The Strongest System - Chapter 500
Chapter 500: Let The Medicinal Effects Sink In For A Little Bit
p>”This fella is simply way too scary! No, I must definitely not get caught by him! Otherwise, I’ll really be dead meat!” Lin Fan grit his teeth together. Disregarding the dangers of that bottomless abyss before him, he fused together with the Earth spirit river and delved right into that world beyond.
“Wanna run? You’re not escaping today!” Long Xuan snorted furiously. His patience had been mowed down by Lin Fan.
The searing pain from his anus was causing him to feel a great humiliation. While it wasn’t to the point where he would want to kill Lin Fan just yet, he still wanted to teach this human a lesson nevertheless.
Long Xuan’s claws grasped out once more. However, it wasn’t grabbing at the ground this time around. It was aimed right in the direction where Lin Fan had leaped in.
As though they were grabbing out at the firmament themselves, those five fingers of Long Xuan stretched out right before Lin Fan, forming a light barrier with them as well. This blocked off Lin Fan’s path forward entirely. At the same time, a boundless force rippling with energy chased tightly behind him, forcing out Lin Fan.
“Aiyo! Fck me…!” Lin Fan was sent tumbling out by this massive force. Unable to steady himself, he was sent back for tens of miles.
“How could you bully someone of my cultivation state as a desolate celestial? You ought to be ashamed of yourself!” Lin Fan scolded out immediately towards Long Xuan’s shamelessness.
This act of bullying the weak was something Lin Fan enjoyed doing it personally. However, now that the tables had turned on him, how could he tolerate something like this?
But knowing that he couldn’t defeat this guy, what else could he do other than scold out?
“Lad, you’re way too sneaky a character. Against someone as despicable as you, what shame is there to speak of?” Long Xuan looked at Lin Fan and flicked his robes. With that, a thousand feet long electric dragon appeared, howling malevolently.
“This again.” Looking at this thousand feet long electric dragon, Lin Fan was speechless. Entering Stealth mode, he ran off into the distance immediately.
However, this thousand feet long dragon covered the entire sky with its body. Floating in the sky, it looked even more formidable. Coiling its body together, it formed a strong vortex, sucking Lin Fan straight back into the center.
“JUST WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS???” Lin Fan could not even resist as he was sucked back and coiled around by the dragon once more.
He tried to force out every single last bit of energy in his body. However, it was as though someone had tossed a gigantic rock into the ocean. It couldn’t cause any waves to appear at all.
‘Blood Sea, shrink!’
Now that Blood Sea was at Level 9, Lin Fan could change the size of his bones and body. However, every single inch Lin Fan shrunk by only caused the electric dragon to coil itself around him tighter. There was completely no room for resistance!
“Lad, give it up. This is the Binding Dragon Whip. It’s a middle-grade Dao weapon and can take on many forms. No matter how much you struggle, there’s no way you can get out of this. Just save your strength.” Long Xuan laughed gently. He was gleeful on looking at how this tricky little human had been brought to subjugation by him.
“Let me go! How can Yours Truly fall into the hands of someone as random and absurd as you? Hurry up and let me go! The only people who are trying to catch me in the Ancient Saint World is the ancient race! Are you someone from the Dragon race who has sided with them as well?” Lin Fan’s body was glimmering with a bright crystal jade glow right now as he exerted every bit of strength he could with Eternal Immortality. However, none of that changed anything.
Upon hearing these words of Lin Fan, Long Xuan’s face changed slightly. However, he regained his composure almost immediately, “That’s right. I’m someone from the Dragon race who had sided with the ancient race.”
“YOU BSTARD! COWARD! TRAITOR! IF YOU’VE GOT THE GUTS, LET YOURS TRULY GO ONCE MORE! I’LL MAKE SURE I FIGHT YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF THIS WORLD!” Lin Fan cried out in rage.
In reality, Lin Fan was feeling slightly nervous upon receiving Long Xuan’s answer. If he were to be sent over to the ancient race, the only outcome awaiting him was death for sure.
“It’s alright, you can continue scolding. I’m long used to it. However, you can relax. I, Long Xuan, assure you that you will definitely receive no harm to your life.” Long Xuan replied.
“Hmph! No harm to my life? Does that mean you want Yours Truly to be a traitor just like you and be a dog of the ancient race? Let me tell you, Yours Truly isn’t afraid of death!” Lin Fan seethed out.
“Look at your dog like appearance! Seems like you’re a true dog in your heart as well! Yours Truly looks down on you! I despise you! In fact, I don’t even want to take a look at your contemptuous face!”
Suddenly, Long Xuan’s chest heaved up and down as his face flushed slightly red.
“HAHA! What’s wrong? Feeling ashamed, aren’t you? That’s right! Yours Truly is telling you the truth. If you’re truly feeling ashamed, you had better let Yours Truly go right now! At least Yours Truly can give you that bit more respect!” Looking at how Long Xuan’s condition seemed a little off, Lin Fan could not help but praise himself in his heart. Seemed like his Kung Fu of scolding others had improved by quite a bit right now. To think that he could cause the Blood Qi of a desolate celestial to rumble with just mere insults! What a genius he was!
“How could this be?” Long Xuan’s face changed. He could feel an unspeakable energy surging through his body. In fact, it was causing his blood to rumble profusely!
Long Xuan’s body was gathered with a large amount of Saint Spirit Energy. Forming a dragon with it, he wanted to forcefully swallow down this unspeakable energy and break it down from within.
However, the moment this Saint Spirit dragon came into contact with that unspeakable energy, it began to be torn apart, turning back into strands of Saint Spirit Energy!
“Lad! What have you done to me?” Long Xuan’s eyes burst wide open and were filled with fury.
Looking at the gaze of Long Xuan, Lin Fan was startled as well. He realized that Long Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot right now, as though he was about to eat him up entirely.
“What! You’ve already tied Yours Truly up here! THE ONLY THING I COULD HAVE DONE WAS YOUR MUM!” Lin Fan hollered back.
Suddenly, Lin Fan realized that something was amiss with this situation. By the looks of it, Long Xuan seemed to be bearing the symptoms of Biggra!
That was right! This guy was struck by Flying Heavens! And when he was crafting Flying Heavens, Lin Fan had added in Biggra as a material as well!
Even though Flying Heavens might not have penetrated fully in, the effects of Biggra must have entered him through that slight entrance!
“HAHAHA…! This retribution for you turning into a dog of the ancient race!” Lin Fan burst out laughing. He had not expected Flying Heavens to be so powerful! This was indeed a worthy of a weapon crafted by Yours Truly!
“YOU…!” Long Xuan glared at Lin Fan. However, now was not the time to be punishing the human. After all, that aura had started erupting out within his body. He could just lose control of himself at any moment now!
‘DRAGON WORLD’S BREATH!’
Long Xuan suddenly howled out as his entire body glowed brilliantly. Those initially slender white fingers of his started changing, as scales lined his entire body. His hands turned into the claws of a dragon as well!
The void began to ripple as a vortex suddenly appeared. The vortex seemed to be connecting to some place as a surge of Dragon Qi burst out from within.
As though this Dragon Qi had a mind of its own, it turned into a series of snow-white dragons that swam into Long Xuan’s body.
‘Fck! This fella’s trying to suppress the effects of Biggra!’ Lin Fan was startled by this scene. He had truly never seen anyone successfully suppressing Biggra till now.
But evidently, Biggra could no longer cut it much longer. It was truly impossible to have a powerful being such as Long Xuan lose his mind entirely due to it.
Lin Fan spotted a series of red mists being steamed out from Long Xuan’s head. These were the medicinal effects of Biggra!
No! He could definitely not waste any more time here. Otherwise, by the time this fella was done discharging all the Biggra from his body, Lin Fan would truly be in for it.
However, this Binding Dragon Whip was simply way too powerful! He couldn’t break out of it no matter what.
‘Faceless Sky Demon!’
‘Eternal Axe!’
Now that Lin Fan couldn’t budge a single inch, he could only rely on the Faceless Sky Demon to cleave down this thing with his Eternal Axe.
Even though the Eternal Axe was a damaged legendary weapon, also known as an utmost treasure here, it still possessed devastating powers. It should be enough to sever this Binding Dragon Whip.
However, something stunning happened immediately.
The moment the Faceless Sky Demon appeared, the Binding Dragon Whip flashed brightly.
Instantly, the Faceless Sky Demon was coiled in together with Lin Fan.
“FCK MY LIFE…!”
Chapter 501: Self-Destruct, My Brother!
p>Lin Fan had not expected this middle-grade Dao weapon of Long Xuan to be this powerful. There was practically no chance given at all! However, now that Long Xuan was focusing totally on expelling the effects of Biggra from his body, there was literally no better chance than now for Lin Fan to escape!
Biggra was definitely a mythical pill. So what if the other party was a desolate celestial upper-level being? He still had to use up all his attention just so he could deal with Biggra.
As long as he could make it out of this place safely, Lin Fan was certain that he would have to improve on the effects of Biggra, such that even a little bit of it was enough to cause anyone to break down entirely.
Long Xuan stood there in a half man half dragon figure. His long hair was floating on the back of his body like a horse’s mane dancing in the breeze. His mouth was wide open, absorbing all the essence of the Dragon world, converting it into white dragons as they were infused within his body.
This fella was just borrowing external strength to expel the medicinal effects of Biggra! All of these methods were causing Lin Fan to be amazed.
“Lad, you’re pretty decent to be able to force me to this state. I’ll admit that I’ve been careless.” Even while Long Xuan was in this devouring state, he was keeping a close eye on Lin Fan. Not only was this lad tricky, he was sneaky and crafty. No one knew what sort of methods he would deploy next.
“Hmph…!” Lin Fan snorted coldly as he took back his Eternal Axe, “You’re a traitor, Long Xuan! Don’t act high and noble before me! Yours Truly isn’t afraid of death!”
‘Nirvana Finger!’
‘Deflowering Finger!’
Even though Lin Fan’s body was rooted right now, he had long since mastered these two skills to an impeccable level. He could conduct attacks from any part of his body.
A crisp exploding sound boomed out as a boundless amount of energy struck out at the Binding Dragon Whip. However, just as Lin Fan was retaliating, the electric dragon sent out an electric shock that cruised itself through Lin Fan’s entire body. This devastating aura suppressed Lin Fan’s consciousness.
“Give it up. This Binding Dragon Whip isn’t something that you can break out of. Even the mighty Heavenly Dragon of the Dragon World would have to bow down like a worm against the might of this powerful Binding Dragon Whip.” The redness of Long Xuan’s eyes was gradually dissipating. It was evident that he had already expelled a large amount of Biggra from his body.
“You…!” Lin Fan was all ready to cuss at his mother right now. How dare this despicable bstard use such means to lock down Yours Truly?
If only Yours Truly were that bit stronger, he would definitely be able to rip this Binding Dragon Whip to shreds!
The more Lin Fan struggled, the tighter the Binding Dragon Whip coiled around him. It was like the incantation of the golden hoop, tightening against Lin Fan mercilessly.
‘Heaven and Earth Consciousness!’
Long Xuan hollered out suddenly, creating a thousand feet long golden dragon that glowed with a golden shine. Devouring the Saint Spirit Energy of the Heaven and Earth, the golden dragon coiled itself around that half man half dragon figure of Long Xuan.
Long Xuan was using up all his powers to expel out that unspeakable and strange energy. At the same time, he was astonished by it. Just what sort of an object was it that could create such a devastating impact?
He was a desolate celestial upper-level being! He was only two states away from being a divine celestial, a state where he’d be practically invincible, and could do everything, including taking down the skies and moon themselves.
To think that this mysterious force would require him to expend all his powers just to resist it. That was incredible!
“Good. Very good!” Suddenly, Long Xuan burst out laughing. His words made no sense at all.
‘Holy sht. By the looks of it, this guy is almost completely done with expelling the effects of Biggra! If I’m not done by then, things would be really tragic.’
Why the hell was Yours Truly always bumping into sick freaks like these?
If only Biggra’s effects were that BIT stronger, Yours Truly wouldn’t be in this terrible state right now!
‘Forget it…’ Lin Fan had a plan in mind. With the way things were turning out, seemed like he could only rely on that move now.
“HAHA…!” Suddenly, Lin Fan howled out into the skies and laughed.
“Lad, what are you laughing at?” Looking at Lin Fan who was apprehended in his grasp, Long Xuan was bewildered. At the same time, his curiosity towards Lin Fan was only deepening by the second.
“What am I laughing at? Naturally, I’m laughing at YOU, duh? A traitor like you who would sell his life to the ancient race is nothing but a humiliation to the thousands of races out here. And you would dare to ask me what I’m laughing at?” Lin Fan glared at Long Xuan straight in the eye. No matter what, this was going to be his last-ditch effort. He had to leave down a legend at the very least.
Long Xuan was neither angered nor happy. He did not put Lin Fan’s words to his heart at all. After all, he knew that these were truths to Lin Fan. But at the end of the day, who could truly understand the circumstances of Long Xuan?
“Death isn’t something that is scary. The scariest thing is to lead a life that is worse than death itself. To think that a desolate celestial such as yourself would bow down under the might of the ancient race and live life as a coward. You’re truly disgusting.”
“You wanna take Yours Truly back? How could Yours Truly accede to that request? LET YOURS TRULY SHOW YOU THE TRUE MIGHT OF THE HUMAN RACE TODAY!” Lin Fan hollered out as a massive amount of energy burst out from his body. This energy was wild and unrestrained, as though it could take down the entire Heavens.
“What are you doing?” Looking at the massive amount of energy being emanated out from the human, Long Xuan’s heart jerked for a moment, as he could not help but start to panic.
“Hmph! Even if Yours Truly is going to die, I’m going to take your Binding Dragon Whip along with me to the graves! EXPLODE!” With a mad holler, Lin Fan’s body began rupturing. One by one, ripples of energy began to gush out of his entire body. This was every single last bit of hidden power within Lin Fan’s body.
“S-stop…!” Long Xuan’s face changed immediately. To think that this human would self-destruct!
“HAHA! ARE YOU FEELING SAD FOR YOUR BINDING DRAGON WHIP RIGHT NOW? IT’S TOO LATE!” Lin Fan looked over at Long Xuan as his hair flew around wildly in the skies.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
A dazzling brilliance exploded out as that electric dragon that was coiling around Lin Fan howled out as well. However, in an instant, it was overwhelmed by that massive surge of energy.
Blood sprayed out all over the skies as the entire Heavens and Earth fell silent. Within the void, there was nothing left of Lin Fan or the Binding Dragon Whip.
“W-why did it turn out like this…?” Long Xuan was stumped. The Blood Qi within his body rumbled once more as he clutched at his chest, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Unable to believe the sight before him, Long Xuan’s mental focus was shaken as well. With that, the Saint Spirit Energy within his body began to clash with the effects of Biggra, causing that rumbling of his blood once more.
“Why would he choose to blow himself up…? I-I had already promised him his safety…!” After Lin Fan’s self-detonation, Long Xuan was extremely shaken at this moment.
“ARGHHHHH…!!!” A long howl rang out through the skies as Long Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot. Shifting his body, he turned into a gigantic dragon and broke through the void. With a single swipe, he caused the void to rip apart as he vented out every single bit of frustration in his heart.
“TO THINK THAT I WOULD FORCE HIM TO HIS DEATH!!!”
Long Xuan had only wanted to take Lin Fan back with him. To think that this human’s reaction would be this extreme!
The skies lost all their color as Long Xuan continued to howl out emotionally before leaving eventually.
…
At that moment, a drop of blood on the ground seemed to have gained a life of its own. It waited silently before seeping into the ground and tunneled into the distance.
A few thousand miles away from that place…
‘Rebirth through Blood!’
With its own life, this drop of blood vibrated immensely before it started expanding, forming a blood figure.
Nirvana’s Rebirth.
This blood figure was none other than Lin Fan, who was reborn through his blood.
…
Chapter 502: Cultivate Every Single Skill
To think that the only way for me to escape was to self-destruct!’ Lin Fan, who had just revived, was feeling especially emotional in his heart right now. This was the first time he had self-detonated. If Rebirth through Blood had not worked at that instance, he would have been shammed to the depths of hell!
That was the gamble that Lin Fan had to take.
But by the looks of it, Rebirth through Blood was working perfectly fine. He couldn’t find any parts of him missing. The only thing that was causing him a big headache was the fact that his energy had been thoroughly exhausted.
Seemed like the amount of energy required for a single rebirth was pretty immense.
If an ancient beast that was even slightly strong were to appear right now, he might very well lose his life to it. Therefore, in consideration for his safety, Lin Fan decided to seek shelter and hide for now first.
Without giving it too much thought, Lin Fan tunneled straight into the ground. He then channeled his Mythical Parasol Tree and began to replenish his strength.
In the Ancient Saint World, the Mythical Parasol Tree was like a fish which had just discovered water. It was completely at home here, sprouting ever more lushly and producing an even greater amount of lifeforce.
Lin Fan knew that even though he looked strong on the surface, he was actually pretty weak right now. If he met a truly strong opponent, he could probably have enough strength to protect himself from dying. However, there was practically no way he could take down his opponents.
But that fact alone caused Lin Fan to feel somewhat displeased. After all, he was a man with a system! How could he be tied down by something such as mere cultivation states! If he couldn’t just kill things that were beyond his levels, what was he living his life for?
‘This system is being too weak these days, isn’t it? Back when Yours Truly had stolen my own peaches, this system gave me an actual title. Why the hell am I not given any sort of acknowledgment for doing something as wild as blowing myself up?’
Lin Fan felt that the system was really being too stingy this time around. To think that he wouldn’t get a single reward out of it at all!
That feeling of self-detonation wasn’t something that any mere person could endure. It hurt as hell man! In fact, he could feel his entire body ripping apart in that entire instant. However, the good thing was that the pain went as quickly as it came.
‘Ding…Owner’s courageous self-destruction is worth commending indeed.’
‘Ding…Rewarded with Essential Legendary Gear for skipping levels: Desolate celestial cultivation state mythical usage.’
“Eh…?” Lin Fan was equal parts stunned and surprised. He was completely caught unaware by the system’s notifications.
“It’s here? It’s really here?” Lin Fan was just lamenting about the system moments earlier. To think that the system would decide to reward him just like that! This was goddamn telepathic!
The system must have been feeling bad about Lin Fan’s complaints and decided to award him with something.
Of course, that possibility wasn’t entirely impossible. But this was great. Since the reward was free, why not take it? However, the name of the reward was leaving Lin Fan extremely puzzled, not knowing what this thing meant at all.
‘Desolate celestial cultivation state mythical usage: Desolate celestial state is just practically a foundation state for one to get to that ultimate state of being a divine celestial. One could begin sowing seeds in preparation for becoming a divine celestial.’
Lin Fan knew that the moment one attained a desolate celestial state, one could convert every single thing they had learned in their lifetime into seeds of their own. These so-called seeds allowed the skills to improve independently on their own, and boost the levels of their cultivation as well.
Taking Stealth, for example, once Lin Fan reached the desolate celestial level, he could cultivate Stealth into a True Skill Stealth seed.
After he was done cultivating with it, the power of that skill would rise by a significant amount. But of course, the prerequisite for doing that was the skill must first be raised to a certain level.
For someone like Lin Fan who could start sowing such seeds as an azure celestial right now was totally unheard of. There was never a precedent to such a thing in the entire Ancient Saint World!
‘Not bad, not bad…!’ Lin Fan let out a gleeful smile. Seemed like he did gain quite a bit out of this eventually!
Suddenly, Lin Fan’s mind felt clearer than ever. It was as though countless wisdom plates were revolving around his mind, opening up a sea of knowledge to boost all parts of his mental state.
This sudden feeling caused Lin Fan to freeze up for a slight moment. All sorts of things he couldn’t think through in the past were suddenly clear as day right now.
Even if he were a mere mortal, he would definitely be able to master any skill with just a single glance of his eyes. His cultivation state would also grow at lightspeed!
‘I’ve struck gold…! I’ve mother*cking struck gold this time around!’ Lin Fan was so excited he did not know what he could do next. He wanted to climb out of the ground and dance in celebration.
But soon enough, he knocked back some sense into himself. If he did that, he would undoubtedly just be courting death.
If he were down on his luck and bumped into a powerful being or an ancient beast, he would die so bad he wouldn’t even know how he died.
Lin Fan lied on the ground silently. He had wanted to start cultivating some seeds. However, he found out that the True Energy required to cultivate those seeds was way too much for his empty vessel to handle right now. Even if he managed to cultivate them, it would be an issue for him to even employ those skills after that.
Twisting Heaven and Earth.
True Origins Crushing Kick.
Even though all of these looked like simple moves on their own, Lin Fan was the only one who understood the immense amount of energy required to use those moves.
For example, even though Twisting Heaven and Earth, or as one could loosely term it, Monkey Steals Peaches, was just a simple grab, the amount of energy required for that grab was astonishing. If not for the fact that Lin Fan had the system, he could never have raised it to this state with just his mere abilities.
One day passed…
Lin Fan opened his eyes as a huge amount of energy burst out forth. The power in his body had recovered.
Based on Lin Fan’s current power level, that amount of energy could hardly ever be exhausted. It was like a gigantic river that would never dry up. However, given the fact that his self-destructing act had managed to expend every last drop of that, one could imagine the massive amount of energy required for one to undergo Rebirth through Blood.
Seemed like Lin Fan had to watch out for this point from here on forth as well. It might not be possible for him to rely on this skill just to kill an opponent.
However, regarding life preservation, this skill was definitely godly.
Right now, Lin Fan did not have the intentions to head out at all. All he wanted to do was to cultivate those seeds. Furthermore, being hidden underground seemed to be an extremely safe option right now. Who knew what type of sticky situations he might end up with once he got out.
“Hmm, let’s see. For the first seed, I should probably cultivate Eternal Immortality.” Lin Fan knew that his current strength was far from topping the entire world. He might as well work on his defenses first.
‘Cultivate!’
Lin Fan churned his Eternal Immortality. This skill had already been raised to such an exceptional level by him. It was bound to be ready for cultivation.
Instantly, Lin Fan felt a burst of energy gushing out in all directions within his body. This energy that was being emanated gathered and turned into a vortex within his body.
‘I-It’s difficult indeed!’ Lin Fan finally realized how much energy cultivating a single seed required.
Just with this initial step of forming a seed, he had already used up 10% of his entire strength! Seemed like nothing in this world was truly as simple as he might have thought.
But to Lin Fan, no matter how difficult it would be, he still had to make it a success. After all, turning strong was the only way to ensure that he would never be suppressed by anyone in his path forward.
‘Cultivate!’
…
Chapter 503: Poison World’s Poison King
uddenly, a cyclone formed within Lin Fan’s body. This cyclone was extremely violent, as it reeled in every single last bit of energy from Eternal Immortality, fusing it all together.
‘Suppress!’
‘Suppress frantically!’
Feeling the massive amount of energy within his body, Lin Fan’s heart could not help but skip a beat. This amount of energy was way too volatile! If it were to explode within his body, that would definitely be a calamity!
These so-called True Skills were the true powers of the Heaven and Earth. As long as one could cultivate out True Skill seeds, they could use them as tribute to comprehend the Dao of the skills themselves. But, that could only be done after they had attained a divine celestial state.
However, this was a long road ahead for Lin Fan. The pressing issue at hand was to hurry up and cultivate these True Skill seeds first.
BOOM!
Just as the energy from Eternal Immortality was being cultivated to a certain state, it suddenly erupted, as though the entire world was being split apart! A massive, titanic figure suddenly appeared within Lin Fan’s body.
Immortality. Indestructibility.
This giant repeatedly howled as he emanated a supremely peerless aura and shrunk rapidly at the same time. The more he shrunk, the more concentrated the essence got. Eventually, a single golden seed laid floating peacefully within Lin Fan’s body.
This was the True Skill seed of Eternal Immortality. Containing everything about the skill within this seed, it all would only get stronger and tougher from here on forth.
‘Ding…Eternal Immortality leveled up. Level 17.’
‘Ding…Physical Body State: Azure celestial lower level state.’
Upon hearing the notifications of the system, Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. To think that it would be so easy!
Day and night exchanged places as the process continued for two entire days and nights.
The True Energy within his body was once again completely depleted. Seemed like it wasn’t going to be a fast process cultivating the entire True Skill seed.
Lin Fan could sense the horrifying powers that were hidden within that golden colored seed. It was way more fearsome than before.
With a single thought, the indestructible aura of Eternal Immortality flowed through Lin Fan’s entire body. The sensation was so pleasurable that he almost moaned out from it.
Lin Fan was popping in pills currently to replenish the lost energy within his body. Since this was a really safe place to be in, he might as well make use of the opportunity to convert all of his skills into True Skill seeds.
The most important task for Lin Fan right now was to raise his power level. It was the worst type of situation he could be in where he couldn’t kill anything beyond his cultivation state. Back in the Xuanhuang World, the difference between a full cultivation was pretty big due to the Heaven’s Will. However, Lin Fan could still kill monsters and things beyond his level.
However, the Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World was extremely overbearing. Every single leap in cultivation state was like a difference between Heaven and Earth. There was no way to bridge that gap at all.
But Lin Fan possessed a system. As long as his system would back him up, none of these would be an issue to him.
He couldn’t help but acknowledge that this was still an improvement for him to perform a task meant only for desolate celestials as an azure celestial right now.
‘Cultivate!’
Twisting Heaven and Earth was a skill that defied the heavens itself. At the same time, this was Lin Fan’s favorite skill. After all, switching Yin and Yang was a flip of his hand with this. Even though the switch might be pretty disastrous to the harmonic balance of the world, Lin Fan firmly believed that this skill would definitely produce a mythical usage if he would persevere and train it up to the end.
BRRRR!
Lin Fan’s body shivered uncontrollably as the True Skill seed of Twisting Heaven and Earth began to gather continuously. Black and White Qi were revolving around him, representing the powers of Yin and Yang.
This black and white dual colored seed floated silently beside the seed of Eternal Immortality.
Days passed by swiftly.
Beneath the ground, Lin Fan was working tirelessly to turn all of his skills into True Skill seeds. He swore that he wouldn’t stop until he was done.
Blood Sea was turned into a blood red seed as well. The amount of Blood Qi that was rumbling inside was boundless like the vast skies. If it were released, it could probably flood and take down all the living beings around him.
In reality, Blood Sea was supposed to be a dark and sinister skill. However, Lin Fan had never tried using it to suppress any enemies so far. That was because Blood Sea had a far more heaven-defying effect when it was used for the physical body state.
Especially now that he had reached level 9, Rebirth through Blood, the usage was beyond godly. Now that he turned it into a True Skill seed, Lin Fan was certain that the powers of Blood Sea had definitely risen to yet another level.
True Origins Crushing Kick!
Black Tiger Steals Heart!
Roc’s Breath!
Nirvana Finger!
Firmament!
Etcetera…
At the start, all of these skills were far from mainstream techniques. However, under the fruitful cultivation of Lin Fan, all of them had turned into skills that could devastate even the Heaven itself.
In fact, most of their peculiarities could only be employed by Lin Fan himself. Even if anyone wished to emulate them, they could definitely not do so.
One day…
Lin Fan opened his eyes and emerged from the underground. The moment his eyes opened, it was as though yet another true god had descended upon this world.
Lin Fan’s aura was really haywire and messed up right now as he retracted it all back into his body, returning to the state of a normal being.
At this point, Lin Fan finally understood why he could never take down a desolate celestial powerful being. That was because they had all their powers concentrated within these True Skill seeds.
Even though he was only an azure celestial lower level right now, Lin Fan had the confidence of taking down any azure celestial upper level being with ease.
Perhaps, he could even reign over any cultivation state below desolate celestial right now.
“Hehe…!”
Suddenly, a sinister snigger rang out from the skies above. Lin Fan, who was doused with excitement, frowned. To think that he would be noticed by someone the moment he came out!
Raising his head, he caught sight of an extremely hideous looking man floating gently in the sky.
There was a greenish mist that was clouding the man’s entire body from head to toe. This mist was extremely putrid, as though it possessed every single vilest thing in the world.
Just a single look was enough to have Lin Fan’s face cringe up. This man was simply way too ugly!
However, this man was far from weak. He was an azure celestial upper-level being. The aura that was being emanated from him was especially nefarious, and reeked of ill intent. Evidently, sometimes the difference between a good and bad person COULD indeed be told from just their facial features alone.
Not only was this man devastatingly ugly, his sinister tone had Lin Fan certain that he was definitely not a good person.
“Who are you?” Lin Fan asked warily, not knowing the background of this person.
“Hehe. Seems like my luck is pretty decent today. I’ll capture you in order to create my Infinite Poison Puppet.” The poison king glared at Lin Fan as his lips curled into a smirk. Without a second word, he darted out at Lin Fan immediately with a claw grab.
The putrid mist was overflowing within that single claw-like grab, with many poisonous bugs howling out wickedly within.
If Lin Fan had been more accustomed to the Ancient Saint World, he would know that this man was someone who had ascended from the Poison world.
Within the Poison world, there were all sorts of evildoers. All of those ascended beings were fugitives and serial killers. They would massacre any of the thousands of races they met with. The same went for the ancient race beings they met with.
As long as anything could increase their personal strength, they would definitely do it. Just like now, the Poison king was flying around in the sky when he caught sight of Lin Fan. Thinking that he still lacked a single Infinite Poison Puppet, he struck at Lin Fan without any hesitation.
‘Holy f*ck! To think that this guy would strike out over a few mere words! Does he take Yours Truly for a pushover? Alright, since he wants to die, then I’ll let him have a taste of the power of Yours Truly’s True Skill seeds!’ Lin Fan thought with a mild anger.
To think that this guy would strike for no reason at all.
No one should take Yours Truly as a pushover!
Chapter 504: Check Out Yours Truly’s Poison!
You’ve got some capabilities eh?” The poison king had not expected this fella to be able to dodge his claw-like grab. That intrigued him. However, he chuckled out almost immediately afterward, emanating a powerful aura with it. Following that, a dense putrid mist spread widely behind him.
This mist covered the entire sky. It was so vile that even the Heavens seemed to be corroded by it, turning black against it.
“Lad! I, the poison king’s Triple Supreme Poison Mist can devour the entire Heaven and Earth. I can be considered a desolate celestial powerful being in that sense. As long as you touch a single bit of it, your entire body shall corrode and die! Let’s see what you can do about that!” The poison king burst out laughing. This Triple Supreme Poison Mist was made up of the Heaven Poison, Earth Poison, and Human Poison. Combining these three strongest poisons of the world, it was a terrifying existence.
“Hmm…” Lin Fan frowned. Now that he had cultivated the True Skill seeds, his speed was extremely fast. With a slight movement, he retreated away from the affected area.
Before he was sure of the effects of this Triple Supreme Poison Mist, Lin Fan did not want to rush in blindly.
He was pretty startled by the fact that even the void was turning black from the corrosive effects of this mist. To think that it could be this strong!
‘Nirvana Finger!’
The True Skill seed within Lin Fan’s body began to churn continuously. With a single finger point, the void shattered. That rapidly approaching Triple Supreme Poison Mist was dispersed away due to the Nirvana Finger.
However, to Lin Fan’s surprise, the poison mist gathered itself back together once more after it was gusted away!
“HAHA! Give it up, lad! Even though your skills are pretty decent, they are useless. Perhaps you may think that my Triple Supreme Poison Mist may not be able to reach you now. That’s right. However, the poison mist is infecting the sky at the same time. Even if you don’t touch it personally, you will still receive the effects sooner or later!” Spreading out his palms, the poison king slapped out into the sky. Every single slap seemed to possess a boundless amount of power, as it churned and moved the poison mist.
And indeed, just like the poison king had said, each place where the poison mist passed by would have a dark green trail, which would be absorbed by the void.
Gradually, the entire sky began to turn dark green on its own. Many nerve-like fibers started to appear in the sky and filled the void densely, as though they were about to consume and devour the entire Heavens.
“You poisonous little sh*t! Yours Truly didn’t do anything to you, so why the hell are you bothering me? Do you think I’m a pushover?” Lin Fan was furious towards this guy who had struck out at him without provocation.
Overbearing. How could he be even more overbearing than Yours Truly? At least, before Yours Truly struck out, he would always let the other party know what they had done wrong!
But the fact that this guy would just strike out at Yours Truly without a single word, wasn’t he just looking down on Yours Truly?
“Survival of the fittest. Only the strong shall survive. I don’t need a reason to kill you. You should just resign to fate and be my Infinite Poison Puppet obediently. Who knows? Maybe, if I were to become an utmost being of this world one day, I might return you your freedom.” A sinister glint shone past the eyes of the poison king.
Swinging his arms, he sent out yet another flurry of palm strikes. With that, the Triple Supreme Poison Mist jerked for a little before turning even more ferocious.
“How dare you act so brazenly? Yours Truly shall let you understand that being impertinent is a crime!” Lin Fan hollered out. Sucking in his tummy, his True Skill seed began to rotate, as an illusory figure of a Roc appeared behind him suddenly.
‘Roc’s Breath!’
Lin Fan opened his mouth as though he was devouring the entire Heaven and Earth. The illusory figure behind him did the same, as a powerful suction force was exerted out.
The Roc was one of the largest living creatures in the entire world, and could encompass everything. Legends had it that the utmost cultivated Roc could suck up the entire Pacific Ocean dry with a single opening of its mouth.
Within the void, that wildly rampaging Triple Supreme Poison Mist was swooping in towards Lin Fan without any restraint at all.
“HAHA! Courting death! This poison mist of mine isn’t something you can swallow just like that!” The poison king reared his head into the skies and burst out into laughter at the sight of how this man had dared to try swallowing his Triple Supreme Poison Mist.
This wasn’t the first time he had met with such death seeking behavior. However, he was long used to these overly confident people.
Roc’s Breath was a skill of the Roc Sect. Ever since Lin Fan had obtained it, he had been working hard on cultivating it. Part of the reason why the Mythical Parasol Tree could take in the Saint Spirit Qi of this world so quickly was also due to the Roc’s Breath skill.
“I’LL SUCK…!”
Lin Fan’s tummy was like a bottomless pit right now, taking in the Triple Supreme Poison Mist continuously. Even a single speck of the poison mist that was covering the skies could render an utmost celestial being dead instantly. In fact, even a desolate celestial being might even lose their lives if they weren’t steady enough against this poison mist.
“HAHA! Courting death indeed! Since you want to seek out death, let me fulfill your wishes!” The poison king could not stop laughing at how Lin Fan was sucking in the poison mist endlessly. Flicking his robes, he slapped out with both palms, causing a massive amount of poison mist to be shot out of his palms.
“Alright then! I’ll turn you into my Infinite Poison Puppet, so that you can be a vessel for all my poison mists for the rest of eternity!” The poison king had planned for this in advance. This was because he had the utmost confidence in his poison capabilities being unparalleled, and that no one in this world would be able to break them.
‘Infinite Poison Refinement Technique!’
The poison king hollered out. Suddenly, countless poisonous bugs swarmed out of that hideous body of his. Each of these bugs looked vile and nefarious, containing a horrifying amount of poison in them. Closing his palms together into a seal, he sent out seals after seals towards Lin Fan, each of them emitting Poisonous Qi of their own.
And of course, all of these were sucked in by Lin Fan into his tummy as well.
As time passed by the minutes and seconds, the poison king’s face started changing.
“How can this be…?” He stopped his hand seals with a face of utter disbelief. Just what in the world was going on with this guy? How could nothing be happening to him after he had taken in such a large amount of Triple Supreme Poison Mist?
At the same time, he had even added in the Infinite Poison Refinement Technique! This guy’s body should be changing right now with all the poisonous bugs that must be swarming within his body at! He should have turned into a poison puppet!
“Just who in the world are you?” The poison king’s face turned stern as he yelled out.
“HAHA! You’re asking ME who I am? Back when Yours Truly asked you the same question, you ignored me entirely. And now you want me to reply you? Dream on! By the way, your poison mist seems pretty decent!” Lin Fan burst out laughing.
Upon entering his body, the Triple Supreme Poison Mist was taken in by the Heaven and Earth Smelt and was smelted instantly. Within the Heaven and Earth Smelt, the Triple Supreme Poison Mist began to shrink continuously until it became a dark green seed.
‘Ding…Congratulations on smelting.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining True Skill Triple Supreme Poison Mist seed.’
Lin Fan had not expected it to smelt into a seed!
“Well, since you’re so good at utilizing poison, how about you have a taste of YOURS TRULY’S poison?” Lin Fan looked at the poison king before he spat out a poison dragon.
Looking at this, the poison king’s face changed immediately, “H-how could this…? How do you possess my Triple Supreme Poison Mist?”
Looking at this poison dragon he spat out, Lin Fan was overwhelmed with joy. However, he noticed that the shine of the seed within him had dimmed a little. This skill evidently took up a lot of energy.
Lin Fan did not know how to create the Triple Supreme Poison Mist by himself. Therefore, the poison dragon that he spat out was also the mist that was created by the poison king himself. Each time he used it, the total capacity would decrease by a little bit. Once Lin Fan used up all of the Triple Supreme Poison Mist, the seed would shatter immediately.
As though he had just seen a ghost, the face of the poison king turned extremely frightful.
“Oh, that’s not enough for you? Let Yours Truly give you one more then!” Lin Fan opened his mouth and spat out yet another poison dragon.
With that, the True Skill seed within his body disintegrated.
“YOU…!” Seeing this, the poison king screamed at the top of his lungs.
Chapter 505: Has Yours Truly Grown Handsomer Recently?
he poison king could not believe the scene right before him! Not only had this man devoured his entire Triple Supreme Poison Mist whole, he was spitting it out right back at him! This was an utter humiliation for the poison king!
He had always considered himself as the king of employing poison. Not only was this man trying to use poison in front of him, this person was using the poison king’s VERY OWN poison! The shame of it all!
Looking at the two poison dragons coiling around the poison king, Lin Fan’s heart was overwhelmed with joy.
“Small fry, how dare you act so impertinently before me? These two poison dragons shall be my welcome gift to you!” Lin Fan laughed brightly. He was practically just gloating at the plight of the poison king right now.
However, he could not help but acknowledge the strength of the Triple Supreme Poison Mist. To think that it could even rumble and toss around a couple of times back when it was in the Heaven and Earth Smelt. Even though it was smelted eventually, one could not deny the capabilities of this poison mist.
The poison king was slapping out furiously right now. Every single slap brought with it the power like crackling lightning, as the void tore apart continuously.
“Good lad. Seems like I’ve underestimated you today! It’s time for me to let you experience the most horrifying poison I have in my arsenal then!” The poison king yelled out. At the same time, his ugly face only got even more hideous.
‘Poison World!’
The poison king hollered into the sky. Those long locks of his which were filled with poison danced in the air, as his robes began to rise gradually as well.
An immense amount of energy surged through the Heaven and Earth, and burst forth from the poison king.
Within the void, all sorts of poisonous beings and bugs were striding densely. Some of them spouted out fiery flames, while others spouted out poisonous fumes. Some of them were even devouring the void the moment they opened their mouths!
Those two poison dragons were consumed by these poisonous bugs in an instant.
“Lad! This is the Poison World that Your Majesty here has created after tireless hard work! TODAY, I SHALL LET YOU KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF HORROR!” The poison king howled out. Raising both his palms, the poisonous bugs within the Poison World rumbled around furiously.
“Hmph, how dare you get so brazen as a mere azure celestial upper-level being? Yours Truly was only toying with you earlier on! Since that’s the case, Yours Truly shall let you experience the meaning of true pain in this world!” Lin Fan laughed icily as the True Skill seed within his body began to rumble.
‘Twisting Heaven and Earth!’
The moment Lin Fan opened his mouth, the True Skill seed within his body began churning as a tremendous amount of energy burst out from within.
The void trembled slightly as Lin Fan stretched out his hand. Instantly, countless number of hands appeared from the Heaven and Earth, and reached out towards the poison king.
“Hmph, lad! Do you think that you can take me down with that sort of strength? Are you dreaming? With just my poison guard, I can definitely take on your move!” Looking at these swarming hands, the poison king wasn’t afraid in the least bit. Immediately afterward, a burst of dark green light shot out from above his body. As though this light was indestructible, it caged the poison king within.
Even though this skill might look like it was really formidable on the outside, the poison king couldn’t sense much of an aura from it. Therefore, he couldn’t care less about it. ‘Let it grab wherever it wants then! What can it possibly do?’
BAM!
As those swarming hands landed on the poison king’s poison guard, they gave off a series of crisp sounds. At the same time, they sizzled after being corroded off by the poison guard.
“Lad, don’t waste your strength! You’re not my match with just those capabilities! Stay there and turn into food for my Poison World obediently!” The poison king howled out. His body jerked for a moment as his eyes focused. With that, he struck out with a palm strike towards Lin Fan.
However, just then, a sharp and clear squishing sound could be heard.
The poison king’s face changed immediately. He could not believe that his poison guard would have been destroyed at this moment!
“AHHHHHH…!!!”
An extreme tragic wail was ejected out of the mouth of the poison king. This wail was extremely sorrowful, as though he had just gone through the worst torture in this entire world.
“I-impossible…!” The poison king glared at Lin Fan in absolute disbelief. What did this guy do to break his poison guard?! And even if his poison guard was broken, why was he enduring such a cruel pain?
Looking at the sight of the poison king, Lin Fan chuckled.
Ever since Twisting Heaven and Earth had been cultivated into a True Skill seed, it’s power levels were far from before. In the past, Lin Fan might have required his physical body if he wanted to strike at someone, grab after grab. However, now that it was cultivated into a True Skill seed, he could penetrate through the void and strike out from the netherworld.
In actual fact, Lin Fan was toying around with the poison king by adding in all sorts of normal attacks when he deployed Twisting Heaven and Earth.
Otherwise, how could this Twisting Heaven and Earth with a BUFF of breaking through all defenses be blocked out by a mere poison guard as such?
“Poison king, this is the true gap in our skills. This is the consequences of just striking out at me for no reason at all.” Lin Fan stepped forth and pointed out with his finger.
The True Skill seed within Lin Fan’s body began to turn and channel once more as the void before him began to break down layer by layer like mirror panes.
The poison king wanted to fight back at Lin Fan with all his strength. However, to his horror, the pain that was on his crotch was so numbing that he was almost going frenzied mentally!
He tried channeling his True Energy to suppress the pain. However, no matter how hard he tried, the pain which was bent on destroying everything just shot itself right up into his head.
“JUST WHAT SORT OF A SKILL IS THIS? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?” The poison king howled out in indignance.
However, it was all too late right now. He did not know that Lin Fan had already cultivated True Skill seeds. Every move that he deployed was a skill that the gods would bow down to. Even if he were an azure celestial upper level, there was definitely nothing he could do about this.
If the poison king had tried to run away at the beginning, he might have stood a chance. However, nothing would work at all right now.
“N-NO! YOU CAN’T KILL ME! I’M SOMEONE FROM THE POISON WORLD! AS LONG AS YOU DON’T KILL ME, I’LL LET YOU IN ON A BIG SECRET! IN FACT, I CAN EVEN BE YOUR SLAVE! PLEASE!” The poison king begged. Nothing was more important to him than his life right now.
Back in the Poison world, he had once suffered deep humiliation. Climbing up to the peak one step at a time, he finally gained the strength to ascend into the Ancient Saint World. Upon reaching here, he was actually struggling really hard and cultivated for a long time before he got to where he was right now. How could he bear losing all of it just like this?
“Hmph, you’re dead meat for sure. Yours Truly has never needed any slaves nor do I need to know any secrets of yours.” Lin Fan did not have the mood to chatter on with someone like the poison king.
He was only an azure celestial lower level being right now while the poison king was at an azure celestial upper level. If he killed this guy, he could definitely get a huge chunk of experience points. Now THAT would definitely make him happy.
“Go to hell…!”
‘Firmament!’
With the swing of his axe, the entire Heaven and Earth froze up, as though the world was about to be split into two. The energy currents of the void flowed out with massive force.
“NOOOOO…!” Looking at the sight before him, the poison king wailed at the top of his lungs. However, in the blink of an eye, there was just silence after the flash of the axe.
‘Ding…Congratulations on killing Azure celestial upper-level poison king.’
‘Ding…Experience points +30,000.’
‘Ding…Congratulations! Poison Sutra has popped out!’
‘Ding…Congratulations! Ancient Saint World Secret Records has popped out!’
Lin Fan had initially wanted to leave right after killing the poison king. To think that two things would drop off him! This was pretty surprising for Lin Fan!
Lin Fan knew that he could obtain experience points AND items from killing monsters and beasts. But most of the time, he got nothing out of it. So, he hardly paid any attention.
To think that he could obtain two items from taking down the poison king! Incredible!
Could it be that the appearance of items depended on one’s looks?
Could it be that Yours Truly had turned handsomer recently?
Could it be that Yours Truly’s impeccable character and moral standards had risen even more these days?
That must be it.
Chapter 506: Turning Biggra Into A Skill
Just what in the world is this Poison Sutra and Ancient Saint World Secret Records? But, since this poison king is such a weak sh*t, this Poison Sutra shouldn’t be anything spectacular either.” Lin Fan looked at the two booklets which emitted a ghastly glow, and did not bear too much of a hope towards them.
‘Ding…Do you want to learn Poison Sutra?’
‘Learn.’
Suddenly, all sorts of information surged into Lin Fan’s mind. All that information transformed into poisonous bugs that he had never ever known about. Some of them were as small as dust particles, while there were some as gigantic as mountains!
All sorts of poisons, poisonous creatures, poisonous pills and skills… Every single thing surged into Lin Fan’s mind.
He was bewildered. This Poison Sutra was an unparalleled Encyclopaedia of Poison! It possessed information about all sorts of poisons in this world!
But what Lin Fan did not know was that the fact that the poison king could have climbed to the peak of the Poison world as a bullied weakling was all thanks to this Poison Sutra.
There was a mental skill that was hidden within this Poison Sutra, one which could allow one to concoct any sort of poisonous creatures and items into skills.
At first, Lin Fan could not be bothered with this Poison Sutra at all. After all, that poison king fella had turned himself so hideously ugly all because he was cultivating such a sick skill.
However, the moment Lin Fan’s mind crossed Biggra, he suddenly realized that the mental skill COULD be of some use!
As for all the other poisonous toxins that were annotated within the Poison Sutra, Lin Fan decided that he wouldn’t cultivate them at all. After all, if one wanted to cultivate the Poison Sutra, they would have to be bitten by all sorts of poisonous bugs in order to suck in their poison within one’s very own body. They could only then start to cultivate and temper these poisons using their mental arts.
No matter what, over time, this process would definitely accumulate a large amount of poisonous substances within one’s body.
That ugly and hideous face of the poison king must have been a side effect of taking in way too much poison from these bugs.
“This is a really dark skill right here. However, the accompanying mental skill does seem pretty decent. Looks pretty promising.” Lin Fan started to analyze the mental skill carefully.
If Lin Fan were to turn his Biggras into a skill and could send out an entire burst of Biggras with just the slap of his palm, who in the world could be his opponent by then?
The very thought of it was pretty horrifying on its own!
However, based on the description of the skills, it seemed as though he would have to pop in quite a number of Biggras himself first. Wouldn’t he be dead if the effects of Biggra got so overwhelming that he couldn’t even cultivate properly?
This was a really serious question that he had to ponder over carefully.
Lin Fan then picked up the Ancient Saint World Secret Records and took a good look at it. This was a pretty good item that contained all sorts of details about the Ancient Saint World, opening up a brand-new perspective for Lin Fan.
All sorts of information about sects, secret grounds, ancient race, ancient beasts, and the thousands of races were included within this.
Reading ten rows with a single glance, Lin Fan memorized everything within his mind.
Upon memorizing everything, Lin Fan realized that things were definitely not as simple as he had thought them to be in the Ancient Saint World.
“Huff…” Lin Fan heaved out a deep breath as he finally understood in his heart.
He had thoroughly been a complete noob in the Ancient Saint World, knowing practically nothing at all. After reading the entire Ancient Saint World Secret Records, Lin Fan had evolved from a noob into a veteran of the Ancient Saint World.
Finally, he could start to understand the various things he would end up encountering in the future from now on.
…
Lin Fan started channeling his Earth spirit river into the ground. With a single wave of his hand, a razor-sharp current rippled out from within, bringing out a vortex of mud into the sky. This left a gigantic hole in the ground.
The mental skill that was found within the Poison Sutra was something Lin Fan felt that he really wanted to give a shot at no matter what. Something that could turn Biggra into an entire skill? He definitely had to try making it work.
With the sweep of his hand, a large amount of Biggras accumulated within the pit.
Lin Fan took in a deep breath. He could not help but start to get nervous.
Once he exploded all of these Biggras, he would then absorb them into his body and begin to temper with them. Lin Fan had already thought of how things would be if this did not work out. That would be an extremely terrifying sight.
One Biggra was more than enough to cause one to lose the very concept of sanity. If he were to absorb this amount of Biggras within him and ended up failing, he would really be doomed.
He might very well end up piercing through the entire Ancient Saint World altogether.
Therefore, Lin Fan was taking a huge risk, betting on the success of this tempering and refining process.
However, fortune favored the bold. Who knew what would happen if he didn’t even give it a shot.
Furthermore, everything that was introduced within the Poison Sutra had supposedly worked thus far. That should have been enough of comfort for Lin Fan’s mind. However, the main point was still that Biggra was simply way too strong.
“Hais, f*ck it! If this Poison Sutra is lying, then this world would truly have no love within it any longer!’ Lin Fan told himself.
Explode!
The countless Biggras burst into a thick mist, covering the entire pit.
‘Absorb!’
Lin Fan opened his mouth and took in all the mist into his body. Instantly, his eyes turned redder than ever.
In that instance, Lin Fan did not even dare to hesitate and started churning the skill annotated within the Poison Sutra immediately. Immediately, that violent, thick mist of Biggra was covered up by a mysterious force and began to shrink within his body.
Nevertheless, the nature of Biggra was still extremely violent and volatile. While it was being suppressed by that mysterious force, it was still struggling, as though it truly wanted to break free. However, how could Lin Fan allow that? If he did, true tragedy would definitely ensue!
Lin Fan started pushing with every single thing he had, together with the mysterious force of the Poison Sutra’s mental skill, repressing the effects of Biggra so badly that it could barely move at all.
The days and nights exchanged place for quite a few times…
‘Ding…Congratulations on cultivation success.’
Suddenly, Lin Fan opened his eyes. His eyes were shimmering as he looked at that seed that floated gently within his body.
Lin Fan knew that he had successfully cultivated Biggra into a True Skill seed.
From this day forth, Biggra had evolved. It was going to walk on the path of prestige from this day forth.
“HAHAHAHAHA…!” Suddenly, Lin Fan burst out laughing maniacally. This was a feeling that was even greater than finding any treasure in the world!
Waving his hand, a white mist shot out. As though it had a consciousness of their own, it shrouded Lin Fan’s body. He then opened his mouth and swallowed the entire mist back in.
‘Biggra has finally been turned into a skill by Yours Truly! From now on, a single wave of my hands shall cover the entire world in Biggra! Who else in the world could be a match for Yours Truly from now forth?’ Lin Fan was extremely excited right now. At the same time, his thoughts strayed back towards his glorious times back then.
So what if someone’s cultivation state was higher than his? Could they look down on Biggra just because of that?
However, as for the other godly pill of his right now, he decided to forsake the idea of cultivating that. Whoever chose to cultivate that must be a dumbf*ck.
From here on, Yours Truly was headed to be the greatest character in this entire world! How could he be tainted with such unsightly stuff?
BOOM!
Lin Fan burst out from underground with utmost confidence. He then looked over into the distance. From now on, all the ancient race beings in the Ancient Saint World would have to bow down under the might of Yours Truly!
“Eh? What the hell is going on up ahead? Why are there so many rich and powerful auras gathered up ahead?” Before Lin Fan’s excitement had not even withered when he was distracted by something in the distance.
There was a group of people gathered,, their auras bursting through the sky infectiously.
‘Where the hell did these guys come from? Aren’t they afraid of being noticed by the ancient race at all?’ Lin Fan was bewildered.
However, in light of safety, he had better stay hidden first before slowly inching forward.
Chapter 507: Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm
Huh…? How can this be…?’ Lin Fan could not believe his very eyes. Within that group of people ahead were even some ancient race tribesmen!
In fact, these ancient race tribesmen were conversing with the beings of the other races as though they were really familiar with one another!
‘Just what in the world is going on right here?’ Lin Fan was taken aback. Even within the poison king’s Ancient Saint World Secret Records, nothing like this was mentioned!
At the edge of the Heaven and Earth stood a gigantic door. There were some mysterious runic symbols inscribed on that door, as they gleamed with a vicissitude and an ancient glow.
As to what was lying behind that gigantic door, no one knew. Furthermore, why were these ancient race tribesmen communicating with those other race beings so harmoniously?
Lin Fan was completely bewildered right now. He could not understand just what was going on.
Seeing something like this, he felt that he would feel really miserable within his heart if he didn’t clarify with them what was going on right now.
To think that Yours Truly had fought like crazy with those ancient race tribesmen, yet these people here were all friendly and chummy with them?
Lin Fan kept his aura within him. Fusing with the Earth spirit river, he tunneled into the ground and headed forth. Under the hidden state of the Earth spirit river, these people could definitely not sniff him out no matter how high their cultivation states were.
Just like that, Lin Fan remained hidden as he eavesdropped on their conversation. At the same time, he finally understood what the situation was all about.
Amongst the thousands of races out there who had ascended into the Ancient Saint World, some of them did not have any concerns towards all the races out there. All they wanted to do was attain their utmost divine cultivation state. In fact, even if all the thousands of races out there were annihilated, their beliefs wouldn’t waver in the slightest bit.
As such, the ancient race had an agreement with these beings of the thousands of races out there. The ancient race would permit them entry into these secret grounds in search of greater opportunities. However, these people had to offer members of the thousands of races out there as tribute in return.
“Mu Tian, this is the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm. There are tons of opportunities awaiting you within.” An ancient race tribesman with a massive aura stood sturdily before the mysterious door.
Mu Tian was donning grey robes, and carried with him a strong stench of a death aura. It was as though there were tons of vengeful spirits howling and struggling within that death aura. “Good. Very good! Don’t worry! I’ve already adhered to your request. Please take a look.”
Opening his mouth, a graveyard flew out from within his mouth. This graveyard was eerily creepy, with many tombstones planted within it. With a flick of his robes, all of these tombstones vibrated massively as figures rose from them one by one.
All of these figures were beings of the thousands of races out there.
“Nothing more, nothing less. I’ve got exactly a hundred here.” Mu Tian replied.
Lin Fan took a look at these beings from the thousands of races. There were people from many different races. In fact, all of their cultivation states were above earth celestial.
Lin Fan did not know what the outcome of all these beings would be, neither did he know why they were being captured here. However, his heart jerked at the next moment as his eyes opened wide in disbelief.
Looking at these beings of the thousands of races out there, the ancient race tribesmen howled before leaping in for the massacre. Some of them were devoured whole, while others were ripped into two.
Blood danced around the skies as though it was raining. Hidden beneath the ground, Lin Fan was absolutely dumbfounded right now, as the stench of blood seeped down into the Earth. His nose was choking with the dense stench of blood right now.
‘H-how could this be…?’ Lin Fan was truly horrified by the scene before him. To think that there would be so many people being massacred by the ancient race tribesmen without even knowing why they died!
Following this came the blessings of the Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World, as light rained on these ancient race tribesmen. Revealing a look of relish, all of their power levels increased together with the blessings.
“Not bad. All of these people were pretty high up on the fugitive list.” The ancient race tribesmen nodded their heads in satisfaction.
They then looked over at the others, “What about you guys?”
The masses behind Mu Tian released the beings of the thousands of races out there they had captured as well. And the outcome awaiting these people were they very same as their predecessors, being slaughtered cruelly without a single room of resistance.
“Even though you guys haven’t sided with us from the ancient race, you’re far more useful than those trashes who have. Don’t worry, this will be a fair competition this time around. May the opportunities we encounter receive the blessings of our own fates.” The ancient race tribesmen had enjoyed the massacre earlier on. Especially the fact that they had received the blessings of the Heaven’s Will, which allowed them to boost their cultivation states.
“But rules are still rules nevertheless. Once we enter, life and death are all fair game. Let’s just hope that you guys don’t get killed off by me.” Mu Tian replied grimly.
The ancient race had control over every single secret ground that was currently known in the Ancient Saint World. Anyone who wanted to enter would have to obtain approval from the ancient race. However, once they were inside, everything was fair game.
“HAHA…!” On hearing these words, the ancient race tribesmen burst out laughing as well and did not take it to heart.
…
Lin Fan was burning with fury within his heart right now. To think that he would encounter something so b*stardly cruel! All of those beings of the thousands of races out there were killed mercilessly by these ancient race tribesmen without any room for resistance!
Even though Lin Fan could not claim that he was as saintly as Mother Teresa, he still couldn’t endure the fact that these beings of the thousands of races out there were being sold out by their very own comrades!
BOOM!
“The Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm has been initiated!”
Suddenly, a beam of light burst out from that mysterious door. That gigantic stone door slammed wide open as Mu Tian and the other ancient race tribesmen entered it one by one. Without hesitation, Lin Fan tunneled in beneath the ground as well.
Be it for the sake of leveling or anything, Lin Fan only had a single goal in his mind right now, ‘Kill every last one of these goddamned sh*tbags.’
The more things he encountered, the more Lin Fan understood the words of the Heavenly Emperor Yuan and the others back in the Xuanhuang World.
The Ancient Saint World was indeed a damned Hell. This was a dog eat dog world, a place every single bit as horrifying as what Hell would be like.
Upon crossing the door, Lin Fan’s mental state shook for a moment before he recovered from it.
A massive whirlwind of a killing aura coiled over.
Looking around at his surroundings, Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat. This place was dark and grim, filled with corpses all over the place.
‘Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm.’
Lin Fan finally understood. Based on the poison king’s Ancient Saint World Secret Records, this Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm was a secret ground. Legends had it that this was the battlefield where the ancient race engaged in a massive onslaught against the thousands of races out there. At the end of it, some powerful beings exchanged blows and broke through the void, opening a brand new dimension. As such, this place became a secret ground.
Since tons of powerful beings had perished here, all of their treasures and belongings were lost here within the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm as well.
‘Get stronger!’
This was the only thought in Lin Fan’s mind right now. He had to use the shortest amount of time to become the strongest person there could be!
If one imagined the Ancient Saint World as a spherical world, then this world would be divided into eight even portions. These were the eight districts that were controlled by eight utmost beings of the ancient race. As for these utmost beings, they were gathered at the center of this world, controlling the entire Ancient Saint World from the core.
High and above, no one could topple them down at all.
One could only wonder what sort of methods Heavenly Emperor Yuan and the others had used to lure out the Ancient One.
However, Lin Fan was still hopeful towards the future. He would wait till he got much, much stronger one day. By then, the Ancient One should have regained his strength in the Xuanhuang World as well. He would then try to find a way to bring the Ancient One back into this world, after which, Lin Fan would then head straight to duke it out with those eight utmost beings.
This was a plan Lin Fan had already thought up thoroughly.
Chapter 508: What Is That Palm Strike?!
Where are those ants? To think that they could have disappeared in the blink of an eye.” A group of ancient race tribesmen were floating in the skies at this instant. They tried sensing around the surroundings. However, they couldn’t find any traces at all.
“Doesn’t matter. In this Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm, only we, the ancient race, shall head out alive. Look at those pathetic worms. To think that they would betray their fellow thousands of races just to seek entry into the secret grounds. But no matter what, the only outcome awaiting them would be getting killed by us ancient race! HAHA…!” The powerful ancient race tribesman laughed loudly.
“All of these guys think that they’re smart by hiding their cultivation states. And, they really think we wouldn’t do the same as well? They truly think that they can exit this place after coming in? But, little do they know that they’re nothing but fishes in our net. We’ll let them seek out the opportunities first before killing them and stealing over the opportunities for ourselves. What an easy gain that would be!” They continued.
The Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm wasn’t some really exquisite secret ground. Most of the opportunities here had been uncovered by the ancient race. At least, that was what could be seen on the surface and deep within. As for whether there were any more hidden opportunities, no one else could be certain about that.
These ancient race tribesmen were ordered to keep a watch over this secret ground. In order to make the most out of this, they struck a deal with beings of the thousands of races out there. If they wanted to enter this place, all they had to do was bring 100 captives from the thousands of races out there.
Each time the ancient race tribesmen killed these beings of the thousands of races, they would receive the blessings of the Heaven’s Will. This was as good as rearing pigs to kill for the ancient race tribesmen.
And of course, the pigs were none other than these people from the thousands of races out there.
Once these beings of the thousands of races out there obtained entry within the secret ground, these ancient race tribesmen would follow behind closely. They wouldn’t head out to look for these so-called opportunities with them. Instead, they would just wait patiently.
By the time these beings of the thousands of races out there found any opportunities, they would then be massacred and have those opportunities stolen. Even if they didn’t get to find any opportunities, killing them would give these ancient race tribesmen some blessings from the Heaven’s Will.
A trade like this which gave them nothing but benefits was the best in their eyes.
In the eyes of the ancient race tribesmen, members of the thousands of races out there were nothing but ants. To think that these fools would dream of finding a single glow of hope in this place which they knew the ancient race would have wiped clean. How stupid could they get?
…
Lin Fan trod forth shiftily. The things that these guys did were simply way too infuriating. Even though there were no humans amongst those beings of the thousands of races, wasn’t this still such a beastly act to commit?
No matter what, the just and righteous Lin Fan could definitely not let something like this happen.
In order to seek vengeance for those of the thousands of races out there who had perished, he was determined to give these guys his own trial and sentence them himself.
Within this Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm laid a thick, dense killing intent. In fact, there seemed to be some sort of consciousness that lied alive within this deep killing intent. Lin Fan could make out scenes of battle between the thousands of races and the ancient race from this shroud of thick killing intent.
Lin Fan knew that the battle intent that was emitted by powerful beings during battle could dissipate over time. However, these battle intents wouldn’t disappear entirely. They would turn into a form of special existence on their own.
‘Roc’s Breath!’
Lin Fan took in a deep breath and sucked in a ball of killing intent within his tummy. Suddenly, thunder boomed out within his mind as though there were a thousand galloping horses and armies.
After that, a notification rang out from the system as the killing intent was entirely suppressed down.
‘Ding…Experience points +10.’
Lin Fan had not expected that this small amount of killing intent he had taken in could amount to 10 experience points! That was pretty surprising.
Evidently, this killing intent must be something good to be able to convert into experience points. There should be some special properties attached to it as well.
However, Lin Fan did not place this on his mind momentarily. His goal first now was to first sniff out those of the thousands of races out there who had betrayed their fellow comrades.
VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Suddenly, the void before him began to vibrate as the entire Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm’s void seemed to be tearing apart. At the same time, an accompanying aura appeared. This aura was heavy and vicissitudinous, bringing with it a really familiar feeling.
Lin Fan leaped forth a few steps before keeping in his aura and hiding in a corner.
‘Heavenly Star Eruption!’
In the distance ahead, a figure in long robes floated in the skies. Pushing his hands out like a slap, a gigantic glowing ball of energy burst forth against a ferocious creature that was born from the killing intent of this place.
This ferocious creature was gigantic and huge. Its body was made up of parts from the fallen beings of the thousands of races and the ancient race.
That creature was turned into dust by this energy ball instantly. Within the dust laid a single piece of crystal with a ghastly glow.
“Seems like lady luck’s shining on me for me to encounter an ancient realm beast.” The man stretched out his hand and retrieved the crystal with a smirk.
“Even though this crystal may only possess one percent of its original strength, it’s some sort of reward nevertheless.” Wan Xiexing laughed out wildly.
Lin Fan looked over at that man. He had a pretty decent cultivation: Azure celestial full cultivation.
If this were in the past, Lin Fan might have felt that exchanging blows with him might get a little tricky. However, ever since he had cultivated those True Skill seeds, his battle power had increased by quite a fair bit. As such, killing someone like him was as easy as a hand flip.
“Who’s there?” Wan Xiexing’s face was startled as he kept the crystal and turned his gaze behind him.
Lin Fan revealed himself as he cast a look of disdain at this guy.
“Who are you? I don’t recall seeing someone like you amongst those of us who entered the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm.” Wan Xiexing looked at Lin Fan warily.
“I’ve seen people from the Star world before. While their cultivation states may not be as high as yours, their courage was definitely way beyond yours. To think that you would offer 100 beings of the other races up for death. What a shameless person you are!” Lin Fan said.
“Hmph…!” Wan Xiexing snorted coldly. To think that this person was here to teach him a life lesson! But, words were meaningless at this point. With the flip of his hand, the energy of the stars descended and burst forth towards Lin Fan.
“Lad, mind your own business!”
‘Saint Star Punch!’
This punch of Wan Xiexing possessed the power of the stars. It was as if he had taken the stars down from the galaxies, turning them into a fist before pummelling it over at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan leaped into the void and activated his True Skill seed. Instantly, a flurry of figures were left in the void.
‘Biggra Palm!’
Lin Fan wanted to let this guy know the true meaning of horror. He had intended to take this guy down with a single strike. However, on second thoughts, he might as well recycle this trash.
With a single palm strike, a Biggra dragon burst out howling.
“What’s that palm skill?” Looking at how his fist was pierced through that easily, Wan Xiexing was astonished.
“Hmph… Palm skill? This is a palm skill that lets you blossom in spring!” Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered explaining much to this guy.
‘EXPLODE!’
BAM!
The Biggra dragoon coiled itself around Wan Xiexing before erupting into a thick, dense mist.
“What in the world…?” Wan Xiexing had never seen a palm strike of this type before. To think that this mist would be produced by that palm strike! Furthermore, the shocking thing was that this mist seemed pretty adhesive! No matter how much he slapped it away, it seemed to be gravitating towards him and entering his body through all his pores!
His nose, his skin, et cetera…
“AHH…!” Suddenly, Wan Xiexing found himself losing control of his mental state as he howled out.
After the mist dissipated, Lin Fan was nowhere to be found.
The only person left there was Wan Xiexing, with bloodshot eyes and a massive surge within his heart that he couldn’t shake off.
“I…I…!!!” Wan Xiexing’s breathing was hurried right now. There was only a single thought on his mind.
He wanted to find a hole. ANY HOLE! ANYTHING CIRCULAR AND WITH DEPTH!
Looking at Wan Xiexing turning into a streak of light and bursting forth into the distance, Lin Fan smirked frostily, ‘Small fry, Yours Truly shall play with you today.’
