Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 603: Thousand Years of War

Lin Fan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. This feeling was like being held tightly by an invisible big hand, making him suffocated. He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see clearly the true appearance of the figure in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, the figure was always shrouded in a hazy mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Mr. Long, what should we do?" Lin Xuefei's voice was obviously trembling, and her hands tightly grasped Lin Fan's sleeves, as if she could find a sense of security in this way.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and tried to calm down the fear in his heart. He knew that now the two of them seemed to be trapped in a huge whirlpool, and they could be shattered into pieces if they were not careful. However, he also knew that now they had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

“Be careful, try not to disturb him.” Lin Fan whispered, while walking forward gently.

 They were careful every step they took, for fear of triggering some trap if they were not careful. However, when they walked up to the figure, nothing happened. The figure was still sitting there quietly, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Lin Fan bravely stretched out his hand to check the man's breath, but was surprised to find that the man was still breathing! Although the breathing was so weak that it was almost negligible, it was definitely there. This made Lin Fan feel scared. If they had alerted this person just now, the consequences would be disastrous.

"He's not dead yet..." Lin Fan whispered, feeling relieved at the same time. At least it seems that they are not in despair yet.

Lin Xuefei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but her heart was still full of doubts: "Then why is he here? Who is he? Why is he sitting here all the time?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said that he didn't know the answer either. He looked at the crow above the man's head and suddenly had a guess in his mind: "Perhaps, this crow is where his soul is. He may be a powerful practitioner. For some reason, his body was destroyed, but his soul was attached to it. On this crow."

Lin Xuefei was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Is this... is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible in the world of spiritual practice." Lin Fan sighed, "It's just that we don't know yet whether he is an enemy or a friend. If he is an enemy..."

Lin Fan didn't finish what he said, but Lin Xuefei already understood what he meant. If this practitioner was an enemy, their current situation would be even more dangerous.

At this moment, the crow suddenly opened its eyes and stared directly at Lin Fan and Lin Xuefei with two cold gazes. Lin Fan's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that he could not move at all. The crow's gaze seemed to have magic power, locking them firmly in place.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Crow spoke, his voice hoarse and cold.

Lin Fan groaned secretly in his heart. He knew that the two of them were completely in trouble this time. But now that the matter has come to this, he can only answer bravely: "We are just practitioners who accidentally wandered into this place, and we have no malicious intentions. If seniors need any help, we will do our best."

Crow was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said slowly: "I don't need your help. You just need to tell me what's going on in the outside world now?" Lin Fan's heart moved when he heard this. It seems that this senior doesn't know what's going on outside. The world has changed dramatically. He was secretly glad that the two of them had not acted rashly, otherwise they would have died without a burial place by now.

“Senior, the world outside has changed a lot now.” Lin Fan said respectfully, “Since the war a thousand years ago, the world of cultivation has gradually declined. Many powerful practitioners and inheritance have disappeared.”

"Thousand-year war..." Crow repeated these words in a low voice with a hint of confusion and pain, "I didn't expect that I have been sitting here for a thousand years..."

Lin Fan and Lin Xuefei were shocked when they heard this. They originally thought that this senior had only been sitting here for a few hundred years at most, but they didn't expect that he had been sitting here for a whole thousand years!

"What happened to you, senior?" Lin Fan couldn't help but ask, "Why have you been sitting here for a thousand years?"

Crow was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "Back then, in pursuit of a higher realm, I came to this burial ground of gods alone to find a chance to break through. However, I never expected that such a terrible secret was hidden here... "

 At this point, the crow suddenly stopped, seeming to be recalling the past. Lin Fan and Lin Xuefei didn't urge him and just waited quietly for his next step.

After a while, the crow continued: "I met a powerful enemy here back then. He also came here to pursue a higher realm. The two of us fought for three days and three nights. In the end, although I defeated him, I still couldn't. He was seriously injured and died soon.”

"In order to save my own life, I used a secret method to fuse my soul with this crow to extend my life. However, I didn't expect that this sitting would last for a thousand years..."

Hearing this, Lin Fan and Lin Xuefei finally understood why this senior had been sitting here for a thousand years. It turned out that he was fused with this crow to save his own life.

"Senior, what are you going to do now?" Lin Fan asked, "You have been sitting here for a thousand years. The world outside has changed dramatically. Do you still plan to stay here?"

Crow was silent for a while and then slowly shook his head: "But the outside world has changed a lot. I need to go out and see. And I also feel that my end is approaching. If I don't go out, I will never have a chance." ”

 At this point, the crow suddenly looked up at Lin Fan and Lin Xuefei: "Are you willing to take me out?"
