Chapter 475: Attaining the Azure Heaven Rank

The "Justice Squad" was dumbfounded, stunned.

They hadn't expected this. What exactly was that move just now?

Why did two punches to the chest cause such massive damage?

"What are you doing?" Duanming asked, looking at Mu Liang.

"Does it hurt?" Mu Liang asked expectantly, looking up after punching Duanming's chest twice.

"What do you think?"

...

Xuwuxin clutched his chest with both hands, roaring up to the sky. He couldn't believe he had lost. The pain was truly unbearable—too painful, far too painful.

The pain was almost maddening.

Lin Fan approached Xuwuxin, seeing him as a massive amount of experience.

An Azure Heaven rank beginner—how much experience would that be? Especially with the strongest buff still active for a while, how much extra experience would that yield?

This was what Lin Fan looked forward to most.

With enough experience, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish.

No matter how powerful the enemy, they would die with regret before him.

"I am Xuwuxin of the Void Realm, you cannot—" Xuwuxin spoke with difficulty, but the pain was like heart-eating, coming with every breath.

Lin Fan rested an axe on his shoulder, then looked at Xuwuxin, who was suffering endless torment, and smiled faintly, gesturing with his hands, "Should I chop your left side or your right side? This is such a difficult choice."

"You—" Xuwuxin wanted to resist, even thinking of dragging Lin Fan down with him, but it was all just a thought. The pain was so intense he couldn't even move a finger, let alone anything else.

"Brother Lin, kill him. Scum like him deserve to die," Mu Liang said.

"Right, this kind of scum should be killed." The others nodded in agreement. Such a person didn't deserve pity.

...

"Haha... Everyone wants me dead, but to me, you're just ants. What of the Void Realm? What of the myriad races? In the end, it's all just a dream. Since I, Xuwuxin, have taken this path, I have no regrets. Kill me, and you won't fare well either."

"The power of the Ancient Clan is beyond your imagination. For ten thousand years, how many have tried to overthrow them? What was the result? Since resistance is futile, it's better to bow and submit. You'll only push everything into an endless abyss."

Xuwuxin laughed, a strange light flickering in his eyes. Even while enduring the pain, he managed to say so much.

Lin Fan admired that. He wondered what this guy was really after. If he wasn't afraid of death, why submit to the Ancient Clan?

"Buzz..."

The axe blade gleamed in the night, its sharp edge tearing the void, rippling the air.

Whether he feared death or not, he had to die today.

A massive amount of experience was right in front of him; he couldn't miss it.

Xuwuxin's heart trembled at the sight of the axe blade.

Thud!

Just then, Lin Fan's expression shifted slightly.

"Spare me..." Xuwuxin, whom Lin Fan thought unafraid of death, suddenly dropped to his knees, clutching his chest and begging for mercy.

"Uh..." Lin Fan was taken aback. He'd have to take back what he said earlier. This was completely a trap.

Everything Xuwuxin had said before was the epitome of fearlessness.

But this change was just too fast.

"Let me go. I know many things about the Ancient Clan. If you let me go, I'll tell you everything."

"I can't die. I really can't die."

...

Lin Fan now looked at Xuwuxin with great satisfaction. This was the Xuwuxin he knew—the beast who would kill his father and betray his kin to survive.

He never showed mercy to beasts.

With a swift chop of the axe, he reaped the life.

"Hmm..."

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly noticed the strongest buff was about to expire. He tensed up.

"I chop..."

"Slash..."

"Ding, strongest buff expired."

"Ding, congratulations on killing Xuwuxin, Azure Heaven rank beginner."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 50,000 experience."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up."

"Ding, will you entrust your divine sense to the void and attain the Azure Heaven rank?"

"Ding, who needs a bicycle? Who needs divine sense entrustment? Forced level up."

"Ding, Azure Heaven rank beginner."

...

Lin Fan listened to the system's prompts, already used to its self-talk.

But just now, Lin Fan clearly felt a will in the void pulling at him, which the system forcibly severed.

In the Ancient Saint Realm, to break through to Azure Heaven rank, one had to entrust their divine sense to the void, establish a tablet, and attain the Azure Heaven.

But now, with the system's help, Lin Fan directly cut through all that, becoming an Azure Heaven rank powerhouse without entrusting his divine sense to the void.

"Boom..."

In an instant, a powerful aura burst forth.

Xia Zehua's expression changed as he was pushed back several zhang by the force.

"This aura is..." Xia Zehua hadn't expected Brother Lin to break through at this moment.

"Ouch..." Mu Liang and others with lower cultivation were blown askew, tumbling on the ground.

"Brother Lin, go easy..."

Lin Fan closed his eyes, feeling his divine sense roam through the endless void.

In that boundless void, mysterious tablets floated, emitting a faint glow.

His body surged with a powerful and vast energy.

This was the power of the Azure Heaven rank.

He pointed a finger.

The void tore, and chaotic void currents spilled out.

A smile crept onto Lin Fan's lips. Finally, he could tear the void of the Ancient Saint Realm.

This was a great step forward for Lin Fan.

His eyes opened and closed, a sharp light flashing before gradually fading.

"Demon City, absorb."

Lin Fan didn't know when the "Demon City" would evolve, but as a divine artifact, it required a vast amount of demonic energy. Still, he wasn't in a hurry.

With so many ancient beasts and ancient clans, there was plenty of resources. One day, it would transform into a true divine artifact.

But what disappointed Lin Fan was that he hadn't used the strongest buff well.

Still, one shouldn't be too greedy. Breaking through several realms in a row was already satisfying.

His leveling speed was like riding a rocket. People like Xia Zehua had cultivated for who knows how long to reach their current level, while he had surpassed them in just a few days. What more could he say?

"Brother Lin, you're amazing!" Mu Liang's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Brother Lin, I didn't expect your talent to be so strong. Breaking through after battle—such talent is terrifying," Xia Zehua said with emotion.

"Haha, keep it low-key, low-key..." Lin Fan waved his hand casually. "These are nothing."

"Style—that's style. Learn from this, everyone. Look at my Brother Lin's style, his humility..." Mu Liang stood beside Lin Fan, saying.

"Sycophant..." Duanming glanced at Mu Liang.

"Hmph... I don't bother with people ranked lower than me," Mu Liang said.

...

The others looked at the two and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Lin, since an Ancient Clan member died here, they've probably sensed it. For safety, I think we should leave quickly," Xia Zehua said.

"Mm." Lin Fan nodded.

He wondered how much his rank had risen after killing Xuwuxin.
