103: Chapter 103 Joining in the Fun

"Roar—!!"

Just as he was thinking, a Saber-toothed Tiger as large as a small mountain suddenly lunged out from the forest, opening its bloody maw to bite toward Lin Fan.

A peak fifth-rank fierce beast!

"Perfect timing!"

Lin Fan did not retreat but instead advanced, raising his hand and throwing a punch.

Bang!

The Saber-toothed Tiger's head exploded.

[Ding! Killed a fifth-rank mutated Saber-toothed Tiger!]

[Obtained evolution points: 200,000 (Doubled due to environmental bonus)!]

"Holy crap?!"

Hearing the system notification, Lin Fan's eyes lit up.

Double experience?!

"Is this a battlefield? This is clearly a leveling holy land!!"

Lin Fan looked at the boundless jungle before him, and moved tears flowed from the corner of his mouth. "Little monsters, Grandpa is coming!!"

During the next ten days.

The outer region of Battlefield No. 8 welcomed a catastrophe.

Lin Fan transformed into a tireless bulldozer; wherever he passed, not a single blade of grass remained.

Whether it was fifth-rank mutated poisonous insects or sixth-rank overlord-level fierce beasts, as long as he encountered them, they all turned into evolution points.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Lin Fan was even too lazy to use his blade, directly activating the Dragon Blood Hegemon Body Art. Under the empowerment of the True Dragon phantom, he pushed through everything in his path.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! evolution points are full!]

[Realm breakthrough! Current Realm: Late Desolate Realm!]

Boom!!

A terrifying aura erupted from Lin Fan's body, and the surrounding giant trees were uprooted by the airwaves.

"Refreshing!"

Lin Fan clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body. With the Late Desolate Realm coupled with his physical body and divine abilities, even if he encountered a Mid-stage Domain King Realm Expert now, he was confident he could blow them apart with one punch!

"Time to go a bit deeper."

Lin Fan opened his map.

On the map, there was a striking red skull symbol—the Wanchu Ancient Mine.

That was a forbidden area of Battlefield No. 8. It was said that even Heavenly Monarch Realm experts might perish if they entered.

"Can't afford to mess with that, I'll take a detour."

Lin Fan followed his heart and chose a route that avoided the ancient mine.

However.

Just as he had passed through a canyon.

"Whoosh!"

An extremely subtle sound of breaking air suddenly rang out from behind him.

Lin Fan's scalp tingled, and he subconsciously dodged to the side.

Puchi!

A bone spike glowing with a faint blue light grazed his cheek and flew past, embedding itself deeply into a nearby rock. That hard rock was instantly corroded into a pool of black water.

"Who's there?!"

Lin Fan spun around abruptly, and the great xia dragon sparrow was instantly unsheathed.

He saw a humanoid wolf demon crouching on a rock above the canyon.

It was two meters tall, covered in greenish-gray fur, with claws like hooks and a pair of narrow wolf eyes filled with cunning and cruelty.

A Heavenly Wolf Clan Domain King—Forest Roar King!

"Jie jie jie, nice reaction, human brat."

Forest Roar King licked its claws, staring greedily at the map in Lin Fan's hand. "Hand over the map in your hand, and this King might consider leaving you an intact corpse."

It had been wandering around this area for several days. Because it had lost its way and entered several dangerous places, it had almost died. Seeing that Lin Fan had a detailed military map, it immediately developed murderous intent.

"Early-stage Domain King Realm?"

Lin Fan sensed the other party's aura and sneered inwardly.

If it were ten days ago, he might have had to expend some effort.

But now...

"Great King, spare my life!"

Lin Fan's expression suddenly changed, putting on a look of extreme terror as his legs shook. "I'll give it! I'll give it right now! Don't kill me!"

As he spoke, he tremblingly held up the map and walked toward Forest Roar King step by step.

"Hmph, at least you're sensible."

Forest Roar King gave a contemptuous smile. As expected, humans were all spineless.

It relaxed its guard and reached out to take the map.

The moment the distance between the two shortened to ten meters.

Lin Fan's terrified expression suddenly vanished.

In its place was a ferocious, cold smile.

"I'll give you your head!!"

Boom!!

The Dragon Blood Hegemon Body Art erupted instantly!

Lin Fan slammed into Forest Roar King's chest, almost face-to-face.

"What?!"

Forest Roar King was pale with fright; it was already too late to retreat.

Bang!!

Lin Fan punched it in the stomach.

The terrifying True Dragon power instantly pierced through its protective demon qi, breaking several of its ribs.

"Awoooo—!!"

Forest Roar King's eyeballs almost bulged out as it screamed and flew backward.

"Taking your life while you're down!"

Lin Fan gave it no chance to catch its breath. Activating "Eight Gates Transport," he instantly appeared at the spot where it was landing.

"Disorder Gold Mallet!"

Forest Roar King's body stiffened.

Puchi!

The great xia dragon sparrow, carrying a cyan blade glow, directly severed its legs.

"Ah!!"

Forest Roar King slumped to the ground, blood spraying wildly, its eyes filled with terror. "You... you aren't in the Desolate Realm! You tricked me!!"

"Ever heard that all is fair in war?"

Lin Fan stepped on its chest, the tip of his blade pressed against its throat. "Now, I ask, you answer."

"Don't... don't kill me..." Forest Roar King completely lost its nerve.

"What's the movement over at the Wanchu Ancient Mine? Why are all you foreign races running there?" Lin Fan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"It's... it's the Qin Tomb!"

To save its life, Forest Roar King spilled everything like beans from a tube. "Three thousand miles northwest of the Wanchu Ancient Mine, an ancient tomb has appeared! It's said to be the burial site of an ancient human Sage of the Zither!"

"Sage of the Zither?" Lin Fan frowned.

"Yes! The zither music from that tomb vibrates for ten thousand miles, and Sage Might permeates the air! Now the Domain Kings of every race are rushing there. It's said we have to wait for the formation to weaken for a month before we can enter."

"Qin Tomb... Sage Might..."

Lin Fan's eyes lit up.

Isn't this a goddamn opportunity delivered right to my door?

"Thanks."

Lin Fan grinned.

"You're welcome, then can you let me..."

Puchi!

A flash of blade light.

A wolf head rolled off.

"Letting you go is impossible. Be more careful in your next life."

Lin Fan skillfully slipped off Forest Roar King's space ring and swept it with his divine sense.

"Whoa! Nice!"

It was piled high with essence stones and various spirit herbs, and there were even a few pieces of rare ore.

"Killing and looting really is the way to get rich."

Lin Fan put away the spoils and looked toward the northwest. "The Qin Tomb, huh? Since I've run into it, then you foreign races have nothing to do with it!"

Whoosh!

Lin Fan turned into a streak of light and rushed toward the Qin Tomb.

...

Half a month later.

The northwestern edge of the Wanchu Ancient Mine.

"Brother Lin Fan?!"

A surprised voice rang out.

Lin Fan stopped his pace and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with a long sword on his back standing on a giant tree.

"Senior Zhao Junyang?"

Lin Fan recognized this person; he was a veteran Domain King Realm Expert of the human race, known as the "Gentleman Sword."

"Why did you come too? It's very dangerous here!" Zhao Junyang had a solemn look.

"Just coming to join the fun." Lin Fan smiled.

"Since you're here, let's go together." Zhao Junyang sighed. "The foreign races are powerful this time; our human race is in a bad situation."

The two traveled together.

Not long after, the scene before them changed abruptly.

On the originally flat ground, a massive crack hundreds of miles long had opened up, like a scar on the earth.

And in the depths of that crack, a simple and ancient bronze portal was faintly visible.

Zheng—!

A faint sound of zither music drifted out from the crack.

Even from a great distance, Lin Fan felt his soul tremble, and the essence power in his body actually began to pulse with the rhythm of the zither music.

"What strong Sage Might!"

Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat.

By this time, many experts had already gathered around the crack.

On the left was the camp of the foreign races. There were no less than ten Domain King Realm Experts, each with a terrifying aura and soaring demon qi.

On the right was the human camp. There were only six Domain Kings, and most of them were injured, their expressions grave.

The two sides confronted each other across the crack, the atmosphere tense and volatile.

"Is that... Lin Fan?!"

In the human camp, someone recognized Lin Fan.

"Why did this kid come? Isn't he just adding to the trouble!"

"A Desolate Realm coming to this kind of place—any random shockwave would kill him!"

On the foreign side, several cold gazes also cast over, carrying murderous intent.

Just then.

Rumble—!!

In the depths of the crack, that bronze portal suddenly shook violently.

The sealing light curtain originally shrouding the portal rapidly dissolved.

"The seal is open!!"

The crowd instantly boiled with excitement.

Whether it was Zhao Junyang and the others on the human side or the ten Domain Kings on the foreign side, at this moment, none of them cared about decorum as they scrambled to rush into the depths of the crack.

Lin Fan blended into the crowd, unhurriedly trailing behind.

After passing through the long and narrow crack passage, everyone's vision suddenly opened up.
