The Strongest System - Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Attaining Azure Celestial Cultivation State

p>The righteous party was entirely dumbfounded right now. They had not expected things to turn out as such! What was that move just now? How did the landing of two punches on one’s chest cause such a devastating impact?

“What are you doing?” Duan Meng asked Mu Liang.

“Does it hurt?” Mu Liang’s fists were on Duan Meng’s nipples right now as he looked up and asked in anticipation.

“What do you think?”

…

Xu Wuxin was grasping at his chest and howling up to the Heavens. He could not believe that he would lose, but that pain was irresistibly horrible! Too painful! TOO PAINFUL!

It was so painful that he was almost breaking down right now!

Lin Fan came before Xu Wuxin. To him, this was just a huge chunk of experience points.

Azure celestial lower level. Just how much experience points was this worth? Especially now that he still had some time left on this strongest BUFF, just how much could he actually gain from this?

This was Lin Fan’s most anticipated event right now.

As long as there were experience points, there was nothing in this world he couldn’t achieve.

No matter how strong the opponent might be, all of them could just hold on to their regrets and perish before him.

“I AM…XU WUXIN FROM THE…VOID WORLD! YOU…CAN’T…!” Xu Wuxin was finding it difficult to speak right now. The pain was gnawing at his heart consistently. In fact, even just the mere act of breathing brought pain along with it.

With the Eternal Axe slung on his shoulders, Lin Fan looked at this Xu Wuxin, who was fully consumed by torment. He sniggered and used his hands to try to figure something out, “Hmm, should I start chopping you down from the left or the right side later? This is a really problematic issue to deal with.”

“YOU…!” Xu Wuxin wanted to resist. He wanted to bring Lin Fan down with him even if he had to die. However, these were still nothing but mere thoughts at the end of the day. After all, the pain right now was so overwhelming that he couldn’t even move a single finger, let alone do anything more.

“Big Brother Lin, kill him! Scum like him should die!” Mu Liang called out.

“That’s right. Lowlifes like him deserve nothing but death!” All the other party members agreed. There was nothing pitiable about someone like this.

…

“HAHAHA…! All of you guys want me dead! But to me, you’re all nothing but ants! So what if it’s the Void World? So what if it’s the thousands of worlds out there? All of this is just a dream and nothing else! Ever since I, Xu Wuxin, decided to tread on this path, I never regretted my decision! Even if you kill me, your lives won’t get any better!”

“The might of the ancient race isn’t something that you guys can imagine! How many people have tried overturning the ancient race over the tens of thousands of years? But what was the eventual outcome? Since you know that resistance is futile, you might as well submit! All you guys are doing is pushing everyone into an empty and endless abyss of doom!”

Xu Wuxin was laughing at this moment with a strange glint in his eyes. To think that he could manage to spout out all these words while enduring the pain!

Lin Fan was thoroughly impressed by that. But he did not know what this guy’s intents were. Since he wasn’t afraid of death, why would he side with the ancient race then?

SHING!

The axe shimmered under the glow of the moonlight. As the sharp blade of the Eternal Axe tore the void, ripples began to appear.

Whether or not this guy was afraid of death, he had to die today.

There was a huge chunk of experience points right here! Lin Fan must definitely not miss it!

Looking at the blade of the axe, Xu Wuxin’s heart skipped a beat.

THUD.

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s face changed.

“SPARE ME, SIR…!” Suddenly, that Xu Wuxin who was seemingly fearless about death dropped to his knees and began begging while clutching at his chest.

“Eh…?” Lin Fan was stunned. He retracted every single thought he had in his heart. That was just all a bunch of hogwash! Everything that Xu Wuxin had said earlier was representative of his boldness towards his incoming death!

But…wasn’t this too quick of a change?!

“SPARE ME, PLEASE! I KNOW OF MANY SECRETS WITHIN THE ANCIENT RACE. AS LONG AS YOU SPARE ME, I’LL TELL THEM ALL TO YOU…!”

“I CAN’T DIE, PLEASE. I REALLY CAN’T DIE HERE!”

…

Right now, Lin Fan was extremely pleased. This was the Xu Wuxin he knew earlier on! This was the Xu Wuxin who would backstab his own father and the entire race for the sake of his own survival! This was the sort of degenerate he was!

And of course, Lin Fan would never ever be merciful to degenerates.

“Okay…!”

Suddenly, Lin Fan realized that the time remaining on his strongest BUFF was about to vanish! He focused his gaze.

“I’LL SLAY…!”

Thud.

‘Ding…Strongest BUFF has expired.’

‘Ding…Congratulations on killing Azure celestial lower level being Xu Wuxin.’

‘Ding…Experience points +50,000.’

‘Ding…Congratulations on leveling up.’

‘Ding…Would you like to entrust your consciousness to the void to attain Azure celestial state?’

‘Ding…Entrust consciousness to the void? Who the fck cares? Slowly do it manually? Fck that! Forcefully level up!’

‘Ding…Azure celestial lower level cultivation state.’

…

Lin Fan listened to the notifications. He was long used to these self-replying speeches of the system by now. But honestly, Lin Fan did feel a consciousness latching on to his body from the void. But, this was severed forcefully by the system.

In the Ancient Saint World, if anyone wanted to attain an azure celestial cultivation state, they would have to entrust their consciousness to the void. From there, they would reserve a memorial tablet before they could attain their azure celestial cultivation states.

But with the help of the system, Lin Fan could just sever that forcefully and bypass the entire process to be an azure celestial without entrusting anything to the void.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a massive aura erupted out from Lin Fan.

Xia Zehua’s face changed. He was knocked tens of feet by the vigorous aura!

“This aura…!” Xia Zehua had not expected his Brother Lin to breakthrough his cultivation state at this moment!

“Aiyo…!” As for Mu Liang and the others who were of even weaker cultivation states, they were sent flying all over the place by this powerful gust of aura. Some of them were even rolling all over the ground.

“BIG BROTHER LIN, GENTLER PLEASE…!”

Lin Fan closed his eyes. Right now, he could sense his consciousness being able to transmit through the boundless void with absolute freedom. Within the boundless void, he could sense the various other memorial tablets that laid floating in the skies, emitting mysterious auras of their own.

At the same time, a limitless and humongous amount of energy surged through his body.

This was the power of an azure celestial.

Lin Fan waved out his finger.

The void tore apart as the energy flow from within rippled out.

Lin Fan’s lips curled into a grin. He could finally tear through the void of this Ancient Saint World now.

This was a huge leap of improvement for Lin Fan.

Opening his eyes, a sharp gleam burst out before gradually culminating back within him.

‘Demon City, absorb!’

Lin Fan did not know when the Demon City would finally grow further. However, this Demon City was a legendary weapon. Therefore, the amount of Demonic Qi that it required as definitely massive. But, Lin Fan wasn’t worried about this.

After all, there were many ancient beasts and ancient race tribesmen around the entire place. With this amount of resources, it was only a matter of time before the Demon City broke through to turn into a true legendary weapon.

However, the only regret Lin Fan had right now was that he hadn’t fully utilized his strongest BUFF carefully.

But of course, one must not be too greedy. He had already broken through a few cultivation states with the BUFF alone. He should be satisfied with this.

Given his rate of leveling up, one could already profess him to be rocketing into the moons. After all, it took Xia Zehua and the others an extremely long time before they could even get to where they were right now. For him to overtake them in just a matter of days, what more could he ask for?

“Big Brother Lin! You’re simply way too awesome!” Mu Liang’s eyes were like little stars sparkling in the skies right now, filled with reverence.

“Brother Lin, to think that your innate potential is this strong! Levelling up after just that battle alone! That’s some frightening potential you’ve got there!” Xia Zehua exclaimed in awe.

“Haha, humble, please… Humble…” Lin Fan waved his hands casually. “These are not worth a mention.”

“Graceful! See that, guys? That’s called grace! Look at the sort of grace that my Big Brother Lin carries with him! Look at the amount of humility he’s got…!” Mu Liang stood beside Lin Fan and started exclaiming.

“Bootlicker…!” Duan Meng tossed Mu Liang a glance.

“Hmph…! I don’t mix around with people who have low rankings!” Mu Liang snorted.

…

Looking at the both of them, Lin Fan broke into a smile helplessly.

“Brother Lin, now that these ancient race tribesmen have died here, they must have already sensed it from their end. In light of our safety, let’s leave this place immediately.” Xia Zehua commented.

“Alright.” Lin Fan nodded his head.

He wondered how much his rankings had risen now that he had killed Xu Wuxin as well.

Chapter 476: Which Head Should I Knock?!

p>Within a towering building that stood tall within the base of the ancient race was a patch of darkness within. A few green flames floated around gently with a ghastly glow, allowing that bit of light to permeate through the dark building.

However, compared to the surrounding darkness, it was still ever so minuscule…

Lying on a circular crystal bed, a pair of blue eyes were ever so dazzling in this darkness.

A luxurious pitch-black fur coat was draped on the Marquis of Despair’s body.

At this moment, the Marquis of Despair was extremely silent. Those eyes were still as water, without any presence within them.

Looking at those green flames, the Marquis of Despair lifted his hand gently, as though he was chasing after them. However, those layers of darkness were preventing him from going forth, as everything descended gently.

Silence.

Repressing Silence.

There was not a single peep of sound within…

“Xiguang…” Suddenly, an authoritative voice boomed out from the darkness. A strain of fear appeared on that cute little face of the Marquis of Despair momentarily. However, it disappeared without a trace in the next instance.

“King…” the Marquis of Despair knelt down on his spot. With the pitch-black coat draped over his body, his figure appeared even more minuscule.

Within that darkness, a pair of purple demonic eyes appeared. Under the gaze of these sinister eyes, no one would dare to face it directly. No matter who it was, they would have to lower their heads against it.

Those purple and demonic eyes started to shine with a glimmer.

‘ARGH…!’

The Marquis of Despair’s body shivered as a tragic cry burst out of his mouth. Streams of black Qi began to emanate out from the Marquis of Despair’s body and flowed towards those eyes.

The Marquis of Despair laid prostrating on the ground with his head lowered. This was a pain he would have to endure once per month.

After some time, those eyes gradually disappeared back within the void.

The Marquis of Despair collapsed onto the ground, huffing heavily. He had undergone that torment for quite some time now.

“Little Guang…” A voice rang over from a corner in the darkness. This voice was different; it carried with it a tone of concern.

“Don’t come over…!” The Marquis of Despair hollered icily. He then struggled to stand up. That tender little face of his was filled with a firm resolution.

“Long Xuan, I do not need your crocodile tears. I am the Marquis of Despair Xiguang. You can take back that sympathetic gaze of yours! Remember, you are nothing but a carrier. You have no rights to be involved in my affairs!” That stumpy little the Marquis of Despair gripped his tiny fists tightly. Turning around, he walked back into his darkness, dragging his robes with him.

“Little Guang…” A sigh came out through the darkness…

…

Lin Fan and Xia Zehua left those treacherous grounds with the others, rampaging along the way. Now that Xu Wuxin and the other soldiers had died there, the ancient race base must be really riled up by now.

For safety precautions, they had better find a place to hide away for the time being.

Lin Fan now had the ability to protect himself. Even though an azure celestial wasn’t the strongest there was to be, it was enough for him to ensure his own life. As for those stronger beings within the ancient race, Lin Fan would not be foolish enough to pick a fight with them for no reason.

If they were so easily taken down, the ancient race empire would have long been overturned. How could it be still standing here, waiting for him till this moment?

And indeed, after he had taken down Xu Wuxin and the other soldiers, his name did receive quite the booster in the rankings list.

But Lin Fan was far from satisfied with these rankings.

Just one look at it and Lin Fan was numbered amongst tens of millions right now. To him, there was still a long way to go from here. It wouldn’t satisfy him till he was number one on the ranking boards.

Even though the higher up a fugitive’s name was on the ranking boards, the more danger he would be in, what could one do? One couldn’t possibly shy away just because of that danger.

One fine day, Lin Fan must have his name spread out across the entire Ancient Saint World. All of the ancient race beings must know to fear him while all of the thousands of other races would come to revere his name!

“Woah…! Big Brother Lin! Your ranking seems to have jumped up once more!” Mu Liang was really engrossed within the ranking boards. Keying in Lin Fan’s name, he was stunned immediately. At the same time, he was quite envious. He wondered when he could become as strong as Big Brother Lin.

“Humble…humble please.” Lin Fan replied calmly, but he was unable to hide the look of glee on his face. For someone as powerful as Yours Truly, could this measly ranking serve to satiate him?

“Brother Lin, what should our next step be?” Xia Zehua asked.

He had witnessed Lin Fan’s strength for himself during that battle. At the same time, he was now really hopeful about the future of the righteous party.

Lin Fan sighed with exasperation in his heart. He wanted to say, ‘Broooooo… you’re the leader, you know?’

But at the same time, he knew that Xia Zehua was just going to be that sort of a person. Hence, he did not say anything of the sorts.

“It’s getting late. Let’s rest for a while first. After all, we still have quite some duration before the ascension date. We’ll use the remaining time to try hiding under the radar while we train up.” Lin Fan commented.

“Not bad! This is a well-thought idea! This time around, we must definitely rescue all those who have ascended!” Xia Zehua replied with respect.

Lin Fan sighed once more. He could not help but admire this simple intellect level of Xia Zehua.

As night came by, everyone entered their own slumber…

Lin Fan looked up at the vast skies and entered the darkness of the woods. He couldn’t relax, even at this juncture. He had to seize every opportunity to train up properly and raise his power level to the peak. That was the only time when he would finally be qualified to relax and take a break.

Otherwise, with his current strength, things would be difficult. Not only could he not continue with his bullsht all the time, his show might go the wrong way at any moment as well.

…

Thud.

Once more, a beast was chopped into two by Lin Fan.

Looking at the experience points, Lin Fan could not help but frown. This was simply way too little! It was so little that it was scary!

How nice would it be if the strongest BUFF could last for just that much longer? But, it was a pity that that was impossible.

Lin Fan flicked his robes, taking in all of the Demonic Qi around him.

No matter how weak the Qi was, an accumulation of all the weak Qi would have its own use as well.

Beasts here were especially active when night came.

This area wasn’t comparable to the boundary zones. In fact, there could be those high leveled beasts that Lin Fan was direly anticipating.

‘ROAR…!’

Just as Lin Fan was about to tread deeper, he was attracted by a roar and hastened his footsteps.

This roar was extraordinary, and there was a repressing feeling about it.

‘Ancient Beast: Three-Headed King. Azure celestial middle level.’

‘AIYO! HOLY SHT! To think that it’s really a huge BOSS!’ Looking at this beast, Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. To think that he could bump into a beast that had a cultivation state even higher than his own right now! This was naturally something that was exciting!

This beast was deep in its slumber at the moment. That roar earlier on was just its breathing.

Every single breath was like thunder on its own.

This was really quite a sight to behold.

Lin Fan rubbed his chin, wondering what he should do. Should he use his Eternal Axe and rush up to kill it, or should he try to sneak an attack in?

This was a question worth considering.

Lin Fan took out his Nine Five Legendary Brick and entered Stealth mode, making his way around the beast sneakily.

After all, it was late in the night now, and the beast was enjoying its sleep. How rude of Lin Fan would it be if he accidentally disturbed this beast’s peaceful slumber?

Tiptoeing, he trod with extreme care, as though he was about to do something bad.

‘Huff…!’

Three gigantic heads laid on the ground. Each time they breathed, they would huff out steamy puffs of hot air. The stench was absolutely unbearable.

‘Bloody hell! This stinks like sh*t! But for the sake of the experience points, Yours Truly shall bear with it!’ Lin Fan did not know if he would be discovered this time around.

But, just as Lin Fan approached closer to the Three-headed king, he was suddenly stumped.

Wait a minute. There were three heads here!

Which one should he knock?!

This was the first time that Lin Fan did not know which head he should knock!

Chapter 477: Nobility Of The Ancient Beasts

p>‘Alright, you then…!’ Lin Fan looked at and decided upon the middle head, which looked the most malevolent. With that, he garnered that this must be the strongest head, so he might as well smack this.

If a single head could cause all three heads to be knocked out, then that would be one hell of a bonus!

But even if it woke up in shock, Lin Fan wasn’t that afraid. After all, he would have already taken one head down.

‘I’LL SLAM…!’

Fast!

Accurate!

Brutal!

With the Nine Five Legendary Brick in Lin Fan’s hands, it was absolutely incredible. The void relented and gave way immediately, without any hints of his presence.

PIAK!

Done!

Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. However, just then, the three-headed king who was deep in slumber suddenly jerked its eyes wide open! Those heavy eyelids opened up instantly, revealing golden pupils that looked down at the rest of the world in contempt, as a massive flash burst out.

ROAR!

Looking at how someone had dared to disturb its rest, the three-headed king started howling in a maddened rage.

That berserk sound rippled through the entire area like shockwaves. It was so strong that all the surrounding trees were toppled over due to its tremendous force.

‘Holy sht! That’s wild!’ Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat on seeing this scene. This azure celestial beast was extraordinary indeed! Even if Xu Wuxin were the one who had bumped into this, he would definitely have nowhere to run!

That immense roar caused the righteous party to wake up in fright.

Xia Zehua was breaking out in cold sweat. The power that was wielded by this single roar was really unbearable. This was evidently an incredible beast!

“Wake up! An enemy’s approaching!”

That earth-shattering roar was like thunder that was exploding right beside their ears. It was no wonder that Xia Zehua was getting nervous.

“What’s the situation…?” Mu Liang, who was dreaming of playing together with his tribesmen, woke up in a shock as well. He was especially alert upon hearing that an enemy was approaching, and had gripped his weapon tightly in a combat ready state.

“Eh? Where’s the enemy?”

Everyone looked around at their peaceful surroundings. There was no enemy at all!

RAWRRRRR!

Suddenly, everyone could hear that massive roar booming out from a distance, along with the sounds of the trees toppling over. They were extremely bewildered, unable to figure out what was happening.

“Where’s Big Brother Lin?”

“Could he be over there?”

Xia Zehua lowered his head deep into thought for a moment before beckoning to the rest of them, “All of you, follow me…”

…

Lin Fan eyed the ancient beast before him. He had not expected this azure celestial three-headed king to be so tricky to deal with!

He had thought that its fighting strength would definitely be lowered after a head was knocked out. But, Lin Fan was starting to discover that that wasn’t the case at all.

The massive paw of that three-headed king kicked out into the void. This ferocious strike left a five-toed imprint, as though the entire void had been ripped apart by it.

Lin Fan leaped backward immediately and flung his arm in a circular motion.

He had tried going on against this three-headed king head on earlier on, but that left this arm of his, which was wielding the Eternal Axe, extremely sore!

The power of every single strike was massive, as though it contained the power to devastate both Heaven and Earth.

Azure celestial middle level indeed… This was definitely something not to be underestimated!

The three-headed king used that sharp claw of his to pat at his slumped head. Its face was bewildered. Why the hell was his head giving no reaction at all?!

PIAK! PIAK!

The three-headed king slapped his head back and forth. Still no reaction. The other two heads stuck out their tongue and licked its middle head. But that too was to no avail.

ROAR!

It started roaring madly once more. The gaze of the three-headed king was fixated on this fella before it. It knew that this guy must have been the reason why its middle head was unconscious right now!

Damn it! God damn it!

Lin Fan looked at the current state of the three-headed king and giggled, “Three-headed weirdo! You don’t have to continue licking! Anything that has been struck by Yours Truly’s brick would be knocked out for an entire minute! Even if the skies were to topple right now, you still wouldn’t be able to lift that middle head up!”

Lin Fan knew that he had to seize this opportunity to take down this beast. To think that it was so ferocious despite having a single head down! If that head were to wake up as well, wouldn’t this beast be even more formidable?!

The three-headed king continued howling. Those two front claws of its slammed down on the ground with tremendous force, causing the ground to crack out densely.

PSHEW!

“Huh?” Suddenly, the three-headed king disappeared right before Lin Fan’s eyes!

That speed caused Lin Fan’s brows to crease, as his focus intensified.

Wasn’t the speed of that three-headed king way too fast?! That wasn’t the speed of tearing through the void! It was just his physical body’s speed!

Just then, a dangerous aura appeared right before Lin Fan. The towering figure of the three-headed king appeared suddenly, as its claws were already pummelling downwards.

‘HOLY SHT! THAT’S CRAZY!’ Lin Fan managed to react in time and sent a retaliatory swing of his axe.

BAM!

With Lin Fan as the center, a tremendous force burst out in all directions. That firm and resolute ground of the Ancient Saint World began to sink down harshly, creating a deep trench.

Just as Lin Fan was about to return the favor, a sharp claw swung over to the side of his body.

“Not good…!” Lin Fan exclaimed in shock.

‘Eternal Immortality!’

At this point, Lin Fan could only bear with it and take on the blow! Suddenly, a burst of light that resembled glass erupted out from that comparatively small body of Lin Fan’s.

BAM!

‘Urgh…!’

Receiving this claw of the three-headed king, five sharp wounds appeared on Lin Fan’s body. At the same time, fresh blood began to gush out in all directions.

Tens of miles away, Lin Fan struggled to steady his body as he glared at this three-headed king warily.

‘I’ve been careless. To think that an azure celestial middle-level beast would be this strong! I’ve really bitten on more than I can chew now.’ Lin Fan wiped his chin to remove the blood stains. At the same time, Blood Sea was churning furiously.

The blood that was gushing out was already beginning to reverse its direction back into Lin Fan. At the same time, those deep wounds on Lin Fan’s body were beginning to regenerate.

‘Ding…Eternal Immortality experience points +1,000.’

“That was some good stuff. To think that you could catch Yours Truly totally off guard like that! You should be proud of yourself, being a rarity amongst the other beasts that I’ve met!” Back in the Xuanhuang World, no other beast could injure Lin Fan like this. Seemed like he had truly met a strong foe in the Ancient Saint World.

Given the current progression of the beasts that he knew, it wasn’t hard to believe that something like the big ancient demon could exist among these ancient beasts.

Just the power difference between an azure celestial middle level and azure celestial lower level alone was extremely significant!

“Seems like Yours Truly have truly looked down upon you guys.” The fact that Lin Fan had killed Xu Wuxin, who was an azure celestial lower level, back when he was an earth celestial full cultivation being had filled him with immense confidence. However, he could not help but admit right now that ancient beasts were truly way stronger than the other races.

RAWRRRRRR!!!

The three-headed king roared angrily at Lin Fan with an arrogant pose. It was as though he was mocking Lin Fan to know his place as a human.

“Heh…” Suddenly, Lin Fan’s fighting intent rose once more, “Three-headed weirdo, don’t you dare go overboard. Yours Truly was only careless just now. Soon, Yours Truly will show you what true fear is!”

Suddenly, Lin Fan heard the commotion in the surroundings and felt exasperated. He had still managed to wake them up eventually.

Xia Zehua and the others had caught sight of Lin Fan’s figure far from a distance. When they arrived at the scene and caught sight of the three-headed king, they exclaimed out.

“It’s the three-headed king!”

“Brother Lin, watch out! This three-headed king belongs to a bloodline of the rulers of the ancient beasts! Therefore, it’s way stronger than any common beast!” Xia Zehua reminded Lin Fan cautiously.

“Alright, got it! Don’t come over, guys! I’ll have a go at this beast!” Lin Fan glared at the three-headed king carefully while calling out to the rest of them.

Lin Fan finally understood. It wasn’t because the ancient beasts were much stronger. It was just that he had bumped into an elite ancient beast.

This was an ancient beast with an enhanced bloodline.

Seemed like there were still many things he did not know about.

Chapter 478: That’s How Treacherous I Am!

p>Xia Zehua had no idea how his Brother Lin had managed to rile up this three-headed king. He was feeling helpless at the moment. He direly wanted to lend a hand, but knew that even if all of them from the righteous party were to join in, they would barely be able to do anything at all.

But, something was causing them to feel bewildered. Just what in the world was going on with that middle head? Why did it look so listless, as though it was hanging dead?

…

Lin Fan looked at the three-headed king. He had two options right now.

The first was to give it his all and take down this three-headed king.

The other was to make use of the chance to level up his Eternal Immortality.

But, there was still a lingering issue on his mind between these two options. What should he do once the middle head wakes up from its slumber?

If the middle head’s awakening were to cause this beast’s power level to spike up once again, then that would be quite the tragedy to behold!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan decided. Everything should play by the safe route for now.

‘Firmament!’

The Eternal Axe was flung out. Shining brightly, it tore through the void spiraling towards the 3 headed king.

‘Three-headed and six-armed Faceless Sky Demon!’

‘Firmament Sword!’

“All of you, disturb his rear!” Lin Fan’s methods of engagement these days were starting to get more and more shameless. Since he might not necessarily win by fighting head on nowadays, he would just slam them from the sides then.

So as to secure the victory, all sorts of methods were being produced from Lin Fan’s brains these days.

Lin Fan had long discovered an issue: The way that everyone attacked and fought were too rigid and by the books. To Lin Fan, those ways of combat would most definitely fail to unleash one’s utmost potential.

Now that Lin Fan’s Firmament Sword had been infused with the sword will from his Will of the Sword, it was an extremely formidable skill. Even some of the people from the Sword World themselves might have to bow down in acknowledgment of his capabilities.

The movements of the three-headed and six-armed Faceless Sky Demon were extremely swift. Those three expressions on those three faces represented three different types of powers.

As Lin Fan raised the skill level of Faceless Sky Demon, its power grew even stronger.

But for him to attain an exceptionally high state of cultivation for Faceless Sky Demon would still require some time.

PSHEW! PSHEW!

Upon receiving Lin Fan’s orders, every single sword will that was flung out by the Faceless Sky Demon was aimed at the anus of the three-headed king.

For a beast of this cultivation state, the physical body state would definitely not be that weak. Therefore, to play it safe, Lin Fan had decided to attack at the spot where he had the most confidence.

‘I’LL CHOP…!’

Cleaving out with his Eternal Axe, Lin Fan clashed against those massive claws of the three-headed king.

The three-headed king’s razor sharp claws shone brightly. Even the damaged Eternal Axe could not chop them off. That only served to have Lin Fan’s appraisal of this beast rise even further.

…

“Leader, isn’t Big Brother Lin way too strong?! To think that he could hold up against the three-headed king like this!” Looking at this earth-shattering battle before him, Mu Liang exclaimed with his jaws agape.

“That’s right! Even though the cultivation state of the three-headed king is only at azure celestial middle level, in reality, it is an existence that’s even stronger than an upper level due to its bloodline!” Duan Meng remarked.

“These are the types of battles that true men should engage in!” He Chenghan commented with envious eyes.

He was a man from the War World, where there were countless wars breaking out everywhere. And in fact, the wars only grew stronger over time. Therefore, it was no doubt that He Chenghan would be jealous of this intense battle breaking out right before him. He wished that he could head up there and join in the fight personally. But at the same time, he knew that he probably wouldn’t even last a single second on the battlefield.

Seeing the sight before him, Xia Zehua’s inner heart had long ascended up into the Heavens. He had not expected Brother Lin to truly be so sick!

There were, in fact, a couple of times when he had thought that it was over after his Brother Lin was struck down by the three-headed king. But each and every time, his Brother Lin stood back up with great vigor! It was then that he realized it was all just assumptions on his part.

Just how strong was the physical body state of his Brother Lin?!

If it were him, he would have long been mutilated into parts by that ferocious claw of the three-headed king!

…

ROAR!

A maddened holler boomed out of the mouth of the three-headed king. It was thoroughly incensed right now.

There was this thing behind him that was like a specter! Furthermore, each time that apparition struck out, his body would be struck with yet another attack.

The anus of the three-headed king was especially sore by now. Each time this human struck out to engage him from the front, that sharp sword will would suddenly appear and pierce out at his precious anus!

Intolerable!

Suddenly, the three-headed king could feel some sensations stirring up from its middle head. It was as though it was about to awaken from its unconscious state!

“Not good! One minute’s about to be over! That look of anticipation on the other two heads must mean that something bad is about to happen.” Lin Fan had been observing the expressions of this three-headed king, and concluded with this explanation.

If the three-headed king knew of the human’s thoughts, it would definitely howl out in rage.

‘Your majesty’s face is absolutely ferocious and poker! How the hell could you tell?!’

…

“Three-headed weirdo, take my axe!” Lin Fan pushed hard and rocketed violently with both his feet, causing a dust cloud to form behind him. That level of speed was astonishing.

BAM!

The claw of the three-headed king struck out once more, clashing against Lin Fan’s Eternal Axe.

A massive amount of energy burst out from the clash.

“STAB HIS ANUS!” With him being engaged in combat, Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. If Yours Truly couldn’t strike it down from the front, he would use his sword will to stab at its anus, causing it an unrelenting pain!

But just then, the slumped middle head of the three-headed king opened its golden gaze, as an immense aura burst out from him.

Lin Fan’s face changed. The three-headed king had turned stronger once more!

The three-headed king glared at the human before him, after which, the middle head did a 180-degree turn and looked at its rear. Opening its wide mouth, it shot out a sonic boom.

Under the pressure of this sonic boom, the three-headed and six-armed Faceless Sky Demon, who was busy stabbing the anus of the three-headed king, disintegrated and disappeared from the Heaven and Earth.

RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

The three-headed king’s anger was beyond this world at this moment. Now that its full powers had returned, it had to make this human pay the price!

But just as the imposing middle head made its 180 degrees turn back to the front, a red flash appeared before its face once more.

To think that this human had shamelessly tossed his weapon down at the claw, causing it to slap out into the air for nothing!

‘Invincible Big Red Brick! I’ll SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP…!’

PIAK!

Dizziness.

In a moment, that head which had just awoken lost its consciousness once more.

The three-headed king cried out wildly as its claws swiped out furiously. It was determined to tear this human apart!

‘Urgh…!’

Looking at how its claws had finally pierced through the chest of the human, the three-headed king revealed a devious smirk.

“BROTHER LIN…!”

“BIG BROTHER LIN…!”

Seeing this scene, everyone from the righteous party could not help but scream out. They could not believe that this would be the final outcome!

Now that Lin Fan was pierced through by the three-headed king, the only outcome left for him was death…!

“AHH…! I’M GONNA DIE…!!! NOOOO! PLEASE DON’T EAT ME…!!!” Lin Fan cried out tragically. Immediately, in less than a second’s time, both his legs fell limp as his eyes closed shut, with his tongue sticking out. He couldn’t be any deader than this.

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

The three-headed king hollered out with an earth-shattering howl. It was declaring the outcome of this battle. Anyone who went against him would only have death awaiting them!

The three-headed king moved its claws nearer to its face. It had to take a good look at this human. At the same time, this fella had just reminded him not to eat up his body! But this guy had riled up Your Majesty! How could Your Majesty not eat him up?

As for those ants in the distance, the three-headed king wasn’t interested in the least bit. However, if they decided to try anything funny, it wouldn’t mind devouring them up as well.

“B*STARD! I’LL TAKE REVENGE FOR MY BIG BROTHER LIN!” Mu Liang was riled up. He was ready to go fight it out with the three-headed king.

“Don’t be brash! Do we look like we can go up against it? We’ll just be throwing our bodies at him!”

‘HAIS…!’ Mu Liang was filled with indignance, but there was nothing he could do.

…

The three-headed king moved its claws nearer to its face to take a closer look at this human it had just pierced through. It wanted to see his final tragic state before devouring him whole.

But just at that moment, the initially happy three-headed king was suddenly stunned, as though it couldn’t react quick enough due to the shock.

To think that the fella, who couldn’t get any deader than this, would open his eyes and grin at itself!

“I’LL SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPP…!!!”

Lifting up his Nine Five Legendary Brick, Lin Fan slapped down towards the head of the three-headed king.

With this distance, all he needed to do was to stretch out his hand!

PIAK! PIAK!

It fainted over immediately.

But even before it fainted, the three-headed king could not make out or understand how this guy wasn’t dead.

“Hmph! Insolent! Yours Truly had just merely employed his innate ‘Oscar Best Actor’ capabilities to trick you for a little bit! You’ve really got no brains indeed!” Lin Fan tossed his head as his long hair swayed with the wind. He did not mind that body of his that was pierced through in the least bit.

After all, the only thing that mattered was how majestic and suave he should look right now.

Chapter 479: Bloodline Of The 3-Headed King

p>But of course, this wasn’t the time to be overly indulging in his own perfection in acting skills, now that there were so many people watching him, coupled with the fact that his body was pierced by the claw of the three-headed king.

One must first and foremost take utmost care of their image.

Drip. Drip.

Being pierced dangling in the air by the claw and watching his own blood dripping down, Lin Fan could not help but sigh.

“This Blood Sea is truly incredible. Coupled with the Mythical Parasol Tree, this is just an existence that defies all rules of the Heavens. It’s rare for someone to still be alive if they were in my current state.” Lin Fan grabbed those razor sharp claws and used his strength to pull his own body out of it.

“Holy sht! That stings!” Lin Fan struggled for quite a while. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull himself out! Just what sort of a magnetic pull did the claws of the three-headed king possess? To think that Yours Truly was even using all the strength he had gained from sucking the milk of his mother’s tts!

Looking at the three slumped heads of the three-headed king, Lin Fan knew that sht would hit the roof if these three were to wake up.

“Oi, oi…! Come and help pull me out of this, guys!” Lin Fan called out to all the dumbstruck people far in the distance.

He had been trying his best, but he just couldn’t get himself out of this mess. The true tragedy would really ensue the moment this three-headed king woke up!

The righteous party had long been petrified by now.

Their hearts felt as though they had just gone through a rollercoaster ride. Up and down, up and down, it was an immense ride of incomparable excitement.

Initially, all of them had thought that Lin Fan was dead for sure! After all, he had received such serious wounds, so how could he still be alive? But the scene that followed truly had them dropping their jaws and exclaiming wildly about the wonders of life!

“What are you guys spacing out for…? Come and help me out!” Lin Fan called out to them once more.

“Big Brother Lin, I’m coming…!” Mu Liang was the first to jerk out of his stupor. He then darted out towards Lin Fan. The speed at which he did so could be considered astonishing.

“Brother Lin, we’re all coming…!” Xia Zehua turned into a light streak and dashed over as well.

…

“Alright, on my orders!”

“1…2…3…”

“PULL…!” With people pulling on all four of his limbs, everyone tugged with all their strength.

PLOP!

Blood gushed out like a fountain. Just a single look at this sight could totally cause one’s heart to swoop in fear.

“Aiyo…!” Lin Fan clutched at his chest, sensing this numbing pain.

Even though he wasn’t dead, the pain was every single bit real.

“Brother Lin, just what in the world is going on…?” Mu Liang asked in bewilderment. To think that his mental fortitude could still be so strong after being pierced by the claws of that three-headed king. Wasn’t that beyond amazing?

Lin Fan looked at Mu Liang and grinned.

This was practically nothing. If Lin Fan were to tell him that he could revive from even a single drop of blood, all of them would practically be shocked to death by Yours Truly!

“Let’s not talk about this first. All of you stand back. The three-headed king isn’t dead yet. I’m going to take him down first.” Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.

The moment all of them from the righteous party heard that the three-headed king wasn’t dead yet, their hearts took yet another leap. They had initially thought that the three-headed king had already been taken down! To think…!

Lin Fan churned his Blood Sea. At the same time, the Mythical Parasol Tree within his body was emanating a boundless amount of lifeforce, regenerating his wounds.

That single claw by the three-headed king had given his Eternal Immortality a huge chunk of experience points. This could be considered to be equal parts misfortune and fortune.

Everything was worthwhile now.

Lin Fan kicked at the three-headed king, “Yours Truly has already told you, three-headed weirdo! Stay humble! But you just refused to listen! See, do you believe how strong Yours Truly is now?”

“Do you really think that Yours Truly couldn’t take you down? Yours Truly was just messing around with you!”

Now that he had recovered, of course, Lin Fan would not forget about his acting sprees. After all, the three-headed king has long lost his consciousness. No matter how Lin Fan kicked at him, he wouldn’t cry out at all.

But, this low profile act by Lin Fan caused a huge amount of stirring in the hearts of the righteous party members.

“Big Brother Lin is exceptional indeed! Look at that calm grace that’s emanating from him! One can hardly ever get that in this world, man!” Mu Liang praised.

“I’ve really got to admit that I’m not as strong as Brother Lin. The three-headed king is of a noble descent amongst the ancient beasts, and is extremely ferocious! To think that it was rendered totally useless in the hands of Brother Lin.” Xia Zehua commented.

…

Listening to these compliments from everyone around him, Lin Fan’s heart was blossoming. This was the type of effect he had wanted.

If one didn’t live life just to bullsht, what else should one live life for?

But looking at the situation now, it was time to take in the three-headed king.

Looking at the three heads of the three-headed king, Lin Fan then headed over to pick up his Eternal Axe. Lin Fan should probably be the only person in this world who could throw around a legendary weapon just like that.

This Eternal Axe was really way too hideous looking. None of them could tell that this was a legendary weapon that Lin Fan was wielding.

Otherwise, if they knew that Lin Fan had casually tossed away a legendary weapon as though it was free, they would have definitely spat out a mouthful of old blood.

“Now, now, three-headed weirdo, you’ve got to understand that Yours Truly has got no other choice but to kill you. It’s really tough for me to live in this Ancient Saint World as a lone human, you know? If I don’t work hard at increasing my own strength, who knows when I would be chopped down by someone, one fine day? When Yours Truly becomes the utmost being of this world one day, I’ll make sure to take good care of your kind.” Before killing this beast, Lin Fan stood before the three-headed king and made a slight prayer.

‘I’LL CHOP…!’

Thud.

Three gigantic heads flew up spiraling into the skies like a beautiful stream of fireworks before gradually landing onto the ground. And just like that, the high and mighty three-headed king of a noble descent died without even knowing how it died.

‘Ding…Congratulations on killing Ancient beast noble 3 headed king.’

‘Ding…Experience points +20,000.’

‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining three-headed king Bloodline.’

‘Three-Headed King Bloodline: Noble amongst the Ancient Beasts, this Bloodline is extremely pure. Able to be used for Pill Cultivation, Consumption, or Infusion within the Demon City.’

Lin Fan was surprised. To think that he would obtain a free bloodline out of killing an ancient beast noble! This was amazing.

‘Infuse.’

Lin Fan tossed the three-headed king’s bloodline within the Demon City.

Just then, the lifeless pupils of the big ancient demon within the Demon City sparkled with a glimmer. Opening its big mouth, it swallowed the entire bloodline whole into its tummy.

Suddenly, the Demon City underwent a change. The aura of the big ancient demon began to emit out gradually, encompassing the entire Demon City completely.

This phenomenon had Lin Fan stumped for a moment. Could it be that the fastest way for the Demon City to break out of its semi-finished, pseudo-legendary weapon state was by consuming the bloodlines of the ancient beast nobles?

Upon understanding this fact, Lin Fan was filled with even more confidence.

The entire Demon City was based on the big ancient demon’s body as a foundation. Therefore, if it wanted to break through to turn into a true legendary weapon, it would have to cause the bloodline of the big ancient demon to be activated entirely.

And with the current situation, it did seem like the bloodline of these ancient beast nobles could work to activate the bloodline of the big ancient demon! Seemed like he would have to start gathering more of these bloodlines in the future.

For the sake of turning stronger, Lin Fan was willing to endure this arduous task.

“Not good…!” Suddenly, Xia Zehua exclaimed in shock.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Fan was startled, not knowing what had just happened.

“Brother Lin, we’ve got to go! This three-headed king is of noble descent, and their bloodlines are interconnected! Now that it’s dead, all members of its kind must be able to sense it as well. If we continue staying here, we’ll definitely be in danger!” Xia Zehua explained.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s scram!” Lin Fan sprinted off without hesitation.

Holy sht! Gotta be shtting him! This three-headed king alone was so damn strong! Who knew how much stronger his fellow nobles would be?

What if his dear wife, daddy or mommy came rampaging over? What would they do then?

…

Chapter 480: Hunted By The Ancient Beast’s Daddy

p>ROARRRRRR!!!

Within the dense patch of forest, a howl that was even more ferocious than that of the three-headed king rang out.

“WHO WAS IT THAT KILLED MY OBEDIENT LITTLE CHILD…?”

This three-headed king was a few times larger than the three-headed king earlier on. And this here was apparently that beast’s father.

Xia Zehua was right. The bloodlines of the ancient beast nobles were interconnected. The ties were even deeper in a father-son relationship.

This three-headed king right here was extremely berserk. A single howl could cause the entire Heaven and Earth to rattle. In fact, in a radius of 100 miles, no other ancient beast would dare to even make a single peep right now, as they were all trembling uncontrollably in fear.

Beasts of an extremely high cultivation state gained the ability to speak. This three-headed king looked similar to his son. However, on those three heads were six pitch-black curved horns. Those horns shimmered brightly under the moonlight, looking ever more menacing under the night sky.

“EVEN IF IT’S TO THE DEPTHS OF THIS WORLD, I’LL SEEK VENGEANCE FOR MY SON…!!!”

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, the three-headed king disappeared from its initial spot, as though it was trying to track down the murderer using its bloodline connection.

By the time this three-headed king had arrived at the scene of the crime, Lin Fan and the others had long fled.

“MY SON…!!!” Looking at the three heads on the ground, this three-headed king was furious to no ends.

“JUST WHO IN THE WORLD WAS IT? TO THINK THAT HE WOULDN’T EVEN LEAVE HIS BODY WHOLE! MY DEAR SON, YOU’VE DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH…!” Looking at how the three heads were the only thing left of his child, the three-headed king howled in anguish. This roar that was filled with immense vigor shot through the clouds, causing the entire sky to ripple out.

Lin Fan, who had long escaped thousands of miles into the distance, stopped in his tracks. His heart skipped a beat on hearing that ferocious howl.

“Holy sht! Thank goodness I ran off in time! The next time I bump into an ancient race noble, I must definitely make sure I run off without wasting time!” Lin Fan patted his chest in relief.

This was a really exciting feeling right now!

“Brother Lin! I’ve noticed that you’ve kept the body of that three-headed king! Remember that you must never ever take it out! Ancient beasts are the best at bearing grudges! The moment they sense the bloodline, they would definitely appear right before you!” Xia Zehua reminded Lin Fan.

He was truly afraid right now. Who knew when his Brother Lin might decide to take out the body of that three-headed king to inspect in a moment of exuberance one day? If that happened, they would be tracked in a matter of seconds. Now THAT would truly be tragedy!

“Huh…?” Lin Fan looked at Xia Zehua, stumped. “You mean to say that I can’t take out the body unless the other party is dead?”

“That’s right. Unless you’re already prepared with the mentality to go all out against the other party.” Xia Zehua was really serious right now.

“Holy sht! Then wouldn’t this thing just be rotting in my hands?!” Lin Fan was rendered speechless. He had wanted to chop down that sharp claw of the three-headed king to craft into a treasure! By the sounds of it, there was no hope of that happening right now!

‘Hais…!’ Lin Fan gave off a long sigh, expressing his exasperation. But wait, if Yours Truly could get stronger and lure that big BOSS over with this body so that he could chop that BOSS down, wouldn’t things be great too?

…

Time passed…

Lin Fan and the other members of the righteous party were actively working in this area.

No one else in the righteous party had a system of course. Therefore, they had to make use of peaceful cultivations to level up. As for Lin Fan? All he needed to do was to kill beasts.

Along the way, Lin Fan took down quite a number of ancient beasts. However, most of them were of low cultivation states. Now that he didn’t have the strongest BUFF any longer, the experience points gained had dropped by a significant amount.

The highest cultivation states of the beasts that he had bumped into along the way were of earth celestial full cultivation state. If this were in the past, Lin Fan would have definitely laughed himself silly. However, none of it mattered now.

As an azure celestial lower level, these earth celestial full cultivation beasts no longer brought him that many experience points. Even azure celestial lower level beasts provided a pitiable amount.

‘Hais, this damned system is really just forcing Yours Truly to fight against beasts higher than my own level! But oh well, fck it. No matter what, the reason why I’m so damn powerful now is also thanks to the grooming of this system.’

With that, the time for the monthly ascension had arrived…

Within this period of time, Lin Fan had gained quite a decent amount of experience points. At the same time, those members of the righteous party were now used to Lin Fan’s way of training.

While others entered cultivation mode, all he did was seek out beasts.

He Chenghan, who was of the War race, was especially admiring of Lin Fan. After all, it seemed as though Brother Lin’s thirst for battles was even stronger than that of his tribesmen.

…

Next day…

“Brother Lin, it’s time to go. The time for the ascension has arrived.” Xia Zehua had been waiting for this day for a long time now. He had never once touched on the idea of rescuing those who had just ascended.

After all, these were dangerous operations.

It was far from a simple task to rescue that amount of people from this district that was governed by the ancient race.

“Alright everyone, be on your toes! Follow my orders! If I ask you to head North, you must never ever head South! If I ask you to act like you’re dead, you must absolutely not breathe! Do you understand me?” Lin Fan commanded the party.

“Yes!” All of them stood upright. Towards Lin Fan’s words, they were 100% obedient.

In fact, even Xia Zehua was completely compliant to Lin Fan’s commands.

Lin Fan did not even need to employ his sub-profession of a Trainer to train up these people.

After all, Yours Truly was such a bedazzling character all by himself.

The members of the righteous party had long been charmed by Lin Fan’s dazzling brilliance. They were all completely entranced by that mighty image of his in their minds.

“Alright, let’s go…!” Lin Fan swept his robes and led the way. All of the others followed with a burning battle intent. They knew that they were out to do something big today, something REALLY big.

…

The memory of his ascension was clear as day in Lin Fan’s mind. After all, that was one hell of a fckfest. To think that they would be captured the moment they had arrived, without any room for preparations or resistance.

For any single person who had just ascended, a single ancient race tribesman from the Ancient Saint World had enough power to rule over their entire world, their entire Heavens. He could even be their bloody ancestor!

The difference in their power levels was as vast as the boundless seas.

But those of them who were ascending this time around were blessed people. The great god of their lives had decided to descend down and receive them personally. These were people who were so lucky that others would envy them in the light of this.

The area of ascension was a vast, empty, desolate ground.

Dust clouds blew up in the desolate grounds. Far in the distance, there was a patch of green woods. That was the forest that Lin Fan had waited within after being rescued.

“Big Brother Lin, why is nothing happening?” Mu Liang asked curiously.

“Hush. Don’t speak. Let us just wait and watch. Don’t rush into this.” Lin Fan whispered.

“Ok.”

A group of people hid between a gap in the valleys, carefully observing the situation up ahead.

Those ancient race tribesmen who were here to capture the ascended beings were biding their time quietly somewhere in the valleys as well, as if they were just waiting for their preys to arrive.

“They’re here…!”

These people who had just ascended were filled with a dazed look on their faces. They did not know where they were. Afterward, just like Lin Fan did when he had just arrived, they entered that stretch of road between the valleys.

CLANG!

What a pity! These people who had just ascended were caged by the ancient race tribesmen the moment they entered the valley.

Down in the Lower Worlds, which one of these beings weren’t the elites of their own races? They were naturally howling out wildly with their arrogant cries.

But of course, they were nothing but ants in front of these ancient race tribesmen. These ancient race tribesmen could not be bothered in the least bit.

“Let’s prepare to strike soon…” Lin Fan had given it a quick scan. The leader of those ancient race tribesmen didn’t have a high cultivation state. Killing him would be an easy task.

“Hold on…!” Suddenly, Lin Fan pressed down his hand. Within the void, another group of rescuers had arrived, just like back then when Lin Fan was rescued.

“Brother Lin, let us go give them a hand!” Xia Zehua commented.

“No hurry. Let’s just observe first.” Lin Fan replied calmly.

Once again, ‘As the mantis stalks the cicada, it is unaware of the oriole behind it’.

‘If these guys can pull this off, Yours Truly shall refrain from showing up this time around.’

‘But if they couldn’t, then Yours Truly would valiantly appear on the scene.’

…

Chapter 481: This Is An Insult To Yours Truly’s Style!

p>Those rescuers that had appeared did not have weak cultivation states. In fact, a white-robed man, who was wielding a longsword, had a cultivation state that was way higher than the leader of those ancient race tribesmen.

By the looks of it, this operation should go pretty smoothly.

However, Lin Fan was wary about one thing. If the ancient race tribesmen were killed each time some people ascended, wouldn’t that be too fake?

“But something’s off. No matter how dumb the ancient race tribesmen may be, they couldn’t possibly allow the thousands of races out there to succeed each and every time, right?” Lin Fan surveyed from the dark, observing the scene carefully.

“Eh? The ancient race tribesmen seem to be really calm.” Lin Fan observed the expressions on their faces. It was starkly different from the shock they had shown when he himself was rescued back then. They seemed extremely relaxed, as though everything was under their control.

“I know that man! He’s Bai Yichen of the Sword World! He is really strong! He’s an azure celestial full cultivation being!” Xia Zehua commented on the scene before him.

Lin Fan opened up the fugitive list and looked through it. And indeed, he was startled for a moment by this guy’s ranking.

Even though it wasn’t that far ahead, it was still amongst the 600,000+. Comparing his own ranking, that was in the tens of millions, he was unable to beat this guy.

“Seems like we don’t have a hand in this any longer. That Bai Yichen has unparalleled sword skills. In fact, he’s even famous amongst those of the Sword race. Big Brother Lin, should we retreat now or continue watching?” Mu Liang asked.

“Watch…” Lin Fan was a little unhappy with that comment.

Famous? Hmph! When Yours Truly gets stronger, his name will surely ring out across this entire world! By then, he would be way more famous than this person here!

Even though those people who had ascended did not know what was going on, they were naturally excited on looking at how help had arrived for them.

Sensing the auras emitted by these people, even their very hearts skipped a beat.

They were the sovereigns of their own Lower Worlds. Therefore, they were naturally haughty. However, sensing how much more powerful everyone who had come to rescue them was, they did feel a little dejected as well.

…

“They’re fighting…they’re fighting…!” Mu Liang gasped out.

The sharp blade in Bai Yichen’s hand glimmered with a bright glow as his unparalleled sword will sliced through the Heaven and Earth. In fact, it was on a whole new level even compared to Lin Fan’s sword will.

“That doesn’t make sense…” Looking at how the other races were having such an easy time taking down the ancient race tribesmen, Lin Fan was even more bewildered.

Of course, it wasn’t because Lin Fan didn’t want the ancient race tribesmen to be eliminated. But, wasn’t everything going way too smoothly? Could he be overthinking things? Were those ancient race tribesmen really just plain dumb instead of just acting out?

SHING!

Suddenly, the entire sky reverberated for a moment. Even Lin Fan and the others had felt this aura.

“It’s here…” Lin Fan frowned. Indeed, it was as he had suspected. The ancient race had definitely prepared something this time around.

The skies in the distance began to darken gradually as grey clouds covered the entire stratosphere. Within those pitch-black clouds, a crack began to appear.

This was a relentless and desolate aura that surged out from within those darkened clouds. A loud clang of a bell rang through the entire skies.

“HAHAHA! You guys are finally here! I’ve been waiting for a long time now.”

A pitch-black figure appeared from within those cracks. This ancient race tribesman who had appeared was indefinitely stronger than the others present.

His single holler caused every single captured ascended being to bleed from their eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, while shattering their spirits.

“S-so strong…!” Even from a distance, Lin Fan could feel his blood starting to pump.

“This is really a tragedy.” Lin Fan sighed. Seemed like those guys were going to have to lay their lives here right now.

‘Desolate celestial lower level cultivation state.’

This was a cultivation state whereby Lin Fan did not find the guts to even give it a shot. The difference was so great that there could possibly be no chance at all.

The Xuanhuang World could not be taken as a good gauge of how things worked in the Ancient Saint World.

In the Xuanhuang World, no matter how strong the powers of the Heaven and Earth were, they were barely even 1% of that in the Ancient Saint World.

It was already practically an earth-shattering miracle that Lin Fan could take down beasts above his cultivation state. But to challenge someone three cultivation states above his? That was a fool’s dream.

…

Seeing the live scene, Bai Yichen’s face changed. He had not expected a Tribunus from the ancient race to come this time around!

In fact, the power of this tribunus was a tier higher than his own!

“Everyone, please retreat first.” Bai Yichen’s resolute face revealed a look of worry. Sword will emanated out from that seven-chi green sword in his hand, sealing the entire area behind him.

“Bai Yichen of the Sword race, you have sinned gravely for massacring countless ancient race tribesmen! To think that you would dare to appear so brazenly once more! You’re just courting death!” The ancient race tribunus stepped forth. However, that single step caused an immense amount of energy to burst out, “We’ve already surrounded this entire place. None of you shall even dream of leaving!”

Suddenly, a loud explosion burst out within the valleys. A large number of ancient race tribesmen surrounded the valley, forming a nestled formation.

Those initially excited ascended beings were now falling into despair on seeing how the situation was unfolding.

While their hearts were far from weak, this final ray of hope that had appeared was seemingly extinguished at this moment. They knew that nothing good would definitely come out of it if they fell into the hands of this pitch-black and hideous fella.

…

“Big Brother Lin, let’s hurry up and leave! There’s no way we can salvage this situation anymore!” The presence of these ancient race tribesmen had entirely dampened Mu Liang’s initially excited mood. The difference in strength was simply way too great! If anyone were to head up right now, they wouldn’t be called a hero. They would be called a retard instead!

“Brother Lin, there’s truly no longer hope for them.” Xia Zehua added on.

Lin Fan took the words of the righteous party members to his heart indeed. However, there was an indescribable sensation that was forming in his heart towards the scene that was unfolding.

But despite this sensation, there was practically no hope given his current strength. Heading forth would just be as good as throwing himself towards death.

‘Righteousness.’

This damned word. Why the hell was it so strange? Lin Fan wondered which b*stard came up with this word.

In the Xuanhuang World, Yours Truly was a kind-hearted youth who would lend his assistance to any form of grievances he encountered. The moment he met with situations where someone was bullying others, he would definitely step in and overwhelm everyone’s conviction with his imposingness.

But, if he were to just ignore the current situation right now, that would truly be quite the insult to his style.

But even so, how should he save them?

This was the question that was troubling Lin Fan right now.

On the battlefield, Bai Yichen was only struggling while defending continuously.

While most people would agree that masters of the sword possessed an air of superiority of their own, it was quite a pitiful sight for this Bai Yichen to receive such a tight slap in his face like this right after he had appeared.

“Brother Lin, let us retreat. A gentleman bides his time in wait for vengeance. One of these days, we’ll definitely get these ancient race tribesmen. But right now, our strength is indeed below theirs. It isn’t an act of cowardice to retreat, but a strategic move to preserve our strength.” Looking at how Lin Fan was still wavering at the spot, Xia Zehua said consolingly, thinking that Lin Fan’s dilemma was due to pride.

“That’s right, Big Brother Lin! The leader is right! We all know that you aren’t afraid of death, but the difference in power is really way too great! Even if we head up right now, we’ll just be sending ourselves to our deaths!” Mu Liang continued along.

“Hush…” Lin Fan waved his hands dismissively.

This was a precious opportunity right before his eyes.

As the great saying went, ‘Fortune favors the bold.’

If he missed this, there might not be another chance for it.

“That’s right…!” Suddenly, Lin Fan’s eyes sparkled. He had thought of a good strategy!

In fact, he could even kill two birds with one stone!

Chapter 482: Way Too Shameless And Despicable!

p>Given the current situation, danger lied in all directions. One misstep and they could easily be chopped down.

With a single move, this desolate celestial ancient race being could easily slice him up into 7-8 pieces. But of course, if he wanted to kill Lin Fan, that would be another story to tell altogether.

Blood Sea’s rebirth through blood was no joke. As long as one had a single drop of blood coupled with enough lifeforce, one could revive indefinitely.

While the Mythical Parasol Tree had yet to reach a state of maturity, the lifeforce provided by it was more than enough for Lin Fan to revive a couple of times.

“Brother Lin, what are you trying to do?” Xia Zehua could not help but ask nervously upon noticing that something was off with Lin Fan.

“Brother Lin, don’t tell me that you’re harboring thoughts of saving them! That’s plain suicide…!”

…

“Brother Xia, let me ask you this. The ancient race tribesmen possess an innate aura that suppresses ancient beasts. Does this mean that ALL ancient beasts would never ever attack any ancient race tribesmen?” Lin Fan asked.

“Not really. If it were an extremely high leveled beast, the suppression of the ancient race tribesmen’s innate aura would cease to work. Why do you ask that? Is there any issue?” Xia Zehua answered.

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart on hearing that. If that were the case, then everything would be dandy.

If he didn’t clarify this earlier on and things got messy later on, that would be extremely tragic.

“Brother Lin, just what is it that you’re trying to do? Just listen to my advice, please. Don’t be rash!” Xia Zehua continued.

Lin Fan tossed his hand and tilted his head up righteously, “Brother Xia, you do not have to say anything more about this issue. Ever since man was born, they were destined to die. But let me retain a loyal heart shining in the pages of history. Now that these people are in dire need of help, let me be the one to assist them!”

“Brother Lin, why can’t I understand anything you’re talking about? What’s this thing about a loyal heart and history and all?” Xia Zehua replied hurriedly.

The only path forth was a path of suicide!

Just then, Mu Liang, who had lowered his head while being deep in thought, reared his head suddenly. His face was righteous, “Leader, I can understand what Big Brother Lin is trying to say! Big Brother Lin, you’re right! I’ll follow you!”

“Alright, alright. Don’t just join in the fun for fun. I’ve just thought up of a good plan. All of you guys just stay here obediently.” Lin Fan did not want to continue the conversation with these clowns.

No matter how much more he said, it would only fall upon deaf ears. If he continued wasting time here, he didn’t know if those people could continue holding on much longer.

“Alright, just stop talking and listen to my orders.” Lin Fan waved down his hand. Noticing that something was off ahead, he darted forth immediately.

“Big Brother Lin…!”

“Brother Lin…!”

…

On the battlefield, Bai Yichen was filled with wounds right now. But with his nimble steps, he had managed to dodge a few fatal strikes.

In a duel between an azure celestial full cultivation being and a desolate celestial lower level being, it was already to Bai Yichen’s credit to be able to hold on for this long.

Members of the Sword race were ferocious in their attacks but weak in their defenses. The only reason why Bai Yichen was still holding on against this desolate celestial was because he had successfully combined the art of his attacks and defence together.

But even then, the situation was critical right now.

“Bai Yichen, the only fate that awaits you for going against the ancient race is death!” The desolate celestial laughed at the heavily wounded Bai Yichen.

Bai Yichen glared at this ancient race tribunus icily, “Hmph, even if you were to kill me, there are millions of our comrades who will fight the ancient race to the very end!”

All the other races beings who had followed Bai Yichen here were being suppressed by the rest of the ancient race tribesmen by now. Those ascended beings that were trapped in the cages had lost every single last bit of hope. Everything was over; there was no way out of this.

They had finally understood the situation.

Back in their Lower Worlds, they were powerful beings who had ruled over their worlds. But upon ascension, they finally realized that this was only the beginning of the nightmares.

“Bai Yichen! I shall hang your bodies in the base of the ancient race so that everyone shall know the consequences of messing with the ancient race!” The ancient race tribunus’s eyes sparkled. Like a typhoon, his aura suddenly rose and coiled around the surroundings.

Bai Yichen was struggling to hold on. Even though he knew that the only thing awaiting him was death, he wasn’t afraid. He was going to fight until his very last drop of blood.

“STOP…!”

Suddenly, Lin Fan appeared in the distance and rushed forth towards the ancient race tribunus.

Lin Fan was carrying the body of the three-headed king. Right now, he was entrusting all of his hope on this. Whether or not everything succeeded would depend on this right now.

“Huh?” Looking at someone new arriving, the ancient race tribunus was bewildered. He wondered what this fella was up to. Was this one of Bai Yichen’s accomplices?

But that didn’t really matter. Whether or not he was an accomplice, as long as he came further, the only outcome awaiting him was death as well.

Bai Yichen looked at the figure that was heading over in utter confusion. Who in the world was this?

“Who are you?” The ancient race tribunus asked cryptically.

Lin Fan looked over to the distance. Everything seemed calm between the Heaven and Earth, without any commotion. With that, he couldn’t help but feel slightly worried. Was everything that had been said about the bloodline of the ancient race nobles just a rumor?

But at this critical juncture, he had to maintain his composure and not waver.

“Oh, I’m a cook.” Lin Fan replied calmly. However, his attention was on the distant skies.

“Cook?” The ancient race tribunus was utterly confused. What in the world did this guy mean?

“That’s right! I’ve noticed that you guys seem hungry! Hence, I’ve prepared some food for you guys!” Lin Fan tossed the corpse of the three-headed king over to the tribunus.

THUD!

Landing on the ground, the gigantic body of the three-headed king fell with a loud thud.

The tribunus eyed the body beast’s body before eyeing Lin Fan sternly and asking, “Just who are you?”

Looking when the tribunus seemed ready to strike at any moment, Lin Fan replied hurriedly, “I-I’m a young youth who utterly respects the ancient race! My greatest wish is to join the ancient race as one of your tribesmen so that I can be someone as esteemed such as yourself!!!”

Lin Fan was getting nervous in his heart. ‘The three-headed king’s old daddy or mummy! Someone! Anyone! Please come!’

“HAHAHAHA…!” Upon hearing these words, the tribunus burst out into wild laughter.

“TRAITOR…!” Looking at Lin Fan, Bai Yichen’s face was filled with fury.

He had not expected to find someone here betraying them all of a sudden and siding with the ancient race!

“A wise man knows his circumstances! Look at this imposing and great ancient race lord who holds such charm! What dazzling brilliance he possesses…!” Lin Fan had to endure his vomit while spouting such cringe-inducing words. However, it was all for the sake of saving these guys!

“HAHAHA…! Good! Go on, carry on…!” This was the first time this tribunus had heard someone commenting himself as such. Therefore, his heart was overwhelmed with joy, “Say more and I will definitely take you under my wing!”

…

Just then, the skies in the distance began to darken gradually. A loud sound surged over as though many wild beasts were running rampant.

“WHO IS IT…? WHO WAS THE ONE WHO HAS KILLED MY SON?” Suddenly, a colossal figure descended from the skies. A gigantic three-headed king who was around few thousand feet tall appeared right before Lin Fan.

This towering figure caused Lin Fan to freeze up at the spot as well.

‘WASN’T THIS TOO GODDAMNED STRONG?’

“WHO WAS THE ONE WHO HAS KILLED MY CHILD…?” The three-headed king howled out furiously once more.

“IT’S HIM! THIS ANCIENT RACE BEING IS THE ONE WHO HAD KILLED YOUR SON!” Suddenly, Lin Fan pointed his finger at the tribunus and screamed out.

“HUH?” All six gigantic golden pupils of the three-headed king were fixated on this human right now.

“Oh great three-headed king lord, I have come forth with all these comrades from different races to seek vengeance for your son! This ancient race is darned vile! To think that they would chop off all three heads of your son! In fact, they were about to barbeque the body of your son before eating it up! That final cry that your son gave off as he died was unbearable to watch! In fact, all of our hearts shattered at that very moment!!!” Lin Fan wiped off beads of brimming tears from the edge of his eyes as he explained sorrowfully.

“YOU…!” The ancient race tribunus’s face changed as he watched this guy who had just praised him to the Heavens change sides almost immediately.

“NO! Don’t you try to deny! NO! Great three-headed king lord! This goddamned ancient race is really worse than any beast out there! He said that your son is not the only thing he wants to eat up! He even said that he would consume your aging mother and father! In fact, he even wanted to send his ancient race soldiers to ravage that beautiful wife of yours…”

“ENOUGH…!” The three-headed king hollered out in rage. By now, those golden pupils were burning with a raging fire.

“ANCIENT RACE! THE THREE HEADED KING RACE HAD ALWAYS KEPT A NEUTRAL STANCE AGAINST YOU GUYS! BUT TO THINK THAT YOU HAVE NOT ONLY MURDERED MY SON, BUT HARBOURED THOUGHTS OF HUMILIATING MY WIFE AS WELL? I’LL KILL YOU!” The three-headed king howled in rage as he struck out towards the tribunus.

“This is a misunderstanding…!” The face of the tribunus was completely stumped right now. Since when had he killed the other party’s son?!

But it was all too late. The three-headed king’s claws had already struck out…
