Chapter 429 (Part 2)
Chapter 429 (Part 2)
Its exterior wasn't truly a heart, but a yellowish-brown crystal, floating in this man-made 'cave', emitting a yellowish-brown glow.
On its surface, there were numerous cracks, penetrating the entire crystal.
Clearly, it had been damaged.
But even so, the terrifying power it contained was enough to make one's heart race.
"What if this thing suddenly explodes..."
"Will we all die here?"
"Yes!" Lin Zi Xiao took a deep look at the World Heart: "We can't use it, but it can still be a decent weapon."
"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for wasting such a treasure?" Lin Fan joked.
"So, it's up to you."
"We will rush over after obtaining the Foundation of Heavenly Dao, but whether we can make it in time, or whether you can hold on until then..."
"It's up to you."
"I understand, but it's difficult."
Lin Fan sighed lightly: "This thing can't be stored in a storage bag, even my personal space can't handle it, it will burst. I can only hold it in my hand."
"Unfortunately, the energy it contains is too terrifying to be sealed."
"It's like holding a ticking time bomb in your hand."
He wanted to complain.
Holding this thing in his hand was like holding a time bomb.
"Unless I can instantly take it away, it doesn't resist, and I leave before anyone else arrives, then I can use the Sky Gazing Mirror to avoid others and leave."
"Otherwise, I might really get killed."
"Indeed." Lin Zi Xiao nodded: "So, you need to prepare in advance. At the moment the Foundation of Heavenly Dao disappears, you must act immediately. Whether it succeeds or not, it's up to fate."
"After all, if we rush over, perhaps others might have arrived too."
"It doesn't mean they can help you much."
"It's fine." Lin Fan smiled: "At least I have the advantage of being close by. If I can't even handle this, then it's just not meant to be."
"You guys go ahead, I need to start preparing too."
"Okay!"
"..."
Lin Zi Xiao and the others left.
But Lin Fan took a look at the corpses around.
Then, he smiled.
"Corpses..."
"They're also good things, can't miss out."
He quietly formed hand seals, summoning the Great Dao Vessel: "Suck them dry!"
Most of the corpses instantly changed.
Even if their cultivation realms might have been higher than Lin Fan's in their lifetime, but that was their lifetime. After so many years, their divine nature had been constantly dissipating, and with only their corpses left, unable to resist, it was natural for them to 'go with the flow'.
A large amount of Primordial Energy was absorbed by the Great Dao Vessel and then transferred to Lin Fan's true body.
But at the same time...
Among the lifelike corpses, three of them suddenly burst into action, attacking Lin Fan!
Dong!
Lin Fan, who was prepared, fought back, using the Kunpeng Technique to repel all three of them.
The Great Dao Vessel continued to devour.
These three, however, didn't move an inch. They perfectly controlled their own Primordial Energy to prevent being devoured, and at the same time, their faces turned ugly: "How did you discover us?"
"The secret technique we three cultivate, even if a True Immortal descended, they wouldn't be able to find any clues!"
The three formed a triangular formation around Lin Fan, not rushing to attack, but instead, they formed hand seals, brewing a special technique, and asked the reason.
"You guys are really good at hiding!"
"I didn't find you."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
The secret technique of these three was truly impressive!
Even Wu Ji Jie had been deceived, not making a sound to warn them.
But after so many years of being cautious with Fan Jian Qiang, he had become extremely careful.
"But, everyone knows that the bodies of strong cultivators are 'treasures'."
"Whether it's taking them back, absorbing their Primordial Energy, or even if demon cultivators use them for some messy business, it's all possible."
"So..."
"With so many corpses, why are they left here?"
"You guys are quite smart too, even deliberately arranging some older corpses to make the scene look perfect. Too bad, even the best plans have flaws."
"So that's how it is."
All three of them smiled: "Indeed, even the best plans have flaws."
"Fortunately, it's no problem. You're already a dead man."
"..."
"You guys are pretty confident."
Lin Fan sighed: "I know you're stalling for time, but do you really think I'm that stupid?"
The three's faces changed slightly.
"You're also stalling for time?!"
"Correct, but no reward."
"I'm just a temporary incarnation, gone when I'm gone." Lin Fan smiled: "My true body has already run far away. As for this World Heart, tsk, you guys can fight over it with the others."
"Damn it!"
One of them became enraged and attacked.
Dong!
Their combined attack was indeed powerful, instantly blasting Lin Fan's Immortal Petal Incarnation.
But...
This directly proved that Lin Fan was telling the truth.
"This person is so cautious, no, this is not just caution, this is cowardice!"
"Absolutely cowardly!"
The three were speechless!
"Don't worry.
"He escaped, so be it."
"But at least, now that those two women have taken that thing called the Foundation of Heavenly Dao, this World Heart will no longer be unmovable."
"We'll keep an eye on it here, and as soon as there's any change, we'll try to take the World Heart."
"Also, those two women... if we get the chance, we'll kill them."
"That Foundation of Heavenly Dao is probably a good thing."
The other two nodded in unison: "Of course, something named after the Heavenly Dao can't be ordinary. Perhaps it's even more precious than the World Heart!"
Both found this reasoning very reasonable.
Soon after, the three of them surrounded the World Heart, quietly waiting.
But none of them noticed a single speck of dust that was different from the rest.
After about half an hour, there was still no movement.
They confirmed that Lin Fan had fled, so they gradually relaxed.
But at that moment, a speck of dust suddenly 'exploded'.
Instantly, a black hole appeared behind one of them.
His strength was formidable, and he had never let his guard down, so his reaction was swift. He tried to escape, but the terrifying suction rendered all his methods useless!
Even the light was devoured at that moment.
And he found himself right in the center of the black hole.
Even with all his might, he couldn't escape, and he was slowly being pulled in.
The other two wanted to rescue him, but it was already too late.
Boom! Finally, a sound emerged.
But at the same time, the black hole and the person it had swallowed vanished instantly.
"Where is he?!"
"You... you're still here?!"
Both of them sensed Lin Fan's aura: "You're deceiving us?!"
"..."
Lin Fan appeared, spreading his hands: "Fair's fair, weren't you deceiving me before? And pretending to be a corpse?"
He was speechless.
You're allowed to deceive me with a corpse, but I can't use the Thousand Transformations Technique and Seventy-Two Transformations to deceive you?
It's a fair trade, but you make it seem like I've betrayed your emotions.
Pfft!
His true body had never left and hadn't separated from his clone.
He had merely transformed into a speck of dust, which had fallen into a corner as he entered the cave.
Just a speck of dust, no one would pay attention.
Then, a series of deceptions led to this moment, using the Black Hole Fist to eliminate one person.
As for escaping...
That's a joke.
This is the closest opportunity and timing to get the World Heart. Missing this chance would almost certainly make it impossible.
Even if they wanted to give up, it wasn't the right time.
"As for where he went, I don't know either."
"I can only say that randomly discarding trash is wrong."
Lin Fan spread his hands.
Is the opponent dead? He didn't know.
But it's highly likely they're still alive.
The suction and tearing force of the Black Hole Fist were strong, but it probably couldn't handle a cultivator of that level. The opponent was a Seventh Tribulation Loose Immortal, so the suction wouldn't directly finish them.
But after being swallowed by the black hole, where would they end up...
Lin Fan truly didn't know.
He hadn't been swallowed by one before!
The Earth side hadn't figured out what was inside a black hole either~
Wang Teng, the developer of the Black Hole Fist, was equally clueless.
But...
This was definitely a skill for banishing enemies.
Once something was swallowed, the opponent would be instantly thrown into an unknown place.
But it might be 'randomly discarding trash', and these words weren't just empty talk or for show.
Because, if the other end of the black hole was a randomly opened spatial rift... then, the person swallowed by the black hole would likely be directly thrown into that space and world...
That would be trash, right?
"Fine, fine, kid, you're asking for death!"
The remaining two were furious and immediately attacked to kill Lin Fan.
Their strength was formidable.
Both were Ninth Tribulation Loose Immortals.
Far surpassing the power of an ordinary Apex Cultivator.
But Lin Fan wasn't afraid. Was he just an ordinary Apex Cultivator?
The battle erupted instantly!
However, the three of them had excellent teamwork and restraint. Despite the battle, there was no excessive aftermath.
The consequence of this was the 'backlash' of the battle, which demanded even higher strength and control.
They didn't even use those techniques with significant effects, instead resembling three martial arts masters fighting at the Purple Forbidden Summit.
The two opponents were filled with killing intent, eager to take Lin Fan down immediately.
As Loose Immortals, their strength far surpassed ordinary Apex Cultivators. Logically, taking Lin Fan down should have been easy.
But after engaging, they found themselves outclassed!
This kid before them was not only slippery but also terrifyingly strong! They tried various methods—physical body, soul, secret techniques...
It was still two against one.
Yet, all their efforts were ineffective against Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's physical strength even surpassed theirs.
His soul strength was no weaker, and when they launched a soul attack together, not only did Lin Fan block it, but he also counterattacked, causing their souls to tremble and ache, nearly making them roll their eyes.
A physical clash?
But Lin Fan's punches made their entire bodies ache.
"Damn it."
"Who exactly are you?"
"With such strength, you're no ordinary cultivator!"
The two were enraged and startled, already considering retreat.
It was impossible for them to give up on the World Heart, but they could retreat for now, call for reinforcements, and then devise a plan to strike!
Lin Fan: "..."
In truth, Lin Fan was puzzled.
Because these two were a bit weak.
Logically, the combat strength of a Sixth Tribulation Scatter Immortal should surpass the 'Apex' category.
In other words, under normal circumstances, a Sixth Tribulation Scatter Immortal should be stronger than most Ninth Stage Cultivators.
These two, being Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortals, should possess the strength of a True Immortal's peak, or even surpass it by a Great Realm! It was for this reason that Lin Fan had previously chosen to temporarily avoid confrontation and launch a surprise attack to eliminate one of them before engaging the others.
However, after their confrontation, he discovered...
These two were just so-so?
Their strength was probably similar to what Gu Xinglian had displayed when Lin Fan fought her earlier.
But wait a minute!
Could Gu Xinglian handle a Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortal with her bare hands?
As the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Flowers, she was incredibly strong, which Lin Fan could understand and accept.
But you two, as Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortals, are a bit too weak, aren't you?
Initially, Gu Xinglian had said that she had held back some of her strength. So...
These two were Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortals, yet their strength was inferior to Gu Xinglian's?
Were they hiding their strength, or was there some conspiracy at play?
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he became instantly cautious.
"No time to waste, we must fight quickly and decisively. We can't afford to delay any longer."
"Whether they're hiding their strength or using 'incarnations' or 'clones,' or if there's some conspiracy involved, we'll deal with it later!"
Lin Fan made up his mind.
At this moment, he couldn't afford to worry about anything else.
Who knew how long Lin Zi Xiao would take to gather the Foundation of Heavenly Dao? He had to deal with the immediate problem first.
"You're pretending to be dead? Then I'll turn you into real corpses!"
Buzz...
Lin Fan's eyes glowed with a red light.
The Otherworldly God ability was instantly activated! Simultaneously, a multicolored light shone from his right hand as he engaged the other opponent.
Both being Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortals, they had extensive knowledge and experience.
Whether it was illusions or those peculiar secret techniques, they had seen it all and had their own defensive measures, so they didn't pay it too much attention and continued to fight normally.
It wasn't that they were careless; they had the confidence! They had encountered similar tactics countless times before.
But...
They had underestimated Lin Fan, and they had also underestimated those abilities.
Buzz...
The Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortal, facing Lin Fan, suddenly felt his mind go blank before quickly regaining his senses.
Seeing Lin Fan dodge to the left, without hesitation, he unleashed his strongest killing move towards the left! And the person hit by "Love's Horse Chicken" instantly began to convulse...
It felt incredibly satisfying.
His expression became dazed.
Fortunately, his consciousness remained clear.
With his Divine Soul Strength, he could still hold on.
But at this moment... having a clear consciousness was even more deadly.
Damn! I'm fighting someone!
And he's a man!
We're fighting to the death!
Suddenly, I'm flying?
I can't even stop it!
He gritted his teeth, enduring the floating sensation throughout his body, and continued to attack...
All of this happened in an instant.
He didn't know what had happened, but he knew he had to take Lin Fan down!
But suddenly...
His good brother on the right suddenly launched an ambush, punching him in the waist and using his most powerful killing secret technique. His body trembled, turned soft, and felt like he was floating...
"What are you doing?!"
Before he could understand,
Boom!!!
His brother's fist landed on his waist, and he couldn't stop it.
"Hmm?!"
The opponent's expression changed drastically: "How is it you?!"
In that instant, both were stunned.
But Lin Fan didn't give them a chance. Having waited for the right moment, he launched an ambush, and in an instant, he took down both of them, their souls completely obliterated.
"Success!"
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As he used the Dao Treasure Vase to devour their Primordial Energy, he frowned: "But they don't seem like incarnations or clones."
"I didn't detect any other conspiracies either."
"Could it be..."
"Is this their true strength?"
"..."
Lin Fan blinked: "Such weak Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortals?"
"Could it be that their World Tier is low, so the gap between realms is so significant?"
"Hmm..."
"It must be."
"I don't believe the Immortal Martial Continent's Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortals could be this weak."
He felt his reasoning was sound.
Ninth Tribulation Scatter Immortals, sigh! Each time they faced the Scatter Immortal Tribulation, it was a life-or-death situation. How could they be so weak after surviving nine Scatter Immortal Tribulations? And with the Scatter Immortal Tribulation, each step was like ascending to heaven, with strength increasing exponentially.
Therefore...
Their World Tier must be too low, which was why they were so weak!
Yes, Lin Fan's assumption made sense.
It wasn't Lin Fan's fault for making this assumption.
After all, he felt these two were genuinely weak, guessing that their strength was probably similar to his own Ninth Stage fourth or fifth level after sharing his disciples' cultivation...
Now?
If he fought without holding back, he might not even need to share his disciples' cultivation; he could take them down single-handedly.
"Lin Fan."
Suddenly, Wu Ji Jie warned: "The World Membrane is starting to dissipate."
"?!"
Lin Fan's expression turned serious: "Have they succeeded?"
Whoosh!
He reached for the World Heart, but in that instant, he forced himself to stop, just a hair's breadth away.
"I can't put it in my storage bag, and carrying it in my hand would be too conspicuous."
"What if I put it inside the Dao Treasure Vase?"
