61: It's a farce, it's time to end

Inside the War Emperor's Mausoleum, within the ancient civilization's gene bank.

Long Qingtian's revelation, filled with "sympathy" and "pity," was like a cold, mocking final judgment, heavily striking the hearts of Ye Fan, Qin Yubing, and Adam's three factions!

After the oriole... there was actually a hunter?

All their hard work, their life-threatening struggles and schemes, in the end, were merely making wedding clothes for the true chess player, who sat behind the scenes?

"Long Qingtian!" Adam's handsome face, hidden beneath the Holy Light, was now completely twisted by extreme rage, "Do you think, with just you alone, you can take on all three of us?!"

"Exactly!" Ye Fan also suppressed the shock and unwillingness in his heart, his eyes cold as he said, "Long Qingtian, though you are strong, if our three factions join forces, you may not gain any advantage!"

"Join forces?"

Long Qingtian, hearing this, let out a sneer full of disdain and pity.

He didn't even bother to waste words with these "chess pieces," merely slowly raising the S-grade halberd in his hand, which was already humming with Battle Intent and flashing with Heavenly Tribulation divine lightning!

He responded to their ridiculous... fantasies with action!

A more chaotic, more tragic, and even more unexpected... ultimate melee was, at this moment, completely... ignited!

Long Qingtian, the "Strongest War God" acknowledged by the younger generation of the Long family, who had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, finally, at this moment, displayed his truly terrifying strength, enough to make all his peers despair!

He, alone, fought against the combined forces of Ye Fan, Qin Yubing, and Adam!

"Heavenly Tribulation Body — Activate!"

Boom!!!

He, facing multiple opponents, not only showed no signs of retreat but instead took the initiative to launch the most furious charge! His SSS-Grade Mutant Talent, Heavenly Tribulation Body, was pushed to its limit! A terrifying Domain, constructed from the purest purple-green lightning, filled with destructive and judgmental aura, unfolded with a roar, centered on him!

Within this Domain, he was the sole Thunder God!

Ye Fan's Human Emperor Suppressing World Art, with its imperial aura, suppressed mountains and rivers?

It was suppressed before Long Qingtian's majestic Heavenly Might, which was enough to execute divine punishment!

Qin Yubing's Phoenix Shadow Guards, with their mysterious movements and unparalleled assassination skills?

They had nowhere to hide before Long Qingtian's omnipresent, violently raging net of lightning!

Adam's Holy Light ability, purifying all things, sacred and inviolable?

Before Long Qingtian's even more overbearing, more primal, and destruction-filled Heavenly Tribulation divine lightning, it was as if a subject had met his king, being utterly... restrained!

He was like a tireless Thunder War God, and with every swing of his halberd, thousands of thunder Dragons roared forth, scattering the formation of the three-faction alliance! Though he was incomparably fierce, fighting against multiple opponents, he firmly suppressed the three-faction alliance!

However, two fists, after all, are no match for four hands.

The opponents were, after all, numerous and powerful, and each was a top Prodigy capable of ruling the outside world, with an endless array of trump cards.

Adam's Holy Light was like a maggot in the bone, continuously purifying his lightning power; Ye Fan's Human Emperor Seal repeatedly suppressed him from tricky angles, restricting his movements; and Qin Yubing's Shadow Guards were like venomous snakes hidden in the shadows, always delivering the most fatal backstab the moment he was exhausted!

Pfft!

After enduring a Holy Light Burst from Adam, Long Qingtian finally revealed a flaw, and a Phoenix Shadow Guard's poisoned dagger sliced through the armor at his waist, leaving a wound so deep that bone was visible!

"Good opportunity!"

Adam, seeing this, burst forth with a look of wild joy! He no longer hesitated, summoning a disposable S-grade confinement tool, bestowed upon him personally by his father, specifically designed to deal with energy bodies and elemental talents!

— The Superpower Suppression Chains!

Swoosh!

Several pitch-black chains, forged from unknown divine metal and engraved with countless forbidden spell runes, appeared out of thin air like demonic hands reaching from the depths of Hell, instantly breaking through Long Qingtian's protective lightning Qi and firmly binding his robust body!

"Ugh ah ah ah!"

Long Qingtian let out an unwilling roar of fury! He could clearly feel that the surging Heavenly Tribulation divine lightning within him was, under the restraint of these strange chains, as if frozen, its circulation becoming incredibly sluggish!

He had fallen into an unprecedented... life-and-death crisis!

"Well done!"

Ye Fan, seeing this, burst forth with a look of wild joy!

Adam's goal was still the ancestral dragon gene core on the altar! In his opinion, as long as he obtained the treasure, Long Qingtian was merely a turtle in a jar!

However, Ye Fan made a choice that left everyone present stunned and disdainful...

He seized this once-in-a-lifetime, excellent opportunity while Long Qingtian was trapped and unable to resist, and in his eyes, a cold ruthlessness flashed, completely undisguised!

His goal was not the treasure!

But rather... the trapped competitor who posed the greatest threat to him — Long Qingtian!

He wanted to... take advantage of someone's misfortune and deliver a killing blow!

"Die!"

He poured all the remaining Internal Energy in his body into his right fist, unleashing the strongest killing move from the Human Emperor Suppressing World Art, and fiercely, slammed it towards Long Qingtian's defenseless head!

This scene caused even his temporary ally, Qin Yubing, to show a deep shock and... disdain in her clear, beautiful eyes!

Was this the resolute and unyielding young hero she admired?

At the critical moment, his choice was not to "seize the treasure," which represented "Protagonist morality," but to "eliminate dissidents," which represented "villainous logic"?!

The "Demon Revealing Mirror"!

In this life-and-death crisis, Ye Fan finally exposed his true, and ugliest... ruthless and selfish nature, hidden beneath his "resolute" and "unyielding" exterior!

His so-called Protagonist Halo was, at this moment, completely... stripped away!

He, from a sympathetic "pseudo-protagonist," completely degenerated into a... despicable "true villain"!

However, just as his fist, filled with murderous and destructive aura, was about to strike Long Qingtian's head at the very last moment—

A hand.

A fair, slender hand, as if it did not belong to this mortal world, perfect like a work of art, appeared out of thin air without any warning.

Then, with an understated ease, it pinched his fist, which was capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks...

Time, at this moment, seemed to completely stop.

Ye Fan's face, filled with ferocity and wild joy, instantly froze.

He slowly, disbelievingly, turned his head.

Only to see Lin Tian, at some unknown point, had silently appeared in the arena.

He didn't even spare Ye Fan a glance.

His deep, star-sea-like eyes merely calmly surveyed the messy battlefield, filled with smoke and blood.

Then, with a tone of disappointment and disinterest, like a god looking down upon a comical farce performed by ants, he spoke lightly, in the voice of a judge:

"A farce."

"It's time... to end it."

The moment his words fell!

His hand, which was pinching Ye Fan's fist, gave a slight shake!

Bang!!!

An irresistible, terrifying force, incomparable, erupted with a roar!

Ye Fan, this Son of Destiny who was just fantasizing about "eliminating dissidents and seizing the supreme treasure," was flung out like a casually discarded garbage bag, without even being able to let out a scream!

With a crash, he slammed heavily against the metal wall hundreds of meters away, his bones shattered, his fate unknown!

Divine soldiers descending from Heaven!

One move to clear the field!

The Protagonist, with the most dominant, overbearing, and undeniable "dimensional strike" posture, ended all conflicts, and... ignited the ultimate face-slapping climax!
