It was a long, narrow canyon with steep, gray-black mountain walls on both sides, like two giant swords stuck in the earth, sandwiching heaven and earth in the middle.
At the entrance to the canyon, the air distorted slightly.
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks.
He stood before the canyon entrance, his gaze calmly sweeping over his surroundings. His Double Pupils brightened slightly, a flash of purplish-gold light passing through their depths.
Then he saw it.
Ancient runes are densely engraved on the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon. These runes are like lit fuses, slowly lighting up and emitting an extremely subtle restrictive aura.
"Buzz!"
The fluctuation was very faint; an ordinary cultivator would not have been able to detect it at all. But Lin Fan's Double Pupils allowed him to see everything clearly.
" The Mysterious Pass Ancient Road..."
He muttered something under his breath, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Interesting."
He didn't stop; instead, he stepped into the canyon. "Since you're so eager to play, then this imperial prince will play with you."
The air in the canyon grew increasingly heavy.
The mountain walls on both sides gradually narrowed, from a hundred feet wide to several tens of feet wide, like a guillotine slowly closing.
"Boom!"
As Lin Fan walked to the center of the canyon, a slight tremor suddenly came from the valley entrance behind him.
A dark golden light curtain rose from the valley entrance, completely blocking any escape route.
Immediately afterwards, the same light screen appeared in front of them.
On both sides of the mountain wall, the ancient runes lit up at the same time, and dense array patterns spread out from the surface of the mountain wall, intertwining like a spider web, covering the entire canyon.
The entire space was sealed off.
"Buzz!"
A terrifying killing intent surged in from all directions.
Lin Fan stopped and stood in the center of the canyon, arms crossed, looking relaxed, like an audience member who had just walked onto a film set.
"Come out, aren't you tired of hiding?"
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it carried clearly throughout the entire canyon.
As soon as the words were spoken, three figures slowly emerged from the void rift.
Tang Fengtian.
Ouyang Bin.
There was also a middle-aged man dressed in a dark gold robe, with a cold face, sharp eyes, and a deep, imposing aura, like a lurking ancient beast.
Elder of the Jin Clan.
The moment he stepped out of the void, the laws of the entire canyon trembled slightly.
The aura of Peak Quasi-Emperor poured out like a tangible force, pressing down on every inch of space in the canyon.
Tang Fengtian stood at the forefront, a cold smile playing on his lips, " Lin Fan, you really did make it this far."
"Of course."
Lin Fan shrugged. "Otherwise, how would I send you on your way?"
Ouyang Bin sneered, "Still being stubborn even when death is imminent? Today is your burial ground. Hand over the Immortal Seed, obediently accept your death, and perhaps you can be spared a complete corpse."
Lin Fan tilted his head, looking at them as if they were three clowns. "You really think you've got me cornered?"
The Jin Clan elder snorted coldly, said nothing more, and directly raised his palm. The laws of the Peak Quasi-Emperor condensed in his palm into a dark golden giant palm, carrying an aura that was enough to crush everything, and pressed down on Lin Fan.
" Zhen'er, I'll take your place today!"
"Boom!"
The palm print blotted out the sky, like an ancient mountain descending from the void, causing the entire canyon to tremble violently.
Lin Fan stood still, watching the palm print fall, without dodging.
A slight smile played on his lips, and three streams of immortal Immortal Qi surged around him.
Chaos Qi surged out of his body like a tsunami, and three streams of Immortal Qi intertwined in the void to form a long, gray-gold river, like an elongated divine spear, indestructible, and crashed into the dark golden giant palm.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided, unleashing a deafening roar.
The entire canyon trembled violently, and the runes on the mountain walls on both sides were shattered by the shockwave, like ice that had been smashed.
The palm print of the Jin Clan lasted less than a breath before the river of Immortal Qi. It began to crack from the center, the cracks spreading like a spider web, before finally shattering with a crash.
The Immortal Qi energy river, its momentum undiminished, crashed straight into the chest of the Jin Clan elder.
puff!
The Jin Clan elder was blasted away, crashing through a mountain wall behind him and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He struggled to his feet, his face filled with disbelief. "You... how could you...?"
Lin Fan didn't give him a chance to speak.
He flipped his hand and took out a dark golden seed from his storage ring.
Immortal Seed.
The seed throbbed slightly in his palm, like a heart awakening.
The dark golden film on its surface flowed with ancient and pure Daoist charm. Three streams of Immortal Qi were simultaneously injected into it, and the surface of the Immortal Seed burst out with a dazzling gray-gold light, like a sun that had been ignited, illuminating the entire canyon as bright as day.
"Let me show you what... your true trump card is!"
Lin Fan raised his hand, and the Immortal Seed floated above his palm. Gray-gold light poured down like a waterfall, carrying the supreme pressure of the Law of the Immortal Dao, like an Immortal King awakening from his slumber, looking down on everyone present.
"Not good!"
Tang Fengtian's expression finally changed completely. He felt a suppression from the very essence of life, like an ant facing a giant elephant.
"This... this is the true power of the Immortal Seed?"
Ouyang Bin was also stunned. He had expected to see Lin Fan crushed, but what he saw instead was the Immortal Seed unleashing a pressure far beyond his imagination.
"Boom!"
The light of the Immortal Seed suddenly spread out, like a blooming immortal lotus, instantly enveloping the entire canyon.
Under the light of the Immortal Seed, the array's patterns shattered like thin ice pierced by a red-hot iron needle, turning into countless fragments of runes.
"No!"
Tang Fengtian turned to escape, but was locked in place by the light of the Immortal Seed.
Lin Fan's voice came from within the celestial light, carrying a nonchalant smile, "Didn't you think you had me cornered? Come on!"
He threw a punch.
True Dragon Fist!
A golden dragon shadow roared out, carrying the full pressure of three streams of Immortal Qi and the enhancement of the Immortal Seed. Like an Ancestral Dragon awakened from ancient times, it crashed into Tang Fengtian and Ouyang Bin at the same time.
"Boom!"
Tang Fengtian and Ouyang Bin were blasted away at the same time, crashing through the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon and embedding themselves in the rocks. Most of their bones were shattered, and they spat out mouthfuls of blood.
"No! Ancestor, save me!!"
The Jin Clan elder struggled to his feet, trying to run. "If you dare kill me, you'll never leave this place alive!"
Lin Fan didn't give him a chance.
He took a step forward, and his figure appeared in front of the Jin Clan elder like a ghost. He spread his five fingers, and the Chaos Qi condensed into a large hand, which pressed down towards the Jin Clan elder's face.
"You..."
The Jin Clan elder's pupils constricted sharply as he desperately urged his Peak Quasi-Emperor laws to resist, but those laws were like fragile glass before the Chaos Qi, shattering inch by inch.
"Bang!"
Lin Fan's palm landed on the chest of the Jin Clan elder.
The Jin Clan elder's body split open from the middle, turning into countless dark golden dust particles that dissipated in the surrounding wind.
