Chapter 415: Activating the Ultimate Skill

“Boy, release me at once, and I, the Heavenly Dao, may forgive all your misdeeds. Otherwise, you will eventually pay dearly for your actions,” roared the Heavenly Dao, bound tightly with ropes.

Heaven had originally been emotionless, but as time passed, the Heavenly Dao gradually developed human emotions and desires. The principle of equality among all beings had long vanished, replaced by the notion that great matters must take precedence.

Lin Fan ignored the Heavenly Dao’s furious shouting, gently holding the whip in his hand. A faint, chilling smile crept across his lips.

“This whip is called the Whip of Discipline. It is nine chi and two cun long, forged from the tendons and bones of a fierce beast at the Great Heaven Stage. It can extend or shorten as needed, penetrate or retreat, be used for gentle or harsh purposes…” Lin Fan said softly, standing there.

The Heavenly Dao, with white hair and aged appearance, involuntarily swallowed hard, his heart pounding violently, as if anticipating the most terrifying scene in the heavens and earth.

“Heavenly Dao, you should feel fortunate. When this whip was forged, heaven and earth changed colors, and lightning flashed across the sky. It has never been used since, for no one could endure it. Today, you shall be the first,” Lin Fan said, staring straight into the Heavenly Dao’s eyes.

“What… what do you intend to do?” the Heavenly Dao asked in terror.

Since his birth, he had never encountered such a sinister individual. Even that fellow known as the Supreme had merely split the Xuanhuang Realm in a single strike.

This guy was a demon, a torturous demon.

How could he, the mighty Heavenly Dao, suffer such humiliation?

“No… I am the Heavenly Dao! You will suffer divine punishment for this!” the Heavenly Dao roared furiously, his words carrying divine law. Instantly, a thunderous rumble split the void, lightning flashing as though ready to tear the heavens apart.

The violent force in the void grew stronger, the purple lightning flashing like it would bring about the end of the world.

“Wow, so you’re into this kind of thing…” Lin Fan looked at the purple lightning in the void, astonished.

Indeed, no matter who or what you were, deep inside, there was always a wild heart.

The Heavenly Dao was like a fish on the chopping block—no matter how hard he struggled, escape was impossible.

Yet now, he had summoned divine punishment on his own, clearly trying to spice things up.

Well then, although it was somewhat hard to watch, since it was the Heavenly Dao’s wish, how could he refuse?

“Boom…”

A bolt of purple lightning shot down from the sky, shaking the very void itself.

The Heavenly Dao, watching this unfold, felt despair. This was merely a desperate attempt to comfort himself; he had little hope it would actually strike Lin Fan down.

Lin Fan flicked his wrist, swinging the whip to entangle the lightning.

“Heavenly Dao, since you enjoy this, I shall indulge you today.”

“Full power.”

“The way of discipline is to move forward bravely.”

“First move: Whip of Discipline.”

“Bang…”

The whip lashed out like a thunderous serpent, lightning energy surging along its length. With Lin Fan’s first strike, a piercing sound echoed across the heavens and earth.

The whip landed heavily on the Heavenly Dao.

“Ahh…”

The Heavenly Dao had braced himself for a scream of pain, but in an instant, he froze. This wasn’t as painful as he’d expected. Instead, it felt strangely tingly and pleasurable.

A bizarre sensation coursed through his body, mixed with a strange sense of shame.

“Hmm…” Lin Fan, seeing the Heavenly Dao’s expression, was slightly taken aback. This wasn’t a reaction he had seen before.

This fellow didn’t seem to be furious at all.

Could it be that he had a masochistic streak?

“It seems I need to go even harder,” Lin Fan muttered to himself, then sprang into action, whipping the air furiously, like a serpent dancing.

“Crack…”

Clothes tore, revealing bare skin.

“Outrageous…” The Heavenly Dao had been savoring the previous sensation, but in an instant, a chill ran through his body, and his expression changed drastically.

He was the Heavenly Dao! How could he endure such humiliation?

Lin Fan exhaled in relief. Finally, things were returning to normal. If the Heavenly Dao didn’t become furious, how could he continue his discipline?

“Heavenly Dao, just endure it.”

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

“Damn you…”

At that moment, the heavens and earth fell silent, the only sound being the repeated crack of the whip echoing through the void.

At this moment, the Southern Emperor was exerting his full power, causing the earth to crack under his immense strength.

The sensation was unbearable now, as if instinctively wanting to resist, yet his body refused to obey.

Seeing the Heavenly Dao bound there, enduring such torment, the Southern Emperor’s heart trembled violently.

How could such a person exist in this world?

The Heavenly Queen sat there, paralyzed, her face pale with fear.

What would she do if that man treated her the same way he had treated the Heavenly Dao?

At that moment, the Heavenly Queen was terrified, as if she were about to face the most horrifying scene imaginable.

“Heavenly Dao, how do you feel?” Lin Fan cracked the whip in the air, creating two whip-crack blossoms, then stared straight at the Heavenly Dao.

The power of this discipline skill was boundless, and it still had one ultimate move yet to be used.

The intensity of the discipline depended on the individual.

The Heavenly Dao was an existence with an extraordinary will, so the discipline would be even more challenging.

“I will never let you go…” the Heavenly Dao roared furiously, yet a faint ripple stirred in his heart. When the whip struck his body, he felt a subtle sense of shame—and strangely, excitement.

“It seems it’s still not enough. Then don’t blame me,” Lin Fan said. Taking a deep breath, he flicked his wrist, wrapping the whip around his arm.

“Ultimate Secret Art: Ornamental Midair Lashing.”

In an instant, Lin Fan moved, the whip flying furiously, striking every part of the Heavenly Dao’s body.

At that moment, the heavens and earth changed color, fierce winds howled, and lightning rained down from the sky, surging into the whip.

“Ahh…” The Heavenly Dao roared, realizing that this sense of shame was growing stronger, as if it would consume his very soul.

This was unacceptable.

It was an insult to himself.

“No…”

The Heavenly Dao roared, suppressing the surging shame like tidal waves in his heart.

“I refuse to believe this!” Lin Fan, seeing the Heavenly Dao still resisting, was thoroughly unconvinced.

Could even the ultimate discipline art, the Ornamental Midair Lashing, fail to subdue the Heavenly Dao?

“Crack! Crack…”

At that moment, the heavens and earth fell silent. The violent scene etched itself permanently into the hearts of the Southern Emperor and the Heavenly Queen.

They were completely stunned, especially the Heavenly Queen, who trembled violently.

“叮! Congratulations on mastering the Heavenly Dao, the ultimate skill is unlocked. With a single whip crack, you’ll dominate the seas far and wide.”

“叮, the system will now give a demonstration on its own. Please pay close attention, dear host, and don’t blink your eyes.”

“What the… seriously?” Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, unable to believe his ears. He hadn’t expected to activate the ultimate move, and just from the name, it sounded incredibly powerful.
