“Hehe!”
San sneered contemptuously, not making a move for the moment. The current situation was somewhat tricky for him. He didn’t recognize these strange characters, but every time he attacked, these mysterious symbols would block him. It seemed difficult to eliminate this insignificant ant.
Nevertheless, he was determined to kill this human.
“San, your tragic days have arrived,” Lin Fan, now in control of the Celestial Sutra, was ecstatic with joy and brimming with confidence. Without hesitation, he launched a direct attack.
Seeing Lin Fan strike first, San was momentarily delighted. “Good! This is your own death wish. If you were protected by these characters, I, the Supreme, might not be able to do much. But now, everything is your own doing.”
San hadn’t expected this fellow to dare attack him, as if unaware that without the protection of the characters, he could be instantly killed.
As San charged at Lin Fan ferociously, Lin simply smiled and raised his finger.
“Attack!”
The floating tadpole-like characters suddenly surged into action. The word “Attack” instantly appeared before Lin Fan, unleashing a vast force that slashed toward San.
“How can this be?” San exclaimed in disbelief.
The assault was decisive and powerful, catching San off guard and leaving him momentarily overwhelmed.
Lin Fan seized the opportunity without hesitation.
“Trap!”
“Subdue!”
With a wave of his hand, two more characters spun forth. These characters embodied the power of heaven and earth—vast, boundless, and eternal.
Spurt!
In an instant, San was wounded, feeling deeply humiliated. In his eyes, this human was no more than an ant.
Yet the power of these characters was immense, especially when combined, managing to wound even him.
“You damned bastard, I’ll make you wish you were never born!” San roared furiously, shocked at being turned upon like this.
If given another chance, San vowed to heaven that he wouldn’t shatter this human into pieces but instead seal him away.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be this current predicament.
“Hehe, you just keep fighting these characters for a while. Let me add a little something extra,” Lin Fan laughed loudly, unleashing hundreds of palm strikes in an instant.
The essence of Brother Fan surged forth, covering the heavens and earth.
Lin Fan wasn’t sure if Brother Fan’s essence would be effective, but he had to try to find out.
If it truly worked, then he’d be in luck.
San, after all, was a Supreme Ancient, and he was already aware of Lin Fan’s techniques. Though the mist appeared ordinary, San knew it was anything but.
For Lin Fan, this was another unexpected trump card—discovered quite by accident.
This was simply the way of invincibility.
Although his own strength wasn’t sufficient, with the Celestial Sutra, he could restrain anyone, no matter who they were.
In the void, San dodged left and right, but the mist grew denser, and his heart quickened with urgency.
“These mists must be up to something. I absolutely cannot allow this annoying fellow to succeed.”
“But these characters are so troublesome, containing the power of heaven and earth. What kind of realm could give birth to such characters?”
…
“San, this altar of yours is quite impressive. Little Master is claiming it for himself,” Lin Fan said as he patted the Ancient Holy Altar beneath his feet.
Upon hearing this, San was furious. “You dare!”
“Calm down. Let me see if there are any characters related to refinement,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
San’s expression turned urgent. The Ancient Holy Altar was his foundation. Though he was confident this human couldn’t possibly refine it, for some reason, a sense of foreboding stirred in his heart.
“Ah, I actually found one. You keep playing around. Little Master is going to refine it now.”
“Refine!”
In an instant, the character for “refine” floated forth. Naturally, with Lin Fan’s current power, he couldn’t possibly refine the Ancient Holy Altar. But the Celestial Sutra was unexpectedly formidable, so why not give it a try?
If it worked, that would be great news.
A beam of light flashed, enveloping the Ancient Holy Altar.
A violent tremor surged through San’s heart, as if something were stealing from him.
“Stop this at once!” San sensed danger. This despicable creature was actually refining the Ancient Holy Altar.
How could he allow this?
“Die!”
Driven mad with rage, San charged recklessly toward Lin Fan.
At that moment, Brother Fan’s essence finally seized the opportunity, sweeping forward and enveloping San.
“Get away from me!” San tore at the mist with his hands, shattering it instantly. But just as he was about to rush toward Lin Fan,
Three more tadpole-like characters blocked his path once again.
“Cursed! Cursed!”
“This altar is pretty good. Back then, I used to make offerings. So it was you who was exploiting them all along.”
“I thought so. Who could be so heartless? Accepting so many offerings but giving back only a tiny benefit. Absolutely despicable!”
“If Little Master controls this Ancient Holy Altar, from now on, whenever someone makes an offering, I won’t be stingy at all.”
San’s face turned crimson with rage, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. This was a humiliation—an open and blatant one.
“Stop at once!”
San felt his connection with the Ancient Holy Altar weakening, as if it could be severed at any moment.
“How can this be? How can a mere human refine it? What exactly are these characters? How can they possess such immense power?”
San roared inwardly, his emotions so intense that his blood surged faster than ever. At this moment, Brother Fan’s essence thrived like fish in water, directly beginning to infiltrate San’s mind.
“Almost there, almost there. The Celestial Sutra is indeed incredibly powerful. With only the eighth Heaven Realm cultivation, I can already overpower a Supreme. If an ordinary person obtained it, wouldn’t they be able to defeat even me?”
Lin Fan was frightened, filled with dread.
But at least he was the one who obtained it.
“Master, help me!”
At that moment, the voice of the Thunder Cultivation King rang out from the inner sanctum.
“Eh!” Lin Fan was taken aback, not understanding what was happening.
“Master, there’s not a trace of spiritual energy left in the inner sanctum. I was still in the middle of cultivation when it suddenly stopped,” the Thunder Cultivation King cried.
“How is that possible? Little Master’s inner sanctum is full of spiritual energy, as vast as the sea. Are you trying to joke with me?” Lin Fan cursed.
But when Lin Fan looked into the inner sanctum, he was completely stunned.
Where was the spiritual energy now? Even what little remained was rapidly draining away.
And the direction of the drain was unmistakably toward those characters.
“What the hell…”
At that moment, Lin Fan was furious.
He had always suspected that there was no such thing as a free lunch under heaven.
He had obtained the Celestial Sutra long ago, but the system had never activated. Now he realized it was probably because the system feared that if he accidentally used these characters, he would be drained dry.
And now, in such a short time, the spiritual energy in his inner sanctum had already been completely sucked away.
Lin Fan even wondered whether he was able to activate the Celestial Sutra now only because he had faced a life-threatening crisis, forcing the system to activate it.
Terrifying…
Bang!
At that moment, San struck one of the characters back, and it twisted and turned before returning to Lin Fan’s side, its light dimming.
“This is about to explode,” Lin Fan muttered, his heart sinking.
“Refine quickly! Hurry up and refine it for Little Master!”
Lin Fan urged desperately. The spiritual energy in his inner sanctum had been completely drained, and at this moment, he also noticed that the spiritual energy within his body was rapidly depleting.
Soon, he would be completely drained dry.
“Ha! Insect, your time has come. So these characters require massive spiritual energy to sustain,” San noticed Lin Fan’s weakening aura and the rapid depletion of his spiritual energy, and he laughed loudly.
“Hehe…”
Lin Fan raised his head, seeing San’s expression of excitement, and couldn’t help but sneer.
“What? Do you think you’ve already won? Just wait until you see what’s coming.”
