Chapter 495: This radiance, this aura, unparalleled in the world.

“Reckless! Utterly reckless! Those who dared to speak to me like this have already been devoured. You, a mere member of the Sword Race, dare to be so impudent in front of me. It seems you’re really tired of living,” the Guzu commander-in-chief’s face twisted with fury, his eyes filled with such ferocity that they seemed ready to devour Lin Fan whole.

“I’m not from the Sword Race, old man. I’m a Human. Don’t assume everyone who wields a sword is from the Sword Race, you idiot,” Lin Fan calmly looked at the Guzu commander-in-chief in the air, clearly not taking him seriously at all.

Mid-stage Qingtian realm.

Undeniably strong, but for Lin Fan these days, it was simply not impressive. Perhaps slightly troublesome, but “troublesome” itself was a relative concept.

“A Human… Haha! That’s the race that has been hiding like turtles for ten thousand years. How ridiculous!” The Guzu commander-in-chief sneered contemptuously, then his expression turned cold, “You killed my Guzu kin. You’ll die here today.”

“Heh, anyone can shout threats. Come on then, show me everything you’ve got. Don’t regret it when you’re dying,” Lin Fan scoffed, then provocatively beckoned toward the Guzu commander-in-chief.

“Hmph, killing you doesn’t require a butcher’s knife.” The Guzu commander-in-chief’s face darkened as a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.

“Shaking the Mountains!”

In an instant, the Guzu commander-in-chief transformed into a streak of light like a rainbow, rushing toward Lin Fan.

“Be careful…” Li Tianquan, watching this scene, shouted in alarm.

“You insignificant human, I, the commander-in-chief, will crush you into pieces,” the Guzu commander roared, his entire body wrapped in a jet-black glow, tearing through space itself.

Explosive sonic booms echoed across the heavens and earth.

“Heh, a direct confrontation? You’re just asking for humiliation.” Seeing the Guzu commander-in-chief’s attack style, Lin Fan smiled, then shouted furiously and shot upward to meet the Guzu commander head-on.

“Ha! You weakling Human actually dares to challenge a Guzu in physical combat? You don’t know the meaning of death!” The Guzu commander laughed contemptuously, as if witnessing the most absurd sight imaginable.

The physical bodies of the Guzu race were naturally powerful, becoming even more astonishingly formidable through later development.

Even the Jingu race, known for their physical prowess among the Great Thousand Races, had to admire the Guzu’s naturally indestructible bodies.

Take “Gengu,” one of the Eight Supreme Beings from ancient times, for example. Even when his body was cut into pieces, he remained alive, each piece still containing his consciousness.

This ability was something even Lin Fan at his current level had not yet achieved.

It could be described as ghostly and divine.

However, Lin Fan did not hold the Guzu commander-in-chief’s physical body in high regard.

“Everlasting Indestructible” had already been upgraded by Lin Fan into an extremely powerful physical cultivation method. When cultivated to the peak, it offered countless marvelous applications, far surpassing what this minor Guzu commander could ever match.

“You’re asking for death,” Lin Fan sneered, instantly activating the “Blood Sea Cultivation Technique.” His blood and qi surged powerfully throughout his body, emitting waves of red light around him.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion erupted.

“This is impossible…” The Guzu commander-in-chief had assumed this Human would be an easy kill, but upon contact, he was horrified to discover that this Human was like a colossal mountain, an irresistible force of a thousand jun, crashing toward him.

Bang!

Under Lin Fan’s overwhelming impact, the Guzu commander’s body deformed continuously, his chest caved in, and a mouthful of foul-smelling blood sprayed out.

“How can you, a Human, possess such a powerful physical body? Impossible! Absolutely impossible…” The Guzu commander’s massive body crashed heavily to the ground, his eyes filled with terror.

He couldn’t believe that a Human could be so powerful, that even the Guzu race’s proud physical body was no match for this Human.

“Hmph, challenging me in physical combat? That’s just showing off your ignorance in front of an expert,” Lin Fan, having landed a successful strike, sneered coldly.

The power of “Everlasting Indestructible” was not limited to this alone. Combined with the “Blood Sea Cultivation Technique,” it became unparalleled under heaven.

At his peak, Lin Fan could confidently smash this entire world apart using only his physical body.

At this moment, Li Tianquan had already been shocked to the core. He couldn’t believe that among the Great Thousand Races, there was actually someone capable of surpassing a Guzu in physical strength.

This was truly terrifying.

Back in the Star Realm, Li Tianquan had been a dominant overlord. Although he had always cultivated Star Techniques, which also channeled star power to strengthen the physical body, even with such enhancements, he couldn’t match the natural physical strength of the Guzu race.

Yet now, someone was able to match the Guzu in physical combat. How astonishing was that?

“How exactly did he cultivate?” Looking at Lin Fan, who stood there radiantly, Li Tianquan’s heart was filled with confusion.

While the path of physical cultivation was indeed immensely powerful, the suffering endured along the way was unimaginable for ordinary people.

Li Tianquan had once seen someone attempting physical cultivation, only to have his body rot midway, his mind collapse, and eventually die a painful death from excruciating agony.

“Senior Brother, he’s so strong,” the three junior apprentices, watching the Human who had saved them, were astonished to see him suppress the Guzu.

At the same time, they were also overjoyed in their hearts because this meant they had been rescued and would not die here.

The two female disciples from the Star Pavilion were deeply captivated by the radiant Lin Fan.

The collision of their physical bodies just now had stirred ripples in their hearts.

In their eyes, how masculine, domineering, and powerful Lin Fan appeared.

“Damn you! How dare you do this to me! I’ll tear you into pieces!” The Guzu commander roared furiously, his sunken chest suddenly puffing out again, returning to normal.

“Cursed Human! You’ve truly enraged me. Today I will show you what happens when you provoke the Guzu race.”

In an instant, a sinister aura suddenly erupted from his body.

A bead shot forth from the Guzu commander.

As soon as this bead flew out, Lin Fan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

It wasn’t that this bead was particularly powerful, but its aura was very strange. Because Lin Fan had always been exploring the true art of weapon forging, he was especially sensitive to this kind of aura.

“This is a treasure? How can a Guzu commander possess a real treasure?” When Li Tianquan saw the bead, his mind was greatly shaken, his face turning pale.

“Be careful! The bead in that Guzu’s hand is extremely powerful!” Li Tianquan shouted desperately.

“Haha! Didn’t expect you to recognize it! Let me tell you, your Great Thousand Races cannot forge real treasures because the divine will of Gusheng World protects the Guzu race. What you forge are just trash, complete garbage in our Guzu eyes,” the Guzu commander laughed maniacally.

“Jiejie! This bead in my hand was forged from the resentment of 999 Great Thousand Race cultivators. And you, this Human, will be the thousandth. This Soul Devouring Demon Bead will achieve true transformation. Hahaha…”

Lin Fan’s heart tightened. What the hell did that mean?

A real treasure? Was this really what the Guzu possessed?

And the Great Thousand Races couldn’t forge such things—was it really because of the divine will of Gusheng World restricting them?

But if that were true, then how about his “Demon City” and “Flying Heaven”?

“Whatever, no time to think about it. Let’s subdue him first.”
