Chapter 1569: Ocean of Time

At this moment, outside the sealed Underworld Clan’s territory, many Holy Lords from the Belly of the Large World had gathered.

“Everyone, I have no other intentions in coming here. I have a score to settle with the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan and have come specifically for revenge.

“After wiping out the Underworld Clan, this territory is yours to take.”

Xu Fan’s calm voice resonated.

The gazes of numerous Holy Lords turned to Xu Fan.

“The Underworld Clan has already become part of the Belly of the Large World; how can we let you destroy them so easily?”

“Do me a favor; let this grudge go. I’ll host a feast, and you can toast to settle your differences, how about that?” a kindly-faced Holy Lord suggested.

Hearing this, Xu Fan chuckled.

“I’d like to see just how much weight your favor carries.”

Several powerful thoughts suddenly locked onto Xu Fan, followed by countless supreme laws descending, attempting to suppress him.

Xu Fan simply observed his own thoughts with ease.

“Interesting. I sense your favor isn’t worth much. My apologies, but the Underworld Clan must be destroyed,” Xu Fan said leisurely.

At that moment, 16 Holy Lords surrounded Xu Fan.

“I’ll ask you one last time: will you grant me this favor or not?” The kindly-faced Holy Lord’s voice turned sharp.

Just as all the Holy Lords prepared to strike, a Giant Hand suddenly appeared in the sky, seizing all of them.

In that instant, every Holy Lord felt as though their very existence was controlled by this Giant Hand.

“Now, tell me if I should grant you this favor,” Xu Fan said calmly.

“Yes, of course!” The Holy Lord who had spoken earlier was stunned.

“Then what do you suggest? Should I grant this favor and let you all go?”

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a tea table appeared. He then began sipping tea leisurely.

The Holy Lords, still held by the Giant Hand, looked terrified.

“Don’t worry, I’m a man of kindness and can’t stand matters of life and death.”

“But if you provoke me, I won’t simply let you go; that wouldn’t sit well with me.”

“What do you think we should do?” Xu Fan said, savoring his tea.

“I’m willing to offer all my possessions, as long as you spare our lives,” the kindly-faced Holy Lord said.

“It seems unfair for one person to save sixteen by offering their entire fortune. If word gets out, people might think I’m easy to push around.”

As Xu Fan spoke, he glanced at the fierce battle raging in the Underworld Clan’s territory.

Both sides were unleashing their full power.

“We are all willing to give up everything we own, as long as you spare us!” Hearing this, the other Holy Lords quickly understood and offered their fortunes without hesitation.

Compared to their lives, nothing else mattered.

“Very well, hand it over first.”

The Giant Hand gave them some room to maneuver.

Suddenly, sixteen Space Treasures appeared before Xu Fan.

He examined each one carefully, releasing them one by one.

“They’re all quite honest; not one dared to hide anything,” Xu Fan said, slightly disappointed. He had hoped to crush a few Holy Lords to see how it felt.

The battle in the Underworld Clan’s territory raged on for a full 400,000 years.

Except for the Holy Lords from the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan had to resurrect each of the others at least a hundred times.

When the battle finally ended, the entire Underworld Clan territory lay in ruins.

The Underworld Clan was wiped out in this Unrefined Chaotic Area.

With his mind at ease, Xu Fan led everyone back to the Chaotic Mist Area.

As soon as they returned, all the Holy Lords in the Chaotic Mist Area came to visit.

“Friend Xu, hurry! Let’s go claim those Chaotic Areas before others take them all,” urged the Burning Heaven Holy Lord, his voice filled with urgency.

Without Xu Fan and his Holy Lords, their progress in clearing the Chaotic Areas had slowed to a crawl.

Just then, Zhang Xueling emerged from Xu Fan’s Interstitial World.

“Perfect timing! Let’s go out and secure some spots for the sect,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand to send all the Holy Lords from the sect out.

Xu Fan hoped the sect could gain a few more Holy Lords before he left.

At that moment, a powerful thought descended upon the Chaotic Mist Area.

“Holy Lord Xu, could you come for a discussion?” came the voice of Holy Lord Daoyun.

All the Holy Lords in the Chaotic Mist Area turned their eyes to Xu Fan.

They hadn’t realized when he had become a Holy Lord.

In a vast Unrefined Chaotic Area, a grand palace stood tall.

Inside, peerless beauties moved gracefully, attending to Holy Lord Lingyue and Xu Fan.

“What brings you here, friend?” Xu Fan asked.

“A second realm Powerful Being seeks to suppress us. I need your help,” Holy Lord Daoyun replied.

“What’s in it for me?” Xu Fan asked lightly.

“With the Human Alliance stabilized, your sect will become its second strongest force,” Holy Lord Daoyun explained.

“But that’s a second realm Powerful Being! The Primordial Supreme Treasure you hold can defend against them,” Xu Fan countered.

“It can, but only as a defense.”

“I know a bit about this second realm Powerful Being. If we unite and eliminate him, I can ascend to the second realm myself. Then, I’ll make a supreme oath to ensure your lineage of humans enjoys eternal prosperity,” Holy Lord Daoyun declared.

“Ha, Holy Lord Daoyun, your ambition is loud and clear.”

“The second realm Powerful Being is about to strike. I may act, but only to join forces in suppressing him.”

“You’re overthinking this,” Xu Fan said before vanishing without a trace.

Holy Lord Daoyun stared at the empty space before him, a shadow of gloom darkening his eyes.

Back at the Hidden Spirit Sect, in the courtyard,

Xu Fan pulled out his now-empty little notebook and wrote Holy Lord Daoyun’s name on the cover.

“I thought everything was nearly perfect, but it seems trouble still finds me before I leave,” Xu Fan sighed.

In that brief exchange, lasting less than a minute, Xu Fan had already decided Holy Lord Daoyun’s fate.

He had to deal with him before leaving; otherwise, he wouldn’t rest easy.

“Master, there’s been a change regarding the Yuan Lord,” Grape’s voice chimed in.

“What is it? Has the balance shifted?”

Thinking of the Yuan Lord, Xu Fan’s lips curled into a slight smile.

“As per your plan, the Yuan Lord has entered the final stage.”

A light curtain appeared before Xu Fan, showing Holy Lord Lingyue and the Yuan Lord, affectionate as a young couple in love.

By now, the Yuan Lord had reached the peak Great Saint-level of Chaos, on the verge of securing a spot.

“Not bad. He didn’t waste my initial plans for him,” Xu Fan chuckled.

In the Unrefined Chaotic Area, Xu Fan stood quietly amidst the unrefined material, eyes closed as if sensing something profound.

In his mind’s eye, an endless ocean of time unfolded.

Within it, countless true spirits gathered. Guided by fate, Xu Fan found the image of an old beggar.

“I never thought you’d truly just be an ordinary old beggar,” Xu Fan said, his voice tinged with nostalgia.

He remembered the years they had spent together, relying on each other.

As he reminisced, the ocean of time slowly faded away.
