Episode 18, Chapter 12: One Step Back
Within the grand Heavenly Venerable Mountain, the state of the Divine Kings was somewhat comical at this moment. Sixteen Divine Kings formed a grand formation in front of the Relief Channel. Several weaker Divine Kings even hid inside the Relief Channel, fearing Luo Fan would come and kill them.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lan, Zuo Qiulin, Yi Feng, and nearly ten other powerful Divine Kings gathered together. They were not afraid of Luo Fan attacking. Luo Fan did not have the ability to kill Jiang Lan and his group instantly. Moreover... behind Jiang Lan, Yi Feng, and others stood Qin Yu, who Luo Fan was most wary of.
Facing the Eight Great Saint Emperors, Luo Fan could escape using his speed.
But facing Qin Yu?
Rather offend the Eight Great Saint Emperors than offend Qin Yu lightly. This was a plan Luo Fan had made early in his heart. It was not that he was afraid of Qin Yu, but he did not have enough confidence when it came to Qin Yu.
He would not commit to uncertain matters unless he was driven to a desperate situation!
*******
The green light shrouded the entire Heavenly Venerable Mountain.
Both the Eight Great Saint Emperors and the Asura Divine King ’Luo Fan’ could not help but use their Divine Sense to carefully observe the source of the green light, but following the direction of the green light, they discovered that the source was actually the ’Floating Stone Plate’. However, their Divine Sense couldn’t touch the ’Floating Stone Plate’, and they didn’t know what change had occurred with the stone plate.
"Gentlemen, shall we cease fire for now?" Asura Divine King ’Luo Fan’ turned to look at the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors looked at each other, their eyes filled with a hint of anger.
"If it weren’t for Luo Fan possessing the Blood Ruler ’Life-breaking,’ he absolutely couldn’t have surpassed us in speed, nor could he escape using speed!" Zhou Huo, Jiang Fan, and others felt indignant deep down.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors struck together, yet they couldn’t catch Luo Fan.
An united attack was powerful, but Luo Fan’s ’Time Freeze’, combined with a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure and his defensive Spiritual Treasures, was enough to save his life.
"Once this Luo Fan truly fights desperately..." Jiang Fan shuddered deep down.
It was impossible to kill Luo Fan instantly. If Luo Fan fought desperately with them, the Eight Great Saint Emperors, even if they killed Luo Fan today, three to four of them would probably die.
Three to four would die, and who among them would die was Luo Fan’s decision!
The Eight Great Saint Emperors did not want to die; they didn’t want to fight desperately with Luo Fan.
"Luo Fan, if you have something to say, say it quickly," Zhou Huo said loudly, and all the Eight Great Saint Emperors very synchronously stopped making their moves.
A slight smile appeared unintentionally at the corners of Luo Fan’s mouth.
Just as he had planned.
"Our matter can wait for now. Right now, it seems something strange has happened to that floating stone plate. Let’s go check out the floating stone plate first, then we can discuss our issues, shall we?" Luo Fan said while lightly swinging the Blood Ruler in his hands, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors cursed in their hearts.
The Asura Divine King who had comprehended ’Time Freeze’ was already terrifying enough, and then Che Hou Yuan actually gave him the Blood Ruler ’Life-breaking’ with astonishing attack power, wasn’t this adding wings to a tiger?
"Alright, then we shall do as you say and first go see what has happened to that floating stone plate. Afterward, we will resolve the matters between us, the Eight Great Saint Emperors, and you," Zhou Huo said coldly.
Luo Fan smiled faintly, then with a wave of his sleeve, his whole body transformed into flowing light and flew towards the peak of Heavenly Venerable Mountain. The Eight Great Saint Emperors exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and also flew towards the peak of Heavenly Venerable Mountain.
"Let’s go have a look as well," Yi Feng, who had been watching the whole time, said with a smile.
Zuo Qiulin, Jiang Lan, and the other more formidable Divine Kings all nodded, and the group transformed into beams of light, flying towards the peak of Heavenly Venerable Mountain. As for the sixteen Divine Kings outside the Relief Channel entrance, they dared not leave, fearing that Luo Fan would turn around and escape.

On the grassy shores of the lake at Zixuan Mansion in Mist City, Qin Yu’s group was watching everything happening in Heavenly Venerable Mountain through the Water Curtain.
"Eight Divine Kings, in just a short while, eight Divine Kings have fallen, this Asura Divine King is indeed..." Hei Yu was still clicking his tongue in amazement; they had seen the slaughter by the Asura Divine King completely and clearly.
In just a short while, eight of the Great Divine Kings had fallen.
"This is just the beginning," Qin Yu said with a light smile.
Qin Yu saw very clearly that the recent deaths of eight Great Divine Kings had barely any impact on the other Divine Kings. Especially the Eight Great Saint Emperors; they hardly reacted at all. Those weaker Divine Kings who still vainly attempted to lay their hands on the ’Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure,’ who else could they blame for their deaths?
"The floating stone plate?" Qin Yu, with his Space Power covering Heavenly Venerable Mountain, naturally heard the conversation of Luo Fan and others.
However, even Qin Yu’s space power was unable to fully interact with the Spiritual Treasure Mother Cauldron and the Floating Stone Plate. What exactly was written on this floating stone plate, Qin Yu did not know.
In the water curtain, the scene shifted, and many Divine Kings had flown to the summit of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, all gazing at the ’Floating Stone Plate’ in the center of the summit that was radiating boundless green light. Qin Yu could only simulate a floating stone plate, but as for what was written on it, he could not be sure.
"Looking at the shocked expressions of Luo Fan, Jiang Fan, and the others, the content on the floating stone plate must have changed," Qin Yu speculated to himself.
In the past, the floating stone plate was engraved with seven laws. But what about now? What content could have surprised Luo Fan and the others? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Big Brother, what is written on that stone plate?" Hei Yu asked.
Qin Yu shook his head, "I’m not sure myself."
"Dad, you can’t see it either?" Qin Si’s lovely brow furrowed.
Qin Yu touched Qin Si’s little head, smiling, "Little Si, Dad isn’t omnipotent. The creator of this Heavenly Venerable Mountain is much stronger than your dad."
Thinking of the creator of the Heavenly Venerable Mountain, Qin Yu involuntarily thought of Lin Meng. He hadn’t completely understood Lin Meng’s strength. But the little that he had sensed already made his heart tremble.
Qin Yu turned his gaze toward the water curtain.
"What exactly is written on that floating stone plate?" Qin Yu frowned and immediately began listening carefully to the conversation of Luo Fan, the Eight Great Saint Emperors, and others, hoping to figure out what was written on the floating stone plate from their dialogue.
...
Luo Fan, Zhou Huo, Jiang Fan, and the Eight Great Saint Emperors, along with Zuo Qiulin, Yi Feng, Jiang Lan, and ten others, as well as An Xun, Sun Lian, and Liu Lian, three Divine Kings from Asura Sea, all looked up at the floating stone plate.
Suddenly, several lines of golden text appeared on the stone plate—
"The Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure nurtured by this Spiritual Treasure Mother Cauldron is named ’Floating World Seal.’
The Floating World Seal is divided into three parts: Cangtian Seal, Earth Seal, and Ten Thousand People Seal. The Cangtian Seal and Earth Seal are nearly equal in power, but among the three, the Ten Thousand People Seal, which contains the most Time Law, is the strongest! Whoever obtains the three seals and merges them into the Floating World Seal will become the new Heavenly Venerable!"
A few simple lines of text, yet they instantly enlightened the minds of Luo Fan and others.
"Cangtian Seal, Earth Seal, Ten Thousand People Seal..." Luo Fan muttered quietly, his eyes twinkling. Knowing the strengths of the three seals, he could now change his plan.
At this moment, Jiang Fan felt a secret joy.
"Just as I expected, the most powerful and significant is indeed the last part, the Ten Thousand People Seal! With Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate making a move, this Ten Thousand People Seal is undoubtedly mine!"
Jiang Fan was filled with confidence.
Even an Asura God King could make the Eight Great Saint Emperors so embarrassed. If Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate took action, who could stand against him? The Ten Thousand People seal was definitely his, Jiang Fan’s.
"Haha..."
Suddenly, a hearty laughter echoed throughout Heavenly Venerable Mountain, causing the sixteen Divine Kings blocking the Relief Channel below to extend their Divine Sense, trying to see what was happening.
"Zhou Huo, Jiang Fan, I understand your demands quite clearly. But asking me to give up the Earth Seal and Ten Thousand People Seal is impossible. However, really fighting to the death with you, I, Luo Fan, am aware of my limits—I can’t escape. But at least half of you eight Saint Emperors would die, wouldn’t you agree?" Luo Fan said laughingly, looking at the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
Jiang Fan and others remained silent, with Jiang Fan just nodding slightly in agreement.
This was undeniable!
"You say that I should not vie for the Earth Seal and Ten Thousand People Seal the day they appear. That demand is too harsh. How about this... from today until a new Heavenly Venerable is born, I will not set foot in Heavenly Venerable Mountain, and you let me leave safely this time. What do you think?" Luo Fan suggested with a smile, looking at the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors were stunned.
Instantly, the Eight Great Saint Emperors understood Luo Fan’s intention.
Luo Fan, having taken the Cangtian Seal, would not set foot in Heavenly Venerable Mountain until a new Heavenly Venerable was born. Although he wouldn’t enter Heavenly Venerable Mountain, Luo Fan could still lie in wait outside the Relief Channel.
"Waiting in ambush is not so easy to do. Luo Fan isn’t Qin Yu; he can’t use ’Space Freeze.’ As soon as I step out of the Relief Channel, I’ll immediately use Instantaneous Movement—I still have a chance to escape," Jiang Fan thought to himself.
The other Saint Emperors also considered Luo Fan’s proposal.
All the while, Luo Fan simply smiled, quietly waiting for the Eight Great Saint Emperors’ response.
