The Strongest System - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Slowly Poke On.

p>Within the void, a dazzling brilliance brightened the grounds. That fiendish aura that was encompassing the airs began to dissipate under the warm cover of this bright flash, causing it to disappear like dust.

A white-clad figure could be seen, with his hands behind his back as he gave off an aura that seemed to be looking down on the world in disdain.

It was as though the Heavens and Earth were cheering in welcome for this figure in the skies.

Suddenly, two bright flashes of thunder streaked across the clear skies. Those thunderbolts were like agile snakes, coiling with one another, exorcising all of the demonic aura in the area.

The spirits were shivering uncontrollably under the impact of the thunderbolts, seemingly afraid.

“Do you want to fck the ground again?” Lin Fan threw a contemptuous side glance at Chen Xuan on the ground before asking.

He had not expected to meet something like this at the Manhuang Area.

Those things below which were floating above the ground, weren’t they spirits?!?

Lin Fan’s memory of these spirits was still fresh as day. After all, he was nearly done in by these things back in Tuodi Shrine.

But when he saw the person behind these spirits, he was equally astonished. To think that he would meet Chen Xuan, who had fcked the ground in front of the masses!

When Huang Linger saw the figure in the skies, she let out a bright smile. However, her forehead slowly creased back.

When she handed over the Life Seed to the other party, it was because she could see this man reappearing in the Manhuang Area in the future. However, the circumstances of his reappearance in her foresight were different from right now!

The more she looked, the grimmer her face turned.

To think that she could not see through the future of the other party! How was this possible?

One year ago, she could clearly see the future from him. But now, that image was murky with thunder crackling, as though it was forbidden for her to peek any further beyond.

As for the Manhuang Tribesmen, they were waiting with bated breath seeing the person who appeared in the sky as well, wondering if this was a friend or foe.

“It’s you…” Chen Xuan was gritting his teeth as he glared at Lin Fan. He couldn’t wait to crush this person to death harshly.

“Of course, it’s me! Who else do you think it is?” After landing from the skies, he looked at Chen Xuan and continued, “Wow, you’re a pretty decent fella eh? Seems like your cultivation state’s improved by quite a bit as well.”

Lin Fan was elated right now. This man was whisked away to safety by that mysterious hand a year ago. Now that they met again, this was absolutely fated to Lin Fan. If he allowed this person to run away again, then he would have definitely wasted his year sleeping!

“Hmph, it’s all thanks to you…” Chen Xuan’s reply was sinister. Those eyes which, were filled with disdain as though everything was under his control, were now filled with hatred instead.

“Oh, don’t mind the thanks! It’s all in a day’s work. I love to help people! That’s something that Yours Truly has spent his life working on: the good of others! It’s all good as long as you’re happy!” Thinking back of that scene a year ago, Lin Fan could not help but giggle out.

Chen Xuan glared at Lin Fan, his fists clenched so tightly that they were getting white. How piercing did that laughter sound? And of course, he knew why this guy was laughing.

To Chen Xuan, what happened back then was a humiliation of a lifetime. He swore on his entire life that he would seek vengeance.

“Well, it’s pretty much affinity for us to meet today once more. Let me ask you again, do you want to fck the ground? After all, I’m sure you enjoyed that feeling, didn’t you?” Lin Fan asked.

“You…!” Chen Xuan looked at Lin Fan, his face flushed red. Damn it! He couldn’t deny Lin Fan’s words.

Looking at Chen Xuan’s expression, Lin Fan smiled calmly.

After all, Biggra was crafted by Yours Truly. How would Lin Fan not know the wondrous effects it produced? After consuming Biggra, one’s life would be tranquil and stress-free. It was as though they had entered Heaven.

Forgetting about every pain and sorrow, the only thing left would be bliss.

All the numerous benefits could not even be labeled out in words.

Ever since Chen Xuan had entered the Nine Spirits Realm and communicated with the source, his cultivation state had received a tremendous boost. Within the short span of a year, using the core of the Nine Spirits Realm, he had gathered 20 energy grid line chains.

To anyone in this world, that was an absolutely horrifying existence.

Who else in this world could gather energy grid line chains at his speed?

Naturally, no one else.

Chen Xuan had always believed that he was the one and only, a man who was endowed with the blessings of the Heaven.

“You’ve gathered 60 energy grid line chains. Not bad eh?” Lin Fan remarked casually.

The moment these words came out of Lin Fan’s mouth, Chen Xuan’s face changed drastically.

‘He can see through my strength?!’

Didn’t this just mean that the other party has a higher power level than himself? But how could that be?!

He was a man who was blessed by the Heavens with an immense fortune. Hence, he was able to gather 60 energy grid line chains so quickly! But what about the other party?

Suddenly, an ominous feeling surged through Chen Xuan’s heart, as waves began to form in his heart. He wanted to leave this place immediately. He could sense the danger right now.

Standing on the tribute altar, Huang Linger had been listening in on the conversation of both men. The moment she heard that Chen Xuan had 60 energy grid line chains, she shuddered in fear.

Even though Huang Linger wasn’t exceptionally strong, she was the holy lady of the Manhuang Tribe. As such, she knew about many things more than most other people.

Even the Grandmasters of some great sects only had tens of energy grid line chains at the most. How could this man possess 60?!

Impossible. Definitely impossible…!

“Oh, you want to run?” Suddenly, Lin Fan noticed the weird actions of Chen Xuan. This fella seemed like he wanted to run off once more.

“Spirits, attack!” Chen Xuan hollered before tearing a gap through the void immediately, preparing to escape from this place. But just as Chen Xuan was about to step through the void, a tragic cry rang out.

“Bstard! What have you done!” Just as he had stepped into the gap, Chen Xuan fell out of it back onto the ground. His face was flushed red as his skin was peeled.

“Oh, nothing much. I’ve just sealed your exit with energy grid line chains, that’s all.” Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders.

“Impossible…!” The moment Chen Xuan heard this, he was stunned momentarily before shouting out once more.

The moment he had entered the gap, he was scared silly by the sheer number of energy grid line chains that were coiling around the void before him. With a loud crack, those energy grid line chains struck on his body, sending him flying out.

Other than himself, how could someone else gather that many energy grid line chains?!

“Nothing’s impossible. Oh, since you’re here, I can’t let you return without gaining anything, right?” Lin Fan sniggered. Slapping his storage, countless Biggras danced in the skies, covering Chen Xuan within them.

BOOM!

Suddenly, all the Biggras exploded and turned into a thick mist. The mist entered Chen Xuan through his nose and skin.

“NOOOOOO…!!!” Chen Xuan cried out pitifully. In fact, he could even imagine the horrors of what was about to happen.

But it was all too late…

“Y-you…!!!” Chen Xuan’s face was a flushed tomato red right now. His eyes were dazed as he pointed a trembling finger at Lin Fan. A fiery flame surged through his body, as though it was looking for an urgent release.

Those spirits who had no physical bodies lunged over at Lin Fan.

With a single sweep of his arm, he destroyed all the spirits entirely. He had a Spirit Crystal within his bag as well from Tuodi Shrine. That was an item used to communicate with the Nine Spirits Realm. But as of now, Lin Fan had no idea how to play around with it.

Now that this Chen Xuan could command these spirits, did this mean that he had been to the Nine Spirits Realm before?

Looking at the sight before them, everyone from Manhuang Tribe was utterly stumped. They had not expected those formidable enemies they had trouble dealing with earlier to disappear just like that.

And the thing that was breaking their minds right now was not just that. The man from earlier, what was he doing sprawled on the floor! Why was he moving up and down up and down? What was he doing?

On the impregnable grounds of Manhuang Area, a hole began to form…

Scary. Absolutely horrifying…

Chapter 392: Shoot Down Your Eyes!

p>Looking at Chen Xuan poking the floor with every bit of energy he had, Lin Fan could not help but laugh out loud.

These 60 energy grid line chains were good stuff, man!

With that, he could probably summon out the Heart Demon Emperor and mutilate his five limbs to convert into essence blood. Fusing those into his Blood Sea, he could boost the speed at which he would attain the state of rebirth through a single drop of blood.

If he could get to that stage, it would probably be hard for him to even want to die.

People in the Dongling Continent had practically reached the bottleneck of cultivation itself. With that, their speed of gathering energy grid line chains was really slow. It was practically the speed of a turtle, to gather only tens of energy grid line chains after 100 years of cultivation.

But to people of Dongling Continent, someone who could do even that could be considered a heaven-defying existence already.

The energy grid line chains were the wildest source of power in this world. They had to gather the energy grid spots into their bodies slowly before arranging them and finally forming a complete energy grid line chain through it.

But for someone like Lin Fan who had a BUG, gathering energy grid line chains was practically as easy as drinking water. To be able to gather 438 chains by just sleeping for an entire year? That was practically an absurd defiance of even the heavens itself.

“Well, Chen Xuan, it’s already a bargain for you to be able to live that additional year. It’s time for you to die obediently.” Lin Fan looked at Chen Xuan, having no intentions of letting this man go.

Chen Xuan, who was poking the floor comfortably, felt his heart cave in when he heard Lin Fan’s words.

Die?

How could he die? He was a man blessed by the Heavens!

But, he could sense the killing intent overflowing from that man’s gaze.

“NO! I’M A MAN BLESSED BY THE HEAVENS! YOU CAN’T KILL ME…!” Chen Xuan screamed out madly, green tendons popping out of his head.

“As someone who’s approaching death, I even took the effort to allow you to experience the epitome of life. Where else could you find someone as benevolent as me in this world? Alright, no more nonsense now. Just be obedient and pass on…” Lin Fan raised his hand gently. This Chen Xuan had a decent cultivation state. Of course, he would take the experience points… AND the energy grid line chains… AND the possessions that he had inside his storage rings.

Indeed, the way to get wealthy was by killing a powerful enemy.

But, given his current strength level, there might not be too many people in Dongling Continent whom he could have an eye on soon.

“HOW DARE YOU?” Chen Xuan looked at the immense energy gathering in Lin Fan’s palms with frightful eyes. If that amount of energy landed on him, he was definitely dead for sure!

“NO…HEAVEN’S WILL…SAVE ME…!” Chen Xuan howled and struggled, seeking his last chance at life.

“Heaven’s Will? Hmph!” Lin Fan snorted coldly.

BOOM!

Just then, the sky rumbled. The moment Chen Xuan said those words, the skies changed color, as a massive amount of energy encompassed the entire Manhuang Area.

“INSOLENT…!” From the unknown came a terrifying, authoritative voice. This voice boomed like the mighty bell, causing everyone’s attention to waver.

Everyone from the Manhuang Tribe immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood. That voice had caused their blood to rumble uncontrollably.

Lin Fan threw a casual glance at the sky. Not bothered in the least bit, he threw his palm down.

“YOU…!” When Chen Xuan saw the Heaven’s Will appearing to save him, he was overwhelmed with joy. However, he was absolutely flabbergasted that the other party would still dare to strike despite that.

BOOOOOOOM!

That palm strike was enough to devastate the entire Heavens and Earth. With that, the tremendous amount of energy extinguished any last bit of hope for life that Chen Xuan had.

‘Ding…congratulations on killing greater celestial full cultivation Chen Xuan.’

‘Ding…experience points +10,000,000’

…

Lin Fan frowned. 10,000,000?! Why was it that little! No matter what, Chen Xuan was somebody who had gathered 60 energy grid line chains!

But the moment he considered his current cultivation state, it all made sense.

Right now, Lin Fan was someone who had broken through the barriers of the Heavens and had gotten to an utmost celestial upper level being state. This was a cultivation state that no one else in Dongling Continent was able to obtain.

For someone of his cultivation state to even obtain 10,000,000 experience points from killing a greater celestial full cultivation being was already something remarkably decent.

“HOW DARE YOU KILL SOMEONE BLESSED BY THE HEAVENS? THAT’S AN UNPARDONABLE CRIME AGAINST THE HEAVENS!” The voice in the sky grew ever more violent. It was as though the voice was getting furious that Lin Fan had disobeyed its will and had gone on to kill Chen Xuan.

Huang Linger stood blankly on the tribute altar, being swayed by the wind. Raising her head into the sky, she muttered in disbelief, “Heaven’s Will?! How can that be?”

“Don’t fcking come here and act with your bullsht in front of Yours Truly. Come out if you’ve got the guts and Yours Truly will smash your head right in!” Lin Fan’s lips curled. ‘Fck this Heaven’s Will again! Whoever comes shall be walloped.’

If the Heaven’s Will were truly this obnoxious thing, Dongling Continent would have been long ruined. How else could it have remained that peaceful in the past?

“INSOLENT…!” The Heavens and Earth shook, and the sky changed color rapidly. It was as though doomsday was approaching the world.

“Hmph, you think that you’re the only one who can act? Yours Truly can too!” Looking up at the skies, Lin Fan was displeased that the other party seeming to be getting too comfortable with his act of bullsht. With that, he turned 450 energy grid line chains into a gigantic conical megaphone. Channelling from his diaphragm, he hollered.

“INSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

‘Well, there’s always someone stronger than you out there in the world. Yours Truly’s enhanced boosted version of ‘insolent’ would definitely be able to take you down.’

Suddenly, the sky rumbled fervently with its colors changing rapidly. The entire Earth trembled violently. Under Lin Fan’s roar, the voice of the Heaven’s Will broke up and was drowned within Lin Fan’s voice immediately.

“HMPH…! I’ve allowed you to act with your bullsh*t, but how dare you go overboard? If you’re indignant, come out and face Yours Truly so that I can smash your head right in! If I don’t do that, my surname will no longer be Lin!” Lin Fan shouted to the skies in disdain.

“Human, you have completely riled me up! You must receive your punishment!” The voice of the Heaven’s Will rang out once more. This time around, it was accompanied by the rumbling of thunder, as though he was preparing some ultimate move to strike down.

“CHEY…!” Lin Fan laughed contemptuously. ‘If one wants to take down Yours Truly, one has to have what it takes.’

And even if he couldn’t beat it for real, so what? If he pushed Yours Truly into a corner, Yours Truly could call out the Heaven and Earth Smelt to hide within. He would just hide for a long period of time, say, maybe ten years. By then, he could automatically continue to gather energy grid line chains. With a few thousand energy grid line chains, Lin Fan did not believe that he couldn’t kill anyone instantly.

Suddenly, a rainbow colored light burst out from the sky. The light seemed to have the energy of thunderbolts mixed within.

Lin Fan frowned. There was this really unpleasant feeling…

“That’s the Heaven’s Eye…!” Looking up into the skies, Huang Linger exclaimed out in shock.

“The Heaven’s Eye belongs to the Heaven’s Will! It can see through any deceitful illusions. Each time the eyes open, it’s the beginning of yet another new era! Could that truly be the Heaven’s Will?!” Huang Linger could not believe everything that was before her eyes.

In her eyes, the Heaven’s Will was impartial. But why would it come forth to try to rescue that evildoing man just now?

‘Impossible…impossible…!’

“Sinful human, you have to suffer the consequences!” The voice of the Heaven’s Will boomed out once more. Those mighty looking eyes glared down at Lin Fan fixedly.

For a pair of gigantic and horrifying looking eyes to appear in the skies, one could not deny the horrors of this scene right now.

“Heaven’s Eye? Hmph, seems like this is stronger than the Divine Retribution that you’ve employed last time, eh?” Lin Fan replied with naught a fear.

So, what if this truly was the Heaven’s Will? Should that cause Lin Fan to feel fear?

Seeing the scene, everyone from the Manhuang Tribe prostrated on the ground, quivering in fear.

To them, this was an existence that was equivalent to God…

“No, that’s not the Heaven’s Will! His future is filled with bloodshed!” Looking properly at the skies, Huang Linger screamed out in horror once more. It was as though she had witnessed something terrifying.

“Whether or not he’s the Heaven’s Will, Yours Truly shall duke it out with him today!” Lin Fan squinted his eyes and looked at the Heaven’s Eye.

“Fine! There was once Houyi who shot down the Suns. Today, Lin Fan shall shoot down these eyes! Yours Truly shall shoot your thievery eyes down!” Lin Fan took in a deep breath, preparing himself for a great battle.

‘So what if it was the Heaven’s Will? How dare it act so brazenly? WHACK AS NORMAL!’

Chapter 393: Suppress

p>Within the void, the sky rumbled furiously. Those all-encompassing and authoritative eyes looked down on the masses in disdain. It was especially fearsome to look into those rainbow colored pupils, which were filled with visions of death, new life, destruction, creation et cetera.

The Manhuang Tribesmen prostrated themselves on the ground, quivering in immense fear. This was akin to doomsday in their hearts. They didn’t even have the will to resist this immense aura.

Huang Linger’s face was extremely pale right now. Against this absolute aura, every single hope she had for the future had been extinguished entirely.

“Dumb human, you shall pay the price for your actions.” The Heaven’s voice boomed out across the entire sky. A tremendous force pummelled down, as though it was bent on crushing down on the masses.

“Your mum is dumb. YOU are the dumb one. You couldn’t even protect the person who you had so-called acknowledged as blessed by the Heavens, and you dare to be so brazen in front of Yours Truly?” Stepping forth, Lin Fan’s aura was tremendous as it erupted outwards, blocking out the power of the Heaven’s Will.

Seemed like this person who was referring to himself as Heaven’s Will was about to strike for real now. If that massive aura landed on these Manhuang Tribesmen, they would be crushed into dust for sure.

“If Yours Truly says that he’s going to shoot down your eyes, he’s going to shoot down your eyes! Today, it’s time for you to understand that there’s a risk in running out wild in the pugilistic world!” Lin Fan hollered in disdain.

‘Bloody hell! This guy thinks that he can trample on the masses just by producing a pair of huge eyes? What a dream!’

“Human, perish!” Suddenly, a massive rainbow-colored laser beam shot out from the Heaven’s Eyes. It seemed to be carrying with it a power that could annihilate the entire place.

“Hmph, perish your head! It’s time for you to know how powerful Yours Truly truly is!” Lin Fan lashed back in anger as his aura rose rapidly as well.

“Come on out, energy grid line chains!”

Instantly, 450 energy grid line chains erupted outwards. All of them were like agile electric snakes, coiling with one another before fusing.

“Hmm…” An astonished sound came out of the voids, as though the eyes were halted in their tracks by this sight. Perhaps, it was trying to comprehend how a mere human could gather this many energy grid line chains.

“Hmph! The show’s just starting!” Looking at those eyes in the skies, Lin Fan laughed coldly. Turning his palms, the energy grid line chains turned into an energy grid line bow, emitting a wild burst of energy.

“Today, Yours Truly shall see what it looks like for an eye to be shot into explosion!” Feeling the surge of energy from the bow, Lin Fan was overwhelmed with joy. To think that it would be this formidable!

With 450 different elements fusing into a single body, this amount of power was definitely enough to take down the ancients!

Looking at Lin Fan, Huang Linger was filled with shock. The amount of energy that was coming out from his was surging into her body like tidal waves.

To think that this person who she had last seen just a year ago was now this fearsome! In fact, he could even hold his ground against the Heaven’s Will!

This was something that Huang Linger could have never imagined.

Looking at the energy that the Heaven’s Eye was accumulating and gathering, Lin Fan slapped his storage. With that, the Eternal Donger appeared in the skies.

“Heaven’s Eye! Today, Yours Truly will let you experience what it feels like to be shot at! This should be an utmost honor to you!” Looking at the Heaven’s Eyes, Lin Fan’s gaze was filled with contempt.

The invincible Biggras floated and danced around the Eternal Donger, before exploding into a mist.

With the previous few experiments, it was as though the Eternal Donger was addicted to the Biggra as well. With a big sniff, it sucked in all the mist around it.

True Origins Crushing Kick!

With all the procedures taking place one by one, the power that was emanating from the Eternal Donger was stronger than ever.

Using the Eternal Donger as an arrow, Lin Fan stepped forth and straightened his back. He took aim and drew his bow.

“With great precision, Yours Truly shall shoot through your pupils!” With his forefinger, he stretched the bow to its maximum while fixating his gaze on the Heaven’s Eyes. A massive amount of energy erupted out from Lin Fan.

A bright glow appeared around the bow, as energy flowed and gathered towards it repeatedly.

“Foolish human! How dare you take a fight against the Heavens? This is intolerable in the world!” The voice boomed out from the sky once more. By now, the energy that had been accumulating in the Heaven’s Eye had reached its maximum.

BOOM!

A formidable force, seemingly encompassing everything, burst out towards Lin Fan.

“Hmph, insolent!” Without a single bit of fear towards the incoming projectile, Lin Fan let go of the bow. With that, the arrow erupted outwards, forming a streak of white light through the skies.

The light pierced through everything in the world. As though it was unable to withstand this massive surge of energy, the void began to tear along the way.

The 450 energy grid line chains followed behind the arrow immediately. Coiling together, they turned into another boost of energy and attached themselves onto the Eternal Donger.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

With the collision of these 2 massive forces, an enormous shockwave rippled through the entire Manhuang Area.

“How could this be?!” A voice of shock rang through from the voids. To think that a mere human would have enough power to resist him!

“Hmph, nothing is impossible. How dare you try to act tough in front of Yours Truly with just a pair of eyes” You’re way too naïve!” Lin Fan roared. Wielding the Eternal Axe in his arms, he leaped off the ground towards the other pupil.

BAM!

With that, the next scenes were just shocking for anyone in this world to behold.

The Eternal Donger had pierced through the left pupil wildly. The rainbow colored light scattered rapidly in all directions, as though the Heaven’s aura was dispersing up.

‘Firmament…!’

Lin Fan’s body was now stronger than ever. Coupled with 450 energy grid line chains, he could crush anything with ease.

The power of the Eternal Arm was also infused within this attack.

‘Firmament’ was the strongest attack skill that Lin Fan possessed. Now that his strength had turned so sick, the amount of power he could produce was definitely just enough to devastate the world.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The axe brought with it a beam of light, distorting and warping spacetime, splitting the right pupil into two entirely.

Countless rainbow colored lights dissipated in all directions.

“Impossible…! How could a mere human being be this strong? Don’t tell me that you’ve managed to break through the barrier in this world?!” The voice in the void was evidently startled, finding it hard to accept everything that had just happened.

“Barrier in this world? Are you bloody kidding me? You expect a small barrier like that to stand in Yours Truly’s path to greatness? What a dream! Yours Truly is an existence that takes down any and everything in my path!” Lin Fan hollered. Looking at the mighty Heaven’s Eyes which were now tattered and broken, he couldn’t help but laugh out.

It was simply too awesome! The feeling of such strength!

“Oh, you want to run? Carry on dreaming!” Looking at those Heaven’s Eyes trying to make an escape, Lin Fan would definitely not let that happen.

‘Heaven and Earth Smelt.’

“What’s that?!” The voice exclaimed out in shock, as though it was startled by the Heaven and Earth Smelt.

In that instance, the Heaven and Earth Smelt took the Heaven’s Eyes in. Within the smelt, the Heaven’s Eyes tried to make an escape, but it was suppressed by Lin Fan as it dropped back within.

‘Smelt.’

‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining a strain of Heaven’s Consciousness.’

“HAHAH! What other fcked up capabilities do you have? Take them all out! Yours Truly fears nothing!” Lin Fan pointed his middle finger up into the sky.

“BSTARD…!” An angry roar boomed out from the void, evidently incensed by Lin Fan’s actions.

Chapter 394: Lin Fan, Who’s Bored Of Insulting

p>”Are you like retarded? How is it that you only know those few words? It’s either bstard, dumb, or puny. What? You can’t even hold a proper conversation? Are you indignant? If you’ve got guts, then show yourself and fight Yours Truly one on one!” Lin Fan taunted the Heaven’s Will as he willed, not giving him even the slightest bit of respect.

“Why? Are you mute now? No matter how vast this entire world is, nothing is vaster than the heart of Yours Truly! Now, Yours Truly is giving you the chance to call for reinforcements to whack me! If you don’t even have the guts for that, then scram along now! Heaven’s Will? Heaven’s Aura? You’re just a little piece of sht!”

Huang Linger was absolutely astounded right now. She looked at Lin Fan blankly.

“That’s…the Heaven’s Will you’re talking to…” Huang Linger muttered dazedly.

The fear she had from earlier on had long disappeared.

“So what if it’s the Heaven’s Will? That’s all he amounts to.” Lin Fan twitched his mouth with a look of extreme disdain. At the same time, he was doubting whether or not this fella was the real Heaven’s Will.

After all, through everything that had happened showed that there was more to this than what met the eye.

“Human, you’re just courting your own death…!” The voice from the void boomed out once more. At the same time, half of the sky turned red, as though the clouds were on fire.

This was the rage of the Heaven’s Will that had stained half the skies red.

“That’s right. Yours Truly IS courting his own death. If you’ve got guts, then show yourself instead of running your mouth loose! Heaven’s Will? PUI! You’re just a bloody tortoise! Just because you’ve got some skills, you think that you’re the number one in this world? In the eyes of Yours Truly, you’re not even comparable to those spirits from before!” Lin Fan mocked.

Lin Fan was a man well versed in novels. How could he not know what all these BOSS characters thought? All of them had a huge ego, that wouldn’t allow anyone to insult them as such.

But this guy here though, other than running his mouth loose, he didn’t dare to take any concrete actions at all. Even that so-called Heaven’s Eye was just so-so to Lin Fan.

Good to look at, but functionality? Not so great.

But still, Lin Fan maintained his wariness towards this fella. The only reason why Lin Fan was putting so much effort into taunting him was because he had seen through his tricks.

If this guy truly had the powers to take him down harshly, there was no way he would let Lin Fan run loose while humiliating him as such without fighting back.

Even then, Lin Fan was not afraid of this sheep in wolf’s skin. Since he dared to insult him so thoroughly, he definitely had come up with a plan earlier on. If he truly couldn’t beat this guy, he would just seek refuge within the Heaven and Earth Smelt to hide from this disaster.

“Human, don’t you dare go overboard!” The voice was now booming even louder than before, along with the crackling of thunder in the sky.

“So what if Yours Truly wants to go overboard! It’s not like as though you can whack me, eh?” Lin Fan taunted with an extremely obnoxious looking face. Anyone who had any feelings would definitely find this intolerable.

Within the unknowns of the voids…

Two forces were locked in struggle. But the rainbow colored energy was already at its limits, and was about to dissipate entirely soon.

As for the domineering force, it was howling nonstop.

“THAT BSTARD! HOW DARE HE INSULT ME? HEAVEN’S WILL! STOP YOUR FUTILE RESISTANCE! YOUR DOOMSDAY HAS LONG BEEN DETERMINED!”

“NO! YOU SHALL NEVER REPLACE ME!”

…

Looking up at the sky which had completely no reaction at all, Lin Fan was exasperated. Just what sort of a BOSS was this?! Now that Yours Truly had rained insults all over his face, how could he not have any single bit of reaction? What a disappointment!

“Are you still there! Come out if you’ve got the guts! Stop wasting time! Yours Truly’s time is really precious!” Lin Fan hollered into the skies.

“Human! Stop being insolent! I’m the Heaven’s Will! You shall suffer Divine Retribution!” The voice rang through once more, filled with boundless hatred.

“Hmph, you bloody dumbfck! I’ve told you! Yours Truly is a man who is brazen! Heaven’s Will my as! You’re just a cowardly tortoise! Trash! No, you’re worse than trash!”

Lin Fan would not stop his hurling of insults as he spewed them out without a single bit of mercy. He hoped that the other party would find this intolerable and start his attacks once more.

Lin Fan could tell of the usefulness of the Heaven’s Consciousness that was smelted from the Heaven and Earth Smelt. But with only two strands of the Heaven’s Consciousness, he could barely retrieve any good understanding out of the entire story.

After raining insults for a good long period of time, Lin Fan was getting thirsty and tired. This Heaven’s Will was simply a big wimp!

At this moment within the unknown void, the Heaven’s Will, which was being humiliated by Lin Fan, was fuming with rage.

How dare a puny human look down on him as such! Damn it! DAMN IT!

BOOM!

Just as Lin Fan was prepared to stop his insults which were reeling in no rewards, something happened to the sky.

A tremendous amount of energy began to gather.

“Eh? Seems like he’s finally out, eh?” Lin Fan was elated as he raised his head. Seemed like this fella finally had enough of his insults and was out to fight him!

“Bstard human! How dare you insult the Heaven’s Will! I’ll make sure you pay the price today!” The voice in the sky boomed.

A colossal illusory figure began to gather up in the sky. This was a figure formed by energy itself. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that this was an incarnation of the pseudo-Heaven’s Will.

In the blink of an eye, the illusion was complete. This was a titanic and imposing giant whose aura flooded the sky, looking way stronger than those eyes before.

“Human, how dare you completely rile the Heaven’s Will?” The giant spoke, crushing down from the sky with a single palm.

Looking at this scene, Lin Fan could feel his blood racing as well, ‘HAHA! Good…just in time!’

With a war cry, he leaped up into the skies with a tremendous amount of energy, welcoming the illusory giant.

He gathered the energy grid line chains on his body. His physical body state was even stronger than the Eternal body parts right now. In fact, even if all the Eternal body parts were to fuse and come together at him, he might even stand a chance.

BOOM!

With a single palm strike, Lin Fan ripped the void apart. The palm strike which was pummelling from the skies broke apart instantly without any resistance.

“Impossible…!” A voice of disbelief came out through the void. He had not expected this human being to be this strong!

“Nothing’s impossible. Good for a show, but useless. Did you think that you were invincible just through sheer body size? Yours Truly will let you understand today that even a small built person could produce a formidable amount of power!” Lin Fan lashed out wildly. A surge of energy burst out from his surroundings.

“There’s a palm skill that strikes down from the Heavens. Do you know what’s that? Let Yours Truly school you. It’s called Buddha’s Palm! SLAP…!” Within the skies, Lin Fan had flown to the head of the illusory giant before slapping down.

BOOM!

The giant formed by the pseudo-Heaven’s Will rocketed down towards the ground. Eventually, it collapsed, kneeling on the ground.

The pseudo-Heaven’s Will who was hidden within the void looked at all this in absolute disbelief. He had not expected a human to be this sick! But right now, he could not afford to exert any more strength than this. If he did, the Heaven’s Will might steal the chance to retaliate back. That would cause all his previous efforts to go to waste!

“Not even worthy of a single strike. A piece of sht! Totally useless!” Looking at the scene before him, Lin Fan laughed coldly.

‘Heaven and Earth Smelt.’

With that, the giant was absorbed within the Heaven and Earth Smelt as well.

‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining 1 strain of Heaven’s Consciousness.’

…

“Eh? I imagined how strong you would be. But to think that this is the extent of your capabilities.” Lin Fan tossed out a look of disdain before looking up into the sky, “Are you still coming? I told you, I’m agreeable to you looking for reinforcements. After all, everything you’ve summoned so far is weak as sht!”

…

By now, the sky was silent. It was as though everything had disappeared entirely.

Lin Fan waited for a while more before shaking his head helplessly. Seemed like it had left.

At the same time, this affirmed the suspicions in his mind. This fella should be trying to devour the Heaven’s Will. That was the reason why he could not afford to expend any more energy.

But what sort of a being was this to be able to devour even Heaven’s Will itself? This was absolutely horrifying.

Chapter 395: Walking Gold Mine

p>”Oi, what happened to you? Why are you silent now?” Lin Fan came in front of Huang Linger. Looking at her standing blankly where she was, he waved his hands in front of her face.

Just by arriving here, the entire place was already shaken as such. If the pseudo-Heaven’s Will had truly struck down, how scary would that have been?

An existence which could devour even the Heaven’s Will itself… How weak could that possibly get? Lin Fan wondered if he could even withstand it himself.

Sobering from her daze, Huang Linger took a look at Lin Fan and felt her heart skip a beat once more.

That thing from before was definitely the Heaven’s Will. However, that wasn’t the true Heaven’s Will. She did not know what had happened to the Heaven’s Will. But for this man before her to have the power to resist THAT, she was still unable to come to terms with the facts fully.

“Nothing much.” She shook her head. Suddenly, she was startled, “You’ve caused the Life Seed to sprout?”

She could feel an intense amount of lifeforce that was emanating from Lin Fan. However, she could also tell that the lifeforce was being shaved off continuously.

“Yes, it’s sprouted. However, it’s still a seedling for now. And there’s some problem with it as well.” Lin Fan continued.

“Could I take a look at it?” Huang Linger asked.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan flipped open his palms. With that, a shriveled up Mythical Parasol Tree floated in his palms. The roots of the Mythical Parasol Tree were translucent and clear. They were attached to Lin Fan’s palms at the moment.

Looking at the Mythical Parasol Tree in Lin Fan’s palms, Huang Linger frowned. After a while, she relaxed and continued, “The Mythical Parasol Tree is the only mythical tree that exists in this world, and has been through countless of eras. Ever since it was destroyed, it turned into a seed and has never ever sprouted again. To think that you could allow it to sprout once more. That’s a miracle indeed.”

After listening to Huang Linger, Lin Fan could not help but credit the sprouting of the Life Seed to Chicky. If not for Chicky, this Life Seed would have still remained as a seed in his storage.

“What’s the background of this Mythical Parasol Tree?” Lin Fan asked.

“I don’t know exactly as well. However, according to my ancestors, the Mythical Parasol Tree is the source of life between Heaven and Earth.” Huang Linger shook her head and explained.

The knowledge she had was limited. Other than the fact that the Life Seed produced a tremendous amount of lifeforce, she didn’t even know of any other effects it had.

“Now that it’s starting to wither, is there any hope to salvage this?” Lin Fan’s purpose here this time round was to find a way to revive the abilities of the Mythical Parasol Tree.

“Probably. However, I don’t dare to guarantee success. After all, this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this.” Huang Linger replied.

Lin Fan nodded. Even though the Mythical Parasol Tree was still a seedling, it had already provided him with immense benefits. If it were to die just like that, then that would be a terrible pity.

But even till now, a single fact puzzled Lin Fan. If this Life Seed was so precious, why had she agreed to hand it over to him a year ago? If he didn’t clarify this fact, he wouldn’t be able to get rid of the uneasiness in his heart.

“That’s right, since it’s so precious. Why did you choose to hand it over to me back then?”

Looking at Lin Fan, Huang Linger chuckled, “You were committing a robbery. We were so weak then. Was there any way we could refuse you?”

Stunned for a moment, Lin Fan grinned. That was an interesting excuse there.

Huang Linger stepped down from the tribute altar. She turned back and looked at Lin Fan, “I handed it over to you back then because I could see the future. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to a place. Whether or not it succeeds, that all depends on you. For now, I’ll arrange for the tribesmen to take you for a good rest. I’ll look for you tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Lin Fan nodded his head. Tomorrow then. He still had got stuff within his storage that he needed to sort out properly. These were all the goodies he had obtained after multiple battles so far.

After Huang Linger left, a brutish looking tribesman made his way over to Lin Fan. He was cowering slightly with a look of respect.

“Please follow me.”

The Manhuang Tribesmen feared the Heavens. However, now that this man could take down even the Heavens, naturally, he was even scarier to them.

Looking at how afraid these tribesmen were of himself, Lin Fan could not help but chuckle exasperatedly. With that, he followed that man and left the area.

Before leaving, he threw a final glance at the statue on the tribute altar and frowned.

Even though the aura of this statue was different from that of the Founder Ancestor back in Glory Sect, the remnant aura was somewhat similar…

…

Night…

Lin Fan looked at his belongings within his storage.

The body of the big ancient demon, two strains of Heaven’s Consciousness, and a storage ring.

Lin Fan had plans to smelt the body of the big ancient demon initially. However, on second thoughts, this guy did not have any energy grid line chains at all. If he were to end up gaining nothing from the smelt, wouldn’t that be a big waste?

Even though this big ancient demon had fallen for 10,000+ years and his cultivation base had dropped tremendously, just the sturdiness of his physical body state was definitely more than enough to take down most things. If not for the fact that he had ‘Seven Realms’, they might have truly died there and then.

Even with 450 energy grid line chains right now, Lin Fan did not dare to claim that this was definitely enough to take down the big ancient demon.

Ancient overlord who had conquered over the ancient times… That was definitely no joke.

Falling deep into his thoughts, Lin Fan could not help but recall back to the plotlines of the all the novels he had read in the past.

Well, he was pretty satisfied with the pill cultivation process of the Xuanhuang World. But, he wasn’t so pleased with the weapons crafting portion.

Four grades: Heaven, Earth, Dark, Light; three tiers: Upper, Middle, Lower… Seven in total.

Even at a Heaven grade state, the power that one possessed was extremely limited.

For example, the Heaven graded upper armor he had produced back then, that was practically the highest graded equipment that he could produce in Xuanhuang World. But even then, only its defensive capabilities were brilliant.

Now that Lin Fan’s weapon crafting skills were the strongest in this side of the world, it was time for him to come up with a new breakthrough for this world.

And of course, this big ancient demon’s body would make for the most precious material he could ever hope to obtain.

Lin Fan also obtained a lot of inspiration from Demon City in a Palm. Perhaps, he should give it a shot.

Materials… He needed tons of materials!

If he could craft out yet another legendary weapon like the Nine Five Legendary Brick or Seven Realms, he would be elated beyond words.

But right now, the materials for those weren’t enough. Time to set the big ancient demon’s body aside then.

Looking at the two strains of Heaven’s Consciousness, his lips curled into a grin.

‘Ding…discovered Heaven’s Consciousness. Absorb?’

‘Absorb.’

Lin Fan did not hesitate in the slightest bit. These were good stuff, man!

As the two strains of consciousness entered his body, Lin Fan frowned momentarily and closed his eyes. Gradually, new scenes began to appear in his head.

After some time, he opened his eyes with a look of enlightenment.

‘So that’s the reason why. Seems like I’ve been pretty close with my guesses. The voice asking for help was indeed the true Heaven’s Will.’

The images that Lin Fan witnessed after consuming those two strains of Heaven’s Consciousness showed him the Heaven’s Will of Dongling Continent being devoured by an invader.

The reason why the pseudo-Heaven’s Will he had been fighting could not use up its fullest powers was due to its locked struggle with the true Heaven’s Will. If he had used up any more power, he would face retaliation from the true Heaven’s Will.

‘Seems like Yours Truly’s act of defiance was indirectly beneficial to the situation. However, I wonder how long the Heaven’s Will can continue to last.’ Lin Fan sighed helplessly as he shook his head.

‘Hais, even though Yours Truly wishes to save you, there’s really nothing much I can do. How should I even begin to do that at all?’

…

When he caught sight of Chen Xuan’s storage ring, he grinned once more.

“Twice… What a pitiful fate that fella has. He’s just a walking piece of gold mine! To think that he would return to be robbed by Yours Truly once more after the previous round of robbing! What a tragedy! Well, let’s see what sort of items he has obtained in the past year then.” Lin Fan chuckled.

And of course, Chen Xuan was a pitiable man. To think that he considered himself blessed by the Heaven’s because he was supported by the pseudo-Heaven’s Will.

But just as Lin Fan looked into the storage ring, his body froze up in excitement…

…

Chapter 396: Say Something, Supreme Being Senior!

p>’Supreme Being’s Token Shards! To think that Chen Xuan would hold the final two!’

Lin Fan looked at the two token shards in his hands excitedly, not knowing what else he could say.

He had already obtained four of them. As for the final two, he had spent a long time looking for it but to no avail. To think that they would be in Chen Xuan’s possession! He was naturally exhilarated beyond joy.

This was more important than anything he could hope for!

‘Cangling Continent! Yours Truly can finally return to you!’

Two years, it had been two entire years! And finally, he was able to head back to Cangling Continent!

A light sparkled in Lin Fan’s eyes as he took out the other four token shards from his storage. He placed all six of them on the floor. Under his gaze, all the pieces began to fuse together.

DING!

A bright light flashed out. With that, a complete and whole Supreme Being’s Token laid quietly floating before Lin Fan’s eyes.

He took the token in his hands.

‘Finally, it’s done.’

The drawing on the token caught Lin Fan’s attention.

It was a door.

Below the door stood a human.

And on the door, there seemed to be some evil demon.

But, Lin Fan didn’t have to get overly bothered with it. The token required payment of True Energy from the Heavens and Earth before it could activate the strain of Supreme Being’s Consciousness within.

Not only could he get to learn some skills from the consciousness, he could even return to Cangling Continent! What a bargain!

Lin Fan started channeling the True Energy within his body into the Supreme Being’s Token. With Lin Fan’s current cultivation state, the True Energy cost of the token was no longer an issue for him.

If he could dare to channel in his True Energy back when he was just a postcelestial full cultivation being, what else would he be afraid of right now?

But, Lin Fan was astonished to find out that this Supreme Being Token was no longer accepting True Energy. This was weird indeed.

Did this guy have a change in appetite?

Lin Fan stopped his channeling and pondered for a moment.

The world currently cultivated for two things, one was True Energy, and the other was to comprehend the power of energy grids, allowing one to form energy grid line chains.

‘Perhaps I should give that a shot.’

With that, Lin Fan arranged the energy grid line chains within his body into a river. This river was the power of energy grids as it surged within the Supreme Being Token.

‘Aha…!’ Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. Seemed like the power of energy grid that was being channeled into the token was working.

But Lin Fan was still puzzled nevertheless. Back when he had channeled his True Energy, the token stared to absorb it all by itself automatically. Why did he have to channel inside manually right now then?

Even though Lin Fan was confused, he did not stop his actions because of it. The river of energy grid power flowed in continuously. Lin Fan was determined to awaken the token.

Time passed by…

Lin Fan frowned. Based on the amount of power he had channeled in, if they were to form into energy grid line chains, there would be a whole fifty chains right now!

To think that even fifty energy grid line chains could not activate this token. Was this thing for real?!

Even the Grandmaster of Glory Sect had a few dozens of energy grid line chains of his own. If he had obtained this token, did this mean that the Grandmaster could not even hope to activate it?

Was this thing bent on not allowing anyone to activate it?

But Lin Fan refused to believe otherwise. He had 450 energy grid line chains! What was he afraid of?

‘Channel!’

Lin Fan did not slow down his speed. In fact, he hastened it as the river surged and gushed within.

BOOM!

Suddenly, something happened to the token. It gave off a bright light before a light screen appeared.

Within that screen, a single figure stood.

Lin Fan smiled gleefully. Seemed like he had succeeded!

“Sup, Supreme Being Senior! We meet once more, haha!” Looking at the figure on the screen, Lin Fan waved excitedly.

“Eh? Supreme Being Senior, what’s with you! Why aren’t you talking!”

“Oi, oi! Speak up! Supreme Being Senior! Are you dreaming? HELLO? Someone’s here! Knock knock!”

Lin Fan was stunned. Why the hell was this strain of consciousness not talking at all! Was there a hardware issue with this strain of consciousness?

Even though the Supreme Being figure on the screen did not speak at first when he had summoned it the previous time, at least it did some tricks and showed some skills. Why the hell was the Supreme Being not budging a single inch now that the entire Supreme Being Token was completed?

“Supreme Being Senior! It’s been two years! No matter what, you’ve got to say something man! Do you have any idea how much I had to go through just to gather all the token shards? I’ve gone through so many hardships and tears just to get this done. And there you are, standing without even a single word! Aren’t you just bullying me man?” Lin Fan’s face was dismal.

“Supreme Being Senior! Okay, fine. Even if you don’t want to say something, move man! At least show me some peerless skills for me to learn from again!” Lin Fan was stumped. Was this some kind of phony product? Was everything just a joke?!

Just as Lin Fan was caught at a loss, he jolted up in shock from a horrifying voice.

“IMPOSSIBLE…!” The Supreme Being’s face was stumped. He looked at Lin Fan with a look of disbelief. There was no way he looked like a mysterious and supreme being right now.

“Huh…?” Lin Fan was stunned as well, wondering what sort of crack this Supreme Being had been sniffing.

“What’s impossible?” Lin Fan asked confusedly.

But the Supreme Being only mumbled to himself continuously, “Impossible. Definitely impossible. How could anyone activate the Supreme Being Token?”

“I’ve already set up the Heavenly Barrier between Dongling Continent. How could anyone reach such a state?”

“Impossible…”

…

Listening to the mumblings of the Supreme Being, Lin Fan was starting to get a clue of what was happening.

Seems like the Supreme Being was shocked by himself! No wonder he couldn’t speak up at the start.

“It’s you…!” The moment the Supreme Being caught sight of Lin Fan’s face, he recalled.

“That’s right! It’s me! Hola! It’s been a year man. To think that you’ve yet to forget about me, Supreme Being Senior! What an honor!” Lin Fan chuckled.

“Just what sort of magical happenings occurred for you to break through the barrier I’ve left behind in such a short period of time? Incredible. That’s definitely incredible!” The Supreme Being replied exasperatedly.

“What’s your purpose for gathering the Supreme Being Token?” After being silent for a moment, the Supreme Being asked Lin Fan.

“Oh, of course, it’s to take down the obstruction between the split up Xuanhuang World and return to Cangling Continent.” Lin Fan replied without even thinking for a moment.

But, what he had not expected was the Supreme Being’s reaction upon hearing these words.

“No! Definitely no! No one must take away the obstruction!” The Supreme Being replied agitatedly.

Lin Fan shook his head, “No. I must definitely return to Cangling Continent.”

“No!”

“No! I MUST return to Cangling Continent.” Lin Fan replied resolutely.

The Supreme Being looked at Lin Fan, “If you cause Xuanhuang World to combine into one once more, the Heavenly Barrier would disappear. With that, Xuanhuang World, the final piece of sanctuary for mankind, would turn into a living Hell as well!”

“I’m not afraid. I’ll protect everyone.” Lin Fan replied firmly.

The Supreme Being looked at Lin Fan for a moment. He then shook his head once more, “No. Indeed, you are strong. However, in the face of those strong beings, you are still an ant nevertheless. There is no difference.”

“How can that be?!” Lin Fan was stunned. “Supreme Being Senior, are you trying to trick me?”

“If you were stronger than me, then the Heavenly Barrier would definitely dissipate into dust just through your own abilities.” The Supreme Being continued.

“How’s that possible, Supreme Being Senior? You’re the god that has traversed across the entire Ancient times and ruled over everything! How can I compare up to you right now?! However, if you give me some time, I can definitely surpass you!” Lin Fan said without a single bit of humility. After all, everything he said was the truth.

“Oho! I like your guts. However, even if it’s me, I can only escape with my life in front of those strong ones. And there’s not just one of them. Do you still think you can defend the Xuanhuang World?” The Supreme Being asked.

Lin Fan was flabbergasted for a moment. He then replied resignedly, “No.”

But, he did not want to give up, “Supreme Being Senior, is there truly no way for me to return to Cangling Continent without destroying the Heavenly Barrier?”

“There is…”

The moment he heard that, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. WHEW! He was nearly scared to death.

“I can teach you how to get to Cangling Continent, but the Heavenly Barrier must not be destroyed.” The Supreme Being emphasized once more.

“Alright, sure. But first, can you tell me the reason why the Heavenly Barrier must be set up, Supreme Being Senior?” Lin Fan was filled with curiosity.

“Alright then, I shall tell you about those Ancient times which nightmares are made up of…”

Lin Fan sat bolted upright, listening attentively.

Chapter 397: Life Fluid

p>Listening to the Supreme Being, Lin Fan gradually began to see the importance of having the Heavenly Barrier continue existing. However, at the same time, he felt a deep sense of sorrow towards mankind.

Were they really just comparable to beasts with their lives and deaths depending on the will of others?

“In the end, there was only me, the God of War, the God of Battle, and the Reincarnation Emperor… The four of us were powerful beings on all fronts. We sealed ourselves up in seclusion for many years, hoping to create a sanctuary for humans. But what a joke it all was. The other party was just a single person who managed to take down all of us…” The Supreme Being continued in a dejected manner.

“Huh, for real?” Lin Fan was startled as well. How did it sound so much like fiction? Could the Supreme Being be saying that just to scare him a little?

But, Lin Fan knew that the Supreme Being was an absolutely powerful being. With a single move, he managed to split the world into two. Even his current self couldn’t possibly do that!

But, if a being such as the one the Supreme Being mentioned existed, then Lin Fan would definitely stand no chance against him at all!

“But that’s not right either, Supreme Being Senior. If you said that anyone stronger than you can destroy the Heavenly Barrier by themselves, how come those horrific fellas you were talking about couldn’t do so?” Lin Fan asked in bewilderment.

Looking at Lin Fan, the Supreme Being sighed, “That’s the reason why the highest cultivation state one can achieve in Dongling Continent is greater celestial full cultivation. Once you go beyond this point, you would be on the path which most people refer to as ‘Road to eternity.’ From there, some source from the unknown would act as a medium to connect you over to that world. That’s the reason why the four of us used everything we could to build up the barrier and seal the entire Xuanhuang World. With this, no one can make that connection and the barrier shall never be removed.”

“Now, do you still wish to remove the barrier?” The Supreme Being asked solemnly.

Lin Fan was stunned momentarily, helpless. “All I want to do is return to Cangling Continent.”

“Alright. Regarding that, I will help you. Once you reach the boundaries of the barrier, activate me once more. I’ll help you get through it.” The Supreme Being continued. Everything was fine as long as the barrier wasn’t destroyed.

“Alright, Supreme Being. We’re pretty much done with what we need to talk about. How about you impart me some peerless skills as well?” Lin Fan asked with anticipation.

“Can’t-do. This is only one strain of my consciousness. If I were to demonstrate once more, I would disappear entirely. Then, I can’t possibly send you back to Cangling Continent anymore.” The Supreme Being replied regrettably.

“The f*ck?!” Lin Fan rolled his eyes back. Wasn’t he forced to make a choice between the two then? But on second thought, he decided to forget it. After all, returning to Cangling Continent was of utmost importance.

After that, Lin Fan continued to ask the Supreme Being some questions. Of course, he wasn’t too clear about the situation in that other tragic world right now, but it did sound like that other party was having a really rough life.

Next day…

Huang Linger came to the place Lin Fan was residing at.

“Everything’s prepared. Whether or not the Mythical Parasol Tree revives would depend on this.” Huang Linger continued.

“Okay.” Lin Fan nodded his head and followed behind her. Her attire was really formal, as though she was preparing to welcome something.

The Manhuang Tribesmen followed behind as they headed towards the deeper parts of the Manhuang Area.

Not long later, everyone came to a stop at a place.

It looked to be a cave that was ahead, with two guards of Manhuang Tribe standing on each side. Upon the arrival of Huang Linger, they naturally stood aside and gave way.

“This is the forbidden ground of the Manhuang Tribe. It has existed for a really long time now.” Huang Linger explained gently. She then came before this tightly shut stone doors and knelt down respectfully. Taking out a small dagger, she made a cut on her palm before smearing the doors with her blood.

Creak. BOOM!

After absorbing the blood, the stone gates opened gradually with a loud sound. Lin Fan looked at the pitch-black inners of the place. There was an aged aura that was emanating from within.

“You guys stand guard outside.” Huang Linger then turned and nodded to Lin Fan.

The two of them stepped into that darkness. As they walked in, the walls on both sides lit up with flames, brightening the entire passageway.

Lin Fan looked at the pictures on the walls and frowned. If he had seen these pictures before yesterday, he might be lost and confused. However, after conversing with the Supreme Being for the entire night, he had gained a new knowledge about tons of stuff.

The pictures depicted a grand tree that pierced through the Heavens. It was swarmed and attacked by demons. Eventually, the tree collapsed into a seed and floated down…

“Just what sort of existence was that to wield such a horrifying power? Even the Supreme Being lacked in tons of details. This may be because he was only a strain of consciousness.” Lin Fan was curious in his heart, but as the saying went, ‘curiosity killed the cat’. If he could avoid meeting those bunch of strong beings, he would choose to do so.

Not long after, they reached the end of the passage. Before them was a gigantic secret chamber.

A pool laid in the middle of the secret chamber, white mist emanating from it. It was beautiful, pure white; a beauty that was unparalleled.

“What a strong lifeforce!” Lin Fan could feel the immense amount of lifeforce that was being emitted by the pool. Even the Mythical Parasol Tree might not be able to catch up with this.

“This is the Life Fluid. This is the fluid that is secreted by the Mythical Parasol Tree when it matures. Perhaps this is also the answer to its revival.” Huang Linger started.

Lin Fan stepped forth and placed his hand within.

‘Ding…congratulations on discovering Life Fluid.’

‘Life Fluid: The essence of the Mythical Parasol Tree. Possesses boundless lifeforce.’

This was good stuff indeed. But of course, one had to take precautions against everything. Naturally, Lin Fan had to have the system check it out first. Otherwise, if this were a trap by Huang Linger, he would have a really tragic outcome.

Flipping his palm open, the withered Mythical Parasol Tree floated into the air.

Just then, the white mist began to gather around the Mythical Parasol Tree. As though it had discovered something good, the withered branches of the Mythical Parasol Tree seemed to have gotten a new life and began to absorb in the white mist thirstily.

“It’s working.” Seeing this, Lin Fan was extremely elated. He then placed the entire Mythical Parasol Tree into the pool.

The moment it entered the pool, the roots of the Mythical Parasol Tree began to grow rapidly while absorbing this Life Fluid frantically.

“Seems like my guess was correct.” Looking at this, Huang Linger broke into a smile.

Lin Fan chuckled. If the Mythical Parasol Tree could continue growing, it would only serve to benefit him more.

But with that, Lin Fan turned around to look at Huang Linger once more, “What’s the purpose of everything you’ve done so far?”

Lin Fan could not believe that there were these many kind souls in this world. There were not many people in this world who were as kind as he was. This Mythical Parasol Tree was nothing ordinary. There must be a reason why Huang Linger passed this to him.

“Don’t tell me you can see the future. I don’t believe that.”

Huang Linger broke into a smile. It was a dazzling wide beam indeed, “I truly can see the future. However, the reason why I handed you the Mythical Parasol Tree was because I require a favor from you. However, now’s not the time. I will let you know when the time is ripe.”

“Deal. I’m someone who loves deals. However, I have to let you know that if the deal is way too impractical, I will reject it.” Lin Fan chuckled.

Just as Lin Fan and Huang Linger were conversing, something was happening to the Mythical Parasol Tree.

An ancient aura began emanating from the tree.

“It’s the second phase!” A look of glee streaked through Huang Linger’s eyes.

Those withered branches of the Mythical Parasol Tree began to sprout new leaves. The leaves were exuberant with energy. It was as though it was reborn entirely.

The pool was so shallow now that one could almost see its depths. The Life Fluid was being absorbed clean by the Mythical Parasol Tree.

Looking at all of this, Lin Fan was elated. Seemed like it succeeded!

Not only did the Mythical Parasol Tree recover, it even evolved, and its branches were filled with green leaves now!

This was truly a sign of an exuberant lifeforce.

Now that the Mythical Parasol Tree had recovered, it was time to return to Cangling Continent.

Vengeance.

He would never forget that in his life.

Ever.

Chapter 398: Back Again.

p>Next day…

The Manhuang Area was always in a state of bad condition. Dust clouds and storms were common occurrences.

After an entire day, the Mythical Parasol Tree had recovered entirely. As Huang Linger said, it had proceeded to the second phase indeed.

With that, Lin Fan could also clearly feel the changes brought to him by the Mythical Parasol Tree.

The speed of absorbing True Energy from the surroundings was hastened. The lifeforce that came along with it was also stronger by a few times compared to the past.

Inner Heaven and Earth…

The roots of the Mythical Parasol Tree were like a coiling dragon right now, stretching out within the inner world of Lin Fan.

This inner world of Lin Fan was like the Heavens and Earth outside, where the sky new no limits, and neither did the abyss.

“My gratitude for the help this time round. Once you think the time is ripe, let me know of your request from me.” Lin Fan thanked Huang Linger.

“Yes. Even though the Mythical Parasol Tree is the one and only, it is still a seedling as of now. Hence, it should not come to any greater harm. Otherwise, even I might not be able to help you when that time comes.” Huang Linger cautioned Lin Fan earnestly.

At the same time, she was filled with curiosity towards Lin Fan. Just what sort of occurrences had he undergone for the Mythical Parasol Tree to turn as such?

If not for the Life Fluid that was left behind from the ancient times, it would be of paramount difficulty for the Mythical Parasol Tree to recover.

“Yes, understood.” Lin Fan nodded his head. This Mythical Parasol Tree was just a seedling. Even if it could produce its own lifeforce, its capabilities were limited, and its speed was slow. Seemed like he had to groom it further for it to blossom before he could truly understand its potential.

But Lin Fan was puzzled. Just what sort of nutrients were required for the tree to grow? Even Huang Linger had no clue about that. He could not help but admit that this was a troubling affair indeed.

Lin Fan left into the distance…

Looking at Lin Fan’s departure, Huang Linger’s eyes shimmered with a look of thirst. At the same time, she revealed a look of deep sorrow towards this world.

After leaving the Manhuang Area, Lin Fan stood in the void and pondered.

What should he do now? Should he return to the sect first or head straight towards the barrier boundaries?

This was a question that was worth pondering over.

However, the thought of being able to return to Cangling Continent had Lin Fan’s blood boiling. To think that he had to be sent off like a cowardly tortoise back then. Now that he was already a heaven-defying existence, it was time to have those people pay the price!

“No. Damn it. The more I think about it, the more I can’t wait. I better head to Cangling Continent right away. Vengeance waits for no one. Now that it’s already been two years, how long more can I drag this for?” Lin Fan mumbled to himself.

With his current cultivation state, he only needed ten days to reach the barrier area. This was equivalent to him crossing half of the entire Dongling Continent.

Thank goodness that he was an utmost celestial upper level right now. Otherwise, he would require months before he could arrive at the location.

Instantly, Lin Fan delved into the void and headed west.

Ten days later…

Looking at the sight before him, Lin Fan smiled. He had arrived.

Before him stood a light barrier that stretched all the way into the Heavens, blocking everything before his path. This was the barrier that was set up by the Supreme Being.

Without the Supreme Being Token, there was no way one could pass through this place.

Time seemed to be slipping and flowing through the barrier. Lin Fan stretched out his hands and touched it gently.

‘Ding…discovered Heavenly Barrier. Unable to trespass.’

The moment Lin Fan took out the Supreme Being Token, everything changed.

‘Ding…discovered Supreme Being Token. Traverse to Cangling Continent or remove the Heavenly Barrier?’

Lin Fan was shocked momentarily. To think that something like this would happen! Based on the words of the Supreme Being, he would help Lin Fan to cross over upon activating the token.

To think that these options would come out immediately as he took out the token.

Seemed like the system was invincible indeed. Nothing could run away from the effects of the system.

But, Lin Fan knew the meaning behind the words of the Supreme Being. If there were indeed people as strong as he had mentioned in the other world, there was no way Lin Fan would be egoistic enough to assume that he could take them down.

But fair enough. Since he didn’t require the help of the Supreme Being now, he could save that amount of energy to learn some skills from the Supreme Being.

But at the same time, Lin Fan was hesitant. What if he activated the Supreme Being Token and used it to learn his skills. If the consciousness of the Supreme Being disappeared after that, wouldn’t the token disappear as well?

Without the token, even if he were to head to Cangling Continent, how would he ever return to Dongling Continent then?

Lin Fan did not want to take the risk for now. He would rather wait for everything to be settled before activating the Supreme Being Token.

‘Traverse.’

Lin Fan commented casually. He had already prepared for everything.

Instantly, he was covered by a beam of bright light. It beamed Lin Fan into the Heavenly Barrier. With that, Lin Fan’s figure disappeared entirely from the face of Dongling Continent.

…

Cangling Continent…

Within a dense patch of forest, the killing intent was chilling…

Two groups of people were running about, one being pursued by the other.

The group that was running ahead was filled with injuries. Each time they were struck with an attack, blood sprayed up into the air.

“Junior brothers and sisters! I’ll distract them! Take the chance and run away! No matter what, you guys must live on!” A young man faced their pursuers while wielding a longsword, with anger burning through his eyes. He was infuriated.

“No, senior brother! We must escape together!”

“Together? We’ll all die if we run together…”

Just as the young man was talking, a flash of bright light shot out from a distance. This light was filled with killing intent. Mixed with True Energy, it was targeted at one of the disciples ahead.

The disciple who was sprinting in escape turned around and looked at this flash in utmost horror.

Just then, the young man who was speaking earlier shifted his body and stood in the way of his junior brother and the attack.

“Senior brother…!”

Looking at his senior brother covering him, the disciple let out a look of shock. The flash of light struck out at the back of the young man. At the same time, the sound of metal clanging could be heard as the light struck.

“Don’t worry, I’m alright. Don’t get distracted. Continue running.” The young man could feel the blow on his back. Thankfully, he was able to withstand it still.

Looking at their senior brother blocking the blow with just his physical body, all the juniors let out a look of surprise. However, they recovered quickly. They were used to it.

Looking at the long sword that had flown away in the distance after deflecting the blow, the young man heaved a sigh of relief as he reminisced.

“Teacher, you’ve saved my life again once more…”

…

They continued running from their pursuers. They did not know how long it had been. The one thing they knew was that they would be killed if they had stopped.

“Juniors, don’t turn back! Your senior brother will block the path here for you!” The young man shouted.

“Senior brother Cao…!”

“Words will not help us in this situation. All of you must survive!”

The young man stopped in his tracks and took in a deep breath. With a look of firmness in his eyes, he glared at his pursuers. With a longsword in his hand, he blocked the path forward.

“Hmph, you can’t run anymore, can you?” The pursuers surrounded the young man and jeered coldly.

“To think that Hunyuan Sect is a proclaimed righteous sect, and you guys would do something like this such as exterminating the other sects…” The young man hollered.

“Ho? You’re a remnant sinner of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect. How dare you stand in our way. What a dreamer! Attack him!” The leader of this group from Hunyuan Sect ordered, waving his hand gently.

The young man took in a deep breath, “Even if I shall die today, I’ll bring you guys down with me!”

Multiple men surrounded the young man and leaped on him.

As time passed, the young man was finding it hard to withstand the blows anymore. If not for the fact that he had his physical body’s toughness, there was no way he could even withstand till right now…

Chapter 399: TEACHER……!

p>”This kid’s body is pretty tough! To think that he’s still not dead after enduring so many of our hits! That must be a Heaven graded skill that he’s using!” The disciples of the Hunyuan Sect were now filled with greed. They wanted to force out the way to cultivate this skill through this person.

The young man’s body was filled with blood. The hand which was wielding the longsword was beginning to tremble once more. Blood began to slowly slide down from the hilt of the sword to the ground.

“Kid, hand over the skill that you’ve learned, and we’ll grant you an easy death!” One of the Hunyuan Sect disciples glared at the young man coldly.

“Hmph, keep dreaming on!” The young man snorted coldly. This skill was handed down to him personally by his teacher. How could he pass it to anyone else?

In the past two years, this skill had saved his life countless of times.

“Senior brother…!”

Just then, the young man heard the cries of his juniors. His face changed as he looked around. He couldn’t help but scream out, “Why are you guys back here again?!”

“Senior brother, how can we let you face this alone! We’ll die together if we must!” The remaining disciples of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect called out.

“Hais…” The young man sighed exasperatedly. His face turned resolute, “Fine then. If that’s the case, we’ll fight them to the bitter end!”

“Loyal indeed. But what a pity! You guys have no way out today. You can consider handing this skill over. Maybe we might feel merciful and let you guys off because of that.” The leader of the Hunyuan Sect disciples jeered. He was really interested in this skill.

“Impossible…!” The young man hollered.

“Hmph. Asking for it! Kill them…!” The Hunyuan Sect leader’s face turned cold. Flicking his robes, he darted towards the other disciples of Scarlet Rainbow Sect.

The young man huddled together with the rest of his juniors. His face was grim at the scene before him.

Seemed like this was it for them.

Even though his cultivation state was at pericelestial level nine right now, all his enemies were people who had cultivation states above his. If not for his physical body state, he would have died long ago.

“Juniors, the next time we meet may be down in the afterworld.” The young man said.

“Senior brother, we’re not afraid! We’ll kill as many as we can before we die! We’ll let them know that we from the Scarlet Rainbow Sect are not pushovers!”

“That’s right!”

…

Looking at these vicious looking disciples who were lunging at them, the masses were quivering as they gripped their weapons tighter.

It would be a lie to say that they weren’t afraid. However, no matter what, they must let these guys from Hunyuan Sect pay the price.

“Kill…!”

…

Just as everyone was prepared to fight back, the sky suddenly crackled with lightning and a loud boom.

“Eh, what’s happening?”

Everyone’s faces changed, wondering what was happening. How could thunder start rumbling in the initially clear sky?

Everyone from Hunyuan Sect halted in their tracks as well. Looking up at the sky, they could not figure out what was going on. The same went for those from the Scarlet Rainbow Sect. Everyone was bewildered.

Why was this weird phenomenon happening in the sky?

“Senior brother, look over there!” Suddenly, a disciple of Scarlet Rainbow Sect pointed over into the distant sky and exclaimed. Everyone looked over with his exclamation. All they saw was a ripple in the nearby sky that was spreading out in all directions.

This ripple expanded rapidly, tearing through the void wherever it touched. With that, a surge of energy began to flow through the torn void.

Under everyone’s frightful gaze, a figure stepped out from the torn void.

He stood there, floating silently in the sky.

…

Experiencing the change in his surroundings, Lin Fan opened his eyes gently. His heart thumped excitedly as he looked at the scenery.

‘Cangling Continent, I’m back…’

This familiar scent… This familiar land… It had been a long time since he had seen this.

But Lin Fan was puzzled. Why did he reappear back here? Was the location he was sent to randomly selected from the entire place? Floating there silently, Lin Fan’s mind was in a mess, wondering what he should do.

Should he head out for the nine great sects?

Should he head over to the Yan Dynasty and kill the Yan Emperor?

Or should he start looking for the Heaven Queen?

All of this… All of this floated around Lin Fan’s mind back to back.

“Senior, save us…!” Just as Lin Fan was deep in his thoughts, a cry pulled him out from his stupor.

‘Someone’s screaming for help? Who is it?’

Within the forest…

Everyone from Hunyuan Sect and Scarlet Rainbow Sect glared at the mysterious figure in astonishment. Who the hell was this guy? How the hell did he appear suddenly in the sky?

But they had all witnessed him coming out through a gap in the void!

That was the power that belonged only to a greater celestial being!

Breaking out from his blank stupor, one of the Scarlet Rainbow Sect disciples decided to scream for help first. No matter who that other party was, now that the situation was as such, he could only give it a gamble!

If that man decided to leave this place just like this, then there would be no hope left for them at all.

“Senior brother, fellow disciples! This is our final chance! If that man is willing to help us, we may be able to survive this!” The disciple remarked.

Listening to his words, the other Scarlet Rainbow Sect disciples nodded in agreement before shouting out towards the sky as well.

“Senior, save us!”

…

Looking at these b*stards seeking help from an unknown stranger, the Hunyuan Sect disciples were worried momentarily. If this was a busybody here, then their operations might be disrupted.

However, they considered the fact that they were Hunyuan Sect disciples. Perhaps the other party may be wary of their sect’s name and leave because of it.

“Sinners! Do you guys think that you can escape the grasp of Hunyuan Sect?” The Hunyuan Sect leader lashed out loudly into the sky. Of course, these words were not meant for their prey here. It was meant to be ‘accidentally heard’ by the man in the sky.

One should consider their position when interfering with Hunyuan Sect affairs.

The moment the Scarlet Rainbow Sect disciples heard this, their faces froze up. How could they not get what this man meant? They then looked up at the figure in the sky nervously.

What if the other party decided to leave them alone after hearing these words?

But to their excitement, the figure began to approach closer.

The moment the Hunyuan Sect disciples saw this person approaching, they glanced at one another furtively.

…

Upon hearing those calls for help, Lin Fan headed over slowly. He had a strange feeling that he knew someone there. But yet, he could not recall who it was.

After all, it had been a really long time, and his memory was fuzzy right now. Hence, he decided to head over to take a look.

Upon hearing the words of the other party, he chuckled.

‘Threatening Yours Truly? That’s a first, eh?’

‘Hunyuan Sect… Sounds familiar. Sounds like one of the nine great sects, eh…?’

Slowly, Lin Fan approached from the void steadily. As he landed, he looked at both sides.

The Scarlet Rainbow Sect disciples looked at Lin Fan with great hopes. As for the Hunyuan Sect disciples, they glared at him warily.

But just then, the young man from Scarlet Rainbow Sect shuddered violently. He could not believe his very eyes.

He then headed up slowly.

He wanted to get closer.

He had to confirm who this man was!

“Senior brother…!” Looking at their senior brother heading forth, all the other Scarlet Rainbow Sect disciples called out in astonishment, wondering what was happening.

Their senior brother stood in front of the mysterious man.

And suddenly, something shocking happened.

Their senior brother knelt down in front of the mysterious man!

“TEACHER…!!!”
