Chapter 930: You've Got Quite The Backbone!
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
The Shang Family could be considered as one of the top families in the entire Solitary Heavens City. Even though the Solitary Heavens City was ruled by royalty, in this part of the world, power still reigned supreme above all else.
The Old Master of the Shang Family was a Divine celestial level 10, Eternal God state powerful being.
Shang Qingcheng's face was dark and grim right now as she kicked the door open in a huff and walked in towards the Main Hall. All the surrounding underlings bore frightful looks on their faces — they did not know what was wrong with their Missy.
For her face to look so terrible upon returning… Could something big have happened outside?
"Qingcheng, what are you doing?" Just as Qingcheng was throwing her tantrum, a middle-aged man walked over. He had a thick aura to him along with a sharp gaze. Filled with authority, he bore the full disposition of someone with might.
"Father, I've been bullied by someone," When Shang Qingcheng saw who it was that had arrived, she broke out into tears immediately. The events of today were something that she wouldn't be able to forget for the rest of her life, and would forever be etched deeply into her heart.
To think that she, Shang Qingcheng, would have been bullied by someone and had to endure the humiliation of being stomped on her face! How could she endure something as such?
Thereafter, Shang Qingcheng related everything that happened today as it was.
When her father, his face shone with bewilderment. Everything sounded extremely outrageous!
…
Within the Imperial City, the Crown Prince had ordered down for everyone to hunt out that man today as well. He felt that he had to regain some image for himself no matter what.
After all, someone had created trouble in his territory, and not only that, he had even taken a lashing from the other party! How could the Crown Prince tolerate this?
…
At this moment, Lin Fan had opened up his shopfront once more. He sat there all alone; however, his thoughts had long flown into the nether reaches.
Everything that the Great Sage had told him had him absolutely astounded. To think that the truth would be as such!
For the utmost powerful beings, this era was definitely the last era. No matter who it was, as long as they couldn't transcend through it, they would definitely vanish with the winds.
However, how could those utmost powerful beings accept something as such?
They had cultivated out all the way till now all for the sake of eternity! But now that they were discovering that this was the final era, how could it not drive them crazy?
"Woof! Woof!"
Right at this moment, the sounds of a dog barking broke through Lin Fan's train of thoughts. When he raised his head, he saw a barefooted kid who was wearing some tattered clothes and looking at him shyly while tugging a leashed black dog.
When he realized that Lin Fan was looking back at him, he broke off into a run.
"Just what is that strong looking kid up to?" Lin Fan chuckled out, totally unbothered by it.
But, to his surprise, it wasn't long before that kid had returned. He was still sneaking around at the sides. When he thought that Lin Fan wasn't noticing, he tried to stretch his hands into the cabinet to grab a bunch of pills.
"Kid, it's not good to steal something! You've got to rob openly and daringly! Otherwise, you'll lose your disposition as a man!" Lin Fan chuckled out.
"Woof woof!"
That little black dog snarled and barked out at Lin Fan. But, the moment Lin Fan looked over, he scared the little black dog so badly that it prostrated down on the ground, not daring to move anymore.
When he caught sight of this little black dog, a person did come into Lin Fan's mind. Only, he did not know where that Seven Saint Old Dog had run off to by now.
That Seven Saint Old Dog had been at odds with Lin Fan for a long time now since they were in the Xuanhuang World. Ever since the Infinite Worlds had opened up, he had followed along sneakily as well. However, Lin Fan did not know where he was right now.
He couldn't have been dead, could he?
When the little boy realized that he had been discovered, he was scared so badly that the already yellow face of his turned even yellower. He turned around and wanted to run away. But, since Lin Fan was feeling bored right now, he was looking to find some entertainment as well.
He then grabbed the boy's collar and hooked him up, "Kid, why are you stealing?"
"Baddie! Let me down!" The limbs of that little kid were short and stumpy. How could they possibly reach at Lin Fan?
"Aiyoh! You're quite domineering!" Lin Fan chuckled out before placing the little kid down.
With a thud, the kid kneeled down on the ground straight, "Boss, could you please do some good? My father has been whacked till he was injured by someone! I've got no money to buy medicine here! As long as you give some to me, Boss, I'm willing to work like a slave!"
"Gosh! Here I was just talking about how domineering you were! To think that you would kneel down so quickly! How boring!" Lin Fan shook his head. As he flicked out his fingers, a pill landed before the little kid.
"Take this pill for your father. Remember to be more domineering in life in the future! If I don't give it to you, just try to rob me! What's with that kneeling and whatnot?" Lin Fan 'educated' the boy.
If Lin Fan were to teach this boy, this guy would definitely turn into an overlord of the world someday someplace, and would bring forth harm for the masses!
The little kid was stumped. Those bright, innocent eyes of his opened wide as he kowtowed a few times rapidly. Taking the pills, he kowtowed yet another few times and broke into a sprint as though he could nearly fly out.
"Boooooring! I wonder when the Great Sage can finally heal from his injuries. This Unrivalled Heaven Duelling Mystic Technique is something that's extremely mysterious. To think that it would be for one to duel with the Heavens by increasing their fighting spirits."
The Great Sage had retrieved the martial arts mystic skill from out of nowhere and handed it straight to Lin Fan. And, because he was in possession of the system, it was naturally extremely quick for him to learn that martial arts mystic skill. Therefore, he had already cultivated the Unrivalled Heaven Duelling Mystic Technique to its entry level.
However, if he wanted to improve this to an even higher state, that might probably have to take some time.
This skill was unlike any other skills. With other skills, Lin Fan could easily cultivate them to an extremely profound state with just a single thought. But, this skill was something that required time to grind and cultivate.
At this moment within a broken and derelict hut…
A man laid there looking extremely skinny and frail. It was especially the case on his chest where there was a single slash wound. There was a black mist shrouding that chest wound of his as though it was corroding his body. The wound was extremely deep, and one could even see his innards.
If this were any normal person who had received a wound as such, they might have long died already.
"Father, I've got the medicine!" A crisp voice of a kid that was filled with excitement traveled out. The frightfully pale face of the man who was lying on the bed let out with a faint and weak smile. But, his brows furrowed closely after as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Father! I've got the medicine now! Hurry up and consume it, and your body will get better!" The little kid said excitedly.
The man's eye shone with a look of despair. However, he still forced out a smile no matter what.
An injury as such wasn't something that mere pills and medicines could heal at all. But, in order to give his son some hope, he could only consume it as an act.
"Alright, alright." The man knew that his time was almost up. The only thing he couldn't let go of right now was this son of his.
However, in order to not let his son get worried, the man did not care what sort of a pill this was. Even if it were poison or anything, it didn't matter to him anymore.
That was because he was the clearest about the condition of his body right now.
When the man received the pill over, he consumed it in a single mouthful before fondling the head of his son, "Alright, go out there and play by yourself…then."
But, just at this moment, the face of the man took a stark change as he let out a look of absolute disbelief.
He could feel a tremendous lifeforce ramming out within his entire body. The black mist that was shrouding his wounds was instantly purged away!
The corroded flesh of his was healing up rapidly as well!
"This… this…!"
The man's face was in fright right now as he looked at his son in utter astonishment. He did not know where in the world his son had obtained this elixir from!
Chapter 931: Please Don't Come And Annoy Me
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
This shopfront that Lin Fan had bought over was totally insignificant in the face of the Solitary Heavens City, and as a result, there weren't many customers. The main reason was because the previous owner did not have the strength to obtain some wondrous elixirs and whatnot. Therefore, it was only natural that most cultivators would definitely choose not to shop at his place.
As for Lin Fan, it didn't matter to him whether business was good or not. As long as the Great Sage's wounds recovered, he would leave this place immediately.
At the same time, he just wanted to hide for a short while now so that the utmost powerful beings could place their worries on other things and not fight him to the death over this.
After such a long time, Lin Fan wanted to take a good break to rest his heart and soul as well.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. There were many guards of the Imperial City that were roaming the streets as though they were looking to arrest someone.
However, Lin Fan wasn't bothered with these affairs in the least bit.
Suddenly, a dog's barking rang over.
"Woof! Woof!"
Raising his head, Lin Fan discovered that it was that little kid from before. However, there was now a middle-aged man that was standing beside the little kid.
The aura of that middle-aged man was unusual, and furthermore, there were traces of the aura from his pill earlier on. Evidently, this man must have been the father that the kid had been referring to.
"Father, he's the one who gave me the pill!" The little kid pointed at Lin Fan saying.
Now that his father had recovered, the little kid was naturally grateful beyond words. His impression towards Lin Fan had changed entirely. In fact, he was even slightly reverent of him by now.
The middle-aged man was someone of Divine celestial level 2 cultivation state. Therefore, he had some general knowledge about the world.
When he looked over, he discovered that the aura around this benefactor before him was well restrained, without any single bit of reverberations. It was just as though he was a common person. But, the middle-aged man knew that it would definitely be the mistake of a blind person to take this man as a common person.
Just that elixir alone could be considered as the most mysterious pill that this middle-aged man had seen in his entire life. Even if it were the most valuable pill in this world, there was no way it can just heal up those injuries he had in the blink of an eye.
That wound had been afflicting him for years now as he suffered endless days and nights of pain of being eaten by it. At the same time, he had searched for an endless amount of wondrous elixirs and miracle pills. However, most of them could only help stop his pain and not purge it away completely.
Thud!
"Thank you for your lifesaving grace, benefactor! I, Yang Wantian, am humbly filled with gratitude! I'm willing to work as a slave to repay you for this lifesaving grace, benefactor!" Yang Wantian declared with gratitude.
Lin Fan sat there and raised his brows while saying, "I'm lacking a sweeper here. You can stay here with that child of yours then."
Lin Fan was not going to be staying here for a short while only. Therefore, it was only natural that he needed someone to help him. Using a single pill in exchange for free labor, why not? Furthermore, this Yang Wantian would definitely be more than willing to do so as well.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! This is my child, Yang Zhixing!" Yang Wantian said.
"Yang Zhixing?" Lin Fan furrowed his brows, feeling that this name didn't amount to much.
"Master, is there anything wrong with it?" Yang Wantian could feel that the Master before him was someone that had way more than what met the eye. There was a deeply indescribable feeling about him.
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that… this name is way too common." Lin Fan replied.
"Alright then. From now on, he will be called Yang Batian. That's a name that's more domineering and can ring through the Heavens." Lin Fan remarked indifferently.
But in the eyes of Yang Wantian, it created gigantic waves. This name…!
He might be killed to death just by telling people about his name!
But now that this was a name given by his Master, he naturally had to accept it.
"Master, that's a great name!" Yang Wantian added on hurriedly.
"Father, your child here still thinks that Zhixing is better." The little kid commented innocently.
"No, THIS is good! Batian is good!" Even though Yang Wantian thought that Zhixing was better as well, he naturally had to accede to his Master's wishes now that he had acknowledged this man as his Master.
"Alright, go and sweep the floor then. Don't bother me if there's nothing up." Lin Fan did not say anything much and continued to enter his daze once more.
"Yes." Yang Wantian nodded his head before getting busy silently once more.
For him, this ceremony of acknowledging this man as his Master seemed a little too simple, didn't it? To think that it would be done with just a few mere words. Wasn't that too quick?
A few days later, Yang Wantian felt that it would not do for the shop to continue down this way. In the past few days, there wasn't even a single customer. As the underling, he could not help but feel worried.
He wanted to repay his gratitude. Therefore, he naturally did not wish for the business of the shop to continue being so cold.
"Master, I don't think that the shop's business is doing all too well. I think that we should try to purchase some pills or something." Yang Wantian seized the opportunity to sneak in some advice.
"It's alright. This is pretty nice like this. Oh, that's right. These clothes that you guys are wearing are a little too old. Go get yourselves some new ones." Lin Fan swept out with his robes and 100,000 Shengyang Pills poured out on the table surface.
Right now, Shengyang Pills were the globalized currency, and 100,000 Shengyang Pills was definitely no small sum.
This was the amount gathered from the powerful beings splitting out the Spirit Qi of the world.
For most people, 10,000 Shengyang Pills was more than enough for them to sustain life for an entire year. But for those who cultivated, these 100,000 Shengyang Pills were nothing more than just a slight drizzle.
"Thank you, Master!" Yang Wantian thanked immediately.
Yet, another few days later…
Lin Fan would always enter his Paradise daily to check up on the situation of the Great Sage.
At this moment, the Great Sage was shining with a golden glow around his body as a boundless power spread out through the air. The destructive power that was within his body rumbled up and threatened to take over his entire body.
The two opposing forces clashed with one another. For a moment or so, there was no clear victor just yet. However, Lin Fan could clearly tell that the destructive Power of Thunder was gradually shrinking down in magnitude. Most probably, it wouldn't be long before it was purged out of the Great Sage's body entirely.
That palm strike of the Old Master Thunder possessed every single last bit of his strength. It was already considered to be a great heavenly fortune for the Great Sage to be even alive right now.
That was also because the Great Sage did not have a Physical Body State as strong as Lin Fan's.
And on this day, the shop was still cold as ever. But all of a sudden, a large group of guards surrounded Lin Fan's shopfront.
"Finally found him!"
The leader amongst them was a man with an authoritative aura. When he caught sight of Lin Fan, his eyes shone with a raging fury. At the side of the man was Shang Qingcheng, whom Lin Fan had trampled upon with his feet.
They had been searching for him throughout the city for many days now. Since they had finally found him, they were naturally extremely excited.
However, they knew that this man was extremely mighty. Therefore, they brought a large group of mercenaries with them over.
"You guys…!" When Yang Wantian caught sight of these guards, his brows furrowed before he blocked the shop entrance.
"It's alright. Make way." Lin Fan said in a soft tone.
Seeing this situation before his eyes, Lin Fan wasn't bothered in the least bit. To him, it was just akin to ants coming forth to seek trouble with him.
Yang Wantian turned around to look back at Lin Fan before nodding his head and moving over to a side.
"Mercenaries, this is the man. You guys have to take him down." The Crown Prince ordered in a loud voice.
"Yes." The mercenaries nodded their heads immediately before turning around to look at Lin Fan. Seeing a young man as such, they weren't bothered about it at all. In their eyes, even though this lad might have some strength to him, it wasn't as though he could possibly defend against their combined attacks.
As for Shang Qingcheng, she was just looking at Lin Fan with a wrathful look on her face, "You b*stard! I'm going to ensure that you're filled with torments."
"Hais…"
At this moment, Lin Fan sighed out softly and placed the toy in his hands down.
"Divine celestial level 7."
"Divine celestial level 8."
"Divine celestial level 9."
"That's all the strength that you guys have? I've said this before for you guys to not come and annoy me, haven't I? Otherwise, you're going to have to bear the consequences yourselves."
At this moment, Lin Fan stood up. However, that indifferent expression on his face had the hearts of the mercenaries skipping a beat. In their eyes, this young man's figure itself before them was crushing down on their bodies just like a gigantic mountain.
Chapter 932: You'd... Dare?
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
At this moment, Lin Fan was expressing his exasperation. He was someone who kept a low profile to himself. Even with the domineering amount of strength he had right now, he was willing to hide and be a mere ordinary owner of a pill shop in this Imperial City.
But howdy dowdy! To think that there would be people who were coming right at his face to provoke him instead!
How could Lin Fan possibly endure something like that at all?!
At this moment, those mercenaries of the royalties were looking at Lin Fan in astonishment. That feeling from earlier on was unusually horrifying. It was as though they were meeting with an incredibly ferocious Old Ancient Beast.
In their eyes, Lin Fan was just like those Old Ancient Beasts who had been living in seclusion. The moment he opened his eyes earlier on, a boundlessly mighty aura erupted forth from him.
"Crown Prince, the situation doesn't seem quite right," One of the mercenaries whispered softly. He could sense that this young man before them was extraordinary, and didn't look too simple to deal with at all.
"Hmph! What's wrong with that? Just take him down," The Crown Prince snorted coldly, clearly not feeling anything off about this situation at all.
The peerlessly beautiful face of Shang Qingcheng looked as though it was about to explode from rage at any moment now. Those eyes of hers were fixated on Lin Fan with a death stare as though she could not wait to torment him to death hundreds and thousands of times over.
The scene of her being humiliated was something that she would never ever forget for the rest of her life. To think that this damned fella would dare to trample on her face in front of public! How could she endure something as such?
She was the number one beauty in this entire Imperial City, the goddess in the hearts of countless of men! Each time she went out, she would be revered by the masses just like the stars in the skies!
But, to think that this man before her would dare to stomp down on her beneath his feet, causing her to lose face in front of everyone else?
No matter what, she would have to seek vengeance for this.
"Chick, don't look at me with such vengeful eyes. Anyone who didn't know better might even think that you were dumped by me! I am someone who has high regards for my reputation, alright?" Lin Fan replied indifferently.
These bunch of little friends were simply way too ignorant of the world! If he were to burst forth with his full strength, he would scare them so badly they would practically piss the floor right now!
Yang Wantian shielded his son behind him before checking out the situation before him warily. As long as something didn't seem right, he would strike immediately.
"Shut up! I'll definitely make you regret that! What are you guys still waiting for? Hurry up and go at him!" Shang Qingcheng roared out at the mercenaries.
Even though the mercenaries were skeptical about this, they could do nothing else but to strike out at this moment.
BAM!
The strength of these mercenaries wasn't weak at all. Causing thunder to crackle out and the winds to howl, they struck out instantly.
Lin Fan squinted his eyes without budging a single inch. However, all of a sudden, the bodies of these mercenaries were sent rocketing back like bullets as they crashed down on the ground.
Lin Fan did not get lethal with his blows. After all, he would have to stay in this Imperial City for quite some time still.
The mercenaries who had collapsed onto the ground looked at this man within the shop with frightful eyes. They did not know what had happened at all!
At the very moment they had struck out, it was as though there was some formidable power that was slamming out on their bodies. By the time they came back to their senses, they were already lying flat on the ground!
This was definitely some incredible expert!
These mercenaries were no fools. They could tell that the man had shown them mercy. If he had gotten lethal with his attacks, they wouldn't be just lying down here right now.
"T-this…!"
The Crown Prince was filled with confidence at the start. But at this moment, he was completely flabbergasted.
This was too damned… bloody unreal, wasn't it?
All of these mercenaries were powerful beings that were guarding this Imperial City! But, the situation that was going on right now had the Crown Prince entirely startled.
To think that all of these mercenaries would be taken down by the other party in a flash! They couldn't even take a clear look at what he had done!
It was just way too fast!
Initially, Yang Wantian had thought that this was definitely an inescapable battle to deal with. But, the current situation had him equally confounded.
He knew of the strength of these mercenaries. They were powerful beings within the Imperial City and guarded a place with unparalleled fighting prowess. To think that they would all be defeated right now!
Yang Wantian looked at Lin Fan in shock. Just where in the world did this Master of his come from? How could his strength be this formidable?
"Right now, there's only the two of you left." Lin Fan blinked his eyes with a calm tone. It was as though he was talking about something that could not have been anymore normal right now.
"EH!?"
When Shang Qingcheng caught sight of everything before her, she was equally frozen. That curvy figure of hers started shuddering out uncontrollably as though she was truly somewhat scared right now.
Just where in the world did this sicko come from?
These guys were the mercenaries of the Imperial City with an absolute strength! They were just like god beings! But, to think that they would seem like mere ants in the face of this man, without even a chance to fight back at all!
"What are you trying to do?" Shang Qingcheng stumbled back. But, because her actions were way too huge, those two lumps on her chest bounced up and down as well.
"Hehe!"
Lin Fan sniggered despicably as though he was thinking of doing something. He then cast his sights over at the Crown Prince.
When the Crown Prince experienced this gaze, his heart skipped a beat as he opened his mouth with some fright, "I-I am the Crown Prince! If you do anything to me, you will definitely not make it out of this place!"
"The both of you, don't worry. I'm definitely not going to do anything to you guys. After all, I'm an advocate of peace." Lin Fan replied as he put in his brightest beam.
However, this smile was something that was ever so horrifying in the eyes of the Crown Prince and Sheng Qingcheng. Their hearts seemed to have been frozen up. They could feel a malicious breeze stemming from that smile.
"Ah, Batian, pass me the broom." Lin Fan said.
Yang Batian opened his eyes wide. For a moment or so, he did not know what all of this was about. However, he still skipped over and brought the broom that was almost twice his height over.
Lin Fan held onto the broom and smirked coldly, "Since you guys are here, I'm afraid the impression wouldn't be too lasting if you guys don't leave something behind."
"What do you want to do?!" The both of them were taken aback, not understanding what this frightening fella before them wanted.
"Huehue... What do you think?"
Lin Fan smiled out indifferently before the took the broom and spanked out at their bottoms.
Piak!
A crisp, clean sound reverberated through the shop. And following close behind was a series of tragic wails.
"I am the Crown Prince! How dare you…!"
"Ah! Help me!"
The Crown Prince was whacked till he was jumping up and down as though there was fire beneath his feet.
When Shang Qingcheng caught sight of this, she was completely dumbfounded as well. But right at this moment, she realized that the man had cast his sight onto her!
She could not help but gulp down her saliva as she looked at Lin Fan with some fright.
"You'd… dare?!"
Piak!
At this moment, there were two figures that were jumping wildly up and down on the streets. The feeling of that broom on their bodies was ever so painful!
This was something that they could have never imagined happening to them! But, the reality was smacking their faces real hard right now.
"You had better stop that! I'm the Crown Prince!"
"I'm never ever going to let you off!"
"AHHHH!"
These sorrowful wails rang out through the entire area. They sounded ever so horrifying that they sent shivers down the spines of everyone who heard them.
When all of the common folks caught sight of this scene, they were just rooted on the spot as well. They had realized who the two people being whacked were! One of the was the Crown Prince while the other was the number one beauty of the entire Solitary Heavens City — Shang Qingcheng!
Yet, at this very moment, they were being whacked so badly by that mysterious man that they were jumping up and down! They looked so darned pathetic right now!
All of the mercenaries could not help but gulp down their saliva as well as they exchanged glances with one another.
Horrific!
Chapter 933: Intent of Power
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
Within the Imperial City…
The Crown Prince was stripped of his clothing and lying on the bed right now.
"Argh! The pain's killing me!"
The Crown Prince was wailing out relentlessly. His back was filled with red marks. Even though his skin did not tear, the pain was still tormenting him to no end.
"Crown Prince, the pills are here." A Pills Cultivation Master hurried over while holding onto an elixir.
The cultivation state of the Crown Prince wasn't weak. If these were ordinary injuries, he could have healed them up with his own powers. But, to his great shock, no matter how hard he tried to channel his powers, he could not purge the pain away at all!
"Hurry up…! Hurry up!" The Crown Prince shouted out impatiently.
At a moment as such, he could only give the elixir of a Pill Cultivation Master a shot.
But, when the Crown Prince popped down the elixir and waited for it to take effect, he realized that there was no sh*t use at all!
"What is this pill that you've cultivated? How is it totally useless?!" The Crown Prince blared out in rage. The Pill Cultivation Master was so scared that he collapsed to his knees and knelt down while his forehead was filled with sweat.
The elixir was useless? How could it be? This elixir was something that was cultivated by gathering tons of godly medicines! How could it be useless?
"Son, what's wrong?" Right at this moment, an authoritative voice boomed out. A man wearing a long yellow robe walked over with steady steps.
When the Crown Prince caught sight of who it was, he started crying out immediately, "Father! There's an owner of a Pill Shop in the city who had dared to offend beyond his status…!"
"To think that there would be something as such! That is an unpardonable crime!" The moment the Emperor of the Solitary Heavens City heard of this affair, that mighty face of his was enraged. This was a downright provocation of the royal family!
"My son, you just take good rest! This matter, Your Father shall seek redressal for you!"
"Thank you, father!" The Crown Prince was elated beyond anything else. If his father were to head down personally, that damned fella would have no choice but to surrender!
…
But naturally, what the Crown Prince did not know was that after his father headed back, he had summoned the mercenaries over to him. When he clarified the entire affair, his face took on a myriad of expressions.
"Based on your word, that young man did not even go all out? It seems more as though he's intending to hide within the Solitary Heavens City!"
The mercenaries who had received Lin Fan's attack nodded their heads in response.
"That's right. The power of our strongest mercenary is already that of a Divine celestial level 9 state being. And yet, just like all of us, he could not make out how the other party had attacked at all. Even a Divine celestial level 10, Eternal God state powerful being would not be this strong. By the looks of it, he should be of Supreme state, or even higher." One of the mercenaries replied.
Upon hearing these words, the Emperor naturally froze up. A powerful being that was at the Supreme state and above? This was some character that was absolutely heaven revolting!
Even though they had the protection of the utmost powerful beings, the Solitary Heavens City was but a small little city! Whether it existed or was destroyed wasn't something that the Old Master would bother with at all.
"According to you guys then, do you think that this mysterious powerful being poses a threat to the Imperial City?" This was the matter that the Emperor was the most concerned about right now.
"I don't think so. As a powerful being, he naturally has the magnanimity of a powerful being. Even though the Crown Prince and the Missy of the Shang Family had openly provoked him twice, they did not end up with any fatal injuries. Not only that, to us, he seemed to be only chasing us away, and did not do anything overboard. I suppose that he should be trying to keep a low profile and hide within the Solitary Heavens City."
"In the opinion of your subject here, I think that the fact that the Crown Prince was able to meet such a powerful being is a celebratory news tantamount to the Heavens. If that mysterious powerful being had truly wanted to kill the Crown Prince, none of us would have been able to stop him. After all, we're nothing but ants in the eyes of these powerful beings. If the Crown Prince were to settle this on his own, who knows if there might be any connection to be made out of this." The mercenary said.
These words of the mercenary had the heart of the Emperor blossoming with happiness.
A supreme powerful being! That was not half bad now!
Initially, the Crown Prince had wanted to depend on his father for help. But by the looks of it, he had already been sold out by his father.
It was the same for the Shang Family right now. The Family Head of the Shang Family had the same idea as the Emperor, that this was an affinity for them. Therefore, he just placated Shang Qingcheng a little and had her go settle the mess on her own.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan was feeling joyous all over after having taught the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng a lesson. At times, it was pretty okay to find some things to do as well.
And just at this moment, his brows furrowed as he looked over to the vast, boundless void.
This was the aura of an utmost powerful being.
"Wantian, look after the shop." Lin Fan stood up and dove into the endless void. Yang Wantian looked at his Master who had disappeared and felt extremely astonished in his heart. He wondered just what sort of a background his Master had.
…
"Motherf*cking Human King, this is the first time we're meeting." The moment Lin Fan appeared in the void, a voice traveled into his ears.
Lin Fan froze up. To think that he would have been discovered by someone!
"Motherf*cking Human King, you do not have to worry. I mean no harm."
When the figure appeared before Lin Fan, he was even more petrified, "The Power Demonic God of the Ancient race, Pangu!"
Pangu looked exactly like all the other Ancient race beings. However, his aura was extremely composed, and was nowhere as berserk as the others.
At the same time, Lin Fan could tell that Pangu was the centrifuge of all power. There was an extremely boundless force that was emanated out from his body.
This was the power of the extremes that could destroy everything. It was a power that could tear down the entire world.
"Demonic God Pangu, how did you find me out?" Lin Fan asked.
"The moment you entered the Solitary Heavens City, I had already sensed it." Demonic God Pangu chuckled out while saying. However, because of the fact that he was still an Ancient race being, this laughter was still pretty scary to look at.
"You don't wish to kill me?" Lin Fan asked again.
Right now, he was the target that must be killed in the eyes of countless of utmost powerful beings. After all, he was someone who had stolen a whole bunch of Legendary Items.
As for this Demonic God Pangu, he was probably the highest of all the existences amongst the utmost powerful beings.
When his powers were accumulated to a certain extent, a fist could destroy everything in this world.
If he were to fight with the other party, even this Immemorial Ancient full cultivation state physical body of his might not be able to withstand even a single blow of it.
"Haha! Why would I want to kill you? The only reason why I came forth this time around was because I wanted to see for myself just what sort of a person this Motherf*cking Human King is who had caused all the other utmost powerful beings to run around in circles in a fluster."
"Are you the one watching over these living beings here? But, you're a Demonic God of the Ancient race, right?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"This is the race of my Sworn Brother. However, my Sworn Brother has fallen several eras ago. Right now, I'm just helping him to take care of them thoroughly." Demonic God Pangu replied.
Towards Pangu, Lin Fan was still slightly on his guard. As long as things didn't seem right, he would retreat immediately.
When the Demonic God Pangu realized that Lin Fan was still being wary of him, he chuckled out as well and then spoke up, "Your powers are decent. But, it's a pity that you haven't sought out the true source of power just yet. I'll gift this to you."
A golden imprint flew out of the palms of the Demonic God Pangu. Within this golden imprint was a horrifying power.
"This…!"
Right now, Lin Fan was completely dumbfounded. What in the world was this Demonic God Pangu doing here? Was he just here to give him an item?
"You don't have to think too much about it. This era is the final era. But, it's a pity that the others do not know that this has got nothing to do with their fortunes coming to an end. It's just that the Outworld Vessel is on its brink of destruction."
"If they could have transcended, they would have transcended a couple of eras ago." The Demonic God Pangu continued.
"What does that mean?" Lin Fan's brains were starting to hurt right now. The influx of information was getting a little too much.
"Hahaha. You'll understand once you reach that level. The sooner you understand, the more pressure it will bring forth for you, that's all." The Demonic God Pangu laughed out before he tore through the void and disappeared from where he was.
Lin Fan blinked his eyes as he stood on the spot. So, what in the world did he make the trip here for?
However, when that golden imprint made contact with his hands, the notification from the System came through.
'Ding…Discovered Intent of Power.'
Chapter 934: Just A Small Little Experiment
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
'What in the world is this Intent of Power thing?'
Lin Fan did not know what the Demonic God Pangu was up to.
One thing that Lin Fan hated the most was when people just left their sentences midway and left everything totally unclear. If not for the fact that he could not defeat the Demonic God Pangu, Lin Fan might have truly whacked him sprawling over so that he could say everything out clearly and properly.
'Ding… Congratulations on discovering Intent of Power.'
'Ding… Do you wish to accumulate the Source of Power?'
Lin Fan was stunned. Was there even a need to ask this? Naturally, he had to accumulate it, duh? Wasn't that just a nonsensical question?
Ever since Lin Fan had the System, he knew that he didn't have to be wary of being scammed by anything.
In front of the System, nothing could hide their true intentions at all. Back in the past when that Seven Saint Old Dog had wanted to scam him to death with the pills, it was all thanks to the checks of the System that Lin Fan had avoided the scam.
And right now, this Intent of Power here had Lin Fan developing some favorable impressions of the Demonic God Pangu. To think that he would come forth to give him such a nice gift!
The Demonic God Pangu who had already left long ago looked back into the distance behind him.
Towards this Motherf*cking Human King, he had pretty high hopes. If anyone could transcend through everything, it might just be this Human right here.
"Hais, only, I wonder if that Human will be able to comprehend the Intent of Power."
"Power is something that everyone has. However, the Source of Power is not something that everything can hope to comprehend."
As the Power Demonic God, the Demonic God Pangu was the strongest existence in the entire world. However, even if it were him, he could not break through everything and transcend. If this Motherf*cking Human King wishes to transcend without being able to comprehend the Source of Power, that would naturally be something impossible as well.
Shing!
Just at this moment, the void far in the distance began to tremble as a formidable power surged its way into the void.
"T-this…!"
The Demonic God Pangu was dumbfounded when he sensed the power that was emanated forth.
How could this be?
"How could that lad possibly comprehend the Source of Power so quickly?" The Demonic God Pangu was absolutely astounded right now as his face was filled with utter bewilderment. As the Power Demonic God, it was born in him to be able to comprehend the Source of Power.
Over the countless of eras that had passed, he had gifted the Power Imprint to many of the savants and geniuses of those eras as well.
However, to the disappointment of the Demonic God Pangu, none of them were able to comprehend the Source of Power. Although, those geniuses were pretty exceptional in their own rights as well. Through the Power Imprint, they managed to comprehend all sorts of mystical and supreme martial arts skills.
This was something that the Demonic God Pangu had considered as extraordinary as well.
But right now, he was left entirely speechless. He had ONLY just left, and the Motherf*cking Human King had already comprehended the Source of Power? This was way too horrifying!
Looking over with a deep gaze for one final time, the Demonic God Pangu eventually left the place.
…
"Could this be the Source of Power?"
Right now, Lin Fan could feel some changes going on within his Inner World. Within the center of his Inner World was a source that was like the mouth of a spring being surrounded by a Mist of Power.
The Xuanhuang World, Earth, and his Paradise were all revolving around this Source of Power continuously.
"This is pretty interesting."
Lin Fan had suddenly realized that his powers had gotten more mysterious right now. He then returned to the Pill Shop and continued to try figuring this out even further.
Yang Wantian looked at his Master. He realized that his Master seemed a little different upon his return.
After entering the backroom, Lin Fan sat down cross-legged as his Essence, Spirit and Vitality were all fused into his Inner World.
'Source of Power: Level 1.'
"To think that there's even a level to this! Seems like I've got to comprehend this properly on my own."
Ever since he got the system, everything had turned into numerical values. Even if he wanted to level up, he would require experience points.
When Lin Fan's Essence, Spirit and Vitality started churning together with the Source of Power, the notifications of the experience points rang out.
"Oh, so that's the case!"
Ever since he had comprehended the Source of Power, every single strike that Lin Fan made was filled with a formidable amount of force that ruptured forth. Even though his personal cultivation state had yet to be raised, every move of his was way stronger compared to before.
The days passed one after another…
One month later, when Lin Fan opened his eyes, a brilliant light shot out of both his eyes.
"Could this be the True Essence of Power?"
After an entire month of hard work at cultivation, the Source of Power had finally reached level 2 successfully. Even though it was just an increase of a single level, Lin Fan could clearly feel that his personal strength had turned ever stronger.
This was the booster of the True Essence of Power, similar to when he was buffed with the True Essence of Fire and Water from the Fire Water Empress.
However, the True Essence of Fire and Water that he had once comprehended were imparted to him by the Fire Water Empress, and not something he had cultivated out on his own.
But right now, this Source of Power was something that belonged to him personally. No one else would be able to snatch this from him.
"Master, you're out of your seclusion!" When Lin Fan came out, Yang Wantian rushed forth and greeted him immediately.
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded his head.
He then looked over at Yang Wantian's son beside him. Suddenly, a thought struck Lin Fan.
Or perhaps, this could be considered as an experiment.
Now that he had already comprehended the Source of Power, he wondered if he could have Yang Batian comprehend the same Source of Power as well.
If he could do that, wouldn't it be absolutely heaven revolting?
After all, the name of this lad was something that he had given himself! With such a domineering name, if he didn't have an equivalent amount of power matching it, wouldn't that be something irreconcilable?
"Lad, come over here." Lin Fan curled with his finger.
Yang Batian twerked his bottom and came before Lin Fan. Those innocent and huge eyes of his shone with curiosity, wondering what his Master had called him over for.
During this period of time, Yang Wantian had been brainwashing his own son. The man before him was his Master. Therefore, it was naturally easy to brainwash his child, and it was thus no wonder that by now, Yang Batian was clear of the fact that Lin Fan was HIS Master as well.
Yang Wantian looked over at his Master and then back at his child. He wondered what his Master was up to.
Lin Fan placed his palms on the head of Yang Batian.
"Impart."
The Trainer module had the function of imparting skills naturally existent within it as well.
"Source of Power."
Indeed, it was as Lin Fan had suspected! The Source of Power could truly be imparted over to Yang Batian!
"The System is just absolutely heaven revolting now!"
If the Demonic God Pangu were to find out about this, he would definitely be shocked sh*tless.
At the start, Yang Wantian did not know what was going on just yet. But all of a sudden, he realized that the aura of his child had changed!
A boundless amount of power was bursting forth from the body of his child. This power brought with it an aura that could devastate the entire world!
Yang Wantian was a Divine celestial state powerful being. Therefore, he could naturally sense the difference in terms of the power. This could be considered as something that had surpassed everything!
"You're still too young right now and it's definite that you will not be able to control this well. I guess I should only activate it for you when you're older."
Lin Fan felt that if outsiders were to find out that a power as such was being emanated out of the body of this child, they would definitely tear him apart to experiment on him! Therefore, it was better for him to seal up the skill and wait for him to grow older before he started cultivating on it. By then, he should be able to have more mastery over it.
Thud!
At this moment, Yang Wantian collapsed onto the ground, kneeling in a loud thud.
"Thank you, Master! I, Yang Wantian, will definitely serve you with all my heart from now on forth even at the cost of my life!"
It was natural that Yang Wantian could sense the power that was brooding within the body of his son. This power had him feeling absolutely fearful. Therefore, there was no need to even talk about how great of a gift this was.
"Yes."
Regarding something as such, Lin Fan naturally did not put it to heart. This was just a small affair. Furthermore, this was also just a small little experiment on its own.
Right now, Yang Batian was still too young to understand. However, this path he was on was one that was retrospective at this moment.
By the time he came of age and awakened this Source of Power within him, he would definitely be on the path where he would hang and whack any genius in his path.
And, to think that all of this was just a little experiment in the eyes of Lin Fan.
Chapter 935: Could There Be Enemies Knocking?
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
After an entire month of resting, the pain on the body of the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng had long dissipated entirely.
At this moment, the both of them were meeting up at a restaurant.
"That fella should have already been suppressed by my father." The events from a month ago were something the Crown Prince still remembered deep in his heart. If not for the fact that the pain was way too intense and he had no other choice but to rest it off, he might have already brought an army with him to go take down the other party.
Shang Qingcheng did not reply. However, her eyes still shone with an indignant rage. Even with the passage of time, the anger within her could not be washed off at all.
"How are you so certain that your father has already done something about it?" Shang Qingcheng asked.
In reality, Shang Qingcheng did not have much feeling towards the Crown Prince. However, right now, they could be considered to be sharing the same types of lives. Both of them had been trampled down by Lin Fan.
"Is there even a need to ask? The dignity of the Royal Family is not something that any common folk can trample on! No matter how strong he is, it's not as though he could be stronger than the entire might of our royalty, can he?" The Crown Prince said with confidence.
"That's true as well." Shang Qingcheng nodded her head, feeling that the words of the Crown Prince did make some sense.
"Eh? Why does it seem as though there are so many people from other races here recently?" When the Crown Prince looked out at those people on the streets, he realized that there were a lot of foreigners coming recently. All of these foreigners were draped in black robes and looked far from normal.
"Huehue. Is this what the Crown Prince like you should be worrying about? Perhaps, we should be going to check out whether that fella has been dealt with instead." Shang Qingcheng asked.
"That makes sense as well. Alright, we'll go take a look." Initially, the Crown Prince had wanted to check out what these foreigners were here to do. But the moment he thought about that damned Lin Fan, his heart was filled with a ball of burning rage.
…
At this moment, the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng were sneaking around furtively somewhere nearby while checking out the situation within the shop.
"Eh? That fella is gone!" Shang Qingcheng said.
"Hmph! That's for sure. With my father making a move personally, it's not as though that fella would dare to show his face still, would he?" The Crown Prince burst out in laughter.
"That fella there seems to be a shopkeeper. If your father had already dealt with that darned fella, how could this guy still possibly be around?" Shang Qingcheng asked.
"My father is a benevolent and merciful king. Therefore, he obviously would not implicate the innocents within their feud. This shopfront should be managed by this guy right now. Let's go over and check it out." After observing for a long time, the Crown Prince finally made the decision to head up and check out the situation personally.
Yang Wantian was just busy dealing with the affairs of the shop. With that miraculous encounter of his son, he was filled with an immense gratitude towards Lin Fan.
He had initially thought that this would be all he would amount to for the rest of his life, and he thought the same for his son as well. But, by the looks of things right now, this wasn't how the situation was turning out to be at all. This was something that had Yang Wantian immensely excited. Every single day of his life right now was filled with motivation.
As for the affairs of the Pugilistic World out there, he did not want to ask too much about it. All he wanted to do now was to repay Lin Fan properly.
"Cough, cough." The Crown Prince placed his hands behind his back and walked into the shop, "What's going on now? Are you the owner now?"
Yang Wantian had initially wondered what sort of a guest it was that had arrived. But when he saw who it was, his face was startled, "The Crown Prince, your highness!"
Yang Wantian was a native resident of the place. Therefore, he naturally knew who the Crown Prince was.
"Yes, you must remember. The great might of my father is boundless. For him to let you off, you should definitely show him your gratitude and be filled with thanks." The Crown Prince said.
Yang Wantian was stunned, not quite understanding what the Crown Prince meant by this.
When the Crown Prince looked at the surprised expression on the face of Yang Wantian, he was naturally extremely proud within his heart. It was evident that the darned fella had been suppressed down by his father.
"Oh? I see that a distinguished guest has arrived?"
Just at this moment, Lin Fan walked out from the backhouse with a bright smile on his face.
When the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng heard this voice, the both of them had a stark change on their face. It was as though they had just seen a ghost as they were filled with immense disbelief.
"Y-you…!"
The both of them hadn't expected that this fella would still be doing all fine right now. It was as though nothing had happened to him at all! T-this…!
"What's wrong? Are there any problems?" Lin Fan smiled while asking.
"How could this be? How are you still here right now?!"
The Crown Prince exclaimed in shock. His father had promised him that he would deal with this fella here! But how could this fella still possibly be here?
Could there have been something else that had happened in between?
"Master, the broom!"
At this moment, Yang Batian scrambled over from the distance while holding onto the broom.
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded his head. This was a pretty decent kid to know what he was thinking about right now. Seems like Lin Fan's changing of Yang Batian's fate hadn't been wasted at all.
When the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng caught sight of this broom, their faces turned frightfully pale instantly. After all, the trauma brought to them by this broom was way too deep.
They were left lying on the bed for one entire month. This was a feeling that one would never be able to understand for their entire life unless they experienced it for themselves.
"You'd still dare to whack me? Aren't you afraid…?!" The Crown Prince howled out.
"Huehue. Since you're here, stay here then. What wouldn't I dare to?"
Piak!
"Ahhhh…!!!"
All of a sudden, a tragic wail rang forth. The Crown Prince was being whipped like a monkey right now as he hopped up and down.
"Stop that! Stop that now!" The Crown Prince howled out. This guy was just a beast! And furthermore, he did not even know how this guy could manage to do it!
While there wasn't much of an injury after he was whipped, the type of pain that lingered was something that persisted for an entire month.
"Don't you come over …!" Shang Qingcheng looked over at Lin Fan. That supremely ravishing face of hers had turned pale as a sheet by now.
This guy was just a twisted pervert! Out of all the places he could whack, he targeted her bum, and only her bum alone! Because of that, she even had to sleep sprawled over without being able to flip her body around at all!
"Aiyoh! It's gotten quite a bit perkier, hasn't it?" Glaring at the bum of Shang Qingcheng, Lin Fan sniggered despicably.
"Don't you come over…!"
In the eyes of Shang Qingcheng right now, Lin Fan was just like the devil.
"Hehe…!"
"AHHHHH!"
"Somebody save me…!"
A sorrowful shriek rattled the entire world, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
While Lin Fan was teaching these two fellas a lesson, there were two other figures that were standing in the void somewhere in the distance.
"Emperor Wu, that young man is truly a supremely powerful being." The Family Head of the Shang Family said.
"Yes."
…
One month later…
In order to let himself get bored, Lin Fan did not give the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng the same type of pain to endure as before. Because of that, they got more ferocious in their confrontations and ended up coming forth to look for him, only to end up being whipped daily.
…
Within his Paradise, the wounds of the Great Sage had gradually started recovering. As for the level of the Source of Power, it was at level 2 still. There was a little bit of distance from reaching the next level.
Lin Fan had given it a rough calculation. It wouldn't be long before he left the Solitary Heavens City now.
Once the Great Sage recovered from his wounds, that would be the time to go for war.
Given the character of the Great Sage, he would definitely head out to seek revenge for his fallen comrades.
Shing!
All of a sudden, Lin Fan's brows furrowed. A ball of Blood Qi shrouded over the entire world and enveloped the Solitary Heavens City completely.
Raising his head over, Lin Fan could see a blood red light screen shining in the void that covered the entire Solitary Heavens City. On this blood red light screen were countless runes that flashed out as though this was a formation of sorts.
The blood seas ran through the entire sky as a bloody stench filled everyone's noses, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Just what in the world is going on with this situation? Could it be that some enemy has come knocking on our doorsteps?"
Chapter 936: Blood Sea Formation
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
However, when Lin Fan looked up at the few figures in the void, he heaved out a sigh of relief as well.
"Seems like I've just been overthinking things. Like I said, Yours Truly has kept himself hidden so secretively! How could those retarded utmost powerful beings possibly find me out?"
However, these guys seemed a little stupid now. This was the territory that was guarded by the Demonic God Pangu. For them to dare to head here and act so audaciously… Weren't they afraid of death?
"Master, they seem to be of the Bat race. But, what in the world are they doing here?" Yang Wantian reared his head up into the void and asked curiously.
"That's none of my business. Someone else will come and settle it." Lin Fan replied calmly. Hearing that, Yang Wantian nodded his head and got back to being busy once more.
At this moment, the residents of the Solitary Heavens City looked up at the void in fright. They did not know what was going on right now. The entire city was enveloped by this light screen that shone with a blood red gleam.
The sinister laughter ringing out was especially chilling for these residents. It was as though there were an infinite number of devils and evil creatures swarming and dancing around their ears.
At this moment, four beings of the Bat race looked down at the panicked residents of the Solitary Heavens City, and could not help but roar out in laughter.
"Their bloodlines are ours for sure! In order to break through this defensive formation of the Solitary Heavens City, we've remained hidden and waited for a long time now!" A living being of the Bat race with bloodshot eyes chuckled out while saying.
"The Blood Sea Formation that the Old Master gave us is truly extremely strong! As long as we refine all the living beings within the Solitary Heavens City, we will be able to cultivate out the Saint Graded God Blood! With that, our strength will definitely turn even stronger!"
The Blood Sea Formation was a skill used to refine living beings and extract the bloodline within their bodies. This was the cultivation method of the Bat race: To steal away the fruits of success from other people.
Initially, the Solitary Heavens City had a defensive formation that was laid down by an utmost powerful being. But, with the Blood Sea Formation that was granted to these beings of the Bat race by their Old Master, they were able to demolish the defensive formation of the Solitary Heavens City.
Right now, the living beings within the Solitary Heavens City were like fishes in a net that could be taken away to be used as refining material at any moment.
When the countless of cultivators saw the situation turning as such, they naturally would not surrender without a fight. But, when they witnessed the might that was plummeting down from the void with such a berserk form, the aura filled with a bloody stench was embedded deep in their hearts.
Within the Imperial City…
BOOM!
A few figures bolted up into the sky.
The mercenaries of the Imperial City bore grim looks on their faces, "Bat race, our Solitary Heavens City has always steered clear of your way and neither side has offended the other. What is the meaning of this?!"
All of these mercenaries were initially natives of the Solitary Heavens City that went out for training on their own. After their cultivation states were raised, they then returned to where they came from and bowed down to serve the Imperial City. With that, they were under no one else but the Royal Family, and protected the entire place.
Even though they did not know what was up with the current situation, they knew that this could definitely be nothing good.
In the past, the Solitary Heavens City had also faced some external invasions. But, all of that was dozens of years ago. It had been extremely peaceful afterward. However, the situation that was unfolding right now left them feeling really uneasy.
They did not know which utmost powerful being had laid down the defensive formation for the Solitary Heavens City. However, it was extremely miraculous, and could defend against everything.
But right now, they discovered that the defensive formation had been broken through by these guys, and could no longer function anymore!
"Father, to think that these damned beings of the Bat race would dare to come act brazenly in our Solitary Heavens City! Let me, as your son, go deal with them!" The Crown Prince declared in an enraged tone.
"Come back and stay one side."
The face of the Emperor was solemn right now. This current situation was far from ordinary.
"Cheche! A race that has no protection of an utmost powerful being? You guys have nothing awaiting you but death. Your Granddaddy of the Bat race here is in the midst of cultivating a peerless mystic skill and requires your bloodlines! This can be considered as your honor as well!" A being of the Bat race shrieked out in an extremely high pitched and shrill voice.
"Reversal Formation!"
BAM!
Four of the beings of the Bat race roared out as a mysterious power seeped into the formation. All of a sudden, the gigantic blood red light screen that was enveloping the entire Solitary Heavens City seemed as though it was like a water current that started flowing down.
Those mysterious runic symbols that were filled with a nefarious aura glimmered even more sinisterly.
A vile and horrifying aura burst forth from it, just like a gigantic mountain crashing down on the bodies of the residents of the Solitary Heavens City.
"Brazen!"
The mercenaries could no longer bear with it as they struck out immediately. They could already sense the powers emanating out of that gigantic formation. Within it was a Power of Refinement.
It tried to communicate with their bloodlines as though it wanted to rip them out of their bodies entirely.
But, the moment these mercenaries struck out, a few streaks of blood red light beams bolted out from within the city.
"Cheche! Any form of resistance is futile!"
The color drained from the faces of the mercenaries. To think that there were beings of the Bat race hidden within the city itself!
…
"These so-called powerful beings of the Imperial City don't seem as though they're able to hold out." Lin Fan was watching the situation up in the void as though it was a movie along with Yang Wantian and his son. He could not help but blurt out.
"Master, it's evident that these beings from the Bat race were prepared before coming over. Even though the strength of these mercenaries may be strong, they seem to be restrained under the power of that blood colored formation." Yang Wantian remarked.
"Yes. The formation can cause an immense amount of repression onto one and lock down the power of your bloodline directly. To think that the Bat race would be in possession of such a mystic skill." Lin Fan replied.
However, there was something that bewildered Lin Fan. Why didn't the Demonic God Pangu appear yet? Wasn't he here to help look after the race of his Sworn Brother?
However, on second thought, the world was so huge and there were so many cities. How could he possibly be able to watch over all of them?
"All of you ants don't have to struggle anymore. Just stay there obediently and let us snatch away your bloodlines! Perhaps that might even help you to keep your life!" The beings of the Bat race burst out laughing wildly.
To them, the Solitary Heavens City was already a done deal in their eyes.
"Father, are you alright?!" The Crown Prince shielded his father behind him immediately. He hadn't expected for the countless of mercenaries of the Imperial City to not be a match for these beings of the Bat race. This was something that he could not have imagined at all.
Cough, cough!
The Emperor coughed out a mouthful of blood as his face turned pale. He evidently hadn't expected that these beings of the Bat race would be this strong.
Under the might of this formation, he could not even unleash half of his actual strength.
Pshew!
At that moment, the formation started moving.
All the normal residents of the Solitary Heavens City started screaming out tragically. They could feel as though something was about to burst forth from their bodies.
"That's right! I'll go look for that fella! He will definitely be able to help us!" At this moment, a thought struck the mind of the Crown Prince. He then sprinted off into the distance with all his speed.
"Son, where are you going?"
"Father, I'm going to seek help from that man!" The Crown Prince said.
"Come back! This is the Bat race we're talking about! If he was willing to help us, he would have struck out long ago…" The Emperor knew that if the other party had wanted to do anything about this, he would have done it long ago. But, there had been no sign of anything up until now. Perhaps he was wary of the utmost powerful being of the Bat race as well.
However, the Crown Prince had long vanished from the spot by now.
"Master, are you really going to make a move?" Yang Wantian asked.
Right now, even if Lin Fan did not want to help out, he couldn't avoid it at all. Initially, he had thought that the mercenaries of the Imperial City would be able to solve these issues. But to think that they would be so weak that they couldn't even fight back in the slightest bit.
No matter what, the Demonic God Pangu had given him a little something. If he did not make his move, at this rate, the Solitary Heavens City might just be annihilated entirely.
And just as Lin Fan was prepared to move out, a figure burst over from the distance in a state of hysteria.
From another direction, another figure hurried over as well.
When Lin Fan took a closer look, he was elated.
It was the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng…
Seemed like those two fellas were not so stupid after all to know to seek him for help. But, since that was the case, he might as well let them exhibit some of their sincerity.
However, Lin Fan knew that if he were to strike out, it would also mean that that would be the time for him to leave this place. After all, the Old Master of the Bat race had a nose that was even more sensitive than that of a dog.
Chapter 937: Indeed, He Had Really Been Found Out
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
Lin Fan sat there in a relaxed manner looking as though he was totally unbothered by all worldly affairs.
"The broom is here!" By habit, Yang Batian brought the broom over immediately.
When the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng caught sight of this broom, the expression on their faces changed slightly. It was as though they have lost a bit of their guts. But at this moment, the Crown Prince stepped forth immediately and disregarded the broom entirely.
"Aiyoh! There's something strange about today! To think that you would come looking for me personally. Aren't you afraid of being whacked by my broom?" Lin Fan asked while chuckling.
"Hehe…!" The Crown Prince revealed an extremely awkward smile.
"Gosh, you look even uglier when you're smiling than when you're crying. Put on a serious face please." Lin Fan remarked.
"Yes!" Immediately, the face of the Crown Prince turned solemn. He then looked over at Lin Fan with a pleading expression.
"Could you please help me?" The Crown Prince spoke up. His voice was a little weak as though he was out of breath.
This man before him was someone he could not offend. The powers of the other party were extremely profound and unperceivable. There was no telling what cultivation state he was at.
Now that the Solitary Heavens City was meeting such a situation, if he were to still put on a strong front and cause the other party to feel uncomfortable, the Crown Prince would definitely be filled with remorse should the other party choose to chase him away with the broom as per usual.
"You wish for me to help you?" Lin Fan chuckled out while asking once more.
"Yes, yes!" The Crown Prince nodded his head hurriedly. He believed that as long as the other party was willing to help out, these beings of the Bat race would definitely be taken down immediately.
At this moment, Lin Fan put on an expression as though he was being placed in a spot right now, "But, why should I help you? After all, these beings of the Bat race have come looking for trouble for you guys. There's nothing to do with me at all, eh?"
"Otherwise, how about you give me a reason for me to help you and try convincing me?" Lin Fan added on.
"Ahhhh…!" The Crown Prince let out a troubled face. For a moment or so, he truly could not come up of any idea at all.
Shang Qingcheng, who was standing at the side, was starting to get anxious right now. The safety of the common folks had no sh*t to do with her at all. What she was concerned about was the safety of her family members.
Her father was also part of the mercenaries of the Imperial City who were fighting against the Bat race right now.
If this were to delay any longer, it might all be too late.
At this moment, Shang Qingcheng spoke up immediately, "As long as you were to help me, in the future, I'll let you whack me as much as you want without wearing any undergarments!"
The moment Shang Qingcheng said these words, Lin Fan was so scared his little heart and guts almost spilled out. This chick couldn't have been addicted to the whackings, right!? To think that she could even spout out such words.
At the same time, the Crown Prince could only gasp in admiration. This woman was something!
However, it wasn't as though there was no basis for these words of Shang Qingcheng as well. In the span of the past few months, she had been on the receiving hands of Lin Fan's attacks entirely.
However, there was a single remark that Lin Fan made which was stuck in her memories like a fresh sheet.
"Gosh, it really doesn't feel as comfortable whacking her when she's wearing undergarments."
For Shang Qingcheng, those words had brought for her an immense amount of humiliation. But at a moment as such, she could only bow down and submit to this man.
As long as this accursed fella would help her out, so be it if she didn't wear anything!
And, just as Lin Fan was just about to reply with something, the Blood Sea Formation that was up in the void above burst forth with the might it rightfully possessed.
Within the Blood Sea Formation was the aura of the Old Master Bat. This should be the power that was buffed up by the Old Master Bat to enable it to remove the defensive formation that was set on the Solitary Heavens City by an utmost powerful being.
Unless it was another utmost powerful being at work, there would be no formations or whatsoever that could possibly destroy the defensive formation.
"HAHAHA! Go to hell!"
The living beings of the Bat race roared out in laughter.
The faces of the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng changed once more as beads of sweat began to drip down from their foreheads. In a flash, the green tiles of the floor they were standing on were soaked with a wet patch.
The bloodlines within their bodies seemed as though they could rupture out at any moment now.
At this moment, Lin Fan took a step forth. Using his finger like a sword, he gave the air a gentle slash.
"Forget it! Let's take this as compensation for the joy and entertainment you guys have provided me in the past few months then."
All of a sudden, the Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng could feel the sensation of their bloodline trying to leave their bodies disappearing instantly. They then turned around to look at Lin Fan with a face of gratitude.
Even though this single finger of Lin Fan looked extremely casual without any special feedback coming from it, it was as though the entire void was sliced cleanly into two at this moment!
The gigantic blood red formation that was shrouding over the entire Solitary Heavens City was split into two as the shining runes within it started falling out.
Bam! Bam!
Explosions boomed out in the void as the Blood Sea Formation was destroyed.
The living beings of the Bat race were initially all prepared to gather in all the bloodlines. But all of a sudden, the entire formation had disappeared. The shock had their faces filled with astonishment.
"Just what in the world is going on?"
All of the residents who were filled with torments were suddenly released from their sufferings. They then let out a look of exhilaration.
'It's alright now! That feeling of torment is gone!'
When the mercenaries of the Imperial City caught sight of everything, their hearts skipped a beat. Just moments earlier, an extremely sharp aura shredded through the entire world and caused the Blood Sea Formation to disperse out.
At that moment, their hearts were filled with glee.
Within the Imperial City, there was only a single person who possessed a power as such.
"Who is it? Just who is it?"
But for the beings of the Bat race, the destruction of their formation naturally had them thoroughly enraged. A series of maddened roars rang out through the entire world.
But, just at this moment, the void trembled out as a heaven encompassing palm slammed up from within the Imperial City.
"What's that?"
There was a boundless power that was encircling the entire world. When the living beings of the Bat race caught sight of this gigantic palm, their entire hearts sunk. The power seemed as though it tunneled through the surface of several worlds and sealed this place entirely, leaving them with nowhere to escape from it at all.
"Old Master, save me…! Old Master, save me…!!!"
The living beings of the Bat race screeched out as they sent out their consciousness, seeking help.
All of these living beings of the Bat race were akin to ants. The moment they were caught by that gigantic palm, they disintegrated into dust with just a slight bit of strength being used.
"Thank you…! THANK YOU!!!" When the Crown Prince caught sight of everything before him, his heart skipped a beat. This power was something that looked too horrifying in his eyes.
Lin Fan did not say anything as he frowned instead. In his heart, he was feeling exasperated. Seemed like he had been found out.
The fact that these living beings of the Bat race had dared to come over to the Solitary Heavens City to try and refine the living beings here must mean that they obviously had obtained the approval of their Old Master.
At the same time, after Lin Fan took down all of these beings of the Bat race, it was only natural that the Old Master Bat would have received the feedback.
For utmost powerful beings, a single thought could reach the ends of the world. Even if they were several worlds apart, everything could be covered with just a single thought.
At this moment, Lin Fan floated up into the void and focused his sight onto the void immediately after.
"Old Master Bat, since you're here, come along with Yours Truly then!" Lin Fan tore off his mask and bolted off into the distance.
As for Yang Wantian and his son, Lin Fan did not take them along with him and left them behind at the Solitary Heavens City. The city was the safest option. At least, it was safer than for them to be tagging along with him.
The Crown Prince looked up into the void and did not know what had happened.
But just at this moment, a torrential might ripped through the entire world as a colossal bat hovered above the Heavens and Earth.
"Motherf*cking Human King…!"
This was a voice that was filled with fury and rage as though it bore some immense hatred of sorts.
The void quivered as a figure appeared standing solitary up above in the sky. The Old Master Bat took a glance at the entire Solitary Heavens City before he burst off and chased after Lin Fan.
"Motherf*cking Human King?"
The Crown Prince and everyone else muttered in their mouths.
Even though Yang Wantian had acknowledged Lin Fan as his Master, he did not know what sort of a person Lin Fan was the entire time.
But when he heard that mysterious powerful being mention the words 'Motherf*cking Human King', Yang Wantian made sure to etch that into his heart.
So, the title of his Master was…
Motherf*cking Human King!
Chapter 938: Come At Me Then!
Translator: Lam_ Editor: Hitesh_
"Motherf*cking Human King, you had better stop there for Your Old Master!"
Right now, the Old Master Bat was excited beyond anything else. To think that he would be the one to discover the whereabouts of the Motherf*cking Human King!
This Motherf*cking Human King had stolen tons of Legendary Items, and had long incurred the wrath of the utmost powerful beings who could not wait to rip his body up into shreds.
The moment the Old Master Bat realized that his Blood Sea Formation had been destroyed, he sent over a trace of his consciousness from the void. And when he discovered that it was Lin Fan, he was thoroughly exhilarated.
The previous time around, he had chased down this guy with the Old Master Thunder and the others for quite some time. But eventually, this damned Human gave them the slip. That was something that had them feeling extremely vexed. Right now, the Old Master Bat swore to the Heavens that he would definitely not let this Human make his escape once more.
"Stop your mother! Come chase after me if you've got the guts!" Lin Fan dove into the endless void as he roared out towards the Old Master Bat.
Just someone like the Old Master Bat and he wished to be able to take down Lin Fan? That guy had got to be dreaming! The eventual victor of this matter was to be determined just yet!
"Hmph! When I get my hands on you later on, I'll definitely have you know the true meaning of horror!" The Old Master Bat laughed out sinisterly. He was determined to suppress this Motherf*cking Human King entirely. If that were the case, all of those Legendary Items would belong to him!
The moment he thought of this, the Old Master Bat was filled with an endless amount of fighting spirit.
"Great Sage, how are you now!" Lin Fan had been communicating with the Great Sage in his Paradise this entire time. Through the couple of months of recuperation, the wounds of the Great Sage had healed up more or less by now.
"Almost done now!" The aura of the Great Sage had stabilized by now, and there wasn't much of an issue anymore. With no major issues bothering the Great Sage, Lin Fan heaved out a sigh of relief as well.
At this moment, Lin Fan checked out the situation of his surroundings. This was a desolate place with no signs of life whatsoever.
Leaping out of the void, Lin Fan floated gently up in the sky.
"Why have you stopped running?" When the Old Master Bat saw how the Motherf*cking Human King was just floating up in the sky, he broke into a cold laugh.
"Why should I run? Unless, you really think that you can take down Yours Truly, eh?" Lin Fan burst out laughing. Given his current strength, it wasn't much of an issue fighting with an utmost powerful being for a bit now.
In this period of time that had passed, Lin Fan had not just been dazing off in his shopfront and doing nothing else.
The Unrivalled Heaven Duelling Mystic Technique was a mystic martial arts skill of the Great Sage. Towards this mystic skill, Lin Fan could say that he had some sort of a personal understanding, because of which, his battle prowess had risen quite a fair bit as well.
As for the Source of Power, it had reached Level 3 by now, and that gave his strength yet another major boost as well.
Even if he were to fight it out with the Old Master Bat, it wasn't going to be entirely impossible.
However, an utmost powerful being was still an utmost powerful being no matter what. In terms of the states they were in, they were still above and pressing down on Lin Fan.
Right now, Lin Fan just wanted to try out his strength for a little.
In a flash, Lin Fan's body expanded out as a heaven piercing aura burst forth from him.
His battle intent was torrential as though he had just conquered through all the ancient times.
"Old Master Bat, show Yours Truly just how strong you utmost powerful beings are!" Lin Fan's body jerked tremendously as he activated his movement skill, So Near, Yet So Far. Instantly, eight Lin Fans appeared out within the void.
When these eight Lin Fans moved their bodies, countless of martial arts mystic skills were deployed in the blink of an eye. For utmost powerful beings, any form of stances or skills were all useless. To them, only absolute power could suppress everything.
Ever since he had comprehended the Intent of Power, Lin Fan had a great deal of confidence in his own strength.
"Pretty interesting!" When the Old Master Bat caught sight of the scene before him, he laughed out coldly. Momentarily, a torrential blood sea surged up into the sky as an unparalleled mystic skill was deployed.
The eight Lin Fans fused into one immediately and appeared on the side of the Old Master Bat. Slamming out with a single fist, a large amount of accumulated power was released, converging onto a single point that formed a typhoon of power, curling out before shredding at the Old Master Bat straightaway.
This single fist was the comprehension of Lin Fan gained over these past few months. It was as though a Power Demonic God was standing right on this fist itself. This was a fist that possessed the might of the Source of Power.
Lin Fan had an extremely talented gift and was able to comprehend any martial arts mystic skills in the shortest period of time. This was especially with this System that he possessed which was just like a BUG. This made him the sickest existence in this entire world.
Even though the Old Master Bat had always been looking down on the Motherf*cking Human King, when the fist burst forth with that unparalleled gleam of light, even the former's face could not help but tense up.
BAM!
This earthshattering fist was blocked out by that blood sea of the Old Master Bat. For Lin Fan, this punch felt as though it had just landed onto sponge. It felt weak and powerless as though all the boundless impact had been absorbed up by that blood sea.
"HURGH!"
Lin Fan roared out as the power of all three Worlds within him rumbled out furiously and the Source of Power boomed out even more intensely. With the powers being channeled, this punch caused the entire blood sea to disperse in an instant.
Step, step!
The Old Master Bat stumbled back a few steps as he put on a serious expression thereafter.
"That's the Source of Power of the Demonic God Pangu. How could a Human like you…?" Under a moment of carelessness from the Old Master Bat, he had actually taken in a slight loss! This was something that he felt absolutely unbelievable.
The Demonic God Pangu was once a Demonic God of the Ancient race. Later on, he became Sworn Brothers with an utmost powerful being of the thousands of races. Eventually, this Sworn Brother of his was killed by the Demonic Gods of the Ancient race. This had the Demonic God Pangu anguished beyond anything else, and in a fit of fury, he killed into the midst of the Demonic Gods of the Ancient race.
During that battle back then, the Old Master Bat had been a witness of everything. Towards the strength of the Demonic God Pangu, even he felt trepidation in his heart. At the same time, he became extremely familiar with the Source of Power. That's the reason why he could sense it the moment Lin Fan made use of the same move.
"What now? Are you surprised? But that's not the most surprising thing just yet. I've heard from the rumors that you're the weakest amongst all the utmost powerful beings! Old Master Bat, today, Yours Truly is going to take you down then!"
With that punch from earlier, Lin Fan could truly feel as though he had a shot at victory.
Even though his current strength wasn't even at the Immemorial Ancient full cultivation state yet, he felt that he had the confidence to be able to defeat the Old Master Bat.
"Big words! To think that with just someone like you, you'd think of taking down Your Old Master here! I'll have you know what a fool's dream that is!" The Old Master Bat roared out as a humongous golden bat with four wings soared into the sky. That golden body of his shone with a chilling aura.
The Old Master Bat boosted the power of the Bat World onto his own body. As that golden four-winged bat screeched out, it turned into a gigantic golden palm that tore through the void.
Lin Fan took a step forth and the void beneath him shattered. However, that did not bother him at all as a torrential battle intent burst forth from him. That battle intent was extremely formidable, making it seem as though he could fight across the endless firmaments.
"Unrivalled Heaven Duelling Mystic Technique…!" The Old Master Bat gasped out in shock. To think that this Human would even comprehend the mystic skill of the Great Sage as well!
Lin Fan's battle intent was surging right into the Heavens right now. When that gigantic golden palm slammed down onto Lin Fan's body, it did not cause him any harm at all.
"How could this be…?" The face of the Old Master Bat had lost all color right now as he was filled with disbelief.
Lin Fan laughed out coldly. What a country bumpkin! Bloody hell! The physical body state of Yours Truly had already reached an Immemorial Ancient full cultivation state! Even if he took out the strength he used to suck on his mum's tits, it wouldn't have a single f*ck use on Lin Fan!
Bam!
That unrivaled battle intent pierced through the Heaven and Earth as Lin Fan appeared right before the face of the Old Master Bat. As he punched out, his fist landed squarely on the Old Master Bat's chest.
BAM!
BAM!
The power exploded out as the body of Old Master Bat ruptured furiously as well.
The Blood Bursting Fist of the North Star was no joke. Even if the other party were an utmost powerful being, they would have no way of defending gainst this as well.
When that golden colored fresh blood sprayed out through the sky, the Old Master Bat screamed out at the top of his lungs, "MOTHERF*CKING HUMAN KING! YOUR OLD MASTER HERE IS GOING TO F*CKING KILL YOU!!!"
But, Lin Fan could only laugh out indifferently, "Come at me as you wish then…"
