Chapter 162: Fighting among the Factions

Chapter 162: Factions in Chaos

Yue Chan was exceptionally different; her aura was terrifying and powerful, her skin like jade, her dark hair flowing, her entire body enveloped in divine radiance, beautiful beyond the mortal realm, like a painting or a poem.

Her eyes sparkled, and she glided gracefully, arriving before the bewildered fool. She felt a mix of annoyance and a strange sense of joy.

“Cough… I’ll look now.” Lin Fan meticulously investigated that period of experience, but it was shrouded in mist, blocked by the power of time.

However, he still saw a pair of incredibly profound eyes, filled with vicissitudes, as if they had seen through ancient and future times.

Lin Fan’s heart trembled because those eyes also looked over, as if seeing him in this world, gazing at him with a hint of melancholy.

“Was that me?”

Finally, he withdrew from Yue Chan’s Sea of Consciousness, his emotions complex.

“What did you see?” Yue Chan asked.

Lin Fan shook his head, sighed softly, and said, “It doesn’t belong to the past, nor to the present. It disrupts Yin and Yang, and disorders time. That imprint is destined to remain unseen.”

“Let’s go, it’s time to descend the mountain.” With that, he led the way down without hesitation.

Yue Chan looked at his retreating figure with a shiver. In a trance, it seemed to overlap with that blurry figure, and her heart was shaken. She then followed him.

…

The two descended the mountain very quickly, like the wind and lightning, far exceeding their ascent. It didn’t take long, only a day, to reach the foot of the mountain.

“Oh, where are all the people at the foot of the mountain? Why are they all gone?” Yue Chan asked in surprise, blinking her beautiful eyes as she looked around.

Originally, they had been worried about an ambush at the foot of the mountain, with people targeting the celestial seed in Lin Fan’s possession. But now, it was unexpectedly quiet; everyone had disappeared.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, an explosion came from a distance, with dazzling divine light, accompanied by the roars of Vicious Beasts, shaking the heavens and earth, and towering divine flames.

There, someone let out a long cry, runes densely covering the area, and a Buddha Dharma Idol manifested in the Void Realm, vast and majestic, shocking everyone.

“The Western Sect’s Golden Body Dharma Idol!” Yue Chan showed a surprised expression. That was absolutely a divine battle, and the power unleashed far surpassed that of a Venerable, truly terrifying.

Then, divine rings glowed, divine birds flew, emitting five-colored divine light, distorting a large section of the Void Realm and pulverizing everything, which was quite alarming.

“Immortal Mountain’s Five Elements Ring!” Yue Chan was surprised, recognizing that supreme treasure, which was extremely renowned.

Lin Fan was also moved, clearly having heard of the Five Elements Ring, because its reputation was immense. It had once shone brilliantly in ancient times, slaying many great figures.

It was said that this divine weapon was refined from the original rune bones of five Heaven Rank Vicious Beasts, capable of evolving the Five Elements and forming its own realm. It was the Dao weapon of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

In those years, when this artifact appeared, the sun and moon lost their light, and all gods retreated. It also slew countless ancient mighty figures.

Of course, this one was certainly not the genuine article. Qin Changsheng could not possibly place his Dao weapon in the Lower Realm. It should be a replica crafted by his descendants.

But even so, it was rumored that the Immortal Mountain in the Lower Realm still regarded the pseudo-Five Elements Ring as their sect’s most treasured artifact, and after being nurtured by multiple deities, its power was boundless.

“Immortal Mountain has brought out its sect’s most treasured artifact, which shows how much importance they place on this place.”

Then, the two also sensed several powerful auras, one of which was very familiar.

“Heaven Mending Skill! An Elder has used the Heaven Mending Skill. There must be something there that has caused the major forces to fight fiercely.” Yue Chan made her judgment.

At this moment, the two instantly understood why everyone had stopped paying attention to Reincarnation Peak and instead gathered there. They guessed that something extraordinary had appeared.

“Let’s go take a look.” Lin Fan said, stepping out with large strides, quickly heading towards the battlefield.

But before they even approached the central area of the great battle, people were also fighting in the jungle, including experts of the Venerable and Array Master levels.

Furthermore, it was extremely fierce, seemingly for the sake of contending for a certain supreme treasure, leading to bloodshed. Dozens of powerhouses had already been severely wounded or killed.

“Oh no, Yu Lao and Granny Xihua are in danger; they’re being besieged!” Yue Chan exclaimed, pointing her delicate hand in one direction.

In the stone forest to the east, an old man and an old woman were being besieged by six Venerables, their bodies covered in wounds, some from claws piercing through, others with golden wings embedded in their bodies, bleeding profusely.

Clearly, the situation for these two was not optimistic; they were being targeted by many powerful figures.

“I’ll go help them. You take this pagoda for defense, and be careful on your own!” Lin Fan instructed, throwing the Glazed Pagoda to her, and then went to provide support.

After all, he was now considered a part of the Butian Sect, and he had to act when necessary. Moreover, the two Elders being besieged might be partly due to him.

Especially those two Golden Crows, who attacked the Butian Sect’s forces most fiercely.

“Your sect’s Disciple killed our clan’s Venerable. Today, we’ll use both your lives to pay for it!” The Golden Crow Daoist roared, his entire body shimmering with golden flames, intensely hot, like a blazing sun.

“Heh, what kind of thing is the Golden Crow Clan? If the Young Master is harmed, your entire clan should be annihilated.”

Granny Xihua sneered, conjuring a shield to block the solar essence fire, while Yu Lao assisted from the side, with runes constructing a light curtain to defend against the Golden Giant’s fist prints from the other side.

“I wonder if the Saintess has found the Young Master. If anything goes wrong, even if we survive and return, we will be held accountable!”

The old man sighed. Although he and Xi Hua were Venerables, facing numerous enemies surrounding them, they were ultimately outmatched. Soon, their layers of defense were breached, and they were shaken, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

“Whoosh!”

Just then, an arrow shot forth, like a heaven-shaking rainbow, accompanied by surging metallic Qi and the phantom of a White Tiger, exceptionally terrifying.

“Pfft!”

In an instant, a Golden Crow Daoist failed to dodge in time and was pierced by a killing arrow, immediately exploding in the Void Realm, his body and spirit annihilated.

“Who is this petty villain, daring to kill my Golden Crow clansman? Do you not wish to live?!” The remaining Golden Crow Daoist roared, seeing his clansman die before him, furious beyond measure.

One must know that in the Lower Realm, a single Venerable could revitalize a clan, bringing prosperity for an entire generation. Their status was self-evident, and each death was an immense loss.

Sometimes, for a clan, it could be a devastating blow, causing them to decline and head towards extinction, which was not impossible.

But now, since stepping onto the Immortal Island, the Golden Crow Clan had lost two Venerables in a short time, which was an unbearable event for any clan.

“Whoosh!”

However, what the Golden Crow Daoist received was not a reply, but another arrow, imbued with mysterious runes, accompanied by dense lightning and swirling winds.

This was an extremely astonishing strike, surging and powerful, like a Dragon stirring up rivers and seas, with a whistling sound, no less powerful than the previous arrow, causing everyone to become solemn.

“Not good!”

The Golden Crow Daoist frowned and quickly took out an ancestral artifact to resist. It was a refined original rune bone, polished into a Divine Rank magic mirror.

With a rumble, the arrow and the mirror collided fiercely, divine light soaring into the sky, light rain spreading everywhere, the sound like thousands of war drums beating, deafening.

“Look, the person who ambushed us is there!” The Golden Giant rumbled, pointing to a figure on a nearby mountain peak, drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

In an instant, several Venerables from various clans looked up, utterly shocked.

“It’s him, that little beast who threatened us!”

“Young Master!”
