The Strongest System - Chapter 492
Chapter 492: Heaven-Defying Item.
p>The cave returned to its peaceful state. Now that the Earth spirit river was gone, all of those giants were nothing but lifeless rocks.
Lin Fan sat crosslegged. Looking at the materials before him, he contemplated deeply.
Crafting weapons was a skill that required deep knowledge. With even a little bit of tinkering, one could cause the materials to take on an entirely different form.
A single three-headed king’s horn… It was razor sharp, and gleamed with a frosty aura, repelling most people from having the courage to even touch it.
Lin Fan had a mist of Earth Spirit Qi as well, something that possessed miraculous uses.
‘How should I fuse them?’ He went silent for a while before taking out ten Biggra pills.
‘Biggra should be usable for this as well. I’ll leave it here for now then.’
‘Fck of Poison. This is an extremely cruel and inhumane item. Time to leave it here as well.’
Looking at these items, Lin Fan had already begun conceiving a basic idea of what he wanted to do. He then took out his Eternal Axe.
‘While this three-headed king’s horn is sleek and sharp on the outside, it does not possess any explosive impact. I’ve got modify this.’
Taking up his Eternal Axe, Lin Fan began to carve with it. And the object of reference for this modification was an item that was used commonly: the screw. A screw had threads that were formed in a helical shape around it. To Lin Fan, this requirement was a must.
Looking at the pitch-black horn of the three-headed king and his perfectly carved product, Lin Fan was filled with a deep sense of satisfaction. Seemed like Yours Truly was really great at art and craft!
‘Hais…’ Lin Fan sighed deeply once more. Suddenly, he felt that he had a really tough life.
Back then when he had suddenly awakened in this world, he was appointed to the position of a punching bag immediately. He had to bear all sorts of torments before he could finally enjoy life. But it was as though the world itself bore a grudge against him. Whatever he feared, the world gave it to him.
Following that, he continued on his path till he could finally stand on top of the Xuanhuang World. And once more, just as Lin Fan thought that he was finally able to enjoy life, he was sent up to this Ancient Saint World.
Even though he heard that the Ancient Saint World was pretty dangerous, he was actually kind of skeptical about it at first. How dangerous could it be, right? But upon arriving here, he finally understood that there were only two words for it.
Fcking dangerous.
‘Work hard and rise up once more!’ Lin Fan consoled himself in his heart before focusing his mind back on the weapon crafting process.
‘Heaven and Earth Smelt!’
Lin Fan tossed the carved horn within the Heaven and Earth Smelt. Lifting his finger, the Qi from the Earth spirit spiraled within as well.
All ten Biggras were tossed in afterward, as they exploded within.
Soon after that was the entry of Fck of Poison, which fused together with the effects of Biggra synergistically.
‘Craft weapon!’
Given his current mastery of weapon crafting, he could be considered the Grandmaster of all Grandmasters. The moment he wanted to craft a weapon, many options appeared on his system’s panel.
Countless categories of weapons appeared. However, to Lin Fan, none of these fit his demands. He canceled every single option and continued his manual crafting.
Ving…ving…!
The Heaven and Earth Smelt vibrated as though it was undergoing some tremendous change.
Looking at the changes in the Heaven and Earth Smelt, Lin Fan was stumped momentarily. Given the current circumstances, was the Heaven and Earth Smelt going to produce some earth-shattering type of treasure?
In the past, crafting weapons was always something that happened in the blink of an eye. Why was it so slow this time around?
‘Yours Truly’s demands aren’t too high! All I ask for is a legendary weapon! Let’s go!’ Lin Fan placed his palms together and began praying.
Back then, he could even craft a legendary weapon out of a single brick. That was evidence that the system’s weapon crafting module could produce ANYTHING in this world. Even trash materials would have a percentage of producing a legendary weapon.
However, it was taking a really long time now. It was time for the percentages to do their work!
‘Go on forth! Lady luck, please shine on me!’ Lin Fan heaved out heavily with anticipation.
BAM!
The Heaven and Earth Smelt gave a sudden jerk before coming to a still. Lin Fan gulped down his saliva. Looking at the lid of the Heaven and Earth Smelt, he was getting nervous now.
If a trash item were to come out, he would have really lived for nothing now.
‘Based on Yours Truly’s capabilities, this should work…’ Lin Fan had faith in himself as he used a finger to open the lid of the Heaven and Earth Smelt.
SHING!
A piercing burst of light shot out immediately.
“Ouch! That stings…!” Lin Fan covered his eyes with one hand, blinded by this ray of light.
‘What’s happening? Could it be as Yours Truly has predicted, that a legendary weapon has been produced?’ Lin Fan was filled with anticipation. This light was simply too bedazzling blinding!
‘Ding…Congratulations on crafting success.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on crafting a cruel and inhumane sharp weapon. Grade: Undetermined.’
“Huh…?” Upon hearing the notifications of the system, Lin Fan was both surprised and startled. This was the first time something like this had happened.
By the time the light diminished, and Lin Fan caught sight of his treasure, his heart jerked tremendously. An extremely sharp item floated gently in the Heaven and Earth Smelt. It was bronze colored, with the threads of a screw.
This unknown object was around the thickness of a screw, and measured 1 chi long. It emitted a calm, ghastly glow.
‘Please name it.’
Lin Fan gulped his saliva. He could not help but feel that there was something strange about this item. If he had to give this item a name, he felt that he should definitely give it something big.
In terms of its shape, it looked similar to a drill. But calling it a drill would sound too gaudy.
Finally, Lin Fan thought up of a really suitable name for this.
‘Flying Heavens.’
‘Ding…Naming succeeded. Binding.’
…
Any weapon that was personally crafted by Lin Fan was automatically bound to him. No matter who it was, they could never steal the ownership of the weapon. Hence, he was always very causal towards his weapons.
Lin Fan stretched out his hand, ‘Flying Heavens! Come to Daddy!’
Lin Fan wanted to know about the characteristics of this Flying Heaven. And that could only be determined after he had touched it for himself.
‘Ding…Congratulations on discovering Flying Heavens.’
‘Flying Heavens: Fused from the three-headed king’s horn, Earth Spirit Qi, Biggra, and Fck of Poison.’
‘Effects: Able to fuse together as one with the great Earth. Spiralling with a high revolution per minute, it can pierce through anything. Anyone struck by it would suffer pain beyond any descriptions in this world. Possesses two innate BUFFS within.’
Upon reading the description, Lin Fan broke out into a chuckle and tossed Flying Heavens into the ground.
Immediately, as though it was melded into a single body with the Earth, Flying Heavens fused into the ground.
However, Lin Fan could still sense Flying Heavens rotating at an insanely furious speed beneath the ground.
‘Fly for me!’
Lin Fan called out. Suddenly, that Flying Heavens which was hidden under the ground burst out. It was so fast that it was almost like a laser beam. This was definitely unpredictable!
“HAHA!” Lin Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. Not bad! This was some sick sh*t!
If he were to get into a fight with anyone from now on, he could just hide Flying Heavens beneath the ground. Catching the other party unaware, he could then summon it out with its crazy revolving speed, and pierce through the other person’s anus!
By then, no matter what sort of a powerful being they were, they would definitely have to cower under the might of Yours Truly!
‘Hais! Seems like I’ve misnamed it! Should have named it the Godly Anus Needle. But oh well, forget it, Flying Heavens is pretty decent too.’ Lin Fan was really satisfied right now. He felt as though he was floating in the Heavens himself.
Yours Truly was a true genius indeed!
To think that he could even think of such a treasure to craft out. What sort of a sick genius was this?
“HAHA…!!!”
The entire cave was filled with a roaring maniacal laughter.
Lin Fan tossed his robes back and returned from where he came from. Now that he had the Earth spirit under him, leaving was naturally not an issue any longer.
Now that this was the case, he definitely had to see what was going on with the ancient race tribunus and the three-headed king.
Now that so much time had passed, he didn’t know if they would still be there.
However, no matter how slim the chances might be, Lin Fan would still definitely feel regret if he didn’t take a look for himself either way.
Chapter 493: Time For Yours Truly To Strut His Stuff!
p>The desolate grounds were a gigantically vast and empty place. Every once in a while, a beast or two would pass by here. Even then, they would often leave quickly. A place like this was something they couldn’t be bothered with even in the least bit.
Other than a desolate piece of land, there was nothing else here.
The Ancient Saint World was a humongous place. There were tons of places like these desolate grounds, danger grounds, et cetera. In fact, even those beings who had termed themselves as the utmost eight beings of the ancient race couldn’t claim that they had a complete picture of how the entire Ancient Saint World looked like.
Suddenly, a hand popped out from the ground.
“Finally, I’m out! Seems like after I took in the Earth spirit river, I can indeed make use of its mythical properties.”
To any commoner, the Earth was like an impenetrable fortress. However, to Lin Fan, the Earth right now was like a second home. Seemed like from now on, he would have a new method of preserving his life.
‘Where is that ancient race tribunus and the three-headed king? What was the end result of that day?’ Lin Fan looked around his surroundings. This was the location that he had leaped down from the other day. But right now, everywhere was desolate, without any commotion.
‘Okay, this patch of black blood here should belong to the ancient race tribunus. That patch there should be the three-headed king’s. Seems like things must have gotten real exciting up here after I tumbled down.’ Lin Fan looked around at two distinct patches of blood as he thought to himself.
Seemed like the final result must have ended in the death of one of them, or both of them. In fact, their deaths must have been utterly gruesome, with tons of anus play.
The effects of Biggra were no joke man! Especially since there was such a huge amount of Biggras given, that must have been enough for them to have their entire hearts burst out with the wildness.
Perhaps after the both of them dueled to their end, members of the ancient race or the three-headed kings race might have come down to retrieve their bodies.
‘What a pity.’ Lin Fan sighed. If only he could have gotten the kills for both of them that day, his power level would definitely have spiked up considerably.
But then again, if he hadn’t headed down, he wouldn’t have discovered the Earth spirit river. Through that episode, he had crafted a special weapon as well as strengthened his physical body state by quite a bit.
‘You gain some, you lose some.’
Seemed like that saying was right after all.
After thinking about this point, Lin Fan no longer harbored any more regrets towards this topic. After all, there were so many powerful beings in the Ancient Saint World, and he couldn’t kill them all down.
Even the small little Xuanhuang World had already possessed tons of miraculous encounters for him. Now that this Ancient Saint World was so large that even the eight utmost beings of the ancient race couldn’t cover it completely, there must be tons of other opportunities awaiting him.
Now that he had crafted another legendary weapon, the Flying Heavens, Lin Fan’s confidence level received yet another booster.
While the official grading of Flying Heavens wasn’t exactly legendary, it was a weapon that specialized in stealth. Sneak attacks were even more vicious than any other forms of offensive moves.
Furthermore, the crafting process wasn’t all that difficult. Even if Lin Fan destroyed this current one by chance, all he had to do was look for another three-headed king’s horn to craft out another one.
In fact, all of the credit for this should belong to the Earth spirit river. A connate spirit was different indeed. Even the methods of usages were simply spectacular.
Just then, the skies rumbled in the distance. It was as though a thunderstorm was approaching. Lin Fan frowned as he sensed the atmosphere from a distance.
This was no thunderstorm.
This was a fight between two powerful beings. The question was, what sort of beings were they?
‘It’d be great if they’re from the ancient race. Time to see if I can get any rewards out of this.’ Lin Fan was filled with anticipation as he moved a hundred miles ahead with a single step.
This sort of speed was something that even tearing and traveling through the void could not achieve.
The various mythical usages of the Earth spirit river were far from simple, let alone its traveling speed.
In fact, even those magical ‘distance lapsing’ skills of the legends might be nothing compared to it.
…
“Senior brother…!”
In the void, a man draped in gray robes was heavily injured. Falling down from the sky, three men and two women were in a nerve-wrecked state, as they protectively covered this young man immediately. They had been surrounded by the ancient race.
‘Urgh…!’
This gray robed young man spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably. He glared up into the skies at an ancient race tribesman with a look of shock in his eyes.
He had not expected to bump into such a vile ancient race tribesman in such an isolated place like the desolated grounds.
“Know your place. How dare the Star Sect head over here to scout out news about the ancient race? Are you guys tired of living?” The ancient race tribesman in the sky was malevolent. His furious demeanor surged through the skies as he looked down at these ants in absolute disdain.
Li Tianquan was the Big senior brother of Star Sect. He had brought along his junior brothers and sisters to these desolate grounds to scout out news about the ancient race.
Now that the ancient race was so overbearing, their reach was practically laid all around the world.
In fact, there were even spies of the ancient race amongst these thousands of other races out there. Slowly sapping away at everyone’s strength, the ancient race was extending their influence every single day, till they inevitably took down everyone else.
An ancient race tribesman of such a high cultivation state should not be wandering in a desolate ground such as this. However, just as these members of the Star Sect were entering the ancient race territory to scout out news, they were discovered by the ancient race.
There was only a single possibility for this: Their movements had long been revealed by someone.
Looking at the scene before them, those three men and two women were filled with fear.
All of them were locals of the Ancient Saint World, not people who had ascended from the Lower Worlds. Even though they had always heard of the ruthlessness of the ancient race, they had never come across a true ancient race being. This was the first time they had caught sight of the ancient race for themselves. Naturally, they were beyond horrified right now.
“Senior brother…!” Both of his Li Tianquan’s junior sisters leaned in close to him in fright.
“Do not fear. I’ll hold back these damned beasts. The three of you! Take your junior sisters and leave first!” Li Tianquan took in a deep breath. At the same time, he was filled with helplessness.
It was good enough that these five junior brothers and sisters of his could even exert half of their strength in the face of the threatening aura being emitted by these ancient race tribesmen.
After all, all of them had grown up in an extremely sheltered environment.
Li Tianquan was someone who had ascended from the Star world. Back in the Star world, he had walked the path step by step towards the peak. No matter the sort of trials and tribulations he faced, no matter the blood and sweat that was shed, he grit his teeth through all of it.
Therefore, his tenacity on the battlefield was definitely something these junior brothers and sisters could never ever match up to.
“Hehe… Those two girls look extremely tender and smooth. I must definitely have some good fun with them when I’m back.”
“All of these women from the thousands of races out there are way too weak. Most of them would die after being ravished by us just a few mere times. What a bunch of weak pansies!”
The ancient race soldiers revealed dirty looks of indecency as they eyed these two women.
“Senior brother…!” Upon hearing such shameless words from those soldiers, these two women were even more frightened. Those petite bodies of theirs began to shiver uncontrollably.
“Listen to me. Just run later on.” Li Tianquan was struggling to sustain the rumbling Blood Qi within his body.
Ever since he had ascended from the Star world, he had broken down mentally before. He had gone through anguish and despair as well. However, under the guidance of his mentor, he managed to regain his confidence bit by bit.
But this time around, he had been too careless. To think that this ancient race being would be an azure celestial middle level.
“Senior brother, what about you?”
“It’s alright. It’s good as long as all of you leave first. I’ll hold down these bunch of beasts.” Li Tianquan glared at these ancient race tribesmen icily. Seemed like he was going to fall here today.
“Remember. After you get back, all of you have got to sniff out that snitch!” Li Tianquan added on.
“HAHA! What are you guys sneakily talking about? Are you thinking about running? Are you dreaming?! I am a great chiliarch of the ancient race, Gu Ba! Do you guys truly think that you can get to run away from me?” The ancient race chiliarch burst out laughing maniacally. As he slapped out his pitch-black hands, the entire void around them began to vibrate.
“Sealing the void?! That’s impossible…!” Seeing this scene, Li Tianquan exclaimed out in disbelief. Wasn’t that something that could only be done by a desolate celestial and above?
“There’s nothing impossible in this world…” The ancient race chiliarch laughed icily. Everything was under his control right now. With a single wave of his palm, he slapped out. This slap brought with it a tremendous force as it tore through the void and came straight at Li Tianquan and the others.
Li Tianquan’s face changed as he pointed out with his finger.
‘Star Attractor!’
This was the cultivation basis for people of the Star world. By attracting the forces of the stars, their strikes would possess the boundless powers from the stars beyond.
“Hmph, that’s useless! You are simply way too weak!” The ancient race chiliarch smirked. Disregarding this power of the Star Attractor, his palm crushed through everything there was.
‘Urgh…!’
Li Tianquan spat out a mouthful of blood as a void of despair began to form within his heart. He had not expected this ancient race chiliarch to be this strong…!
Chapter 494: A Sweeping Sword Will
p>”Hehehe…!”
The ancient race soldiers jeered as they inched closer towards those of the Star world. Those invasive gazes they cast on the two women were more chilling than ever. At the end of the day, the ancient race was still the most disgusting race in the entire Ancient Saint World.
If these two women were to be ravished by such beings, they wouldn’t even have the will to commit suicide.
“Senior brother…!” These two female disciples hid behind Li Tianquan closely. However, at this point in time, Li Tianquan was close to breaking down physically. His wounds had started spreading, and he could barely move a muscle.
“ANCIENT RACE! DON’T YOU GO OVERBOARD!” Li Tianquan howled. He knew that if no one were to step in this situation, the outcome of his two junior sisters would be beyond nightmarish.
“Overboard? The ancient race is blessed by the Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World. Everything we do is in accordance to the Heavens. In fact, it’s their good fortune that my fellow race beings could even take a liking to them. This is an honor beyond what their lives are even worth!” The ancient race chiliarch guffawed out. The more these ants struggled, the more excited he got.
“YOU…!” Li Tianquan’s eyes were bloodshot right now. However, there was nothing he could do. If he knew that this would be the case, he would have never brought them along no matter the circumstances. But, it was all too late by now.
“DON’T YOU COME OVER! DON’T YOU GUYS DARE TO TOUCH OUR JUNIOR SISTERS!” The other three men were pale as well as they glared at these ancient race tribesmen with trembling hands. They were truly afraid right now.
“We’ll just eat up these three later on then. They should taste pretty decent.”
“That’s right. I heard that beings of the Star world are filled with the taste of the power of the stars. That should be pretty delicious!”
“HAHA…! Know your places, trash! How dare you trashes come and act so insolently in our ancient race territory?”
…
As the ancient race soldiers got ever closer, the only things that were looming on the minds of these Star world beings were just clouds of despair.
This despair rose like a surging foam within them; there was no escape at all.
“We must absolutely not let these foul things defile our bodies!’ Suddenly, the frightened looks on those two women turned into a firm and resolute expression.
“HAHA! Here we come…!” The ancient race beings stretched out their dirty hands.
“STOP…!!!” Li Tianquan howled in anger. However, the only things that he got in return were sniggers and jeers.
…
“All of you, stop right there! How dare you bunch of beasts commit acts of such indecency under the glorious daylight? This is disgusting! Where are your morals?”
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from the distance.
“Who’s there?” Li Tianquan’s heart jerked momentarily. To them, the assistance of anyone right now would be a form of salvation!
The chiliarch of the ancient race frowned as he looked into the distance.
Far in the distance, a man walked over calmly with his hands behind his back.
Lin Fan had not expected to see such vile acts upon arriving in his place. However, coming across something like this had him quite elated.
These were the type of things he loved coming across the most. Not only could he rescue people, he would even play off a wonderful act.
Ever since he arrived in the Ancient Saint World, it had been pretty difficult for him to carry out acts due to his lack of power. After all, everything relied on brute power. If he didn’t have power, all his acts of bullsht could easily turn him into a real pile of sht.
But now that he had increased his power level, Lin Fan was filled with confidence about himself as well.
To him, other than the leader of these ancient race beings ahead, the rest were simply cannon fodder.
Li Tianquan looked at the man who was approaching in utter bewilderment, wondering who it could be.
However, upon realizing that the help was only a single person, he couldn’t help but worry again once more. This was a chiliarch of the ancient race they were talking about! Not only that, he was an azure celestial middle-level being!
“All of you can relax now. With me around, these ancient race beings can’t do anything to you guys.” Lin Fan replied calmly. That relaxed expression on his face seemed to be telling everyone that this was a casual matter that he could brush off really easily.
“Such bold words! Who are you?” The chiliarch laughed icily. He couldn’t be bothered much with this new person who had arrived now. To this ancient race chiliarch, all those beings from the thousands of races out there were nothing but mere ants.
Lin Fan chuckled. Ignoring the chiliarch completely, he walked over to Li Tianquan.
All the other ancient race soldiers barked fiercely at this random guy who was just walking over.
“We’ll eat him up…!” These ancient race soldiers hollered as they leaped at Lin Fan.
“Beware…!” Li Tianquan exclaimed out in reflex.
Looking at ancient race soldiers, Lin Fan smirked.
“A bunch of beasts. Know your places.” Lin Fan could not care less about these soldiers. With a wave of his hand, a sweeping Sword Will burst out through the entire place.
One by one, these materialized Sword Wills pierced through the void and tunneled through the bodies of these soldiers.
‘Ding…Congratulations on killing utmost celestial full cultivation ancient race soldier.’
‘Ding…Experience points +…’
…
The experience points given by these soldiers were so little that they were practically negligible to Lin Fan.
…
“Huh…?” Looking at how this man who had just arrived could slay these ancient race soldiers with just a sweep of his hand, Li Tianquan was absolutely astounded.
Powerful being!
This was an absolutely powerful being!
“You’re from the Sword world?” The chiliarch naturally assumed this random person who had arrived to be from the Sword world given his incredible mastery of the Sword Will. After all, only those from the Sword world could possess such a devastating Sword Will!
“Fellow brother, are you alright?” Once again, Lin Fan ignored the chiliarch completely as he looked at Li Tianquan calmly.
This gaze of Lin Fan!
This expression of his!
This calm disposition!
All of these qualities spread out through the entire place immediately.
Looking at the man before him, Li Tianquan’s heart could not help but skip a beat in gratitude. He then cusped his fists thankfully, “My utmost gratitude for the assistance of a Sword race member. Li Tianquan could not ever thank you enough.”
Lin Fan chuckled casually as he tossed over a pill, “I’m not from the Sword world. Here, this is a pill that can heal up your injuries.”
Looking at this golden pill in his hand, Li Tianquan popped it down without hesitation after thanking Lin Fan once more. He then entered a recuperative state.
“Thank you for saving us!” The two women looked at this man with an exceptional demeanor. Those pretty, tender faces of theirs blushed slightly.
“It is my principle as someone from the human race to lend my assistance against any injustice I bump into in this pugilistic world.” Sweeping his robes, Lin Fan raised his head gently towards the sky and replied.
Looking at this stylish pose of Lin Fan, the two women from the Star Sect could not stop their palpitating hearts as they lowered their heads gently in shyness.
In their hearts, they were fluttering, ‘This man is so cool! He’s so charming…!’
Li Tianquan, who was recuperating right now, was stunned at these words as well. He had not expected this man to be of the human race!
After all, the human race was a really rare sight these days.
…
“YOU B*STARD! I’m the great chiliarch who’s talking to you right here! Can’t you hear me? I’m going to bloody eat you up! Do you believe me?” This chiliarch who was floating in the sky yelled out consistently. He had not expected this man to disregard his words entirely! This caused him to feel really upset.
He was a great chiliarch of the ancient race! Even within the race, he was an esteemed figure! To think that he was being ignored by an ant of the thousands of races out there right now! Outrageous!
“Hmph! I’ve never felt the need to communicate with scums who are about to die.” Lin Fan turned his head around. As he did so, a gentle breeze picked up and sent his long hair fluttering gracefully in the air. That calm disposition erupted out even further.
“So…cool!!!” Looking at Lin Fan’s back view, those two female disciples could almost feel their whole hearts popping out!
Lin Fan smiled gently.
Seemed like maintaining his cool was still the best way at attracting attention.
Chapter 495: This Dazzling Grace Is Unparalleled In The World!
p>”Insolent! So damn bloody insolent! Anyone who had dared to speak with me as such has already been devoured by me! To think that even a puny Sword race being such as yourself would dare to do the same before me? You must be really tired of living!” The ancient race chiliarch’s face was malevolent right now. That furious gaze of his was like he was bent on devouring Lin Fan.
“Yours Truly is not from the Sword race! Yours Truly is a human! Don’t think that anyone who plays with swords is from the Sword race, you idiot!” Lin Fan looked at the ancient race chiliarch in the sky calmly without a single bit of fear.
Azure celestial middle level.
Even though he could not deny that this was a pretty strong cultivation state, it still wasn’t enough to take down Lin Fan. Things MIGHT get a little tricky later on, but that would depend on the situation as well.
“Human…HAHAHA! That’s the ant race that has remained as cowards for the past 10,000 years! What a living joke!” The ancient race chiliarch laughed out in disdain. His face then turned cold immediately, “You shall lay down your life as well for killing my fellow ancient race tribesmen!”
“HAHA! Anyone can lay down threats. But if you’ve got the guts, you better come at me with all you’ve got. Otherwise, you’re gonna die regretting you didn’t do so.” Lin Fan guffawed as he beckoned to the ancient race chiliarch with his hands.
“Hmph! I don’t need my full strength to take you down!” The chiliarch’s face turned stern as a massive amount of energy surged out from within his body.
‘Moving Mountains!’
Suddenly, the body of the ancient race chiliarch turned into a streak out light as he burst out at Lin Fan.
“Watch out…!” Li Tianquan warned cautiously at this scene.
“Ant of the human race! This chiliarch here shall tear you down into pieces!” The ancient race chiliarch hollered. Surrounded by a black mist of light, he tore through the void.
A series of explosions boomed out across the Heavens and Earth.
“Oh? You wanna come at me head on? You’re practically asking to be humiliated.” Lin Fan could not help but burst out laughing at the way this chiliarch chose to attack. With a war cry, Lin Fan burst out from the ground himself to receive the blow.
“HAHA! You guys of the human race are just puny and feeble! To clash with my innately strong body of the ancient race? You’re just asking for it!” The chiliarch could not stop laughing as though he was facing the biggest joke in this world.
The ancient race tribesmen were born with a strong body to begin with. As they grew up with time, their bodies only got stronger to unimaginable standards. Amongst the thousands of races out there, the Vajra race stood out particularly in terms of physical body toughness. However, even they themselves could not deny the prowess of the ancient race’s physical body state.
Just taking one of the previous utmost eight beings, the Ancient One, as example, even after he was severed into pieces, he was still alive. At the same time, each individual body part of his retained a bit of his consciousness.
Even the current Lin Fan did not possess that sort of an unfathomable power.
One could even describe those powers as divinely.
However, Lin Fan could not be bothered with the physical body state of this chiliarch before him.
‘Eternal Immortality’ had long been evolved by Lin Fan into this peerlessly supreme physical body skill. If one were to max out its level, it would provide even more miraculous abilities. That wasn’t something that some pariah ancient race tribesmen could compete with.
“You’re just courting death!” Lin Fan laughed coldly. Churning out Blood Sea, the Blood Qi within his body rumbled continuously. That boundless amount of Blood Qi surrounded his entire body densely as his body gleamed with a red glow.
BAM!
A gigantic explosion sounded.
“H-how could this be…?” The chiliarch had thought that he had this human for sure! But to his astonishment, clashing with this human was like clashing against a mountain! This man was like an immovable force that was just rampaging forth!
BAM!
Under this immense force produced by Lin Fan, the body of the ancient race chiliarch changed rapidly. A dent formed in his chest as he coughed out a mouthful of stinky, fresh blood.
“How could a human like you possess such a strong physical body state? Impossible! Absolutely impossible…!’” That massive body of the chiliarch collapsed onto the ground in a thud as a look of shock spread out across his face.
He could not believe that a single human could be this strong! To think that even the body, about which they were so proud of as ancient race tribesmen, could not match up against this human!
“Hmph! Pitting your physical body against Yours Truly? That’s like an amateur trying to perform his stunts in front of a master!” Lin Fan laughed back coldly with his strike.
Even though Eternal Immortality was strong, that wasn’t all there was to it. With the addition of Blood Sea, he was practically unparalleled.
If he could train up to its fullest potential, Lin Fan had the confidence that he could make a mess out of this world with just his physical body state alone!
By now, Li Tianquan was absolutely flabbergasted by the sight before him. It was hard to imagine that there was someone in the thousands of races out there that could just compete with an ancient race tribesman with just his physical body state alone!
That was just completely horrifying!
Back in the Star world, Li Tianquan was an overlord that reigned supreme over the four regions of his world. Even though most of his skills were related to attracting the powers of the stars, there was also an aspect of that which would boost their physical body states. However, even that amount of strengthening could hardly match up to just the innate physical body states of these ancient race tribesmen to begin with.
Therefore, the fact that this human could stand up to the ancient race tribesman’s physical body state was even more shocking to him.
“Just what sort of skill is he cultivating?” Standing there, Li Tianquan looked at Lin Fan with absolutely bedazzled eyes. His heart was filled with bewilderment.
Even though working on improving one’s physical body state could bring about tremendous benefits, everyone knew that the path to achieving it was extremely arduous and tremendous.
Li Tianquan had once come across a man who died in the path of training up his physical body state. Both his physical and mental state were shattered as he was eaten alive by the pain of it all.
“Senior brother, he’s so strong!” The three junior brothers of his stared at this human who had saved them. To think that he could take down this chiliarch all by himself was an amazing feat!
At the same time, they were overwhelmed with joy. This meant that they would no longer have to die at this place!
As for those two female disciples, their gazes were long intoxicated by that dazzling Lin Fan. That single clash of the physical bodies moved ripples within their hearts as well.
In their entire lives, Lin Fan was the manliest of all men they had come across. How imposing! How mighty!
…
“BSTARD! YOU DAMNED BSTARD! HOW DARE YOU MESS ME UP LIKE THIS? I SWEAR THAT I’LL DEFINITELY TEAR YOU UP!” The ancient race chiliarch howled in fury. That dent in his chest rose up once more as though nothing had happened to it.
“YOU DAMNED HUMAN! YOU’VE COMPLETELY RILED ME TO NO ENDS! I SHALL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT ANYONE WHO MESSES WITH AN ANCIENT RACE CHILIARCH SUCH AS MYSELF WILL COME TO NO GOOD END!”
Suddenly, a sinister aura burst forth from the chiliarch’s body.
A string of beads shot out from his body.
The moment this string of beads came forth, Lin Fan’s eyes frowned.
It wasn’t that the string of beads was extremely strong. However, the aura that was being emanated was pretty weird. Lin Fan who, had been consistently searching for the ways to craft out true weapons, was someone who was especially sensitive to such auras.
“That’s a treasure! How could an ancient race chiliarch such as yourself possess that true treasure?” The moment Li Tianquan caught sight of that string of beads, the color drained from his face.
“Watch out! Those are some extremely strong beads he’s wielding!” Li Tianquan warned Lin Fan warily.
“HAHA! Not bad. To think that would recognize the powers of this treasure. Let me tell you then! The reason why all of you from the thousands of races out there aren’t able to craft out true treasures is because the Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World is always watching out for the ancient race tribesmen! All of those trash items that you guys craft are nothing in the eyes of the ancient race!” The ancient race chiliarch continued his maniacal laughter.
“Hehehe…! This string of beads in my hands was created from the vengeful grudges of 999 different races! And you, human? You shall be the 1,000th! With that, these Soul Devouring Beads would truly break through! HAHAHA…!”
…
Lin Fan’s brows creased. What the hell did that mean? Could it be that a true treasure was something like that thing in the hands of this ancient race chiliarch? And the reason why anyone from the thousands of races out there couldn’t craft them was because they were restricted by the Heaven’s Will of this world?
If that were the case, then what the hell was up with Yours Truly’s Demon City and Flying Heavens?
‘Forget it. I’ll think about that later. Time to take him down first.’
Chapter 496: Extreme Violence
p>”Human! Be the nutrients that you’re meant to be for my Soul Devouring Beads obediently!” The ancient race chiliarch cried out. Clapping both hands together, a thick and dense amount of Saint Spirit Qi burst out and surrounded those Soul Devouring Beads.
Suddenly, a deep aura of resentment rose into the air instantly. Countless ghastly faces were howling out in anguish within this aura of resentment. This was the combined grudges of all those people of the hundreds of races.
As an ancient race chiliarch, he was in charge of capturing thousands of beings from the other races. Torturing them immensely, those actions would cause a large amount of spiteful grudges to be emanating out. Using a unique technique to gather them, he then cultivated them into this horrifying treasure.
Suddenly, the string of beads enlarged. One by one, those pitch-black beads were replaced by a series of human heads that were howling out in anguish altogether.
“HAHA…! Human, your death has arrived!’ Looking at the skies of resentment, the chiliarch could not stop his laughter.
Li Tianquan was almost fully recovered as he stood up immediately. Using both hands, he twisted his fingers to form numerous symbols and signs in the air.
‘Shattered Star!’
In that instance, Li Tianquan gathered the power of the stars immediately. This beam of starburst shot out towards the Soul Devouring Beads.
“Swallow that up!” The chiliarch called out. Immediately, those 999 heads opened their mouths and sent a black mist that encompassed the entire sky. Regrouping together, those 999 heads formed a gigantic skull of their own in the sky.
Within that skull, a pitch black fire was raging on it. Opening its gigantic mouth, it swallowed the entire starburst whole.
“HAHAHA…!” The chiliarch laughed out wildly. “A small little mantis trying to stop a chariot? Know your place!”
“This…!” Seeing this sight, Li Tianquan coughed out a fresh mouthful of blood once more. Since he had forcefully used the powers of the stars before he had even recovered completely, the burden on his body was naturally heavy as well.
“TODAY, ALL OF YOU SHALL DIE HERE!” The chiliarch howled.
…
“Junior brothers and sisters! All of you! Run first!” Li Tianquan ordered.
“What about you, Senior brother?”
“I have to stay here! This fellow brother here has saved our lives! How can I just abandon him like this?” Li Tianquan looked at that aura of resentment spreading through the sky without a single bit of hesitation.
This time around, he truly felt a deep despair without any hope left. The only thing left in his heart right now was indignance. Why? Why was it that the Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World would choose to side with such a brutal and cruel race?
…
“This is the so-called treasure of yours which you so proudly claim that no one else of the thousands of other races could create?” Looking at everything, Lin Fan’s mouth curled into a smirk of disdain. Even though he did not know what exactly was happening right now, one thing was for sure. If something like THIS could be considered a treasure, then what had Yours Truly been crafting all this while?
“Why? Are you getting cold feet now?” The chiliarch asked.
“Cold feet?” Lin Fan burst out laughing. “Is there anything in this world which could give the great Lin Fan cold feet? You had better open your doggish eyes wide to see what a real treasure really is!”
“Demon City, come on out…!” With a long howl, Lin Fan’s Demon City rose up and floated gently in the sky.
“H-how could this be…?” Looking at the treasure that appeared from Lin Fan’s side, Li Tianquan’s face was filled with disbelief.
In order to obtain a treasure like this, beings from the thousands of races out there would have to loot it from killing ancient race tribesmen! It was definitely impossible for someone to craft something like this on their own!
This palm-sized Demon City began to grow and enlarge while emanating a Demonic Qi till the entire sky was covered.
“Rip that apart!”
ROAR!
Within the middle of the Demon City, the colossal body of the big ancient demon appeared, towering above everything else. Stretching out his gigantic hand, it was as though everything else in this world was under the control of that palm.
The energy of the Earth spirit river flowed through the hands of the big ancient demon as well.
BAM!
The malevolent looking gigantic skull howled madly, covering the entire sky with a black mist. It coiled around the arm of the big ancient demon, as though it was keen on devouring it. However, something like this was practically just an ant to the big ancient demon.
Even though it was a semi-finished, pseudo-legendary weapon, Demon City had still been through Lin Fan’s cultivation process. Furthermore, now that it was infused with the Earth spirit river and a large amount Demonic Qi and essence blood of ancient beasts, it was pretty darn formidable right now.
“HOW DID YOU OBTAIN THAT TREASURE, HUMAN?” The ancient race chiliarch hollered out in disbelief towards this scene.
“SUPPRESS…!” Lin Fan snorted coldly. The Earth spirit river shot out from the Demon City and coiled itself around the big ancient demon’s arm.
BAM!
A dull exploding sound rang out. The big ancient demon had crushed that gigantic skull into dust immediately. Turning into countless particles, that resentment aura was scattered in the air.
“I-impossible! My Soul Devouring Beads!” The ancient race chiliarch’s eyes were bloodshot right now. He could not believe that his treasure could have been destroyed by a single human!
“IMPOSSIBLE! GATHER!”
These scattered particles of the resentment aura tried to group together once more. However, all of these were just tonic for the big ancient demon. Opening his gigantic mouth, he vacuumed everything in with a gigantic gust of suction.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…!!!”
The ancient race chiliarch howled out in anguish. That resentment aura was gathered by him after a long time of tireless hard work! To think that it would be absorbed just like that!
“You damned human! How dare you destroy my treasure! I’LL KILL YOU!!!”
Looking at this agonized ancient race chiliarch, Lin Fan was overwhelmed with joy. By now, this chiliarch was as good as meat on his plate, ready for consumption.
But it would still require quite a bit of work. This guy wasn’t going to go down just like that.
‘Sweeping Sword Will!’
Lin Fan focused his mental attention. Countless Sword Wills infused with the aura of the Earth spirit river fused into the ground. At the same time, Flying Heavens was hidden beneath the ground as well.
Lin Fan wondered what Flying Heaven’s impact would be like. After all, this was its virgin battle.
“I’LL KILL YOU!!!” The chiliarch howled malevolently. A fist possessing an immense amount of energy burst out at Lin Fan.
This fist brought with it his endless fury. Under the pressure of this fist, even the entire Heaven and Earth dimmed down a little. Lin Fan’s figure was partially rooted on the spot as well, as he found it really difficult to move.
At this moment, Lin Fan finally understood.
Initially, he had not been overly concerned with that ancient race tribunus with a desolate celestial cultivation state who had marked him.
However, he realized at this point that that was a mistake on his part.
Even though this ancient race chiliarch was only an azure celestial middle-level being, the amount of force that he produced was insanely extraordinary. If not for the fact that this chiliarch was overly careless early on, he might have been able to take Lin Fan for quite a few bouts!
But what a pity…it was all too late.
There was only a single thought within the mind of the ancient race chiliarch right now. He wanted to kill this human viciously and trample upon him. The only way he could ease this amount of hatred in his heart was by devouring the remains of this human.
“GO TO HELL…!!!”
Looking at this exuberant chiliarch, Lin Fan chuckled momentarily. Using his mind, those Sword Wills which were hidden beneath the ground burst up immediately.
SHING!
“YOU…!” The chiliarch was instantly pierced by all the Sword Wills like a hedgehog. “YOU DESPICABLE HUMAN! YOU’LL NEVER KILL ME!”
The ancient race chiliarch howled madly and shattered all the Sword Wills on his body with a burst of energy. The foul-smelling blood oozed out of his body. However, that only served to make him look ever more menacing.
This vile and sinister aura right now was sending shivers down the spine of everyone from the Star Sect.
“Hehe, look out now…” Lin Fan sniggered calmly.
“Huh…?” Looking at Lin Fan’s expression, the chiliarch had an ominous feeling.
‘Flying Heavens!’
VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Suddenly, a flash of bright light appeared. As though it could pierce through every single thing, this furiously rotating Flying Heavens shot up straight into the anus of the chiliarch.
The entire face of the ancient race chiliarch froze up as he howled out in horror, “WHAT IN THE WORLD IS…”
Before he could even finish speaking, a horrifying scene happened.
The ancient race chiliarch was sent flying up into the air!
BAM!
Suddenly, he exploded entirely into blood and meat, which splattered out all across the sky.
“EH…? Isn’t that way too extreme?” Lin Fan was stunned as well. He had not expected this to be the outcome! To think that this Flying Heavens, which could pierce through everything, would unleash such a formidable amount of power after entering one’s anus!
PSHEW!
Flying Heavens bolted back in front of Lin Fan and stuck itself back to the ground.
At this moment, Lin Fan realized a really big issue. He had truly given this a wrong name.
‘Lightning Anus Drill… A shot to the Heavens.’
…
Chapter 497: Ever Charming For Women
p>’Ding…Congratulations on killing Azure celestial middle-level chiliarch.’
‘Ding…Experience points +20,000.’
To think that the experience points given out from killing this ancient race chiliarch would be these many! That was pretty darn worth it!
‘Absorb.’
Even though the body of the ancient race chiliarch had already turned into dust particles and blood droplets, leaving those pure drops of essence blood floating all around the sky would be such a waste.
After his Demon City had absorbed everything, Lin Fan heaved out a sigh of relief. Even though this wasn’t an earthshattering battle, it made him understand one thing.
The power that could be exerted by a high leveled ancient race being wasn’t as weak as he had imagined it to be. He should never let his guard down carelessly from now on.
“Fellow brother, are you alright?” Lin Fan looked at the pale-faced Li Tianquan, quite puzzled. Where did this bunch of people turn up from? And looking at their clothing, they seemed to have come from the same place.
“We’re alright. Thank you for your righteous assistance, brother! Otherwise, all of us would have fallen into the hands of these foul creatures.” Li Tianquan thanked Lin Fan profusely. The shock of the reality that had just manifested was starting to get to him. If this man had not arrived, they would certainly have died right here.
At the same time, he was completely stunned by the methods of this man before him. To think that that formidable ancient race chiliarch would have died such a horrific death, without even a corpse remaining!
“It’s alright, you don’t have to thank me. It’s only natural for people like me to lend assistance wherever injustice is met. That is the only thing that can give us hope to continue resisting the ancient race. This place is no longer safe. Let’s hurry up and leave first.” Now that the ancient race chiliarch had been killed by Lin Fan, his ranking on the fugitive list must have moved up quite a bit once more. At the same time, the ancient race base must have already received the news as well.
Lin Fan did not dare to guarantee that he would be a match for any ancient race tribesmen that could hunt him down here.
“Alright…” Li Tianquan nodded his head. He knew that they shouldn’t linger here for too long either.
“Senior brother, we’ll help you up!” Both the female disciples headed forth to help up their senior brother. However, as one of the female disciples brushed by Lin Fan, she turned her head away and glared down shyly.
Lin Fan chuckled in his mind. Seemed like no matter where Yours Truly was headed to, he was still brimming with charm for the women.
…
Desolate mountain cave…
Lin Fan and the others searched for a safe and secretive place before hiding here temporarily.
The entire desolate grounds were vast and empty outside. If the ancient race were to conduct a manhunt, they would definitely be caught easily. They might as well hide for the time being. That would be the safer option.
“Brother Li, from the looks of your attire, are you guys from a sect?” Lin Fan truly did not know if sects existed in the Ancient Saint World.
Now that the Ancient Saint World was controlled by the ancient race, who could dare to brazenly open up a sect of their own flamboyantly? Who knew when the ancient race might just knock up their doorsteps and exterminate them the moment they opened up the sect.
“Brother Lin, we’re disciples of the Star Sect. These are my junior brothers and sisters here.” Li Tianquan replied. At the same time, he was still astonished that this man from the human race before him was someone who had just ascended.
This was absolutely incredible! To think that someone could be this strong to take down even an ancient race chiliarch after he had just ascended!
He thought back to himself. He had trained up for tens of years in the Star world before ascending up into these greener pastures of his dreams. However, he had not expected the Ancient Saint World of his dreams to be so drastically different.
In that period of time, Li Tianquan was utterly anguished and despaired. If not for the fact that he had met with his benefactor, he would have died a long time ago somewhere.
“Star Sect? Brother Li, do you mean to say that there’s some way to create a sect out in the broad daylights under the watchful eyes of the ancient race?” Lin Fan asked curiously.
“Hais…” Li Tianquan sighed helplessly. “That’s naturally impossible, Brother Lin. The Star Sect is hidden somewhere in the dark and can never see the light of day. Otherwise, we would definitely be oppressed by the ancient race as well.”
“Actually, there are many sects within the Ancient Saint World. However, most of us are hidden most of the time. Most of the founders of these sects were people who had once ascended as well. In the end, they decided to create a place so that their future generations could have a place to cultivate and train up.” Li Tianquan elaborated.
Lin Fan nodded his head in acknowledgment. He had truly not known anything about all this stuff.
Seems like these people who had turned stronger after ascending into the Ancient Saint World were the ones who created such places in order to take care of their newly ascended fellow race members. Opening up these places would then allow them to guide the others and help them survive in the Ancient Saint World.
At the same time, Lin Fan inquired about the weapons crafting issues in the Ancient Saint World, and discovered something shocking in the process.
He had not expected that none of the thousands of races out there could create a treasure such as the one that the ancient race chiliarch had wielded. The only things they could create were some basic weapons with basic properties.
It was as though there were two countries at war. However, one could only create cold weapons weapons while their rights to create firearms were entirely revoked.
But why was it that Lin Fan himself could craft those treasures?
Could it be due to the system?
Lin Fan did not understand at all. However, it did seem as though there was still nothing that the system couldn’t do. Seemed like this was a function that belonged completely to the system.
“S-sir Lin! Since you don’t have a sect of your own, how about you join our Star Sect?” One of the girls nearby couldn’t help but pop the question.
Lin Fan frowned slightly. This was a difficult position he was being placed in.
Eventually, he coughed gently and smiled, as though he had managed to find a way out.
“My gratitude for your offer. However, I’m long used to being alone. Furthermore, I’m a human. You guys are from the Star race. If I were to join your sect, it might bring about gossips and displeasure from the others.” Lin Fan rejected her.
He understood the circumstances they were in. The reason why the Star Sect had to be hidden was so that they could escape the eyes of the ancient race.
Furthermore, ‘If they aren’t of your race, you should watch out for them.’
Even if Lin Fan were to follow them back to the Star Sect with a thick skin, he might very well be rejected by them instead. Why would they let this random unknown join their sect?
“Brother Li, you were obviously betrayed for this expedition of yours. Do you have any idea who it was?” Lin Fan asked.
“I’ve already got a target, but I’m not exactly certain. Once I head back, I’ll definitely report this incident. After all, this is a threat we must definitely get rid of. Otherwise, it would definitely be a calamity for our sect in the future.”
Li Tianquan’s eyes flashed with a killing intent. It was as though he was burning with hatred towards this traitor in their midst.
“Brother Li, I think that we should be safe by now. It should be time to leave. Let us part ways from here.” Lin Fan stood up.
“Alright. If we meet again in the future, I’ll definitely thank you heavily once more. Brother Lin, I’ve got a map over here. There are some ad hoc refugee camps that are set up by the thousands of sects out there. If you ever encounter any difficulties, you can head over there.” Li Tianquan handed a map over to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan nodded his head and kept the map. The Ancient Saint World was such a huge place. He couldn’t possibly understand this entire world just like that.
Saving these people from the Star Sect was nothing more than an incidental occurrence.
Even if the Star Sect were willing to accept Lin Fan as a disciple, he wouldn’t go over given his character.
After all, he was the Grandmaster of the great Saint Devil Sect. He was the one who was going to open up Saint Devil Sect in this Ancient Saint World one day.
How could someone like him be the disciple of another sect?
“Farewell…” Lin Fan cusped his fists. Instantly, he disappeared from the spot where he stood. The mythical prowess of the Earth spirit river was shown fully at this very moment.
…
“Senior brother, this Sir Lin does not seem like a bad person! Wouldn’t it be great if we could have pulled him into our sect?” The female disciple asked.
Li Tianquan looked over at his junior sister and shook his head, “Junior sister, you must always remember never to let your guard down in front of others. Even if he’s your lifesaver, you never know if there are any plots hidden behind that lifesaving act. Furthermore, that person is extremely powerful. He’s definitely not someone our Star Sect can handle.”
“Oh…” The girl replied with a look of disappointment, evidently unable to forget Lin Fan’s face. After all, it was difficult to find someone with whom one could feel an affinity these days.
Li Tianquan looked at this group of junior brothers and sisters and couldn’t help but feel exasperated. They were still too naïve. After all, they hadn’t been through much in life yet…
Chapter 498: There Can Be Handsome Bad Guys Too!
p>Human weapons.
Spirit weapons.
Dao weapons.
Utmost treasures.
Lin Fan recalled the four tiers of weapons that Li Tianquan had told him about. This was interesting indeed.
In fact, all four tiers could be further divided into different grades:
Supreme grade.
Upper grade.
Middle grade.
Lower grade.
Human weapons were really normal. While they possessed all sorts of effects, they were easy to craft and could thus be considered as dead-weights.
As for spirit weapons, they should probably be something like Demon City and the likes. Demon City, in particular, had the big ancient demon who had ruled over ancient times as its core. As for Soul Devouring Beads, that could be considered a spirit weapon as well. However, it should be of a pretty low grade. Probably something of a lower grade or so.
Ever since the Demon City had absorbed the Earth spirit river, it could be considered a supreme grade spirit weapon. If Lin Fan were to gather all five elements into it, it should probably turn into a supreme grade Dao weapon. And if he could even gather up the spirits of Yin and Yang to infuse within it causing the bloodline of the big ancient demon to activate, Demon City could very well turn into an utmost treasure.
Even though there was no spirit core in the Nine Five Legendary Brick, its effects were definitely heaven-defying. It could, therefore, be considered as an utmost treasure. In fact, it might even surpass the tier of an utmost treasure if one were to consider it that way.
No matter who it was who was struck by the Nine Five Legendary Brick in the head, it would bypass all defenses and send the other party into an instant comatose state. A BUFF as such which totally neglected all cultivation states was something that even mere utmost treasures might not possess.
As for something like Flying Heavens, Lin Fan didn’t even know how to categorize it anymore. Each and every item produced by the system only got more extreme as the time passed.
Rather than striking straight in the face, Flying Heavens was a sneak attack weapon. How should he even compare this to anything else?
Seemed like anything crafted by Yours Truly could never be looked at with a normal train of thought. After all, all of these were fcked up to the extreme!
But honestly, it was really pitiable for the thousands of races out there. To think that none of them could create a true treasure of their own. If they wanted something good, they would have to snatch it over from the ancient race.
Upon snatching something over, they would still have to work with it to smelt and fuse with tons of other items before they could slowly craft it to a higher grade or tier.
Furthermore, even that did not guarantee them that they could obtain a treasure that was compatible with their own fighting styles and uses.
…
PSHEW!
Lin Fan was pushing his way ahead. By now, the desolate grounds no longer held any value for him. After all, the beasts here had way too low of a cultivation state for him to be bothered with their experience points.
His mind was actually lingering consistently on that ancient race base. If he could take down everything there, his experience points would probably rocket to a terrifying state.
‘Despair City, the Marquis of Despair… Even though that BOSS is a cute, little boy, anyone who is my enemy must be slain down! If I can kill him, my cultivation state could most definitely go up to the next level.’
However, Lin Fan was only an azure celestial lower level right now. He was far from having the strength to clash against the Marquis of Despair head on. The only thing he could do now was to slowly raise his power level to a certain state before he could finally take down the Marquis of Despair.
Recalling that aura he felt that day from the Marquis of Despair, that guy might very well be at the desolate celestial full cultivation state.
Just as Lin Fan was deep in his thoughts, a gigantic web with a ghastly glow suddenly appeared, blocking Lin Fan from his path forth.
‘The fck…?’ Lin Fan was startled. He was having a relaxed time flying about. Therefore, he was naturally taken aback by this thing that had just appeared.
‘Reel in…!’
As though it had a life of its own, this gigantic web that covered the sky suddenly retracted, covering Lin Fan’s entire body and wrapping him up.
BZZZ! BZZZ!
Electric snakes swam around the coils of the web. At the same time, an electric dragon was curling in the sky before coiling itself around Lin Fan.
‘The fck! How the hell does everything I think about just appear suddenly before my face all the time? I was just thinking about treasures and this thing pops up all of a sudden! Give a man some room to breathe man!’
“Who is there? Who’s the bstard who’s trying to sneak an attack on Yours Truly? If not for the fact that Yours Truly has a really powerful physical body state, Yours Truly would have been electrocuted into unconsciousness by this stupid electric thing!’ Lin Fan struggled. However, that electric dragon was extremely strong and thick. It coiled around Lin Fan tightly, not giving him any room to move at all.
“Stop struggling.” Just then, a voice rang out from above him. A set of white robes appeared as a suave looking man appeared floating in the sky above, looking down at Lin Fan who was struggling.
“Who are you?” Looking at this person before him, Lin Fan frowned. What a strong aura this was! When Lin Fan caught sight of the two horns on the head of this man, he was startled, “You’re from the Dragon race?”
Yours Truly has been wandering around for a couple of months now, but Lin Fan did not recall offending anyone from the Dragon race. Why the hell was this guy tying him up here for no reason at all?
And by the looks of it, it seemed as though he was bent on eating up Lin Fan! Evidently, he looked really strong. If they were to really clash, Lin Fan might not be his match at all.
When Lin Fan raised his head further and caught sight of the other party’s cultivation state, his heart skipped a beat. Holy mama! He had really met with a fcking ghost this time!
Desolate celestial upper level.
This cultivation state was definitely enough to torment him over and over cruelly for sure!
And just what in the world was this thing made up of? How the hell was it so sturdy? To think that Lin Fan could not even break out of it even with his physical body state!
Lin Fan was starting to get nervous right now. Following his motto, ‘Fck off from the strong’, he definitely could not continue to act tough right now.
“Oh, handsome and suave dragon race being! I’m from the human race! With that said, we could be considered as comrades! Why are you tying me up?” Lin Fan asked.
“You’re a pretty interesting human indeed. Do you not know me?” Long Xuan smiled gently. This smile was as bright as the blossoming spring. Any girls who caught sight of this smile could probably find it hard to resist themselves.
“Oh, I know you! Of course, I do! Aren’t you that man who’s the most handsomest of them all in the Dragon race? Lin Fan here has heard of your name for the longest time now!” How the hell would Lin Fan know who the hell this person who had abducted him was? But in order to let this guy’s guard down, he had to play along with it.
Who knew, this man might be someone who loved a good as licking. After Lin Fan was done licking his as with compliments, he would then send Flying Heavens to pierce through his anus, giving him a good comeuppance.
“HAHA! I, Long Xuan, am the sinner that everyone from the thousands of races out there could not bear to murder with their very own hands immediately! To think that a human such as yourself would be praising me instead! That’s rare, eh? Forget that. I wonder why Little Guang would want to see you. By the looks of it, not only do you look extremely ordinary, you look like someone really crafty with a glib tongue.” Long Xuan checked out Lin Fan from head to toe and could not tell anything extraordinary about him.
Lin Fan was about to cry right now. Was this guy praising or scolding him to begin with? Ever since Lin Fan had arrived in the Ancient Saint World, the only thing he had done was to take down some ancient beasts! He hadn’t pit himself against any heaven-defying characters just yet! Who in the world was this person who wanted to see him?
“Big bro! Just who in the world are you? Who is the one who wants to see me? I’ve just arrived in the Ancient Saint World not too long ago, and I haven’t offended anyone!” Lin Fan explained hurriedly.
These were the type of people that Lin Fan was the most afraid of. The more they were laughing, the more one couldn’t tell when their tempers would suddenly change. Who knew whether they might just decide to kill one at a whim.
“Just follow me, that’s all.” Long Xuan looked at this human before him. Sweeping his robes, that electric dragon followed behind him closely. It was as though he wasn’t going to give Lin Fan any chances.
“Hold on…!” Why the hell would Lin Fan want to leave with this guy! If he were brought to some dangerous place, wouldn’t he just die there for sure?
“What?” Long Xuan asked. However, he was bewildered when he caught sight of this human’s expression.
This man was trying to please him just moments earlier. Why the hell had he suddenly gone all solemn?
“I’ve led my entire life as an illustrious individual! Even if I were to die, I want to die as a hero. I know that I’ll definitely only have death facing me if I were to head along with you. However, I’ve got my dignity too! If I lose to you in terms of strength, I can only have myself to blame. Let me go and fight a proper duel with me! Even if I lose, I’ll lose convinced in my heart!” Lin Fan said firmly as an incredible bout of fighting spirit burst forth from him.
“Hmm…” Long Xuan looked at Lin Fan, slightly curious. He then tilted his head into the skies and roared out, “HAHA! Interesting. YOU’RE INTERESTING INDEED! In all my years of life, I’ve truly never met anyone as interesting as you. Very well, I shall grant you your wish. But don’t worry, I won’t take your life. I’ll just have you give up that hope of yours.”
Suddenly, that electric dragon that was coiling around Lin Fan loosened before turning into a stream of light and re-entering Long Xuan’s body.
Landing on the ground, Lin Fan looked ahead without a single bit of fear. He glared straight at Long Xuan, “You come on down as well! We’ll fight on the ground!”
“Hais, why does it have to be so troublesome? But sure, anything to make you give up on this fiasco.” Long Xuan shook his head and replied calmly.
Given his strength, there was no need for him to be wary of Lin Fan at all.
Against this desolate celestial powerful being before him, Lin Fan truly admitted defeat. However, he would still give it a shot. He wanted to see if he could take this guy down.
Even though this guy did not seem like a bad person, Lin Fan understood that looks could not define a person. Not all bad guys were born with a look that could call them out as bad people immediately.
And in this case, this was a really handsome person right here.
Chapter 499: A Flash Of Light, A Splatter Of Blood!
p>Lin Fan churned his Earth spirit river silently while stealthily melding Flying Heavens into the ground. The moment Flying Heavens entered the ground, it blended in with complete ease, like a fish which had just discovered water.
Actually, if Lin Fan were to fuse the Earth spirit river together with Flying Heavens, it would turn into an even more terrifying weapon. However, in a long-term perspective, the most important thing was to turn Demon City into a true utmost treasure.
After all, using the big ancient demon as a core, there was greater potential to be unleashed from the Demon City as a whole.
The thought of trying to escape had yet to cross Lin Fan’s mind for now. He wanted to try his luck first. If he were to get lucky and manage to get a clean strike in with Flying Heavens, he would definitely earn big time from taking down this desolate celestial upper-level being.
And if that didn’t work out, he could always think about running by then. But right now, something was puzzling him.
Just who in the world was this Long Xuan person?
He couldn’t recall offending a powerful being as such!
“I’ll let you strike first then.” Long Xuan looked over at Lin Fan with calm eyes. He wasn’t fearful of Lin Fan at all. To him, someone who couldn’t even grapple out of his electric dragon couldn’t have too high a cultivation state anyways.
“Alright, but could you hold on first? You tied me up a little too tightly just now. I’ve got to stretch these sore tendons and muscles for a little bit first.” Lin Fan shook his head and tossed his arms around, as though he was really stretching his body.
What should he do now? If Flying Heavens didn’t succeed, he wondered how fast his ‘Tunnelling’ could get him away.
This was the first time Lin Fan was faced with a desolate celestial opponent. Hence, he did not have a plan to refer to at all. The only thing he knew for certain was that if he were to fight head-on, the chances of him dying were definitely ten out of ten. After all, the difference in their power levels was too great, just like the Heaven and Earth.
As for Long Xuan, he kept his smile on the entire time. There was no sense of anger or negative emotions coming from him at all. In fact, even his eyes were calm like still waters. It was as though he was secluded from the affairs of this entire world.
Based on this observation, Lin Fan could sense that Long Xuan wasn’t somebody with an evil heart. However, someone who was abducting him for absolutely no reason must be his enemy. Towards this confusing situation he was in, Lin Fan still bore a heart of wariness.
No matter if they were kind or evil, anyone who wanted to harm him must definitely be a bad person.
Even if Flying Heavens were to deal him a fatal blow later on, he could only blame it on his own fate and not Yours Truly.
“You don’t have to try and delay time. What if I were to assure and guarantee you your safety? Would you be willing to make the trip with me then?” Seeing the weird actions of this human before him, Long Xuan was extremely bewildered.
Currently, Lin Fan was in the midst of completing the latest edition of the ‘Radio Calisthenics.’
The words of Long Xuan were like complete bullsht to Lin Fan. It was akin to a man and woman lying on the same bed together, when the former turned around to tell the woman, “Don’t worry, I won’t lay a single hand on you tonight.”
Any experienced internet lurker would definitely tell that only an idiot would trust those words.
“It’s getting late. Little Guang may be losing his patience soon. If you’re not going to strike, then I will.” Long Xuan looked up at the color of the skies and commented casually.
“Alright, alright. Hold on…” Lin Fan did not want to overthink things any longer. Now that he was here, he was like a rat pushed into a corner. Even if he didn’t want to fight back, he had to.
“OH MY GOD? LOOK OVER THERE! THERE’S A MONSTER…!” Suddenly, Lin Fan’s face turned into a look of utter astonishment as he looked over into the distance while keeping a sneaky gaze at Long Xuan. As long as this guy was distracted for even a moment, it would be anus piercing time!
“Hmm…?” Just as Lin Fan had expected, Long Xuan was completely taken in by Lin Fan’s award-winning act and turned his head into the distance!
‘Flying Heavens! Anus Destruction!’
Suddenly, Flying Heavens, which was hidden beneath the ground, started to rotate at an extremely high speed and burst out of the ground in a single flash of light. A devastating typhoon coiled around Flying Heavens as it shot out towards Long Xuan’s bum.
“Huh…?” In an inexplicably fast time, Long Xuan’s calm face changed momentarily. However, he reacted back almost immediately.
A white flash of light appeared around Long Xuan immediately like a protective bubble.
Lin Fan had evidently felt his Flying Heavens penetrating a little in! However, before it could make a full entry, it was blocked outside by this mysterious force, unable to inch any bit closer.
Damn it! He was so damn close to scoring this goal!
‘Invincible Biggra!’
Lin Fan slapped his storage without panicking or fearing, sending countless number of Biggras dancing in the skies.
“You wanna take me away with you? Dream on! Explode…!” Lin Fan hollered. Immediately, all the Biggras exploded into a white mist and covered Long Xuan in this thick, dense cloud.
However, just like Flying Heavens, the white mist was blocked out by the protective barrier and was unable to penetrate it at all.
“Long Xuan kiddo! Just you wait! One day, I’ll definitely return to destroy your anus!” Lin Fan did not have the intentions to continue fighting with Long Xuan.
If a desolate celestial being were to be taken down by him this easily, then this Ancient Saint World would definitely be way too easy!
In actual fact, Lin Fan knew that the Ancient Saint World had practically put the thousands of races out there through a hellish mode to get through.
‘Earth spirit river! Tunnel!’
Fusing with his Earth spirit river, Lin Fan tunneled into the ground and began escaping.
If he were to traverse through the void in the face of a desolate celestial being, that’d be as good as an amateur trying to pull off a stunt in front of a master. The only thing awaiting him would be death. His only chance at life was to tunnel through the grounds.
Pop!
Flying Heavens, which had penetrated Long Xuan’s anus slightly, was ejected automatically, as fresh blood sprayed out across the skies. Flying Heavens then entered the ground and followed tightly behind Lin Fan.
“Hmm…!” Long Xuan’s face had changed slightly by now. “Damn it! To think that he could be so low.”
“Human! I, Long Xuan, have tried to treat you nicely with politeness and grace while inviting you to make the trip with me. To think that you would pull off such stunts before me. Since that’s the case, then I shall break all of your limbs and take you back with me. We’ll see what else you can do when it comes to that!” Long Xuan was indeed slightly angered right now. It wasn’t because this human had pulled off some stunts before him. It was because that trick was so despicable! To think that this human would try piercing his butthole!
Furthermore, that feeling stung till now! Damn it, his soul nearly came out from it!
If not for the fact that this human was present, he even felt like moaning out right now!
Long Xuan’s face turned frosty once more as he glared at the ground, “Hmph, I’ve got to admit you’ve got some capabilities. However, you must be dreaming if you think that you can escape from me through tunneling through the ground!”
Long Xuan strode through the skies. Making a claw shape with his hands, he ripped out at the void before him. A massive surge of energy burst forth, causing the void to topple down and distort. Clawing at the ground, he tore up the entire stretch of ground hundreds of miles away immediately.
Lin Fan, who was tunneling through the ground rapidly, was petrified at the sight of the ground being ripped up right behind him and tossed up into the sky.
‘Holy sht! Just where in the world did this guy come from? How the hell is he so damn strong? To think that he can tear up the entire ground with a single claw! That would require some absurd amount of strength!!!’ Lin Fan was filled with disbelief. To think that the ground in a radius of 100 miles around him would be torn with a single grasp!
Up in the void, Long Xuan was like a giant who burst out with tremendous force, causing an entire crater to form in the ground.
“Found you…!”
‘Holy f*ck…!’ Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat. From the void, a flash of light suddenly shot at the ground right before him, splitting it entirely. The ground was instantly divided into two, with a trench so deep one couldn’t even make out its bottom!
“Get out…!” Long Xuan’s eyes shimmered. Slapping his palm onto the ground, a wave like energy pulsated out immediately, causing all the surrounding ground to topple in, closing in towards Lin Fan.
