"Marquis of Despair …!"
From his interactions with Xia Zehua, Lin Fan had already found out that this was the territory of one of the The Highest beings of the ancient race.
In other words, this was the territory that the Ancient One once controlled.
10,000 years ago, even though the Ancient One had disappeared, and the Ancient race had lost one of the eight utmost beings of the Ancient race, the Ancient race would never lack powerful beings. It didn't take long before a new Ancient race being ascended to the throne of the Ancient race.
How strong were the The Highest beings? Lin Fan did not even have to think about it to know.
Even though the Ancient One was suppressed by the Supreme Being and the others, he was lured into the Xuanhuang World. Using the powers of the Heaven and Earth, the Ancient One's strength was reduced to less than 1% of his original strength.
Even so, the Ancient One with less than 1% of his original strength was still able to kill the Supreme Being and the others.
Conquering the entire Ancient Saint World was not going to be an easy path.
The eight great regions were as vast as the oceans. Most people would never be able to walk out of these regions in their entire lives.
And for those who ascended from the lower worlds, they would always appear at a fixed location.
Right now, the place where Lin Fan had ascended was under the control of the Marquis of Despair.
If not for the fact that the beings of the various races of the Ancient Saint World had come forth to rescue him, anyone who ascended here would be doomed.
Lin Fan had his own thoughts as well. He wanted to free this place, especially the place where he ascended. He had to make sure that it was safe. Otherwise, he would never be able to make a comeback if he were to continue being controlled by the ancient race.
However, Lin Fan understood that he had no confidence in taking on the Marquis of Despair alone with his current strength. Therefore, he could only continue to grow stronger.
Initially, Lin Fan had thought that he would be able to clear all the stages alone. But on second thought, if he had a party, things might be a lot easier as well.
He had just arrived in the Ancient Saint World, and was unfamiliar with this place. Hence, it would be hard for him to advance. On the other hand, Xia Zehua and the others had ascended for a long time now. They were extremely familiar with this place. If he wanted to become stronger, he would have to depend on their help.
"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do then?" Xia Zehua asked.
"In my opinion, we should strengthen our party and raise our strength. Given our current numbers, I'm afraid that's not enough." Lin Fan replied.
"Hmm, that makes sense. But how do we strengthen the team? Over here, there are very few lone compatriots. There are many groups like ours, and there are many who are stronger than us. Others might not be able to join us, "said Xia Zehua.
Lin Fan rubbed his chin and began to ponder. Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind and his lips curled into a smile, "We can head to the ascension site and rescue those who have just ascended. Then, we can get them to join our team and raise their strength. Finally, we can join forces with some other teams and fight against the Marquis of Despair. By then, we might have a chance of winning."
"Aiya, that's right. Why didn't I think of that?" Xia Zehua slapped his thigh and exclaimed.
"Ascension only happens once a month. We can go and rescue those people who have ascended. Then, we can recruit them into our team and slowly raise their strength." The more Xia Zehua thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
It was a pity that Lin Fan had not told them yet.
What use could these people who had just ascended be? They were only greater celestial full cultivation beings. In fact, they couldn't even defeat the ancient race soldiers.
As for grooming them and raising their strength, that wasn't impossible either. But for Lin Fan, that was way too much of a waste of time.
Based on Lin Fan's plan, he wanted to raise his own strength in the shortest amount of time possible. Then, he would use his absolute strength to crush them.
This was Lin Fan's forte in using brute force.
Pshew …!
Just then, the leaves rustled.
Lin Fan, who had wanted to say something, frowned, "Someone's here …!"
"Huh …?" Xia Zehua was taken aback. He did not doubt Lin Fan's words at all. He then put up his guard.
"Righteous Party … We've been waiting for you guys for a long time." Just then, a voice boomed out from the skies. This voice sent chills down one's spine, as though it was sinister.
"Who's there?" Xia Zehua hollered. He was already used to this sort of sneak attack. But to think that someone could hide and not be discovered, Xia Zehua was a little worried.
Everyone gathered up and surveyed their surroundings warily.
"Scum, come on out! I, Mu Liang, shall let you know my prowess!" Mu Liang gulped down his saliva. The horn on his head glowed brightly as well, sending out a series of ripples. He was trying to sense the location of the incoming person.
But to Mu Liang's surprise, even after searching for half a day, he could not locate this person at all.
Evidently, this was a powerful being.
"Hehe …!" Suddenly, a sinister laugh rang out as a figure appeared in the skies.
The figure in the skies was dressed in long robes. His long hair floated in the air.
His features were no different from those of the human race. However, there was a strange aura emanating from him.
"Void World, Xu Wuxin?" Xia Zehua looked at the figure who had appeared. When he saw the face of the figure clearly, his face changed.
"Seems like you recognize me." Xu Wuxin looked at the righteous party with a relaxed expression, as though they were nothing in his eyes.
"Hmph, scum of the Void World. Who doesn't know of you? In order to suck up to the ancient race, you killed your own father and sold out your fellow tribesmen. Scum of the world like you deserves to be punished!" Xia Zehua said in disdain.
Who wouldn't know of the huge incident that had happened recently?
Xu Wuxin of the Void World had sold out his fellow tribesmen. Countless people from the Void World had been captured by the ancient race. Not only that, he had joined the ancient race and been promoted to a centurion.
"HAHA …!" The moment Xu Wuxin heard these words, he burst out laughing. His laughter was extremely chilling.
"The strong preys on the weak. Survival of the fittest. You guys are really dumb to the max …! To think that a joke like a lie would be believed by a party like you guys! HAHAHA …!" Xu Wuxin burst out laughing.
"Huh …?" Xia Zehua and the others' faces changed.
"The Marquis of Despair is so strong! How could he be injured? HAHAHA …!" Xu Wuxin looked at the righteous party with pity. To him, these people were simply way too dumb.
Lin Fan sighed helplessly. To think that retribution would come so quickly. If he hadn't bumped into them, this righteous party would have been nothing more than a cannon fodder party.
But now, it was hard to say.
"Sir Xu, you're amazing indeed! To think that you could lure these ants over with just a single lie!"
"Kill them and we'll be rewarded by the Heaven's Will!"
...
Just then, ancient race soldiers walked out from the shadows one by one.
One of them was a decanus.
Looking at these ancient race soldiers, Xia Zehua could no longer maintain his composure. If it were just Xu Wuxin alone, he would have the confidence to get everyone out of this place safely.
But now that so many ancient race soldiers had appeared, it was hard to say for sure.
For Lin Fan, this was indeed the case of whatever he was lacking, he would get it.
The duration of the strongest BUFF on his interface was almost up as well.
Initially, he was still lamenting over the fact that he had missed out on the pinnacle of his life just like that.
But now, someone had come knocking on his door.
No one could snatch kills from the Young Master right now!
Lin Fan took a step forth and patted Xia Zehua on the shoulders.
"Don't worry, Brother Xia. Just stand back and watch." Lin Fan replied calmly.
"Brother Lin …!" Xia Zehua called out worriedly.
Lin Fan turned around and looked at the members of the righteous party, "All of you better watch carefully. No one is to snatch any kills from me. I'll take all of them!"
Xia Zehua, "..."
Mu Liang, "..."
...
Azure celestial lower level. Not bad, but it might not be enough.
