The Holy Emperor is nowhere to be seen in the mortal world.

Chapter 628: No Holy Emperor in the Mortal World

The battle ended, and the world was in an uproar!

The battle between Lin Fan and the Golden-Haired Hou came too suddenly, inexplicably, and ended very quickly, making it unclear who won.

However, some people saw that when the Lord of the Hou Clan returned to Fallen Immortal Ridge, his Face was extremely grim, and he was covered in blood.

“Hiss… A Ten Vicious-level figure was injured!” Many people gasped, finding it unbelievable.

However, this was, after all, a peerless master with a unique Bloodline, who had stepped into the Immortal King Domain and was difficult to kill.

For example, the Heavenly Horned Ant, after going berserk, no one in the world could compare with him in strength, and his life force was immense, making everyone wary.

Such a figure, as long as he did not die, would recover after a period of time.

In contrast, Lin Fan’s condition was not very good, or rather, it was more severe; his body was tattered, almost on the verge of death.

After all, he was not yet an Immortal King and had not reached that Domain; he was only temporarily borrowing external power and could not maintain it indefinitely.

“Holy Emperor!” Some people cried out, seeing his appearance and feeling extremely worried.

His wife and daughter, needless to say, had tears in their eyes, felt immense heartache, and did not know what to do.

It showed how tragic that battle was!

“I must… fall into slumber!” Lin Fan left these words, dragging his body, covered in cracks and dripping blood, into seclusion.

The difference was that he buried himself, lying under the myriad things soil, as if he had prepared his tomb in advance.

Furthermore, on his grave, two unscrupulous Xian Yao (Immortal Medicine) took root, truly seizing the creation of heaven and earth.

“Oh no, didn’t they say good people don’t live long, and scourges last for ten thousand years? Why is he playing dead so early?”

This was the voice of the White Turtle Carrying Immortal, who, after being coaxed out of the Immortal Ancient Remains by Lin Fan, had been planted in the Holy Emperor Palace’s medicine garden.

There was also another Xian Yao (Immortal Medicine), also a turtle, but its outer color was different, greenish-blue, and it had no Fairy on its back.

“Alas… Fellow Daoist, rest assured and go; I will raise your wife and daughter, have no worries!”

Under the myriad things soil, if Lin Fan hadn't been too severely injured, he would have almost jumped out in anger and directly blasted these two venomous fellows.

Finally, it became quiet here; he remained motionless, his Primordial Spirit dim, without any fluctuations, like a dead body.

A thousand years passed, and he never reappeared in the world; the outside world was abuzz, speculating whether he had died from his injuries.

During this period, the beings in Fallen Immortal Ridge paid particular attention to his condition and even sent a True Immortal to probe.

However, Lin Fan never showed himself; if not for the grand formation set up by the Holy Emperor Palace, it would not have been able to stop a True Immortal.

“Scram!”

Just at this critical moment, Shi Hao roared loudly; he had come to support, battling this True Immortal in the starry sky.

“Pfft!”

As a result, the terrifying being from Fallen Immortal Ridge had his head pierced by Shi Hao’s sword, blood splattering, his form and spirit utterly destroyed.

This scene startled all races in the Universe; even the ancient existences in the Forbidden Zone fluctuated violently.

“Desolate is Heaven-Defying; he is slaying a True Immortal with a Mortal body!”

“This is incredible, something big has happened, another abnormal talent is rising!”

At this moment, many people were inexplicably shocked and extremely restless; how long had Desolate been cultivating, yet he could already kill a True Immortal, making people tremble.

At the same time, they also understood a truth: even if the Holy Emperor had an accident, there was still someone who could replace him and guard the Mortal world!

That person was Desolate!

“Hmph, when our Lord of the Hou Clan recovers, we will annihilate all of you!”

The beings of Fallen Immortal Ridge snorted coldly; the killing of a True Immortal caused their clan to lose Face and suffer great losses, making them furious.

Even so, the place fell silent again, choosing not to send more people to probe, because they had developed apprehension.

Time flew by, and five thousand years passed in a flash.

In the End of Dharma Era, in an age lacking longevity substances, most Cultivators did not live long, and generations changed repeatedly.

For ordinary Mortals, a few decades constituted a lifetime; by now, more than a hundred generations had passed, and time was merciless.

During this period, several major events occurred in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; the foreign realm once again opened a passage and invaded with a large army.

“Oh no, the other world is attacking again!” All races panicked, filled with fear.

This time, it was truly serious; among the invaders, there were not only Supreme, but also several Undying Beings and tens of thousands of creatures.

Such a lineup could be said to be extremely massive, and for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which lacked Immortal Dao combat power, it was an even greater catastrophe.

Of course, if Lin Fan were still here, unharmed, eliminating these executioners would certainly be no problem, but he had disappeared.

Since that battle, for thousands of years, he had shown no signs of activity, and everyone in the world was spreading rumors that he had already fallen.

Even the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Holy Emperor Palace had not seen him for a long time, each of them looking gloomy and worried.

Fortunately, Shi Hao, Meng Tianzheng, and others led their armies to attack and eliminate the invading enemies, thus quelling this turmoil.

In addition, the Immortal Domain had also sent people to the Lower Realm, attempting to seize the Heavenly Heart Imprint of this world, but they were all repelled.

“Fortunately, there is still Desolate in the world!” People breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the Heavenly Horned Ant, Ning Fei, Red Dragon, and others understood what the Opportunity the Holy Emperor had spoken of back then was.

In the next two thousand years, they successively underwent the Fusion of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, truly and flawlessly integrating with the Dao, ascending to the Peak of the Extreme Dao.

Yue Chan and Qing Yi also worked hard in their cultivation; with Lin Fan absent, the Holy Emperor Palace had to be defended, so as not to lose his Face.

In fact, by now, ten thousand years had passed since the End of Dharma Era began, and time had flown by; the original group of people were no longer young.

Even Yue Chan and Qing Yi, Fairies as beautiful as paintings, were already over ten thousand years old; if they were in the outside world, they would have long been frail with age.

Fortunately, the Holy Emperor Palace was a peerless pure land, with sparse longevity substances; Cultivators who did not achieve Immortal Ascension could live for a long time.

It was only slightly inferior to before the End of Dharma Era!

“Has Father not woken up yet?” Lin Xi (Lin Cherish) looked about three or four years old, her tender little Face filled with worry.

Thousands of years ago, Lin Fan used divine source liquid to Seal his daughter, not wanting her to experience the darkest era and miss this life.

But the little one was very clever; learning that her father was severely injured and dying, she often broke through the divine source and secretly ran to the Xian Yao (Immortal Medicine) garden to visit him.

“Lin Xi (Lin Cherish), go back quickly; it’s not time for you to emerge yet.” Qing Yao sighed softly, stroking her daughter’s head.

But how could she herself not be worried?

Suddenly, Lin Xi (Lin Cherish) seemed to hear some sound, her eyes widened in shock, and she said:

“I think I heard Father’s voice; he told us not to worry, that one day he would revive and become a Supreme Immortal King!”

Qing Yao was suspicious but heard nothing, saying, “Lin Xi (Lin Cherish), are you missing Father too much, causing you to be nervous and hear things?”

“No, I definitely heard it; Father was talking to me.” Lin Xi (Lin Cherish)’s little Face was very serious.

Then, she said urgently, “Mother, let’s invite Uncle Desolate and a few Senior to come and see, shall we?”

Qing Yao saw that she didn’t seem to be lying and agreed.

Soon after, Shi Hao, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and the three old monsters on the altar were invited to come and carefully examine and capture any signs here.

However, it was very quiet under the myriad things soil, without any abnormality; the few people shook their heads, indicating that it was still the same.

“He is too adventurous, wanting to break the shackles with external force and regenerate the divine embryo, but if he is not careful, he will never wake up again and will perish completely!”

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone sighed; even with the existence of a divine object like the myriad things soil, it could only maintain Lin Fan’s Physical Body from decaying.

Finally, the few people left; they also had no solution; in this situation, it could only depend on Lin Fan himself, and others could not help.

Little did they know, on Lin Fan’s body, there were a total of ten Reincarnation imprints; normally, they had no radiance and no fluctuations.

However, today, those ten imprints suddenly became incomparably profound, with specks of light, as if they had come to life.
