Chapter 153: Ruthless Suppression, Dual Tribulation Breakthrough!
Chen Mu and his three companions quickly discovered that no matter how they fled, they couldn't escape the range of the giant hand blotting out the sky!
"Fight him head-on!"
Gritting his teeth, Chen Mu roared. He clenched his fist, and yuan power surged violently from his body.
As waves of wild energy swept out, Chen Mu's figure shot forward, charging straight toward the descending black hand.
He struck out with a series of palm prints, condensing his yuan power like a storm before unleashing a punch toward the giant hand.
"Mountain-Splitting Seal!"
His ferocious fist print crashed into the center of the giant hand with overwhelming force.
At the same time, his three fellow disciples also unleashed their most powerful attacks, aiming for the hand's center in a desperate attempt to blast a way out.
But it was all in vain.
The giant hand remained completely unmoved by their strikes and continued to close in around the four of them.
In moments, all four were caught in its grasp.
Then, the hand slowly began to clench into a fist, tightening without pause.
As it squeezed tighter and tighter, the space left for Chen Mu and the others to struggle grew smaller and smaller—until there was none left at all.
Realizing there was no longer any chance of survival, madness flashed through Chen Mu's eyes. His body abruptly swelled, and with a loud bang, exploded into a mist of blood!
From the blood mist, a streak of blood-red light shot forth and darted into Lin Fan's body in the blink of an eye.
"Lin Fan, from this day on, you'll be hunted by the Mo Rock Dynasty until death. I'll be waiting for you in the afterlife!"
His hateful voice echoed faintly across the blood-filled sky.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. Sweeping his spiritual power through his body, he quickly detected a tiny crimson brand lingering in one spot.
That's it?
Seeing the mark, Lin Fan remained indifferent. If he wished, he could erase it at any time.
And he wasn't afraid of being hunted by the Mo Rock Dynasty.
In fact, Lin Fan was already planning to head straight for Mo Rock City and personally wipe out the entire dynasty.
After all, he wasn't fond of trouble—and the best way to deal with troublemakers was to eliminate them completely.
"Scatter."
With a flick of his mind, the black giant hand dissolved into mist. He casually waved his hand, summoning over the spatial pouches of the four.
Then, Lin Fan descended to rejoin Lin Dong and the others.
Though everything sounded lengthy, it had all happened in a matter of moments.
As light returned to the sky, everyone in Thunder Rock Valley finally snapped out of their daze and turned to Lin Fan, their gazes filled with awe.
Not just the people from Yang City—even Hua Yun of the Xuan Ice Dynasty and Wu Mo of the Great Crow Dynasty were thoroughly stunned by Lin Fan's overwhelming strength and ruthless methods.
"Let's go. We're leaving," Lin Fan said simply to Lin Dong and the others, ignoring the surrounding forces and heading for the valley's exit.
Lin Dong, Mo Ling, and the rest followed without hesitation.
Once Lin Fan's group left, the rest of the factions in Thunder Rock Valley finally relaxed.
The pressure Lin Fan had exerted while present had been immense!
Now that he was gone, the atmosphere exploded with chatter.
"I never imagined someone as terrifying as Lin Fan would come from Yang City!"
"One move to obliterate a Nirvana stage and three half-step Nirvana experts... That's insane!"
"Chen Mu seemed to leave behind some kind of technique before he died. Do you think Lin Fan can avoid the Mo Rock Dynasty's pursuit?"
"Pursue Lin Fan? Hmph, who's chasing who is the real question!"
"Exactly! With strength like his, even among high-ranking dynasties, there's probably no one who can match him. Maybe only those from super dynasties could stand a chance."
…
Hua Yun and Wu Mo didn't join the discussions. The scene of Lin Fan's attack kept replaying in their minds, sending chills down their spines.
Without a word, they led their dynasties' people away from the area.
Liu Yuan and Ling Zhi exchanged glances, both wearing bitter smiles before leaving with the Great Yuan and Lingyun Dynasties.
Elsewhere, after exiting Thunder Rock Valley, Lin Fan came to a stop not long after.
"Brother Mo Tie, we're not returning to Yang City. You all should go back on your own," Lin Fan said after a moment of thought.
Mo Tie paused in surprise. "Then what are your plans, Brother Lin?"
"I'll probably be heading to the Mo Rock Dynasty first. Once I settle that score, I'll continue searching for more opportunities," Lin Fan replied calmly.
"The Mo Rock Dynasty is said to have both numbers and strength. Brother Lin, please be cautious," Mo Tie said with a worried expression, clasping his fists.
"Thanks for the reminder—I will." Lin Fan smiled. "You all stood up for us when it counted. I appreciate it. Take these three spatial pouches—consider it a small token of thanks."
He held out the spatial pouches from the three half-step Nirvana experts of the Mo Rock Dynasty.
Mo Tie quickly waved his hands. "If it weren't for Brother Lin, none of this would've gone so smoothly. We can't accept that."
"Don't refuse—just take them." Lin Fan smiled again and insisted on handing them over.
"Thank you!"
In the end, Mo Tie and the others accepted the pouches and offered their heartfelt thanks before saying their goodbyes and departing.
"These two pouches are for you three to divide. After this, we might go our separate ways for a while. Be careful in the Ancient Battlefield."
Once Mo Tie's group had left, Lin Fan handed the spatial pouches of Chen Mu and Li Pan to Mo Ling's group.
Though they declined at first, Lin Fan's insistence eventually persuaded them. After bidding him farewell, they also departed with some reluctance.
Only Lin Fan and Lin Dong remained.
"Let's go find a quiet place. I'm about to undergo my tribulation—you'll guard me," Lin Fan said as he watched them leave.
"You're going to attempt the fourth Nirvana Tribulation?" Lin Dong asked in surprise.
Lin Fan smiled. "And the second Wind and Lightning Tribulation too."
Lin Dong gave a helpless smile. "I'm not even at half-step Nirvana yet, and Brother Lin is already advancing to Four-Fold Nirvana. The gap keeps growing…"
Lin Fan shrugged. "Don't compare yourself to me. Just aim to surpass who you were yesterday."
Lin Dong nodded at the words.
Then, Lin Fan found a secluded spot and began to draw the Nirvana Tribulation.
Thanks to his Flame Resistance Constitution, what would terrify others was nothing to him. He easily overcame the tribulation and advanced to the Four-Fold Nirvana stage!
Boom boom!
Just after Lin Fan completed the Nirvana Tribulation, dark clouds gathered above. Lightning crackled and wind howled through the sky.
It was the sign—the Wind and Lightning Tribulation was coming!
As the thunderclouds swirled, a strange suction force erupted.
Under its pull, Lin Fan's spiritual body rose from within and hovered above his head.
Crack!
The clouds churned as a silver-gray bolt of lightning, imbued with wind and thunder power, tore through the sky and struck Lin Fan's spiritual body without mercy.
