomparably more powerful than others at the Cave Heaven stage.
Yet Lin Fan remained oblivious, continuously forcing more energy into his Dongtian.
Even worse, he planted the sacred Wutong tree within his cave heaven.
That was practically suicide.
Although the origins of the Wutong tree were shrouded in mystery, its ability to absorb sacred spiritual energy was earth-shattering, almost beyond human comprehension.
Vast torrents of holy spirit energy surged through the cave heaven, cleansing it, to the point where Lin Fan’s cave heaven contained more holy spirit energy than the Ancient Sage Realm itself.
What was even more outrageous was that Lin Fan had cultivated countless techniques to unprecedented levels.
He even enshrined the divine spirits of these techniques within his Dongtian.
Techniques such as the “True Ultimate Destruction Kick,” “Black Tiger掏心 (Black Tiger Ripping Heart),” “Reversing Heaven and Earth,” “Great Fan Ge Palm,” and “Disciplinarian” were all enshrined within the Dongtian. Since these techniques were already infinitely close to embodying the “Dao,” they pushed the Dongtian to its absolute limits.
Lin Fan’s cave heaven had no weaknesses.
Because any weakness had already been forcibly compensated for.
Then, upon discovering a massive clump of Water and Fire True Essence inside a coffin, Lin Fan didn’t hesitate and immediately absorbed it into his Dongtian.
Hence, the current situation.
The willpower of the Dongtian could no longer withstand the pressure; it had to transform into “Dao” to gain enough strength to control the Dongtian.
…
“Lin Fan, how many spiritual storms are currently present in your Dongtian?” Hongyun, whose knowledge stemmed from countless ancient texts, was well-versed in the path of cultivation.
“Spiritual storms?” Lin Fan didn’t understand what Hongyun meant, but he quickly inspected his cave heaven. Inside, heaven and earth were in chaos, spiritual energy raging and thunder flashing intensely, resembling countless spiritual snakes weaving through the void—truly terrifying.
“One.”
“Two.”
At this moment, Lin Fan noticed towering storms stretching from earth to sky, swirling violently. But as he tried to count, his mind nearly exploded.
“Hongyun, I can’t even count them anymore. There must be thousands,” Lin Fan began to break out in cold sweat. He felt that his洞天was extremely unstable, on the verge of collapse at any moment. Worse still, an ominous force seemed to be descending, causing him immense dread.
“What?” Hongyun’s face paled, his complexion drained of all color. He asked in disbelief, “Thousands?”
“What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?” Lin Fan asked nervously.
At this point, even Hongyun and the others were stunned, beads of sweat pouring from their brows.
The way they looked at Lin Fan was now filled with terror.
“The Master of Yun Sect had experienced merely 188 spiritual storms when his洞天transformed into Dao. To assist him in surviving the雷劫, our sect lost three top-grade Dao artifacts, each containing spirits at the Fifth Heaven God Realm,” Hongyun explained.
“Huh…” Lin Fan’s face changed, completely stunned.
With Hongyun stating it so plainly, if he still didn’t understand, he might as well die.
“A prodigy, an unparalleled genius. But how did it come to this? Even if you weren’t from our sect, the Master of Yun Sect would have mobilized the entire sect to help you through it. Thousands of spiritual storms—what an unimaginable concept. At a certain level of cultivation, even the Eight Supreme Ancient Clans would be wiped out effortlessly,” Elder Yunhe lamented painfully.
But what could they do now? They had no means to help. Even within the Yun Sect, there would be no way to handle thousands of spiritual storms; the entire sect wouldn’t be enough.
“Lin Fan, take these. The雷劫 is no ordinary trial; these Dao artifacts might help you resist some of the damage,” Hongyun said without hesitation, pulling out all the Dao artifacts obtained from the Water and Fire Tomb.
Elder Yunhe did the same without hesitation.
“Though Dao artifacts are treasures, if you survive this, from now on, the future of all beings across the Great Thousand Realms will depend on you,” Elder Yunhe said.
Lin Fan looked at Hongyun and Elder Yunhe, eventually accepting the artifacts, deeply remembering their kindness.
Lin Fan knew the Ancient Sage Realm was perilous.
But he also knew there were righteous people within it.
Without them, the Ancient Clans would have already annihilated all beings across the Great Thousand Realms.
Boom!
At that moment, the Water and Fire Secret Realm trembled violently, and roars echoed from the distance.
“The Ancient Clan has opened the entrance to the Water and Fire Secret Realm,” Elder Yunhe’s face darkened.
In the current situation, they were truly helpless.
The transformation of洞天 into Dao was already extremely perilous, especially with thousands of spiritual storms—an impossible scenario for any ordinary person.
Since time immemorial, who had ever witnessed such a scene?
And now, with the Ancient Clans attacking, it was truly a dire situation.
Lin Fan’s face turned cold; he could barely hold on any longer.
“Follow me, all of you. Let’s go,” Lin Fan said without hesitation, immediately taking flight toward the distance.
“Go.”
At this moment, the true test began.
Boom!
The crystallized willpower of Lin Fan’s洞天 shattered completely, torrents of energy surging out uncontrollably, then continuously condensing. From the void, an unfathomable power began to descend.
(Note: “洞天” is a term rooted in Chinese Daoist culture, often referring to a mystical or spiritual realm. If this term is meant to be a proper noun or a unique concept within a fictional context, it could be transliterated as “Dongtian” or adapted based on the target audience’s familiarity. Let me know if you’d like it adjusted.)
Here is the translated version with “洞天” transliterated as “Dongtian”:
The crystallized willpower of Lin Fan’s Dongtian shattered completely, torrents of energy surging out uncontrollably, then continuously condensing. From the void, an unfathomable power began to descend.
Dark clouds gathered, lightning flashing.
Boom!
The Thunder Discipline King stepped out from the academy, gazed at the lightning in the Dongtian Void, and sneered coldly.
“Playing with lightning in front of me? Asking for humiliation,” the Thunder Discipline King transformed into a rainbow, charging directly into the void.
Lightning roared like dragons, flashing unpredictably, crashing down from the heavens.
“Ouch, that hurts!” Instantly, the Thunder Discipline King screamed, his entire body wrapped in lightning.
Boom!
Another bolt struck.
The Thunder Discipline King was blasted into a deep crater, smoke rising from his charred body.
“Master, I can’t help you anymore. This lightning is too powerful; I can’t control it at all.”
Round one: Thunder Discipline King defeated.
Witnessing this, Lin Fan was terrified beyond words—this was just too damn terrifying.
If the Thunder Discipline King couldn’t withstand two strikes, how many could Lin Fan himself survive?
