Chapter 383: Stirring Every Power, The Thunder Battle Begins!
"Hehe, the Thunder Battle is a grand martial event hosted by Flame God Temple. I expect word of it will soon sweep across the entire Devil Chaos Sea. They say the champion of this tournament will receive the Thunder Ancestral Symbol..."
Liu Xiangxuan explained with a gentle smile.
Mo Luo moves fast, huh... Lin Fan mused inwardly, then replied casually,
"Thanks for the reminder, Miss Liu. I'll be there."
"I look forward to seeing you shine on that stage, Brother Lin Fan. I'm planning to attend as well—perhaps we could travel together?" Liu Xiangxuan's beautiful eyes sparkled with subtle intent as she extended her invitation.
"No thanks. I'm waiting for my brother," Lin Fan answered calmly, turning her down without hesitation.
Liu Xiangxuan's heart stirred, but she kept her smile.
"Very well. Then we'll meet again at Flame God Temple."
With that, she led the Xuan Heaven Palace group away.
As they departed, the other cultivators on Heaven Thunder Island also began to scatter.
Before long, only Lin Fan and Mu Lingshan remained.
"Let's find a quiet place to train and wait for your Brother Lin Dong," Lin Fan said with a smile after watching the others leave.
"Mm." Mu Lingshan nodded obediently, and the two of them found a secluded spot on the island.
Lin Fan sat down to meditate and stabilize his newly broken-through realm, while Mu Lingshan—true to herself—climbed atop her coffin lid and fell asleep.
Lin Fan chuckled and let her be.
Meanwhile, news of Lin Fan's astonishing feats on Heaven Thunder Island spread like wildfire, shaking every corner of the Devil Chaos Sea.
Devil Chaos Sea – Nine Nether Gate.
A dark and eerie land, filled with towering shadowy palaces. Each one housed terrifying auras.
This was the territory of one of the sea's greatest powers: Nine Nether Gate.
When news of Heaven Thunder Island reached them, the entire sect was thrown into chaos.
Lin Fan had not only slaughtered Pang Hao and the Four Devil Generals, but also eliminated three Death Profound Realm elders in quick succession.
He had completely trampled over Nine Nether Gate's dignity.
Among the disciples, fear surged at the mere mention of Lin Fan's name.
As for the elders—they were seething with fury, but none dared face Lin Fan alone. They had no choice but to escalate the matter to the highest authority: the sect master.
In a deep, shadowy hall at the heart of the sect, a disheveled, robed old man listened to the reports. His face darkened.
"Good! Very good! Lin Fan, a mere disciple of Dao Sect dares run wild in the Devil Chaos Sea? Excellent... I'll go deal with him personally. So he wants to join the Thunder Battle? Let him dream—he won't live to see it."
As his words fell, the space around him warped—and he vanished.
The elders exchanged glances. With the sect master stepping in, they finally felt at ease.
Heavenly Wind Sea Region – Gu Clan.
When Elder Gu Shuo, Gu Mengqi, and Gu Yan learned of Lin Fan's deeds at the Thunder Palace and Heaven Thunder Island, they were stunned into silence.
The other major factions in the Heavenly Wind Sea Region were shaken as well—many even began to change their attitudes toward the Gu Clan.
Not just the Heavenly Wind Sea. Lin Fan's name even echoed back to the Eastern Xuan Region, causing a violent reaction.
Yuan Gate was filled with rage and disbelief.
Meanwhile, the Dao Sect—from Ying Xuanzi and his daughter, to the lowliest disciples—celebrated loudly, their hearts filled with pride.
Lin Fan, of course, was unaware of all this chaos he had caused.
And even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Right now, he was quietly cultivating while waiting for Lin Dong to emerge.
In the blink of an eye, over two months had passed.
On this day, as Lin Fan meditated, he sensed a spatial fluctuation overhead.
He immediately stopped his training and gently woke the sleeping Mu Lingshan.
"Big Brother Lin Fan, what is it?" she mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.
"Your Brother Lin Dong is coming out. Let's go."
"Really? Yay!" Mu Lingshan lit up and followed Lin Fan into the sky.
Moments later, the space above the island twisted—and Lin Dong emerged.
"Brother Lin Dong, you're finally out!"
Mu Lingshan rushed over, excited.
Lin Dong tugged on her pigtails with a smile.
"Sorry for keeping you and Brother Lin Fan waiting."
"It wasn't too bad," Lin Fan smiled, then asked,
"Did you fully grasp it?"
"Yes." Lin Dong nodded, his eyes gleaming.
"Then let's head out." Lin Fan nodded.
"Where to?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
"I know!" Mu Lingshan raised her hand.
"Big Brother Lin Fan is going to Flame God Temple to join the Thunder Battle!"
"Thunder Battle?" Lin Dong blinked in confusion.
Lin Fan explained the event to him, then smiled.
"This is your inheritance. It's time you take it back."
"I will." Lin Dong nodded firmly.
"I'll get it back."
"Then let's not waste any more time."
With that, Lin Fan took the lead, flying toward Flame God Temple.
Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan followed closely behind.
As they made their way to the Flame Sea Region, news of the upcoming Thunder Battle spread like wildfire across the Devil Chaos Sea.
Compared to the clan tournaments of the Heavenly Wind Sea's Five Great Families, this was on a whole different level.
After all, Flame God Temple's influence was far greater than any of them.
And the champion's reward?
—The Thunder Ancestral Symbol!
Mo Luo's status in the Devil Chaos Sea had soared because of his control over the Flame Ancestral Symbol, placing him leagues above other Samsara Realm experts.
Now, if someone could obtain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol…
Wouldn't they be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mo Luo?
For such a divine relic, no matter how fierce the competition became, no one was willing to miss it.
