Chapter 480: Astonishing Battle Power! Divine Origin, An Unworthy Auction (Part 1)
Chapter 480: Astonishing Battle Power! Divine Origin, An Unworthy Auction (Part 1)
November 15, 2024
How fast were Sun Wutong and the others?
It was only a brief delay, and they had already lost their target. At this moment, even if Lin Fan no longer obstructed them, they could only rely on luck.
Moreover...
Lin Fan was still obstructing them!
"Damn it!"
"You deserve to die!"
"Let's kill this damn dog first!"
Their eyes turned red with anger.
They swore to kill Lin Fan first.
"Surround and kill him!"
At this moment, all fifteen Golden Immortals hated Lin Fan to the core.
"You're not letting us chase them, right?"
"Fine, we won't chase them. Let's kill you first!"
The fifteen Golden Immortals immediately closed in, surrounding Lin Fan to finish him off.
"Oh dear..."
"Why go to such lengths?"
Lin Fan's face showed a forced smile, "I'm just slightly obstructing you on my senior brother's behalf. Why the need to be so ruthless?"
"Why not..."
"I'll just retreat now, okay?"
The group was so furious that their brains were about to explode, "..."
How dare you treat us like this?!
You can block us and leave whenever you want?!
Who do you think we are?
Where in the world is there such an easy task?
"Stop the chatter!"
"Kill him!"
The fifteen Golden Immortals, filled with hatred, unleashed their ultimate moves, surrounding and attacking Lin Fan.
Attacks came from all directions, and Lin Fan was shocked and terrified, "This is too much! You're going too far! Oh my god!"
He seemed terrified, his eyes wide with fear.
But no one noticed that Lin Fan's eyes were quietly glowing red.
Rumble!!!
Amidst the relentless attacks, Lin Fan's defense was quickly breached, and he vanished into ashes.
"You're asking for death!!!"
One of the Golden Immortals cursed.
"What bad luck!"
Another Golden Immortal spat in disgust.
More Golden Immortals felt discontent and uneasy, but they had no choice but to continue the pursuit silently, "I wonder if we can still catch up..."
They had lost their target!
If the monkey wasn't smart and kept running in a straight line, it would be easy to catch up. But once they 'turned a corner'...
Yet, they were unwilling to give up and continued the chase.
"Let's hope for divine favor..."
"After so many years of hard work, we've never received divine favor. Today, when the opportunity is right before our eyes, let's not miss it again."
"..."
They silently prayed in their hearts.
......
Soon, they were gone.
At that moment, a stone quietly transformed, and the Blood Sea Clone shook its head, "Fortunately, I made it in time. The timing was just right."
"My dear disciple..."
"From now on, you may have to rely on yourself."
"..."
Lin Fan's true self was not dead.
He had used the Seventy-Two Transformations to turn into dust and then used illusions to deceive them, showing them what they most wanted to see...
So, in their eyes, Lin Fan's true self had vanished into ashes.
The Blood Sea Clone had also left traces of a grand battle in advance, leading them astray...
For now, Lin Fan had done all he could.
The rest was up to Sun Wutong herself.
......
"..."
"No."
"Their speed is not slow, and my Walking Secret is only at the entry level. With the Golden Hoop Rod slowing me down, it's hard to catch up..."
"Continuing to flee like this won't work."
"I must first repel or kill them, but my time is limited, so I must act quickly. Otherwise, if more people from the Thirteen Realms or higher join the pursuit..."
"Hmm."
Sun Wutong clenched her teeth, determined. In Lin Fan's presence and within the Moon Embrace Sect, she was well-behaved and considered the most stunning monkey in the world.
But she was ultimately a demon! Once she became ruthless...
She turned around, holding the Golden Hoop Rod, and counterattacked!
"Heaven and Earth Transformation!"
Boom!
She used the Heaven and Earth Transformation to enlarge herself a thousand times, and the Golden Hoop Rod also grew to the size of a Heaven-Supporting Pillar. With a single strike, the space distorted and almost tore apart.
"Not good!"
"This demon monkey wants to fight back before dying?"
"Let's join forces to kill her first, then fight for the treasure!"
"Agreed!"
Three Golden Immortals exchanged glances and decided to join forces immediately.
"Block!!!"
They combined their powers to defend against the attack.
One Immortal cast sword techniques, another laid down formations, and the third used various spells and talismans to resist the rod's power.
Rumble!
The rod fell, its power comparable to a collapsing Heaven-Supporting Pillar.
The spells were broken instantly, the talismans burned, and the formation collapsed under the rod's might.
Two of the Immortals worked together to temporarily bind the Golden Hoop Rod with spells.
The third Immortal used sword techniques, appearing beside the giant monkey in an instant!
With a single step, they could kill!
In a flash, the sword's radiance shone brilliantly.
The sword struck out, its killing intent overwhelming. At this moment, the sword intent for life and death was fully displayed.
Slice!
The speed was too fast!
The friction from the sword even caused the space to distort.
This sword strike ruthlessly pierced the Heaven and Earth Transformation, and even Sun Wutong.
"Roar!"
The giant monkey roared.
It swung its palm!
"Hahaha, even if a monkey cultivates to the Tenth Realm, it still lacks a brain.
"The Sword Immortal was overjoyed, "With such a treasure in hand, I dare not resist, I can only flee in panic."
"But your physical body, what is it to you, that you dare to be so audacious in front of me?"
"Break!"
Who dares to stand in my way? Only I, the Great Desert Sword Immortal~!"
Oh no, who dares to stand with a sword?
He laughed, his body and sword becoming one, and the Hundred Li Flying Sword flew forth!
Pfft!!!
The giant monkey's palm was instantly pierced by the flying sword.
However, the Sword Immortal's imagined scenario of his arm exploding did not occur, instead, the giant palm was approaching closer and closer..."
"No, no!!!
He was terrified, but it was too late.
The immortal sword pierced the palm, but the palm still struck down, and he had no time to dodge, and was hit hard by the giant palm.
Wow!!!
He felt a sweetness in his throat, as if a giant mountain had struck him, almost killing him instantly!
Boom!
The man and sword were sent flying!
The other two Golden Immortals also arrived at this moment, intending to take advantage of Sun Wutong's injury and take her life!
"Ten Combat Arts!"
"Mind Confusing Ancient Scripture!"
Both were Golden Immortals, and both were veteran Golden Immortals, so their strength was naturally not weak, and their secret techniques and expertise were also extremely bright.
Therefore, under their full power and combined efforts, they targeted each other's weaknesses for their attacks!
One evolved ten clones, and each clone displayed different techniques, forming a formation with each other, which was quite astonishing.
The other one directly attacked the soul!
In his opinion, she was a demon, with a formidable physical body and even possessing the 'classic' Heaven and Earth Transformation, a mere Tenth Realm cultivator, how could she possibly withstand his soul-confusing secret technique?
Die!
Sun Wutong roared.
The giant monkey also howled, swinging the Golden Hoop Rod in his hand and rushing towards the one using the Ten Combat Arts to sweep them away!
This strike, with its successive rod shadows, made it seem as if the Golden Hoop Rod had also multiplied!
With a single strike, the Golden Immortal was left dumbfounded.
"I'm fcking screwed!"
"There's even this move?!"
His soul was trembling, and he even forgot about the Ten Combat Arts, immediately sending out nine clones to block while his main body focused on escaping.
But...
It was useless!
Bang, bang, bang...
With a single strike, all the clones exploded.
He was clever, moving in an S-shaped pattern to dodge and evade.
But the Golden Hoop Rod truly seemed to multiply, and with a single strike, it directly...
Oh no!
Bang!
This Golden Immortal also exploded.
At the same time, the Mind Confusing Ancient Scripture hit its mark.
The giant monkey's movements suddenly halted.
"Hahaha, I knew it!"
The Golden Immortal using the scripture was overjoyed and was about to move in for the kill...
But it was only for a fleeting moment, as the Golden Hoop Rod moved again, striking down!
And this time, it wasn't a sweep or a smash, but the giant monkey hugged the Heaven-Supporting Pillar and slammed it down.
Boom!!!
The Golden Immortal instantly perished!
You know?
You know what!
At this moment...
Sun Wutong's soul was still under attack.
The Mind Confusing Ancient Scripture was extraordinary, a persistent soul-attacking technique. If it were an ordinary Tenth Realm cultivator, they would likely be slain in an instant.
But Sun Wutong was strong.
Her soul's strength wasn't exceptionally high, still within the Tenth Realm category.
But her Indestructible Heavenly Art had already reached the entry level!
The Indestructible Heavenly Art wasn't just about having an indestructible physical body; its soul-stabilizing effect was even more heaven-defying.
The Ruthless Emperor had relied on the Indestructible Heavenly Art to successfully live through his second life, third life... and Nth life!
In that era when immortal substances were scarce, he had lived through countless epochs!
Now, even though Sun Wutong had only reached the entry level, her soul's strength was not something that a Golden Immortal using the Mind Confusing Ancient Scripture could easily shake.
Although Sun Wutong couldn't do anything about this soul attack, she could completely withstand it and continue to counterattack.
After 'stabbing' the opponent to death with a single strike, Sun Wutong attacked again, intending to finish off the Sword Immortal!
But upon seeing the second Golden Immortal being slain, the Sword Immortal dared not act. Instead, he immediately used Blood Escape, even burning part of his soul to accelerate his escape...
His speed was so fast that even Sun Wutong couldn't catch up.
At this moment...
It wasn't appropriate to continue the pursuit.
She quickly retracted the Heaven and Earth Transformation and chose a direction, rushing forward without looking back!
At the same time, she shrank the Magic Golden Cudgel into a sewing needle and inserted it into her ear.
And at this moment, her right palm was bloody and mangled.
Her cheek also bore scars, but fortunately, they weren't too noticeable, just a bit swollen...
At least her face wasn't disfigured.
After escaping some distance, she used the Seventy-Two Transformations to turn into a flying creature and flew away.
After flying some distance, she transformed again.
Repeating this ten times, she then used the Thousand Transformations Art to turn herself into an old beast and slowly headed towards the West Bull Prosperous Continent...
She didn't know if her actions would be enough to shake off the pursuers and those of higher realms.
But...
She had done all she could, and if she were still caught, she could only fight with all her might!
...
...
The Blood Sea Clone had expended some of its power and slowly arrived at the site where Sun Wutong had used Heaven and Earth Transformation to battle three Golden Immortals.
Through the traces around, he almost completely deduced the battle situation.
"Two dead, one heavily injured."
Blood Sea Clone: "..."
"This combat power is truly outrageous."
"The Golden Hoop Rod, it feels like this is the real Golden Hoop Rod, much more impressive than in the original story."
In the original story, Sun Wukong seemed to be at the Tai Yi Golden Immortal realm?
However, the original story's realms didn't directly correspond to the Fourteen Realms of the Three Thousand Continents.
But if one were to make a comparison, it would likely be similar.
Take Yang Jian, for example. He wasn't a match for a Great Golden Immortal, but below that realm, there were few who could defeat him.
The battle between him and the monkey wasn't too different.
Hmm...
However, even a monkey at the Tai Yi Golden Immortal Realm couldn't unleash the full might of the Golden Hoop Rod in his hands.
It's like a convenient and durable weapon.
But in Sun Wutong's hands, this 'Golden Hoop Rod' is a genuine divine artifact!
It's truly a divine weapon!
"However, those three Golden Immortals underestimated the monkey's abilities, and even more so, the power of the Golden Hoop Rod."
"If they had been more cautious, less careless, and not so eager to kill her quickly, it wouldn't have been so disastrous."
This Golden Hoop Rod is too brutal!
Especially after returning to its original size, its weight...
A Twelve Realm cultivator can't withstand it!
One strike, one friend down!
A Thirteen Realm cultivator would be lucky to dodge it, but with the monkey currently at the Tenth Realm, it's unlikely to hit them.
So...
His assessment of the monkey's current combat strength is—an invincible opponent within the Twelve Realms.
When facing a Thirteen Realm cultivator...
It's best to keep your distance.
After all, a Thirteen Realm cultivator isn't stupid; they won't stand still and let themselves get smashed.
Although the Golden Hoop Rod is powerful, its close-range physical offense is too 'primitive' and 'singular'.
Easy to dodge.
"However, it's good that she temporarily escaped the pursuers. As for the aftermath..."
"Sigh, I must keep an eye on it."
"Not knowing the plot, I can't prepare in advance, so I must stay alert and watch."
"Otherwise..."
"It's truly troublesome."
"..."
---
Although Lin Fan didn't know what kind of 'Journey to the West Tribulation' Sun Wutong would encounter, he could roughly estimate its danger level.
---
The Golden Hoop Rod is too overpowered.
And it's clear that the strength of the Golden Hoop Rod is directly proportional to the intensity of this tribulation!
So...
This is a huge problem!
...
"It's good that nothing happened."
Lin Fan's main body stopped in his tracks.
Since his clone had already sent back intelligence, there was no need for his main body to rush over.
"It's a pity that the satellite deployment speed is still too slow; otherwise..."
"A single phone call would have settled it."
He shook his head and changed course towards Blood River Capital.
"This is quite a commotion."
"As soon as I arrived in Blood River Continent, I'm greeted with this. My little heart is still pounding."
"I hope this auction will give me a pleasant surprise and soothe my wounded soul."
He shook his head and changed his 'identity', continuing his journey—when you're out and about, your identity is your own choice.
---
When you're out and about, caution is essential.
"I seem to be getting more cautious."
"But..."
"This is good enough."
"Increase the intensity!"
"..."
...
Blood River Capital, one of the ten largest, most prosperous, and strongest cities in Blood River Continent.
Numerous powerful factions stand tall within.
There are also some local powers.
Here, even a Thirteen Realm cultivator, let alone a Fifteen Realm one, wouldn't dare walk arrogantly.
Lin Fan naturally maintained a low profile.
He didn't even go to the Celestial Pavilion.
At times like this, the lower the profile, the fewer people one interacts with, the harder it is for others to guess one's identity.
Therefore...
He tried to avoid any acquaintances, quietly waiting for the auction to begin in Blood River Capital.
...
Time flew by.
On the day of the auction, Lin Fan, for once, 'got up early'. He arrived at the auction venue, verified his invitation, and was escorted to one of the VIP rooms.
"It's a VIP room?"
"Wow, that's too flashy!"
"It doesn't fit my usual low-key strategy."
"This is an exception, just this once!"
"..."
This auction house is high-class.
Especially the VIP rooms, they give a feeling of being welcomed.
The environment, facilities, and even the various decorations are all top-notch. Even the free tea is the Enlightenment Tea!
Although it's not from the mother tree but a 'descendant', it's a weakened version of the Enlightenment Tea. Still, outside, it's a treasure that money can't buy.
Without the right connections and background, even with money, it's hard to acquire.
Taking a sip, it's refreshing and uplifting.
And that's not all.
Even more astonishing is that each VIP room has a female attendant...
With cultivation, every woman is beautiful.
Hmm...
But on second thought, one shouldn't speak so absolutely. After all, while everyone has a love for beauty, everyone's definition of beauty is different, and Lin Fan has seen all sorts of things.
Who knows, some might prefer ugliness?
However, the female attendant in Lin Fan's VIP room is indeed beautiful.
Fair-skinned and stunning, with a curvaceous figure, she exudes a delicate and easily seducible aura.
No need to think...
If VIPs have such needs, these attendants would undoubtedly provide corresponding services.
But...
Tsk, in a place like this.
Lin Fan certainly has no interest.
What if there's a pinhole camera?
Who knows what kind of weird arrays, spells, or treasures these people from the Immortal World might use? Ignoring their various hints, or even direct suggestions, Lin Fan remained calm, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.
"Speaking of which, this is my first time attending an auction."
Lin Fan stretched lazily.
In his two lifetimes, he had never participated in such an event.
In his previous life, he was just a small streamer, with no particular hobby for collecting... Wait, that's not entirely true.
Perhaps he did have a collecting hobby.
But his previous life's identity, status, and especially his financial situation, hadn't reached that level.
He could only afford a comfortable life, where would he get the spare money to splurge at auctions?
