Chapter 198: One Finger Annihilation

At this moment, Lin Fan calmed down. Originally, he thought the figure in the light screen was merely a strand of divine consciousness with fixed thoughts, but judging by the current situation, it didn't seem to be the case. This was more like a divine consciousness with its own will.

According to the figure's words just now, a single infusion of sufficient true essence could activate it seven times, and this ordinary-looking punch required one to comprehend the power of rules at the Great Heaven realm to cultivate.

Lin Fan had nothing to say about this; after all, the requirements were set, and he couldn't force it.

But now, Lin Fan felt a surge of excitement.

A divine consciousness with its own will—wasn't that a moving great figure carrying countless treasures? If he could communicate well with it, it might be an opportunity.

At this moment, Lin Fan rejoiced inwardly, then once again channeled a beam of moonlight onto the supreme fragment, waiting for the figure to reappear.

And now, when the figure saw that it was still this young man before him, it turned its back, ready to disappear. But for Lin Fan, how could he let such a great opportunity slip away?

"Senior, wait! This junior has something to say." Lin Fan immediately called out loudly.

For someone who could leave their divine consciousness in such a supreme token, they must be a peerless divine being who had comprehended the heavens and earth. Even if this transaction didn't work out, at least he could learn something else.

"Senior, being able to reside in this supreme fragment with your divine consciousness, you must be the peerless supreme senior who split the Xuanhuang Realm in two, spanning the ages."

"This junior, upon seeing your divine countenance, is immediately captivated by your aura of great wisdom, great ambition, and the spirit of 'reaching the peak and seeing all mountains at a glance.'"

"This junior would spare no expense, just to see you again and admire your divine countenance, even if it means losing everything."

At this moment, emotions ran deep, and Lin Fan openly wiped away two streaks of tears.

"Now that I have seen your divine countenance, even if I were to die this instant, I would die willingly. I imagine your true form must be above the nine heavens, unmatched within the universe."

Lin Fan piled on all the flattery he had ever used onto this figure, believing that he could surely dazzle it, making it listen to his admiration day and night, and eventually be moved to bestow countless techniques and treasures.

Lin Fan looked at the figure in the light screen and saw that its usual calm expression gradually changed.

Those calm yet intimidating eyes seemed to hold all sorts of memories.

Lin Fan rejoiced—he had finally hit the mark. This figure must have been moved by his heartfelt words.

"Senior, your great achievements are passed down through generations in the Xuanhuang Realm. For an ordinary junior like me to see your divine countenance with my own eyes... I am truly... truly too excited." Lin Fan struggled to leave two tear streaks, as if he were genuinely moved to tears.

At that moment, the figure, whose eyes were filled with memories, suddenly looked at Lin Fan. "I have heard these words three times before, and you are the fourth."

Lin Fan, who had thought he had the upper hand, was shocked. How could this be? Then he shifted his gaze and said, "Senior, although it seems familiar, those three must have spoken from the heart, just like this junior, upon seeing your divine countenance."

"Enough. The world is fading, humanity is perishing. Your talent is far better than those three. I will teach you one technique. How much you comprehend depends on your own insight." The figure's voice was calm, neither sad nor joyful, as if seeing through everything. Its solitary silhouette in the light screen seemed very despondent.

Lin Fan stared intently at the light screen.

"The principle of heaven and earth: all things arise from the One. One Finger Annihilation."

The figure within the light curtain raised a hand slightly, pointing a finger at the void, and the void seemed to suffer infinite force, shattering inch by inch.

"If you reach the Great Heavenly Realm before activating me, my divine sense won't last much longer..." After saying this, the figure in the light curtain quietly disappeared.

At this moment, Lin Fan seemed immersed in a spiritual world, his mind filled entirely with that single finger strike—a strike that seemed to encompass everything.

All things arise from the One; one finger brings annihilation.

In that instant, Lin Fan raised his hand slightly, and the true essence within him trembled, as if merging with heaven and earth. In the void, he saw ethereal chains of rules.

Lin Fan reached out to touch them, but they were beyond his reach. Those chains of rules radiated a strange divine light, and insights surged into his mind like a tide.

"One finger."

Hum...

In that split second, the void became like a lake, and Lin Fan's finger was like a stone thrown into the water, stirring up a splash, ripples spreading in all directions with a humming sound.

"Ding, congratulations on comprehending One Finger Annihilation, Level 0."

At this moment, Lin Fan's eyes opened and closed, a sharp gleam flashing within. His heart was filled with immense joy. The sensation of insight just now was truly wonderful, as if he were immersed between heaven and earth.

Those chain-like things should be the chains of rules, but his cultivation was insufficient to grasp them.

This One Finger Annihilation originally required understanding the rules, yet what the figure had expressed was a technique that circumvented the power of rules, using true essence as a supplement to communicate with the void.

Powerful, truly too powerful.

But what the figure probably hadn't anticipated was that he possessed a system capable of infinite upgrades. If he could raise One Finger Annihilation to a certain level, could he comprehend the power of rules even if his cultivation hadn't reached the required standard?

All of this filled Lin Fan with extraordinary anticipation.

As for who the figure in the至尊 fragment was, Lin Fan now had some idea—it should be the great power who split the Primordial Chaos Realm in two.

But how could such a formidable figure have only a wisp of divine sense within it? Could it be that behind this lay many things he didn't yet know?

Lin Fan also remembered the words the figure spoke before disappearing at the end.

If the divine sense couldn't last long, that meant it couldn't be activated frequently, and he must quickly reach the Great Heavenly Realm to learn more.

Thinking of all this, Lin Fan's heart raced with excitement.

Then Lin Fan carefully placed the至尊 fragment into his system backpack like a treasure. At the same time, the mission to find the至尊 fragments must continue. One fragment contained a wisp of divine sense; if all the fragments were gathered to form a complete至尊 token, what kind of events would unfold?

Thinking that there were still many secrets waiting for him to uncover, Lin Fan felt an inexhaustible surge of motivation.

Lin Fan pushed open the window and looked at the starry sky outside, his heart filled with fighting spirit. Indeed, the world outside was the most exciting.

Staying within the sect would only make one a frog at the bottom of a well.
