The Eternal Axe carved a streak of light through the void, hurtling toward a disciple possessed by a sinister entity standing motionless in the distance.
The possessed disciple’s pitch-black eyes flared with dark energy. Its face twisted in a hideous grimace, tearing its lips open to reveal black teeth. From its mouth erupted a jet of black smoke, within which a ghostly face appeared, its gaping maw attempting to devour the Eternal Axe.
The moment the ghostly face made contact with the Eternal Axe, it let out a pitiful shriek and was instantly obliterated, utterly powerless to resist.
“Phew…”
Lin Fan, seeing this, was overjoyed. He struck true, cleaving the entity straight through the forehead.
“叮, congratulations on defeating a mid-stage入神-level sinister entity.”
“ding, gained 100,000 experience points.”
The Eternal Axe was a divine weapon once wielded by the founding ancestor of the Holy Sect. In the realm of legends, it could sever even a sky-obscuring demonic hand. Its might was unrivaled across the world. For such a minor sinister entity to dare attempt to consume the Eternal Axe was nothing more than a fool’s fantasy.
“Die!”
At that moment, another sinister entity lunged toward Lin Fan. With a single flick of his finger, Lin Fan shattered the void itself, reducing the entity to dust.
The cultivation technique passed down by the至尊 was also incredibly powerful. Although Lin Fan had only attained level one, its strength was already formidable. He looked forward with great anticipation to the day when he would reach its pinnacle.
“Go, Heaven-Cutting Sword!”
The Heaven-Cutting Sword, formed from pure sword intent, tore through the void and pierced the sinister entity clean through.
“ding, congratulations on defeating a high-stage divine-level sinister entity.”
“ding, congratulations on defeating a mid-stage Divine-Illumination-level sinister entity.”
…
The stream of experience notifications kept coming, and Lin Fan’s heart swelled with joy. This was exactly the feeling of leveling up he craved.
At this moment, like a wolf among sheep, Lin Fan cut down enemies wherever he saw them.
With one axe, one sword, and one finger strike, his techniques flowed seamlessly together. These sinister entities were like fish on a chopping block, completely at Lin Fan’s mercy.
“Who’s left?!” At that moment, Lin Fan stepped onto one of the entities with an air of dominance, coldly gazing at the few remaining ones.
When he had first entered this place, Lin Fan had nearly wet himself in fear. But he never expected these sinister entities to be so weak—each one fell with a single axe blow, not even able to offer the slightest resistance. They were practically weaklings.
Looking down at the struggling entity beneath his foot, Lin Fan mercilessly crushed its head with a single swing of his axe.
Standing tall and proud, Lin Fan gazed at the remaining entities with a cold smirk. “You bunch of sinister beings, if you know what’s good for you, kneel down and beg for mercy, or else you’ll learn just how ruthless I can be.”
At that moment, Lin Fan was reveling in his dominance. In his eyes, the lives of these entities were already in his hands.
Lin Fan possessed multiple supreme cultivation techniques, each with terrifying power. Even more shamelessly, he often combined several techniques at once, not giving his enemies even a moment to breathe.
“Hmph, so you refuse my kindness. Then prepare yourselves to witness the most terrifying cultivation technique in existence!” Lin Fan sheathed the Eternal Axe into his backpack and cracked his knuckles.
The divine technique “Reversing Heaven and Earth” hadn’t been used in a while. Now, he would test it on these sinister entities.
“Ha ha!” Lin Fan let out a loud laugh and charged into the group of sinister beings.
“Reversing Heaven and Earth!”
Lin Fan grabbed one of the entities. As it watched with its pitch-black eyes, Lin Fan’s hand seemed to shatter layers of void, striking directly at the target.
“ding, gained 1 experience point.”
“Huh?” Lin Fan’s expression instantly changed, his mind racing with a thousand galloping horses.
The “Reversing Heaven and Earth” technique no longer granted experience.
The disciples possessed by sinister entities felt no pain, nor any sensation of change at all.
“Waste of space…”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, blaming the sinister entity for this setback. He extended a finger, activating the “Floral Caress Finger” technique, which instantly shattered the entity’s body.
“ding, congratulations on defeating a mid-stage transcendental-level sinister entity.”
“You’ve all been possessed. As your senior, I cannot allow you to live in such disgrace. I shall now grant you liberation.” Lin Fan decided not to continue testing. These entities were simply too useless.
They couldn’t even grant him experience anymore. What use were they?
“Heaven-Cutting Sword!”
The sword formed from pure sword intent darted through the void, slaying every remaining sinister entity.
Lin Fan retracted his aura and turned his gaze to the last remaining ancient altar.
The runes on the altar were still glowing, radiating a sacred aura. Lin Fan assumed there was another sinister entity sealed within.
But he hesitated. Should he release it and kill it?
A thought struck him—if this sinister entity was too powerful, would he even be able to defeat it?
After some consideration, Lin Fan decided to retreat.
If it was weak, then killing it wasn’t worth the effort.
But if it was strong and he couldn’t handle it, then he was doomed.
Therefore, whether he released it or not, it made little difference to him.
Lin Fan turned to leave without looking back. But as he reached the cave entrance, a deep, sinister voice echoed from behind.
“Stop…”
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Fan’s heart leapt into his throat. Without even turning to look, he bolted toward the exit.
But as he moved, a stone gate suddenly blocked his path.
Lin Fan swung a powerful punch, attempting to shatter the gate, but was instead pushed backward several steps by the force.
“You cannot escape,” the voice spoke again from behind.
Lin Fan turned around. From the corpses of the possessed disciples, streams of black mist began flowing toward the only ancient altar ahead.
The voice was coming from within the altar.
The black mist coiled around the glowing runes, as if engaged in a struggle against them.
Lin Fan swallowed hard, feeling a wave of nervousness, but he couldn’t afford to panic now.
“Heaven shows mercy to all. I, as your senior, am willing to spare your life. Do not squander this chance,” Lin Fan declared fiercely, unshaken and fearless.
In his eyes, even this altar was nothing more than an ant.
But this time, Lin Fan feared he might meet his match. He knew better than anyone the difference in strength.
Thanks to his system, which came with a built-in scanning ability, he could see the altar’s power level clearly now:
“Initial-stage Lesser Heaven Position.”
If it were only that, Lin Fan wouldn’t be too worried. But the problem was, its power was rising rapidly—it had already reached the Middle-stage Lesser Heaven Position.
And it wasn’t stopping. Its power continued to climb steadily, with no sign of when it would end.
“Ten thousand monks sealed me for a thousand years, tormenting me day and night. You shall be my first sacrifice upon breaking free,” the voice from within the altar spoke again, sending a chill down Lin Fan’s spine.
“Let’s go all out.”
Lin Fan’s expression hardened. He seized the moment.
The Eternal Axe, the Heaven-Cutting Sword, and the Finger of Annihilation…
“Haha, excellent, excellent! I never expected my first sacrifice to be so strong.”
Lin Fan unleashed his full power, but before the altar, a dark barrier suddenly formed, blocking all of Lin Fan’s attacks.
Even the Eternal Axe could not break through.
At that moment, Lin Fan truly panicked.
