CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 0554: NO HESITATION IN DEALING WITH YOU

"You deserve to die!"

An angry voice echoed.

The brilliance of the Immortal Techniques dissipated into smoke, and a dripping sound followed. Blood fell from the fingertip of Immortal Emperor Futu, golden in color, as heavy as mountains, slowly descending to the ground.

Boom!

When the golden blood hit the ground, the earth collapsed, unable to withstand the might of one drop of blood from an Immortal Emperor.

Truly terrifying.

That single drop of blood—if thrown by the Immortal Emperor himself—could likely kill an Immortal King.

The gap between me and an Immortal Emperor is still vast.

Without these Holy Weapons protecting me, the outcome would... be unimaginable.

"Hahaha!"

"Immortal Emperor, is this the extent of your abilities? I’m merely at the Immortal Monarch Realm, yet I’ve managed to injure you. Your skills are a bit overrated. Don’t tell me... you’re just a fraud."

Lin Fan laughed wildly, his arrogance unmistakable, as though he held no regard for the Immortal Emperor.

Indeed.

What he had done so far could only be described as extraordinary: the first person in the Immortal Realm to injure an Immortal Emperor with merely the cultivation of an Immortal Monarch.

If word got out, the geniuses of the Immortal Realm would all bow their heads, none daring to contend with Lin Fan.

How could they even compete?

While they prided themselves on being invincible among their peers, or on barely escaping from an Immortal King, Lin Fan was already battling Immortal Emperors. They simply weren’t on the same level.

A little self-awareness would seem prudent.

Otherwise, no one would bother to collect their corpses after they were killed.

The Immortal Eye of Immortal Emperor Futu emitted destructive golden light, with a storm brewing within it. The world turned bizarre, an ominous pressure slowly unleashing, breaking mountains and rivers, reducing the Cave Mansions of ordinary cultivators to ashes.

He was furious.

The mighty Immortal Emperor Futu had been completely enraged by Lin Fan’s actions.

Then suddenly.

The Immortal Emperor Futu raised a single finger, moving it slowly upwards. At its tip, a galaxy rotated, and faintly, a colossal figure sitting cross-legged could be seen among the stars, dwarfing the surrounding celestial bodies.

That was...

The form of Immortal Emperor Futu at the moment of attaining his Emperor status.

This had escalated terribly.

Clearly, the other side wanted to obliterate him in one fell swoop.

Immediately.

Lin Fan sensed the surrounding space-time beginning to solidify. It was the Immortal Emperor’s understanding of Dao and mastery of Law—not as powerful as that of an Immortal Venerable, but touching upon its essence.

"Ah, this is annoying."

He wasn’t afraid of how profound the opponent’s mana was—what terrified him was the things the opponent touched upon that he couldn’t control, far more dreadful than mere mana.

Instantly.

"Boy, fall into the Nine Abyss!" Immortal Emperor Futu roared, striking in fury. Space began to twist, and with a sharp whoosh, the formless power erupted. The figure sitting among the stars suddenly opened his eyes, icy radiance spreading across the vast cosmos.

Defend!

The Eternal Divine Furnace encircled him, and the Mixed Element Golden Gourd radiated golden light, forming an indestructible, immortal barrier.

Boom!

A deafening explosion thundered through the heavens and earth.

Lin Fan’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t underestimated the capabilities of Immortal Emperor Futu. When the Eternal Divine Furnace collided with that force, it felt as though an indescribable power crushed down upon him.

It was as if the entire sky and earth rested upon his shoulders.

The weight was enough to make him nearly collapse.

"Mixed Element Golden Gourd, protect my true form!"

Crack!

The golden light of the Mixed Element Golden Gourd shone at its peak, and moments later, it became liquid, rapidly enveloping Lin Fan’s body, forming a suit of golden armor.

At this moment.

The world around them became a blur. The finger strike from Immortal Emperor Futu was overwhelmingly terrifying, and the dazzling river of light generated by the collision obscured everything in sight.

Mouse Emperor Immortal, entangled with two other Immortal Emperors, was struggling to keep up, yet his attention never wavered from Lin Fan’s situation.

Seeing Immortal Emperor Futu so ruthless against Lin Fan, Mouse Emperor Immortal was deeply worried.

He wanted to step in and help.

But Immortal Emperor Dongcang and Immortal Emperor Yin Yang gave him no chance.

"Mouse Emperor Immortal, stop looking. That brat is doomed. No one who offends Immortal Emperor Futu has ever survived," Immortal Emperor Yin Yang sneered coldly.

In his left hand, he wielded the Yang Realm, and in his right, the Yin Realm.

Yin and Yang combined could overturn the heavens and the earth, limitless in their power.

"Must you all be so relentless? He has nothing to do with this. How about letting him go?" Mouse Emperor Immortal pleaded.

He felt that dragging Lin Fan into this battle against Immortal Emperors was a foolish decision, effectively pushing Lin Fan into the abyss. Hoping to negotiate, he offered to trade his life for Lin Fan’s slim chance at survival.

"Do you really think even if we don’t let him go, you’ll survive to leave here?" Immortal Emperor Yin Yang responded.

Gradually.

The devastating strike from Immortal Emperor Futu dissipated into nothingness.

"Lin Fan..."

Mouse Emperor Immortal called out urgently, desperate to know Lin Fan’s condition. Upon seeing Lin Fan covered in blood, with half his body shattered, Mouse Emperor Immortal’s heart throbbed painfully.

How could one withstand a deathblow from an Immortal Emperor while at the Immortal Monarch Realm?

"Hmm? Still alive?"

Immortal Emperor Futu furrowed his brows. This was not the result he had anticipated. The previous strike was imbued with his enlightenment from attaining Immortal Emperor status, carrying the purest will of an Immortal Emperor.

Even for a fellow Immortal Emperor, resisting such an attack wouldn’t be so simple.

And yet, this guy with Immortal Monarch cultivation—how could he endure it and still survive?

Cough! Cough!

"Impressive."

Half of Lin Fan’s body had been shattered, but he quickly activated his mana, regenerating his flesh and reforming his body entirely. Immediately, his Innate Divine Ability, Quick Recovery, unleashed its extraordinary restorative capabilities.

Though Quick Recovery was merely a gold-tier Innate Divine Ability, he also possessed the inheritance of the Fierce Phoenix Immortal Emperor. A flame without a source ignited, enveloping his body.

His life force steadily surged.

Before long.

It reached its peak.

The inheritance of the Fierce Phoenix Immortal Emperor granted him the most supreme Immortal Techniques, making it exceptionally difficult for him to die.

The Eternal Divine Furnace was now glowing red, having absorbed the brunt of the strike’s power. Meanwhile, the light from the golden armor formed by the Mixed Element Golden Gourd had dimmed significantly.

Ultimately, it was these two Holy Weapons that took the full impact.

Without them, his situation would have been grim.

Perhaps he would have perished.

Suddenly.

He looked into the distance. The Pure Yang Immortal Emperor was about to break free; the Demon Crossing Scripture and World Suppressing Tripod could no longer restrain him.

Within the seal.

The Pure Yang Immortal Emperor summoned the Pure Yang Sea, its scorching Pure Yang Power transforming into countless Pure Yang Giant Dragons, relentlessly assaulting the nearby restraints.

Boom!

A deafening crash rang out.

The World Suppressing Tripod trembled.

The Demon Crossing Scripture struggled to endure the Immortal Emperor’s attacks.

"Return."

Lin Fan recalled the World Suppressing Tripod. Then, forming an Immortal Technique with his fingers, the Demon Crossing Scripture coiled aggressively around the Pure Yang Immortal Emperor, buzzing...

The scripture vibrated, emanating Buddha Light.

Then it detonated, releasing an immensely powerful shockwave.

"Hahaha..."

Lin Fan laughed heartily.

While the Demon Crossing Scripture couldn’t harm the Pure Yang Immortal Emperor, simply annoying him was enough. He wanted the Pure Yang Immortal Emperor to understand one thing: even with inferior cultivation, he wouldn’t hesitate to make them pay.
