Chapter 206: The Pretentious Meets the Genuine

At this moment, Lin Fan felt like crying. Why did they have to resort to robbery? If not for that, how could he have obtained this map?

Now he was in grave danger—what should he do?

At this moment, the ancient altar was emitting a stronger and more oppressive aura. The glowing runes flickered and gradually faded. A thick black mist began to seep slowly from the altar.

“I’m out… Finally, I’m free…” A dark shadow took the shape of a human figure, but it had no physical body—everything about it seemed like smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes locked onto Lin Fan, staring at him so intensely that his heart pounded with fear.

Lin Fan instinctively took a few steps back, his face filled with tension as he asked, “What do you want?”

“Hehehe…” The voice from the mist was sharp and eerie, making Lin Fan’s heart race with dread.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said suddenly, hurriedly rummaging through his backpack before pulling out a token. “Take a look at this! I am the sect leader of the Eleventh Peak of the Supreme Sect—the most prestigious cultivation sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you won’t escape the consequences.”

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have obtained this map, would he?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he was at a loss for what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure, devoid of flesh, formed from the mist, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, causing his heart to pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the mist. “What do you want?”

“Kehehe…” The mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “Look at this! I’m the eleventh peak master of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it!”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status. He didn’t know if the evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit hesitate slightly, and he felt a glimmer of hope. “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just been unsealed, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get used to it quickly. Let’s go to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was hoping that the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Kehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will belong to me…” The evil spirit sneered, its form spreading like a giant bird’s wings as it lunged at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck! Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. Reconciliation was clearly impossible now. He had no choice but to fight.

Gripping the Eternal Axe, Lin Fan swung it at the evil spirit several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit taunted, dodging the attacks. Its misty face was twisted with malice, but it seemed pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged as he unleashed a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, aiming it fiercely at the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of it seemed to affect the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep gashes on his chest. The wounds were blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan gasped for breath, his eyes wary as he glared at the evil spirit, his face filled with rage.

“You’ve forced my hand,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break all those rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural way, striking his own groin with even force.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick was a desperate move—either it would cripple him or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” the evil spirit cackled, circling Lin Fan.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan stared at the evil spirit, then pulled out a pill labeled “Big Brother” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, he now felt no remorse. If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be on his knees.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An immense force filled his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Hmm…” The evil spirit was surprised. It noticed that the insignificant ant before it had suddenly transformed.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, causing the evil spirit’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would have to admit defeat.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was nothing else he could do.

“Thud…”

A puff of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s form kept vanishing into the void.

“Kehehe, I don’t know how you boosted your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced by the same mocking expression.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit said, its tone tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been for nothing.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, having given up. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the “Big Brother” pill had been exhausted in his last burst of power.

“Kehehe…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match in arrogance.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, and now he was trapped in this perilous situation. What should he do?

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I, the king, have finally emerged…” A shadowy figure took shape, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Keh keh…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan quickly rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a token. “Look at this! I am the peak master of the Eleventh Peak of the Saint Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it!”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He didn’t know if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity seemed slightly stunned, and he felt a glimmer of confidence. “Actually, we can be good friends. You’ve just broken free from the seal, so you must be unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get accustomed to the surroundings. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future lives.”

Lin Fan felt like a fool even as he spoke these words, but he was hoping that the dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Keh keh, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will now belong to me, the king…” The dark entity let out a cold laugh, its figure swooping toward Lin Fan like a giant bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck! Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. The situation was beyond reconciliation now; he had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung it repeatedly at the dark entity.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the dark entity dodged, its smoky face twisted in a sinister grin, clearly satisfied with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it toward the dark entity.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, something he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the dark entity.

But none of it seemed to affect the dark entity. Its shadowy claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep gashes appeared on his chest, the flesh torn and blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he stared at the dark entity, his face filled with anger.

“You’ve forced my hand,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with a mocking glint.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair, nor can they kick their own crotch.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Crotch Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction, striking his own crotch with even force.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Crotch Kick—either it would render him powerless or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan glared at the dark entity, then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Saint Demon Sect, now he had no regrets. If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling in defeat.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the Big Fan Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid, an infinite power surging through his body, as if he could pierce the heavens.

“Huh?” The dark entity was startled, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant figure before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, causing the dark entity’s expression to shift.

If this didn’t kill the dark entity, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If this still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Pfft…”

A wisp of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form re-coalesced, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now, the pain was nearly unbearable, and he was holding on purely by willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Keh keh, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced once more by a mocking tone.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The body of the man before it was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me, the king,” the dark entity’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. He had no more tricks up his sleeve. The dark entity was too powerful, and even his self-inflicted pain had been for nothing. His crotch kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan surrendered, the boost from the Crotch Kick gone, and the effects of the Big Fan Pill exhausted from his earlier outburst.

“Keh keh…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get your shoes wet. Showing off had led him to a formidable opponent.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure emerged, forming a humanoid shape without a physical body, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing, eerie eyes locked onto Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Ke ke ke…” The black mist’s voice was shrill and chilling, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token and held it up. “See this? I’m the peak master of the eleventh peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status like this. He didn’t know if the evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit seemed to hesitate for a brief moment, which gave him a sliver of confidence. “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get used to it quickly. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was hoping that the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Ke ke ke, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will belong to me now…” The evil spirit let out a cold laugh and lunged at Lin Fan like a bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m an easy target?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no chance of reconciliation now; he had to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung it at the evil spirit multiple times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its black mist-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin. It seemed quite pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged as he unleashed a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, slamming it toward the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of it had any effect on the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep gashes appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds was torn and blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the evil spirit, his face filled with rage.

“You’ve forced my hand,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break all those rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot shot out in an awkward angle, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would cripple him or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing mockingly.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the evil spirit. He then pulled out a “Big Viagra” pill from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, he now felt no remorse. Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Lin Fan was about to unleash an explosive output.

As the Big Viagra took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An immense power surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Hmm…” The evil spirit let out a surprised sound, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant human before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, causing the evil spirit’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reappeared, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Ke ke ke, I don’t know what you did to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once again by a mocking expression.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The human before it was the perfect candidate.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s voice was tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been for nothing.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, having given up all resistance. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the Big Viagra had been exhausted in his earlier outburst.

“Ke ke ke…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you play by the river, you’ll eventually get wet. He had met his match.

It was over…

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have obtained this map, right?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger and stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to slowly seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, resembling a human form but without a physical body, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes stared at Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he looked at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Kehehe…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan immediately rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a token. “Look at this! I’m the Peak Master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare to harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d have to flaunt his status one day. He didn’t know if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit seemed slightly stunned, and he felt a bit more confident. “Actually, we can be good friends. Look, you’ve just broken free from the seal, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get used to the environment. Let’s go to the city later, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future lives.”

Lin Fan felt like a fool as he said this, but he was hoping that the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Kehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will now belong to me…” The evil spirit sneered, its figure swooping down like a giant bird of prey, lunging at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

At this moment, Lin Fan was furious. The situation was beyond reconciliation now; he had no choice but to fight.

Lin Fan wielded the Eternal Axe, slashing at the evil spirit several times in a row.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its face formed from the black mist twisted in a sinister grin, clearly satisfied with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he fiercely attacked the evil spirit.

The Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of this had any effect on the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep wounds appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds was torn and blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan was breathing heavily, his eyes alert as he stared at the evil spirit before him, his face filled with anger.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the evil spirit. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the crotch.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Although the process was painful, compared to his life, what did it matter?

“Crotch Kick…”

At this moment, Lin Fan let out a roar, his right foot kicking in a bizarre direction, striking his own crotch.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the intense pain radiating from his crotch.

The Crotch Kick—either it would render him powerless, or it would unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled around Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes fixed on the evil spirit. Then, he took out a “Big Brother Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to being ruthless, Lin Fan was second to none. He dared to harm even himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Holy Demon Sect before, now, in this situation, Lin Fan had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked, he would’ve been done for.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

At this moment, Lin Fan was about to unleash an explosive output.

As soon as he swallowed the Big Brother Pill, Lin Fan’s breathing became rapid, and an infinite power surged through his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Huh…” The evil spirit was surprised. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant ant before it had undergone a drastic change.

“Slash…”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, causing the evil spirit’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would just have to accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no other way.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form re-emerged, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was nearly unbearable, and he was relying solely on his willpower to keep going.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and causing the entire hall to shake violently.

The evil spirit’s figure kept disappearing into the void.

“Kehehe, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but unfortunately, it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

The initial look of surprise on its face gradually faded, replaced once again by a mocking expression.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The body of the person before it was perfect for the evil spirit.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s tone was filled with excitement.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. He had truly run out of options. The evil spirit was too powerful. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His crotch had been kicked for nothing.

Was he really going to die here today?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan had given up resisting. The boost from the Crotch Kick had worn off, and the effects of the Big Brother Pill had been exhausted in his previous outburst.

“Kehehe…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, and black mist seeped into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. Showing off had led him to meet someone far more powerful.

It was over…

“You don’t want the face I give you? You really think you can push me around?”

At this moment, Lin Fan was furious. There was no chance of reconciliation now—it was either fight or die.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart race with fear.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Keh keh…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I am the peak master of the eleventh peak of the Saint Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status. He wondered if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity seemed slightly taken aback. Feeling a bit more confident, he continued, “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just broken free from the seal, so you must be unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get accustomed to the surroundings. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like a fool, but he hoped that this dark entity might also be a fool.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Keh keh, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will now belong to me…” The dark entity let out a cold laugh, its form spreading like a giant bird’s wings as it lunged at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to reconcile now; he had to fight.

Gripping the Eternal Axe, Lin Fan swung it multiple times at the dark entity.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the dark entity dodged, its smoky face twisted in a sinister grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he fiercely attacked the dark entity.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, which he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death situation, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the dark entity.

But to the dark entity, these attacks were useless. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep wounds on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the dark entity, his face filled with rage.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with a mocking glint.

A man can’t lift himself by his own hair.

Nor can he kick his own crotch.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Crotch Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in a bizarre manner and struck his own crotch.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his crotch.

The Crotch Kick—either it would render him powerless or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled around Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan stared at the dark entity, then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing his own peaches back in the Saint Demon Sect, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked, he would have been finished.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the Big Fan Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid, an infinite power surging through his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Hmm…” The dark entity let out a surprised sound, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant figure before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung the axe with incredible speed, causing the dark entity’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the dark entity this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no other way.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form re-emerged, though somewhat unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now; the pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung the axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s form kept vanishing into the void.

“Keh keh, though I don’t know how you boosted your strength, it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once again by a mocking tone.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. The one before it was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the dark entity’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The dark entity was too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His crotch had been kicked for nothing.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan had given up. The boost from the Crotch Kick had faded, and the effects of the Big Fan Pill had been exhausted in his last burst of power.

“Keh keh…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’ll eventually get your shoes wet. Showing off had led him to a formidable foe.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, would he?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“I’m out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Hehehe…” The black mist’s voice was shrill and eerie, sending chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second.” Lin Fan immediately rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a token. “See this? I’m the peak master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He didn’t know if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit hesitate slightly, and he felt a glimmer of hope. “Actually, we could be good friends. Look, you’ve just been unsealed, and you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get used to it quickly. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was desperately hoping that the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will now belong to me…” The evil spirit let out a cold laugh and lunged at Lin Fan like a bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to reconcile now. He had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the evil spirit several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape.” The evil spirit dodged effortlessly, its shadowy face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged as he unleashed a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, slamming it toward the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of it seemed to affect the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep gashes appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the evil spirit, his face filled with rage.

“You’re forcing my hand.” Lin Fan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at the evil spirit. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction and struck his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick: either it would cripple him or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan glared at the evil spirit and then pulled out a “Big Viagra” pill from his backpack, swallowing it in one go.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself. Who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, he now felt no remorse. If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling in defeat.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As soon as he swallowed the pill, his breathing became rapid. An immense power surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Huh?” The evil spirit was startled. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant ant before it had undergone a transformation.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with blinding speed, causing the evil spirit’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If that still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Ssshh…”

A wisp of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form re-coalesced, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s figure kept fading into the void.

“Hehehe, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough.” The evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once again by a mocking tone.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The body of the man before it was perfect.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me.” The evil spirit’s voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. He had no more tricks up his sleeve. The evil spirit was simply too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here today?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again.” Lin Fan had given up. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the Big Viagra had been exhausted in his previous outburst.

“Hehehe…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match.

It was over…

“Tide Force, Thirteenth Layer!”

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure emerged, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Kehehe…” The black mist’s voice was shrill, sending chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “Look at this! I’m the peak master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it!”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He didn’t know if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit hesitate slightly, and he felt a glimmer of confidence. “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get used to the environment. Let’s head to the city later, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he hoped the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Kehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will belong to me now…” The evil spirit sneered, its form spreading like a giant bird’s wings as it lunged at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no chance of reconciliation now; he had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the evil spirit several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its black mist-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged as he unleashed a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, slamming it toward the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But Lin Fan was about to break all those rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction, slamming into his own groin.

The force was precise.

Lin Fan fell to his knees, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would cripple him or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing mockingly.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan glared at the evil spirit, then pulled out a pill labeled “Big Brother” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, he now felt no remorse. Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Lin Fan was about to unleash an explosive output.

The moment he swallowed the pill, his breathing grew rapid. An endless surge of power filled his body, as if he could pierce the heavens.

“Huh?” The evil spirit was startled. It suddenly noticed a drastic change in the insignificant figure before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with blinding speed, causing the evil spirit’s expression to shift.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was truly no hope left.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s form kept vanishing into the void.

“Kehehe, I don’t know what you did to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once more by a mocking expression.

Over the past thousand years, its original body had decayed. Now, it needed a new vessel, and Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s voice was tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin had been kicked for nothing.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, having given up. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the “Big Brother” pill had been exhausted in his earlier outburst.

“Kehehe…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have obtained this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure formed, human-like but without a physical body, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes locked onto Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Keh keh…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I’m the peak master of the eleventh peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status like this. He wondered if the evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit seemed slightly stunned. Feeling a bit more confident, he continued, “Actually, we could be good friends.

Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Keh keh, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will belong to me now…” The evil spirit sneered, its figure swooping toward Lin Fan like a giant bird.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m an easy target?”

Lin Fan was furious. Reconciliation was clearly impossible now. He had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung it at the evil spirit multiple times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit taunted, its black mist-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin. It seemed quite pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it toward the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his skills like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of it seemed to affect the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep gashes on his chest. The wounds were blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the evil spirit, his face filled with anger.

“You’re forcing my hand,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

But Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was painful, compared to his life, it was nothing.

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction, striking his own groin with even force.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would cripple him or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” the evil spirit jeered, circling Lin Fan with a sinister laugh.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the evil spirit. He then pulled out a “Big Viagra” pill from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was second to none. He dared to harm even himself. Who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Holy Demon Sect before, he had no regrets now.

If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be on his knees.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the Big Viagra took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An infinite force surged through his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Hmm?” The evil spirit was surprised. It noticed that the insignificant ant before it had suddenly changed.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, startling the evil spirit.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was nothing else he could do.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was nearly unbearable, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Keh keh, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced by its usual mocking demeanor.

Over the millennia, its original body had been destroyed. Now, it needed a new vessel, and Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit said, its tone filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, having given up all resistance. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the Big Viagra’s effects had been exhausted in his last burst of power.

“Keh keh…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match in arrogance.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually extinguishing. A black mist began to seep out from the altar, slowly spreading.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure formed, resembling a human but without a physical body, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes stared at Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he looked at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Ke ke ke…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I’m the peak master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status like this. He didn’t know if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity hesitate slightly, giving him a glimmer of hope. “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get acquainted quickly. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

Lin Fan felt like an idiot as he spoke these words, but he was hoping that the dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Ke ke ke, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will now belong to me…” The dark entity sneered, its figure swooping down like a giant eagle towards Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to reconcile now; he had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung it repeatedly at the dark entity.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the dark entity dodged, its black mist-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it towards the dark entity.

The Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the dark entity.

But none of it had any effect. The dark entity’s pitch-black claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep wounds appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he stared at the dark entity, his face filled with anger.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with a mocking glint.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural way, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick either incapacitated the user or unleashed all their potential.

“Is this self-mutilation?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the dark entity. He then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself; who else could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Holy Demon Sect before, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the Big Fan Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An immense power surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Oh?” The dark entity was surprised. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant ant before it had undergone a transformation.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, causing the dark entity’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the dark entity this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s figure kept disappearing into the void.

“Ke ke ke, though I don’t know how you boosted your strength, it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once more by a mocking tone.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the dark entity’s voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The dark entity was too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been for nothing.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan said, giving up. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the Big Fan Pill had been exhausted in his last burst of power.

“Ke ke ke…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match.

It’s over…

“Ding!《Indestructible Demon Body》experience + 500,000.”

“Your body is strong. Impressive.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and apart from the experience gain from《Indestructible Demon Body》, five deep wounds appeared across his chest. The flesh there twisted and blackened, as if infected by the dark mist.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he was at a loss for what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure formed, devoid of flesh, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart race with fear.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Ke ke ke…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a minute,” Lin Fan said, frantically rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I am the master of the eleventh peak of the Saint Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He wondered if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity seemed slightly taken aback. Feeling a bit more confident, he continued, “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you must be unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get used to the surroundings. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future lives.”

Lin Fan felt like an idiot as he spoke, but he was hoping that this dark entity might be just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Ke ke ke, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will belong to me…” The dark entity sneered, its form spreading like a giant bird’s wings as it lunged towards Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. The situation had escalated beyond reconciliation, and now he had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the dark entity several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the dark entity dodged, its smoke-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan poured all his energy into this strike, his palm radiating with thirteen layers of force as he slammed it towards the dark entity.

Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he unleashed everything he had, his techniques cascading like a tidal wave towards the dark entity.

But none of it seemed to affect the dark entity. Its shadowy claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep gashes on his chest. The wounds were blackened, as if infected by the dark mist.

Lin Fan gasped for breath, his eyes filled with rage as he glared at the dark entity.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick!”

Lin Fan roared, his right foot twisting in an unnatural way as he kicked himself in the groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick was a desperate move—either it would render him useless or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the dark entity. He then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Saint Demon Sect before, he now had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked, he would have been done for.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the Big Fan Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing became rapid, and an immense force surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Hmm…” The dark entity was surprised. It noticed that this seemingly insignificant figure had suddenly changed.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, startling the dark entity.

If he couldn’t kill the dark entity this time, Lin Fan would have to accept defeat.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Whoosh…”

A portion of the black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s form kept vanishing into the void.

“Ke ke ke, I don’t know what you did to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

The initial surprise on its face faded, replaced by the same mocking expression.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. Lin Fan’s body was exactly what it needed.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the dark entity’s voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The dark entity was too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, having given up all resistance. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the Big Fan Pill had been exhausted in his last burst.

“Ke ke ke…”

The dark entity enveloped Lin Fan in an instant, the black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you play with fire, you’ll get burned. He had met his match.

It was over…

“This is your doing,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he had felt utterly powerless.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, what should he do?

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure formed, devoid of a physical body, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart race with fear.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Keh keh…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan quickly rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a token. “Look at this! I am the peak master of the eleventh peak of the Saint Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it!”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He didn’t know if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At this moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit seemed slightly stunned, and he felt a bit more confident. “Actually, we can be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you must be unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get used to the environment. Let’s head to the city later, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future lives.”

Lin Fan felt like a fool for saying this, but he was hoping that the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Keh keh, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will belong to me now…” The evil spirit sneered, its figure swooping towards Lin Fan like a giant eagle.

“You’re pushing your luck! Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. Given the current situation, reconciliation was impossible. He had no choice but to fight.

Lin Fan wielded the Eternal Axe, slashing at the evil spirit multiple times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its black mist-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly satisfied with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he fiercely attacked the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, which he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of it seemed to affect the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep wounds appeared on his chest, the flesh torn and blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the evil spirit, his face filled with anger.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by pulling their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But now, Lin Fan was determined to break these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to losing his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

Lin Fan roared, his right foot kicking towards his own groin in a bizarre motion.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would render him powerless or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the evil spirit. He then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Saint Demon Sect before, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked, he would have been doomed.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As he swallowed the Big Fan Pill, his breathing grew rapid, and an immense power filled his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Huh…” The evil spirit was surprised, noticing the sudden change in the insignificant figure before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, startling the evil spirit.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would have to admit defeat.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Pfft…”

A wisp of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was nearly unbearable, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe repeatedly at the evil spirit, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Keh keh, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

The initial look of surprise on its face faded, replaced once again by a mocking expression.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The body of the man before it was perfect.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s tone was filled with excitement.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. He had no more tricks up his sleeve. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan had given up. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the Big Fan Pill had been exhausted in his last burst of power.

“Keh keh…”

The evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan in an instant, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get your shoes wet. Showing off had led him to a formidable opponent.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have obtained this map. Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he was at a loss for what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually extinguishing as a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure formed, lacking a physical body, as if it were entirely made of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, causing his heart to pound fiercely.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Kekeke…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a moment,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “Look at this! I am the peak master of the eleventh peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status. He hoped this ghostly entity would be intimidated and let him go.

Noticing the ghostly entity’s momentary hesitation, Lin Fan felt a glimmer of confidence. “Actually, we can be good friends. You’ve just been released from the seal and must be unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get accustomed. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

Lin Fan felt like a fool saying this, but he hoped the ghostly entity was equally foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Kekeke, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will belong to me…” The ghostly entity laughed coldly, its figure swooping towards Lin Fan like a giant bird.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. Reconciliation was impossible now; he had no choice but to fight.

Wielding the Eternal Axe, Lin Fan slashed at the ghostly entity several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the ghostly entity dodged, its black mist-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly satisfied with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was desperate. His true energy surged as he unleashed a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, fiercely attacking the ghostly entity.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, which he had never neglected. In this life-and-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into his attacks, like a tidal wave crashing onto the ghostly entity.

But these attacks had no effect on the ghostly entity. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep wounds on his chest. The flesh was torn and blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at the ghostly demon.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan said, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The ghostly entity’s strength far exceeded Lin Fan’s expectations.

The ghostly entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair, nor can they kick their own groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break these rules. Though the process was painful, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

Lin Fan roared, his right foot kicking his own groin in a bizarre motion.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick either incapacitates or unleashes all potential.

“Are you self-harming?” the ghostly entity sneered, circling Lin Fan.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes fixed on the ghostly entity. He then took out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself; who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Holy Demon Sect before, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked, he would have been doomed.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Lin Fan was about to unleash explosive power.

As he swallowed the Big Fan Pill, his breathing became rapid, an immense force filling his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Hmm…” the ghostly entity was surprised, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant human.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, startling the ghostly entity.

If he couldn’t kill the ghostly entity this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was nothing more he could do.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the ghostly entity’s form re-emerged, though somewhat unstable. “What method did you use?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak; the pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe repeatedly at the ghostly entity, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The ghostly entity’s form kept disappearing into the void.

“Kekeke, though I don’t know how you boosted your strength, it’s still not enough,” the ghostly entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced by its usual mocking demeanor.

Its original body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the ghostly entity’s voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The ghostly entity was too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick was in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, having given up resistance. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the Big Fan Pill’s effects had been exhausted in his previous outburst.

“Kekeke…”

The ghostly entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. Showing off has met its match.

It’s over…

A man cannot lift himself by pulling his own hair.

Nor can he kick his own crotch.

But now, Lin Fan was about to defy those limits. The process might be painful, but compared to losing his life, what did it matter?

“Testicle Kick…”

With a scream, Lin Fan swung his right leg in an odd, sharp motion straight into his own crotch.

The force was precise.

Lin Fan dropped to one knee, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

Testicle Kick—if it didn’t leave you crippled, it unlocked your full potential.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, devoid of a physical body, as if it were entirely made of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Ke ke ke…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I am the peak master of the eleventh peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he hoped the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Ke ke ke, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will belong to me…” The evil spirit sneered, its figure swooping down like a giant bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m an easy target?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to reconcile now; he had to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the evil spirit several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its smoky face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it toward the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, which he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of it seemed to affect the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gain, five deep wounds appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the evil spirit, his face filled with anger.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with a mocking glint.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would render him powerless or unleash all his potential.

“Is this self-mutilation?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan stared at the evil spirit, then pulled out a “Big Brother Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Holy Demon Sect before, he now felt no remorse. In this situation, he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked, he would have been doomed.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the Big Brother Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An immense force filled his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Hmm?” The evil spirit was surprised. It noticed the once insignificant figure before it had suddenly changed.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, startling the evil spirit.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would have to admit defeat.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reappeared, though somewhat unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was nearly unbearable, and he was holding on purely by willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Ke ke ke, though I don’t know how you boosted your strength, it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced once more by a mocking expression.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. The one before it was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s tone was filled with excitement.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“I’m out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes locked onto Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Hehehe…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I’m the Eleventh Peak Master of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He wondered if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity seemed slightly stunned. Feeling a bit more confident, he continued, “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just been freed, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get accustomed quickly. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

Lin Fan felt like an idiot as he spoke these words, but he was hoping the dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will now belong to me…” The dark entity let out a cold laugh, its form spreading like a giant bird’s wings as it lunged toward Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no chance of reconciliation now. He had no choice but to fight.

Gripping the Eternal Axe, Lin Fan swung it at the dark entity multiple times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the dark entity sneered, dodging the attacks. Its smoky face twisted into a grotesque expression, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan poured all his energy into this strike, his palm radiating with thirteen layers of force as he slammed it toward the dark entity.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, something he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he unleashed everything he had, hurling all his techniques at the dark entity like a tidal wave.

But none of it seemed to affect the dark entity. Its shadowy claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep gashes on his chest. The wounds were blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at the dark entity. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to losing his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction, slamming into his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick was a desperate move—either it would render him useless or unlock his full potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan stared at the dark entity, then pulled out a pill labeled “Big Fan Ge” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the past, he now felt no remorse. If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling in defeat.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An immense force surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Huh…” The dark entity sounded surprised, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant human before it.

“Slash…”

Lin Fan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he swung his axe with blinding speed, catching the dark entity off guard.

If this didn’t kill the dark entity, Lin Fan would have to accept defeat.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was nothing else he could do.

“Ssshh…”

A portion of the black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form wavered as it reformed. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe repeatedly, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s form kept fading into the void.

“Hehehe, I don’t know how you boosted your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced by its usual mocking tone.

Over the centuries, its original body had decayed. Now, it needed a new vessel, and Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. In that moment, your body will belong to me,” the dark entity said, its voice tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly defeated. No matter what he did, the dark entity was too powerful. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was this where he would meet his end?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, his resistance gone. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the pill’s effects had been exhausted in his last burst of power.

“Hehehe…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, its black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you play with fire, you’ll get burned. He had met his match.

It was over…

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan had no equal. If he was willing to hurt himself, who could possibly match him?

He had once regretted stealing peaches from the Holy Demon Sect, but now, he had no regrets.

If he didn’t kick, he’d have to kneel.

Compared to losing his life, what was a little pain?

This was it—Lin Fan was about to unleash explosive power.

The moment he swallowed “Big Fan Ge,” his breathing quickened. An endless surge of strength filled his body, as if he could tear through the heavens.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, resembling a human form but without a physical body, as if it were entirely made of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Ke ke ke…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, frantically rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token and held it up. “See this? I’m the eleventh peak master of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status like this. He didn’t know if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity seemed to hesitate slightly, which gave him a glimmer of confidence. “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get acquainted quickly. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

Lin Fan felt like an idiot as he said this, but he was hoping that the dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Ke ke ke, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will now belong to me…” The dark entity let out a cold laugh, its figure swooping toward Lin Fan like a giant bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to negotiate now; he had to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung it at the dark entity multiple times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the dark entity dodged, its smoky face twisted into a menacing grin, clearly satisfied with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged as he unleashed a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, slamming it toward the dark entity.

Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, something he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the dark entity.

But none of it seemed to affect the dark entity. Its pitch-black claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep gashes appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the dark entity, his face filled with rage.

“You’re forcing my hand,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the dark entity. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break all those rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot shot out in a bizarre motion, striking his own groin with even force.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would render him useless or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the dark entity. He then pulled out a “Big Brother Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, he now felt no remorse. If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling in defeat.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Lin Fan was about to unleash an explosive output.

As he swallowed the Big Brother Pill, his breathing grew rapid. An immense power surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Hmm…” The dark entity let out a surprised sound, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant figure before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with blinding speed, causing the dark entity’s expression to shift.

If he couldn’t kill the dark entity this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If that still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Pfft…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form reappeared, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was nearly unbearable, and he was running purely on willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Ke ke ke, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once again by a mocking tone.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. The one before it was perfect.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the dark entity’s voice was tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The dark entity was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan had given up. The boost from the Groin Kick had worn off, and the Big Brother Pill’s effects had been exhausted in his last burst of power.

“Ke ke ke…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He’d met his match.

It’s over…

“Die…”

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have obtained this map, would he?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he was at a loss for what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, devoid of flesh, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Hehe…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a minute,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I am the master of the Eleventh Peak of the Saint Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He wondered if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit seemed momentarily stunned. Feeling a bit more confident, he continued, “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just been released, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get used to the environment. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future lives.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he hoped the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will belong to me now…” The evil spirit sneered, its form spreading like a giant bird’s wings as it lunged at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. Reconciliation was impossible now; he had no choice but to fight.

Gripping his Eternal Axe, Lin Fan swung it at the evil spirit several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its smoky face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan poured all his energy into this strike, a powerful palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, aimed directly at the evil spirit.

Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, one he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he unleashed everything he had, attacking the evil spirit with all his might.

But to the evil spirit, these attacks were futile. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep gashes on his chest. The wounds were blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan gasped for breath, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at the evil spirit.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But now, Lin Fan was determined to break these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to losing his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural way, delivering a powerful kick to his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick either incapacitated the user or unleashed all their potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the evil spirit. He then pulled out a “Big Brother Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself; who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Saint Demon Sect before, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked himself, he would have been doomed.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the Big Brother Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid, an immense power surging through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Hmm…” The evil spirit was surprised, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant human before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, startling the evil spirit.

If this strike didn’t kill the evil spirit, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was nothing else he could do.

“Whoosh…”

The black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now; the pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe repeatedly, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s form kept vanishing into the void.

“Hehe, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced by the same mocking expression.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s tone was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt helpless. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan surrendered. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the Big Brother Pill’s effects were spent after his last burst.

“Hehe…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. Showing off met its match.

It’s over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“I’m out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, formless, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Hehehe…” The black mist’s voice was shrill, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second.” Lin Fan immediately rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a token. “Look at this! I’m the Peak Master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He didn’t know if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity hesitate slightly, and he felt a glimmer of confidence. “Actually, we could be good friends. Look, you’ve just broken free from the seal, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get accustomed to the environment quickly. Let’s head to the city later, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was hoping that this dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will now belong to me…” The dark entity let out a cold laugh and lunged at Lin Fan like a bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m an easy target?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to reconcile now. He had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the dark entity several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape.” The dark entity dodged, its face formed from black mist twisted into a grotesque expression, but it seemed quite pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged as he unleashed a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, slamming it toward the dark entity.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the dark entity.

But none of it seemed to affect the dark entity. Its pitch-black claw pierced through the void and appeared right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gain for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep gashes appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the dark entity before him, his face filled with rage.

“You forced me into this.” Lin Fan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at the dark entity. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by pulling their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But now, Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction and struck his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would render him incapacitated or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the dark entity. Then, he pulled out a pill called “Big Brother” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Holy Demon Sect before, he now felt no remorse. Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

At this moment, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An infinite power surged through his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Huh?” The dark entity let out a surprised sound. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant ant before it had undergone a transformation.

“Slash…”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, causing the dark entity’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the dark entity this time, Lin Fan would have to admit defeat.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no other way.

“Sss…”

A wisp of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form re-coalesced, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was nearly unbearable, and he was relying solely on his willpower to keep going.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and causing the entire hall to tremble violently.

The dark entity’s figure kept fading into the void.

“Hehehe, though I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, it’s still not enough.” The dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial look of surprise gradually faded, replaced once again by a mocking expression.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The body of the man before it was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me.” The dark entity’s tone was filled with excitement.

At this point, Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The dark entity was simply too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he really going to die here today?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again.” Lin Fan had given up resistance. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the “Big Brother” pill had been exhausted in his previous outburst.

“Hehehe…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, and tendrils of black mist seeped into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match.

It’s over…

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his power. If it still wasn’t enough, then there really was nothing left he could do.

“Slash!”

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, would he?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

“Keh keh…” The black mist’s voice was shrill, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status like this. He didn’t know if the evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit seemed to hesitate for a brief moment. Feeling a sliver of confidence, he continued, “Actually, we could be good friends. Look, you’ve just broken free from the seal, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get accustomed to the environment quickly. Let’s head to the city later, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was hoping that the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Keh keh, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will now belong to me…” The evil spirit let out a cold laugh, its figure swooping toward Lin Fan like a giant bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to reconcile now. He had no choice but to fight.

Gripping the Eternal Axe, Lin Fan swung it repeatedly at the evil spirit.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit sneered, its black mist-formed face twisted in a grotesque grin. It seemed quite pleased with its prey.

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot shot out in a bizarre angle, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would cripple him or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing mockingly.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan glared at the evil spirit, then pulled out a pill labeled “Big Fan Ge” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Holy Demon Sect before, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An endless surge of power filled his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Huh?” The evil spirit was startled. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant ant before it had undergone a transformation.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, causing the evil spirit’s expression to change.

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was nearly unbearable, and he was relying solely on his willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Keh keh, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once again by a mocking expression.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. The one before it was perfect.

“Keh keh…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match.

It was over…

Lin Fan could barely speak now. The pain was unbearable, threatening to tear him apart. He was only holding on through sheer willpower.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have obtained this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he was at a loss for what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure formed, devoid of flesh, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, nervously staring at the mist. “What do you want?”

“Ke ke ke…” The mist’s voice was eerie, sending chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan immediately rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a token. “Look at this! I’m the peak master of the eleventh peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status. He wondered if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get accustomed to the environment. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like a fool, but he hoped the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Ke ke ke, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will belong to me…” The evil spirit sneered, its figure swooping towards Lin Fan like a giant bird.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. Reconciliation was impossible now; he had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the evil spirit several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its shadowy face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan poured all his energy into this strike, a powerful palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, aimed directly at the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he unleashed everything he had, attacking the evil spirit with a barrage of techniques.

But none of it seemed to affect the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep gashes on his chest. The wounds were blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, glaring at the evil spirit with a mix of fear and anger.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair, nor can they kick their own groin.

But Lin Fan was about to defy these impossibilities. Though the process was excruciating, compared to losing his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick!”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural way, striking his own groin with even force.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick either incapacitated or unleashed all one’s potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan stared at the evil spirit, then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself; who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the past, now he had no regrets. If he hadn’t kicked, he’d be kneeling.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing quickened, and an immense force surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Hmm?” The evil spirit was startled, noticing a sudden change in the seemingly insignificant figure before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung the axe with incredible speed, catching the evil spirit off guard.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was nothing else he could do.

“Whoosh…”

A puff of black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reappeared, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak; the pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung the axe repeatedly, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Ke ke ke, though I don’t know how you boosted your strength, it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced by the same mocking expression.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it sought a new body. Lin Fan’s body was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s voice was tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan gave up, the boost from the Groin Kick gone, and the pill’s effects depleted after his last burst.

“Ke ke ke…”

The evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’ll eventually get your shoes wet. Showing off has met its match.

It’s over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“He’s coming out… I’m finally free…” A shadowy figure emerged, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the mist. “What do you want?”

“Keh keh…” The mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, frantically rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “See this? I’m the peak master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status like this. He wondered if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the spirit seemed momentarily stunned. Feeling a bit more confident, he continued, “Actually, we could be friends. You’ve just been freed, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get used to it quickly. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was hoping the spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Keh keh, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will now belong to me…” The spirit sneered, its form spreading like a giant bird of prey as it lunged at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck. Don’t think I’m an easy target.”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no chance of reconciliation now. He had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the spirit multiple times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the spirit dodged, its smoky face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly satisfied with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it toward the spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, something he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his skills like a tidal wave against the spirit.

But to the spirit, it was all useless. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep gashes on his chest. The wounds were blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the spirit, his face filled with rage.

“You’re forcing my hand,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was painful, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural way, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would cripple him or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan stared at the spirit, then pulled out a pill labeled “Big Fan Ge” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself—who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing his own peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, he now had no regrets. If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling in defeat.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid, an immense power surging through his body, as if he could pierce the heavens.

“Hmm…” The spirit was surprised. It suddenly noticed that this insignificant ant had undergone a transformation.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung the axe with incredible speed, startling the spirit.

If he couldn’t kill the spirit this time, Lin Fan would have to admit defeat.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If this didn’t work, there was nothing else he could do.

“Thud…”

A puff of black mist dissipated, and the spirit’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung the axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The spirit’s form kept vanishing into the void.

“Keh keh, I don’t know what method you used to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced by its usual mocking tone.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. Lin Fan’s body was perfect for it.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the spirit said, its voice tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan pleaded, having given up all resistance. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the effects of the Big Fan Ge pill had been exhausted in his last burst.

“Keh keh…”

The spirit enveloped Lin Fan in an instant, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. Showing off had led him to a true powerhouse.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right? Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually extinguishing. A black mist began to seep out from the altar, slowly spreading.

“I’m out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, resembling a human form but without a physical body, as if it were made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing, eerie eyes stared at Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he looked at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Hehehe…” The black mist’s voice was shrill and chilling, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “Look at this! I’m the eleventh peak master of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll regret it!”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d have to flaunt his status like this. He just hoped this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity hesitate slightly, and he felt a glimmer of hope. “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just been unsealed, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. I can help you get acquainted. Let’s go to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was desperately hoping that this dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will now belong to me…” The dark entity let out a cold laugh, its form spreading like a giant bird’s wings as it lunged at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck! Don’t think I’m an easy target!”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to negotiate now. He had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the dark entity several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape!” The dark entity dodged, its black mist-formed face twisted into a grotesque expression, but it seemed quite pleased with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it toward the dark entity.

The Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the dark entity.

But none of it seemed to affect the dark entity. Its black claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gain for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep gashes appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan gasped for breath, his eyes wary as he stared at the dark entity, his face filled with anger.

“You’re forcing my hand,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the dark entity. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with a mocking glint.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break all those rules. Though the process would be excruciating, compared to losing his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot shot out in an awkward motion, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick—either it would render him incapacitated, or it would unleash all his latent potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing mockingly.

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes locked on the dark entity. Then, he pulled out a pill labeled “Big Fan Ge” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was second to none. If he could do this to himself, who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, now he had no regrets. If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be on his knees.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An immense power surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Huh?” The dark entity was surprised. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant ant before it had undergone a transformation.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with blinding speed, causing the dark entity’s expression to change.

If he couldn’t kill the dark entity this time, Lin Fan would have to admit defeat.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Sss…”

A wisp of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s form kept fading into the void.

“Hehehe, I don’t know what you did to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise had faded, replaced once again by a mocking tone.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The body of the man before it was perfect.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the dark entity’s voice was tinged with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. The dark entity was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been for nothing.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan said, finally giving up. The boost from the Groin Kick had worn off, and the effects of the Big Fan Ge pill had been exhausted in his earlier outburst.

“Hehehe…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had shown off and met his match.

It was over…

Its initial shock faded, replaced once again by amusement.

Over the past thousand years, its true body had been destroyed. Now, it needed a new vessel—and this man’s body was perfect.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, right?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, what should he do?

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist slowly seeped out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure took shape, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound wildly.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Hehehe…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second,” Lin Fan said, quickly rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out a token. “Look at this! I am the master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He wondered if this evil spirit would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the evil spirit seemed momentarily stunned, giving him a glimmer of hope. “Actually, we can be good friends. You just broke free, so you must be unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get used to the environment. Let’s go to the city later, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future lives.”

Lin Fan felt like a fool saying this, but he hoped the evil spirit was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will belong to me…” The evil spirit laughed coldly, its form spreading like a giant bird of prey, lunging at Lin Fan.

“You’re pushing your luck! Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no way to reconcile now; he had to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung it fiercely at the evil spirit.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the evil spirit dodged, its black mist-formed face twisted in a sinister grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Tidal Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His true energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it toward the evil spirit.

The Tidal Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, something he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the evil spirit.

But none of it seemed to affect the evil spirit. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep wounds on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the evil spirit, his face filled with rage.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The evil spirit floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break all these rules. Though the process was painful, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick either rendered one powerless or unleashed all their potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The evil spirit circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the evil spirit. He then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself; who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing his own peach in the Holy Demon Sect before, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked, he would have been done for.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Lin Fan was about to unleash explosive power.

As the Big Fan Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid, an infinite force filling his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Huh?” The evil spirit was surprised. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant human before it had changed.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, startling the evil spirit.

If he couldn’t kill the evil spirit this time, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Whoosh…”

A black mist dissipated, and the evil spirit’s form reformed, though somewhat unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak now. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The evil spirit’s form kept vanishing into the void.

“Hehehe, though I don’t know how you boosted your strength, it’s still not enough,” the evil spirit’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced by the same mocking expression.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. The human before it was perfect.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the evil spirit’s voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt helpless. He had truly run out of options. The evil spirit was too strong. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan gave up resisting. The boost from the Groin Kick had faded, and the Big Fan Pill’s effects had been exhausted in his earlier burst.

“Hehehe…”

In an instant, the evil spirit enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had met his match.

It was over…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have obtained this map, would he?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he was at a loss for what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger, the flickering runes gradually extinguishing, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“It’s out… I am finally out…” A shadowy figure formed, devoid of flesh, as if made entirely of smoke.

Within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart race.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the black mist. “What do you want?”

“Kehehe…” The black mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a moment,” Lin Fan said, frantically rummaging through his backpack. He then pulled out a token. “Look at this! I am the master of the Eleventh Peak of the Saint Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare harm me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He wondered if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity seemed slightly stunned, and he felt a glimmer of hope. “Actually, we can be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you must be unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll quickly get accustomed. Let’s head to the city, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

Lin Fan felt like a fool saying this, but he hoped the dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

“Kehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything you have, will belong to me…” The dark entity laughed coldly, its figure swooping towards Lin Fan like a giant bird.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you think I’m an easy target?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no chance of reconciliation now; he had to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the dark entity multiple times.

“Haha, you can’t escape,” the dark entity dodged, its smoky face twisted in a grotesque grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan poured all his energy into this strike, a powerful palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, aimed directly at the dark entity.

Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, and he had never neglected it. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he unleashed everything he had, attacking the dark entity with all his might.

But none of it seemed to affect the dark entity. Its shadowy claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong, not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, leaving five deep wounds on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened as if infected by the dark mist.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the dark entity, his face filled with rage.

“You forced me into this,” Lin Fan growled, his eyes bloodshot. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The dark entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break these rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural direction, striking his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, waves of pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick either incapacitated the user or unleashed all their potential.

“Are you self-harming?” the dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the dark entity. He then pulled out a “Big Fan Pill” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm himself; who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches in the Saint Demon Sect before, now he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked himself, he would have been done for.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash explosive power.

As the Big Fan Pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing quickened, and an immense force surged through his body, giving him the urge to break through the heavens.

“Hmm…” The dark entity was surprised, noticing the sudden change in the seemingly insignificant human before it.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with incredible speed, catching the dark entity off guard.

If this strike didn’t kill the dark entity, Lin Fan would accept his fate.

He had endured immense pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, there was nothing else he could do.

“Whoosh…”

A cloud of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form reformed, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak; the pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe repeatedly, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Kehehe, I don’t know what you did to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough,” the dark entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced by the same mocking expression.

Its true form had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new body. The human before it was a perfect fit.

“Come, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me,” the dark entity’s voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt helpless. He had tried everything, but the dark entity was too strong. Even after all he had done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he destined to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan gave up, the effects of the Groin Kick gone, and the Big Fan Pill’s energy depleted from his earlier outburst.

“Kehehe…”

The dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. Showing off to someone stronger leads to disaster.

It’s over…

Was this truly the end?

“Brother, give me a break. I swear I’ll never show off again,” Lin Fan finally gave up. The boost from the Testicle Kick had worn off, and the effects of “Big Fan Ge” had been used up in his last burst of power.

“Hehehe…”

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Why the hell did he have to resort to robbery? If he hadn’t robbed, he wouldn’t have gotten this map, would he?

Now, trapped in this perilous situation, he had no idea what to do.

The aura from the ancient altar grew stronger by the second. The flickering runes gradually dimmed, and a black mist began to seep out from the altar.

“I’m out… I’m finally out…” A shadowy figure emerged, formless, as if made entirely of smoke.

From within the black mist, a pair of glowing eyes fixed on Lin Fan, making his heart pound uncontrollably.

Lin Fan took a few steps back, his face tense as he stared at the mist. “What do you want?”

“Hehehe…” The mist’s voice was eerie, sending shivers down Lin Fan’s spine.

“Wait a second.” Lin Fan immediately rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a token. “Look at this! I’m the master of the Eleventh Peak of the Holy Sect, the number one sect in the world. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Fan felt like crying. He never thought he’d resort to flaunting his status one day. He didn’t know if this dark entity would be intimidated and let him go.

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed the dark entity hesitate slightly, which gave him a glimmer of confidence. “Actually, we could be good friends. You’ve just broken free, so you’re probably unfamiliar with this place. With me guiding you, you’ll get accustomed to the environment quickly. Let’s head to the city later, find a teahouse, sit down calmly, have some tea, and discuss our future.”

As he spoke, Lin Fan felt like an idiot, but he was hoping that this dark entity was just as foolish.

Unfortunately… it wasn’t.

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect you to have such a status. Your body, everything about you, will belong to me now…” The dark entity let out a cold laugh and lunged at Lin Fan like a bird of prey.

“You’re pushing your luck. Do you really think I’m an easy target?”

Lin Fan was furious. There was no chance of reconciliation now. He had no choice but to fight.

With the Eternal Axe in hand, Lin Fan swung at the dark entity several times.

“Haha, you can’t escape.” The dark entity dodged, its misty face twisted in a sinister grin, clearly pleased with its prey.

“Wave Force, Thirteen Layers!”

Lin Fan was going all out. His energy surged, and with a palm strike imbued with thirteen layers of force, he slammed it toward the dark entity.

The Wave Force was one of Lin Fan’s close-combat techniques, something he had never neglected. Now, in this life-or-death moment, he poured everything he had into it, unleashing all his techniques like a tidal wave against the dark entity.

But none of it seemed to affect the entity. Its dark claw pierced through the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

“Ding, ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +500,000.”

“Your body is quite strong. Not bad, not bad.”

The claw struck Lin Fan, and aside from the experience gained for his ‘Indestructible Demon Body,’ five deep gashes appeared on his chest. The flesh around the wounds churned, blackened, as if infected by the dark energy.

Lin Fan panted heavily, his eyes wary as he glared at the dark entity, his face filled with rage.

“You’re forcing my hand.” Lin Fan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at the dark entity. This was the second time he felt utterly powerless.

The dark entity’s strength far exceeded anything Lin Fan had anticipated.

The entity floated in the air, its glowing eyes filled with mockery.

A person can’t lift themselves by their own hair.

Nor can they kick themselves in the groin.

But Lin Fan was about to break all those rules. Though the process was excruciating, compared to his life, it was nothing.

“Groin Kick…”

With a roar, Lin Fan’s right foot twisted in an unnatural way and struck his own groin.

The force was evenly distributed.

Lin Fan knelt on the ground, the pain radiating from his groin.

The Groin Kick was a desperate move—either it would render him useless or unleash all his potential.

“Are you self-harming?” The dark entity circled Lin Fan, laughing eerily.

Lin Fan endured the pain, his eyes locked on the entity. Then, he pulled out a pill labeled “Big Fan Ge” from his backpack and swallowed it.

When it came to ruthlessness, Lin Fan was unmatched. He dared to harm even himself. Who could compare?

If he had regretted stealing peaches back in the Holy Demon Sect, he now felt no remorse. In this situation, he had no regrets.

If he hadn’t kicked himself, he’d be kneeling in defeat.

Compared to his life, this pain was nothing.

Now, Lin Fan was ready to unleash an explosive output.

As the pill took effect, Lin Fan’s breathing grew rapid. An immense power surged through his body, giving him the urge to shatter the heavens.

“Huh?” The dark entity was surprised. It suddenly noticed that the insignificant figure before it had undergone a drastic change.

“Slash!”

Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he swung his axe with blinding speed, causing the dark entity’s expression to shift.

If he couldn’t kill the entity this time, Lin Fan would have to admit defeat.

He had endured unimaginable pain to boost his strength. If it still wasn’t enough, then there was truly no hope.

“Ssshh…”

A wisp of black mist dissipated, and the dark entity’s form reappeared, though it seemed unstable. “What did you do?”

Lin Fan couldn’t speak. The pain was overwhelming, and he was barely holding on by sheer willpower.

He swung his axe again and again, the explosive force shattering the void and shaking the entire hall.

The dark entity’s figure kept vanishing into the void.

“Hehehe, I don’t know what you did to boost your strength, but it’s still not enough.” The entity’s voice echoed from all directions.

Its initial surprise faded, replaced once more by a mocking tone.

Its true body had been destroyed over the millennia, and now it needed a new vessel. The body before it was perfect.

“Come on, unleash your full power. At that moment, your body will belong to me.” The entity’s voice was filled with excitement.

Lin Fan felt utterly helpless. He had no more tricks up his sleeve. The dark entity was too powerful. Even after all he’d done to himself, it was useless. His groin kick had been in vain.

Was he really going to die here?

“Big brother, give me a chance. I’ll never show off again.” Lin Fan had given up. The boost from the Groin Kick had worn off, and the effects of the “Big Fan Ge” pill had been exhausted in his last burst of energy.

“Hehehe…”

In an instant, the dark entity enveloped Lin Fan, black mist seeping into his mouth and nose.

If you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get wet. He had shown off and met his match.

It was over…

You can’t walk by the river all your life without getting your feet wet. When you show off, someone stronger will always appear.

It was over…
