Chapter 433 Don't Underestimate People, Alright?

"Not looking good."

During this time, Lin Fan had saved quite a few sects and dynasties, but the Eastern Spirit Continent was so vast that it was like trying to put out a cartload of burning firewood with a cup of water—utterly futile.

This invasion of the Beast Spirit Realm was more severe than imagined, basically shrouding the entire Eastern Spirit Continent in darkness.

Countless people died under the claws of ferocious beasts, and many sects set out to crusade against them, but against such a vast, ocean-like number, it was to no avail.

"Why did the Beast Spirit Realm invade the Eastern Spirit Continent this time? If we could find the source, everything would be easy to solve," Ye Han said calmly.

"Lin Fan, what's wrong? Have you thought of something?" Ye Han noticed Lin Fan's brow furrowed, clearly deep in thought.

Lin Fan said nothing, his mind constantly pondering the matter.

He was eighty percent sure that this had something to do with "Eternal."

Lin Fan had never refined the "Eternal Pendant," mainly because he didn't want to borrow someone else's pendant, and recently, the "Eternal Pendant" had been getting restless.

The only explanation was that the original owner had arrived. If that were the case, it would be a headache for Lin Fan.

No one knew how strong "Eternal" was.

"I'm asking you a question. Sometimes, a problem can't be solved by one person alone." Ye Han was a bit displeased that Lin Fan refused to speak.

This guy was good in every way except for keeping things bottled up.

"Xiao Fan, what Pavilion Master Ye says is right. If you have any thoughts, speak up so we can discuss them," Sect Master Yan said.

The other Supreme Elders around agreed, also feeling that Xiao Fan was living too hard, shouldering everything alone.

"Xiao Fan, you're not thinking we're old and useless, so you don't want to tell us, are you?" Supreme Elder Wuyan said.

"No, it's just that I don't know how to say it right now." Lin Fan was also a bit helpless. If he told them it was "Eternal," wouldn't they piss their pants?

A mere "Eternal Arm" had a hundred Rule Chains, let alone the other parts.

"It's fine, take your time..." everyone said in unison.

Just then, the Sacred Sect's mountain gate shook violently. Zong Hentian and the others quickly retreated, panic-stricken. "Sect Master, Uncle-Master, ferocious beasts are attacking outside."

"What, again?" Sect Master Yan frowned.

Hearing that the beasts were still recklessly attacking, Lin Fan also grew angry.

"Boss..." At that moment, a little kid rushed over from the mountain gate in a fluster.

Hearing the voice and seeing the figure, Lin Fan's expression changed slightly. "Everyone, don't panic. These beasts aren't here to attack the sect."

"Boss, I finally found you. That guy has already invaded the Eastern Spirit Continent. I've brought my clan's people here," the Flame Lord said.

"Xiao Fan, this kid is?" Sect Master Yan and the others were stunned and asked in confusion.

"This is the Flame Lord, a hegemon of the Beast Spirit Realm." Lin Fan briefly explained, ignoring everyone's expressions, then asked, "How many came this time?"

"Boss, this is no joke. The entire Beast Spirit Realm has mobilized. Although my Flame Clan is a hegemon, compared to the whole Beast Spirit Realm, we're utterly insignificant." The Flame Lord had been tamed by Lin Fan, so he was utterly loyal to Lin Fan, showing no fear even in dire straits.

"Damn, this is annoying as hell." Lin Fan scratched his head, at a loss.

The entire Beast Spirit Realm mobilized—who could stop that? Perhaps no one here except Ye Han and himself could survive against such a horde of beasts.

Sect Master Yan and the others studied the kid before them, growing more solemn. Though his aura was calm, the hidden power within was chilling.

How could this kid be a creature of the Beast Spirit Realm? It was simply unbelievable.

"Everyone, given the situation, we have no choice but to fight to the death. But if nothing unexpected happens, the leader of the Beast Spirit Realm's invasion of the Eastern Spirit Continent has condensed at least five hundred Rule Chains." Lin Fan voiced his speculation, regardless of whether they could handle it.

"What? Five hundred?" Everyone was shocked, their faces full of disbelief.

Five hundred—what did that mean? It meant they would be crushed outright.

At that moment, they understood why Xiao Fan hadn't told them. Such an enemy was beyond their ability to deal with.

But even so, did Xiao Fan have the confidence?

Ye Han's heart also sank. Although he was a Supreme Heaven expert, he hadn't condensed that many Rule Chains.

"If the opponent has only condensed five hundred Rule Chains, I'm confident I can fight him. But if it's more, it's hard to say," Lin Fan said worriedly.

And "Eternal" wasn't even the final enemy. Lin Fan was afraid that after suppressing "Eternal," if the Heavenly Dao came to clean up, it would be a tragedy.

Hearing this, everyone was already dumbfounded.

Five hundred Rule Chains, and he could still put up a fight?

"Xiao Fan, just how strong are you now?" Sect Master Yan and the others stared at Lin Fan in shock, never expecting the kid they had saved back then to have reached such a level.

"Sect Master, at this point, it's not about how strong I am, but what we should do. The entire Beast Spirit Realm has mobilized—do you think we can hold them off?"

"This..." Everyone was at a loss, a major problem indeed.

Just then, the void rippled, and two figures stepped out.

"The Beast Spirit Realm—we can handle it."

"It's you." Lin Fan's expression changed when he saw the two.

"I never expected something like this to happen. This was beyond my predictions." The arrivals were He Yuhan and Xia Youtian.

A little over a year ago, Xia Youtian's strength wasn't that high, but in just over a year, he had reached such a level.

Great Heaven Grand Perfection, having condensed one hundred and thirty-five Rule Chains.

"Now that the Beast Spirit Realm is attacking, he and I can suppress it," He Yuhan said confidently.

Xia Youtian looked at He Yuhan, worried, wanting to say something but unable to. Lately, he felt that Sister Yuhan might quietly leave him.

Lin Fan stared at He Yuhan, and He Yuhan looked back at him. "Trust me. This is, after all, my homeland."

"Alright..." Lin Fan finally nodded. What else could he do now?

Even if he fought alone, he wasn't sure he could completely defeat the Beast Spirit Realm.

...

"Xiao Fan, what about us?" Sect Master Yan and the others asked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at them, originally wanting to say they should find a place to rest, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Cooperate with those two to resist the Beast Spirit Realm. Leave the leader of the Beast Spirit Realm to me," Lin Fan said.

"Lin Fan, I, Ye Han, can fight alongside you." Hearing that Lin Fan would face the Beast Spirit Realm leader alone, Ye Han was a bit unconvinced.

After all, he was a Supreme Heaven expert too.

"Forget it. Join them in suppressing the Beast Spirit Realm. That leader is not someone you can handle. In one move, he could kill you." Lin Fan wasn't trying to scare Ye Han; he was stating the truth.

If "Eternal" really had five hundred Rule Chains, even Ye Han, who had broken through to Supreme Heaven, would be crushed like an ant.

"Don't underestimate people, alright?" Ye Han exploded. Wasn't this looking down on him?

"Pavilion Master Ye, let's listen to Xiao Fan. This isn't the time to be stubborn," Sect Master Yan said.

"Hmph!" Ye Han snorted coldly, turned away, and didn't want to say more.

"It's settled. Everyone, prepare. In three days, if we win, we live; if we lose, we die." Lin Fan wanted to lighten the mood, but in this situation, how could anyone be cheerful?
