Chapter 1014: This Death Was Too Fast

They opened their eyes.

Disbelief flickered in the eyes of Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

True Immortal realm?

They had actually become experts of the True Immortal realm—excited, thrilled, truly at a loss for words.

Big Brother had helped them ascend to the True Immortal realm, something they had never dared to imagine. They had acknowledged Lin Fan as their big brother only to protect themselves or to have a powerful backer.

But today, this kindness moved them so deeply that they didn't know what to say.

"Big Brother, I, Qiu Zhanyu, swear that from now on I will follow you. Even if I face a thousand troops or terrifying experts, I, Qiu Zhanyu, will never back down." Qiu Zhanyu's obese body began to tremble violently from sheer excitement.

"Me too, Jin Zhengu," Jin Zhengu quickly added, unwilling to be left behind.

These two brothers had ventured out from their village and had never met anyone who treated them so well.

He was even willing to give them immortal pills.

"Sounds nice, but when the time comes, you two might be the first to run," Lin Fan said with a roll of his eyes, though in his heart he believed them—after all, his judgment of people was never wrong.

"Big Brother, we're experts now. Where do we go next?" Qiu Zhanyu pulled out a water melon and began munching away.

"Let me think. After coming out, I haven't really decided where to go. But for now, let's take a stroll in the city; maybe we'll find something," Lin Fan said.

After leaving the sect, Lin Fan wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible. But now that he was out, he realized that improving strength also depended on luck.

Experts were rare.

And even if there were experts, they traveled in groups with powerful backers. With their current strength, they really couldn't afford to provoke them.

Take the Shenyun Heavenly Merchant Association, for example. Its backer must be very strong. If he provoked them and faced pursuit, there would definitely be experts involved, and he had no idea what kind of experts he might encounter.

If he ran into someone too powerful, he'd be done for.

Inside the city.

The three looked around. The Imperial Heaven City was nothing but bustling and lively, nothing special.

But Lin Fan's eyes darted around rapidly.

Among the passersby, some had decent cultivation—many were True Immortal or Mystic Immortal realm, and even Golden Immortal realm experts were present.

However, those Golden Immortal experts were accompanied by many others, clearly members of a major force.

Lin Fan watched for a while and noticed Qiu Zhanyu's gaze fixed on a corner ahead.

"What's up?" Lin Fan asked.

"Big Brother, look at that father and son. They're so pitiful," Qiu Zhanyu said, as if recalling something. "When I was little, my father took me like that too."

Lin Fan said nothing. With a flick of his finger, he refined a pill using spiritual energy. "Give him this to take; it will restore his health. Giving them money would only hasten their death."

Qiu Zhanyu nodded, then stepped forward, had the man take the pill, and after he recovered, the man was overwhelmed with gratitude toward Qiu Zhanyu.

It seemed Qiu Zhanyu had a story too.

Boom!

But at that moment, the earth shook and the sky turned gray.

"What's happening?" Jin Zhengu exclaimed in alarm, not understanding what was going on.

Lin Fan gazed intently into the distance. There, spiritual energy raged, the void twisted, and a heaven-shaking divine thunderbolt descended from the sky.

Though far away, that imposing force shattered everything and transmitted over.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

At that moment, countless experts soared into the sky from the Imperial Heaven City.

"It's a three-headed divine flood dragon transforming into a dragon!"

Someone exclaimed.

"The rumors are true. There really is a three-headed divine flood dragon there. Now that it's transforming into a dragon, countless experts will surely go to contend for it."

...

Lin Fan's interest was piqued upon hearing this.

Oh my, just the name 'three-headed divine flood dragon' sounded domineering.

"Big Brother, should we go?" Qiu Zhanyu asked.

"Go, of course I'll go, how could I not?" Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all. He directly pulled the two of them, vanished into the void, and sped off in the direction from which the aura came.

Countless powerful auras came from ahead, and Lin Fan felt a bit troubled. If it really was something good, snatching it from their hands would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.

But no matter what, he would first check the situation. Maybe with some luck, he might gain something after all.

...

When Lin Fan halted in the void, he found that in all directions, countless powerful beings were hidden in the endless void. Below, a three-headed divine serpent was churning in a vast ocean.

This three-headed divine serpent was ten thousand zhang long, with two horns on its head. Its sharp scales gleamed with edge, and it was constantly undergoing transformation.

"This thing is really terrifying," Qiu Zhanyu exclaimed in awe.

"Yeah," Jin Zhengu nodded, feeling it was very terrifying.

This three-headed divine serpent had a cultivation base at the Great Perfection of the Mystic Immortal realm. If it successfully crossed the tribulation and transformed into a three-headed divine dragon, it would become a Golden Immortal.

Roar!

A dragon's roar shook heaven and earth, its aura violent. Some weaker beings hastily retreated, as if unable to withstand the sound.

Lin Fan was now observing his surroundings.

True Immortal realm, Mystic Immortal realm.

Eh!

Golden Immortal realm.

Among the hidden experts, there were actually a few Golden Immortals.

At the same time, what amazed Lin Fan was that among those participating in this dragon slaying, there were disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

These disciples were all elders of the sect.

In the Heaven and Earth Sect, as long as one's cultivation reached the True Immortal realm, one could become an elder.

The authority of an elder extended to all disciples except the Divine Son, who was beyond their jurisdiction.

This time, the Heaven and Earth Sect sent a total of thirteen people, all at the Mystic Immortal realm, except for one who was at the Golden Immortal realm.

Although the three-headed divine serpent was a treasure all over, it wasn't enough to make the sect's super experts come out to contend for it.

The three-headed divine serpent knew that many were hidden around, but at this moment, it couldn't care about that anymore.

The lightning tribulation came too suddenly. If he could survive it, he would become a true divine dragon, a Golden Immortal realm divine dragon roaming between heaven and earth.

By then, even ordinary Golden Immortals would be no match for him.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning descended from the sky. This bolt was extraordinarily thick and contained terrifying power. Even a Mystic Immortal, under this lightning, would shed a layer of skin if not die.

At that moment, the Three-Headed Divine Jiao suddenly opened its mouth, and a green inner core was directly spat out from its body, bearing the lightning tribulation.

Crackle!

A sound of cracking came from the body of the Three-Headed Divine Jiao.

This was shedding skin. At the same time, scales kept falling off, and in an instant, golden scales grew back.

At this moment, the people hidden in the void were suddenly shocked.

"This is a Three-Headed Golden Dragon! It's mutating! It's even more powerful and precious than a Three-Headed Divine Dragon."

...

Roar!

At this moment, the Three-Headed Golden Dragon let out a fierce cry. As it endured the last lightning tribulation, drops of golden blood oozed from its body.

"Go! It has become a dragon, and it's in a weakened state."

Someone shouted.

Waves of overwhelming magical power suddenly burst forth, charging directly toward the Three-Headed Golden Dragon.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react,

even Lin Fan was completely dumbfounded.

Before him, the Three-Headed Golden Dragon's body exploded, shattered into pieces...

It just died like that...

Damn, it died too fast.

Lin Fan had been thinking, maybe he should wait, perhaps if he was lucky, he could make a profit.
