Chapter 689 Warning Bell

On this day, Lin Fan emerged from seclusion. Hearing the news, All Kings of the Immortal Domain came to visit and earnestly seek guidance, as they wished to break through the King Realm and become Emperors.

Even Shi Hao came; his injuries were fully healed, and he had completely stabilized his Realm. Being in the same Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, he was incomparably powerful.

At this moment, the two strongest experts of the current age gathered together, naturally intending to discuss the Dao.

Both of them hoped that those around them would become as strong as possible, so they explained their precious experiences without reservation.

Unfortunately, in the end, very few were able to gain anything from it.

“Alas, our paths were fixed long ago. To start over from the beginning is easier said than done—” Even the Giant Qi Yu sighed.

Currently, the Great Chaos had not yet been truly settled. At such a critical moment, how many Kings would dare to cripple their own cultivation and start over?

Even if they retraced the path of cultivation, they could not guarantee they would definitely surpass their former selves and break through the King Realm.

Beings at this level do not succeed simply through the accumulation of time or re-cultivation.

Otherwise, since the Era of Emperor Fall, someone should have advanced long ago; they wouldn't have waited until now for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor to appear!

“Brother Fan, are we going to set out for the Boundary Sea, ascend to the Ultimate Ancient Land, and settle the Dark Storm?” Shi Hao asked.

“Let's wait a bit longer. We haven't been in this Domain for long. It's not appropriate to rashly start a war and kill our way over now.”

Lin Fan shook his head, not out of fear, but because he felt it was unnecessary.

In the original story, Shi Hao could win a one-versus-four; now with him added, would a two-versus-four be a problem?

Instead of that, it was better to cultivate for a while longer, because the true enemies were never the four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Time passed quickly, and another twenty thousand years went by. All was peaceful in the world, with no bloodshed occurring.

“Dong!”

Until this day, an ancient palace appeared in the sky above the Immortal Domain, from which numerous experts constantly descended, breaking the peace.

Those beings were Fallen Kings, carrying dense dark matter as they descended from the sky through the ancient palace, appearing matchlessly powerful.

This was truly sudden, catching the Immortal Domain off guard. Many beings were eroded by the black mist, leading to tragic incidents.

“Guidance Ancient Palace!” Lin Fan was startled awake from his seclusion, his gaze narrowing and his face turning cold.

Furthermore, this palace was exceptionally large, far more magnificent and dangerous than the one belonging to the Nine-Headed Monster.

“I didn't go looking for you, yet you've delivered yourselves to my door!” Lin Fan said chillingly.

“Boom!”

He struck out forcefully with a single punch. The heavens and the earth lost their luster; only he remained radiant, peerless and matchless.

In the sky, with a series of crackles, all the Dark Creatures in that area exploded. Broken bones and blood were annihilated along with them, leaving nothing behind.

The strike of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was beyond comparison!

However, he discovered that this was only one of the battlefields. Guidance Ancient Palaces had appeared all across the Immortal Domain, and even in the Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

“Chi!”

One Dark Creature after another descended, carrying an ominous and terrifying aura that blotted out the sun as they attacked various locations.

“Kill!”

For a moment, the cries of slaughter shook the heavens, and beings died in swaths.

“Courting death!”

Lin Fan was furious. With a flash of light, a piercing black light shot out, illuminating all regions. He sacrificed his human emperor banner, sweeping across heaven and earth.

“Puff, puff, puff—”

Any invaders illuminated by the black light exploded instantly. Their Primordial Spirits were harvested, and a bone-chilling killing intent filled the air.

This was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapon; once unleashed, the world lost its color and all things submitted!

“Collect for me!”

Lin Fan roared and also sacrificed a Golden Cauldron. It spat out endless immortal light, sweeping through the universe and affecting time and space.

The cauldron was so massive it could practically contain the heavens. It directly sucked in the Guidance Ancient Palace in the sky to suppress it.

Not only that, it was also terrifying, suppressing and killing enemies in all directions. One Dark Creature after another exploded, turning into ashes.

The entire Immortal Domain went wild!

This Magical Artifact was too astonishing. Just by hanging in the firmament, it could kill all enemies. Immortal Kings were tiny before it.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao was also taking action. Differently, he went to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm to suppress the Guidance Ancient Palaces there.

“Wasn't the origin ancient artifact refined? Why are there still enemies descending from the sky?”

Lin Fan was puzzled, feeling that this matter was not simple. There were quite a lot of Dark Creatures arriving, and more than one Guidance Ancient Palace.

This time was extraordinary; almost all the major Realms were impacted. Especially the Holy Emperor Palace and the Heavenly Court, it seemed more like a probe.

If he hadn't chosen to stay in the Immortal Domain for quiet cultivation, his old friends would have been in danger and certainly couldn't have withstood this invasion.

“Collect again!”

Then, Lin Fan gave a long shout, simultaneously driving two Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapons. As they streaked across the myriad Domains of the heavens, the Dark Creatures all perished.

Seeing this scene, all the clans of the Immortal Domain breathed a sigh of relief.

“Roar!”

Shortly after, the enemies in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm were also cleared out by Shi Hao, and he brought back an ancient beast.

It was extremely massive, taller than a star, covered in scales, and its aura made many Immortal Kings tremble with fear.

Undoubtedly, this being was extremely powerful. At the very least, few among Immortal Kings could match it; it was even stronger than the Nine-Headed Monster.

Because this was also a monster that practiced mutual devouring, and it had reached a staggering nineteen heads, making one's scalp tingle.

Even so, facing a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it was still no match. A wisp of Emperor pressure weighed down, and it lay on the ground covered in blood.

“Speak, what is your origin?” Shi Hao interrogated.

“There is nothing to say. We fell into darkness and devoured each other. Now we have gained an opportunity to lead an army and kill our way out of the cage!”

One of the heads whispered.

“Darkness is eternal. This day will eventually come, and no one can escape!”

Another of its heads roared, sometimes crazed and sometimes dazed, very abnormal. It even thought of attacking Lin Fan and Shi Hao.

The result was no different from an egg striking a rock. A head was chopped off by a sword, its Primordial Spirit annihilated, turning the Nineteen-Headed Monster into an eighteen-headed monster.

“Why bother with such trouble? Searching the soul directly is simpler.”

Lin Fan spoke softly and shook the human emperor banner. The Primordial Spirits within the eighteen heads were pulled out, becoming Puppets to play back their memories.

The two frowned because most of its memories were chaotic and filled with darkness; only one piece of information was useful.

“In the Land of Darkness, someone deliberately released them and instructed them to launch this attack.” Shi Hao was surprised.

Unfortunately, they couldn't see exactly who did it. They only heard a voice giving the Dark Creatures their freedom.

This time, they were awakened to return to the Land of Light and were ordered to attack.

Next, the two interrogated the remaining Fallen Kings, and the information obtained was the same, with no great harvest.

“Alas, the true enemies have made their move. Even if we don't kill our way over, they will come on their own before long.”

Lin Fan gave a long sigh; this was what he had deduced.

“Puff!”

Finally, the Nineteen-Headed Monster was executed, its body and spirit destroyed, along with the rest of the Dark Creatures—none were left alive.

Lin Fan didn't even deign to take their Primordial Spirits into the human emperor banner. With his current Realm, his standards were naturally higher.

The battle came to an end.

Fortunately, the two Quasi-Immortal Emperors had not traveled far and acted in time to slay all the invaders, so the losses in the various Realms were not very large.

However, this also rang an alarm bell. The enemy could not only come from the Boundary Sea but could also descend out of thin air, catching them by surprise.
