Chapter 588: A Bit of Effort Was Required

The scene before him was somewhat shocking to the eyes, yet strangely, it stirred a sense of shame and excitement within Lin Fan.

“Lin Fan, how dare you humiliate me! I swear I will kill you in this lifetime!”

“You want to kill me? Then do it! Even as a ghost, I will never let you go! Ah! Ah!”

Luo Yi endured the electrifying sensations, his mind wavering under the overwhelming stimulation. Though not a top-tier Divine Heaven expert, he was still a formidable Undead Realm cultivator within the Ancient Holy World.

Yet now, he was being humiliated by a human no better than an animal. How could he possibly endure such disgrace?

“Hmph! How dare you speak to my master like that! It seems you’ve fallen too deep to be saved. Brother Longxuan, use your Flying Spear to pierce his ass!” Thunder Discipline Sage turned his head and shouted furiously.

If even a Buddha could reveal killing intent when angered, how much more so for the twisted Thunder Discipline Sage?

“Erm… cough!” Longxuan pretended not to hear those words.

“Hmph! Today, I, the Thunder Discipline Sage, shall prove that I can break you!” Thunder Discipline Sage roared, his techniques becoming increasingly bizarre and cruel.

At this moment, Luo Yi was like fish meat on a chopping board, a puppet in Thunder Discipline Sage’s hands, being toyed with, degraded, and humiliated.

“Ahhh!”

Thunder Discipline Sage’s fingers trembled, channeling powerful lightning currents. “Increase the voltage!”

“Yes, Headmaster!” The brainwashed children, now his assistants, responded promptly.

“Headmaster, the voltage is increasing. His heartbeat is accelerating, but he still resists,” one child reported solemnly, as if describing a particularly stubborn adversary.

“Boost the voltage to maximum!” the Thunder Discipline Sage commanded. “Today, I shall prove that I can reform you!”

Lin Fan, watching the scene unfold, had long since lost the will to speak.

What else was there to do?

With the Great Fan Spirit and Thunder Discipline Sage around, his Inner World had completely lost its dignity.

Could anyone survive once captured by these two?

“Lin Fan, I, Luo Yi, will never surrender! One day, I will return every ounce of this humiliation and torment you’ve inflicted upon me!” Luo Yi roared furiously, his body enduring unimaginable torment, his spiritual energy spilling out like a flood.

“What does that have to do with me? I’m not the one torturing you!” Lin Fan retorted, somewhat annoyed that Luo Yi had directed his anger toward him.

It was Thunder Discipline Sage and Great Fan Spirit who were doing all this. He should curse them, not me!

“Hmph! Still daring to be defiant! It seems I must now demonstrate my true skills to make you submit!” Thunder Discipline Sage was now thoroughly enraged.

In an instant, he flicked his fingers, summoning a whip of crackling lightning.

“Discipline techniques!”

Crack!

The sound of the whip echoed through the air.

Luo Yi roared in fury, his heart ablaze with rage. Yet, to his horror, a strange sensation began to stir within him.

It was shameful, yet accompanied by a sense of pleasure.

Each lash felt so good, so enticing, that it almost made him moan.

But for Luo Yi, how could he possibly allow himself to moan?

These bastards—I will definitely kill them all.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

However, as the lashes continued, Luo Yi was horrified to find himself on the verge of moaning involuntarily.

His inner defenses were completely shattered, leaving him utterly helpless.

“Ahhh, so good…”

At that moment, Luo Yi finally gave in, his face flushed red with pleasure, crying out in ecstasy.

But in the next instant, the Wutong Divine Tree suddenly surged with power.

Luo Yi’s spiritual energy and Inner World essence were continuously drawn into the Wutong Divine Tree.

“Mercy… spare me…” Luo Yi struggled to speak, but the moment the words left his mouth, he disintegrated into ashes.

“Wutong Divine Tree, couldn’t you have gone slower? Just when I had successfully disciplined him, you sucked him dry into a mummy! How despicable!” Thunder Discipline Sage grumbled angrily.

“Ding! Congratulations on defeating Luo Yi, a Divine Heaven Fourth Order Undead Realm expert.”

“Ding! Experience increased by 200,000.”

After Luo Yi’s death, Lin Fan received only experience points as rewards. However, Luo Yi’s entire cultivation foundation had been absorbed by the Wutong Divine Tree.

His spiritual energy, Inner World, and the essence of his flesh and blood were all drained, strengthening Lin Fan’s Inner World.

Ordinary cultivators required endless spiritual energy to develop their Inner World, but for Lin Fan, others’ strengths could be directly absorbed. This act of forceful plundering was incredibly satisfying.

Compared to his previously formed Inner World, it had at least tripled in power.

Even if Luo Yi borrowed a supreme-grade spiritual artifact and launched a full-power attack again, there was absolutely no way he could shatter Lin Fan’s current Inner World Crystal Wall.

This was a significant enhancement, a qualitative leap.

“Good! There’s still an Ancient Clan left to discipline!” Thunder Discipline Sage turned his gaze toward the Ancient Clan, his previously gloomy mood instantly replaced by excitement.

However, just as Thunder Discipline Sage was about to act, Lin Fan’s words dashed his hopes completely.

“Alright, stop playing around. Time is pressing. We’re still inside the secret realm,” Lin Fan said, pointing a finger. In an instant, the Ancient Clan member exploded, his flesh and blood scattering throughout the Inner World. But in the next moment, the Wutong Divine Tree absorbed everything, leaving no trace behind.

“Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Ancient Clan member, a Divine Heaven Fourth Order Undead Realm expert.”

“Ding! Experience increased by 200,000.”

Thunder Discipline Sage sighed helplessly before slowly returning to the academy with his apprentices.

This journey into the Water-Fire Secret Realm had been highly rewarding. Once they returned, they would need to cultivate diligently.

…

Outside, Hongyun and others had been waiting for quite some time. They had no idea what had transpired within the Inner World or what the current situation was.

“He’s coming out.”

The mighty Inner World continuously condensed until it became a mere speck, and a figure appeared before them.

Lin Fan stood before Hongyun and the others.

Elder Yunhe and the rest stared in shock at Lin Fan. Now, only Lin Fan remained—Luo Yi, Demon King Kuisheng, and the Ancient Clan member had seemingly vanished from existence.

There was only one possible explanation: Lin Fan had killed them all.

To Elder Yunhe and the others, the idea of a Divine Heaven Third Order Inner World cultivator defeating three Undead Realm experts was simply unbelievable.

“Are you alright? What happened to them?” Hongyun asked.

“They’ve all been killed. It took some effort,” Lin Fan replied.

In fact, Lin Fan had tried to downplay his achievements by saying it had taken “some effort.”

However, he didn’t realize that Elder Yunhe and the others saw him emerge completely unscathed, having defeated three Undead Realm experts despite being a level lower. To them, this was absolutely terrifying.
