The Strongest System - Chapter 558

Chapter 558: Thunder Trainer King’s Academy of Electroconvulsive Therapy

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

“People at birth, are naturally good…”

“Their natures are similar, but their habits make them different…”

All of these ghost children began to recite phrase after phrase. With that, the vengefulness that was brooding in their hearts gradually dissipated. At the same time, those pitch-black clothes they were wearing slowly turned into a shade of pure white.

With that, something even more shocking happened.

From out of thin air, desks appeared one by one, and a book appeared on each of them. The cover of this book was none other than the ‘Three Character Classic.’

‘Holy f*ck! What in the world is going on right now?’ Lin Fan was totally stumped. This had gone way beyond his expectations!

What the hell was happening within his realm right now? Even though this realm was evidently created by him, why in the world couldn’t he understand a single sh*t at all? This was way too incredulous!

This wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg just yet.

One by one, all of the ghost children sat down on their desks while wearing these pure white student robes of ancient times. Carrying the Three Character Classic in their hands, they began to recite out the text while swaying their heads left and right.

Those malicious expressions of theirs began to purify into one of immaculate innocence.

At the same time, beams of bright light began to flow out from these ghost children. Fusing together, they culminated into a river and flowed towards the Thunder Trainer King.

“This is the Karma of Redemption!” At this moment, Fairy Hongyun was stunned. She had not expected a mysterious power such as the Karma of Redemption to exist on the face of this world!

“Karma of Redemption?” Lin Fan’s brows creased as well, not really understanding where Fairy Hongyun was going along with that.

“Legends have it that the Ancient Saint World has been around for a really long time now. Through the countless of millenniums, numerous civilizations have existed. The Karma of Redemption is a power that existed a really long time ago. To think that it would still exist after such a long period of time has passed! In fact, even those modern beings of the Buddha race wouldn’t be able to comprehend the Karma of Redemption themselves!” Fairy Hongyun exclaimed in shock.

“How do YOU know about it?” Lin Fan asked suspiciously.

“I read about it from books.” She looked over at Lin Fan and replied.

At that moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.

A bright burst of light filled up the entire realm as the sky boomed out loudly. Twelve unusual looking Incense of Redemption appeared on the head of the Thunder Trainer King.

These Incense of Redemption burned while emanating a really invigorating and fragrant scent.

With that, a Hand of Redemption appeared out of nowhere as well. Holding up the twelve Incense of Redemption together, the hand dotted the lit part of the incenses at the head of the Thunder Trainer King.

Suddenly, twelve burn scars appeared on the head of the Thunder Trainer King. However, the moment these burn scars appeared, yet another weird phenomenon happened in the air.

The world was filled with golden lotuses while Buddhist tunes rang through the sky. The moment anyone heard these, their spirits felt instantly lifted.

The Thunder Trainer King had turned holy all of a sudden, as a rainbow colored divine light appeared on the back of his head.

“To think that this is the Bodhisattva Discipline!” The moment Fairy Hongyun caught sight of this, she was trembling entirely, unable to stay still any longer.

On the other hand, Lin Fan was utterly confused. How in the hell would he know what a Bodhisattva Discipline was?

“This is symbolic of the highest order of the Buddha race, and represents its infinite potential, infinite wisdom, infinite heart of redemption, infinite power…” Fairy Hongyun was explaining something that had never ever happened in history.

However, Lin Fan didn’t understand a single hoot about what she was talking about. The only thing he could get out of her explanation was this: ‘Thunder Trainer King was going to be f*cking strong soon!’

Lin Fan had not expected the Thunder Trainer King to be capable of such feats. This was something he had never once thought about before.

At this moment, the Thunder Trainer King started moving. Raising that tender hand of his, a flash of Buddha light appeared in the realm. From that, a majestic looking academy appeared.

However, the most jaw-dropping thing for Lin Fan was that a tablet was erected right at the entrance of this academy!

‘Thunder Trainer King’s Academy of Electroconvulsive Therapy.’ And, the tagline was this, ‘You deserve it.’

‘Holy fck! Isn’t this going towards the cruel, exploitative methods of that bstard, Yang Yongxin?’ Lin Fan broke out into a cold sweat. This was simply too damned nefarious!

“Little kiddos, come over to the light. Come forth into the new era, into this academy, where you shall receive the education of love from Your King here!” The Thunder Trainer King called out solemnly.

“Yes, King!” All of those innocent and nubile kids kept their books and folded their desks. As though they were converted, they entered that unknown academy.

Suddenly, Lin Fan realized something terrifying. Just as the Thunder Trainer King was turning around, his lips curled into a sinister and beastly grin.

‘This…this…!’

Lin Fan did not dare to imagine any longer. He could not bear to think about the sort of ‘education’ these kids would receive upon entering that mysterious academy.

“How could this be? How could all my children there break free of my control?” Suddenly, Wan Wujun broke out in anger with reddened eyes. He could not believe everything right before his face.

The moment all his children left for that academy, Wan Wujun realized that his realm was completely useless now with the loss of all those children!

Just who in the world was this guy? What was that beam of light from earlier?

Wan Wujun broke down. His heart was bleeding right now. To think that this realm that he had so painstakingly built would be destroyed by some unknown bald-headed kid! How could he endure this at all?!

“Oh, poor lamb who has lost your way. Are you willing to receive Your King’s education of love as well?” Just as the Thunder Trainer King was about to enter his academy, he realized that the security guard room at the entrance of his academy was empty. Because of that, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Wan Wujun.

“Damn it! DAMN IT!” Wan Wujun was thoroughly riled right now as he howled out malevolently, “I’M GOING TO KILL YOU…!”

Looking at everything before him, Lin Fan felt that he did not have to do anything anymore. It was as though he had truly handed over the whole show to the Thunder Trainer King right from the very start.

At this moment, that stern and solemn Thunder Trainer King shook his head, “Hais! If I don’t enter Hell, who would? Since you wish to kill me, Your King here shall let you kill me then. All I can hope for is that you would be able to find your way back before you lose yourself entirely in that endless abyss.”

“Find back your true self, your true heart. Look back for the kindness you once had in your heart and diffuse all of your hatred within. Let Your King here bear all your burdens.”

The moment Lin Fan heard these words of the Thunder Trainer King, his brows twitched.

Plot!

This was without a single doubt a plot!

“HOW DARE YOU SNATCH OVER MY INFINITE CHILDREN AND DESTROY MY REALM? I SHALL TAKE YOUR LIFE!” Wan Wujun howled out in anger as he darted out towards the Thunder Trainer King in a frenzy.

Looking at Wan Wujun, the Thunder Trainer King’s face was unchanging. Placing his palms together, a bright Buddha light appeared instantly. This Buddha light shone through the entire realm and caged up Wan Wujun within it.

Suddenly, Wan Wujun was beginning to realize that the bald-headed kid before his very eyes was beginning to grow in size and holiness!

As though it was being chipped away by something, Wan Wujun felt the malice within his heart diminishing by the second.

Lin Fan frowned. Just what in the world was this fella up to? However, something that stumped Lin Fan happened again once more.

The moment that menacing Wan Wujun reached the face of the Thunder Trainer King, his face changed drastically, as though he was filled with immense regrets.

With a single thud, he collapsed to his knees before the Thunder Trainer King.

“Oh, King! I have sinned gravely! I am willing to receive that noble and selfless education of love of yours!” Wan Wujun was repenting sincerely right at the feet of the Thunder Trainer King at this very moment.

And with that came the final blow.

The Thunder Trainer King fondled Wan Wujun’s head fondly and gently.

“Enter my Thunder Trainer King’s Academy for Electroconvulsive Therapy. I guarantee that you’ll turn over a new leaf. From this day forth, you shall be reborn as a brand-new man. Follow my teachings, come on.”

“Yes.”

…

Lin Fan’s jaws dropped straight down to the ground. Just what in the bloody hell was happening right now? This was nothing as he had imagined!

What the f*ck was going on with his realm? How did it produce things like these?

Chapter 559: Fire Water Secret Grounds

‘My ultimate technique…Bare Nudeness…!’

Looking at Wan Wujun following the Thunder Trainer King into the academy, Lin Fan suddenly recalled this issue of unparalleled importance!

Why the hell had he bothered leaving Wan Wujun alive till the end?

It was all for that ultimate move, Bare Nudeness!

But now that Wan Wujun had been converted by this Thunder Trainer King, Lin Fan would definitely fight it out with the Thunder Trainer King if he couldn’t get a hold of that ultimate move later on.

Just as Lin Fan was busy contemplating about all this stuff, Fairy Hongyun’s face was completely petrified. Even though she had a wide knowledge about things, this was truly the first time she had encountered a realm like this!

A realm which possessed a consciousness of its own! How could this be possible? And, to think that there would be such a bizarre spirit residing within the realm!

But, little did Fairy Hongyun know that the Thunder Trainer King wasn’t the only spirit that was residing within the realm. There was also the spirit of Biggra, and all sorts of other nonsensical spirits.

This was a bloody strong realm, way too bloody strong!

At this moment, Lin Fan was trying to communicate telepathically with the Thunder Trainer King secretly, for him to hand over that ultimate move, Bare Nudeness.

This time around, the Thunder Trainer King had taken nearly every single benefit there was to it! Even though Lin Fan had killed 5 divine celestial level 1, True state beings, the experience points received were not much.

The thing that Lin Fan was coveting the most was that ultimate move of Wan Wujun.

But right now, Lin Fan was pretty upset. The damned Thunder Trainer King wasn’t replying to him at all! However, when Lin Fan looked over, he realized that the Thunder Trainer King was in the secret chamber, happily training up Wan Wujun!

His methods of training were extremely cruel. It was as though the Thunder Trainer King was utterly relishing this precious moment after not conducting training for a long period of time.

“My sincerest gratitude for your lifesaving act, dear gentleman! Could I inquire for your great name, gentleman?” Breaking out of her stupor, Fairy Hongyun asked Lin Fan thankfully.

For the moment, Lin Fan decided to let the Thunder Trainer King be. He would wait till the Thunder Trainer King was done with training the other fella before asking for that skill. Right now, he should settle the matter at hand.

This woman had a big treasure with her! Lin Fan wondered how incredible that treasure must be.

“I am Lin Fan. It is in my blood to render my assistance towards any injustice I come across in this world. Lady, we can make do with the formalities and thanks.” Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively. However, he was busy thinking about how he should put his words across so that he could find out just what that treasure was.

Curiosity would kill the cat indeed.’

‘Forget it, it’s better to cut to the chase and ask her straight up.’

“Lady, I’ve noticed that these people were hunting you. It seemed as though the reason was due to this strange treasure that you were holding. Don’t take this the wrong way now, but I’m just a naturally curious person. Hence, I’m really interested to find out more about it. I don’t mean anything else.” Lin Fan explained hurriedly, just in case the other party would think that he was a bad person as well.

After all, how could someone as righteous as Yours Truly be categorized together with those greedy lowlifes?

Not expecting Lin Fan to be this direct, Fairy Hongyun chuckled out as well.

“Gentleman Lin, you’ve overthought things. Hongyun here has never once thought of you as someone as greedy as them.” Fairy Hongyun laughed out.

“This is the treasure they were trying to snatch away from me.” With that, Fairy Hongyun held out a talisman paper. Immediately afterward, she began to explain without any bit of wariness towards Lin Fan at all.

“This talisman paper isn’t any treasure of sorts. It is merely a Directional Talisman used to detect secret grounds.”

“Secret grounds Directional Talisman?” Lin Fan was puzzled right now. Weren’t all the secret grounds in the Ancient Saint World controlled by the ancient race? How was there something like this out there?

At the same time, Lin Fan was thoroughly impressed with the trusting nature of Fairy Hongyun. She must possess some form of impossible luck for her to be able to survive this long in this world without a single bit of cautiousness.

“Dear gentleman, you’re laughing at how Hongyun does not have a single shred of cautiousness in her heart, right?” Just as Lin Fan was thinking about everything, Fairy Hongyun spoke up.

“Ah, no! Of course not! How could that be?” Lin Fan’s face changed immediately as he replied in an upright manner, as though he was someone of immaculate morals.

“It’s alright, kind gentleman. Hongyun has had this special sense since she was young. Even though Hongyun can sense that you’ve got a ferocious aura around you, I know that you would only employ that aura to kill off the ancient race beings. As such, Hongyun knows that you’re a good person.” Hongyun replied.

Lin Fan was stunned. To think that there could be someone in this world who could sense out good and bad people!

However, to Lin Fan, the difference between good and bad people lied in their ideals and beliefs. Because of that, their motives were naturally different as well.

Coming from another angle, be it good or bad people, everyone was just trying to craft out a better life for themselves.

“Alright then. But, you don’t have to continue referring to me as a gentleman. It’s fine to just call me Lin Fan.” Lin Fan continued.

“Alright, then please just refer to me as Hongyun, gentleman.” Fairy Hongyun smiled.

“Hongyun.”

“Lin Fan.”

“Haha…!”

Looking at one another in the eye, the both of them burst out into laughter.

“There are a total of eight of these talisman papers. I’m only holding on to one of them. The others are with my sect members. I wonder if they’ve discovered the Fire Water Secret Ground yet.” Fairy Hongyun pondered.

“Fire Water Secret Ground?”

“That’s right. That’s the burial ground for the Fire Water Emperor. A long time ago, the Fire Water Emperor was a heaven-defying powerful being. He was an unparalleled fighter who was able to wield the true two great powers of Fire and Water. He eventually died within the Heaven and Earth in a seated position, leaving this burial ground behind. Even the ancient race themselves don’t know about this place.” Fairy Hongyun explained.

The moment Lin Fan heard the four words, ‘heaven-defying powerful being’, his interest was piqued immediately. Stuff like secret grounds and whatnot was what Lin Fan enjoyed the most. Especially when they were the burial grounds of a heaven-defying powerful being.

However, he did not know what cultivation state this Fire Water Emperor was at, nor did he know of the sort of treasures that were hidden within this secret ground.

Having once been fcked over in the as by that dog, Seven Saint, Lin Fan did not hold much expectation towards powerful beings and their burial grounds. However, for someone like him who had an invincible system, it would not be easy for these fellas to f*ck him ever entirely as well.

“Let’s head there together, shall we? If we’ve got one more person entering the Fire Water Secret Ground with us, we’ll have one more pair of hands to help out everyone.” Fairy Hongyun invited.

“That doesn’t sound like it’ll be really appropriate, does it?” Of course, Lin Fan was raring to go right now. However, if he were to just follow them in just like this, wouldn’t her sect members be filled with objections?

“It’s alright. The secret ground is immensely huge, with countless treasures. Everything depends on one’s affinity and encounters. Some people could search the entire secret grounds and meet zero encounters, only to return empty-handed. On the other side, those who could meet with encounters would find treasures even if they were standing still on a spot. Therefore, personally, I do not subscribe to such biases. It’s just that…” Fairy Hongyun smiled. However, her sect members might not think in the same manner as her.

Looking at Fairy Hongyun, Lin Fan was elated as well. This was a really sensible way of thinking. Without further formalities, Lin Fan headed into the distance with Fairy Hongyun.

Fire Water Secret Grounds, Fire Water Emperor… Just the names alone were enough for Lin Fan to tell of their grandiose. He could only hope that anything awaiting him within wouldn’t be a disappointment.

At the same time, he wondered about the number of people from Fairy Hongyun’s sect that would arrive. If there were too many of them, there could be some trouble.

After all, being the lone outsider, he would definitely be ostracized no matter what.

Chapter 560: The Coquettish King

They flew for the entire journey.

Fairy Hongyun’s speed was pretty slow. However, noticing how energetically she was leading the way, Lin Fan did not disturb her at all.

At this moment, Lin Fan was busy communicating with the Thunder Trainer King. To his surprise, the Thunder Trainer King was extremely relaxed at this moment! He was busy explaining the great wisdom of life to those toddlers he had trained.

‘Hand over Wan Wujun’s ultimate move.’ Lin Fan was thoroughly exasperated with the Thunder Trainer King. To think that this fella would grow to this extent!

And this was all thanks to the system. The system bore a consciousness for all of these skills. Not only that, all of these consciousnesses were really sly and crafty.

‘Previously, you wouldn’t even let me toy with the Sovereign King Wei for a move or two…’ Even though it was said that the Thunder Trainer King had obtained a Bodhisattva Discipline, he didn’t have any holy disposition in the face of Lin Fan. Right now, he was more like a brat that was fuming over not getting what he wanted.

‘Holy f*ck! This little shit’s bearing grudges now!’ Lin Fan was thoroughly speechless right now. To think that the Thunder Trainer King would keep the grudge from back then up till now!

Sovereign King Wei was such a horrifying existence! How would Lin Fan dare to take a chance with that? If he were to suddenly retaliate in the midst of training and went straight for his throat, he would have been the one responsible for his own death due to his arrogance!

‘Be good now and hand over that ultimate move to me.’ Lin Fan replied in a nice tone.

‘No. Since you’re selfish against me, I’ll be selfish against you too!’ The Thunder Trainer King tossed down his head.

‘Aiyoh! This guy’s getting out of hand…!’ Lin Fan thought in his heart, thoroughly helpless by now.

This was a good case of ‘Spare the rod, spoil the child!’

‘Be obedient now and hand it over. I promise that if I meet with a similar type in the future, I’ll definitely let you train him up.’ Lin Fan continued, somewhat impatient now.

‘No, I don’t believe you! I don’t believe you at all! Your King here doesn’t trust in your words at all!’ The Thunder Trainer King shook his head and acted coquettishly.

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t bear with it any longer. This little brat was going off the hooks right now!

‘Do you believe me if I say that I’ll hang you up to whip if you don’t hand it over right now?’ Lin Fan was angered right now. This Thunder Trainer King was going overboard right now! To think that he would even dare to bargain with Lin Fan and flirt coquettishly! The little bald headed pervert he was, and he wanted to act bullsh*t before Yours Truly?!

As though he was scared silly by Lin Fan, that solemn and holy expression of the Thunder Trainer King disappeared immediately. Instantly, those big, round eyes welled up with tears as he suddenly broke into a bawl!

‘Boohoo!!! You’ve scared me!!! I’m never ever going to bother with you ever again!!!’ Coiling his thunder whip around his body, the Thunder Trainer King tossed a secret book over to Lin Fan before running off to his academy while twerking his bum.

‘Holy f*ck…!!!’ Lin Fan could take it no longer! To think that a little bald-headed pervert, whose only passion came from training others, would have such a side to him!

Holding on to this move that he had been coveting for a long time now, a grin curled up on Lin Fan’s lips, ‘Hmph, small time! Bargain with me? If I’m not stern with him, he’ll definitely go over my head one day!’

‘BOOHOO! YOU SUCK! I’M GOING TO HAVE TO GO TRAIN THEM UP TO SOOTHE MY HEART NOW!’ A sorrowful voice came out of those tightly shut doors of the Thunder Trainer King’s Academy of Electroconvulsive Therapy.

Lin Fan sniggered gently, disregarding him entirely.

‘Ding…Congratulations on discovering skill: ‘Bare Nudeness’. Learn?’

‘Learn.’

Lin Fan did not hesitate at all. After all, he was the only one suitable to keep such an immoral and savage skill guarded from the rest of the world. There was no way he could let this skill out loose to harm the masses.

As a highly responsible man, this was naturally the task that he had to bear.

Even though Lin Fan had learned this skill, it was still at a pretty low level, because he had never used it before. As such, it’s power level was pretty low too. However, Lin Fan believed that he could definitely glorify this skill one day with his hard work and efforts.

When he turned around to look at Fairy Hongyun, a thought ran through his head. However, he dismissed it almost immediately.

Beastly. That was way too beastly! How could he bear such immoral thoughts?

“We’ll arrive at the location in half a day’s time.” Fairy Hongyun informed him.

“Alright.” Lin Fan nodded his head. Initially, he wanted to fly even faster than this. However, this was the first time they were meeting with one another, and weren’t too familiar just yet. If he were to drag her along on a hasty flight right after meeting her, he might cause her to feel irritated, thinking that he was belittling her. Therefore, Lin Fan did not rush at all and followed her snail speed.

Half a day later…

“We’re here. It’s right ahead.” Just as Lin Fan was about to fall asleep, Fairy Hongyun’s voice rang out. He raised his head, wondering where they had flown to. However, the sight before him did leave Lin Fan somewhat bewildered.

Within the skies, which were red and blue, there existed this long and endless river that was rumbling while emitting off a strange aura.

“Eh? Back when I was here previously, it wasn’t like this! How did things change to this?” Fairy Hongyun’s brows were creased, unable to comprehend the changes before her.

Lin Fan’s face focused up slightly as he made preparations to face a battle. Since Fairy Hongyun had said that there was a change, something must have happened.

After all, secret grounds were no ordinary places. It was hard to say whether any situation was unfolding nearby.

“Hold up.” Just as Fairy Hongyun was ready to dart forth, Lin Fan held her back with a single hand. Fairy Hongyun’s hands were smooth and tender, as though there were no bones in them. However, at this moment, Lin Fan could not be bothered with such things.

Something was amiss up ahead.

“It’s the ancient race!” The moment she caught sight of what was happening, Fairy Hongyun’s face changed as she tensed up. Up in the distance, a group of ancient race beings was gathered. Entering that blurry light screen, they disappeared from the face of the world.

On the ground up ahead were many corpses lying around. There were some from the ancient race, and some from other races.

“Seems like the ancient race has discovered this secret ground too.” Lin Fan remarked.

“How could it be?” Fairy Hongyun’s face was stunned, apparently in disbelief.

After the ancient race beings entered the light screen, Lin Fan brought Fairy Hongyun with her to their intended destination from earlier on.

Evidently, a battle had broken out here. However, this battle shouldn’t have lasted for a long time. It was clear that the ancient race beings must have followed Fairy Hongyun’s sect members tightly right after they entered the place.

“Junior brothers, junior sisters…!” Looking at the corpses around her, Fairy Hongyun’s face was really pale as her heart thumped heavily.

After all, her junior brothers and junior sisters were still fine and dandy earlier on. Looking at their cold, lifeless corpses lying around, this was a really severe blow to her mentally.

“Are your sect members all here?” Lin Fan asked.

“No, my senior sisters and senior brothers are not here! This time around, there were a total of thirty of us!” Fairy Hongyun replied.

Lin Fan made a quick count. There were only six corpses here. If that were the case, the rest of them must be within that secret ground.

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s brows twitched. He could sense the aura of the ancient race from a distance.

“Let’s go in first! There are more ancient race beings arriving!” Pulling onto Fairy Hongyun, the both of them leaped into the blurry light screen and disappeared from the world as well.

Pshew! Pshew!

Suddenly, a few figures appeared right were Lin Fan was just seconds earlier.

There were three of them.

“Seems like the signal was transmitted from over here. This is a new secret ground. All those beings from the other races must have already entered within. Let us chase after them.” One of the ancient race beings commented.

They had received the signal from their fellow ancient race beings to find out about this secret ground. Therefore, they headed right here without any hesitation at all.

Soon after them, a gigantic army of ancient race beings would head over to occupy and gain control over this secret ground, so that no other beings of the thousands of races would be able to enter.

With that, those three ancient race beings entered the Fire Water Secret Grounds as well.

Right after the three of them entered, the void vibrated gently as yet another group of figures appeared. These figures were not of the ancient race, but of the other races.

“To think that this would be the secret ground that the beings of the Cloud race had been searching for.”

“Let’s go in and seek the treasures. Be it ancient race beings or those of the Cloud race, we’ll kill anyone we meet.”

Chapter 561: Treasure Trove

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

‘To think that this Fire Water Secret Grounds would exist in a dimension of its own. This Fire Water Emperor’s cultivation state must have definitely defied the heavens! He must be someone who was crazy strong!’ The moment Lin Fan pulled Fairy Hongyun with him into the secret ground, his body was torn at by the berserk energy currents surging in from the surrounding dimensional void.

Lin Fan released a counter aura around his surroundings, keeping the berserk energy currents at bay.

Fairy Hongyun wanted to unleash everything she had to keep out the energy currents. However, she realized that Lin Fan’s counter aura was already doing the job, leaving her shocked beyond words.

To think that Lin Fan would be this strong!

“Unexpected, truly. I have underestimated your powers still. This dimensional torrent could be considered to have the powers of a divine celestial level 1, True state being. Without the use of a treasure, I wouldn’t be able to defend against it at all, and would just be shred into minced meat in the blink of an eye.” Fairy Hongyun remarked.

Lin Fan smiled indifferently, not bothered with his surroundings in the least bit. Right now, his entire body was like a sharp blade cutting through this dimensional torrent.

“We’re going to cross through this area real soon now. Time to raise our awareness level.” Lin Fan warned.

“Yes.” Fairy Hongyun nodded her head. She had not expected things to turn out as such, where the ancient race beings would slaughter her fellow sect members and steal their talisman papers to gain access.

Right now, Fairy Hongyun was feeling a little worried in her heart, wondering if anything had happened to the remaining fellow sect members of hers. After all, the ancient race beings were really cruel and powerful. If her sect members were to bump into them, there was no guarantee that they could hold out against them.

Not long after, Lin Fan passed through the dimensional torrent and arrived at this new place together with Fairy Hongyun.

This world seemed like a merger of the shades of red and blue. Right before their very eyes was a gigantic ocean. One could not tell the boundaries of this ocean with just a single look. There was no hint at all towards the sort of dangers that might be awaiting them in this place.

And just as Lin Fan and Fairy Hongyun were ready to tread forth, that calm ocean suddenly raged into a frenzy, with gigantic waves forming. Suddenly, a bright flash of light pierced forth from the surface of the ocean.

“To think that there would be more beings of the thousands of races arriving. Time to kill them and snatch over their bodies!” From the deep ends of the ocean, a small, blue colored Water Spirit army gathered.

These Water Spirits were formed from the gigantic ocean. Without a definite shape, their bodies gleamed with a dark blue hue, ripples moving up and down their formless bodies.

“Be careful! These are Water Spirits!” Fairy Hongyun could not help but warn.

Lin Fan had not expected naturally borne spirits to exist within this secret ground! His spirits wavered slightly as his Sword Will burst forth, killing one of the Water Spirits instantly.

To think that these Water Spirits would possess a desolate celestial cultivation state on their own. Not only that, they were clumped together densely. Even if it were a divine celestial level 1, True state being who dropped into their midst due to carelessness, he would definitely find it tricky to deal with.

‘Ding…Congratulations on killing Water Spirit.’

‘Ding…Obtained Water Qi of the Five Elements.’

Upon hearing the notifications from the system, Lin Fan’s face changed. To think that killing these Water Spirits would help him obtain the Water of the Five Elements! This was unexpected!

Even though Demon City had evolved once by now, it was only supported by pure power as a foundation. While Lin Fan had gathered the Earth component of the Five Elements, he did not have any clues at all regarding the other Four Elements.

Therefore, the fact that he could obtain Water of the Five Elements just by killing this Water Spirit caused him to feel a little puzzled.

Even though this was just a strain of the Water Element, the Water Spirits made up for it in terms of quantity. If he were to kill all of them, he might just be able to gather enough of the Water Element.

“To think that this living being would dare to kill our comrade! Damn it! Everyone, let’s devour him and steal his body!” The Water Spirit army began to cause a frenzied ruckus, apparently angered over Lin Fan’s actions.

The waves surged up, covering the entire Heaven and Earth.

“Let us hurry up and dodge these Water Spirits. If we were to be surrounded by them, it’d be hard to break out of their offenses!” Fairy Hongyun said nervously.

Observing the army properly, Fairy Hongyun noticed that some of them were at the divine celestial level 1, True state cultivation state. In fact, there were even divine celestial level 2, Realm state Water Spirits amongst them!

If they were truly surrounded by them, they might very well be exhausted to death just fighting against them!

“No matter.” Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.

Initially, Lin Fan had wanted to make haste on entering this place. However, upon discovering that these Water Spirits possessed strains of the Water Element, he was really excited.

‘Demon City, come on out!’

The moment the big ancient demon appeared, he howled out in fury. Killing out towards these Water Spirits, he snatched away the Water Element from their very bodies.

“Damn it! How dare this living being kill our comrades as well?” One of the divine celestial level 2, Realm state Water Spirits hollered out in anger on seeing this.

He wielded a pitchfork with his arm, which shone with a deep blue hue as well. A closer look at it would reveal that it was a middle-grade dao weapon.

‘Water God Realm!’

Yelling out, a bright beam of light burst forth from the body of the Water Spirit. This light covered all of the Water Spirits, and raised their power levels in the process.

Slapping out with his palm, Lin Fan sent a boundless aura rippling out towards these Water Spirits. Under the might of this aura, the realm of that Water Spirit began to crack like a mirror, leaving deep scars all over it.

Crack.

With a grab of that gigantic hand of his, Lin Fan captured a large number of Water Spirits within his fist. Giving it a tight squish, a thick stream of Water Element dripped down from his fingertips, into the Demon City.

‘What a dense amount of Water Element! Seems like the higher the cultivation states of these Water Spirits, the stronger is their Water Element.’ Lin Fan was exhilarated right now. To think that he would meet with such an encounter.

For any other living being, the Water Element would be utterly useless, unless they could find a good way to cultivate it. However, to Lin Fan, the Water Element was something absolutely irreplaceable.

This was especially important for the Demon City. As long as he could gather a definite amount of the Water Element, he would be able to form the river of the Water Element. Once he could convert it into one of the true Five Elements, the power of Demon City would definitely rise up once more.

Looking at the way Lin Fan was slaughtering the Water Spirits, Fairy Hongyun felt her brows tighten, feeling somewhat incredulous.

To think that the divine celestial level 2, Realm state Water Spirit would be utterly defenseless towards its death! This was definitely unimaginable for Fairy Hongyun!

Even though its realm might not be the strongest of all, it was undeniable that the Water Spirit was still a true blue powerful divine celestial level 2, Realm state being!

Just what was the extent of this Lin Fan’s strength?

Fairy Hongyun did not dare to imagine any further.

“DEVOUR!”

Lin Fan hollered out as his unparalleled aura turned into a razor-sharp sword, cutting up these Water Spirits. Opening his mouth, the big ancient demon sucked in everything in one fell swoop, taking the Water Element that was formed from these Water Spirits into his stomach and cultivating while fusing it with itself.

“Everyone, run! That darned living being is devouring us!” The Water Spirits screamed out in horror. Immediately, the Water Spirit army began to disperse, as they tried escaping into the world of the ocean below.

The Water Spirits had not expected this living being to be this strong!

“Hmph, run? How can I possibly let you guys do that?”

For Lin Fan, this place was basically a treasure trove!

Chapter 562: Cultivate The Water Element River!

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

The moment the Doomsday Calamity God Fist slammed out, it covered the entire sky. In front of these innumerable and powerful Water Spirits, Lin Fan did not dare to be careless at all, as he punched out nine whole times.

Nine was the optimum number. Therefore, these nine fists represented the peak of Lin Fan’s strength.

Instantly, nine Doomsday Calamity God Spirits stood towering between the Heaven and Earth, slaughtering out towards the Water Spirits.

The Water Spirits were used to overwhelming everything with their advantage in numbers. To think that they would meet with a sicko such as Lin Fan.

“Lin Fan, just enough will do. We’ve still got to head up ahead to check things out.” Fairy Hongyun was looking at everything with a stunned expression right now. She had not expected Lin Fan to be this strong. To think that these Water Spirits were being slain like casual bugs!

Even if she were to fall into their midst by accident, she would find herself in an extremely sticky situation. In fact, if she were even slightly careless, she might very well perish right here.

“Alright.” Lin Fan did not hesitate. The Water Element within the Demon City was increasing by the minute. It was even developing towards forming a river by now. If he were to kill just that bit more, he would definitely be able to form his true Water Element river.

However, Lin Fan was pretty bewildered right now. Just what sort of an existence was this Fire Water Emperor? To think that even the entrance of his burial grounds would be protected by such Water Spirits.

Powerful being! He must be terrifyingly powerful!

And also, what sort of a race was it that could produce a powerful being such as the Fire Water Emperor. If this were the case, why didn’t the Heavenly Emperor Yuan mention anything about this?

Unless this were to mean that the Fire Water Emperor existed in an era even before that of Heavenly Emperor Yuan and the others…

At this moment, Lin Fan was just traversing around the area. Slamming out fist after fist, his infinite power made contact with this boundless ocean.

“Big ancient demon! Devour the Heaven and Earth!”

Instantly, the energy level within Lin Fan’s body surged upwards, as that everlasting power rippled through his body.

As the big ancient demon opened his gigantic mouth, a huge vortex appeared. The suction power of this vortex was crazy! It was as though it wanted to devour the entire ocean altogether!

This was practically an unfathomable image for Fairy Hongyun, who was witnessing everything before her very eyes. Just what sort of crazy power must one possess in order to back a powerful attack as such?

“Burn.”

Instantly, Lin Fan ignited all the Shengyang Pills within his storage. Turning into a long river, they flowed in the direction of the big ancient demon.

The Mythical Parasol Tree began to sprout leaves as well, as its power spread out immensely, boosting itself onto the body of the big ancient demon.

“Argh! This damned living being is trying to devour our core! Time to duke it out with him!” The Water Spirits had not expected this living being to be this powerful! To think that it would go straight at devouring the core of their river!

How could the Water Spirits tolerate something like this? If their core were to be devoured by a living being, they would have no more chance of existing at all!

Lin Fan’s gaze was cold right now. As he slammed out his fist, it turned into a continuous stream of energy and crushed the bodies of the Water Spirits, killing them immediately.

The cultivation states of these Water Spirits weren’t that high. Even after killing them, the experience points obtained were pretty limited. However, the most important thing for Lin Fan right now was to obtain the Water Element.

Boundless and endless, the vast ocean was nearly devoured to its depth by the big ancient demon. Those existing Water Spirits were howling out continuously as they were destroyed. This infinite Water Element began to find its way, fusing within the Demon City.

“Lin Fan, all of these Water Spirits are living beings. I don’t think that there’s a need to eradicate them down to the very last one.” Looking at how Lin Fan was exterminating the Water Spirits wave after wave, Fairy Hongyun commented with some sort of reluctance.

“Hongyun, even if I don’t kill them, the ancient race beings are going to kill all of them. Besides, after killing them, I can use them to raise my cultivation state. With that, I’ll possess even more power to fight against the ancient race.” Lin Fan did not stop his actions. In fact, his attacks got even faster.

Fairy Hongyun went silent upon hearing Lin Fan’s words. She could agree with Lin Fan’s logic.

Suddenly, Lin Fan caught sight of a Water Country at the depth of the ocean. This was the territory of the Water Spirits.

“Seize.”

Lin Fan was overwhelmed with joy right now. As long as he could seize the Water Country, his Water Element River was bound to succeed for sure.

The aura of the Water Element being emitted from the Water Country was 10,000… no, 100,000,000 times stronger than that being emitted from the Water Spirits themselves.

The Fire Water Secret Grounds had existed for a long time now, and so had the Water Spirits that were born here. This Water Country was a treasure that was formed by the Water Element of the Five Elements.

“Indeed, a secret ground which is yet to be discovered is a true secret ground. Even though there are risks everywhere, there are encounters along with them as well.” Lin Fan could not help but acknowledge in his heart.

They were the first batch of living beings to step foot into and explore this Fire Water Secret Ground. Even though a large number of treasures would definitely be lost after the exploration process, who knew how many more hidden treasures were in the deeper areas of the secret grounds. As such, this place would still definitely be a treasure trove for future adventurers.

This Water Country was good stuff indeed. The only reason why the sect members of Fairy Hongyun did not reap it in was because they were being chased and hunted down by the ancient race beings. Because of that, they had to disregard it, benefitting Lin Fan in the process.

With that, the big ancient demon stretched out his heaven encompassing arm and grabbed out at everything, holding the Water Country within its palms.

With a massive holler, the muscles of the big ancient demon expanded wildly. The mountains shook, and the trees withered. The moment the Water Country was uprooted by the big ancient demon, the entire ocean began to dry up.

“Damned living being! How dare he destroy our core?” The Water Spirits wailed out. However, they were thoroughly helpless, as they could only witness their core being snatched away by this big ancient demon.

At the moment the Water Country was being pulled away, they found themselves being sucked towards their Water Country helplessly as well.

“Cultivate.”

Slapping out millions of fists, Lin Fan used his energy to bolster the Demon City, causing it to sparkle with a brilliant glow.

‘Cultivate, cultivate!’

‘Connate Five Elements, Water Element River!’

Instantly, the Water Country began to melt and turn into a river of sorts. This river possessed an endless amount of energy as it dove right into the Demon City.

Vring!

Suddenly, the Demon City began to vibrate violently. Amongst the five Elements, two of them began to emit bright lights. One of them was the Earth Element river, and the other one was none other than the Water Element river.

At this moment, the Water Element river finally finished congealing, as Lin Fan felt exhilarated. Indeed, there were tons of encounters awaiting one in secret grounds!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan could feel the power level of his Demon City climbing up, turning way, way stronger than ever before.

After congealing the Water Element river, Lin Fan could feel a vast difference within his body as well. Water could flood everything in the world. As the river passed through his body, he could feel all sorts of impurities being washed away. He was cleansed by this marvelous river, as his mental state felt extremely refreshed and reached its peak level.

From this day forth, nothing evil would be able to affect him. In fact, even the impurities that were created through the process of cultivation would cease to exist from this point onwards.

Fairy Hongyun no longer had any comments to make. She was utterly flabbergasted by Lin Fan.

The sort of power he possessed was definitely defying any natural order in this world. To think that the vast ocean would be forcefully cultivated just like that!

“Alright, let’s go.” Lin Fan was extremely pleased within his heart right now. The moment he entered this place, he had already gained a large bounty. Seemed like his life’s affinity was definitely there.

I know the terms are confusing. Please bear with it. Also, I know that it was mentioned as Earth Spirit River earlier on. I swear that that’s the term the author used. He just changed it to Earth Element River at this point. Was considering Earth/Water ElementAL instead, but the full term is in fact Earth/Water of the Five Elements. Also, even his description of the river isn’t really exact and clear as well from the very beginning. As much as I love the jokes of our author, I’ve got to say that he likes throwing in terms before explaining them so… T_T

We’ll make do for now alright? Any information I get, I’ll be sure to update you guys as much as I can within the text as well. Cheers!

Chapter 563: A Squeeze of A Single Claw

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

——————–( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)————————-

“If you’re killing all of these Water Spirits to retrieve their Water Element, does it mean that your treasure is lacking the Five Elements?” Fairy Hongyun was pretty alarmed right now. To think that this person would be this strong! The amount of power that was exerted by him was definitely way beyond that of a divine celestial level 2, Realm state!

Hearing Fairy Hongyun’s question, Lin Fan did not hide anything as he nodded his head, “Yes. I’ve already gathered the Earth and Water Element of the Five Elements. I wonder if I can get to find the remaining three.”

Fairy Hongyun gave a low grunt for a moment before raising her head, “Amongst the connate Five Elements, the Fire, Water and Earth Elements are abundant and easy to discover. On the other hand, the connate Metal and Wood Elements are insanely difficult to find. However, I just happen to know of two places which possess a large amount of Metal and Wood Elements.”

“Where?” Lin Fan asked with surprise and anticipation.

Based on Lin Fan’s thoughts, if he were to be able to gather the Five Elements, Demon City would definitely be filled with an everlasting aura. With that constant energy revolving around it, Lin Fan had the confidence to push it up to the ranks of the utmost treasures.

And just as Fairy Hongyun was about to reply, something happened in the distance.

A single glance over and it was clear that a man and a woman were surrounded by a group of three ancient race beings. By the looks of it, it was evident that they weren’t going to be able to hold out much longer.

“Senior Brother Tianyun! Senior Sister Muqing!” The moment Fairy Hongyun caught sight of them, her face turned pale. Without even bothering to conceal herself, she bolted over.

The moment Lin Fan saw this, he followed tightly behind her without hesitation as well.

“Junior Sister Muqing! The three of them are exceptionally devious! We must make sure that we do not separate!” Slapping out with his fist, Tianyun was moving in circles along with their enemies.

“Got it.” Muqing was pristine and gorgeous, revealing a sunny sort of beauty. Her eyes flashed brightly as her hands were constantly moving.

“Senior Sister, Senior Brother! I’ll assist you guys!” At that moment, a crisp voice rang over.

Turning their heads over, both of them were elated, “It’s Junior Sister Hongyun!”

“This is good. With the inclusion of our junior sister, we can deal with these three ancient race beings and kill them!” The moment Tianyun caught sight of Fairy Hongyun, his face was beaming with a strange sort of glow.

“Eh? Junior sister, you aren’t alone? Who’s that man behind you?” Looking at the man who had followed behind her junior sister, Muqing’s face was a little cautious.

The moment Tianyun heard these words, he turned his head around. Instantly, he frowned in slight displeasure. However, given the pressing issue of taking down these ancient race beings, he did not pursue the matter further.

“Hehe, we’ve got two more living beings arriving.” As the three ancient race beings caught sight of Fairy Hongyun and Lin Fan, they grinned. By now, Lin Fan and Fairy Hongyun had arrived by the sides of both of them.

“Senior Sister, where are the others?” Fairy Hongyun asked.

“Just as we gathered at the entrance of the secret grounds, for some unknown reason, the ancient race beings managed to discover us! With that, all of us entered the secret grounds together and got separated due to that. I’ve got no idea where the others are right now.” Muqing replied.

Standing there, Lin Fan could sense the animosity in Tianyun’s eyes, as though he was keeping his guard up, seeming somewhat unfriendly.

However, none of that mattered to Lin Fan. If this guy did not know what was good for him and would dare to bother Lin Fan, Lin Fan would definitely teach him a lesson.

“Junior Sister Hongyun, now is not the time for that. These three ancient race beings are really powerful. We’ve got to hurry up and kill them before looking for the others. This time around, there’s a large group of ancient race beings who have entered this place. If we were to delay this till the ancient race army arrives, we would definitely have to leave our bodies here.” Tianyun chimed in.

“Hehe… Pitiful living beings, this newly discovered secret ground of yours shall witness the descent of our great ancient race army before long. By then, all of you shall have to die here!” One of the three ancient race beings jeered haughtily.

“Kill those two men. We can enjoy ourselves with the two women later on.” The other two mocked in laughter.

“Hmph, ancient race beings! Don’t you dare go overboard! Today, with me, Tianyun around, none of you shall be able to harm my junior sisters!” With that, Tianyun stepped forth as his aura rumbled fiercely. However, because he had expended way too much earlier on, his Qi was evidently weaker in comparison.

Lin Fan took a look at the three ancient race beings before him. All of them were in the True state. Weaklings!

As for the two sect members of Fairy Hongyun, both of them were in the True state as well. However, compared to the three ancient race beings, they were far weaker.

Even in the same state, there were stronger and weaker beings.

Even though Fairy Hongyun belonged in the True state as well, she was even stronger than her own senior brother and sister!

And of course, someone like Lin Fan was definitely the top of everyone else who were in the divine celestial level 2, Realm state.

“Puny living beings… Die!” With that, the auras of the three ancient race beings burst forth furiously. Compressed into a single line of force, their aura shot out at Lin Fan’s group.

Tianyun’s face focused up without faltering in the face of danger. Slapping out hundreds of palm strikes into the air, he deployed several ultimate moves.

“Junior sisters, wait till I distract their attention! By then, circle around them and kill them from the sides!” Tianyun ordered.

“Yes!” Muqing nodded her head.

Tianyun had no intention of wanting to know who this Lin Fan fella was. From the start, he was already pretty pissed off looking at this Lin Fan appearing together with his junior sister.

“All of these ancient race beings are just ants. I can kill them with the back of my palm. You guys just stay back and watch.” Deploying ‘So Near, Yet So Far’, Lin Fan appeared standing before Tianyun instantly.

“What are you trying to do? This isn’t something you can handle!” Looking at how this stranger had dared to stand before him without realizing the danger, Tianyun’s face changed. Evidently, there was a feeling of rage mixed within his emotions.

Muqing frowned as well. Even though she did not know who this man who had arrived together with her junior sister was, how could he be this careless before the ancient race beings?

“Big words!” Upon hearing the words of Lin Fan, all three of the ancient race beings bellowed out loudly. To think that this guy would dare to be so cocky at the brink of his death!

Lin Fan turned around at Tianyun and Muqing before grinning with the side of his lips and grabbing out at the void with a claw-like motion. This was a really calm, gentle claw, without any violent vibrations or tremors.

However, this one simple claw motion was enough to cause the three ancient race beings to lose every single last bit of color from their faces.

Suddenly, the three of them felt as though the entire surrounding void had been sealed up! To their horror, they couldn’t budge their bodies in the slightest bit at all!

Reaching into the void with his five fingers, Lin Fan tightened his grasp as he closed his fingers.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Instantly, three gigantic explosions reverberated through the void. As though they were squeezed by some formless power, all three ancient race beings were turned into a blood mist instantly.

‘Ding…Congratulations on killing Divine celestial level 1, True state ancient race being.’

…

The Essence Qi of the three ancient race beings was sucked in immediately by the big ancient demon as well.

“This…!” Tianyun and Muqing felt their hearts take a swoop down as they witnessed everything unfolding before their eyes. To think that the three ancient race beings, who had given them so much pressure, would be squeezed to death by this stranger! Just what sort of power should he possess in order to achieve that feat?

Fairy Hongyun smiled gently. Evidently, all of this was something that she had already expected, as she apparently did not see anything wrong with this.

When she turned around and caught the dumbfounded expressions of her two seniors, she let out a sigh. If they had caught sight of how he cleared up that entire swarm of Water Spirits earlier on, their hearts would definitely pop right out of their mouths.

Compared to that, squishing these three ancient race beings to death was nothing shocking at all.

Chapter 564: Skyrocketing Jealousy

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

“S-so strong!”

Muqing looked at Lin Fan with a stumped face. She had not expected this man, who was with her junior sister, to be this strong!

However, Tianyun wasn’t looking so good right now.

This man had one-upped him right in their very faces! Not only that, each time he caught sight of this man making casual banter with his junior sister, he would feel a pinch of displeasure.

Junior Sister Hongyun was not only beautiful, her disposition was really demure as well. Within the sect, he wasn’t the only one who had taken a liking to her. She was the apple of the eyes of many senior brothers up above as well.

Back when they were surrounded by the three ancient race beings, Tianyun was especially worked up when he realized that his Junior Sister Hongyun had arrived. If they were to go through some trying situations in this secret ground together, they might have a chance of blossoming some mutual feelings! But, by the looks of the current situation, everything had been disrupted by this random stranger!

How could Tianyun cheer up at a moment like this?

“Junior sister, this person is?” Tianyun asked with a tinge of jealousy.

“Senior brother and sister, this man right here is Lin Fan. He is the pride of the Human race. Back when I was being hunted down by the Evil Alliance, he was the one who had rescued me.” Hongyun replied.

“Evil Alliance?”

The moment Muqing and Tianyun heard the name of the organization, their entire faces froze up. At the same time, waves of respect were flooding through their eyes. Evidently, they had experienced the viciousness of the Evil Alliance for themselves as well.

“Lin Fan, the two of them are my senior brother and sister, Tianyun and Muqing.” Hongyun followed up with the introductions.

Looking at the both of them, Lin Fan smiled casually.

“Back when I entered the secret grounds together with Hongyun, there were already ancient race beings present. I’m afraid that the ancient race army would be arriving really soon.” Lin Fan continued.

“If that’s the case, we should make haste and look for the rest of them. After all, this place here is simply way too dangerous. If the ancient race army were to seal up the entrance later on, none of us would be leaving this place forever.” Muqing commented worriedly.

‘Calling her Hongyun directly, isn’t that REAL close, eh? If anyone didn’t know, they might even mistake you two for a couple.’ Looking at how Lin Fan was so used to calling out her name so casually, Tianyun’s heart was aching terribly.

However, what could he even do right now? It was evident that the other party’s strength was way beyond his. How was he going to show off his charm now?

“Junior Sister Hongyun, are you able to try and make use of your unique gift to sense the location of our elders?” Muqing asked.

“I’ll give it a try.”

Fairy Hongyun did not know whether she could sense them in this Fire Water Secret Grounds as well. However, with the way things were right now, she could only give it a shot.

Lin Fan was particularly curious towards this unique gift of Fairy Hongyun, wondering how it worked.

Suddenly, Lin Fan could sense a mysterious wave motion being emanated from the body of Fairy Hongyun. This wave motion did not seem as though it was a skill or possessed any form of consciousness within it. It was hard to describe or explain.

“I sense it, albeit blurrier than usual. They should be in that rough direction.” Fairy Hongyun’s eyes burst wide open abruptly as she remarked.

At this moment, Lin Fan frowned. A series of wave motions were being echoed out from the direction behind them. Not only that, this motion was really frequent, as though someone was treading through the void.

“The ancient race beings are coming! Let’s leave!”

Without further ado, Lin Fan flicked his robes and dragged Hongyun with him, leaping into the void immediately while bursting forth with an immense speed.

“Such speed!” Muqing’s consciousness was rattled right now. However, as she caught sight of those razor sharp energy currents of the void striking at Lin Fan’s body, she exclaimed in shock.

The faster one’s speed was while traversing through the void, the heavier the damage that would be inflicted on their bodies by the void torrents.

They had suddenly realized that the speed at which this man was dragging them through the void was impossibly fast! In fact, even their elders might not be able to match up with this speed!

If only they knew that Lin Fan was deploying his ‘So Near, Yet So Far’ while taking them through the voids with them, that fact would probably cause their eyeballs to pop right out of their sockets.

Once upon a time, there was a divine celestial level 1, True state being of the thousands of races who had tried deploying a physical body skill while traversing through the void. By the time he came out of the void, the meat was scraped off his body entirely, leaving nothing but a single set of white bones.

Therefore, if anyone wanted to travel through the void with a rocket speed, they must know of the tough requirements that their bodies were required to have.

Looking at the crazy speed of Lin Fan, Muqing couldn’t help but wonder deeply, ‘Just how mighty is the Physical Body State of this man from the Human race?’

Following the breakneck speed of Lin Fan, the deep blue void had long since disappeared.

Replacing it was a sky of bright red clouds. At the same time, the temperature was steadily rising, as though they had entered a blazing Hell.

“The Fire Water Emperor! There’s the Fire Element around here!” Hongyun remarked after checking out her surroundings.

“There are two connate Five Elements in this secret ground?” Lin Fan was startled for a moment. If that were truly the case, his entry into this place would definitely reap in big bounties for him!

No matter what it took, he definitely had to obtain this Fire Element.

“The Fire Water Emperor is a powerful being of time immemorial, who had understood the true meaning of fire and water. As such, every single breath he took would spout out both connate water and fire. Even though he had fallen eventually, the true meaning of the fire and water he had cultivated would not vanish just like that. Now that such a long time has passed, this place must definitely possess an infinite amount of connate water and fire.’

Hongyun had a broad spectrum of knowledge. Back in the sect, she would always spend her time reading through books and records intensively. The genre didn’t matter at all; she just loved reading.

Therefore, over time, the amount of knowledge accumulated in her mind has reached a terrifying state.

The more Lin Fan looked at Hongyun, the more of a liking he was taking to this girl. Bloody hell! This was just a walking encyclopedia! If he could bring her along by her side, he would definitely know everything about the Ancient Saint World in time to come!

If only he could transfer all of the knowledge within Hongyun’s mind into his own… What a wondrous thing that would be!

But of course, those were just mere thoughts.

If he were to transfer all of Hongyun’s knowledge over to himself, Hongyun would definitely turn into a bloody retard.

“Hey, guys! Take a look! Those Fire Spirits are absorbing the connate Fire Element and cultivating!” Looking down below, Muqing exclaimed.

At the moment right below them, a several hundred feet tall flaming giant was devouring the endless connate Fire Element and cultivating all sorts of skills.

Just like the Water Spirits, these Fire Spirits were connate beings who were born from the Fire Element itself.

Their cultivation speed was insanely horrific as well.

‘Treasure trove! This place is just a treasure trove!’ Looking at the sea of flames, Lin Fan was excited beyond words!

If anyone were to cultivate a fire-based skill, they could probably master it right up to its peak status in the blink of an eye within this connate Fire Element.

After all, this connate Fire Element was a priceless treasure! Born from the world itself, something like this was only available to those with affinity!

“How dare yet another living being arrive to disturb the rest of our great Fire Water Emperor! This is a crime punishable by death!” All of a sudden, the eyes of the flaming giant burst wide open as it howled out into the sky in rage. As though they had a consciousness of their own, the flames on its body began to rumble furiously, forming all sorts of strange shapes.

Out of nowhere, a massive burst of energy struck down from the void, disintegrating that flaming giant into dust instantly.

A strain of pure Fire Element fused within Lin Fan’s body instantly.

Big! Lin Fan had really struck it right big time right now!

There were indeed treasures lying around every single corner in this undiscovered secret ground!

If not for the fact that he had met with Fairy Hongyun, Lin Fan might have never ever known about this place at all! Not only that, it would probably take him forever to gather up the Five Elements!

“There’s a living being trying to kill us all! Comrades, let us band together to fight against the invader!” The moment Lin Fan killed that flaming giant, all the Fire Spirits were enraged together.

Within that sea of flames, all of the Fire Spirits gathered together in a dense patch and howled furiously. A myriad of fire-based skills burst forth into the void.

“What the hell is wrong with you? We could have passed through this place safely, but why did you have to kill that Fire Spirit because of your itchy fingers? Now that there are so many Fire Spirits, how are we supposed to get through this place?” Looking at how the Fire Spirits were retaliating against Lin Fan’s indiscriminate killing of their comrade, Tianyun was secretly gloating in his heart.

His junior sister would definitely dislike someone like this who was totally oblivious to the bigger picture!

However, something unbelievable was slowly unfolding right before his very eyes.

Chapter 565: Middle Grade Dao Weapon

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

——————–( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)————————-

“Lin Fan, hurry up and kill them, lest the ancient race catch up with us.” Even though Fairy Hongyun was gentle and benevolent by nature, she had also understood something along this journey. Even if they did not kill these Fire Spirits, the ancient race beings or evil beings of the thousands of races would kill them to raise their own strength as well.

If the enemies were to raise their power levels because of it, it would just spell trouble for the rest of them from the thousands of races, or even her own sect members as well.

“Yes.” Lin Fan looked at Hongyun, a little stunned. However, he chuckled almost immediately. What a fantastic woman this was! To think that she would be so understanding about things!

“Junior sister, y-you…you!” Tianyun did not know what to say any longer! He, for one, knew that his junior sister was kind by nature, and did not like killing at all! But watching how his junior sister was now assisting this man in massacring these Fire Spirits, he did not know how to express this indignance he was feeling in his heart at all!

“Senior brother, hurry up and help out!” Fairy Hongyun called out.

“I-I…!” At this moment, Tianyun truly wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. Not only did his junior sister not hate this man because of this issue, she had even requested for him to assist that man!

Tianyun truly did not wish to think any further.

“Hongyun, I only need your help. Your senior brother is way too weak! If he drops in their midst, he’s almost definitely going to be killed by these Fire Spirits. By then, he’ll only delay our time!” Lin Fan chimed in.

‘Holy f*ck…!’ Hearing these words was akin to having someone hammer straight on the heart for Tianyun as it thumped loudly.

This guy was evidently belittling him right in his face!

“Don’t look down on me!” Tianyun could not bear with this any further. To think that this guy would disparage him as such! If he didn’t perform some kills right now, that man would definitely take him for a weakling!

‘Demon City!’

Lin Fan took out his Demon City entirely. Now that it was fused with the Water Element river, the power level of Demon City had risen multiple folds by now.

Slamming out with his fist, the big ancient demon extinguished the flames. With that, countless Fire Spirits were converted into connate Fire Element and fused with the Demon City.

Combining their forces, Lin Fan and Hongyun were working hard at killing these Fire Spirits. Muqing did not stand by idly as she rendered her assistance as well, extinguishing multiple Fire Spirits with the sweep of her hand.

Tianyun looked over at Lin Fan, feeling extremely disgruntled right now. Crying out loud, he put in even more efforts in killing these Fire Spirits.

Looking at Tianyun who was riled up and frantically killing the Fire Spirits for him over just a single sentence, Lin Fan sniggered in his heart. Did this guy really think that he could play with Yours Truly with just that level of intellect?

However, Lin Fan really did think that Tianyun was pretty cute as well.

Seemed like all the living beings who were born in the Ancient Saint World itself were pretty cute.

If it were someone who had ascended from the Lower Worlds, they would definitely not get so worked up over a single sentence of his. After all, most of them were crafty old foxes, who would not even bat a single eyelid while tricking someone to death.

“Damned living beings! How dare you guys kill our comrades? We’ll have you dead!” At this moment, a gigantic Fire Spirit, which was almost 1,000 feet tall, howled out wildly. The flames on his body rumbled continuously, eventually blazing into an armor of flames.

ROAR!

A maddened roar shook the entire world as he wielded an endless amount of scorching connate Fire Element in his palms.

“Fire Spirit, your opponent shall be me!” Angered to the brink of insanity by Lin Fan, Tianyun yelled out angrily at the Fire Spirit. Instantly, he threw out a flurry of palm strikes.

Every single palm strike was bursting with power, endless and continuous. It was as though Tianyun was taking the Fire Spirit as Lin Fan.

If this happened normally, Tianyun would probably have to expend quite a bit of effort to take down the Fire Spirit. However, it was as though Tianyun was on steroids right now, as he slapped the Fire Spirit to death.

The moment the Fire Spirit dissipated, its connate Fire Element was absorbed by the Demon City instantly.

After he killed a big bunch of Fire Spirits, Lin Fan turned his head around gently. Looking at how Tianyun killed that 1,000 feet tall Fire Spirit, he felt his heart beat a little faster as well. Was that guy on crack right now?

But oh well, this was good as well. This would only serve to increase the rate of killing.

Lin Fan slapped his storage. Instantly, all the Shengyang Pills that he had cultivated in the time earlier were all shattered immediately.

A gigantic True Skill seed danced around in the Demon City.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of palm strikes burst forth. As though it was on crack too, Demon City began to expand rapidly as the big ancient demon grew even more berserk.

‘Roc’s Breath!’

The big ancient demon howled furiously as his eyes shone with a deadly gaze. Opening his mouth, he swallowed everything in his face.

Unable to resist it, countless Fire Spirits found themselves being sucked into the mouth of the big ancient demon.

‘What a terrifying man!’ Muqing, who had just killed a Fire Spirit, found her heart freezing up at this scene before her. This was way too horrific for her to watch!

‘Demon God Wheel! Heaven and Earth Demon Door!’

Grabbing into the void with a vice-like grip, Lin Fan tore the void open wildly. A demonic aura surrounded the entire Heaven and Earth Demon Door as it appeared through the void with a loud thud.

‘Suppress!’

Instantly, the Heaven and Earth Demon Door let out a boundless amount of Demonic Qi. One by one, figures of Demon Gods wielding weapons with all of their arms charged out. Just like the Black White Impermanence, they started grabbing the Fire Spirits and tossing them into the Demon City.

‘Emptiness Sword Will!’

Lin Fan was going all out right now as that Emptiness Sword Will filled the entire sky, tearing the void apart like it was a piece of white paper. A dense amount of tightly packed Emptiness Sword Wills pierced their way through the Fire Spirits.

Pshew! Pshew!

In the blink of an eye, there was not even a single living being left in the sea of flames.

‘Is this a man or a god?’ Looking at that mighty Lin Fan, Tianyun could not help but feel his mind shudder.

He had only killed several hundreds of them after all the painstaking efforts. To think that this man could be this terrifying to sweep all of them out with the flip of his hand!

Compared to Lin Fan, Tianyun realized that he was truly way, way too far away from him.

…

Following Lin Fan’s explosively intensive killing, Demon City shone brightly with a Yellow, Blue, and Red shade. The brilliance of these three beams of light shone through the world, piercing through the Heavens immediately.

‘Connate Fire Element, congeal!’

‘Fire Element river!’

Lin Fan hollered out as all his power surged forth as well, assisting the Demon City in cultivating the Fire Element river.

Within that sea of flames, an altar of a Fire God stood upright in the middle.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan seized at it immediately. Like Sword Wills of their own, Lin Fan’s five fingers sliced through everything. Any Fire Spirit that wanted to defend their Fire God altar were decimated instantly.

Tossing the Fire God country into his Demon City, the Fire Element river started jerking furiously. All of the Fire Spirits who had just lost their country howled out madly, leaping at the Demon City, wanting to seize back their Fire God country.

“Hmph. Throwing yourselves at death’s door. Saving me some effort, eh?”

Seeing this, Lin Fan was obviously elated. Since they wanted to toss themselves right in, he would naturally accept their deaths.

BAM!

The big ancient demon yelled out as that colossal body of his was suddenly filled with an endless amount of flames. These flames possessed a will of their own, containing an indefinite amount of power within them.

Instantly, a gigantic river descended from the sky, pouring down onto the body of the big ancient demon. However, the flames were not extinguished because of it. Instead, it began to fuse with the water, causing a frightening glow to burst forth.

‘To think that such a change would happen after congealing the connate Fire Element!’ Lin Fan was stunned on witnessing the scene before him.

“Lin Fan, your treasure is evolving! Hurry up and cultivate it!” At this moment, Fairy Hongyun’s reminder rang through.

“Alright.” Lin Fan was still in a state of astonishment. He had not expected a level up to take place.

In that instant, the connate Earth, Water and Fire Element began to coil around one another before, shrinking into a compressed ball of liquid that was only the size of a fist. The shape of the liquid ball was changing rapidly before turning into physical words.

Earth!

Water!

Fire!

These three words that were shining with a mysterious glow began to revolve around the body of the big ancient demon. Then, they flew into the Demon City. Just like brandings, they were etched in three directions.

Instantly, it was as though the power level of the big ancient demon was seated on a rocket that was bursting forth to the moon.

Desolate celestial upper level!

Desolate celestial full cultivation state!

Divine celestial level 1, True state!

‘Ding…Congratulations. Demon City has evolved into a middle-grade Dao Weapon.’

Chapter 566: Trying To Steal My Bound Equipment?

Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_

‘What a beast!’ At this moment, Lin Fan was starting to realise that his life was barely even comparable to that of a treasure.

On his own, he was taking such a long time to raise his cultivation states! However, the Demon City was skyrocketing under his own cultivation and grooming! Just as if it were riding on a rocket, there it went!

Pew!

Pew!

Just like that, it surpassed a few cultivation states!

However, Lin Fan understood as well that the bloodline of the big ancient demon played a big part in all of this as well. The big ancient demon could be considered as the one and only king of all the ancient beasts. In order for him to rise as the ruler of all the ancient beasts, his bloodline must have been something that no one could compare with.

However, the only regret right now was that the big ancient demon had fallen in the Xuanhuang World. In order to revive itself, it used its demon bloodline as a bait to deceive the strain of consciousness from Xuanhuang World’s consciousness into forming an embodiment herself.

Even though the bloodline had dispersed, the big ancient demon was the royalty of all ancient beasts. Even if his bloodline dried up entirely, he could regenerate it afresh given enough time. Therefore, everything that Lin Fan was doing right now was to regenerate the bloodline of the big ancient demon, so that he could regain his past glory as that unparalleled powerful being who had ruled over all ancient times.

When that time came, Lin Fan would pull the Ancient One into this world as well. With that, he would definitely have the confidence of going into a bloodbath against the eight utmost beings of the ancient race.

‘It’s a Dao Weapon!’

Tianyun could not hide his envious gaze towards Demon City, which was floating in the sky.

For all the living beings of the thousands of races in the Ancient Saint World, a single Dao Weapon was something that was extremely difficult to obtain. In fact, some of them may not even possess a single one in their entire lives.

Even though the Cloud Sect had was grand and strong, if one wanted a single Dao Weapon, they would have to pay a large price for it. In fact, that price might even be a lifetime of poverty.

“This Dao Weapon is indeed of the highest calibre! Even a top tier Weaponsmith may not be able to craft out something like this!” Looking at the Demon City, Hongyun gasped.

“Hongyun, you’ve got some knowledge about weapon crafting as well?” Lin Fan asked smilingly.

“Yepp! I learned a little about the ways of weapon crafting from a Weaponsmith within our sect.” Hongyun replied.

“Weaponsmith?” The moment Lin Fan heard this, he was a little stunned. Wasn’t it said that the beings of the thousands of races couldn’t craft weapons of their own? How would there be Weaponsmiths then?

With this, Lin Fan was somewhat confused.

Hongyun gave off a mysterious smile, “Actually, it’s true that the beings of the thousands of races out there aren’t able to craft weapons on their own. However, our sect has managed to capture an ancient race being who knew how to craft weapons. Using a mysterious controlling technique, we had managed to keep him in the sect for the sole purpose of crafting weapons for us.”

Lin Fan nodded his head, feeling a little astonished in his heart. Indeed, the beings of the thousands of races possessed an incredible amount of wisdom in their actions. Since they could not craft weapons on their own, they would then kidnap ancient race beings who could. With that, they could tamper with their heads and brainwash them into crafting weapons for the sects.

At the same time, Lin Fan was filled with a deep curiosity towards this controlling technique. However, didn’t this technique seem somewhat vile? It was definitely inferior compared to that Thunder Trainer King of his. Way too inferior.

“Brother Tianyun, my gratitude for your kind assistance in killing those Fire Spirits earlier on. Evidently, those Fire Spirits are far from your match once you showcase your explosive strength!” Clapping Tianyun on the back of shoulders, Lin Fan chuckled.

Tianyun snorted coldly and rolled his eyes back. It was as though he was implying, ‘Did you see that? How dare you insinuate me as a burden?’

“HAHA! To think that these little kiddos would possess a Dao Weapon as well! Seems like the Heavens are blessing this old man here!” Just then, a dark and sinister voice boomed out from the void. Suddenly, a blood red titanic arm reached out through the void and grabbed at Demon City.

“Lin Fan, hurry up and retrieve your Dao Weapon! It’s the Infinite Bat Old Master!” The moment Hongyun caught sight of this blood red arm, her face froze up immediately.

Through the frantic gaze of Fairy Hongyun’s eyes, one could tell of her fear towards this Infinite Bat Old Master.

“Oho! To think that a young little brat would know of my mighty name, the great Infinite Bat Old Master! Not bad, not bad! Once I’m done reaping in this Dao Weapon, I’ll definitely take note to have a good taste of your little bratty blood!” This sinister voice permeated through the void, such that one couldn’t predict its direction at all.

As for that gigantic blood red arm, all five fingers were extremely thick and rough. On the fingertips were long, thin, and razor sharp nails. It was as if anyone who was scratched by these blade like nails would find themselves ripped into shreds instantly.

“Infinite Bat Old Master?” The moment Tianyun and Muqing heard the name, they shuddered momentarily. It seemed as though they had just recalled something utterly horrifying.

“Bloody braindead f*ck! Steal my Dao Weapon? I can even GIVE it to you, that’s if you can lift it up!” Lin Fan did not know what sort of a being this Infinite Bat Old Master was. However, since he wanted the Dao Weapon of Yours Truly, then Yours Truly shall give it to him!

“What are you trying to do?” Fairy Hongyun’s expression was changing, unable to comprehend Lin Fan’s actions at all.

“HAHA! Not bad, not bad! On account that you’re willing to hand over your Dao Weapon obediently, this Old Master right here shall ensure that you have a quick and painless death later on!” Evidently, Infinite Bat Old Master had not expected this fella to hand over his Dao Weapon just like that, and was elated right now.

This was a Dao Weapon! A Dao Weapon was something that everyone in this world would lust over!

However, the moment that gigantic blood red arm of the Infinite Bat Old Master reached out to grab at the Demon City, something horrifying happened.

That blood red arm which was dragging the Demon City was suddenly pushed downwards and was torn apart continuously. It was as though something was pressing down on it!

It seemed like the Demon City possessed the strength of a stampede of bulls, entirely unstoppable!

“How could this be…?” The Infinite Bat Old Master yelled out in shock. He could not believe that this gigantic blood arm of his, which had helped him reign over the world, couldn’t take down a single Dao Weapon!

Lin Fan laughed coldly. Anything that was crafted out from the system belonged to him and him only. If anyone else tried getting their hands on it, they would definitely never ever succeed.

This could all be summarized into a single saying: ‘How dare you try to snatch a bound weapon! Are you bloody mentally handicapped?’

Screech! Screech!

In a split second, this gigantic blood red arm transformed into a multitude of blood coloured bats. These bats were pretty large, extending up to dozens of feet in size the moment they spread their wings.

With these many blood coloured bats lining the void, every single last inch of the sky was covered entirely.

“This is an old demon who had ascended up from the Bat world! He is vicious in his methods and specializes in sucking one’s essence blood in order to raise his own cultivation state! He is pretty notorious within the Ancient Saint World as well!” Fairy Hongyun explained nervously.

“This Infinite Bat Old Master is a tricky old devil to deal with, akin to fighting against an immortal being! As long as the Blood Bats exist, he would be able to reincarnate indefinitely. A long time ago, our sect exchanged blows with him as well. However, he managed to escape even after he was surrounded by our elders! This guy is really full of tricks!”

“Hmph! Even though I do not know what sort of secret technique you’re using, if you dare to hurt my Blood Bats, this old man here would definitely suck your blood dry!” Instantly, the void rippled as a stark red figure stood upright in the sky.

This figure had a head of long, blood coloured hair, with bloody eyes. His face was frightfully pale with extremely sharp teeth, looking every single bit like a demon.

At this moment, the Infinite Bat Old Master was holding on to three ancient race beings. Immediately, he tossed all of them over to his Blood Bats.

Screech! Screech!

All of the bats swarmed over and covered the bodies of the three ancient race beings instantly. By the time the bats were done with them and left, there was nothing left but three dried up corpses of ancient race beings, without a single trace of blood from head to toe.

At the same time, the Blood Bats were filled with a luscious and sinister glow after sucking the fresh blood of the ancient race beings.

Noticing the cultivation state of the Infinite Bat Old Master, Lin Fan frowned. Things were going to get sticky.

‘Divine celestial level 3, Paradise state.’

This was the first time he was meeting someone who could transform an entire realm into a state of paradise!

‘Time to run!’

Lin Fan did not wish to take the risk. This was especially the case given that he had a bunch of burdens with him. In fact, Tianyun and Muqing were already frozen solid just by the name of the Infinite Bat Old Master itself.

After all, it was a well known fact that anyone who was caught in the hands of the Infinite Bat Old Master would definitely suffer an extremely terrible death.
