Chapter 331: Disciple of the Flame God Palace? Spiritual Power Breakthrough!
On Martial Meet Island, as the crowd witnessed the scene, many couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.
This Lin Fan—young in age, terrifying in strength, and even more ruthless in action!
First the Evil Bone Elder, then Chen Luo—both slain without leaving a complete corpse. Both died tragically and swiftly.
At this moment, while their hearts were still reeling from the shock, the crowd's gazes toward Lin Fan were already filled with awe and deep fear.
Such a powerful and merciless individual was the kind of person most terrifying of all!
Lin Fan, however, paid no attention to their reactions. After casually disposing of Chen Luo, he descended calmly back to the Gu Clan's position.
"I truly wonder… where Brother Lin Fan's limits lie," Gu Mengqi murmured, her beautiful eyes fixated on Lin Fan. Her red lips parted in wonder, heart still in turmoil.
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "In a place as dangerous as the Chaos Demon Sea, it's only wise to keep a few trump cards. Otherwise, one misstep and it could be the end."
Gu Mengqi chuckled and chose not to press the subject. "Brother Lin Fan, let's return for now. After the storm season passes, you can leave when it's safe."
Lin Fan nodded after a moment's thought. "Very well. I'll impose for a bit longer."
Since arriving in the Chaos Demon Sea, Lin Fan had hardly had a moment of peace.
It was either traveling, fighting, or secluded cultivation—like the month he spent in the Desolate Tower.
Just now, he suddenly remembered: before leaving the Eastern Xuan Region, he had won a Taiqing Soul Refining Pill in a draw from Ying Huanhuan. And he hadn't used it yet.
There was no rush in locating the Thunder Ancestral Symbol. He could use this peaceful period on Martial Meet Island to refine the pill.
Gu Mengqi and Gu Shuo were naturally overjoyed that Lin Fan accepted their offer to stay.
Soon, they escorted Lin Fan and Lin Dong back to the Gu Clan's residence on the island.
After Lin Fan left, many cultivators on Martial Meet Island finally let out long breaths.
The pressure Lin Fan exerted was simply too much.
Suddenly, over at the Shentu Clan's side, Elder Shentu Mo seemed to recall something and turned to the elders of the Wei, Song, and Su Clans.
"Have you noticed that the way Lin Fan killed the Evil Bone Elder and Chen Luo… seems a bit familiar?"
"Really? I didn't sense anything like that," said Wei Hong, frowning in confusion.
The Su Clan elder's eyes narrowed. "Elder Shentu… Are you referring to someone from the Flame God Palace?"
"Demon Lord Mo Luo!" The Song Clan elder's face paled. Even hearing the name made his heart tremble.
Mo Luo!
A titan of the Chaos Demon Sea—one of its most feared peak experts.
His faction, the Flame God Palace, ruled over the entire Flame Sea Region, a colossus whose reputation resounded across the sea.
Compared to them, the two great caves of the Tianfeng Sea Region were not even worth mentioning.
In the entire Chaos Demon Sea, only a handful of factions dared challenge the Flame God Palace.
And all because of one man: Mo Luo!
Wei Hong's heart shook. A wave of fear passed through him. "You mean to say… Lin Fan might be from the Flame God Palace? Mo Luo's disciple?!"
He was suddenly extremely glad he hadn't sided with Chen Luo earlier.
What was Evil Wind Cave compared to the Flame God Palace?
Shentu Mo remained calm. "I'm only saying that Lin Fan's techniques bear a resemblance to Mo Luo's. That's all."
He had once witnessed Mo Luo make a move—and Lin Fan's style indeed reminded him of it. But he didn't dare make reckless assumptions about Lin Fan's identity.
If he was wrong and that rumor spread, offending the Flame God Palace would mean the Shentu Clan's destruction.
Among the five great clans, Wei Clan had the worst relationship with Lin Fan. At this point, Wei Hong was already frightened. "Whether he's Mo Luo's disciple or not, best we leave him alone."
The others nodded. After seeing Lin Fan's strength firsthand, none dared provoke him anyway—even without any background.
…
Lin Fan, of course, had no idea about the speculations swirling after his departure.
Even if he had, he'd probably just laugh them off.
Being labeled as Mo Luo's disciple might be a dream for others, but Lin Fan didn't need it.
Returning to his courtyard in the Gu Clan's residence, Lin Fan took up the same room as before.
He gave clear orders not to be disturbed, then locked himself inside.
With a thought, a pitch-black figure shimmering with a cold luster appeared—it was none other than the Devouring Heaven Corpse, a reward he had drawn from Ling Qingzhu before departing.
Placing the Devouring Heaven Corpse beside him as guardian, Lin Fan then retrieved the Taiqing Soul Refining Pill from his system space.
The pill was round and full, emitting a faint fragrance. Its surface shimmered with mysterious ripples of light—extraordinary indeed.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged on the bed without hesitation and swallowed the pill.
The moment it entered his mouth, it dissolved instantly. A vast surge of spiritual energy rushed toward his Niwan Palace.
Lin Fan didn't dare relax. He immediately began forming hand seals, refining and absorbing the energy.
As the energy merged with his spirit, his spiritual body became increasingly solid.
Invisible waves of spiritual power began radiating from his Niwan Palace, twisting the very air around him…
In the neighboring room, Lin Dong—who had been quietly cultivating—suddenly opened his eyes, his expression turning serious.
"What powerful spiritual pressure…" he muttered, simultaneously happy for Lin Fan and quietly envious.
"You cousin of yours has reached the Great Mastery Symbol Master Realm, and he's still getting stronger," came the calm voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit within Lin Dong.
"Great Mastery Symbol Master… that's equal to the Death Xuan Stage!"
Lin Dong had always known Lin Fan's Yuan Power cultivation was strong, but he never imagined his spiritual power had reached such a terrifying level too.
He himself was still at the Six Seal Symbol Master Realm.
Not only Lin Dong—even Gu Shuo, Gu Mengqi, and the others could sense the terrifying spiritual fluctuation emanating from Lin Fan's room. Once again, they were shaken.
But Lin Fan paid them no mind. He was fully immersed in refining and absorbing the immense spiritual energy granted by the Taiqing Soul Refining Pill.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had gone by.
"Still a bit short…"
On the bed, Lin Fan finally stopped cultivating and slowly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting a hint of regret.
