Chapter 541: The Human Emperor

For those suffering beings of the myriad races, Lin Fan's heroic figure was forever etched into their hearts; no matter how they tried to forget, they could not erase that towering silhouette.

But to the disciples of the six great sects, that figure was a source of deep confusion.

Could he be the human who had slain the four legion commanders and annihilated a million ancient clansmen?

But how could that be possible...

Lin Fan took a step forward, traversing a thousand miles in an instant, and appeared above.

The hem of his robe fluttered gently in the wind, his long black hair danced, his expression calm, as he looked down upon the ancient clans with a sweeping gaze. Then he raised an eyebrow slightly, showing a hint of puzzlement.

"I have slain all the ancient clansmen. Why are there still some?" Under the gaze of tens of thousands, Lin Fan spoke calmly.

His tone was flat, as if annoyed by a few more ants crawling out.

The disciples of the six great sects had already learned from the myriad races that a million ancient clansmen had been killed by a single human, but in their hearts, they might still have doubted.

But now, when those words came from the human's mouth,

the expressions of the six great sects' people changed violently—disbelief, shock, astonishment, their eyes wide and mouths agape.

"Great human, save us."

"Noble human, please rescue us from this sea of suffering."

At this moment, the beings of the myriad races prostrated themselves before Lin Fan's radiance.

The strong are revered. In such a world, their hearts urgently needed a powerful leader to guide them out of hardship and toward the light.

And this human before them was exactly what they had imagined.

Xie Sheng looked up at Lin Fan. He hadn't expected that the boastful words from that day would come true—that one person alone could annihilate a million ancient clansmen. What kind of strength did it take to accomplish that?

Candle Dragon and the other elders exchanged glances. They were all incredulous, but now they had to believe, because that formidable aura just now had emanated from this human.

"Who are you?" Gu Xiao stared at Lin Fan floating in the void, his brow furrowed in displeasure, feeling that this fellow was being somewhat presumptuous.

Especially that calm, dismissive expression that didn't put him in his eyes—it made Gu Xiao even angrier.

Never had any being of the myriad races dared to be so insolent before him.

Lin Fan looked at Gu Xiao, his heart slightly tensed.

"Half-step Divine Heaven realm."

Such cultivation was not weak in Lin Fan's eyes, but it was a pity.

"Half-step Divine Heaven realm—can't even break through in one go." Lin Fan's face was full of contempt, but he didn't know how much impact these words had on everyone.

The people of the six great sects knew the ancient clans were formidable, but they hadn't expected this one to be at the half-step Divine Heaven realm. Even if it was just half a step, it was still one foot across that divine threshold.

Yet from this human's mouth, it sounded so dismissive. Just how powerful was this human?

"Insolent!" Gu Xiao roared at these words. "Seize this human. I want to see what he's made of."

"Yes, young master." The eight guards behind Gu Xiao nodded, and instantly a fierce aura erupted.

"Be careful!"

Candle Dragon and the other elders warned. These eight ancient clansmen were very strong, not much weaker than them. Moreover, the ancient clans were inherently powerful; at the same level, few among the myriad races could match them.

But the moment they said that, they deeply regretted it.

Because the next scene left them completely dumbfounded.

Lin Fan looked at the eight ancient clansmen—they were at the Great Perfection of the Desolate Heaven realm.

If it had been before, he might have had to use some tricks.

But now, that was unnecessary.

He had overdosed on pills, skyrocketing two levels in cultivation, reaching the high stage of the Desolate Heaven realm.

Despair City had existed for a thousand years, and the Despair Marquis had accumulated countless pills to fill his inner emptiness.

To ordinary people, these pills were supreme treasures, needing slow digestion even when taken. But to Lin Fan, these pills were all experience.

He swallowed them in one gulp, the system refined them, and countless experience points boosted him, breaking through major cultivation barriers and rising two levels.

So, are you scared?

"Overreaching yourselves." Lin Fan snorted coldly. His five fingers formed a claw, tearing through the void as a surge of immense power erupted.

The mighty force gathered continuously, and a giant hand descended from the sky, blotting out the sun, carrying infinite destructive power, reaching for the eight ancient clansmen.

"How can this be?" At that moment, the eight ancient clansmen's faces stiffened, their eyes filled with terror.

In their eyes, this human, whom they had regarded as an ant, had suddenly become so towering. The might of that claw sealed off all the void around them—no escape, no evasion.

"Young master, save us..." The eight ancient clansmen screamed in agony.

Crack.

The giant hand directly grabbed the eight ancient clansmen and squeezed hard.

In the blink of an eye, without any chance to resist, the eight ancient clansmen were crushed, their black blood splattering across heaven and earth.

"Ding, congratulations on killing an ancient clansman at the Great Perfection of the Desolate Heaven realm."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 50,000 experience."

...

Eight system notifications sounded in Lin Fan's mind.

In an instant, 400,000 experience was in hand. In Lin Fan's view, aside from taking pills, nothing was faster than killing ancient clansmen.

Lin Fan never showed mercy to the ancient clans; he killed them on sight, turning them all into experience.

And now, with tens of thousands of eyes fixed on him, Lin Fan naturally wanted to put on a good show—crushing everything with absolute dominance, so that the beings of the myriad races would forever remember his name.

"Hmph, mere Great Perfection of the Desolate Heaven realm, and you dare act presumptuously before me?" Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, exuding dominance as he stared straight at Gu Xiao. "You can come now."

At that moment, everyone from the six great sects was stunned, their eyes wide as if they might pop out.

Great Perfection of the Desolate Heaven realm—defeated in one move? This was too terrifying.

To the people of the six great sects, those eight ancient clansmen were invincible existences. Even Elder Candle Dragon and the others wouldn't dare claim they could defeat them.

If they were at their peak, perhaps they could have killed those eight ancient clansmen at the Great Perfection of the Desolate Heaven realm by outnumbering them, but the cost would have been severe.

The beings of the myriad races stood there, mouths agape, staring at Lin Fan floating in the void with excitement.

"I am the Human Emperor, Lin Fan. Today, I will slay all you ancient clansmen. Do you have any objections?" Lin Fan clasped his hands behind his back, his expression calm as he looked straight at Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao's expression stiffened; he was speechless.

But for the beings of the myriad races, it was a sudden burst of jubilation.

"Long live the Human Emperor!"

"We beg the Human Emperor for protection!"

"I, Hong Yun of the Ghost Clan, am willing to follow the Human Emperor's lead!"

"We too are willing to follow the Human Emperor's lead!"

At that moment, the beings of the myriad races wanted to cling to Lin Fan's thigh, pledging their allegiance to him from then on.
