Chapter 549: I can’t run anymore, I’m exhausted.

Boundless momentum spread across the heavens and earth. Black clouds churned and filled the void.

The sky, which had been clear just moments ago, darkened completely in an instant, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Pitch-black lightning tore through the void, radiating an overwhelming force of destruction that filled the entire expanse.

“Such immense power.”

Lin Fan felt this force and was utterly stunned.

He never expected that the King Wei would be so petty. After all, he had only destroyed a fragment of King Wei’s divine soul, yet King Wei had actually descended in his true form. Was he truly being this ruthless?

What frustrated Lin Fan the most, however, was that novels were all lies.

According to typical novel tropes, after he had destroyed the Divine King Wei’s divine soul, the Divine King Wei would merely hate him and issue a few threats, vowing to kill him one day.

But now, the King Wei had not hesitated at all upon losing his divine soul and had descended in his true form, filled with rage.

Thinking back, those tropes were all fake.

“Run.”

In that instant, Lin Fan only had one thought in his mind: run as far as he could. He absolutely couldn’t stay even for a moment, or he might die without even knowing how.

“Though near, yet far apart; the long river of the earth spirits.”

Lin Fan exerted himself to the utmost, immediately sprinting toward the distance.

“咫尺天涯” was a divine technique, and with the enhancement of Tuling Changhe, his speed became even faster.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan vanished from the spot.

Boom!

A deafening roar split the heavens and earth apart. A massive rift tore through the sky, through which sun, moon, and stars flowed. It was the most domineering entrance anyone could ever make.

A gigantic, terrifying head emerged from the rift. A pair of indescribable, horrifying, and gloomy eyes swept across the heavens and earth. That enormous mouth seemed capable of devouring the entire ancient Holy Realm in a single bite.

“You insignificant human, if you think you can escape from my grasp, then you’re just dreaming,” Veking’s gloomy voice echoed out.

“Explode, explode!” Lin Fan activated the Wutong Divine Tree and ran with all his might, the terrifying aura constantly lingering around him.

“I should’ve shaken him off by now, right?” Lin Fan didn’t know where he had run to, nor whether or not the Prince of Might was still chasing him.

But the moment Lin Fan turned his head to look at the void, he nearly jumped in fright.

A massive head was wedged in the gap, following closely above him.

“Damn it, is there really no path left for me to survive?” Lin Fan exclaimed in shock, immediately feeling a surge of helplessness. Especially upon witnessing the威君王’s immense power, his mind went completely blank.

Shentian Seventh Stage – Wanfa Guiyi.

The Shentian realm had ten stages: the True Law Stage, the Domain Stage, the Dongtian Stage, the Immortality Stage, the Divine Soul Stage, the Law Stage, the Wanfa Guiyi Stage, the Divine Pill Stage of Heaven and Earth, the Eight Desolations Unification Stage, and the Eternal Divine Stage.

Lin Fan had knowledge of these stages in his heart, but they were still unfamiliar to him. After all, Lin Fan himself had only reached the peak of the Huantian realm.

The only human experts he had ever seen were Yuan Tiandi and others, but even then, Lin Fan didn’t know exactly what cultivation realm Yuan Tiandi and the others were in. However, he assumed they should be slightly stronger than the Wei Junwang.

Of course, this was merely Lin Fan’s guess.

Currently, the King Wei was at the Seventh Stage, Wanfa Guiyi, where all cultivation, essence, energy, and spirit were fused together without distinction. All True Law seeds were condensed into one, and every movement carried immense power.

“Hmph, still trying to run?” King Wei roared furiously, closely following behind Lin Fan.

At this roar, the heavens and earth seemed to resonate. Beams of light, like swords, pierced through everything, rushing toward Lin Fan.

“Damn it, what the hell is this now?” Lin Fan’s hair stood on end in fear. Without hesitation, he immediately began evading in a zigzag pattern.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

These beams pierced through the earth, directly penetrating it.

Puchi!

“So painful,” Lin Fan winced, cold sweat pouring down his face.

“Ding! Congratulations,《Genggu Bumie》experience increased by 100,000.”

“Ding! Physical body strength upgraded.”

“Ding! Physical body strength: Huantian Initial Stage.”

His physical body had already reached the peak of Qingtian, yet against these blade-like beams, it was as fragile as paper, pierced through effortlessly.

If it weren’t for his agile dodging, he would have been riddled with holes by now.

Moreover, what use was all this experience now? Unless he really wanted to die and use it to level up.

“You insignificant pest who dares offend me shall only meet death,” said the Emperor of Majesty, extending his arm from the rift. The massive hand, blocking out the sky and sun, gently clenched, causing the entire area within a hundred miles to violently tremble.

A stream of destructive force transformed into fine threads, filling the land. These threads surged rapidly from all directions, closing in on Lin Fan.

Bang!

Seeing this force, Lin Fan didn’t hesitate at all and leaped out from the ground.

“Damn it, there’s absolutely no way to confront this directly,” Lin Fan was now at a loss. He had originally planned to escape with his agile movements, but now he realized it was nothing but self-deception.

The gap in power had rendered everything else meaningless.

Even if his movements were as agile as ever and the Earth Spirit Long River was as miraculous as always, they were of no use.

Was it possible that just after declaring himself the Human Emperor, he was destined to perish here?

So tragic, so desolate.

“Insect, why have you stopped running?” Lord Wei looked at the desperately fleeing insect and sneered.

“I’m not running anymore; I can’t run anymore,” Lin Fan surrendered immediately. Fighting head-on would only lead to a quicker death. It was better to show weakness now and buy himself some time to think of a better plan.

Even in Lin Fan’s mind, if the opponent wasn’t too intelligent and allowed himself to be tricked into revealing a weakness, perhaps he could knock him out with a single brick blow.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan’s hope reignited.

“Hehe, Human Emperor, my true form has already descended. I’m genuinely curious to know how you could make me only last two moves against you. I’m quite intrigued,” said the King of Majesty, gradually shrinking in size as he floated out from the rift. His imposing figure stood between heaven and earth, coldly gazing at Lin Fan.

That cold gaze looked at Lin Fan as if he were nothing more than an ant.

Lin Fan looked awkwardly at the King Wei, feeling helpless inside. He hadn’t expected this person to still hold a grudge over that incident.

However, in an instant, Lin Fan’s eyes flickered with an idea. He wasn’t sure if it would work, but regardless, he had to give it a try.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s expression subtly changed. With a sly smile, he said, “How could that be? You, the Divine King, possess unparalleled divine skills and are mighty and extraordinary. In another hundred years or so, you will surely become the supreme existence among the ancient races. How dare I, a mere human, be disrespectful?”

At this moment, Lin Fan had completely abandoned his dignity. If the beings of the myriad races saw their most revered Human Emperor, the one they admired the most, actually yielding to the威君王, they would be utterly heartbroken beyond words.

But right now, only Lin Fan and the Prince of Wei were here. If he continued to act arrogantly, the Prince of Wei would certainly teach him a lesson. At that point, he would truly have no hope left.
