Chapter 493: It's Time for Little Master to Shine

A desolate land, barren mountains surrounding on all sides. Occasionally an ancient beast passed through, but it quickly left; in such a place, even an ancient beast would disdain to stay.

Here, aside from desolation, there was nothing.

The Ancient Saint Realm was vast, with countless desolate and dangerous places. Even those known as the eight supreme beings of the ancient clans had never seen all the terrain of the Ancient Saint Realm.

At that moment, a hand emerged from a deep pit in the ground.

“Finally out. As expected, after merging with the Earth Spirit Long River, I gained a characteristic divine ability.”

For ordinary people, entering the ground was impossible, but for Lin Fan, the entire earth was now a home he could enter at any time. From now on, he had one more means of survival.

“I wonder if the ancient clan chiliarch and the three-headed giant king are still around. What was the outcome that day?” Lin Fan looked around. That day, he had fallen from here, but the surroundings were desolate and silent.

“This clump of black blood belongs to the ancient clan chiliarch, and this one to the three-headed giant king. It seems that after I fell, the situation above must have been exceptionally fierce.” Lin Fan looked at the two clumps of dried blood crystals on the desolate ground, pondering.

The final outcome must have been that one died, or both died, and died miserably, with chrysanthemums flying everywhere—that was inevitable.

The potency of “Big Bro Pills” was no joke, especially such a large amount; it could make people lose their minds and completely unleash their inner desires.

Perhaps after those two fought desperately, members of the ancient clan or the three-headed giant king’s clan came here and took the bodies back.

“What a pity,” Lin Fan sighed. If he could have killed those two back then, his strength would surely have increased considerably.

But if he hadn’t gone down, he wouldn’t have discovered the Earth Spirit Long River, refined a unique artifact, or increased his physical strength by so many levels.

“Loss brings gain”—that saying was indeed true.

After coming to this realization, Lin Fan no longer dwelled on the matter. The Ancient Saint Realm was so vast, with countless experts; he couldn’t kill them all.

Even the small Xuanhuang Realm could hide so many opportunities, and the Ancient Saint Realm was vast as an ocean. Even the eight supreme beings of the ancient clans couldn’t see all of it, let alone count its opportunities.

Especially after refining a divine artifact like “Feitian,” he was filled with boundless confidence.

Although “Feitian” wasn’t considered a divine artifact in rank, its strength lay in concealment and surprise attacks.

Moreover, the refining method wasn’t too difficult. Even if it was destroyed, as long as he found another horn of the three-headed giant king, he could refine it again.

All of this credit ultimately went to the Earth Spirit Long River.

As expected of a primordial spirit, its transformative effects were truly immense.

At that moment, the distant void trembled as if a storm was coming.

Lin Fan focused his mind, sensing the aura from afar. This was no storm; experts were fighting, though he didn’t know what kind of experts.

“If it’s the ancient clan, that would be great. I wonder if I can gain something.” Lin Fan’s heart filled with anticipation. With a flicker, he was a hundred miles away.

Such speed was unmatched even by tearing through the void.

The myriad wonders of the Earth Spirit Long River were not so simple; in the blink of an eye, one could be at the ends of the earth.

Even the mythical “shrinking the ground into an inch” was no more than this.

…

“Senior Brother…”

At that moment, a young man in gray robes, severely wounded, fell from the void. Surrounded by a group of ancient clan members, three men and two women panicked and immediately shielded the young man.

Pfft!

The young man in gray couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at the ancient clan member in the void.

He had not expected that in this remote and desolate place, there would exist such a ferocious ancient clan.

"Overreaching! The Star Pavilion dares to come here to spy on the ancient clan—are you tired of living?" The ancient clan member in the void was vicious and overbearing, his狰狞 eyes looking down contemptuously at the ants below.

Li Tianquan was the senior disciple of the Star Pavilion, and this time he had led his junior brothers and sisters to this desolate land to gather information about the ancient clan.

Now the ancient clan ran rampant, their minions everywhere.

Even among the myriad races, there were spies of the ancient clan, slowly eroding their strength until the ancient clan could strike and conquer them all at once.

On this trip to such a desolate place, there should not have been an ancient clan member of such high cultivation, but as soon as they entered the ancient clan's territory to collect information, they were discovered.

There was only one possibility: their whereabouts had been exposed by someone.

The three men and two women looked at the scene before them, filled with fear.

They were all natives, not ascended from the lower realm. Though they had often heard of the ancient clan's cruelty, they had never seen a real ancient clan member. Now that they saw one with their own eyes, they were terrified out of their wits.

"Senior Brother..." The two junior sisters leaned close to Li Tianquan, fear showing in their eyes.

"Don't be afraid. I'll hold off this beast. You three take the junior sisters and go first." Li Tianquan took a deep breath, also feeling utterly helpless.

These five junior brothers and sisters, now facing the ancient clan in battle, were intimidated by its狂暴 aura; if they could even exert half their strength, that would be good.

After all, they were flowers grown in a greenhouse.

Li Tianquan was someone who had ascended from the Star Realm. In the Star Realm, he had climbed step by step to the peak, experiencing blood and tears, enduring countless hardships, gritting his teeth and persevering.

Thus, he was naturally not comparable to these disciples who had grown up in the greenhouse of the Ancient Saint Realm.

"Hehe, these two women have such delicate skin. We'll have some fun with them later."

"The women of these myriad races are too fragile. The ones we toy with die after a few moves—truly pathetic."

The ancient clan soldiers, eyeing the two fair-skinned and beautiful women, drooled with evil intent.

"Senior Brother..." The two women, hearing the shameless words of the ancient clan soldiers, were frightened, their delicate bodies trembling.

"Listen to me. You run first later." Li Tianquan forced himself to suppress the surging blood and qi in his body.

When he had ascended from the Star Realm, he had also experienced collapse and despair, but later, under the guidance of his esteemed teacher, he had gradually regained his former ambition.

This time, he had been careless, not expecting this ancient clan member's cultivation to be at the "middle-high Azure Heaven rank."

"Senior Brother, what about you?"

"It's fine. You just go first. I'll hold off these beasts." Li Tianquan glared coldly at the ancient clan, knowing he might fall here today.

"Remember, after you get back, you must root out that spy." Li Tianquan said.

"Haha, what are you whispering about? Trying to run? You're dreaming. Before me, Gu Ba, the thousand-man commander of the ancient clan, do you think you have any chance of escape?" The ancient clan thousand-man commander laughed wildly. With a clap of his pitch-black giant palm, the surrounding space suddenly shook violently.

"Sealing space? How is that possible?" Li Tianquan exclaimed in shock. This was something only an expert at the Vast Heaven rank could do!

"Nothing is impossible..." The ancient clan thousand-man commander sneered, everything under control. In an instant, he struck out with a palm, piercing through the void, carrying boundless force as it came to kill.

Li Tianquan's expression changed. He pointed a finger.

"Star Attraction Art."

This was the cultivation system of the people of the Star Realm, drawing upon the power of stars to refine oneself, each strike containing boundless star power.

"Hmph, useless. Your strength is too weak." The ancient clan thousand-man commander scoffed, paying no heed to the star power, and struck down with a palm to suppress heaven and earth.

Pfft!

Li Tianquan spat out a mouthful of blood, despair rising in his heart. He had not expected the ancient clan thousand-man commander to be so powerful.
