Chapter 1044: This Is Getting Interesting

Lin Fan was practically a cheat code. Ever since he learned the Five Elements Sword Intent at the Heaven and Earth Sect, he had fused it with his own sword intent, creating a more profound and mysterious one.

When unleashed, it possessed unfathomable, godlike power.

The long-bearded elder was horrified, but by the time he reacted, a figure had already appeared before him. That ordinary finger kept enlarging in his eyes, and on its tip, he sensed a sword intent he had never encountered before.

Ding!

The finger tapped the long-bearded elder on the forehead.

Hum!

A ripple spread outward.

"How dare you!" Ning Yuanjian roared, joining the other elders in attacking. Several bizarre sword intents shot straight toward Lin Fan.

"Haha..." Lin Fan instantly retreated, floating in the void with his hands behind his back.

"Somewhat disappointing. Though they are high-stage Golden Immortals, their foundation is too shallow. No wonder those peerless prodigies can kill above their level."

Lin Fan now understood why some geniuses could defeat stronger foes. Some people, in their rush to advance, lacked a solid foundation, and compared to true prodigies, the gap was enormous.

Within Ascending Dragon City.

Lin Hanyu's three senior sisters were dumbfounded.

"So strong..."

To them, Lin Hanyu's younger brother was incredibly powerful.

Facing the Iron Sword Sect's sect leader and several elders, he still handled them with ease.

Just then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded: the two elders suddenly began to change.

The elder tainted by the aura of doomsday screamed as his body rotted, as if invaded by something. His Golden Immortal laws cracked, turned to stone, then shattered in the void, scattering into ashes that drifted through the heavens.

"How can this be..." That elder had never expected to be suppressed in a single move.

"Heh." Lin Fan chuckled. His techniques were never simple. The descent of doomsday was no ordinary move; it also contained the power of Big Bro Fan.

Even using divine power to resist was useless.

"Ding, congratulations on killing a high-stage Golden Immortal."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining experience..."

Ning Yuanjian saw this and roared, "Elder Hu!"

But Elder Hu was already dead, without even a chance for his soul to reincarnate.

"You..." Ning Yuanjian glared at Lin Fan, but at that moment, the long-bearded elder also let out a miserable scream.

Lin Fan pointed a finger, and a terrifying sword intent shot into the elder's body.

Crack!

A sound of shattering rang out.

The long-bearded elder raised his head, and a beam of sword light burst from his forehead, shooting into the sky.

Bang!

Bang!

His body exploded, riddled with countless holes, each one erupting with a flash of sword light.

The long-bearded elder's body trembled, as if unable to withstand the overwhelming sword intent.

"Ah..."

Screams rang out without end.

His body, like a hedgehog, was completely overtaken by the sword intent.

Bang!

It exploded instantly, vanishing without a trace from the world.

"Ding, congratulations on killing a high-stage Golden Immortal."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining experience..."

"Ding, cultivation level increased."

"Cultivation: Mid-stage Golden Immortal."

At that moment, Lin Fan felt his power surge again. His Golden Immortal laws swelled, becoming several times thicker than before.

This was a qualitative change.

Refreshing, utterly refreshing.

The fastest way to raise cultivation was to kill.

Slay all the strong in heaven and earth, and he would become the supreme.

The fall of two Iron Sword Sect elders was a heavy blow to Ning Yuanjian.

Six had come, and now only four remained. This was a major loss for the sect.

At the same time, Ning Yuanjian couldn't believe that this person's strength could reach such a level. Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Lin Hanyu and the others were already staring in shock at the scene.

Two Iron Sword Sect elders had fallen, and they didn't even know how. There was no earth-shattering battle—just a few effortless moves, and the elders were dead.

What level of power was this? How could it be so terrifying?

The commoners below looked up, forgetting time and everything else, captivated by the scene in the sky.

This was their first time witnessing a battle between immortals.

There was no heaven-shaking, earth-shattering display, but the deaths were gruesome—especially the one pierced by thousands of swords, which they found spectacular.

Lin Family Courtyard.

"Son, keep it up!" Lin Haoming was exhilarated. Amazing, truly amazing.

Lin Shi looked on with worry.

Lin Lan'er was shouting and cheering, feeling her big brother was incredibly domineering.

The seven clan leaders were also stunned. This was real battle.

When the Iron Sword Sect descended, their aura was so overbearing, yet in the blink of an eye, two elders had fallen. It was too terrifying, beyond ordinary terror.

...

"Sect Leader, the enemy is too strong." The remaining elders of the Iron Sword Sect spoke.

Ning Yuanjian's face darkened. Rage flared in his heart. "Sacrifice the sword. Kill the enemy."

With a roar, Ning Yuanjian's bronze skin blazed with dazzling light that covered the sky. His figure blurred as he merged with the bronze longsword beneath him using some great divine ability.

The bronze sword trembled violently. The faint sword patterns on its surface emerged, releasing a vast, ancient sword intent.

The remaining three elders, their expressions grim, formed a triangle. Golden Immortal laws coiled around the heavens.

"Sacrifice the sword."

Boom!

A beam of light shot into the sky, and an overwhelming power enveloped the world.

A smile crept onto Lin Fan's lips. Interesting, very interesting.

The bronze sword was a celestial artifact. He hadn't expected them to have a divine ability that merged themselves with the artifact, unleashing even greater power.

The bronze sword's power grew stronger. With a slight tremor, the void around it exploded—a boundless sword intent that tore through space, enough to annihilate everything.

"You bastard! Today, your life will wash away the shame of the Iron Sword Sect!" Ning Yuanjian's voice boomed from within the bronze sword.

"Interesting, very interesting. Come on, then." Lin Fan laughed.

"Ascend!"

In that instant, the bronze sword's power broke through the Golden Immortal Perfection realm, reaching a higher level.

Early-stage Ancestral Immortal.

...

This cross-level challenge was truly domineering.
