The heart of Wanfu Ancestor was shaken. He couldn’t even take this Dao artifact—it was simply too incredible. With his current cultivation, he could even grasp an entire mountain in one hand.
Yet he was determined to obtain this Dao artifact and would absolutely not give up.
Dao artifacts were rare treasures. Even after wandering the Ancient Sage Realm for so long, he had never successfully seized one.
“Boy, although I don’t know what secret technique you’ve employed, whatever I set my sights on will inevitably become mine. If you don’t want to die disgracefully, surrender now and hand over the Dao artifact obediently.”
Wanfu Ancestor looked down contemptuously at Lin Fan and the others. Countless massive blood bats spread their wings and screeched shrilly.
Their hideous, bloodthirsty appearance sent tremors through Tianyun’s heart, their faces filled with terror.
Although Wanfu Ancestor’s cultivation wasn’t overwhelmingly formidable, his methods were extremely brutal. Even cultivators stronger than him could fall victim to his attacks if caught off guard, their blood completely drained, their essence and spirit utterly dissipated.
He was not someone to confront head-on.
At the same time, Tianyun and the others felt helpless. If it were any other Tianyuan-stage expert, they might have had a chance to escape, but they had encountered someone as monstrous as Wanfu Ancestor.
At this moment, Tianyun and Mu Qing turned their gazes toward Lin Fan. At this critical juncture, Lin Fan had become their pillar of support—their only hope for survival now rested on him.
“Wanfu Ancestor?” Lin Fan stepped forward, his aura suddenly erupting and suppressing the surrounding blood bats.
Although these blood bats weren’t particularly powerful, their sheer numbers made them troublesome.
“That’s right, it’s me. Boy, hand over the Dao artifact, and perhaps I’ll be in a good mood and spare your lives,” Wanfu Ancestor said.
His sharp nose twitched slightly, capable of detecting the essence of all living beings.
“The surging, powerful human blood coursing through your veins is truly a delicacy. For someone like you, I’ll keep you in my domain, extracting your blood daily, enduring unbearable pain. However, if you willingly hand over the Dao artifact, I swear I won’t harm you,” Wanfu Ancestor’s mind was completely consumed by the Dao artifact.
For Wanfu Ancestor, following Yunzong’s footsteps into this hidden realm had originally been an opportunity to plunder some treasures. He hadn’t expected to encounter these isolated disciples.
Moreover, one of them actually possessed a Dao artifact—an omen of his good fortune, in Wanfu Ancestor’s eyes.
Yunzong was a colossal sect in the Ancient Sage Realm, a sect powerful enough to rival ancient clans.
It was filled with experts from various races, all the outstanding talents of different clans gathered under its banner.
Therefore, despite his ambitions, Wanfu Ancestor dared not openly confront Yunzong.
Previously, he had once drained the blood of a Yunzong disciple, only to be chased for days by several elders of Yunzong. In the end, an elder had struck him down with a single blow. If not for one surviving blood bat, he would have perished long ago.
“You swear not to kill us, but you’ll let your blood bats drain our essence. Do you take us for three-year-olds?” Lin Fan sneered.
“Hmph, I’ve given you a chance to live, yet you don’t cherish it. Then I’ll kill you one by one before seizing this Dao artifact.” At this moment, Wanfu Ancestor became enraged, emitting a fierce, savage aura that surged toward Lin Fan like ocean waves.
“I’ll protect your escape. Once I shake off Wanfu Ancestor, I’ll come find you,” Lin Fan calmly said, throwing a punch behind him.
This punch was vast and boundless, devastating and unstoppable, embodying Lin Fan’s mastery of martial techniques. A mighty fist deity roared in rage, and in an instant, millions of punches were unleashed, completely obliterating the blood bats blocking their path.
“Take care yourselves,” Hongyun Fairy understood that their presence would not aid Lin Fan and might even become a burden.
“Don’t worry. This stinky bat wants to kill me? He’s not capable yet,” Lin Fan said.
Tianyun looked at Lin Fan, then clasped his fists together.
The three of them transformed into streaks of light and departed.
Wanfu Ancestor did not attempt to stop them. After all, his target was Lin Fan. As long as Lin Fan remained, these ants could escape for now.
Hongyun Fairy and the others moved swiftly, quickly exiting the range of Wanfu Ancestor’s blood bats.
“Senior sister, do you think he’ll be okay?” Tianyun asked anxiously.
“I don’t know, but I think he should be fine,” Hongyun Fairy replied uncertainly. “Right now, we must hurry to find the elders. If we’re quick enough, we might return to rescue him.”
“That’s all we can do.”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan and Wanfu Ancestor stood in confrontation. In Wanfu Ancestor’s eyes, this opponent was already like fish meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
“Boy, not bad. Knowing you can’t win, you let them escape. But don’t worry, after I kill you, they won’t escape my grasp either,” Wanfu Ancestor sneered.
“What a lot of nonsense. Fine, let me see what abilities you Tianyuan-stage cultivators truly possess,” Lin Fan said, flicking his sleeve and radiating a fierce fighting spirit, eager to test the difference between himself and a Tianyuan-stage expert at the third level of Divine Heaven.
“Arrogant beyond measure—Fushen Demon Cavern!”
At this moment, Wanfu Ancestor threw a punch, sending out circular waves of blood radiating outward from his fist.
“Endure the pain within my domain! I’ve already decided that this Dao artifact will be mine,” Wanfu Ancestor greedily eyed the priceless treasure.
Especially the aura emanating from the Dao artifact, it thrilled Wanfu Ancestor immensely. The rich bloodline radiating from the artifact’s spirit made Wanfu Ancestor feel that if he could absorb this blood, his domain would advance once more.
These blood waves rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping Lin Fan. The sky above was no longer bright but entirely crimson.
Above, the heavens were dyed a deep red, shifting and moving as if covered in layers of flesh.
But Lin Fan knew—they were all blood bats. This was Wanfu Ancestor’s domain.
No matter what lifeform entered this domain, it would be drained dry by countless blood bats.
Lin Fan loved defeating stronger foes, but after entering the Divine Heaven stage, he discovered that each level gap was like a chasm.
It had become extremely difficult to overcome such gaps as he had before.
But for Lin Fan, he would turn the impossible into the possible. What if his opponent was a Tianyuan-stage expert at the third level of Divine Heaven? With his own hands and the help of his system, he would crush everything, transforming the impossible into reality.
Possessing countless advanced supreme techniques and numerous miraculous items as powerful as game-breaking bugs.
Today, he would engage in a fierce battle with this so-called expert of the third level of Divine Heaven.
