Chapter 948: Take Another Strike

"Human Emperor, you are indeed capable. If you split the divine treasures you obtained with me, from now on, I, the Thunder Clan Ancestor, will never trouble you."

This Human Emperor was far too cunning, having escaped from their many supreme experts multiple times.

Now that he had come alone, the Thunder Clan Ancestor was not confident he could keep the Human Emperor here.

What puzzled the Thunder Clan Ancestor was what abilities the Human Emperor possessed. Though his cultivation was clearly weaker than theirs, he could still escape from their grasp—truly astonishing.

"Thunder Clan Ancestor, your hopes will likely be dashed. I have already refined all the divine treasures and integrated them into my cave heaven," Lin Fan said.

"Impossible. Even we could not refine so many divine treasures in such a short time," the Thunder Clan Ancestor said.

"Believe it or not, that's the truth," Lin Fan said.

The Thunder Clan Ancestor was furious, feeling that the Human Emperor was not cooperating at all.

"Very well, then cut your cave heaven in half and give it to me," the Thunder Clan Ancestor said.

Hearing this, Lin Fan exploded with anger. Was this guy out of his mind to say such a thing?

"Did you skip your meds? Did that thought even pass through your brain?" Lin Fan was utterly speechless. How brain-dead did one have to be to say something like that?

"Human Emperor, does that mean you refuse?" The Thunder Clan Ancestor's expression darkened, his robes fluttering with a rustling sound, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Lin Fan looked up at the void. "Thunder Clan Ancestor, stop pretending. When you appeared, you were already setting up a deadly formation to trap me here. After all this nonsense, I assume the formation is complete."

While the Thunder Clan Ancestor was wasting time with him, Lin Fan had already sensed strands of thunderous power filling the void, sealing off all directions and completely cutting off time and space.

How could the Thunder Clan Ancestor actually negotiate with him? With his methods, he naturally wanted to devour all the divine treasures.

"I didn't expect you to notice," the Thunder Clan Ancestor sneered. "Since you know, why didn't you run?"

The Thunder Clan Ancestor hadn't expected the Human Emperor to be aware of his formation setup—quite unexpected.

"No need," Lin Fan shrugged. "Before, you were tough and I couldn't beat you. But times have changed; it's not like you think."

"Are you alone today?" Lin Fan asked.

"What? Do you think I alone cannot suppress you?" The Thunder Clan Ancestor sneered, wondering if the Human Emperor had lost his mind.

Lin Fan smiled. Before, when his strength wasn't sufficient, he could only flee from the Thunder Clan Ancestor. But now, things were different.

In a one-on-one fight, Lin Fan had a hundred ways to screw this guy over.

"Heh."

Suddenly, Lin Fan appeared before the Thunder Clan Ancestor. "Need I say more? You alone want to suppress me? Dream on."

"You're asking for death!" The Thunder Clan Ancestor roared, thrusting his hands forward. Thunderous power surged like giant dragons, crashing toward Lin Fan.

"Heh." Lin Fan sneered, throwing a punch without taking the Thunder Clan Ancestor's attack seriously.

Bang!

"Ah!"

In an instant, a scream rang out.

The Thunder Clan Ancestor's face was covered in blood, and then he exploded, looking utterly miserable.

"How is this possible?"

The Thunder Clan Ancestor roared in disbelief. His attack had clearly struck the Human Emperor, yet it caused no damage.

Instead, the Human Emperor's punch had sent his internal mana into turmoil, and blood burst from his face.

"How does that feel?" That punch had felt amazing to Lin Fan, especially seeing the Thunder Clan Ancestor's wretched state.

"You..." The Thunder Clan Ancestor couldn't believe that the Human Emperor's strength had increased so rapidly, far beyond his expectations.

"Thunder Clan Ancestor, I am no longer what I was. Since you want to fight today, I'll accompany you!" Lin Fan roared, and a ten-thousand-zhang beam of light pierced the heavens and earth.

"Today, no one leaves. Only the living walk out."

Lin Fan also sealed the heavens and earth, completely cutting off all escape routes.

Now, there were only two outcomes.

Either Lin Fan died, or the Thunder Clan Ancestor died.

Apart from these two, there was no other choice.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, the Thunder Clan Ancestor was enraged. "Human Emperor, you are courting death!"

"Primordial Thunder!"

Boom!

Suddenly, the void trembled violently. The Thunder Clan Ancestor roared, and an aura of thunder dominating before the world was born burst forth.

Thunder filled the void, but this was no ordinary thunder—it was the Thunder Clan Ancestor's very origin.

"Ancient Divine Thunder, Power of Creation!"

In an instant, the Thunder Clan Ancestor opened his hand, five fingers forming claws. A terrifying force brewed within his grasp, coalescing into a thunder dragon.

This thunder dragon was immense, coiling upward, its thunderous maw unleashing a vast power.

"Well met!"

Lin Fan was fearless. Now at the middle stage of the Ancient Realm, he had comprehended the divine abilities of the Great Sage and Pangu the Primordial.

He clenched his fist, his aura calm, seemingly ordinary.

But this single punch contained a destructive force.

Whoosh!

Lin Fan stepped forward, his form flickering as he instantly used 'A Step Across the Horizon.' "Thunder Clan Ancestor, since you came to me today, die here!"

"Hmph, insolent!" The Thunder Clan Ancestor hadn't expected the Human Emperor's strength to have risen to such a level. He then spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and the violent thunder dragon became even more ferocious.

Boom!

The two forces collided. But at that moment, Lin Fan grabbed the thunder dragon with one hand, stomped down, and unleashed a punch brimming with terrifying power.

The Thunder Clan Ancestor was startled, his form flickering as a divine artifact burst forth, directly suppressing Lin Fan.

"Damn it, what opportunities has this guy encountered? The power he's unleashing is at the peak of the Ancient Realm—utterly baffling."

Clang!

Lin Fan's fist clashed with the Thunder Clan Ancestor's divine artifact, creating a storm of power.

"I didn't expect the Thunder Clan Ancestor to have such a treasure. His foundation is deep indeed."

Lin Fan felt the force of his punch completely rebound, and his expression shifted slightly. The Eternal Axe appeared in his hand instantly.

"Thunder Clan Ancestor, take this strike!"
