The Strongest System - Chapter 316

Chapter 316: Forever Taken As A Braggart

p>Lin Fan just could not stand watching this any longer. Why was there so much incessant chattering just for such a simple mission?

Even if he had not discovered the Supreme Being’s Token Shard, he might have decided to throw in his assistance given how much of a fuss this was causing.

To think that a man, whose age was practically enough for him to be the grandfather of the grandfather of this girl, would dream of lusting for her as such. What a speechless scene!

Furthermore, now that he had found out about the existence of the token shard with Princess Long Yuan, Lin Fan did not mind making a trade out of this.

The moment his voice rang out, everyone’s gaze turned towards Lin Fan.

Princess Long Yuan did the same. However, the moment she caught sight of who it was, her face looked disappointed.

“HAHA! Is this kid high or what?!?”

“Hey kiddo, don’t bite off more than you can chew, man! The beast stampede is not as easy as you would think of it to be!”

“I think this kid’s sharing the same thoughts as our old bro. Even if he were to die, he must get his hands on this beauty before him.”

“What do you have to say about this, old bro? There’s only one princess to be given away… Unless you wanna share with this guy?”

…

The old man was sizing up Lin Fan as well. Even with his strength of a greater celestial, he could not make out Lin Fan’s capabilities. The thought of him being unable to tell Lin Fan’s strength because of the other party being stronger than him did not even cross his mind.

To the old man, strength was something that was accumulated with time. Even the genius disciples of the various sects could not possibly be stronger than him at their young age.

“Well, you had better give up on those dreams, lad. You won’t be able to get the princess with just mere dumb guts to die. Given your fragile and pathetic body, you won’t even be enough to fit between the teeth of the beasts.” The old man continued laughing, “No matter what, this old man here is a greater celestial lower level. There’s no way you can compete with me.”

Ignoring everyone’s words, Lin Fan pointed at the token shard, “All I require for compensation is that thing. I can guarantee that the Long Yuan dynasty will not lose even a single weakest soldier.”

The moment his words came out, the crowd roared in laughter.

“Holy fck! I, the great sword wielder, Wang Wu, have traveled the Pugilistic World for 40 years now, yet this is the first time I’ve come across someone with such brash confidence!”

“Old bro, seems like you’ve got a match right here! The words of this kid are practically like slaps across your face!”

“Fcking hell! As a spear user of 20 years, I, Xiao Liu, had yet to see such a braggart. This is the first time I finally caught sight of one!”

“If the sects were to hear this load of bullsht here, they might even spit out their blood entirely! Even they would not dare to promise that not even a single soldier will be lost. And yet, here we have someone with such big words! I gotta say that’s pretty impressive!”

“Old bro, in fact, even you’re not a match for this guy! His ability of bullshtting goes all the way up to a greater celestial full cultivation being level! You’ve got to bow down to that man!”

…

The inn was unusually noisy right now. Everyone was in bouts of laughter over Lin Fan’s apparent ignorance.

Not even a single soldier? What a big joke this was!

“Princess Long Yuan, what do you have to say about my terms? I can help you tide through this predicament without even a single soldier dying. All I ask for is that thing on your waist.” Lin Fan repeated.

Princess Long Yuan touched the black thing on her waist as she frowned, wondering what this man wanted to do with it.

This thing had remained within the royal family’s treasure vault since an ancient era. Back when she entered the treasure vault, she was intrigued by the design and imprint of it, so she hung it on her waist casually. To think that someone would want something like this.

But to the princess right now, she would rather place her hopes on that old man than Lin Fan.

After all, the age difference between them was clear.

Even though a greater celestial lower level being might not be able to protect the dynasty, there was still a strain of hope.

As for Lin Fan, the princess had zero hopes on him.

Just then, the old man spoke up, “Princess Long Yuan, take this kiddo along. I have to see just what sort of capabilities he has to be able to blow that horn of his. I no longer want you as compensation. I’ll just do my best based on the situation. If we fail the defense, I’ll protect my own life first. If we manage to hold on, give me the title of Marquis and that’ll do.”

“Okay.” Princess Long Yuan nodded her head.

The old man then tossed Lin Fan a side glance, “Kid, don’t piss your pants when the time comes.”

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, praising his own lucky stars. Seemed like he just had to offer a slight favor and he would get yet another token shard in return. Lady Luck was definitely on his side!

“Go, lets head to the dynasty right now!” The old man beckoned with his hand. As he passed by Lin Fan, he let out an audible snort.

He was someone who liked to tear apart the mask of braggarts.

All the surrounding vagrant martial artists followed behind them. Naturally, the would not take part in the defense for their own safety. They would just hide somewhere far away and observe.

After all, they might be able to scalp some valuable treasures after the Long Yuan dynasty was destroyed.

Those sects had avoided anything to do with this. There were some martial artists within the Long Yuan dynasty that had thrown in the towel and escaped earlier for their own lives.

Even those who were remaining were of a limited strength level, and of not much use.

At this time, all the vagrant martial artists were gathered around Lin Fan and deep in chatters.

“Kid! Where’re you from? To think that your bragging skills even exceeds our old bro’s!”

“There’s still time for you to regret now! Once the invasion of the stampede starts, there’s no way you can run away then!”

…

Looking at these vagrant martial artists, Lin Fan chuckled and decided to tease them as well, “Don’t worry man! The beast stampede’s nothing much! I can turn them into dust with just a single palm strike!”

“Sweet mother of gods, this braggart just does not let down on his lies!” A martial artist carrying a big metal bar raised his thumb up.

All the other vagrant martial artists burst out in laughter once more. This kid was just a walking riot!

Even though the words might not be that funny themselves, but judging by his age along with the context, everyone could not help but continue laughing.

One day later, they arrived at the Long Yuan dynasty.

Naturally, Lin Fan was left forgotten while old man Mo was welcomed warmly.

The emperor of the Long Yuan dynasty was only a lesser celestial upper-level being. But that was more than sufficient for him to lead the dynasty.

As the princess relayed the events of the previous day, the emperor did not pay much attention to it. But he was still grateful to Lin Fan nevertheless.

After all, anyone who would offer their help at this juncture was treated as VIPs.

As for the residents of the dynasty, most of them had retreated to hide in their underground basements.

This was the only way to reduce casualties against the oncoming beast stampede.

Next day…

On the city walls…

The soldiers of the dynasty stood atop the walls, weapons, and shields mounted on their arms. Their faces were grim, as they prepared for the oncoming stampede.

Old man Mo’s face was stern as well. Even though he was a greater celestial lower level, he had only gathered a single energy grid line chain. If the beast stampede was really too deadly, he would have no way against it himself.

The emperor and the princess were extraordinarily nervous, wondering how they should defend against this beast stampede.

Somewhere secluded and far away from the Long Yuan dynasty, the vagrant martial artists were hidden and rife with discussions.

“What sort of beast do you think will come in this stampede?”

“I’ve got a hunch that it’ll be a greater celestial upper-level beast!”

“I think it’ll be greater celestial full cultivation!”

“Oh man, seems like old bro Mo is gonna have a tough time man!”

“Don’t worry, old bro Mo’s already a greater celestial. It’ll be easy for him to escape if things go south!”

“Alright, enough with old bro Mo. I’ve got to see that braggart lad who promised no harm to even a single soldier!”

“Fck you, brother. You actually believe that fool?”

“Fck you too, brother. Do you think I’m really dumb? If I trusted his words I’ll be more retarded than retarded!”

Chapter 317: A Time For All To Despair

p>Back on the city walls, old man Mo’s face was calm on the surface, but his inner heart was like the raging seas. The skies were filled with red clouds in the distance, an ominous sign.

The beast stampede was approaching from the distance. Before long, all hell was going to break loose.

No one within the Long Yuan dynasty had any confidence towards defending against this beast stampede. In the previous few stampedes, they still harbored hope for life. But there wasn’t any single bit of hope this time around.

“Kid, if you’re afraid, you can go and hide first. Otherwise, when the stampede finally arrives, it’ll be too late for you.” Looking at Lin Fan standing there in a relaxed manner, old man Mo said in a displeased tone.

This kid was seriously someone who would only cry if he were really stung. To think that he would still act and put on a strong front against the incoming beast stampede. Or, could it be that he was pissing his pants right now at the sight of the fearsome stampede?

Old man Mo had already thought it through in his head. If things were to go south, or a greater celestial middle level beast and above were to appear, he would just turn tail and run.

After all, he had spent 100+ years training to this greater celestial cultivation base. How could he just die at some place like this?

Neither the title of Marquis nor the princess was enough for him to remain at this place. His own life was the most important thing naturally.

“Doesn’t matter. I’ve heard that these beast stampedes have caused massive harm to the Dongling Continent in recent years. Now that the Long Yuan dynasty is facing such a threat, there is no way I can just sit by idly.” Lin Fan chuckled before taking Chicky out from his storage.

“Cuckoo…!” The moment Chicky came out, he began to call out in happiness. But immediately after, he was stunned by the incoming menacing aura from a distance. He used his head to bang against Lin Fan’s cheeks, as though complaining, ‘Goodness Christ, it’s always for nothing good when you get me out!’

“Ha! What an interesting person you are indeed! To think that you would rear a chicken!” Looking at Chicky who was resting on Lin Fan’s shoulders, old man Mo let out a laugh.

Looking at Chicky, Princess Long Yuan revealed a look of disappointment too.

What sort of powerful being would rear such a useless creature? This was an animal that only common folks would rear, wasn’t it?

“Cuckoo!!!” Chicky cucked back in a retaliatory tone. Seeing this old man’s opinion of him as a chicken, he was extremely riled.

‘Yours Truly is an Ancient Beast, the Phoenix!’

Lin Fan patted Chicky’s head consolingly. Even though Chicky was the descendant of the Phoenix, there should have been a mutation in his genes to cause him to look like this.

Of course, these people wouldn’t be able to tell anything special about him. In fact, if Lin Fan hadn’t witnessed Chicky coming out of the Phoenix egg, he might not have believed it himself.

BOOM!

The ground shook as though everything was about to collapse.

From the forest in the distance, the trees began to topple down one after another. The loud roars and howls of these beasts sent a massive shockwave towards the direction of Long Yuan dynasty. In fact, some of the soldiers could not even remain standing still in the face of this incoming force.

The shadows from a distance grew ever denser as they approached. They were clumped together like ants, like a gigantic black hole. It was as though this was the mouth of a humungous divine beast that was waiting to devour the entire Long Yuan dynasty whole.

Compared to the beast stampede back at Green Ridge County, this was practically King Kong.

Seemed like there must definitely be someone commandeering these stampedes.

Long Yuan dynasty was a huge place, with a population ten of times more than Green Ridge County. Presumably, the mysterious force behind the beast stampede also understood the power of Long Yuan dynasty in comparison. Hence, it gathered a larger group of beasts for this oncoming onslaught.

Looking at the scene, everyone from Long Yuan dynasty was extremely horrified. This was way more massive than before.

The soldiers who had lost their balance from the sonic wave stood back up from the ground. But when they saw the sight before them, they shuddered in fear. Some of the weaker ones were literally peeing their pants as they squatted on the city walls, bawling in tears.

“F-father, do we stand a c-chance…?” Princess Long Yuan asked while trembling.

The emperor did not reply. His gaze was fixated at the stampede before him. At the same time, the hand which was wielding the sword of the emperor was starting to shake as well.

Old man Mo took in a deep breath. Seeing this hair-raising sight, he was starting to break out in cold sweat as well.

He had witnessed beast stampedes before. But this? This was the first time he was seeing something like this.

Millions? Tens of millions? Probably even more.

And just as everyone was worrying, a single sentence of Lin Fan had everyone looking down on him as a person. In fact, some people even began to loathe him.

“Chicky, what a feast this would be, don’t you think? A pity that they’re mere beasts.” Looking at the scene before him, Lin Fan was a little astonished as well.

Just where were these beasts coming from? How come he hadn’t come across such a large number of beasts anywhere before?

For a beast stampede to form, these beasts must not have been able to gather from all directions. Otherwise, someone was bound to have found them out. Seemed like there were still quite a number of things that he did not know.

“Kid, enough is enough. Stop with the big words. Even if there were no greater celestial beast, just the sheer number of them is enough to shred us into pieces.” Old man Mo looked at Lin Fan while stroking his beard. He had not expected this kid to continue with the bullshit even at the brink of death.

Princess Long Yuan looked at this man before her with eyes of hatred. She was getting irked by this man. If she had known that things would be as such, she wouldn’t have agreed with letting him come along.

To the princess, this man probably could not kill even a single beast.

Taking a look at old man Mo, Lin Fan smiled without replying anything. He then looked into the distance and said, “Eh? This is weird! How come the strongest beast there is only a lesser celestial full cultivation beast?”

“What? Just a lesser celestial full cultivation beast?!?” Old man Mo was about to continue, but upon hearing Lin Fan’s words, he looked into the distance in disbelief. That wrinkled face of his then revealed a look of happiness.

“HAHA! Princess Long Yuan, seems like the Heavens do not want to smite you down just yet! To think that their leader would just be a lesser celestial beast! This old man here shall try to take a shot at taking down their leader straight up!” Old man Mo heaved a sigh of relief. If this was only a lesser celestial, he would definitely be able to take it down.

Lin Fan looked the exchange between old man Mo and the princess, and he shook his head. What a fool! Obviously, things wouldn’t be so simple. How could there be just this lesser celestial leader for this large a stampede?

But no matter the cultivation base of the beasts that came, they were all the same to Lin Fan.

Even if the Eternal Arm was not the most powerful existence in the world, it was definitely overpowered in the Dongling Continent.

Just as Lin Fan was contemplating about these things, old man Mo shouted out loudly and leaped towards the stampede. He flew towards the lesser celestial beast with a murderous intent.

Even though old man Mo was a greater celestial lower level with just a single energy grid line chain, he was an unsurpassable force for beasts of this level.

With the thin energy grid line chain coiled around his body, old man Mo dashed towards the stampede with the power of the energy grids rumbling around. Even though he killed a large amount of them with a single strike, it was nothing more than a small dent in their massive numbers.

The lesser celestial full cultivation leader within the stampede roared in anger as it engaged old man Mo in a massive cutthroat battle.

Hiding in the distance, all these vagrant martial artists were extremely excited at this development as well.

“Old bro Mo is fit as a bull even at his age! Great sword Wang Wu is impressed!”

“Holy shit! That Twin Dragon’s Ball Play skill of old bro is as grand as it can get!”

“What bullshit are you guys even spouting!? I, Spear specialist, Zhao Xiaoliu, have used the spear for over 20 years. The moment old bro struck, I saw that level of his skill! It’s a state whereby he could even easily summon a spear out of just the spirit of the spear in his heart! Impressive. Impressive indeed…!”

And just as old man Mo was engaged in the battle with the lesser celestial beast, everything changed.

“Not good, I’ve been tricked! This isn’t a lesser celestial full cultivation beast!” Stimulated by the battle, old man Mo suddenly realized the massive growth in the beast to his dismay.

BAM!

With a single swipe, the beast sent old man Mo flying towards the dynasty’s walls.

“It’s over…it’s over…!” Managing to regain his composure, old man Mo spat out an entire mouthful of fresh blood as he exclaimed. He had wanted to put on a good show in front of everyone. But to think that the beast wasn’t a lesser celestial full cultivation!

By now, an air of dread encompassed everyone within the Long Yuan dynasty.

Chapter 318: Turned To Dust With A Single Finger

p>”Holy f*ck, what a despicable beast!” Lin Fan stared at the beast in the distance speechlessly.

Using his system to check it out previously, it was evidently a lesser celestial full cultivation beast! But to think that his cultivation base would explode up instantaneously.

Lin Fan knew that there was no way the system could be wrong. Therefore, this beast must have been hiding something one way or another!

The beast in the distance tilted its head up into the skies and roared. Using both of its claws, it pierced into its own body and ripped it apart, tearing its fur into twp.

GRAWH!

The skies changed color as a beam of light shone down from the Heavens, encompassing the beast within it as its aura rocketed still.

Greater celestial lower level.

Greater celestial middle level.

…

Greater celestial full cultivation.

Within the void, 16 energy grid line chains coiled with one another, raining storm and lightning down where the beast was. At the same time, a gigantic void was ripped apart above the beast.

Humanoid beast?

Lin Fan looked at the scene with a fixated gaze. This was the 2nd humanoid beast he had seen so far. Behind it were four pairs of flaming wings. Boasting a height of a few thousand feet, he stood upright and mighty within the beasts. With an intimidating aura, his presence caused everyone to shiver.

‘ROAR…!!!’

The humanoid beast roared into the skies once more. Its razor-sharp teeth looked ready to tear through any piece of the void. A pitch black beam was sucking in energy repeatedly within the mouth of the beast.

“Shit. It’s over! That aura is something of a greater celestial full cultivation state!” Old man Mo screamed out in a frenzy. Disregarding everything else, he wanted to escape out of this place through the void immediately.

But something happened that caused his blood to curl.

The void he opened up had been sealed up.

“I-impossible! I can’t just die here…!’ Old man Mo was panicking right now. He had not expected this beast to be this strong! There was simply no room for resistance!

As for the vagrant martial artists hiding nearby, they were completed confounded.

“Old bro is going to die!”

“This beast stampede has already reached a state of invincibility! No one is going to be able to stop this! The humanoid beast’s aura is simply too scary! Look at that black mass of energy that’s gathering within its mouth! That looks absolutely destructive!”

“Holy shit! You guys are still going to discuss? How about thinking of a way to get out of this place! I think we’re also in the vicinity of the blast radius. At this rate, the Long Yuan dynasty is not the only thing that’s perishing today! We’re gonna die here too!”

“HA! That beast has already sealed this entire place up! Look at the screen! There’s no way we’re going to be able to escape!”

“Boo hoo! Great sword Wang Wu doesn’t want to die yet! I have yet to lose my virginity!”

“Even though Xiao Liu’s specialty is in spears, I’ve yet to spear through a black hole to experience that epitome of pleasure in the human world! I don’t want to die yet!”

…

Lin Fan looked at the beast. 16 energy grid line chains on a single beast… This beast could practically be unstoppable in the entire Dongling Continent!

But why had he not heard of such an existence before in his life? This is strange indeed. Definitely strange.

Lin Fan was determined to capture this beast alive for a thorough interrogation.

Old man Mo was seated in a crippled position with a look of despair on his face, nowhere befitting of a greater celestial being’s demeanor. He recalled back to the arduous amount of training and tribulations he had been through to finally achieve the state of a greater celestial at the age of 100.

But now, everything was about to vanish into the air. He would disappear without a single trace left in this world under this beast stampede.

Princess Long Yuan stood rooted where she was, stoned as well. In her eyes reflected the massive number of beasts in the stampede, as those flaming wings of the beast surged with lava flames.

The 16 energy grid line chains brought forth a devastating aura, causing one to feel suffocated as it gushed down like a tidal wave.

“KID, DO YOU REGRET IT NOW? WE’RE ALL DOOMED!” Screaming at Lin Fan, old man Mo was filled with indignance towards this world.

“What doomed and what not? Princess Long Yuan, I told you. Not a single soldier shall come to harm. All I seek for compensation is that thing on your waist.” Lin Fan replied casually.

Princess Long Yuan gave out a cold laughter. Taking the token off her waist, she tossed it over to Lin Fan.

“Ha. This thing? So what if you take it now? None of us are getting out of here alive anyways.”

Receiving the token, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a grin as he tossed it into his storage. That made two now.

The emperor of Long Yuan dynasty had already lost before this even began. His sword of the emperor was lying on the ground beside him, fallen from his hand as he had lost all will to fight.

In the face of absolute power, resistance was futile.

A great dynasty hundred years in the making… To think that it was going to fall in the face of a beast stampede. He was filled with resentment. But there was nothing he could do about it.

GRAWH!

With a final roar, the humanoid beast fired the ball of dark energy he had been gathering in his mouth towards Long Yuan dynasty, storming everything in its way.

Wherever it passed, the earth was ripped up as only chaos laid in its wake.

“WE’RE DEAD…!”

Everyone gave up on defending as they closed their eyes shut in despair. Why should they bother wasting any more energy in the face of certain death?

The dark light encompassed everything as it grew ever larger in everyone’s face. One could even see the waves of pandemonium that was approaching from the ball.

“You know, looking down on people may bring slaps across your own faces at certain times?”

Just as everyone was in a state of absolute despondency, they heard Lin Fan’s voice.

Everyone chuckled out within their hearts. They did not know why, but they hoped that this man could retain this cheery demeanor even through his oncoming death.

“So what if it’s a greater celestial full cultivation beast? So what if it has 16 energy grid line chains? In my eyes, it’s still just a mere beast.” Lin Fan stood calmly above the city walls, waiting for the quickly arriving energy ball.

“HAHA! Kid, kid, kid. This old man here salutes you indeed. To think that you can still maintain that attitude in the face of death. I’ll admit that I’m inferior to you in that regards.” Old man Mo laughed out in irony.

“Old man, this is not an attitude. This is a fact. In the face of something stronger than itself, everything will disappear into dust. Just as how you guys look at it as something strong. In reverse, I see that thing as nothing.” Lin Fan turned around and smiled gently.

Looking at Lin Fan’s smile, old man Mo’s heart skipped a beat as well.

“Princess Long Yuan, even though you’re pretty beautiful indeed, but you have personality issues with a bad temper. You would do well to improve on that aspect of yourself in the future.” Lin Fan gently raised his right hand.

“You…!” The moment the princess heard these words, she was burning with rage. But she laughed mockingly soon after. After all, they were all going to be dead soon. Why should she be bothered with what this man says?

‘Ding…!’

Just then, a crisp, clean sound permeated the entire dynasty.

Old man Mo, Princess Long Yuan and everyone else opened their eyes wide in shock, unable to believe the scene before them.

“How could this be…!” Looking at the sight before him, old man Mo’s goosebumps raised throughout his body.

Princess Long Yuan found herself stumbling, struggling to stand still as well from the shock of it all.

What did they see exactly?

To think that this person whom they had been looking down on…he had stopped the entire energy mass with just a single lift of his finger!

And by the looks of it, it was really nothing much to him!

The energy ball had destroyed everything in its path all the way here. But under Lin Fan’s finger, it could not even move a single inch forward.

“How about now?” Lin Fan asked calmly.

Looking at Lin Fan, old man Mo suddenly yelled out into the skies.

“P-powerful man…!”

“Are you finally satisfied?” Lin Fan laughed and asked. This old man Mo was an interesting old man indeed.

“Y-yes…!”

‘Do you want to live?’

“Yes! I’m dreaming of it right now!”

“Well, let me hear something nice then.”

“Powerful man! You’re the man that this old man has already been dreaming of in his sweet dreams!” Tears flowed out of old man Mo’s face as he screamed without any restraint.

PHEWWWW!

With a gentle flick of his finger, Lin Fan sent the energy ball flying back towards the beast stampede at a much faster speed than it arrived with.

Looking at the rebounded energy ball, the humanoid beast with 16 energy grid line chains opened its eyes wide in shock as well.

But before it could even react, it was swallowed whole by its own energy ball…

Chapter 319: Too Damn Bloody Strong!

p>”Fck…! Fck…! What the fck was that…?!?” Far in the distance, one of the vagrant martial artists was viewing the scene unfold with a pair of binoculars. He was totally dumbfounded.

“What are you talking about, Wang Wu! Let me see!”

“That’s right, Wang Wu! Hurry up! The rest of us are seeing nothing!”

…

“Shut up! I’m not done here just yet! It was too damn close! I thought that the Long Yuan dynasty was going to be extinguished right there! But can you guys guess what happened?!?” Wang Wu, the great sword wielder, had yet to recover fully from the shock.

“What happened! Hurry up and tell us!”

“That’s right! Don’t beat around the bush. What happened?”

Wang Wu took a deep breath and continued in disbelief, “J-just now…! You know that lad we made fun of? H-he fcking used a single finger to repel the entire energy ball!”

“Fck! For real? Don’t bullshit us man, Wang Wu!”

“That’s right! How can that be?”

Naturally, none of them believed him at all. This was akin to saying the entire world had turned upside down. If he had said something like old bro being lively as a dragon even at his age and letting out an extraordinary burst, they would have still believed him. But to say something like that lad repelling the entire ball of energy with just his finger? This was impossible in their eyes.

“Wang Wu, Xiao Liu here has 20 years in the expertise of the spear. I’ve seen all sorts of things around the world. But what you just said, I still doubt it. Pass me the binoculars to see for myself!”

“Get lost! Whether or not you believe it is up to you. As long as I believe in it!” Wang Wu waved his hand off dismissively. Gotta be shitting him! This was such an exciting show. There was no way he wasn’t watching this all the way until the end. He’d definitely regret it!

“Fck! This guy wants to enjoy the entire show on his own!”

“Hey, fck! Fck! What are you guys doing?”

“Stop snatching! This is mine! Hey! Don’t go overboard. Otherwise, you can’t blame me for taking out my great sword on you guys! Okay fck all of you guys. Fine. Since I’m going to die anyways. I’ll just head over there to watch it live for myself!”

…

Old man Mo, the princess, and everyone else were all beyond stupefied. The view before them was bedazzling. The strong gust of wind was like a thousand slaps across their very faces.

The princess was especially petrified. She had looked down on this man all the while, and the fact right now stung her face like literal tight slaps.

“P-powerful man…! Is that thing dead?” Old man Mo asked while lying on the ground, looking extremely fatigued and pathetic right now.

“No.” Lin Fan replied calmly.

“Ah…!” The moment old man Mo heard that, he was extremely worried. To think that this wasn’t enough to kill that thing! At the same time, old man Mo placed every single last bit of hope he had remaining onto Lin Fan.

‘RAWRGHHHH!!!’

The roar penetrated through the skies.

The beast was entirely riled. To think that there was someone within the dynasty who could reflect its attack and leave it in such a laughable state?!

After the light of the explosion dispersed, everyone could see that half of the humanoid beast’s body had been eaten up by the blast. All the beasts in miles of its vicinity had disappeared as well.

Lin Fan ignored the notifications of the system entirely.

These mediocre experience points were not worthy of him chasing after. As for their essence blood, they stood no chance of even surviving through that energy blast.

But, Lin Fan did not even feel regret about it. Now that his Blood Sea was at the 6th level, all this essence blood of common beasts did not give him that much of a booster anymore. Hence, he was pretty alright making do with not having them.

The humanoid beast was still roaring. A massive surge of energy reverberated through the skies. At the same time, that mess of an injured body was recovering rapidly as well.

By nature, beasts were much stronger than the entire race of mankind. Be it fighting strength or physical body strength, there was no way humans could match up the beasts.

Just this beast alone would be impossible for even Glory Sect and Jiuxiao Sect’s Grandmasters to kill with their forces combined. In fact, if they were careless, they may even get wiped entirely by this beast.

A beast with 16 energy grid line chains was not something any human of the same level could hope to deal with.

Boundless hatred was burning in the eyes of the humanoid beast. With a glaring light glowing in its eyes, all 4 flaming wings flapped furiously.

‘RAWR…!’

This roar was filled with fury as that dense stampede of beasts started rushing over upon that call, bent on destroying Long Yuan dynasty.

“Every single general, listen up! Defend the city gates with your lives! Do not let the beasts get through!” Long Yuan emperor gave down the orders. His heart was filled with immeasurable hope right now as well.

He had not expected such a powerful man to have come forward to assist for this beast stampede. Seemed like they had hope in defending against this after all.

But looking at the large army of beasts rushing towards them, even if they managed to defend this, they would definitely have to pay a costly number of casualties for it.

But as long as they dynasty survived, casualties were unavoidable.

Princess Long Yuan looked at Lin Fan with extremely shameful eyes. She had not expected that the truly powerful man was the person she had looked down on at the start!

“Don’t bother defending. I’ve made a deal with the princess. There shall be no casualties from your side. Even though they may have a large number of beasts, this wouldn’t change anything.” Looking at the dense army of beasts, Lin Fan revealed a smile of confidence.

Long Yuan emperor was completely stumped by now. To think that this powerful man would refer to this dense army of beasts before him as though he completely disregarded their existence entirely.

The emperor wanted to implore Lin Fan to take down the wave that was coming through. But just as the words came to his throat, he swallowed them down again in shock.

Because at this moment, the young man’s aura had changed entirely.

Old man Mo could feel the aura of the powerful man surging rapidly. It was as though a sword was being unsheathed and was cutting through the shells of their bodies right now.

White robes, with his long hair swaying in the wind gently.

Lin Fan’s aura gradually turned stronger.

In the eyes of the masses, his image was too mighty.

He floated up gently into the skies.

‘Firmament Sword’

‘Benevolence Sword’

…

This highest level of the Way of the Sword erupted out from him as both Sword Wills rushed out and floated gently behind his back.

“My god…! What a strong Sword Will! Just a look over and I can feel my eyes being pierced!” Old man Mo raised his head and looked over while squinting his eyes. This Sword Will was simply too strong, that even a greater celestial like him was finding it hard to withstand it.

Princess Long Yuan could not even look in the direction of it. Those voluptuous bosoms of hers were bouncing up and down violently due to excitement over the aura.

‘Faceless Sky Demon.’

The 6-armed and 3-headed demon appeared behind him.

Recently, Lin Fan had discovered a brand new ability for this mental skill.

‘Know no bounds and be bounded by no laws!’

‘Divide!’

And just like that, the Faceless Sky Demon behind Lin Fan began splitting into 2.

2 to 4.

Slowly, the entire skies were filled with Faceless Sky Demons.

This was the same trick that the Eternal Donger had used. Lin Fan could not help but praise its impressiveness.

Old man Mo was losing his mind right now. Just what sort of skill was this? How could it be so bloody…sick?

And something sicker was about to happen.

The two different Sword Wills began to divide out as well. One after another, the skies were filled with longswords crafted from Lin Fan’s Sword Will.

“How…how could this be? How could such a domineering Sword Will be emanating from a single person…?” Old man Mo could not believe everything that was happening right now.

He had thought that he was extremely powerful the moment he had reached a greater celestial state.

But compared to the man before him, he was nothing.

“Old man Mo, which sect is this man from?” The emperor asked in shock.

“No idea…no idea!” Old man Mo shook his head furiously.

Rushing towards the Long Yuan dynasty, those vagrant martial artists lost their footing and sat on the ground with their jaws wide open as they witnessed the sight before them.

Everything that was happening right now was simply too scary!

“I had intended to kill all of you with a single palm strike. But forget it, your essence blood should serve a purpose as well.” Lin Fan commented casually.

But this casual remark had made its way to old man Mo’s ears.

“URGH…!”

He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood from his old body.

Destroy all of them with a single palm strike?!?

Holy fck…!

“Destroy…” Lin Fan flicked his robes as the skies of Faceless Sky Demons and Sword Wills rocketed down below.

Just then, the humanoid beast froze up as well. It could feel a gaze locking on to it.

Chapter 320: Perfection Seeking Lin Fan

p>The humanoid beast’s anger was boundless right now. He was considered a champion among the beasts. This expedition to destroy this so-called dynasty should have been something he could do with a sweep of his hand. He wanted to return to the Sealed Grounds in glory, stained with human blood up to his arms. But to think that he was being stopped by a mere human right now?

And the most intolerable thing was the fact that this bloody human was looking at him with a smile on his face. It was a smile so creepy that the beast could feel his own anus tightening up.

Old man Mo had gone through a series of emotions. From shock to breakdown, and now back to shock once more. This triple blow to his mental self was enough to carve a heart so strong he should no longer by fazed by anything in the future.

But what in the hell was this scene before him once again?!?

Even if this powerful man were extremely mighty, he should really consider what was happening before his eyes! His Sword Will was running out, but the beasts continued to swarm towards the dynasty.

The humanoid beast did not move at all. Those flaming eyes just glared at his own army of beasts as his malevolent face let out a smile.

It was as though he was taunting Lin Fan, ‘Your Sword Will and Faceless Sky Demons are going to be overrun by my beasts soon.’

On the city walls, Chicky was seated with his backside straight down. Flapping his wings, he cried out loudly. Towards the situation with the stampede, he wasn’t bothered in the slightest.

Princess Long Yuan’s face let out a look of worry as she said, “Father, please have the soldiers ready to stand guard! The stampede is approaching our gates!”

Towards the man floating in the skies, she no longer had any words she could say to him.

To think that the beast stampede would be filled with dead bodies after just one move from him. This was power that she had never seen before in her life.

“Old bro, how’s the battle going!” Just then, the vagrant martial artists rushed over from a distance and asked in excitement.

“Wow! The powerful man’s back view is really mighty indeed!” Xiao Liu looked up at Lin Fan in the skies and could not help but exclaim out in praise.

Old man Mo sobered back up as he gripped Xiao Liu’s wrist tightly, “You guys came in the nick of time! The void around here has been sealed up, and no one is able to escape! The powerful man can deal with the humanoid beast, but we have to defend against the oncoming beast stampede as well!”

Looking at the massive wave of beasts, Wang Wu gulped and replied, “O-old bro! Do you think we can hold against that?”

“Hmph, Wang Wu, we must hold on even if we cannot hold on any longer! Xiao Liu here shall shoot my spear out of the water and kill until I become like a god!” Xiao Liu waved his spear around causing some ripples in the air, with a look of confidence on his face.

“More like you become a ghost.”

“Trust me. We’ve had a deal, remember? If I ever marry and get a wife, I’ll retreat back into the woods to live, and we’ll be neighbors!” Xiao Liu was filled with dreams and hopes towards his future. How could he die here?

Everyone was filled to the brim with confidence right now. Now that the humanoid beast was going to be handled by the powerful man, they should have a chance against the rest of the beasts.

However, everyone knew in their hearts as well that this would definitely go with some casualties.

Old man Mo slowly regained his breathing as he was recovering from his previous wounds. Thankfully, the blow from the beast wasn’t too tough. Otherwise, he would have turned into dust with just that single blow.

“Powerful man, the beast stampede has arrived. Please leave it to us.” Old man Mo said after maintaining his silence for a moment. It had been a long time since he had worked together with anyone else in a party.

At this, old man Mo could not help but reminisce back to his youth.

That was a…

Upon hearing old man Mo’s voice, Lin Fan who was floating in the skies felt somewhat awkward.

To think that he had just performed a wonderful act just now, but something as such would crop up.

He had underestimated the number of beasts in the stampede, resulting in his Sword Will and Faceless Sky Demons lacking in number.

To a perfectionist of the art of bullshit, this mistake was extremely intolerable.

Even at this point where the issue had already cropped up, he must work hard at solving the matter!

Sobering up, old man Mo began to command the people present. “Wang Wu, you head there to assist the princess. Xiao Liu, bring some people along with you towards the soldiers.”

“What about you, old bro?”

“As the highest cultivation base here, this old man shall fight alone. Remember, even though the powerful man is extremely powerful, these beasts are far from ordinary. We must do our best to not let the powerful man be distracted!” Old man Mo replied.

“Sure, old bro! Once we tide through this, I’ll treat everyone here to drinks!”

“Yes! To have the honor of fighting together with this powerful man shall make it a tale for the ages!” Old man Mo replied with vigor, as though he had turned younger by dozens of years.

Even if he were to brag about it, this would make a great topic in the future.

Floating in the skies, Lin Fan could feel his limelight being swallowed away by these guys. He looked at the oncoming beast stampede with extreme displeasure. He had wanted to leave their bodies for the reaping. But fine. Since they did not cherish it, he would then just make them disappear entirely.

“Brothers…let’s go…!” Just as old man Mo was about to give them a pep talk, a voice rang through his ears.

“Hmph, I had intended to let you guys die with a whole body at first. Since you guys do not know how to cherish the chance I gave you. Then you can all turn into dust!” Lin Fan was riled as he raised his palm.

Suddenly, the skies changed, as there was a gigantic suffocating aura in the air.

‘Destroy…’

BOOM!

A gargantuan palm strike descended down from the skies, ripping the void entirely apart. Due to its colossal size, the entire skies were covered momentarily. However, even that moment was stuck in everyone’s minds.

BOOM!

The ground vibrated as the entire Long Yuan dynasty shook. In fact, it wasn’t just Long Yuan dynasty, it felt as though the whole world was in a tremor right now.

Covering hundreds of miles in that single palm strike, everyone from the Long Yuan dynasty was scared silly.

Driven and raring to go, old man Mo was confounded by the sight of that palm strike. He gripped onto the railings by the walls as his body shivered under the intimidating aura. The image in his eyes was burnt straight into his mind.

“Hmph…all of you deserve it.” Lin Fan swept his robes, hands behind his back.

These people were not the only ones trembling. The humanoid beast started to shiver at the sight of this as well. Those flames burning in his pupils bounced up and down rapidly.

Suddenly, he broke into a run. Realizing this, Lin Fan shouted out.

“Chicky! Take him down!” Lin Fan gave chase towards the dense forest immediately.

‘CUCKOO!’

Chicky leaped up from the city walls and jumped into the skies. Suddenly, a red light erupted from Chicky as a pair of glowing red wings glided across the skies, following his master.

…

“I…I…” Old man Mo did not even know where to begin. Especially after witnessing Chicky’s transformation, he collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud.

Wielding his spear, Xiao Liu stood rooted where he was, his jaw dropping down.

Great sword wielder Wang Wu had pulled out his great sword in a striking pose ready to strike. But at this moment, he was just frozen solid in that silly pose.

Princess Long Yuan and the emperor were equally still.

After a long time…

“Can anyone tell me…what just happened?” Old man Mo spoke first, his mind in an entire whirl.

“And that chicken…. was that really a chicken?!?”

…

“Old bro, the powerful man seemed to have merely raised his hand before slapping down…” Xiao Liu started.

“After that slap…the entire Earth quaked.” Wang Wu continued.

“After the earthquake…the beast stampede disappeared…” Xiao Liu carried on.

…

Everyone was slowly recovering from their shock. One by one, their eyeballs popped out in disbelief.

“HOLY F*CK…!”

“Powerful man…all I wanted to do was to fight alongside you! Why wouldn’t you even give me that chance…?” Old man Mo screamed out like a vengeful widow, looking at that disappearing back view of Lin Fan in sorrow.

Chapter 321: The Life of The Escaping Flame Overlord With No Balls

p>’Cucuckoo!’ Chicky streaked in a beam of red light and landed back on Lin Fan’s shoulders, glaring at the humanoid beast that was running away right now.

Lin Fan left a rainbow light trail behind him as he chased after the humanoid beast. He wanted to see just how this humanoid beast was going to leave this place.

Against the previous humanoid beast, Lin Fan did not manage to give chase and enter that void of darkness. The main reason was because he was too weak back then. Therefore, it would have been too dangerous to do that.

But now that he met another humanoid beast, he was definitely not going to let this one off that easily. Furthermore, the looks and fighting strength of this current one were way stronger than the previous one back then.

A single step of the humanoid beast got it a few thousand feet into the distance. This was his maximum speed, but he still couldn’t shake off that detestable human behind him.

He was extremely pissed off right now. He was the Overlord of the Flames. Back in his Sealed Grounds, he was a superior being with no one above him. To think that he would be chased by some puny human. This was extremely intolerable!

Frantically running away, the Flame Overlord turned around to look behind him. The human was chasing him with reasonable ease! This fact shocked him a little.

His mind started tinkering with ideas as well.

He had to think of a way to get rid of this human!

The Flame Overlord had never once in his life thought of an impractical problem such as a human being chasing after him for his life.

He was ordered to lead this beast stampede by That Man. To think that the entire army of beasts would be vanquished by this human as well. How utterly horrifying!

“You piece of big rock in front! Stop running! I’ve got something I wanna say!” Following at the back, Lin Fan realized that this beast seemed to have a pretty high intellect. He was insisting on shaking off Lin Fan, totally unlike the previous humanoid beast who was bent on fighting him to the death.

‘ROAR!’ The Flame Overlord screamed in a frenzy as all 4 flaming wings shuddered momentarily. Energy grid line chains descended from the sky like whips, and lashed out towards Lin Fan.

Looking at these whips, Lin Fan just kept Chicky within his storage and took them head-on, with no intention of dodging them at all.

The Flame Overlord was still a greater celestial full cultivation existence with 16 energy grid line chains. Hence, the moment these whips lashed out, Heaven and Earth trembled under the tremendous pressure.

Looking at how the human did not even bother to dodge, the Flame Overlord’s malevolent eyes twinkled. He was going to test out just how far this human could go.

Coiling together to form a single gigantic whip, the 16 energy grid line chains pierced through every single layer of void and brought with it a massive force towards Lin Fan.

PSCHHHHH!

As the whip landed on Lin Fan’s body, a potent force leeched at Lin Fan’s body.

‘Ding…’Eternal Immortality’ experience points +10,000,000’

In its frantic escape, the Flame Overlord was overwhelmed with joy when he saw how Lin Fan’s body turned into a mess of meat and blood the moment the whip hit at him.

Seemed like this human was only this strong. There might even be a chance to kill him after all!

Just as the celebrating Flame Overlord was about to stop in his tracks to turn around and fight Lin Fan, he realized that the mess of blood and meat had now recovered entirely.

How could this be…?!?

Undergoing yet another round of shock, the beast shivered and hastened once more.

Lin Fan was the one in joy right now. Seemed like Blood Sea was indeed a bloody sick skill once it was leveled up.

If not for the fact that the 6th level of Blood Sea allowed him to recover from just appendages, he might not have dared to receive the whip head on.

Even though the whip had dealt significant damage to his body, he was able to recover from it just nice with the booster of Blood Sea and the lifeforce from the Mythical Parasol Tree.

“Your whip is bloody painful! But seems like that’s all you can manage eh? A single whip on Yours Truly.” Lin Fan hollered as he continued giving chase.

The Flame Overlord was panicking right now. Just what the hell was happening? Why was this man’s recovery speed so bloody fast? That was even faster than a beast!

But the Flame Overlord also realized that this human’s speed had decreased after that whip landed on him.

With that, the menacing mouth of the Flame Overlord curled into an evil smile.

Even though Lin Fan could only see the back view of this Flame Overlord, he guessed that the latter must be secretly excited right now. After all, he was sure that the beast must have noticed his purposeful act of slowing down his own speed.

If he truly wanted to escape, he wouldn’t be stopping right here now.

Indeed, just as Lin Fan was contemplating about it, the Flame Overlord gathered his energy grid line chains once more. The whip was filled with an immeasurable aura and force. Even if a greater celestial full cultivation being were to receive the whip, he would have been smacked to dust if his physical body state were strong enough.

PSCHHHH!

Once again, the whip lashed out from thin air.

‘Ding…‘Eternal Immortality’ experience points +10,000,000’

“Ahhhh…!”

As the whip landed, Lin Fan’s body was torn once again. The cut was so deep that even his bones beneath could be seen. And just as he recovered from it, Lin Fan made sure to drop his speed momentarily at the same time.

Observing the man behind him, the Flame Overlord was forming his own ideas.

At first, he had intended to injure this man to a certain extent before fighting him. But thinking back on that devastating palm strike from the Heavens, he shook off the thought immediately.

He wasn’t confident enough to think that he could survive that destructive palm strike.

PSCHHHHHH!

And just like that, the man and beast passed through the dense forest into a desert.

At the same time, the Flame Overlord would pace the whipping from time to time to slow down Lin Fan’s speed. Ever since he had evolved to ‘Eternal Immortality’ from ‘Eternal Demon Body’, Lin Fan rarely had a chance to allow it to level up.

Now that the opportunity had presented itself, Lin Fan would not mind it.

Regarding the Heaven and Earth Smelt’s way of leveling up, Lin Fan had considered it as well. But the mental torment was simply unbearable.

It wasn’t something mere mortals could endure.

PSCHHHHHHH!

‘Ding…congratulations on leveling up Eternal Immortality.’

‘Ding…Eternal Immortality Level 2.’

‘Ding…Experience points (0/300,000,000)

‘Ding…Physical Body State: Greater celestial middle level.’

Lin Fan was leaping with joy in his heart right now. This way of effortless leveling up was the best!

The day and the night exchanged places…

The Flame Overlord was on the brink of breaking down. He could not figure out for the life of him why this human was regenerating at such an insane speed.

An entire night passed…

This human had chased him throughout the night.

He was a mighty overlord amongst the beasts, with an immense amount of stamina. Even with this entire night of running and whipping the man, he wasn’t tired in the least bit. But why the hell wasn’t the human chasing behind him tired at all either?!?

In fact, the man seemed to be getting more and more energetic. No…The beast assured himself that he must be overthinking things. How could any man be so perverted?!?

Lin Fan’s gaze was glimmering brightly. This flaming beast was a good piece of training material indeed. But what displeased Lin Fan was the fact that his speed of whipping was starting to get slower. In fact, he would only whip once every two hours now.

Lin Fan felt that it was time to exert some pressure on this beast now.

A single level of ‘Eternal Immortality’ was far from enough for Lin Fan.

Chapter 322: This Is A Tragic Story

p>Ancient Battlefield…

A cold breeze blew across the entire place.

The Ancient Battlefield was a battlefield that had existed in Dongling Continent since time immemorial. The place was vast and wide, filled with a solemn and grim aura.

Two men were standing opposite to one another at both sides of the battlefield. The atmosphere was extremely tense, as if a fight could break out at a moment’s notice.

“Old dog Song! Your sect’s disciples have killed my sect’s inner sect disciples! The reason I asked you out is to settle this once and for all!” On one of the slopes, an old man stood there with his aura boundless like a flowing river.

“Hmph, old dog Yang, your disciples have been rude to me. So what if my disciples killed them? They had it coming!”

“Fine. We shall have a death bout today then!”

These two were Grandmasters of small sects respectively. Over some squabbles of their disciples, their disgruntled feelings of one another rose up till the deathmatch today.

“All disciples listen up!”

“All disciples listen up!”

“Charge…!”

BOOM!

Just as both sides were ready to rush at each other’s throats, the ground shook as a horrifying aura spread across from the distance.

“Hey guys, look! What’s that!”

Looking over, everyone’s faces turned pale as a sheet. A gigantic body was rushing towards them.

“Old dog Song, how dare you look for external help?”

“Old dog Yang, how dare you look for external help?”

Both Grandmasters lashed out at one another immediately. However, their faces changed as they looked over. The entire skies had changed color altogether. The void was rumbling, with the energy grid line chains coiling with one another, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

“That’s a sinister beast which has gathered 16 energy grid line chains!” Both of them were dumbfounded as they looked over.

The both of them were merely greater celestial middle-level beings with 2 energy grid line chains each. If they were to clash with the beast, both of them would disappear immediately like ants being squashed.

The 2 of them glanced at one another before waving their hands and beckoning, “Hurry up and hide!”

Bam! Bam!

The earth was trembling as the beast approached nearer and nearer. The both of them glanced at one another once more, ‘We’re screwed…’

Feeling the aura, the disciples of both sects curled themselves up into balls on the ground, shivering in fear. In fact, some of them were so scared that their feet were frozen solid, and they couldn’t even move a single inch.

The skies darkened as the gigantic feet of the beast hovered right above them, as though it was preparing to crush them into nothingness.

With the grim reaper waiting for them, all of them could only shut their eyes tightly, awaiting the arrival of death.

It was at this moment that they knew that they had fcked up. Why did they have to come here for a deathmatch for no reason at all? If they hadn’t gotten into an argument, they wouldn’t be meeting with this beast right now!

“You better leap over! Yours Truly swears that I’ll rip your tendons out if you squash them to death!”

Just as the masses had lost every single bit of hope, a voice rang in their ears. But to them, these words were nothing more than a joke. Why would a beast of that caliber obey such a command from anyone?

And it was at this moment that they knew, they fcked up again.

The beast took into a leap and skipped them over indeed.

Everyone stayed where they were with their jaws agape, in total disbelief of what just happened.

And just then, they saw a shadow following closely behind the beast.

And what was even more incredible?

This man was holding on to a whip and whipping the beast’s backside!!!

Grandmaster Song and Grandmaster Yang’s eyeballs were popping so far out of their sockets right now that they could almost fall off. How could a beast with 16 energy grid line chains be whipped by someone from the back?!?

“What are you guys still doing here? Hurry up and get the hell lost!” After a single crack of his whip, Lin Fan looked down at these people and continued to give chase.

Looking at one another, Grandmaster Song and Yang broke out in cold sweat and tumbled down onto the ground, lying there in exasperation.

Scary…too scary!

Just who in the world was that? To think that a terrifying beast with 16 energy grid line chains was scared away by him!

This…this…!

…

Lin Fan was totally enraged right now. This Flame Overlord was just a big pssy! He had intended to level up using this fella. But to think that he would only be bothered about running away!

Out of rage, Lin Fan decided to take out his whip of love and chase after this beast in reverse. He hoped that this would serve as motivation for the Flame Overlord to turn around and whip him back.

But in fact, the Flame Overlord was just crying internally right now. Just where the hell did this human come from? How was he even scarier than these beasts?!?

It had been 2 days and 2 nights since this began!

What sort of nonsense was this for a Sealed Ground Overlord such as himself to be chased by a human for 2 days and 2 nights without even any room for retaliation?

As for the energy grid line whip, the Flame Overlord had truly tried his best. Even though he was a beast, he was also feeling fatigued after these past 2 days of whipping.

When he saw a bunch of humans just now, he truly wanted to stomp them to death to make himself feel better. But upon hearing the voice of the man chasing him, he was shocked out of his wits, and decided to leap past them eventually.

“Piece of trash! How dare you slack off after whipping me for just a single night! You wanna be lazy? Let Yours Truly tell you… No way!” Lin Fan scolded as he whipped the beast from behind.

The Flame Overlord was truly in tears now. To think that he would end up having such a horrifying experience with his first time leading a beast stampede for an extermination expedition.

His only thought right now was to return to where he was and never come back here ever again.

Lin Fan was speechless to the max. His Eternal Immortality had only reached level 4, quite a distance from what he intended for it to be. How could the beast stop now?

…

Yet another day passed…

The Flame Overlord’s speed was getting slower and slower. Eventually, he could run no longer and came to a stop.

Looking at the Flame Overlord coming to a stop, Lin Fan stopped too, glaring at it from midair.

The gigantic body of the Flame Overlord was shaking tremendously. Raising his massive arm, his palm signaled for a stop in a motion of surrendering. He then bent over, arms on his knees and breathing heavily, huffing and puffing.

Those malevolent eyes no longer had their intimidating look. In its place was a look begging for mercy.

“I truly can’t run no more. What do you want?” Suddenly, the Flame Overlord spoke.

“You speak human language?!?” Lin Fan was taken aback. What the fck? He had not expected this!

“Yes, I do. In fact, I can even turn into human form.” The Flame Overlord was terrified of this human to the core of his being.

The moment Lin Fan heard that, he was even more shocked. A beast that could turn into human form?!? But why was it written in the records back in the sect that beasts did not speak the human language then?

“Transform for me to see then.” Lin Fan said in curiosity.

The Flame Overlord looked at Lin Fan. With a bright glow, he gradually shrunk smaller.

“Holy…!” The moment Lin Fan saw what the Flame Overlord had turned into, he could not hold back his bewilderment.

To think that that massive being would turn into a small kid! And a plump and round one at that! Other than the 4 flaming wings behind it’s back, there was exactly no difference between it and any other human beings.

“How could you beasts know how to transform into human form?” It was as if Lin Fan had discovered an entirely new world.

Even though the heart of this Flame Overlord transformed child was feeling extremely distasteful of that comment, he did not reveal that feeling.

“My mother was a human and my father a beast. That’s why I can transform into human form. As for the rest of the beasts, I do not know if they can.”

Even though the Flame Overlord was replying Lin Fan’s questions truthfully, the only thought on his mind was how to escape later on.

“How old are you?”

“600 years old.”

PSSSSSCH!

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s whip cracked beside the Flame Overlord, “You’re thinking of how to run, right?”

“N-no! Big brother, please tell me what I should do for you to let me go! I’m only a kid!”

“600 years old and you call yourself a kid! Y-you…!”

“To us beasts, we’re only considered one year old for every 100 years! Therefore, I’m only 6 years old right now in terms of human age!” The plump little transformed kid was crying.

“Alright, let me ask you some questions then. You better answer me truthfully. Or else…oh well, you know what’ll happen anyway.” Lin Fan laughed coldly.

Chapter 323: Big Brother, Why Are You Dragging Me Into The Woods?!?

p>One thing Lin Fan could never understand was why the beasts would gather into stampedes and rain down destruction on human civilizations. Perhaps he might finally know about the secret from this Flame Overlord right here.

The Flame Overlord looked at the human before him in absolute fear.

Who in the world would have imagined bumping into a freak of a human with such supernatural regeneration abilities? It was as if he were feeling nothing at all after the chase that took days and nights!

“Big brother, as long as you let me go, I’ll tell you everything you want to know!” The plump face of this kid Flame Overlord was now filled with a look of submission.

Lin Fan looked at him with a look of contempt, “What? To think you’re a beast. Do you not have any backbone? Or, do you mean to tell me that beasts only dare to bully the weak and fear the strong?”

“N-no, big brother! This was taught to me by my mum! She said that if I were to meet a human that I cannot fight against, I should wisen up and obey his words, so that he will find me pitiful and let me go!” The Flame Overlord replied honestly.

Lin Fan could not help but be impressed with his human mother. Just what sort of method did she use to get herself impregnated with a beast’s child? And, what if that beast wasn’t someone who could transform into human form like this one here? Unless…unless…?!?

Lin Fan did not dare to continue down that train of thought. All he could say was that…everyone had different fetishes.

“Your mother is an interesting woman indeed. If I ever get the chance, I would want to know her.’ A woman like her should be worth knowing. After all, the reason why Lin Fan came out to the outside world was to look at all sorts of strange things.

Suddenly, the look of seeking forgiveness from the Flame Overlord turned into sadness with a tinge of vengefulness, “Big brother, I doubt you’ll be able to. Both of my parents are dead.”

Lin Fan looked at the Flame Overlord and said nothing else. He wasn’t foolish enough to trust the words of a beast. He then continued with the important questions.

“Where did you come from? What’s with the beast stampedes? Why are you guys bent on taking down human civilizations?”

“I come from the Beast Spirit World. The beast stampede was instructed to us by That Man. As to why he wants to take down human civilizations? I do not know.”

He truly did not understand why they had to bring ruin to the humankind. After all, the humans and beasts had rarely meddled with one another’s businesses. But That Man was an extremely powerful being, who had already taken control over the entire Beast Spirit World. Whoever defied his orders would have their entire souls sucked out and be left with dried up corpses.

“Tell me every single thing you know. I can promise to let you go.” Lin Fan was deep in his thoughts.

He had thought that something was amiss since the very first beast stampede he encountered.

The beasts were also not creatures with nothing better to do. Why would they attack these civilizations for no reason? No matter the reason, Yours Truly’s detective skills would tear down this mystery one layer after another.

Naturally, the Flame Overlord did not dare to withhold any information, and told every single thing he knew.

The more Lin Fan listened, the tighter his brows frowned.

A mysterious person clad in black robes.

His body size was extremely miniscule compared to the beasts.

But he possessed boundless strength. So much so that no one in the Beast Spirit World could resist him.

Lin Fan knew that there was a natural boundary that existed between the Beast Spirit World and the Xuanhuang World. This meant that neither could enter the other world. But this mysterious person clad in black robes appeared in the Beast Spirit World a few hundred years ago. Using extremely vicious methods, he killed off every single beast who resisted him, and gained total control over the entire Beast Spirit World.

As for the Flame Overlord’s parents? They were part of the resistance.

Few hundred years later, this mysterious man had managed to create a pathway between the 2 worlds, allowing the beasts to be transported over. He had a single goal: the destruction of human civilizations.

“Big brother, can I leave now?” The Flame Overlord asked warily. He had already told everything he knew. There was really nothing else he could say.

Lin Fan sized up the Flame Overlord carefully. A beast with 16 energy grid line chains, even Glory Sect’s Grandmaster may not be able to take it down. If he could train it up and recruit it to Saint Devil Sect…then, this would be yet another great step in the path forward to building up the mighty Saint Devil Sect.

Looking at the sinister look on Lin Fan’s face now, the Flame Overlord shuddered and collapsed onto the ground.

“Big brother! My mother told me that humans are the most trustworthy! You must not lie to me! I’m a half human too!”

Shameless. No backbone. Submissive. Tactful. Mixed breed of human and beast. Great research value.

Not bad. All of these characteristics were extremely fitting for a Saint Devil candidate.

“Since you said that the Beast Spirit World is in bad shape under the rule of the black clad man, how about following me instead? What do you think?” Lin Fan decided to employ some soft tactics first. If this little fatty did not give him face, his whip would then come in real handy.

“I wish, big brother, I wish! But if I do not return, he will kill off all the innocent residents under my care! Big brother, please let me off! I really mean no harm to humans! When I was attacking the city, I only meant to scare them for a little. I’m always friendly towards humans! I believe that friendship is the most important thing…” As if he had already memorized these words, the Flame Overlord spouted them out immediately.

Looking at the fatty before him, Lin Fan was in a dilemma right now. So, should he take in this beast or not?

Looking at the other party falling silent, the Flame Overlord prostrated himself on the ground.

“Tell me how to get to the Beast Spirit World then.”

“You need to break through the barrier between both worlds.”

F*ck! That was as good as saying nothing! To break the barriers between both worlds, one must first have the required power level to do so!

“Any other methods?” Lin Fan asked relentlessly. This Flame Overlord must have been sent here by the black clad man as well.

“I’ve got no idea. There shouldn’t be anything else. But That Man said that he would definitely be able to break over to here completely by 3 years. By then, he would be able to descend here from the Beast Spirit World and rain down chaos on all the humans.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was taken aback immediately.

At most 3 years?!? Didn’t this mean that he could succeed anytime in between now and 3 years later?

“That Man you are talking about… how strong is strong?” Lin Fan had landed himself in the midst of a terrible secret.

“Extremely, extremely strong! My parents along with all the various overlords of the Sealed Grounds were all massacred by him without any single room for resistance.” Thinking back to the past, the Flame Overlord revealed a look of horror.

Lin Fan stood up. He had an idea brewing.

If he hadn’t known about this, he might not have considered it. But now that he did, then things weren’t going to be so simple.

If Lin Fan weren’t the person who was matched against this Flame Overlord, the entire Dongling Continent might have already suffered a great loss.

And if what he said was true…

Then within 3 years…

The entire Dongling Continent. No, in fact, the entire Xuanhuang World might very well be destroyed by then.

Bloody hell! He had to adapt to this really quickly. Thank goodness he was still able to have this warning beforehand. If he were to lose everything he cared for once more, he would have no reason to live any longer.

Lin Fan grabbed the wrist of the plump fatty and dragged him towards the woods.

“Ah…big brother! What are you doing? I’ve already said everything I have to! Why are you still dragging me into the woods!”

“No…big brother! Not there…please…!”

“Ah…!”

And an extremely strange cry rang out across the entire woods…

Chapter 324: Unsatisfied Desires

p>Filled with a flirtatious mood, a deep crying sound rang out from the woods.

“Boohoo…!” The plump and cute Flame Overlord was being strung up on the trees with his clothing in tatters. Those whip marks on his tender body were ever so red.

The rotund little Flame Overlord could no longer feel his own chastity.

No matter how much he struggled and cried out, he could not escape these sinister palms.

Big drops of tears were flowing down from his big, wide eyes. He was an overlord who looked after countless number of residents under him. To think that he would be ravaged by a human. He was suffering within his heart.

He even had thoughts of suicide right now. How was he to stand upright in front of his residents ever again…

Looking at the scars on his plump, white body, he felt like crying once more.

Despite being filled up to brim with shame, he felt a hidden pleasure within his heart. He started to wonder what he would feel if he couldn’t experience this guilty pleasure ever again.

At this moment, Lin Fan was leaning on a tree trunk. He had successfully trained this beast. In fact, the training this time round brought him waves of pleasure himself.

Even though the Flame Overlord was already 600 years old, every single whip on the body of this childlike body still brought to Lin Fan a sense of guilt as well.

Was he turning into a pervert for real?

The moment he felt those feelings, Lin Fan was scared stiff by his own thoughts.

He then shook his head furiously and tossed out those emotions. How could he be someone like that?

If only there were cigarettes right now, Lin Fan could really use one as he was leaning against the tree, just to soothe his fluttering heart.

Indeed, a beast was a beast. Even the willpower of a beast was extremely determined compared to humans.

Lin Fan doubted that even Mie Qiongqi was just half of this Flame Overlord.

He had exerted every single restraint and used up his Ultimate Secret Art 6 entire times before this Flame Overlord finally succumbed.

Suddenly, Lin Fan felt two distinct auras.

“Demon! Take my sword!”

Looking over, Lin Fan caught sight of 2 shadows darting over from the distance. A male and a female, both of them were pericelestial upper levels. Not too shabby.

The male was handsome while the female was beautiful. But why was it that their gazes did not look too friendly?!?

But it didn’t bother Lin Fan. He allowed the 2 of them to chase forth while he flew off to the distance.

Now that he had successfully trained the Flame Overlord, he left some instructions for the latter as well. Once he returned to the Beast Spirit World, he would then follow Lin Fan’s orders.

Even though the Flame Overlord had 16 energy grid line chains, this was still definitely far from enough to deal with the black clad man.

But it didn’t matter. It was always better to have an extra pair of hands.

“Hmph! Thank goodness you escaped quickly, demon! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you spill blood!” The suave young man’s hair was floating with the breeze as his sword gleamed brightly.

“What a pitiful child! To think that he was nearly made a victim by that demon!” Looking at the Flame Overlord strung up on the trees, the beautiful girl who followed along said with a pained look.

“Senior Brother Mu, hurry up and let this child down!”

“Sure, Junior Sister.” With a swing of his sword, he cut down the ropes and caught the falling Flame Overlord.

“Take a look at the scars on his body, Senior Brother! He must definitely have been abused by that man! Thank goodness we arrived in the nick of time!” Looking at the scars on his body, this girl was extremely heartbroken.

Even though she wasn’t from the same sect as Senior Brother Mu, the 2 of them were bosom mates from childhood. Hence, they traveled together to exact justice for the wronged in the world. On the way back to their sects, they heard a tragic sound and hurried over to check it out.

The sight of it all had them entirely outraged. To think that the pedophile would not even let go of a kid this young!

“Eh? Senior Brother! Take a look at his back! Why are there 4 wings here?” The girl asked, confused.

“That’s right! What’s happening? I’ve never heard of anything like this before!” The 2 of them looked at one another in bewilderment. This was the first time they had witnessed something like this.

If not for the fact that the records within their sects had indicated that beasts could not take on the form of humans, they might really have mistaken this thing as a beast!

“Senior Brother Mu, I think he must have undergone some experimentation or given some weird pills by that demon just now, resulting in this. This is really painful to look at! How about we adopt him and raise him together from now on?” The girl said compassionately.

The moment that Senior Brother Mu heard this, his body shuddered for a moment. The calm and handsome face of his let out a look of glee.

‘Adopt this kid. Raise him together. Doesn’t that just mean…?’

Senior Brother Mu did not dare to ponder any further. Without any hesitation, he nodded his head in agreement. He had been wondering what he should do to take the next step forward with his Junior Sister, but wasn’t this just the perfect opportunity?

“Little kid, Elder Sister here will protect you, alright? Can you tell me what’s your name?” The girl looked at the Flame Overlord with a tender expression.

But suddenly, she let out a scream.

The Flame Overlord was extremely angry right now. Those round eyes of his were dancing with flames. He had intended to stay hanging there for his big brother to whip him more. He was craving for that feeling once more. To think that these guys would spoil his plan!

He only had one thought on his mind right now: to devour these 2 humans whole.

“What’s wrong, Junior Sister?” Senior Brother Mu was shocked out of his sweet dreams by the screams of his junior sister.

“Senior Brother! H-his eyes!” The girl pointed at the Flame Overlord in fear.

“Eyes? What eyes?” Senior Brother Mu was confused. However, the moment he caught sight of the Flame Overlord’s eyes, he was equally stunned.

“How dare you 2 detestable humans destroy my perfect plan! I shall swallow you whole!” The face of the cute and plump Flame Overlord was now cold and vengeful.

With a single roar, his body expanded rapidly.

Instantaneously, the cute body of the child disappeared as he regained his true form.

‘ROAR…!’

The Flame Overlord let loose a cry as those sharp teeth of his glinted with a devious light. It was as though a peerless demon was staring down at these 2 people.

Looking at the gargantuan beast before them, these 2 people were scared witless. Even though their cultivation bases were decent, they were still rendered crying helplessly under the aura of this intimidating beast.

…

“Enough, kid. Do not harm these 2 and hurry the hell back!” Suddenly, a voice rang out from the distance.

The moment the Flame Overlord heard this, his anger diffused out. Looking at the 2 of them one last time with those fiery eyes, he leaped into a deep hole that had opened up on the ground and disappeared from Dongling Continent entirely.

The girl was scared shitless right now. Senior Brother Mu was still able to maintain his composure for just that bit more. The moment he saw this terrifying guy leave, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Junior Sister…” Senior Brother Mu wanted to comfort his junior sister. To think that she would pounce into his arms on her own accord.

“Senior Brother! I don’t want any kids in the future! Kids are scary!”

…

Still rushing on his way, Lin Fan shook his head a little helplessly. He had been monitoring the situation back there. Even though the Flame Overlord had been tamed by him, he was still a terrifying existence towards other human beings.

But thinking of how things ended up between those 2, Lin Fan could not help but chuckle. To think that the Flame Overlord would end up being a matchmaker.

Who knew? Senior Brother Mu might even be thanking the Flame Overlord secretly in his heart right now.
