The Strongest System - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Understanding The Firmament

p>To think that another world existed beneath the lava river, this was absolutely incredible! Who was the powerful being who could have created this place?

‘Eh…?’

Just then, Lin Fan’s gaze stopped at something on the ground. The ground was filled with rocks, giving off a blood-red glow, occasionally letting off a peculiar aura.

“Treasure…! This must be a treasure!” Lin Fan leaped with joy. Since the time he was above the lava river itself, he had caught sight of this occasional red glow. To think that he would actually encounter a treasure.

‘Ding…congratulations on discovering Nirvana Rocks.’

‘Nirvana Rock: A crystallized product of the phoenix’s fourth Nirvana cycle. Possesses boundless lifeforce.’

Even though Lin Fan did not know what to make of this, he could tell from the description of it that it was a pretty high-quality item.

Boundless lifeforce.

Anything to do with lifeforce was definitely far from trash.

Lin Fan did not say anything and began collecting these rocks. They existed in different sizes; the smallest one was only the size of his fingernails, while the larger ones were around the size of his fist.

Even though Lin Fan did not know what they were exactly used for, he had an idea. There could only be two purposes for them, either for cultivating pills or weapons.

As Lin Fan was collecting these rocks gleefully, he came to a stop upon discovering something else. On a ball of flame floated a single egg. It was the size of a basketball and pure white.

‘Oh ho! This has gotta be big…!’

The surprises came one after another, catching Lin Fan off his feet. After collecting all the rocks into his storage sack, Lin Fan hurried ahead and circled around the egg, observing it carefully.

On this pure white egg, red glow in a vein like imprint would appear from time to time.

‘Could this be a phoenix’s egg?’ Lin Fan mumbled to himself.

Lin Fan suddenly recalled an old saying: ‘Where a phoenix exists, a precious treasure exists as well.’

If this was indeed a phoenix’s egg, then he was definitely going to reap it big this time round!

The descendant of any Ancient Beast was nothing to be scoffed at. But the descendant of a matured and long existing Ancient Beast? That was an existent which could wipe away the very existence of sects!

Looking at that phoenix from before, perhaps no one in Dongling Continent could even be a match for it.

Lin Fan stretched out his hands to touch this phoenix’s egg. From within, he could feel the presence of a strong lifeforce rumbling around.

‘Ding…congratulations on discovering Ancient Beast Phoenix’s egg.’

‘Phoenix Egg: The product of the Ancient Beast Phoenix. Will hatch after a month.’

The moment Lin Fan touched it, he let out a wide smile. It was a phoenix’s egg like he had guessed. Not only that, it was about to hatch in a month?

Lin Fan’s heart could not stop rumbling. Once the phoenix hatched, wouldn’t Yours Truly have a bloody strong sidekick for free?

It was a Greater Celestial beast! And not just any beast, an Ancient Beast! If he could make use of it to give himself a good walloping, wouldn’t he surpass a greater celestial in no time?

Thinking about it, Lin Fan could not help but wipe his saliva from his mouth. Sitting down, he glared at the egg.

From now on, he was heading nowhere. He was going to sit his ass right here and watch until it hatched. This was an opportunity of a lifetime! Lin Fan did not have the balls to let the egg just sit here while he went around seeking out other treasures. If someone came around to steal the egg after he left, wouldn’t he cry himself to death?

And just like that, Lin Fan sat down cross-legged and watched it quietly.

Minute by minute, the days passed by. After 3 days, the boredom was starting to get to Lin Fan. From Lei Yifeng’s storage sack, he retrieved some provisions to fill his tummy.

If he were to stay like this for an entire month, wouldn’t he go nuts? He needed to find something to occupy his time with.

Lin Fan took out the Eternal Axe. Ever since he had obtained this axe, he hadn’t examined it properly. Since he was so bored now, he might as well take a good look at it.

Glowing gently from time to time, the Eternal Axe gave off a mild Ancient aura.

Lin Fan rubbed his eyes. Had he just seen something?

When the Eternal Axe glowed gently just now, he seemed to have caught sight of an image! But when Lin Fan picked it up and felt it with his hands, it was thoroughly smooth, without any dents or scratches. Was he mistaken?

Puzzled, Lin Fan held up the axe and stared at it with focus. Just then, the axe glowed again.

This time round, Lin Fan had seen it clearly.

The moment it glowed, an image did appear on the axe. And it lasted for a second at max.

Staying underneath this lava river, Lin Fan no longer had any concept of time from the outside world.

Other than waiting for the phoenix egg to hatch, all of Lin Fan’s attention was on the Eternal Axe.

One fine day, Lin Fan finally stood up.

The only thing on his mind was the image imprinted on the Eternal Axe.

The image showed a gigantic man bare naked, holding an axe in one of his arms. Opening his eyes, he cleaved gently towards the thin air in front of him. But that gentle motion ripped apart the void and tore out a torrent within it.

Lin Fan closed his eyes, gently feeling the aura from the Eternal Axe. It was an aura so ancient, so distant.

Lin Fan’s forearms trembled as the Eternal Axe let out a bright glow.

BAM!

Lin Fan felt like the gigantic man within the image, possessing the power of the Heaven and Earth, ripping through the thin air.

BOOM!

In a split second, a black void appeared before Lin Fan as though spacetime was ripped apart. It was like a wormhole with countless currents flowing towards it, rumbling with energy within it.

WHOOOOSH!

Lin Fan opened his eyes, startled and shocked, evidently tired as well. That one single strike had used up half of his True Energy!

What frightening strength!

The True Energy that Lin Fan possessed could be comparable to a gigantic ocean. Even though he was only at the pericelestial level, the capacity of True Energy could be said to be even higher than masters of a lesser celestial cultivation base.

And just this one strike alone had expended half of it. Incredible!

‘Ding…congratulations on comprehending ‘Heaven Splitting Three Axe’s first stance: The Firmament.’

‘Firmament: Level 1’

…

Lin Fan breathed heavily, feeling somewhat helpless at this development. To think that just level 1 was enough to expend half of his True Energy. If he were to continue leveling it up, wouldn’t it suck him dry!

After Lin Fan recovered his True Energy, he gave it another shot and immersed himself within the power of the axe once more.

He was starting to connect with the ancient aura flowing within the Eternal Axe.

‘Firmament.’

Lin Fan’s concentration was at his peak. In an instant, he swung down the axe, concentrating all his energy on it. Once again, a rip appeared in spacetime.

‘Strong…!’

Compared to Nirvana Finger, this swing of the axe was way stronger, and the destructive power was way higher.

Lin Fan held up the axe and thought things through once more. The reason why there was only one stance of the Heaven Splitting Three Axes for now was probably because the Eternal Axe was damaged. Perhaps, he could only discover the next two stances after he had repaired the Eternal Axe.

But Lin Fan was not hurried about it. From the looks of it, just this one stance alone was fearsome and domineering enough.

If he didn’t have this chance to sit down and contemplate through things at a place like this, he might not have discovered that the Eternal Axe was carrying such a secret behind it.

Seemed like Yours Truly was indeed a blessed and lucky man. Only someone like him could have discovered a nuance like this.

Crack.

Just then, a crisp sound crackled. Lin Fan leaped with joy and turned around.

‘It’s coming out…!’

Chapter 219: Fighting Cock Of A Phoenix

p>A brand-new life was hatching before Lin Fan’s very eyes. On that pure, white egg, intricate cracks appeared on after another. Suddenly, a red glow appeared abruptly.

Lin Fan widened his eyes while looking at the egg. His heart was like a raging storm. The Ancient Beast from the legends was about to be born.

A tweet rang out from within the egg, so sharp, crisp and clear.

Suddenly, a red beam shot out from the top of the egg. From there, a crack appeared and two wings spread out.

After those majestic wings came out, it stretched out its three-fingered claws. It raised its head gloriously, an exemplary representation of the majestic beast it was which had hatched from this egg.

The featherless phoenix, which was the size of an adult rooster, cried a few times into the skies and retracted its wings. It then hopped down onto the platform, pecking at the eggshell with its sharp beak.

Up and down, up and down, it pecked at a rapid speed, like a pile driver. Soon, the very egg which it had hatched from disappeared entirely.

Lin Fan stood there, his heart thumping furiously.

What the fck? This was all that Yours Truly had been camping a month for?

Thinking back at that mysterious and tough phoenix, he took yet another look at this unassuming little chick. This wasn’t the image he had imagined in his mind. These two shouldn’t be the same living being right?

The chicken stood perched on the platform and stared at Lin Fan eye to eye.

Lin Fan was strongly resisting the urge to break down. This was not what he had expected!

Meanwhile, the chicken tilted its head and looked at Lin Fan with its large eyes, revealing an extremely puzzled look. Why did this living thing before it look so different from itself?

‘You…!’ Lin Fan stretched out his finger. He had to interrogate this chicken. Just what the hell was this?

But suddenly, the eyes of the chicken flipped white. Falling headfirst, it landed on the ground, both feet raised high in the air. Stretching out its little pink tongue, it didn’t move anymore after that. It seemed to have died.

Lin Fan’s face turned pale as a sheet. He reached out immediately, shaking the chicken furiously. ‘WHAT THE HELL?’

Lin Fan could feel the lifeforce of this newly born phoenix rapidly diminishing. Bloody hell, wasn’t a phoenix supposed to be a beast with boundless lifeforce? Even a 10,000-year-old tortoise wouldn’t be able to compete with its lifespan! Why the hell was it dying the moment it was born?!?

“Oi! Oi! CHICKEN! Don’t fck with me! Yours Truly has camped here for an entire month for you, and the moment you’re out, you’re going back?!? Aren’t you way too heartless!” Lin Fan was starting to panic. Just what was happening here? Was there something wrong with the hatching process?

Or could it be that this phoenix was blatantly playing around thus leading to this pregnancy? Had the genes been mixed with some other random breed that caused the birth of this deformed freak creature?

The more the lifeforce of the chicken died out, the more Lin Fan flustered.

If this kept on, it was surely dead!

Lifeforce?

Lin Fan recalled the Nirvana Rocks. Weren’t those filled with lifeforce?

Without hesitation, Lin Fan took out all the Nirvana Rocks he had collected. The moment these rocks came near the phoenix, they let out a red glow before transforming into a red glow like a river, flowing into the phoenix’s body.

‘It’s working…!’

Lin Fan could feel that the lifeforce was no longer diminishing. In fact, it was slowly increasing. He then continued to place the rocks one by one beside the phoenix.

Looking at the rocks flowing into the phoenix like a river, Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief. At least he had managed to resuscitate this phoenix. No matter what, even if it were a mixed deformed freak, it was still a descendant of an Ancient Beast.

Lin Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed the body of the phoenix. Even though it was featherless, at least if it were to grow up, it would still be a good sidekick for sure.

But the moment Lin Fan touched the chicken, this thing which was lifeless only moments before rose up immediately and pecked his palm.

F*CK!

Looking at the deep sunken hole on his palms, Lin Fan was filled with disbelief. His physical body state was that of a lesser celestial! To think that a single peck from this chicken would be this strong!

While Lin Fan was still in a state of shock, the chicken rose up with a strutted chest. Even though it was featherless, it was still rather imposing as it stretched out its wings. Turning around, it suddenly broke into a run into the distance. That propped up backside of it was shaking left and right furiously as it made its escape. It was so energetic now like a baby who had just breastfed some milk.

Lin Fan broke out of his stupor and roared out angrily.

“Stop right there…!” Swift like lightning, he chased after the chicken.

The chicken, which was furiously escaping, turned around and saw this weird monster chasing after it relentlessly. Clucking frantically, it sped up even more.

‘Lesser Celestial Lower Level.’

The moment Lin Fan looked at it, he was extremely astonished. To think that a freshly born chick would already have a lesser celestial cultivation base! Shocking!

An Ancient Beast was an Ancient Beast indeed. It couldn’t be compared to mere beasts. Normal beasts’ offspring would usually only have a precelestial cultivation base.

Thinking back to that one peck, if his body had not been this strong, he might have lost this hand entirely!

The thought only served to enrage Lin Fan even more.

‘After camping for you for an entire month and saving your life with the Nirvana Rocks, you would turn against Yours Truly immediately? Darn it.’

‘Disobedient, aren’t you? Fine then, Yours Truly will train you until you’re obedient.’

Even though this chicken had just been hatched, Lin Fan was alright with it. After all, one had to teach a kid from a tender age. Otherwise, they would grow up to be a wreck.

As the chicken continued on its hasty escape, it turned back from time to time to see if the weird monster was still chasing after it. But just then, the chicken caught sight of a whip chasing it furiously, as though it had eyes grown on it. It started crying out fearfully.

Like an agile snake, the whip coiled itself around the chicken’s claws. With a strong tug, the chicken fell onto the ground and was pulled back by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at the fearful chicken and let out an evil smile.

From within his backpack, Lin Fan took out a barbeque grill and placed some mysterious ingredients beside it.

The chicken, which was now tied to a nearby rock, looked at Lin Fan suspiciously, wondering what this mysterious creature was going to do to it.

Lin Fan threw a side glare over at the chicken. The evil look in his eyes sent it into a panic frenzy.

From his storage, he took out a domestic fowl. In front of the chicken, he cleaned the feathers off the fowl with a sharp knife easily, and eventually placed the fowl on the grill.

He had prepared this fowl all the way from Nameless Peak. Naturally, he couldn’t let himself suffer from low quality food on this expedition.

By the looks of it, the chicken did not seem to be a stupid creature as well. Lin Fan was sure that it could definitely understand his meaning.

And he was right, because the chicken started crying out frantically. It had finally understood what this mysterious creature was up to.

Walking towards the chicken, Lin Fan’s smile was giving the chicken goosebumps. He then released the rope around it. The chicken, who had regained its freedom, did not dare to move. It just stood there stilly.

Looking at the scared look on the chicken, Lin Fan smiled, “You’ll be called Chicky from now on, get it?”

Chicky didn’t hesitate and just nodded its head frantically.

Horrifying. This was way too horrifying.

“And from now on, you’ll only cry out like this.”

Lin Fan demonstrated for it: ‘Cuckoo! Cuckoo!’

Chicky nodded its head furiously once more, before raising its head and crying out, ‘Car..koo!’

Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. Even though it sounded a little off, he was sure that with time, it would sound the same.

What was a phoenix in the face of all this?

Lin Fan was determined to create a fighting cock out of a phoenix.

But then again, hehe, he would have to train it up first of course. Lin Fan did not believe that this chicken would submit to him so easily.

Given its high intellect, he was sure that this chicken would understand the concept of shame as well.

Looking at the evil look on the mysterious creature before it, Chicky trembled with its featherless body.

Just then, a tragic cry called out.

‘CAR…KOO…KOO!!!’

Chapter 220: Sheep In Wolf’s Clothing

p>After Lin Fan’s love filled whipping session, he had successfully tamed the chicken. From now on, he was going to hold an irreplaceable position in Chicky’s heart.

Even though Chicky looked kinda worse for wear right now, Lin Fan believed that it would not let him down.

“Cmere, Chicky.” Lin Fan beckoned to the haggard Chicky. Chicky looked as though he had just been gangbanged by numerous ferocious male beasts. Struggling to stand up, it hobbled claw by claw over to Lin Fan.

The side profession of being a Trainer was strong. Indeed, no living being in this world could escape from being tamed by the Trainer.

So what if it was the descendant of an Ancient Beast? Under the loving whip, it was still tamed without a single bit of resistance.

Lin Fan then barbequed the domestic fowl and rested for a bit after consuming it. After that, he continued exploring the place with Chicky perched on his shoulders.

Chicky was only a surprise gift. The real treasure of the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’ was yet to be found.

The entire Fiery Hell was so big to begin with. Lin Fan wasn’t even sure if the treasure indicated within the map was in this lava river. But compared to everything else in Fiery Hell, this lava river should be the most dangerous place of all.

And based on the thinking of normal people, treasures would usually be hidden in the most dangerous spots.

And just like that, the man and chicken duo continued walking beneath the lava river. This was really like another world. If not for the glow above from the lava river itself, he would have thought that this was the ground level.

Just then, Lin Fan realized that his surroundings were starting to change. The charred black ground and walls were changing as they went further.

A few ancient trees appeared before Lin Fan’s eyes. Some birds were even perched on some of them.

ROAR!

Just then, a wild beast leaped out from within the darkness. It roared at Lin Fan with a vicious look on its face, startling him.

To think that there would even be beasts living in this place. Incredible indeed!

Chicky, who was on Lin Fan’s shoulders, leaped down and faced the beast, crying out with outstretched wings.

‘Cuck cuck cuck!’

Even though the cry was weird, Chicky was the descendant of an Ancient Beast after all. Therefore, there was some sort of authority within its bloodline that made other beasts quiver in submission at its sight and presence.

The beast’s expression changed as it retreated slightly, as though ready to make a run for it.

“Chicky, ask it if there’s any weird place around here.” Lin Fan was starting to get worried. After all, he had been exploring for quite a while with Chicky, but had yet to come across anything.

Chicky’s intellect was pretty high, so it could understand Lin Fan’s words. It nodded its small little head and turned to the beast, “Cuck koo koo?”

Even though Lin Fan could not understand what Chicky was talking about, he supposed that this was just beast talk.

Just then, Chicky flapped its wings repeatedly and with a single leap, jumped onto the beast’s head. Chicky then called out to Lin Fan, as though implying for him to follow them.

Lin Fan broke into a smile. Seemed like he was in luck.

Lin Fan really had to give it to this Fiery Hell. It was so bloody big that searching for anything within it was just like searching for a needle in a haystack. He did not know if the place he was headed to now was the location indicated by the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’.

Lin Fan just followed behind the beast all the way. He didn’t not know how long he had walked for, but all he knew was that the scenery was changing all the way. By his estimation, he must have walked for two entire days at least.

After God knew how long, the beast finally stopped. After exchanging a few more words with Chicky, it fled immediately.

Lin Fan was puzzled. He did not know what the beast was talking about. But when he turned his gaze forward, he was stunned by the sight before him.

This was the base of a waterfall before him. However, what flowed was not water, but the lava river as it gushed continuously down from above.

Was this the weird place?

By the looks of it, it didn’t look too weird. What was so special about this?

But just then, Chicky was alerted as it spread out its wings, crying out loudly at the waterfall. It was as if something was causing Chicky to be like this.

Lin Fan focused his eyes and gazed at the waterfall. It seemed like there was a pair of eyes staring at them from within.

“Come back, Chicky.” Lin Fan took out his Eternal Axe and stared at the waterfall cautiously.

ROAR!

A roar erupted from within the waterfall like a shockwave, causing Lin Fan’s clothes to flutter with the force. A gigantic paw appeared from within the waterfall, stretching out with its blood-red claws. Slamming down on the ground, it seemed to be stopping the flow of the waterfall.

Lin Fan squinted. What a strong aura! At the same time, the beast was like a gargantuan rock. Just a single paw alone was like a small mountain of its own.

Following the paw, a mammoth head stretched out from within the waterfall. It cut off the waterfall’s flow entirely, as the lava now landed on its head, gently splashing about.

That colossal head was filled with black scales, as raging fire burnt in both of its eyes. The moment it stretched out its head, it stared at Lin Fan and roared once more.

The series of roars were like sharp blades, shaking Lin Fan nonstop.

When it’s entire body was revealed, Lin Fan could not help but raise his head, stupefied.

This. Was. Huge.

The aura it gave off was repressively suffocating.

Strong. Really…strong!

Lin Fan could feel it now. There must be some sort of treasure behind the waterfall. Why else would there be such a fearsome creature guarding this place?

From just the aura alone, Lin Fan knew that this beast was definitely at least at Greater Celestial Full Cultivation.

Lin Fan retreated a few steps back. He had no affinity with this treasure after all. This beast was not something he could deal with.

That gigantic beast revealed a row of sharp teeth, growling at Lin Fan with murderous intent. But what Lin Fan could not get was why this beast had yet to strike against him. Why was it still biding its time by the waterfall for so long?

Could it be that his cultivation base was too low to even attract this beast’s attention?

Lin Fan felt a strong sense of shame, as though he was being looked down at by this beast.

“Fine. I’ll give it to you. I’ll spare your miserable life this time round. Once Yours Truly gets stronger, I will come back here and take it away!” Lin Fan pointed a middle finger at the beast, threatening it before he prepared to leave.

Right before he left, he checked it out with the system.

‘Lesser Celestial Lower Level.’

Lin Fan rubbed his eyes. Could he have seen wrongly? How was it only at Lesser Celestial cultivation base?

That aura that it erupted with was definitely one of a Greater Celestial Full Cultivation!

Could it be that…! The only thought that crossed Lin Fan’s mind was that…this beast was acting it out! It was just a sheep in wolf’s clothing!

Patting Chicky, Lin Fan smiled, “Time to fuck it up.”

“CUCKOOKOO!”

Chapter 221: Jade White Bones

p>Lesser Celestial Lower Level.

This wasn’t a weak cultivation base. If this were the old Lin Fan, he would have revered a beast like this. But the current him no longer had any room in his heart for something like this.

Furthermore, his dear Chicky’s cultivation base was also a Lesser Celestial Lower Level. How could they lose with this 2v1 advantage?

Lin Fan swung his arms with his Eternal Axe, warming himself up to get ready for battle.

Chicky looked at Lin Fan and followed suit, swinging its wings up and down, twisting its little claws. It even wrung that highly arched chicken head of itself in circles, as though it was circulating the blood in its body system, prepping for a serious fight.

The gargantuan beast standing beneath the waterfall suddenly rose on its hind legs, pounding its chest like King Kong. Revealing its razor-sharp teeth, it looked extremely intimidating.

If Lin Fan did not have the system to reveal its true strength, he might very well have been scared off by this stance. But now, the more the beast posed, the more Lin Fan saw it as a guilty conscience of hiding its true strength.

Lin Fan grinned smugly. He appeared instantaneously in front of the beast, leaving a rainbow streak in his path. Raising his head, he taunted, “Just fight if you wanna, stop with the bullshit.”

“CUCKCUCKCUCKCUCK!!!!” Chicky spread its wings, trying to fly with Lin Fan as well. But it couldn’t, so it could only stand on its original spot and cried out haughtily.

The beast lowered its colossal head slowly and glared at Lin Fan, budging not even a single inch. It then moved its hind leg slowly.

In a swift motion, it leaped far away into the distance.

What the hell? Lin Fan did not know what this beast was up to. This behavior by the beast was extremely puzzling.

After the beast leaped far away, it looked at Lin Fan angrily again. Once more, it roared furiously with a look of hatred, as though it was determined to fight Lin Fan to its death.

ROAR!

This roar shook heaven and earth, causing everything around to vibrate. It shot out an explosive aura once more, ready for battle at any moment.

Looking at the beast, Lin Fan grinned again. Against a Lesser Celestial beast, he had utmost confidence of slaying it.

“Even though your experience points may not be too much, you’ll still be a pretty decent thing to spar with.” Lin Fan chuckled.

The beast glared at Lin Fan in disdain, as though he was nothing much. Shocked at the beast’s look, Lin Fan was even more surprised when it turned and ran away immediately.

…

Lin Fan glanced at Chicky. What the fck?

That was it? The beast ran just like that?

This was the first time Lin Fan had seen a beast behave like this. Most of the time, even if the beasts were no match for their opponents, they would fight to their deaths. But this beast knew that it was no match for this man and just ran off like that?

Lin Fan laughed exasperatedly while shaking his head, “Hais, impressive, impressive. Seems like the general intellect of beasts these days have risen considerably.”

Chicky cried out loudly and haughtily. Hopping up onto Lin Fan’s shoulders once more, the man and chicken duo passed through the waterfall and entered within.

Upon entering, Lin Fan surveyed his surroundings. This was a cave with glowing red walls, from which a heatwave was emitting continuously. This place was about the size of two football fields.

The size was just right for the beast which had escaped.

Lin Fan strutted forth continuously, only stopping when he came to a stone door.

The door was around ten feet in both length and width. But what attracted Lin Fan was a drawing above the door. The drawing was extremely lifelike. It depicted seven old men standing around in a circle in weird stances as though they were in the midst of a discussion.

Could it be that the legacy left by the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’ belonged to these seven, and not a single person?

Lin Fan had always thought that the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’ belonged to a single person. But by the looks of this drawing, there should have been seven of them.

Lin Fan placed his hand on the door, looking to feel around for a way to open it. But the moment Lin Fan’s hand touched the door, it opened upwards with a loud boom.

Lin Fan scratched his head. That was too easy, wasn’t it? How was there no resistance at all? This wasn’t what Lin Fan had expected.

Based on the way things had gone so far, Fiery Hell was a trial. The lava river was a trial. Even the beast guarding this entrance was a trial of its own. So by right, there should be a trial right here at the entrance as well, shouldn’t it?

How could it be that there was simply no resistance to this door opening? Could it be that when the seven of them had created this cave, they had already exhausted all their ideas for trials earlier on? Thus, they could not think up of what to set up here?

But little did Lin Fan know that…he was right.

Indeed, when the Seven Saints were designing the route over here, they did run out of ideas for any traps at this door.

Entering the door, it wasn’t as dark as Lin Fan had thought. All four walls were emitting a warm glow, illuminating this secret room brightly.

None of this was anything like Lin Fan’s imagination.

The walls of the room were uneven and rough, with nothing exceptionally worth noticing. Within this small room, there was only a stone bed and a round stone table.

Due to the passage of time, the stone table was entirely covered in dust. Lin Fan checked it out carefully, and found a wooden box on it. He did not know what it was used for, but with the passage of time, there was a rotten stench of decay around it.

Lin Fan lifted the box and blew away the dust. Opening the box, he found a pill lying within quietly. Beneath this pill was a piece of paper. The paper was golden entirely.

Through the system, Lin Fan found out that this wooden box was made of Mystical Wood, and even the paper itself was unique. It was made from the thread of a King Golden Silkworm.

Lin Fan had not heard of either of these two materials, nor had he seen them ever.

Lin Fan read the description on the paper: ‘Potential Origins Pill: After consumption, one would possess boundless potential.’

Lin Fan frowned. He had thought that this would be a godly pill to buff someone up, but to think that it was a mere pill to just increase one’s potential. This was pretty disappointing! Now that Lin Fan’s potential was unlimited thanks to the system, this pill was of practically no use to him.

‘Ding…congratulations on discovering Soul Crushing Pill.’

‘Soul Crushing Pill: Consumption would lead to the immediate disintegration of one’s body and death.’

Lin Fan had just intended to take a look at the pill, but the notification by the system gave him a shock.

What the fck? The paper had described it as a godly pill! Why the hell was the description given by the system entirely different?

‘Hais…’

Lin Fan sighed. No wonder no traps was awaiting him at the entrance of this door. This place was fraught with dangers. If he had not been warned by the system, he might very well have been tricked to death by this.

After placing the pill in his storage, Lin Fan realized that there was actually something on the stone bed.

It was a jade white skeleton sitting cross-legged.

Lin Fan rushed forward in astonishment. This jade white skeleton shimmered with light, giving off an ancient aura. This aura was extremely pressurizing. To think that this person would still carry such an intimidating presence even after his death.

Even though there was no trace of flesh or blood after decomposing over time, the skeleton remained pristine with not a slight bit of damage.

This must have been one of the Seven Saints! He must have been incredibly powerful while he was alive. To think that his bones would remain perfect without even a single bit of dust after so long.

Impenetrable, indestructible over the ages…

Chapter 222: Let’s See Who Is Trickier

p>In front of the jade white skeleton laid a praying mat.

This scene looked so familiar to Lin Fan’s eyes, as though he’d seen it a thousand times. Just then, Lin Fan spotted some tiny words inscribed beside the skeleton on the stone bed.

These words were no trouble to Lin Fan.

‘Whoever reads this has an affinity with me. Using the praying mat, kowtow for 18,800 times. You will then receive my legacy.’

Reading these words, Lin Fan looked at the skeleton again and laughed.

“HAHA! No wonder Yours Truly found this so bloody familiar! Isn’t this the exact storyline from ‘Demi-gods and Semi-devils’? Frankly, if not for that manhood on your skeleton, Yours Truly would have thought that you’re Li Qiushui’s sister!”

Lin Fan was extremely used to a development like this. Man, to kowtow 18,800 times, wouldn’t that smash someone’s head right open or destroy this praying mat entirely? But c’mon, wasn’t the treasure just hidden under the praying mat? What was so difficult about this?

Instantly, Lin Fan ripped a hole in the praying mat. Indeed, a golden book laid beneath it.

Looking at the material used, this must be the same material from the King Golden Silkworm, to be able to resist corrosion till now. Beside the book, Lin Fan caught sight of another piece of paper. The contents of the paper left Lin Fan in disbelief as he gaped at the skeleton with open jaws.

‘The world has never lacked in talented individuals. After kowtowing your due kowtows, the skeleton which contains this old man’s lifelong powers will turn into a current and be transfused to you. If you had broken through forcefully, your thoughts and intents are not pure enough. However, as an appreciation for your effort in making this long journey, this is a ‘Seven Saints Glorious Records’ book for you.’

Reading it entirely, Lin Fan could only stand there and blink his eyes dumbly. The only thought that came into his mind right now was to pray to the Heavens for another chance.

This tricky thing was not trickier than Lin Fan! If he were to pray hard enough, he was sure that his sincerity could break him out of this unfortunate situation right now instead of getting the lesser reward!

“Your Highness, please give me another chance!” Lin Fan howled tragically. The pain he was feeling now over this loss could only be understood by him.

He was so close… SO CLOSE to getting it!

BOOM!

Just then, the secret room began vibrating violently.

Behind the jade white skeleton, a void opened up in thin air. Right under Lin Fan’s nose, the skeleton was sucked deep within, disappearing entirely.

‘Your Highness, please don’t do this…!’

But it was all too late. Lin Fan realized that even the secret room itself was starting to distort and contort. The stone table and stone bed twisted into a ball and disappeared.

‘Cuckookoo!’ Chicky started crying out on Lin Fan’s shoulders.

“Cuck your head!” Lin Fan threw Chicky along with the ‘Seven Saints Glorious Records’ into his storage sack and ran towards the entrance.

But the suction from the black void was way too strong. Lin Fan could barely move forward.

‘F*ck me…!’

Lin Fan’s vision turned black as he drifted into darkness once more.

…

The base of the mountain of Glory Sect’s Entrance…

A series of carriages rushed over as though they had been through countless hardships along the journey, stopping only at the entrance of Glory Sect.

“Mistress, we’re here.” As the chief housekeeper of the Gong Family, it was Wang Hu’s responsibility to ensure his mistress’s safety.

He didn’t approve of his mistress’s decision to head over to Glory Sect. After all, they could not afford to offend Glory Sect no matter what. But seeing his mistress’s resolute face, Wang Hu could only sigh exasperatedly and follow her orders.

From the Mo City to Glory Sect was a shortcut. If one were to rush through it, they could arrive within a matter of days. However, the shortcut was treacherous and filled with beasts.

In the end, they could only use the safer alternative. Even though this road was safer, the journey was extremely long, and the road was very mountainous and rocky.

After more than a month, they had finally arrived at their destination.

A jade-like smooth hand reached out from within the carriage and out stepped a peerless beauty. On the face of this beautiful woman was a look of sorrow as well as signs of hesitation.

Gong Bingye had a beauty that was unparalleled in this world. However, as a woman, she only had 2 choices. She would either belong to a powerful man, or she had to possess absolute strength.

But to Gong Bingye, the first path was the most suited for her.

Even though the Gong Family was pretty well to do, they weren’t strong enough to provide her with indefinite amounts of supplies required for cultivation. Furthermore, she knew herself well. She wasn’t born with an extremely talented potential to be groomed into a skilled martial artist.

For her to even enter precelesital cultivation base had already expended too many resources of the Gong Family. Even if she were to continue pushing in this direction, the future was pretty bleak.

“Mistress, would you consider this? A sect isn’t all perfect and wonderful as we outsiders would think it to be.” Even though Wang Hu knew that his mistress’s heart was firm, he couldn’t help himself from cautioning her once more.

Gong Bingye smiled gently like a blossoming flower, “I’ve thought it through. The Gong Family isn’t something a mere maiden like me can shoulder entirely.”

Wang Hu gripped his fists tightly, lamenting at his helplessness in this situation. He reared his head at those soaring peaks of Glory Sect. This was it, THE Glory Sect that everyone could only dream of entering.

“Let us head forth.” Gong Bingye said.

“Yes.” Wang Hu nodded.

For this journey, the Gong Family only brought along the guards that had served them for many years.

…

“Who are you guys?” When Gong Bingye arrived at the main entrance, she was halted by Glory Sect disciples who were keeping watch.

“Kind sirs, my name is Gong Bingye. Head of the Gong Family of Mo City. My purpose for this journey is to look for Lin Fan.” Gong Bingye said calmly.

The 2 disciples who were keeping guard were stunned. “Why are you looking for Junior Master Lin? Junior Master Lin had left the sect for 2 months and have yet to return.”

Gong Bingye once had her doubts about Lin Fan’s identity. But upon seeing the reactions of these disciples, she let loose a sigh of relief in her heart.

“I am Lin Fan’s wife, here to look for him. He had told me that I could come by anytime.”

The two disciples gaped at Gong Bingye. They looked at one another in disbelief. Junior Master Lin’s wife? How was this possible? But then, they took another look at Gong Bingye.

They couldn’t deny that even the female disciples of Jialan Peak might not be a match for her. Other than the big disciple of Jialan Peak, Mu Bingyan, no one else could truly measure up to her beauty.

Even though lust should not be present in men of cultivation, which man could truly let go of such mortal emotions?

Thinking back, Junior Master Lin was also a man. It wouldn’t be surprising if he had let loose a little after he left the sect.

“Wait a moment. We’ll report on this.”

“My gratitude.”

…

These disciples immediately made haste to inform Senior Elder Wuya of this matter. Ever since Junior Master Lin had left the sect, Senior Elder Wuya had gone down the sect in search of him multiple times in a row, but to no avail. And now that this woman who proclaimed to be Lin Fan’s wife was here, this was strange indeed.

Wuya could barely eat or sleep much these past 2 months, as he was worried where this kid could have run off to.

He had searched 10,000 miles around Glory Sect, but he could not find a single trace of Lin Fan. Especially since this kid could hide his aura entirely without a single trace, Wuya could only give up on his search helplessly.

“Elder! There’s a woman at the entrance claiming to be Lin Fan’s wife!”

The moment Wuya heard these words, he appeared in front of the sect’s entrance in a flash, leaving only a rainbow streak behind him.

The moment Wuya appeared, he took a close inspection of this woman. Even though Wuya was already 100+ years old and had long grown weary of these mortal affairs, he could not deny that this woman was captivating indeed. Pity her potential wasn’t as satisfactory.

Whether or not this was that kid’s wife, he could not say for certain. After all, if he were as young as Lin Fan, he may have fallen for someone like her as well.

Especially someone like that kid, even though he did not mess around in the sect, Wuya could tell that he wasn’t simple or pure. Who knew whether he might have flirted around casually after leaving the sect and left these traces behind. That wasn’t impossible as well.

After all, even someone like the Grand Master had his fair share of love affairs back when he was younger. But for someone to turn up at the doorsteps just like this was a first for them as well.

He must definitely have a good talk with that kid once he got back.

Chapter 223: Disgrace Of A Chicken

p>‘Where…am I?’

Lin Fan shook his head around, trying to clear the daze he was in. His surroundings looked foreign; the floor was made of wooden planks while on the wooden rooftop were hung some hunting equipment and beast skin. Looking out of the windows, the scenery and backdrop were entirely different from where he had been.

Checking himself, Lin Fan did not find anything wrong about him. The final scene at the secret room must have been him being teleported out of the place.

But the only thing Lin Fan regretted was losing out on the jade white skeleton. Damn it!

Lin Fan checked on Chicky as well. It was sleeping peacefully within his storage sack. Well, at least he didn’t return from the expedition empty-handed.

Even without the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’, he had managed to tame a descendant of an Ancient Beast. What a harvest this was!

Lin Fan took out the ‘Seven Saints Glorious Record’. This was the only useful thing he had gotten out of the secret room. By the looks of it, this should be a skill.

‘Ding…Congratulations on discovering ‘Seven Saints Glorious Record’. Volume 1. Learn?’

‘Learn.’

‘Ding…Congratulations on learning ‘Seven Saint Glorious Record’.’

Lin Fan could feel an energy source surging through his body. Even though this was volume 1 of the ‘Seven Saint Glorious Record’, the power level was already higher than a Heaven Upper-Grade skill. If he could collect all seven volumes of it, the power he would obtain should be impossible to imagine.

Suddenly, the wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

Lin Fan squinted his eyes and saw an old man. He wasn’t big sized, and rather a little hunchbacked. Covered with white hair, he didn’t look like someone with any evil intent.

This old man’s cultivation base was not too high, just at a precelestial middle level. But Lin Fan could tell from a single look that his potential was pretty dismal.

In fact, the fact that he was even able to be a precelestial with this potential level was already pretty much a miracle in itself.

“Sir, you’re awake? Is there anything you require?” The moment the old man saw Lin Fan, he greeted him courteously.

Lin Fan chuckled, “Old man, you know who I am?”

Lin Fan knew that under normal circumstances, most people his age would refer to him as a young man or young fella. But the moment this old man entered, he addressed Lin Fan as a Sir. This was somewhat unexpected.

The old man laughed as well, “Sir, I did wander about here and there while I was a young man as well. Therefore, I’ve got some knowledge of the outside world. By your aura and demeanor, I could tell that you’re a pretty extraordinary man. Even though I do not know why you had fainted before our village, I garnered that you must have met with something troublesome.”

“Haha!” Lin Fan laughed out. Indeed, experience does come with age. But right now, he was quite confused as to where he was.

“Where is this place?”

“Sir, this is the Yan Village, and I’m the village chief, Yan Shanli. A few hundred miles from this place is the Qinshen Dynasty.” The village chief explained slowly to Lin Fan.

When Yan Shanli was a young lad, he used to travel around the place adventurously. However, it was a pity that his potential was limited. Even as he got to his middle ages, his cultivation base still remained at precelestial middle level. Realizing that that was the maximum level he could probably get to, he returned to the village with regrets. After the previous village chief passed away, he took on the responsibility and had kept watch over the village ever since.

Lin Fan was silent as Yan Shanli was explaining it all. Qinshen Dynasty? What the fck? In the blink of an eye, he had teleported more than hundred thousand miles away?!?

Lin Fan had memorized the records within the Glory Sect by heart. All the places within Dongling Continent were recorded within the books, and according to them, the Qin Shengwang Dynasty was more than hundred thousand miles away from the Glory Sect.

Even Fiery Hell was just around ten thousand miles away from Glory Sect. How the hell was he teleported to this place in an instant?

But oh well, forget it. Since he was here, it was the same as wherever he would have headed to. The main point was still to get his cultivation base up.

“Sir, if there’s nothing else, I would take my leave.” Village chief Yan said politely.

“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded.

…

The moment village chief Yan exited the house, he saw a group of curious kids gathered before the house. Waving his hand, he said softly, “Hush, let’s not disturb the honorable sir’s rest.”

The group of children then dispersed and headed off.

Lin Fan let out Chicky who immediately arched its head and cried out ‘Cuckookookoo!’ continuously.

Lin Fan slapped his head.

“Cuck your head. Shut up.”

Chicky turned his head to glare at Lin Fan in disdain. It then twerked its ass and walked towards the wooden door. Kicking it open with one claw, it ran out.

Lin Fan sat there contemplating his next course of action.

He took out the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’ and examined it closely before heaving a sigh of relief. There was a forbidden ground close to Qinshen Dynasty. So at least he wasn’t fcked too bad after all.

Just then, a series of laughter roared from outside. Out of curiosity, Lin Fan headed out. There was a group of children gathered in a circle, pointing and laughing at something.

Taking a closer look, Lin Fan frowned.

There it was, raising its wings up high, the one and only dear Chicky bullying a rooster so badly that it was lying on the ground, trembling. Puffing his chest and arching his head up, Chicky walked away in pride. A group of hens followed behind him, attracted by this imposing little chicken.

Chicky walked towards a hen and circled around her.

‘CUCKOOKOO!’

Chicky arched his neck and cried out loudly. The hen spread her wings wide open as well, twerking her backside really high.

Just then, Chicky leaped on top of the hen. Using his featherless wings, he covered the hen, as though he was afraid of letting people see what they were up to. Lin Fan was absolutely dumbfounded by this point.

“What a weird rooster! It doesn’t even have a single feather on it!” A dumb looking boy commented, dripping mucus from his nose.

“Ah Da’s daughter in law has been snatched away!” Another kid remarked, pointing at the indignant rooster who was still sprawled on the floor due to Chicky.

…

Lin Fan wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead and hauled Chicky up with two fingers, “You disgraceful fella!” Chicky cried out loudly. He was just in the middle of getting to something good!

‘CUCUCUCUCUKOO!’

“CU your head! Get you’re a*s back here!” Lin Fan tossed Chicky into his storage sack helplessly.

Born as a respectable Ancient Beast, yet he was indulging in such sinful activities such as an extramarital affair with another rooster’s daughter in law! Where was his dignity and pride?!

Looking at what Lin Fan just did, all the surrounding children called out excitedly as well.

“Uncle! What happened to that rooster! What did you do to it! How did you make it disappear just like that!”

“Where did it go!”

Looking at these bustling children, Lin Fan could not help but let out a smile. He then gave out sweets to them.

Lin Fan toured the village. It wasn’t a big place with probably only a hundred residents or so. They survived with what they could: hunting, fishing et cetera. It was peaceful and lovely.

Towards this foreigner, all the villagers were polite and kind as well.

After a week here, Lin Fan felt that it was about time for him to move on.

Lin Fan had already planned it all out. His next destination on the ‘Seven Saints Treasure Map’ would be the Dead Demon Seas.

The Dead Demon Seas laid around thousand miles away from the Qinshen Dynasty. He would then slowly conquer the rest of the locations indicated on the treasure map one by one.

Next day…

“Village chief Yan, thank you for your warm accommodation. These are a few pills here. When anyone is injured from hunting beasts or the likes, as long as they were still breathing and alive, these pills can save them for sure.” Lin Fan did not have many treasures on hand, but he had quite a number of herbs. Cultivating some pills for these villagers was his way of repaying their kindness.

Village chief Yan was not someone who was ignorant of the ways of the world. When he heard of the effects produced by these pills, he was extremely grateful, thanking Lin Fan profusely.

“Farewell. We’ll meet again if we have the affinity…” After bidding farewell, Lin Fan flew into the air towards the distance.

Ever since he had broken through to pericelestial, he had obtained the ability to connect with the True Energy of the Heavens and Earth, allowing him to traverse through the air itself. In other words, fly.

Even though the speed wasn’t extremely fast, it was still really convenient compared to traveling on foot. Looking at Lin Fan’s back view, village chief Yan felt a wave of nostalgia. This man reminded him of his youth.

Flying above the woods, Lin Fan looked down on the grounds below, heading South.

Just then, he spotted a convoy of people down below. But, Lin Fan did not pay much attention to them, speeding up and heading along his way.

Chapter 224: Fate Worse Than Death

p>”And your village is just right ahead?” A man who was riding on a beast asked coldly. He was dressed in embroidered robes, sporting an air of superiority.

“Yes, crown prince! It’s just right ahead!” The man who was following beside young master Zou answered hurriedly.

“Very well. If such a creature does exist, then I will guarantee you a lifetime of riches.” Zou Sheng’s eyes glinted coldly. If the creature were for real, it would be extremely beneficial in aiding him to fight for the throne.

In the Qinshen Dynasty, there were dozens of crown princes. If one sought to stand out for the throne, not only did he have to be cunning, he also had to have actual fighting strength.

“Erm, crown prince, then about the conditions I’ve requested from you…” The man who was leading the way cowered and asked hesitantly. But the thought of being able to enjoy a lifetime of riches was having him salivating.

“Hmph. Once I get what I’m here for, you’ll get your due rewards. But, you DO know the consequences if I find out that you’re lying to me, right?” Zou Sheng was one of the crown princes vying for the throne. This country bumpkin here had stopped him along his way, claiming that there was a treasure for him, hoping to get something good in return for it.

To someone like Zou Sheng, he could easily give off rewards and gold. But to think that a treasure would be hidden in this village was pretty unbelievable.

“Yes…yes, prince! Don’t worry. Every single word I spoke of was the truth!” The man replied anxiously.

“That had better be the case.” Zou Sheng nodded his head and waved his hands forth. “Move on.”

A group of fearsome soldiers cladded in black armor followed behind Zou Sheng.

At the entrance of the Yan Village, a group of children were playing around when before their very eyes appeared a group of soldiers. Some of the older kids ran off immediately to inform the adults.

Upon hearing the news, village chief Yan hurried over quickly. When he saw the group of people gathered outside, his face changed. Even more so when he saw who it was who was leading them.

“Unfilial son! How dare you return?” Village chief Yan hollered angrily, his face flushed red. The man standing amongst the black soldiers lowered his head shamefully, not daring to make any eye contact with the village chief.

Zou Sheng laughed coldly as he sat atop his ferocious beast, “Hand it over obediently…”

…

Lin Fan had already flown tens of miles away from the village, but he could not shake off this feeling that something was amiss. In a place as secluded as this, how could there be such a big group of people? Just what were they up to?

Besides, the direction they seemed to be heading towards was the Yan Village!

Worried, Lin Fan turned around and headed back. No matter what, he had to verify for himself what the situation was. Even if there were nothing wrong, he’d only have a peace of mind if he had seen it for himself.

Since he had already passed by them, he might as well check it out. If there were truly nothing wrong, then he’d just get going along his way as well.

The closer Lin Fan got to the Yan Village, the more he realized that the skies seemed to be glowing red, with a stench of blood spreading through the air.

Lin Fan’s heart tightened as he frowned. Was there really something wrong? He pushed forward even faster.

Just then, he heard sorrowful cries ringing through the skies. Curses, swears, anger, they all entered Lin Fan’s ears.

Lowering his head, Lin Fan couldn’t help but fume within his heart. He gritted his teeth angrily and spat out a single word.

“Bstard.”

…

“Old man! You had better hand it over! Otherwise, I cannot guarantee the life of this child!” Zou Sheng laughed coldly holding a long sword in his hand, its tip resting on a child’s neck. It was as though the moment village chief Yan said the word no, this kid would cease to exist.

“You bunch of bstards!” Village chief Yan roared furiously.

“Hmph!”

Instantaneously, a human head flew up into the skies. Wringing his wrist, Zou Sheng sliced the flying head into 4-5 pieces with his Sword Will. Blood spurted across the air at this cruel scene.

“Old man! Just hand the thing over to the crown prince! You’ll also receive quite a bit of riches… unless you’re wishing for death as well.” The man who had led the way was also shocked at this development. He had not expected the crown prince to be this cold-hearted.

“SHUT UP, UNFILIAL SON!” Village chief Yan glared at Yan Xiong with bloodshot eyes.

“Seems like you’re not giving in then, eh? Alright then, this girl here seems to be 13-14 years old at best. What a tender and ripe age. You can have her, Hei Shan.” Zou Sheng laughed coldly and unsympathetically.

“Thank you crown prince!” Just then, a soldier in black walked out while grinning. He was extremely large, almost the size of a bear. With a thirsty look in his eyes, he glared at the little girl who was cowering on the floor while trembling. Laughing wildly, he pulled her over.

“YOU GUYS ARE DEMONS!”

…

“Who’s the stone-hearted one here? Seems like you’re still not willing to give it out, old man.” Zou Sheng said callously, following up with a flash of light.

The little girl who was held under Hei Xiong had her head separated from her neck. A stream of blood spurted from where her head once rested, spraying across the ground as her body laid limp in this harrowing scene.

“I’LL FIGHT YOU GUYS TO DEATH!” Village chief Yan howled as he rushed forth. But in the eyes of Zou Sheng, he was nothing but an ant. Slicing down diagonally from his shoulders, Zou Sheng cut down on village chief Yan harshly.

A tragic cry rang through the skies. Even Yan Xiong, who was viewing this, was starting to tremble uncontrollably.

“Crown prince…this is my father…Could you…?” Yan Xiong was fearful.

“Hehe. From this day on, you’ll enjoy riches you could only ever dream of. What other use is there for this old man? Unless you wanna die in his place, eh?” A murderous look flashed by Zou Sheng’s face as he laughed maniacally. This feeling, this was it… The feeling of being able to control the life and death of all these people around here was just the best there was!

“Yes…yes…!” Yan Xiong stuttered. “You’re…right, crown prince…!”

Yan Xiong was the son of village chief Yan. He had long known that there was a treasure passed down from generations to generations by the ancestors of the Yan Village, only to be protected by the village chief. Yan Xiong then had a tainted thought to steal this treasure to sell in the cities in exchange for riches.

But after several failed attempts, he was discovered by his father. He was then exiled out of the village. Reaching Qinshen Dynasty, he then had an idea to sell out the secret.

To Yan Xiong, this must definitely be a priceless treasure. Therefore, he couldn’t seek the help of any common man for this. But, there was no way he would ever be granted an audience with the ruler of the dynasty. Thus, after camping for a period of time, he finally caught sight of crown prince Zou Sheng.

“Stop right there!”

Just then, a streak of rainbow flashed through the skies. Lin Fan looked at the surroundings, feeling his blood run cold. Who the fck would do something like this?

Just like that, all the residents of the village laid around, massacred. Furthermore, none of the bodies were whole. They were all in bits and pieces. Just what sort of a sick bstard would do something so heinous?

Not even the children were spared. DAMN IT!

“Sir…” In village chief Yan’s eyes flashed a single sparkle of hope the moment he caught sight of Lin Fan.

Struggling with whatever remaining strength he had, he clawed against the ground to Lin Fan. With a pair of trembling hands, he gripped Lin Fan’s pants with everything he had.

“Sir… the lowly me has a treasure that I’ve been keeping guard over generations for the village…It is hidden beneath the wooden hut you were in…I’m willing to give it to you, sir…Please, I only beg…I beg of you…please avenge all the hundred dead villagers I failed…to protect…” Village chief Yan choked dismally, shedding tears down his eyes. As he finished, he jerked and breathed his last.

Standing there, Lin Fan was trembling with rage, his eyes shut tightly. The moment he opened his eyes, the skies changed. A never before seen aura erupted from Lin Fan’s body.

“Very well, I will let you know what’s a fate worse than death…”
