Chapter 526: Singlehandedly
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

In a hidden cave somewhere, a bunch of protective formations were engaged. These protective formations could hide the aura of the cave, as well as bewitch any living being that came close, keeping the place in a state of stealth.

At this moment, a group of beings from the thousands of races out were hidden within this cave. They were dressed differently in a few different groups.

Dragon race, Horn race, Wings race, Giant race, et cetera…

After settling down his tribesmen, Xiesheng came over with his bunch of seniors.

The scale of operation this time round was massive. Six major sects had gathered tens of thousands of disciples to head forth towards Despair City in order to rescue their fellow comrades trapped within that place.

They had received news that the Marquis of Despair wasn't in the city right now. They had their own suspicions at the start as well towards the credibility of this news. However, upon further inspection, they had affirmed that this was a legitimate piece of news.

The Marquis of Despair was someone who would never leave the Despair City. Now that he had done so, this was practically a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Seniors, do you guys think that the rescue operation this time around would be successful? Can we truly overthrow the Despair City?" Xiesheng was filled with hope as he looked around at the sheer number of people gathered. However, the thought of having to go against the notoriously horrifying the Marquis of Despair was still giving him the shivers.

"That goes without saying. Six major sects with tens of thousands of disciples! Furthermore, we've got thirty Elders here of desolate celestial cultivation state. This is a really formidable force that's gathered. Even if the Marquis of Despair were around, this wouldn't be a completely hopeless operation. However, in order to minimize casualties, choosing to strike when the Marquis of Despair isn't around is the best chance we could ever hope for." Mu Longtian replied.

"This time around, Elder Dulong is making his appearance personally. There's nothing that's impossible with that." Long Yue'er continued.

"That's right. Elder Dulong is a powerful being who had duelled the Marquis of Despair for an entire day and night in the past. With the presence of such a powerful and experience elderly being, there is nothing that's impossible." Xiesheng's heart heaved a huge sigh of relief with that.

…

"Xiesheng, how are your tribesmen doing?" Suddenly, a stern voice boomed across from the distance.

A middle aged man walked over briskly. Every single step he took seemed to be filled with a deep, mysterious power, as he appeared before all of them in an instant.

This middle aged man was evidently trained in a set of unparalleled skills; and to an extremely high level with that.

"Elder Dulong!" Everyone cusped their fists and greeted with respect. Even the haughty Mu Tianlong's face was filled with nothing but admiration right now.

"Everything has been settled! The moment I arrived, I didn't not manage to engage the ancient race beings in a duel. All of them had been slain by a single man from the Human race." Xiesheng reported the truth.

"Human race?" The moment Dulong heard this, a cryptic look appeared on his face, as though he was really interested in this Human.

"The Human race had gone under the radar for around 10,000 years now. To think that a single human would appear here. Could this man have ascended from the Lower World of the Humans?" Dulong was quite curious.

Right now in the Ancient Saint World, it was easy to bump into beings of so many races. However, it would take more than a miracle to bump into a single human being.

The only two known supreme existences of the Human race had long entered seclusion, rescinding their involvement in the affairs of the Ancient Saint World.

This was an open secret in the Ancient Saint World. Some of the beings of the thousands of races viewed these two as mere cowards who have gone into hiding.

However, Dulong did not think the same. He knew that the only reason they would even have the confidence to retaliate and stand up for themselves was because of the five powerful beings from the Human race who had killed the Ancient One, one of the eight utmost beings of the ancient race.

"Elder, that human was nothing but an egomaniac. He may have already died in the hands of the ancient race." Mu Tianlong scoffed in disdain.

"Hmm? What's going on?" Dulong asked in puzzlement.

"Elder, after slaying those beings of the ancient race, that human headed straight towards Despair City, claiming that he was gunning for the Marquis of Despair's life." Xiesheng replied worriedly.

No matter what, that human was a benefactor of his tribe. If he were to die off just like that, it would be a real pity.

"That human was far too arrogant. The Marquis of Despair has controlled the Despair City for thousands of years, with his foundation embedded deeply. Even the six of us major sects would have to go full force in order to deal with him, let alone harbour any thoughts of killing him. All he has is some dumb guts." Long Yue'er carried on.

"Forget it, forget it. Everyone, head off to prepare. We'll leave in a bit. This time around, we've got to seize the opportunity when the Marquis of Despair isn't around to rescue everyone out of the Despair City." Dulong sighed for a moment before waving his hand dismissively.

He couldn't bring himself to believe that a single human could take down the Marquis of Despair. After all, he was the clearest about the Marquis of Despair's true strength. Furthermore, there was a secret that he would never ever speak of.

In his great battle with the Marquis of Despair back then, he could sense that the Marquis of Despair was just toying around with him. If the other party truly had the intentions of killing him, there was no way he would be standing here alive right now.

"Yes…!"

...

Heading on his way, Lin Fan's mind was filled with some thoughts.

There was definitely a risk in his visit to the Despair City this time around. The battle might be fierce, but it was definitely impossible for them to kill him.

With Eternal Immortality protecting his body and Rebirth through Blood ensuring his revival, it was all good. Furthermore, even if he were to meet with a fearsome foe with nowhere to run, he could retreat within the Heaven and Earth Smelt safely.

Of course, that was the worst-case scenario, for him to hide in the Heaven and Earth Smelt till he could get strong enough to burst out of it.

With this thought, Lin Fan was filled with confidence. After all, an experienced driver would never crash the car.

Failing this would mean an eternal life of damnation for Lin Fan.

After all, there were eight districts of the Ancient Saint World. To think that he was only stuck in a small corner in one of the districts! If he couldn't even get rid of this small BOSS, how could he lift his head up high in the world from here on forth?

"Human there! Hold up!"

"HAHA! To think that we would bump into a lone human! What luck!"

A small patrol squad of the ancient race let out a look of excitement upon catching sight of the lone Lin Fan. Lin Fan lowered his head and rubbed his chin. Raising his palm gently, he exterminated this patrol squad instantly.

Ants like these weren't enough to bother Lin Fan. He did not want to let such things disturb his train of thoughts.

...

Despair City…

PSCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

'ARGH…!'

A series of wails rang out from all directions. One by one, beings of the thousands of races were locked up in cages and subjected to endless torture under broad daylight.

Despair... Endless despair.

All of them had lost all hope for their future. In this cruel and tormentuous place, no one would ever come to save them.

"THIS ISN'T THE HEAVEN I WAS PROMISED. I HATE THIS PLACE…!" A being who had ascended cried out tragically.

He had thought that he would be welcomed into a land of Heaven upon training to the peak of his world. However, it was Hell that he had discovered upon entering this place, a hopeless Hell of despair.

"IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN SAVE ME…? ANYONE PLEASE…!" A being from the Horn race cried out with blood all over his body.

"HEHE…"

"HAHAHAHAHA…"

Accompanying these wails was the maniacal laughter of the ancient race. Torturing these beings from the thousands of races out there was something too enjoyable for these ancient race beings.

"SAVE YOU? After entering the Despair City, there is no longer any more hope of aid for you!"

"Despair! DIE IN THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR!"

"HAHAHA…!"

…

BOOM!

Suddenly, the ground shook as a gigantic explosion rang out.

"Yours Truly is Lin Fan of the Human race! Today, I shall take down the Despair City!" A voice permeated through the entire sky of the Despair City.

The moment the beings of the thousands of races out there heard this, they started howling.

"SAVE US…! WE'RE…!" Suddenly, everyone's heart felt a ray of light shining within them. That was hope!

"SOMEONE FROM THE HUMAN RACE HAS ARRIVED!" One of the ancient race beings hollered out.

"HAHAHA! A SINGLE HUMAN? HE CAME HERE SINGLEHANDEDLY? HAHAHA…!" Some of the ancient race beings who were in charge of tormenting the beings of the thousands of races began to burst out into laughter at these words, as though they had just heard the biggest joke in the entire world.

"H-how…?" The hope that had just lit up within the hearts of the beings of the thousands of races extinguished in an instant.

A single person? What use could that be?

Against the ancient race, that was as good as a teacup against a meteorite.

YES! Yours Truly is going to take down everyone! Although, the fact that caught my attention the most was the mentioning of two Supreme Existences of the Human race in this world right now. Plotsoup thicc, boys! Thicc!

Chapter 527: Isn't There A Worthy Fighter?
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

There was now a gigantic hole spanning tens of thousands of feet in the gigantic, massive wall surrounding the Despair City.

In the past thousands of years, Lin Fan was the first being of the thousands of races out there who had dared to seek trouble at the Despair City.

In the past, there had been powerful beings who had grouped up together and came forth towards the Despair City. However, all of them were nothing but ants in the face of the powerful Despair City. Their outcomes were the same: Corpses to be hung on the walls of the city, serving as a warning for any other potential intruders.

The authority of the Marquis of Despair was not to be questioned.

"To think that some mere human would dare to infiltrate the great Despair City? You deserve death for your actions!"

A tribunus of the ancient race stood tall and mighty, towering in the midst of the Despair City.

"Human! I shall use your blood and meat to decorate the walls of our Despair City!" Hollering out, the tribunus waved his pitch black hands, "Arrest him!"

"Yes!"

The ancient race soldiers were lined up in an orderly manner, emanating a thick killing intent from their ranks. This killing intent materialized into a murderous gigantic dragon, swiveling in the air and roaring out towards Lin Fan.

These were trained soldiers of the ancient race. Their killing intent was intense, something that any mere ancient race being could not compare with.

On the other hand, Lin Fan could hardly care about these ancient race beings. Weak, too weak! Even though they were massive in numbers, they were nothing but paper in the face of his absolute powers.

"Get the Marquis of Despair out!" Lin Fan said calmly.

"Lord Marquis of Despair isn't someone you can see just like that! Take down this human, and we'll have his blood painted on our walls!" The ancient race tribunus cried out in anger. The killing intent on that hideous and ugly face of his was certain, as a massive aura burst forth from him, shooting straight up into the Heavens.

"Eat him up!"

"Kill this human!"

Tens of thousands of ancient race soldiers burst forth at Lin Fan. Ten chiliarchs were heading the charge, behind whom were ten centurions each.

If this were in the past, things might have seemed a little sticky for Lin Fan. However, for the current him, this was nothing to be afraid of.

"Oh, you cheap little ancient race sh*ts..." Lin Fan shook his head and sighed. Since they courted death, so be it. No matter how little it was, they still provided experience points after all.

'Demon City!'

Lin Fan slapped out into the skies with his palm as the gigantic supreme grade dao weapon, Demon City, appeared in the void. The howling figure of the big ancient demon grew larger gradually.

The Demon City, which was only the size of a palm, had expanded into a gigantic city instantly, which covered the entire sky. The imposing might of the big ancient demon burst forth immediately.

The unparalleled Demonic Qi spread through the entire sky as the Earth spirit river rippled out through the Heaven and Earth as well.

With a stretch of his gigantic palm, the big ancient demon took down the Heavens as he grasped out at the pitch black army of ancient race soldiers.

The moment the ten chiliarchs caught sight of this colossal palm, their hearts jerked for a moment. They then hollered out before exchanging glances with one another.

'Ancient Heaven Piercer!'

Suddenly, the ten chiliarchs joined hands together, and their auras fused immediately. A ball of flame rose up rapidly. Within this surging flame stood a gigantic giant of the ancient race, that was 10,000 feet tall. With a maddened howl, he stretched out both of his arms, punching through the layers of void, as though he was bent on taking down the big ancient demon.

"Hmph. I've got to admit that you guys have got some tricks. However, you really think that you can go against Yours Truly after just combining into a mere giant?" Lin Fan laughed coldly. No matter how many of these ants came forth, he would just kill them all.

Even though this giant was a result of the fusion of ten chiliarchs, it was far from enough to garner any bit of respect from Lin Fan.

BOOM!

The Heaven and Earth quaked once more as the devastating fist of the big ancient demon destroyed everything in its way. That 10,000 feet tall giant began to crumble into blood water while wailing out tragically.

BAM!

The might of that fist was unparalleled in this world.

The firm ground began to tear apart under the tremendous force produced by that fist. In fact, the moment it landed on the ground, even the entire Despair City began to quiver against it.

"Damned human! You're courting death!" Looking at the mighty punch, the tribunus snapped back to his senses as he rushed forth towards Lin Fan.

"Die under my might! I shall have you know a fate worse than death!" The fury that was burning within the big ancient demon's heart was boundless. Intolerable! To think that ten chiliarchs that he had spent such a long time grooming would fall under that single fist! And that was not even counting the number of centurions and decani that had perished along with them!

"Human! No matter how powerful you are, there's no way you're getting out of this alive!"

'Severing Demon Slash!'

The body of the tribunus shone brightly as he delved into the void. He was wielding a blood red saber, which was gleaming with a ghastly aura. Slicing out, that single shockwave of berserk strength ripped out towards Lin Fan.

Severing Demon Slash was the tribunus's ultimate move. It was a mysterious and dark skill. Even if the void were cut by it, they wouldn't regenerate for an extremely long time.

Any mere man would definitely find their bodies being ripped apart in the blink of an eye, without even knowing how they died.

'So Near, Yet So Far!'

Lin Fan, who was standing there casually, suddenly disappeared from where he was, as though he had disappeared from the entire world.

The tribunus's face crumpled up as a look of horror spread through his entire face. He couldn't locate the figure of that human anymore!

Where did he go?!

However, in the blink of an eye, the body of the ancient race tribunus shuddered once more as a look of fear entered his eyes as well. From the reflection of his pupils, one could catch sight of a face filled with a beaming wide grin.

A seemingly normal hand grabbed out at him. The tribunus roared in anger, "B*STARD! I'LL CLEAVE YOU INTO TWO!"

The tribunus was filled with glee right now looking at how the impudent human daring to receive the blow with his bare hands. With the rush of adrenaline, the force that was emanated out increased ever so slightly, as the muscles of the tribunus bulged up.

Shing.

"You…!" The ancient race tribunus could not believe his own eyes. To think that the human could break through his Severing Demon Slash with a single hand? Not only that, the human continued pushing forth, causing his saber to crumble.

Wait, he wasn't stopping! Next thing the tribunus knew, Lin Fan was grabbing at his neck.

"Azure celestial full cultivation... You're the weakest tribunus I've ever met." Lin Fan continued calmly. In his eyes, this tribunus was just way too weak. Extremely, extremely weak!

It was so weak that he couldn't even get excited in the least bit!

"LET ME GO…!" The ancient race tribunus howled as that massive body of his struggled. However, the human' grip was dead locked, and he couldn't even move a single inch from his position!

Crack.

With a single pinch of his fingers, Lin Fan snapped the neck of the tribunus and tossed him far into the distance.

...

Those beings of the thousands of races out there no longer knew what was going on right now.

That single quake early on had caused their hearts to shudder. Within each and every single one of their hearts, there was a burning desire to live on. They hoped for a miracle secretly. However, in reality, they knew that the chances of that were second to none.

In their eyes, that human that had arrived was most probably already dead.

Those ancient race beings in charge of tormenting them were waiting patiently as well. Suddenly, all of them burst out into laughter.

"HAHA! That human must be dead by now!"

"To think that he would dare to come to Despair City so brazenly! He's just seeking death!"

"All of you ants right here! Enjoy your despair happily! That man will not be able to save you guys!"

...

Those eyes of the captive beings that had lit up with hope earlier on gradually began to dim down once more. These ancient race beings were right. How could anyone possibly be here to rescue them? Despair City was a place that was filled with prisoners brimming with despair.

However, right at that moment, a loud voice rang out across the entire skies.

"ISNT THERE A SINGLE WORTHY ANCIENT RACE FIGHTER AT ALL?"

"YOURS TRULY HERE IS LIN FAN. TODAY, I SHALL TAKE DOWN THE DESPAIR CITY! MARQUIS OF DESPAIR, GET OUT HERE…!"

The earth trembled as a colossal giant appeared in the distance, with the gigantic Demon City above his head. He was so imposing, as though he could pluck down the moon from the sky itself.

The moment that gigantic being opened its wide mouth, tons of ancient race beings were sucked into his tummy to be converted as nourishment.

It was so horrific a sight that their hearts froze up for a moment there.

Chapter 528: The Four Commanders
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

Trampling on the bodies of the ancient race beings, Lin Fan stepped forth to the middle of the Despair City. The big ancient demon was devouring everything in his path. All of these ancient race beings were a good tonic for the big ancient demon.

Upon absorbing these many ancient race beings, the aura of Demon City was gradually getting stronger as well.

Lin Fan checked out the experience points he gained, and they were indeed not too bad. Even though the cultivation state of these ancient race beings was low, they made up for it in terms of sheer quantity. After all, each of those average ancient race soldiers only gave a pathetic ten experience points.

The moment Lin Fan entered Despair City, he frowned. This place was exactly as it was named, filled with despair at every single corner.

In fact, the amount of despair was so great that it had already materialized into bean-sized crystals. These were Despair Beads that were formed from the cumulative despair of the beings of the thousands of races out there.

Within the beads, one could witness images of the captive beings being tortured endlessly, extinguishing every single last bit of hope they had, and converting it all into despair.

'Just what sort of torments must they have undergone in order to form such beads?'

Looking at these, Lin Fan could not help but wonder in his heart. He hadn't seen any of these things in the Xuanhuang World before. The ancient race was sick in the head indeed. To think that they could even form things like these.

However, the thing that had Lin Fan puzzled was the fact that the Marquis of Despair had not appeared despite the commotion he was causing.

Could it be that the Marquis of Despair was looking down on Yours Truly? Did he think that Yours Truly was just an ant that wasn't worth his personal attention?

However, none of these mattered to Lin Fan.

Since he didn't want to appear, Lin Fan would just have to tear down the entire Despair City altogether. Surely, he would appear eventually.

Furthermore, he wasn't that far off from leveling right now.

The more Lin Fan battled, the stronger he got. This was the true power of the System.

Suddenly, Lin Fan noticed that there were four towering spires within the Despair City. Each and every one of these spires looked extremely ordinary. However, at that moment, a black mist was gathered around the top of all four of them.

With that, four beams of lights tore through the skies, darting out towards him.

"The four commanders are coming! This human's death is certain now!"

Those ancient race soldiers who were being forced to retreat due to Lin Fan's presence suddenly erupted out in cheers at the sight of the four beams of lights.

These were the true gods within their hearts. Even the Marquis of Despair wasn't comparable to them.

After all, at the end of the day, the Marquis of Despair wasn't of the ancient race. While they were afraid of him, none of them would ever respect him.

But these four commanders? They were purely of ancient race descent. Furthermore, each and every one of their cultivation states was incredibly strong, and they had been guarding Despair City all this while.

"Here come the powerful ones." Sensing the aura of the four beams of lights, Lin Fan frowned slightly.

This wasn't going to be a walk in the park. The four of them from the ancient race weren't any simple beings.

BOOM!

As they landed on the ground, the entire Earth rumbled from their force.

Coming before Lin Fan, the four beams of lights revealed their true forms. Just the looks of them alone was enough for Lin Fan to tell that they were extraordinary. Even the auras being emanated from them were enough to have one's heart skip a beat.

'Desolate celestial full cultivation state.'

Catching sight of their cultivation states, Lin Fan's brows creased. Things were going to get sticky now.

Each of these four ancient race beings towered ten feet tall. All four of them were pitch black, and covered in a black, sinister-looking armor plate, which gave off an unnatural feel.

"Hmm... Big ancient demon." The moment the first commander, Gu Haitian caught sight of the titanic giant behind Lin Fan, his faze froze up a little. However, he burst out into sneer soon after, "A pity that you're already turned into a weapon spirit."

"Human, you've got some guts there to head over to the Despair City in such a brazen manner." The second commander, Gu Zhengtian shouted over. The moment he did so, a sonic boom was formed through his voice. It was sharp as a blade, ripping the void into two almost immediately.

"For you to possess such capabilities after just ascending four months ago… hmm... I've got to say that's pretty shocking. Even though I don't know what sort of a miraculous encounter you must have gone through to grow that much, coming here leaves you with no outcome other than death." The third commander, Gu Batian said.

"Foolish human, the only fate awaiting anyone who dares challenge the authority of the ancient race is a tragic one." The fourth commander, Gu Zhantian continued.

"Remember our names."

"First commander, Gu Haitian."

"Second commander, Gu Zhengtian."

"Third commander, Gu Batian."

"Fourth commander, Gu Zhantian."

Suddenly, all four commanders hollered out with a loud war cry, bursting their auras straight into the Heavens like unparalleled gods of war. Just a single gaze from them was enough to send shivers down the hearts of anyone.

Looking at these four fellas, Lin Fan could not help but chuckle in his heart. Even though the battle that would come was definitely going to be fearsome, he had a burning question in his heart.

What the f*ck did the Heaven do to these guys?

Zhengtian and Zhantian? Gosh.

If Yours Truly were the Heavens itself, Yours Truly would surely send down thunderbolts to smite down at these guys!

...

"The four commanders had not made an appearance for a full hundred years now! To think that they would be mobilized over a mere human! This is incredible!"

"The might of our four commanders is definite! This human is dead for sure now!"

Looking at the towering figures of their four commanders, the ancient race soldiers were filled with endless gloat in their hearts. To them, the outcome of Lin Fan was already fixed. The only thing awaiting him right now was death.

However, to the beings of the thousands of races out there, the only feeling right now was crushing hopelessness.

These were the four great commanders of Despair City. None of them were any weaker than the Marquis of Despair himself. Even though the beings were trapped here in the Despair City as prisoners, they had a certain amount of understanding about these four commanders.

Each and every one of them was a devastating existence that no one could hope to go against!

It was over. Everything was over right now.

BOOM!

A massive aura burst forth between the Heaven and Earth at that moment. It was as though even the firmament was pierced directly through. The moment the beings of the thousands of races out there sensed this aura, they were stunned.

This aura was way too strong! In fact, it wasn't any bit weaker than the aura emanated from the four commanders!

"YOURS TRULY HERE IS LIN FAN! TODAY, I SHALL TAKE DOWN THE DESPAIR CITY!" Taking a step forward, Lin Fan's might burst forth from every single pore of his being.

This upcoming battle might force Lin Fan to employ every single last trick he had up his sleeves. Against these four commanders, Lin Fan was certain that he couldn't make the mistake of being careless, nor would he be merciful in any bit.

He knew that these four were truly powerful beings.

"HEHEHE…!"

While the four commanders laughed out sinisterly, their hearts were in fact quivering right now.

They had not expected this human being to wield such strength! In fact, the reason why four of them had come out together was because they had sensed the aura of the big ancient demon.

"Such a puny human! I can't be bothered to deal with him. You guys! Which of you is gonna go first?"

"I can't be bothered as well."

"Gu Zhantian! You first, then!"

...

At this moment, it seemed as though none of these four commanders had any regards for Lin Fan at all. But to Lin Fan, these guys would really be way too dumb if they truly wanted to go against him one by one.

However, at that moment, Lin Fan's face froze for a moment.

To think that these four would suddenly try a sneak attack on him all at the same time!

"Hmph. To think that the ancient race would be so despicable." Lin Fan scoffed coldly before moving his body nimbly.

If news of the four commanders sneaking an attack together on a lone human being were to spread out, they would definitely be the laughing stock of everyone out there!

However, all four commanders had sensed the immense aura that was produced by Lin Fan earlier on. Furthermore, all of them wanted to get their hands on the big ancient demon.

If they could devour the big ancient demon, they might be able to shoot right up into the Divine Celestial cultivation state. THAT would truly put them on the path towards becoming a heaven-defying existence.

"Let's seal the void to prevent him from escaping!"

"Alright! After we kill him and snatch over the big ancient demon, we'll then decide how to split it evenly!"

"He must have had some sort of miracle encounter in order for him to progress so far in just four months post his ascension! However, if the four of us were to combine our forces together, anyone below divine celestial would be no match for us at all!"

Gigantic Destruction!

Heaven and Earth Covering Palm!

Ancient Torrential Skies!

...

At this moment, the four commanders gave Lin Fan no chance at all as they unleashed their most powerful moves.

Energy gushed in from all directions, charging at Lin Fan. Each and every action they undertook was bent on crushing Lin Fan entirely.

Okay! The pun here regarding Zhengtian and Zhantian is something that can’t be explained directly. The literal meaning of Zhengtian is Rumbling the Heavens while Zhantian is Slaying the Heavens. So, as you guys can tell, Lin Fan was chuckling at the fact that it seemed as though the names of these guys were just out to go against the Heavens. However, as they are names, I can’t name them as Gu Rumbling the Heavens etc. Hopefully this clears things up! Cheers!

Chapter 529: Invincible Defense
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

Any single one of the four commanders could be an existence that could reign over all parts of the world with absolute ease. Now that the four of them joined forces to gang up against a single human, one could possibly imagine the sheer might of this lineup.

If it were anyone else that had to go against these four, they would most likely be disintegrated into dust immediately, without any room for resistance.

Sealing the Heaven and Earth, all four commanders unleashed their ultimate moves, as their True Skill seeds churned. It was as though the Heaven's Will of the Ancient Saint World was their direct source of energy, with four beams of light shining down from the Heavens onto them, channeling additional power to them consistently.

Seizing the opportunity to strike with a sneak attack, the four commanders were now on the offensive, with their flurry of strikes slamming through the void. In an instant, thousands of palm strikes merged into the void, as a series of expressions appeared on all of their faces.

Sinister, vile, lustful, and malevolent looks…

All four of them were spread out in four directions, blocking Lin Fan's path of escape entirely. It was as though they had welcomed some sort of ultimate heavenly wisdom to form this killing formation of absolutes.

For the past 100 years, they had been in seclusion, trying to obtain that much desired Divine celestial cultivation state. However, the difficulty in attaining it was way more difficult than anyone could imagine.

However, due to that, they had comprehended a fair amount of heavenly wisdom of this world. Every single strike that came from them now brought with it a stunning amount of energy from the Heaven and Earth.

'That is some terrifying strength there!'

Lin Fan frowned. He could tell that these four were far from simple. However, he had not expected that once they joined forces together, they would seal every single opportunity of survival and escape for him.

The four commanders were existences that couldn't be compared to any other ordinary ancient race beings.

At the same time, Lin Fan was gradually beginning to understand why the ancient race could continue to oppress the beings of the thousands of races out there for such a long time.

At this moment, even if a desolate celestial full cultivation state being were to appear, he would definitely be disintegrated into mere dust in the hands of these commanders.

'So Near, Yet So Far!'

Lin Fan's body shifted like an agile snake as his feet swiveled around with the powers of the Yin and Yang along the Heaven and Earth. With a single point of his finger, a dense number of apertures ruptured through the void, as though it was made out of paper.

Doomsday Calamity God Fist!

Black Tiger Steals Heart!

Twisting Heaven and Earth!

...

Instantly, Lin Fan's True Skill seeds began to churn as well, as each and every one of them gave off a brilliant glow. The light being emanated was razor sharp, as it pierced through the layers of time and space.

Brilliantly dazzling, the light spread out in the entire place.

Going on the offense, Lin Fan had immediately employed a couple of his ultimate moves, bent on going all out against the four commanders.

"Just what sort of a background does this human have? To think that he could deploy so many ultimate moves in a single breath!"

"Look at the sheer size of those True Skill seeds as well! Just how in the world did he cultivate them?"

"Hmph! So what if he's strong? Against the four of us together, he doesn't stand a chance!"

Despite being rattled by Lin Fan's strength, the four commanders still maintained their advantage. After all, so what if his True Skill seeds were stronger? He was still an ant against the combined might of the four of them.

The first commander, Gu Haitian, moved like a dragon. Every single breath he took caused a huge amount of Saint Spirit Qi to burst forth.

'Ancient Saint World's Heaven Will's Booster Complete!'

'Gigantic Whirling Ancient Saint Punch!'

Suddenly, the pitch black skin of his gleamed with a bright golden shade. This gold colored light was brought down from the Heavens under the booster of the Heaven's Will of the Ancient Saint World. At the same time, as his mighty punch struck out, it felt as if a miniature world were pummelling down towards Lin Fan.

The spirit of the Doomsday Calamity God Fist was strong enough to devastate the entire world. However, against the might of this single punch by the commander, even the spirit was being forced back to the brink of destruction.

'Annihilate the living!'

Each of the other three commanders began to unleash their ultimate moves as well. The void began to quake violently, as though the entire world was about to be destroyed.

Under the face of this absolute power, anyone would be forced into submission naturally.

'Damn it! Because these four made the first move with the sneak attack, I'm now being pushed into a disadvantage.' Lin Fan's eyes shone coldly as he struggled against their offensive attacks. The four of them had a continuous stream of aura that was interconnected. No matter which direction Lin Fan attacked from, it would receive a burst of strength immediately.

At the same time, Lin Fan could not help but despise the cheapness of this Heaven's Will in the Ancient Saint World. It was just blatantly helping the ancient race for free!

By now, Lin Fan's defenses were finally broken through by the four commanders and their attacks.

All of them let out a look of excitement as they hollered together, "SEIZE THE CHANCE!"

BAM!

A massive amount of energy burst forth from the four of them, turning into a ball before culminating to form a gigantic dragon that rocketed out towards Lin Fan.

With Lin Fan as the center, the aftershock of the mighty attack rippled out in all directions, destroying all the buildings and structures in the vicinity. In fact, even some of the ancient race soldiers who were nearer to the blast impact were turned into a mess of blood altogether.

"S-strong!"

"Is that human dead yet?"

"HAHA! Long live our four commanders!"

Catching sight of this earthshattering battle, all of the ancient race soldiers were exhilarated to no ends. This was the might of their revered four commanders! This was power that no man in this world could go against!

On the other hand, the captives were filled with nothing but anguish at this sight.

They could tell that the human was extremely strong. However, there was just no chance of a comeback for him against these four commanders.

...

Looking at the scene before them, the four commanders smirked. They were extremely clear about the power of that single attack. Even they themselves might not be able to survive the attack under the same circumstances. Needless to say, there was no way this human could get out of it alive for sure.

However, all four of them had their faces changed suddenly as they could sense the situation in the aftermath of the attack. In fact, Gu Haitian's eyeballs nearly popped out as he exclaimed in shock.

"H-HOW COULD THIS BE? What the f*ck is that thing that could defend against our mighty attack? This is an attack that even we ourselves may not be able to block! How could a single cauldron looking thing block it? What is that treasure even? A dao weapon? An utmost treasure?"

"This human has had such a miraculous encounter upon appearing here. That must be a defensive treasure for sure!"

"Don't panic now! As long as the four of us continue to seal up this entire place, we can definitely kill him!"

The other three commanders had looks of lust within their eyes as well. To think that this human would possess a defensive treasure of such caliber!

For it to defend against an attack of that might, that must be a dao weapon at least! In fact, it might even be a supreme grade dao weapon! Otherwise, there was no way it wouldn't budge at all in the face of all that!

"This human's fighting strength is nowhere near ours. Even if he has this dao weapon, it won't help him take us down. Even if were to try, we'll mow him down!" The fourth commander, Gu Zhantian, hollered.

...

At that very last moment, Lin Fan no longer wanted to defend. No matter how strong these guys were, there was no point for him to continue wasting his stamina with them.

These four possessed an innate advantage over him. Thinking back, if he were to take on this one versus four and retaliate, that would definitely take quite a toll on him.

Lin Fan did not like stuff like this where he would always be on the losing end.

The Heaven and Earth Smelt was a godly item that was crafted through the System. It could smelt everything within this world. Therefore, its defensive capabilities were naturally frightening as well.

When the tremendous might of the four commanders landed on the Heaven and Earth Smelt, it didn't even budge a single inch nor reacted against it at all. Their attack was simply dissipated in all directions naturally.

Hidden within the Heaven and Earth Smelt, Lin Fan rubbed his chin and grinned coldly as he entered Stealth mode.

BAM!

The doors of the smelt opened up with a slam. The four commanders focused their attention, awaiting the exit of that human. However, no matter how long they waited, there was no one coming out of it.

They were puzzled for a moment.

Suddenly, their faces changed.

"HE'S OVER THERE…!"

Chapter 530: One Smack To Fall!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

The four commanders had not expected for Lin Fan to appear in another direction altogether! They were all glaring intently at this weird looking smelt the entire time, awaiting the exit of Lin Fan. To think that he could have escaped their watchful eyes?

Suddenly, the first commander shouted with a shrill voice, "Gu Zhantian, go over there and delay the human! We'll take down this treasure of his!"

"Alright." Gu Zhantian nodded in agreement, "He's now all alone without his treasure. I'll definitely be more than enough to take him down!"

"Hmph. Wanna steal my treasure? Dream on!" Lin Fan gave off a holler. Instantly, the Heaven and Earth Smelt shook violently as though it wanted to break through these obstructions and return to Lin Fan's side.

"Seal!"

The three commanders smirked coldly as they slapped out with a flurry of palm strikes. Each and every single one of these palm strikes turned into a thin line of their own, eventually forming a gigantic net that covered the entire Heaven and Earth Smelt. With that, that entire region around the Heaven and Earth Smelt was sealed entirely by the three commanders.

Looking at that, Lin Fan grinned as well.

They fell for it.

But of course, they wouldn't have done it if he hadn't given them that bit of pressure.

'To think that this treasure would try to resist!' The three commanders looked at the constant ramming of the Heaven and Earth Smelt. With every single ram the Heaven and Earth Smelt made, the strength of their seal decreased by a little.

"We'll convert it over now! Gu Zhantian! If you can kill that human, do it by all means! If you can't, delay him! Once we're done converting this treasure over to our side, we'll join in and assist you!" The first commander, Gu Haitian, slapped out with a flurry of palm strikes once more, firming up the seal even further.

"Don't worry! He's just a mere human. I can take him down with the back of my hands." Gu Zhantian glared at Lin Fan coldly, his fighting intent bursting through the Heavens.

At this moment, Gu Zhantian was like a longsword that had descended from the firmament itself, his aura ever so menacing.

An aura of this level was terrifying beyond words. It was so strong that the void around him was rippling due to his might, as beams of bright light pierced through the void from him.

Suddenly, a blood red pike appeared in his hands.

'Soul Rendering Pike!'

There were a lot of weird looking runes and symbols inscribed on the body of the pike. At the same time, there were two burning balls of light around it. It was as though the scorching sun was plucked down from the Heavens and infused directly into this pike.

Medium grade dao weapon, Soul Rendering Pike.

The moment the fourth commander, Gu Zhantian, wielded this pike in his hands, his power level seemed sturdier than ever, as though a sword had just been unsheathed.

Piercing through the void, the battle intent was unparalleled. It seemed as if no one could stand against him.

"Human, you ought to feel proud of yourself. There has been no other ant from the thousands of races out there who had been able to force out my Soul Rendering Pike. Today, I shall use your fresh blood as tribute for my pike!" Gu Zhantian looked at Lin Fan with a cold glare.

The ancient race was the ancient race indeed. To think that he could easily produce a dao weapon just like that, and a medium grade at that.

Lin Fan's only goal right now was to take down this commander. Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, the combined strength of the four of them was still something tricky to deal with.

At the same time, if this Gu Zhantian could possess a medium grade dao weapon, the three of them should most definitely have their own as well.

Lin Fan took a look at his experience points. He was about to level up right now. After taking this fella down, he should be able to level up once more and receive yet another spike in his power level. By then, he would stand an even greater chance against them.

"Go to hell!"

Suddenly, a massive glow of light burst forth from Gu Zhantian as the Soul Rendering Pike in his arms started to swivel. The head of the pike swirled violently and pierced through the void like a dragon on its own. With a gentle jerk, ripples burst forth from its head, expanding out in all directions, and gradually getting bigger till the entire void was covered.

'Heaven's Energy Strike!'

Gu Zhantian had a good mastery of the pike. Just this single move was enough to block out all possible paths of escape for Lin Fan. In fact, the ripples that were appearing now in all directions were filled with the intent of the pike as well.

'He's getting stronger now. Making use of his Soul Rendering Pike, Gu Zhantian is able to deploy his strongest pike skill. This is way more powerful than when he was fighting barehanded.' Lin Fan frowned. Wielding the Eternal Axe, he clashed head-on with the Soul Rendering Pike. In fact, Lin Fan could even feel the other party having the upper hand in terms of fighting strength.

'Flying Heavens!'

Without anyone noticing, Lin Fan had already kept his Flying Heavens hidden underground. Even though he did not know if this would work out, as long as it could even disturb Gu Zhantian, then it would have served its purpose at the very least.

"To think that a single human like you would be in possession of this many treasures! Even this axe itself seems pretty extraordinary!" Greed was spelled all over Gu Zhantian's face. Twisting his wrist, his pike jerked as the two balls of lights bolted out towards Lin Fan, trying to seize this opportunity to take him down. However, at that moment, something happened beneath the ground.

"What's this?" As a desolate celestial full cultivation powerful being, Gu Zhantian was naturally sharp towards his surroundings with his refined senses. Nothing could escape from him, let alone this massive surge of disturbance.

'DESPICABLE!'

Gu Zhantian did not dare to act carelessly. Flinging his Soul Rendering Pike, he flung away from the Eternal Axe and escaped from his initial position.

PSHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Flying Heavens burst forth at where he was. However, it hit nothing.

Lin Fan did not panic due to it. He was in no hurry to kill Gu Zhantian. Pointing out his finger, he tore a hole in the void. Making use of the confusion, Lin Fan's palm shook gently as a white mist gradually entered the void.

"Hmph, the human race is despicable indeed. However, I've seen through all your tricks! Let's see what else you've got!" Gu Zhantian laughed coldly. Stepping forth, it was as though he was one with his pike. At the same time, before he employed his pike techniques, he had already deployed numerous other skills, hiding them within his pike arts.

As long as Lin Fan dared to receive the blow, the damage dealt would definitely be devastating.

Through his exchange with Gu Zhantian, Lin Fan was beginning to realize his shortcomings. He calmed down his heart and began to focus slowly.

'Firmament!'

'Destruction!'

Even though he had only unlocked two of the Heaven Splitting three stances, the consumption of True Energy was incredibly scary.

"Not bad! But, that's far from enough!" Gu Zhantian's eyes glimmered. With a single sweep of his pike, he was bent on splitting the entire world open.

'Soul Rendering Pike, Total Annihilation!'

With a maddened holler, Gu Zhantian unleashed his ultimate move. The three other commanders who were busy trying to refine the Heaven and Earth Smelt looked over and smirked as they saw Gu Zhantian's move.

Seemed like this was it for the human.

However, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

"W-what's this?" Gu Zhantian was bewildered and confused by the mist of white smoke that had appeared before him suddenly. Just as he was about to slap it away, he realized that something strange was happening within his body!

"Heh! Seems like it's still useful." Lin Fan smirked. He bolted towards Gu Zhantian with his left hand behind his back. And of course, a bright, red brick appeared in Lin Fan's left hand.

'Doomsday Calamity God Fist!'

Lin Fan's right hand turned into the shape of a pummelling fist as his energy rumbled. The spirit of the towering Doomsday Calamity God appeared howling from Lin Fan's fist.

Gu Zhantian did not know what this b*stard had done to him. However, he could sense a surge of energy he had never ever felt before rising through his body, taking over his entire soul.

But how could he just give in to this thing and let it have its way? He tried to use his True Skill seed to suppress the urge. First, he had to take down this damned human!

"GO TO HELL!" Gu Zhantian yelled as the Soul Rendering Pike turned larger. Piercing through the void, he charged at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's expression did not change. He was going to clash with the Soul Rendering Pike with his indestructible body!

BAM!

"WHAT?" Gu Zhantian was startled. How could this human's physical body state be this strong? To think that the pike could only pierce through his body a little and could not penetrate any further! It was as though it was stopped by some unknown force!

Suddenly, Gu Zhantian's face changed as well. He could tell of the evil intents on the smirking face of this human!

'Nine Five Legendary Brick! One smack to fall!'

BAM!

Chapter 531: Truly Dumb
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

'Unbreakable Imperishability!'

Gu Zhantian snapped back to his senses in an instant as a glowing aura shielded his body. However, to Gu Zhantian's horror, the red colored brick seemed to be ignoring his defenses entirely as it knocked straight onto the back of his head!

Even though there wasn't any feeling, his head felt as though it was slammed by a torrent of water, putting him in a daze.

"Hmph! You think you can remain standing after receiving Yours Truly's Nine Five Legendary Brick? That's a fool's dream!" Lin Fan laughed coldly as he slammed down against the head of Gu Zhantian. It had been a long time since the Nine Five Legendary Brick had unleashed its fullest potential.

Well, it was time to let this so-called commander be the test bed for it then.

"H-how could this be?"

Gu Zhantian's face was entirely stumped. However, he collapsed with a thud instantly.

Right now, the other three commanders were still working hard at trying to refine the Heaven and Earth Smelt. However, to think that this thing was so damn tough! Even with their combined forces, they were unable to refine it at all! This was something that was impossible in their eyes.

"Not good! Gu Zhantian has fallen!" Suddenly, the three of them noticed what was happening in the distance as they exclaimed in shock. To think that the human would be able to take down Gu Zhantian!

Looking at the fainted Gu Zhantian, Lin Fan kept the Nine Five Legendary Brick back into his storage.

'Slay!'

Lin Fan did not hesitate at all as he chopped down on Gu Zhantian. As one of the four commanders, his cultivation state was extremely high. After killing this guy, Lin Fan would definitely receive a huge amount of experience points, causing his cultivation state to climb up as well.

"STOP…!" The three commanders howled out in horror at the sight of this. How could they allow Gu Zhantian to be killed by that damned human?

However, it was all too late. They were way too smitten by the Heaven and Earth Smelt, and were thus too far away from Lin Fan right now.

Lin Fan slammed down with his Eternal Axe at the fainted Gu Zhantian, who couldn't even resist a single bit in that state.

'Ding…Congratulations on killing desolate celestial full cultivation being Gu Zhantian.'

'Ding…Experience points +100,000'

'Ding…Congratulations on leveling up.'

'Ding…Cultivation State: Azure celestial full cultivation state.'

Instantly, Lin Fan could feel a surge of energy rising through his body. This was the boost in power that came with leveling up. This energy was way stronger than anything he had ever experienced before.

'HAHA!'

Lin Fan laughed out maniacally. He could sense an obstruction from the unknowns blocking his way forward. This was the barrier for one to cross if they wanted to turn into a desolate celestial. However, for Lin Fan, something like this could easily be crossed with experience points.

Suddenly, Lin Fan's body was filled with an invincible form of energy. It was as though he could even take down the gods themselves with this.

"DAMNED HUMAN! HOW DARE YOU KILL GU ZHANTIAN?" The first commander, Gu Haitian, howled out in anger as the energy emanating from him turned berserk and wild.

They had lived together for such a long time, and that too with little differences. So, they naturally shared a deep relationship. To think that Gu Zhantian would be killed by a mere human! How could this not infuriate them?

Lin Fan ignored the three other commanders as he swept his robes and tossed the body of Gu Zhantian into the Demon City. A desolate celestial full cultivation being... The amount of energy he could harness was definitely going to be amazing. This would definitely be a magnificent booster for Demon City!

The moment the other ancient race soldiers witnessed one of their four commanders, Gu Zhantian, being slain by the human, they fell into a complete state of shock, as though the entire sky had fallen upon them.

They could not believe that the seemingly almighty commander in their eyes could have been taken down by a lone human! How could they take in this reality?

As for the captive beings of the thousands of races, they too were equally astounded.

Strong! He was way too strong!

They had never ever met such a strong human being! To think that he could even take down the undefeatable Gu Zhantian!

"Long live the human race!"

"Exterminate all the ancient race beings!"

"Hope is here! Finally! WE CAN FINALLY SEE HOPE ONCE MORE…!"

The tormented beings of the thousands of races clamored in excitement. All they needed was as savior! And right now, Lin Fan was the Messiah in all of their hearts!

Lin Fan stepped forth, grabbing out with his hand in a claw-like manner, "You three are truly fools. Refine the treasure of Yours Truly? Know your place. All I did was to mess around with you guys with a small trick, and I could already distract you this easily. All of you are way too dumb indeed."

The three commanders did not know the meaning of these words. However, in that instance, that Heaven and Earth Smelt, which they thought was almost refined over to their side, began to vibrate violently.

"What's going on?" Gu Haitian slapped it with his palm, infusing a large amount of energy within it, trying to suppress the Heaven and Earth Smelt. However, to his shock, the Heaven and Earth Smelt tore through the void and every single seal in its way, appearing right in front of Lin Fan.

"Suppress the treasure of Yours Truly? Really now, fools?" Lin Fan was extremely proud of his brains right now. Making use of the Heaven and Earth Smelt to block their combined attack gave them the illusion that this was a defensive treasure.

And indeed, as expected, all four of them fell for the bait. The time taken for the three of them to 'convert' the Heaven and Earth Smelt was more than enough of an opportunity for Lin Fan.

One on one?

Lin Fan was never ever afraid of a one on one. Now that he had killed Gu Zhantian, he was at an overwhelming advantage. Not only did he raise his cultivation state, the four of them were now one short. This would make reaping them a way easier task than before.

"DAMN IT!" The three commanders were thoroughly incensed by everything that was happening before them right now. They could not wait to tear Lin Fan up into bits and pieces.

To think that they could have fallen for the ploys of this human!

"HUMAN! I'LL MAKE SURE I KILL YOU TODAY!" Gu Haitian howled out once more as he tore through the void with massive strides. A multitude of black beams burst forth from behind his back as they pierced through everything and headed in Lin Fan's direction.

Keeping the Heaven and Earth Smelt in his storage, Lin Fan's eyes shone with disdain.

This was the time for him to exhibit his true strength.

So what if he were a desolate celestial full cultivation being? Yours Truly was going to take down everything in his path today and attain that desolate celestial cultivation state as well!

"Let us join forces and employ our strongest move to take down this human here and now!" The second commander, Gu Zhengtian, had his eyes shine with fury. To think that this human would be strong enough to be able to kill Gu Zhantian!

They would no longer be careless with his cultivation state. Furthermore, the other party was in possession of an utmost defensive treasure!

However, in the Despair City, they were the gods. No matter who it was that came forth, they must leave their corpses here!

"ALRIGHT!" The third commander, Gu Batian, roared. Waving his arm, he sent a flurry of fists into the void as well.

'Heaven's Will Enmity Execution!'

The three commanders joined forces with their ultimate moves, as they summoned the powers of the Heaven's Will as a booster, engaging Lin Fan in a focused onslaught.

Okay, for those of you who may be confused, if I’m not wrong, the Heaven and Earth Smelt is a product of the System itself. Therefore, no matter what happens, the allegiance of the Heaven and Earth Smelt will not change away from Lin Fan. This is from my point of view as a fellow lover of the novel! Feel free to let me know of your opinions haha! Cheers!

Chapter 532: Retaliating Casually
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

In reality, Lin Fan's azure celestial full cultivation had quite the gap to cross against the desolate celestial cultivation state. However, the presence of the System turned every impossibility into a possibility.

Cultivating True Skill seeds to raise his power level along with all sorts of devious methods, even a desolate celestial was nothing to him.

A boundless amount of Heaven's Will shone down from the Heavens onto the three commanders. At the same time, the True Skill seeds within all of their bodies were rampaging berserk right now, producing a limitless amount of power.

This immense power pierced through the Heaven and Earth, heading straight for Lin Fan.

"Human, remember this! The ancient race shall not tolerate you trampling on us! To us, all of you beings of the thousands of races out there are nothing but ants!" The three commanders yelled out as the Blood Qi within their bodies rumbled furiously.

"Damn. Aren't you shameless, Heaven's Will? To think that you would assist them so blatantly!" Lin Fan could not help but scoff contemptuously as he sensed the protection the Heaven's Will was falling onto them. But even so, Lin Fan wasn't afraid.

All they wanted was a fight, wasn't it? Who was afraid of whom?

'Twisting Heaven and Earth!'

With a war cry, Lin Fan's fingers grasped out into the void like a claw. A tuft of black and white smoke fused together in the claw-like shape of his hands as it swiveled continuously.

Ever since he had cultivated the True Skill seeds, his Twisting Heaven and Earth had turned even stronger. Grabbing out, his hand could reach any part of this world.

Lin Fan set his sights on the crotches of the three commanders, readying himself for the deadliest attack in the world.

'Black Tiger Steals Heart!'

'Nirvana Finger!'

Combining all his other special moves, Lin Fan struck out with everything he had, causing the void to tear apart rapidly as he clashed against the powers of the three commanders.

"Just where in the world did this human come from! To think that we're not able to take him down even with the blessings of the Heaven's Will!"

"Kill…KILL! WE MUST DEFINITELY KILL HIM!"

'Ancient Demon Suppression Fist!'

The vast sky was covered by the fists of the three commanders. Each of these fists was mighty and gigantic, just like meteorites. Carrying a devastating power with every single fist, they crashed down towards Lin Fan.

"Hmph! You guys fell for it again!" Suddenly, Lin Fan smirked coldly. Shifting his body nimbly, he grabbed out with his claw-like hands as he cried out.

'TWISTING HEAVEN AND EARTH!'

All the Twisting Heavens and Earths that were hidden within the void appeared suddenly, grabbing out at the crotches of the three commanders at lightspeed.

Sensing the vibrations of the void near them, the faces of the three commanders changed, "Watch out!"

'Shrink!'

"Huh…?" Lin Fan frowned, somewhat in disbelief. To think that they would have this trick up their sleeves to be able to shrink the object in their groin into their bodies!

"Despicable and cheap human! Your skill shall do nothing to us!" The three of them yelled together at Lin Fan, killing intent shining in their eyes.

They were thoroughly irked by this human before them.

'Ancient Battle Body!'

Glancing at one another, a black burst of light shone out from their bodies. This black beam of light caused the entire Despair City to be shrouded in a mist of darkness.

"Human! You've successfully riled us! Today, we shall let you know the true meaning of horror!"

Within those black beams of light, three towering giants stood and howled, glaring at Lin Fan with bloodshot eyes.

"What's this new trick now?" Lin Fan was bewildered. However, he wasn't too bothered by it as he wielded his Eternal Axe and cleaved at the three commanders instantly.

'Firmament!'

A flash of axe light pierced through the layers of the void, slamming straight at one of the giants. As the Eternal Axe clashed with the sturdy body of the giant, a metallic clanging sound rang through the void.

'To think that it would be so tough.' Lin Fan frowned in disbelief. Just what sort of a secret technique did these three employ for the physical body state of that giant to become so sturdy?

'DIE…!'

Seizing Lin Fan's moment of freezing up, a gigantic pair of fists appeared on his left before exploding in his face.

BOOM!

The sheer power of those fists was way too frightening.

'Ding…Eternal Immortality Experience Points +10,000'

"So much?" Upon hearing the notifications from the system, Lin Fan was startled once more. To think that this thing would give off such a huge amount of experience points! This was unexpected!

However, the rumbling of his blood within his body had Lin Fan understanding the true power of that blow. If not for the Mythical Parasol Tree and Blood Sea, he might not have been able to withstand that at all.

Lin Fan's head started tinkering. He had thought up of a plan. This was an opportunity that he could not miss.

"All three of you trashes! Wanna kill me? Naïve! Come forth at me with all your strength!" Lin Fan moved about nimbly as his gaze sharpened. He was searching for the right amount of strength.

The three commanders were ferocious beyond words. Some of their attacks were blows that even Lin Fan dared not to receive directly with his bare body.

'Ding…Eternal Immortality Experience Points +10,000'

...

The situation had undergone a 180-degree change right now. As the ancient race soldiers caught sight of their three great commanders raining blow after blow on that human, they erupted out in cheers.

That was right! Their three commanders were invincible existences! How could a darned human compete against their might?

However, for the beings of the thousands of races, this was a tragic sight to behold. All of the hope that had lit up within their hearts earlier on was now dimming down gradually.

That human did not even have the strength to fight back against the blows of the three commanders.

"DON'T GIVE UP…!"

"PLEASE DON'T DIE…!"

The beings of the thousands of races out there screamed at the top of their lungs. Even though they knew that the human wouldn't be able to hear their cheers in the midst of all the chaos, this was the only way for them to allow the flame of hope in their heart to continue burning on.

'Ding…Congratulations. Eternal Immortality has leveled up.'

'Ding…Physical Body State: Azure Celestial Middle Level.'

After being whacked for just a few rounds, Lin Fan's physical body state had gone up. What a bargain this was to him!

Yours Truly might be the only being in this world who could resist the blows of desolate celestial beings with just an azure celestial physical body state.

"Human! Are you cowering under our might so badly that you have given up on resisting?" The first commander, Gu Haitian, laughed out wildly. Every single punch of his met its mark. Against this absolute power, the only outcome that awaited the human was death.

How could a lone human think that he could go against the ancient race?

The reign of the ancient race was a rule of life that was unchangeable since the ancient times!

"Hmph…" Lin Fan snorted coldly in a casual retaliation.

The moment he found out that every single strike brought for him these many experience points, he had decided to let them have their way wilfully. Nothing else mattered other than him raising his physical body state right now.

However, in order to give the three commanders some sense of hope, he would casually fight back for a little every once in a while.

But of course, the retaliation was just a weak and feeble attempt.

How could he afford to scare off the three of them with any of his strikes?

He had to continue giving them hope!

Boundless, endless hope!

Chapter 533: Erupt Forth, My Dear Biggra!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

"What the hell is up with this human? Why do I get the feeling that he's toying with us?" Gu Haitian was raining down his fists onto the body of this human. At the start, he thought that his fists were more than enough to kill this human being.

However, to his surprise, this human would stand up time and again, as if it was nothing to him at all.

"Impossible! This human must be making his final struggles with his energy level depleting rapidly. It won't be long now before we suppress him completely!"

"That's right! The reason for him being able to survive so long must be due to that defensive treasure he possesses. However, that treasure couldn't possibly have an infinite power! A large amount of its energy must be expended in order to defend against every single one of our strikes!"

After hearing the analysis of the other two commanders, Gu Haitian was gradually buying back into their words as well.

'That's right. This human mustn't have too long left.'

"Ha, look! He's starting to retaliate! But, he is simply way too weak!" The third commander, Gu Batian, snorted in contempt. With a single punch, he caused the impact of Lin Fan's attack to dissipate immediately as he burst forth towards Lin Fan.

'Soooooooooooooooooooo good…!' Lin Fan felt like he was a little boat riding the waves of pleasure right now, floating about aimlessly without any destination in mind.

Surges of energy burst forth from all directions, crashing down on this little boat constantly.

'Ding…Congratulations. Eternal Immortality has leveled up.'

'Physical Body State: Azure celestial upper level.'

'Levelled once more!' Lin Fan's heart leaped with joy. This was the best feeling ever!

Looking at the three of them expending all their efforts relentlessly without any complaints of fatigue, Lin Fan was heartened. Where else could he look for such hardworking people?

He wondered what sort of physical body state these three commanders could bring him to.

Lin Fan's heart was filled with anticipation right now. How great would it be if they could bring him up to desolate celestial full cultivation state?

But of course, this was all just one sided thoughts on Lin Fan's part.

Time passed by the seconds and minutes.

One by one, the ancient race ants began to quieten down as a look of horror began to spread in those hideous pitch black faces of theirs.

And that was because, it had been a long time since the human had been pummelled up, down, left, and right in the hands of the three commanders. However, he stood up time and again as though he just couldn't die!

The beings of the thousands of races out there were equally dumbfounded. Even those of the Giant race wouldn't have such a resilient lifeforce as this human!

With every single strike of the three commanders, the skies changed colors, as though the entire world was about to be destroyed. Yet, it was as if there was no impact on the human at all, as he stood up time and again after each and every single attack!

Time after time.

Now that such a long period of time had passed, they were entirely flabbergasted.

"Is this a human…or a god?"

'Ding…Congratulations. Eternal Immortality has leveled up.'

'Physical Body State: Azure celestial full cultivation state.'

Upon hearing the notifications from the system, Lin Fan's lips curled into a smile once more. He had leveled up again.

On the other hand, the expressions of the three commanders were beyond shocked right now, as they refused to believe the sight before their very eyes.

"Are you a human…or a god?" Gu Haitian's hands were trembling right now. To think that a human could withstand their attacks for such a long time!

Every single punch hit their mark. Every single punch brought with it an explosion.

How in the world was he still alive?

"Oh, make a guess…!" Lin Fan chuckled casually. This time around, he had truly earned big by making his way to the Despair City! Not only did he raise his cultivation state, he raised his physical body state as well!

But where in the bloody world was the Marquis of Despair?

Could it truly be as they had mentioned? Was he truly not in Despair City right now?

Based on Lin Fan's understanding of the Righteous Party, there was no way their news could be so accurate!

Upon hearing these words of Lin Fan, the three commanders were incensed once more.

"Guess your mother…!"

Lin Fan took a quick check of his Mythical Parasol Tree and realized that the Mythical Parasol Tree had expended quite a fair amount of lifeforce.

The reason why he could hold on till now was all due to the Mythical Parasol Tree and Blood Sea's efforts. If he didn't possess them, Lin Fan wouldn't have dared to receive their blows with such ease, even if he had ten times the guts.

"Alright, it's time for our little games to end now. Next up, it's about time I kill you guys." Sweeping his robes, Lin Fan chuckled casually to the three commanders.

"HUMAN! YOU'RE WAY TOO BRAZEN!" Upon this damned human's remarks, the three commanders were agitated badly, as if thunderbolts were about to burst forth from their heads. They had truly never met someone who had dared to get so insolent with them!

But right now, the bewildering thing was the type of method this human was employing for him to take in all of their attacks, as though it was nothing.

"Hehe…" Lin Fan giggled calmly as he waved his hands gently. Instantly, the void began to ripple as a white mist began to surge out, spreading out through the entire area.

'Biggra makes me invincible.' This was the Biggra in Lin Fan's eyes.

Countless powerful enemies had found themselves bending down against the might of Biggra so far.

Once Lin Fan became the utmost being of this entire universe, he swore that he would definitely give Biggra a rightful title that it deserved.

"What…is this…?" Looking at the white mist that was spreading out, Gu Haitian frowned. Punching out with his fist, he tried to clear the white mist. However, the white mist gathered again almost immediately.

The other two commanders were forced to retreat consistently against the invading Biggra mist. Slapping out repeatedly into the void, they formed a barrier as they tried to keep this white mist at bay.

However, to their shock, the white mist sifted through the layers of the void easily, disregarding the defenses of the barrier completely. This was something completely impossible in their eyes!

Lin Fan took a look at the three commanders and commented casually, "There's no way you guys can kill me. On the other hand, it isn't impossible for me to kill you guys. All I require is that little bit more effort, that's all. However, it's all worth it right now."

"DAMNED HUMAN!" The three commanders did not dare to tread forth without knowing what this white mist was.

However, even then, the white mist was still inching towards them bit by bit. Suddenly, the mist rumbled altogether, as it turned into a gigantic dragon and howled out balefully at the three commanders.

PSHEW!

The roar of the dragon rang through the skies as it tunneled through the three commanders.

The commanders tried their best to defend against the attack of this dragon. To their surprise, there was no damage done by that humongous dragon, as it just made its way through them without inflicting any injuries!

"HAHA! Bunch of tricks! Here we were, worried that it might be something great. Turns out that it's just nothing!" The three commanders began to laugh out maniacally.

They had thought that this would be an extremely strong skill, only to find out that it was nothing but a farce, and that was all!

"Hmph, human! You've used up all your means! It's our turn now!" The three commanders glared at Lin Fan coldly.

Lin Fan looked at them and grinned, "Don't you feel anything different about your bodies?"

"Different? HAHA! The only feeling we've got wanting to slice you into pieces!" The three of them gave off a cold chuckle.

"Eh…?" Suddenly, Gu Zhengtian's face changed and his pupils dilated, as though something was about to happen. Following tightly afterward were the other two commanders. They were all beginning to feel something strange.

"You…YOU…!" Gu Haitian pointed his trembling finger unbelievingly at Lin Fan. It was as though he was about to say something, but was choking at the last moment.

...

"Erupt forth, my dear Biggra!" Lin Fan smiled brightly as he raised up both of his hands.

The golden age was about to flourish.

Chapter 534: Promote!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

"W-what are you looking at me for?" The moment Gu Zhengtian caught sight of Gu Haitian's gaze at him, his heart stopped for a moment, as though some part of him was being eyed on.

"What are you trying to do?" Suddenly, before he had even realized, Gu Haitian had appeared beside him on his right side. With a deep voice and heavy breathing, he huffed out a steaming puff of hot air onto Gu Zhengtian's cheeks, causing him to break out in cold sweat.

...

"What's up with our commanders…?"

"Why are they just standing there without moving at all?"

Looking at the scene in the distance, all the ancient race soldiers were extremely puzzled, wondering what was going on with their mighty commanders who were now motionless.

However, they suddenly realized that the second commander was sandwiched in between the first and third commander! Their hearts skipped a beat.

They were especially frightened of the image of those towering pillars at the crotch areas of their commanders.

It shouldn't be that case…right?

The beings of the thousands of races out there were equally stumped.

Even though they did not know what had happened to cause the three commanders to behave like this, they knew that there must definitely be some sort of correlation with that mighty and noble human being over there.

That human being must have employed some sort of move to bewitch their souls, in order to cause them to commit such savage acts of disharmony!

"Commanders! You guys can't do that! The dignity of our ancient race…!" One of the ancient race soldiers who was witnessing history in the making spat out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth.

The three commanders were the highest ranking officers in the entire Despair City! To think that they would commit such sinful acts before their fellow ancient race soldiers!

Lin Fan's eyes were prickling right now as well. To think that these three shameless fellas would indulge in such an eyesore before their very eyes! How…outrageous!

'Twisting Heaven and Earth!'

Instantly, the void vibrated as multiple pairs of hands stretched out, grabbing at that ultimate location.

The three commanders were entirely mesmerized by Biggra right now. If Lin Fan were to head up there personally and end up activating their innate carnal instincts, that would be disastrous.

If anyone were to be foolish enough to try and stop any living beings who were under the effects of Biggra from venting out their pent-up frustrations, it would be akin to trying to snatch meat away from the jaws of a hungry tiger.

The moment Twisting Heaven and Earth was unleashed, all three commanders lost every single last bit of fighting strength they had.

'Destruction!'

A flash of axe glow appeared as the second stance of the Eternal Axe cleaved the void open, slicing the three commanders into pieces.

'Ding…Congratulations on killing Desolate celestial full cultivation being Gu Haitian.'

'Ding…Experience points +100,000'

'Ding…Congratulations on killing Desolate celestial full cultivation being Gu Batian.'

'Ding…Experience points +100,000'

...

The three commanders were snuffed out in an instant, as Lin Fan's experience points gushed up like a rising dragon.

'Ding…Congratulations on leveling up.'

'Ding…Cultivation State: Desolate celestial lower level.'

Suddenly, the barrier that was in place from azure celestial to desolate celestial was shattered into pieces immediately. As his power level spiked, his True Skill seeds churned rapidly as well, strengthening and becoming ever stronger than before.

Indeed…!

There was a world of a difference between azure celestial and desolate celestial cultivation state!

Furthermore, the four commanders were all old timers in the desolate celestial cultivation state realm, who had been trying their best to attain the sought after divine celestial cultivation state. However, perhaps their cultivation and training weren't enough to bring them through that barrier between cultivation states.

That was the reason why they could not enter that cultivation state which was even more godly than the gods themselves.

Lin Fan began to ponder and wonder just what sort of a realm one would be in upon attaining the divine celestial cultivation state.

There were notes within the Poison King's Ancient Saint World Secret Records. However, the records about that cultivation state were all incomplete.

Divine celestial cultivation state would open one up to an entirely brand new world. That was the true path for one to head up towards the Nine Heavens.

'Oh well, let's leave it for now first. After all, there's still some way to go from the current desolate celestial lower level to attain a divine celestial cultivation state. Thinking will only rack my brains for nothing.' Lin Fan thought to himself.

By now, the True Skill seeds within his body had finally stopped revolving. Their power level was now multiple times stronger than before.

If he were to meet these four so-called commanders right now, he had the confidence of slaying them all right on the spot, without the similar hassle from before.

Lin Fan took out his Demon City.

Grabbing the three corpses, the big ancient demon devoured them into its tummy and took them in instantly.

With an extremely high cultivation state, their spirits were extremely refined as well. This was a true nourishment for the big ancient demon.

BOOM!

A spiritual light burst forth from the big ancient demon, piercing through the skies before dissipating gradually.

"Eh…?" Lin Fan looked up at the big ancient demon, noticing that its power level had risen by a fair bit as well. To think that the supreme grade spirit weapon, Demon City, would show signs of a pending breakthrough!

But, perhaps the power level was barely sufficient right now, or maybe that the number of ancient race beings devoured was not enough.

Suddenly, Lin Fan turned his gaze to the entire Despair City.

One by one, the ancient race soldiers fell on the ground, crippled in fear. They had been thoroughly frightened to their bones by this human being.

To think that those four almighty commanders in their hearts would be slain by the human before them! If they had not witnessed it with their very eyes, they might not have believed the truth!

"DAMNED HUMAN! TO THINK THAT HE WOULD KILL OUR COMMANDERS! LET'S DUKE IT OUT WITH HIM!" The ancient race soldiers of the Despair City howled. Even though they were filled with fear, they went completely berserk right now.

"About time." Lin Fan smiled.

"Big ancient demon! Devour them!"

Even though he had not gathered the five elements yet, Demon City was already showing signs of a breakthrough upon the consumption of the four commanders. However, due to the lack of energy right now, it was stuck at a bottleneck. As long as he could devour all of the ancient race beings right here, Lin Fan could definitely bring Demon City up to become a Dao weapon instantly!

'Devouring Heavens and Earth!'

The big ancient demon hollered as his eyes shone with fury. Opening his wide mouth, he was bent on devouring the entire world altogether.

A typhoon formed, sucking all of the ancient race beings into the core of the vortex.

Tribuni, Centurions, and Decani et cetera…Every single last one of them were nothing but puny ants in the face of the big ancient demon. Even if they wanted to struggle and escape, they were instantly caught by Lin Fan nevertheless.

The power level was rising.

The skin of the big ancient demon glowed brightly as it grew even more dazzling, outshining the sun itself.

"Eat up, eat up! The more you eat, the better!" Lin Fan floated in the air, elated with the actions of the big ancient demon.

Looking at this figure floating in the skies, the beings of the thousands of races out there were entirely dumbfounded.

This was a demon god himself who was massacring the ancient race for free!

However, none of these captives were afraid of Lin Fan. On the contrary, they were filled with intense awe and admiration towards this man. The tragic wails of the ancient race soldiers who had once tortured and trampled upon them were nothing but music to their ears.

This was their radiant hope that was floating up in the sky, piercing through the shrouds of despair of the Despair City! Under the aura of the spreading hope, the Despair Beads that were floating around in Despair City began to disintegrate into dust one by one.

Just like that, a million ancient race soldiers were devoured by the big ancient demon.

However, even if it were a million of them, the energy provided by them was only merely comparable to that of the four commanders.

'Promote! Spirit weapon comprehension of the Dao! Formation of the Dao weapon!'

BOOM!

A light beam pierced straight up into the sky as the big ancient demon howled out in anger, exerting out a power that was formidable beyond words.

Chapter 535: The Four Great Paupers.
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

A brilliant city of demons loomed over the head of the big ancient demon, as all sorts of astral and demonic winds breezed around it, forming the perfect demon city. At the same time, there was a demon god who was spouting out golden incantations of sorts, along with a bright dazzling glow.

All of these captivated demons seemed to be immersed within a world of their own.

ROAR!

The Heaven and Earth trembled as golden lotuses filled the world, with a demonic aura bathing the Demon City in a godly presence.

"I am the big…" Suddenly, the eyes of the big ancient demon shone brightly. This sharp gaze was extremely imposing, as he took the entire Demon City into his palms.

"ANCIENT DEMON!"

The moment he hollered out these last two words, his massive aura erupted forth completely.

"S-so strong! Could this be the process by which a spirit weapon transforms into a dao weapon?" Lin Fan could feel his mental self rattling in the face of the might of this aura. It was almost 100 times stronger than before!

All the captives there were entirely stumped by the scene before them as well.

"Incredible! This treasure's promotion into a dao weapon is even stronger than any other average dao weapon out there!"

"Just what sort of a godly being is this human?"

Right now, Lin Fan was like a divine being in their eyes. With his dazzling long locks and his suave looks, along with that sharp gaze of his and hands behind his back, this single image of him was etched into the eyes of every single living being out there, to be remembered forever within their hearts.

'Soul Rendering Pike!'

'Heavenly Vajra Demonic Ring!'

'Demonic Earth Hammer!'

...

Lin Fan tossed all four dao weapons of the four commanders into the sky.

'Destroy!'

Creak.

With a single crack, all of the four weapons shattered apart instantly, as a current of energy rippled forth from the dao weapons, trying to leave this area.

With his heavenly encompassing palm, the big ancient demon grabbed the consciousness of the dao weapons and swallowed them whole into his tummy, causing his power level to spike up once more.

If anyone else in this world were to witness Lin Fan's act of destroying four dao weapons, they would surely spit out all their blood. Extravagant! This was so extravagant that one could break down from it!

But of course, Lin Fan had the utmost confidence that his skills of weapon crafting were second to none in this world. As long as he had the materials, Human weapons, Spirit weapons, Dao weapons, all of these would come without any difficulty at all!

BOOM!

A gigantic explosion surged forth from the big ancient demon. This was an explosion that sounded like the reshuffling and cracking of bones within his body.

This towering colossal big ancient demon instantly shot up to ten times his original height.

'Ding…Congratulations on promotion success.'

'Ding…Promoted to lower grade dao weapon.'

Raising his hand, Lin Fan grabbed at the Demon City and pulled it towards him. His heart was filled with glee right now. Strong! Way too strong!

Finally, it had been promoted to a dao weapon! Even though it might still be a lower grade dao weapon, Lin Fan knew that the power it possessed was stronger than even a middle-grade dao weapon.

"Master, I require the Shengyang Pills for cultivation." Suddenly, Lin Fan froze up for a moment. To think that the big ancient demon within the center of the Demon City would speak up!

"This…this…!"

Lin Fan was stunned right now. He had not expected the big ancient demon to obtain a consciousness of his own!

Even though he was astounded right now, there was a sense of elation that accompanied this feeling. This was it! He could finally see hope of the big ancient demon regaining its past glory!

Sweeping his robes, 1,000,000 Shengyang Pills formed a gigantic river of pills and floated into the Demon City. Opening his enormous mouth, the big ancient demon took in all the pills into his tummy and began cultivating them.

Lin Fan was now left with 2,000,000 Shengyang Pills. Seemed like he had to be conservative with his usage from now on. Just in case.

However, he was once again startled by the massive spike in the aura of the big ancient demon once more.

Azure celestial full cultivation state.

Desolate celestial lower level.

Desolate celestial middle level.

...

'What? Isn't this way too sick? ' Lin Fan could not help but acknowledge the big ancient demon, who was now a dao weapon of his. To think that the rate of his cultivation speed rising was as fast as pouring water! However, the moment he reached the desolate celestial middle level, the aura began to stabilize. Evidently, the 1,000,000 pills weren't enough for him to go beyond this.

Even though Lin Fan could cultivate the Shengyang Pills consistently with the Mythical Parasol Tree, judging from the rate of consumption of the big ancient demon, even the Mythical Parasol Tree's production rate might not be able to satiate its appetite for long.

Seemed like Lin Fan had to raid more secret treasures in the future.

Suddenly, something struck Lin Fan. That was right! Since the Marquis of Despair wasn't in the Despair City, there must be a f*ckload of treasures laying around here! Since he had already invaded and attacked straight into the Despair City, how could he let up all the treasures that were here?

"SENIOR! PLEASE SAVE US…!"

"SENIOR, PLEASE LET US OUT OF HERE…!"

By now, all the captives of the thousands of races out there began to clamor excitedly. They had not expected this human senior to be this strong! He was so strong that he could take down the entire Despair City singlehandedly, causing all four commanders to die right here, with all the other ancient race army devoured by that spirit weapon!

Terror! This man was the definition of terror!

If they had not witnessed it personally, they wouldn't have believed this at all!

With a wave of his hand, Lin Fan released all the prisoners of a cage within Despair City, allowing them to rescue their other comrades trapped in other cages. He then turned into a streak of light as he darted out towards the four spires.

Raid! The first thing he was going to do was to plunder the four commanders!

Those captives who were just released wanted to thank Lin Fan with their utmost gratitude. However, raising their heads, they realized that he had already flown off into the distance. Eventually, they could only prostate themselves onto the ground and pray up into the skies in respect, before hurrying to release their fellow comrades.

From the first commander's lair, three medium grade dao weapons, two supreme grade spirit weapons, and 500,000 Shengyang Pills were obtained.

From the second commander's lair… Poor! Extremely poor! There were only four supreme grade spirit weapons and 500,000 Shengyang Pills!

In the 3rd commander's lair was nothing. NOTHING! NOT EVEN A PAIR OF UNDERWEAR! THIS POOR NUDIST!

From the fourth commander's lair, Lin Fan got another 500,000 Shengyang Pills.

...

"The f*ck? As the four great commanders of the ancient race, how could these guys be as poor as beggars?" Lin Fan was extremely exasperated right now as he headed forth towards the direction of the Marquis of Despair's lair.

This was his last hope. If even the Marquis of Despair did not have anything valuable, he would truly be outraged big time!

But what Lin Fan did not know was that the four commanders of the Despair City had many underlings under them. As such, their expenses were extremely huge.

Furthermore, the four of them were only focused on trying to attain the divine celestial cultivation state, and were always in seclusion usually. Therefore, being able to even craft 500,000 Shengyang Pills was already a pretty decent achievement.

Each time they wanted to try attaining the divine celestial cultivation state, they would end up being a pauper straight after.

The first commander was in the process of trying to attain the divine celestial once more when Lin Fan appeared. That was the only reason why Lin Fan was able to obtain at least some dao weapons from his belongings. Otherwise, during every single attempt, all of these dao weapons would be converted into power and energy to assist them in their attempts.

Lin Fan came before a tightly shut door. This door was etched with all sorts of weird carvings. However, Lin Fan did not pay much attention to them. Right now, the only thing he was interested in was whether the things behind the door could be worth it all.

Lin Fan stretched out his hand of hope as he prayed in his heart.

'PLEASE DON'T DISAPPOINT ME…!'

Chapter 536: This Wasn't The Way This Script Was Meant To Be!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

In reality, Lin Fan was a young man who was easily contented. He didn't need the Marquis of Despair to be ultra rich, but there should be some respectable amount at the very least, shouldn't it?

Not much, really! Just perhaps somewhere in the ballpark figure of a few tens of millions of Shengyang Pills? 180 Dao weapons or so? That much will do.

Creak.

As the door swung open, a dazzling rainbow colored light shone out of it.

"Aiyah! It's so dazzling!" Lin Fan covered his eyes as his body trembled with excitement, "Too dazzling! I can't take it anymore! No more!"

It was embarrassing, but Lin Fan was hard right now, as though he had just witnessed the succubus of the century. His saliva was dripping down from his open mouth.

Rich! He had struck gold this time around!

Catching sight of everything before him, Lin Fan could not help but leap with joy.

Indeed, an existence like the Marquis of Despair must be living a really hollow and empty life! Someone like that must definitely have amassed a large amount of treasures in order to fill up the void in his heart!

The place was filled with Shengyang Pills piled up like mini mountains. The scene of this amount of Shengyang Pills was probably even criminal, as it could fill anyone with the impulse to dive right into them and grab them lustfully, before tossing them into their own bags.

This amount of Shengyang Pills formed a Shengyang Dragon of its own, coiling and swimming in the air.

Lin Fan gulped down his saliva. There were definitely at least 10,000,000 pills right here.

Spirit weapons and Dao weapons floated around in circles in the air one by one.

Taking in a deep breath, Lin Fan closed the door before releasing Demon City into the air.

Suddenly, all the Spirit and Dao weapons began to vibrate, as if they had discovered an invader in their midst. One by one, illusory figures appeared out of the weapons.

"Big ancient demon, you'll take care of these weapon spirits! I'll go for the pills." Lin Fan rubbed his palms together and ordered.

"Yes." The gaze of the big ancient demon shone brightly. To him, all of these weapons floating in the air were nothing but food!

The big ancient demon hollered out before pouncing at the weapons. He was bent on devouring all of them. As for Lin Fan, he leaped out towards the pills, grabbing them bunch after bunch.

"HAHA! I'm rich! Eh? There are other pills too! Not bad, not bad! It's been a really long time now since I've popped pills for leveling up! The fight earlier on has tuckered me out, man! Time to just be a pill junkie!" Lin Fan remarked in satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad! This Heavenly King's Way Pill tastes really sweet!" Lin Fan was living an extravagant life right now as he popped these pills into his mouth like they were completely free.

'Crunch, crunch, crunch. Delicious!'

Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Pill.

Heavenly Ascension Booster Pill.

Triple Fire Dragon Pill.

...

All of these were extremely precious pills with tons of miraculous usages, pills which the ancient race and beings of the thousands of races out there would go absolutely nuts over.

However, to Lin Fan, the only thing extraordinary about these pills were the number of experience points they gave.

Amongst them, there was even one pill which could increase one's cultivation speed by ten times! However, to Lin Fan, that effect was absolutely worthless.

There were so many ancient race beings in the Ancient Saint World out there for him to slay. Where would he even find time to sit down and cultivate?

Comfort…

Lin Fan was entranced in a state of indulgence right now. It had been a long time since he got to enjoy life as such.

Outside!

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Despair City.

A golden colored cloud was making its way towards the Despair City with haste. Thunder crackled from within the cloud, accompanied by many other figures. There was a mighty, gigantic dragon, a colossal and towering giant, and even some spirits who wielded thunderbolts in their hands.

The sound of war was imminent as the battle intent of that group filled the entire sky.

"Elder Dulong, we're reaching Despair City up ahead!" Looking at that massive Despair City, Xiesheng commented as his heart was pounding with nervousness right now.

The ancient race was extremely hostile and violent, preying on every single living being in this world. They were practically the devils of all devils.

The six major sects here had sent out a large number of disciples and thirty elders for this expedition, in order to take down the ancient race and rescue the beings of the thousands of races out there. Any amount they could save would be worth it.

Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect, Heaven Horn Sect, Ju Lingshen Sect, Shenzu Dian Sect, Water God Sect, et cetera…This was a mission they had undertaken extreme precautions for.

All of them knew how horrific the Marquis of Despair was. If the Marquis of Despair were in the Despair City right now, most of them would probably not be getting out alive.

Therefore, this was the best chance they had in capturing the entire place now.

"Hmph! This time around, the ancient race shall know of my might, the great Mu Longtian!" The haughty Mu Longtian's eyes shone with arrogance as his battle intent was raring right now. This time around, he was bent on having his name spread across the entire Ancient Saint World.

He was determined to have all the ancient race beings remember his name.

"Senior brother, our priority should be to rescue these people. We mustn't crave for battle." Xiesheng reminded him.

"What's there to be afraid of? The Marquis of Despair isn't even in the Despair City right now. What else do we have to be afraid of?" Mu Longtian retorted.

Xiesheng looked at Mu Longtian before sighing. His senior brother had a haughty disposition to begin with, and would never listen to the words of others.

"Junior Brother Xie, Senior Brother Mu is right. What do we have to be afraid of?" Long Yue'er continued.

"That's right, Junior Sister!" Mu Longtian nodded his head calmly before focusing his gaze up ahead.

The mood of the disciples of the six major sects was tense right now. This was the first time they were openly pitting themselves against the ancient race.

Even though they had a decent force of a few tens of thousands of people, this was still nothing compared to the sheer size of the ancient race army.

BOOM!

The golden cloud appeared above the skies of the Despair City and ruptured open. From within, a large number of beings from the Giant race leaped out with their massive bodies, forming a thousand feet tall giant.

The defensive capabilities of the Giant race were astoundingly strong as they landed on the ground with a thud.

"The Giant race has arrived! Prepare to receive your death, ancient race!" An elder of the Ju Lingshen Sect burst forth with a terrifying aura. They were the vanguards and shield for the expedition, blocking the ancient race outside so that those disciples from the other sects could make their way to rescue the beings of the thousands of races.

Instantly, some of the disciples from the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect transformed into hundred and thousand feet long dragons, howling malevolently.

Meanwhile, disciples from the Water God Sect were manipulating the weather, causing a slight drizzle to rain down upon the battlefield. These raindrops brought with them a massive amount of energy, bringing with them a healing and rejuvenating power as they landed on the bodies of the members of the six major sects.

The Shenzu Dian Sect, made up of the Wings race, emitted a saintly glow as they sang out, causing mysterious runes to float around in the air.

The godly scriptures and heavenly tunes filled the sky as an illusory image of the Heavens filled the air.

BOOM…BOOM!

The drums of battle were pounding loudly, invigorating the members of the six major sects with a boost in morale and heightened senses.

"Ancient race! Come on out and receive…death…?" Filled with a relentless battle intent and no fear of death, the members of the six major sects wanted to shout out with a war cry. However, they were all stumped suddenly.

"This…!"

They had made all preparations and were about to dive head front into the fortress. However, what was this?

Despair City!

Where were the ancient race beings gone?

The beings of the thousands of races out there, who were now free and roaming about, stared at this group of people blankly as well, wondering what they were up to.

The members of the six major sects viewed the beings of the thousands of races out there with equal bewilderment.

In the minds of the members of the six major sects, they had already thought of how the outcome would be when they came over. These beings of the thousands of races out there would definitely be filled with gratitude and excitement upon their appearance, taking them as their hope, future, and saviors!

But, the situation right now was nothing like they had imagined!

Not only were there no ancient race beings, all of these beings from the thousands of races out there were glaring at them, as though there was something wrong with them!

This…this wasn't the way this script was supposed to play out…!

HAHAHAHA. Of course not, you silly boys! All of YOU shall bow down to our MC as well. By the way, Ju Shenling literally translates to Giant God Spirit while Shenzu Dian translates to God Race Altar. But with the words of god within both of them, I'd rather leave them in their original form just in case there is a God Race or anything in the future. Also because God Spirit does not really sound like it makes much sense so I'm not sure if there's a deeper meaning to it. This is just for safety measures. Cheers!

Chapter 537: The Chance To Show Off Has Come!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

"Who are you guys?" The beings of the thousands of races who had just been rescued asked in bewilderment. They had long been stunned by the might of that mysterious human. To think that he would overthrow the entire Despair City singlehandedly. They were utterly convinced of his strength by now.

After weathering that scene from before, the appearance of these members from the six major sects no longer brought to them any feeling of surprise at all.

Upon hearing these words, the members of the six major sects did not know what to say, as they froze up there for a moment. If this were at the start, they would definitely proclaim out proudly, 'We're here to save you guys.'

But by the looks of the situation right now, it seemed as though they weren't that much needed anymore.

This was quite an embarrassing and awkward situation for the members of the six major sects to be in right now. In fact, all their minds were in a mess, wondering just what had happened here.

There were supposedly 1,000,000 ancient race beings housed in the Despair City! Where did all of them go to?

In fact, they hadn't even come across a single one! Wasn't this way too surreal?

"Everyone, we're from the six major sects. We were originally here to rescue you guys. However, what's happening right now? Where have all the ancient race beings gone?" Dulong's disposition was extraordinary as he exuded a gaze of imposingness.

"All dead." One of the beings of the thousands of races replied.

"Dead?' The moment the members of the six major sects heard this, their faces changed immediately, evidently in disbelief. To think that 1,000,000 of them would be dead just like that?

But there wasn't even a single corpse on the battlefield! Just what sort of a sect was it that could have possessed capabilities as such?

The thought of this massacre being caused by a single person had never once crossed their minds. To them, the first thought in their minds was that some extremely powerful sect must have activated a number of powerful beings to suppress the entire Despair City.

But who could it be then? Just who in the world was this strong?

A divine celestial cultivation state being?

That was impossible though. If a divine celestial being were to rush head forth into the Despair City, the powerful beings of the ancient race would definitely not sit back and let that happen just like that.

Just then, the words of a single being from the thousands of races out there caused the minds of everyone from the six major sects to be blown away.

"That's right. A single human, a human who was stronger than anything else, overturned the entire Despair City along with the four commanders." The moment the beings of the thousands of races out there heard these words, their faces were filled with a look of reverence.

"Impossible!' Mu Tianlong was the first to step forth in refute. He would definitely not believe that a single human could take down all the ancient race beings, including even the four commanders!

In order to deal with the four commanders, there were thirty elders of desolate celestial cultivation state from the six major sects that were gathered in order to just hold them back.

But what sort of a joke was happening right now?

A single human killing all four commanders? How could that be?

Xiesheng, who had remained silent all this while, was entirely flabbergasted upon hearing these words. An image of a lone figure was forming in his mind. At the same time, that single sentence that they all deemed as a joke was appearing within his head as well.

"I'm headed to Despair City to kill the Marquis of Despair."

"That human you guys speak of, did he have a head of long locks with a casual aura which one could never ever see through?" Xiesheng asked hurriedly.

"Junior Brother Xie, are you hallucinating? How could it be that human?" Mu Longtian chimed in.

Dulong frowned as he recalled the conversation earlier on.

Could it be that human who had spouted such brash words they were referring to earlier on?

"I do not know who you're talking about. However, that human did have a head of long locks and a casual aura as well. At the same time, he was extremely handsome. A single look at him would cast an image into one's memory forever…" The being of the thousands of races out there began to exaggerate.

If Lin Fan were to hear these words for himself, he would definitely raise a big thumbs up and commend, 'Well said!'

With that, all the beings of the thousands of races out there began to clamor in excitement. Their conversation topic never once left Lin Fan.

With so many beings of the thousands of races out there and a single sentence of praise from each and every one of them, Lin Fan's image was practically propped up to the Heavens by now.

The members of the six major sects stood there awkwardly, not knowing what they should do right now.

The disciples of Ju Lingshen Sect gradually returned to their original forms at this moment. Their towering presence from before appeared to be much less intimidating.

The disciples of the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect returned to their human forms as well. Just now, they were howling energetically, ready to rip the ancient race apart. However, right now, there wasn't even a single ancient race being around. What sh*t was there to rip?

As for the disciples of the Shenzu Dian Sect, they were singing out their heavenly choruses earlier on while writing divine scriptures in the skies. However, right now, all of them had their heads lowered, as though they had wasted all of their efforts earlier on. The tune of their heavenly music seemed as though it was just to celebrate the presence of that human being.

Awkward. The awkwardness amongst them was beyond words right now.

Even Elder Dulong's face began to change.

Amongst the sects, he was someone who was revered and respected, having an imposing aura. Of course, he didn't mind that sort of praise that was accorded to him.

However, upon hearing the way everyone was lauding Lin Fan, he was beginning to feel somewhat envious as well.

He was filled with jealousy towards that human.

Mu Longtian had wanted to put on a good performance so that he could get his name out there. However, the turn of events pretty much infuriated him.

To think that there wasn't even a single ancient race being left! How was he supposed to become the hero in everyone's heart with the current state of events?

And just then, from the edge of the skies, the clouds darkened as a menacing aura burst forth from that dark mass.

"Everyone, watch out. The ancient race is here." Elder Dulong's gaze was sharp as he pierced them through the oncoming voids.

The members of the six major sects began to get excited. This was their chance, finally!

Initially, all of them were pretty frightened over the thought of going up against the ancient race. In fact, when they first heard that the human had slain all of them, they were secretly relieved within their hearts as well.

However, the more they heard the beings of the thousands of races out there praising the human, the more indignant they felt at the same time.

They were filled with jealousy and envy right now.

How could they let that human take all the glory?

Therefore, at this moment, they were pretty thirsty to meet with anyone from the ancient race. They wanted to crush these beings cruelly, so that these beings of the thousands of races out there could respect and adore them in the same manner.

"All of you, don't worry! The six major sects here would definitely keep you safe!" Mu Tianlong looked over at the beings of the thousands of races out there and assured them imposingly as he swept his hair back.

"That's right! With the six major sects around, we'll definitely ensure that all of you get out safely!"

"All of you, stay behind us! Since the ancient race is here, we'll make sure all of them leave their lives here as well!"

Suddenly, the members of the six major sects were all invigorated with a fresh burst of fighting intent.

The disciples of the Ju Lingshen Sect transformed into that thousand feet tall giants once more. The disciples of the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect went into their mighty hundreds and thousands of feet long dragons as well. The horns and songs of the disciples from the Shenzu Dian Sect began to ring out once more, as those heavenly scriptures basked in a golden glow, with divine petals blossoming out across the skies.

With that, the disciples of the Water God Sect brought rain down with them as well, while the disciples of the Heaven Horn Sect drummed out loudly, boosting everyone's morale.

...

"With the presence of the six major sects, none of those ancient race beings shall dream of harming a single person today!" Mu Longtian stepped forth and glared into the skies without a single strain of fear.

Looking at Mu Longtian, Dulong nodded his head, heartened. With such a fearless and bold disciple, there would be no worries of having no one to stand up against the ancient race in the future.

However, something shocking suddenly happened.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 538: A Single Raise Of A Hand, The Collapse Of An Army
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

At this moment, all the members of the six major sects were howling out madly. Any disciple who wielded any weapons whipped them out instantly. As for those without any, they raised their aura to the peak, getting ready to duke it out.

The heightened battle intent right now was filling their entire bodies with adrenaline.

At this moment, the ancient race no longer seemed as scary to them as before. In fact, they were a little worked up. After all, their shot at performing was here. No matter what, they had to have these beings of the thousands of races revere and praise them.

They were the six major sects who had prepared immensely for this! How could they let a single human slow them up?

"Battle, battle, battle!"

Mu Longtian chanted before turning around and facing his junior brothers and hollering out, "Show them the spirit of our Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect! Kill every single ancient race being that comes to us!"

By now, the haughty Mu Longtian, who loved being in the limelight, had gone entirely berserk. Within his heart, there was only the intolerable feeling of his limelight being stolen by that human.

Each time the beings of the thousands of races out there praised the human, he would feel his heart ache for a moment. It was as though something important was missing from his heart each time that happened.

Oh, how much it stung and hurt…!

"Ah…!" By now, the beings of the thousands of races out there were cowering behind the backs of the disciples of the six major sects. However, when they caught sight of the figure on the clouds, they were shocked silly.

"Do not fear! With us around, your safety is definitely guaranteed!" Mu Longtian revealed a calm and reassuring smile as he noticed the panicked expressions of these former captives.

It was a good thing that they were afraid right now. Afterward, when they were done with the ancient race beings, the limelight of that human would fall upon their shoulders as well.

Mu Longtian turned around and pointed two fingers out into the vast skies. He then shouted out with a look of absolute might, "ANCIENT RACE! PREPARE TO…To…to…"

Suddenly, Mu Longtian's face changed when he caught sight of that figure on the clouds.

That confidence of his shattered into immense fear immediately.

"Jue…wang Hou!"

...

Within the void floated a bunch of ancient race beings. Standing right before them was a boy draped in black robes. He stood silently with a frosty expression. There wasn't a single strain of emotion to be found on his face at all.

His gaze was chilling and hollow. Exchanging glances with him would cause one to feel an immense dread immediately.

Beside him stood Long Xuan, who was frowning as he looked over towards the Despair City. He wondered where all the ancient race beings had gone to. However, the moment he caught sight of Dulong, his face changed.

Just what in the world was going on right now. Where was everyone?

The ancient race beings behind them were looking ever so malevolent, as the aura emitted by them caused the members of the six major sects to feel fear.

S-strong!

"Mu Tianlong, come back." Dulong glared at Long Xuan while dragging Mu Tianlong back to his side.

"Elder, this…!" Mu Tianlong gulped down his saliva. He had not expected the Marquis of Despair to be this terrifying. He could feel himself shivering without the other party speaking even a single word.

By the looks of it, if the Marquis of Despair were to strike, he could definitely snuff Mu Tianlong within a single breath.

Dulong stepped forth. The other twenty-nine elders followed suit, protecting their disciples behind them.

They had not expected the Marquis of Despair to return at this moment. And even more unanticipated was the fact that there would be so many powerful ancient race beings along with him.

"Master." Long Xuan finally spoke up after looking at Dulong.

"Shut up. I don't have a disciple as such!" Dulong hollered out in wrath. His eyes were betrayed by a momentary grief before being replaced with endless fury.

The moment each person from the six major sects heard this, their faces froze up. To think that the man of the Dragon race who was standing beside the Marquis of Despair was a disciple of Dulong himself!

"Are you guys intentionally challenging the authority of me, the Marquis of Despair?" The Marquis of Despair finally spoke up. His black robe fluttered in the wind as a sinister frost emanated out from him.

"Actually, doesn't the Marquis of Despair seem like he's someone from the Dragon race?"

"That's right! Now that you speak of it, the double horns on his head are a mark of someone from the Dragon race! But how could the Marquis of Despair be such a young kid from the Dragon race?"

"I've got no idea either. The notorious name of the Marquis of Despair has stuck around for a thousand years now, but this is the first time I'm actually seeing him in person."

"But, doesn't the Marquis of Despair look just so cute?"

Some of the disciples began to discuss in whispers. The situation right now was too shocking for them to comprehend and understand as to what exactly was going on.

At the same time, some of the female disciples would not have believed that the Marquis of Despair was such an innocent and docile looking child even if it came at the cost of their own lives. To think that this was the notorious Marquis of Despair!

"Marquis of Despair, to think that you would appear as well. Since that's the case, today shall be the day we slay you!" Dulong knew that there was no other way out of this other than fighting them to the death.

"Hehe... Six major sects and ants of the thousands of races out there, aren't you guys getting out of hand? Honestly, Marquis of Despair, to think that your huge base would be destroyed by puny ants as such! This is indeed a laughing stock!" The ancient race beings around the Marquis of Despair burst out into laughter.

The aura of these beings from the ancient race was in no way lesser than that of the elders present. In fact, they were even superior.

"Ants, I am Gu Xiao, the son of the Sovereign King Wei, who is under the direct command of one of the Utmost Beings. Since you ants have dared to question the might of the ancient race, I shall use your fresh blood to help you guys atone for your sins!" Gu Xiao scoffed out as a massive aura burst forth from him.

This mighty aura caused the disciples of the six major sects to freeze up. This aura was simply way too strong!

All the other ancient race beings behind Gu Xiao started smirking as well.

"Can we not kill them?" Long Xuan looked over to the Marquis of Despair. Even though the members of the six major sects numbered in the tens of thousands, Long Xuan knew that they were still no match for the Marquis of Despair or even Gu Xiao.

After all, Gu Xiao was someone who was almost practically going to hit divine celestial soon.

PSHEW!

Suddenly, Gu Xiao appeared right before Long Xuan. Choking him, he lifted him up into the air.

"Hmph! Marquis of Despair, how dare your underling seek mercy for those puny ants? Should I help you to settle your family's affairs?" Gu Xiao jeered coldly as he increased his strength, choking Long Xuan even tighter.

Long Xuan's face was flushed red thoroughly right now, evidently no match for Gu Xiao.

"He is my man." Suddenly, the Marquis of Despair turned around and glared at Gu Xiao. That calm and deep gaze seemed to be hiding two razor-sharp swords within them. It was a warning to Gu Xiao that if he had dared to kill Long Xuan, he would die a terrible death, an extremely, extremely terrible death.

Gu Xiao felt his heart jerk for a moment as he glared back at the Marquis of Despair. Eventually, he snorted out coldly before relinquishing his grip on Long Xuan.

"Hmph, damn it!" Gu Xiao's heart was thoroughly incensed, as his hatred for the Marquis of Despair burned to its core.

"Since you guys have made the trip towards Despair City, won't you stay here then?" The Marquis of Despairspoke up. Raising his hand gently, the entire Heaven and Earth started vibrating violently.

"Little Guang, please let them off!" Looking at the Marquis of Despair taking action, the color drained out of Long Xuan's face.

"HAHA…!" Suddenly, the Marquis of Despair laughed out maniacally. There was a tinge of helplessness in his laughter, mixed with a deep and immense despair.

"ARGH!"

"I FEEL…DESPAIRED!"

"PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"

...

Suddenly, it was as though something had invaded the disciples of the six major sects as their eyes jerked wide open, filled with an endless sense of despair within them.

Snot and tears began to flow out along with the cries.

The might of the great sect army was crippled with a single raise of the Marquis of Despair's palm.

Power.

Absolute power!

Each and every single one of the elders presents let out a look of fright.

This was true horror right now.

Honestly, the Marquis of Despair is the one character that’s been keeping me curious ever since the story entered the Ancient Saint World arc. To be honest, this chapter gave me goose bumps somewhat at the end. The unpredictability of the Marquis of Despair is really intense imo. Cheers!

Chapter 539: Spear of Despair
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

"Everyone always comes forth to bully me. I, the Marquis of Despair, am the sovereign of Despair City, with an unlimited territory to my name. To think that even ants like you guys would dare to step forth to challenge my authority." Even though the Marquis of Despair's face was expressionless as he looked at the members of the six major sects, one could sense the boundless fury in that deep and sinister voice of his.

That clean, cute face of his turned extremely vile instantly. In the eyes of the members of the six major sects, it was as if a peerless devil had just raised his palm, causing a devastating force to ripple through the Heaven and Earth, destroying everything in its path.

Those disciples who had merely heard of the Marquis of Despair's name and were meeting him for the first time could not believe that this cute and doll-like boy child could possess such an immense amount of hatred within him.

Those frosty eyes of his pierced through the void. In that instance, the Heaven and Earth were not the only places that were sealed frozen. Their skipping heartbeats felt an immense repression immediately.

The elders of the six major sects looked around at their disciples with a look of fear. The Marquis of Despair's power of despair had seeped itself into their inner hearts. If this were to carry on, these disciples would undoubtedly fall into the endless abyss of despair, unable to pull themselves out of it forever!

The elders of the Shenzu Dian Sect stepped forth. Pursing their lips, mysterious golden glowing heavenly symbols shot out of their mouths.

These heavenly symbols brought with them a holy glow as they increased in number and density. Eventually, these heavenly symbols culminated into a God of Symbols.

The God of Symbol hollered out as a heavenly tune filled the entire sky. The feelings of hope and beauty, which represented the most positive of all energies, entwined with one another as they formed a river which coiled itself around the bodies of the disciples.

"W-what happened just now?"

"Why did I feel such endless despair within my heart!"

"Junior brother, how did I injure you?"

Beings of the Wings race commanded the most radiant of all energies in the world. When produced by the elders of the Shenzu Dian Sect, the power was intensified even further.

This tremendous amount of positive energy purged the power of despair cast by the Marquis of Despair immediately, allowing the disciples of the six major sects to recover from it.

Amongst the elders of the Shenzu Dian Sect, one of them was born with a strange attribute. Born with three wings, he was considered an abnormal being of the Wings race, and wielded even more power than other similar beings of his race.

But, this only served to display how far ahead the Marquis of Despair's strength was compared to them. Just purging the power of despair alone required them to use their skills to counter it.

Long Xuan looked at the members of the six major sects. He had not expected them to come forth to the Despair City for a rescue mission for these captive beings.

If the Marquis of Despair were the only one who had returned, Long Xuan would still have the confidence of keeping the lives of the members of the six major sects. But now that Gu Xiao, the son of the Sovereign King Wei, was here along with a huge number of chamberlains he brought with him, the current situation was looking extremely dangerous.

"Hehe…" The Marquis of Despair lowered his head as his glistening black fringe covered his eyes, leaving nothing but his bone-chilling snigger. Suddenly, the Marquis of Despair tossed his head up. That initially calm gaze of his was now replaced with a strange gleam.

"ALL OF YOU CAN GO TO HELL!" The Marquis of Despair screamed out with a mad holler. Raising his hand, a sharp power of despair ripped through the entire void.

This formidable power caused the elders of the six major sects to truly feel fear. This was the power of the Heavens. THIS WAS POWER THAT BELONGED TO THE DIVINE GODS!

"To think that this little devil's true state would be that of a divine celestial...!" Looking at the power that burst forth from the Marquis of Despair, Dulong's expression changed completely.

Divine celestial cultivation state… That was a state that trod on the Heavens itself. Even if they were to combine all of their forces, they still wouldn't be able to deal with the Marquis of Despair!

"Right now, the only thing we can do is to fight with all we've got, so that our disciples can escape." An elder from the Ju Lingshen Sect remarked.

"Burning everything away, if sacrificing our lives would mean that the Marquis of Despair is removed, that could be considered a good thing for us from the thousands of races out there as well."

At this moment, the high and mighty Mu Longtian, who had wanted the reverence of the beings of the thousands of races out there, was absolutely terrified. Upon sensing the boundless power of the Marquis of Despair which was like the vast seas, his face was pale as a sheet.

In front of this power, he finally knew what true fear was. His pupils were dilated from fright right now. To think that the Marquis of Despair would be this menacing! In fact, in front of this guy, he couldn't even find the strength to lift a single finger!

The thirty elders of the six major sects burst forth with their own powers in retaliation. Their aura pierced through the Heavens.

'Void Piercing Heavenly Dragon!'

The elders of the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect hollered out as their skin tore apart, turning into a 100,000 feet long dragon. Howling wildly, their dragon energy erupted out from all over the place, fusing together.

Ju Lingshen Sect, Shenzu Dian Sect, Water God Sect, Heaven Horn Sect and Heavenly Eye King Sect.

Thirty elders of the six major sects all poured out every single last thing they had right now. Their rumbling combined powers culminated in the sky.

Gu Xiao, who had been silently observing everything, was pretty displeased. He had not expected the Marquis of Despair's powers to be this strong. To think that he had broken through to divine celestial in such a short period of time. This was something Gu Xiao could not accept.

Even though the Marquis of Despair was nothing but a lapdog for the utmost being, what about that cheap being, Long Xuan, then? How dare that lowlife try to overtake the mighty ancient race beings as well?

Gu Xiao had been stuck in the midst of transitioning to a divine celestial for a long time now. From the unknowns, he would always try to entrust his consciousness to obtain a spot within that realm. However, he would always be stuck at the most crucial step, never able to attain that sought-after cultivation state.

Long Xuan was in a dilemma right now. On one hand, it was his master who had groomed him all the way from the past. On the other hand, it was someone who was really important to him.

"Marquis of Despair, today, our six major sects here shall perish together with you!" Dulong yelled out angrily as his boundless power merged with that of his comrades.

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

A towering colossal giant stood tall between the Heaven and Earth. Heavenly tunes could be heard, while it seemed as though every step it took would take down an entire world itself, bursting forth with an endless amount of energy.

"Anything below divine celestial is nothing but an ant." The Marquis of Despair's frosty gaze stared straight at the giant as he placed his small, tender palms together.

Instantly, a gigantic hole tore open in the void. It was pitch black within the hole, as a surge of energy rippled out into the world from within, along with with a violent force.

This devastating energy was enough to annihilate the Heavens and tear down the worlds. In the face of this power, every other living being seemed so puny and fragile.

Crack.

That titanic giant howled out in anger. However, in the face of that formidable opposing force, it began to crack apart bit by bit.

'Spear of Despair!'

Suddenly, a long, shining black spear that was covered by the power of despair extended out slowly from that pitch black hole.

This long spear shone with a glistening black glow. There was a large number of heavenly despair symbols inscribed on it, as though all the energy of despair within the Heaven and Earth was gathered on it, bringing with it its apocalyptic powers.

PSHEW!

That long spear jerked for a moment before it bolted out towards the six major sects.

"Little Guang! Stop!" The moment Long Xuan caught sight of the spear, his face changed immediately. Shifting nimbly, he appeared before that enormous crumbling giant.

The moment the Marquis of Despair caught sight of Long Xuan's figure, that expressionless face of his moved momentarily. Suddenly, it was as though he had lost all control as he howled out sorrowfully.

"DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME TOO?" That long spear stopped in its tracks immediately. Following the Marquis of Despair's long howl, it vibrated immensely. Perhaps it was telepathic, as it seemed as though the Spear of Despair could sense that emotion of despair within the Marquis of Despair's heart right now.

"Little Guang, I…!" Long Xuan looked over at the Marquis of Despair.

BAM!

Suddenly, a cold light shimmered as a skull pierced through Long Xuan's body, biting off half of Long Xuan's heart as it penetrated him.

"Marquis of Despair, you're way too merciful. A disobedient dog as such deserves nothing but death. Why do you need to speak so much?" Standing in the distance, Gu Xiao chuckled sinisterly as a skull rested in his palm. He then took out the half ripped heart and placed it in his mouth, gnawing on it.

"Yum, yum. Not bad. The heart of someone from the Dragon race tastes pretty good indeed." Gu Xiao laughed cruelly.

"Lit…tle…Guang…" Lowering his head, Long Xuan glared at the gaping hole in his chest that was gushing with fresh blood. He then murmured softly towards the Marquis of Despair in the distance, his eyes filled with overwhelming emotions. Finally, as though every single last bit of strength had left him, he collapsed into a downward descent from the skies.

...

At this moment in the secret chamber…

Lin Fan propped up his full belly as he burped a few times.

"Holy sh*t! There are simply way too many pills! I can't eat anymore! I'm truly bloated right now!" Lin Fan had never once imagined that he would one day be feeling bloated to the brink of explosion through popping pills.

"Eh? What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?" Lin Fan pondered weirdly.

Rubbing his tummy, he stood up and walked outside.

I am speechless, honestly. I never expected to feel this tinge of aching feeling in my heart when Long Xuan died. I don’t know. I know it’s unjustified feeling emotional over someone who hasn’t had much screen time, but I really took a liking to him as a character after how he blamed himself over Lin Fan’s death. I thought that he was really just a pretty nice guy. Shit man. Fml.

Chapter 540: Appearance Of The Handsome Lin Fan!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

"Disciple…!" Dulong, who had an extraordinary demeanor, felt his heart being carved out at the sight of that bloodstained figure.

Long Xuan was his disciple, his one and only disciple. In all these years, he had only taken in Long Xuan as a disciple. And because Long Xuan was his most beloved disciple ever, the deeper one loved, the deeper the cut it left as well. Back then when his beloved disciple had chosen to side with the Marquis of Despair, his firm heart shattered into pieces.

Ever since then, Dulong had never once taken in another disciple, nor had he ever mentioned the fact that he had a disciple as well.

His heart was in turmoil.

At this moment, a single phrase suddenly struck Dulong, 'Who could lead an impeccable life?'

But right now, it was all too late.

This disciple of his had once tried looking him up, trying to explain his actions. However, Dulong had never ever given him the chance to do so. Time and again, he would wallop this dear disciple of his half to death. From the very beginning, he had never ever taken the time to listen to any words he tried to say.

At this moment, Dulong regretted everything. Why had he never granted Long Xuan the chance after all those years!

'ARGH!'

The Marquis of Despair's scream was shrill right now as that once expressionless face was filled with panic. Turning into a streak of light, he burst off towards the plummeting Long Xuan.

...

"Hmph! How is he befitting of the title as the Marquis of Despair if he's so merciful? Since you refuse to strike on your own, I'll do it for you." Looking at everything before him, Gu Xiao commented casually.

To Gu Xiao, the beings of the thousands of races out there were nothing but ants. Other than being food for the ancient race, they had no other purpose.

Gu Xiao had always been someone who loved killing beings of the other races. After all, the more of them he killed, the more blessings he would receive in return from the Heaven's Will of the Ancient Saint World.

This was a great boon to his personal cultivation.

In fact, he had been coveting the beings of the thousands of races that were captive in the Despair City for a really long time now. With its convenient location near the ascension point, the Despair City possessed a boundless amount of resources.

Gu Xiao had always dreamed of owning the Despair City one day. If he could do that, he would definitely be able to hasten his speed of attaining the divine celestial cultivation state.

Before attaining the state of divine celestial, every cultivation state prior to that was simply child's play. One would only step on the true path to eternity after they entered the divine celestial cultivation state.

Even though he coveted it, there was nothing he could do. After all, the Despair City was a place conferred by the utmost being lord himself. Even if he were the son of the Sovereign King Wei, if he ever offended the utmost being lord, his death would come in a matter of seconds.

Casting his gaze at the members of the six major sects, Gu Xiao's lips curled into a cold sneer.

"Not bad. There are so many beings of the other races left. This should satisfy my killing thirst." Gu Xiao stepped forth. He had long tossed any concern about the Marquis of Despair, who was now berserk and had lost all his battle intent, to the back of his head.

The chamberlains behind Gu Xiao looked at the members of the six major sects as though they were viewing food as well, slurping with their saliva dripping.

How nice would it be if they could kill such a large number of beings of the thousands of races!

"Young master, could we devour some of them?"

"Of course." Gu Xiao granted the permission.

"Thank you, young master!" The moment the chamberlains heard this, their eyes shone with glee. Right now, they had really lucked out!

It had been such a long time since they came across such a quantity of beings to kill. These sorts of oppressive massacres were the sort of slaughtering they enjoyed the most.

In fact, those defenseless elders were the real delicacies in their eyes. However, they knew that those elders would definitely be reserved for their young master. They could only choose from the small shrimps around.

But it didn't matter. This would suffice as well. As long as they got to kill, they would definitely feel excited.

"Senior brother, they're coming!" Long Yue'er's face was pale right now. In fact, she was even shivering. The Marquis of Despair alone had caused them to feel fearful. However, the aura emanating from these ancient race beings were causing them to feel chills down their spines as well.

"I see them." Mu Longtian had not expected such a tragic fate to befall him one day. If he couldn't defeat the Marquis of Despair, so be it. However, to think that he would feel such fear even for these ancient race beings before his face!

"Protect the elders!" Looking at the approaching ancient race beings, Xiesheng was nervous as well. However, he wouldn't allow the ancient race beings to harm their elders at this juncture!

Dulong frowned. He knew that this would go really badly. After all, he was clear about the strength of these ancient race beings. They were strong, really strong.

Even if they were at their peak state right now, they still weren't a match for these ancient race beings.

The household name of the Sovereign King Wei was well known amongst the ancient race beings. In fact, it was a name that was even more horrifying than the Marquis of Despair. Even if the person here before them was just his son, he still wasn't an existence they could easily deal with.

'These so-called six major sects are nothing but some pariah sects formed by a bunch of ants in some faraway land. If we could force out the location of these sects from them and devour their roots, the divine celestial state would definitely be in my grasp.' Gu Xiao thought to himself with a cold laughter.

To him, they truly were no different from any other ants out there in the world, equally puny and weak.

At this moment, all of the beings of the thousands of races who were previously held captive in the Despair City were now scared sh*tless against the might of the ancient race beings. At this moment of franticness, the only thing that came into their minds was to search for that powerful and almighty human being who had rescued them earlier on.

But, to their dismay, he was nowhere to be found! It was as though he had disappeared from the world altogether!

"Eh? To think that there would be such a petite and tender looking girl from the Dragon race. Alright, I'll use your blood to rinse my mouth first!" Gu Xiao raised his hand. With a scratch of his five fingers, a massive amount of energy surged out.

"AHHHH! SENIOR BROTHER! SAVE ME!" Long Yue'er's face was pale as a sheet right now as her body gravitated towards Gu Xiao uncontrollably.

The moment Mu Longtian caught sight of this scene, all the blood drained from his face. His legs wobbled uncontrollably, as he did not dare to head up front at all.

Looking at the helplessness of her senior brother who was just shaking there, her face was filled with despair.

"Let go of my senior sister!" Suddenly, Xiesheng was the one who hollered out instead. Bursting forth with his dragon power, he grabbed Long Yue'er in his arms and tossed her back. In return, he was now the one who was being sucked towards Gu Xiao!

"Hmph! Know your place." Gu Xiao glared at Xiesheng icily before swinging his arm out. For someone like Xiesheng, this amount of power was comparable to that of the Heavens; he was unable to defend against it at all.

BAM!

Like a kite that was cut loose, Xiesheng was sent slamming onto the floor as he coughed out mouthfuls of fresh blood instantly.

"Junior brother!!!" Immediately, Long Yue'er headed forth to support him up. She had not expected that the one who would save her would be the junior brother she would commonly lecture on a day to day basis. On the other hand, that once revered senior brother of hers was the one who was rooted there helplessly.

"Puny! Simply way too weak! Forget it, I'll just devour all of you then!" Gu Xiao jeered coldly. Opening his mouth widely, he darted towards the members of the six major sects.

The moment the chamberlains caught sight of their young master unleashing his big move, they pounced forth like tigers as well towards the disciples of the six major sects. If they were to hesitate, they might not even have any scraps left!

The moment the disciples of the six major sects caught sight of these ferocious ancient race beings pouncing towards them, they felt their hearts sink in fear. Those beings of the thousands of races who were just rescued moments earlier felt an immense dread filling them up as well.

Who could come and save them now…?

"Ancient race…" Just then, a solemn and imposing voice rang out from the distance. A sturdy aura covered the entire void as it pushed down towards these ancient race beings.

"Huh…?" Gu Xiao's brows creased as he stopped what he was doing and looked over to the distance. As for the beings of the thousands of races out there, this voice was like a rescue rope that was dropped into that abyss of hell for them to climb out.

The disciples of the six major sects looked over in bewilderment, wondering who this voice belonged to.

"It's that great human lord!"

"That human lord hasn't left at all! He's here to save us!"

"That's the lord who slaughtered the four commanders along with million ancient race soldiers!"

The beings of the thousands of races erupted out in cheers.

The elders of the six major sects focused their gazes as they looked at Lin Fan warily.

Now, now. What’s the bet that Gu Xiao’s daddy is going to be feeling some heartache soon? HAHA! Cheers!

Chapter 541: Motherf*cking Human King
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

For those beings of the thousands of races out there who had had their fair share of torments, the sight of Lin Fan's graceful demeanor was etched into the core of their hearts for the rest of their lives. No matter how they tried, they could never bring themselves to forget this noble figure.

But, the disciples of the six major sects were filled with bewilderment.

Could this be the human who had supposedly killed the four commanders and the million ancient race soldiers?

But, how could this be…?

A single step from Lin Fan was so far, yet so near. In the blink of an eye, he appeared right before all of them.

The sides of his robes floated gently against the breeze while his fine black hair danced in the air. His face was relaxed as he looked down on the entire world while glaring at the ancient race. He then frowned, as though he was puzzled.

"I've already slain all the ancient race beings here. Why are there still more appearing now?" Under the watchful gaze of the masses, Lin Fan commented casually.

His voice was calm, as though there were yet another few ants who had entered the fray, trying to cause trouble.

From the words of the beings of the thousands of races, the disciples of the six major sects already knew that the million ancient race soldiers were killed by a single human. However, even then, they were still slightly doubtful of that fact.

However, right in front of them, the very words were spouted out from the human's mouth himself. The faces of everyone from the six major sects began to change rapidly.

Disbelief.

Shock.

Alarm.

Astonishment.

"Human lord! Please save us!"

"Oh, great and mighty human lord! Please salvage us from this world of sufferings!"

Suddenly, all the beings of the thousands of races prostrated themselves under the glorious aura of Lin Fan.

'The strong shall reign supreme.' In a world like this, they were in need of a powerful leader who could lead them out of their current predicament into the light.

And, this human before them was that man they needed.

Xiesheng raised his head and looked at Lin Fan. He had not expected those words of his that were thought to be bullshit to come true. With the strength of a single person, he had managed to overrun the entire Despair City. Just what sort of powers should one have in order to accomplish such a feat?

Dulong exchanged glances with the other elders present. They were still in denial right now. However, they could not deny the fact that the powerful aura they had felt earlier on was emitted by this human.

"Who are you?" Gu Xiao stared at this human who was floating gently in the air and frowned. He was evidently displeased at this man's insolence. The fact that this human's gaze was casual and relaxed seemed to cause Gu Xiao even more anger than anything else.

There had truly never been any other being of the thousands of races who had dared to show him such an attitude.

Lin Fan looked over at Gu Xiao carefully.

'Semi divine celestial cultivation state.'

This wasn't a weak cultivation state by any chance. But alas, what a pity!

"Semi divine celestial cultivation state. You can't even breakthrough to divine celestial in one single take?" Lin Fan scoffed in disdain. However, he did not realize the impact these words would cause for the rest of the people present.

All the members of the six major sects knew of the strength of this ancient race being. However, they had not expected him to be a semi-divine celestial! Even though he was only halfway there, that was still as good as having one step through the door of that godly state!

But, the way this human had remarked that fact with such contempt, just what sort of powers did this human possess?

"BRAZEN!" The moment Gu Xiao heard this, he burst out in anger. "Take down this human! I've got to see just what sort of capabilities he possesses!"

"Yes, young master!" Instantly, the eight chamberlains following Gu Xiao nodded their heads as a menacing aura burst forth from them.

"Watch out!"

Elder Dulong could not help but warn out of instinct. The eight chamberlains were extremely powerful, somewhere around their own cultivation states. Coupled with the fact that they had an innate advantage over the other races, if they were on the same cultivation states, beings of the thousands of races would definitely find it hard-pressed to go against any ancient race being.

But the moment he said those words, he regretted it immediately. After all, the next scene sent their sanities tumbling down the rabbit hole.

Lin Fan looked at the eight chamberlains. Desolate celestial full cultivation state.

If this were earlier on, he might have required some tricks to get at them.

But, he no longer required stuff like that.

He had received an explosive growth with all the pill popping, such that his level had risen twice. Right now, he was a desolate celestial upper-level being.

Despair City had existed for a thousand years now. In order to fill the void in his heart, the Marquis of Despair had accumulated a large number of pills. For any commoner, these pills would be treasures that were priceless. Even if they were to consume just one, they would definitely take their time to digest it. However, for Lin Fan, these were nothing but experience points.

The moment he swallowed them, the system would automatically convert them into experience points which gushed into his body. With that, he broke through the experience cap for 2 straight levels instantly.

Who wouldn't fear a power like this?

"Know your places." Lin Fan snorted coldly as his five fingers ripped out like a claw. Tearing through the void, an immense amount of energy burst forth.

This tremendous energy rippled continuously as a gigantic palm that covered the sky descended from the Heavens, grabbing out at the eight chamberlains.

"What?"' Seeing this, all eight of them froze up as fear filled their eyes.

To them, that puny human from before had suddenly turned so terrifyingly mighty! In fact, that single claw-like swipe had sealed their own personal space as well. They were rooted there, with nowhere to run nor dodge!

"YOUNG MASTER, SAVE US…!" The eight chamberlains suddenly howled.

BAM!

That heavenly piercing gigantic palm caught all eight chamberlains within its grip and squeezed.

In the blink of an eye, the eight chamberlains did not have any room to resist at all. Just like that, they were squished to death, as their pitch-black fresh blood sprayed through the skies.

'Ding…Congratulations on killing desolate celestial full cultivation state ancient race being.'

'Ding…Experience points +50,000'

...

Eight notifications from the system appeared at the back of Lin Fan's mind.

Just like that, he had received 400,000 experience points. Seemed like other than popping pills, there was nothing that could beat the experience points gained from killing ancient race beings.

Lin Fan would never ever show any mercy towards the ancient race beings. Any one of them he bumped into would definitely be killed and converted into experience points.

And right now, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were fixated on him. Of course, Lin Fan felt the need to show an appropriate display of might. Taking down everything in his way with sheer brute force was the only way Yours Truly could ensure his name would be passed down in the history of the beings of the thousands of races.

"Hmph! How dare mere desolate celestial full cultivation beings act so impertinently before Yours Truly!" Lin Fan tossed his robes and shouted at Gu Xiao imposingly, "You can come now!"

By now, all members of the six major sects were thoroughly stumped. Their eyeballs were opened so wide that they could almost fall out of their sockets at this instant.

To think that desolate celestial full cultivation beings couldn't even hold on for a single round against this human! Wasn't this way too horrific?

For these members of the six major sects, those eight ancient race chamberlains could be considered as invincible existences! Even elder Dulong would not dare to claim that he could take on all of them by himself.

If they were all in their peak state, they could take advantage of their numbers and probably kill these eight chamberlains if they all struck together. However, even then, the number of casualties would be uncountable.

The jaws of the beings of the thousands of races were opened so widely that one could almost stuff an entire egg within them, as they glared at Lin Fan in the air with utter excitement.

"Yours Truly is the Motherf*cking Human King, Lin Fan! Today, I shall conduct the execution of all of you from the ancient race! Is there any indignance you would like to voice out?" Lin Fan placed his hands behind his back as he glared at Gu Xiao straight in the eye with a casual expression.

Gu Xiao's face was crumpled up, speechless right now. But those beings of the thousands of races erupted out in cheers.

"LONG LIVE THE MOTHERF*CKING HUMAN KING!"

"I SEEK THE MOTHERF*CKING HUMAN KING'S BLESSINGS!"

"I, HONG YUN OF THE GHOST RACE, AM WILLING TO FOLLOW THE MOTHERF*CKING HUMAN KING'S LEAD FOREVER!"

"I WISH TO FOLLOW THE GREAT LEAD OF THE MOTHERF*CKING HUMAN KING AS WELL!"

By now, every single one of the beings of the thousands of races out there just wanted to hug Lin Fan's thighs desperately and serve under him.

HAHAHAHA. The bullshit never ends. Also, author’s notes: “I’m not writing fillers, legit! I’m just trying to expand on the storyline! If I wanted to write fillers, I could have taken 8 chapters for the 8 chamberlains! But look, they died in a single strike! Alright, whether or not you believe me, I believe myself :P”

Hahaha seriously our author is equally hilarious.

Also, Semi Divine Celestial Cultivation State is something that's being mentioned for the first time. But by the sounds of it, it should mean that Gu Xiao is midway between Desolate Celestial Full Cultivation and Divine Celestial. Cheers!

Chapter 542: Realm of Despair.
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

Lin Fan smiled calmly. This was a result he had predicted from the start. However, even under such circumstances, he had to maintain his image.

After all, one's image was always the most important. He had to ensure that this image of a powerful and mysterious being was always maintained, so that it exuded off with perfection. Furthermore, how could he casually let just any being of the thousands of races hug his thighs just like that?

Suddenly, Lin Fan pushed down calmly with his palm. With that, it felt like a blanket was placed over everyone, as silence spread out across the masses.

Every single one of the beings of the thousands of races glared at that respectable image of a man in the sky with wide open jaws.

Within the Ancient Saint World, how many beings of the thousands of races could dare to head over and slay a million ancient race soldiers just like this Motherf*cking Human King?

At the same time, looking at this human in the air, Gu Xiao's heart was burning with rage. Damn it! God damn it!

He was the son of the Sovereign King Wei, and could be considered as one of the highest classes of the ancient race beings! Back when he was born, he basked in a golden light from the Heaven's Will. Under the warm, golden bath, he had already received the blessings of the Heaven's Will at that very moment.

Furthermore, he was someone who was poised to be one of the overlords of the ancient race! How could a mere scum of the thousands of races humiliate him in front of so many other beings? How could he endure such indignance?

Hatred.

His hatred was boundless right now.

"Human race, Lin Fan…!" Gu Xiao's face was dark right now as he growled through clenched teeth.

"How dare a lowlife from the thousands of races such as yourself humiliate an upper-class ancient race being? You deserve a terrible death for your sins!"

Looking at Gu Xiao, Lin Fan's lips curled into a cold grin. However, in his heart, he was busy thinking about how he should get rid of this fella here.

Earlier on, when he made that comment about semi-divine celestials being ants, that was all bullsh*t. If he wanted to kill Gu Xiao, naturally he wouldn't be able to do it with the back of his palms. He might even have to pay some price if he truly wanted to kill this being right here.

However, with the gaze of the beings of the thousands of races fixated on him, there was no way he could show signs of weakness right now. If they were to truly start fighting, he would try to lure this ancient race being to somewhere far before dealing with him slowly.

Lin Fan was satisfied with this plan he had come up with. 'Alright then! That's how I shall do it later on.'

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Suddenly, a shrill, sorrowful cry rang out from the distance.

"Long Xuan, you've lied to me."

"You said that you would never leave me for all eternity."

"WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME? WHY????"

That small frame of the Marquis of Despair was hugging Long Xuan's body tightly in his arms right now. That once cute and expressionless face of his was crumpled up in anger and rage.

That black fur coat that was draped on his back was stained with fresh red blood, as were his tender, white hands.

Those sinister and cold eyes of that emotionless the Marquis of Despair were now filled with tears gushing out of them. Like a helpless child, he looked absolutely powerless right now.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…!!!"

He howled out once more as a dark and terrifying power burst forth from his body. This power was even more horrifying than doomsday itself. The moment Lin Fan turned his head around, he was stunned by what he saw.

Divine celestial level 1.

However, at this moment, the pitch black power of despair was surging out of his body. With that, the Marquis of Despair's powers spiked up once more. In the blink of an eye, he was now a divine celestial level 2.

'How could this be?' Lin Fan frowned in disbelief.

That shrill and sharp voice pierced through the void as that black power of despair gradually distorted into a shroud, covering the entire sky and caging up the Despair City altogether.

This power of despair surpassed every other sort of power around it.

It surpassed space.

It surpassed time.

Under the repressing pressure of this power of despair, everything came to a halt.

Gu Xiao was rooted at this moment as well. He had not expected the Marquis of Despair to turn out this strong!

He had already known that the Marquis of Despair had attained the divine celestial cultivation state. However, that should only be a divine celestial level 1 at best. To think that the amount of power that was emitted out of him right now was that of a level 2!

At the start, he had already considered the fact that he could definitely run away if the Marquis of Despair dared to turn around and try to kill him. But right now, that confidence was wavering.

Retreat!

Without any hesitation, Gu Xiao turned into a streak of light as he darted out into the distance. However, his path forward was instantly blocked by a shroud of black mist.

"LONG XUAN, WHY MUST YOU LIE TO ME…?"

BOOM!

A pitch black beam shone between the Heaven and Earth, sealing the whole Despair City entirely.

'Ding…The Marquis of Despair has broken down mentally. Entering the Marquis of Despair's Realm of Despair.'

The moment Lin Fan heard the system's notification, he was completely stunned. What in the world was happening right now?

His surroundings were entirely pitch black. He couldn't even see his fingers if he were to stretch out his hands. However, he frowned. He could sense an unknown power wrapping itself around him.

'Ding…Discovered the Marquis of Despair's power of despair. Cultivate it?'

'Cultivate.'

Without any single bit of hesitation, Lin Fan did it. To think that the Marquis of Despair would have broken down entirely! Then…this Realm of Despair that was created by him must definitely be bent on killing everyone in this whole place!

If the system could cultivate it, he must definitely cultivate it no matter what!

Suddenly, a series of wails rang out from his surroundings. By the sounds of it, these were the wails of someone who had gone entirely insane.

Lin Fan listened carefully. These wails should be coming from the beings of the thousands of races!

"This is the Marquis of Despair's Realm of Despair. Everyone, stay firm to yourselves. You must absolutely not let this dark power of despair seep into your soul!"

...

Lin Fan did not know who was speaking right now. However, by the sounds of it, this should be someone from the six major sects.

'Holy f*ck. Sh*t has seriously turned f*cking real once more.' Lin Fan was feeling slightly nervous right now. To think that he would meet such troublesome issues time and again!

However, the thing that was bothering him right now was how the Marquis of Despair was cultivating his powers.

A few months ago, the Marquis of Despair was definitely just a desolate celestial full cultivation being! Why the hell was he a divine celestial level 1 right now? And to think that after breaking down, he would go on to break through into divine celestial level 2!

Even popping pills like a junkie wouldn't produce results like these!

With the cultivation process of the system going on, Lin Fan did not have to bother himself with the power of despair surrounding him. Right now, the most important thing was to find a way out to kill that Gu Xiao and this so-called Marquis of Despair.

At that moment, Lin Fan caught sight of a small spot of light that was bobbing up and down in front of him. Even though Lin Fan did not know what that was, any single weird occurrence right now could mean a way for him to get out of this place altogether.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan leaped forth towards that bobbing spot of light.

The moment he arrived near the light, the image before his eyes changed entirely.

His surroundings were no longer dark. In fact, it was extremely bright, as he found himself located somewhere in the midst of a village.

"Xiguang, come and catch me!"

"Big Brother Long Xuan, wait up! I can't run any further!"

Two kids who were laughing happily darted by Lin Fan.

'Could that be when Long Xuan and the Marquis of Despair were kids?' Lin Fan looked at his surroundings in astonishment. His heart was skipping faster as well. What a strange place this was!

Suddenly, the image changed once more.

"He is a b*stard child! Kill him!" Within the village, a bunch of people from the Dragon race had a single child tied up to a thick beam. All of them were glaring at that child with hatred and detest in their eyes.

The image changed again.

"I'm Long Xuan, what's your name!" A small kid was dangling a strand of grass in his mouth as he stood before another kid who had buried his head in his knees. This kid who was standing up stretched out his palm with a bright and dazzling smile on his face.

"Xiguang." The other vulnerable kid, whose face was pale and whose eyes were filled with fright, replied feebly.

Just as Lin Fan was watching the scene, it changed yet again.

"Big Brother Long Xuan, don't ever leave me, alright…?" Xiguang's eyes were filled with hope.

"For sure! I'll never ever leave Little Guang!"

...

"Big Brother Long Xuan! Where are you…?" Within the village, a lost Xiguang was looking around frantically and helplessly.

...

"Burn him! He's a b*stard child! He's a b*stard child of the ancient race!"

"BIG BROTHER LONG XUAN! DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE ME? YOU LIED…!" Tied on the thick beam, Xiguang was crying out at the top of his lungs.

...

"Are you feeling despaired right now? Do you require power? Power which could allow you to destroy everything in your way." Within the darkness, a sinister pair of eyes was witnessing the entire happenings.

"Everyone has betrayed me…I NEED POWER!"

The village descended into a sea of flames as everyone within perished entirely…

Image after image, Lin Fan was just swimming through them right now.

Eventually, that kid that had massacred the entire village left.

Tens of years later, a handsome and suave young man returned from his sect. Looking at the derelict village before him, his eyes were filled with sadness.

"Little Guang! Where have you gone to? I now possess a great amount of power that I can protect you with! But where have you gone to…?"

First up, I know this is really confusing and I have no idea why, but the author suddenly decided to throw the Divine Celestial Cultivation State back to levels. I'll update more as we move on further ahead.

But argh. Seriously, why must Long Xuan die. Also, I’m really finding it hard to stop feeling that pinch of pain for the Marquis of Despair. In fact, I’m wondering right now. Why was he looking for Lin Fan back then…?

Also, the fact that the system actually notified him that he was entering the Realm of Despair? How ominous does this sound?!

Chapter 543: Time To Start The Plan.
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

The images appeared momentarily before disappearing, just like snowflakes.

'What a tragic story.'

This was the only thought in Lin Fan's mind. The Marquis of Despair had led an extremely sorrowful life. Lin Fan was feeling somewhat saddened by the whole tale.

This was such a pure love that had met with such a tragic end. Even though it was between a child and an adult, love was something that knew no boundaries.

Just as Lin Fan was letting out a look of melancholy, he was attracted to an interesting sight before him. In that pitch-black darkness, a figure laid prostrated. His bum was raised high into the air, swinging and twerking left and right.

"No, NO…!"

The voice was somewhat hoarse, as though he was experiencing some horrific event, leading to the utter breakdown of his mental state and losing control of his own sanity.

At the start, Lin Fan did not know who it was. However, when he caught sight of the features of that person, he grinned. And in fact, this was a bright grin.

"Gu Xiao!"

Lin Fan had not expected his luck to be THIS good! To think that he would bump into Gu Xiao! At the moment, Gu Xiao's face was extremely tormented. Evidently, he had already sunken deep within the Marquis of Despair's Realm of Despair.

"Hey there, little buddy!" Lin Fan hollered out at Gu Xiao. However, it was as if Gu Xiao did not hear him at all, as he continued wailing out there. Those malevolent eyes of his were dim, without any sign of life, as his consciousness seemed to have been completely absorbed by the Realm of Despair.

Lin Fan was contemplating earlier on about how to kill Gu Xiao. However, by the looks of the situation right now, there was no need for that anymore. He could just simply kill this guy outright just like this!

Coming beside Gu Xiao, Lin Fan gave that raised bum of his a few kicks. However, there was no reaction at all.

This caused Lin Fan to get exhilarated.

'How should I get the most out of this piece of trash? Also, I must make sure that I leave nothing out.' Lin Fan rubbed his chin as he contemplated slowly. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with an idea.

"Thunder Trainer King, come on out!"

"Master." The Thunder Trainer King appeared before Lin Fan instantly and greeted him politely. Turning around to face that Gu Xiao there, those bright, innocent eyes of the Thunder Trainer King flashed brightly, filling up with a look of thirst.

"Train him up well." Lin Fan had already thought up of a perfect plan.

In order to create the maximum impact before the beings of the thousands of races out there, Lin Fan had to put in a good load of effort. How could he let this ancient race being die so easily?

"Yes!" The Thunder Trainer King replied eagerly. Turning around to look at Gu Xiao once more, he smacked his lips with a chilling fervor.

Lin Fan had the utmost confidence in handing Gu Xiao over to the Thunder Trainer King. After all, with the Thunder Trainer King, everything was bound to be fine.

With that cruel set of training devised by the Thunder Trainer King, every single living being in the world would have to bow down under the might of the Thunder Trainer King.

...

"Eh? Where has the Marquis of Despair gone to?" Lin Fan looked around at his surroundings, trying to make out for any traces of the Marquis of Despair. If he wanted to get out of this Realm of Despair, he would definitely have to locate the Marquis of Despair.

Just then, a series of sounds rang out from the distance. Without hesitation, Lin Fan leaped forth from his spot and headed off into the direction of those sounds.

The source of those sounds was definitely the Marquis of Despair.

If he were to follow along this direction, Lin Fan would definitely be able to track him down.

At this moment, the Marquis of Despair was kneeling on the spot and clutching Long Xuan tightly in his arms. That expression on the Marquis of Despair's face was heart-wrenching to watch.

"Long Xuan, don't leave me…" The Marquis of Despair murmured like a living dead zombie right now. His gaze was dim and empty, without that same iciness from before. Right now, he was more like a pitiable person who had just lost everything in his life.

"Who…?" The moment Lin Fan appeared, the Marquis of Despair raised that depressed face of his and looked at Lin Fan.

The moment Lin Fan's eyes crossed with the Marquis of Despair's, his heart jerked for a moment. However, he steadied himself forcefully. How could he falter at such a moment?

Furthermore, Lin Fan knew that there was definitely no way he could take down the Marquis of Despair given his current strength. However, catching sight of those images from before did give him some ideas.

No matter whether or not they would work, he had to give it a shot.

"You've met me before." Lin Fan said calmly.

"You're that human." The Marquis of Despair recalled before lowering his head to look at Long Xuan again.

"That's right. I am that human. Do you wish to never leave his side? I can help you with that." Lin Fan continued.

"That's impossible! Impossible! I'm being controlled by the Utmost Being! No one can help me. No one at all!" The Marquis of Despair shook his head blankly as his expression changed once more. It was as if his mind had just gone berserk yet again.

"That's right! How can anyone else appear here before me? You're all supposed to die! ALL OF YOU SHALL DIE!" That initially calm expression of the Marquis of Despair turned nasty once more as he bellowed at Lin Fan.

The moment the Marquis of Despair started going mad once more, Lin Fan was startled. Sensing that things were about to head south, he hurriedly added on, "If you don't give it a shot, how would you know it's useless? Unless you mean to tell me that you don't wish to be by Long Xuan's side, and you're unwilling to give up everything you possess right now?"

"Shut up! What does a mere human such as yourself understand?" The Marquis of Despair shot a bloodied gaze at Lin Fan with his bloodshot eyes. It seemed that if Lin Fan said even one more sentence, he would slay Lin Fan without any hesitation at all.

"I understand... I understand everything. If you do not wish to lose Long Xuan, you must have faith in me. Otherwise, if you delay it any further, even if you kill everyone right here, you would never see him ever again." Lin Fan replied.

Right now, Lin Fan was recalling every single dogsh*t scenario he had ever known from those television serials. Eventually, this was the plan he had thought up of.

Any single antagonistic BOSS would never be a frenzied murdering demon if they had someone they cared about around them.

This was especially the case if the person they cared for wanted to leave them. At those critical junctures, they would definitely accede to any request in order to retain those that they cared about for the rest of their lives.

This was the bet that Lin Fan was hedging on right now. And by the looks of the Marquis of Despair's expression, the probability of this working out was really high as well.

The Marquis of Despair looked at Lin Fan without saying anything. That was all he did, looking silently.

'Heaven and Earth Smelt, come on out!'

Instantly, this utmost treasure of the system, the Heaven and Earth Smelt, appeared within the Realm of Despair.

"This is an utmost treasure and can smelt everything within this Heaven and Earth. If you enter this together with Long Xuan, I can smelt both of you into weapon spirits. With that, the both of you shall share a single body and never be separated ever again for all eternity. Even that manipulating power of the utmost being of the ancient race wouldn't be able to interfere with this." Lin Fan explained.

Right now, Flying Heavens was really strong. However, it still did not have a weapon grade nevertheless. If Lin Fan could smelt Long Xuan and the Marquis of Despair into Weapon Spirits and infuse them within the Flying Heavens, he would definitely be able to unleash all the potential within Flying Heavens entirely.

"Never separated for all eternity... Released from all sufferings… Escaping the control of the utmost being forever and ever..." Looking at the Heaven and Earth Smelt, the Marquis of Despair murmured to himself once more.

"HAHA!" Suddenly, he burst up laughing. With his fragile little arms, he lifted Long Xuan up entirely.

"Long Xuan is dead. No matter how much I wish to join him, I don't even have the rights to commit suicide. No matter what you're up to, even if I die, I must be with Long Xuan! What do I have to fear? So what if I have boundless power and an unlimited amount of territories? None of them can be compared to Long Xuan at all! He came to look for me. Despite knowing that he did not abandon me back then, I've scolded him and humiliated him. All I wanted was for him to leave my side so that he would never be under the control of that horrific utmost being as well. But, he understood everything and chose to never ever leave me…"

Carrying Long Xuan, the Marquis of Despair headed towards the Heaven and Earth Smelt step by step. That pitch black fur coat was draped and dragged along those burdened shoulders of his.

At this moment, the Marquis of Despair stood at the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Smelt. Turning around to look at Lin Fan once more, he leaped straight in without any bit of hesitation.

'Don't worry! Anything that Yours Truly promised will never be reneged on.' Lin Fan thought in his heart.

He then tossed the Flying Heavens within the Heaven and Earth Smelt as well.

'The highest Dao of crafting all weapons... A telepathic fusion of two connected hearts… Smelt.'

With that, the Heaven and Earth Smelt rattled violently.

Within the Heaven and Earth Smelt, the Marquis of Despair placed Long Xuan down on the ground, and then laid down beside him.

Holding onto Long Xuan's hand, he closed his eyes.

That never changing expression of 10,000 years finally moved.

For the first time in 10,000 years, he let out a true smile, that was ever so dazzling and brilliant.

I don’t really know how to feel about this chapter. It’s pretty much a good ending if the Marquis of Despair does get to stay together with Long Xuan together. But still, it’s really tragic. I know some of you may snide at Lin Fan’s opportunistic nature of adding the Flying Heavens in. But I still think he did his part in relieving the Marquis of Despair of his misery. Shrugs, idk.

Chapter 544: Exaggerated Acting Skills!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

The Dao of crafting weapons... If not for the existence of the system, it would be easier for one to ascend the Heavens than to reach this state of weapon crafting.

On the path of crafting weapons, no one could perform this state of creating a dual lifeform weapon spirit. In fact, even if it were Lin Fan, it would have been extremely difficult for him to create something like this if he hadn't managed to find any good weapon spirits.

But, Lady Luck must have been shining on him for him to come across this couple, Long Xuan and the Marquis of Despair. Not only that, he had managed to successfully get the couple within the Heaven and Earth Smelt willingly.

This was all a great fortune on his part.

But honestly, Long Xuan's power was too weak, wasn't it? He was only a desolate celestial upper-level cultivation state.

On the other hand, the Marquis of Despair was a big BOSS. To think that his cultivation state would skyrocket to become a divine celestial level 2 after breaking down.

Seemed like shrinking down in size did increase the concentration level. Even a small being like that would have such capabilities.

Fat people would have short penises while skinny people would last shorter.

Everything in this world was made balanced.

'Ding…Congratulations on smelting.'

Suddenly, the lid of the Heaven and Earth Smelt burst open as a streak of light shot out. Instantly, the Marquis of Despair's Realm of Despair began to crack and fall apart.

'Flying Heavens: Lower graded dao weapon. Dual lifeform weapon spirit. Possesses three BUFFs. Immense and mythical uses.'

"Hahaha! It's finally done!"

Right now, Lin Fan was abnormally happy. To think that it would skip the state of spirit weapon and leap right into a dao weapon state. This was awesome!

"Thank you."

Above the Flying Heavens, two figures floated gently in the sky. These two were none other than the Marquis of Despair and Long Xuan.

A big hand was holding on to the small hand. The Marquis of Despair's face was beaming brightly from ear to ear. He was at the epitome of happiness right now.

"No problem, it's a small issue. Just make sure you guys help me kill my enemies well in the future!" Lin Fan replied casually.

"Yes!"

Honestly, Lin Fan felt some slight regret for not being able to kill the Marquis of Despair. Otherwise, with a cultivation state of divine celestial level 2, Lin Fan would definitely receive a crazy burst of experience points.

But oh well, one might as well forget it. Now that Flying Heavens possessed a dual lifeform weapon spirit, it was definitely bound to have limitless potential. He would just have to properly groom it from here on forth. One day, he would definitely use the Flying Heavens to place the ancient race beings in a Realm of Despair, and watch them crumble from within.

The Thunder Trainer King returned with a look of pleasure, evidently pleased with this training partner.

BAM!

Like a shattered mirror, the Realm of Despair turned into many pieces of shards, as they crystallized and disappeared into the world.

"Just what in the world happened earlier on?"

"Weren't we still stuck within the Realm of Despair?"

"Where are we? Are we dead?"

At this moment, all the beings of the thousands of races and the members of the six major sects were in a daze. Within the Realm of Despair, they experienced an uncontrollable amount of despair and tormenting pain in their hearts.

And just as they were feeling as though they were about to die, a beam of light pierced through the darkness and shone on them, leading them to the way out.

"You guys are not dead. With Yours Truly around, how would any weak and puny beings dare to go overboard?" Lin Fan floated up gently into the sky once more.

With an imposing disposition, he was extremely calm right now. Hands behind his back, he looked down at the beings of the thousands of races.

The moment all these beings caught sight of this Motherf*cking Human King, all of them prostrated in a frenzy.

"AH! The Motherf*cking Human King saved us!"

"Long live the Motherf*cking Human King!"

"Even the invincible Marquis of Despair has been subjugated by the Motherf*cking Human King!"

"Motherf*cking Human King, I love you!"

All the of the beings of the thousands of races were clamoring out in excitement. In fact, some of the female beings even had golden stars shooting out of their eyes as they shivered uncontrollably. It seemed like they were at the peak of physical pleasure, screaming out at Lin Fan at the top of their lungs.

For someone such as Lin Fan who had had much experience with brothels in the past, such sounds of praise and adoration came as no surprise to him.

Back in the Xuanhuang World, each time he committed a perfect act, he would always meet with the reverence of the masses. All those pretty young chicks couldn't even wait to tear off their clothes and crush Yours Truly under their loving lumps.

However, upon ascending to the Ancient Saint World, Lin Fan felt that the burden on his shoulders had increased by quite a bit. Because of that, he would have to be more mature and steady.

After that, he waved his hands slightly. That should suffice as a reciprocation for the mass adoration received.

After all, it was a crime for one to be as loved as him.

Mu Tianlong of the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect was having really mixed feelings right now. He glared at Lin Fan with both envy and hatred.

To him, he should have been the recipient of such adoration!

But to think that it would all fall onto the shoulders of that human.

Even that junior sister of his who once had respect him had left him right now for Xiesheng, who was in no way stronger than him. Because of this, Mu Longtian nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at Lin Fan, who was floating in the air, all the elders of the six major sects could not help but admit it in their hearts.

This was the pride of the human race.

They acknowledged that they themselves weren't even comparable to this human being. In fact, there might be no one in their sects who could truly match with this human being here.

Was the Human race that had dimmed away from the limelight for the past tens of thousands of years going to shine with brilliance once more?

"Human…!" Suddenly, a roar burst forth from the void.

The moment the beings of the thousands of races heard this voice, their hearts skipped a beat. At this, they could only think of a single ancient race being.

That man who claimed that he was the son of the Sovereign King Wei, Gu Xiao.

That powerful semi-divine celestial being whose powers knew no bounds.

"You're not dead yet, eh?" Lin Fan tossed his robes and looked at Gu Xiao in the distance imposingly.

"Die? How could I die! Today, I, Gu Xiao, shall have all of you lay here with your corpses!" Gu Xiao blared out in anger. However, there was a strange look in his eyes, as though he was being controlled by somebody or something.

"HURGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…!!!"

Gu Xiao let himself loose as a devastating aura erupted forth. This aura was so strong that even the Heaven and Earth rattled.

The mountains shook, and the sky turned grey. Even the stars and sun were being shrouded by the ferocity of this force, dimming without any light at all.

Under this formidable aura, all the beings of the thousands of races started to tremble. They were like little boats in the midst of a raging sea, where they could be overwhelmed by a gigantic wave at any moment.

The elders of the six major sects stood where they were, glaring at Gu Xiao.

This aura was way too strong!

It surpassed them entirely.

In the eyes of a semi-divine celestial being, they were comparable to just mere ants.

Lin Fan took in the expressions of everyone present deep into his heart before chuckling out. Tossing his hair back, he strode through the air and hollered out.

"Hmph! How dare you act so impertinently before the Motherf*cking Human King! Kneel down!"

This voice exploded out through the void. All those beings of the thousands of races who were in a state of fright felt their hearts tremble, as they burst out in cheers after hearing this voice.

That was right! They still had the Motherf*cking Human King! He would definitely kill this ancient race being!

Looking at Lin Fan, Mu Longtian gloated in his heart. Saying this was as good as saying nothing!

Every single one of the ancient race beings was vicious and cruel. Even if they were to die, they would never ever bow down to someone from the thousands of races out there!

However, the next scene had everyone's jaws agape.

An impressive aura shot out from Lin Fan's body. This aura was tough, crazy tough!

That originally menacing Gu Xiao suddenly frowned and stumbled backward rapidly, crying out shrilly.

"H-how could this be! This aura…How can it be this strong…?"

Thud.

Before the eyes of everyone present, Gu Xiao knelt down.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?" Gu Xiao screamed out in fright. "HOW ARE YOU THIS STRONG THAT EVEN I OF THE ANCIENT RACE CANNOT MATCH UP AGAINST YOU AT ALL?"

"A mere semi-divine celestial and you dare to act so brazenly before me? Know your place!" Lin Fan snorted coldly. With the flick of his robes, a razor-sharp Sword Will shot forth and sliced Gu Xiao's body cleanly.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Lin Fan floated gently in the sky. That mighty and noble disposition of his was carved into the minds of everyone else once more.

Raising a single hand, he had killed that semi-divine celestial ancient race being!

This sort of power…!

However, Lin Fan was somewhat displeased.

Gu Xiao's acting sucked man! It was a little exaggerated. But overall, the performance still worked out pretty well.

At least the Marquis of Despair and Long Xuan are happy :’)

Chapter 545: Descent of the Sovereign King Wei
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

Killing Gu Xiao brought Lin Fan a few hundred thousand experience points. However, the unexpected reward was that he also got a middle-grade Dao weapon and two lower grade ones!

'Heaven and Earth Demonic Ancient Umbrella'

'Green Solar Dragon Saber'

'Firestorm Shirt'

Seemed like Gu Xiao was a pretty rich boy indeed, unlike all the other common ancient race beings. However, recalling the fact that Gu Xiao was the son of the Sovereign King Wei, everything made sense.

Even though Lin Fan did not know what sort of an existence this Sovereign King Wei was, for him to be a direct lackey of the utmost being, he naturally couldn't be that weak.

Lin Fan then tossed the three dao weapons for his big ancient demon to devour. Lin Fan did not care about quantity when it came to treasures. Quality was what mattered.

His treasure, Demon City, was something that possessed much greater potential compared to anything else. How could he not nurture it properly? If he could raise it up to its highest state, it would definitely bring about a power that could devastate the entire world.

...

At this moment, the entire world fell silent. The beings of the thousands of races had long been mesmerized by the scene from earlier.

What had they just witnessed?

To think that the mighty and vile Gu Xiao would kneel down under a single burst of aura! This was something that had never once happened before in the Ancient Saint World!

"Motherf*cking Human King! Please accept me as your slave! I'm willing to follow you for life!"

"I can't take it anymore! This is too intense! Way too crazily intense!"

The beings of the thousands of races lost their minds entirely at this moment. They did not even know how to express this intense feeling of exhilaration in their hearts.

That image from earlier on was way too mind-blowing!

An ancient race being bowing down to someone else, this was something that had never happened before!

These former captive beings of the thousands of races, who were once overlords in their Lower Worlds below, were having mixed feelings right now.

After all, this human was someone like them, who had once looked down on all masses and living beings in their Lower Worlds. But at this moment, THEY were the masses and living beings who were being looked down upon.

Ever since they arrived at the Ancient Saint World, all of them had the same assumption, that since they were able to rule over their Lower Worlds in the past, they would definitely be able to do the same one day in the Ancient Saint World.

However, reality was a cruel thing, which slapped hard onto their faces.

In the Ancient Saint World, there were countless people who were just like them, reigning over their own Lower Worlds in the past.

However, what happened to all of them?

Most of them were either dead or suppressed. There were only a few who could return to that past state of glory.

All in all, it was because of the Heaven's Will of the Ancient Saint World.

If one were to explain all of this in terms of a game, their Lower Worlds would have been the Normal Mode, while the Ancient Saint World right now was Hell Mode.

The difference in difficulty was as great as the Heaven and Earth.

Lin Fan looked at the beings of the thousands of races and smiled calmly, waving his hand dismissively. He had long anticipated these enthusiastic cheers.

As for these beings of the thousands of races, that single smile of Lin Fan was more than enough to captivate their hearts. To them, this peerless and majestic Motherf*cking Human King was way too charismatic.

"Motherf*cking Human King."

"MOTHERF*CKING HUMAN KING!"

Lin Fan did not expect that even that single action of his could have created this number of mindless fans. But, there was something he could hardly wait for. Right now, he was eager to find out his ranking on the fugitive list.

Upon opening up the fugitive list, Lin Fan could not help but grin out. He was now number 10,000. Compared to his ranking in the tens of millions back then, the jump to 10,000 right now only took him a couple of months.

Lin Fan had massacred a million ancient race soldiers all on his own. In the Ancient Saint World, there had never been a precedence for something like this.

However, because all of the slaughtered ancient race soldiers were weaklings, he was still at the rank 10,000 right now.

But, with this ranking, Lin Fan understood that there were still at least 10,000 beings of the thousands of races who were actively resisting the ancient race.

But, this was a number that was way too small nevertheless.

Compared to the endless number of ancient race beings, 10,000 beings were nothing but a speck in the universe.

But then again, there was a heaven-defying existence such as Yours Truly within those 10,000 beings. Even if it were down to him alone, he could definitely overthrow the entire ancient race one day.

Just as Lin Fan had thought it through and was about to show off before the beings of the thousands of races yet again, a strange phenomenon occurred.

BOOM!

The boundless void in the sky was suddenly torn apart. Within the gap, black clouds thundered as a formidable aura seeped out.

"WHO WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED MY SON?"

A booming voice exploded through the void.

The moment Lin Fan heard this, his face changed immediately. Killed his son? Then, wasn't this the Sovereign King Wei who had arrived?

Holy f*ck! What the f*ck was up with the ancient race in this Ancient Saint World? Was every single damned one of them connected telepathically?

To think that he could sense the death of his son almost immediately and appear here right afterward!

How the f*ck was Lin Fan supposed to sneak on any other people from now on?

Wait, something was amiss…

Lin Fan looked over at the gap in the void. That aura that was emitted wasn't something that could devastate the entire world.

This was only his essence spirit that was descending!

"Motherf*cking Human King, you've got to be cautious. This is only a trace of the Sovereign King Wei's essence spirit that is heading over to our direction." Even though Elder Dulong's cultivation state wasn't that high, he had a wide knowledge about things. So, he reminded Lin Fan sternly.

"Elder Dulong, please take everyone with you and leave." Lin Fan replied.

"But, what about you…?"

"I'll stay here to fend him off. Don't waste time now. Hurry up." Lin Fan frowned. This was going to be sticky.

Before his essence spirit had even arrived, that aura emitted off was already that of a divine celestial cultivation state's aura. If they were to truly duke it out, Yours Truly might not be a match for that.

If this image that he had painstakingly built up were to be crushed by the trace of the Sovereign King Wei's essence spirit, he would really be suffering a major loss.

Acknowledging the urgency of the matter, Elder Dulong did not hesitate any further. To him, things should be fine given the might of the Motherf*cking Human King.

With that, Elder Dulong nodded his head along with the other elders. Given the time they had spent here, they had roughly recovered from the damage from before.

"Motherf*cking Human King, we'll meet again someday." Cupping their fists at Lin Fan and paying their final greetings of respect, Elder Dulong and the others employed a secret technique which caged the beings of the thousands of races together with them.

'Dragon race secret technique: Dimensional Shift!'

At this moment, the elders of the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect unleashed all of their powers. Their essence blood sprayed into the sky, converting into a form of power and sending them merging into the void.

"ALL OF YOU SHALL STAY HERE!"

Suddenly, it happened.

From within those rumbling black clouds, a single gigantic arm stretched out. This arm was enormous beyond anything else, with pitch black nails that were as big as mountains.

With a gentle flick, one of the nails dropped off and turned into a shroud of black smoke. The black smoke infused itself into that crystallized secret technique of the Dragon race, causing it to shatter into pieces almost immediately.

As though they had just received a massive backlash, all the elders of the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood, as they were slammed sitting crippled on the ground with a look of fear.

The moment Lin Fan caught sight of this, he was rendered speechless. So damn bloody close!

What was he to do now?

Weren't this guy's methods way too strong? He might not even be able to deal with it at all. Was he really going to have that image he had built up earlier on crumble into nothingness in an instant from being forced to run or something?

All the elders of the Desolate Ancient Dragon Sect had not expected the Sovereign King Wei's Essence Spirit to appear here. After all, the Sovereign King Wei was one of the powerful beings right under the Utmost Being.

Even this Motherf*cking Human King might not be a match for him.

The moment all the beings of the thousands of races felt this repressive aura, they began to feel fear as well. However, their gazes were filled with hope when they turned and cast them at this great Motherf*cking Human King.

"Guys, look! The Motherf*cking Human King is still extremely calm!"

"That's right! The Motherf*cking Human King is sure to protect us!"

"Sovereign King Wei, we're not afraid of you! With the Motherf*cking Human King around, how dare you act so brazenly?"

...

Suddenly, as though the former captive beings had just popped some ecstasy pills, they started hollering out in arrogance.

Lin Fan, who was toying with the idea of running away, felt all the blood drain from his face when he heard these words.

Holy f*ck! This is some serious sh*t!

They've truly misunderstood now!

All they saw was Yours Truly's calm demeanor. However, Yours Truly was contemplating about his escape route in his mind!

"Motherf*cking Human King? Hmph. How dare you kill my son? No matter who it is, everyone shall die here today!" That thunderously booming voice exploded out through the sky like crackling lightning once more.

The moment Lin Fan turned his gaze towards the void, his face changed.

He then heaved out a sigh of relief.

Whew, that was quite the scare!

Hahaha wait, what did Lin Fan catch sight of?!

Chapter 546: Noob Teammates!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

Upon hearing the type of threats that the beings of the thousands of races were raining onto the Sovereign King Wei, Lin Fan had to repress the urge to cleave down their heads with his Eternal Axe.

'Bloody hell! Even if you guys aren't afraid of death, you can't drag Yours Truly down with you! Yours Truly isn't tired of living just yet!'

But of course, this was the thought he had initially while he was stunned by the aura of the Sovereign King Wei. However, upon closer inspection of the essence spirit, Lin Fan was elated.

Divine celestial level 2 cultivation Realm state.

Seemed like this essence spirit that had descended was only equal to a divine celestial cultivation Realm state being!

If this were earlier on, perhaps this cultivation Realm state alone would have had Lin Fan crying sh*tless. However, right now, Flying Heavens had a dual lifeform weapon spirit all on its own. Within it, just the Marquis of Despair alone was of the divine celestial level 2 cultivation Realm state.

Therefore, Lin Fan came up with a new action plan. It was time to give it a shot.

With a strong backing such as the Motherf*cking Human King, Lin Fan, all of the former captive beings were filled with an immense courage right now.

No matter how weak they were personally, they felt like a peerless overlord right now. Emboldened by Lin Fan's presence, they pointed their fingers in the sky and cussed out with all sorts of nonsense. Furthermore, all of their curses were extremely imposing and cocky!

"Sovereign King Wei, your death is near!"

"The Motherf*cking Human King is going to take you down with just the back of his palms! Do you believe it?"

"We believe in it at least! Our Motherf*cking Human King's going to snuff you out!"

...

The elders of the six major sects felt a sinking feeling of despair in their hearts. They were not as ignorant of the world as these former captives.

Even though they did not know of the exact strength of the Motherf*cking Human King, they knew that he shouldn't have hit the divine celestial level 2 cultivation Realm state.

Within the Ancient Saint World, even the difference of a single cultivation state was a world of difference.

Elder Dulong and the other elders garnered that for the Motherf*cking Human King to be able to kill Gu Xiao, his cultivation state should be at the true divine celestial level 1 True state.

While the former captive beings of the thousands of races were extremely relaxed right now, Elder Dulong and the others had a really grim look on their faces.

Seemed like their deaths were truly set for this day.

With that, Elder Dulong and the others shook their heads and sighed out in helplessness.

However, at that moment, something unbelievable happened.

"Sovereign King Wei! That trash of a son of yours was killed by Yours Truly! What are you upset about?" Looking up at the void, Lin Fan hollered out majestically.

The essence spirit was changing forms rapidly. At this moment, it took on the form of a gigantic arm. From the palm of that arm, a pair of eyes and a mouth suddenly appeared.

Those eyes shone with a dark, sinister gleam.

"To think that a mere human such as yourself would dare to act so brazenly before Your Majesty? Even your ancestors would not dare to speak to me in such a manner!" He blared out.

Lin Fan was never one who was afraid of a battle of words. Since the Sovereign King Wei wanted to start the verbal battle, how could Lin Fan lose out?

"Hmph! How dare a mere essence spirit come before me so impertinently? In front of Yours Truly, your essence spirit is nothing but a mere ant! If your true body were to appear here right now, perhaps only then would Yours Truly be forced to let out a trick or two!" Lin Fan tossed his robes and replied with a domineering aura, causing everyone present to freeze up.

By now, all the elders of the six major sects were completely stumped.

Did they have the wrong idea about this human?!

Was it because this Motherf*cking Human King's cultivation state was so high compared to theirs that they could not make out his true strength at all?

There had never been anyone who had dared to speak such brazen words before the Sovereign King Wei in the Ancient Saint World!

Only if his true body were to appear would this human be forced to let out a trick or two? Didn't that mean that his true prowess was beyond the Heavens?

"Did you catch that, Sovereign King Wei? The noble Motherf*cking Human King's going to slaughter you today!"

"Long live our Motherf*cking Human King!"

"Take down the Sovereign King Wei and revive the glory of the thousands of races!"

By now, all the beings of the thousands of races were raving out in crazy excitement. Having gone through immense tortures and sufferings, the Motherf*cking Human King was their one true hope, their Heaven and Earth!

Looking at these beings of the thousands of races, a thought bubbled up in Lin Fan's mind uncontrollably.

'Are these guys really going to believe every single sh*t that Yours Truly says?'

"Just who are you?" The eyes of the Sovereign King Wei shone with a weird light as he asked sternly, as though he was taken aback by these words. Because the Sovereign King Wei could not sense the aura of this human before him, he could not tell the cultivation state of the other party.

Initially, the Sovereign King Wei had thought that he would be able to slap someone like this to death with a single slam of his hand.

But, the unfazed look of this man before him, along with the fact that he didn't seem to be giving him any bit of respect, was throwing the Sovereign King Wei a little off. He was slightly wary right now, as though this other party could truly be some really powerful being.

However, he knew all the powerful beings within the Human race right now. Just who in the world could this human be then?

"Hmph! Yours Truly is the Motherf*cking Human King. Never forget that. Yours Truly isn't someone you can afford to mess with." Lin Fan's aura was formidable without any signs of letting down at all.

"Motherf*cking Human King?" Sovereign King Wei was bewildered. He had never heard of anyone with this name.

The former captives grew excited once more.

Dulong and the others were flabbergasted as well. To think that the Motherf*cking Human King could cause the unparalleled Sovereign King Wei some astonishment!

If they had not witnessed this right for themselves, they would never have dared to believe that any being from the other races could manage to scare the Sovereign King Wei.

"Just who in the world are you exactly." Sovereign King Wei asked once more. However, his tone was no longer as imposing as before.

"Hmph! Yours Truly never repeats himself thrice. If you do not wish to lose your essence spirit right here, you had better scram now!" Lin Fan raised his chin and called out haughtily.

The moment they saw the gracefulness of their Motherf*cking Human King, all the beings of the thousands of races felt their hearts thumping with adrenaline.

This was the first time in history that the thousands of races had been so imposing!

"Listen right up, Sovereign King Wei! This person here is the noble Motherf*cking Human King! The great Lin Fan of the Human race, who shines down upon all of us with his dazzling brilliance! If you do not wish to lose your trace of essence spirit here, you had better get the f*ck out right now! In the time to come, our Motherf*cking Human King would definitely come knocking on your doorsteps and take you down personally!" Seizing the opportunity, Mu Longtian lashed out. Since he couldn't compare with the Motherf*cking Human King, he must make sure that this human has a lasting impression of him.

Who knew if he might be able to catch the eye of the Motherf*cking Human King and gain a straight path up to the Heavens!

Lin Fan was exhilarated right now. Not only was his plan working out well, the effects were pretty explosive indeed!

But right at the moment Lin Fan heard what Mu Longtian claimed, he was stunned, as he turned his head slowly around to look at Mu Longtian in utter shock.

Looking at how the Motherf*cking Human King had turned around to look at him, Mu Longtian straightened his back and revealed a beaming smile.

'Smile…YOUR MOTHER!' The moment Lin Fan caught sight of that smile, he cursed in his heart.

"Lin Fan?" Sovereign King Wei murmured before going silent.

But, Lin Fan knew that the Sovereign King Wei must be checking up on him right now.

Indeed.

In the blink of an eye, a thunderous holler boomed out from the Heavens.

"B*STARD! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TRICK YOUR MAJESTY HERE? PREPARE TO DIE!" Sovereign King Wei was totally angered by now. Upon receiving the name, he checked up the fugitive list immediately.

The moment he saw that this so-called Motherf*cking Human King, Lin Fan, was only at the desolate celestial upper level, he was thoroughly incensed.

He was the great sovereign that served directly under the utmost being. Since when had he ever been rattled by anyone else? However, to think that a mere desolate celestial ant would dare to use some secret treasure to hide away his true cultivation state and put on an act before him! If anyone else were to find out about this, where would the dignity of his great name go to?

Sovereign King Wei's hand bolted out towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan sighed helplessly and cussed under his breath.

'This is what happens when you've got noob teammates. These guys just f*cked up a possibly perfect act.'

However, even if things had come to this, Lin Fan wasn't afraid.

After all, there was always a Plan B.

He would just have to kill ahead then.

Alright, I know that things are getting confusing at some portions. Don’t worry, I’m equally confused as well, and I’ll continue to update as the author updates me. So, the thing about Realm state, this seems to be a new cultivation state just like Full cultivation. Apparently, Level 1 is True state. Level 2 is Realm state. I'm sorry it's so complicated. It's really confusing and difficult to translate as well with how abrupt the information appears without any prior guide to follow :(

Chapter 547: Slaying The Sovereign King Wei.
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

Even though this was only a single trace of essence spirit from the Sovereign King Wei, and the cultivation state was that of the divine celestial level 2 realm, there was a distinct difference between the powers of those in the same realm.

Sovereign King Wei was someone who was under the direct orders of the utmost being. Therefore, there was no doubt about his power level. He must definitely be one of the top beings of the divine celestial level 2 realm.

'You bloody b*stard! How I wish I could kill you right now!' Lin Fan looked over at Mu Longtian, and was exceptionally exasperated in his heart. How the hell did someone like this manage to stay alive up till now? Was his head f*cking filled with mush?

Back when Lin Fan had just realized that this was a single trace of essence spirit, he heaved a sigh of relief within his heart. After all, if they were to base it on just the cultivation realm, he should be pretty much safe. However, if he wanted to kill him, he would still require some tricks in order to do so.

But, IF he had managed to scare off the Sovereign King Wei into retreating instead, then the name of Yours Truly would certainly spread far and wide amongst all the beings of the thousands of races!

But right now, everything was messed up because of one Mu Longtian.

This was such an infuriating turn of events.

"Ant-like human! Today, I, Sovereign King Wei, shall have you lay down your body right here!" The Sovereign King Wei's aura was sturdy. Swiping out with that arm, even the void could not withstand the surge of power that was rippling through it, as it began to crumble apart.

Those mountain like fingers of his delved right into the void, digging a deep trench within the void itself.

"Hmph! Do you think that I'll be afraid of you?" Lin Fan focused his gaze as his battle intent almost turned into a physical being, countering the massive aura of the Sovereign King Wei.

'Demon City!'

'Flying Heavens!'

The two dao weapons swiveled out and occupied the Heaven and Earth. The big ancient demon howled out menacingly, bursting forth with an intense demonic aura.

"Big ancient demon?" Evidently, the big ancient demon was someone that was extremely well known amongst the ancient race. As such, the Sovereign King Wei was no stranger to him either.

"Human, could this be the reason why you would dare to act so insolently before Your Majesty here? All because you inherited the legacy of the big ancient demon? But, what a pity! You don't have what it takes just yet. That dao weapon of yours? Your Majesty here shall take it for himself!" The Sovereign King Wei blared out as his titanic arm grabbed out at the big ancient demon.

The big ancient demon was angered right now, as though he had some sort of blood feud with the ancient race beings. Suddenly, his body expanded rapidly, turning into a colossal demon.

With a single punch, he smashed at the galactical rivers.

'The big ancient demon has yet to reach its true peak form. Compared to the essence spirit of the Sovereign King Wei, the difference is really far too much.' Lin Fan frowned.

'Shengyang Pills Burn!'

Instantly, Lin Fan incinerated 3,000,000 Shengyang Pills. Shengyang Pills made use of the Solar Yang energy, and its strongest form was when it was in flames. This could allow the dao weapon to exert a greater amount of strength.

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

The moment the big ancient demon sniffed out this thick amount of energy, he bellowed out furiously as his power level began spiking up.

"Master! Give me 2,000,000 more! I want to unleash my World Devastating Magic!" The powers of the big ancient demon had reached a bottleneck right now. It just wasn't enough!

Ever since the big ancient demon had obtained a consciousness of his own, he could begin to communicate with Lin Fan once more. Even though he had forgotten about everything from the past, his original fighting skills remained the same.

"2,000,000 more?" Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. This big ancient demon was way too extravagant with pills, wasn't he? In the blink of an eye, 5,000,000 Shengyang Pills were gone just like that!

However, now was not the time to be bothered about that. Since Lin Fan had already decided to go all out, even if he were to use up all the Shengyang Pills, he would just have to snatch over more of them from others.

'Alright! Make sure you f*ck this guy up real good!' Lin Fan cried out as he slapped his storage. Immediately, countless Shengyang Pills exploded into a river and flowed towards the direction of the big ancient demon.

Sensing the steady rise in the big ancient demon's powers, the tone of the Sovereign King Wei changed as well.

"Big ancient demon, to think that as an utmost being of the ancient beasts, you would allow yourself to become a weapon spirit. Where has your dignity gone to?" Sovereign King Wei scoffed out.

"Hmph! How could a mere ancient being such as yourself understand the dazzling brilliance of my Master?" The big ancient demon stepped right into the Demon City. That deep gaze of his suddenly shone with a golden glow, as though he had attained the highest form of his existence.

'Demonic Punch of Truth.'

The big ancient demon howled out as his body expanded by a few more times instantly. With that single punch, a shockwave was sent rippling out through the air. It was as though the entire Heavens were bound to collapse under the might of this single punch.

This punch seemed to possess the life of every single weird and strange ancient beast within the Ancient Saint World, as though it held the highest order of truth amongst the ancient beasts.

'ARGH!'

Unable to block this punch, Sovereign King Wei was sent retreating backward for a huge distance.

"Damn it!" With a maddened holler, his gigantic arm flung out as those fingernails of his, which were the size of mountains, fell off. As if they were released from a slingshot, all of them flung themselves at the gigantic fist of the big ancient demon, turning into a black mist upon clashing.

'Heavenly Covering Demonic Hand!'

No matter what, Sovereign King Wei was a powerful being of the divine celestial cultivation state. Even though this was only a trace of his essence spirit, he was still howling out in anger against this strike of the big ancient demon.

Instantly, the sky changed colors as black clouds began to rumble. In the form of a mess of meat and blood, it covered the entire sky.

"Big ancient demon, hold him back!" Lin Fan felt his spirit jerk for a moment as he ordered the big ancient demon to hold back the fort for now. At the same time, he comprehended the true power of the Sovereign King Wei.

Seemed like he had been too careless earlier on, thinking that he had a shot at this just because the opponent was only at a divine celestial level 2 cultivation realm.

But right now, he truly realized that he had really overthought things.

The power that just this single trace of essence spirit possessed was far beyond that of anyone else in this cultivation realm.

"Human, you've been too arrogant. So what if you've got those millions of Shengyang Pills burning up? In the face of the Sovereign King Wei, you're still nothing but an ant!" Sovereign King Wei bellowed as this heaven-encompassing power slammed into the big ancient demon.

Lin Fan did not let this get to him. Flying Heavens was still hidden in the voids right now, revolving furiously. The Marquis of Despair and Long Xuan stood upright with their hands held together, their powers rising rapidly as well.

Lin Fan knew that while the Marquis of Despair was also a divine celestial level 2 cultivation realm being, the difference between him and the Sovereign King Wei was still pretty significant. However, right now, Lin Fan could not afford to hesitate any longer.

'Slay!'

With that, the Flying Heavens which was hidden in the void swiveled and bolted out. This massive surge of energy tore through anything in its way.

The Marquis of Despair churned out his True Skill seed, unleashing the Realm of Despair and bringing Flying Heavens to its peak status.

"What's this?" Sovereign King Wei couldn't help but be startled suddenly. However, it was all too late. The speed of Flying Heavens right now had surpassed anything in this world, as it glided through the void and tunneled into the gigantic black arm.

"The power of despair? Marquis of Despair!" Sovereign King Wei wanted to drive this unknown object out of his arm. However, he realized to his dismay that the moment his own energy was sent towards it, it was blocked and swallowed by the power of despair.

"Sovereign King Wei, Yours Truly has said so from the very beginning. Since you don't wish to scram, then you shall stay here for Yours Truly!" Lin Fan burst out laughing.

Seizing the opportunity, the big ancient demon hollered out madly before grabbing at the essence spirit of the Sovereign King Wei with his right arm and tugging massively.

With that, he tore out the right arm that was formed from the trace of the Sovereign King Wei's essence spirit from the void.

'Burst!'

The rotation speed of the Flying Heavens was immense, as it caused the void around it to vibrate immensely. In the blink of an eye, the Sovereign King Wei's arm exploded, and his blood sprayed across the sky.

"DAMNED HUMAN! YOU HAD BETTER WAIT FOR ME!" With that incensed howl, the trace of essence spirit burst forth from the arm and tried to escape into the void.

"Hmph, how could you think of leaving after you've arrived here? Do you really think you can leave without leaving anything behind?" Looking at the escape attempt of the Sovereign King Wei, Lin Fan jeered out coldly.

Opening his massive mouth, the big ancient demon sucked with all his might.

The Marquis of Despair and Long Xuan looked at one another as they both unleashed their greatest powers as well. Slapping out towards the essence spirit of the Sovereign King Wei, the boundless amount of power of despair blocked out the entire Heaven and Earth, as it suppressed the essence spirit of the Sovereign King Wei without any mercy at all.

"HUMAN, YOU'RE COURTING DEATH!" Sovereign King Wei was in a frenzy right now. To think that this human would dare to think of devouring his trace of essence spirit!

"Hmph, it's not the first time Yours Truly is saying this. Unless you come here physically, you're nothing but an ant to Yours Truly!" Sweeping his robes, Lin Fan grabbed at the essence spirit of the Sovereign King Wei and swallowed it down his tummy.

Alright, so from this chapter, I’m supposing that the meaning of cultivation realm is in fact the same as cultivation state. Just that realm practically refers to everyone else with that same cultivation state. Gosh, the amount of confusing new terms. Cheers!

Chapter 548: Why Did He Take Things So Seriously?
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

"HAHA!"

The moment Lin Fan swallowed the essence spirit of the Sovereign King Wei into his tummy, Sovereign King Wei somehow started bursting out in laughter.

"Foolish ant! How dare you swallow Your Majesty into your tummy? Alright then, Your Majesty shall devour your entire consciousness and take over your body then! Everything you have shall belong to Your Majesty! Your wealth, fortune, body, cultivation state, and women! Hehe! That's right, especially your women! Oh, Your Majesty will take extra care to train them up well!" Sovereign King Wei sniggered sinisterly as though he had not expected this human to swallow him in.

"Dumb f*ck." Lin Fan did not have anything much to say anymore. All he felt was that this Sovereign King Wei was way too dumb.

"YOU…!" To think that this human would dare to remain so brazen even in the face of death! Sovereign King Wei was so angered that even his essence spirit was rattling right now.

"Alright then! I shall let you know of Your Majesty's true powers! Devour! Devour!" The essence spirit of the Sovereign King Wei bellowed out consistently. He had it up till here. He was bent on devouring this darned human's soul altogether!

1!

2!

3!

'Time's up.'

Lin Fan was counting down silently. How could all these living beings in the world dare to consume just about anything they saw before them, without even having what it took?

"ARGH! WHAT'S THIS? IMPOSSIBLE! NO…!"

Indeed, as Lin Fan had expected, the tragic wails of the Sovereign King Wei rose up at that instant.

"Oh! You're truly a dumb f*ck." Lin Fan sighed. Yours Truly had the system with him. What in the world was the system? It was a bloody invincible existence! Just this mere Sovereign King Wei wished to devour Lin Fan? What a fool's dream that was!

'Ding…Congratulations on killing a trace of Sovereign King Wei's essence spirit.'

'Ding…Experience points +200,000'

'Ding…Congratulations on leveling up.'

'Cultivation State: Desolate celestial full cultivation state.'

'Wow! This was the best!' Right now, Lin Fan was practically floating on the heavens itself. To think that a single trace of essence spirit from Sovereign King Wei could produce these many experience points! This was fabulous!

If he could kill the Sovereign King Wei for real, wouldn't the amount of experience points truly skyrocket by then?

But, the only feeling of pain that Lin Fan had right now was that all those Shengyang Pills that he had painstakingly saved up were all exhausted in an instant. He could have been considered a pretty wealthy man earlier on. However, he became a pauper in the blink of an eye.

And, the one responsible for all of this? Mu Longtian.

The moment Mu Longtian realized that the Motherf*cking Human King was looking over at him, his heart skipped a beat on sensing that something was amiss. However, that was not right either. He didn't have any sort of bad blood with the Motherf*cking Human King. So, why would the Motherf*cking Human King bear any grudges or anything against him?

"Long live the Motherf*cking Human King!" With that, Mu Longtian was the first one to cheer out. Those former captive beings of the thousands of races, who were doused in shock right now, snapped back into their senses and hurrayed.

"The Motherf*cking Human King is ferocious without a worthy opponent!"

"The Motherf*cking Human King is the greatest!"

...

For the beings of the thousands of races, they were truly blinded this time around by the awesomeness. That was way too exhilarating, way too imposing!

To think that the Sovereign King Wei, such a powerful being of the ancient race, would find himself being slain by the Motherf*cking Human King! Who else could be a match for the Motherf*cking Human King?

By now, all the beings of the thousands of races had been converted into brain-damaged fans of the Motherf*cking Human King, as they cheered with their lives.

As for Dulong and the others, they remained in a state of shock.

"Motherf*cking Human King." Dulong looked up at Lin Fan who was floating gently in the sky. Suddenly, his face changed ever so slightly. Before anyone knew it, he was cheering out like the beings of the thousands of races, "LONG LIVE…!"

Whoever said that anyone mature would never turn into a brain-damaged fan of an idol would only say that because they had yet to meet with someone so captivating.

In the Ancient Saint World, strength reigned supreme over everything else.

And, the kind of prowess that was displayed by Lin Fan had long convinced all of them entirely. Furthermore, it wasn't just his power that had them convinced. It was his courage as well.

Looking at everything calmly, Lin Fan eventually submerged into the pleasure of all the adoration and cheers.

…..

In a secret chamber of the royal city somewhere far away…

Sovereign King Wei's eyes jerked open suddenly. That initially malevolent expression of his turned ever more sinister.

"DAMN B*STARD. HOW DARE HE KILL OFF MY ESSENCE SPIRIT?" This time around, the Sovereign King Wei was truly angered.

He was at the bottleneck of breaking through to the next cultivation state. Right at the critical juncture, he felt his bloodline tingle. After that, he realized that his child had been killed by someone else.

Blood was thicker than water after all. Therefore, he was naturally enraged. Separating a single trace of essence spirit from himself, he then gave chase to that location.

But to think that the darned human would dare to kill off his essence spirit! Damn it! GOD DAMN IT!

In the beginning, Sovereign King Wei was genuinely startled by Lin Fan for a moment. After all, he did not know whether the other party might be some powerful being. If he were and they had exchanged blows, the other party could have used his essence spirit as a basis and tracked down his true body.

If that were the case, his plan of breaking through to the next state of cultivation state would definitely be destroyed.

However, upon realizing that this human was just playing tricks on him, he was entirely incensed. Without a single bit of hesitation, he then fought the human straight on, determined to crush him mercilessly.

To think that this human would have these many tricks up his sleeves! Because of that, he took a huge loss of having his essence spirit go down.

The moment he recalled that cocky expression on the face of that human, Sovereign King Wei burned with rage.

"Damn it! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN IT! Your Majesty has trodden over the eight districts for tens of thousands of years. Since when have I been subjected to such humiliation?"

"Alright, since that's the case, then Your Majesty shall give up on breaking through to the next cultivation state for now and kill you, f*cker! Only then can I truly ease this feeling of hatred in my heart!" Sovereign King Wei seethed with frustration.

"BREAK!"

With that single holler, all the energy around his body began to gather immediately, congealing altogether. A single golden pill that was formed in the void burst open immediately, converting into a huge amount of energy and flowing back into his body.

Instantly, the gaze of the Sovereign King Wei's eyes shone brightly. This essence light pierced through the Heaven and Earth, looking down on everything in this world.

"Human! As you have wished for it, Your Majesty shall head down there personally! It's time for you to shiver under the might of Your Majesty!" Sovereign King Wei's eyes were filled with loathing.

Slicing through the void with his hands, he dived right in and headed straight for the Despair City.

...

At this moment, Lin Fan's demeanor was maxed out as he engaged in casual conversation with the elders of the six major sects. Looking at their looks of reverence towards him, he did feel a bit of glee in his heart.

The adoring gazes of the masses and the respect of them all...

What an amazing feeling this was?

Back in the Xuanhuang World, Yours Truly had always been such a high profile figure. Upon entering the Ancient Saint World, this should be the way things should continue being.

Seemed like if one had the capabilities, no matter where one went, they would be met with the same treatment.

Initially, the elders of the six major sects had extended their invitations for Lin Fan to be a guest at their sects. After all, Lin Fan was such a powerful being in their eyes. It'd be good if they could string some ties with him so that they could seek his help lest they meet with any trouble in the Ancient Saint World in the future.

However, to Lin Fan, time was of the essence. He did not have the spare time to indulge in enjoyments as such. It'd be good if he could use the time to kill some more ancient race beings.

Because of that, he rejected them politely.

Naturally, the elders of the six major sects were somewhat dejected. However, the thought that there was a Motherf*cking Human King within the beings of the thousands of races who would stand up against the ancient race instilled greater confidence in them for their future. Because of that, they still cheered up nevertheless.

Looking at the elders of the six major sects deploying their own secret techniques to send their disciples back to their sects, Lin Fan prepared to leave this place as he headed forth as well.

Now that he had overthrown the entire Despair City, there was still a Sovereign King Wei awaiting him. He would continue pushing forth one step at a time, till he had killed the utmost being of this district himself. That was the time when he would truly have what it took to challenge the ancient race outright.

Humming his favorite tune, Lin Fan skipped happily, ready to leave this place.

Suddenly, the void exploded open.

"HUMAN. Your Majesty's true self is here…!"

"EHHHHHH…?" Lin Fan stopped in his tracks. That happy smile on his face was wiped off entirely and replaced with a dumbstruck look.

'Why the hell would there be an ancient race being in this world who took things so seriously?' Beads of perspiration began to drip down Lin Fan's forehead.

"Elders! I want to head to your sects as a guest!" Right now, Lin Fan seriously regretted his actions. Why did he not agree to their invitations earlier on? If he had, he would have left this place successfully!

However, it was all too late right now.

After all, Sovereign King Wei was here personally.

Chapter 549: Not Running… Can't Run Anymore!
Translator: Lam_  Editor: Hitesh_

This boundless aura affected the entire sky as the black clouds lined the place while rumbling ominously. That initially sunny scene had dimmed down entirely at this moment, as though doomsday was arriving.

Pitch black thunderbolts tore through the entire void as these bolts of devastating energies filled up the whole atmosphere.

'Such immense power!'

Upon sensing the impending power that was arriving, Lin Fan was stupefied. To think that the Sovereign King Wei would be such a petty person! Yours Truly had only killed a single trace of essence spirit of his, and that was enough to have him sending himself down personally? Did he really have to go to that extent?

And, the thing that left Lin Fan the most speechless was that every single novel that he had ever read was a bag of lies!

Based on the plotlines of all those novels, after he had disposed of that trace of essence spirit, the Sovereign King Wei would definitely just hate him. At the very most, he would cuss out in fury and swear that he would get rid of this human one fine day.

But, why the hell did he send himself right over in a huff without a single bit of hesitation, just because a single trace of essence spirit of his was destroyed?

Based on this fact alone, every single thing out there was pure lies!

'Run.'

Instantly, this was the only thought that appeared in Lin Fan's mind. As far as he could, he would run without stopping for even a single moment. Otherwise, he would definitely die without even knowing how.

'So Far, Yet So Near!'

'Earth Spirit river!'

Using the force he had once used to suck on titties as a baby, Lin Fan sprinted off into the distance.

'So Far, Yet So Near' was a godly technique. With the boost of the Earth Spirit river, his speed was faster than anything else.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan disappeared from his original spot.

BOOM!

A sudden explosion boomed out as the entire firmament was torn open by an enormous pair of hands. A line ripped through the Heaven and Earth. Within this gap that was torn apart, the stars and the moons flew by. This was an entrance more domineering than anything anyone had ever seen.

Suddenly, a gigantic and horrifying head stretched out from the gap. The features of this head were impossible to describe with any other word than horrific. That sinister gaze swept through the entire world. As he opened his monstrous mouth, it was as though that single opening could devour the entire Ancient Saint World.

"Ant-like human! If you think that you can escape from the reaches of Your Majesty, you must be dreaming really hard!" The sinister voice of the Sovereign King Wei permeated through the sky.

'Explode, explode!' Lin Fan churned his Mythical Parasol Tree and ran with all his might. That horrifying aura was coming right up to his ears.

'He shouldn't be able to catch up, I hope!' Lin Fan did not know where in the world he had arrived or whether the Sovereign King Wei had managed to catch up with him.

However, the moment he turned his head and looked up at the void, he nearly felt his soul shocked out of his body.

This gigantic head that was stuck in the middle of that tear in the voids had been following him above in the sky.

"Holy f*ck! This guy's not leaving me with any way out!" Lin Fan exclaimed out in shock and instantly felt exasperated.

The moment he caught sight of the Sovereign King Wei's true powers, he almost exploded out in fright.

Divine celestial level 7, All to One state.

All in all, there were 10 cultivation states in the divine celestial realm.

Level 1, True state.

Level 2, Realm state.

Level 3, Paradise state.

Level 4, Undying state.

Level 5, Essence Spirit state.

Level 6, Law state.

Level 7, All to One state.

Level 8, Universal Elixir state.

Level 9, Eight Desolates United state.

Level 10, Eternal God state.

Lin Fan had some knowledge about these cultivation states. However, they were still quite foreign to him. After all, he was still just a desolate celestial full cultivation being right now.

And other than that, the only powerful beings of the human race he had met were the Heavenly Emperor Yuan and the others. However, Lin Fan did not know what their cultivation states were. Though, he garnered that they should be stronger than this Sovereign King Wei.

But all in all, these were all just guesses on Lin Fan's part.

Right now, the Sovereign King Wei was at Level 7, the All to One state. When one attained this state, they would fuse together all their beings into one. Their cultivation state, spirit, and soul, everything would be fused together, without any distinction. The same went for the True Skill seeds. Every single True Skill seed would be combined into a culmination of everything. With that, a single raise of his hand would possess an incredible amount of power.

"Hmph, want to run?" Following Lin Fan closely, the Sovereign King Wei hollered out.

Just this single holler was enough to cause a reaction between the Heaven and Earth. A beam of light that was as sharp as a blade, pierced through everything as it bolted straight at Lin Fan.

"Holy f*ck! What the f*ck is that?" Lin Fan was so scared right now that he had goosebumps all over his body. Without hesitating at all, he started running in a zigzag manner.

PSHEW! PSHEW!

The light pierced the ground and penetrated through it instantly.

Slice!

"THAT STINGS!" Lin Fan bit down on his lips as he broke out in cold sweat.

'Ding…Eternal Immortality experience points +100,000.'

'Ding…Physical Body State leveled up.'

'Ding…Physical Body State: Desolate celestial lower level.'

Even with that azure celestial full cultivation physical body state, Lin Fan's body was still sliced cleanly like a piece of paper against these razor sharp beams of light.

If not for the fact that he was running in a flirtatious style, he would have long been turned into a beehive.

Also, there was no way he was going to pay attention to the amount of experience points that were being received by the system right now. The only way he would use this to level would be if he really had a death wish.

"Any ants who dare to rile Your Majesty would only have a single path awaiting them, death!" The arm of the Sovereign King Wei ripped through that tear in the void and stretched out. With a single grab, all the ground in a radius of a hundred miles vibrated immensely.

A devastating amount of power turned into a current that surged right into the ground. This current was berserk, as it pushed in from all directions.

BAM!

Looking at the incoming force, Lin Fan leaped right up from the ground without any thoughts at all.

'HOLY F*CK! How does one even fight against this sh*t? ' Lin Fan was at a thorough loss right now. He had thought that he might be able to get out with that flirtatious way of running. However, coming to think of it, he might only have been trying to deceive himself.

The difference in power had completely disregarded everything else.

No matter how flirtatious his way of running was, or how mythical the Earth Spirit river was, none of it mattered.

Could it be that Yours Truly was going to fall right here not long after he had termed himself the Motherf*cking Human King?

How tragic would that be? How sorrowful would that be?!

"Ant, what's wrong? Why aren't you running anymore?" Looking at this ant that was struggling to get out of his grasp, Sovereign King Wei sneered coldly.

"No more running... I can't run anymore." Lin Fan admitted his loss. Right now, if he were to go head on, he would only die even faster. He might as well act weak and feeble to gain some time for himself instead. Who knew if he might be able to think up of some brilliant plan in that time.

In fact, Lin Fan had even considered the fact that if the other party were of a low intellect, his act of cowardice might even cause the other party to show signs of weaknesses as well. If he could seize those chances, he might be able to even slam his brick right at the other party's head.

With that thought, Lin Fan's heart was reignited with an immense hope.

"Hoho? Motherf*cking Human King, Your Majesty here has already descended personally. Right now, Your Majesty is really curious to know how you're going to let me have a hard time against you, you know? Your Majesty is dying to find out." Gradually, the Sovereign King Wei shrunk down in size as he descended from that tear in the void. That imposing figure of his stood between the Heaven and Earth as he looked at Lin Fan with absolute mockery.

Those mocking eyes seemed as though they were looking at a mere ant.

Lin Fan looked at the Sovereign King Wei awkwardly. At the same time, he was speechless in his heart. To think that this guy would bear a grudge over those words of his.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lin Fan's brows twitched. He did have an idea. While he wasn't certain of its success, he had to give it a shot no matter what.

With that, Lin Fan's face suddenly changed as he grinned slyly, "How could that be? Sovereign King Wei, your powers surpass the world itself, and you possess a disposition of pure superiority. Given an additional hundred years, even the seat as one of the utmost beings of the ancient race would belong to you, that's for sure. I'm just a mere puny human being! How would I dare to act insolently before you?"

Right now, Lin Fan's tempo had changed entirely. If the beings of the thousands of races were to see their revered Motherf*cking Human King bow down in weakness in front of the Sovereign King Wei, they would definitely be heartbroken.

But right now, there was only Lin Fan and the Sovereign King Wei present. If he were to continue acting with his bullsh*t, the Sovereign King Wei would definitely be the one schooling him properly.

By then, there would indeed be no hope left.

Okay, thank you dear author for that gigantic information bomb. Gosh, if he had explained the existence of these 10 states earlier on, we wouldn’t have been so confused. Also, there’s only an explanation for Level 7 right now, so I’ll continue to update with more information about the other Levels should he provide them. Gosh, this author. But, honestly, Divine Celestial Level 7? HOW IS LIN FAN GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS?!?!?! Cheers!
