332: Chapter 332 Don't reward the man in black robes for chasing him!

A peerless radiance tore through the Void Realm and struck Lin Ran's defense with a fierce blow.

This peerless radiance easily tore through the defense of his Heavenly Dragon Coiling Golden Body, then broke through his Yin-Yang Floating Heaven, but ultimately came to a halt within his Chaos Divine Thunder Heaven and Earth, failing to breach this final layer of defense.

"Good lad, you truly have some tricks up your sleeve. No wonder you were able to destroy this Magma Lake."

"I will leave this Divine Stone with you for now. In the future, my Young Lord will come to take it back personally!"

An incredibly indifferent voice emanated from the Void Realm, and then faded further and further away.

"You want to run?!"

Lin Ran's eyes were cold, and wisps of killing intent shot forth.

Damn it! He tries to ambush him and then just wants to run away?!

If it weren't for the fact that he had mastered quite a few defensive Divine Abilities and Origin Divine Abilities, he really might have been ambushed by this sneaky bastard today.

He wants to run after finishing a sneak attack? Since when is there such a good deal in this world?!

Filled with anger, Lin Ran summoned his Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes to track the Yin Yang Origin Essence remaining in the Void Realm.

Immediately, he summoned his Freedom Heavenly God Wings and gave chase, following the trail.

"Empress Yan Xin, go seize that Divine Stone and the Devil Head's right hand, then return to the Island of Creation and wait for me!"

After leaving these instructions, Lin Ran's figure vanished in an instant, disappearing from the Flame Cavern in the blink of an eye.

Empress Yan Xin and the others were originally on their way deeper into the Flame Cavern to find Lin Ran when they heard his message.

For a moment, they looked at each other in confusion, completely unable to understand what had actually happened.

"Forget it. Young Master must have his reasons for arranging things this way. Let's just secure the Divine Stone and the Devil Head's right hand."

Empress Yan Xin shook her head. After taking the Divine Stone and the Devil Head's right hand, she led the others back to the Island of Creation without a moment's delay.

...

On the other side of the Void Realm, the black-robed man who had just ambushed Lin Ran was currently fleeing at full speed, covered in sweat, glancing back from time to time.

"Damn it! Why is this brat like a lingering ghost?!"

"And with my concealment techniques, how is this brat finding my trail so accurately?"

The black-robed man was shocked; with Lin Ran in hot pursuit behind him, he was soaked in cold sweat.

He had witnessed Lin Ran's strength with his own eyes; after all, the other party was able to suppress the Magma-Fire Devouring Clan creatures that he himself was helpless against, and could even destroy the Magma Lake.

He could only manage a sneak attack on Lin Ran from the shadows, and after failing to succeed, he had fled in a hurry without the slightest hesitation.

Clearly, he knew full well that if he were caught by Lin Ran, he would have no path to survival!

However, what he did not know was that Lin Ran possessed the Yin-Yang Immortal Body, and his third Origin Divine Ability—the Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes—could capture the Yin Yang Origin Essence on any living creature.

It could be said that even if he fled to the ends of the earth, as long as there was remaining Yin Yang Origin Essence, Lin Ran could track him down!

"Do you think you can escape?!"

Lin Ran fully activated his Freedom Heavenly God Wings, his Immortal Nine Paths spiritual power surging, and in an instant, he swept in front of the black-robed man.

"Scram!"

He threw a punch, and his four Physical Destiny Runes and the Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon unleashed their power simultaneously. This punch was unstoppable, like an angry dragon striking across the vast sky, shattering everything in its path!

Lin Ran was attacking out of pure anger. There were only two things he hated most in his life—

First, when others tried to steal his gains behind his back.

Second, when others didn't let him steal their gains behind their backs.

And this black-robed man had undoubtedly touched his reverse scale!

Damn it! Did he really think anyone's gains could be stolen?!

"What?!"

The black-robed man had absolutely not expected Lin Ran to pursue him so relentlessly, nor had he expected Lin Ran's speed to be this fast. With his cultivation at the eighth level of the Divine Fire Realm, he couldn't even shake Lin Ran off.

You have to know, Lin Ran was only at the Half-step Divine Fire Realm!

Just what kind of peerless Prodigy had he provoked!?

"Bang!"

Even though the black-robed man unleashed a lethal Divine Ability, he still could not withstand Lin Ran's punch.

He was sent flying by Lin Ran's fierce blow, and his entire right arm instantly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.

Lin Ran pressed his advantage, not giving the black-robed man a chance to regenerate his severed arm, and charged over with his sword.

"Crescent Moon God Slaying Sword Technique!"

Lin Ran slashed with his sword. The Power of Taiyin intertwined with his Mind-Only Sword Intent, Vast Sky Sword Intent, and others, causing this strike to erupt with peerless radiance.

"Damn it!"

The black-robed man's eyelids twitched wildly, his heart trembling inexplicably.

The power of this sword strike was completely enough to threaten his life.

"Thousand Blades!"

He flicked his sleeves, and countless high-quality blades flew out, controlled by him, attacking Lin Ran.

Lin Ran's expression remained calm, and he summoned the River of Destiny, intercepting all these countless weapons.

The River of Destiny, which had condensed the power of four worlds, was several times more terrifying than it had been before!

Facing the River of Destiny, the black-robed man could barely resist its suppressing power, even after pulling out all the stops.

Lin Ran immediately slashed again, severing his left arm. Terrifying Sword Qi intertwined and coiled around the wound, making it impossible for him to regenerate the limb.

"Swish! Swish!"

Subsequently, two more sword strikes were unleashed, and the black-robed man's legs were also severed.

"You're good at running, aren't you? Run again and let this sword spirit see!"

Gu Qinglian flew out from the immortal suppressing demon sword, stepped on the black-robed man's chest, and stomped on him a few times fiercely.

"You dare to covet my Master's Opportunity? You really don't know what's good for you! Die, die!"

Gu Qinglian kicked the black-robed man's head hard, venting the anger in her heart.

"Alright, stop rewarding him. It took me a lot of effort to get him into this ghostly state."

Lin Ran smiled helplessly and lifted Gu Qinglian off the black-robed man's body.

"Hmph! People like this, who are just like stinky rats in a gutter, only knowing how to hide behind others and steal their gains, deserve such punishment!"

Gu Qinglian said huffily.

"Ahem!"

Lin Ran coughed dryly, feeling that Gu Qinglian's words were a bit too damaging to him as well.

Gu Qinglian was stunned for a moment, then chuckled:

"Of course, it is only right for my Blockhead Master to steal others' gains. I love it most when my Blockhead Master steals others' gains halfway!"

"I'll count that as you having a sweet mouth."

Lin Ran gently pinched Gu Qinglian's cheek.

He turned his gaze and looked coldly at the black-robed man who was struggling in pain on the ground, saying:

"Speak. Who sent you? And who is standing behind you?"

The black-robed man kept his mouth shut, just staring fixedly at Lin Ran, with no intention of speaking at all.

"You don't want to talk? That's fine. Someone will eventually recognize you."

Lin Ran waved his hand, swept up the black-robed man, and headed toward the Island of Creation.

Empress Yan Xin had lived in the Hunchi Realm for so many years; she might not know everything about the powers in the Hunchi Realm and the other four worlds, but she should at least know something about them.

If even Empress Yan Xin could not recognize the identity of this black-robed man, then Lin Ran would have to use some special methods!
