Chapter 436: The Enemy Is Too Strong, I Can Only Help So Much

Lin Fan saw who it was, never expecting it to be her. Without hesitation, he instantly stowed the arm into his backpack.

The right arm torn off by Eternity was also regrowing.

Eternity, sensing the loss of connection with the arm, roared at the sky and glared at the newcomer. "You're still alive."

"If you're not dead, how could I die..." Ni Feixue was covered in blood, with a gaping hole in her abdomen, flesh and blood a horrifying sight.

Now Ni Feixue held a longsword in her hand.

Lin Fan recognized the sword—wasn't it the giant sword from beneath the Mystic Sword Pavilion? How did it end up in Ni Feixue's hands?

"This sword again... Damn it..." Eternity's expression changed drastically at the sight of the sword, seeming greatly wary.

"Haha, Eternity, back then the Sovereign and the War God used this sword and the Eternal Axe to sever your body. Are you afraid?" Ni Feixue said with a bitter laugh.

"Bastard, afraid of you? Now you're just a wisp of consciousness. Do you think you can match me?" Eternity was thoroughly enraged, ignoring his severed right hand and throwing a punch.

Ni Feixue did not resist; everything was already settled.

"Lin Fan, you must not let him fuse again." Ni Feixue ignored Eternity's punch and looked at Lin Fan, as if placing all her hope on him.

"Boom..."

With a single punch, heaven and earth shattered. Under that blow, Ni Feixue was utterly annihilated, not even her wisp of consciousness remaining.

The longsword turned into a streak of light, flying into the distance and vanishing from sight.

Lin Fan watched it all, sighing inwardly. What the hell was all this?

What exactly did these upper-realm beings want?

"Human, give me back my arm." Eternity glared at Lin Fan, irritated by these ants.

"Eternity, are you stupid? Do you think I'd return it?" Lin Fan sneered disdainfully, his mind racing for a way to defeat Eternity.

His physical body was only at the 'Indestructible Initial Stage.' Though Eternity's power was less than one percent of its prime, it was still more than Lin Fan could handle.

To win, he had to hold out until his physical body leveled up.

"Eternity, come on! I'm not afraid of you!" Lin Fan took a deep breath and charged at Eternity again.

"You're asking for death." Eternity roared in fury and threw a punch.

"Boom..."

"Ding, congratulations! Eternity Indestructible experience increased by 500 million."

"Fuck you, is that all you've got?" Lin Fan wiped the blood from his mouth. The Blood of the Heavens within him was now boiling fiercely.

The Parasol Tree provided powerful life force, pouring violently into Lin Fan's body.

The ninth level of the Blood Sea Demon Art erupted fully, surging blood energy flowing through every part of Lin Fan's body.

"Boom..."

"Ding, congratulations! Eternity Indestructible experience increased by 500 million."

"Ding, congratulations! Eternity Indestructible experience increased by 500 million."

...

Repelled again and again, he charged forward again and again.

Lin Fan knew cultivation was not easy, and the stronger one became, the heavier the burden.

It was never as easy as he had imagined.

In the distance, Chick saw the figure being repeatedly knocked back. With a furious cry, it flapped its wings and charged at Eternity. For Chick, bullying his big brother meant a fight to the death.

Lin Fan finally understood Eternity's terror. Each punch was undiminished in power, and Eternity seemed to grow stronger, as if slowly recovering its strength.

He had been using Eternity to train his body, but Eternity was also using him to regain its former power.

Just then, a red light shot from afar.

"Hmph, a mere descendant of a phoenix dares to act recklessly with me? You're asking for death." Eternity sneered, reaching out with a palm to grab Chick.

"Chick, get the hell back! Are you disobeying me? If you don't listen, I won't want you anymore!" Lin Fan's face changed drastically as he roared.

Chick, charging at Eternity, was filled with boundless rage. Hearing Lin Fan's words, it froze, as if stunned in midair.

"Get out of the way!" Lin Fan was completely panicked. "Eternity, your opponent is me!"

"Hmph, no rush..." Eternity wasn't stupid. Seeing the human's panic, it knew this phoenix chick was something he cared about.

"Chick..."

Then Chick reacted, but it was too late.

Eternity's sky-covering hand grabbed Chick.

Lin Fan, about to charge forward, stopped, his heart pounding.

"Eternity, let him go." Lin Fan told himself not to panic. Chick was a phoenix; it couldn't die.

"Human, are you stupid? Do you think I can't see how important this phoenix is to you?" Eternity said, looking at Lin Fan.

"Humans are such complicated ants. You want to become supreme, yet you're held back by all sorts of nonsense. Dreaming of becoming supreme like this is pure fantasy."

"Give me back my arm, or this phoenix..." Eternity sneered as Chick cried out in pain.

"Stop!" Lin Fan's heart lurched at Chick's cry. He immediately raised his hand, signaling Eternity to wait.

Chick was already crying from the pain.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." Chick shook its little head, looking at Lin Fan, as if saying, "It hurts, but Chick isn't afraid."

"Chick, don't..."

Just then, Chick, held in Eternity's hand, suddenly burst into flames. Within the flames, a phoenix phantom soared into the sky.

"Phoenix涅槃? Haha, I've killed countless phoenixes. Do you think a little chick like you can succeed?" Eternity sneered, pinching its fingers. The flame-wrapped Chick screamed in agony, and the flames vanished.

"My patience is limited. Give me back my arm." Eternity said coldly.

"Let it go first." Lin Fan's breathing quickened.

"Huh? Do you have the right to bargain with me?" Eternity snorted angrily, torturing Chick in its palm.

But Chick closed its eyes, enduring the pain without crying out.

Lin Fan's heart was torn, two voices echoing in his mind.

"Give it back. Chick has been with you for years, like family. How can you let it die?"

"Can't give it back. If you do, Dongling Continent is doomed. And he won't let Chick go anyway."

...

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." Chick crowed then.

Lin Fan looked at Chick and saw it shaking its head, signaling him not to worry.

Lin Fan lowered his head, his eyes blurry. "Chick, I won't abandon you."

He had made up his mind: save Chick, then be refined together with Eternity in the Heavenly Furnace.

He had lived his life, had his fun, had a wife—what more could he want?

"Fine, I'll give it." He looked up, meeting Eternity's gaze.

"Haha, good!" Eternity laughed loudly.

Just then, a voice came from the void.

"One fart settles the universe."

"Pfft..."

In an instant, sand flew and stones rolled; heaven and earth turned bleak.

Hearing that voice and seeing the familiar scene, Lin Fan's heart leaped with joy.

The yellow mist instantly enveloped Eternity.

"What is this? It stinks so badly!" Eternity's face changed drastically, unable to withstand the gas. The hand holding Chick loosened.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Fan vanished and grabbed Chick, pouring life force into it, then threw it into the distance. "Sect Leader, catch!"

"I am the Fart God Yao Wuxie! Let go of that roast chicken, you thief!" In the distance, a figure stood imposingly, satisfied with the effect of his fart.

"Bastard..." Eternity snapped back and grabbed the figure.

"You dare humiliate me like this? Die!" Eternity roared.

Lin Fan was dumbfounded. What the hell? He had just saved Chick, and now Yao Wuxie, that idiot, was caught too.

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

Then, something left Lin Fan stunned.

Yao Wuxie, caught in Eternity's hand, kept farting, and the force of the farts actually pried open Eternity's grip.

"This..." Lin Fan could hardly believe it.

After breaking free, Yao Wuxie immediately fled into the distance.

"Brother Lin, the enemy is too strong. I can only help so much. The rest is up to you. I'm out!" In an instant, Yao Wuxie's figure vanished between heaven and earth.

"Still such a coward." Lin Fan watched Yao Wuxie leave and smiled gratefully.
