Chapter 495: This Radiance, This Bearing, Unrivaled Under Heaven.

"How dare you, how dare you speak to me like that. Anyone who dares speak to me in such a manner has already been devoured by me. And you, a mere Sword Clan brat, dare to be insolent before me. Truly, you've grown tired of living." The Ancient Clan chiliarch's face twisted savagely, his fierce gaze as if it would devour Lin Fan.

"I'm no Sword Clan member, but a Human. Not everyone who wields a sword is from the Sword Clan, you idiot." Lin Fan said calmly, looking at the Ancient Clan member in the void, not taking him seriously at all.

Middle stage of the Azure Heaven realm.

Admittedly, this strength was formidable, but to Lin Fan now, it was nothing to fear. Though it might be somewhat troublesome, that depended on the situation.

"Human... haha, that ant race that has been hiding like a turtle for ten thousand years. Utterly ridiculous." The Ancient Clan chiliarch scoffed disdainfully, then his face turned cold. "You killed our Ancient Clan brethren. Today, you stay."

"Heh, anyone can bluster. If you've got the guts, come at me. Use all your skills, so you won't regret it when you die." Lin Fan sneered, beckoning provocatively at the Ancient Clan chiliarch.

"Hmph, killing you doesn't require a butcher's knife." The Ancient Clan chiliarch's expression hardened, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from within him.

"Mountain Shatter!"

In an instant, the Ancient Clan chiliarch's body transformed into a long rainbow, charging at Lin Fan.

"Be careful..." Li Tianquan warned in alarm at the sight.

"Ant-like Human, I, the chiliarch, will crush you into pieces!" The Ancient Clan chiliarch roared, his entire body enveloped in a pitch-black light, tearing through the void.

A series of sonic booms resounded through heaven and earth.

"Ha, a head-on collision? You're just asking for humiliation." Lin Fan laughed at the Ancient Clan chiliarch's attack method, then bellowed, launching himself upward to collide with the chiliarch.

"Haha, a frail Human dares to match the Ancient Clan in physical strength? You don't know your limits!" The Ancient Clan myriarch mocked, as if witnessing an earth-shattering joke.

The Ancient Clan's physical bodies were naturally powerful, and through continuous growth, they reached an inconceivable level.

Even the Vajra Realm people, renowned among the myriad races for their physical bodies, had to admire the Ancient Clan's innate, indestructible physique.

For instance, one of the former Eight Supremes, 'Eternal,' had his body severed into several pieces yet still lived, each piece containing consciousness.

Even Lin Fan had not yet reached such a level.

One could say it was unfathomable.

However, Lin Fan did not take the physical body of this Ancient Clan chiliarch seriously.

"Eternal Indestructibility" had been upgraded by Lin Fan into an extremely powerful physical cultivation method. Cultivated to the extreme, its wonders were endless—how could it compare to the likes of this insignificant Ancient Clan member?

"You're seeking death." Lin Fan sneered. The "Blood Sea Demon Art" instantly activated, his blood energy surging, the vast blood energy permeating his entire body, emitting a red glow.

Boom!

A thunderous sound erupted.

"How is this possible..." The Ancient Clan chiliarch had thought he had this Human in the bag, but upon contact, he was horrified to find that the Human was like a massive mountain, with a force of a thousand jun, unstoppable, crashing into him.

Bang!

Under Lin Fan's overwhelmingly powerful impact, the Ancient Clan chiliarch's body deformed, his chest caved in, and a mouthful of foul blood spurted out.

"You, a Human, how can you have such a powerful body? Impossible, absolutely impossible..." The Ancient Clan chiliarch's heavy body crashed to the ground, his eyes filled with shock.

He couldn't believe that a Human could be so strong, that even the Ancient Clan's proud physical body was no match for this Human.

"Hmph, trying to compete in physical strength with me is like showing off your axe before Lu Ban." Lin Fan sneered after his successful strike.

The power of "Eternal Indestructibility" was not limited to this; combined with the "Blood Sea Demon Art," it was truly unrivaled.

Cultivated to its peak, even relying solely on his physical body, Lin Fan was confident he could smash this world to pieces.

Li Tianquan was utterly stunned by this scene. He found it hard to believe that among the myriad races, someone could surpass the Ancient Clan in physical strength.

This was simply terrifying!

In the Star Realm, Li Tianquan had been a dominant overlord, always cultivating star techniques. Among them, some techniques drew upon star power to strengthen the body, but even so, they could never match the Ancient Clan's innate physical strength.

Yet now, someone could compete with the Ancient Clan's physique. How astonishing!

"How did he train?" Li Tianquan looked at Lin Fan, standing there radiant and dazzling, filled with doubt.

Though the path of physical cultivation was immensely powerful, the suffering it entailed was unbearable for ordinary people.

Li Tianquan had once seen a man who cultivated his body, only to have his flesh rot midway, his mind collapse, and eventually die in agony.

"Senior Brother, he's so strong." The three junior brothers, watching this Human who had saved them suppress the Ancient Clan, were also deeply shocked.

At the same time, joy filled their hearts, for it meant they were saved and wouldn't die here.

The two female disciples of the Star Pavilion, watching the radiant Lin Fan, were deeply enchanted.

The collision of bodies just now stirred ripples in their hearts.

In their eyes, Lin Fan was so manly, so domineering, so powerful.

...

"Bastard! You despicable wretch! You've reduced me to this! I'll tear you limb from limb!" The Ancient Clan chiliarch roared, his caved-in chest suddenly bulging back to normal.

"Detestable Human, you have thoroughly enraged me, the chiliarch. Today, I'll show you that the Ancient Clan is not to be trifled with."

In an instant, a gloomy aura erupted from his body.

A bead shot out from the Ancient Clan member.

The moment the bead flew out, Lin Fan's brow furrowed slightly.

Not because the bead was powerful, but because its aura was very strange. Lin Fan had been exploring true artifact forging, so he was sensitive to this aura.

"This is a treasure. How could an Ancient Clan chiliarch possess a true treasure?" Li Tianquan's mind shook violently at the sight of the bead, his face turning deathly pale.

"Be careful! That bead in the Ancient Clan's hand is very powerful!" Li Tianquan shouted.

"Haha, so you recognize its power. Let me tell you, the reason the myriad races cannot forge true treasures is that the Heavenly Will of the Ancient Sacred Realm protects the Ancient Clan. The junk you forge is nothing but trash in our eyes." The Ancient Clan chiliarch laughed wildly.

"Hehe, this bead in my hand was forged from the resentment of nine hundred and ninety-nine members of the myriad races. And you, Human, will become the thousandth. This Soul-Devouring Demon Bead will truly transform! Haha..."

...

Lin Fan's heart tightened. What the hell did this mean?

True treasures—could they be the things in the Ancient Clan's hands?

And if the myriad races couldn't forge them, was it really because of the Heavenly Will of the Ancient Sacred Realm?

But if that were the case, what about my 'Demon City' and 'Soaring Sky'?

"Forget it, never mind. Let's suppress him first."
