The Strongest System - Chapter 567
Chapter 567: Today, I’ll Take You On!
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
——————–( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)————————-
Infinite Bat Old Master was pretty taken aback right now. To think that he couldn’t take down that Dao Weapon! This was way too unimaginable! Given his current cultivation state, even if it were an entire mountain, he would be able to lift it up with a single claw-like grab!
He was absolutely determined to get this Dao Weapon. He wouldn’t give up just like this.
A Dao Weapon was something that was extremely hard to come across. Even after all his time in the Ancient Saint World, he hadn’t seized even a single Dao Weapon from anyone till now.
“Lad, even though this old man here doesn’t know what sort of secret tricks you’ve been using, I’ll have you know that anything this old man takes an eye on, he shall get it for sure. If you do not wish for your death to be worse than it should be, you should surrender now and hand over that Dao Weapon of mine obediently.”
Infinite Bat Old Master looked at Lin Fan and the others with a look of belittlement. That swarm of huge Blood Bats flapped their wings open while screeching.
Their bloodthirsty look caused Tianyun and the others to rattle within their hearts, unable to hide the look of fear on their faces.
Even though the Infinite Bat Old Master wasn’t exactly an earthshattering existence, his methods were extremely cruel and vicious. In fact, even a powerful being who was of a higher cultivation state than the Infinite Bat Old Master might find himself dead against him in a moment of carelessness. With that, every single last drop of blood of his would be sucked dry, while his essence and soul would disintegrate entirely.
One must never underestimate this old man at all.
At the same time, Tianyun and the others were utterly exasperated. If it were any other powerful being of the Paradise state, they might even have a chance of escaping. But, to think that the one they would bump into is a sicko like the Infinite Bat Old Master.
At this moment, Tianyun and Muqing turned their gazes over to Lin Fan. It seemed like Lin Fan was the pillar of support in their hearts right now, as they entrusted every single last bit of hope onto him.
“Infinite Bat Old Master?” Taking a step forward, a ferocious aura burst forth from Lin Fan, suppressing every single Blood Bat in the vicinity. Even though these Blood Bats did not have a high cultivation state, they had their advantage in terms of numbers.
“That’s right. That’s this old man right here. Lad, hand over that Dao Weapon, and this old man might be able to find that little bit of benevolence in his heart to spare the lives of you peasants.” Infinite Bat Old Master replied.
That edged nose of his gave a gentle sniff, able to sense the core of every single last living being in this world.
“Even though I’ve got to say that the Human bloodline that’s rumbling inside you with such vivacious energy will make for a lovely delicacy. This old man here would rear a living being such as yourself within my Paradise. Every single day, I would suck out a little bit of your blood, ensuring that you live a lifetime of utter torment. However, if you were to hand over that Dao Weapon in your hands, this old man here can vouch that your life will not come to harm.” Right now, the Infinite Bat Old Master’s mind was on getting his hands on that Dao Weapon entirely.
The reason why he had followed the Cloud Sect into this secret ground was to get a good reaping of course. To think that he would bump into a few disciples who had been isolated.
And, to think that one of them even had a Dao Weapon! For the Infinite Bat Old Master, this was a sign of his own lucky encounters coming into play.
The Cloud Sect was a force to behold. In fact, they were a sect that could even hold their own against the ancient race somewhat in the Ancient Saint World.
Within the sect, there were tons of powerful beings to be found from all sorts of different races. Every single genius of every race out there was recruited in by the Cloud Sect.
Because of this, even the Infinite Bat Old Master was taking his steps warily, not daring to go head on against the Cloud Sect just like that.
In the past, he had once sucked a disciple of the Cloud Sect dry. For that, he was hunted down by several elders of the Cloud Sect for a couple of days. Eventually, he was killed by one of the elders with just a single move. If not for the fact that one of his Blood Bats had barely managed to escape death and survive somewhere, he would have long disappeared from this world entirely.
“Even though you can swear that you wouldn’t kill us, you’d definitely use your Blood Bats to just suck our essence and soul dry entirely. Do you take us for three-year-old fools?” Lin Fan scoffed coldly.
“Hmph! I gave you guys a path to life. Since you guys do not know how to cherish it, this old man here shall take every single one of your lives before seizing this Dao Weapon for myself!” At this moment, the Infinite Bat Old Master was angered. A tremendous aura emanated out from his body. It gushed over like fierce tidal waves, bent on swallowing Lin Fan whole.
“I’ll cover while you guys make your escape! I’ll look for you guys again once I get rid of this Infinite Bat Old Master!” At this moment, Lin Fan wasn’t fazed in the slightest as he slammed a punch out behind him.
This single punch was boundless and devastating. Carrying with it Lin Fan’s comprehension of the way of the fist, a figure of a Fist God appeared, howling angrily. In a flash, tens of millions of punches rained down, scattering all the Blood Bats that were blocking their way previously.
“Take care of yourself!” Fairy Hongyun understood that they couldn’t possibly provide Lin Fan with any help given their current power level. In fact, they might even end up as burdens.
“Don’t worry. These stinky bats are far from what it takes to kill me.” Lin Fan replied.
Looking at Lin Fan one last time, Tianyun cusped his fists together.
Turning into a streak of light, the three of them left the place.
The Infinite Bat Old Master did not stop them at all. After all, his target was Lin Fan. As long as Lin Fan was alive, it didn’t matter whether or not those ants got to leave.
Fairy Hongyun and the others traveled at a really fast speed. In a jiffy, they were out of the vicinity of Infinite Bat Old Master’s Blood Bats.
“Junior sister, do you think he’ll be alright?” Tianyun asked, slightly worried.
“I’ve got no idea, but I doubt anything will happen to him.” Fairy Hongyun couldn’t reply with utmost confidence. “Let us hurry up and seek out our elders and the others. If we can make it in time, we might even be able to return to help him with reinforcements.”
“I guess that’s the only way right now.”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan was in a standoff against the Infinite Bat Old Master. To the Infinite Bat Old Master, this fella was already a piece of meat on the chopping board, readily available for grilling.
“Lad, not bad! Knowing that you can’t defeat me, you sent them on their way away first. But, don’t worry! Once this old man here is done with you, they wouldn’t be able to escape from my hands either.” The Infinite Bat Old Master laughed coldly.
“Huh? What’s up with all the crap you’re spouting? Yours Truly is here to test out just how capable that Paradise of yours is!” Lin Fan tossed his robes back, filled with a splendid fighting intent. It was time for him to test out just how far off he was from a divine celestial level 3, Paradise state being!
“Know your place, hmph! Bat God’s Nest!”
Suddenly, the Infinite Bat Old Master struck out with a fist. With that, a series of blood colored circles rippled out, with his fist as the core.
“Enjoy your lifetime of suffering in this old man’s Paradise! That Dao Weapon of yours shall be taken by this old man here for sure!” The Infinite Bat Old Master looked at that precious Dao Weapon lustfully.
The aura being emanated from the Demon City was causing the Infinite Bat Old Master to feel exceptionally excited. This was especially the case for that thick, aromatic scent of the bloodline of that weapon spirit. Infinite Bat Old Master could truly feel that if he were to be able to absorb even a little of that fresh blood, he would definitely be able to raise his Paradise to the next level.
Those blood colored ripples expanded rapidly, and before Lin Fan knew it, he was encompassed within them. His surroundings were no longer bright, but stained blood red.
Everything above him was blood red while pulsating continuously, as though it was a living piece of meat above him.
However, Lin Fan knew clearly that those were the Blood Bats. This was the Infinite Bat Old Master’s Paradise.
No matter the sort of living being it was, as long as they were trapped within this Paradise, they would definitely find themselves sucked into a dried up corpse by these Blood Bats.
Lin Fan’s favorite activity was to chop up monsters that were above his level. However, ever since he had become a divine celestial, he was starting to realize that every single state was a world of difference.
If he wanted to kill monsters that were above his level like before, that would be way too difficult.
However, one thing Lin Fan loved to do was to turn the impossible into a possible. So what if this was a divine celestial level 3, Paradise state being? He wanted to use these very hands of his, along with the booster of the system of course, to suppress down every single last thing, and change every single impossible event into one that could happen.
After all, he was someone who possessed a myriad of unparalleled skills that were leveled up and evolved, coupled with countless mythical items which possessed BUG like effects.
This day here, he would go forth and have a good battle with this so-called divine celestial level 3, Paradise state powerful being!

Chapter 568: Forcing Me To Release My Big Move!
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
“Infinite Bat Old Master, your acts of killing and snatching treasures from other people had nothing to do with me initially. However, to think that you would have the audacity to try and snatch MY treasure? We’ll just have to see if you’ve got the capabilities then!” Lin Fan’s body jerked a little as all his True Skill seeds revolved around him in a circular motion.
The figure of Skill Spirits stood above every single one of the True Skill seeds.
These Skill Spirits were born from the skills themselves. In a single motion, lightning flashed and the winds howled, destroying everything nearby.
Suddenly, Lin Fan struck out with a flurry of fist strikes, turning them into a torrent of skills. The torrent consisted of the comprehension, wisdom, and truth of every single one of Lin Fan’s skills.
In fact, it even possessed many unknown truths of martial arts in itself.
“Huh? To think that a Human such as yourself could possess capabilities as such.” The moment this man from the Human race struck with that formidable aura, Infinite Bat Old Master could feel slight tremors in his own Paradise.
At this moment, Lin Fan did not hold back at all. Combining his mental self and his spirit, he entered the ultimate state of martial arts. Every single fist, every single slap, every single Sword Will of his, each and every one of these raised his essence and soul to his peak status.
‘Heaven Devouring Bat God!’
With a shrill cry, the Infinite Bat Old Master’s body burst forth with a beam of red light. The moment this beam burst forth, all of the Blood Bats within the Paradise were attracted over to it instantly.
Screech! Screech!
That infinite amount of Blood Bats started gathering together.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Blood Bats began to self-destruct one by one, turning into a thick Blood Mist. However, the mist possessed some sort of consciousness within itself, merging together continuously. From within this mist came the repeated screeches of the Blood Bats.
Finally, a gigantic King of Blood Bats, that was around tens of thousands of feet tall, floated gently at the top of the Paradise.
This was the Bat God. Wielding a pair of bloodshot eyes, it glared at Lin Fan intently. That gigantic malevolent mouth of it looked ready to devour the entire world.
Flapping its huge wings, a hurricane whirled towards Lin Fan instantly.
“Hmph. Seems like your cultivation state is only that of a divine celestial level 2, Realm state being. How dare you pit yourself against this old man here with that sort of power? Today, this old master here shall make use of your fresh blood as tribute to the Bat God!” The moment the Infinite Bat Old Master struck out at Lin Fan, he had already discovered Lin Fan’s cultivation state.
Divine celestial level 2… Even though he was rather strong, he was still far off compared to the Infinite Bat Old Master himself. While this Blood God Nest wasn’t a perfectly crafted Paradise just yet, it wasn’t something that a mere ant from the Realm state could break through.
However, the Infinite Bat Old Master was suddenly stumped by something.
The moment the Bat God within his Paradise made contact with that skill torrent of this Human, it began to screech out in anguish.
“How could this be?” The Infinite Bat Old Master roared in shock, evidently unable to believe everything before his very eyes right now.
At this moment, Lin Fan entered a realm of his battle intent that could only be described as being more mysterious than mysterious. He couldn’t be bothered with anything before his eyes at all. Slapping out hundreds of palms into the void, the Demon City swiveled and danced in the air while the big ancient demon howled repeatedly.
A titanic arm grabbed out in the direction of the Bat God.
“Even though this Bat God is just a culmination of the innumerable Blood Bats, it possesses a significant amount of power, given that it has already absorbed the blood of many powerful beings!”
The big ancient demon howled out wildly. Suddenly, as though the big ancient demon had awakened a gift within himself, a myriad of skills that Lin Fan had never known about were unleashed by it, repressing the Bat God.
“Damn it! There’s only the old man here who’s allowed to devour others! There has been no one else who could turn the tables on me!” Noticing that the big ancient demon was trying to swallow up his Paradise, the Infinite Bat Old Master cried out in anger.
“Ancestors! Bestow upon me the powers to call upon the descent of darkness into this world! Black Heavens Bat Kings!” In that instant, the Infinite Bat Old Master squeezed 100,000 Shengyang Pills to explosion as he sprayed out a mouthful of essence blood into the sky, scattering it around the Paradise.
Absorbing this mysterious energy, the Blood Bats screeched wildly as they started changing as well.
“B*stard! You’ve completely riled up this old man over here! Right now, even if I have to exhaust the essence blood of my core, I shall have you killed right here!” The Infinite Bat Old Master had not expected this Human to be so hard to deal with! At the same time, the Infinite Bat Old Master was getting even thirstier towards the Dao Weapon. In his eyes, this Dao Weapon was simply way too strong!
“Smelly bat! I’ll just have to see how many mouthfuls of essence blood you can spit out! I’m only afraid that you won’t have enough essence blood to finish up!” Lin Fan mocked with a cold laughter while maintaining his hand motions.
These Blood Bats seemed to have undergone some sort of metamorphosis, as they grew ever larger than before. The violent nature within them seemed to be turning ever more berserk.
Those originally blood red bodies of theirs turned jet black, glimmering with a ghastly glow. At the same time, their bodies were lined with some sort of dense scales. These scales seemed like pores of some demonic being, emitting that eerie gleam all over them.
The Bat God, which was initially on the losing end, turned the tables instantly. Flipping his body over, he was now the one suppressing the big ancient demon.
“Master, give me 5,000,000 Shengyang Pills! With that, I can crush this smelly bat to death with ease!” The big ancient demon bellowed.
“Give your mother…!” At this point, Lin Fan was somewhat speechless. Now that he was entirely broke, this big ancient demon was demanding yet another 5,000,000? He didn’t even have 500,000 to begin with!
‘Flying Heavens!’
In a flash, Lin Fan’s body moved as he released the Flying Heavens. Within it, the Marquis of Despair and Long Xuan dived right into the void, tunneling through it continuously. In the blink of an eye, a bright flash shone while they burst out of it, piercing through the Black Heavens Bat Kings one time after another.
However, the Black Heavens Bat Kings were packed together densely. Killing all of them just like that was impossible!
However, the moment the Infinite Bat Old Master caught sight of Flying Heavens, he cried out with a loss of control over himself, “To think that there’s yet another Dao Weapon! How could a mere human such as yourself possess such riches?”
“HAHA! The Heavens are blessing me, the Infinite Bat Old Master indeed! To think that this would be the day of reaping for the Infinite Bat Old Master!” The Infinite Bat Old Master laughed out maniacally. His eyes were practically filled with cravings right now.
In the eyes of the Infinite Bat Old Master, Lin Fan was just a man with tons of treasures, but didn’t have the befitting power that he should have.
“Xiguang! There’s too many of these Black Heavens Bat Kings! We’ve got to think of a way to kill that Bat God!”
“Master is simply way too poor! To think that he doesn’t have any Shengyang Pills with him at all! If there were some Shengyang Pills available, I could definitely pierce through this Paradise!”
‘Realm of Hope!’
Within the Flying Heavens, the Marquis of Despair Xiguang and Long Xuan were leading a life of utmost bliss that anyone would envy. Due to that, the Power of Despair was now converted into the Power of Hope.
At that moment, the Flying Heavens emitted a boundless white flash. Like a sharp blade, this white flash pierced itself through the Black Heavens Bat Kings.
Screech! Screech!
The Black Heavens Bat Kings were screeching in pain, as though this aura was extremely repugnant to them.
“Unexpected! To think that this is a Weapon Spirit who had even comprehended the Realm state! Just what sort of an ancient race being was it who had crafted a weapon such as this? This is beyond one’s imaginations!” The Infinite Bat Old Master could not believe everything before his eyes right now. He could feel his mental spirit rattling at this moment.
Shocking. This was way too shocking! It would be hard for anyone to swallow such facts!
By now, Lin Fan was pretty displeased with the Infinite Bat Old Master. That old man was just floating around in the sky without striking out at all! All he did was to control these bats to attack left and right. It was as though he was trying to expend all of Lin Fan’s energy before coming in for the final blow.
However, this Paradise of the Infinite Bat Old Master was simply way too cumbersome to deal with.
It was as though the Black Heavens Bat Kings were infinite in number! Even after killing them, these Black Heavens Bat Kings were just respawning everywhere!
If he couldn’t come up with a plan to wipe out all of them, he might truly be exhausted to no ends.
“Damn it! You’re really forcing me to release my big move!” Lin Fan’s eyes sparkled.
He couldn’t take this anymore.
‘Since this was the case, so be it then!’
‘Yours Truly shall take the time to have some fun with you!’
Chapter 569: The War Between A Man And Bat That’s Intolerable To Witness
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
‘Punch of Biggra!’
“Master! At a critical moment as such, obviously, I’m the most reliable one you can depend on!”
The moment Lin Fan unleashed his Realm, a teenager draped in red dashed out. Looking shiftier and dodgier than any other thing in this world, every single bounce of his steps emitted a thick, white mist.
Lin Fan was thoroughly exasperated with these Skill Spirits by now. Each and every one of them was cockier than the other.
Being able to turn Biggra into a skill and infusing it into a realm thereafter wasn’t something that Lin Fan had planned out for from the start.
However, by the looks of it, all of these were the system’s credit. After all, the system possessed this function called ‘Fusion’. Even though Lin Fan had rarely used it in the past, he realized that it’s potential was fully unleashed by the time he had cultivated out his Realm thoroughly.
“Master is deploying Biggra now! It’s time for us to run!” Flying Heavens pierced through all the Black Heavens Bat Kings in the sky. However, the moment they caught sight of that white mist permeating through the Paradise, Xiguang and Long Xuan both shouted out in panic.
It was as though they were encountering something utterly horrifying, as they disappeared from the Paradise instantly, reappearing by Lin Fan’s side.
“Master, please don’t cause any accidental injuries!” The big ancient demon was tied in a locked struggle with the Bat God right now and didn’t pay much attention to the mist.
Looking at the thickening mist, the Infinite Bat Old Master was filled with confusion as well, wondering just what in the world that was.
“Black Heavens Bat Kings, devour that mist!” Now that victory was seemingly right before his very eyes, the Infinite Bat Old Master did not wish for any mishaps to happen.
Even though he did not know what the mist was, the Black Heavens Bat Kings were able to suck in everything within this world and turn them into nutrients for themselves.
Screech! Screech!
The densely packed Black Heavens Bat Kings pounced over at this sky encompassing thick mist before gulping it in mouthful after mouthful, without a single bit of hesitation.
The Spirit of Biggra was dumbfounded at the sight of these smelly bats taking in the Biggra so happily. It was as though he had never once expected that any living being would take in Biggra so willingly on their own!
Looking at the gradually diminishing mist, the Infinite Bat Old Master laughed wildly.
“HAHA! What other moves have you got? Lay them all out! This old man here had only intended to get his hands on the Dao Weapon at first! But by the looks of things right now, it seems like I’ve got to suck your mind dry and get hold of all of your knowledge! Even though your skills aren’t anything much, I’ve got to admit that they’re pretty interesting!” The Infinite Bat Old Master laughed out sinisterly.
However, in that instant, the Infinite Bat Old Master’s laughter suddenly stopped as though someone was choking his neck.
That grim and sinister face was beginning to flush bright red.
“YOU…!” The Infinite Bat Old Master’s gaze shone with fear as he stumbled backward, glaring at Lin Fan in utter shock.
“What the f*ck’s going on here? Don’t tell me that this guy’s affected by the Black Heavens Bat Kings sucking in the Biggra?” Looking at the state the Infinite Bat Old Master was in right now, Lin Fan was puzzled.
But soon enough, Lin Fan understood. Naturally, all the essence and souls that the Black Heavens Bat Kings sucked in would definitely be transferred over to the Infinite Bat Old Master.
Now that these Black Heavens Bat Kings were lapping up the Biggra for free, the end result would be the transfer of Biggra to the Infinite Bat Old Master.
Biggra was a mystical godly object. No matter how strong one was, as long as one was to take it in, he or she would definitely know of a world worse than death.
Screech! Screech!
Suddenly, the Black Heavens Bat Kings began to cry out as well. Eventually, they were diving at Lin Fan in swarms. However, at this moment, they were shaking left and right as though they were drunk. The red light in their eyes shone more brilliantly than ever before.
Thud! Thud!
The fluttering of their wings was in a thorough state of confusion right now! However, the next thing that happened was absolutely astonishing for Lin Fan.
These Black Heavens Bat Kings began to turn around and look at one another. These beings of the same breed that they had never ever bothered about in the past were looking ever so alluring right now.
“Holy f*ck! This is utterly savage!” Turning his head around, Lin Fan’s face was totally helpless. This was simply way too beastly! How could they commit such an audacity?
At this moment, the Bat God, which was suppressing down the big ancient demon, was going berserk as well. The big ancient demon shuddered for a moment. He had realized that the eyes of the Bat God were set ablaze suddenly, as though it had suddenly discovered something amazing!
“Big ancient demon! Hurry up and return or you’ll be in big trouble!” Lin Fan shouted out to the big ancient demon.
The big ancient demon looked at Lin Fan, then at the Bat God. Without any hesitation, he retreated back into the Demon City immediately.
The moment the big ancient demon withdrew into the Demon City, the Bat God pounced on it as though it was ready to duke out a full 300 rounds with him.
Sweeping his robes, Lin Fan kept the Demon City in immediately. If the big ancient demon were to be attacked by the Bat God, he might end up losing his will to live. He might feel as though his body wasn’t pure anymore if he were to be tainted by a bat.
The moment the Demon City disappeared, the Bat God turned his gaze to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan felt his heart jerk for a moment. Something felt amiss.
‘Stealth.’
Lin Fan knew that he must never exchange blows with anyone who had consumed Biggra. After all, any living being would definitely turn extremely shameless after taking in Biggra. One must definitely not look at them like normal beings.
“Argh! B*stard! What in the world is this mist?” The Infinite Bat Old Master hollered. Within his heart, an unknown energy was rumbling furiously, as though it was bent on taking over his consciousness.
At this moment, Lin Fan, who had entered Stealth mode, remained entirely motionless and mute as he floated gently in the Paradise.
The Infinite Bat Old Master was howling in a frenzy. Just as he was sensing the fact that he was about to lose all control to that unknown energy, he realized that the Black Heaven King Bats and the Bat God had him surrounded.
All of these bloodshot eyes were fixated on the Infinite Bat Old Master.
Within these eyes, the Infinite Bat Old Master could make out an endless amount of excitement. Adding on to his horror, he could make out something black and thick standing upright in the middle of the legs of the Black Heavens King Bats. They were like mountain peaks, standing extremely sturdy.
“YOU…! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO DO?” The Infinite Bat Old Master felt his anus tightening up as a feeling of dread filled his heart.
Screech! Screech!
The reply that the Infinite Bat Old Master got was a series of wild screeches coming from those Black Heavens King Bats that lined the entire sky. In their eyes, the Infinite Bat Old Master was their favorite being in the entire world right now.
“BAT GOD’S NEST! INFINITE BATS! DISAPPEAR…”
Before the Infinite Bat Old Master could finish his sentence, he was drowned by all those Black Heavens King Bats. As for the Bat God, he was just focusing on the bottoms of the Infinite Bat Old Master. But of course, one should wonder what this bottom was referring to.
Tragic cries were mixed with the screeches…
What followed closely was appearance of the Infinite Bat Old Master, who was entirely disoriented by the Biggra by now. The powers that were bursting forth from him right now were wilder than when he was trying to suppress Lin Fan, way, way stronger.
With that ginormous hand, he caught hold of the Bat God. His red robes fluttered through the sky as his long hair danced as well.
This cruel war between Man and Bat had begun.
The Paradise vibrated violently while a rain of blood was sprayed over the entire place.
Lin Fan could not even bear to turn his head over.
‘This is a spectacle way too horrible to endure.’ This massive war had gone way beyond Lin Fan’s imagination.
The Spirit of Biggra crossed his arms and hugged both of his shoulders, smiling sheepishly. At this moment, it was as though he was completely satisfied with his doings.
As for Xiguang and Long Xuan, they were just staring with their jaws agape in utter shock.
‘Completely inhumane…’

HAHAHA. Well, I just want to see the end outcome of the Infinite Bat Old Master by now huehue. Cheers!
Chapter 570: The Indignance Of The Infinite Bat Old Master’s Death
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
the Sovereign King WeiLin Fan had not expected things to turn out this way either. After all, how could such a savage scene exist within the confines of this world? This was an utter disgrace to public morals!
However, this was a pretty pleasing scene for Lin Fan nevertheless.
After all, the Infinite Bat Old Master was a divine celestial level 3, Paradise state being, whose powers were above him by quite a fair amount. However, all of that difference in strength was established within that Paradise of his.
The Infinite Bat Old Master could be considered as an emperor who possessed a vast amount of land under his name. However, he did not have any soldiers of his own. On the contrary, Lin Fan was someone without that same amount of land, but with countless of soldiers under him.
This was an intrinsic difference.
If Lin Fan were to cultivate out his Paradise state, he would be able to take down beings like the Infinite Bat Old Master with the back of his palms.
With that being said, now that the power that was unleashed by Biggra had already desecrated the assaults of the Infinite Bat Old Master, the remaining task was extremely simple for Lin Fan.
However, the sheer number of densely packed Black Heavens Bat Kings were still a tricky thing to deal with. After all, if he didn’t kill all of them entirely, he might attract some of their flak onto him.
These Black Heavens Bat Kings had already lost their mind under the influence of Biggra. The only thing in their heads right now was finding living beings to penetrate.
If Hongyun and the others were to catch sight of the Infinite Bat Old Master’s state right now, their eyeballs would definitely pop right out of their sockets.
That terrifying and frightening Infinite Bat Old Master was such a savage being. So savage that he wouldn’t even let bats off!
Lin Fan’s initial plan was to use the Flying Heavens to penetrate through the Infinite Bat Old Master while he was distracted. However, looking at the current pitiable expressions given off by Xiguang and Long Xuan, Lin Fan could only sigh helplessly.
Seemed like such a twisted scene could cause even Weapon Spirits to feel fear.
However, Lin Fan suddenly recalled the words of Fairy Hongyun. This Infinite Bat Old Master was extremely difficult to kill. He wondered what sort of difficulty level that would be.
‘True Origins Crushing Kick!’
Stretching out his leg, the entire void trembled as his True Skill seed churned. If he had to use his hands to take down this crazy amount of Black Heavens Bat Kings, he wouldn’t even know how long it would take to finish through them.
Instantly, the Paradise began to vibrate immensely, as those legs which were filled with true origins slammed out towards the Black Heavens Bat Kings.
“DAMNED HUMAN! I’LL BE SURE TO KILL YOU AND SUCK ALL OF YOUR ESSENCE AND SOUL DRY! I’LL TURN YOU INTO A DRIED UP CORPSE!” The Infinite Bat Old Master howled in anger. However, despite that enraged expression of his, his bodily actions betrayed his intents.
At this moment, a Black Heavens Bat King was caught in the hands of the Infinite Bat Old Master, which he was using to play with himself mercilessly.
“DAMN IT!” The Infinite Bat Old Master was about to go crazy by now. He wanted to stop. However, his body wouldn’t allow it.
“Infinite Bat Old Master, don’t scream any longer. Just take the time to enjoy your deepest desires thoroughly and follow your heart to the peak of your life.” Lin Fan was spouting bullsh*t with an absolutely straight face.
True Origins Crushing Kick was one of the four great evil skills in Lin Fan’s arsenal.
Even though these evil skills had yet to reach their peak cultivation states, their current strength was already heaven-defying enough. These were skills that were unique to Lin Fan. Within this entire world, he was the only who could deploy them.
Bam! Bam!
A series of exploding sounds rang through the sky. Under the might of this kick, the Black Heavens Bat Kings began to drop to the ground, spasming uncontrollably as they were sapped of every single bit of their fighting strength. They wanted to fly up once more, but they were tormented to the depth of their souls by that feeling of pain.
Screech! Screech!
These shrill cries were sorrowful beyond anything else. If they could speak in human language, they would definitely be cursing out at Lin Fan right now.
At this moment, the Infinite Bat Old Master’s figure finally appeared. Without any bit of hesitation, Lin Fan took out his Eternal Axe immediately.
‘Destruction!’
The swing of that axe seemed to be cleaving through the entire Heaven and Earth, as a frightening axe flash tore through the Paradise towards the Infinite Bat Old Master. This was a formidable amount of force. There was no way this totally unprepared Infinite Bat Old Master could resist it, as he was split into two instantly.
“Indeed, he is pretty hard to kill.” Lin Fan frowned. Without hearing the notification from the system, he naturally knew that the Infinite Bat Old Master wasn’t dead just yet.
“YOU’LL NEVER KILL ME!” Instantly, the Infinite Bat Old Master howled out in anger, “WITHIN THIS PARADISE, YOU CAN NEVER, EVER KILL ME!”
“Hmph, there’s no one in this world who can’t die.” Lin Fan snorted coldly. He would definitely not believe the words of the Infinite Bat Old Master.
After all, even now that he had mastered Blood Sea till its ninth level, Rebirth through Blood, he dared not claim that he would never ever die. How could a bloody Infinite Bat Old Master claim the same?
The brightness in Lin Fan’s eyes expanded out. In a flash, he sent out thousands of punches that were accompanied with a myriad of skills. For Lin Fan, the art of combining skills together was something that he had mastered to an extremely proficient state.
‘Nirvana Finger!’
Lin Fan’s long robes danced in the air as he floated gently in the void. Using his finger as a pointer, ripples flowed out one by one, causing the Paradise to rip apart bit by bit.
With that ripple, tens of millions of Black Heavens Bat Kings were disintegrated instantly. The Infinite Bat Old Master died countless times as well. However, he would resurrect before Lin Fan each time he died.
“B*stard! You’ll never be able to kill this old man here! Even though I’ve got no idea what you’ve done to me, I can feel the effects of this weird thing that you’ve placed within me gradually dissipating! The moment this old man here can fully resist this power, I’ll make sure you know of a fate worse than death!” The Infinite Bat Old Master was howling out with bloodshot eyes.
Lin Fan lowered his head into contemplation. Was this Infinite Bat Old Master truly unkillable?
But, that was impossible as well. There were no living beings in this world that couldn’t be killed! In fact, even the Ancient One, who was one of the utmost beings, would definitely die one day as well.
Therefore, the Infinite Bat Old Master must definitely be depending on this Paradise.
“Add some more ingredients for him!” Lin Fan tossed out his hand and handed the matter over to the Spirit of Biggra.
“Yes, Master!”
By now, the Black Heavens Bat Kings that were killed by the Infinite Bat Old Master himself amounted to the hundreds. After all that endless releases that he was venting out, the Biggra within his body was gradually diminishing.
“Heh, smelly bat! Don’t look down on me!” The Spirit of Biggra giggled evilly. With that, a thick, dense mist floated up and spread out once again, covering the Infinite Bat Old Master under his frightful cry.
“Master! I’ve realized that each time you kill the Infinite Bat Old Master, hundreds of Black Heavens Bat Kings would blow up! I’m suspecting that the reason behind his infinite resurrections should have something to do with these Black Heavens Bat Kings!” Long Xuan, who had been observing the fight the entire time, suddenly spoke up.
“Oh? Is that the case?” Pointing out his finger, a single Sword Will howled out, ripping the Infinite Bat Old Master apart before turning its focus onto the Paradise.
Indeed, it was just as Long Xuan had mentioned, the moment the Infinite Bat Old Master died, hundreds of Black Heavens Bat Kings would explode, turning into a blood mist and fusing within the Paradise.
“Seems like this is the reason for your infinite resurrections. Now, the next time around, you may not be able to revive anymore. Hurhurhur.” Lin Fan laughed.
“Damn it!” The Infinite Bat Old Master’s face was extremely grim right now. To think that his trick would be exposed by this guy!
Lin Fan did not want to say anything else. Wielding his Eternal Axe, he shut his eyes slightly as his essence, spirit, and vitality skyrocketed. His skills gathered, causing a brilliant light to shine upon his Eternal Axe.
This light converted into a small spot, with all of the energy converging into it. The amount of power that it possessed right now was enough to shock just about anybody.
“Even though it might be unrealistic to say that I can break through your entire Paradise, it would definitely be no issue for me to kill all of your Black Heavens Bat Kings though.” Lin Fan stepped forth. Wielding the Eternal Axe with both his hands, he cleaved down at the Paradise with a force as though he was slamming down on the Heaven and Earth itself.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
The Infinite Bat Old Master screamed out from the bottom of his heart. To think that he would fall in the hands of a single human!
That unkillable and imperishable body of his! How in the world did it get seen through by a mere human? This wasn’t something he could accept at all!
The flash appeared. This was a cleave that possessed all the energy, spirit, and vitality of Lin Fan within it. Slicing through the void, nothing that the axe passed by continued to live post its appearance. Before they could even finish their shrieks, countless Black Heavens Bat Kings found themselves turned into dust, before disappearing into the Paradise.
BAM!
A gigantic vibration reverberated through the Paradise. With that, all those uncountable Black Heavens Bat Kings disappeared entirely, as the Infinite Bat Old Master himself was cleaved into dust as well.
‘Ding…Congratulations on killing Infinite Bat Old Master.’
‘Ding…Experience Points +200,000’
‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining Paradise Shard.’
‘Ding…Congratulations on obtaining Infinite Bats Imperishable Magic.’
This wasn’t something that Lin Fan had expected! To think that the Infinite Bat Old Master would bring about such a fair amount of experience points along with a skill!
The Paradise Shard of the Infinite Bat Old Master wasn’t as resolute as that of the Sovereign King Wei’s. Therefore, Lin Fan smelted this immediately and tossed it into his realm, allowing it to make up for the shortcomings of his own realm. This would allow it to turn sturdier and stronger, in order to pave the path forward for his Paradise in the future.
However, the Infinite Bat Imperishable Magic was giving Lin Fan some headaches right now.
“Master, if you were to let me learn this Infinite Bat Imperishable Magic, I would definitely turn stronger.” The big ancient demon said.
Lin Fan flipped through the Infinite Bat Imperishable Magic. This was an extremely dark skill. However, it was indeed pretty decent for the big ancient demon. Therefore, Lin Fan tossed it over to the big ancient demon and had him learn it for himself.
“Master, hurry up and create some Shengyang Pills! Otherwise, our cultivation speeds are simply way too slow!” The big ancient demon added on.
The moment Lin Fan heard the words of the big ancient demon, he was rendered speechless immediately.
F*ck!
He calls THAT cultivation speed slow?
However, on second thought, Lin Fan could see the logic in the big ancient demon’s words. It was true that things would be much easier with the presence of Shengyang Pills. Even though this Infinite Bat Old Master was sticky to deal with, if he had an indefinite amount of Shengyang Pills to expend, the Paradise of this Infinite Bat Old Master would definitely be bursting wide open.
But, it was a pity that it wasn’t easy getting his hands on those Shengyang Pills.
Which powerful being would be dumb enough to hinder their own cultivation speeds, all for some Shengyang Pills?
Chapter 571: Skyrocketing Tension.

——————–( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)————————-
“Seems like the Fire Water Secret Grounds is going through some unrest right now.” Lin Fan focused his gaze into the distance. He could sense some disturbance up ahead, as a series of auras pierced their way into the void.
Furthermore, it didn’t seem as though the clashes were happening on a single spot. Fights were breaking out in all directions.
The Fire Water Secret Grounds were unestablished secret grounds. Evidently, they were in the sights of coveters.
However, in a place like this, no matter how many treasures there were, there would definitely be more people grabbing and fighting over them. They would definitely not be enough for everyone. As such, with the dangers lurking around them, they would have to watch their backs.
With that, Lin Fan chased in the direction where Fairy Hongyun and her sect members had headed off to.
After Lin Fan’s departure, the void trembled. At the spot where Lin Fan was moments earlier, a few men appeared out of nowhere. One of them frowned and tore a hole in the void with a curl of his finger like a mountain.
“The Infinite Bat Old Master has been slain. Who in the world would have the capabilities to do so?”
The man’s expression changed to one of a slight bewilderment. While the actual powers of the Infinite Bat Old Master weren’t all that strong, his Paradise was utterly mysterious and strange. It was extremely difficult to kill someone like him.
“Brother Luo, there’s no lack of wealth to be found in this Fire Water Secret Grounds. The Infinite Bat Old Master was a greedy person who knew no bounds. It wouldn’t be that much of a surprise for him to bump into someone tough and get himself killed in reverse.”
Another man looked really frosty. His gaze was split into Yin and Yang, with the Yin Yang Qi swirling within his eyes. It was as though he could reverse the Heaven and Earth, changing all of the worlds upside down.
“The Fire Water Emperor was a powerful being of the old ancient times. His lifetime’s worth of fortune must definitely be astounding. Amidst it, the most valuable item is the True Essence of Water and Fire. If one can obtain the True Essence of Water and Fire, they can inherit the legacy of the Fire Water Emperor. We mustn’t linger around here, lest someone else snatches it away.” A man who was holding on to a hand fan commented.
This man’s disposition was graceful. However, a strong killing intent emitted from him from time to time, which was pretty obscure.
Despite that, the single strain of killing intent that was sensed from time to time could rattle one’s spirits, and have them delve entirely into the power of that endless killing will.
“Life Stealing Scholar, the three of us have already agreed that we would walk this path together as comrades. Our encounters shall depend on our fates from the Heavens itself. Whoever dares to backstab anybody shall be shown no mercy from the rest of us.” Luo Yi gave a grave reminder.
“That’s for sure. Alright then, let us hurry on our way. This time around, there are quite a number of elders from the Cloud Sect who have come along. Their powers must be pretty decent. Things should get a little tricky. Let us make sure to take care.” The man with the black and white eyes smiled indifferently.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan was observing the situation in the Fire Water Secret Grounds keenly. The deeper he delved into this place, the more he was realising how complex this Fire Water Emperor was. To think that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi within this dimension that he had opened up would be this dense and thick! In fact, it was even comparable to that of the Ancient Saint World itself!
Furthermore, the surroundings were all filled with spirit herbs! Even though some of their levels weren’t all that high, they were still pretty useful for Lin Fan.
Along his way, Lin Fan had collected all the Spirit Herbs he had come across.
Perhaps these might be items that others might not take a liking to. However, a Grandmaster of cultivating pills such as Lin Fan could create elixirs out of any single spirit herb that no one else would even bother with.
Lin Fan looked ahead into the distance and spotted Fairy Hongyun, Tianyun and Muqing standing together. Near them were a group of people, who were standing still at their spots as well.
“Everyone, watch out! Someone’s coming!”
Suddenly, a man within the group felt some vibrations through the void around him. His face changed immediately as he threw out those words of caution.
To think that someone could remain hidden while avoiding their detection! They could only sense the might of the vibrations from the voids upon their arrival.
The disciples of the Cloud Sect felt their mental states shuddering fiercely while their faces changed.
Ever since they had entered this place, they were separated from their elders. Within this Fire Water Secret Grounds, they had to tread with extreme caution, lest they met with any powerful beings.
The moment Fairy Hongyun caught sight of who it was, her face changed into one of elation as she hurried forth, ‘Everyone, relax! He’s my friend!’
The moment the masses heard the words of Fairy Hongyun, they heaved a sigh of relief as well.
The moment Tianyun and Muqing caught sight of Lin Fan, their hearts skipped a beat in happiness as well. Even though this man was pretty close to his junior sister, Tianyun could tell that he was not a bad person. Also, he didn’t seem so irksome anymore. Therefore, the grudges that Tianyun bore towards Lin Fan earlier on had disappeared by now.
“Are you alright!” Fairy Hongyun had not expected Lin Fan to arrive this quickly! She had only just met up with her fellow sect members!
“Yup, I’m alright. Even though the Infinite Bat Old Master was a little tricky, it’s all over now.” Lin Fan replied before sweeping his gaze at the group of people around him.
All of their auras were different, as they varied in race. However, their cultivation states were pretty decent. Some of them were divine celestials, while others were desolate celestials.
However, if these people were to bump into someone like the Infinite Bat Old Master with their current cultivation states, they would definitely not be of any match for him.
“The Infinite Bat Old Master is dead?” Hongyun was stunned, somewhat in disbelief.
“Yes. He has already been killed by me. Even though the methods of the Infinite Bat Old Master were somewhat strange, he treads on the path of evil.” Lin Fan replied casually. Even though the Infinite Bat Old Master was of the Paradise state, his actual powers weren’t all that fearsome. The only thing fearsome about him was that ability of his to resurrect indefinitely.
However, after Lin Fan had seen through his tricks, he was only worth that much at the end of the day.
Fairy Hongyun could feel her heart pounding right now. To think that he would be able to kill the Infinite Bat Old Master, whom even the elders of her sect couldn’t kill! His methods and powers were utterly shocking!
But of course, Lin Fan’s powers right now couldn’t be compared to those of the Cloud Sect elders. After all, those elders had not managed to unveil the tricks of the Infinite Bat Old Master, and that was all. They did not know of the fact that he was able to resurrect himself with the Black Heavens Bat Kings even after they had killed him.
However, that one encounter had the Infinite Bat Old Master injured severely as well.
All the Black Heavens Bat Kings within the Paradise were slaughtered cleanly by the elders of the Cloud Sect. In the end, it was only one single Black Heavens Bat King who had managed to escape unscathed.
The Infinite Bat Old Master had only managed to regain his strength after recuperating for a few years.
“Hongyun, this friend of yours is…?” Now that they were separated from their elders, the current leader of this group of Cloud Sect disciples was a senior brother of hers. The moment he caught sight of Lin Fan, his eyes shone with one of disdain.
“This man here is the pride of the Human race, Lin Fan. Back when I was being hunted down by the Evil Alliance, he was the one who had saved me. Earlier on when we bumped into the Infinite Bat Old Master, he was also the one who had paved the way for my escape together with senior brother and sister. I was the one who invited him with me into the opening of the Fire Water Secret Grounds.” Fairy Hongyun explained.
“Lin Fan, this is my senior brother here, Fang Weifeng. Senior Brother Fang.” Fairy Hongyun gave Lin Fan an introduction as well.
“My pleasure.” Since this was one of Hongyun’s senior brothers, Lin Fan was naturally courteous and polite with his replies.
Fang Weifeng cast a single glance at Lin Fan before turning his eyes onto Fairy Hongyun, “The Fire Water Secret Grounds is an extremely important place. How could you bring someone in without even knowing of their background? The difference between a good and a bad person isn’t something you can tell with your naked eyes.”
Lin Fan’s brows creased, somewhat displeased. Did this guy have a mental problem? Yours Truly had not offended him in any way at all. Why the hell was there so much tension at their first meeting?
“Senior brother, Brother Lin here has saved my life. Furthermore, he took down the Infinite Bat Old Master as well. We would definitely be more secure with Brother Lin around.” Tianyun stood up for Lin Fan.
“Such big words. Secure with him around? Tianyun, you’re getting bold now, aren’t you? Making decisions all on your own. How dare you disregard the words of Senior Brother Fang?” Suddenly, one of the disciples who were standing beside Fang Weifeng stood out to lecture Tianyun.
“Senior Brother Weitian, that is not my intention.” Tianyun replied.
“That’s enough! Even our elders could not kill off the Infinite Bat Old Master and you’re saying that this guy has the capabilities to do so? Who knows if he had let you guys leave earlier on so that he could plot in secret with the Infinite Bat Old Master!” Weitian’s reply was extremely overbearing as he stood tall.
“Senior Brother Wei! How could you be so accusatory?” Tianyun rebutted.
“Impudent! UTTERLY DISRESPECTFUL OF YOUR SENIORS!” Weitian’s face turned cold instantly as he struck out in a flash.
All the while, Fang Weifeng stood still with an indifferent look. He did not intend to step in to stop this fiasco. Evidently, this was also a demonstration of strength to Lin Fan.
It was to show the latter who the true leader around here was.

Fight, fight, fight! Fight with your cocky attitudes and watch my boy tear you boys a new one! Cheers!

Chapter 572: Conflict
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
Lin Fan had not expected things to turn out this way.
Where was the promised lovingness and doting between siblings? Why were the sect members fighting all of a sudden because of a single disagreement?
All Tianyun did was refute a single sentence of his, and he should be punished? How bloody overbearing was that?
Weitian stretched out his arm in a claw-like grip. Locking in his aura, he grabbed at Tianyun.
“Senior Brother Wei, stop!” Looking at how Weitian was not holding back at all, Hongyun’s face changed as well. The Void Ripping Claw was something that could tear even the Heavens apart, let alone the meat and flesh body of Tianyun.
The moment Tianyun caught sight of this, he was rattled. He knew that his senior brother was merely making use of him as a tool to display his might. However, the Cloud Sect had a strict hierarchy of seniority, Tianyun did not dare to retaliate at all.
Even if he did, he wouldn’t be a match for his Senior Brother Wei.
In a flash, Tianyun realized that a figure was standing right before him, shielding him from harm’s way.
The moment Weitian saw this human acting as a shield, he sneered coldly in his heart as well. He increased the amount of strength to his arm, causing all five of his fingers to glow with a sharp gleam. Clawing down at the shoulders of Lin Fan, he was bent on gutting this man.
Shing!
A crisp, clean sound rang out. However, this wasn’t the sound of Lin Fan’s shoulders being destroyed. The moment Weitian’s fingers made contact with Lin Fan’s shoulders, all five fingers of his began to contort, as though they were met with some sort of force.
A Sword Will shot out of Lin Fan’s shoulders, embedding itself in the arms of Weitian.
Fresh blood spilled everywhere, spraying into the skies.
‘Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!’
A shrill cry rang out as Weitian stumbled backward repeatedly. As though it was pierced by an infinite number of swords, blood holes began to appear on his arms. Fresh blood oozed and gushed out of these holes.
“You…!” Weitian looked at Lin Fan in anger. However, the terrible pain caused him to cry out once more. That undispelled Sword Will remained within his arm.
“Brother Tianyun is your junior brother. Of course, it’s in your right to discipline him as a senior brother. However, Brother Tianyun is my friend. If you dare to bully my friend before me, you’re evidently disregarding the presence of me, Lin Fan. This was only a small little lesson for you this time around. If you dare to act so brazenly, I’ll have that arm of yours severed entirely.” Lin Fan replied imposingly.
The flames of rage burned in the Weitian’s heart. To think that this man would dare to strike out at him and injure his arm as well! However, he was clear of the difference between them.
In front of so many of his other sect members, how could Weitian afford to lose his face right here?
“You bloody human of unknown background and origins! How dare you mix yourself within the midst of the Cloud Sect? This guy must definitely have some motives behind him! Everyone, we’ve got to take him down!” Weitian hollered.
“Halt!” Hongyun placed herself in between the both of them, “Senior Brother Wei! Right now, we’re within the Fire Water Secret Grounds! It wouldn’t be a wise move to cause any internal strife between us!”
“Junior Sister Hongyun, I take it that you’re on the side of this human then, eh?” Weitian’s rage was impossible to quell right now. How could he bear to let it go just like this?
“So what if Big Senior Brother Liaohen takes a liking to you? If you do not step away right now, you better not blame me for disregarding our ties as fellow sect members!”
“Weitian, what has this got to do with Senior Brother Liao and me? The way you do not distinguish between right or wrong won’t be spared if the elders catch wind of this!” Hongyun replied.
“Junior Brother Wei, stand back.” At this moment, Fang Weifeng stood forth. His aura was austere like a lofty mountain, great and boundless.
“Senior brother, I-I…!” Weitian was indignant. He wanted to get back his pride.
“Stand back.” Fang Weifeng’s tone was still calm like the still waters. However, Weitian could tell that if he did not stand back as ordered, he would truly incur the wrath of his senior brother.
“Senior Brother Fang, I implore for you to make a decision on this matter. Please let everything go and let us work together to survive in this Fire Water Secret Grounds.” Fairy Hongyun requested.
Fang Weifeng’s expression was grim and impossible to tell, “Junior Sister Hongyun, you stand back too.”
“Senior brother…” Noticing the look on her senior brother’s face, Fairy Hongyun could tell that something bad was about to happen.
“STAND BACK!” With a maddened holler from Fang Weifeng, an invisible sonic boom blew Fairy Hongyun away immediately. This was an extremely overbearing move.
Looking at the situation before him, Lin Fan knew that there could definitely be no peaceful resolution to this. However, the thing that exasperated him was the fact that even though he had done nothing wrong, he was getting bullied by others time and again.
Seemed like the kind truly did get taken advantage of.
If he had appeared in this place with his unparalleled and formidable aura from the start, things might be entirely different right now.
“Brother Lin, you’ve got to watch out! Senior Brother Fang is really strong.” Standing behind Lin Fan, Tianyun whispered softly. At the same time, his heart was bubbling with indignance. So what if they were of the same sect? Everything should be determined by true strength!
Lin Fan nodded his head before stepping forth. He glared at Fang Weifeng straight in the eye, “Since you want to have a go at it, we’ll have a go at it. I, Lin Fan, have truly never felt much fear for others… ever.”
“Hmph. You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. Of course, there’s nothing for Junior Brother Wei to hold against given that his strength is weaker than yours. However, for an outsider like you to step in Junior Brother Wei’s disciplining of a junior? Evidently, you don’t hold much regard for the Cloud Sect. Since that’s the case, I shall see just what sort of capabilities you’ve got for you to strike out as such.” Fang Weifeng’s tone was extremely domineering.
“Lin Fan, don’t be rash!” Fairy Hongyun hurried over and stood before Lin Fan, attempting to hold him back.
Channeling his aura outwards, Lin Fan used the force to push Fairy Hongyun to one side as well.
“This is no longer of your concern. Just stay there and watch the show properly. Well, it’s good that my hands are starting to feel itchy as well. I’ve got to check out for myself just what sort of capabilities disciples of the Cloud Sect possess. Time to see if you guys should have the rights to even remain alive within this Fire Water Secret Grounds.”
Lin Fan was afraid of nothing from the Heavens down to Hell. So, why would he be afraid of a trash like this then? Since this guy did not care for niceties and manners, insisting for Lin Fan to show his strength, then this guy was just asking for it!
All the surrounding disciples were rooted right now in shock as well. They had not expected things to turn out like this!
However, now that Senior Brother Fang was the one who had stepped into this affair, there was no room for them to interfere at all.
Now that things had come to this, Fairy Hongyun did not have any way of resolving this either. She couldn’t help but retreat a few steps back, keeping the worries within her heart to herself.
To fight with one another in a place as such, no matter which side wound up being injured, it would be a disaster.
“Lin Fan, please show some mercy.” Fairy Hongyun knew how strong Lin Fan was. If Lin Fan were to kill Senior Brother Fang, things would really be blown out of proportion. By then, no matter how much tact she had, she would not be able to mediate the Cloud Sect out of sparing Lin Fan.
“Relax, I know my limits. To think that a mere trash as such would dare to challenge my authority? If I don’t give him some taste of my strength, he would really think that there’s no one out there in this world who could take him in hand. He needs to know that there’s always someone stronger than you out there.” Lin Fan scorned in disdain.
“Big words! How dare you call me a trash? No matter who steps in today, they wouldn’t be able to save your dog life!” Fang Weifeng’s eyes were thoroughly incensed right now, all prepared to kill his opponent.
Lin Fan’s lips curled coldly.
Divine celestial level 2, Realm state.
This was someone that wasn’t even comparable to the Infinite Bat Old Master. And yet, how dare he act so brazenly before Lin Fan? He was simply just courting his own death!
“GO TO HELL!” With a frenzied roar, Fang Weifeng deployed every single one of his moves as he bolted forth. His robes danced like a flag in a gust, flapping noisily.
In a single strike, his body flashed. His skills gathered together like a current, converging within his palms. The crackling sound of his palm was sharp, as it slammed out towards Lin Fan.
Instantly, Fang Weifeng changed into many different forms. The surrounding area was filled with his figures. Amidst illusion and reality, falsehood and truth, one could not identify the real body of Fang Weifeng at all!
By now, all the surrounding disciples could not help but break out into cold sweat as the tension rose significantly. They did not know how things would eventually turn out…
Chapter 573: Fainting From Spraying Blood
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
“This is the Cloud Summit Movement, the utmost movement technique of our Cloud Sect. It is said that if one were to cultivate it up to its highest state, their movements would follow that of the clouds, formless and fluid. They could change up their bodies into all sorts of states, where one could not distinguish between reality and illusion any longer.”
“Senior Brother Fang’s temperament had always been on the fiery side. Why the hell wouldn’t this human just give in to him? If he could tolerate for just that bit, things would not escalate as such!”
“Senior Brother Fang has already cultivated his realm to a state where he could control it with just the whim of his mind. He is practically just that step away from being a Paradise state being right now!”
“This human is in for it right now! That palm strike of Senior Brother Fang is way too formidable! The power of that is definitely beyond that of someone from the Realm state!”
All the surrounding disciples began to engage in a heated discussion. They did not dare to question the actions of Senior Brother Fang at all, let alone disobey his authority and status. To think that a single human would dare to rile up Senior Brother Fang like this, without any concern towards the severity of the issue. Things might not end as easily with just a broken limb or two today.
Fang Weifeng was someone who was born within the Ancient Saint World, and had spent his life growing up in the Cloud Sect. He would forever put on an attitude of him being the greatest there ever was.
Even those disciples with powers stronger than Fang Weifeng, but had entered the Cloud Sect after him, would give him some leeway, not stooping down to his level.
However, now that they were out of the sect, his attitude wasn’t something to be tolerated by outsiders.
Weitian smirked coldly at Lin Fan. He was waiting to see just how this guy was going to kneel down before Senior Brother Fang’s might and beg for mercy.
“That movement technique of yours is pretty mysterious indeed.”
Looking at Fang Weifeng who was taking on many different forms right now, Lin Fan’s curiosity was piqued. To tell if a sect were strong, one would only have to look at the type of skills their disciples possessed.
And, Lin Fan could tell from the get-go that this movement technique was far from ordinary.
Moving like the clouds, he might seem as though he possessed a physical body. However, there was none.
The smoke disappeared and the clouds dissipated. This was a mysterious movement with ever-changing motions, leading to one becoming indistinguishable between the layers of truth and falsehoods.
All of a sudden, Fang Weifeng appeared behind Lin Fan. Punching out with that ever mighty slap, he hurled out at the back of Lin Fan’s head.
It was as though he was bent on slapping Lin Fan into a retard.
“Watch out!” Fairy Hongyun’s heart was skipping like a deer right now. This wasn’t a battle that she had wanted to witness at all.
This was especially the case after realizing how vicious her Senior Brother Fang’s attacks were. She was afraid that Lin Fan might fall prey to him instead because of his merciful nature.
“Go to hell!” Fang Weifeng’s mouth curled coldly. To think that this damned fella would dare to pit himself against him? He could only use his life as a means of apology then.
With his back still facing Fang Weifeng, Lin Fan grinned gently.
So what if his movement technique was mythical?
Within the Xuanhuang World, Lin Fan had always found himself walking through death’s doors. Which ones of his battles weren’t all earthshattering and fraught with dangers?
If he were to fall prey to Fang Weifeng’s Dao just like this, he would have lived his life for nothing at all.
In a jiffy, Lin Fan turned around. Raising his hand gently, he stretched out a single finger. This finger was exceptionally normal, without a single stir of energy at all.
In fact, all the surrounding disciples right now were pretty sure that this human was going to be slapped to death by their Senior Brother Fang’s single move.
However, this was when the shocking event happened. All of the disciples rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things right now.
To think that the mighty and formidable palm strike of their Senior Brother Fang would be stopped by a single finger!
Nirvana Finger!
Using the finger as a center, a series of ripples were emitted out. These ripples were like stones that were cast into the gaping maws of the ocean, creating a series of growing ripples.
Shing!
As though they were dealt some severe impact, the nearby void began to shatter like a cracked mirror, turning into tiny shards of their own.
Fang Weifeng’s face changed immediately as a growing bubble of horror filled his eyes. He had suddenly realized that the mighty palm strike of his seemed to have met with some sort of an impenetrable wall!
With that, an unblockable force was being transmitted from the finger itself. It coiled around the barriers of the void nearby and wrapped itself around his arm. He could feel his arm about to be destroyed at any moment!
“Damn it!” Fang Weifeng blasted out, trying to break free of this power.
However, this finger seemed to possess some sort of boundless suction force as it resided in the center of Fang Weifeng’s palms. No matter how much strength he exerted, he couldn’t break free of it at all.
“You’ve provoked me time and again. By every single reason I can think up of, you should be dead right now. However, given the fact that you’re Fairy Hongyun’s senior brother, I shall spare your life. However, I’ve got to give you something to remember this day.” Lin Fan remarked indifferently.
Destroy!
Lin Fan hollered out gently. With that, a devastating power appeared.
To Fang Weifeng’s horror, that palm of his was being separated from him continuously as it turned into specks of dust, disappearing within the face of the Heaven and Earth.
‘ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!’
A tragic cry ensued from the screaming Fang Weifeng.
“Mercy please!!!” Fairy Hongyun chimed in.
Lin Fan flicked his finger, sending Fang Weifeng flying off like a bullet. He slammed onto the ground in the distance, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The surrounding disciples were watching everything with their jaws dropping apart, as all color drained from their faces. To think that this crazily mighty and imposing Senior Brother Fang of theirs would be taken down by a single move of the other party!
Weitian was shivering from head to toe right now. He had suddenly realized how scary this human right before his very eyes was.
Fang Weifeng was howling out in fury as his eyes were filled with incredulity. However, in the blink of an eye, the look of incredulity changed into that of rage and hatred.
He glared at Lin Fan with such baleful eyes, as though he had a blood feud with him.
“DAMN IT! HOW DARE YOU SEVER MY PALM FROM ME? I’LL KILL YOU!” Fang Weifeng screamed out in anguish.
“Don’t come seeking death. The only reason why you’re alive is all only because of Fairy Hongyun. If you don’t know what’s good for you, I wouldn’t mind sending you on your way.” Lin Fan snorted coldly.
“I’LL HAVE YOU DEAD…!!!” Fang Weifeng’s eyes were bloodshot right now. Evidently, he was going into a state of frenzy.
“Senior Brother Fang, that’s enough!” Fairy Hongyun intervened.
“SCRAM!” Fang Weifeng howled in an insane craze. His body jerked as an extremely domineering force burst forth.
‘Power of the Cloud Summit!’
The moment Fairy Hongyun caught sight of this, her heart jerked as well. To think that Senior Brother Fang would resort to employing a secret technique!
The cloud summits stood above the skies in the Heavens, looking down on all living beings. This was a state that living beings could not wish to climb up to.
Pui! Pui!
Spitting out two mouthfuls of essence blood, Fang Weifeng gathered them before him. Taking on many different forms, they eventually turned into a red colored longsword.
This red colored longsword was extremely flexible, as the figure of a Cloud Emperor floated gently above it. This Cloud Emperor’s aura was extraordinary, shining down on the rest of the world.
Wielding the Sword of the Cloud Emperor in his arms, Fang Weifeng instantly became one with the Cloud Emperor. He bolted out at Lin Fan in a huff. His sword stance fluttered in the sky as his aura rumbled furiously, bringing with it a torrent of energy from the Heavens that was bent on ending Lin Fan’s life right there and then.
Lin Fan stood there indifferently. Looking at the anxious look on Fairy Hongyun’s face, he nodded his head.
Since things had come to this, this was the only way then.
At this moment, Lin Fan crossed two fingers together. A single torrent of energy coiled itself around those fingers of his.
VRING!
The sound of a vibration rang through the void as Lin Fan disappeared from his original spot.
‘Bare Nudeness!’
In that instant, the Heaven and Earth stood still in absolute silence.
A flash of light beamed past.
Piercing through the spot, Fang Weifeng stood where he was with a grim face. The Sword of the Cloud Emperor in his hands dissipated like the clouds, ceasing to exist any longer.
‘HAHA!’
Suddenly, Fang Weifeng burst out laughing. He had felt the Sword of the Cloud Emperor pierce through the body of the other party!
“What are you laughing at?” Suddenly, a voice permeated through the void. Fang Weifeng’s face changed immediately into one of disbelief.
“H-how did you do it?”
Fang Weifeng refused to believe everything before his very eyes. He had clearly felt the sensation of piercing through the other party! Why the hell was this fella still alive?
‘AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!’
Suddenly, a series of shrill cries coming from the female disciples amongst the spectating disciples rang out. At the same time, there were muffled laughter and discussion amongst the other disciples.
Fang Weifeng suddenly felt a frosty chill around his body. Lowering his head, his entire face turned white as a sheet.
Shame. Anger. Madness. Hatred…
“To think that Brother Fang is into stuff like that. Something as small as a popcorn, this is the first time I’m seeing something like this in my life.”
At this moment, Lin Fan’s voice was the only thing that could be heard in the world.
However, this voice was a world of eternal pain for Fang Weifeng.
URGH!
URGH!
URGH!
URGH!
With that, he spat out blood in a flurry, spraying it all around the sky in a tragic state. At this moment, the burning flame of rage had struck straight into the heart of Fang Weifeng.
Unable to endure this humiliation, he fell to a thud as he fainted onto the ground.

Chapter 574: Tomb Of The Emperor
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
‘Ding…Bare Nudeness has leveled up.’
‘Ding…Bare Nudeness has leveled up.’
Leveling twice in a row, this was a pretty decent result for Lin Fan.
However, what Lin Fan had not expected was that this skill was so damn strong! Even at this point in time, he could not figure out at all how the other party’s clothes were removed!
As for the surrounding disciples, the sight of their Senior Brother Fang without a single piece of garment on him had them totally flabbergasted.
In fact, even some of the female disciples who once had a crush on Senior Brother Fang were now revealing looks of contempt at that popcorn sized object at his groin. Instantly, those crushes flew away into the skies and ceased to exist.
Should one go for power or happiness?
For these girls, the latter was obviously the most important.
When the masses realized that Lin Fan’s gaze was turned upon them, their hearts froze up immediately, as though they were faced with a ferocious tiger right before them.
They knew that the reason why Senior Brother Fang was entirely nude right now must be due to the doings of this human.
Horrifying… Way too horrifying!
In the blink of an eye, he had removed all of Senior Brother Fang’s clothing! If they were to be the victim of this move of his, how terrifying would that be?
This one move of Lin Fan also caused the hearts of some of the female disciples to bubble up with fear.
If they had accidentally offended this man and ended up like Senior Brother Fang, that would be absolutely horrifying to imagine!
Hongyun looked over at Lin Fan, blinking her eyes blankly in helplessness. She had not expected Lin Fan to have such a frightening move.
She knew that Lin Fan’s powers were way stronger than Senior Brother Fang’s to begin with. But she had not expected the difference to be this…this great.
“Fairy Hongyun, we shouldn’t reside here overly long. It’s time to set out.” Lin Fan was feeling a little guilty in his heart right now. He shouldn’t have used Bare Nudeness. After all, this was a skill that was way too damaging to the public morals.
However, what could he do now that he had already done it?
But fair enough, at least it was enough to solidify his might as a threat to everyone else.
All of the male disciples who had been surrounding Fang Weifeng earlier on now stood rooted to their spot obediently, not daring to act overly impudent and the likes.
“Alright.” Fairy Hongyun’s body shuddered momentarily. Finally, she was starting to feel a little scared of Lin Fan. That move was way too strong! Senior Brother Fang did not even have a chance to retaliate!
Even though Senior Brother Fang wasn’t stronger than Lin Fan, he was still an imposing existence amongst them nevertheless. To think that he would be stripped stark naked without any way of fighting back at all!
If Lin Fan were to turn against her for any reason, she would surely stand no chance at all.
At this moment, Tianyun’s heart was pretty rattled as well. He had not expected Lin Fan to be this strong! If Senior Brother Fang were to vent all his frustrations onto Tianyun himself once they got back to the sect, that would be a true tragedy!
However, Tianyun did not voice out his concerns. Even though he might suffer back in the sect, at least there was no worry of him losing his life because of it.
At the same time, he felt that it was all worth it now that he could take a peep at Senior Brother Fang’s SMALL secret. To think that Senior Brother Fang’s nether regions would only be the size of a popcorn!
Once this piece of news got back to the sect, it would definitely spread like wildfire.
‘HAHA…!’
With that, Lin Fan and the rest of them made haste. Along the way, they bumped into many living beings that were born within the Fire Water Secret Grounds. These living beings did not belong to any race or anything. They were all created from the concentrated Spirit Qi of the Fire Water Secret Grounds itself.
During his flight, Lin Fan also caught sight of a gorge where a six-armed giant was fighting with another giant. However, in the blink of an eye, Lin Fan casually slayed both the giants and tossed their thick spirit, essence, and vitality into the Demon City, boosting its powers.
“Look, guys! A gigantic door has opened up straight ahead!” Suddenly, Tianyun pointed out into the distance.
Lin Fan turned his gaze over. Indeed, up ahead, there was a gigantic door that was around 10,000 feet in height.
At this moment, the door had already been opened. However, there was a gigantic blue and red vortex that was twisting right before the door.
“I believe that the tomb of the Fire Water Emperor should be up ahead.” Fairy Hongyun spoke up.
Lin Fan did not know where this blue and red vortex was connected to. Upon taking a closer inspection, he realized that there were a variety of mysterious images and runic symbols on the door itself.
There were two figures of giants that attracted Lin Fan’s attention particularly.
Red.
Blue.
These giants were remarkably lifelike in their image.
“These two giants… Could they have been drawn up by the Fire Water Emperor personally?” Lin Fan was feeling some uncertainties in his heart. Even though the giants were just images carved into the stone, he could feel a mighty aura being emanated out from them.
“Here! There are markings left behind by our elders here!” Checking out the surroundings, Hongyun exclaimed out urgently.
Lin Fan and the others landed on the ground, “What markings?”
“The elders are engaged in a fight with some outsiders! Right now, all of them are within the tomb!” Fairy Hongyun remarked.
At this moment, only two paths were awaiting Lin Fan and the others. The first was to head into the vortex, and the second was to find a place to hide.
“Seems like we’ve been careless this time around. To think that there would be these many powerful beings eyeing the opening of the Fire Water Secret Grounds. Seems like it’s already extremely lucky for us to even remain alive up till this point.” Fairy Hongyun continued.
Even though they were divine celestials, if the outsiders and powerful beings were locked in a stalemate with their elders, they must naturally be of divine celestial level 4 or 5!
If they were to meet such powerful beings, they would naturally be slain in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Fairy Hongyun turned around to the masses, “My fellow sect members, it is fraught with immense dangers within. If anyone does not wish to enter, please find a hiding spot in the meantime. When the elders finally make their way out, we’ll leave this place together.”
The crowd turned their heads and looked at one another.
“Senior Sister Hongyun, you’ve once said that encounters depend on one’s fates. Everyone has their lives predetermined. The fact that we’ve made it here to the Fire Water Secret Grounds is an affinity to begin with. I want to enter and see what sort of destiny awaits me.” A middle-aged man with a square face spoke up with a bright thirst shining in his eyes.
“There are many encounters awaiting us in the Fire Water Secret Grounds. Too many to count in fact. If I do not head in and give it a shot, I’ll definitely feel immensely regretful as well.”
Everyone at this place felt that they would definitely not rest in peace if they did not give it a shot while they could.
“Alright! Since that’s the case, let us head in then. Even though life and death might not be in our hands once we enter, I implore all of you to watch out for your safety first within.” Fairy Hongyun replied.
…
Suddenly, Lin Fan frowned. He could sense a few auras approaching from the distance.
“Hurry up and enter! There are more people coming.” Lin Fan warned out.
“Go!”
Without much hesitation, the masses leaped into the vortex.
Instantly, the Heavens toppled and the Earth flipped over. Everything before them turned pitch black. The next time Lin Fan opened his eyes to look for everyone else, he was in a place that was completely empty.
Checking out his surroundings keenly, Lin Fan realized that he had appeared within some sort of a maze. This maze was extremely vast, where its boundaries could not even be seen at all.
Within this maze stood many tall stone statues. All of them were crafted intricately, and looked extremely lifelike, wielding weapons of their own.
“Seems like everyone who enters this place would be teleported to a random location. Oh well, this is a rare opportunity still. Time to search for the Fire Water Emperor’s treasure before anything else.” Without any delay, Lin Fan leaped up from the ground and flew out towards the distance. However, his face changed immediately as a black figure bolted out at him instantly.
By the time he could identify his target, he realized that all the stone statues had started moving without him realizing at all!
These stone status were extremely imposing and fearsome. Those initially darkened sockets of theirs were now lit ablaze with a fiery flame. The weapons in their hands cleaved out at Lin Fan at this moment.
