Chapter 262: The Final Swan Song

Lin Fan was speechless at this moment. How had he become weaker over time? He had reached a point where he couldn’t even defeat a single arm anymore. Was there even a future for him?

Just then, the arm suddenly vanished into the void, disappearing from Lin Fan’s sight. He remained alert, scanning his surroundings. Although it was just an arm, its power was overwhelming.

Suddenly, space behind him trembled violently. Lin Fan’s expression changed, and he slashed his axe backwards.

Bang… bang…

The arm clashed with the Eternal Axe. Even though the Eternal Axe was a divine artifact, it couldn’t leave a single mark on the arm.

It was terrifying—truly terrifying.

Even Lin Fan’s current physical body couldn’t withstand a single strike from the Eternal Axe. Yet this arm was even stronger.

In an instant, the giant hand rose high, unleashing an overwhelming palm strike. A pitch-black giant hand formed, blotting out the sky and shrouding the earth in rolling black mist. The immense pressure made Lin Fan feel like he was suffocating.

“Dragon Emperor Domination!”

Power surged through Lin Fan’s body, and a golden dragon wrapped around him. Gripping the Eternal Axe tightly, he roared.

“Celestial Expanse…”

The true energy within Lin Fan’s body trembled violently. His entire body was enveloped in golden light, and the Eternal Axe radiated dazzling brilliance. He swung the axe.

Space shattered. The light from the axe strike seemed to tear through the void itself, creating a torrent of broken space. Within this torrent, chains of cosmic law flowed like illusions. Although it was just an illusion, this was the most powerful technique Lin Fan had mastered.

Even the power of “Silent Finger Annihilation” paled in comparison to the Heaven-Sundering Three Techniques—the first of which was “Celestial Expanse.”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s vitality, energy, and spirit reached their peak. He looked like a mighty warrior, gripping the Eternal Axe, ready to cleave through the chaos itself.

The true energy within him surged like a floodgate had been opened, pouring into the axe.

“Bang…”

The axe strike was dazzling. The moment it collided with the sky-obscuring demonic hand, the entire void seemed on the verge of collapse, as if being torn apart by this immense force.

“Did I do it?”

Lin Fan gasped for breath, half of his true energy drained by that single strike. Even a Grand Heaven cultivator would struggle to survive such a blow. But whether it had affected the demonic hand remained uncertain.

“Eradicate.”

But at that moment, Lin Fan realized the sky-obscuring demonic hand was completely unharmed, aside from a slight reduction in power.

What?

“Bang…”

The ground shook violently, and the entire Yao Di quaked. The surrounding walls began to collapse, as if shattered by the force of the impact.

“Ding! Congratulations,《Immortal Demon Body》experience increased by five million.”

“Pu…”

Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. His bones felt like they had all been shattered. Under that palm strike, most of his life force had been destroyed. If not for《Immortal Demon Body》and《Blood Sea Demon Cultivation》sustaining him, he would have died from that single strike.

The Blood Sea Demon Cultivation continuously repaired his body while Lin Fan painfully pulled out a handful of medicinal pills from his bag and swallowed them. These pills, which others would consider extremely valuable, were to him just emergency supplies.

“Ding! Convert to experience?”

Upon hearing the system prompt, Lin Fan was speechless. “Convert your sister! I need the medicinal effect!”

The moment the pills entered his mouth, their powerful energy surged through his body, slowly healing his wounds.

Lin Fan breathed heavily, gripping the Eternal Axe tightly.

That last palm strike had turned him into a bloodied mess, blood seeping from his skin.

This time, he might not make it out alive.

Lin Fan slowly turned his head, looking at the hiding chicken, nodded slightly, and moved his lips silently.

“Stay hidden. Don’t come out.”

The chicken, watching Lin Fan’s battered form, had round eyes filled with boundless fear. Its featherless body trembled violently.

The arm, covered in scales, floated silently in the air, as if waiting.

For this ant that could be crushed with a single finger, being able to unleash such power was indeed surprising. But it was still just a fleeting surprise. In the end, an ant was still an ant—insignificant.

Lin Fan spat out the blood in his mouth, breathing heavily as he glared at the black arm.

“Come on…”

At that moment, the black arm vanished into the void again, instantly reappearing before Lin Fan. Although he sensed the fluctuation, his reaction was no longer fast enough.

“Bang…”

The arm struck downward with a palm, a crushing pressure descending from the heavens, causing every bone in Lin Fan’s body to creak.

“Pu…”

Lin Fan collapsed to the ground, his consciousness fading. He no longer had the strength to even lift the Eternal Axe.

This time, he was truly finished… Was the legacy of the Saint-Demon Sect about to end here?

No. There were still Zhang Erdog and the others. The legacy of the Saint-Demon Sect wasn’t truly gone, but the revenge for his senior brothers would never be fulfilled… Lin Fan lay on the ground, his chest rising and falling weakly, blood continuously seeping from his crushed body.

At that moment, the distant black arm raised a single finger, its tip wrapped in a sharp black glow, as if preparing to deliver the final blow.

The chicken, hiding behind, watched the scene unfold. Its sturdy claws wanted to move, but its body had turned rigid with fear.

“Wok wok wok…” At that moment, the chicken closed its eyes and let out an angry cry, its fury overpowering its fear.

Lin Fan, already resigned to death, waited for the end. But at that moment, the chicken’s cry caused Lin Fan to open his eyes in disbelief.

He saw the trembling chicken stand in front of the black demonic hand, wings spread wide, feathers bristling, letting out an angry cry.

“Chicken, don’t come out…” Lin Fan looked at the chicken, his heart filled with urgency. This enemy was far beyond what the chicken could handle.

The furious chicken slightly turned its head, its eyes filled with rage, yet its gaze betrayed fear.

“Wok wok wok…” The chicken cried out to Lin Fan, and within that cry was sorrow.

“Chicken…”

At that moment, the chicken let out a cry, as if encouraging itself. It closed its eyes and charged toward the terrifying arm.

“It wants to protect Lin Fan.”

The chicken radiated endless red light…

This was the chicken’s only technique.

“Pu…”

But in an instant, the red light vanished. The chicken’s body was pierced by the black glow from the finger.

“Chicken…”

Lin Fan watched helplessly as the chicken fell from midair.

Blood flowed from the chicken’s mouth, and the black glow had left a thumb-sized hole in its body, with blood gushing out.

The chicken’s eyes gradually dimmed, but it endured the pain and stood up again. For the chicken, this was extremely painful, and its heart was filled with fear.

The chicken gave Lin Fan one last look. Within its terrified eyes, two tears streamed down.

Fear, pain, and reluctance…

“Wok wok wok wok…” At that moment, the chicken cried out once more.

This was its final song. The chicken was saying its last goodbye to Lin Fan.

With a leap, the chicken soared into the air, blood spilling from its wound. It cried out in pain, but its eyes gleamed with determination.

At that moment, the chicken seemed to have learned to fly.

Its featherless wings flapped in the air.

Its sharp beak continuously pecked at the black arm.

But to the black arm, it was like a mere annoyance.

Yet even so, the chicken would never allow this creature to harm Lin Fan.

At that moment, the chicken was grabbed in the arm’s grip.

“Chicken…”

Lin Fan roared in grief.

The chicken, held tightly in the arm’s grasp, gave Lin Fan one last glance.

“Wok wok wok…”

“Bang…”

The black arm slightly tightened its grip, and the chicken let out a pitiful cry before its body was crushed into pieces. Thick blood splattered across the void.

The chicken’s bloodied body fell to the ground, motionless.

“F***ing bastard…” Lin Fan roared furiously, charging toward the black arm. With every step, blood sprayed from his wounds.

“Puchi…”

The black arm vanished into the void again. When it reappeared, it completely pierced through Lin Fan’s body.

Lin Fan spat a mouthful of blood onto the black arm.

With great effort, Lin Fan raised his hands, his eyes burning with endless fury.

“You killed my chicken… I’ll take your life…”
