79: Lao Deng is here, the living father is here

During his travels, Lin Chen gained a lot.

Except for the Essence Clone being killed upon arrival, Lin Chen also re-established contact with the Qi Clone and Gods Avatar.

The Qi Clone was currently exploring the Spiritual State area.

With Spiritual Stealth activated, he only needed to temporarily avoid the brunt of attacks, and then it would be a pleasant money-picking journey.

However, Gods Avatar was having a difficult time.

He had entered a forbidden zone in the sea and was trapped within it, unable to get out for a while, and had gained nothing, only endless forward movement.

Lin Chen was powerless regarding Gods Avatar's predicament.

Not only were they very far apart, but Gods Avatar was trapped; if he went, he would just be delivering himself to death. It was better to wait for Nangong Old Geezer to arrive and let him see what was going on.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Lin Chen had already ventured deep into the core region of the Demon Continent.

There were more Ascension to God level Demon Kings, forcing Lin Chen to be extra cautious. Otherwise, if discovered, he would truly be beaten to death.

The core region of the Demon Continent had an even better cultivation environment, with abundant Heaven and Earth energy, yielding higher quality treasures. Similarly, there were also more disregarded treasures casually discarded.

To maximize his gains, Lin Chen did not provoke the treasures guarded by demon beasts. Instead, he directly picked up those treasures whose functions the demon race did not know.

"Why is that tree gone?"

"You must be seeing things. Where's a tree there? Isn't it just a pit?"

"Did I really see things?"

Lin Chen could not hear the conversation between the two patrolling minor demons. After collecting the eighth-grade Blinding Poison Tree, he immediately darted into the distance, heading towards the next treasure growth area.

Such scenes occurred frequently.

Lin Chen had already become a legend.

A phantom was roaming the lands of the Demon Continent. It would collect all sorts of items and occasionally kill demons attempting to find the phantom.

No one knew how strong the phantom was, as even the Demon Kings had not noticed its existence. After all, the phantom had not provoked any Demon Kings, so they were not too concerned.

Such legends were common on the lands of the Demon Continent.

The impact of the legend Lin Chen had become was very small, amounting to nothing more than a loss of some resources, and the affected area was also very limited.

After Lin Chen collected a half-god-grade ore, he temporarily stopped his treasure hunt because he sensed that the world was changing; the blue sky was being stained with blood.

In such a flat-earth world, the sky being stained with blood was always a premonition of a great calamity.

"Calamity is imminent, Heaven and Earth weep blood."

"So the calamity is us, then it's fine."

For the Wanling World to react like this, Nangong Old Geezer must have arrived. Otherwise, the Wanling World, which had been peaceful for a long time, would not suddenly enter an era of calamity.

Lin Chen did not hesitate and immediately activated his teleportation, returning to the Human Race Territory of Wanling.

With just one teleportation, Lin Chen returned to the Border Pass of the Human Race Territory of Wanling, a distance of several million kilometers.

The Wanling World was ultimately just a Middle Thousand World with limited area. Even with stable space, it could not hinder Lin Chen from long-distance teleportation, directly from the core region of the Demon Continent to the Human Race Territory of Wanling.

This was the difference in inheritances.

Lin Chen could still teleport, and the teleportation distance would not be discounted. In the starry sky, his maximum teleportation distance was a billion kilometers, and he could also teleport a billion kilometers in the Wanling World.

However, the native inhabitants of the Wanling World, even if they could perform spatial teleportation, their teleportation distance was very short. Even the strongest experts at the ninth stage of Immortal Transformation could not instantly teleport to every corner of the world.

This was not only because the Wanling World's inheritance was shallow but also because the Wanling World had an upper limit. The Heavenly Dao had instinctively set various upper limits; the stronger the expert, the weaker their performance.

If a supreme expert could reach any part of the world with a single thought, that supreme expert would monopolize all the extraordinary powers in the world, thereby threatening the Heavenly Dao.

This was also the limitation of flat-earth worlds. Once a world developed a Heavenly Dao consciousness, it would inevitably lead to the world's progress being affected.

If it was a proactive and enterprising consciousness, the world still had a chance to ascend. However, a closed-off consciousness would only lock the world's upper limit, eventually leading to the world's demise due to various reasons.

Lin Chen did not stay at Duan Mountain Pass. He teleported again, arriving at the ancestral land of the Wanling Human Race.

At this moment, a massive summoning altar stood at the ancestral land of the Wanling Human Race, and the human luck of Wanling also manifested, concealing the anomalies caused by the summoning altar.

However, Nangong Old Geezer's presence was too immense. Even with the human luck of Wanling concealing it, the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao still detected him.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao felt a fatal threat from Nangong Old Geezer. It mobilized all available power, desperately wanting to interrupt the summoning process and expel Nangong Old Geezer.

However, this was just one summoning location. In the Spiritual State and Spiritual State regions, there were also summoning altars summoning Nangong Old Geezer.

The advantage of Avatars was evident here. Nangong Old Geezer's three Avatars were three independent entities and could be summoned separately to disperse the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Wanling World.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao could only divide its blocking power into three, applying it to the three summoning altars to intercept Nangong Old Geezer, who was squeezing into the Wanling World.

This was an open scheme. No matter how the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao chose, at least one of Nangong Old Geezer's Avatars would descend.

As long as Nangong Old Geezer descended, based on his absolute strength, he could completely block the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao's first wave of resistance, and then the Federation's forces would continuously pour into the Wanling World.

Moreover, the Wanling World needed to be pacified quickly, without giving the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao a chance to cultivate a Son of Luck. After all, a Son of Luck, born from the extreme sublimation of a world's luck and origin, still had some capabilities.

Under the obstruction of the Heavenly Dao of the Wanling World, Nangong Old Geezer remained as unmoving as a mountain, still proceeding at his own pace.

It took him half a day to squeeze into the Wanling World.

Towards the end, the Heavenly Dao of the Wanling World had already given up on obstructing him and instead summoned the strong experts of the Wanling World to resist the descending Nangong Old Geezer.

If it couldn't be stopped, then only a local battle could be fought, using absolute power to defeat the invaders.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao perceived that Nangong Old Geezer was merely a supreme expert, not exceeding the world's bearing limit, and thus, not unbeatable.

Within the Wanling World, there were as many as 15 supreme experts, and 102 experts who were one stage weaker than supreme experts.

117 versus 3, with a numerical advantage and fighting on home ground, the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao did not believe it would lose.

Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao: 117 against 3, the advantage is mine.

And so, the three summoning altars were surrounded by the top experts of the Wanling World.

The three Spirit Emperors of Spiritual State, the three God Emperors of Spiritual State, the four Demon Emperors of Demon Continent, and the five Sea Emperors of the Sea Race, each brought twenty-plus of their strongest eighth-stage Immortal Transformation experts.

They surrounded the summoning altars but did not act rashly, nor did they attack Jin Instructor, who had set up the summoning altars. They merely waited for Nangong Old Geezer to fully descend.

The Wanling World had suffered under the Heavenly Dao for a long time.

Who, having cultivated to become a supreme expert, would not wish to go further? But the Heavenly Dao had sealed off the so-called ascension path, trapping supreme experts in one place, unable to break through.

The supreme experts of the four races were somewhat excited at this moment.

They saw the possibility of further advancement.

Their idea was very simple: capture Nangong Old Geezer, obtain the coordinates of the world behind him, then invade and devour that world to help the Wanling World ascend.

Previously, the Heavenly Dao of the Wanling World had acted conservatively, but now that it was being invaded, if the Heavenly Dao still didn't strike back, these supreme experts would likely rebel first and then proceed with the invasion themselves.

As long as the Wanling World was willing to ascend, they would naturally be able to break through the obstacles and become Immortals.

"Tsk, what a grand welcoming ceremony."

At the ancestral land of the Wanling Human Race, four Demon Emperors, one Sea Emperor, and thirty-five eighth-stage Immortal Transformation Kings surrounded the descending and manifested Nangong Old Geezer.

As for the Wanling Human Race, they were completely ignored.

A race without even a single expert above the seventh stage of Immortal Transformation was not worth mentioning.

Once they captured Nangong Old Geezer, they would naturally settle accounts with the Wanling Human Race for betraying the Wanling World.

The idea was good, but it had to be combined with reality.

40 versus 1, the supreme experts of Wanling seemed to have a great chance of winning.

However, reality was cruel.

"Surrender!"

"Nonsense."

After Nangong Old Geezer descended, his perception became clearer. He couldn't fully discern things through the crack, but now, with direct observation, he could clearly perceive the weakness of these supreme experts.

Even with world suppression, he could easily deal with these supreme experts.

"Suppress!"

Nangong Old Geezer did not act arrogantly and immediately unleashed his full power.

From Lin Chen's perspective, Nangong Old Geezer merely let out a soft cry, and the 40 Immortal Transformation experts besieging him were suppressed in mid-air, losing all ability to fight.

Then, with another wave of Nangong Old Geezer's hand, the 40 Immortal Transformation experts shrunk and were collected into a spatial cage that could imprison living beings, becoming prisoners.

The battle here ended, and the battles in God State and God State also ended successively. The processes were different, but the outcomes were the same.

"Little Lao Deng, wasn't my move cool?"

"Cool."

Lin Chen gave Nangong Old Geezer a thumbs up.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Dao felt as if the sky had fallen.

This was simply a living father!

Even if it made a move, it couldn't suppress these supreme experts so effortlessly. Instead, it would take some effort to achieve what Nangong Old Geezer did.
