Lin Yan's lonely figure could be seen in a mountain forest. It seemed like his presence was merged with the surroundings.
Even the little squirrels that ran past his feet couldn't detect his presence.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yanran and the others stood in another part of the forest, gazing at Lin Yan from afar.
"Half-Step Immortal Realm?!... My brother is actually a Half-step Immortal level cultivator?!" Xiao Yanran said. She couldn't come to accept this.
Xiao Mei, beside her, spoke excitedly, unlike her usual princess elegant tone, "Stop talking about him being at Half-step Immortal Realm. Now that your brother has begun fusing Heaven and Earth, he will soon become an Immortal."
When others heard her words, many stared at Lin Yan in the distance with envious faces.
It was inevitable that one would attain the Immortal Realm after fusing Heaven and Earth, which was also the dream of almost every cultivator in the Lingxuan continent.
Nevertheless, there weren't many who were able to succeed in achieving this.
But now, Lin Yan was successful in attaining this and was about to make a breakthrough.
Well, it seemed like after resolving the matter of the Seven Star Sect, the knot in Lin Yan's heart was long gone.
So, when Lin Yan returned, he began fusing Heaven and Earth. As long as he was able to complete it and overcome the immortal tribulation, he would be able to have a breakthrough into the Immortal Realm.
…
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
Staring at the screen above, Xiao Mei and the others had nervous expressions.
Back then, the day after successfully having a breakthrough into the Immortal Realm, Lin Yan returned to the Heavenly Palace, fought against the former Heavenly Emperor, and beheaded him publicly.
Lin Yan had begun fusing Heaven and Earth, which means the time before he rejoined the Heavenly Palace was nearing.
"Could it be that a Phase-less Devil possessed Lin Yan while he was making a breakthrough?"
Xiao Mei, Xiao Yanran, and the others peered over the screen above with nervous expressions.
Ever since Lin Feng mentioned this possibility, Xiao Mei and Xiao Yanran's thoughts turned complicated.
Both hoped that the Phase-less Devils wouldn't possess Lin Yan, but deep in their hearts, they were vaguely expecting such a thing to happen.
Because once the Phase-less Devil possessed Lin Yan, that would mean the Phase-less Devils did the numerous evil deeds he did afterward, and it had nothing to do with Lin Yan himself.
But this also meant the same thing: Lin Yan had already died ten thousand years ago, and what survived was just the body possessed by the Phaseless Devil.
…
"If the Phase-less Devil really possessed the Heavenly Emperor, wouldn't that mean that we actually misjudged the Heavenly Emperor, and the one who slaughtered our clansmen was actually the Phase-less Devil but not the Heavenly Emperor?"
"You can't think of it that way. Whether it's the Heavenly Emperor or the Phaseless Devil, they are actually one. We didn't find the wrong person to seek revenge."
"Does anyone believe that the Heavenly Emperor was actually possessed by the Phase-less Devil? We killed him today. Wouldn't that mean we've not only avenged the destruction of our clan but also saved the entire Lingxuan Continent? So, we are the saviors of the Lingxuan Continent, aren't we?"
The cultivators began to mutter among themselves. However, the last one was spoken with excitement.
Everyone was momentarily frozen but soon became excited.
Indeed, everyone around the Lingxuan Continent had already seen the Heavenly Emperor's memory through the screen.
If they witnessed the Heavenly Emperor possessed by the Phase-less Devil because of which he had done countless evil deeds, then the members of the Anti-Heavenly Emperor Alliance would gain a reputation.
The members of the Anti-Heavenly Emperor Alliance fought till the very end, attacked the Heavenly Palace, and perished the Heavenly Emperor possessed by a Phaseless Devil.
Wouldn't they be in the limelight?
If these did appear, then in the future, no matter where they went on the Lingxuan Continent, they would become a heroic existence that everyone would cheer for.
Listening to this, even Ling Feng was excited.
He was the leader of this anti-Heavenly Emperor alliance team. If the people of the Lingxuan Continent saw him leading everyone through all the hardships to exterminate the Heavenly Emperor possessed by a Phase-less Devil, his reputation would reach an unprecedented height.
Throughout the ages, he was afraid no one could compare with him.
Not to mention if he wanted to be the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, even the Supreme Emperor of the entire Lingxuan Continent, he was afraid everyone would cheer and support him instead.
Imagining such a scene, Lin Feng even vaguely trembled with excitement.
He raised his head to look at the screen in the sky.
The rest looked up with bated breath.
…
(Within The Screen In The Sky)
Although Lin Yan could achieve the divine fusion of heaven and earth, he wasn't in a hurry to have a breakthrough into the Immortal realm but insisted on slowly fusing heaven and earth every day.
With the aid of Divine Fusion's Heaven and Earth, he sensed the world laws of the Lingxuan Continent.
This lasted for nearly ten years.
When the crowd became a little impatient, it was this day that Lin Yan's body suddenly disappeared.
…
"The highest realm of divine fusion of heaven and earth ….The World Is My Domain."
On The Lingxuan continent, many powerhouses stared at the screen above with wide-open eyes.
-The World Is My Domain. This was the art that could be learned only after an Immortal fuses heaven and earth and comprehends all the rules of the world.
The cultivators, using this art, could merge the Lingxuan continent into themselves.
Even their physical body would be integrated into the Lingxuan continent.
As long as the Lingxuan Continent lasts, they won't die.
It was said that in order to enter the Eternal Realm, the first thing for one to do was to learn 'The World Is My Domain'.
But learning this wasn't easy.
Only a few immortals could manage to fuse heaven and earth.
The Lingxuan continent was a vast place with more than ten million rules that make up this world. It wasn't a simple feat to comprehend all these rules.
Even Immortals would have a hard time comprehending all the world's rules in their life span.
This was why no Eternal Realm cultivator showed up on the Lingxuan continent for many years.
But now, even though Lin Yan hadn't entered the immortal realm, he was already enlightened with the 'The World Is My Domain'.
Before entering the Immortal Realm, Lin Yan had already learned the art of the Eternal Life realm.
For others, cultivating would turn much more difficult the further they go.
But when it came to Lin Yan, no matter if it was at the beginning or now, cultivating was a child's play.
At this moment, Lin Feng and others were again dumbfounded, looking at the screen.
As Immortal Realm cultivators, they desired to learn 'The World Is My Domain'.
But as they weren't confident enough to learn 'The World Is My Domain', they found a way to use the Linglong Treasure mirror to sneak up on the Heavenly Emperor
