Chapter 409: All Suppressed

Han Lu's robe instantly billowed, and streaks of white light shot out from the Jade Purification Vase, coiling around him.

“Lin Fan, I’ve tolerated you long enough. This is the Primordial Chaos Qi, impervious to external evil. I stand undefeated. Today, I’ll show you the might of Han Lu.” Han Lu’s eyes blazed with divine light, his battle intent surging. Even if his own strength was inferior, relying on this mysterious Jade Purification Vase, he was confident he could contend with Lin Fan.

“Fang Han, how long do you intend to watch?” Han Lu then looked at Fang Han, who stood there motionless like a fool, his tone somewhat displeased. He knew Fang Han was no easy character either. Though they were allied now, it was out of necessity, and he absolutely could not trust him.

He not only had to contend with Lin Fan but also guard against Fang Han.

Fang Han, hearing this, glanced at Han Lu, a flicker of greed flashing in his eyes, but in an instant, he fixed his gaze on Lin Fan. A monstrous demonic aura erupted, far stronger than that of the Yan Emperor.

“It seems you two have had quite a few encounters as well.” Lin Fan looked at the changes in these two, never imagining they would be like this, given how they were back in the Holy Demon Sect.

Fang Han must have obtained some kind of inheritance, following the path of dominance.

As for Han Lu, he relied entirely on that treasure in his hand.

Lin Fan had never seen a treasure of this kind, but something that could elevate a mediocre person to such a level in two years was certainly no ordinary item.

If this world did not have him, these two could truly be considered the main protagonists.

But unfortunately, that was clearly impossible now.

At that moment, Fang Han’s body underwent a transformation. His stature was forcibly stretched, and a monstrous demonic aura dyed the void.

Han Lu was startled inwardly and dared not underestimate Fang Han. He hadn’t expected this guy’s strength to be so formidable.

…

“Come at me together.” Lin Fan looked at the two and then beckoned. Though he was surprised by their strength, it was only that.

In Lin Fan’s eyes, these two had always been weaklings.

Han Lu flicked his finger, and a drop of transparent water suddenly floated up from the Jade Purification Vase.

This drop of water seemed ordinary, yet it appeared to contain some immensely powerful force.

Fang Han looked at Han Lu with a puzzled expression. Just a drop of water? Was he joking?

“Lin Fan, this single drop of water is a small world.” Han Lu said calmly, then gently flicked his finger, and the drop of water shot toward Lin Fan.

In Han Lu’s view, no one had ever been able to counter this move. Before he had fully mastered the Jade Purification Vase, a single drop like this could crush an expert to death.

Now that he had mastered the vase, his power was even greater.

Fang Han’s expression changed upon hearing Han Lu’s words. He hadn’t expected this thing to be so powerful, and his greed grew even stronger.

Lin Fan watched the water droplet traversing the void and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He slowly extended a finger.

“Hum…”

At that moment, a loud boom suddenly echoed through the void.

“How is that possible?” Han Lu was astounded at the sight before him. He hadn’t expected Lin Fan to catch it with just a single finger.

“Han Lu, did you think you could suppress me with a mere treasure? Unless I’ve been living like a dog all these years.” Lin Fan sneered. When he touched that drop of water, he indeed felt a tremendous force, extraordinary in nature—even someone who had condensed five Rule Chains might not withstand it.

But unfortunately, he hadn’t condensed just five Rule Chains; he had condensed nearly five hundred.

Such strength was enough to crush everything and suppress all directions.

“Fang Han, what are you waiting for? Attack now!” Han Lu, who had been calm earlier, suddenly roared. The change was too fast.

“Demon Emperor Domain.”

Fang Han’s expression shifted, and he roared, throwing a punch at Lin Fan. This punch contained infinite power, imbued with the overbearing majesty of the peerless Demon Emperor.

The punch tore through the void, and a phantom of the Demon Emperor suppressed everything.

“Hmph, I thought you had some skill, but it’s nothing much.” Lin Fan glanced coldly and threw a casual punch. In an instant, a power vast as the ocean enveloped Fang Han’s fist.

“Bang, bang…”

The void exploded, and torrents of void scattered in all directions.

Fang Han’s expression changed drastically, his face full of disbelief. “Impossible… How can you be this strong?”

“Boom…”

The moment his fist clashed with Lin Fan’s, Fang Han’s body was sent flying, his arm a bloody mess, with white bone visible.

Seeing Fang Han so easily defeated, Han Lu dared not hold back any longer.

“Lin Fan, I’ll fight you to the death!”

Han Lu struck the Jade Purification Vase with his palm. Instantly, brilliant light blazed, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.

The vase rose into the air, its mouth tilting downward as if an endless torrent of seawater was about to pour down.

“Lin Fan, even if we both perish, I will suppress you today!” Han Lu’s face turned pale as he spat out several mouthfuls of blood essence, which, as if sentient, merged into the vase.

Suddenly, a surge of aura emanated from the vase.

In an instant, a stream of white water poured down from the heavens, flooding the world.

“Hmph, I was just playing with you, and you take it seriously. Fine, today I’ll make you utterly despair.” Lin Fan gazed into the void, reached out a hand, and grabbed the vase in the air.

“Haha, Lin Fan, you’re too arrogant! This vase is not of this world; its power is beyond your ability to resist. Today, you will pay for your actions!” Han Lu staggered, as if severely drained and about to collapse.

But in that moment, Han Lu’s face instantly filled with terror. A giant hand, blotting out the sky, shattered the void with its overwhelming power.

The white water poured onto Lin Fan’s palm, immediately raising white smoke.

“Not bad.” Lin Fan chuckled lightly, but paid it no mind. He grabbed the vase in his hand.

No matter how it struggled, it was futile.

“Han Lu, what other tricks do you have? Bring them on; I’ll take them all.” Lin Fan looked at Han Lu disdainfully.

“How is this possible…” Han Lu stumbled back a step, utterly incredulous. His greatest reliance was so pathetically weak in Lin Fan’s hands.

“Give it back to me!” Han Lu roared, his eyes blazing with endless flames of fury.

“You’re dreaming…” Lin Fan appeared before Han Lu in an instant. Han Lu’s face went pale, and a wave of fear surged in his heart.

Especially when he met Lin Fan’s gaze, he sensed something ominous.

“You think you’re strong, but in my eyes, you’re still weak.” Lin Fan said calmly, not taking them seriously at all.

With a thud, Han Lu fell to the ground, scrambling backward a few steps, then pointed at Lin Fan.

“You can’t blame us. You saw the situation back then. We just wanted to survive.” Han Lu swallowed hard. Now that all his trump cards were gone, the vase was his greatest asset.

Lin Fan chuckled at this. “Everyone wants to live, but I don’t think your life now is better than dying back then.”

“Back then, you didn’t want to die, probably because of this, right?” Lin Fan toyed with the vase in his hand.

“I…” Han Lu’s expression changed, at a loss for words. With such a treasure back then, how could he die there?

Lin Fan looked at Han Lu contemptuously. A treasure? I have a golden finger like the system and I’m not afraid to die. This thing?

“Haha…” Lin Fan burst into laughter, then clenched his fists, and the Rule Chains erupted violently.

“What are you doing?” Han Lu was alarmed at Lin Fan’s action, sensing something bad.

“Bang…”

“No… don’t…” In an instant, a horrifying scene unfolded before Han Lu.

The treasure he held dear was crushed in Lin Fan’s hand.

Though curious about the vase, Lin Fan didn’t think much of it. He was also impressed by its durability—it took his full strength to crush it. It was indeed a fine treasure.

“Ah… my treasure!” Han Lu howled in anguish, staring in disbelief at the scene.

The liquid flowed over Lin Fan’s palm and slowly dripped to the ground.

Drip… drip.

A cloud of white mist rose up.
