Chapter 264: The Ultimately Invincible Lin Fan

There is a legend.

There is a bird that soars beyond the nine heavens, alighting only on the parasol tree, eating only the bamboo fruit, landing once every five hundred years, and on the day it lands, that is the day of nirvana.

Each nirvana must undergo the test of fire and life and death.

After each nirvana, its feathers become fuller, its voice clearer, its spirit more refined. When it soars into the sky again, its brilliant light will illuminate the entire world.

The phoenix nirvana, rebirth from the flames.

The little chick's bloody and mangled shell lay quietly there, a pool of bright red blood like burning flames.

At that moment, the blood that stained the earth seemed to come alive, like flame spirits, surrounding the little chick's shell, as if worshipping the ancient god.

The sound of flowing water.

Those blood instantly ignited, a flame full of life force enveloping the little chick's body.

Burning continuously, time and space seemed to be consumed by this flame.

The flame gradually changed; the little chick's body was slowly wrapped in a red, stone-like hard shell, and the shell burned without wood, yet the flame seemed as if it might be blown out at any moment.

The phoenix nirvana has extremely strong life force, but the life force of the little chick during its nirvana was fluctuating, as if it might end at any time.

Inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

That pitch-black arm had now become illusory, a mass of black mist making its final struggle within the refining power.

And at this moment, Lin Fan's body had long since dissipated; a crimson heart was beating continuously within the furnace, and what Lin Fan did not expect was that when the Holy Demon Sect was destroyed, the ancestor had struck a drop of divine blood into his body.

Now it was also quietly floating above the heart, an ancient power wrapping Lin Fan's last vestiges of life.

That drop of divine blood emitted a dazzling light, but before this refining power, it too gradually collapsed.

Beside the heart, an illusory figure stood quietly; this was the last remnant of Lin Fan's essence, energy, and spirit.

"Little chick..."

At that moment, a subtle feeling entered Lin Fan's heart—it was the little chick's life force.

The phoenix nirvana, rebirth from the flames.

But the little chick's life force was now very weak, unable to support its rebirth; the burning flame was flickering, barely maintaining its operation.

At that moment, the crimson heart beat slightly—this was the flame of the One Thought into Pill.

"Little chick, hold on until your new master arrives," Lin Fan murmured. The flame of One Thought into Pill quietly rose, ignoring the obstruction of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, penetrating layer after layer of barriers, then replacing the flickering flame, allowing the little chick to sustain eternal life.

...

That pitch-black arm was on the verge of final collapse, and Lin Fan knew that to destroy it, he could only refine it together with himself.

Lin Fan recalled all that had happened, his thoughts myriad. He had also dreamed of becoming a figure unrivaled in the universe, but all of this was too difficult.

"Refine..."

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Furnace became a chaos, with no light, no flame, no anything, as if everything had returned to the beginning of chaos.

"Ding, congratulations, experience for 'Indestructible Demon Body' increased by one billion."

"Ding, congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' upgraded to level 18."

"Ding, congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' upgraded to level 19."

"Ding, congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' upgraded to level 20."

"Ding, congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' advanced to 'Eternal Indestructibility.'"

"'Eternal Indestructibility': The strongest body-tempering technique, manifesting a true body, lawless and unrestrained."

"Ding, congratulations, physical level upgraded to the initial stage of the Great Heaven realm."

...

In this chaos, a drop of crimson blood slowly flowed into the chaos, and that mass of black mist was also slowly drawn into the chaos by the refining power. The golden tadpole characters drifted within, as if there was a mysterious attraction ahead, making them leap with joy.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Furnace became clear again. A single strand of hair drifted quietly within the furnace.

This strand of hair emitted an unusual light. In an instant, a warm current overflowed from the hair, as if it had life, growing more and more, slowly taking shape.

From one hair, all things grow.

A head, a body, two arms, two legs, a heart.

"Thump!"

The heart beat.

The figure sitting cross-legged in the Heaven and Earth Furnace was none other than Lin Fan.

Now Lin Fan sat naked, his skin gleaming like white jade, with flowing light on his skin, captivating to behold.

At that moment, a mass of black mist, as if reborn, slowly condensed into an arm, and the arm was no longer black but reddish, gradually merging into Lin Fan's right hand.

That drop of divine blood transformed into a vast sea of blood, merging into Lin Fan's body, becoming the blood within him.

Then a golden light flashed, and the dense tadpole characters spun continuously, then seemed to arrange themselves in order, imprinting on Lin Fan's back.

"Ding, right hand transformed, Eternal Arm."

"Ding, merged with the Heavenly Earth Sutra."

"Ding, merged with the Blood of the Supreme."

...

After who knows how long, those closed eyes suddenly opened, a golden light bursting forth, shaking the Heaven and Earth Furnace with a faint sound.

"I'm not dead?"

At that moment, Lin Fan looked around in confusion, then emerged from the Heaven and Earth Furnace. When he saw the familiar surroundings, his heart surged with excitement.

"Little master isn't dead." Lin Fan shouted with elation, his right hand clenching in excitement.

"Bang, bang..."

In an instant, the void shattered, and the void torrent surged.

Lin Fan was momentarily dumbfounded.

"What the hell is this?" Lin Fan thought the pitch-black arm hadn't been destroyed yet, so he remained alert.

But the surroundings were quiet, with no movement. Then Lin Fan looked at his right hand; although it still looked the same, it felt somehow different.

Lin Fan slightly raised his hand and gently pointed at the void.

In an instant, a terrifying scene occurred.

The void he pointed at shattered inch by inch, turning into nothingness.

"Holy shit..." At this moment, Lin Fan could only use these two words, full of countless meanings of care, to express his inner feelings.

And at that moment, Lin Fan suddenly thought of the little chick, then looked around. Not far away, he saw a flame burning there.

"Little chick..." Lin Fan looked at the red eggshell within the flame, feeling sorrowful.

"Little chick, don't die..." Lin Fan raised his right hand and wiped the corner of his eye.

"Bang..."

At that moment, the void shattered again, a torrent spinning wildly within the broken void.

Lin Fan was stunned. What the hell, just a light raise of the hand and the void shatters? This... this...

But now, Lin Fan didn't think about that. He gently stroked the eggshell in the flames with his left hand.

"Little chick, you died so tragically..." Lin Fan wept like a flood, "But don't worry, little chick, your glorious image will forever be imprinted in my heart."

Just as Lin Fan was crying, a sound suddenly came from within the red eggshell.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." The sound was somewhat unhappy, somewhat helpless, and somewhat sorrowful.

"Little chick, you're not dead..." At that moment, Lin Fan's heart was overjoyed.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..." The sound came again from within the eggshell, as if saying, "Hurry and save me. I'm alive, but my life force is insufficient; I have a developmental defect and can't break the shell."

...
