Chapter 1045: Retarded

Above Golden Immortal is Ancestral Immortal.

Reaching this level of cultivation, one could basically live as long as heaven, and even dying was not so easy.

Ning Yuanjian and a few elders merged into that bronze-colored immortal artifact, their strength reaching such a level, which was indeed somewhat stunning.

If it weren't for those two elders being killed by Lin Fan in an instant, this strength would probably be even more formidable.

Lin Fan could sense the mana contained in this bronze-colored longsword; it was truly immense, not ordinary at all.

In this situation, Lin Fan dared not claim he could suppress the opponent, but it didn't matter; only after fighting would he know the outcome.

Lin Hanyu and the others were now showing terrified expressions.

The aura of an Ancestral Immortal enveloped heaven and earth, pressing down directly. They felt as if they were drifting in the vast ocean, where any wave could swallow them.

"That bronze-colored longsword is an immortal artifact. Now that they've merged into it, what kind of power will it unleash?"

"The Iron Sword Sect's most formidable divine ability is merging with an immortal artifact, thereby unleashing the greatest power."

"This time, it might be quite dangerous."

...

"You bastard, you dared to kill my son! Today I will make you die!" The furious voice of Ning Yuanjian came from the bronze-colored longsword.

That voice shook heaven and earth, filled with boundless rage.

Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, not taking it to heart. "Not bad. This divine ability is indeed somewhat interesting—merging with an immortal artifact, using its power to elevate your strength. Now you have the cultivation of a lower-grade Ancestral Immortal, which in the Endless Continent would be considered top-tier experts."

"Slash!"

Suddenly, the bronze-colored longsword stood upright and lightly slashed. The void, like paper, was instantly compressed.

Lin Fan raised his hand, mana surging, directly blocking the sword intent.

Bang!

Bang!

The violent power exploded.

Lin Fan stepped back several paces, his expression turning serious. Truly formidable. With his current strength, he might not be able to defeat it.

"Haha..." A burst of wild laughter came. "What other tricks do you have? This time, I will completely slay you here. You killed my son, so you will pay with your life."

Lin Fan shrugged. So troublesome. What should he do?

At this moment, Lin Fan began to think about what method he could use to kill the opponent. After merging into the bronze-colored longsword, the power unleashed was indeed extraordinary. He really needed to think of a good way to try.

"I will slice your flesh piece by piece, I will flay your body for ten thousand years, making you wish you were dead." Ning Yuanjian roared, and then the bronze-colored longsword slightly changed, shrinking directly to the size of a normal longsword.

After shrinking, the power did not diminish but showed signs of increasing.

Concentration is essence; it seemed this principle was indeed correct.

Swish!

Suddenly, the bronze-colored longsword vanished between heaven and earth. Its speed surpassed everything, impossible to track with the naked eye.

But for Lin Fan, he could see every movement of the longsword.

The speed was indeed very fast; even a Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection stage could be instantly killed.

Pfft!

The void stirred slightly. Lin Fan lowered his head. The longsword suddenly appeared above his head, slashing down from above. If he had been a moment later, his head would have been severed.

So sharp, so keen, so fast.

"Dodge? You can never dodge." Ning Yuanjian laughed wildly. The sword body suddenly changed its trajectory. Lin Fan was slightly startled, not expecting the longsword to have such ability.

Pfft!

Pierced!

The bronze-colored longsword directly pierced through Lin Fan's body.

"Haha... haha..." Ning Yuanjian laughed wildly.

Lin Fan looked down. The longsword was stuck in his body, and at the same time, a sword intent rushed into Lin Fan's body, directly beginning to shatter his Golden Immortal laws.

"How about it? Your time has come." Ning Yuanjian laughed, but when he saw Lin Fan's smile, his expression changed.

Lin Fan grabbed the longsword with one hand, then smiled. "You're finished."

"Huh?" Ning Yuanjian was stunned, as if he didn't understand what the other meant.

"Heaven and Earth Furnace."

At this moment, a smile appeared on Lin Fan's lips. He hadn't expected the opportunity to come so quickly. He had been waiting for this chance—a chance for someone to pierce him.

Hum!

The Heaven and Earth Furnace instantly appeared between heaven and earth.

"From today onward, the Iron Sword Sect will become a waste sect," Lin Fan said calmly, then jumped directly into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Suddenly, Ning Yuanjian was completely dumbfounded.

"Where is this?"

The furnace left him stunned, not knowing where he was.

At that moment, Lin Fan let out a fierce shout, held his breath, and pulled the longsword out.

Although his breakthrough from Golden Immortal to Ancestral Immortal had increased his strength, the other's sword intent was still far inferior to his own. Trying to destroy his physical body with such sword intent was nothing but a dream.

"Do you think this can trap me? You're only humiliating yourself. Slash!" Ning Yuanjian roared, and the bronze longsword exploded within the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Bang!

Bang!

The bronze longsword clashed violently against the furnace.

Lin Fan was startled, as if he hadn't expected Ning Yuanjian to be so domineering. If the man kept pestering him, he would have to suffer more, but now this guy was hacking at the Heaven and Earth Furnace—wasn't that giving him a chance to escape?

Invisibility!

Lin Fan entered an invisible state, then flew directly toward the furnace mouth, opened the lid, and sneaked out.

In the void, Lin Fan stood on the Heaven and Earth Furnace, breathing a slight sigh of relief.

He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

Bang!

Ning Yuanjian was still hacking inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

"A mere furnace wants to trap me? Slash!"

"Hey, what the hell is this? I can't see through it."

"Bastard, where did you go?"

"Damn it, come out!"

...

A series of furious roars echoed within the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Lin Fan pressed himself against the furnace, blinked, then looked at the wound on his chest. The Parasol Tree Divine Tree burst forth a bit of life force and repaired it.

"So simple. Ancestral Immortal, let this end here."

Refine!

Lin Fan said calmly. This was probably the smoothest time he had ever used the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Inside the furnace, Ning Yuanjian didn't tangle with him but instead went to hack at the furnace walls—how idiotic could one be?

Idiot!

"Ah!"

The refining began, and suddenly a miserable scream came from within the furnace.

"What is this?"

"Let me out!"

"You bastard, you tricked me!"

"You animal..."

Gradually, the voice grew fainter.

Lin Fan was somewhat expectant, wondering what the outcome would be.
