Chapter 309: This Is a Very Normal Operation
The Dragon Emperor harbors such hatred for the Sky Dragon Clan, there must have been grievances between them in his youth.
Any Demon, upon stepping into the Longevity Realm, can choose to become part of the Demon Clan or remain a Demon.
Now, he faces the four Demon Emperors.
If anyone were to find out, it would surely cause a massive upheaval.
Is this something even humanly possible?
Anyone with even a shred of sanity would avoid coming here, for this is a terrifying matter—people will die, and die miserably.
"Come on, either I die today, or you die." The aura exuding from Lin Fan had already reached its peak. Magnificent like a dragon, with the Heavenly Vault trembling, he had already brought a huge impact to the Northern Desolation's Demons.
He beckoned to the four Demon Emperors, his actions provoking them, as if mocking them outright.
The Dragon Emperor roared, his dragon claw tearing through the Void, exuding a terrifying might. In an instant, it appeared before Lin Fan. Yet Lin Fan remained completely motionless. As the dragon claw drew near, instead of executing his Divine Skills, he swung a fierce punch forward.
Boom!
The Human Clan fist collided with the Demon Dragon Emperor claw.
The shockwave from their battle spread out, forming brilliant rays of light that enveloped the heavens and earth.
The surrounding mountains, trees, and lands were pulverized by the impact, turning to ash and disappearing completely.
The Heavenly Eagle Dragon flapped its wings, unveiling claws sharp enough to shred the Sky Dragon, striking towards Lin Fan. Its speed was incredibly swift, resembling a streak of brilliant light that vanished in an instant.
The Snow Plain Lion King roared, unleashing ice-elemental Great Divine Power that was Heaven-and-Earth transcending. Extreme cold Mana formed a lethal strike, covering the Heavenly Vault, even freezing the heavens above.
In the blink of an eye.
The four Demon Emperors attacked in unison. It was an unstoppable force, insurmountable for anyone, even Lin Fan. But Lin Fan relied on the unyielding breath within his heart.
He unleashed the dozen Divine Skills he mastered, every single one cultivated to perfection.
These were Divine Skills imbued with the 'Dao'.
"Impressive! Who would've thought you cultivated Divine Skills to such heights? No wonder you dared to act recklessly in the Northern Desolation. But this? It's far from sufficient."
The Dragon Emperor roared, though he spoke dismissively. In truth, his heart didn't match his words. A world-shaking Human Clan powerhouse must be slain—able to cultivate so many Divine Skills to such terrifying levels.
Almost inconceivable.
Lin Fan executed his Innate Divine Ability and appeared instantly before the Dragon Emperor, landing a punch directly on the Dragon Emperor's back. Boom! A deafening sound shook the Heavenly Vault.
The Dragon Emperor's scale armor, immensely tough like a Dao Artifact, proved the sheer strength of the Demon's physical body—unparalleled, far surpassing the Demon Clan.
Even the Sky Dragon Clan needed to cultivate the Ancestor Dragon Floating Body to enhance their physical form.
But the Demons required no such thing.
Suddenly.
A dragon tail swept over like a whip, striking Lin Fan with immense force and sending him flying into the distance. The Dragon Emperor felt the sting, and so did Lin Fan.
However, having cultivated the Ancestor Dragon Floating Body to the highest level, Lin Fan's physique was as sturdy as a Dao Artifact, his internal Mana trembling briefly before quickly settling.
However, there was no time for rest.
The other three Demon Emperors unleashed an assault as relentless as a storm.
They grew stronger through combat, boasting rich battle experience and countless tactics. A single misstep could mean defeat.
"Nice try!"
Lin Fan bellowed, executing his Hell Netherworld technique. The atmosphere became much darker—a sinister aura spread through the heavens and earth, materializing into various phenomena.
"Kill!"
The Hell Netherworld was an underestimated Great Divine Power.
It could connect Hell, manifest its horrors—potentially allowing the wielder to become the Hell Master, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Yet, even with fifteen thousand years of cultivated Mana, Lin Fan couldn't achieve this.
Swish!
Swish!
The essence of Hell condensed into the Hell Spear, the Naihe Bridge, and ten Yama Palaces—all trembling wildly as they combined into a peerless killing strike.
Boom!
The Heavenly Vault quaked, forming storms capable of annihilating everything.
An ordinary person trapped within this storm would be completely shredded apart, lacking any ability to resist.
For the four Demon Emperors.
They hadn't expected this Human Clan cultivator to be so daunting.
He exceeded their predictions.
The Nine-headed Demon Ape roared savagely, hammering its chest with both hands. This fight left him incredibly agitated. A mere Human Clan cultivator dared to compete with him in physical strength—this damned man wasn't even taking him seriously.
As for the Snow Plain Lion King, this Human cultivator's understanding of Divine Skills amazed him.
At this moment.
Lin Fan summoned the Mixed Element Golden Gourd, unleashing boundless golden light over the heavens and earth.
"This treasure..."
"Immortal Treasure. It's an Immortal Treasure!"
The four Demon Emperors, upon seeing the artifact, had fiery gazes—as if laying eyes on something of incomparable value.
They all coveted it.
"Die already."
Lin Fan swung the Mixed Element Golden Gourd, smashing it towards his opponents.
The Nine-headed Demon Ape roared, producing a pitch-black iron rod from its hand. Its aura was formidable, exuding violent dominance as it collided fiercely with the Mixed Element Golden Gourd.
Boom!
Brilliant light burst forth. When the two treasures clashed, rippling waves spread outward, even freezing spacetime momentarily before surging rapidly in all directions.
The Nine-headed Demon Ape was sent flying backward, its massive arms trembling, the iron rod vibrating with a humming noise. In that clash, it suffered a disadvantage.
"Golden River Dragon Transformation!"
Lin Fan activated the Mixed Element Golden Gourd, and a roaring Golden River emerged, pressing down fiercely on the four Demon Emperors. To them, opponents wielding Immortal Treasure were indeed difficult to contend with.
The power bursting forth from it was undeniably that of the Immortal Treasure.
Though Lin Fan hadn't fully refined the Immortal Treasure.
Its current power was already terrifyingly overwhelming.
"Damn it! You really think possessing an Immortal Treasure makes you invincible?"
The Dragon Emperor was indignant as he roared. His dragon cry echoed through the heavens, releasing Demon aura. Suddenly, a Dragon Ball appeared in the sky. As it emerged, the Demon aura from a radius of tens of thousands of miles surged toward it, intertwining around the Dragon Ball.
The Dragon Ball was the Dragon Emperor's essential core.
A double-edged sword.
It was tied to the Dragon Emperor's foundation but also held immense power. Though it paled compared to the Immortal Treasure, the Dragon Ball had been nurtured over millennia, even surpassing top-tier Dao Artifacts.
At this moment.
The Dragon Ball descended from above, crushing fiercely as it collided with the Mixed Element Golden Gourd.
With a thunderous crash, a deafening roar reverberated across the heavens and earth.
The entirety of creation seemed on the verge of collapse.
Blood spilled from the Dragon Emperor's mouth, his expression growing even more crazed.
Initially, Lin Fan underestimated the four Demon Emperors. But now, there was no room for underestimation. They were unquestionably strong. His analysis revealed their immense Mana reserves and mastery of countless Divine Skills. If he could slay them, the rewards would be earth-shattering.
However, slaying a Demon Emperor seemed improbable.
It wouldn't be easy at all.
Days passed.
The battle raged on.
Both the four Demon Emperors and Lin Fan appeared more battered.
Lin Fan landed a punch directly onto the Snow Plain Lion King, blasting a bloody hole into its body, blood gushing forth. Just then, the Heavenly Eagle Dragon struck, a cold gleam flashing.
With a pfft sound.
Lin Fan's arm was severed entirely.
"Hmph, Human Clan cultivator, you think you're invincible just because you have an Immortal Treasure? You're gravely mistaken."
The Heavenly Eagle Dragon's claws shimmered with cold light, seemingly infused with some mysterious substance.
It was an ancient material obtained from an old Cave Mansion—a treasure left behind by a certain Immortal.
Lin Fan frowned slightly; it hurt, his wound gushing blood.
"Well done, Heavenly Eagle brother. Nice move!" The Dragon Emperor exclaimed joyfully, surprised that the Heavenly Eagle Dragon had such methods. He hadn't anticipated this hidden technique.
If not for this fight against the Human Clan cultivator.
He might never have known.
At this moment.
The Dragon Emperor eyed Lin Fan standing in the distance, his arm bleeding profusely, and sneered, "How about now? In your current state, what will you do next?"
Lin Fan stared at his severed arm, somewhat helpless, "What's to be done? Fighting beasts means getting bitten; but it's okay, it's not a big deal."
As those words fell.
He activated his Innate Divine Ability.
Blood and flesh wriggled from his severed arm, sprouting numerous budding shoots, and shortly after, a brand-new arm grew out.
"What?"
"Impossible!"
The four Demon Emperors froze in shock upon seeing this unfold. To them, this was utterly unbelievable—far beyond comprehension.
"You..."
They couldn't fathom how his arm could regenerate.
Limb Regeneration was a celestial-level Innate Divine Ability.
It was something Lin Fan had exploded from the corpse of a weak Demon.
Never underestimate weak demons; they might drop extremely powerful Innate Divine Abilities.
"For mighty Demons, is something this trivial really so astonishing?"
"Limb Regeneration is nothing remarkable, quite a simple feat."
Lin Fan remained unaffected.
He knew slaying the four Demon emperors before him would be difficult—a one-versus-four situation left him in a stalemate. Without his Innate Divine Abilities, he wouldn't have lasted this far.
A series of Innate Divine Abilities sustained him in this battle against the four Demon Emperors.
Quick Recovery, Limb Regeneration, Brilliance, and others.
The Dragon Emperor exchanged glances with the other three Demon Emperors.
They communicated silently.
Having fought this long, unable to subdue the Human Clan cultivator, impatience crept into their hearts. Should this continue, who knows when the battle might end?
Huff!
Lin Fan inhaled deeply, "Come on, the true fight is only just beginning."
As soon as his words fell.
He vanished from sight.
In an instant.
A golden light radiated across the Heavenly Vault, the melodious sounds of Buddha reverberating through the world. Shortly after, a golden hand descended from the sky.
Covering an area of hundreds of miles.
"Damn this golden light."
The four Demon Emperors detested such radiance. The Nine-headed Demon Ape bellowed in frustration, roaring loudly, bending its knees slightly before leaping upward with explosive force, sending fissures across the ground. A towering figure shot skyward, swinging its iron rod toward the Buddha Hand.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed.
The Nine-headed Demon Ape, a peak powerhouse among Demons, possessed monstrous strength. Its tremendous power and cultivation journey were defined by finding enlightenment through sheer physical prowess.
Lin Fan wielded the Mixed Element Golden Gourd, injecting Mana power, and delivered a mighty overhead strike. Crack! The Void couldn't withstand the pressure, fracturing entirely as a golden brilliance surged violently out of the Gourd.
Instantly, the golden light enveloped this realm.
After a while.
The golden light dispersed.
The Nine-headed Demon Ape crashed into the ground, now reduced to having only eight heads—one of its heads was half-shattered, looking utterly gruesome.
"Roar!"
A surge of unbearable pain consumed its body, forcing the Nine-headed Demon Ape to rise again with a vicious howl. Its bloodshot eyes locked onto Lin Fan, who floated midair, bathed in golden light.
