229: Heartbroken, the senior is isolated

That cry, filled with longing and sincerity, even carrying a hint of a sob, echoed over the silent altar.

"Senior!"

"Please increase your intensity!"

"It's just a little bit more, please don't hold back on me!"

Time seemed to be frozen.

Space also seemed to have solidified.

On the altar, all hundreds of Prodigies had their mouths agape, eyes vacant, their brains having completely stopped functioning.

They watched the man in the center of the altar, his expression fanatical as if he were martyring himself for the Dao, while their worldviews were being repeatedly struck by an invisible giant hammer, crushed into the most primitive powder.

The color had long since faded from Yao Tianqi's face, leaving only a deathly pallor like paper.

The status he took pride in, the dignity of the Crown Prince of the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Dynasty, was torn to shreds before this inconceivable scene that defied all logic.

What kind of thing is this?

A monster?

No.

A devil.

This is a peerless devil wearing human skin, taking pleasure in toying with the world.

Yue Xi's cold eyes were contracting violently at this moment.

She stared fixedly at Lin Fan, her body trembling uncontrollably.

That was not fear.

It was an instinctive reaction after catching a glimpse of some forbidden truth, her Soul having received a massive shock.

Her Spirit Eyes that could pierce through falsehoods were pushed to the limit at this moment.

Yet what she saw was still a mist of Law that could not be understood, could not be analyzed, and violated the supreme principles of heaven and earth.

The only thing on the entire altar that was still moving was perhaps the magnificent phantom above the clouds.

It was fluctuating violently.

The space around it, like the surface of a lake into which a boulder had been thrown, rippled with visible rings, and even began to show pitch-black cracks.

That was its Dao Heart, which had become so chaotic that it could no longer maintain the stability of its own existence.

An unprecedented Aura, carrying extreme suppression and anger, crashed down from the Nine Heavens.

"Good..."

After a long while.

A single word was squeezed out from the mouth of the magnificent phantom, as if it had used all its strength.

"What a 'living towards death'!"

These six words were no longer filled with the previous majesty and indifference, but were full of gnashing teeth.

It had been provoked.

Provoked repeatedly and ruthlessly by a Mortal who, in its eyes, didn't even count as an ant, in a way it could not comprehend.

This was no longer a test.

This was the most naked humiliation of the Dao it had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and the Law it had mastered.

It had decided.

It was going to use a sliver of true Law power.

It was going to completely erase this anomaly who dared to blaspheme the might of heaven, from existence to concept, from past to future.

Let it see, this time, how you can still resurrect.

The phantom of Elder Jieyin slowly raised its hand.

This time, its fingertips did not condense golden Qi.

A wisp of gray divine light quietly emerged.

That divine light was faint and inconspicuous, yet it emitted a terrifying Aura that made everyone present tremble in their Soul, a power that returned everything to deathly silence and ended all things.

This Aura was a hundred times more terrifying than the sum of the previous ten attacks.

The gray divine light drifted down.

No locking on.

No pressure.

It just fell quietly, like a harmless feather.

But in its trajectory, space was silently annihilated, and time seemed to be severed.

It's here!

Lin Fan's heart erupted with unprecedented ecstasy.

He could feel that this strike was completely different from the previous ones.

This was fatal, a terrifying strike that could truly threaten the root of the System.

And the more it was so, the richer the reward would be.

The expression on his face reached the Peak of acting in that instant.

It was a mixture of the piety of seeking the Dao, the ecstasy of being about to see through life and death, and the insignificance and awe in the face of supreme heavenly might.

He opened his arms, closed his eyes, and calmly welcomed the final destruction.

The next instant.

The gray divine light touched Lin Fan's body.

No particle decomposition.

No destruction of body and Soul.

Lin Fan's body, along with the space he occupied, directly turned into a void "blank slate."

It was as if an invisible giant hand holding an eraser had completely wiped away everything about "Lin Fan" from this painting.

Cleanly.

Leaving not a trace.

Almost at the same moment.

In Lin Fan's erased consciousness, the System's notification sound, excited to the point of being out of tune, rang out.

【Ding!】

【The Host, with a Mortal body, played a Body Integration powerhouse in the palm of your hand, jumping back and forth, repeatedly courting death, and finally successfully provoked its supreme true fire, causing its Dao Heart to waver!】

【The method of death was highly creative, the process was highly insulting, and the impact was extremely profound!】

【Death Rating: SS+!】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the rewards: 'Indestructible Divine Soul' (incomplete version) x1, Body Integration Stage Law 'Nirvana' insight x1, and the cultivation barrier is completely shattered!】

Boom.

Just when everyone thought everything was over and that devil had finally been completely erased.

Above that void "blank slate."

A point of light appeared out of thin air again.

Immediately after, countless points of light, like tired birds returning to the forest, gathered from all directions.

A complete human figure, once again, in an even more tyrannical and unreasonable way, solidified again.

Lin Fan's figure appeared again.

But this time, it was different from before.

The moment his body solidified, a terrifyingly peerless Aura exploded from him as the center.

Mid-stage Void Refining.

Peak Mid-stage Void Refining.

That Indestructible Realm barrier, in the face of this new power, was like paper, easily broken through.

Late Stage Void Refining!

An Aura far more vast and majestic than before swept across the entire altar like a storm.

Prodigies with slightly weaker cultivation were pressed back repeatedly under the impact of this Aura, their faces showing expressions of horror.

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, a wisp of gray divine light representing "Nirvana" flashed and disappeared, and his entire temperament became unfathomable.

Feeling the brand new, surging power within his body, an indescribable sense of comfort welled up in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at the magnificent phantom above the clouds that was now completely stunned.

He straightened his robes, and bowed deeply and respectfully towards the sky.

His voice was filled with heartfelt sincerity and gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior, for your fulfillment!"

Above the clouds, the magnificent phantom, as if struck hard by a heavy hammer, shook violently.

Its body became dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if that last strike had exhausted all its mental energy, and even caused this Divided Soul of its to suffer some kind of irreversible backlash.

Elder Jieyin said nothing.

The entire scene was also deathly silent.

Everyone watched this scene numbly, feeling that their own understanding was no longer important.

After a long while.

The magnificent phantom of Elder Jieyin waved its large hand.

A white jade token representing passing the test drifted down from the clouds and floated in front of Lin Fan.

"The test... is passed."

Its voice was hoarse, dry, and full of exhaustion, no longer having any of its previous majesty.

"Next."

After saying these two words.

Its phantom could no longer be maintained, and it directly became dim and transparent.

Finally, like a wisp of blue smoke, it completely dissipated into the clouds.

It ran away.

This high and mighty Body Integration Stage powerhouse from the Supreme Void Holy Land.

This Elder Jieyin who held the power of life and death over all the trial-takers.

Was driven to an unstable Dao Heart by Lin Fan's absurd operations, shutting down on the spot and logging off directly.
