The war of the White Bird Alliance is being watched by all sides.

Countless True Immortal powers are secretly tracking the progress of this matter, waiting to intervene once the Three-Fingers Old Demon and the White Bird Alliance settle their scores, intending to profit from it.

The vast majority of True Immortal powers believe that the Three-Fingers Old Demon and the White Bird Alliance will be both severely injured, or at least, the Three-Fingers Old Demon won’t win easily, given the foundation of the White Bird Alliance.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Three-Fingers Old Demon nearly single-handedly slaughtered the White Bird Alliance, in an unstoppable manner, shocking the world with his powerful rise.

Even more startling, the mighty Rain Immortal Monarch coincidentally returned to the Eastern Heaven on the eve of the White Bird Alliance’s destruction, and coincidentally appeared in the White Bird Starfield, easily striking down the unfortunate Three-Fingers Old Demon.

All the True Immortal powers who used secret techniques to investigate the place were stunned!

One piece of information after another was swiftly transmitted throughout the entire Eastern Heaven by various means!

The Rain Monarch has returned and has even killed an Eternal Immortal Venerable, exuding immense power!

For the Eastern Heaven, the death of an Eternal Immortal Venerable is a significant event that will attract the attention of countless powers, almost ranking it as another major upheaval in the Eastern Heaven.

Thus, the demon prestige of Rain Immortal Monarch in the Eastern Heaven has invisibly increased. A person’s name casts a long shadow; when Ning Fan crossed the starry sky on the Wuxian Cloud, creating a huge stir, none of the forces he passed dared to stop him, all keeping silent for fear of angering him.

Because news has spread throughout the Eastern Heaven, declaring that this powerful figure who’s crossing the starry sky is Ning Fan, an existence so terrifying he can instantly kill an Eternal Immortal Venerable at first sight!

Ning Fan further used an Ice Rain Technique to inform the Qianqiu Sect and Godly Void Pavilion of his return. Hence when Ning Fan rode the cloud back to the Godly Void Pavilion, there were already Divine Void Cultivators led by the little demoness waiting there in the star realm.

The little demoness now has adapted to the enhancement in cultivation brought by the Zi relic, eagerly looking to the sky to await Ning Fan’s return.

Moreover, due to Xiang Mingzi’s order, the Shenhao Twin Emperors had to dispatch two Immortal Kings, directly taking orders from the little demoness, becoming her exclusive bodyguards. After all, the little demoness’s status now is different, being the Chief Hall Master of the Divine Void Four Pavilions and deeply respected by Xiang Mingzi, her status surpassing some Immortal Kings within the Godly Void Pavilion, making it unsurprising for her to have Immortal Kings accompany her for protection.

The two Immortal Kings responsible for guarding the little demoness are a couple, known as the Lamp-Lit Couple, who joined the Godly Void Pavilion as Guest Elders just six months ago. The man is a scholarly young man dressed in black, possessing the powerful cultivation of the Ten Thousand Ages Fourth Calamity, with extraordinarily handsome features but a cold demeanor, rarely smiling or conversing, using an ancient lamp of unknown origin as a magical treasure, known as the Ancient Lamp Immortal King, having long ceased using his common name; the woman, a beautiful lady in an ink-green palace dress, is said to be of non-human origin, having attained the Dao as a variant banana plant, known as the Banana Palm Fairy, harmoniously united with the Ancient Lamp Immortal King, having just broken through the Calamity of Eternal Aeons a few million years ago as an Immortal King.

This couple, due to needing to constantly guard the journey of the little demoness, were also present with her at this moment, waiting for Ning Fan’s return.

For the task of guarding the little demoness, they had no major objections, considering it an inherent responsibility of any Divine Void Cultivator, as she is the Chief Hall Master after all. Building a good rapport with the little demoness also aided their initial establishment in the Godly Void Pavilion.

But making these two great Immortal Kings wait patiently in the chill of the starry crossing for Ning Fan’s return caused some discontent.

In their eyes, no matter how notorious Ning Fan’s demon name had become, he was still just an Eternal Immortal Venerable, so it seemed a bit beneath them, as Immortal Kings, to welcome merely an Immortal Venerable.

Even if rumors suggested that Ning Fan and the little demoness had long harbored romantic feelings and Ning Fan had won Xiang Mingzi’s favor, they felt somewhat unbalanced, believing this act diminished their standing, yet they dared not leave the little demoness alone to wait for Ning Fan.

"I say, Chief Hallmaster’s little sister, you just received the news from the White Bird Starfield and rushed to the edge of the Divine Void Starry Sky to wait for the Rain Monarch. Isn’t it too early? You should know that the White Bird Starfield is several thousand star spans away from here. Even if your dear lover rushed back at full speed, it would take him quite some days to return. After all, he’s only an Eternal Immortal Venerable and limited in flight speed. We might be idling here for quite a few days," the Banana Palm Fairy voiced her complaint.

"The lady is right. Even for this king, rushing back at full speed from such a distance would take at least three days. Given Rain Monarch’s speed, it, by the least, would be five to six days, and any delays on the way might take ten days to half a month," the Ancient Lamp Immortal King frowned slighting, mentioning Ning Fan with a hint of disdain.

"Sorry for the trouble of waiting here with me, Little Fan Fan. If you two don’t wish to wait, you can go back, and others needn’t stay here to protect me intentionally either. I can wait here alone for him. The situation with the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor is worsening, and he has now turned to smoke...I worry about how he’ll react when he hears this news...I want to tell him this bad news personally," the little demoness said anxiously.

Hearing this, the Lamp-Lit Couple sighed.

They sighed over the fact that the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor was nearing extinction, which was no longer a secret within the Godly Void Pavilion, or even throughout the Eastern Heaven...

So what if he ran rampant in ancient times or ranked among the top ten Immortal Emperors in the Zi Dou Immortal Domain? Once dead, a lifetime’s renown would become dust; we cultivators should indeed seize the day.

"Once the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor perishes, Rain Monarch as his inheritor might face even harder times. The Dark Clan’s war decree is already out. Whether your dear lover accepts the battle doesn’t matter... I think the Chief Hall Master should sever ties with the Rain Monarch sooner, perhaps even persuade Senior Xiang not to gamble the foundation of Godly Void Pavilion so, lightly. I really don’t understand why Senior Xiang places so much importance on a little Immortal Venerable, risking everything of the Godly Void Pavilion to oppose such a lofty Dark Clan. This isn’t a wise move," the Banana Palm Fairy complained further.

Before joining the Godly Void Pavilion, the couple did not know the extent of the pavilion’s unwavering support for Ning Fan.

Upon joining, they realized that due to Xiang Mingzi’s order, the entire Godly Void Pavilion would bet everything to protect Ning Fan, even standing against the Dark Clan openly, and they wouldn’t waver.

They had just wanted to find a sturdy tree to shelter under by joining the Godly Void Pavilion, but now it seemed the tree they found wasn’t that robust and intended to confront the colossal Dark Clan, seeming like a path to self-destruction.

Joining the Godly Void Pavilion appeared to be a mistake, yet once involved, extracting themselves wasn’t easy, so they had no choice but to brace themselves and continue.

At this moment, they hoped Xiang Mingzi might have a change of heart, quit opposing the Dark Clan, and cease his protection of Ning Fan. This hope wasn’t just theirs, but the hope of countless cultivators within the Godly Void Pavilion too.

Inside the Godly Void Pavilion, from the Shenhao Twin Emperors down to ordinary members, the vast majority didn’t wish to take the risk of annihilation for the sake of Ning Fan alone, to pursue an endless feud with such a massive entity as the Dark Clan.

Sadly, the person holding the greatest sway in the Godly Void Pavilion was Xiang Mingzi, and his decisions were beyond others’ direct interference despite being open to persuasion...

"The Chief Hall Master truly should take this into consideration! There are countless fine men in the world, why let yourself be tied to this one tree alone? Moreover, this tree is dying; maintaining relations with him is unwise. Although the Chief Hall Master has already committed to him, for us immortals, such details matter little. As long as the Chief Hall Master wishes, I am sure there are many promising men within the four pavilions willing to replace this man and become your Daoist partner. If you persist in maintaining tenuous ties with this man, and if the Dark Clan..."

"Enough! You two need not continue to persuade. Both I and Senior Xiang have made our decisions, and we don’t need you interfering in our thoughts. Particularly me, I am already prepared to die at the hands of the Dark Clan. If I die alongside him, I will have no regrets! Of course, I don’t wish for you to be buried with us. Should it truly come to a life-and-death struggle between Little Fan Fan and the Dark Clan, I can request Senior Xiang to allow you to leave the Godly Void Pavilion for refuge!"

"This..." They were wordless momentarily; truly leaving the Godly Void Pavilion was a reluctant thought after the couple had gained many benefits from Xiang Mingzi since joining...

Swoosh! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Suddenly, a sound of a cloud slicing through the void came from beyond countless stars.

The little demoness immediately became joyful; amidst that void-piercing sound, a white-robed figure rapidly approached, riding billowing black clouds!

"Unbelievable! Little Fan Fan has returned so swiftly from the White Bird Starfield! It’s only been a few hours..." the little demoness smiled, squinting her eyes.

"Indeed, his speed returning from the White Bird Starfield is...too fast!"

The Lamp-Lit Couple was shocked, their previous return time estimates clearly mistaken.

When their gaze landed on the Wuxian Cloud beneath Ning Fan’s feet, their expressions changed further, showing disbelief.

Despite Ning Fan’s concealment, ordinary people might not immediately recognize the rank of the Wuxian Cloud, but with their sight, they easily perceived that this was an innate-ranked treasure!

No wonder Ning Fan could cross thousands of galaxies with just a few hours... An Innate Escape Treasure, quite a grand gesture! Even an Immortal Emperor might not have such a high-grade flight treasure!

Then, the two of them turned their gazes towards Ning Fan himself.

Initially, they somewhat looked down on Ning Fan, an arrogance befitting Immortal Kings. Yet when they met Ning Fan’s gaze, their eyes suddenly felt a relentless pain, as if pricked by needles, unable to look him straight in the eye!

What a fierce gaze! To render even Immortal Kings unable to meet his eyes!

Such a fierce gaze, not even some Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperors possess, why does this Rain Sovereign have such a commanding aura!

Even after hearing that Ning Fan easily took out the Three-Fingers Old Demon, the duo wouldn’t have been fazed. But now, their hearts are stirring with tumultuous waves.

This Rain Monarch is definitely not as simple as the rumors suggest!

"Were you waiting for me here?" Ning Fan withdrew the sharpness from his expression, turned to the little demoness, smiled as he flew closer, picked the little demoness onto his Immortal Clouds, and gently stroked her hair, his affectionate gesture unreserved even among the surrounding Divine Void Cultivators.

Suddenly, sounds of friendly laughter, whistles, and coughs broke out around them. It seemed everyone welcomed the little demoness, this Chief Hall Master, quite favorably...

Even the cunning little demoness blushed at this moment, rolled her eyes at Ning Fan in mock annoyance, before recalling the matter of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor. For a moment, she felt vexed, unsure how to broach the topic with Ning Fan, her expression conflicted.

Ning Fan understood what the little demoness wanted to say, and sighed, "Don’t worry about me, I already know about the matter with the Chaotic Ancient Master. Let’s not discuss this for now; I’ll handle it myself. As for these two Daoists... It seems they’re trying to find you a new Dao companion. Haha, do you not think it’s rather intrusive to meddle in someone else’s romantic affairs?"

Ning Fan’s gaze turned towards the Lamp-Lit Couple, his eyes once again sharp, transforming the invisible pressure into a gust that bore a heavy pressure upon them.

Not yet at the Godly Void Pavilion, Ning Fan’s Raindrop Thought had already enveloped the place, and he had heard every word about these two suggesting the little demoness find new love.

He naturally disliked this. Any husband would be displeased when neighbors suggest their wife stray while he’s away.

Of course, considering the Godly Void Pavilion’s stance, he wouldn’t really do much to the two, merely issue a warning.

The people from the Godly Void Pavilion are free to stand by him against the Dark Clan, but meddling in his and the little demoness’s relationship is another matter entirely!

"To see is to believe; I never expected a single look from the Rain Monarch to be so fierce. But remember, many achievements in this world cannot be accomplished on aura alone. People should have self-awareness; if lowly, do not cling to the noble; if weak, do not collide with mighty power. Bow when necessary; let go when appropriate. This is the hallmark of a competent cultivator. Long have I heard of the Rain Monarch’s name, and wish to spar a bit, if the Rain Monarch would grant me the honor!"

Ancient Lamp Immortal King faced Ning Fan’s intense pressure, suddenly let out a cold shout, and within his hand, the ancient lamp radiated countless lights, actually repelling Ning Fan’s pressure.

As the pressure dispersed, amidst his inner relief he also felt a touch of furious embarrassment. For a Four Calamity Immortal King to endure the spray of a Ten Thousand Ages Immortal Venerable’s gaze, incited the feeling of disgrace within. Hence, he wished to engage Ning Fan in a duel to reclaim his dignity.

He was convinced Ning Fan’s pressure was merely unusual, with a slightly fierce gaze; but in terms of skill and power, surely not as formidable as he, a Four Calamity Immortal King.

After all, a distinction exists between Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, and he is not just a Triple Calamity Immortal King, but Four Calamity! Throughout Eastern Heaven, who would dare disrespect him? Even Immortal Emperors often courteously address him as "Daoist," demonstrating high regard.

Almost as Ancient Lamp Immortal King issued the challenge to Ning Fan, Ning Fan sensed subtle spirit senses emanating from the distant Divine Void Pavilion headquarters.

These spirit senses were all from beings above Ten Thousand Ages, including the Shenhao Twin Emperors. It seems they hold great interest in Ancient Lamp Immortal King’s challenge to him...

Ning Fan also felt numerous Ten Thousand Ages spirit senses lingering on the Wuxian Cloud beneath his feet... It seems they are quite interested in this Innate Escape Treasure as well.

Of course, considering the relationship with Xiang Mingzi, Ning Fan is undaunted by a potential treasure plunder here; solely with his current strength, he is unafraid.

As for the challenge from the Ancient Lamp Immortal King, he is even less concerned, though others may not see it the same way.

"Husband, Rain Sovereign is merely a Ten Thousand Ages Immortal Venerable, you are a Four Calamity Immortal King; challenging him seems a bit overbearing..." Banana Palm Fairy voiced worry, noting the little demoness’s obvious displeasure after Ancient Lamp expressed his desire to spar. They had just arrived at the Godly Void Pavilion, and if they over antagonized the little demoness, it would be unwise.

Her words voicing the sentiment of many Godly Void Cultivators present here. Many amongst them sought not to be engulfed in Ning Fan and the Dark Clan’s clash, yet held no animosity towards Ning Fan personally. To the contrary, many admirably support Ning Fan’s ascent through Eastern Heaven. Several secretly curse the Ancient Lamp Immortal King as shameless, daring to challenge a Ten Thousand Ages Immortal Venerable with his Four Calamity Immortal King level. However, none dare utter these views directly, fearing to offend the Ancient Lamp Immortal King.

"Rest assured, wife; I know the limits. It’s a spar, purely as such; I won’t harm Rain Monarch in the least." Ancient Lamp Immortal King stood with hands concealed, his Four Calamity Immortal King aura sweeping forth, instantly launching many inadequately cultivated Divine Void Pavilion cultivators, rendering countless hearts astonished, marveling at the Four Calamity Immortal King’s might. Of course, due to his deliberate control, none were injured.

"Apologies, the Divine Void Pavilion is the abode of Senior Xiang, I prefer not to provoke chaos here. Your spar invitation, I decline." Ning Fan calmly rejected, his face serene.

But the following moment, an even grander aura surged forth from Ning Fan, shattering the aura Ancient Lamp Immortal King spread completely!

What an aura laden with killing intent!

What an aura steeped in Evil Qi!

Under such Evil Qi, one Divine Void Cultivator after another found it difficult to breathe, nearly suffocating, hearts pounding uncontrollably, blood reversing in their chests with profound shock unprecedented.

Even the Lamp-Lit Couple broke out in cold sweat under such aura, bodies unwittingly trembling.

Their shaking is a body’s instinctive judgment towards danger after enduring countless trials!

Even facing some Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperors, they wouldn’t tremble, yet... this moment under Ning Fan’s aura alone, they felt fear.

This does not resemble fake Evil Qi...

This is Evil Qi from slaying Immortal Emperors...

And not merely one Immortal Emperor!

But how could it be...

How could this child have slain Immortal Emperors, that is impossible, and Eastern Heaven has never heard of any Immortal Emperor’s demise!

Could it be from the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain... but still unlikely, given its Immortal Emperor status...

In Eastern Heaven’s history, only Senluo, the First Demon of Eastern Heaven, ever slew Immortal Emperors as an Immortal King.

No one has ever been an Immortal Venerable slaying an Immortal Emperor...

"...Of course, if you still wish to fight, you may come find me another day. I will seek an opportunity to accept your challenge."

Ning Fan withdrew his aura, smiled slightly, and clasped his fists at the Divine Void cultivators waiting for him. He boarded the Wuxian Cloud, taking the little demoness with him, and headed straight for the Divine Tomb.

Left behind were the Lamp-Lit Couple with sweat-soaked backs, staring at the direction in which Ning Fan left, filled with uncertainty, yet daring not to provoke further...

All the ancient Divine Void Pavilion observers were stunned by Ning Fan’s Evil Qi!

Some instinctively chose not to believe it. Even the Shenhao Twin Emperors, seasoned Eight Tribulation Great Emperors, doubted Ning Fan could defy the heavens to such a degree, to kill an Immortal Emperor...

If the batch of Eastern Heaven cultivators hiding in the Holy Mountain were to return, perhaps they would relay Ning Fan’s defiant achievements within the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain.

Unfortunately, those people have not yet returned. Currently, the ones who have come back are a group of junior cultivators lingering at the outskirts of the Holy Domain, not daring to enter the inner sanctum, completely unaware of the major events involving the Dabei Clan. Therefore, as of now, no one in Eastern Heaven knows what Ning Fan has accomplished in the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain.

If they did know, even if given ten thousand courage, the Ancient Lamp Immortal King probably wouldn’t dare provoke Ning Fan.

"Has your temper improved? I thought you’d beat up the Ancient Lamp." The little demoness remarked on Wuxian Cloud, surprised.

"Am I in your mind the kind of person who acts recklessly without thinking of the occasion? As long as they don’t cross my line, I won’t make things difficult for Senior Xiang." Ning Fan flicked the little demoness’s head out of annoyance, earning a glare from her, but she soon turned her interest to the Ya Tiangou beside Ning Fan.

"What kind of dog is this, can you give it to me to play with?"

"You’re too devious; you’d play him to death."

"I promise not to dissect him... I’m just curious about this dog, never seen such in Eastern Heaven before."

"Is your baseline for pet care dissection? I’ll tell you about my experiences in the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain later and also about the dog’s origins."

"Great! Come to my room later, let’s have a candlelit night talk!"

"...Hehe, a candlelit talk it is, I have no objection."

...

Ning Fan arrived at the Divine Tomb, and although the Wuxian Cloud drew attention on his way, the patrolling cultivators recognized him and did not obstruct him. Having visited several times, Ning Fan was already a frequent guest at the Divine Void Pavilion.

Xiang Mingzi was not sweeping outside the tomb but inside.

At the bottom of the Divine Tomb, Xiang Mingzi stood alone, guarding the entrance to the Chaotic Ancient Tomb Palace, silent.

Upon entering, Ning Fan saw the lonely and bitter silhouette of Xiang Mingzi.

"Has Little Friend returned from the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain? This journey seems to have been quite fruitful; judging by your power, you might even vie with some Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperors now."

Xiang Mingzi turned around in mild amazement. Although his eyes were blind, the messages transmitted through spirit sense made him acutely aware of the unbelievable changes Ning Fan underwent over a little more than a year. These changes included potent forces tied to gods that even his Quasi-Saint level couldn’t fully perceive...

"Yes, the journey was indeed fruitful, but at a substantial cost... I think I’ll soon need another Heaven-Opening Stone to repair my magical treasure."

"Oh, another Heaven-Opening Stone? In that case, I’ll help you look for one; maybe some old fogey still has it."

"Thank you, Senior. Among my many gains this time, there are some gifts I plan to give you later."

"Oh? More good things to give this old man? You’ve given me plenty already. You should keep these for yourself; increasing your own strength is more important."

"It’s fine, we can discuss this later. I want to check the situation with Master Chaotic Ancient first."

"Sigh, Little Friend, accept it with grace..." Xiang Mingzi sighed bitterly.

Currently, the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor has dissipated to the point of being nothing more than wisps of smoke, unable even to project any consciousness.

Everyone knows Ancient Chaos doesn’t have long to live. Xiang Mingzi doesn’t believe Ning Fan’s trip to the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain can cure Ancient Chaos. Even the Hall Ancestor of Divine Void couldn’t accomplish it. He didn’t intend to crush Ning Fan’s confidence.

"Grace, is it..."

Ning Fan’s heart felt a slight heaviness. Honestly, even after raising Little Kitten to adulthood and gaining South Sea Spring Water, he doesn’t have full confidence in extending Ancient Chaos’s life.

The best he can do is try his best and accept fate...

Leaving the little demoness and Xiang Mingzi outside the tomb palace, Ning Fan entered the Chaotic Ancient Tomb Palace alone.

In the depths of the tomb palace, a wisp of smoke barely resembling a human shape fluttered without wind, the ancient chaos reduced to smoke...

"Master, I’m back. In my life, I’ve only recognized three masters: Master Han, who led me to the Cultivation Road and taught me how to be a person; Master Zidou, who helped me see my true self; and you, who endowed me with the Cultivation Techniques and methods that have allowed me to fight my way until now. Though the Yin Yang Locket wasn’t directly imparted by you, I dare not forget the heritage within, nor the kindness you bestowed upon me teaching the Chaos Ring Decision. I don’t know if I can extend your life today, but I will try my best..."

Ning Fan flipped his hand, revealing a golden bottle sealed with countless layers. Inside the bottle was a drop of the potent Jiuli Soul Blood.

In this world, there exist the Five Grades of Extreme Yang Items that may prolong one’s inevitable demise: the Shangqing Lotus Leaf, the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot, the Primeval Fusang, the Jiuli Soul Blood, and the Breath of the Reverse Saint...

Ning Fan recalled the frail state Little Kitten was reduced to after forcing out a drop of soul blood...

While settling karmic debts, he again found himself indebted to Little Kitten, necessitating compensation in the future...

One can only use a single drop of Jiuli Soul Blood, extending life just once...

The extension’s duration varies greatly according to one’s physical condition and cultivation level.

If consumed by a mortal nearing death, Jiuli Soul Blood can confer immortality, akin to eternal life.

If used by an immortal cultivator, the higher the cultivation level, the lesser the effect...

Ning Fan pondered quietly, then, after a long pause, invoked the power of the soul blood using the Jiuli Finger Technique taught by Little Kitten.

In an instant, countless crystalline strands of light flew out from the soul blood, merging into the light smoke within the Tomb Palace.

Thump, thump, thump!

Strands of heartbeat sounds emanated from within that light smoke!

Thump, thump, thump!

The heartbeat grew increasingly powerful, until eventually, just the sound of the heartbeat was enough to destabilize the entire world at the base level of the Divine Tomb!

This was the mighty heartbeat that only the Ancient Chaos at his peak could produce!

Just the heartbeat alone possessed the might to destroy heavens and earth; a speck of dust could fill the sea, a single blade of grass could sever the sun and moon, speaking of such a peerless character as seen before them!

The heartbeat echoed across the heavens and then burst out from the Divine Tomb, covering the entire starry sky of the Godly Void Pavilion!

The heartbeat continued to spread, traversing galaxy after galaxy, layer upon layer of void, until it reached a starry sky shrouded in eternal darkness!

At that moment, the Dark Clan hidden in this part of the cosmos experienced their greatest fear in history.

Every resurgence of that heartbeat made the bodies of the old monsters of the Dark Clan tremble even more violently!

"Anc... Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor! This is the saint-level heartbeat that only a Seven Orifices Ancient God can possess. Is Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor truly going to awaken? This is absolutely impossible! Back in the day, he was personally annihilated by that supreme existence from the Taicang Calamity Clan, how could he possibly have a day of resurrection!"

"Had it not been for the fact that not even the Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign could save Chaos, Chaos would have not returned to Dreamland faintly prolonging his existence within the void... There’s no one in this world capable of reviving him, yet why..."

"No, it’s not resurrection! Chaos’s destiny hasn’t changed, his ultimate fate remains extinction, but the timing of the extinction has been delayed by someone using against-heaven means!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The only things in existence that could suppress the injuries caused by the supreme being of the Calamity Clan and extend Chaos’s life, are five items. Those five items do not exist within the Dreamland Realm, therefore this matter is absolutely impossible!"

"But this heartbeat sound is no forgery! Wait, why does the heartbeat suddenly seem weakened..."

"Could it be that someone attempted to extend Chaos’s life, but failed?"

"Ha! Good that they failed, good that they failed!"

In an instant, the chaotic Dark Clan gradually calmed down, realizing it was a false alarm.

...

Inside the Tomb Palace, Ning Fan’s breath was weak, heavily exhausted. He forced himself to stand, his gaze filled with solemn concentration examining the illusion of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor’s Tomb Palace...

No, describing the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor as an illusion of the Tomb Palace is no longer accurate!

At this moment, after being treated with Jiuli Soul Blood and South Sea Spring Water, Ancient Chaos was no longer just an illusion!

The illusion drifting like light smoke gradually solidified, eventually... actually forming a real flesh body!

And even after forming a flesh body, the body of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor was continuously undergoing changes!

Initially, the flesh body condensed by the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor appeared as an emaciated old man with a head of white hair, akin to a skeleton, with dried-up blood and flesh and skin devoid of any luster.

He sat cross-legged in the air, motionless, his body reflecting no signs of life, resembling a withered old tree; if not for the beating heart, one might almost believe this was a dead man.

But then, inside Chaos’s flesh body, threads of vitality began to appear, like rivers converging into the sea, drawn directly from between heaven and earth, blatantly overriding any limitations of laws.

Gradually, the flesh of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor started recovering its function; the wrinkles on his skin vanished bit by bit, the white hair transformed into black hair.

His appearance was no longer that of a decrepit old man, but a majestic middle-aged ruler!

The heartbeat sounds that shook the Dao made Ning Fan feel a surge of excitement.

Every strand of essence blood beneath the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor’s flesh filled Ning Fan with a vast and unbeatable aura!

With each inhale and exhale, it seemed as if he could swallow the sun and moon!

With the flicker of his eyelids, it seemed as if a giant dragon was about to awaken at any moment!

Ning Fan had an intuition! If Chaos opened his eyes and returned to the world, then the instant of opening eyes would be enough to brutally destroy the entire Divine Tomb!

His heart was filled with excitement! He didn’t know how long his actions could extend Chaos’s life, but it seemed there was still some effect.

It’s just that he waited left and right, but Chaos still did not open his eyes, even the heartbeat resonating through heaven and earth suddenly cooled down, eventually... bizarrely stopped beating.

The thumping sounds across heaven and earth ceased instantly.

At last, the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor merely maintained a flesh body with a vast aura, sitting cross-legged in the air of the Tomb Palace, seeming both alive and dead without truly awakening or undergoing any further physical transformation.

"It seems to still have failed...not even Jiuli Soul Blood had any effect?"

Ning Fan sighed heavily, unable to suppress the weakness from treating Chaos any longer, he stumbled and fainted onto the ground.

Just at the moment he fainted, the heart of the Chaos Grand Emperor thumped once more, but then again, out of some kind of anticipation, quieted down again...

Now was still not the time for him to awaken! The brief life extension Ning Fan fought for him must be utilized well, only to sweep away the greatest hidden enemies of the Eastern Heaven for this remarkable little guy at the critical moment...

Whatever those beings wished to do to Eastern Heaven, he didn’t care!

But if anyone dared to plot against his inheritor, he would ensure everyone knew the consequence of bullying the disciples known for their fierce loyalty of the Lieyuan Sect!
