CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 0555 BECOMING THE ENEMY OF EVERYONE IN THE IMMORTAL REALM

He’s indeed feeling great right now.

But the aftermath of that elation is an endless sorrow and desolation.

The Pure Yang Immortal Emperor broke free from his imprisonment, his furious gaze piercing through layers of the void, shattering the infinity of space and time, landing harshly on Lin Fan. For an ordinary person facing such a gaze, they might have been scared to the point of crapping their pants.

But to Lin Fan—

Such a gaze had long become a familiar occurrence. Other than being a bit fiercer than usual, it was entirely useless.

"Your gaze may look menacing, but that’s all it is. What are you still staring for? What’s so interesting to look at?" Lin Fan ultimately embarked on the path of running his mouth. Even though he felt a bit nervous, he would not cower in front of an enemy.

So what if the other party was an Immortal Emperor?

If you’ve got the guts... just kill me then.

"You lowly thing." The Pure Yang Immortal Emperor’s disdainful gaze blanketed Lin Fan. With four Immortal Emperors present, he was confident there was no escape this time, and Lin Fan’s only outcome was death.

Yet he had never encountered such an audacious figure before.

The Supreme Divine Power strike that had been a sure-kill—

Had already grievously injured the opponent, but through some kind of Secret Technique, he had recovered.

The Imperial Bird engulfed in Rootless Fire,

It reminded him of the Fierce Phoenix Immortal Emperor,

That ancient Immortal Emperor famed for being undying and reborn from flames.

"Lowly?"

"Interesting. So what if I am lowly? Haven’t you still been imprisoned by lowly me, using great strength just to break free?"

Lin Fan’s gaze stared fixedly at the Pure Yang Immortal Emperor, while entwining the Holy Weapons around himself.

The situation might be perilous now.

A slight misstep could result in profoundly complicated consequences.

The Dongcang Immortal Emperor remarked, "Brother Yin Yang, didn’t you cultivate a Supreme Divine Power that can transform others into Yin Yang Puppets without damaging their foundation or luck? I see this brat as somewhat capable. Once we suppress him later, why not hand him over to you to refine into a puppet?"

The Yin Yang Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "Excellent. This boy’s Innate Divine Ability and luck are indeed strong. If I can refine him into a puppet, he may become a significant asset under my command."

At this moment, Lin Fan’s situation felt akin to that of a helpless young maiden surrounded by a group of ravenous big men. Their gazes radiated a hungry, green gleam.

Helpless and fearful.

The Mouse Emperor Immortal staggered over to Lin Fan, wounded all over, and sighed, "Friend Lin, it is I who have dragged you into this."

"Friend Mouse, why say such things? I came here willingly. How could it be that you have dragged me into anything?" Lin Fan replied.

As someone of the Immortal Dao, committed to chivalry and righteousness, aiding those in need, and standing up for friends in peril was simply in his nature—even though the enemies this time happened to be a bit too powerful.

The more he said things like this, the more guilty the Mouse Emperor Immortal felt.

After a moment of contemplation,

The Mouse Emperor Immortal had made up his mind.

"Friend Lin, in a moment this old mouse will ignite my own Emperor Source to break open a path of escape for you. Please, do not waste this opportunity, and do not let my sacrifice be in vain."

He had lived within the Heaven and Earth Cave Mansion for a long time and was already content. Now, having encountered a Human Clan cultivator willing to risk their life to assist him, he felt no regrets in this life.

After all, his true form was that of a mouse. He had never been welcomed by anyone, and even among the rankings of sentient beings, he was classified as one of the lowest creatures.

If not for a series of fortuitous opportunities,

He would never have made it to such heights.

Lin Fan said, "Friend Mouse, perish the thought. If you detonate yourself to help me escape, what meaning does my coming here have? Our goal should be to fight together, carve a bloody path, and escape from this place. That’s why I’ve come."

The Mouse Emperor Immortal was moved upon hearing this. But when he looked at the situation before them,

Escaping seemed like an impossible task.

"Friend Lin, I understand your intentions and am deeply touched. I never imagined I could make a friendship with someone willing to risk their life for me. I feel no regrets in this life. But right now, against four Immortal Emperors, there’s nothing I can do."

The Mouse Emperor Immortal was a deeply emotional being.

Tears flowed down.

For an Immortal Emperor to be so emotional, it was truly a rare sight.

Lin Fan understood that everything the Mouse Emperor Immortal had said was the truth.

Escaping from the hands of four Immortal Emperors was indeed a daunting task, a near impossibility.

Originally, the plan was to break through the encirclement of the four Immortal Emperors and flee to a perilous place set up by the Dou Tian Immortal Venerable. But seeing the current situation, even escaping seemed impossible, let alone leading them on a chase.

At this moment—

The four Immortal Emperors attacked directly.

They certainly wouldn’t wait for Lin Fan and the Mouse Emperor Immortal to finish their chat before making a move. They would strike ruthlessly at any moment.

Though the Mouse Emperor Immortal was merely a mouse, having cultivated to this point, he was now an Emperor Rat, extraordinary in every sense. It was precisely this that provoked the greed of the four Immortal Emperors.

To have reached such a realm,

How many fortuitous encounters must he have experienced?

Refining him into an Emperor Pill would yield endless benefits; who wouldn’t be tempted?

In an instant,

The radiance of Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills illuminated the world.

The destructive power, like a raging tiger, was manic and explosive.

Battles involving Immortal Emperors were always earth-shattering. However, with the addition of an Immortal Monarch as a minor player, it made the scenario slightly amusing.

But no one could underestimate this minor player.

When ferocious, he was incredibly formidable as well.

The Immortal Emperor Futu let out an angry roar, spreading his hands to manifest a spear. The spear radiated the power of a Holy Weapon, its might enough to illuminate the Nine Hells. It tore through the void, stabbing fiercely toward Lin Fan.

The speed was astonishing, traversing space and time, and the force it exuded transformed into a raging storm dragon.

A sense of crisis descended.

Lin Fan’s heart tightened. The overwhelming terror of impending danger loomed; in the blink of an eye, he saw an arc of chilling brilliance sweeping toward him. Even with his Sudden Shock Innate Divine Ability, evading it seemed impossible.

When there’s no way to dodge,

One can only face it head-on.

Seeing Lin Fan intending to bear the blow directly, Immortal Emperor Futu sneered, "Trying to withstand the Holy Weapon I’ve refined for thousands of years? You are not worthy."

The spear’s edge descended, splitting the Heavenly Vault in two.

Lin Fan roared fiercely, Holy Weapons coiling around him, as he charged headlong at the spear. In mere moments, he felt an immense force surge through him. The Holy Weapons he refined struggled to resist.

When an Immortal Emperor wielded a refined Holy Weapon, its might surged uncontrollably.

Poof!

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Cracks appeared on his body. He had never underestimated any Immortal Emperor-level opponent, but he had not anticipated the horrifying power an Immortal Emperor could unleash with a fully refined Holy Weapon.

As expected!

A terrifyingly powerful Holy Weapon, when fully refined, unleashed an unstoppable force.

Lin Fan was pushed to his limit.

Suddenly,

His Martial Arts Will, previously suppressed, erupted violently.

A spectral figure ascended from his Martial Arts Will.

It was... the Ancestor of Martial Arts.

Immediately after,

Devastating power swept forth, breaking through everything. The expression of Immortal Emperor Futu changed dramatically as he retracted the Holy Weapon Spear, staring intently at that figure, disbelief etched on his face.

"Martial Arts..."

The other three Immortal Emperors reacted the same way.

They gazed at the spectral figure,

Fragments of ancient secrets surfaced in their minds.

"He possesses the legacy of the Ancestor of Martial Arts. He is an enemy to all in the Immortal Realm..."

"He must be killed."

Lin Fan felt a slight relief, but as he heard the Immortal Emperors’ words, he was momentarily dumbfounded.

Damn it!

Did I just become the greatest enemy of the entire Immortal Realm?
