Chapter 960: Living in the Secret Realm All Along

"Hehehe..."

Lin Fan still held these supreme powerhouses in contempt. The moment Pangu the Primordial arrived, they all cowered. If they had actually fought, he might have respected them as true men, but now? Hehehe.

"Brother Pangu, what exactly are these two stone doors?" Since the Water-Fire Emperor wouldn't say, he had to ask Pangu the Primordial.

After all, what Pangu the Primordial knew might not be less than what the Water-Fire Emperor knew.

"These two stone doors have existed for a very long time, even longer than we have. We have always known of their existence, but we never knew what lay behind them."

"When we awakened in this era, all supreme powerhouses received a message in our minds: to transcend, one must enter these stone doors. And these doors, which had never been opened before, would open at this moment. As for what lies beyond, no one knows." said Pangu the Primordial.

Lin Fan listened to what Pangu the Primordial said and became curious for a moment.

Could it really be that miraculous?

Perhaps only by entering these stone doors could one know what lay behind them.

Crack!

Just then, a loud noise rang out. The rough divine chain coiled around the stone doors suddenly began to slide.

Each slide was like heaven and earth splitting apart.

Gulp!

Lin Fan swallowed his saliva, feeling a bit nervous. He always maintained a vigilant attitude toward the unknown.

"Watch out, the stone doors are about to open." Pangu the Primordial exclaimed.

The many supreme powerhouses and demons all stared at the stone doors with vigilance.

The divine chain turned, slowly unwinding from the stone doors. In an instant, the unsealed doors suddenly burst forth a shockwave.

The powerful shockwave soared into the sky, forcing many supreme powerhouses to step back violently.

"Such strong power." Lin Fan's heart grew heavy. A mere stone door possessed such power—it was simply inconceivable.

Creak!

The stone door, which had been completely still, suddenly began to tremble, as if the endless dust accumulated on its surface was gently shaking, causing heaven and earth to quake.

Even from a mere crack, one could sense the aura emanating from behind the stone door.

Corrosion, antiquity, profundity.

Crack! Crack!

In a short time, the stone door burst open, revealing an unknown side, pitch black like a curtain of light, like the Milky Way.

"It's open. Enter."

The many supreme beings did not wait; in an instant, they transformed into streaks of rainbow light, vanishing into the endless void, piercing through the stone door, and entering that unknown side.

"Let's go too," said Pangu the Primordial.

"Be careful," said the Water-Fire Emperor to Lin Fan.

"Mm, you too," Lin Fan replied.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a thousand streaks of rainbow light soared into the sky, diving into the stone door.

In an instant, outside the stone door, there was utter silence, so quiet that no one knew what lay within.

The moment he entered the stone door, Lin Fan opened his eyes.

Around him was like a passageway; he searched for Pangu and the Water-Fire Emperor but did not see them.

"What place is this?" Lin Fan wondered in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Fan saw a glimmer of light.

"That's the exit." Without any hesitation, Lin Fan accelerated and swiftly entered the point of light.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene around him left Lin Fan dumbfounded.

"Where is this?"

Surrounding him were mountains, along with hellish magma volcanoes, icy snow-covered lands, and a terrifying abyss.

At a glance, four different environments.

At the same time, there was no one around. Even when he extended his divine sense, Lin Fan felt as if it were somehow restricted, unable to fully spread out.

What the hell is this place?

Lin Fan was extremely curious, and then began searching aimlessly.

Where are the treasures? The divine objects? The key to transcendence?

None of that existed.

Lin Fan even felt that they might have been tricked.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Fan had no idea where he had walked to.

Suddenly, a fierce beast roared out from beneath the ground. This beast was something Lin Fan had never seen before—three heads, each as if scorched in flames, bright red, and especially its three pairs of purple eyes, which blazed with ferocity.

Divine Heaven rank, eighth level.

"Damn, a random creature like this actually has such strength." Lin Fan was astonished, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Rustle, rustle!

Just as Lin Fan was lost in thought, the earth trembled violently, and one fierce beast after another climbed up from the abyss.

Dense, vast, countless.

"Holy shit, this is supposed to be a secret realm? It's way too insane."

Lin Fan suddenly noticed that among these beasts, quite a few had reached the tenth level of Divine Heaven rank.

How is this possible? How can mere beasts be so powerful?

Just as Lin Fan was about to suppress these beasts, the tallest one lowered its noble head and prostrated itself before Lin Fan.

"What do you mean? You want me to stand on you?" Lin Fan was puzzled. Was that the idea?

To Lin Fan's astonishment, the beast actually nodded.

Now Lin Fan was amused. How interesting—these beasts actually understood his words, and even wanted him to stand on its head.

How strange.

Then Lin Fan leaped up and jumped directly onto the beast's head.

"Not bad." Lin Fan patted the beast's head.

Roar!

The beast let out a fierce roar, expressing its loyalty.

Boom! Boom!

The vast horde of beasts marched forward, the earth trembling. Lin Fan didn't know where they were taking him.

But his heart was filled with boundless joy.

Could it be that these beasts thought he was too handsome and were taking him to find treasures?

Other than that explanation, Lin Fan really couldn't think of another.

After a long time.

Lin Fan was almost falling asleep when suddenly the heavens and earth shook ahead, as if a battle was taking place.

At that moment, Lin Fan opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, wondering what was happening there.

…

A group of elegantly dressed men and women, with serious expressions, floated in the void.

A man held a sword horizontally, unleashing a tremendous sword intent, slaying all the beasts before him. Then he opened his five fingers, and cores flew out from the beasts' bodies.

"The fire spirit power of these Abyssal Flame Beasts is indeed abundant. If we kill another ten thousand, we can refine a Fire Spirit Pill." The man had a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother. This secret realm has existed for a long time and is full of treasures. We are grateful to you for allowing us to enter this time." A woman said respectfully.

"It's nothing. This secret realm has been plundered countless times by powerful cultivators. What remains are only ordinary things, but even so, they are enough for our use." The man said.

"Senior Brother, legend has it that this secret realm was formed from the body of the fallen New Harvest Heavenly Lord. I wonder which powerful figure took the Heavenly Lord's heart."

"Those are just rumors. Heavenly Lords are elusive and ethereal; even the sect has no records. If this really were a secret realm formed from a fallen Heavenly Lord's body, it would have long been claimed by the great powers of the age. Let's focus on killing these Abyssal Flame Beasts. Too many sects have entered this time; if we're slow, we won't gather anything." The man said.

"Oh, there are more Abyssal Flame Beasts ahead. Truly, when you lack something, it comes."
