Lin Fan never expected things to turn out this way. This despicable scene should not exist between heaven and earth—it was simply a disgrace to the moral order.
Yet this was precisely the spectacle Lin Fan was delighted to witness.
The Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats, at the third stage of the Dongtian境 within the Divine Realm, was indeed far more powerful than Lin Fan. However, this immense strength was built upon his Dongtian.
It was like the Patriarch was an emperor possessing vast territories but no soldiers, while Lin Fan had no vast lands, but possessed countless troops at his command.
This was a fundamental difference.
If Lin Fan could refine his own Cave-Heaven, then experts like the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats would be easily crushed beneath his hand.
Now, “Big Fan Ge” had unleashed boundless power, directly shattering the Patriarch’s offensive. What remained for Lin Fan was now exceedingly simple.
However, those densely packed Black Heaven Bat Kings were still a troublesome issue. If they were not completely eradicated, they might bring disaster upon him.
These Black Heaven Bat Kings had already lost their senses under the influence of “Big Fan Ge”—in this moment, their only instinct was to strike at living beings.
If Hongyun and the others saw the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats in his current state, they would surely be shocked beyond belief.
For someone as terrifying, bloody, and cruel as the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats to stoop so low—to the point of not even sparing his own bats—was truly despicable.
Originally, Lin Fan had intended to use “Feitian” to strike the Patriarch by surprise, piercing through him.
But when he saw the pitiful expressions on Xiguang and Longxuan’s faces, Lin Fan could only sigh helplessly.
It seemed that even the artifact spirits had been frightened by such a monstrous sight.
Still, Lin Fan recalled what the Fairy Hongyun had said—that the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats was extremely difficult to kill. He just didn’t know to what extent that difficulty would manifest.
“True Ultimate Destruction Kick!”
Lin Fan kicked out, space trembled, and his True Dao Seed instantly activated. Slaying these densely packed Black Heaven Bat Kings one by one would take an unknown amount of time.
In an instant, his cave heaven violently trembled, and countless destructive kicks surged forth, launching toward the Black Heaven Bat Kings.
“Cursed human, I will kill you and drain every bit of your essence, leaving you nothing but a dried corpse!” The Patriarch roared furiously. Though his expression was filled with rage, his body betrayed him.
He grabbed a Black Heaven Bat King in his hands and mercilessly played with it.
“Cursed!” The Patriarch was truly losing his mind now—he wanted to stop, but his body no longer obeyed him.
“Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats, stop whining. Embrace your true self and follow your heart to the peak of life,” Lin Fan said with a straight face, spouting nonsense.
The “True Ultimate Destruction Kick” was one of the four evil techniques Lin Fan had mastered.
Though these techniques had not yet reached their peak, even at their current level, their power was already heaven-defying. These were Lin Fan’s unique secret arts—only he in all of heaven and earth could wield them.
Boom! Boom!
A cacophony echoed across the heavens. Under this kick, all the Black Heaven Bat Kings lost their combat ability, trembling as they fell to the ground, trying to fly again but writhing in pain.
Squeak! Squeak!
Their sharp, pitiful cries filled the air. If they could speak, they would surely curse Lin Fan to his face.
At this moment, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats appeared. Without hesitation, Lin Fan immediately summoned the Eternal Axe.
“Annihilation!”
He swung the axe, as if splitting the heavens themselves. A blade of axe-light pierced through the cave heaven, heading straight for the Patriarch. The overwhelming force was utterly unstoppable for the unguarded Patriarch, who was instantly split in two.
“Indeed, he’s quite difficult to kill,” Lin Fan frowned. Since he hadn’t heard the system notification, the Patriarch was clearly not yet dead.
“You can’t kill me!” The Patriarch roared in an instant, “Within this cave heaven, you can never kill me!”
“Hmph, there’s no such thing as immortality under heaven and earth,” Lin Fan coldly snorted, refusing to believe the Patriarch’s claim.
Even after cultivating to the ninth layer of the “Blood Sea Demon Arts”—the “Dripping Blood Rebirth” realm—he dared not claim invincibility. What right did the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats have to declare himself immortal?
Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. In the blink of an eye, he unleashed hundreds of palm strikes, effortlessly combining various techniques. For Lin Fan, he had already mastered and integrated all his martial arts into an extremely advanced state.
“One Finger Annihilation!”
Lin Fan’s robe fluttered as he hovered in midair. His right hand gently extended toward the Dongtian. With that single finger, ripples spread outward, and the Xu Xu within the Dongtian began to collapse piece by piece.
Thousands of Black Heaven Bat Kings instantly turned to dust. Meanwhile, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats died countless times, only to revive instantly before Lin Fan each time.
“Damn you! You can’t kill me! Though I don’t know what you’ve done to me, I can already feel your power gradually weakening. Once I completely resist your force, I will make you wish you were dead!” The Patriarch roared with bloodshot eyes.
Lin Fan fell into deep thought. Could it be that the Patriarch was truly immortal?
But that was absolutely impossible. There was no such thing as an immortal being in this world—even the so-called “Ancient” beings eventually perished.
The Patriarch must be relying on this cave heaven.
“Let’s add a little more spice,” Lin Fan said, flicking his hand and handing the matter over to the Spirit of Big Fan Ge.
“At once, Master.”
Hundreds of Black Heaven Bat Kings had already been brutally killed by the Patriarch, and due to the endless release of power, the “Big Fan Ge” energy within Lin Fan was gradually dissipating.
“Hehe,臭bat，别小看我，” Big Fan Ge’s Spirit sneered, releasing a thick cloud of mist that enveloped the Patriarch amidst his terrified cries.
“Master, I just discovered that every time you kill the Patriarch, hundreds of Black Heaven Bat Kings explode. I think his infinite resurrection must be connected to them,” Longxuan, who had been observing the scene, spoke up.
“Oh? Is that so?” Lin Fan pointed a finger, sending forth a sword intent that tore through the Patriarch while he closely observed the entire Dongtian.
Sure enough, just as Longxuan had said—when the Patriarch died, hundreds of Black Heaven Bat Kings exploded, transforming into blood mist that merged into the Dongtian.
“So that’s the reason you can resurrect endlessly. Looks like next time, you won’t be so lucky,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
“Cursed!” The Patriarch’s face darkened. He never expected to be seen through by this human.
Lin Fan didn’t say more. Gripping the Eternal Axe, he closed his eyes slightly, his essence, spirit, and power rising. His spiritual energy gathered, and a vast radiance condensed upon the Eternal Axe.
This power condensed into a single point of light, continuously compressing, containing terrifying force.
“Though breaking through your洞天 may still be unrealistic, slaying all your Black Heaven Bat Kings is no problem at all,” Lin Fan said, stepping forward. Gripping the axe with both hands, he swung down like a primordial god cleaving the heavens.
No!
The Patriarch screamed with a shattered heart. He never imagined he would fall into the hands of a human.
His supposedly immortal and indestructible body had been seen through by this cursed human. He refused to accept it!
Light erupted. This strike, infused with all of Lin Fan’s essence and power, tore through space. Wherever it passed, nothing remained. Countless Black Heaven Bat Kings didn’t even have time to scream before turning to dust and vanishing from the cave heaven.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the Dongtian. Countless Black Heaven Bat Kings were completely eradicated, and the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats was now reduced to ashes by this single axe strike.
“Ding! Congratulations, you have slain the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats.”
“Ding! Congratulations, experience increased by 200,000.”
“Ding! Congratulations,洞天Fragment acquired.”
“Ding! Congratulations, the Ten Thousand Bat Indestructible Demon Art acquired.”
Lin Fan hadn’t expected the Patriarch to bring so much experience, nor did he expect to obtain a martial art scroll—this was something he hadn’t anticipated.
Unlike the fragment from King Wei, the cave-heaven fragment from the Patriarch wasn’t as hard. Lin Fan immediately refined it, integrating it into his own domain, compensating for its deficiencies, making it stronger and more stable, and paving the way for his future cave-heaven.
However, the “Ten Thousand Bat Indestructible Demon Art” left Lin Fan a bit troubled.
“Master, if I cultivate this, I will become even stronger,” the ancient great demon said.
Lin Fan glanced through the “Ten Thousand Bat Indestructible Demon Art.” It was an extremely sinister martial art, but suitable for the ancient great demon. He tossed it directly to him for cultivation.
“Master, quickly make some Holy Sun Pills. Otherwise, our cultivation speed is too slow,” the ancient great demon said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan didn’t even want to reply. *What? You think your cultivation speed is slow?*
Still, if he had Holy Sun Pills, it would be much easier. Although the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Bats was formidable, if Lin Fan could continuously detonate Holy Sun Pills, even the Patriarch’s cave heaven would certainly be blown apart.
Unfortunately, the “Holy Sun Pill” was extremely difficult to obtain.
Which powerful cultivator would be foolish enough not to use it to enhance their own strength, but instead refine it into a Holy Sun Pill?
