CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 0557: FURIOUS AS THUNDER

For Lin Fan, he wasn’t flustered in the slightest right now.

His son showing up? What’s there to fear, ghosts?

Of course, the only concern was whether his formerly insane son still recognized him as his father. That was indeed a tricky matter.

If his son didn’t recognize him, then things would really be a bit of a mess.

But looking at the current situation, it didn’t seem like there would be any problems.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly appeared.

Also...

Could it be that my insane son has been secretly watching me all along? After all, he showed up at such a dangerous moment that seemed impossible to resolve. Hmm, there’s definitely that possibility.

Otherwise, how else could he know I was in the Void Cave Mansion?

If he’d known his insane son was watching him all along, he wouldn’t have been on edge until now. He could’ve used his talents to enhance his strength in the shortest amount of time.

At this moment...

The four Immortal Emperors each unleashed their refined Holy Weapons, their terrifying might overwhelming, already possessing the power to shatter the heavens.

Immediately afterward...

Several fierce killing moves tore through the sky and swept down.

Too terrifying.

The Supreme God Talisman glowed brilliantly, suppressing everything. A majestic figure appeared, suddenly opening his eyes and striking with a seemingly ordinary palm, yet it contained the power to disrupt heavenly destinies.

"What?"

"How could this be?"

The expressions of the four Immortal Emperors changed drastically. Holding their Holy Weapons, they were unmatched in battle and swept through the world’s invincible challengers. Yet, against this talisman, they couldn’t mount even the slightest resistance.

Boom!

Brilliant radiance engulfed the heavens and earth.

An unstoppable pressure swept forth. Lin Fan raised his hand to block the shockwave, witnessing the power of true invincibility.

"I didn’t expect my son to be this powerful."

Lin Fan sighed.

He was now deeply grateful for taking the Supreme God Talisman back then, which caused his son’s insanity and led to the profound father-son bond they shared today. If he hadn’t acted like that back then, he might’ve missed out on this unique relationship.

The insane old man had no idea what Lin Fan was thinking.

If he did, he’d surely bash his head in.

Damned bastard.

If you hadn’t screwed me over, I’d have awakened long ago.

The Immortal Emperors were forced back explosively, the incredible backlash rattling them so much they struggled to hold onto their Holy Weapons.

Each Immortal Emperor’s face showed fear.

Who on earth was this?

Why did he possess such capabilities?

Without his true form appearing, just a single talisman had stopped their deadly moves and made them feel endless fear. This was definitely beyond what mere mortals could achieve.

The four Immortal Emperors exchanged glances.

Then they roared furiously, channeling the Immortal Emperor’s Law which surged into the Void, causing it to tremble. Gradually, astonishing phenomena could be seen emerging from the Immortal Emperors themselves.

The talisman had enraged them utterly.

As Immortal Emperors, being blocked by a mere talisman, completely helpless—this was the last thing they wanted to happen. If word got out, they’d be laughed at to death.

"Hahaha! Weren’t you four Immortal Emperors all mighty just a moment ago? Now, you can’t even beat a single talisman. Watching this is honestly embarrassing on your behalf."

Whatever Lin Fan thought, he said. He started roasting them outright. Right now, he felt quite at ease—yes, that kind of comfort knowing someone else was taking the brunt of things. Think about how much he, Lin Fan, had endured, how hard he had worked; every burden had been his alone to bear.

With his son here now, he finally learned an important lesson:

That arduous effort would eventually yield results.

At last, he no longer had to silently shoulder unbearable pressure by himself.

Upon hearing his taunts, the four Immortal Emperors were grinding their teeth, practically vomiting blood, their fists clenched tightly as their rage boiled over.

"Kill!"

The Immortal Emperors’ auras surged to their peak as they unleashed everything they had learned in their lifetime. Instantly, four torrents of energy stormed forward, converging into a beam of light crushing down on the talisman.

The Supreme God Talisman shimmered briefly, releasing an ancient force that instantly shattered the Immortal Emperors’ killing move.

Damn it!

The Immortal Emperors were never ones for foul language, but now they couldn’t help blurting obscenities. Was what they were seeing even remotely within the realm of human possibility?

If the opponent’s true form had appeared and crushed their attacks, they might still accept it.

But now, the enemy hadn’t even shown up, relying solely on a talisman to achieve such overwhelming might. This was downright dismissive of their existence!

"Good," Lin Fan clapped and cheered before saying, "Mouse Daoist, quickly recover your injuries. We’re stable for now."

Mouse Emperor Immortal chuckled, "Lin Daoist, your son is truly strong."

"Of course! Who else’s son would he be?" Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit smug. There was no other way—exceptionally outstanding people were always this exceptional.

To be honest...

It was only now that he realized how brilliant he himself was.

If his son had shown up earlier...

He’d have known sooner just how extraordinary he truly was.

That said...

Even now isn’t too late.

The feeling of satisfaction was deeply soothing.

At this moment, the Supreme God Talisman was like an enormous mountain pressing hard on the hearts of the four Immortal Emperors, leaving them utterly powerless to resist.

The talisman floated quietly in the Void, emitting ripples that slowly spread outward, much like a pebble dropped into water, stirring concentric waves.

Except these waves spread endlessly.

Time and space were already twisting.

The four Immortal Emperors communicated via Divine Sense, yet they weren’t discussing how to confront the talisman. Instead, they were realizing that with their current capabilities, they truly couldn’t break through its power.

Knowing when to advance and retreat was a virtue.

Rather than stubbornly persisting despite knowing it was impossible, that would only lead to headaches for everyone involved.

"Let’s go."

Ultimately, their decision was to retreat.

The talisman hadn’t actively attacked them, but whenever they initiated an attack, the talisman would shine and block all their moves.

This was an infuriating obstacle.

The Immortal Emperors glared venomously at Lin Fan with an unmistakable message: "You just wait. If you think you’re safe now, you’ll eventually realize how tragic your fate will be."

Cultivating the Forbidden System of the Immortal Realm would make him a target hunted by all cultivators.

They would spread the word far and wide.

"Hey! Hey! Why are you suddenly running off? Come back! We’re all still waiting for you four Immortal Emperors to show your dominance over the battlefield!" Lin Fan shouted.

Immortal Emperor Futu roared angrily, "Junior, don’t get cocky! Cultivating the Forbidden System of the Immortal Realm—do you think you’ll just walk away unscathed? This matter will spread throughout the cultivation world. Let’s see if there’s any place left for you to hide!"

This statement was meant to strike at the heart, almost like slander. Though it wasn’t technically a lie, it was certainly a thorough attempt to smear him.

Lin Fan sneered. He hadn’t expected an Immortal Emperor to be this petty.

Fine.

Let them spread their rumors.

He wasn’t afraid at all.

If anyone came, he’d kill them one by one. With luck, he might even pick up some decent loot.

Still, he was a little dissatisfied with his son.

Couldn’t he have just wiped out these four Immortal Emperors?
