Chapter 205 About to Kneel Before the Big Boss

The Eternal Axe carved a streak of light through the void, cleaving toward a possessed disciple standing there.

The dark eyes of the Nether Fiend blazed with eerie light; its face twisted as it tore open its lips, revealing pitch-black teeth, and spewed a plume of black smoke. Within the smoke seemed to be a ghostly face, opening a huge mouth, trying to swallow the Eternal Axe.

The ghostly face had barely touched the Eternal Axe when it instantly let out a miserable cry and dissipated without any resistance.

"Pfft..."

Lin Fan saw this and rejoiced inwardly—right in the forehead, split open by the axe.

"Ding, congratulations on killing a mid-stage Divine Entry Nether Fiend."

"Ding, experience increased by 100,000."

The Eternal Axe was the divine weapon of the Holy Sect's founding patriarch; in the realm of illusion, it could even sever the sky-covering demonic hand with a single stroke. Its might was unmatched in the world. How could this petty Nether Fiend dream of devouring the Eternal Axe? It was pure fantasy.

"Die!"

At that moment, a Nether Fiend charged at Lin Fan. Lin Fan pointed a finger, shattering the void and crushing the Nether Fiend into dust.

The technique passed down by the Sovereign was also ferocious and boundless. Though it was only at the first level now, it already possessed such power. Lin Fan eagerly anticipated raising it to the highest level in the future.

"Heavenly Sword, go."

The Heavenly Sword, condensed from sword intent, carried supreme sword intent, tearing through the void and piercing the Nether Fiend to death.

"Ding, congratulations on killing a high-stage Divine Entry Nether Fiend."

"Ding, congratulations on killing a mid-stage Divine Entry Nether Fiend."

...

The prompts of experience came incessantly, and Lin Fan was overjoyed. Leveling up was all about this feeling.

At this moment, like a wolf among sheep, Lin Fan hacked at anyone he saw.

One axe, one sword, one finger—the coordination was flawless; these dark fiends were like fish on a chopping block,任由 Lin Fan slaughtering them.

"Who else..." At this moment, Lin Fan domineeringly stepped on a dark fiend, his aura leaking as he gazed ahead at the few remaining dark fiends.

When he first entered here, Lin Fan almost pissed his pants, but he never expected these dark fiends to be so useless—one axe each, without even a chance to resist, simply weaklings.

Looking at the struggling dark fiend under his foot, Lin Fan unhesitatingly smashed its head with his axe.

Lin Fan puffed out his chest and looked at the remaining dark fiends, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "You bunch of dark fiends, if you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistakes, or else I'll show you what I'm capable of."

At this moment, Lin Fan was showing off to his heart's content; in his eyes, the lives of these dark fiends were already in his grasp.

Lin Fan possessed multiple top-tier techniques with terrifying power, and what was even more shameless was that when he struck, he often unleashed several techniques at once, leaving no time for hesitation.

"Hmph, since you don't appreciate my kindness, then let me show you the most terrifying technique in the world." Lin Fan put the Eternal Axe into his backpack and cracked his knuckles.

The divine skill "Reverse the Course of Events" had not been used for a long time; now he would practice it on these dark fiends.

"Haha..." Lin Fan laughed loudly and plunged into the midst of the dark fiends.

"Reverse the Course of Events."

Lin Fan grabbed a dark fiend, and under the gaze of its pitch-black eyes, his hand seemed to shatter layers of void as it struck the target.

"Ding, congratulations, experience increased by 1."

"Huh?" Lin Fan's expression changed at this moment, his heart feeling like ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping.

This "Reverse the Course of Events" no longer granted experience.

The disciples possessed by dark fiends felt no pain, nor did they notice any changes; they could not feel pain.

"Waste..."

Lin Fan cast a sidelong glance, attributing all the blame to the dark fiends. He extended a finger, and the "Flower-Touching, Willow-Caressing Finger" was instantly activated, shattering the dark fiend's body.

"Ding, congratulations on killing a middle-rank Divine-Entry Nether Fiend."

"You have all been possessed by Nether Fiends. As your elder, I naturally cannot allow you to live in such disgrace. I will now grant you release." Lin Fan no longer intended to experiment; these Nether Fiends were utterly useless.

They weren't even good for farming experience. What use were they?

"Heavenly Sword."

A longsword formed of sword intent shuttled through the void, slaying all these Nether Fiends.

Lin Fan restrained his aura and then looked at the last ancient altar.

The runes on that ancient altar were still in operation, emitting a sacred aura. Lin Fan thought there should be another Nether Fiend inside.

But Lin Fan hesitated, wondering whether to release it and kill it.

However, Lin Fan also thought: if this Nether Fiend was too powerful and he couldn't handle it, wouldn't he be screwed?

After some deliberation, Lin Fan decided to retreat.

If the Nether Fiend was too weak, killing it or not didn't matter anyway.

If the Nether Fiend was too powerful and he couldn't defeat it after releasing it, he would be done for.

Thus, releasing it or not brought him little benefit.

Then Lin Fan prepared to leave without looking back. But just as he reached the cave entrance, a gloomy voice came from behind.

"Stop..."

Hearing the voice, Lin Fan's heart trembled. Without even looking, he turned and ran outside.

But just as he was about to move, a stone door blocked his way.

Lin Fan punched fiercely, trying to shatter the stone door, but was knocked back several steps.

"You cannot leave." The voice came again from behind.

Lin Fan turned around and saw streams of black qi flowing slowly from the corpses possessed by Nether Fiends toward the only ancient altar ahead.

The voice came from within that altar.

The black qi coiled around the flickering runes, as if struggling against them.

Lin Fan swallowed nervously, his heart tense, but he couldn't panic now.

"Heaven values life. I spare you out of pity for your hard cultivation. Do not squander this chance." Lin Fan's eyes were sharp, speaking without fear.

As if in Lin Fan's eyes, this ancient altar was no more than an ant.

But for Lin Fan, this was bound to be a disaster. He knew better than anyone who was stronger.

His system wasn't for nothing; it had a detection function. What was now displayed on the ancient altar was:

"Small Heaven Rank, Initial Stage."

If it were only that, Lin Fan wouldn't be afraid. But the key was that the strength was rising too fast; it had already reached Small Heaven Rank, Middle Stage.

And it hadn't stopped; the cultivation base was slowly rising, with no end in sight.

"Ten thousand monks sealed me for a thousand years, tormenting me day and night. You will be my first sacrifice upon breaking the seal." The voice from the altar came again, chilling Lin Fan's heart.

"Fight to the death."

At this moment, Lin Fan's expression turned cold. Strike while the iron is hot.

Eternal Axe, Heavenly Sword, One Finger Annihilation...

"Haha, not bad, not bad. I didn't expect my first sacrifice to be so powerful."

Lin Fan erupted with full force, but before the ancient altar, a black barrier suddenly formed, blocking all his attacks.

Even the Eternal Axe couldn't split it.

At this moment, Lin Fan was truly panicked.
