Chapter 139: Xiao Diao's Admiration, Entering the Ancient Battlefield!
At the same time, Lin Fan channeled Yuan Power into his palm, ready to use it to suppress the Nirvana Devil Flame if necessary.
Not only that, he also activated the Spatial Ancestral Talisman, placing a spatial barrier behind his finger just in case things went wrong.
Fwoosh!
Moments later, the Nirvana Devil Flame touched Lin Fan's fingertip—but surprisingly, it didn't cause him any harm.
Perfect!
Looks like this tribulation wouldn't pose a problem after all.
Even the Nirvana Devil Flame couldn't injure his body. Lin Fan finally felt at ease.
His Fire-Resistant Body was simply too powerful!
The Nirvana Devil Flame couldn't harm him—it only served to further temper his body.
For Lin Fan, going through the Nirvana Tribulation was practically a walk in the park.
After a few more minutes, the flames outside his body faded, while inside, small sparks of Nirvana Devil Flame began to appear.
They gradually condensed into floating black flames.
But even these served only as nourishment for his body, not harm.
…
While Lin Fan underwent his third Nirvana Tribulation, not far from his room, Clan Leader Lin Fan sensed the sudden surge of Nirvana energy, and his expression shifted.
"That's… a Nirvana Tribulation!"
He hurried outside Lin Fan's door, his gaze serious.
Though Lin Fan himself had never gone through the Nirvana Tribulation, he was familiar with it.
Feeling the terrifying heat of the Nirvana Fire and the emergence of Nirvana Devil Flame, a trace of worry appeared on Lin Fan's face.
To most people, those flames were virtually unbearable.
"I hope he can make it through…"
He silently stood watch, praying for Lin Fan's success.
If even the clan leader noticed, of course Xiao Diao, next door to Lin Fan, did as well.
While Lin Dong was still refining his bone spear, Xiao Diao quietly floated over to Lin Fan's room.
When he saw that Lin Fan wasn't the least bit afraid of the Nirvana Fire or even the Devil Flame—and was using them to temper his body—his eyes widened.
What kind of freak is this guy?!
Nirvana Fire was already terrifying enough, but Nirvana Devil Flame?
And Lin Fan was absorbing it like it was training fuel?!
Even with all his experience, Xiao Diao had never seen anything like this.
And suddenly, Lin Fan's third tribulation didn't seem so shocking anymore.
Not long after, Emperor Mo Jingtian, who resided in the deeper parts of the palace, also sensed the disturbance from Lin Fan's courtyard.
Though he couldn't tell which level the tribulation was due to the distance, it didn't matter.
Any Nirvana Tribulation in the imperial capital was a clear sign of true strength.
The Lin Clan had produced a real monster!
…
Under the astonished and anxious gazes of Lin Fan, Mo Jingtian, and Xiao Diao, the Nirvana Devil Flame around Lin Fan's body finally faded.
This meant Lin Fan had successfully passed his third Nirvana Tribulation, officially becoming a Third Nirvana Stage cultivator!
"You little freak! You already hit Third Nirvana?!"
Xiao Diao blinked at Lin Fan as he finished cultivating. "And using Nirvana Fire and Devil Flame to refine your body—are you nuts?!"
Even the usually arrogant Xiao Diao couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
Of course, he didn't know Lin Fan had the Fire-Resistant Body—which made it possible.
Lin Fan smiled. "Maybe I was just born a little… different."
"I thought Lin Dong was already a freak, but clearly you've taken it to another level," Xiao Diao rolled his eyes.
Lin Fan's tone turned serious.
"You can't tell anyone about this. And definitely don't let Lin Dong try it. Got it?"
Xiao Diao raised a paw dismissively. "Yeah, yeah, I know."
With that, he floated back to Lin Dong's room.
Not long after, Clan Leader Lin Fan came to offer his congratulations.
Now that he had passed the third Nirvana Tribulation, Lin Fan didn't act any more high-profile than usual.
He continued to refine the energy in his Spirit Seal and quietly cultivate.
Meanwhile, Lin Dong completed his bone spear refinement and, with Xiao Diao's help and 30,000 Nirvana Pills, finally gained full control over the Blood Spirit Puppet.
Time passed quickly.
Soon, ten days had passed since the Sacred Spirit Pool experience.
That morning, as the first sunlight lit the sky, the Lin Clan members in the capital gathered solemnly.
They knew what day it was—
The day Lin Fan and Lin Dong would enter the Ancient Battlefield.
Their performance there would shape the Lin Clan's future.
"Let's go," said Lin Fan after glancing at the two young men for a long moment.
With a wave of his hand, he led the group toward the imperial palace.
Deep inside the palace stood a towering mountain—
It pierced the clouds, known across the Great Yan as Holy War Peak, a near-sacred place.
This was where the Ancient Battlefield Portal resided.
Atop the mountain, several figures had already gathered.
Among them were Mo Jingtian, Mo Ling, and other top representatives.
Not far from them, a massive stone formation stood.
The stones were carved with complex runes, radiating tremendous power, stirring the surrounding world energy.
"This teleportation array was built when the empire was founded," Lin Fan explained to Lin Fan and Lin Dong.
"A powerhouse from a super sect was commissioned to construct it. It leads directly into the Ancient Battlefield…"
Once everyone had arrived, Mo Jingtian's eyes swept across the crowd and began explaining the battlefield and what to expect inside.
After finishing, he said,
"Next is activating the array. As you all know, it costs 50,000 Nirvana Pills to do so. The Lin Clan has two participants this time, so that's 20,000."
Clan Leader Lin Fan wasn't surprised. He handed over two spatial pouches with the required pills.
"Sigh… Lin Fan, Lin Dong… the future of our clan is in your hands now," he said with a heavy tone.
The two nodded without a word.
Mo Jingtian flicked his fingers, and a river of Nirvana Pills surged into the ancient formation.
WENG WENG—
The formation rumbled.
The runes carved into the stones burst into radiant light, and a beam of energy began rising from the center.
"Mo Ling, Lin Fan—you five, step into the array!"
Mo Jingtian called out as the beam stabilized.
The five looked at each other, then without hesitation, shot into the formation.
BOOM!
As they entered, the beam of light exploded in brilliance, then gradually faded—
And the five figures were gone.
