Chapter 854: One Palm to Annihilate the Enemy

"What?"

Shark-Startled King saw that the cannon blast from the Giant Shark Divine Boat had been split apart by a sword light, and he trembled violently, not knowing what had happened.

But what made Shark-Startled King even more terrified was yet to come.

In the sky, a rift was suddenly torn open, pitch black, and a giant hand descended from the heavens, grabbing all the members of the Giant Shark Clan in one grasp, then squeezing. Blood rained down as they all turned into powder, scattering between heaven and earth.

"Who? Who is it?" Shark-Startled King roared. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen at this critical moment.

The Cloud Sect disciples, who had been ready to die, were utterly dumbfounded by the scene before them.

This was too powerful.

At the same time, everyone harbored a doubt: who was this person?

"You want to destroy my friend's sect? You've got some nerve."

White robes fluttering, a figure with hands clasped behind his back stepped out of the void. His calm expression showed no concern for what lay before him.

"Lin Fan..."

The Cloud Sect Master saw that figure and exclaimed in shock, clearly unable to believe it.

"Long time no see, Sect Master Cloud. But if you hadn't made the sacrifice, I probably wouldn't have known that Cloud Sect was in trouble," Lin Fan said.

And indeed it was so. If the Cloud Sect Master hadn't made the sacrifice, even with Lin Fan's immense power, he wouldn't have sensed it.

It seemed this Ancient Saint Sacrificial Altar wasn't useless after all. Perhaps he could tell his acquaintances that if they ever ran into trouble, they should hurry up and make a sacrifice—it might still be in time.

Among the Cloud Sect members, some didn't know Lin Fan and wondered who he was.

But for Crimson Cloud Fairy and the others, he was as familiar as could be.

"Who is this powerful expert?"

"Yeah, he just saved us. He seems very familiar with the Sect Master. Are we saved?"

"You should all know—he's the Human Emperor."

"What? He's the Human Emperor? The one who can stand against the Ancient Clan Supremes?"

"He's my idol! I never thought I'd see the Human Emperor in my lifetime."

At that moment, the entire Cloud Sect erupted in cheers. To them, they might not know others, but the Human Emperor was someone they knew well.

Because long ago, that live broadcast had left a deep impression on them—he was the only hero who could contend with the Ancient Clan Supremes.

"Who are you?" Shark-Startled King stared warily at Lin Fan, his heart burning with rage.

This guy had just killed countless of his subordinates with one move.

Lin Fan turned his head, looked at the vast giant boat, and then asked with a smile, "One of the ten ancient ferocious beasts, the Giant Shark Clan—when did you pledge allegiance to the Ancient Clan?"

"Hmph, the Giant Shark Clan has always been the most loyal member of the Ancient Clan!" Shark-Startled King declared harshly.

"Since you're a loyal dog of the Ancient Clan, you don't deserve to know who I am. Now die."

For an ant like this, Lin Fan had little interest. He lightly raised his hand and slapped down. In an instant, heaven and earth exploded as a giant palm crushed the void, hurtling toward the Giant Shark Divine Boat.

"How dare you!" Shark-Startled King bellowed, striking his Sea God Scepter. The void surged with towering waves, layer upon layer, crashing toward that palm.

"Anyone who dares to kill members of the Giant Shark Clan will only end in death!" Shark-Startled King roared.

The towering waves churned violently, then transformed into a giant shark. This shark was like a celestial shark, with wings on its back, and it opened a bloody maw.

Bang!

In an instant, Lin Fan's palm grabbed the celestial shark, gave it a light squeeze, and it exploded.

"Impossible! How is this possible?" Shark-Startled King was horrified, his face full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that this guy had destroyed the celestial shark with one palm.

But things were far from over. The palm crushed the celestial shark and continued hurtling toward Shark-Startled King.

A powerful aura burst forth. Shark-Startled King's expression changed drastically, and he raised the Sea God Scepter high, unleashing waves of vast power.

One celestial shark after another emerged ferociously, but under that palm, they shattered like ants.

"Activate the shield!"

Shark-Startled King screamed in panic. The Giant Shark Divine Boat suddenly emitted a glow, and a natural barrier enveloped the entire vessel.

"Damn you!" Shark-Startled King howled in fury.

But suddenly, a cracking sound came.

Shark-Startled King looked up and saw that the barrier was cracking apart under that palm, utterly unable to resist.

"How is this possible? This is the Sea God's Protection!" Shark-Startled King roared in terror. But in the blink of an eye, the barrier shattered, and the Giant Shark Divine Boat was instantly seized in the opponent's grasp.

"Ding, discovered low-grade supreme treasure, Giant Shark Divine Boat."

Lin Fan had thought, judging by the boat's scale, that it might be something precious. But in the end, it was just a low-grade supreme treasure. Boring, truly boring.

Crack!

Lin Fan exerted a little force, and the Giant Shark Divine Boat instantly shattered, releasing bursts of primal power.

Shark-Startled King, seeing the Giant Shark Divine Boat crushed with one grab, was scared out of his wits.

This was a low-grade supreme treasure! Even a cultivator at the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Stage couldn't damage it.

But now, it had been destroyed so effortlessly by this man, which utterly terrified Shark-Startled King.

"Don't kill me! Spare me! Spare me!"

Bang!

"Ding, congratulations on killing Shark-Startled King, a ninth-level Divine Heaven Stage cultivator."

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining low-grade supreme treasure, Sea God Scepter."

...

With just one move, heaven and earth returned to calm.

"Clap, clap!"

Lin Fan patted his hands, looked at the Sea God Scepter in his hand, then tossed it into his cave heaven and handed it to the Ancient Great Demon.

Eating things like this now and then would be good for nourishment.

"Is it over just like that?"

At that moment, everyone stood there dumbfounded. Had that powerful Shark-Startled King died just like that?

And had the vast sea of Giant Shark Clan members been completely annihilated?

Not only the Cloud Sect disciples were shocked, but even the Cloud Sect Master was utterly stunned.

It all felt so unscientific, so unreal.

Lin Fan saw the dazed crowd and smiled lightly. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The Cloud Sect Master swallowed hard, then asked in disbelief, "Just how strong are you now, kid?"

The Cloud Sect Master seemed to recall that when this kid left back then, he wasn't this powerful.

But seeing him now, it was blindingly impressive.

Powerful, truly too powerful.

Maybe he was already at the tenth level of the Divine Heaven Stage?

But even that palm strike just now—even a tenth-level Divine Heaven Stage expert might not be able to withstand it.

"Just so-so," Lin Fan said casually.

Hearing this, the Cloud Sect Master nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
