The whole world is silent

Chapter 570: The World Falls Silent

The establishment of the Heavenly Court quickly made it the most powerful Dao lineage in the Universe, its name shaking the six directions and eight desolations, revered by all races!

All of this was due to the existence of the Heavenly Emperor, whose battle prowess was unprecedented, writing a glorious ancient history.

He once swept through the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land with a single sword, once killed a rising star of the Seven-Colored Bloodline with a single punch, and once defeated all the ancient Chaos races… People were moved upon hearing this, witnessing the legend of one man and his terrifying achievements.

The Heavenly Court thus became even more prosperous!

However, Lin Fan himself was indifferent to all this; after defeating the top experts of all races, he rarely roamed the Mortal World.

“The Age of Dharma Decline, time is like a blade, becoming increasingly cruel…” Lin Fan sighed.

In the vast world, though he was unrivaled, he saw no old acquaintances. He could only pass his time cultivating the Dao, and a sense of loneliness spontaneously arose within him.

Time flowed, mercilessly, and in a blink, ten thousand years passed!

Lin Fan was still in his prime, showing no signs of aging, full of vigor, looking no different from when he was twenty years old.

However, during this period, the former Dao achievers, whether enemies or powerful individuals he had met, one after another, passed away.

Within the Heavenly Court, many more tombs appeared, and the Heavenly Soldiers who had followed him were replaced batch after batch.

The whole world fell silent!

Late at night, Lin Fan gazed at the starry sky, often standing motionless for many days, truly feeling the terror of time.

Unlike this Realm, although Immortal Ascension was still impossible in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there were at least small amounts of immortal substances that allowed people to live for a very long time.

Therefore, in the past two hundred thousand years, he had never worried about this.

“Alas…”

Lin Fan sighed softly, rose in the morning glow, and left the Heavenly Court, heading into the distance, not returning for several millennia.

However, the Heavenly Court remained powerful, spread throughout the Universe, and even though time defeated all heroes, it was still the greatest sect in the Universe!

Because the world knew that the Heavenly Emperor was still alive, not old or deceased, with an astonishingly long lifespan; he alone could suppress the world!

Time hurried on, another twenty thousand years passed. The vast world was silent, truly not a single familiar face remained… It was on this very day that Lin Fan finally grew his first white hair.

“Time, ah!”

Lin Fan was not overly concerned. Even though he had lived for thirty thousand years in this life, he could feel that he could still live for a very long time.

His life force was surging!

It wasn't until the forty thousandth year arrived that he was no longer young, beginning to decline, with temples graying, about to pass his life's Peak state.

“Immortal Ascension in the Mortal World, how should I walk the fifth life?”

Lin Fan left the Mortal World and began to prepare seriously. In the coming years, he meticulously studied secret arts and methods of longevity.

Of course, for him, this was not the first time; this life was his fourth, and he had various experiences before.

If not for this, his lifespan in this life would not have been so long.

Unfortunately, the path of a Mortal World Immortal cannot be replicated or repeated; the methods used in previous lives become ineffective after use.

Of course, it was not without gains; the accumulation of four lives resulted in an unimaginable number of secret arts, all of which were key points for his reference… Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Nearly three years after the incident at the Immortal Battlefield, the students of Heavenly God Academy had all advanced to the Void Realm.

As for Yue Chan, she had entered secluded cultivation early and, needless to say, broke through to this Realm even faster.

As soon as she emerged from seclusion, she began searching for Lin Fan, but unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found in the Holy Emperor Palace, nor was there any news of him.

Soon, Yue Chan noticed something unusual and rushed to Heavenly God Academy to find her secondary body and understand the situation.

Most importantly, on her way, she heard some bad news, saying that Lin Fan was lost on the Ascension Platform.

“Qing Yi, where is Junior Brother?” Yue Chan asked, her face, which made a hundred flowers lose their color, filled with anxiety.

“I don't know either. I haven't seen him since we parted at the Immortal Battlefield a few years ago.”

Qing Yi shook her head, her eyes sparkling, her delicate brows furrowed, also worried whether the rumors from the outside world were true.

She had been worried for a long time, not even going to the selections for the Holy Academy and Immortal Academy, choosing to stay at Heavenly God Academy.

On the other hand, Qing Yi was also waiting for Yue Chan to emerge from seclusion to inform her of this matter.

“Senior Meng said he is in secluded cultivation, striving for a higher Realm, but I vaguely feel something is wrong. Perhaps Little Milk Hao knows.”

“Let's go, we'll find Little Milk Hao and ask him clearly. I don't believe he just disappeared like that, without leaving a word!”

Yue Chan's jade hands were clenched tightly, her heart unable to find peace… Emperor's Fall, Age of Dharma Decline.

Even someone as powerful as Lin Fan could not resist the erosion of time; his last hair turned white, and many wrinkles appeared on his face.

Later, his Qi and blood withered, and he could no longer maintain his Peak state. At this point, he had already entered the twilight years of his life.

By then, he was fifty thousand years old!

It could be said that the world had changed completely; all his past acquaintances had long since passed away, turning into piles of dry bones, who knows how many years ago.

The great era had changed, replacing countless generations!

Only he persisted, watching the tides rise and fall; all the powerful individuals he had once met had returned to dust.

Lin Fan became increasingly silent, for he too was struggling to hold on, his hair white, his Qi and blood withered, like the setting sun, decrepit with age.

Even so, he had managed to cross the fifty-thousand-year threshold.

This was astonishing, far beyond the lifespan an ordinary Supreme could have in the Age of Dharma Decline, even with the consumption of an immortal medicine.

“As expected of the Heavenly Emperor, he really can endure, living longer than a turtle… ahem…!” Some people were shocked, finding it incredible.

“Heh heh, what if he can endure? He's still in his twilight years; there will be a day when he dies.” Someone sneered.

Some races were even stirring, all hoping for the Heavenly Emperor to pass away, otherwise, they always felt a great mountain pressing down on them.

Undoubtedly, these hostile factions had a great grudge against Lin Fan; their ancestors had been suppressed and killed by him tens of thousands of years ago.

Now, they were naturally happy to see the Heavenly Emperor perish, so they could re-emerge, rule the world, and dominate this land.

“Heh, hoping for my death? You are not capable yet. If I wish to live, even the heavens cannot take my life!”

Lin Fan sneered.

Over fifty thousand years, he continuously refined his Law, his Dao cultivation tempered, and he had already found a path.

“Dong!”

A pool of blood appeared, Immortal Qi steamed, radiating colorful light, and the aura of life was rich, continuously gushing forth.

From a distance, it looked like an immortal spring, containing endless good fortune.

In fact, these bloods were the essence and blood accumulated by Lin Fan over the years from killing Supreme experts.

They not only contained the Laws of various Supremes but also precious essences of longevity. After continuous refinement, some had already formed.

Although not much, it was enough. Lin Fan believed that by comprehending through this, it would not be too difficult to live another life.

“Plop!”

Before his lifespan ran out, Lin Fan lay down, remaining still, submerged in the blood pool, nourishing his entire body.

The effect was obvious and immediate, preventing his condition from worsening and temporarily preserving his state.

However, to truly live on, he still had to rely on himself; external things, after all, only played an auxiliary role.

Ten years passed… Lin Fan, relying on a bit of immortal essence and the Laws of various Supremes, hovered between life and death, seeing and comprehending many things.

The so-called new life was actually the succession of another soul and another spirit, opening the most mysterious Primordial Spirit Treasure Trove.

Because not only the Physical Body has a gate, but the Primordial Spirit also has one, and it is even more hidden and harder to uncover.

Therefore, it is generally easier for the Physical Body to endure, but very difficult for the Primordial Spirit to be immortal.

“Boom!”

One day, seven years later, the Qi and blood in this place surged to the sky, piercing through the galaxy, alarming all regions of the Universe and all living beings of various races.

Lin Fan was reborn, cutting away decay, returning to a youthful state, living his fifth life, his essence, Qi, and spirit vigorous to the absolute Peak!
