Chapter 596: An Unprecedented Cave Heaven

Boom!

Ten thunder deities stood within the cave heaven, looking down upon the world, their cold, emotionless eyes fixed firmly on Lin Fan.

"What are you looking at? If you're not convinced, let's fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Lin Fan roared, his aura reaching its peak.

This cave heaven tribulation was closely tied to the will of the Ancient Sage Realm, so it surely wouldn't let him pass so easily.

These final ten thunder beings were definitely going to destroy him utterly.

The Thunder Taming Dharma King was enveloped in Buddha nature, his expression serene, but his eyes were fierce, his hands entwined with thunder as he followed behind Lin Fan.

The spirit of Big Bro, too, had put away his lecherous grin, but his lecherous aura was still fully on display, emanating at all times.

Long Xuan and Xi Guang held hands, their expressions grave; they knew this was the final ordeal.

If they passed, it would be a new world; if they failed, they would perish, body and soul reduced to ashes.

"Master, all techniques emerge from the same origin; one thought can destroy all things, invincible in the world."

At that moment, Lin Fan's battle intent blazed high, condensing into a solid form, gathering into a deity of war.

"Come on." Lin Fan's eyes were sharp; from nothingness, he unleashed all the techniques he had learned, a powerful aura sweeping everything away.

At this moment, Lin Fan was like an invincible war god, slaying all, fearless.

Boom!

The ten thunder deities roared, transforming into coarse thunderbolts, then merging together, a massive bolt of thunder descending from the sky like a dragon, snarling and roaring.

Lin Fan rose with dominance, extending a finger—a plain finger, yet one that contained everything.

Though it was just a finger, within it were all the martial deities.

A full-force strike, destroying all.

Crack!

The moment it collided with the thunder deities, the cave heaven shook violently, powerful thunder spreading out, countless bolts of thunder splitting into tiny serpentine threads, writhing, then wrapping around Lin Fan like blooming flowers.

The Thunder Taming Dharma King slowly closed his eyes, condensing into a crystal; within the crystal, he sat cross-legged, as if undergoing destruction and rebirth.

The spirit of Big Bro also slowly closed his eyes, his body cracking, then a mist enveloped him, condensing into a crystal.

All the martial deities, under the power of this thunder, had reached a state of saturation, undergoing nirvana; life or death was placed in Lin Fan's hands.

"Damn it, now I'm alone again," Lin Fan thought, knowing they were undergoing transformation, and whether it succeeded depended on him.

If he passed, they lived; if not, they died.

"Kun Peng's Breath!"

In an instant, a Kun Peng phantom appeared behind Lin Fan, solidifying into a real form.

With one open mouth, it swallowed mountains and rivers.

All ten thunder deities were swallowed into Lin Fan's belly.

At that moment, Lin Fan's expression changed drastically; thunder coiled inside him, destroying his body.

Crack!

Lin Fan's body seemed unable to withstand this immense power, cracking open; every wound flashed with thunder, crackling.

"Gather the world's primordial energy into one body."

A vortex suddenly appeared above Lin Fan's head, vast spiritual energy pouring in, surging with dharma power to resist.

The Blood Sea Demon Art was now operating at its limit, destruction and repair alternating.

But gradually, Lin Fan's expression grew worse; these ten thunder deities were too powerful, destroying all dharma power, even shattering the source of dharma power in every cell.

If this continued, even 'rebirth from a drop of blood' would be useless.

"System, why aren't you saving me? Do you really want me dead?" Lin Fan roared, at his wit's end.

The cave heaven tribulation he faced was not something a human could endure.

Or perhaps it could be called the first cave heaven tribulation of the Ancient Sage Realm.

Even the eight supreme beings of the ancient clans could never have such a cave heaven tribulation.

Especially these final ten thunder deities, which were more powerful than all the previous tribulations combined.

Lin Fan's roar seemed to break something; the ten rampaging thunder deities suddenly calmed, then roared repeatedly, and a mysterious power burst forth from within Lin Fan.

Bang!

Bang!

...

The immensely powerful ten thunder deities shattered, turning into masses of power that merged into the cave heaven.

"Haha, the system finally acted." Lin Fan laughed, joy on his face.

Lin Fan understood that the system had not acted earlier, wanting him to face it alone, but these final ten thunder deities were beyond human endurance.

Boom!

A violent force exploded.

The world was created anew; everything fell into nothingness.

Lin Fan's consciousness gradually blurred, as if he were in another world.

...

Meanwhile, outside.

Red Cloud Fairy and the others saw the cave heaven suddenly dissipate, their expressions grave.

"What's going on? Why did the cave heaven suddenly disappear?"

"Did he succeed or fail?"

...

Even Red Cloud Fairy, with her vast experience, had never seen such a scene, nor was it recorded in any book.

"Could it be that he failed?" Yun He said, his face dark.

"Probably not. If he failed, the power of the cave heaven tribulation would have exploded, and even hiding in the Water-Fire Secret Realm, we would have been annihilated," Red Cloud Fairy said.

"Then what is this? Where is the cave heaven? Where is he?"

"Let's go out and look."

Everyone quickly flew out of the Water-Fire Secret Realm, searching everywhere, but still found no trace of Lin Fan.

...

A speck of dust is a world.

Now, in the void, a speck of dust invisible to the naked eye floated there.

Lin Fan gradually regained consciousness, looking around, a smile on his lips.

The cave heaven tribulation was over; everything had returned to normal.

Crack!

Sounds of shattering echoed; Lin Fan saw the crystals of the martial deities break open, emerging anew, a powerful aura bursting forth.

A hundred times stronger than before.

"I am the ancient great demon, rightful to sit in the cave heaven's great path."

"I am the Thunder Taming Dharma King, rightful to teach and transform all things in the cave heaven."

"I am the spirit of Big Bro, rightful to sit in the cave heaven's great path."

In an instant, the ancient great demon and the spirit of Big Bro glared at each other, sharp eyes flashing with endless battle intent.

"I, the spirit of Big Bro, am the only one worthy to sit in the cave heaven's great path."

"What are you? I am the ancient great demon; if anyone sits, it should be me."

"Bullshit! I've been with the master the longest, with illustrious achievements; how can you compare?" roared the spirit of Big Bro.

Long Xuan and Xi Guang's auras had also become mysterious and unfathomable, but seeing the argument between the spirit of Big Bro and the ancient great demon, they could only shrug helplessly.

But at that moment, Lin Fan pointed a finger, and an eighteen-layer hell floated out.

This was the domain condensed by Mu Tian, which Lin Fan had later dropped.

Lin Fan struck out with a palm, sending the eighteen-layer hell into the abyss of the cave heaven.

Now Lin Fan's cave heaven had undergone earth-shaking changes, more like a true cave heaven than before.

Lin Fan looked up; deep in the cave heaven, a talisman of ever-changing shape floated in the void.

The cave heaven was now like a world, its will transformed into the Dao; from now on, its wonders would be endless.

But when Lin Fan heard the argument between 'the spirit of Big Bro' and 'the ancient great demon,' his expression changed.

"Stop arguing. I'll decide."
