Lin Fan gazed at the boundless Ancient Holy Realm, and an infinite fighting spirit suddenly surged in his heart. His strength had made tremendous progress.
His physical body had already reached the level of Divine Heaven Stage, Tenth Layer, possibly even the peak. Yet the path of advancement was endless. Since the system gave no prompt, there was naturally still significant room for improvement.
At this moment, Lin Fan was feeling rather elated. He placed one hand on his waist and pointed a finger at the sky, saying, “Fate, you little thing, this time your young master has brought a lot of helpers back. Let’s see how you dare to challenge me now.”
Lin Fan knew that Fate was still asleep, occasionally awakening for a brief moment, but the power it could unleash was still very limited.
Precisely because of this, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid of Fate. As for what might happen once it fully awakened, that would be a matter for the future.
Right now, Lin Fan had only two thoughts: find a lone Supreme and ambush him, then seize all his treasures to strengthen himself.
At the same time, the Ancient Holy Altar had not shown any changes yet. It seemed he would have to study it thoroughly when he got the chance.
At this moment, Lin Fan wanted to go to the Guardian Land to bring back “Jie,” then team up with Gengu to start hunting Supremes.
Boom!
Just then, the heavens and earth suddenly changed.
“Huh? What the hell is going on? Could it be about to rain?”
In the void, lightning flashed, and dark clouds gathered, brewing a vast, mighty force.
Crackling!
“This lightning is a bit frightening.”
Lin Fan shivered, sensing that something was amiss. The thunder was as thick as dragons, containing destructive power. It seemed as though a single bolt could strike him dead.
“Human, surrender the Ancient Holy Altar and the Eternal Throne.”
Suddenly, a vast voice came from the void, echoing powerfully, making Lin Fan’s heart pound.
“Fate.”
Hearing this voice, Lin Fan immediately knew who it was without even thinking.
Within the Ancient Holy Realm, Fate was the ruler. However, given the current situation, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid of Fate. If Fate had truly recovered completely, Lin Fan would have already spread his arms wide, inviting Fate to do whatever it pleased.
“Fate, don’t be too excessive. Your young master has just arrived, and you come to bother me. Do we have a grudge?”
Lin Fan grumbled, feeling a bit nervous but not truly afraid.
According to the usual pattern, if the Ancient Holy Realm’s Fate was this powerful now, it wouldn’t just talk—it would act directly, seizing Lin Fan with a mighty hand, crushing him in its palm with a slight squeeze.
“Surrender the Ancient Holy Altar and the Eternal Throne.”
The vast voice rolled forth again like waves.
“Fate, don’t be too arrogant. This Emperor simply won’t surrender them. If you dare, come and kill me. If this Emperor even flinches once—”
Boom!
Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed from the heavens above. It seemed to tear the entire sky and earth apart.
A crack formed.
Crack!
“Damn it.”
Fate was truly too arrogant. Without even finishing a sentence, it had sent a bolt of lightning, clearly showing no regard for him at all.
Lin Fan’s body trembled violently. This lightning seemed filled with boundless destructive power, crashing down upon him.
Crackle!
Electric currents surged across Lin Fan’s body.
“Damn, this is pretty strong.”
A deep pit formed. Lin Fan’s hair stood on end, his body blackened, and his inner energy shook before returning to normal.
“Ding! Congratulations, the ‘Eternal Divine Body’ gains 50,000 experience points.”
At this moment, Lin Fan’s expression suddenly sharpened, as if he had discovered something amazing.
“What? Did I really gain so much experience from this?”
Lin Fan hadn’t expected that a single bolt of lightning from Fate could grant his body so much experience. He was genuinely surprised.
Even Gengu striking him couldn’t grant him experience anymore.
Yet this lightning had given Lin Fan fifty thousand experience points, which truly astonished him.
At this moment, Lin Fan let out a long roar. His body trembled as life force surged through him, restoring his blackened skin instantly, brimming with infinite vitality.
Yet suddenly, Lin Fan recalled an important matter.
Previously, Lin Fan had thought that once his physical body reached the Tenth Layer, it would be nearly the limit.
After all, even the Supremes couldn’t grant him experience anymore. Who else could he fight to train further?
Yet now, Fate’s lightning had granted him significant experience. Perhaps this was also a method of cultivation.
“How could you…?”
At this moment, Fate, seeing the human unharmed, revealed a shocked expression, as if unable to believe it.
“No good! I absolutely can’t let Fate realize that its lightning has no effect on me. Otherwise, this opportunity will disappear.”
Lin Fan never missed any chance to strengthen himself.
Since Fate could enhance his power, naturally, he couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
“Ow, that hurts so much.”
Lin Fan’s acting skills were now at an Oscar-winning level, his expression of pretending to be injured portrayed perfectly.
Instantly, Lin Fan froze, one hand clutching his chest, his body swaying as if severely wounded. His eyes became dazed, and he reached toward the sky as if grasping at something.
“Ow! It hurts! So much pain…”
“Thud!”
Lin Fan fell to the ground, barely managing to stand up, but as soon as he struggled upright, he collapsed again, seemingly gravely injured.
But from Fate’s perspective, Lin Fan now appeared half-dead.
In the void, Fate observed the scene and nodded in satisfaction.
“It should be like this. How could he possibly be fine?”
In Fate’s view, how could the opponent possibly survive its lightning? This was exactly the outcome Fate had expected.
However, something was off. In Fate’s estimation, that bolt of lightning should have killed the opponent outright.
Yet unexpectedly, this human was still alive, which was beyond Fate’s expectations.
“Human, surrender the Ancient Holy Altar.”
“Surrender the Eternal Throne.”
Fate’s voice came again.
“I won’t surrender them. If you dare, strike me dead.”
Lin Fan shouted loudly, rolling on the ground, writhing and wailing. Yet for Lin Fan, he also had to keep a close watch on the surroundings.
After all, this act was somewhat damaging to his dignity.
