The Strongest System - Chapter 425
Chapter 425: The Extremely Cruel Lin Fan
p>Lin Fan had not expected this to go this easily. After all, the Heart Demon Emperor was much stronger than the Blood Demon Emperor, with superior abilities as well.
In the hearts of every living being, the mental demons sapped and devoured them from within, before eventually luring men towards that dark, dark abyss.
“All of you, come over.” Looking at that raised up the crotch of the Heart Demon Emperor, Lin Fan was just about to chop it off when he recalled something.
At times, the process of recycling trash had to be complete.
“Teacher’s calling us…!” Looking at their teacher beckoning towards them, all of the students were bewildered.
They wondered what their teacher was up to.
But as long as their teacher was around, they naturally doubted nothing and scurried over.
“Teacher, what have you called us over for?” Looking at the fallen body of the Heart Demon Emperor and their teacher standing on its body imposingly, everyone asked courteously.
“What levels are your Monkey Steals Peaches at?” Lin Fan asked.
Was being a teacher an easy task for Lin Fan? Definitely not. But when he was having fun, he should definitely take his students along for the ride.
Everyone looked at one another, not understanding the meaning of their teacher’s question.
“Teacher, I’m on level 4.” Cao Tianjiao started with a little pride in his answer.
“Level 5.” Zhui Mo replied casually. There was nothing to be proud of. After all, he couldn’t even compare with the levels of his junior sisters. What was there to be proud about?
“Level 3.” Xiaoze shook his head in embarrassment. At the same time, he was being drawn in slightly by the body of the Heart Demon Emperor.
Now that he was so close to the Heart Demon Emperor, he truly realized how massive the Heart Demon Emperor was. Even standing at a side, he could feel the horrific aura that was emanating from the Heart Demon Emperor.
“Teacher, I’m at level 6!” Han Mengmeng replied.
Lin Fan nodded his head as they replied one by one. However, after hearing the levels of Han Mengmeng and Liu Shuishui, he was shocked, with a look of disbelief.
But soon after, he gave off a knowing smile. In that instant, his mind had finally understood what was happening. Of course, these two would be at max level after stealing peaches day and night.
The moment he cast those knowing gazes to Xiaoze and Zang Tianhao, both of them lowered their heads in embarrassment. Seemed like their shameful acts had been…exposed.
“Alright, other than Han Mengmeng and Liu Shuishui, the rest of you head up to the dong of the Heart Demon Emperor and give it a good tug! Tug till you reach your utmost potentials!” Lin Fan gave off the orders.
The skill that he had imparted them, Monkey Steals Peaches, was a skill that couldn’t be trained using normal methods. It wasn’t something that could level up if one worked hard at cultivating. This was a skill that required actual combat experience.
And of course, the tougher the opponent, the higher the mastery one could obtain.
Now, other than the two girls present, none of the others had reached the peak level yet. Now that the chance was right in their faces, it would be such a waste to give up such an opportunity.
“Teacher, are we really going at it?” Zhu You’s face was stumped.
Taking a closer inspection, the dong of the Heart Demon Emperor was simply too huge! It was so big that it was almost disgusting!
“Of course, DUH! With such a good set of training materials here, if you were to miss it right now, you’d definitely regret it!” Lin Fan replied.
“I’ll start first…!” Xiaoze who had always wanted to turn stronger struck first.
‘Monkey Steals Peaches!’
A straightforward move without any nuances to it…
At the same time, Xiaoze could feel some energy surging through his Monkey Steals Peaches, as though it was about to breakthrough its bottleneck at any moment.
“Me too…!” Cao Tianjiao followed up.
“Me three!”
One by one, under Lin Fan’s heartened gazes, they continued on this ruthless path of cultivation making use of the Heart Demon Emperor.
And course, with a mechanical timing, the Faceless Sky Demon slapped down on the head of the Heart Demon Emperor every single minute without a second more or less.
‘Hais…’
Seeing this, Lin Fan could not help but sigh helplessly. What a sad life this Heart Demon Emperor was leading. Not only was he being trained up the moment he came out, he was being mutilated and tortured badly.
“Teacher, I’m at my peak level!”
“Me too…!”
…
By now, everyone had mastered their Monkey Steals Peaches to their highest possible level. This was absolutely the best feeling ever!
“Alright, that’ll do! All of you, head to one side. Once this Heart Demon Emperor wakes up, he’s definitely going to go ham.” Now that all his students had mastered their Monkey Steals Peaches, Lin Fan waved his hand and dismissed them off.
After all of them left, Lin Fan took up his Eternal Axe and heaved in a deep breath. He then aimed it at the groin of the Heart Demon Emperor and slammed down.
‘PSCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!’
A gigantic ‘heavenly pillar’ flew up into the air. In fact, it even twitched for a moment.
Sweeping his robes, Lin Fan kept that particular part into his storage.
‘Smelt…!’
As the Heaven and Earth opened up, Lin Fan tossed in everything. Both arms, both legs, that ‘heavenly pillar’, the head… Everything was thrown within.
‘Ding…congratulations on smelting.’
‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Heart Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood. 15 drops.’
‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Heart Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood. 20 drops.’
‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Heart Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood. 13 drops.’
…
Hearing these notifications of the system, Lin Fan was more than elated. Seemed like the level up was set in stone this time round for sure!
‘Devour…’
With that, Lin Fan tossed all the essence bloods into his tummy and started churning his Blood Sea. Instantly, the essence blood turned into a warm source of energy that made its way into his body slowly.
‘Ding…congratulations on leveling Blood Sea.’
‘Ding…Blood Sea Level 8.’
‘Soon…soon! Give me more!’
Lin Fan churned the essence blood of the Heart Demon Emperor relentlessly. The blood within his body was repeatedly boiling right now, as though it was a fiery dragon that was about to burst out. This was a sign of it shedding its skin.
Ever since the Firmament Blood had entered Lin Fan, he had not felt or sensed anything unusual about it. Hence, he had practically given up all hope on it. However, right now, he could sense an unknown energy that was rumbling up the Firmament Blood as well! He was definitely elated right now.
Even though it was just a little bit of presence, it gave Lin Fan infinite hope.
BOOM!
The blood dragon within his body that was formed by the blood aura had slammed itself against an internal door in his body, causing that loud booming sound. However, that door only shook gently, without anything being followed up.
“Holy sh*t. Must it really be so ruthless? To think that I would be stuck in such an awkward position even after using up so much essence blood of the Heart Demon Emperor!” Lin Fan frowned with displeasure.
This situation was similar to when someone was on the edge and was about to shoot, yet someone would use a rubber band to give the head a tight grip, preventing the shoot. One would have no choice but to hold it back in.
“Just what sort of skill is teacher cultivating?”
“I’ve got no idea, but that aura was simply way too fearsome!”
‘Teacher is teacher indeed. That state he’s in is definitely something that we can never hope to achieve.’
…
Upon opening his eyes, a blood glow shimmered and disappeared as Lin Fan’s brows creased.
“It’s not enough. Seems like it’ll be hard on you now, Heart Demon Emperor.” Looking at the body of the Heart Demon Emperor, Lin Fan could not help it either. He wondered how much more essence blood could be stored within the body of this Heart Demon Emperor.
If he still couldn’t succeed after this, then he would have to think of some other way to do it.
Chapter 426: I Know What I Must Do
p>Looking at the Heart Demon Emperor, who was being skinned by him like a piece of roast pork, Lin Fan did feel a little guilty, and could barely do it anymore. But oh well, one might as well forget it. Since the Heart Demon Emperor would still continue to deem him as an enemy no matter what from this day forth, what harm would it do to just chop off yet a few more parts. No problemo!
After all, the Heart Demon Emperor was an overlord of the Blood World, and his sustenance depended on demons of the heart.
That made him practically immortal. As long as there were demons in the hearts of living beings, the Heart Demon Emperor would never cease to exist.
The Blood World was a place filled with sinister and devious beings. As such, the heart demons had already been laid out all across the entire Blood World. This was the Heart Demon Emperor’s first visit to the Xuanhuang World. Hence, he had yet to plant any heart demons within the souls of the humans here.
Therefore, if Lin Fan were to kill the Heart Demon Emperor right now, the Heart Demon Emperor could not revive within the Xuanhuang World, but he would reappear within the Blood World instead
By now, the portions that Lin Fan had chopped off were shrouded by a black mist, slowly regenerating.
In fact, this ability was similar to Lin Fan’s Rebirth through Appendages right now. Both of them made use of one’s innate energy source to regenerate the defects of one’s body.
Lin Fan wondered if the Heart Demon Emperor still had any essence blood left. At the same time, he wondered how much essence blood these regenerated limbs would provide.
At this moment, the body of the Heart Demon Emperor was perfect as new once more.
Lifting the Eternal Axe, the brilliance of the axe gleamed through the skies. The poor Heart Demon Emperor had his limbs completely severed once more.
‘Heaven and Earth Smelt, smelt!’
‘Ding…congratulations on smelting.’
‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Heart Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood. 5 drops.’
‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Heart Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood. 4 drops.’
…
“Holy sh*t! Seems like I truly shouldn’t bear too much hope! This Heart Demon Emperor has really been squeezed dry!””
The collection this time round only amounted to a bit more than twenty drops of essence blood. Was this enough to break through that bottleneck barrier?
Lin Fan was silent for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes sparkled. ‘That’s it…!’
It had been an entire year.
The Blood Demon Emperor must have healed up quite a bit by now! If he were to pull that guy out for a good chopping this time round, perhaps that might stand a greater chance!
At the thought of this, Lin Fan chuckled.
Seemed like it was almost a crime for one’s brains to be this smart.
Patting his storage, the Blood Gates came out. Floating in the air, those doors scrawled with blood symbols gave off a frightening feeling.
The students who were standing at a distance were shocked by the appearance of this thing. The Blood Gates gave them a chilling sensation.
“What’s that stone door! That aura that’s emanated is extremely creepy!”
“No idea, but teacher brought it out so I suppose he’s going to do something with it?”
“Aiyo! Teacher is teacher indeed! Even the things he takes out are things that we can never understand!”
If these students had not met with their teacher once more, they might be feeling pretty proud of themselves. After all, they had made quite a substantial improvement within these two years. Some of them obtained opportunities, while others had experienced things that most would not have seen in their lifetime.
However, every single last bit of pride they had right now was totally smashed. Compared to their teacher, they were still like frogs in a well.
‘Tribute!’
‘Come on out, Blood Demon Emperor!’
Instantly, the energy grid line chains flew out of Lin Fan’s storage one by one. They coiled around in the skies before swimming into that abyssal underworld like a dragon.
At times, Lin Fan wondered who it was that was actually receiving these tributes. But he knew that it was not the Heaven’s Will for sure.
BOOM!
In that instant, those gigantic doors slammed open. Within that blood red Blood World, a bone-chilling aura was emitting outwards.
“Who is it that summons me, the Emperor?”
Before the Blood Demon Emperor had even appeared, that mighty and imposing voice was ringing out through Cangling Continent. From those Blood Gates, a gigantic scaly leg stepped out from within. The size of this leg was comparable to that of the Heart Demon Emperor.
Lin Fan’s students could only watch everything with a stunned look.
They had realized that yet another frightening existence was about to emerge from within those Blood Gates.
They wondered about the motives behind their teacher’s summoning of this terrifying existence from within the Blood World. Could it be that the Heart Demon Emperor was too strong, that teacher needed to summon this being to suppress the Heart Demon Emperor?!
This was the only reason they could think up of.
“It’s me, the Heart Demon Emperor! Long time no see, come on out!” Looking at the Blood Gates, Lin Fan sniggered.
“Okay…”
The Blood Demon Emperor had been living an easy life these days. Ever since he was tortured by that horrifying fella one year ago, he had understood the meaning of life.
One had better be a good and humble demon, keeping a low profile.
Therefore, each time someone summoned him through tribute, the Blood Demon Emperor would only just casually send out a single arm to take down everything, without putting on too much of a show.
Just as he was about to relax, he felt someone summoning him once more.
Of course, this had the Blood Demon Emperor pretty elated. After all, this was the type of life that he wanted.
Furthermore, this fella seemed to have provided a large amount of tribute this time around just to summon him. That made the Blood Demon Emperor especially excited.
There was finally another chance for him to experience the glory of the outside world once more. At the same time, he could finally show his glorious demeanor to the rest of the world.
He wanted the masses to revere and respect him!
Each time someone summoned him, those items would always be forcefully absorbed by the mysterious unknowns. However, this didn’t dampen the mood of the Blood Demon Emperor at all. Each time he exited the Blood World, he would enter a brand new world of experiences.
“Your majesty is here. Puny ant, where is your enemy?” The Blood Demon Emperor’s body had appeared out of into the Cangling Continent entirely. That towering colossal figure looked down upon the entire world. That mighty imposing look on his face revealed an intoxicated smile.
Indeed…the air outside here was fresh indeed.
The Blood Demon Emperor was extremely excited. He wondered what sort of enemy he would encounter this time round.
At the same time, how should he take down the enemy to show his true prowess? What should he do so that these puny beings would remember him deep within their hearts?
But at that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor heard a familiar voice. His heart skipped a beat. This voice was familiar yet foreign. It had been a long time since he had heard this voice.
“Hey, why aren’t you speaking, Blood Demon Emperor?”
That familiar and foreign voice rang out once more.
That resolute heart of the Blood Demon Emperor slowly recalled who this voice’s owner was. He began to break down…
“I-it can’t be, right…?” There was a void of ominous feeling within his heart right now.
In order to confirm the suspicions in his heart, the Blood Demon Emperor looked up into the skies. Taking in a deep breath, those contemptuous eyes slowly looked down.
And that single look was all it took.
That single ant-sized figure was waving to him.
“Heya! Blood Demon Emperor…!” Lin Fan was shouting and beaming brightly.
The Blood Demon Emperor raised his head once more. That imposing aura was no longer there anymore.
His expression was dazed.
Blood began to well up at the corner of his eyes.
A cold breeze blew by…
Two drops of blood tears dropped down onto the ground.
The Blood Demon Emperor knew what he had to do at this moment.
After all, he had already seen the tortured state of the Heart Demon Emperor lying at the side…
Chapter 427: A Wise Man Recognizes His Circumstances
p>”Why?” Looking up at the Heavens, the Blood Demon Emperor was filled with a sense of helplessness. Just what sort of sins had he committed to meet with this man once more?
Until now, he still couldn’t erase the scars of that traumatic incident a year earlier.
That was the saddest thing that had ever happened in his entire life. He thought that he would be spared from the torments after naming out the Heart Demon Emperor. But to think that it would be his turn once more after this terrifying man was done with the Heart Demon Emperor!
“Heavens…HEAVENS…! EARTH…! WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO YOU GUYS? WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME?” The Blood Demon Emperor was in tears. His heart was filled with sorrow.
If any being from the Blood World would have seen the state the Blood Demon Emperor is in right now, they would definitely be stunned. Was this still the mighty and imposing overlord of the Blood World? Where was his dignity? Where was his magnificence?
Was this still the Emperor they had feared and respected? Why the hell was he scared silly by just a puny human?
The Blood Demon Emperor took in a deep breath slowly. Sometimes, it was better for one to know their place.
Plop.
That mighty towering body had collapsed into a kneel on the ground. Those mighty kneecaps were bent right in front of Lin Fan. He had completely submitted and given in to Lin Fan.
That imposing, dominating demeanor wasn’t there anymore. All that replaced it was a sorrowful and melancholic look.
“Big bro…” The Blood Demon Emperor lowered his esteemed head. Those malicious eyes were trying their best to switch over to a gentle look as well.
In front of this human, the Blood Demon Emperor had given up completely. There was no need to resist at all.
The Blood Demon Emperor wasn’t someone who was afraid of a powerful opponent. In fact, death didn’t faze him either. If one could die easily, then he could accept it as well.
However, the main thing was that this man before him was simply a beast! He could definitely take him down easily, but nooooooo… he just wanted to torment him!
Chopping his head off!
Chopping his legs off!
Chopping his arms off!
Bloody hell!
He even chopped his groin off!
Who else in the world could be this ruthless and cruel?
Lin Fan’s students were entirely stumped by now.
To think that this powerful and frightening being would just kneel down before Lin Fan before their very eyes. Not only that, he was calling their teacher big bro!
Everything was way too surreal.
Just what sort of an existence was their teacher? How could such a horrifying being even submit before their teacher?
Respect…
The respect that these students had towards their teacher had now pierced through a whole new threshold.
This was the strongest backing they could ever hope for!
“Zhu You, your teacher is so strong!” Zhu You’s Missy’s face was already shocked earlier. However, upon the sight of this horrifying titan kneeling before Zhu You’s teacher, she was entirely flabbergasted.
“That’s right…” Zhu You was the same as well. He was deeply shocked by the scene before him, as though he could not believe everything before his very eyes.
Zhu You gave himself a good pinching to make sure that everything was real.
…
“Oh, Blood Demon Emperor…!” Looking at the actions of the Blood Demon Emperor, Lin Fan was speechless.
This was such an obedient attitude! He wasn’t even used to it!
If the Blood Demon Emperor had howled madly in anger, Lin Fan would have chopped down without hesitation. But now that the Blood Demon Emperor was behaving himself so nicely, Lin Fan did not even know where to start with.
After all, for an overlord of his position to be kneeling down before Lin Fan, wouldn’t it be overboard if Lin Fan were to just chop this guy apart just like that?
“Big bro, just call me Little Blood! That’ll do!” The Blood Demon Emperor’s heart was literally bleeding right now. No matter how many years it had been nor the events they had encountered, humans were just like puny lifeforms to them.
Even a greater celestial full cultivation being was nothing but a fat ant in front of them.
But to think that this human right here would be this strong… Way too strong! And not only was he strong, he was a sadist as well!
He was more of a demon than they demons themselves could be!
“Oh, Little Blood…!” Lin Fan intended to negotiate with the Blood Demon Emperor. After all, it wouldn’t be too nice for him as well to get nothing in return after summoning this fella out with all those tributes.
“Big bro, say no more. I understand…” The Blood Demon Emperor replied hurriedly. His body’s blood began to rumble as the essence blood floated up into the sky drop by drop.
“Big bro! These are offerings of your Little Blood right here!” The Blood Demon Emperor’s heart was clearer than anyone else. He knew that this guy was out for his essence blood.
Even though essence blood was precious, so what? Could he even refuse?
If he were to refuse, he would be chopped up. By then, not only would he be losing essence blood, he would be chopped for nothing as well. Looking at the tragic state of the Heart Demon Emperor right now, the Blood Demon Emperor was rooted in fear.
After contemplating for a moment, his best course of action was definitely to give up his essence blood.
Looking at the essence blood in the sky, Lin Fan’s face was stunned. Since when had the Blood Demon Emperor turned this tactful? To think that this guy would even understand his wishes before he had even made his request!
Indeed, a wise man submitted to his current circumstances.
After making a quick count, there was a total of 56 drops of essence blood.
Seemed like the Blood Demon Emperor had given it his all, not daring to hold back at all.
One year ago, the Blood Demon Emperor nearly suffered from anemia. Even though he had almost fully recovered after the entire year, how strong could he be?
Evidently, the Blood Demon Emperor truly gave it his all without withholding any single thing.
Floating in the air, Lin Fan’s tiny palms patted the shoulders of the Blood Demon Emperor.
“Hais, good lad. Good lad! Little Blood, seems like I wasn’t wrong about you! I promise you, I’ll never summon you out again. Also, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, let me know! I’ll summon him and take revenge for you!” Lin Fan felt that he shouldn’t go overboard right now. Since this guy was being so understanding, it would be unacceptable if he took too much advantage of this fella right here. Even he himself would despise himself by then.
“Big bro! I’m so grateful…! THANK YOU!” The Blood Demon Emperor broke down crying. These weren’t the tears of gratitude. This was a feeling of being released from captivity.
To the Blood Demon Emperor, that one single statement was more than enough: ‘I’ll never summon you out again’.
The Blood Demon Emperor was thoroughly touched by those words.
From here on forth, his life was finally safe!
He could finally live a peaceful life within the Blood World!
Sweeping his robes, Lin Fan kept all the essence blood.
“Right. Let me ask you… How did the Heart Demon Emperor come over here directly?” Lin Fan suddenly asked.
“That’s impossible, big bro! The Blood World is completely separate from this world! We can only come over if there are tributes. Even though the Heart Demon Emperor is strong, there’s no way he can break the barrier just like that.”
“Oh…” Lin Fan nodded his head. Seemed like the Blood Demon Emperor didn’t know what was going on either.
“But that’s right, big bro… There WAS indeed something that happened within the Blood World recently. It seems as though someone managed to communicate through to the core of the Blood World. But for now, there doesn’t seem to be anything weird that’s happening because of it.” The Blood Demon Emperor added hurriedly as he just recalled it.
Communicating with the source of the Blood World?
That was strange indeed.
“Alright, then I’ve got nothing for you anymore. Take this Heart Demon Emperor back with you as well. I’ll leave him in your care from now on. Don’t allow him to come out here ever again.” Lin Fan ordered.
“Yes, big bro! Don’t worry! I guarantee that there’ll be no issues!” Upon hearing these words, the Blood Demon Emperor was elated beyond words.
He could finally leave this place!
To the Blood Demon Emperor, this place was simply way too dangerous!
The Blood Demon Emperor had not done anything after coming out other than offering his essence blood. What a misfortune that he had to lose so much essence blood at one go!
But if this could save him from the future torment, then everything would definitely be worth it!
…
Chapter 428: Peasants Are Always Plotting Against The Emperor
p>The Blood Demon Emperor dragged the decrepit remains of the Heart Demon Emperor out of the place. Once the Heart Demon Emperor woke up, the Blood World would definitely be filled with a tragic howl for sure.
And just as Lin Fan predicted, after the Heart Demon Emperor woke up and took a look at his pitiful state, he was entirely stumped. Not only was his body’s essence blood sucked dry, he didn’t even know what the hell happened! The more he thought about it, the more confused he was.
And with that, the Heart Demon Emperor, who was in charge of all the heart demons, had a heart demon spawned within his own heart as well.
Of course, that was Lin Fan’s fault, down to the very last bit.
…
Looking at the 56 drops of essence blood from the Blood Demon Emperor, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a grin.
This was an exhilarating affair!
The 9th level of Blood Sea, Rebirth through Blood, should definitely show its glory once more in the hands of Lin Fan!
‘Swallow…!’
These little droplets of essence blood contained a violent form of energy. All of these were the powers of the Blood Demon Emperor. At the same time, there were a ton of negative emotions that were mixed within.
If any normal person were to consume these, they would be overwhelmed by the power, and implode from within. Even if they didn’t implode, they would definitely be taken over by all the negative emotions and feelings.
After all, the Blood World was an evil and sinister place.
Even though the Blood Demon Emperor might have prostrated before Lin Fan, one would be a fool to take the Blood Demon Emperor as a wimp.
After all, any character that could be an overlord within the Blood World would definitely be far from ordinary. In fact, just that mix of negative energy would be enough to drag one into the depths of the abyss.
If not for the fact that he had the system, even Lin Fan wouldn’t dare to devour all the essence blood at one go. In fact, there was even the essence blood of the Heart Demon Emperor to be taken into account.
In that instant…
Lin Fan’s blood aura rumbled massively, as a tuft of blood colored mist spread out from his body. A massive surge of blood energy burst out from Lin Fan’s body, coiling around the world.
Streams of warm energy gathered together until eventually, they formed a massive ocean of energy.
‘Time to give it one more shot. It must definitely work!’
He could feel the door of entry towards the 9th level of Blood Sea being loosened! Once he could achieve the 9th level, he would definitely be truly immortal!
With this amount of essence blood, if he still failed to succeed, then he might truly have to spend some time accumulating further.
BOOM!
In that instant, a blood colored dragon coiled itself around Lin Fan’s body. The blood within his body had boiled to a maximum point, and was rumbling continuously.
BOOM!
The combined essence blood of the Heart Demon Emperor and the Blood Demon Emperor churned immensely, producing a massive amount of energy. This surge of energy slammed at the door repeatedly.
The doors started opening…
‘Yes…!’
Just then, the void around Lin Fan started to ripple. A black robed figure appeared, emanating a strong blood aura across the sky.
This aura was familiar, as though Lin Fan had felt it before somewhere.
But right now, Lin Fan did not have the time to bother about this other party. His body was at a limit where it was ready to breakthrough! He definitely could not waste this opportunity! Success depended on this moment!
At the same time, Lin Fan was relieved. He was almost very nearly misled by Blood Sea.
To think that the difference in leveling between 8 and 9 was so great!
If not for the fact that he had summoned the Blood Demon Emperor as well, he might not be able to get to this state with just the essence blood of the Heart Demon Emperor alone!
“Take your time and breakthrough. I am not an enemy.” The figure that was floating in the sky told Lin Fan calmly.
Lin Fan shut his eyes gently and focused all his attention on the activity on hand.
BOOM!
A gigantic explosion imploded out from within Lin Fan’s body.
‘Complete…’
Lin Fan was overwhelmed with joy. It was as though the blood within his body had been given a thorough upgrade! With the infusion of the essence into his bloodstream at this moment, it increased the activity of his blood flow.
‘Ding…congratulations on leveling Blood Sea.’
‘Ding…congratulations on comprehending Blood Sea’s Rebirth through Blood state.’
…
At that moment, Lin Fan could feel an unspeakable joy within his heart. He had finally succeeded! With this, there was a greater sense of guarantee about his body from here on forth! At the same time, the thing that gave him an even greater sense of excitement was the fact that level 9 was not the final state of Blood Sea! Seemed like there was an even greater state that awaited him!
All of this served to demonstrate the unlimited potential of the system that he possessed…!
The figure in the void creased her brows. She could feel a terrifying source of power emanating from Lin Fan. This power was mysterious and strange. She wondered what sort of skill or art he was cultivating for him to produce such an incredible usage of it.
Lin Fan did not continue to delve into his state right now. He stood up and looked straight at the figure in the sky.
“Who are you?” Lin Fan asked.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve last met. Could it be that you’ve forgotten about me?” The black robed person pulled down her robe, finally revealing her true features.
“It’s you…!” Looking at the person before her, Lin Fan’s memory was jolted. Wasn’t this the woman who had paid his entrance fee into the Dead Demon City?
He could already tell that she was hiding her true abilities back then. To think that she was this strong?! Wasn’t this person in Dongling Continent? How the hell did she arrive at Cangling Continent?!
If not for the fact that there was only a single Supreme Being Token, he would have thought that she had a token as well!
“Well, allow me to reintroduce myself then. Blood Kill Sect’s 12th Level Master, Ye Han.”
“Oh, so you’re from Blood Kill Sect. I do have some sort of a connection with you guys I suppose.” Lin Fan chuckled. At the same time, he used his system to check it out carefully.
However, the results of his check had him creasing his brows.
“You broke through the barrier of Dongling Continent?” Lin Fan was getting warier by the second.
Dongling Continent had a barrier where no one could go beyond the cultivation state of a greater celestial full cultivation. However, this Ye Han before him had already broken through that limit and was an utmost celestial as well.
“Haven’t you broken through the Heavenly Barrier too?” Ye Han gave off an alluring and charming smile. However, the blood aura that was emanated from her was chilling and cold. This was definitely a ruthless person right here. She wasn’t someone to be underestimated.
“What do you want with me?” Lin Fan gave her a casual glance. He did not want to get too close to this person.
“I seek a cooperation.” Ye Han smiled gently, giving off a feeble impression. However, all of this was a façade. If anyone would dare to look down on her…chances were, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
“Cooperation? I think not. I’m used to being alone.” Lin Fan rejected her straight up.
“No, for the safety of Xuanhuang World, I THINK that you should cooperate with me. At the same time, I need a helper.” Ye Han looked at Lin Fan.
“Wait…your body. You have the stench of the Blood World…” Suddenly, Lin Fan’s face changed. His sharp senses immediately picked up something off with this Ye Han.
Ye Han giggled softly, “You’re different indeed. To think that you could even sense that.”
“Oh, I finally get it. You did not break down the barrier of Dongling Continent. You’ve entered the Blood World and communicated with the source. Using the power of the Blood World, you broke through the original cultivation state of Dongling Continent. At the same time, the reason why you’re able to come here is due to you traveling through the Blood World.”
At this point, Lin Fan finally understood. This was the reason why the Blood Demon Emperor would say that someone had managed to communicate through to the core of the Blood World. It was all the doing of this Ye Han.
“That’s right. And I’m sincere about working together with you. Since you’ve already guessed most of it, I won’t continue with that. The current Heaven’s Will of Dongling Continent is no longer the original Heaven’s Will. That is something that I’m sure you can already feel. However, the reason why I’m here is to discuss with you about something that concerns Dongling Continent.” Ye Han continued.
“Go on, I’m listening.” Lin Fan replied.
Ye Han’s brows creased. This guy had no sense of danger at all. But they could just forget that. Right now, this was the only person within the entire Dongling Continent who could have the power to do something.
“One year ago, the Heaven’s Will had sought me out and struck a deal with me…” Ye Han began nagging in front of Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was filled with drowsiness. It wasn’t because the story was boring. It was because, after listening to the entire story…what the f*ck had it got to do with him?!
…
“Stop, stop…stop right there! Gosh, even after everything you’ve said, I’ve got no idea what the hell you’re even trying to express. Can you just get to the main point?” Lin Fan waved his hand.
Ye Han looked at Lin Fan a little bitterly. This was the first time she had spoken so much to anybody in so many years of her life. To think that this person wouldn’t even allow her to finish! She did feel a little dejected within her heart.
She then continued, “I think that there’s going to be a really big conspiracy that will be happening in the near future.”
Lin Fan sighed. Here it was, yet another woman with a persecutory delusional disorder.
To put it simply, ‘There’s always a peasant that’s plotting against the Emperor.’
…
Chapter 429: To Think That You Can Still Tell After I’ve Hidden It This Well
p>”Do you doubt my words?” Ye Han’s brows creased. She was evidently displeased from Lin Fan’s reaction.
This was a grave matter, one that concerned the wellbeing of the entire Xuanhuang World. How could this guy not have any reaction at all? Could there have been an issue with the things she had been investigating?
“It’s not that I doubt them. But why do you seek to cooperate with me?” Lin Fan looked at Ye Han in disdain. It might be a little sticky for him to have to work with a woman with persecutory delusions.
Ye Han looked at Lin Fan. Those hurried eyes gradually darkened, as though she was reveling in her memories.
“Based on my investigation, I’ve found that you’re a pretty responsible and accountable man. Not only that, you’re someone with a sense of loyalty. Coupled with the fact that you’re a top existence within the entire Dongling Continent, there would definitely be a greater chance of success if we were to work together. Does this reason satisfy you?” Ye Han asked.
Lin Fan placed his hands behind his back and reared back his head. A gentle breeze blew past as his long locks flew in the air. All of this only served to have Lin Fan look ever more elegant, mysterious, and deep.
“To think that these wonderful qualities of mine that I’ve tried so hard to hide deep within me have been uncovered by you. I’ve got to admit, you’ve got a good eye and sharp senses indeed to discover them. This tells me that you’re an extremely meticulous person. Fair enough then! I’ll work together with you. This is all for the sake of Xuanhuang World’s inhabitants!”
“After all, if I don’t enter Hell, who would? Justice shall be served. Evil shall never triumph over the righteous! Of course, I’ve sensed the changes in the Heaven’s Will.” Lin Fan swept his robes, showing an air of righteousness.
“Good. I haven’t made a wrong judgment of your character. It’s really rare these days to have someone as just as you.” Upon hearing these words, Ye Han’s heart was filled with joy as well. She was secretly glad that she hadn’t misjudged Lin Fan.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Really nothing. After all, all of this is for the living beings of Xuanhuang World! To think that Level Master Ye could have such a cultivation state at such a young age. THAT is pretty impressive too!” Lin Fan praised Ye Han back without any bit of shame.
“Oh, it’s nothing noteworthy. What I have is the power that’s passed down from all the different generations of ancestors. It is also a great fortune that I am able to enter the Blood World to communicate through to the source with this coincidental power. How can I compare to someone like you who could break through the Heavenly Barrier with his own abilities?” Upon hearing the praises from the other party, even though Ye Han’s face was nonchalant, she was actually blossoming with flowers of happiness within her heart.
Lin Fan already had an idea in his mind. This so-called 12th Level Master of Blood Kill Sect seemed a little retarded. Furthermore, she was a nag! Could it be that she hadn’t had anyone to talk to for so many years?
And just like that, the both of them exchanged polite praises, wasting a huge ton of time rambling.
But in actual fact, Lin Fan was pretty on the spot. As the 12th Level Master of Blood Kill Sect, Ye Han was in charge of all the other 11 levels. Usually, she would be hidden under her black robes. Her words would be frosty and cold. Other than spending her time on cultivation, she would be spending her time on MORE cultivation. She basically had no one to converse with at all.
The power of her ancestors was passed down the generations one after another. She spent most of her time channeling these energies to be used as her own. With the right opportunity from the Heaven’s Will that sent her into the Blood World, allowing her to communicate with the core, she managed to become an utmost celestial in one fell swoop.
“Based on the meaning of the Heaven’s Will actions, he had intended to use me to open up the Blood World. He would then merge the Blood World and Xuanhuang World together as one. However, I do not know the motive behind that.” Ye Han continued as she was filled with misgivings.
“Doesn’t matter. Things will sort themselves out when it comes to it. At the same time, within these three years, the Beast Spirit World will break through the barrier and invade the Dongling Continent. By then, not only do we have to deal with the Heaven’s Will, we’ll have to deal with the Beast Spirit World as well.” It was only now that Lin Fan knew of Heaven’s Will’s plan to merge Xuanhuang World with the Blood World. However, since he did not know the complete situation, he did not elaborate further on it.
“The Beast Spirit World will invade Dongling Continent?!” Upon hearing this, those exquisite features of Ye Han let out a look of disbelief.
“That’s right.” Lin Fan nodded his head.
“So, that’s the case. Seems like danger awaits us from all directions.” Ye Han could not help but sigh.
“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded his head. He then looked straight at Ye Han. There was a burning question in his mind, “Is there anything else?”
At the same time, Ye Han looked at Lin Fan blankly.
At that instant, the entire place was silent and quiet.
Awkwardness ensued.
Ye Han coughed gently, wanting to say something. Evidently, it had been a long time since she even had the chance to chat with someone. However, now that she wanted to gossip a little, she found herself not knowing what to say anymore.
This caused her to feel really awkward.
“Level Master Ye, would you want to return first?” Lin Fan asked.
“Then, our cooperation…”
“We’ll discuss that later.” Lin Fan replied calmly.
“Later. Right, later.” Ye Han understood Lin Fan’s meaning. He did not want to waste time talking to her any longer. Even though she could not help but feel a little sad about this, she opened up a gap in the void and entered the Blood World. Through the Blood World, she returned to Dongling Continent.
After Ye Han’s departure, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief.
Better not to get too close with girls like these who had persecutory delusions. What if she went bonkers and stabbed him in the back one day instead? That’d be a total tragedy!
…
“Teacher…”
Lin Fan’s students twerked their bottoms and scurried over. They were thoroughly filled with respect towards their teacher’s domineering acts. He was so damn bloody cool!
“Teacher, you’re simply too strong!” Han Mengmeng looked at Lin Fan with admiration.
Lin Fan smiled gently, “Remain humble…”
“Not only is our teacher so strong, he’s also so humble! There’s really so much that we ought to learn from him!” Cao Tianjiao knew that the only way to life was to aslick one’s superiors. Hence, he was licking up Lin Fan’s as with utmost fervor.
“Tianjiao, some things should just be kept in the heart. Once you say them out, it will become embarrassing.” Lin Fan’s lips pursed into a smile.
Seemed like Cao Tianjiao truly understood Lin Fan.
“Teacher, are you going to take us away from here?” Xiaoze asked.
After Xiaoze’s question came out, everyone looked at Lin Fan in anticipation. All of them wanted to be able to follow their teacher day and night, listening to his teachings, walking onto the path towards the peak of their lives.
Looking at these eager looks of his students, Lin Fan went into deep thoughts for a moment before shaking his head.
“Not right now. A terrible calamity is about to befall Dongling Continent. There’s no point in me bringing you guys over. You guys just stay right here. Once your teacher is done with the affairs over there, I’ll relocate the sect over here.”
These students of his did not have a terribly high cultivation state.
Even if they went over with him to Dongling Continent, they would be nothing but cannon fodder.
Lin Fan knew that the path forward wouldn’t be so straightforward.
In fact, chances were that things might even end in a bloodbath.
Cao Tianjiao and the others could not hide their looks of disappointment. But, they knew in their hearts that their cultivation states were too low. Even if they were to head over now, they’d be nothing but burdens. With that, they didn’t say anything anymore. All they could hope for was for themselves to continue working hard and improving their cultivation states, so that they might be able to share a little of their teacher’s burdens one day.
“All of you, head to the Saint Devil Sect first. Hide beneath the foot of the mountain. Once everything is settled over there, I’ll return here for you guys. It’s time for me to return to Dongling Continent.”
…
Under the reluctant gazes of his students, Lin Fan tore through the voids and headed towards the Heavenly Barrier. Leaving these students had Lin Fan heaving a sigh of relief as well. At times, it must be really sinful to be this popular.
Remembering those unwilling looks on his student’s faces, Lin Fan truly knew how much he was adored by them.
If one could ever live with the popularity of Lin Fan, they should most definitely be satisfied with life.
But for Lin Fan, this wasn’t enough just yet. Seemed like he had to work harder!
Chapter 430: Crafting Success, But Here Comes Trouble
p>Ever since Lin Fan returned from Cangling Continent, he had not done anything at all. Even though the issue of the Beast Spirit World was on his mind, he didn’t know when they would actually strike.
If he were to live life daily with such pressure on his mind, wouldn’t that be a tormented life? He might as well just live life normally.
Regarding this issue, Lin Fan had already raised it up with Grandmaster Yan and the others. Even though the descent of the Beast Spirit World would definitely be a calamity for all the living beings of Dongling Continent, there was nothing much they could do about it right now.
After all, Dongling Continent was such a huge place! Just the population alone could be comparable to the number of stars in the sky. If the Beast Spirit World were to invade from all directions, there was no way Lin Fan could save everyone.
Therefore, for something so headache inducing, Lin Fan would rather hand it over to Grandmaster Yan and the others.
Hence, Lin Fan’s personal life was relaxed daily, focused on educating his two young disciples.
One month later…
Lin Fan wanted to craft a treasure.
This idea had already been planted within Lin Fan’s mind for a long time now. Now that a month had passed, Lin Fan had gathered a number of materials. Even though there was no guarantee for him to create it completely, he could definitely create a prototype at least.
Sweeping his robes, all sorts of treasures appeared before him.
Heavenly Supporting Mythical Wood, Deep Abyss Water, Dark Gold Dragon’s Stone et cetera…
The sorts of treasures that appeared before Lin Fan were things people would definitely duel to their deaths just to get their hands on any one of them.
‘Activate Weapon Crafting.’
Initially, the system’s weapon crafting skill required Lin Fan to select the ingredients he wanted. However, right now, he had invented a new way to craft weapons.
Using Lin Fan as a center, all the treasure arrays circled around him.
Beckoning with his finger, the Heavenly Supporting Mythical Wood floated over. The first task was to sculpt the general shape.
The Heavenly Supporting Mythical Wood was an extremely rare treasure. In fact, even Glory Sect did not possess it at all. This was something that Lin Fan had painstakingly found after making a personal trip to a forbidden ground.
Within a weapon crafting flame, the shape of the Heavenly Supporting Mythical Wood repeatedly changed before melting slowly.
‘Regroup.’
Lin Fan rinsed it with some Deep Abyss Water before adding in the Dark Gold Dragon’s Stone and dozens of other precious treasures. Lin Fan’s idea was to create a country of his own. The source of his inspiration was from that skill, Demon City in a Palm.
Under the smelting heat of the weapon crafting flame, the shape of a city began to form gradually.
Looking at this city that was floating before him, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a smile. This was the first small step to success. But, he was still a long way from completion.
The Heaven and Earth possessed the five elements. A city could be a world of its own. However, it could not be considered as completed unless it possessed all five elements.
‘Pseudo Five Spirits.’
Ever since Lin Fan had obtained these Pseudo Five Spirits, they had been in his storage doing nothing. It was time to give it a shot.
Upon adding the Pseudo Five Spirits into the mix, a strange phenomenon happened. The semi-finished object began to crack repeatedly, looking as though it could crumble into dust at any moment.
“Holy shit! Don’t tell me that it’s going to fail this easily?!” Lin Fan was stunned.
“Wait, that’s right. The five elements complement and repel one another. Perhaps it’s got something to do with my arrangement of them.” With this thought crossing his mind, Lin Fan hurriedly rearranged them.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. Under the command of Lin Fan’s fingers, the Pseudo Five Spirits began to change positions repeatedly. Eventually, upon being seated in their respective suitable positions, that cracked treasure began to recover. Interlinking and coiling with one another, the five sources of energy began to complement and boost one another.
“Now’s the time for the final step. If this works, then this semi-completed treasure can finally be finished.”
Even though the big ancient demon had already perished, the massive power that resided within its body still existed.
If not for that legendary weapon, Seven Realms, Lin Fan would truly not have been able to take down this big ancient demon. In fact, even the current him might not be able to guarantee victory against that demon.
‘Heaven and Earth Smelt, smelt!’
With that, Lin Fan tossed the colossal titanic body of the big ancient demon within the smelt.
‘Ding…congratulations on smelting.’
‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining Soul of the Big Ancient Demon.’
A soul of a sinister demonic aura floated gently before Lin Fan. This soul seemed to be in a daze. It was yet to awaken, and seemed as though it was within a state of chaos.
‘Fuse.’
Lin Fan was going to use the soul of the big ancient demon as the treasure spirit of the treasure.
No matter how high level the precious treasures of Xuanhuang World were, all of them were like dead objects. However, once a treasure possessed a treasure spirit, it would generate limitless potential.
The moment the soul of the big ancient demon fused into the treasure, the treasure seemed to have come alive completely. Lin Fan could feel a sense of life rumbling within the treasure.
Perhaps, the semi-finished treasure was truly going to be completed!
Looking at the treasure repeatedly swirling before his very eyes while giving off a series of demonic aura, Lin Fan was filled with glee. Communicating with the Mythical Parasol Tree, Lin Fan abstracted a strain of lifeforce and tossed it within the Demon City.
BOOM!
A bright light emitted out in all directions as a massive aura encompassed the Demon City.
‘Ding…congratulations on creating a semi-finished pseudo-Legendary Weapon.’
…
Everyone from Glory Sect were startled by this massive aura.
“What’s that lad up to again?” Grandmaster Yan had long sensed that the aura around that area was a little strange. At the same time, he was curious towards the object that Lin Fan was creating.
As for the other Senior Elders, they were equally astonished. However, they broke off into chuckles not long after. They were already used to this lad’s magical ways of things.
Recently, all of them had been busy trying to communicate with the other sects. Some of the sects agreed to cooperate once they considered the greater picture. However, while some other sects agreed verbally, Glory Sect knew that they did not really put the matter in their minds.
…
Lin Fan was exhilarated. From the system’s notifications, he knew that his hard work had paid off!
Semi-finished pseudo-legendary weapon?!
What the hell was up with this though?!
Not only was it pseudo, it was semi-finished! This…!
Lin Fan was speechless.
Thinking back to the Nine Five Legendary Brick and Seven Realms, both of them were made up of all sorts of motley materials! None of them could be compared to this Demon City.
But to think that this Demon City would still be considered a semi-finished pseudo-legendary weapon! Lin Fan was exasperated right now. Seemed like luck was a significant component of one’s performance as well.
But no matter what, this was just an experiment. And the experiment paid off.
One had to use their own creative juices to craft weapons.
Lin Fan would not allow his precious Demon City to just remain as such. He then started thinking of ways to improve on the strength and power of his Demon City.
‘Twisting Heaven and Earth!’
‘True Origins Crushing Kick!’
‘Biggra!’
…
Lin Fan had an idea to fuse all of these things within the Demon City as well. However, that couldn’t be achieved. Hence, he could only sigh helplessly.
Seemed like he had to take this the slow way.
Yet, another month later…
“HAHA…finally, I’ve done it!”
This day, Lin Fan pushed open the doors from his house and stepped forth. After multiple trials and errors, he had finally boosted the capabilities of his Demon City!
If he wanted to continue improving on the strength of this legendary weapon, the only way was to look for even more precious treasures. At the same time, he would need to search for the true five spirits and fuse them with it. With that, Lin Fan had the utmost confidence that he could turn this Demon City into the best pseudo-legendary weapon there was.
Suddenly, Grandmaster Yan and the Senior Elders rushed over from all directions.
“Everyone, I’ve done it!” Lin Fan beamed at them brightly.
However, upon looking at their expressions, his heart skipped a beat. Had something happened?
“They’re here…” Grandmaster Yan’s face was grim. To think that it had happened this quickly without any signs of warnings at all.
“So quickly?” Lin Fan pushed down the excitement in his heart, and his face turned solemn as well.
“Yes.”
This so-called ‘They’re here’ could only refer to one thing.
The Beast Spirit World invasion had begun.
Chapter 431: A Fart To Shock The World
p>Dongling Continent, at a little village near the boundaries…
This was a village that was secluded from the rest of the world. People here were relaxed and at ease, far from the scuffles and conflicts of the outside world.
BOOM!
Just then, at a far end edge of the village, a rip suddenly appeared and tore through the void. A gap of a few thousand feet suddenly appeared in this village, which was secluded away from the rest of the world.
Within that gap, black mist rumbled ominously, as though countless demons and devils were about to emerge out from within.
All these simple villagers immediately let down every single thing they were working on and looked at this gap in shock.
They had no idea in the least bit what was about to happen.
‘ROAR!’
Suddenly, a series of roars came out from within, booming through the void.
Upon hearing these roars, these simple villagers were filled with horror. The color drained from their faces, and all the kids ran towards their parents to hide behind them.
“Finally, we’re out…!”
Just then, a bunch of massive beasts came out from within the void. These beasts were burning with pitch black flames on their bodies. Towering and imposing, they darted towards the humans.
“AHHHH…!!! MONSTERS ARE HERE…!”
“RUN!”
“HELP US…!”
All these simple villagers could only run around in terror. However, in the eyes of these beasts, they were like fishes on a chopping board.
“HAHA…! Human fruits are the best indeed!” An extremely malevolent looking beast had used his sharp fingernail to pierce through a person’s head. Holding this person up like a barbequed meat, he devoured the body whole into his tummy.
All these villagers in this small village were eventually cornered. One by one, all of these malicious beasts glared at them with a thirsty look in their eyes.
“All of these humans are mine!” That malevolent beast from earlier glared over at these bunch of humans. Opening his wide mouth, he was intent on devouring all these humans in one mouthful.
BAM!
Suddenly, a gigantic flaming red hand slammed down on the head of that beast. Blood and meat splashed all over. That malevolent beast from earlier had died just like that.
“Whoever dares to consume any human beings shall die.” A mighty towering colossal beast with exceptional aura howled into the sky.
If Lin Fan were around, he would have recognized this fella with a single look.
This was the Flame Overlord who was born from a mix of a human and a beast.
Under the mighty command of the Flame Overlord, all the other beasts quivered in fear, not daring to resist.
The Flame Overlord looked down at the entire place. He then looked into the distance. Sensing a familiar aura, he called out, “All of you, follow me.”
BOOM!
BOOM!
The ground shuddered with every single step that these beasts took, as the massive group followed the Flame Overlord into the distance.
…
One by one, these gaps appeared in many places all around Dongling Continent.
Some of the villages were not as fortunate as that secluded one.
Wherever these beasts passed, nothing was left alive or intact. All of the humans were destroyed instantly by the rush of these beasts. In fact, they died extremely horrible deaths.
All of them were devoured whole.
There was a huge population in the Great Sheng Dynasty. This was one of the biggest dynasties in the entire Dongling Continent.
But at this moment, three gaps had appeared outside the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Everyone was stunned by the appearance of these gaps, from which, the roaring of beasts could constantly be heard.
Within an inn in the Great Sheng Dynasty…
Seeing this scene, a young man shuddered, and then appeared at the city walls of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Looking into the distance, he was astonished.
“So many mighty beasts! Could this be the end of the world?”
“I definitely can’t face them head-on. But, there’s no way I should let these beasts destroy this place! Since the direction of the wind is in my favor, seems like I have to use THAT move.”
The young man leaped up onto the city walls. Upon seeing this, the guards of the Great Sheng Dynasty urged this young man to head down immediately. However, this young man did not heed their advice.
Suddenly, right in front of the gazes of everyone present, the young man turned around. Positioning his butt facing outside the city, he looked at the masses, “Guys, get further away. Just in case you guys suffer from any collateral damage!”
‘POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT…!’
In that instant, the skies boomed out. This sound shook through the Heavens and Earth, causing everything to vibrate violently. An unknown yellow gas spurted out from the young man’s anus rapidly, filling up the entire skies instantly.
“Done.” Satisfied with his work, the young man clapped his hands together proudly.
Everyone looked into the distance. Seeing the scene before them, all of their jaws dropped apart in disbelief. To think that that massive army of beasts would all collapse under this single fart!
Just what sort of a fart was that for it to be this strong!?
Yao Wuxie was nonchalant towards the gazes of the audiences. He looked into the distance, “Brother Lin, seems like it’s time for me to look for you. This looks like something big is about to happen.”
Yao Wuxie had undergone a massive change in these past one to two years.
Even though he was still afraid of death and lazy, his power had grown tremendously. At the same time, he had found a way to control his special body type.
In the hands of Yao Wuxie, his Doomed Poison Body could finally unleash its fullest potential.
…
Glory Sect…
Lin Fan was having a big headache right now. Seemed like the Beast Spirit World was really unscrupulous indeed. To think that they would appear in such a wide range of areas. There was completely no chance for them to save or rescue anyone like that!
“Look over there…!” Grandmaster Yan’s face changed as he pointed out into the distance.
From a location not too far from Glory Sect, a gap of a few thousand feet had begun to open up.
Within the gap, Lin Fan could sense a horrifying presence.
Not only was this presence strong, it was familiar.
Indeed, it was as he had expected in his mind.
“Grandmaster, have the disciples hide away first. This battle isn’t something that they can handle.” Lin Fan said solemnly.
The beasts were uncountable. Besides, beasts were stronger than humans to begin with if they were on equal footing, way stronger. Unless one had a certain cultivation state or level, there was no way one could fight against a beast.
“Alright, have all of our disciples enter the secret chamber!” Grandmaster Yan pumped down the orders without hesitation.
“Let’s head over to check out the situation.” Lin Fan continued.
“Alright.”
Lin Fan and the others headed over towards the gap. Upon reaching the gap, they were dumbfounded by the sight before them.
Upon reaching there, mountains and mountains of beasts were pouring out of the gap densely. The moment they touched the ground below, nothing could grow in their vicinity.
“These beasts are different from the ones in our world. They’re much stronger in terms of power.” Lin Fan frowned. He was concerned.
Of course, there was no issue that these beasts were appearing around the Glory Sect. However, the presence of these beasts anywhere else would definitely spell trouble.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that nothing would be left alive.
“This is a calamity of Dongling Continent.” Suddenly, the void rippled, and Ye Han appeared from within.
“Level Master Ye, how’s the situation over at Cangling Continent?” Lin Fan asked.
“I’ve already headed over to check. Everything’s fine at Cangling Continent.” Ye Han’s face was grim and serious as well. She had not expected things to turn out like this just months after parting from Lin Fan.
“That’s great.” Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. If both sides were facing the same situation, then there was practically no chance of salvation at all.
“Demon City!”
Now that his treasure had already been completed, Lin Fan had yet to have the chance to try it out. This was probably the best time for it.
“What’s that treasure?” Upon taking a look at Demon City, Ye Han was stunned.
“Just something I’ve crafted casually.” Lin Fan replied calmly.
Focusing his gaze, he continued, “Suppress them.”
BOOM!
Suddenly, the Demon City began to expand rapidly. Covering the entire sky, a boundless amount of demonic aura burst out from within, as it crashed down towards the ground.
‘Ding…congratulations on killing lesser celestial beast.’
…
The notifications from the system rang out like a phone call. Lin Fan muted it immediately. This was not the time to be bothered about these.
And just then, Lin Fan’s face changed as he jumped into the void.
“Level Master Ye, help me to take care of Glory Sect. I’ll be back in a jiffy.” Lin Fan requested.
“Alright.” Ye Han nodded her head without hesitation.
Other than Lin Fan, Ye Han was probably the strongest in the Dongling Continent right now. With her around to hold the fort, Lin Fan could be at ease.
Chapter 432: Let The Battle Begin
p>Ever since Lin Fan left, all of the old folks of Glory Sect remaining were a little unhappy. How could he ask a young girl to look after Glory Sect for him? Wasn’t that just looking down on them?
Looking at these people, Ye Han’s lips pursed into a smile.
She could tell that these people were definitely curious about her. With that, she opened up her arms and began conversing with everyone.
Once the conversation began, there was no end to it…
Everyone from Glory Sect were left stumped.
…
Ripping through the void, Lin Fan rushed towards Xuanjian Sect. He had felt the feedback of a powerful source of energy. That was the power that was reflected from the bracelet he had given to Xuan Yunxian.
Obviously, this meant that Yunxian must be under attack! Lin Fan wasn’t that worried about that cheap son of his and Yunxian though. However, no matter what, Xuanjian Sect was Yunxian’s sect. He had to head there to give her a hand.
If the losses were grave, Yunxian would definitely be heartbroken.
It was a good thing that Xuanjian Sect was located in a good place. They were located at the top edge of the ‘Heaven Sword’. Therefore, even if the beasts wanted to rush up, they would need some time to do that.
Yunxian and the other Senior Elders were holding the fort against the onslaught of the beasts right now.
When the gap had opened up beside Xuanjian Sect, they were totally stumped. By the time they saw the beasts approaching, fear began to bubble within their hearts quickly.
These beasts bore a significant difference compared to the beasts that resided within Dongling Continent usually.
They were way stronger.
And the most shocking thing was the fact that there were even humanoid beasts within them.
In the records of the sect, humanoid beasts were one of the strongest types of beasts ever. They could cultivate just like any other human being. Also, they had the same intelligence as humans and they could adapt and think.
All the other Xuanjian Sect disciples were hiding at this moment. None of them could offer any help at all. Any one of these beasts could definitely kill them in a single shot.
“Grandmaster, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer!” After slaying a beast, one of the Senior Elders remarked out in worry.
“This is no small matter right now. If not for the fact that Grandmaster Yan had headed over to inform us about this possibility months prior, Xuanjian Sect may have already been destroyed!” The previous Grandmaster said.
Upon hearing the news that the Beast Spirit World might descend upon them months ago, all of them were shocked silly.
What sort of a place was the Beast Spirit World? To them, it was a place where all the ferocious and deadly beasts resided. Not only that, their population was huge. The sheer number of beasts in that world could even be comparable to the number of humans in Xuanhuang World.
‘ROAR…!’
That maddened roar rang through the entire skies. Within the void, the beasts gushed out.
“The Hell race of the Beast Spirit World swears to flatten the entire Xuanhuang World!” Just then, a humanoid beast appeared at the entrance of the gap.
That malevolent and titanic body of his looked down at the world in disdain. There were three separate heads that were howling out wildly, bringing along with them an energy of thunder. It was as though a god of destruction had descended upon Xuanjian Sect itself.
“Not good. Someone strong has arrived.” Everyone’s faces changed. The powerful aura that was emanated from that humanoid beast caused all of their hearts to skip a beat.
Looking at that towering colossal figure, Liu Linfeng’s face changed as well.
“Daddy, grant me strength!” Liu Linfeng screamed into the skies. He wanted to head up to help, but he knew that he was definitely no match for these beasts with his current strength.
“Senior Brother, it’s useless…” One of the junior sisters beside him commented in a frightened tone.
“Your a*s! Who says that it’s useless?” Liu Linfeng refused to believe that it wouldn’t work and screamed out once more.
“DADDY, GRANT ME STRENGTH!”
…
“Hais, seems like it’s really useless.” As time passed, Liu Linfeng gradually began to give up as well. He then plopped his bum down onto the ground helplessly.
And just then, something happened.
“Grandmaster, watch out!” Everyone exclaimed in shock as that humanoid beast had sent a fist pummelling down.
Xuan Yunxian’s face changed as well. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late. She had just slain a single beast earlier on, but the humanoid beast took this chance to send a fist flying her way.
BAM!
Xuan Yunxian awaited death. However, at that moment, she found a bright burst of light shielding her from the punch of the beast.
“He’s the one who saved me.” Xuan Yunxian reacted back immediately. Looking at the glowing beam on her bracelet right now that had deflected the blow, her face was filled with reminiscence.
“Human, let’s see how long more you can hold on!” Upon seeing this scene, the humanoid beast of the Hell race reared his head up and howled into the sky. He then sent another fist with tremendous force pummelling down, determined to kill this human.
…
“INSOLENT…!” Just then, Lin Fan, who was tearing through the void, was thoroughly incensed seeing this scene.
“DADDY’S HERE…!” Listening to this voice, Liu Linfeng jumped up immediately and hopped in joy.
Upon hearing this voice, Xuan Yunxian’s face was filled with excitement as well, as she looked into the distance.
Lin Fan’s cultivation state was already beyond the world. As such, the speed at which he tore through the void was also horrifying as well. The difference between the speed of an utmost celestial and a greater celestial was like Heaven and Earth.
Even though the distance from Glory Sect to Xuanjian Sect was pretty far, it was practically just a short travel time for Lin Fan.
BAM!
Lin Fan had appeared right in front of Xuan Yunxian. Stopping the punch of the Hell race’s humanoid beast with his single hand, Lin Fan turned around and grinned, “Don’t worry. I’m here.”
Just that simple assurance was enough to set Xuan Yunxian completely at ease.
‘Nirvana Finger.’
A massive amount of energy surged out from within Lin Fan’s body.
“How could that be…?!” The Hell’s race humanoid beast tilted his head up and yelled. He could feel the destructive power of that skill. He refused to believe that a human could possess such formidable strength!
The energy surged through the body of the humanoid beast all over, wreaking havoc and tearing him apart bit by bit.
“NO…!” The humanoid beast of the Hell’s race let out a final howl of indignance.
‘Ding…congratulations on killing greater celestial full cultivation beast.’
‘Ding…experience points +…’
Sweeping his robes, Lin Fan tossed the body of the entire humanoid beast into the Heaven and Earth Smelt.
‘Ding…congratulations on smelting.’
‘Ding…congratulations on obtaining 30 energy grid line chains.’
…
The beasts who had appeared out of the void were horrified to see their leader being taken down by this human being. With that, all of them scurried off in all directions, trying to make a break for it.
“Hmph, want to run? Dream on.”
‘Firmament…!’ Lifting up his Eternal Axe and slamming down, the entire Earth split apart. That axe, which wielded enough force to destroy everything, cut through the entire place, killing all the beasts at once.
“DADDY…!” Looking at Lin Fan’s heroic actions, Liu Linfeng was captivated, and started running towards him.
“Time is tight. All of you follow me back to Glory Sect.” Lin Fan sent Liu Linfeng flying with a single kick. Given the current circumstances, he couldn’t waste any time in letting this cheap son hug his leg anymore.
Looking at how his Daddy had treated him, Liu Linfeng plopped his bum down onto the ground once more, looking at Lin Fan with a sorrowful look, evidently dejected.
“Nothing must happen to you.” Xuan Yunxian gripped Lin Fan’s wrist tightly, revealing a look of deep concern.
Lin Fan looked at Xuan Yunxian and nodded his head, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Everything shall pass.”
“Yes, I believe in you.”
With that, Lin Fan swept his robes and brought everyone tearing through the void with him, towards Glory Sect.
The world was a huge place. Lin Fan was not a god. There was no way he could save everyone.
Furthermore, given the current situation, he was sure that there must be a big BOSS hidden somewhere in the depths, waiting for him.
…
Within a mysterious place of the Dongling Continent was the hometown of the girl whom Lin Fan had once mistaken as the Heaven Queen.
Four Elders were seated with their eyes closed.
Suddenly, they opened their eyes.
“Eventually, it has still returned.”
“That’s right. I’m here to retrieve my body.” Above the coffin in the middle of the tribute altar, a black robed person floated.
Looking at the black-robed figure, all four elders shuddered in fear. They then yelled out, “Feixue, run!”
Ni Feixue, who looked exactly like the Heaven Queen, walked out slowly. She glared at the black robed person, “You shouldn’t continue to create karma of killing.”
“Hmph.” The black robed person snorted coldly. With a massive surge of energy erupting out from the person, the entire islet was caged within.
…
Chapter 433: Stop Belittling Others!
p>”Not too good.”
In this short period of time, Lin Fan had already rescued a number of sects and dynasties. However, Dongling Continent was such a huge place. Even these number of rescues was just like using a cup of water to try extinguishing a raging fire.
The Beast Spirit World’s invasion was worse than anything Lin Fan could have imagined. Basically, the entire Dongling Continent was shrouded within this darkness.
Countless people had died under the cruel claws of these beasts. Many sects had sent out righteous crusades against these beasts as well. However, against the sheer number of beasts, there was only a limited amount of help they could provide.
“Why is it that the Beast Spirit World is invading Dongling Continent? If we can find the reason behind it all and the source of it, then everything can be solved.” Ye Han commented calmly.
“Lin Fan, what’s wrong? Could it be that you’ve thought of something?” Looking at Lin Fan frowning, Ye Han asked, knowing that something must have struck him.
Lin Fan did not reply. He had been pondering about something all this while.
He was around 80% sure that this entire thing had to do with the Ancient One.
The reason why Lin Fan had not smelted the Eternal Donger was because he didn’t want to use someone else’s dong. However, he realized that the Eternal Donger had been a little restless recently.
The only plausible reason for this must be that its owner had arrived. If that was truly the case, then this must be something extremely troubling for Lin Fan.
Who knew how strong the Ancient One would be.
“I’m asking you a question. Sometimes, there are issues that can’t be solved with a single person’s strength.” Ye Han was displeased at Lin Fan’s silence.
There were many good things about this guy. But one bad thing was the fact that he liked to keep things to himself.
“Little Fan, Level Master Ye is right. If you’ve got anything in your mind, please speak up. We can discuss about it.” Grandmaster Yan added on.
Some of the other Senior Elders felt the same way as well. At the same time, they felt that Little Fan was living a really rough life, keeping everything bottled up within himself.
“Little Fan, it can’t be that you think that we’re too old to help, hence your reluctance to tell us anything, right?” Senior Elder Wuya commented.
“No, it’s not that. It’s just that I don’t know how to say this out.” Lin Fan was a little exasperated. If he were to tell them that it was the Ancient One right now, wouldn’t they just sht their pants?
Just a single Eternal Arm had 100 energy grid line chains to it, not to talk about the other parts all added together.
“It’s alright, you can start slowly…” Everyone echoed in unison.
Just then, the mountain base of Glory Sect rumbled. Zong Hentian and the others retreated back with a look of fright. “Grandmaster, Junior Master. The beasts from outside are attacking here!”
“What? There are more?” Grandmaster Yan’s brows creased upon hearing this.
Lin Fan on the other hand was a little riled up that some beasts would still dare to charge up here, not knowing their place.
“Boss…!” Suddenly, at the entrance of the peak, a small little rotund kid dashed over.
Hearing this voice and looking at the figure, Lin Fan’s face changed, “Don’t worry guys. These beasts aren’t here to attack us.”
“Boss, I’ve finally found you! That fella has finally invaded Dongling Continent! I’ve brought all my people of my race over here!” The Flame Overlord reported.
“Little Fan, who’s this kid here?” Grandmaster Yan and the others were astonished, as they asked in bewilderment.
“This is the Flame Overlord. He’s one of the overlords of the Beast Spirit World.” Lin Fan gave them a short summary.
Ignoring the confused looks on their faces, he continued asking, “How many of them are here this time round?”
“Boss, it’s really no joke this time round! The entire Beast Spirit World has come altogether! Even though I’m an overlord with my entire Flame race under me, we are still nothing compared to the combined strength of the entire Beast Spirit World!” The Flame Overlord had already been trained up by Lin Fan. Hence, he was more loyal than ever. Even if things were ominous right now, he was filled with no fear.
“Holy fck. This is annoying.” Lin Fan shrugged his head, not knowing what to do.
Now that the entire Beast Spirit World had come altogether, who could stop them at all? In fact, no one here other than Ye Han could even keep their lives under an onslaught of the beasts!
Grandmaster Yan and the others checked out this kid keenly. The more they looked, the grimmer their faces got. Even though the aura was nothing to be alarmed about, there was a deep power hidden within, that was sending chills down their spines.
How could this kid be a living being of the Beast Spirit World!? That was totally unbelievable!
“Everyone, given the current circumstances, I guess we can only fight to our deaths. Also, unless anything unexpected happens, the leader who had brought the Beast Spirit World’s invasion should possess at least 500 energy grid line chains.” Disregarding whether or not everyone could take the news, Lin Fan laid bare his guess.
“WHAT? 500?!” With that speech, everyone’s jaws dropped to the ground in disbelief.
Even the thought of 500 energy grid line chains was just crushing their spirits entirely!
At this moment, they finally understood why Little Fan had been withholding the information at the start. After all, an enemy like this wasn’t someone they could deal with.
But the main point was, did Little Fan have the confidence?
Ye Han could feel her blood running cold as well. Even though she was an utmost celestial being right now, she did not have that many energy grid line chains either.
“If the opponent only has 500 energy grid line chains, I have the confidence to duke it out with him. However, if there’s more than that, I’m afraid I can’t guarantee anything.” Lin Fan commented with a worried look.
Furthermore, he knew that the Ancient One wasn’t the final enemy. His greatest concern right now was the Heaven’s Will. He was worried that even if he manged to take down the Ancient One, the Heaven’s Will might appear to clean him up when he’s weakened. That would be real trouble.
The moment Lin Fan’s words came out, the blood drained from everyone’s faces.
500 energy grid line chains and Little Fan could stand a chance still?!
“Little Fan, just how strong are you right now?” Grandmaster Yan asked while everyone else stared at Lin Fan blankly. To think that the lad they had saved back then had progressed to this state by now.
“Grandmaster, at this juncture, how strong I am is no longer the concern. What we should be bothered about is that the entire Beast Spirit World has descended upon us. Will we be able to hold them back?”
“This…” Everyone was speechless. That was a major question mark indeed.
Just as they were pondering, the void rippled once more and two figures walked out of it.
“Leave the Beast Spirit World to us.”
“It’s you guys!” Lin Fan’s face changed.
‘To think that things would escalate as such. This was definitely out of my calculations.”
The two people who had arrived were He Yuhan and Xia Youtian.
A year ago, Xia Youtian’s strength was not that great. To think that he had improved so drastically in just a single year’s time.
Greater celestial full cultivation state, with 135 energy grid line chains.
“Now that the Beast Spirit World has descended upon us, I can hold off the fort with him.” He Yuhan replied with confidence.
Xia Youtian looked at He Yuhan. His face was unsettled. He felt like he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t get the words out. In this period of time, he had a feeling that his Sister He would just leave him silently somehow.
Lin Fan glared at He Yuhan warily.
She did the same, “Trust me. This is my home after all.”
“Alright…” Lin Fan nodded his head eventually. Now that things had come to this, what else could he do?
Just with his strength alone, he didn’t have the confidence to settle the entire Beast Spirit World completely.
…
“Little Fan, what about us?” Grandmaster Yan and the others looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at Grandmaster Yan and the others. He wanted to say, ‘You guys go and find a good place and take a breather first.’ But eventually, he couldn’t bring himself to say such words.
“Complement the two of them and hold off against the Beast Spirit World. Leave the leader of the Beast Spirit World to me.” Lin Fan replied.
“Lin Fan, I can fight together with you.” Upon hearing Lin Fan’s words that he was going to face the leader alone, Ye Han was a little disgruntled.
No matter what, she was an utmost celestial as well.
“Forget it. Just hold off the Beast Spirit World together with them. That leader isn’t someone you can handle. With just a single skill, he should be able to slay you.” Lin Fan did not say these words to scare Ye Han. He was speaking the truth.
If the Ancient One truly had 500 energy grid line chains, even Ye Han, who had broken through to an utmost celestial, would be finger food for him.
“Can you stop belittling others!” Ye Han was riled. Wasn’t he just being condescending?!
“Level Master Ye, let’s just listen to Little Fan. Now’s not the time to act tough.” Grandmaster Yan intervened.
“Hmph…” Ye Han snorted coldly and turned around, not wanting to have anything more to say to them.
“Then that’s settled. Everyone, go and make your preparations. Three days later, our reward for victory shall be staying alive. But if we lose, we all die.’ Lin Fan wanted to lighten up the mood.
But now that things were like this, that was really quite the wish to wish for.
