The gray haze between heaven and earth had dissipated. The land, once full of vitality, now lay lifeless and desolate.
A lone figure stood between heaven and earth.
Feng Qianzi wore a delighted expression. He had definitely not misheard that voice just now—it was undoubtedly his beloved disciple’s voice.
But in an instant, when he saw the figure standing between heaven and earth, Feng Qianzi’s expression changed.
“Haha, Jie, I never expected you actually killed that insignificant pest,” Sheng said with a smile upon seeing the figure.
“Feng Qianzi, your disciple is dead. All your hopes have shattered,” Sheng laughed wildly. Although he considered Jie as worthless, killing a mere human was no challenge at all. But still…
“Why did you block my attack, Jie?” Sheng asked sharply.
Although Jie had just earned some credit, in Sheng’s eyes, he remained a mere insect.
“In that crucible, I devoured that human and seized everything he had. However, this human’s will was incredibly strong, able to resist somewhat, but now it’s no longer an issue—he has completely become a part of me,” Jie said coldly.
Jie looked toward the Celestial Crucible and gestured. Instantly, the Crucible spun toward him and settled before him.
“Killing this human brought me many benefits. This is the Celestial Crucible, beyond any classification, yet more precious than the highest-grade divine treasures. It can refine all things under heaven and earth. Even this Supreme Being nearly perished under this artifact.”
Jie’s demeanor appeared natural, just as usual.
“Beyond the highest-grade divine treasures?” Sheng had no interest in the human, but upon hearing Jie’s words about the Crucible’s immense value, he couldn’t help but show surprise.
“That’s right. Even I, within this Crucible, would be reduced to primal essence in an instant. No matter how powerful one is, they cannot resist its refining power,” Jie said with a smile.
“Hand it over to me,” Sheng said, greed flashing in his heart. He hadn’t expected the human to possess such a treasure. No wonder even his strength couldn’t shatter the Crucible. It truly was a rare treasure.
Jie showed a slight sign of dissatisfaction.
“What? You’re unwilling?” Sheng’s expression changed instantly, as if he would forcibly seize it the moment Jie shook his head.
“Then come and get it yourself,” Jie said. Instantly, the Celestial Crucible began to spin, gradually shrinking until it rested in Jie’s palm.
“Remove your mark and throw it over,” Sheng ordered.
“Come and get it yourself,” Jie replied.
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned tense and heavy.
Meanwhile, Feng Qianzi still hadn’t recovered from the shock of his disciple’s death.
“How could this happen?” Feng Qianzi couldn’t believe his beloved disciple had perished so suddenly.
Namo Shengdi and the Female Emperor also changed expressions. They knew that it was Lin Fan’s final will that had saved them moments ago—but now it had vanished.
The Female Emperor shook her head with a sigh. If Xuan’er were to learn of this, that girl would surely be heartbroken.
In the blink of an eye, four years had passed. They had expected this young man to grow into an unrivaled overlord, yet he had perished halfway.
How many extraordinary talents existed among the myriad races? Yet what could they do? Only those who could endure until the end were the true victors.
Since ancient times, countless prodigies had perished before reaching their prime. No matter how great their talent or potential, in the end, they would all become dust beneath the earth.
“Jie, dare you defy my command?” Sheng roared. Something felt off, but he couldn’t quite place it.
“I would never dare,” Jie replied.
“Then throw it over here,” Sheng barked.
“Come and get it yourself,” Jie repeated, then turned to another figure nearby, “Want it?”
The figure, You, hesitated momentarily, then a trace of greed flickered in his heart.
But as soon as that greed surfaced, fury erupted from Sheng.
“It’s mine!” Sheng was truly enraged. He hadn’t expected Jie to dare defy him.
Jie extended his hand, the Celestial Crucible resting calmly in his palm. His meaning was clear—you want it? Come and get it yourself.
For a moment, Sheng was at a loss. He stared intently at Jie, trying to detect any change. Yet no matter how he looked, Jie remained Jie—the same worthless being he had always considered him.
“I don’t wish to give this treasure to you. If I refuse, will you kill me and choose another Supreme Being?” Jie asked.
“Precisely. You’re finally showing some intelligence,” Sheng sneered.
“Then come and get it yourself,” Jie repeated.
…
“Now that this kid is dead, should we think about leaving this place?” the Female Emperor softly suggested.
Namo Shengdi remained silent for a moment. He also felt it was time to leave. Everything had failed. The boy was dead—an immense loss to humanity.
Feng Qianzi felt grief and fury. His aged face was now filled with icy frost. Yet he knew under current circumstances, it was impossible to kill these Supreme Beings.
With three Supreme Beings gathered here, escaping safely would require some careful planning.
“Shengdi, Female Emperor, you two follow me when I break through. Only at the Guardian Realm will we be truly safe,” Feng Qianzi transmitted to them.
“Understood,” both nodded solemnly.
In the current situation, this was the only option. They would retreat to the Guardian Realm first, wait for the right moment, and then consider leaving.
Otherwise, with the power of the Supreme Beings, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they would still be pursued.
At this moment, Lin Fan had already activated his invisibility and was clinging to Jie’s back, waiting for the moment to strike.
Yet Lin Fan found it somewhat ridiculous—was Sheng really that lazy? It wasn’t like picking it up would kill him.
“Fine, I’ll come myself!” Sheng roared furiously, stepping forward. In an instant, he appeared before Jie.
His furious eyes locked onto Jie, “I hope you behave yourself. You know the consequences if you don’t.”
Looking at the Crucible in Jie’s palm, Sheng could feel the ancient aura radiating from it.
This was a treasure—an absolute treasure.
Slowly, Sheng extended his hand and instantly grabbed the Celestial Crucible.
“Ah?” In that instant, Sheng suddenly realized—he couldn’t lift the Celestial Crucible!
“You…” Sheng’s face darkened, suspecting Jie was behind it.
Yet in that instant, Jie revealed a faint smile, then suddenly struck Sheng’s head with a palm.
“You dare die!” In an instant, Sheng reacted, roaring furiously. His eyes burned with boundless rage. He hadn’t expected this worthless being would dare attack him.
Feng Qianzi and the others were preparing to escape, but at this moment, the situation among the Supreme Beings left them baffled.
What was happening? The Supreme Beings were definitely clashing.
Sheng abruptly raised his hand, gripping Jie’s throat, his eyes nearly spitting fire.
“Do you know what you’re doing? Do you think I won’t dare kill you?” Sheng roared furiously, ready to crush Jie.
“Hehe,” Jie showed no fear, suddenly changing his expression into one of compassion, “Amitabha.”
This sudden transformation left Sheng momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend whether Jie had gone mad.
Yet in that instant, a cold gleam flashed.
“True Ultimate Destruction Kick!”
In a fraction of a second, Sheng sensed danger and immediately unleashed his divine power, blocking the kick.
“Damn, didn’t expect you to react so fast.”
Lin Fan was shocked. He hadn’t expected Sheng’s reaction speed to be this quick.
But if it came to reflexes, Lin Fan was definitely faster.
“Big Dipper Explosive Milk Fist!”
Lin Fan’s hands moved like lightning, unleashing hundreds of punches in an instant.
Bang!
Bang!
At this moment, Lin Fan unleashed his fury. The Big Dipper Explosive Milk Fist erupted.
Boom!
In this extremely short time, Sheng’s chest rapidly transformed—expanding, expanding, then exploding.
The immense explosive force shook the heavens and earth, nearly shattering reality itself.
“Success.”
Lin Fan didn’t know the exact result, but he knew the Big Dipper Explosive Milk Fist possessed supreme power. Sheng was definitely crippled, at least temporarily.
“My beloved disciple, you’re alive!” Feng Qianzi exclaimed with joy upon seeing that familiar figure. In an instant, he appeared beside Lin Fan, grabbing his hand.
“Beloved disciple, quickly follow your master and escape!” This was a golden opportunity to flee.
“Escape? Not yet! Hurry up and finish him off!” Lin Fan shouted. This was a rare opportunity. If missed, such a perfect chance might never come again.
“Jie, I’m giving you a buff. Kill him!” Without hesitation, Lin Fan fiercely kicked Jie’s crotch.
“True Ultimate Destruction Kick”—dual functionality—exploded once again.
“Ahhh!”
Sheng screamed in agony.
“Ahhh!”
Jie roared furiously, like a war god had possessed him. His power surged, entering a state of frenzied combat.
