Chapter 490: You're Not Up to It Anymore

"Ding, congratulations on the upgrade of 'Eternal Indestructibility'."

"Ding, 'Eternal Indestructibility' level 15."

"Ding, physical strength: Earth Heaven rank high-level."

...

Lin Fan was slapped away by the giant. Wiping the corner of his mouth, he was overjoyed. After a long period of mutual pounding, his physical strength had finally upgraded.

And every time the giant clashed with Lin Fan, Lin Fan would take the opportunity to blast it apart, after which it would reassemble again.

"Haha, little stone man, how about it? Scared by your young master?" Lin Fan stood up, laughing loudly.

As for how long he had been fighting, Lin Fan couldn't remember clearly. Anyway, it had taken too long—probably a day and a night.

"You may leave." Just then, the heavy voice of the Earth Spirit Long River swept over again.

But this time it wasn't challenging Lin Fan; it was telling him to leave.

A hole suddenly appeared in the cave ceiling above, leading straight to the surface.

The Earth Spirit Long River didn't want to say anything more. This human was too detestable—he couldn't be killed no matter what.

"You want me to leave?" Lin Fan lightly brushed his long hair, feeling quite elegant.

He hadn't expected the Earth Spirit Long River to actually back down.

"Human, leave this place," said the Earth Spirit Long River.

"Not leaving... even if I die, I won't leave." Lin Fan chuckled. Now wanting the young master to leave was nothing but a pipe dream.

"What exactly do you want?" The Earth Spirit Long River, born from heaven and earth, had long possessed intelligence.

"I want you." Lin Fan said with a faint smile, his eyes flickering with desire.

Such a treasure—how could he not collect it? Originally, Lin Fan had been wondering how to take the Earth Spirit Long River, but now hearing that it had backed down, he was overjoyed.

Then the only possibility was that the Earth Spirit Long River was worried about something.

"Human, don't be insolent. I'm letting you off not because I fear you, but because you can't do anything to me," said the Earth Spirit Long River.

"You are afraid of me," Lin Fan said.

"Haha, you're dreaming. I am an Earth Spirit, born from heaven and earth, a primordial spirit. Would I fear you?" retorted the Earth Spirit Long River.

"Then why tell me to leave? Let's keep wasting time. Anyway, I'm being hunted, so I don't care." Lin Fan shrugged, shamelessly.

This time, Lin Fan had tasted the sweetness.

Although he hadn't obtained the Earth Spirit Long River yet, staying here had allowed his physical strength to rise.

This feeling was truly wonderful.

The Earth Spirit Giant's cultivation was at Azure Heaven rank mid-level, while his own physical strength was only at Earth Heaven rank high-level—there was still a big gap to close. So Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry; he would take his time.

Let's see who outlasts whom.

The 'Blood Sea Demon Art' was a heaven-defying technique, repairing the body and removing all injuries.

And with the Parasol Tree providing an endless supply of life force, it was even more heaven-defying. Slowly consuming like this, Lin Fan didn't believe he couldn't outlast the Earth Spirit Long River.

"You..." The Earth Spirit Long River was speechless. This human was too insolent. He was a primordial Earth Spirit, yet this human dared to be greedy and want to possess him.

Roar!

The Earth Spirit Giant roared at Lin Fan, a yellow light flickering in its hollow eyes, as if enraged by this human's insolence and refusal to leave.

"What are you roaring about? Keep fighting..." Lin Fan flicked his sleeve and charged at the Earth Spirit Giant again.

He wanted to see what the Earth Spirit Long River was worried about.

Under normal circumstances, someone like him would be considered an intruder, and the Earth Spirit Long River had wanted to kill him earlier. But now it wanted him to leave—there must be something it feared.

For Lin Fan, time was the least of his concerns.

He would just keep grinding to see what was making the Earth Spirit Long River voluntarily ask him to leave.

The Earth Spirit Giant's fist, full of power, came whooshing in, the entire space seeming to twist under that punch.

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 800 experience for 'Eternal Indestructibility'."

Just as expected!

After the physical upgrade, the experience from each punch of the Earth Spirit Giant had decreased, but for Lin Fan, it was just right. He had all the time in the world to slowly grind.

For a loafer like the young master, time was the least valuable thing.

In Lin Fan's view, staying here was more comfortable than staying above ground.

The Earth Spirit Long River floated quietly in the void, watching this detestable human, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Boom!

The cave shook violently. Lin Fan and the Earth Spirit Giant exchanged blows, fighting fiercely.

The Earth Spirit Giant punched, and Lin Fan did a three-sixty spin in the air, then smashed the giant's head with a single move.

"Hehe, you punch me, and the young master smashes your head. Let's see how many times you can revive." A smile curled at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth.

This Earth Spirit Giant was tailor-made for him.

But if it were an ordinary person, without the 'Blood Sea Demon Art' or the Parasol Tree, facing the giant's endless revivals, they would definitely exhaust themselves.

Roar!

The Earth Spirit Giant roared, its body reassembling again.

Lin Fan activated the 'Blood Sea Demon Art', and the injuries in his body instantly healed.

"Boom..."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 800 experience for 'Eternal Indestructibility'."

"Little stone, give it all you've got. The young master can still take it." Lin Fan shouted, getting more and more into the fight.

Day and night reversed.

Stuck in this cave, Lin Fan didn't know how much time had passed.

But it had definitely been a long time.

Lin Fan had been punched no less than a hundred times.

And this Earth Spirit Giant had been smashed to pieces a hundred times, roaring angrily each time it reassembled.

The giant's ability was somewhat similar to blood drop重生, but he didn't know if each reassembly consumed power.

"Human, you deserve to die..." The Earth Spirit Giant was furious now. Why couldn't this human be killed?

Every punch that landed, he thought the opponent would die, but soon after, this human would stand up again as good as new.

This scene had repeated countless times.

"Boom..."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 800 experience for 'Eternal Indestructibility'."

"Ding, congratulations on the upgrade of 'Eternal Indestructibility'."

"Ding, 'Eternal Indestructibility' level 16."

"Ding, physical strength: Earth Heaven rank great perfection realm."

"Oh wow, holy crap, a big breakthrough!" Lin Fan had thought this upgrade wouldn't raise his physical rank, but unexpectedly it did.

Earth Heaven rank great perfection realm.

"Haha..." Lin Fan laughed wildly. This time he had hit the jackpot. A single cave had allowed his physical rank to rise—where else could he find such an opportunity?

This Earth Spirit Giant, though looking dumb, was quite persistent. Admirable, admirable.

"Little stone, come try the power of the young master's body." Lin Fan laughed, then charged fiercely at the Earth Spirit Giant.

"Boom..."

Rocks flew everywhere. The Earth Spirit Giant instantly collapsed, turning into a pile of stones.

"Come on, reassemble, let's keep going." Lin Fan had nothing else to do and wasn't in a hurry to leave. He would just keep grinding to see who outlasted whom.

Clatter!

Just then, a shocking scene occurred. The boulders tried to combine, but as soon as they did, they immediately collapsed again.

As if there was no power to support them.

...

"Earth Spirit Long River, are you done?" Lin Fan looked up at the Earth Spirit Long River floating in the void.

Earth Spirit Long River: "..."
