Chapter 501: Self-Destruct, My Brother

Lin Fan never expected that Long Xuan’s mid-grade Dao artifact would be this powerful, offering no opportunity at all. Right now, Long Xuan was fully focused on purging the effects of “Da Fange.” If he didn’t seize this moment, once Long Xuan eliminated the medicinal power, there would be no chance for Lin Fan to escape.

“Da Fange” truly lived up to its reputation as a divine pill. Even if you were a mighty expert at the level of Huang Tianwei, what could you do? You still had to go all out to counter it.

As long as he could escape safely, he must enhance the power of “Da Fange” so that even a trace of it would cause total collapse.

At this moment, Long Xuan stood there, his body transforming into a half-human, half-dragon form. His long hair flowed like cascading silk, flailing in all directions. With each opening of his mouth, he seemed to swallow the sun and moon, drawing power from the Dragon Realm, transforming into a celestial dragon that surged forth.

This fellow was using external forces to remove the effects of “Da Fange.” The various techniques he employed left Lin Fan astonished.

“Kid, you’re quite impressive. You’ve forced me to this point. I admit I underestimated you,” Long Xuan said while still keeping a wary eye on Lin Fan. In his eyes, this young man was strange and cunning; he couldn’t be sure what other tricks he might pull.

“Hmph…” Lin Fan snorted coldly, withdrawing the Eternal Axe into his backpack. “Traitor Long Xuan, don’t act so noble in front of me. I’m not afraid of death.”

“One Finger of Annihilation.”

“Flower-Brushing, Orchid-Plucking Finger.”

Though Lin Fan couldn’t move his body, he had long since mastered these two supreme techniques to an extremely high level. Every part of his body could launch an attack.

A crisp sound rang out, crackling and popping, as vast power surged against the “Dragon Binding Whip.” When Lin Fan resisted, the Thunder Dragon immediately released a surge of thunder energy coursing through his body, a destructive force suppressing Lin Fan’s will.

“Stop struggling. The Dragon Binding Whip isn’t something you can break free from. Even the celestial dragons of the Dragon Realm would become crawling worms under this whip,” Long Xuan said, the crimson in his eyes gradually fading, indicating he had mostly purged the effects of “Da Fange.”

“You…” Lin Fan was nearly cursing in his heart. This damned bastard was truly despicable, using such a method to suppress him.

If only his power were a bit higher, he could shatter this so-called “Dragon Binding Whip” into pieces.

The more Lin Fan struggled, the tighter the Thunder Dragon coiled around him, like a tightening curse, completely pinning him down.

“Heaven and Earth Dharma Body!”

At this moment, Long Xuan roared, and a golden dragon a hundred zhang long appeared, radiating a domineering golden light, swallowing the sacred spiritual energy of heaven and earth, entwining around Long Xuan’s half-human, half-dragon form.

Long Xuan was now fully focused on expelling the strange energy within him, simultaneously feeling shocked. What exactly was this thing that possessed such power?

He was at the upper level of Huang Tianwei, only two steps away from attaining the Dao of Tianwei, becoming immortal and omnipotent, able to pluck stars from the sky.

Yet now, this mysterious force forced him to fight with all his might, which was simply inconceivable.

“Good, very good,” Long Xuan suddenly laughed loudly, his words making little sense.

Oh my, judging from this situation, this guy was about to completely eliminate the effects of “Da Fange.” If he still couldn’t succeed now, then it would truly be a tragedy.

Why was he so unlucky to encounter such a freak?

If the power of “Da Fange” were just a bit stronger, he wouldn’t have ended up in this predicament.

“Fine…” At this moment, Lin Fan made a decision. Since things had come to this, he could only use that move.

“Hahaha…” Suddenly, Lin Fan let out a long, loud laugh.

“Kid, what are you laughing at?” Long Xuan looked at Lin Fan, who seemed helpless, feeling puzzled. He had become increasingly intrigued by this young man’s unpredictability.

“Laughing? Naturally, I’m laughing at you. You, a traitor serving the ancient clans, a disgrace among the myriad races, you actually ask me why I’m laughing?” Lin Fan stared straight at Long Xuan. No matter what, even if it came to a final confrontation, he wanted to leave behind a legend.

Long Xuan remained expressionless, not taking Lin Fan’s words to heart. In his view, these words were indeed true, but who could understand his true intentions?

“Death isn’t terrifying. What’s truly terrifying is living a life worse than death. You, a mighty expert of Huang Tianwei, groveling for survival under the authority of the ancient clans—it’s despicable.”

“If you want to take me back, forget it. Today, I’ll show you what the dignity of the human race is all about.” Lin Fan roared. In an instant, his entire body erupted with power, a violent force as if tearing through heaven and earth.

“What are you doing?” Seeing the power erupting from this human, Long Xuan was momentarily stunned, panic creeping into his heart.

“Hmph! Even if I die, I’ll take your Dragon Binding Whip with me. Explode!” Lin Fan roared. His body began to shatter, streams of energy bursting outward—this was all the power Lin Fan had stored within.

“Stop!” Long Xuan’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t expected this human to attempt self-destruction.

Lin Fan had never expected that Long Xuan’s mid-grade Dao artifact would be so formidable, leaving no room for any opportunity. Now, Long Xuan was fully focused on expelling the effects of the “Great Fan Ge” elixir. If Lin Fan didn’t seize this moment, once Long Xuan succeeded in purging the elixir’s power, escaping would be impossible.

The “Great Fan Ge” truly lived up to its reputation as a divine elixir. Even a powerhouse like Long Xuan, at the peak of the Desolate Heaven Realm, had to exert all his strength to counter it.

If Lin Fan could escape safely, he vowed to enhance the potency of the “Great Fan Ge” to a level where even a trace of it would cause utter collapse.

At this moment, Long Xuan stood there, his body transforming into a half-human, half-dragon form. His long hair flowed like a waterfall, swirling around him. With each breath, he seemed to inhale the sun and moon, drawing power from the Dragon Realm, manifesting as a celestial dragon that surged forward.

This guy was using external forces to expel the “Great Fan Ge” elixir’s effects, and the various methods he employed left Lin Fan utterly astonished.

“Young man, you’re quite impressive to have pushed me to this extent. I underestimated you,” Long Xuan said, his voice resonating as he kept a wary eye on Lin Fan. To him, this kid was both cunning and unpredictable, and he had no idea what other tricks Lin Fan might have up his sleeve.

“Hmph,” Lin Fan snorted coldly, stashing the Eternal Axe back into his pack. “Long Xuan, you traitor, don’t act all noble in front of me. I’m not afraid of death.”

“One Finger of Annihilation.”

“Flower-Touching, Chrysanthemum-Stroking Finger.”

Though Lin Fan’s body was immobilized, he had mastered these two ultimate techniques to a high level, allowing him to attack with any part of his body.

Crisp sounds echoed as a vast force collided with the “Dragon-Binding Whip.” As Lin Fan resisted, a thunderous energy erupted from the Thunder Dragon, coursing through his body, a destructive aura suppressing his will.

“Stop struggling. The Dragon-Binding Whip is not something you can break free from. Even a celestial dragon from the Dragon Realm would be reduced to a crawling insect under its power,” Long Xuan said, the crimson in his eyes gradually fading, indicating that he had mostly expelled the “Great Fan Ge” elixir.

“You…” Lin Fan was seething internally, cursing this despicable bastard for using such underhanded tactics to restrain him.

If only his strength were a bit higher, he could have shattered this so-called “Dragon-Binding Whip” into pieces.

The more Lin Fan struggled, the tighter the Thunder Dragon coiled around him, like a tightening curse, completely immobilizing him.

“Heaven and Earth Dharma Form!”

With a roar, Long Xuan summoned a hundred-foot-long golden dragon, radiating a domineering golden light, drawing power from the heavens and earth, coiling around his half-human, half-dragon form.

Long Xuan was now fully focused on expelling the strange force within him, simultaneously feeling a sense of awe. What kind of power could force him, a peak Desolate Heaven Realm expert, just two steps away from attaining the Heavenly Dao, to exert his full strength?

This inexplicable force was something he had to resist with all his might, which was utterly baffling.

“Good, very good,” Long Xuan laughed, his words seemingly nonsensical.

Damn it, it looks like this guy is almost done purging the “Great Fan Ge” elixir. If I don’t succeed soon, it’s going to be a real tragedy.

Why am I so unlucky to run into such a freak?

If the “Great Fan Ge” elixir were just a bit stronger, I wouldn’t be in this mess.

“Forget it…” Lin Fan thought to himself. Since it’s come to this, I have no choice but to use that move.

“Hahaha…” At that moment, Lin Fan suddenly let out a long, maniacal laugh.

“Kid, what are you laughing at?” Long Xuan, seeing Lin Fan seemingly helpless, was puzzled but also increasingly intrigued by this enigmatic youth.

“What am I laughing at? Naturally, I’m laughing at you, a traitor who serves the Ancient Clan, a disgrace to the myriad races. And you ask me what I’m laughing at?” Lin Fan stared directly at Long Xuan. No matter what, even if it meant his last stand, he would leave behind a legend.

Long Xuan remained calm, unbothered by Lin Fan’s words. To him, it was all true, but who could truly understand him?

“Death isn’t scary. What’s scary is living a life worse than death. You, a peak Desolate Heaven Realm expert, cowering under the Ancient Clan’s authority, is truly despicable.”

“You want to take me back? How could I let you have your way? Today, I’ll show you the dignity of the human race!” Lin Fan roared, and in an instant, his entire body erupted with a violent, earth-shattering force.

“What are you doing?” Long Xuan, seeing the power bursting from this human, was momentarily stunned, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

“Hmph, even if I die, I’ll take your Dragon-Binding Whip with me. Explode!” Lin Fan bellowed, his body beginning to crack, streams of energy surging out from within, all the power he had been holding back.

“Stop!” Long Xuan’s face turned pale. He hadn’t expected this human to resort to self-destruction.

“Haha, are you worried about your Dragon-Binding Whip? Too late!” Lin Fan glared at Long Xuan with a ferocious grin, his hair flying wildly.

Boom!

A brilliant light exploded, and the Thunder Dragon that had bound Lin Fan let out a final, agonized roar before being obliterated by the force.

Blood rained down, and the world seemed to grow dim.

In the void, there was no trace of Lin Fan or the so-called “Dragon-Binding Whip.”

“How could this happen…” Long Xuan stood frozen, his blood surging violently. He clutched his chest, a mouthful of blood spurting out.

Long Xuan couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed. His mind was in turmoil, the sacred energy within him clashing violently with the remnants of the “Great Fan Ge” elixir, causing his blood to churn.

“Why did you self-destruct? I had already guaranteed your safety…” Long Xuan’s heart trembled as he watched Lin Fan explode before him.

“Roar!” A dragon’s roar erupted as Long Xuan’s eyes turned crimson. He transformed into a massive dragon, soaring into the sky, his claws tearing through the void, venting his emotions.

“I… I forced him to his death.”

Long Xuan had only wanted to bring Lin Fan back, never expecting the human to be so fiercely unyielding.

At that moment, the world seemed to lose its color. Long Xuan raged uncontrollably before finally departing.

On the ground, a single drop of blood, as if imbued with life, lay quietly, waiting. Then, it seeped into the earth, traveling far into the distance.

Miles away.

“Rebirth from a Drop of Blood.”

The drop of blood, containing boundless life force, churned and expanded, forming a crimson human figure.

Nirvana Rebirth.

The crimson figure was none other than Lin Fan, reborn through the “Rebirth from a Drop of Blood” technique.

Boom!

A brilliant light erupted, and the Thunder Dragon binding Lin Fan roared fiercely. But in an instant, it was overwhelmed and destroyed by this force.

Blood splattered, and the sky and earth turned dim.

In the void, there was no longer any trace of Lin Fan or the so-called Dragon Binding Whip.

“How could this happen…” Long Xuan stood frozen, his internal energy violently surging. He clutched his chest with one hand and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Long Xuan couldn’t believe what he was seeing. His mind trembled, and the collision between his sacred spiritual energy and the power of “Da Fange” within his body caused his blood to churn violently.

“Why did you self-destruct? I had already promised your safety…” Long Xuan looked at Lin Fan’s self-destruction before his very eyes, his mind shaken.

“Roar…” A dragon’s roar burst forth. Long Xuan’s eyes turned red, his body shaking as he transformed into a giant dragon, soaring into the sky. With one claw strike, the void collapsed, releasing his inner emotions.

“I actually forced his death myself.”

Long Xuan had merely wanted to take Lin Fan back, but he never expected this human to be so fierce and resolute.

At this moment, the heavens dimmed, and Long Xuan raged wildly before finally leaving this place.

At this moment, on the earth below, a drop of blood seemed to possess a soul, quietly waiting. Then it sank into the ground and sped away toward the distance.

Who knows how many miles away.

“Blood Rebirth.”

This drop of blood contained infinite life force, continuously churning and then expanding, forming a blood-red figure.

Rebirth through Nirvana.

This blood-red figure was none other than Lin Fan reborn through the “Blood Rebirth” technique.
