The voice paused before sounding once again, "But where is it coming from?"

The crown suddenly floated up in the air and began turning around, as if it was looking across the room.

​​

When the experts that had been fighting saw this, they immediately stopped and gathered together with their own group as they stared at the crown, waiting for something to happen.

But during this entire time, the crown just floated there without doing a single thing.

Finally a few of the subordinates couldn't take it as two King Beasts and two upper realm experts came forward.

The two King Beasts didn't try to talk to the crown at all even though they knew that it had intelligence, they just charged forward to grab at the crown.

After all, these were beasts and they had their instinct. The most primal instinct that they had was to gain as much power as they could to rule over others.

But before either of them could even touch the crown, there was a pressure that suddenly fell over them. The pressure completely slammed them into the ground, creating large craters.

One thing to note was that during all that fighting, there wasn't a single scratch on the floor or the walls. They hadn't been able to make a single dent in it when the energy scattered from their fighting earlier.

Of course, it wasn't the stronger experts that were fighting, it was only a few of the experts with lower cultivation fighting, but they were still all in the Legendary Realm. They were considered at the peak of this lower realm, but there was something in this lower realm that could block all their attacks.

Another funny thing was that everyone here was in the Legendary Realm, even including Lin Fan now.

The two King Beasts immediately spat out blood before fainting on the spot. Just from the pressure that the crown had put out, it had heavily injured these two King Beasts.

The two human experts were much more cautious as one of them came forward and said while cupping his hands, "Great expert, may we ask who you are?"

But that question went completely unanswered as the crown floated right past those two human experts as if it was still searching for something.

It didn't take long before the experts from both sides became even more impatient.

They could tell from this aura that this crown was a supreme treasure, but there it floated in front of them, just taunting them. It was like they weren't able to get it at all.

It naturally ate on the patience of the experts and soon even those that were stronger couldn't help coming forward.

It was the Beast King and the Princess who both came forward, but even they were ignored by this crown.

The Beast King wouldn't give up as he said, "Your excellency, I can give you what you want as long as you come with me. You can see what kind of talent I have, I'm sure you know what will happen if you come with me."

This was just common sense.

For this kind of treasure to appear here, it was clear that it was either a relic that had belonged to a fallen expert or it was a trial that was left by an expert to find a successor. In both cases, his words fit the situation perfectly.

He naturally believed in his own talent because he had been the youngest Beast King of the Beast Race, one that had stood above all others. If even he couldn't match the high standards of this expert, then there was no one else who could.

The crown didn't completely ignore him once again, rather it turned to him with the gem that was on the front of the crown and looked at him for a bit.

Seeing this, the Beast King's hopes were brought up. He even tried to lift his head to show off his face, but he forgot that he currently didn't have a human form. All he was was a blob of dark energy that had gathered together to take a human form.

When his hopes were high, he was suddenly thrown from heaven to hell when he heard, "Humph, trash like you? Silence!"

Then before he could even react, he was also slammed into the ground like the King Beasts from before.

This was something that instantly made everyone cautious.

Even if this fragment of the Beast King's soul wasn't as strong as it was when it was at its peak, it had gathered quite a few of its fragments together, so it was considered quite strong. If one had to measure it, it was already as strong as the leaders of the ruling factions of upper realms, so no one dared to underestimate it.

Perhaps the only one that could face it right now was the reincarnated Princess, but the Princess had learned from his mistake and moved aside. She knew that in front of this peerless expert, there was no pride that she could show.

The crown continued wandering around a bit longer before saying, "What's the point in hiding?"

As soon as it said that, it turned in Lin Fan's direction and released a wave of green energy.

That green energy swept over Lin Fan's group and completely pushed away the dark laws that Momonga had wrapped around them, making them visible to everyone.

When everyone saw this, they all had different reactions.

The beasts were shocked since someone who they had never seen before had suddenly appeared, but it was completely different for the humans.

For those that knew who Lin Fan was, they could now feel that aura that was coming from them and they were filled with regret.

Lin Fan had just been in the Platinum Realm, but now he was already at the same level of cultivation as them in just a few minutes. Just what had happened to him?

Then there was the fact that he had been able to hide from their senses. If he had wanted, couldn't he have killed them all?

Finally there was Mu Bo Hai who felt a very different emotion when he saw the two who were with Lin Fan. When he had been in Snow Wind City, he had felt the wrath of the girl who was with Lin Fan and he knew that she was someone that was far beyond him. Perhaps even the Princess wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

As for the upper realm experts, they were just shocked that someone had been able to hide from them like this. It had to be known that they were much stronger than the peak of the Blue Star Planet, several of them were in the Embryo Soul Realm and there were those in the Child Soul Realm.

Yet none of them had even noticed Lin Fan's group…

Finally, there was the Princess who stared at Lin Fan in absolute shock.

She knew how powerful the illusion laws that she had used were and she knew how powerful her spiritual senses were. Even if she had been weakened, her spiritual sense was tied to her soul, so it shouldn't have been that much weaker than what she had when she was at her peak.

Still, this boy had been able to break through these illusion laws and had been able to hide from her spiritual senses along with those two others. Those two others, they didn't seem weaker compared to her.

In truth, she couldn't even see through these two, so they were probably stronger than her.

What was someone like this doing on a lower realm?

The Princess couldn't help stuttering as she asked, "Who, just who are you?"

But before Lin Fan could even say anything, the voice came from the crown to say, "Do you think you're qualified to ask that? Now move to the side little girl."

Before the Princess could even react, there was the same pressure that had fallen on the Beast King that had fallen on her. She was slammed into the ground and made her own little crater, but it really felt awkward seeing a little girl like her being slammed into the ground. Based on her appearance, she seemed like she was no older than five years old, but one definitely couldn't judge her just based on her appearance.

But the crown didn't care at all as it floated over to float right in front of Lin Fan.

It seemed like it was looking over Lin Fan the way the gem on the crown moved before it seemed like it was giving a nod as it said, "Not bad, you already reached the Soul Realm. We really thought that it would take a bit longer, but it seems like you're quite good."

That was strange because the other voice had called him slow, but now this voice was calling him fast.

Were they two different people?

But they had the exact same voice.

There was a flash of green light that came from the crown before it suddenly spread underneath the crown, taking the form of a human. It took the form of the same girl that Lin Fan had met in the realm in the Mirror of Regret, the same girl who he had just decided to look for.

That girl leaned forward to look at Lin Fan's face before saying, "Well, it seems like you have something you want to ask, so how about you ask it? This is your special reward for reaching the Soul Realm."
