Chapter 439: The Final Battle, Commence! (Part 1)
Chapter 439: The Final Battle, Commence! (Part 1)
2024-05-05
In the mountains, time passes unnoticed, and years slip away unnoticed.
Amidst everyone's bustling activities, over three years have quietly slipped by.
Lin Fan's strength has grown tremendously!
He has utilized all the treasures he found in various ways, whether refining pills, crafting peculiar objects, or even consuming them directly!
Barrett has also undergone a significant improvement.
The numerous incarnations and clones, having gathered materials from various places, have mostly been 'eaten' by Barrett.
The quality remains that of an 'Imperial Armament', but the disparity between Imperial Armaments is also immense!
In Lin Fan's opinion, Barrett's current state has surpassed that of the Barrett held by Garlin Bodhisattva.
At the very least, its quality surpasses that of the former.
Moreover, Barrett now possesses an additional 'Power Accumulation' function.
With a single power-accumulated strike, if executed with full force, even an Apex Cultivator would need to be cautious. A moment of carelessness could result in a swift demise in the northwest.
The enhancements in other aspects are also extraordinary.
As the time left before the deadline draws closer, the atmosphere throughout the Multiverse Abyss becomes increasingly somber and tense.
It's not just those surrounding the World Heart who feel this way; others do as well.
After all, more than half of the five-year period has passed, leaving only about half a year remaining.
At this point, except for those who came in and have been lying low ever since, others have made decent gains, to a greater or lesser extent.
However...
If one chooses to lie low and do nothing, why bother coming here at all?
In theory, such people shouldn't exist.
And that's why...
At this juncture, it can be said that almost everyone possesses valuable treasures.
Consequently, those who choose to hunt down others to 'get rich' are the most active during this final stretch!
The strong prey on the weak.
The weak hide and dodge, hoping to survive until the end...
Unlike in 'battle royale' games, where players often hide and wait for the right moment, or go all out once they get well-equipped, in the Multiverse Abyss, the initial approach is often bold and aggressive, and as the deadline approaches, more people choose to lie low.
As for the area near the World Heart...
The atmosphere is even more intense.
The number of people has increased by nearly fifty percent since the beginning, now exceeding one thousand five hundred.
Even though they have been vigilant and cautious, trying to avoid detection.
But they themselves are an extremely conspicuous target!
Despite their constant vigilance and discretion, never proactively revealing information to anyone, more and more people are drawn to this place, naturally expecting a share of the spoils.
Not to mention, Lin Zi Xiao and her companion are spreading the news everywhere.
Therefore, Lin Fan has no doubt that the number of participants in the final struggle will exceed two thousand!
As for who will be the ultimate winner...
That remains to be seen after the battle.
It's worth mentioning that Xu Wei Yi has been incredibly lucky.
She had given up hope of surviving the twelve tribulations and ascending to the immortal realm, but within the Multiverse Abyss, she discovered a Twin Lotus!
This is a renowned immortal elixir!
Consuming it bestows numerous benefits, and most significantly, it greatly enhances resistance to the Loose Cultivator Tribulation.
Without the Twin Lotus, she saw no glimmer of hope.
But after taking it, she can't help but feel a glimmer of anticipation.
However, whether she will succeed is uncertain.
Moreover...
The prerequisite is returning safely.
If she can't even make it back, she won't have the chance to undergo the tribulation!
...
The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive.
Everyone has put away their smiles.
Unlike the initial jovial atmosphere, even inviting others to drink, the mood has completely changed.
Everyone is on guard, quietly retreating.
The closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes!
Everyone knows this.
But...
When will it start?
There's no signal.
They can't predict it.
...
Deep underground.
Lin Fan's Blood Sea Clone narrows his eyes.
"Interesting."
"Time is running out, the atmosphere is getting heavier, but few are eager to jump into action."
"Are they really waiting until the last moment?"
"But how can they?"
"If they wait until the last moment, how can I execute my plan?"
His eyes gleam with an idea: "I need to give them a taste of intensity and pressure."
Immediately, he creates another Blood Sea Clone, which takes a detour away from the underground and then returns...
Subsequently, in the guise of a stranger, he feigns surprise.
"What?"
"So many layers of seals?!"
"This..."
"Aren't we starting yet?"
"If we keep delaying, time will only increase, and even breaking these seals will take considerable time!"
"Moreover, the innermost seal is too formidable. If time is short, and he doesn't break it..."
"How can others possibly succeed?"
"???"
The first person to seal it immediately panics and jumps out, angrily saying: "Kid, who are you? Why are you badmouthing us? Do you want to get us killed?!"
"Even if I have some skill in sealing, do you think I can hold off all of you alone?"
He wants to explain.
But he finds everyone staring at him, so he changes his words: "I do have some skill in sealing, but can I really hold off all of you alone?"
"When the time comes, if I can't break the seal, you can kill me first, and then work together to break it!"
"Do you think my seal can hold off all of you? That's preposterous!"
Upon hearing this, most people secretly nod.
The old man's words carry some reason.
His sealing skills are strong, but they can't hold off everyone.
The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Lin Fan, "Brat, what are your intentions for tricking me like this?"
"Could it be some sort of conspiracy?"
"Me?"
Lin Fan chuckled, "I merely had everyone's best interests in mind, how could I have any ill intentions?"
"Besides, your seal alone can't hold back everyone, but what if several sealing masters worked together?"
"Even if we can't stop everyone, as long as you can buy us some time, we can accomplish a lot!"
"After all..."
"I heard that the Six Crown King and the Three Crown King can work together, so why can't you?"
"???"
The moment these words were spoken.
The old man's face turned green instantly.
If he had a chance to explain himself earlier, but now, it was as if his words were a death sentence.
It was as if he was asking for his life!
Explain?
Even if he explained, it would be useless!
Perhaps... my life is over!
"Brat, I'll make you pay for your nonsense!"
He roared and attacked Lin Fan, but at the same time, he said, "Fellow cultivators, don't listen to his gibberish!"
"He must have ulterior motives, wanting to trap and kill us!"
"As for the sealing technique, I'll undo it right now."
"We must not let this scheming brat deceive us!"
The crowd: "..."
No one spoke.
They just watched quietly.
But their thoughts were crystal clear.
They knew who should be killed and who should not. When it came to those who should be killed, they knew the best time to strike. They had calculated everything clearly.
And the old man was also well aware of this, which was why he hated Lin Fan to the core.
At this moment, he chased after Lin Fan with murderous intent.
He wanted to devour his flesh and skin!
But Lin Fan remained calm, and even turned around, saying calmly, "Old man, I think you're trying to take this opportunity to escape, hide, and wait for the final moment, right?"
The crowd: "..."
The old man: "???"
You're basically asking me to die right now!
His eyes turned red instantly, "You thief, I'll never let you off, not under the same sky!"
"Fellow cultivator, you should stay."
"I believe he makes sense."
Someone stepped forward, stopping the old man who was almost crazed with the desire to kill Lin Fan. His gaze was calm, "If you escape, it will cause us some trouble."
"If you don't have such intentions, stay, and let everyone watch over you. Wouldn't that be better?"
The old man: "..."
"Good!"
He gritted his teeth, "Fellow cultivators, not only will I stay, but I'll also immediately undo the seal to prove my innocence."
"Perhaps... someone wants to use this to trap me!"
"Fellow cultivators, please don't overthink it, and give me a chance to prove myself."
The crowd's gazes were calm.
Their thoughts were unknown, but their expressions were more amiable than the others: "Of course."
"We naturally believe you."
"Please?"
They smiled and spoke.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he still had a glimmer of hope...
Suddenly, a hidden space on his chest split open.
In his bewildered gaze, a unique hidden weapon emerged, instantly blocking the person who had stopped him. Then...
Boom!
An intense explosion and scorching heat erupted simultaneously, tearing through space in an instant, forming a black hole that devoured the person.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
It was too fast for anyone to see clearly, and the black hole disappeared.
Only the lingering heat remained, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
But the old man...
What the hell just happened?!
What's going on here?!
He didn't know exactly what had occurred.
But at this moment, he realized...
He was done for!
This was like finding gold in your pants, but then sitting on it, turning it into shit!
"Listen to my explanation!"
He quickly raised his hand, indicating that he could explain.
However...
No one believed him.
"He must have planned this all along!"
"What an impressive hidden weapon."
"That fellow cultivator was no weaker than him, yet he was killed in one strike, vanishing without a trace... This old man is ruthless!"
"Quick, everyone, let's join forces and subdue him!"
"Kill!"
At this moment...
The rest didn't matter.
In fact, it was admirable that they had remained calm for so long.
When someone made a move, it was like lighting a fuse, and a battle naturally erupted.
"It wasn't me!"
The old man roared and ran, activating all his defensive measures to the extreme.
But it was all in vain.
There were too many people!
As the first to make a move, he naturally became the primary target, and a round of 'bombardment'...
He was instantly destroyed, leaving no trace behind.
Although the all-out battle hadn't started immediately, the crowd revealed their murderous intent.
"Quickly undo the seal!"
"Regardless of whose seal or what kind of seal, undo it immediately!"
"Whoever doesn't undo the seal..."
"Kill!"
Everyone was in a hurry.
At this critical juncture, no one could remain calm.
After waiting for so long, they had even given up on seeking treasures outside, all for this final battle.
At this very moment, no matter who it was, if anyone wanted to cause trouble or deprive them of this chance to fight with all their might, they would fight to the bitter end!
And those who had set up the seals naturally had the same idea.
So, just as they had sealed quickly before, now they unsealed even faster.
In less than an hour, the seals were successfully lifted, one by one.
Only the final seal, the 'Past and Present Ban', remained, but the old man who had set it was already slain by their combined efforts, leaving no one capable of undoing this restriction.
However, the group was not concerned about this; in fact, they welcomed it.
Because once all the seals were broken, it would signify the eruption of an all-out battle.
And at this moment...
The existence of this final seal was like the last number in a countdown.
As long as the last seal remained...
Breaking it was not an issue at all.
Even if technical means couldn't solve it, with so many people here, a single drop of saliva from each person would be enough to forcefully blast it open.
Therefore, this wasn't the main concern; it was just the final 'slogan'.
Just waiting...
For the moment it would be broken.
They looked at each other, increasing the distance between them, each on guard.
Until...
Suddenly, the last seal exploded with a loud blast!
Boom!
Everyone acted simultaneously, but not against those around them, nor out of spite. Instead, they targeted the person closest to the World Heart.
"Damn!"
Those closest to it felt their scalp go numb and jumped back in retreat.
At that moment, the cultivators who prided themselves on their speed rushed out, intending to use their superior velocity to grab the World Heart and flee.
However...
They had clearly not anticipated that others shared the same idea, and even more so, that there was always someone faster.
In their respective worlds, they were the fastest, and they had thought it would be difficult to find a match in the Multiverse Abyss.
But when the experts made their move, they were all left dumbfounded.
Their once-proud speed seemed insignificant here.
Even worse...
Those who knew their speed wasn't sufficient had prepared in advance. While their movement speed wasn't exceptional, their attack speed was unparalleled!
As soon as these swift cultivators showed themselves, they realized someone was even faster...
Even the fastest among them didn't have time to touch the World Heart before they were instantly hit by a barrage of attacks!
Those with sufficient strength managed to survive.
Those slightly weaker were instantly torn apart, their divine souls shattered!
"..."
"Ridiculous!"
Someone scoffed.
"You thought you could steal from us?"
Buzz!
"Exactly!"
Another person's eyes lit up, locking onto the seemingly empty void: "I'm talking about you."
"What, did you really think no one would notice?"
"Not good!"
The cultivator's expression changed instantly, and he turned to flee.
He had intended to use his unparalleled secret technique to stay hidden near the World Heart and then take it, but he was discovered from such a distance. Those eyes were impossible to evade!
"Damn it!"
He roared.
Boom!
The cultivator was blasted into ashes...
After that, others tried various methods, all attempting to quietly take the World Heart.
But they all failed!
They were discovered immediately and then surrounded and attacked.
There was no way to stop it! After all, not everyone had the strength of a Triple Crown Sovereign or a Supreme Crown King. Even if they gave it their all, they couldn't withstand a round of frenzied bombardment.
This made everyone more cautious.
One of them said grimly, "It seems the only way is to fight and kill. The final winner will be the one who survives this battle!"
"Let's end this quickly!"
"Otherwise, we don't know how many more people our battle will attract. By the time we're done, others might have already taken the prize!"
"Indeed..."
Lin Fan waved his hand, dressing the two of them.
Gu Xinglian nodded, "Okay."
"But..."
"Don't overthink it."
"Between you and me..."
Lin Fan scratched his head, "Whatever you say."
"But, you're not pregnant, are you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Xinglian's face changed slightly, "How is that possible?"
"..."
Lin Fan had thought it wouldn't be so dramatic.
But your big reaction made it hard for me not to overthink.
He sighed helplessly, spreading his hands, "Anyway, everything can be discussed. No matter what happens next, whether you think this is just a transaction or for self-preservation, you and I won't become enemies."
"Also, you must promise me!"
Lin Fan spoke seriously, "We both have mouths. Whatever we want to say, we must speak it out, and face-to-face!"
"If there are any misunderstandings, don't keep them bottled up. We must talk it out!"
"I hate people who don't speak up, from the start of the misunderstanding to the damn ending."
"Lin Fan spoke, but he couldn't help but complain. Such a plot, it's just too absurd!"
"The female lead running away with a pregnancy, I can still understand that, but this kind of 'misunderstanding' is truly infuriating."
"It's so cliche, it could kill someone!"
"And the worst part is, they're not even mute, yet they both treat me like one..."
"This setup, it's just too much!"
Lin Fan wasn't a god, and he didn't know what would happen next, but the more he looked at Gu Xinglian, the more he felt something was off. She seemed like those female leads in romance novels."
"There's a high chance of some misunderstanding."
"I must give her a warning first."
"Otherwise, I'll have trouble later."
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Gu Xinglian tidied her hair and slightly frowned, "Your words..."
"It seems like there's a hidden meaning?
