Chapter 184: Total Domination—Swallowing the Immortal Origin Fruit!
Yin Sen stood frozen, staring at the golden name floating above the Nirvana Monument—Lin Fan.
That name weighed on him like a mountain, suffocating.
If Lin Fan had only reached fifth or sixth, he would have been uneasy, but not terrified.
But first place?
Yin Sen knew exactly what that ranking meant.
He also knew the young man before him, who had surpassed even elite war generals of super dynasties, was no simple figure.
That slap he received earlier? Completely deserved.
Mu Hanyue's beautiful eyes locked onto the tall, spear-like figure before the monument. Her lips pressed into a thin line as a strange light flickered through her gaze.
Even Chang Ling now looked at Lin Fan with solemn eyes, unable to hide the deep wariness rising within him.
"Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, Xiao Yan—you guys give it a try too."
Lin Fan turned calmly toward his brothers, a warm smile on his face despite the countless eyes on him.
Lin Dong nodded slightly and stepped forward. Pressing his hand to the cold monument—
Whoosh!
A dazzling golden light erupted from his palm and soared upward, eventually pushing down the previous second-place and settling neatly right beneath Lin Fan.
Lin Dong — Earth Tier, Rank 2.
Next came Xiao Diao, stretching lazily as he strolled up.
Without much effort, he pressed his hand on the monument, and in an instant, a brilliant light burst forth, tearing upward like a blade—
Rank 3.
Lin Diao — Earth Tier, Rank 3.
Finally, Xiao Yan grinned and pressed his broad hand against the stone.
Buzz…
Golden light surged again under countless numb gazes, this time coming to rest just behind Xiao Diao.
Lin Yan — Earth Tier, Rank 4.
At that moment, everyone around the Nirvana Monument went completely still.
They stared at the golden names high above, feeling dizzy with disbelief.
In less than ten minutes, the top four Earth Tier ranks had all been replaced!
Such an upheaval—how could they not be shocked?
Huff…
Even the icy Mu Hanyue exhaled deeply, staring at the four figures standing before the monument in astonishment.
To seize the entire top four—
Even the four great super dynasties of Myriad Phenomena City had never managed such a feat.
But now, these four unknowns had done it.
"Just what kind of miraculous place is the Great Flame Dynasty?"
Mu Hanyue murmured as her lips pressed tightly together. She realized that with their appearance, the city was about to become even more chaotic.
The area around the Nirvana Monument remained silent.
All eyes were fixed on Lin Fan's group. Everyone knew: once this news spread, it would cause a huge stir throughout the city.
Su Kui could only gape at the scene, tongue clicking in disbelief.
He had never expected Lin Fan's strength to be so terrifying—first place.
And what was even more outrageous was that Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan had taken second to fourth!
Such strength… such a lineup… was honestly frightening.
Su Rou didn't think about it that deeply. She simply smiled with joy, her little face glowing with pride as she sneaked a smug glance at the now-miserable Yin Sen.
He'd acted so arrogantly with his ninth place earlier…
Look at him now.
Lin Fan smiled slightly at his three brothers as they returned and nodded in approval.
He knew that Lin Dong and Xiao Yan's placements made sense.
As for Xiao Diao, with his ability, third place was him holding back—if he truly wanted to, he could have reached the Heaven Tier.
Xiao Diao always complained about not wanting to be third, yet here he was, acting the part perfectly.
"What's with that look?"
Xiao Diao frowned, annoyed at the way Lin Fan was looking at him.
Lin Fan chuckled. "Nothing, just thought it's funny how our rankings match our birth order. Must be fate."
"Pfft! I let you and Lin Dong have it this time. Otherwise, I'd have crushed you both!"
Xiao Diao rolled his eyes, sulking.
"Haha, yeah yeah, we know how strong you are,"
Lin Fan laughed it off.
Glancing to the side, he noticed Yin Sen and his men trying to slink away while they chatted.
Lin Fan's eyes flashed coldly—
Then he let them go.
This was Myriad Phenomena City, after all. Killing too many people might draw attention from the super sects maintaining order here.
Besides, Yin Sen looked thoroughly defeated. He likely wouldn't dare cause more trouble.
Just then, a voice spoke up nearby.
"Greetings, friends. I'm Chang Ling. If you're willing, perhaps we could get acquainted?"
Lin Fan turned and saw Chang Ling approaching with a polite clasp of his hands.
There was no resentment on his face, only genuine intent to connect.
Lin Fan replied with a smile,
"I'm Lin Fan. These are my brothers—Lin Dong, Lin Diao, Lin Yan."
"To take the top four Nirvana Rankings in one sweep… that's a first in this city.
Brother Lin Fan, I have no doubt you'll shine in the coming Hundred Dynasty War."
Chang Ling bowed slightly, clearly impressed.
"Hehe, just lucky,"
Lin Fan replied lightly.
Chang Ling smiled and shook his head. With the Nirvana Monument's tests, there was no such thing as luck.
He could tell Lin Fan didn't want to dwell on the topic, so he shifted gears.
"Brother Lin Fan, you've come to Myriad Phenomena City just in time for the auction in two days, yes?"
"Something like that," Lin Fan replied.
"It's said that this time, a Heaven-Grade Spirit Treasure will be up for bid. You might find something worthwhile."
A clear, calm voice suddenly interjected.
Lin Fan turned and saw the white-clad woman—Mu Hanyue.
"Thanks for the tip,"
Lin Fan said, nodding politely.
Mu Hanyue gave a small nod in return, glanced briefly at the four of them, then turned and left.
After a few more words with Lin Fan, Chang Ling also took his leave.
Once he confirmed they weren't affiliated with any super dynasty, he knew they'd be valuable allies—but also more dangerous than expected.
"Let's go find a place to stay,"
Lin Fan said after watching them depart.
No one objected.
With Su Kui leading the way, the group found a quiet courtyard within the city to settle down for now.
And as the crowds scattered from the monument, the story of Lin Fan's group spread like wildfire throughout Myriad Phenomena City.
Four newcomers taking the entire Earth Tier top four?
It shook the entire city.
Back at the courtyard, Lin Fan turned to his brothers.
"I'm going to shut myself in for a bit. You guys look into that auction—see if there's anything useful we might want."
"Got it," Lin Dong nodded.
After exchanging a few more words, Lin Fan entered his room, took out the Immortal Origin Fruit, and swallowed it in one gulp.
BOOM!
An instant later, a violent surge of energy erupted within him.
"Purify!"
Lin Fan growled inwardly, immediately activating the Thunder Ancestor Symbol.
