What?! Wang Teng is dead?!
"That's the Wang Clan's prodigy! Chaotic Devil Physique, the number one prodigy of the current generation of the supreme imperial clan, a prodigy rumored to have the potential to attain enlightenment!"
"Who killed him?!"
"Who can kill him? Doesn't he have the inheritance of Great Emperor?"
" The Lin Clan son! He just emerged from seclusion and directly beheaded Wang Teng!"
"It is said that Wang Teng has already entered the Late Sage King Realm and has even refined the Dharma body of Quasi-Emperor..."
"But the Lin Clan son... only used one sword strike!"
"Not only that! He also severed the Dharma Body of a Peak Quasi-Emperor from the Wang Clan!"
"That's a Dharma Body at the Peak Quasi-Emperor! How could a Peak Sage King Realm defy the heavens and defeat Quasi-Emperor? How the hell did he do that?"
Just how strong is he?
"It is said that he cultivated Immortal Qi! A single Immortal Qi shattered Wang Teng's full-force attack!"
" Immortal Qi?! Isn't that something only powerful Immortal Dao can condense?"
The news swept through the entire area in front of the ancient pass like a tsunami. The crowd, who had been whispering among themselves, all looked up and gazed at the distant starry sky.
The Five-Crown King and the Void Physique exchanged a glance, their hearts jolting.
Immortal Qi?
Has the Sage King Realm cultivated Immortal Qi?
What incredible stroke of luck did he receive?
The next moment, everyone's eyes turned to the stone path in front of the ancient pass.
Just then, the sky suddenly changed color.
It wasn't darkness, but rather a grayish-white color that was forcibly torn apart by a chaotic beam of light, spreading all the way from the entrance, carrying with it Chaos Qi so dense it was suffocating.
Amidst the pervasive Chaos Qi, it seemed as if a primordial phenomenon of creation was slowly unfolding.
The mountains and rivers are faintly visible, emerging from chaos and then returning to nothingness, with myriad paths rising and falling, like an evolving universe.
A figure emerged from the chaos.
Clad in white, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, she was enveloped in a faint Chaos Qi.
The Chaos Qi wasn't dense, but it resembled a primordial scene of creation, slowly flowing around him, as if he himself constituted a world of his own.
He didn't walk fast, but with each step he took, the entire starry sky trembled slightly, as if even heaven and earth were making way for him.
All the cultivators, including the Forbidden Lord of the Deadlands and the Five-Crown King, had their eyes fixed on him.
" The Lin Clan son! Lin Fan has arrived!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, their voice trembling slightly. "Is this the legendary ruthless person who defied the heavens and defeated Quasi-Emperor?"
So strong!
A descendant of an ancient lineage at the Sage King Realm turned deathly pale and involuntarily took half a step back. "I feel like a quasi -Quasi-Emperor has descended..."
"No, it's even more terrifying than Quasi-Emperor! That aura is suffocating me!"
" Peak Sage King Realm... How could someone possess such terrifying pressure? This is clearly the aura of Great Emperor!"
"What do you know! That's Immortal Qi!?"
"He condensed Immortal Qi! That's a realm that even Quasi-Emperor might not be able to touch!"
" Immortal Qi? How could he possibly..."
"This... this aura is probably unmatched among his peers across the Three Thousand Provinces!"
Someone's voice trembled, as if stating an impossible fact.
The Five-Crown King narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Lin Fan, remained silent for a moment, then looked at himself, as if reassessing something.
This Daoist charm...
Could it be that he has truly cultivated Immortal Qi?
The gaze of the Forbidden Lord of the Deadlands also fell upon Lin Fan, and a ripple appeared deep within his empty pupils.
This is something they've been pursuing for countless years!
When the figure in white reached the ancient pass, the crowd automatically parted to the sides, making way for a wide passage.
No one dared to stand in his way.
A flicker of emotion finally appeared in the usually calm eyes of the Five-Crown King, not out of fear, but out of excitement at facing stronger opponents.
"You've come."
Lin Fan nodded, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings, his tone casual and lazy. "Yeah, just finished dealing with a clueless jerk, took a little time, looks like I'm not too late."
The Five-Crown King said, "It seems you've encountered quite a stroke of luck!"
Lin Fan nodded. "Yeah, that ancient road is nice, it's a pity we can't take it with us."
Five-Crown King: "..."
The Five-Crown King remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at the slowly flowing power of time deep within the ancient pass. "The ultimate battle is about to begin."
"This will be the greatest decisive battle of this era on the Mythical Ancient Road."
"Everyone who reaches the gate will participate in it."
" Lin Fan, don't let your guard down."
"There are far more powerful figures than you can imagine watching this place from across the Emperor Pass."
Lin Fan smiled.
He looked at the majestic ancient pass, his gaze passing through the ancient array patterns and landing on a certain area deep within the pass, shrouded in the ravages of time.
A powerhouse far beyond imagination?
Lin Fan said, "Perfect timing, I've been looking for an opponent lately."
The Five-Crown King remained silent for two breaths before speaking, "In the struggle for the Emperor's Road, I will not back down an inch."
Six people who emerge victorious from the final battle are qualified to receive guidance, and the strongest among them are qualified to comprehend the legendary Immortal Stele!
He waited through countless eras for this very opportunity!
He cultivated the legendary Immortal Qi at the Sage King Realm!
Lin Fan looked at him and smiled, "What a coincidence, I wasn't planning on giving it to him either."
The two locked eyes for a moment.
There seemed to be invisible sharpness gently colliding in the air, causing the laws of nature to fluctuate slightly, but it quickly returned to calm.
In the distance, someone muttered, "This is only the first level... Are the two young supreme beings going to fight here?"
"Not necessarily, the ancient pass hasn't opened yet."
"Just wait and see, in this ultimate battle... there will likely be bloodshed."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
The ancient gate was entirely dark gold, and the chaotic light coming through the cracks in the door was gradually brightening, like a sleeping giant beast slowly breathing.
A system notification sounded in my ear: [Ding! The Ultimate Ancient Pass is about to open. Six people will be qualified to be guided in this ultimate battle, and the final winner will be qualified to comprehend the legendary [ Immortal Stele ]!]
[System Task Issued: As an invincible villain, the host must seize the qualification to comprehend the Immortal Stele! Sweep away your peers and become the strongest in the ultimate battle!]
[Quest Completion Rewards: Immortal Stele Enlightenment Rights, Abundant Villain Points, Hidden Reward x1!]
Lin Fan's lips curled slightly.
Immortal Stele?
His gaze lingered on the depths of the ancient gate's crack, where a wisp of chaotic light cast a blurry reflection deep within his pupils.
"Interesting... The Immortal Stele, I'd like to see just how immortal it is."
His tone was nonchalant, as if what was about to happen was not an ultimate battle that might determine the course of an era, but a grand barbecue party.
The next moment, the entire ancient pass trembled violently.
