Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 628 The Holy Emperor is nowhere to be seen in the mortal world
The world was in an uproar when World War I ended!

The battle between Lin Fan and the Golden-haired Hou came too suddenly and inexplicably, and ended too quickly, making it impossible to tell who won.

However, some people have seen that when the Hou clan leader returned to Fallen Immortal Ridge, his face was extremely pale and he was covered in blood.

"Hiss... A top-tier villain is injured!" Many people gasped in disbelief.

However, this is, after all, a peerless master with extraordinary bloodline, who has stepped into the realm of Immortal King, making him very difficult to kill.

For example, the Sky Horned Ant, after going berserk, is unmatched in strength by anyone in the world. Its immense vitality makes it feared by everyone.

Such a person, if he doesn't die, will recover given time.

In contrast, Lin Fan's condition was not good, or rather, it was more serious; his body was battered and bruised, and he was almost dying.

After all, he is not yet a Celestial King and has not reached that realm. He is only temporarily relying on external objects and cannot stay there permanently.

"Holy Emperor!" some people shouted, extremely worried upon seeing his appearance.

His wife and daughters, needless to say, had tears in their eyes, heartbroken and at a loss for what to do.

This shows how brutal that battle was!
"I'm going to... enter a deep slumber!" Lin Fan left these words behind and went into seclusion, dragging his body, which was covered in cracks and dripping blood.

The difference is that he buried himself, lying beneath all the earth, as if he had prepared a grave for himself in advance.

Furthermore, on his grave, two unscrupulous immortal herbs have taken root, truly defying the power of nature.

"Good heavens! Isn't it said that good people don't live long, but evil people live forever? How come he's already dead?"

This is the voice of the white tortoise carrying the immortal. After being tricked out of the ancient immortal ruins by Lin Fan, it has been planted in the medicinal garden of the Holy Emperor Palace.

There is another magical herb, which is also a tortoise, but its color is different; it is bluish-green and has no fairy on its back.

"Alas... Fellow Daoist, you may go in peace. I will take care of your wife and daughters. There is nothing to worry about!"

Beneath the earth, if Lin Fan hadn't been so badly injured, he would have jumped out in anger and smashed those two venomous-mouthed guys to pieces.

Finally, silence fell. He remained motionless, his primordial spirit dim and devoid of any fluctuation, like a corpse.

A thousand years have passed, and he has not reappeared in the world. People outside the world are clamoring and speculating whether he died from his injuries.

During this period, the creatures in the Fallen Immortal Ridge paid special attention to his condition and even sent True Immortals to test him.

However, Lin Fan never showed himself. If it weren't for the great formation set up in the Holy Emperor Palace, it wouldn't have been able to stop a True Immortal.

"roll!"

At this critical moment, Shi Hao shouted that he had come to the rescue and engaged in a fierce battle with the True Immortal in the starry sky.

"puff!"

As a result, the terrifying creature from Meteorite Ridge had its head pierced by Shi Hao's sword, blood splattering everywhere, and was annihilated, body and soul gone.

This scene took all the races of the universe by surprise, and even the ancient beings in the forbidden zone were no exception, their emotions fluctuating violently.

"This is outrageous! Using a human body to defy a true immortal!"

"This is terrible! Another monster has risen to power!"

At this moment, many people were shocked and extremely unsettled. How long had Huang Cai cultivated to kill a true immortal? It was terrifying.

At the same time, they also understood a principle: even if the Holy Emperor were to be in trouble, there would still be someone who could take his place and rule the world!
This person is Huang!

"Hmph, once my clan leader recovers, I will annihilate you all!"

The creatures of Fallen Immortal Ridge sneered. The killing of a True Immortal had caused their clan to lose face and suffer a great loss, and they were furious.

Even so, the place fell silent again, and no more people were sent out to test the waters, out of fear.

Time flies, and five thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In this era of declining Dharma, where the substances necessary for longevity are scarce, cultivators generally have short lifespans, passing through one cycle after another. For ordinary mortals, a few decades is a lifetime, but now it's more than a hundred lifetimes; time is merciless.

During this period, several major events occurred in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The alien realm opened a passage again and led a large army to invade.

"Oh no! Another realm has attacked again!" All races were thrown into chaos, filled with fear.

This time, it's really serious. The invaders include not only Supreme Beings, but also several Immortals and tens of thousands of lives.

Such a lineup can be described as enormous, and it would be a huge disaster for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which lack immortal combat power.

Of course, if Lin Fan were still alive and unharmed, killing these executioners would certainly not be a problem, but he disappeared.

For thousands of years since that battle, he has remained silent, and everyone in the world has been saying that he has perished.

Even the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Holy Emperor's Palace had not seen him for a long time, and they were all gloomy and worried.

Fortunately, Shi Hao, Meng Tianzheng, and others led their troops to attack and annihilate the invading enemy, thus quelling the turmoil.

In addition, the Immortal Realm also sent people down to the mortal realm to try to seize the Heavenly Heart Mark of this realm, but they were all repelled.

"Fortunately, there is still one wilderness in the world!" People breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Tianjiaoyi, Ning Fei, Chilong, and others understood what the Holy Emperor meant by the opportunity he had mentioned.

Over the next two thousand years, they successively merged with the Heavenly Heart Mark, achieving true flawless harmony with the Dao and advancing to the pinnacle of the ultimate Dao.

Yuechan and Qingyi are also diligently cultivating. With Lin Fan absent, the Holy Emperor Palace must be protected; they cannot afford to embarrass him.

In fact, now, ten thousand years after the beginning of the Dharma-ending Age, the people of that time are no longer young.

Even Yuechan and Qingyi, these beautiful fairies, are already over ten thousand years old. If they were in the outside world, they would be very old by now.

Fortunately, the Holy Emperor's Palace is a pristine paradise with a rare amount of longevity-enhancing substances, allowing cultivators who do not become immortals to live for a long time.

This place is only slightly worse than before the end of the Dharma!
"Has Father not woken up yet?" Xiaoxi, who looked about three or four years old, had a worried expression on her tender face.

Thousands of years ago, Lin Fan sealed his daughter with divine source liquid, not wanting her to experience the darkest era and miss this life.

But the little guy was very clever. When he learned that his father was seriously injured and dying, he would often break through the divine source and secretly run to the Immortal Medicine Garden to visit him.

"Xiaoxi, go back quickly, it's not time for you to be born yet." Qingyao sighed softly and patted her daughter's head.

But how could she not be worried herself?

Suddenly, Lin Xi seemed to hear some kind of sound, and her eyes widened in shock as she said:
"I think I heard my father's voice. He told us not to worry, that one day he would be resurrected and become the supreme immortal king!"

Qingyao was suspicious, but she hadn't heard anything. She said, "Xiaoxi, are you missing your father too much and your nerves are so tense that you misheard?"

"No, I must have heard it. It was my father talking to me." Lin Xi's little face was very serious.

Then, she said urgently, "Mother, shall we invite Uncle Huang and a few elders to come and take a look?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Qingyao agreed.

Soon after, Shi Hao, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and the three old monsters on the altar were invited to carefully observe and capture the creatures.

However, everything beneath the earth was quiet and there was nothing unusual. The group shook their heads, indicating that everything remained the same.

"He took too much risk, trying to break the shackles with external force and regenerate the divine embryo. But if he is not careful, he will never wake up again and will perish forever!"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone sighed. Even with a divine object like the Soil of All Things, it could only keep Lin Fan's physical body from decaying.

In the end, the group left. There was nothing they could do; in this situation, it was up to Lin Fan himself, and the others couldn't help.

Little did they know that Lin Fan had ten Reincarnation Seals on his body, which usually had no radiance and no fluctuations.

However, today those ten marks suddenly became incredibly deep, sparkling with light, as if they had come to life.
