Chapter 194: Resolving the Disaster at Butian Pavilion

Chapter 194: Resolving the Butian Pavilion's Calamity

Two days later, at Butian Pavilion.

Inside a dilapidated courtyard, broken walls and crumbling ruins, piled stones, and not a blade of grass growing, all spoke of the desolation of the place.

Only at the center was there a sign of life, with luxuriant plants and trees. It was a garden, and the Butian Pavilion's Gourd Vine Sacrificial Spirit grew there.

However, its condition was not good; its entire body was withered, its leaves yellow, and the Divine Fire on its body was about to extinguish, like an old person in their twilight years.

A group of people arrived, including the high-ranking members of Butian Pavilion, Lin Fan, Yue Chan, Qingyi, and Xiao Budian, all approaching the Sacrificial Spirit.

“Chii!”

At this moment, Lin Fan broke through the golden light curtain. Runes intertwined, transforming into a green glow that illuminated the entire Gourd Vine, brimming with vitality.

Immediately, the backyard became resplendent, as if a surging blaze were burning, engulfing the area. Divine Radiance surged, incredibly brilliant.

At the same time, an astonishing phenomenon emerged: the essence of heaven and earth surged forth, gathering like a vast ocean, turning into liquid that was absorbed by the vine leaves.

“Sacrificial Spirit Adult, you must recover!” The people of Butian Pavilion prayed, extremely nervous.

The sect's current glory relied entirely on this ancient Gourd Vine, which had protected them until now. Its prestige was no less than that of the founding Ancestral Master.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the ancient vine trembled, and its withered yellow body glowed, as if awakening from a deep slumber, gaining a hint of vitality and releasing a mysterious aura.

Furthermore, with the addition of various spiritual objects, the originally dim leaves turned green, emitting an auspicious treasure light, and the green gourds rumbled with sound.

After a long while, Lin Fan stopped and said, “I have healed the ancient hidden injuries, but I cannot solve the Lifespan problem.”

“Many thanks. To be able to let me last a bit longer, until the great calamity of the Desolate Region begins, is already enough,” a沧桑 voice came from the Gourd Vine.

“That’s great! Sacrificial Spirit Adult has recovered!” In an instant, the people of Butian Pavilion cheered and were invigorated.

“Brother Xiao Fan, I knew you would come to help!” Xiao Budian rejoiced.

Lin Fan nodded. He had done his utmost. As long as this Sacrificial Spirit did not die and lasted until the era when all Heavenly Gods perished a few years later, Butian Pavilion would be able to continue.

Afterward, he, Yue Chan, and Qingyi walked out of the courtyard and arrived at a vast open area. In the center was a towering stone statue, carved from an entire stone mountain.

“In ancient times, he was also a genius in the Upper Realm sect and should have had a vast future. Unfortunately, for the Heavenly Kingdom Divine Maiden, he betrayed Butian Sect,” Yue Chan sighed.

“If the two truly loved each other, it would indeed be a beautiful story, but he happened to like a female assassin leader, which was destined to have no good outcome,” Lin Fan shook his head.

“Actually, the sect knew back then that the Heavenly Kingdom people wanted to kill him, but they still chose to stand by. Betrayal cannot be forgiven.”

Yue Chan revealed a secret, with a hint of coldness, as it was indeed a matter that brought shame to Butian Sect, and their sect-protecting Divine Ability almost fell into external hands.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan inexplicably felt a chill down his spine. He thought of the scene where Yue Chan would chase and hack at him with a sword once his identity as a secret learner was exposed, and he couldn't help but shiver.

“Cough, Yue Yue, you should still speak softer. That person isn’t completely gone yet; a remnant soul still lingers in the world, right here in Butian Pavilion,” he whispered.

Yue Chan was startled and immediately covered her small mouth, awkwardly saying, “Since the matters in the Lower Realm are finished, let’s quickly return to the Upper Realm.”

Then, she added, “Don’t forget to take me to find the Qing Yue Flame!”

“Crack!”

Suddenly, the earth shook and mountains swayed. Butian Pavilion seemed to have Earth Dragons rolling beneath it. One spiritual mountain after another collapsed, falling into a black abyss, startling everyone.

“What happened?” All living beings were astonished and at a loss. The sight was truly terrifying.

Numerous large cracks appeared in the earth, like a spider web, spreading within Butian Pavilion, collapsing countless halls and palaces, utterly horrifying.

At this moment, Butian Pavilion was in chaos, people were panicking, and they vaguely sensed that the anomaly came from the Gourd Vine, as if an enemy was attacking.

“What’s going on?” Yue Chan looked into the distance, a strange expression on her face.

There, an old vine had grown very thick, its roots like trees, soaring into the clouds. Its entire body glowed with colorful light, rustling, and its aura was powerful.

It was battling a mysterious being. One of its vines, like a battle spear, pierced through the opponent's shoulder, bleeding profusely and continuously dripping.

“Spirit Race Venerable, is this a test?” Lin Fan opened his Heavenly Eye, two runes flickering, clearly seeing the gigantic being within the mist.

It was a humanoid being with a pair of pure white wings. A vertical eye was on its forehead, and as it opened and closed, lightning flashed and thunder roared, erupting with terrifying power.

“Given how the old vine is acting, it might be difficult for it to live until the great calamity of the Desolate Region begins. There are also other powerhouses lurking nearby…”

“Forget it, I’ll finish what I started and help one more time!” Lin Fan muttered to himself.

The next moment, he transformed into a stream of light, holding a Five Elements Immortal Metal Sword Embryo, and charged into the sky.

“Senior, step back! I will slay it!” Lin Fan roared, his Venerable aura surging. Then, he brandished his long sword, like a Heavenly God opening the heavens.

“Chii!”

In an instant, Sword Qi crisscrossed for tens of thousands of miles, enveloping the Void Realm, blooming like rays of immortal light, eternal and imperishable!

At that moment, the Spirit Race Venerable’s Divine Sense violently pulsed, sensing great danger. His vertical eye emitted golden lightning, dense and numerous, like a descending river of stars, to resist.

However, this sword was too fierce; it actually cut through the endless lightning, unstoppable, as if a Sword Domain was pressing down, perfectly natural.

“Pfft!”

The humanoid being’s head was pierced and split into two halves. Five-colored, demonic blood splattered, dyeing the sky red.

“Brother Xiao Fan, so… strong!” Xiao Budian was shocked, looking at that figure, his entire being in a trance. Slaying an enemy with one sword—what kind of domineering power was that?

“When did such a young powerhouse appear in Butian Pavilion? He can’t be more than fifteen years old…” Several figures secretly observing were stunned.

“It’s your turn!” Lin Fan’s eyes sparkled as he looked in another direction.

Then, he strode forward, his steps causing the Void Realm to almost shatter, emitting a dull, deafening roar that made everyone’s expressions change.

“How terrifying! His mere footsteps possess an unfathomable might, practically capable of destroying heaven and earth!”

“Not good, he’s coming for us, run!” To the north, a massive Vicious Beast roared, its entire body enveloped in mist, with only a pair of emerald eyes visible.

In fact, this was a Qiongqi, an ancient remnant, whose Evil Qi soared to the heavens. Having obtained a Heaven-Defying fortuitous encounter, it had become extremely powerful, comparable to a pure-blooded being.

Moreover, it had once served as a Sacrificial Spirit for an ancient kingdom, but after collecting the Power Of Faith, it refused to provide protection and directly devoured the living beings of the entire kingdom, truly vicious and malevolent.

However, at this moment, it began to flee, feeling fear towards a Human Race Young Master.

“Where do you think you’re running?!” Lin Fan roared, the heavens and earth trembling. He extended a large hand, covering the sky, entwined with runes, engulfing everything.

In an instant, that space-time twisted, producing strange fluctuations, and stars shifted.

“Ah… what kind of ghostly Divine Ability is this?!” The Qiongqi roared, discovering that it was actually retreating, its life essence inexplicably draining, moving towards decay.

“Boom!”

The large hand slammed down, and the Qiongqi’s body exploded, splitting into four. A generation of evil-doing Vicious Beasts in the Lower Realm was thus annihilated, body and spirit.

This scene caused countless people to gasp, their hearts stopping, their eyes wide, as if they had seen a ghost.

One sword and one palm, annihilating two great powerhouses, without an extra move; it was truly too shocking!

Even Yue Chan and Qingyi showed a strange brilliance, looking at the Young Master who seemed like a Heavenly God descended, feeling a slight stir; he was truly astonishing…

“Crack!”

The next moment, Lin Fan attacked again, his great halberd sweeping across the sky, cutting open the Void Realm, continuing to pursue the remaining two Venerables who were lurking.

In the sky, divine light shone dazzlingly, a great battle erupted, the heavens and earth roared, and rays of light illuminated everything.

Soon, the battle ended. Lin Fan returned, dragging several corpses, having cleanly slain those several major threats.

“Many thanks, Young Master, for your righteous assistance. All of us in Butian Pavilion are eternally grateful!” The Butian Pavilion Elder and Disciples bowed to the sky, their expressions agitated.

Finally, Lin Fan and the other two departed calmly, not lingering, leaving only a group of people sighing with emotion.

“Beyond the heavens, there are heavens; beyond people, there are people. The world is larger than we imagine…”
