Chapter 862: Died of Rage

His power grew stronger and stronger.

The bloodline of Shark Ancestor burst forth from his body; a massive phantom of a giant shark bloodline surged up, roaring angrily. On this bloodline, countless fine threads connected to the depths of the void.

These were the branches of the bloodline. Shark Ancestor, as the progenitor of the Giant Shark Clan, was naturally the source of the bloodline.

At that moment, a strange event occurred in countless places.

The Giant Shark Clan dominated this boundless sea. In some places, members of the Giant Shark Clan were committing atrocities, reveling in the terrified expressions of the weak creatures they encountered.

But in an instant, these Giant Shark Clan members let out screams, one after another, and turned into specks of starlight that scattered between heaven and earth.

In that single instant, countless Giant Shark Clan members transformed into starlight and surged toward Shark Ancestor.

"Human Emperor, though you are formidable, I am staking everything of the Giant Shark Clan to fight you to the death. No matter how powerful you are, in the end, you will be buried with us."

At this moment, Lin Fan smiled calmly, not taking it to heart at all.

The light of the Ancient Sacrificial Altar grew increasingly intense, all because the offerings Shark Ancestor had made were truly immense. In the past, with such a clan's sacrifice, even the Ancient Clan's Supreme Being might have descended in person.

Shark Ancestor looked at these points of light, a wild gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Supreme Being, you have broken your word."

Forced to this point, Shark Ancestor had no way back. Originally, he had aligned with the Ancient Clan's Supreme Being, hoping to soar to new heights with their help. But he never expected that, at this critical juncture, the Ancient Clan would abandon him.

Hatred surged like a flood.

And all this hatred was directed at Lin Fan—everything was brought about by this Human Emperor.

If not for the Human Emperor, the Giant Shark Clan would have been a top-tier race the moment the myriad realms opened.

But now, all of this would vanish like smoke.

"Sacrifice!"

"Descend, invincible being!"

Shark Ancestor roared with unwillingness, feeling an immensely powerful force descending from the unseen. A bitter smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Human Emperor, your time of death has come. You forced me to this."

"Can you feel this power? Can you feel this force as vast as the ocean?"

"Haha! Haha..."

Shark Ancestor laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

Boom!

In an instant, a rift tore open between heaven and earth. As the rift appeared, a gate radiating heavenly might stood there.

Behind that gate, some terrifying existence seemed to be hidden.

Gulp!

Ling Wuwei and the others swallowed nervously, sensing a formidable power brewing behind the gate.

This power was overwhelmingly strong, chilling and terrifying.

Feeling this power, Shark Ancestor's despairing heart went wild with frenzy.

In Shark Ancestor's eyes, this immense force was enough to suppress everything.

"Human Emperor, I want you dead, dead without a place to be buried!" Shark Ancestor roared in fury.

Ling Wuwei and the others looked at Lin Fan, unsure of what to do. They had already sensed this power; it was indeed formidable, far beyond what ordinary people could resist.

"Ding, sacrifice complete, beginning descent."

Creak!

Suddenly, the motionless stone gate began to tremble, and a violent, overwhelming force burst forth from the crack in the gate.

"Haha! Come out, come out!" Shark Ancestor had sacrificed his bloodline, his cultivation greatly diminished, and his body was exhausted. But feeling this power, he forced himself to laugh wildly.

Just then, Shark Ancestor suddenly noticed that the Human Emperor ahead had vanished, and he immediately roared.

"Come out, Human Emperor..."

"Come out!" Shark Ancestor bellowed.

He thought the Human Emperor had fled, making all his efforts in vain.

But that sensation just now was strange; he hadn't detected any fluctuation in the void, yet the Human Emperor had simply disappeared.

So where had he gone?

"Shark Ancestor..."

Just then, a familiar voice reached Shark Ancestor's ears.

"Huh!"

Shark Ancestor was startled, then burst into ecstasy. "Human Emperor, your time of death... come... come..."

Initially, upon hearing the voice, Shark Ancestor's entire body trembled with excitement.

But when he saw that figure stepping out from the gate, he was utterly dumbfounded.

"You... how is this possible?"

Shark Ancestor was stunned, his mind churning like a stormy sea; he was completely bewildered.

How could this be...

Ling Wuwei and the hundreds of Spirit Clan members were also stunned. That figure... that figure.

Lin Fan shrugged helplessly. "Shark Ancestor, there's nothing impossible about it."

"Shark Ancestor, you sacrificed me out—is there something you need?"

Lin Fan asked calmly, but inwardly he wanted to laugh.

Shark Ancestor's sacrifice was meant to kill him, but now the one who had been summoned was himself. For Shark Ancestor, this must be an unbearable blow.

Pfft!

Sure enough, at that moment, Shark Ancestor's chest heaved violently, and he couldn't hold back a mouthful of old blood, spitting it out directly.

"How can this be..."

Shark Ancestor was on the verge of madness. What was going on?

He had sacrificed the entire Giant Shark Clan to seek the ultimate power to kill the Human Emperor, yet now the one who emerged was the Human Emperor himself.

This... this...

"Shark Ancestor, I forgot to tell you—everything you sacrificed has come to me." Lin Fan spoke slowly, afraid Shark Ancestor couldn't take it.

Pfft!

Hearing this, Shark Ancestor spat out another mouthful of blood, his trembling finger pointing at Lin Fan.

"You... you..."

"Shark Ancestor, don't get worked up. There's one more thing I haven't told you: your sacrifice was actually made to me, and I am the supreme being you summoned."

Pfft!

Shark Ancestor's body swayed; he was completely dumbfounded, tilting his head back and spitting blood several times.

"Tell me, what do you want to do? Do you want me to kill myself?"

"Sorry, but I can't fulfill that request. Your sacrifice was in vain, but you have to understand, the sacrifice was voluntary, so there's no refund policy."

Lin Fan said calmly, unaware that every word was a blow to Shark Ancestor.

Pfft!

"Why..."

Boom!

At that moment, Shark Ancestor couldn't bear the blow any longer. His blood surged in fury, his brain flooded, and he instantly croaked—died of rage.

Lin Fan watched this scene and sighed helplessly. "I didn't expect it to end so quickly."

In an instant, Lin Fan looked up at the vast ocean. From now on, the Giant Shark Clan, one of the ten ancient ferocious beasts, would no longer exist.

Ling Wuwei and the others stared blankly at Lin Fan.

The impact of all this on them was simply too great.
