Chapter 1115: A Little Practice

"What the hell," Lin Fan cursed, standing between heaven and earth. The last two places had not a single soul—everyone had fled. Truly a trap. But he understood now: those bastards probably knew he was coming and hid to avoid meeting him.

Of course, Lin Fan chose to forgive them. But if he ever ran into them again, he'd kill them all.

"This Black Heavenly Demon Legion isn't bad, but it has too many problems. Did Southern Demon Immortal King take me for a fool? If he refined this piece of junk as an Immortal King, it's a total disgrace." Lin Fan wasn't stupid. If an Immortal King spent ages refining something like this, it would be truly embarrassing.

But this thing could probably only be successfully refined by Southern Demon Immortal King, since some materials were unique to the Southern Demon Sea.

The Black Heavenly Demon Legion looked like living beings, but they were actually treasures—treasures that had taken human form. Lin Fan planned to repair them thoroughly and slightly boost their strength.

Heaven and Earth Furnace!

He threw the Black Heavenly Demon Legion straight in. Flames blazed, purging impurities. The Legion transformed within the furnace, and Lin Fan discovered Southern Demon Immortal King's will inside—the core controlling the Legion. If he didn't remove it, the Legion would always belong to Southern Demon Immortal King, and Lin Fan would only have temporary control.

An Immortal King's will wasn't easy to erase, but before the Heaven and Earth Furnace, nothing in this world was impossible to remove.

A wisp of flame touched the Immortal King's will, emitting a sizzling sound.

In the Black Mountain, Southern Demon Immortal King was pondering the whole affair and preparing for future scenarios. Suddenly, his heart stirred—his control over the Black Heavenly Demon Legion had vanished.

Southern Demon Immortal King frowned and shot to his feet. "Impossible. This kid managed to erase my will—quite baffling. Future Immeasurable King Buddha is clearly stronger than him, yet didn't kill him, as if holding back. This kid is no ordinary one. I must not fall into Future Immeasurable King Buddha's trap."

Inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Black mist roiled, then condensed into the Black Heavenly Demon Legion once more. Their aura was stronger than before, though not astonishingly so, but much improved. Lin Fan now had absolute control over the Legion. As for Southern Demon Immortal King, he could go to hell.

"Master."

Clatter!

The Black Heavenly Demon Legion knelt. Each was ten zhang tall—mobile hills. Their warhorses were robust and imposing.

"Now this is mine," Lin Fan smiled. Southern Demon Immortal King did have some skill, refining such a thing. Having stripped all control, Lin Fan wondered what the king thought. But if he gave away something like this, he must have something better.

"Rise."

"Yes."

The Legion numbered ten thousand. United, they could trap an ordinary Immortal King, but not kill one.

Lin Fan spread his five fingers. The pills he'd obtained from killing Truth Immortal King flew out, floating in the void. An old Immortal King's stash was indeed rich. He shattered them, and the pill spirits, unable to resist, transformed into a river of medicine.

He himself felt disgust at the sight of pills; even a sniff might make him vomit.

Now these pills finally had a use: boosting the Black Heavenly Demon Legion's strength.

Lin Fan raised both hands, then clapped. The vast medicinal power cascaded down like a waterfall.

The Black Heavenly Demon Legion looked up, opened their maws, and devoured the medicinal power.

Crack!

Crack!

Bones shattered. Roars shook heaven and earth. Each Black Heavenly Demon snarled ferociously, demon horns on their foreheads crackling with lightning, then extending, curving down their backs to their heels.

Their faces were hideous and terrifying, like abyssal demons. Their mere presence could scare anyone to death.

The warhorses also absorbed some pills and began to transform. Purple flames ignited on their hooves, as if treading on hell.

A surge of energy burst from the Black Heavenly Demons, forming a vortex that enveloped the sky.

Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. Now this was a true Black Heavenly Demon Legion. With Truth Immortal King's pills, they had advanced countless realms.

"Not bad. At this level, they can charge and kill even an ordinary Immortal King."

"Let's go, time to test you out." Lin Fan spread his hand, and the Legion instantly transformed into a war banner, flying into his palm.

If Southern Demon Immortal King saw this, he'd spit blood. This kid used all of Truth Immortal King's wealth on these trash—it would drive him mad.

An ancient Immortal King's possessions were vast. Used properly, they could unleash immense potential.

...

The supreme elders of the Heavenly Earth Sect and other sects acted, dividing the unoccupied territories and sending disciples to guard against the Moon Shadow Continent's invasion.

But the Moon Shadow Continent's invading forces were vast—far more numerous than the Endless Continent's.

When Lin Fan appeared in the void, an invasion was underway at the defensive line. Moon Shadow Continent's army descended, including various magical beasts unique to that continent.

These beasts had different attributes, excelling at ranged and close combat. Their bodies were tough; even divine weapons from the Endless Continent struggled to break their defenses.

At a temporary barrier formed by supreme divine abilities, many disciples watched the distance with grim faces. They had repelled several waves, suffering heavy losses, and had learned about these beasts.

Boom!

A roar echoed across heaven and earth.

In the distance, the ground split. Earthen spikes shot up from the earth, dozens of zhang high. A huge bulge rose on the ground, as if something was tunneling underground.

Bang!

The bulge exploded. A colossal figure appeared before the disciples—a giant bear, standing a hundred zhang tall, massive, with gray, thick fur. Behind it followed a horde of beasts, each large, but dwarfed by this one.

"Careful! That's the Moon Shadow Continent's super divine beast, Earth King Bear!" shouted disciples on the wall.

Lin Fan looked into the distance. A towering totem stood there, depicting a strange nine-headed humanoid—the god of beasts in their hearts, the Beast God.

Roar!

The Earth King Bear spread its claws and roared. The sound was like thunder, deafening. Disciples with low cultivation covered their ears in pain.

"How dare you!" An elder on the wall soared into the air, his sword slashing a rainbow toward the Earth King Bear.

He was a Saint Immortal realm expert, powerful. His sword tore through the void and struck the bear.

"Elder Qingshan has acted!" The disciples on the wall cheered, but their excitement didn't last. They were stunned by what followed.

The Earth King Bear's massive paw slapped down, collapsing the void, and smashed into Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingshan's sword flashed as he met the blow head-on. The immense force erupted. Though a Saint Immortal, he was careless—he shouldn't have matched strength with the bear.

Bang!

Wang Qingshan was blasted into the ground like a cannonball, spitting blood. Enduring his injuries, he dodged the bear's stomp and fled back to the wall.

The Earth King Bear stood there, mouth open. "Natives are too weak..."

As everyone tensed, a blast came from the void: "Is that so...?"

A black banner shot through the void, slamming into the ground before the Earth King Bear, sinking deep.

The banner fluttered in the wind, rustling, radiating a vast killing intent.

Everyone looked up at the void.

Lin Fan stood there, speaking calmly: "Kill."
