Chapter 1126: Father and Son Snacks

"I believe your Dragon Race can pull it off; after all, not many people adore your Dragon Race as much as I do," Xu Fan said with a grin.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Dragon Race Golden Immortal’s eyes flickered with irritation; he clearly caught the teasing tone in Xu Fan’s voice.

Coupled with the smug looks from the surrounding Golden Immortals of Rebirth, he could guess that this human protecting his disciple must be incredibly strong—strong enough to crush ordinary Golden Immortals without breaking a sweat.

Realizing the danger he was in, the Dragon Race Golden Immortal kept his composure and continued to chat casually with Xu Fan.

"Judging by the scale of this River of Time, your disciple has a good shot at reaching Great Luo in the future," the Dragon Race Golden Immortal said, licking his lips.

"Not bad, but becoming a Great Luo of Rebirth is still a tough climb," Xu Fan replied with a smile, quietly sealing off the surrounding area.

By now, the River of Time had grown more turbulent; the essence Xu Fan had infused into Li Xingci’s body had nearly been fully digested thanks to the River’s relentless flow.

Xu Fan glanced around, searching for someone foolish enough to provide more essence for Li Xingci.

After all, opportunities like this—training in the River of Time—are rare; it would be a waste to miss out due to a lack of resources.

His gaze briefly settled on the Dragon Race Golden Immortal nearby but quickly shifted away. He needed to save that one for a bigger catch; randomly picking one of the onlookers to extract essence from would make him seem too overbearing.

"Everyone, my disciple is about to enter the critical moments of his tribulation. Please leave and do not disturb him," Xu Fan’s voice echoed lightly in the ears of every observing Golden Immortal.

At that moment, the Buddha, who had been watching, grabbed the Fox’s Virtual Image and left.

"Why are you dragging me away? There are so many of us here; being sent off by him is humiliating," the Fox’s Virtual Image protested, unwilling to accept the situation.

"If you don’t want to die, come with me," the Buddha replied, giving the Fox’s Virtual Image a calm look.

"Our essences are the most suitable for nourishing his disciple. Do you think if that man finds an excuse to turn us into essence, anyone would stand up for us?"

Hearing this, the Fox’s Virtual Image’s expression turned anxious.

Just then, a loud explosion sounded behind them.

Turning back, they saw a section of the Inner Realm of Reincarnation reduced to nothingness.

The onlooking Golden Immortals scrambled to flee the area in panic.

With the space sealed by Xu Fan, they had no choice but to leave in such a chaotic manner.

"Carrying so much karma, it’s best not to wander around looking for trouble; you might just end up as scraps at the hands of some righteous figure."

As Xu Fan spoke, he gathered the essence from the two Golden Immortals who had been reduced to scraps.

He adjusted the essence slightly to make it more suitable for Li Xingci, then channeled it into Li Xingci’s body along the path of the River of Time.

At that moment, Xu Fan suddenly turned to the Dragon Race Golden Immortal.

"Don’t worry; I was targeting them, not you," Xu Fan said with a gentle smile.

"Can I leave? I suddenly feel your disciple isn’t quite the right fit for me," the Dragon Race Golden Immortal said, trying to maintain his composure.

"How can that be? Once something’s been said, we have to see it through."

Just then, the woman in white appeared not far from Xu Fan, standing on a 12-petal purple lotus flower, making Xu Fan almost mistake her for someone else at first glance.

"I’ve driven away the Phantom Demon Sage; I’ll stay here and wait until your disciple completes his Golden Immortal Tribulation," the woman in white said coolly.

"You and my disciple, what kind of connection do you have that makes you protect him like this?" Xu Fan asked curiously, as he couldn’t figure out the relationship between his good disciple and the woman in front of him.

"Don’t ask; I’m just here to do what I must," the woman replied before disappearing into the Inner Realm of Reincarnation.

Xu Fan was left feeling quite puzzled.

At that moment, a voice filled with dragon’s might thundered through the area.

"Who dares to harm my son!!" A massive dragon face appeared above Xu Fan, glaring down at him with fury.

Hearing this, Xu Fan’s eyes lit up; the big fish had finally taken the bait.

Next to him, the Dragon Race Golden Immortal of Rebirth became instantly arrogant, transforming into his true form beside his father’s face.

"You and your disciple will become my snacks, and then you’ll merge with me."

"Don’t worry; though I’ve eaten many snacks, I’ll remember you two for thousands of years. Humans like you are rare," the Dragon Race Golden Immortal said.

"This is the Dragon Race’s Dark Dream Great Luo, extremely powerful. I can only help you stall for a while."

"Quickly, get your disciple out of the River of Time; leave this place!"

As the Dragon Race Great Luo appeared, Xu Fan received a message from the woman in white, sounding somewhat urgent.

"Just watch the show from the side," Xu Fan said calmly.

Ignoring the woman’s response, he simply raised his hand.

Behind the two Dragon Race true forms, a thousand-hand illusion appeared, vast like a star sea, adorned with countless pieces of light armor.

The two Dragon Race true forms were immediately seized by two giant hands.

Soon, several other giant hands restrained them, crushing them completely.

A purple spirit light, about the size of a basketball, slowly fell into Xu Fan’s hand.

This was the reincarnation essence of the Dragon Race father and son.

"Snacks~" Xu Fan smiled gently and infused a trace of this reincarnation essence into his good disciple’s body.

"The Dragon Race is very powerful in the Cycle of Rebirth; after your disciple overcomes his tribulation, he must leave quickly, or he might fall here," the woman in white said, no longer shocked and quickly explaining the dangers.

"Once my disciple finishes his tribulation, he will leave; don’t worry," Xu Fan said as he tossed the ball of reincarnation energy to the woman in white.

"Take this as repayment; don’t refuse. Protecting my disciple is what you deserve."

The woman didn’t speak. After accepting the energy source, she quietly left.

After these events, the area became completely quiet.

"This time, Xingci should have the potential to advance to Great Luo after overcoming the Golden Immortal Tribulation," Xu Fan pondered, stroking his chin.

The current of the River of Time grew fiercer, but Li Xingci, strengthened by the robust essence, handled it with ease.

He could even glance over to check on Xu Fan from time to time.

As the River of Time faded, Li Xingci, now a Golden Immortal, arrived beside Xu Fan.

"Thank you, Master, for protecting your disciple," Li Xingci said while kneeling.
