The power was growing stronger and stronger.
The bloodline of the Shark Ancestor erupted from within, a colossal shark’s bloodline phantom surging up, roaring furiously. On this bloodline, countless thin lines extended into the depths of the void.
These were the branches of the bloodline. As the progenitor of the Shark Race, the Shark Ancestor was naturally the source of the bloodline.
At this very moment, strange occurrences were happening in countless places.
The Shark Race spanned across boundless seas. In certain locations, members of the Shark Race were committing atrocities, delighting in the terrified expressions on the faces of weaker beings.
Yet in an instant, these Shark Race members let out cries of agony and transformed into specks of starlight, scattering into the heavens.
In that fleeting moment, countless Shark Race members turned into starlight, rushing toward the Shark Ancestor.
“Human Emperor, although you are mighty, this old ancestor will fight you with everything the Shark Race has. No matter how powerful you are, in the end, you will perish alongside us.”
At this moment, Lin Fan merely smiled calmly, completely unfazed.
The light of the Ancient Holy Altar grew increasingly radiant. All of this was due to the enormity of what the Shark Ancestor had offered in sacrifice. In the past, offerings of such magnitude might have even prompted a direct descent by the supreme beings of the Ancient Race.
The Shark Ancestor gazed at these glowing specks, his eyes flashing with madness.
“Supreme Beings, you have broken your word!”
Driven to this desperate point, the Shark Ancestor had nowhere left to retreat. He had once aligned himself with the Ancient Race, believing he would rise to great heights with their support. Yet, to his dismay, at such a critical juncture, the Ancient Race had abandoned them.
His hatred surged to the heavens.
All of this fury was now directed at Lin Fan. It was all because of this Human Emperor.
If not for the Human Emperor, the Shark Race would have become a top-tier race when the Ten Thousand Realms were opened.
But now, all of this would vanish like smoke.
“Sacrifice!”
“Descend! O Invincible One!”
With a heart full of resentment, the Shark Ancestor roared, feeling a mighty force descending from the void. A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
“Human Emperor, your time has come. This is all your doing.”
“Do you feel this power? Do you sense this vast, oceanic might?”
“Haha! Hahaha!”
The Shark Race laughed toward the heavens.
Boom!
In an instant, a rift tore open across the heavens and earth. At the moment of its appearance, a gate exuding divine majesty stood there.
Behind that gate, something terrifying seemed to be lurking.
Gulu!
Ling Wuwei and the others nervously swallowed, sensing a mighty force brewing behind the gate.
This power was overwhelming, enough to instill fear and dread into the hearts of all.
Feeling this force, the Shark Ancestor’s despair transformed into wild excitement.
In the Shark Ancestor’s eyes, this power was sufficient to suppress all opposition.
“Human Emperor, this old ancestor wants you dead—dead with no place left to bury your corpse!” The Shark Race howled furiously.
Ling Wuwei and the others looked toward Lin Fan, unsure of what to do next. They had already sensed this power—it was indeed formidable, far beyond what any ordinary being could resist.
“Ding, the sacrifice is complete. Descent begins.”
Creak!
Suddenly, the motionless stone gate began to tremble. A violently raging force erupted from the cracks of the gate.
“Haha! Come forth! Come forth!” Having sacrificed his bloodline, the Shark Ancestor’s cultivation had greatly diminished, his body exhausted. Yet, upon sensing this power, he forced himself to laugh maniacally.
At this moment, the Shark Ancestor suddenly noticed that the Human Emperor had vanished from sight. He immediately roared out.
“Come out, Human Emperor!”
“Show yourself!” The Shark Ancestor bellowed.
He assumed the Human Emperor had fled, rendering all his efforts in vain.
Yet just moments ago, the situation had been strange. He had sensed no fluctuations in the void, yet the Human Emperor had simply disappeared into thin air.
But where had he gone?
“Shark Ancestor…”
At this moment, a familiar voice reached the Shark Ancestor’s ears.
“Eh!”
The Shark Ancestor was stunned, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy. “Human Emperor, your time has come… come… come…”
Upon hearing this voice, the Shark Ancestor’s entire body had become excited.
However, when he saw the figure stepping out from behind the gate, he was utterly stunned.
“You… How is this possible?”
The Shark Ancestor was dumbfounded, his heart surging like waves in a storm. His entire being was paralyzed with disbelief.
How could this be happening…
Ling Wuwei and hundreds of others from the Spirit Race were also stunned. That figure… that figure…
Lin Fan helplessly shrugged his shoulders. “Shark Ancestor, actually, this isn’t impossible at all.”
“Shark Ancestor, did you call me out for something?” Lin Fan asked calmly, though inwardly he was trying not to laugh.
The Shark Ancestor had sacrificed everything to kill him, but now it was Lin Fan himself who had emerged from the sacrifice. For the Shark Ancestor, this was surely an unbearable blow.
Puchi!
Indeed, at this moment, the Shark Ancestor’s chest heaved violently, and before he could contain it, a mouthful of old blood spewed forth.
“How could this be…”
The Shark Ancestor was nearly driven mad. What exactly was happening.
He had sacrificed the entire Shark Race to seek the ultimate power to slay the Human Emperor, yet now the one who emerged was the Human Emperor himself.
This… this…
“Shark Ancestor, I forgot to mention something. Everything you sacrificed belongs to this Emperor.” Wanting to soften the blow for the Shark Ancestor, Lin Fan spoke slowly.
Puh!
Upon hearing these words, the Shark Ancestor spat another mouthful of blood, his trembling finger pointing at Lin Fan.
“You… you…”
“Shark Ancestor, don’t panic. There’s one more thing I haven’t told you yet. All your sacrifices were offerings to this Emperor, and this Emperor is the ultimate existence you summoned.”
Puh!
The Shark Ancestor’s body swayed, his mind completely blank. He tilted his head back and spat blood several times.
“Tell me, what exactly did you intend to do? Did you want me to kill myself?”
“Well, I’m sorry, but that’s a request I can’t fulfill. Your sacrifice was in vain. But you should know, this sacrifice was voluntary, so there’s no such thing as a refund.”
Lin Fan said calmly, unaware that each word was another devastating blow to the Shark Ancestor.
Puh!
“Why…”
Boom!
At this moment, the Shark Ancestor could no longer bear the blow. His blood surged with fury, his brain filled with blood, and in an instant, he was gone—killed by sheer rage.
Lin Fan looked at the scene before him and sighed helplessly. “I didn’t expect it to end like this. It was too quick.”
In an instant, Lin Fan raised his head toward the boundless sea. From now on, the Shark Race, one of the Ten Ancient Fierce Beasts, would no longer exist.
Ling Wuwei and the others stared blankly at Lin Fan.
The impact of all this was simply too great for them to comprehend.
