Temple of War

Chapter 513: War God Temple

Soon after, led by the White Turtle Carrying Immortal, the two passed through several light gates and arrived at another ancient land.

The layout here was similar to the Human Immortal Temple, also on an island, built by Immortals of the previous era. It was unadorned and filled with the aura of time.

“What kind of place is this?” Lin Fan inquired, feeling that this place was not simple; there was a solemnity within its ancientness.

“War God Temple!” the White Turtle replied gravely.

“Is there something special about it?” Lin Fan asked curiously.

“It initially wanted to be called War Immortal Temple, but no one in the world has ever achieved the War Immortal fruit status; it only exists in legends, so it was renamed War God Temple,” the White Turtle explained.

In the past, the Human Immortal felt regret when recalling his youth, thinking that if he had achieved another type of Immortal, he might have advanced further.

“War Immortal?!” Lin Fan was startled. He was not unfamiliar with these two words; they were mentioned throughout the entire trilogy.

War Immortal, as the name suggests, is an Immortal who undergoes extreme sublimation in battle, eventually achieving Immortal Ascension and transcendence, standing high above all.

Legend has it that once someone achieves this Supreme fruit status, their combat power will be unmatched, enough to sweep across the world with no rivals.

As soon as he achieves Perfection, he can surpass an ordinary True Immortal and is the only other type of Immortal that can rival a Mortal World Immortal!

Unfortunately, from ancient times to the present, and even throughout later generations, the War Immortal has only existed in theoretical deductions; no one has ever achieved it, making it a dead end.

Even Shi Hao failed, ultimately only able to live out one life after another, achieving Immortal Ascension in the Mortal World.

“Can this temple allow people to achieve Immortal Ascension?” Lin Fan wanted to know more, his heart excited, and Qing Yi was equally moved.

The White Turtle shook its head, saying, “No, Immortal Ascension is not that easy. This is a place of tempering prepared for the most exceptional few.”

Hearing this, Lin Fan was greatly disappointed. With such a lofty name, it turned out to be just a place similar to the Human Immortal Temple.

“Do not underestimate Immortals, and do not belittle the most ancient temples. It is a place for secluded cultivation; even a Supreme would be in danger entering it.”

The White Turtle warned, and also stated that even in the Immortal Ancient Era, only a handful of people, including True Immortal descendants, managed to pass through alive.

According to it, at the very least, one needed to be a Void Realm expert, and each realm had to be at least at Perfection, to be qualified to enter this place and accept the trial.

“Perfection is not enough; one needs to fuse with a perfect and flawless Dao seed. Otherwise, most people who go in won't come out,” the Snow-clothed Woman on the White Turtle's back added, her voice magnetic and incredibly pleasant to hear.

She was less than half a foot tall, but possessed unparalleled beauty, pure and ethereal, like a miniature True Immortal, an Incarnation.

Lin Fan quickly asked for more information, wanting to know what benefits there were after passing, feeling that she was more generous than the White Turtle, to avoid being tricked.

“If you succeed, cultivating for one day in the stone chamber can be equivalent to one year outside, making it easier to enter the Dao comprehension state.”

Lin Fan was stunned. It was such a great Opportunity! What he lacked now was precisely cultivation time, wasn't it?

Whether in the future changes or in creating techniques, he needed a large amount of time to grow and explore.

“Furthermore, Immortals may have left secret techniques, ancient texts, and Immortal Pills within, offering infinite good fortune…”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Fan's expression instantly turned to excitement. This was indeed an Immortal island, with countless Treasure Troves!

Next, after understanding the various aspects of the War God Temple, Lin Fan stopped talking nonsense, left them outside, and walked in alone.

This was also a stone temple, but unlike the Human Immortal Temple, it incorporated Immortal Materials, such as Sky-Mending Stone, in its construction.

It is said that this stone can mend the sky and is a Supreme, rare Material. Any Treasure forged with even a bit of it becomes indestructible.

One could not help but sigh; this War God Temple itself was a Supreme Treasure, enough to make people envious and fight over, its value astonishing.

“Swish!”

The moment Lin Fan stepped into the grand hall, he felt a shifting of stars and a dance of time fragments, as if he had arrived in the ancient era.

In a daze, he saw a True Dragon flicking its long tail, annihilating the star sea in the Universe, and also saw a Divine Phoenix burning the Nine Heavens…

At this moment, he only felt the world grow dim, falling into Chaos, witnessing the magnificent scene of the world's genesis, which was terrifying beyond compare.

Lin Fan felt a moment of confusion, “Where is this? Who am I?”

“Roar…”

Suddenly, a Dragon roar came, shattering the stars. That ancient beast swung its Dragon claw, tearing the sky, and attacked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was shocked. Instinct made him raise his hand to meet the attack, unleashing a punch with surging blood Qi like a raging furnace, unimaginable.

“Boom!”

This was a great battle. Lin Fan clashed with the Ten Vicious True Dragon, extremely fierce, Divine Power surging, engulfing the starry sky.

“I remember now, this is in the War God Temple, and I am undergoing a trial!” Lin Fan muttered, his eyes shining brightly.

He had heard the White Turtle Carrying Immortal introduce it, but he was still careless and underestimated the temple's strangeness, almost getting lost within it.

Fortunately, this trial was targeted; the power displayed was similar to the entrant's level, both in the Zhan Wo Realm.

However, Lin Fan's expression still changed. To encounter a Ten Vicious True Dragon attack right at the start, this was simply too abnormal.

One must know that the True Dragon is known as the strongest race, definitely ranking among the top, otherwise, so many beings wouldn't want to transform into Dragons.

But now, Lin Fan, a Human Race member, could fight it without falling behind, even suppressing it. This was absolutely earth-shattering!

“Pfft!”

After hundreds of rounds of intense fighting, Lin Fan's punch struck the Dragon's head, causing it to explode and turn into a shower of light, disappearing.

He won this battle, but his chest also suffered a blow, leaving a bloody imprint from a Dragon claw, which made him frown.

“The Immortal Ancient Era is indeed powerful. To injure me right at the beginning, it's not simple!” Lin Fan muttered.

“Clang clang…”

Just then, a long cry. A giant Divine Phoenix appeared, entirely crimson like fire, accompanied by terrifying high temperatures.

“Undying Divine Phoenix!” Lin Fan was startled. A True Dragon left, and another True Phoenix came. Was this trying to gather all the Ten Vicious?

Without surprise, this was another great battle. The fiery red Divine Phoenix spread its wings, its body filling the heavens and earth, boundless in size.

With one strike, the stars in the sky trembled and fell, turning into a large fireball that exploded like fireworks.

Seeing this, Lin Fan also transformed into an auspicious bird, immensely huge, moving through the starry sky, but not a True Phoenix.

Because he knew that no matter how proficient one was in another race's precious techniques, they could not surpass the originators and their inherent compatibility.

“Bang!”

In the sky, the Kunpeng and the True Phoenix collided, fiercely contending. Chaos Qi was vast, and occasionally, fresh blood splattered, making it extremely tragic.

But whenever the True Phoenix was severely injured and on the verge of death, a ball of Divine Fire ignited, and it would always undergo Nirvana in the flames, restoring its Peak state.

One could not help but sigh. This race was known as “Undying”; its vitality was excessively tenacious, making it harder to deal with than a True Dragon in some aspects.

“Pfft!”

Finally, after nearly a thousand moves, Lin Fan's sword severed the True Phoenix's head, which then shattered. Even its ability to undergo Nirvana would not work now.

Because “Undying” does not mean truly unkillable. When the Primordial Spirit suffers a fatal injury, it will still perish.

“Dong!”

However, this was far from over. The True Phoenix disappeared, and another being followed. The Qilin stepped on the sky, auspicious clouds surging.

Its four Qilin hooves were like pillars supporting the heavens. With each step, the world shattered, and magma rolled.

“What a War God Temple, is it inscribed with the imprints of various Supreme races?!” Lin Fan exclaimed, engaging in battle once again.
