Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City

"Damn it! Still trying to argue? This King bestows upon you death!"

The Dragon King's expression darkened as he reached out a large hand and crushed it down towards the head of the Supreme Elder from the Heavenly Fire Sect!

The void trembled, and the earth quaked!

The awe of the Dragon King was so immense that it almost seemed to collapse the entire sky!

In that instant.

The Heavenly Fire Sect's Supreme Elder didn't have any chance to resist as he was ground to dust by the Dragon King on the spot, turning into a mist of blood, dead beyond any doubt!

A Seventh Rank Saint Emperor, just like an ant!

Another Supreme Elder, completely scared witless, abruptly fell to his knees with a thump: "Dragon King, your daughter... she really isn't with our Heavenly Fire Sect, there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Hmph! Misunderstanding? My intuition never fails! Since you won't speak, then I shall search myself!"

With a cold snort, the Dragon King didn't bother with further words and slapped the Supreme Elder to death!

"Dig three feet into the ground if you must, but find my daughter for me!"

"Yes, sir!"

A million-strong Water Clan army simultaneously emitted a mighty shout, as they mightily surged forth into the territories of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Searching every inch of land!

For the Heavenly Fire Sect, this was nothing short of a disaster.

The members of the Heavenly Fire Sect simply couldn't withstand the Dragon Clan's million-strong army, being comprehensively defeated, with numerous disciples of the Heavenly Fire Sect scrambling to flee. But it was futile. As soon as someone fled the bounds of the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Dragon King personally took action to erase them!

Inside the Heavenly Fire Sect, it instantly became a Shura Hell with countless dead and injured!

Ultimately.

The whole Heavenly Fire Sect was nearly annihilated, leaving not a single survivor!

When the Dragon King gets angry, a million corpses lay down; it's no joke!

The cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect, were they only a million?

Yet still, they were all slaughtered by the massive army of the Water Clan!

Not a single one was spared!

A bloody rain even began to fall from the skies above the Heavenly Fire Sect, as the dense stench of blood permeated the air!

"Dragon King, we didn't find the whereabouts of the Princess, but we found a forbidden land protected by an array that we can't breach," reported a Water Clan general who had arrived.

"Let's go!"

Under the lead of this general, the Dragon King arrived at the outskirts of Heavenly Fire Sect's forbidden land.

At this moment.

The Elders inside the forbidden land were still furiously attacking the cave where Lin Fan and Chen Xue were hidden, oblivious to everything happening outside.

...

Meanwhile.

Lin Fan's cultivation was visibly surging at breakneck speed, climbing from the Early Stage Of Unification, through the middle stages, to Late Stage Of Unification, and peaking at the pinnacle of Late Stage Of Unification...

"Freak!"

"This is downright freakish!"

Chen Xue, watching this unravel, couldn't help but comment. She was completely stunned.

Now she truly believed that Lin Fan's cultivation was at the Early Stage Of Unification, beyond a doubt!

Because she was right there watching when Lin Fan advanced.

Cultivation can be concealed, but the aura released during advancement cannot be faked!

Just now.

Lin Fan had advanced right in front of Chen Xue's eyes, from the Early Stage Of Unification all the way to the peak of the Late Stage Of Unification!

Simultaneously.

He had consumed half of a massive piece of Fire Vein Essence!

A full half of the Fire Vein Essence had only elevated Lin Fan's cultivation from the Early Stage Of Unification to the peak of the Late Stage? This was... too exaggerated!

You should know, Chen Xue had cultivated here for over a hundred years, advancing from a First Rank Holy Emperor to a Ninth Rank Holy Emperor, barely using up much of the Fire Vein Essence.

Yet Lin Fan had used half the Fire Vein Essence and still hadn't broken through the Unification Realm? If this wasn't exaggeration, what was?

Chen Xue even speculated, how much energy would Lin Fan need to become a Ninth Rank Holy Emperor?

A tiny bit of energy, I'm afraid... might not be enough!

Suddenly.

Without any warning, Lin Fan's eyes snapped open with a low roar!

"Breakthrough!"

"Buzz!"

The aura inside Lin Fan underwent a heaven-shaking transformation, his entire temperament and momentum radically changed, and a Holy Level aura burst forth from within him.

Just a moment ago.

The last barrier was pierced through by Lin Fan!

He had successfully shattered the shackles of his realm.

Correspondingly, the half of the Fire Vein Essence beneath Lin Fan was rapidly diminishing, turning into a vast surge of essence that flowed into Lin Fan's body!

First Rank Ancient Saint!

Second Rank Ancient Saint!

Third Rank Ancient Saint!

Lin Fan's cultivation soared to the Third Rank Ancient Saint before it finally came to a stop.

And that hundred-foot tall Fire Vein Essence had completely vanished, leaving no trace behind!

"Little Fan Fan, you're quite lucky! You've finally advanced to the Ancient Saint Realm!" Emperor Jade congratulated through a divine transmission.

Lin Fan sat there, frowning slightly, and asked curiously, "Emperor Jade, why do I feel that the aura of an Ancient Saint is almost the same as that of the Sage Venerable, Holy Emperor, and Saint Emperor?"

Lin Fan voiced his doubt.

From the moment he stepped into the Holy Level, he felt it was strange, though there was a qualitative leap, it seemed oddly similar!

"You've sensed it?"

"Hmm, I always feel that the so-called Ancient Saints, Sage Venerables, Holy Emperors, and Saint Emperors are all part of one super Great Realm, right?" Lin Fan nodded.

"Smart!" Emperor Jade replied appreciatively, smiling, "Indeed it is so! Despite Ancient Saints, Sage Venerables, Holy Emperors, and Saint Emperors being differentiated into four major realms, in reality, they all bear the 'saint' character, and at the end of the day, people of these realms are just at the 'holy' level, only with different heights, hence the distinction into the realms of Ancient Saint, Sage Venerable, Holy Emperor, and Saint Emperor!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Fan's heart moved, and he continued to inquire.

"Let me explain it this way, it's like in your schools on Earth, there are middle school and high school, but within high school, there are also grades like the first, second, and third year... Entering the Ancient Saint Realm is like being in the first year, Sage Venerable is like the second year, Holy Emperor equals the third year, and the Saint Emperor is like someone about to take the college entrance exam! Though they are in different realms, at the end of the day, these people are all high school students on the same platform; even the Saint Emperor hasn't broken through the 'holy' boundary! Does this explanation make sense to you?" Emperor Jade asked with a smile, patiently explaining to Lin Fan.

"So, realms like Ancient Saint, Sage Venerable, Holy Emperor, and Saint Emperor are all on the same platform, but just with different heights within that platform! I sort of understand, but... I'm not really clear," Lin Fan secretly nodded, then shook his head.

"Your understanding is correct, but it's fine if you're not clear on it for now; you'll understand eventually! It's far more valuable to explore it on your own than to rely on others' explanations," Emperor Jade said.

"Alright!"

Lin Fan stopped asking and opened his eyes.

"Congratulations, Young Master Lin!" Chen Xue had already been overwhelmed with shock, but upon seeing Lin Fan's advancement and his eyes opening, she still spoke with a smile.

At the same time.

"Bang!"

The cave where Lin Fan was located burst open, a massive crack formed by the Elders of the Heavenly Fire Sect standing outside!

Seeing this, Lin Fan simply raised his hand and directly retracted Mystic Iron Mountain!

The group of Elders from the Heavenly Fire Sect sneered coldly as they entered the vast cave.

"Eh? What's up with this kid? Wasn't he at the Early Stage of Unification in terms of cultivation? How did he suddenly become a Third Rank Ancient Saint?" The Second Elder was puzzled as he looked at Lin Fan and mumbled.

Everyone else felt it was strange!

The aura exuded by Lin Fan was clearly at the Early Stage of Unification just a while ago, but in such a short amount of time, he had become a Third Rank Ancient Saint?

Even if Lin Fan had something on him that could hide his cultivation, could it possibly change the level of his cultivation at will?

Everyone was at a loss!

No one expected that Lin Fan had advanced in rank!

"Who cares! Just kill this kid directly, and then, take away the Fire Vein Essence!" the Fifth Elder said with a cold sneer, his voice chilling to the extreme.

Lin Fan stood there, listening intently, then turned his head and laughed, "Gentlemen, have you come to seek death?"
