Chapter 541: The Human Emperor

For those beings of the Great Thousand Races who had suffered endlessly, Lin Fan’s heroic figure was forever etched into their souls. No matter how much time passed, they would never forget that towering presence.

Yet for the disciples of the Six Great Sects, that figure left them utterly perplexed.

Could this be the human who had beheaded the Four Legion Commanders and annihilated a million ancient clans?

But how could that possibly be true…

Lin Fan took a single step forward, crossing vast distances in an instant, appearing above.

His robe fluttered gently in the breeze, his long black hair flowing, his expression calm and aloof, gazing down with a commanding presence at the ancient clans, his brows slightly raised in mild confusion.

“All ancient clans were slain by me. How is there still some left?” Lin Fan spoke calmly before the countless spectators.

His tone was indifferent, as if slightly annoyed by a few ants daring to appear again.

The disciples of the Six Great Sects had already learned from the Great Thousand Races that a single human had slaughtered a million ancient clans, but deep down, they still harbored doubts.

But now, hearing these words directly from the human’s mouth…

The expressions of the Six Great Sects’ disciples changed dramatically—disbelief, shock, astonishment, and gaping mouths.

“Great human, save us!”

“O mighty human, rescue us from this sea of suffering!”

At that moment, the beings of the Great Thousand Races prostrated themselves beneath Lin Fan’s brilliance.

In a world where strength commands respect, their hearts desperately needed a powerful leader to guide them out of hardship and into the light.

And this human before them was exactly what they had imagined.

Xie Sheng looked up at Lin Fan, shocked that the words spoken that day—once thought to be mere boasting—had actually come true. One person alone had destroyed a million ancient clans. What kind of power was required to accomplish such a feat?

Zhu Long and the other elders exchanged glances, all of them unable to believe their eyes, yet now they had no choice but to accept the truth, for just moments ago, that overwhelming aura had indeed emanated from this human.

“Who are you?” Gu Xiao glared at Lin Fan floating in midair, his brow furrowing with displeasure, feeling that this fellow was being far too disrespectful.

Especially the calm, dismissive attitude toward him, which enraged Gu Xiao even further.

Never before had any of the Great Thousand Races dared to act so brazenly in his presence.

Lin Fan looked at Gu Xiao, his heart slightly tightening.

“Half-step Divine Heaven Realm.”

In Lin Fan’s eyes, that was no small feat, but still, it was a pity.

“Half-step Divine Heaven Realm, and still unable to fully break through the realm in one go.” Lin Fan’s face was filled with disdain, unaware of the immense impact these words had on everyone present.

The Six Great Sects knew the strength of the ancient clans, but they never expected this ancient clan member to be at the Half-step Divine Heaven Realm. Though only half a step, it still meant one foot had already crossed into that near-divine realm.

Yet this human spoke of it with such contempt. Just how powerful was he?

“Insolent!” Gu Xiao roared in anger. “Seize this human! I want to see what abilities he truly possesses!”

“Yes, Master!” The eight guards behind Gu Xiao nodded, instantly unleashing a fierce and ferocious aura.

“Be careful!”

The elders like Zhu Long warned him. These eight ancient clans were extremely powerful, nearly equal to themselves. Moreover, the ancient clans were innately strong, and among the Great Thousand Races, few could rival them at the same cultivation level.

But the moment they spoke those words, they deeply regretted it.

Because the next moment left them utterly stunned.

Lin Fan looked at these eight ancient clan members, all at the peak of the Huang Tian Realm.

If it were before, he might have had to use some tricks.

But now, it was unnecessary.

He had consumed countless pills, skyrocketing two levels, his cultivation directly reaching the mid-stage of the Huang Tian Realm.

Despair City had existed for a thousand years, and Despair Marquis, in his quest to fill his inner emptiness, had accumulated countless pills.

To ordinary cultivators, these pills were supreme treasures, requiring careful absorption even after consumption. But for Lin Fan, they were simply experience.

He swallowed them all at once, the system refined them, and an endless stream of experience surged into his body, breaking through his cultivation barriers and advancing two levels at once.

Tell me, are you scared yet?

“Fools beyond redemption.” Lin Fan snorted coldly, his five fingers forming a claw, tearing through the void. A mighty force erupted suddenly.

The power continuously condensed, and a colossal hand descended from the heavens, blocking out the sky and sun, carrying boundless destructive force, reaching toward the eight ancient clans.

“How could this be!” At this moment, the eight ancient clans’ faces changed, their eyes filled with terror.

In their eyes, this human, previously no different from an ant, had suddenly become so towering. The might of that single claw sealed off all space around them, leaving no escape, no room for evasion.

“Master, save us…”

Crack!

The colossal heavenly hand directly seized the eight ancient clans, and with a single squeeze.

In the blink of an eye, the eight ancient clans didn’t even have the slightest chance to resist before being crushed into nothingness, their black blood splattering across the sky and earth.

“Ding! Congratulations on slaying an ancient clan member at the peak of the Huang Tian Realm.”

“Ding! Congratulations on gaining 50,000 experience points.”

Eight system notifications echoed in Lin Fan’s mind.

In the blink of an eye, four hundred thousand experience points were his. In Lin Fan’s eyes, aside from consuming pills, there was no faster way to gain experience than slaughtering ancient clans.

Lin Fan never showed mercy to the ancient clans. Whenever he encountered them, he killed them all, turning them into experience.

And now, with countless eyes watching him, Lin Fan naturally wanted to make a grand display, demonstrating absolute strength to crush everything, ensuring that the beings of the Great Thousand Races would forever remember his name.

“Hmph, mere peak of the Huang Tian Realm, daring to act so brazenly before this Sovereign.” Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, exuding an overwhelming aura as he stared directly at Gu Xiao. “Your turn now.”

At this moment, everyone from the Six Great Sects was left speechless, their eyes wide open, nearly popping out of their sockets.

The peak of the Huang Tian Realm, defeated in a single strike. How terrifying was this?

Those eight ancient clans were invincible figures in the eyes of the Six Great Sects. Even elders like Zhu Long couldn’t claim to be their equals.

If they were at their peak, perhaps by ganging up on them, they could slay these eight ancient clans at the peak of the Huang Tian Realm, but the cost would be devastating.

The beings of the Great Thousand Races stood there, mouths agape, nearly wide enough to swallow an egg, staring in excitement at Lin Fan floating in the sky.

“I, Lin Fan, the Human Emperor, shall slay all ancient clans today. Do you have any objections?” Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm as he faced Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao’s expression darkened, and he had no words to say.

But for the beings of the Great Thousand Races, this moment ignited an eruption of joy.

“Long live the Human Emperor!”

“We beg the Human Emperor for protection!”

“I, Hongyun of the Ghost Race, shall follow the Human Emperor’s lead.”

“We too shall follow the Human Emperor’s lead.”

At this moment, the beings of the Great Thousand Races wished to embrace this mighty power, surrendering themselves eternally at Lin Fan’s feet.
