"Spirit Sea Realm?"
"A Spirit Sea Realm cultivator dares fight for the Chaos Origin? Does he have a death wish?!"
Most cultivators had backed off after hearing Wang Kunlong's warning, but now that they saw a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator seize it, the surrounding cultivators began stirring again.
This brat had some nerve. He was snatching food from a tiger's jaws.
Still, getting it did not mean he could hold on to it.
But having witnessed Wang Kunlong kill two Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, only a handful of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators dared covet the Chaos Origin. None of the others dared.
They could not help sneering. The mere aftershocks of a Purple Mansion Realm battle would be enough to kill a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator.
Die!
Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci sneered as enormous hands of profound Qi reached for the man, ripples surging in every direction. Crushing this brat to death would take no more effort than blowing away dust.
Boom!
Yet, to everyone's horror...
Facing the combined assault of two prodigies, with ripples sweeping through heaven and earth and power sufficient to instantly kill an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator, this Spirit Sea Realm cultivator merely threw a punch.
Boom!
He doesn't know his own limits.
That was what the cultivators thought. They shook their heads and snickered, as though already seeing this brat flattened into bloody pulp.
There was no doubt about it. After all, everyone had just watched Wang Kunlong instantly kill a Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivator and slay Purple Mansion Realm cultivators. Killing someone in the Spirit Sea Realm would take no more than a flick of his finger!
Is he dead?
Huh?
But the next moment, everyone's smiles froze on their faces. Their eyes widened as though they had seen something unbelievable.
The fist collided with the two claws. Heaven and earth thundered, and storms swept up all around, yet the figure before them remained completely unmoved. With his Spirit Sea Realm cultivation, he had withstood a strike from both prodigies.
He was still alive!
The cultivators were utterly shocked.
This brat is no ordinary person! He actually withstood a Purple Mansion Realm strike while in the Spirit Sea Realm!
No!
What the cultivators found even harder to believe was that not only had this brat withstood the attack, he had single-handedly forced both prodigies, Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci, several steps back.
What kind of joke is this?
Or did this brat take some potent drug?
Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci were both Early Purple Mansion Realm prodigies. Together, they could kill a Middle Purple Mansion Realm expert!
Yet now they could not even kill a lowly Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. Who would believe it?
This was absurdity's mother opening the door for absurdity-absurdity had truly come home!
Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci steadied themselves, both staring darkly at the figure within the storm. "Who are you? You dare steal from our imperial clans? Do you want to die? Hand over the Chaos Origin at once, and we can spare your life!"
Although neither had used his full strength, they were outstanding even among their peers. They had always been the ones instantly killing others at the same realm and fighting those above their level. Since when did anyone else get to cross realms against them?
Today, they had utterly disgraced themselves!
The cultivators strained their eyes, eager to see just who this brat was!
The figure within the storm gradually became clear, revealing a spotless figure as a voice rang out. "Which imperial clan thinks it's so badass? You dare steal from my little brother? Did you ask this young master first?"
The voice was wild and unrestrained, as though it held no one in any regard, and rang in everyone's ears.
The man was tall and straight, his white robes fluttering gently in the wind. His face was extraordinarily handsome, with swordlike brows and starry eyes. Beneath his high nose, his lips curved slightly upward in the faintest hint of a smile.
It was none other than Lin Fan.
Many cultivators' pupils contracted. They were just about to ask who was so bold as to disregard the imperial clans when someone recognized Lin Fan on the spot and cried out, "Wait, he's... the Lin Clan's imperial scion?"
Hearing that it was Lin Fan, many people first froze, then looked shocked. "Heavens, it's actually him! No wonder he could survive a Purple Mansion Realm strike!"
"Good grief!"
"It's Lin Fan, one of the so-called Three Great Monstrous Talents of the Archaic!"
"Sure enough, hearing about him a hundred times can't compare to seeing him once! Forcing back two Purple Mansion Realm prodigies while in the Spirit Sea Realm-what a dashing entrance!"
Many had heard the legends of Lin Fan: breaking the Immortal-Exterminating Curse, forming ten pill markings, surviving the nine-nine annihilation divine lightning, and manifesting two legendary phenomena before reaching the Spirit Sea Realm.
He had broken one legend after another.
Word had long since spread throughout the Three Thousand Provinces of the Desolate Ancient Land, resounding in people's minds.
Many experts even ranked Lin Fan's talent alongside Wang Teng's and Long Aotian's, calling them the Three Great Monstrous Talents of the Archaic!
To the world, the name of the Lin Clan's imperial scion, Lin Fan, was like thunder crashing down upon their heads!
Yet they had never seen him fight. Seeing him today, he truly lived up to the title of one of the Three Great Monstrous Talents of the Archaic!
Seeing that it was Lin Fan, the cultivators gradually ceased being surprised and instead calmly accepted it all. The Lin Clan's imperial scion was indeed as monstrous as the rumors claimed!
After throwing away both portions of Origin, Ji Kun turned and fled, unable to spare any attention for what happened behind him.
He had not gone far when he heard a familiar voice and could not help glancing back. That glance stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Imperial Scion?"
With the imperial scion here, why the hell was he still running?
Joy appeared in Ji Kun's eyes. Dragging his battered body, he flew toward Lin Fan and looked at him with tear-filled eyes, like a wronged young wife. "Imperial Scion, you're finally here!"
Looking at Ji Kun, Lin Fan really wanted to send him flying with a kick. A grown man, acting so girlish.
But on his way here, he had already learned what had happened. For the Chaos Origin he wanted, Ji Kun had repeatedly suffered grave injuries and nearly died.
Not wanting to chill a loyal follower's devotion, he could only take out a pill and give it to Ji Kun. "This is a saint-grade healing pill. Take it, and your injuries will recover rapidly!"
He motioned for him not to speak and to recover from his injuries first.
Ji Kun swallowed the pill, his injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.
None of the cultivators dared make another move. This was now a contest between the great imperial clans.
They could not help looking at Lin Fan, then at the two prodigies, Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci, nearby. Settling in to watch the show, they understood how delicate the relations between the three imperial clans were!
One cultivator, watching the commotion and unafraid of making it worse, asked, "Holy shit, isn't the Lin Clan's imperial scion courting death? He stole two Purple Mansion Realm prodigies' opportunity while in the Spirit Sea Realm, yet he isn't hurrying away. Does he actually want to fight both prodigies?"
No one answered, but anticipation appeared on many faces.
They had never seen Lin Fan fight with all his strength and had only heard legends of his monstrous talent. They wanted to see a clash of dragons and tigers between them!
Seeing someone take the Chaos Origin, Wang Kunlong's expression first darkened. But upon recognizing the brat as Lin Fan, both he and Luo Tianci revealed shock. He exchanged a glance with Luo Tianci and said incredulously.
"You..."
"Impossible! How could it be you?!!"
Both men roared, their eyes filled with killing intent as their Purple Mansion Realm presence surged in every direction.
Lin Fan felt an icy gaze, and a deafening voice reached him. Turning, he saw Wang Kunlong and Luo Tianci staring coldly at him and said dismissively, "Oh, I was wondering whose dogs were barking so loudly! Turns out they're the Wang Clan's and Luo Clan's dogs!"
"You little Lin Clan bastard, how could you be here? Where are Wang Xun and the others?!"
Wang Kunlong could not believe it. They had clearly spread a net that covered heaven and earth. They had personally inspected all three formations, which could kill even ordinary Purple Mansion Realm cultivators. All that remained was to wait for Lin Fan to walk to his death.
Not to mention Wang Xun and the other prodigies were there too. Even if he had a chance to escape, they were more than capable of killing Lin Fan.
Yet Lin Fan had actually appeared here completely unharmed...
