Chapter 658: We Are All Beasts

“Oh my dear ancestor, what happened to you?” Lin Fan said mockingly, a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

He already knew the fox clan ancestor had fled, but had left behind a massive chunk of flesh and blood. Within this piece of flesh alone, at least three layers of the fox clan ancestor’s power remained.

If the Fox Clan ancestor lost this chunk of flesh, his cultivation power would greatly diminish, leaving him severely weakened. Without consuming some supreme treasure from heaven and earth, it would take at least a thousand years to recover.

“You damned beast!” The fox clan ancestor was furious inside. The betrayal from the Xie Alliance’s Supreme Lord had gravely wounded him, and now this little beast had discovered his presence.

If he didn’t act, this piece of flesh would surely fall into the hands of this beast.

“Actually, calling me a beast is correct. All the great races were originally beasts. Take your Hu clan for example—you were once a fox. So tell me, aren’t you a beast?” Lin Fan accepted the insult calmly, not the least bit angry.

Although he couldn’t see the fox clan ancestor’s distorted expression, he could easily imagine it.

No one would take such a situation lightly.

Especially for a powerful being like the fox clan ancestor, the loss of a piece of flesh containing his very essence was a tremendous blow.

If his luck ran out, he might never recover, becoming forever a bottom-tier Eternal God.

Perhaps even worse than those eight elders who had self-destructed.

“You… you…” the fox clan ancestor was so furious he could hardly speak. His body turned crimson and swelled rapidly. Suddenly, two small red arms sprouted from his flesh.

“Die!”

The fox clan ancestor exploded in rage, unleashing hundreds of techniques in an instant. A powerful force surged toward Lin Fan. Even if it was only a piece of flesh, it still commanded respect.

“Oh ho, getting angry now, huh? Though I can’t defeat your main body, I won’t let a mere piece of flesh act so arrogantly. Come on, I, the Emperor, will stand here and let you strike. If you can make me spit blood, I’ll let you go,” Lin Fan said cheerfully, completely unfazed.

His physical strength had reached the eighth level of the Divine Heaven Realm, the realm of Divine Pellet. There was no way he could be defeated by a mere piece of flesh—it was simply absurd.

“Secret Technique of Celestial Escape!”

Suddenly, the Fox Clan ancestor’s flesh churned violently and shot into the void, attempting to flee.

“Want to escape? Too bad, you won’t get away,” Lin Fan said casually, reaching out and pulling the fox clan ancestor’s flesh back from the void.

“Not bad, quite heavy. Seems like quite a loss. But tell me, you’re injured—how come Xie Meng Zunzhu isn’t? You didn’t let yourself get used as a pawn by Xie Meng Zunzhu, did you?” Lin Fan said with a smile.

“Despicable wretch!” the fox clan ancestor roared furiously, striking right at his most painful wound. This time, he had gained nothing, only suffered heavy losses.

Damn that Xie Meng Zunzhu! From now on, he and the Zunzhu would be enemies until death.

“It seems you really were tricked by the Evil Alliance Leader. Poor ancestor of the Fox Clan, even I feel a bit sorry for you,” Lin Fan said with a grin.

Though this piece of flesh was powerful, it could not compensate for his losses.

Two hundred million “Solar Yang Pills” were gone, as were eight Eternal God-level henchmen.

It was like falling back to square one.

But this time, he had gained some treasures as well.

He had swallowed a war halberd, obtained a soul-attacking treasure—the Qing Ming Ancient Bell—and also received something the Yun Sect Leader had mentioned. He didn’t know what it was yet, but he would study it later.

“Stop struggling. You can’t escape,” Lin Fan said as the fox clan ancestor’s flesh writhed violently in his grip, desperately trying to break free, yet held firmly in place.

“Human Emperor, I admit my mistake this time. Please let me go. From now on, I, the ancestor of the Fox Clan, swear upon heaven that I will never seek revenge against you. I am even willing to offer you even greater treasures,” pleaded the ancestor of the Fox Clan.

This piece of flesh was extremely important. Losing it would be a devastating loss.

“What do you mean, ‘this time’? You were wrong from the start!” Lin Fan said calmly.

“Yes, yes, I was wrong. Please let me go. We can reconcile, and you will forever be the honored guest of the Hu Clan,” the Hu Clan ancestor said, almost bargaining with Lin Fan.

But inside, he was filled with hatred. He hated the Evil Alliance Supreme Lord, and he hated this Human Emperor even more. If it weren’t for this Human Emperor defeating those old bastards from the Eternal Gods, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.

All of this was this Human Emperor’s doing.

“Though you’ve admitted your mistake, it’s not enough. I’ve wasted so much time with you all, and now I’m even hungry. Perfect, I can use your flesh to make some dumplings,” Lin Fan said.

“You won’t let me go?” the ancestor of the狐族 roared in anger.

Hungry? That was ridiculous.

“Hehe, little ancestor, you really are old for nothing. At a time like this, do you really think I’ll let you go?” Lin Fan sneered.

In an instant, Lin Fan gripped the Eternal Axe, its sharp blade radiating divine light.

“Human Emperor, may you die a miserable death! The Hu Clan will never cease hunting you down!” the Hu Clan ancestor roared furiously.

“Alright, you can chase and kill me all you want. Little brat, I can handle it. I originally thought the great races were pitiful, but even a race like the Fox Clan has such powerful figures who dare not fight against the Ancient Clans—that’s your own downfall. It seems the task of overthrowing the Ancient Clans will have to rely on me alone.”

“Don’t worry, I will come to the Fox Clan. Prepare well and welcome me properly.”

Lin Fan had now seen through everything.

It wasn’t that the great races were weak—it was that there were too few who could unite and stand together.

Like the Fox Clan ancestor, such a powerful figure only acted according to his own interests. How could such a person possibly stand against the Ancient Clans?

“I’ll chop you.”

At that moment, the axe flashed, and blow after blow rained down on the fox clan ancestor’s flesh.

“Ahh!”

The fox clan’s ancestor roared in fury. Each blow felt as if it had struck his actual body, causing excruciating pain.

Soon, the flesh turned into minced meat, radiating divine aura. The power within was crystal clear, brimming with immense strength.

“Little wretch, may you die a miserable death! A miserable death!” the ancestor of the fox clan screamed, but was powerless to resist.

The fox clan’s ancestor was a Supreme God of the Tenth Heaven Realm, an eternally divine being. When had he ever endured such humiliation—his own flesh treated in this manner by a despicable human? His rage was indescribable.

At that moment, Lin Fan turned his gaze to the distance. An aura approached, somewhat familiar.

“Alright, no more playing around. A Supreme Ancient is coming,” Lin Fan said calmly, gathering the mangled remains of the狐族 ancestor into his Heaven and Earth Realm.

He vanished!

He dove underground!

Lin Fan concealed his aura and burrowed deep beneath the earth, hiding himself.

With the system’s concealment ability, no one in heaven and earth could discover him.

Not even a Supreme Ancient.
