Chapter 440: Emperor Yuan

"The last whip..." Lin Fan's chest heaved violently. "Eternal" was the toughest opponent he had ever faced since he began training.

But no matter how tough, he had to be completely subdued under the loving lash of yours truly.

"Reverse the Course of Events," "Black Tiger Steals the Heart," "True Ultimate Destruction Kick," and "Discipline"—these were the four great evil arts Lin Fan currently possessed, each with infinite power.

If he had to pick the most twisted one, it would undoubtedly be "Discipline."

"Crack..."

A whip broke through the air, lashing across the void. A burst of light erupted from the tip of the whip, tearing heaven and earth apart, before landing on "Eternal."

Eternal's body trembled violently, and a earth-shattering moan echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Looks like it's done." Lin Fan looked at Eternal's current state and breathed a sigh of relief.

All this was thanks to "Eternal"; if he hadn't courted disaster, Lin Fan would never have had a chance to turn the tables.

Even if he had endured under Eternal's power and cultivated his physical body to a certain level, the best outcome would have been a stalemate—neither able to kill the other.

But now it was different. The peasant had turned over and was singing in his home—how carefree, how joyful.

At the same time, from this battle, Lin Fan had learned a profound lesson: one must never court disaster.

This "Eternal" was what you'd call the Emperor of Courting Disaster.

With the final whip falling, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over.

"Don't stop, keep going..." Eternal's voice came, carrying a hint of pleading, as if reluctant to leave this discipline.

Lin Fan was stunned, then helplessly sighed. "Very well, you are a worthy opponent, able to truly face your inner self and release the real you."

"Crack..."

To satisfy Eternal's request, Lin Fan ignored his exhaustion, raised the whip, and lashed Eternal again.

Between heaven and earth, Eternal's voice was so unbearable to witness. The once fearsome Eternal no longer existed.

What existed now was an Eternal who had truly discovered and found himself.

Seeing Eternal enjoy it so much, Lin Fan grew curious.

Could this "Discipline" really be that enjoyable? It made him almost want to be disciplined himself.

But unfortunately, he couldn't discipline himself, and that was truly a pity.

...

Time passed minute by minute.

"Alright, discipline ends here. I'm exhausted." At that moment, Lin Fan sat down on the ground, put the whip back into his backpack, and panted heavily.

"Ding, congratulations on defeating Eternal, whose strength is less than one percent of its prime."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining five billion experience."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up."

"Ding, reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Position realm."

...

Lin Fan was delighted to hear he had leveled up. At the same time, he thought about Eternal's current strength—less than one percent of its prime, yet still so powerful. How terrifying would it be if fully restored?

He wondered how Supreme and War God had managed to dismember Eternal.

Eternal now cast a resentful glance at Lin Fan, clearly unsatisfied. But looking at the two large balls hanging on his chest, he sighed helplessly. When would the swelling go down?

"All of you, come over. It's over." Lin Fan called out weakly into the distance.

The others, who were resisting the beast tide, were stunned by his words, not understanding what was happening.

Eternal was still alive, so how could everything be fine? But at that moment, they saw Eternal lying there motionless, without his former ferocity. Relieved, they rushed toward Lin Fan.

"Whoop whoop..." The recovered chick was the first to arrive at Lin Fan's side. It happily jumped onto his shoulder, rubbed its head against his, then looked at Eternal and flicked its chicken head, snorting disdainfully.

"Dare to hit this chick? Now you've been tamed by our big bro."

...

"Xiao Fan, what's going on?" Sect Master Yan asked in confusion.

"Nothing much. Eternal never had parents, and he's been moved by my love. He deeply realizes his mistakes." Lin Fan said.

"Ah?" Sect Master Yan was taken aback.

"Eternal, do you realize your mistake?" Lin Fan called out to Eternal, seeing Sect Master Yan's disbelief.

"I realize my mistake." Eternal lay there, savoring the feeling from just now.

"Sect Master, see? I told you he's been reformed. You can trust my words, can't you?" Lin Fan said seriously.

Sect Master Yan looked at Eternal with two large balls hanging on his chest, then at Lin Fan, and finally sighed.

Only a ghost would believe that. But since everything was fine now, he didn't want to ask further.

"Brother Lin, you're absolutely amazing. I, Yao Wuxie, have never admired anyone in my life, but I admire you." Yao Wuxie circled Lin Fan, flattering him.

Lin Fan smiled faintly. "Looks like you've gained a lot during this time. You know about the Yao family situation, right? Don't blame me; it was all for your own good."

"Brother Lin, what are you saying? I know everything. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here. I might still be lazing around, waiting to die." Yao Wuxie had already returned home and knew what had happened. As for the position of family head, he had no interest. As long as he could live freely, that was fine. Now his older brothers were all friendly to him.

After wandering outside for a while longer, he would go back to lazing around and enjoy his former leisurely life.

"Xiao Fan, now that this is over, we should go back." Sect Master Yan said.

Lin Fan shook his head. "No, it's not over yet. There's one last guy."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, finding it hard to believe. If Eternal had been subdued, who else could there be?

"Heavenly Dao, come out. You've been watching for so long; it's a bit rude." Lin Fan called into the void.

"Heavenly Dao?" Everyone was stunned. Then Sect Master Yan and the others' expressions changed, sensing something ominous.

"He's not the Heavenly Dao." He Yuhan stepped forward, her expression grave. "Emperor Yuan, come out."

...

"Boom..."

In an instant, heaven and earth shook. In the endless void, thunder flashed, and a will descended from the void.

"Haha... Splendid, truly splendid." A voice came from the void, echoing across heaven and earth.

"Emperor Yuan, you despicable coward." He Yuhan said coldly.

Back then, to help them suppress Eternal, she had agreed to let Emperor Yuan enter the core of the Heavenly Dao, using boundless power to restrict Eternal's cultivation. But unexpectedly, after Eternal was split, Emperor Yuan took the opportunity to devour her—how detestable.

"Haha... Supreme discovered it early back then and ruined my plans. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a say now. Stop hiding, Supreme, War God, Martial God, and Reincarnation Emperor. Come out. You've preserved your divine senses and lived in hiding for tens of thousands of years. It's time to end." In the void, a phantom gradually appeared and began to solidify.

Lin Fan was filled with doubt as he listened. Then, a shocking scene unfolded...
