Chapter 76: Crazy Leveling Up

At this moment, Lin Fan held his breath, watching the situation before him, ready to strike without hesitation as soon as the opportunity arose.

This male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros wanted to conquer the female, so it had to suppress her. But now, the Blazing Sky Rhinoceros whose fate Lin Fan had reversed was fighting more fiercely. How could he let it succeed? He himself was a male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros—what was wrong with this brother of his?

The battle grew increasingly intense. Both Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses were covered in wounds. The one whose yin and yang Lin Fan had reversed was now being firmly suppressed by the other, as if it would soon suffer the most painful thing in the world.

Lin Fan kept waiting, praying in his heart: hurry up. He waited for the most critical moment to take down both Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses decisively.

Just then, the female Blazing Sky Rhinoceros let out a miserable cry, its hind legs buckling as the male mounted it.

Though battered and bruised, the male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros was still extremely excited, fighting more bravely as its massive body trembled continuously, reaching a state of ecstasy.

"Roar..."

At that moment, the male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros suddenly roared to the sky, its originally ferocious face suddenly showing a human-like expression of pleasure.

The opportunity had come.

Lin Fan had no time to pay attention to these matters. In his invisible state, his figure moved like the wind. The divine brick artifact appeared in his hand, and he smacked it against the heads of both Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses.

The male Blazing Sky Rhinoceros, immersed in pleasure, hadn't yet recovered from the sensation when Lin Fan knocked it unconscious.

Seeing the two Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses lying motionless, a slight smile curled at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth. It had worked.

Invisibility, Reversal of Fortune, and the divine brick—all three were indispensable.

Lin Fan took out the Purple Frost Sword and harvested the lives of the two Blazing Sky Rhinoceroses. This was the Sunset Forest, and Lin Fan didn't want to linger too long in case of accidents. Having stumbled upon such a stroke of luck, he couldn't stay any longer.

"Ding, congratulations on killing the rank-two Divine Entry beast Blazing Sky Rhinoceros. Experience +10,000,000."

"Ding, dropped Blazing Sky Rhinoceros's Lifeblood."

"Blazing Sky Rhinoceros's Lifeblood: After consumption, enters a berserk state, gains the Blazing Sky Rhinoceros's innate flame, Abyssal Black Flame. Side effects unknown."

"Ding, congratulations on killing the rank-two Divine Entry beast Blazing Sky Rhinoceros. Experience +10,000,000."

"Ding, dropped Blazing Sky Rhinoceros's Lifeblood."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up."

The series of prompts left Lin Fan somewhat dumbfounded.

Then Lin Fan opened his personal panel. He had leveled up three times in a row and was now at the ninth level of the Innate realm.

"Ding, cultivation has hit a bottleneck. Experience required increased to 100,000,000."

When his cultivation reached the ninth level of the Innate realm, the next step was the Divine Entry realm. Although his bottleneck wasn't as absurd as others' thanks to the system, 100,000,000 experience was still an astronomical figure.

It seemed that if he wanted to enter the Divine Entry realm, he would need more training.

The Blazing Sky Rhinoceros was considered one of the fiercer beasts on the beast ranking list, mainly due to its berserk nature. Once it entered a berserk state, it would fight to the death with its enemy.

Lin Fan looked at the two drops of crimson blood in his backpack. Perhaps they might come in handy in the future, but he hoped he would never have to use them.

At this moment, the smell of blood spread around. Lin Fan didn't linger. He used his movement technique to continue on his way, hoping to safely reach the sect and inform the sect leader of the conspiracy between the Yan Emperor and the other sects.

Traveling through the night, when tired he would rest on the spot, and after recovering his true essence, continue on his way. Along the road, Lin Fan encountered many fierce beasts, but he paid them no heed, unwilling to waste a single moment.

Only when encountering a sufficiently powerful beast would Lin Fan stop to harvest it. But encountering two Blazing Sky Rhinos was already extremely lucky; beasts at the Divine Entry realm lived deep in the Sunset Forest, and encountering them in this area truly depended on luck.

Two days later.

When Lin Fan caught sight of the nine towering peaks that pierced the clouds, a glimmer of anticipation arose in his heart. Soon he would see his familiar fellow disciples. He wondered what expressions they would have when they saw him alive and kicking before them.

His feigned death and safe return were fraught with suspicion, but considering the gravity of the matter he had to report, Lin Fan no longer cared.

Moreover, twisting the truth was Lin Fan's forte; he figured the problem shouldn't be too great.

Passing by the grave his senior brothers had once prepared for him, Lin Fan stopped. On that black stone tablet was engraved his name.

And below his name were the names of his senior brothers.

Ni Mingyang, Yin Mochen.

Within the sect, they were the ones closest to him.

Regardless, Lin Fan had to inform the sect of the Yan Emperor's conspiracy. At the same time, Lin Fan hoped his senior brothers could survive this calamity, for their cultivation was too low. If the Yan Emperor allied with other sects to attack, his two senior brothers would surely lose their lives.

Seeing the fresh offerings on the grave, it seemed his senior brothers had visited him recently.

Thinking about it, Lin Fan felt a surge of emotion, on the verge of tears. To have lived to such an extent, he had truly gained something—to be remembered even after death.

At the entrance to the Sacred Demon Sect's mountain gate, two outer disciples guarded the exit down the mountain. Just then, they saw someone rushing over from afar and sternly demanded, "Halt! Who goes there?"

"Two junior brothers, I am Lin Fan, an outer disciple. I have an important matter to report to the Sect Master. Please let me pass," Lin Fan said.

"Do you have a token?" The two scrutinized Lin Fan carefully, their vigilance heightened. This person's origins were unclear, and he carried no Sacred Demon Sect disciple token.

Lin Fan sighed. How could he possibly have such a token? Not wanting to say more, he flickered and charged straight inside.

"Stop!" The two disciples were startled that this villain dared to force his way into the Holy Demon Sect, and immediately struck a huge iron bell nearby.

"Boom..."

The bell's sound was vast as the ocean, spreading across all nine peaks.

Outer and inner disciples were going about their daily lives; hearing the bell from the mountain, their expressions shifted slightly.

"The disciples at the foot have struck the iron bell—could something have happened?"

Everyone was astonished, unsure what was happening. This was the Holy Demon Sect—could some villain really dare to break in?

Lin Fan heard the bell but charged upward without changing expression. This was fine; it saved him the trouble of finding people.

"Villain, stop right there!" As Lin Fan reached the mountain peak, a cold gleam suddenly appeared.

"Senior brother, I'm on your side." Lin Fan wasn't here to fight; he needed to report important matters to the sect.

Fourth level of the Xiantian realm.

This man was an inner disciple. Generally, in the Holy Demon Sect, those who reached the Xiantian realm entered the inner sect; few remained in the outer sect.

The inner disciple was astonished that this villain caught his blade with a bare hand. He roared, his aura surging.

"Villain, daring to break into the Holy Demon Sect deserves death!" The inner disciple bellowed in fury, trying to shred Lin Fan's hand, but even with his true essence pushed to the limit, the long blade held by Lin Fan wouldn't budge.

"Senior brother, I'll help you!" Disciples watching nearby, seeing that the senior brother seemed unable to subdue the villain, also charged forward.

"Don't go too far!" Lin Fan was getting annoyed. He had come here to save them, risking his life—was this how they treated their benefactor?
