"Kill the King of Life for me."
Wu Sheng's words struck Luo Ran like a thunderclap.
What... was he saying?
Luo Ran thought she had misheard.
Then, she heard City Lord Chen's reply.
"Alright."
Chen Fan chuckled, "When Old Demon Chu gets back, we'll head to the Realm of Life. First, we'll kill the King of Life, then find Thousand Silks to borrow a path."
"Mmm,"
Wu Sheng nodded.
It was as if Chen Fan's agreement had already sealed the outcome.
He had no doubt about their ability to slay the King of Life.
"You guys..."
Luo Ran, standing nearby, was dumbfounded.
What were they talking about?
Was she hallucinating, or had they lost their minds?
She couldn't comprehend.
She froze on the spot.
The King of Life... her master. She knew better than anyone how powerful the King of Life was.
In the Realm of Thousand Silks, he was definitely among the top five.
It was rumored... the King of Life had already begun to condense his Dao Spirit, a power exclusively for the ninth tier.
"Oh, right."
Wu Sheng remembered something.
A pot of fine wine flew out from the Great Dao universe, and he tossed it to Chen Fan with a smile, "I stole this from the King of Life."
"I didn't know you had reached the eighth tier before. I thought this Nectar of Life would be beneficial to you, but now it seems useless." Da Feng Novel Network
"But it's a waste to keep it, so here you go... throw it away if you don't want it."
*Pat.*
Chen Fan caught the wine pot.
He didn't say anything, directly removed the seal, and poured the wine, which flowed with a rich life aura, into his mouth.
He drank the entire pot.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he said, "Hmm, the taste is alright. The King of Life's comprehension of the Great Dao of Life is indeed profound."
He then added, "However... it doesn't help me much. Thank you..."
Chen Fan accepted Wu Sheng's goodwill.
Immediately, his gaze fell on Luo Ran, and he smiled, "Since I've received a favor from Senior Wu Sheng, I'll give you something too."
*Swish.*
The River of Life and Death materialized.
The river swept out, merging into a Tai Chi diagram, imprinted upon the void.
The Dao of Life and Death spanned heaven and earth.
Chen Fan smiled, "Please..."
"This."
Luo Ran's eyes immediately showed intense longing.
The Tai Chi diagram of life and death cycles held an extreme allure for her.
"Go ahead."
Wu Sheng smiled freely, "You cultivate the Dao of Death, and you can also gain insight into the Dao of Life. The cycle of life and death will be of great benefit to you."
Luo Ran felt hesitant, but Wu Sheng did not.
He had never felt burdened by accepting Chen Fan's things.
"Is this... okay?" Luo Ran still felt a bit embarrassed.
"What's not okay about it? Go ahead, don't be polite with him..."
"Exactly."
Chen Fan nodded from the side, "Great Daos are meant to be comprehended. Go."
Seeing this, Luo Ran nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Senior."
With that, Luo Ran could no longer contain herself and leaped directly into the Tai Chi diagram.
As Luo Ran comprehended, Chen Fan chatted with Wu Sheng.
They talked about their recent experiences...
"What a pity."
Upon hearing about the battle with the ninth tier, Wu Sheng immediately felt regret, "I should not have left that day. It's such a shame to have missed such an exciting battle."
"What's there to regret?"
Chen Fan gestured towards Luo Ran, who was currently comprehending.
Wu Sheng understood instantly and nodded, "Indeed."
In the boundless chaos, finding a Dao companion was not easy.
The two continued to converse, waiting for Old Demon Chu to return and for Luo Ran to emerge from her comprehension.
*Boom!*
After a full half-day, the fluctuations of the demonic clouds once again rippled through.
"Cough, cough."
The demonic clouds receded, and Old Demon Chu emerged from within.
He coughed up blood as he walked, his Great Dao power continuously dissipating.
"This bad?"
Seeing Old Demon Chu's miserable state, Chen Fan's shock was evident on his face, "What happened?"
"Damn it."
Old Demon Chu cursed, "That old bastard had so many tricks. He detonated a string of Buddhist Daos, and I was accidentally caught in the blast."
Chen Fan: "..."
Right.
It was obvious that Old Demon Chu had been enjoying the fight and hadn't noticed the trap, which led to his current predicament.
"Alright, you should recover quickly."
Chen Fan smiled helplessly, "If we keep talking, your Great Dao will be completely scattered."
The dissipating Great Dao would not return due to injuries; it needed to be re-tempered.
"Mmm."
Old Demon Chu nodded.
He glanced at Wu Sheng, "I'll catch up with you later. I need to recover first. That old bastard is quite strong."
Dizang was stronger than Luosheng.
Old Demon Chu always chose the strongest opponent.
Wu Sheng nodded.
It wasn't just Old Demon Chu; his own condition wasn't too good either.
"Alright."
Chen Fan waved his hand, "You recover too. I'll guard you."
"Mmm."
With Chen Fan present, there would be no problems.
Wu Sheng was utterly confident in this.
Two were recovering, and one was comprehending.
Only Chen Fan remained, sitting quietly in the chaos.
He didn't need to cultivate; the power of the Great Dao flowed into his body every moment.
The day he needed to cultivate would be the day he had an epiphany.
...
Time slowly passed.
Realm of Life.
As one of the top eighth-tier great worlds in the Realm of Thousand Silks, it held a significant position in the entire Realm of Thousand Silks.
The King of Life was one of the strongest under the Great Emperor Thousand Silks with the highest potential to ascend to the ninth tier.
The ninth tier's strength was determined by the Dao Spirit.
Thousand Silks greatly desired to have a ninth-tier powerhouse under his command.
Unfortunately, it was too difficult.
In a million years, the Ninth Earth still only had two ninth-tier beings.
It was the same everywhere else.
In a million years, not a single person had achieved the ninth tier.
It was now incredibly difficult to enter the ninth tier.
The Great Emperor Thousand Silks' gaze turned towards the Realm of Life, a world enveloped by the powers of life and death, uniquely strange.
"Can you... accept this opportunity?" the Great Emperor Thousand Silks murmured to himself.
He was aware of what was happening in the Realm of Life.
He would not interfere.
Everyone had their own path and their own destiny.
Chen Fan's appearance was the King of Life's opportunity.
If he could seize it successfully, perhaps... it would be the moment the King of Life stepped into the ninth tier.
If he failed, well... death was death.
*Boom.*
Outside the Realm of Life, a vast aura of life erupted.
"Are they preparing to make a move?" The Great Emperor Thousand Silks withdrew his gaze.
He watched as the vast aura of life left the Realm of Life and sped away.
No... it wasn't the King of Life.
Thousand Silks frowned, then shook his head, "To only send subordinates to act, alas... it's a waste."
Even now, they were still only sending subordinates to fight, which was truly interesting.
Forget it, he wouldn't bother.
Realm of Life...
*Rumble.*
Six eighth-tier beings, carrying a monstrous aura of life, emerged from the Realm of Life.
"Bring everyone back," the King of Life's voice was cold and merciless.
"Yes."
The six responded and quickly departed.
Within the Realm of Life, the King of Life's gaze seemed to pierce through the spatial obstruction.
He seemed to see the figure approaching.
A smile appeared on his face, "Chen Fan, have you come to offer me an opportunity?"
The Dao of Life and Death, the Dao of Yin and Yang.
He didn't care about the Dao of Yin and Yang; what he cared about was the Dao of Life and Death.
"Life and death must be mine," the King of Life's voice resounded with determination.
