“Human, obediently become the nourishment for my Soul Devouring Demon Bead.” The ancient warrior chief roared, clapping his hands and unleashing a surge of thick saintly energy that activated the “Soul Devouring Demon Bead.”
Instantly, a wave of resentment arose in the void, countless grotesque faces within it screaming in agony. These were the lingering resentments of the Great Thousand Races.
He was the chief of the ancient race, capturing members of the Great Thousand Races, tormenting them mercilessly until their resentment exploded forth, which he then refined using special techniques into a terrifying artifact.
The bead instantly expanded, each jet-black bead transforming into a horrifying skull. A dense cluster of skulls roared furiously.
“Hahahaha… Human, your doom has arrived,” the ancient warrior chief laughed maniacally as he gazed at the rising tide of resentment.
Li Tianquan had nearly finished healing his wounds and now stood up, his slender hands forming a series of intricate seals.
“Stars Shattered!”
In an instant, Li Tianquan summoned the power of the stars, channeling a beam of stellar energy that surged forth and struck the “Soul Devouring Demon Bead.”
“Devour it!” the ancient warrior chief roared. The 999 skulls bellowed deafeningly, black mist covering the sky. Instantly, the 999 skulls combined into one colossal skull.
Within this giant skull, dark flames burned, and then it opened its massive mouth, swallowing the beam of stellar energy whole.
“Hahahaha…” The ancient warrior chief laughed with a sinister grin. “Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly foolish.”
“This…” Li Tianquan spat out a mouthful of blood, his injuries not yet fully healed. Using the stellar energy forcefully had backfired on him.
“Today, you all shall die here,” the ancient warrior chief bellowed.
…
“Quickly, escape, juniors and seniors,” Li Tianquan said.
“Senior brother, what about you?”
“I must stay. This brother saved us; how could I abandon him?” Li Tianquan stared fearlessly at the swirling resentment in the sky.
This time, he truly felt that there was no hope left. Yet, deep down, he felt不甘—why? Why did the will of the Ancient Holy Realm protect these cruel ancient races?
…
“Is this the legendary artifact that no one from the Great Thousand Races can forge?” Lin Fan observed the scene with a contemptuous smirk.
Though he didn’t fully understand the situation, if this so-called artifact was truly powerful, then what had he forged?
“You dare fear me?” the ancient warrior chief said.
“Fear?” Lin Fan laughed at this moment. “Is there anything in this world that Lin Fan fears? Open your dog eyes wide and witness what a real artifact looks like.”
“Emerald City, arise…”
Lin Fan roared, and a monstrous city soared into the sky, floating in the void.
“This is impossible…” Li Tianquan, witnessing the artifact emerging from Lin Fan, wore an expression of disbelief.
For members of the Great Thousand Races, obtaining such an artifact required slaying an ancient race warrior and seizing it by force; forging one themselves was simply impossible.
The “Emerald City,” originally only palm-sized, radiated a thick demonic aura as it expanded, growing until it blotted out the sky.
“Rip it apart!”
Roar!
At the center of the “Emerald City,” the majestic figure of an ancient demon stood. A massive hand shot forth, as though the entire world lay within its palm.
The power of the Earth Spirit River surged into the ancient demon’s hand.
Boom!
The grotesque, colossal skull roared furiously, its endless black mist entwining around the ancient demon’s hand, attempting to devour it. But to the ancient demon, these were nothing more than ants.
Although the “Emerald City” was merely a half-finished pseudo-divine artifact, after Lin Fan’s refinement, fusing it with the Earth Spirit River and absorbing the essence of countless ancient beasts, it had become vastly superior.
“How can you, a human, possess such a treasure?” the ancient warrior chief shouted in disbelief.
“Suppress it…” Lin Fan coldly snorted as the Earth Spirit River shot forth from the “Emerald City,” wrapping around the ancient demon’s massive hand.
“Boom!”
With a muffled sound, the ancient demon crushed the giant skull directly, shattering it into countless fragments of resentment floating in the void.
“No! My Soul Devouring Demon Bead!” The ancient warrior chief’s eyes turned blood-red as he refused to believe what he was seeing—his treasured artifact destroyed by a human.
“No! Reunite!”
The shattered fragments of resentment tried to reassemble, but to the ancient demon, these were all nourishing treasures. Instantly, it opened its massive mouth, unleashing a mighty suction force that devoured the fragments.
“No…” Watching his painstakingly gathered resentment fragments being absorbed, the ancient warrior chief was devastated. “Damn human, you destroyed my treasure. I’ll kill you!”
Lin Fan, seeing the furious ancient warrior chief, felt a surge of exhilaration. Now, this ancient warrior chief was nothing more than meat upon his chopping block.
But he wouldn’t die so easily.
“Blades of Sword Qi!”
At Lin Fan’s command, countless sword beams, infused with the aura of the Earth Spirit River, sank into the ground, while the “Flying Blade” hid within.
He wondered how effective the “Flying Blade” would prove—it was about to see its first battle.
“I’ll kill you!” Roaring with rage, the ancient warrior chief unleashed a punch brimming with infinite might. The heavens and earth dimmed under its power, locking onto Lin Fan, who seemed unable to move.
At this moment, Lin Fan realized that the ancient warrior chief he had been eyeing possessed the cultivation level of Heaven’s Might, and he hadn’t taken him seriously before.
But now he understood—he had been mistaken.
The ancient warrior chief before him was only at the middle stage of Heaven’s Might cultivation, yet the power he unleashed was extraordinary. If not for his earlier carelessness, he might have lasted a few exchanges against Lin Fan.
Unfortunately, it was too late now.
At this moment, the ancient warrior chief had only one thought: to slaughter this human mercilessly, devouring his blood and flesh to quench his fury.
“Die…”
Watching the furious ancient warrior chief, Lin Fan smiled and, with a thought, summoned the hidden sword beams from the earth.
“Whoosh!”
“You…” The ancient warrior chief was pierced by the sword beams, like a porcupine. “Despicable human, you can’t kill me.”
Roaring furiously, the ancient warrior chief shattered the sword beams piercing his body. Foul black blood gushed out, enhancing his terrifying aura.
This fearsome presence sent chills down the spines of the Star Pavilion disciples.
“Hehe, be careful…” Lin Fan said calmly.
“Hmph…” Seeing Lin Fan’s expression, the ancient warrior chief felt a sudden sense of foreboding.
“Fly!”
Whoosh!
In an instant, a flash of cold light pierced through everything, spinning rapidly as it erupted from the earth, aiming straight at the ancient warrior chief’s backside.
The ancient warrior chief’s expression darkened, and he screamed in pain and terror, “What in the world is that…”
Before he could finish speaking, a shocking scene unfolded.
The ancient warrior chief actually shot into the sky.
Boom!
Flesh and blood scattered, turning into dust.
“Uh… That’s terrifying,” Lin Fan was stunned, never expecting the outcome to be so extreme.
The “Flying Blade,” which had pierced through everything, unleashed an astonishingly powerful force upon entering the ancient warrior chief’s body.
Zing!
The “Flying Blade” flashed past and then plunged into the ground before Lin Fan.
At this moment, Lin Fan realized a problem—he had chosen the wrong name.
“Lightning Poison Dragon Drill, soaring into the heavens.”
