Faced with this prehistoric, colossal ancient demon, Lin Fan momentarily felt it was quite a challenge to deal with, unsure how to proceed.
That pitch-black, thick layer of scales seemed to possess formidable defensive power. Although this ancient demon had the vile habit of going naked, certain parts of its body were exceptionally well protected.
Its majestic, ferocious face gave off an aura that made one’s heart tremble with fear.
“Clang… Clang…”
The iron chain clutched in the ancient demon’s hand scraped against the ground, producing a series of dull, heavy sounds, causing the earth itself to crack open.
With every step the ancient demon took, the ground trembled. Combined with its towering, sky-piercing figure, it was like a demon walking among mortals, leaving behind a trail of utter desolation.
Lin Fan still had no idea what the ancient demon’s intentions were—was it simply wandering aimlessly?
It hadn’t formed any chains of laws, so Lin Fan couldn’t determine its true cultivation level.
Just then, Lin Fan noticed the ancient demon’s pace suddenly quicken, as if it had sensed something.
Puzzled, Lin Fan couldn’t help but accelerate his own speed as well.
“Not good,” Lin Fan inwardly exclaimed when he gazed into the distance.
Ahead lay an imperial city.
The ancient demon’s destination was clearly that city.
The ordinary people living peacefully within the city walls had no idea of the impending doom.
“Boom… Boom…”
The ground began to shake.
“What’s going on?”
“Is the ground trembling? Could it be an earthquake?”
“Ah… Look at what’s coming from the distance!”
“What exactly is that dark shadow?”
At that moment, the citizens of the imperial city looked up and saw a massive dark figure in the distance, blotting out the sky and sun, steadily approaching them.
The common people hadn’t yet clearly seen what it was, but an ominous feeling had already settled in their hearts.
As the vague shadow drew closer, some people screamed in terror.
“It’s a demon!”
“The demon is coming for us!”
…
The emperor of the imperial city summoned a large number of warriors. Seeing the giant demon approaching from afar, his expression turned grave.
In a powerful imperial city, there were usually several guest experts. Now that the city faced a crisis, although some of these experts were trembling with fear, they still stepped forward without hesitation to protect the city.
Righteous martial artists who cared for the people’s safety were not few.
“What exactly is that?” A guest expert at the Lower Heaven Realm wore a serious expression. The fierce and brutal aura, even from a distance, pressed heavily on their hearts like a mountain.
“What’s happening to Dongling Continent? Why have major disasters occurred frequently over the past century?” Another guest expert asked in confusion.
“I’ll go check it out,” one guest expert flew into the air, heading toward the approaching ancient demon.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan hesitated, wondering whether he should draw its attention.
Just then, Lin Fan saw a streak of light coming from the distance, heading straight toward the ancient demon.
The guest expert advanced cautiously. Once the mist dispersed, he saw the scene before him and his eyes widened in shock.
“This… this…”
The guest expert was already stunned by the terrifying sight of the ancient demon.
“Not good…”
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air as a giant hand reached out toward the guest expert.
The guest expert desperately unleashed all his techniques, his true energy exploding to its peak. Yet against that single giant hand, everything was nullified without even leaving a scratch.
“A mere ant dares to offend this emperor?” The ancient demon spoke, pinching the guest’s head between two fingers.
“Ahh…”
The guest expert screamed in agony, his anguished cries echoing across the sky.
At that moment, the ancient demon inhaled slightly.
The guest expert’s body instantly withered, turning into a dry husk of skin and bones.
“Hmph, too weak,” the ancient demon said, tossing the corpse, which it regarded as nothing more than an ant, into the distance.
…
“Damn, that’s brutal—draining a person’s soul and essence,” Lin Fan whispered, carefully observing the ancient demon. It was even more sinister than he had imagined.
It seemed the ancient demon was searching for humans.
Back in the city, everyone suddenly saw a corpse flying from afar and their expressions changed drastically.
When the corpse landed on the ground, the people recognized the clothing and were stunned.
“This is Brother Yang!” a guest expert cried out in disbelief.
“Brother Yang had already reached the peak of the Lower Heaven Realm! He was just one step away from entering the mighty Upper Heaven Realm. How could he… how could this happen?”
Everyone was thrown into panic.
Suddenly, a terrifying voice came from afar, shaking their very souls.
It was the voice of the ancient demon.
“Your Majesty, retreat! We are no match for it!” one guest expert shouted.
“What about my people?”
“Your Majesty, staying here means certain death. Earlier, that mysterious voice spread across the entire Dongling Continent—it must be this ancient demon.”
…
At that moment, a guest expert who had been staring into the distance shook his head, “It’s too late. He’s already here.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed. How could it arrive so quickly? But when they looked into the distance, the towering figure of the ancient demon already stood outside the city walls.
Lin Fan gazed at the scene before him—the vast imperial city stretched endlessly, home to billions of people.
With just one breath, the ancient demon might suck away the souls and essence of all those people.
“Damn, how am I supposed to show off now?” Lin Fan floated in midair, his face filled with frustration.
Then he gritted his teeth, “I’ll give it a shot. No matter what, I can’t let these billions of people die in vain.”
Just as the people in the imperial city were overwhelmed with fear,
A voice suddenly echoed through the heavens.
“Exhibitionist! Turn around and face me!” Lin Fan shouted with his true energy.
“Hmph…” The ancient demon roared in anger upon hearing this voice, as if another foolish ant had dared to challenge it, clearly displeased.
When the ancient demon turned its head,
Lin Fan unleashed several sword intentions straight at its eyes.
“Clang… Clang…”
“Damn, it’s this tough?” Even the indestructible sword intentions, aimed at the demon’s most vulnerable spot—the eyes—failed to penetrate its defenses.
This… this…
“Exhibitionist, take this palm strike!” Lin Fan swung his right palm downward, unleashing boundless might from the heavens, suppressing everything.
But to Lin Fan’s shock, his normally unstoppable palm strike was completely ineffective against the ancient demon.
That overwhelming aura, which usually crushed all resistance, was useless here.
“Boom…”
The palm struck the ancient demon’s head, but it didn’t produce the result Lin Fan had initially expected.
In Lin Fan’s mind, the demon’s head should have exploded like a watermelon. Instead, the demon merely shook its head, then roared furiously, locking its gaze on Lin Fan.
“Oh crap, I’m in trouble now,” Lin Fan thought, realizing his predicament.
But at this moment, he absolutely couldn’t back down.
With one hand behind his back and two fingers raised, Lin Fan pointed at the ancient demon, declaring boldly,
“Little monster, dare to fight me for three hundred rounds? I’ll beat you so badly you’ll soil yourself and be paralyzed! Do you dare accept the challenge?”
“Ant…” Enraged, the ancient demon roared, swung its iron chain, and struck toward Lin Fan.
Seeing the chain tear through the air, splitting the void itself, Lin Fan’s hair stood on end. He turned and fled, but while running, he kept shouting,
“What kind of ancient demon are you? In my eyes, you’re just a pile of dog crap! Come on, I’ll teach you how to be a demon!”
“You dare insult this emperor, you insignificant pest!”
…
When the ancient demon chased after the mysterious figure, the people in the imperial city couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“I never thought I’d live to see someone who dares to face an ancient demon fearlessly,” a guest expert murmured, gazing into the distance.
Many other guests nodded in agreement, filled with admiration.
As for Lin Fan at this moment, his troublesome days had just begun.
