“Little friend, no more Martial Killing Qi must be absorbed, or the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain will cease to exist.”
Just as Lin Fan was about to absorb the last remnants of the Martial Killing Qi in the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain, a voice echoed from an unknown direction.
“Who’s there?” Lin Fan’s spirit tightened. There was actually someone else within the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain who could remain undetected by him. Whoever it was, they certainly had some skill.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. Please, little friend, spare the last remaining Martial Killing Qi.” The voice came again, calm and emotionless.
Lin Fan remained alert, scanning the grayish space around him, yet seeing nothing.
But where had that voice come from? It was indeed strange.
“There’s barely any left anyway, and it’s not useful anymore. I might as well absorb it all.” Lin Fan had no idea who this person was. If he were the type to easily follow someone else’s orders, he probably wouldn’t have survived this long.
If this person truly wanted to protect the Martial Killing Qi, they wouldn’t have remained hidden until now.
When he was violently absorbing the Martial Killing Qi, they should have emerged to suppress him.
Clearly, the current situation indicated that this person couldn’t kill him at all. So why should he be afraid?
Moreover, although Lin Fan had gained something from entering the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain, he hadn’t obtained the main prize, which left him feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
“No… the Martial Killing Qi can regenerate on its own. Although it may take hundreds of years to fully recover, if you absorb the last strand of Martial Killing Qi completely, the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain will instantly collapse and disappear from the Ancient Saint Realm forever.” The voice spread, with a hint of urgency in its tone.
“If it collapses, then let it collapse. I came here and didn’t obtain a single treasure. If I leave empty-handed, how could I ever give up? Although the Martial Killing Qi isn’t a good thing, it can at least serve as some comfort for my heart.” Lin Fan also wanted to see how the mysterious figure would respond.
At this moment, the mysterious voice fell silent and did not speak immediately.
“If I give you a treasure, will you leave then?” The mysterious figure finally spoke.
“Fine, but if it’s just an ordinary item, I won’t be impressed.” Lin Fan hadn’t expected the mysterious figure to actually offer him a treasure.
However, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Whoever was offering the gift was either up to no good or had ulterior motives. Still, Lin Fan was curious to find out who this person really was.
Someone who could hide within the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain without being detected by him was, without a doubt, quite skilled.
“Little friend, you must not absorb the remaining aura of slaughter, or the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter will cease to exist.”
Just as Lin Fan was about to absorb the last remnants of the “aura of slaughter” in the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, a voice came from an unknown source.
“Who’s there?” Lin Fan’s mind tensed. There was actually someone else in the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, and they managed to remain undetected by him. Quite impressive.
“Who I am is not important. I only ask that you show mercy and spare the last of the slaughter aura,” the voice came again, calm and without a hint of fluctuation.
Lin Fan remained vigilant, scanning his surroundings. Apart from the hazy, gray space, there was nothing.
But where was this voice coming from? It was indeed strange.
“Well, there’s only a bit left anyway, and it’s of no use. Might as well absorb it all,” Lin Fan thought. He didn’t know who this person was, but if he were the type to easily heed others’ words, he probably wouldn’t have survived this long.
If this person truly wanted to preserve the “aura of slaughter,” they wouldn’t have remained hidden until now. When Lin Fan was voraciously absorbing the aura, they should have come out to stop him.
The current situation made it clear that this person couldn’t kill him, so why should he be afraid?
Moreover, although he had gained some benefits from entering the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, he hadn’t obtained the main prize, which left him somewhat dissatisfied.
“No… The aura of slaughter can regenerate on its own. Although it may take hundreds of years to fully recover, if you absorb the last strand, the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter will instantly collapse and vanish from the Ancient Saint Realm,” the voice spoke again, this time with a hint of urgency.
“If it collapses, so be it. I came here and didn’t get a single treasure. If I leave empty-handed, how can I be satisfied? This aura of slaughter may not be a great treasure, but it’ll serve as some consolation,” Lin Fan replied, curious to see how this mysterious figure would respond.
For a moment, the mysterious voice fell silent.
“What if I give you a treasure? Would you leave then?” the mysterious figure finally spoke.
“Sure, but if it’s something ordinary, I won’t be interested,” Lin Fan said, surprised that the mysterious figure would offer him a treasure.
But how could this be? There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If this person was offering him something, it was likely a trap. Still, Lin Fan wanted to see who this person was and how they managed to hide in the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter without being detected.
In an instant, the void trembled slightly, and a portal appeared before Lin Fan.
“Step inside, and I will transport you to my location.”
Lin Fan examined the portal and then stepped through.
When he reappeared, he found himself in front of a cave. Just as he was about to enter, the voice spoke again.
“You cannot enter. I have been trapped here by the Ancient Clan for ten thousand years. If you could enter, I would have already escaped. The Ancient Clan imprisoned me here, using the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter as the foundation. If the domain is destroyed, I will never be able to leave. So, I ask for your mercy, and in return, I will not treat you poorly.”
This speech painted the mysterious figure as a venerable master.
However, Lin Fan remained skeptical.
“May I ask for your esteemed name, senior?” Lin Fan stood at the cave entrance, cupping his hands in respect.
The cave entrance was shrouded in a glowing light, seemingly some kind of seal.
Lin Fan wasn’t familiar with seals, so he couldn’t tell what it was.
“I am the Green Saint Ancestor.”
Lin Fan had never heard of this name and didn’t know who the Green Saint Ancestor was. He remained cautious, not easily trusting this so-called Green Saint Ancestor.
“This is a treasure I have kept for many years. Consider it compensation for you,” the void trembled again, and an item appeared before Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan saw it, he was slightly puzzled. It was a talisman.
The talisman was yellow, covered in various mysterious runes that emitted a golden light. Lin Fan had no idea what it was.
“This is the Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman. It has infinite uses and can elevate the rank of any treasure.”
Hearing this, Lin Fan’s heart stirred slightly. If this talisman could truly elevate the rank of a treasure, it would be incredible.
If he used this “Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman” on his “Demon City,” it could potentially upgrade it from a top-tier spiritual artifact to a divine artifact. That would be a game-changer.
“Little friend, all you need to do is infuse it with your true essence and refine it. I only ask that after you leave, you do not speak of this place to others,” the Green Saint Ancestor said.
Lin Fan remained silent, holding the golden “Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman” in his hand.
“Ding, you have discovered the Demon Seed Conversion Talisman.”
“Demon Seed Conversion Talisman: Once the target infuses it with their true essence, you can swap bodies with them.”
“What the hell…” Lin Fan’s expression remained calm, but inwardly, he was cursing up a storm.
This so-called “Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman” was nothing but a scam.
“Just as I thought, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world,” Lin Fan sighed inwardly, now even more intrigued by this Green Saint Ancestor.
All villains who rely on tricks are paper tigers. Lin Fan was confident he could outsmart this one.
At that moment, Lin Fan’s expression changed to one of deep gratitude, and he cupped his hands in respect.
“Senior, you are too generous.”
“No need for thanks. To encounter a prodigy like you in this vast world is a blessing for all races. Why not refine the talisman here, and I will send you on your way afterward,” the Green Saint Ancestor said with a smile.
“But senior, you must understand, as a member of the myriad races, I don’t have a suitable treasure to use this talisman on. Even if I refine it, it would be of no use. It would be better to take it with me and exchange it for a suitable treasure outside,” Lin Fan feigned regret, appearing helpless.
The Green Saint Ancestor in the cave was clearly caught off guard by this response and remained silent for a moment.
“Senior, is something wrong?” Lin Fan asked.
“Little friend, you must understand, this Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman was crafted with great effort by me. If it leaves the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, it will lose its power. Only by refining it here can it become your personal possession. After that, you can exchange it with others outside,” the Green Saint Ancestor explained.
“Damn, this guy is really trying to scam me. I wonder how many people he’s tricked with this method,” Lin Fan cursed inwardly, but his face showed a look of understanding.
“Then I will refine it here,” Lin Fan said.
“Good…”
Inside the cave, it was pitch black. A dark skeleton was pinned to the ground by a shard of metal. The skeleton had long since decayed, with no flesh or blood remaining.
Above the skeleton floated a mass of black mist.
This was the so-called Green Saint Ancestor.
“Come in. I will transport you to my side.”
Lin Fan examined the passage carefully before finally stepping forward.
When he reappeared, he found himself in front of a cave. Just as he was about to enter, the voice came again.
“You cannot come in. I have been trapped here by the Ancient Clan for ten thousand years. If you could enter, I would have already left long ago. The Ancient Clan imprisoned me here, using the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain as its foundation. If the domain is destroyed, I will never be able to leave. So I beg you, young friend, please show mercy. I promise I will not let you down in return.”
This speech completely painted himself as a noble cultivator.
However, Lin Fan was somewhat skeptical about these words.
“May I ask for the senior’s honorable name?” Lin Fan stood before the cave entrance, bowing respectfully.
The cave entrance was covered by a beam of light, seemingly some kind of seal.
Lin Fan wasn’t familiar with seals and thus couldn’t identify what it was.
“I am the Ancient Sage Ancestor.”
…
Lin Fan had never heard of this name before and didn’t know who the Ancient Sage Ancestor really was. However, Lin Fan remained cautious in his heart and wasn’t easily convinced by this so-called Ancient Sage Ancestor.
“Little friend, you must not absorb the remaining aura of slaughter, or the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter will cease to exist.”
Just as Lin Fan was about to absorb the last remnants of the “aura of slaughter” from the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, a voice came from an unknown direction.
“Who’s there?” Lin Fan’s heart tightened. There was someone else in the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, and they had managed to remain undetected by him. Quite impressive.
“Who I am is not important. I only ask that you show mercy and spare the last traces of the aura of slaughter,” the voice spoke again, calm and steady, without a hint of fluctuation.
Lin Fan remained vigilant, scanning his surroundings. Apart from the hazy, gray space, there was nothing.
But where was this voice coming from? It was indeed strange.
“Well, there’s only a bit left anyway, and it’s of no use. Might as well absorb it all,” Lin Fan thought. He didn’t know who this person was, but if he were the type to easily heed others’ words, he wouldn’t have survived this long.
If this person truly wanted to preserve the “aura of slaughter,” they wouldn’t have remained hidden until now. When Lin Fan was voraciously absorbing the aura, they should have come out to stop him.
The current situation made it clear that this person couldn’t kill him, so why should he be afraid?
Besides, although he had gained some benefits from entering the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, he hadn’t obtained the most valuable treasures, which left him somewhat dissatisfied.
“No… The aura of slaughter can regenerate on its own. Although it may take hundreds of years to fully recover, if you absorb the last trace of it, the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter will instantly collapse and vanish from the Ancient Saint World,” the voice spoke again, this time with a hint of urgency.
“If it collapses, so be it. I’ve wandered around here and haven’t found a single treasure. If I leave empty-handed, how can I be satisfied? Although the aura of slaughter isn’t anything special, it’ll at least serve as a small consolation,” Lin Fan replied, curious to see how this mysterious figure would respond.
For a moment, the mysterious voice fell silent.
“What if I give you a treasure? Will you leave then?” the mysterious figure finally spoke.
“Sure, but if it’s something ordinary, I won’t be interested,” Lin Fan said, surprised that the mysterious figure would offer him a treasure.
But how could this be? There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If this person was offering him something, they must have ulterior motives. Still, Lin Fan wanted to see who this person was and how they had managed to hide in the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter without being detected.
Indeed, this person was quite skilled.
In an instant, the void trembled slightly, and a portal appeared before Lin Fan.
“Step inside, and I will transport you to my location.”
Lin Fan examined the portal and then stepped through.
When he reappeared, he found himself in front of a cave. Just as he was about to enter, the voice spoke again.
“You cannot enter. I have been trapped here by the Ancient Clan for ten thousand years. If you could enter, I would have already escaped. The Ancient Clan imprisoned me here, using the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter as the foundation. If the domain collapses, I will never be able to leave. So, I ask you to show mercy, and I will not treat you unfairly.”
This statement painted the speaker as a venerable figure.
However, Lin Fan remained skeptical.
“May I ask for your esteemed name, senior?” Lin Fan stood at the entrance of the cave, cupping his hands in respect.
The cave’s entrance was enveloped in a radiant light, as if sealed by some kind of barrier.
Lin Fan was unfamiliar with seals and didn’t know what this was.
“I am the Green Saint Ancestor.”
…
Lin Fan had never heard of this name and didn’t know who the Green Saint Ancestor was. However, he remained cautious and wasn’t quick to trust this so-called Green Saint Ancestor.
“This is a treasure I have kept for many years. Consider it compensation for you,” the Green Saint Ancestor said. The void trembled, and an object appeared before Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan saw it, he was slightly puzzled. It was a talisman.
The talisman was yellow, covered in various mysterious runes that emitted a golden light. Lin Fan had no idea what it was.
“This is the Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman. It has infinite uses and can elevate the quality of any treasure.”
Hearing this, Lin Fan’s heart stirred slightly. If this talisman could truly enhance the quality of a treasure, it would be no joke.
If he used this “Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman” on his “Demon City,” it could elevate it from a top-grade spiritual artifact to a Dao artifact. That would be an incredible leap.
“Little friend, all you need to do is infuse it with your true essence and refine it. I only ask that after you leave, you do not speak of this place to others,” the Green Saint Ancestor said.
Lin Fan remained silent, holding the golden “Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman” in his hand.
“Ding, you have discovered the Demon Seed Conversion Talisman.”
“Demon Seed Conversion Talisman: Once the opponent infuses it with their true essence, you can swap bodies with them.”
“What the hell…” Lin Fan’s expression remained calm, but inwardly, he was cursing up a storm.
This so-called “Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman” was nothing but a scam.
“As I thought, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world,” Lin Fan sighed inwardly, now even more intrigued by this Green Saint Ancestor.
All villains who play tricks are paper tigers. Lin Fan was confident he could outwit this one.
At that moment, Lin Fan’s expression changed to one of deep gratitude, and he cupped his hands in respect.
“Senior, you are too generous.”
“It’s nothing, nothing. To encounter a prodigy like you in this vast world is a blessing for all races. Why don’t you refine the talisman here, and I will send you on your way afterward,” the Green Saint Ancestor said with a smile.
“But senior, you must understand that as a member of the vast races, I don’t have a suitable treasure to use this talisman on. It would be better for me to take it with me and exchange it for a suitable treasure outside,” Lin Fan said, feigning regret and helplessness.
The Green Saint Ancestor in the cave was clearly caught off guard by this response and remained silent for a moment.
“Senior, what’s wrong?” Lin Fan asked.
“Little friend, you must understand that this Heavenly Saint Treasure Talisman was crafted with my life’s essence. If it leaves the Ancient Domain of Ten Thousand Slaughter, it will lose its power. Only by refining it here can it become your personal possession. After that, you can exchange it with others outside,” the Green Saint Ancestor explained.
“Damn, this guy is really going all out to trick me. I wonder how many people he’s scammed with this method,” Lin Fan cursed inwardly, but his face showed a look of understanding.
“Then I will refine it here,” Lin Fan said.
“Good…”
Inside the cave, it was pitch black. A dark skeleton was pinned to the ground by a shard of metal. The skeleton had long since decayed, with no flesh or blood remaining.
Above the skeleton floated a cloud of black mist.
This was the so-called Green Saint Ancestor.
When Lin Fan saw this item, he felt slightly puzzled. It was a talisman.
The talisman was yellow, inscribed with various mysterious runes that emitted golden light. Lin Fan had no idea what it really was.
“This is the Celestial Saint Treasure Talisman, which has infinite wondrous uses. With this talisman, you can enhance the grade of treasures.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s spirit slightly stirred. Enhancing the grade of treasures? Was this person joking?
If it was truly the case, using this “Celestial Saint Treasure Talisman” on the “Demon City” could elevate it from an ultimate-grade spirit artifact to a Dao artifact. That would be incredible.
“Little friend, you only need to inject your true essence into it to refine and assimilate it. Just promise me, once you leave, don’t mention this place to anyone else.” The Ancient Sage Ancestor said.
Lin Fan didn’t speak but instead grabbed the shiny “Celestial Saint Treasure Talisman” in his hand.
“Ding, Demon Seed Transformation Talisman detected.”
“Demon Seed Transformation Talisman: After the other party injects their true essence, the two parties can exchange bodies.”
“What the hell…” Lin Fan’s expression remained calm, but inside, a thousand horses of grass mud galloped through his mind.
This so-called Celestial Saint Treasure Talisman was completely fake. It was definitely a trick.
“Just as I thought. In this world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Lin Fan inwardly sighed, now somewhat intrigued by this so-called Ancient Sage Ancestor.
All villains who played small tricks were paper tigers. He would make sure to outwit this one.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s expression suddenly changed, appearing deeply grateful as he bowed.
“Senior, your generosity is commendable.”
“No problem, no problem. In this lifetime, meeting a genius like you, little friend, is indeed a hope for the Great Thousand Races. Why don’t you refine it here? Later, I will send you out of here.” The Ancient Sage Ancestor laughed.
“But Senior, you don’t know, I, as a member of the Great Thousand Races, don’t have a suitable treasure. Even if I refine this talisman, I have no place to use it. Perhaps it would be better to take it with me and exchange it for a suitable treasure outside.” Lin Fan pretended to be disappointed, appearing very helpless.
The Ancient Sage Ancestor inside the cave clearly hadn’t expected such a response and remained silent for a moment.
“Senior, what’s wrong with you?” Lin Fan asked.
“Little friend, you don’t understand. This Celestial Saint Treasure Talisman was crafted with my heart’s blood. If it leaves the Ten Thousand Killing Ancient Domain, it will lose its wondrous effects. It can only be refined here, becoming your personal possession. Then, you can go out and exchange it with others if you wish.” The Ancient Sage Ancestor explained.
“What the hell… This bastard is so determined to scam me that he even came up with such a ridiculous excuse. I wonder how many people he’s tricked with this method before.” Lin Fan inwardly cursed, but his face still displayed an expression of sudden realization.
“Then I’ll refine it here, Senior.” Lin Fan said.
“Good…”
At this moment, within the cave, it was pitch black. A black skeleton was pinned to the ground by a shard, having been dead for an unknown length of time, with no flesh left on its body.
Above this skeleton floated a mass of black mist.
This was the so-called Ancient Sage Ancestor.
