“Are you stupid, or do you only know these few phrases? Not just a scoundrel, but also foolish and insignificant. Can’t you come up with more words? What, are you not convinced? If you have the guts, show your true form and face me one-on-one.” Lin Fan was provocatively taunting, completely disregarding the Heavenly Dao.
“Why aren’t you speaking? The world is vast, but my heart is the greatest. I’m giving you a chance to call for reinforcements to gang up on me. If you don’t dare, then get the hell out of here. What Heavenly Dao, what divine wrath? You’re just a piece of trash.”
Huang Ling’er was utterly dumbfounded, her eyes, which seemed to see through everything, stared blankly at Lin Fan.
“This is the Heavenly Dao…” Huang Ling’er muttered in disbelief.
The fear she had felt earlier had completely vanished.
“What can the Heavenly Dao do? It’s nothing special.” Lin Fan curled his lip, his face full of disdain, while still doubting whether this entity was truly the Heavenly Dao.
After all, everything indicated that there might be something more going on that they were unaware of.
“Human, you are courting death…” The voice from the void echoed again, and half the sky turned red, like a blazing sunset.
This was the wrath of the Heavenly Dao, staining half the sky.
“Yes, I’m courting death. If you have the guts, come out. Can you stop just talking big? Heavenly Dao? Pah, you’re just a coward, thinking you’re the best in the world. In my eyes, you’re not even as good as those evil spirits.” Lin Fan mocked.
Lin Fan had read countless novels and was well aware of the typical bosses in them—arrogant and intolerant of any disrespect.
But this one was all talk, with no real action. Even the so-called Heavenly Eye earlier seemed unimpressive to Lin Fan.
All show, no substance.
Still, Lin Fan remained cautious.
The main reason for his bold provocation was that he had seen through this.
If the other party could truly crush him, he wouldn’t have been given the chance to act so recklessly. He would have been struck down long ago.
But Lin Fan wasn’t afraid of this fake Heavenly Dao playing possum. Since he had thoroughly offended it, he was prepared. If he couldn’t win, he could always hide in the “Heaven and Earth Furnace” to lay low.
“Human, cease your insolence.” The booming voice from the void echoed across the heavens, with violent thunderbolts flashing incessantly.
“I’m being insolent, so what? Come and hit me.” Lin Fan taunted with a punchable expression, enough to provoke anyone with a shred of pride.
In the unseen void, two forces were clashing, but the power of the seven-colored light was nearing its end, and it might soon dissipate.
The stronger force, however, continued to roar.
“Bastard, how dare you insult me? Heavenly Dao, you need not resist anymore. Your doom is sealed.”
“No, you can never replace me.”
…
Lin Fan, seeing no reaction from the void, was somewhat speechless. What kind of boss was this? He had provoked it right at its doorstep, yet there was no response. It was utterly disappointing.
“Are you there? If you don’t dare to come out, don’t waste my time. My time is precious.” Lin Fan cursed into the void.
“Human, you are too insolent. I am the Heavenly Dao, and you will face divine retribution.” The voice from the void returned, filled with boundless fury.
“Ha, you idiot, I already told you, I’m an insolent person. And you call yourself the Heavenly Dao? You’re just a coward, a waste… not even as good as trash.”
Lin Fan continued to hurl insults without restraint, hoping to provoke the other party into coming out to suppress him again.
The Heavenly Dao will refined by the “Heaven and Earth Furnace” seemed quite useful to Lin Fan, but he only had two strands of it now, which wasn’t enough to glean any useful information.
After cursing for a while, Lin Fan’s throat was dry. To him, this Heavenly Dao was just a coward.
Meanwhile, in the unseen void, the Heavenly Dao, humiliated by Lin Fan, was seething with rage.
A mere human dared to insult him? It was utterly despicable.
“Boom…”
Just as Lin Fan was about to stop, the void suddenly changed.
A massive force gathered in the void.
“Oh, looks like it’s coming out.” Lin Fan was delighted and looked up. Was this guy finally unable to endure his insults and coming out to fight him?
“Bastard human, how dare you insult the Heavenly Dao? Today, you will pay the price.” The voice from the void roared.
A massive shadow began to form in the void, composed of countless forces—an avatar of the fake Heavenly Dao.
In an instant, the shadow took shape—a majestic giant, its overwhelming aura filling the void, far more powerful than the previous Heavenly Eye.
“Human, you have thoroughly enraged the Heavenly Dao.” The giant spoke, its palm crushing the void.
Lin Fan, seeing this, was exhilarated. “Haha, good… bring it on!”
Lin Fan roared, his aura exploding as he leaped into the air, charging toward the giant in the void.
He condensed the chains of rules into his body, making his physical strength comparable to the “Ancient Ones.” In Lin Fan’s view, even if all the “Ancient Ones” combined, he could still fight them.
“Boom…”
Lin Fan’s fist shattered the void, instantly obliterating the descending palm without any resistance.
“Impossible…” The voice from the void was filled with disbelief. He hadn’t expected this human to be so strong.
“Nothing is impossible… All show, no substance. Did you think being big makes you invincible? Today, I’ll show you that even the small can have great power.” Lin Fan roared, and a storm of power erupted around him.
“There’s a palm technique that descends from the heavens. Do you know what it’s called? Today, I’ll tell you—it’s called the Buddha’s Palm. Take this!” Lin Fan, floating above the giant’s head, slammed his palm down.
“Boom…”
The giant, formed by the fake Heavenly Dao, plummeted to the ground, its knees bending as it knelt.
The fake Heavenly Dao in the void stared in disbelief. He hadn’t expected this human to be so monstrous. But he couldn’t unleash more power, or the true Heavenly Dao might seize the opportunity to counterattack, rendering all his previous efforts futile.
“Pathetic. I didn’t expect it to be so weak. It’s a complete stomp.” Lin Fan sneered as he watched the scene.
“Heaven and Earth Furnace.”
In an instant, the giant was absorbed into the “Heaven and Earth Furnace” and refined.
“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Obtained one strand of Heavenly Dao will.”
…
“Tsk, I thought it would be more impressive, but it’s just so-so.” Lin Fan looked disdainful, then turned to the void. “Are you coming or not? I said you could call for reinforcements, but the things you’ve brought out are all show, no substance. Utterly useless.”
…
At this moment, the void was silent, as if it had completely disappeared.
Lin Fan waited for a while, then shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face. It seemed to have left.
This further confirmed his suspicions.
This entity was likely devouring the Heavenly Dao, and perhaps that was why it couldn’t spare more power.
What kind of being could even devour the Heavenly Dao? Truly terrifying.
“Why aren’t you speaking now? The sky and earth are vast, but my heart is the vastest. I give you the chance to bring people to gang up on me. If you dare not, then get lost! What kind of Heavenly Dao is this? I see you as nothing but trash.”
Huang Ling’er was now stunned, staring at Lin Fan with eyes that seemed to see through everything, yet now appeared dull and lifeless.
“This is the Heavenly Dao…” Huang Ling’er murmured in disbelief.
The previous sense of fear had completely vanished.
“What about the Heavenly Dao? It’s nothing special anyway.” Lin Fan smirked disdainfully, deeply suspicious about whether this really was the true Heavenly Dao.
After all, various clues suggested there must be something unknown to them.
“Human, you’re seeking your own doom…” The voice from the void resounded again, half the sky turning red like fiery clouds.
This was the Heavenly Dao’s fury, reddening half the heavens.
“Yeah, I’m seeking my own doom. If you’ve got guts, come out! Why don’t you stop with the empty threats? Heavenly Dao? Hmph, you’re nothing but a cowardly turtle hiding its head, thinking you’re the strongest just because of a little power. Compared to those dark and evil beings, you don’t even measure up in my eyes.” Lin Fan mocked.
Lin Fan had read countless novels, so how could he not understand the bosses within them? Each one had a heart higher than the heavens, intolerant of even a bit of disrespect.
Yet this one was all talk and no action, and even that so-called Heavenly Eye from before, in Lin Fan’s view, was nothing special.
All flash, no substance.
Nevertheless, Lin Fan remained highly vigilant towards this opponent.
The main reason Lin Fan dared to provoke so recklessly was that he had seen through this truth.
If the opponent really had the power to crush him, then there would have been no room for such audacity. He would have been struck down already.
Still, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid of this fake Heavenly Dao pretending to be weak while secretly being strong. Since he had already offended it thoroughly, he had prepared himself accordingly—if it came down to it and he couldn’t win, he would simply retreat into the “Heavenly Earth Crucible” temporarily to avoid the storm.
“Human, dare not be so disrespectful.” The thunderous voice from the void echoed throughout the heavens, violent lightning flashing continuously.
“That’s exactly what I’m doing—come and get me if you can!” Lin Fan provocatively taunted with a face begging for a beating. Anyone with a shred of pride would be unable to endure such provocation.
High above in the ethereal void…
Two forces were locked in battle, but the seven-colored radiant force was nearing exhaustion and might soon vanish completely.
Meanwhile, the more powerful force continued to rumble on.
“Despicable creature, daring to humiliate this throne so much! Heavenly Dao, you need not resist anymore; your doom has already been decided.”
“No, you will never replace me.”
…
Lin Fan looked at the silent void with some exasperation. What kind of boss was this? He had already provoked it right to its doorstep, yet it showed no reaction at all. It was truly disappointing.
“Are you even there anymore? If you don’t dare to come out, then don’t waste my time. My time is precious.” Lin Fan shouted toward the void.
“Human, you are too disrespectful! I am the Heavenly Dao, and you will surely face divine punishment!” The voice from the void returned once more, filled with boundless fury.
“Hmph, you idiot, I already told you—I’m just a reckless guy. And you call yourself the Heavenly Dao? You’re nothing but a cowardly turtle, a useless piece of trash… not even worthy of being called trash.”
Lin Fan continued his relentless verbal assault, holding nothing back, hoping the opponent would be unable to endure his provocation and emerge to suppress him again.
The Heavenly Dao’s will refined from the “Heavenly Earth Crucible” actually had significant use in Lin Fan’s eyes. However, right now he only possessed two strands of Heavenly Dao’s will, insufficient to extract anything useful.
After a long string of curses, Lin Fan’s mouth was dry. In his eyes, this Heavenly Dao was simply a coward.
Yet at this moment, high in the ethereal void, the Heavenly Dao that had been humiliated by Lin Fan was burning with rage, furious beyond words.
A mere insignificant human dared to insult him like this—it was simply unforgivable.
“Boom…”
Just as Lin Fan was about to give up, a sudden change occurred in the void.
A massive force gathered in the void.
“Ah, looks like it’s finally coming out.” Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy as he looked up. It seemed this fellow could no longer endure his insults and was coming out to fight him to the death?
“Despicable human, you dare humiliate this Heavenly Dao so much? Today, you will pay the price.” The furious voice thundered from the void.
A gigantic phantom formed in the void, composed of countless forces gathered together. One could say it was a manifestation of the false Heavenly Dao.
In an instant, the phantom was fully formed—it was a giant of awe-inspiring majesty, its overwhelming aura filling the void, far more powerful than the previous Heavenly Eye.
“Human, you have truly enraged this Heavenly Dao.” The giant spoke, its palm crushing through the void.
At this moment, Lin Fan, watching the spectacle before him, felt his blood boiling. “Haha, good… come forth!”
With a roar, Lin Fan unleashed his full might, leaping up to strike the giant in the void.
He condensed the Chains of Law into his physical form, his body’s strength rivaling that of an “Ancient Eternal,” and in Lin Fan’s view, even if all the “Ancient Eternals” were fused into one, he still had the strength to fight.
“Boom…”
Lin Fan’s fist shattered the void, instantly breaking apart the palm descending from the heavens without the slightest resistance.
“Impossible…” The voice from the void expressed disbelief, unable to believe this human could be so powerful.
“There’s nothing impossible… all flash, no substance. Did you think size alone makes you invincible? Today, I’ll teach you that even a small fry can pack a mighty punch.” Lin Fan roared furiously, and suddenly a storm of power erupted around him.
“There’s a palm technique that comes from the sky. Want to know what it’s called? Today, I’ll tell you—it’s called the Buddha’s Palm of Infinite Compassion. I strike…” In the void, Lin Fan floated above the giant’s head, then suddenly slammed his palm downward.
“Boom…”
The false Heavenly Dao’s giant form fell rapidly toward the ground, and with a thunderous crash, its knees bent, collapsing to its knees.
The false Heavenly Dao in the void stared in disbelief at what had just occurred. It never expected this human to be so powerful. But it couldn’t expend any more strength, or else the true Heavenly Dao would seize the opportunity to counterattack, rendering all its previous efforts in vain.
“Pathetic. I originally thought you’d be tough, but you’re nothing but a pushover—utterly crushed.” Lin Fan sneered coldly at the sight before him.
“Heavenly Earth Crucible!”
In an instant, Lin Fan drew the giant into his “Heavenly Earth Crucible” for refinement.
“Ding! Congratulations, refinement successful.”
“One strand of Heavenly Dao’s will obtained.”
…
“Ah, I originally thought you’d be impressive, but you turned out to be nothing.” Lin Fan wore a look of disdain as he gazed toward the void. “Are you coming again? I told you, I’m fine with you seeking help. But the thing you made this time is just all show and no substance—it’s utterly useless.”
…
At this moment, the void was silent, as if it had completely vanished.
After waiting for a while, Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. It seemed it had already left.
At the same time, this further confirmed his suspicions.
This opponent was likely in the process of devouring the Heavenly Dao and, perhaps because of that, couldn’t spare more strength.
What kind of being could even devour the Heavenly Dao? It was truly terrifying.
