The Frustrated Red King

Chapter 638: The Frustrated Crimson King

Read Taiwanese novels on Super Praise.

Lin Fan approached the volcano, walking through this sacred ancient land. All the great formations could not stop his steps; he moved as if on flat ground.

Sure enough, a plant was growing in the magma, like a wooden stick, straight and firm, emitting a dazzling glow.

It was entirely golden, more radiant than the sun, and incomparably sacred!

This was a Resurrection Grass, extremely rare in the world and of immense value. Its name perfectly explained its efficacy: saving lives from Reincarnation!

“A very good start.” Lin Fan smiled, his heart inevitably stirred. He dug it out directly and threw it into his spatial Magical Artifact.

The value of this medicine was too astonishing; he had personally experienced it and would not let it go.

Then, as he walked out of this mountain range, he looked up and saw an Ancient Cave opposite, spewing Immortal Qi, where someone was meditating.

“What a grand gesture. To guard a single blade of grass, an Immortal was specially dispatched.” Lin Fan immediately understood what was happening.

“You…”

The being in the Immortal Cave saw the intruder and was about to shout, but the other party was faster, pressing a hand on its head.

The Immortal tried to resist, but it was futile. Lin Fan’s mere wisp of pressure made him tremble, unable to move.

He was horrified. When did such a powerful being intrude into the ancestral land? To capture him with a raised hand was simply like an Immortal King.

“Seeing that you won’t honestly confess, I’ll do it myself!” Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and directly used soul-searching techniques.

Without any struggle, before an Immortal King, even an Immortal being could not resist. All secrets were laid bare.

Just as Lin Fan had expected, this place was indeed the territory ruled by the Crimson King’s lineage.

Moreover, there were too many legends about this Immortal King.

Some said he had refined and killed an Immortal King of the Nine Heavens with the Crimson King Furnace, but he himself was severely wounded and on the verge of death, having been in seclusion for an entire epoch.

However, Lin Fan knew that the reason this fellow was injured and in seclusion was due to the backlash from disturbing time.

At the same time, this was also a being of great ambition, wanting to take the Dao Fruit of others and Breakthrough into a Great Emperor.

Unsurprisingly, the reason he hadn’t appeared for many millennia was likely because he was undergoing Nirvana, seeking rebirth to break through his shackles.

“Heh, still thinking of surpassing the King realm? Whether you have the ability or not, since I’m here, today is your day of death!”

Lin Fan was indifferent. After getting the information he wanted, he shook his palm, and the Immortal turned to ashes.

Afterward, he went straight into the Crimson King’s reclusive dwelling, suppressing his aura like a ghost, so as not to alert the enemy.

This wasn’t cowardice, but rather, being in another realm, before acquiring enough Immortal Medicine, it was best to keep a low profile.

Along the way, Lin Fan saw many massive cities, all majestic. Some were even larger than Emperor Pass, built from star dice.

There were also cities forged from metal, suspended in the sky, truly like a Celestial Palace, serving as the center of an ancient land.

Without exception, these were all territories of the Crimson King’s lineage, occupying a vast and boundless expanse of mountains and rivers.

One couldn’t help but sigh; an Immortal King possessed immense authority, capable of ruling an entire Universe Sea without issue.

In comparison, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were too weak. The Holy Emperor Palace seemed barren when compared to it, like a small village.

“Wait, all of this will be mine!” A sharp glint flashed in Lin Fan’s eyes as he continued forward, arriving at the core area of the clan.

Surprisingly, this place was incredibly quiet and not prosperous, with no massive cities, only a small earthen town.

If not for the rich Immortal Qi in the center, it would be hard to imagine this was the Crimson King’s seclusion place.

Of course, this place was very dangerous, with many great formations, guards, and Immortal beings patrolling.

However, to Lin Fan, they were nothing, easily crushed, but for a decisive strike, he still held his breath.

Lin Fan entered the city, unnoticed, moving stealthily, heading straight for the Immortal Cave where the Crimson King resided. The outer perimeter was a tall wall, and inside were low stone mountains.

It was said that the Crimson King was in seclusion in the underground cave suppressed by those stone mountains!

In fact, upon reaching this point, Lin Fan had already sensed the extraordinary nature within, a surge of powerful Immortal energy.

This was the aura of an Immortal King!

However, Lin Fan was fearless. If he hadn’t come with a purpose, he would have long since flattened everything here.

In front of the mansion, a creature was lazily basking in the sun, as indolent as could be, lying there motionless.

It was entirely crimson, with the head of a flood dragon, the body of a lion, and its entire body covered in bone spurs, gleaming with a cold luster.

Its appearance was too bizarre!

“Beast of Time?” Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat as he recognized it. This was the true form of the Crimson King’s lineage, belonging to the direct line.

Moreover, this lineage had always been formidable, the most powerful race in history, naturally controlling time, invincible wherever they went.

In the previous epoch, apart from the Endless Immortal King, who also cultivated the Great Dao of Time, no one else had effective ways to deal with them; they were very troublesome.

“Who are you?”

At the same time, the Beast of Time saw Lin Fan, showing surprise, and asked with a very cold tone.

Lin Fan did not reveal his true form; his body was blurred. He looked down at the small beast, confident that he could easily blast it to death with a raised hand.

However, since he had appeared, he naturally wouldn’t let any living being escape. He had already set up Formation Flags, sealing off the entire small earthen town.

But the Beast of Time grew even colder. Being looked down upon seemed like a great humiliation, and he angrily said, “How dare you!”

Its cultivation was not high, but it possessed a cold ruthlessness, giving people the feeling of being high and mighty, arrogant, and extremely haughty.

Lin Fan remained expressionless, calmly saying, “Should I call you a guard dog… or the Crimson King?”

In an instant, the Beast of Time’s face darkened, changing repeatedly, and he vigilantly asked, “How did you recognize me?”

“What do you think?” Lin Fan sneered. After sealing the surroundings, he no longer concealed his cultivation and killing intent.

“You… are an Immortal King?!” The Beast of Time was surprised.

“Chii!”

Finally, Lin Fan made his move, extending a large hand, pale golden, carrying the power of an Immortal King, showing no mercy.

Because this was the Crimson King, or more accurately, its divine embryo after Nirvana.

“Whoosh!”

The Beast of Time reacted extremely quickly. Time fragments flew around it, and the years turned into tangible matter, enveloping its entire body, about to flee.

This was very unusual. An ordinary True Immortal would probably not be able to catch it. The power of time was too strange; it would allow it to slip away.

However, Lin Fan was an Immortal King after all, not a power of the same level. How could it break through his blockade?

Moreover, even in its prime, the Crimson King would not necessarily be his opponent, let alone when it was undergoing Nirvana.

“Ow…” The Beast of Time roared in fury, its body twisted, caught by the large hand, almost exploding.

“Despicable! Taking advantage of my Nirvana to sneak into my seclusion place and launch a sneak attack, what kind of Immortal King are you?!” It cursed loudly.

At the same time, many thoughts flashed through its mind: Was this its old enemy, or… a newly promoted Immortal King trying to establish his prestige?

No matter what, in the foreign land, this was against the rules. Attacking someone from the same realm would surely incur the wrath of all the Kings.

However, Lin Fan smiled, a very strange smile. He wasn’t an Immortal King to begin with, so why should he abide by the rules of this realm?

“Your clan is not bad. I’ve taken a liking to it. Let the Crimson King be the stepping stone for my fame.”

Lin Fan spoke unhurriedly, gravely spouting nonsense, while at the same time, he intensified his efforts, intending to suppress its Primordial Spirit.
