Chapter 467: Immortal World, Divine Realm? Behold, Visitors from the Divine Realm! (Part 1)
2024-11-02
To rely solely on physical strength and slay a Thirteenth Stage Sword Cultivator?
That was a fool's dream.
Even if Lin Fan could share the physical strength of other disciples, and even if he was physically stronger than Chen Bei, it still wouldn't be enough.
That's why he released all his disciples.
Time to team up!
Chen Bei would temporarily serve as the meat shield.
Long Ao Jiao could fight freely.
As for himself...
"Master!"
The Reversal Array had already been activated.
Xiao Ling'er and the others each took up a position in the array, catching up to Lin Fan.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan merged into the array, taking the main position.
Boom, boom, boom...
Pillars of light shot into the sky, converging within Lin Fan's body, further enhancing his combat power.
At the same time...
He discreetly began his monkey business!
He performed the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations right in front of Xiao Ling'er, and what's more, he did it without any attempt to conceal it... That was a bit hard to explain.
Using the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations was fine, but the fact that he used the same exotic fire as Xiao Ling'er made it even harder to justify.
So, he kept a low profile.
When he performed the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations, no one could tell what exotic fire he was using.
As for the rest, there was no need to be so cautious.
The Supreme Me Alone Technique!
He consecutively activated the Kirin Method, the Nine Secrets, and more.
With various secret techniques enhancing his power, his combat strength surged by a whole level!
"Huff..."
Lin Fan exhaled, and then, a slight curve formed at the corners of his mouth.
"Now!"
Slash!
A sword tore through the air!
Even the stable space of the Immortal World was slightly torn by Lin Fan's sword.
The sword light flickered, dazzling and astonishing.
"Lower your brows!"
Immortal-Cutting Nine Swords, Sword Nine - Lower Your Brows!
During this month, Lin Fan not only taught Chen Bei but also constantly sought ways to enhance his own combat power.
Completing the incomplete Immortal-Cutting Nine Swords was one of his goals.
With his heaven-defying comprehension, although he couldn't perfect the Immortal-Cutting Nine Swords in just one month, he still made it significantly stronger than the commonly circulated version.
With this sword, Lower Your Brows, he slashed...
He was even fortunate enough to trigger the 'Tenfold Critical Strike' of the 'Jie' Secret!
His attack power surged tenfold instantly!
"???"
The old woman, who was frantically pursuing Chen Bei, suddenly realized that no matter how many times she tried to kill him, he wouldn't die.
"This is impossible!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
How could she feel the threat of death from a single sword strike?
She couldn't believe it!
But she had to accept it, at least she couldn't ignore her instincts, nor could she ignore that sword strike.
"Break!"
She roared, and her power surged to its peak, even using secret techniques to forcefully enhance her strength, making her even more formidable.
"Thunderbolt Slaying Deity!"
The two faced off!
One slaying immortals, the other slaying deities.
A clash of swords!
Both swords were incredibly powerful.
Aside from Lin Fan and Chen Bei, anyone else present would have been unable to withstand the attack head-on.
This sword strike left everyone breathless.
In that moment, they all witnessed two astonishing phenomena!
Above Lin Fan, it seemed as if a white-robed Sword Immortal had raised his hand and slashed with a sword.
Opposite him, a million Sword Immortals lowered their brows, not daring to meet his gaze.
On the other side...
A brilliant thunderbolt flashed.
It was as if the Thunder God had descended, slaying deities and immortals.
Boom, boom, boom!
The two sword techniques clashed violently, the blinding light forcing everyone to close their eyes.
Then, deafening roars echoed through the air.
When everything subsided...
Lin Fan led the charge, with his team in a 'Single File Snake Formation'.
"What's this?!"
Long Ao Jiao's eyes widened, and her pupils contracted.
The old woman was still alive!
But she was severely injured. The previous sword strike had almost killed her. Even though she fought back, the sword had sliced her from her left shoulder to her right abdomen, nearly splitting her in half!
Sword intent swirled around the wound, 'wandering' frantically, preventing it from healing.
It even continued to stimulate her, worsening her injuries.
"Ahhhh!"
She roared in pain, seeing Lin Fan and the others attacking again. Her face was filled with disbelief and anger.
"You won't get away!"
Gritting her teeth, she raised her sword and forced her body to stabilize, charging forward once more.
But Long Ao Jiao seized the opportunity, using her Divine Godly Halberd to slash at the wound!
The already heavily injured body, now barely held together, was instantly split in two...
Her intestines spilled out, making her look like a 'Voodoo Doll' without a lower body, an extremely frightening sight.
"You deserve to die too!"
Her eyes turned crimson as she turned towards Long Ao Jiao, intending to slash her.
"Five Fingers Break Divine Demon!"
Long Ao Jiao wasn't about to give her a chance, quickly dodging with a big flash.
Lin Fan's side continued their relentless assault.
Fast!
Too fast!
In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged hundreds of blows.
But Lin Fan was in his strongest state, and the old woman was already injured, how could she possibly be a match for him?
She had planned to escape with her lower body, but suddenly, she noticed a despicable fellow using some kind of furnace, burning her lower body with Samadhi True Fire.
"???"
The old woman was stunned!
Damn!
Even if she could extinguish the sword intent that was like a bone-deep abscess, regenerating her limbs would still be troublesome.
Regenerating her entire lower body, half an arm, and half her chest and abdomen...
After regeneration, making them as strong as they are now would be a hassle, right?
I was even prepared to run with my lower body, but...
You're burning it?
"How dare you!"
She was enraged, and despite enduring two of Lin Fan's sword attacks, she was determined to fight back...
Boom!
With a single palm strike, she blasted that despicable bastard, but it was already too late. Half of her body had been burned to ashes!
In her fury, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Take advantage of his illness and take his life!"
Lin Fan shouted.
"Attack together!"
Boom!
Everyone unleashed their power simultaneously.
"Destruction Fire Lotus!"
"Cut Me Enlightenment Manual!"
"Transformation Freedom Law!"
"Antimatter Sword!"
"Eat My Fishing Hook!"
"Ten Extremes Breaking Void Finger..."
"..."
Everyone activated their ultimate abilities at that moment, and with Lin Fan leading the assault...
The old woman's face turned desperate.
"You..."
"Don't even think about getting away!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
She roared, summoning all her strength and using every means at her disposal.
But in the end, she couldn't hold them back...
Boom!!!
The area became a gruesome sight.
When everything calmed down...
"Pfft."
Lin Fan coughed up another mouthful of blood.
He was injured too! After all, he was a 13th Stage expert.
Even with all his abilities, it was difficult to defeat the opponent without a scratch.
It seemed like a significant advantage.
In reality, though, they had truly given it their all.
If they couldn't defeat her after some more time, the defeat would be theirs.
"..."
"Hmph, a mere 13th Stage, just a chicken or a dog."
Long Ao Jiao folded her arms and turned her back to them, pretending again.
Unfortunately...
Lin Fan and Xiao Ling'er, who were already familiar with her personality, completely ignored her.
Only Chen Bei showed interest, staring at her curiously.
Someone was watching?
Long Ao Jiao suddenly became interested and continued her act.
Xiao Ling'er and the others quickly gathered together, while Lin Fan assigned them tasks and explained the conflict between the Sword Aura Great Wall and the Foreign Realm.
Gou Sheng was busy.
Several straw men were running around, setting up arrays...
They were afraid of being discovered!
...
Xiao Ling'er sighed, "The Sword Aura Great Wall is such a place."
Wang Teng scratched his head, "Sword Immortal, Sword Devil... Sigh, it's hard to judge."
"Judging by actions, not intentions, there are merits and faults." Ya Ya spoke softly, "Indeed, it's hard to judge, but it's not our place to do so."
"Or perhaps..."
"Among the Sword Devils, there are good and bad, right?"
They all chimed in.
Lin Fan immediately said, "In any case, this is the current situation. Chen Bei is also special; he has amnesia."
"You guys take care of him first and don't let him return to the Divine Tomb world. Talk to him more and teach him some things."
"What about cultivation?" Xu Fenglai interjected, "I think our junior brother's physical body is incredible."
"Even better than Qin Shixiong's physical body."
"Regarding cultivation, do we need to guide him?"
"Let him cultivate his physical body on his own. As for other aspects, let him choose."
Lin Fan was certain that even in his amnesiac state, Chen Bei had a 'gut feeling'.
He would know how to cultivate and which path to take; the decision was his to make.
It was best to let him choose for himself.
After speaking, Lin Fan looked into the distance, "Long Ao Jiao."
"Stop showing off and come over quickly. This place isn't too far from the Sword Aura Great Wall, and with another 13th Stage cultivator from the Foreign Realm slain, someone might come soon."
"After this battle, it's clear that even with our full strength, we can only kill mid-stage 13th Stage cultivators at most. For late-stage cultivators... defeating them is difficult."
"For peak or 14th Stage cultivators, we don't even have a chance of survival."
"Therefore, you must enter the secret realm first and avoid exposure. San Ye and I will figure out a way and gradually find an opportunity to leave the Sword Aura Great Wall."
"When the time comes, I'll release you."
"..."
"Hmph!"
Long Ao Jiao let out a humph.
She wanted to continue showing off...
But in the Immortal World, at this moment, she couldn't maintain her act.
She had to endure and become stronger first.
Thinking of this, she huffed, "I'm about to suffocate; do you want me to go in?"
"Fine, I'll give you this face."
"Just make sure it's quick!"
"Otherwise, when I come out, you'll see how I deal with you."
Lin Fan: "..."
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes, "Stop wasting time and get in there."
"Chen Bei, apart from Ji Chitong and Long Ao Jiao, everyone else is your senior brother and senior sister. They will take care of you."
"When we leave this place, they will also help you figure things out. Remember to listen to them!"
"Yes, Master."
Chen Bei didn't understand much at the moment, but he could sense that Lin Fan was genuinely considering his well-being, so he was very obedient.
...
After a brief break, Xiao Ling'er and her group re-entered the main Immortal Slaying Secret Realm.
The once bustling area quickly became quiet again, leaving only Lin Fan and San Ye.
"Let's go back."
Just as Lin Fan opened his mouth, a powerful divine soul force swept through the area.
"Two 10th Stage fellows killed a 13th Stage Foreign Realm Sword Cultivator?"
"Interesting, very interesting. Today, you deserve a reward!"
"Just don't die too soon..."
"..."
The divine soul fluctuation came and went quickly.
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Good thing we acted fast."
"..."
In truth, neither Lin Fan nor San Ye knew what the bigwigs of the Sword Aura Great Wall were thinking or feeling.
They could talk about Xiao Ling'er and the others, but Lin Fan didn't dare gamble.
Especially now that the Sword Devil was in charge of the Sword Aura Great Wall, he dared not take any risks.
Beware, caution is advised!
"If I can't defeat a Fourteenth Stage cultivator, then I won't be able to leave the Sword Aura Great Wall by killing one."
Lin Fan frowned slightly, "It seems like we'll have to think of another way."
He stroked his chin, "Speaking of which, how are these 'heads' counted?"
"Can we just pick up heads?"
"If picking up heads counts, then perhaps we can try that."
Although this approach might easily make one despised, or even provoke direct conflict, but, cough cough...
Right?
After all, Lin Fan still had many things to do, at least for now, he really couldn't afford to spend too much time at the Sword Aura Great Wall.
There were still... too many things to do.
Not to mention, every main character, even supporting characters, had their own stories. Who didn't have their own journey? Even Huo Ling'er...
And there was also the plot where she was captured along with the Sin State.
Although with him present, this plot was unlikely to unfold.
But they all had their own storylines, their own paths to tread.
These paths couldn't be 'skipped'.
If they were, how would they become stronger, how would they grow? Like Shi Hao...
If calculated according to the perfect storyline, his growth rate would truly skyrocket.
The Shi Family's Three Supremes, Sin Blood Ascend to Clouds, sweeping away all enemies, the great battle with Xiao Liuzi, and even the act of becoming a vessel for the next generation...
What's the point of spending countless years in a small world? Therefore, he couldn't afford to waste time, truly!
San Ye replied, "Pick up heads?"
"It means that when other people severely injure a Fourteenth Stage foreign cultivator, I deliver the killing blow, or when a Fourteenth Stage foreign cultivator is severely injured and tries to escape, I sneak attack and kill them."
"Whose merit would this count for?"
"Naturally, the former." San Ye was a bit surprised.
Master...
What kind of idea is this?
How could he steal someone's kill?
"Then there's no other way."
Lin Fan sighed lightly, "Let's not rush back to battle. Let's recover first and then see how things develop."
"Yes, Master."
San Ye had no objections to this.
...
In the distant Divine Realm.
In a grand and luxurious palace, a young man in battle attire strode forward.
"Your Highness."
He knelt on one knee, his expression filled with utmost respect.
On the throne, a lofty figure leaned against it, looking down with a calm gaze.
"The aura of the Life Deity King has appeared."
The being on the throne spoke lightly.
"What?!"
Below, the young man kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, "Where? Your Highness, I..."
"What should I do?"
"Immortal World, a fleeting existence."
With a wave of the Highness's hand, streams of light entered the young man's forehead.
"It's actually at..."
The young man's eyes flickered slightly, "The Sword Aura Great Wall?"
"Bring her back."
The Highness spoke calmly, "You know what to do."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The young man stood up, bowed respectfully, and then exited the grand hall.
After walking a long distance, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"What a pity."
"Even if you give your all, even if you risk your life for freedom, but in the end..."
"Sigh."
He shook his head again, his expression returning to calm, and then walked towards an ancient altar.
However, this altar was quite unique.
Unlike the typical altars, it was more intricate and complex.
"The Immortal World?"
"What a pity."
"With my current abilities, I can only send down a spirit body."
"But it's enough."
"But that place, the Sword Aura Great Wall..."
He shook his head again.
Then, his figure blurred and split into two.
The newly formed spirit body stepped out, entering the altar.
The altar lit up, radiating divine brilliance.
A pillar of light connected heaven and earth, as if piercing through ancient times, reaching eternity! Then, the spirit body disappeared.
The ancient altar returned to tranquility.
He remained calm, like a still well.
...
Several days passed.
Lin Fan and San Ye fully recovered from their injuries.
San Ye wanted to continue fighting, and Lin Fan didn't stop her. He even joined the battle, but during this time, he didn't use his full strength, always holding back.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to give his all.
But in this grand battle, even if he sacrificed himself, it wouldn't change the outcome.
Moreover, he represented not just himself but an entire sect.
So, he couldn't take unnecessary risks.
When caution was required, he would be cautious.
Lin Fan even considered throwing away the Divine Tomb!
Because this was different from the 'original story'!
In the original story, the Divine Tomb wasn't just a stone, and it wouldn't be carried around.
So, Lin Fan didn't know how the Divine Tomb would develop in the future. Would it be ignored, or would someone be searching for it?
If it was the latter...
Oh boy.
If they found out and came knocking, that would be a big trouble.
But what if Chen Bei needed it in the future...
If he threw it away now and someone took it, then he'd have to find a way to retrieve it later, which was also a headache!
"But speaking of which..."
Lin Fan stroked his chin, "If the World Heart can do it, then this Divine Tomb should be able to as well."
"And it doesn't necessarily have to be given to someone."
"For example, when no one is paying attention, I can just pick a random brick within the Sword Aura Great Wall and hide it inside. Normally, no one would discover it."
"As long as no one discovers it..."
"In the future, when my strength is sufficient, retrieving it won't be difficult."
"Of course, there's also the possibility of the Sword Aura Great Wall being directly breached. In that case, it would be hard to find, but I can also wait until I leave the Sword Aura Great Wall and hide it in a relatively safe place."
"I can also ask Gou Sheng to erase all traces and auras, so that even if there are future troubles related to the Divine Tomb, they most likely won't trace it back to me.
"However, leaving the Sword Aura Great Wall in a short time..."
As Lin Fan entertained the thought of slacking off and engaging in combat with foreign realm Sword Cultivators, his mind wandered with a myriad of ideas.
These days, he had been racking his brains, contemplating various matters.
According to the rules of the Sword Aura Great Wall, it was impossible to leave in a short time.
But if the Sword Aura were to take a different path, and some big shots came to fetch someone, what then?
What about the big shots of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land?
No, they definitely wouldn't do.
Even if they were willing to help, their strength might not be sufficient.
