Inside, Azure Sage Patriarch was ecstatic. “Refine it, quickly refine it! Once his true energy flows in, my spring will finally arrive.”
He had been sealed here for an incredibly long time—so long that he had lost track of the years.
To Azure Sage Patriarch, the Ten Thousand Slaughter Ancient Domain was a cursed place, a realm of pure hatred. That detestable human had dared to seal him away.
He had been trapped here for ten thousand years, sealed by the power of “Oppressive Killing Qi,” the very force that maintained the domain. This “Oppressive Killing Qi” contained endless battle will from countless beings of the Great Thousand Races. As long as that battle will remained, he could never escape.
What enraged Azure Sage Patriarch even more was that if the “Oppressive Killing Qi” were to vanish in an instant, the entire Ten Thousand Slaughter Ancient Domain would collapse—and with it, he himself would perish.
Thus, for ten thousand years, he had been helpless, enduring nothing but loneliness and suppression.
But now, an opportunity had finally arrived. An ignorant being from the Great Thousand Races, due to a unique cultivation technique, had absorbed nearly all the “Oppressive Killing Qi” of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Ancient Domain, leaving only a thin thread to sustain it.
To Azure Sage Patriarch, such an opportunity was rare beyond imagination—how could he possibly let it slip away?
What pleased him even further was that this being from the Great Thousand Races had become blinded by greed in the face of treasure and had actually believed his words.
He understood that beings of the Great Thousand Races craved above all else infinite power and endless opportunities.
And to them, he was precisely the embodiment of that opportunity.
“Refine it… quickly refine it.”
Azure Sage Patriarch had endured enough of this place. Once this being from the Great Thousand Races refined the so-called “Heavenly Sage Imperial Treasure Talisman,” he would exchange bodies with him and finally escape this torment.
…
“Senior, I’m going to begin refining it now,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
To Azure Sage Patriarch, this smile was both ridiculous and endearing.
Never had he imagined his first opportunity would be so lucky—meeting such a fool.
“Junior, go ahead and refine it. We are both of the Great Thousand Races—we must unite against the Ancient Clans,” Azure Sage Patriarch urged eagerly.
“Alright,” Lin Fan smiled, but suddenly paused, “Oh, by the way, Senior, you said the Ancient Clans are really stupid, right? And really despicable?”
Azure Sage Patriarch was momentarily stunned, not understanding why the other had suddenly said this. But at a moment like this, how could he hesitate? He quickly replied.
“Yes, the Ancient Clans are foolish, all of them despicable!” Though a trace of anger flickered in his heart, his tone remained urgent. At this point, he would say anything to escape.
Lin Fan smiled again. “Exactly. That’s exactly what I think too.”
“Junior, quickly refine it. Such a treasure can only belong to you,” urged Azure Sage Patriarch.
Lin Fan smiled faintly, his hand gently touching the “Heavenly Sage Imperial Treasure Talisman.” In an instant, his True Energy Seed began to rotate, and the “Great Fan Brother” surged forth.
“Senior, I’ve already started channeling my true energy. Be ready to accept it,” Lin Fan said.
“Good!” Azure Sage Patriarch was thrilled. But in the next moment, his expression suddenly froze. “Wait, what did you say?”
“Hehe, you fool, dare to play tricks on me? Enjoy the gift I’ve prepared for you,” Lin Fan sneered coldly. Then, the power of “Great Fan Brother” erupted from within him.
A vast torrent of “Great Fan Brother” transformed into a dragon-like surge, pouring entirely into the “Heavenly Sage Imperial Treasure Talisman.”
The effect of “Great Fan Brother” was beyond extraordinary. No matter what kind of being it was, as long as it was alive, it would be overwhelmed by “Great Fan Brother.”
The “Heavenly Sage Imperial Treasure Talisman,” essentially the “Demon Seed Transformation Talisman,” was connected to Azure Sage Patriarch. But by the time he sensed something wrong, it was already too late.
“What is this?!” Azure Sage Patriarch received a massive surge of energy, initially mistaking it for the other’s true energy. But in an instant, he realized with horror that this force was highly invasive—it was even seeping into his very soul, despite him being only a fragment of consciousness.
“No…!” Azure Sage Patriarch roared. His originally weak consciousness suddenly flared with intense power.
That sudden surge came at a cost—his very essence was being consumed.
An unprecedented desire surged into his heart. He tried to resist, but found that this desire infiltrated every corner of his soul, unstoppable.
“Who are you really?!” Azure Sage Patriarch screamed, unable to believe what was happening.
“I don’t feel like answering that again. Listen well—this is my gift to make you go wild,” Lin Fan sneered. “You wanted my true energy and to exchange bodies with me? Today I’ll grant your wish—let’s see how you enjoy the power of Great Fan Brother.”
“How could you possibly have discovered…” Hearing this, Azure Sage Patriarch was immediately thrown into panic. He had hidden the “Heavenly Sage Imperial Treasure Talisman” so well that even experts at the peak of the Heaven-Defying Realm couldn’t have seen through it.
What he didn’t know was that although Lin Fan’s cultivation was not high, he possessed an omnipotent system. Before such a system, all concealment was meaningless.
“Haha, didn’t I just said earlier that the Ancient Clans are all fools? And you agreed with me. So tell me, don’t you finally realize how foolish your Ancient Clans truly are?” Lin Fan laughed.
At this moment, Lin Fan, observing through the “Great Fan Brother,” realized this was merely a fragment of consciousness—harmless, nothing but an illusionist.
“Hmph, a consciousness with no cultivation at all dares to play tricks in front of me? Today, I’ll show you exactly what your fate will be,” Lin Fan roared. His figure flickered, and he charged straight into the cave.
Azure Sage Patriarch’s mind was in chaos, his consciousness violently shaking. “You can’t get in! The seal at the cave entrance is not something you can break… How is this possible?”
Even now, Azure Sage Patriarch still held no fear of Lin Fan. Though he didn’t know exactly what had happened, the idea that this person could enter the cave and subdue him was simply absurd.
After all, even experts at the peak of the Heaven-Defying Realm couldn’t break through the cave’s seals.
But in the next instant, he realized with horror that the man had actually entered the cave—the seals inside had become completely useless.
“No, this can’t be…!” Azure Sage Patriarch screamed in disbelief. He couldn’t accept that this man had actually entered the cave.
Lin Fan didn’t care what the other was wailing about. Although Azure Sage Patriarch was now only a fragment of consciousness with no cultivation, he had once been a mighty being. His consciousness must be incredibly strong. If the “Demon City” could absorb it, it would surely be of great value.
“Little trash, here I come! Remember my words—pretending to be mighty is dangerous. Impersonating a great cultivator is just asking for death!” Lin Fan shouted wildly before vanishing into the cave.
The executioner’s blade was already raised. Today, this one would be cut down.
