“Seeking death.”
The Will of Heaven roared in fury. He never expected this human to be so recklessly bold.
“Fine then. This Will of Heaven shall slay you and extract the Ancient Sage Altar and Eternal Throne from your body.”
“You wish to kill me? Dream on,” Lin Fan bellowed defiantly, without delay, he pushed off the ground with both feet and dashed forward, attempting to flee.
“Fleeting human, do you truly believe you can escape from this Will of Heaven? That’s nothing more than a fool’s fantasy. The entire Ancient Sage Realm is under my control. No matter how far you run, it will be in vain.”
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning descended from the void, illuminating the entire world with its brilliant flash.
This vast lightning crackled through the air, enveloping Lin Fan’s body completely. The crackling sounds echoed across tens of thousands of miles, turning the surroundings into a realm of thunder.
The Will of Heaven’s strike was extraordinary, its aftershocks terrifyingly intense.
Lin Fan’s earlier concerns had been unnecessary. Under current circumstances, even a ninth-stage Divine Celestial expert might be struck senseless, let alone venture inside to witness Lin Fan’s current state.
“Ahh! It hurts so much!”
Lin Fan, striving to appear overwhelmed, performed convincingly.
“Ding, Congratulations!《Eternal Divine Body》experience increased by 50,000.”
In Lin Fan’s estimation, probably only a small portion of the Ancient Sage Realm’s Will had awakened. Otherwise, with the Will’s power, he would have been in serious trouble.
Currently, Lin Fan’s cultivation stood at the ninth-stage Divine Celestial, Eight Desolations United Realm, still quite distant from the Tenth-stage Divine Celestial, Eternal Divine Throne.
There was still a major cultivation barrier to cross—the Eternal Divine Throne, the throne of eternity.
Lin Fan wasn’t sure what kind of transformation his power would undergo once he reached the Eternal Divine Throne.
If the Water-Fire Emperor were here, Lin Fan would certainly ask about the differences between these realms.
“Human, you…”
The Ancient Sage Realm’s Will was astonished at this moment. Although lacking a complete physical form, it was still amazed that this human had endured two lightning strikes.
In its view, this was practically unscientific.
Hearing the Ancient Sage Realm’s Will express surprise, Lin Fan was slightly taken aback. This Will was far too confident, wasn’t it? Just because he hadn’t been killed by two lightning strikes, was it really necessary to be so stingy?
At the very least, a few thousand lightning bolts would be more appropriate.
“Seeking death,” roared the Will of Heaven, astonished by the audacity of this human who seemed to court death.
“Fine, I, the Will of Heaven, shall slay you and extract the Ancient Saint Altar and the Eternal Throne from your body.”
“Dream on if you think you can kill me,” bellowed Lin Fan, who then propelled himself forward with a powerful leap, attempting to flee the scene.
“Insignificant human, dreaming of escaping from the grasp of the Will of Heaven is nothing but a fool’s fantasy. The entire Ancient Saint Realm is under my control. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, it will be futile.”
Boom!
Another thunderbolt descended from the void.
The vast lightning illuminated the entire heavens and earth, creating a world of thunder around Lin Fan, crackling and sizzling, enveloping him completely.
The Will of Heaven’s strike was extraordinary, and the resulting shockwaves were terrifying.
Lin Fan’s earlier worries were unfounded.
Given the current situation, even a ninth-level Heavenly God could be electrocuted to death, let alone someone like Lin Fan, who was now in the thick of it.
“Ah! It hurts so much!”
Lin Fan exaggerated his pain, putting on a show to make it seem like he was on the brink of collapse.
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Eternal Divine Body’ experience increased by 50,000.”
Lin Fan speculated that the Will of the Ancient Saint Realm had only awakened a small part of its power. Otherwise, with the full might of the Will of Heaven, he would have been in serious trouble.
Currently, Lin Fan’s cultivation was at the ninth level of the Heavenly God realm, still far from the tenth level, the Eternal Divine Throne.
There was also a significant realm in between—the Eternal Divine Throne, which required one to prove their eternal status.
Lin Fan wondered how much his strength would change once he reached the Eternal Divine Throne realm.
If the Water and Fire Emperor were here, Lin Fan would have liked to ask about the differences.
“Human, you…”
The Will of the Ancient Saint Realm was somewhat astonished. Although it didn’t have a complete form, it was surprised that this human could withstand two thunderbolts.
In its view, this was almost unscientific.
Hearing the Will of Heaven’s tone, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned. The Will of Heaven was too confident. Just because it hadn’t killed him with two strikes, was it necessary to be so stingy? At least a few thousand thunderbolts would be more appropriate.
“I can’t take it anymore, my inner world is about to collapse,” Lin Fan cried out, feigning extreme pain and unbearable suffering.
“Will of Heaven, if you strike a few more times, I really won’t be able to hold on.”
Boom!
Another thunderbolt struck.
Lin Fan’s body shone brightly once more, his skin now as black as it could get.
To outsiders, it seemed impossible for anyone to survive in such a state.
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Eternal Divine Body’ experience increased by 50,000.”
…
“No, I must run. I can’t die at your hands,” Lin Fan shouted, spitting out a mouthful of blood, then mustering all his strength to flee into the distance.
However, Lin Fan kept an eye on the void.
His escape route had to be strategic, making the Will of Heaven believe that if it didn’t put in more effort, this human might actually escape.
Before his body reached the tenth level of the Heavenly God realm, Lin Fan dared not confront the Will of Heaven head-on.
The Will of Heaven was the Will of Heaven, even if only a fraction of it had awakened. It was not something Lin Fan could handle.
But now, Lin Fan could withstand it, though it had cost him a significant amount of the Phoenix Tree’s life force. In his view, it was worth it.
“Human, you cannot escape. Under my control, the entire Ancient Saint Realm has no place for you to hide,” the Will of Heaven roared, sending down another thunderbolt.
“Pfft!”
Blood sprayed everywhere.
Lin Fan shook violently, then shook his head and continued running, stumbling and feigning that he was on the verge of collapse but could still manage to run a bit further.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the Will of the Ancient Saint Realm seemed addicted to striking, sending down thunderbolts one after another, like rain, frequently landing on Lin Fan.
“Will of Heaven, you’re leaving me no way out,” Lin Fan cried out.
“Hand over the Ancient Saint Altar…”
“No, just strike me dead.”
“Congratulations! ‘Eternal Divine Body’ experience increased by 50,000.”
“Congratulations! ‘Eternal Divine Body’ experience increased by 50,000.”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan was both in pain and joy, but more so in joy.
Hearing the experience notifications, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with excitement.
For Lin Fan, this feeling was simply amazing.
Time passed minute by minute.
The heavens and earth had completely entered a world of thunder.
In Lin Fan’s view, each thunderbolt from the Will of Heaven could form a Thunder Spirit.
“A few more strikes, and I’ll level up.”
The ‘Eternal Divine Body’ had now reached the 19th level. One more level, and it would reach the 20th level, the Great Perfection realm. Perhaps it would evolve into an even more powerful body-refining technique.
“Come on, strike me dead.”
At this moment, Lin Fan stopped running and spread his arms, as if welcoming a new future.
For Lin Fan, this was the moment when miracles would happen.
“Huh?”
Lin Fan was surprised. What was going on? Why had everything stopped? Had the Will of Heaven given up?
Lin Fan opened his eyes and saw that the once turbulent dark clouds were now unstable, as if they could dissipate at any moment.
“Damn it.”
“Will of Heaven, don’t do this. At this critical moment, you can’t falter.”
“Ah, I really can’t take it anymore. Look at me, I’m spitting blood like this. I could die at any moment.”
“Just six more times, really. If I don’t die after six more strikes, may the heavens strike me down.”
Lin Fan was nervous. The situation in the void was not looking good. It felt hazy. The power that had once filled the void was now significantly weakened.
Boom!
“It’s coming.”
Lin Fan was overjoyed, startled by the Will of Heaven, thinking it was about to end.
A massive thunderbolt was brewing in the void. To Lin Fan, this thunderbolt was extraordinary.
Boom!
The thunder roared, its momentum awe-inspiring. Lin Fan was thrilled. This was how it should be. If it didn’t strike until the end, it wouldn’t be worthy of being the Will of Heaven.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The void where the thunderbolt was forming seemed to fizzle out, emitting black smoke, then shrinking until it was only the size of a thumb when it reached Lin Fan’s head.
“Congratulations! ‘Eternal Divine Body’ experience increased by 1,000.”
Lin Fan was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with disbelief. He looked up at the void, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
“Will of Heaven, are you fucking kidding me?”
…
Lin Fan cried out loudly, showing that he was in extreme pain and couldn’t endure any longer.
“Will of Heaven, if you strike a few more times, this Emperor really won’t be able to hold on.”
Boom!
Another lightning bolt struck down.
Lin Fan’s body once again radiated brilliant light, his skin turning pitch black.
To any outside observer, surviving such a condition was simply inconceivable.
“Ding, Congratulations!《Eternal Divine Body》experience increased by 50,000.”
…
“No way, this Emperor must escape. How could I die in your hands?”
Lin Fan shouted loudly, spitting out a mouthful of old blood, then seemingly exerting all his strength, he fled toward the distance.
However, Lin Fan had been constantly observing the void.
This escape route needed some strategy. It had to make the Will believe that if it didn’t try harder, this human might actually escape.
Lin Fan absolutely dared not withstand the Will’s power before his physical form reached the tenth-stage Divine Celestial.
The Will is the Will; even if only slightly awakened, it was still beyond Lin Fan’s capability to confront.
But now, Lin Fan could withstand it completely, although it consumed much of the Phoenix Divine Tree’s vitality, in Lin Fan’s opinion, it was worth it.
“Human, you cannot escape. Under this Will of Heaven, there is no place for you to hide in the entire Ancient Sage Realm.”
The Will roared, another bolt of lightning crashing down.
“Pu!”
Blood splattered across the sky.
Lin Fan staggered violently, then shook his head and continued running with his tail between his legs, bumping and stumbling, yet still managing to display a look of barely holding on but capable of running a little further.
Bang!
Bang!
At this moment, the Will of the Ancient Sage Realm seemed to have become addicted to striking, one lightning bolt after another, like raindrops, frequently landing on Lin Fan’s body.
“Will of Heaven, you’re leaving me no way out,” Lin Fan shouted.
“Surrender the Ancient Sage Altar…”
“Never! Strike me dead if you can.”
“Congratulations!《Eternal Divine Body》experience increased by 50,000.”
“Congratulations!《Eternal Divine Body》experience increased by 50,000.”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan experienced both pain and joy, but more joy.
Hearing the prompts of experience gain, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with excitement.
To Lin Fan, this feeling was absolutely amazing.
Time passed second by second.
This heaven and earth had completely transformed into a realm of thunder.
Even in Lin Fan’s view, each lightning bolt from the Will seemed capable of forming Thunder Spirits.
“With a bit more experience, I’ll be able to level up.”
Currently,《Eternal Divine Body》had reached the nineteenth layer. Just one more level up, and it would reach the twentieth layer, the peak of perfection. Perhaps then it could advance further. Lin Fan didn’t know whether it would transform into an even more powerful physical cultivation technique.
“Come on, strike me dead.”
At this moment, Lin Fan stopped running altogether, spreading his arms wide, as if welcoming a new future.
To Lin Fan at this moment, a miracle was about to happen.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Lin Fan was surprised. What was going on? Why had everything suddenly gone silent? Had the Will disappeared?
Lin Fan opened his eyes and saw that the previously surging dark clouds had become unstable, seemingly ready to dissipate at any moment.
“What the heck.”
“Heavenly Will, don’t do this. At such a crucial moment, you can’t let me down.”
“Ah, this Emperor really can’t take it anymore. Look at how much I’ve vomited. I could die any second.”
“Just six more times, really. If this Emperor survives six more strikes, may heaven strike me down with thunder.”
Lin Fan panicked. The situation in the void was ominous, giving a hazy feeling. The power previously contained within the void had been shocking, but now it had weakened significantly.
Bang!
“It’s coming.”
Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy. He had been startled by the Will, thinking it was about to stop.
A thick bolt of lightning was brewing in the void. In Lin Fan’s view, this lightning was extraordinary.
Boom!
The thunder roared magnificently. Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy. This was how it should be. If it didn’t strike until the very end, it wouldn’t deserve to be the Will of Heaven.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
However, at this moment, something suddenly went wrong.
In the void where the lightning had gathered, it seemed to have misfired, emitting puffs of black smoke, gradually shrinking. When it finally reached above Lin Fan’s head, it was only as thick as a thumb.
“Congratulations!《Eternal Divine Body》experience increased by 1,000.”
Lin Fan was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. He slowly lifted his head, gazing at the void, unable to recover for a long time.
“Heavenly Will, are you kidding me?”
