The Strongest System - Chapter 509
Chapter 509: Brother, Where Are You Touching?
HAHA! Not bad, not bad! Seems like the killing intent of the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm does help in raising the power of my War King’s World Extinguishing Fist!” Within a region of the realm where the killing intent was especially putrid, a bald man clad in black armor was seated cross-legged on the ground, taking in the thick killing intent surrounding him.
This bald man was from the War world. With a pair of iron fists, he took on the entire world. In order to prove the power of his fists, he had ascended up into the Ancient Saint World.
Afterward, he caught wind of the mighty killing intent that laid within this Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm. He then thought of many ways to get himself in here in order to absorb the killing intent, so that he could infuse it within his War King’s World Extinguishing Fist and push it to greater heights.
“If only I could cultivate here for a good 10 years, I could definitely push War King’s World Extinguishing Fist to its peak! But a pity that those ancient race beings would never give me the chance. Seems like I’ve got to head over here more often from now on.” Zhan Wudi’s eyes were filled with disappointment. In fact, there was even some greed within them. If only he could make this entire place his, how great would that be?
However, a thought like that was fleeting and passed by as quickly as it came. After all, everyone knew how strong the ancient race was. Leave alone taking over this entire place, whether or not he could remain alive to get out of this place later on was still a question.
‘Seems like this place is entirely controlled by the ancient race. Who knows if there’ll be any hidden opportunities left. But then again, opportunities present themselves to those with affinity. Those ancient race beings themselves may not even know of those opportunities if that’s the case. Seems like I’ll start taking a look around after cultivating for a bit more.’ Zhan Wudi thought to himself.
All of the people who had entered this time around had gotten to where they were by struggling step by step. How could they not know of the motives of these ancient race tribesmen? However, right now, every single known secret ground within the Ancient Saint World was controlled completely by the ancient race.
Gaining entry to these places for anyone of the thousands of races out there would be tougher than ascending the Heavens itself.
Right now, the entrance fee for entering the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm was only 100 beings from the thousands of races. Even though it might be a little cruel, what was this small loss compared to the gains of the future?
“Brother Xiexing, you’re here!” Zhan Wudi, who was in the midst of taking in the killing intent of the surroundings, could sense the presence of Wan Xiexing. However, he did not open his eyes and merely asked casually.
Wan Xiexing wasn’t a threat to Zhan Wudi at all. Therefore, he wasn’t bothered in the least bit. He knew clearly what the other party’s cultivation and his capabilities were. He was no match for Zhan Wudi at all. Furthermore, now that he was taking in the killing intent of the surroundings, he did not want this to end so quickly.
Given his impenetrable body, what could Wan Xiexing do to him?
And even if this Wan Xiexing dared to sneak in an attack on him, he could turn the tides with the flip of his palms.
…
Hiding in a dark corner, Lin Fan observed this man clad in black armor. This man had an immense battle intent, which was sharp as a razor and could tear through the void. This was evidently someone from the War world.
Furthermore, his cultivation state was at desolate celestial lower level. He could be considered a powerful being. If Lin Fan were to take him on directly, there would be no issues given his current strength with the True Skill seeds. Furthermore, this man should only be trained in a single skill. There was no need to fear him if he only had a single True Skill seed if that were the case.
Lin Fan waited patiently, wondering what Wan Xiexing would do.
“Brother Xiexing, what are you trying to do?” Just then, Zhan Wudi, who had his eyes closed tightly shut, jerked momentarily. He had felt an icy cold hand fondling the back of his head gently. The hand then slid down his neck and continued downwards.
“Brother Xiexing! This is not a funny joke! Stop right now!” Zhan Wudi was in the midst of his cultivation as he suddenly hollered out. This holler was enough to reach the depths of one’s soul. In fact, anyone whose cultivation state was too low might probably even feel their innards shudder with this single holler.
Zhan Wudi did not know what this fella was up to. However, he was in the middle of gathering the killing intent crystal right now. He couldn’t let all his efforts go to waste just like this!
At this moment, his eyes suddenly burst wide open.
A frightening flash of light shot out from his eyes.
“Wan Xiexing! You’re courting death!” Zhan Wudi could not believe this guy before him! To think that he would grab at the object at his groin!
Lin Fan’s jaws dropped wide open as well with a face of absolute disbelief. To think that Wan Xiexing would be THIS perverted! Not only did he reach out and pull at Zhan Wudi’s object at his groin, he had even fondled it gently for a little bit!
“I. WANT. TO. DO. YOU…!” Wan Xiexing’s eyes were bloodshot right now. Pushing Zhan Wudi onto the ground, he started pursing his lips and kissing Zhan Wudi all over.
“WAN XIEXING! GO TO HELL…!” Zhan Wudi was completely riled up by now. To think that Wan Xiexing would do such a thing to him!
BAM!
Zhan Wudi sent Wan Xiexing flying away with a devastating punch.
‘Holy fck…! Why the fck did you have to touch him like that, brother!’ Lin Fan was completely stumped right now as well. This fella had better not kill Wan Xiexing just like that! Otherwise, Yours Truly’s experience points would be lost just like that!
However, to Lin Fan’s astonishment, Wan Xiexing did not suffer any injuries from Zhan Wudi’s punch! All he did was spit out a single mouthful of blood!
“How could this be…?” Lin Fan could not understand this at all. Wan Xiexing was only an azure celestial full cultivation being while Zhan Wudi was a desolate celestial lower level being! Even though it was just one cultivation state apart, that single punch by Zhan Wudi should have been enough to shatter Wan Xiexing’s body completely!
“DON’T RESIST! IT’LL BE OVER REAL QUICKLY…!” Wan Xiexing howled out before pouncing forth without any regards for his life at all.
“ARE YOU F*CKING INSANE…?” Zhan Wudi yelled out and sent another punch flying, determined to kill Wan Xiexing. Even though the both of them knew one another, to think that this fella would do something like this to him! Unforgivable!
…
Lin Fan was completely dumbfounded right now. In fact, he began to question Biggra’s effects. Even though he knew that Biggra was strong, something seemed to be off with this situation!
Could it be that Biggra’s effects had changed slightly after it was turned into a skill? Or, could it be that anyone who was in heat would have both their offensive and defensive capabilities augmented?
Otherwise, how else could he explain why Wan Xiexing could stand up against Zhan Wudi for such a long time!
Right now, Wan Xiexing was sprawled on Zhan Wudi’s back. Like an agile snake, he was coiling himself around Zhan Wudi and was gnawing at his neck area. Zhan Wudi’s clothes were decreasing by the moment as well. It seemed like Wan Xiexing was preparing for a back entry!
Lin Fan was watching silently. Seizing an opportunity, he moved in a flash and churned his True Skill seed, hollering out.
‘Firmament!’
A flash of axe broke through the void.
Being coiled down by Wan Xiexing, Zhan Wudi suddenly had goosebumps. He could sense danger surging through his mind. Punching out with both hands, his battle intent was unparalleled.
‘War King’s World Extinguishing Fist!’
Even though Zhan Wudi had yet to master his War King’s World Extinguishing Fist to its ultimate state, he had done enough to be able to cultivate this skill into a True Skill seed. Breaking through the void, the fists brought with it a devastating amount of power while it struck out at Lin Fan.
‘AHHHHH…!’
Suddenly, Wan Xiexing, who was behind Zhan Wudi, made use of the chance to jerk suddenly, causing Zhan Wudi to scream out in utmost pain, “F*CKER! I’LL KILL YOU!”
Zhan Wudi was completely incensed by now. Grabbing out with his claw-like hand, he was bent on pulling Wan Xiexing over. However, Wan Xiexing, who was bending behind him, was sticking to him like a dogskin plaster, rendering him unable to exert much strength.
‘True Origins Crushing Kick!’
Lin Fan’s body flashed once more as he kicked out. This single kick broke through the void and brought with it every single emotion known to mankind as it landed on Zhan Wudi’s crotch.
“ARGGHHHHHH….!!!”
An even more tragic howl burst out from Zhan Wudi’s mouth. The pain in his groin right now was like tidal waves, crashing down repeatedly.
In light of the pain, Zhan Wudi bent over, causing his a*s to be raised in the air. Seizing the opportunity once more, Wan Xiexing pushed in completely. He was like Christopher Columbus who had just discovered America right now! He had just discovered new grounds!
“All of you… go to hell…!” Lin Fan was the one who made use the opportunity to slash down with his axe.
Killing two birds with one stone.
A flash of axe light appeared as Firmament burst out as well, tearing down this dimension.
Chapter 510: Looking At One Another Is Turning A Little…Creepy!
This is unbearable to watch. My heart feels a little pained.’ Lin Fan clutched at his chest and took a deep breath. He then returned to his initial expression, and the pained expression had disappeared entirely as well.
‘Ding…Congratulations on killing azure celestial full cultivation being Wan Xiexing.’
‘Ding…Experience points +40,000.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on killing desolate celestial lower level Zhan Wudi.’
‘Ding…Experience points +50,000.’
‘Ding…Obtained War King’s World Extinguishing Fist.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on leveling up.’
‘Ding…Azure celestial middle level.’
…
The experience points that Lin Fan had obtained from killing these two people with Biggra were pretty significant. Not only did he level up, he lucked out as well, because a single skill popped out!
Lin Fan truly understood right now. Whether or not items appeared was completely dependent on luck.
And even though these two people had a pretty decent cultivation state, none of them gave off any treasures. What a pity!
However, that grim and sinister Mu Tian did seem to be holding on to a treasure. Lin Fan wondered what he had.
‘Ding…Do you want to learn War King’s World Extinguishing Fist?’
‘Learn.’
Lin Fan did not care what sort of skills he was learning any longer. After all, any utter trash skill could turn into an insanely powerful skill in his hands.
With Lin Fan’s current cultivation state, he could immediately master War King’s World Extinguishing Fist to a pretty decent level. While it couldn’t be said to be invincible, it was still pretty respectable.
Lin Fan punched out with both his fists and the void rippled. One fist carried with it the ‘Will’ of the fist, while the other fist carried with it ‘Destruction’. It was all-encompassing, with a boundless, devastating power, as though the doomsday had appeared once more.
“Indeed, this is pretty strong. If not for the fact that Wan Xiexing was being so horny, Zhan Wudi might have been able to stall for a really long time with these fists alone.” After retrieving his fists, Lin Fan could not help but acknowledge.
After keeping both of their storage rings, Lin Fan noticed a group of people approaching from the distance, then disappeared from where he was.
Post Lin Fan’s departure, a group of ancient race tribesmen appeared.
“Eh? Why have everyone disappeared?” They had sensed a disturbance in the surroundings and rushed forth. Therefore, they were naturally bewildered that there was no one upon their arrival.
“Continue searching. It’s almost time to take them all in.” The ancient race tribesmen remarked.
“Mu Tian, who possesses the treasure, is our only target. Kill everyone else on sight.”
“Hehe. These bunch of ants are sure agile on their feet.”
…
Now that Lin Fan had leveled up once more, he could feel the power level within his body surging yet again. With every single strike, even if the Earth did not shatter, he could create waves of impact at the very least.
‘Weren’t those two fellas way too poor?’ Lin Fan looked through the storage rings with a face of exasperation. To think that there wasn’t anything significant in their storage rings! Just how poor were they?
But, what Lin Fan did not know was that the both of them had ascended into the Ancient Saint World without knowing the actual circumstances up here. They had thought that this would be a perfectly wonderful place. Therefore, before they ascended, both of them kept all the treasures that they had accumulated over their lifetime into some cave so that they could pull off some gimmick for others to search for their treasures as well.
However, to their dismay, they found out after ascending that the Ancient Saint World was a complete sham! At the same time, they utterly regretted their actions.
If they had known that the Ancient Saint World would be so scammy, they wouldn’t have left their items back in their Lower Worlds.
Wan Xiexing had killed an ancient realm creature earlier on and received a crystal. Devouring the crystal, Lin Fan obtained some experience points from it. However, this was far from enough for someone like Lin Fan.
Lin Fan had not expected to let anyone who entered this place off. The moment he bumped into any of them, he would kill them for sure.
All these b*stards were way too cruel, without any heart of sympathy at all. To think that they would sell out their comrades in order to gain access to a secret ground. Where were their morals?
In the Ancient Saint World, the only people who could stand up against the ancient race were practically only those who had ascended into this world. After all, these were the beings that had gone through bloodshed and trials in their lives before entering this place. Anyone who was born naturally in the Ancient Saint World was way too naïve about life.
While it wasn’t that there weren’t any naturally born powerful beings in the Ancient Saint World, there was really just a few of them to be found.
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks and hid in a corner.
He had spotted an ancient race tribesman entering a cave nearby. Right after he entered, someone from the Thunder race followed suit.
Lin Fan had some vague impressions of this person from the Thunder race. Back outside, he didn’t even let a little kid go. He was a thorough degenerate!
‘An ancient race tribesman and a degenerate. Goddammit! Yours Truly swears that if he doesn’t f*ck you guys up real bad, he’ll follow your surnames.” Lin Fan observed his surroundings. Once he was sure the coast was clear, he moved nimbly and appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Lin Fan did not know what was going on within, and did not have the intentions to enter real deep either.
‘Heh. Courting your own death. Yours Truly shall see if you guys have got the luck then.’ Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered to exchange blows with these guys. Whatever! If he could sneak kills on them, he would. And even if he couldn’t, he would try as best as he could to do it.
‘Biggra, I’m counting on you!’ Lin Fan took in a deep breath and the True Skill seed churned. He then spat out a huge breath of air, causing a gust to appear as Biggra surged within the cave.
The True Skill seed of Biggra was shining brightly right now, as the quantity in its storage was decreasing. Slapping his storage, Lin Fan cultivated thousands of Biggra instantly and swallowed them into his tummy, replenishing the supply.
‘Yours Truly refuses to believe that he can’t kill sh*ts like you!’ Lin Fan spat out once more. Under the control of Lin Fan, the Biggra mist permeated the cave.
Suddenly, Lin Fan could sense that the person from the Thunder race was fighting it out with the ancient race tribesman. The fight seemed to be pretty intense. In fact, it was so intense that neither of them had realized this mysterious mist that was surrounding them.
Biggra rose slowly and filled the entire space between these two.
“What’s this?” The person of the Thunder race had suddenly noticed the mist as his face changed. However, he snapped back into focus almost immediately as the ancient race tribesman sent a punch to his face.
“Hmph, ant! Don’t get distracted.” The ancient race being laughed frostily. He did not put the surrounding mist to heart at all. Slapping out, he cleared the mist as he continued fighting.
“You want to kill me, eh? Let’s see if you’ve got the capabilities then.” The Thunder race being was surprised by the punch. However, he hollered out in rage and retaliated mercilessly. Gathering the power of thunder within his palms, the void crackled and boomed out non-stop.
Lin Fan controlled the Biggra as his face was equally ice cold. To think that these two fellas still did not know that they were at death’s door! But that didn’t matter. It was time to let them understand some pain!
Both the thunder race and ancient race beings took in a large amount of Biggra with every single breath they took. Furthermore, each time they struck out, the ripples that were caused would create even more reactions within the Biggra mist.
Gradually, both of their eyes began to turn bloodshot as the colors of their faces started changing too.
“W-what’s happening…?” The breathing of the Thunder race being was starting to get haphazard. It was as though something was penetrating his heart.
The same thing was happening to the ancient race being, as his breathing got ever more hurried. But this wasn’t the scariest thing of all! They were slowly discovering something new!
At the start of everything, each time they glared at one another, their gazes were filled with contempt and hatred. However, they were beginning to realize that the other party didn’t seem that detestable all of a sudden…
Each time that feeling surged within their hearts, they themselves would feel the fear accompanying the realization of that feeling. But that wasn’t the only creepy thing. They were beginning to lose control of their bodies!
Gradually…
Gradually…
“NOOOO…!!!”
Chapter 511: Thunder Trainer King
ver since Biggra was turned into a skill, it was infused with a will of its own, and its medicinal effects received an improvement as well. However, it might only barely be enough against the top powerful beings of desolate celestial state. But Lin Fan had already planned for ways to improve its effects.
After all, as long as it was a skill, Lin Fan was certain that he could make it work.
Suddenly, a tragic wail rang out from within the cave. Lin Fan, who was busy gobbling down Biggras, was startled by the cry as he came to a stop.
‘That cry sounded so tragic!’ Lin Fan clutched at his chest as though he had just committed some savage crime, ‘Guys, don’t blame Yours Truly! You’ve only got yourselves to blame for your cruel and inhumane acts! Yours Truly had no choice but to do this to you guys!’
Lin Fan did not have to guess to know what was happening within. It must be a really appalling sight to behold. There hadn’t been many instances where people had survived under the marvelous might of Biggra.
Other than Long Xuan, every other living being had crumbled under the prowess of Biggra and lost their sanity.
Moving nimbly, Lin Fan entered the cave. Things must be a real mess right now within. He thought about the sight he would be forced to face once more. Seemed like those innocent eyes of his would once again be tainted by the impurities of this world.
Within the cave, Lin Fan knew his way around since he was the one controlling the movement Biggra at the start. Hence, he found them really quickly.
Dense and impenetrable, the shroud was thick and swiveling around everywhere. Within that thick shroud, those two figures seemed ever so beautiful within.
Bobbing up and down, a clear sound resonated through the caves.
‘This is a little unbearable to watch!’ Lin Fan covered his eyes. It was hard to imagine the situation that was unfolding before his very eyes. And to think that he was the one who had created this entire scenario! Things were bound to turn really disastrous once the two of them snapped back to their senses.
Biggra was getting deadlier as time went by. Back in the past, it was just a godly pill to Zhang Ergou and the others while they could endure popping it down daily. However, right now, anyone who took it in was definitely in for it! Pleasure aside, they couldn’t even control themselves from performing all these shameless acts!
‘War King’s World Extinguishing Fist!’
Lin Fan could not bear to stain his eyes any longer. In the blink of an eye, he sent two fists flying out as the will of the punch descended into a doomsday calamity that repressed these two guys completely.
War King’s World Extinguishing Fist wasn’t a difficult skill to cultivate. The only thing required for it was for one to have an extremely strong will to fight. All was good as long as one could supply that never-ending thirst for a battle of the punches. Furthermore, the thick and dense killing intent within this place was the perfect nourishment for that skill.
Once Lin Fan was done with all of the trashes in this place, he would then take his time to slowly cultivate War King’s World Extinguishing Fist till he could convert it into a True Skill seed and evolve it.
Those two fellas who were busy releasing their pent-up frustrations had long since discovered Lin Fan. However, even though their inner hearts were struggling and fighting, their minds were like the boundless sea right now, crushing down their will and ability to control their bodies.
As both of the fists landed with equal will and destruction, these two guys were destroyed instantly.
‘Ding…Congratulations on killing desolate celestial lower level Thunder race being.’
‘Ding…Experience points +40,000.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on killing desolate celestial lower level Ancient race being.’
‘Ding…Experience points +40,000.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining Thunder Esoteric.’
‘Ding…Trainer profession senses Thunder Esoteric. Absorb?’
Lin Fan’s face changed immediately. To think that he would find a single True Skill seed floating there after killing that Thunder race being! The True Skill seed crackled with lightning, as though it was filled with a world of thunder within.
And even more incredibly, to think that his Trainer profession would pop up, requesting to absorb this!
While Lin Fan did not know what this was used for, if Trainer wanted to absorb it, then absorb it he would!
‘Absorb!’
‘Ding…Absorption success. Trainer profession undergoing change.’
‘Ding…Trainer profession now has a consciousness of its own: Young Thunder Trainer King.’
‘Holy f*ck…!’ Lin Fan was completely flabbergasted right now. What in the world was going with the system right now? To think that a Trainer profession could even gain a will of its own?! This couldn’t be a joke, right?
BOOM!
Suddenly, a young, bald kid appeared before him. This kid was surrounding by crackling lightning all around his body while wielding a long whip.
This kid’s gaze was extremely sharp, as though a world of righteousness was filled within his eyes. With just a single glance, his gaze was entrancing, causing one to be drawn deeply into him.
“I am the Thunder Trainer King.” A voice boomed out as the kid’s expression did not change in the slightest bit.
“Do you require the Thunder Trainer King to conduct training for you?” The small hands of the young kid slapped out on the ground with the whip suddenly, causing a loud cracking of the whip.
“N-no need…!” Lin Fan shook his head immediately. He was still in a state of loss, trying to figure out what in the world was going on exactly. How the hell did Trainer produce a consciousness of its own after he had just absorbed a Thunder Esoteric?
Wasn’t this some wild exaggeration!?
Soon, the Young Thunder Trainer King turned into a streak of lightning and entered Lin Fan’s body. Lin Fan could sense the Thunder Trainer King resting within his body, and that he could summon this child with a single thought.
This Thunder Trainer King reminded Lin Fan of the founder for use of electroconvulsive treatment for internet addiction, Yang Yongxin.
‘Don’t tell me that this Thunder Trainer King is going to follow down that same path!’ Lin Fan had always held his Trainer profession in high regards. It was a skill that he would use for people he viewed as valuable but would not submit to him.
But, with the appearance of this Thunder Trainer King, Lin Fan felt that his life was getting really f*cked up.
This was some horrifying sh*t!
Lin Fan did not think too much about this anymore. Once he had the time, he would further examine this Thunder Trainer King.
The corpses of the thunder and ancient race beings were still fused together. Furthermore, the positions of these two corpses right now were pretty indecent. So, Lin Fan could not be bothered to head up and take a look.
He took out his Demon City and absorbed their essence within it entirely.
Now that his Demon City was a supreme spirit weapon with the big ancient demon serving as its foundation, as long as he continued cultivating it, turning it into a Dao weapon or even Utmost treasure was definitely no issue at all.
…
The void was flowing with energy in a corner of the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm.
Mu Tian’s hand was like a claw right now as he dug into the ground. A massive surge of energy burst out, causing the pitch-black ground to quake violently. After that, a purple spirit vein was caught within Mu Tian’s hands.
“To think that my luck could actually get this good for me to discover the spirit vein of a powerful being who had fallen here!” Mu Tian kept the spirit vein within his storage ring. Once he was out and he could refine it, it could definitely raise his power level for sure.
Mu Tian looked up into the never-ending void as his eyes shone with a glint. The secret grounds of the Ancient Saint World were all controlled by the ancient race right now. All the treasures within had been swiped by the ancient race as well. Everything that was remaining were secret treasures that awaited those with affinity. If one did not have the luck, not only could they get nothing, they may very well lose their lives here even.
Just as Mu Tian was about to leave, his path forward was blocked.
“HAHA! Not bad, not bad! To think that you could still find some treasures, eh?” The ancient race beings had finally caught up with Mu Tian. They were watching him retrieve that item below the ground with thirsty, lustful eyes.
“Hmph. I knew that the ancient race wouldn’t be that kind-hearted. But do you guys really think that you can snatch away meat from a tiger’s mouth?” Mu Tian replied these ancient race beings sternly.
“Meat in a tiger’s mouth… HAHA! Let’s see who the tiger is then…”
…
Chapter 512: Those Experience Points! What A Pity!
The thousands of races out there are nothing but sows reared by the ancient race. If you do not wish to die, you had better hand over that spirit vein you found!” The ancient race being’s leader, Gu Yao, looked at Mu Tian with the intentions of toying with him. It was as though Mu Tian’s life and death were in the palm of his hands.
Ever since they had taken control of the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm, there had been countless numbers of beings from the thousands of races who were devoured by them. And each and every one of them had thought of themselves to be really smart and clever, only to be played out by the ancient race eventually.
“Hmph. If you want this spirit vein, that will have to depend on whether you’ve got the capabilities to get it from me.” Mu Tian laughed coldly. He instantly stretched out those long, pale hands of his. The moment he did that, the meat from his hands moved away, revealing those ghastly bones beneath.
Using his finger, he poked into the void. Suddenly, a gust of energy vortex gushed out towards the ancient race.
“Hmph. Know your place. Brothers, take him down!” The Gu Yao hollered out.
With that, an earthshattering explosion broke out.
There was only a single thought on Mu Tian’s mind right now. He wanted to get out of this place as quickly as possible. While he knew that he might not be a match for these ancient race beings if they clashed, he knew that they wouldn’t be able to take him down as easily either.
“Hmph. You wanna leave? Why don’t you take a look at who’s controlling this place?” Gu Yao hollered out. His aura was extremely intense right now as it gathered together like a dragoon, causing the void nearby to crack and weave out like a gigantic spider web. The entire void was then sealed. Anyone who wanted to leave would have to try ascending the Heavens first.
“Do you really think we wouldn’t know that you’ve been hiding your cultivation state? Even a desolate celestial upper-level being is nothing but an ant to us ancient race beings!” Gu Yao’s aura was extremely formidable right now, coiling around the place like the boundless seas.
Mu Tian’s face changed. He had thought that he could have these guys lower their guards if he intentionally hid his cultivation state. Seemed like he had been overthinking things. Not only had these ancient race beings known about his cultivation state from the beginning, they had purposefully allowed him to enter despite knowing it. That must mean that they had the utmost confidence of taking him down right here.
Mu Tian retreated step by step. The battle intent of these ancient race beings was unparalleled. Even their physical body states were something that was holding Mu Tian back. He did not dare to clash with them head-on.
As for those fellas who had entered together with him, they must have perished in the hands of these ancient race beings.
“The Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World shines upon us from the ancient race! All of you from the thousands of races out there are nothing but ants! Why would you continue to resist us like this?” Gu Yao’s voice boomed out. With a single palm slap, his True Skill seed began to spin.
‘Ancient Saint’s Skies!’
Suddenly, Gu Yao’s pitch-black hands rose up into the air, covering everything as they expanded wildly. Right now, Mu Tian was literally nothing but the corpse of an ant. It would definitely be impossible to escape out of this gigantic palm.
“DON’T GO OVERBOARD…!” Mu Tian howled out. The air of creepiness instantly turned horrific as thousands of vengeful spirits began to howl out malevolently.
‘CEASELESS PAIN!’
A gigantic black door appeared behind Mu Tian. Above the doors, thousands of ghosts were treading all around the place. A grim aura was emanating from it constantly, as if the door led to the boundless hells. With two gigantic hands pulling onto extremely thick chains, the doors creaked open with ghastly howls.
A fiery red flame burst out from within, targeting the mighty hand of Gu Yao that was holding up the skies. These ghosts had extremely sharp teeth as they opened their mouths while the void extended endlessly as though they were bent on devouring the hand to nothingness.
“All you damned people from the Ghost race!” Gu Yao had not expected this Mu Tian to be so tricky to deal with! Slapping with the back of that gigantic hand, it slammed down like a sharp blade as it cut through the void. The moment it made contact with that gigantic door, an intense clanging sound could be heard.
Those ghosts who were gnawing on that gigantic hand of Gu Yao were scattered into oblivion with the sound of this gigantic clang.
‘DESTROY…!’
While Mu Tian and Gu Yao were exchanging blows, the other ancient race tribesmen were deploying their own moves and striking out at Mu Tian.
Suddenly, the doors of Ceaseless Hell shattered apart as Mu Tian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His figure floated unsteadily in the sky.
“All you ant-like beings of the ghost race… Go to hell!” One of the ancient race tribesmen dashed over from the sides.
“INSOLENT…!” Mu Tian hollered.
‘GIGANTIC SKY BURIAL!’
The moment Mu Tian opened his mouth, a large amount of black gas burst forth from within. A gigantic cemetery suddenly appeared between the Heaven and Earth. Gigantic Sky Burial was Mu Tian’s treasure, a supreme grade spirit weapon.
Mu Tian had ascended into the Ancient Saint World for 100 years now, and had gone through tons of trials and tribulations. There was one time when he came across this treasure within a secret ground by chance. He then refined it within that secret ground itself.
The moment the Gigantic Sky Burial appeared, the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm got ever more sinister like a ghost town. There were numerous tombs and graves in that Gigantic Sky Burial. Some of them were named while others remained anonymous.
“Supreme grade spirit weapon…!” The moment Gu Yao caught sight of the weapon, his eyes shone with greed, “This isn’t something that someone like you should have!”
“Hmph. All of you from the ancient race are avaricious and insatiable. Do you see it though? Some of these graves are unmarked. But, don’t you guys worry. You’ll be leaving your mark there soon… real soon. You can then have your fill of torture.” Mu Tian laughed coldly. Slapping out with both hands, his furious and rapid slaps powered this spirit treasure.
‘BOOHOO…!’
A ghostly energy rippled out into the surroundings as those graves on the cemetery burst open suddenly, emitting a black light from within.
“AHHH…!!!”
Some of the ancient race beings who were struck by the dark light cried out in tremendous pain. Holes started appearing all over their bodies as though they were pierced by this light itself.
“HAHAHA! Resisting me? You guys must be dreaming! This is the Death Qi that was created by killing tons of powerful beings! No matter how tough your physical body states of the ancient race may be, it’s all futile!”
Those ancient race tribesmen who were pierced by the dark light turned into Essence Qi themselves and were coiled together with the ghostly vortex, being sucked into the cemetery.
On that Gigantic Sky Burial, all of those ancient race tribesmen who were killed were now wandering around blankly in between the graves, like lifeless zombies.
“HAHA…!” Mu Tian laughed out wildly as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was using up every single bit of strength he had to deal with these ancient race tribesmen. In reality, some of the abilities of the Gigantic Sky Burial were still beyond what he could use comfortably. However, he forced them out in order to fight against these ancient race tribesmen.
However, the worrisome thing for Mu Tian right now was that Gu Yao was still alive. No matter what, he definitely had to hold on until he could take Gu Yao down.
“B*STARD, YOU’RE COURTING DEATH…!” Looking at his fellow tribesmen being slaughtered, Gu Yao hollered out in anger as a bright flash of light erupted forth from his body.
Gu Yao strode forth bare naked, as armor scales began to sprout from within his body, lining his body with a complete body armor.
Gu Yao, who was clad with full body armor by now, had reached the peak of his powers. To think that the armour itself would be a spirit weapon!
“I’LL CRUSH YOUR SPIRIT WEAPON!” Gu Yao howled out. With a sudden movement, the void shattered with an explosion.
…
‘Hais, what a pity…’ Lin Fan, who was hidden in the corner, could not help but feel pained within his heart at this sight. To think that those living experience points of the ancient race tribesmen would be destroyed by this fella!
Damn it! God damn it!
Even though Lin Fan’s heart was aching, he dared not step out. After all, the fight between these two was way too intense right now.
Lin Fan was especially envious of that supreme spirit weapon in Mu Tian’s hands. That thing seemed a little overbearing!
BOOM!
Suddenly, a devastating force burst out, causing the entire Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm to quake violently along with it.
Chapter 513: Fallen
What’s the situation right now?’ This fight between both parties was earthshattering and dizzying, where one could not make out the actual situation within.
Lin Fan was hoping desperately that none of the BOSSES would die. The best-case scenario was for both of them to be gravely injured.
After all, when the sandpiper and the clam fought, it would always be the fisherman who would win.
Lin Fan had been hidden for a really long time now, awaiting that scenario to play out. When he saw Mu Tian slaughtering all the ancient race tribesmen, his heart was dripping with blood as well.
All of those were precious experience points! If only they were killed by him instead! That amount of experience points would be pretty significant!
But in order to get the final catch of these two BOSSES, he had to endure the pain and continue waiting patiently without revealing his secret location.
“HAHA…!”
Suddenly, a wild laughter burst out. This was Gu Yao’s voice.
“Mu Tian, what else have you got? Lay it all out!” Gu Yao wasn’t doing that well right now. The armor on his body was shattered and torn. It gradually dimmed, without the formidable aura it emanated earlier on.
Even though this spiritual armor had been destroyed, Gu Yao wasn’t infuriated in the least bit. After all, he was of the ancient race’s descent and was in possession of a heavenly skill blessed by the Heaven’s Will. As long as he had sufficient treasures, he could easily replicate that armor once more.
As for any other living beings in the Ancient Saint World, once a spirit weapon was destroyed, it was destroyed forever. They could only be dreaming if they were expecting any ancient race beings to repair it for them.
“Damn it…!” Mu Tian was in a terrible state right now. His hair was a mess, and many cracks had appeared on his Gigantic Sky Burial, as though it could crumble at any moment.
He had built up this spirit weapon painstakingly, only to have it destroyed by this ancient race b*stard. The sorrowful howls of the spirit weapon were even permeating into everyone’s ears.
“Gu Yao! I swear that I’ll not let you off till you drop today!” Mu Tian howled as a fiery rage burned in his heart. Even if he were to tear Gu Yao into pieces, that would barely satisfy his hatred right now.
How much time and effort had he used in order to turn his Gigantic Sky Burial into a supreme grade spirit weapon? JUST HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT?
Back then when he had obtained the Gigantic Sky Burial, it was only a lower grade spirit weapon. Over the years, he had been through countless of secret grounds and killed numerous strong beings in order to turn his Gigantic Sky Burial into a supreme grade spirit weapon. To think that it would be damaged so badly by Gu Yao. How could he tolerate that?
“HAHA! Kill me? Do you have what it takes?” Gu Yao taunted.
To him, treasures weren’t important in the least bit. While losing a supreme grade spirit weapon might be quite regrettable, he knew that his riches was boundless as an ancient race being. As long as he could obtain credit for the ancient race, he was bound to be rewarded with tons of these treasures.
But to these ants of the thousands of races out there, supreme grade spirit treasures were extremely hard to come by. After all, they couldn’t craft weapons by themselves. If their weapons were destroyed, it would be an extremely crushing feeling for them.
“YOU…!” Mu Tian’s Blood Qi was rumbling furiously right now. This was the anger that was born from his supreme grade spirit weapon being damaged. The anger was feeding this power right now.
He sprayed out mouthfuls of fresh blood as the color from his face drained even more.
In order to give his Gigantic Sky Burial the strength to bang down Gu Yao, he had infused his own energy within it as well. To think that this would be the tragic outcome of his precious weapon!
“You are already gravely injured. What more can you do to fight against me?” Gu Yao took a stride forth as the void rippled. Even though his strength wasn’t as formidable as before, killing Mu Tian with this amount of strength was still something easy for him.
The ancient race was born with an innate physical body state that was way better than anything this world could provide. Blessed by the Heaven’s Will, they held an immense advantage against any other person of the same cultivation state.
Furthermore, now that he had the buff of his treasure, he could take down anyone with nothing to stop him in his path.
If not for these privileges, the ancient race would have long been overthrown from their position by all the other races out there. How could they maintain their mighty reign after these millions of years?
Mu Tian looked at Gu Yao with his heart filled with indignance. However, it was exactly as Gu Yao had said. He had already reached his limit. Even if he were to continue clashing against Gu Yao, his outcome would still be the same.
‘No, I must absolutely not die here! With this spirit vein, I can definitely enter full cultivation state with ease! In fact, I might even get into that godlike divine celestial cultivation state!’ Mu Tian thought in his heart.
…
Eyeing the scene before him, Lin Fan was starting to lose his patience. If this Gu Yao were to strike right now, Mu Tian would surely die there and then. But if Mu Tian were to die right now, he would be making a really terrible loss!
‘Time to act…!’
PSHEW!
Shifting nimbly, the Stealth True Skill seed within Lin Fan’s body activated. In order to deal a fatal strike, those seeds that boosted his power level were churning as well.
‘Firmament!’
Suddenly, Lin Fan reappeared in the void. Hollering out, he slammed with his axe. This earth splitting axe cleave brought with it a devastating force as it ripped through the void without giving Gu Yao any chance to react at all.
“WHO DARES TO…?” Gu Yao’s face changed immediately as he cried out. In a maddened rage, he sent a flurry of punches with his will within them, punching out into the void.
‘True Origins Crushing Kick!’
‘Black Tiger Steals Heart!’
‘Twisting Heaven and Earth!’
Instantly, Lin Fan seemed like the maniac as he swiveled three True Skill seeds within his body and burst forth with so much force that the entire void was torn apart.
“T-this power! To think that this man has cultivated this many True Skill seeds!” Mu Tian whose breathing was extremely heavy right now was startled by the scene before him.
It was extremely difficult for anyone to cultivate a True Skill seed. Furthermore, the True Energy that was required to convert them was boundless like the vast seas, and the states required for every skill to be turned into a True Skill seed was different as well.
And to think that this man could produce three of them at one go!
All three of these skills had been turned into True Skill seeds! If their power were to be combined together, that was a force that could probably devastate the entire world!
“N-no. I must seize this opportunity to get out of this place as soon as possible!” Mu Tian was panicking right now. He then shifted his body nimbly, trying to get out in the chaos.
“Escape? Dream on!” Lin Fan laughed coldly upon spotting Mu Tian trying to escape.
‘Biggra!’
Now that his three skills were being struck out together, Lin Fan waved out with his palm. Instantly, a gigantic dragon was formed from the Biggra mist as it cut off Mu Tian’s path forward.
“AHHHH…!!!”
Gu Yao screamed out suddenly, “What is this skill?”
Gu Yao could not believe everything that was in his face right now. To think that there would be a flurry of fists and kicks coming from the air! Gu Yao had expected his unparalleled defenses to take these strikes with ease.
But, he found out in horror that these fists and kicks ignored all of his defenses and kicked straight at his groin!
This was an utter humiliation to Gu Yao!
“Any skill that takes your life should be as ballsy as mine! You guys dare to dream of ascending up into the Heavens when you’re just mere scum? Let Yours Truly teach you guys what it means to be a proper living being!” Lin Fan laughed coldly as his axe flashed out once more.
This axe was enough to devastate everything as it tore through the void, bringing with it an unparalleled sharpness.
“ARGH…!!!”
That was the last cry that rang through the world before Gu Yao’s body was split cleanly into two.
Everything was way too surreal for Gu Yao.
He wanted to resist, but he couldn’t react in time at all.
The pain in both his chest and groin was way too much for him to handle. It came crashing down like a tsunami, wave after wave after wave.
Thud.
The flash of Lin Fan’s Eternal Axe shone brightly in the entire space. This was the end of Gu Yao, who had reigned supreme for his entire life.
Fallen.
His pitch-black blood sprayed all over the sky.
Chapter 514: To Think That It Would Be This Strong!
Ding…Congratulations on killing desolate celestial upper level being Gu Yao.’
‘Ding…Experience points +60,000.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining damaged supreme grade spirit weapon Black Heavens Demon Armour.’
…
“H-how can that be…?” Mu Tian, who was being entrapped by Biggra, was stunned by the scene before him. To think that a powerful being from the ancient race would die just like that! How could that be?
Just who in the world was this person here and how did he gain access to the secret ground?
“Impossible! Back in the Ghost world, I have been through tons of trials and tribulations and have escaped death for so many times! Finally, I’ve reached this point after climbing up step by step! How can I die right here just like this?”
Mu Tian started to attack frantically. However, the dragon formed by Biggra howled malevolently. Even if he managed to slap out the dragon to dust, it would gather back and form together once more.
Lin Fan burst out laughing. Even though his killing of this desolate celestial powerful being was due to him taking advantage of the situation, this could be considered an opportunity in itself.
Opportunities were not only limited to seeking out treasures. For him, it was to strike out with thunderous blows and taking down others right when they were at their weakest.
60,000 experience points! That was a pretty significant amount, and he was one step closer to leveling up once more.
So what if that was a desolate celestial upper-level being? He was still slain like a pig nevertheless.
Even if Lin Fan were to bump into Long Xuan right now, he would no longer be the same person he was back then where he could only struggle helplessly and think of ways to run.
“Just who in the world are you?” Mu Tian looked at Lin Fan warily. He did not stop his struggles as he continued fighting against the Biggra dragon.
However, none of these attacks would work on this dragon conjured by Biggra.
Even though Lin Fan’s cultivation state wasn’t as high as Mu Tian, the True Skill seeds that he had cultivated were not seeds that Mu Tian could hope to compete against. And those facts weren’t even inclusive of the fact that Mu Tian was now heavily injured, and was on the brink of destruction.
“From the Xuanhuang World, I am Lin Fan, a human.” Lin Fan tossed his robes aside and looked over at Mu Tian imposingly. “In order to gain access to the secret ground, you have sold out our comrades from the thousands of races out there. That is a crime punishable by death.”
Lin Fan’s eyes shone with killing intent. He was bent on killing this Mu Tian.
The moment Mu Tian heard this name, he searched the fugitive list hurriedly as his face changed as well.
“I-impossible! Your ranking is in the 200,000, with a cultivation state of azure celestial middle level! How can you possibly cultivate True Skill seeds?” Mu Tian glared at the fugitive list with frightful eyes, unable to believe the stats there.
When he had witnessed Lin Fan deploying those True Skill seeds with such ease, he was almost certain that this was definitely a powerful being of desolate celestial cultivation state!
To think that this guy was only an azure celestial after he checked the fugitive list!
On the fugitive list, as long as one was ranked 300,000 and above, no matter who he was, he would be sensed by the Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World. Eventually, one’s cultivation state would be sniffed out by the world itself.
This was the biasedness of the Heaven’s Will to give the ancient race the advantage so that they wouldn’t send themselves to death unknowingly, without knowing the cultivation states of the other party.
When one was talking about the Heaven’s Will of the Ancient Saint World, there was no such thing as fairness. The only thing fair about this was the fact that the Heaven’s Will itself had not intervened in the destruction of these beings from the other races.
“Hmph! The life of Yours Truly isn’t something for a degenerate like you to understand. We don’t have much more to talk about today. Your death has arrived.” Lin Fan snorted coldly.
If he had known from the start that Lin Fan’s cultivation state was only an azure celestial middle level, Mu Tian might not have believed that this man would have what it took to kill him.
However, upon watching how Gu Yao was cleaved down, he finally understood that this man wasn’t bluffing at all.
Compared to Gu Yao, his injuries were even more severe. If this man wanted to kill him, Mu Tian knew that it was going to be an easy task for Lin Fan.
“WHY DO SEEK TO KILL ME? WE ARE ALL BEINGS OF THE THOUSANDS OF RACES OUT THERE AND SHARE THE SAME GOAL OF RESISTING AGAINST THE ANCIENT RACE!” Mu Tian howled out, trying to struggle for that last bit of hope.
“Don’t talk to me about that. Back when you gave up the lives of your fellow comrades from the thousands of races out there as a sacrifice for these ancient race beings, your fate had already been decided.” Lin Fan replied icily.
“HAHA! You’re talking about those trashes?” Mu Tian laughed wildly as his face turned ever more baleful.
“DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND THE TERRIBLE STATE OF OUR EXISTENCE RIGHT NOW? EVEN THE SECRET GROUNDS WHICH WERE THE ONLY PLACES WHERE WE COULD HOPE TO SEEK OUT A HOPE OF FIGHTING AGAINST THE ANCIENT RACE ARE CONTROLLED BY THEM! WHAT ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO IF WE WANT TO GROW STRONGER FASTER?”
“SO WHAT IF WE MAKE A SMALL SACRIFICE NOW? FOR THE SAKE OF A BRIGHTER FUTURE OF TAKING DOWN THESE BEINGS FROM THE ANCIENT RACE, EVERYTHING WILL BE WORTH IT!”
“IF YOU TELL ME THAT YOU KILLING ME WOULD HELP YOU TURN STRONGER SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE DOWN THE ANCIENT RACE, THEN I, MU TIAN, AM WILLING TO DIE IN YOUR HANDS!”
Mu Tian screamed out at the top of his lungs, directing these words at Lin Fan.
“You have your will, and I have mine… Mine is to kill you.” Lin Fan’s face turned frosty. With a single slap, the void rumbled as the energy currents within them surged and tore through everything.
“YOU WANT TO KILL ME, MU TIAN? YOU’VE GOT TO BE DREAMING…!” Mu Tian howled out. His road was far from the end right now! How could he just die here?
“YOU DO NOT KNOW JUST HOW CRUEL THE REALITY OF THE ANCIENT SAINT WORLD IS! WITH YOUR CURRENT WAY OF THINKING, THERE IS NO WAY THE THOUSANDS OF RACES OUT THERE ARE GOING TO GET STRONGER!”
“That is not something you get to decide.” Flipping his palm, Lin Fan slapped out at Mu Tian.
The True Skill seeds in his body churned, bent on killing Mu Tian.
The void rippled with a boundless amount of energy.
Mu Tian was spitting out blood repeatedly. Against Lin Fan, his face was filled with horror.
“IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KILL ME HERE, HOW CAN I GRANT YOUR WISH? MU TIAN SWEARS THAT HE’LL REMEMBER THE SEEDS OF VENGEANCE SOWED TODAY! BETWEEN YOU AND ME, ONLY ONE OF US SHALL SURVIVE IN THE FUTURE!” Mu Tian hollered out as he slapped out with his Gigantic Sky Burial.
‘EXPLODE!’
Mu Tian’s heart was bleeding right now. This was a supreme grade spirit weapon as well as his only treasure. However, in order to keep his life, he could not think of anything other than this.
As long as he could get to cultivate that spirit vein he had obtained, he could easily regain everything he had lost here.
Lin Fan had not expected Mu Tian to sacrifice his own supreme grade spirit weapon like that.
‘DEMON CITY!’
Lin Fan’s palm slapped out as the humongous Demon City appeared. The big ancient demon clamored in anger as his titanic arm stretched out to grab at the Gigantic Sky Burial.
BOOM!
A dazzling light erupted out from within. The self-destruction of a supreme grade spirit weapon was far from ordinary. The power that was emitted was definitely enough to destroy everything around.
The dragon of Biggra broke apart bit by bit before disintegrating completely.
“LIN FAN! I’LL REMEMBER YOUR NAME! THE VENGEANCE TODAY, MU TIAN WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT!”
…
Lin Fan moved nimbly. Looking around, he frowned.
“Damn it. To think that I let that fella slip!”
Lin Fan had not expected this move of self-detonating his weapon. To think that the power of a supreme grade spirit weapon’s self-destruction could be this strong that even the walls of the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm were blown apart.
As for where Mu Tian was right now, Lin Fan had no idea.
After keeping silent for a moment, Lin Fan heaved in a deep breath.
This was a huge loss to take. To think that Mu Tian was keeping this up his sleeves. But it didn’t matter. This was a lesson learnt then. If he were to meet with such a situation in the future, he would know how to deal with it.
Lin Fan looked around at the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm. He was in no hurry to leave.
Whether or not this place had any hidden treasures, Lin Fan wasn’t interested in that.
He refused to believe that his luck was THAT good for him to be able to find a treasure in this secret ground which must have been combed thousands of times by so many other people for treasures.
However, the killing intent in this place was pretty useful. It would do well to boost the power level of his War King’s World Extinguishing Fist.
…
Chapter 515: Doomsday Calamity.
p>The supreme grade spirit weapon, Black Heavens Demon Armour, had already been damaged, and Lin Fan did not have the patience to repair it. The armor was given to Gu Yao as a gift from the Heaven’s Will after he performed some exceptional merits for the ancient race.
The body portion of that Black Heavens Demon Armour was already tattered after that collision against the Gigantic Sky Burial earlier on. Right now, it was tethering on the brink of collapse.
If Lin Fan wanted to repair this armor, he would need not only a large amount of True Energy, but supplementary treasures to toss into the Heaven and Earth Smelt together.
The strong point of this armor was that it provided a perfect defense against all sorts of attacks. But to Lin Fan, this strong point was absolutely useless.
‘Devour!’
The mouth of the big ancient demon opened widely as it consumed the entire Black Heavens Demon Armour whole. The spirit weapon itself started howling as well. However, it wasn’t too long before the armor was digested into nutrients for Demon City itself.
Suddenly, the bare body of the big ancient demon shone brightly, as black armor scales began to line it.
‘Seems like devouring spirit weapons can allow the Demon City to grow as well.’ Lin Fan thought before he sped off into the distance.
The killing intent in this place was good stuff indeed. However, there was a huge clash that had happened here earlier on, and all the killing intent had been dispersed by the fight between Mu Tian and Gu Yao. It would take some time before the killing intent culminated together once more. Hence, Lin Fan headed off to look for another spot where the killing intent was the thickest and densest.
Astral winds. Earthen fires. Killing intent.
Within a really deep part of the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm, the void seemed like the end of the world right now, as the violent currents rippled out into the distance.
To anyone else, this was definitely the most dangerous part of the entire secret ground. If they were to be caught into this turbine vortex by accident, they would definitely be turned into mincemeat.
However, Lin Fan didn’t even move a brow as he dived straight in.
Those three different forces ripped out at Lin Fan’s body as though they were bent on tearing him apart completely. However, this amount of force was just right for Lin Fan. This was neither painful nor ticklish. He barely felt anything at all.
‘Roc’s Breath!’
An illusory figure of a gigantic roc appeared behind Lin Fan suddenly. This gigantic and humongous creature opened its mouth, and as though they could no longer control themselves, every single fiber of the world began to be sucked into the roc’s mouth.
Legend has it that a matured roc could easily suck up the True Energy in one part of the world with a single mouthful. Compared to that, this illusory roc that was summoned by Lin Fan’s was still way far off.
However, if it were just to suck in the killing intent of this entire Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm, it is still more than enough.
PSHEW!
Devouring the Heaven and Earth, a large amount of killing intent rose up furiously, forming a gigantic tornado that swiveled in towards Lin Fan’s body.
Suppress!
SUPPRESS!
With this large influx of killing intent within Lin Fan’s body, the system interfered immediately to convert this it into crystals.
With this conversion speed, even a desolate celestial cultivation state being would be hard-pressed to match up against it.
This killing intent here carried with it the battle will of countless powerful beings. If they were not converted, the killing intent would swim around the body freely. No matter who it was, they would almost lose their sense of control to this berserk intent almost immediately.
‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining Slaughter Crystal.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining Slaughter Crystal.’
…
One by one, these gray, dusky crystals floated within Lin Fan’s body as they increased in quantity. In this short period of time, Lin Fan had already gathered over a thousand crystal shards.
But this was far from enough. Compared to the entire Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm, this was nothing more than a scoop in the great, vast ocean of killing intent.
‘Yours Truly is a genius indeed! With the system watching over me, who in the world can take on Yours Truly?’ Lin Fan was brimming with confidence. He was absolutely certain of the bright future he had awaiting him.
As long as he continued on a steady track, overturning the utmost eight beings was not going to be a difficult task.
Time gradually passed…
As the number of Slaughter crystals gathered, Lin Fan’s blood and cells were lining up with these crystal shards with a gray glow. During that clash back then, innumerable powerful beings had fallen in this place. With the passage of time, the killing intent that was formed got even denser.
Within this killing intent was filled the battle hunger of these powerful beings. Even Zhan Wudi himself had to slowly temper and smelt this killing intent into crystal shards.
However, with the existence of the system, these battle intents were naturally no issue for Lin Fan.
‘War King’s World Extinguishing Fist!’
Lin Fan suddenly stood up and punched out with both fists. Consisting of both will and devastating power, he pushed the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist to its limits.
The will and devastation of the fist were infused with one another perfectly.
As though it was a doomsday calamity, the Qi of life and death started circulating as well.
The Slaughter Crystal Shards that were formed with Lin Fan’s body were infused within this War King’s World Extinguishing Fist.
‘Ding…War King’s World Extinguishing Fist leveled up.’
‘Ding…War King’s World Extinguishing Fist leveled up.’
…
Dissolving into a steady stream of energy, the Slaughter Crystals that were formed flowed towards the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist like a river. The more the consciousness of the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist leveled up, the more of an understanding Lin Fan gained towards this skill.
‘Not enough. I need just that bit more…’
‘Devour the Heaven and Earth!’
BOOM!
The Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm quaked violently as the boundless amount of killing intent turned into a thousand miles long dragon and spun over, digging itself into Lin Fan’s body.
If anyone else were present right now, they would definitely be watching this scene of Lin Fan absorbing the killing intent with their mouth agape.
After all, the speed of absorption was simply out of this world!
Even a divine celestial cultivation state being might not possess the same ability as Lin Fan!
‘Ding… War King’s World Extinguishing Fist leveled up.’
Once again, the crystal shards turned into a river and flowed into the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist.
Lin Fan used the skill once more, punching out and causing the entire Heaven and Earth to rumble. The entire Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm seemed to have fallen into a state of chaos as flames surged while astral winds gusted.
Time passed…
After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Fan had delved completely into the world of the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist.
Within the state of consciousness of this skill, Lin Fan was like the God of War himself, battling against an endless amount of ancient race beings in the battlefields of the ancient times.
With a fist into the Heavens and one onto the Earth, no one in this world could block his might.
‘Ding… War King’s World Extinguishing Fist evolved.’
‘Ding…Doomsday Calamity God Fist.’
Suddenly, Lin Fan’s eyes burst open as a beam of light shot out.
‘Finally, the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist has evolved! Time to cultivate it into a True Skill seed!’ This Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm was a precious place indeed. Taking in these killing intents was as good as popping pills for the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist.
However, Lin Fan also understood that the reason for this was due to his system’s ability to convert the killing intent. Otherwise, even if it were Zhan Wudi, he would have to take another couple, no, dozens of years before he could raise the War King’s World Extinguishing Fist to its peak.
‘Cultivate!’
Lin Fan suddenly hollered out as the True Energy within his body rumbled. The surrounding killing intent in his vicinity began to surge through his body.
The figure of a Doomsday Calamity Demon God appeared within his body suddenly, howling balefully before it shrank continuously into a brightly shining seed.
This was the True Skill seed of Doomsday Calamity God Fist.
The moment Doomsday Calamity God Fist was cultivated, Lin Fan could feel the power level of his body rising rapidly.
‘Not bad, not bad! Even though Zhan Wudi was incredibly weak, the skill that he has learned is pretty decent! It is especially strong now that it has evolved.’ Lin Fan remarked in his heart. He then looked around at the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm. There wasn’t much killing intent left now. He might as well suck it all in.
However, just as Lin Fan was about to do it, he was distracted by a sound that rang out right by his ear.
Chapter 516: Trying To Scam Yours Truly?!
p>”Little buddy there, you can’t go on absorbing the rest of the killing intent here any longer. Otherwise, the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm will cease to exist altogether.”
Just as Lin Fan was preparing to absorb the rest of the killing intent, this unknown voice rang out in his ears from nowhere.
“Who’s there!” Lin Fan frowned. To think that there would be someone else within this Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm! And he had got some capabilities, for him to avoid detection by Lin Fan.
“Who I am does not matter. But please, little buddy, please have mercy and spare the remaining killing intent in this place.” The voice rang through once more. It was calm and relaxed, without any bit of change in it.
Lin Fan checked out his surroundings warily. Other than the musky dust all around him, there was nothing else.
But where in the world was this voice coming from? That was weird indeed.
‘Since there’s this bit left, leaving it would not help much either. I might as well suck it all in.’ Lin Fan did not know who the other party was. However, if Yours Truly were such an obedient person, he wouldn’t have lived the way he had until today.
If this person had truly wanted to keep the killing intent intact, he wouldn’t have chosen to keep himself hidden from the start till now. This person would have appeared to stop him the moment he had started that berserk suction of the killing intent earlier on.
But by the current situation, it was evident that this fella’s intent was not to kill him. Did this mean that he was afraid of Yours Truly?
Furthermore, even though Lin Fan had received some bounties upon entering this Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm, he hadn’t gotten anything that was superbly big. Thus, that left him pretty displeased.
“No…! The killing intent has a self-regenerating property. Even though it may take a couple of hundred years for the killing intent to recover to its initial state, if you suck it dry completely, the entire Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm will be destroyed and disappear from the Ancient Saint World forever.” The voice rang out once more, this time a little more hurried.
“Let it be destroyed then! Yours Truly has made a round trip here without obtaining a single treasure! How can I be satisfied leaving here without anything at all? Even though this killing intent isn’t anything majestic, it can serve as a consolation prize at least!” Lin Fan wanted to see how the other party would react to this statement.
The mysterious voice remained silent for some time without speaking up.
“Could I persuade you to leave if I gave you a treasure?” The mystery person asked.
“Alright. But I’ll have you know that I wouldn’t be satisfied with just any mere treasure!” Lin Fan had not expected this mystery person to offer him a treasure!
But how could this be as well? There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. For this person to offer him a treasure like this, someone who was unaccountably solicitous, he must be hiding evil intentions. However, Lin Fan was curious towards the identity of this mystery person.
To be able to remain well hidden within the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm while avoiding detection altogether, Lin Fan could not deny his talent.
Instantly, the void rippled as a passageway appeared before Lin Fan.
‘Come on in. I’ll bring you over to my side.’
Lin Fan checked out the passageway for a moment before striding in.
Upon his reappearance, Lin Fan found himself standing before a mountain cave. Attempting to step in, the voice rang out once more.
“You wouldn’t be able to enter this place. This old man here has been entrapped by those ancient race beings for tens of thousands of years now. If you are able to enter, I would have been able to leave long ago as well. The ancient race had used the Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm as a foundation to trap me within here. If that place is destroyed, this old man here will never be able to leave ever again. Hence, I implore for you, little buddy, to show some magnanimity. This old man will not treat you shabbily.”
From that speech, Lin Fan was utterly convinced that a powerful being was residing within this place.
However, he remained distrustful of these words.
“I’ve yet to inquire about your name, senior.” Lin Fan cusped his fists before the mountain cave.
There was a bright glow of light gleaming at the cave, as though it was a seal of sorts.
Lin Fan wasn’t too familiar with seals in general. Therefore, he did not know what sort of a thing that was.
“This old man here is the Patriarch Azure Saint.”
…
Lin Fan had never heard of this name before. Because of that, he did not know what sort of a person this Patriarch Azure Saint was. However, Lin Fan was mindful of being wary instead of trusting the words of this Patriarch Azure Saint instantly.
“This old man here has kept a treasure hidden for some time now. It’s time to compensate my little buddy, you then.” Suddenly, the void rippled as an item appeared before Lin Fan.
The moment Lin Fan caught sight of the item, his brows creased. It was a piece of talisman paper.
The talisman was yellow in color, with all sorts of weird symbols inscribed on it. All of these symbols glowed with a golden shine. Lin Fan could not make out what it was.
‘This is the Heaven Saint Imperial Talisman. It possesses many marvelous usages. Using this could increase the grade of one’s treasure.’
Upon hearing these words, Lin Fan’s heart swayed a little. Increasing the grade of one’s treasure? He had got to be kidding, right?
If that were the case and Lin Fan used this talisman on Demon City, it could instantly turn from a supreme grade spirit weapon to a dao weapon! That was bloody overpowered!
“Little buddy, all you have to do is infuse your True Energy within it and refine it. My only request is for you to not let anyone else know of this place after you get out, little buddy.” Patriarch Azure Saint’s voice rang through once more.
Lin Fan did not reply as he took this shiny talisman into his hands.
‘Ding…Discovered Devil’s Switching Talisman.’
‘Devil’s Switching Talisman: Once the other party infuses their True Energy within it, one could exchange their bodies with the other party.’
“HOLY FCK…!” Lin Fan’s facial expression did not change at all. However, his heart was stampeding like African wildlife right now.
Heaven Saint Imperial Talisman my ass! Fck your mother!
‘Indeed, it’s as Yours Truly had guessed. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.’ Lin Fan lamented within his heart. At the same time, he was filled with some curiosity towards this Patriarch Azure Saint now.
Most of the time, all of these bad guys who loved to pull off these dirty tricks were just a bunch of pansies. Lin Fan did not believe that Yours Truly couldn’t fck him up real good.
Suddenly, Lin Fan’s expression changed into one of immense gratitude as tears poured down his face while he cupped his fists.
“OH, MY GENEROUS SENIOR!”
“Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter! It is the great hope of the thousands of races out there for me to be able to meet with a talented little buddy of your caliber in my lifetime. How about you start refining the talisman here, little buddy? This old man here will send you on your way later on.” Patriarch Azure Saint chirped happily.
“Oh, but there’s something you don’t know about, senior! As someone of the thousands of races out there, this junior here hasn’t had the chance to come across a treasure at all! Even if I were to refine this talisman, it would be useless for me! I might as well leave with this talisman and hope to exchange it for a pretty good treasure out there with someone else!” Lin Fan acted like he was filled with immense regrets and helplessness.
Within the cave, Patriarch Azure Saint had not expected the other party would react in this manner! He was startled and couldn’t speak for a moment.
“What’s wrong with you, senior?” Lin Fan asked on.
“Little buddy, you’ve got no idea. This Heaven Saint Imperial Talisman was created with this old man’s tireless efforts! If you leave this Infinite Slaughter Ancient Realm, the talisman will lose its powers! As long as you refine it here and turn it into your personal possession, you can then head out there and exchange it with anyone else easily!” Patriarch Azure Saint replied.
‘Holy fck! This guy is hell bent on scamming Yours Truly! To think that he could come up with this lame a*s reason! Who knows how many others he’s managed to scam!’ Lin Fan was rife with insults in his heart. However, his outer facial appearance did not change in the slightest bit.
“I guess this junior here has no choice but to refine it here then.” Lin Fan relented.
“Good…!”
Within the cave, it was pitch black. A set of blackened bones were pinned down onto the ground with some rusty old nails. One could only wonder how long this corpse had remained here for there to not even be any blood left.
Above the corpse was a tuft of black mist.
This was the so-called Patriarch Azure Saint.
