Chapter 436: The Dominant Six-Time Champion! The World Heart Changes Hands (Part 2)

The Ultimate Demon Sovereign stopped thinking about killing and chose a direction, charging forward!

This way, no one could stop his advance.

But the others didn't want to let him go, and they all followed from a distance...

When the Ultimate Demon Sovereign turned around, they ran.

When he wanted to flee, they tailed him from behind.

It was infuriating.

······

"You..."

Xu Wei Yi sighed bitterly, "Why go to such lengths for us?"

"Alas!"

In the end, she could only sigh silently, unable to bring herself to blame Lin Fan.

Although she had dedicated her life to a single cause, she wasn't brainless, and she certainly wouldn't say something as foolish as this.

Why would he risk his life to save me?

If you wanted to die, you could have just smashed your head or self-destructed.

So, Xu Wei Yi felt more self-blame.

Just to save me and Star Mother Gu, he lost the World Heart.

This deal...

wasn't very profitable.

If she had known this would happen, it would have been better to fight to the death to stop the Ultimate Demon Sovereign. Even dying in battle would have been preferable.

"If something is lost, we can always find or take it back."

"But once life is lost, it's truly gone."

Lin Fan didn't seem to mind and merely comforted her, "Nothing is more important than staying alive."

Xu Wei Yi could only nod helplessly.

Star Mother Gu remained silent.

However, her expression was complicated.

For a moment, she couldn't quite understand if Lin Fan was doing this just for her or if he would do the same for any teammate.

This made her feel agitated and confused.

······

Soon after, Lin Zi Xiao and Ji Chu Tong joined them.

They had been lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike, but fortunately, their timing was impeccable, and they went unnoticed. At this moment, everyone's attention was on the Ultimate Demon Sovereign, so naturally, no one would cause them trouble.

As the five reunited, Lin Zi Xiao spoke up, "So, what's the plan now?"

Lin Fan spread his hands, "What else can it be?"

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

Lin Zi Xiao smiled, "Yes, I did."

But in her heart, she thought...

I don't believe you!

I clearly saw you pause for a moment before it was taken.

It even looked like you walked right into it and got robbed.

And you're telling me it's real?

It's probably fake, right? However, since the other party was a fellow countryman, Lin Zi Xiao didn't find it surprising.

Speaking of which...

As a fellow countryman, who isn't a bit of a show-off?

Even if they're not a genius, they're at least a local talent.

"What's the next step? What are you planning?"

Lin Zi Xiao quickly changed the subject, no longer questioning the truth but asking about the future.

"We'll help with what we can, but if it's too dangerous or complicated, we're powerless."

"For example, if you ask us to deal with the Ultimate Demon Sovereign, we can't do that."

"After all..."

"He's cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, while we've only cultivated for a short twenty to thirty years."

"It's not that bad, not that bad."

Lin Fan waved his hand lightly, "My next move is to find a chance to retrieve the World Heart, but directly confronting the Ultimate Demon Sovereign is unwise. I won't ask you to face him either."

"However, I do have a small favor to ask of you."

"What is it?"

Lin Zi Xiao was full of righteousness, "Just say it."

"Let's split up and spread the news that the Ultimate Demon Sovereign has obtained the World Heart. The further and more people know, the better."

"The more people, the muddier the waters."

"With muddy waters, we'll have a chance to fish in troubled waters."

"..."

"Alright!"

Lin Zi Xiao looked deeply at Lin Fan, "Let's part ways here, and may we meet again if fate allows."

Then, she pulled Ji Chu Tong and hurried away.

"This guy..."

"He's definitely not an easy one to deal with."

Lin Zi Xiao sighed lightly.

"Why do you say that?" Ji Chu Tong turned back, "He did it on purpose."

"The World Heart is like a hot potato in his hands. He's gradually realizing the problem. Having this thing is definitely not a good thing!"

"So, he intentionally found a powerful opponent, let them take it, and then..."

"He asked us to spread the news."

"Why would he do that?" Lin Zi Xiao asked.

"Borrowing a knife to kill?"

"Yes, but that's only part of it."

"He's found himself an insurance policy!"

"He's afraid he won't be able to open this insurance policy in the end, so he's borrowing a knife to kill."

"But... the more people, the greater the competition. When the time comes, there will be bloodshed, so how can he be certain that he'll be the ultimate winner?" Ji Chu Tong still didn't understand.

"He can't guarantee it, but by keeping the World Heart in his grasp, can he ensure that he'll be the last one standing?"

"Since neither option is guaranteed, why not choose the one with a lower risk?"

"Moreover..."

"I think his success rate is not low."

"His strength is probably far beyond our imagination!"

Lin Zi Xiao couldn't help but recall the scene from a moment ago when Lin Fan displayed Sword Twenty-Three.

Such a technique...

Even I don't know how to do that!

"Anyway, let's follow his plan. Our mission here is complete. From now on, we don't need to risk our lives. If we come across any benefits, we'll take them. For the remaining time, we can help him as well."

"..."

·····

"Let's follow from a distance."

Lin Fan led the two, staying on the edge of the action without falling behind, always within a million li of the Ultimate Demon Sovereign.

Star Mother Gu and Xu Wei Yi were both healing their injuries.

Half a day later, their wounds were fully recovered.

Through their clear vision, they could see that there were already nearly two hundred people near the Ultimate Demon Sovereign, but even so, they didn't dare to take action.

Instead, the Ultimate Demon Sovereign was slaughtering all around, and the two hundred didn't dare to confront him directly.

At most, they followed behind him, not daring to fight for the World Heart.

The opponent's formidable strength and astonishing influence caused Gu Xinglian and Xu Wei Yi to furrow their brows deeply.

After a long contemplation, Xu Wei Yi spoke softly, "Little Friend, Star Mother, why don't you two leave first?"

"The Ultimate Demon Sovereign is extremely powerful and ruthless. Now, over two hundred people have gathered nearby, yet they still dare not make a move, which proves that his strength is even greater than we imagined."

"Since he has already succeeded, the upcoming battle will undoubtedly be extremely perilous."

"It's better for you to leave first and search for other opportunities and treasures. As for the World's Heart... I'll take care of it."

"If we're lucky, and we succeed in the end, it will be a joyous outcome."

"Even if we fail... I've lived my life striving for this goal. Whether we succeed or not, it's my destiny."

"But Star Mother, the Ten Thousand Flower Holy Land still needs you."

She turned to Gu Xinglian, "As for you, Lin Zixiao, your sect is in a rapid development phase, and your safety is of utmost importance."

Gu Xinglian looked at Lin Zixiao.

The latter couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Immediately, Gu Xinglian also laughed.

"Senior Uncle."

"I understand what you're saying."

"But there's an old saying, 'Since we're here, we might as well give it our all.'"

"How can we know success or failure without giving it our all?"

"So..."

"You don't need to keep persuading me."

"No matter the final outcome, we can accept it."

"After all, the Multiverse Abyss is a perilous place with a slim chance of survival."

"Since I chose to enter, how can I be afraid of death? If I feared death, I wouldn't have come here."

"..." Lin Zixiao raised his hand quietly, "What's that? I'm still quite afraid of death. After all, I haven't lived enough yet, and there are so many wonderful things in the mortal world that I want to experience and discover."

Gu Xinglian was startled.

Xu Wei Yi was also taken aback.

Just as the two of them thought he was about to give up on the World's Heart in the Ultimate Demon Sovereign's hands, they heard Lin Zixiao speak again, "But..."

"I probably won't die that easily."

"Moreover, the plan is already in motion, and others have already entered the game."

"If I were to leave without witnessing the outcome of this game, wouldn't that be a bit ridiculous?"

Gu Xinglian glared at Lin Zixiao.

Xu Wei Yi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "You young people..."

"Sigh."

But suddenly, her eyes lit up, and her tone changed, "This place is dangerous, and the further we go, the more perilous it becomes. There will definitely be a battle that will devastate all life, with blood flowing like rivers!"

"At that time, every bit of strength will bring more safety."

"And a greater chance of success."

"What's that..."

Xu Wei Yi hesitated for a moment, then continued, "As the saying goes, practice makes perfect."

"Since you're already here..."

"Cough, why don't you practice more?"

"Take advantage of the time, practice more, and enhance your strength."

"Lin Zixiao, with your exceptional talent, and Star Mother, with your Yin Essence, if you two practice together, it won't just be twice the result, but tenfold!"

"If the final battle doesn't happen for four years, that's one thousand four hundred and sixty-one days."

"Once a day, that's one thousand four hundred and sixty-one times."

"Practicing together one thousand four hundred and sixty-one times will greatly enhance your strength!"

"And if you're a little more diligent, practicing twice or even three times a day..."

"That's over four thousand times."

"With your physique and talent, even facing the Ultimate Demon Sovereign won't be a problem."

"And if the two of you join forces..."

"Wow~!"

"This is a grand plan!"

Gu Xinglian: "???"

Lin Zixiao: "(ΩДΩ)???"

Damn!

You...

What a bold suggestion!

This proposal is simply...

I thought you were more reserved, but I never expected you to suggest this, let alone practicing three times a day!

How can anyone withstand this...

"Senior Uncle!!!"

Gu Xinglian's face turned red up to her neck, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Xu Wei Yi spoke earnestly, "My words are all true, with evidence to back them up. I believe you understand this in your hearts, but you can't let go of your concerns."

"But for me, this isn't a big deal."

"I'll do whatever it takes to achieve our goal."

"It's a pity I'm not a Yin Essence. Otherwise, without anyone's persuasion, I would practice with Lin Zixiao until the final battle arrives."

Gu Xinglian: "..."

They didn't doubt the authenticity of Xu Wei Yi's words.

But this...

"Cough!"

Gu Xinglian cleared her throat, changing the subject, "The Ultimate Demon Sovereign has left the Sky Gazing Mirror's field of view. Let's catch up."

Lin Zixiao: "..."

"Hey, isn't that a decent treasure over there? I'll go check it out!"

Xu Wei Yi: "Sigh."

"You young people these days, why be so reckless?"

"Practice makes perfect, after all."

"Besides, you two are a perfect match. If it doesn't work out, you can always form a Daoist couple. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Hey, Star Mother, don't run away. Listen to what I have to say."

"..."

Lin Zixiao 'treasure-hunted' while silently contemplating.

"How did things turn out like this?"

"It's just..."

He sighed helplessly, eventually shaking his head with a smile. Meanwhile, he maintained a watchful eye on the activities of the Ultimate Demon Sovereign and the others while engaging in regular treasure hunting.

The Multiverse Abyss was genuinely hazardous, and the treasures were indeed abundant.

A true coexistence of danger and opportunity.

The graveyard of all realms.

Those shattered worlds ultimately converged here.

And after the destruction of almost every world, they would leave behind items of immense value, more or less.

Every ten years, they would sweep through, but they couldn't clean out the Multiverse Abyss entirely.

Lin Fan had casually explored for a few days, and with the enhanced vision of the Sky Gazing Mirror, his harvest was extremely pleasing, even comparable to that of an ordinary top-tier force.

And this was just a standard exploration, not an exceptionally lucky one!

If luck was on his side, one might even find invaluable treasures just by 'stepping out,' more astonishing than the accumulated wealth of a superior force over tens of thousands of years.

"Be cautious."

On this day, Star Mother Gu reminded Lin Fan, "The dangers within the Multiverse Abyss increase with time, especially as we approach the five-year mark."

"Oh?"

"Conflict between people?" Lin Fan guessed.

"Indeed."

"There are too many treasures in the Multiverse Abyss. Even if most of them aren't overly precious, they aren't enough to make one desperate. But when accumulated..."

"As long as one can explore normally for a few years, they will harvest a large number of treasures. Even if each treasure isn't overly valuable, the quantity makes a difference."

"Those who boast of superior strength will start slaughtering others, seizing their spoils of war for themselves."

"After all, it's more satisfying to directly kill and plunder, taking their treasures, resources, and all their gains, rather than searching for each treasure one by one."

"I can imagine," Lin Fan nodded slightly.

But then, he paused, slightly startled.

"So, what do you mean...?"

Star Mother Gu lowered her head slightly, "In these past few days, I've thought a lot. What your great-grandmother said isn't unreasonable."

"Every bit of strength is an added layer of protection."

"But you must not overthink it."

"We're doing this purely to enhance our strength, to ensure our survival, and for our cultivation."

"It's not because I have feelings for you, so between you and me..."

"In any case, don't let your imagination run wild."

Lin Fan: "..."

He scratched his head.

"Well..."

"Can I say no?"

Star Mother Gu: "???"

Say no?!

I'm a Holy Mother, and I've already taken the initiative to bring this up, lowering myself for your sake, and you want to say no?!

Do you really think I'm doing this for my own benefit?

It's for your safety, to enhance your strength!

If it weren't for the fact that I brought you here, and you have such a noble aura, I'd teach you a lesson! Her face darkened, "What do you say?!"

"..."

"It seems I can't," Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

"..."

"Huff, huff, huff..."

The Ultimate Demon Sovereign breathed heavily, his narrowed eyes revealing a chilling glint.

"Bald donkey, you're asking for death!"

"You're the one seeking death!"

Across from him.

A monk was bathed in radiant Buddha light, and behind him, a Buddha's aura hovered in the air, chanting sutras to counter the demon qi unleashed by the Ultimate Demon Sovereign.

The monk spoke calmly, "Demon Lord, your strength is indeed formidable, but only within the last few decades."

"Although I'm just a Triple Crown Sovereign, before my self-proclamation, I've encountered many true heroes, individuals who surpass even you. I've met more than one such person."

"In fact, I once witnessed a Decade Crown Sovereign being slain by a newcomer."

"Therefore..."

"You need not threaten me."

"Today, if you don't hand over the World's Heart, even if you pass my trial, you won't escape the pursuit of the surrounding powerful beings."

"How dare you, who do you think you are, to act so arrogantly before me?!"

"To dare to point fingers at me, you're asking for death!"

The Ultimate Demon Sovereign raged.

Boom!

His clothes fluttered as he unleashed a torrent of demon qi in an instant, transforming the surroundings into a sinister and terrifying demon realm.

He had assumed these people's strengths were inferior to his own.

So, at most, they would be a nuisance, and they would continue to harass him until he left.

But he never expected a Triple Crown Sovereign to suddenly appear!

A Triple Crown Sovereign who had achieved this status before him, and then used the 'Divine Source' he found in the Multiverse Abyss to proclaim himself.

No one knew how many tens of thousands of years had passed since his self-proclamation!

He waited until the Divine Source was exhausted before reappearing, and then he entered the Multiverse Abyss once more...

The Ultimate Demon Sovereign realized that while this opponent's strength might not surpass his own, they still possessed around eighty percent of his combat prowess.

If they truly fought, he might win, but it wouldn't be easy.

There were over four hundred petty beings surrounding them.

He knew that today, it would be difficult to resolve things peacefully.

Either he would have to kill this bald donkey and assertively slay many of the surrounding beings, ensuring a period of tranquility.

Or...

The grand battle might have to commence earlier than expected.

This was intolerable to him.

"Bald donkey, die!"

"Amitabha Buddha."

The two clashed in a fierce battle.

A Triple Crown Sovereign and a Six Crown King displayed their invincible prowess within a short time.

The surrounding powerful beings, unwilling to leave, prepared to take advantage of the chaos, their expressions changed, and they scrambled to flee.

Fearing they wouldn't escape in time.
