The Emperor Pass looks close, but it's actually very far away.
An endless void lies between them, like a deep abyss stretching between heaven and earth, completely isolating the Three Thousand Provinces from the Emperor Pass.
The fairy ship has long since sailed away, leaving behind only a desolate wasteland shrouded in a gray sky.
The moment Lin Fan stepped onto the wasteland, he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly.
It wasn't an earthquake, but a more subtle fluctuation, as if the very laws of the No Man's Land were trembling slightly under some invisible pressure.
His Double Pupils swept across the surroundings. A very faint grayish-white mist permeated the wasteland, interspersed with tiny fragments of laws, like shards of glass that had been repeatedly crushed, making a crunching sound when stepped on.
"It will take at least half a month to walk from here to the Emperor Pass city gate."
The Five-Crown King stood not far away, his voice calm. " The No Man's Land is the first barrier. Throughout history, many prodigies have had the opportunity to enter the Emperor Pass, but they have all perished here."
"Many people have also found opportunities in No Man's Land and soared to great heights."
He paused, his gaze fixed on the towering city wall that was slowly expanding in the distance. "It depends on your own fate."
Lin Fan grinned. "I, the Imperial Prince, have never lacked good fortune."
The Five-Crown King glanced at him. "That's good then."
He took a step and walked in one direction. After a few steps, he stopped and turned his head. "Be careful of Tang Fengtian and Ouyang Bin. Those two look at you like you're prey."
"I know."
Lin Fan waved his hand. "Don't worry, I've never seen a hunter who can hunt me in my entire life."
The Five-Crown King said no more and disappeared into the gray mist.
The Forbidden Lord of the Deadlands also left, and the Longevity Physique, Ye Tian, and the others each chose their own direction.
Only Lin Fan remained standing there, gazing in the direction of the Emperor Pass, a playful smile on his lips.
Behind him, Tang Fengtian's gaze was like a venomous snake, silently clinging to his back.
Lin Fan did not turn around.
But out of the corner of his Double Pupils had already taken in Tang Fengtian's every move. "Interesting."
He muttered something under his breath, then strode off toward the Emperor Pass.
Lin Fan knew that the two of them were after the Immortal Seed within him!
But he was fearless; with all his trump cards combined, even an immortal might not be able to kill him!
at the same time.
On the edge of the wasteland, on a celestial ship moored in the shadows, an elder of the Jin Clan crushed a jade pendant.
The moment the jade pendant shattered, a faint, dark golden light emanated from it, like a transparent snake, burrowing into the void and disappearing into the world.
" The Lin Clan son... Ha, the imperial son of Three Thousand Provinces, is he even worthy of entering the Emperor Pass?"
He stared at Lin Fan's departing figure with icy eyes, as if looking at a lifeless corpse.
He muttered something to himself, turned around, and disappeared at the bow of the ship.
Anyone who dares to kill members of the Jin Clan must pay the price!
In the No Man's Land, Lin Fan traveled alone.
He walked at a moderate pace, like a tiger roaming the mountains and forests, each step exuding a calm and domineering aura.
The wasteland beneath my feet is gradually hardening!
The soft, gray soil transformed into a black slab resembling basalt, its surface covered with fine cracks, as if it had been repeatedly crushed by something.
"Buzz!"
A spatial rift appeared without warning three steps in front of him.
The crack was only half a foot wide, yet it exuded a chilling aura, with fine fragments of laws churning at its edges, like a torn mouth.
Lin Fan kept walking.
He didn't even glance at it twice, but casually raised his right hand, and a chaotic sword light burst from his fingertips, cleaving the spatial rift in the middle.
"Boom!"
The crack shattered into countless black fragments, which exploded in the air and dissipated.
That's it?
He smacked his lips and continued walking.
After walking for about half an hour, a grayish-white foggy area appeared ahead.
Within the fog, some distorted outlines could be vaguely seen moving slowly, like reflections in water shattered by the wind.
They are like a group of remnants of spirits trapped in the passage of time, wandering aimlessly.
Dark Remnant Spirit.
Lin Fan's Double Pupils swept across, revealing the true nature of those outlines.
They are not made of flesh and blood, but remnant souls formed from Dark Matter and resentment, like fragments left behind on the battlefield, devoid of consciousness, left only with instinctive killing intent. Each one is comparable to the Sage King Realm cultivator, and there are even Quasi-Emperor level Dark Remnant Spirit.
"Whoosh!"
A Dark Remnant Spirit suddenly burst out of the mist. It was completely black, had no facial features, only a gaping mouth, like an elongated human face. It stretched out a hand formed from black mist and reached for Lin Fan's neck.
"Buzz!"
Lin Fan didn't even stop walking.
The Chaos Qi around him flowed automatically, like an invisible barrier. When the hand of the Dark Remnant Spirit struck the barrier, it was as if it had hit an unshakeable mountain wall, shattering instantly into a sky full of black mist.
"This is the kind of person who dares to block the road?"
Lin Fan shook his head, his Double Pupils suddenly brightening.
A beam of purplish-gold light shot out from the depths of his pupils, like two invisible blades, sweeping across the gray-white misty area.
"Boom!"
The Dark Remnant Spirit in the fog zone exploded like burning paper, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated in the wind.
"Clean up, let's continue our journey."
Lin Fan patted off non-existent dust from his robes, his pace remaining unhurried.
The dangers of the No Man's Land were almost negligible to him.
In the following days, he encountered a series of dangers.
There is a bizarre swamp that seems to be alive, where countless arms made of mud will suddenly extend from the surface, trying to drag passersby into the depths.
Lin Fan stepped on it, and the Chaos Qi automatically crushed his arm, barely even splashing any water.
There are clusters of spatial rifts lurking in the void, densely packed like a spider web; a moment's carelessness could turn you into a bloody mist.
Lin Fanfan's Double Pupils predicted the location of each crack in advance, and she walked with ease, as if strolling in her own backyard.
There were also a few wandering Dark Remnant Spirit, enormous in size, with an aura comparable to Peak Quasi-Emperor. Lin Fan was too lazy to get entangled with them, so he directly threw a punch. The Hunyuan Fist, carrying the full pressure of three streams of immortal Immortal Qi, blasted those remnants and the area where they lived into dust.
"This No Man's Land isn't as terrifying as the rumors say."
Lin Fan clenched his fist, cracked his wrists, and spoke with a hint of disappointment.
Tang Fengtian had been following him for three days.
He didn't approach or make a move; he simply hung at a distance behind Lin Fan, like a shadow hidden in the dark.
Lin Fan knew he was talking to...
But he didn't say it out loud.
He even stopped at a fork in the road, took out a piece of roasted dragon meat from his storage ring, sat on a black rock, and started gnawing on it, his mouth dripping with oil, thoroughly enjoying himself.
While munching, he muttered, "Mmm, Long Aotian's meat is still the best. I wonder if there are any new varieties in Emperor Pass. If I could roast a True Dragon, the taste would be absolutely amazing."
Tang Fengtian watched from afar, his lips twitching slightly.
Is this guy even human? Stopping to eat barbecue in this treacherous No Man's Land?
Lin Fan finished his meat, let out a satisfied burp, stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Now that we're full, let's continue our journey."
The moment he took his first step.
Suddenly, a completely different area appeared ahead.
The Mysterious Pass Ancient Road!
