Chapter 196: Lan Ying's Warning—Exquisite Jade Flute!
No one had any objections.
Immediately, the group resumed their advance toward the depths of the core region—heading for Hundred Dynasty Mountain.
In this core region, news spread with astonishing speed.
As Lin Fan and his companions continued on, the news of his annihilation of the Daluo Dynasty had already spread like wildfire.
Naturally, it caused a huge commotion.
The Daluo Dynasty was known for its strength—even among super dynasties, it wasn't weak.
And yet, they had been completely wiped out by Lin Fan.
This made several other super dynasties who had been eyeing Lin Fan's group quietly reconsider their intentions.
As a result, they encountered no further trouble along the way.
With Lin Fan's name growing ever louder, more and more people were starting to realize—
In this generation's Hundred Dynasty War, this group would shine the brightest.
Lin Fan, however, paid no attention to these thoughts. He simply led the group forward, and by midday the next day, their silhouettes finally came to a halt.
Lin Fan landed lightly atop a towering ancient tree and looked forward.
Not far ahead was a vast wild forest shaped like a basin.
From a glance, there seemed to be no end in sight.
A thick aura of violence and killing intent wafted from within.
At the heart of that forest stood a majestic mountain.
Its summit was flat, as though someone had cleaved it in half with a blade.
The mountain soared a thousand meters high, standing out even in the wild forest.
From its peak, a unique aura radiated outward.
"So this is… Hundred Dynasty Mountain."
Behind Lin Fan, Lin Dong stared at the towering peak, eyes burning with anticipation.
Mo Ling, Su Kui, and the others were equally excited.
After over a year of brutal cultivation and battle, they had finally reached this final battlefield.
"Haha! Hundred Dynasty Mountain—we finally made it!"
Above the forest, countless figures surged forward like locusts.
Eyes filled with frenzy, some even laughed wildly as they stared at the mountain.
"Brother Lin Fan, what's the plan?"
Lin Dong asked, his gaze fixed on the peak.
Before Lin Fan could answer, a cold, clear voice cut in.
Everyone's expression shifted.
Lin Fan looked calmly toward a nearby tree, where a blue-robed woman stood gracefully.
He smiled.
"Thank you, miss, for the explanation."
"You're Lin Fan, aren't you? I heard your group wiped out the Daluo Dynasty.
It's been a long time since someone like you appeared from a low-tier dynasty."
The woman smiled as she walked over gracefully.
"I'm Lan Ying, from the Immortal Dynasty."
She extended a jade-white hand, her expression open and clear.
On her palm—
a shining violet-gold Nirvana Seal.
The moment she revealed it, Su Kui's face filled with shock.
Lin Dong and the others also stared in awe—it was their first time seeing one up close.
Lin Fan remained calm. He reached out and gently tapped her hand.
[Ding! You touched Lan Ying and obtained: Heaven-tier Spirit Treasure—Exquisite Jade Flute!]
Note: This treasure enhances the power of sound-based attacks.
As soon as their hands touched, the system's familiar voice rang out in Lin Fan's mind.
Unexpected, but excellent!
He quickly focused and withdrew his hand.
"Lin Fan, Great Flame Dynasty."
After a few polite exchanges, Lan Ying reminded Lin Fan that one of the top ten super dynasties, the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, would likely come for them.
Suddenly—
BZZZZT!
A loud hum rang through the air.
Everyone looked up to see a beam of light shooting from Hundred Dynasty Mountain into the sky.
A figure appeared in the air.
He stood on a massive sword, wearing the robes of a super sect.
His eagle-sharp eyes swept over the crowd with terrifying authority.
A wave of invisible pressure rippled through the air, and the crowd instantly fell silent.
"A year of cultivation has brought you here. That alone proves your strength.
But entry into the super sects is strict—only the best will be chosen."
The man's voice rolled like thunder.
**"To ascend Hundred Dynasty Mountain, you need only one thing—
a Nirvana Seal of violet-gold hue.
Reach the top, and your year of training will not be in vain."
After explaining a few more rules, he said loudly:
"I now declare—the Hundred Dynasty War officially begins!"
Then the sword-riding elder vanished into the sky.
BOOM!
In the next instant, the world trembled.
The skies were filled with thunderous wind as countless silhouettes surged forward, diving into the forest below.
"I'll go on ahead, Lin Fan.
I hope to see you on Hundred Dynasty Mountain."
Lan Ying turned to Lin Fan with a charming smile before vanishing in a blur of afterimages.
"Let's go.
Time to gather some Nirvana Seals."
Lin Fan's gaze followed her for a moment, then turned back to the group.
With that, he shot forward like a roc soaring through the sky, plunging into the forest.
Behind him, Lin Dong and the others followed closely.
SWOOSH!
As they entered the savage forest, they immediately sensed the explosion of chaotic combat all around.
Everyone here was like a wild beast—
After struggling so long to reach this place, no one wanted to be eliminated now.
"What's the plan?"
Su Kui looked around cautiously, his expression tense.
Lin Fan smiled.
"Head straight for the base of the mountain.
That's where the real elites are—and their Nirvana Seals are the ones worth taking."
Just as he finished speaking—
SWOOSH!
Dozens of figures hurtled toward them from all directions.
