351: The Heavenly Dao wants me to die?

"Fuck (this is a Pokemon attribute)!"

Lin Fan instinctively spat out a single word.

"I've played myself!"

His voice carried a hint of trembling that even he hadn't noticed.

That Supreme pressure was no longer just a lock-on.

It was like an invisible giant hand, forged from the Laws of billions of stars, clutching Lin Fan's Soul, intending to completely erase him from the very Foundation of this world's existence.

Inside the command hall.

The smiles on the faces of the Cultivators, who had just recovered from their euphoria, stiffened completely.

Li Hanyue's fists, which had been pounding on Lin Fan's chest, slumped weakly.

The tear stains on her face had not yet dried, but her pupils reflected a fear a billion times deeper than when she had faced the Demon Leader.

It wasn't the fear of facing a powerful enemy.

It was the fundamental shiver of life itself, like a Mortal looking up at the Universe and realizing they were as insignificant as dust.

Rumble—!

The dome of the hall, a sturdy Formation composed of countless runes, developed spider-web-like cracks out of thin air without being hit by any physical impact.

The aftershocks of the pressure alone were enough to bring this final bastion of the Tian Yuan Realm to the brink of collapse.

Everyone felt as if their Divine Soul was nailed to the spot; moving even a finger became a luxury.

In the face of this pressure, the Demon Leader's Ninth Fleet that had swept through the Star Domain felt like a childish game.

And now, a true god had descended.

Lin Fan suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the cracked dome.

He looked toward the deep space of the Universe outside the hall.

There, in the Void Realm that had just been cleared by the life-fires of thirty-six Mahayana Cultivators and the Demon Leader's annihilation demon light, an inconceivable change was occurring.

Boundless clouds gathered out of thin air.

Their scope was so vast that they completely enveloped the entire Star Domain previously occupied by the Ninth Vanguard Fleet.

Those were not black tribulation clouds.

They presented a bizarre color that was variegated, chaotic, yet distinctly separated.

Deep purple represented lightning.

Blazing gold represented Geng-metal.

Eerie blue represented Profound Water... every color was concentrated to the extreme, each representing a Supreme Law of the Great Dao.

At this moment, thousands of Laws of the Dao, like a boiling sea of Chaos, violently entangled, collided, and underwent Fusion, forming an apocalyptic scene that would cause any Mahayana Cultivator's Dao Heart to collapse with a single glance.

"That... what is that..."

A surviving Elder let out a dry, hoarse sound from his throat. Blood-tears flowed from his eyes, his Divine Soul severely damaged just by looking directly at that tribulation cloud.

Another white-haired Grand Elder from an ancient Sect trembled violently, as if he had seen the most incredible sight in the world.

His lips quivered as he used all his strength to squeeze out a tearful cry.

"The Myriad Dao Annihilation... Immortal Tribulation..."

"It's the legendary... Myriad Dao Annihilation Immortal Tribulation that only appeared in the Age of Myth to wipe out ancient gods!"

This name seemed to carry infinite magic.

The moment it was spoken, all remaining hope and joy within the command hall instantly turned into the purest, bone-chilling despair.

Li Hanyue snapped her gaze toward Lin Fan.

She saw that the center of that apocalyptic tribulation cloud, the vortex of all the Law-storms, was aimed with pinpoint accuracy at Lin Fan.

It was him.

This terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, capable of destroying the entire Tian Yuan Realm, was coming for him.

Li Hanyue didn't hesitate for a second. The trace of spiritual Qi she had just recovered instantly burned.

She wanted to rush forward, to stand by Lin Fan's side, even if it was just to share a fraction of the pressure for him.

However, a hand stopped her.

It was Lin Fan.

He didn't look back; he simply reached out a hand in a gesture of restraint.

His movement was very light, yet it carried an unquestionable decisiveness.

"Take everyone and retreat to the deepest part of the Tian Yuan Realm."

Lin Fan's voice was calm, without the slightest ripple, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Activate every defensive Formation that can be activated. Retreat as far as possible."

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Li Hanyue screamed, her voice turning shrill with emotion.

Lin Fan finally turned his head and glanced at her.

In that glance, there was no longer his previous laziness, nor the decisiveness he had shown when facing the Demon Leader.

There was only a blazing light that Li Hanyue couldn't understand—a mixture of excitement, fanaticism, and anticipation.

"No."

He grinned.

"This has everything to do with me."

With that, under the confused, horrified, and despairing gazes of everyone, Lin Fan's figure turned into a streak of light and actively flew out of the crumbling command hall.

He flew alone toward that boundless, apocalyptic tribulation cloud.

That tiny figure, in the face of that chaotic ocean composed of thousands of Laws, was as insignificant as a grain of dust that could be torn apart by the storm at any moment.

Inside the command hall, everyone was stunned.

The hero in their eyes, the martyr who had killed the enemy commander at the cost of three hundred deaths—his behavior now seemed to them no different from the most insane suicide.

Outside the Tian Yuan Realm.

Lin Fan suspended himself in the pitch-black Universe, looking up at the variegated tribulation cloud that was slowly pressing down.

The tribulation cloud churned, and the billions of Laws at its center began to rotate and condense.

Ultimately, they formed an eye so massive it was beyond description.

That eye had no pupil and no white.

Its interior was the rotating myriad Daos, the most primal manifestation of the Universe's rules.

Indifferent.

Ruthless.

Devoid of any biological emotion.

It just watched Lin Fan quietly, as if observing a piece of data that had deviated from its preset trajectory.

The next moment.

A grand, vast will that resounded throughout the entire world echoed directly in the depths of all living beings' Souls.

"Anomaly detected."

"Correcting order."

"Initiating... final erasure sequence."

This will pronounced Lin Fan's death sentence.

At this very moment, the System light screen before Lin Fan's eyes had changed from a piercing blood-red to an unprecedented, burning gilded gold.

[Warning! Warning! Scanned an over-spec target: heavenly dao will (Manifested Clone)!]

[Performing threat assessment... Assessment failed!]

[Performing reward estimation...]

[Based on death method 'Directly erased by the heavenly dao will', causing death object 'heavenly dao will (Manifested Clone)', death sensation level 'World-Ending Class'...]

[Estimated comprehensive reward rating: EXS+++!!!]

Three dazzling plus signs jumped crazily on Lin Fan's retina.

Lin Fan looked at that giant eye representing the ultimate judgment of the Universe. Not only did he not feel a shred of fear, but his body actually began to tremble slightly due to an extreme state of excitement.

Three hundred deaths had earned him an EXS.

Now, an ultimate, invincible, Supreme deluxe version of a super big BOSS was right in front of him.

As long as he died.

As long as he died at Its hands just once.

That reward... Lin Fan's breathing became heavy, and he couldn't even help licking his dry lips.

That look in his eyes was not looking at a disaster capable of destroying the world at all.

He was looking at a peerless Treasure Trove, stripped bare and lying on a bed, covered in divine oil!

"This wave..."

"If I die from this wave, it's a massive profit!"

The light in Lin Fan's eyes grew brighter and hotter.

He looked at that indifferent eye of the heavenly dao and slowly raised his right hand.

Then, under the stunned gazes of countless people within the Tian Yuan Realm, he arrogantly raised a middle finger at that terrifying existence representing the Supreme order of the world.

"Come!"

A wild shout shook the starry sky.

"Let me see how powerful you are!"

"If you can't kill me, you'll just be a great tonic for my Immortal Ascension!"
