Chapter 23: Send for Fang Jin
Page (1/3)
“Elder Qin is dead?”
“Who is this man? He killed Elder Qin, a half-step Grandmaster, with a single punch!”
“That can’t be real! Elder Qin just died like that?”
Terror filled the hearts of the crowd. With a single exchange, this man had killed a half-step Grandmaster. Was he a Grandmaster—or a King who had severed the Dao?
Faced with the panic of the disciples from the Yaoguang Holy Land, Luo Yan led his donkey forward. Several disciples who had previously tried to attack him hurriedly stepped aside. This man, who appeared to be around their age, was actually an ancient monster of terrifying power!
Ignoring the fear of the Yaoguang disciples around him, Luo Yan stepped onto the stairs and crushed the broken stone plaque beneath his foot, once again grinding the dignity of the Yaoguang Holy Land into the dirt.
“Fellow Daoist, haven’t you gone too far?”
A voice came from the depths of the holy land, clearly displeased by Luo Yan’s act of shattering the stone plaque.
In response to that displeasure, Luo Yan merely glanced in the direction of the voice. Across the void, he instantly locked onto the speaker—a Grandmaster.
The Grandmaster’s expression changed dramatically. He had never imagined that Luo Yan would identify his true body in an instant.
Then, a terrifying light flashed through those eyes. The Grandmaster was instantly gravely wounded, barely escaping total annihilation!
Yet this was merely the power contained in a single glance. Just how terrifying was this mysterious man’s true strength?
What he did not know was that Luo Yan had used no technique at all. It had been nothing more than an utterly ordinary glance.
“Pff!”
The Grandmaster spat out a mouthful of blood, barely clinging to life like a man on the verge of death.
This was a scene no outsider could have imagined. A Grandmaster was unquestionably a powerful figure in this era, an existence of the highest caliber, capable of intimidating an entire region.
And yet such a being had nearly been stared to death.
“You are not qualified. Bring Fang Jin here!”
Outside the holy land, the man leading the donkey walked inside.
Luo Yan finally understood why, six thousand years ago, his attempt to kill Fang Jin had drawn the attention of the Ten Thousand Daos.
Fang Jin had survived to the present day and had even become a Saint, sealed within divine source.
But the present was no longer six thousand years ago.
Strictly speaking, Luo Yan was now a true living Quasi-Emperor, walking freely through the world!
It was merely a holy land. So what if its Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon were to awaken? If he wished, he could simply annihilate the entire holy land. Even its Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon could not stop him!
A Quasi-Emperor was also an Emperor! Unless a true Emperor-level powerhouse emerged, even the Supreme Existences of the restricted zones could not stop a peak Quasi-Emperor! They would have to risk everything, undergo ultimate sublimation, and become a true Perfect Great Emperor. Otherwise, they could not kill him!

A peak Quasi-Emperor was practically an existence with one foot already in the realm of becoming an Emperor by an alternative path. Otherwise, the Chronology Mirror would never have become half an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon. Once restored, it would very likely become a genuine Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon!
Six thousand years ago, Luo Yan had taken the laws of Heaven and Earth into consideration and could not act recklessly. The moment he truly unleashed his power, the Heavenly Dao would set its sights on him.
But now it was six thousand years later—the era belonged to Luo Yan. He could act without restraint!
“What are you supposed to be? Do you think you are worthy of making Old Ancestor Fang Jin take action?”
“Boy, don’t think that possessing a little ability gives you the right to attack at the gates of the Yaoguang Holy Land! Today, I will teach you how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. Pay more attention in your next life!”
A Great Accomplished King emerged from the depths of the Yaoguang Holy Land, carrying an aura that looked down upon the entire world.
He had once nearly become the Holy Lord of Yaoguang. Hundreds of years ago, he had been one of the strongest figures on this continent, and he had fought both the Peacock King and the Golden-Winged Roc King without falling into disadvantage.
The disciples within the holy land could scarcely remember him anymore, nor could some of the elders. Yet now he had stepped forward to face Luo Yan directly.
This was confidence—the belief that Luo Yan was, at most, another Great Accomplished King in the later stages of the King realm.
“It is a senior expert at the Great Accomplished King realm!”
“This man has no idea how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. He actually provoked a senior Great Accomplished King. He is finished!”
Sensing the unique aura of a Great Accomplished King, the disciples of the Yaoguang Holy Land and several elders of the Dragon Transformation realm sneered.
So what if he could instantly kill half-step Grandmasters and Grandmasters? Could he kill a Great Accomplished King just as easily?
Luo Yan said nothing. He simply raised his hand and casually struck out with his palm.
“Arrogant! He actually dares to treat a Great Accomplished King so casually. He is simply courting death!”
“Just wait. I can already see our holy land’s senior killing him!”
The Great Accomplished King’s face darkened. This man held him in utter contempt. Was he looking down on him by striking so casually?
“Very well. I have been away from battle for too long, to the point that even the younger generation has forgotten me! Today, I will let you ignorant juniors learn that there are some places where you cannot run wild!”
“Divine Soul Annihilation!”
This technique was one he had created by combining the scriptures left behind by ancient Sages with his own insights and strengths. It was a spell specifically designed to attack and destroy another person’s divine consciousness. Perfectly suited to him, it allowed him to display his greatest power!
At the same time, he reached out with his bare hand to catch the palm striking toward him. He held nothing back and unleashed his full strength, preparing to counterkill Luo Yan. He would show this young man—and everyone else—that underestimating an opponent came at a price!
“Boy, die!”
He spoke with absolute confidence.
However, when Divine Soul Annihilation struck Luo Yan, the scene the Great Accomplished King had imagined—Luo Yan’s divine consciousness being destroyed and his body collapsing—did not occur.

Luo Yan remained standing exactly where he was, completely unharmed.
Divine Soul Annihilation had not affected him in the slightest!
“What? Impossible!”
No one could understand the shock in the Great Accomplished King’s heart. This man was definitely not a King who had severed the Dao. He was very likely a Saint-level powerhouse!
With that realization, he looked again at the palm descending toward him.
This man was not being arrogant.
His strength was truly terrifying beyond measure!
That palm was divine and indestructible. It obliterated every technique in its path and struck down upon the crown of his head without meeting the slightest resistance.
At that moment, the once-confident Great Accomplished King revealed an expression of agony. Regret filled his heart. If he had known this man was so terrifying, why had he attacked?
“No—!”
This peerless expert, who had once contended with the Peacock King and even challenged the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, was annihilated by that casual palm. Not even his soul remained.
The entire Yaoguang Holy Land was shaken.
A formidable enemy had arrived!
This man had stormed into the Yaoguang Holy Land not out of arrogance, but because he possessed absolute confidence in his own strength. The sight of Luo Yan killing a Great Accomplished King with a single palm not only terrified everyone within the Yaoguang Holy Land; it also stirred the hearts of many powerful figures watching from outside.
For a time, everyone fell silent. This seemingly young man was unquestionably an existence of tremendous terror—an elusive Human Saint who had long remained hidden from the world.
“I think I know who this is!”
“The Saint-level ancestor of the Luo Family, the one rumored to have returned from the dead!”
Someone had guessed Luo Yan’s identity. After all, recently, the only person to have a grudge against the Yaoguang Holy Land was this very man!
Under the gaze of everyone present, the man who had forcefully entered the Yaoguang Holy Land calmly spoke once more:
“I will say the same thing again. Bring Fang Jin here. He and I still have an old score to settle!”
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang’s expression suddenly changed.
It seemed that today’s matter could not be resolved peacefully.
