Chapter 1916 - 1953: Divine Realm, God Domain

At this moment, Xia Ling was startled by Ding Fan’s words, her eyes wide with surprise, filled with astonishment. She paused briefly, then spoke softly to Ding Fan:

"Are you going to the Divine Realm for me?"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s voice, Ding Fan shook his head helplessly, a profound look flashing in his eyes. He spoke gently to Xia Ling:

"No... My journey to the Divine Realm is something I must do. Besides, with my current power, I can make a name for myself in the Divine Realm."

Just as Ding Fan finished speaking, Long Ren, who was beside him, also widened his eyes in shock, glaring at Ding Fan with a burning gaze, then spoke softly:

"Brother, you’re going to the Divine Realm?"

At this moment, Long Ren felt a wave of shock in his heart. To be honest, he never expected that the first thing Ding Fan would plan after destroying the Wild Wolf Gang was to develop in the Divine Realm.

As Ding Fan heard Long Ren’s voice, a serious expression also flashed in his eyes. He paused briefly, then spoke slowly to Long Ren:

"That’s right, in the coming days, I need to make some preparations to go to the Divine Realm. This decision comes after careful consideration, so please, stop trying to dissuade me..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Long Ren’s eyes flickered slightly, his lips trembling slightly, before he spoke softly to Ding Fan:

"Brother, I’m not trying to dissuade you. I only ask one thing: Can you take me with you to the Divine Realm this time?"

At this moment, Long Ren’s eyes were filled with eager light. Long Ren yearned for power too, especially upon learning about the more mystical and profound Divine Realm than the Cultivation World. Long Ren’s heart was also restless.

As Ding Fan heard Long Ren’s words, his brows furrowed slightly, eyes full of contemplation. After a moment of pondering, Ding Fan spoke slowly to Long Ren:

"No, the Divine Realm journey is extremely dangerous, and even I can’t guarantee safety. Moreover, you still have the disciples of the thirty-six caves behind you. You can’t abandon them lightly..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Long Ren’s eyes, which flickered slightly. He then nodded slightly to Ding Fan.

Seeing the look of disappointment on Long Ren’s face, a twinge of pain flashed in Ding Fan’s heart. His lips twitched slightly, then he spoke slowly to Long Ren:

"Once I establish myself in the Divine Realm, I will definitely take you there. At that time, not just you, but also your brothers from the thirty-six caves, we’ll take them over. I want to establish our own force in the Divine Realm!"

As he spoke, a blazing fire flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, filled with excitement. When Long Ren heard Ding Fan’s words, his eyes lit up instantly, his lips curling slightly, and he excitedly asked Ding Fan:

"Brother, do you really mean it?"

Upon hearing Long Ren’s words, Ding Fan’s lips also curled slightly as he spoke slowly to Long Ren:

"That’s right, we must have our own force in the Divine Realm. This is something we must accomplish."

Listening to Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling couldn’t help but widen her eyes, her mouth slightly agape, staring at Ding Fan with a look of shock.

"Brother Ding, you want to establish your own force in the Divine Realm? That’s unbelievable, those old monsters in the Divine Realm won’t allow it..."

Hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes slowly narrowed, a cold aura rising from his body. He paused slightly before speaking softly:

"What? Are forces in the Divine Realm not allowed to be established privately?"

Listening to Ding Fan’s question, hesitation flashed in Xia Ling’s eyes. She pondered a bit before speaking slowly to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, you might not know this, but any force established privately in the Divine Realm must gain acknowledgment from the major forces. Otherwise, even if you forcefully establish a force, you’ll face a joint attack from the major forces!"

Hearing these words, Ding Fan’s pupils contracted sharply, a chilling aura erupting from his body. His gaze turned slightly fierce as he angrily spoke to Xia Ling:

"Despicable, I never expected the Divine Realm to be filled with such shameless people!"

Listening to Ding Fan’s words, hesitation flickered in Xia Ling’s eyes. She pondered for a moment before speaking slowly to Ding Fan:

"That’s right, the rules in the Divine Realm are cruel like this. Besides those divine warriors who join the major forces, a loose cultivator divine warrior like you would be oppressed and humiliated by other divine warriors. In other words, to survive in the Divine Realm, you must join a sect or faction..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fan’s face took on a contemplative look. His lips twitched slightly before speaking slowly to Xia Ling:

"Xia Ling, how influential is your Heavenly Sound Sect in the Divine Realm?"

At this moment, Xia Ling heard Ding Fan’s question, and a grim expression involuntarily crossed her face. Her lips trembled slightly, and she said to Ding Fan in a firm voice:

"Brother Ding, the Heavenly Sound Sect has tremendous strength in the Divine Realm. Although it hasn’t reached the level of the top-tier forces, it’s enough to be at the Second-Class Force Peak."

At this moment, Ding Fan heard Xia Ling’s words and a puzzled look involuntarily flashed in his eyes. His gaze flickered slightly, and he spoke to Xia Ling in a contemplative tone:

"What level has this Second-Class Force Peak reached?"

At this moment, Xia Ling looked into Ding Fan’s puzzled eyes, and a sudden realization swept across her face. She paused slightly before explaining to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, here’s the situation. In the Divine Realm, anyone capable of establishing a force is a person of great ability. Forces are divided into first, second, and third classes—the lowest is third class, and the highest is first class, which is the strongest in the Divine Realm. The Heavenly Sound Sect is at the Second-Class Peak, and you can imagine just how formidable the strength of the Heavenly Sound Sect is..."

At this moment, Ding Fan, having heard Xia Ling’s explanation, furrowed his brows deeply and a spark shone in his eyes as he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"Given the formidable strength of the Heavenly Sound Sect, why did they come to this Cultivation World to develop their power?"

At this moment, Xia Ling heard Ding Fan’s question, and her brows also furrowed slightly as she pondered briefly before slowly saying to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, I think the Heavenly Sound Sect is just one step away from becoming a first-class force in the Divine Realm. And in the Divine Realm, only first-class forces possess a Cultivation World in their hands. I believe the Heavenly Sound Sect wants to seize this opportunity to leap forward and successfully become a first-class force in the Divine Realm..."

At this moment, Ding Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, and cold light emanated from his eyes as he pondered for a moment before speaking softly:

"Isn’t there a force in the Divine Realm that exists solely based on its own powerful strength?"

At this moment, Xia Ling heard Ding Fan’s words, and a thoughtful expression crossed her eyes, which suddenly gleamed with brilliance. She then spoke to Ding Fan in a contemplative tone:

"Brother Ding, there is indeed such a force in the Divine Realm, called the God Domain. They rose without the consent of any other forces and established their force."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fan’s eyes brightened instantly, and he spoke to Xia Ling with a curious tone:

"God Domain? What a fitting name, but didn’t this force face attacks from other forces during its rise?"

At this moment, Ding Fan’s eyes were filled with puzzlement. From Xia Ling’s introduction earlier, he learned that establishing a force without the consent of other powers would lead to sieges from them.

And at this moment, Xia Ling heard Ding Fan’s question, and a grave expression emerged in her eyes, along with a hint of fear. After contemplating briefly, she slowly said to Ding Fan:

"No, the God Domain did indeed face sieges from other forces at that time. But the God Domain had such a small reputation, those powerful forces didn’t pay attention to it. It was just some third-class forces that saw potential benefits from God Domain and banded together to launch a ferocious attack..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed with solemnity, and after pondering for a moment, he asked Xia Ling slowly:

"And the result? Did the God Domain withstand those forces’ siege?"

At this moment, Xia Ling heard Ding Fan’s inquiry, and a wry smile slowly crossed her lips. After a brief pause, she slowly said to Ding Fan:

"Quite the opposite, the Domain Lord of the God Domain was exceptionally formidable. Just he alone repelled all the third-class forces that came to assault the God Domain..."

At this moment, Ding Fan was stunned and his mouth dropped open in shock, his gaze slightly lifted, and he spoke to Xia Ling in disbelief:

"Just him alone? What kind of power does it take to single-handedly confront thousands of troops?"

At this moment, hearing Ding Fan’s words, a grave expression crossed Xia Ling’s face. After a slight pause, she slowly said to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, not only did the Domain Lord of the God Domain repel all the third-class forces besieging it, but, crucially, he also completely defeated those forces..."

At this moment, Ding Fan was stunned, his mouth agape with shock, his body slightly trembling as he spoke to Xia Ling in horror:

"Single-handedly, he crushed the siege of numerous third-class forces!?"

Watching Ding Fan’s surprised expression, Xia Ling’s face involuntarily showed a hint of bitterness. She pondered briefly and then slowly nodded.

"The strength of the God Domain’s Domain Lord is truly overwhelming..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan, Xia Ling’s expression turned serious, and after contemplating briefly, she slowly said to Ding Fan:

"Indeed, the Domain Lord of the God Domain is a true hegemon, suppressing all mighty heroes single-handedly."
