Chapter 854: Annihilating the Enemy with a Single Palm

“What?”

Shark King Jing was shocked when he saw the attack from the Giant Shark Divine Vessel being sliced apart by a sword beam, trembling violently, not knowing what had happened.

But what made Shark King Jing even more terrified was yet to come.

Suddenly, the sky was torn open by a fissure, pitch-black and ominous. A giant hand descended from the heavens, grabbed all the members of the Giant Shark Clan scattered across the sky, and crushed them with a single squeeze. Blood rained down, and their bodies disintegrated into dust, scattering across the world.

“Who is it? Who exactly is it?” Shark King Jing roared furiously. He never expected something like this to happen at such a critical moment.

The disciples of Yun Sect, who had already braced themselves for death, were completely stunned by what they witnessed.

This was just too powerful.

At the same time, everyone had the same question in their minds—who was this person?

“You all want to destroy my friend’s sect? You sure have guts.”

With white robes fluttering, a figure emerged from the void, hands clasped behind his back. His expression was calm, as if he regarded everything before him as trivial.

“Lin Fan…”

The Sect Leader of Yun Sect gasped in disbelief at the sight of that figure.

“It’s been a long time, Sect Leader Yun. Although, if you hadn’t made the sacrificial offering, I probably wouldn’t have known about Yun Sect’s plight,” Lin Fan said.

Indeed, if the Sect Leader hadn’t made the offering, even with Lin Fan’s immense power, he wouldn’t have been able to sense it.

It seemed the Ancient Holy Altar wasn’t useless after all. Perhaps in the future, he could tell his close friends about it—should they encounter trouble, making a sacrificial offering might still be effective.

Among the Yun Sect, some didn’t know Lin Fan or who he was.

But for figures like Red Cloud Immortal Lady, he was more familiar than anyone.

“Who is this powerful cultivator?”

“Right, who saved us just now? He seems very familiar with the Sect Leader. Could it be that we’re saved?”

“You all should know—he’s the Human Emperor!”

“What? He’s the Human Emperor? The one who can stand up against the Ancient Race’s Supreme?”

“He’s my idol! I never thought I’d live to see the Human Emperor in person.”

At that moment, the entire Yun Sect erupted in cheers. While they might not recognize others, the Human Emperor was someone they knew all too well.

Because of the legendary live broadcast long ago, they vividly remembered him—the only hero who could rival the Ancient Race’s Supreme.

“Who are you?” Shark King Jing glared at Lin Fan warily, his heart burning with rage.

This man had just killed countless of his subordinates with a single move.

“What?”

Shark King was startled when he saw the cannon blast from the Great Shark Divine Ship being split by a sword beam, trembling in shock, unsure of what had just happened.

But what terrified Shark King even more was yet to come.

The sky was suddenly torn open by a pitch-black rift, from which a colossal hand descended, grabbing all the members of the Great Shark Clan in its grasp and crushing them into a bloody mist that scattered across the heavens and earth.

“Who? Who is it?” Shark King roared, never expecting such a thing to happen at this critical moment.

The disciples of the Cloud Sect, who had already prepared themselves for death, were utterly dumbfounded by the scene before them.

This was too powerful.

At the same time, a question arose in everyone’s mind: who was this person?

“You dare to destroy my friend’s sect? You’ve got quite the nerve.”

A figure clad in white robes, hands behind his back, emerged from the void, his calm demeanor showing no concern for the chaos before him.

“Lin Fan…”

The Cloud Sect Master gasped in disbelief upon seeing the figure.

“It’s been a long time, Sect Master. If it weren’t for your sacrifice, I might not have known the Cloud Sect was in such trouble,” Lin Fan said.

Indeed, if the Sect Master hadn’t performed the ritual, even with Lin Fan’s immense power, he wouldn’t have been able to sense it.

It seems the Ancient Saint Altar isn’t useless after all. Perhaps I should tell my acquaintances about it—if they’re ever in trouble, they should perform a ritual quickly. It might just save them.

Many in the Cloud Sect didn’t know Lin Fan, didn’t know who he was.

But for Red Cloud Fairy and others, he was all too familiar.

“Who is this powerful figure?”

“Yes, he just saved us. He seems very familiar with the Sect Master. Are we saved?”

“You should all know him. He’s the Human Emperor.”

“What? He’s the Human Emperor? The one who can stand against the Ancient Clan’s Supreme Being?”

“He’s my idol. I never thought I’d see the Human Emperor in my lifetime.”

At that moment, the entire Cloud Sect erupted in cheers. While others might not know him, the Human Emperor was a name they were all too familiar with.

Long ago, that broadcast had left a deep impression on them—he was the only hero who could stand against the Ancient Clan’s Supreme Being.

“Who are you?” Shark King asked warily, his heart burning with rage.

This guy had just wiped out countless of his subordinates with a single move.

Lin Fan turned his gaze to the massive ship and asked with a smile, “The Great Shark Clan, one of the Ten Ancient Ferocious Beasts. When did you pledge allegiance to the Ancient Clan?”

“Hmph, the Great Shark Clan has always been the most loyal member of the Ancient Clan,” Shark King snarled.

“If you’re a loyal dog of the Ancient Clan, then you’re not worthy of knowing who I am. Prepare to die.”

Lin Fan had little interest in such ants. He raised his hand lightly and brought it down. In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled as a colossal palm crushed the void, hurtling toward the Great Shark Divine Ship.

“Insolence!” Shark King roared, slamming his Sea God Scepter into the void. Waves of energy surged, layer upon layer, crashing toward the palm.

“Anyone who dares to kill the Great Shark Clan will meet their end!” Shark King bellowed.

The surging waves transformed into a massive shark, its wings spread wide, its bloody maw gaping.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan’s palm seized the shark and crushed it effortlessly.

“Impossible! How is this possible?” Shark King’s face turned pale with disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how this man had destroyed the celestial shark with a single move.

But it didn’t end there. The palm continued its relentless advance toward Shark King.

A powerful aura erupted, and Shark King’s expression changed drastically. He raised the Sea God Scepter, unleashing vast waves of energy.

One after another, celestial sharks emerged, but under the palm’s might, they shattered like ants.

“Activate the shield!”

Shark King screamed in panic. The Great Shark Divine Ship glowed as a natural barrier enveloped it.

“Damn you!” Shark King roared.

But suddenly, a cracking sound echoed.

Shark King looked up to see the barrier fracturing under the palm’s pressure, offering no resistance.

“How is this possible? This is the Sea God’s protection!” Shark King screamed in terror. In the blink of an eye, the barrier shattered, and the Great Shark Divine Ship was firmly in Lin Fan’s grasp.

“Ding, detected a low-grade Supreme Treasure: the Great Shark Divine Ship.”

Lin Fan glanced at the ship’s formation, thinking it might be some treasure, only to find it was just a low-grade Supreme Treasure. How boring.

Crack!

With a slight exertion, Lin Fan shattered the Great Shark Divine Ship, releasing bursts of primal energy.

Shark King, seeing the ship destroyed so easily, was utterly stunned.

This was a low-grade Supreme Treasure! Even a Tenth Heaven Realm expert couldn’t damage it.

Yet this man had obliterated it with such ease, leaving Shark King petrified.

“Spare me! Have mercy!”

Bang!

“Ding, congratulations on slaying Shark King, a Ninth Heaven Realm expert.”

“Ding, congratulations on obtaining the low-grade Supreme Treasure: Sea God Scepter.”

With just one move, peace returned to the heavens and earth.

“Clap, clap!”

Lin Fan clapped his hands, glanced at the Sea God Scepter, and tossed it into his inner world, handing it over to the Ancient Demon.

It’ll be good for him to snack on this occasionally.

“Is it over?”

At that moment, everyone stood in stunned silence. The mighty Shark King was dead?

And the vast army of the Great Shark Clan had been annihilated?

Not only were the Cloud Sect disciples shocked, but even the Sect Master was utterly dumbfounded.

It all felt too unreal, too absurd.

Lin Fan, seeing their dazed expressions, chuckled lightly. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

The Sect Master swallowed hard, then asked in disbelief, “Kid, just how strong have you become?”

He seemed to recall that when Lin Fan left, he wasn’t nearly this powerful.

But now, seeing him again, it was blinding.

He was too strong. Perhaps he had reached the Tenth Heaven Realm?

But even a Tenth Heaven Realm expert might not have been able to withstand that palm strike.

“Just average,” Lin Fan said nonchalantly.

The Sect Master nearly spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this.

“Hmph! The Giant Shark Clan has always been the most loyal member of the Ancient Race!” Shark King Jing declared fiercely.

“If you’re just a loyal dog of the Ancient Race, then you don’t deserve to know who I am. Die.”

Lin Fan had no interest in such a trivial ant. He gently raised his hand and struck downward. In an instant, the sky and earth exploded. A gigantic palm squeezed through the void, rushing toward the Giant Shark Divine Vessel.

“Reckless!” Shark King Jing roared furiously. With a slam of his Trident of the Sea God, waves surged through the void, wave upon wave, rushing to meet Lin Fan’s palm.

“Daring to kill the Giant Shark Clan? Your only fate is death!” Shark King Jing shouted.

The surging waves transformed into a colossal shark, resembling a Celestial Shark with wings on its back, its massive mouth dripping with blood.

Bang!

In an instant, Lin Fan’s palm seized the Celestial Shark and crushed it with a light squeeze, causing it to explode.

“Impossible! How could this be possible?” Shark King Jing was stunned, unable to believe his eyes. He couldn’t accept that this man had destroyed the Celestial Shark with a single strike.

But it wasn’t over yet. The palm crushed the Celestial Shark and continued toward Shark King Jing.

A powerful aura erupted. Shark King Jing’s expression changed drastically as he raised the Trident of the Sea God, unleashing torrents of mighty energy.

One Celestial Shark after another emerged, snarling and fierce, but under Lin Fan’s palm, they were like ants, shattering one by one.

“Raise the shield!”

Shark King Jing screamed in panic. The Giant Shark Divine Vessel immediately emitted a radiant glow, forming a natural barrier that enveloped the entire vessel.

“Cursed fellow!” Shark King Jing howled in rage.

But suddenly, a cracking sound echoed.

Shark King Jing looked up, horrified to see the barrier fracturing under Lin Fan’s palm, utterly defenseless.

“This can’t be! This is the protection of the Sea God!” Shark King Jing screamed in terror. But in the blink of an eye, the barrier shattered, and the Giant Shark Divine Vessel was seized in Lin Fan’s palm.

“Beep! Detected a low-grade Supreme Treasure—the Giant Shark Divine Vessel.”

Lin Fan had thought the grand vessel was some extraordinary treasure, only to find out it was merely a low-grade Supreme Treasure. How disappointing.

Crack!

With a light squeeze, the Giant Shark Divine Vessel shattered instantly, releasing torrents of primordial energy.

Shark King Jing watched in horror as the Divine Vessel was crushed in Lin Fan’s hand.

This was a low-grade Supreme Treasure! Even a Divine Heaven Ninth-Level expert couldn’t destroy it!

Yet now, it had been effortlessly destroyed by this man, leaving Shark King Jing utterly stunned.

“Please don’t kill me! Spare my life! Spare my life!”

Bang!

“Beep! Congratulations on slaying the Divine Heaven Ninth-Level expert, Shark King Jing.”

“Beep! Congratulations on obtaining the low-grade Supreme Treasure—the Trident of the Sea God.”

With just one move, the entire world fell silent once more.

Clap! Clap!

“What?”

Shark King was startled when he saw the cannon blast from the Giant Shark Divine Ark being split by a sword beam, trembling in shock, unsure of what had just happened.

But what terrified Shark King even more was yet to come.

In the sky, a dark, endless rift suddenly tore open, and a colossal hand descended from above, grabbing all the members of the Giant Shark Clan in one swift motion. With a crushing squeeze, blood rained down as they were reduced to dust, scattering across the heavens and earth.

“Who? Who is it?” Shark King roared in fury, never expecting such a turn of events at this critical moment.

The disciples of the Cloud Sect, who had already prepared themselves for death, were utterly dumbfounded by the scene before them.

This was way too powerful.

At the same time, a question arose in everyone’s mind: Who exactly was this person?

“You dare to annihilate my friend’s sect? You’ve got quite the nerve.”

A figure clad in white robes emerged from the void, hands clasped behind his back, his calm demeanor showing no concern for the chaos around him.

“Lin Fan…”

The Cloud Sect Leader gasped in disbelief upon seeing the figure.

“It’s been a while, Sect Leader. If it weren’t for your sacrifice, I wouldn’t have known the Cloud Sect was in such peril,” Lin Fan said.

Indeed, if the Sect Leader hadn’t performed the sacrificial ritual, even with Lin Fan’s immense power, he wouldn’t have been able to sense the danger.

It seems the Ancient Saint Altar isn’t useless after all. Perhaps I should tell my acquaintances to perform sacrifices when they’re in trouble—it might just save them in time.

Some within the Cloud Sect didn’t know Lin Fan, unaware of who he was.

But for figures like Red Cloud Fairy, he was all too familiar.

“Who is this powerful figure?”

“Yes, he just saved us. He seems very close to the Sect Leader. Are we saved?”

“You should all know him—he’s the Human Emperor.”

“What? He’s the Human Emperor? The one who stood against the Ancient Clan’s Supreme Being?”

“That’s my idol! I never thought I’d get to see the Human Emperor in my lifetime.”

At that moment, the entire Cloud Sect erupted in cheers. While others might not know him, the Human Emperor was a name they were all too familiar with.

Long ago, that live broadcast had left a deep impression on them—he was the only hero who could stand against the Ancient Clan’s Supreme Being.

“Who are you?” Shark King glared at Lin Fan, his heart burning with rage.

This guy had just wiped out countless of his subordinates with a single move.

Lin Fan turned his gaze to the massive ark and asked with a smile, “The Giant Shark Clan, one of the Ten Ancient Ferocious Beasts. When did you pledge allegiance to the Ancient Clan?”

“Hmph! The Giant Shark Clan has always been the most loyal member of the Ancient Clan!” Shark King snarled.

“If you’re just a loyal dog of the Ancient Clan, then you’re not worthy of knowing who I am. Time to die.”

For such an insignificant being, Lin Fan had little interest. He casually raised his hand and brought it down. In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled as a colossal palm crushed the void, hurtling toward the Giant Shark Divine Ark.

“Insolence!” Shark King bellowed, slamming his Sea God Scepter into the void. Towering waves surged forth, layer upon layer, crashing against the palm.

“Anyone who dares to kill the Giant Shark Clan will meet their end!” Shark King roared.

The monstrous waves transformed into a gigantic shark, its wings spread wide, its bloody maw gaping.

Boom!

In a flash, Lin Fan’s palm seized the celestial shark and with a gentle squeeze, it exploded.

“Impossible! How can this be?” Shark King’s face turned pale with disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how this man had destroyed the celestial shark with a single move.

But things were far from over. The palm, having crushed the shark, continued its relentless advance toward Shark King.

A powerful aura erupted, and Shark King’s expression changed drastically. He raised his Sea God Scepter, unleashing vast surges of energy.

One after another, celestial sharks emerged, but under that palm, they were like ants, shattering endlessly.

“Activate the barrier!”

Shark King screamed in panic. The Giant Shark Divine Ark suddenly glowed, and a natural barrier enveloped the entire ark.

“Damn you!” Shark King roared in fury.

But then, a cracking sound echoed.

Shark King looked up to see the barrier crumbling under the palm, offering no resistance whatsoever.

“How is this possible? This is the Sea God’s protection!” Shark King howled in terror. In the blink of an eye, the barrier shattered, and the Giant Shark Divine Ark was firmly in Lin Fan’s grasp.

“Ding! Lower-grade Supreme Treasure detected: Giant Shark Divine Ark.”

Lin Fan glanced at the ark’s formation, initially thinking it was some kind of treasure. Turns out, it was just a lower-grade Supreme Treasure. How boring.

Crack!

With a slight exertion of force, Lin Fan shattered the Giant Shark Divine Ark, releasing bursts of primal energy.

Shark King, witnessing the ark being crushed so effortlessly, was utterly petrified.

This was a lower-grade Supreme Treasure! Even a Tenth Heaven Tier expert couldn’t damage it.

Yet, this man had destroyed it with such ease, leaving Shark King completely dumbfounded.

“Don’t kill me! Spare me! Spare me!”

Boom!

“Ding! Congratulations on slaying Ninth Heaven Tier expert Shark King.”

“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the lower-grade Supreme Treasure, Sea God Scepter.”

With just one move, peace was restored to the heavens and earth.

“Clap, clap!”

Lin Fan dusted off his hands, glanced at the Sea God Scepter, and casually tossed it into his pocket dimension, handing it over to the Ancient Demon.

It’s good for a snack now and then.

“Is it over just like that?”

At that moment, everyone stood there in stunned silence. The mighty Shark King was dead just like that?

And the vast army of the Giant Shark Clan had been completely annihilated?

Not only were the Cloud Sect disciples shocked, but even the Sect Leader was utterly dumbfounded.

This all felt too unreal, too absurd.

Lin Fan, seeing everyone’s dazed expressions, chuckled softly. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

The Sect Leader swallowed hard, then asked in disbelief, “Kid, just how strong have you become?”

The Sect Leader seemed to recall that when Lin Fan left years ago, he wasn’t this powerful.

But now, seeing him again, it was blindingly obvious.

He was strong—incredibly strong.

Perhaps he had reached the Tenth Heaven Tier?

But even a Tenth Heaven Tier expert might not have been able to withstand that palm strike.

“Just average, really,” Lin Fan said nonchalantly.

The Sect Leader nearly spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this.

You can have a little snack now and then.

“Is it really over?”

At that moment, everyone stood there in stunned silence. Was the mighty Shark King Jing truly dead?

And had the countless members of the Giant Shark Clan truly been wiped out?

Not only were the disciples of Yun Sect shocked, but even the Sect Leader was left speechless.

It felt so surreal, so utterly unbelievable.

Seeing everyone still dazed, Lin Fan smiled faintly. “What’s wrong? Could there be any issue?”

The Sect Leader swallowed hard, asking in disbelief, “Just how powerful are you now, kid?”

He clearly remembered that when this young man had left back then, he hadn’t been this strong.

But seeing him now was simply blinding.

Powerful. Unbelievably powerful.

Perhaps he had already reached the Divine Heaven Tenth-Level?

But even that might not be enough to withstand that palm strike.

“Just so-so,” Lin Fan replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
